The water you drink and bathe in plays a huge role in your health, energy and longevity.
Municipal water systems were designed only to deliver water that is free of the most immediate threats to public health such as deadly bacteria (typhoid, cholera and others that killed thousands in epidemics in earlier centuries). Unfortunately, the process of treating water to make it "safe" in terms of bacteria turns the water harmful in many other ways.
Chlorine and chloramine (a combination of chlorine and ammonia) are toxic to the body and cause damage. Chlorine itself also reacts with traces of pesticides and other contaminants in water to make potent carcinogens called trihalomethanes (THMs). The EPA's "solution" for this was to require the use of chloramines, which produce less THMs. The problem is, while chlorine is easy to filter out of water, chloramine is not so easy.
Chloramine requires much better filters and the filters are used up faster. And chloramines are NOT safe, contrary to the powers that be. For instance, fish will die in chloramine water. People who are on kidney dialysis will sicken and die on chloramine water. If chloramine water kills fish and kills people on dialysis after only short exposures, why then is chloramine water "safe" for everyone else to drink for a lifetime?
Then there is the issue of fluoride. The justification used for adding this to water is that it helps protect against tooth decay. That claim is very debatable but even if true, the downsides of fluoride make it a crime to add to our water supplies. Fluoride can cause staining of teeth (fluorosis), make bones brittle (leading to many more fractures than would otherwise occur), and fluoride interferes with thyroid function and this can lead to problems including low energy, depression and other ills that are then "treated" with drugs whose effects are often worse than the conditions they are treating. Check out this website for a real exposé on fluoride.
The skin also absorbs chemicals from water and exposure via the skin can actually exceed what one gets from drinking.
Don't expect that having a filter on your sink, a brand that can be commonly found at the supermarket, Walmart or Target, will handle this situation. If you have chlorine, chloramine and fluoride in your water supply, you need a filter that reduces or removes these contaminants and other chemicals from the water you drink and, if at all possible, the water you bathe in. We have found that very, very few filters do the job adequately.
We've been looking for an affordable whole-house system to deal with chloramine and flouride for five years, since our own community defied public protests and decided to add these chemicals to our water supply. Many people including us cannot afford to spend $5,000 to $7,000 right off the bat for water filtration.
Imagine our delight to find workable solutions for less than a third of the cost of other systems! We've partnered with the supplier of excellent systems to bring it to our customer-friends.

RØDE have once again given us an excellent new DSLR mic this time in the cuter than a button Rode Stereo Mic Pro. Super sound, crazily compact design. This is a massive improvement on the original Stereo VideoMic. Another winner from the boys in Australia!
It also solves a major problem for those who have embraced the world of dSLR video recording as the sound – if available – on dSLRs leaves rather a lot to be desired in the main.
Next, the RØDE Stereo Video Mic is made in Australia, and that has to be good. I have had a tour of the RØDE factory and it is an impressive sight indeed and of course, Australian manufacturing, especially of an accepted world class product such as RØDE is famous for, should be supported and applauded. But best of all, it works like a ripper!
While being light, it is still a strong and well made product. For a true unbiased test, I filmed everything from very soft to extremely loud sources. The quietness of small birds, insects, buttons being pushed, foot steps of dirt and twigs, water from small creeks all sounded very clear and pleasant. Moreover, the mic also shined when capturing loud sounds such as crowds, planes, water falls, vehicles, and even super loud firearms.
I will never never film again without my Stereo VideoMic Pro!
When it comes to microphones I do get a real pleasure in opening the box and in this case I was not disappointed! The Stereo VideoMic Pro is well made and rugged but more importantly for the DSLR market it is light and manageable. To be honest I found the test results for reviewing the RØDE Stereo VideoMic Pro to be much better than I expected. For its size and price the SVMP is exceptional…
This is a beautifully designed easy to use piece of Australian audio engineering which faithfully captures ambient atmospheres. It would be especially useful in natural settings and at musical and sporting venues. I will find it extremely valuable in recording assemblies at the school where I work and in capturing B-roll ambience for my documentaries.
The RØDE cold shoe adaptor is a standard size adaptor, also known as a universal shoe mount. This standard shoe is suitable for the majority of camera attachments. If your camera has a different, or custom adaptor, please contact your camera manufacturer for information on converters to fit the universal shoe connection.
This is usually caused by the function of "Automatic Gain Control" or "AGC" on the camera.
When the camera cannot sense an audio input signal it automatically increases the gain of the input. It is increased so much that the noise floor in the camera microphone amplifier becomes audible. The AGC can be disabled on some cameras and it is worth checking with your camera manufacturer for information on this, which can sometimes require a firmware update to the camera. RØDE have created the Stereo VideoMic Pro to help combat this issue, the Stereo VideoMic Pro contains a 20dB pre amplifier, boosting the mic signal so that the camera will see a good signal level and not engage its AGC.
We recommend setting your audio levels manually to achieve an optimum signal to noise ratio and disabling the AGC of the camera.
We recommend an Alkaline or Lithium battery for the best possible battery life. All RØDE specifications have been carried out using this type of battery. If you use a slightly lower power battery, the mic will work but may not meet our published specification.
Yes, all of our microphones in the VideoMic range have a standard 3/8" thread built into the bottom of the cold shoe mount for connection to a boompole, mic stand or tripod with the same thread size.

Knowing I needed to write this post is what finally got me out of bed today – at 10:30 AM.
It wasn't because I have to pack for tomorrow's free trip to Cancun.
It wasn't the deadlines and work that allow me to make my living from home as a writer.
It wasn't the beautiful city I've moved to, my children that need me, or the husband that loves me.
For about a week now I've struggled to drag myself out of bed every day in spite of those perfectly good reasons to face the day. Once up, I've fought to focus on what needed to get done – and simply decided to not do much of what wasn't absolutely critical. I've slogged through my days aware of the fog that chokes me, but unable to use that knowledge to break free.
But this morning, I knew I had to get up, finally, and hammer these words into existence:
Depression is not ungratefulness.
Whenever the darkness creeps in, I instinctively try to beat it back with an angry list of blessings.
"What do you have to be depressed about? Your life is great!"
I spend so much of my life focusing on gratitude and happiness now that I don't even have to work to remember why I should be happy. I know all the places where joy can usually be found. I know about the miracle of time with nature and the power or giving thanks. Happiness is no longer something I'm searching for, but rather something I strive to embody and encourage. Happiness – and it's precursor gratitude – are as familiar to me as the toothbrush that sits in the miniature glass vase above my bathroom sink.
But depression isn't caused by a lack of knowledge, any more than it's caused by a lack of wanting to be better.
Depression is not an attitude problem.
Depression is a health issue.
I'm pretty vigilant (now) about treating and managing my depression. I use a pill dispenser to make sure I take my two doses of antidepressant every day. I eat more organic and whole foods than junk. I get out of the house regularly. I listen to my body.
And sometimes my body tells me to go to hell.
Despite consistent treatment, I still have what the World Federation for Mental Health calls the occasional depressive episode.
Depressive episode involves symptoms such as depressed mood, loss of interest and enjoyment, and increased fatigability. Depending on the number and severity of symptoms, a depressive episode can be categorized as mild, moderate, or severe. An individual with a mild depressive episode will have some difficulty in continuing with ordinary work and social activities, but will probably not cease to function completely. During a severe depressive episode, on the other hand, it is very unlikely that the sufferer will be able to continue with social, work, or domestic activities, except to a very limited extent.
It's been about three years, I think, since I had my last severe depressive episode. That was the last time I refused to get out of bed for days. That was the last time I had to have Jared come home to take care of the kids, because I just couldn't.
I'm better than that now.
I've been to doctors and I take my medicine and I don't freak out when I feel unmotivated once in a while. In fact, I've learned to just give in when my body and brain demand a mini staycation from time to time.
But once or twice a year, the fog creeps back in. I tell myself it's just one of those times when I need to decompress. I remind myself that my life is great. I resolve to catch up later and just lay in bed a little longer, just this once. I finally get up, but the determination to play catch up does not come. Later, I say. Later.
I've been putting off as much as I can until later for about a week now.
I finally admitted to my husband last night that I've been "having some depression or something."
I don't know what triggers these episodes in a well-medicated woman. It might be the changing light or the fluctuations in temperature. Maybe I have offset the balance between greens and ice cream recently. Maybe the moon and the sun get together and cause these flare ups. I don't know.
I don't know.
It's not easy to admit that you're at the mercy of unseen forces in your body. It's not easy to have to constantly reaffirm that your brain and your body are fragile, and that you will suffer because of it sometimes, no matter how hard you work to keep yourself within the range of normal.
But I know that I am not ungrateful.
I know that happy, lucky, blessed people can have depression.
I got up this morning because today is World Mental Health Day, and this year's focus is depression. I got up because I remember what it's like to not know that depression is not a personality disorder or a character flaw. I remember berating myself for being bad, trying so hard to be more grateful.
Depression is a disease. It can be treated and things can get better, so much better. The fact that I can recognize a depressive episode for what it is now – even if I try to avoid that truth for as long as I can – is a symptom of my treatment. Depression still tries to lie to me, but I can see the untruths for what they are. I still get overwhelmed by fatigue when the fog comes, but I know that it is sickness and not laziness. Most importantly, I know that it will pass.
Because I am treating my depression, I know that I will find a reason to get out of bed again.
Today that reason was you, because maybe you haven't learned yet that gratitude is the key to happiness for a healthy mind. Maybe you still worry that not getting out of bed when you have a great life waiting for you means that you are bad or ungrateful.
Maybe it scares you to know that depressive episodes are a recurring reality, even after treatment. It scares me too, but I'm not afraid of being scared anymore.
Depression is a treatable, manageable illness. It distorts your perception of life and yourself. It can make you tired, unmotivated and unfocused. But it doesn't erase who you are. You're still there, under the fog and the lies and the desperate desire to just go to sleep. You just need some help to clear away the mist.
I got out of bed this morning to tell you that.

Media Contact: Casey McKissick, firstname.lastname@example.com
NC Choices, an initiative of the Center for Environmental Farming Systems (CEFS), has received a $325,000 grant from the N.C. Rural Economic Development Center. The funds will be used over two years to provide small-scale, commercial meat processors across the state with assistance, including business development and technical training. The project is expected to help meat processors grow their businesses, create jobs and advance the niche meat industry in the state.
Niche meats – pasture-raised, grass-fed, local, organic – are the fastest growing sector of the meat industry. The number of farmers in North Carolina who are raising and selling meats to local markets continues to rise and now includes more than 550 registered farmer meat handlers. Meat producers and buyers both rely on independent, inspected meat processors to get their products to market.
"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to help independent processors appropriately scale their businesses. Demand for their services is exploding. Support from the Rural Center will allow us to work one-on-one with interested processors and help them grow sustainably," says Casey McKissick, NC Choices coordinator
NC Choices promotes sustainable food systems through the advancement of the local, niche and pasture-based meat supply chain in North Carolina with programming focused on meat production, processing and marketing. Earlier this week, NC Choices hosted a workshop in Chatham County on "Whole Animal Butchery for Chefs and Farmers." For more information see www.ncchoices.com and www.carolinameatconference.com.
The Center for Environmental Farming Systems is a partnership of N.C. State University, N.C. A&T State University and the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. CEFS develops and promotes food and farming systems that protect the environment, strengthen local communities and provide economic opportunities in North Carolina and beyond. For more information, see www.cefs.ncsu.edu.
The N.C. Rural Economic Development Center is a private, nonprofit organization whose mission is to develop sound economic strategies that improve the quality of life in rural North Carolina, with a special focus on individuals with low to moderate incomes.

How To Treat An Infected Tattoo
If you have any body art, it is always a good idea to know how to treat an infected tattoo. Even if you get it at a prestigious, high-end tattoo parlor, there is still a chance that something will go wrong, either with their tools or with your skin. In any event, it never hurts to be prepared. Treating an infected tattoo is not as difficult as it might sound. All that you need to do is follow a simple set of guidelines and it will be as good as new.
Items Needed:
- A&D Ointment
- Antibiotic Ointment (over the counter)
- Hydrocortisone Cream
- The first thing you should do if you think your tattoo is infected is consult a doctor. You can also consult the artist that did the tattoo, but remember that tattoo artists are not medical professionals. While your tattoo artist may be able to easily tell what an infected tattoo looks like, know that they are not medically trained, usually, so it would be best to make an appointment with your doctor or visit your nearest emergency room.
- Usually, a doctor will prescribe or suggest topical ointments like A&D ointment, Hydrocortisone cream or an over the counter antibiotic ointment. Only use these ointments if you know the tattoo to be infected. Over use of them can result in irritated skin which can possibly lead to infection.
- Keep the tattoo dry at all times. A moist tattoo is the easiest to become infected, especially when it is new. Making sure that it is dry is a great way to prevent infection.
Knowing how to treat an infected tattoo is a great bit of knowledge to have in your arsenal if you find yourself in fear of having an infected tattoo.

About this font family
Bold, black and square. But was first drawn as a logotype for the magazine "BUT – Bilder und Texte" (pictures and texts) which was published by an experimentally-oriented non-commercial initiative. In consideration of the unusual dimensions of the magazine (6 x 14 cm / 2,4 x 5,5 inch), I decided to fill as much space as possible with the body of type. This formal idea refers to the meaning of the title by blurring the border between legible letters and abstract shapes. More…
Because of its origin, But is ideal for short messages in headline point size. Despite its blocky shapes, But creates a friendly atmosphere. The details are as playful as the restrictions that are given by the concept allow them to be. Punctuation marks and other special characters contrast the boldness of the design since they are matching the thin parts of upper- and lowercase letters. This also avoids gaps when longer texts are set.
But is available in open type format and has an extended character set (Latin extended A). Two sets of numerals, one matching the x-height and another one matching the cap-height, are provided.

Edited By: Michael J Balick

Ethnobotany of Pohnpei examines the relationship between plants, people, and traditional culture on Pohnpei, one of the four island members of the Federated States of Micronesia. Traditional culture is still very strong on Pohnpei and is biodiversity-dependent, relying on both its pristine habitats and managed landscapes; native and introduced plants and animals; and extraordinary marine life.
This book is the result of a decade of research by a team of local people and international specialists carried out under the direction of the Mwoalen Wahu Ileilehn Pohnpei (Pohnpei Council of Traditional Leaders). It discusses the uses of the native and introduced plant species that have sustained human life on the island and its outlying atolls for generations, including Piper methysticum (locally known as sakau and recognized throughout the Pacific as kava), which is essential in defining cultural identity for Pohnpeians. The work also focuses on ethnomedicine, the traditional medical system used to address health conditions, and its associated beliefs.
The ultimate goal of this volume is to give readers a sense of the traditional ethnobotanical knowledge that still exists in the area, to make them aware of its vulnerability to modernization, and to encourage local people to respect this ancient knowledge and keep such practices alive.

[All photos by Andreas Branch for PMc] Last night, an assortment of stars turned out for the premiere of Kick-Ass at Hollywood's Arclight Cinerama Dome. The film, which has been hyped a lot in the last few weeks stars Clark Duke, Nicolas Cage, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse (a.k.a. McLovin). At the premiere of the film, which does not hit theaters until Friday, crowds of fans gathered around the red carpet dressed in the costumes of the film's characters. After all, it is an adaption of a comic, which depicts what would happen if people tried to be superheros, so it makes sense that it would draw the comic-con sort of enthusiasm from fans.
We're curious if Mintz-Plasse will be able to dodge the typecast curse and shake his McLovin identity with Kick-Ass. That's a tough one, though. Will you actually be able to buy him as another character on screen without seeing him as McLovin? We'll have to wait and see.

Sharon Shinn's Elemental blessings: Grace, Intelligence, Change
The blessings fit in quite nicely with my goals for this time period, which include withdrawal from most interaction, contemplation on the changes that are taking place/have occurred already in my life following our parents' deaths.
I didn't get enough sleep, last night (5 hours), and I am heading the same direction tonight. The two poems that I wrote on the 26th of July (see TheWrittenWord.net/journal) are important.
I received in today's mail the hardcover copy of Common Ground, by Ryan Pancoast, writer/illustrator. A children's fantasy story of interspecies relations. I like it a lot.
Good night!

My Journey: A Journey by Lamp Light
"Your word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."
~ Psalm 119:105

a Home Management Journey Sign Ups
This whole homemaking thing should be a piece of cake considering I don't have to pump water like Grandma did or ring the chicken's neck and dress it. (I can't even cut up a store bought chicken!) I have the luxuries of a refrigerator and freezer and stove and an automatic washer and dryer and a crock pot that I really should utilize more often and . . . .
Does this resonate with you? I'm on a journey with Large Family Logistics. It's a comprehensive book on the art and science of managing a large family (although any size family would greatly benefit!). I don't know about you, but my home sure needs better management!
Kim Brenneman wonderfully ties Scripture and inspiration throughout her book. There is no better way to manage a home than through the wisdom of God!
Please join me on this journey!
We will start Friday, April 21, 2017. I'm estimating it should take us between 8 and 12 weeks to complete the book. We can bless each other in each step of the way.
The book is out of print so you will need to locate a copy. I found mine through a homeschool used curriculum Facebook group. There's many on Amazon. There even may be a Kindle version!

- 12 whole fresh mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 (8 ounce) Toffuti cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup grated vegan Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet alumiinum foil that has been coated with cooking spray. Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Carefully break off stems. Chop stems extremely fine, discarding tough end of stems.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and chopped mushroom stems to the skillet. Fry until any moisture has disappeared, taking care not to burn garlic.
Set aside to cool.
When garlic and mushroom mixture is no longer hot, stir in cream cheese, Parm, black pepper, onion powder and cayenne pepper. Mixture should be very thick.
Using a little spoon, fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount of stuffing. Arrange the mushroom caps on prepared cookie sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the mushrooms are piping hot and liquid starts to form under caps.

Guys, I noticed that tabbing in the menu on the right does not work in Linux.
In example GTK when using:
Code: Select all
dim as string sBuf = "Open" & !"\t" & "ctrl+O"
dim as string sBuf2 = "Close all" & !"\t" & "alt+f4"
In Windows works correctly:
Code: Select all
Open ctrl+O
Close all alt+f4
However, in Linux it turns out very ugly:
Code: Select all
Open ctrl+O
Close all alt+f4
Is this a Linux problem (window manager) or something I do not know?
P.S. I tried on the example of the delivery of the compiler (Compilier\examples\GUI\GTK+\Tutorials\menu.bas), just by adding tabs(\t).


text: I've noticed that when I walk into a Bestbuy or a Fry's electronics that many people don't understand what all the specifications on the computer tag means. For instance, many think that the CPU is the computer itself which it is not. The CPU—Central Processing Unit—also known as a "Processor" is the brains of the computer not the whole computer itself. Also for other stuff like memory, hard drive, graphics, etc. Most but many people don't know what they mean or do. Here I will explain to you what those specifications on the tag means and do.

1. Because the skins are upscaled to 2x the size of standard textures, these skins may cause FPS loss on underpowered computers.
2. Due to the new paint job system introduced in ATS 1.4, the rear of the 20/53 ft. Dry Van and 48/53 ft. Reefer 3000R trailers use the same texture.
3. Due to the mapping of the 53 ft. Reefer 3000R trailer, the decal placements may not be exactly the same as the real trailer.
4. Several plain skins are included and may later be replaced with other companies.

I have a bathtub with a tiny tiny crack near the drain. It looks like it used to be covered up with some sort of putty or caulk that surrounded the drain which has gradually worn away over time. What can I use to replace that seal around the drain? Is that the proper way to seal the crack?
The appropriate patch material depends in large part upon what material the tub is made of. Some tub materials cannot be patched reliably and are just ruined if they crack. Caulk or putty is only a temporary fix for a crack near the drain no matter what the material is.
You can perhaps use an epoxy resin on it or some sort of hardening crack sealer, especially if it is a fiberglass/composite tub material. However, the chances are unfortunately good that the crack will always be there and you just need to replace it or keep patching it every few years.
Look at your phonebook under Porcelain repair. This professional can repair any kind of cracks and match it with the same color. It can cost upto $100.
OR....... do you have a crack in the tub like Lawrence and the SurfaceDr have guessed.......
I wonder if the crack you're refering to is around the drain itself...........The junction between tub and metal drain.........
OR....... do you have a crack in the tub like Lawrence and the SurfaceDr have guessed.......
If its fiberglass, you can have a fiberglass repairman come out and repair the area. Many tubs are damaged in shipping, the manufacturers use these repairmen to fix the problems. The repair is done so well you can't even tell it was done. Check with your local plumbing wholesaler for who they use. If its porceline, you can repair it, but it won't last.
Good Luck

Yoga Teachers: Stop Giving Terrible Dietary Advice To Your Students
By: Casey Conroy
I write this as a yoga teacher, and as a yoga student. I write this as a dietitian and nutritionist who sees the women and girls in clinic at the back end of yet another gruelling 10-day juice fast, or another winter freezing through raw foods; their thyroid, adrenals, and/ or reproductive health just a bit more depleted. Their relationship with food and their body having slid yet another few degrees backwards into disordered and potentially dangerous territory. Their self-confidence and self-trust bruised and just a bit weaker. Some of these people are yoga teachers themselves.
I write this with deep concern and remorse for any past student to whom I may have passed on potentially harmful nutrition advice before I learnt more about diet culture. I'm sorry. I didn't know that diet culture, and the body hatred and dysfunction around food it creates, was such an insidious and widespread problem.
I didn't know that "clean eating" was just another code word for dieting. "Dieting" is any way of eating you are emotionally attached to. For instance, do you feel anxious and off-kilter when you go out with friends and can't find something that's 100% "clean?" You're on a diet, baby!
I have been on both the giving and receiving end of bad nutritional advice from yoga teachers. I don't remember a specific incident of telling a student, "wanna lose weight? do this cleanse!", but I do remember recommending a particular book containing what I thought were healthy recipes – a book which also happened to contain extremely dangerous dietary advice along the lines of "eat just one meal a day for optimum health". Not a great blanket recommendation nor goal to aspire to.
I know that posting this is going to piss some people off. But if I can prevent just one more confused, health-conscious woman (and increasingly, man) from being more deeply sucked into diet culture, then it's worth it.
What the EFF is diet culture?
Diet culture encompasses all the messages that tell us that we're not good enough in the bodies we have, and we'd be more worthwhile and valuable if our bodies were different. Our culture is SO embedded with body- and weight-centric messages that they're sometimes imperceptible. Diet culture is deeply ingrained in our everyday existence and prevents us from living our most full and meaningful lives.
There's health-conscious, and then there's health-obsessed. And increasingly I'm seeing more and more yogis, especially younger women, crossing over into health-obsessed territory. I know what it looks like because I've been there. I think that as yoga teachers we need to be vigilant of this, and to be very careful about the health advice we give outside of our specialty of yoga practice.
A STORY OF two WOMEN
Scene 1
Picture this. I'm wrapping up a nutrition consultation with a client, let's call her Mrs X. As her dietitian, we've discussed lots of stuff about food, body cues of hunger and fullness, Mrs X's health issues relevant to her eating – y'know, that sort of thing.
What we haven't discussed is the stress fracture in the C3 vertebra in her neck, and the inflamed tendons in her wrists, because she has other health practitioners who deal with that, and we only have 30 minutes together.
On her way out, Mrs X casually adds that she's thinking of trying yoga to help manage her stress levels and give her energy. "Oh, yes!" I exclaim, "yoga totally saved me! I find doing headstands just zens me out so much! And handstands give me tonnes of energy. You should try that!"
Obviously, this would be a major dietitian FAIL because I'm not a yoga teacher (well actually I am, but for the purpose of the point I'm trying to make – and to represent the majority of nutritionists – let's pretend I'm not, okay?).
I don't know enough about Mrs X's health to know that what works for me, will also work for her.
I might know about her digestive and eating issues, but I know next to nothing about her history of injuries to safely recommend specific yoga postures for her to try. In this case, telling Mrs X to do advanced poses like handstands and headstands would be the equivalent of telling someone with coeliac disease to go eat a few loaves of bread: it could really fuck her up.
Luckily, I don't know any nutritionists who would actually do this. And if they do suggest yoga it's as a general tool to try for stress management, on the premise that you go ask a yoga teacher for further modifications if you have injuries.
Scene 2
Okay, now picture this. Miss Y is at her local yoga studio, just finishing up a yoga class. She's feeling zenned out and all open-hearted after her savasana. She thanks her yoga teacher on the way out, and they chat animatedly as they both bask in that delicious post-yoga glow.
What they don't discuss is Miss Y's declining relationship with food, which is now bordering on an eating disorder, or her roller coaster blood sugar levels, or the fact she hasn't had a menstrual period in months because she's under eating in an attempt to lose weight.
"I loved your class! I love you!" Miss Y is literally high on yogi feel-good vibes (a real thing) and anything her teacher says at this point will be taken as gospel. Yoga teacher smiles serenely. Miss Y casually adds that she loved the class, and if only her energy levels were a *bit* higher, she could have tried the headstand.
"Oh," says yoga teacher, "you should try a juice fast. I did a 5-day fast and I feel ah-mazing! I have so much energy, I do them regularly. I've even lost that little belly I'd been carrying for ages around that I could never lose. You should try it!"
Obviously, this would be a major yoga teacher FAIL.
And it happens. All. The. Time.
Yoga teachers, I get it. You open people up through the practice. You witness melt downs. You're privy to the psychological issues and deep seated secrets disclosed to you by students in their moments of post yoga glow-induced vulnerability.
Sometimes, the relief you bring by helping them to relax and breathe is so great, you assume the role of HEALTH GURU OF EVERYTHING in their eyes. You are a magical, perfect, sparkly unicorn of health and life wisdom who poos (non GMO) glitter. So it's not uncommon for people to ask you if they should leave that abusive man. Or try yoni steaming. Or go on a detox. Or try a ketogenic supplement.
But unless you are willing to be liable for any decision your student makes based on your advice, you shouldn't tell them what to do. Instead, suggest they seek help from a counsellor, psychologist, or nutritionist, or whatever.
Most yoga teachers I know would do just that. But not all. Every situation I describe at the end of this blog is based on what a yoga teacher has actually done or said in a class I or close friends have personally attended.
Is it ethical?
On first glance, the yamas and niyamas can be glossed over as "basics". "I tell the truth, and I'm not violent," we justify to ourselves.
But on reflection these principles can be applied at a deeper and perhaps more powerful level as we grow in self-awareness. Violence, stealing, and dishonesty have subtler manifestations. Practicing the yama of non-violence (ahimsa), for example, could be interpreted as being awake to the more subtle ways we harm ourselves and others through colluding with diet culture and body hatred, which thrive off the assumption that we aren't enough as we are right now.
And essentially, the reason why people do packaged juice cleanses, or any weight loss diet, or crazy 12 week intensive exercise challenges, is that at their core they believe they aren't good enough as they are right now. They aren't thin, clean, fit or enlightened enough, and they will pay big money for the privilege of thinking they are, finally, ENOUGH – even for a fleeting moment.
Violence isn't just killing a person or an animal; it may also arise in the harsh ways we treat ourselves and others, such as pushing into a potentially injurious pose to keep up or compete with other students. Or convincing someone that their cruelty to animals knows no bounds unless they go vegan (in the name of ahimsa, paradoxically) or to start a juice fast to help them "release old waste" (read: lose weight).
Please, Just don't go there
So fellow yoga teachers, I implore you: please stop giving potentially harmful dietary advice to your students. You are seen as a magical rainbow person who rides unicorns, and your advice will likely be taken seriously. (The following are actual yoga-teacher-giving-terrible-nutrition-advice situations that I or people close to me have been in.)
PLEASE do not tell them they need to detoxify and alkalinise, when they reveal to you in a moment of post-yoga vulnerability that they're "desperate to lose weight". Weight loss and fad diets (including cleanses and other common detox protocols) do not take people's individual requirements into consideration and can result in a person feeling hungry, experiencing low moods, lacking in energy levels and generally developing really poor health.
With research showing that 95% of all dieters will regain their lost weight in 1-5 years (2,3), it's impossible to advise someone to attempt any weight loss protocol on the premise that it will help them lose weight, and still stick to the yamas of ahimsa (non-harming), satya (truthfulness), and brahmacharya (maintenance of vitality).
PLEASE do not encourage them to go on a juice fast when they ask you how to increase their energy levels. Weight loss, however temporary – and the adrenaline rush of the starved state mistakenly interpreted as "increased energy" – are common results when you restrict calories in the short term (why do you think packaged juice fasts are so popular?!). So if we're honest, a juice fast is a diet. And 35% of "normal dieters" progress to pathological dieting. Of those, 20-25% progress to partial or full-syndrome eating disorders (4).
PLEASE do not pressure them to go vegan or vegetarian in order to be healthier and prove that they give a shit about animals and the environment (I'm sure they already do). Please don't simplify the vegetarian issue down to ethics alone. Whilst this is important, the biological suitability of a vegetarian or vegan diet varies WILDLY from one person to another.
In my experience, going vego can be great for some people, at certain life stages, for a certain period of time or disease state. But it's not the healthiest option for absolutely everyone contrary to what you've read/heard/believe. I feel this to be true from personal experience living as a vegetarian and vegan for a decade… but more importantly from clinical experience working with people suffering enormously from being on an innately restrictive diet for far too long. The diet that heals isn't always the diet that sustains.
Also, if you're speaking to a typical yogi you're speaking to someone who may be quite health-obsessed or orthorexic i.e. they have a decent chance of already having a disordered relationship with food, for whom vegetarianism will be just another reason to restrict even more foods from their dwindling list of "allowed" food items. The number of times I've seen this in the yoga community is staggering.
PLEASE refrain from suggesting intermittent fasting or skipping meals to improve their digestion and "release excess weight". When you tell a room full of female students to cut out at least one meal per day, you are speaking to a room of predominantly 18-42 year old women, of whom statistically 1 in 100 will have full blown anorexia nervosa, and a significant chunk will already have a disordered relationship with food.
You are speaking with a population (students and women) for which the incidence of bulimia is estimated to be 1 in 5 (5).
You are speaking to a group of women of whom, even if they are within a normal healthy weight range, only 22% are happy with their weight. Almost three quarters of these women desire to weigh less, including 68% of healthy weight and 25% of underweight women (6).
PLEASE don't write a book about detoxification, clean eating or juice cleansing and then "mention" it's now available for purchase at the end of class – you are not a nutrition expert. And even if you are, see above statistics regarding your target audience.
PLEASE don't push products onto your students in the name of health: be it your powdered vegetable juice line / "life-changing" multi-level marketed products / "food grade" essential oils / ketogenesis-inducing supplements. Even if you're totally convinced they're awesome, it's just plain unprofessional. They're here to do yoga, not become part of your downline. IF a student actively asks you about your products, and you (somehow) know for a fact that said products will not be used to perpetuate body hate, non-acceptance of and disconnection from self, then by all means pitch away.
Please, just don't go there. Because people are not just bodies, projects to be improved and slimmed down and detoxed. We are whole human beings, as our beloved yoga philosophy tries to teach us time and time again.
So. Yoga teachers: please stop giving potentially harmful dietary advice to your students.
And yoga students, please don't ask your yoga teacher what and how and when you should be eating. They don't know, because that information can only be discovered by you. Your relationship with food and your body is your business. If there's an issue with it, you should probably bring it to someone who can take your individualised requirements into consideration.
Yoga is as much about getting in touch with our bodies and its innate wisdom, as it is going beyond the body. Yoga teachers, if you want to do a 3/5/7 day juice cleanse, go raw vegan, or live on broccoli and bone broth then knock yourself out! Just don't impose your nutritional philosophies onto impressionable students when you really should just be teaching yoga.
Your students look up to you, they are listening, they are absorbing not only your dietary advice, but your own unresolved neuroses and food hang ups, should you have any.
Sure, advise people to eat healthily and treat their bodies with respect. But IF and HOW they do that is their journey and it's not your place to intervene.
Yoga teachers, if you are called upon to give any nutritional advice, make it an extension of the original yoga philosophy of knowing and trusting oneself, not an extension of your latest detox. Direct them to some non-diet approaches such as Health At Every Size® or Intuitive Eating, the Body Positive movement, or any number of arising approaches and practitioners that take a whole person's health into account, not just how good they look in a pair of Lululemon tights or how clean their gut is.

SYDNEY, 3 JULY 2014<\/strong> – Industrial leasing activity in South Sydney is the highest it's been in 12 months, according to JLL agents.<\/div>

<\/div>
JLL's Head of South Sydney, Blair Peterken, said industrial leasing activity has increased largely as a result of the number of residential development site sales from the past 18 to 24 months now settling. It is also due to the increased confidence of businesses in the market, according to Mr Peterken.<\/div>

<\/div>
"The popularity of Sydney's residential development areas in suburbs including Alexandria, Rosebery and Waterloo is fuelling the movement of industrial tenants, who are increasingly either relocating west or to outer suburbs of South Sydney such as Botany and Marrickville. These areas are cost-effective for rent and efficient for transport, being closer to Port Botany.<\/div>

<\/div>
"The activity is also being driven by the increased confidence in the market, with a number of industries performing well in the area including online-based companies and third-party logistic providers who service these online businesses."<\/div>

<\/div>
Mr Peterken said there are a number of industrial leasing deals that have already transacted in South Sydney recently, and seven or eight more in the pipeline. <\/div>

<\/div>
"A large occupier has leased 306 Coward Street, Mascot which is 9,900 square metres of industrial space. Big Picture has committed to a lease for a 3,771 square metre site at 40 Lord Street, Botany, moving from a development site JLL is currently selling on behalf of Woollahra Council.<\/div>

<\/div>
"Three tenants have signed Heads of Agreements at 1 Hale Street, Botany totalling 12,000 square metres and approximately another seven larger properties have agreed terms in the South Sydney area. Visa Logistics has recently leased 4,000 square metres at Hale Street in Botany, and JLL also recently managed a 3,500 square metre leasing deal with Goodman at Alexandria Industrial Estate on Bourke Road, Alexandria.<\/div>

<\/div>
"We are anticipating the other seven or eight remaining industrial leasing deals that are in negotiation to transact in the coming weeks," Mr Peterken concluded. <\/div>

Cervical Dystonia Pain Relief:
I wrote about 9 Ways to Ease Your Cervical Pain a few months ago. I thought that I should give out some more tips!
*I am not a doctor. These tips are drawn fom my personal experience, which has been a lot of trial and error*
Neck Support: I saw another instagrammer with this AMAZING bed wedge. I have a recliner, but it does get old sitting in the same place every day. Additionally, buying this Spine Reliever Bed Wedge is much less expensive than buying an entire recliner, if you aren't ready to make that investment. Some of the Amazon reviews complain that the bed wedge is too soft, but I think it is perfect if you have dystonia. It gives you enough support to sit up comfortably, but is not like a board. If you want a little more support for your head, so you can use a laptop or read a book, simply add another slim pillow behind your head.
Stay Active: Sitting for prolonged periods can be really bad for you! It's so tempting to sit in the recliner all day, but moving around just a little bit each day will keep you moving for the rest of your life. Losing a little excess weight, strengthening your bones (preventing osteoporosis) and enjoying the fact that you can still move around can boost your mood.
Take Care of Yourself: Self-care is super important. You need to be kind to yourself and show yourself some grace. I struggle with this, myself. Here is a great blog series that you can read about self-care. Maybe even do some research on your own. When you lose your health, you have to grieve. I recently learned about that concept. It has been interesting to think about. Here are a few workbooks and books that I've purchased (I haven't been able to process through all of them yet):
The Grief Recovery Handbook
Managing Chronic Pain: A Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Approach Workbook
Managing Pain Before It Manages You
Cognitive Therapy for Chronic Pain: A Step-by-Step Guide
The Pain Survival Guide: How to Reclaim Your Life
If you are able to leave the house and fit it into your schedule, don't be afraid of professional help.
I won't write anymore about it because I'm not an expert, but plenty of experts have written about Chronic Illness and self care on the internet and in books!
Icing & Heat: I mentioned this before, but I have a few new suggestions! I discovered (thanks to the wonderful Facebook Cervical Dystonia Support Group) this ice pack that I use to cover my entire cervical region! It's called the Elasto-gel Cervical Collar, which is wonderful. I wish that it would stay colder, longer, but the Velcro on it is almost life changing. I used to have to ask someone to help me place ice packs in the right spot and the quickly lean back and use pillows to keep the ice pack in place. Having Velcro gives me freedom and independence. I've also noticed that moist heat helps my pain more than dry heat. Moist heat comes from microwaving heat packs. An excellent example is Neck and Shoulder Wrap.
Medication: It is important to work closely with a pain specialist to explore all of your pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical options. If you are already getting Botox from a movement disorders specialist neurologist who uses an EMG, a pain specialist can prescribe medications and give you new ideas! They can also administer trigger point shots, which help me so much! My pain doctor is also full of non-phamercutical ideas to approach pain, too.
from my personal experience, I would caution against is over-using any one medication. Building a tolerance is always a hazard, so I like to use them only when I've exhausted all other options, so that I don't have to go up on my dose. The biggest reason I am cautious is because doctors don't like to give out higher doses, and then I don't have to beg for a higher dose, in addition to concerns about building a dependence . But, sometimes pain is very acute and needs to be addressed quickly! You deserve a good quality of life. Combining multiple approaches to pain works the best for me
Along with the medications and working with the pain specialist, remember that you must be your own advocate. Come to the appointment with a list of current medications, which ones are working and which ones aren't, new symptoms, questions for your doctor, or things that you would like addressed before you leave the appointment. When you're in pain, it's so easy to be shuffled into the appointment, mumble some answers, and then accept whatever the doctor tells you – only to get home and realize that you never got to say what you wanted to say. So, when you are feeling well and clear-minded, write down the things that you want addressed during the appointment, not just what is easiest for the doctor. You deserve the best treatment, but you might have to fight for it.

What do you do for pain relief? I would love to hear your experiences because I like to try new things!

One of the prisoners has been already transported to the detention center No. 3. The second one is still being convoyed, TASS reports their lawyer Svetlana Sidorkina as saying.
"Sentsov and Kolchenko have been convoyed to Chelyabinsk. According to my information, one of them is now in the detention center No. 3, and the second one is still being convoyed," Sidorkina said.
However, the press service of the Federal Penitentiary Service in Chelyabinsk region has not yet officially confirmed it.
"Under current legislation, we do not have the right to disclose information about the convicts being convoyed," the agency press service told TASS.
Ukrainian film director Oleh Sentsov and civic activist Oleksandr Kolchenko were convicted with regard to a trumped up case over the alleged impending terrorist attack in Crimea, and the Russian court sentenced them to 20 and 10 years in prison respectively.

Unique Wicker Bedroom Furniture
People will always thing that there is nothing better than teak for natural wood as main material for furniture. However, there is nothing wrong if we can see the other natural material which is also durable, strong, and give ambience of nature. The implication of having wicker bedroom furniture now have been decrease fast, since there is only less material left in the world. For you information, Indonesia has been long known regarded as one of the best producers for rattan furniture.
The decreasing number or rattan production is caused by the less field to grow bamboo as the main material. Development is everywhere; the impact is less export for rattan furniture. Rattan bedroom furniture, for instance, one of the best products made of rattan and regarded as one of the best material for furniture. Texture, natural color, and good quality for furniture durability are the main cause people keep choosing this material.
Less awareness of impact of development makes the production for rattan furniture now rarely been found. Wicker bedroom furniture actually can be developed as potential business, since the design of this material still reach top five material chosen for furniture. Texture of this natural material will enhance the unique value of the furniture.

Cross species amplification of microsatellite loci: a valuable tool for genetic studies in plants
Document Type
Publication details
Rossetto, M, Shepherd, M, Cordeiro, GM, Harriss, FCL, Lee, LS & Henry, RJ 1999, 'Cross species amplification of microsatellite loci: a valuable tool for genetic studies in plants', paper presented to the Plant and Animal Genome VII Conference, San Diego, California, USA, 17-21 January.
In recent times microsatellite analysis has become a favourite tool for a multitude of genetic related projects. However, one of the major drawbacks of this technology is that characterisation of useful loci relies on DNA sequence knowledge. As a result, the amount of resources required does not justify the development of these markers for all species. A potential alternative to taxon specific characterisation, is cross species amplification of microsatellite loci. Initially thought to be less successful in plants than in animals, recent research is increasingly showing otherwise. In this study, we have investigated the transferrability of microsatellite loci in angiosperms, both dicots (Myrtaceae) and monocots (Poaceae), and gymnosperms (Pinus). Thirty five primer pairs developed for tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia - Myrtaceae), were tested on seven other Myrtaceae including other economically important species such as eucalypts. Success was over 80% within members of the same genus and over 20% for more distant species. Similar studies have been carried out with microsatellites developed for Saccharum spp. and Pinus spp. showing reasonable amounts of cross-transferability. The results suggest that cross-transferability of microsatellites can be a viable alternative to specific characterisation, especially for studies requiring a limited number of hypervariable loci such as population genetics studies.

The City Hall, Dublin (Irish: Halla na Cathrach, Baile Átha Cliath), originally the Royal Exchange, is a civic building in Dublin, Ireland. It was built between 1769 and 1779 to the designs of architect Thomas Cooley and is a notable example of 18th-century architecture in the city.
Located at the top of Parliament Street on the city's southern side, it stands next to Dublin Castle, the centre of the British government in Ireland until 1922. The street had been built in 1753, providing a continuation of Capel Street on the north bank of the Liffey, across the newly widened Essex Bridge, and so the exchange ended (and still ends) a long streetscape.
The external structure is primarily made out of white Portland stone from a quarry in Dorset.[1] The large size and fine fittings of the Royal exchange, with carved capitals by Simon Vierpyl, and plasterwork by the leading stuccodore Charles Thorpe, reflect the standing and prestige of Dublin in the 18th Century. The neo-classical building contains a central entrance hall or Rotunda, with a large dome supported by twelve columns which are surrounded by an ambulatory where the merchants strolled and discussed business meetings.
The function of the building was to provide a meeting place for Dublin's businessmen, where they could buy and sell goods and trade bills of exchange. It was also close to the then Customs House that stood on the site of today's Clarence Hotel, making it convenient for overseas merchants. The cost of building the exchange was met by the Parliament of Ireland, and this is reflected by the initials "SPQH", standing for "Senatus PopulusQue Hibernicus", meaning "The senate and people of Ireland" (an Irish version of SPQR).
The city government had originally been located in the mediæval Tholsel at the corner of Nicholas Street and Christchurch Place, some 300 metres to the west (where the 'Peace Park' is today), and before that on the Thingmount, where Suffolk Street now runs. In the 18th century, meetings were held in South William Street (formerly the Civic Museum).
In 1815 the metal balustrade of the exchange fell, owing to the pressure against it by a crowd, which led to the death of nine people, with much more injured. This led to crowd restrictions in the building.[2]
In the 1850s, the City Corporation bought the Royal Exchange and converted it for use by the city government. The changes included partitions around the ambulatory, the construction of a new staircase from the Rotunda to the upper floors and the sub-division of the vaults for storage. On 30 September 1852, the Royal Exchange was renamed City Hall at the first meeting of Dublin City Council held there. (The ward name "Royal Exchange" was retained, corresponding to the current electoral divisions of Royal Exchange A and B.)[3][4] A series of frescos were later added, representing the regions of Ireland.
During the 1916 Easter Rising, the City Hall was used as a garrison for the Irish Citizen Army. Sean Connolly seized the building using a key which he obtained as he worked in the motor department and had access to the building. There were 35 people based here, mostly women. It was in this area where the first casualty of the rising, a guard named James O'Brien, occurred at Dublin Castle and he was shot by Sean Connolly while on duty. In total, the entire siege lasted about 12 hours.[5]
The building was restored to its 18th-century appearance at the beginning of the 21st century, and Dublin City Council has won awards for the conservation of this historic building.
Most Dublin City Council staff are located in the relatively new and controversial Civic Offices, built from 1979 on the site of a national monument, the Viking city foundations on Wood Quay.
Dublin Corporation itself was then renamed in the early 21st century as Dublin City Council, previously the name of the assembly of councillors only. Council meetings take place in City Hall.
There is an exhibition on the history of Dublin City, called "Dublin City Hall, The Story of the Capital," located in the vaults. There is currently little opportunity to see the City Council at work, though the council website has raised the questions of greater public access and of webcasting meetings.[citation needed]

Up for sale is a 43' Midnight Express with 5 custom painted 400hp Verado's mounted along an extra-wide 12.5' beam. It features a true twin stepped hull, which produces minimal bow rise while getting on plane. It is built with Midnight's exclusive infusion molded and cored structure across the entire boat, allowing for a lighter and faster boat while fortifying the boat to make it stronger and more fuel efficient.
