What do you look for in your daily intake of fruits and vegetables? Of the many superfruits out there, papaya is often overlooked and passed over due to the inconvenience of finding it at local stores or a lack of knowledge surrounding the fruit.
You may be surprised to learn that papaya is actually one of the best fruits you can put into your body. With its protein-digesting enzyme papain, it's the perfect choice for improved gut health. It also provides that boost in antioxidants - specifically vitamins A, C, E and beta carotene - that you may be looking for in your fruit intake.
Maybe you already knew all this about papaya fruit, but most people don't know about the health punch that papaya leaves as well as the seeds pack in. If you've eaten papaya in the past, you would probably scoop out the seeds and eat the fruit by itself, but by doing this you are missing out on the many health benefits they provide. The following are reasons why you should always eat your papaya seeds.
Papaya seeds have been used for centuries in Chinese medicine for improving vital functioning of the liver. Because of the cleansing benefits of papaya seeds, they can sometimes be used in people with excessive alcohol consumption.
Papaya as a whole aids in digestive health due to the powerful enzyme papain that it contains, and that goes for the seeds as well. Papaya seeds have a high amount of this enzyme, which supports a healthy digestive tract. If you're dealing with indigestion or other well known digestive issues, a daily intake of papaya seeds can do wonders for keeping a healthy gut.
As well as aiding in every day digestion issues, papaya seeds can also help with cleansing your gut from parasites, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center.
Similar to how papain helps digestion through breaking down undigested protein waste, it can also break down parasites and their eggs because it views them as excessive proteins and toxins. The enzyme carpaine is also present in papaya seeds, which is an anthelmintic alkaloid and known to help dispose of parasitic worms. With this said, you should still always consult a physician when fighting intestinal parasites.
There are plenty of health benefits that I could go into about papaya, but the seeds are one part of the fruit that doesn't get the attention it deserves. Many people just focus on the fruit, but there are many ways to use the leaf and seeds of the papaya for health, especially if you use them as supplements as part of a daily health regiment.
Lastly, if you're wondering about the best way to include papaya seeds in your diet, they have an earthy taste to them so they are best used in eggs, salads, yogurts, or blended with smoothies. They can also be used as a black pepper substitute and freshly ground as such. They can be air dried for 2-3 days and then blended or you can simply pop a few in your mouth if you don't mind the earthy taste.
So, next time you eat a papaya, save a scoop of those seeds for later. Your body will thank you.
Note: Papain, an enzyme in papaya, is safe in amounts commonly found in foods, and is likely safe in medicinal amounts, but should not be taken in excessive doses. Papain is not safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women, as it may cause birth defects or miscarriage. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid consuming unripe papaya, as well as papaya seeds. Stop taking papain two weeks before scheduled surgery.
Focus is the ability to concentrate your attention or energy on something. And what prevents that? Distractions, which tend to get in the way of our precious time on earth!
A few years ago, while gardening, being distracted meant planting too many seeds, which led to more weeding, watering, harvesting, cooking and canning. Ugh…what should have been enjoyment was now a drag. And it's a vicious cycle: The extra time needed for all of the above meant I was unable to accomplish everything I wanted to do, which led to frustration and wearing myself out. Does that sound familiar, at all?

I once read a book about gaining focus, which surprisingly, I was able to focus on and finish! One part of the book that has stayed with me since was how to recognize, regroup and get back on track when we're "out of focus." For me, that means writing down what I want to accomplish, eating healthy, exercising and using a focus essential oil blend. The easiest of all is using the essential oils; I simply breathe them in to help me feel focused.
These essential oils are from plants that have been are scientifically proven to help with focus and concentration:
• Spearmint (menthe spicata) can reduce mental strain, fatigue and stress.
• Peppermint (menthe piperita) helps with concentration, focus and metal fatigue.
• Lemon (citrus limon) can clear the mind and aid in decision making.
• Blood Orange (citrus sinensis) creates a stimulating and up-lifting environment.
Well, I'm off to the garden after smelling my favorite essential oil blend, Nectar Essences Organic Focus Brain-Boost. I'll be planting the right amount of seeds, this time!

Winter is the season for citrus. Oranges, grapefruit, limes, and, of course, lemons are at the peak of ripeness this time of year. And that's very fortunate during cold and flu season when we could benefit from extra doses of vitamin C in our diets.
When there's an abundance of lemons and they're affordable, it's a great time to make up big batches of homemade concentrate to store in the freezer. It couldn't be easier, and it's a great way to have the means to mix up healthy beverages on demand. Since you'll be mixing up your concentrate in variable quantities depending on how many lemons you decide to get, the recipe ratios for the concentrate are listed in "parts." If you're not familiar with this style of measurement, it's easy to get the hang of. "Equal parts" of ingredients simply means you use the same quantity for each thing. For example "equal parts sugar and water" could mean one cup of sugar and one cup of water, or it could mean one tablespoon of sugar and one tablespoon of water — it just depends on the unit of measure you choose. It's a really flexible way to measure, and one that I prefer when working with basic recipes because it's such an easy way to scale up or down.
• One part freshly squeezed lemon juice (make sure you dry the zest and/or candy the peels to use in other recipes — minimize waste and maximize your dollar!)
• One part water
• One and half parts sugar
1. First, make simple syrup by heating the sugar and water together. Watch it carefully — you don't want to make caramel, just heat it through until the sugar is just dissolved. Let the syrup cool to room temperature, then add the lemon juice.
2. Once the concentrate is mixed, portion it for the freezer. I like to freeze it in jumbo muffin tins (half cup per portion) that way I can make as little or as much lemonade at a time as I like.
3. To use the concentrate, you'll mix one part of concentrate with three parts water, unless you like your lemonade super strong, in which case you'll want to use one part concentrate to two parts water — it's entirely up to you.
While ordinary lemonade is great, if you're fighting off a cold or flu, there are two variations you'll want to try — herbal lemonade and warm lemonade toddy. Both are great beverages to add a little variety to the hot tea with honey illness routine.
For the herbal lemonade, use one part of the water you'll use to mix up the concentrate and make a hot "tea" with it first — I like to use equal parts lavender, lemon balm and elder flowers. Lavender is relaxing and soothing, while lemon balm and elder are both renowned for their cold-fighting abilities. They all have a flavor that is nicely complementary to one another and lemons.
Once the herbs have steeped for about 10 minutes, strain the liquid and let it cool. Mix with the remaining parts of water (either one or two, depending upon the strength of lemonade you're going for) and the lemonade concentrate. Serve chilled or at room temperature, depending on personal preference.
For the warm lemonade toddy, you can mix either plain lemonade or herbal lemonade, and simply add a shot of brandy to it. Served warm for a tasty, soothing drink!
So, when life gives you actual lemons — make lemonade concentrate with it. You'll be glad you did.

I think it's safe to say that meditation is trending. Mindfulness and meditation have become the cure-all for many diseases, and are the current shining stars in the wellness world. It seems as though every few weeks a new study or finding comes out about the benefits of practicing present-moment awareness. Stress relief, weight loss, heart health, increased happiness, heightened productivity and even rebuilding the brain's gray matter in just 8 weeks are some of what seem to be the infinite perks of meditation.
Okay, we get it – everyone should meditate.
But, it's not all that cut and dried. Meditation seems like second nature for some, but for many people, it can feel hard and unachievable. If you feel an aversion to meditation, you're not alone. Many cringe at the thought of sitting in one spot and trying to "zen out." Additionally, there are so many false beliefs about meditation that can easily create resistance.
For example, a common misconception is that meditation is difficult and you have to know how to stop "thinking thoughts." That alone can be a scary concept!
The truth is, it's actually quite easy to get started with a meditation practice. If you'd like to begin, but don't know where to start, here are some tips to kickstart your path toward your new meditation routine.
Yup, that's it! Anytime, anywhere. If you're feeling stressed or just need a quick pick-me-up, stop and take a giant deep breath, fill your belly up with air, expand your rib cage and slowly release through the nose on the exhale. The slower your in-breath and out-breath, the better. Becoming conscious of your breathing opens up the door to mindfulness. We often forget to breathe fully and consciously because it can be an involuntary function. But the cool thing is that it's also something that can become voluntary and controlled. Many gurus and sages teach that when you master breathing (through the practice of various pranayama techniques) you can balance your chakras and master your life. Now, I can't promise that you will start levitating once you become a pranayama wizard, but what I can say is that the breath is the fastest way to draw your attention inward, into your body and the present moment. If there's one easy way to start a mindfulness practice it's to pay attention to your breath at any given moment.
Just like any other task or activity that you deem important, put meditation on the schedule. Play with meditation times and find what works best for you. Meditation is easiest for me immediately when I wake in the morning. I roll onto my back and place my awareness on my breath, repeat a silent mantra and set an intention for the day. Another prime time to meditate, in my experience, is before bed. Mornings and evenings are when my kids are asleep and there is quiet and fewer disturbances. Find what works for you and stick it on the calendar.
One of the easiest mantras to use is the sanskrit word OM. OM is the "sound of the universe", so it's an easy one to connect to for most adults and children alike. Repeat the word silently in your mind and "hear" the mantra as if someone is saying it to you. Mantras are an "instrument of the mind" and a way to train yourself to concentrate on one thing. When your mind begins to wander to a thought, sound in the environment or otherwise, simply guide your awareness back to the mantra. It's just that simple. The more you practice using mantras, the easier it will become to not only focus on the mantra, but also increase concentration in your daily life, making zeroing in on one task or goal much easier.
If you're stumped about where to start, I highly recommend Grokker.com, an online video wellness site that has tons of yoga and meditation classes. They have various meditation series' led by experts that easily guide you through mindfulness practices. Everything from "meditation for surrender", "getting focused" and even an energy meditation series is offered. I've noticed that my kids will also join in with these, so I'm able to put them on during the day.
I know what you're thinking, "A meditation device!?" Yes, there are some great tools that can gently help you become more aware of your wandering mind and teach you to be in more control of your thoughts. MUSE, for example, is a brain-sensing headband that connects to your smart device to give you real-time feedback about your brain activity. Throughout your meditation, you will hear a soft breeze in the background and if your mind begins to have increased activity or thoughts, you will start to hear more turbulent wind. In this way, it trains your brain to calm your mind and bring it back to focus. There's also the Meaning to Pause bracelet, which sends a gentle vibration to its wearer every 60-90 minutes to remind you to pause, breathe, and check in with your physical, mental and emotional state. This bracelet, though it may not be able to teach you to meditate, will encourage coming back to center and the present moment throughout the day, which is a great start.
Most of us today are tired of bumps, fatty pockets and increasing health issues, and have tried everything in our power to stay fit and healthy. There are hundreds and thousands of remedies available on the market that promise to put you back in shape and redress health issues. While some doctors suggest medicines and lotions, others claim proper diet, yoga and regular exercise to be very beneficial. But with today's extremely hectic schedules and lifestyles, we're hardly left with any time to spare for workouts at the gym or following a strict diet.
Switch to green tea. It's not just a green liquid, it is a medicinal beverage with a multitude of uses —from preventing cancer to lowering blood pressure and much more. The reason that green tea has more health benefits than other natural products is apparent because of the way it's processed. Green tea, when processed, retains the maximum amount of antioxidants and polyphenols, like flavonoids and catechins, which give it its plentiful benefits. So, let us discuss some of the health issues drinking green tea, every day, can help you address.
Green tea increases metabolic rate. The polyphenol present in the beverage intensifies the fat oxidation level and the rate at which a human body converts food into calories. Several studies, over the years, have shown that regular consumption of green tea can significantly decrease body fat, especially in the abdominal area.
Type II Diabetes is a disease which has reached epidemic proportions and has affected nearly 300 million people all over the world. Green tea helps regulate the level of glucose, further slowing the rise of blood sugar level after meals. A cup of this organic beverage not only prevents high insulin spikes and the resulting fat storage, but also lowers the risk of developing Type II Diabetes.
Scientists believe that green tea relaxes the lining of blood vessels in order to withstand any changes occurring in blood pressure. It also offers a protection against the formation of clots which are typically the primary cause of heart attacks in most people.
Eating oily food with high-fat content on a regular basis puts our health at a higher risk of developing high cholesterol and cardiac diseases. Replacing unhealthy food and drinks with green tea can help keep the cholesterol level down. A powerful antioxidant in green tea, EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), discourages cholesterol absorption in the large intestine and further boosts the immune system.
Drinking a cup of tea is usually considered to be bad for our teeth. The hot beverage contains tannic acid which gives it its dark color and can stain tooth enamel. However, the consumption of green tea is actually considered to be beneficial when it comes to our oral health, particularly in avoiding periodontal disease.
Compounds present in green tea, such as caffeine and amino acid L-theanine, have the ability to improve the brain's function and make you smarter. Caffeine, the active ingredient in green tea, is a known stimulant. The quantity present in this green beverage is less than that found in coffee, yet enough to produce a response which leads to improvement in various aspects of brain's function including vigilance, mood, reaction time and memory.
Carrots and spinach have long been considered foods that promote good eyesight, but scientists claim that antioxidants found in green tea can penetrate into the eye tissues and produce antioxidant activities. Catechins, a key antioxidant in green tea, have the prowess of being absorbed into the tissues of the eyes easily.
Theanine is a naturally occurring amino acid in tea leaves. It is this compound that provides a relaxing effect and serves as a great benefit to its consumers. Theanine also affects levels of serotonin and dopamine, which in turn affects mood.
In addition to the aforementioned benefits, the antioxidants present in green tea and their anti-inflammatory activities help fight against wrinkles, other signs of aging, and redness developed after UV exposure in an effective and efficient manner.
Cancer is a class of disease characterized by uncontrolled growth of mutated cells. Green tea is an excellent source of powerful antioxidants which have the ability to lower the risk of several types of cancers, especially esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, oral cancer and many cardiovascular diseases. Its strongest antioxidant, EGCG, causes the formation of reactive oxygen species in cancer cells and helps kill them through the annihilation of cell's mitochondria. It's in this weakened state that forces the mitochondria to surrender to EGCG and die. Green tea is also suspected to become a possible alternative to chemotherapy.
The green miracle beverage from China has already made its way into the mugs of individuals all over the world for its research-proven and vouched-for health benefits. From weight loss to preventing heart disease, green tea has evolved into a medicinal drink that caters to a host of illnesses. So, add a cup of green tea to your daily plan and welcome a healthy life.

The shelves of any store are full of choices. Overwhelmingly full.
For a consumer, a parent, or even a physician, making an informed decision about the best solutions can be downright exasperating. Soothing throats, easing tummy woes, or just maintaining health and wellness is a challenge when so many products offer similar outcomes. When choosing solutions to keep your family healthy, reading the label is of particular importance to ensure that what you put in your body is as natural as possible, while still effective.
Taking a step back and considering the efficacy of the ingredients available to us in nature is an important first step in choosing a wellness plan for yourself and your family. Homegrown remedies will always have their place, but you and your family deserve solutions that are grounded in solid, scientific evidence.
Quality, wholesome products can be difficult to find. Even more trying is selecting a product made with naturally derived ingredients that are proven to be efficacious. At the end of the day, consumers want a healthy solution, but they also need a product that works. Fortunately, by reading labels carefully and conducting some basic research on the clinical impact of handpicked ingredients, you can have both.
Always speak with your physician.
It should go without saying that your physician should always be your first stop for guidance about maintaining wellness. Many physicians' offices and pharmacies have staff members available during business hours, so that you can consult a professional regarding the best choice for your routine.
Choose natural ingredients, when possible.
Many times a natural ingredient can support wellness or solve a problem for people of all ages, including for children. Simple, wholesome solutions can be effective, without the harmful, negative side effects.
Determine clinical effectiveness.
When using natural ingredients, be sure to confirm their clinical effectiveness. Everyone has heard of plant-based solutions to promote well-being, but be sure that the products you choose are supported by clinical evidence.
All of this information may leave you wondering exactly which ingredients are effective for everything from soothing throats to digestive wellness and general health. Often nature's most powerful remedies come from the most unlikely places.
Bees produce certain dark honey blends that are liquid gold for people experiencing throat irritation by providing a dose of nutrients to help calm coughs. Tiny Austrian elderberries provide big support to the immune system through a blast of antioxidants and vitamins, while marine algae in South Carolina delivers a type of omega 3 nutrient to support brain function.
To learn more about the efficacious properties of dark honey, elderberries, and algae follow along with this upcoming blog series where we will focus on several key natural ingredients to keep your family healthy because you deserve a simple, authentic approach to wellness.
Of the most joyful events of your life can easily turn into a nightmare. Postpartum depression is real, and it affects 1 in 7 women.
Postpartum depression can cause mothers to feel sad, overwhelmed and inadequate to the point of wanting to harm themselves or even their baby. It's a problem for many women, but the good news is there are ways to naturally prevent and treat it.
The concern many women face is taking medication following the delivery of their baby when they are breastfeeding. Since what the mother consumes can enter her breastmilk, many women forgo anti-depressants. This can lead to much more devastating consequences when postpartum depression gets out of control.
As an alternative, many women have been turning to natural remedies such as placenta encapsulation, omega-3 supplements, Sam E, bright light therapy and acupuncture.
Placenta encapsulation is the process of manufacturing a pill with pieces of your placenta inside of it. Since the placenta delivers all of the nutrients to the growing fetus, it is full of them even after delivery. There's also estrogen in the placenta, which the body lacks after having a baby. These low levels of estrogen can play a role in depression, which is why getting it from the placenta may be helpful.
To make the placenta ready for encapsulation, it must be dehydrated, steamed and then ground. The grounds are what go inside of the pills.
Besides providing them with nutrients and hormone replacement after birth, some women report it increases milk supply. Since many new mothers feel inadequate when they cannot produce enough milk for their baby, this boost can also help women avoid feeling depressed.
Omega-3s are fatty acids found in fish. They can help boost women's moods after having a baby. Hormones and the life transitions that come along with having a new baby can alter moods. To keep them more stable, women sometimes take omega-3 supplements or increase their intake of fish.
Sam-E is a natural molecule found in neurotransmitters. Studies have found this supplement may be able to decrease the risk of postpartum depression. The good news is that there are no reports of side effects in breastfed babies.
Folic acid, or vitamin B6, is something most women take during pregnancy, and they should continue the supplement after delivery. It's been known to help with depression because a deficiency in it often leads women to have low energy, which can make caring for an infant difficult.
Bright light therapy has been used for quite some time to help people with seasonal depression. In a postpartum study, the therapy was shown to help with depression as well. This therapy involves sitting under a 10,000 lux light source from 30 to 60 minutes each day.
Acupuncture may also be a consideration. While there still needs to be more research on using it for postpartum depression, it may have some benefits since it has been shown to help women who suffer from depression during pregnancy.
Besides one of the above natural remedies, remember to eat healthy foods during this important time in your life and the babies. Something as simple as adding prebiotics to your diet could make the necessary changes to keep postpartum depression at bay. Just speak to your doctor before you start to make sure these methods are safe for you and your baby.

Chinese Weichai Group takes controlling interest in Ferretti
by MarineBusiness-World.com on 11 Jan 2012
Weichai Group now takes a 75% interest in the world's largest luxury yacht builder, Ferretti. Ferretti S.p.A
China's Shandong Heavy Industry, which makes commercial vehicles, construction machinery and other heavy-duty industrial products and its subsidiary Weichai Group (SHIGWeichai Group) has announced that it has reached agreements with the major creditors of the world's largest luxury yacht maker, the Italian company Ferretti Group ('Ferretti'), to acquire a controlling interest (75%) in Ferretti by participating in Ferretti's debt restructuring.
Through a total investment of 374 million Euros, including equity investment of 178 million Euros and provision of debt financing of 196 million Euros, SHIG-Weichai Group will acquire a 75% interest in the yacht maker after the completion of the debt restructuring procedures. Existing creditors will acquire the remaining 25% interest in Ferretti through a 25 million Euros equity injection and debt to equity swap.
Through the acquisition, Ferretti's capital structure will be fully restructured with equity capital increase by 100 million euros and total debts reduce to a reasonable level at around 120 million euros. The business will enjoy a strong capital base which will help drive its long-term development plans.
Ferretti, the world's largest luxury yacht manufacturer, boasts one of the worlds most advanced naval research and development centres (AYT the Ferretti Groups Advanced Yacht Technology) and a team of architects and designers (Centro Stile Ferrettigroup). It also has a comprehensive global supply chain, which includes more than 800 suppliers, as well as some of the world's most advanced yacht manufacturing systems.
Ferretti has eight highly regarded and recognized yacht brands and owns a total of eight shipyards in Italy as well as in Miami, USA, and employs nearly 2,000 employees.
Leveraging its ample resources, SHIG-Weichai aims to facilitate Ferretti's expansion in emerging markets such as Asia, with a particular focus on Greater China, which will be an important growth engine for Ferretti's future development. In addition, the Group will provide a range of other resources including capital support to Ferretti to stimulate its rapid business development in both the traditional European and American markets as well as other emerging markets.
After the acquisition, the Group will continue to uphold its operational principle of unifying strategies and resources while operating independently and will retain Ferretti's key management team, headquarters and production bases in Italy.
Mr Tan Xuguang, Chairman of SHIGWeichai Group, said: 'Developing the yacht business is one of the Groups strategic goals for the next five years. Ferretti, which possesses iconic international brands, state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies, products of the highest quality and an extensive sales network, is an ideal partner.
'Through the acquisition, the Group will cooperate closely with this world-renowned yacht maker, providing Ferretti with new channels to market and capital support as well as other resources with which it can expand more effectively into emerging markets, a key area of potential growth for Ferretti. Synergies between the Group and Ferretti can be unleashed through the sharing of resources and industrial integration.
'Ferretti's overall competitive advantages in production cost, sales channels, after-sales service and financial strength will be improved, creating a win-win situation that will allow Ferretti to consolidate its leading position in the luxury yacht market.'
Mr Norberto Ferretti, Chairman and Founder of Ferretti Group declared 'We are very proud of this agreement with a prestigious partner such as SHIGWeichai Group. We are strongly convinced that this partnership will lead to very satisfactory results and will provide Ferretti Group with a strong capital base which will allow the development of long-term growth plans.
'Moreover China is one of the most rapidly developing countries for the yachting sector and has great potential for the coming 5 to 10 years.'
SHIGWeichai Group is one of the most competitive equipment manufacturing groups in China offering a broad range of high quality commercial vehicles, construction machinery and other heavy-duty industrial products.
The Group operates four main divisions, namely commercial vehicles, construction machinery, power generation systems and auto parts. In addition to its solid market foundation in China, the Group has also been active in the overseas markets. In 2009, the Group acquired Moteurs Baudouin SA (Baudouin) in France through its subsidiary Weichai Power Co., Ltd. (Weichai Power), which has helped the Group expand into the international high-end yacht business.
After the acquisition, Weichai Power invested an accumulated 30 million euros and implemented multiple measures to improve Baudouins businesses and operations. Several objectives were achieved including the expansion of production scale, the enhancement of its R&D capabilities, as well as the recruitment of local employees. The sales volume of Baudouins engines increased from 74 units in 2009 to 352 units in 2011. The staff numbers rose from 120 in 2009 to 202 in 2011, playing a vital part in establishing Baudouins leading position in the marine power market.

In a Hipstivus Miracle, Brooklyn Kickball League Is Back On at McCarren Park
McCarren Park's baseball field will stay open this summer.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of the Brooklyn Paper, the plaid-covered residents of Williamsburg and Greenpoint will once again have a way to work off their tall boys. The Parks Department had planned to close McCarren Park's Gilroy Field for reseeding, a move that would have pushed back the start of the Brooklyn Kickball League until July 1. But a sudden reversal will once again allow players to engage in their ironic nostalgia for American pastimes come spring. The dusty baseball field still needs work, however. Expect league members to push up their oversize glasses and make apathetic gestures of protest should the field be closed in September.
Field of dreams! City backtracks, will allow league play at McCarren Park this summer [Brooklyn Paper]

The subject firm has closed its dorr and is now out of business following a complaint filed bye the Federal Trade commission in the U. S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri on August 15, 2002 (Civil Action No. 02-4174-CV-C-NKL; FTC File NO. 022 3201. The closing resulted from an action by the FTC against Grant Search, Inc., of Ashland, Oregon: Steven G Levine and Scott Stettnichs; Grant Pack, Inc., and Sunday R. Levine. FTC stated: The defendants allegedly told consumers that the defendants would match consumers with a suitable foundation "most likely to aprove (their) your grant, "regardless of the purpose of the grant. The defendants offered the purported grants as substitutes for traditional credit to consumers who have bad credit histories. The FTC alleges that although consumers could buy the program at two different prices, they received the same outdated list of foundations regardless of which program they purchased. Consumers learned that individuals were not eligible for the vast majority of the grants. The defendants offered a 100 percent money-back guarantee of the application fee, but when consumers requested a refund, the defendants denied the refund based on certain conditions or restrictions that the defendants did not previously disclose.

Ray Duval, 74, a prominent figure for decades on the Philadelphia theater scene, died Sunday, Oct. 14, of a heart attack.
Born Nathan Goldiner, Mr. Duval spent his life learning the ins and outs of the theater, whether recrafting Broadway classics for young children, performing in area productions, or volunteering at theater companies or festivals.
Mr. Duval was known as one of the faces of the Prince Music Theater, where he worked for the last 15 years as the house manager.
"He always said that he needed to know how to do every job in theater in order to be a part of the industry," said Ron Hunter, Mr. Duval's partner for more than 45 years.

OnApp Adds Incremental Backup for Virtual Servers and Smart Servers
Reduces the disk space and network bandwidth required for backups, enables service providers to offer more flexible backup options to their customers
The new version of OnApp also features a range of enhancements to location groups, virtual server troubleshooting, and diagnostics for OnApp Storage, the platform's integrated SAN. OnApp has also announced new rebranding capabilities for its Android app and an update to its cloud management app for iPhone and iPad.
"Like many new OnApp features, the incremental backup system was developed at the request of our customers," said Carsten Sjørup, OnApp's Chief Technology Officer. "Backup is a vital part of any cloud service, and to date we've supported snapshot backups of entire servers. Adding incremental backup gives our customers another way to improve efficiency and resilience in the back end, and offer more backup options to their users at the same time. We're looking forward to seeing how our customers use the new backup scheme as part of their services."
Incremental backup joins OnApp's existing snapshot capabilities for entire virtual servers and smart servers. Each type of backup can be taken on an ad-hoc basis or automated via a backup schedule, and service providers can control the number of free backups, and backup limits and prices, in their billing plans for different tiers of customer.
The incremental backup system supports Linux Virtual Servers running on Xen and KVM hypervisors, and smart servers running on KVM. Incremental backup for Windows and other operating systems is available through OnApp's partnership with Bacula4Hosts. OnApp will continue to enhance its backup capabilities in future releases.
The new version includes a range of other improvements for cloud service providers:
· Location groups can now contain cloud as well as CDN resources. Location groups enable service providers to group server, storage and network resources and assign them to a specific location, such as "Asia-Pacific"
· Recovery mode for virtual servers has been enhanced with the ability to add custom applications to a virtual server's recovery image. Service providers can automatically add disk tools, registry editors and other applications to help their administrators and customers with troubleshooting.
· OnApp Storage diagnostics have been improved with a new healthcheck screen. More than half of all new OnApp clouds are now deployed using OnApp's integrated SAN: the diagnostic tools simplify management of the storage system and help service providers identify and resolve issues such as zombie disks, and nodes that need rebalancing to maintain performance and redundancy.
OnApp has also released new branding packages for its iPhone/iPad and Android apps, which offer a broad range of mobile cloud management capabilities for service providers and their users. The packages enable OnApp customers to customize the apps with their own look, feel and brand identity. The new iOS package adds support for iOS 7, while the new Android package introduces branding capabilities to OnApp's Android app for the first time. Both packages are available free of charge to customers running the full version of OnApp.
The new version of OnApp, v3.2, is available as a free upgrade to existing customers.

I purchased 1000 of these and approximately 25% of the glow sticks were duds (or did not light up at all) out of the entire batch. That is about $20-30 wasted on GLOW sticks that did not glow. If you have dont mind spending your money on 75 glows sticks instead of 100 then go ahead and purchase this brand.
Probably 2% of the batch actually broke spilling the liquid (or whatever chemical it is) on clothes and furniture. These glow sticks were also difficult to keep on connected as many times the connectors broke or just slipped off the glow stick.
Overall, its not a terrible deal for the glow sticks but personally I would rather pay a little more for glow sticks that I know will light up, wont break, and will not fall off. LumiStick is not that brand.
Happy shopping.
I found them to be easy to snap, but they seem to be constructed with many internal "segments", each of which must be snapped for the entire length to glow. I've found that the best way to do it is to hold one end between thumb and forefinger, and with the thumb and forefinger of the other hand, starting at the same end, bend/snap gradually along the length to the other end. Think of squeezing toothpaste from a nearly empty tube, which curls as you squeeze.
BUT! As some of the other reviews have said, be careful to neither bend the tube too sharply while doing this, nor to squeeze too hard. The tube is prone to cracking at the end and leaking if you do.
Hence, I would be cautious giving one of these to a small child to do for themselves, and I'd probably supervise rambunctious older children too.
At this price, it's a fair gimmick for a party or doling out an occasional nighttime treat for a child. Just have realistic expectations about what 12 cents apiece buys you. :-) And supervise smaller children carefully with them.
Anyway, yesterday afternoon I got them out to show my son who is excited about his birthday coming up this weekend. The first one that I pulled out seemed fairly dim after I activated it. When I bent it around my own wrist it burst open spewing it's dim glow-in-the-dark substance all over my shirt. I rinsed the shirt out with cold water and threw it into the washer on soak cycle, and, thankfully, the stuff came out with no lasting stain on the shirt.
I thought that the first stick was just a bad one so I activated another one and wrapped it around my son's wrist. Twenty minutes later I heard him scream from another room in the house. According to my son, he had taken off the bracelet and put then put it back on, on, off, on off a couple of times. Then it exploded all over the couch and carpet, just like the first one had done all over my shirt. Again, thankfully, I was able to clean up the mess with only some cold water and scrubbing of the upholstery and carpet.
However, I told my son that we can not give these out to his party guests. We are two for two with bad sticks. I can't risk that they won't burst open and splash some kid in the eye with the normal wear and tear they are going to receive from rowdy third graders.
Were they ruined by the two weeks sitting on the floor? I don't know. Even if that's what happened, they score a zero in my book for durability.
These things are absolutely worthless. Listen to the other reviewers. If I could give them 0 stars, I would.
Avoid the Lumistick brand at all costs.

Reviews for Racing Hearts
Racing Hearts helped me evaluate what my organization needed and how I could cost-effectively get the equipment in need.
Stephanie provided to me (literally) life-saving information.
Thank you!
I was involved in the start up of Racing Hearts but have not been involved directly for over a year. It has been amazing to see the impact Racing Hearts has had in our local communities; through advocacy multiple cities now have AEDs accessible in case of need. My daughter is a runner and it has been great to see Racing Heart partnering with dozens of races to provide life saving AEDs along the race courses. Stephanie and her board are committed and have high integrity. I appreciate all they have done to educate people and increase public safety.
Representing the partnership with Sports Basement and Racing Hearts I have to say that Stephanie Martinson and Racing Hearts has been outstanding to work with. We are extremely happy to be working with such a great person and a great cause.
Racing Hearts has been a great community partner and we firmly support all of the hard work and efforts that they provide for the community.
The support has been mutually beneficial and we look forward to continuing this great relationship.
The generosity of Racing Hearts AED lending program allows local races to have that extra piece of mind by providing a safe environment for their athletes.

A lot
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
We direct 20+ running events every year in the Bay Area and think it's always important to have AEDs on site at our races. We hope a situation never arises where they are needed but, if there ever is a need, we want them to be there. We support Racing Hearts in their efforts to have AEDs at all athletic events.

I first learned about Racing Hearts through the organization's incredibly motivated and passionate founder. I never knew how important it was to get AEDs in schools and at sporting events, and how simple it can be to make these life-saving devices available. Racing Hearts can literally save lives, and it does so through an all-volunteer, highly efficient organization. I've been very impressed by everything I've seen from Racing Hearts, and hope the organization continues to grow.

Featured Golf Course Review:
|Experience at Koele, The -- Enjoyable golf in one of the world's greatest settings
|Review by: Gary Tharp
|The Experience at Koele is a very nice Greg Norman designed layout that will having you often looking at the scenery in lieu of thinking about your next shot. One of two golf coures on the very upscale and exclusive island of Lanai, playing the Experience is a wonderful way to spend part of the day. The staff are very friendly and cater to whatever you need. Guests are there to have a good time and many people from around the globe find their way to Lanai to stay and play. When I played, the course was not quiet mature enough and, when mature, the golf course will be superb. It has been three years since then and I look forward to the next time I get a chance to stay on Lanai and enjoy again this course and/or the Nicklaus course near the ocean. If I only had one resort visit left in me, it would be to the Manele Bay Hotel and the island of Lanai. What more can I say.

|Ted Makalena Golf Course -- Is this what you call a golf course?
|Review by: Wendy Takashi
|This course is like a practice course. It doesn't get the excitement of the golfer because of the way it looks of make you feel. It just seems like a place to play golf as that. Some places make you feel special and proud that you can play on a course like that, but this one no.

|Open, resource and monitoring tool
|Tue, 02 May 2000 20:28:01 GMT
Hi I am writing an open resource and performance monitoring tool which will have a metering api and will allow both plugged viewers for representing data and sensors to easily monitor diverse data sources. Also will support remote monitorization using JNDI for data sources lookup. This tool will come with some sensors for Tomcat, and my question is what would you like to see monitored in it (memory usage, hits, average duration per operation, pool usage, ... ) and maybe what would be the best way to achieve that.

Our family (my wife, 16 yr old daughter and friend, and I) stayed at the Amalfi on Labor Day weekend. I had found The Amalfi on TripAdvisor when I began my search for a hotel to stay at. The one big thing we needed in a hotel was a suite to give the teenagers and us some separation and privacy. We booked one of their King Suite rooms and it was just what we wanted. It was much larger than it appeared on their website and had wonderful curved windows in each room. While the room was very nice the furniture was a little tired however it wasn't an issue just an observation. The check in was very quick and the bell staff are wonderful. Whenever we had any question or needed local advice someone was always available and gave us what we needed. The morning continental breakfast was a great touch and sometimes we had to go to other floors to find specific things we wanted but that is understandable. The evening reception was just OK. I say this because I think they need to do something different. It is conducted in a small room with limited seating and dimly lit. If this is something they are going to continue to do I would change the venue. This is also the only area where I felt even a little bit of attitude by the staff. It cam on Sunday night and the person working appeared to be a little put off toward the end and while I understand that can happen especially when there is free alcohol involved it still should never come across that way.
All in all we would definitely return to this hotel it was excellent!
