Some of our clients are kind enough to share their experience with us... read on...
Thank you for taking the time to read some of my testimonials.
"Agora que o negócio do imóvel está concluído, e bem, para todas as partes intervenientes, quero manifestar o meu apreço pelo profissionalismo e eficiência como tudo foi tratado pela equipa da Algarve Property. Ao Ricardo Marcos em particular, agradecer-lhe a excelente colaboração e empenho que sempre colocou na resolução de todas as questões. Se outra oportunidade, de negócio surgir, não terei dúvidas em escolher a Algarve Property. Para liderar o processo. "
We popped into Algarve Property on the Vilamoura Marina in early July 2018, as we thought that we would just test the water as regards a possible sale of our apartment that we have happily owned for 11 years.
The AP staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. They all spoke excellent English which certainly helped.
We had a good and honest discussion with Algarve Property about our, and their, opinion of a realistic sale price that we mutually agreed upon. We got all the paperwork sorted in little more than 24-48 hours. The viewing started surprisingly quickly. We had a realistic offer within three weeks and the completion was three weeks after that. So, the whole process took a mere six weeks. We realise that this is an unusually quick turnaround but we were able to fit it all into our schedule. The lawyer we used, Eva Vaz Rama, was recommended/suggested by Algarve Property, and we found her to be excellent and very professional, thorough and reasonably priced. The whole process was remarkably pain-free and the money was in our Portugal bank account on the day of the completion.
Quick questions:
1. What is your opinion about AlgarveProperty.com serv
2. Describe your experience as a seller, working with AlgarveProperty.com - They made the whole process very easy and they took the hard yards out of our hands.

We used Algarve Property when selling our villa near Sao Bras. Their service was extremely professional. Ricardo and Claudio were very friendly and helpful providing us with a realistic valuation, advising us on the prevailing market conditions and producing a fantastic presentation of the villa on their website. The video which they produced (including the use of drone photography) was superb and undoubtedly showed our villa at its absolute best. We have no hesitation in recommending Algarve Property to anyone selling a property in the Algarve.
We have owned a villa in Vilamoura since 2005. We decided to put our villa on the market in 2018 as we now live in America, have another home in Ireland and with the kids getting older, we just didn't get the opportunities to get to Portugal as much anymore. We initially listed our property with another agent but given the slow progress with showings and upon the advice of the property management company that took care of our villa we made contact with Ricardo Marcos. We were immediately impressed with his excellent communication skills and professional approach. He put together a strong marketing campaign for our house. Immediately we had an uptick in viewings. After each viewing Ricardo would follow up with a detailed viewing report. If there was anything urgent he would either call or text me. He also worked closely with our lawyer to help expediate all paperwork etc..
I would highly recommend Ricardo Marco and the team at Algarve property for their professionalism and can do attitude. Really great to work with!

A minha mãe decidiu vender o apartamento que tinha em Vilamoura, o que me proporcionou conhecer pessoas de um profissionalismo exemplar. O Ricardo Marcos mostrou ser um bom profissional, sempre disponivel e de uma atenção e amabilidade extrema. Os outros elementos que tive o prazer de conhecer incluindo a drª Angela com quem trabalham, são dignos de um elogio francamente positivo e se tivesse que dar uma nota seria a classificação máxima. Se um dia precisar de vender ou comprar um imóvel recorrerei sem margem para dúvidas à Algarve Property. Um bem haja a toda a equipa Fátima Lencastre

A Algarve Property contactou-me no seguimento do meu pedido de informação em relação a um imóvel publicitado num site de imoveis. Depois disso, ao longo de vários meses a Algarve Property (Ricardo Marcos) foi mantendo contacto comigo apresentando-me varias opções á medida que iam surgindo no mercado de acordo com as características que eu procurava.
Trabalhar com a Algarve Property foi uma experiencia ótima. O Ricardo Marcos nunca desistiu, foi persistente sem ser desagradável e foi um excelente mediador neste negócio pois consegui levar os proprietários a aceitar a minha proposta.
No futuro eu recomendarei os serviços da Algarve Property à minha família e amigos e sem duvida os serviços do Ricardo como consultor.
O Ricardo é um excelente profissional, muito organizado, muito pontual e sempre disponível (Fora do horário de expediente, fins semanas e feriados).

Once I and my wife had decided that Vilamoura was definitely the place for us, our holiday home search began.
What with AlgarveProperty.com being in such a good location near the marina this seemed like the obvious place to start our search. I made contact with Ricardo Marcos in branch and explained that our criteria may be a little impossible to match as we were looking for, golf views, near marina, private pool for a modest budget.
Within a couple of weeks Ricardo emailed me to let me know of a property that fitted all of the above criteria that had recently been reposed by the bank in need of some attention. I already had a visit booked as I was visiting Vilamoura on our golf societies annual visit so arranged with Ricardo to view this and a couple of properties whilst in Portugal between rounds.
Although the first 2 properties of the 4 we visited didn't suit what we were looking for the second 2 made or decision difficult as both properties were extremely good value and strong in different aspects.
In the end we decided to go for a 3 bedroom semi in the Old village 10/15 mins walk from the marina with golf views and pool, this has now been renovated and furnished and we look forward to spending as much time as possible there in the coming years with our family.
Ricardo helped us to negotiate with the bank ensuring we got the best deal and at no point did I ever feel pressured or hassled which as anyone searching for a property abroad would know is virtually unheard of.
Ricardo also introduced us to a local solicitor who dealt with all of our legal needs, including dealing with the bank, Inland Revenue and utilities providers, this would have been extremely difficult for us to do what with the language barrier but in all instances Ricardo has always been there to assist.
I have already suggest that a friend who is searching for a property in the Algarve make contact with Ricardo but it transpires he is already dealing with one of Ricardo's colleagues and by all accounts is in safe hands.
Overall the experience was a pleasure and I would now consider Ricardo a friend in Portugal and look forward to popping in for a cup tea with him whenever over in Portugal.
Well done algarveproperty.com!

We don't usually give testimonials, as to be honest, any reviews posted on a company's website are only ever going to be good ones!
However in this instance, we felt that the service provided by AlgarveProperty, was superb and deserved of a testimonial.
Our consultant was Ricardo Marcos. Our initial dealings with Ricardo, were by email, all of which were handled professionally, courteously and extremely promptly.
He took on board our requirements for the properties we were interested in viewing and offered a few alternatives to our original selection.
When we were available to view these properties, he drove us to and from the locations explaining the different options and potential in each property. At no stage did we feel under any pressure to buy a property.
When we found the right property for us, Ricardo assisted us with the sale and transfer and helped us when we first took possession of our apartment.
He has provided us with contacts and recommendations for improvements we required to the apartment and subsequently arranged appointments with these contractors.
We highly recommend AlgarveProperty.com and Ricardo Marcos in particular.

Antes de chegarmos até ao Ricardo passamos por muitos mediadores imobiliários e respetivas empresas... De longe, o Ricardo foi quem mais demonstrou preocupação em perceber quais os nossos desejos e expectativas.
De todas as casas que vimos, e foram muitas, as que nos foram apresentadas por ele sempre foram as que mais se aproximavam dos nossos desejos! Foi incansável e imensamente disponível!
O nosso obrigado por nos ter ajudado a encontrar o nosso lar!

When deciding to acquire a property in the Algarve, our goal was to find a sea front property apartment.
From Tavira to Lagos, we contacted several real estate agencies.
When contacting Algarve Property, Vilamoura, we were immediately convinced that Ricardo Marcos, by his professionalism, knowledge of the Algarve market and his gentleness, could meet our demand.
Ricardo has now become a good friend and has given us judicious advices for settling in the Algarve.
We are very grateful for his services and we will not hesitate to recommend him to those looking to invest in the Algarve.
L'agence Algarve Property a été la seule à répondre à nos attentes et à être efficace dans nos recherches. La réactivité a été irréprochable et l'accueil convivial.
Cette compétence est surtout liée à la personnalité de Ricardo Marcos, consultant, souriant, efficace, sérieux, très professionnel. Je dirai pour conclure qu'un prospect peut accorder une grande confiance à Ricardo Marcos.
Nous ne manquerons de le recommander à notre entourage.
Quand nous avons voulu investir dans un appartement en Algarve j'ai contacté plusieurs agences immobilières. Algarve Property était une des peux qui me faisait des propositions en tenant compte de nos critères.
Les prix proposés étaient des prix net sans frais extra.
Algarve Property a préparé parfaitement l'écriture de vente, facilitant nous de sorte que seulement un seul voyage au Portugal était nécessaire.
Le consultant, Ricardo Marcos est un professionnel compétant qui ne laisse aucun effort pour nous aider, aussi bien, avant que après la vente.
Je conseillerais Algarve Property á toutes les personnes qui veulent investir en Algarve.
Nous avions bien préparé notre séjour de 6 semaines pour choisir un appartement en Algarve et nous avons visité beaucoup de biens entre la frontière Espagnole et la pointe Saint Vincent.
Nous avons utilisé de nombreuses agences et Algarve Property a été parmi le trois meilleures par la qualité et le nombre de propriétés intéressantes. Finalement cette agence avait en portefeuille la meilleure offre dans un condominium déjà visite avec les autres agences.
Ce n'était que le début d'une expérience très réussie. Ricardo, notre consultant, a convaincu le propriétaire d'accepter notre offre, fourni le juriste et la banque Portugaise nécessaire pour procéder au paiement nous permettant en 3 semaines seulement de signer l'acte final chez le notaire.
Nous avons passé les deux dernières nuits du séjour dans notre appartement, difficile d'être plus efficace!
Mentionnons aussi la qualité de l'accueil. Ricardo a été un guide précieux pour connaitre la région et nous donner toutes les adresses utiles à nos futurs séjours.

Women with serum uric acid levels over 5mg/dl have a significantly lower risk of developing gout than men, according to scientists from Boston University School of Medicine.
In the first study aimed at exploring the link between uric acid levels and gout risk in women, researchers discovered that increasing age, obesity, hypertension, alcohol consumption and diuretic use are among leading contributors.
Caused by high uric acid levels in the blood, gout is a common and agonisingly painful inflammatory arthritis, and although it usually affects the big toe, can develop in any joint in the body.
The disease has always been considered a male issue but there is increasing evidence suggesting that the condition is also a concern for older women.
Analysis of this 52-year follow-up study found that the risk of gout among women with serum uric acid levels greater than 8mg/dl was 46 times higher than that among women whose levels were lower than5mg/dl.
The full findings of the study have been published in the April issue of Arthritis & Rheumatism, a journal of the American College of Rheumatology.

France in fresh diplomatic push to end fighting in Syria's Aleppo
Issued on: Modified:
The United Nations Security Council will vote on Saturday on a draft resolution that demands an immediate end to air strikes and military flights over Syria's Aleppo city, but the measure appears doomed to be vetoed by Russia.
The 15-member council has been negotiating for a week on the text drafted by France and Spain. The vote was called after French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault visited Moscow on Thursday and Washington on Friday to discuss the resolution.
"This is not a draft which is right for adoption, I have this suspicion that the real motive is to cause a Russian veto," said Russian U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin on Friday. "I cannot possibly see how we can let this resolution pass."
A resolution needs nine votes in favor and no vetoes to be adopted.
Ayrault said that he planned to go to New York for the vote and told reporters in Washington: "I still have hope that the resolution will pass and that it can be implemented."
The draft, seen by Reuters, urges an immediate cessation of hostilities and safe and unhindered humanitarian aid access in Syria. It "demands that all parties immediately end all aerial bombardments of and military flights over Aleppo city."
It also asks U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon to propose options for a U.N.-supervised monitoring of a truce and threatens to "take further measures" in the event of non-compliance by "any party to the Syrian domestic conflict."
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces, backed by Russian war planes and Iranian support, have been battling to capture eastern Aleppo, the rebel-held half of Syria's largest city, where more than 250,000 civilians are trapped.
"It is unprecedented for the members of the council to ask a permanent member to limit its own activities," Churkin said.
"I'm supposed to vote for a demand that then our military will have to comply with. It doesn't mean that certain things cannot happen but they can't happen through a certain process, which is definitely not putting a resolution with this kind of text on the table," he said.
Russia and China have previously protected the Syrian government from council action by blocking several resolutions, including a bid to refer the situation in Syria to the
International Criminal Court.
The draft resolution expresses "outrage at the alarming number of civilian casualties caused by the escalating level of violence and intensified campaigns, in recent days, of
indiscriminate aerial bombings in Aleppo."
A crackdown by Assad on pro-democracy protesters in 2011 sparked a civil war and Islamic State militants have used the chaos to seize territory in Syria and Iraq. Half of Syria's 22 million people have been uprooted and more than 400,000 killed.

Ten Healthy Refreshing Drinks For Summer – AIB
In summer heat keeps raising things we need to follow to beat the heat:
Drink Sufficient Water – an adult requires a liquid feed of at least 1.5 to 2 litres per day. The warmer it is, the greater the need: hence adjust the drinking quantity according to the outside temperature! The same applies in the case of severe physical activities or sporting events: here, too, the fluid demand is higher than normal due to increased sweating.
Drink Often – the optimal drink should distribute over small portions. The body can not optimally utilise a single large amount of fluid. Drink often and little as once and much! So that you do not forget to drink, so you "educate" yourself almost to the regular drinking and does not come into the situation to remember the drinking for a long time.
Drinking Properly – sugar and caffeine-containing beverages or alcohol are taboo and should be avoided especially on hot days. The reason is that they contribute a very little fluid to the supply of the organs due to their sugar content – and, on the contrary, provide even more thirst. Alcohol also removes fluid from the body and interferes with the water balance. That's why water is especially suitable for supplying the necessary liquid to the circulation.
Too much water is just as harmful as too little water: significant amounts of fluid are a source of heart and kidneys and can leak valuable mineral and trace elements correctly.
If you have much difficulty by drinking, you can also rely on food with a high water and mineral content: tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelons and strawberries are excellent for balancing the fluid balance and for filling the reserves lost by sweating.
The tastes and variety of the fruits become the perfect aspect and what better than to take valuable fruit drinks? They help us start our day with lots of energy or enjoy a mid-afternoon under the shade with something refreshing in our hands.
You can do it yourself! You just need a little creativity, desire and visit your favourite supermarket. If you ask yourself why you are healthy, here is the answer: they are energetic, they help the memory, you are satisfied or to detoxify you. Enjoy!
Top Ten Summer Drinks! Fruity, sweet, sour, and sparkling: cool summer drinks for every occasion.
1) Fresh Iced Tea!
One teaspoon dried herbs of your choice with boiling water. Pull and then allow to cool. Add the juice of a squeezed lemon, sweet with sweetener or honey and fill it with ice cubes.
2) Water Melon Juice!
Cut watermelon into small pieces (remove the seeds) and place in a large bowl; Pour everything with 1 litre of cold mineral water and sweeten with sweetener or honey. Add ice cubes, briefly let through and enjoy.
3) Pina Colada Shake!
Add 500 ml of coconut milk and 250 grams of pineapple or orange to a blender or smoothie maker. Mix creamy and if necessary sweet. Place ice cubes in glasses and pour in with the shake; Garnish with coconut chips.
4) Strawberry Smoothie!
500 grams of fresh or frozen strawberries in a bowl. Add two tablespoons of natural yoghurt and a handful of ice cubes; To taste with honey or sweet sweetener. Mix thoroughly with the Pourierstab and spread over glasses. If the smoothie is too firm, dilute with cold mineral water.
5) Fresh Lemon Lemonade!
Press three whole lemons and put the juice into a large container. Season with honey, sweetener or brown sugar and fill with one litre of cold mineral water. Add ginger to taste – but please use only small pieces, as ginger is delightful!
6) Carrot and Orange Mocktail!
Two oranges and one small grapefruit. Add 200 ml of carrot juice and 4 tbsp. Add some rapeseed oil and mix thoroughly with a blender in a big container. If the carrot flavour is too dominant, a banana can also be added. If the consistency is too high, dilute with cold mineral water.
7) Red Apple Juice!
Cut two large sweet apples and a small red cabbage into coarse pieces (core apples). Place both in a juicer and spread on glasses. Mix with little vinegar and ice cubes and consume cold.
8) Children's Mojito!
Cut juicy limes into two pieces (before hot wash off) and put into a glass with three tsp. Of brown sugar. Use a mortar to beat the limes and the sugar and spread it over two tall glasses. Fill with crushed ice cubes and pour the glass to the rim with ginger.
9) Lemongrass Ice Tea Mix!
Some stems of lemongrass with boiling water and let it pass through. Allow to cool, season with lemon juice, honey or sweetener and spread with ice cubes in glasses.
10) Sunbeams Shake! (Mother's Recipe)
This recipe is meant for a larger amount of juice: eight carrots, three apples and three sticks of celery peel and cut into rough pieces. Together with half a bunch of parsley in a juice press and catch the juice. Pour two tsp of barley grass juice powder and serve with ice cubes.

Regardless of how many posts you read in our trading tips section, the overriding theme is consistency.
- Consistency with method
- Consistency with trade plans
- Consistency with risk and money management
It's the consistency when trading an actual edge in the market that will lead to success over time. It won't be a straight line to success however an up sloping equity curve with the occasional valley is the reality.
If you believe in the power of numbers – and you should – you should be aware that you will have a string of losing trades that will drive your equity curve lower.
You can see that regardless of win rate, you have the potential of a losing streak that is going to test you. It may even force you to move on to a different trading system which will severely hamper your chance of ever finding success in your trading.
Don't do it.
Moving on to another trading strategy during a losing streak will have you miss the streak when your edge begins to deliver the winning trades.
Wednesday Consistency With Crude Oil
A great example of consistency is our trading of the crude oil inventory release that occurs on Wednesdays. Like clockwork, we are consistent with our trade plan for this event and over time, our results have been something we and our Inner Circle group of traders, are very proud of.
The designer of the trading strategy we use to trade crude oil (Counter Punch Trader) actually calls it "license to print money". Of course T.J. is kidding but he says that because he can't remember the last losing crude oil inventory release trade.
- We wait 2 minutes after the inventory numbers are released
- Our trading plan allows us to get "in sync" with a current trade depending on certain variables (learn in our free trade room trial)
- We use a POQ (Power of Quitting) approach of one and done
Here is a live recording taken from the trading room that you can join at Netpicks and take the free trial. There are a few things that you may want to pay attention to:
- Even when the market starts to move (only slightly this session), watch how Troy brings up the clock and says we have to wait
- During the trade, price starts to plot sideways and though it would be tempting to snatch small profits, the traders in the room sit on their hands
- Once the trade is complete (it's a winning trade), you will hear "one and done" which means trading the reaction to the news, delayed by 2 minutes, is finished
Also note that we are taking this trade with a dynamic quick hit mindset.
Using the trading strategy, we allow price to dictate the extent of our profit targets and stops which will change depending on the reaction to the crude oil numbers. A bigger reaction will give us bigger targets.
The reason consistency to our approach is vital is many traders will not be satisfied with 13 ticks in this case, will be greedy, ignore the state of the market, and begin to over trade giving back their previous wins.
Live In The Markets Reality
Remember, we use a dynamic profit target approach which uses the current measurable volatility in the market. Yes, we would all love large sweeping price moves but we trade in the markets universe and reality – not what we wish it was.
We trade in reality and let the volatility of the market dictate what we do.
I've read some comments when the trade profiles are smaller and people will complain that "it's not enough" as if we or they can dictate to the market. The truth is that the mentality of "it's not enough" and then going for more when the market tips its hand to smaller price ranges, is a recipe for disaster.
Be consistent and don't try to impose your will on the market. You are going to lose every single time.

Unless there are Court orders in place, both parents continue to have parental responsibility for their children after separation. This means that there is an obligation on both parents to consult with one another and to attempt to reach agreement about arrangements for their children.

If wanderlust has a soundtrack, singer-songwriter-traveler Mike Mentz has spent the last 10 years writing it.
From living in Paris playing guitar on the banks of the Seine to years of international touring through the Caribbean, Baltic, Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, and all over Western Europe, Mike has gotten a good jump on globetrotting. Having performed in over 30 countries, his "travelpop" sound and lyrics are shaped by the always changing world around him.
"Perspective is priceless", says the songwriter. "Travel opens your eyes. When you watch the sun rise from somewhere new, your world gets a little bit bigger. I love that."
After growing up in Chicago, Mike's home base has been anything but permanent, having spent the majority of his time traveling. He moved to Nashville in 2011.
Named "One To Watch" by the Nashville Songwriters Association International, Mentz is frequently hosted as a featured songwriter at Nashville's legendary Bluebird Cafe. "Living in Nashville for a few years was like a de facto Master's degree in songwriting", he explains. "At writer's rounds, I heard at least a song a night that would give me chills. Being around that kind of talent, you either throw in the towel or try like hell to keep up."
In 2014, Mentz left Nashville to travel full-time.
His latest album, entitled Souvenir, features songs Mike has written almost entirely in transit -- from the streets and cafés and airport bars of Paris, San Juan, Dublin, Barcelona, London, Tallinn, Istanbul, Chicago, Nashville, and a cruise ship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
Industry ears have taken notice: Souvenir (slotted for release in 2019) has already been nominated for Adult Contemporary Album Of The Year by the Independent Music Awards, and Mentz's music has been played on Sirius XM Radio.
After recording Souvenir in a pristine Nashville studio, Mike decided to take the tunes halfway around the world. "I wanted to get them dirty", Mentz explains. "I couldn't be more excited about the studio sound we got in Nashville, but I wrote these songs out on the road...I wanted to record them out there, too." Along with a camera crew and a few friends, Mike traveled to Thailand to record live, acoustic versions of the songs. He returned with a vibrant suite of music videos and documentary episodes, and a companion album simply titled Live In Thailand (also slotted for release in 2019).
This spring, Mike will be appearing on brand-new national television songwriting competition "The Song".
With a lot more to see, Mike is focused on connecting with fans all over the world and taking his tunes to cities both foreign and familiar.

We've heard that giving our dogs probiotics can be good for their digestive health, but what about digestive enzymes for dogs?
What are digestive enzymes for dogs?
Enzymes are active proteins that help aid in different aspects of metabolism in the dog's body. Each type of enzyme has a specific job, depending on where it is located.
What do "digestive enzymes" do?
Digestive enzymes are produced by the dog's pancreas and are present in the upper portion of your dog's gastrointestinal tract [1]. These enzymes aid in the digestion of many types of foodstuffs that your canine consumes.
Which enzymes are included in enzyme supplements for dogs?
Typically, these digestive supplements for dogs include [7]:
- Cellulase = cellulose digestion
- Amylase = starch digestion
- Lipase = fat and triglyceride digestion
- Protease = protein digestion
Many dog supplements are combinations of probiotics, prebiotics and digestive enzymes.
Does my dog need a digestive enzyme supplement?
Chances are, your dog does not need a digestive enzyme supplement. Some veterinarians think that healthy dogs with no digestive problems don't need them. Similarly to giving a dog vitamins, buying digestive enzymes for dogs won't hurt, but it may be a waste of money.
However, dogs with the following health problems may benefit from a daily digestive enzyme supplement [1, 4]:
- Diarrhea
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease
- Pancreatitis
- Flatulence (gas)
- Dental disease
- "Sensitive stomach"
- Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI)
- Weight loss
- Coprophagia (eating feces)
My dog has chronic pancreatitis, could digestive enzymes help?
Dog pancreatitis is a common condition in canines. Some dogs, such as Miniature Schnauzers and Yorkshire Terriers, are more predisposed to developing pancreatitis compared to other dog breeds.
This condition in dogs can be caused by unknown factors or secondary to a fatty meal [12, 13, 14].
Common signs include vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, lethargy, abdominal discomfort and dehydration. Many dogs need hospitalization to treat canine pancreatitis.
The word pancreatitis means inflammation of the pancreas. When the pancreas is inflamed, damage can be done to the cells that make digestive enzymes.
Digestive enzymes "escape" and basically "auto-digest" the pancreas. Dogs with chronic pancreatitis can end up with permanent damage. Scar tissue can lead to a secondary exocrine pancreatitis insufficiency and rarely, diabetes mellitus.
Some veterinarians think it can be helpful to give dogs with pancreatitis digestive enzyme supplements, but there is little evidence to support that theory. The thought is that if the digestive enzymes for dogs are given, that this will help to "rest" the pancreas. In humans, supplementation may help reduce the amount of enzymes in the pancreas being produced, thus decreasing the "auto-digestion" classically seen in pancreatitis [10].
Can pancreatitis be prevented by feeding digestive enzymes?
Not really. Feeding a low-fat diet high in antioxidants and but also carrying a sufficient amount of Omega-3s fatty acids can reduce occurrences in individuals that are prone to pancreatitis [11].
What is EPI and what causes it?
"Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is a digestive disorder resulting from the insufficient secretion of enzymes from the pancreas. In dogs, this condition is often attributed to pancreatic acinar atrophy, wherein the enzyme-producing acinar cells are believed to be destroyed through an autoimmune process." [9]
Dogs with EPI cannot make enough digestive enzymes on their own, due to damage to the pancreas.
Digestive enzyme supplementation is a major therapy for dogs with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.
My dog has diabetes. Will digestive enzymes help him?
It possible. However, there is no solid evidence that digestive enzymes for dogs with diabetes will help improve their digestion. Sometimes dogs with diabetes have low-level pancreatitis and digestive enzyme supplementation may be helpful [12].
My dog is healthy and doesn't have any of these problems. Will digestive enzymes help keep him healthy?
Some veterinarians think that giving your dog digestive enzymes won't do much good unless you are treating a specific problem, such as EPI.
Even if your dog suffers from "tummy troubles" from time to time, dog digestive enzymes may help to improve digestion.
How soon will I see results?
In dogs with EPI, some have improvement in stool quality in as little as 3 days after being fed an appropriate dose of digestive enzymes [1].
Owners can then decrease the amount of digestive enzymes given once a significant improvement has been seen. Many patients with EPI are maintained on the lowest beneficial dose of enzymes [8].
You may see the best results when the enzyme powder is mixed with the dog's food immediately before feeding.
Keep in mind that every dog is different, so results may vary.
Variation has been reported regarding efficacy of digestive enzyme products from batch to batch. If you start your dog on a new batch or brand of dog enzyme supplement, and notice that his digestive problems worsen, it may be necessary to increase the dose temporarily [8].
Which enzyme supplement is right for my dog?
Always consult with your veterinarian before selecting a nutritional dog supplement such as digestive enzymes.
Powdered digestive enzymes are the most effective, compared to capsules and tablets [5]. Select a non-enteric-coated pancreatic extract [1].
Some dog supplements contain probiotics, prebiotics and digestive enzymes, such as Rx Zyme (Rx Vitamins™ for Pets). Other similar supplements will have more ingredients, often to do with dog's joint health and fighting dog arthritis.
How much should I give my dog?
If your dog suffers from digestive problems, such as EPI, feed 1 teaspoon of powdered digestive enzymes per 10 kg body weight with a meal [8].
Speak to your veterinarian about how much is right for your pet, as some may require more or less, depending on their particular health issue.
I feed my dog a raw diet, should I supplement digestive enzymes?
Raw food advocates encourage the feeding of raw porcine or bovine pancreas as a part of a balanced raw diet.
However, there is a difference in therapeutic effect between feeding powdered pancreatic enzymes vs. raw pancreas [4].
There is a small risk of transmission of Aujeszky's Disease (also known as pseudorabies) from raw pork pancreas and Echinococcus from the pancreas of raw game [8].
Raw meats and organs should always be fed with caution to dogs with health issues, as food poisoning from E. coli or Salmonella could be life-threatening [1].
Are there any reasons why my dog shouldn't take digestive enzymes?
If your dog suffers from food allergies and gastrointestinal problems, it is best to check the source of the enzymes and ingredients in each supplement. Most dog supplements contain enzymes of porcine (pork) origin or egg [4].
Are there any side effects to feeding digestive enzymes?
Oral ulceration and bleeding has been reported in dogs taking digestive enzyme supplements [5, 6]. Wetting down or moistening the food/enzyme mixture seems to improve or prevent this side effect [8].
One negative side effect of a low-fat diet is the possibility of loss of fat-soluble vitamins, such as Vitamin A, and the loss of essential fatty acids [8].
The bottom line
Digestive enzymes can help improve canine digestion.
Chances are, your dog won't benefit from digestive enzyme supplementation unless he has a specific problem.
Talk to your dog's veterinarian to determine if digestive enzymes are worth the investment.
Want more general information on digestive enzymes for dogs? Keep reading.
For owners of dogs with EPI
Most dogs improve considerably after starting digestive enzyme supplements. However, there are some that do not respond as well. This can often be due to that particular dog's inability to digest the fat in their diet. Even though the digestive enzyme supplement contains lipase, in certain dogs, their stomach pH is too high. This high pH inactivates the lipase that is in the supplement. Some of these dogs see an improvement after starting on a low-fat diet. Using antacids, such as omeprazole, can lower the stomach's pH to the point where the lipase is useful once again.
Certain types of fiber can also impair the digestive enzyme's ability to function. In such cases a diet low in non-fermentable (insoluble) fiber should be fed [8].
So what exactly happens during pancreatitis?
Scientists and veterinarians do not fully understand the entire etiology of pancreatitis. However, this is what we do know:
[toggle title="References"]
"The major digestive enzymes exist in pancreatic acinar cells in inactive forms called zymogens. Packaging inactive enzymes into zymogens helps to prevent premature activation before they are released into the duodenum where they are activated. Enzyme inhibitors also exist within the pancreas (e.g. alpha-antitrypsin) as well as in circulating plasma (e.g. alpha-macroglobulins, antichymotrypsin, alpha-antrypsin).
Once zymogens are released into the intestinal lumen, they undergo peptide cleavage (breakdown) by enterokinase secreted by the duodenal mucosal cells; this activates the enzymes allowing them to begin breaking down nutrients as they were meant to do.
If the inhibiting substances are blocked or if the enzymes are activated while they are still in the pancreas, the pancreas inappropriately begins to digest itself and signs of pancreatitis occur. For example, the conversion of trypsinogen (inactive) to its active form, trypsin, can be triggered by enterokinase, bile, lysosomal enzymes or other stimuli.
The result is disruption of pancreatic membranes, arteriolar dilation, increased vascular permeability, edema, and hemorrhage. Pain, leukocytic infiltration and peripancreatic fat necrosis are consequences. Arterial hypotension with portal venous pooling and hypovolemia may lead to shock. Compounding the damage are peripheral venoconstriction and leakage of pancreatic enzymes into the abdominal cavity and vascular compartment.
Regional tissue invasion and destruction caused by release of pancreatic enzymes can be extensive. Possible end results include damage to liver, kidneys (renal failure), lungs, heart and abdominal lymphatics (chylous abdominal effusion can develop). Pancreatitis can cause biliary tract obstruction." [11]

Pathogenicity of Some Fusarium species associated with superficial blemishes of potato tubersRukaia M. Gashgari, Youssuf Gherbawy
Pol J Microbiol
2013; 62 (1):
Article type: Original article
IC™ Value: 10.00
|Abstract provided by Publisher
As an organ for reserve and propagation, the tuber grows underground and is in contact with soil-borne microorganisms, making it potentially exposed to blemishes. The knowledge about the pathogens is needed to set up efficient control strategies and to help potato growers to better know the causes of these blemishes and find technical solutions for improving the potato quality. Therefore, the objective of this study was the possibility of using some modern methods of molecular diagnostics and detection of the presence of fungal contaminants in potato blemishes in Al-Qasim (Saudi Arabia). Polygonal lesions was the most observed blemish type in the collected samples. One hundred and sixty isolates were collected from different types of blemishes recorded in this study. Fusarium , Penicillium, Ilyonectria, Alternaria and Rhizoctonia were the most common genera collected from different blemish types. Using ITS region sequencing all collected fungi identified at the species level. All Fusarium strains collected during this study were used to detect their pathogenicity against potato tubers. This is the first comprehensive report on identified of major pathogenic fungi isolated from potato tuber blemishes in Saudi Arabia.

People who have their Certificates in infection control have seen many major breakthroughs and developments in the last decade. Though most people have heard about diseases like Ebola, MERS, SARS and other infectious types of bacteria but the latest research on infection control is available as information in Dubai for the mass audiences through the ministries. Those who have completed their certification in infection control through top universities in UAE have been working very hard to improve our chances against infectious diseases.
America has recently strengthened their virus containment networks after worldwide outbreaks:
After the Ebola scare and outbreak in West Africa, there were some very real concerns about possible contamination in the U.S. This led to the American government in naming a series of Ebola treatment centers across the country to prevent any outbreaks. Those who have been certified in infection control were quick to prepare for a possible outbreak and to accept patients who tested positively for the Ebola virus or any other number of highly infectious and dangerous diseases, within at least eight hours of notification.
Vaccine development has been spurred by global outbreaks:
Recently, an experimental MERS vaccine has shown promising signs in the animal studies stage, which has led researchers to believe a similar kind of method might work to protect people against the disease eventually in the years to come. The recent scares in other countries have rallied researchers to work their best to find cures.
Institutes in Dubai have recently begun to use UV lighting more frequently which helps keep germs at bay:
UV lighting actually will destroy the bacteria responsible for Staphylococcus infections, Clostridium difficile infections, and many other types of infections within a matter of 10 minutes with the proper use of the technology. This even reaches to bacteria known to resist treatment through antibiotics.
The key to preventing infection may be to target bacteria in the gut:
Recent studies show probiotics could be a good way to restore natural and good bacteria to the body after a traumatic injury. This will reduce the risk of sepsis and also help the body to achieve a healthy balance. The bacteria in the gut also plays a big part in whether a person will develop a UTI or other infections as well.
New tools for better diagnostics on infections:
Recently, there was a new diagnostic test for pneumonia developed by some U.K. researchers. This particular test would be able to tell whether a patient is infected with just a sample of their breath. There are also a few other new diagnostic tools that have been developed that could truly help with the diagnostic processes.

Fifty Rounds —Alejandro Escudé
It's like that at the shooting range.
Silent. The sound of your own hard breathing.
Make no mistake about it, you are scared.
Of what? People with guns. Regular people.
You're scared of yourself, your own gun.
There's a paper human five meters away.
You hit it dead on. The head has a hole in it.
Now the heart. The heart. The heart.
You surround the heart with emptiness.
You like the click of the magazine.
You practice shooting after closing the slide,
you practice shooting after cocking the slide.
Everything works. The gun is beautiful in your hands
because a gun listens, a gun obeys.

Suit Says Gang of White Pomona Cops Unlawfully Stopped & Attacked 3 Latino Brothers On their Way to Work/
From [HERE] Just 24 hours after three Pomona Police Department officers were indicted by the FBI for excessive force in a 2015 incident, NBC4 has learned of three more alleged victims who filed a civil lawsuit against the department and three individual officers -- one of whom was involved in the first lawsuit.
Three brothers who used to live in the area alleged they were beaten without warning by the officers in October 2015, just one month after the alleged beating of a 16-year-old at the Los Angeles County Fair.
The lawsuit, which was filed on Oct. 4, states the officers and department violated the brothers' civil rights and that the officers approached their vehicle as the trio was getting ready for work. One of the brothers stepped out of the vehicle to speak with an officer, which allegedly prompted the official to draw his gun. Another brother, who was in the vehicle, was allegedly dragged out of the car by an officer afterwards. The last brother ran outside their apartment to ask what the police were doing and was then reportedly beaten by one of the officers.
"I felt someone had rushed me through the back," Jose Pelayo said. "I got hit in the side of the head and I blacked out."
According to the lawsuit, the officers allegedly fabricated actions in the report following the encounter and failed to document one of the brothers' complaints.
The complaint states the alleged victims suffered wage loss and "significant mental trauma." It cites the incident as reason for the brothers' relocation.
"I just remember asking myself what it is that I did wrong or why it is that I was going through all this," Pelayo said.
The Pomona Police Department was officially served with the complaint on Oct. 19, 2017, according to the alleged victims' attorney. The department has 21 days after being served to respond.

Wow… You guys need to see this.
A YouTuber by the name of The Sleepy Skunk has just put out his latest mash-up, cobbling together clips from literally hundreds of movie trailers that came out this year. I haven't taken the time to confirm, but this video takes probably has a clip from every studio release of 2014! Take a look!
See what I mean?! If there's a movie from this year that you loved, it's probably in here. If there's a movie from this year that you hated, it's probably in here, too. Either way, this is one of those things that makes me take a step back and think about the big picture.
Because, no matter what you enjoyed or despised this year, this compilation shows me just how far we've come in filmmaking. And the fact that we, the audience, get to observe and celebrate this powerful art form at it's strongest point yet is pretty incredible. So whether you've seen one movie this year, or too many to count, stand tall and stand proud. We're moviegoers and this is our time!

I went to the beach alone this evening for a hot minute. I've spent more hours than not with our little babe lately so after a chunk of writing time today, Phil took Syd to the pool and I had glorious alone time.
I took the Kindle to the beach and nestled into the shade of an umbrella knowing that a mango margarita was inevitable but pretending like I wasn't going to order one. Thunder rumbled in the mountains behind and the surf pounded the beach - so hard the ground shook. It was a wonderful respite from the heat and the mommy-dums of having a toddler. Just as the book got its hooks in and the spray from the ocean started to cool me down, this little bitchy voice started yelling complaints.
It was classic teenage angst with a British or Australian accent. The nasty jabs were so loud and inappropriate I turned and looked. The dark-haired big mouth had steam coming out of her ears. Her siblings were cowering. I looked away after realizing I was staring at her, aghast.
I moved. Close enough that I could order my margarita but far enough that the girls voice wouldn't cause a ringing in my ears. My hour of alone time proceeded pleasantly. The margarita was delicious. The book is good. I got up to leave just as the girl was headed out with her two siblings in tow. It was a coincidence, I swear. I didn't even realize it was happening until I heard her nip at siblings.
We crossed paths. Without slowing down but absolutely lowering my sunglasses so she could see my eyes, I said to the girl, "Just because you're miserable, doesn't mean you have to make everyone around you miserable".
She gave me a nasty teenaged nod. I know her parents were out of earshot and her siblings didn't hear either. But she did.
I don't pretend to be the politeness police. I've received MANY dirty looks from women in town because of how publicly naked I allow Sydney to be. I know my parenting techniques aren't always up to what the people around me think they should be. I'm okay with that. I certainly don't think that this girls parents were failing. They were letting her be an asshole. Fine. Whatever. It's their vacation. It's their family. She's their asshole.
It was my hour of serenity. My book is about gangsters. Maybe the combination stirred up the gumption to say something to the girl. Maybe she'll be nicer to her parents tomorrow. Maybe she'll be on the lookout with a baseball bat and enact her own politeness police on me. Maybe Sydney will grow up and spit venom at me akin to what this girl did today. Maybe. But probably not.

The value of columnists' stock recommendations: an event study approach
- 426 Downloads
- Citations
This study examines the value of stock recommendations made by columnists in three leading business magazines; Business Week, Forbes, and Fortune during the period 2000–2003. Empirical results suggest that the anomalous returns documented in prior studies on columnists are sample specific and are not representative of columnist recommendations in general. We also investigate whether columnists' timing, content and style affect the market reaction to recommendations. We find that recommendations that contain references to management or provide merger & acquisition related rumor trigger significantly greater market reactions. Finally, our long-term performance analysis of columnist recommendations suggests that investors following columnists' advice during the 2000–2003 period would not have consistently earned abnormal returns controlling for market risk, book-to-market, size, and momentum effects.

This essay offers a re-interpretation of the Dreams central religious allusion, the echo of 1 Corinthians 2.9-10 in Bottoms vision speech. It is argued that the speechs signification must be understood as contextualized by the utilization made of holy reference throughout the Dream. To this end the text highlights a number of religious allusions (some previously unremarked), and demonstrates the nature of these appropriations as offering dislocation to the references sacred indication.
Bottoms speech itself is approached via Stuart Sillars suggestion that the lines indicate a possible allusion to Chaloners translation of Erasmuss Moriæ Encomium. I show how a more expanded understanding of the relationship between these two texts would work to elaborate the Dreams thematic concern with the elevation of the ignorant and the inversion of authority. More significantly, I suggest that these allusions work to transpose the appropriated vision of mystical revelation into that of a vision realized through the aesthetic processes of a theatre of dissimulation.

my uninformed thoughts on the illegal immigration issue
When I look at all the current controversies over "Dreamers," DACA, President Trump's wall and so forth, I actually see two different debates. The first is a fairly conventional left-right controversy over whether the US should be willing to spread its good fortune broadly to those who were not born here, or whether the country should take care of its own first. The second argument, which I find more interesting, seems to me more of a clash between temperaments or philosophical styles. It concerns the nature of crime and punishment. Those who have more of an essentialist, formal way of looking at things will say, "Undocumented immigrants broke the law and should not be rewarded for this by being allowed to stay in the country." The more practical-minded will note that, in many cases, these same lawbreakers have been here for a long time, made a life for themselves and added something to our national economy. It would be both cruel and pointless, this argument goes, to kick them out of the country.
The latter argument, it seems to me, can only exist because of the unique nature of illegal border-crossing. We do not have this debate over bank robbery. No one argues that the bank robber who has become a good citizen should not be punished for her crime. On the other hand, though, if this criminal can elude capture for five years, she is in the clear (from federal prosecution, at least). This is because the federal statute of limitations for bank robbery is five years.
But illegal immigration is different. First of all, there is no statute of limitations on illegal border crossing. Secondly, though, the undocumented immigrant commits another crime every day that he wakes up in the US. This one is called "unlawful presence." It it illegal to be in the United States without some sort of recognized legal status: that of citizen, tourist, student, etc. If this law did not exist, then there would be no way to deport those who had entered the country legally, but then stayed longer than they were allowed. (More undocumented immigrants in the US have overstayed their visas than crossed the border illegally.) So someone who might have snuck across the border twenty years ago is still committing a crime at this very second by merely being in the country.
These facts tend to upend the normal moral categories that usually bear some loose relationship to our laws. I understand why it is necessary to make unlawful presence illegal. But once we make it a crime just to be here, those with the more formal temperament are being perfectly reasonable when they ask, "Why should we let someone off the hook who committed a crime this very day?" Again, if we captured the bank robber the day after she robbed the bank, we would not refuse to send her to jail because she had a family or had given some of the stolen money to local charities.
This is a fair point. But the more pragmatically-minded person surely also captures a widely-shared moral intuition by pointing out that by deporting someone we would often be creating more harm than good in order to address a crime that realistically, if not legally, might have happened years or even decades in the past.
I am very far from being an expert in immigration law. But it seems to me that much of the basis for the philosophical disagreement would disappear if we were to institute a statute of limitations for illegal entry and illegal presence. This would mean that the date in which a person arrived in the US would be very important, and it seems both fair and practical to place the burden of proving that date on the immigrant himself. And the statute of limitations for unlawful presence would make little sense unless it began on the earliest date that this immigrant can establish himself as being in the United States.
This policy would mean that illegal immigrants and visa overstayers would live in the shadows for a period of time, playing cat and mouse with the authorities and hoping not to be caught. That kind of sucks for them, but they are breaking a fairly serious law. It sucks for bank robbers too. It would also seem reasonable to me that these same authorities could use any means at their disposal to catch and deport those people. They would be recent immigrants, unlikely to have established the social and economic ties that so vex the pragmatically-minded among us. So these recent illegal immigrants would not be able to avail themselves of social services and what-not without the risk of being caught and deported. This part would satisfy, I would think, those with the more formal cast of mind: these people broke the law and will be punished if they are caught.
But it also means that once an illegal immigrant had been in the US past the time of the statute of limitations, it would be incumbent upon the United States to supply such a person with a path to legal status. (On the day that the state of limitations expired, that person would have no legal status at all: not illegal, but not legal until given some new status. I recognize that this is a problem with the proposal, but I'm sure that could be worked out.) It would basically mean that if a person could go a certain number of years without being caught, then he/she could then live without fear in the United States. This arrangement, I would think, would satisfy those who recognize the futility of deporting longtime US residents. Thus I would think that it could satisfy both the formally- and the pragmatically-inclined tempers of mind.
It would also mean that we could have a permanent solution to this problem. Instead of debating every couple of decades what to do about the large number of undocumented people that have accumulated over the years, we would have a policy in place that would not need to be renegotiated.
As I said, I do not claim to know anything about immigration law. For all I know, there are other factors that make this plan unworkable. Or maybe it's an obvious solution that others have already championed. But it makes sense to me and I would be curious to see what others think about it.
