Ibrahim Mat Zin courted international stardom when he attempted to track the missing MAS aircraft MH370 with a pair of bamboo binoculars and coconuts.
His antics at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) had left Malaysian authorities red-faced.
Since then, the self-styled "raja bomoh" or "king of shamans" has appeared at various places, including outside the Sungai Buloh prison, where he performed a ritual to protect incarcerated former opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim.
However, Ibrahim has repented and apologised to all Malaysians, both Muslims and non-Muslims, for his stunts.
The 66-year-old, who is often decked in a suit, also claimed that certain individuals, whom he cannot name, had ordered him to perform the rituals.

Two new composites-related books are scheduled for publication this spring and summer:
- "Successful Composites Technology Transfer" will be published by The Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) in May.
- "The Economics of Composites" will released/published by SAE International in July.
"Successful Composites Technology Transfer," by George Bullen, describes the innovative technologies and processes derived from the highly successful Max Launch Abort System (MLAS) program. It also describes the impact that these technologies and processes will have on other manufactured products. The book asserts that the systematic ability to migrate and extend the MLAS manufacturing technologies and processes (MLAS-MTP) to other products would take minimal effort. Several examples of extensible MLAS-MTP are rapid prototyping, extensive digital thread, forensic engineering analysis, out-of-autoclave cure (OOA), and low-cost VARTM processes, and rapid precision assembly. Each chapter provides linkage and a roadmap to transfer the specific MLAS-MTP described to a list of extensible products.
"The Economics of Composites," also by Bullen, addresses the economics of composites and its impact on manufacturing processes and the products where it is used. It also addresses the enabling technologies and processes that will facilitate the rapid expansion of composites into high-rate production products within and outside the aerospace market segment. The book contains descriptions of the key economic contributors to material cost, manufacturing processes, health and safety and environmental challenges including innovative solutions that have been identified to mitigate the economic barriers for use of composite materials to replace metals in a wide variety of industries and products. The content was motivated by the highly successful Economics of Composite Symposiums held by SAE International worldwide.
Book pre-order information will be available soon.

Willow Class have been investigating materials this afternoon. We learnt lots of new science vocabulary such as absorbent, transparent and opaque and applied these words, as well as those we already knew, when describing a range of materials within the classroom. We then moved on to thinking about what these materials are used for and […]

Had a conversation this morning..more 'Dating' talk LOL. I asked her the same question I have been pondering…if contact with the other person should be regularly. She was saying that she never really had to engage in the chase because the man always pursued her. It was established in the beginning that there was a common like and they just went from there. She has always been in longterm relationships and the man usually let it be known and kept after her to keep the connection.
I do remember those types of beginning relationships…when I was younger. He liked me…he called or came to visit, etc.
But I must admit, I don't see much of that right now. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but….hhhmmm and I can only speak for myself.
If he is communicating once or twice a month can I call that pursuing? Or one time a week?
Then I have to also wonder, well maybe he is wondering the same about me. Am I picking up the phone to call him? A woman should know her place and allow the man to come to her, but I'm thinking that she could be initiating some interaction also by calling, texting…or just reaching out to him. I don't think she should do all the work, but she can be active in it.
Dating Tip #2
Be open to make the connection. Initiate some interaction.

Members of the Syrian Electronic Army recently breached and defaced the support Web site for the Viber messaging app.
The defacement page states, "Dear All Viber Users, The Israeli-based 'Viber' is spying and tracking you. We weren't able to hack all Viber systems, but most of it is designed for spying and tracking."
On their own Web site, the hackers added, "The SEA downloaded some of the app databases, and after we gain access to some systems of that app, it was clear for us that the [purpose] of this app is spying and tracking of its users."
According to E Hacking News, the hackers also published the names, e-mail addresses and phone numbers of 11 Viber administrators, along with a screenshot showing several phone numbers, UDIDs, countries, IP addresses, registration dates and other data.https://o1.qnsr.com/log/p.gif?;n=203;c=204660766;s=9477;x=7936;f=201812281312070;u=j;z=TIMESTAMP;a=20392931;e=i
In a statement provided to Cult of Mac, Viber said the breach was the result of a phishing attack, which provided the hackers with access to a customer support panel and a support administration system. "It is very important to emphasize that no sensitive user data was exposed and that Viber's databases were not 'hacked,'" the company stated. "Sensitive, private user information is kept in a secure system that cannot be accessed through this type of attack and is not part of our support system."

When talking about packaging, it's impossible not to take sustainability into account. DeeDee puts a strong focus on the constant improvement of sustainability of our products and processes. Not because we have to, but because we choose to. For a better environment now, but also to make a contribution to a habitable planet for future generations.
There are quite a few aspects of the pouch which already improve sustainability and reduce your carbon footprint, especially when compared to rigid packaging solutions.
Compared to rigid packaging solutions such as cans and pots, pouches can be produced with up to 80%* less material and there for have much less packaging weight. This doesn't only result in less packaging waste to throw away after usage, it also means that less space is required for shipment. One carton can contain up to 2000* unfilled pouches and it takes significantly less trucks to transport a number of pouches compared to the trucks needed for an equal amount of cans and pots. Needless to say, this results in a decrease of CO2 emissions, which is better for our environment.
* Depending on size and thickness of the pouch
We have the technology to create barrier pouches fully consisting of plastics. This means the pouch will offer the protection (against water vapor or oxygen) your product needs, while being eligible to be deposited at a point plastic waste after usage (depending on the recycling program in your country, like 'Plastic Heroes' in the Netherlands). This means less waste for the end user to put in the bin and a chance on a second life for the used plastics.
At DeeDee, we dive deeply into the product you want to pouch, learn all about the ins & outs and choose the most suitable material and barrier carefully. With the right material and barrier, we can prevent the food from spoiling before the desired shelf-life and greatly reduce food waste. This is particularly valuable when one learns the impact food waste has on our world: a shocking 30% of all the food we produce goes to waste.
In addition, the size and lay-out of the pouch are very easy to adapt according to the amount of product your end user needs per moment of use. A pouch can be produced for a specific portion or can be made recloseable, so the end user can close the pouch after usage and doesn't have to use all the product at once. This way we can prevent food from going to waste.
While the majority of the plastics are still being produced out of fossil resources, more and more plastics are being made out of natural and renewable resources, such as corn starch and sugarcane.
One of these biobased plastics is called PLA (polylactic acid) and is steadily being integrated into pouch laminates, as this new type of plastic offers the same characteristics as traditional plastics, but doesn't use up our fossil resources. In addition, it's not harmful to health and can be used for packaging according to the latest food safety regulations. Moreover, PLA is biodegradable, meaning it is capable of being decomposed by bacteria or other living organisms, preventing pollution.
DeeDee is keeping a close eye on the development and application of PLA (and other bioplastics), to be able to offer you the most sustainable perfect pouch. Want to know more about our vision on sustainability? Feel free to contact us for more information!

When you trust your hair to the care of a trained professional, you're always ready to give that stylist the benefit of the doubt.
That's why, if you end up with a new style that's disappointing…
...you're tempted to blame the styling products...the tools the stylist used...even your own hair!
But the truth is, working with a pro stylist is just like consulting with your doctor:
You get a lot more out of the experience if your communication is as clear, understandable, and honest as possible.
"A stylist always appreciates a client who lets them know what they want out of their styling experience"
So, we asked a collection of top professional stylists from around the country:
"What are your best tips for communicating with a stylist?"
Their insights will help you ensure the next conversation you have with a salon stylist will get you exactly the styling results you're looking for!
Stylist Orlando Pita's celebrity client roster includes such headline-grabbing ladies as Oscar winners Jennifer Connelly and Sofia Coppola and international attorney Amal Clooney.
According to Pita, thinking of your stylist as a collaborator is the key to a successful styling experience.
"Oftentimes, I don't know who this person is," Pita says. "If they sit in my chair and say 'do what you want,' well, that's not really exciting for me....so I think collaboration always works best."1
In other words, your stylist is your partner in crafting your exciting new look...and you wouldn't embark on a new venture without sharing the project's details and goals with your partner!
So don't be afraid to really discuss your desires and concerns with your stylist.
It will not only improve your chances of getting amazing results...it will also make the stylist's job that much easier!
The good news is, even if you're shy about sharing too much about your hair, there's a great way to let a stylist know what you're looking for...without saying a word.
"WE LOVE PHOTOS," says Lorean Cairns, co-owner and creative director of New York's Fox & Jane Salon.
"In hair, a picture really is worth a thousand words."2
So don't be afraid to bring in those magazine articles or clippings.
Martyn Duff, a regional creative director for Sassoon Salons, likes clients to show him "images that relate to the hair texture they want, colors they love, and shapes that inspire them."3
Don't forget:
Hairstylists are visual artists.
So if you can show them a strong image of what you want or need out of your hair...their skills and talent will let them do the rest!
Pro stylist Jon Reyman, founder of the nationwide Spoke & Weal salon chain, has a list of topics he regularly discusses with new clients before he even touches their hair.
These topics include:
Reyman says this last question is crucial because it answers arguably the most important question of all:
What hair problem are you looking to your stylist to solve?
"If they're sitting in my chair," says Reyman, "that means someone else failed them...whoever you saw before didn't do their job, and I want to know what went wrong so I never do that."4
Simply stated, any time you're seeing a new stylist, it's because the old one didn't work out.
Making those former problems clear is a wise way to help ensure they never happen again!
Finally, Julia Dickson, founder of the New York boutique salon Fox & Boy, says it's important to give your stylist a key piece of information about the hairstyle they're creating:
The personality of the person wearing it!
"Tell us what kind of music you listen to, artists and movies you like, etc.," says Dickson.
"A girl who works on Wall Street probably has a different definition of a 'cool' haircut than a musician."5
In other words....the more your stylist knows about who you are outside the salon…
...the better they'll be able to sculpt a style that's absolutely "you"!
"Different women have different needs and desires for their hair...make sure your stylist know what's going to do the trick for you!")
So remember…
...just like with any important relationship, communication is a must for a successful client-stylist connection.
So keep the tips from these top stylists in mind next time you visit the salon…
...and we're sure they'll help you and your stylist work together to create a look that's simply spectacular!

Think of us as your binge guide, but with opinions.
It's been nearly 20 years since the world first met The Boy Who Lived, but Harry Potter mania is as strong as ever thanks to J.K. Rowling's tireless tweeting, this summer's debut of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which flies into theaters Nov. 18 and starts a new trilogy of films.
Enter the podcast that'll help guide you through it all: EW's Binge kicks off its first season with a look at the Harry Potter canon. Join EW's Marc Snetiker and C. Molly Smith — two lifelong Potterheads and, let's just say it, Slytherins — as they revisit both the books and films each week with interviews featuring some of the most memorable characters from the wizarding world, including Imelda Staunton (Professor Umbridge), Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) and Alfred Enoch (Dean Thomas), and those who brought the magic to life, including director Chris Columbus (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets), film designers, and more.
Accio, nostalgia (sorry) as we dive deep into each Harry Potter installment with questions you've never asked, stories you've never heard, and things you've never noticed about Rowling's world. The 10-episode series premieres Wed., Oct.12.
So make like Harry after a snitch and subscribe now! Send your questions and comments on Twitter to @marcsnetiker and @cmollysmith, or email firstname.lastname@example.com. EW's Binge is produced by EW's Cristina Everett and edited by Will Malnati of At Will Radio.
Mischief far from managed.

I was nearly four years old when I first learned that my birthdays had an annually recurring pattern. The first three were a serendipity to me. A month before that annual event, I tried very hard to remember my third birthday, but it seemed like centuries past. Four years seems like nothing, now, but at that age it was a lifetime. I also remember being four months old. I didn't know at the time how old I was, but I remember events from that time in my life. I remember not knowing how to roll over on my own. Back then, I felt as though I had been alive forever. Four months is nothing, now. It's just four changes of the calendar and four new laboratory notebooks. It seems that as time goes by, the measure of a day shrinks to nothing. When I pass someone in the hallway at work, I hardly feel the need to say, "Good morning," as it seems like I had never left. If I could live a thousand years, a decade would seem like a year. If I could live forever, all finite time spans would diminish to nothingness in their significance. Well, that's all fine and good, but at no point will I have ever lived an eternity. Even the immortal never really get there.
Which brings me to an interesting point. For God, who has already existed forever and has forever yet to live, a finite time span is, already, like nothing. A day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like a day, for they are both as nothing. The importance of this is in the value that he places on different things. A thing which does not last forever is as good as a thing which never existed. Consider it this way, and very little of what we have here on earth has any value at all to him. What lasts forever?
Heaven lasts forever. Hell lasts forever. The human soul is here to stay. Anything that we can take with us when we die has lasting value, including relationships and faith. Everything else has no value. Understanding this goes miles toward understanding the nature of God, I think. What God does, therefore, will always be toward furthering things that he values, which will always relate to things that last forever. Life and death are nothing. It's the eternity that follows that must be considered.
(Matthew 11:4 ) Jesus used his miracles as proof of who he was.
(John 9:1) When asked why a man was born blind, Jesus replied that it was so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.
From the human perspective, all miracles are for immediate gratification. A blind man is healed, because blindness is bad. (John 11) Lazarus was raised from the dead, because death is bad. The lame were made to walk, because lameness is bad, and so on. Looking back on it with the advantage of a couple thousand years under our belts, we might assume that not all blind were made to see, so not all blindness is for the purpose of displaying the work of God in people's lives. Lazarus…is he still alive? If Lazarus died, then the miracle of his resurrection has become undone, hasn't it? It flies in the face of the assumption that God does all things for an eternal purpose. The lame that Jesus healed, have they walked at all in the last millennium? The immediate gratification felt by those who received Christ's healing has been utterly lost. All healing is ultimately undone by death. Lazarus is dead.
But God does nothing for any purpose which is not eternal.
To understand the miracles, one must understand God. The blind man was made to see, that the glory of God would be displayed in his life. Why? That in so doing, people might believe in the one who performed the miracle. The purpose of blindness is not miraculous healing. Blindness is just the product of living in a once-dead world. That particular man, however, was blind for the purpose of the miracle. All of Christ's miracles were for a purpose that went beyond the miracle, itself.
(Luke 13:18 , Matthew 17:20) If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can tell a mountain to move, and it will. Why? A seed can grow into a full-sized and flourishing plant. A little bit of faith is enough for a miracle, because it takes a little bit of faith for a miracle to transform it into a lot of faith. Faith, destiny and prophecy are the only three ways I know for cause and effect to happen in reverse order. The miracle does not happen because someone has a lot of faith. It happens because in so doing it causes faith to grow. A person without any faith would look upon a miracle as a hoax. He needs at least a little bit of faith to begin with, or the impact of the miracle never hits him. It's the faith that happens after the miracle that causes it to happen in the first place, though. Destiny, likewise, is an instance of cause and effect in reverse. It is the purpose that you were destined for that drives your actions today. If God intends for you to be in Dallas tomorrow, then you will do things today that get you there, whether you realize it or not. Prophecy is a perfect example of cause and effect in reverse. They are the events of the future that drive the prophecies of today. Predictions are only good if they accurately describe events of the future. Hence, it is the future which drives the present when it comes to prophecy.
(Matthew 9:1-2) The purpose of a miracle is to drive faith, but the purpose of faith is the forgiveness of sins. We are saved by faith. Through salvation comes everlasting life, which means living forever in Heaven with God.
So then, it all comes back to Heaven, Hell, and the human soul. People often ask how a good and loving God can let so much pain and suffering exist in the world. The initial response is that this world only has evil for the same reason that Hell has no good. This is this first death and Hell is the second. We are one step removed from what God intended for us, but we are fortunate enough not to be fully removed from it. The second answer is that, unlike Heaven, this world is temporary. To God, all temporary things are like nothing, because he has already lived forever. Pulling a loose tooth is torture if done slowly. The faster you pull it, the happier you'll be. For God, this life is practically instantaneous. The suffering in this life is not the issue. It's the suffering or joy of the next life that really matters.
What is pain, anyway? Pain is the motivation that God placed within our bodies to motivate us to avoid harm. It's not the pain that's bad. In fact, pain is good, if it works correctly. It's the damage to the body, which causes the pain, that is really the issue. Clearly, we were meant to preserve ourselves from harm, at least for the time being. Some time, at least, is necessary for the events which lead to eternity. At the very least, time is necessary for us to find and share the faith that leads to Heaven. We're living on a sinking ship. The more slowly it sinks, the greater our chances of survival.
Death undoes the miracle. Lazarus died again one day, but death does not undo the purpose of the miracle, which is to increase faith that leads to salvation, which lasts forever. God does not fail.

Leader Of New Castle Drug Distribution Ring Convicted By Federal Jury
Millions of dollars in marijuana transported from Arizona to Indiana
INDIANAPOLIS, IN. - Danny Harmon, 56, of New Castle, Indiana was convicted on August 26 on drug conspiracy charges following a jury trial before United States District Court Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson in Indianapolis. A cooperative effort by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigations Division and the Henry County Indiana Drug Task Force led to the charges against Harmon.
Federal prosecutors presented evidence at trial that Harmon was the leader of a large marijuana distribution conspiracy that operated from Arizona to Indiana. Further presented was presented at trial that the Harmon-led organization was responsible for the distribution of thousands of kilograms of the drug from approximately 2004 through Harmon's arrest in May 2011. Several additional individuals were identified by law enforcement as assisting Harmon in his criminal activities. Some of the individuals made trips between Indiana and Arizona to transport marijuana at Harmon's direction. In 2009, law enforcement officers in Prescott, Arizona and Tulsa, Oklahoma seized marijuana loads from Harmon co-conspirators which were bound for Indiana. A third marijuana shipment organized by Harmon was seized in Colby, Kansas, in January, 2011. On January 22, 2011, police executed a search warrant at the Henry County property of Harmon's co-conspirator, Bradford Raines. Officers discovered additional quantities of marijuana and approximately $14,000 cash in drug proceeds. The marijuana distributed by Harmon over the course of the conspiracy had a street value worth millions of dollars.
Harmon faces penalties of not less than 20 years in federal prison, and a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole. Harmon also faces a potential fine of up to $20 million dollars, and the judicial forfeiture of real property and vehicles which were derived from his illegal activities. A sentencing hearing will be set before Judge Magnus-Stinson.

Sunset at Lake Mary Dam, Arizona
There is nothing like a good sunset to end a perfect day, am I right? My time up here in Flagstaff, Arizona has given me the privilege to see some unreal sunsets. Some have even beat the ones back home in Maui, Hawai'i. Don't believe me? I think these pictures speak for themselves on the beautiful colors and surreal sceneries Flagstaff is able to create as the sun goes to sleep.
These were taken on Micah and I's three year anniversary and needless to say that an evening out at one of our favorite places was made perfect with the painted sky.
I wanted to share these with you because this moment is the reason I love to explore. There is so much out there in this world and I want to experience it all. With school as my limit, I am pretty fine with discovering Arizona for the time being.
Where are you going?

St. Petersburg, Fla (Dec. 15, 2014) – The Mahaffey's 50th Anniversary season begins with a look at both where we've been, and where we're going. Through the Lens: The Mahaffey at 50 – A Photographic Celebration of The Arts in St. Petersburg is an historic and entertaining timeline, featuring more than 70 canvas-mounted photographs of five decades of dazzling artists performing on our stage.
Opening with a 6:30-9 p.m. reception Thursday, Jan. 8, Through the Lens will be on view in The Mahaffey's second-floor atrium gallery throughout 2015. In addition, it can be viewed during all publicly ticketed events.
Co-sponsored by the Tampa Bay Times, the exhibition of oversized photographs consists of vintage images from the Times archives, dating back to the early 1960s. The earliest photo is of classical guitar great Carlos Montoya, taken at what then known as the Bayfront Theater the first day of October, 1965. The most recent shows Lyle Lovett and His Acoustic Group onstage this past Nov. 19.
The timeline includes many of the biggest performers of their respective eras, including popular singers such as Johnny Mathis, Dionne Warwick, Ray Charles and Liza Minnelli; stage and screen giants Jack Benny, Gene Kelly, Red Skelton and Carol Channing; rockers Chrissie Hynde, R.E.M., The Knack and Don Henley; comedians George Carlin, Steve Martin and Rodney Dangerfield; jazz and blues artists Sarah Vaughan, B.B. King and Wynton Marsalis; and perennial Bayfront favorites Fred Waring, Sandler & Young and the St. Petersburg Civic Opera.
Consisting of a 7,500-seat arena and a theater with a capacity of 2,000-plus, the City of St. Petersburg's Bayfront Center complex opened on May 6, 1965. A second photographic timeline in Through the Lens depicts the construction process, from the initial dredging along Tampa Bay to the massive renovations that created the beautiful Mahaffey Theater as we know it today.
Those with fond memories of the Bayfront Arena, which was torn down in 2004, will find Through the Lens a nostalgic treat: A mini-exhibit focuses on the spectacular entertainers who performed there over the decades, including Elvis Presley, Liberace and Bruce Springsteen.
The Jan. 8 reception is in conjunction with the inaugural Second Thursdays on the Plaza event. Featuring the best in local and regional live music, these free monthly celebrations will be held on the scenic outdoor plaza that links the Mahaffey with the Dali Museum.
The Mahaffey Theater
The Mahaffey Theater, under the management of Big3 Entertainment, is one of Tampa Bay's top-rated performing arts venues. Home to the Florida Orchestra, The Mahaffey Theater hosts top-quality national and international artists and performances – Broadway, pop, rock, comedy, dance, classical and interactive engagements and exhibitions.
Located in the heart of downtown St. Petersburg, the 2,031-seat cultural jewel boasts spectacular waterfront views and is located only minutes away from white sandy beaches and world-renowned museums. Additionally, the theater supports the highly successful Class Acts program, which enables school children to experience the performing arts through in-theater performances as well as in-school outreach and extension programs.

Method of "Fingertip"
at Eastern medicine There are many different methods forSelf-improvement of health. They include self-massage, stimulation of various points, meditation and much more. You yourself can do a lot to feel better.
Doctors from Eastern countries believe that the fingers are connected with all internal organs. Finger movements Positively affect the body. In Qigong therapy, there is a method of "lowering the fingers." It is used to improve brain activity and prolong life.
Method of "lowering the fingers"
Preparation (do everything 9 times)
- First of all, massage your hands. Then bend your fingers, starting with the little finger. After unbend, starting with the big one.
- Bend the fingers of both hands simultaneously. But not completely, but only the two upper phalanges. The thumbs should be straight.
- Now on each arm, fold and immediately fold your fingers completely in this order: index, ring, big, pinky and middle.
Carry out
- Sit in a comfortable pose. Put your hands on your knees. Eyes lightly cover, tongue touch the upper palate.
- Raise your hands slightly above your knees. Bend your index fingers on both hands and lower your arms down. Leave them in this position for one minute. Then bend your fingers.
- The sequence in which you need to lower your fingers: index, anonymous, large, little finger, middle (see the picture). You need to lift your fingers slowly.
In the east it is believed that through the limbs passes 12 Energy channels. This system works even without its stimulation. In old age, energy stagnates at the fingertips. So it is important to activate it to make the body work better.
After therapy you will feel vivacity, a burst of energy, and eventually become more calm and balanced. Also experts in oriental medicine say that this way it is possible to prolong life.
Share this interesting technique with your friends!

I've been slacking on the writing thing...there's no excuse just being lazy but sitting here trying to figure out what to write about and read and re-reading some of my older posts and one thing kept popping up "Romny, you are a fraud". Countless times I've written how I am going to start putting myself out there and how I'm going to change my sad sack of a life but to tell the truth, I've been saying this for over 3 years now and frankly, nothing except for my waist size has changed (and not for the better). It's no secret that reading, reflecting and thinking are things that I love to do but these are done too much. When situations call for it I do step up and try to make an effort and participate. When in a work situation or a small group (3-4 people) I'm a rock star but put me in a roomful of people that I don't know and I shrivel up and become the awkward wallflower social nightmare. Which leads me to believe that my natural state of being is one of solitude, reflection, quiet, and peace.
There's a saying that I love to use..."Shit or get off the pot" I hate it when people who I have known for some time bitch and moan about the same problems but yet show no willingness to do anything about their situation. I'm afraid, readers of this blog, I'm one of these people too. Even I'm sick and tired of hearing my own voice piss and moan about how fat I am, how lonely I am, how I'm gonna make things different. My inner counselor is telling me "shit or get off the pot!".
For me, the key word is "accountability". There is no one that I need to be accountable for or too, oh, no, wait, the healthy person would say "I need to be accountable to myself". Thank you, Joe Goodie Two Shoes, don't you think I already know that!? Right before school let out I got busted again. My doctor asked me how much of a spiritual person am I. My initial response was I don't belong to an organized religion which was quickly corrected that that's not what the question was. What she was asking was what do I do for my soul that grounds me. For a long time I have been avoiding the elephant in the room; that is and I'm not looking for pity here, but I've always felt like the "oh by the way" the "oops we forgot about" the "oh, yeah, didn't even think about you". I'm invisible and for the most part I would be o.k. with that but physician heal thyself....I need to shake this feeling of worthlessness because frankly, I'm starting to fade and fear eventually I will just disappear and for that reason I do start to light lamps or chant but only for a short time. I have no ability to keep it up.
Years ago, when I left my job in Publishing, I intended to use that time to get things done that I have had to put on the back burner due to work and school. Life had other ideas. I was the lucky recipient of a bronchial infection that would cause me to spew up things that frankly horrified me. I lost my insurance but schlepped myself to the doctors anyway.
So what AM I doing? I was recommended a book that took me a very long time to get "Happiness Unfolded: Self Unfoldment in an Interactive World" by Swami Bodhananda. I've started reading and am pleased that I already know some of the concepts that he discusses as we discuss them in class. My intention is to complete the book and use these tools flawlessly so that this fraud can get a backbone.

How to get a Passport
A passport a document given by the competent officer of a national state, permitting the 'person named therein to travel. It is usually a formal document establishing the holder's identity and citizenship, permitting him to leave the state, and requesting protection for him abroad. A United States passport, for instance, requests, in the name of the secretary of state, that the holder be permitted "safely and freely to pass," and in case of need be given "all lawful aid and protection."
Passports have been used for centuries as a means of identification and protection of persons traveling in foreign countries in times of peace or war, but the universal adoption of the passport as a state document and as an essential travel requirement is a development of relatively modern times. In the United States passports were issued by local authorities ard notaries as well as by the secretary of state until 1856, when, because of the refusal of foreign governments to recognize passports issued by local authorities, their issuance was confined to the secretary of state. Except for the Civil War period, however, passports did not become compulsory for foreigners traveling in the United States until 1918. Similarly, Great Britain did not require compulsory passports for aliens until shortly after World War I. Along with the adoption oi the compulsory passport, there also developed the mandatory visa, or endorsement of a passport by an official of a foreign state as a prerequisite for travel in that state.
After World War II a growing realization of the cultural, social, and economic importance of international travel, especially tourism, led to widespread efforts among the nations to relax or simplify passport, visa, and other travel regulations. As a result, many countries, especially in western Europe, made arrangements with other countries to permit tourists to enter without visas and, in some cases, without passports. Another relaxation took the form of the reduction or elimination of visa fees. The United States waived nonimmigrant visas for Canadians, British subjects resident in Canada or Bermuda, and certain Mexican citizens, and requires no passports from such persons provided they are traveling in the Western Hemisphere only. Similarly, United States citizens need no passports or visas for travel in Canada or Bermuda or for travel within certain duration limits in Mexico and a number of other Western Hemisphere countries. In many countries a simple tourist card is accepted instead of a passport.
Applications for U.S. passports may be made before passport agents in Washington, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, Miami, and Honolulu, or before clerks of 3,800 federal and state courts that naturalize aliens. In the case of native-born citizens, proof of citizenship is needed in the form of a birth or baptismal certificate, or an affidavit by a parent, a close, older blood relative, or some other person hating personal knowledge of the date and place of the applicant's birth ; a naturalized citizen must present a naturalization certificate. Persons claiming citizenship through a native or naturalized citizen must submit evidence of that person's citizenship. A previously issued passport is accepted as evidence of citizenship. Applicants must establish their identity through personal knowledge of the agent or clerk, through acceptable documents, or through an identifying witness. Two duplicate full-faced photographs, in black and white or color, both signed by the applicant and taken within the previous two years, must accompany the application; a group photograph is preferred for a family passport. Photographs may not be larger than three by three inches or smaller than two and one-half by two and one-half inches. On August 26, 1968, a new five-year passport law went into effect. All U.S. passports issued henceforth would be valid for one period of five years from the date of issue (rather than the previous three-year period) and were not renewable. All currently valid outstanding passports were automatically extended to a date five years from the date when originally issued, with no renewals. Passports already renewed were not affected. Also, it was possible, under certain conditions, for a person who had previously obtained a passport to apply for a new one by mail rather than in person.
Here is some up-to-date information on length that passport is valid for:
16 or Older - 10 Years
15 or Younger - 5 Years

"I would like to said thank you to AATKINGS and Shannon. It was a wonderful 14 days tour. During the process of research for the New Zealand tour, Shannon had provided valid information about this tour. She patiently explained every doubt that I had. The tour manager and the coach driver have their professional skills on their jobs. AATKINGS has a well planned and well organised itinerary. We were truly enjoyed the 14 days tour. I would recommend to my friends and relatives in future.
Amelie, Malaysia, October 2016, who travelled with AAT Kings
"The trip was wonderful! Bridgette was the first link, who arranged the tour which was practically problem free. She were very prompt in answering all my queries and arranging everything for us. The hotels were good and the dinners which were included in the tour were really good, dinner at the Langham Hotel, dinner at the Maori village and lunch at the farm, to name a few. Each trip was better than the last. The tour director, Mark was exceptional and we were blessed with very good weather. I really enjoyed New Zealand and have already recommended AAT Kings to my friends who are interested.
Beena and Vijayan, India, March 2016, who travelled with AAT Kings

We would not hesitate to use Experience New Zealand again and we will certainly recommend.
Steve and Alison, Spain, February 2016, who travelled with Moatrek
"The 18-day tour was a perfect length of time to see many of New Zealand's highlights. I particularly enjoyed the small group and the lunches we had in private residences. Our guide Richard was excellent; he was upbeat and had a great personality, and he was very knowledgeable about NZ and was flexible (as much as he could be) with our group if we wanted to make slight modifications to the schedule. We had positive experiences each and every day. NZ is a beautiful country and I hope to get back one day to see areas of the country that I missed on this first trip.
Susan, USA, February 2016, who travelled with Moatrek
"Highly experienced staff led to excellent tour and travel choices which resulted in a holiday of a lifetime. Thank you, Bridgette.
Christine and Alan, UK, January 2016, who travelled with Grand Pacific Tours
"My tour, 19 day Grand Pacific was wonderful! It was well organized and I saw so much of the country. I was not disappointed in any way and would consider a coach tour again after this first tour experience. It was very relaxing with everything arranged for you and yet some free time. Having meals together brought the group together and by the end we felt like we were saying goodbye to friends.
Gwenda, Canada, January 2016, who travelled with Grand Pacific Tours
"Although we did not get to meet Bridgette when we arrived in New Zealand, she was very responsive from the very first e-mail to her. Thereafter responded to all my enquiries promptly. She arranged for 14 days New Zealand Panorama (both south and north island) operated by Grand Pacific Tours which best suited our request. We toured from 5th to 18th of November. My husband and I had a good time and enjoyed every minute of the tour. Would definitely recommend family and friends to go through Experience New Zealand.
Preema and Ramachandran, Malaysia, November 2015, who travelled with Grand Pacific Tours

into consideration. Options with these preferences were considered. After tour selection, Experience kept us to the date on pertinent
details. We really appreciated the personalized service our agent gave us.

Thank you Grand Pacific Tours and Experience New Zealand.
Debbie, Australia, April 2015, who travelled with Grand Pacific Tours
"I googled and by chance was lead to the Experience New Zealand web site. It had all the information I needed to make an informed choice with my holiday. I am so glad I used this site. I would totally recommend it. The holiday I chose turned out to be one of the best I have experienced in my entire life! Love Love Loved It. Totally recommend!
Denise, Australia, April 2015, who travelled with Grand Pacific Tours
"Shannon Buchanan was courteous, helpful, and above all seemed to genuinely care that we were properly taken care of. We decided to book a "Hiking New Zealand" vacation which ended up being a truly amazing way to see the many aspects of the New Zealand wilderness. Shannon took care of the hotel bookings before and after the hiking tour, the booking for the hiking tour itself (including the equipment we would need), and even had a Plan B ready in case the plans for the Hiking Tour fell through. We would highly recommend Experience New Zealand Travel, Hiking New Zealand, and Shannon Buchanan for anybody considering visiting New Zealand.
Nate and Lydia, USA, March 2015, who travelled with Hiking New Zealand

Christine, Australia, February 2015, who travelled with Grand Pacific Tours
"My wife and I have just completed a wonderful "Southern Spectacular" Tour with AAT Kings travelling from Christchurch to Christchurch in a clockwise direction (Tour Reference ZCQRZ1404/01C15a).
We booked this through the Experience New Zealand website and have truly been impressed by the efficiency, courtesy and the caring attitude demonstrated by Bridgette Jowett in handling all our questions in such an easy manner. No question was too difficult to be answered and were answered in such a polite manner.
We have no hesitation at all in thoroughly recommending Experience New Zealand for any travel arrangements in New Zealand based on our very happy experience.

"An excellent company to use for booking our Southern Spectacular trip in New Zealand. It took the stress out of having to find hotels, organise trips when in certain resorts etc. The quality of hotels, food and coach transport were brilliant. It's a holiday we will remember and talk about for many years to come.
Christine and Ron, UK, December 2014, who travelled with AAT Kings

Arrangements for my tour were well prepared to put my mind at ease as I travelled a long way and had to fit in my other itinerary.
Jenny, Hong Kong, December 2014, who travelled with AAT Kings
"Select Experience New Zealand for your holiday experience and you will not be disappointed. We have had a fantastic tour which has met all our expectations of this fabulous country.
Philip and Gillian, USA, December 2014, who travelled with AAT Kings
"This trip for my wife and I was a second honeymoon after being married for 44 years and because our first honeymoon was not very good due to lack of resources in those days. We can only say that it turned out absolutely perfect and cannot find faults in anything at all. We now have some wonderful things to remember for the rest of our lives and are truly grateful to Experience New Zealand Travel and to AAT Kings for such wonderful service. Thank you all very much indeed.
Derek and Maria, Spain, December 2014, who travelled with AAT Kings
"This was my first experience with Flying Kiwi and I highly recommend the company. I could not have covered anywhere near as much of New Zealand and done as many fantastic activities if I travelled independently.
Thank you for a wonderful adventure.
Jane, UK, November 2014, who travelled with Flying Kiwi
"Experience NZ provides service with a personal touch - you feel that they really care about finding you the best tour for your needs. I would certainly use them again should I have the need.
Jenny, South Africa, September 2014, who travelled with AAT Kings

Sunil and Bindu, New Zealand, March 2014, who travelled with AAT Kings
"We thoroughly enjoyed the efficiently run tour, which enabled us to gain a great overview of the whole country, whetting the appetite to return one day. The combination of coach, rail and boat travel, with optional flights, added to the variety and enabled us to access parts of the country many Kiwis have yet to see.
Richard and Jane, New Zealand, January 2014, who travelled with Grand Pacific Tours
"Shannon, Sharon and I would like to thank you and Experience New Zealand Travel for our wonderful trip to New Zealand. The tours, sights and accommodations that you recommended all exceeded expectations. Accommodations were conveniently located near the attractions with access to good transportation. But most importantly was your prompt assistance in helping us to get to Milford Sound after the road was closed on the day our AAT tour bus was scheduled to drive in. When it became clear that the flight to Milford on the next day would also be cancelled due to weather, you provided us with the option of using the bus from Queenstown. I had no idea I could take a bus but I am glad we did. The bus ride over was scenic and we had a very informative driver. Had you not recommended the bus, I would be sitting at home right now disappointed that I went all the way to New Zealand and was unable to visit Milford Sound. I feel that the real test of a travel agency is solving a problem when something unexpected goes wrong. You and Experience New Zealand Travel passed that test with flying colors. Our tour director Mark Hockley for the AAT Kings portion of the trip was the best. His commentary was always interesting, educational and most importantly kept us in good spirits. While we knew that he was an experienced guide, the entire group was astounded to find out that this was his first tour with AAT Kings. We had assumed from Mark's knowledge of the area and attention to detail that he had done this tour several times. Our driver Paul was very smooth and made us feel safe during the entire week. I would recommend both Mark and Paul for any of your bookings. Thanks for your help and patience in planning our trip.
Don and Sharon, USA, November 2012, who travelled with AAT Kings
"The major highlight of my month in NZ!! We had a great small group. Felt very personalized to what we all wanted to do. Justin our guide was fantastic. Very smoothly run. So glad I did this trip and saw the northland. Highly highly recommend.
Shelly, New Zealand, October 2012, who travelled with Hiking New Zealand
"First class tour. The Tour manager (Marty Paranihi) was excellent, had an encyclopedic knowledge of New Zealand and was very informative with his commentary, and with daily bulletins of excursions. He had good humour, kept us entertained with quizzes etc and made for an extremely enjoyable tour. AAT Kings is clearly a very professional tour company and had assembled an interesting and varied tour. Generally the accommodation was very good (although the hotel room at Fox Glacier was cramped). We particularly liked the Skyline/gondola restaurant in Queenstown."
Paul and Maureen, UK, February 2012, who travelled with AAT Kings
"Hi Helen, I was actually meaning to sending you an email to thank you for organising the tour for my parents. They are full of praise for the whole experience. They thought that the tour was great value for money, covered all the places they hoped to visit and the accommodation was excellent. They also commented that the tour guide Ngaire was brilliant (very knowledgeable with a great sense of humour). They would certainly recommend the tour to other people. Thank you again for your assistance, and communication to ensure that everything ran smoothly."
Alison, New Zealand, January 2012, who travelled with AAT Kings

A metal frame studied to realize different configurations such as operative, executive, meeting and courtesy tables and desks.
The main element of 2Q Executive is the square 80x80mm tube that houses an upper 50x50mm tube, assembled through an interlocking system and a screw. Two spigots on the smaller tube fix the beams. The 30x30 mm tube section of the perimeter beams guarantee a high level of stability of the structure up to the maximum available sizes.
The same system is applied to the 2Q Operative version which is composed by a 60x60 mm tube section that supports a 40x40 mm tube, provided with a welded plate 100x100 mm to be screwed to the worktop. Without a perimeter frame, the position of the column becomes more flexible and allows different aesthetical solutions. The 2Q Operative is recommended for small desks or courtesy tables.
The mix of two different colors of the tubes is the peculiar feature of both ranges, 2Q Executive and 2Q Operative.

Marley still not sure what to think
Wednesday, November 26, 2008
first snow, EVER
Last Thursday, after a long night of parent/teacher conferences, I headed home to Morgantown. It was flurrying on the drive home and by the time I pulled into our house we had about a 1/2 inch of snow on the ground. I couldn't get my clothes changed fast enough because I knew this would be the first time Marley ever saw snow. After a quick change into warm clothes, we were off. Marley didn't know what to think at first. He sort of sniffed around and tried to figure out what all this white stuff was. Snow was coming down in huge flakes by this point and more and more snow was laying on the ground. This was when Marley really started having fun. He was jumping in the air trying to catch snowflakes in his mouth and rolling around in the snow. I threw snow at him and he thought it was just the best game ever. By the next morning, we had over 3 inches of snow on the ground! We were excited Marley liked the snow so much! Lets hope for lots more snowy days!

The 2018 NZ Downhill Series dates are out, and with a new Series sponsor :
Is great to have FIST Handware on board for the 2018 NZDH Series.
"Fist Handwear is excited to be launching in NZ this Spring! We are excited to be on board with NZDH for 2018! Fist is premium quality Action Sports gloves and accessories. Check out www.fisthandwear.com to view the latest styles and stay tuned for availability through your local NZ bike shop!"
As for the line of venues – pretty much the same as as year – which was the most attended/participated year since NZDH birth (2011).
As you may have noticed – the entry is still the same too (if you are a member of a club) – if you arent a member – join a club now – or it will cost you an extra $10 / event for a day membership.
WHY – following years of discussion about how to make Downhill and MTB a more recognizable sport – in terms of sponsorship and funding – it boils down to how many financial members the sport has. So consider the millions of people who take to our forests every year – mostly for free – enjoying some of the finest trail systems in the WORLD. Then look at the 7,500 financial members that MTB has – there's a massive disparity there.
So – collectively the clubs of NZDH agree to do Downhill's bit in trying to increase memberships – to make it better for the next generations – tomorrows athletes.
Most club memberships are between $30 and $50 – support your club and checkout their websites for membership details.
If your not in mood to sign up to a particular club – join NZDH – membership form will be out soon.

For as long as human beings have told each other stories, fake news has existed; Roman emperors, Greek politicians and Egyptian pharaohs all disseminated fake news about their enemies. Leaders could choose to a variety of methods; commission poems, use powerful rhetoric, erect a symbolic statue. As the saying goes, "a lie is halfway around the world before the truth has got its pants on".
Figure 2 Statue of Augustus. The Roman emperor used fake news to help him legitimise his war against Anthony and Cleopatra, turning it from being a civil war to a defence of the Republic.
Propaganda is a tried and tested tool in the arsenal of political campaigning and international cyber-warfare. The term "fake news" has been popularised over the last two years, with a 365% increase in usage from 2016 to 2017. Collins Dictionary made it their Word of the Year in 2017. Donald Trump's presidential campaign flourished on the back of conspiracy theories and fake news generated and shared across social media in 2016. Hungary's Viktor Orbán utilised disinformation around illegal immigration to help him secure another term as Prime Minister this year. In Myanmar, fake news was used to stoke tensions and incite violence against religious minorities. All three relied heavily on Facebook as a vehicle for spreading their message, ideas, and beliefs.
It's not hard to see why. Every second, five new Facebook profiles are created, adding to the two billion already in existence. Every minute, 510,000 comments are posted, 293,000 statuses updated, and 136,000 photos uploaded. Every day, 4.75 billion pieces of content – news stories, articles, viral videos – are shared across the platform. The amount of raw data Facebook needs to process and regulate (filtering posts that break the law) each 24-hour cycle is vast. On top of this, Facebook then personalises each newsfeed to each user, considering over 1,000 variables per post to make it as engaging as possible for the users. Eventually, around 300 posts are selected and placed in a user's Newsfeed each day.
Figure 3 Most popular fake election stories in the United States in 2016, by Facebook engagement (in thousands)
It took Trump's Presidential campaign and allegations of Russian interference, along with incoming legislation in Europe threatening fines for extremist content, to jolt Facebook into action. The increasingly partisan nature of the American political landscape proved a fertile breeding ground for fake news articles to be shared, commented on and spread far and wide. More than two thirds of American adults use Facebook to get at least some of their news, compared to a quarter of Brits. Furthermore, as Facebook tailored its algorithms to try and keep users on the site, it pushed and recommended related articles, regardless of the authenticity of the site it was taking them from. Conspiracy websites like infowars, which continues to preach that the Sandy Hook massacre was staged, began prominently featuring on Newsfeeds after breaking events took place.
Figure 4 An example of a fake news story shared by far-right site Your News Wire
Clearly, Facebook had a problem. However, tackling the spread of fake news on the site raised ethical questions for management. Accused for a long time of already having an anti-Conservative leaning, the leadership team struggled with the ethics of determining what exactly fake news was, and if it was their job to limit the freedom of expression of its user. Whilst 'Ranking' news sites has been floated as the latest possible answer, the company seems to only want to utilise this as a last resort.
Facebook initially decided to tackle the spread of fake news articles across the site by introducing 'Disputed Flags'. The idea was simple; when a user saw an article on their feed, it would have a small flag next to it. Red flags would indicate an article that had been disputed by at least two independent fact checkers, and therefore a user would know that the article in question was likely to be fake news. In theory, this would stop users from being fooled by fake news sites posing as genuine established media companies. Unfortunately, Facebook failed to comprehend human nature. Red flags next to articles actually made it more likely for users to click on the link, and in some cases reinforced the pre-conceived beliefs of the user.
Facebook next toyed with the idea of minimizing attachments from untrustworthy sites in the newsfeed. Links shared by users from 'untrustworthy' sites would not include image previews, in theory making them less visually attractive and therefore less likely to be clicked on by someone's Facebook friends. The jury is still out as to how successful this has been.
At the beginning of this month, Facebook entered its most recent chapter in its war against the spread of fake news – it eliminated the sidebar of trending articles. A long-contested feature, the sidebar accounted for only 1.5% of clicks throughs to publishers but often contained inflammatory or inaccurate news reports. Examples in the past included strange headlines such as "DEEZ NUTS" and "LADY GAGA – Photos appear to show singer falling to ground while getting in her convertible". In the states, Conservatives launched a campaign against the trending sidebar, accusing it of having a deep seated liberal bias, a claim Facebook was forced to refute. In the United Kingdom, Nigel Farage accused the company of censoring conservative viewpoints, citing a drop in engagement on his page. In a statement, Facebook's Head of News Products Alex Hardiman credited a change in consumer habits to the removal of the trending section, saying: "We've seen that the way people consume news on Facebook is changing to be primarily on mobile and increasingly through news video. So we're exploring new ways to help people stay informed about timely, breaking news that matters to them, while making sure the news they see on Facebook is from trustworthy and quality sources". The company also released this cutesy video explaining how they would be using new algorithms to try and predict what news stories a user wants to read, based of a variety of factors.
Perhaps greatest hurdle when it comes to the spread and dissemination of fake news across the site is its complicit userbase. Facebook's fastest growing audience are 55+ years old. Since 2012, this group has grown by 46% while the younger generations either leave the site or refuse to sign up in the first place. Unfortunately, the older generation tend to be the least internet-literate. Unlike younger, more internet savvy generations, they haven't grown up with instant access to information from across the world at their fingertips. A reddit group called r/oldpeoplefacebook that shares screenshots of old people's internet mishaps has a dedicated following of over half a million people.
Meet Daniel's mum Lorna…
Facebook can continue to roll out measures that aim to reduce the spread of fake news across the site. It can minimize links and bump articles down the order to manipulate newsfeeds. But at the end of the day, the user base will decide what content is shared or not shared. Ultimately, as multiple studies have highlighted, users are more likely to share, interact with and react to stories that engage with them emotionally. 62% of users will click on a news article shared by a friend on Facebook. Depressingly, a recent study found 59% of people share stories without ever clicking beyond the headline. And if these stories happen to be poorly-sourced or ill-judged fake news? So be it.
So what does this mean from a communications perspective? Primarily, two things. The first is that Facebook is now more than ever a pay-to-play platform for brands and companies. For your page updates to reach current and potential followers, even clickbait headlines are unlikely to be seen unless you are paying to promote your posts; long gone are the days of organic reach. The second point is that Facebook is currently looking to prioritise human-on-human interaction. To this end, posts shared by other users will be far more likely to appear in the feeds of their friends than a post from a page they 'liked' two years ago. Every positive interaction with your page is therefore crucial – meaningful engagement and discussion that keeps people coming back will be rewarded in the newsfeed and keep surfacing up top. Our advice? Quality over quantity is the key to success.

Nowadays, there are so many different food trends that are being introduced to the public on a daily basis. While some of these food trends are recognized for their health benefits, there are also those that are downright funny (like the Cronut). The sad part is, some of these items only last as long as the time they got famous. It is rare for a food trend to stand the test of time and be recognized as an effective and reliable superfood. One of the names that has outlived its trend stage and is still being used by many people is the infamous Acai Berry. If this is the first time you've heard of this superfood, it's about time you learn what it truly is.
What is Acai Berry?
As a tropical fruit, Acai Berry has a dark purple color; which often leads to people's confusion to it as a grape. Growing in huge clusters, these berries are found near the tops of palm trees common in the Amazon rainforest. Despite being considered as a fruit, each Acai Berry only contains 10% fruit and pulp. Majority of its size is composed of a large seed, which has no benefits. As such, harvesting the fruit tends to be a laborious act. But knowing that there are plenty of health benefits that can be obtained from its pulp and fruit, there are farmers who truly dedicate their time in growing and harvesting these berries.
Because there is such a high demand for the production of these berries, they are no longer limited to being grown in the rainforests. As a matter of fact, these berries have extensively been grown in the cities of Brazil. This is where large amounts of Acai Berry is exported from, as a way of meeting the huge demand for the fruit.
The Use of Acai Berry in Traditional Medicine
Since the fruit is native to tribes in the Amazon rainforest, it has been used for years as a remedy for parasitic infections, ulcers, hemorrhages, and diarrhea. Its crushed seeds has also been discovered as a way of treating fever; whereas its roots have proven as treatment for liver diseases, menstrual pain, and even malaria.
The Hype About Acai Berry
While Acai Berry has proven to be an effective product, there are many who wonder how safe it truly is. This is quite expected, knowing that many have tried to bring down the popularity of the berry by creating a few lies and producing misleading information about it.
With the number of people looking for ways they can quickly lose weight, many are using the berry to target them. These products claim that Acai Berry is a guaranteed fast way to lose weight. What these products fail to mention, however, is that Acai Berry is helpful in the overall health of the body. While the fiber content of the fruit may help, it is not advisable to solely rely on it for weight loss. The most effective way to achieve the weight you are targeting is still to have a steady diet and workout regimen.
Health Benefits of Acai Berry
- Reduces Respiratory-Related Irritations – One of the properties found in the fruit has been associated with the prevention of irritation commonly associated with respiratory issues.
- Stronger Resistance Against Harmful Organisms – Studies have shown that by consuming Acai extract, you can build a stronger immune system that is able to fight off harmful organisms.
- Better Energy – Acai extract has also shown an increased in the body's level of energy and stamina. As a result, those who consume it regularly are able to fight off exhaustion and fatigue easily. Instead of drinking coffee, you can consume a few berries so you can give yourself the boost you need.
- Better Skin – Acai oil serves as a natural alternative to skin care products that make use of chemicals. Considering these berries have a high content of antioxidants, its normal reaction is to improve the skin. The effect of these berries on the skin can be traced back to the native Brazilians who consume the fruit to treat certain skin conditions. At the same time, it produces a healthy glow that comes from within.
- Anti-Aging – Compared with other fruits, Acai Berries contains antioxidants twice as much as blueberries and ten times the amount of grapes. For this reason, the consumption of this fruit has produced a slow or reverse process of aging.
- Improves the Digestive System – The berries also contain powerful detoxification qualities that help the body. For this reason, it is considered as a great source for dietary fiber that helps keep the digestion system clear.
- Helps in Weight Loss – Because of the dietary fibers found in the fruit, it has been found to be helpful in weight loss. The superfood has also been known to be helpful in maintaining a healthy weight.
- Improves Cellular Health – Acai berry contains anthocyanins that play a vital role in the upkeep or cellular health. As a result, it keeps the cells strong against free radical invasion.
- Better Mental Function – The fruit has also been shown to help in preventing mental imbalance typically found in menopausal women.
- Better Sex – Thanks to the help it produces in increasing blood circulation, Acai Berry has been known to contribute to a better sex drive boost; especially among men.
- Optimizes Heart Health – Acai Berries contain both high amounts of anthocyanins and plant sterols, which have been associated in lowering cholesterol levels, preventing blood clots, relaxing blood vessels, and improving overall blood circulation.
- Fights Against Cancer – The fruit contains a high amount of ellagic acid and Vitamin C. According to research, ellagic acid has shown effects in suppressing the growth of cancer cells in the body. While this is an ongoing study, it is good to know that Acai Berries play a benefit in fighting the growth of cancer in the body.
How to Select and Store Acai Berries
The best way to purchase fresh Acai is when they are near a plantation. Since these fruits are only harvested twice a year, they can cost a lot of money. Once the fruit has been harvested, it should be eaten right away or transported for processing. From this point on, the fruit is made available in a freeze-dried form.
Preparing and Serving Acai Berries
The edible part of the Acai fruit is its pulp or outer peel. The seeds, on the other hand, may be discarded or used as fodder for animals. Its palm heart, however, is eaten as a vegetable throughout the world. Even though they have no or little nutritional value, these palm hearts are still considered as a delicious delicacy and can be costly.
Acai Berry Bowl Recipe
- Rice Milk, 250ml
- Soaked Oatmeal, 1 scoop
- Acai Powder, 1 scoop
- Pomegranate Seeds, 2 Tablespoons
- Dried Inca Berries
- Dried Mulberries
- Fresh Mixed Berries
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Enjoy!
