Trip Report- Travel Day 2 Ahmedabad to Diu
While we were in Ahmedabad we visited several places and missed visiting some of them so would be doing those left out in our next trip.
Places we visited were Gandhi Asharam, DASTAN the Car Musuem, Kanoria Lake,. These were done on the 16th and then on 17th we visited Adalaj ne Vav and the Indoria Dyno Park and then finally Vishala for dinner and snacks.
Drive from Ahmedabad to Diu
The the morning of 18th, we were up and ready and on the road at 8am.we drove through Bopal, Bavla, Bagodara, Lothal(didn't halt here), Fedra, Pipali, Dholera, Adhelei and from here we took a right turn towards Velavadar. We were at Velavadar at 10AM and spent a good 2 hours at this place covering a total distance of approx 160am (this includes the to and fro to Velavadar and drop ve inside the park). At 1154am we started our final leg for the day's destination Diu.
Again joining the the main highway at Adhelei we reached Diu at 1710 Hrs crossing Nari, Vartej, Sihor, Songadh, Sanosara, Ranghola, Dhasha, Chavand, Lathi, Amreli (took the bypass), Chalala, Dhari, Timberwal Forest check post, Tulsishyam, Una & finally at Diu.
The total distance during the day was a little over 453Kms and took approx a little more that 9 hours including 2hours of stoppage at Velavadar.
Road Conditions
The roads are mostly good leaving aside 18 Kms which traverses through the Gir Forest and is ridden with hundreds of speed breakers and mix of good to very bad roads. The rest of the complete stretch from Bhagdora onwards is single road but good. I maintained a driving speed of 85 to 95 Kmph, though I could nave easily done more but this is the speed that I maintain when travelling with family. Also the roads for a 1/2 a Km around Lathi is bad but under construction, so there's hope there.
Initially I'd planned to stay in Diu for 2 nights but have decided to extend it by 1 night. Will be canceling my stay in Zainabad and leave that for a later time. She is another item gets added to the bucket list.
Will be uploading ng some pics later today in a separate post.
Cheers for now.

Tip #4 – Choose Your Menu
How to recreate the barbecue experience
Gas grills are usually on the higher end of the price scale, as they require far more mechanical components then other grills. You can be expecting to invest anywhere from $50 for a smaller grill up to $600+ for a large stationary grill.
The whole idea of a backyard barbecue is to have a great time so you need to come up with some great game ideas to keep everyone entertained. Three legged races are always fun. Musical chairs can be hilarious and fun for people of every age. If the temperature is warm, water balloon fights can be great as well. It is a nice idea to have some simple prizes on hand as well to give to the winners of each game.
• There are always spillages at barbecues, so provide kitchen towels, napkins or wipes for your guests to help themselves to.
• The weather – sometimes when you planned to have a barbecue the weather forecast was promising but then the rain clouds start to form and so it's probably wise to move indoors.
Holding a barbecue for 100 people or more? It can be a great way to feed everyone, whether it's for a birthday party, anniversary or even a wedding. But there's no denying that there's quite a lot of work involved. So before you start, think about enlisting some helpers to aid with preparing the side dishes, marinading the meats – and for actually handling the barbecue itself.
A charcoal barbecue is a symbol of Summer, a way to bring the whole family outdoors to enjoy a meal which is somehow more sophisticated than a picnic while having many of the same characteristics.
• Have plenty of utensils for cooking and serving. Remember to have an additional set for handling the vegetarian food.
No you don't. If you follow the tips we've provided you'll be reducing the risk of overdosing on carcinogenic substance.

Purpose: Glioblastoma (GBM) is resistant to standard of care. Immune checkpoints inhibitors (such as anti-PD-1 mAbs) efficiently restore antitumor T-cell activity. We engineered a new oncolytic herpes simplex virus (oHSV) expressing a single-chain antibody against PD-1 (scFvPD-1) to evaluate its efficacy in mouse models of GBM.
Experimental Design: NG34scFvPD-1 expresses the human GADD34 gene transcriptionally controlled by the Nestin promoter to allow replication in GBM cells and a scFvPD-1 cDNA transcriptionally controlled by the CMV promoter. ELISA assays were performed to detect binding of scFvPD-1 to mouse and human PD-1. In vitro cytotoxicity and replication assays were performed to measure NG34scFvPD-1 oncolysis, and scFvPD-1 expression and secretion were determined. In vivo survival studies using orthotopic mouse GBM models were performed to evaluate the therapeutic potency of NG34scFvPD-1.
Results: NG34scFvPD-1–infected GBM cells express and secrete scFvPD-1 that binds mouse PD-1. The introduction of the scFvPD-1 sequence in the viral backbone does not alter the oncolytic properties of NG34scFvPD-1. In situ NG34scFvPD-1 treatment improved the survival with a tail of durable survivorship in 2 syngeneic immunocompetent mouse models of GBM. Mice that survived the first GBM challenge rejected the second challenge of GBM when implanted in the contralateral hemisphere. However, this was not true when athymic mice were employed as the recipients of the second challenge, consistent with the need for an intact immune system to obtain a memory response.
Conclusions: NG34scFvPD-1 treatment induces a durable antitumor response in 2 preclinical mouse models of GBM with evidence for antitumor memory.

Ooo talk about a controversial subject! As a WAHM, tv time (excessive vs none) is thrown into my face everyday. But each day is different depending on what's going on. I have a meeting or need to get some work done and the boys are bored. What do I do? If the weather is good, outside they go. They've got decent imaginations and a buttload of toys in the backyard.
But if the weather is bad, I might: 1) turn on the tube and put on Diego; or 2) send them to their room to play until I am done with my meeting; or 3) wait for naptime to get the really big stuff done.
Not the world's most perfect solution but it is a solution. And, truthfully, there are some days when I don't monitor their tv time as closely as I should and they end up watching it most of the day.
Am I a bad mom? Nope. Am I a busy, full time employee with three energetic and easily bored boys? Yep.
Can I afford day care? Nope. Is it easier to let the boys watch tv while I keep a roof over our heads, food on the table, and clothes on our backs? Yep.
So really it's a balance and I figure that, in the end, the time I do spend with my kids (which is a lot) will undo most of the stuff that tv is doing to them to begin with.
What do you think? Are you okay with tv in moderation or are you no tv household? Let me know!

The history of present-day Romania can be traced back to prehistoric times. Archaeological traces of human settlements dating to approximately 40,000 BC have been found scattered throughout the country's territory.
Nevertheless, the first written record of the tribes living within the borders of the modern Romanian state comes from the Greek historian Herodotus. The area corresponding to current Romania was inhabited by a confederation of tribes called Dacians, from the larger family of the Getae population. During 101 - 106 AD, the Roman emperor Trajan defeated the Dacian kingdom, then under the rule of king Decebalus, conquering the Dacian kingdom. The Roman province of Dacia was intensely colonized between 106 and 271 AD, the moment of the Roman withdrawal, leading to the local population adopting the language and culture of the conquerors. The process, referred to as Romanization, gave birth to the Proto-Romanian language.
Following the withdrawal and throughout the Early Middle Ages, the territory was periodically invaded by Goths, Huns, Slavs, Magyars, Cumans and other nomadic tribes.
Although the Christianization of the population may have started during the Roman period, the evidence shows that the process took scale after the withdrawal and throughout the Early Middle Ages. Following the arrival of Bulgarians, Slavonic was introduced as the liturgical language.
By the 13th century, the principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia emerged, South and East of the Carpathian arch. Inside the Carpathian arch, the present-day Transylvania became part of the Kingdom of Hungary during the 11th century.
The Ottoman Turks conquered Constantinople in 1453 and the threat of the Ottoman Empire soon reached the borders of the newly formed principalities. They, nevertheless, maintained their autonomy until mid-16th century and witnessed a quick succession of rulers. Among them, Wallachian Vlad Țepeș later became the source of inspiration for Bram Stoker's character, Dracula. The principality of Moldavia reached a cultural, diplomatic and military peak during the 47-year reign of Ștefan cel Mare, in the second half of the 15th century.
For a brief period during 1599, Wallachia, Moldavia, and Transylvania were governed as a single state under the rule of Mihai Viteazul. After his death, Wallachia and Moldavia became vassal to the Ottoman Empire and gradually fell under Ottoman suzerainty until the 19th century. The provinces preserved their internal independence in exchange for tributes paid regularly to the Empire finances. A prominent figure of the Age of Enlightenment in the Romanian principalities was Dimitrie Cantemir, who in addition to being the ruler of Moldavia during the late 17th century, was also a philosopher, historian, composer and ethnographer.
The Hungarian kingdom had been an Ottoman province for 150 years, when the Turks were defeated by the Austrians in 1699. Transylvania, along with the rest of the kingdom, became part of the Austrian Empire ruled by the Habsburgs.
By the early 19th century, tensions started to build up in Wallachia and Moldavia, as the Ottoman suzerainty regime became tighter. In 1821, Wallachian Tudor Vladimirescu led an uprising that was violently ended as he was caught and executed by the Ottomans.
The Russo-Turkish War of 1828-1829 concluded with the two provinces coming under Russian supervision. The year 1848 brought along a revolutionary wave, that swiped most of the European countries. Revolts aimed at gaining full independence broke out in both Wallachia and Moldavia, while in Transylvania the goal of the upheaval was national emancipation. The revolution was suppressed in all three of the provinces.
As a result of the 1848 Revolution, however, the case of Wallachia and Moldavia came into the attention of the Great Powers of the moment, which nevertheless rejected their plea for unification and independence. In 1859, Alexandru Ioan Cuza was elected as a ruling prince by both Moldavian and Wallachian representatives, and a de facto unification of the two principalities was achieved.
In 1866, Cuza was sent to exile and Prince Karl of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen was called to replace him, as Prince Carol of Romania. Under his rule, the united principalities obtained independence in 1878, and the modern state of Romania was founded. In 1888, Prince Carol became King Carol the 1st. His reign marked a period of radical social, economic and cultural reforms that profoundly changed the face of the Romanian society.
In 1914, King Carol I died and King Ferdinand, his successor, led the country until his death in 1927.
As World War I broke out in 1914, Romania initially remained neutral, finally joining the conflict in 1916, on the side of the Allied Powers. In 1918, Transylvania and other smaller territories with majority Romanian population united with the Romanian Kingdom, resulting in what was known as the Greater Romania.
A brief period of prosperity followed in the first decade after the unification, until the death of King Ferdinand. The fourth decade of the 20th century was a turbulent period. Ethnic tensions were rising as the nationalist, anti-Semitic party the Iron Guard gained popularity throughout the country, on the backdrop of the economic effects of the Great Depression. King Carol II took power and installed an authoritarian regime.
As the Second World War began, the internal political situation deteriorated significantly, with King Carol II abdicating in favour of his son, King Michael. However, the power was actually held by anti-Semitic marshal Ion Antonescu. After maintaining neutrality for almost two years, Romania was forced to enter the war in June 1941, siding with the Axis against the Soviet Union and its allies. On August 23, 1944, a few days after the Soviet Red Army entered the country, Romania changed sides, and turning against Nazi Germany.
The country emerged from the conflict having lost significant territory, including the Bessarabia region, now the Republic of Moldova. As King Michael abdicated and left in 1947, Romania became a communist state under the direct influence of Moscow. The first decade of communist rule was particularly harsh, as a new social and economic order were imposed upon Romanian society, leading to thousands of people being imprisoned for political, economic or unknown reasons.
In 1958, the Russian troops finally withdrew from Romania, and the country's government started to assert its freedom from the influence of the Soviet Union. Nicolae Ceaușescu became the president in 1967, a position he would hold until his death in 1989. Towards the end of the 1970s, Ceaușescu's rule had become increasingly despotic, as he imposed a cult of personality and engaged the country into an ambitious plan of repaying all of its external debt that eventually impoverished the population. During the 1980s, his policies tightened and discontent surged as he continued his drastic measures.
1989 brought the fall of the communist regimes in most of the countries behind the Iron Curtain. In Romania, the revolution started in December 1989, in the city of Timișoara, and soon spread across the country. Ceaușescu was overthrown and executed on December 25 1989.
Ion Iliescu, the leader of an ad-hoc party named the National Salvation Front, became the first president of the country after the fall of communism. In 1996, the country elected its first President representing the center-right, Emil Constantinescu. The last decade of the 20th century was particularly tumultuous, with unpopular free-market measures implemented against the background of a strong political and legislative instability.
The beginning of the 21st century was marked by the futher opening of the country along with negotiations to enter NATO and the European Union. Romania was admitted to NATO in 2004 and became part of the European Union in 2007. In 2004, Traian Băsescu was elected president, holding this position for two consecutive mandates, until December 2014 when Klaus Iohannis is elected president.
Despite remains of human settlements from the Paleolithic exist in the current territory of the Romanian capital; historians agree that the actual city of Bucharest came into being during the Middle Ages. Its founder is said to be a shepherd named Bucur, who gave his name to the settlement. The first certain written evidence of Bucharest dates back to 1459, when Wallachian ruler Vlad Țepeș exempted the citadel from the duty of paying taxes.
The first construction still preserved in its original form is a church built between 1558 and1559 in the area currently known as Curtea Veche, now part of the Historical Centre of the city. During the two centuries that followed, the citadel grew in size, extending on both banks of the Dâmbovița River, and became the most populous settlement in the region. In the mid-17th century, the city went through a brief period of decline, witnessing civil uprisings, Tatar and Ottoman attacks, droughts, famines and a devastating fire.
In 1659, after numerous changes between Bucharest and Târgoviște, the capital of Wallachia was set to Bucharest. After that date, a variety of administrative, religious and commercial buildings were erected, many of them in the Brâncovenesc local architectural style that derives its name from Constantin Brâncoveanu, prince of Wallachia between 1688 and 1714. During his rule, important civil works were carried out, such as the Mogoșoaia Bridge, now one of Bucharest's main arteries Calea Victoriei.
Because of the increasing involvement of the Ottoman Empire in the appointment of Wallachian princes, the 18th century is also known as the Phanariot period, named after a district in Constantinople. Some of the most beautiful constructions of the city's architectural heritage, the Stravropoleos, Crețulescu churches date back to this era. At the same time, outbreaks of bubonic plague, famines and attacks by Ottoman, Austrian and Russian troops occurred regularly, until mid-19th century.
Between 1829 and 1834 Wallachia was run by a Russian military administration. General Pavel Kiseleff was appointed to govern the province and undertook a number of measures meant to improve the city governance. One of the most important of the Bucharest avenues still carries his name.
During the first half of the 19th century the local customs, institutions and mentalities shifted as the nobility started to turn its gaze away from the Ottoman Empire and looked towards Western Europe. The changes grew deeper after the unification of the Principalities of Wallachia and Moldova and the appointment of a German king a few years later. The city's urbanism followed closely the modernization of the society, as most of the constructions and roads erected during the previous centuries were wiped off and the configuration of the present day Bucharest was drawn. The reign of Carol I was also when Bucharest started resembling a European capital and gained its unofficial title of "Little Paris".
During the inter-war period, Bucharest witnessed its latest period of administrative and cultural flourishing as new residential and business districts were built and the city expanded territorially. The Neo-Romanian architectural style emerged, inspired by the Brâncovenesc style, with Ion Mincu being the most influential architect of his time. Public transport was modernized with the introduction of the first electric streetcars and buses.
The city was severely damaged by an earthquake in 1940, as well as by bombardments during the Second World War.
The communist period between 1947 and 1989 dramatically changed the face of Romania's capital. The government's massive urban relocation plans led to an explosion in the population of the city. Starting from the 1970, extensive neighoubrhoods were demolished and extensive quarters with blocks of flats were built in order to accommodate the recently moved inhabitants. Civil constructions were build imitating the social realism style in the Soviet Union.
In 1977, an earthquake of 7.4 degrees on the Richter scale shook the country and severely affected its capital, claiming 1500 lives and destroying old buildings. The event was the main trigger for a massive scale plan to build a new Civic Centre, which materialized during the 1980s and culminated with the construction of the present-day Palace of Parliament, the second largest building in the world.
In December 1989, Bucharest streets hosted the mass protests and violence that led to the fall of communism.
After the communist period, the city has been undergoing a process of modernization, with both destruction and restoration of its architectural heritage.

How To Buy The Best Massage Chair Pad?
There are many things that should be kept in mind when you decide to buy a massage chair pad.
Your massage chair pad should be functional and must let you use it with ease. It should be easy to use and provide you with relief and comfort. See if it will allow you to use in different nodes. Check if it will allow you to change the intensity when you are using it. It should let you have custom settings and use them on varied levels. The ones with automatic functions can be best for you. The various types of functionality are:
- Heat Therapy: The feature of heat therapy will provide with a warm feeling to your body. It will quickly relieve you from pain and ensure that even your brain becomes free from stress. It will give you a relaxing experience and keep your worries away.
- Vibration: With vibration, you can remove the various discomforts and have a relaxed feeling. It will provide good support to your buttocks and also takes care of the thighs. Furthermore, check out the one which will let you set your own speed.
- Rolling: With this technique, you will feel like someone is using his fingers and thumbs to give you a massage. It has a relaxing effect and is very good for your muscles. Also, it will improve blood circulation and will improve back pain. It will also help you recover from injuries and will aid in managing pain for people with arthritis.
- Kneading: This has the same feature as the rolling technique. It will reduce swelling and will also remove toxins from the body. It will aid in muscle growth and can be very helpful in eliminating anxiety.
When buying a massage chair pad, ensure that it is portable. It must be in a convenient design which will let you take it anywhere you want. Moreover, the shape of the chair pad should be very suitable to fit in your chairs and seats. Also, it must be lightweight and let you carry it with ease. Look out for the one which is equipped with a carrying handle. It must be compact, and the one which is foldable will serve better.
The most important thing that you need to see in a massage chair pad is its effectiveness. Without efficiency, it would be a worthless product. For this, one can always read all its features before buying it.
Look out if the massage cushion is well padded and that if it will give you comfort when you sit on it. It should be a versatile product and should have safe materials. Also, it should be soft and should possess the perfect thickness to give you quick relief. It should come in a convenient design and provide you with peace of mind. It should not have a slippery bottom which tends to fall down when you sit on it.
Affordability and Convenience
Price is one of the most important factors which should be kept in mind when you buy a massage chair pad. It should be affordable and must be a budget buy. The other added feature that one needs to look out for is that it should let you rotate it in directions. It should have different configurations and should move vertically.
Adapter Placement
If you are looking to have a massage even when you are traveling, then it becomes a must to have a car adapter. With it, you can conveniently make long-distance travel by plugging your chair massage pad in the cigarette lighter of the car.
Other Features
The points mentioned above were some of the key features that you need to look out for when buying a massage chair pad. However, you also need to ensure that it should be a durable product and is composed of quality materials. In addition to this, you can also look out for the one which is equipped with back straps which will place it securely. See if it will fit in people having different heights.
Benefits of Massage Chair Pad
Improve Blood Circulation:
This has to be the top benefit from a massage chair pad. A massage cushion has the ability to loosen up the stiff muscles. In doing so, it will improve the blood circulation of your body and will also relieve you from tension.
Attain a Better Posture:
It will ensure that you get a better posture, thereby sitting comfortably. It aids in treating inflammation as well as pain and make you have easy movement. With this, you can walk confidently and also sit or sleep without any discomfort.
Relieves Pain:
With a massage chair pad, you can get relief from pain. It is very suitable for people who are suffering from arthritis. It is very effective in reducing various kinds of discomfort and will support you in having a healthy lifestyle. Also, it has the ability to reduce the pain from your muscles and joints. It is also beneficial in treating various kind of other ailments.
Relieves Stress:
A massage chair pad comes with heat therapy and will effectively relax your muscles. Furthermore, the warmth of the cushion will spread through your entire system and will relax your brain. It will also relieve the hormones which will further relieve stress. With this, you will feel refreshed and get to focus on your work.
Apart from the health benefits, a massage chair pad allows you to use it conveniently. You can easily place it in your office chair and maintain a good posture. You can also easily place it on your couch while relaxing and avail its benefits. In addition to this, it can easily be placed in your car's seat and get a comfortable massage while you are driving. You can even place it conveniently on your bed and get a massage when you prepare to get asleep.
Differential Function:
A massage chair pad includes heat therapy which will provide you with a relaxed feeling. It also has a vibration which will take care of your buttocks and thighs. It allows you to adjust your own intensity and get a comfortable feeling. There are also kneading massage cushions and rolling massage cushions which have their own unique feature.
Unlike or expensive massage gears, a massage chair pad is affordable and requires less or no maintenance. It will not cost you much and will also let you save money by restricting visits to a physician.
From the above, it can be seen that a massage chair pad has many benefits when it comes to your health. It is simple equipment which can be used in several places. It is portable and lightweight and will provide you with ease at your convenience.
While they may not provide full-body massage or allow you to choose different positions, massage chair pads are quite effective. In fact, if you use the best product, your trips to the massage parlor or spa center will reduce. This is because they offer similar at times better relief than the full-body chair massage.
Their small size makes them useful in different regions while their compact and light nature improve carrying comfortable and convenient. I also love their simplicity, which enables even a first-timer to use it effectively. To save you time, stress, effort, and money, I have listed down the best massage chair pads in 2019. What remains is for you to make your pick.

This week we saw another example of politically connected firms transferring wealth to insiders by way of government technology grants and subsequent asset flips to overseas investors.
$10 million that went to Endace to create R&D jobs in New Zealand. Those were very expensive jobs. And the asset value created has been captured by insiders with very little return on investment for taxpayers.
If the goal is to actually stimulate high-skill employment, rather than transfer taxpayer wealth to politically connected entrepreneurs, any technology grant policy needs to be far more cognisant of how the real world works.
Entrepreneurship is a trial and error occupation.
We have no idea which ideas will work until they've worked.
So trying to pick winners by giving one firm almost $10 million is bad policy.
There is no guarantee that Endace would get bought out thus justifying the grants they received!
It would be far smarter to give 100 startups just $100,000 each and free office space in a building in Wellington previously occupied by public sector tenants.
Something like BizDojo, but shifting the cost of a startup to buying yourself a laptop and using your grant money to cover server expenses and low level contracting like web design or more experienced developers.
The spillover effects from a density of young (no baby boomers need apply) developers, engineers and researchers living on mince and hot desking for 12 months would be far smarter than the current policy.
I think that Lightning Lab is far better policy but nowhere near the scale necessary to produce a major boost to high skill employment and wealth creation led by technology innovation.

I know, I know.....it's not summer yet but it is just around the corner. Officially, it is not summer until June 21st, but let's hope that the temperatures are not that hot until then. Yeah, right....we live in Texas...
Let's talk about candles and summer time. Most people would say that they don't burn candles in the summer, but we think that candles are an all year around wonderful way to fill your home with fragrances, and set the mood for whatever event that is taking place. Think about all the events that you can use candles at this summer: Weddings, Bridal Showers, Baby Showers, Graduation Parties, Prom, and let's not forget the "Great Outdoors" and all the late evening patio parties or the beach house. Whatever events that you find yourself in this summer there are plenty of ways to incorporate candles and wax melts. We will leave that thought with you.
Now to play a little "Catch Up," and no not the kind you have with fries (Yummy). A little "Catch Up" with the candle biz. We ventured out this Spring (my daughter Alicia, daughter-in-law Hannah and myself) and were vendors at two great events. The first one was in Longview, TX at the "Women's Best Care Day." It was a great event for women and was put together by Ms Sheryll Mitchell. The "Women's Best Care Day," is an annual event and we look forward to being there in 2018. Watch for the flyer on our Instagram and Facebook page. The next event we were vendors at was in the beautiful city of Lindale TX. at the "East Texas Piney Woods Wine Festival." I believe there were some 52 vendors at this event and it was put together very well. We look forward to participating in the Wine Festival in 2018. Look for this event on our Instagram and Facebook page. But as for the summer we will not be doing any vending that we know of unless it is indoors. Soy wax is already so soft that Mr. Sun is not kind to her, but we are looking forward to some events coming in the fall and at the holidays.
There is a wonderful thing that happened at the Wine Festival with a customer that we just have to tell you about. An older woman came up to our booth using a walker with a built in seat on it. She stopped, put her walker brakes on, and sat down. I stood up and said, "Hello," she then proceeded to pick up one of our 8 oz cylinder jar candles in one of our new fragrances, Alaskan Wilderness. Well, I told her, "Take the top off and enjoy the fragrance." She did just that. As she began to smell the fragrance of that candle she had a smile on her face. Well, I could tell that there was something that that smell reminded her of. So I proceeded to ask her if there was a memory attached to that fragrance. She said, "Yes there is." I asked her, "Would you share it with me?" She said, "Yes." She used to live in Colorado and had moved to Texas, to which she doesn't really like because, "it is too hot and the winters are not cold enough." To which I said, "I totally agree with you." Well, she continued her story and told me about the Chinook winds that come down from Alaska into Colorado and how they bring a wonderful smell with them. That smell was "Alaskan Wilderness." I said "Wow that is awesome and I am so glad that it brings you joy." She didn't hesitate and said,"I want to buy this candle." Of course we bagged it up for her and told her that we hope that she enjoys that candle and that every time she burns it that it reminds her of her home in Colorado. That happened several times that day. People opening candles and smelling them and telling us of what it reminded them of and how it took them "Back In Time." It is amazing what a fragrance can do. Take you back to a place in time that reminds you of wonderful memories.
So we hope that you have a great Summer and that you don't leave candles or wax melts out of your summer events and that you allow them to be a road sign to the wonderful memories that you will be making this summer.

Modafinil is an FDA-regulated drug that is available by prescription for the treatment of daytime sleepiness (narcolepsy) and fatigue. It promotes wakefulness and alertness and has been used (illicitly, off-label use) as a nootropic (cognitive enhancer) in highly competitive environments such as workplaces and universities. Read on to find out more information about modafinil.
Disclaimer: By writing this post, we are not recommending this drug. Some of our readers who were already taking the drug requested that we commission a post on it, and we are simply providing information that is available in the clinical and scientific literature. Please discuss your medications with your doctor.
What is Modafinil?
Modafinil is a wakefulness-promoting drug used to treat the symptoms of narcolepsy (daytime sleepiness) and fatigue. In the US, it is an FDA-regulated substance and can be only obtained through a prescription. However, it has been widely used off-label as a cognitive enhancer.
Modafinil is capable of improving a wide range of functions, such as wakefulness, attention, memory, athletic performance, and reaction time.
Modafinil is banned in most sports events as a doping agent, while it still remains popular among competitive workplaces and universities.
Its mechanism of action is complex acting on dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, histamine, orexin, glutamate, and GABA receptors.
Modafinil produces fewer side effects, abuse potential, and euphoria than amphetamines while showing similar levels of cognitive stimulation.
Modafinil usually provides a mood and wakefulness boost, from individual reports published online, and might even reduce brain fog.
However, its usage on the developing brain (during youth or adolescence) might have an impact on brain plasticity and other unclear long-term consequences.
Modafinil is an FDA-approved stimulant used for chronic fatigue, excessive daytime sleepiness (narcolepsy), obstructive cessation of breathing (apnea) during sleep, and shift work disorders [1].
This drug produces reliable stimulatory effects, and it has significantly less abuse potential than other stimulants such as amphetamines [2, 3].
Modafinil is only available via prescription [4].
Modafinil is also used by astronauts to combat fatigue, improve focus, and help adjust circadian rhythm in an artificial lighting environment [5].
Many reliable survey studies have found that modafinil is often illicitly used and popular within competitive work or study environments. Some studies showed that up to 1 in 5 students had used a stimulant to improve their focus and attention [6, 7, 8, 9].
Modafinil Mechanism Of Action
1) Increases Dopamine
Modafinil, although at a low potency, blocks the dopamine transporter (DAT), which increases dopamine. Although this is the same mechanism of cocaine, modafinil's activities on the transporter are unique and significantly more soothing [10, 11].
Interestingly, modafinil's "atypical" properties at inhibiting DAT might be responsible for its low abuse potential. In fact, due to these properties, modafinil is being researched as a drug for dopamine-acting substance (such as cocaine) withdrawal [12, 13, 14, 15].
In animal studies, modafinil partially activated the dopamine D2 receptor and promoted wakefulness by significantly increasing dopamine in the brain (nucleus accumbens) [16, 17].
Modafinil's actions on the dopamine receptor might be responsible for its effects on motivation, confidence, and task enjoyment [18, 19].
2) May Increase Serotonin
Modafinil mildly increases serotonin in certain regions of the brain (frontal cortex, amygdala, and dorsal raphe) [20, 21].
Modafinil has also shown synergistic actions with SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) increasing the amount of serotonin in the brain [21, 22, 23].
Despite promising animal and cell studies, a human trial (double-blind randomized controlled trial) that co-administered modafinil and SSRIs for major depressive disorder (MDD) with fatigue and sleepiness failed to show their synergistic actions for the treatment of depression [24].
3) May Increase Norepinephrine
Modafinil occupies the norepinephrine transporter (NET), which leads to an increase of norepinephrine in the brain (hypothalamus and prefrontal cortex) [25, 26, 27].
However, even when the receptors for norepinephrine were blocked, modafinil's stimulatory properties were not reduced, as modafinil was still able to promote wakefulness [28].
4) May Increase Histamine Release Through Orexin
Modafinil increases histamine release by acting on orexin-releasing neurons, as reported by multiple animal studies [29, 30, 31, 32, 29].
Orexin is a neurotransmitter that increases arousal and wakefulness. Modafinil's effect on orexin might contribute to its stimulatory effects [33].
Histamine is also involved in the mechanisms of the wake-sleep cycle. Modafinil's effects on histamine levels might contribute to its wakefulness-promotion properties [34, 35].
5) May Increase Glutamate And Decreases GABA
Modafinil increases glutamate (excitatory) and decreases GABA (inhibitory) in different regions of the brain. Some of these studies showed conflicting results and region-specific effects; therefore, the exact mechanism is not yet conclusive [36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41].
Uses of Modafinil
1) Fatigue
Modafinil improved attention in well-rested individuals, while maintaining wakefulness, memory, and executive functions in sleep-deprived individuals compared to placebo, as shown by a meta-analysis of human studies [42].
However, repeated doses of modafinil were unable to prevent deterioration of cognitive performance over a longer period of sleep deprivation [42].
In a placebo-controlled trial with 41 participants under conditions of 64-hour sleep deprivation, 300 mg modafinil significantly improved cognitive function compared to placebo, while amphetamine (20 mg) and modafinil scored similarly in respect to mood, fatigue, and cognition [43].
Also, this study showed that even after 64 hours of sleep deprivation, participants under the influence of modafinil reported almost the same fatigue and mood levels as the participants had when they were well rested [43].
2) Excessive Sleepiness
Shift-work sleep disorder is a circadian rhythm disturbance that frequently occurs in people who have to work during a time when they would typically be sleeping. It is characterized by excessive sleepiness during working hours and insomnia during sleeping hours.
Modafinil improved different sleep and life quality parameters of shift workers in a double-blind randomized controlled trial on 278 people [44].
Modafinil helped shift workers fall asleep, increased attention span during night shifts, and reduced the number of accidents driving home from work. However, it had no effect on the number of sleep episodes during work, the number of accidents at work, and caffeine intake in a double-blind randomized controlled trial of 209 people [45].
One of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) is excessive daytime sleepiness. Modafinil reduced daytime sleepiness in two double-blind randomized controlled trials on a total of 36 PD patients [46, 47].
Modafinil helped reduce the sleepiness induced by a genetic disorder that causes the progressive loss and weakening of muscles (myotonic dystrophy) in three double-blind randomized controlled trials on 68 total people [48, 49, 50].
Either alone or in combination with other medications, modafinil helped reduce sleepiness and fatigue in people with major and bipolar depression in four double-blind randomized controlled trials on a total of 587 people and two observational studies on a total of 52 people [51, 52, 24, 53, 54, 55].
In an observational study of 11 people on opioid medication, modafinil reduced sleepiness without disrupting sleep pattern. Similarly, people on antipsychotics saw a reduction in sleepiness and fatigue after taking modafinil [56, 57].
However, in two double-blind randomized controlled trials on a total of 61 people found no differences between modafinil and placebo in reducing sleepiness [58, 59].
3) Addiction
Three studies (randomized controlled trials of 83, 30, and 65 participants respectively) showed that 200 to 400 mg of modafinil significantly reduced alcohol and cocaine addictions [60, 61, 62].
Also, modafinil (200 mg) reduced gambling desire in 20 pathological gamblers in another (double-blind randomized controlled trial) study [63].
In a study (double-blind randomized controlled trial) of 248 adolescents, 170 to 425 mg modafinil significantly improved ADHD symptoms at school and home compared to placebo, as evaluated by clinicians, teachers, and parents [64].
A recent meta-analysis of 5 studies (double-blind randomized controlled trials), with a total of 927 adolescents participants, showed that modafinil significantly improved symptoms of ADHD compared to placebo [65].
5) Processing Speed
In a study (double-blind randomized controlled trial) of 16 healthy volunteers, 200 mg of modafinil significantly reduced the number of errors in several difficult performance tasks (such as visuospatial maintenance tasks) [66].
Modafinil enhances the efficiency and processing of cognitive information in a region of the brain responsible for higher cognitive functions (prefrontal cortex) [67].
However, in a double-blind randomized controlled trial of 39 men playing chess games, modafinil caused the players to be slower and take a longer time per chess move [68].
6) Memory
Multiple studies (in 60, 17, and 64 participants respectively) have shown that modafinil improved working memory, even in healthy humans. Participants that took modafinil, at 100, 200, and 250 mg, showed significantly better results in memory tasks such as delayed verbal recall, digit span, and visual pattern recognition [69, 70, 71].
7) Task Enjoyment and Motivation
In a placebo-controlled study of 64 participants, 200 mg modafinil significantly increased task enjoyment, well-being, and attention compared to placebo [19].
Another study on 41 healthy people under 64-hour sleep deprivation conditions noted that modafinil produced overconfidence and overestimation of one's cognitive abilities [72].
8) Athletic Performance
Modafinil improved reaction time in both healthy and cognitively impaired individuals [69, 73].
A double-blind randomized controlled trial of 60 men showed that high-dose (200 mg) modafinil offers the most significant improvement in reaction time compared to low-dose (100 mg). Modafinil also improved performance on mentally demanding tasks [69].
Reaction time and cognitive functioning are key elements in athletic performance. Doping with modafinil offers an advantage in almost every sport, and such cases have been reported in sprinting [74, 75].
Hence, modafinil has been prohibited as a stimulant by the WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) since 2004.
9) Obstructive Sleep Breathing Cessation
Obstructive sleep breathing cessation is the blockage of the upper airways while sleeping, which is associated with poor-quality sleeping, excessive daytime sleepiness, high blood pressure, and increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and stroke [76, 77].
In two double-blind randomized controlled trial on a total of 416 people with obstructive sleep breathing cessation, modafinil improved daytime wakefulness [78, 79].
However, modafinil only improved alertness but not sleepiness, quality of life, or cognitive performance in a double-blind randomized controlled trial on 32 people [80].
10) Cognitive Issues
Symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS), such as fatigue and cognitive impairment, have been reduced by modafinil across 4 studies on a total of 122 participants (only two were double-blind randomized controlled trials) [81, 82, 83, 84].
11) Mood
Human studies have shown that modafinil reduces reactivity to threatening stimuli in the amygdala, a brain region involved in anxiety [67].
Although not statistically significant, there were trends for reduced anxiety, as well as decreased anger-hostility on modafinil [67].
Another study on 30 adolescents showed modafinil increased aggression, stress, and anxiety at 100 mg, but not in 200 mg group paradoxically. In fact, the 200 mg group showed a reduction in anxiety [85].
12) Emotional Processing
Multiple studies (in 40 and 54 participants) shown modafinil significantly improves emotional processing, such as recognition of facial expressions, as compared to placebo [86, 87, 88].
13) May Improve Schizophrenia Symptoms
In four double-blind randomized controlled trials on a total of 83 people with schizophrenia, modafinil improved fatigue, cognitive performance, or both [89, 58, 90, 91].
14) May Improve Neuron Communication
Modafinil's protection of dopamine-releasing neurons seen in animal studies has shown promise in treating Parkinson's disease [92].
In a cell-based study (cortical astrocytes), modafinil improved the communication between these cells (gap junctional communication), which may play a role in modafinil's stimulatory effects [93].
A similar cell-based study noted modafinil improved communication (electrical coupling) between neurons (cortical) [94].
In multiple cell studies, modafinil prevented the damage or death of neurons due to overactivation of receptors by glutamate (an excitatory neurotransmitter) and degeneration of dopamine-releasing neurons [95, 96, 97].
Side Effects of Modafinil
The most common severe side effects of modafinil are tachycardia, agitation, dizziness, and anxiety [98].
A review study on long-term effects of modafinil reported that all adverse effects were mild to moderate, being the most common headaches, nervousness, insomnia, and nausea [99].
The same review also noted that, at therapeutic doses, modafinil did not elevate the average blood pressure or heart rate compared to placebo in populations at risk for heart disease [99].
Although rare, the FDA published some cases of modafinil-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), a skin allergy reaction that is potentially life-threatening if not treated [100].
Overdose and Withdrawal of Modafinil
A case of overdose (unsuccessful suicide attempt) with 5 grams modafinil was reported. Even at a high dosage, modafinil showed no signs of toxicity to vitals, liver, and kidney function [101].
Symptoms of the overdose included insomnia, severe headache, impaired movement (dyskinesia), and a mild heart complication (long QT interval), all of which subsided the next day [101].
Although addiction and withdrawal are rare, a case report has been published [102].
Tolerance and Dependence of Modafinil
Modafinil's low abuse potential has been one of the reasons why it is a popularly used nootropic [103].
As discussed in the dopamine section, modafinil's interaction with the dopamine transporter is atypical (unlike cocaine) and is thought to be the reason why it does not produce as much euphoric and abuse potential [12].
Although addiction and withdrawal are rare, cases have been reported. Dependence resulted after daily use for an extended period at high dosage. Withdrawal symptoms included fatigue, anxiety, and inability to feel pleasure (anhedonia) [102].
Contraindications of Modafinil
The following contraindications are more precautions than strict contraindications [104]:
- Cardiovascular disease: left-ventricular hypertrophy, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina, or recent myocardial infarction.
- Liver and kidney impairment. The dose should be adjusted.
- Tic and psychiatric disorders.
Modafinil Use During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
No adequate studies in humans have looked at modafinil use in pregnancy. Therefore, caution is advised and the potential benefits should outweigh the potential risk to justify modafinil's use. It is unknown whether modafinil is found in breastmilk [104].
Drug Interactions of Modafinil
It has been shown that modafinil inhibits CYP2C19 and, to a lesser extent, CYP3A4 enzymes, which metabolize many drugs [105].
One study suggested that modafinil may affect the metabolism of drugs by CYP2C19 [106].
Potential interactions of modafinil with ethinylestradiol, diazepam, phenytoin, cyclosporin, and triazolam were reported [106, 105].
Adolescent Usage and Long-Term Consequences
A 16-week human study of sleepy (narcoleptic) patients taking 300 mg modafinil did not notice significant side effects [107].
Although modafinil seems to be relatively safe, usage during adolescence might cause permanent consequences [108, 109].
Modafinil has shown to stimulate dopamine, glutamate, and norepinephrine. Frequent activation of these pathways during adolescence could cause permanent changes in the frontal cortical networks [110].
A review study looking at potential damage from nootropics and stimulants (including modafinil), noted that frequent activation and alterations of dopamine and glutamate receptors could impair brain plasticity in the long term [111, 112].
The same study also suggested that the adolescent brain is sensitive to the effects of stimulants such as methylphenidate and modafinil; therefore, even low doses might result in excessive levels of dopamine and norepinephrine. This could result in impaired executive functions and altered circadian rhythm. However, long-term consequences are still unclear [111].
Modafinil Compared To Other Common Stimulants
1) Amphetamines
As referenced above, in a 60-participant study, modafinil and d-amphetamine produced similar results in improving cognitive function, fatigue, and mood during a 64-hour sleep deprivation [43].
Another placebo-controlled study by the same author noted that modafinil produced overconfidence and overestimation of one's own cognitive abilities. While modafinil disrupted one's self-monitoring cognitive performance, participants given amphetamine performed accurate self-monitoring throughout the study [72].
However, amphetamines are capable of increasing anxiety levels, while modafinil is not, as shown by both animal and human studies [113, 114].
Modafinil has a lower abuse potential than amphetamines, which increase dopamine levels across the brain to a greater extent. For this reason, addiction to prescription amphetamines is common [115, 116, 117].
2) Caffeine
Modafinil was compared to caffeine, d-amphetamine, and placebo in a 16-volunteer study, which noted that modafinil, similar to caffeine, did not produce euphoria and less self-well-being compared to d-amphetamine. Amphetamine also increased anxiety and blood pressure levels more than caffeine and modafinil [114].
Caffeine was also unable to sustain alertness awareness during sleep-deprivation studies. In a 48-subject study using a placebo, caffeine, modafinil, and d-amphetamine, modafinil scored better than caffeine in improving fatigue [118].
3) Methylphenidate
Methylphenidate, most popularly sold as Ritalin, is similar to modafinil regarding its cognitive enhancing properties [119].
Although therapeutic doses of methylphenidate no not produce addiction, higher doses could cause euphoria and dependence if used often [120, 121].

Hearing in London will decide if British-Iraqi Rekawt Kayani should be extradited to France to face people smuggling charges
A British-Iraqi man is the head of a people-smuggling network suspected of bringing hundreds of migrants to Britain, a court heard.
Rekawt Kayani, 34, is wanted in France to face trafficking charges that could see him jailed for 10 years. He was comprehended on a European arrest warrant at his home in the Normanton area of Derby in May.
Rebecca Hill, representative of French authorities, told an extradition hearing at Londons Westminster magistrates court: The European arrest warrant sets out that Mr Kayani is the head of a trafficking organisation, specifically an Iraqi Kurdish network, facilitating movement to Britain from its base camp in France.
Mr Kayani was assisted by Iraqi Kurdish lieutenants who were responsible for the passages and the handling of migrants.
Kayani is accused of facilitating the unauthorised entry of foreigners into France or the other Schengen state and criminal conspiracy. Hill said his involvement in the conspiracy was at a high directorial level and he even switched deviation points to the Netherlands.
Intercept material, ground monitoring and statements from Polish drivers were among the evidence that would be used against Kayani.
The investigation stretches back to 2014 and it is alleged that Kayani was linked to numerous smuggling operates from then until January 2016. It is believed they departed from France and the Netherlands but the gang was based in France.
Hill pointed to a run on 16 December 2014 when 32 migrants were trafficked and a similar journey days later.
The drivers have spoken of smuggling operates in March, May and June 2015, she told. This includes one in June 2015 when four drivers and 51 Chinese migrants arrived in Harwich, Essex.
Hill told the court that Kayani had organised at least another three passages from France. Disguised compartments in the back of a van were used and the drivers were from Russia and Lithuania. It is also alleged there were successful passages from the French ports of Caen and Dieppe.
Ben Seifert, defend, indicated Kayani had not yet been charged by the French authorities and that the allegations were still under investigation. However, Hill insisted Kayani was wanted in order to be prosecuted.
Seifert also assaulted the makeup of the arrest warrant, saying it simply did not say in sufficient detail what Kayani was supposed to have done. This was evidence that the French authorities would have but not releasing it put Kayani at great drawback, told Seifert.
He also said the case could be dealt with in Britain because some of the alleged offending and potential harm took place there. Describing this as a gross simplification, Hill told French perimeters were violated and that war criminals conspiracy was organised in its territory.
The district judge, Vanessa Baraitser, said she would give her extradition decision and her reasons for it at the same tribunal on 15 September.

The Digital Revolution's Promise for Efficiency and Cost
Posted by Chris Tithof
Digital transformation spending may reach $2 trillion by 2019, according to IDC, but so far this revolution has failed to deliver on its promise of improved productivity and higher quality jobs. Typically, output increases significantly after a recession ends. Only the most talented and skilled workers in tech-centric positions experience better wages. Most employees have flat incomes that fail to keep up with inflation, with a mere 1 percent increase over the past decade. The millennial generation's earnings see few raises and start out much lower than their parents' at the same age. American Progress found many 30-year-olds today make the same wage as 30-year-olds in 1984, even though they have more education and 70 percent higher productivity. New technology, such as the Internet of Things, may help improve efficiency and bring down costs for companies prepared for the future.
What's Limiting Productivity Gains?
Cutting edge technology gets its start in a few select industries rather than spreading evenly across the business landscape. Some areas, such as manufacturing, get a disproportionate amount of productivity improvements while the rest of the market lags behind. Corporations attempt to gain competitive advantage by deploying the latest and greatest solutions, which requires high-skill talent from engineers, programmers, software developers and other STEM workers. The industry demand for these skill sets leaves limited resources for other markets, even though these areas may achieve greater benefits from the same technology.
The Future of the Service Sector
High-tech companies see small incremental improvements in productivity because they already have a strong digital foundation in place. People-centric sectors, such as the service industry, hold the greater potential for spurring the digital revolution and improving wage growth for more significant numbers of workers. Many work processes for service-based businesses require manual human input, such as taking orders, teaching classes and diagnosing illness. A digital transformation impacting these job duties could substantially improve the output created in many sectors and reduce the cost for consumers.
Integrated systems reduce the time needed to manage inventory, order products, create schedules and pull up customer information. Retail workers get to focus on helping the clients and creating a personalized experience, rather than spending hours in the store after close catching up on essential job duties.
Intelligent diagnostic machines help doctors and nurses narrow down potential illnesses and provide treatment plan information. Telemedicine allows healthcare professionals to connect remotely with patients unable to make it into the office, increasing the amount of people a practice can help. Advance patient registration and check-in kiosks reduce intake times and limit how long someone waits for their appointment.
Higher Education
Professors aren't constrained by the students who can physically fit in their college classrooms when they have access to online courses. They can effectively teach courses to people all over the world, which would previously require a lot of travel time and multiple professors. An online portal contains the information students need to succeed in their classes, and advanced analytics identify useful resources customized to each person.
The common theme for effective digital transformation revolves around letting one person efficiently do the work of many. Technological advances need to progress past manufacturing, tech, finance and a handful of other industries to achieve a real productivity revolution. By starting with the people-centric areas, wages and output improve for a larger employee demographic rather than the few sitting at the technological top.
