Making, Earning, Taking… ☀
In the political language of today, people who want to keep what they have earned are said to be "greedy," while those who wish to take their earnings from them and give it to others (who will vote for them in return) show "compassion. ~Thomas Sowell (via laliberty)
Tumblrs — what do you think of this quote?
There is no reason to believe that what anyone owns was "earned". We can and do question the idea of entitlement to wealth with redistributive policy. I am uncovinced that the dubious belief that someone earned their wealth is worth the real suffering caused by vast disparities in wealth. (via theheritagefoundation).
But these "earners" spoken of, merely are "takers" from "makers", motivated primarily not by self interest or the "profit motive", but by a quest for truth, to scratch an itch, to create what hitherto, was only imaginable. These "earners" also have invested in the political machine enough fruits of their interest to ensure the "toll booth" is properly primed, no matter the level of achievement, quantity and/or quality of goods and services provide, or the public interest^H^H^H^H^H^H^H destruction served. These "earners" are, too, reliant upon all the goodies the public dime provides — from prerequisite infrastructure needs (be it an educated workforce, stable electricity grid, communications network, functioning roads and thoroughfares and waterways and airways, etc.…) to reaping privatized treasure treats from the teat of public investment (i.e., the internet, the transistor, the modem, or just about every modern technological post-WWII advance).
Can we really have a conscience or claim to be human and justify the absurd wealth disparity that exists?
All hail homo economicus and the sanctum of moral depravity!

Looks come in and out, but is tribal in right now? While bright and colorful looks are all the rage, there is still some room for tribal looks on the runway. It's a favorite for designers to play with, which may explain why tribal jewelry and styles never seem out of place.
Tribal Jewelry Picks
That being said, tribal is currently better as an accent then an overall theme to your look. The geometric shapes and bright colors that make the tribal look what it is can be a bit overwhelming when overdone. Tribal jewelry can add an interesting flair to an everyday outfit, while your tribal attire should be matched with accent solids like gold or red.
In the Envious Gems store, we now offer Celebrity Trendy Black Tribal Design Earrings($15) that feature the triangle trimming in the detail of the outer earring while the acrylic stones are
solid black. This provides a more subtle look that is hard to achieve in the tribal style, even while somewhat resembling ancient Aztec temples.
For a little more color, we also have the Celebrity Trendy Black and Blue Enameled Tribal Necklace with matching earrings ($25). With silver tones complementing the blue and black enamel design, these are a cool and collected tribal jewelry option that work in three sparkling rhinestones.
Feather Jewelry Sale
We also carry feather jewelry that would go well with the above tribal designs. Feather jewelry is currently 60% off in the Envious Gems store! Most of our feather jewelry is currently under $10, so hurry before these great deals are gone. We always offer our prices at far below retail, but these are less than wholesale prices!

Demi Lovato says that being a celebrity can be dangerous — and she knows first-hand.
"Promoters gave me drugs and alcohol in restaurants or clubs. I thought I was having fun [but] being a celebrity can be dangerous," Lovato says in an interview with Britain's Fabulous magazine. "Nobody says 'no'. That's why so many end up overdosing and dying. It could definitely have happened to me."
Demi Lovato took to her Twitter account Friday to scold the Disney Channel for including an eating disorder joke in one of its shows.
The former star of Disney's Sonny With a Chance tweeted about the joke made on the network's comedy Shake It Up — one of the female characters says, "I could just eat you up -- well, if I ate" — and blasted Disney for making light of the very medical condition that forced her to exit her series after two seasons. Lovato, 19, underwent treatment last year for an...

If you're a sports fanatic you will have likely spent some time looking at potential ways to own your own sports teams. You don't have to be a multi-billionaire to do so, there are many teams hidden in the stock market. If you want to become part owner of the New York Knicks and New York Rangers then you could invest in Madison Square Garden (NASDAQ: MSG). Perhaps more »

Now I have another question
Is it possible, in my programs, to use variables I see in these source files?
For example I am thinking about "timer0_overflow_count". At the present time, when I try to use it, Arduino tells me that it does not exist.

- 1 tablespoon rosemary leaves
- 1 teaspoon chopped thyme
- 1 teaspoon chopped oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 2 roasted red peppers from a jar, coarsely chopped
- 1 red Thai chile, with seeds chopped
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Data Loss
mailing list archives
When nearly one-sixth of all Albertans have their medical information
stolen, and nobody says a damn thing about it for nearly four months, a lot
of people are going to be very angry.
Fred Horne, for instance.
He's the health minister. He was also a patient at a Medicentres clinic,
the group whose information technology "expert" left a laptop loaded with
620,000 patient records lying around.
Horne says he's not quite sure if his own visit fell within the 2.5-year
time frame of this massive data leak. But he certainly is upset.
And he makes the crucial point: "We need to think about who was left out of
this equation — the patient."
Patients and the public should have been told within days — by the Edmonton
police, the Medicentres group and most certainly by Alberta's Information
and Privacy Commission, which was informed right at the start but sat on
the information.
There are two big issues here — the leak itself and the long delay in any
public disclosure, which shows a stunning disregard for patient rights.
To Horne, it's "mind boggling that a laptop computer with 620,000 patient
records on it would be moving around and accessible.
"And the fact that it was also unencrypted is unfathomable to me."
And to just about everyone else. It costs about $100 to encrypt a laptop so
tightly that Edward Snowden couldn't find his invitation to Russia.
But this stolen computer, wherever it might be, is only password-protected.
That security lapse seems to fall on this clinic group, Medicentres Canada
Inc., which has nine walk-in locations in Calgary and 16 in Edmonton.
They've been around for decades and provide good medical service for the
legions who don't have family doctors.
Medicentres informed the police, and then the Information and Privacy
office, headed by Commissioner Jill Clayton.
This is where it gets so stupid the only response is maniacal laughter.
This office, which reports to the legislature, is supposed to protect
privacy when required, and release information when justified.
But in this case, the most widespread privacy breach ever to affect
Albertans was suppressed, by law.
It's not just that the public wasn't told.
The health minister wasn't told.
Alberta Health Services wasn't told.
The legislative services committee, to which Clayton reports, wasn't told
She didn't say a word to this oversight committee even though, last Nov.
29, she testified before the MLAs, trumpeting her office's many triumphs.
"We expanded our Right to Know activities," she said, with no hint of
irony. "We also hosted Data Privacy Day as well."
MLA Wayne Cao, the PC chairman of the committee, doesn't blame Clayton for
keeping quiet.
He wants the law changed, though, so that "every privacy breach is reported
publicly, immediately."
Clayton says the bill that governs this episode — the Health Information
Act — prohibits her absolutely from telling anyone anything, including the
most general information such as: "620,000 Albertans have had their health
data stolen."
It's hard to see how that would violate anyone's personal privacy. But
Clayton views the law she works with as a blanket prohibition.
The only people who can talk about such a breach are the "custodians" of
the data, Clayton says. In this case, that's Medicentres, which finally
published small notices in newspapers on Thursday.
Clayton didn't investigate the breach at the start, because Medicentres
reported the breach to her.
If she had investigated, she could have released information.
Now that the news is out, she's investigating, because Horne asked her to.
This is the point where government totally parts company with common sense.
But a couple of things are clear.
An information and privacy system that won't reveal information about a
huge violation of public privacy is pretty much useless.
But that system comes first. Victims are, oh, four months behind.

Among those attending the meetings were U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, President Vicente Fox, foreign minister Luis Ernesto Derbez, and Mexican Attorney General Rafael Acedo de la Concha.
According to a National Migration Institute spokesperson, the four Iraqis were arrested as they arrived at Mexicali's airport in northwestern Mexico.
Before the arrest was announced, Washington officials said the United States government will use 500 additional border patrol agents and increased aerial support to monitor the country's borders.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The number of people who applied for unemployment benefits fell by 20,000 to 331,000 in the week ended Feb. 1, a sign the U.S. labor market continues to gradually improve. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch expected claims to drop to 337,000 on a seasonally adjusted basis. The average of new claims over the past month, a more reliable gauge than the volatile weekly number, edged down by 250 to 334,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. Also, the government said continuing claims rose by 15,000 to a seasonally adjusted 2.96 million in the week ended Jan 25. Continuing claims reflect the number of people already receiving benefits. Initial claims from two weeks ago, meanwhile, were revised up to 351,000 from an original reading of 348,000, based on more complete data.

Jane Alexander, a suburban mom who traded in her stilletos for flats without sacrificing style when she moved from the city, will write a new column for Larchmont-Mamaroneck Patch focused on lifestyle, fashion and local businesses.
I may have told you, but I love fashion. I love the way it feels to slide on a new pair of shoes or slither into a new pair of pants and feel like I just changed my whole person for the day.
Now this love affair with fashion has a very different shall we call it "fashion challenge." They are properly strapped into the back seat of my car (I hope), they often have something sticky on their hands that will find it's way to any white surface and they just have no appreciation for a four-inch stiletto or platform, so my tastes have, shall we say...evolved.
Don't get me wrong, I can still appreciate that Angelina Jolie's leg has its own zip code, fishtail hems are the new silhouette du jour and midriff-baring tops are making a comeback - it's just that there is no place for this in my day-to-day life now (and trust me, my exposed midriff has no place in my day-to-day life now).
BUT, I still do get joy out of finding and putting things together that place me right in between having rolled out of bed and primping for hours to leave the house. That sweet spot called "put together." You can feel great, walk a little taller, but still run down your child who will shoot like a bat out of hell toward the playground when he sees the slide is free.
I put together a few of my fav, easy, everyday "I am a hip mama" styles from Larchmont store Love by Bella Fiora to whet your mid-winter suburban appetite. And, to entice you further, mention Playgrounds, Pinot and Kale and they will give you an extra 20 percent off all full price merchandise, now until Feb. 28 - enjoy!

Snyder's Sandwich: Seniors Get Shortchanged
By: MARK SNYDER, March 3, 2014
Currently, 27 percent of the population of the Town of Sandwich is 60 years of age or older. It is projected, based on numbers from the census, that 45 percent of our population will be age 60 or older by the year 2023.
In 2014, out of a budget of $65,189,254, the Sandwich Council on Aging gets $191,191. So, for 27 percent of the population, less than one-third of 1 percent is set aside to serve just the senior citizens of Sandwich.
That, my readers, is a disgrace.
The council on aging in Fiscal Year 2013 responded to 25,921 telephone calls. In FY12, it was 22,382 calls. The thin staff could not possibly handle those kinds of numbers. Add to that 16,321 seniors who actually participated in classes, seminars, socials, day trips, luncheons, transportation, shopping trips, legal and medical appointments, tax preparation, health screenings, support groups, and wellness programs in 2013. This requires a ton of help. That help was provided by 93 volunteers, who worked 7,586 hours, valued at $159,306, for the Town of Sandwich in 2013.
Sandwich COA director Janet Timmons, who was appointed to her position in 1992, is proud of what she is able to squeeze from her budget. The COA runs out of the facility at 270 Quaker Meetinghouse Road in East Sandwich.
Ms. Timmons told Snyder's Sandwich that she was finally able to get a part-time driver for one of her two vans. Volunteers were trained to drive the vans, and are able to work up to $750 off their property taxes.
"Volunteers can drive the handicapped bus. They get the same training and certification as our paid driver. It's provided by Cape Cod Regional Transit," Ms. Timmons said.
Ms. Timmons said the COA has become a "human services" entity.
"We have a good working relationship with other social agencies. Our outreach program can provide mortgage assistance, and we try to prevent homelessness. We coordinate the Global Oil donations for the Town of Sandwich residents, and can assist those who need help filling their oil tanks. Sometimes, we can help find financial assistance for families, even those under 60."
Friends of the Sandwich Council on Aging is a nonprofit which raises funds to supplement the COA budget. In the past three years, they have raised about $15,000. More is needed. So, anyone with expertise in fundraising or an interest in helping the COA is invited to join the group. In addition, volunteers are always needed. The next meeting of the Friends of the COA is Friday, March 7, at 10:30 AM at the Human Services Building at 270 Quaker Meetinghouse Road.
If you'd like to make a contribution to the building fund (to try to help develop adequate space and/or furnishings for seniors—and the fast-growing number of baby boomers becoming seniors) send a tax-deductable contribution to: Friends of Sandwich Council on Aging Building Fund, Box 107, Sandwich, MA 02563.
They already have a conceptual rendering of the building and the space design from the feasibility study done in 2006. At that time, they withdrew plans to seek an override, due to the financial conditions. Now they need our support.
Another possibility was suggested by selectmen chairman Jim Pierce. He said at a recent board of selectmen meeting that "attention needs to be paid to seniors, their growing numbers, and expanding needs. A senior center at the Wing School could serve the town well." Ms. Timmons said that was "not out of the ballpark. The Wing School could work if the renovation plans were put together by someone familiar with senior design. There would need to be enough dedicated space. But, I'm not opposed to repurposing the infrastructure."

Meanwhile there is a ton going on at the COA. There are fitness and wellness programs that include cardio fitness, Zumba Gold, walking groups, yoga, tai chi, qi gong, massage, line dance, fusion fitness, reiki, and Wii bowling and golfing. March programs include oral health screenings by Cape Cod Community College; current events discussion groups, mystery book club meetings, solo dining (Tuesday, March 11, at 1 PM at Canterbury Café on Cotuit Road. A great way to meet new people! Call 508-888-4737 to reserve your spot.); van trip to USS Constitution; St. Patrick's Day luncheon; and even a free antique appraisal from Henry Callan on Wednesday, April 2.
There are educational opportunities like learning about life after stroke, Alzheimer's, tax preparation, SSDI and SSI help; and so much more. You can get a free monthly newsletter that lists everything. It can be mailed to you, or sent via e-mail. Call Jan at 508-888-4737 and ask for yours.
While seniors get less than one-third of one percent of the budget, school-age children are currently receiving 70 percent of the revenue that comes into the Town of Sandwich in their budget. And, just a reminder—all of us will become seniors at one point. Some sooner than others.

There are a number of osteoporosis risk factors, some of which are fixed—such as gender and age—while other risk factors can be modified—such as low calcium intake and alcohol consumption.
Being a woman, especially one who is post-menopausal, is a risk factor for osteoporosis. Osteoporosis-related fractures are nearly twice as common in women as they are in men. Women tend to have a lower bone density than men and lose bone mass more quickly as they get older.
Everyone experiences a natural decrease in bone density as they age, which usually begins between 30 and 35 years of age. In people with osteoporosis, this bone loss is accompanied by an accelerated loss of maximum calcium absorption by the gut and kidney. So, osteoporosis is more common among older people. Studies show that less than one percent of women between ages 20 and 29 have osteoporosis. By age 50, 20 percent of women have osteoporosis and another 38 percent have osteopenia (low bone mineral density). By age 80, only 13 percent of women have normal bone density.
People who are Caucasian or of Asian or Native-American descent are at a greater risk of having the condition. Studies have shown that women of Asian descent have the lowest bone-mineral density than women of other ethnicities. African American women are much less likely to develop osteoporosis than other racial groups.
Family History
Genetics play a role in determining how likely you are to have osteoporosis. If any of your first degree relatives (parents or siblings) has been diagnosed with osteoporosis, then you have a greater risk of developing it.
Body Type
Having a thin or petite frame increases your risk of having osteoporosis. Small, thin bones tend to have less bone mass to begin with, which means there is less bone "banked away" when old bone is destroyed faster than it is being formed.
Low Calcium Intake
Calcium is the building block of bone; it's needed to keep bones dense and strong. A low calcium intake is linked with a greater risk of osteoporosis. Adults under the age of 50 should aim to get in 1000 milligrams of calcium per day from calcium-rich foods or supplements along with 200 to 800 IUs of vitamin D daily. Adults ages 50 and older should get 1200 milligrams of calcium per day along with 800 to 1,000 IUs of vitamin D daily.
Smoking and Heavy Drinking
Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption are two behaviors that increase your risk of developing osteoporosis. Smoking is harmful to bone cells and may make it harder for your body to absorb calcium. Drinking may reduce your body's calcium supply.
Health Conditions
There are a range of health conditions and disorders that can cause bone loss, thereby increasing your risk of osteoporosis. These include:
- rheumatoid arthritis
- diabetes
- hyperthyroidism
- celiac disease
- irritable bowel syndrome
- Crohn's disease
- chronic kidney disease
- eating disorders (such as anorexia and bulimia)
Certain medications can speed up bone loss, leading to osteoporosis. Corticosteroids like prednisone are notorious for contributing to osteoporosis. Other common medicines that may contribute to the development of osteoporosis include:
- certain anti-seizure medications
- proton pump inhibitors
- selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (antidepressants)
Caffeine appears to diminish calcium absorption by a small amount. Drinking more than three cups of coffee per day may be harmful to bone health, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation.

Tucson Unified School District has "banned" Mexican-American Studies books from classrooms – well, they may have, depending on your definition of ban.
School textbooks are being taken out of the MAS classrooms, and teachers are being told by administrators that they need to take precautions when teaching from other books, as well as what curriculum they use.
The school district says there are no books being banned; these books are still available in libraries. Still, teachers are being told to stay away from books and lessons that have to do with race, ethnicity and oppression. So why are they banning these books from the curriculum, but still making them available for students to read in the library? It's like telling someone they can't have ice cream, while putting a big bowl of it in front of them.
What I don't get is how throughout our middle school and high school careers, every English teacher tells us that reading is important and it is something we should all do. We were given a certain amount of books throughout the school year to read, like Animal Farm by George Orwell and The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. So what has changed?
That list of banned books includes Occupied America: A History of Chicanos, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Rethinking Columbus, Critical Race Theory, The Tempest and Chicano!: the History of the Mexican American Civil Rights Movement.
What baffles me the most about this ban is the fact that a school district is taking away an ethnic studies program and its books just because it focuses on Mexican-American life and culture. Haven't we all been taught ever since we started school to accept people and not judge one another? So why is a school district banning books because this focuses on a certain culture and race?
Being a student myself who enjoys reading, and proudly admits that some of my favorite books are the ones I've read in my English classes during high school, I think it's unfair for the students who attend Tucson Unified School District to be restricted in terms of what books they can and cannot read in class.
It makes me think, if they will ban books from teachers' curriculum, what will they do next?

Time to Make a Water Run
This photo was taken on the road from Santa Cruz to San Nicolas, probably eight km from the Pan American Highway. While there have been some water projects along the road, this area still doesn't have running water. The girls are getting ready to go down the hill a bit to fill up the containers.
The rumors are that a water project for this area is on the agenda for this year. This area is under the jurisdiction of the Alcaldia of San Nicolas (the same as CoolTop).
Jack and Jill?
So in this case it would be Jack and Jill went down the hill to fetch a pail of water . . .

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My son has been in various private schools throughout the nation, but feels that the Mesa Verde MAP program was his best educational experience. He was recently nominated to Who's Who Among American High School Students,as a freshman, and chose Mrs. Lynn Whitesell at MV as his most influential teacher. Love that school!!
Gotta love this school, moved across country and looked up on internet for best schools in oro vally. And coming from a Catholic school my daughter love it there. Thank God for schools like this.
This school feels like a big family. I like everything, except the constant competition (as part of the fund raising aspect of the school.) Would like to see students and parents involved in fund raising without the 'winner takes all' attitude sometime promoted. There is enough of that in the later grades--let's teach our kids how to work together and support each other and their school, instead of turning everything into a competitive situation. Cooperation is more fun, anyway!
We are somewhat new to Mesa Verde after having moved here in Sept 2002 from Michigan. I have a very high opinion of MV so far and can see the quality curriculum being delivered to my 3rd and 4th grade daughters. Thanks and keep up the good work.

UGA gets first LEED gold for historic building - Around the Arch
December 2013 Issue
The College of Environment & Design's Jackson Street Building received LEED Gold Certification, the first historic building on campus to earn the designation. Now more than 50 years old, the building originally housed the School of Art and is one of only two modernist buildings at UGA (the other is the College of Pharmacy). When the building was renovated in 2012 for the College of Environment & Design, solar panels were installed on the southern-facing skylight shields, windows were replaced with energy-efficient glass, energy-efficient heating and cooling systems were installed and a 28,000-gallon cistern was added to collect rainwater and water that condenses in the cooling system. That water is cleaned well enough to use for toilet flushing and to return to the cooling system's tower, reducing wastewater by 90 percent. LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is an independent, third-party verification that indicates a building project meets standards for sustainability set by the nonprofit U.S. Green Building Council. …

|Hydroxychloroquine in Cardiovascular Disease in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Proof of Concept Study
|Brief Summary
Presence of multiple traditional and nontraditional risk factors of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD) including inflammation in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) contribute to high CVD morbidity and mortality in this patient population. Additionally, the traditional approaches towards the therapy of CVD have little impact on CV mortality in these patients. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) used as anti-inflammatory in rheumatological disorders, has multiple beneficial properties relevant to the process of vascular disease. The effects of HCQ on atherosclerosis (AS) and vascular disease in CKD is not known yet. Thus, the study hypothesis is that HCQ treatment in individuals with CKD will provide clinically significant benefit in the management of CVD and will provide biological and functional atherosclerotic benefits.
|Detailed Description
This pilot study has been designed to look at the impact of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in the clinical model of accelerated atherosclerosis (AS) in the CKD population. This intervention is designed to have an impact on the initiation and progression of AS by reducing systemic inflammation, improving or restoring vascular endothelial function, and by improving the milieu of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance.
The current study is a proof of concept study for the expansion of the use of HCQ for a new indication for the treatment of AS and CVD in patients with CKD.University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) has filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) for a new indication on 4/28/11. The FDA responded that this study is exempt from an IND.
This "Proof-of-Concept" randomized double blinded placebo controlled study will evaluate the nature and extent of HCQ effects, and if found significantly beneficial, it will be used to guide the development of a large, multicenter, randomized control trial of HCQ to examine the hard clinical end points of CVD and mortality in patients with advanced CKD. The investigators propose to enroll 62 subjects to achieve the effects of HCQ in 52 individuals (39 HCQ group and 13 placebo group).

Intel Corporation continues push of WiMAX in Egypt through partnership with National Telecommunications Institute
In a bid to continue driving greater access to technology and the online world through WiMAX technology, Intel has teamed up with the National Telecommunications Institute (NTI) in Egypt to establish a wireless training lab at the NTI's facility in Smart Village and implement a training and certification program on WiMAX technology in Egypt. The Memorandum of Understanding signing ceremony took place last month during the first official visit of Intel CEO Paul Otellini to Egypt.
"The growth of WiMAX in Egypt is a positive sign that a greater number of people are becoming more open to the benefits that technology brings," says Khaled Elamrawi, Intel General Manager Egypt, Levant and North Africa. "This leads to a greater understanding of technology which will in turn benefit their communities."
Intel will be providing the NTI with the equipment, software, technical support, information and setup needed to ensure that the lab runs smoothly, which comes as part of Intel's desire to boost the local expertise in computing and communication technologies to serve the needs of the regional markets.
As an early member of the WiMAX Forum, Intel has been pushing for greater use of WiMAX technology to reach large communities. A substantial need for Internet access in areas where cable connectivity is not present exists, with WiMAX an ideal way of bypassing this dilemma.

You've been there: feeling sluggish, suffering from bad skin, feeling heartburn or indigestion, gaining weight for no apparent reason . . . there are dozens of symptoms we chalk up to 'old age' or a 'busy lifestyle'. But what if the truth was much simpler than that? What if you could reverse these symptoms and start feeling younger, more energetic and more like your old self again?
It turns out that many of us – in fact, nearly all of us – suffer from an unbalanced digestive system. Now, if your mind immediately leapt to yogurt commercials with dancing midriffs, don't worry – this isn't about shaking your tummy up. This is about getting your whole core in balance and letting your digestive tract start to work at its peak, opening up your system to be more receptive to nutrients from food and drink, even supplements.
I know - a lot of you are probably thinking that your daily dose of fiber supplement or your cup of enhanced yogurt is the ticket to maintaining digestive health and regularity. But regularity isn't an indication of health, and it's not always possible to take either one with today's busy lifestyle.
Turns out the key to excellent digestive health isn't the probiotic, as we have long thought, but rather something called a prebiotic. Prebiotics are naturally occurring, and they have been proven to strengthen your immune system, help your body absorb vitamins and minerals, improve your heart health and even reduce the incidence of allergies.
Probiotics, on the other hand, are not naturally occurring. They only appear if you ferment food, such as in yogurt or kimchee. And even then, they can be harsh and ineffective. What's worse, the European Food Safety Authority has rejected over 180 health claims about probiotics because the evidence just isn't there to back them up. They work by indiscriminately adding bacteria to your system, whether it is needed or not, in uncontrolled dosages.
By contrast, gentle, natural prebiotics have been shown to reduce the growth of bad bacteria while promoting good bacteria. You feel better immediately, because your body's rampant reproduction of bad bacteria is stopped, and you stop doing damage to yourself.
Even drug-resistant bacteria like S. aureus (staph infection) and E. coli are stopped in their tracks.
Turns out the phenolics that naturally occur in the skin of the humble kiwifruit contain part of the answer. These small molecules are powerful antioxidants, and they stop the overgrowth of bad bacteria in your system. When your body isn't taxed by trying to fight off these super-bugs, it is able to digest proteins and keep them moving through your system, rather than rotting in your digestive tract.
And the enzymes found in the pulp of that same kiwi improve the way your body digests proteins. The natural prebiotics occurring in the kiwi fruit and skin create an environment that lets good bacteria flourish, and the soluble fiber in the skin and pulp help to improve bowel function. What's more, you have a natural defense against degenerative diseases.
When everything is working in balance, your body is a much more efficient machine.
You're less susceptible to colds, flu, and even superbugs like the ones I mentioned above.
Your system is more prepared to receive all the available nutrients in food and in supplements.
Your body moves waste through efficiently, reducing odor, and preventing toxins from leaking into your bloodstream.
You feel more energetic.
Your skin is clearer.
You lose that bloated feeling.
With all these things going for it, should you be eating kiwi every day? Well, turns out it's not quite as simple as slicing one up with your breakfast.
First of all, the fiber required to get the benefits would require that you eat two to four kiwi a day. Including the skin. Every day.
Secondly, kiwi is often picked before it is fully ripe, meaning the enzymes haven't had a chance to completely develop. As the fruit begins to go bad, the enzymes degrade even further.
And let's face it, even the most dedicated health enthusiast is going to get tired of eating two to four kiwi with skins a day!
The solution I've found is in a natural supplement called Kiwi-Klenz.
Kiwi-Klenz is different from other prebiotics made from kiwi, because it uses a proprietary processing system called AquaPure®. This system means the soluable fiber, enzymes and phenolic compounds remain in the end product, concentrating the skin, seeds, and fruit into a powerful supplement that can show results in as little as a few days.
What's more, this supplement is from Xtend-life, a New Zealand based natural health company that takes the source of its ingredients seriously. There are no added solvents, chemicals, heavy metals or pesticides used to in the manufacturing process, unlike with many of their competitors. The kiwi is sourced from sustainable farms and production of Kiwi-Klenz has no negative impact on the environment.
Their supplement is so pure it doesn't even use gelatin to encapsulate: these supplements are vegetarian. It is the only 100% pure natural digestive supplement that truly works to create and sustain total balance in your digestive tract.
Turns out that Kiwi-Klenz is so concentrated, it has even more soluble fiber than even straight pysillium husks. It even has triple the amount of bioactives compared to dried kiwi powder!
Just one capsule a day can show benefits. For the first couple of days, you may feel a little bit unsettled, but this soon passes as your system rebalances its bacteria. In a few short days you are more energized, more youthful, and you have a better immune system.
Don't take my word for it – Xtend-life has a 6 month guarantee on its product! What other company does that? Check them out, get answers to your questions about Kiwi-Klenz, and start enjoying a healthier body with just one simple supplement a day.

Group: Effectiveness of Sunscreens Hazy
Advocacy Group Says Many Popular Sunscreens Offer Inadequate Sun Protection, Calls on FDA to Implement Label Changes
Sunscreens Under Scrutiny continued...
"All Coppertone products are photostable, provide UVA/UVB protection, and are routinely evaluated for safety and efficacy by independent dermatologists and scientists," Julie Lux of Schering-Plough says.
"Coppertone is committed to the science and safety of sun care and is concerned that reports like this one released by the Environmental Working Group will inappropriately discourage consumers from protecting themselves from the sun."
A spokeswoman for Neutrogena parent company Johnson & Johnson also defended its sunscreens.
"All Neutrogena products undergo extensive testing to ensure safety and efficacy," Iris Grossman says in a statement.
Banana Boat issued a statement saying that all Banana Boat products "use only ingredients that are safe and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other worldwide regulatory bodies," that their products won't break down in the sun, and that the Skin Cancer Foundation officially recommends Banana Boat as an effective UV sunscreen.
The EWG analysis suggested that nearly half of the products contained ingredients known to become inactive in strong sunlight.
"It may seem counterintuitive, but of the 17 'active ingredients' that FDA has approved for use as sunscreens in the U.S., at least four of them break down significantly when they are exposed to sunlight," the EWG report notes. "They lose their ability to absorb the sun's harmful rays and stop working effectively in as little as 30 minutes, ranging up to several hours."
Products containing the sun-stable and UVA filtering ingredients zinc oxide and titanium dioxide were more likely to score highly in the group's analysis.
The report also criticized what EWG analysts called "over-the-top" marketing claims that they contend would not be allowed under the proposed FDA guidelines.
"There are more than 1 million skin cancers diagnosed in the United States every year," Houlihan says. "Sunscreen is a very important part of sun protection, and it is important that consumers know what they are getting."
Industry Responds
Two spokesmen for the sunscreen industry called the EWG claims unfounded and erroneous.
Personal Care Products Council (PCPC) general council Farah Ahmed calls the contention that 7% of high SPF sunscreens do not protect against UVA rays "highly inaccurate."
"It is very clear to me that they have a very low level of understanding of the way sunscreens work and the way they are regulated by the FDA and tested by the industry," Ahmed tells WebMD.
Personal Care Products Council chief scientist John Bailey, PhD, says sunscreens are both safe and effective and highly regulated by the FDA.
Bailey noted that the agency already has the authority to bring action against any manufacturer that makes unsubstantiated claims about a sunscreen.
"The contention that (sunscreens) are too loosely or ineffectively regulated is just not true," he tells WebMD.
