Your tummy is a mysterious thing. Temperamental. Sensitive.
This is old news if you've ever dealt with bloating, indigestion, heartburn, constipation, even brain fog or fatigue after consuming certain foods, due to the intimate interaction between your brain and your gut. Digestive issues not only disrupt your day, they can mess up your whole body. Your gastrointestinal tract and the bacteria therein affect your body's nutrient absorption, vitamin production, hormone regulation, immune response, detoxification systems, skin health and overall mental wellness. And the fact is, there are a vast array of gut assailants that can disrupt the delicate machinery that is your digestive system.
Clearly, taking care of your gastrointestinal tract should be a top priority.
If you abuse or neglect your gut, a part of your body that is in some ways more exposed to external compounds than your skin, you're setting yourself up for subpar performance in all areas of life. After all, the energy and nutrients you consume support every body system and a messed up gut means you're likely not absorbing all that you're putting into your body.
If you want to spend less time on the toilet, if you want to be done with embarrassing and uncomfortable gas and bloating, if you want to get rid of cravings and mood issues that seem closely related to food, you'll find answers to your questions here.
There are three common things that fly under the radar, but that contribute to a lot of the gut problems you might be wrestling with. You'll find out what they are here, and how to eliminate them. You'll also discover one proven, game-changing tip that will dramatically improve your digestion and gut health.
What Happens When Digestion Goes Awry
You're not alone if you think of your gut as one long, twisting garden hose that extends from your mouth to your butt. Heck, even the classic Gray's Anatomy – a go-to manual for every aspiring medical student – describes the gut as:
"A musculo-membranous tube, about thirty feet in length, extending from your mouth to the anus, and lined throughout its entire extent by mucous membrane."
But the truth is, the gut is way more complex than that makes it sound. For example, your gut is tied to your brain and mood. This is called the brain-gut connection. Dr. Jordan Rubin describes the relationship quite well in his book Patient, Heal Thyself:
"Early in our embryogenesis, a collection of tissue called the 'neural crest' appears and divides during fetal development. One part turns into the central nervous system, and the other migrates to become the enteric nervous system. Both 'thinking machines' form simultaneously and independently of one another until a later stage of development… Then the two nervous systems link through a neural cable called the 'vagus nerve,' the longest of all cranial nerves. The vagus nerve 'wanders' from the brain stem through the organs in the neck and thorax and finally terminates in the abdomen. This is your vital brain-gut connection."
This connection explains why:
- You get butterflies in your stomach before going on stage.
- You can get nervous or get stomach cramps before a hard workout or race.
- Antidepressants cause nausea and stomach upset, and stomach upset can depress you.
- Particular foods cause brain fog or sleepiness.
- Why food intolerances or gut inflammation can cause serious behavioral issues…
- Why overeating when you're anxious helps you produce extra "feel good" chemicals…
- And much more.
Poor gut health has been linked to many chronic bowel diseases, obesity, type 2 diabetes, immune dysregulation, mental health problems and much more.
From your mouth to your esophagus, gallbladder, stomach, small intestine, and colon, there are endless possibilities for what can go wrong inside your thirty-foot long tube.
3 Common Gut Issues & How To Fix Them
The world of gut problems is vast, so here you'll find three common causes of gut issues and the ways in which you can restore your gut health.
1) Bacterial Imbalances
Your gut is very much alive and crawling with critters: five hundred species, over 100 trillion cells and three pounds of bacteria in your digestive tract form a giant ecosystem often called the gut microbiome that helps digest food, regulate hormones, excrete toxins, and produce vitamins and other healing compounds that keep your gut and body healthy.
The problems arise when bacterial imbalances occur, the good bacteria are unable to flourish, and bad bacteria runs rampant. For example, there are chemicals that can be absorbed through your skin that will destroy your good bacteria. Triclosan is one example. It's used in a lot of common household items, like toothpaste, soap, detergent, even toys, and it's a known antimicrobial that will destroy your friendly bacteria. Prescribed antibiotics, as well as those found in factory farmed animals, can rapidly alter the gut bacteria and cause opportunistic pathogens to take over, leading to acute disease and long-term gut dysbiosis (imbalance).
The symptoms of a gut bacteria imbalance are vast and may include gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, frequent sickness, skin problems, brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, undigested food in stool, thyroid issues, autoimmune diseases, and so much more.
A three-day comprehensive stool panel allows you to determine the types of gut bacteria, yeast, fungus, and parasites living in your gut, and if you have digestive inflammation, all of which can then be used to determine the need for certain probiotics, treatments to eliminate things like small intestinal bacteria growth (SIBO) and Candida, whether you need to avoid fermentable substances such as simple sugars and starches, and more.
If you have symptoms like bloating, abdominal cramping, food intolerances, gas, diarrhea, and constipation, you might also have an overgrowth that a lot of physicians aren't even aware of. It's called SIBO, or "small intestine bacterial overgrowth". SIBO occurs when certain bacteria, which are normally found in your colon and large intestine, mobilize and move up towards your small intestine. Once established there, the bacteria feed on the food passing through your small intestine which can lead to poor nutrient absorption, particularly that of fat-soluble vitamins and iron. The feasting bacteria produce gases that contribute to SIBO symptoms like abdominal pain and bloating.
SIBO is often treated with antibiotics, but this treatment has a high recurrence rate and often with even worse symptoms. Fortunately, herbal remedies have been found to be equally as effective at treating SIBO as compared to the antibiotic rifaximin.
Oregano oil is one such herbal remedy often used in the treatment of SIBO and other conditions. It has potent antimicrobial and antifungal activity, including antifungal activity against Candida. Candida is a fungus that is normally present in the human body, but candida overgrowth poses several health issues and many of the same symptoms as SIBO. Berberine and grapefruit seed extract are two other potent, natural antimicrobial agents that are useful in the treatment of SIBO.
Other strategies to help combat SIBO include supplement support for low stomach acid such as betaine HCL, consuming digestive enzymes, and limiting fermentable carbohydrates such as fructose, lactose, and many grains and beans.
How do you find out if you have SIBO?
In addition to experiencing the symptoms listed above, when you have SIBO, you may actually react pretty poorly when you consume fermented foods such as sauerkraut and kombucha, and symptoms can even get worse from consuming probiotics. This is because you're adding more bacteria to a place already overgrown with bacteria that shouldn't' be there. This goes against the usual gut health advice, but this is a case in which probiotic bacteria may not be good for you. After SIBO clears up, then you can work on re-colonizing your gut flora.
You can also order an at-home breath test that measures the amount of gas produced by bacteria that indicates the presence of SIBO. A good one is the Quintron Breath Test at BreathTests.com.
2) Leaky Gut
It's exactly what it sounds like: holes get poked in the walls of the intestinal lining, allowing things to pass through it that shouldn't and don't in a healthy gut. When your digestive tract gets damaged and these bigger holes develop, undesirable things are let into the bloodstream like gluten and other proteins, bad bacteria, undigested food particles, and toxic waste. This can lead to chronic inflammation, nutrient malabsorption, food intolerances, autoimmunity, thyroid problems, gas and bloating.
Leaky gut can be caused by lectins found in grains, legumes and nuts, stress, high-intensity exercise, gut microbiome dysbiosis, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use, and much more.
But possibly the number one offender is a common component found on plants, wheat, soy, corn, anything that's been grown commercially and sprayed down. It's called glyphosate. It's used to kill weeds and insects. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. But once it winds up in your digestive tract, nothing's gonna stop it from doing what it does best: killing living tissue. And not only can it destroy your gastrointestinal lining, but it will also disrupt the microbiome of healthy bacteria living inside of you. So the next time you're thinking of getting a box of cereal, or a dozen donuts, maybe even "market fresh" fruits and veggies or meat from animals that have been fed on any of these things, think about where exactly it came from. That way, you know you're not taking the edible equivalent of a wrecking ball to your stomach.
To seal up a leaky gut, introduce compounds into your body that help the gut to heal, and be careful to avoid things that cause inflammation or punch holes in the lining of the digestive tract.
Add bone broth into your diet, whether homemade or purchased, to provide gut-healing gelatin, glycine, and glutamine, along with a whole host of other beneficial compounds. If you decide to make your own bone broth, go with the knuckle, patella, femur, or feet bones. Those bones contain the highest concentration of white and red stem-cell marrow, and the highest levels of collagen, one of bone broth's major benefits.
Glutamine is an amino acid that supports intestinal and whole body growth that is important for restoring and maintaining your intestinal barrier integrity. Your body is actually capable of producing it with one study suggesting that you can actually stimulate the natural, homeostatic release of glutamine from skeletal muscle to help repair the gut and restore immunologic responses to full capacity. However, the study also concluded that "severe injury or prolonged glutamine deficits do not adequately support intestinal recovery and allow this cycle to become self-perpetuating." Which means that you might need to turn to supplementation. The addition of glutamine to your diet will help prevent deterioration of gut permeability and preserve the mucosal structure, which is basically the lining of your gut.
Colostrum, which you'll find in raw milk or as a supplement, can also help. It's produced by all mammals (including humans) in the first few days after giving birth, which is why it's also known as "first milk". Essentially, what colostrum does is inhibit zonulin proteins from binding to what are called zonulin receptors in your intestinal cells. Once the proteins bind to the receptors, your intestinal wall loosens and opens up, so by preventing that, colostrum helps to prevent leaky gut. Colostrum also encourages the growth of probiotics so they may better colonize your gut, rather than pass right through your digestive tract.
The solution to leaky gut is fairly simple in theory, but patience and persistence are definitely necessary when healing the gut.
3) Natural Gut Irritants
A lot of plants have defense mechanisms. For example, one of the milkweed plant's defenses is to secrete a sort of latex that coats the head of any insect that happens to bite into a leaf's vein, drowning the unfortunate herbivore. But insects aren't the only ones that need to be careful around plants.
Take quinoa, a perfect example of a grain that is somewhat healthy, high in amino acids, and full of essential minerals. Quinoa is coated with what are called saponins. It's pretty much an indigestible soapy coating that helps protect the quinoa as it passes through a mammal's digestive tract so that it will be excreted intact and thus be spread and planted. It's also found on other products like soybeans. One study suggests that soya saponins may induce an inflammatory reaction in the intestine, and thus increase intestinal permeability. Another article, which studied four different saponins and their effects on intestinal nutrient transport, concluded that some saponins do increase intestinal permeability and thus inhibit normal active nutrient transport while facilitating the uptake of other materials that the gut would normally be impermeable to.
So what's a quinoa-lover to do? As already mentioned, quinoa does have health benefits, so if you want to get past the soapy covering, just put the quinoa in a strainer and rinse it with water, put it in a mason jar with more water, soak it overnight, wake up, pour out the water, rinse in a strainer again, and repeat. Perform this cycle of rinsing and soaking a few times, in the same way that our ancestors would have done it, and your quinoa will be far more digestible and leave you with fewer stomach problems.
The same can be said for fermenting wheat, dairy, and soy, or soaking and sprouting certain foods like legumes and lentils. All of these plants have built-in defense mechanisms, but humans are smarter than plants, so it's not an issue of avoiding things like legumes and beans and grains and quinoa, it's just a matter of treating them properly.
Caring For Your Gut
To make sure all of these unpleasantries don't happen to you, the most important thing to do is support a healthy, balanced gut microbiome by eating a wide variety of good bacteria. This includes fermented foods, kimchi, sauerkraut, kombucha, kefir, raw yogurts and milk, some cheeses, and plants grown in healthy soil. These foods should supplement a diet consisting of a wide variety of nutrient-dense foods (learn how to determine the perfect diet for you, here). It is best to avoid refined sugars and carbohydrates that feed the bad bacteria and limit pro-inflammatory vegetable oils like canola, corn, and soy oil.
Summary & A Quick Tip For Improving Digestion
Your gut wants to take care of you, but it's delicate, so you have to return the favor. Feed and support your digestive bacteria, pay attention to leaky gut issues, and be aware of hidden weaponry and armor of some of the otherwise healthy foods that you eat.
And finally, here's a simple tip for improving your digestion today:
For every meal that you eat, starting right now, chew every bite of food twenty-five times. Yes, twenty-five. Your mouth, like your stomach, is full of digestive enzymes like salivary alpha-amylase, so by taking your time and chewing properly, you're giving those enzymes the chance to do their job. This will also activate hormones that will make you feel fuller faster, stimulate hydrochloric acid to begin breaking down proteins, and much more. All sorts of cool things happen when you slow down and chew your food, including a deeper appreciation for what's supporting your wellness.

On Trend at Musket Island Resort
Fiji's oldest operating resort is undergoing a transformation, taking it to the next level in style and elegance. We met the locals and fell in love with this village within a village.June 13, 2018
Pacific Island LivingJune 13, 2018
Sunset Sensations
At four o'clock every afternoon the Island Bar at Musket Cove Island Resort puts on quite a show. Locals, visiting yachties, resort guests, guests from neighbouring resorts and even a few people from the mainland congregate on the bar stools as they wait for sunset.
This is no ordinary resort bar, in fact it doesn't feel like you're at a resort at all – and that's just the way the guests seem to like it.
The drinks are cheaper, the guests all seem to know each other and there are families standing around a barbie cooking dinner.
The pace of life is smooth and unhurried and again a community feel prevails. The staff will play beach volleyball with the guests, not because they have to, but because it's home to them too.
Of the resort's 55 rooms, over half have been renovated. The offerings range from beachfront adults-only fares with separate living rooms to family units with plunge pools.
The new pool area with private cabanas is gorgeous and uncrowded. In fact nothing at Musket is crowded – you can wander the island and hardly see another soul, right up until sunset of course, when the troops all gather at the Island Bar.
Musket Cove Island Resort caters to families and couples, groups and the passing yachties keen to stretch their legs and enjoy an air conditioned room for a while.
Whilst the neigbouring resorts attract schoolies, Musket attracts schooners. The private marina offers a launching point for unforgettable fishing, scuba diving, snorkelling, surfing and sailing excursions, while watersports like paddle boarding, kayaking, catamaran sailing and windsurfing await on the resort's beach.
Whether you've come to do everything or absolutely nothing at all, Musket Cove Island Resort & Marina offers an authentic Fiji holiday experience. It is a village within a village and you'll leave feeling part of the family.
Twice daily connections are available from Denarau on the Malolo Cat or seaplane transfers can be arranged from Nadi International Airport.

Fish as major carbonate mud producers and missing components of the tropical carbonate factory
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Carbonate mud is a major constituent of recent marine carbonate sediments and of ancient limestones, which contain unique records of changes in ocean chemistry and climate shifts in the geological past. However, the origin of carbonate mud is controversial and often problematic to resolve. Here we show that tropical marine fish produce and excrete various forms of precipitated (nonskeletal) calcium carbonate from their guts ("low" and "high" Mg-calcite and aragonite), but that very fine-grained (mostly <2 μm) high Mg-calcite crystallites (i.e., >4 mole % MgCO3) are their dominant excretory product. Crystallites from fish are morphologically diverse and species-specific, but all are unique relative to previously known biogenic and abiotic sources of carbonate within open marine systems. Using site specific fish biomass and carbonate excretion rate data we estimate that fish produce ~6.1 x 106 kg CaCO3/year across the Bahamian archipelago, all as mud-grade (the <63 μm fraction) carbonate and thus as a potential sediment constituent. Estimated contributions from fish to total carbonate mud production average ~14% overall, and exceed 70% in specific habitats. Critically, we also document the widespread presence of these distinctive fish-derived carbonates in the finest sediment fractions from all habitat types in the Bahamas, demonstrating that these carbonates have direct relevance to contemporary carbonate sediment budgets. Fish thus represent a hitherto unrecognized but significant source of fine-grained carbonate sediment, the discovery of which has direct application to the conceptual ideas of how marine carbonate factories function both today and in the past.

Arsene Wenger has called on his troops to draw on their experience in the recent north London derby to help them in their attempt to pull off a huge Champions League upset against Milan.
Trailing 4-0 after the first leg at the San Siro, the Gunners are rated as 20/1 shots to make it past the Italian giants and into the Champions League quarter-finals.
Although pulling this off would represent something of a minor miracle, Wenger says he will instruct his side to give it a go and believes their game against Tottenham is evidence that the feat can be achieved.
The Gunners scored five unanswered goals after going two behind against their bitter rivals and the Frenchman is confident that this fighting spirit will once against be in evidence at the Emirates on Tuesday.
Although the Rossoneri are 1/100 to progress to the next round, 12 goals for Arsenal in their last two home matches suggests the Gunners can at least make things difficult for Massimiliano Allegri's men.
"We want to have a real go," he said.
"The best way is to ignore the first game and do what we did against Tottenham. We were 2-0 down and just kept going because we wanted to win."
However, Wenger admits that his side is are also faced with another problem: keeping Milan out at the other end.
Just a single goal for the reigning Italian champions would leave Arsenal needing six.
A win to nil for Arsenal is priced at 11/4, while the 4-0, 5-0 or 6-0 scoreline needed to either take the game to extra time to ensure the Gunners' progression is priced at 25/1.
This means that new customers to bwin using the £25 free bet they can claim for opening a new account can win £650 if Arsenal win 4-0, 5-0 or 6-0.
Meanwhile, a win on the night for Arsenal by any score is priced at 11/10 in bwin's 3Way football betting market, with the draw at 27/10 and an AC Milan success at 21/10.
And although the Rossoneri are 1/100 to progress to the next round, 12 goals for Arsenal in their last two home matches suggests the Gunners can at least make things difficult for Massimiliano Allegri's men.
"I know my players well. I know they've been hurt by the first result and I know they will have their pride and they'll come out tomorrow to give a different performance," Wenger commented.
"If they can score four we can do it as well. Why not?"

It has made a huge difference to my life and my business
Walk into Bev Parris's back garden in rural Devon, past her raised flower beds and it quickly becomes clear what she does for a living.
Tucked away in a smart solid log garden building is a fully kitted out hair salon. Not your average find amongst herbaceous perennials but one that has transformed how Bev lives and works.
As a young Mum and trained hairdresser, Bev had always dreamed of owning her own salon. When she had her first child, she found she was spending most of her earnings, from renting a chair in a local salon, on childcare. She also deeply resented the time spent away from her baby son. Many in her position decide to work freelance but find themselves washing clients' hair in kitchens, not something she wanted to do.
"We live in a remote village and have quite a big garden so it made sense to look at a garden building to house a home salon. My brother lives in a log cabin built by Norwegian Log Buildings, so I know how good they are. We drove up to Reading to see the company's display buildings, walked into one of them and knew straight away it was what we wanted. They look and feel so smart," explained Bev.
Once ordered, the contemporary style 3m x 4m garden building took just four days to erect on site. Now kitted out with two comfortable cutting chairs and mirrored work stations, a backwash basin for hair washing and a colour bar, the salon is a hairdressing oasis. It even boasts its own coffee bar. Clients can relax looking out through the bi-fold doors into Bev's back garden and the fields beyond, and the rural location means there's loads of space for them to park.
"It has made a huge difference to my life, especially having a little one. I can work but he knows Mummy is still at home. I can put my washing out when I want to. When my son goes to bed, I can nip across the garden and cut clients' hair in the evenings. I can also shut the door on it when I'm finished and I'm not having to travel to work by car every day," said Bev. Despite only advertising locally, she already has a full client list. "I'm able to run my business more efficiently. My overheads aren't so high and it won't be long before I'm able to pay back the cost of the building and kitting it out with equipment."
The grey-hued solid log building with sloping roof fits well into the landscape. "Our house is a white thatched cottage and the building blends so nicely with it. All my neighbours love it," added Bev.
Fitting then that the name of Bev's new business is – Bev Hair Design in the Garden Room. You can't top that.

Dubai: Many residents have already started enjoying their summer holiday, and are flying off to exotic destinations to enjoy the cool weather abroad.
Dubai's ruling Al Maktoum family are also revelling in some down-time, with the holiday snaps trending on UAE social networking sites.
His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, spent a quiet time at the Danish archipelago of the Faroe Islands.
Tucked between Iceland and Norway in the North Atlantic Ocean, the Faroe Islands comprises of 18 rocky, volcanic islands, and is a haven for hikers and birdwatchers.
Shaikh Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, posted a photo of Shaikh Mohammad on his official Instagram account with the caption: "Solitude helps you enjoy a better taste for life."
Shaikh Hamdan also posted stunning views of the remote islands, which has a population of about 50,000.

Biking through Sonoma County takes you through scenic vineyards. (Photo: Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images )
Sonoma County, California, is often likened to the wine country of Napa County decades ago: Lush valleys hold vineyards tucked away off of the main roads and friendly small-batch winemakers eagerly chat with visitors over glasses of wine. But Sonoma County is its own destination, marching to an unhurried, nature-focused beat. In keeping with eco-friendly ideals, many local bike shops and tour operators offer winery bike tours.
Sonoma County lies west of the Napa Valley to the stunning cliffs of the Sonoma Coast State Park on the Pacific Ocean. Most winery bike tours focus on the largely flat country valley roads that run through the famous wine-growing regions of the Alexander, Dry Creek and Russian River valleys. Experienced bikers looking for more of a challenge can add optional routes along the coast or choose a tour provider that visits hillside vineyards, such as the Gary Farrell winery that has a steep uphill climb to its tasting room.
A typical one-day itinerary begins in mid-morning. Due to fog and breezes coming off the coast, the early morning hours are usually much cooler than the daytime high temperatures. You'll visit two to three wineries in the morning before settling in for a lunch break. Sonoma County's farmland provides ample locally-produced produce, meats and cheeses, which many tour operators assemble into a picnic lunch designed to pair with local wines. In the afternoon, tours will typically visit one to two more wineries. Weekend-long tours include options for an extra-long ride in the afternoon and evening group dinners at a prominent winery or Sonoma County restaurant, such as Vineyards Inn (vineyardsinn.com) or Girl and the Fig (thegirlandthefig.com).
Guides provide cyclists with background information on the natural and geological features of the ride, as well as the local wines and wineries. Tour operators often gain entrance to wineries that are typically closed to public visitors and to private evening events at local wineries. Go Sojourn's (gosojourn.com) Sonoma Wine Country Vacation, includes a private winemaker dinner. Guests on one-day tours, such as Sonoma Wine Tours' (sonomawinetours.net) winery bike tour that begins in the town of Healdsburg, typically pay tasting fees separately from their tour fee.
If you are on a budget, prefer to visit specific wineries of your own choosing or set your own schedule, consider a self-guided winery bike tour. Rent a bike at Goodtimes Bicycles (goodtimetouring.com), Sonoma Valley Cyclery (sonomacyclery.com) or Wine Country Bikes (winecountrybikes.com). Ride Highway 12 to the town of Sonoma, Westside Road in Healdsburg or the Russian River Wine Road, each lined with numerous wineries. The book "Wine Country Bike Rides: The Best Tours in Sonoma, Napa, and Medocino Counties" recommends 10 rides in the Sonoma, Dry Creek, Russian River and Alexander Valley areas, and includes detailed route information covering wineries, cafes and bike-related services.

Flatbed truck and car abandoned.
Reported in the Abandoned vehicles category anonymously at 11:00, Sat 2 June 2018
Sent to Kingston upon Thames Borough Council 5 minutes later
Truck with old scrap car and flat tyres stored for months (3 months!) under the bridge, the other similar vehicle has been removed but this one remains. It needs removing by the Council forcefully. Its scrap, flat tyres and is making the area look like a dumping ground. There is too many white vans and trucks in this area that spill over into residential areas. And residents that have vans/lorries thinking that they can pile them up in the streets where people live. Abide by the rules and by-laws people. And RBK do your job, or I will but a series of scrap vehicles and park them outside your offices!
Slow, ignored. I bet if that had been parked in Kingston centre it would have been removed by now. Its an eyesore. Tyres are now flat, its right under the bridge outside the station... why? and why let it continue????

The Voter's Viewpoint Since the early days of the republic, it lias jihvuysi been thi> milionM political campaign thai lias drawn most of the average American':; attention. Local campaigns come anil L'O—al- most unnoticed, suinotimcs. Time after time, an Aincrlam city will ulce.1 n mayor ami a city council wilb more than half of the (|iiitlifie<l voters failiiiK tq iro to the noils. It is hard to yet the voters out except in national campaigns. Yet the simpli) fact is that the average voter has R far greater financial stake in his city and state elections than he does in the presidential and senatorial contests. Here is a little example that illustrates the case. A perfectly ordinary American householder made his animal federal income tax payment recently. After he had made all of his authorized deductions, lie found that he owed the federal treasury slightly less than one dollar. He paid it and went his way rejoicing. Now this same American owns a house in a middle western city. Twice a year lie is compiled to pay taxes on this properly for the support of his city, county and state governments. These taxes average close to $250 a year, and he pays them with an uncomplaining fatalism. Compare the two tax burdens that this man carries. To the federal government h; pays loss than a dollar a year. To his local governments he pays more than 250 times that much. Yet this man—a fair specimen of Hi: American electorate—seldom bothers to vote except in a • national election. He follows national politics keenly. He can tell you all about President Hoover's record as president; he can describe the leading candidates for the Democratic nomination in 1932, and he can tell you fairly accurately what the senators from his state and the congressman from hi; district have been doing in Washington in the past I wo'years. But he can hardly tell you anything about the men who run his state and city governments. Ho could not name half of the members of his city council if his life depended on it. He can name the governor of his state, but he has no idea whether this official is providing an economical and honest administration. He could not possibly tell you who the state representatives ami senators from his district are, or what sort of public servants they are. He pays 250 limes as much to sup- ixnl these governments as iie does to snp|K>rl the federal government—but he knows next to nothing about them. As a result, lie will continue to pay 250 times as much for a long time to come.—Bruce Gallon. Misrepresentation The most dastardly and dishonest piece of IcBlslallon was the killing of the rcapporiion- mcnl bill introduced by Nelson In (he senate and Whcatley In the house. Alexander 'would not Introduce the bill In the house, after prom- isinu our people Insl summer he would do so. Mr. Nelson was forced to call on a memljc-r train nn adjoining county to assist him in genius; tor Mississippi county what rightfully belongs lo it.

This hill would have Given us an equal slime of this money. Mr. Alexander, who was In a Little Rock hospital nl the time the bill came before the house for action, had himself brought into ihe legislative halls In a wheeled chair nnrt moved nntl pl:a:l with his colleagues to table the bill. This was clone, and for the next two years the whole or the Chickasawba district, Including Heal town- shipfi the second largest In the county, will contribute one cent on each gallon of Gasoline used 1 lo build county, roads on I.ce Wilson's lands and in the Osceolu district. We ask you In all lalr- ness Is this justice? And Alexander did It. We think Sam Hodges, In his Osccola Times last week, showed poor judgment when he. 3Dt up such n crow over his victory. H will be short- lived, for It only hastens the day when Osceola will no longer bo a county sent and we will have only one—and (hat one will be Blythevllle. Then there wns (he salary bill, which if parsed would have saved the taxpayers of Mhsii-sippl county thousands of dollars yearly. This is the second time Alexander has killed this bill, in both of the last two legislatures Mr. Nelson has introduced tills' bill to save the taxpayers money. Last summer Alexander promised 10 have nils bill parsed. He did exactly what was done nt the 192S session—pocketed the bill and kept it from passing. Whoso Interests was Alexander serving? Evidently not-the majority of the people who elected him. * * * H Alexnntler wants the people of Mississippi county (o know why lie Imd to be wheeled into (lie house In a chair lo kill the "turnback" one cent gas (ax The Slnr has the story from first hands and is ready to print It ivllli his consent. The Slur warned the voters ot Mississippi county last summer as lo what they could ex- prct if Alexander was re-elected onr representative. He has continually bctrnycd the people of Ihis county and will con'.lnue to betray you as lung as IIP remains In the legislature, ucnlly, we have no sympathy for Blythcville.

After being diagnosed with stage 3 Testicular Cancer that spread to my lymph nodes (because I put off going to the doctor), I got inspired. Two years ago, I created a campaign that received worldwide attention - I pushed a giant inflatable testicle across 2 countries and over 8,000 miles to raise awareness for this cancer. Yes, you heard that right, a giant NUT!
I wanted men to be ballsy by talking about their health and to stop ignoring it because they're too proud/shy/embarrassed (you fill in the blanks). And I definitely got people talking! This amazing journey has made me recognized globally and quoted as one of the most outspoken voices in Testicular Cancer awareness in the world. I have gained hundreds of hours of media coverage for this worthy cause. But best of all, I met amazing people who I inspired to be ballsy about their health and who also inspired me.
Look out for my film documenting this amazing experience this year! My mission is to inspire them to live well physically and mentally. Often times, after men seek physical treatment for their issues, they ignore their mental health. 50% of what I do is talk to men about mentally preparing for a diagnosis and helping them wrap their heads around recovery from a diagnosis. Mindset is key - healthy mind equals healthy body.
I have an awareness COMIC coming out this November, and a Documentary in 2018. I am so glad to be a part of a great summit like this because it brings together people from all over the world that share one thing - cancer. It's a great way to connect , educate and learn. The TC community is a family and a bond like no other, I have built relationships with a lot of people attending and speaking that I've known for years and am so excited to finally meet. That is why events like these are important.

October 15, 2015 Poetic Trespass Book Talk at U Penn
Poetic Trespass: Writing between Hebrew and Arabic in Israel/Palestine
Thursday, October 15, 2015 - 5:30pm - 6:45pm
Annenberg School for Communication Room 111, 3620 Walnut Street
Lital Levy, Associate Professor, Comparative Literature, Princeton University
Blending history and literature, Lital Levy's award-winning book Poetic Trespass traces the interwoven lives of Arabic and Hebrew in Israel/Palestine from the turn of the twentieth century to the present, as expressed in prose, poetry, film, and visual art. It delves into the intimate entanglement of the two languages in the work of Jewish and Palestinian authors who, defying intense political and social pressures, choose to write in the language of the Other or to rewrite their own language from within. In this talk, Levy discusses the "presence of absence" as a shared trope of recent Palestinian and Jewish-Israeli discourses, with an emphasis on writings of Mahmoud Darwish, Almog Behar, and Ayman Sikseck.

Steph painted her first mural in 2000. Her work ranges in scale from 2 metres square to over 25 feet long and 9 feet high and have been painted on a variety of indoor and outdoor surfaces from canvas to rough brickwork.
Steph has collaborated with schools, wildlife visitor centres and private individuals to create this body of work. She often combines the production of the finished piece with workshops for both adults and children.
Arthog Outdoor Education Centre 6.5 x 1.8 metres
This painting was commissioned by Arthog Outdoor Education Centre. The brief was to represent the activities that the children take part in at the site, as well as the local scenery and wildlife.
The theme of the design is based around the idea of journeys. The journey that the children make from their homes in Telford to the centre in Snowdonia, represented by the rolling maps. The journeys they make whilst at the centre, represented by the changing landscapes. And the personal journey they make in self-development through learning how to work with each other as a team, how to support each other in taking on new challenges and experiences and letting their confidence grow.The phrase 'Discover, Inspire, Achieve' is the existing motto of the Arthog centre.
Primary School Gym
This mural was painted in 2013 in Barugh Green Primary School's Gym / Dining Room. The brief was to encourage a healthy lifestyle by showing how the school promotes exercise and healthy food choices.Steph is in the photograph to demonstrate the scale of the work.
Jungle Corridor 7.6 x 2.7 metres
This was painted along a school corridoor. It was created in conjunction with a series of drawing workshops and talks with school children about the worlds rainforests and part funded an environmental research trip to Sulawesi Indonesia.
School Entrance 2.5 x 5 metres
An entrance piece for Barugh Green Primary school showing the highlights of the local area.
Dolphin 0.5 x 3 metres
This mural is really an illustation to accompany an audio recording of a children's story. The painting forms part of the wildlife interpretation at 'The Boat Place', a dolphin information centre in New Quay West Wales.
Library 1.5 x 6 metres
The children's library in a primary school. The painting illustrates the topics of the books on the shelves below and highlights the diversity of the topics available

Hi there! Today I'm sharing a card set that was inspired by an awesome technique the fabulous Lisa Spangler showed awhile back.
Lisa shows how to create a super cool background with watercolors – basically, you cover a piece of watercolor cardstock with water, and then add stripes of watercolor. While still wet, use a comb to run the colors together. It makes for such a fun background! For a visual, watch Lisa's tutorial HERE.
One of the things I love about this technique is that I was able to use some watercolor scraps I had that already had a little bit of watercolor/stamping on them.
For both cards, I used the Hero Arts Strawberry, Purple and Dandelion watercolors.
Deer Friend Deets
For this first card, I stamped an adorable deer from Oh Deer by Ellen Hutson and heat embossed in white. I've been wanting to play with this stamp set forever, and I finally splurged a few weeks ago. Love the quirky look!
I stamped the sentiment below in black, and then made glittery border by heat embossing some gold sparkle embossing powder.
Notice the little leaves in this background? From a scrap I had in making THIS card over two years ago! I really hold on to some paper scraps. 😉
Anniversary Giraffes Deets
With this background, I covered it in some clear Sparkle embossing powder since I wasn't quite sure if I liked it or not, and sparkles are my first solution to every card problem. 😉
The background is topped off with some gold heat embossed giraffes I had from working on the last Hero Arts Valentine catalog release. Love using up my scraps! A tiny thread bow tops off the giraffes.
A sentiment, from Many Everyday Messages, was stamped in Soft Purple, and the card topped off with a strip of gold reflective paper.
Thanks so much for stopping in and God bless!

The research group Fiocruz announced it will investigate a recent miscarriage that occurred after the mother contracted Zika. It could be the first miscarriage in Rio de Janeiro caused by the virus.
The woman "had a normal pregnancy," but she contracted Zika in her sixth month. The doctor scheduled delivery for the following week, but she "underwent surgery to remove the fetus" on Tuesday. The baby passed away ten days ago.
An autopsy will reveal if the virus killed the baby.
Doctors performed an ultrasound on December 25 at 33 weeks. They did not find any abnormalities in the skull and thought the baby was well.
American doctors discovered the Zika virus in the placentas of two women who contracted the virus. They suffered miscarriages after they returned to the states.
STAT reported three women suffered miscarriages; the CDC confirmed Zika in two of their placentas. Researchers said the miscarriages occurred in the early stages of the pregnancy, but did not provide further details.
Other doctors have discovered Zika in the tissue of infants who died from microcephaly, a rare birth defect that occurs when the brain does not form properly during the pregnancy or after birth. It results in a small head for the child.
"This is the strongest evidence to date that Zika is the cause of microcephaly," explained CDC Director Tom Frieden. "Zika is new, and new diseases can be scary, particularly when they can affect the most vulnerable among us."
Frieden stopped short of claiming Zika caused the microcephaly. He said scientists need to perform more tests to confirm an actual link.
The CDC stated the disorder is typically uncommon. Following the Zika outbreak, however, Brazil has documented more than 4,000 cases and is diagnosing an average of 200 cases a week. In 2015, the country tracked an excess of 2,400 cases, compared to 147 in 2014.
Doctors reported 404 cases of microcephaly in newborns since November. They tied seventeen "to the Zika virus." Fifteen of the 404 passed away, "with five linked to Zika." Authorities are investigating 56 other deaths and 3,670 cases.
Brazilian authorities also found Zika in three people who died last year. Reuters reports:
The ministry said Brazilian researchers found the virus in the body of a 20-year-old woman in the northeastern state of Rio Grande do Norte, who died last April from respiratory problems. Two other patients last year also died from complications while they were infected with the virus.
Castro said the deaths possibly illustrated "comorbidity" caused by the virus and complications it may have caused in the patients. The woman's respiratory problems were likely "associated with the infection," he said.

So a month ago, I decided to do a fun little video right when the model leaves the shoot. I felt that after a shoot the vibe and relationship between a model and photographer are a lot more relaxed than at the very beginning. So these videos are just to showcase a fun time. It was meant to be a one time thing to post on Instagram, but they seemed to have grown to something I have done after every shoot. Here are the videos I have so far. Look forward to more in the coming weeks. : )

Here at The Amazing Blog we are all big perfume lovers and we are always adding new fragrances to our wish lists. All of us had tried out the typical sprays and roller ball applicators, but when we heard about Le Soft Perfume and their solid perfume stick collection, Le Petit Fou, we simply had to give one a go.
Le Soft Perfume is designed to be the perfect on-the-go perfume. It is a roll-up stick, which consists of a balm formula infused with fragrance. We chose to try out 'Nemamiah', which has a soft, citrus and bergamot scent. First of all, the packaging is lovely, it features a little cherub on the container. Each fragrance has a different patterned packaging so we think these would look great on display.
I found applying the perfume wonderful because it is soft and the formula really moisturises the skin. Le soft Perfume suggests that you can put the fragrance anywhere on your body that you like, from your neck to the back of your knees. 'Nemamiah' is a very feminine perfume, the scent is citrus based and very sophisticated and womanly. I really love it, and think it would work well for both the warmer and cooler months; day and evening wear. The packaging and formula of the product makes it the perfect travel companion, as you can even take it on a plane and it is not a fragile glass bottle!
Le Soft Perfume,'Le Petit Fou', is available in a huge variety of scents, from sweet and light to spicy and dark. If you want to get your hands on one (or a few) of these great solid perfumes, visit the Cult Beauty website, where you can purchase them for £19 each.

Bowsette, huh?
So if you've been on the internet at all these past few days you've probably caught at least a glimpse of this…
The infamous Bowsette!
Now for the somehow uninitiated (who are you and why are you reading this?), here's a quick run-down.
In a Nintendo Direct Announcement for Super Marios Bros. U Deluxe, there was a new item revealed for the character Toadette.
The item, a supercrown, turned Toadette into Peachette. The internet, however, saw this and thought that a similar effect on other characters. And with ayyk92's comic featuring the transformation, it all began (or it was all over, depending on your view.
This article, sadly (or hopefully) is NOT about the "lore" of Bowsette or its broad cultural impact. I probably could write a piece about Bowsette's identity as a trans woman or how the mainstream "American internet" discovered moe personification. However, these articles are for game designers and game development and the like.
So I want to shed a light on Shigeru Miyamoto.
Shigeru Miyamoto (宮本 茂), a world-famous developer at Nintendo who was crucial to the design and creation of Mario, Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda and basically my childhood. It is interesting to ponder how exactly that this artist would react to this kind of fan art.
Most forums online that give any thought to this tend to think that he has probably reacted poorly. (Very humorously, but definitely NOT a fan)
This image and others are interesting because it presents a widespread understanding of something that I think a lot of artists (especially new artists) overlook when presenting their work to a large audience.
The consumers and producers of art WILL perceive the work differently.
And this difference may be to the author's chagrin.
As of writing this, we have no idea how Miyamoto or anyone who has worked on Mario of Mario Bros U feels about Peachette.
The character is often depicted in sexual situations and is rather provocatively portrayed. Throw this with the Mario franchise being a decidedly unsexy, kid-friendly brand that has built up trust with families and it's a smart move not to comment on a trend that is literally producing porn of your G-rated characters.
However, Miyamoto is reacting, Bowsette isn't exactly bad for business. Nintendo's stock shot up 2 points after the trend occurred. This is more than when Nintendo aired their last Direct earlier in the month.
We live in a time where Nintendo stock jumps from 44.64 to 46.61 immediately after #Bowsette blew up.— AtlasOne (@TheAtlasOne) September 24, 2018
That's more than it jumped up after the last Nintendo Direct. I can't even believe this is a real thing. It's also the #1 trend on twitter in Japan. pic.twitter.com/WUiEE7GUxu
Even if this is Miyamoto's worst nightmare, it might just be a fair trade.

Instrumental Jazz groups that perform at the annual Illinois Music Education Conference (IMEC) include the Honors Jazz Band, the Honors Jazz Combo (8 or 9 students, one per instrument), and the All-State Jazz Band. All students selected to all-state in the instrumental jazz category will be a part of an audition process that takes place in Peoria, on the Thursday morning of the conference, from 9:00am until 12:00pm.
All-State auditions will follow the district audition process including all three excerpts of the required piece as published on the website each year, sight reading, and improvisation using Billie's Bounce chord changes. In addition, improvisation over Bb rhythm changes-fast tempo using the Jamey Aebersold Book, # 47, Track # 13 are required for students that wish to be considered for the Honors Jazz Combo. This is an optional portion of the audition and left to the discretion of the student who will inform the room monitor prior to the audition.
Jazz Wind Players (saxophone, trumpet and trombone) will complete the audition process during an assigned interval of time in your designated audition room. A track will be played out loud for the improvisation part(s) of the audition. Students will be given 30 seconds to review the sight reading material before performing it
Jazz Rhythm Section Players (piano, guitar, vibes, bass and drum set) will complete the audition process in two segments. The first segment, scheduled between 9:00am – 10:30am will consist of the required excerpts, and sight reading. You will then be assigned to one of five quartets to complete the second segment of the audition which includes improvisation in a live setting (not the pre-recorded tracks), and rhythmic stability while comping during the improvisation for the others in your quartet. Drum set players will also be required to demonstrate style patterns (same as district auditions) but the improvisation section will be trading "fours" with the other members of your quartet.
Guitar, Bass and Vibe students are responsible for bringing your own instruments and amplifiers. Upright pianos and Yamaha Drum Sets will be provided (5 piece kit with hardware). Drum set players will need to bring your own cymbals and if preferred, a personal bass drum pedal and/or snare drum.
All students, please be aware of your audition time and arrive to your assigned room early. The warm-up areas are available to instrumental jazz students during the 30 minutes prior to your assigned audition time.
