How to Cure Candida in 6 Steps
Hey, guys. Axe here, of functionalmedicine and founder of DrAxe . Today I'm going to share with you the exact diet, treatmentand supplements you need to take the clear Candida from your body. And this is what Ireally consider to be my SixStep Candida Cure Diet Protocol. And you're going to seeamazing results with this protocol. And let me say this first, what is Candida?Candida is the overgrowth of yeast and bad bacteria in your body and it can cause somemajor symptoms that you want to get rid of. And so some of the symptoms of Candida caninclude any type of fatigue issue. If you struggle with chronic fatigue or adrenal fatigue,those can be related to Candida.
Any type of leaky gut issue. Leaky gut isintestinal permeability, where proteins like gluten can leak through your gut and causeinflammation of your body. So if you have food sensitivities or if you have digestiveissues like gas and bloating, also if you have any problem related to the thyroid, thosecan be warning signs you have Candida. Also if you get yeast in your body. If younotice, let's say, yeast or whiteness on your tongue or if you ever get chronic yeast infectionsor coming down with the cold and flu often, those can be warning signs that you have Candida.And, of course, also with Candida any sort of other digestive issues, like irritablebowel syndrome or chronic diarrhea or constipation
or even acid reflux, those are warning signsthat you might have Candida. And last but not least, is a sluggish metabolism.If you aren't losing weight and burning fat like you know you should be, those are warningsigns you could have Candida, along with actually even bad breath and lack of detoxification.Those are some major warning signs. So here are the six things you need to do to eliminateCandida fast. Number one, you need to stop consuming somuch sugar. Now, I know that's obvious. That's something that I think most of us realizeis that sugar feeds yeast in your body. But again, you have got to get rid of processedsugar, fruit juices, any sort of added sugar
to any sort of product sweetener. Even mostpackaged products and fast foods are also high in sugar. Even things like pasta saucesand crackers, you'd be surprised, but sugar is added to almost everything. So again, eliminate especially the processedsugar out of your diet. As a replacement, I recommend using a little bit of Stevia,which is a nocalorie natural sweetener and then about one to three teaspoons a day ofmanuka honey. Okay? Those are the sweeteners you should be using if you have Candida. Number two. You need to eliminate grains fromyour diet. Why? Because grains turn into sugar
and they also tend to be more inflammatory.And so again, getting those grains out of your diet, especially wheat products and glutencontaininggrains, that's step number two. Instead, do a lot more vegetables and maybe some starchycarbs. Number three thing you have to do to clearCandida from you system, is support your spleen. Now, this is cuttingedge information thata lot of people don't realize. And this is a practice in Ancient China that is oftenused by acupuncturists today. But they have found that the number one cause of Candidais a weakened spleen. And so if you have spleen issues, and spleen is responsible for digestionof the body, producing red blood cells in
your system. And so the spleen is a very importantorgan. In order to support the spleen, there area couple things you need to do. But really the spleen is supported by starchy foods,especially squash, things like sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and also even doing certaintypes of beans like lentils and mung beans. So again, getting some of those good starchycarbs. And that's really where your sweetness shouldcome from. A little bit of butternut squash, acorn squash, foods like that that has thatmild sweetness. That's the only sweet you should be really getting in your diet. Again,with no processed sugar and, again, very low
DermTV How to Treat Under Breast Rashes Infections DermTV Epi 190
Hello, I'm Neal Schultz pause and welcome to DermTV. Rashes under the breast tend to occur if theskin of the lower part of the breast lies flat against the skin below thebreast. That tends to happen at a certain time in life whether it's fromage, gravity, from having had children or just from the way that you'rebuilt. Whether you know it or not, your skin perspires all the time butwhen skin lies flat against
another layer of skin that perspiration orsweat can't evaporate and moisture accumulates. When moisture accumulatesin closed areas, like skin against skin, it promotes the growth of bacteriaand other germs and that creates odors and that can lead to infections.The most common infections that occur in this context, on the under partof the breast, are yeast infections and bacterial infections. To helpprevent this, very simply, after you shower treat this area with thesame antiperspirant that you use under your arms. If that's not effectiveat sufficiently decreasing the
sweating, then take a thin piece of cottonmaterial and place that thin piece of material under and in the fold belowthe breast on both sides to help absorb moisture. If you actually do developa rash below your breast usually it manifests as itchy little red bumpswith some oozing. Usually this is very uncomfortable. It's probablya yeast infection and the best way to treat it is with milk and water compressesand the instructions, for those is discussed in DermTV Episode 15.In addition, over the counter Mikonazol lotion applied very lightly twoor three times a day, will often
help cure a yeast infection. And by the way,this may seem counter intuitive, but soap in these circumstancesis bad it's not good and soap will actually make the infection worse. Ifthese simple measures don't help improve your rash then see your dermatologistfor further treatment.

I honestly didn't know if I could stay on my feet. I really was close to either throwing up or crying, or possibly both. My chest heaved, my legs sent signals to my brain that pleaded with me to stop and the scenes all around were reduced to tunnel vision.
The route ahead – more concrete – stretched out to a pin prick that remained in focus while all else around me, the crowds of screaming spectators and the steel-framed bed I was pushing as it rattled loudly from its wheels rolling over the road beneath my feet, pulsated in an increasingly claustrophobic blur. I must have been on the verge of losing consciousness and we were only about half way in.
At this midway point of the Great Knaresborough Bed Race I berated myself for being there. With absolutely no exaggeration, this was the worst physical punishment of my life. My wiry frame and limited fitness was being tortured, despite weeks of intermittent practice (albeit without the bed half the time and never once with a passenger aboard, as is required on race day – we only had ourselves to blame).
The crowds thickened and the noise erupted… somehow we summoned enough energy to lumber on.
All that kept me going was the money. Between seven of us we had raised, by that point, around £900 in sponsorship for the British Heart Foundation. We owed it to people's generosity alone to make it over the finish line.
Here we were, six of us – three blokes and three lasses all aged 30-plus – pushing this heavy structure through the streets of what is a pretty North Yorkshire market town; our seventh team member riding as passenger and wearing a helmet and life jacket as per the rules.
Part-way through the 2.4-mile route of Tarmac and, in places, cobbled roads, we were at the peak of the route's almighty, twisting summit – a seemingly endless, steep, helter-skelter hill that winds up from the riverfront to the market square at the top.
The crowds thickened here and the noise erupted. Our passenger, Ally, hammered repeatedly on an air horn tied to the bed with her foot as the adrenaline pumped, shouting encouragement in thick Scottish tones. The rest of us – Rosie, Clare, Caroline, Dan, Matt and yours truly – somehow summoned enough energy to lumber on as we came to the long downhill section of the High Street before crossing a bridge and navigating a river crossing just before the finish line.
Some 90-odd other competing teams filled the route and there were thousands of people lining the streets in support – some of whom were armed with water guns to fire at you as you run past with the bed.
Come the river crossing and I was one of two of us who we'd agreed would jump in the water first to bear the weight of the bed as it was lifted into the River Nidd, but I was muttering over and over, though barely audible to the rest, that I couldn't do it… I did it anyway and half way across the river I turned the air blue with obscenities. The 'frog man' stationed there in case of emergencies had a good chuckle and urged me to picture the pint of beer that would await me at the finish line. It was enough to get me over and out of the water and across the line.
The rest of the team had been utterly incredible in getting us round. I collapsed straight away at the finish. High fives all around. I couldn't believe we had done it. Overwhelmingly, I was filled with sheer relief that it was over.
A huge 'thank you' to every single person who cheered us on around the route whether you know us or not. A massive 'thank you' to all our friends who supported us in Knaresborough on the day. And a heart-felt 'thank you' to every single one of our 63 sponsors who raised an incredible £1,090 for the British Heart Foundation – smashing our initial target of £150 – via our JustGiving page: JustGiving: So Sozzled Crew
Turns out we're suckers for pain and despite the trauma described here, our team 'So Sozzled Crew' fully intends to enter the ballot for the 2017 Knaresborough Bed Race. Although it was so very, very hard work, the event is actually fantastic fun that attracts a real community atmosphere and it is all held in a beautiful setting. Congratulations to the voluntary Knaresborough Lions group for another wonderful occasion.

Today Hedvig is pleased to support our partner, Mesosphere, as a charter member in the launch of the Mesosphere SDK and developer program.
Application architectures are changing radically. Gone are the days of building monolithic applications. However, "cloud" is no longer a sufficient term to describe this architectural shift. Modern architectures and modern applications are built as distributed systems. They're made up of microservices running in discrete containers. An application is now assembled, not deployed. Why? Scalability. Reliability. Flexibility. Programmability. And a bunch of other "ities" that characterize what developers needs to remain aligned with fast-changing business requirements.
What does Mesophere do?
Mesosphere's Datacenter Operating System (DCOS) is a great example of a necessary tool to help developers and DevOps build distributed applications. In my opinion, the best description of DCOS comes from today's announcement:
"Today, with the Mesosphere DCOS, developers can build directly for datacenter and cloud scale using DCOS primitives for networking, resource allocation, container orchestration, fault tolerance, package distribution and automated operation."
Mesophere helps lower the barrier for enterprises making the shift to distributed architectures, as well as a clean slate for startups and new innovators to jump immediately into a modern approach to applications and services.
Frederic Lardinois of TechCrunch also wrote a good summary of today's announcement here.
How do Mesophere and Hedvig work together?
Mesophere and Hedvig are solving the same problem from two different portions of the stack. This statement, written by Mesosphere's Derrick Harris, could easily be substituted as the Hedvig mission statement:
"Make it simple to develop all types of distributed services or applications ... The operative words here are simple and distributed."
Both of us are born out of a desire to help companies embrace and develop distributed systems. Mesophere helps companies build distributed apps; Hedvig helps them store that application's data. Mesosphere has built a modern datacenter OS; Hedvig has built a modern storage platform. Both aim to bring simplicity and flexibility to the equation. And both are looking to disrupt traditional, monolithic approaches.
So, it was a natural fit for Hedvig to join the Mesosphere developer program. We'll work with Mesosphere to make it as easy to deploy block, file, and object storage for a distributed application as it is to deploy a database or HDFS using DCOS today.
In the words of our Founder & CEO:
"Hedvig's distributed storage application, like any distributed application, needs to solve the problem of enabling customers to easily deploy the technology in microservices architectures with containerized workloads," said Avinash Lakshman, founder and CEO of Hedvig, and inventor of Apache Cassandra. "From a storage perspective, the trickiest detail is data persistence. This is a major strength of the DCOS. We believe that the DCOS approach to persisting data across containers and between clusters is optimal for the new generation of applications that requires a much more flexible underlying datastore."
We're excited to join the partner program and develop using Mesophere's SDK. Stay tuned for joint innovations in the distributed systems space.
Building your own distributed app? Let us know a bit about you and we'd be happy to talk you through how we can help.

The company at the center of a federal corruption investigation is one of the largest Syracuse-area campaign donors to Gov. Andrew Cuomo and local politicians.
Two owners of COR Development Co. face federal charges in U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara's investigation into economic development projects in Upstate New York. Steve Aiello and Joseph Gerardi are accused of bribing a former top aide to Cuomo.
COR Development partners and family members have contributed nearly $500,000 to Cuomo, state legislators, Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner, Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney, judges, the district attorney and other local elected officials over the last 10 years, records show.
Donations so far this year by Steve Aiello and Joseph Gerardi include:
- Gerardi, $5,000, Jan. 12, to Andrew Cuomo 2018
- Aiello, $5,000 Jan. 12 to Andrew Cuomo 2018
- Aiello, $5,000 Feb 12 to Friends of Joanie Mahoney
The timing of some donations to Cuomo are mentioned in the complaint.
Todd Howe, a lobbyist also accused in the investigation, urged Aiello and Gerardi to make donations directly to Cuomo's campaign and to contribute large amounts "so that the governor's office would know and remember them," the complaint said.
Howe also suggested at one point that the two COR executives hold any contributions to state or federal officials so they could make sure to get the most leverage out of them, the complaint said.

Budgeting in business is essentially the same. It is about estimating and planning for something that you want to achieve (a profit!), working towards your goals, and then reviewing your budget at a later date to see if you achieved it.
Personal budgets can be changed or altered and may not be strictly adhered to. However in business, budgeting requires careful planning and is crucial in the day-to-day operation, profitability and growth of your business.
A budget is only as reliable as the information it is based on. Accurate information on your business' operation, analysis of previous budgets and an understanding of your industry will help you manage your current budgets.
So let's look at how you can successfully interpret your budgets and manage your finances.
- Section 1: Allocate budget resources.
- Section 2: Monitor financial activities against budget.
- Section 3: Identify and evaluate options for improved budget performance.

Trump's new Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity has requested vast amounts of voter data from all fifty states including names, addresses, social security numbers, voting history, and other private information. The request has raised significant concerns among voting rights and privacy advocates across the country and here in Maryland. According to reporting by The Hill, "at least 24 states, with both Republican and Democrat-led governments so far refused to provide all or some of the voter information requested by Trump's Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity."
Here in Maryland, at least 26 legislators signed-on to a letter led by Montgomery County Delegates Eric Luedtke and Kirill Reznik asking Maryland officials to protect voter data. Del. Luedtke said, "I join my colleagues in calling on Governor Larry Hogan and state officials to reject the request from a federal commission to be sent voter data on every Marylander. Sharing this data would clearly violate Maryland law."

Traffic shifting to make room for pavement construction on John Deere Road project
MOLINE, Illinois — Drivers navigating around the John Deere Road construction project on Coaltown Road will see a slight traffic adjustment.
Traffic on Coaltown Road, at the intersection of 41st Street, will still be down to just one lane westbound, but drivers are being shifted onto the new pavement on the north side of the road. Workers will be installing new pavement on the south side next.
Once the south side pavement is complete two-lane traffic will reopen on Coaltown Road.
Project Manager Ryan Birney noted that access to businesses in that area will remain available.

The breadth and coverage of analytical expertise in the IEA Technology Collaboration Programmes (TCPs) are unique assets that underpin IEA efforts to support innovation for energy security, economic growth and environmental protection. The 38 TCPs operating today involve about 6 000 experts from government, industry and research organisations in more than 50 countries1.
Energy Technology Systems Analysis (ETSAP TCP)
Pathways to step-up the share of renewables by 2030
The ETSAP TCP assists decision makers to assess the current energy technologies and markets that will meet the future challenges of energy supply, economic development and environmental protection. Activities carried out included support for comparing pathways to double the share of renewables by end-use sectors by 2030.
The step-by-step approach to modelling shows pathways to doubling the share of renewable energy in final consumption by 2030.*
As the share of renewable energy is expected to grow only from 14% to 19% in the global energy mix by 2040 under current and planned policies, developing pathways to assist policy makers in identifying technology deployment, investment and policy needs on a national and international level is a priority.**
To support the Renewable Energy Roadmap (REmap 2030) of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the ETSAP TCP and IRENA collaborated on a comparative analysis of their pathways to achieving a doubling of the share of renewables in end-use sectors by 2030.
The two approaches quantify the expected impacts of increased renewable energy sources (RES) by identifying technology deployment, investment and policy needs on a national and global level by creating comparable cost-supply curves across countries.
REmap 2030 provides detailed information on each of the renewable energy sources, technologies and their deployment potentials in the different energy sectors in a simple, replicable and transparent format based on national data in order to explore pathways to reach the 2030 targets.
The ETSAP TCP approach incorporates energy efficiency measures to achieve incremental increases in the share of renewable energy in the end-use sectors. For each increase, systems costs (i.e. grid integration and capital stock turnover) required to increase RES at the lowest cost are calculated. This incremental, integrated approach enables policy makers to gain understanding of the long-term costs – and benefits – associated with strategic choices concerning RES and technologies.
For example, in the first incremental increase, natural gas for electricity generation is displaced by onshore wind, photovoltaics and, depending on the resources, geothermal, while oil is displaced by biofuels in the industry sector, and diesel is displaced by ethanol in the transport sector. As the demand for low-carbon electricity generation will continue to increase, a share of 36-44% for RES in end-use sectors was feasible by 2030. These steps also highlight benchmarks that may be integrated into national plans and targets.
On the other hand, the IRENA approach explores strategies to increase the amount of provision from RES, leaving out possible further contribution from energy efficiency measures, to increase the share of renewables in final energy use. Understanding different approaches provides for more accurate energy planning. Information on the two approaches has been integrated into IRENA's REmap 2030 publication.

Trying to decide on the subject for my first boozy bunch blog post was a struggle, but when I thought back over the last month one meal stood head and shoulders above the rest. That meal was at Isari juhachiban.
So there I was in Tokyo, fortunate enough to have a Japanese friend who lives there showing me around. We had a lovely sunny sunday checking out Harajuku and surrounding areas, including Takeshita Dori (I saw less Harajuku Girls than a Gwen Stefani video but more matsuri processions) Yoyogi park, the Shibuya crossing and Meiji Jingu. But it wasn't long before the takoyaki (octopus balls) that we had as a 'light lunch' felt like a distant memory and we got to thinking about dinner. Because although Japan is filled with many, many wonderful places, people and things it is also filled with many amazing different types of food, and as this amazing food is everywhere your next meal is never far from your mind. So with the luxury of a local foodie I was given a list of options, one of which I was told was a really, really good Izakaya (a Japanese bar that does food – I mean it is much more than that but this is my attempt at a description) which doesn't get many tourists and is very popular as the fish is so fresh and that was enough for me. So we phoned for a reservation, of course as I speak about 4 words of Japanese and even those 4 I am probably pronouncing incorrectly my role in this phone call was purely supportive nodding and nothing else. But I managed that pretty well. I was told that we were lucky and there was a table in an hour which was perfect as I needed another puri (photo booths with a sort of exaggerated photoshop effect) fix anyway. So an hour and about 15 photos of us with huge eyes covered in stickers later we were ready to eat.
When we got there it was packed – absolutely heaving. Lucky for me I had help, but they also gave me a menu with extra photos – always a bonus. Although maybe it wasn't as basically every single thing that I saw I wanted. Fuelled by the delicious plum wine we settled on a sharing platter and a few random extras – some because they were seasonal and others like the boiled egg tempura because well how would I ever know what boiled egg tempura tastes like? If you are wondering- it was delicious like everything I had here. We tried conger eel tempura also and the tempura was so light and tasty- you could taste how fresh it was. I had no idea what to expect but it was so delicious and the texture was much softer than expected. We also tried umi-budō/sea grapes/sea caviar which is a specialty from Okinawa, apparently this is rarely available. It was quite different to anything I have had before- much less strongly flavoured than other types of seaweed that I have tried and they do taste a lot like a savoury grape. We also had some really great miso soup that was so flavourful I struggled to stop eating it, but I managed as I knew what was awaiting me. The platter! The platter of pure joy, the platter to end all platters. I have never had a platter so fresh and so delicious, nor have I ever used the word platter so much in such a short space of time. The photo obviously does it no justice as it was so beautiful I didn't want to eat it, obviously I did and I didn't hang about either, but it was beautiful. I feel like the words that I would usually use to describe an amazing meal are not enough to capture the experience of this platter. It was divine. Incredible. I am salivating at the thought of it. The bonito, salmon, tuna and many other fishes (some of which even when translated into English I had never heard of) were all incredibly fresh and amazingly tasty. But my highlight item in the highlight dish in the highlight meal of the trip was the sea urchin. The sea urchin was like nothing I have ever tasted, the texture was really soft and it wasn't the easiest thing to eat with chopsticks but it just melted in the mouth and had a really unique flavour. It also tasted special, like the best bit of a lobster claw in that it has an intense concentrated flavour that is not overpowering. It was creamy and almost sweet and luckily for me my eating companion was happy just to watch me enjoy it most of it. Although in my mind I started to plan my next trip to Japan before I left the reality is it will be a while before I'm next in Tokyo so until I am able to go back I am back on the mission to find more great Japanese places in London. Maybe there is a platter that can hold my interest until I can be reunited with the one.

In addition to re-creating the history of the English Civil Wars in Britain (1639-51), the Society also has a great interest in re-creating the early colonial period of America (1609-80).
This period saw the founding of many European colonies in America, especially in the Mid-Atlantic region. Therefore, Society units also portray early Dutch, English, French and Swedish militia and regulars (similar to those found in the Thirty Years War).
Dutch, English, French and Swedish units have been portrayed by the Society at various early colonial historic sites throughout North America, such as the following:
The Society also regularly works with the replica of Captain Henry Hudson's 1609 ship Halve Maen (Half Moon), performing exciting landings and battle engagements as Dutch soldiers, upon land and water, for the education and entertainment of thousands of spectators. For photos of some of these engagements, click on the following places where these have occurred:

JACK REACHER: NEVER GO BACK Movie Review by The Commander
If you've been reading my movies for the past year, you'll have come to the conclusion that when I like a movie, my reviews are long, and when I don't care for them, they're short. This is one of the short ones.
Once again Tom Cruise recreates the title character in Jack Reacher: Never Go Back. Too bad he didn't pay attention to the title. Now at the age of 54, Cruise is trying to play a tough 6' 5" muscled, mid-30-year-old, no nonsense marine MP (based upon the book's character) when in fact he's only 5' 7" and much older than his character. This slight discrepancy takes away from the reality of the film. It's a far stretch to think that a man in his fifties can take on young guys in their twenties and thirties. It doesn't happen in sports, it doesn't happen in reality, and it's far-fetched, even for films.
In this episode of the Jack Reacher series, he must uncover the truth behind a major government conspiracy to clear a fellow female officer, along with himself, who are both scapegoats.
While this is a good, action-packed movie, there's too many scenes where it's just become silly. It reminded me of the TV show, The A-Team (1983-1987). Thousands of bullets were fired, but only a few people ever got hit. Similarly, when a dozen police cars would surround a building, Cruise would easily slip away by simply walking out. Also, when was the last time you thrust your fist through a car window breaking not only the glass, but knocking the driver out? Yeah, right! Try it sometime if you think it's so easy. Let me know how much is your medical bill when you leave the emergency room.
I know Cruise would love to keep this as his franchise for the next 10 years, but it simply is not in the cards—because as they say, you can never go back.

The Alliance recommends completing the I-95 managed lane corridor by constructing additional HOV-3/HOT lanes on I-395 in Alexandria and Arlington between Edsall Road and 14th Street Bridge.
More Relief In Sight for the I-95/395 Travelers?
Last month Governor McAuliffe announced that the 95 Express Lanes will be extended eight miles north on I-395 from Turkeycock Run to the DC line. Existing I-395 HOV lanes will be expanded by one lane and converted to dynamically tolled express lanes — tolled for SOV and free for HOV3, and transit. The project will […]Read
Key Alliance I-395 Strategic Priority Advances NVT Alliance Discusses Regional Transportation Projects on News Channel 8
NVT Alliance Policy Director, Nancy Hiteshue Smith, appeared on News Channel 8's NewsTalk Tuesday morning to praise Governor McAuliffe's recently announced conversion of I-395 HOV lanes to High Occupancy Toll (HOT) express lanes and discuss other regional transportation matters including improvements to I-66 Outside and Inside the Beltway. "[The I-395 project] will provide great options […]Read
I-395 Overview
Widening and converting the 395 HOV lanes to HOT/Express Lanes was originally proposed in 2005 and approved by the Commonwealth Transportation Board as part of the overall I-95/I-395 HOT Lanes project. However, a 2009 lawsuit by the Arlington County Board of Supervisors derailed the original project and in 2011 the Virginia Department of Transportation decided it could wait no longer to bring improvements and travel options to the 95 corridor. It therefore eliminated the I-395 inside the Beltway segment and moved forward with the I-95 Express Lane project from Edsall Road in Fairfax County to Route 610 in Stafford County. The Arlington Board's legal option that caused VDOT to delay the 395 portion cost the region in $200 million in private sector public transit corridor improvements for the corridor.
Arlington County's lawsuit to stop the I-95/I-395 HOT Lanes project was just another in a long list of Northern Virginia locality actions that have delayed, downsized or defeated and run-up the cost of badly needed transportation improvements. It's not by accident area residents lose more time and money stuck in congestion than just about anyone in the nation.
You can read more about local actions that have cost Northern Virginia here.
Project Status
In November 2015 the Commonwealth of Virginia signed a Framework agreement with Transurban to move forward with the conversion of the I-395 HOV lanes to express lanes. The project will be done under the existing 95 Express Lanes Comprehensive Agreement between VDOT and Transurban.
The project will extend the I-95 Express Lanes from the current terminus at Turkeycock Run near Edsall Road 8 miles north to the vicinity of South Eads Street in Arlington.
A third lane will be added to the existing two HOV lanes and all three reversible lanes will operate 24/7 as express/toll lanes.
Vehicles with 3 or more persons will travel for free at all times. Vehicles with less than three persons will pay variable tolls based on travel conditions. Existing conventional/general purposes lanes will remain free to all travelers.
As part of the Agreement, Transurban will provide a dedicated annual transit payment for transit services and other multi-modal services as determined by a study conducted by the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation.
Construction is expected to start in Spring 2017 with completion in Summer 2019.

Tomorrow I have my first radio interview with Marlow FM Radio bookclub. It's at 11am and you can listen live at 97.5 FM or on the Internet, here. We are hoping to put a link up to a recording, if technology allows….
The book club programme is presented by Vanessa Woolley, Clare Bones and Serena Spencer-Jones. After reading a proof copy of Honor's Shadow, Vanessa asked if she could make a comment for the back of the published book, as she enjoyed it so much. She said "A tale woven with twists and turns and compelling characters. You won't be able to put it down." Clare has confessed that parts of it made her cry and she can't get it out of her head: she is recommending it to all her friends!
Clare will interview me tomorrow and she has sent me some possible and (fascinating) questions for our discussion; she also asked me to suggest a couple of songs I would like to have played, that relate to the book. A clear choice was "A Place in the Sun" by Stevie Wonder, which is Honor's favourite record.
I am so looking forward to the interview, it's very exciting! I am especially grateful to my good friend and colleague, the brilliant communications coach, Leonie Mellinger, who helped me think about communicating effectively on Radio, so I hope I can put into practice all that she taught me!
Marlow FM is a community radio, run entirely by volunteers for the benefit of the community. They are currently fund-raising; if you would like to donate, you can do so here.
If you have a chance to listen, I would love to hear any feedback!

This is a bug workaround update for the automated stock price analyzer.
Update: The Aug 11th 2016 version is:
Automated Stock Analysis with Screener.in data
The Jun 30th 2016 version is
Altman Z-score analysis of the financial health of a business
The automated stock analyzer
- pulls annual (standalone/consolidated) and quarterly financials from Value Research online
- pulls financials from morningstar and analyzes them,adjusted
- pulls adjusted stock price history from money control, and
- calculates intrinsic value five different ways!
Many users have complained that the Moneycontrol stock price download page either pulls the wrong price history or draws a blank.
The source of the problem is Moneycontrol. For many stocks, the id they use for financials differs from the one used for price history. Unfortunately, I could tabulate stock ids for financials only.
I have now provided a set of instructions by which the user can check the stock id before downloading the data.
The user will have to enter the desired stock name here
generate some random price history, copy the url and paste it in the sheet (detailed instructions in the sheet) to check the stock id.
This will ensure the right stock price is downloaded. Let me know if there is some way to automate this workaround.
Here is a screenshot

In case you're in need of inspiration like I have been, I wanted to share some of the tidbits that I learned from the speakers at the training. The theme this year was "The Brave Ones," and I definitely needed to channel the brave girl that I know is deep inside of me!
- Andy Stanley, Leadership Communicator & Author - Andy described bold leadership as "a middle school girl in pursuit of an iPhone." Think about it... Is there anything that a 14 year old girl that wants an iPhone won't do?! Other things to think about - bold leaders refuse to be cowed by how. Bold leadership is not just for bold people, and it is not reserved for the fearless.
- Bill McDermott, CEO of SAP AE - Don't obsess over your competition; focus on the white space they are yet to cover. I think that's a big one for all bloggers to remember!
- Commader Rorke T. Denver, Navy SEAL Commander - Pain is one of fear's agents... Lean into the pain! Studying sucks and studying makes me cry. But you know what? I think of leaning into the pain every time I study!
- Malala Yousafzai - Malala's story is amazing. She's been advocating rights for women's education since she was 10 years old! If you ever get upset about studying or school related issues, just remember how blessed you are that you can actually get an education! Whenever I complain, I immediately think about Malala.
- Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos Quarterback - Learn to thrive on being uncomfortable. I want to tell y'all, this has been a big one for me. On my 23rd birthday, I made a goal for myself to do more things that make me uncomfortable; it's no coincidence that I've grown so much as a person since my 23rd birthday.
- Seth Godin, Best-Selling Author - I had two major takeaways from this one. 1. "Be willing to bring tension." How many times have we avoided a conversation or confrontation because it would bring tension? I'm definitely guilty as charged! 2. "It's always too soon." The example he gave for this one was the fax machine. It was too soon for the fax machine because if only one person owned one, who would they send faxes too, right?! If you wait around for the "perfect time," you may be waiting around forever.
- Ed Catamull, President of Pixar & Disney Animation Studios - Ed talked about the way we view failure (I'm dumb/lazy/etc.) and the way that we should view failure (Try something; if it doesn't work, learn from it, and do better next time.) I told myself I was dumb probably 60 times the first week that I studied for the LSAT.... No more!
- Aja Brown, Mayor of Compton - Mayor Brown defined bravery as the point where we decide to live and not just exist. I love that! She also shared that brave leaders are not super human, and they serve for the purpose, not the praise.
- Rudy Giuliani, 107th Mayor of NYC - Mayor Giuliani shared his six lessons of leadership - strong beliefs, optimism, bravery and courage, relentless preparation, teamwork, and communication. He was the last speaker of the day, and I hung on to every word that he said.
Lilly Pulitzer (similar) | Cardigan: J. Crew | Sandals: Jack Rogers
Leadercast was such an amazing experience! I'm actually thinking about going to the live event in Atlanta next year. Have any of y'all ever been to a streaming or the event? What did you think?
Happy Friday, y'all!

The two-time East Division all-star died early Tuesday morning from complications due to dementia, the CFL team said Wednesday in a release.
Mann, a native of Berkeley, Calif., played for the Argonauts in 1958 and from 1960-'70. He excelled as a punter and a kicker but also played receiver and defensive back.
He started his pro career in the NFL after playing college football at Oregon State University. Mann was drafted in the seventh round by the Chicago Cardinals and spent three seasons there before moving to Canada.
Mann led the CFL in receiving in 1960 and 1961 and also led the league in punting in six seasons. He had a remarkable 44.2-yard punting average and his 102-yard punt on September 18, 1966 is still the second-longest in CFL history.
"With Dave being the superior athlete that he was, I felt comfortable putting him anywhere on the field," said former Argos head coach Leo Cahill. "Very rarely does a player lead your team in punting average and receiving yards, but that was the kind of special player Dave was."
Mann competed in 153 regular-season games and 13 playoff games for the Argonauts. He was named an East Division all-star in 1960 and 1961.
"I don't think Dave Mann ever played a bad game," said former Argo Nick Volpe, who serves as the team's football operations consultant. "I watched him closely and he was one of the best all-around athletes I've ever seen.
"He maintained his love for the Argos even into retirement and was a regular on the sidelines at practice."
Mann is survived by his five children. Funeral arrangements were not immediately available.

6.1.2013/Dana and CJ
what an incredible blessing it was this summer to be able to shoot the wedding of CJ and his beautiful bride Dana. It would truly be a challenge to find a couple that is as grace-filled, loving, and kindred as these two, and their special day completely reflected all of these magnificent qualities. The couple gathered those close to them in a lovely little barn a small ways outside of Winston, and we watched the two say their vows and break communion bread together, everyone present began the wonderful celebration of the newly married couple. The day flowed seamlessly, the bride and groom's absolute adoration for one another completely present in every aspect of the celebration, and the respect and love that these two hold in their community and among their family completely evident throughout the festivities.

Bien metido is a Panamanian term, and I'm not sure if it's the same in Costa Rican Spanish. There are some definite differences in language (as I've learned) since the word tranque (Panamanian Spanish for a traffic jam) doesn't exist here and a small restaurant in Costa Rica is apparently called a soda (Coca-cola is a gaseosa, then).
What bien metido means is "way out there," which is where I remain. As I mentioned earlier, Palo Verde has to be the remotest place I've ever visited, even surpassing my two years in the Peace Corps. Back then, I did live in a small village that was a 2 1/2 hour (very) rough drive into the mountains, but at least there were other people living there. Here there are only maybe 10 people at the station and NOBODY else around.
This morning, I found quite a few more Bagheera spiders (that the dragonflies couldn't steal this time), and it appears that they are living on acacia plants that belong to the species Vachellia collinsii that are populated by ants in the species Pseudomyrmex spinicola or Pseudomyrmex nigrocinctus.
The unusual part is that there is a third ant species here, which doesn't seem quite as common, and I haven't been able to find any spiders on plants that are populated by it:
As I worked to try and unravel this mystery today, the "empty" light came on the dashboard of the 4-wheel drive SUV that I needed to rent to get here. I guess I should've thought about gas earlier, but when I first came to Palo Verde, I was racing against the clock, and just barely got in as the guard was locking the gate. I knew that I couldn't put off filling the tank, though, because I sure didn't want to run out of gas 30 kilometers away from the nearest gas station.
The ride out took me close to an hour, mainly because the ride was so bumpy. Only the last 0.2 kilometers or so are paved. After that, it was back to where I'd come from, provided that I could remember the way…
Still not there, though.
Suffice to say, I spent a whole lot of time on that road.

I bought a 12-oz. spray can of silver touch up paint for my 1999 Audi A6 Avant and it was a perfect match! There were a couple spots where the paint seems to flake off of all of these cars, and the Automotive Touchup paint worked great to fix it. I've also used their touch up paint for my 1989 Mustang and it was a perfect match too!
The color quality and match for a 17 year old Audi was perfect! Thank you...
Color and top coat worked perfectly.

Question about Toshiba P25-S670 Notebook
I have had this Toshiba laptop since late 2004 and never had any problems (besides occasionally overheating) until about a year ago. The laptop has remained dormant since then and I have put this problem off for awhile but it's time to hopefully get this issue resolved. I will try to be as clear and concise as possible.
The original charger was damaged so I bought a new, generic version about a year ago. It was all downhill after that. The computer would turn on for a few minutes and then shut off with no warning (I have seen this problem in another post) almost like it was overheating. All three lights on the front of the laptop would light up and then shut off except for the green ac adapter light so it was recognizing that it was still plugged in to the wall. The orange battery light would blink sporadically and then shut off as if the connection was spotty and not getting through. After only a month or two the charger began to act up and the sound of crackling live electricity could be heard coming from it. I figured the problem had to be the ac adapter.
I just bought a new charger about 2 days ago and gave it a try tonight. The computer started up, ran for about 10-15 minutes without issue although it was very slow. All of a sudden it shut off again. The battery had been charging during this time and got up to a 9% charge. Upon starting the laptop up again, the charge dropped to 5% and then 0%. The orange battery light began methodically staying lit as orange and then blink 2-3 times and go dark. This continued for about 5-10 minutes. At this point I thought it may be a dead battery. However, now the laptop is still plugged in but none of the lights are lit up and the power button will not respond.
The charger seems to work fine so I ruled that out. I then figured it was a dead battery but the laptop should still power on even if the battery is out and it is plugged in to the wall, correct? Short of ordering a new battery and trying that I am not sure what else to do. Could it be an internal power connection problem that can't be solved with a new charger or battery?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Posted by styce on
Thanks for the comments.
An update on what's happening. I have left the laptop plugged into the wall without the battery (the tv tuner in its place). The ac power light has been lit for about a day or two. I just tried to put the battery in and the laptop turned on and all three lights lit up. The battery light glowed orange for about 5 minutes as I started the laptop up in safe mode. It never held a charge. I performed a few tasks until the laptop again shut off without warning (~7-8 minutes). The ac light remains lit however.
You may be on to something with the battery gobbling up power from the charger. I am going to order a new battery (which I probably should do anyway considering the original is so old) and see how the laptop responds. This seems like the most logical next step before taking it in to the shop.
Also, the charger I have is 19V and 6.3 Amps so that matches up. I am looking on-line right now and am trying to choose between a battery which is DC 14.8V & 6450 mAH or the DC 14.8V & 6600 mAH. The former possesses the specs on my ol battery but in my internet travels I have seen the latter as being compatable with my laptop as well (it is cheaper too). Is there a significant difference in terms of the mAH levels and the effect on the laptop?
Thanks again for you help.
Update: I just received my new battery and upon plugging in the laptop with the new battery in place, both the green ac power connection light and the orange battery charging light came on. I let it sit for about 20 minutes and then started it up. The computer ran on its own for about 5 minutes before the battery light turned off and then the laptop itself shut off about 5 minutes after that. Now, the laptop is showing no lights on (even when the ac cord is plugged in) and the power button won't respond. I unplugged the ac cord and plugged it back in and the green light came on. The power button then responded but the laptop quickly shutdown again. Very odd. I feel like some internal connection must be off for this type of thing to keep happening. Any more ideas short of shipping this thing to Toshiba?
I read your comment and decided to be more patient so I left the laptop plugged in all night. The battery light somehow remained lit up as orange all night signaling that it was in fact charging. I am not sure why it decided to stay light all of a sudden after beginning the night very unreliably. When I awoke this morning, the battery light had turned green meaning a full charge (it had been charging for about 10 hours). This was exciting as I had not seen this happen in almost a year. The laptop turned on fine and ran well with all the lights on for about 10 minutes. Then the battery light went out. The battery charge read 100% and even when I unplugged the ac cord, the laptop continued to run fine - even though the battery light was still dark it had accepted a charge and was working. The charge of the battery decreased at a normal pace and was about 50% when I left for work this morning. I tried plugging the ac cord back in before I left and the battery and the battery light would still not accept a charge/light up. Why would the battery initially accept a full charge and then not recognize the ac cord? Any ideas?
I am letting the power drain completely from the battery and then I will charge it up again when I return home. Thanks for responding so quickly last time.
Sorry I posted this as a solution #2 - Hey there again, after a few days of testing out the battery I am still unsure of the problem. If the laptop is off and the ac power cord is then plugged in, the battery will charge to 100%. Once the laptop is turned on however, the battery light will switch off and the battery will drain down to nothing and finally the laptop shuts off. The whole time, the power icon says the laptop is running on AC power yet the battery still drains. The battery will not charge again until the ac power cord is unplugged and plugged back in while it is off. This is the most consistent the machine has been in awhile but it is still odd that it's not recognizing that it is plugged in when powered on. Any more ideas? Thanks again for your help.
Hey everyone, I never did end up solving the problem. I bought a brand new ac adapter and a new battery but it still has the same problem. It charges for a bit (when it's off) and then once the power is turned on, the orange battery light will turn off causing the machine to shut down immediately (or shortly thereafter). Only when the cord is unplugged and then reinserted will the battery even think about charging but the response is spotty. I try jiggling the adapter once it's in but the results are mixed. The issue may in fact be a faulty dc jack but short of taking it to a repair shop or sending it to Toshiba I can't confirm this.
All I can say is that the laptop often shut down on its own within a year or two of purchasing it and I thought this may be because of overheating or too much dust being taking in by the numerous fans. I ended up elevating the laptop off my desk and this solved that problem. The current problem started after tripping over the wire and denting the dc jack a little bit. I always thought a faulty jack may be the problem but never wanted to send it in to Toshiba for repairs.
I haven't tried to use it in about a month though. I will check it right now and post any changes in the situation.
I've got the exact same problem with my Toshiba Satellite... have gone through 2 adapters with the second one making a crackling electric noise... now considering buying a new battery. I never did see a solution posted on here. Any ideas?
The laptop shut down unexpected the first turn on, but working good the last open? It cause as the mainboard heat too hot and the power supply fan problem. You may clean the ash of power supply fan and change a new fan for your laptop mainboard. Or you can dip some lubricating oil into the fan.
After doing this if the problem cant be solved, please change a laptop battery, as the precarious power can damage your laptop. See more laptop battery replacement in http://www.laptops-battery.co.uk
That's all i know, hope it can help you. Good luck

Have you checked the power options in the control panel, if set incorrectly they could cause problems. Also are you having any problems with the ac adapter plugging into the dc jack and being loose in anyway, if so you might need a new dc jack which is a costly repair but is still better than buying a new laptop. If you are good with a soldering iorn and have a steady hand and follow directions well you can do it yourself for around 8-15 dollars. Otherwise it will cost you 200- 300 dollars to fix. Email me @ firstname.lastname@example.com if u need more explaining.

Hi! I have the same problem with a Dell Inspiron 1100. Turn it on and after a while, it shuts itself off. Last like 10 or so minutes. Tried to back up files off the hard disk and now after you power it on, it shuts itself off after 5 seconds! I removed the battery and ran it on AC power - same thing - power it on, it turns itself off after 5 seconds.
Any clues?
Thanks for help!

Most laptop batteries would die out after a year or two. None the less, the laptop should work with or without the batteries.
In some instances, the batteries have deteriorated to the point that it will gobble up the power from the charger denying sufficient juice for the laptop's use. The temporary workaround is to use the laptop without the batteries. if removing the battery and the unit powers up/works, then you have verified that indeed it is the battery causing you problems.
If even without the battery the unit will not operated, you can suspect the charger not 100% compatible with your laptop. If it is an original charger, then you can conclude that something is wrong inside the Toshiba.
I understand that the original charger intended for a Toshiba P25-S670 is 19VoltsDC. 6.3Amperes (120Watts).
Hope this be of some help/idea. Pls post back how things turned out or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards.

Hi again Styce,
Appreciate the update and you're more than welcome.
The only difference between the DC 14.8V & 6450 mAH and the DC 14.8V & 6600 mAH is that the latter technically should last longer. If this would be cheaper, it would be to your advantage to get the 6600mAH.
There is no significant effect on the laptop's performance other than increase in length of time of usage.
If I may add,
New batteries would be better off having a continuous initial charge of at least 16 hours.
and hello again Styce,
Most new batteries need to be charged a loooong time just to get them to speed. Thereafter you would be back to normal power usage and depletion.
There has been several issues with laptop battery being manufactured by another firm for the laptop company. What is to be realized by us users is that the life/usefulness of the battery starts to countdown the moment it leaves the factory even before it is received by the laptop company or the reseller, dealer, wholeseller, importer.
As in your case, perhaps what would be needed is to exercise the battery and allow it to settle to a normal pattern of charge/discharge-use.
Some batteries are also intelligent in a way. They automatically disconnect any charging when they reach a certain temperature on the assumption that at certain temp, then it has fully charge.
In any case, pls add more to your patience and give the battery a chance to settle in into its new home.

My company which called "etouri" is located in 271 Arkadiou Str. Rethymno, Crete and is approved by the Greek Tourist Organisation with license number: 1041E60610185001
Kostas Vasilakis purchased this villa in 2016

The villa's location is excellent for anyone wanting to explore that area of Crete - there are numerous places of interest for day trips.
The pool was fantastic and the views from the end of the garden over to the mountains was breathtaking. The villa is described as having a fully equipped kitchen, whereas I would describe it as a simple kitchen for basic needs. More mugs needed to make full use of the dishwasher. Also we were unfortunate that we suffered a 24 hour water cut whilst we were there.
The owner and cleaner were both charming and helpful - being supplied with some of the owners own olive oil to enjoy whilst there was a lovely touch.
Pigi est vraiment bien situé pour explorer les endroits touristiques de la Crete , tout en bénéficiant du calme loin de la foule et des grands hôtels des plages de Rethymnon. Un grand merci à l'équipe d'Etouri pour leur réactivité , leur disponibilité et leur grande gentillesse. Tout a été parfait . Nous conseillons fortement l'excursion à Santorin après avoir bien sûr visité la Crête
Nous avons passer 15 jours dans la villa maria. L acceuil fut éxellent, mathiew qui s est occupé de nous était vraiment super agréable. Merci encore!
La villa avec son jardin et sa piscine privé est superbe,tout y est . Parfait pour les enfant il y as tout le materiel .jusqu au siege enfant sur le velo.

Je recommande
This is a fantastic villa. We were with my son (4 years old) and we were very happy. The villa has everything you will need to spend a great holidays. For us the best of the villa is the outside, I mean, the swimming pool and the garden are amazing and we spent a lot of time there. The owner Mathew was very helpful and he was always available for any question. Also the company who manage the villa was very helpful and they made everything easy.
If we come back to Crete we will book this villa again for sure. If you book this villa you will no regret at all.
Thanks for everything
The garden was real great, with sun and shade and a nice big pool.
The Villa was also perfect, however, you could not sleep on the couch, but they promised
that in future would be resolved.
Internet was also perfect.
A fantastic experience.
We'd like to recommend this
We had the most amazing stay at Villa Maria, we arrived on the 8th June and stayed for 10 nights. From beginning to end, Mathew, Rob & Sophia couldn't have possibly have done anymore for us if they tried - such lovely kind people. All three of them were a phone call or a message away and were always happy to help with whatever we needed help with, whether it was to book a taxi, a restaurant or advice on places to visit, eat or drink.
Lovely villa with all of the amenities you may need to help you enjoy your stay, pool was perfect too. Such a lovely little village, really peaceful & quiet but a quick 5-10 minute drive and you are in the hustle and bustle of Rethymno town.
We also found the mobile app so helpful, perfect for use out and about when needing directions, important phone numbers & recommendations for local sightseeing & things to do.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend staying at this villa to anyone, we would also be happy to visit again sometime in the future.
Thank you to everyone for your hospitality, I am sure anyone who stays here will also have the same view as us.
Sinatsakis villas are located in Pigi village, only 1.9 km away from the long sandy beach of Rethymno.
