*"I can ride my Harley Davidson 1200cc Custom Sporty, thanks to Arthrem!"
BRONWYNLife on a dairy farm is not all about rearing calves or producing milk. At least not for Bronwyn who would walk her dogs 6 miles per day, run, ski and travel on the backseat of her partner's motorbike.
Yet when Bronwyn lost her mobility, these things became more difficult. So when she regained her mobility after taking Arthrem®, Bronwyn was determined to do something she never dreamed of before.
She rode her new Harley Davidson 1200 cc custom sporty for over 1,800 miles throughout New Zealand.
"Now thanks to Arthrem® I can ride my Harley Davidson 1200cc custom sporty. My biggest trip I rode over 3000 km's from Oamaru to Whangamata and back, the length of New Zealand.
I would have never dreamed I could do this without Arthrem®."
This is the story of how Bronwyn regained her mobility.
To say Bronwyn lived an active life is an understatement, at least compared to the average woman.
You see, Bronwyn reared 750 calves on a dairy farm. She would lift the calves and throw them from one pen to another. She would lift and carry heavy buckets of milk. She would take her dogs for long walks. And she'd run to keep in shape. Nothing in her life was a barrier to the physical challenges she faced each day.
Then one day Bronwyn began to notice joint stiffness in her hands and feet. Then it spread to her hips. Suddenly Bronwyn went from leading an active life to being unable to do most things that required moving her joints.
Her brain said she could do it, but her body could not, no matter how hard she tried.
Instead of taking long walks, Bronwyn now could only go on short strolls about 10% of what she did before. She was unable lift the calves or carry buckets of milk.
She wasn't even 40. Yet she was feeling like 60. And she was petrified of what the future would look like for her.
Then one day her pharmacist suggested Arthrem® for three months. Within the first two weeks, Bronwyn saw a big difference in her mobility and flexibility. And her partner Carl noticed the difference too.
Gradually Bronwyn started to feel a lot more herself for the first time in over two years. She was able to do a lot more on the farm again. She was able to attend to the calves. She could lift and carry the milk. And she would go on long walks with her dogs.
Most of all, she was able to enjoy life.
"I certainly would recommend Arthrem® to any person that has joint mobility and stiffness issues…
the difference it made for me is quite substantial; I've actually got a life now."
Before Bronwyn had joint discomfort she would jump on the back of Carl's motorbike and go for a ride with him.
Yet after she started to take Arthrem®, Bronwyn decided to ride her own Harley Davidson. She challenged herself to do new things.
Then Carl suggested they ride their motor bikes 1,000 miles to the north island up to Whangamata. At first Carl thought Bronwyn would not be able to do it. Yet with the help of Arthrem®, Bronwyn exceeded both of their expectations. They rode 1,800 miles. Bronwyn had no discomfort in her joints.
Today, Bronwyn and Carl enjoy riding their bikes and Bronwyn enjoys coming back home to work on their dairy farm.

text: Don Porcella embraces the materials and processes of arts and crafts to make his eerily playful works. His signature creations are surrealistic figurative sculptures made entirely of woven, colorful pipe cleaners, as in Take Me to Your Leader (2011), a condor, mid-flight, carrying a bespectacled man/rat hybrid in its talons. He also creates original encaustic paints, mixing pigments and waxes to create otherworldly compositions that are at once humorous and profoundly unsettling. For Porcella, who claims formative influence from Outsider Art, nature, and science fiction, this subversive repurposing of materials is a commentary on American consumerism. "Growing up in suburban Modesto, California forced me to see and live my life through strip malls and shopping mall culture, and this past is still a sublime source of inspiration to me," he says.

Trouble Forwarding Ports
Hello Forums, I Seem to be having trouble forwarding my ports, My router model is a D-Link DIR-615. (If needed by PC Specs are down below) When i go into my router and i forward the ports, the forwarding doesn't work, Here is what i know
-Computer IP Is the correct IP that the port is being forwarded too
-Windows Firewall is Off
-Restarting the Router/Computer Multiple Times
-The router says the ports are forwarded
-I have forwarded the ports to a laptop of mine and that seemed to work
-I tested the ports on this site Open Port Check Tool - Test Port Forwarding on Your Router
-That site told me that the forwarding to my laptop worked, but not to my desktop
Could anyone help me?

When you forward a port lets say port number 22 for an ssh connection you have to specify an ip address lets say 192.168.2.1. Now if you use your external ip address with port 22 it will look for 192.168.2.1 listening for a connection. If you're on 192.168.2.5 the port will not be forwarded to the computer. It will only go to 192.168.2.1.
I hope that make since it sounds like you did it right for your laptops ip addresss

Does the target computer have a fixed local IP? It needs to be static for port forwarding to work with the correct computer.
Also, you can try doing a telnet to your public IP on the targeted port to test if anything respond to the connection. If the laptop is still answering it, most likely you have mixed the IPs of the computers, or if nothing does, maybe an antivirus/firewall is blocking it.

Key Points
This was a claim by the claimant, Findcharm Limited ("Findcharm"), who operates a restaurant within the Churchill Hotel in Portman Square. The hotel is owned/operated by the defendant ("Churchill"). In November 2014, there was a gas explosion at the hotel which closed the restaurant for about four months. Findcharm claimed against Churchill the costs arising out of that explosion. The claim was put at £820,000 plus interest.
The Judge characterised Churchill's defence as a "combination of bare denials and non-admissions of the kind that the Civil Procedure Rules was designed to sweep away.... it is, bluntly, an insurer's defence straight out of the 1970's. For example, despite the fact that the explosion happened in its hotel, Churchill does not even formally admit the cause of that explosion."
The matter proceeded to a Costs and Case Management Hearing on 12 May 2017. At the outset of the hearing Coulson J made the following observations:
"It is a fact of life for all judges who undertake Case Management Conferences, at whatever level, that they are obliged to spend more time on them than used to be the case, in order to deal with cost budgeting disputes. A number of steps have recently been taken to try and make the process more user-friendly and more efficient for the court. In particular, the introduction of Precedent R, which requires each party to comment on the cost budget of the other, has led to a great saving of time, because it has obliged the parties to adopt a realistic attitude to the budget of the other side, and has assisted in the identification of the real disputes between the parties on costs
"However, even now, some parties seem to treat cost budgeting as a form of game, in which they can seek to exploit the cost budgeting rules in the hope of obtaining a tactical advantage over the other side. In extreme cases, this can lead one side to offer very low figures in their Precedent R, in the hope that the court may be tempted to calculate its own amount, somewhere between the wildly different sets of figures put forward by the parties. Unhappily, this case is, in my view, an example of that approach."
Findcharm's budget amounted to £244,676.30. This figure assumed that no expert evidence would be necessary to deal with the cause of the explosion, because no positive defence on that issue had been pleaded by Churchill. It also assumed a single joint accountancy expert to address the loss of profit claim.
The case proceeded on the basis that no expert evidence on this topic would be required and that a single joint expert was appropriate. The Judge ruled that it was reasonable for Findcharm's cost budget to be based on those two assumptions.
Churchill's cost budget was in the sum of £79,371.23. Coulson J made the following specific observations concerning the budget:
"Even on Churchill's own case, it seems erroneous on its face. For example, it allows nothing at all for fire experts, even though at the CMC Churchill were arguing that causation was in issue and an expert was necessary. It also purports to estimate a sum of less than £7,000 for the preparation of a High Court trial. It is therefore, on any view, an unrealistically low budget. However, since Churchill have put it forward, Findcharm have (not unreasonably) agreed it. The sum of £79,371.23 is therefore the approved cost budget figure for Churchill.
"In that same vein, through their Precedent R, Churchill have offered just £46,900 in respect of the estimated costs to be incurred by Findcharm. When that is added to the costs that Findcharm have already incurred, that comes to less than £90,000 altogether."
In more general terms, the Judge continued:
"In my view, Churchill's Precedent R is of no utility. It is completely unrealistic. It is designed to put as low a figure as possible on every stage of the process, without justification, in the hope that the court's subsequent assessment will also be low. In my view, therefore, it is an abuse of the cost budgeting process. I make clear that none of this is intended to be a criticism of Ms Akyol, the solicitor at Kennedys who appears this morning, because she told me that both Churchill's cost budget, and its Precedent R, were prepared by Kennedys' costs department. It is, unfortunately, a criticism of them."
He went on to give some examples of the "lack of reality" in Churchill's Precedent R:
The Judge disregarded Churchill's Precedent R and allowed Findcharm's budget as claimed on grounds that it was both proportionate and reasonable.

SUMMIT, NJ - Goalie Sam Bebout has been a rock for Summit all season long, and he was again in the Hilltoppers match-up versus Northern Highlands. The senior made 12 saves, many of them spectacular, as the Summit High School Boys Varsity Lacrosse team captured the Sectional Championship with a 6-2 victory.
May 24, 2014 at 11:46 PM
May 24, 2014 at 11:46 PM
The Hilltoppers win sets up a group championship match against Somerville May 28 at Ridge High School. A win there sends Summit to the Tournament of Champions.
Northern Highlands came out strong and got on the scoreboard first, but Summit soon responded with consecutive goals to take the lead. Summit was getting the ball courtesy of Brian Hadley, who won all but one face-off on the day, but both teams were playing strong defensively, and it was clear that goals would come at a premium.
Connor Murphy powered a low, underhand screamer to tie the game, and Matt Fischetti, on a solo cut from the left side, gave the Hilltoppers a lead they would never relinquish. Bebout stoned a Highlanders scoring chance in the last 20 seconds, and the quarter ended with Summit up 2-1
Bebout made a couple of more stellar stops, before Fischetti finished a beautiful tic-tac-toe passing play that culminated with James Strabley finding the Captain for the score. Halftime arrived with Summit leading 3-1.
The third quarter included more fine work from Bebout, and Summit goals from Strabley and John Cordrey. Strabley lasered in a low shot from the right hand side, and Cordrey finished nicely after a solo dodge from behind the goal gave him space in front of the crease.
The fourth quarter featured a goal from each team, Highlands cutting the lead to 5-2, only to get pegged back as Kyle Waldron scored off a feed from Murphy.
The game out of reach in the final two minutes, the Highlanders took the low road, picking up several penalties, including a reckless hit on Strabley by the Highlands goalie. Unfazed by the violent collision, Stabley nearly scored on the re-start.
"We were more select with the ball today as we wanted to limited Highlands possession," said Summit Head Coach Jim Davidson. "We made some offensive adjustments, and I thought we did a good job 6-on-6 and in transition, and Sam had a great game."

Francis W Peabody said: "… the secret of the care of the patient is in caring for the patient"
I am a primary care physician to adults and children, forging long-term relationships with my patients and their families, as their doctor from birth to death. I am board-certified in internal medicine and pediatrics.
My mission in medicine is four-fold: to provide empathetic and expert patient care, to teach and train the next generation of physicians, research and global health.
I practice in UBMD's Division of Internal Medicine at Conventus-- part of the Buffalo Niagara medical campus. I therefore offer easy access primary care to all staff and students in the medical campus, and their families.
I have a Ph.D. in biochemistry and worked for a decade as a scientist and professor. I therefore have an interest in genetic and metabolic disorders. I led adult cystic fibrosis care for five years at the Marshfield Clinic in Wisconsin. I continue to provide care to patients with these congenital diseases.
I have a decade of experience in training different learners in the outpatient setting, on international medical mission trips and in the hospital.
My research is on bacteriophages -- their role in the microbiome of the respiratory tract and in genomic predictors of pathogenicity in bacteria. I also do research on problems I have seen in my patient population – suicidal ideation and risk in high school students and obesity in children.
I believe a good history and physical exam can reduce needless testing in the search for a diagnosis. My skills have been honed by practice in Africa and Latin America. I was a short-term Ebola Clinician in Sierra Leone during the 2014-2015 outbreak and remain committed to delivering healthcare internationally.
I offer primary care support to specialty services and welcome learners and collaborators in our mission to provide excellent healthcare to populations locally and globally.

Roundtable: Troubles At Qualcomm, San Ysidro School District, SeaWorld And The San Diego River

The Story
San Diego-based Qualcomm Inc., is a major player in the global semi-conductor industry.
It is also the current object of desire of Hock Tan, the acquisitions-minded CEO of tech giant Broadcom Ltd. This week he offered to swallow Qualcomm for $103 billion in stock and cash, or $70 a share ($60 in cash, $10 in Broadcom stock).
There are worries that, if successful, Tan would break up the company to sell for parts, that Broadcom wouldn't invest enough in research and development, or that he would simply relocate it.
Tan, however, said Broadcom is "very committed to San Diego."
The Discussion
-What is Qualcomm's history in San Diego?
-What impact have Qualcomm and its founders had on San Diego?
-How important is Qualcomm to San Diego's economy and image?
RELATED: Broadcom CEO Hock Tan talks Qualcomm takeover bid, calls offer compelling for shareholders
The Story
In a nutshell: San Ysidro School District is one of the poorest in San Diego County, yet it paid its former superintendent, Julio Fonseca, about $1 million in total compensation over the last two years.
His compensation made him the highest-paid superintendent in the county and the second highest in the state.
In 2015, the year it hired Fonseca, San Ysidro had almost worked its way out of both a scandal and a financial hole. Then it declared a nearly $1 million budget shortfall in fiscal year 2016-2017.
In recent months there have been more scandals, the resignations of Fonseca and his replacement, an expensive settlement, a lawsuit filed by attorney Cory Briggs and a request for an "extraordinary state audit" of San Ysidro's finances by the San Diego County Office of Education.
The Discussion
-How did SYSD's board members not notice the scope of Fonseca's compensation?
-Could this lead to a state takeover?
RELATED: Ex-San Ysidro school superintendent's compensation makes him highest paid in county, second highest in state

The Story
SeaWorld has been unable to reverse a slide in attendance, which declined 9 percent company wide in the third quarter.
Falling revenue and attendance in Florida and Texas are due to recent hurricanes. In San Diego, however, they are caused by perception.
The 2013 film "Blackfish," about the orca that killed a trainer at SeaWorld in Orlando, was thought by SeaWorld executives to be potentially bad for business, a concern they kept from stockholders.
The Discussion
-What can SeaWorld do to change its image in California, or is that a lost cause?
-Are investors suing?
RELATED: SeaWorld unable to reverse continued attendance slide
RELATED: SeaWorld emails show execs knew "Blackfish" bad for business before telling investors
The Story
Many of the homeless who put up tents in downtown San Diego have been cleared out by the police and have moved to camps along the San Diego River.
But the camps are unsanitary, with piles of trash and drug paraphernalia and human waste everywhere.
The San Diego River Foundation, which is working toward restoring the river and creating a system of trails, says there have been homeless living along the river for many years but believes the number of camps has nearly doubled in the last year.
The Discussion
-What impacts are recent efforts to temporarily house the homeless having?
-What are the chances the Chargers' former training facility in Murphy Canyon will be used to house the homeless?

A place to ponder
and I hope the chemistry in my head made a good decision for me this time because I am getting a bit fed up with it messing everything up for me. I'll give it a stern talking to.

It's when we have a secure job, a loving family,in a nice, permanent home,that we can sit comfortably, at break time and, while sipping a good coffee, indulge in the luxury of pondering all those worrying thoughts about who we are (if we really are), and where we're being led (if we think we're not in charge.)
Most deep philosophers never had to sleep on the street, beg for a bite to eat, and hope not to be kicked out of the restaurant bathroom they are illegitimately using.
That's my frequent observation when I read the interesting "Who am I?" essays in the Jean Paul Sartre category.

Absolutely right Claude, but the validity of questioning and pondering remains, especially the questioning.

Explore the stunning scenery of the Canadian Rockies
Canada's Rocky Mountains provides a stunning landscape of craggy, towering rock-faces, snow-capped mountains, thick forests and iridescent lakes. Wander the streets of Vancouver, ferry through Haro Straight to Victoria and roam the colourful Butchart Gardens on Vancouver Island. Hike or bike the breathtaking trails of Whistler, Sun Peaks, Jasper, and Banff, canoe across the turquoise calm of Lake Louise, or wrap your hands around a mug of hot chocolate while admiring the superb alpine scenery of the Rockies. Ready for a grand adventure? Jump aboard and witness the sheer beauty of this exceptional part of the world.
Discover one of the most awe-inspiring mountain ranges in the world: the great Canadian Rockies. The Icefields Parkway between Jasper and Banff is one of the most scenic drives on Earth. Sit back and enjoy the ride, without the hassle of driving
Explore the stunning floral displays at Victoria's Butchart Gardens. Whether it's roses of summer or tulips in spring, the gardens are lovely at any time of year
Climb aboard the epic PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola and be transported from Whistler to the Blackcomb Mountains, keeping an eye out for black bears in the forest below. There are some fantastic hikes at the top of both mountains
Ride a canoe to an outpost of Sun Peaks and enjoy a four-course meal in the style of the old fur traders
Calgary's ambitious, creative dining scene is rapidly developing an international reputation. Indulge in an included dinner with your guide and new travel friends at one of the city's best restaurants
See the turquoise waters of Lake Louise for yourself and cross off one of those must-see bucket list experiences
This part of the world is home to extraordinary wildlife. Keep an eye out for elk, black bears, grizzly bears, eagles, Rocky Mountain goats, and if you're lucky, beavers, wolves and moose. It isn't unusual to see these beautiful animals grazing by the side of the road
This trip covers a lot of ground, as Canada is a huge country. Please be prepared for some long days of driving. The drive between Sun Peaks and Jasper, for example, takes around six hours.
You'll be spending a lot of time in a van with other travellers. Free space is limited, especially if the group is full. This is all part of the adventure though and you might even make some long-term friends.
As we're travelling through the mountains, the weather can be unpredictable. We advise wearing layers at all times of the year in case conditions change during the day. At night the temperature can really drop, so make sure you have warm clothing with you.
In summer, especially in July and August, be prepared for insects. This is mosquito and black fly season so it's important to bring insect repellEnt, as this should help prevent you from being bitten.
Canada is becoming increasingly popular, and this increase in visitors is putting a lot of pressure on accommodation. As a result, it can be difficult to strike a balance between price, location and quality and we sometimes have to sacrifice one for the others. There may be times when your hotel is a little bit out from the centre of town. At other times it may be a little bit more simple than what you are expecting on a Comfort trip. Your accommodation should still be clean and comfortable however, and if you are located slightly out of town, your leader will assist in shuttling you back and forth.
This itinerary is valid for departures from 01 January 2019 to 31 December 2019. View the itinerary for departures between 01 January 2018 - 31 December 2018

Our Grand Canadian Rockies trips score an average of 4.74 out of 5 based on 27 reviews in the last year.
Intrepid offer excellent trips to suit everyone's interests and budgets. My best advice is to just throw yourself in the deep end and enjoy. All of your trip buddies are just as excited as you are to travel to beautiful places and if you are alone like I was, this is a great chance to make friends and explore the world. Take advantage of all of the included activities and most of the optional activities also - if it looks a bit expensive, ask yourself 'Will I regret not doing this?' If the answer is 'YES!' Go for it on everything, with the exception of bankrupting yourself of course! Enjoy your trip and take thousands of photos, we might run into each other on one and I will be dying to take a look at them :-)

What is Accreditation?
Why are there so few recognized programs when other places claim to educate opticians?
Accreditation is a guarantee that the program you are taking will teach you everything you need to know to succeed in your field. The Diploma Programs listed on our Recognized Programs page have undergone extensive evaluation by the National Accreditation Committee of Opticians (NACO), a regulatory agency that ensures Optician programs meet education standards.
After you finish school, you will be required to take the NACOR exam. This exam will test you on the knowledge and skills needed to be a competent optician. Accredited programs will fully prepare you for the NACOR, and of course, for being an optician.
How Does a Program Become Accredited?
Can we be certain that the accredited program is as good as it claims to be?
Step One: Task Analysis.
A Task Analysis is performed to discover what opticians need to learn. The Task Analysis is a survey of the tasks performed by opticians in Canada.
Step Two: Competency Development.
Using the Task Analysis, a panel of experts determines what skills an optician needs in order to perform their job accurately and efficiently. Even though some skills are used less often, it is still important to prepare opticians for anything they may encounter.
Step Three: Delivery and Curriculum Design.
We deliver the Competencies to the teaching institutions that wish to develop a program for opticians. The schools must then design their own curriculum that meets all of the requirements laid out in the Competencies. This ensures that students are properly trained.
Step Four: Review.
NACO reviews the curriculum created by the school, and determines if it meets Competency standards. If the curriculum design is lacking, or if NACO believes that students graduating from the proposed program will be unable to safely and effectively perform their duties as opticians, the program will not receive accreditation.
Why Choose an Accredited Program?
Why spend the time and energy on a two-year program when you could do it in six months?
We understand your frustration. Programs trying to entice you with the promise of quick study can be tempting. But unfortunately, they can't teach you everything you need to know in such a short time. A non-accredited program might seem like a time-saving alternative, even if it costs a little more. But the time and money you will spend to supplement your education because you have not learned everything you need to know, simply is not worth it.
We are a regulated health profession, therefore we cannot accept less than our Standards of Practice. In order to register as an optician in Alberta, you must meet all of the competency requirements and pass the NACOR exam. Unfortunately, non-accredited programs cannot guarantee you the full breadth of education you will need to do this.
What to Do About Non-Accredited Education
It's too late to go back, so what can you do now?
Maybe you started your education journey without checking here first. You were just so excited to become an optician that you signed up for the first class you could find, not realizing the difference between accredited and non-accredited programs.
If you have not yet completed any Opticianry training, we HIGHLY recommend that you choose one of the recognized accredited programs. For instance, NAIT offers a Diploma program that you can take online. So you don't need to physically attend a school to become an optician.
However, if you have already attended a non-accredited institution and then found out that you cannot become an optician with the education you have received, please visit our Non-Accredited Education page for the steps you can take next.

Our job is to help you become your own gardener and show you how to cultivate great health and vitality.

… loosen the hair and have a relaxed bearing
September is such a busy month, with acupuncture and herbal medicine seminars, peer reviews and renewed focus and energy for ideas and projects.
During a recent online forum, Robin Marchment shared this gem.
It's a beautiful counterpoint to the busyness of the season.
Great discourse on the four seasons and harmonising the spirit
春三月, The three months of spring
此谓发陈,this is called burgeoning
天地俱生,heaven and earth both give birth
万物以荣。So 10,000 things flourish.
夜卧早起,Lie down at night and rise in the morning,
广步于庭,take long strides in the courtyard,
被发缓形,loosen the hair and have a relaxed bearing,
以使志生。and thus enable the aspiration to live.
生而勿杀,Let live and don't kill,
予而勿夺,give and don't take,
赏而勿罚。reward and don't punish.
此春气之应,This corresponds to the qi of spring,
养生之道也。the right path to cultivate life.
逆之则伤肝,To do opposite will damage the liver,
夏为寒变。and in summer one will feel cold.
奉长者少。With insufficient basis to support growth.

What does "spring" mean to you?
What does spring time mean to you?
Newness and all that's fresh and enlivening?
Quiet times in nature, or pottering in the garden?
Cooking up a storm with abundant fresh produce?
The torments of hay fever or asthma? (and yes, acupuncture and herbal medicine may help with either of these conditions)
Feel free to share the best and worst of your spring time experiences with us.

Bears in there? We're Wildlife Aware
From the Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association Ltd
You may have seen last night's Channel 7 Sunday Night feature on "Something About Mary" which informed viewers of Mary Hutton's story. Mary is the founder of the 'Free the Bears Fund Inc' (www.freethebears.org.au) and has made it her mission to protect various species of bears in Asia from being captivated and used for entertainment and medicinal purposes. The use of bear bile was a focus in the feature with reporter Alex Cullen bringing attention to the practices of some restaurants in South East Asia whose patrons "have lunch, see bears and buy their bile".
The Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association Ltd (AACMA) is opposed to the medical, cosmetic or other use of bear bile and other illegal products derived from endangered species. There are many herbal alternatives to the use of bear bile and therefore there is no justification for bear farming. AACMA is committed to raising the level of awareness, education and compliance with the legal requirements associated with the international wildlife trade through the Australian government funded Endangered Species Certification Scheme (www.acupuncture.org.au/escs.cfm) and does not support the use of Chinese medicines containing illegally traded wildlife ingredients.
AACMA CEO, Judy James, said "Traditional Chinese Medicine is one of the great global medical systems with an uninterrupted history of use and development spanning 1000s of years. The Traditional Chinese Medicine profession does not need to cage, farm, kill or use bears in order to provide effective and natural healthcare. The international trade in products containing bear parts is illegal and AACMA opposes their use for any medical or cosmetic purposes."
To read the AACMA's full media release please visit http://www.acupuncture.org.au/media.cfm

To view the video visit http://au.tv.yahoo.com/sunday-night/video/#fop
A member of this Association, I fully support and conform to AACMA's ethical standards and codes of professional conduct, and similarly oppose the use of illegal products – in particular animal products – in our medicines.
Only herbal medicines are prescribed in my practice.

Asparagus. A cure for road-rage, rampaging and ranting?
Spring is upon us in this great land down-under, and springtime means fresh asparagus. Don't be fooled into thinking this classy vegetable grows naturally all year round. It doesn't. It's one of nature's sublime springtime treats, best when its hidden, subterranean parts had the pleasure of a good, cold winter.
So what about the road-raging and ranting? Is there a natural sedative in the pert spears of an asparagus bunch?
Well, not that I know of, yet in Chinese herbal medicine its underground tuber is described by Paul Pitchford as able to "improve the feminine principle, especially in the aggressive person, and is used to ease menstrual difficulties, promote fertility, and increase one's receptive and compassionate nature." He s not just talking about women, by the way!
The ritual of preparing and cooking fresh asparagus to perfection, enjoyed with a strip of smoked salmon and a soft-boiled egg might at least slow us down, and give cause for gratitude to mother nature for her spring bounty. Perhaps compassion follows such a dainty feast?
Here's what else we know about fresh asparagus – not that sad, soggy stuff in cans:
- It has a natural diuretic, making it an ideal food to naturally shift a little fluid retention
- When fresh and seasonal, it has good amounts of vitamin C and A, sulphur, folic acid, and potassium, and is naturally low in kilojoules and sodium.
- it also contains an amino acid – a protein building block – called asparagine, which gives urine that unusual smell after we've eaten asparagus.
We understand that in Chinese medical terms, asparagus nourishes the cooling, calming, restorative nature of Yin energy. No surprises there, for a food which spent the winter slumbering and gestating underground, away from Yang warmth and light.
Did you know that the little tips of asparagus are actually its flowers, and that aged Parmesan is a great friend to asparagus?
If you live in Brisbane Australia, and would like to learn how to cook slow-roasted Kealford Farm Organic Pork with spring asparagus on a cauliflower and white bean mash, and many other seasonal wonders contact me.
My colleague Jillaine Wheeler – The Pantry Practitioner – is cooking this, and other family friendly fare in a cooking class this September. There's also an artichoke and aioli starter, a wild salmon rillette, deeply nourishing, creamy green ice cream, and organic, preservative-free rose on the menu. I hope you can join us.
How do you like to serve and enjoy asparagus? Are you lucky enough to live in a place where fat,white asparagus is common? Let us know with a comment.

My on-going professional development is good for you
Like all health professionals, natural medicine practitioners must dedicate themselves to a life-time of observation, study, and inquiry.
The benefits to our patients and clients are innumerable.
This year I spent a semester tutoring 2nd year acupuncture students. Imparting one's knowledge, and needing to be ten steps ahead of our students kept me on my toes, and honest!
I regularly participate in an international discussion group of scholars and practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
This year we've explored – amongst other things – difficult and tricky cases, H1N1 flu prevention and management, health reform, and the history of our medicine. I am in esteemed company there, and am regularly in awe of the accumulated knowledge, wisdom and experience of many contributors.
The year's activities enabled me to reflect upon my style of practice, and the individualised care and attention I offer to people.
I'm confident the ability to understand and respect natural and traditional medicine without disregarding the discoveries of bio-medicine is not only safe and effective, it is the medicine of the future.

Premium jams
Besides saffron we also cultivate fruits with which we make delicious premium jams.
Why choose our jams? For the dedication and love with which we take care of our plants, because every morning the fruits, when they are fully mature, are hand-picked and immediately processed, therefore there are no stages in cold storage which can alter the taste of the fruit. Because in our jams there is only a lot of fruit and a very low-sugar content, no preservatives or thickeners.
The cultivation of blueberries, blackberries and raspberries, is based on different varieties of plants through which we get a progressive flowering. This choice allows us to have the ripening of the fruit distributed throughout the season and give us the opportunity to transform the daily harvested fruit and guarantees the high quality of our products. The planted strawberries are of a specific variety crossed with a wild strawberry, the "Mara des bois", small and sweet, it really is an extraordinary strawberry. Other delicious jams are made with mixed berries, nectarines and also apricots, for which we use an old and very tasty local cultivar, the "Tonda di Costigliole".
All flavours are available in sizes 100g and 200g, in addition to 25g single-portions designed for serving in B&Bs, holiday farms and hotels.

Echoes across the Pond: Understanding EU-US Defense Industrial Relationships

This report represents the authors'' efforts to provide a useful, albeit partial, understanding of the international defense marketplace '' which we view as changing toward increasing complexity. In pursuit of that objective, we provide a brief overview of international defense markets in the context of both changes in military affairs and the various defense industrial bases. In analyzing the defense market, we essay multiple analytical frameworks (along the lines of Essence of Decision). Our analytical models are (a) a sophisticated view of offsets in a public policy context with market imperfections, (b) transaction cost economics with our unit of analysis being the nation-state instead of the firm, and (c) two standard corporate strategy models. To test the models'' explanatory powers, we consider three ongoing ''cases'': F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the UK Defence Industrial Strategy, and the Northrop Grumman-EADS KC-30 proposal. Interestingly we find all three hypotheses have some explanatory power, but none of the three is demonstrably better than the others (in this small sample).

|Angelina talks untitled Jolie/Pitt project
It won't be a sequel to their 2007 hit Mr. & Mrs. Smith, but Angelina Jolie and her fiancé Brad Pitt are making plans to team up again on the big screen.
"I wrote something a few years ago for Brad and me. Just for fun," the Oscar-winning actress says in the latest issue of People.
"Just an independent little art piece. Because we don't get to do those as much as we'd like. But it's something really small and experimental."

There are many reasons why we can feel tight and closed in the area of our heart: the chest to the front and the mid (thoracic) spine at the back of our bodies. On a structural level, poor posture caused by too many hours spent slumped in front of a computer will round the upper back, draw the shoulders forwards and collapse the chest. In this position is it impossible to breathe properly and allow our lungs to function optimally. If left uncorrected, eventually the soft tissues around the ribcage will become tight, making proper breathing even more difficult.
In yoga, the term heart centre relates not to the physical beating heart, but to the place in the centre of our chest that is home to emotion and feelings. When we look at a closed heart centre from a psychosomatic perspective, it is common to see this rounding forwards of the shoulders when a person is in self-protection mode, as this creates 'armour' around the heart region. If this pattern of holding the physical body becomes chronic, it can be hard to shift these feelings of wanting to protect ourselves unless we learn to break down this rigid armour.
Yoga postures that open the heart and chest area include shoulder and chest opening stretches, spinal twists and spinal extensions (back bends). Here are a few simple ways to undo tension in this area, making way to better breathing, improved posture and an open, receptive heart:
Conscious deep breathing
Sit in comfortably in a chair with your spine upright, shoulders relaxed and the back of your neck long. Alternatively, lie yourself down placing support under your head if you need to.
Close your eyes and become aware of your breathing. Notice if your breath is high in your chest; is there any movement in your ribcage or abdomen? Is the breath irregular or shallow?
Now place a hand on your upper abdomen, between the navel and the sternum. Breathe slowly into your abdomen so that as you inhale, you feel the hand rising and as you exhale the abdomen softens. Remain here for several deep breaths.
Now place each hand on the lower portion of your side ribs and encourage your breath to expand the ribcage sideways into your hands on the inhalation, and allow the ribcage to soften again on your exhalation. Perhaps you can also feel your breath in your lower back ribs. Remain here for several deep breaths.
Bring one hand to rest lightly on your upper chest underneath your collarbones and practice deep breathing into the upper chest, feeling the breath expanding and releasing this area. Take several deep breaths.
Then rest your arms by your sides and recreate this feeling of expanding the upper abdomen, ribcage and chest with each inhalation. Allow a feeling of releasing and softening on the exhalation. Try to remain aware of each inhalation and exhalation.
After a few minutes, relax. Allow your breath to become natural and spontaneous, noticing if there is a change in the rhythm and depth of your breath from before you began this conscious breathing exercise. Notice if you feel more calm and relaxed.
Note: Always breathe in and out through your nostrils. Never force or strain your breath. It may take some time before you can fully expand your ribcage and chest, but with practice it will become easier.
Benefits: conscious and correct breathing is one of the most important practices for good health and managing stress levels. Your respiratory muscles will be fully utilised, undoing areas of chronic tension and rigidity in the thoracic area.
Simple supported chest opener
Roll up a towel or blanket into a cylinder shape and place across your yoga mat or on the floor. Lie down on your back so that the support is positioned underneath your shoulder blades.
You may need to experiment with the thickness of your support – if you are very tight in your chest and upper back then you need a slimmer support to begin with. You should feel that your chest is gently expanding. Check that your neck feels comfortable; you may also need to place some support underneath your head. Find a comfortable position for your arms.
Relax and close your eyes. As you rest here, breathe deeply and notice how your heart area feels expanded, open and light.
Stay for at least 3 minutes.
Benefits: A restorative way to correct poor posture of rounding the upper body forwards. The effect is gently uplifting and refreshing.

February sees Cupid draw back his bow and shoot an arrow straight through the heart, or so the song goes. Love is intrinsically good for us and good for our hearts. It is one of the things that make us human. You could even say consciousness is love, or love is a large part of consciousness; love of sweethearts, love of family, love of friends, love of what we do, love of being alive, and of course love of the self.
In Chinese medicine joy is the emotion of the heart, and the spirit (or shen) is said to reside in the heart. This aspect of spirit refers to emotional intelligence, or the intuitive feeling part of consciousness which is stored in the heart. So often we treat the heart and pericardium channels in acupuncture to affect problems with the spirit or mind.
Problems such as depression, panic attacks, forgetfulness, anxiety, palpitations and insomnia, all show that the heart organ, or the fire element is out of balance.
Insomnia is a very common problem people seek acupuncture for and is a classic sign the heart energy is not settled. In Chinese medicine the shen is said to be anchored by the yin of the material blood. i.e. when you fall asleep there is enough blood to pull down and ground the spinning yang activity of the mind and produce that delicious moment where you fall asleep. When there is a lack of heart blood, the thoughts continue to spin around and around for hours, or one falls asleep but for an insufficient time and the shen pops awake again at 3 in the morning bright as a button. Heat can also be involved in agitating the shen or depleting the yin (fluids and blood) and contributing to insomnia.
So treating the heart is often key to insomnia and most problems where we feel too much or too little. The heart is known as the Emperor in Chinese medicine because it is where the spirit resides. It is through our spirit that we perceive ourselves and others and interact with the world around us.
So if my heart is happy, I love myself and my experience of life is better.
So more love the better right? Why not take the next 30 seconds out to complete this life changing exercise! It's simple and free and nobody will know you are doing it so you won't feel silly! Just close your eyes (after you`ve read this) sink your awareness down inside your chest, midway between the breast bone and spine and just become aware of your breath. Just focus on the rising and falling of the chest and relax. Then, when you're ready, just look down with your mind's eye and smile. Not with your mouth but just with the same feeling a smile would create. An inner smile. Smile at your heart and feel good. Now you have connected to your heart energy feel free to affirm anything you want. Don't forget to say I Love you, it is Valentine's Day soon after all!

Out of all the muscles in your body, the hardest working of all is your heart. It beats around 70 times per minute which is about 100, 000 time per day as it continuously pumps blood around your body delivering oxygen and other essential nutrients to your organs and tissues. It also helps remove waste products so your body can function properly.
How exactly does your heart work?
Your heart consists of four chambers and operates as a double pump. Deoxygenated blood is returned to the right side of the heart via the venous system where it first enters the right atrium and then the right ventricle, which in turn pumps blood to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries.
On reaching the lungs, a process known as gaseous exchange occurs where carbon dioxide is removed from the blood and replaced with fresh oxygen. This newly oxygenated blood returns to the left side of the heart via the pulmonary veins and passes through the left atrium into the left ventricle from where it is pumped into the aorta. This artery then divides into smaller and smaller branches so blood reaches every part of your body.
To have good cardiovascular health, both your heart and your blood vessels need to work efficiently.
As any plumber would tell you, plumbing has a tendency to go wrong over time. Pipes fur up, spring a leak, get blocked and can, in the worse case scenario, lead to expensive boiler problems!
Frankly, many parallels can be drawn between this and your cardiovascular health, which also needs regular maintenance and annual check ups. As we get older our arteries can also fur up and narrow leading to high blood pressure. This puts more stress on the heart and makes the vascular system more prone to damage increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. So is there anything that you can do to prevent this happening?
There are certain things about you and your lifestyle that can increase your chances of developing heart problems. These are called risk factors, which can be divided into two groups – those you can do something about and those you can't.
The risk factors that you can't change include having a family history of cardiovascular disease, your ethic background and your age.
The good news, however, is that there are lots of ways of reducing this risk. Prevention really is the key and by making some lifestyle changes now you can help keep your heart healthy. Here are some ways that you can start to do this.
By eating a healthier diet
A healthy diet can help reduce your risk of developing heart disease and stop you gaining weight – reducing your risk of diabetes and high blood pressure. A good diet should include plenty of fruit and vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish and pulses and restricted salt, sugar and fat intake.
By getting up and moving
Regular exercise will not only help your heart but has many other health benefits. It will give you more energy, relieve stress and help make you more supple and protect against osteoporosis.
By giving up smoking and limiting the booze
Stopping smoking can significantly reduce the risk of having a heart attack and has huge health benefits as can reducing your alcohol intake to within the recommended daily allowances (or below).
By de-stressing
While stress is not a direct risk factor, it is possible that it may contribute depending on your coping mechanism. For example, when you are stressed you may be more likely to smoke, over eat or drink more – all of which can increase your risk of heart disease.
By being aware of the dangers of having high blood pressure
High blood pressure is often referred to as the silent killer as many people who suffer from this condition may not have any symptoms. One way to find out if you are at risk is to have your blood pressure taken regularly.
As February is the month of lurve, we are offering FREE cardiovascular checks.
Not sure what your blood pressure is, why not book an appointment and come in and have it checked.
If you want advice on how to start making some lifestyle changes, we can help with that too.
You can also follow us on Facebook. Each day this month we will be posting tips on how to improve your cardiovascular health so we can help you keep your heart healthy!

Craetegus was regarded as a valuable heart remedy as far back as the Middle Ages. The Hawthorn was considered sacred in early times and believed to furnish the Crown of Thorns. Legend has it that between 30-63 AD Joseph of Aramathea came to England and planted his hawthorn staff in Glastonbury soil.
Hawthorn's therapeutic actions come from the berries, flowers and leaves. The plant constituents are considered valuable as a remedy for those with circulatory and cardiac problems, improving blood flow to the vital organs. By dilating vessels, Hawthorn decreases blood vessel resistance and lowers blood pressure. In addition, by improving oxygen utilization the heart is more effective.
Homeopathic remedies are prescribed on the principal that 'like cures like', in a tiny dilution. Craetegus is a well established Homeopathic remedy used for a multitude of heart conditions. If your symptoms fit with the symptoms of Crataegus, then it may be of benefit.
The uses for Craetegus include the following symptoms: general heart weakness, bouts of anxiety that result in a weak feeling of the heart (a sinking heart), symptoms of angina pectoris, hypertension (high blood pressure) and also hypotension (low blood pressure), pain under left scapula, and insomnia. A low potency such as 3x or 6x can be taken to maintain a regular heart action and remove associated symptoms.
Craetegus is also used for serious heart disorders and has been found to be of specific use for post stroke and heart attack conditions regulating the heart and strengthening its muscle. However this would be best prescribed with the support of your homeopath or health professional.
Where to buy Homeopathic remedies – Homeopathic remedies can be bought from healthfood shops, chemists or pop into the clinic.
Homeopathic remedies are often used as self-help for simple conditions, however for more serious complaints a homeopath, GP or health professional should be consulted before using homeopathic medicines.

The United Kingdom, as a whole, is becoming more obese and therefore more at risk to fatal illness. That may sound like a harsh message, but it is the undeniable truth with statistic after statistic supporting such claims. It has been reported that HALF (50%) of men could well be obese by 2030 if the current trend continues (NHS, 2012). It has become such a stark realization, that there are many calls for governments around the world to make immediate and dramatic policy change to reverse a pandemic of obesity (The Guardian). But this goes deeper than just the man or woman on the street. There is a need to change the attitude and education right down to the children that are around right now, as this is where the problems are developing into real concerns. It has got to the point where, this generation of children, maybe the ones that have shorter life expectancies than their parents.
The Harsh Truth!
- One out of 6 children under 14 yrs can't swim
- One in 10 children can't ride a bike
- 33% have never owned a bike
- 79% have owned a games console
- One in 4 have never run more than 400m
One study assessed 315 ten year olds in 1998 and 309 10 year olds in 2008. A total of 5% of the 1998 group could not hold their weight when hanging from a bar. In 2008 this had doubled to 10%. During the same period of time, arm strength fell by 26%, grip strength by 7% and functional sit up by 27% (Sandercock et al., 2011).
The average CV fitness level is declining in the UK at a rate of DOUBLE the global figure. These figures are collated from a study that used 600 ten year olds over a 10-year period!!
- Boys – 7% drop
- Girls – 9% drop
- Equivalent to 0.8% per year
- World predicted figure 0.4%
Research shows that young people spend an average of (Dunford, 2010):
- 1.7 hours online per day
- 1.5 hours playing games consoles per day
- 2.7 hours watching TV per day
This 'X-box' generation are suffering, not only in the short-term with diseases such as rickets becoming more common, but their entire lives are becoming at risk to disease, poorer quality of life due to posture issues and an over all reduced quality of life.
Further to that, our sporting achievements as a nation are also at risk due to basic, fundamental movement literacy and skills such as running, jumping, throwing, kicking, catching and striking not being performed enough. These basic skills underpin any high performance development programme. Without these in place, the next Olympic Champion is going to be hard to come by with a GBR vest on.
The Truths
- You can't exercise your way out of an unhealthy diet
- You can't diet out of an unhealthy lifestyle
You CAN'T transform yourself:
- In 3 minutes a day with no sweat
- By making new years resolutions
- By substituting 'Lite' for real
- By exercising your 'problem areas'
- By joining a club
- By dieting
- By paying the exercise guru
Research shows
- Research has discovered a link between computer use in children and chronic musculoskeletal strain
- A rapid increase in computer use by children has exceeded the development of knowledge about the complications for the health of children.
- The more children use games consoles and revert to texting, the greater the incidence of joint pain (Yaziki, New York Hospital for Joint Diseases)
The positives of exercise
- Children taking part in 5 hours of vigorous physical activity a week had stronger academic performance in math, English, natural sciences and French than children with only 2 hours of physical activity per week!!!!
- Children taking part in dance activities improved their reading skills by 13 % over 6 months. This was compared to sedentary peers, who showed a 2% decrease.
- Children who spend an extra hour a day exercising, did better on exams than students who didn't exercise.
The department of health (UK, 2004) recommends that children and young people should achieve:
- A total of AT LEAST 60 minutes of AT LEAST moderate intensity each and every day.
- It's the attitude and desire to change that promotes a permanent change to lifestyle.
- You have to WANT IT!
- It's a lifestyle change, not a diet or new regime that can begin to turn these statistics around.
- Anyone can achieve, you just have to have the mental toughness to begin that change.

Feeling sluggish after all the Xmas holiday over endulgence? Why not give your system a re-boot for the new year! Boost your circulation with a massage!
How does massage work?
In order for the body to work efficiently it needs a good supply of blood. Blood delivers everything required by the cells for their growth, repair and nutrition.
If the cells have suffered from inflammation or any tissue damage, waste material is created. Waste is also created when the body produces energy e.g. lactic acid, therefore, the body requires an effective waste disposal system. Both nutrition provision & waste removal are involved in the healing process and are vital to the healthy function of cells. Massage assists this process.
There are various different types of massage techniques e.g effleurage, petrissage, friction, soft tissue & neuromuscular technique etc. to name but a few. In particular the stroking massage techniques such as "effleurage" act like a pumping system which help to stimulate the circulation of blood. Fresh blood brings fresh nutrients which are absorbed by the muscle fibre cells, whilst at the same time also removing waste from the cells.
When pressure is applied with long sweeping massage strokes towards the heart, the blood is pushed up along the vein, a vacuum is created behind the vein and this space immediately becomes filled by fresh blood from the arteries.
In order to allow the absorption and filtration of nutrients and waste, it is important that the blood vessel walls are soft and pliable. The pumping action of massage strokes forces blood through the arterioles and capillaries, this stretches the walls of the blood vessels and this in turn can assist in increasing their size, capacity and function.
Massage not only has a positive effect on local tissues it also boosts the circulatory system as a whole, this in turn helps to improve the health and recovery of most of the other systems of the body.
In summary, by boosting the circulation massage plays a very important role in keeping the cells throughout the entire body healthy and functional. (ref: sport & remedial massage therapy, mel cash, 1996)

A remnant of ancient heathland, a flower-filled wilderness fringed with woodland that rings with birdsong.
Inkpen Great Common
Lying south-west of Newbury, this rare Berkshire heathland was once part of the old Inkpen Great Common where villagers had rights to graze livestock and collect firewood and gorse for feeding their ovens.
An interesting mix
Today's nature reserve is split into two parts. The smaller south-western portion is now a small woodland of naturally regenerated oak and birch. The larger eastern part includes areas of heather and gorse, fringed by silver birch and oak, a small valley bog and a pond. Some parts can get very wet in winter.
Heathland gems
A variety of heathland plants can be seen here including gorse, dwarf gorse, three types of heather, the scarce pale dog-violet, lousewort and heath milkwort. Look out for the unusual parasitic common dodder - it has no leaves, only pink thread-like stems and dense heads of white and pink flowers.
From the boardwalk next to the bog you can admire yellow bog asphodel. Meadow thistle and heath spotted-orchid grow here too.
Woodland trees and birds
In late spring and summer, look and listen for warblers serenading you from the woodland fringes.
Things to do
- Explore the reserve and surrounding area with our Inkpen Wild Walk. Starting in Kintbury, this 17km circular walk takes in Inkpen Common and Inkpen Crocus Field nature reserves. There is a shorter 10km route that starts at Inkpen Common. OS Explorer Map 158, 1:25,000 scale, covers the route of this walk.
