By ANNA HODGEKISS FOR MAILONLINE
A man battling cystic fibrosis has managed to control his illness by becoming a champion bodybuilder - despite risking his life every time he lifts weights. James Boudreau has a lung capacity of just 48 per cent and sleeps with an oxygen mask at night to prevent him from contracting life threatening lung infections. But the 29-year-old, who is nicknamed 'The Miracle', made it his life goal to become a champion bodybuilder after doctors told him he could be dead within two years if he didn't have a lung transplant.
Mr Boudreau, from Michigan, U.S., was diagnosed with the debilitating lung disease - which makes sufferers susceptible to life threatening viruses – when he was three. The genetic disorder also causes the lungs and digestive system to become clogged with thick mucus. There is currently no cure.
When he lost 72 per cent of his lung capacity after a motorcycle accident at age 26, doctors said he would be dead within two years if he didn't have a lung transplant. But Mr. Boudreau, who comes from a family of body builders, was reluctant to have a transplant, as complications from the the same operation had killed his youngster sister when she was just a year old.
Instead, he swapped alcohol and junk food for weight lifting - and started building his strength – despite numerous doctors' warnings that strenuous exercise could kill him. Miraculously, after changing his diet and taking protein supplements, his lung capacity increased. With the support of his wife, Amanda, 28, he began to gain weight and became strong enough to work out seven times a week for 45 minutes – allowing him to increase his lung capacity to a 'safe' 48 per cent. It was then he decided take part in body building competitions.He said: 'I have been very active all my life but my mid-twenties was a real rough patch.
'After the accident I'd lost three quarters of my lung function, which was scary, because it came out of nowhere. 'I'd tried to compete and failed, but I knew deep down in my soul that I would live in a world of regret if I didn't try one last time. 'It was beyond a 'bucket list' type of goal – a must at any and all costs. 'My doctors weren't happy about it but I told them how important it was to me and went for it.'
He added: 'I want to show people who have this disease that anything is possible. 'I have no real cardio capacity other than walking or playing tennis in short bursts, and if I go all out, I just collapse. 'I sometimes need oxygen in the gym as well just to get through some sessions; I could collapse at any point when lifting weights.'
Against all odds, James managed to scoop his first winner's trophy in the junior lightweight division at the Flex Lewis Classic in Mursfreeburo, Tennessee – a feat previously deemed untenable. He now wants to compete in national body building competitions and intends to apply for an International Federation of BodyBuilding & Fitness (IFBB) 'Pro card'–the qualification required to become a professional body builder.
Mr Boudreau said: 'After the competition, I told my wife this would be the first and the last one. 'But after I won, she suggested a list of things I needed to do differently for the next competition. 'At first I was apprehensive, but with my wife 100 per cent behind me, I really genuinely feel I have a legitimate shot at becoming a pro. 'Cystic Fibrosis really doesn't have an effect on my mental focus towards this goal, I like to think I can be the best, my biggest competition is my health.'
He added that growing up with the condition - spending weeks in hospital and missing school - was tough. 'When you're a kid, you want to do anything and everything your friends are doing, so it was difficult for me being excluded from that 'I would find myself in the hospital a lot while in school or over summer break, birthdays, Christmas and even New Year.'

Beckett had his first meeting with a Vision Specialist this week. We saw an opthamologist back in January who said structurally, his eyes were fine. We took that as a big positive, but then shortly after (probably like a day or two later!), while Googling HIE, CP, MRI results, etc., I came across a handful of posts on chat boards from parents of children in similar situations who had cortical vision impairment. The opthamologist, nor any of our other doctors had ever mentioned this, yet it seemed to be exactly what we've been seeing with Beckett. This made me feel a bit discouraged at the quality of care he's getting. From what I read, if therapy starts early, the brain can build new connections for those missing pathways and vision can improve. The fact that no doctor had considered CVI as a possibility really concerned me. Not to mention, I felt like we were wasting time doing nothing! So, I asked our Developmental Specialist to set us up with the EI Vision Specialist.
It took a couple of months, but finally we saw her this week. She brought a bag full of "tools" to our house – spiral gift ribbons, shiny sheets of duct tape, craft paper with black and white designs, some strands of silver Christmas garland, clear pouches filled with gel colors. Lots of interesting stuff for Beckett to look (or not to look) at. Our Dev. Specialist and PT came to the appointment too, which was very helpful to have another set of eyes and ears to interpret all the info. She started with the pouches. I am really not describing these well. They are like clear sheet protectors, but filled with water and colored oil-kind of lava lamp style-that moves around when she holds them up…does that help you get more of a visual?? One set was more simple – just red color, just yellow color, then one with red and blue dots that floated around. The other set had pink and green color, glitter, little shapes – a bit more going on. She said one set was for CVI and the other was for straight vision impairment. I really didn't grasp which was which, but Beckett certainly preferred the more simple ones, plain color and the dots. The others seemed too busy and he did all he could to not look at them. We told her how much he loved outdoors so we took him outside and walked around. She seemed surprised at the things he focused in on, like the contrasting white trim on the house. He "scans" quite a bit, which she actually said is not really scanning but more of him switching focus. I guess scanning is what we want to build up to. Anyway, it was a lot of info, and I still am not sure what we should be doing to help him see better, but we have another appointment with her next week. Jimmy says she didn't officially say he has CVI, but maybe his brain is still catching up. I felt overwhelmed so didn't really process all that went on, plus had a squirming toddler on my lap wanting to read books the whole time, so I was a bit distracted.
After this appointment, I spent even more time on Google looking up CVI outcomes and stumbled across this blog. Her daughter experienced a trauma at 3 months and they are going through some similar things. While our stories are different, she somehow seems to articulate so much of what I'm feeling. Her strength and faith are simply amazing and and something I often need to be reminded of. Here's one posts in particular that I can really relate to…
"I often hear complaints from other Mom's about my kid won't stop doing this or drives me nuts when they do that. My heart clenches at the thought of their complaints being something I am desperate for my Elena to do. It's no fault of their own, but it does make me stop to think how silly my own complaints are sometimes. And that there is most definitely someone, somewhere who would gladly assume the situation I'm complaining about. It is a reminder that even though we've been dealt a difficult situation, we really have SO much more to be thankful for than to complain about."
I couldn't agree more. I see posts almost daily on facebook (yes, I'm a facebook stalker) from friends with kids around Beckett's age doing all the things a child at that age should. I'm thrilled that they're happy and thriving and meeting milestone after milestone, yet it's a constant reminder of how far behind we're falling. At the same time, I'm so thankful that we have Beckett here with us and that he's making progress. I know he could be much worse off, or not here at all, so I accept the little blessings and pray for strength, progress, and patience. This "wait and see" is the hardest part, and quite exhausting, but we'll get through it.
I know this post is a bit more Debbie Downer than my usual posts. I really do try to keep our energy positive, but sometimes the endless doctor appointments and uncertainty get the better of me and I feel a little blah. Today is one of those days (though watching that Debbie Downer sketch helped a little!). Thank goodness it's Friday!

I wanted to finish my Blurb book before we moved… so I did! I turned my 366 Day Photo Blog into a book. I made a 13×11 large landscape version for myself (I wanted a big coffee table book) and a smaller 10×8 version that is more affordable. Gotta love Blurb!

I know this isn't a normal post for me, but for many of you that have been following my 366 project for a while now, or have seen my other blog – From The Attic – you know my Nana has some amazing items from her travels around the world. I've photographed a good deal of them for this project, and her actual travel photographs are in my From The Attic Blog.
She's been clearing out box after box and my sisters and I got to have what we wanted, but there is still so much left over. We told her she should sell her precious items so she would have some extra money; then she asked if we would do it for her. :)
So that's what my sister and I are doing. I know there are a lot of artists and travelers who collect cool things, that follow this blog so I figured I'd share the link to our Etsy shop. Maybe you'll see something you like.

For the next 7 days I've got an Uncle, Aunt, and 3 cousins visiting. The normal Northern Arizona tours will be given to Sedona, Flagstaff, and the Grand Canyon. So I may be late on my pictures, since I'll be up north. But I'll update my daily pictures at least by next Wednesday. See you guys later!

I hate titling things. In school some teachers would force you to title your work. I usually did the whole "Untitled 1," "Untitled 2," etc. Only because, sometimes I would name it one thing and then BOOM, it became something else to me. So I had floating titles. I am currently trying to "title" this project on the Blurb book that I am making with these pictures. So far I've got:
A Leap Year of Photos
A Leap Year in Photos
365 Day Project Turned 366 Day Project
366 Days of Photos
One Photographer's Year In Pictures
2012: A Year In Photographs
A Photo A Day: 2012
Any other ideas? Any of these any good?

Hello everyone who reads my blog! Quick aside from my 365 Day Photo Project. I've collaborated with my younger sister to help her raise money for her upcoming mission trips. I've edited the photos she took on her last mission trip and have put them up on my website. Every penny earned from the sale of her photographs goes straight to funding her future mission trips. She currently has one coming up in March 2012. So buy a photo, or donate straight to her, and you'll be helping her get that much closer to doing some good over in Rwanda. Thank you!!

It's not exactly common for two sisters to experience a simultaneous meteoric rise to stardom, but prima ballerinas Lorena and Lorna Feijóo aren't your average siblings. Though the pair danced side by side nearly their entire lives, not an ounce of competition exists between them; only a profound admiration and sisterly bond that defies the distance and years between them.
I met with Lorena and Lorna at their Coral Gables hotel, in town promoting Milk's Somos Fuertes campaign. Today, Lorena is a principal dancer at the San Francisco Ballet, and Lorna is an international guest artist performing all over the world.
The pair is as close as ever. Lorna and Lorena seemed more like twins than merely sisters; their obvious closeness would manifest itself throughout the hour we spent chatting in their room, discussing everything from their childhood to their strengths as dancers and the things they miss about Cuba.
Older sister Lorena was drawn to ballet after years of watching her mother, herself an accomplished ballerina and choreographer."Since I was a little girl I was exposed to theater and music, and I loved watching my mother dance," she told the New Times. But an education in ballet in Cuba isn't typical compared to the United States, and Lorena's mother was hesitant to allow her daughter to proceed.
"Ballet in Cuba forces you to grow up really fast, it's very competitive, the hours are grueling, so she was against it at first," she said.
At the Ballet Nacional de Cuba, helmed by the legendary ballerina Alicia Alonso, pupils aren't accepted until they're at least nine years old, when it's perceived they have the sufficient physical ability and mental capacity to absorb formal artistic training in ballet. The education is all-encompassing – those accepted to the ballet take their primary subjects there, in addition to taking on intensive courses in arts and language. Painting, drama, and French are central tenets for aspiring ballerinas in Cuba.
Lorena waited patiently for the chance to audition at the school, unwavering in her desire to become a ballerina like her mother. But her sister Lorna's course of study was a bit more tenuous. "I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. Moving my body came very naturally to me, and I thought I would just do a bit of everything and decide later. But once I started watching my sister dance, I was mesmerized. I knew I wanted to dance, too."
At first, their mother discouraged the idea of the two of them dancing ballet, for fear the competition would pit the sisters against one another. But she wound up being their most important critic; her trained eye corrected not just their technique but helped to shape their individual style. "She encouraged us to find who we were as dancers, and our training taught us how to bring that person out," the sisters agree. While their mother tried not to pay too much attention at school - she was a choreographer at the ballet and didn't want to jog suspicions of nepotism should the girls succeed – she managed to instill her own critiques without being overly obsessive.
Training at the Ballet Nacional de Cuba was certainly rigid, but the Feijóo sisters maintain that it's their training that allowed them to both become principal dancers at internationally acclaimed ballets. Receiving direction from one of the world's most celebrated ballerinas certainly didn't hurt either. "She knew exactly what she wanted from you... [Alonso] trained you to understand the character and to really feel who you needed to become, and that's something that's just not done at companies here in the United States," Lorna said. Regardless, it was Alonso's rigidity and adherence to classical ballet styles that ultimately resulted in Lorena's decision to relocate to the United States.
"Every year an International Dance Festival would arrive in Cuba, and dancers from all over the world would put together choreographies for us, which really thrilled me and showed me another side of ballet. But I realized that there would never be contemporary ballet in Cuba – Alicia stuck to the classics, staging Giselle, Swan Lake, and Don Quixote – and I knew that if I wanted to dance something else, I would need to leave," she said. Lorena left the Ballet Nacional de Cuba in 1990, 12 years before her sister would follow suit.

Lorena's departure did not please Alonso, who staunchly supports the Communist party and Fidel Castro. As a result, Lorena has never been invited to perform in Cuba again, despite efforts by her colleagues to secure her return. But Lorena maintains that her reason for leaving the Ballet had nothing to do with politics, rather everything to do with her career.
"As a ballerina in Cuba, you don't live like the rest of the Cuban population. You get to go to places they can't, move in circles they're forbidden
"The public in Cuba knows the dance and they almost train you for it. It's not like here, where the curtain closes and everyone runs to their car and barely stays for applause. It's electrifying to dance before our audience in Cuba because of their passion," the sisters said, practically simultaneously. We might consider taking a page out of their playbook.

Lux Q and R Hitboxes
I've noticed this while testing the ranges of her abilities. Her q does stretch beyond it's hitbox (it hits, while it passe just a bit the lenght of the indicator). I'm not so sure about her ult, her indicator also seems off - The indicator clearly shows the ult should hit, but it passes right by without doing damage). Both her hitboxes and indicators need to be fixed. I tested all of these on her Elementalist skin

YES! It happened to me to. What's up with that? It's actually really annoying.
It's a known bug. I'm not entirely sure if it's the new HP bars' fault (although this seems to be the cause at the moment), but many things are really bugged right now. Mana doesn't properly show, Kled/Skaarl's health bars are not mish mashed, Rengar's health goes to negative values; it's a circus.
dont report guys, which cant connect (it sometimes happen, i know it), all others u can report. {{sticker:fiora-cool}}
I've personally had issues connecting to the game today. PBE felt very very unstable. First game it took 5+mins for PBE to actually connect and another 2 minutes to load. When it finally loaded me into the game I got booted out for AFKing (It wasn't a good game). Then the last game I played I got the loading screen error just not letting me into the game. It sucks, and I don't want my team to feel like I bailed on them. But my hands are tied, there's nothing I can do :/
I'm just stating facts. Not calling a whole country bad or blaming them. Just saying that 90% of the toxic people I come across on PBE are Turkish. That's all I'm saying.

If this went over by your head then there's no point in continuing this discussion.
To be honest, im actually Turkish and mainly playing on EUW just because Turkish player base is mostly "panicky", and they can blame you so hard for making even hard to avoid mistakes. However, toxicity is a problem with almost every single region, so really, there's no reason to blame a single region. I have seen many players on EUW being toxic as well, and im pretty sure everyone here meets hard-toxics on their live accounts. What I say is just do what suggested [on this comment.](https://boards.pbe.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/general-pbe-feedback/Px78rEAE-in-it-for-free-stuff?comment=0000) Edit: I also strongly agree what you said there > [{quoted}](name=xEnchantedPBE,realm=PBE,application-id=cMKtzQHY,discussion-id=BGzVGYNt,comment-id=0002000000000000,timestamp=2017-10-23T21:01:49.175+0000) > It's not very fun to judge an entire population based on the 1% of bad apples.
I'm from EUNE, we have plenty of toxic people there as well. I used to be single minded and hate on polish players 4 years ago because I had nothing better to do and it was easier than looking at my own mistakes. I don't care where the players are from. Nationality has nothing to do with whether you're a decent human or not, it's up to you to be that way. Kudos to you for being very mature about our buddy here.
10/24 PBE Thread - Current State of PBE & My Learnings
This is very nice to see. I'm very new to the PBE community but I feel you shouldn't be so apologetic for everything; players being toxic and the store and load problems were things that were quite out of your control. Still, it's very nice to see that Riot banfhammer is so dedicated to the community and making sure everybody has a good time testing. To be frank, even if I'm very new to the PBE environment, I already feel so welcomed here. You've been working very hard to handle the new wave of players and the issues that came with it; you have all my appreciation Mr. banfhammer. {{sticker:vlad-salute}}
Heya- I don't want to ban people based upon why they are here (unless it is because they are negative players). It is too hard to judge why a person is doing something. In addition, some days I play on PBE because I want to see new content. Some days I play because I love the PBE community. We all have different reasons, and I am accepting of our different types of players. No matter what, I'm going to smash all of you in-game anyway. :)
Is that a challenge? Even with my 500+ lame European ping I'll wreck you. 1v1 me m8
Yeah it happens that i know something that can help you And that thing is starting to read pbe updates since this is a known bug and it's useless if people like you post without beforehand reading
That and if you're using Discord, being part of the Unofficial PBE Discord server helps a lot. This has been a known bug for about 2-3 days and I personally found out thanks to people on Discord who let us know shortly before Riot made a post on boards telling the players about it. Sorry to piggy back off your comment, but the server is very good to keep up with the newest bugs/problems on the server if you're not very keen on reading the boards.
Has anyone else noticed that the toxicity is carrying over from the actual game into these threads. I'm looking through and I see all these clickbait toxic things on the forums but I don't think theres much to be done about that. I am one of these people who only got in because of being Honor Level 3 and never being reported and I only got it yesterday but I actually look forward to beta testing and trying out the new stuff while giving feedback. I find it annoying that people are carrying there toxicity over into PBE because PBE is supposed to help the game get better not to listen to kids who want to get cool new stuff and win matches.
Like somebody above said, some people that are joining with this new wave of sign ups are not entirely used to testing. I've played only 2 pvp matches so far (and more doombots because I had less lag) and I've had people feed and complain in both those 2 pvp matches. Doombots was no different. Spam pinged when dying, enemy missing ping, you name it. Some are here for the free stuff. Others want to help Riot test. I've been waiting to have a PBE account again so I can be part of the community that helps Riot deliver all that really cool and as flawless as possible content on live. Let the flaming kids flame and don't mind them. Since PBE reports are taken more seriously most people that have been furiously typing at their keyboards will be soon leaving the PBE.

You're being very biased because you've only met Turkish people who are toxic so far. It's not very fun to judge an entire population based on the 1% of bad apples.
Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I wanted to ask about the galio changes on PBE. currently his Q percentage of max health damage is 9% per 100 AP and i was curious weather this was intended or not. I was guessing it was a typo since late game with a full ap build having an ability do 70% max health damage seems insanely strong. Is that intended?
This might not be the best place to ask, but I'm sure you making a separate thread will certainly have a higher chance of getting an answer.
Especially with those lags in the loot right? I mean the 20 second waiting between opening any chest.
"Loot is misbehaving this morning, we are working on it." They know loot is being a problem and they're fixing it. No need to be passively aggressively rude about it m8 :v {{sticker:sg-lulu}}
Will the rp and be stack? or will it be reset to 3k rp and 5 be daily? When I say stacking I mean that all remaining rp and be will be added together eg. buying a 975 skin leaving you with 2025 rp will it become 5075 rp?? thanks in advance {{champion:497}} {{champion:498}}
He said it resets so probably if you have 2025 RP the next time you log in after 24 hrs you'll be back at 3.3K (most likely because stackable BE and RP will enable large shopping sprees again which is the reason store and loot broke in the first place.) Probably best course of action to maximize your testing experience is to spend your RP/BE as much as you need everyday{{sticker:slayer-pantheon-thumbs}}

Underplayed & Overlooked: Codex Space Wolves
Welcome back to Underplayed & Overlooked. Today we look at the most wolf flavored of the Emperor's finest: the Space Wolves. Lets begin. Ulrik the Slayer
- Cost: 5
- Offense: 4
- Defense: 3
- Support: 5
Looking at the cost I first had to break him down against other Unique characters of which he is the second cheapest. Then I compared him to a regular Wolf Priest and found that the point difference was more that made up by the difference of stats and abilities. He is a bargain in my opinion.
Offensively he is better than a regular Wolf Priest in every way. +2 WS, +1 BS +1 Initiative and +1 Attack is a significant improvement over the base model. For ranged he packs a Plasma Pistol that will be hitting on a 2+. For close combat he packs a power weapon and if the target is Toughness 5 or more he will be getting to reroll To Hit and To Wound rolls.
Defensively he is identical to a Wolf Priest. He has a 3+ Armor Save and a 4+ Invulnerable Save. This is a place where the base Wolf Priest has an advantage with it's ability to take Terminator Armor or a Bike.
This character has a multiple Support abilities going for it. Lets break it down. For starters the squad he joins gets to reroll To Hit and To Wound against enemies that are Toughness 5 or greater. He also gives one other non Unique character in your army +1 WS (to a max of 6) to represent his substantial training skills.
Additionally like a regular Wolf Priest he provides defense from Psychic Powers negating ones that target the squad on a 5+ as well as making the squad Fearless. Lastly he allows any other Space Wolf unit that can see him to reroll their failed Leadership tests and enemy Independent Characters who want to allocate any attacks against him in Assault must first pass a Leadership check or lose their attacks for the round.
Canis Wolfborn
- Cost: 4
- Offense: 4
- Defense: 2
- Support: 2
Starting with his cost he is the third cheapest Unique character in book. Additionally while there is some stat shifting he does wind up ahead in a lot of important areas compared to a Wolf Lord with the same upgrades. So while he is not a completely no brainer choice he is still more than decent for his cost.
Offensively he lacks a ranged attack though he is a literal beast in close combat. He has 5 Attacks Base with Strength 5 at Initiative 5. In addition his twin Wolf Claws are power weapons that allow him to reroll To Hit or To Wound before dice are rolled.
Lastly he has Rending and can choose to exchange his Attack Characteristic from 5 to be the same number of models which are in base to base with him. Given that he comes on a large base I could see this yielding quite a few attacks in certain situations.
Defensively he is two third of the way there. He has a 3+ Armor Save, Toughness 5 and 3 Wounds which is great. But he lacks an Invulnerable Save. This alone means he is just a few power weapon attacks away from becoming some squads new fur rug. That is a pretty big downside in my opinion.
From a Support perspective I think that while he does make Fenrisian Wolves much better by giving them Leadership 8 and Initiative 5 it doesn't make up for him having Leadership 8. That is a pretty low score for any Space Marine character. If Fenrisian Wolves could score or contest an objective he would get a rating of 3 but I just cant quite justify it with what he brings to the table.
Arjac Rockfist
- Cost: 2
- Offense: 4
- Defense: 4
- Support: 3
Looking at his cost he is the fourth cheapest Unique character in the book. Though comparing him to other cheaper Unique characters as well as Wolf Guard in general and he comes out being quite expensive in my opinion.
Offensive he is strong. For a ranged attack he can throw his Thunderhammer which is a Strength 10 AP1 shot with 6" range that hits on 2+. If that rings the bell of a vehicle it is not likely to be too happy with the result.
For Close Combat he is armed with a Thunderhammer and Storm Shield operating at Strength 10. Though he also gets an additional bonus Attack on the charge giving him 5 attacks total when he throws himself into the fray. Not bad at all.
Defensively he is almost perfect. 2+ Armor Save, 3+ Invulnerable Save and Eternal Warrior. But he only has 2 Wounds. If he had 3 Wounds or Toughness 5 he would have gotten a rating of 5.
Rounding out Lysander Jr. he is able to join a number of different squads thanks to being a Wolf Guard and to that squad he would bring Leadership 9 with Stubborn. Not to mention his ability to absorb some damage for them.
Lukas the Trickster
- Cost: 1
- Offense: 3
- Defense: 3
- Support: 2
He is the cheapest character in the book and he still isn;t worth his points in my opinion. He can lead a Blood Claw Pack for the low low cost of an entire squad of 10 Blood Claws. Is he 10 Blood Claws worth of awesome? No. Not even close.
Offensively he has a Plasma Pistol for Ranged attacks hitting on 2+. For Close Combat he has a Wolf Claw and 3 Attacks at Strength 4 and Initative 5. This is pretty comparable to other characters in the book and so he nets an Average score.
Defensively he has a 3+ Armor Save and 2 Wounds. In addition in Assault you have to reroll successful To Hit attacks against him which is nice. But he lacks Eternal Warrior or an Invulnerable Save making him just average even taking into account a pack of ablative Blood Claws.
His Last Laugh ability doesn't quite fit in with either Defense of Offense. When he dies you roll a single die against your opponent which means there is a 50/50 chance that if you win the roll all models in base to base with Lukas when he dies are just removed from play.
While this is a really cool and thematic ability you cant depend on it and given that he could be taken out fairly easily by regular infantry there wont be much of a reason for someone to risk an expensive character to go after him. I think his points cost reflects this ability heavily and it just isn't that valuable in my opinion.
Lastly for Support he does make the Blood Claw Pack he is a part of lose its irksome Headstrong ability which is nice. But he caps their Leadership at 8 regardless of who else is in the unit. Additionally he brings in a Wolf Tail Talisman for the 5+ negation of Psychic Powers that target the squad. So he helps and hinders which makes sense for the character but he isn't bringing much else to the table.
Come around and see us next time for my review of Codex: Imperial Guard.

Subminiature Photo Camera Watches - Spy WatchesOnce I think I've seen everything, somebody alerts me a mind-blowing gadget like this Steineck Subminiature Wrist-camera. Thanks to Max Busser, founder of MB&F Horological Machines who shared his find from a vintage watch store in Lugano, Switzerland. Needless to say, I've been obsessed these antique spy gadgets for the last few days and have uncovered a secret force of "Submini" wrist-cameras. A wide array of styles existed over many different eras, originating in 1907 with a pocket watch camera. Others were fit into rings, some were undisguised miniature cameras fit onto a wristband but my favorite remains the Steineck, with its robotic cyclops face and potential for Captain Kirk-ian prop-weaponry!
It all began with these patent designs from 1907 for the first concealed camera in a pocket watch. Later marketed as the "Ticka" with dummy watch face permanently set at 7 minutes past 10 o'clock indicating the viewing angle making it possible to use without the detachable viewfinder. Exposing unsuspecting subjects on a cassette of 17.5mm film and the lens is hidden by the watch crown.
An original Ticka with packaging
Ticka's fixed 7-past-10 dummy dial
The above mentioned Steineck produced from the late forties into the fifties. Invented by Dr. Rudolph Steineck of Switzerland and highly regarded as one of the better quality subminiature cameras made. Uses a 24mm circular film disk and automatic film advance. The viewfinder is a reflex concave mirror with a sharp centre line pointer, which permits sighting from above when the camera, worn on the wrist, is held in picture-taking position. Through the centre of the camera is a hole, an alternative direct-vision viewfinder.
A complex mechanism
The worlds first wrist-camera was created by Japanese inventor, Jujiro Ichiki in 1939.
1950s Pixie Wrist Camera
Tessina with watch attachment
Also from 1981, the Italian Ferro Ring camera. Very high quality and even had accessories. The lens was a fixed-focus 10mm with a variable shutter of B, 1/30 - 1/500. It takes special 25mm diameter discs of film and produces six 4.5x6mm images.
1960 Tessina Cameras featured the only subminiature watch that uses standard 35mm film but is the size of 16mm cameras. A rare version exisits for the wristand one with a Swiss watch attachment . Made up of 400 parts and built by Concava of Switzerland, the Tessina was also designed and patented by Dr. Rudolph Steineck.

Sleeping under the stars–report from Senegal
Dear friends and family,
I'm back from Senegal, and I have to say, I'm really digging the fall weather! Senegal was miserably hot, which made for an exhausting trip. The good news is that the back- to -back workshops went very well. Our first workshop was in the town of Ziguinshor. We had to start the workshop two days late because of the recent unrest in the area. We were warned repeatedly not to take the taxi because rebels and bandits had been known to rob (and sometimes kill) people on the way to Ziguinshor. Because of that, we decided to take the boat, but unfortunately, the boat was already booked, which is why we had to catch the next one, which didn't leave until Tuesday evening. Eventually we got there (after a night of sleeping out under the stars) and we were able to make up for the lost time.
On one of the days, a Muslim came in to the church and participated in the stories and discussions for an entire day! Although the workshop was for Christian workers, the Muslim man was one of the most enthusiastic participants, which turned out to be a great object lesson because one of the premises of the workshop is that telling Bible stories and asking questions is a non-threatening way to share the gospel.
The workshop in Dakar brought a very select group of pastors and missionaries. Many of the pastors came from the rural areas. We were told that most of them lived off of $20 a month. Imagine that! The response to the teaching was very positive. One particular pastor told me that he planned to teach the story concept to his evangelism team to enhance their ongoing ministry in the villages. There were also some Western missionaries, including a team of Brazilians, in attendance. Every one of them told us that the teaching we were offering would enhance their ministry.
Next week I'll be going to Portland Oregon to present a workshop session on evangelizing oral learners at the Innovative Evangelism Conference, organized by the Next Generation Alliance, a sub-ministry of the Luis Palau Evangelistic Association. I am very excited—and honored—to be able to participate this year as a workshop presenter. Please pray that I'll do my job effectively and that more doors will open for this ministry as a result of the presentation.
Well that's all for now.
Have a great November!

In today's economy, it can be difficult to have the money you need when you need it. Because of this, payday loan agencies were born. Basically, these are centers where you can apply, and hopefully, get approved for a short-term and low-interest loan. As we will discuss in this article, there are some qualifications that you must meet and there is a process which must be undertaken. Let's take a look at what cash advance loans Torrance CA are as well as their benefits.
How Can You Qualify?
The good news about payday loans is that you really don't need to do much in order to "qualify". Usually, all that you need is a steady job and some proof of general information like your address and phone number. The reason that payday agencies will ask for this info is because they need to determine whether or not you are someone who can and will pay off the loan. Here is some of the information that you will need:
- § Proof of Age
- § Proof of Address and Phone Number
- § Proof of Active Checking Account
- § Social Security Number
These are really the main things that cash advance loans Torrance CA will ask you for. And this is what they will use to determine whether or not you are someone who is capable of paying off the loan.
What Are the Benefits?
There are really a huge amount of benefits associated with getting a payday loan. And while some people see them as a mistake, the truth is that they are relatively safe and can help you in tough financial situations. With that being said, let's take a look at some of the benefits that you will receive with payday loans:
- § Simplicity: It can be a huge hassle going to the bank and trying to get a loan. Aside from the fact that qualifying can be difficult, there is often a lot of paperwork to be done. Payday loans are very simple and all that you would need to do is provide some simple information to get your money.
- § Low Interest: The majority of loans that you get today will have high interest rates. After all, this is how the agencies make their money. With payday loans, you don't have to pay that much interest on the initial capital. This makes it much easier to pay back once the money is due.
- § Convenience: Sometimes, it can feel good just knowing that you are going to have extra money until payday. If your bills are due and you don't get paid till say, Friday (and it is Monday), then you can simply get a payday loan and not have to worry about it until your next paycheck arrives.
No Credit Checks Required
Credit checks often make or break a bank's decision to give people loans. It happens all of the time. It works like this: if you don't have superb credit then banks won't even consider providing you a loan. The great part about payday loans is that they require no such thing. And this is something that should make people with bad credit very happy.
The reason that these payday loans don't require credit checks is because first off, they aren't lending that much money away. The majority of the time the amount of money being lent is only about $1000 (often times less). Plus, payday loan agencies understand that there is definitely a market for low-interest, short-term loans- which are why they don't do credit checks.
Security and Discreet
Payday loans are secure and discreet. This is why they are so many people are attracted to them. By secure, we mean that nobody is going to see your financial or personal information without your consent. When applying for a payday loan on the Internet, all of your information will be encrypted and will never be seen by others.
By discreet, we mean that there is no need to call people for references when you apply for a payday loan. In terms of privacy, this can be very helpful and allow you to feel secure knowing that nobody else is going to know about the loan besides you. Between security and discreet, you should have no problem keeping your personal information private.
Applying in Person vs. Applying Online
A lot of people believe that there are huge differences between applying in person and applying online. The truth is that applying in person and applying online are not different. Both of them are going to ask you for personal information as well as information that will allow them to determine whether or not you'll be able to pay off the loan.
However, the good part about going online is that it is much quicker and much simpler. When you apply online, you'll be able to get many more applications finished. And since it is much easier to do online, you'll be much more likely to qualify for a specific loan. Plus, it will be much easier on you knowing that all of your information is conveniently located on your computer.
How Long Before You Have to Pay Back a Loan?
More times than not, you will need to pay back your loan within two weeks. The reason for this is because most people get paid bi-weekly. And since they get paid via this schedule it is much easier for them to pay the loan off once the contract expires. Also note that the same timeframe holds true for people who apply online.
As you can see, there are many benefits associated with cash advance loans Torrance CA. People use them all the time when they are in rough financial situations because they work. They are simplistic and require little personal information to qualify for. And the best part is that you don't need to have a perfect credit score. As a matter of fact, even a bad credit can still land you a loan as long as you are meeting the other qualifications.

Oh those Detroit rockers. For my money, Punk basically started with the MC5's Kick Out The Jams along with the Stooges' Stooges. Debate with me if you want, I won't follow it up. Back In The USA is the second album by this group of faster than fuck rockin' dudes. It's much cleaner than the first album, and plays much like a Chuck Berry tribute record. It's the softest of their 3 records, bu it's also the most accomplished, and sounds the most like an actual album. Regardless if it's 5 stars or 4 stars or whatever, it definitely influenced the power pop and punk sounds that were around the corner. Wayne Davis wrote a great review in 1972, a couple years after the album was released. I'll just post that.
I could well be the world's foremost authority on this LP. On the way it sounds, at least, having played it in it's entirely between three hundred and five hundred (who counts?) times. In fact, I just saw this record in a cut out rack which suggested two things to me--(1) I'd better replace my worn out copy now while I can still find it (I did) and (2) WHAT THE HELL IS THE GREATEST AMERICAN ROCK 'N' ROLL ALBUM OF MODERN HISTORY DOING IN A CUT OUT RACK??
I'll tell you why. Because it didn't sell, that's why. And that's a pity, too, because here's an LP that absolutely DRIPS brilliance off its grooves. An LP that, had it been a hit in early 1970 when it was released, would have been influential enough to have spawned a whole flock of blessfully incompetent imitations & thereby change the course of musical history forever. Or if not forever , then at least for a couple of years, anyway. Long enough to ensure that turning on the radio in early 1972 wouldn't have to be the real drag that it usually is.
It doesn't help, really, that most of the critics who literally blasted the shit out of this album have come back to it now. Now it's a bargain bin oldie, when it could have been a real landmark record. It got the shaft for all kinds of reasons, all of which had one thing in common: none of them had anything to do with the music contained on the album. And that's all that counts! If I told you that the Rolling Stones were hippie cult murderers who supported the Vietnam war & were responsible for 85% of the world's pollution, would it make BETWEEN THE BUTTONS sound any different ? Nope. it might make you stop listening to it, but it wouldn't change the fact that it's a great album. Well,. that may be hypothetical (maybe not) but the point is this: all that counts is what happens when that needle hits the grooves, and nothing else.
I mean people were criticising this record because it signified that the MC5 wanted to be pop- stars, because the MC5 deserted John Sinclair because the lyrics contained no revolutionary rhetoric, because Jon Landau was producing it (rock critic envy on that one) and because--this one floors me-- IT WAS PRETENTIOUS. Pretentious ? What on earth is pretentious about a great rock and roll band trying to make a great rock and roll album? It might be pretentious for Simon & Garfunkel or James Taylor to try it, BUT THE MC5? WHAT ELSE COULD THEY DO?
Listen gang, I'm here to tell you DON'T PAY ANY ATTENTION TO THESE ROCK CRITICS! What do they know? Not one of'em has bought an album in the last four years, they all get free copies. What do they know about spending your last four bucks on some supposed masterpiece, only to get home & find out it's a dud ? Nothing, that's what! And don't listen to me, either, in a couple of months when FLASH is on everybody's promo lists. But right now, we're not and I paid the full fare for BACK IN THE USA and just a couple of days ago spent another two bucks for a fresh copy out of the cut out racks, so I've given Atlantic Records six bucks and what they given me?
A great, great album. Man, I just love it. It's been #1 in this house for almost two years and playing it is a daily ritual, just like brushing your teeth or lighting up a cigarette in the morning.
After three or four hundred plays, one no longer hears it as merely a brilliantly executed rock and roll extravaganza; it becomes more, somehow. Sort of like the Band's second album. It's a portrait of America, but not the civil-war America that the Band dealt with which nobody alive today can relate to or refute, but 1960-70 America, the one everybody lives in. And instead of another "America Eats It" album, this one's a rock 'n' roll celebration of everything that's made us great. It's about McDonald's and jukeboxes, and fast cars, and highschool, and teenage lust, and basically HAVING FUN. You know, all the things that so many intellectuals have been trying to tell you was WRONG with America, that it has no culture, no depth, no tradition, no class. You know, the same type of people who don't dig the Seeds. .Well, fuck them, Jack, this may be the hamburger culture, but it's the only thing we've ever known so those of us who dig it should tell these assholes to beat it--to go read a book or something for crissakes, to just LEAVE US ALONE. We wanna have some fun!
(Hey, wait a minute. Is this a record review or is this a THINLY VEILED POLITICAL DIATRIBE??)
Yeah, 'cause this record is chock full of real honest-to-goodness authentic NEW American rock 'n' roll, and we haven't had any since the original kings stepped down. Or at least since the Beach Boys started meditating and the Standells hung up their guitar picks. None of this British shit. Give the English credit for copying American rock so well, from the DC5 to Shakin' Stevens &. the Sunsets to the Beatles-- I dig it, they're all great. They remembered what we forgot, and earn our thanks for that. But who could be better qualified to write and sing rock and roll than one of us?
Well it sure ain't some late-blooming adolescent in England who was eating tea & crumpets five years ago while reading about gardening and had ever-so- nice manners while training as an apprentice baker so he could perhaps raise his social status that they're all so concerned with. Wouldn't you rather hear it from a bunch of American punks like yourself who've eaten at McDonald's and spent whole portions of their life cruisin' down Shakin' Street, and gone to highschool and dodged the draft? A bunch of kids who grew up in a land where rock and roll was a daily reality through a six inch speaker and not a rumor floating off the coast in a pirate radio station, or a half- hour a day thrill on the BBC.
What they need over there is a string of beautiful McDonald's & Jack In The Boxes. & Shakey's Pizza Palaces & Bob' s Big Boys and all the-rest, from coast to coast. I mean if they're really serious about playing our music, well then they're just gonna have to understand what it's all about. They're WRONG, see. And now we're paying for the fact that we paid so much attention to them for the last six years because by and large they've grown tired of altering the old American jams of 15 years ago and have gone back to the only music they can REALLY understand: the Elton John. Cat Stevens, new John Lennon, Paul McCartney type of English schmaltz/folk/ballad shit. But for some inexplicable reason these radio programmers & record companies still think that England is fab or something and when they're not dominating the charts, then their influence is.
Who needs Cat Stevens and his "Peace Train " or Lennon's "Imagine?" Not only are they lousy rock songs (which disqualifies them right off the bat) but they're so incredibly simple minded that they constitute a massive insult to the intelligence of anyone old enough to buy a transistor radio. "Everybody wants peace," Nixon says, and for once he's right (maybe everybody but him, but that' s beside the point). But is listening to Cat Stevens going to bring peace any sooner? Oh fuck,no it isn't and we both know this. When everybody wanted a hot rod they gave us hot rod music. So everybody wants peace and they give us peace music. And you can bet your balls that if Cat Stevens had been around back then, he'd have been churning out hot rod music by the truckload. And as for Lennon, who hasn't imagined that kind of world? It would be real nice, sure, BUT IT JUST AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN, and it would be a much healthier country if some more people would accept this. It's just as true as the fact that if you played "Imagine" for your landlord when he wants to know why the rent's two weeks late, that he'd bop you over the head with that fucking album. And with good reason, too, 'cause anybody that really and truly gets off on that song is a daydreaming fop, anyway. That's why they call it "Imagine," isn't it?
The point is this: the Swinging Medallions are smarter, better, and have more respect for you than either Lennon or Stevens because they KNOW that war is evil, that pollution is bad, that it would be really neat to live in a non-mercenary world, and all the rest, but even more important, THEY KNOW THAT YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS. The Swinging Medallions have that all-important awareness, but Lennon and these other clowns think you need this information, they think you're some kind of feeble brained idiot who prefers war to peace! Who prefers soot to clean air! Doesn't this make you mad?
The Swinging Medallions say "fuck it, we both know what's going on, why write a dumbshit folkie song and send out weird vibrations to innocent people, when we can write "Double Shot Of My Baby's Love" and give these kids something to dig forever." And I thank 'em for that.
What does all this have to do with BACK IN THE USA ? A lot, that's what. But I'm not gonna disect it cut by cut, if you try to get clinical with this album it'd get up off the turntable & walk away laughing. Who could blame it?
But just listen to "High School," with it's great cheerleader chorus. Ain't no gear English band in the world who could write a song like that. Eric Clapton may be the best guitarist on earth, but has he ever dated a cheerleader? Or take "Shakin' Street," the best song on the album, all about that estatic drag in your very own home town! I mean, could they get any closer to your own experience? And it's a fantastic song too. Listen to "Tonight," and tell me it wouldn't sound beautiful coming out of an AM radio in your car at 60 m.p.h. And dig the beautifully true lyrics of Chuck Berry' s "Back In The USA" itself:
Looked hard for a drive-in,
Searchin' for a corner cafe,
Where hamburgers sizzle
On an open grill nite & day
Yeah, and the jukebox is jumpin'
With records, like back in the USA!

I sell my last Canon DSLR, the Canon 5DIV. I've been with Canon for nearly 7 years already, and I'm finally making the permanent switch over to Sony. What really sparked this change was the recent firmware updates for the Sigma MC-11 that gave near 1 to 1 performance of my Sigma 120-300 Sport lens on my Sony a9.
Do You Buy Used Camera's and Lenses?
Do you buy used camera's and lenses? I answer a viewer question in today's episode. Typically buying used is a great way to save money. As long as you're careful, the risk involved is pretty small. When I shop, I typically prefer going with eBay, as the buyer is generally protected in the process, and can return the product if their is a problem.Read More

More voices have joined the chorus of condemnation arising from the Chancellor's decision to press ahead with controversial reforms to IR35 legislation and abolish the five per cent tax-free allowance for contracting professionals working in the public sector via personal service companies (PSCs).
Both decisions are widely perceived by industry experts as needless attacks on hardworking contractors, who have thus far been prepared to sacrifice employee benefits such as paid holiday leave, statutory maternity allowance, paid sick leave and employer pension contributions in exchange for modest reductions in tax.
The Chancellor justified removing the five per cent tax-free allowance on the basis that, since the IR35 reforms will move responsibility for determining tax status away from the contractor and onto the intermediary paying the worker's company (recruitment agencies or, in some instances, public sector end-clients), such workers will no longer be responsible for bearing the administrative burden of determining whether IR35 rules apply.
Julia Kermode, CEO of Umbrella Company trade association the Freelancer and Contractor Services Association (FCSA), said that she and her colleagues are furious at the abolition of the five per cent tax-free allowance for off-payroll public sector workers.
She added: "The new complexities around IR35 status means that professional contractors and interims will be forced into making deemed payments throughout the year, which in turn means that they will need more accountancy support going forwards to reconcile their financial affairs, and therefore more justification for the 5% allowance."
Contractor Calculator founder and CEO Dave Chaplin warned recruiters who placed contracting professionals in public sector roles lasting six months or more that they should be managing the change with immediate effect.
He said: "The impact could see people putting up their rates and clients could be lost so it is in the interest of recruiters to ensure that the contractors are outside IR35 – recruiters need to be working with the public sector, hirers and make them aware of the risks ahead."
Chaplin took issue with Mr Hammond's use of the phrase "different levels of tax for people doing the same jobs," which implies that freelancers and contractors are somehow obtaining undue tax advantages. Such a view ignores the fact that these workers are taking the risk of working independently without seeking any employment protections.
Adding to his initial response to the Autumn Statement, the CEO of IPSE (the Association of Independent Professionals and the Self-Employed), Chris Bryce, described the IR35 decision as an unfair measure that will prove so damaging that IPSE has no intention to stop being vocal about it, pointing out its flaws and holding the Government accountable to ensure that it acknowledges the problems it will cause.

PHOTO: The Spring Hill Raiders football team release balloons into the sky in honor of former coach William Fisher on Friday night // Photo by Alexander Willis
Balloons flew high following an emotional football game Friday between the Spring Hill Raiders and the Riverdale Warriors, all in honor of the Raiders' assistant football coach William Fisher, who passed away last Sunday.
"Football coaches are supposed to be hard and rugged," said Riley Hager, a wide receiver for the Raiders. "I think Coach Fisher was the absolute opposite. All he was, was smiles and happy days. We will feel it every single day, no matter what."
— Alexander Willis (@ReporterWillis) September 8, 2018
Fisher passed away last Sunday morning at the age of 33 of a suspected heart attack. He had been teaching and coaching at Spring Hill High School for roughly four years at the time of his passing and had also previously taught at Riverdale High School.
While the Raiders suffered a significant loss to the Warriors Friday night with a final score of 49-6, the loss of Fisher seemed to have stung the hardest, with players and coaches gathering together in remembrance after the game.
"I applaud the guys for coming out and playing," said Raiders head football coach Ben Martin.
"Obviously everybody was hurting, [and] I think that was obvious there at the end when we let some emotions go, but we did want to do it in honor of Will. Great coach, even better person."
Fisher's family, fellow coaches and players all gathered on the field after the game, holding orange balloons while listening to a performance of "Amazing Grace" by the Spring Hill High School Band.
At the conclusion of the song, players released their balloons into the sky.
A scholarship fund for Spring Hill students has been started in Fisher's honor, the Coach Will Fisher Scholarship Fund. The program will award students in Spring Hill with scholarship funding for meeting an as-of-yet undetermined criteria.
Art teacher for Spring Hill High, Jennifer Lamb, was at the football game selling t-shirts, all proceeds of which going to the Fisher scholarship fund.
"All of the shirt money goes towards [the] scholarship fund that we're setting up," Lamb said. "Great guy, fun loving… the kids adored him. Great heart, and I think that's what the kids really caught on to."
"He's left a huge void here," Martin said. "We're just going to have to try to find a way to move on and move forward."
Those interested in supporting the Coach Will Fisher Scholarship Fund may contact the Spring Hill High School for details at 931-486-2207.

However there's a hurdle…
Brexit, schmexit, politically who knows what's going to happen?

On a Spring Assist knife, there is no separate button or switch. Instead, you apply pressure to part of the blade to begin the opening process. This is usually a small bump of metal which sticks out under the knife, making it fast and comfortable to use. Once you press on that part of the blade, it automatically opens and locks into place. Since the action of opening the knife is started by pressing the blade metal, instead of a button or switch, it is considered to bypass the laws which ban Switch Blade knives.

Protective Blend Hand Sanitizer
Tabitha Helms
Did you know that alcoholic based hand sanitizer has 62%-65% ethanol in it? If a small child ingested just 2 ounces, it would be like him drinking 3 shots of tequila. Yikes! If you think of how often a child's hand goes in his mouth, it's enough to make you a little more than wary of that easy-access squirt bottle. Even with my Kindergarten class, I have been squirting their hands right before they go out to eat a snack or have lunch. No, the residue is not enough to make them drunk, but still...that can't be good for their little bodies! But don't just think that because you no longer have little ones that you're in the all-clear. Many reports have been submitted of teens purposefully drinking it in order to get drunk. Poison control centers get calls often of alcohol poisoning due to hand sanitizer ingestion.
While no deaths have been recorded on hand sanitizer ingestion and alcoholic based hand sanitizers are not as dangerous when using it on your skin, there are still other more effect and child-friendly alternatives.
Besides all the above information, because of the alcohol content, hand sanitizer is flammable; it says so directly on the bottle! It can cause irritation to your eyes, heighten your UV sensitivity, and dry out your skin. Nothing, not even this nonalcoholic version is as good as soap and water, but if it's unavailable, this is a much friendlier product for you and your kids.
Protective Blend has been tested in universities and found to have a 99.6% effective kill-rate on airborne bacteria. I have used it and experienced it firsthand in keeping my immune system strong, as well as knocking out illnesses at a faster rate than before I started using it. I diffuse it in my classroom all day long during flu season and saw only 2 or 3 students suffer from stomach flu last year compared to the previous year of not diffusing it when only 2 or 3 students didn't get the stomach flu. Aside from diffusing it, I love the throat drops and the toothpaste for regular use.
I wanted to try out making some hand sanitizer with Protective Blend, to see how cost effective it was, and to provide a non-alcoholic alternative that is effective in killing germs. I was so excited when DoTerra Blog provided a recipe for me to try it out!
Yields 3/4 cup
7-1/2 Tablespoons Aloe Vera Gel ($1 for 16 fl oz=$0.23)
1/2 teaspoon Vitamin E oil (You can find it at Walmart and Target! $7 for 3 fl oz=$0.19)
12-15 drops Protective Blend ($32 for 15 ml, which is about 300 drops!=$1.20-$1.50)
5 +/- Tablespoons Water (free!)
Small Squeeze Container(s) (recycled/reused=free!)
Combine Aloe Vera and Vitamin E together. Add Protective Blend. Add water a little at a time and mix until it is smooth, not lumpy or watery. Use a funnel if needed to pour the mixture into your container. It's heavy enough that it pretty much poured from the funnel into the container itself without my coaxing.
Total cost of this recipe: $1.62 for 3/4 c of hand sanitizer (fairly comparable to store prices, huh?) :)
Note: Usually essential oils can't be stored in plastic because the strength of the oil eats away at it and puts all that toxic plastic stuff into your blend. But if they are really diluted as with this aloe vera, you can use a high quality plastic container although glass is always better.

Technology has become an intrinsic part of a human being's life and has transcended the borders and limitations that were once considered insurmountable. It has achieved the unachievable, mastered the unfathomable and penetrated the impenetrable. However, in the recent years, several patterns are discernable that indicate the furthering of technology, first for entertainment and leisure, followed by what is really necessary to improve – the quality of life. IDA and LGDK's research paper on 'Technology and the welfare system' states that the needs of the elderly, disabled and people with chronic diseases have been left behind by technology to facilitate the desires and wishes of the younger demographic, bringing them things like the home theatre system instead of making any significant progress in healthcare before that.
However, over a few years, technology is paving a path to bettering the standard of living in human beings. Slowly, but surely. Women's health care used to be one of those unexplored territories that is now gaining major traction over the past few years. Companies like Ava, Glow, PMS Bites, Prelude, and many more have captured this industry over the past few years and have considerably improved the lives women lead. The future looks no different. Technology seems to be making up for the years of neglect by steam-rolling research and aid to this sector to make strides that will revolutionise women's health further in the coming years.
A pill that can detect breast cancer
Breast cancer is exceptionally common, with one in eight women likely to contract it at some stage in their life. Mammography is a method used to detect this cancer, although it is awfully antiquated. The method misses approximately one in five cancers, with numerous occurrences of false positives in women that screen themselves regularly. Mammography is edging towards being outdated owing to its inability to being able to detect if the cancer is slow-growing or aggressive.
Researchers at the University of Michigan have found a way around this old-fashioned system. They are developing a pill, which when swallowed, will illuminate the tumour when exposed to infrared light. The pill can also help identify the nature of the cancer (aggressive or slow) as it reveals information on the types of molecules present in the tumour. The specific technology used to do this is still under development. The research was led by Greg Thurber, a professor of chemical and biomedical engineering. Thurber and his team are now focusing on diversifying the pill's utility by developing methods to make it identify different kinds of tumours as well. His method could do away with the discomfort and inconvenience a mammography entails and could, possibly, entirely replace it to become the primary method of breast cancer detection.
Using acupressure to relieve menstrual cramps
Cramps, headaches and other discomforts are profusely common ailments faced by women of different age groups during menstruation. The usual ways to treat this, including antibiotics and hormonal contraceptives, can have harsh side-effects.
A recent study indicates that acupressure can largely relieve these symptoms faced by women during their periods. The study showed that an app-guided acupressure treatment, with 221 women participants, showed colossal signs of relief in these participants. Dr Claudia Witt from Institute of Complementary and Integrative Medicine in Switzerland led the study. She found that the majority of women undergoing these symptoms are between the ages of 18-35, these women already extensively use their smartphones throughout the day. The app for guided acupressure to relieve periods, called AKUD, would easily fit into their daily schedules and would provide them with the much-needed self-assistance to ease their pain. Most women noted a 50% or higher reduction in the symptoms of menstruation that they faced earlier. Caroline Smith, an acupressure researcher at Western Sydney University in Australia is currently developing an app that integrates the nuances of the study for mass distribution.
App to detect health complications in pregnant women
Researchers at Purdue University are working towards developing an app and a wearable device that can successfully detect a serious health complication in pregnant women which could lead to harmful conditions in their unborn child or themselves. The condition being sought out by the app and wearable's sensors is preeclampsia, a complication caused by high blood pressure that can cause grave problems like organ failure or premature birth. Craig Goergen, assistant professor at Purdue's Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering is leading this research. He believes that this invention could radically reduce the number of premature births and prevent further complications in expecting mothers and their children.
The researchers have gained much acclaim and have received support and funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. WHO has estimated that almost 10% of all maternal deaths in Asia and Africa and 25% in Latin America are associated with hypertensive disorders during pregnancy. They believe that these deaths can be easily avoided altogether with prevention and early detection. Currently, the Purdue researchers are on the hunt for companies with technological expertise, who they can partner with to further enhance and perfect the technology.
Technology has geared up to change the face of healthcare and human well-being. Women, especially in the remote areas of the world, require all the assistance that can be dispensed. Technology is a powerful entity that can reach the unseen, the unknown and the needy. With progressive innovations encasing all fragments of human life, technology could very well revolutionise the course of women's healthcare around the world.

ALMATY, Oct 22 (Reuters) – KazMunaiGas Exploration & Production (KMG EP) (KMGq.L), Kazakhstan's No. 2 oil producer, said on Friday it had found oil in the Central Asian nation's west and would aim to put it into operation in the near future.
The London-listed company said in a regulatory statement that the new accumulation had been discovered at the Liman Block, on the south slope of the Novobogatinsk Salt Dome 70 km (44 miles) west of the country's oil capital Atyrau.
KMG EP said daily production rate was 24 cubic metres with 5-mm choke. Three more pay horizons are forecast in the drilled section, it said.
"The company's 2011 work programme aims at detailed study and volumetrics in order to put the discovery into operation in the near future," it said.
KMG EP cited its Chief Executive Officer Kenzhebek Ibrashev as saying: "In the new phase of our company's development, exploration is becoming increasingly important."
"We work hard to expand our exploration portfolio, intensify our post-salt exploration programme and plan to start drilling pre-salt wells in the near future."
KMG EP said earlier this week its oil output had grown by 15 percent to 9.946 million tonnes (270,000 barrels per day) in January-September.
Ibrashev told Reuters earlier this month that he expects KMG EP to increase output by 25 percent to 17 million tonnes next year after acquiring new assets.
Output in 2011, including the company's share in joint ventures, will rise from an expected 13.6 million tonnes in 2010, Ibrashev said. (Reporting by Dmitry Solovyov; editing by James Jukwey)

Always when you need some work done around your home or a commercial establishment, you are concerned about the quality of the job, whether the outcome will meet your expectations in terms of quality and relevance. In choosing an electrician in Werribee - NBL Electrics to work on your residential or commercial projects, the same thought applies. With many practicing electricians to choose from, the confusion that comes with landing the best local electrician is, many times, unavoidable. For this reason, it is important to have a checklist to guide you in making a wise selection.
Is the electrician licensed?
In fact, license is one of the most important requirements and the first thing to consider when selecting an electrician in Werribee – NBL Electrics. The technician you choose should have a valid license to prove his qualifications in the job you are about to give him. It is important to have a close look at the copy of the license yourself and verify that it is current and valid and does not have any restriction.
Does the electrician have a valid proof of insurance?
Make sure the electrician you hire for your project has the necessary insurance policies, ensure they are still in force, and not expired. This is important in case of any liabilities that may arise in the course of duty. In many states, practicing electricians must have general liability insurance and workers compensation if they have workers under their management.
Is the electrician available when you need him?
Many electricians are available in the market, but you need to get one that best meets your needs. You may need to research both online and offline to know which local electrician can best meet your needs. In addition, it is advisable to work with a service provider that is available when you need him. This can be quite convenient in case of emergency. If you have regular repairs and replacement of electrical fixtures, it is advisable to find a local electrician to take care of the projects.
Both domestic and commercial investments in Werribee use electricity to power various activities in homes and business premises. However, in an economy with several activities going on simultaneously, consumers of electrical services find it difficult to get the best electricians to meet their needs. Domestic and commercial users are concerned about how they can cut cost on utility services. Alternatively, with environmental conservation becoming a major concern, many consumers want electrical services with minimum negative impact on the environment.
Customers need a trusted source of reliable, trusted, and qualified electricians that can deliver services to precision. Here are the benefits of using reliable local electricians.
Excellent customer service: With a dedicated team of customer service officials, a reliable company ensures that each customer gets the service he or she needs regardless of its size. No job is too small or too big for them to perform. Friendly company representatives walk with each customer every step of the way to completion.
Innovative solutions: Trained and qualified electricians provide the best services. Their goal is to provide clients with services that enable them to save money on utility spending. They achieve this by delivering services geared towards energy conservation and efficiency at all times.
