The country of Belize does not require any specific immunizations for entry from the USA. However, The Center For Disease Control has issued a set of recommendations for travel to Belize. In general, any travelers to third world countries should be up to date on measles (MMR), Tetanus (Td or Tdap), Hepatitis A, and Typhoid. Flu vaccines are recommended.There may be additional travel recommendations, so we encourage you to check with your health provider and the cdc.gov/travel web site for the latest travel updates. If possible, one should receive their travel immunizations 4-6 weeks prior to travel for maximum benefit. Although malaria is not a risk in Belize City or the cayes, we will be in the jungle or near swampy areas for 5 days. To my knowledge, no one has contracted Malaria over the last 30 years that I have led trips to Belize. Many participants have taken an anti-malarial drug while others have not. Your health provider can suggest an appropriate anti-malarial medication. The best recommendation for the prevention of malaria and dengue fever is using appropriate clothing and a strong, effective mosquito repellent (with DEET or Picarin). We travel through caves during our adventure, however we are not expecting bat exposures or recommending rabies vaccinations.
Please visit the CDC Traveler's Page on Belize for updates and suggestions before you travel. All medical precautions are the decision of each participant. You may also consult a travel clinic that specializes in immunizations and travel updates. In Santa Cruz County, we have Dover's Travel Clinic which has received excellent reviews.
Black Orchid Resort Double occupancy rooms designed for the eco-adventure traveler located on the Belize River. Private bathrooms with hot showers, pool and spa (Day One).
Yamwits Lodge: Triple to quad occupancy rooms in a creole family owned lodge located on a Citrus Farm off the Hummingbird Highway. Joy Smith and her family will host our group for two nights. Local Belizean cuisine is their specialty (Day Two-Day Three).
Hopkins Village: Double to triple occupancy cabanas or rental house with both private and shared bathrooms/showers. Cabanas are located in a traditional Garifuna village close to a sandy beach on The Caribbean Sea. Sea breeze provides our "air conditioning" (Day Four).
Glovers Atoll Resort: Double to triple occupancy cabanas over water and on a coconut tree lined island. Composting toilets are shared among the huts. Island life involves living with few amenities such as electricity or running water in each hut. Outdoor shower stalls are available or you may bring a sun shower purchased at outdoor stores. Cabanas are lit by the light of lanterns, candles and the moon (Day Five-Day Ten).
Tropical Education Center: Double to triple occupancy cabanas in Forest Savannah located near the international airport (Day Eleven-departure on Day Twelve)

BEFORE AND AFTER THE TRIP: Our 12 day itinerary covers a wide of cultural and natural wonders. If you would like to extend your trip, please consult a Belize travel guide available at most book stores or libraries. After reviewing the guide, feel free to call us with questions. We would be happy to make suggestions for extended travel based on your interests.

PHYSICAL CONDITIONING: While experience in kayaking, snorkeling or hiking is not required to participate in this program, good general health is recommended. Most activities are optional. Your Blue Water Ventures guides will offer a variety of excursions each day for those who want to keep active. Some level of upper body conditioning is advisable to prepare for kayaking and snorkeling. Please call us if you have any questions regarding the activities planned 831 459 8548.
ACTIVITIES INCLUDED: Snorkeling, sea kayaking, night snorkeling, fishing, hiking through jungles, climbing Mayan ruins, cave tubing, spelunking and jungle tubing. Our hikes on the mainland range from 1-2 miles with some options for further distance. Our sea kayaking destinations range from a few hundred yards to 4 miles with options for further distance. You may pick and choose which kayaking and snorkeling activities you would like to participate in. With six days on the island, our pace is very relaxed.
KAYAKING: We will have access to a variety of kayaks while on Glovers Reef. Double sit on top kayaks will be used for most of our group outings. These kayaks are ideal for exploring the warm tropical water of Belize. Just slide off your boat with your mask and snorkel on when you want to see what's underneath you! Everyone will be checked out on kayaking skills and safety in the shallow lagoon in front of our huts.
During the week we will offer an optional kayak skills and rescue clinic demonstrating techniques with a closed deck boat. A boat of this style will be available through-out the week to practice Eskimo rolls in warm water.
SNORKELING: Glover's Reef Atoll, is a Marine Reserve and World Heritage Site approximately thirty miles east of the mainland. Coral atolls, a circular ring of reef and islands formed around a shallow turquoise lagoon, are rare in the Western Hemisphere. From your huts, you may drop down into crystal clear water and snorkel over turtle grass beds and patch reefs. Snorkeling or scuba diving The Wall, a dramatic and sheer drop to 2500' on the eastern edge of the atoll is an incredible experience. Your Blue Water Ventures naturalists are avid snorkelers eager to share information about reef ecology and fish behavior. We will offer informal talks and daily guided snorkeling excursions. We hope you will join us in the water as we explore and interpret this amazing ecosystem.
While we generally recommend bringing your own mask, snorkel and fins, you may rent equipment for the week at Glovers ($18 for mask/snorkel and $18 for fins). More information on gear rental options here: Diving.
SCUBA DIVING: Certified divers may arrange their own dives at Glover's Reef. Scuba diving is not included in the price of this trip nor do we make any arrangements for diving. However, there will be daily opportunities to organize your own dives with the Padi dive master who lives on Glover's Atoll. Credit cards are accepted as a form of payment for diving. An additional 10 % is added when paying by credit card. Dive options at Glovers may be reviewed here: Diving and arrangements can be made upon arrival to Glovers. We are on the island for six nights.
INSECT REPELLENT: Mosquitoes, black flies and sand gnats will be encountered in Belize. Avon Skin so Soft is the best defense against sand gnats found in coastal areas. A strong pump style repellent is good against mosquitoes and black flies that occur in the jungle. A layer of lightweight, light in color clothing is an effective defense against insects. The skies are not black with insects. However, if you can't tolerate a week of insect bites, a trip to the tropics is not for you!
Coral Safe Sunscreen: If you have had a chance to look over our website packing list, you will have noticed several brands of Coral Safe Sunscreens. There are many out there, some that claim to be safe but actually are not. A key ingredient to avoid is oxybenzone, harmful to marine life. Two brands that we personally like are: Raw Element and Stream2Sea, although there are other good brands on the market. Review this link for more details: Coral Safe. We truly appreciate your consideration of coral safe sunscreen to help reduce our impact on the fragile marine ecosystem.
ELECTRICAL OUTLETS: Throughout Belize, we will have access to a 110 volt electrical outlet which will accommodate recharging digital cameras, cell phones or other appliances. Several digital camera batteries and extra memory are still recommended while traveling. While our individual huts on Glover's Reef are lit by moonlight, you may charge up batteries at night in the shared dining area.
WIFI CONNECTION: Your cell phones will work in most areas of Belize though calls back home can be expensive. We suggest that you call your provider to see what the fees are for calls and texting. Skype is sometimes blocked in Belize City though should be available at Glovers Reef. You may want to set up a Skype account on a "smart phone" before arriving to Belize. Phone apps such as Facetime and WhatApps should work when WIFI is available. Glover's Reef will have a wifi connection in the shared dining area (Glover's is a remote area so no guarantees it will be working the week we are there though the service is fairly reliable) and they will charge a small fee for use of their wifi.
HOW TO REACH OUR GROUP: Before we depart, we will send you an email with Belize contact numbers that family members may use in the event of an emergency back home.
DRINKING WATER: At each site, you will be briefed on policies towards drinking water. Obviously, we are extremely cautious with our decisions about potable water. Most water consumed during our trip is bottled with a few exceptions.
TAKING SHOWERS: While on the mainland, our accommodations will have running water but quick showers are advisable to conserve water use. At Glovers, outdoor shower stalls are provided using non-potable water or you may set up your own private sun shower at your water hut. Joy, Dawn and CampSuds are biodegradable and lathers up nicely in non-potable water. Dr. Brommer's is not recommended as it is less sudsy.
CLIMATE: April is part of the dry season while June typically marks the beginning of the rainy season, heavy rain falls are less common on the Atolls. Moderate to heavy down pours are always a possibility in the tropics. Temperatures should be reasonably pleasant with day time highs in the upper 80's and lows in the 70's. Easterly trade winds often prevail keeping the temperatures pleasant. Bring a waterproof sun block/lip balm with a protection factor of 20 or higher.
CLOTHING: Loose fitting cotton or quick drying nylon work well in the tropics. Lighter colors seem more comfortable in the heat. Jeans take too long to dry out and are not recommended. Laundry is done by hand as needed by each participant.
APPROPRIATE DRESS: For the most part, the dress code is causal throughout Belize. However, at several sites we may suggest wearing t-shirts with sleeves (no tight fitting tank tops at these sites). By dressing conservatively, we are respecting the cultural norms of some Belizean people. When packing, please include several loose fitting, short sleeved t-shirts in addition to tank tops.
LOCAL CUISINE: Meals are Belizean in style and are an intricate part of our cultural experience. You may anticipate plenty of chicken, fresh seafood, rice and beans, local fruit, tortillas, fry jacks, Johnny cakes and other local breads. Vegetarian meals can be arranged upon request. Please specify any dietary restrictions or allergies on the registration form that will be sent to you.
PASSPORTS: Everyone is required to have a current passport for entry into Belize. It usually takes 6-8 weeks to process a passport. For information on obtaining a passport, please visit: http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html Most post offices provide the service to process US passports.
MONEY: US dollars are accepted throughout Belize. Small denominations (20 bills or less) are recommended since you will often receive Belizean dollars in change. There are some crafts - slate and wood carvings @ 10-50 dollars, and typical t-shirts @ 10-15 dollars. The only costs you are responsible for are: personal liquor, tips (see below) and any unscheduled motorboat excursions you wish to take. Certified divers will need to make payments for any dives they make. The dive master accepts credit cards for an additional 10% of cost. An airport departure tax of $40 is your responsibility as you leave the country.
TIPPING: It is customary to tip our cook(s) who will be joining us while at Glover's Reef Atoll. Depending upon our group size, we will have one or two Belizean cooks with us. $50 per participant for one cook or $100 per participant split between two cooks would be greatly appreciated. Please tip our Belizean cooks with cash only. If you feel that your Blue Water Ventures guides served you well, you may factor in a gratuity for them. We would suggest a $75 per participant tip to be split among your BWV guides. All other tips to local guides, hotel staff and drivers will be taken care of by Blue Water Ventures. As is customary in hotels you may choose to leave a small tip in your room for hotel staff each morning while on the mainland. US dollars are fine, but no US coins.

LUGGAGE: A medium to large duffel bag is recommended. Hard-shelled suitcases are acceptable, but since space is limited, soft duffels are preferable. Duffels or suitcases that have a rolling option are fine. Be sure to check with your airlines for the luggage restrictions that the chosen airline is requiring.
GIFTS: People often inquire about bringing gifts for teachers or children we meet along the way. This is certainly not expected. However, if you would like to donate something, appropriate gifts include: school supplies (crayons, pencils, construction paper, maps. water color paints, rulers, erasers, glue, etc.) children's books, educational games including CD Roms. If you have a functional laptop or Ipad that you would like to donate to a teacher for use during the school year that would be a tremendous gesture. Funding for school and electronic supplies are extremely limited in the villages we will be visiting.
ILLEGAL DRUG USE: The Belizean government has very severe penalties for the use of illegal drugs. Do not bring illegal substances into Belize or purchase/use them during this program. Products containing CBD oils or THC are illegal in Belize and should not be brought through customs.

Remember - on most pages you can click pictures to see more photos!
These are photos of the actual model available. Remember that these toys are around 50 years old! All models advertised are original, not restored or repainted unless I have stated otherwise.
This is a late Corgi model but a nice one in the right scale. The Hamleys toy store is the famous one in London that every child wants to visit and I guess the van is done up in their colours although it does look a bit serious in black.
Very strangely, this comes with two plastic figures who need painting as they are completely white. There are no paints in the box but a sort of map and instruction sheet tells you where to paint which of many Humbrol colours.
I am not sure this was the brightest idea anyone had for adding more sales for Corgi but it does beat Whizzwheels in some respects, I suppose.
This van reminds me of the Police Mini Van from the original Corgi days and I think that was why I bought it. Now I have one of those so this can safely go. It is very attractive and well made, from 1995, and in its original box - all as good as new.

We're excited to work with him again and look forward to seeing him progress further"

Evaluating marketing decisions and developing goal-oriented marketing strategies, e.g. maximizing firm profits, depend on the measurement of causal relationships between firms' objectives and marketing activities. In this course, we discuss in depth advanced methods to empirically determine the causal relationship between marketing activities and firms' objectives. In exercise courses students learn how to apply these methods to real data. Special attention is given to modeling the effects of marketing on sales and market share data. In this course we also focus on discrete choice models for individual purchase data and aggregate sales data.
Successful participation in this class will enable students to quantify the impact of marketing on key performance measures and to evaluate the success of marketing activities.
There is no assigned (must buy) textbook for the course.

NYT's Review of Tethered
Read all about it...
Read all about it...
Posted by Lynne Griffin and Amy MacKinnon at 3:12 PM
Labels: Writer-Amy
OMG!! The big time! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And you weren't going to read reviews... How lovely, Amy!
I started to read it but I STOPPED MYSELF. I haven't found the book in our 3 local bookstores yet, though one Chapters said there were 2 in the store somewhere. We are moving so I don't want to order it! I'm hoping to find it on our drive across the country. We're driving through the US so I don't think I'll have trouble. The comments above sound like good news! Congrats.
The New York Times! Holy cow. I am so proud of you :)))
Hypnotic indeed. And a big day for all of us, your fans.
Thanks, everyone! What I love about it is we've all taken this strange journey together and you saw me at my lowest --wondering if I could finish writing the book, if anyone would ever represent it then publish it-- and now there's a review in the NYT. My turn now, your turn next.
Thank you, Maureen!
Major congrats for the NYT mention! That's wonderful! Hope you do something fun to celebrate.
Shauna, funny you should mention celebrate. When I called Kristy Kiernan to tell, she said I must go out that very minute and buy a good champagne. Unfortunately, I was in the midst of cokking dinner for my children, then there was homework, the dog's bath, my husband was working late, and I really don't care for champagne or drinking alone. Maybe I'll celebrate today with the fabulous women of my writers' group -- though with lemonade. Cheers!


text: The Koch Bros. may have reached a new low with fake eviction notices on homes in Detroit - with one of the highest foreclosure rates nationwide - to scare people into opposing a new bridge to Canada. Oh yeah: the old bridge is owned by a friend of theirs. They said the notices were meant to "startle" people, and they did - one resident said his mother "damn near keeled over." Critics savaged the move as "emotional terrorism...substantively shameful, contextually inexcusable," which sounds about right.

At its most bombastic, Kindred is a battlefield of its own eccentricities with no regard for or worry about approaching a tipping point.
On the group's excellent third album, Kindred, Angelakos has crafted a record which seems hopeful in the face of the world's myriad of disappointments, obstacles, and unseen villains, buoyed by the most dynamic, expertly calibrated synth pop of his career.
Kindred expresses a version of hesitant romance where disaster lurks but may not be inevitable, and where the moment is everything.
After the doom and gloom of 2012's Gossamer, Kindred sees Angelakos walking back into the light.
Clocking in at just under 36 minutes, Kindred is easily the most consistent and thematically focused Passion Pit record to date.
Gossamer standouts like "Take a Walk" and "Carried Away," might reach greater heights than the best songs on Kindred, but as a whole, this latest effort is much more accessible, consistent, and bursting with positivity.
This new-found sense of greater perspective has led to a maturation in Passion Pit's sound; this is as close to an out-and-out pop album as we're going to get.
While Kindred remains meticulously and impressively crafted, it just doesn't carry the same emotional weight.
Even if there's still a sneaking suspicion Angelakos used up his very best tunes on 2008 debut EP 'Chunk Of Change', this dewy-eyed record sweeps you up in its joie de vivre all the same.
Kindred lives and dies on the strength of its melodies, and some of those melodies are submarined by excess rather than enhanced by it.
Unlike previous Passion Pit releases, Kindred's arrangements are a heap of disjointed sound fragments glued into a form that exists solely to support the glossy veneer.
In spite of its earnest intentions, the music continues to bulldoze its way through sincerity; piles of chaotic, claustrophobic production and slick, synthy sophistication.
Unfortunately, Kindred only loses the plot further, entrenching itself in a sonically limited pop vocabulary (starchy synth lines; bristling, reverb-doused percussion; and huge, multi-tracked choruses) that's even further away from the chaotic chemistry of his debut.

We're going to land in a minute on a narrow strip of land—the oft-ignored magazine spine. But first, bear with me as we go to sea.
It's summertime. The media moguls are aboard their luxury yachts, chattering about various matters of huge import ("Henry, are the cabins sufficiently stocked with nighttime provisions?")—but, let's be honest, certainly not about magazines. And even if they're in publishing, this crowd is unlikely to read a "Modern Magazinist" post.
Regardless, I want to say a few words about a recently reimagined and spectacularly gorgeous book—ShowBoats International—that caters specifically to the sybaritic ways of yachtingfolk.
The titles that compete in this dizzyingly luxe category—SuperYacht World, Power & Motoryacht, Yachts International—cruise rarefied waters. Their demos are to-die-for crazy. If you read ShowBoats ($9.00 retail) or advertise in it, your expectation is that it will smell and feel like hundred-dollar bills.
One thing's for sure. When serving the needs of the super- and mega-yachting lifestyle (there is a difference, I learned), figure on zero tolerance for the second-rate—particularly true when it comes to something like production values. Nothing less than "great" will be good enough. A tough crowd indeed.
Now, those of us who toil in the magazine-making vineyards understand, at least viscerally, that producing a consistently outstanding book is a complex enterprise, in some ways akin to fabricating a billionaire's mega-yacht. But in, ya know, a way more modest sense.
When translated to publishing, it works like this: Even when dealing with pedestrian mags—consumer or B2B—you've got to call foul on any creative- or business-side big who takes his (or her) eye off the small stuff, claiming it to be unworthy of the time, talent, or financial investment required. There is no "small stuff." To the creatives, I always say care so damn much that night sweats are chronic. Otherwise, bad things will inevitably happen to your magazine. Karma.
Unfortunately, one feature magazine-makers are frequently tempted to dismiss is the spine.
In the overall scheme of things, it seems to be such an inconsequential patch of real estate. Apply your logo and issue date and be done with it. Why bother to go beyond?
But the spine presents endless opportunities. It is a vitally important, if underappreciated, space; it can make a real difference in how a book is perceived by readers and advertisers. (Actually, on at least one occasion, a spine was sold to an advertiser: LG Electronics. I don't approve, but I admire.)
Full-circle back, then, to ShowBoats International.
When it was recently redesigned, taking it to a loftier level of luxe (the silky paper, the gorgeous typography, the spectac photography!), the creative team used the occasion to try something novel with the spine.
The initial plan, I was told by Dan Brooks, the magazine's Fort Lauderdale-based art director, was to apply actual adhesive tape, going for the look of a fine, handcrafted book cover or journal.
The idea had originated with the title's London-based owner, Boat International Media, which had earlier redesigned Boats for an audience on the Continent. Given the Brits' generally advanced level of magazine-making skills, it's no surprise that both of these titles turned out to be stunners. They were aiming for the "flare" and "style of a high-end fashion" book, according to a company executive who responded to my questions.
Unfortunately, application of the adhesive along the spine proved impractical. But the folks at QuadGraphics, ShowBoats' U.S. printer, demonstrated another way forward.
Quad knew that it could beautifully mimic an adhesive strip by stamping onto the heavy, uncoated cover stock a textured pattern that wraps cleanly around the spine onto Covers 1 and 4. The faux tape even features a precise vertical score, as one might find on a hardback.
The illusion is so successful that I needed to rub a finger across the feature more than once before I was satisfied that this was in fact printer's magic.
Tony Euden, ShowBoat's chief operating officer, said to me in a memo that "the textured spine is not only pleasant to the touch, but adds luxury value. Rather like the spine of an expensive coffee-table book, it gives the magazine a quality of something you would want to display, collect, and treasure."
Sure, Euden was boastful, but not without justification. The ShowBoats International spine is hugely appealing to the senses. Only the bare basics are printed on it, but it instantly differentiates the magazine not only from its competitors in the superyachting seas, but also from just about anything else on a crowded newsstand.
So, what have we learned here?
First, that the world of superyachts is decidedly not the world that most of us magazine makers occupy. Because… well, the economics of print magazines.
Second, that an experienced printer, working together with a motivated and well-heeled publisher (Boats International recently had an infusion of investor cash), can develop novel solutions.
And finally, that you shouldn't overlook the opportunity that presents itself on the spine of a perfect-bound book. How you choose to leverage that space is a reflection of your magazine's ambitions.
Whether it's with a snippet of info (a mini-TOC, for example), color (a different one for each issue in the cycle), or something more inventive (such as a sentence fragment from a key idea inside), the spine is ideally positioned for a star turn.
If you're overseeing a magazine's visual presentation and you tap the spine for special attention, I'd suggest this could be the one and only context in which being called "narrow-minded" is intended as a compliment.

Planning Commission plans to focus on human resources in mid-term review of Eleventh Plan. The Panel wants to change the archaic definition of"workmen"to enable better working conditions in business process outsourcing (BPO) industries.
Foreign investors and BPO firms will be aided by government help to offer safer working conditions for employees.
Human capital is considered vital to attract foreign investment and panel wants an "Advantage India" brand.
The legislative change will help BPO employees- who often work night-shifts -to get higher protection and safety in working conditions.
The BPO industry has been one of the top job generators in the country in the last few years. Under the current definition, unskilled lahor comes under the category of workmen. "In the legal sense, even the BPO employees come under this definition, which is causing a sense of discomfort".

I love Peter's experience of walking on the roaring sea with Jesus. But the thing is, Peter's story is often misunderstood. Do you have a step you need to take?
Listen to this message I gave at a women's retreat to gain the fresh perspective you need to see Jesus in a new way! My FREE gift to you!
"I'm not wanted."
Those words just repeated continuously through my head as I looked at the closed door just inches from my nose.
Tears began to stream endlessly down my cheeks as I began to walk away from the very things I wanted to be closer to.
On the other side of that doorknob was a life I wanted so badly. A reality that I claimed as my own. A story continuing that I was not a part of any longer.
This wasn't the first time in my life that this phrase had shot pulses of poison through my heart. In fact, this line has occurred in my life since as early as I can remember. It's not that the world purposefully decided to be against me. No. It was the way I interpreted the events that happened to me.
We all interpret life events differently. (This is exactly why the Enneagram fascinates me!).
But here I was again with the unending refrain "I'm not wanted" echoing through my head and circling deep into my heart. Like a spider making a web on confusion, this interpretation had turned into a lie that sucked the life out of everything I wanted to do.
Enter "Kill The Spider" by Carlos Whittaker. I had this book on my iPhone for years since the audiobook released. Someone mentioned it was worth reading and I purchased the audio version on sale. As most of my books do, it was never opened, until that day.
I will not ruin the book for you, but if you enjoy stories and truly life-changing experiences, get the book. If you want to hear the author himself read it (even better) get the audiobook!
In the very last chapter, Carlos outlined a battle plan to "Kill The Spider" – the lie that continues to cause issues in our life. Personally, I think he saved the best for last. As he shared this simple outline, I immediately stopped what I was doing and began to journal it out. It's SO incredibly easy to follow, yet giving God full control to go as deep as He wants to go. The first time I walked through this with my "I am not wanted" spider lie, it took me a few HOURS to get through everything.
Longer than I expected?
Worth it?
Every single minute.
CONFESS: Begin by agreeing with God that you believed in the lie and in return lost sight of His Truth. Note – you are agreeing with God. Thus, He shows you the lie that you are believing in. This can take minutes, hours or even days. Trust me here – it's worth asking and definitely worth the wait.
RENOUNCE: This is your public refusal and line in the sand to abide by the lie any longer (through the power and Truth of Christ of course). Personally, I took the time to recount some of the instances the lie "I am not wanted" kept me from living my life fully grounded in His Truth. What did I miss out on? What territory needs to be reclaimed?
REJECT: Specifically call out the lie by name, verbally rejecting any hold it has on you. You are free in the blood of Christ Jesus and through Christ, it has no power over you anymore. (I entered intense spiritual warfare here. Saying this out loud was critical for me).
REPLACE: Ask Jesus to come in, heal and restore this place where the lie once took up residency. This has to be done – it cannot remain empty. I literally went through each memory where the lie took something away and asked God to replace it with His presence. He literally painted the circumstance from a different perspective I had not seen before. It changed everything.
I walk through this process in my prayer journal and I've had the privilege to walk a few coaching clients through this process as well. It is intense. It is a battle but God is fighting for you.
And I should add – it's not a "one-time" fix. It's a continual, "God I know this is so hard for me but I'm bringing this dang spider to You again. Help me God."
PS – And God always moves.
Want help walking through this process? Contact me and let's go through the process together.

Andrew and I really like to cook. We enjoy doing everything from comfort food (wonderful Wisconsin mac & cheese), to difficult culinary adventures (like that time I ordered oysters on the internet and shucked them for a party). When we're on the trail, we like to eat well too. I'm not a canned chicken kind of gal, but pre-packaged meals like Mountain House are very expensive for what you get and extremely salty. Assuming one meal averages $9, times two people, times 5 nights, that's easily $90 for dinner alone. Here's how we do trail food, including our 5 day menu for our trip to Isle Royale National Park.
Advance Planning
Whenever we start planning a trip, I find that it helps out a lot to determine how many meals we're going to have. If you're going to go beyond pre-packaged food, you'll need some lead time. For our trips, I tend to start prepping 3 x the number of days in a trip in advance. So, for Isle Royale, we had a 5 day trip, so I started food prep about two weeks in advance (5×3 days). Why so much time?
- It takes time to dehydrate food (up to 24 hours a meal) if you're doing that.
- Repackaging things you buy at the store can also take a lot of time.
- We never remember everything we need to bring the first time we go to the store, so this leaves us some wiggle room.
Breakfast doesn't need to be boring if you don't want it to be! I'm much happier with an interesting breakfast and a boring lunch. For our 5 nights, we needed 5 breakfasts. We brought: 8 packets of oatmeal (variety of flavors), dehydrated hash browns, a bag of granola, 8 tubes of Trader Joe's instant coffee, and 8 Clif Bars.
For some reason, though I've been burning calories like crazy, I am never ready to sit down and eat a meal for lunch. Andrew, on the other hand, is often ravenous. We never do a hot lunch, which works for us. For our 4 lunches on Isle Royale, we brought: 1 box of Triscuits (repackaged), 6 pitas, 1/2 lb Manchego Cheese, summer sausage, 4 individual Jif to go peanut butters, 3 Justin's hazelnut butter packages, and 1 espresso hazelnut almond butter blend.
Snacks are my favorite thing to pick out for the trail. Because I don't eat much at lunch (often a half of a pita with some hazelnut butter), I get exhausted if I don't force myself to eat. I find it way easier to stop every hour or so and have a small snack. We brought: 3 Kind bars, 3 energy gels (for me), 6 fruit snack packets (Star Wars themed!), 3 packets of olives, Mini Babybel cheeses, homemade beef jerky, trail mix, dehydrated apples, and 4 Clif Bars.
Dinners are the big meal when to backpacking. We like variety of food and don't mind taking the extra time to cook it. For our 5 dinners on the trail we brought: Trader Joe's Cheese Ravioli with Boboli Pizza Sauce (easy to thin out on the trail with water), dehydrated pea & ham risotto, supplies for burritos (tortillas, dehydrated black beans, instant rice, small amount of cheese), dehydrated beef & broccoli, and dehydrated risotto.
After a long day of hiking, sometimes you just want a treat! We brought: 2 bars dark chocolate, a Jiffy Pop popcorn, 4 packets of apple cider, and whiskey.

Full Season Torrent Review
No TOP TV show for today.
The series quickly honed its voice in its very first season, putting a fairly large bar for the next season to satisfy this season. And while a couple of episodes were guilty of age-old theories, as a entire package this year did manage to outdo the first.
Among the more intriguing wrinkles on this season was that the greater focus on continuity between episodes. While every new setup remains mainly standalone, the figures are becoming more likely to referencing past experiences. The series even built a supportive cast of types, especially when it came into the recurring looks of Birdperson and Tammy. The series never got hung up. Instead, founders Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon appeared to understand exactly how difficult to lean on it as a storytelling device in order that some advancements carried additional weight.
Rick's choice to misuse of time traveling to clean up the clutter out of his home party wound up dividing the timestream to four pieces, each of that prevailed simultaneously on display. It was a smart concept that has been implemented with loads of intellect and humor. Many episodes hinged on high-concept storytelling combined with loads of hilarity along with a dash of poignant character minutes.
The second season of the animated television series Rick and Morty originally aired in the United States on Cartoon Network's late night programming block, Adult Swim, which premiered on July 26, 2015 with "A Rickle in Time", and concluded on October 4 with "The Wedding Squanchers". This season aired a total of ten episodes.
This year constructed pretty much on the last year's revelations about Rick being a deeply unhappy man. Rick had some genuine psychological low points within the span of those episodes, such as revealing a bout of suicidal behaviour in "Auto-Erotic Assimilation" and retreating to a adolescent's body in "Big Trouble in Little Sanchez." However, our drunken hero revealed indications of positive growth this season, demonstrating genuine affection and love for his family from time to time as well as sacrificing his liberty to rescue them at the finale.
1 place this year enhanced was in permitting all members of the Smith household to glow. Morty himself turned into a marginally more assertive character, revealing that he's evolving and growing thanks to his own misadventures with Grandpa Rick. His development has been crucial in "Look Who is Purging Today," where all of his pent up anger and sexual frustration burst onto the display in a violent orgy of destruction. In his own way, Morty is emotionally disturbed because his grandfather, making those rare moments when Rick shield's Morty's innocence that far more endearing.
Meanwhile, Summer basically became the unofficial third member of the group in the wake of "Full Rickall," that was a wonderful change from her function as the series's stereotypical teenaged teenaged girl. Even Jerry and Beth were put to use. When some episodes played with them since the straight-laced, dull counterpoints into Rick, Morty and Summer, others let them join in on the craziness.
There were a few weeks where it appeared Rick and Morty has been its own worst enemy. In a show that prides itself on high-concept storytelling, any instance in which the series is a bit less innovative or at which it reproduces old storylines is likely to stick out. "Get Schwifty" was just one instance of this dilemma. That incident circulated in an "intergalactic American Idol" notion that never really gelled or lived up to the series's usual standard.
There was likewise "Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate," that the 1 situation in which the higher emphasis on continuity may have done the series a disservice. This incident proved to be an immediate sequel to Season 1's timeless "Rixty Minutes," replicating the idea of Rick changing a TV set to pick up broadcasts from throughout the multiverse. However often the figures confessed the fact they were an old narrative, it did not help that incident feel as fresh or funny as the first. It is rare to find that an animated sitcom of these humor and intellect, and Roiland and Harmon could be forgiven if not each installation is a home run.
For a series that began life as a adults-only Back into the upcoming parody, Rick and Morty has certain developed into something particular. The next season continued the formulation of combining high-concept sci-fi storytelling with biting humor and a flair of mentally intricate character growth for good measure. Sometimes this year was guilty of recycling components from the very first, but as a whole package it was able to outdo its predecessor.

The Adelaide circuit the race follows mainly purpose-built parkland roads and the Princes Highway. It passes 17 historic homes. The majority of these are already on 4 or 6 lane roads (Wakefield St, Hutt St, Bartels Rd, Dequetteville Terrace/Princes Highway). Of the small number of historic residential homes on the circuit, only the front of two (151A East Terrace, 109 East Terrace) are less than 20 metres from the track. These are 10 metres from the track, one on a 4-lane road with 2 lanes of parking and the other on a 2-lane road with 2 lanes of parking. In street sections of the Adelaide circuit there are mainly commercial premises. Of the 17 historic buildings on the track, 10 are used as commercial businesses.
The Homebush Street Circuit, also known as the Sydney Olympic Park Street Circuit, was a temporary street circuit around the former Olympic precinct at Sydney Olympic Park. The track hosted the Sydney 500 for the final time in December 2016, due to soaring costs associated with the temporary track, and dwindling spectator numbers.
The track followed Australia Avenue, Kevin Coombs Avenue, Edwin Flack Avenue and Dawn Fraser Avenue. It was a completely non-residential site. 140 mature trees needed to be removed and kilometres of tarmac needed to be torn up to accommodate the race. The track centred on Olympic Boulevard and featured the ANZ Stadium, Allphones Arena and Spotless Stadium as backdrops. The circuit had an indoor paddock, using the exhibition halls of Sydney Showground, which were immediately behind the pits. Transport to the site was excellent. Environmental issues caused great opposition to the circuit.
The Townsville track does not pass residential houses. It passes Townsville State High school, Townsville Theatre, Officeworks, Storage King (all new low rise buildings), parkland (on existing roads of 6 lanes plus parking lanes), and through parkland behind 12 single residences in Flowers Street. The nearest residence is 26A Flowers Street. The race-track passes approximately 60 metres from the back of the property.
The Gold Coast circuit runs along the Gold Coast Highway for approximately 1.4 km. This is a 6 lane major road with a centre island. It runs for approximately 1.6 km along Main Beach Parade, a 2 lane road with 2 lanes of parking. The minimum setback on this road is 8-10 metres for 11 buildings/apartment complexes. All other buildings along this road have set-backs greater than 10 metres. In total, the race circuit runs directly in front of 38 new high-rise apartment and holiday let buildings at the time of writing this analysis. Many of these are more than 60 metres from trackside. The rest of the track runs alongside parkland and beachfront.
In the Newcastle East track, the race passes within 4-5 metres of 9 historic apartment complexes, 26 non-historic apartment complexes, 68 historic residential terraces and 3 non-historic residential houses. It passes within 5 metres of several local and state listed buildings or monuments. It also encloses three public housing complexes for aged residents. The track surrounds an entire residential suburb inside its boundaries. In all other track configurations (Homebush, Gold Coast, Townsville, Adelaide), the race zone has multiple roads in and out of the area for race-goers and the general public. Locating the Newcastle circuit at the end of the CBD, on a peninsula, sanctions a multitude of access issues, both for residents, race-goers and the general public who want to utilise the facilities of the peninsula.
The construction of road infrastructure and installation/removal of barriers will disrupt parking, access and traffic flow in the streets leading into the popular East End of town. By closing off the Newcastle peninsula, organisers are essentially locking anyone who resides here either in or out of their homes, for the duration of the event. The result is blocked access for all Novocastrians and visitors to: the Regional Foreshore Park, Horseshoe Beach (the only dog beach in Newcastle city area), Sandhills Community Garden, Nobbys Beach Reserve and barbecue area, Stony Point, Macquarie Pier/Breakwall, Nobbys Lighthouse, Nobbys Beach and Surf Club, Fort Scratchley, Soldiers Baths, Bathers Way, Cowrie Hole Beach, Newcastle Ocean Baths, Canoe Pool, Newcastle Beach and Surf Club and Pacific Park. The peninsula is utilised every day, all year round, by sportspeople, fitness groups, surfers, walkers, dog-owners, surf clubs, swim squads, sporting teams, joggers, bike-riders, skateboarders, community groups, picnickers, beach-goers, family groups, coastal care groups, café and restaurant patrons, educational groups, wind-surfers, tourists, backpackers and clients of the many, many businesses operating in the East End.
If the city closures begin at Darby Street, as told to residents at the "information" session, then almost the entire CBD will be inaccessible to all but Supercar race-goers and residents.
This circuit is in the most inappropriate part of Newcastle in terms of access, public amenity, resident impost and heritage protection.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck recently made comments about how she actually supports gay marriage. Elisabeth Hasselbeck has a special place in my heart. She gets a lot of crap from liberal/LGBT/etc. people, most of it quite deservedly. And I can kind of relate to that feeling. Like I said in an earlier post, I used to be a Republican, and I'm still Mormon (and surprise, the LGBT community isn't the Mormon church's biggest fan, understandably).
On abortion, Hasselbeck said that she "does believe that life begins at conception," but she doesn't "believe that the government should tell women what to do with their bodies" (Note: The quote isn't continuous not because I changed the meaning of Hasselbeck's in any way, but the tenses/pronouns didn't fit with my sentence). And that is why I'm an Independent. I don't believe that politics, morality, and all of that are black-and-white. Sometimes what I believe is moral or right shouldn't necessarily be forced upon others, but even more that that it isn't rationally possible to execute on a federal or state scale anyway. And now Hasselbeck is getting crap from conservative/anti-gay/etc. people (like Ann Coulter after signing up to speak at Homocon). And I know what that's like too.
But that isn't why she has a special place in my heart. That only makes me think, "Well, you're still an idiot, sorry." Elisabeth Hasselbeck's previous "claim to fame" was that she was on Survivor. She was my favorite of all time and EVERYONE knew it. My mom even thought I would want to watch The View after she joined the show. I didn't know it at the time, but I had a huge lesbian crush on her. This was during my pre-gay days where I thought, "Oh, I would like to be on Survivor to be 'best friends' with her," when I really felt, "Oh, I would like to be on Survivor to do her."

Even lunchtime break is not sacred. Sometime staff meetings or other business obligations get in the way of my lunch workout. Being a business owner can be a PIA sometimes. (Overall, it is super--no complaints!)
Adding to the difficulty, is the amount, or lack thereof, of daylight in the winter and the stupid snow! Once we get into April, I will be able to run at 6:30 or 7 at night when the kids are getting ready for bed because it will still be light out. Now it is darker than a boot and there's no way I'm taking my life into my hands on the narrow road around my house. That is a death wish! Add snow into that mix and it reduces my available running time yet again. I don't mind the cold, but the ice on the road is scary, especially if it's covered with snow.
The weekends are often filled with the kids activities especially during basketball season. This weekend we have bball games tonight, one child's jiu jitsu in the morning and another bball game in the afternoon. In two different towns. ugh. Then more snow on Sunday. double ugh.
This may sound like a bitch session, which in some ways it is.... (it is my blog, after all. I can bitch if I want to... ) but more just a way to let it out and maybe get some feedback on how others deal with it. I think I am just going to have to wait it out for better weather and more daylight. Spring is coming, spring is coming. It is coming, isn't it?
Have a great weekend!

See it in action:
Allow us to repeat that last part: this martial art works by cool poses. Seriously.
But would it actually work?
In the vast majority of cases where people survive gun fights (note the avoidance of the word "win") they do so not by dodging shots but by taking cover. The concept of "statistically-traditional trajectories of return fire" is laughable. That said ...
There are quite a few martial artists out there who've created something like the gun kata, including former ILF fighter M.A. Sotelo's Juu Kun Do. Or check out this actual karate class, where they're learning the technique. It's best not to show up on live ammo day.

What flat-earthers have got right
CBS News recently ran a documentary about flat-earthers: people who insist the Earth is actually flat. According to them, the sun is a small orb in the sky floating above Earth.
"We've never been to space. Period," said Patricia Steere, a leader in the Flat Earth movement.
According to flat-earthers, a massive conspiracy is keeping this information secret from humanity. Flat-earthers gather online and in person to discuss their theories, even running their own experiments to disprove the curvature of the Earth."We're supposed to be spinning at a thousand miles per hour, but we can't feel it," said Netta Hagler, a Flat Earth community organizer. "I don't believe I'm spinning right now."
Flat-earthers make for a good documentary because it's baffling that anyone could believe in such an outddated idea despite encountering airplanes, time zones, telescopes, GPS systems and shadows. Doesn't their logic crumble upon mild examination?
But there's something deeper here than a ridiculous scientific theory. Flat-earthers are asking a hard question: How do you know what you know? Does it come from your personal experience? From science? Photos? Or do you just listen to so-called experts?
A friend of mine once filmed a documentary about flat-earthers (different documentary, I think?). He said that for every fact he threw at the flat-earthers, they had an answer. It's not that they hadn't thought about counterarguments. In fact, they seem to revel in coming up with explanations.
"The Flat Earth thing is like everything else to me. I just want people to question everything," said Michael Hughes, a flat-earther who literally made his own homemade rocket and launched himself into the sky to see if the Earth was curved (he didn't get high enough). "Question what your congressman is doing, your city council. Question what really happened during the Civil War."
He gets at the uncomfortable idea that people, including authorities, really do lie all the time. We know this because we catch them every so often. From Nixon to Clinton to Trump, it's not hard to figure out that coverups may just be a daily reality in politics.
"It's a giant game of chess. We, all of us in humanity, are the pawns," added Steere. "Part of the whole Flat Earth thing is keeping us locked down, not knowledgeable about who we are, who we really are as people and what we're capable of."
Scientists are better sources of information on science than the rest of us. So even if a bit of doubt is useful, thinking the Earth is a flat disk is going too far. But perhaps that's the point of the Flat Earth theory — to make you decide where, exactly, you draw that line. Growing up, I believed what I was taught in school. The American government determines what my school taught. Now, the president of the American government is saying that humans don't cause climate change. Will that trend change what kids are taught in schools down the line?
Flat-earthers may be harmless, but other kinds of conspiracy theorists are all too relevant. Climate change deniers are leading American environmental policies. I have friends who don't believe in climate change because they've seen self-proclaimed "experts" say science doesn't back climate change in YouTube videos.
But perhaps flat-earther skepticism is also the cure. Maybe it's time for climate change deniers to take a leaf out of the flat-earther book and really examine where their information comes from.

Adding storage to a storage pool
About adding storage to storage pool
A storage pool is a collection of block storage that functions as a unit for backing up data. The pool acts as an automatic load balancer and ensures that data is evenly distributed across the various storage that are part of the pool.
You can have any number of primary storage in a storage pool. At any time, you can add more primary storage to an existing storage pool. However, there are two restrictions:
- You cannot add the same storage to more than one storage pool.
- Once added, you cannot remove a storage from a storage pool.
To add a new storage to an existing storage pool
- From the menu bar, click Manage > Storage.
- Under the Storage Pools tab, click the storage pool to which you want to add a storage.
- Under Assigned Storages, click Attach Storage.
- From the Storages to be added list, select the storage that you want to associate with the pool. The list displays only primary block storage that have not been assigned to any storage pool.
- Click Attach.

The Christian Orthodox Church or the Russian Church
There are, in Florence, places that are outside the traditional tourist routes, which are small hidden treasures to visit. This I am going to talk about is not a tour or a tour by foot, they are two very different places and not too close together. Two places of worship that make Florence a multi-religious city. First we are going to visit the Christian Orthodox Church also called the Russian Church which is located in Via Leone X, 12, 50129 Florence, Italy

Unlike the present times, women of the yesteryears were mere objects of home, untitled, bereft of civil and constitutional rights and deprived of any freedom. Had it not been for the women's rights activist, we would not have Hillary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, Indra Nooyi, Melinda Gates, Anna Patricia Botin or Taylor Swift at their top spots today! Talking of women's rights activists, American women's rights activist have played a pivotal role in the women suffragist movement. Be it 19th century civil rights leader Susan B Anthony or Amelia Bloomer, leader and strategist Alice Paul or first American woman Nobel laureate, Jane Addams, each of them committedly fought for social equality to give women an equal status in the society. It was for the efforts of these valiant women that the society turned to the issues concerning women. Basic amenities like freedom of speech, right to vote, gender discrimination, sexual and reproductive health rights, gender-based violence were unheard of concepts that women activists not just brought to the forefront but successfully conquered them to help uplift the status of women in society. Browse through this section to get details about the life and works of American women's rights activists.

The Tea Polyphenols are chemical compounds such as flavanoids and tannins found naturally in tea. The stock of polyphenols help to suppress the growth of harmful bacteria, while promoting beneficial bacteria in the gut. These polyphenols can also change the color of the tea, making it more reddish or brown. The ingredients used in these are a good source of boosting health and immunity. The blended mixture of Tea Polyphenols offers with a host of health benefits.
Dehydration is bad for the health. Hydration is required for normal body functions and that's why we drink when feel thirsty. The Harvard School of Public Health lists tea as one of the best sources of hydration, second only to water.
Antioxidants are good for our body. The content of tea plant helps to fight cell-damaging free radicals in the body. According to WebMD, tea has about eight to 10 times the polyphenol antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables.
Additionally, a serving of FLOETEA has an added amount of Vitamin C, a known antioxidant which is equal to 50% of the recommended daily requirement of Vitamin C.
A can (8oz) of regular major soft drinks like leading Cola products contains 100+ Calories compared to 40 calories in FLOETEA and 5 Calories FLOETEA ZERO at similar serving size.
Some research has shown that drinking tea may help prevent tooth loss; tea changes the pH in your mouth, which may prevent cavities. At the very least, it appears not to harm tooth enamel like some beverages do.
The Tea Association of the USA explains that more than 3,000 published research studies exist that evaluate the role of tea and tea compounds, such as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), may play in cancers. The effects apply to a number of different cancers and are linked to varying degrees of significant success.
A cup of brewed black tea provides 30+% of the recommended daily intake for women and 20+% for men. Manganese may promote healthy wound healing, helps maintain the strength of bones and supports metabolism.
A British study found that people who drank tea were able to de-stress (relax after a period of work or tension) more quickly than those who didn't. As well, during the study the tea drinkers – who drank black tea four times a day for six weeks – had lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol in their blood after a stressful event, compared with a control group who drank a placebo.
There are a lot of literature out there on tea and heart health. This is a health effect for which there is the strongest evidence. In a large prospective study showed that daily tea consumption was associated with a reduced risk of Ischaemic Heart Disease (IHD).

TEA is the most popular beverage on the planet after water, was an extraordinary innovation of mankind. When it comes to the world of tea, the first fact to know is that all the different teas are prepared from the tender shoots of tea plant "Camellia Sinensis". There are few key varieties of made tea namely, black tea, green tea, oolong tea, white tea etc. The differences in each these teas are resulted mainly by the manufacturing method and the degree of oxidation (Amarakoon, 2004). Amongst all, Black tea is the most popular and heavily consumed tea type in the world. When considering global tea production, Khan & Mukhtar (2017) indicates that "from the worldwide tea production 78% is black tea, which is usually consumed in the Western countries, 20% is green tea, which is commonly consumed in Asian countries, and 2% is Oolong tea which is produced (by partial fermentation) mainly in southern China". Black tea is available in many forms today, such as loose tea, packed tea, tea bags, and instant tea mixtures and ready to drink beverages. Most of these tea types are served and consumed in the form of both hot tea and iced tea. Among these different black tea types, the iced tea consumption is at a rise. As cited by "tea fact sheet" of tea association of the USA (2018), approximately 75 - 80% of tea consumed in America is iced. According to "Statistica" Statistical portal (2019), the global iced tea consumption is expected to grow up to 45 billion liters in 2021, in comparison to the consumption of 37 billion liters in 2016.For a typical cup of tea, apart from its flavor and refreshing qualities, a health-wise important fact is the water-soluble compounds and the nutrients. All the health benefits that described hereafter, are associated with different compounds and nutrients available in black tea.
Health Benefits of Black Iced Tea:
Hydration is the most profound health benefit that you would get from drinking tea, especially the refreshing Iced Tea types. An average cup of tea contains 99.65 percent water and the balance being water-soluble components of tea. (Zoysa, 2008). Some studies have shown that tea drinking has helped in hydration even under conditions when the fluid balance was under stress. (Scott et al, 2004). On the other hand, when taken in plain, the calorific value of a cup of black tea is almost zero (tea advisory panel, w.d) which is a negligible amount. These facts provide the indication that a cup of black tea or has the capability to hydrate the body without adding any excess calories into the body. This is not the same with other soft drinks or carbonated beverages as most of these contain a higher percentage of sugar and other minerals such as sodium. Therefore, iced black tea is a perfect alternative to provide daily fluid intake as well as the needed refreshment in a healthy style.
Antioxidant properties
Tea polyphenols are known to be a great source of antioxidants. Cao et al. (1996) have indicated that "both green and black tea has much higher antioxidant activity against peroxyl radicals than vegetables such as garlic, kale, spinach, and Brussels sprouts". As described by Zoysa (2008) "most of the beneficial effects of polyphenol are due to their antioxidant activity which enables those molecules to neutralize free radicals". Venarucci, (1999) indicates that "antioxidants could limit cell damage occurring during the disease of old age, and thereby improve the quality of life of the elderly". According to these findings, it is evident that Black tea is a great source of antioxidant intake into the body. Consumed in iced tea form, there are chances of consuming more tea per intake and it is a proven fact that tea is a very healthy alternative to any other beverage.
Protection from heart diseases
In addition to the major benefits discussed above, there is much evidence to say that black tea can help in cardiovascular diseases. Most common heart disease type is the coronary heart disease, (CHD) where the coronary arteries are partially blocked, and causing restrictions to blood flow. (Modder & Amarakoon, 2002). Many biomedical studies have shown that tea flavanols can inhibit the occurrence of CHD. Epidemiological evidence, particularly from a 10–15-year follow-up of cohorts of 550–800 men from the Zutphen Study in the Netherlands, reveals a strong inverse association between flavonol intake and coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality (Hertog et at., 1997). These significant benefits are unique for a beverage like black tea or Iced tea when compared with other popular soft drinks and carbonated drinks.
Prevention of Diabetes
Research has been done for many years to find out the impact of tea compounds on Diabetes. As cited by Ong and Khoo, (1996) "some plant extracts contain substances which could mimic the action of insulin and help in managing the type 2 or non-insulin dependent diabetes. They further indicate that "the flavonol, Myricetin found in black tea and some other plants were found to mimic insulin in its stimulation of lipogenesis and glucose uptake through the cell membrane, in rat adipocytes". According to studies, Tea catechins, especially EGCG, appear to have anti obesity and antidiabetic effects (Kao et al., 2006). This proves that whiteout added sugar or milk; tea can be a perfect alternative to diabetes patients as well. Unlike in consuming sweetened soft drinks, in tea drinking, adverse diabetes-related impacts are minimized.
Cancer prevention
With the identification of properties of tea compounds, many research has been done to identify the impact of tea on cancer prevention. As cited by Weisburger (2001) "research had indicated that tea and tea polyphenols interfere with or inhibit carcinogenesis at initiation or during the further stages, by a different mechanism. It also indicates that tea consumption decreases the growth rate of tumor cells and prevents metastasis and the formation of large tumors". Further, the studies suggest that "tea compounds have many mechanisms by which they provide chemo-protection: reducing free radical and DNA damage; inhibiting uncontrolled cell growth (cell proliferation) by promoting programmed cell death (apoptosis); and boosting the immune system to help fend off the development and promotion of cancer cells" (Leonardis, 2017). This fact proves that tea, particularly iced tea or black tea cannot be treated as an ordinary beverage. It is a magical creation of nature to cure mankind.
In conclusion, as we elaborated through this article, the carbonated soft drinks or powdered juices are often loaded with sugar, sodium and many such excessive compounds. With increasing health concerns in today's lifestyle, it is time to make a switch to something natural. That's why we recommend and introduce "Floetea Zero" which will be a perfect alternative to any regular soft drink. This product is all natural and contains no added sugar. It is available with or without caffeine and brings you the refreshing energy in a delightful way. It's time to enjoy your Floetea Zero!.

Contemplation: Oranges, Silver, and Red Teapot
Contemplation refers both to deep reflective thought, as well as the action of looking thoughtfully at something for a long time.
The aim of this painting is to inspire both. By creating a calm, quiet stage, it invites you to settle in, close off the outside world, and allow a few moments of peaceful meditation to inspire and refresh your mind and spirit.
And yet, a painting is never a completely static experience. Careful selection and placement of the objects encourage the eye to take a leisurely journey through the composition, stopping here and there to appreciate the details, while stepping back to enjoy the effect of the whole.
Good paintings are always blends of thought and action, noun and verb. Static moments melding with active engagements inspire memories and feelings, and reawaken something precious in the viewer's mind and heart.
"Contemplation: Silver and Orange" has sold, and is now being enjoyed by a collector. To see more like it, click the "View Similar Paintings" button below.
