"Between wars the Air National Guard occupies itself rescuing civilians on the 'high seas,' which means anything beyond the range of a Coast Guard H-3 helicopter. That, depending on the weather, is around two hundred miles offshore. The wartime mission of the Air National Guard is 'to save the life of an American fighting man,' which generally means jumping behind enemy lines to extract downed pilots. When the pilots go down at sea, the PJs, as they're known, jump with scuba gear. When they go down on glaciers, they jump with crampions and ice axes. When they go down in the jungle, they jump with two hundred feet of tree-rappelling line. There is, literally, nowhere on earth a PJ can't go. 'I could climb Everest with the equipment in my locker,' one of them said."

Crampons, mebbe.
I type 'em as I see 'em.
Apparently it can also be spelled crampoon, which sounds way too silly for something that's supposed to keep you from sliding off the side of a mountain.

Well here is Miss Fish all dressed to go to the gym, modelling one of the aprons that I have been busy making.
I am going to put them on the internet to sell.
They are quite easy to make the main body of the apron is a teatowel and I add to rather large pockets.
I do love an apron with a pocket, when I was a child is was for your hankie. Nowadays you would probably put your iphone in it. lol
I have also been sewing hundreds of 2 1/2 " squares cut from my scrap basket, together. This is for another quilt top. For a pattern called Nana's garden.
Miss Fish keeps looking at the little squares and admiring them even though she has 2 quilt already, made for her by her Nana, my Mum.
When this quilt is finished I might see if she would like. it.
Well back to the sewing machine while I am captured in the house today - no car it is around at the mechanics because somehow all the brake lights have failed, and as I was injured in last years big bang I don't wish another bang by someone not paying attention while driving and hitting me up the rear.
So till tomorrow happy sewing or cooking or eating or resting or whatever you are doing.

The investigation into the background and possible additional crimes of former Youth pastor Joshua Ponder spread to his former church. Prior to his arrest for the sexual assault of a teenager, Ponder was a youth pastor at the First Baptist Church of Palestine from June 2001 to May 2007.
The Rev. Jay Abernathy, pastor of First Baptist Church of Palestine, was notified of Ponder's arrest late last week and said the church would cooperate with police in the investigation, if asked.
"We are shocked and saddened by this incident, and are praying for everyone involved," Abernathy said Monday afternoon. "We have made counselors available to our youth and families who may be hurting and will be available to anyone in our church and community who wants to talk.
"We are working to respond to everyone hurt by this."
The police will talk to every young person Ponder came into contact with while a youth pastor in Palestine. The conversations will be intrusive and embarrassing. This is how atheists are born. For atheist born of pastoral misconduct, it comes with a profound loss of faith when one learns that a person they trusted with their closest secrets are capable of apocryphal leadership and morally corrupt levels of sexual violence. Joshua Ponder's crime will touch dozens of young lives. Are there really people out there in Texas who think the small good Ponder accomplished as a youth pastor offset this level of violence and intrusion?

You could have to manage numerous types of pests within your property. The different types of pests might have different elements that give rise to the growth of an infestation in your home. Nonetheless, one thing is for sure - no one wants to manage an infestation in their home so pest removal services can be needed. Pests are absolutely a nuisance and a health hazard. It would get even worse when they start to multiple and cause damage to your home. Rats will continue to infest the food in your own home and they'd occasionally eat up your clothes and other materials. Fleas, on the other hand, would cause some health issues to you and your pets that might even result to death. To manage this kind of situation, we can give you some pest control solutions that might help remove these pests for good.
"Thank you for the speedy response and taking care of our pests! Gives me great peace of mind." Evangeline B. Goodyear
"Once my daughter started pointing out multiple pests in her room I knew we had a problem. Thank you for helping us!" Floyd M. Goodyear
"So happy our whole family doesn't have anything else to worry about when it comes to pests. Fast, friendly service." Jerrold S. Goodyear

I have been self-employed for many years, so I don't have a regular work schedule. I am now working part-time at a tax office, but I am able to pick my own hours.
I was looking over my appointments for the week, and I am also starting to keep track of how much time I spend walking or exercising. I want to track the number of hours per week that I do these activities, and a thought came up. Do I start with Sunday or Monday?
In the past, I had some calendars that started the week with Monday and I was always putting the appointments on the wrong day, because I didn't look at the date at the top of the square, I just looked at the squares to figure where the day was. But the days were in the wrong place.
So, I say Sunday is the beginning of the week, but someone that only has Sat and Sun off work, probably says Monday starts the week.
Ok, so this may be a wierd way of thinking about things, but thats how I am. After all, I am living in "Teri World".

Awards : Hall of Fame Award
John Clarkson, M.D. '68
John G. Clarkson, M.D. '68, dean emeritus and professor of ophthalmology, University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine, was director of UM's nationally acclaimed Bascom Palmer Eye Institute and chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology before becoming dean in November 1995. Dr. Clarkson is also the Executive Director of the Board of Ophthalmology. During his tenure as dean he recruited significant research and academic talent to the University and presided over hefty annual growth in the research enterprise. He transformed the medical campus, creating the Schoninger Research Quadrangle and guiding the completion of the Batchelor Children's Research Institute and the Lois Pope LIFE Center for neuroscience research. Construction of a clinical research building and wellness center was recently completed, and the School is moving forward on development of a multispecialty practice building and hospital, and a laboratory building.
Dr. Clarkson led the planning, development and implementation of the School's largest capital campaign ever, highlighted by last December's announcement of a historic $100 million gift from the family of the late Miami developer Leonard M. Miller. The medical school was named in Miller's honor. In addition to Bascom Palmer, internationally known centers of excellence that have grown significantly under Clarkson's leadership include the Diabetes Research Institute, the UM/Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, and the Center for Research in Medical Education. In recent years he directed the creation of the Dr. John T. Macdonald Foundation Center for Medical Genetics and the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital Center for Patient Safety.
The faculty medical practice, University of Miami Medical Group, became a consolidated, competitive clinical operation under the dean's leadership, with new focus on improved access and customer service. Clarkson was also been responsible for strengthening the School's critical relationship with its primary hospital partner, Jackson Memorial, which provides world-class care to all who need it in Miami-Dade County. He serves as a member of the county's Public Health Trust, which governs Jackson.
Dr. Clarkson worked in many other ways to raise the School's profile as a community partner, as a leader of the Mayor's Healthcare Task Force and several community boards. Clarkson also presided over the redesign of the medical curriculum, a growing emphasis on the recruitment of out-of-state medical students to raise the School's national stature, and the new partnership with Florida Atlantic University. Through that partnership, a group of UM medical students is taking the first two years of classes at FAU's Boca Raton campus.
A graduate of Princeton University, Dr. Clarkson earned his medical degree from the University of Miami School of Medicine in 1968. He completed his internship training at University Hospital in Boston and returned to the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center for residency training in ophthalmology. He also completed fellowship training at Johns Hopkins University in both ophthalmic pathology and retinal and vitreous surgery.
Originally from Grove City, Pennsylvania, Dr. Clarkson moved to West Palm Beach in 1954. He and his wife, the former Diana Teasdale, both graduated from Palm Beach High School.

Putting the Spotlight firmly on BAME Women, Past, Present and Future
The Baton Awards – Sportswoman of the Year Award 2018 – Winner: Nazia Khatun
The Baton Awards
'The Baton Awards is a wonderful moment to recognise genuine and consistent commitment from individuals who are fighting to build a stronger more generous society. I was thrilled to discover the Baton Awards and honoured to get involved in enabling better recognition of people's character as well as BAME activity and in my own small way, to add to someone's compelling effort, my humble respect and appreciation." Lord Hastings of Scarisbrick CBE
The Baton Awards is the leading platform for recognising BAME FEMALE PIONEERS in Britain. The prestigious Awards both acknowledge Britain's BAME pathfinders and celebrate the future pioneers of tomorrow across diverse sectors at The House of Lords.
2018 was set to be 'The year of the woman'. From jubilant celebrations to mark a centenary of the women's vote and worldwide women's marches to mark a year since Donald Trump entered The White House with two dozen sexual assault allegations hanging over his head and the subsequent #MeToo movement picking up global momentum.
The thing is, one year was never going to be enough time to action real change.All too often, we are made to feel as though we are approaching equality and recognition via dedicated days, awareness campaigns and new buzzwords only for everything to go back to being a man's world again immediately after.
For BAME women, the journey is even harder as they battle a constant 'double disadvantage' in all areas of living in modern Britain.
The tide of progress is a slow process but it is achievable when we stand together and push hard enough. The pay gap is taking forever to close and violence against women and girls is still just as prevalent… there's so much more to be done, especially if you are one of the 29, 365,79 BAME women in the U.K still banging your head on the same glass ceiling. This is where The Baton Awards 2019 comes in.
The Racism Ruins Lives study has recently found that a majority of black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) workers have experienced racial harassment at work in the last five years or believe they have been treated unfairly by their employer because of their race. In 2019, BAME women are still living, learning and negotiating their lives in an increasingly complex and challenging environment that discriminates against them every day. This has left a huge need for BAME womento be encouraged, acknowledged and celebrated.
The Baton Awards 2019 is so much more than just a glitzy evening. The awards have been carefully planned to fall firmly on the International Day Of Women Human Rights Defenders, and within the 16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence; the international awareness campaign aimed at businesses that lack an infrastructure to deal with the large-scale problem that is domestic abuse.
Devised by award-winning global female empowerment ambassador Dr Diahanne Rhiney BCAe, The Baton Awards 2019 has already garnered interest from all over the world due to its uniqueness in delivering not only inspiration and empowerment on the night, but ongoing support thereafter. Winners receive their Baton Award at The House of Lords from one of the pioneering predecessors (Torchbearers) in the field they have succeeded in, in an unprecedented gesture of progress, legacy and sisterhood. What sets The Baton Awards apart is the opportunity for winners to receive guidance, advice, support, PR and webinar training in the months after the awards. This is our long-term commitment to BAME women as we seek to affirmatively create real change for our powerful, talented and highly driven BAME female community.
In our efforts to support BAME women and girls at a grassroots level, proceeds raised at The Baton Awards will go to Domestic Abuse registered charity Strength With In Me Foundation (S.W.I.M); a non-profit organization, providing comprehensive education and empowerment in response to the prevalence of Domestic Abuse among young girls and women, shining a spotlight on the 15% that comprises BAME victims. Their mission is to reduce the incidence and minimise the impact of Domestic Abuse by teaching young people how to identify effectively toxic relationships via effective workshop programmes, events and services.
Last year, The Baton Awards team were honoured to raise more than £1800 for this cause which is directly invested in the empowerment of the next generation.

During Form time, all students participate in a range of learning activities which are meticulously planned to meet their needs. At West Hatch we believe in developing the spiritual, moral, social and emotional aspects of our students as well as their academic achievement. Therefore through weekly PSHEC lessons, our students are given the opportunity to discuss a range of issues facing young people in today's society. Students also work on literacy and numeracy skills within Form time and regularly participate in mentoring activities.Read More
At the heart of our House system are the regular competitions which all students are afforded the opportunity to participate in and win points for their Form group and their House. Throughout the year every department runs a competition which are either for separate year groups or a combination of pupils from all years. Our Inter House competitions have brought a fresh dimension to the school and have developed a greater sense of community across the school.Read More
Our five Houses are based in specific areas of the school and each has been named after a famous British icon associated with that subject area. Below you can see the House points achieved by the students in each House to date.

A lovely relaxed wedding and in the beautiful setting of South Lodge, Horsham. Cat & Dale are a fab couple finally deciding to tie the knot in style! Not only that, it was a December wedding, just a couple of weeks before Xmas, so a wonderful atmosphere too. Lots of Xmas trees, lights and decorations to give it that wonderfully happy feel.
For the girls, getting ready was a real hive of activity. Makeup and hair was handled very professionally. Hair by Laura Fowels and makeup by Kate Simpson.
The boys were all pretty relaxed and so we had a fun photo shoot out front, making handy use of the helicopter which had 'parked' outside the entrance!
There was a slight panic when Dale was told that his dog was locked inside his house. The dog sitter couldn't get in – so suddenly the boys all had to concentrate to find a solution. Not easy the day after the night before..
The reception theme was Game of Thrones, done brilliantly by Jamie and his florist wife Charlotte Penfold. That really added something special to the atmosphere, with great speeches and presentations by both the boys and the girls.
A brilliant day and evening – one to remember.

Skillet Chicken with Mexican Green Rice
By á-30663
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1 1/2 to 2 pounds)
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 poblano peppers, cored, seeded, and chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 (10 oz.) cans green enchilada sauce (I recommend mild for those who don't want much heat)
- 1 1/2 cups long grain white rice
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach leaves
Adapted from melskitchencafe.com
Step 1
Gently pat the chicken dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. In a large (12-inch) skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until it is rippling and hot. Brown the chicken on each side for 1-2 minutes until it is golden but not cooked all the way through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
In the hot skillet, add the onion and poblano peppers and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are softened, stirring occasionally. Stir in the garlic and cumin and cook for 30 seconds. Add the enchilada sauce, rice and water, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil and set the chicken breasts in the simmering rice mixture, nestling them in a bit. Cover the skillet, set the heat to low and cook for about 15-20 minutes, until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed and the chicken is cooked through, stirring every five minutes or so to ensure the rice isn't sticking to the bottom.
Stir in the cilantro and spinach and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve.

Today, Auditronix announced the launch of its new educational initiative for the audit and financial professionals on an open platform. Educational resources and examinations will be made available at no cost to the audit community.
Massive open online course commonly known as MOOC's are a recent development in distance education using open educational resources. They are comparable to college courses, but do not offer academic credit. Other forms of assessment or certification may be available including those based on Learning analytic's for online environments.
Auditronix is launched with the Massive Online Open Tests and the first beta was released for Anti Money Laundering Certifications.From the website it looks like that apart from the professional learning needs of the audit community, Auditronix portal will also address the needs of entry level students looking to enter CA or CS professional courses.
Open Courses carry good value in future. As it is said and is well said that "Technology takes the credit no matter how you try to invent it, but willingness of school depends on MOOC's to sustain or cease in front of it." So the way few years the living legend Mr. Bill Gates had said if you are not on Web your business would be thrown out by 2000, similarly if your school college university institution etc is not in MOOC's you would be thrown out of the business.
In an interview, "Open courses are the programs where you don't need to attend the classes and pay the fees for gaining the knowledge on the subjects. You are not even required to pay the money for the open course examinations. " says Rajendra Kumar, Director of Auditrnoix.
He added that "Educational institutions will be benefited from the projects like Auditronix as it reach out to masses and this will bring more international exposure in education". Rajendra adds.
"In our infrastructure, Auditronix issue the certificates on the various subjects and there is a small fee payable after you get yourself certified. In order to get the industry recognised Certifications, the students need to enroll themselves with the accrediting agencies like Colleges or Universities"
"This is just the beginning and we have launched the first beta with AML programs. In the days to come there will be lot of action and many more companies and universities are likely to join us soon." Rajendra concludes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Resources > Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is an Ombudsman or a Complaints Commissioner?
A. An Ombudsman or Complaints Commissioner is someone authorized to receive and investigate citizen complaints against government agencies. The word "Ombudsman" is a Swedish word meaning "agent", "representative, or "deputy". The modern concept was started in Sweden in 1809 to create a balance between the powers of Government and its citizenry. An Ombudsman or Complaints Commissioner is responsible for investigating and resolving complaints from members of the public against a public authority or institution and he or she can make recommendations to bring about a fair settlement.
Q. What exactly does a Complaints Commissioner do?
A. Complaints Commissioner receives complaints from members of the public about Government agencies (officials, departments or statutory bodies), investigates the complaints and, if he finds them to be justified, (if he finds maladministration), he writes a report on each with recommendations to the relevant government agency.
Q. Who can complain?
A. Anyone – and that includes a group of persons or a corporation - who has contact with a government agency about anything and feels that the agency treated them improperly or unfairly. All residents or temporary residents within the Virgin Islands are covered. No fee is charged.
Q. What is maladministration?
A. Maladministration is the name given to a whole variety of failures by public officials in handling a citizen's dealings with the state. It could be any of the following listed examples but may also include others not listed.
List of Topics of Maladministration
- Unreasonable delay in dealing with any requests or application
- Abuse of power or authority
- Flawed Procedures
- Failing to give reasons for decisions
- Discourtesy, rudeness
- Lack of consideration for a person affected by any action
- Acting with bias, unfairness, neglect
- Incompetence
- Arbitrariness
- Failing to follow through on commitments made
- Making decisions based wholly or partly on a Mistake of law or fact
Q. What are some examples of complaints that might be put to the Commissioner?
A. A person can complain that they had been treated unfairly or improperly discriminated against; for example, they had been denied a benefit that others in the same position got, for no good reason. A complaint might be that a government officer had kept a member of the public waiting much too long for an important response; or that the officer had been rude, or unreasonable, or had made a mistake. One should always first try to have his/her grievance resolved by the department or agency that caused it, complaining to chief officer and giving that agency the opportunity to put matters right. If the agency does not handle the complaint professionally then that failure may be included in the complaint to the Commissioner later.
Q. Under what authority does the Commissioner operate?
A. The Constitution is the main authority; it establishes the position or office of Commissioner and states its independence. The Complaints Commissioner Act 2003 sets out the detail of what the Commissioner can do and must do.
Q. Exactly how much authority does the Complaints Commissioner have?
A. The Commissioner's powers to investigate are very broad. He or she has the power to enter and inspect the premises of any department of Government or public authority; to call for, examine, make copies of and, where necessary retain any document kept on such premises; and there carry out any investigation in pursuance of his or her function. Obstructing the Commissioner or his or her staff in doing this function is a crime. The Commissioner does not, however, have the authority to enforce his or her recommendations.
Q. How does one complain?
A. Complaints must usually be made in writing addressed to the Commissioner. Writing includes sending by email, and via our website www.ombudsman.vg from which one can upload a complaint registration form directly. We also supply forms by email or at the office. On the sister islands there are printed forms at the District Offices or at the Post Office.
Q. So if the Commissioner does not get a written complaint, is he or she unable to act?
A. The Commissioner can begin to act on complaints made over the telephone providing the person complaining does come in soon and sign a document setting out the complaint or sends such a document electronically or in the post. The Commissioner can also investigate a matter that comes to his attention if it appears to him that some person or group may have suffered an injustice as a result of wrong Government action.
Q. Can a person complain about anything at all that the Government does that affects them?
A. Yes, but the Commissioner cannot investigate every complaint that he receives. He cannot investigate proceedings or deliberations of the House of Assembly or the Cabinet, nor any actions of any judge, magistrate or any court; nor can he look into the exercise of constitutional duties by the Attorney General, the Auditor General, and the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Q. Are there any other exceptions or restrictions?
A. Yes. If the complaint concerns a Government policy made by the Cabinet or a Minister, the Commissioner cannot look into the policy. He also is not allowed to investigate a matter in which, in general, the complainant can get a civil remedy in court, or can get a remedy by appealing to some other body set up for the purpose. For example, under the Physical Planning Act 2004 there is an appeal body to which one can appeal against decisions of the Development Control Authority. In the Immigration Act there is an appeal provided to the Governor against a deportation order. There are several other such provisions in various laws. Someone who has a grievance in those cases cannot bypass those bodies and go direct to the Complaints Commissioner. Or rather, the law prevents the Commissioner from investigating any such complaint where the complainant has not used the appeal avenue provided.
Employment matters within Government or a public body would also not come within the Commissioner's authority, nor would action taken by the proper authorities to investigate crime or protect national security.
Q. If a complaint is made in writing and it is within those matters that the Commissioner is permitted to investigate, is he bound to investigate?
A. Not necessarily. The Commissioner is not bound to investigate a complaint that is very old (over one year) or one he thinks is frivolous or mischievous or trivial. If the complaint is anonymous or the Commissioner cannot establish who made it, he can also decide not to proceed. If he decides not to investigate for any reason he tells the complainant why, in writing.
Q. How will the Commissioner carry out an investigation?
A. In the usual manner, by asking questions, taking statements, reviewing documents – in short, by taking any action that can help to get all the facts or the truth of the matter. The law gives the Commissioner power, if he finds it necessary in any case; to summon persons to appear before him to give evidence and produce documents so as to make sure that his investigation is effective. There are exceptions to this power. The Governor cannot be compelled to appear, nor can a Minister of Government. There is also no power to compel any witness to produce Cabinet papers. Otherwise the power to investigate is quite wide and strong.
Q. How long will investigations take?
A. There is no simple answer. The length of time will depend on the particular matter, on the number of complaints with which the Commissioner is dealing at the time and other factors. The aim will be to complete each investigation as quickly as possible, usually within 3 months of receiving it.
Q. What happens after an investigation is concluded?
A. The Commissioner will write his findings and opinion; he will inform both the complainant and the head of the Government agency involved. If he recommends action to remedy an injustice he will send a copy of the report to the Governor and every member of Cabinet. If the complaint is found to be without substance, then he will so inform the complainant and the agency complained about, giving his reasons.
Q. Suppose the Government agency concerned ignores the recommendation. What happens then?
A. The Commissioner must then have a special report on the matter laid on the table at the House of Assembly, thereby also making it public. There, his authority ends.
Q. Exactly how much authority does the Complaints Commissioner (Ombudsman) have?
A. The Commissioner's powers are very broad. The Commissioner has the powers of the High Court to summon witnesses to appear before him an to compel them to give evidence on oath and to product documents relevant to any matter under investigation. The Commissioner also has the power to enter and inspect the premises of any department of Government or public authority, to call for, examine, make copies of and, where necessary retain any document kept on such premises and there carry out any investigation in pursuance of his function.
Q. What if I am not pleased with your services at the Complaints Commission?
A. If you wish to complain about the manner in which we dealt with your complaint (for example, if you feel that you have not been treated reasonably or fairly) or about any member of staff, please call or write to the Complaints Commissioner. If you are not satisfied with the result, please write directly to:
His Excellency the Governor
Governor's Office
PO Box 702, Road Town
TORTOLA Vg1110
You may also complain to the Premier and the Leader of the Opposition. We will provide a form at our offices that will make it easy for you to do this, or you may click here to first submit your complaint to the Complaints Commissioner.

Generally-accepted in some circles, perhaps, but I'd suggest it's by no means a universal standard - for beginners especially, my experience is that the system packages are seen as the safe option. My sample size is small, but I find that most people use system Perl, and the same applies to Python, node.js and bash. > > So who suffers if a newer Perl breaks stuff? People who don't follow the wisdom? They can learn why it's a widely used pattern. Sysadmins who have scripts they want to "just work" on newer OSes? They're sysadmins... I expect them to be able to install their own Perl and use it if they need to. Newbies? They aren't using experimental features anyway. Proliferation of Perls aside... I don't think that last one is a fair assessment of the impact: - if it's an old perl, this is *not* an experimental feature (as mentioned a few times elsewhere). - we were recommending given/when and smartmatch in the FAQ until very recently. - in my experience, "how do I check for a value in array" and "how do I spell switch/case in Perl" seem to be common questions for Perl newcomers which end(ed) up with a smartmatch-related answer. "Very recently" includes Perl 5.26.1, which *explicitly recommends* given/when in the current text: http://perldoc.perl.org/perlfaq7.html#How-do-I-create-a-switch-or-case-statement%3f Note that it does mention Switch.pm as being discouraged... yet makes no mention of impending changes in newer Perl versions. I think this can be taken as an authoritative learning source for Perl programmers - it seems premature to change the feature when the officially-sanctioned examples will break? The standard recommendation for new features - e.g. async/await, which I am very much looking forward to - seems to be "do it in CPAN, and if it's popular or important enough, we can consider moving it to core". How feasible would that approach be for either smartmatch, or some form of switch/case? (I'm not convinced that the two concepts need to be so tightly integrated as they have been so far - not that I'm a target user, I don't see much value in either of them in the first place for the code I tend to write). Just to be clear, I don't agree with the stronger negative opinions either: from my perspective the new smartmatch approach seems like a significant improvement, and if we'd started with this I think it'd be a great addition to the language. thanks, TomThread Previous | Thread Next

Today's artists are using digital devices rather than paint and easels. Alvin Thomas checks some of them out.
The Adobe Ink and Slide is Adobe's first and only actual piece of hardware. The tablet-shaped device is a blessing for graphic designers and animators. The stylus is pressure-sensitive, with harder strokes producing thicker and darker virtual paint marks. There's also a ruler that takes care of straight lines, circles and other shapes. But most importantly, the device is compatible with Adobe's Creative Cloud, where you can save all your work and preferences. Available at amazon.com from RO40.7.
Is it a brush? Is it a pen? We can never be too sure. While the Sensu Artist Brush and Stylus may look just like what a painter may use, the device offers a lot of possibilities with its high-responsive, built-in "brush". The device can be used on a standard device, such as an iPad or an iPhone, to create some mind-boggling designs. It has been well-received by graphic designers worldwide and is a step ahead of other devices in terms of user-friendliness and design. Yours for RO17.8 from amazon.com.
Sketching images on real canvases is so yesterday. Instead, why don't you keep up with the times and get yourself a Microsoft Surface Pro 4? Its 30cm touchscreen is absolutely fantastic and a dream for most graphic designers. There's also a Surface Pen for doodling on the screen. It weighs a mere 786g, so carrying it around in your bag won't be a problem. Apart from that you can also get the Pro 4 with an Intel i7 processor and 16GB of RAM. Yours for a steep RO1,120.4 from Microsoft.com.
Tired of using your mouse to sketch on your computer? Well, look no further. The Wacom Intuos Pen and Touch Small Tablet lets you doodle using a pressure-sensitive stylus on a 22cm by 18cm pressure pad. It is compatible with software such as Autodesk Sketchbook Express and ArtRage Studio. You can also use your fingers to navigate, scroll and zoom your artwork with multi-touch gestures. Importantly, the device can be connected to either a Mac or PC. Yours for RO24.8 from amazon.com.
Who says artists should have all the fun? This Wacom Bamboo Fineline 2 stylus is perfect for writers. Sure, you could use this for drawing on devices such as the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 or your iPad, but with its sleek design and pressure-sensitive tip, it's more aligned for calligraphy writers who prefer using their smartphones and tablets, as opposed to paper and ink. Yours for RO30.5 from wacom.com.
Editor's Pick:
Wacom is the sort of company that loves answering the prayers of its users. So when it revealed the Wacom Cintiq 27 QHD earlier this year, graphic designers and animators gathered en masse in front of stores to get hold of the new device. As the name suggests, the Cintiq comes with a generous 68cm QHD resolution and anti-glare screen. Artists can sketch, paint, design and edit directly, and Wacom's advanced pressure and tilt-sensitive pen technology replicates the natural effects and experience of working with conventional tools such as pens, markers, and brushes. There are also time-saving Express Keys, a Scroll Ring and Radial menus to give you customisable one-touch shortcuts. Yours for a whopping RO693.1 from amazon.com.
App of the Week:
It may not have the feature-set of Adobe Photoshop CC, but Sketchbook by Autodesk is certainly the best sketching application for budding artists. If you buy the app you will get more than 100 artist brushes, accessibility to gradients and curves, and even layers, for those intricate drawings. Download the app at itunes.com for RO1.9.
Yes, the Samsung Note 7 has been recalled worldwide due to possible battery leakage, which could lead to overheating and, in rare cases, explosions. However, the Note 7 is still one of the best devices for the artist on the move. Its 14cm screen makes way for a great workspace and the companion S Pen is craftier than ever. This, coupled with Samsung's great software and 4 gigs of RAM, make way for some superlative graphical design capabilities. If you're in the mood for doodling on images, there's a brilliant 12-megapixel camera, too. This is the ideal gadget for designers; if you can forgive the steep price tag of RO350, that is.

|馬太福音 26章7節 到 26章7節 上一筆 下一筆
{An alabaster cruse of exceeding precious ointment} (alabastron murou barutimou). The flask was of alabaster, a carbonate of lime or sulphate of lime, white or yellow stone, named alabaster from the town in Egypt where it was chiefly found. It was used for a phial employed for precious ointments in ancient writers, inscriptions and papyri just as we speak of a glass for the vessel made of glass. It had a cylindrical form at the top, as a rule, like a closed rosebud (Pliny). Matthew does not say what the ointment (murou) was, only saying that it was "exceeding precious" (arutimou), of weighty value, selling at a great price. Here only in the N.T. "An alabaster of nard (murou) was a present for a king" (Bruce). It was one of five presents sent by Cambyses to the King of Ethiopia (Herodotus, iii. 20). {She poured it upon his head} (katecheen epi t(8873) kephal(8873) autou). So Mark ( Mr 14:3 ), while John ( Joh 12:3 ) says that she "anointed the feet of Jesus." Why not both? The verb katecheen is literally to pour down. It is the first aorist active indicative, unusual form.

Washington, Sep 25 (IANS) US Vice President Mike Pence is set to visit NASA's Marshall Space Flight Centre in Alabama on Monday which is building the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket along with the other technologies and systems needed to send astronauts into deep space.
The visit will give Pence an update on the progress of the SLS rocket and International Space Station science operations as the agency prepares for missions to deep space, around the Moon and ultimately to Mars, NASA said in a statement on Sunday.
NASA has set its goal of sending humans to the Red Planet in the 2030s.
"The Vice President will tour Marshall's Payload Operations Integration Centre, where all scientific research aboard the station is managed around-the-clock, 365 days a year. This research is helping people learn how to live and work in space for long periods," the US space agency added.
The Vice President will see a test with the engine section of the SLS core stage – the largest rocket stage ever built for the world's most powerful rocket.
The four RS-25 engines and the two solid rocket boosters that attach to the engine section will produce more than eight million pounds of thrust to help send the Orion crew vehicle farther than any human-rated spacecraft has ever traveled before.
While at Redstone Arsenal, where Marshall is located, Pence will visit the US Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Centre for briefs from Army leaders on current missile defence projects and Army initiatives, the statement added.

The Securities and Exchange Commission Investor Advisory Committee held a public meeting regarding blockchain and distributed ledger technology earlier this month, and one of the individuals who was invited to participate in the meeting was Chain CEO Adam Ludwin. During his opening remarks, Ludwin shared his perspective on the entire blockchain ecosystem (both public and private models), but the most compelling part of his appearance may have been when he shared his views on the current price mania around cryptocurrencies and initial coin offerings (ICO).
"I think you have to look at it from the perspective of the buyer and the seller mentality," Ludwin said of the current digital asset market. "In essence, it is currently rational to be irrational as a buyer [or] a seller in this market."
If you're not aware, more than $3 billion has been raised through ICOs since the beginning of 2017 (according to Coinschedule). For those who don't know the first thing about ICOs, check out Laura Shin's in-depth piece about this new financial phenomenon from earlier in the year.
The Buyers of ICOs
When discussing the kinds of people who are participating in ICOs and token crowdsales during his appearance at the public meeting, Ludwin was quick to point to those who have already made large sums of cash by speculating on the prices of bitcoin and ether over the past few years.
"On the buyer side, there are many, many people who invested early in bitcoin, made a tremendous amount of money and now have, effectively, a house money effect weighing on them where it's found money — it's a windfall — and they're diversifying into every new project that comes along because: Why not?" explained Ludwin. "If you've made money, you might as well say, 'I'll keep going.'"
Ludwin also pointed to those who sat on the sidelines while bitcoin and ether went up a hundredfold or more because they didn't understand the technology as probable buyers of new digital assets.
"Now, you almost have this inverted mindset where you tell yourself, 'Alright, I have to look for things I don't understand, and the more confusing it is, the better investment it probably is,'" said Ludwin. "It's a very perverse mentality, obviously."
As The New York Times recently reported, some ICOs are also obtaining the services of celebrities like Floyd Mayweather and Paris Hilton to promote their projects to those who have no basic understanding of cryptocurrencies or blockchain technology.
The Sellers of ICOs
From Ludwin's perspective, the irrational exuberance from the buy side of the market has led to the creation of many new projects willing to meet that demand. The Chain CEO shared three reasons as to why it's extremely tempting for individuals and teams to create, issue, and sell new cryptocurrencies.
"Number one, there's no dilution (it's not equity in the traditional sense) and there's no debt — you don't have to pay it back," said Ludwin. "People are buying for the appreciation expectations. It's really free financing; it's a remarkable instrument. [Secondly], there's a belief out there that, by selling tokens, you're creating evangelists for your project and they will tell their friends [about it]. And the truth is that's probably right. People are interested in spreading the news about a new token in order for their tokens to go up in price and the sellers do have a kind of product/market fit. Of course, the thing that people are buying is a dream of making money, not interest in the underlying service usually. Finally, there's an ability now by issuing these tokens to actually exit before you start. Normally, when you build a company, the exit comes at the end (and that's why it's called the exit). Here, if you issue a token and you can clear tens of millions of dollars before your project even launches, it's an even better deal than we had in the 90s [dotcom bubble]."
The perfect example of the inability for some companies or projects to resist the urge to do their own ICO might be messaging app Kik's Kin token. According to CoinJournal, Kik CEO Ted Livingston admitted that they were essentially launching the token because they had no other way to compete with Facebook. Kik was able to raise nearly $100 million in their token distribution event — money that comes with all of the benefits mentioned by Ludwin.
Ethereum's ERC-20 token standard has also made it extremely easy for anyone to launch a new digital asset with the click of a button. BitTorrent creator Bram Cohen discussed the ease with which tokens can be launched on top of Ethereum at the Blockstack Summit earlier this year.
"A lot of what people are doing now are these like ERC-20 tokens and stuff on Ethereum for their ICOs mostly because they don't possess the skills to roll out an actual altcoin for the most part, which is not confidence inspiring," said Cohen. "As a general rule, if you don't possess the skills to roll out an altcoin, you probably shouldn't be doing an ICO."
In the past, those who wanted to launch a new, tradeable token needed to create their own blockchain from scratch and convince exchanges to take the time to add it to their platform. The ERC-20 standard has made the process of adding a new token to an exchange much simpler because many of the new tokens follow the same general structure.
Cryptocurrencies are Still Here to Stay
Although Ludwin took part of his time to address the obvious (some would call) bubble in the cryptocurrency market, he still sees a bright future for this new asset class.
"Despite what probably sounds like a bit of cynicism here on cryptocurrencies and the fact that it's obvious, I think, to every fair observer that we're witnessing a mania that will have a correction . . . you should not bet against cryptocurrencies in their long term sustainability or viability and the reality that they are a new asset class, that they're enabling a fundamentally new and important segment, and I think [they] will only increase globally in value over time," said Ludwin.
Interestingly enough, Ludwin would go on to say that the permissioned, consortium blockchains being worked on by banks may be in an even bigger bubble of sorts.
"The noise and the hype are even greater, in my opinion, around these enterprise blockchains," said Ludwin.

We were WAITING PATIENTLY to hear Mathew Knowles side of things – especially after Beyonce THREW HIM UNDER THE BUS in the Documentary/Commercial she did on HBO last month. And now Mathew is speaking . . . and he's coming out FIGHTING!!!
Here are some of the things that he said in an interview he gave with The Sun magazine:
– "It was hard for me to let her go — it was hard for both of us to let each other go. And let's be clear on that. She didn't let me go, we both let each other go. That's a big difference."
– "Fans can decide if she's better off now with Jay-Z"
And there's more. According to the Sun, Mathew Knowles has NEVER EVEN MET his grand daughter Blue Ivy!!! That's not completely true – Mathew was seen HOLDING Blue in the documentary.
This is very sad.
But MediaTakeOut.com has some EXCLUSIVE INSIDE INFO into the COMPLICATED relationship between Beyonce and her mother. Clearly SOME of the animosity betwen the two has to do with FATHER-DAUGHTER boundary issues. And SOME of it has to do with the fact that Mathew was caught CHEATING on her mother. But an insider CLOSE TO MATHEW tells us that Bey's dad thinks that JAY Z has been trying to create a RIFT between her and her father, so that he can CONTROL her career. The insider explains, "It's frustrating because Mathew knows that he's the best person to guide [Beyonce's] career. But that's not what Jay Z wants."

The Knights hockey team split a pair of gritty games and continued to hover around the .500 mark.
Thursday saw STMA make the trip to face St. Cloud Tech at the Municipal Athletic Complex. The first period saw a goal by Cody Reckard (Mitch Bourgerie, Casey Crandall). Despite being outshot 8-4 in the first 17 minutes, the Knights took a one goal lead to the second period.
Tech's Kaleb Woodman tied the game nearly five minutes into the second period (Alex Keller, Max Webb). After two periods of play, the teams remained tied 1-1. In the third period, Tyler Hayes scored the tie-breaking goal in the first minute (Kevin McDonald, Jack Kelly).
Braden Altena made it a tie game once more with a goal at the 4:54 mark (Brody Davidson). With just a couple minutes left, Reckard scored the game winning goal (Marshall Bjorlin, Brandon Hieber). The Knights took it by a 3-2 score.
Coach Jerr Johnson said the game was a really good win for the team.
"We've been trying to get over that .500 mark all year, and we got back to it," he said.
The Knights had a fast start against the Wildcats when Reckard scored the opening goal to give his team a 1-0 lead (Connor Spetz, Marshall Bjorlin). Shots were even at nine apiece after one period.
STMA gained a two goal lead on a Connor Greenwood goal in the first few minutes of the second period (Tucker Bjorlin, Logan Nelson). The Knights seemed in good shape. However, disaster struck when Spetz suffered a concussion. He did not return.
After the injury, the Wildcats took it to the Knights. Ryan Chambers broke the shutout about halfway through the period (Zak Lambrecht, Blake Lizzotte). Late in the period, CJ Haskins tied the game 2-2 (Trevor Lushanko, Brandon Gillespie).
The relentless attack saw the Wildcats outshoot the Knights 27-5 in the second period. Early in the third, the Wildcats took the lead on a Lushanko power play goal (Lambrecht, Lizotte). Mitch Bourgerie gave the Knights life with the tying goal minutes later (Connor Smith, Jack Kelly).
The Knights lost Nelson in the third period to an injury, which hurt the team further. On this night, the Wildcats proved too tough to tame. Lushanko gave Chisago Lakes the lead for good at 15:19 (Landon Lushanko).
Johnson chose to focus on the positives from the game, including the 2-0 early lead and solid goaltending.
"Our goaltender Trent Olson played fantastic. He was awesome." Olson registered 48 saves out of 52 shots on the night. STMA had been 7-0 when leading after the first period.
The Knights played Coon Rapids on Monday night. More on that game next week. The Knights welcome Monticello/Annandale/Maple Lake to town on Thursday.

I've presented at a few conferences lately on AI in financial services, particularly on how investors are using AI. I've posted here an expanded version of my slides. I provide an overview of why AI is a tool that so many people are exploring; what I think increases the odds of success for companies using AI; and specifically how we see AI being used in financial services. This is part of my research on innovation in asset management. My co-author Yordanka Ilieva recently became a Strategic Investments Associate at Nasdaq Ventures.

The Eternines were a race that originated from the Eternium.
The Eternines could possess humans, and could remain dormant in their minds, allowing their hosts normal control. In their natural form, they appeared as globes of blue-white light.
When the Eternium was on the brink of death, the Eternines managed to open a pathway between the Eternium and the mainstream universe, allowing Watchlar to pass through. They manipulated aspiring poet Jared Malahyde by posing as humanity's ultimate evolved form, tricking him into arranging for the construction of the Utopian Engine, while he believed would bring the Eternines through to the present but would actually accelerate the age of all life on Earth so that this energy could be sent through to the Sternum. Their first attempt was interrupted when the Eighth Doctor disrupted the machine so that it only aged all life on Earth forty years, and their second effort was averted when the Doctor linked the TARDIS to the Utopian Engine and used it to turn time back to before the Eternines even made contact with Malahyde.

Its simply an uphill battle you cannot win. The reason for that is very complex which would probably take 1-2 pages to fully explain. There is generally the attempt to simplify this issue by saying that pilots of one side are simply playing wrong and it's all their fault. A more challenging approach would be to ask why pilots on a certain side behave like they do. Again, generalizing statements like "they just don't want to die" and "they don't care about the objective" are misleading, add nothing to the discussion and are plain wrong. Assuming that one player base is generally different from the other is a very biased view which i can only explain by them never having flown on both sides extensively. Soooo, can you like, i don't know, post some arguments to support your assertions? Because this stinks to me more like "ive red a book of WW2 German ace and i want to fly just like him and make that style of flying the only kosher one". And if we classify the issue of certain team going for stats instead of objectives, then there is plenty of arguments and evidence that this is happening at least to SOME extent. Where the real discussion needs to take place is if this is actually contributing to the overall suck of the axis ground game or is merely inconsequential phenomena that can be ignored. I started my TAW in axis. And i came across an attitude of "if it flies under 2-3 km, i am not touching it". Whenever i went in low, to save 110''s behind, i found myself quickly surrounded by 3-4 reds while there is happy flight of German contrails over the objective. After a while, it got old and i just started to play reds. Allied attitude in TAW is this: We will fight on the beaches, we will fight in space, we will fight over our tanks or theirs, we shall never surrender. Whatever the cost. While Axis attitude is: if its under 2km, i don't care even if it bombed Berlin. Edited June 17, 2018 by CptSiddy 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The main variations between personal loans and secured personal loans area unit that a private loan is used for several completely different functions whereas a secured automotive loan is for the aim of buying a vehicle.
The other main distinction is that with a secured personal loan, the loaner features a money interest over the vehicle being purchased by taking an encumbrance over that automotive that will be shown on a public register.
Due to the actual fact the loaner features a money interest over the vehicle, a secured personal loan is deemed a lower risk lend, as if the loan is in default, the loaner has right to repossess the vehicle, giving some security, however with a private loan, in most cases would be unsecured, so if the loan was in default, the loaner will solely chase the recipient for its outstanding debt.
As a secured personal loan is lower risk for the lenders, this usually may result in a very considerably reduced rate for the recipient and occasionally will save vital interest prices over the term of their loan.
As they use the vehicle as security over the loan, loaning criteria will usually be plenty easier to get a secured personal loan as opposition a private loan and there could also be choices to scale back the lenders risk any on a secured personal loan, by requesting deposit to scale back the number supported against the safety, therefore if the loaner was to repossess and sell the automotive, they might recoup all their prices while not having any deficit quantity.
However, with an unsecured loan, if you ever wished to sell what you bought together with your consumer loan, you'd not got to pay out the loan as a part of the sale in contrast to a secured personal loan. this may typically leave you in a very position wherever the sale value of the automotive is a smaller amount than the payout on your loan, normally referred to as "negative equity". you'd not have this downside with Associate in Nursing unsecured consumer loan.
There might not be as several choices for private loans as there area unit for secured automotive loans with brokers, therefore attempting to put you with the proper loaner that you just would work their criteria, might prove tougher and if you were to approach a loaner yourself, you will be taking a punt on whether or not they would approve you supported their loaning criteria for private loans.
In most cases it might be cheaper to require a secured personal loan, however not all told cases, therefore it's counseled to talk to knowledgeable to help together with your deciding, so you'll weigh up all of your choices.

Treasure none
The hookfang is primarily an ambush predator; it swims quickly, but only in brief bursts. When hunting, it covers most of its body under the sands of the ocean floor and remains perfectly still until potential prey swims nearby.
When it lunges, its bite is so quick and powerful that its hook-teeth can cut targeted creatures in half.
A smaller (but still sizable) variant of the hookfang is the vampire worm, which drains blood from its victims.

A DIY juice cleanse is a great way to flush toxins out of your system and also get more vitamins and minerals. We all love food, and most of us can't keep away from fast food and processed snacks. If this sounds familiar, then you too need to reboot your system. All that unhealthy food can't be good for your system, don't you think? Are you low on energy, often waking up already tired? This might be connected to your diet. Let's talk some more about what a DIY juice cleanse is. Also check out our delicious, cheap juice cleanse recipes.
What Is a Juice Cleanse?
A DIY juice cleanse is a detox program in which you will only be drinking and "eating" fruits and vegetables juices. It may last for a few days (generally three) but some do it for a couple of weeks. We don't recommend staying on it for more than a few days. Solid foods are important for our system as well. While it's usually all about consuming juice, if you feel the need to eat something, do it. Don't torture yourself and don't jeopardize your health.
Some Juice Cleanse Benefits
What's all this fuss with juice cleanses anyway? Many people reported an increased level of energy and clearer thinking after trying out juicing. And for good reason. You'll basically treat your body with ridiculous amounts of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that you're probably low on. No wonder people who have tried juice cleanses wake up fresh in the morning. More energy means you'll also be eager to start working out. This, too, will only benefit your overall health.
It's not just about charging your batteries and fighting lethargy. Many have also cited that they even lost a pound or two. More, actually. But I'll be putting that weight back on when I start eating solids again, you might say. You may, we can't disagree, but a juice cleanse may act as an eye-opener. After juicing for a couple of days, you may start making changes to your diet. Many have come to realize the importance of natural organic foods, and have successfully turned towards healthier eating habits.
Many stay away from it because it can cost a small fortune. But we're not here to suggest a store-bought detox product. If you have a juicer or you can borrow one, you're already halfway towards your cleanse. A DIY Juice cleanse makes use of vegetables, fruits, and a juicer. Quite cheap, you see.
During these couple of days, you'll be sweating and urinating a lot. Consequently, don't forget to drink water. You need it as you'll get dehydrated because of all the sweating and urinating. Don't rely only on juicing to provide you with the necessary liquids.
Pre-Cleanse Guidelines
One week before your DIY juice cleanse, we recommend you reduce your intake of:
• Meat.
• Sugar.
• Processed foods.
• Dairy.
• Wheat.
• Gluten.
• Legumes.
• Grains.
• Alcohol.
• Caffeine.
• Nicotine.
Now, 24 to 48 hours before the big day, you should consume raw foods only. We recommend eating raw fruits and vegetables as a way to prepare your digestive system. Since you'll be going on a juice fast for a few days, you need to stay away from solid fibrous foods. If you can't consume raw foods, then you can consume vegetable broth or steam some non-starchy vegetables. Broccoli, cauliflower, and asparagus are always a good idea. You can drink filtered water, coconut water, lemon water, herbal teas, and fresh juices.
5 DIY Juice Cleanse Recipes You'll Love
If you have made it this far, it means you are quite serious about trying a juice cleanse. We salute your decision, and we'll try to provide you with the most nutritious and tasty juices to try during your detox. Of course, you can try all the combinations you like. If you feel like adding your favorite vegetable or fruit to any of these recipes, do it. The only thing to remember is to include both fruits and vegetables. Fruits are full of sugar, which is why you can't rely on them only. Vegetables are always the healthier food there is.
1. Celery, apple, romaine leaves
- 5 ribs of celery.
- 3 romaine leaves.
- 1 cucumber.
- 1 green apple (large).
- 1 handful of spinach.
- 1 cup of kale.
- 1 ounce of lemon juice.
Place all ingredients in the juicer, except for the lemon juice. Add it afterward.
2. Carrots, apple, ginger
- 5 carrots (large).
- 1 green apple (large).
- 2 beets.
- Half an ounce of lemon juice.
- One and a half tablespoons of ginger.
Again, place all ingredients except for the lemon juice in the juicer. Add the lemon juice afterward.
3. Almonds and cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
- 3 ounces of unsalted almonds.
- 1 tablespoon of agave nectar.
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- 12 ounces of filtered water.
Put the nuts in a bowl, cover them with water, and leave them to soak overnight. You can also do this in the morning and leave them to hydrate for about eight hours. Afterward, place them in the juicer and slowly pour water through. You may have to place the mixture back in the juicer a couple more times to get as much out of the nuts as possible. Finally, add in the cinnamon, vanilla extract, and agave nectar.
4. Banana and cashews
- 1 cup of raw cashews.
- 1 banana.
- A cup of water.
- A pinch of cinnamon.
You'll be needing a blender for this. Place the cashews in a bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak for about two hours. Afterward, throw them in the blender together with the banana. Finally, add the water and the cinnamon and blend it for a bit longer. If you're not a fan of cinnamon, cardamom or nutmeg are a good alternative for this DIY juice cleanse recipe.
5. Lemon and pepper
- Juice of 3-4 large lemons.
- A few pinches of cayenne pepper.
- 1 tablespoon of honey.
- 16 ounces of water.
You can simply squeeze the lemons and mix in the rest of the ingredients. You don't even need a juicer for this spicy lemonade.
What Will My Body Be Going Through?
A series of things will happen once you go on a DYI juice cleanse. Such benefits and disadvantages include:
You will discover what ails you.
Some of the foods we eat don't agree with our body. However, we continue to eat them because we don't know what exactly makes us sick. Since a cleanse will eliminate wheat, gluten, dairy, and fermented foods, it can help you pinpoint the problem. Reintroducing solid foods slowly can help you determine the hidden enemy.
Your appetite might drop.
Juicing probably won't shrink your stomach, but it will eliminate the possibility of comfort food. As a result, you'll learn to feed your hunger with less food. This may continue even after you start eating solid foods. It can be the necessary boost for people who wish to change their eating habits.
There's a nutrient boost.
If you're like the rest of us, you probably eat a lot of carbs on a day-to-day basis. The good thing is, juicing can bring you all the nutrients your body has been lacking for a long time.
It can heal the cells.
During this short time when you'll be on a DIY juice cleanse, your body cells will benefit greatly. A plant-based diet is generally good for the cells because it allows them to work optimally. This means re-establishing efficient internal messaging, manufacturing processes, and improving DNA functioning.
You'll probably experience caffeine withdrawal.
If you're a big coffee lover and can't imagine starting the day without your cup of Joe, then you might experience withdrawal symptoms. Fully committing to any detox program means giving up coffee. As a result, some may experience irritability, difficulty with concentration, and headaches.
You may get a bit depressed.
During a juice cleanse, your brain will not be receiving enough fatty acids. As a result, the serotonin levels will drop. This means that you may be feeling a bit depressed during those few days or weeks.
Diarrhea might happen.
Juices pass through the digestive system far quicker than solid foods. This means that you may end up running marathons to the bathroom when you're on a juice cleanse. Safe to say, start juicing in the weekend or anytime you have your days off.
You'll be feeling hangry.
Going too long without solid foods most likely changes everyone's mood. So you'll probably be hungry AND cranky. As a result, do expect your friends to make jokes about how hangry you are.
It may damage the liver.
Mind you, we're talking about doing a juice cleanse for a longer period of time. This is due to the fact that sugar and fructose have approximately the same effects on the liver as alcohol. It overloads the organ, thus possibly causing liver damage. A DIY juice cleanse is safer than pre-packaged juices, but you'll be still adding a vast amount of fruits to your diet. And fruits do contain a lot of sugar. So stick to just a few days of juicing. Repeat the process every couple of months if you feel the need.
We hope to have successfully answered your questions regarding the highly-praised juice cleanses. As always, before making any major changes to your diet, discuss with a physician. This is vital especially if you are suffering from a disease and/or are taking medicines. A DYI juice cleanse is a good way to detox your body, but you should also include physical exercises. After juicing, try to maintain your level of wellbeing by eating healthier.
