By Terry Loving
Why do we say a person was in the "wrong place at the wrong time" when he or she gets killed or hurt in some way? I believe we use this terminology because we hear others use it, but do we really reflect on its meaning? And how is it determined that a person is considered to be "in the wrong place," if they are going about normal living? More so, how do we determine the right time instead of the "wrong time" to be in a particular place?
Saying that a person was in the "wrong place at the wrong time" sounds to me like they share some responsibility for what happens to them. OK, in some cases that may be true. If you consent to accompany an armed man to a robbery and you get caught – you were definitely in the wrong place – with the wrong person – and doing the wrong thing. As far as timing, should the robbers have entered the bank earlier, later or perhaps another day?
I read an article entitled, "Bobby Tillman: Wrong Place at the Wrong Time Ends Young Life."1
It is a great possibility, barring any other unforeseen tragedy – that Bobby Tilman would still be alive if he had not gone to the party. Was he "wrong" for going? His mother knew he was attending the party, and he sought her approval on his attire before leaving the house. She told him to "be careful" as any caring mother would do. Should he have left the house at an earlier or later time? Was it fate? Who is to say?
"Adrian Tyrone Snow, 40, of Stone Mountain, was shot twice as he resisted two robbers trying to tie him up" when he entered a GameStop video game store in Rockdale County, GA.2 Was Mr. Snow at the "wrong place at the wrong time" as well? He went to the store during the commission of an armed robbery (wasn't aware of it) – should he have gone another day instead? Were Bobby Tilman and Mr. Snow responsible for what happened to them?
There are people who are robbed, killed, beaten and raped in their own homes. Are they in the "wrong place at the wrong time" in their own homes? How could that be? More so, how do we determine when it is the right times to go on errands, attend a party, or stay at home?
Dictionary.com defines the word "wrong" as: "not in accordance with what is morally right or good: a wrong deed." "Not correct in action, judgment, opinion, method…in error…" "Not proper or usual; not in accordance with requirements or recommended practice:" 3 Neither Bobby Tilman or Mr. Snow "committed an immoral act;" were "incorrect in action, judgment;" Nor did they do anything "not proper" – one went to a store, and the other went to a party – no more, no less.
So how do we determine the right place at the right time? We can't. Life happens, good and bad things happen to all of us. We go about our daily living and hope and pray to make it back home safely, dwell in safety, and enjoy the freedoms granted to us as American citizens. We live in a fallen and evil world, which someday will end. Evil is trying to win over good, and good has become mute. But Heaven has already won the battle (Revelations 17:14).
Until America – especially God's people – stand up, face evil, and establish that the "wrong place" is bringing evil to our schools, our homes, and our society, wickedness will continue to accumulate human casualties. As far as the "wrong time" there is no right time to experience tragedy and sorrow. But we live in a world full of it every day that we are alive; all the more reason that we need a Savior – The Savior – Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12)
"So it will be at the end of the age; the angels will come forth and take out the wicked from among the righteous…" (Matthew 13:49)

T. Lee Horne III was born in Athens, GA and raised in Franklin, LA. He is currently President of Brumby Enterprises, Inc., a managing partner of Horne Partnership and a member of the Board of Directors of Emerald Land Company.
"My goal is the remind my generation of and begin enacting the pledges we made back in college to make the world and better place by ending and staying out of Viet Nam type wars, by ending discrimination based on race, religion, sex or social beliefs and by ending governmental prohibition on behavior between consenting adults. I believe my experience in dealing with varied commercial and business problems and experience in dealing with people qualifies me to be your candidate in 2007 and Governor of Louisiana in 2008."
Here's a brief look at his thoughts on various issues:
Crime rates go down when offenders must compensate their victims, and responsible citizens are permitted to carry concealed weapons. The police must be given incentives to emphasize prevention of violent crime and to focus on finding violent criminals rather than non-violent and victimless crimes.
Violence seems to be a hallmark of our society. Our homicide rate is higher than most European nations; our children are even gunned down in their schools, often by other students.
Establishment politicians want to "get tough" on crime with more gun control laws, longer prison sentences, and larger police forces. Yet robberies, rapes, and homicides go down when states permit civilians to carry concealed weapons. Studies show that longer prison sentences, although costly for the taxpayer, won't deter criminals. Still others show that prohibition, whether of alcohol or of drugs, doubles the homicide rate by empowering organized crime.
Won't all these guns make our society more dangerous? Just the opposite! In 1999, 824 people died from firearm accidents, while the defensive use of guns saved approximately 400,000 lives, in most cases without even wounding the aggressor. Gun bans disarm victims, putting them at the mercy of murderers (or terrorists) who think nothing of breaking the gun laws.
The unfettered free market is the best equalizer. Excess regulation and government spending destroy jobs and increase unemployment.
Establishment politicians think that government is an agent of economic development. However, government cannot give you what it does not take and the only place to take from is your pocket - private business - the only true employers.
From 1987 to 1992, the number of regulators swelled once more to pre-1980 levels and the nation fell into recession. The 3.5 million newly-created jobs were destroyed as a result. The number of regulators has continued to increase, costing additional jobs as well. Was your job among them? Will you be unemployed when the next wave of government regulation hits?
More government regulation and spending translates to less wealth creation. Less wealth creation means fewer goods and services, less health care, higher prices. The resulting lower standard of living means that people can no longer achieve the American Dream, even with both spouses working full time.
The job of teaching is beyond price. The teachers I know and the teachers I had did it because they believe in teaching. It is and was a calling much like ministers and nuns and doctors that I know. Yes there are some exceptions but especially among teaching and religious professions the rule is good.
What can I do to encourage teachers?
First and foremost, class sizes 20 (20 -24 with a full time teachers aid) maximum first grade to fifth grade. That way, when the critical first lessons in reading and mathematics are taught, the teachers have a good chance of having enough time to help the few who need extra attention getting started in learning.
For the sixth grade through eighth grade, no more than 24 students in a class (24-30 with a full time teachers aid).
Ninth grade through twelfth grade, 30 maximum (30-35 with a full time teachers aid).
These are absolute numbers not average numbers. Just because one class has 15 does not mean that the administration gets to total all classes and divide the total number of students in a grade or school by the total number of teachers. Furthermore, ONLY teachers count as teachers. For this purpose, teacher's aids do not count as teachers, administrators do not count as teachers. Janitors do not count as teachers. Do not mix apples and oranges so to speak.
Everyone benefits from a well educated public in the state. You want your children and your friends' children and even your enemies' children to be well educated and financially successful. It is in your self-interest. Well educated and prosperous citizens pay more taxes to pay for better hospitals, nursing homes, higher social security, in short better everything for everybody.

Pipe Systems. GRP Pipes, FRP Pipes, HDPE Pipes, Hobas Pipes, what's the difference?
GRP Pipes, Hobas Pipes and other Types of Pipe Systems
Most pipe systems, including Hobas pipes, are known for the kind of materials that they are made from. But, different types of pipes are made for different purposes. The kind of material that passes through the pipe, the pressure, and temperature are factors in which we can determine what kind of pipes we would need to use.
There are a lot of different pipes. There are GRP pipes, FRP pipes, HDPE pipes, and Polyethylene pipes, to name a few. There more types out there, but for this purpose, I will only describe the pipes I mentioned.
GRP pipes or Glass Reinforced Polyester pipes is one kind of fiberglass pipe. You can read more about GRP Pies on the Australian HOBAS site: http://hobas.com.au/GRP-Pipe.html. These pipes are lightweight and very easy to handle. And because they are not made from metal, they are corrosion-free. GRP Pipe is also resistant to acidic liquids and they are ideal for use in water and sewage systems.
FRP pipes is also known as Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic pipe. This kind of pipe has a high strength-to-weight ratio. They are also corrosion-resistant and are low maintenance. These pipes are commonly used in oil field gathering and for flammable and combustible liquids. Nowadays, these pipes are also used as lining for large diameter concrete pipes for sewage applications.
HDPE pipes are High Density Polyethylene pipes. These pipes, along with Medium Density Polyethylene pipes, are strong, tough, and lasts for a long time. They can easily be installed and are flexible. These pipes are also resistant to chemicals and corrosion. Because of their properties, these pipes can carry potable water, waste water, chemicals, slurries, compressed gases, and even oil. Polyethylene pipes are known to have the lowest repair frequency per kilometer of pipe per year when compared to all other types of pipes that are used for urban water and gas distribution. This simply means that PE pipes are indeed very strong and durable.
With whatever application you will need it for, there are pipes that will be just right for the job. I'd recommend you try dealing with a pipe supplier like HOBAS. You just need to do your research and make sure that the pipe you use is the right pipe and it is applicable to the type of material that will pass through it.

Star Trek transporters take a giant leap towards reality
LIKE any other self-respecting geek, I am massively frustrated that we aren't all getting around by jet packs and Star Trek transporters like in the comics of my youth.
I blogged a while back about jet packs coming closer to reality, and now transporters have taken a massive leap forward too. (Just don't expect to be shaving time off your daily commute any time yet)
The Technology Review blog reports that Masahiro Hotta at Tohoku University in Japan has come up with a theory to teleport energy for the first time.
Basically, his work builds on the established transporter theory which says that two particles can share the same existance, due to something called quantum entanglement.
Because of that link, a measurement on one particle affects the other no matter how far apart they are, and that link can be used to transfer information without it having to pass through the intervening space. Still with me?
That idea was first posited by a chap called Charlie Bennett in 1993, but Hotta has taken to the next level. Here's the explanation.
The process of teleportation involves making a measurement on each one of an entangled pair of particles. He points out that the measurement on the first particle injects quantum energy into the system. He then shows that by carefully choosing the measurement to do on the second particle, it is possible to extract the original energy.
All this is possible because there are always quantum fluctuations in the energy of any particle. The teleportation process allows you to inject quantum energy at one point in the universe and then exploit quantum energy fluctuations to extract it from another point. Of course, the energy of the system as whole is unchanged.
He gives the example of a string of entangled ions oscillating back and forth in an electric field trap, a bit like Newton's balls. Measuring the state of the first ion injects energy into the system in the form of a phonon, a quantum of oscillation. Hotta says that performing the right kind of measurement on the last ion extracts this energy. Since this can be done at the speed of light (in principle), the phonon doesn't travel across the intermediate ions so there is no heating of these ions. The energy has been transmitted without traveling across the intervening space. That's teleportation.
My …. brain … hurts! And what the hell are Newton's balls?
That burning questions aside, this is exciting stuff.
While we are still miles away from transporting a real person (no-one has invented a working Heisenberg Compensator yet I notice) news like this means I can pretend it will be up and running by next week.

Ingredient Information:
Vitamin Blend
Vitamins are organic substances that are essential for the proper growth and functioning of the body. With the exception of vitamin D, which can be produced by the skin when exposed to the sun, vitamins must be obtained from food because the body is unable to produce them. If the intake of vitamin(s) isn't enough due to poor nutrition, restricted diets, or inadequate absorption, diseases can occur.
Vitamins are separated into two categories. Fat-soluble vitamins, which when taken in excess the body stores in the fat cells, and water-soluble vitamins, which are constantly flushed from the system. Unlike fat-soluble vitamins, water-soluble vitamins are easily lost during cooking and processing. The body does not store excess quantities of most water-soluble vitamins, so foods or supplements bearing them must be consumed frequently. Revive contains ALL needed water-soluble vitamins: Thiamine (Vitamin B1), Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5), Biotin (Vitamin B8), Vitamin B6, and Folate.
Alpha Lipoic Acid primarily works as a powerful antioxidant. When working in synergy with Vitamin C and E it becomes massively more effective. It also prevents cellular damage, reduces stress, lowers blood sugar and increases energy levels.
Biotin assists in the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and proteins. It is a critical component of enzymes involved in energy metabolism. It strengthens hair and nails, increases energy levels, promotes normal cholesterol levels, and reduces blood sugar levels.
Carotenoid Blend is a blend of the richest anti-oxidants known to boost overall health. Beta-Carotene is well known for its antioxidant rich properties. Lcophene supports prostrate health, Lutein offers a variety of health benefits, specifically for the eyes. Lastly, zeaxanthin supports the immune system. Although individually they offer health benefits, when combined their influence and benefits are enhanced tremendously. As a blend they: have a powerful free-radical quenching ability, support the heart and circulatory system, support healthy vision, provides some protection from ultraviolet light damage to the eyes and skin, support the glandular system and offers a host of immunosupportive benefits.
Coenzyme Q-10 is an organic compound that works with natural enzymes produced by the body to speed up digestion and absorption of vitamins. It provides optimal nutrition at the cellular level, and acts as an anti-oxidant. It protects cells from free radical damage and combines synergistically with Vitamin E, improving the vitamin's efficiency and absorption.
Inositol is naturally produced by the body and plays an important role in cellular development. It improves cell membrane maintenance, aids serotonin activity and heightens concentration. It helps in the breakdown of fats and reduces cholesterol.
Folate plays an important role in DNA and RNA synthesis. It improves the production of red blood cells and aids in the maintenance of the nervous system. It especially promotes heart health.
Niacin plays a role in many aspects of energy metabolism and helps with the function of the nervous system. It lowers cholesterol levels, improves circulation and relieves arthritis.
Panthothenic Acid, also known as Vitamin B5, is vital in the metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates. It lowers cholesterol and improves the production of growth hormones.
Riboflavin, or Vitamin B2, functions as a coenzyme for many metabolic processes in the body, such as red blood cell formation and nervous system function. It is involved in energy production as part of the electron transport chain that produces cellular energy. It is a crucial component in converting food into energy. It increases energy levels, reduces chronic fatigue, and improves concentration and mood.
Thiamin, vitamin B-1, functions in maintenance of the nervous system and improves heart muscle health. It increases energy production, maintains memory and improves carbohydrate tolerance.
Vitamin A enhances the health of the skin. It is often used to treat acne or other skin ailments. It promotes improved eyesight and vision. It helps to prevent infection and has a multitude of anti-aging and anti-cancer benefits. Vitamin A is needed by all of the body's tissues for general growth and repair processes and is especially important for bone formation, healthy skin and hair, night vision, and the function of the immune system.
Vitamin B-12 functions in a wide variety of metabolic processes. It also works closely with folate in blood cell formation, nervous system maintenance and heart health. It is known to improve memory, promote concentration, increase energy and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Vitamin B-6 functions with a multitude of enzyme systems to improve protein metabolism. It is also involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters in the brain and nerve cells, hence is frequently recommended as a nutrient to support mental function and mood. It plays an important role in the conversion of glycogen to glucose for added energy in the muscle tissue. Vitamin B-6 supports nervous system function, improves mood, is needed for red blood cell growth, supports white blood cell development which improves the immune system and gives some arthritis relief.
Vitamin C is needed by the body for hundreds of vital metabolic reactions. It is a valuable antioxidant and protects the body from free radical damage. Some of its benefits include: prevention of colds by boosting the body's natural immunity, promotes the healing of wounds, protects against the effects of stress, and helps in cancer prevention.
Vitamin D promotes both the absorption of calcium from the intestines into the blood and the removal of calcium from the bones into the blood. It increases bone density and strength which can help to reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Adequate levels of Vitamin D are crucial for healthy bone development, maintenance of bone density and bone strength.
Vitamin E is one of the most potent fat-soluble antioxidants. As such, Vitamin E protects cell membranes from the damage caused by free radicals. It is thought to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. It boosts the immune system function and reduces the risk of cancer.
Vitamin K is involved in both blood clotting and bone metabolism. In studies with elderly subjects those with a low Vitamin K intake were shown to have lower bone density and an increased risk of osteoporosis.
Mineral Blend The use of minerals to improve health goes back 5,000 years to the Bronze Age, where drinking or bathing in mineral laden spring waters was a common therapy for disease. Hot spring waters and muds are still medically sanctioned in much of Europe and Japan.
Vitamins have gotten more attention over the years as their health benefits have made headlines, but according to some studies, minerals are just as critical to our physical and mental health. They may possibly be even more important than vitamins. Minerals are a basic part of all cells, particularly blood, nerve and muscle cells as well as bones, teeth and soft tissues. They help to control the actions of enzymes and certain hormones. Minerals also provide the materials to build and maintain our bodies. For example, zinc activates the enzyme that allows our body to use Vitamin A, to promote good vision. Without zinc and vitamin A working in tandem, night blindness could eventually develop.
Boron boosts testosterone levels, strength and muscles mass and muscle strength. It improves calcium absorption and decreases body fat. It also aids in the metabolism of magnesium for optimal bone health.
Calcium is obviously needed to help build and maintain strong bones, but calcium is also important for blood clotting, muscle contraction, nerve transmission and maintenance of normal blood pressure. It is helpful in reducing the risk of colon cancer, regulating heart rhythms and treating premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
Chromium helps to support the many functions of insulin in the body, such as maintaining blood sugar, cholesterol levels and controlling appetite. It reduces body fat and increases lean body mass and muscle mass. Chromium is notorious for its poor absorption by the body, but has been combined with other vitamins and amino acids for maximum absorption.
Copper is involved in numerous biochemical reactions in human cells. It is a needed component for multiple enzymes that regulate cellular metabolism and connective tissue formation. Copper also aids in the absorption, storage and metabolism of iron.
Iodine is needed for the synthesis of thyroxin, which is one of the thyroid hormones involved in regulating metabolic state. Proper iodine intake is required for optimal function of the thyroid gland. It increases energy levels and enhances weight loss while balancing thyroid hormone levels.
Magnesium improves calcium absorption and helps to maintain bone density. It is needed as a co-factor for several enzymes to convert carbohydrates, protein and fat into energy, hence playing a vital role in energy metabolism. It also serves a role in conducting nerve impulses thereby helping to support the function of the heart.
Manganese is an essential trace nutrient that is required to manufacture enzymes necessary for the metabolism of proteins and fats. Manganese is also vital in the formation of collagen in the body. It aids in the formation of connective tissue, bones, blood-clotting factors and sex hormones. It also plays a role in calcium absorption, supporting the immune system and in regulating blood sugar levels.
Molybdenum is a component of several important interactions that lead to detoxification of the liver. It is involved in the breakdown of certain amino acids and waste products that need to be broken down and excreted in the urine.
Phosphorus is essential for normal heart and kidney functioning. It speeds up the healing of broken bones and is needed to balance and metabolize other vitamins and minerals.
Selenium plays a direct role in the body's ability to protect cells from the damage from free radicals. Due to its antioxidant nature, it is thought to aid in cancer prevention and prevent heart disease. It helps to support the immune system, male fertility, and prostrate health. Lastly it complements the antioxidant activity of the vitamin E, enhancing its benefits and absorption.
Silicon is helpful in healing joints and cartilage. It is primarily used by the body in the connective tissues to form cartilage and collagen. It is also present in the eyes, tendons, hair, skin, blood vessels and tooth enamel.
Vanadium is an essential trace mineral that plays a role in the metabolism of carbohydrates and has functions in the metabolism of cholesterol and blood lipids. It is helpful to lower blood sugar levels by mimicking the action of insulin. It increases muscle mass, and the muscle vascularity and blood flow. This results in the "pumped feeling†sought by professionals and athletes alike. Lastly, Vanadium increases the glycogen synthesis and storage.
Zinc is another essential trace mineral that has functions as part of about 300 different enzymes. As such, zinc plays a role in virtually all biochemical pathways and physiological processes. It enhances a wide variety of the body's processes including: digestion, wound healing, energy production, growth, cellular repair, collagen synthesis, bone strength, cognitive function, carbohydrate metabolism (glucose utilization and insulin production) and reproductive function. Even a slight deficiency of zinc has been known to cause depressed immunity, decreased sperm count and impaired memory. Zinc is best known for its role in immunity, where zinc interferes with the replication of the cold virus.
Herbal Formula
Herbs have been used to help cure ailments and diseases for thousands of years. Many studies have shown them to help improve and maintain health.
Citrus Bioflavonoids are usually found in fruits and vegetables, also known as Vitamin P. It is an antioxidant and is essential for the proper absorption and use of Vitamin C. It is also highly beneficial in improving the connective tissue found in cartilage and tendons.
Cranberry Powder is a powerful antioxidant that is well known in balancing cardiovascular health, preventing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol (hence lowering cholesterol), promoting urinary tract health, supporting dental and gum health, preventing bacteria from adhering to tissue and aiding sugar balance in the system.
Ginkgo Biloba leaf extract has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. Today it is the most widely used herbal treatment in improving memory, learning, alertness, and mood.
Amino Acids Blend
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. They produce over 1600 substances in the body and make up 3/4ths of the body's solid material, found in muscle tissue, organs, blood and skin. They make hormones, enzymes, and vitamins. Hence they are utterly essential for a healthy immune system and proper neurological functions. Amino acids must be constantly replaced in order to nourish the body, repair and regenerate tissue. They are generally ingested in the food we eat, however, due to many facts, proper balance of amino acid intake is rarely achieved and supplementation is advisable. In fact, during illness, trauma, surgery and stress more amino acids are required than can even be obtained by diet alone. In the chronically ill, they can help reverse nitrogen balance and they help to prevent tissue wasting.
Catechins, primarily found in green tea, are known to possess potent antioxidant activity. Thus they offer a multitude of benefits including: reducing cholesterol, reducing blood clotting, enhancing immune function, enhancing weight loss and being anti-cancer.
Borage Seed Oil is enhanced by being blended with the Vitamin C and Vitamin E. These two vitamins help to keep the oil more stable and ensure its quality use in preventing blood clot formations, supporting the flexibility of cell membranes, modulating immune function, and most importantly, in its anti-inflammatory activity.
Milk Thistle Extract has been used medicinally for over 2, 000 years, most commonly for the treatment of liver and gallbladder disorders. It has cholesterol lowering effects and helps to treat or prevent liver damage caused by many drugs or toxic chemicals.
Grape Seed Extract possesses potent antioxidant properties. It reduces the risk of cancer, reduces inflammation and swelling and promotes eye health. Research on the chemical properties of grape seed extract has shown it to be a powerful antioxidant, even more potent than the more commonly used antioxidant vitamins like C and E.
N-Acetyl L-Cysteine, known as "NAC" is a powerful immune system supporter and is an anti-toxin. It has an ability to neutralize cell and DNA damaging free radical which may help to slow down the effects of aging. NAC has been shown to play a protective role against a variety of toxic hazards such as cigarette smoke, auto exhaust, herbicides and some overdoses of acetaminophen. It also plays a beneficial role in prostrate health and in the respiratory system.
PABA, short for Para-aminobenzoic Acid, is a member of the B vitamins and is part of the folic acid molecule. It is known for its nourishment to hair and its usefulness as a sunscreen. It aids in the metabolism and utilization of amino acids and is also supportive of blood cells, particularly the red blood cells. It is important to skin, hair pigment and intestinal health.
Reduced L-Glutathione is an antioxidant involved in many cellular functions such as detoxification, amino acid transport, and production of coenzymes and recycling of vitamins E and C. It is involved in many functions of the body and proper amounts are crucial for maintaining good health. Glutathione is involved in DNA creation and repair, the transport of amino acids, the metabolism of toxins and carcinogens. It enhances the immune system function and prevents cellular damage. It shows remarkable antioxidant activity and has detoxification attributes.
Essential Fatty Acids is a term which refers to two fatty acids (linoleic acid and linolenic acid) which our bodies our unable to synthesiz and thus, must be consumed in the diet. These essential fatty acids are needed to help regulate blood-clotting, blood pressure, heart rate, immune response and a wide variety of other biological processes. They promote brain development, support cardiovascular health, reduce blood clotting, are anti-inflammatory and help to reduce blood pressure. The consumption of fatty acids is also believed to be helpful in treating Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Omega 3,6,9 Firstly, Omega-3 fatty acids protect against the development of diseases such as heart disease, attention deficit disorder, arthritis, colitis and other inflammatory diseases. These fatty acids are known to increase growth hormone levels (which also promotes muscle growth), reduce blood clotting, reduce blood pressure, suppress inflammation and relieve depression. Omega-3 fatty acids are a particularly useful dietary supplement for people who do not consume adequate amounts of foods, such as fish, which are rich sources. Parents with children affected by ADHD (attention deficit- hyperactivity disorder) may consider using omega-3 supplements to bolster their child's intake of these important nutrients.
Omega 9 fatty acids are found in foods such as olive and canola oils. Although Omega-9 fatty acids help support good health, they are not essential and can be made in the body. Omega-3 and omega-6, in contrast, must be obtained in the diet. Omega-9 helps provide structure for cell membranes, support growth and helps to provide energy. It also improves heart health and lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Other Nutrients
Alpha-Carotene is a powerful anti-oxidant, though lesser known than its sister Beta-Carotene, some studies show it may be more powerful in inhibiting the processes that lead to tumor growth. As all antioxidants, it is anti-cancer, anti-aging, and protects the cells of the body from the damage caused by free radicals. Free the radicals Now! Radicals! We need more Radicals! Man its getting late. It is also particularly useful in enhancing the immune system. Back to the top
Bromelain is believed to speed recovery from sports and other minor injuries, due to the proteolytic enzymes which digest protein. It aids digestion due to the consumption of these enzymes and can help alleviate gastrointestinal complaints such as gas/bloating, diarrhea, and cramps. When these enzymes are absorbed intact and active into the circulation they have anti-inflammatory and pain relieving properties that can be helpful to athletes recovering from exercise or injury, and to patients recovering from surgery.
Glucosamine stimulates cartilage cells to produce two proteins that help hold joint tissue together. It may also help prevent the breakdown of collagen in the body. Due to the fact that glucosamine is usually not obtained directly from food, the body makes it from building blocks found it food which, as people age, their bodies become less and less able to do. Hence for cartilage and joint health it is vital to supplement with some form of Glucosamine.
Isoflavones can be found in many foods, but the best known source is the soy bean. They are known to ease menopause symptoms, reduce the risk of heart disease, protect against prostate problems, improve bone health, and reduce the risk of cancer. It also has potent antioxidant properties, comparable to that of the well known antioxidant vitamin E.
Lutein is a carotenoid found in the macular region of the eyes, which is the back of the eye where the retina is located. There they are believed to help filter out damaging blue light and prevent free radical damage to the delicate structures in the back of the eye. Taken as a supplement, it acts as an antioxidant, supporting normal eye health and may help prevent glaucoma and cataracts.
Lycopene (a cartenoid responsible for giving tomatoes their red color) is a potent antioxidant and seems to inhibit the growth of cancer cells which makes it logical that a higher intake of this carotenoid may indeed be associated with the reduced incidence of cancer.
Quercetin has potent antioxidant and anti inflammatory properties, protecting cellular structures and blood vessels from the damage of free radicals. It improves the strength of blood vessels, may give relief from allergic symptoms, helps prevent cataracts and gives you extra energy to boot.

Starburst will be trying something new this April when they release a limited edition all-pink pack. The officials are claiming that the idea for the Pink Starburst came from the fans itself.
"On social media we're seeing people talk about pink Starburst more than any other flavor; there's even a meme about being treated 'like a Pink Starburst. The Pink conversation and fanfare has continued to grow so we decided to act." Matt Montei, Sr. Director of Confections at Wrigley.
The pink packs will be available in major retailers including Walmart, Walgreens and many others.

Let the Sunshine in Tennessee
For the second straight year, members of the Tennessee House of Representatives remain under criticism for their use of meetings inside lawmaker offices and conference rooms to discuss upcoming legislation.
These so called meetings are packed with lobbyists and representatives of those who own the Representatives. Government experts and Democrats question the reasons for the meeting and argue the meetings undermine transparency.
Republicans claim the meetings are casual greet and meet with lobbyists and officials.
The meetings make the Sunshine law a joke. Republicans tout Sunshine Week, when media organizations get a brief peek of transparency in government.
Democrats say most of the decisions about bills are now being made in these pre-meetings, rather than in committee meetings. Unlike the secret pre-meetings, Committee meetings are held in meeting rooms easily accessible to the public, the press, live-streamed online and archived for on-demand access.
Some Democrats point out that they have never been invited to these meetings and noted… "It's outside the public eye, and anything you're doing behind closed doors outside the public eye, for the most part, is usually not good," (D) Mitchell said.
The use of pre-meetings came to light last year, after a joint effort by The Tennessean, the Knoxville News Sentinel, The Associated Press, the Chattanooga Times Free Press, and The Commercial Appeal discovered that at least 10 of the 15 committees in the House held pre-meetings.
Experts call these meetings "secretive" because the meetings were not publicly announced and, on some occasions, members of the media were initially prevented from attending.
The Senate does not hold similar secret meetings.
When meetings of state government are held in secret and attended by lobbyists… that cannot be good for the public. But, when your party holds a super majority… do they really care?

Illegal migration is one of the important challenges facing Egypt today. Given that the committee alone cannot deal with the issue, we believe there must be a joint solution in which the government, civil society, the media and the business community participate," said Naila Gabr, head of the National Coordinating Committee on Preventing and Combating Illegal Migration (NCCPIM), at a symposium last week in Cairo.
To give an indication of the size of the problem, Gabr said that border police have arrested 3,720 illegal migrants since 18 March this year. Most of these were on their way to Europe, the destination of most illegal migrants, she added.
The committee asked the media to report the problem responsibly. "We need success stories about young people who have managed to find success in their own country," she said. The alternative, covering stories about the victims of illegal migration or reporting migrant numbers, she said, is contributing to the problem.
"When young people see success stories about illegal migrants, they may be keen to follow suit. But if they read examples of successful young people inside their own country they will think twice before leaving and illegally entering another," she said.
Hebatallah Al-Semary, a professor at the Faculty of Mass Communication at Cairo University, pointed to the importance of the media in combating illegal migration, not only by discouraging young people, but also by encouraging them to work inside their country and presenting success stories that could be examples to them.
Al-Semary pointed to the ability of social media to address the cultural and psychological motivations that prompt some young people in Egypt to think about leaving their country. She said the present coverage of the issue is superficial and lacks a comprehensive approach.
"Newspapers focus on the news rather than on analysing it and looking at the reasons behind such phenomena. Radio and TV coverage is linked to particular incidents or to shelters in the host countries," she said.
Too often the media looks at an illegal migrant as a criminal rather than as a victim, she said. She added that social media is the most influential form of media among young people, but that it could be used to attract young people towards illegal migration, especially when used by illegal migration brokers.
A documentary centre gathering articles and programmes written or made about the issue could be useful, she said, since this could identify TV and film documentaries about illegal migration, boosting allegiance to the country via the school curricula and other means.
There is also a role for religion, she said, since this discourages illegal migration and deals with illegal migrants as victims rather than as criminals.
Nasser Musallam, responsible for the illegal migration programme at the National Council for Motherhood and Childhood, pointed to the noticeable increase in children illegally migrating to Europe after 2009 when Italy issued a law banning the return of migrant children to their countries of origin until they were 18 years old.
"In 2009 there were some 15,000 illegal migrants. That had gone up to 80,000 to 90,000 in 2015. Even the age of migrants, earlier mostly over 18, fell to between six and 15 years old," he said.
He said that his programme aims to improve the living conditions of young people in Egypt to help prevent their migration. It started in Fayoum, he added, in a village where a large number of youth had already migrated to Europe.
"We built a state-of-the-art school that teaches hotel skills and Italian as a second language. It graduates trained young people that can compete in the labour market in Europe," he said.
However, the school had declined after the 25 January Revolution, he added. But he pointed to further measures that could combat the phenomenon, such as a law targeting brokers and measures aimed at changing the culture in villages that encourage young people to migrate in order to earn money abroad.
Mohamed Al-Kazzaz, a journalist at Al-Ahram who has done research on the issue, said it is a large problem, especially among children. "There are some 10,000 illegal migrant children in Europe who have travelled unaccompanied by their parents, and nearly 7,000 of these are from Egypt," he said.
"The catastrophe is that only 2,500 of these children are in shelters, while more than 7,000 are in the streets of the host countries and open to all sorts of exploitation." It is necessary for the media to focus on young people's success stories in order to curb illegal migration, he added.
The NCCPIM was established in March 2014 to combat the issue and look at measures to encourage young people to stay in the country. It works in collaboration with governmental bodies and civil society organisations.
"We aim to combat illegal migration, especially over the last few years when the number of migrant children has increased," Gabr said. It documents programmes made about the issue and has contributed to preparing the first study of illegal migration by unaccompanied young people in cooperation with the National Centre for Social and Criminological Studies. The results of the study will be published later this year.
In addition to its documentary role, the NCCPIM also has an information role. "We visit villages that send illegal migrants abroad. We talk to young people, children, families, teachers and others, explaining the dangers of illegal migration," Gabr added.
However, the NCCPIM sees the law that defines illegal migration and punishes it as one of its most important achievements. "We finished the draft of the law last July and the government ratified it in November. It was reviewed by the State Council and is now waiting for parliament to discuss it. Once passed it will help a lot in combating illegal migration," Gabr said.
The committee will also launch a media campaign this summer in English and Arabic entitled "Egypt, Your Future" that aims to convince young people that their future is in their country rather than abroad.

In the center of a paved cul-de-sac, in the middle of an otherwise empty field, stood a woman, statue-still, absorbing the fading evening light. She wore a magnificent hoop skirt that looked from a distance to be made of rose petals. Her arms were frozen in the air.
A covered bridge, an equally vibrant red, crossed the river roaring with spring rains, and the traffic on nearby Route 9 rushed to and from West Brattleboro. There were seats inside the bridge, and candy hearts were strewn across the asphalt. Everywhere I looked, there were words stenciled in chalk on the ground:
Presence Makes The Heart Grow
Patience Is One Path To Gratitude
As I watched her, the woman in red moved slowly. Her movements were deliberate and graceful as those of someone lost in the careful sweep of some ancient ritual. I heard the water roar and the rush of the traffic.
I wanted to get closer, camera in hand, but it wasn't time yet.
I'd arrived a little early. A group was congregating a little further up the hill around one of the guides who was to lead the audience through the performance of Candice Salyer's Significant Figures. The event, organized and hosted by the Vermont Performance Lab, is part of their Progressive Performance Festival—three dance events performed in and around Brattleboro June 2-4.
Each evening, an audience of up to 35 will meet at the Blue Moose Cafe in downtown Brattleboro, and after refreshments, they'll board a bus that will take them to three original contemporary dance works by Emily Johnson, Adele Myers, and Candice Salyers, all in separate locations.
Johnson's piece includes storytelling, multimedia, fish and dance, and it's performed with musicians at the Luminz Studio. Myers dances on stage at the New England Youth Theater with an ensemble that includes a large stretch of pink shag carpet. Salyers' piece is performed solo, mostly outside, around and in the Creamery Covered Bridge in West Brattleboro.
Audience members for Significant Figures gather up the hill from where the performance begins, but, as with the physical boundaries of the piece, its precise starting and ending points are also difficult to determine.
Through the trees, as I waited with the others, I could see the lady in the blood-red skirt moving in the field below—never moving her legs, but bending her body and arms slowly. Unlike in a more formal theatrical production, no curtain was dramatically swept aside; the performance began the moment the audience noticed her and began to wonder. When the guide eventually led us down the hill, our curiosity was already engaged, and as we walked closer, finding a spot on the paved path before her, old questions were replaced by new ones.
Even as the audience fanned out around her, the woman in the red skirt continued her glacial choreography, and, gradually it seemed, her movements became more broken and angular. Less graceful. More distraught. Her skirt hiding her feet, she moved across the grass.
My fellow audience members became statues, staring back at her. Though the guides offered no rules about how to watch the performance, many of those I was with chose to plant themselves in a space and witness what happened, but with my camera, looking for the best angles to capture what was happening, I crept around the circle. Because her movements were so deliberate—raising an arm could take well over a minute—there was plenty of time to absorb what the woman in the red skirt was doing, to take in the bridge, the river, and her relationship to the audience.
The dance, like molasses in January, began taking on new dimensions at quite a clip.
When Salyers undid her skirt and stepped from it, out of the grass and onto the pavement, the act seemed bold. Though she did it slowly, it felt like a surprise, and though she had a shorter black skirt on underneath, it felt as if she were naked. Exposed to the core. After taking a few steps, she hunched down and crawled five or six yards across the pavement to a chalked outline of her body, surrounded by plastic army men. Where the gradual grace of her movement seemed dignified, the length of her journey across the asphalt felt like torture.
As she finally lay down in the outline and became still, she said nothing and her face was largely without expression, yet she seemed absolutely shattered. Broken. Her feet and hands were red and pocked with gravel. An old, minor wound had reopened on her knee and there was blood. Caught in her hair, the plastic action heroes pointed their guns in the air.
Candice Salyers grew up in Tennessee as a Southern Baptist. When she was a toddler, her mother tried to channel the young dancer's constant movement into ballet lessons.
"I went kicking and screaming, but now, of course, I'm glad she persisted," she said in an interview with the Advocate earlier this month. Instead of a dancer, Salyers wanted to be a preacher, but since the faith she and her family belonged to had strict gender restrictions, she was forced to pursue her ambitions through different avenues. "It's the one time I was stopped from doing what I wanted," she said, but she's made up for it in a myriad of other ways.
She currently lives in Northampton, and in addition to recent solo performances at a number of festivals, she is finishing up semesters teaching dance part-time at Smith College and Keene State. Salyers is also working on her Ph.D dissertation through Texas Women's University, specializating in dance performance and environmental philosophy. She is also working toward a Masters of Divinity, and is at work on a new dance project which, she says, explorer, "sincerity from the perspective of saints. People who are striving for a purity that is not only for themselves."
The performance this weekend, Significant Figures, is something Salyers worked on for several years, and elements have been presented elsewhere, including with the Vermont Performance Lab, where she's been a resident artist over the last year.
Rising from the chalk mark on the ground, the once broken woman stood. The audience followed her as she walked, dignified again, to the covered bridge. Single file, we followed her along one side of the bridge, and above our heads, hidden in the rafters, voices whispered to us.
"I want to be magnanimous," an unseen child said as the water rushed below my feet.
The bridge was set up to act like a stage, with seats filling half the space. The other half, behind a two-inch white picket fence, was covered in handwriting. On the white chalk, the woman danced, smearing her words beneath her feet. Her movement wasn't as slow as before, and as she danced to a scorching ballad by Lucinda Williams, her movement became fierce and cathartic.
And, for one brief moment, the woman jerked her head up and looked at us. After an hour of being silent spectators, we felt suddenly complicit.
And then she turned and left the bridge in silence. As we stood and crossed the field of smudged verbiage, the guides handed us envelopes. Mine had a hand written note inside which read, "Thanks for being here."
When I got to the other end of the bridge, I saw, down the hill, though the trees, in the center of a paved cul-de-sac, a statuesque woman standing in the middle of an otherwise empty field."
Tickets for the Progressive Performance Festival are available at the Blue Moose Caf? or online. Tickets are $40 and include tapas and transportation between the events. Tickets for individual performances are $15. See vermontperformancelab.com for more information.

Getting and setting content [text(), html() and val()]
The simplest aspect of DOM manipulation is retrieving and setting text, values and HTML. These 3 things might seem like the same thing, but they are not. Text is a textual (no HTML) representation of the inner content for all regular elements, values are for the form elements and HTML is the same as text, but it include any markup.
Fortunately for us, jQuery comes with a method for each of the 3, allowing us to both retrieve and set these properties: The text(), html() and val() methods/functions. Here is a little example which will show us the difference between them and how simple they are to use:

<input type="text" id="txtTest" name="txtTest" value="Input field" />
