If you can not find the answer to your questions here, call our Technical Assistance Center at 1-800-452-2288.
Q. What kind of equipment is needed for Mid-Rivers High-Speed Internet Access?
A. An Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) installed in your computer or a USB adapter, and a modem, which will be provided by Mid-Rivers.
Q. Can I hook my Local Area Network up to Mid-Rivers High-Speed Internet Access?
A. Yes, but you may need some additional equipment, such as a router/gateway device. This equipment will function correctly if it can be configured as a DHCP CLIENT. While the brand of this equipment is insignificant, any device directly connected to Mid-Rivers Internet service must be configured as a DHCP CLIENT. View local area network equipment examples, or let us set up your network for you.
Q. I have one computer connected to my Fiber or DSL modem, can I add more computers to that connection?
A. Yes - make the hardware changes referenced above and then call Mid-Rivers to make the required configuration changes to your Fiber or DSL account (free of charge).
Q. Can I give a device attached to a DSL modem a static IP address?
A. No, any device attached to a high-speed modem has to be capable of being configured through DHCP. However, the address of that device will not change, so to the rest of the world it will appear to have a static IP address. This type of IP address is sometimes called a "persistent" IP address.
Q. Can I give a device attached to a cable modem a static IP address?
A. Yes, but there will be a small additional monthly charge. For ease of configuration, we recommend this device be setup through DHCP, even though the IP address will not change. This type of IP address is sometimes called a "persistent" IP address.
Q. How do I power cycle my High Speed Internet equipment?
A. There are certain times, such as after a power outage, when you may experience a problem connecting to the Internet via your high-speed connection (DSL, cable modem, etc.). In this case, you may need to power cycle (sometimes referred to as "reboot") your system to get it to function properly again. Follow these steps to properly power cycle your computer system and high-speed Internet modem:
1. Shutdown your computer as you normally would. You will need to do a complete shutdown of the computer and not just a restart.
2. Unplug your router from the electrical outlet. All the lights should go out on the router.
3. Unplug your modem from the electrical outlet. All lights should go out on the modem.
4. Wait about 15 seconds and then turn on the modem with the power switch or by plugging it back into the electrical outlet. Give the modem a minute to startup and connect to the network.
5. Turn on the router with the power switch or by plugging it back into the electrical outlet. Give the router a minute to startup and connect to the network.
6. Finally, turn your computer on and allow it to fully boot up. You should now be able to re-establish your Internet connection.
If you continue to have problems with your Internet connection, please call our 24-hour Technical Assistance Center at 1-800-452-2288.

175+ Volunteers Expected for Earth Day Clean Up around Downtown Syracuse and University Hill Neighborhoods
Saturday, April 25, 2015
Syracuse, NY - More than 175 volunteers have signed up to help give Downtown Syracuse and University Hill a spring cleaning. Keeping with Earth Day tradition, the Downtown Committee is partnering with the City of Syracuse's Clean Up Cuse effort to make sure the gateways to the center of the city are ready for new life to welcome spring.
Throughout the morning of Saturday, April 25, volunteers will meet Downtown Committee staff at five different locations spread across Downtown Syracuse and University Hill. All volunteers will be provided with gloves, trash bags and a free green t-shirt. Everyone is welcome to participate, even if they didn't pre-register. Last year, a record 200 volunteers filled more than 400 garbage bags.
"Our Earth Day Clean Up is one of our biggest volunteer events that we hold each year. We always look forward to it," said Merike Treier, executive director of the Downtown Committee of Syracuse. "Our crew does a great job working to beautify the core of Downtown Syracuse every day, but we love it when our volunteers, their families and kids get involved. It's amazing what can be accomplished in just a couple of hours."
Upon meeting at their designated locations, volunteers will also receive breakfast treats. New this year, Peppino's will deliver free breakfast pizza to select locations. As always, volunteers who wish to stay for lunch will be treated to lunch provided by the Downtown Committee through partnerships with J. Ryan's Pub (at 253 East Water Street in Downtown Syracuse), and Varsity Pizza (at 802 South Crouse Avenue in Syracuse).

Feminists analyse flaws in the arguments made in support of Tarun Tejpal in media and social networks by those who have illegally watched sub judicial CCTV footage
By Team FI
Two well known feminists, Vrinda Grover and Kavita Krishnan have responded to an ongoing campaign in media and social networks that is seeking to malign the survivor in the Tarun Tejpal rape case.
Tarun Tejpal, who was the editor of Tehelka magazine, is alleged to have sexually assaulted his junior journalist in a lift in a Goa Hotel. The past few days have seen subtle and direct statements that seek support for Tejpal based on the CCTV footage of the survivor and Tejpal outside the lift. While senior journalists Manu Joseph and Seema Mustafa wrote articles dissecting the incident in favour of the accused, well known film maker Anurag Kashyap accused the survivor of not telling the truth – they all were basing their opinions on the CCTV footage they saw. The campaign coincides with a bail application made to the Supreme Court.
By Vrinda Grover
The CCTV footage has been shown to many carefully identified and selected persons in the media and influential and powerful persons, by family and close coterie of friends of Tarun Tejpal. This is in violation of the law and the order of the court. Yes, the family has a right to defend Tarun Tejpal, but not by committing unlawful and illegal acts.
The young woman journalist does not have a copy of the CCTV footage. Only the Prosecution and the defence have copies. I have not seen the CCTV footage. No one who has taken a public or private position asking for justice for the young woman journalist and asked for a fair trial, not prejudiced or overawed by the campaign conducted by Tarun Tejpal gang, has seen the CCTV footage. We are not supposed to see that footage because it reveals the identity of the woman journalist. That is the law. Can we leave some decisions to the court or do the English writing glitterati want to usurp the role of the Court, much like the khap panchayats.
Yes, we must debate issues and cases of public importance. I do not support a gag order of any kind. Not even the one imposed by the Delhi High Court in favour of the former Supreme Court Judge in the case of the law intern.
The entire campaign hinges on the 'young woman's character', which when decoded means the same old thing, her past sexual relationships
On each occasion the friends and family of Tarun Tejpal have orchestrated a media campaign against the young woman journalist. Please note, the modern day, English speaking or rather writing, khap panchayats have ruled in favor of Tarun Tejpal on precisely the same grounds. The woman complainant appears 'normal', it must be consensual. Bingo!
What is the "reasonable conduct" of a survivor of rape or sexual assault or sexual harassment or sexual abuse? Jurisprudence in India will have to be engendered, to understand and comprehend this.
Is it a coincidence that these articles appear at a juncture when a bail petition will be moved for Tarun Tejpal in the Supreme Court? I firmly believe that under-trials have a right to bail. However, the jails are overcrowded with an under-trial population that is disproportionately POOR. Where the accused persons can threaten witnesses, or tamper with evidence or use their position to cause prejudice to a fair trial, their liberty is constrained through denial of bail. We do not have a witness-victim protection mechanism that offers any real security to the complainants and so at times bail should be refused.
We live in a real world where power, influence and position, can and does manipulate and subvert and truth. It appears that at times these results can be achieved even when the person is in custody. Even as the law stands by, as a mere spectator, indifferent to its promise to protect the woman's dignity.
Also to all my friends and fellow travelers who are secular activists, anti-communal campaigners and civil libertarians, I have not overnight become naive, nor have I succumbed to some victim's story. I am thinking with the same clarity, mental agility, and political astuteness, with which i engage with the Ishrat Jahan case, or Soni Sori, or the Muzaffarnagar gang rapes. In my struggle against fascism, I do not prioritize rights or victims. At the core of my politics lies freedom of all, including women.
By Kavita Krishnan
Mr Anurag Kashyap,
You say "I have seen the CCTV footage too and none of what the girl says about Tarun Tejpal is true"…Who showed you the footage? I and most people haven't seen the footage – rightly so, because legally we can't. So is the footage being shown to selected individuals in the media, the film world?
Does the footage show what happened inside the lift? You cite Manu Joseph's piece in Outlook. That piece, that so insidiously builds sympathy for Tejpal, says about the footage:"Nothing in the young woman's body language indicates sexually potent conversation…They are not walking hand in hand, rather Tejpal is leading her and she is following him…they are separated by the whole width of the lift, which is about five feet. There is an unhappy tension between them as they walk out….Also there is not a moment in the footage that shows the young woman exhibiting anything resembling physical affection for Tejpal."
How do I break this to you – rape survivors don't behave like women in the Hindi films…They don't rush out of lifts yelling Bachao…
Yes, they act 'normal'. Yes, they try to appear as though nothing happened. The more so when the violator is someone they know, trust, and who has power over them (is a family member, family friend, boss, teacher etc…), when the consequence of making the violation public might mean loss of a job, loss of cherished friendships, relationships.
No, raped women don't usually use martial arts on their violators, they try to get the trusted person violating them, to stop, they hope the problem will go away, they agonise long and hard about the consequences before they complain. If the father of a friend rapes a woman, if a husband of a friend molests someone, the survivors worry about the impact of the incident on their friend, their friendship.
They hope, against hope that the person will apologise, and stop. And yes, in my experience, most survivors of gender violence forget or misremember small details – that's because of the stark, traumatic impact of the LARGE detail of having been raped, of being told that to keep their job they must now subject to sex with the boss, the more so if the rapist is not a stranger but someone known and trusted.
Manu Joseph writes about the 'fingertips' sms that it could have been the words of a drunken man who thinks he's flirting. Yes, arrogant rapists have been known to boast that the woman they raped enjoyed it.
Honey Singh's songs tell us of that mindset quite eloquently. Did the footage as seen by Joseph suggest any flirtation on part of the woman?! No? Tejpal's own letter admits the woman's 'clear reluctance', and that he invoked his being her boss. He claims he withdrew the latter remark with a clear, cogent statement. If he wants us to believe that's true, then he clearly wasn't so drunk as to not recognise that she was unhappy and felt imposed upon. AFTER this exchange, how could anyone believe that a sms by Tejpal saying 'fingertips' is 'flirting'?!
The many respondents on your post Mr Kashyap, who say 'We know the complainant, impossible for her to be raped' are displaying classic, textbook victim-blaming tactics. No, it's not 'impossible' for ANY woman to be raped – her being modern, emancipated, strong (even learning martial arts) can't be a guarantee that she won't be raped – especially by someone she knows, trusts and who has power over her.
The good part here, Mr Kashyap, is that your macho image of 'man who makes film to inspire women to take up martial arts to resist rape' has been taken down – by you yourself. You now stand exposed as a common or garden variety misogynist who thinks it's the complainant who is 'the accused' and who is on trial.

Why the Age of the Aircraft Carrier (At Almost 100 Years Old) Is Nowhere Near Over
Nope, not obsolete.
Aircraft carriers are just big ships with flat decks. Their true power comes from their ability to provide a secure, mobile airbase for a powerful air wing. Given the expected lifespan of the new carriers entering service with the USN (50 years or more), we can have no doubt that the ships will radically increase in lethality over the next decades.
HMS Furious , the first real aircraft carrier, entered service in early 1918. A converted cruiser, she displaced about 20,000 tons, and flew about half a dozen Sopwith Camels, an aircraft with a range of about 150 miles and a weapons payload just short of 100 pounds. Twenty-five years later, Furious could carry 36 aircraft, ranging at least twice as far with weapon loads of around 2,000 pounds. Her larger, purpose built cousins could carry double the number of aircraft. Armored flight decks, improved anti-aircraft armament, and better damage control procedures protected many of these later carriers from attacks that would sink their older brethren.
In short, aircraft carriers are composite systems of warfare that can increase rapidly in lethality as their components improve. While the USN (and the other carrier fleets of the world) will likely never achieve the leaps forward in lethality that the inter-war navies experienced, it can still expect that its carrier fleet will grow in effectiveness over time. The USN can increase the effectiveness of its carriers in one of three ways: increase their offensive striking power, tighten their defense, or (perhaps most difficult) bring their procurement costs into line. In this context, here are five developments that could increase the lethality of the USN's aircraft carrier fleet:
Integrated missile defense
The greatest present threat to the aircraft carrier appears to lie in the combination of cruise and precision ballistic missiles. Individually, either of these can give a carrier a very bad day, resulting in mission-killing damage to the flight deck, or worse. In combination, they present a lethal problem for fleet air defense to manage, especially when the cruise missiles approach from multiple vectors.
(This first appeared in August 2015 and is being reposted due to reader interest)
Air defense isn't a new problem for aircraft carriers; many World War II carriers were lost to air attack, and the Soviets planned to destroy the USN's carriers with huge flights of missile-carrying Backfire bombers. The combination of ballistic and cruise missiles presents a new tactical picture, one that the USN has concentrated on ameliorating over the last decade by improving its ballistic missile defenses . Most recently, the United States has reopened the possibility of "multi-object kill vehicles," interceptors which can destroy multiple incoming targets and decoys. The ability of carrier escorts to prevent damage to their charge unquestionably makes carriers more dangerous to prospective opponents.
The power generation capabilities of the Gerald Ford (CVN-78)-class vastly exceed those of the previous Nimitz-class carriers. In the short term, this may not mean much, although it will certainly make some tasks easier (including EMALS, the new electromagnetic launch system). In the longer term, this extra power generation capacity may make lasers an effective tool for air defense.
The U.S. Navy has devoted a great deal of attention to the prospect of making directed energy weapons a useful defense system. In theory, lasers could resolve many of the problems associated with ballistic and cruise missile defense, including the accuracy and limited number of interceptors. A carrier with sufficiently powerful laser defenses could curtail the threat of even large salvos of cruise and ballistic missiles, providing a carrier group with an extra degree of security and lethality in contested areas.
With the post-Cold War cancellation of the A-12 Avenger, and the retirement of the A-6 Intruder, the USN's carrier force has lacked a long-range strike option. The Navy has replaced this capability with the Tomahawk missile, a system that poses considerably less risk to its operators than a manned aircraft. The USN has also focused on inflight refueling as a way of extending the range of its fighter-bombers, although this practice has strained the airframes of many of the Navy's planes.
At the moment, probably the biggest debate in the Navy involves the UCLASS program, an effort to supply the Navy with a long-range stealth drone. Much of the debate turns on what exactly the drone will be able to do; advocates want a long-range strike aircraft , while the more cautious want a drone that can focus on ISR. The development of either would increase the lethality of the USN's carrier force, but a long-range strike drone, while expensive, would represent a welcome addition to the air wing.
Gens 5-6 airwing
Fundamentally, the strength of a carrier depends most on the capabilities of its air wing. In the next decade, the aircraft launched from U.S. carriers will undergo considerable change. Most notably, the arrival of the F-35C (whatever the larger problems with the program) will increase the stealth, sensor capacity, and communications capabilities of the air wing. In combination with the EA-18 Growler, this will increase the lethality of the entire air wing.

Adams' Pack Station is located at Chantry Flat, California, the heart of Big Santa Anita Canyon in the San Gabriel Mountains of Southern California, and one of the most popular and historically-significant spots in the Angeles National Forest. Built in 1936, this is thought to be the last pack station of its kind in the United States.
So, what is a pack station? A pack station is the base of operations for one who transports freight via pack animals (this person is called an outfitter). In other words, we use donkeys to carry stuff.
What we do at Adams' Pack Station, and what makes us unique among other pack stations, is deliver supplies year-round to a permanent community that is only accessible by footpath. We are the life-blood of 81 antique recreational cabins plus Sturtevant Camp, which was established in 1893. The pack string and the old-fashioned crank phone system are their only link to the modern world. A visit to our beautiful canyon is like taking a step back in time.
We have also operated a General Store on our front porch since 1953. Come for your Forest Service Adventure Passes, water, and trail mix before your hike; return for soft drinks and ice cream, or an ice cold beer, on the shady deck. Every Friday, Saturday & Sunday we offer hot, fresh food, and every Sunday of the warm months we have concerts from noon to 5:30. You are always welcome to drive up just for coffee and conversation – we're only fifteen minutes from the "big city."
The road to Chantry Flat is open from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM. You can buy your Adventure Pass (often called the "parking pass") at the Pack Station on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. When the Pack Station is closed, you are welcome to park in the Pack Station lot and put $5.00 in the Pack Station's Honor Box. The Honor Box money goes to buy feed for the donkeys and the goats. They greatly appreciate your donations.

Marketing Magazine | By Eve Lazarus
You can be forgiven if you've never heard of Chilliwack. It's a small city about an hour-and-a-half drive from Vancouver in BC's Fraser Valley that many locals have yet to visit. It's also the home of an ad agency which—depending on whether a client is part of the financial services industry or in the tourism business—calls itself Currency: The Credit Union Marketing Agency or Passport: The Destination Marketing Agency.
Currency Passport has 11 people headed up by creative director and principal Tim McAlpine. McAlpine, 35, started a small graphic design studio 15 years ago. He gradually expanded into other areas as clients demanded more services, changes the name from the McAlpine Group and decided to focus on two business streams.
McAlpine has an impressive list of clients that includes Envision Financial, the fourth largest credit union in Canada, and almost a dozen other credit unions in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario, as well as Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa. But the agency's biggest coup, and proof that specialization works, was its wrestling away Rocky Mountaineer Vacations, and its multimillion-dollar marketing budget, from incumbent TBWA Vancouver.
Michele de Rappard, director of marketing for Rocky Mountaineer Vacations in Vancouver, says it was the agency's "alternative style and creative" that attracted them initially.
"It's the creativity, their thought process, the attention they give and the planning process," she says. Passport handles direct mail, magazine ads, product brochures and has just finished rebranding the company from Rocky Mountaineer Railtours to Rocky Mountaineer Vacations.
De Rappard says that while Passport is strictly creative and strategy, she was impressed with its ability to bring different partners in when necessary. For instance, it brought in Vancouver media shop Genesis Shepansky to work on RM's media buy, and de Rappard says they liked the idea of working with this kind of "hub agency."
Specialization, says McAlpine, has allowed his agency to notch up and impressive client list and, at the same time, to venture outside the B.C. market. "When we were in the new business situations," says McAlpine, "the first comment that would come up was 'we have 40 firms we can choose from that are just down the street and you are in Chilliwack, why would we possibly go with you?'." McAlpine says since making the decision to specialize that question is rarely asked.
Certainly, Cathy Mombourquette, senior manager marketing at the seven-branch Woodslee Credit Union in Essex County, Ontario, didn't care when she was shopping for an agency earlier this year.
"They marketed themselves as a credit union marketing agency and listed all the benefits of why I should use them," says Mombourquette. "I don't have to educate them on credit unions, they know all that stuff."
Specialization to McAlpine is a "no brainer," but he reckons it's still pretty scary to most agencies that think it will limit their potential. "What it does is it just opens everything right up, it allows you to be small and nimble but get beyond your geographic constraints."

"Systematizing Internationalization Policy In Higher Education: Towards A Typology" by Daniela Craciun
Higher education, internationalization, typology, conceptualization, policy ABSTRACT: The internationalization of higher education has become a strategic priority for governments because of the benefits expected to derive from it in the economic, political, socio-cultural and academic spheres. Nevertheless, a review of the academic literature on internationalization in higher education reveals that the concept of "internationalization" has been understood and applied in a variable manner. Considering that internationalization is a central theme in higher education research and practice, this state of affairs is problematic. In response to this situation, this article proposes the establishment of a conceptual typology for the analysis of national internationalization policies as a solution. In turn, such a heuristic device will ease knowledge accumulation, cross-case comparability and disciplined use of terms and procedures. The paper ends by dispelling common concerns related to classifications

"Patterns of Funding Internationalisation of Higher Education. A Conceptual Framework for the Study of Internationalisation" in The European Higher Education Area, pp 205-219
Liviu Matei, Julia Iwinska, Daniela Crăciun
The paper puts forward arguments in favour of a new approach to the study of internationalisation of higher education. It claims that a systematic mapping of the funding of internationalisation could shed new light on the phenomenon itself and also on the ways it has been conceptualized and studied to date. Preliminary results from a research project adopting this approach are presented, including a series of initial findings and interpretations it has made possible. They provide a basis for the construction of the proposed conceptual framework for the study of internationalisation, which may also serve the creation of heuristic instruments for further research in this context. The paper focuses primarily on potential scholarly contributions (in terms of new knowledge and conceptual refining), and discusses briefly potential lessons to be considered from a policy perspective.
Pulls of International Student Mobility
Martin Kahanec and Renata Kralikova wrote Institute for the Study of Labor in Bonn a working paper on factors stimulating the student mobility. The authors in their paper claim that highly qualified immigration is generally considered to be beneficial for host economy. Empirical evidence shows that one important source of highly qualified immigrants are students who used to study at host country's universities. The analysis of 34 countries at two time points (academic years 2005/2006 and 2008/2009) indicates that among four factors in focus - availability of programs in English, immigration policy, higher education quality, and tuition fees - the most important magnet for international students is quality of higher education, which was measured using placement in Shanghai world university ranking. Delivering programs in English language is another important factor influencing the incoming mobility. Surprisingly, also countries with relatively high tuition fees for international students are attractive to international students. Read more.
Since the Bologna Declaration was adopted by 29 ministers of education in June 1999, the focus has been on efforts to harmonize higher education within the European Union. As someone who has worked in higher education for a number of years,Norbert Sabic (PhD '16) is very familiar with these efforts. He is also well aware of the concern among many policy makers about the lack of institutional diversity within Europe. As part of his doctoral research, Sabic analyzed many of the policy documents that have been produced during the last 15 years to stimulate discussions about the diversification of higher education. "One of the themes that came up repeatedly," he says, "is the assumption that given the necessary freedom, right information, required managerial skills, and appropriate incentives, higher education institutions are likely to differentiate on a vertical scale to satisfy societal and political demands for global competitiveness." Read Norbert's PhD here.
On February 26, 2016 Elene Jibladze successfully defended her PhD dissertation on "Suspended Development: Institutional Transformation and Lack of Improvement in the Higher Education System of Post-Revolution Georgia" receiving the distinction magna cum laude. Jibladze has earned a PhD in Political Science from the CEU Doctoral School in the higher education stream of the public policy track. Investigating the higher education system reforms in Georgia that were influenced by global and regional developments, such as the Bologna Process, Jibladze offers an alternative conceptual framework to analyze higher education system transformation in post-Soviet countries in transition.

"Transition legacies, rules of appropriateness and "modernization agenda" translation in higher education governance in Lithuania, Romania and Slovakia" by Renáta Králiková
Renata's dissertation seeks to contribute to an understanding of the translation of internationally promoted models of higher education (HE) governance. It focuses on transition countries sharing similar starting conditions and external pressures, yet different results in the translation process; Lithuania, Romania and Slovakia, which all experienced direct Communist party control over universities prior to 1989. After 1989, they reformed HE governance by introducing organizational autonomy for universities, reacting to state centralization. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, they implemented reforms under the influence of the 'modernization agenda' spread by major international organizations; the World Bank, OECD, UNESCO-CEPES, and European Commission. The use of the 'modernization agenda' is studied in changes made between 1988 and 2012 in three policy areas representing three dimensions of HE governance: university relationship with state (changes to funding and property use), university internal management (centralization of university internal management and organization), and university relations with wider society (introduction of university boards).

Whether you want a Testosterone Cycle, Cutting, Bulking up or a Weight Loss Cycle , you should make the right choice before you start. Make sure that you decide if you want to cut, lose weight, or gain muscle. Maybe even lose weight and gain muscle all at the same time.
A healthy diet along with a good protein supplement will greatly improve performance in any good Cycle. Remember that by losing fat around the body you will increase your strength to mass ratio and improve lean muscle tissue, giving you that lean physique appearance.
Bulking and Cutting Cycles - Those individuals who already have a lean physique wont achieve fat loss gains as quickly as those with more weight and therefore would more than likely opt to go for a combined all in one Bulking and Cutting Cycle to start with.

So should I eat chocolate or not?
I was just noshing on a bit of health food – a dark chocolate bar – when I read that my sweet snack may not be as good for me as once thought.
Last month, an editorial in the British medical journal Lancet warned that while nutrients in dark chocolate can improve cardiovascular health, manufacturers often remove the heart-healthy chemicals. The bitter taste of flavanols, antioxidants that have been linked to protection against heart disease, has led many companies to remove them during the chocolate-production process.
Just in case you were thinking of checking the label for flavanols in your chocolate bar, manufacturers rarely include that information, according to the editorial. And the Lancet emphasized that even with the flavanols, dark chocolate is no substitute for other heart-healthy foods: "The devil in the dark chocolate is the fat, sugar and calories it also contains."
Another strike against chocolate came this month in a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, which linked frequent chocolate consumption to decreased bone density and strength in older women. After testing 1,001 women aged 70 to 85, researchers found that those who ate chocolate less than once a week had significantly stronger bones than those who consumed chocolate daily. The Australian researchers listed oxalate, sugar and cocoa as ingredients in chocolate that may prevent the body from utilizing calcium to strengthen bones.
How am I supposed to decide what to eat when scientists keep changing their minds on whether certain foods are good for me? It seems that foods are like stocks, with nutritional value going up and down as new research comes out highlighting health benefits and dangers. Based on these studies, I suppose dark chocolate has fallen to a new 52-week low.
But take solace in the fact that the stock of another guilty pleasure is on the rise: I'm heading to the pub for an anti-cancer beer.

text: Home - Catalog - Language A Rose in Full Bloom by Rosie Bourget $15.00 Quantity: Description Dealing With Grief and Bereavement! People experience things in as many different ways. We think we are greater than our feelings, we try to suppress them and bury them deep within our hearts, but they eventually come back to haunt us again later in life. The loss of a family member is probably one of the hardest emotional experiences we ever have to endure. The death of a brother or sister comes with its own unique set of thoughts and feelings. It can be confusing and distressing at times, no matter what your age. As I grieve my sister Chantale, I do not focus on her death, rather on her life. I talk to her as if she were still alive. Not many people realize how hard it is to lose a sibling. No one who has not experienced it can understand how it changes your life and how it really affects you. The loss of a loved one leaves a gaping hole in our lives. A hole that is deep and hard to fill. It will eventually heal, but it does take time. However, the thing that helped me the most was to concentrate not on my loss, but on all the times that we shared and how fortunate I was to have her in my life. She passed, but she is always with me. It did not take me long to understand that losing a sibling is a lifetime journey, something that will never stop. I will always remember my sister! Over all, appreciate and treasure your siblings, never take them for granted, live each day like it could be yours or their last, it very well could be.

Eco-sustainable features include geothermal and photovoltaic systems, solar hot water and advanced heat-recovery technologies, all contributing to the reduction of energy consumption by 70%. Rainwater recycling provides for irrigation of the native plantings in the yard and rooftop garden. by
