Ian Foster, New Zealand
After a couple of exciting years I was heading into a stage where there were no projects and winter was looming. I mentionedto a couple of hard case mates I wouldn't mind restoring a vehicle something like a 42 LRDG truck, they both smiled as they are enthusiastic military vehicle owners. A couple of discussions followed, nothing serious and then on a wet Sunday afternoon Mike and Reg turned up for a brew with a couple of parts for a 42 Chev-jerry can and pump. Reg knew where some parts were and said he was going to see the guys (Norbert & Vince) that owned them very soon. That's a whole story in itself. Meantime I had started a bit of research, first reading all of Brendon O'Carroll's books then scouring Google images. The time spent behind a magnifying glass staring at pictures had my wife thinking I was close to needing some psychiatric treatment.
As time rolled on word spread and as with any restoration, people came out of the wood work helping to locate parts. It was at this time I was given a copy of a signal from the Mideast Command detailing exactly what they wanted on the 200 new 1942 Chev 30cwt trucks, the 1533 × 2. This, together with the photos of the Breda Truck of T patrol, T10 and a scrappy old Chev truck manual the build was started. So in September 2009 the new project began and is still going. What follows is a shortened summary of four years of work, three on T10 and one year on the Breda.

The arrival of the truck from the South Island. (Sep 2009)
First question –"Are you insane, you're going to make it out of that?" Yep- more psychiatric evaluation!
On close inspection,you can see there are two chassis, one 30 cwt, one 3 ton, giving a bit to choose from. Not a military hub insight, but the first item to be ticked off the list – aheavy duty Timkin front axle, front hubs on the way.
The dismantle, clean& sort
Who knows how long these two had sat out in the paddock? One thing was very obvious from the start, the old grease and grime was not going to give up easily. The first three months was spent stripping all parts, cleaning and putting into trays to simplify the rebuild. Degreaser, the scraper and the wire wheel were the weapons of choice. Being similar aged Chevs it wasgreat to be able to choose which parts would be used for the rebuild. All parts were treated as rare as I didn't know(at this stage) what was out there in the way of spare parts.
The chassis
The choice of which chassis would be used was made very quickly as the stiffening plates on the 3 tonnechassis were taken off. Yep rust never sleeps and it had been doing a grand job over the years. I can't say that about the rivets- they held their own to the bitter end. The 30cwt chassis won with only the cross member under the cab which was rotten needing replacing. The 3 ton chassis became the donor and went on to be the source for three other projects. Amazing how good the steel is even after 70 plus years. Seeing the chassis all primed grey and ready for the next stage was certainly satisfying. One small step for man kind
The motor
Both motors were seized so I pulled the spark plugs out and took the side plates off both; one had a bent push rod and plenty of rust. The other looked ok and had oil to the full mark on the dip stick. It was time to take a chance. I had heard other people had done this so I filled the bores up with diesel and WD40 and left it sitting there for six weeks, plenty of other things to do. After this, each week I used a power bar and socket and give it a small tweak until after a while the crank turned 360 degrees. From there we progressed until we used the starter motor to work the engine. Once the motor was flushed and new oil added it was time to go for broke. A good cup of fuel straight down the carb, it roared into life. It's still going to day- it doesn't want to idle but goes well at the top end. Thanks, to the experienced Chev lovers; Jonesy, Chris, Greg & Ross who have put in the hours to get it to run smoothly.
The tray
Many hours were spentscaling off the numerous photos of the tray. The best aid for finding thecorrect scalewas from a photo of an issue enamel mug on the side of the tray.I hunted down books on the Gotfredson 4B1steel ammunition body, the best information was in WA Greggs books. I even managed to talk to Mrs Gotfredson; the widow of the founder of the company, only to find out the military collected all the plans at the end of the war. Of course they would. The Gotfredson's have a web site showing their trucks etc. Anyway, the body is very close to original dimensions. If I ever did another one I now know where the changes would be. With Reg skilfully manoeuvring the tray with the Hiab and Mike spraying the finishing touches we managed to get it mounted on the Sunday before Cambridge Armistice 2012. Thanks Guys
The cab
There are only two ways you can do the cab; one – you are blessed with a complete cab and you have the time and skills to manipulate and change the whole structure, or two – you collect pieces from all over the place, clean them up and then get an expert to do it. Fortunately for me the second worked-a big thanks to Bob, otherwise the project would still be going. At a quick glance one may say there is nothing to it. This is equal to saying the desert doesn't get cold…moving on. The back of the cab is changed, the dash is vertical, the glove box is changed, the guards are widened and grill modified. Sorry didn't mention things such as running board, rifle racks etc. The photo bottom centre was two weeks before Armistice, what a day; John, Miles, Mike pitched in and assembled the cab. With all the components coming from different vehicles there was a fair bit of sweat to make the parts fit. We ran out of hands and screw drivers (you had to be there) at times getting the grill in. I really appreciated the help guys. Both Mike and Miles had LRDG vehicles in the display. John is nearing completion of a restoration as well.
The diff
A quick word on the diff;the correct diff for the 1533 are a rare beast, one could say it doesn't exist. It certainly doesn't in NZ. The hubs are unique as they carry the same brakes as the front axle; makes sense- one size of brake shoes and components fits all. The mounting plate for the backing plate is square not round. The last part which is so elusive is the two speed diff. So at this stage I'm still looking for the lever operated addition which will shorten the drive shaft again. This diff came from the UK(thanks Jeremy), another story within a story, aye Reg
Cambridge Armistice 2012
After three years with D Day only a matter of sleeps away there was still a long way to go. To cut a long story short; not much sleep, huge amount of help from good mates and a marathon effort from my wife who kept the troops fed (if you have a dead line with a vehicle you know how it goes). T10 was being picked up by an Army transporter at 0930. Needless to say the last bolts were being tightenedwhen they arrived. Thanks to everybody that has helped replicate a vehicle that is steeped in history and was used to provide reliable transport around a very unforgiving terrain by the courageous group of men in the LRDG
Cambridge Armistice was great success as there were four 1533X2 Chevs, a Willys Jeep and a static display by Brendan O'Carroll for the LRDG display. The piece of 38 round tube under a cam net on the back of T10 didn't fool many but it did hint at what was to come.
The Secret Cable
What did they want on the order of 1533×2s? This list is taken off the signal word for word.
(200) Commercial two wheel drive chassis wheel base near 133"(.) Timkin front axle(.) Auxiliary rear springs(.) shock absorbers front and rear(.)engine driven air pump(.) 10.50 × 16 tyres front and rear(.)heavy duty radiator(.) heavy duty breather(.) heavy duty oil bath air cleaner(.)speedometer adapter and ?*(.) diff ratio 6.17 to 1(.)Collapsible windshield(.) Open type cab as required in my OS/62052(.) *can't read
The Breda
So after a break over the Christmas holidays, it was time to get on to the exciting bit, the Mitragliera Breda Mod 35 20mm. Armed with numerous pictures off the net and some very detailed photos from Roberto I set about scaling off the many pieces of the mount and the gun. It was a daunting task at the start, beginning with the gun and slowly moving on down. I lost count of how many batteries I went through in the Vernier callipers. Roberto also supplied many great images of pages out of the Breda hand book, these helped immensely as they show the individual parts that needed to be made. After about two months I had enough measurements to start making some plywood shapes. The mock up was placed in the back of the truck to check if it was to the right dimension. After having the dimensions of the body of the gun checked for accuracy against the real thing it was off to the laser cutters(funny looking machine parts). This project was more tiring than the truck, it was finish work, home, manufacture/ weld dinner then back to scaling off photos and getting drawings ready for the next lot of laser cutting.
Once again it was down to the wire, with 5 am starts, assembling parts with wet paint, enough said we made it, just over four years and T10 is finished but for a few modifications.
Cambridge Armistice 2013
Another fantastic weekend, the LRDG display was on the right environment – sand (beach volley ball court but never the less, sand). This time four 1533 ×2s and two jeeps,proof that there are still a number of Desert Vehicles being preserved for the sake of history. Also men that rise up for the cause; Mike, Reg, Bob, Miles, John, Greg, Chris, Graham, Shaun, Roberto, Brendan and Kuno to name a few. Thanks men, I appreciate your help.
T10 isn't finished yet; there is still a lot to do. One point that has come out of this project is whoever came up with the idea of combining the 1533X2 and the Breda Mod 35 hit on a winner. The Breda balances the truck and creates a smoother ride improving its handling. Sitting in the gunner's seat you get a clear field of view and about 150 degrees of traverse (albeit cramped). The Breda was well ahead of its time, accurate and reliable with a good rate of fire, single or automatic. It is also one of a few weapon systems that replaces the spent round back in the clip making it easy to clear the limited space. Seventy six Bredas were still in service in Finnish Defence Forces in 1985- a good testimony to its thoroughbred. Enough raving, here are the characteristics of the two

"Secret Agent Man" by DEVO (1976)
You can see this in the (scimpy dense) "Looking at Music" exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art. But, as it is screening on a television set with less than reliable headphones, you won't gain much in the way of quality by viewing it there. Youtube suffices!
We might just change the name of this blog to "Things I saw at the MoMA."
Dear Readers,
Thank you for your patience whilst I took an unwanted break from CM. I don't know what happened exactly, but in midst of summer magics, moving around a lot, doing shit, and intermittent internet connections, this thing sort of fell through the cracks (many they are).

The synagogue is a place where we come together to experience community. Our tradition offers us a myriad of opportunities to do so, whether it be through study, sharing a meal or engaging in social justice activities.
Our people's deepest desires and longings are made manifest through the voice of prayer. Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel wrote, "Prayer may not save us. But prayer may make us worthy of being saved." When we come together as a community to offer prayer, we create a complete vision of the world and our place within it.
Shabbat services at University Synagogue are joyful, exuberant and heart-opening. We join together through song and study of torah, simultaneously exploring ancient traditions and creating new paths.

Hello Everyone. I just completed a 10 week challenge thing-y. Just another way to hold myself accountable in this journey. To be honest it was pretty fun to see how people were doing from a week to week basis and how excellent it is to see the results roll in.
I gave myself a 45 pound goal at the beginning. I came up a little short losing just over 40. Still pretty happy though.
If you are involved in a similar quest to change your health I would ask you to consider taking occasional pictures to take a look at. For me it has really helped along the journey. -Clint

As a mum, I have a lot of things to do and limited time in which to do them.
Looking after the kids, running a house, cooking, cleaning, keeping on top of the laundry, running my own business, seeing my friends – I find it hard to do everything and consequently something often has to give.
Unfortunately, what often gives is cleaning the house; with a million things to do and with limited time to do it all, I have to prioritise and often surface cleaning is all I can manage.
It is always good to access help when and where you can. Having a cleaner can really help you by giving you more time to spend doing the more important things in your life, like spending time with your kids and earning a living!
This is where Bristol cleaning company Gleem comes in. Gleem prides itself on being a high quality, on demand cleaning company. Set up by Bristolian, Joseph Edwards, Gleem's cleaners work in teams and asks for feedback following every clean. Gleem also pays its cleaners higher wages and offers them bonuses for good feedback, thus ensuring quality house cleans.
It is quick and easy to book a Gleem house clean, you just go to the Gleem website and pick a time and day that suits you.
This week Gleem came round to my house to do a house clean. The cleaners, Hajnal and Zoltan, arrived on time and were pleasant and polite. They asked if there were any parts of the house that I wished them to concentrate on to which I asked for my bathroom to be given an extra good clean. My bathroom definitely needed a good deep clean and scrub!
Gleem provides its own cleaning materials and equipment and Hajnal and Zoltan had brought a hoover, mop and bucket, cleaning fluids, cloths and gloves.
They then quietly set to work while I went back downstairs to carry on with my work.
Following my house clean two hours later, I went around the house to inspect Hajnal and Zoltan's efforts.
I don't think there is anything quite as lovely as the sight and smell of a newly, thoroughly cleaned house! Hajnal and Zoltan had left my house scrubbed clean, tidy, shiny and literally gleaming.
My bathroom was left shiny and spotless…
I noticed that even things like skirting boards had been cleaned; it's exactly this type of deep cleaning that I often just don't have the time to do.
The cleaners had also left a Gleem Clean checklist on the kitchen counter which detailed exactly where and what had been cleaned. Along with the checklist were also some money off vouchers for my next house clean, plus two little bags of lavender which was a nice touch.
I am genuinely pleased with my Gleem house clean. Having a thoroughly clean house has made a huge difference to my week and I thoroughly recommend Gleem to other busy parents.
If you would like to book a one-off or regular house clean with Gleem, visit https://www.gleem.co.uk/ to book a time and day convenient to you.
* Disclosure: Gleem Clean cleaned my house in exchange for a review on Bristol Mum. However, my views and opinions are my own and I was really pleased with the house clean which Gleem provided.

Former EastEnders and Extras star Shaun Williamson is among the famous faces battling it out in the new run of Celebrity Fame Academy.
He revealed how he got involved with the show: "They contacted me I assume on the back of Extras which was a massive hit and a great thing to be a part of.
"I've been offered things before of a similar ilk and turned them down, but this time I thought 'stuff it, I love singing, I've been doing it for a long time before the acting came along, and it is for charity'."
He adds: "It's a chance to do some good and I really enjoy doing singing."
There is one aspect of the show Shaun is dreading – being away from his family if he gets inside the Academy. "That's one of the things I'm looking forward to less than the singing, but they don't film you when you're sleeping or that nonsense, and I think it's all part of the challenge."
The star is well known for his ability to belt out a tune – he's previously wowed audiences in the West End, so does that give him an unfair advantage over the others?
"Yes and no, because I watched Soapstar Superstar recently and there were some cracking singers.
"Ultimately, I think it becomes a popularity contest. No matter how well you can sing, to be honest. If you go out an act like an idiot people won't vote for you."

A few last thoughts...Trip Leg 5
Guest Blogger - Tom Burt
Looking back I think I got the luckiest section of the trip with surf every day and no wind, fog, rain etc. I have to say thanks to all the others who captained Devon to this point and in the future for all their work. I found out that traveling by bike is an exceptional way to see, but also hear, smell, and feel the places you are seeing. So much different than traveling by car where you only see things for a second not minutes.
Thinking of exceptional, Devon got some extra smells while riding being downwind of my butt the whole trip. I would say his eyes were watering quite often.
Something about Devon "Raney #23" in general.
Devon is one motivated individual. First to put on wetsuit, last to take it off. Even after riding all day.
Always ready to do whatever. Even go down a 600 vertical cliff trail to get to surf, he really trusted me on that one. He sweated more going down that trail than at any other time during the trip. I cannot imagine the amount of energy Devon spent just going down. The best part was that a local surfer called him into his first wave at that spot.
Devon hated me for buying rotisserie chicken but was stoked to eat it. I am sure he has some sort of hantavirus or other rodent disease from the bagels that had gotten chewed. I know I am feeling a bit weird.
Devon wanted this shot on the tractor for his grand dad.
And I had to put in the new $10 sunglasses that he picked out. Looking good Lewis!!
I would also have to say we must have incurred the most G-forces on the bike ripping around the sharp corners on the down hills. I hardly used the brakes, only when we were doing 40 mph into a 15 mph corner. The trailer just pushes your momentum down the hills like an engine and this being my real first time on a road style bike I was stoked we did not wad it up at speed around those corners. Devon would just feel me lean into a turn, and he would just trust me and lean with me keeping the bike balanced throughout the turn and the trailer just pushing us along.
I am pretty sure Michael Jackson is alive!! We saw him in Monterey or at least this guy who made 10 dollars is the two minutes when we were there. That guy was on pace to make $300 an hour so I am sure that was Michael.
And last a special shout out to all the Big Sur area locals who were open to have us surf in their back yards. Jake Davi, Dave and his son, Dan and the others, who's names I can't remember or did not get. Thanks for sharing.

What are the Benefits of Indoor Cycling?
According to the U.S. Department of Health ".....regular physical activity substantially reduces the risk of coronary disease, stroke, colon cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure.....and helps to control weight, contributes to healthy bones, muscles and joints... reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression..." Need we go on? Cycling is also "low-impact" without the joint stress that you get from "ground-pounding" sports and activities. All good reasons to strap-in/clip-on and RYDE!
Eat Mindfully to Avoid Holiday-Stress-Related Overeating
Dawn Wolfe
Ah, the holidays! That time of year when the days have gotten so much shorter while our list of things to do, places to go, and people to see becomes (at least) twice as long. Not to mention all of those exhortations we hear, from the radio to the mall to Aunt Edith's house, to "Eat, Drink, and Be Merry!"
Between holiday busyness, holiday stress and all of those extra occasions involving food it can be hard for even the most committed person to stick to a healthy meal plan.
So what's a health-conscious person to do? One tactic that will help you avoid too many extra calories – while enjoying the ones you do eat – is a practice called eating mindfully. Better yet, mindful eating can encourage us to be more mindful at other times as well – and mindfulness is a fantastic stress-buster.
How is it done? First, by doing your best to be aware of every bite. Not in terms of calories, either – mindful eating is a process of feeling the textures of the food and drink we consume, appreciating the tastes, and being thankful for the bounty of the season. When we slow down, practice gratitude, and truly enjoy our food we don't just enjoy the experience more, we also become more aware when we've had enough.
Mindful eating is also about relaxation. This isn't a race, it's a snack or a meal – inhale, exhale, take a few moments between bites. Take in the scene, the people, the conversation and the scents around you. Let your food be part of your overall experience of the moment instead of shoveling it in to get past the meal portion of the event as soon as possible.
Finally, remember that you don't have to eat a full portion of everything that's on offer. Take your time making your food selections – what will taste wonderful to you now, keep you energized for the rest of your day or evening, and leave you feeling your best even later? It's OK to eat one cookie, or half a piece of even your mother's pie.
These are our ideas about mindful eating – for more, visit Cooking Light's excellent article on the topic. And don't forget, RydeOn is here for you with classes to fit your schedule around the holidays – just click here and we'll help you work off even the most enjoyable holiday calories!

Thank you for visiting the CFM - FM pages.
We would love to hear from you, click Add to sign my guestbook!
Carmen Calloway U.S. A
Thank you for this site, it really helped me to research a condition a very dear friend of mine has that is similar to FM, but her doctor says that she has Fibro Miosis. Again thank-you
Great Site! Finally found interesting information and the fact that CFS & FIBRO can hit any "age" - but the mystery still lingers on!! Will keep this site on my "favourites" to follow up! I am also a newly diganosed R.A. SUFFERER in a "crisis' - severe flare up! Does it follow along with having CFS & FIBROMYALIGIA? Sure would like to know how to build "immune system up" to fight off all these ailments! That's all I here-- it's your immune system!! Surely to God, soon they (doctors?researchers?) will locate the genetic problem, maybe too late for me (age 67) but for future generations,(my children and grandchildren). Thanks Dorothy Morris
My Partner has just been told that she has this condition. I think that I suffered from it 30 years ago when I had pain in the neck and shoulders so much so that it made me think that life was not worth living. But this was probably part of the condition. I resolved the problem by yoga, exercise and changing my job to one that interested me. Does this make sense
I've had Fibromyalgia since 1990. Your web site has been vey helpful to me. Back in'90 I was at Mayo clinic for my illness. But I have not seen a Doctor since then. Tha past couple of weeks I have have a lot of pain in my neck, and also very painful headaces, dizzleness, and loss of memory. My condition has seem to have got worse since I first got this disorder. Is there any thing that you can tell me. Thanks, Mark Burkett
I am a physical therapist in Oklahoma. Thank you for your site and all the straight talk. I will refer my patients to your web page. Keep up the good work, and good luck with FM in the future
I have been suffering from FM since a car accident in 1995. The doctors use to tell me that it was stress or a pulled muscle. I have found a doctor now that knows of FM, but I would like further information. Thank you
I have been suffering from FM since a car accident in 1995. I have finally found a doctor that knows what it is and their not telling anymore that it's stress or just me. I would like to know more about FM. Thank you.

I'm at my wits end and I need a miracle.I can't tolerate or endure this pain and other symptoms anymore.Please Help Me if you can. Thankyou
Happened by your site...I was diagnosed with ME/CFS back in 1986. You have a wonderful site..and thanks for your efforts :) Leni
Thank you for all of this information. I had begun to think I was crazy.
It was good just to read another person's thoughts about this disease. I too am a sufferer and am having difficulty at times dealing with this. I also was diagnosed with a form of anemia that will never get better. It is comforting to know there are others out there like me. Thanks!
I have suffered with ME/CFS since the fall of 1989 and have tried to read everything I could get my hands on to help myself (when I could read, of course). I returned to full time work 2 1/2 years ago but cannot physically do all I used to do. God has granted me the wisdom to know the difference and for that I am thankful. He has been my biggest supporter as He never closes and His line is never busy. I encourage all to seek His help and establish a personal relationship with Him. He truly makes the hymn "Through it All" so meaningful to me.
As said before this site is excellent
Very informative and helpful site
Thank you for helping all of us to feel less isolated.
I have coping with this illness for so long it is hard to remember when it started. Going through millions of tests and having doctors tell me there is nothing wrong with me. I think that is the worst. I really appreciate this information. I am new to the internet and have your site very helpful. The thing that is comforting is hearing someone else say all the things I have said that no-one around me understands. If you have not experienced this yourself it is almost impossible to understand.
Babs, I just read your page and the serenity prayer is just what I needed. I have had fibromyalgia for 6 years. I read the comments from your other guests and even though I cried, it is nice to know we are not alone. My husband and family are very supportive but don't always understand. Keep up the fight!
Hello, I congradulate you on your award. I found an abundance of information on CFS/FMS. Myself being a patient with fibromyalgia and founder of a group in my area I will definitely use this site. You have done a great job for us patients with fibromyalgia. My support group thanks you and so do I.
Fibromyalgia and You
It's too late to send bottles, but I'll bet you'll remind us for next year!! Enjoyed your site - glad a friend reminded me to come and learn and sign in. Carone
Really enjoyed your site.First time I have come across it but i'll be back.I sent a thank you to MP Thompson for his work on Bill c 214.Let's keep our fingers crossed it passes through for all our sakes and future sufferers of these horrible conditions!KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!!!!!!
Great Site, I'm just learning how to get on this site, I'll be back for more info. It's too late to send the bottles, but I'll start saving them for next May 12. I hope they get the hint!!!!!!
I also suffer from fibro, it is a terrible desease to have, and I pray that someday soon, ther's a cure. Great Site
I have had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome since 1982. I subsequently developed Fibromyalgia after a car accident. All the best everyone!
I'm 30, have had FMS for about 10 to 12 years, I have 2 children and a p-t job and a loving husband and none of them understand. I have printed out your guide for family and friends and have left it on the fridge for my family to read. Thank you, I often have trouble explaining myself to them and this will help. Great site, will be sending off my bottle.
Great Website. Glad to hear about the efforts to increase the awareness for all of these issues. I too have been recently diagnosed with FM & CFS. I'm glad that a day has been identified to help focus on these issues and I will be "sending off my bottle". Thanks for all your hard work.

just diagnosed at 42
I'm a/was dance instructor, a 31year old mother of two great children and a wife to a wonderful, understanding husband. I have been feeling blue since 1998 because no Doctor understood how I felt. I was recently diagnosed with CFS, from a doctor in Santa Barbara, California. I just started to surf the net and have been seeing many beautiful colors other than blue. Some of the letters that I have been reading have brought back a smile in me that I thought had left for good. Thank You because these smiles help to know that I'm not alone
Hi Babs! I like this site - very clear (except for typing put on a slant ie. italics) and excellent use of graphics to illustrate your points. It's good work! Especially enjoyed the section on Snake Oil today! Keep up the good work. LOL karen in ham
Hi Babs, Thank you for the work you have done with the Message in a Bottle project. It is a novel idea and hopefully will gain some exposure, education and funding for our illness. MB
Hello Barb! I've been dx in 1996 with FMS. I didn't go back to work since. This is a wonderful website. We need more of it in Canada. I like your idea of activism-mission. We can do lots of things from beds and with a computer. Good luck and thanks
"The Serenity Prayer", my favourite, since I've being old enough to understand prayer,long before I too,used it to cope, "get through", this "thing" called FM!

Thanks for such a wonderful site. I am a victim of CFIDS; FM; Post-Polio Syndrome; degenerative disk disease; interstitial cystitis, and the list goes on. It took me 4 long, frustrating years to obtain my social security disability income. I did have a pension from my employer that I only fought for for 8 months - but for it you only had to be unable to preform your present job. I was a Court Reporter. Can you imagine trying to get every word down that was said in court? I have been unable to work since 5/95, but my medical record indicate I was misdiagnosed since 1982 when the CFIDS actually began. Those diagnoses were arthritis, allergies, deparession, IBS, colitis, etc. I finally located a doctor well known in the field of CFIDS and he was wonderful - but had stopped taking medicare patients. I can't afford him now as my insurance won't pay if medicare doesn't pay first. Oh well, the search continues. I have located a good internist who is very understanding and prescribes the medications I was prescribed by the specialist. Maybe one day doctors will be more educated about these horrible conditions. And I certainly hope the public will. Again great site. Thanks for all your effort.
What a wonderful idea. I'm sure many people will find this information helpful. I found it to be interesting and insightful.
Thanks for the info. Apparently my mom has FM and she got me to look at this site. It's a real attention getter.

Great webpage very informative, and easy to get around.
Hi Barb It's me again,I see so many have come to your site ether to give support or come for support.I do hope you know that you have done a wonderful site. All that have come to visit your site have the comfort of knowing they are not alone.Good luck Doris
I just want to say thank you for the effort you have taken to put this together Babs. Reading your web page has really struck a few chords in our hearts that we often avoid playing because they're too painful to think or talk about. I think Laura is going to get on here sometime. You may here from her. May God richly bless you and your family! Scott.

What a wonderful job you have done. I have suffered with Fibro for quite a few years now. It is not a fun thing. Unfortunately, because you don't look sick people think that you are just a malingerer. It is because of people like you that our world is a little brighter. Thankyou. P.S. Feel free to get in touch with me.
I was diagnosed with FMS/CFS last November, however I have suffered for many years. By reading websites like yours and belonging to groups such as firstname.lastname@example.com has helped me to understand my disability. Thank you for this wonderful site.
Nice site. I am still reading it and will be for some time. DX FMS 9/99 Takes a few readings sometimes before I get it, you know? Thank you for the info!
i have been suffering from FMS since i was very young. i was diagnosed when i was about 14, i am now 25 years old. i find it very difficult to explain FMS to my coworkers and friends; when they playfully hit me and i wince they call me a wimp. when i am not able to work everyday they call me lazy...it is extremely frustrating. i would like the public's awareness of CFS and FMS to be raised so that the myths of each illness will no longer be a weight on any of our shoulders.

This is my second try at this, think I lost my last comment in cyber-space due to fog! I have suffered with FMS for almost 31 years. When finally diagnosed in 1991, I felt relieve in knowing I was not insane. Last year my doctor strongly suggested I quit work and stay home. I of course applied for Canadian Pension Disability, but many of us know how our government treats those suffering from this "invisible" disability. Thank you for providing canadians with the opportunity to become involved with the Message in a Bottle campaign to get our voices heard and the message across. If there's anyway I can help, let me know.
I have had CFS for 4yrs this June. I was only diagnosed last fall. I was an RN until I got sick, but am still involved in health information via the Internet. I feel it gives me some direction. I am curious, since I have been sick I have been stricken with intolernace to heat, and accompanying that, my hands and feet get very, very got. It is strange, I have to use cold packs to get relief. Anyone else have that problem. I just got on to your site, but am looking forward to reading it. liz krum
Hi: Just found your site from the fibrohugs site in the states. Another late night of severe pain, and worries. I have had fibromyalgea since childhood. I wasn't diagnosed until 26. I am now 34. My mother tried to find a diagnosis for various symptoms she observed in me as a child. Later I hid the pain, thought it was just a part of life, everyones not just mine. I started wearing makeup although I wasn't supposed to. This hid the run down, tired,dark circles under my eyes greenish-yellowish anemic look I had always had. Without the physical appearance of unhealthyness, and the onset of my teen years, my mother stopped worrying as much, regarding my looks and behavior and put some of them off to typical teenage years behaviors. That was until one day, I slept in a bit late, and didn't bother putting on my make up before coming down stairs in the morning. A habit I'd gotten into to hide the fact that I was wearing light make up. The first words from my mothers words were the exact words I'd heard many many times as a young child. Are you sick, you don't look well, your skin looks greenish yellow, you must need more iron or something, you have dark circles under your eyes. I think you better go to your doctor. I explained with the frustration that had built up in childhood from the many teasings I got from siblings regarding my ill appearance. I said I'm not sick, this is me, this is how I always look. Mom argued that it wasn't how I always look and told me to go look in the mirror again. I finally explained, I just don't have any makeup on today. My mother said you don't wear makeup. I said yes I do, I only wear natural looking makeup, but I've worn it for years. I put it on first thing in the morning before you see me and I've gradually added more over the years as you got used to it. My mother said I thought you had gotten better, but if that is the difference that makeup makes, and it looks that natural, you better go back up and put it on, and don't go anywhere without it because you look sick without it and healthy with it on. Later as injuries were recieved, the pain, sleep and other problems increased. At age 24 I again began looking for the cause of my pain, fatigue and other problems. At age 26, and after much hassle, ignorance, neglect etc. I was finally diagnosed. I thought I would get a diagnosis, treatment or whatever would fix the problems, and go on with my life goals. That wasn't to be the case. I applied for and recieved disability benefits via F.B.A. Disability. Due to my age, and medical condition as well as injuries, I hadn't been able to work enough time and put in enough pay to recieve Canada Pension Disability. One of the reasons I sought a diagnosis and cure in the first place besides the agony was I was unable to find a job that my condition didn't affect. Of course had I been diagnosed as a child perhaps a government disability through C.P.P. or some branch have been provided for. Or perhaps a pension through my father's work benefits and insurance plans. Then there are the doctors for which you are a pawn in the academic/social/medical argument game for. Those who patronize, lie to, ignore, and attack you when your already down on yourself and life enough from having the condition you do, and having watched your dreams float away. This was not the case. What aggrivates me additionally now, is the following. After having my life severely affected by a doctor who just didn't care, know or have the time for believing, hearing about or acting in a professional manner, and due to a home invasion forcing me to move, my benefits were interupted. My benefits were supposed to be permanent as well as my condition. Once I moved back, I have been further discriminated against because I've had my disabling condition since childhood and there for was refused C.P.P. Disability. The new rules for O.D.S.P. (Ontario Disability Support Program)which was once called F.B.A. Disability or GAINS has been set up so that unless you are on C.P.P. Disability, you are not fast tracked as other disabled people are. You must go through the entire, and even more complicated process all over again. Add to that my not having most of my medical file thanks to the ignorant and prejudice doctor, and I've done without my financial income, as well as suffered from depression for some time now due to lack of income, and mistreatment by doctors. Talk about the "Isolation is" writing on this site, my isolation along with many of those other ones listed, is my mother-in-laws death, and my mother's illness and soon I'm sure to follow death. We couldn't afford to attend the funeral services, we have now learned my mother-in-law was being obstructed in her communications with us and died feeling she had been abandoned by us. The will and estate have been interferred with, and we can't afford legal councel, we can't even afford to go to Mom's home to try to enforce any rights we may still have legally to personal property such as photo's and documents, financial files etc. Isolation is when it seems no one cares, and yet you can't fight for yourself, when others won't or don't. It's when others say you are a somebody and should realize that about yourself, but you are treated like an invisible, valueless, burden on society that many wish would go away, and make it as difficult as possible for you to go on let alone want to go on. But onward I/we struggle. I didn't know where to put this, due to not knowing if this was the area for post, or just short guest sign ins. But I'm frustrated, angry, tired, and in alot of pain, so I posted the general ideas of my story. Lady Patrick
Barb, Thank you so much for a great job. It is about time someone is doing something to make people aware. What a wonderful site. If we dont stick together nothing will ever be done. I commend you on all your time and work as I know how difficult it is to keep going sometimes. If there is anything that I can do to help please dont hesitate to ask. I have suffered for years and was diagnosed by a Fibromyalgia Specialist. Even then I was turned down for Canada Pension and any help at all. I am sure that they all believe that it is all in our heads but you know if they wont listen to a specialist who will they listen to. Just the same I will never give up. I will fight them to the end. People with less problems are taken care of and that irks me. Oh well, push on and we will win. Thank you again and I support you 100%. Patricia Denis
Great web site, very informative. I suffer from FM/CFS and Osteoarthritis so I know how it must have been hard for you to get this site up and running.
Thank you for this wonderful web site. You express so well what so many of us feel. Donna

Good site. I suffer from FM-CFS,degenerative disc disease and other rhuematology/arthritic problems. I manage the CanWest FM/CFS internet support Group for BC-AB subscribers. Good Project you have going for May 12th.Pat
Good morning Barbara, I have printed out copies of the Mission Statement and Advocacy Plan to pass on to some ladies in my Taoist Tai Chi class who suffer from these illnesses. All the best and cheers, Judy Kelly
This is a wonderful site,I know it took a lot of energy to put all this information together.I thank you from the bottom of my heart,I wish you all my best for the good work you are doing for so many of us out here that are suffering with this illness.I will send this site to all my friends and help spread the word.Sweet Hug's Doris
hi, i've suffered from CFS & FMS for the last 14 years and was lucky to have had a very good doctor. however when i relocated i have struggled for the last 2 years with every health care professional i've been in contact with. i'm glad about your site. i am a support group leader for people with CFS & FMS and a member found this site. thankyou very much and i will do all i can to help. dianne
What a wonderful site? What inspiring -- yet realistic -- thoughts & concepts. I'm a "retired" public affairs consultant in San Diego, California -- also 54 and five years into this disgusting illness and looking for positive ways to make a difference. What group are you affiliating with in the USA? Lolts of groups out there on the www: Some very competitive, hence not productive; others have good ideas, but no skills. You made this a good Friday! I'll be back to visit again when I have more time. Warm regards, Marcie Wood
have had cfids for 8 years. was a social worker prior to my illness am glad to see this work being done I agree that we have to do more to get our government involved in actively pursuing cures and support programs (p.r. and p. ed) I am not sure that the length of the notice to Alan Rock is a good idea, as the more you include in the statements, the more likely individuals may not agree with the total statement and would therefore be reluctant to sign on. I think it is important to make such statements concise and factual as possible. to make them as inclusive as possible. Good for you for getting things rolling though. We canadians have not been as organized or active as our american counterparts. I'll be interested to hear more as we work together for change. Thanks
Always ready to help...
Mom, I read everything on your webpage and I can say that I'm very proud of you. Your really a great webpage designer! I'm very proud of you and hope your fighting spirit will motivate the Canadian/American Governments to do something about this horrific daymare/nightmare!! With love from Japan, Jay, Yuko and Tyler

Loved your website. I have FMS, and it's devastated my life. I am doing all the research I can, not only to help myself, but others, as well. Many of us have become energized about FMS Awareness Day and are trying to get the word out. Thank you for your great website. I will recommend it to others. Valerie
Read the message you sent yesterday and decided to visit you web site I'm still looking for help with this insurance thing,but it helped to read that someone else had problems with them as well. Not that they had problems but that I was not alone.I'm very new at this internet business, and I find it hard to get the most out of it. Anything you can suggest to help me with that??
Hi Babs,I stumbled on your website while browsing the ME/FM action network. I really like your site and can identify with what you are going through. I was involved in a car accident in August of 1997 and have not been the same person since. december 1998 I was diagnosed as having Fibromyalgia, in the meantime got on LTD, was cut off in July of 1999 and fighting the Insurance Company now, CPP did deny me benefits as well. Ia 55 years old, in May 56, so this is my story in condensed form. Take care, Louisa Ihns

Good job. A very impressive site
Dear Babs,I don't know why my name seemed familiar to you except I have been involved in one way or another with this movement (ME/CFS-FM) for the past ten years. I got ill in Sept/88 and in May/90 was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. I have been a part of the Mississauga and Oakville CFS support groups and the Oakville FM support group. I was co-leader in Oakville for the CFS self-help group for a little over four years. I was an area supervisor for a province wide York University research survey on the impact of CFS for a little over a year in the early 90s. This advocacy work has involved guest speaking on talk-in radio and to other support groups, tv taping for The Health Show on FM, on-call telephone support- to sufferers, their families, doctors and lawyers-- as my telephone number was published in the ME Messenger-Canada wide. It has entailed organizing petitions, letter-writing campaigns, meetings with MPPs and with the provincial minister of health (NDP), organizing participation in blood testing by Dr. Les Simpson of New Zealand and by Ms. Dilnaz Panjwani of Toronto. All of the above actions, were as beneficial to my recovery at the time, as to those I supported. I learned and with that I felt a little less helpless. However, it takes its toll. You do get a little jaded and discouraged before you finally figure out you're on your way to another health burnout. Now, after extricating myself from the front line, I volunteer for a couple of hours each week with the Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Association of Halton/Hamilton-Wentworth in Burlington. It's been a long and interesting road. Hopefully we'll cross paths in the future and share stories. Take good care.Marg
Woofing great site.............
Hi Barb, Nice Site, will mention it to others...lol
It's a great website and very informative. We know how much time and energy this took.Much love,Bonnie
Hang in there...I have avascular necrosis and sometimes I think it really *ucks but it Has made me aware of the world and life in a way that I could never have as a 'healthy' person. And if I remember that this life is but a moment and a learning experience that was carefully set up, it changes the perspective a bit.I pray always for hope, with it, life is enjoyable in spite of the pain.Your friend in Sobriety,Bob Mc.Pocatello, Idaho USA

I haven't been on here in awhile, been busy with school, college that is.
It's been a rough few months, trying to keep my 3.0 GPA in order to keep my scholarship.
I have done a few graphics in that time, basically to calm my nerves, it's my ventilation system, but nothing to serious.
And, I'm really into colorizations now also !
Just learned after doing graphics for almost two years.

Reflection two
Oretega discussion and reflection on cross linguistic influences. On page 38, Ortega takls about "markedness and L1 transfer" - discuss and explain the concepts in your own words and provide an example of a form more "marked" in L2 (French/Spanish) than L1 and vice versa.
Markedness and transfer represent the diversity and layers of Second Language Acquisition, as it demonstrates that within the SLA process, that their is an accessibility hierarchy. In our growing and diverse world, where learning multiple languages not only provides increasing accessibility and more opportunities, markedness demonstrates that individual perceptions determines how we navigate which languages we wish to learn.This is inevitably influenced by our mother tongues and the primary languages (L1) that we initially learn, and how we tend to seek our languages that may sound or have similar grammar to our primary language. An example we discussed in our groups was the similarities between Dutch and German.

– Excerpts from Ritam Shome
At the very outset let me be blunt here, the biker with whom I tagged along is an extremely versatile rider aka Rushi. At 5 ft 7 inches wearing the correct biker jacket and also biker pants with the right shoes, he looks a person straight out of a bike race ready to take on the world.
The Amby valley trip was planned in our office and we were informed that there would be a bus which would be frisking us away like potatoes and cabbages. Although, the thought of a bus did not sound really much appealing, but the prospect of visiting a prodigious place like Amby Valley seemed too good to just pass on.
Imagine the surprise when a Biker friend of mine asked if I would be happy riding as a pillion rider with him to Amby valley. I have my reservations of a bike ride especially in long distances, but seeing the glint in his eyes and the aspect of being mobile and free in the entire scenic route, I jumped at the offer.
Day 1 – The Trip
Initial negotiations were done with respect to the clothes to be taken and the amount of luggage to be carried in the bag as there was a bag for each of us. The agreed meeting point was near Jahangir Hospital from where the trip would start. I reached at 7:25 am a bit early and after a short wait saw Rushi heading there. We had a short chat and I was informed of a few basics which I was never really aware of. "Buddy, ensure that your helmet is always on, if you are uncomfortable please tape me tap twice on the right shoulder which could be any reason altogether as I will be focused ahead!!". I gulped in the basic instructions which were passed on to me trying to make sure that I got it correctly, repeating the same silently to myself. People were all stares for the guy wearing the heavy biking clothing but in their eyes was admiration which was more than what any biker can ask for.
"Vrooom", and the trip started. We sped along and I observed that he was very much aware of the road rules with due respect at all the traffic junctions. "Hmm, a religiously faithful person of the rules which were set", and somehow we started leaving Pune within a span of few moments. No speeding or road rage, but just pure biking. A sustained speed around 80 kmph to ensure the safest way to the place avoiding all the potholes and bumps. Once out of Pune, he was chatting something to me which I had a hard way of hearing but I could make out that he was pointing out the various places which we crossed and it felt great to absorb it all like a tourist. Even after staying in the city for 3 yrs the city always does always spring surprises.
After riding close to forty minutes he stopped somewhere near a dhaba. The scene in the dhaba was great with so many glares and stares and we quietly found a corner to sit and relax. Here, both of us tried the new Andriod app that Rushi suggested.
Rushi -"Dude, this app helps us communicate with each other while riding so that we can both interact from inside our helmets and the air should not have any interference as it's a hotspot created within the bike".
I : "Wow, let us get this to work via the server client technology"
Post few trials and errors we were able to communicate with each other and yeah the Poha and Tea were delicious. A young kid was collecting the plates and he flashed a smile to both of us and added, were we talking in English? I added yes, and he stated that he had very less of the language and looked very content to hearing us speak, while the other tables carried on their daily charade. We chatted about the poor kid and his aspect of learning English and being in school and Sighed!! We have so many young kids like him who are stuck in the wrong end of the road, but Rushi gave an insight here. "Look into it from this perspective, by the time he reaches our age, he will have an aggressive understanding of life and will perhaps be far ahead in life as he is seeing the hardships at a young tender age". I felt empty as we could do nothing about this, said a pleasant "Thank you" to him. The smile which was generated was a real innocent smile which made me feel good.
We started ahead and this time we reached the highways and were seamlessly chatting via the app and it was engaging. Technology really has created as well as broken boundaries. Soon the scene changed and the landscape changed from the buildings to greenery, the fresh air hit us as we gushed in more of it. Like a ghost rider, the bike whizzed past all traffic and made its way on its own. Bike and man were one and there was nothing for a pillion Rider to do, but capture a few moments of it every time we turned on a hill.
Soon, we approached "Lonavala Lake". There were a few tourists who were clicking pictures and we did the same of the bike, Rushi the biker and myself as well. The water level was low, but that did not turn up to be a dampener on our enthusiasm. We left the place and I was happy to have seen a new place outside the city.
Within minutes we were approaching Bhushi Dam to which Rushi asked if I was interested to see it. "Why not? " . He parked his bike in a pay-n-park and we walked our way ahead. It's like a small version of a mini trek, I being a good trekker was happy with the prospect of seeing it. However, it was an extremely small climb where civilization had eroded the natural beauty of the place in patches. The steps were wet to reach the dam, but both of us managed somehow as one slip could hurt us bad. On reaching the top of the dam, I clicked a few pictures and Rushi climbed down. He added that many people had drowned in the dam so swimming was a huge risk. I kept clicking pictures and also asked one person to take a few pictures of myself too. Climbing down was not much of a deal as gravity takes its effect and you feel good climbing down 🙂 . Upon reaching the parking place, Rushi asked "Where is your helmet?" "OH Shit!!" I asked him to wait and hurried my way ahead to the top again. The heat during midday was taking a toll on myself, but this time I knew the way around like my hand and cajoled a cute girl tourist at the top to bring my helmet down which was still there. Lucky I thought to myself as it was a colleagues (Sunil's) and I had no wish to hear remarks for a silly inadvertent fault.
We started ahead for Lonavala. The hill station is lovely giving you the feel of a small town and chikki shops dominating everything there. We found a fellow rider asking for directions to which Rushi obliged. We soon started our way climbing up leaving the hill station behind. The roads became more scenic and the wind was cold now cooling all the perspiration and sweat generated. At one point many bikes and vehicles were parked. He asked we should check out the place. "Lion's Point"!! It was a point through which one can have a bird's eye view of the city and have some surreal pictures taken. We enjoyed the place and pictures were taken at free will. Hawkers tried to bug us to do some activity, but were gently declined.
We started on our way ahead to Amby valley and two further points came up, but we did not stop. It was midday already and our mind was made up to reach our destination. "Amby Valley!!! Wherefort art thou?"
The climb-up the hill were steep, so steep in fact that cars and other four wheelers were having difficulty negotiating their gears. I was stunned to see it was very well negotiated by Rushi and he ensured the climb continued without any jerks or breaks present. Once on top of the hills, we came across a place where dense forest and trees engulfed the road which was straight one now. Rushi stopped and we had water to replenish us. Some extraordinary pictures were taken I believe in this place as the sun light played with the leaves and the green hue gave the best backdrop to his red jacket and bike.
A few bikers crossed and it seemed that they had a mind of their own. With the pittstop over we headed to our destination. Soon, we reached Amby Valley and security was checking our IDs and asked our details. I quietly told Rushi, he was the best rider I was pillion too.

Wednesday to Sunday!
31 Jan – 4 Feb 2018
When the pace of globalisation began to pick up in the middle of the last century, experts imagined this would spell the death knell of multinational companies with specific marketing concepts for different countries and individual national subsidiaries. Global companies would be the future, with centralised management and sales teams on the ground in the individual countries. This would be underpinned by increasing homogenisation of consumer needs. It was felt that local differences would level off. According to the convergence hypothesis, the globalisation process would have a self-amplifying effect.
This hypothesis seems to apply in the city centres, shopping malls and airports of industrialised nations, where you'd be hard pressed to tell whether you are in Shanghai, New York or London simply by looking at the brands and ranges.
There are obvious benefits to manufacturers in offering the same range worldwide. Economies of scale bring down manufacturing costs and streamline processes. The number of SKUs offered around the world can also be kept to a minimum. Brand image is managed consistently worldwide for a more precise focus.
However, although this represents an attractive model for market entry in terms of speedier retail penetration, it also poses certain challenges. In particular, the economies of scale are also used on the retail side to exert price pressure on manufacturers through order bundling. Furthermore, companies operating on a global footing are slower to respond to trends and country-specific nuances.
However, the different preferences and characteristics within each country are often crucial to the success or failure of products, so a "one product fits all" approach only works in limited cases. To stand out from the crowd on the retail side but also use national and regional features and individuality to best advantage, it is worth taking a multinational approach which allows more freedom for product range decisions within individual countries.
Quality and service advantages come to the fore with such an approach. It is also good to be in a position to respond faster with tailored ranges in individual countries and respect consumer habits that have evolved over time.
Modular strategies are tried and tested in practice. They compensate for the disadvantages of both systems – multinational and global – by facilitating basic global ranges that can be adjusted for each country based on the product category and pricing, while also providing for specific add-on ranges locally.
Attractively priced basic ranges that sell anywhere in the world form the basis. On top of this, seasonal and culturally specific add-on ranges anchor the product portfolio at a local level.
However, this also means that national distributors have to be given a certain level of decision-making authority. By offering the right products, the manufacturer can build a convincing brand image in the various markets.

How to enjoy rainy season in Japan
Now is the rainy season called "Tsuyu" in early summer in Japan.
Generally, it lasts from the beginning of June to the middle of July.
It doesn't rain every day during Tsuyu.
We experience various kinds of rain such as sprinkle, heavy rain and sometimes rainstorm.
You might think Tsuyu is not good season for trip in Japan.
Even though rainy season, we have a traditional Japanese habit.
One of the habit is Tanabata that is the Star Festival in English.
Tanabata was born from the legend of Orihime and Hikoboshi.
Tanabata started to celebrate their once-a-year-reunion, it held on 7th July.
We display bamboo grass for Tanabata.
We write each wish on a strip of paper and hang it on the bamboo grass.
The strips of paper used to write wishes are called Tanzaku.
It is said that a wish comes true by writing it on Tanzaku.
However, it is also said that a wish doesn't come true if Orihime and Hikoboshi can't meet because of the rain.
Please write your wishes and hang on the bamboo grass at hotel kanra kyoto.

Global Glass Tableware Market Projected to Touch US$ 10.5 Bn by 2026
Glass tableware includes crockery, cutlery, and other objects made from glass and are used for serving and eating meals at a table. Globally, the Glass Tableware Market growth is supported by social, economic, and demographic factors. The major contributors are – economic development in emerging countries, development of innovative glass tableware products, improvement in manufacturing and packaging technologies, and growing disposable household income.
Get Exclusive Free Sample Copy of This Report @ https://www.mrrse.com/sample/1101
The glass tableware industry pays high tariffs on gas as compared to other industries. Higher cost of soda ash, which accounts for over 30% of overall cost of production of glass products, hampers the growth of the industry. Lower profit margins are due to increase in raw material, power, and fuel prices. Development of colorful and strong glassware requires addition of metals such as lead which are costlier and not abundant in nature. This hampers the scope of variety and development of products, which in turn is likely to restrain the growth of the glass tableware market.
Transition in the lifestyle and rise in disposable income is responsible for the growth of the glass tableware market. With rapid urbanization, purchasing behavior of consumers and adoption of trendy lifestyles are leading to the high demand for glass tableware products. Beverageware and tableware products will witness a significant rise in demand due to rise in consumption of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Increase in number of pubs, bars, and other fine dining places is resulting in the use of glass tableware products. Growth of the hotel & catering industry is projected to drive demand for glass tableware in the near future. Increase in investments in the hotel & catering industry in emerging countries such as India and China has fueled the growth of the glass tableware industry.
