Showing results for: Carbon footprint
This paper by researchers in Peru and Spain recognises the as yet uninvestigated potential for developing countries, such as Peru, to mitigate their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by changing dietary patterns, given that food represents a high proportion of household expenditure. The study employed Life Cycle Assessment to analyse the impacts of 47 Peruvian diet profiles.
In this information note from the CGIAR programme on Climate change, Agriculture and Food security (CCAFS), researchers present a rough estimate of the proportion of global agricultural emissions that can be attributed to smallholder farmers in developing countries.
This research calculates the carbon footprint of a meal to give a tangible example, aimed at the public in the US, about how daily food decisions can affect deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe). The study uses a life-cycle assessment (LCA) approach that takes into account GHGe arising from the conversion of mangrove to cattle pastures and mangrove to shrimping ponds as well as from forests to pasture (cattle induced deforestation).
This research links the self-reported Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) data of Swedish participants, to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data of carbon footprint for food products. The results of this study indicate that a self-selected diet low in diet related greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) provides comparable intake of nutrients as a diet high in GHGE, and adheres to dietary guidelines for most nutrients.
Based on a case study from Oakland California, a new report by Friends of the Earth US finds that schools can make lunches healthier and more climate-friendly while also saving money— by reformulating menus so that they are more plant centred, and contain less (and better) meat and fewer dairy products.
This report, by the US based NRDC (The Natural Resources Defense Council) finds that the per capita diet related carbon footprint of the average US citizen decreased by 10% between 2005 and 2014, driven by a 19% decrease in beef consumption.
This summary has been provided by FCRN member Alessandro Cerutti from the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC).
Public administrations such as schools, hospitals and other sectors are well aware of the effort required to manage all the stages of the catering service, from menu selection through to waste management. Several strategies hold potential to reduce the environmental impacts throughout these stages, especially in the context of the Green Public Procurement (GPP). Unfortunately, despite the best of intentions, budget constraints are constantly forcing managers to make difficult trade-offs.
In this paper, using three scenarios for food demand, the researchers model and highlight the indirect relationship between greenhouse gas (GHG) emission abatement within the food supply system and the energy system, globally.
The Farm Carbon Cutting Toolkit (FCCT) has launched a crowdfunding campaign to support UK farmers in adopting Carbon Farming techniques. This approach aims to minimise carbon emissions and maximise carbon sequestration on farms, particularly in soils.
This article by T.C. Ponsioen of Wageningen University, and H.M.G. van der Werf of INRA, discusses the major sources of inconsistency in life cycle assessment (LCA) analyses of food and drink, and makes recommendations to address these inconsistencies. The article begins by describing the many attempts that have been made to standardise (or 'harmonise') environmental footprints of food and drink, and identifies five main areas which lack consensus.
This paper examines high-resolution, crop-specific GHG emissions and GHG intensity estimates which are derived using a method that couples biophysical models with novel 5-arc-minute resolution data.
Psychological research has shown that people often don't make decisions on a rational basis, but rather do so heuristically - based on rules of thumb - that can systematically bias choices. This has important implications when it comes to promoting the sustainable consumption of food.

In the last few days, I have been looking at risk factors for heart disease. So far I have looked at:
- A list of the risk factors for heart disease.
- Heart Disease Risk Factors that don't seem to be a problem for me.
- Heart Disease Risk Factors that affect me, but I have no control over.
Today, I will take my final look at heart disease risk factors and I will look at the risk factors that do affect me, and I need to work on and look out for.
What are my personal Risk Factors?
- High Blood Pressure
- Diabetes
- Obesity
- Stress
High Blood Pressure
I have been hypertensive (had high blood pressure) for many years. My blood pressure is in good control using medication. I currently take 3 different medications to control my blood pressure. It is my goal to minimize the number of medications needed and the amount of each medication. I believe that as I work on this, I can minimize the use of medication and control the blood pressure by losing weight, exercise, and other lifestyle changes.
This is something that is very important to me, and I am working hard to achieve this. In all areas of my life, I don't like to take medication and try to minimize it as much as possible.
I have had diabetes for about 25 years, almost 26 years now. When I first was diagnosed with diabetes, I tried to control it, but no matter how hard I tried, I was not successful in gaining control over the disease.
After attempting unsuccessfully to control diabetes, I just gave up. I did nothing about it at all, I just let my blood sugar go high and it was not a concern to me. That was a stupid thing to do, but it is also a common thing among diabetics, unfortunately.
In 2014, I was in the hospital because of a severe infection that I got from a bug bite. During this time, I had a new doctor, and I like him. He had a good bedside manner and talked to me in a way that was not demeaning. He talked to me about diabetes and getting it under control. I listened to him and I took action.
In 2014, I gained fair control over diabetes, much better than being totally out of control as it had been for 20 years or more. As 2014 ended, though, I found it harder and harder to control diabetes.
During 2014, my doctor had been urging me to start using insulin. He felt that I that I had been diabetic for so long that my body was no longer producing any insulin or a very low level at most. I avoided this, I did not want to inject myself with insulin, and I wanted to use diet and exercise to control diabetes.
In early 2015, I could see that my use of diet and exercise alone was not successful in controlling diabetes to the level needed. So, in March 2015, I started using insulin, based on the recommendation of my doctor. It was great, my diabetes was in much better control, but there was one problem. I was gaining weight. In 2016, though, I took action that impacted my diabetes, use of insulin and control of the disease. More on that in my next article.
No beating around the bush. I have been obese all of my life that I can remember. When I was in elementary school I was going to Weight Watchers. I tried all kinds of diets from a young age, but I just kept getting bigger. I would say that all of my personal heart disease risk factors are interrelated. High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, and Obesity. They are all related to each other, and I want to change all 3 of them!
In 2016, I found what appears to be a solution to all three of these risk factors. It is a controversial solution in the eyes of many people. I feel, though, that it is something that solves, or greatly reduces, my chances of further heart problems.
I'll put it all out there tomorrow! Come back and read my solution!

text: Half of US Docs Prescribe Placebos Many physicians believe in psychological impact of prescriptions By Peter Fearon, Newser Staff Posted Oct 24, 2008 5:45 AM CDT 0 comments Comments Half of US doctors admit having prescribed placebos for their patients. (AP Photo/Darron Cummings, file) View 1 more image (Newser) – Half of US doctors admit prescribing drugs to patients just for the placebo effect—to make them think they are taking something beneficial, reports the Chicago Tribune. As many as 56% prescribed antibiotics, painkillers, vitamins, and sedatives in cases where they didn't expect them to have any benefit physically, but thought the pills might have a positive psychological impact, according to a survey. "Frankly, I was astonished," said a bioethics expert. A common case is prescribing antibiotics for upper respiratory infections when patients are insistent. "Most of the time, I'll tell patients, 'You really don't need an antibiotic.' But if someone's really nervous or distressed, I'll write a prescription," said one physician. "If they think it will help them it may have a placebo effect." (Read more medicine stories.)

Radio Medical Traffic
One of the more unusual aspects of practicing medicine in bush Alaska is Radio Medical Traffic, or RMT. It is integral to the concept of health care delivery via community health aides. When a patient comes into a village clinic to be seen by a health aide, there is a prescribed order to how things happen. The health aide takes vital signs and records the chief complaint on the Patient Encounter Form. She (80% of health aides are female) then consults the bible of her practice, the Community Health Aide Manual, or CHAM. The CHAM is a large, three-volume reference and cookbook of medicine, organized by presenting problem. It is extremely detailed and thorough. She fills out the encounter form with history of present illness, past health history, medications, allergies, other history (including tobacco use, immunizations, LMP/pregnancy history), physical exam, assessment, plan, medications given in clinic, medications for home, special/other care, and recheck/follow-up. Very thorough, and all by the book.
Depending on the health aide's level of training, the encounter form may stop at assessment; more advanced and experienced health aides will include what they think the plan should be. In some well-defined instances, the higher level health aides have standing orders that they may implement. A positive rapid strep test, for instance, may be treated on the spot with an LA Bicillin injection if the patient has no penicillin allergy and no other problem.
Most of the time, however, the health aide stops at assessment, tells the patient she must confer with a hospital provider and will get back to the patient later in the day with a plan. She then faxes her encounter form to the hospital and waits to be called back. The faxed encounter forms are collectively known as RMT, from the days not so long ago when medical traffic was actually done on VHF radio.
It is the responsibility of each provider to do the traffic with their assigned villages. Faxes come in throughout the day and are placed on the provider's clipboard in clinic. As time allows throughout the day, we call our villages and talk with the health aides about the patients they have seen, going over the encounter form, asking additional questions, sometimes requesting additional tests. Often there is a good opportunity for one-on-one teaching with the health aide. The provider's assessment is recorded on the encounter form next to the health aide's assessment, and a plan for the patient is agreed upon.
Each village clinic has a limited pharmacy supplied by the hospital from which the health aide can dispense medications on the order of the provider. Antibiotics available in the village are amoxicillin, penicillin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (single strength only), doxycyline, erythromycin, cephalexin, and ceftriaxone. The health aides are trained to mix suspensions as needed.
The patient returns to the clinic later in the day to pick up the medications and read (or have read to them) the CHAM's "Education for patients" pages according to the provider's assessment.
The whole system works pretty smoothly as long as the patient is not of high acuity and the provider is not overwhelmingly slammed in the hospital. (For urgent cases, the health aide does not have to wait for a call back; she can have the hospital operator page the physician covering the inpatient unit, or the ER physician on nights and weekends.) But on any given day, there are always "orphan" villages, those whose assigned provider is out of the hospital; and those whose provider is so slammed in clinic that he or she is not able to do RMT. So each afternoon, two providers are assigned to do nothing but RMT, calling their own villages and all the orphans.
When the traffic is not too heavy, this is a really fun assignment. You get to talk with health aides in lots of different villages, find out what the weather is doing all over the region, how the hunting or fishing is going for the different villages, how the health aides themselves are doing. You can come to know health aides fairly well that you've never met.
On a slow afternoon, I'll have a stack of less than 50 patient encounter forms on which I have written my assessment and the plan I agree upon with the health aide who saw that patient. My copy then goes to medical records for inclusion in the patient's hospital chart. The health aide's copy goes into the patient's village chart. On a killer afternoon, that stack will have more than 80 encounter forms; my personal record is 116. At that rate there is no time for chit-chat or amenities. We depend strongly on the health aide's ability to know which patients are truly sick, and which ones simply don't feel well. They are very good at that. And quite forthright about saying "I really want this patient to go in to the hospital for further evaluation." When that is the case, the patient comes in, either by scheduled flight, charter, or medevac.
RMT is an essential part of how we provide care in the far-flung corners of this giant region. We couldn't do it without the amazing health aides, who are truly "the eyes and hands of the doctor". They do an incredible job.

Subscribe To Dexter's Courtney Ford Joins True Blood For Season 4 Updates
I've already subscribed
If I were to guess what the sister of True Blood's dopey detective Andy might be like, I'm not sure I would have pictured Courtney Ford. It seems the actress who played a recurring role in Dexter last season is set to join True Blood for Season 4.
Ford's TV credits include a recent role on the CW's The Vampire Diaries, which certainly helps her qualifications for this next job. According to Deadline, Ford will join HBO's True Blood to play Portia Bellefleur. She's described as a Southern beauty who runs her own law practice and also happens to be Andy's sister. It's hard to picture the insecure Andy with a beautiful and presumably successful attorney for a sister. Still, It'll be interesting to see how she fits into the story.
While Ford has a number of TV credits to her name, Dexter fans will recognize her from her role as reporter Christina Hill, Quinn's love interest last season. Things didn't end well for her character. Hill's also the wife of the dreamy Brandon Routh (Chuck, Superman Returns).

Proprietary Red Blend: Insignia
"The flagship wine of the estate in reds is their Insignia, which has been one of the great Bordeaux blends made in California since the debut vintage in 1974. It usually has 30+ years aging potential, even in lighter vintages, of which the 2012, 2013 and 2014 are decidedly not. An amazing, inky purple colour offers up notes of pen ink, white flowers, blueberry and blackberry liqueur. Nicely coiled, its tense, but rich and extracted palate is full-bodied with layers of concentrated fruit, well-integrated wood, acidity and tannin, and a finish of a good 40-45 seconds. This stunner should hit its prime in 5-6 years and last 30-40 years. Range: 96-100" - The Wine Advocate

Opposition Proceeding (Page 2 of 4)
Previous | Table of Contents | Next
This information is to be considered solely as a guide and should not be quoted as or considered to be a legal authority. Users of this information must also consult the Trade-marks Act, the Trade-marks Regulations and in decisions of the courts interpreting them. In the event of any discrepancy between the legislation and the information contained herein, the legislation will apply.
Standing in an opposition proceeding
Any person is entitled to start an opposition, provided that such person relies on at least one of the grounds of opposition set out in s. 38 of the Trade-marks Act. If desired, any number of persons can be named jointly as opponents.
It is highly recommended that an opponent hire a registered trademark agent to represent it. Opposition proceedings typically are complex and cost much time and money, so you should choose your trademark agent carefully. Choose someone with proven expertise in this field. A list of trademark agents is available online or by contacting the Client Service Centre.
Starting an opposition proceeding and filing a statement of opposition
An opposition is commenced by the filing of a statement of opposition, in duplicate, with the prescribed fee
An opposition cannot be commenced until after the trademark application has been advertised in the Trademarks Journal. Once the application has been advertised, there is a two-month period within which a would-be opponent can either file a statement of opposition or request an extension of time for the purpose of doing so. Once the two-month period of time has elapsed, it may still be possible for a would-be opponent to start an opposition proceeding if it can obtain a retroactive extension of time for so doing. However, the Registrar will not act on any correspondence from a would-be opponent that is received after the trademark application has been allowed (you can conduct a search to determine the status of a trademark application and you can order copies of all or certain portions of an application file).
To request an initial extension of the two-month period for opposing an application, a would-be opponent (or its trademark agent) must:
- Compose a letter setting out the following:
- the identity of the trademark application being opposed, namely the trademark, the application serial number, the date of advertisement in the Trademarks Journal, and the name of the applicant;
- the identity of the would-be opponent, namely the name of the opponent, and its Canadian address (if the opponent does not have a Canadian address, then the name and address of its Canadian trademark agent or representative for service)
- the name and address of the opponent's trademark agent, if any;
- sufficient reasons to explain why the extension of time is required;
- the method by which the prescribed fee is being paid (see Payment of prescribed fees).
- Forward the letter and prescribed fee to the Canadian Intellectual Property Office Attention Opposition Board so that they arrive prior to the expiration of the two-month deadline (see Practice Notice entitled : Correspondence Procedures).
To commence an opposition, a would-be opponent (or its trademark agent) must:
- Prepare a statement of opposition, having regard to the following:
- Form 8: Statement of Opposition to an Application for Registration of a Trademark;
- s. 38(2) of the Trade-marks Act lists the only grounds on which an application may be opposed;
- s. 38(3) of the Trade-marks Act requires a statement of opposition to be set out in sufficient detail to enable the applicant to reply; a proper pleading alleges the material facts but not the evidence, which the party intends to adduce to establish those facts; and
- s. 38(4) of the Trade-marks Act authorizes the Registrar to not permit the opposition to proceed if the statement of opposition fails to raise a substantial issue for decision.
- Prepare a covering letter setting out the details of the trademark application being opposed and the method by which the prescribed fee is being paid (see Payment of prescribed fees).
- Forward the covering letter, together with the statement of opposition in duplicate and prescribed fee, to the Canadian Intellectual Property Office Attention Opposition Board so that they arrive prior to the expiration of the applicable deadline (see Correspondence Procedures).

Mark Morford wrote in last week's SF Gate a tribute (of sorts) to Apple's packaging. He was dead on. When I bought my iPod, I was amazed at the packaging. The iPod was presented like a piece of art or an elaborate gift. The origami-like box that kept folding open again and again. To be honest, I was almost as jazzed about the packaging as about the iPod itself. And the iPod didn't disappoint either. It's the most beautiful and usable MP3 player out there.
That's part of why I use Apple products, because the hardware is much like the packaging. Jonathan Ive's team creates industrial designs that are as aesthetically pleasing as they are functional.
They are not art. Art is something that exists merely to be observed, thought about, considered. It's not just pretty, as there is plenty of ugly art (and intentionally so, though not always) that serves an aesthetic need.
Macs are intended to be used, first and foremost, but they are also aesthetically pleasing. They're not art, but that doesn't mean (despite what nearly all the other hardware manufacturers seem to think) that they can't be useful and aesthetically pleasing. Good design makes it a joy to use the item, and it's worth paying a little extra for.

What better time than NOW to revamp your eyewear by jumping on some of the freshest trends springing up on the runways. Many designers are treating our senses to bold and colorful new lines. We hope you will find inspiration in our Spring & Summer Trends selection:
Harking back to bygone eras, this earthy eyewear takes a deep dive into vintage styling. The color palette says it all, with dated hues made new. Amber and green muddled with whites, quintessential rounds in both wire and chunky acetate constructions, and bridges and browlines that are reminiscent of yesteryear.
With the "athleisure" trend more prevalent than ever, eyewear follows suit. Sporty is now very versatile, allowing for frames to be worn during any activity, not just on the court or field. Head-turners include shields, rubberized effects, and color-blocking. Plus more fashion-forward elements like two-toned finishes; pinks, purples, and reds, and hip double bridges.
Fashion is built upon eccentricity, and each of these frames makes a statement that cannot be ignored. You will find flashy lenses, gradient coloration, baroque detailing, plus hybrid shapes and cool cut-outs. Adopting an "anything goes" attitude is a must for embracing these looks.
Delivering clean designs with industrial-inspired details for big impact. "Minimal" serves as the key word when it comes to color – or lack thereof – as ebonies, ivories, grays, nudes, clears and metallics take center stage. But sophisticated can still be bold - check out zero base (a.k.a. flat) lenses, and textured, matte, and translucent finishes.

Hoodies are the most popular logo-wear at the OCCC bookstore, Senior Sales Associate Pamela Simonds said.
"Women buy zip-ups so they don't mess up their hair, and men buy the pullovers," she said. "We sell hoodies every day."
There are many different styles, colors, and logos of OCCC clothing in the bookstore: purple and pink hoodies with animal print letters, T-shirts in a rainbow of colors, flip-flops, full-length or capri sweatpants, and much more.
There is a banquet to choose from whether you are a fashionista or a comfortista.
The most popular T-shirt sports the phrase "Undefeated since 1972." Simonds called this "a fun shirt that gets a lot of comments." There have been three different designs of the "Undefeated" tee.
In the past 30 years that she has been working at the OCCC bookstore, Simonds has been generally happy with the designs, which come from their several vendors.
"I love all of them," she said. She sometimes helps selects the styles they stock.
She said she has disliked maybe one or two over the years. In fact, Simonds admits she's a big fan of the college logo-wear.
"If Stacy and Clinton from 'What Not to Wear' ever came to my house, they would throw all of my clothes away because 90 percent of them have OCCC on them," she said.
She pulled up a photo on her computer desktop from her recent camping trip. In the picture with her husband, she is wearing an OCCC T-shirt.
Student Kelly Parish said she too has a collection of OCCC clothing.
She doesn't have a particularly favorite logo, but she does prefer the T-shirts to the hoodies.
"I have four or five T-shirts, one hoodie, and a pair of sweatpants," she said. Her favorite T-shirt is lime green.
During the interview Parish was wearing the popular "Undefeated" T-shirt in bright pink. When asked how she likes it she said, "It's OK."

Climate Change: Solutions For Sustainable Development
Warmer surface temperatures over just a few months in the Antarctic can splinter an ice shelf and prime it for a major collapse, NASA and university scientists have reported. The process can be expected to become more widespread if Antarctic summer temperatures increase. Above: The Larsen B ice shelf, which collapsed in 2000. Photo credit: NASA
Scientists agree the Earth's climate is being directly affected by human activity, and for many people around the world, these changes are having negative effects. Records show that 11 of the last 12 years were among the 12 warmest on record worldwide.
The just-released Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Summary for Policy Makers — the first volume of the IPCC's 4th Assessment Report — states that scientists are more than 90% confident that human industrial activity is driving global temperature rises. (add your thoughts on the report at RealClimate.org)
Carbon dioxide levels today are nearly 30 percent higher than they were prior to the start of the Industrial Revolution, based on records extending back 650,000 years.
According to NASA, the polar ice cap is now melting at the rate of 9 percent per decade. Arctic ice thickness has decreased 40 percent since the 1960s.
The current pace of sea-level rise is three times the historical rate and appears to be accelerating.
The number of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes has almost doubled in the last 30 years. The IPCC 4th Assessment Report said that this trend would likely continue.
Droughts in the Sahel during the 1970s and 1980s were found to be caused by warmer sea surface temperatures, and the current drought in the Amazon is suspected to be a result of rising ocean temperatures.
Poverty and food insecurity has also been tied to climate variability.

Women all over the world have been suffering from a common problem for years; a vagina that feels loose and flappy. It sounds like a crazy thing to be worried about – but it's natural to feel insecure about your body as it goes through changes. This natural phenomenon has caused a lot of grief to a lot of relationships because of the effects that it has on their sex lives. Many couples have turned unhappy due to this significant change in their lives, and I believe that it is time for us to make a stand and put an end to this once and for all.
So, why is this happening to all women?
The most common reasons for loose lady parts are childbirth, as well as aging. The pelvic floor muscles can become weak as you age due to low estrogen levels, and there are some rare cases where the walls loosen because of severe medical conditions.
Many women feel shame and embarrassment when talking about this issue, thinking there is nothing they can do to change it. Many women feel they can't even talk to their closest friends and family about it, which makes them feel they are alone.
I'm here to tell you that you're not alone! Do not worry; you are not alone in this journey. It is entirely natural to experience this. Everyone has and everyone will at some point in their lives.
The question "how can I make my vagina tighter" is one of the most common ones for women to ask online, and there isn't a super simple answer. Looseness is nothing to be ashamed about, and although it can be a sensitive topic, it 's nice to know that there are others out there who know exactly what you're going through.
Like you, they are looking for solutions, and there are many natural remedies out there, but only a few of them work. There are tons of myths that people still believe up to this day, but we are here to debunk those ideas which just are not functioning.
There are several natural ways to strengthen pelvic floor muscles, including herbal remedies, exercises, and natural firming creams. Let us take an in-depth look at each of these methods and how they work.
How Can I Make my Vagina Tight Again?
There are countless ways to make your vag tighter again, and most women tend to ignore the more natural ways by going straight to the surgical procedures. This can be expensive, and even dangerous. There are far easier ways to get your vagina back to the way it was when you were young and spry. Your vaginal walls may have stretched through age or pregnancy, but that can be changed by consistent treatment with natural remedies.
Many women have opted to go for surgical procedures, which can be very expensive, not to mention risky and invasive. Instead, more women have passed through the all-natural route that is a lot more budget-friendly, and much safer. Personally, I think that using natural products to get your tightness back is the most reasonable thing to do. For one thing, it's not expensive, and another reason is that it just works safely and naturally. Another good thing about going the all natural route in tightening your vagina is that you can back out any time you want. Unlike surgeries, once the procedure is done it is done. So, if anything goes wrong, you might need another one to fix it up or worse, permanent damage.
Why do Vaginal Walls Stretch Out Over Time?
Why do your cervical walls stretch and get loose? When women give birth, their cervical canals open up to let the baby through. The vagina will recover over time, but more often than not it will never be the same way that it was before the pregnancy. This happens to all women regardless of age, but more so for older women are more susceptible, as not only has pregnancy taken a toll on their bodies, but age has as well.
Natural Tightening for Women and How To Keep it
As research into the human body gets further advanced, new techniques and remedies are discovered for all kinds of ailments and issues. Rejuvenating your vagina is no different. Often what researchers find though, is that natural medicines and resources that have been used hundreds of years can be just as effective as stronger, more recently-discovered medicines. In some cases, these traditional medicines are even more efficient than modern treatments!
There are some things that you can start doing at home which can have lasting effects on your body. These remedies involve using all-natural products that are more reliable and fast-acting. The secret to having firm vag is consistency. The more consistent you are with your treatment, the better the results are, not to mention longer lasting. Your body is only as good as you allow it to be. That is why having the motivation to do all these natural vaginal tightening techniques on a consistent basis is such an important part of how to keep your vagina tighter.
Will A Good Diet Help Tighten Your Vagina?
The results that you will see online when looking through reviews are somewhat mixed. Some women find having a proper diet is extremely helpful with restoring tightness to their nether regions, while others find little to no success in doing it. I think it's a good idea to have a well-balanced diet anyway, but to go as far as saying certain food help tighten your vagina to me sounds like a case of the placebo effect.
Regardless of the results of these studies, it is always a good idea to start with your diet, because a healthy regimen is crucial to most aspects of your body and lifestyle. Not only does it give your body what it needs to function properly, but it also puts your health in a better condition to make the best out of everything that you do. It's like a chain reaction, if you eat well, you will start to look better and that in turn will help give you more confidence. Having a balanced life result in having more confidence, and in turn, can lead to a happier less stressful life, and let's face it, we could all do with some of that!
Herbal Remedies and Solutions
Numerous herbs can help you get the firmness back "down there." One of these natural substances is gooseberries; a small fruit which is effective in firming and tightening the muscles. Simply boil the gooseberries, and apply the solution over the opening of your vulva on a regular basis. Gooseberries solution will restore strength, suppleness, and elasticity to the walls in a matter of weeks or months. When applied regularly, a native gooseberries solution will make your vagina tighter, and also cleanse it of menstrual bacteria that may be making it slack.
Oak gall and Pueraria Mirifica are other available herbs with almost the same effect. This mixture can bring back the lost elasticity, suppleness, and strength of your lady garden. These two herbs are abundant in the astringent that help increases the flexibility of your pelvic muscles. Pueraria Mirifica, in particular, is a plant found in the northern parts of Thailand and Myanmar (Burma). This plant extract is often used in rejuvenating and anti-aging products. It works by fighting against the body's natural aging and reduction of its youthful properties.
This herb works by helping the vaginal tissues regain their elasticity, and has a phytoestrogen-like effect, which develops during a woman's adolescence. This helps the body tighten and firm up, just as younger women go through this process naturally during puberty. Many women who are in their 30's and 40's lack adequate quantities of estrogen and, therefore, supplementing this will help rejuvenate the vaginal tissues.
I tried a few of these remedies, and maybe I didn't give it enough time, but I didn't feel any real notable change. I'd love to hear from anyone who has had success in this area using these herbs by themselves. I'd also like to see more studies on natural remedies, as I feel there could be some significant advances, however, for now, I don't see it as the best option.
Other research I have seen includes using vinegar and water to shrink the vag instantly. I also read a few studies on using lime juice, pickling spices, and alum powder. I was not game enough to test these out personally, and much of what I have read about these support that decision! Simply put – these are myths, and they do not work.
Kegel Exercises for Women
Kegel exercises are one of the most popular and natural vaginal tightening techniques to tighten the muscles and keep them in a supple state.These vaginal exercises are designed to stretch the pelvic floor muscles which hold up the bladder. By doing these exercises regularly, you can strengthen your vaginal walls. Kegel exercises are performed by squeezing the inner pelvic muscles for about 5 seconds, relaxing for 5 seconds and squeezing again for another 5 seconds. Once you have figured out how to do this, repeat the exercise 5 to 6 times throughout the day. This exercise can be done discreetly, which means you can do it anywhere. No one will need to know that you are doing this to tighten your vagina!
When you are doing this exercise for the first time, locating the right muscles can be difficult. If you have trouble finding them, place your little finger inside your vagina and try to squeeze your muscles around the finger.
While Kegel exercises worked for me, I was super anxious to find something that would offer a real and lasting solution to my loose vagina problem. For Kegels to be effective, you need to be consistent. Similar to going to the gym. Some people will prefer this option, but for me, I was trying to look for a more sustainable solution. This is why Kegel workouts are my second choice for active natural tightening methods.
What Is the Best Vaginal Tightening Cream?
Creams and gels are becoming more and more popular for women who are unhappy with their vagina. They are relatively cheap, safe and some of them are incredibly efficient. It is important to find the right one for YOUR body though. Some use harsh chemicals, while others claim to be all natural, but actually, come from shady sources. Make sure you research all of the options so you can find the-the best products on the market.
I would recommend V-Tight Gel because it has been tested and proven to be the best cream for tightening the vagina. Regular use of this cream can fix looseness by restoring elasticity and strengthening the vaginal walls. This cream claims to work by itself, but can give quicker results when combined with a vaginal exercise program. As always, it is advisable to use as directed to get the best results. This can not be truer when discussing why V-Tight is the best vaginal tightening cream. You will see much better results if you use the whole program than just using the cream alone.
The best thing about this gel is that you don't have to wait for days to go back to your normal sex life. You can have sex only a few minutes after applying it. This product is made from Manjakani extract and other natural elements that have been used by Asian women for hundreds of years for these purposes. With money back guarantee, it is an excellent idea for females who aren't sure if it is going to be the right thing for them, and just want to try it out.
Should You Try V-Tight Gel?
All of these remedies can be effective, but it is important to remember that every woman – and every vagina – is different. Most women will find that one or all of these solutions are more efficient for their body – you need to choose the right one for you which will tighten you up and have you back in the sack and feel sexy again.
For the quickest most efficient results, I recommend a combination of V-Tight Gel natural tightening program with regular Kegel exercises. I have had great long lasting success with this combination, and I'm sure you will too.
Please make sure you purchase from the official manufacturer. There are many knock-offs out there, and you need to be careful to make sure you don't get ripped off. Make sure you ONLY buy from the official website.
Once you've tried it, I do not doubt that both you and your partner will be wondering what took you so long! Give it a try and enjoy!

Someone sent me this video of a December House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing at which GOP Rep. Dana Rohrabacher asked three Obama administration officials involved with Afghanistan some simple questions, which they could not answer. The questions were:
"How much are we spending annually in Afghanistan now?"
"How many killed and wounded have we suffered in the last 12 months?"
You have to watch this video to believe it.
You can find the answer here. Note that the lion's share of the 2,300 fatalities have occurred since Obama took his oath of office.
My Thursday column is about Afghanistan and President Obama's phone call during which he told Afghan President Karzai that he is asking the Pentagon to draw up plans for a zero option.
I want to believe that Obama doesn't want to exercise the zero option. For one thing, the next Afghan president surely will sign the document, and that should commit the administration to keep a limited force in country.
But after my deadline, I spoke with the Hoover Institution's Kori Schake and she is not of the same mind. Schake told me, "I think the president is setting the stage for the zero option, which I think is what he's wanted for some time."
At Tuesday's briefing, Jay Carney said that the "further we go without a signed BSA, any contemplative post-2014 mission would be necessarily limited in scale and ambition because of the requirements of planning for that troop presence." Schake takes that to mean that at best the administration seems to be leaning against Gen. Joseph Dunford's request that 10,000 U.S. troops remain, and instead will go with 3,000 troops.
Whatever happened to outrage if a president didn't listen to his generals' advice on troop strength? It appears to have died with the Bush presidency.

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the percent volume nonvolatile matter of a variety of clear and pigmented coatings. The approach used should provide faster and more accurate results than the use of the liquid displacement technique in Test Method D2697, particularly for coatings that are difficult to wet or that contain voids, cracks or other defects. The improvement in accuracy stems from the superior ability of helium gas under pressure to penetrate very small pores and surface irregularities in dried films. This provides a more accurate determination of void volumes than can be obtained via liquid displacement.
1.2 The technique will provide results under the following constraints:
1.2.1 The stability of the helium gas pycnometer is greater than ±0.005 cm3
1.2.2 Test specimen weights are greater than 1 g.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Leaders and organizations, primarily grounded in faith traditions, with decades of experience in providing training and resources to prevent and respond to domestic and sexual violence, and elder abuse.
Founded in 1993, CONNECT is a leading, non-profit training, educational and advocacy organization dedicated to the prevention and elimination of interpersonal violence in New York City.
Vision: The realization of a society based on mutuality, respect and social justice where institutions are accountable, communities are peaceful, families are safe and individuals are empowered.
Mission: CONNECT is dedicated to preventing interpersonal violence and promoting gender justice. By building partnerships with individuals and communities, CONNECT strives to help change the beliefs, behaviors and institutions that perpetuate violence. Through legal empowerment, grassroots mobilization and transformative education, CONNECT seeks to create safe families and peaceful communities.
FaithTrust Institute is a national, multifaith, multicultural training and education organization with global reach working to end sexual and domestic violence.
Founded in 1977 by the Rev. Dr. Marie M. Fortune, FaithTrust Institute offers a wide range of services and resources, including training, consulting and educational materials. We provide communities and advocates with the tools and knowledge they need to address the religious and cultural issues related to abuse. We work with many communities, including Asian and Pacific Islander, Buddhist, Jewish, Latino/a, Muslim, Black, Anglo, Indigenous, Protestant and Roman Catholic.
JWI is the leading Jewish organization empowering women and girls – through economic literacy; community training; healthy relationship education; and the proliferation of women's leadership.
Our innovative programs, advocacy and philanthropic initiatives protect the fundamental rights of all girls and women to live in safe homes, thrive in healthy relationships, and realize the full potential of their personal strength.
PFPis a national organization with international reach devoted to ending domestic violence. Our mission is to work towards ending all types of abuse in Muslim families by increasing awareness regarding the dynamics of domestic violence. We believe that a better understanding of religious and cultural values can be used as a resource to prevent domestic violence, and that religion and culture should never be used to justify abusive behavior. Through education and training, we seek to promote attitudes and beliefs that emphasize justice, freedom from oppression, and family harmony.
Domestic violence can affect anyone. Whatever your age, race, class, ethnicity, country of origin, first language, sexual orientation, or degree of able-bodiness, domestic violence can affect any of us. In fact, one in four women (25%) has experienced domestic violence in her lifetime.
Unfortunately, domestic violence affects people of every faith as well. No matter what your tradition, domestic violence may affect your home, your family, your neighbors, your community, your friends, or your congregation.
In fact, sometimes batterers use faith as a weapon. Batterers may say that the victim must forgive, that the victim must live with the abuse, or must keep the family together at any cost, all in the name of faith. This forces victims to choose between their personal safety and their faith. Many faithful people choose to remain faithful even if it means living in danger. One victim said, "I turned the other cheek, and turned the other cheek, until I ran out of faces."
Safe Havens was founded for all victims and survivors who have "run out of faces." At Safe Havens, we believe that no one should have to choose between faith and safety. We are a small grassroots interfaith agency that promotes hope and justice for victims and survivors of domestic violence and elder abuse.
Working as a bridge, Safe Havens strengthens the capacity of diverse faith communities and service providers to engage in collaborative efforts that address domestic violence and elder abuse. Safe Havens develops and provides education, resources, and technical assistance for service providers and faith leaders in order to improve community responses to domestic violence.
'We Will Speak Out' is a global coalition of like-minded Christian organisations, international aid agencies and an alliance of individuals who together commit themselves to see the end of sexual violence across communities around the world.
The Issue
Though often prevalent in conflict and humanitarian contexts, sexual violence is common within communities worldwide – but as an issue it remains largely hidden. Women, girls, men and boys are all at risk of sexual violence.
UN statistics find that:
UNiTE to End Violence Against Women, 2009
Our Mission
The Church is part of communities worldwide, with a mandate to care and stand with people who are marginalised and vulnerable. Shame and fear often lead to sexual violence being hidden in both churches and the wider community.
The coalition partnership works to harness efforts to end sexual violence together by supporting the church to speak out against sexual violence, show strong and positive leadership and become a 'safe' place for people to go to.
As a coalition, we can work together to influence legislation and policies with a united voice. We seek to give a voice to those who are most marginalised and create platforms for their voices to be heard.

Drake is widely recognized as being the most sensitive, feelings-having rapper in the history of the genre.
With self-pitying tracks like "I Get Lonely Too" and "Marvin's Room," the Canadian crooner has carved out a niche as a considered, sympathetic guy in a game full of single-minded bastards.
But Drake is coming under some scrutiny from rap fans who feel like he's taken unnecessary shots at Kid Cudi–and his widely reported mental health problems–in a new diss track released last night.
Talking about Cudi, who has recently checked in to rehab for depression and suicidal urges, in "Two Birds One Stone," he says: "You were the man on the moon, now you just go through your phases. Life of the angry and the famous," (a reference to Cudi's first and most popular record, Man on the Moon)
The line is seen as a retaliation to Kid Cudi's earlier digs aimed towards the Views rapper. In September, Cudi accused Drake of using ghost writers, before ranting about Drake (and Kanye West) on stage for their seeming lack of support in his career.
Kanye West has since buried the hatchet with Cudi, but it seems Drake isn't ready to let the issue lie, despite the rapper's evident mental health issues.

SKY students return from 5 days at Stathcona Provincial Park
The SKY students have returned from 5 days of canoeing, cycling and hiking at Stathcona Provincial Park. It was a challenging trip that included two nights of sleeping in the wilderness under a tarp to meet the requirements of the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Everyone had a wonderful time and the games and activities worked to unit the new grade 11 students with the existing grade 12s.

Mike and I have been looking forward to this project. We began forming an alliance with LBD some time ago, when Mike photographed a live bout. The images you see will be used for various promotional material for the Brawlin' Dolls.
The shoot itself was a bit chaotic – twenty skaters, their props and even families in attendance… however, we both had a great time. Speaking of props, props to Michael who did the majority of the shooting! I hope all the ladies like their images!

The girls of the Hairspa crafted some dramatic hair that deserved some dramatic lighting. Since the hair was big and bold I figured my images should be bold also.
I could not be happier with the results I got tonight. I am almost always a fan of negative space and nontraditional compositions, so image number one is an early favorite from the show. What is yours? Let me know in the comments!

Tippy Connect is an organization I have been a part of for nearly a year now. They focus on helping young professionals with networking, professional development and community involvement. If you would like to learn more about the organization you can talk to me, check out the web page, or facebook. The event was a blast the whole time. The overcast sky on Saturday was not only fantastic photography weather (cloud cover means nothing but soft, pleasing light), but also great running weather (warm but not hot). As a runner myself I was pleased to see how much support the race had. Pretzels, Gatorade, Great Harvest bread, time clock, music, and of course lots and lots of water. Enjoy 32 of my favorite images, they tell the story of the day better than I ever could with words.

- Overview
- Audience
- Prerequisites
- Preset or Custom Tags
- Applying Tags for Your Organization
- Reporting on Cloud Application Manager Tags
- Reporting on AWS
- Reporting on Google Cloud
- Reporting on OpenStack
- Reporting on vSphere
- Reporting on CloudStack

Tags give information about an instance deployed through Cloud Application Manager. They let you report on provider resources consumed by Cloud Application Manager users. They inform what box, provider, user, workspace, and such from Cloud Application Manager were involved in deploying an instance.
As an Cloud Application Manager administrator, you get to apply 10 tags for your organization. From the Settings, once you can add preset or custom tags, they're applied to the provider when a user launches an instance to any public or private cloud such as AWS, vSphere, Google Cloud, Azure, OpenStack, and CloudStack. They are applied on instances launched in Linux, Windows, CloudFormation, and RDS services.
You can use tags to report on usage metrics from the provider's interface. Tags help you understand how Cloud Application Manager resources are spread across your organization. Use them to identify usage patterns and optimize resources for your teams and users.
Cloud Application Manager supports tagging in the Enterprise Edition (SaaS & Virtual Appliance) for AWS, Google Cloud, OpenStack, CloudStack, and vSphere.
In the Settings for your organization, you can add tags under Settings > Tags.
All users with Cloud Application Manager organization administrator access.
Access to Cloud Application Manager, Management site.
The user must be an Administrator of the organization in Cloud Application Manager.
The user should be at the organization level scope to access the Settings option in the left side menu.
Preset or Custom Tags
A tag consists of a key and a value. You can tag with a custom or preset value.
- Custom - Enter any value that's meaningful to categorize instances, like department name.
- Preset - Choose from preset values such as box name, environment, and so on. Preset values give specific information about an instance. Choose a value from this table.
|Preset Value
|Box name
|Name of the box deployed.
|Environment name the user gave in the deployment profile when deploying the instance.
|Instance ID
|ID assigned by Cloud Application Manager, for example, i-extwmf.
|Provider name
|Provider defined in Cloud Application Manager to which the instance was deployed.
|Service instance ID
|Unique ID for every machine created for the instance, for example eb-ek73d-1, eb-ek73d-2.
|Service ID
|ID for the type of service deployed from the provider, for example eb-ek73d.
|User email
|Email of the user who deployed the instance.
|User ID
|A unique ID to identify the Cloud Application Manager user.
|Workspace ID
|Unique workspace ID where the instance was deployed.
|Workspace name
|Name of the workspace the instance was deployed from.
Applying Tags for Your Organization
Only Cloud Application Manager users in the administrator role can apply tags. Follow these steps to apply one.
From the menu drop-down on the top right, select Organizations > Your Org Name
Click Settings and scroll to the Tags section.
Click Add and enter a key and value for the tag.
- To enter a preset value, click the Custom Value drop-down to select one.
- To enter a custom value, simply type in the Custom Value field.
- Note: The maximum length is 125 characters for the key and 250 characters for the value. Tags that contain unicode non-ASCII characters (ex: +=*&!@#) are ignored. Such tags are not applied to the instance in Google Cloud and OpenStack.
When done, click Save to add the tag.
Note: At this time, you can't modify an existing tag, but you can remove and create another in its place. To remove a tag, go the Settings and under Tags, click (x) and the tick mark against it.
Reporting on Cloud Application Manager Tags
One of the chief benefits of tagging is that you can report and analyze how Cloud Application Manager resources are consumed throughout your organization. Currently, the reporting capabilities depend on what your cloud provider natively supports.
Refer to the following sections to view or manage the tags applied on a box instance launched in a specific cloud provider.
Reporting on AWS
In addition to preset and custom tags, Cloud Application Manager tags instances with CloudFormation labels. Tags currently don't apply to Elastic Block Store, and Virtual Private Cloud instances. To report on tagged instances deployed in AWS, see this article.
Log in to the AWS console as your IAM user.
Select the region where your instance is deployed.
Click Services > EC2 > Instances.
Select an instance and click the Tags tab to manage the applied tags.
Reporting on Google Cloud
Under projects, select the project where Cloud Application Manager instances are deployed.
Under Compute Engine, click VM instances and manage the tags applied under Custom metadata.
Reporting on OpenStack
Log in to your OpenStack dashboard.
Select the project to which Cloud Application Manager instances are deployed.
Under Instances, select the instance whose tags you want to view. The tags are listed under Meta.
Reporting on vSphere
Log in to your VMware vSphere thin client for vCenter 5.0 or later.
Locate the virtual machine launched through Cloud Application Manager in vSphere. Use the Service ID of the instance in Cloud Application Manager to find it.
Under Custom Fields, the tags applied to the instance are listed.
Reporting on CloudStack
Log in to your CloudStack management console.
Under Instances, select the instance launched through Cloud Application Manager. Use its Cloud Application Manager Service ID to find it.
In the instance Details tab, scroll down to see the tags applied.
Contacting Cloud Application Manager Support
We're sorry you're having an issue in Cloud Application Manager. Please review the troubleshooting tips, or contact Cloud Application Manager support with details and screenshots where possible.
For issues related to API calls, send the request body along with details related to the issue.
In the case of a box error, share the box in the workspace that your organization and Cloud Application Manager can access and attach the logs.
- Linux: SSH and locate the log at /var/log/elasticbox/elasticbox-agent.log
- Windows: RDP into the instance to locate the log at ProgramDataElasticBoxLogselasticbox-agent.log

Colombian fighter Jimmy Garcia died early Friday after doctors disconnected life support systems that had kept his heart beating for 13 days following his challenge for the WBC super featherweight title.
His death was not unexpected by the doctors or by Gabriel Ruelas, the fighter whose fists ended up killing him."I was just hoping for a miracle during the past few days," Ruelas said.
Ruelas was especially upset because he had promised to make someone pay for the weeks he spent training to fight Garcia on May 6.
Garcia ended up paying with his life.
"I regret saying that," Ruelas said of his comments in a prefight press conference. "I'm not a fighter who talks a lot. Unfortunately, what I said kind of turned out to be true."
Ruelas visited the unconscious fighter in the hospital and met with Garcia's family several times. After the first visit, he prepared himself for Garcia's death.
The decision to disconnect his ventilator came after doctors found no brain activity and called his family in to be with him in his last hours.
The 23-year-old Garcia became the second boxer to die from injuries suffered in a Las Vegas ring in the last year. His death came despite the presence of four ringside physicians, one of whom was a neurosurgeon who was operating on Garcia within 35 minutes of his collapse in the ring.
Nevada boxing officials said they would investigate the death and continue to study boxing-related injuries.
"I believe in my heart we did everything right but the boy still died," said Marc Ratner, executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission. "We've got to see if there was some stone unturned we can learn from."
At Cincinnati, former welterweight champion Aaron Pryor, who has battled drug addiction and other personal problems since his mid-1980s fall from boxing glory, was found guilty Friday of driving under the influence of an intoxicant.

I have to admit, when I started this blog, I felt a bit like Paul Revere, a lone voice warning of impending change and struggle. But slowly, more and more people have come to realize, that indeed publishing has been engaged in revolutionary change. A recent example is an article written by Carla King on the blog Media Shift. The title of the article, is actually the title to this blog post.
In her post, she gives ten reasons why 2010 was a turning point. Here are some of the key ones.
- Ease of technology attracts traditionally published authors to go indi
- The social graph makes conversations and recommendations easier
- Online communities and curation continue to grow
- Out-of-print titles continue to be revived, shared, and sold
- The single-purpose e-book reader phases out
- Transmedia "immersive" books and apps become more common
The full article is worth a read. The Revolution is happening.

Petr Brandejs, chair of the Czech Bluegrass Music Association, sends the following updates:
Preparations for the Banjo Jamboree festival in Caslav (June 18-19) are in full swing and keep the CzBMA busy. As usual, there will be workshops on all the bluegrass instruments + vocals (by Sue Thompson), an All Star Band (voted last year by the audience), 20+ bands including the Banjo Jamboree Contests Winners and more. This year for the first time, there will be a theatre for children, Capek's banjo auction and the Czech banjo legend Marko Cermak will be signing his new book and calendar.
Thanks to banjo maker Jarda Prucha, the Kruger Brothers performed again to a sold out hall in Prague on March 30th.
One of the finest bands in the country - Monogram - has a new CD out. It is called "Hit The Road", and there's a nice video on YouTube.
Rosta Capek put together a great concert in the prestigious venue Lucerna in Prague on April 18th. About 1'000 people attended the show which included also bluegrass acts Petr Brandejs Band, with a triple banjo arrangement of Dixie Breakdown or mandolin wizard Radim Zenkl. Previously announced Martino Coppo unfortunately got stuck in Italy due to the Icelandic volcano ash. All the money made was sent to the musical secondary school for blind students.
The new band Wind has just released its first CD "Bourani zdi" (Breaking down the walls).
Also the band Blackjack has a new CD out "That Old Book of Mine".
The current CzBMA Newsletter Bluegrassove listy features an extensive interview with Blackjack's banjo player Martin Kubec.

I've enable token based authentication (token_authenticatable) in devise in my rails app and it's working well. Now I'm making an android application that uses the web service provided by this rails app. It stores the devise auth_token after first login and uses it to make subsequent requests so that user does not have to log in later. The problem is that I get InvalidAuthenticityToken error when I call the update action from the android app. I don't want to make an extra call to the server to get the authenticity token or remove protect_from_forgery from the update action. Any suggestions?
Look into using stateless tokens. They should be just what you need. Rails. Devise and Stateless tokens.

Harsh winter is costing Wisconsin, and the state needs more money
MADISON (AP) — This year's harsh winter weather is causing the Wisconsin Department of Transportation to spend more than planned on plowing, salting and other expenses.
The department next week will ask the Legislature to approve spending $27.3 million more than anticipated for expenses related to the long winter.
The state contracts with counties to help maintain state highways in addition to county roads. Bills are still coming in from counties for work plowing and salting roads this winter. The department expects it will go over its original maintenance budget by about $16 million.
The other $11.3 million comes from the additional 160,000 tons of salt purchased mid-winter to account for the snow and cold, according to the Legislative Fiscal Bureau.
The money would come from a transportation revenue surplus.
