Discover more about the physiology of your skin, the challenges it faces as we age and how our probiotic ingredients can help to slow this process down.
Aurelia Probiotic Skincare continues to lead the probiotic revolution and as one of the first to innovate probiotic skincare our science remains unique.
AURELIA'S PROBIOTIC INGREDIENTS continuously protect, restore and balance the skin from within. They calm the natural immune triggers in your skin which can be overstimulated by pollution and stress and they reduce the damage these immune triggers cause to collagen, elastin and healthy cells.
Aurelia's Probiotic Ingredients activate the skin's natural ability to repair itself and boost the natural process of restoring collagen, elastin and healthy cells.
Equilibrium is maintained for balanced glowing skin from within.
Our probiotic technology is advanced and works to calm the natural immune triggers in your skin which can be overstimulated by pollution and stress.
We pride ourselves on being probiotic skincare pioneers who lead the way in harnessing our new, natural science which remains unique to this day. We want our products to make a real difference to women by delivering glowing, balanced skin every day.
We don't use live bacteria or work on the skin's surface microbiome – we believe there is a much better, more advanced way. We use a non-live probiotic from bifido bacteria in the form of a glycoprotein (a molecule which helps cell-to-cell communication) which we then combined with a milk peptide to protect and restore your skin from within.
We are different to all other probiotic skincare brands and have made a beautiful two-minute animation to explain how, please take a look above.
Having continuously pushed the boundaries of science and nature we have celebrated winning over 100 industry and consumer awards since 2013 for our brand and beautiful products.
The microbiome, or the acid mantel of the skin, is a critical part of the jigsaw of healthy-looking balanced skin. It needs to be looked after with the utmost of care!
The biggest impact to the health of the natural skin barrier is actually caused by a number of factors but importantly how we choose to treat our skin has a huge impact. Women often use too harsh ingredients and they strip the natural oils exposing the skin to irritants which leads to imbalance, redness and dryness as moisture escapes from the skin layers. Dermatologists call this TEWL (Transepidermal Water Loss).
The skin's natural acid mantel or microbiome is delicate and needs to be looked after in order to help protect it. The best way to do this is by treating your skin gently and avoiding harsh preservatives, especially MI, and foaming agents (SLS), strong acids peels and pads as well as too much exfoliation. Stress, hormones and lack of sleep can also impact the skin barrier negatively so looking after yourself also helps to promote healthy looking skin. External factors add to this including daily pollution, grime, extreme weather and harsh sunlight.
At Aurelia Probiotic Skincare we believe that avoiding certain ingredients on your skin improves the acid mantel and that using our probiotic products in combination helps restore, balance and protect the skin from within. By effectively working on immune triggers within your skin you will be protecting it from daily pollutants and the impact of day-to-day challenges on the skin. Our science doesn't work on the skin surface, but deeper within the skin at a cellular level.
Aurelia's Probiotic Milk Peptide works with our other probiotic ingredients to help stimulate cells (fibroblasts) that produce collagen (responsible for skin elasticity), hyaluronic acid (responsible for hydration) and fibronectin (responsible for skin support). These components give skin its youthful, supple and toned appearance and their deterioration leads to loss of skin tone, skin sagging and wrinkles.
The Probiotic Milk Peptide delivers an active network of natural signaling molecules, including Transforming Growth Factor β (TGF- β), to stimulate fibroblast activity and restore the composition of the extracellular matrix resulting in firmer skin. Our scientific studies prove an increase in fibronectin synthesis of 220%, collagen synthesis of 140% and a huge 1,900% increase in natural hyaluronic acid levels. In addition, the Probiotic Milk Peptide has been shown to improve skin smoothness, reduce wrinkle depth and enhance the overall structure of the skin.
Aurelia's eye complex works on protein complexes within our skin cells (proteasomes) that are key for breaking down unwanted and degraded proteins, for example oxidised proteins that may be present in stressed or aged skin (caused by free radicals).
Although proteasome activity in our skin declines with age, Aurelia's eye complex can recharge this activity and boost the natural protein recycling process in our skin cells. Our scientific testing showed that skin cells treated with Aurelia's eye complex have double proteasome activity, compared with untreated cells after just 24 hours.
Our eye complex also boasts a 17-30% visual improvement in the appearance of fine lines.
The rate and stage at which we age depends on a number of factors including genetics, lifestyle, exposure to UV light and exposure to environmental stressors and internal factors such as stress and hormones. However, first signs of ageing usually occur in our mid to late 20s or early 30s, with fine lines appearing, pigmentation, a change in skin texture and loss of skin radiance resulting in dullness. Aurelia Probiotic Skincare's Age Prevention range has been specifically designed to target these early skin changes and continues to help manage the levels of inflammation within the skin as we age.
We all age in different ways depending on a number of factors including genetics, lifestyle, exposure to UV light, pollution and other internal factors such as stress and hormones. For many the first signs of ageing occur in our mid to late 20s or early 30s, with fine lines appearing, pigmentation, a change in skin texture and loss of skin radiance resulting in dullness. It's not all bad news, by taking good care of your skin at any age huge improvements can be seen!
Skin in your 20s
In your twenties skin may still be going through lots of changes. With slightly higher oil production you may still experience breakouts although your overall complexion will be smooth and naturally radiant. Skin tends to settle down throughout your late twenties and establishing a gentle but effective routine here will help skin look fantastic in later life. Avoid treating the skin too harshly at this age, look out for ingredients that can cause irritation and avoid harsh exfoliants and acid pads which strip the natural skin barrier. Learn more about ingredients to avoid here.
Skin in your 30s
Skin in your thirties is when free radicals are on the loose, expression lines start to make themselves visible and sun worshippers may start to see some light sun-spots so make sure you use a minimum of SPF 30 on your face. Some women suffer adult acne at this age, just when they think things are improving. You might notice skin is not as radiant, as cell turnover decreases and collagen production slows down, causing less plumpness and the beginning of fine lines and early wrinkles. Studies show we are at our most beautiful throughout our thirties so make the most of it.
Skin in your 40s
Skin has all the potential to look lovely in your forties. You may still have the to-do list from your thirties but perhaps a bit more time to spend on yourself. At this stage you're looking to keep a youthful glow about your skin, staying hydrated and increasing collagen production. You may have deeper expression lines, a lack of radiance and drier or more dehydrated skin as your natural sebum production decreases. All easily solvable with the right skincare to boost radiance, hydration and glow.
Skin in your 50s
Skin in your fifties can look fabulous but may start to change again so it's really important to take extra care. Skin may continue to get drier and, if you're going through the menopause, hot flushes can affect your skin too. Those with oilier skin will hugely benefit here and will show fewer signs of ageing. Enjoy the confidence you should feel in your fifties and embrace your beautiful skin!
Older & Wiser
In your sixties and beyond, collagen and elastin can decline further and the structure of the skin can become looser around the face and neck. Serums and treatments will boost your routine perfectly and overnight oils will become your saviour! As before, embrace your natural beauty and keep looking after your skin to maintain radiance.
As we become older one of the main indications of ageing is when our skin starts to lose its natural glow and begins to look dull and tired. When young, our body's renewal processes behave optimally and our skin cells turn over on average every 28 days. As we age the body's natural ability for cell renewal deteriorates. Although the rest of our body may feel energised, the blood flow to our skin and the body's natural replenishment process slows down and the skin's natural enzymes that help remove and replace dead cells become inefficient. This can lead to dead skin cells piling up, which absorb light and cause our skin to appear dull and fatigued. Dullness is a major ageing skincare concern and one we focus on greatly improving at Aurelia Probiotic Skincare. For younger skins that suffer from dullness it is often caused by a build-up of unwanted ingredients have been on the skin. Silicones and mineral oils are commonly used and should be avoided. Silicones are often used to achieve a superficial silky feeling when applied to the skin but they do this by creating a plastic-like film. This alters the skin's ability to process toxins and can mean irritants are trapped on the skin's surface and pores are more easily blocked. The skin does not function and 'breathe' in the right way.
Smooth, plump skin relies on proteins called collagen and elastin. When these two proteins are compromised, wrinkles become visible. Collagen, together with elastin, is responsible for skin strength and elasticity and these proteins give skin its youthful, supple and toned appearance. Collagen strands within the Extracellular Matrix (ECM) help to hold the skin's structure together and form the framework of tissues. As we age, and degradation occurs, these collagen strands slacken and can break, which causes the skin to sag and wrinkles to form.
With age, our skin becomes more prone to the development of pigment spots, a hallmark of photo-exposed skin.
Normally appearing on our face neck and hands, these clusters of excess pigment (melanin) are typically the combined result of prolonged sun exposure and high levels of stress in our skin cells.
This is because prolonged UV exposure and intense stress in our skin cells can trigger biological pathways that lead to overproduction of melanin in clusters of cells. This excess melanin is transported from melanin producing skin cells to cells in upper layers of the skin, where the dark brown spots form.
Thousands of natural antioxidants are found in fruit, vegetables and plants and include vitamins A, C, and E. Aurelia Probiotic Skincare is abundant in natural antioxidants from the precious BioOrganic botanicals used throughout the range that are ethically sourced from around the world. The high antioxidant content combats free radicals which are the cause oxidative stress, damage to the skin structure and, at excessive levels, induce an inflammatory response. They terminate chain reactions by removing free radical intermediates and inhibit other oxidation reactions. They do this by being oxidised themselves, working to reduce free radicals and prevent skin ageing. Aurelia Probiotic Skincare has been all over the world and searched for the very best BioOrganic botanicals which are rich in antioxidants to add to our scientifically developed formulations. Antioxidants are fantastic when dealing with the first signs of skin ageing and paired with ourprobiotic ingredients your skin will be balanced from within.
To learn more about our antioxidant rich BioOrganic botanicals, read the A-Z of ingredients and watch our botanical research film made in Malawi.
The damage free radicals cause to the skin is directly linked to a speeding up of the ageing process. When the skin is damaged immune triggers release collagen and elastin-digesting enzymes which unbalance the skin's equilibrium. Collagen and elastin are important proteins which are responsible for skin strength and elasticity. They give skin its youthful supple and toned appearance and their degradation (caused by these harmful enzymes) leads to loss of skin tone, skin sagging and wrinkles. Make sure your products contain antioxidants to help fight free radical damage.
MADE WITH LOVE in England from seed to skin using the purest, BioOrganic,
ethically sourced, cruelty-free ingredients to make your skin glow.
MADE WITHOUT a long list of questionable ingredients, including sulphates, parabens, mineral oils and MI to name only a few.

Amanda Answers Top Questions
What vision do you have for your life and your coaching practice?
My vision for my coaching practice is to inspire a revolution in healthcare by teaching people to listen to their bodies, learn from their symptoms, and make choices that are aligned with their inner wisdom.
My vision for my life is to live in integrity, lead by example, and share my discoveries and passions with enthusiasm.
What are the top three things you love about coaching?
Meaningful and deep connections with my clients about the things that matter most to them.
Being witness to the joy my clients experience when they learn to truly love and care for themselves.
Creating a work/lifestyle that is fully aligned with who I am and what I value most: freedom, flexibility, love, connection, continual discovery and vibrant health.
Before I started coaching I …
…was a somatic psychotherapist at a residential facility for women with eating disorders. This experience gave me great learning and discovery around the psychotherapeutic model and the health insurance system. It spurred me to consider deeply questions such as "What is really underlying dis-ease?" and "What will make a lasting difference in my client's mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health?" Within this conventional treatment setting, I incorporated body-centered techniques whenever I could and realized how incredibly transformational body-awareness and breathing practices were for my clients. I started a private therapy practice and have developed my work in to what I now call Mind and Body Health Coaching. The focus of my work is to support my clients to create vibrant health through accessing the power of the mind-body connection and taking practical steps that are aligned with their deepest wants and needs. I teach my clients to tune in and honor what their bodies are communicating to them. Over and over again, I have seen and experienced the magic that can happen when we focus our intentions and actions and free ourselves to create the vitality we want.
What makes you laugh?
What comes to mind right away is my dog's sweet and sometimes peculiar behaviors, my 4½ year-old nephew, "TV bloopers" and funny out-takes, other people laughing, and the moments when I "see through" some pattern or belief that just a minute ago felt so serious and "real."
The legacy I want to leave behind is this:
…a thriving movement in healthcare that is centered on people loving themselves and living in alignment with their bodies and their spirits. I imagine the 1000's of people I will have coached spreading ripples of our work together throughout the world, contributing to the health of all people on this planet.
In my wildest dreams I'd also love to leave behind educational facilities for health professionals and healing centers that foster self-love, connection to the body, and whole-being wellness.
Who are your top three people you would want to coach and why?
I am interested in coaching people who are ready to take charge of their health; clients who are open to new learning and eager for support to build a loving relationship with themselves and their body. Whether someone is basically healthy and wanting to fine-tune their relationship with food or exercise, for example, or has a serious medical condition they want to resolve, what matters most is their openness to change and their willingness to love themselves.
One of my current clients is a good example. She is a busy professional and a mother of a 3-year old. She came to me feeling exhausted, overwhelmed and ready to make important changes in her lifestyle and health routine. She is motivated, open to learning, and willing to take action as she learns to love herself and feel her feelings. It is a joy to witness her creating the vitality she has been wanting.
Another client I am working with came to me with more serious medical concerns. I am doing a 3-month, in-home "health intensive" with her. She is completely re-vamping her life and, with my support, creating time to cook simple, healthy meals, exercise regularly, implement medical recommendations from her health practitioners, learn to breathe effectively, stretch and practice qigong. She is making these changes with the intention to create more energy to explore and expand upon her creative expression in the world. Her level of commitment and focus and her ability to re-commit when she feels like giving up, or is facing into long-buried feelings, makes working with her a total pleasure.
Two other people I'd be eager to share my work with are Jeffrey S. Flier, MD, Dean of Harvard Medical School and George Halvorson, CEO of Kaiser Permanente. I'd love for these men in positions of influence to be inspired, through having their own personal experience of mind and body health coaching, to bring the central elements of my work to Western medical education and practice. One of my visions is for the next generation of doctors to have an appreciation of the mind-body connection and an understanding of the transformational effect of living in alignment with our deepest needs and desires. I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to teach in medical schools and for doctors to refer their patients to health coaches to support them in creating vibrant health.
What were the greatest benefits you received from studying at the Hendricks Institute?
Being a part of the Hendricks' world has been one of the most important blessings in my life. The greatest benefits for me have been: • Knowing myself as a powerful creator.
• Experiencing the freedom and energy that comes from taking 100% responsibility for all aspects of my life.
• Having my essence reflected back to me over and over again, so that I could come to know it myself.
• Deep, meaningful and loving connections with others who are passionate about enjoying life and contributing to our collective "waking up."
The movie that inspired me most was_______.Why? The book?
The movie that inspired me most was…
Miracle: The Story of the Greatest Moment in Sports History. It's the true story of Herb Brooks, the player-turned-coach who led the 1980 men's U.S. Olympic hockey team, many of whom were amateur players, to victory over the Soviets, considered the best ice hockey team in the world at the time. These young Americans gave it their all with no guarantee of anything. They stretched the limits of their physical and psychological capacities, focused their minds, hearts and bodies towards a common goal and "left nothing on the ice." My goal as a coach is to inspire this level of dedication in my clients, to create synergy through teamwork and collaboration, and to draw out the best in people to create "miracles" that inspire the world.
The book that inspired me most was…
Ageless Body, Timeless Mind, by Deepak Chopra. I read this book for the first time 14 years ago while on a 4-day solo hiking trip along the coast of New Zealand's South Island. This book changed the course of my life, to put it mildly. At the time, I was taking pre-med courses and had planned on applying to medical school after college. This book illuminated, for me, the profundity of the mind-body connection and its impact on aging, illness and healing. I knew that a mainstream medical education would not offer me the kind of information I found in this book; the importance of our awareness and intentions, and how our perceptions shape our world and ultimately our health. I was totally fascinated by what I read and have been pursuing these concepts ever since. This is my passion. Instead of going to medical school, I got my Master's degree in somatic (body-centered) psychotherapy and have been studying yoga, meditation, breath- and body-centered transformation, energy medicine and qigong for many years. I am now earning my PhD in Psychoneurology and Integrative Medicine.
What brings you the most joy in your day to day life?
Learning, growing, evolving, laughing, playing
Conscious friendships and meaningful connections
Connecting to "Spirit" (consciousness, universal intelligence)
My dog Tulsa
Walking, running and just being in the woods
Moving my body in a variety of pleasurable ways
Enjoying yummy, healthy food
What ten things could you not do without?
Loving connection with my family and friends
Time in beautiful nature
Clean air
Clean water
Natural foods
Movement and play of various forms (running, dancing, bouncing, swimming, stretching, hiking, massaging, play-wrestling and more!)
My computer and the internet
Connection with animals
My breath
*I thank myself, my amazing teachers, my spirit guides, ancestors, family and friends for who I am and who I am becoming. I know how deeply loved and supported I am. I feel truly blessed. Thank you Gay and Katie for giving me the opportunity to share myself here.*

Hello, I've just installed the plugin - it's great btw! - and it seems to be working well, I've been able to integrate its data and "actions" into my existing Indigo pages and action groups. But, I can't seem to get the Away status to change. The Away Status is controlled through the "Master" device only, right?
When I try to set the Away status, the log entry tells me this:
Ignored device "NEST Home Master" action request (communication is disabled)
And, when I try to enable Indigo communication to the Nest Home Master device, I am unable to check that checkbox in the device list, even though everything else is working properly.
Does anyone have a recommendation? I've tried reloading the plugin, restarting Indigo server, no luck. I'm running Indigo 6.1.4 on El Capitan.
I am running the old "Yet Another Nest Plugin" concurrently JUST for the away / home status change functionality and I'd like to retire that one because it's a buggy plugin that needs to be reloaded every hour.
No one replied to my original post, and the author of the plugin won't accept a private message from me (just sits in my outbox), so I really don't know what to do :-/
Thanks for any help anyone might be able to provide...

ABSTRACT: Since trace metal bioavailability, while potentially toxic, affects key enzymatic activities, the cycling of metals in the environment can critically impact the cycling of major nutrients such as nitrogen or carbon. For instance, iron (Fe) is the most important metal in biology. Despite its abundance on earth its bioavailability is very low in both terrestrial and marine ecosystems, due to its very low solubility in oxic solution, not greater than 10-18 M at pH 7. To overcome the challenge of Fe acquisition, many microorganisms produce siderophores, low molecular weight ligand with high affinity for Fe, to retrieve Fe from natural sources. Siderophores are released in the environment, under Fe stress, to promote Fe acquisition by impacting extracellular Fe speciation. This process strongly relies on the ability of produced siderophores to compete with natural Fe sources to from soluble Fe complexes.
However, while siderophores achieve very high affinity for Fe, the complexation of Fe from oxids and organic matter sources is often affected by very low kinetics (several hours, days and more). This is a major constrain to metal acquisition, Fe homeostasis and bacterial growth. Our understanding of how siderophore-Fe complexes are retrieved by bacteria once formed in the extracellular matrix also remains elusive.
Besides the production of siderophores, another important feature of most microorganisms is their capacity to form multicellular communities embedded in a self-secreted extracellular matrix; biofilms. Biofilms are ubiquitous in the environment, and provide many advantages for the microbial communities such as protection against environmental stresses and increased sharing of resources.
Here, I will present recent results showing that, in the model organism Bacillus subtilis, biofilm formation responds to intracellular Fe limitation. I will also show evidences that the production of the biofilm matrix improves the efficiency of siderophores to recruit Fe from unavailable sources. Finally I will discuss the importance to further study the role of biofilm formation on Fe, and other essential trace metals, acquisition in terrestrial, aquatic and marine (coastal and open-ocean) ecosystems.

(Las Vegas, NV) — The parents of 15-year-old Alyssa Otremba say a private funeral will be held for their daughter this weekend. The Arbor View High student's burned body was found last Saturday near her northwest valley home. The suspect, 19-year-old Javier Righetti, faces a preliminary hearing October 14th. He's being held without bail. Police say Righetti has admitted to the crime, and claims to have committed a second rape and robbery. Detectives are still investigating.
Northwest valley parents are calling for a drainage tunnel to be closed off. The tunnel is located near the area where 15-year-old Alyssa Otremba's body was discovered. Police say the teen was not attacked in the tunnel, but students at Arbor View High use it as shortcut. Las Vegas Councilman Steve Ross, who represents the district, says he'll talk to officials about the tunnel next Tuesday.

Educational Model.
Our approach to constructivist language development for English learners is the Activity-Based, Communicative (ABC) Model (Levine & McCloskey, 2013). The principles of this model are:
Active Learning
Communicative Learning
|Learners are active
Learners are interactive
Learners and teachers collaborate
Instruction is culturally relevant and responsive
Learners develop strategies for independent learning
|Instruction incorporates prior knowledge
Instruction integrates language and content
Instruction is differentiated – providing appropriate levels of instruction for each learner's language level and content proficiency
Learners are provided with clear, appropriate goals and frequent feedback on their achievement
English Language Development Goals.
Curriculum for development of language and the language of content is guided by and geared to the WIDA Standards for Proficiency in English, used in Georgia and 32 other states for developing the potential of linguistically diverse students. The WIDA-ACCESS Test is used to assess English language proficiency development from year to year in academic content areas.
Content development Goals.
In Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, Music, Art, and Health, the GVP curriculum aims to build basic skills while developing higher-order learning. Because our learners are preparing for Georgia high schools, we work to help them approach state adopted Common Core Standards in language arts and mathematics, Georgia Curriculum Standards in all subjects, and Standards as developed by professional organizations for each content area. Teachers adapt goals, objectives, and instruction to learner's levels in order to make content and language accessible and comprehensible.
Readiness Goals.
Life skills, study skills, and learning strategies for readiness are guided by the Global Village Project Readiness Rubric. In all classes, teachers work with learners to achieve these goals at a high level, and to record the achievement of these goals, along with student work and reflection on their work as evidence.
School Structure and Schedule:
Students are placed in flexible levels, or Forms, with opportunities to develop at their own pace. Class sizes are usually about 10-12 students. Students have 2-3 hours of ESOL/reading/literacy/language arts, 1 hour of math, 1 hour of science, and 1 hour of social studies each day. They have 1 hour/week each of art and music, and 2 hours a month for health. Students who are expected to leave GVP the following year have a monthly empowerment class, designed to help to develop the skills needed for high school. All students at GVP have the opportunity to take music lessons in piano, guitar, recorder, or ukulele. Students may also participate in Jam Band and Ensemble during Enrichment Periods.
From 4-5 each day during the Enrichment Period, GVP provides opportunities for our students to explore and develop abilities in new areas. They may choose activities such as Ensemble, drawing and painting, music lessons and practice, drama, dance, storytelling, Girl Scouts, knitting, book club, and more. We also have speakers and other special events.
Other Enrichment and Leadership Opportunities provided by GVP:
- Mentoring Program. Supports ongoing social and academic development. Mentors help our learners navigate pathways to the future and everyday life in the local community.
- Empowerment Classes. Support GVP students during their last year and help prepare them for future placements in high school, other programs, and life.
- GVP School Sisters. Peer mentoring program to welcome and orient new students. Peer tutoring supports acculturation and learning.
- Author's Teas. Six times a year, students help to plan and participate in an Authors' Tea, where they present to community visitors and families what they are learning through musical performances, readings and recitations, poems, stories, and skits.
- Community Service Learning Projects. GVP students have opportunities to learn by serving others in a variety of ways. For example, students have been readers for younger learners in local Decatur schools.
- Field Trips and Experiential Learning Opportunities. Students have many opportunities to learn outside of school in a wide range of community locations and educational sites with their classes and with mentors.
PRogram Outcomes & Impact
- Since the 2009-10 school year, GVP's school and mentoring program have provided more than 175 refugee girls with the educational foundation and support they need to succeed in high school and beyond.
- Over the last three years, GVP's program has produced excellent academic outcomes for students. 90% of students gained at least 1.8 grade levels in reading and math during each 9-month school year they spend at GVP, as measured by several nationally validated assessment systems.
- 90% of alumnae who complete our program have graduated or are performing successfully in high school or college.
- In the 2016-17 school year, 15 GVP graduates are in college at Georgia Tech, Agnes Scott College, Berry College, and Georgia State University.
- 1 GVP alumna received the Sun Life Rising Star Scholarship in 2013.
- 1 GVP alumna was awarded the Gates Millennium Scholarship in 2016.
(It is important to note that for most of our students, formal schooling and testing are new experiences. Many are not only learning English and literacy for the first time but are also learning about what school is in the U.S. For these reasons among others, tests may not always accurately assess the fullness of what our students are learning and gaining through our academic program.)

I've tried contacting several readers who won cookbooks via Facebook but apparently those messages are not getting through to them.
So here's a list of winners that I'm still trying to notify:

It's a simple and affordable way to design digital publications that tell an in-depth story about our products, and to deliver the level of detailed information needed by our customers.
Boston (PRWEB) July 01, 2014
Igus, Inc., the North American subsidiary of a German-based global manufacturer, makes plastic cable carriers, continuous-flex cables, bearings and other plastic parts. The industry is complex and the products are seemingly endless, which makes it difficult and costly to disseminate updated information to buyers.
That's why igus sought a digital publishing platform that would improve upon its previous use of a disparate collection of static PDFs on the company website. Igus selected the Publicator platform from Zmags, and is using it to build a 324-page interactive web catalog that will feature animations and other rich media features – not to mention well over 1,000 links to products.
"We needed a mobile and tablet-friendly solution that would allow readers to interact with our materials," explains Ellen Rathburn of igus, Inc. "We love how easy Zmags is to use and, as well as to link data, photos and other information. It's a simple and affordable way to design digital publications that tell an in-depth story about our products, and to deliver the level of detailed information needed by our customers."
Igus also chose Publicator for its superior customizability. For example, of the digital publishing solutions igus considered, Publicator offered the most extensive search capabilities, making it easy to create a drop-down menu that lets users search anywhere in the catalog.
Igus will distribute its digital catalogs to customers and prospects through email, the company website and social media channels. Built in HTML5, the catalogs will deliver a consistent experience across channels and platforms—a critical component of the company's distribution strategy. The digital catalogs will replace physical counterparts whenever possible, saving time, printing costs and shipping costs, and enabling faster and easier updates.

Michigan pets among nation's fattest
Weight issues are not just a "people" thing. Pets can easily become overweight or obese. And, according to a major national study, Michigan pets are among some of America's fattest.
Michigan cats rank 6th on the Banfieled Pet Hospital "State of Pet Health" report, dogs rank 3rd, among the nation's chubbiest.
The report is based on data collected on over 2.5 million pets nationwide. Over the past ten years, the number of overweight pets has increased by nearly 170-percent.
Why? The answers are not simple, but one thing Dr. Kirk Breuninger, lead researcher, says that people tend to use food as a reward, for bonding, and as a means of communication.
Pets face similar health risks as humans when it comes to carrying too much weight. Type 2 Diabetes is a real issue for pets, so is heart disease. Extra weight in pets also contributes to arthritis.
Dr. Breuninger suggests using healthier treats, like pet-friendly vegetables, and giving fewer of them. He also suggests working with your veterinarian to make sure you are giving your pet the proper amount of food.
Exercising your pet is a must. This means taking them for walks, daily. This solution could easily benefit humans, by improving their health along with their pets'.
Wondering if your pet is fat? Stand over them and look down at their body. Do you see a waist? If you don't, that's a huge red flag. You should be able to feel ribs, but if you see them too easily, your pet may be underweight.

Antony And The Johnsons Crying Light tab
_____________________________ / / / Antony and the Johnsons / / The Crying Light / /____________________________/ In January/February 2010 I went backpacking in South America for two months, and I brought my mp3 filled up with new music. Some of this music was this amazing album. After listening to the songs tons of times I couldn't help transcribing them in my head, and I ended up having a pretty good idea of what was going on in each song. So this album tab came out very easily. This tab is mainly - but not only - directed at guitarists! It is supposed to be an overall scheme for the whole orchestra. Antony's main instrument IS the piano; and since his playing usually is very simple and chord-based, it's obvious also to notate the songs as chords. However, I didn't notate any suggestions for guitar chords on purpose. The chords rarely suit guitar very well, so I didn't see the point in notating chord suggestions that would never sound any good anyway. After all the tabs and chords I've gathered all the lyrics. Enjoy these wonderful songs! ..and for questions, comments, corrections - just mail me at email@example.com! - Jon Sebastian Frederiksen, 18th /March /10 ******************************************************************************** All songs written by Antony Hegarty (except where noted): 1.

In the bottom of this soundscape, there is a neat little guitar-figure - in the verses only, that is. The guitar-figure: An acoustic guitar plays this little part in the verses. Pick the B- and E-strings with your index and long finger, while picking the bass notes with your thumb.

So you want to know how much Umphrey's McGee's eighth studio album, Similar Skin, rocks?
"We actually blew my f—in' amp up," says bassist Ryan Stasik. "That's what happens when you make a rock and roll record. You blow the f—in bass amp up."
Influences cited for the record include the Police, U2, The Beatles, Nirvana, Gentle Giant, Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Soundgarden, and Pantera.
You can hear the band's return to straightforward rock on an album that songwriter/guitarist Brendan Bayliss said was all about being "as concise as possible."
Even with a dedication to concision evident on the record, it does also include a 9-minute closer, "Bridgeless," already well-known to fans from live shows.
The album is also the band's first on its own Nothing Too Fancy label.
Check out "Cut the Cable" from the album:
Similar Skin is available on CD, vinyl and as digital download (iTunes and Amazon MP3.)
Similar Skin Track List:
- The Linear
- Cut the Cable
- Hourglass
- No Diablo
- Similar Skin
- Puppet String
- Little Gift
- Educated Guess

Diesel Electric Multiple Unit Class 222 "Meridian" & "Pioneer" - United Kingdom
In 2002 and 2003 Bombardier Transportation received an order for a total of 27 diesel-electric multiple unit cars for HSBC Rail UK Limited. The 125 mph (200 km/h) Class 222 trains are run by the operator's East Midland Trains and Hull Trains as 4, 5 and 9 section configurations and run on the routes London-Nottingham, London-Sheffield and London-Derby. The 23 trains of East Midland Trains carry the designation "Meridian", the remaining 4 trains of Hull Trains are referred to as "Pioneer" . The diesel-electric multiple units are based on Bombardier's highly successful, proven "Voyager" design and the trains are fitted out to the highest standard. In contrast to these, however, they are equipped with extensive catering facilities to enable the operator to provide high levels of service to their customers with retail outlets and at seat trolley services. Other features include an electronic seat reservation system, on-board CCTV, superior First Class accommodation, with 2+1 seating and comprehensive facilities in each vehicle. The trains are of modern, stylish design, are fully air-conditioned and meet all relevant requirements for disabled people.

To my surprise, the Milkbite Bars are made with real milk and calcium to provide the same calcium as an 8 oz. glass of milk. Found in the dairy aisle or refrigerated case, each KRAFT MILKBITE Milk & Granola Bar combines real milk with whole grain granola and other tasty and nutritious ingredients like fruit or roasted nuts, while offering 30% of your daily recommended value of calcium.
Our whole family has tried the chocolate and strawberry Milkbite Bars and all of us enjoy them. I like that they're cold and a little moist unlike many other granola bars. We have eaten all of them and will most definitely keep our refrigerator stocked with Milkbite Bars from now on. My husband and son are especially addicted to them.
This was not a paid post and honest opinions were used. My thoughts may vary from others. Thank you to the company who sent the product for review.

Obama May Not Be U. S. Citizen
Barack Hussein Obama may be constitutionally ineligible for election to the Presidency of the United States, because he was not born in this country and he is not a U. S. citizen. His alleged birth certificate is not certified as authentic, and appears to be a photoshopped fake.
As much as I hate to give credit to the Noseboys for anything, we have some Jews in Israel to thank for turning this one up. A hebe named Ruven Korat, to be specific. It is well to recall that the Jews as a whole don't seem to be buying into the Funky Monkey's sudden convenient conversion to Zionism and his passionate vow to nuke Iran into molten glass 20 minutes after plunking his baby-shit brown butt down in the Oval Office. Most Jews seem to prefer the old neocon team who have served them so well for the last seven years, and who would of course be continued in power through a Potato Head presidency.
Check out my main Red Sea pedestrian Ruven's article at
This story, will, of course, simply vanish off the radar after a day or two, down the Obama-worshipping media's apparently bottomless Memory Hole.
But it's interesting to note that the whole Barack Obama experience is starting to develop this odd fabricated air about it, like a Macy's parade balloon that's sprung a leak and is starting to deflate and drag the ground.

Most couples put a huge effort into the planning of their wedding. When it becomes time to plan your own, be sure to keep in mind the great advice offered in the article below.
Typically, a wedding dress costs a lot of money. Perhaps you could look at dresses not considered as wedding dresses. A bridesmaid dress might strike your fancy as an option, and it would be cheaper than a dress designated for the bride. Many times, you can alter the dress to make it look like a wedding dress for a fraction of the cost of an actual wedding dress.
To make your wedding more personal, include a theme that encompasses you, your future spouse, and the things that are most important to your relationship. Select a theme that best represents what you mean to each other.
If you will have a makeup artist, make sure that you have seen their previous work and like it. Are you comfortable with the makeup they've done before? Make sure that the style matches your vision. The last thing you need is to wind up looking like you are going trick or treating right before the ceremony begins.
If the idea of a thousand-dollar, thousand-calorie wedding cake leaves you with cold feet, contact local boutiques and specialty bakeries and ask about smaller, individual-sized portions. For example, cupcakes can be made to be gluten-free, topped with fruit, or include artificial sweeteners.
Do not place too many flowers on the tables at your wedding reception. The majority of the times, the flowers just get in the way. In addition, some guests could be allergic to flowers. Because of this, you should think about putting candles that are non-scented onto the table in order to achieve a more romantic look.
While it's important to provide your wedding DJ with a list of songs you love and wish to be played at your reception, it's equally as important to let him know what you DON'T like. It could be rap, metal or country-western. Whatever you choose, be sure they know about it so you don't get mad about the song choices.
As you decide the seating arrangements for your receptions, strive to have an even number of individuals at each table. Try grouping tables by age groups so that they can talk about similar things.
You should probably keep your wedding dress at the store until the last minute. If it goes into your closet, wrinkles or stains may occur. 1 of the most common queries we are asked is "how do I locate a pro photographer?" Of course you can use your neighborhood phone directory, but these days the simplest method is to use a search site like Yahoo. For your search term key in something like "wedding photographer your town" swapping the name of the town for the relevant city or venue. This will deliver a list of professional photographers like wedding photographer ireland. Make a shortlist and organise appointments to go and meet at least four of them before making a final choice. Make certain you view a complete wedding, not just their best images.Leave it where it is, and it will look perfect on your wedding.
A colorful and unique cake can be placed on a tablecloth of complimentary fabric to turn it into a work of art that becomes a focal point. A pretty tablecloth made of textured fabric, velvet, shiny satin or a lace that matches the wedding dress are all nice choices.
You can use Craigslist to locate talent in your area. Meet the professional in person with your fiance before signing any contracts or handing over money.
Silk flowers offer great alternative for many of the flowers that you would include in your wedding anyways. This not only saves you money, but it also ensures that there isn't a given time when you need to start collecting these flowers and they will stay fresh forever.
Table centerpieces at your wedding might have a tremendous budgetary and aesthetic impact. Rather than buying a huge centerpiece that occupies the entire table, you should purchase a simple one. Guests will appreciate an environment without distractions, making conversations comfortable and natural.
Do some homework before meeting your wedding planner. You can create a board with different books, fabrics, and elements that you want to incorporate into your wedding. Anything that is special to you, such as items from magazines, can be used to convey your ideas to the planner.
Designing a wedding that lives up to the bride's expectations is the best way to ensure that she is thrilled on her wedding day. If she is forced to plan and then handle a bad wedding, she will be mortified. In order to avoid a potentially catastrophic situation, you should make certain that every decision is reviewed by her.
When thinking about a videographer, be certain to see clips from prospective candidates, and do a lot of interviews. Remember that the editing and sound quality are especially important. It used to be popular to get videos of your wedding on VHS, but ensure that you are receiving a DVD or a digital video that you can play for years to come. Decide who you want to choose based on the gut impression you get with each.
If you want a wedding in Las Vegas, do it. If you are looking for a traditional and meaningful wedding that does not involve Vegas, consider applying the tips from the article above to create a wedding you can be proud of for generations to come.

Voters on the progressive wing of the Democratic Party are rightly disappointed regarding the similarity in the foreign policy positions of the three remaining candidates - Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator Barack Obama, and former Senator John Edwards - with a realistic shot at the Democratic Party presidential nomination. However, there are still some real discernable differences to be taken into account. Indeed, given the power the United States has in the world, even minimal differences in policies can have a major difference in the lives of millions of people.
Foreign Policy Advisors
Much understanding of what kind of foreign policy a potential president might have is by examining who is providing them which their information and advice on international affairs.
Senator Clinton's foreign policy advisors tend to be veterans of President Bill Clinton's administration, most notably former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger. Virtually all were strong supporters of the invasion of Iraq and some - such as Jack Keane, Kenneth Pollack and Michael O'Hanlon - also supported President Bush's "surge." Her team also includes some centrist opponents of the war, however, including retired General Wesley Clark and former Ambassador Joseph Wilson.
Her most influential advisor - and her likely choice for Secretary of State - is Richard Holbrooke, who prior to the invasion of Iraq insisted that that country posed "a clear and present danger at all times," insisted that Bush had "ample justification" to invade Iraq, and has written that those who protested against the war and foreign governments which opposed the invasion "undoubtedly encouraged" Saddam Hussein. Holbrooke has been severely criticized for his role as Carter's assistant secretary of state for East Asia in propping up Marcos in the Philippines and supporting Suharto's repression in East Timor, as well as his culpability in the Kwangju massacre in South Korea.
There is every reason to suspect that Hillary Clinton as president would pursue a foreign policy very similar to that of her husband.
Senator John Edwards has a significantly smaller foreign policy team than his two major rivals, reflecting his stronger emphasis on domestic issues. Though arguably the most liberal of the three on economic policies and related matters, this is not reflected in whom Edwards has chosen to be his top foreign policy advisors: Mike Signer, a longtime national security adviser to Virginia senator Mark Warner, has advocated a policy of "exemplarism," which he describes as "a militarily strong and morally ambitious version of American exceptionalism." His other leading foreign policy advisor is Derek Chollet, a hawkish analyst who serves as a fellow at the Center for New American Security, a center-right think tank with close ties to the Pentagon.
Senator Barack Obama's foreign policy advisers include mainstream strategic analysts who have worked with previous Democratic administrations, such as former National Security Advisors Zbigniew Brzezinski and Anthony Lake, former Assistant Secretary of State Susan Rice and former Navy Secretary Richard Danzig. They have also included some of the more enlightened and creative members of the Democratic Party establishment, such as Joseph Cirincione and Lawrence Korb of the Center for American Progress and former counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke. His team also includes the noted human rights scholar and international law advocate Samantha Power - author of the recent New Yorker article on U.S. manipulation of the United Nations in post-invasion Iraq - and other liberal academics. Some of his advisors, however, have particularly poor records on human rights and international law, such as retired General Merrill McPeak, a backer of Indonesia's occupation of East Timor, and Dennis Ross, a supporter of Israel's occupation of the West Bank.
In contrast with Clinton's foreign policy advisers, virtually all of Obama's advisers opposed the Iraq war from the beginning. The Nation magazine noted that members of Obama's foreign policy team, who also tend to be younger than those of the former first lady, are "more likely to stress 'soft power' issues like human rights, global development and the dangers of failed states." As a result, "Obama may be more open to challenging old Washington assumptions and crafting new approaches."
Both Clinton and Edwards were outspoken supporters of President George W. Bush's request for Senate authorization to invade Iraq at the time and circumstances of his own choosing and were among the minority of Congressional Democrats to vote in favor of such authorization. Edwards was one of only six Democratic co-sponsors of the Senate resolution. Both Clinton and Edwards falsely claimed, despite the lack of any credible evidence, that Iraq had a dangerous arsenal of chemical and biological weapons, a nuclear weapons program, and sophisticated offensive delivery systems. Clinton went as far as falsely claiming that Iraq was actively supporting al-Qaeda. Both rejected the United States' legal obligation to uphold the United Nations Charter's prohibition against aggressive war.
Even after the U.S. invaded and occupied Iraq and the Bush administration acknowledged the absence of Iraqi WMDs and ties to Al-Qaeda, Clinton and Edwards continued to defend their support for the American conquest of that oil-rich country. Soon after he left the Senate in 2005, Edwards reversed his stance and formally apologized for his vote and his initial support for the war. Clinton, however, has refused to apologize to this day.
Obama, by contrast, opposed the war - even speaking at an anti-war rally in Chicago four months prior to the invasion - and argued that Iraq was not a threat to the United States or its neighbors.
Once he became a senator in 2005, however, Obama joined Clinton in supporting unconditional funding for the war, though he eventually began calling for a timetable for a withdrawal American troops, a position opposed by Clinton until last year. Both Obama and Clinton voted for the first time against Bush's war funding proposal this past May and have continued to vote against unconditional funding subsequently.
The three candidates' current positions on Iraq are markedly similar, all promising to begin withdrawing some troops immediately upon coming to office, but none promising to have all troops out by the end of their first term in 2013.
Based on the respective plans for Iraq they have put forward, however, Edwards and Obama are more likely to get more troops out sooner than would Clinton, who argues for a U.S. "military as well as political mission" in Iraq for the indefinite future for such purposes as countering Iranian influence, protecting the Kurdish minority, preventing a failed state, and supporting the Iraqi military. She also calls for a "continuing mission against al-Qaeda in Iraq" along with the obligation "to protect our civilian employees [and] our embassy." Since most estimates of the numbers of troops needed to carry out these tasks range between 40,000 and 75,000, the best that can be hoped for under a Hillary Clinton presidency is that she would withdraw only about one-half to two-thirds of American combat forces within a couple years of her assuming office. Edwards has called for an immediate reduction of forces and a complete withdrawal of combat troops within a year. However, he has called on maintaining sufficient military forces in Baghdad to protect the sprawling U.S. embassy complex as well American personnel elsewhere in that country. He has also called for sufficient U.S. military presence, perhaps in neighboring Kuwait, to "prevent genocide, a regional spillover of the civil war, or the establishment of an al Qaeda safe haven" as well as "a significant military presence in the Persian Gulf."
Obama argues that U.S. troops may need to maintain a "reduced but active presence," to "protect logistical supply points" and "American enclaves like the Green Zone" as well as "act as rapid reaction forces to respond to emergencies and go after terrorists," but has pledged to withdraw combat troops within 16 months. Obama recognizes the need to "make clear that we seek no permanent bases in Iraq" and has increasingly emphasized that most U.S. troops that remain in the area should be "over the horizon," such as in Kuwait, rather than in Iraq itself. He has called for diplomatic and humanitarian initiatives to address some of the underlying issues driving the ongoing conflicts and has also pledged to launch "a comprehensive regional and international diplomatic initiative to help broker an end of the civil war in Iraq, prevent its spread, and limit the suffering of the Iraqi people."
Both Clinton and Edwards argued, up until last year, that the Bush administration had not been tough enough against Iran. Clinton insisted several months ago that the White House "lost critical time in dealing with Iran," accusing the administration of choosing to "downplay the threats and to outsource the negotiations" as well as "standing on the sidelines." Similarly, Edwards told an Israeli audience last year that "the U.S. hasn't done enough to deal with what I have seen as a threat from Iran. As my country stayed on the sidelines, these problems got worse. To a large extent, the U.S. abdicated its responsibility to the Europeans. This was a mistake." Both Clinton and Edwards falsely accused Iran last year of having an active nuclear weapons program, demonstrating that neither had learned their lesson from naively believing the Bush administration's false accusations regarding Iraq's alleged nuclear weapons program five years earlier.
More recently, however, Clinton and Edwards have joined Obama in criticizing the Bush administration's threats of precipitous military strikes against Iran. Despite this, all three have refused to rule out as president taking unilateral U.S. military action against that country to prevent the Islamic Republic from obtaining nuclear weapons.
Clinton voted in favor of the Kyl-Lieberman amendment targeting Iran, which called for the United States to declare the largest branch of Iran's armed services to be a terrorist organization, which many interpreted as providing the Bush administration with a rationale for going to war. Her vote has been harshly criticized by both Edwards and Obama.
Meanwhile, Clinton has harshly criticized Obama for his calls for direct negotiations with Iran on areas of mutual concern, calling such diplomatic initiatives "naíve."
Israel and Its Neighbors:
All three candidates have defended Israel's ongoing repression against the Palestinians and Israel's 2006 war on Lebanon, as well as insisting that the onus of responsibility for the failure of the peace process lies with the Palestinians under occupation rather than the Israeli occupiers. Both Clinton and Edwards have defended Israel's settlement policy and the construction of a separation barrier deep inside the West Bank. Clinton has been the most outspoken of the three in supporting Israel's right- wing government and its violations of international humanitarian law and has gone as far as insisting Palestinian violence is not in reaction to the Israeli occupation, but simply a result of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel propaganda.
Edwards and Obama have been less visible in their support for Israeli policies than Clinton, and Obama has been somewhat more nuanced in his wording, such as also mentioning Israeli responsibilities in moving the peace process forward. In addition, Obama took a notably more moderate position regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict until a couple years ago, then allying more with the Israeli peace movement, but has swung well to the right, taking positions similar to Edwards and Clinton, since seeking national office.
Al-Qaeda, Afghanistan and Pakistan:
All three candidates support the war in Afghanistan, with both Clinton and Edwards joining other senators in voting in favor of authorizing military action against that country in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. All three call for an escalation in U.S. military operations in Afghanistan, though Edwards stresses the use of Special Forces for targeted commando strikes rather than simply increasing bombing and traditional combat units.
All three stress the need for applying diplomatic and economic pressure on Pakistan for greater cooperation on counter-terrorism issues and have threatened bombings and incursions into Pakistan to root out al-Qaeda cells.
On broader counter-terrorism issues, Edwards and Obama have emphasized improved intelligence and greater international cooperation as well as preventative measures, with Obama in particular calling for a vigorous policy to prevent the emergence of "failed states" and supporting dramatically-increased funding for sustainable development and education in areas prone to influence by radical Islamist ideologies.
Nuclear Weapons
All three candidates stress the importance of taking ballistic missiles off of their current hair-trigger alert status, lessening U.S. reliance on nuclear weapons, opposing the Bush administration's efforts to build a new generation of nuclear delivery systems and supporting a comprehensive test ban treaty. Clinton and Obama have criticized aspects of the Bush administration's missile defense program, but support the continued development of missile defense capabilities.
Obama and Edwards have called for the eventual elimination of all nuclear weapons. Edwards takes the strongest position on non-proliferation as a result of his opposition to nuclear power, but all three candidates maintain the Bush administration's double-standards, such as threatening Iran over simply the prospects of developing nuclear weapons while not opposing the already-existing nuclear arsenals of allies like India, Pakistan and Israel. Obama and Edwards have pledged to work vigorously to better secure the world's nuclear weapons materials and to negotiate with Russia and other nuclear powers for a dramatic reduction in nuclear stockpiles.
While Clinton has emphasized military means of deterring additional countries from developing nuclear weapons, Obama has emphasized U.S. obligations under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty to take serious steps towards disarmament, arguing, "As we do this, we'll be in a better position to lead the world in enforcing the rules of the road if we firmly abide by those rules. It's time to stop giving countries like Iran and North Korea an excuse."
Human Rights
Both Clinton and Edwards voted for a 2002 amendment that prohibits the United States from cooperating in any way with the International Criminal Court (ICC) in its prosecution of individuals responsible for serious crimes against humanity, restricts U.S. foreign aid to countries that support the ICC and authorizes the president of the United States to use military force to free individuals from the United States or allied countries detained by the ICC. Edwards has since reversed his position and now supports the United States joining the ICC while Clinton and Obama are open to eventual ratification if their alleged concerns regarding liability of U.S. armed services personnel are addressed.
All three candidates have displayed a tendency to exaggerate human rights abuses by regimes and movements opposed by the United States while minimizing human rights abuses by pro-U.S. regimes. Clinton has gone as far as sponsoring Senate resolutions explicitly contradicting findings of Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and other reputable human rights groups when they are critical of the policies of some U.S. allies.
Edwards has called for more aggressive international action against mass killings in places like Darfur and Uganda, though - as with Clinton and Obama - his record regarding repression by U.S.-backed regimes is decidedly mixed, with all three having supported as senators unconditional military aid to a number of governments engaged in human rights abuses. Edwards has called for dramatic increases in spending for development programs aimed at the world's poor, particularly in health care and education, as well as for an expansion of support for microcredit programs.
Obama has been quite critical of U.S. support for dictatorial regimes like Egypt and Saudi Arabia and has called for greater pressure on these governments to improve human rights, clean up corruption and support greater equality and social justice. Recognizing that, despite the rhetoric, the Bush administration has "done little to advance democracy around the world," Obama has promised to "focus on achieving concrete outcomes that will advance democracy." While calling for increased U.S. government financial support for independent institutions supporting pro-democracy movements abroad, he recognizes that "direct financial assistance from the U.S. government will not always be welcome or beneficial." He has also called for increased support - through foreign aid, debt relief, technical assistance and investment - for countries undergoing post-conflict and post-authoritarian transitions.

A-Z of John Lennon
I just thought I'd let you all know about a new project I've started over on the forum. It's an "A-Z of John Lennon" and I'm putting together as many facts and quotes as I can find about each of John's solo songs. I'm working through his songs in alphabetical order and have just finished Cold Turkey.

Review : Department of pharmacy in Bahauddin Zakriya University
As I am the student of this department so I know well about this. The teachers of this department are competent but not delivered lecture at the right time and the labs of the department are not fully equipped. The Faculty of Pharmacy, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan owes its origin to the Department of Pharmacy, established in 1976 in the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry & Pharmacy. Initially, it was housed in a rented building but later on it was shifted to a part of a borrowed building called Old Campus on Bosan Road, Multan. The Department moved to its present premises, the Pharmacy Block, at the University Campus in 1984.With the start of Department in 1976, a three year course for the degree of B.Pharmacy was launched, which was then replaced by a four year course in 1979 on the recommendations of the University Grants Commission (Now HEC). B. Pharmacy (four year program) has now been replaced by a five year program of Pharm.D. from the session 2003-2004. The program of studies for the degree of M.Phil. in the subject of Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Pharmaceutics was started in 1986 and M.Phil. in the subject of Pharmacology and Pharmacognosy have also been started in 1997. Ph.D. program is also offered by the Department. The Department after its establishment, gradually strengthened its academic programs as a result of which in 1992, it was given the status of a separate Faculty Faculty of Pharmacy. The Department houses modern laboratory facilities and is equipped with the following equipment/instruments: * HPLC * Power Lab for Pharmacological Studies * Rotary Evaporator * Fraction Collector * Freeze Dryer * Filtration Pump * Electric Incubators * Spectrophotometers (Digital and Electronics) * Rotary Compression Machine * Single Punch Machine * Disintigrator * Dissolution Apparatus An adequate collection of text books, reference books and research journals is available in the library of the Department/ Faculty covering various disciplines of Pharmacy. The books are also available to the students from the Book Bank of the University on loan basis. Internet facility is available in computer lab for maintaining high standards of education in Pharmacy.
