Download citation file: RIS (Zotero) EndNote BibTex Medlars ProCite RefWorks Reference Manager Mendeley © Copyright Tools Search Book Top Return Clip Autosuggest Results Print Section Listen ++ Pelvic floor disorders are common and severely affect the lives of women who suffer from them. Many of these women are too embarrassed to seek care, and the number of providers well versed in the treatment of these disorders is limited. It is estimated that up to half of women suffer from incontinence and/or prolapse by age 80 years and a third of these women have symptoms severe enough to seek surgical treatment. ++ Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery (FPMRS) has arrived as a new subspecialty recently recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties. It is essential that practicing gynecologists and urologists become familiar with the diagnosis of these common problems and are prepared to offer both medical and surgical treatments. Knowledge of pelvic floor anatomy as well as the physiology of continence and pelvic support is essential. Because the majority of pelvic floor disorders are functional problems that affect quality of life, the practitioner must also be familiar with measures of symptom severity and quality of life impact. While many disorders are treated satisfactorily with medical management, surgical therapies are an essential component of the treatment armamentarium. ++ Within its 37 chapters, Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery comprehensively presents the anatomy, pathophysiology, and medical and surgical treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction. The content is organized into four sections. Section I reviews fundamental topics including epidemiology, anatomy, mechanisms of disease, and clinical and quality of life evaluation. Section II addresses disease states and is divided into four parts addressing lower urinary tract dysfunction, functional anorectal disorders, pelvic organ prolapse, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of pain, urinary tract infections, and sexual dysfunction. Section III addresses clinical management and Section IV surgical management of pelvic floor dysfunction. With a clear, easy-to-follow layout and writing style the book comprehensively covers the breadth of the field. Ample figures and tables accompany the text illustrating the concepts presented. Key Points in each chapter highlight important conclusions made in the text, and a Master Surgeons' Corner outlines important tips and tricks in surgical management. ++ We wish to acknowledge the many international experts who contributed to this book. They represent the leaders in our specialty and the foremost medical institutions. The authors were eager to share their expertise with the gynecologists and urologists who wish to be up to date in this emerging field and who serve the many women seeking freedom from these embarrassing problems. ++ The Editors

Thanyakorn takes one-shot lead after first-round 66
Thanyakorn Khrongpha fired a sizzling six-under-componen 66 to consider a 1-shot lead in the Singha-Sitting Championship 2016 in Prachuap Khiri Khan yesterday.
Thanyakorn Khrongpha.
The Khon Kaen native made six birdies inside a bogey-free round at Regal Creek Club and Resort, and it was one stroke in front of Sutijet Kooratanapisan who'd seven birdies and 2 bogeys.
The 3-million-baht tournament may be the first event under new Professional Golf Association of Thailand president Methee Sudhasa.
Vying for that winner's cheque of 435,000 baht and the 4th ThaiPGA Tour title, Thanyakorn stated he has been around form since he began playing in Japan lately.
"My experience of Japan helps us a lot," he stated. "Should you keep your ball within the fairway, you've got a good possibility of having a birdie."
Six players were tied for third — Udorn Duangdecha, Pariya Junhasavasdikul, Ronnachai Jamnong, Peradol Panyathanasedh, Phiphatphong Naewsuk and Wisut Artjanawat.
Chapchai Nirat, who missed the cut in the All Thailand Golf Tour's Hua Hin Open a week ago, was tied for 13th on 70 together with Thaworn Wiratchant, Poom Saksansin, Nacha Patchana and Thepbadin Amaranan.
In another development, Kiradech Aphibarnrat will tee off in the Players Championship in Florida today.
Because of his world ranking, Kiradech is qualified to participate in the lucrative tournament the very first time. The planet No.42 is grouped with England's Greg Owen and Scott Pinckney of the usa.
It will likely be his fifth PGA Tour event this season because he aims to have a tour card in the finish of the season.
Together with his top-50 position on the planet rankings in the finish of this past year, he's qualified to experience in a minimum of 12 PGA Tour occasions this season.
For world No.49 Thongchai Jaidee, he's going for a break and can go back to action at next week's Irish Open.

Summer is always a beautiful season because it comes with sandy beaches, sunny skies and the longer days. Unfortunately, summer also comes with mosquitoes which normally shouldn't be a problem because we've been using mosquito repellents since around 1956.
However, there are some adverse effects associated with the use of mosquito repellent sprays especially DEET, which should not be ignored, in addition to the chemical smell that lingers on after using a repellent. If you don't like using these sprays using taking vitamin B1 is the ideal solution.
Also referred to as thiamine, and typically found in eggs, brown rice, liver, oatmeal, yeast etc., vitamin B1 is required by the body in fighting stress and boosting immunity. People suffering from gastric bypass, anorexia, chronic alcoholism, Crohn's disease and other diseases that reduce B1 levels in the body are advised to boost their vitamin B1 levels with B1 supplements. As with other water soluble vitamins, there are no fears about taking too much of vitamin B1 as we can always eliminate the excess through urination.
How does it repel mosquitoes? Vitamin B1 changes your body smell to a "yeasty" smell which can be perceived by mosquitoes only and which they find unappealing. This smell keeps them away from you. The amazing thing about it is that humans cannot perceive the yeasty smell.
Although research is still ongoing and there are no concrete conclusions or recommendations yet, this is still worth a trial. Besides, it is an all-natural solution without any side-effects. In fact, people who have used it insist that it is effective.
You can keep mosquitoes away in two ways; either take 100mg of B1 supplements every day or make an all-natural mosquito repellent by following the recipe below.
- Cooled boiled water
- 15 drops tea tree oil
- ½ tsp witch hazel
- 15 drops lavender oil
Preparation Instructions
- Get a 8oz. spray bottle and fill to the halfway point with boiled water
- Add the tea tree oil, lavender oil, and witch hazel
- Use the repellent as required

Scripture focus: Psalms 61:4&6-7
"I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings… Increase the days of the king's life, his years for many generations. May he be enthroned in God's presence forever; appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him."
What David was crying for was made available to us even without praying for it. David longed to be in God's tent forever and be under the shelter of His wings. David must have wanted a deeper intimacy with God, the indwelling of God's spirit. But then it was fulfilled in us even without us asking for it. Why? David was a man after God's heart but we are men whom God is after their heart. John 3:16 talked about God's love for us.
David loved God but God loved us. David was asking for God's shelter but God is already our shelter.
No wonder in Romans 8:31-39 Paul said a lot of things that David would have wished happened in his own time. God is for us and nothing (including Satan) can be against us, not that they won't want to oppose us but they can't. In verse 37 we are more than winners! Meaning that we did not just won a battle, we are under the protective wings of God!
David asked for an increase in the King's life (his dynasty) and asked for an everlasting enthronement which will happen in God's presence (with God's approval) but God did it for "the new creature" even without them asking for it. He did more than what David wanted. He enthroned us (Eph 1:5,11), he did not prolong our lives, he gave us a new everlasting life (John 3:16,Romans 6:23) and He sat us with Jesus in the heavenly places (His presence. Ephesians 1:19:23). We are the body of Christ, so if He is sitting with God, we are sitting with God. When you understand this, you won't fear the devil and pray hopelessly. Let me make it clear, it is only for those who believe, it is not for everyone, it is for those who believe and until you believe it, you can not fully know what it means. God said " my people perish because they lack knowledge". Knowledge is not power, it is applied knowledge that is power. Sin has been dealt with and God is no longer dealing with it. It is only one sin that can destroy a man, it is the sin of unbelief.
Even JESUS said that sins against God and Him (man) can be forgiven but sin against the Holy Spirit (total rejection of Jesus in spite of the signs and total practice of unbelief towards the saving grace of Jesus) will never ever be forgiven. Not that God didn't forgive us but many didn't receive His forgiveness. They rejected it and therefore don't have that package of God's grace.
In 1 John 3:22-24 we discover that it is not in keeping the Moses commandments that we can please God, the commandments we are to keep is to BELIEVE in Jesus as CHRIST and SON of God and to LOVE one another. Those who keep this commands (believing and loving) are those who lives in Him.
I urge you, BELIEVE this gospel and you are free! Nothing else can set you free and if you already believed, continue to enjoy in HIS presence.
Christ is enough! Selah!

JG Flooring offer a professional floor fitting service for domestic, commercial and contract flooring with a surveying and quotation service FREE of charge
Working with customers in both commercial and residential sectors offering a fully guaranteed and experienced solid wood floor fitting service for your piece of mind.
Solid wood flooring is made from one piece of hardwood timber. The width of the boards can range from 90mm – 210mm and the average thickness is 18mm.
Engineered Flooring is constructed of several layers of wood.
It will usually consist of three different layers, a top hardwood layer, a core middle section and also a balancing bottom layer. All these are glued together under extreme pressure at 90 degree angles to each other.
Laminate flooring is not a real wood floor but a high quality photographic image of wood. This is placed onto a HDF core board and is coated with a melamine wear layer.
It is this wear layer which makes laminate flooring extremely hardwearing and much less liable to scratch than a real wood finish.
We supply and fit parquet flooring in both engineered and solid wood, both of which can be treated to look aged for a traditional rustic look.
Our parquet flooring can be laid in whatever style you wish including herring bone, basket weave, brick and chevron style.

Jamie has done work for me on both my residential and a rental property. On both occasions, the quality of the work was great. He's very knowledgable and also helpfully arranged sub-contract for some vinyl installation.
Highly recommended.
Excellent service from Jamie & Troy, efficient clean & polite. Engineered wood flooring fitted to lounge hall & kitchen, looks fantastic and great attention to detail. We are really pleased with the job they done and would definitely recommend.
It makes a refreshing change to meet people that actually care about the work they are doing! Jamie and his colleague put down a solid wood floor in our hallway. They are perfectionists who will never cut corners and their work and their work and their attention to detail in my opinion is second to none
We would definitely recommend them
Absolutely fantastic job, our solid oak wooden flooring looks amazing. Re are really pleased with their professional work and attention to detail from JG Flooring and will definitely use them again. Highly recommended!!
Just a quick word how satisfied we are with the flooring work carried out in our house. We would gladly recommend Jamie and the team from JG Flooring.
I am extremely happy with the floor fitting service Jamie and Troy provided and my sitting room looks amazing now. They both worked very hard, did the work in the time quoted and were very tidy and careful in my house. Jamie made sensible and practical suggestions to any issues. I would, without a doubt use them again and recommend them highly.
Thank you for the professional service in our home! The JG Flooring team produced excellent work with great prices too match! We were very happy with the end result!
Jamie fitted the wooden dance floor at the first Bardello (Damson Lane, Solihull) in 2009, and did such an excellent job that when we moved to Monkspath Business Park Unit 37 Jamie fitted all flooring (2011). We expanded further and moved to Unit 36 (2013), and contracted Jamie to fit flooring not only for the sprung wooden dance floor (23mx23m), but for the cardiovascular and gym area. We would recommend Jamie every single time. He is extremely professional, easy to get hold of, and provides an excellent service.
Jamie fitted the laminate flooring in my lounge. I am delighted with the result. Jamie worked efficiently and impressively.
He tidied up as he went along – what a pleasant change not to have to clear up after floor fitters!! Jamie is highly professional and I would not hesitate to recommend him to other customers who require his specialist skills. 20 out of 10.
We found 'J.G. Flooring' by doing a Google internet search. Jamie and his colleague were very helpful and friendly and we were very happy overall with the fitting they did for us. They were informative, listened to what we wanted, gave general advice and were also very prompt with all the work.

Sunday's Fight Night festivities in Oklahoma City saw some unexpected finishes on the main card, but the biggest favorite on the UFC odds board made the biggest impression.
Would Michael Chiesa have tapped anyway? We'll never know. Chiesa found himself on the wrong end of a Kevin Lee rear-naked choke Sunday night in Oklahoma City; there were 23 seconds left to go in the first round when referee Mario Yamasaki called an end to the fight, even though Chiesa (+120) had yet to submit or pass out. That was your main event at UFC Fight Night 112. Meh?
Here at the ranch, we had our eyes on the opening fight of the main card. B.J. Penn ended up with a lot of public support for his matchup with Dennis Siver, enough to move all the way down to +117 after ballooning to +196 in early action. We didn't get full value on Siver at -235 for our recommended UFC picks, but Siver did pay out with a decisive victory – majority decision notwithstanding. Penn took a disturbing amount of punishment in the third round. His next fight might have to be with Bellator if he wants to keep going.
If Penn was the biggest name on Sunday's Fight Night card, Johny Hendricks was a close second. But he didn't win, either; Hendricks (-155) lost the first round of his co-main event to Tim Boetsch, then got absolutely mauled to start the second round, which ended mercifully 46 seconds in. Maybe Hendricks wasn't quite right after trying and failing to make weight for his second crack at 185 pounds – actually 186, since this wasn't going to be a Middleweight title fight. Hendricks came in at 188 pounds. This was after failing to make weight twice in the Welterweight division, where he held the title back in 2014.

UFC-OKC results: Dominick Reyes follows up 'KO of Year' candidate with big finish in UFC debut https://t.co/R7DK8kxwvY— MMAjunkie (@MMAjunkie) June 26, 2017
Hendricks had better think twice before moving to Light Heavyweight. Dominick Reyes, one of the most hyped-up prospects in MMA, was the biggest favorite on Sunday's main card, checking in at -325 on the UFC odds board for his matchup with Joachim Christensen. Reyes was all over Christensen like white on rice, winning by TKO in just 29 seconds – a record for a fighter making his Octagon debut. Reyes earned a performance bonus for that victory. It might not be long before he wins the belt, too.

Today marked the official debut of Taco Bell's new Cool Ranch Doritos Locos tacos, the obvious and much-anticipated follow-up to last year's Nacho Cheesier version. We picked up several of the tacos from the Taco Bell in the Ogilvie Transportation Center downtown for $1.39 each. Here's what we thought.
Brian Moore, web editor: I was expecting to bite into what would taste like a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos with some taco meat (no horse meat hopefully) and cheese thrown in for good measure. What I got instead was the familiar taste of a Taco Bell taco with a bit of the Cool Ranch Dorito flavor to give it a little extra umph. Good enough, but not sure it's worth the extra 30 or 40 cents.
Adam Lukach, web intern: Unfortunately the flavor of the Cool Ranch didn't really hit until the end, and it didn't have the flavor-strength of their breath-ruining chip brethren. I had a supreme taco though, so that could have been a factor with its added ingredients. Overall, though, I probably wouldn't cough up the extra 30 cents or whatever it is for these, but I might if I was feeling personally generous. Pro tip: it's worth the extra cents to have a Cheesy Gordita Crunch with this shell inside instead of the standard.
Lisa Arnett, Eat & Drink editor: I didn't eat much junk food as a kid, but Cool Ranch Doritos were my jam. These tacos don't have the same eat-them-until-your-mouth-is-numb quality as the chips, though. I didn't taste the seasoning at first, probably because it didn't seem to be very evenly coated on my taco shell--in some places, the seasoning had gathered in a ring along the top edge. Though it didn't have as much punch as I expected, it was still a fun alternative to a regular shell.
Kate Bernot, nightlife and events reporter: The Cool Ranch taste isn't noticeable until the very end of a bite, and even then, it's faint. Given the circumstances under which I normally consume Taco Bell (choose two of three: after 2 a.m.; with a BAC over the legal driving limit; while in college), I likely wouldn't notice the Cool Ranch flavor at all. No way would I cheat on my Cheesy Gordita Crunch for this.

RRIF Loan & Other AAF Government Subsidy Funding Plans. The issue of AAF's Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing (RRIF) loan application was raised during the June 30 court hearing.
DOT and AAF, as usual, tried to have it both ways, arguing in their brief filed in January that RRIF funding is possible, in order to show a source of funding other than the PABs. However, at the hearing they reversed this, claiming that AAF is not pursuing a RRIF loan "now" and hence the case should be dismissed on standing grounds as not a major federal action. This contradiction underlies AAF's problems in this case.
A recent Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that CARE sent to DOT seemingly corroborates that AAF is not currently pursuing a RRIF loan. CARE sought all 2016 communications between the agency and AAF (and its affiliates) on the RRIF loan, and DOT responded to CARE on June 15 noting that the agency had found no records responsive to CARE's request.
With respect to overall funding for the AAF project, CARE continues to monitor any and all developments closely. CARE notes that AAF has yet to sell its PABs after four different proposals were made to investors, and is evidently not actively pursuing a RRIF loan—two major sources of federal tax dollars that it previously touted as important components of the project. In addition, AAF has made only limited public descriptions of how it might fund construction of its proposed passenger rail project through our Treasure Coast communities.
While AAF is great at issuing press releases about building and construction activity on Phase 1 from West Palm Beach to Miami, it is important to note that those announcements have no bearing on the second phase of the project north of West Palm Beach to Orlando—the phase that would directly affect and disrupt our communities.
Permitting and Rulemaking. In coordination with the Counties, CARE continues to monitor and involve itself in the permitting and rulemaking actions of other federal and state agencies—including the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE, or the Corps) and two Florida Water Management Districts—and is considering legal interventions and actions on these permitting issues. CARE is ramping up as agency actions move forward.
CARE has retained the Shubin & Bass law firm with respect to AAF's permit application before the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD, or the District). On July 22, the SFWMD listed AAF's permit application as "complete" and a decision regarding the District's likely intent to issue a permit for AAF is forthcoming. Martin County did not agree with this completeness assessment.
August or September is the possible time frame for a decision from the District. Any entity that submitted a "point of entry" request to the SFWMD—CARE included—will be informed of this notice in writing. Once the notice is issued, CARE and/or the Counties will have 21 days within which to request an administrative hearing.
CARE is continuing to examine potential legal options with respect to the SFWMD permit and next steps. To the north, Indian River County is examining similar issues related to the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD), and CARE will report more on these efforts in a future update.
Developments have also occurred in the ACOE permitting process. It has recently come to light that the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has intentionally relinquished its previously-held role as the lead agency for "Section 106" review—that is, reviewing the AAF project's impacts on historical and archaeological sites pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). In addition, the FRA is also no longer acting as the lead agency for NEPA purposes—a decision that was likely made in an effort to impact the District Court case discussed above.
These two developments increase the likelihood that ACOE will be forced to take on a more important role in the permitting and review process of the AAF project, serving as the lead federal agency for both Section 106 review and NEPA purposes. To this end, the Counties and CARE remain in communication with the Corps and continue to stress the numerous deficiencies in AAF's ACOE application, as well as in the AAF's similar analysis appearing in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) that was released by the FRA nearly one year ago.
CARE expects to report more to its supporters on these two areas in the coming weeks.
Public Relations Update. CARE has continued to respond to media inquiries that have resulted in published stories about the public safety challenges and other impacts to the Treasure Coast and N. Palm Beach regions. Most recently CARE received a call from an Orlando TV station, WFTV, which featured an investigative report, with our input, on AAF's "secret" that it will be transporting dangerous liquefied natural gas on the tracks that run through our communities. We have provided you with a link in our In Case You Missed It section below. Also, CARE received a great response to its candidate questionnaire and the committee is in the process of grading the submissions. An overall scorecard will be released to the media to highlight champions for CARE's cause in the coming days. Additionally, CARE placed an opinion editorial, which pushed back against calls for us to throw in the towel, which was featured in multiple outlets including Sunshine State News, the TC Palm and the Palm Beach Post. Finally, John Payson, a longtime resident of Jupiter Island and supporter of CARE, penned a letter in support of our efforts that was also featured recently in the TC Palm.

Winning this fight against AAF is up to CARE and the residents of the Treasure Coast communities who have the most to lose from this project. Please continue to stand with CARE and oppose AAF!

"Debates" in quotesAuthor: admin
Against the informed advice of smarter, saner people, I've tried – yes, really tried – to watch the presidential "debates" this year. Even though there's only been one real "debate," I've tried to watch all of what the national media passes off as "debates."
I put the word "debate" in quotes here because all but one really weren't actual debates. They were shows – displays of unchecked egos – flights of brainless fancy – unfounded charges – verbal putdowns – lies and damned lies. In terms of issues, they lacked reality-based discussion of the problems this nation faces and avoided mention of a number of subjects voters need to know more about from the candidate's perspective. Nada. Zero. Zip.
The only real debate thus far has been the Sanders-Clinton match-up on MSNBC – and not because they were Democrats. Simply put, it was because the candidates were allowed to go back and forth directly and the two moderators stayed out of most of the discussions. There was actually a 28 minute period when no one spoke a word except the candidates – something I've never seen before.
There are two reasons why Republicans have shown so badly. First, there have been too damned many of them. When you have six-eight-10 or whatever behind matching podiums, there's no real opportunity for meaningful face-to-face action or moderator followup. People just fling a bunch of unchallenged statements or charges without being cross-examined for accuracy or truth. Throw it against the nearest wall and see what sticks.
The other reason is that GOP candidates – all of 'em – deliberately avoided subjects on which they could be challenged. If you wanted to see how each felt about global warming, it never came up. In any meeting. Not once. If you wanted realistic in-depth discussion of whether we should continue or change our approach to middle east issues, it didn't happen. Not once. Lots of irresponsible gibberish about nukes, carpet bombing, unwarranted attacks on the current administration and empty threats made by voices with no serious knowledge of what they were talking about.
Maybe there's a third reason for the failure of GOP "debates" to have any real substance. That's the candidates themselves. With one or possibly two exceptions, the rest didn't deserve a place on any of those stages because they had nothing serious to say. The one talking about "carpet bombing" couldn't accurately describe it in a media interview the next day.
In a way, I envy the people of New Hampshire for making candidates show up for small town hall gatherings – one-on-one. I learned more about Bush, Christie and the rest by watching some of these back-and-forth sessions with real voters. Hard to hide who you really are when it's just you and 50-60 people sitting around in a circle listening to every word. A lot more information – and better information – than the televised "debates." As a result, by the end of this week, there'll be fewer Republican candidates.
The recent GOP "star" has been Rubio, though his stock took a real plunge Saturday. Pleasant enough fellow. Good speaker. Pleasant appearance. But he's undisciplined and, at the moment, an untruthful voice for his party.
An example. Last week, President Obama visited a mosque in Baltimore. Among his remarks describing this country, he said "An attack on one faith is an attack on all faiths. We have to reject a politics that seeks to manipulate prejudice or bias and (which) targets people because of a religion." Word for positive word.
Rubio's reaction? "Always pitting people against each other. Look at today. He gave a speech at a mosque. It's this constant pitting people against each other that I can't stand." Word for lying word.
It's this kind of uncalled for B.S. that's marked the Republican "debates" and has made them far less useful than they were intended to be. I don't care which party or what candidate positions are on anything as long as they can clearly state those positions without a lot of carping and flinging too-often false charges about the sitting administration, each other or anyone else. Just make your case as clearly as possible, avoid useless and false rhetoric, stick with the truth and let us know who you really are and what you really think. It's just that simple.
Some advice for Republicans left in the count. If you'd like to know how that's done – what a real debate can be – how much more effective you may be – dig up a tape of the Sanders-Clinton match-up. You may not like what you hear and their answers might not be your answers. But count the number of subjects addressed, the depth of understanding each participant was allowed to display and the amount of real information produced for voters in the same 120 minutes as your last "debate."
Candidates should not be up on that stage for their own gratification. They're up there to make give important information to voters – you and me – about subject knowledge, goals if elected, direction of the country and improving our national quality of life. So far, one of those debates has done that. The rest are still "debates" in quotes. Spectacles we can do without.

Hey Guys, I made a chat room where people can talk to each other. Its limited to the people that frequent this site only and requires no registeration though it needs a username each time you go on the chat page. Its a good one, its graphics kinda crappy but the function works fine. I hope I did not overstep my boundaries on this...here's the link
I'm guessing in order to be able to talk to one another, you need to be on the same time and allow the other guy to talk to you. You can even have private chats and ignore the other people that come on, which I think makes it possible of having a few different chat pages at once at the same time. Please try it out.
BTW I named the chat page Haven Chat...
Also, I think it'd be easier if you tell the other person you're going on the chat so they'll know, I know that's abvious but just checking.

- Deluxe Tour - As Per Itinerary
- As Per Itinerary
- The sacred town of Kandy and the elephant orphanage
- Sri Lanka's historic sites in the cultural triangle
- After visitng many of the wonderful sights of Sri Lanka, relax by the beach
Sri Lanka was ruled by kings for over two thousand years, a time when Buddhism flourished and became the island's dominant religion. In the beginning of the 16th century parts of Sri Lanka were conquered by the Portuguese and Dutch, before it became a British colony. Sri Lanka eventually gained independent after peaceful negotiations with the British in 1948. The many different rulers and influences have created a rich cultural tapestry - yours to discover on the Sri Lanka Kaleidoscope Tour. You wll visit historic and beautiful cities of Habarana, Polonnaruwa and Sirigiya, the vibrant and exotic city of Kandy, the scenic hills of Nuwara Eliya and end up at the tranquil and relaxing beach destination of Beruwela.
Day 1
Arrival and transfer directly to Habarana, the hub of Sri Lanka's cultural triangle.
Located in the north central part of the island, Habarana is a part of Sri Lanka's dry zone. Thanks to the genius of our ancient kings dating as far as the 05th Century AD, the Sri Lankan Dry Zone is anything but dry, with hundreds of lakes and reservoirs which are connected by an elaborate network of canals making up an old but great irrigation system. Aside from the benefit for agriculture and industry, the waterworks of the dry zone provide some of the most breathtakingly beautiful scenery and fertile habitat for the islands incredible bio-diversity.
Overnight Cinnamon Lodge, Habarana (Superior Room)
(The Cinnamon Lodge is a 05 star chalet style property set in 50 acre park bordering a lake)
Day 2
Set off on a local catamaran after an early breakfast to enjoy the scenic Habarana lake... you will be accompanied by the hotel's naturalist who will be more than willing to provide information on the over 130 bird species and myriad butterflies which inhabit the area.
Later leave for Polonnaruwa, one of Sri Lanka's ancient capitals and explore the ruined palace and temple complex. Explore the site on bicycles... the perfect way to get around the sprawling complex. In addition the elaborate architecture and cultural heritage, Polonnaruwa is home to the largest populations of Toque Macaques and Gray Faced Langurs. Watch these interesting primates as they interact with each other and try to engage humans in their day to day activities....!
Continue riding through the village and get a feel for the local lifestyle enjoyed by the people of Polonnaruwa. Finally stop beside a lake for a wonderful Sri Lankan style picnic lunch. Some of the delicacies included will be fried lake fish and over 12 types of vegetables!
Polonnaruwa rose to fame as the capital after the decline of Anuradhapura. Its period of greatness was from the 10th - 12th centuries AD. The entire landscape of the region is punctuated by huge man-made reservoirs, veritable inland seas the most famous of which is the Prakrama Samudra or the Sea of Parakrama, larger in size than the Colombo harbor. The monuments of this medieval city are relatively well preserved and give clear evidence of the glory of Sri Lanka's past. See the Royal Palace complex, the Quadrangle with its concentration of ancient heritage and the spectacular Gal Vihare complex of four massive images of the Buddha, cut from a single slab of granite - a highlight of ancient Sri Lankan rock carving.
The evening is at leisure to relax and enjoy Habarana
Overnight Cinnamon Lodge, Habarana (Superior Room)
Day 3
The morning relax and enjoy the wonderful surroundings of Habarana, walk by the lake, relax by the pool or take some Ayurveda Therapy at the hotels excellent wellness center and spa.
In the afternoon, after the mid-day heat has subsided, visit Sigiriya and climb the rock fortress.
Sigiriya - A mighty 600 ft high rock-fortress of a 5th century King is famous for its entrancingly beautiful frescoes which are found in a sheltered pocket of the rock. One cannot fail to marvel at the masterful execution of the sinuous forms of these women (originally 500, of which only 19 remain today). The old stairway to the top led through the mouth of a huge crouching lion, carved from the rock- today only the paws remain. Remains of the handsome royal citadel are on the summit.
Overnight Cinnamon Lodge, Habarana (Superior Room)
Day 4
Leave after breakfast for Kandy. Stop en route in Matale to visit a spice garden to see Sri Lankan spices growing in their natural habitat and also to learn of their usage in local cuisine.
In the afternoon explore Kandy, Sri Lanka's hill capital and also the center of Sri Lankan arts and craft. Visit the local market and experience the sights, smells, sounds and the 'buzz' of this hill citadel.
Also visit the Temple of the much revered Temple of the Tooth Relic of the Lord Buddha at 6pm in time for the evening 'pooja'. This is an inspiring and moving experience for persons of any faith.
Kandy - a lovely exotic city, the Hill Capital and last stronghold of the Sinhala Kings is a UNESCO World Heritage Site which retains an aura of grandeur, time has not affected. Encircled by hills, with a tranquil lake in its centre, it is the site of the renowned temple that enshrines the Tooth Relic of the Buddha and the Royal Botanical gardens - home to one of the world's best collections of Orchids. A cultural sanctuary where many legends, traditions and folklore are still lovingly kept alive, Kandy and its satellite villages are the centre of the islands handicraft industry (items of wood, brass & silver) exquisite silver or gold jewellery and precious gems of many varieties including the world's best blue and star sapphires. The highlight of the city's calendar is the Esala Perahera, when a replica of the casket enclosing the Tooth is taken in procession for ten glittering nights in July/August by exotically costumed dancers, drummers and approximately 100 Elephants.
Overnight The Cinnamon Citadel, Kandy (Superior Room)
Day 5
Leave after an early breakfast for an excursion to Nuwara Eliya. Located at approximately 6000 feet above sea level, this is Sri Lanka's tea growing region. As you climb higher in to the hills, you will drive past resplendent, tea covered, green hills which look much like a lush green carpet has been rolled out over the mountain scape. Cascading waterfalls only add to the serendipity of the scene.
Visit a tea plantation and factory to witness the process of turning the raw green leaf in to the familiar black/brown finished product.
Enjoy a glimpse of Sri Lanka's colonial past which is still very much a live at the Hill Club in Nuwara Eliya where you will stop for lunch...
Nuwara Eliya is the heart of Sri Lankan hill country. It is the home of the famous Ceylon Tea and the rolling mountains are a carpet of velvety green tea plantations, interspersed with gushing streams and tumbling waterfalls. The salubrious climate, misty glens and the decidedly British character make Nuwara Eliya a must on any Sri Lankan travel itinerary.
Return to Kandy
Overnight The Cinnamon Citadel, Kandy (Superior Room)
Day 6

Lately, I have been spending more time with my Chinese friends and family. I notice, as I grow older, I am relating more to my parents and understanding their culture, views and mannerisms. It is amusing to hear my friends exchange stories about their up bringing.
For example, I do think it is okay to hit your kids. I was hit as a kid, and I turned out fine (see photo below, i am still smiling!). However, you just cannot leave any marks- the U.S. looks down upon that. I am only joking!!!
Growing up in Texas though, it was that much harder to fit in. My parents did not understand why it was important to blend in and fit with the American ways. I knew I was different when I sported a knock-off Hello Kitty backpack that said "Happy Day Advtures" on the first day of school. Fast forward to my high school senior prom, I asked my mother for some money to attend the prom and she gave me $50.00. I asked her if it was for hair and make up. She responded, "It is for everything,".
Top 6 ways to tell that you are Chinese…
1. Your parents gave you the bowl hair cut, save money
2. Your father thinks he can fix everything himself to save money
3. You/ your parents reuse foil, gift wrap, Ziploc bags
4. You/ your parents grab extra napkins, ketchup, sugar and other condiments that are available at McDonald's/ Starbucks etc.
5. You parents do not say "I love you" or show physical affection
6. You carry Asian guilt for not following through with _______ (I am always guilted into things, enter situation in the blank given)
6 acceptable career choices for the Chinese
1. Own your own business (and you must be successful at it. No holidays open 365)
2. Become an accountant (or in the financial field i.e.: )
3. Become a doctor/ dentist (anything in the medical field that requires a Ph.d)
4. Become an engineer
5.Become a computer programmer or a tech/IT related position
6. An attorney
This post is not to offend any of my people, but just stating my experiences. To my family and friends, please share your stories! I know I am NOT alone! Many immigrant families all have similar stories about saving money to give their child a better life. I want to learn more! One of my favorite movies of all time is My Big Fat Greek Wedding- I could TOTALLY relate to that movie on so many levels! Another favorite is Joy Luck Club! I think if you mashed the two movies together the movie would be about my life and my future wedding!

Homemade Caramel Sauce
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 3 pieces
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
Warm the milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat while you make the caramel.
Add the water and sugar to a 5-cup stainless steel saucepan. (Non-stick cookware is not recommended for this recipe.) Heat over medium-high heat until it begins to boil, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar.
Turn the heat down to medium and insert a candy thermometer. (You don't need a thermometer, but it is a great tool for inexperienced caramel cooks.) Do not stir the sugar as it boils.
As soon as the mixture reaches 330 degrees F, watch for it to turn a deep amber color and immediately remove it from the heat. Take care not to let it go too far because it will burn. Carefully and slowly pour the hot cream into the caramelized sugar while whisking. The caramel will bubble up and is extremely hot. Continue to whisk until all the cream has been added and is mixed in thoroughly.
Whisk in the butter, vanilla, and salt. Set the pot on a wire rack to cool completely before transferring to a glass container for storage.

Oshakati councillors, CEO grilled over land deal
Ongwediva Minister of Urban and Rural Development Sophia Shaningwa reportedly summoned the CEO of Oshakati, Werner Iita, Mayor Katrina Shimbulu and five councillors to her office to explain the sale of a prime piece of land at Oshakati for a song. Shaaningwa was reportedly not amused with the questionable allocation of the prime land in Oshakati to Mouse Properties. Shimbulu and other council members are said to have ignored procedures and allocated the 3 633-square metre plot, worth N$47 million, to a company belonging to business mogul Erastus 'Chicco' Shapumba for a meagre N$2.5 million. An independent valuer contracted by the council reportedly pegged the market-related value of Erf 1342 - which used to be Oshakati Open Market - at worth N$30 million. The valuer further suggested the land should not be sold at any price less than N$17 million, or above the maximum of N$47 million. Oshakati Town Council's land committee had also set up a score-sheet with requirements to be met by any potential developer. It is alleged Mouse Properties scored only 57.13 percent from the score-sheet and was ranked fourth among the companies that applied for the said portion of land. Although Shimbulu denied being summoned to Minister Shaningwa's office, well-placed sources maintain she had a meeting with Shaningwa on Monday, where they were warned to go and "clean up their mess" . Shaningwa reportedly also warned the councillors not to talk to the media about the meeting. In the meeting, some councillors allegedly accused Shimbulu of autocratic leadership and of being disrespectful towards them. Contacted for clarity, Shimbulu said: "I don't know what you're talking about. As we speak right now I'm in Walvis Bay with work." FAI is a consortium of companies co-owned by business mogul Frans Aupa Indongo, the retired managing director of Telecom Frans Ndoroma and Debmarine Namibia CEO Otto Shikongo and scored 100 percent by reaching all requirements stipulated by council, but later withdrew. Those privy to inside information claim the consortium was deliberately frustrated to withdraw, as the process dragged on for too long, thus delaying the appointment of the successful company. Lynx Property Developer, owned by former MVA Fund CEO Jerry Mwadinohamba, was rated second as it scored 85.71 percent. Chinese-owned Sun Investment cc. came third, scoring 71 percent. Mouse Properties and Swapo-owned Kalahari Holdings both obtained 57.13 percent on the score-sheet and ranked fourth. BH Properties, a company owned by prominent businessman Ben Hauwanga and his wife secured a fifth position by scoring 42.84 percent. Another company, NDI properties, was also ranked at the fifth position, having scored the same percentage as BH Properties. Members of the public have until Friday to object to council's decision to allocate the land to Mouse Properties. Only then, will council refer its decision to Shaningwa for her signature. Meanwhile, Mouse Properties has started with the demolition and clearing of structures at the former Omatalamarket, despite the fact that the formal process of allocating the piece of land is not completed. Last week, CEO Iita confirmed that he was aware of work going on at the former market, but said it done without the knowledge or permission of his office.

Government certification procedures rarely provide strong mathematical guarantees, while certified programming provides guarantees about as strong as anything we could hope for. We trust the definition of a foundational mathematical logic, we trust an implementation of the logic, and we trust that we have encoded our informal intent properly in formal specifications, but little else is left open as an opportunity to certify incorrect software.

I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2014 after needing an ovarian cyst removed. Apparently I was only at stage 2, so it was easy to remove with no complications. I was advised to start the combination pill to keep the endo at bay - which I have been on ever since.
I have been pain free since the laparoscopy in 2014 and so when I woke up with the most agonising pain last Wednesday I was gutted. I went to A&E as it was so awful, and was given tests and a scan - which showed no cyst or anything abnormal.
It is now Sunday and the pain is sitting nicely on my right hand side. I can walk and do things but the pain is awful and I'm wondering if it is endo and if anyone else has experienced the same thing? I have tried to read up on endo, but it is so vague and I hardly know anything about the condition! I feel sick, and the pain is more of a dull ache rather than sharp. I am taking strong painkillers and it still can be felt.
I know endo cannot show up on scans, but if that is the case how will I know it is that, and if it is will this pain go away on its own?
Thanks so much in advance! I am such a worrier xx

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell says as painful as it is for state workers to lose out on their pay temporarily, it's better than having thousands of state workers lose their jobs.
The Democratic governor said Wednesday night that if the budget plan favored by Senate Republicans had passed, about 2,000 to 2,500 state employees would be permanently laid off.
Rendell says he's sympathetic to state workers who aren't getting paid but notes that they will get paid retroactively once the state budget stalemate is over. He says about 60 percent of state workers are getting interest-free loans from banks and credit unions to tide them over.
State lawmakers have been meeting behind the scenes to work out a deal. A conference committee of high-ranking leaders is expected to be appointed Monday.

Audrey Tait is a songwriter and producer, perhaps best known for co-founding Hector Bizerk. Alongside singer Michelle Low, her new outfit The Miss's feature as part of The Flint & Pitch Revue #3 alongside Ross Sutherland, Rachel McCrum, Catherine Wilson and The Strange Blue Dreams. Tickets here.
Cameron Foster of Flint & Pitch, who co-hosts with Jenny Lindsay on Jan 20th, spoke to her about her reflections on 2016 and what is coming up from The Miss's this year!
(Audrey Tait and Michelle Low)
Before we talk about the Miss's; your other band, Hector Bizerk, bowed out in style at the Art School in October – have you had time to assess your impact on Scottish Hip-hop?
Yeah, it's been quite a reflective year and I feel really proud of what we achieved with Hector Bizerk. We started the band to push our own creativity and ended up exceeding the little expectations we had. In terms of hiphop, Scotland has had a diverse collection of emcees, b-boys, djs and graff artists for many years and I think we managed to push out to a wide audience that we could then bring into a vibrant scene they maybe weren't aware existed on their doorstep. I feel like we impacted the music scene positively in general. If there wasn't a door open for us, we'd find a wee window round the back to climb through and that's an attitude I'll maintain for the rest of my life. Too many musicians think they "need" a manager or an agent or whatever but the truth is, you need ambition and the drive to get what you're after and I think we had that in abundance. A bit of talent probably helps too haha!
Despite being busy with Hector Bizerk, The Miss's have been around for a few years too, can you tell us about how you got together?
Michelle and I have known each other our whole lives and when I started drumming in a soul band I insisted they had to hear her sing as she had it in her bones! Sure enough, she blew them away and joined the band. After a wee while, we started trying some covers together with me on the guitar which lead to us writing our own songs. We've went through a few different stages but we both feel like right now is the strongest we've been. I think because we have both always been involved in other projects we've grown in confidence and have more belief in our writing.
You guys certainly aren't messing about, your album Crash due to launch at Celtic Connections in January, what can we expect to hear?
I guess you're right! I hadn't really thought about it like that but aye, we're straight in there with an album! Why not? We both much prefer listening to albums and I think the type of music we make leans more to that kind of audience rather than a few one off singles. We're not looking to hit the charts, we just want people to listen. Crash is a collection of songs mostly written this year and recorded at Paulshalls. I've loved working on it, using production techniques I've picked up over the years in the studio and learning loads more in the process. It's a full band sound on the recordings and we're acoustic for our live shows but either way expect to hear Michelle's amazing voice, harmonies, counter-melodies, dynamics and a drummer playing guitar!
You're obviously quite comfortable flipping between different genres, do you think it's important that a band has a specific "sound", or is that not as important as perhaps it used to be?
I think you can have a "sound" without boxing it into one genre. I love when a musician is recognisable by the way they play and the tone of their instrument/voice so I think that's important but I don't think people are as fussed about being so specific about things now. At the end of the day, a good song will be a good song and that's all everybody is working to achieve. Well, that's our aim anyway.
With an album launch so early in the year, what does the rest of 2017 hold for The Miss's?
We want to get out and play this album! We've both had our fair share of great gigs around the country but not really done that together so that's the plan for this year. Inevitably, we'll keep writing along the way as well.
We're delighted to be welcoming The Miss's to our stage! Tickets here! xx

The details of MetLife's restructuring of the company are beginning to take shape with yesterday's announcement of the sale of their Premier Client Group (PCG). Read on for the details from MetLife.
"As you may know, MetLife and MassMutual have entered into an agreement whereby Mass Mutual will acquire the MetLife Premier Client Group, MetLife Securities, Inc., and related assets. This transaction will enable MetLife's U.S. Retail business to sharpen our focus on our core strengths in product manufacturing. By divesting our affiliated distribution channel, MetLife is now even better positioned to focus on our third party distribution relationships. We will be able to prioritize investments in capabilities to help you better serve your clients. We also continue to work toward the separation of the U.S. Retail business from MetLife, and will provide additional information on the separation as the transaction unfolds. We know you have a number of questions and will do our best to answer them as soon as we can. In the meantime, we want to thank you for your continued partnership. We value your relationship and look forward to building on it over the coming months."
The net result of this for third party distribution is likely a net positive, as it is the first step towards a leaner, more nimble insurance company focused on a singular distribution strategy. PCG represented approximately half of the sales volume in terms of premium, and a greater percentage of the application volume seen by MetLife on an annual basis. The remaining insurance unit will remain a viable, well positioned top insurance company in the United States.
Fortify is in constant communication with MetLife's leadership on any and all developments in this process, and will continue to communicate any details as they become available.
