The Rise Of Medicinal Mushrooms
People have known about the power of mushrooms for a very long time, but it is only now that they are becoming mainstream in the West. Traditional Chinese medicine has incorporated their use since at least 200AD with the book Shennong Ben Cao Jing ("The Classic of Herbal Medicine") noting that the lingzhi mushroom has many beneficial qualities with no side effects. (1) The lingzhi mushroom is also known as the ling chi mushroom, and even as the reishi mushroom in Japan.
For a doctor, finding a medicine that cures a number of ailments and has no side effects is quite remarkable. It does cause you to wonder how many different mushrooms the Chinese doctors had to examine before they found the ones that suited their needs!
Of course, some mushrooms can have negative effects or even be toxic. You should never go picking wild mushrooms unless you are absolutely sure of what you are doing, and even then, it is wise to take care. A much safer way of getting good quality beneficial mushrooms into your diet is take a look at some of the supplements and other products that are now available.
Vitamin D isn't just from the sun
Here's the first benefit to consuming mushrooms – they are one of the few foods that contain vitamin D. In humans, vitamin D is normally manufactured by the body being exposed to sunlight. Many people are deficient in vitamin D, especially during winter, and so mushrooms provide a solution to this problem. (2)
Other foods that are high in vitamin D include liver, fatty fish, and egg yolks, but none of those are suitable for vegans (or even some vegetarians), and so mushrooms can provide a solution if you are avoiding animal products.
However, some people enjoy eating mushrooms, while others can't stand even looking at them – fortunately, supplements are now available in capsule form. Made from extracts of mushroom, each capsule can contain 10 micrograms of vitamin D, which is the RDA in the UK. You don't have to eat mushrooms or try and find sunshine in winter – the capsule does it all for you.
How else can mushrooms benefit your health?
Mushrooms grow in many different varieties, but medicinal mushrooms have one thing in common – they all contain polysaccharides called beta-glucans. Beta-glucans are the compounds that produce the beneficial effects, but the beta-glucans in one species of mushroom differ from the beta-glucans in another. (3)
Lingzhi mushrooms make you feel good – they can alleviate anxiety and depression, and help with better sleep. Better yet, you can buy them in powder form, which you can add to drinks and food. They may even attack cancer cells. (4)
Chaga mushrooms also possess cancer-fighting properties, along with the ability to help lower LDL cholesterol – that's the bad kind of cholesterol – and are also available in powder form. (5) Chaga mushrooms are also considered to be helpful in the battle against the common cold.
Shiitake mushrooms offer similar benefits and are once again available as a dietary supplement in the form of powder.
In fact, many varieties of mushroom offer general health benefits. They contain high amounts of antioxidants, desirable for their anticancer properties, heart health benefits, and immune-boosting ability.
There are a number of fruits and vegetables that provide similar health benefits, including such diverse plants as squashes and blueberries, but it is hard to find such a concentrated amount of "goodness" in an individual food that is not of the mushroom family.
But eating fungus can't be healthy, can it?
Fungus and mould have had a bad reputation as far as food goes – after all, would you eat mouldy food? Scientifically, they are essentially the same thing, with the difference being in the way they grow and reproduce.
You already know that there are incidents good fungus and bad fungus – some mushrooms can make you very ill, but some are fine to eat. Some mouldy cheese needs to be thrown away, but Stilton cheese is mouldy by design. Penicillin, the antibiotic, was developed from mould - so even Western medicine can see the benefits!
Commercially produced supplements and foodstuffs made from mushrooms will be safe to consume and will provide numerous benefits, not just limited to those listed above. With mushroom supplements available as powders, the rise in mushroom teas, and an assortment of other products being made, it is certainly time to embrace fungus!
Don't just eat it - wear it
Skincare products including mushroom extracts have already hit the market. (6) The antioxidant properties of mushrooms provide anti-aging qualities, while the cordyceps mushroom is especially well-known for this. (7)
Snow mushrooms are said to increase skin hydration, so mushrooms can be beneficial whether you eat them or rub them on your skin. (8)
Versatile, health giving, and tasty – what more could you ask for?

Dear Me,
Today is hard. Not your hardest day for sure, but far from the easiest. You're living outside of your comfort zone in a lot of ways right now and that's tough for anyone.
But your brain works a little differently. Going out of your comfort zone means a barrage of worst-case scenarios, your body screaming at you that what you're doing is not only challenging, but life-or-death dangerous.
Guess what? It is a battle of life and death, but not the way your body thinks it is. It is life or death because if you stop trying, if you stay in bed and pretend you don't want the full range of human experience, you will die.
Not a physical death and not a quick death, but a slow immolation of the curiosity, determination, and ambition that make you the person you are. If you stop putting yourself out there– risking failure, rejection, pain– you will cease to live.
That's not to say you must always succeed. You will fail. You will face rejection. You will hurt. You will fall, but you must always get back up. Despite what your brain tells you, these things are normal. You will not only survive but you will thrive.
So celebrate the hard days like this one, the days where your brain is begging you to run away and hide– yet you find a way to move forward.
It's okay to take a day off. It's ok to need some alone time.
But it's not okay to quit and I'm proud of you because you never have.

Easy-To-Do Techniques To Fix Personal Computer Issues: Series 1
Many of us who are computer owners can never escape dilemmas arising from driver failures, audio and video problems, and many different issues. You can now make your life easier and have more things to know to better cope with some of the common computer riddles.
On these series, we are going to discuss about personal computers that don't boot-up, optical drive booting, understanding weird error messages, and bad driver roll-backing and audio problems troubleshooting.
First, let's focus on booting problems.
Personal computers that don't boot-up
It will take only a few minutes to detect possible reasons why your PC is unable to boot or power-on. The most possible reasons involved why your computer fails to boot would be that you have tried to boot from a bootable Universal Serial Bus (USB) or optical drive and it all landed to failure. When this happens, all you need to do is to check both power and external cables for you to determine if the screen is on. Your motherboard has a failure on its hardware when you hear noises which come into pattern sounds like it beeps once, followed by two beeps, another two beeps, and then three beeps. For this reason you need to check it out with your Basic Input Output System (BIOS) manufacturer for more assistance on this issue.
You may check if all your mother board cables like hard drive links and power supply are connected properly after opening the box and also you may check on the internal cables if there's no noise coming from your personal computer. You may remove and reinsert your Random Access Memory (RAM) and test if you can boot with one RAM stick for the time being to check if the RAM is seated on the right way; but if your Random Access Memory is dual, stick is not necessary. You may test if you can sub in your one or more RAM component.
Remember that cheap power supply are failure prone and to check if your personal computer will boot, you may try connecting a back-up power supply to your system and install it inside the box. When it comes to buzzing fans, it may be that your power supply has enough to keep the fan going but no more for the rest of the system. You may try to remove the discrete graphics card and attach to the monitor the integrated graphics connector of your personal computer.
Take note that if the above techniques to fix the booting issue don't work, you may have a busted Central Processing Unit or bad clusters on your motherboard.
On the continuation of these series, you'll be reading about optical drive booting next. So keep on reading for more.

In this reflection on the First Intifada (1987–93), Khalid Farraj recounts his very personal experience as an active member of the uprising. In addition to describing the harsh conditions in Israeli detention at the Ansar 3 prison in the southern Negev, Farraj details the ways in which the uprising was organized at the grassroots, fueling the hopes and dreams of an entire generation of Palestinians. He relates his own arrest in March 1988 during a security sweep of Jalazun refugee camp where he grew up and his work as an activist leafleting and disseminating information among the community. Farraj also provides a glimpse into the workings of the uprising both at the grassroots and at the level of the clandestine local leadership known as the Unified National Leadership of the Uprising (UNLU, al-qiyada al-muwwahida). Despite the letdown subsequent to the Oslo process, which yielded neither self-determination nor liberation for the Palestinians, the First Intifada remains a pivotal moment of Palestinian history, which Farraj looks back on with feeling but without nostalgia. This first-person text was translated from the Arabic by Nehad Khader and Maia Tabet. The original appeared in issue 110 (Spring 2017) of Majallat al-Dirasat al-Filastiniyya.

Field Study
We are proudly a rain or shine kind of school so be sure to send your kids with rain boots and rain jackets this Friday. Sweatshirts are NOT appropriate rain wear. (Of course, if it's pouring and kids will be miserable we will make alternate plans but a drizzle won't stop Chrysalis from having field study.)
- Friday - AM Kinder to Clear Creek
- Friday - PM 1st & 4th to Turtle Bay Arboretum
- Friday - 2nd & 3rd and 5th & 6th to Palo Cedro Park
- Friday - 7th & 8th to Narnia
School News
- Parent pick up -- We will be changing some parent pick up protocols this week because kids have been playing tag under the redwoods and getting too close to the cars or the bus pick up. Also, it's been hard for staff to keep track of which kids have been paired up with someone from the authorized pick up list and which have not. Thus, teachers will be walking kids out quietly and teaching them to sit or stand calmly under the eaves. When they transfer to your care, please keep them close and remind them to use "walking feet" (no tag, running, jumping over the hedges, etc.) and "inside voices". We welcome you to socialize after school with other parents, but please move away from the pick up area at the corner of the office building and head just down the sidewalk towards the fire hydrant or across to the island (there's even a hidden bench in there). If your kids' friends who have not yet been picked up try to follow, please help the staff by directing them back to the pick up area. Thanks for helping us keep kids safe!
- Rootbeer float fundraiser - A group of 5th grade boys have taken the initiative to put together a fundraiser to raise money for the school and for families impacted by the Carr Fire. They will be selling rootbeer floats for $1.75 at recess and lunch next week Wednesday. We love encouraging students in these community service and entrepreneurial efforts. What a great way to learn about planning, accounting, service, and making a difference. One of our key educational philosophies is "Global Awareness and Citizenship". To us, that means we want students to leave Chrysalis prepared to make a positive contribution to the world and be able to fully participate as a citizen in our society. Our rules for fundraisers are that all the money (minus expenses should go to a good cause), it's limited in time and scope (no fundraisers that last for days on end), it is open to all students (nobody feels left out), and that it's well planned. If your child has an idea, Dr. Irene would LOVE to help support him or her.
- Girls Basketball - Girls basketball season is about to begin. If your daughter is interested, the first girls basketball meeting will be Friday October 12, right after release (about 3:20pm) in Mr Nick's room. Girls basketball is open 4th grade thru 8th grade, and girl home schoolers 4th-8th are welcome.
- Parent Conferences - Question: What can I expect at parent conferences? Answer: The goal is a rich, interactive conversation reviewing academic, social, and behavioral data about your child so that we can work together to keep their light shining. We do not teach to any test here at Chrysalis — we teach for understanding. You won't see a report card with a letter grade in each subject. Instead, you'll see your child's data on a variety of measures -- iReady, reading fluency, recent tests, attendance, self-assessments, etc. -- and have a chance to make sense of that data with your child's teacher. Then we want YOU to bring your perspective and "data" from home. For example, if your child does not come home excited about learning, or she doesn't want to come to school, or feels like he has no friends, we want to know. Bring your questions. Bring your concerns. Help us build a complete picture of your child.
Volunteer Opportunities
- Chrysalis is looking for a newsletter editor! This is a fabulous, guaranteed 40 hours for the school year position, perfect for the working family since everything is handled through e-mail and online. Your responsibility is to compile newsletter items from Dr. Irene, Parent Club, Project SHARE, teachers, Love and Logic, and community events and send it out each Thursday.

Aquatic Center
After 40 years, the original Victor CSD pool no longer met the needs of the school's highly competitive swim and dive teams and heavy public use. SWBR was hired to design a high-performance pool and state-of-the-art support facilities.
A new addition was built, housing a 420,000-gallon, eight-lane pool with diving well. An advanced filtration and UV treatment system keeps the pool water clean and healthy. A computer system monitors its chemical and chlorine levels, and a robotic cleaning system maintains it. Surrounding the pool, new raised tiered seating gives supporters an unobstructed view and additional lifeguard chairs offer greater safety for swimmers. Extra windows and roof monitors flood the pool area with natural light. A cutting-edge air control system controls humidity and eliminates the chlorine smell. New locker rooms and lobby complete the addition.
The Aquatic Center opened in 2014 to very positive reviews summed up by Chris Marshall, VCSD Director of Facilities, "This Aquatic Center is stunning. It looks and functions great! SWBR did a great job guiding us through the entire process, delivering us exactly what everyone needed."

Energitismo Insight
The Church of Santa Maria Assunta became Collegiate in 1582 by the merger with the St. Paul church in the abandoned town of Ninfa. Originally in the centre of the town, in 1793, Francesco Caetani moved it to its present position. It was destroyed by bombing and rebuilt with the same materials but without stucco and frescoes. Two ceramic bands in relief represent the history of Cisterna: exodus from the caves, battles and migrations, Saint Michael Archangel victor over sin, the patron saint San Rocco beat the plague. Inside is a statue of San Rocco, attributed to the school of Canova, elected patron during the plague of 1837.

Giving new hope to grieving Catholics
He is the most prominent Roman Catholic leader, Archbishop and Cardinal of the Australian Church and one involved in the election of both Popes Benedict and Francis and until his arrest one of the Pope Francis' highest-ranking Cardinals, now convicted by the Australian legal system, pending appeal, of the sexual assault of two choir boys while he was Archbishop of Melbourne in 1996.
How are we to respond to an event of such seriousness?
Concern for the victims of child abuse and renewed vigilance are essential.
Can I also suggest that we stop to consider the spiritual impact this is having on our Roman Catholic friends, family and neighbours?
For many people from a Protestant background, this conviction may evoke feelings of anger, dismay and shame, feeling that the good name of our Lord Jesus Christ has been tarnished and evangelism has been made just that bit more difficult. However, for people from a Roman Catholic background, the response is more likely to be either disillusionment or conversely a fierce defence of their Church.
The Roman Catholic Worldview
Understanding a Roman Catholic worldview can help us understand our Catholic friend's response and how we might speak helpfully into their situation. For Roman Catholics, salvation occurs, not through faith in Christ alone but through the institution of the Roman Catholic Church. The Roman Catholic Church is the continuation of Jesus presence in the world, the Pope is the vicar (or representative) of Christ in the world, and the sacraments that are distributed daily in Catholic Churches throughout the world are according to them; wholly, substantially and completely Jesus Christ in the flesh. So, for someone who holds this world view and in Sydney over 1.2 million people identify as Roman Catholic and over 25% of our school students are taught this world view in Catholic schools, George Pell's conviction provokes a response of either disillusionment or a fierce defence.
Disillusionment because their only hope of salvation – The Roman Catholic Church - appears so sullied and discredited, that it can no longer be relied upon, or fierce defensiveness because as broken as the Catholic system seems to be … it is their only hope for salvation.
In a recent poll on MSN.com asking the question, "Has Cardinal Pell's conviction shaken your faith in the Catholic Church?" 19% of respondents indicated, "Yes, it is the last straw" which is striking, given that only 27% of Sydney is Roman Catholic and 44% of respondents indicated that they didn't believe in God.
There is little movement between attenders of Catholic and Protestant churches
However, in Sydney it is not just the Catholics that have a problem, people from a Protestant background have a problem too, but it is not primarily our own failings of leadership in the area of protecting children, though that certainly is a problem! The other problem we have is that we have so few connections with people from a Roman Catholic background so as the 10's, no probably 100's of thousands of people from a Roman Catholic background in our city that will just drift away from any meaningful faith in Christ … they will do so unknown to us. They don't come to our Churches despite whatever activities we engage in to attract them to us because their world view says … the way we relate to God is through the institution of the Roman Catholic Church … Why would I go to another smaller Christian institution? The NSCL data confirms this fact, stating,
"There is very little movement of attenders between the Catholic Church and Protestant churches. It appears that Catholic attenders who make a change tend to leave church life altogether, rather than moving to other churches."
We find it hard to connect with them through the school years, either as kids or as parents of school aged kids because the Catholic School System educates 25% of our city but only 3% of kids at those schools identify as Protestant or come from Protestant families. Sadly, because so many of our ministry strategies don't take account of what it is like to live as a Roman Catholic in Sydney, we won't be able to offer many of them the simple line of hope … "You might be giving up on the Roman Catholic Church, but don't give up on Jesus. Would you like to read the Bible with me?" because we just don't know enough exiting Catholics well enough. That's a big problem when they make up over a quarter of our mission field!
So Roman Catholics have a problem and Protestants have a problem … what about some solutions?
Individuals … Pray. And act.
If people from a Catholic background make up over 1 in 4 people in our city and they are distributed fairly evenly throughout the city, then the vast majority of us will have a Roman Catholic neighbour. If you are unsure who they are spend some time in the morning outside your home and look at the uniforms the kids are wearing as they head off to school. Pray for them specifically. Then make a point of talking to them in the next week or so and compassionately ask them how the judgement on Cardinal Pell is affecting them and their family? Then be ready with a short testimony and an offer to read the Bible. Another thing you could offer them is the booklet, The Road once Travelled. Matthias Media published this book several years ago for Protestants to give to their Roman Catholic friends, arguing simply … "you might be giving up on the Roman Catholic Church … don't give up on Jesus … read the Bible with someone."
Churches … Our churches should be Mission central for our suburbs, enabling Christians to work together to reach the various people groups that surround us. When was the last time you prayed for people from a Roman Catholic Background specifically? Ask your ministry leaders what your church is doing to help you reach the many thousands of exiting Roman Catholics in your suburb and if you're not satisfied with the answer … keep asking!
Our Diocese … Support for a Diocese-wide plan to reach lapsed Roman Catholics is in its early stages. All funding at present comes from individual donors. If you want to personally support ministry to Roman Catholics in this diocese you can support the mission I lead under the oversight of the Department of Evangelism, Certainty4Eternity.
There are many things to consider in our response to Cardinal Pell's conviction – our concern for victims of child abuse, the challenge for all organisations, especially churches, to implement policies to keep children safe, and our mission to proclaim the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus which thousands of Catholics desperately need to hear.
Mark Gilbert works with Certainty4Eternity

On my 6th week pregnancy, I was 51.7kg.
The day before I delivered my Baby Dynamo, I weighed 59.8kg.
Today, 13 days after I delivered, I am 52.9kg.
But my tummy remains prominent. I still can't fit into my shorts and jeans.
Time to go back to the gym.
But when would my gym time be between bathing my two sons and breastfeeding my youngest?

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THE FOLLOWING PLEASE CONTACT WILTON MARBLE AT (423) 303-8469 OR email@example.com.
If you are getting divorced or thinking about it you need to know your rights. Divorce and child custody matters are stressful. In the heat of the moment mistakes can be made that will cost you later.
A divorce usually starts with the filing of a complaint for divorce. There are numerous grounds for divorce and if you are thinking about filing a complaint you should consult with an attorney. If you have been served a complaint you should consult with an attorney immediately as usually you have thirty (30) days to answer and if you do not then the other side can get a "default" judgment which basically says that they were right. Also you need to consult with an attorney before closing bank accounts or cancelling/modifying insurance policies as typically there is an injunction against such things that goes into effect with the filing of the complaint.
One of the most common grounds is called "irreconcilable differences" which simply means that both parties agree the marriage is broken and they want a divorce. If both parties agree on everything this ground can be used and can save the time, expense and stress of a trial.
Typically a divorce can be thought of as involving child custody issues and property issues. Child custody refers to the amount of time each parent will be spending with the children and what each parent is responsible for. Property issues included how to divide the property (who gets what) as well as issues of support (alimony etc.).
If the parties cannot agree on everything then typically they must attend mediation prior to going to trial. At mediation the parties, their attorneys and a mediator will meet to try to work out an agreement. If successful this saves the time, stress and expense of a trial because the court can incorporate the agreement into the final decree of divorce. Even if it is only partially successful (for example the parties agree on property but disagree on child custody) it can save time, stress and expense by limiting the issues that have to be tried.
Once the parties agree or there is a trial the divorce is usually concluded by the entry of a final decree of divorce. The final decree will usually include a "marital dissolution agreement" which details the property issues and a "permanent parenting plan" which details child custody.
If there are children involved you should not discuss the case with them or talk badly about the other party in the presence of the children. You may have good reason to hate your spouse but the court will take a dim view of you talking bad about your spouse in front of the spouse's children.

You should not talk about your case to anyone other than your lawyer and you should be very extremely careful about what you say on Facebook and other social media. Divorce lawyers love Facebook because of some of the incredibly stupid things people will say on Facebook. And even if you do not say something stupid someone else can say it on your page and you can be harmed by it. For example, if one of your Facebook "friends" posts a picture of you and that hot blonde from the club the other night that could come back to haunt you. You should not be talking about the case at all on Facebook.

UPDATE 11/1/14: We now have extended this section by almost a mile!! Go check it out, the gate isn't where it used to be.
Trail Section 7 begins at the southern trail head of the existing ICV Trail near Millerstown Road and ends approximately 2.2 miles to the southwest at Pritts Road. The southern trail head for the existing ICVHBT is marked by a gate and bench. No other alternatives were considered because the condition of the railroad grade through this section is conducive to trail use. The railroad ballast surface is mostly intact. In Saltlick Township, the trail surface is excellent. The approximate width of the grade is eleven to fifteen feet.
The land use through Trail Section 7 is mostly forested. The initial northern section of trail is flanked by cliffs on the south for about 1,200 feet and Indian Creek on the north. There is evidence of an old drainage channel through this section, but it is mostly filled with leaves and branches. The trail narrows to approximately seven feet wide through this section. Further along, there is evidence of ATV usage, with ruts visible. There is also evidence of old logging roads connecting with the trail. For a distance of approximately 140 feet, a tributary flows on the trail section. There are numerous areas with water ponding and abandoned mine drainage. Towards the southern end of the trail, illegal dumping is apparent. There is a small, single span, wood deck bridge that crosses an unnamed tributary to Indian Creek. It is in fair, usable condition.

Is miraDry a solution for sweaty hands and feet?
My underarm do not sweat as much as my hands and feet. It's embarrassing to shake hands with people, because whenever I'm a bit excited, nervous or even scared, my palms and feet get completely slimy. I've noticed miraDry is used to treat armpit hyperhidrosis, but I don't know if the same treatment can be applied to other body areas.
Unfortunately, no. Not yet. MiraDry is a very effective solution for treating focal hyperhidrosis of the armpits. It's mechanism of function is to intentionally destroy sweat glands in the treatment area by use of electromagnetic energy. But for patients suffering from primary hyperhidrosis in other areas of the body, Botox is the most commonly recommended clinical solution.
Please note that if you are experiencing general or secondary hyperhidrosis, characterized by excessive sweating all over the body, you need to seek medical attention. Excessive body-wide sweating may be a sign of a more serious underlying medical condition. Some possible health conditions associated with secondary or general hyperhidrosis include low blood sugar, lymphoma, an overactive thyroid, Parkinson's disease, fibromyalgia, congestive heart failure and side effects of certain medications.
Excessive perspiration of just the hands (palmoplantar hyperhidrosis) and the feet, however, is more likely to be caused by an overactive sympathetic nervous system. The condition is often made worse in situations where individuals are experiencing excessive emotional stress or anxiety -- such as work or certain personal and social situations.
I can't offer any specific medical advice without a personal consultation, but I advise you to consult with a board-certified dermatologist to discuss your specific sweating issues, and to explore whether a twice annual Botox treatment may be right for you.
MiraDry has only been FDA-cleared for the treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis, or excessively sweaty underarms. It is an excellent technology that may be available for treating excessive sweating in other areas at some future date. But until that day comes the two most commonly recommended treatments are Botox injections and a DIY treatment called "iontophoresis".
My first recommendation is to consult with a board-certified dermatologist to determine the cause of your sweating. It's important to rule out some potentially serious underlying conditions that are also associated with excessive sweating. One thing to keep in mind about hyperhidrosis is that localized sweating in just one area usually isn't serious, but full body, or "general hyperhidrosis", is potentially very serious.
If your hyperhidrosis isn't serious and caused by an overactive sympathetic nervous system (as is the most common cause of sweaty hands) your doctor may recommend Botox.
The procedure only takes 10 to 15 minutes and the improvements to sweating generally last somewhere between six and seven months.
That's a good thought, but the answer is unfortunately "no". MiraDry is an FDA-cleared, clinical treatment for primary hyperhidrosis of the armpits. It's a non-invasive solution that eliminates odor-producing sweat glands in the treatment area.
MiraDry works by directing very precise electromagnetic energy to the armpits. This EM energy is strong enough to permanently destroy the underarm sweat-producing glands. (The average human body has somewhere in the neighborhood of 2 million sweat glands, so eliminating a small number of them to reduce sweating is not dangerous). While MiraDry could theoretically treat palmar hyperhidrosis (sweaty hands), it has yet to be cleared in the United States for use on other parts of the body.
Until such time as MiraDry is approved for treating sweaty palms and feet, your best treatment options are Botox injections and home administered "iontophoresis".
Most people are familiar with Botox injections for cosmetic treatments of the face. The active ingredient in Botox (botulinum toxin) blocks the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and prevents facial muscles from contracting. While Botox is well-known to work wonders as a wrinkle fighter, it's also an excellent clinical treatment for the prevention of excessive sweating in cases of focal hyperhidrosis.
Iontophoresis on the other hand, is a home treatment that's been commonly used for over 75 years. It's been clinically shown to decrease sweating in the hands and feet with three self-administered electric water bath treatments per week. The process is simple and uses a mild electrical current to alter the permeability of the skin on your hands and feet. By changing the voltage gradient across the skin, transdermal drug transport across the skin barrier can be facilitated.
Iontophoresis does work to prevent sweaty hands and feet, but the number of required weekly treatments makes it an imperfect solution for many patients. It's no wonder patients often opt for the simplicity of a single Botox injection every 6 months instead. If your sweating problem is bothering you and you're interested in an easy, low maintenance solution, I encourage you to contact a board-certified dermatologist to discuss Botox injections today.
The best clinical treatments for excessively sweaty hands and feet are Botox and Dysport injections. Both Botox and Dysport are based on the same active ingredient of botulinum toxin, which blocks the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the treatment area.
Botox has been approved for the treatment of focal hyperhidrosis since 2004. The process is very quick -- often taking less than 20 minutes. During the procedure, your injector will carefully place approximately 20 small injections in each hand. To make the experience more comfortable, your doctor may use a topical anesthetic or numbing agent.
Side effects are minimal and may include some short-term weakness in your hands and a small amount of soreness following the procedure. In some cases you may experience mild bruising after your Botox injections. It's advisable to stop using blood thinners and NSAID's prior to Botox injections in order to reduce incidence of bruising.
In most cases, patients see a marked improvement within two to four weeks. The effects are usually long-lasting, with an average six months of sweat reduction. For many patients with serious sweating problems, regular bi-annual Botox treatments are a life-changer. Many of our patients report increased social confidence and greatly improved quality of life.
So to answer your question about MiraDry: The short answer is "no". MiraDry does not have FDA clearance for any areas other than armpits.
If you are interested in treating your sweaty hands and feet, I advise you to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon about Botox or Dysport injections. We have had excellent results with this treatment and I encourage anyone whose sweaty hands and feet are a chronic problem to learn more about Botox treatment.
Miradry does not yet have a means of treating excessive palmar sweating. Best options at this time are Botox injections or home iontophoresis treatments.
The company is currently researching other areas, such as the hands and feet per our MiraDry rep. I cannot recall which area they are currently trying to approve. With this in mind, I can only assume the hands and/ or feet may be offered in the near future?

On April 12, 1861, the War Between the States began. The Union and the Confederacy were at war with one another, tearing apart families: brother against brother, father against sons, and sometimes husbands against wives. As is in the cases of war, celebrations such as Christmas can be pushed aside. If anything, there is little for soldiers to celebrate anyway, being out in the cold, trying to stay warm by a fire or hurtling bullets at the enemy. If a war lasts long enough, hopelessness will set in among the soldiers and citizens alike.
Fast forward from April to July. Fanny Longfellow, the wife of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, had just cut some curls off one of their children's head. Wanting to preserve these curls, she poured melted wax over them from a lighted candle. Somehow, the fire from the candle touched the cloth of her dress and she immediately was set ablaze. Protecting her children, she ran to the next room–Henry's study–where he was taking a nap. Awoken, he grabbed a rug and began beating at the inferno that was his wife, but the flames would not be extinguished. He finally smothered them with his own body, severely burning himself in the process. One day later, July 10, 1861, Fanny succumbed to her burns. Henry was too burned to attend the funeral of the woman he loved so much for the 18 years they were married.
Two years later, 1863, Charles Longfellow, Henry's oldest son, enlisted in the Union army without his father's permission. He was commissioned as a lieutenant and was in the thick of battle. By December 1, Henry received word that his son was wounded in the Battle of Mine Run (November 27). He was shot through the left shoulder, nicking the spine, before exiting out the right shoulder. Lt. Longfellow was eventually taken to a hospital in Washington D. C. Henry actually arrived before his son, but when Charles did arrive an army surgeon told his father that the situation was grave and that his son may be paralyzed or perhaps die. Later, more-informed surgeons gave him better news; while the injury was serious, his son would live and most likely would not be paralyzed, though it would be a good six months before making a recovery.
Longfellow was in D.C. that Christmas as Charles was recovering. On Christmas morning, he heard the church bells rang and they inspired him to write a poem. Reading the stanzas, one can feel the struggle that went on within his soul. It was eventually set to music by John Baptiste Calkin in 1872, but the third and fourth stanzas, being predominately about the War, have been left out of most renditions. Incidentally, Longfellow had an iconic beard. It was not by choice. The flames that killed his wife, burned him so severely that he was no longer able to shave his face.
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
and wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Till ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound
The carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent,
And made forlorn
The households born
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth," I said;
"For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men."

The 2008 Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day assembly was dedicated to Exodus – 1948 and was held in the presence of Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and the Massuah Chairperson, Mr. Shraga Milstein.
During the moving ceremony six torches were lit by Yithak Ganuz, Shlomo Hameiri, Dvora Gelman-Spinner and Dr. Moshe Tiomkin, all Holocaust survivors who came to Eretz Israel aboard the Exodus. Among the other people who lit torches were Yitzhak (Ike) Aharonovitch, who was the captain of the ship, who lit a torch together with Galia Ashkenazi, who was born on board, and her sister Sima Stadler. The torch symbolizing revival was lit by the General Officer Commanding the South, Yoav Galant together with his mother, Fruma Segal-Galant, who came on the ship, and his daughter, Or.
Dr. Ephraim Sneh read the words his father, Moshe Sneh, had said to the illegal immigrants: "The eyes of the entire world are directed toward you, to these three banished ships in which you are imprisoned. Million of Jewish hearts all over the Diaspora are beating as one with your hearts. We are filled with pain and pride. Pain for your fate and our fate, and pride on your valiant opposition. Thanks to your strong spirit, due to your resolute decision to conquer for yourselves and for us our only homeland – Eretz Israel. Your story will be written in blood, sweat and tears, but it must end in victory.
Actors Yonah Elian-Keshet and Sason Gabi participated in the artistic program. Singer David D'or and the Liron Choir of Herzliah, conducted by Ronit Shapira participated.

In this world, no one is perfect, not even those famous people whom we idolize. We might think they are larger than life, but actually, they are just like us. These people are genius in their field, but in real life, they have their own crazy personal quirks. For example, the most celebrated artist of all time, Michelangelo, used to sleep in his clothes and boots. Unbelievable, isn't it? Keep reading this article to find out 10 such famous people and their weird quirks.
1. Charles Dickens was obsessed with his hair and couldn't stand having a stray hair. He kept his comb nearby and ran it through his hair hundreds of times a day.
Charles Dickens is regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. One of his widely popular novellas, A Christmas Carol, has been adapted to numerous media including ballet, animation, a Broadway musical, film, and television. His other novels such as Oliver Twist, Great Expectations and A Tale of Two Cities are still widely popular today. Even though his popularity was ever increasing, there are some characteristics of this famous writer that few people are aware of. Charles Dickens was an obsessive-compulsive. His obsession lay in looking in the mirror and combing his hair throughout the day. He couldn't stand the thought of any stray hair so combed his hair hundreds of time every day.
Charles Dickens was also obsessive about the direction in which he slept. He always slept with his head facing north. Even when he stayed at places other than his home, he made sure that his bed was aligned north-south. In his home, Dickens used to rearrange his furniture continuously. He couldn't concentrate on his work if all the furniture was not in the "correct" position. Also, Dickens was very particular about cleanliness, so much so that he would even clean other people's homes. (source)
2. Inventor and architect Richard Buckminster Fuller tried to document his life as completely as possible. Every 15 minutes from 1915 to his death in 1983, he recorded his life in his diary which he named "Dymaxion Chronofile." Ultimately, it contained 14,000 papers and is a staggering 82 meters high.
Born in 1895, Richard Buckminster Fuller was a famous American architect who invented numerous architectural designs. He is regarded as one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century. Fuller is also well known for extensively documenting his life. His work comprises of more than 140,000 papers and 1,700 hours of audio and video.
The files contain documentation back to when he was four years old. In 1917, Fuller seriously started documenting his life every 15 minutes in a large scrapbook. The documentation is known as the "Dymaxion Chronofile." It had been kept at the Stanford University Libraries Department of Special Collections since 1999. The scrapbook contains copies of bills, sketches, notes, newspaper clippings, blueprints, models, and all incoming and outgoing correspondence. The total collection amounts to about 270 feet of paper. (1, 2)
3. Nikola Tesla openly expressed disgust for overweight people. Once, he fired his secretary solely because of her weight.
Nikola Tesla, the famous Serbian-American inventor, and electrical engineer is best known for designing the modern alternating current electricity supply system. He never married as he believed that women were losing their femininity by being dominant and trying to outdo men. Tesla also admitted that remaining unmarried had helped him to improve his scientific abilities.
One of Tesla's quirks was that he never liked overweight people and openly expressed his disgust for them. He even fired one of his secretaries simply because she was overweight. Also, Tesla was quick to criticize the clothing of other people. There were numerous occasions when he directed his subordinate to go home and change her dress. (source)
4. Alfred Krupp was a German weapons manufacturer who was obsessed with the scent of manure. He found it invigorating and built his house above horse stables so he could directly vent the stable air into his offices.
The Krupp family of Prussia has served as Germany's chief weapon-smith in three major wars. One of their descendants, Alfred Krupp, is popularly known as "Kanonenkonig" or "Cannon King". He had many personality quirks, one of which was his fondness for the odor of manure. When he was building his lavish castle, Villa Hugel, the third-floor study was constructed over the stables. This was done to ensure that the smell of horse manure could waft up through vents in the floors and lubricate his imagination.
Another quirk of Alfred Krupp is related to pneumonia. He believed that drafts of air can cause pneumonia. Hence, he ordered that every window of Villa Hugel be permanently sealed. (source)
5. Beethoven routinely had the same breakfast each morning before he started working on his compositions. It included a cup of coffee which he prepared himself. He determined that there should be sixty beans per cup, and he often counted them out one by one for a precise dose.
In the world of music, few can be compared with Beethoven. This musical genius was as known for his musical prowess as for his notoriously temperamental behavior and habits. One of his quirks was that he had the same breakfast every single day. The breakfast included coffee which he usually prepared himself using a glass machine. For each cup, he used exactly sixty beans that he counted himself, especially when he was in the company of some guests.
Also, Beethoven hated authority and social rank. He was in favor of rejecting aristocracy. His hate can be gauged by the fact that he would stop playing if aristocrats talked during his performances. (1, 2)
6. US President Benjamin Harrison had electric lights installed in the White House but then would sleep with the lights on because he was too afraid to touch the switches.
The 23rd president of the United States, Benjamin Harrison, was the grandson of the ninth president, William Henry Harrison. He served as president from 1889 to 1893. During his presidency, he had electricity installed in the White House for the first time. The electricity was installed by Edison General Electric Company. Even though he had the lights installed, Benjamin and his wife were too afraid to touch the light switches due to their fear of electrocution. As a result, they would often go to sleep with the lights on. (source)
7. Friedrich Schiller, a German poet, used to keep rotten apples on his desk as he couldn't work without the stench.
Poet and playwright Friedrich Schiller is one of Germany's most famous personalities. Among his works, the most popular one is the "Ode to Joy" which was used by Beethoven in the final (fourth) movement of his 9th Symphony. Schiller had a very particular writing process and worked mostly at night. Also, he didn't like sunlight. That's why he hung red curtains in his study to prevent sunlight from entering the room.
One of Schiller's most peculiar habit was that he kept a drawer full of rotten apples in his study. He liked the awful aroma so much that when facing writer's block, he would open the drawer and inhale the pungent smell. Schiller claimed that the decaying scent helped him to work better as the aroma lingered in his head. (1, 2)
8. French novelist Honoré de Balzac consumed the equivalent of 50 cups of coffee a day at his peak. He did not drink coffee, however. He pulverized coffee beans into fine dust and ingested the dry powder on an empty stomach.
The early 19th-century French author Honoré de Balzac had legendary work habits. After having a light meal at five or six in the evening, he would go to sleep. His sleep lasted until midnight. Then he would start his work at 1 a.m. and continued till 8 a.m. or longer. Balzac could write quite rapidly even though he wrote using a quill. He composed his work at the pace of thirty words per minute on a modern typewriter.
To fuel his crazy schedule, Balzac consumed innumerable cups of black coffee. He liked his coffee as strong as possible and with little water. At other times, he would simply eat the coffee by converting the coffee beans into fine dust and ingesting it. Balzac loved his coffee so much that he even wrote about his addiction in a humorous essay titled "The Pleasures and Pains of Coffee."(source)
9. Henry Cavendish, one of the most influential physicists of his times, suffered from an extreme degree of shyness to the point that he communicated with his maids through notes to avoid talking to them directly.
Known throughout the world as the discoverer of hydrogen, Henry Cavendish was an English scientist. Along with his scientific prowess, he was known for his shyness. Suffering from what is known in modern times as "childhood autism," Cavendish always felt uncomfortable in society and tried avoiding it always. Regarded by many as eccentric, Cavendish had a very hard time communicating with women. He communicated with his female servants by notes. He even installed a back staircase in his house to avoid encountering his housekeeper.
But it was not only women; Cavendish was shy in front of unknown men too. He could only speak to one person at a time and only if he knew the person beforehand. Due to his taciturn and solitary nature, he never developed any deep personal attachment outside his family. (source)
10. The ancient Greek writer and orator Demosthenes would shave half his head to ensure he looked so idiotic that he would stay home and work.
Demosthenes was one of the legendary orators of ancient Athens. Due to his expert public speaking skills, some people considered him to be "the perfect orator." Demosthenes didn't have the ability of fluent speech from the very beginning. During his childhood, he used to stutter. To overcome it, he created his own speech therapy regimen. He practiced talking by putting pebbles in his mouth. Also, he used to recite verses while running along the seashore all the while shouting over the roar of the waves.
Demosthenes had an underground study built in his home. There, he used to practice his speech continuously for two to three months at a stretch. To avoid procrastination, he used to shave half his head so that he would not go outside due to shame and would be compelled to practice in his underground abode. The therapies and his eccentric head-shaving worked, and Demosthenes gave his first speech at the age of 20. (1, 2)

Office Designs to Boost Emotional Wellbeing & Creativity
Did you know that office design can impact the emotional wellbeing of employees? Well, research shows that certain office designs and décor can not only boost the emotional satisfaction of the employees but also act as a catalyst that promotes creativity and productivity. Scroll down to see how you can revamp a workspace to make sure your employees perform to their full potential in a relaxed and comforting environment.
Color Strategy
Colors have the ability to subtly alter the behavior of employees in any workplace. Experts believe that blue is the most "productive" color of all. If you are looking for a way to enhance productivity, incorporate loads of blue in your office design. However, it is advisable to introduce some warmer colors like orange as well to balance the design.
On the other hand, yellow can bring out the creativity in your employees. It is a color that stimulates the ego and gets the gears turning in your brain to bring forward the most creative ideas. If you want a relaxed environment, go for green! Keep in mind that every color has a distinct effect but none of them will work solo. An expert interior designer can help you incorporate the most effective colors in your workplace in a subtle way.
Nature and Natural Light
An office devoid of distractions like pictures or souvenirs is a "toxic" workplace design. It hampers not only the creativity of the employees but also their emotional wellbeing. Therefore, it is advisable to introduce real or artificial plants in the workplace to increase the overall job satisfaction and productivity of the employees. Similarly, allowing natural light in the workplace also has a number of benefits including improved health, enhanced mood and increased productivity among the employees.
Collaboration Zones
An area designated for collaborative work is as important as a solo space. Cubicles are gradually becoming a thing of the past as many companies, including bigwigs like Google are adopting fun, creative and spacious workplace designs. Therefore, it is advisable to provide both solo and communal spaces in the office. Also, promote the use of technology like audio and video conferencing tools in meeting rooms and informal gathering spaces to keep the employees connected and informed at all times.
It's time you offer your employees a better office design to boost their emotional wellbeing and originality. If you are looking to revamp a business workplace in Orlando, call the team at Interior Contract Services to foster positive emotions and creativity while alleviating stress in your office space.

Theresa May will urge EU leaders meeting in Brussels to create a new sanctions regime to crack down on governments found responsible for cyber-attacks.
Amid growing fears about Russian meddling in foreign elections, including in Europe, and attempted cyber-attacks, most recently on the chemical weapons watchdog in the Netherlands, the prime minister will call on her fellow leaders to take tougher action.
"Individual efforts to protect ourselves, and to call out irresponsible behaviour, are not enough," she is expected to say. "Malign cyber activity causes harm to our economies, and undermines our democracies. As well as protecting ourselves against attack, we must impose proportionate consequences on those who would do us harm."
The Dutch and British governments published details this month of an attempted Russian cyber-attack on the international chemical weapons watchdog, the OPCW.
The incident, which was thwarted with the help of British intelligence officials, came after the Sandworm cybercrime unit of the GRU had attempted unsuccessfully to hack the UK Foreign Office in March and the Porton Down chemical weapons facility in April.

A Person as a Lifetime: An Aristotelian Account of Persons
- Publish Date: 2016-03-03
- Binding: Hardcover
- Author: Stephanie M. Semler
Arrives in 3-7 Business Days
Is it possible to derive a viable definition of persons from Aristotles work? In A Person as a Lifetime: An Aristotelian Account of Persons, Stephanie M. Semler argues that we can. She finds the component parts of this definition in his writing on ethics and metaphysics, and the structure of this working definition is that of an entire lifetime. If J.O. Urmson is right that [t]o call somebody a eudaimon is to judge his life as a whole, then a Greek, and by extension an Aristotelian account of personhood would be a description of an entire human life. Likewise, the evaluation of that life would have to be done at its termination.
The concept of persons is at least as much a moral one as it is a metaphysical one. For this reason, Semler contends that an important insight about persons is to be found in Aristotles ethical works. The significance of judging one to be a eudaimon is in understanding that the life is completethat is, it has a beginning, middle, and an end, with the same person at the helm for the duration. If we know what Aristotles requirements are for a human lifetime is to have all of these features, it follows that we can derive an Aristotelian concept of persons from it. We find the benefit of such an investigation when the difficulties with issues surrounding personal identity seem to indicate that either personal identity must inhere in the physical body of a person, or that, on pain of a view that resembles dualism, it simply doesnt exist.
A Person as a Lifetime will be of particular interest to students and scholars of philosophy, history, classics, and psychology, and to anyone with an interest in Aristotle.

Super Detox Charcoal Body Scrub
Regular price
We re-formulated the Scrub for better spreadability and a thicker scrub. For maximum effectiveness, use it on dry skin before getting into the shower. Once the scrub hits water, the sea salt will dissolve and lose its scrub-ability. We added Mango Butter and Shea Butter to help nourish rough, dry skin and Kaolin to help further clarify affected areas. Because the new formula is more dense and we use only the best possible natural and organic ingredients available, we moved the Scrub into an 8 oz container. There are just as many uses in this jar as there were before. And a little goes a long way.
This 2 in 1 body scrub and cleanser gives skin a thorough purge and clearing with the help of clarifying Sea Salt and deep cleansing and detoxifying Activated Bamboo Charcoal Powder. Extremely fine grain granules of Pacific Ocean and Himalayan Pink Salt thoroughly exfoliate skin without irritating. Bamboo Charcoal whisks away dirt and excess oil to help clear bacne and other body breakouts. The gentle Organic Lavender Scent calms, soothes and helps you mentally reset while you scrub.
+ Made in small batches with TLC by the clariSEA Crew.
+ 100% Natural & Naturally Derived.
+ Vegan, Cruelty Free & Leaping Bunny Certified.
+ Naturally scented with Organic Lavender Oil.
Alison Says:
Now we've added the magical skin clearing benefits of Activated Bamboo Charcoal to our sulfate free, paraben free whipped body scrub for clearer body skin too. Rub it all over before you get in the shower and then maybe a little more when you're in there. It's too hard to only use a salt scrub in the shower, especially this one because of the creamy base. To really get the benefit of the ingredients, you need to scrub it in for longer than the shower water will allow.
How To Use:
For maximum skin clarity, use on dry skin before getting into shower. Repeat 3-4 times per week.

I attended my first holiday party of the season Nov. 10 at the headquarters of Baby2Baby, a nonprofit organization that provides low-income children with basic necessities such as diapers, clothing and other day-to-day essentials. The headquarters were transformed into a winter wonderland where 40 tiny guests of honor were treated to an afternoon of holiday magic with crafts, refreshments, music, a performance of The Nutcracker, and even a visit from Santa.
Actress Julie Bowen of "Modern Family" hosted the party, and got crafty making paper gingerbread houses with the children. Bowen has been a Baby2Baby supporter since shortly after her first son, Oliver, was born in 2008 . "Baby2Baby first started with three women who were literally driving around town to peoples' garages in SUVs and emptying everything out and taking donations to homeless shelters," says Bowen. "Then Kelly [Sawyer Patricof] and Norah [Weinstein] took over in 2011, and they have just rocketed the whole thing and taken it to 11. It's been amazing what they've done."
The children in attendance, many of whom have been living at an area shelter, were from Telfair Elementary School in L.A. "We are so grateful to Baby2Baby for providing students living in difficult circumstances a wonderful holiday experience they might otherwise not have," says LAUSD Counselor, Stephan Blustajn, LCSW, who helped coordinate the event. "Because many of the students here today are in transitional housing, living in a shelter or living doubled up with other families, it's wonderful to give them a joyful and memorable experience."
The party also premiered designer Jill Smith's exclusive holiday card collection for online stationery shop Tiny Prints, with a portion of the proceeds going to Baby2Baby. The partnership between the companies is a long-standing one, but this is the first holiday collection that will benefit the organization. "Tiny Prints has been a tremendous partner and incredibly generous," said Kelly Sawyer Patricof, Baby2Baby's co-president. "From sponsoring playdates and the upcoming gala to donating birth announcements and holiday card sales, the Baby2Baby Team and our Angel Supporters are extremely grateful for their support."
