Michael Phelps revealed that he had at least three or four major depression spells and said, "I straight wanted to die". On David Axelrod's "The Axe File" podcast", he claimed "the USOC, in my opinion, hasn't done anything to help us transition after an Olympics. I think it's sad. I think it's unfortunate. It's something that we're working towards now."
By speaking out about his battles with mental health, Michael, one of the most decorated Olympian in history, hopes the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) will do more to help athletes. And, he is not alone. A host of current and former athletes have recently brought mental health issues to national attention in hopes of removing the stigma of depression and suicidal impulses. Olympic swimmers, Missy Franklin and Allison Schmitt, and NBA stars, Kevin Love and DeMar DeRozan, have opened up about their mental health struggles. Franklin was inspired to speak out by Schmitt and Phelps and told CNN, "I feel so fortunate because I had so many incredible athletes pave the way for me" — mentioning the two swimmers by name. "Both really openly talk of their depression and what they went through. I just think we need so much more of that."
Alpine skier, Mikaela Shiffrin, told The Washington Post, "…the hardest thing about the Olympics is the incredible emotional valley you feel after it. What is my life meant for, now that the Olympics is over. That's kind of what it feels like." Olympic athletes have long talked about the difficulty of coming down off their competitive highs.
Through his Michael Phelps Foundation, Michael hopes to promote swimming, as well as raising awareness about physical and mental health. He said, "every day somebody is going to have ups and downs and if we can continue to help people get out and talk about things and open up, for me that was something that completely changed my life and I was able to see a much cleaner, happier, healthier way of living. If I can honestly save a life or save two lives that's all I want. For me, that's way bigger than ever winning a gold metal."

The new Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) offered at TheraMind Center of Santa Barbara was recently featured in two online publications, Amigos805.com and Noozhawk. Both articles announce the expansion of HBOT services with the addition of a second mild HBOT (mHBOT).
mHBOT is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared therapy that allows patients to breathe pure oxygen inside a flexible, soft-sided chamber under pressures, similar to diving to the bottom of a 10 ft deep swimming pool. This type of therapy was originally used to treat mountain climbers suffering from altitude sickness, but now has expanded to successfully treat traumatic brain injury (TBI), concussions, inflammation and aid in post-stroke recovery.
The doctors and certified specialists at TheraMind Center of Santa Barbara use mHBOT, supported by advanced diagnostic technologies like fMRI and genetic testing, to treat patients suffering from a broad range of neurological disorders, including migraines, concussions, TBI, neuropathy, certain autism spectrum disorders and some behavioral conditions such as depression. Other medical applications include generalized immune system enhancements, and the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's early state Alzheimer's, dementia, memory loss, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and Lyme disease.
To read the complete new articles, visit Amigos805.com or Noozhawk.
The National Institute of Mental Health is currently recruiting participants for a clinical study to see if using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to guide repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) helps locate the best area for treatment and to explore whether the efficacy of such treatment can enhanced through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Eligible participants are adults ages 18 to 65 with a major depressive disorder and current depression. The study is composed of three phases: Phase 1 will be 4 visits in 1 week where the fMRI will be done along with certain brain activity testing; Phase 2 will be conducted over 6 – 7 weeks where participants will do 30 TMS sessions combined with computer generated CBT and repeat the Phase 1 tests; and, Phase 3 will be 3 visits over three months to rate participants' depression symptoms. A complete description of the study can be found at clinicaltrials.gov.
Low Level Light (or Laser) Therapy, also sometimes referred to as "Phototherapy", was the subject of a recent study that sought to compare the effects of red and infrared LLLT on skeletal muscle fatigue in humans. A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled crossover trial was performed on 10 healthy male volunteers. They were treated with active red LLLT (660nm) and active infrared LLLT (830nm) or an identical placebo at identical locations before exercise. The study concluded that both red LLLT and infrared LLLT therapy were significantly better in delaying muscle fatigue than placebo and, further, that there was no significant difference in result between the two active LLLT therapies. A full discussion of the study parameters and results can be found at www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) was recently used in combination with metabolically supported chemotherapy (MSCT), ketogenic diet (KD) and hyperthermia (HT) to treat a 29-year old patient with Stage IV Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC). The patient was admitted to the hospital in Istanbul, Turkey in October, 2016, where a whole body PET-CT scan revealed a primary tumor in her left breast, multiple left pectoral and axillary lymph nodes, multiple widespread liver masses, and an upper left nodular abdominal lesion. Following a treatment protocol consisting of MSCT, KD HT and HBOT, a follow-up full body PET-CT scan in February, 2017 showed a complete therapeutic response with no evidence of abnormal FDG uptake. The treatment protocol above was continued until April, 2017 when the patient underwent a mastectomy which revealed a complete pathological response consistent with the PET-CT scan imaging. The complete report can be seen at: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.
On June 12, 2017, TheraMind Center of Santa Barbara announced our role in a collaborative clinical research project with Westmont College. This Independent Review Board (IRB) approved study, under the direction of Westmont's neuropsychopharmacologist, Dr. Ronald See, aims to evaluate the proportional levels of certain salivary substrates throughout a typical course of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS), one of the primary treatment modalities used at our Center. Despite rapid advances in rTMS as a viable therapy for drug-resistant Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), understanding of the fundamental biomechanisms of rTMS and its key clinical effects are limited. The physiological measures which are the subjects of this clinical study have been shown to be linked to affective regulation, stress-responses, and autonomic nervous system activity. Previous studies have sought unsuccessfully to establish reliable biomarkers for the identification of neurobiological correlates of rTMS administration. The study being sponsored by Westmont College and the TheraMind Center of Santa Barbara hypothesizes that these salivary substrates may act as reliable biomarkers for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation rTMS treatment outcomes. If proven, the study will be a significant tool for clinicians in their efforts to effectively treat patients suffering from depression.
The TheraMind Center of Santa Barbara is a unique outpatient clinic providing a combination of advanced diagnostic and neuroimaging technologies, cutting edge neuromodulation technologies including rTMS, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), low level light therapy and PEMF, as well as body-based services. Our board certified and licensed medical professionals promote mental and neurological health through an integrative model designing individual treatment protocols for our patients. We work collaboratively as mutual referrals and adjuncts to local medical professionals for the greatest benefit to our patients. We service four primary demographics: (1) those suffering from depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD and other mood disorders, (2) chronic pain and migraines, (3) traumatic brain injury and concussion, and (4) stroke.
For questions regarding our collaborative project or to make an appointment, please contact us via phone at (805)-845-4455 or via email at email@example.com. We are enthusiastic about discussing the details of this study, the research behind it, referrals for patients / participants, or any other pertinent matters.
Transcranial magnetic stimulations (TMS) is featured in this month's Oprah "O" Magazine titled, "A Twinge of Relief". The article notes the 2008 FDA approval of TMS for mildly treatment-resistant depression and outlines standard treatment information by Dr. Stephen Taylor, MD and professor of psychiatry at the University of Michigan.
Dr. Taylor describes a typical therapy treatment by stating that "magnetic coils are placed on one side of the patient's head to induce electrical currents that cause neurons to discharge—delivering pure energy into the brain." He highlighted that therapy typically involves four to six weeks of 30- to 40-minute sessions administered five times a week in a doctor's office. The positive, he mentions, is that TMS can be as effective as taking antidepressants but with fewer side effects. Dr. Taylor closes by stating, "the idea that we're able to ameliorate depression with a magnet is a pretty cool thing."
With May being Depression Awareness month, Greatday Houston, a daily KHOU talk show, featured NeuroStar TMS Depression Therapy on their May 18, 2015 Medical Monday series. Guests included Dr. Cathy Hart, Medical Director of a local TMS Therapy Center, and a Greatday Houston viewer who had tried this new depression treatment. Dr. Hart explained how magnetic therapy works, a no pills and no surgery depression treatment, while the guest explained her struggles with depression and her TMS Therapy success story. View the show.
This month, Fox 40, WFTX-TV in Fort Myers, Florida featured special news coverage on TMS therapy and one women's life changing experience. The special report was called "Latest Technology 'Zaps' Depression". Diagnosed at 13 with medical depression, Jessica felt isolated, constant sadness and contemplated suicide. She wanted to share her story of struggle and success to hopefully inspire others. After the day-to-day struggles and trying so many different medications, her doctor felt she was a good candidate for TMS therapy. Jessica mentioned that the beauty of the treatment was that it didn't hurt, there were no side affects and it truly changed her life. Read or listen to her story.
NewsChannel 3 in Virginia recently featured a medical segment on treating depression without drugs. The special, "Can Depression Be Treated Without Drugs?" documented a 35-year old patient and local newspaper reporter from Peninsula who suffered from depression most of her adult life, including battles with social anxiety, phobia and paranioa. Finally, she discovered a doctor in Virginia Beach who was using TMS therapy. After six weeks of weekly treatments, she was able to get back to her normal life and do one of her favorite things again, writing. Read or listen to the whole story.
WOSU, an Ohio State University radio station, recently featured Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, TMS, as a new depression treatment option that is showing success among some who have struggled with mental illness for years. The show and article highlights one patient's experience with TMS therapy after suffering from depression for over 13 years. Mr. Jefferys used drug therapy and counseling for years but at one point attempted suicide. Finally, at 48, he learned about TMS therapy. Read or listen to his TMS success story.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation therapy continues to receive great media exposure as more and more success stories are shared. A recent December 15, 2014 Us News and World Report article detailed one patient's success story and how transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, saved her life. The article also describes the origin of TMS, how TMS is different from other brain-stimulation therapies, what the treatment is like, possible side effects and those most suited for this type of depression treatment. Read the article.
A machine that sends magnetic pulses into a patient's brain has become the new frontier of depression treatment, promising to ease symptoms for those who have found little relief from medication or talk therapy. The treatment, known as transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, is part of a wave of technologies that attempt to jolt the brain back to health. It caught on quickly after the Food and Drug Administration approved its use six years ago, and more than 25 Chicago-area hospitals and psychiatrists now use TMS devices. Read the article.

How was that Saturday? The day before the Romans had crucified Jesus as if He were a dangerous criminal. The Jewish religious leaders had wanted Him dead. They had what they wanted when Saturday dawned. What about the disciples? Where were they on that Saturday?
It was the Sabbath. Not many would be out that day. For that, I suppose they were thankful. It meant that hiding would be easier than on a regular day. Were they afraid that day? Who did they fear more–the Romans or the Jewish leaders? What were they thinking? Did they feel shame? For certain, Peter did. What about the others? All but John had watched from a distance.Was John looking for them to tell them all that had happened? I wonder if the weather was like it is today in Northwest Florida–clouds and rain to match their feelings of dread and despair.
But Sunday was coming. The Cross was yesterday. The Empty Grave would be tomorrow.
Today we live between the Ressurection and Consummation–between a single empty grave and many empty graves. This period is our Saturday.
Some disciples face death. Many face persecution. Some face illness. Others needlessly carry the shame and guilt that Jesus has already taken away. Despite the uncertainties of our present Saturday, we face tomorrow with hope, because we look back toward a Sunday with an empty grave. A perfect Sunday is coming.

You can rent any of our products including:
- Washing Machines
- Washer / Dryers
- Tumble Dryers Vented
- Tumble Dryers Condensing
- Cookers
Why Rent?
For peace of mind, rental has it all. Renting from us includes delivery, installation and demonstration of your chosen products. We also include unlimited in-home service on your items – covering breakdowns to assistance using your products should you need it; after all, we want you to get the most out of your products from us. Service call-outs are usually with in 1 – 3 working days depending on when you notify us of your requirements. Our engineers fix 90% of appliances first time in the home and will organise a quick replacement if this is not possible. In the event we cannot get your products working, we will arrange to swap it out for a similar product – so you're time without an appliance is limited to as short a period as possible. After all, no one wants to be without a washing machine so the laundry builds up!
Remember, this is all part of the rental service: no extra costs, no high call-out charges and no expensive repair or replacements costs.
Low outlay – a mid-range washing machine could cost you £400, plus delivery, installation and disposal of your old one, and many only come with a 1 year manufacturer's warranty – renting the same machine could cost as little as £17.29 per month – no extra charges for services or extended warranties.
Maybe disposable income is tight and other priorities take precedent? So the new Washing Machine has to wait? With rental's low outlay you could have it after all!
Poor Credit / Currently Unemployed?
Clarence William can offer a rental package to suit your budget and credit rating. With an ever changing catalogue of ex-rental items. Second-hand washing machines start from as little as £3.99 a week, cookers from £3 per week, Dryers from £2.50 per week – all depending on specification, age and condition etc.
How Do I Rent?
Call us to speak to one of our friendly and knowledgeable staff. Let them know what you're after, either specific load weight or an idea of what you want or need so they can guide you through some options to help you choose.

- Any previous addresses in the last 3 years you have lived at
- Employment details if applicable

How Can I Pay?
Payments are due on a weekly basis, and start one week after your products have been delivered, payable in advance each week. Payment can be made by Direct Debit or standing order.

How did you get started in your career and what drew you to Allen & Overy?
I was interested in going into law while at school and, once I underwent a leg amputation when I was 17, decided that it was a career that I could still pursue despite my disability. I read Law at University of Leicester and was encouraged to apply to leading City and international firms on the back of my results. I was fortunate enough to complete a vacation scheme at A&O in 2012, and was offered a training contract later that summer.
I was particularly interested in Allen & Overy because of its global reach, and the wide range of work I would have access to within the organisation. I'm always keen to take responsibility where appropriate and possible, and felt that I would be able to do that in A&O. Once I spent some time in the team in 2012, I knew it was an organisation I wanted to be a part of.
How do you manage your disability at work?
I'm really quite fortunate in that it doesn't affect me too much. Obviously, most of my working day is spent sat down in one form or another, whether that's at my desk or in a meeting. I loosen my prosthetic limb when I'm sitting at my desk, and when I stand up, it "clicks" back into place through a mechanism, so it can cause some colleagues to wonder where the sound is coming from!
I just have to be careful that I don't overdo it outside of work. A few long days and evenings where I'm very active can lead to some soreness on my stump, where the prosthetic can rub at times, then I may be limping around slightly. No different from a rugby or football injury sustained at the weekend, I guess!
How has your employer helped you to do well at your workplace?
A&O have been really accommodating. I sat down with HR before I started, and we discussed how the prosthetic affects my day to day life. As I said above, I'm fortunate not to be affected as much as others may be by their disabilities, but simple things help. HR approached my trainers in advance, just to give them a "heads up", which takes the pressure off me to discuss when they're completely unaware. I'm very relaxed about people asking questions and so forth, so I just mention to people, in case you see my leg off (as it is occasionally) or hear it clicking in, it's nothing to be concerned about. Everyone's really relaxed about it.
Where do you see your career heading?
First things first, let's just qualify! I'd love to qualify into A&O once I complete my training contract. Where my career goes from there, who knows, but I think it's safe to say I would definitely like to progress up the career path internally towards becoming a partner. I'm a really keen skier outside of the office and run a charity, so there are goals on the side there too, but I worked hard to get to where I am and my priority is my career here.
What advice or top tips would you offer?
Just be honest, up front and talk about your disability. For me, it was all about how I portray myself to others. I don't feel limited by my disability, in fact, I think my experiences give me a unique view on lots of things, and enable me to bring a different viewpoint to the table when we're working on a deal. I firmly believe that a disability can be a very positive factor when seeking a job, because you develop very specific "soft" skills which others won't have picked up through experience. It comes more naturally and can really help you make an impression, not because of your disability, but because of your personality.

How To Spend A Few Days In Paris
If you follow me on Instagram then you know that I recently got back from Paris! It was my second time going there and I loved it just as much as the first time. There are SO many amazing things to do in Paris, but if you only have a few days, here are my recommendations on how to spend them...
1. Take a stroll down Champs Elysees & see the Arc de Triomphe
Champs Elysees is such a beautiful street filled with plenty of places to shop and eat. Plus, you'll run into one of the most famous structures in Paris, the Arc de Triomphe. You can walk underneath it or go to the top to get some cool views of the city!
2. Check out a museum or two
The Louvre is one of the most famous museums in the world. It's known both for how it looks on the outside and the famous art on the inside (looking at you Mona Lisa). It is huge so you could easily spend a big chunk of your day there. Another amazing museum to check out is the Musee d'Orsay. I actually prefer looking at the art in this one. And while you're there make sure you snap a pic of Paris through the clock window.
3. Notre Dame Cathedral
Another amazing piece of architecture that is not to be missed. And you can go inside for free!
4. Palace of Versailles
If you have the time, definitely hop on the train and go to the Palace of Versailles. Both the palace and the gardens are breathtaking.
5. Hot chocolate at Angelina
This hot chocolate is worth the hype. It's thick and delicious and you may have dreams about it for the next few months.
6. Eat all the croissants and all the macaroons
While on the topic of delicious things, let's not forget that you should most definitely have a croissant for breakfast every day and at least 1 (or 5 or 10) macaroons per day. Laduree has magnificent macaroons, or you could just get some at Angelina after you've had your hot chocolate.
7. Moulin Rouge
If you want to do something fabulous then see Moulin Rouge. The costumes are beautiful. The music is beautiful. It's just beautiful.
8. See the Eiffel Tower during the day. And at night.Seeing something in person that you've seen in movies/in pictures a million times is a really cool experience. The Eiffel Tower is stunning so make sure you see it in all of its glory during the day when it's light out and when it gets dark out. The light show that comes on at night is mesmerizing.

text: 'She's becoming Al Sharpton, Alaska edition' read the headline for today's Politico story on some leading conservatives' growing disillusionment with Sarah Palin. The line was courtesy of Weekly Standard writer Matt Labash, who noted with apparent dismay Palin's "frequent appeals to victimhood and group grievance." Clearly conservatives consider the comparison an insult. But Reverend Al, for his part, says he refuses to be baited into getting offended. Instead, he tells us, "I would look at it with some curiosity, but it's a funny circumstance to see them in. A lot of the establishment in the civil rights community didn't know what to make of me [either]." Now, Sharpton says, the "question is whether they're trying to distance her and therefore remove themselves from somebody they have lost control over."

|My latest trip to Lowes. Can't beleave my luck. Now what to do with so many. I couldn't resist buying all of them. Also a little Rhipsalis succulent told to have orange flowers.
Aug 1, 2013 6:17 PM CST
|Nice find on the sanseveria, Stush. I probably would have done the same and give the others away as gifts to my gardening friends. Is your rhipsalis by any chance acanthorhipsalis? I bought one this spring. It hasn't bloomed yet, though.
Aug 1, 2013 7:09 PM CST
|That's a nice score and in good pots too. Just make sure they drain but knowing you, you've checked already.....
It's 'Bantel's Sensation' by the way. I have a Sansevieria friend and he has taught me a lot about this cool plant. Especially to get the names right
Aug 1, 2013 7:33 PM CST
|Score. Nice. I like.
Aug 1, 2013 7:50 PM CST
|Nice good haul!
Aug 2, 2013 7:10 AM CST
|Yes they are Bantel's Sensation and there are 6 plants in each pot. They were filled with water and had to drain them before buying them. I just can't figure how they are so good looking. They were there for several months and was filled with water the whole time in a air conditioned store with artificial lights. I have told them in the past to not water the Sans but the clerk told me that he does and they love it. Which I told him not so. Which I wasted my time. But now? What's going on? I know Sans but I am confused.
Debbie, It is and look at the picture. I have labled it. Orange flowers they said? In a few years I may find out.
Aug 2, 2013 7:20 AM CST
|By the way, My proposal to put into the plant data base was refused due to Zulu saying it doesn't exits. Or maybe I misspelled it.
Horticultural name Discoverer Plant Patent no. Date patent granted
S. trifasciata 'Bantel's Sensation' Gustav E. Bantel 796 May 20, 1948
They didn't show any way to answer them.

|You can always drop Zuzu a tree-mail through her regular profile.
In the end, only kindness matters.
Science is not the answer, it is the question.
Aug 2, 2013 10:20 AM CST
|that is what I would do.
Aug 2, 2013 10:37 AM CST
|Stush, the conditions you described of wet air conditioning I cannot say was a good situation but I have seen them growing in a bog situation in Puerto Rico.
I always thought they liked it dry but the ones in PR in the bog area in very dark areas were as tall as me and looked so happy to be grown in that condition.
Aug 2, 2013 11:52 AM CST
|Sans were the only plants of my mom-in-law that survived their month long flooding a couple of years ago in the Phil, her garden in about 3 feet of water. The plants thrived in it..but I guess what kept them going is the consistent hot tropical temps they have..85F to 95F. I think as long as the temps are mild and not too cold, the plants will not mind getting a lot of watering even standing water as such. By mild I'd say temps around 65 to 70F. Just my observation.
Aug 2, 2013 12:55 PM CST
|That is what I think is why they do good with a lot of water when it is hot. Early this year when it was in the 90s and raining everyday my Sans have grown a lot.
Aug 2, 2013 1:09 PM CST
| I almost killed my Sans two years ago, having left it outdoors during winter, in the cold and in the rain. Had to repot much smaller, kept it indoors for about a year, and took awhile to recover. But it did, though it has reverted to just green coloring. This summer it is outdoors, but in the shadier side of my patio, and gets daily watering. It is enjoying that daily morning shower especially when our temps goes above 90's to 100's..it is so happy to get refreshed by water.
I am learning a lot from it..applied similar water drenching to my other succulents, hoyas, orchids, amaryllis, epiphyllums, cycads etc..and all of them much improved. I guess in my area since it is very, very dry, and very warm, during summer the plants will not mind daily watering since Mother Nature has none to give for us at this time of the year, and besides all my plants are in containers..so the dry out is faster too.
Aug 2, 2013 1:18 PM CST
|@tarev which of your plants reverted to green? Just curious.
Aug 2, 2013 1:19 PM CST
|My Sans..it reverted to green with specks of white..used to have yellow gold outlines.
Aug 2, 2013 1:30 PM CST
That is the first time I herd of a Sans doing that. I know if grown form leaf cuttings it would loose it's variegation but not from rhizomes or stolens. I too would like to hear more.
Aug 2, 2013 1:50 PM CST
tarev said:My Sans..it reverted to green with specks of white..used to have yellow gold outlines.
I understood that, just wondered which one it was. Picture?
Aug 2, 2013 1:58 PM CST
|You are right Stush, it did the reverse variegation on the leaf cuttings that I managed to salvage from the dying mother plant.
This was the mother plant, when it was severely stressed in Feb 2011. The plant was collapsing already from the base. Leaves folding and breaking, so sad when this happened then.
After letting it dry out & repotted, I was left with this for about a year, very slow growing and recovery:
I repotted again in a smaller clay container, and in late spring brought it out to our shady side of patio. Summer came, and the heat waves, watering daily..and plant is much better..all new growth are green with waves of white..oh well..at least still alive and going stronger now:
Aug 2, 2013 3:06 PM CST
|very interesting!! Glad you were able to save it. And is that a Sweetheart Hoya I see peeking on the side?
Aug 2, 2013 3:18 PM CST
|Yup that's sweetheart hoya - variegated..it is enjoying the outdoors too, but in shade I almost slowly killed it early Spring this year, first time to bring it out, getting severely sun burnt, moved it to different areas in the garden...glad it recovered when I placed it in shade beside the Sans.

When is the new Solo Violin going to be released?
Although not soon enough, I heard hint of some time in April.

I don't think we have ever heard how difficult data collection and sample correlation might be in your process. A few questions:
1) Now that you have the base technology in place, how hard is it to create a new model? In other words, when handed a new physical instrument, how long does it take to sample all the sounds you need to analyze and align?
2) Can you apply what you've learned to any bowed string instrument? For example, how much of a jump is it to capture the physics of a double bass? And how much of a stretch will it be to start to model winds and brass? (tonguing, reed clicks, etc)
3) Eventually, could a Strad model be morphed against a model of another violin maker? Such as to capture a "genetic child" of a Strad and a Guarn?
4) How much of the process is dedicated to modelling the original player himself? I can only imagine the same Strad may sound different in two player's hands (vibrato, bowing, gliss)!
I also understand if you can't yet reveal this information due to secrecy!
Incidentally, I think the Strad in this demo, when playing portamento in the low ranges, can start to approximate a Chinese erhu instrument, which is very exciting to me!

Beracah's Board in Action
Beracah, Zambia — We received communication from Carmen Brubacher, Partnership Developer to Zambia regarding the board of Beracah:
"While attending the workshop for loan officers, I was able to observe the Beracah board in action and was impressed with their servant hearts. Throughout the workshop, it was the board members who were organizing and serving meals, running to the market to get supplies, and making sure that the participants all had what they needed. The board also visits each child on the program once a month, even though Beracah has care givers that also visit the children. It is a rare thing to see such service from leaders in Zambia. Beracah has really set a great example of leadership in their area."

Copyright Laws, Napster and Personal Ethics
Abstract: The current lawsuits against Napster have brought out new ethical issues surrounding the exchange of MP3s and copyrighted material on the Internet. This paper discusses the ethical case against those who participate in MP3 trading services such as Napster and suggests ethical alternatives to these services.
The free exchange of CD-quality music in the form of MP3s has created quite a stir in the media in the past few years and has forced the public to take a hard look at the laws governing electronic data. After the invention of MP3 files and the creation of free distribution channels such as Napster, individual users of the Internet gained incredible power in interpreting copyright laws. In the midst of the lawsuits and the controversy surrounding Napster and digital copyright laws, the Internet user must determine how to ethically decide on the use of MP3s.
Of all controversies surrounding digital copyright laws on the Internet, the Napster lawsuit has received the most media attention because of its wide popularity and revolutionary approach to file sharing. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is suing this Internet service for "lost revenue" from songs Napster users downloaded for free using its services. As the RIAA represents major record labels such as Warner Brothers, this lawsuit represents the first major copyright litigation brought against an Internet service. In addition, this lawsuit has many implications for other laws governing the Internet, not just those pertaining to copyright infringement. This case is forcing America and other countries to think about the laws that govern the relationship between companies that provide Internet services and ones that provide Internet content.
On the legal side, section 512(a) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 says, in essence, that those who provide Internet services are not held accountable for the content that passes through their systems (1). On May 5 of last year, however, a U.S. District Judge rejected Napster's use of the Copyright Act to defend itself because Napster is not a Service Provider' in that it does not actually provide the connections for the users. Napster only provides address information for two users trying to connect and thus is not governed by this law. Until recently, Napster has also relied on the 1992 Audio Home Recording Act which defines music copied for personal use as legal, but late last year another District Judge decided that Napster was conversely contributing to widespread copyright infringements (7).
The Napster case has caused rifts between both Internet users and artists. Most artists equate MP3 trading as nothing other than thievery, but there are also artists who believe that Napster will give them more exposure and help their music careers. Lars Ulrich, of the popular rock group Metallica has been extremely vocal in his condemnation of Napster and has even won lawsuits forcing Napster to ban users who trade Metallica music. Artists who side with Napster are such famous musicians as rapper Chuck D. and Limp Bizkit (1).
Even if the RIAA were to win the lawsuit and Napster's activities were judged illegal, it would be almost impossible to stop MP3 trading on the Internet. Other programs, such as Gnutella (http://www.gnutella.com), give users the same file exchange capabilities as Napster but have no central server (1). Each network that a user sets up becomes an autonomous MP3 server, so the government cannot target a single site and shut it down to prevent online users from exchanging MP3 files. Thus even people who side with the RIAA are skeptical that this activity will stop anytime soon.
In recent news, Napster signed a contract with music supplier Bertelsmann AG (BMG) to provide download-for-pay MP3s to their current user base (3). Critics and users are skeptical of Napster's attempts to move into the...

Is the future of your family lands secure? If you own forestlands, you probably want them to remain in the family and be cared for and enjoyed by your heirs. All of us recognize that forest stewardship is future oriented; many landowners view their property as a legacy for their descendants. Without a well-designed estate plan, however, your good intentions might leave your family with little more than an overwhelming tax burden. It used to be enough simply to will the property to your heirs, but that may no longer be sufficient. Today's rising land values, combined with state and federal estate and inheritance taxes, can make it difficult for heirs to follow through on the objectives of their benefactors. Here is a hypothetical but realistic example of what can happen.
Bob Wood and his wife, Sue, owned several hundred acres of Bob Wood and his wife, Sue, owned several hundred acres of hardwoods bordering a state highway and state forest. In part because the land had become a prime site for residential development, the value of the property (land, improvements, and timber) was assessed at $2 million in 2008. This surprised the Woods because they paid less than $200,000 for the land in the 1950s.
They wrote their will, leaving the jointly owned property first to each other, and then bequeathing it to their son, John. Their belief was that, after they both died, John would take over and the land would be safe. They knew that John would want to keep the land in forest and probably live in the family home. Bob died first, leaving the property to Sue. When Sue died, the property went to John. Later that year, John received notice that he owed a combined federal and state inheritance tax of $179,800. Because there was no large cash component in his inheritance, and because federal rules require payments within nine months, John had no choice but to sell the land quickly to pay the taxes.
The land had been assessed for its potential development value, and that value was realized. John both lost the land and watched it become single family lots almost overnight. His parents' good intentions were not enough to allow him to keep the land they all valued so much. To make matters worse, John had to pay both federal and state income taxes on the money he received for the land. A well-designed estate plan would have ensured that the Woods' land was passed down intact and without a heavy estate tax burden.
In 2001, the federal government passed the Taxpayer Reconciliation Act, which raises the maximum personal exemption from federal estate taxes from $1 million to $3.5 million in 2009. In 2010, the tax is repealed and reappears in 2011 at 2001 levels.
Proper estate planning is the key to avoiding the kind of inheritance nightmare John Wood faced. This bulletin outlines the procedures necessary to create an estate plan that will ensure the orderly transfer of your cherished forestland, intact and with a minimum tax burden. To protect all that you have invested in the stewardship of your lands, it is critical that you take this additional, future-oriented step. Estate planning is complicated, however, and involves many different skills, some of which you will need help with. This bulletin also provides advice on how to assemble a strong estate planning team.
The first thing to do when planning your estate is to prepare an inventory of all of your assets--real estate, other personal property, cash, insurance policies, stock, and so forth. Remember that all of these items will be counted as part of your taxable estate.
Next, identify your goals for the future use and disposition of your property. Your goals might include protecting the forested, undeveloped condition of the land you enjoy; managing it for timber; and/or providing financial security for a spouse or other heirs. Planning early increases the potential for all of your goals to be met. Taking a "wait and see" attitude can be risky. It is important to discuss goals with family. For example, ask what happens to the forestland if no estate plan is made.
An estate plan does not diminish your current options for the property, but rather provides a basis for good decision making and ensures future security. An estate plan can be changed, to some extent, at any time.
It is better to have a plan and change it than not to have one at all.
Unfortunately, the estate planning process can be a do-it-yourself venture only in unusual cases. Most landowners will have to involve several parties and recognize that there will be some initial expense; however, the costs are minimal in comparison to the possibility of losing the family lands. You can reduce the initial outlay by becoming familiar with the process of estate planning and doing some of the work yourself. In addition to those who will be your heirs, a good team includes your family attorney (see Questions to Use When Choosing an Estate Planning Lawyer, below), an accountant who specializes in estate planning, an insurance agent, a forester or natural resource specialist, and possibly a representative from a local conservation organization or town planning board. Such a combination ensures that the needs of everyone involved will be addressed.
The rationale for involving a member of the local planning board is not to constrain your options, but to recognize that your property can be subject to many external pressures. For example, your property might be seen as prime development land by some. The planning board member can help you and your heirs anticipate future pressures and account for them in the estate plan. Not all parties will agree on all issues, but you should remember that the final decisions rest with you.
Federal inheritance taxes apply only if your taxable estate is worth more than $2 million in 2008. However, Pennsylvania inheritance taxes apply for estates over $3,000. Do not assume that your land's value is low. Today's fair market value on land, improvements, and timber can be surprising. Getting your property appraised is a necessary step in the estate planning process. A complete appraisal includes physical inspection of the property, research of deeds and local land use regulations, a complete investigation of market conditions applicable to this type of land, and a determination of value. Be sure that the appraiser has the credentials to do a fair appraisal of forestlands and has no conflict of interest, such as an interest in selling the property to developers.
You have several options for ensuring that your estate transfers smoothly, painlessly, and intact. For example, you can gift the land a little at a time to your heirs, arrange for all or part of the land to be protected through a conservation easement, or give the land to a charitable organization. A combination of these options might be the best way to meet your goals. Each of these methods, along with its associated benefits and limitations, is outlined below. For more information see the references below.
One option to ensure that land stays in the family is the annual "gifting" of parts of the property. According to the Internal Revenue Service code, each owner of the property can give cash or the property equivalent of $12,000 to any number of individuals each year without federal gift taxes being applied. If the property is owned jointly by two or more people, each person can give away this amount each year with no maximum limit on the number of recipients.
Before giving land to your heirs, be sure to assess their ability to continue paying the property taxes. Once the property has changed hands, it cannot be included in the taxable estate. Control of the land is an important issue, however. If the "transferor" (the "giver") retains control or use of the land, it may be seen as an incomplete gift. In that case, there would be no estate tax reductions, because the land still would be counted as part of the estate.
Lifetime giving does not ensure that the land remains undeveloped, unless it is accompanied by a conservation easement or some other land use restriction. It only puts off decision making for a generation.
Conservation easements and restrictions are a versatile way to both protect your current use of the land and maintain the open-space character of that land in perpetuity. A conservation easement is an agreement between you and a nonprofit conservation organization or government agency. It can be granted or sold to the organization. An easement allows you to continue to own the land, but places restrictions on its current and future use. It also vests oversight responsibility in the easement holder. Easements usually apply in perpetuity. Even when the land is sold, the easement continues on the designated property and transfers with the deed.
An easement may provide substantial tax benefits. Estate assets are reduced by the easement value, and when the easement is donated, the landowner can deduct up to 30 percent of the easement value each year for 5 years. An easement typically lowers the property value, sometimes reducing property taxes. This reduction might be a further incentive to grant an easement on your property.
Easements do not necessarily preclude all future development you might choose to pursue. Easements can be written very specifically to allow a limited level of development, beyond which restrictions apply. Public access, active forest management, or a total set-aside can be parts of an easement. A common misconception is that open recreational access is a necessary part of an easement; this is not true. It is, however, one option to be considered.
Conservation easement agreements must cover restrictions on use; rights reserved by the landowner; and who is responsible for holding, inspecting, and enforcing restrictions. The agreement must be filed with the county in which the land is located. This allows future owners or potential buyers to access the information contained in the agreement. Of course, the responsible organization and you should also retain copies.
Nonprofit conservation organizations are subject to economic forces that occasionally lead to their demise. It is a good idea to consider this in the easement process. The agreement must make clear what the fate of the easement would be in the event that the organization ceases to exist. You might want to specify a "backup" organization. By doing so, you can ensure that one will assume responsibility if another loses legal identity. Under Pennsylvania practice, a court of competent jurisdiction, usually Orphan's Court, will assign the easement to a similar organization if no other provision applies. Another option is to develop a plan to pass the easement on to a public agency if the organization fails.
Estate planning for forest landowners is unique. Choosing a lawyer to assist in the process requires special considerations. The following questions are designed to help you assess the candidate's knowledge of estate planning as it relates to forestland.
Q: How is form "T," Forest Industries Schedules, used to formulate adjusted basis and depletion of timber lands?
A: Schedule "F" of Form "T" provides a series of questions that establishes depletion or adjusted basis.
Note: Basis is essentially a calculation of "book value" for the land.
Q: What is "Special Use Valuation" and how does it apply to forest ownership?
A. Special use valuation is a special provision within the Federal Tax Code that allows an estate to be evaluated by its present use rather than the highest and best use, which is normally used. Under certain circumstances, forest estates can be appraised for timber growing use rather than for potential development use, thus reducing the value of the estate and estate tax liability.
Q. Who is the consulting forester you have worked with in other estate planning endeavors?
A. Although the answer may include several foresters, you should expect the lawyer to have a working relationship with a capable and trustworthy forester.
Q. What is a "Conservation Easement"?
A. It is an agreement between a landowner and a conservation organization or public agency that restricts the use of the property in perpetuity, to keep the land in forest use.
Q. When a conservation easement is passed to a legal recipient, how many years does one have to use up (carry forward) the value in tax deductions?
A. Fifteen years.
Q. What is a "Remainder Interest"?
A. The act of making a gift now to take effect at the time of death.
Q. At what estate value must one begin being concerned about federal estate taxes?
A. In 2013, estates of $5 million or more were subject to federal estate taxes. This exclusion is now set permanently and is indexed for inflation.
Q. How many estate plans have you prepared for nonindustrial private forest owners?
Q. What is your fee schedule?
Q. How will you determine what my interests and objectives are? (It is important that you choose a lawyer who has your interests and objectives in mind.)
Q. Can you provide three nonindustrial private forest landowner references who have received estate planning services from you? (You should contact these references for recommendations.)
If property is owned jointly, the owners have the option of providing for a trust in the will. Let's say the estate is worth $3 million in 2002 and one owner dies first. If $2 million worth of the estate goes into trust, or to the heirs at that time, then the remainder is worth $1 million. This allows the surviving owner a greater chance of giving enough to keep the estate value below the estate tax threshold ($1 million). Although trusts are not fully explained here, they also are a useful tool in this process. Be sure to ask your advisers about them.
As mentioned above, giving the property in advance of the death of the owner eliminates any estate tax from that part of the property. This may be of little interest, however, if you have no children or family to whom you wish to give the land. In this case, if you wish to keep the land in forest use, a charitable contribution or bargain sale may be appealing. This can provide tax benefits as well.
Property can be sold at a "bargain price," which is some fraction of its actual market value. This type of sale is considered by the IRS to be partly a sale and partly a gift. If property is sold for 50 percent of its value, then 50 percent will be considered a gift. Income from the sold portion may be subject to income tax, while the gifted portion may be subject to gift taxes. This can be an effective way to transfer the title of some or all of your property without excessive estate taxes. Careful calculation is crucial.
Part of good stewardship is casting an eye to the future. Remember that forests are "our link to the past, our legacy for the future." Dealing with our own mortality can be difficult, but it is reassuring to know that we can see to the long-term care of our land. If you do not already have an estate plan, please start developing one today. There are plenty of resources available to help you, but you must take the first step. Your heirs and fellow stewards will thank you.

Offering Memorandum Preparation
An offering memorandum is often needed in order to raise capital from investors. The Prospectus.com team has been involved in the creation and implementation of over 5,000 offering memorandum and prospectus documents spanning over 50 jurisdictions worldwide. We can ensure that your offering memorandum is structured correctly.
The OM, as it is also referred to, or the "offering memo", is document that outlines the sale of the company's securities. Such a document would include detailed information on the company's securities being offered, the pricing of the securities, the market of the company, the management team and much more. The offering memorandum is an all-inclusive document that, if warranted, can be given as a single document to an investor to provide information needed to make an investment decision.
Different Types of Offering Memorandum
Equity: an equity offering memorandum is often used for companies that are selling shares, such as common stock or common shares, or for various funds such as hedge funds or mutual funds. An equity transaction is when a company normally sells an ownership type stake in a company. While this is the case for many public transactions via an IPO – where if you buy stock on the public market you are a part owner of the company – for funds, this is not necessarily the case. Funds such as hedge funds may sell equity in the form of participating shares (even many classes of shares) but this does not necessarily grant ownership or even voting rights to the investor. For all private transactions relating to the sale of securities, a document needs to be given to an investor in order for them to make an educated decision about investing. While the prospectus is one such document and the private placement memorandum another, the offering memorandum is often given as well.
Debt: For those companies that issue debt securities in the form of, for example, bonds, convertible bonds, notes, debentures and other securities offering types, an offering memorandum is also needed. The OM will detail the amount one is raising, the maturity date, interest rates and many other variables and characteristics, including information, if need be, on clearing and settlement and depository services.
Worldwide Term Usage
The usage and popularity of the term offering memorandum is understood worldwide to mean a document, referred to as a "memorandum", which details what the company is "offering" in return for investment capital. Read it backwards and you get "memorandum offering", (i.e. a document detailing the offering of securities). In addition to the term "offering memorandum", the most popular terms for such a document are a prospectus, an offering circular, a private placement memorandum, and a "red herring".
Subscription Agreement
Finally, each offering memorandum will include the subscription agreement, which is a document that is essentially the contract between the investor and the company selling securities. The subscription agreement outlines the terms, has numerous places for the investor to complete, and usually gives instructions where to send a check for subscribing to the securities, or bank wire details. The subscription agreement is also of great importance to the offering memorandum, and in many cases is considered the "shoes" of the documents, while the rest of the memorandum is the "clothes". Said another way, without a subscription agreement, there can be no transaction between an investor and the company if there is no subscription agreement.
The Prospectus.com team of consultants and lawyers can help draft your offering memorandum for either debt or equity issuance in an effective, fast and affordable way.

So there you have it.
As news that Tom Brady's season is likely over many across the country were celebrating the perceived end of the Patriots season, and perhaps the dynasty.
So much for moving onto a new season with no drama and soap opera storylines.
My own thoughts are simply this: I'm devastated by the injury and the fact the Brady is probably done for the season. Once I accepted that, the season got interesting again. The Patriots will no longer be the top dogs where each week our biggest worry (beyond the already-happened Brady injury) is an upset by an opposing team trying to make their season. Last season was weird like that…it was hard to really enjoy the games, with all that was at stake each and every week.
There are several players on this Patriots team who seem to thrive on and relish in the role of the underdog. Well, the Patriots aren't going to be the favorites any longer, each week is going to be a challenge, and it could even be fun seeing how they face the challenges of each week along the way. Watching to see who steps up this season will be interesting.
I'm a wild-eyed optimist by nature when it comes to my teams, and looking at the remaining talent on this team, I'm not counting anything out of the realm of possibility. The Colts sure didn't look like Super Bowl contenders last night, nor did the Chargers.
Chris Warner on Patriots Daily has wrapup on the game, which the Patriots did win, to extend their regular season winning streak to 20 games. Chris Price knocks out the 10 Things We Learned Yesterday.

Hector Longo has Cassel delivering the goods for New England. Jennifer Toland has the Patriots persevering through the Brady injury. Mark Farinella says that now is the time for the philosophy of Bill Belichick to kick in…come to work, prepare each week, do your job. David Brown notes that the world did not come to an end as was expected with a Brady injury.
Bob Ryan says that injuries are a part of the game, and the Patriots recognize this. John Tomase asserts that the Patriots Super Bowl hopes are dead. Jim Donaldson agrees, arguing that the Patriots season could be over before it even began. Jeff Jacobs looks at whether Cassel has what it takes to lead the Patriots. Bill Burt is intrigued by what could happen this season, and seeing if the rest of the Patriots step up their game in Brady's absence. Peter Gobis has the little things paying off for the Patriots here. Eric McHugh says that the defense is going to have to step up even more for the Patriots with Brady out. Ron Borges reminds us that Bill Belichick is "41-56 with any starting quarterback not named Tom Brady." That is the kind of objective, hard hitting analysis WEEI.com brought him on board to bring…
Mike Reiss says that Matt Cassel did well in relief of Brady yesterday. Steve Buckley says that Cassel was good, but he still remains a mystery. Glen Farley looks at Cassel stepping in and leading the Patriots to the win. Buckley also looks at the Cassel/Moss touchdown play. Robert Lee says that Moss reading the defense and changing his route, along with Cassel recognizing what Moss was doing, made for the play of the game. Donaldson has Cassel making the most of his opportunity. Toland has Moss ready to embrace Cassel with Brady out. Farinella watches as Cassel steps in, steps up.
Chris Forsberg has Sammy Morris, who contributed mightily to the win, forced to talk about his blocking skills after the game. Lee says that Morris and Maroney once again formed a solid tandem in the running game. Tomase has a look at the play of Ellis Hobbs in the new-look secondary yesterday. Young notes that Hobbs contributed big on both defense and special teams in the game yesterday. Dan Ventura has the running game stepping up at the right time. Donaldson has Deltha O'Neal making a game saving play in his Patriots debut. Farinella also has O'Neal there when it counted.
Bernard Pollard is a name that will live in infamy around these parts. Barbara Matson has the Chiefs safety trying to give his side of things. Dan Duggan has Pollard shrugging off accusations from Randy Moss of a dirty play. Lee has former Brady backup Damon Huard throwing a scare into the Patriots late in the game.
Gasper's notebook has the Patriots bringing in Simms and Tim Rattay for tryouts. Guregian's notebook has the Jets reacting to the Brady injury. Flynn's notebook says that the debates about Pollard's play are just beginning. Kennedy's notebook has the Patriots red zone defense holding tough in the final minute. Rich Garven's notebook has the Patriots extending their winning streak to 20 games. Gobis' notebook has Ellis Hobbs atoning for earlier mistakes. Tim Weisberg's notebook has Sammy Morris happy to just be back out on the field.

Ever since I was five, I have regularly attended church. I was always a rowdy kid who wanted to be the center of attention. I never really paid much attention in church (to the sermons anyway, because me and my friends would be busy joking around in the back). I never really thought about death or heaven and hell. When I became a teenager, I decided to blow off my parents, school and all other authority figures. Without even realizing it I was kind of in a self-destruct mode like many other teenagers seem to be in today. I did what I wanted to and didn't care about anyone else, unless they had something that I wanted, then I would use them. I got involved in some crazy stuff, and started carrying a gun everywhere I went. Thankfully the Lord protected me through it all.
Then one day a friend and me decided to take my little dirt bike out for a drive and on our way back a car hit us. A '97 AUDI to be exact. Anyway, this car ran directly into my leg breaking it in three places. Fortunately my friend was all right; I was the only one who got hurt. While I was in the hospital I suddenly realized that I wasn't as immortal and indestructible as I had previously thought. I realized that one day I was in fact going to die. Of course, I put this disturbing fact far from my mind. I, like most people did not want to deal with the thought of death. It was strange though, soon all I could think about was my death and where I would go. Then one Sunday afternoon, while I was at work, I knew where I was going. For years I thought that since I went to church I couldn't possibly go to hell, but that's not true. I knew without a doubt that I was going to hell because I had sinned against an infinite God and had to pay an infinite penalty, not just because that's what I had been taught, but for some reason I knew this. I went to church that evening and was determined to get things straightened out with God so I could go to heaven. I knew that Jesus Christ had died on the cross for my sins and had risen from the dead so that I could be in heaven with Him (John 3:16), and that He was the only way to heaven (John 14:6). For some reason though, I did not understand that there was nothing I could do to get this eternal salvation. I wanted to accept this amazing offer, but I thought I had to help somehow. I finally realized that this was something Jesus had done for me and nothing I could do could ever get me to heaven, and with this in mind I accepted Christ's offer with open arms and He saved me. I finally had peace and absolute assurance that I was going to heaven to be with Christ. Just like I knew for sure that I was going to hell, now I know for sure that I am going to heaven. You can know for sure that your going to heaven too, but first you must stop putting confidence in what you can do and put your confidence in Jesus Christ and what He did for you.

Can I clean my eyeglasses with dish detergent?
There are oil splash on my eyeglasses. Can i clean it with dish detergent? Will it harm my eyeglasses?

VANESSANo, you should not clean the eyeglasses with dish detergent. Because dish detergent contains many chemicals, which are very slightly acidic and can dissolve alkali metals, which is what your eyeglass lens coatings are made out of. Although this is very mild, over time it might have an affect. In other words, it will hurt your lenses because it has ingredients that strip important coatings off your lenses. The best method of cleaning eyeglasses is to use an eyeglass lens cleaner, which contains distilled water and Isopropanol Alcohol and a lint free chamois cloth. And you can get it from the store or your eye doctor.09/19/2012good (2 ) Report Abuse
EDGAR SchneiderYes, you can. But you must keep in mind that just using a little dish detergent to eliminate the oil part on your eyeglasses. The amount of dish detergent should be controlled. Or else, it may damage the coating part of the eyeglasses. After using the dish detergent, you must use the clean water to wash it and use the smooth cloth to dry it.09/18/2012
Hunter jacksonYes, you can. But you should pay attention on this. You can use dish detergent on your eyeglasses and then wash them with clean water. You must wash the dish detergent out without residual. Otherwise, the dish detergent will be harmful for your glasses especially for the filter of the lenses. Then you need wipe them gently with soft glasses cloth.09/18/2012
Rick JohnsonYeah, the dish detergent can help you clean your loved eyaglasses if you take the right steps. In the chemical boundary, there is one theory called "like dissolves like". Like you said, there is some oil splash on the surface of the glasses, and some certain chemical substance in the dish detergent can dissolve the oil splash. Of course, there will be some resultant after the reaction, and then you need put your eyeglasses under the water till the glasses is clean. Nevertheless, I suggest you take your glasses to the eyeglasses shop to wash if you have time because this way can not clean your eyeglasses totally, and the experts in the shop can help you clean them via ultrasound.09/18/2012
SisiYes. Actually you are totally can wish your eyeglasses with dish detergent, I've used dish soap and warm water to wash mine several times. It works really well. It will not hurt your eyeglasses regardless of their material.01/30/2015
