Mobile devices open up chances to boost companies' development, by allowing
customers, suppliers and staff to interact in the business from everywhere, all the time. In Huenei we accompany our Customer in the definition of mobile solutions that are aligned with the business, and have the most appropriate functionalities to add differential value.
Chat Services
Immediacy for the resolution of consultations has become one of the Customers' most valued factors these days. On line support and assistance chat services, as channels of instantaneous communication, allow providing a better service at the same time of building personalized links with Customers, adding as well, automatic
localization and social networking.
The in-depth knowledge and understanding of the needs, preferences, and customs of Customers and users are the starting kick to get ahead of problems and to enhance processes, use experiences and solutions. Surveys in mobile platforms allow making personalized field studies in different sale points, togather offline information, to synchronize the upload, and to share online results in a flexible and straightforward way.
The versatility of mobile settings makes it possible to count out with interactive catalogs, which go far beyond the concepts of showing and describing. The applications allow gathering the whole set of information of products and services arranged by categories, keeping inventories updated in real time and, by the complementation with geolocation tools, booking and purchasing at the most suitable branches.
Car Insurance
In sectors and industries where mobility is part of the business core, the presence of mobile settings must complement strategically the customer service. In order to provide a thorough framework of safety, applications for car insurance allow to report incidents on line and, count out with geolocation of hospitals, police and fire department close to the given location, including direct access to contact them.
In a global market, the concept of closeness becomes a business high value differential, since it brings the user the possibility to interact with the points of interest closer to his/her current or future location. Among the many implementation alternatives, the concept of geosocialization is included. In it, information is shared in order to make data transmission and decision making easier and in real time, through social networks, in user communities defined by affinity of interests, and also by means of the more regular functions that combine GPS, telephone and assistance.
Financial Information
Financial information complexity poses a challenge by the time of deciding how to show it to the user, in such a way for it to be clear, complete and useful, and at the proper time. Not only should applications provide market information in real time, besides of news and personalized indexes, but also should be adapted to different types of users, ranging from portfolio managers and financial advisors, to both expert and inexperienced investors.
Immediate identification of B2C strategic opportunities in mobiles technologies and a drastic reduction of the time-to-market
Availability of functionalities adaptable to the business, which offer the best price-quality relationship.
Quick implementation of applications that increase the direct interaction with key users of the business, such as Customers and/or employees.

Keira Knightley vs. Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan and Keira Knightley will battle for the lead role in 'Wuthering Heights'.
The actresses are both vying to play romantic heroine Catherine Earnshaw in the big screen version of Emily Bronte's classic 1847 novel.
Director John Maybury said: "I certainly wouldn't count Keira out but it's whether or not she wants to get back into period costume, because she's been in a few period dramas. I don't count Lindsay Lohan out either. I really believe in the girl and she's coming out from the other side of her well documented problems - she just needs to be treated seriously."
I'm Team Lindsay for this. We've seen Keira play the SAME role a million times, it's time for her to do something a bit more modern. As for Lindsay Lohan, it'll be nice to see her doing ANYTHING because the girl needs work! Read more!

50 Cent Makes Paris Hilton Cry
It's her party and she'll cry if she wants to.
During his performance at the Paris Hilton-hosted pre-Super Bowl party for 944 magazine last night, 50 Cent gave a shout out to Paris, who then started singing in the front row.
Paris and 50 are good friends.
When the princess decided to get onstage and dance, the hip-hopper's crew and stagehands quickly instructed her to "Get the f**k off the stage." She started to cry and tried to plead with the party's production staff to let her dance, whining, "But it's my party!"
Her entourage swarmed the fotogs so they couldn't document the embarrassing belittlement but PageSix.com was there.
For the record Paris and 50 are still good friends.

Publisher: Gizmo Dorks
Gizmo Dorks ABS filament now comes in a smaller version on a 200 gram spool, the perfect size for sampling or testing the superior quality. Gizmo Dorks ABS filament is made of top notch pure ABS resin. Our ABS resins are of the highest quality and produced with the utmost purity. ABS, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, is a favorite filament among 3D printer users because it is light weight and durable. It can be injection molded which makes it perfect for 3D printing extruders. It has a high glass transition temperature to reduce deformation, but it is also low enough to be safely attainable with standard 3D printers. ABS is a hard strong plastic with some flexibility when compared to PLA. It is also soluble in Acetone, and it can be easily sanded and machined.
ABS is one of the most widely used plastics in 3D printing and for good reason. It is a strong plastic that has a decent amount of flex. The filament extrudes easily and smoothly with very little stringing or oozing. ABS does cool and shrink after extrusion, so it must be printed on a heated bed and preferably within an enclosed-case.

Exactly what is Ketosis?
Ketosis Forces your body to get its energy by burning fat instead of carbohydrates.
When you've reached a state of Ketosis, your body begins immediately burning fat for its energy instead of carbs.
Carbohydrates are not the ideal energy source for your body, so until we reach a state of ketosis, we are generally left feeling exhausted, under tension and low-energy by the end of each day.
Fat Is the body's optimal energy source. So when your body reaches ketosis you'll discover your energy increases, and you'll feel more concentrated than ever before, even late into the day.
Keto Reset Diet
Why aren't more individuals in a state of Ketosis?
The common western world diet plan today has the tendency to include enormous quantities of carbohydrates. Moreover, for several years consumers have been requiring low fat and fat totally free versions of foods.
Through our diets, our bodies have been conditioned to burn carbohydrates for energy instead of fat. As mentioned previously, this can have major consequences to our feeling of well being.
So just begin consuming more fat and less carbohydrates?
Sadly, it's not always this simple. Considering that your body has been set for several years to keep fat and burn carbs, we generally require some assistance to kick-start the process of ketosis into high gear.
This aid is available in the form of a chemical compound referred to as Beta-hydroxybutyrate (also referred to as BHB). BHB tells your body to start the process of evolving into a ketosis state.
How does my body get BHB?
While your body produces extremely small quantities of BHB, it does not produce huge sufficient amounts to quickly lead to a ketosis state. Therefore many people choose to supplement BHB in their diets. Purefit Keto is a popular and extremely efficient dietary supplement utilized to achieve this,.
What are the benefits of Purefit Keto?
Purefit Keto will assist you to reach a state of ketosis much quicker than would be possible by diet alone. It'll assist you to get slim, improve your energy level, enhance your mood, and feel healthy and confident again.
Keto Reset Diet
Who is Purefit Keto for?
Purefit Keto is perfect for both men and women that want to reach a state of ketosis quicker, feel much better and look much better.
Is Purefit Keto Safe?
Purefit Keto includes an unique blend of active ingredients. Purefit Keto is both safe and practical. It provides a simple and safe way to reach a state of ketosis without suffering the unfavorable negative effects of a normal ketogenic diet.
Can I eat whatever I desire while taking Purefit Keto?
Once you are in a state of nutritional ketosis, staying in ketosis is as easy as keeping a keto-friendly diet, a lot of exercise, and enjoying all the advantages Purefit KETO needs to use.
For finest outcomes, you'll want to consume a diet plan that consists generally of fat, with moderate protein consumption and a percentage of carbs. It's advised to aim to take in a diet of 70% fat, 25% protein, and 5% carbohydrates while taking the supplement.

Basement level, 227 Collins St, Wales Corner, Melbourne, VIC 3000. Ph: +61 3 9663 4533
So many of my childhood memories are seared by the Australian summer. The long hot stretch of holidays meant freedom. Every year, we'd visit my cousins in Leitchville – a town of
400-odd people, one pub, a public pool, a fish'n'chip shop and no street numbers – in northern Victoria.
The land out there is flat and cracked and the colour of straw, the horizon a shimmering blur. You can dig up the melting tar with sticks, burn your bum on the slide in the park. The sun was so blistering, you'd feel the freckles forming on your face as you'd scream through the front-yard sprinkler or swim in the channel. We'd go yabbying by day, chase frogs around town at night. One year, Dad made us wade through Kow Swamp on a quest to find the remnants (perhaps aliens) from a giant fireball we'd witness fall out of that huge, open sky the night before.
We'd live on icy poles, watermelon and sandwiches made with the "plastic cheese" from the now defunct Kraft factory at the end of the street. It closed in 2010, and I feared the town would disappear. But it hasn't. Young families have arrived in town, doing up old houses.
As Dr Merrilee Moss writes ('CreekChange', p18), this part of country has also attracted retirees: city-dwellers like herself escaping oppressive real-estate prices in the suburbs and setting up home among the gum trees.
In this edition, we also celebrate Australia's favourite bush-dweller: the koala. With new land-clearing laws threatening their territory and numbers, Rhianna Boyle ('How Much Can A Koala Bear?', p14) goes behind the battlelines in the fight to protect our koalas. And, for a bit of holiday fun, you can get your craft on, and fold your own koalas thanks to our koala-gami designs (p17).

The foundation has made several donations to Dominica including a presentation of items to the Princess Margaret Hospital.

Winners and Sinners (Chinese: 奇謀妙計五福星; pinyin: Qí móu miāo jǐ wŭ fú xīng, aka 5 Lucky Stars) is a 1983 Hong Kong comedy film written and directed by Sammo Hung, and starring Hung, Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao. It was the first in the Lucky Stars series of films a highly successful series in Hong Kong.
The film co-stars Jackie Chan in a significant role as an error-prone police officer. It also features a cameo appearance from Yuen Biao as another police officer who gets into a fight with Chan's character.
The film is a semi-prequel to My Lucky Stars and Twinkle, Twinkle Lucky Stars, insofar as the "Five Lucky Stars" concept and many of the same actors return in those latter films. However, the character names and indeed their roles differ - Stanley Fung's character is the nominal "leader" of the quintet in Winners and Sinners, whereas Sammo Hung's character takes the mantle in the latter films.

Sammo Hung got the idea for the film from an old TV show, in which a group of police officers from different backgrounds worked together, each displaying their own particular skills. By giving the characters humorous and disparate backgrounds, he hoped to make an entertaining film.[1]
The film's Chinese title, Five Lucky Stars was chosen as it was evocative of the Seven Little Fortunes (aka "The Lucky Seven"). The Seven Little Fortunes was the name of the performance troupe that included Hung, Chan and Yuen, whilst they attended the Peking Opera School, The China Drama Academy, as children.[1]
Five prisoners - Teapot (Sammo Hung), Curly (John Sham), Exhaust Pipe (Richard Ng), Vaseline (Charlie Chan), and Rookie (Stanley Fung) meet in their cell to form a friendship. Rookie assumes the leadership of the group, whilst Teapot is bullied by the others (in the later films, Roundhead, played by Eric Tsang, is the group's victim and Hung's character is the leader). Following their release, they team up with Curly's beautiful sister, Shirley (Cherie Chung), and form a company called the Five Stars Cleaning Co. While most of the group attempt to vie for Shirley's affection, Teapot ultimately forms a relationship with her.
A sixth convict, the wealthy Jack Tar (James Tien), is released on the same day. Upon his release, he commences work on his next criminal project: trading counterfeit US and Hong Kong currency with an American crime boss. Jack sends his chauffeur to do the exchange at a skating competition, but the chauffeur's insecure attitude attracts the attention of two muggers. The muggers steal the briefcase containing the counterfeit US money and take off. Police officer CID 07 (Jackie Chan) attempts to recover the briefcase containing the phony money, but the case accidentely ends up in the Five Stars Cleaning Co. van. CID 07 continues his pursuit of the muggers, which results in a massive freeway pile-up.
Teapot and his friends are unaware of the mishap, and drive away with the case. The chauffeur informs Jack, who orders his men to search for them. Later, Jack hosts a party at his mansion. Teapot and his friends decide to gatecrash, hoping to expand their business with the wealthy guests. They successfully enter the mansion undetected, and while socializing with the other guests, Jack privately meets a Triad boss to discuss a new deal for the counterfeit plates. A bodyguard then realizes the Five Stars Cleaning Co. are there, and alerts Jack, who interrogates Curly. Curly insists he has no knowledge about the case, and the ensuing ruckus causes a physical confrontation between the friends and Jack's bodyguards. The friends narrowly escape, only to be kidnapped by the Triad boss, who secretly wants to cut off the deal with Jack and obtain the plates himself. He orders the friends to give up the case, and holds Shirley hostage. The friends return home and finally discover the case. When they leave to make the dropoff, however, Jack's men arrives. Teapot, Exhaust Pipe, and Vaseline engage them in battle, while Curly leaves to fetch the Triad boss and Rookie goes for help. The Triad boss and his bodyguards arrive, where Jack learns of his motives and turns the fight against him instead. The police arrive, led by Rookie, who reveals himself to be undercover. They arrest Jack and the Triad boss and their men and rewards the friends for their assistance.

Malawi/China Celebrates 10 Years of Diplomatic Relations
Malawi and the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) commemorated 10 years or a decade since the establishment of their diplomatic relations at the Chinese Embassy Chancery on 12th December, 2017 in Lilongwe.
Malawi established diplomatic relations with the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) on 28th December, 2007. Embassies for the two countries were officially opened in Lilongwe and in Beijing, in January, 2008, and March, 2008 respectively.
Within a short span of their diplomatic relations, the two countries have enjoyed flourishing, cordial and mutually beneficial cooperation in various sectors.
As part of the celebrations, a delegation from China which was led by His Excellency Chen Xiaodong, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs paid a courtesy call on President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika and had a working luncheon with Honorable Dr. Emmanuel Fabiano M.P., Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. The Chinese Deputy Minister also handed over 100 motor vehicles to the Malawi Police Service (MPS) and 8 protocol vehicles to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, respectively.
Furthermore, His Excellency Chen Xiadong announced a 301 million RMB grant to the Government of Malawi. 1 million RMB is for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.
In receiving the grant, Honorable Dr. Emmanuel Fabiano M.P., indicated that the grant will help his Ministry carry out protocol activities easily across the country.
On his part, His Excellency Xiadong said China believes that the grant will help in implementing Malawi Government's projects under the Malawi-China Development Cooperation Framework. The 1 million RMB was targeted at enhancing capacity building in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.
Over the 10 years of this relationship, Malawi and China has developed a development cooperation framework under which various projects and programmes financed through grants and concessionary loans by the Government of China have been implemented. In addition, the Government of Malawi has benefitted in human capacity building through short and long term scholarships offered by the Government of China.
In his speech as guest of honor at the commemoration, Honorable Goodall Gondwe Minister of Finance, Economic Planning and development said Malawi is certain that over the next ten years to come, the Malawi- China partnership will reach greater heights and produce mutual benefits for the wellbeing of the people of the two nations.
"Our future looks bright but we will need to cooperate deeply and intensify our interaction across the board in order to consolidate the gains we have made so far. I look forward to such a time that Malawians, who have found China as their primary destination for business, should be in China as investors," Gondwe said.
In his remarks, His Excellency Chen Xiaodong, expressed his Governments firm commitment to cooperate with the Government of Malawi and also promised to intensify trade cooperation and open up economies to each other.
Apart from the 10 years celebration of this great cooperation, this year has been a very important year for Malawi's cooperation with China. The Malawi National Optic Fibre Backbone Programme was launched, an implementation agreement for the construction of five Community Technical Colleges across the country was signed, an international Seminar on the China Africa Cooperation was held, Malawi received a donation of two drones for disaster affairs management; and a significant number of scholarships for short term and long term courses were granted, among others.
In conclusion, the two countries are committed to further broaden areas of cooperation in the years ahead for mutual benefit of their peoples.

He cited Malawi's political and economic stability as enabling and conducive factors for doing business in the country, and added that the establishment of a One-Stop investment service centre has eased the process of establishing business in the country. He therefore encouraged the investors to consider investing in Malawi, as it is among the most desirable investment destinations in the world. An impressive presentation was also made on the available bankable investment and trade opportunities in the country.
The Malawi delegation was later treated to a working lunch at the residence of the Spanish Ambassador in Pretoria, where delegates networked and Investors sought clarification on various investment-related issues. The Spanish Ambassador in Pretoria pledged to support investment endeavours between the Kingdom of Spain and the Republic of Malawi.

Malawi and Scotland Meets Under The Framework Of Joint Permanent Commission Of Cooperation (JPCC), 2nd To 3rd December, 2014
Hon. Dr. George T. Chaponda, MP, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, led the Malawi delegation to the meeting of Malawi-Scotland Joint Permanent Commission of Cooperation (JPCC) that was held from 2nd to 3rd December, 2014, in Edinburgh, Scotland. Hon. Mr. Humza Yousaf, Minister for Europe and International Development, led the Scottish delegation to the meeting.
The objective of the meeting was to review progress achieved since the last JPCC meeting that was held in November, 2012 in Zomba, Malawi, and to discuss project proposals in view of the next round of funding from the Scottish Government covering the period 2015 to 2018.
The main outcomes of the JPCC meeting included:
- Need to focus on a few targeted projects, to ensure visible and lasting impact on the targeted beneficiaries. In line with the Government's priority to develop the export-oriented private sector, the Malawi Government highlighted the need to support cooperatives and Scottish private investment in the country;
- Malawi to consider the list of proposed projects for the 2015-2018 funding cycle, and to submit to Scottish Government for further consideration. To ensure that the projects are in line with Malawi's development priorities as outlined in the Malawi Growth and Development Strategy (MGDS), it was agreed that the Strand Leads (Governance, Health, Education and Sustainable Development) should be involved in the formulation process of the projects; and
- That project monitoring and evaluation should be an integral part of the Scottish Government-supported development Programme.
Hon. Dr. Chaponda took the opportunity of his presence in Scotland, to hold other meetings on the sidelines of the JPCC. These included:
- 1.Courtesy Call on the First Minister of Scotland, Right Hon. Nicola Sturgeon MSP.

In February, 2015, Members of the Scottish Parliament will visit Malawi to engage their counterparts on issues of mutual interest.
The Honourable Minister also appreciated the role Scottish Members of Parliament such as Lord Jack McConnell MSP, and Lord Geatrex MSP, are playing in the House of Lords by calling for the resumption of budgetary support and the revision of the UK Visa application process for Malawians;
- 3.Scottish-Malawi Business and Investment Meeting, where Scottish investors in partnership with Scottish Government, agreed to set up an investment fund to promote Scottish Investments to Malawi;

(WASHINGTON)–On Tuesday, Missourians stood with working families and communities by voting NO on Prop A, repealing the state's "right to work" law. The Ballot Initiative Strategy Center (BISC) is proud to stand with workers and unions in Missouri and support their efforts to defeat this law at the ballot. The law enacted by Missouri lawmakers would take away workplace freedoms-including the ability of workers to organize.
"At BISC we know a strong labor movement is one of the most effective vehicles to move people–black, brown and white–into the middle class," said Chris Melody Fields Figueredo, BISC's Executive Director. "Voters in Missouri demonstrated that they believe workers deserve good paying jobs and their rights should be protected. These so-called 'right to work' laws' are just another way to divert more money to big corporations at the expense of working people."
Fields said the number of progressive ballot measures on the November ballot this year is a sign that citizens want to take charge of issues that will improve their lives. Statistics show that the average worker's pay drops more than 3 percent in a right to work state and 12 of the 15 states with the worst pay gaps between women and men are right to work.
"The people of Missouri have spoken. Creating more jobs, raising the minimum wage, providing paid sick leave, and helping working families, are their priorities," Fields added. "Employers and state lawmakers should listen to the will of the people and focus their efforts on improving the lives of workers, not taking away their voices in the workplace."

How long have you been in your job? One year Describe the space your work in The space I work in is an office cubicle.
But not just any cubicle - we're talkin' built-in tack board, personal fluorescent light which I can turn on or off at will and an L-shaped desktop that stretches the length of two of my padded walls. More than the space itself, it is the people that work around me that give the place its character.
I am the only person on the floor without speakers and a hard drive full of MP3's. I sit in the middle of it and have the rare opportunity to hear Jay-Z rap over Kenny Wayne Shepard.
Do you socialize with your colleagues? Absolutely. I think it is very important, in fact critical, to get to know one's co-workers both on and off the company foosball table.
How often do you see your boss? I see my boss once every other hour.
I find that, like the restaurant business, there are many smokers in the PR trade.
Who is the smartest person you work with? The guy who signs my paychecks.
Who is the craziest? The guy who signs my paychecks. Just kidding. Actually, I have a friend here at MWW who we call 'Coco' because whenever he eats chocolate, he has an allergic reaction and flips his lid. If Fred Astaire ever got a gig with the World Wrestling Federation, he'd be the spittin' image.
How comfortable are your offices? They are pretty darn comfortable. But again, it all depends on the people.
How often are you there when the cleaners come around?
Let's just say I'm dating one of them.
What is the best thing about working there? Free junk food and soda.
And the worst thing? Working on Route 3, just off the New Jersey Turnpike.
What is the biggest thing to hit your office in the past year? Influenza.
That and the new foosball table.
Sneak us a good piece of gossip from your office Did I mention that guy Coco?

Vegetables neatly lined up in wooden cases and colorful cheese, deli meat and seafood signs over counters filled with delicacies. Before you've even enter the restaurant, Urban Deli has kicked off the pleasant food experience you're about to have.
Urban Deli opened its first combined restaurant, food market and store with relaxed atmosphere at Nytorget in Sofo 2009.
"We asked ourselves why it's so boring to shop for food, but so fun to eat out," says Jesper Weidlitz, CEO and one of the founders. He tells that they wanted to create an atmosphere where both parts are just as fun, where you can have a glass of wine and enjoy a good dinner while composing the shopping list, and buy milk or other local produced groceries on your way out.
Urban Deli welcomes everyone to their combined restaurants, grocery stores, food markets, and bars at Sveavägen, Nytorget and in Sickla.
A couple of years after Nytorget it was time for Sickla to get an Urban Deli. At this location they also opened a food lab that makes sausage, herring, sauces and ready-made meals that make it even easier to eat good restaurant food at home. Sveavägen opened in the fall, 2015, with hotel, lounge, food studio, meeting rooms, and a rooftop park.
On Sveavägen 44 you can start every day of the week with a delicious breakfast – French rolls, chia puddings, croissants, eggs, coconut porridge, fresh berries and coffee from Kersh coffee rostery-house on Värmdö (island outside of Stockholm). Then feel free to stay and work for a while in the MRKT lounge. Urban Deli Sveavägen is also the perfect venue for a conference. Besides three meeting rooms there is a food studio where you can have meetings, mingles, events, private dinners with hired chef, and bachelor/bachelorette parties.
We asked ourselves why it's so boring to shop for food, but so fun to eat out
– Jesper Weidlitz, CEO –
During the restaurant's lunch, a standing dish on the menu is Urban Deli's fish casserole with today's selection of fish and clams, served with aioli and croutons. During the hours before dinner is served, you're welcome to the food market for a deli meat tray with antipasti and Urban Deli's own wines. Buy delicious cheeses, tapenade, salads, oysters, crabs and lobster from there, and then everything between vegetables, flowers and ready-made meals cooked on fine ingredients in the grocery store.
From 5 pm the dinner menu is served. Bring good company and share a meat plateau with the evening's selection of fine meat and sausages, the season's primeurs, French fries, Urban Deli's Béarnaise sauce, and red wine sauce.
End the evening in Urban Deli's rooftop park on the 9th floor. Here you can not only enjoy a glass of cava and tasty snacks, but also the stunning views of Stockholm's rooftops. Or check in at the lean luxury Hotel With Urban Deli and sleep well in a pleasantly quiet room below ground level.
And when you've experienced Urban Deli Sveavägen, from hotel to rooftop park, Jesper recommends you to visit Sickla and Nytorget as well:
"All Urban Delis has different chefs that interpret the same concept."

It's empty in here!
Cured constant diarrhea
My cat has always had either soft or liquid stools since we got her, this is the only food that seemed to do the trick and now she has solid poops! I guess this means she's allergic to something in normal cat food.
Very happy
My cat loves this produced and his coat has improved so much that he doesn't need to see vet so often .
Helped improve skin and fur
My vet recommended this for my longhaired black cat, who suffers from dermatitis. Although she still scratches and overgrooms, her skin is much improved and her fur is in better condition than ever, soft and glossy. She also enjoys the taste, so I will continue feeding her this indefinitely.
good for feline Pancreatitis
My 14 year old cat Doppel was recently diagnosed with pancreatitis which could include underlying IBD and/or food intolerances. The vet recommended hydrolysed food (along with pancreatic enzyme meds) but my cat prefers dry food and wouldn't eat HILLS z/d tinned food. Doppel has taken to this food with enthusiasm and has put back some of the weight he's lost and his itchy skin has improved. Huge relief. Phoned Royal Canin to ask if there was a wet equivalent but unfortunately not yet developed .
Worked for my cat
My poor British Shorthair was self-harming (over grooming and scratching) for more than a year and despite many vet visits and no small expense, it was suggested I put her on an elimination diet using this product. After 6 weeks, she was "cured" and she's now on it permanently. I'd give it 10/10 if I could.
not right for my moggy
sadly one of my cats has suffered with vomiting and diarrhoea with this. The other one seems fine
My cat keeps throwing up
I changed to this due to good feedback as i was previously on Hills ZD which changed formula. Well after a slow integration to this stuff my cat keeps throwing up. Thought i would persist but the same thing keeps happening every day..Changing back to ZD. Be careful. Its not for everyone and the reviews dont reflect this!
Resolved diarrhoea and much more energetic!
I have always recommended this to my clients. Got to try it myself on a stray cat I'm fostering at the moment. No more diarrhoea and playing again like a kitten. The key difference with this diet is the hydrolysed protein as opposed to just exclusion of wheat etc. The proteins are broken down by heat so that when they cross the gut they don't bind to receptors in the same way. A very simplistic explaination but my understanding of how it works.
After various vet visits and tests, steroids, antibiotics etc. My cat was put on this diet. Since I started using this my cat has made a complete recovery, no more irratible bowel problems.
After various vet visits and tests, steroids, antibiotics etc. My cat was put on this diet. Since I started using this my cat has made a complete recovery, no more irratible bowel problems.
No more diarrhoea!!
After trying four other types of cat food we have finally solved the problems our 8 month old cat was having with constant diarrhoea. Royal Canin Gastro Intestinal is the only food that doesn't give him the runs! It must be tasty because my other two cats who don't have problems with allergies also love to eat it.
No more dermatitis!
My 5 year old cat Micia began to be covered with scabs and was scratching furiously. Since he's been on this dry food his skin and hair is perfectly wonderful. He also drinking a lot more, but if you remember to leave out fresh water all the time then it's not a problem.
Ok, but strange side effect
My cat (8 years old) began to pull out the hair on his belly by licking too much, then his legs, then thighs. The vet said it might be stress, so I tried starting the Hypoallergenic diet D25 - about 90 grams per day. Things are improving a bit but I find he also drinks a lot more that before (urine and stools are normal). Is it possible that the product might be causing more thirst?
No more itchiness!
My Carthusian suffers from dermatitis but since I started following this diet his problem is greatly reduced! The results are not seen immediately and need a bit of time, but the food helps a lot! My other cat also loves to eat this kibble even though he has no health problems, they both have their own bowls but they always switch so there's nothing I can do to stop them!
Cat with allergies
This is a brilliant product!
My little Fiammetta has food intolerances
- but thanks to my vet and this product we have had no more health problems! A really good solution for our cat's diet.
very good
This was recommended by my veterinarian and it's now the only brand of hypoallergenic kibble that my cat likes to eat. Would definitely recommend!
Tasty but didn't help
My kitty has had diarrhoea for over two months. After all the tests possible the vet has finally concluded she has a food intolerance and I have been feeding my cat this Royal Canin food for a month... unfortunately it didn't help at all, so now I'll try with the sensitivity control one instead.. I will let you know how it goes! ;)
Not bad
I used to feed my cats this and Hill's science plan hypoallergenic. They works...but I changed to organic food...without cereal.It works better!
Hypoallergenic DR25
I want to say thank you to the zooplus team , to bring this food to my favourite pet shop ! My little kitten have a food intolerance ., which come with skin problem , sour itchy skin . Within a week thanks to this food and Royal Canin sensitivity with duck she back to normal . Does what it says .Great product ,good value for the money . Higly recommended !

New Delhi. Out of the blue, BJP may have just pulled off a huge stunner in Delhi. Reports of Michelle Obama joining the Bharatiya Janta Party are coming in.
As per our sources, talks between the BJP leadership and the Obamas have been going on ever since Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the U.S. last September. Michelle Obama will be the BJP's chief ministerial candidate in the upcoming Delhi elections.
Looks like BJP wasn't very confident of Kiran Bedi winning the assembly elections for them. A senior BJP leader, on the condition of anonymity, told us, "The party leadership was worried about the possibility of another hung assembly, which would cause a depreciation in the speed of propagation and energy density of the Modi wave."
When asked why they are roping in Michelle Obama for the job rather than giving a chance to their own deserving candidates such as Shazia Ilmi, he exclaimed, "We are not content with #CheckmateAAP. We want #FlawlessVictoryBJP to trend on twitter."
This might come as a shock to Kiran Bedi who was unavailable for a comment. Although she is not the only BJP leader unhappy with the developments. Sakshi Maharaj and his supporters have raised their voices against this move. They are reportedly unhappy with the fact that Michelle Obama has only two children, half the count required for a woman to ascertain her worth.
No AAP leader in the capital was available for a comment while the party workers were still digging the internet for the screenshots of Kiran Bedi's deleted anti-BJP tweets. Meanwhile, the Aam Aadmi Party's Washington unit is planning on a dharna outside the White House, demanding a probe into how Barack Obama is using the taxpayers' money to travel to India for personal gains.
Michelle Obama joining BJP could mark the beginning of strong ties between the Democrats and the Sangh Parivar. This could also pave the way for Amit Shah's entry into the American politics as Barack Obama's stint as the U.S. President ends in 2016.

I wouldn't say I am generally a skeptic, but lets say I am cautious. I tend to not celebrate something I don't understand or share it. On the flip side when I find something I truly love and I am passionate about, I shout about it and want as many of my friends and family…

Losing teeth is a major change in your life. It affects the way you eat, smile, and pretty much every aspect of your day. That's why our Wellesley MA dental office helps patients overcome their denture problems.
Tocci Dental Associates doesn't want to see patients struggle with their teeth any longer. We are using dental implants to secure your dentures and to give you a more functional and brighter smile. Dentures are the most common tooth replacement option, but they have a host of problems. Today we want to highlight some of the main denture complaints we hear and discuss why dental implants can address those concerns.
1. Not being able to eat the food you love
Dentures stay in the mouth based on fit and a little suction. These dentures are not fixed in the mouth, so the appliances can shift around in the mouth. The No. 1 complaint we hear from denture wearers is that the appliance moves in their mouth whenever they eat. This makes it hard to eat foods you like, and many denture wearers even develop sores because of this. When this happens, people usually avoid many of the foods they love and switch to a soft food diet.
Dental implants, on the other hand, are placed into the bone and secure your teeth. Whenever your new teeth snap into the dental implants, you'll be able to eat whatever you want again.
2. Seeing changes in your face
Whenever the teeth are lost, your jawbone will recede. This is a change that most people don't realize until it happens to them. But it's another unfortunate truth of losing teeth. As the jawbone changes shape, your face literally changes shape, too. Most people notice that their nose and chin grows closer together, giving them a sunken in look. They also often develop wrinkles around the mouth.
Movements in the jawbone also make it difficult to find a good fit for your denture. We can help maintain a better fit by adjusting your denture. However, the jawbone will continue to recede overtime. If you have missing teeth, dental implants are the only way to stop jawbone recession. Once in place, the implants actually merge with the jawbone, stopping recession in its tracks.
3. Your speech might change
The main job of our teeth is eat, but they also help us speak clearly. Most people don't realize that. People with dentures sometimes develop a speech impediment because the appliances can feel clunky. And unfortunately, they have to worry about the dentures possibly flying out of the mouth.
Dental implants can stabilize your dentures and actually improve your speech.
Resolve Dentures Issues Today
If you're having denture problems, Tocci Dental Associates has solutions to correct your smile.
You've probably heard about dental implants and know that they are expensive, but don't rule them out before hearing all of the benefits. We'd love to show you how dental implants can transform your smile. Give us a call today at 781-304-8172 to schedule a visit.

If you're looking for an afternoon pick me up, you've found it with this ethereal, lush wedding courtesy of Clint Bargen Photography. Get ready for a whole lot of pretty, and a super sweet bride and groom!
High school friends Richel (Shay) and Michael struck up a decade-long romance after coincidentally bumping into one another while visiting family for the holidays. On the foundation of years of friendship, they built a love that carried them into a joyous – and stunning – wedding day in the company of family and friends.
After tying the knot at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church in Vancouver, BC, the newlyweds and their guests promptly moved over to Riverway Golf Course for the reception.
Shay wowed in a beautiful lace-covered white dress with full-length lace sleeves, while the bridesmaids sparkled in sequin-top blush pink dresses. Mike looked sharp in a crisp blue suit, and his groomsmen sported gray suits with matching navy ties.
The feel of the day was soft and ethereal, with lush greenery and golden accents balanced by wooden decorations and the existing beams throughout the reception space. Classic florals in white and green featured small leaf eucalyptus and spray roses in mercury glass vases were featured on each round table, and long strands of greenery lined the center of the large family style table in the center of the room.
Fun, playful touches were scattered throughout the reception to capture the couple's love of video games. Spray painted army men and video game controllers acted as compliments to succulent favors and table numbers. A few army men even made it onto the cake.
For all the subdued grace of the wedding day, the couple themselves were charged with energy and clearly enjoyed every minute of their wedding day.
"It was Richel's outgoing personality that drew me to her," Mike said. "She was so energetic, friendly and humorous. From the first day we talked until now, we always find ways to make each other laugh."
Shay added, "Michael is and always will be my partner in crime. We scheme together, make goals together, laugh together, cry together- we do everything together. I couldn't be more blessed to have someone who also pushes me to be my own person and supports my independence. Mike inspires me in every way and he's one of the main reasons why I always aim to be the best version of me."

Only 26 days until the Auction! Today we're going live with photos and information about some of our newly completed class projects. I have to say, the class projects are absolutely phenomenal this year. The parents and teachers who worked with the kids to create these original pieces were truly inspired! A big thanks to Betsy Balmat for keeping everyone organized and on track.
All class projects (with the exception of two that we moved to the Live Auction) will be available for bidding on PREVIEW DAY on Friday, March 20, in the MUR — 2:45-6:00 p.m.
Check back often this week. We'll be posting more photos as the week progresses. Enjoy!
Class: Mrs. Tornheim
Project coordinator: Kim Brunelle
Kim hand painted and lacquered this beautiful fire-engine red Adirondack chair, with the green garden design hand painted by the kids in Room 5. The chair comes with the seat cushion shown in the photos, as well as (not shown) a grapevine and flower wreath, hand painted gourd bird feeder, and a bird watching book. Bring this home on Auction night to create your own backyard nook for relaxing!
Class: Mrs. Risken
Project coordinators: Gaby Avina & Rosa Delgman

Class: Dr. Ogden
Project coordinators: Sue Carpenter & Betsy Balmat
This cool and funky heart art reflects the individual talents of the top-notch artists in Dr. Ogden's first-grade class. Each student took one piece of the puzzle home to paint as they wanted. Put together, it's a great original work of art — perfect for your child's room or a colorful playroom — that will brighten your home.

These have been used for many years for the less exacting rawmilling process, but recently roller mills, in combination with highefficiency separators, have been used for cement grinding. The grinding action employs much greater stress on the material than in a ball mill, and is therefore more efficient.
In all ore dressing and milling Operations, including flotation, cyanidation, gravity concentration, and amalgamation, the Working Principle is to crush and grind, often with rob mill &ball mills, the ore in order to liberate the minerals. In the chemical and process industries, grinding is an important step in preparing raw materials for
A wide variety of efficient mill options are available to you, such as free samples, paid samples. There are 30,309 efficient mill suppliers, mainly located in Asia. The top supplying countries are China (Mainland), Turkey, and Japan, which supply 96%, 2%, and 1% of efficient mill respectively.
Ball mills are a special instrument used to break up hard solids into a fine powder. They are similar to rock tumblers in that the instrument is a rotating container filled with heavy balls to grind the substance into powder. Ceramic material, crystalline compounds, and even some metals can be ground up using a ball mill.

SEND Ukraine 3M (Missions Mobilization Ministry) is seeking to move Ukrainian evangelical churches toward participation in international missions. By God's grace last year, over 300 people attended missions training and seminars, over 500 attended a missions conference, and 25 made commitments to participate in missions.
As churches grow in their missions involvement, the need for a central location to network and train also grows. Construction is already underway for the 3M Missions Center.
One elderly church member who grew up under communism recently recalled the history of God's protection of the building site. He said, "Over my life I've prayed many times that one day God would provide us a radio station, or something like that, to take the Gospel far and wide. God is answering my prayers in ways I never imagined - a missions center is going up to help us reach unreached peoples for Christ!"
Project Total: $95,000

The Newark show by Roy and Chris, pictures by Martyn
This show is actually called "The Carole Nash / Classic Bike Guide Winter Show", being held over the first weekend in January at the Newark Showground just off the A1. This is a large show held in several halls, plus some hardy souls who set up their stands outside on the grass; for the less hardy there is another large marquee – here at least here, the traders do not get wet, just cold!!
For the last couple of years Martyn has come and collected me on the Saturday morning and we travel in together. I book our tickets in advance, which means that we miss joining a large queue to enter the showground. The biggest hall is on your right as you walk through the gate; this is full of private-entry motorcycles, which give people the chance to display their pride and joy. The private entries and club stands were to a very high standard.
One pristine outfit had been raced by Rolf Biland in 1983. This outfit won the "Best Competition – Any Other Type" award. Martyn had a great time looking at all the tool stands and those selling nuts and bolts, etc.; there was plenty to look at.
However the layout had changed slightly from previous years and, talking to other visitors, the opinion was that the number of motorcycles on display here seemed fewer than before. New for this year, just outside the hall, was a Moto Gymkhana set up; this entailed riding around some cones, against the clock. I watched a couple of riders having a go, and it was certainly fast and furious! Visitors to the show were able to book a session and have a go, and there were several sessions a day, with a maximum of three riders in any session; motorcycles and a scooter were provided. The marquee area had loads of trade stalls, some offering great deals on riding gear. There were some new crash helmets priced at £15, and we wondered how good these were. There was plenty to see and there were also a few motorcycles for sale, plus some autojumble stands.
Next we moved onto the "Lady Eastwood Pavilion"; again a good selection of club, trade and autojumble stands. Martyn was again in his element looking at the bits and pieces on offer. The Main Stage had been relocated to this hall and Steve Plater was interviewing the guest of honour, who this year was Freddie Spencer. In 1982 Freddie won his first 500 cc World Championship at the age of twenty-one. He was interesting to listen to. Steve is excellent at asking the right questions. These live on-stage sessions are always good, and the one that I really enjoyed was the Birchall Brothers; both Steve and the brothers were on top form.
Finally we made our way to the last set of halls in the first section, where twice a day they have a "Blast from the past"; this is where motorcycles and scooters are fired up and revved hard; there are signs warning you about the noise!! This is a popular event and attracts quite a crowd of onlookers.
Moving on you come to "Scooter World"; lots of scooters here mixed in with some motorcycles and club stands. This was the only area in the show where music was being played. This was supplied by "Mod Radio"; a couple were kept busy all day churning out the music. Amongst the scooters Martyn and I spotted a red scooter outfit; this was a Maicoletta scooter and a Swallow chair.
Talking to the current owner (the outfit's third) this was supplied new as an outfit in 1957. The current owner has overhauled some of the sidecar panels to a high standard. I was surprised at the amount of leg room in the chair; however the seat is well back. The Maicoletta scooter was very quick in its time.
There was a fine display of scooters, and some of them had really nice paint jobs. The Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance stall held a raffle and had some good quality prizes; I got lucky and won a nice pair of riding gloves!
Mortons Archive had a good display of old photographs – speaking to the representative I was led to believe that you can see these on www.mortonsarchive.com
Martyn and I then retraced our footsteps. Buying the stuff that we had spotted earlier. The show was very busy, helped possibly by the mild weather, and there were plenty of motorcycles in the car park. This is a good show, well worth a visit and it gives you a chance to spend any left-over money from Christmas!!

Early LRP Review – Chicken Stew
Date: December 13, 2008
By: Capt Bob
As I was taking inventory of my ration collection, I noticed an opened LRP. I remembered that I had opened it to check its contents because I had an identical one that was still closed. The contents were complete, and just as I was about to put it back…. I thought, "Hmmmm. It's getting to be about lunchtime." Remembering the reviews on the MREInfo website, I don't recall ever seeing anyone documenting an LRP before – and certainly not an old one like mine. So, here we go!
First of all, there is no date on the outside package, nor on any of the interior components; but word has it that these were made in the late 1970s to early 1980s. The exterior has printing:
In small type at the bottom of the bag: "Quality Packaging Supply Corp., Rochester NY 14621"
Here is the contents: the old, white spoon; an accessory packet; and the entree, wrapped (for some reason) in a brown cardboard wrapper.
Pulling the entree out from its cardboard wrapper, we see that it was made by Oregon Freeze Dry Foods, Inc., Albany Oregon. No list of ingredients, but there are directions for use.
Here's what I found in the accessory packet: two packets of coffee; creamer; toilet tissue; two circular, foil-wrapped chocolate bars; matches; and sugar. The accessory packet contents also list an "interdental stimulator" which I must've lost. I wonder how much different this interdental stimulator might look from your everyday toothpick. I guess I'll never know!
Opening up the chocolate, you can see how deteriorated it had become. Dry and crumbly, it still had the familiar smell, but it had ceased being a delicious treat long ago. My mistake was taking that little, triangular-shaped piece seen at the bottom of the photo and sampling it. Bitter and awful-tasting! I downed an entire soft drink to help remove the taste, but I could still taste it.
Turning back to the Chicken Stew entree, the directions indicate that there is another bag inside this foil pouch, so I straightened out the end and tore it off.
Sure enough, the dehydrated entree is enclosed in another plastic bag.
The top of the bag is folded down onto the center of the bag.
Turning the bag over, you can see a cardboard bottom which helps the bag remain upright when it is filled with water.
Turning the bag right-side up, I opened the top of the bag and gave this entree the smell test. Hmmm. Not bad. Let's take a closer look.
Yep…. dry and crumbly. Not good for chocolate; but exactly what you'd expect in a dehydrated entree. I took a couple of pieces and sampled them for taste. Again… not bad. The directions state to add half a canteen cup of water, hot or cold, to the food in the bag. Unable to find my canteen cup and not wanting to dig out my triox tablets and folding stove, I microwaved some water in a Pyrex measuring cup.
Well…. the directions say, "let soak about 5 minutes" and, as you can see, the veggies are starting to plump up and look like real food!
After about five minutes, most of the food had absorbed all the water. Giving it a stir, there was still some dry food at the bottom. The directions say "add more water if desired". Good. I did just that.
Giving it another stir and waiting a little longer for the water to soak in, it was beginning to look and smell really good. My two Australian Shepherds were waiting patiently for what they hoped might be their next meal.
Okay, so the iPhone doesn't do well with closeup pictures; but I wanted to get a shop with some of the stew on the spoon to give you an idea of the size of the veggies, etc.
To see how much food this makes, you can see that it completely fills this large soup plate. "Down, dogs! This is for me!" They watch from a distance as I taste this for the first time.
As for the taste, there is an abundance of thick, creamy texture and excellent chicken flavor in the base. The small diced vegetables are colorful and recognizable for their flavor as well. Peas, carrots, potatoes, all in good balance. The pieces of chicken can be a bit chewy–undoubtably a result of dehydration process–but all in all, very tasty and filling. Surprisingly, there was no off-odors or -flavors in this entree. I might have expected some staleness or even a tinge of rancidity, but nothing like that appeared. The seasoning is just about right for anyone's palette; I might have added some pepper if it were provided in the accessory kit. You probably wouldn't want to add any salt.
So, other than the bad chocolate experience, this was a fun to make and also made for a quite filling lunch.

"O my Lord, the stars glitter
and the eyes of men are closed.
Kings have locked their doors
and each lover is alone with his beloved.
Here, I am alone with You."
Archive for the 'poems' Category
Here, I am alone with you – Rabia al-Basri
"O my Lord, the stars glitter
Wendell Berry – "My sweetness is to wake in the night after days of dry heat, hearing the rain"
Posted in poems on March 14, 2018|
I was born in a drouth year. That summer
my mother waited in the house, enclosed
in the sun and the dry ceaseless wind,
for the men to come back in the evenings,
bringing water from a distant spring.
Veins of leaves ran dry, roots shrank.
And all my life I have dreaded the return
of that year, sure that it still is
somewhere, like a dead enemy's soul.
Fear of dust in my mouth is always with me,
and I am the faithful husband of the rain,
I love the water of wells and springs
and the taste of roofs in the water of cisterns.
I am a dry man whose thirst is praise
of clouds, and whose mind is something of a cup.
My sweetness is to wake in the night
after days of dry heat, hearing the rain.
(from "Farming: A Handbook" by Wendell Berry)
Hafiz: "How can they know of our state, those who go lightly along the shore?"
0 Saki, bring around the cup of wine and then offer it to me,
for love seemed easy at first, but then grew difficult.
Flooded with their heart's blood are those who wait for the scent
that the dawn wind may spill from her dark, musky curls.
Stain your prayer mat with wine if the Magus tells you to,
for such a traveller knows the road, and the customs of its stations.
What security is there for us here in her caravanserai
when every moment camel bells cry, "Pack up the loads!"?
The dark night, the fear of waves, the terrifying whirlpool,
how can they know of our state, those who go lightly along the shore?
In the end, my life has drawn me from self-concern to ill-repute.
How long can the secret of our assemblies stay hidden?
Hafiz, if you desire her presence, pay attention.
When you find the one you seek, abandon the world and let it go.
(Translated by E. Gray – The Green Sea of Heaven, Ashland: White Cloud Press http://www.spiritual-learning.com/hafiz-compare.html)
Rabia al-Basri (713-801) – "I am a doorkeeper of the Heart"
I am fully qualified to work as a doorkeeper, and for this reason:
What is inside me, I don't let out:
What is outside me, I don't let in.
If someone comes in, he goes right out again.
He has nothing to do with me at all.
I am a doorkeeper of the Heart, not a lump of wet clay.
(Thank you http://rabia-al-adawiya.over-blog.com/rabia-s-poems.html )
Jalal al-Din Rumi – "Desire only that of which you have no hope seek only that of which you have no clue"
of domination and servitude
are what you know as love
but love is different
it arrives complete
just there
like the moon in the window
like the sun
of neither east nor west
nor of anyplace
when the sun arrives
east and west arrive
desire only that
of which you have no hope
seek only that
of which you have no clue
love is the sea of not being
and there intellect drowns
this is not the Oxus river
or some little creek
this is the shoreless sea;
here swimming ends
always in drowning
a journey to the sea
is horses and fodder and contrivance
but at land's end
footsteps vanish
you lift up your robe
so as not to wet the hem;
come! drown in this sea
a thousand times
the moon passes over
the ocean of nonbeing
droplets of spray tear loose
and fall back on cresting waves
a million galaxies
are a little scum
Han Shan (c.800) – "Where the dust blows through these heights, There once shone a silent sea."
The peach petals would like to stay,
But moon and wind blow them on.
You won't find those ancient men,
Those dynasties are dead and gone.
Day by day the blossoms fall,
Year by year the people go.
Where the dust blows through these heights,
There once shone a silent sea.
(From "Cold Mountain Poems" translated by Gary Snyder)
IV. Death by Water – T.S. Eliot
Phlebas the Phoenician, a fortnight dead,
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
and the profit and loss.
A current under the sea
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
He passed the stages of his age and youth
Entering the whirlpool.
Gentile or Jew
O you who turn the wheel and look to windward,
Consider Phlebas, who was once handsome and tall as you.
(from "The Waste Land" (1922))
