Posted 15 March 2018 | By Zachary Brennan
Confusion and concerns over portions of a tobacco-related final rule have pushed the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to delay indefinitely the implementation of the sections dealing with the types of evidence FDA may consider to determine how a manufacturer intends for its medical product to be used.
"This is a determination that can have significant implications for, among other things, how manufacturers communicate about and promote their products. How we determine intended use is an important issue that touches many fundamental aspects of the FDA's work," FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said in a statement in January.
FDA had sought comments on the proposal to delay the 19 March 2018 effective date of the portion of the rule related to intended use of medical products, though the tobacco-related portions of the final rule will go into effect.
"This final rule delays the effective date of the amendments to allow further consideration of the substantive issues raised in the comments received regarding the amendments," FDA said in a Federal Register notice published Thursday.
"We believe that the delay is reasonable and appropriate in light of the complex issues under consideration and the wide range of concerns, proposals, and recommendations we have received in comments from stakeholders on these issues," FDA said.
The agency also noted in a previous Federal Register notice that issues raised in a petition filed by PhRMA, BIO and the Medical Information Working Group, as well as the comments on the 2015 proposed rule and others from 2017 "underscore for FDA the potential for confusion related to the language in the final rule."
Patti Zettler, associate professor of law at Georgia State University School of Law, told Focus in January: "As a preliminary matter, I think the indefinite delay of this rule suggests that there is an improved prospect that FDA will not go forward with the rule as is. In the meantime, though, some of the language that industry has long been concerned about - that knowledge of unapproved uses can be evidence of intended use - remains in place."
At issue is how the initially proposed rule sought to remove a sentence, which FDA Law Blog last February called "the famous 'knowledge' sentence: 'But if a manufacturer knows, or has knowledge of facts that would give him notice, that a [drug or device] introduced into interstate commerce . . . is to be used for conditions, purposes, or uses other than the ones for which he offers it, he is required to provide adequate labeling for such a drug/device which accords with such other uses to which the article is to be put.'"
But the final rule did not remove the sentence and instead amended it with new language that angered industry groups, which called the move "a new and unsupported legal standard."
The new sentence said: "And if the totality of the evidence establishes that a manufacturer objectively intends that a device [or drug] introduced into interstate commerce by him is to be used for conditions, purposes, or uses other than ones for which it has been approved, cleared, granted marketing authorization, or is exempt from premarket notification requirements (if any), he is required, in accordance with section 502(f) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or, as applicable, duly promulgated regulations exempting the device from the requirements of section 502(f)(1), to provide for such device [or drug] adequate labeling that accords with such other intended uses."
As far as whether FDA might take another stab at what it means by intended use with a different or further amended rulemaking, Zettler noted that that largely depends on how high a priority it is for the agency.
FDA also explained how several comments raised legal concerns with the final rule, including arguments to the effect that the rule violates the First Amendment by regulating truthful speech regarding lawful activity.
Zettler added: "It's important to distinguish the agency's use of knowledge, or a 'totality of the evidence,' to determine the intended use of wholly unapproved products and its use of such evidence to determine the intended use of approved products. I think the First Amendment arguments are stronger when considering approved products, and the connection to off-label promotion, which is where courts have seemed inclined to question the constitutionality of FDA's policies."

My fellow Americans, the state of our union is strong." So every president over the past several decades has declared in his annual address to Congress. This is a half-truth in the best of times. Because a new president will be inaugurated in January 2017, there will likely be no formal State of the Union speech next year. Just as well, because it is hard to imagine anyone saying with a straight face that our union is strong.
This is not the first time America has faced daunting internal tensions and external threats. But during this year's presidential primaries, fear, despair, and dissatisfaction have drawn Americans to would-be leaders who promise radical change to restore our country's strength.
Yet strength is only one part of real health for nations. All truly flourishing communities must also embrace vulnerability. They accept and even seek out meaningful risk for the sake of growth. Great leaders do not just promise strength: they call people to risk as well.
But around the world today we see the rise of leaders who offer various forms of authority without vulnerability—strength without risk. This is the promise of every authoritarian government and every dictator, and it is increasingly the currency of American political campaigns. One candidate promised to build a wall to keep out illegal immigrants from Mexico—and to make Mexico pay for it. Another promised free tuition at public universities—and to make "Wall Street" pay for it.
These promises have several things in common, and not just that they are entirely unfeasible. They promise goods without a price, protection without effort, and benefits without costs—at least to people like us. They depend on extracting ...1

1/29 CARE Sheet - "Count on Me!" series 5 of 5; "You CAN Count on Me! Mark 14 & John 21/
"You Can Count on Me" - Bruno Mars Sermon Texts: Mark 14 & John 21
IN A NUTSHELL - People disappoint us! Period… And we have disappointed others. But Jesus, though he will never give us everything we want, will not let us down. You can always count on Jesus to see through the circumstances, provide what is essential, receive us just as we are, AND refuse to leave us where he found us!
ICE BREAKER – Without naming names, describe a time when you felt betrayed by someone close to you and how it affected your relationship with that person. If you are brave enough, share a time when you were the one who let someone else down and hurt them by something you said or did (or didn't do).?
- What are the pros and cons of being the type of person to be bold in your commitments like Peter? (e.g. First one to step out in faith- Mt. 14:28, and first one to step out in failure- Mt. 14:30.)
- List the ways Peter fails in following Jesus in the New Testament. (doesn't let children come to Jesus –Mk 10:13-14, doesn't want Jesus to wash his feet – Jn. 13:8, wants to worship Elijah and Moses on the mountain – Mt. 17:4, falls asleep during prayer time – Mk 14:37, sinks after walking on the water – Mt. 14:30, cuts off Malchus' ear – Jn. 18:10, denies Christ 3 times – Mk. 14:72, doesn't believe Jesus is resurrected at first –Mk. 16:11-13, shows favoritism to Jewish Christians in Jerusalem – Gal. 2:11-14)
- In what way did Jesus make a special point to restore his relationship with Peter? Mk. 16:7
- Thinking about Peter's betrayal, what meaning or significance, if any, do you think there was in how Jesus phrased this exchange? (Asking 3 times "Do you love me?")
- Have you ever made a bold promise to God about something in your life? ( A behavior, a habit, a goal, a mission, finances, purity, substance abuse, gossip, forgiveness, ministry involvement, etc.) Were you able to keep it? If so, what details came together so that you succeeded? If not, what happened that caused you to fail?
- Knowing that Peter was restored by Christ after all he did wrong, can you draw comfort that Christ can restore you after all you've done wrong?
- If we are to follow Jesus' example, what should be our response when others hurt and betray us? Discuss some practical ways to do this.
- What can you do to restore that relationship and show grace to them? Think of ways to build bridges, rather than burn them.
- Take some time to pray for one another and encourage one another to receive God's forgiveness and to forgive others who have hurt you as well.
NEXT WEEK – Over the next two months we will see the growth, challenges and successes of the early Church, with particular focus on any place that a family is spotlighted. Another element of spiritual authority will be addressed on 2/26. Holy defiance is boldness without arrogance and always seeks to avoid crossing God's line of authority. For next Sunday read Act 9 and Acts 16. Be prepared to discuss how Saul was different once converted and became known as "Paul."


text: NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Sandler O'Neill analyst Rich Repetto said Tuesday he expects volume figures for the online securities brokers likely fell asmuch as 5 percent during January as investors got a bit spooked by a market decline. "The overall market direction was down in January, which we expect led to lower retail investor activity in the first month of the year," Repetto said in a research note. Among the major online brokers Monday, Charles Schwab SC.H, -20.00% shares closed up 14 cents at $11.24, E-Trade ET, -3.65% rose 20 cents to $13.75 and Ameritrade AMTD, -2.12% added 48 cents to $12.93.

Creating a Home Filing System
by : Mharlos | 22 Jul, 2019 | Business Organization | Home Office Organziation | 0 Comments
Home Filing System – what to keep, what to toss, how to set things up and the biggest task of all – maintaining your home filing system.
If you do not have a home filing system with everything in one place then you need to start by creating a list of all the items that you know or believe are needed for you and your family.
Here is a comprehensive list of examples that I use when working with my clients PLUS a few action tips to help you.
• Home Phone
• Internet
• Cable
• Cellular
• Property Taxes
• Auto Insurance
• Mortgage
Optional: I only keep these records until the next bill arrives and I shred unless it can be deducted as a business expense.
• An action file is created and labelled: Bills to be paid. Once paid they are placed in a Paid Bills file. I file into the appropriate file or shred what is not necessary to keep.
Household Manuals & Warranties:
• Home Theatre System
• DVD Player
• Washer & Dryer
• Stove & Refrigerator
• Television
• Vacuum Cleaning System
• Carpet Cleaner
• Home Telephone
• Cell Phones
• Computer(s)
• All- in- One, Fax/scanner/printer
• iPads or Tablets
• iPods and other small electronic games and devices
(Place the book, the receipt(s), warranty, extended warranty, etc. all in an individual file folder labelled for each product)
so you can see the name of the item.
• Benefits Forms-i.e. dental, prescription, medical, etc.
Personal Records:
• Driver's Licenses
• Passports
• Marriage License
• Divorce Decree
• Birth Certificates
• Death Certificates
• Social Insurance Number (S.I.N.)
• Miscellaneous Benefits Forms-i.e. dental, prescription, medical, etc.
• Automobile
• Home
• Boat
Personal Records:
• Registration fees
• Memberships in accredited or professional associations
Personal Tax Records:
• Tax Slips
• RSP contributions
• Canada Pension plan contributions
• Company Pension Plan
• Wills
• Power of Attorney
Property Records:
• Property Taxes
• MPAC-property assessment
• Property Deed
• Mortgage Documents
• Home Sale/Purchase Agreements
• Rental Agreements
Banking Information:
• Credit Card Agreements & associated PIN information
• Line of Credit Agreements
• Secured Lines of Credit Agreements
• Bank account(s) documents
• Life Insurance
• Registered Investments:
• RSP's, GIC's, Canada Savings Bonds
• Non-Registered Investments
Many of the items above like bills, warranties, etc. can be stored electronically. If you have this option for home and/or business I recommend it but back it up!
in your home or office and most often is
much easier and simpler to access.
If you like you can follow the above example list using the titles as your tabs that can be attached to a hanging file folder and create a file folder for each category or even a combination of a few categories. And change the tabs and names of categories that make sense to you.
Now that you know what you need for your system, collect the items or call the necessary offices or experts to get the pertinent document(s) you need.
And finally, the last step: Maintaining your home filing system is simple. Each time you buy something new i.e. electronics or appliances replace the old manual, etc. with the new information.
Anytime you update your insurance, investments, etc. or receive an update replace the old information with the new, if it is no longer in affect.
Do this with all the items in your home filing system. And once a year purge your system. There are always things that get overlooked or you ran out of time to purge. It's okay…when you run out of room this will be a reminder for you to purge.
I usually do this in January as I prepare for the tax man and set up my new business systems. I go through the home filing system at the same time andtoss and shred all those items that are no longer needed.
If you want or need the items but you do not require easy access to themarchive them to a storage area so you will have enough space and all your important documents at your finger tips.


text: Finally, I have confirmed the dates for my next Yoga Study and Sadhana Course. I'm a bit embarrassed because it's taken a while but now I am ready to support some more people towards Yoga Teacher Training. This course will end in time for the next Mandala Yoga Ashram Teacher Training in Sept 2015 and hopefully it will bring more people into this life changing work. Can you help? I am looking to reach more people who are ready to go beyond the weekly class and go deeper into yoga. I wish to give them an experience of the gifts that I have received from Mandala Yoga Ashram. Do you know any people who are ready for this kind of course? Maybe you'll be the one who is remembered... I would love your help to spread the word. Pass this on and let me know if you need hard copies for students or friends. Big love, gratitude and Om, Comment

No-deal Brexit risks rise as UK-Japan trade talks hit buffers
Japan confident it can secure more advantageous deal with Britain than it has with EU
Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe and prime minister Theresa May. Japanese negotiators have been instructed to get the best deal possible for Japan
Britain and Japan have made little progress on a new trade deal in the past 18 months, according to officials involved in the talks, with tariffs set to revert to World Trade Organization levels at the end of March unless the UK ratifies a Brexit deal.
Japan has agreed to extend existing trade terms for the duration of Britain's planned transition period with the EU – but this will not apply if the UK fails to strike a deal with Brussels.
It is now too late for the Japanese Diet to ratify any agreement before Brexit is scheduled to take place on March 29th. There is also a wide gap in expectations about a trade accord, which would apply either in the case of no-deal Brexit or at the end of Britain's planned transition period, which is due to end in December 2020.
Tokyo is confident that it can secure better terms from the UK than it did in negotiations with the much larger EU, and is not willing to duplicate the existing treaty precisely in either a bilateral deal or in talks for the UK to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership group.
The lack of progress on a future bilateral deal – a goal set out by prime minister Theresa May on a visit to Japan in August 2017 – highlights the UK's broader struggle to roll over existing EU trade deals, let alone secure anything better.
This week, Britain's Department for International Trade briefed 30 business groups on its failure to replicate "most" of the EU's trade deals with other countries around the world. Participants complained that they would be seriously affected by the failure to conclude agreements with partners as significant as Canada, Turkey and Japan.
A UK government spokesperson said this week: "In the event of 'no deal' we will seek to bring into force bilateral agreements from 29th of March or as soon as possible thereafter."
The spokesperson added that the UK was "making good progress on securing deals" and cited agreements with Chile and the Faroe Islands. – Copyright The Financial Times Limited 2019

During the weekend we went bush walking and it's been a fabulous experience for all the family.
Little Miss Fussy is in love with Mother Nature, she feels at easy when surrounded by nature and while walking in the bush she couldn't stop talking about everything she was spotting.
Little Miss Daydream was very keen to be our line leader together with her sister and she was carried away by her sister's never-ending explanations about trees, leaves, birds…
Little Mr. Copycat had a great time finding sticks on the ground and using them in any unthinkable way. He happily followed his sisters even if from time to time he wanted to be carried by mummy to have a better view of the bush (maybe).
I enjoyed looking up at the enormous trees, listening to the squawking cockatoos and getting excited when hearing my daughters shouting: we found a wombat's house!!!
We learnt about different kind of trees, about why some trees where lying on the ground, which animals live in the bush (we found cockatoos, ants, wombats) what is moss. I think we did pretty well 🙂
While we were approaching our car on the way back home we were approached by a woman asking us if we wanted some lemons and she kindly gave us a bag full of fresh lemons. What a lovely surprise!
As soon as I arrived at home I found some recipes to use these lovely lemons.

The stressful life and increasing fight with the competitive world have paved ways for a wide array of health problems. One of the most commonly reported ones is the sleep issues. People either face a problem falling asleep or have a poor quality of sleep. Researchers mention that about one in every seven adults suffers from the problem of chronic insomnia (1). This type of sleep disorder may result in an inability to perform everyday tasks properly including working, going to school, decrease in immunity, decreased ability to concentrate or stay alert, weight gain, higher risk of diabetes, loss of libido, untimely aging, increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and even cancer.
In case, you fall among the ones who face difficulty in falling asleep, and would like to solve the issue without consuming unnatural medicines, here are some essential oils to the rescue. But before you choose one, let's explore some of the easy ways to apply them so that you can begin the treatment right away.
How to Use Essential Oils for Sleep?
There are multiple ways that you can choose from to harness the benefits of essential oils for improving sleep patterns and sleep quality. Here are the five best ways to do so:
1. Topical Application
This is probably the easiest and the quickest way to apply the essential oils for enhancing the sleep quality and sleep patterns among humans. Simply take about two to four drops of the essential oil onto your fingers. Head, neck, temples, and wrists are the areas where you need to apply these essential oils for sleep. Ensure to add some amount of the carrier oil to every essential oil that you use. The carrier oils can be one among coconut oil, olive oil, jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, argan oil, avocado oil, grapeseed oil, moringa oil, apricot kernel oil, castor oil, babassu oil, black seed oil, neem oil, hemp seed oil, rosehip oil, flaxseed oil, wheat germ oil, and tamanu oil. Repeat the process every day before going to bed.
2. Diffuse Essential Oil in Air
Another way to ensure great results with essential oils for sleep is to diffuse them in your house. A long day might give you a hell lot of stress that makes you incapable of sleeping. This is where the essential oils come handy; you can diffuse their fragrance in the atmosphere to lift up your mood and be energized. Just grab an aroma diffuser and add a small amount of essential oil to it. Inhale the aroma for about an hour and put it off before retiring to bed. The aroma will help you relax and aid the release of sleep-inducing hormones in the body. You can also choose essential oil diffuser recipes for sleep.
Ensure that you put off the diffuser before going to sleep. Primarily because inhaling too much of the essential oils might prove detrimental to your health. In case you suspect that you might forget to do so, place the diffuser at some distance away in an open space so that the fumes can expand to the entire area of your home rather than being concentrated in a single room.
3. Inhale Fumes Directly
This is a quick rescue method to get rid of the sleeping problem. The technique helps you control restlessness and involuntary movements while sleeping, thus enhancing the quality of sleep. Open the bottle of essential oil of your choice and inhale the fumes for the duration of about 30 seconds to a minute. This will help you feel relaxed within no time.
Another way to Inhale the Fumes: While direct inhalation is the easiest way to administer the essential oils, we have one more way to inhale them. Boil some water in a container and add a few drops of essential oil to it. Once done, sit with your face over the pot and cover yourself with a towel forming a tent-like structure.
4. Soak Up in Oil
Well, this is an amazing alternative if you do not want to try out the aromatherapy. Simply add a few drops of the essential oil you wish to use in the lukewarm water in your bathing tub. Once done, soak in it for 20 minutes. You will observe an amazing relief from the stress and anxiety. This eventually leads to secretion of sleep-inducing hormones in the body aiding a good night's sleep.
You can also apply some aromatic essential oil to your feet before going to bed for sleep.
Best Essential Oils for Sleep
1. Lavender Essential Oil
If you are wondering what essential oils are good for sleep, Lavender is the name that you are frequently going to hear. Extracted from the flowers of the plant known with the same name, lavender essential oil is a great remedy to leave those sleepless nights behind. All thanks to its amazing sedative actions.
According to a study, lavender essential oil offers various therapeutic and curative properties, that offer relaxation and a lot more. It is known to uplift the mood while offering the user with a wide array of properties such as mood stabilizing, sedative actions, and anticonvulsive and neuroprotective properties. It significantly helps with the anxiety disorders and related conditions as well. It is also suggested as an excellent natural remedy to treat insomnia and improve the sleep quality. Single-blind randomized studies evaluated the lavender odor on quality of sleep. It showed that the lavender improved mean scores of sleep quality in fifteen patients (2).
A study aimed to determine the effects of lavender aromatherapy, on the quality of sleep in the postpartum women, was conducted and significant observations were noted. A total of 158 mothers in their postpartum period were a part of the study. The fragrance of lavender was dropped using the cotton balls, which were placed on a cylindrical container. The entire procedure including some more steps was repeated for four times a week for eight weeks. It was observed that there were significant differences in the mothers' sleep quality. After eight weeks, aromatherapy using lavender oil not only helped the mothers to combat falling asleep, but also enhanced the sleep quality in the study groups. Aromatherapy using lavender essential oil was thus proven effective to treat the sleep issues, be it the difficulty in falling asleep or poor sleep quality. The paper hence proved aromatherapy to be a potent replacement for the pharmacological methods (3).
In another experiment, the effects of lavender essential oil on the sleep quality and anxiety levels were studied. The patients affected by sleep problem due to anxiety were administered with 2% lavender essential oil through aromatherapy. This aromatherapy was repeated for about fifteen days. After this duration, the patients were asked to scale their sleep quality and anxiety. Most of the patients reported a positive response with the application of lavender essential oil aromatherapy for sleep. It was concluded that lavender essential oil increased the quality of sleep and reduced the level of anxiety in the people affected by it. It can hence be used as a non-invasive, cheap and easily applicable alternative to the pharmacological or medicinal aids (4).
2. Cedarwood Essential Oil for Sleep
Another essential oil that has great efficacy as a sleep aid is the cedarwood essential oil. It serves as a magical relief formula against the sleeping problems. It has a woodsy aroma that proves to be uplifting and comforting. The application thereby helps the body to secrete sleep-inducing hormones, which help the people to fall asleep and enjoy better sleep quality.
According to a study, essential oils mix including true lavender essential oil, sweet orange essential oil, Japanese cypress essential oil, Virginian cedarwood essential oil, and pine oil were applied to the patients for sleep. It was concluded that various compounds in the essential oils including cedrol in the cedarwood essential oil served amazingly in order to induce sleep and enhance the quality of sleep (5).
According to another study, cedarwood oil has outstanding sedative effects when inhaled. In this experiment, the sedative effects of the inhaled cedrol, which is the compound that makes a major portion of cedarwood oil, were evaluated. It was observed that the rats exposed to cedrol exhibited a decrease in the accumulative spontaneous motor activity. In addition to this, the exposure to cedrol also prolonged the pentobarbital-induced sleeping in the Wistar rats. The final conclusions of the experiment proved that the cedrol inhalation marked significant sedative effects regardless of the animal species or functional state of the autonomic nerves (6).
There are, however, some words of caution associated with the application of cedarwood essential oil. You should never use this oil for the children who are below six years of age. In addition to this, pregnant women should strictly be prohibited from using the cedarwood essential oil. This is because the oil is potent enough for deformities in the kids.
3. Myrtle Essential Oil
Myrtle essential oil is also one of the effective remedies to treat people suffering from insomnia or poor quality of sleep.
According to scientific research and studies, myrtle essential oil is used as an alternative to traditional medicines for inducing sleep. Its effects are mainly owing to its excellent sedative and hypnotic activities. The essential oil of myrtle was administered orally to the mice and the latency to sleep along with the sleep duration was recorded. In the end, it was observed that the essential oil prolonged the sleep duration (7).
In another experiment, essential oil of Myrtle was given orally to Swizz albino mice of both the genders. The hypnotic effects of the application were evaluated. The same process was repeated for an hour prior to the pentobarbital injection, after which the latency to sleep and sleep duration were recorded. It was confirmed that the administration of different doses of essential oil of Myrtle had hypnotic effects induced by pentobarbital. It was also concluded that the essential oil of myrtle could be used as a treatment for insomnia. It helps the people to prolong sleep duration and reduce sleep latency (8).
4. Vetiver Essential Oil
Besides being used as a popular ingredient in the perfumery, the vetiver essential oil serves you as a great remedy in case you have trouble falling asleep or frequently wake up in between. That is, vetiver essential oil can help you not only for inducing sleep, but also to cure sleep apnea. It is mainly because the earthy smell of this essential oil promotes the feel-good spirit. The smell helps the people to feel relaxed, helping them get a great relief from the factors like anxiety, stress, anger, etc., which inhibit sleep or deteriorate the quality of sleep. These effects induced by the vetiver essential oil are known as sedative properties and find their mention even in scientific studies. It is used widely for this property in the aromatherapy (9). Many users apply the essential oil to their feet an hour prior to sleeping to improve the quality of sleep. In case, you do not get instantly used to the fragrance of vetiver oil, you can mix it in some other essential or carrier oil before application.
5. Peanut Essential Oil
Peanut essential oil is another wonderful way to cure lack of sleep. According to a scientific study, there are a total of 37 compounds in the AHSL essential oil or the peanut essential oil. These compounds can be chiefly identified as linalool (16.17%), n-hexadecanoic acid (16.42%), and 1-octen-3-ol (8.48%; a product of linalool decomposition). These compounds are known to have sedation like effects, due to which it exhibits great potential to increase the sleep, specifically during SD phase.
To conduct an experiment, 34 rats were administered by the AHSL essential oil regularly for two weeks. The conclusion backed that AHSL exhibits the physiological regulatory effect. It was suggested that the oil has the ability to increase the Ad levels in the brain during sleep deprivation, which, in turn, have the potential to increase sleep. This is mainly owing to the sedative effects, which can be attributed to the high linalool content.
6. Roman Chamomile Essential Oil
Roman chamomile essential oil is another one that is known to help the people who face difficulty falling asleep. Not only this, you can also use this essential oil for helping your babies drift off to a good night's sleep. The amazing benefits are attributed to the presence of calming, soothing, and relaxing properties of the oil. The light floral scent of the chamomile essential oil is known to induce an amazing aura of peaceful atmosphere in the vicinity. According to science, the aqueous extract of the roman chamomile oil has been used as a mild sedative to calm down the nerves and reduce anxiety. This, in turn, supplies the user with additional benefits of treatment for hysteria, nightmares, insomnia, and also other sleep-related problems (10).
In another study, some of the patients affected by cardiac arrest were administered with the aqueous extracts of roman chamomile. It was observed that the patients fell into a deep sleep after the application, hence proving as a great remedy against sleep problems (11).
7. Ylang-ylang Essential Oil
The floral and fruity fragrance of the Ylang-ylang essential oil helps your mind to calm down live anxiety feelings. Scientific studies recommend that inhaling the smell of ylang-ylang essential oil induces a state of mind that causes sleep (12). In another scientific experiment, ylang-ylang essential oil was used as an ingredient of the blend tested for the effectivity against sleep deprivation. Treatment of 53 patients was done using this blend. The aromatherapy massage proved as an effective treatment to improve the quality of sleep (13).
8. Bergamot Essential Oil
Bergamot is a citrus fruit, and the essential oil of the same is extracted when the rind of this berry is cold-pressed. The essential oil of bergamot exhibits a stimulating effect. It induces a calming effect and helps the person with emotional balancing. A study was conducted to analyze the effects of bergamot essential oil with a strong focus on its therapeutic properties in the field of aromatherapy. Its effects for reducing the anxiety and stress were the major areas of focus. The conclusions stated that the bergamot essential oil is very effective when it comes to mood enhancement and treating mild symptoms of stress-induced disorders. The aromatherapy massage done using the bergamot essential oil has been shown to relieve the symptoms of anxiety among the patients and facilitate sleep induction in them (14).
9. Sandalwood Essential Oil
Popular for religious use, sandalwood is widely used for its pleasant aroma and great medicinal benefits. It is also an amazing ingredient of the remedies which are used to help the people who are suffering from sleep deprivation, or poor sleep quality. In a study aimed to analyze the effects of santalol on the sleep-wake cycle in sleep-distributed rats, it was stated that the compound leads to a significant decrease in the total waking time and an increase in total sleep time. Santalol is the compound that chiefly makes up the essential oil of sandalwood. This compound has been reported to have central nervous system depressant effects such as sedation. The study found that santalol may act via circulatory system and can be used by the patients who have difficulty maintaining sleep without posing any side effects (15). Same effects of santalol find their mentions in another experiment, thus backing up the efficacy (16).
10.Marjoram Essential Oil
If you are under the impression that marjoram oil is only meant for cooking, you are absolutely wrong, because the usage of this oil is simply not limited to cooking. A study aimed to establish the effects of aromatherapy massage on sleep quality of nurses on monthly rating night shifts proves this. The chief compound that was used was terpinen-4-ol which was steam extracted from the sweet marjoram essential oil. 5ml of sweet almond oil was combined with the 100μl marjoram oil and then gently mixed at room temperature unless it formed a uniform mixture.
It was concluded that sweet marjoram oil contains a wide array of compounds that aid sleep. These include linylacetate, which helps the patient to calm down the emotions. Another one was linalool, which establishes the cardiovascular system and relaxes the body. Other included monoterpenes like a-pinene, y-pinene, and p-cymene which posed great anti-inflammatory actions besides terpinen-4-ol, which helps dilate the blood vessels and regulate the nervous system. The combined effect of these compounds helps the person's body to relax and stimulate sleep-inducing hormones.
11.Neroli Essential Oil
Neroli essential oil is obtained from the flowers of the bitter orange tree through the process of bitter distillation. It is one of the essential oils that are very often used for aromatherapy applications to aid relaxation and sleep. It has amazing effects on the person's body which help the nervous system to calm down. It is also used as a mild sedative that can help the people who are affected by anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and the symptoms associated with the stress. The muscle relaxing and emotional calming effects of the neroli oil come handy in order to induce sleep. The same effects have been mentioned in the scientific papers as well (17). Also known as wild orange essential oil, this is generally recommended oil to the users for aiding good sleep.
12.Orange Oil
This high powerhouse of vitamin C not only helps you keep the diseases at bay by helping you maintain good immune system, but also satisfies the taste buds. But that's not just the thing, you can also use it if you are looking for solutions to avoid tossing and turning on your bed. Orange oil's citrus aroma can exhibit strong uplifting properties that help the people fight depression and associated symptoms. The fruit is frequently used as an alternative treatment for insomnia, anxiety, and epilepsy. In an experiment to establish the effects, it was observed that the extract proved fruitful in enhancing the sleep time among the sleep-deprived patients and helped reduce the anxiety magically (18). According to another paper, orange oil is a great aid to induce sleep.
13. Clary Sage Essential Oil
Another great essential oil for inducing sleep is the clary sage essential oil. Being an anti-depressant in nature, this essential oil has the potential to help the person get relief from stress and anxiety, thus helping the stimulation of hormones that bring a good night sleep. This oil is particularly very effective for the women who have entered menopause and help them with sleep deprivation. Science recommends the aromatherapy using clary sage essential oil to fight insomnia and stimulate great sleep (19).
14.Rose Oil
Rose oil happens to be one of the most popular scents in aromatherapy and comes handy to get rid of a wide array of problems. It amazingly helps the people to overcome stress and anxiety, thus helping them fight sleep deprivation due to it. According to clinical research, the species of rose, from which rose oil is obtained, is known to have excellent hypnotic effects on the central nervous system. It has been stated that the administration of ethanolic and aqueous extracts in doses of 500 and 1000mg/kg significantly increased the pentobarbital-induced sleep time in the mice.
According to another study, the hypnotic effects of three fractions of this plant were evaluated for their potential. They too were proved for the actions and were reputed as one of the best essential oils for sleep. This efficacy is primarily attributed to the presence of compounds like flavonoids and terpenes, which are also hypnotic. Also, flavonoids have been shown to possess anxiolytic and antidepressant nature in numerous studies (21). This proves that rose essential oil can be a potent solution for the problems associated with lack of sleep.
15.Valerian Essential Oil
The extract obtained from the roots of valerian, one of the widely acclaimed flowering plants, has been widely used for treating sleeping disorders in Europe for decades. Not only this, but it is also very popular as a set treating aid in the United States for curing insomnia. According to papers, several studies established valerian as a great treatment for sleep-related issues. It stated that valerian had less scientifically significant effects on the relative risk of improved sleep. It is empowered with the abilities that can not only induce sleep but also help the people suffering from poor sleep (22).
In another experiment, some patients who were affected by less sleep were analyzed and treated with valerian essential oil. Valerian provided a significant improvement in the initiation of sleep, duration of sleep, disturbed sleep, and disturbances due to routine work (23). This high efficacy for curing sleep-related issues comes from the fact that valerian essential oil is a great solution for the people who are affected by stress and anxiety. Hence, aromatherapy done using the valerian essential oil helps the person's mind to calm down and fall into a state of sleep.
16.Patchouli Essential Oil
Patchouli essential oil is one of the most commonly used essential oils in the aromatherapy. Inhaling the aroma of patchouli essential oil or absorbing it through the skinis is known to transmit signals to the brain that enables it to control the emotions. This, in turn, affects the nervous system. The effects of this essential oil on the central nervous system also affect other biological factors to aid control on heart rate, stress levels, blood pressure, breathing, and boost immunity. These factors thereby help the person to restore natural balance and induce a state of sleep.
According to a study, the sedative actions of the essential oil extracted from the patchouli leaves were evaluated using mice when the volatile oil was administered by inhalation. The inhalation significantly reduced the spontaneous motor activity. The presence of compounds like 1-octen-3-ol, terpinolene, patchouli alcohol, and methyl salicylate attributed to this ability of the essential oil. The inhalation of terpinolene further increased the prolongation of the sleeping time induced by the pentobarbital. It was also studied that these compounds are a potent suppressor of the central nervous system (24).
According to another study, the aroma of patchouli essential oil has been serving as an ancient medicine for their magnificent sedative effects. The hexane extract of patchouli was known to stimulate sedative action in a dose-dependent manner. The inhalation of the hexane extract of patchouli showed excellent sedative activity in the mice. The main compound identified was diacetone alcohol. The ketone group in the structure and the carbon number of the main chain mainly play an important role in the sedative action. This is the reason that it is used in traditional Japanese scent bags (25).
17. Star anise Essential oil
The next one on our list of essential oils for deep sleep is the star anise essential oil. It acts as an amazing sedative. Due to this, it significantly helps the people affected by anxiety, stress, and nervousness.

According to a study by science direct, when experimented, anise essential oil increased the pentobarbital-induced sleeping time of mice by 93.5% after simultaneous intra-peritoneal administration of essential oil of aniseeds at 50mg/kg. This hence established the reputation of anise essential oil as a potential remedy for curing sleep-related issues (26).
According to another study, anise essential oil has anticonvasculant and neuro positive effects on the brain. This stimulates feel-good hormones thereby reducing the signs and symptoms of depression. Traditional Persian medicines textbooks refer anise oil to elate the mood and consequently decrease depression. Also, it is referred to as a potential treatment for insomnia (27).
18. Bay Essential Oil
Bay essential oil is blessed with exemplary sedative properties. This is the reason that if you are having sleepless nights due to stress and anxiety, bay essential oil is the best one you can opt for.

19.Dill Essential Oil
Dill essential oil is another potent remedy for the people who are sleep deprived or suffer from poor sleep. This essential oil is also traditionally used to improve sleep and fight sleep apnea. The essential oil obtained from the dill also offer excellent sedative qualities. It activates certain enzymes and hormones in the body which in turn have a calming effect. This is the reason that, if used as an aromatherapy agent for the people who are having trouble falling asleep, this essential oil calm down your nerves, thus helping you relax.
According to the scientific papers, dill is one of the traditional Iranian medicine that has carminative, antispasmodic, sedative, lactagogue and diuretic properties, which help the patients affected by sleep deprivation (28).
Another study backs up these findings. It is stated that dill seeds are enriched with two main compounds including tannin and anethole. These compounds offer amazing benefits, one of which is the sedative properties. Anethole also makes the anise essential oil a great remedy for curing anxiety and even induces relaxing effects (29).
You can thus apply two-three drops of this outstanding essential oil in the diffuser for harnessing the benefits of the dill essential oil.
20.Basil Essential Oil
The essential oil obtained from steam distillation of basil leaves is another excellent essential oil remedy for sleep problems like trouble in sleeping and poor sleep quality.

What makes it a potent treatment for sleep deprivation is the benefits it offers regarding sedative actions. These properties enable it to be used as a cure for the disturbed mind which helps with sleep-inducing. It also helps to improve the quality of sleep thereby serving as a comprehensive treatment.
According to a scientific study, basil is very much similar to Salvia officinalis. This is the reason that it exhibits strong action against anxiety. The study was aimed to determine the anti-anxiety effects of the hydroalcohlic extract and essential oil of basil. The sedative effect of the essential oil overshadowed the one exhibited by the extract. These effects were attributed to the presence of phenols and terpenoid components (30).
Another study states that basil essential oil is used as an ingredient in the preparations meant to help the patients in sleep disturbances. These trends were majorly accurate for the old patients and help them improve the overall well-being of the people.

It also helps with the signs of insomnia and sleeplessness, thus providing a perfect balance in your life.
A bunch of researchers investigated the effects of the odor of jasmine tea on autonomic nerve activity and mood states in the 24 healthy volunteers. Jasmine aroma exhibited the same effects as that of lavender and caused a significant decrease in the heart rate and increased integrated values at a high-frequency component in comparison with control. It was concluded that jasmine aroma has great sedative action and mood uplifting qualities. These qualities are mainly attributed to the presence of the compound known as linalool (31).
Another paper proposes that jasmine possesses excellent sedative and anti-depression capabilities. This property helps the people with mood uplifting and in turn, induces the sleep (32).
22.Juniper Essential Oil
The 22nd essential oil for sleep is the juniper essential oil. This essential oil obtained by the steam distillation of needles, wood, and powdered fruits of juniper is an excellent sedative in nature. This is probably the reason that juniper essential oil happens to be one of the ingredients that make up perfect sleep-inducing composition (33).
The essential oil of juniper has a wide array of health-boosting compounds like alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, sabinene, limonene, and mircene. Of these, limonene makes juniper essential oil perfect tools for the ones looking for alternatives to treat the sleep problems. It has been shown through the scientific studies that inhalation of limonene offers the users with excellent sedative properties. Owing to this, when applied for the patients affected by sleep deprivation, limonene served as a great agent to induce sleep. Not only is it sedative, but also has motor relaxant effects on the user. It helped the subjects to drift off to sleep quickly and also significantly increased the sleep time (34).
23.Melissa Essential Oil

With a sweet lemony fragrance, the essential oil of Melissa or lemon balm is extracted from the leaves of the plant known with the same name. It contains strong soothing properties. The topical or aromatic application of this essential oil promote the feeling of relaxation and can help in calming the tension and nerves. The plant, Melissa officinalis, from which this essential oil is obtained, is widely used for its hypnotic, sedative, and spasmolytic effects. In an experiment, an adult male was administered with the essential oil of Melissa. It was known that the person had been affected by the anxiety disorders and stress for over three months. He consumed the tea every night before retiring to bed. It was observed that the anxiety symptoms significantly reduced. The most probable causes of this were stated as sedative, anxiolytic, hypnotic, and cognitive effects of essential oil. This essential oil also affects the quality of sleep and decrease the sleep latency (35).
However, there is a word of caution with the application of this essential oil. The same effects that prove it to be beneficial for treating sleep-related problems are responsible for its addictive nature. A person who consumes the essential oil tea every day might fall prey to its addiction and hence feel restless, when not taken. Therefore, you must consume this essential oil only after consulting a doctor.

After the intraperitoneal injection, citronellal induced reduction of spontaneous activity and caused sedation. It also significantly increased the sleep time. The results indicate that it can act as a great sleep inducer (36).
In another experiment, the essential oil of lemongrass was evaluated for sedative/hypnotic activity through pentobarbital sleeping time. It was concluded that the essential oil was pretty effective in increasing the sleep time (37). Thus, you can use it as a great aid for improving the quality of sleep. Another study also refers to the essential oil of lemongrass as a potent treatment for sleep-related problems and the one that improves the quality of sleep (38). This makes it an ideal alternative to traditional sleeping pills.

This is because of the excellent sedative nature that helps the mind to cool down and hence induce relation to promote a good night's sleep.

The Hout Bay community is demanding that the Department of health reopen the Hout Bay Day Hospital.
Director of Communications at Western Cape Health Department, Marika Champion says the decision to close the facility was as a result of a number of violent protests in the area.
She says they had to consider the safety of their staff as some of them were caught between fire when these violent protests erupted.
According to Champion, the facility was closed but services are still delivered to the people of Hout Bay from a facility nearby.
It is important to understand that services were not suspended but they continued at an alternative site very close to the current site also in Hout Bay.— Marika Champion, Director of Communications at Western Cape Health Department
These incidents, unfortunately, come with a high level of unpredictability but they come with severe staff and patient safety concerns because it becomes very difficult to render effective services within such conditions.— Marika Champion, Director of Communications at Western Cape Health Department
Champion says they understand the frustrations displayed by the community of Hout Bay but says the safety of their staff cannot be compromised at this point.

The advancement of the regional dialect is at the forefront for the new wave of skilled Māori orators emerging from the North.
"Our people see the value in learning to the highest levels, you know, it's now not enough to [just] acquire the language," says Northern Regional Director for Te Wānanga o Aotearoa, Bernard Te Paa.
Te Wānanga o Aotearoa hosted their annual Autumn graduation ceremony at Toll Stadium, Whangarei today.
Mr. Te Paa says that an estimated 200 students across numerous disciplines were in attendance. However, the actual number of graduands today was more in the vicinity of 500- half of the students present having affiliations to the numerous kapa haka around the region.
"Don't leave it just for on stage. Our customs, our language, our treasures. Bring them in to our homes," says Ross Smith, a long-time exponent of traditional Māori weaponry in Northland.
Such comments have gained support from the Te Tai Tokerau regional delegate on the Te Matatini executive board, Pauline Hopa.
"To be seen- for us all to hear the language everywhere. Schools, households, the workplace, and all public spaces of the region," says Ms. Hopa- herself graduating today after successfully completing the Te Pīnakitanga Ki Te Reo Kairangi course through Te Wānanga o Aotearoa.
As at the 2013 Census, 9.1% of Northlanders spoke Te Reo Māori and although statistics from the latest census are yet to be calculated, these graduates believe that number will rise.
"The language will be revitalised. However, the Māori worldview is the most important thing - in that if it perishes, it may never return," says head tutor of the Te Pīnakitanga Ki Te Reo Kairangi course in the Northland region, Moana-Aroha Henry.

Have a wonderful weekend all. 😀
Reblogged this on Dream Big, Dream Often.
hey, any chance you'd be able to describe what the images are? i'm blind, but I want to try to enjoy your funnies too! sorry for the inconvenience. would also love it if you'd follow my blog http://therapybits.com/ hugs! xo
I do apologise for the delay. No problem at all!
Image 1 – Says: "The Original Computer" and has a drawing of a pencil on it. The writing end says 'Print', whilst the rubber/eraser end says 'delete'.
Image 2 – A gentleman called Simon Holland tweeted "I got a job at Comcast and completed training so I could fix my own cable because it was faster than being on hold with customer service".
Image 3 – Three blue birds are sitting on a branch (drawn). The fist says "Chirp chirp". The second says "RT (retweet) @birdnexttome chirp! chirp! <<LOL #funnybirdnoises". The third says "WTF!??".
Image 4 – A grape and a raisin (drawn). The grape asks "What happened to you?". The raisin says "Long story short, I had gift certificates to a tanning salon that were about to expire so I used them all up at once".
Image 5 – There is a guy/dude from neck upwards cover in slices of bread. The caption says "This man has a bread helmet. Your argument is invalid".

I hope you enjoyed them. Have a wonderful week.

my boyfriend always complains i act like im not interested in spending time with him but whenever i ask to spend time with him he acts like i'm asking too much of him and like he has so many things to do he just can't and if i act sad about him having to leave or do something he gets annoyed and that's why i don't ever 'act interested' because whenever i do i get called annoying and clingy and told how he cant spend all this time with me. i feel like no matter what i do im going to be wrong.
It doesn't sound like this is a healthy relationship. Your boyfriend criticizes you for acting "not interested in spending time with him," but when you do, he says you're being "annoying and clingy."
Making someone feel like "no matter what you do, it's wrong" is emotionally manipulative and cruel. When with a partner, you should feel welcome and accepted and free to relax into your feelings. Being constantly critiqued, policed, and put down for how you act and how you feel is not healthy at all.
You deserve to be with someone who has the emotional maturity to identify their needs and work with you to meet them, rather than demanding some psychic perfection. Leave this relationship.

While bad breath is unpleasant to deal with, it is worse to ignore it. Many things can cause bad breath, and those things are generally not good for your oral health either. Let's look at some ways we can address some common causes of bad smelling breath and improving your oral health along the way. Our Gemma Tanglao Dalton, DDS team in Bedford, Texas, would like to address dry mouth, oral infections, and tobacco use and how they affect your breath.
With fall in the air, respiratory illnesses are on the rise. Sinus infections are particularly odious when it comes to the breath, as they become plugged up with mucus. To drain them, you need to open them which relieves the pressure around your eyes. Using saline sprays, allergy remedies, nasal steroids and increasing hydration to thin the mucus can offer relief from bad breath.
Dry mouth is an oral condition that is notorious for causing bad smelling breath. You see, sufficient levels of saliva are needed to rinse away bacterial residue from your mouth. You can find yourself with lowered saliva levels if you drink lots of soda, tea or coffee, thanks to the diuretic effects of caffeine. Lowered saliva levels can also happen when you breathe through your mouth instead of your nose because of congestion or using antihistamines. So keep your saliva supplied with the moisture it needs, drink lots of fluids, especially water. You can stimulate saliva production by chewing sugarless gum or snacking on fresh apples or celery slices.
Tobacco in any form dries out the oral cavity, and cause bad smelling breath. If you can quit this habit, your overall health will improve as well as your breath. Even switching to vaping can eliminate the effects of tobacco on the mouth. Increasing your daily brushing and flossing game, along with rinsing well to get rid of bacterial debris and staying hydrated will go a long way to ensure better oral health and breath.
Ignoring bad breath doesn't make it go away, and usually, the problem just gets worse. Address the issue, and not only your breath will improve but your oral health will too! Please give us a call at 817-571-1667 if you have any questions for our team. Our dentist, Dr. Gemma Dalton is here to help you have the healthiest smile possible!

We offer premium quality Canon printer repair services which are tailored to the wide range of products sold by Canon.

Surrender – with love. Srila B.A. Paramadvaiti Maharaj about the prime essentials in Krishna Consciousness. What it means, and what it does not mean.
"What we are aspiring for in this process of spiritual life, it's definitely not an ordinary thing. [–] It is actually the supreme goal of life, which can only be produced upon coming in contact with a true source of spiritual energy, and by reciprocating to that source with the appropriate attitude, which is called surrender. [–] Mundane surrender is the war situation: people pull out the white flag and announce their unconditional surrender to the enemy. This is not the surrender which the spiritual master calls upon. [–] In spiritual life, the word 'surrender' means to embrace the greatest of all loving invitations, without any shaking."
"Surrender is the absolute acceptance, in word and deed and preferably thought as well, of what is favourable towards obtaining progress on my path back to Home, back to Godhead. To get that, to get there, that is the goal of my life. There is no more important thing, there is no better thing than that. But there are impediments. So to accept everything favourable to go to this right direction, that is one of the symptoms of surrender. And on the contrary, to be very decided and determined and progressive in rejecting everything unfavourable towards reaching the lotus feet of Lord Krishna."
"Initially we may not be so secure yet of what is the goal to achieve. We just know it is light, we know it is peace, we know it is beyond duality, we know it is beyond misery, and we know it is beyond lie, and all the other garbage. But really, surrender comes to not have any separate desires from Lord Krishna's desires. So that focuses here, very concretely: Surrender means that there is somebody else's desires who are determining things. [–] What's the sweet will of Krishna for me?"
"Surrender brings about a major change in existence. A transition. A shifting from the efforts of egotism to spiritual dedication." [–] By utilizing what has been given to you in the service of Krishna, you can make a good use of a bad bargain." [–] In the mood of surrender, everything is positive, everything is progressive."

Shipping Industry Leaders Announce Clean Air Partnerships With Top U.S. Ports
Feb 24, 2011, 09:26 ET
CRT to Serve as National Forum for Best Practices to Reduce Diesel Emissions
ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --The Coalition for Responsible Transportation (CRT) announced today that three of the nation's largest ports—the Georgia Ports Authority, the South Carolina State Ports Authority, and the Virginia Port Authority—have joined CRT as Charter Port Members.
This announcement marks the first time that CRT's membership has expanded to include public sector representatives, and will allow CRT to serve as a forum for ports around the country to collaborate with leading cargo owners, trucking companies, ocean carriers and CRT's partner organizations, including Environmental Defense Fund and the Retail Industry Leaders Association, to identify and implement best practices to reduce port-related diesel emissions.
CRT is a national coalition of importers, exporters, trucking companies and ocean carriers who share the belief that by partnering together, ports and their customers can improve the environmental quality of port communities while ensuring that the ports remain an engine for job creation and a thriving economy.
"CRT's mission is to develop public-private partnerships to solve air quality problems, and today's announcement is the next step in CRT's efforts to create a national venue to share best practices, build clean air partnerships between America's ports and their customers and service providers," said CRT President Rick Gabrielson, who is the Director of International Transportation for Target Corporation.
CRT's Charter Port Members share a commitment to environmental sustainability that has been demonstrated by their significant capital investments in air quality improvements across port operations and their development of innovative programs to reduce diesel emissions.
For example, through the Georgia Ports Authority's crane electrification, use of refrigerated container racks, rubber-tired gantry crane repower project and use of fuel additives, the Port of Savannah avoids use of more than 4.5 million gallons of fuel annually, resulting in tremendous emissions savings.
Curtis Foltz, Executive Director of the Georgia Ports Authority, commented, "Our commitment to being a leader in environmental stewardship is a key tenet of our fundamental mission at the GPA. We look forward in working with the CRT to identify collaborative industry solutions to improve overall air quality."
The South Carolina Ports Authority's award-winning environmental program, its "Pledge for Growth," includes voluntary efforts to address land, air, water and community impacts of the port. For example, air projects range from crane electrifications and energy efficiency projects to more than $5 million in public-private, voluntary initiatives that include using cleaner fuels, installing cleaner engines and reducing emissions from four tug boats, 57 port stacking cranes, a dredge and more than 170 trucks.
"The Port of Charleston shares CRT's commitment to practical solutions for improving air quality, while also enhancing the flow of commerce," said Jim Newsome, President & CEO of the South Carolina Ports Authority. "We look forward to continuing our productive relationship with CRT and its member companies, delivering programs that make environmental and economic sense."
Jerry Bridges, Executive Director of the Virginia Port Authority commented, "For more than a decade the Virginia Port Authority has voluntarily engaged in—and developed—diesel emission-reduction programs. The CRT is an industry leader in the development of clear-air programs that engage the critical players within the transportation logistics supply chain. It is that industry-wide influence and leadership that led the VPA to seek a charter membership in the organization."
Among its many environmental initiatives, in 2007 the Virginia Port Authority launched its Green Operator (GO) program, which is one of the first voluntary clean truck programs at a U.S. port. The VPA's dedication to this program, the cooperative efforts of the Federal, State and non-profit GO partners, and the support of Virginia's trucking industry have led to the replacement and/or retrofit of over 200 trucks within the last 18 months. The program continues to gain momentum, as currently 120 additional trucks are awaiting funding for replacement and "GO" is serving as a model for a larger regional program currently under development in the Mid-Atlantic region.
Today's announcement was made at the Retail Industry Leaders Association Logistics Conference in Orlando, Florida, where over 1,000 shipping industry leaders are gathered to discuss topics including ways to promote environmental sustainability in the supply chain.
CRT looks forward to additional ports around the country joining this partnership in coming months.
