As the world grows smaller and my patient population more wonderfully diverse, I've been stretched to learn more about the traditional practices of Eastern Medicine. Although I take a holistic approach to treating osteoporosis, I have come to realize that I still continue to live in the realm of science and not the non-physical essence of the body. Western Medicine looks at the body as machine, each organ a gear that must turn correctly for the machine to work. Eastern medicine looks at the person as an extension of all life and effected by all entities on earth, and to be truly healthy, needs to be balanced within as well as with the surrounding environment. Is there as benefit to integrating Eastern Medicine into the treatment of osteoporosis?
Western medicine looks at the bones as cold, hard, rigid structures that simply need minerals and medications to stay strong. Eastern medicine views the bones as an integrative organ of the body that in order to stay strong, needs to remain balanced by the correct foods and energy. Western medicine views osteoporosis as a normal part of aging. In Eastern medicine, bone loss is seen as a larger pattern of diminishing overall health being created by imbalance in the body.
Let's take a look at how various Traditional Medicine practices treat Osteoporosis:
Traditional Iranian Medicine:
In Traditional Iranian Medicine (TIM) it is believed that the human body is a combination of four elements known as "Anasoor-e-Char-Ganeh". These elements are water, air, dust, and fire. All people are a combination of these four factors, giving us all unique characteristics called Mizajs.
Warm + Dry = Element of Fire
Warm + Moist = Element of Air
Cold + Dry = Element of Dust
Cold + Moist = Element of Water
According to Abu Ali Sina, who is regarded as one of the most significant Persian physicians of the Islamic Golden Age and the Father of early modern medicine, dust and water are considered the heavy elements that make up our physical body and air and fire are known as light elements that make our psyche.
Every organ and body tissue also has a Mizaj which dictates its Warmness or Coldness. Bones, teeth, fingernails, and hair all have cold and dry Mizaj. They are heavy, firm and rigid. In order to build strong bones and teeth as adolescents one must consume foods with a cold and dry Mizaj such as yogurts, wheat, rice bran, and barley. However, as we age, it is believed that we become excessively cold and dry leading to wrinkles, poor digestive system and porous bones. So adding warmer foods to our diet to balance the Mizaj would be more appropriate.
Warmer foods include the following:
Herbs: Dried Oregano, fennel seeds, bay leaves, spearmint, mint, mustard seeds, rose petals, dill weed, cilantro
Spices: cinnamon, saffron, ginger, green and black cumin seeds, black, white, red pepper, cacao, cardamom, cloves, vanilla, black seeds,
Vegetables: Onion, garlic, carrots
Fruits: figs, grapes, raisin, apples
Nuts: Almonds and walnuts
You can also temper colder foods by combining them with warmer foods. For instance rice should be made with cinnamon, saffron, cumin seeds to get rid of "cold" nature of rice; cheeses must be eaten with walnuts, oregano, mint, cumin.
Traditional Chinese Medicine:
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) focuses on 3 vital substances, known as "The Three Treasures."
Vital Energy (Qi)
Essence (Jing)
Spirit (Shen)
Together, they form the foundation for understanding the human body and guide the healing practices of TCM.
Jing is regarded the essence of life because it nourishes, fuels, and cools the body. It is believed to reside in the kidneys and in TCM, the kidneys are in charge of the bones. As jing diminishes with age, there is a loss of kidney qi (energy) and blood stagnation, resulting in lower bone density. Strengthening kidney function through food and herbs is considered to be a main principle in TMC to addressing bone loss.
Foods to nourish the kidneys:
Fruits: berries and other dark colored fruits
Vegetables: sweet potatoes and asparagus. Also
Nuts and seeds: Black sesame seeds, walnuts
Spices: ginger, licorice,
Herbs are also used to strengthen the kidneys, build qi, and work towards regeneration of new bone:
Foxglove (Rehmannia glutinosa)
Horny goat weed (Epimedium saggitatum)
Goji berry (Lycium barbarum)
Red Sage (Salvia miltiorrhiza)
Recently, in an animal study, a compound found in red sage has been shown to block an enzyme that is responsible for the breakdown of collagen in bones during osteoporosis.
There's no single, most effective Chinese herbal therapy for bones because the herbs need to be tailored to individual needs. If interested, do contact a knowledgeable practitioner that can formulate a herbal remedy specifically for you. I am not an TCM practitioner, so I am not advising you to go out and purchase these herbs.Other TCM practices that aim to improve Jing and Qi include acupuncture and massage.
Traditional Indian Medicine:
Ayurveda, is the traditional Indian Medicine. The term "ayurveda" can be defined as knowledge (veda) of the lifespan (ayu). In Ayurveda, the elements are coded into three forces, which govern all life processes. These three forces, kapha, pitta and vata, are known as the three doshas. These three doshas regulate every physiological and psychological process in the body. Every person has a dominant dosha, and an imbalance manifests as a sign or symptom of disease.
The three doshas are made up of five elements:
Vata has qualities reflecting the elements of space and air
Pitta has qualities reflecting elements of fire and water
Kahpha has qualities reflecting elements of water and earth
Each of these doshas have very different characteristics and although every person carries all 3 doshas within them, one dosah usually dominates. Each dosah also influences different body organs, so for instance, the main locations of the Vata in the body are the colon, thighs, bones, joints, ears, skin, brain and nerve tissues.
From an Ayurvedic point of view, menopause marks a natural transition from a pitta predominant phase of a woman's life to a vata predominant phase. Vata, when it is in excess, has a catabolic effect on the body tissues, leading to bone loss.
Vata can be brought back into balance by eating the right foods:
Some of the key foods include:
Fruits: berries, avocado, peach, dates
Vegetables: sweet potatoes, beets, watercress
Legumes: red lentils
Grains: wild rice
Nuts: pistachios
Also choose warm and cooked foods, like nourishing soups and stews, over cold, raw foods. If you are to eat a raw vegetable salad be sure to add a spicy olive oil dressing to it.
According to Ayurveda, foods that specifically nourish bone tissue include: spelt, black grapes, radish, beetroot, sugar cane, garlic and ginger.
How can we integrate Traditional Eastern Medicine philosophies to enhance bone health?
- Understand that your body can heal itself, if balanced correctly, which means nourishing your mind, body and soul.
- Realize that your body isn't just a machine, but a living energetic entity that is affected by all life and elements around us, and there is a balance that each of us must find to be truly healthy.
- If you have a strong genetic makeup of one particular culture, follow the diet and rituals of your ancestors. What did you grandmother or great grandmother cook? Those are the foods that will best nourish your body and bones.
- Incorporate the foods, herbs, spices suggested by these ancient practices to help balance your Mizajs, Doshas and support the your Kidney Qi.
- Common to all philosophies: cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, garlic, root vegetables, nuts and seeds, olive oil, figs, and grapes
Many traditional practices continue to exist today, despite the advances in conventional medicines. Why? Because despite lacking in scientific research to support them, they work! As our community expands to all corners of the earth, this the prime time to embrace traditional medicine practices that have been the foundation of healing and health for hundred's of centuries. If you are interested in better understanding any of these practices, I encourage to seek out a practitioner that specializes in these traditional medicines. For your bones and your body to truly heal, they need to be nourished by nutrition and exercise, but also through vibrant energy and spirt.

I've been here today to talk about books and writing. Pop by and say hello!
I'm thrilled to have a visitor. The kettle has boiled and the cuppas are poured. A little treat, Sue? Right. Let's go.
Welcome to my blog Sue.
Thank you so much for inviting me to visit Let's Have Words. I love reading your blog and seeing your gorgeous photos, so I'm rapt to be here, and particularly glad to start the Pan's Whisper Blog Tour with you!
Pan Harris is is brash, loud and damaged. Ordered into foster care, Pan is full of anger at the mother who abandoned her, and the older sister who kept her from her father. Pan is certain that she knows the reality of her past – until she meets Hunter, the boy who understands her story better than anyone else, and who just may be the key to unlocking the truth of Pan's memories. But are some memories best left forgotten? And is Hunter worth Pan breaking her most important rule – Never. Trust. Anyone.
3. Do you walk the landscape of your stories before you write? Are they
actual places, an amalgam of places, or do you construct them entirely?
5. Pan's strongest rule is 'Don't. Trust. Anyone.' How important do you
think trust is for teenagers – for anyone really?
6. How hard and how important is it to make a character like Pan
likeable? Particularly at the beginning of the novel when the reader is
exposed only to her anger.
For me it's vital that the reader feels for Pan and cares about not only why she is angry, but how she will deal with it. For me, I try to really get inside the character, in this case, Pan's head, so I fully understand why they are behaving like they are. Knowing where she has come from and how hurt she has been helps me present her sympathetically – I think. Also, I try to show the reader what I know – that Pan is insecure, vulnerable and very hurt.
Thanks for visiting Sue. Good luck with the rest of the tour, and with Pan's Whispers.

A Look at Trump's Meeting With Korea's Kim Ying-chol
U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday met for 80 minutes in the Oval Office with a general he described as the second most powerful man in North Korea. Afterward, Trump told reporters on the White House South Lawn that the June 12 summit in Singapore between him and North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, was back on.
This is what President Trump told the media about their Oval Office Meeting.
President Trump: We'll be meeting on June 12 in Singapore. It went very well. It's really a get-to-know-you kind of a situation. Mike has spent two days doing this. We've gotten to know their people very well. And we will � you people are going to have to travel because you'll going to be in Singapore on June 12. And I think it'll be a process. It's not � I never said it goes in one meeting. I think it's going to be a process. But the relationships are building, and that's a very positive thing.
Question: You appeared to question their sincerity in your letter to Kim Jong Un last week. Have they gone far enough now, are they sincere?
President Trump: Well, don't forget, my letter was a response to their letter. The media forgot that, you know. The media said, 'Oh, you had a meeting and then you canceled.' I didn't cancel the meeting. I canceled it in response to a very tough statement, and I think we're over that, totally over that. And now we're going to deal, and we're really going to start a process. We're meeting with the chairman on June 12, and I think it's going to be a very successful, ultimately a successful process. We'll see. Remember what I say, we will see what we will see. But I think it's going to be a process that we deserve to have, I mean we really deserve to have. They want it, we think it's important, and I think we would be making a big mistake if we didn't have it. I think we're going to have a relationship, and it'll start on June 12.
Question: Do you believe Kim is committed to denuclearization?
President Trump: Yeah, I do think so. He'd like to see it happen. He wants to be careful, he wants to be, you know, he's not going to run and do things, but I told him look, to be honest with you, we have sanctions on, they're very powerful sanctions. We would not take sanctions off unless they do that, but the sanctions are very powerful. You've seen how powerful. In other ways, you're going to see how powerful sanctions are when it comes to Iran. You see what that's doing to Iran. So we have sanctions on, and at a certain point, I'll tell you what, I look forward to the day when I can take the sanctions off of North Korea.
Question: Yesterday you were concerned about the meeting Lavrov was having with Kim Jong Un.
President Trump: I didn't like it.
Question: Where are you on that today?
President Trump: I didn't like it, but it could be very positive, too. I didn't like the Russian meeting yesterday. I said 'What's the purpose of that?' But it could be a positive meeting. If it's a positive meeting, I love it. If it's a negative meeting, I'm not happy, and it could very well be a positive meeting.

Online Pharmacy's Founders Unfazed by Disappointing IPO
The co-founders of one of China's early e-commerce hits are optimistic that their online drugstore will be the next big thing as the country's health care market liberalizes, even after their shares dipped on their Nasdaq debut.
Shares of 111 Inc., which operates an online drugstore and clinic, as well as offline pharmacies, closed down 1.43% at $13.80 on its trading debut Wednesday, below its initial public offering (IPO) price of $14.
"Our focus is on the value creation of our business and we don't really pay too much attention to short-term stock prices," Liu Junling, 111's co-founder, chairman and CEO, told Caixin after the market closed.
Liu and fellow 111 founder Yu Gang saw the way the wind was blowing when China's e-commerce sector was just taking off back in 2008, setting up Yihaodian, one of the country's first online grocery stores.
111 was initially Yihaodian's drugstore before being spun off when Walmart invested in the marketplace in 2011 due to regulatory restrictions on foreign involvement in health care. In 2015, Walmart took full control of Yihaodian before selling it to rival JD.com Inc. a year later.
The company's name is a pun, as one possible Chinese pronunciation of "111" sounds like the word for medicine repeated three times.
Executive Chairman Yu told Caixin that during the IPO roadshow, one of the questions investors asked most often was about regulation. He told Caixin that is "a super-excellent moment to enter the pharmacy sector" and indicated that there is no plan to sell the company.
The size of China's general health and wellness market was $1.5 trillion in 2017 and is expected to reach $2.6 trillion in 2022, representing an annual growth rate of 12.1%, and the sector is shifting from a hospital-centered model to a consumer-centered one, according to consultancy Frost & Sullivan.
Several policies are likely to boost the industry, such as the national government's stipulation that drug sales can't account for more than 30% of the revenue of public hospitals. The rule was implemented in major cities last year, paving the way for a boom in independent drugstores, and will eventually become nationwide.
Hospitals have traditionally held a monopoly over prescription drug sales, giving them the power to impose markups on prices to boost their revenue and an incentive to prescribe pricier drugs, but an August health ministry document allowed online drugstores to handle prescriptions for some common chronic diseases.
Despite these measures, 111 is not yet profitable. The company lost $19 million in the first half of 2018, 5% more than a year before, although its revenue grew 68% to $110 million.
It isn't the only money-losing company in the industry. Neither of its major online drugstore rivals, Alibaba Health Information Technology Ltd. and Ping An Healthcare and Technology Co. Ltd., have turned a profit.
Liu argued that 111 is differentiating itself from its peers by building an integrated online-offline platform. It not only runs online pharmacies, but also an online wholesale mall that provides medicines to more than 100,000 pharmacies. It was also running 12 of its own branded pharmacies in four Chinese cities by the end of June, according to the company's prospectus.
But the industry in China is still fragmented and a leader is yet to emerge. According to Frost & Sullivan, the top three retail pharmacies account for 5.4% of the market share in China, as compared with 82% in the United States in 2017.

Derelict Welsh tunnel set to become the longest cycle route of its kind in Europe
Breathing new life into former industrial sites can offer visitors exciting new experiences and provide a huge boost for the local economy. The Rhondda tunnel in South Wales is currently undergoing extensive surveying as part of plans to re-open it as a cycle route. At 3,148m (nearly 2 miles) the cycle route would be the longest of it's kind in Europe.
The Victorian tunnel has stood derelict since coal trains ceased to travel from the mines of the Rhondda to Swansea Bay. The entrances at either end were buried and could have been long forgotten were it not for a dedicated community group who formed the Rhondda Tunnel Society and set out to re-open the tunnel in it's entirety. Funded by a £90K grant, survey teams have been carrying out full inspections of the tunnel between the Rhondda and Afan valleys and report that it is in remarkably good condition considering that it has been buried and largely forgotten for almost 50 years.
The tunnel is currently owned by Highways England who are willing to hand it over to the local authorities. Excavated spoil would be used to make the surrounding ground suitable for constructing visitor centres, parking and campsites at either end.
Whilst lagging behind our European counterparts, leisure cycling continues to grow in the UK. In 2015, Sustrans estimated that leisure and tourism cycling on the National Cycle Network supported over 15,000 jobs and directly contributed £650m to the economy each year. The sustainable transport charity recently produced a report suggesting that a proposal to reopen the Queensbury Tunnel in West Yorkshire as a cycle route could deliver £37.6m worth of economic, health and tourism benefits over 30 years.
Previous success stories include the Two Tunnels cycle route which opened in Bath in 2013. The Combe Down tunnel is now a visitor attraction in its own right and features an interactive light and sound installation.
In 2011 The Monsal trail opened on the old Midland Railway line in the Derbyshire Peak District. In 2016 over 120,000 cycle movements were recorded, making it one of the national park's most popular attractions.
Planning Solutions Consulting can advise on all aspects of visitor attraction planning and operations. To find out more please director Richard Linington on 023 9248 1999 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

text: There were probably far more new homes completed in Hungary in 2005 than the 41,000 registered by the Central Statistics Office (KSH), László Borsi, head of the Home and Building Office, told a conference on Friday. Borsi explained that home builders probably delayed putting homes onto the market until after the reduction in Hungary's main VAT rate at the start of the year. There were 41,084 new homes that came on the market in 2005, KSH reported on Thursday. It said there were 51,490 new home building permits issued during the same year. Statistics from the first quarter of 2006 will give a more accurate picture of the actual number of homes completed at the end of last year, Borsi said. According to building companies' figures, about 500 new homes were sold in Budapest in Q4 2005, reducing the total number of unsold flats to 2,000, Tibor Nagygyörgy, president-CEO of real estate company Otthon Centrum, told the conference. He added that 80% of new homes were sold when finished.

Wherever I lay my hat
Indian notebook 2
High in the uplands of Kerala, surrounded by acres of tea plantations, sits the town of Munnar. We were visiting anyway and, prompted by a friend who grew up there and whose father was a tea planter, we searched out the High Range Club, an unreformed relic of the imperial age. In the bar, surrounded by the stuffed heads of tigers and leopards, we found her father's hat. Anyone who was a member for 30 years or more was entitled to have their hat hung on the wall. The hats are still there, but not the culture that engendered the Club. [read more]
My first Noël
Until 2007, I had spent every Christmas Day of my life at the same house in London: 58 Christmases in all. It was lovely, if predictable. Since then, since the death of my parents, I have gone mad and sampled the day at three different locations. This year marks the fourth, and the first I have spent abroad. This year we are in France.

1 July 2016
At 07:28 last Friday, 1 July, I was standing with hundreds of others on the edge of the Lochnagar Crater, near La Boisselle in the valley of the Somme, scattering the petals of poppies into the wind. It was at this place, and at this time, 100 years earlier, that the Battle of the Somme commenced. A vast mine had been laid by the Royal Engineers, and it was the detonation of the mine that acted as the signal for this part of the British offensive. [read more]

Well, I am pleased to hear that you are an ambitious lot from what I have heard back from you asking about your swimming goals! It seems that a good number of you are keen to improve your swimming speed and efficiency this winter in preparation for a mix of standard to long distance triathlon races already planned for next year. Those who have said how much time they want to save have been pretty realistic, on the whole, but also ambitious to make significant improvements, which is really good to hear.
Having set a swimming goal for the winter the next thing is to determine the major challenges you need to overcome. If your swimming fitness is the major challenge then how are you going to make time for sessions without compromising your running and cycling? If technique is your major challenge then how are you going to determine what improvements you need to make and make enough time to practice them? How are you going to measure your progress and whether or not any changes are working?
You have a good mix of sessions that we provide at the Triathlon Club to support you in your goals as well as other good swimming specialists such as Ed's Elite Swimming Academy and the City of Cambridge Masters Swimming Club. I recommend you choose the appropriate mix of sessions to support what you need and with the Saturday sessions I plan to do the following:
- I will aim to have at least one underwater camera at all of the Saturday sessions before Christmas for those of you that want to be filmed and get some feedback on your stroke.
- Various combinations of Chrissie, Simon and myself will be at as many Saturday sessions as possible in the lead up to Christmas to give you more options to get some coaching on your stroke.
- I will run some more time trials in sessions over the Winter to help you measure your progress and what sort of effect and changes in your stroke are making. I will announce these in advance, for those that don't want to do this, but will also look at changing the format a bit so we can fit them into a session alongside other training. Watch this space for more details!
In the session this week we will be doing some more front crawl technique focusing on the catch so please think really hard about keeping your elbow close to the surface of the water when you do the catch. You can watch this short video of Rebecca Adlington for a fantastic example of this here.
As well as the technique work we will also be doing a nice long set of 100s with a few IMs thrown in for fun. But, please, please, please really try and think about your technique during the main sets as this is where you can really get a lot of benefit by locking in improvements in your technique as part of longer sets.
See you Saturday,

Landmark Mojave - Long Sleeve
Regular price $40.00
Our ponderosa logo is given new life in Landmark's Mojave desert-inspired design. The ink colors recall brilliant red sand dunes and all shades of alpenglow against dark desert skies. This is made even better by the fact it comes on a luxuriously soft, long sleeve pocket tee.
Quick Specs:
- Unisex Sizing / Standard Tee Fit
- 100% cotton
How to Care for Your Tee
We get it, you want to wear your Landmark Tee every chance you get. Although your t-shirt will inevitably show some wear and tear as the years go by (and we urge you to cherish these signs of continual devotion), there are some ways to extend the life of your t-shirt. So if you're wondering how to care for a screen-printed t-shirt properly, here's some tried-and-true tips and tricks.
1. Stick with cold water.
Hot water is very harsh and typically unnecessary. By using cold water, you'll be treating your tees to a gentler bath and preventing unnecessary strain. Plus, you'll use less electricity, reducing your impact on the environment and lowering your utility bill!
2. Avoid harsh cleaning products.
Put away the bleach and avoid harsh detergents. Like hot water, they aren't needed and they may slowly destroy the condition of your t-shirts. Instead, find a gentle detergent and use a basic (no bleach) stain remover when necessary.
3. Turn your tees inside out.
It only takes a moment to turn your screen-printed tees inside out before placing them in the washing machine (or under a hot iron), but this simple step will reduce fading and stress. If the quality of the screen-printed design is important to you, reduce its contact with the washing machine to ensure that the ink won't be strained. Speaking of which . . .
4. Don't wash after every use.
Some of you are probably recoiling in disgust right now, but remember that every time you wash and dry your clothes, you're speeding up the aging process. If your t-shirt is truly dirty (i.e., there is visible dirt, a stain, or a smell), wash it. If not, fold it back up and return it to your closet.
5. Dry on low heat.
Heat is your t-shirt's worst enemy. In addition to avoiding hot water, keep your tee away from high-heat dryer settings. Instead, tumble dry low to prevent damage as well as shrinkage.

Former Homeless Man Using Web to Raise Awareness
After getting his life back together as a video producer, he found himself unemployed once again in November 2008. But instead of letting himself return to his homeless past, he took his two last possessions -- a camera and laptop -- and hit the streets.
Horvath went to shelters, tent cities and Skid Row finding, meeting and interviewing the homeless. He launched InvisiblePeople.TV as a hub to share their stories and videos.
"The goal is to make the 'invisible people' in society more visible by bringing them out of the shadows where they are ignored," said Horvath. "We're using social media to expose the pain, hardship and hopelessness that millions of people face each day."
He also started tweeting his journey in real time under the names @invisiblepeople and @hardlynormal. People started taking notice and Horvath started to be asked to speak at social-media-for-social-good conferences.
He began his third road trip July 21. Armed with a camera, laptop and smartphone, he's making his way across the United States. For 72 days, he will be documenting as many stories as he can. With YouTube featuring him on its front page, he has also become the top-subscribed non-profit channel this week and the 33rd of all time. I spoke to him while he was making a stop in Wilmington, Ohio, where about 8,000 jobs were lost in January 2009 when DHL closed its U.S. freight hub in the town with a population of 12,000.
"60 Minutes" | Wilmington, Ohio's Long Recession
Hard-Hit Town Can't Salvage DHL Jobs
"60 Minutes" | Economic Storm Batters Ohio Town
"Social media is free," said Horvath. "It's really a conversation about change. So when these videos are viewed, people get to see really what homelessness is all about and that's when the real change can happen."
In March, Horvath won Pepsi's Refresh Project, which had thousands of non-profits vying for a cash prize. He is hoping to use that money to launch his latest endeavor, a non-profit called We Are Visible, which will teach social media and digital literacy to homeless people.

Toyota Camry Turbo Puts Down 728 Horsepower [Video]
Most people's conception of tuner cars are brightly colored Honda Civics or other econoboxes with underbody neon lights, not to mention the requisite loud muffler.
But this heavily modified Toyota Camry has enough horsepower on hand to beat down nearly anything on four wheels, without giving away anything visually.
This mid-1990s Toyota Camry has a specially designed turbocharger setup mated to its 3.0L V6, with a giant T51 turbocharger helping to crank out the astronomical power figures. Check out the video below to see the Camry doing its thing on a dyno.

Associate Professor of Anthropology and Social Sciences in the College; Director of Graduate Studies
PhD, New York University, 2004
Julie Y. Chu is a sociocultural anthropologist with interests in mobility and migration, economy and value, ritual life, material culture, media and technology, and state regulatory regimes. Her book, Cosmologies of Credit: Transnational Mobility and the Politics of Destination in China (Duke University Press, 2010), received the 2011 Sharon Stephens Prize from the American Ethnological Society and the 2012 Clifford Geertz Prize from the Society for the Anthropology of Religion. It was also shortlisted for the 2011 Gregory Bateson Prize from the Society of Cultural Anthropology. Her current writing project is entitled The Hinge of Time: Infrastructure and Chronopolitics at China's Global Edge. Based on three years of fieldwork largely among Chinese customs inspectors and transnational migrant couriers, this work will analyze the various infrastructures in place (legal-rational, financial, cosmic, piratical) for managing the temporal intensities and rhythms of people and things on the move between Southern China and the United States. A graduate of NYU's Program in Culture and Media, she is also currently completing video projects related to her fieldwork as well as developing a new ethnographic focus on Chinese soundscapes, especially in relation to the changing qualities and valuations of the Chinese concept of renao (热闹, a bustling scene, social liveliness or, literally, "heat and noise").

Indian Tribal Women
Indian Tribal Women constitute almost half of the tribal population. Their stipulations vary from tribe to the tribe. Their social status fluctuates in various tribal groups.
Share this Article :
Indian tribal women comprise almost half of the total population and are less literate than men. Moreover, they face several problems related to reproductive health. With primary and secondary subsistence activities taken into account, Indian tribal women work harder than men. Status of tribal women fluctuates in various tribal societies. To ascertain the status of Indian tribal women in the ecological regions, their position can be divided as daughter, unmarried woman, married woman, widow, divorcee and infertile woman. Function of women is important in economic, social and domestic activities. Gradual development and economic changes influence men and women in diverse ways. Despite the new wave of modernisation, Indian tribal women are essentially traditional in their language, dress, tools and resources.
India has observed unequal distribution of resources and this is very apparent by the fact that a tribal mother is over 12 times less likely to be delivered by a medically trained person. A tribal woman is one and a half times more likely to suffer the consequences of chronic malnutrition as compared to women from other social categories.
History of Indian Tribal Women
In tribal society women are not treated as inferior to their male counterparts. This status of the tribal women is in existence from ancient times as can be seen from rock paintings found in India. These paintings were executed as early as 5 to 50 centuries BC. In the scenes that depict every day life, women are shown to be involved in food gathering, basket weaving, singing and dancing. Pregnant women, women giving birth, and nursing mothers are also depicted. This perhaps indicates that the women represented fertility, motherhood and were the progenitors of the tribe.
Types of Indian Tribal Women
The tribal people of India have been in contact with the urban society, for a very long time and have been greatly influenced by them. Tribes-people like the
, and Halbi almost live like Hindus do in the outside world. There are still a few tribes in the Bastar district of
Madhya Pradesh
that are totally unaffected by developmental programs. The tribes of the
Bastar District
are mostly confined to Narayanpur tehsil (county). Their everyday activities are very well coordinated and inter-linked. Irrespective of one's gender, every person has a vital role to play in the welfare of the community.
Indian Tribal Women in Bastar
These women not only perform duties of a tribal housewife, but also assist their spouse in all agricultural activities. Material wealth and riches are not the indices of happiness to the Indian tribal woman. Fond of ornaments, a typical tribal woman has just a piece of coarse cloth to cover her womanhood. Poverty redefines her womanliness, her sheer existence. They usually contain some bangles, earrings and necklaces made of cheap metal. These women are rather cheerful and light-hearted, without much perturbed by the intricacies of life. Sheer poverty cannot keep them aloof from the minimum standard of living. They are much complacent with the life they have lived and are living irrespective of the hardships, the inhuman struggle they indulge in.
Indian Tribal Women in Ghotul
The female workers of the Ghotul are known as Motiyaris and they are assigned important administrative duties at the Ghotul. They are responsible for the general cleanliness of the building and premises, the punctual arrival of members, the taking of the attendance, the supervision of sitting arrangements, and the assurance of liberal supply of fire wood, mustard oil,
and landra. Each girl has to attend to a male member of the Ghotul. The mother teaches the girl child all the rules so that she can enter the Ghotul. A woman has a free hand to select her groom and is never compelled to marry a man against her choice. Child marriage is not permissible either.
At times the tribes also run into marital problems. If a husband turns out to be brutal, crude, insane, impotent, unfaithful, criminal or diseased, then the wife has every right to complain about him to the tribal head Manji (or Patel). He in turn assembles his advisory council and gives an opportunity to the couple to plead their cases. If the council is convinced of the husbands guilt, the wife is allowed to get a separation and marry anybody she chooses.
Indian Tribal Women in Meghwal
Besides the usual chores the Meghwal women find time for their avidly sought after embroidery work. Their work is distinguished by their primary use of red. This red colour comes from a local pigment produced from crushed insects. The Meghwal women artisans of
Thar Desert
in Sindh and Baluchistan, and in
are considered master of the traditional embroidery and Ralli making. Exotic hand-embroidered items form part of dowry of Meghwal woman.
Indian Tribal Women in Lambani
was once known as the bee-keeping tribe. The Lambani women are found in groups throughout the central and southern parts of India, selling cloth at markets and beaches. Their work contributes considerably to the income of their families. The Lambani women embroider bright rainbow-coloured fabrics covered with a mosaic of patchwork mirrors. The Lambani women commonly wear large, silver earrings laden with bells called Loila and a large silver torque around the neck to which two large silver pyramid forms are attached.
Tribal Women Dedicated to their ancient mode of dressing which is perhaps the most colourful and elaborate of any tribal group in India, this dressing mode sets them apart from the rest of the tribes in India. Their full length skirt is blazing red with borders embroidered in mustard and green thread. The elaborately embroidered and mirror studded Cholis or blouses and the brightly coloured Odhni (mantle) which covers the head is long enough to drape down their backs almost touching the feet. The women wear pretty silver anklets which clink as they walk barefoot. Long silver earrings and patterned Cowrie shells decorate their hair, and are worn on their wrists and ankles. Silver, brass, some gold, cowries, ivory, animal bone and even plastic are some of the metals used for their ornaments. Mainly labourers, these women still wear all their attire even while doing heavy work.
Migration of Indian Tribal Women
Thousands of tribal women and girls migrate from their hinterlands in tribal areas to urban city centres mainly in search of employment. They are new to the city life style and environment and find it difficult to make adjustment with the changed situation and environment. Moreover, they are exploited, both financially and sexually. A large majority of migrant tribal women are in the age group of 24 to 47 years and the tribal girls in the age group of 16 to 23 years. They face problems like difficulty of communication in local language, residential accommodation, and employment, education of children, local contacts, and adjustment with city life and environment etc.
Occupation of Indian Tribal Women
For the tribal of India, forests are considered as sacred and an important support system for their lives. Forest resources provide them with food, medicine, fodder and grass, fuel wood and water for irrigation. Women rely on the collection of forest products and also play a part in protecting forests. The tribal households depend almost entirely on forest products for their livelihoods. They collect non-timber products as Tendu Patta, Char and Sal Seeds, Palesh, Sarai,
/Dori, Harra, Kusum, Sisal,
, Chhind,
, Jamun, Ber. From the products they collect, the women obtain foods such as fruit and oil, and medicines. Forest products also become raw materials for making a number of items for the home, such as bidi, brooms, baskets, mats, rope, homemade toothbrushes and leaf plates. Certain tribes collect forest products for their main occupations.
To a limited extent, women also participate in forest protection activities. 10 to 15 years before the Forest Department came up with the idea of forest protection, several village communities began to organise protection of the forests, as villagers saw outsiders come in and destroy the forests. The forest management committees have had a number of women representatives since then.
Tribal forest economy is primarily a womens economy and it is women who are most directly affected by the corporate exploitation of their traditional lands.

text: Forget what women's magazines are always reassuring men. This year, size counts-in every form of entertainment, especially films. Consider: The Firm runs 2 hours and 33 minutes, unusually long for a legal thriller, even one starring Tom Cruise. Robert Altman's Short Cuts, based on the stories of Raymond Carver and due this fall, clocks in at 3 hours and 9 minutes. Schindler's List, Steven Spielberg's Holocaust drama scheduled for release later this year, is expected to run 3 hours. And Ted Turner plans a condensed theatrical version of Gettysburg, a 6-hour, 3-part dramatization of the Civil War battle for his TNT network. While megamovies are the most visible part of the more-is-more trend, they are by no means alone. Growing pains can be felt in every field: *BOOKS: A Suitable Boy, Vikram Seth's novel of 1950s India, is one of the most talked-about books of the year, but at 1,349 pages, it's not likely to be tucked into many canvas beach bags. David Halberstam's The Fifties, an exploration of the Ozzie and Harriet decade, weighs in at 800 pages; Gore Vidal's United States: Essays 1952-1992, 1,295 pages. *TELEVISION: Stephen King's The Stand, an 8-hour ABC miniseries based on the post-doomsday novel, airing next year, will be the longest miniseries since CBS' Lonesome Dove. A 6-hour third installment of North and South and a 6-hour sequel to The Thorn Birds are also planned for 1994. *MUSIC: Janet Jackson's latest album, janet., contains 27 cuts; though a dozen are snippets of breathless conversations or coos that last no more than a few seconds, there are 15 full-length, equally breathy songs totaling 76 minutes. And record stores continue to pack in scale-tipping CD collections; coming soon: The Best of Jethro Tull: 25th Anniversary on four CDs, and Diana Ross' career compilation, Forever, Diana, featuring 80 songs and a 96-page booklet. *THEATER: Angels in America, the chilling, Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway sensation, lasts 31 2 hours (and that's only Part 1). It will be joined on Broadway in November by the six-hour drama Kentucky Cycle. *VIDEO: Sarafina! has just been released on laserdisc with 15 extra minutes. And a new version of JFK, Oliver Stone's already-3-hour-and-9-minute film, is now out on video-with 17 additional minutes of footage. Such excess is leaving many exhausted consumers asking: What ever happened to "cut"? "I didn't set out to make a 21 2-hour movie," says Sydney Pollack, who produced and directed The Firm. "It's not like cabbage. You can't say, 'I need three quarters of a pound.' You're trying to tell a story." Pollack points out that his 1985 film Out of Africa took 2 hours and 41 minutes to make its Oscar-winning point. Though long movies are nothing new (1939's Gone With the Wind, for example, ran 3 hours and 42 minutes), they used to be very notable exceptions. After all, a time-consuming film costs a studio more money to make and can lower the box office take since it can't be shown as many times a day. But the success of 1990's Dances With Wolves seemed to change all that. If moviegoers would put up with 3 hours and 1 minute of Kevin Costner in buckskin, they could sit through anything. And while there was some critical grousing last winter about seemingly endless movies like Scent of a Woman (2 hours and 37 minutes) and Malcolm X (3 hours and 21 minutes), the trend is, well, growing. "I think you're seeing longer films because more of them have been successful," says Altman, who decided in preproduction to cut three stories and five characters from the anthology Short Cuts and now regrets it. "When you have a kid and he's seven feet tall," says Altman, "you don't cut his feet or his head off, do you? You buy him a new bed and hope he can play basketball." But how tolerant of that child would a studio be if his dad had less clout than someone like auteur Altman, who's still riding high from last year's The Player? "I think that if you're Martin Scorsese or Francis Coppola or Oliver Stone, you have a little more power," says Altman, whose contract called for a 2- hour-and-10-minute movie. "I didn't want the film (3 hours) long. I did everything I could to make it shorter, but this is what it is." "Some movies are told better when they're longer," says Universal chief Tom Pollock, whose studio produced Scent of a Woman. Still, Pollock doesn't see any forces other than coincidence at work in the Bloating of Entertainment. "What about the Russian novel?" he laughs. "Hasn't anybody ever read Crime and Punishment or Anna Karenina?"

"Experiences in the out-of-doors tend to be rich in opportunities for nurturing growth in all the developmental domains" (Swarwick et al)
"Sam is a wonderful trainer. His outdoor pursuits inspired us with a multitude of reasons to embrace all aspects of nature and outdoor life. The students attending this course were all motivated to follow in Sam's footsteps and engage children in a variety of fun outdoor activities with children in their own settings."Wendy Jackson, Bishop Auckland College
"Sam has worked with our children to teach them about saving and conserving energy. He explained a complicated concept in an entertaining and lively way that was accessible to all our children. He was friendly and approachable, encouraging easy communication with staff and children.
The children thoroughly enjoyed his lessons and continued to talk about what they had learnt, long after Sam had left. Sam has also been invaluable in promoting outdoor learning, training staff and has run inspirational forest schools sessions with our children. I would thoroughly recommend him to others!"
"During a den building activity it was great to see how quieter children showed their capacity for leadership and imagination. The activities Sam delivered were engaging, challenging and required teamwork plus led to some good writing afterwards."Nicola Welsh, Middlestone Moor Primary
"Sam has organised a number of community learning events with me. He is very organised and plans great learning experiences for adults and children. Children and their carers raved about the cooking on the fire and the fauna identification activities in their evaluations. I would highly recommend a Sam Jackson led event at any school."Helen Grainger, Esh Winning Primary
"Sam's session was tailored and linked very well to our rainforests topic. The session delivered exactly what we hoped it would - the children learnt about adaptations and were able to extend their knowledge in a creative way, at a perfect pace and with a range of activities. The day was excellently delivered!"Rachel Harmer, Butterknowle Primary
"The children thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor activities. All the children were eager and excited to find out more. A fantastic day - managed and delivered very well. A really interesting way to focus on our topic of the Great Fire of London."Cara Morton, Dubmire Primary School
"A very useful CPD that delivered ideas for creative outdoor activities and experiments for science as well as cross curricular links. Thank you for a great day!"Gemma Preece, St Oswald's
"A great hands-on training day - loads of new ideas and I now feel more confident to use the outdoors with children."Kay Murray, Pelton Community Primary
"This was the most enjoyable training course I've been on in some time! The course leaders were really helpful and knowledgeable. I feel inspired to motivate the children and to start some growing activities! Thank you so much."Louise Gardner, St Mary's RCVA Primary
"Sam's approach to our science topic, 'dissolving', promoted autonomy and self discovery. The children learnt some theory, put the theory into practise and then explained what had happened - the children loved it! I have learnt that the children need to have time for self discovery in order to better understand science. Sam was extremely organised and it made for a stress free activity day. I'd seriously recommend Sam to other schools, he's great!"Dawn Whaley, Hartside Primary School
"Over the three sessions, all the children learnt new skills and enjoyed their time outdoors! It gave me increased knowledge and the confidence to plan and to deliver similar activities myself. The original aim, to link to PE and specifically an outdoor and adventurous activity core task, was met - especially on teamworking and cooperation. All the sessions were well planned and organised and they were delivered and managed well. Every activity challenged the children and taught them new skills. It was good to see less confident children have the opportunity to shine too!"Denise Hannon, St Chad's RCVA Primary
"I enjoyed the activities immensely because you were there to add knowledge, enthusiasm and a 'different slant' on our habitats topic. Your delivery at our school was fantastic and our aims to increase the children's knowledge and enjoyment were met. The day was very well delivered, organised and managed. We were extremely impressed with how you were with the children and your knowledge of the topic. We shall be contacting you again to see if you have any other topics that you could deliver."Andrea Farlow, Cockton Hill Junior School
"The session was booked to enhance the children's imagination - it definitely delivered on this! The day was organised brilliantly and was enjojed by both children and adults....the children were asking when you were coming back for the rest of the week!"Amy Foster, Delves Lane Primary
"We wanted a high interest, active day with lots for the children to get stuck into and we got that from Mark. Understanding the World, Expressive Arts and Design with aspects of Communication and Language were successfully delivered. The delivery and management of the day was very good. Communication beforehand was quick and thorough. We really enjoyed the day, thank you!"Ashleigh Walker, Chopwell Primary
"The children thoroughly enjoyed the session and developed their knowledge about the Stone Age. The day was fantastic. It was delivered very well, the children were engaged all day and they learnt a lot about the topic, as well as developing skills such as team building and problem solving."Nicola Cooke, St. Anne's CE Primary

Formula One drivers' championship leader Sebastian Vettel claimed his first pole position of the season as Ferrari ended a nine-year wait to lock out the front row at the Russian Grand Prix in Sochi. The German is joined by teammate Kimi Räikkönen, leaving Mercedes duo Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton in their wake ahead of the fourth race of the 2017 season.
The Silver Arrows pair will start in third and fourth respectively after a dramatic qualifying session which provides another twist to a fascinating year. Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo and Felipe Massa of Williams are on the third row, following by Max Verstappen, Nico Hülkenberg, Sergio Pérez and Esteban Ocon.
But the headlines belong to Ferrari who secure their first qualifying one-two since the French Grand Prix in 2008. Vettel secures his 47th pole of his career and first of a campaign in which he has already claimed two race wins.
"I had a good start to the qualifying session this afternoon and I was feeling good," said Vettel. "In Q2 I lost the rhythm and it went wrong. In Q3 it was not really tidy and I left it until the end. I got a good lap in and made up some time. We knew it would be tight and I knew that I would be first to cross the line.
"The car was phenomenal this afternoon. It really is a pleasure to take a seat and go around with low fuel and try and push it. If you have rhythm here it feels fantastic so I am glad that I got it back. Big thanks to the team. It is a great result for us to have both cars on the front row. It is only half the job, the main job is tomorrow but for now it is an important step. It's a good result and I am sure everyone is happy and proud.
"I think we had a good start to the season. Obviously in qualifying in Mercedes has been very strong. We are in front and that is all that matters. I am sure it will be very close tomorrow. We are very happy that we are back and try and take the momentum into tomorrow."

The 12th-ranked Iowa Central football team will look to keep the momentum generated by claiming the Kinney Cup going this Saturday when they host Coffeyville at Dodger Stadium.
Kickoff is set for noon.
The Tritons (1-1 overall) scored a 28-26 victory over then-No. 2 Iowa Western last weekend, winning the traveling trophy for the first time in a decade.
Demarcus Irons had his best game with Iowa Central, accounting for 202 total yards and three touchdowns. Kurt Taylor ran for 81 yards and Tanarious Achan had five catches for 74. Terrell Carey also had a touchdown catch.
Irons has 268 yards passing and 62 yards rushing this year, with Achan leading the receivers with 13 catches. That ties him for second in the nation.
Dijion Walls had two interceptions and Colin Swygman kicked in two field goals and two extra-points. Irons, Walls and Swygman were ICCAC Players of the Week.
Coffeyville (0-2) is coming off losses to Iowa Western and Fort Scott, who are both in the Top-20. They have won the last five meetings between these two schools, including a 47-32 victory last year in Kansas.

The Pennsylvania team is putting up some awesome numbers in the Little League World Series. They won tonight's game 7-5 against Georgia, their third consecutive win since their first game loss against Kentucky.
But Pennsylvania's huge numbers don't involve runs or games won. Look at the attendance. The Kentucky game drew 41,848 fans … for a Little League game. (Kentucky has since been knocked out of the tournament.) Last night's game drew a measly 32,000 fans. Still better than what Major League baseball's Washington Nationals draw on a work night. (Washington lost to the the Arizona Diamondbacks last night in front of 17,000 fans.)
Pennsylvania plays again Thursday night, and it's been estimated that when that game is over, Pennsylvania will have drawn 160,000 fans, almost half of the total attendance for the entire World Series thus far. Chances are most of the fans at the other games had come early to see Pennsylvania play. And we're not even at the championship game.
That's a home field advantage.
If you want to see the game, watch it on the Web on ESPN3.
UPDATE: Pennsylvania's run is over. They lost to California 2-0 Thursday night. California faces Montana for the U.S. title Saturday at 3 p.m. Eastern time. Japan faces Mexico at noon. The final is Sunday at 3 p.m.
The attendance at Thursday's Pennsylvania-California game was more than 31,000, bringing the attendance at Pennsylvania's games in this series to more than 167,000.

Synthesis of alkenes by isomerizations
Recent Literature
Catalytic access to thermodynamically less stable Z-alkenes have relied upon kinetic control of the reaction. A mild and simple orthogonal approach proceeds via photochemically catalyzed isomerization of the thermodynamic E-alkene to the less stable Z-isomer via a photochemical pumping mechanism.
K. Singh, S. J. Staig, J. D. Weaver, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2014, 136, 5275-5278.
A riboflavin-mediated highly (Z)-selective and operationally simple, catalytic isomerization has been applied to a variety of enone-derived substrates. The reaction can also be used for the synthesis of the medically relevant 4-substituted coumarin scaffold.
J. B. Metternich, R. Gilmour, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2015, 137, 11254-11257.
A ruthenium complex is a very efficient catalyst for selective mono-isomerization of various multifunctional alkenes to afford E-products. Many reactions are complete within 10 min at room temperature. Even sensitive enols and enamides susceptible to further reaction can be generated. Very low catalyst loadings can be employed.
C. R. Larsen, D. B. Grotjahn, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2012, 134, 10357-10360.
Hot water as a mildly acidic catalyst efficiently promoted 1,n-rearrangement (n = 3, 5, 7, 9) of allylic alcohols. In some cases, the rearrangement reactions joined isolated C-C double or triple bonds to generate conjugated polyene or enyne structure motifs. The polyene natural product navenone B has been constructed by iterative use of a Grignard reaction, a 1,3-rearrangement of the resulting allylic alcohol, and subsequent oxidation.
P.-F. Li, H.-L. Wang, J. Qu, J. Org. Chem., 2014, 79, 3955-3962.
Commercially available and very inexpensive benzoic acids catalyze an efficient and simple isomerization of readily prepared allylic alcohols to yield cyclic products, unusual enyne, and dienols. The catalysts can be tuned for reactivity and substrate sensitivity.
J. A. McCubbin, S. Voth, O. V. Krokhin, J. Org. Chem., 2011, 76, 8537-8542.
O3ReOSiPh3 promotes the 1,3-isomerization of various allylic alcohols. Two different strategies allow the selective formation of a single isomer. The first strategy utilizes the formation of a conjugated alkene to ensure a high selectivity. The second strategy employs N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide (BSA) as an additive to remove the product from the reaction equilibrium and works well for the isomerization of tertiary allylic alcohols.
C. Morrill, R. H. Grubbs, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2005, 127, 2842-2843.
C. Morrill, R. H. Grubbs, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2005, 127, 2842-2843.
Lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) promotes virtually quantitative conversion of allylic ethers to (Z)-propenyl ethers with very high stereoselectivity in THF at room temperature. The reaction time for the conversion increases with more sterically hindered allylic ethers.
C. Su, P. G. Williard, Org. Lett., 2010, 12, 5378-5381.
Substituted benzofurans were synthesized from their corresponding substituted 1-allyl-2-allyloxybenzenes using ruthenium-catalyzed C- and O-allyl isomerization followed by ring-closing metathesis.
W. A. L. van Otterlo, G. L. Morgans, L. G. Madeley, S. Kuzvidza, S. S. Moleele, N. Thornton, C. B. de Koning, Tetrahedron, 2005, 61, 7746-7755.
A hydroxyl group-directed, highly regio- and stereoselective transposition of allylic alcohols based on rhenium catalysis is suitable for a direct isomerization of acetals into the thermodynamically preferred isomer as long as one of the hydroxyl groups is allylic. This method will expand the scope of rhenium-catalyzed alcohol transpositions for complex molecule synthesis.
A. T. Herrmann, T. Saito, C. E. Stivala, J. Tom, A. Zakarian, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2010, 132, 5962-5963.
Ruthenium hydrides promote the positional isomerization of 1,3-dienes into more highly substituted 1,3-dienes in a stereoconvergent manner. The reaction can also be conducted in one pot starting with an ene-yne metathesis of terminal alkynes and alkenes and a subsequent decomposition of the Grubbs catalyst into a ruthenium hydride, which promotes the dienyl isomerization.
J. R. Clark, J. R. Griffiths, S. T. Diver, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2013, 135, 3327-3330.
A biphenyl-2-ylphosphine with a basic amino group at the 3′ position possesses orthogonally positioned "push" and "pull" forces, that enable a gold(I)-catalyzed soft propargylic deprotonation and permit the bridging of a difference of >26 pKa units (in DMSO) between a propargylic hydrogen and a protonated tertiary aniline. This design led to efficient isomerization of alkynes into versatile 1,3-dienes with synthetically useful scope under mild reaction conditions.
Z. Wang, Y. Wang, L. Zhang, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2014, 136, 8887-8890.
A unique palladium hydride complex generated from a simple Pd source and boric acid [B(OH)3] enables a redox neutral rearrangement of an allene to a 1,3-diene.

The water filter is made out of high-quality borosilicate glass. This ensures the vapor is cooler and better for both the throat and lungs. What is the benefit of a water filter for a vaporizer? As the vapor is subject to an additional filtering it is immediately cooled down after generation and further contamination is filtered out. The vapor is far cleaner and fresher ensuring the inhalation is free of contamination.PLEASE NOTE: Vaporizers are mostly electric appliances. For this reason they must not come into touch with water. Please don't fill in too much water or tilt the water filter too much so that no water leaks! Before putting it on the vaporizer please check if the cut is dry and no water can enter the vaporizer or heating chamber!Please pre-heat the heating chamber before attaching the mouthpiece (stainless steel expands) ensuring the adapter fits. Should the adapter still not fit despite pre-heating then please put in the freezer for a couple of minutes (glass contracts when exposed to cold).
