Although we are unable to make any claims, it is praised by thousands around the globe for its multitude of health benefits so we encourage you to do your own research.

For anyone looking to maintain and support optimum brain health. We've taken dried moringa leaves, then added Folate, vitamins B6, B12, E and K1, as well as iodine and lutein from kelp and marigold, and packed them all into a one-a-day capsule.
Turmeric and black pepper: a pairing just as unlikely as Kermit and Miss Piggy. And in both cases, a little clashing is healthy. Many people take black pepper with turmeric as its known to increase absorption. That's why we've combined this perfect pair into one tablet to make your life a little easier.
If swallowing tablets or chewing gummies aren't really your thing, we have a brand new peppermint flavoured spray infused with vitamin D3. In fact, sprays are the most efficient way for your body to absorb vitamins as it goes directly to the bloodstream through the lining of your mouth. Win, win.
For decades, omega 3 has taken the limelight for its joint, heart and bone health benefits so what could be better? An addition of new kid on the block, health all-rounder super spice turmeric of course. Together, they work to bring the best support to your body. It's true health gold.
Living in Britain, we know what it's like to have little exposure to sunlight! If you too are not getting enough sunlight, you might have a vitamin D deficiency. For some of us, taking tablets just isn't our thing, so we've jazzed up our D dose with these delicious little gummy berries that contain 25mcg of natural vitamin D3 to support strong bones and teeth as well as the immune system.
Here's the thing. We love cookies but, like quite a few things in life, they don't tend to be very good for you. That's why we've gone and made a healthier version. Our brand-new cookies have half the sugar of a standard cookie and are packed with vitamins and protein (14g per pack!). Unleashing our inner cookie monster has never felt so justified.
Dark chocolate is our guilty pleasure. Actually, remove the 'guilty' part because those little squares of indulgence are actually quite good for you. As well as being natually high in anti-oxidants, it also contains high levels of iron and magnesium. So how is ours better? We've only gone and added even more vitamins and minerals. You could say that it's super chocolate! It comes in 3 delicious flavours; orignal, red superfruits and bee pollen. It makes guilty(less) pleasure snacking even more, well... guilt-less.
There's been a latte fuss around our very first coffee. It's so smooth and creamy, plus it contains plenty of perks including 10g of protein, vitamin C, B and magnesium in one little sachet. There's no need to mess aground, just mix with water and it's ready in espresso time. Needless to say, it's bean a big hit in the office. Alright, enough of the puns for now, they're getting a bit weak.
We can't think of many other ways better to unwind from a session at the gym than with a nice rich cup of hot chocolate. That's why we've created one that not only tastes amazing but is infused with the good stuff to help with sleep and muscle recovery including 18g of protein, 5-HTP, vitamin B6, magnesium and zinc.
Smooth, rich hot chocolate that tastes like an absolute indulgence but is low in sugar and can actually help you sleep. Lots of us at Healthspan HQ are on a bit of a health kick and a cup of this before bed is our not-so-naughty but nice treat to end the day - we love it.
High in protein and fibre and low in sugar, with added vitamins. These soft, chewy, chocolatey bars seem like a complete indulgence but are only 190 calories and contain 20g of protein per bar - just as much as a protein shake! Bloomin' marvellous.
A nutritious, delicious bar with balanced levels of energy, protein, carbohydrates, fats and fibre with 11 vitamins and 6 minerals. They taste so good that we keep having to order more into the office - they get snapped up like hot cakes! Our favourite flavour? The almond and vanilla bar. Lush.
The arrival of the menopause can bring a wealth of unwanted symptoms, many of which are still not widely talked about such as vaginal dryness, which can be both uncomfortable and distressing. Developed with doctors, a new soothing, hydrating gel with aloe vera, black cohosh and sage will help relieve daily discomfort and irritation caused by vaginal dryness, as well as providing intimate lubrication. It is also safe to use during pregnancy and following birth as it helps to restore the pH-balance.
We all know the importance of sun cream when it comes to protecting our skin, but did you know there are certain nutrients that can help boost that protection from the inside too? Add this supplement to your routine all year round to protect against damaging and ageing UV rays, helping to maintain skin's youthful appearance.
It seems that whoever you are and whatever you do, time in the morning is always tight and as much as we'd love to, taking more than 5 minutes to get ready just isn't doable (mothers, we hear you!). That's why this tinted moisturiser is so great. Application takes 10 seconds and skin is left smooth and radiant with a natural glow.
Coconut oil? Check. Shea butter? Check. Makeup removal? Check. This creamy, luxurious cleanser contains all of nature's most nourishing ingredients to leave your skin refreshed, clean and super soft. Follow with the toner to keep enlarged pores at bay for an even smoother complexion.

Our beef flavoured supplements with chondroitin and added vitamins work to keep you dog mobile and happy whatever their age.
All the goodness of sour cherries in a simple juice concentrate. Sour cherries from the Prunus cerasus L plant have been used for centuries in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicines for a variety of ailments. More recent scientific research has revealed that sour cherries contain compounds that can aid sleep and muscle recovery. Simply stir one or two tablespoons into a glass of water and enjoy.
The UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey (2018) showed that only 26% of adults manage to achieve the recommended 5 fruits & vegetables daily. A diet that doesn't contain the recommended amount of fruits & vegetables will lead to nutrient deficiencies in a host of different vitamins and minerals that support important bodily functions. Whilst there is no substitute for fresh fruit & vegetables, a greens powder is a great addition to your diet to give you a helping hand. Performance Greens provides a nutrient-rich blend of 14 fruit, vegetable and herb extract and contains a delicious natural lime flavour.
Unlike our other omega 3 supplements, this advanced formulation contains 1g of pure EPA and 100mg of DHA per capsule. The oil is sustainably sourced from warm water fish species, which contain a naturally high concentration of EPA. Although there are no approved European health claims, some research has shown improvements in mood in relation to high EPA supplementation, whilst many sports nutritionists use high EPA supplements to prevent inflammation of the joints after exercise.
CLA is a naturally occurring fatty acid found in our diet. It is produced by cattle and is therefore present in milk, beef and other dairy products, although in relatively small amounts. Although there is inconclusive evidence to support the effects of CLA, it is a popular product amongst those looking to control their weight. We exclusively use Clarinol® CLA because it is manufactured using proven technologies and a strict set of quality and safety standards. This delivers a product with a consistent fatty acid profile and the highest quality CLA available.
Did you know that your body is most vulnerable to viruses during and after exercise? Give your immune system the support that it needs to fend off cold and flu viruses with our refreshing peppermint lozenges.
As an athlete, you need to stay fit, healthy and flexible. Fast acting Opti-Turmeric contains 500mg of liquid curcumin and 20mg of vitamin C, to help support your immune and bone health as well as the normal function and formation of cartilage, which is essential for healthy joints. Batch-tested and safe for professional athletes.
Coffee is often the drink of choice for athletes who are looking for a morning pick-me-up. A delicious hot drink, Kick-Start Protein Coffee provides 11g protein per serving alongside energising B vitamins, vitamin C and magnesium. Not simply a coffee flavoured protein powder, Kick-Start Coffee is made with real coffee granules so mixes instantly with hot water and provides a natural source of caffeine (45mg-72mg per sachet).
Sleep is fundamental for sports performance, so it therefore stands to reason that getting a better night's sleep will improve performance. 40 Winks Protein is the ultimate overnight recovery hot chocolate, containing an 18g 'slow-release' casein protein blend. We have also included 250mg L-Theanine and 100mg 5-HTP, which is converted into the brain chemical messenger serotonin, a natural neurotransmitter that influences sleep. Added vitamins and minerals are also included to aid protein synthesis.
Vitamin D is one of the most important nutrients for our health, providing support to bones, teeth, muscles and our immune system. It's mainly absorbed through exposure to sunlight, however where exposure is limited deficiency is common, particularly for athletes who train indoors. This is where supplements can help. Vitamin D in spray form is absorbed quickly as it enters the bloodstream directly through the lining of the mouth. Each dose contains 4,000iu, the optimum amount to overcome deficiency.
Whey protein is often considered 'king', but for those people who are unable to consume dairy for one reason or another the alternatives are limited, especially ones that are Informed-Sport accredited. We're very excited to announce the launch of Complete Vegan Protein, delivering 20g protein per serving to support muscle growth and maintenance. Made up of a blend of pumpkin, pea and brown rice, Complete Vegan Protein provides a complete amino acid profile and does not include any GMO (genetically modified) ingredients.
Whey protein is a natural protein found in milk and is one of the most popular proteins due to its speed of absorption and a full complement of all 20 amino acids. It's also rich in leucine, which plays an important role in muscle protein synthesis. Our Essential Whey Protein Concentrate contains a quality assured protein developed using a special microfiltration process and provides 20g protein, 4.7g BCAAs and over 2g leucine per serving.
Whey protein is the most popular protein due to its speed of absorption and a full amino acid profile. However, there are different types of whey protein of which whey isolate is considered 'king' because of its purity. It is processed further than whey concentrate which results in lower fat and lactose content. Our Whey Protein Isolate is Informed-Sport accredited and provides 32g protein per serving.
Our Elite HiLo Protein Bar is not too dissimilar to The HiLo Bar. Each bar contains 20g protein and only 1-2g of sugar, making this truly worth of its name. An added 10g of fibre and our expert formulated MultiVital blend, containing 8 vitamins and minerals for energy and to aid protein synthesis sets this bar above the rest. The main difference is that this product carries Informed-Sport accreditation, essential for Elite athletes, and is available in a box of 24.

We got the base of the table assembled and glued up. We are now waiting on the table top to dry. We decided to secure the table top to the base with L brackets that we could hide between the corner brace and the legs. That way the table maintains it's rustic reclaimed barnwood look.
We can't wait to get this table finished and take some pics of the final product. Tim is super excited and we look forward to revealing it to him soon. This is going to be one very nice table.
here we are contemplating the best pattern before glue up.

In the 1960s and 1970s American private foundations and government agencies spent over $40 million to support contemporary Chinese studies and train Americans to become experts on Communist China. How well did these programs, support facilities, and experts contribute to a better understanding of the complex events an changes that took place in the world's most populous country? Kuo and Myers survey and appraise that research by comparing it with the research facilities and experts in the Republic of China (Taiwan) where efforts were underway to understand the dynamics of change that occurred between 1949 and 1978, probably the most turbulent period in China's modern history. By referring to a small sample of learned journals and monographs, they develop a methodology for evaluating area research on Communist China. Their overall findings enable Kuo and Myers to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of American and Chinese research and proposed how the internationalization of research on communist countries like China could be greatly improved in the future.
Ramon H. Myers, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, is curator of the East Asian archives. He received his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Washington.

"Rio has been with us a week now and has settled in nicely. He still remains 100% clean in the house and non-destructive, which is remarkable considering the upheaval he has had over the past few weeks with multiple moves. He feels a lot more comfortable now and will roam the house freely, whereas before he was always keen to keep us in his sights; probably through fear of being left. Rio is incredibly chilled out for a Staffie and is very settled throughout the night. He's very good at letting us know when he wants to go and do his business too. One of his little quirks is his love of being nosey and his inquisitiveness. He will sit for ages and look out of the patio doors into the garden, watching the trees swaying in the wind and absorbing every sound. My neighbours both have yappy dogs that will bark at the fence but Rio doesn't bat an eye lid. Instead he will continue his thorough investigation of every leaf and blade of grass! Another one of Rio's quirks is his apparent dislike of dog biscuits…yet he will wait until I have swept the floor and retrieve a discarded one from the pile of dust! He is responding well to commands and has learned 'wait' when I give him his dinner. I have begun to teach him some sign language and he will now respond to 'sit' and 'down' with a hand command and we are now working on 'wait'. It's always useful for when dogs get older if their hearing starts to diminish. There has been a huge improvement when walking him, although he does sometimes get excited when you pick his lead and harness up. This is just his eagerness to go outdoors and instantly settles once we leave. He doesn't pull a great deal and my children can easily manage him on the lead. Rio's inquisitive nature means he likes to stop and have a sniff every now and again, but with a quick 'walk on', he toddles on his way. He is still very vocal when he sees other dogs but his body language doesn't seem to indicate aggression. I am obviously reluctant to investigate this as yet as he needs more outdoor exposure on a lead as I don't feel that this is something he has been used to. I am conscious of the fact that he has been in a pound and a kennel, both of which are noisy environments, so his vocal reaction could also be fear related. It didn't take him long to learn where he lives and he leads us straight to our house! Once his walk is over, he has a drink, followed by a snooze. I really don't have a bad word to say about this beautiful boy. I expected a lot of teething problems, but we haven't had any and he is the perfect house guest. He greets all of our visitors with a wagging tail and big smile and loves to play with my three year old nephew. He will drop his ball at his feet and wait for it to be thrown without trying to snatch it. He takes treats so gently too. Even his 'botty burps' are few and far between, which can never be sniffed at (pardon the pun). What ever happened in his past, I am confident that he was loved and this shows in his nature. I don't class him as an 'old' dog; he is as spritely as pup and certainly displays no health conditions, age related or otherwise".
Since then, he has come on in leaps and bounds with his training. He only needs to be told 'wait' once when I put his food down and will give me his paw before tucking in. He now takes treats so gently, it's adorable. If he is in the garden, I will whistle once and he knows that's his cue to come in. He still lets us know when he needs a wee, but I often check by just saying 'do you want to go out?' and if he does, he will run to the back door. He is fantastic at night time and settles down as soon as we do. He loves nothing more than to sprawl out in bed with my son, Joseph, and he even has his own pillow, although he still pinches Joe's!
He is improving when he goes for a walk but he still continues to bark at other dogs when he sees them. We tackle this by going in a different direction and he quietens down when they are out of sight. He is much better to handle on a lead once the initial excitement of leaving the house wears off. It doesn't take him long to settle and will happily walk without pulling. He loves going for a run and he can certainly shift for an 8 year old! He even has a posh new flashing collar that he wears at night time so he can be easily seen J One of his favourite things to do when he is out is to rub himself on every bush we pass!
I took him out for the first time in the car the other day when he went to meet the vet. He was as good as gold! He sat in the front foot well all the way there and back. This really surprised me because he is nosey by nature so I expected him to dive all over to try and peek out of the window. He tried to jump on to Joe's lap, but he only needed to be told to 'sit' once and he did! I was so proud of him. Even in the vets, he was no bother at all. Again, this was unexpected because I thought all the new smells, sights and people would over-stimulate him, but nope, he was a superstar! The vet fell in love with him too, but Rio does have that effect on everyone he meets.
I'm really lucky that I have a wonderful, supportive family and my role as a fosterer isn't limited to my immediate household. My brother in law comes over two or three nights a week to take Rio for a walk. My sister and three year old nephew also adore Rio and love to play ball with him. Rio loves tennis balls and he loves to chase them even more, even if he is like Bambi on ice on the wood flooring! My dad loves to make a fuss of him too but I had to chuckle when my mum introduced herself, saying 'hello Rio, I'm your new Grandma' J Having three teenagers, my house can be like Piccadilly station at times but this doesn't phase Rio at all. He always greets people like he's known them for years and takes advantage of the extra stokes and cuddles.
I knew when I took Rio in that he wouldn't be as fortunate as the other dogs that are re-homed quickly. It broke my heart to think of him struggling in kennels at his age and I often wonder why he found himself out on the streets, all alone. All I can say is that his previous owner's loss is most certainly our gain, albeit temporary. I love the bones of him. It's such a shame that older dogs often get looked over in rescues. Rio is living proof that age is just a number and he would give any younger dog a run for their money! He is the perfect house guest, he needed minimal training and he has bags of love to give. We couldn't have asked for a better first foster dog. Filling in that application form was the best decision I could have made. My floors are covered in muddy paw prints again, the nose art is back on my patio doors and going to the toilet is no longer lonely. I wouldn't have it any other way <3

Guess what Governor Blanco? Last night was the State of the Union Address, it wasn't about New Orleans, it was about America as a whole. He didn't mention Ridgecrest in his address either. Should I be angry and put out over that?
Besides her anger at her cesspool not being mentioned the Governor is upset that the entire state of Mississippi has received more federal relief money than the City of New Orleans did.
Gov. Blanco accused the White House of repeatedly delivering less money than Louisiana has needed to repair the damage to housing, schools and hospitals. By comparison, she said, Mississippi has been handed much more help.
"I just want an end to the disparities, once and for all," the governor said.
I got news for you Governor, The brunt of Katrina did not hit New Orleans. The worst part of hurricane Katrina hit Mississippi. New Orleans received a firm, but glancing blow. The main difference between Mississippi and New Orleans in the post Katrina era is that the people and government of Mississippi have been busy working to rebuild their state from the moment the winds subsided. New Orleans and the government in Louisiana have done nothing to help themselves except whine about what the federal government is not doing to fix all their problems.
To borrow one of my dear wife's favorite phrases, Governor, it's time to put on your big girls panties and start fixing your own troubles. We had family who were in hurricane Katrina, they got themselves out, then went back and cleaned up their own property, fixed their own damage, and went back to their jobs. Right after Katrina hit my family made financial and property donations in an effort to help. But feelings have changed. I will start feeling sorry for the people in New Orleans again, when I start seeing news stories about the rest of the population standing up and doing something to help themselves. But as long as the only thing the Gov. Blanco can do is whine that George Bush is not talking about New Orleans, helping New Orleans, or doing her job for her, then she and her cesspool called New Orleans can all go to hell.

Wigan v Rotherham preview
Last Updated: 31/08/18 11:59am
Wigan will be without Gavin Massey for the visit of Rotherham.
Forward Massey has a hamstring injury which he picked up at QPR last week and will miss out against the Millers, who Wigan have already played in the Carabao Cup this season.
Dan Burn and Micahael Jacobs are still struggling with injury and will return after the international break. Darron Gibson (groin) remains out while Devante Cole joined Burton on loan on Thursday.
Latest Sky Bet odds
Check out all the latest Sky Bet Championship, League One and League Two odds here...
Rotherham have a doubt over left-back Joe Mattock. Mattock has a dead leg and was forced to pull out of the Millers' 3-1 Carabao Cup defeat to Everton in the warm-up, so Clark Robertson is on standby to deputise.
Boss Paul Warne could recall a number of players having made eight changes for the game at Goodison Park, with Billy Jones hoping for a start after a hip injury. Darren Potter (Achilles) is the only absentee and he will not feature until 2019.
Opta stats
Wigan and Rotherham faced each other in League One last season - they shared a goalless draw at the DW Stadium in April, but Wigan won 3-1 at the New York Stadium in November.
Rotherham's last away league win at the DW Stadium was in December 2014, a 2-1 victory in the Championship.
Rotherham have completed a lower share of their passes this season than any other Championship side (57.2%).
Wigan have lost just one of their last 16 home league games and none of the last nine (W5 D4).
Rotherham have won two of their last four Championship games (L2), as many as they'd won in their previous 24 at this level.
Wigan attacker Nick Powell has been directly involved in six goals in five Championship appearances this season (3 goals, 3 assists); the same total he'd registered in his last campaign at this level in 2016-17 (6 goals, 0 assists).
Prutton's prediction
David Prutton predicts: 1-1 (13/2 with Sky Bet)

Just from observation, I've been leaning toward Trump on the yeayo, as Scarface would say, and Clinton on some form of speed. Not trying to be silly, they both show ample signs of their respective chemical alterations.

This beautiful silk fabric was part of an unfinished furisode kimono. The furisode kimono is traditionally worn by young, unmarried women and is one of the most beautiful and decorated kimono. This silk was basted together into the kimono form but was not finished. Because of this the fabric is pristine EXCEPT for tiny pinholes and creases. There are also marks on the selvages. These marks were made by the seamstress and are only on the selvage and should not affect how the silk can be used. These marks do not extend more than .5 inches (1.3cm) from the selvage.
This silk would make an amazing scarf, wrap, hair accessory, pillow case or skirt. It can be used for apparel but please remember that kimono fabric is not as wide as other fabrics.
This fabric was a body panel of the kimono. It went up one side of the front of the kimono, over the shoulder and down the back. The entire panel is about 142 inches (361cm) long x about 14.75 inches (37.5 cm) wide. This panel has no cuts in it (as many panels from finished kimono often do).
Each end of the panel has a beautiful, dyed design featuring white, lavender, pink and yellow sakura (cherry) blossoms over a pale mauve and red background. The larger, white sakura have lavender, yellow and pink centers. Some of these blossoms are also accented with gold metallic paint.
Photos 2 and 3 show each end of the panel where the cherry blossoms were printed onto the silk. The middle of the panel is seen in photo 4 and it also has a small, printed design of 3 cherry blossoms. The remainder of the panel is a solid, deep red color.
Close-ups of the printed areas on each end of the panel can be seen in photos 5 and 6. The first printed portion measures about 24 inches long (61cm) x 13 inches (33cm) wide. Please note that the cherry blossom design only extends to one selvage edge. The second printed portion measures about 19 inches (48cm) long x 14.75 inches (37.5cm) wide.
The silk is a medium weight, crepe or chirimen type silk. It is NOT smooth but has a lovely "orange peel" texture and a subtle sheen. Please enlarge the photos to see the beautiful color and texture. The last two photos show the colors most accurately. Crayola brand crayons were place in the photos for color comparison.

Today was Papertrey Ink's first online only Stamp-A-Faire. You can follow all of the activity on Nicole Heady's blog.
Next was the Tie-Die challenge!
I used the shaving cream technique!
Here is my card:
This was the second card I made. I didn't like the first one, but I was super excited about how this one turned out! The solid papers are Papertrey Ink's True Black/Stamper Select White and SU!'s Brilliant Blue. I used Adirondack's Stream and Sailboat alcohol inks in the shaving cream. The tie-die paper base is actually water color paper. I was curious to see the difference. I will use watercolor paper for this technique in the future.
The butterfly is Recollections embellishment.
The Sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's We Go Together Stamp Set. The rhinestones are just random Michael's stones. I don't have the tag anymore, but I assume they're Recollections.
Thanks for looking!

Alabama Shakes at Olympia Theatre review: shaken not stirred rock n' roll n' soul
If you're looking for a thrilling rock n' roll front woman who oozes soul, then look no further than Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes.
Up until a few short years ago, Howard was working for the United States Postal Service in her home town of Athens, Alabama, while singing in a covers band playing in nursing homes. That all changed with the release of Boys & Girls in 2012, which saw Alabama Shakes tour the world and get nominated for a few Grammys.
Bizarrely, this is the first Dublin headliner they've done since an inauspicious debut in the tiny Academy 2, atlhough they did appear on a Marlay Park bill on a rather musically schizophrenic line up alongside Paulo Nutini over the summer. It is a considerable leap to playing a two-night stand in the Olympia, but for Howard and Alabama Shakes, the only way is up.
Brittany was recently honoured with Billboard's prestigious 'Powerhouse' award. Previous recipients include Lady Gaga. Slowly but surely, the world is completely falling for Brittany Howard. She certainly possesses a powerhouse set of pipes.
Within seconds of being on-stage, this is immediately apparent as she sings 'Future People'. Howard has one of the best voices in modern rock; a husky, singular and soulful quiver that has an astonishing range and packs a colossal punch. The set list is chiefly culled from this year's second album Sound & Color, which is that rare beast in contemporary music; a follow up to a wildly successful debut that betters its predecessor. The dreaded curse of the so-called 'sophomore slump' clearly has passed them by.
Alabama Shakes rustle up a wholesome and delicious stew of blues, country, gospel, soul and good old fashioned rock n' roll. Britney Spears may well be the better known singer and celebrity, but this Brittany's talents are far too powerful and breathtaking to stay ignored.
Alabama Shakes are an even better band live than they are on record. So far, it is looking like they're really in this for the long haul.

This third installment in Bray's speculative historical-fiction series continues to spin the stories of its large ensemble of supernaturally gifted characters in 1920s New York City.
The patients and staff at the fictional Manhattan State Hospital for the Insane (Bray discusses mental illness in an author's note) are terrorized by murderous ghosts as the novel opens, quickly setting the tone of atmospheric horror that has characterized this epic. This draws in the Diviners, who must confront a menacing otherworldly figure called the King of Crows. The tale is told in two parts, and details of imagined government conspiracies are laced with heartbreakingly realistic injustices such as racism, anti-Semitism, and maltreatment of the mentally ill. The diverse protagonists are intricately developed; poet Memphis and his young brother Isaiah are black; Ling is Chinese and Irish-American, uses leg braces and crutches, and is both demisexual and lesbian; Sam is Jewish; Theta and Evie are white, as is Henry, who is gay. While readers might be surprised that what seems like the lead-up to a showdown between dimensions doesn't materialize, there is no shortage of action to keep them going: ravenous ghosts, Shadow Men, secret bands of anarchists, and first sexual experiences, among them.
A solid middle entry that will satisfy readers hooked on this series—and leave them eager for the next. (Historical/paranormal thriller. 14-adult)

Life of a higher ed. administrator
Strategic plans, accreditation reports, reports to the Board, grant year-end reports, announcements to the campus community… sigh… there is too much report-writing in the life of a higher ed. administrator!!!
To make matters worse, you seldom get time to focus on writing. With constant interruptions and unexpected fires to put out, your work days go by so fast it can make your head spin.
As days and weeks pass, getting closer and closer to the deadline gives you anxiety. This pesky report pops up in your thoughts constantly like annoying mosquitoes in humid lands. Even though you know this report serves an important purpose, you start to resent it. It has become a heavy burden. You wish you could make it go away.
You might even beat yourself up for not having written it by now. Or perhaps your frustration turns to blame and you start resenting people who directly or indirectly contributed to you getting behind schedule.
No matter what story plays in your head, one thing is sure: it doesn't feel good! There is a certain heaviness that comes with thinking about what you have to do while not finding time to do it.
At that point, you feel so much resistance that even when you do have a block of time to write, you choose to answer e-mails instead. You rationalize that e-mails are time sensitive and are a valid excuse to postpone writing once again. So… you decide you'll do better tomorrow. The next day, nothing changes.
Then comes Friday afternoon. You still haven't begun. You feel emotionally exhausted because this report has been on your mind all week. You feel you don't have the energy and creativity to do quality work, so you decide to take your files home and write the report over the weekend.
The weekend feels like an abundant amount of time, uninterrupted, to get this done. You feel some relief while also regretting imposing this punishment onto yourself.
Saturday morning comes. You think you'll do a better job if you exercise first, so you get moving (far away from your computer!). Hours go by and you keep finding reasons to delay your start time. After all, you have two full days ahead of you and the report should only take two to three hours.
Your entire weekend is ruined because you carry with you the weight of guilt and procrastination. You could have dedicated two hours last Monday and enjoyed your week, but instead, you put yourself through emotional torture an entire week, draining your life force, and you still don't have one word written!!!
Can you relate? Have you ever put yourself through something like this? If yes, keep reading! I am going to share with you five strategies to make sure this never happens again.
1. Block off "non-negotiable" time.
When you first become aware of the project and deadline, choose a block of time to work on it, several weeks before it is due, but not right now. Allow yourself to focus on what is already on your plate and feel at peace knowing that you'll have adequate time to do this project in, let's say, two weeks for example. You are on top of things. You are in control.
2. Do not think about the report when you don't have time to work on it.
To avoid making the task emotionally charged, it is of the utmost importance that you give it no thoughts while you are busy doing something else. I mean it! Don't start writing it in your head while you are sitting in a boring meeting or having dinner with distant relatives. Your thoughts about the task can make or break your motivation so compartmentalize!
3. Do not change your plan.
Remember that when you decided what block of time to allocate to the report, you made a well-informed strategic decision. Do not second-guess yourself now. Stick to your plan! In fact, consider yourself forbidden to start early. That way, you won't be debating with yourself whether you should work on it when you aren't scheduled to do so. You won't feel any heaviness, or guilt, or doubt, or pressure of any kind.
4. Set yourself up for success
Set boundaries to make sure nobody will get in the way of you fulfilling the promise you made to yourself. Think for a second, what would you do if you had to pick up from the airport the person you love the most in the entire world, after a long absence? You would ask people to get organized and not expect you to be available for a couple of hours. You would never consider making your loved one wait at the terminal for hours because you're answering e-mails or because someone stopped by your office to chat, right? Well, you have to handle the promise you made to yourself the same way you would handle a promise made to someone else. Short of a true emergency, don't let people get in the way.
5. Do not rationalize
When the time comes to write, do not rationalize why it is ok to postpone. Do not make any excuses. In fact, you should not have any thoughts about whether or not you are going to write this report today. You're doing it. Period. Put your phone on airplane mode, log off your email, and close your door. Do it now and you'll feel on top of the world in a couple of hours. Do it. Now!
If you think self-discipline is painful, just look at the pain that procrastination, guilt, and self-judgment bring! Trust me, if you implement all five strategies, you will feel light, empowered, and in control.
Obviously, some situations may cause you to re-prioritize. If your college President wants you to come to a meeting, it wouldn't be wise to say no. There are genuine cases when you need to re-prioritize, but please, let's be honest in assessing what genuinely constitutes an emergency.
"Not feeling it" is not an emergency.
Getting lost in e-mails or losing track of time on social media is not an excuse.
Letting someone overstay their welcome in your office is not acceptable. Take back control.
If you look at your own patterns, you will see how you tend to procrastinate on tasks that seem non-urgent, or intimidating, or tedious, or those that require too much effort. What I am asking you is to face reality and choose to take responsibility for your choices.
You will feel liberated!
If you are ready to improve your organization, follow-through, and time management, don't hesitate to click here to book a time to speak with me. There is nothing more liberating than to feel in control and at peace with your work flow and work load. Let me show you how. Let's talk soon!

|Christmas ayem
|And today is Ruca's birthday
I find it strangely comforting when I see that day after day, even you - the most diligent of my friends- have failed to blog.
This tells me that it is not only me who is too weary/ busy/ depressed/ and or bored to do that which I've done on an almost daily basis for the better part of a lifetime.
If I were less of the above would I find the task of folding the laundry for the 4,888th time enchanting? (That's estimating twice a week for 47 years. ) Or vacuuming the house for the 8,648 time truly engaging? ((That's every two days for 47 years).
Or is it age and diminished capacity that makes me speak the famous words : "How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable Seem to me all the uses if this world?"
Let's face it: For whatever reason, I'm tired. I'm so glad I'm not alone.
the tree looks great! also everyone including Ruka...oh happy day! Will turns 31 this Friday...my opening in Hudson this Saturday...still too much to do as the wind howls outside the window and the snow blows around the fields....

The UAE's healthcare industry is on an upward growth trajectory, bolstered by a growing number of industry-specific investments from several public and private entities.
With its vision to develop world-class healthcare infrastructure, expertise and services, the UAE government is extensively expanding and upgrading its healthcare systems to match international standards. According to reports by Alpen Capital, the UAE accounts for 26
Furthermore, the healthcare market in the UAE is projected at $19.5 billion in 2020, indicating an annual average growth of 12.7
Speaking to Khaleej Times at the Arab Health 2018 exhibition, several officials highlighted the growth in the country's healthcare industry, the vision of its government and the role that new technology will play in improving patient care.
"We always ensure that we fall in line with the government's vision," said Jamal Ramadhan bin Marghoob, director, sales department at Dubai Airport Freezone (Dafza). "For example, just recently it was decided that there would be an increased focus on halal products in the healthcare industry, so we took the initiative to do just that. It was a similar case when it came to medical tourism."
He added: "When we go overseas to speak with companies that are interested in setting up a business over here, we tell them that we will work very closely with them to ensure that their needs are met. Different companies have different needs; some require storage solutions in warehouses, while others require immediate transport since their products are time sensitive."
He also revealed that there has been an increase in investment in the healthcare
Similarly, Dr Ramadan Ibrahim Alblooshi, CEO of Dubai Healthcare City Authority, noted that technology will play a key role in the development of the healthcare sector in the UAE. For example, he said that artificial intelligence (AI) is going to be crucial in determining what is needed by doctors in the future during treatment. However, he stressed that the focus will remain on ensuring that the patient is satisfied with the care that they are receiving.
"Investments will be scattered across several different sectors, and not just on one segment," he said. "One area that is, and will continue to evolve is specialised treatment. We will see an increasing number of tertiary hospitals coming up in the UAE so that patients don't have to go out of the country to get treatment. If you look at Dubai Healthcare City, we have a number of highly sophisticated and specialised hospitals. The key is to never stop innovating, especially in such a field."
Dr Howard Podolski, CEO of Cambridge Medical and Rehabilitation Center (CMRC), also revealed that in the past five years, the UAE has witnessed significant developments in the field of medical rehabilitation, with rehabilitation centres offering more integrated therapeutic solutions.
"With so much research and many new rehabilitation techniques being developed, rehabilitation centres in the UAE must continue to innovate in order to offer the highest quality care to their patients," he said. "The health and well-being of children is also a major priority in the UAE, much in keeping with the government's outstanding vision and leadership by placing great emphasis on outstanding pediatric medical care. With the future in mind, CMRC has recently opened its first facility in Dubai, which is specifically designed for the treatment of children with special needs; our determined ones."
A new report by BNC
In 2017, France's medical device market reported a turnover of ?28 billion, generated by over 1,300 companies - 92
"Several of our companies have signed partnerships with companies in the UAE and the GCC," she said. "The UAE is one of France's main economic partners, and we know that the healthcare industry in UAE is set for a period of growth due to several initiatives such as Dubai Expo 2020 and UAE Vision 2021. Dubai has plans to be one of the smartest and happiest countries in the world, and this goes hand in hand with further developments in the healthcare industry. We feel that we can contribute to these plans for the future."

Archaeological remnants of human activity in Western Macedonia (Greece) from the Neolithic to the post-Byzantine period have been brought to light in archaeological excavations, carried out in the context of construction works for the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) AG, said a message from the consortium.
"Rescue archaeological research conducted in a total of 14 communities in the Kozani Regional Unit brought to light new archaeological information on the area's history that enrich its topographical and cultural map," commented the Head of the local Ephorate of Antiquities (EFA), Areti Chondrogianni-Metoki, and the archaeologist in charge of the works, Vicky Laïna.
As an EU Project of Common Interest (PCI), and following the second Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Energy 2016 call for proposals, in February 2017 TAP was awarded a grant of 14,018,347 euros. These amounts have been used to fund archaeological trial trench investigations and rescue excavations along the pipeline lots 2 and 3 in Greece (Kavala to Kastoria, approximately 360km in total).
TAP project, worth 4.5 billion euros, is one of the priority energy projects for the European Union (EU), and has already attracted 1.5 billion euros from the European Investment Bank (EIB), which approved the loan in early February 2018.
Connecting with the Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP) at the Greek-Turkish border, TAP will cross Northern Greece, Albania and the Adriatic Sea before coming ashore in Southern Italy to connect to the Italian natural gas network.
The project is currently in its construction phase, which started in 2016.
Once built, TAP will offer a direct and cost-effective transportation route opening up the vital Southern Gas Corridor, a 3,500-kilometer long gas value chain stretching from the Caspian Sea to Europe.

1982 - 1992
In 1982 workers based at 'The Boot' started to think about providing social activities for the young people beyond
the indoors activities available, and set up a Football team, run by volunteers, to provide a regular, fun, outside activity for the young people.
St Basils was now seeing about 150 different young 'sleepers' a month at The Boot, but space was limited. New 'sleepers' could stay for up to three weeks but returning 'sleepers' only a week. Recognising that more properties and accommodation was needed to provide the most appropriate response for young people, in the process of moving on but not yet ready for independence, St Basils opened a project known as the Runcorn Cluster; 2 properties which would provide semi-independent accommodation. In 1987 St Basils took over Tennyson House in Small Heath, which had been owned by Birmingham City Football Club, and used it to provide medium/ long-stay supported accommodation for homeless young men. The project, later renamed Radford House after St Basils Chair Rosie Radford, allowed for move-on accommodation from the Boot nightshelter for young men with higher support needs.
By 1987 Les Milner had recognised that providing dormitory style accommodation was no longer appropriate and that the building was in dire need of repair. St Basils launched 'The Boot' appeal to fundraise for a new shelter for homeless young men and in 1988 'The New Boot' in Bordesley was opened to replace the original Boot night shelter. The New Boot provided emergency accommodation for 21 homeless young men. They had their own rooms, 'bedsits', with access to shared facilities.
Meanwhile 'The Boot' was refurbished and converted into offices providing a Head Quarters base for St Basils administrative staff. The chapel area of the old church which had been preserved after the church fell out of use for worship was left unaltered and remains intact to this day.
In 2008 after extenstive refurbishment 'The New Boot' was renamed 'Milner Court' in honour of the late Revd Les Milner, founder of St Basils, so that his legacy would live on. It remained a project exclusively for young men until 2013. It is now our emergency accommdoation scheme in central Birmingham housing single young men and women for up to 3 months whilst they are assessed and a longer term alternative more suited to their needs is found for them.
St Basils church remained as offices for St Basils staff until 2012 when the downstairs part was converted into St Basils Youth Hub, meaning St Basils frontline advice and assessment services had gone full circle and returned to the location they were originally housed in. The Youth Hub had originally opened at The Bond in 2010. It replaced St Basils service 'The Link' which had been postitioned at the end of Corporation Street.

When it comes to travel insurance, buying through a travel agent or a well-known high street brand may not necessarily be the cheapest option or represent the best value for money for your individual circumstance. The only real way to ensure that you've got the right policy at the right price is to do a travel insurance quote comparison.
What To Look For When Comparing Travel Insurance
You should never base your decision to purchase a travel insurance policy on price alone but instead pay careful attention to the levels of cover offered. That said, there's no reason for you to pay out more than you have to! By comparing policies from a variety of insurers you can avoid paying over the odds. Here are some important things to look for when doing a travel insurance comparison:
- Compare Cancellation Cover
Make sure you look for policies that offer enough to cover the costs of unused travel expenses should you have to cancel the trip. Don't be tempted to under insure as this could invalidate your policy. However, there's absolutely no need to pay out for more cover than you need either.
- Compare Medical Expenses & Repatriation Cover
Medical treatment abroad can be very costly as can needing to be repatriated back home! Don't skimp on this benefit; look for a policy that provides a good level of cover because if you become unwell or have an injury, the last thing you want to worry about is having to foot the bill.
- Compare Policy Excess
This is the portion you are responsible for paying in the event of a claim. Sometimes you can pick up a cheap travel insurance policy if the excess is high, but you need to decide if the amount is affordable to you, otherwise that low cost policy may not end up being so cheap after all.
Compare Holiday Insurance With Cover For Medical Conditions
It's all very well to compare travel insurance policies but if they do not include cover for your existing medical conditions, then it can be a pretty pointless task. Here at Medical Travel Compared, we simplify the process of finding suitable cover and save you from having to answer questions about your health over and over again in order to compare holiday insurance. You can use our in-built screening facility to declare all your medical conditions quickly and easily, and you only have to do it the once! We then search our panel of specialist medical travel insurers and list solutions in price order based on your criteria, so you can compare your options at a glance.
Compare Travel Insurance Over 50
Yes travel insurance premiums tend to increase with age and some insurers even start to withdraw cover, but you shouldn't give up on finding reasonable priced cover. Our panel of insurers consist of a wide range of over 50s travel insurance specialists and providers who welcome the custom of mature travellers regardless of age. With us, you can compare both single trip and annual policies, and if you're partial to the odd cruise, you can compare cruise cover too.

Brotherhood among colleagues is answer to successful organization
What sets IPSSA Delta apart from other regions is the deep sense of brotherhood and solidarity amongst its members. With relationships that go back decades, they are much more than colleagues, and a typical regional meeting is an opportunity to spend some time with friends.
Ian Jensen, president of the IPSSA Delta Region, takes great pride in building up the membership and participation of his chapter. An IPSSA member for 20 years, Jensen has served as both president and vice president for his region twice. His chapter is one of the largest in California. Starting with just a few people, Jensen has been a part of building the membership to 40.
Jensen is the leader of an active chapter, with excellent attendance at all of their meetings. "You have to make it fun to attend," Jensen said, noting that his meetings regularly give out prizes, hold raffles and have nice dinners.
But the real meat of the meetings is in the educational opportunities that are available. "We have really interesting speakers," Jensen said, adding, "The meetings are a great opportunity for our members to learn from the speakers and also from each other."
Chapter supporters, encompassing a broad group of pool and spa industry manufacturers, use the meetings to explain the ins and outs of new pool products and chemicals.
Jensen cares very much that all of his members have access to the latest information available in the industry. One such way he has facilitated this is to fund all members and their subscriptions to this publication.
Chapter supporters have noticed this dedication to embracing new techniques and technology as well as the large member attendance and participation and that makes it worth their while. "I'm always hearing, 'wow, you have a really great chapter,' " Jensen said.
Jensen's chapter has a lot of support. "Our chapter supporters are phenomenal, and very generous," Jensen said.
Rick Plath, who has four times served as president for this region, gives a lot of credit to the chapter supporters as well, acknowledging that to succeed in this business, you need a lot of good contacts, as well as good classes. He believes this is one of the reasons for the good turnout at the meetings.
"While many other chapters complain about attendance, we have a packed house at each meeting," said Plath, adding, "The level of chapter support we get from manufacturers has done wonders for us."
The Delta members enjoy many IPSSA benefits, such as scholarship programs and great insurance offering liability against damage to pools and spas while also protecting against personal injuries.
Jensen really enjoys the service that he performs as an IPSSA president, but he also recognizes that it's a lot of work. There's a lot that goes on behind the scene, in trying plan meetings, build up membership, as well as organizing fundraisers and donations.
What he enjoys most about his ser- vice is interacting with other members, believing that s it's important to relay corporate information. "It makes me feel good to tell members how insurance affects us, and how it works for us," he said.
Jensen's chapter is also generous, donating to all sorts of causes. Their philanthropy extends to widows of past members, helping prior members in times of need, scholarship programs, as well as contributing to local police programs. They also have an annual Christmas party.
Jensen thinks that the best attribute of his chapter is his members' response to sick routes. His group members are more like a family, willing to bend over backwards for each other. "We have had to use our sick route coverage numerous times throughout the years and the response has always been overwhelming."

This Week's Box: January 14, 2019
Tarocco Blood Oranges
Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood, CA
A beautiful orange to deep red flesh is revealed when you slice open a Tarocco. The flesh of the blood orange is firmer and more dense than an orange and its flavor is a little more tart. These beauties sweeten and darken in color as the season progresses.
Warren Pears
Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood, CA
The Warren pear has a classic European texture — soft and juicy with a melting mouthful. It has a sweet flavor and avoids the typical grittiness found in most other pear varieties.
Fuji Apples
Smit Farm, Linden, CA
Fujis are a cross between Red Delicious and Ralls Janet, anheirloom apple dating back to Thomas Jefferson. They are one of the sweetest variety apples around.
Pink Lady Apples
Smit Farm, Linden, CA
Pink Lady Apples are a cross between the Golden Delicious and Lady Williams. They are a crisp and juicy apple with a tart finish. Pink skins and a creamy white colored flesh that resists browning make this an excellent apple for salads and slicing.
Hayward Kiwi
Chiechi Farm, Live Oak, CA
Originally known as the Chinese gooseberry due to its Chinese origins. Hayward Wright, a New Zealand nurseryman propagated his plants by grafting, and they eventually became the preferred cultivar of growers due to their sweet flavor.
Olsen Organic Farm, Lindsay, CA
Clementines are very sweet, juicy, easy to peel, and usually seedless mandarin, making them very popular with children and adults alike.

Krista and Vince absolutely CRUSHED it.

'Govt likely to keep FY10 borrowing target'1 min read . Updated: 29 Sep 2009, 11:29 AM IST
'Govt likely to keep FY10 borrowing target'
'Govt likely to keep FY10 borrowing target'
New Delhi: India's borrowing target for 2009-10 is likely to remain unchanged, a finance ministry official said on Tuesday, ahead of a meeting to finalize the borrowing calendar for the second half.
The comment helped reinforce market expectations and the 10-year benchmark bond yield was largely unchanged at 7.14% from beforehand but off 7.17% at the previous close.
A meeting between Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and finance ministry officials is scheduled at 3 pm (local time) to finalize the borrowing calendar for October-March.
The government had pencilled borrowings of Rs4.51 trillion ($93.6 billion) for the full year and sold Rs2.95 trillion of bonds in April-September.
The initial borrowing target for the first half was 2.99 trillion, but the central bank cancelled an auction for Rs12,000 crore in early August without giving any reasons, but was seen to have been caused by poor demand.
The government later adjusted Rs8,000 crore through two auctions, and the remaining 4,000 crore will likely be sold in the second half.
Although the market has been expecting no change in the total borrowing, there are worries about erratic rains and an expected drop in farm output that could push up market borrowing.
"The monsoon deficit is a concern to the government's borrowing programme.
As of today, we don't know how the rabi crop (winter-sown) is going to perform," said Rupa Rege Nitsure, chief economist at Bank of Baroda.
She said the borrowing is unlikely to be increased if the production makes up for a lower summer-sown output.
The finance ministry official, who spoke to reporters on condition he not be named, also said the fiscal deficit target of 6.8% of gross domestic product would not be exceeded.
Nitsure said tax revenue should improve on the back of an economic revival, while a surging stock market will help the government push divestments.
"The only uncertainty is on the agriculture front. It's a 50-50 situation at the moment, the picture will be clearer only after December," she said.

I love this little family! It was their first time getting professional pictures done and it was such a good time! Heather wrote me this email that I just have to share: Okay, seriously, you're a ridiculous photographer. Those pictures are just beautiful. There is one of Emery that I want to send to the Gap b/c it's just such a perfect picture (the one of her sitting by herself with that little hat on). How in the world did you take such amazing pictures of our little family? Dana, thanks so much for everything. Can I sign up for next year now? :) Heather
This made me laugh out loud!

So happy the weekend is finally here!! We've had a busy week with visitors coming into town and a little ones birthday party coming up, plus our anniversary so it feels great to be relaxing. We celebrated our anniversary with a quiet dinner in Marina Del Ray and it was one of the very few date nights we've had just the two of us. Even though I love our little baby girl more than anything, it felt great to enjoy time just the two of us talking without carrying a diaper bag or worried about her throwing everything off the table;)

I really hope that you like this mouse! I caught it with its pink paws trying to steal some cornflakes (that you bought out of your hard-earned paycheck, by the way) wedged under the cabinets. He tried to give me the slip by jumping into the pantry-but I, your loyal house cat, was able to nab his sneaky tail before he could get too far, and it was curtains for him.
First, we played a fun little game of you-know-what for a while. I left him alive (more or less). I figured you might like to play with him too- before we eat him that is. Anyhow, I hope my little giftee pleases you and shows you how much I totally appreciate your getting me the wet food sometimes (the seafood blend is much better than that liver stuff, but whatever), and cleaning out my box every day; I really like it clean always (every day would be ideal, but I know you get busy), and that kinda stuff. I even like the cardboard scratcher you got me that once time too, although truth be told, sinking my claws into the new couch feels better.
p.s. Oh wait, what? Where's your kid's pet what? Pet MOUSE? It's white, you say… ? Next time you get your kid a pet, especially one that looks, smells, runs and tastes like a mouse, it'd be good to let me know ahead of time. (I am real sorry about that. I hope this doesn't change anything between us.)
