LCD trouble #ubitx
uBitx v3 board. I can't get the LCD display working. I've tried two different 1602 modules with the same result. (The second one, white-on-blue, shown below).
It's lighting up. Top row blank, bottom row all squares. Twiddling the blue trimmer pot on the raduino board has no effect whatsoever.
At *just* the right viewing angle, I've been able to make out the text " = 000 " on the bottom row. The = represents 4 parallel lines, though. Turning the main VFO dial doesn't change the numbers, but clicking it makes the whole display blank out for a second.
Operator error, bad wire-up, defective Raduino, or something else? Thanks! -m
Re: Reversed Sidebands
I' had the same. After frequency correction made BFO, after this steps the side bands has come to the right position: LSB on 40ty and USB on 20ty My correction for frequency: 18, BFO-11996380.

Most cases its worth moreHi all, This to me is the mos important. I have learnt SO much in the last 12 months from the uBitx. More than my FT-450D could ever have thought me.
You know, and I'll make a board the fits on top of the ubitx to help alleviate the bugs, so those less inclined to experiment can enjoy the benefits of the whole community contributing and working together, again, at cost price. Why because thats what I believe the ham spirit is all about.
I might call it the uBitx Anti-Stone Soup add-on board. ;-P
I'm also working on a way to measure spur and harmonics using an RTL-SDR, might work, might not, point is, I'm trying and learning.
What have you done today to progress the hobby?

First issue...you have the LCD upside down. The connectors are at the top edge of these
displays. The blocks you can see are the top line. Check the CONTRAST potentiometer
to insure that it can vary the pin-3 voltage from ground to at least 2V.
VSS (Pin-1) is ground.
VCC (Pin-2) is +5V to power the LCD.
VE (Pin-3) is the contrast voltage, usually around 1.1 volts. Check the pot to insure that it
is varying the CONTRAST volts on pin-3.
RS (Pin-4) is driven by the micro-processor to select which register is active.
R/W (Pin-5) should be grounded. You will only be writing to the LCD.
EN (Pin-6) is driven by the micro-processor to clock data into the LCD register.
DATA-0, 1,2, and 3 (pins 7,8,9 and 10) are not connected because we only use 4-bit mode.
Data-4, 5, 6, and 7 (pins 11, 12, 13, and 14) are used for 4-bit data transfer to the LCD.
Software has to be configured for the above configuration. Check your LCD setup in software
to insure that the proper micro-controller leads are defined to control the proper LCD leads,
and that the wiring matches that configuration.
Hope that helps.

Re: 80 Meters Harmonics Fix Proposal
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Ok I did replace the electrolytics as can be seen from the picture ..It is effectively a center tap I wanted tighter coupleing between the two windings ....The reason why you feed from the center tap is because the elecrtomagnetic field set up by the DC passing through the coil will bias the ferrite "magnetic domains" causing a shift in the B-H field resulting in loss of inductance and the generation of spurs ..Feeding the center tap - current flows up toward the "dot" or start of the top winding "left hand rule" will give you the polarity of the magnetic field around the top coil ... current also flows through the bottom coil away from the dot or start of the bottom winding creating a magnetic field opposing the one created by the top coil ...Result no magnetic field to bias the little bitty magnets in the ferrite allowing the inductance to remain the same as without the current flow.
Try it and see. can't cost a lot .Maybe it'll work

When I measured 80 meter harmonics the particularly troublesome ones were 5th at 18 MHz and 7th at 25 MHz. In both cases the attenuation of the stock uBitx at those frequencies was limited by the layout of the board and by the coupling of relays sharing both filter input and output in the same frame. In such cases the characteristics of the filters, both existing and any modifications are immaterial. The attenuation of the stock filter supplied is more than adequate. But the harmonics bypass the filter and go via I/O coupling straight to the output. Please measure the 5th and 7th harmonics on CW. I think you will find you have not done much to improve the stock situation.
Just a fyi ...see the picture of the 80 meter output from my unit ...after doing the L7,L8 mod and the output transformer mod .
A whole bunch of the cruft flying around in this radio is due to L7 and L8 having DC current flowing through them ...This DC biases the ferrite (shifting the BH curve who knows where) lowering the inductance and allowing RF everywhere ..
Put a proper inductor on the IRF510's that is NOT affected by DC current flowing through it and see what you get

Perfect. I indeed had it connected the wrong way. Due to my case, I had to flip the connector to the other side of the raduino board. And that means the pinout is mirrored. Works now. Thanks!
Re: Using radino from ubitx on bitx 40?
Ryan Flowers
I heavily modified the uBITX code to work with an Arduino and QRP Labs si5351 board, which was the easy part: The hard part was ripping out all the extra IF stuff and calibration! I'm not cut out for that part, but I figured it out with some help. The only reason I did that was because I wanted the easy USB/LSB switching but also wanted a rotary encoder. It works, but is clunky. using Allards code is a great idea :-)
You can also use the QRP Labs VFO kit, and just invert the IF offset to get USB. Remove caps C91 and C92 to do that.

stone soup ingredient list, what bands and modes are usable
Joe Milosch <zzmiloschxx@...>
My regards to the chef, on the Stone soup. :-)
I have no fancy test equipment, but I have
a working uBitx v4 board.
I've read thru all the links and emails on the current problems
with the Ubitx's spurious emissions, but can't seem to get
a clear picture of what bands and modes are legal for
transmitting in the US. The sheer number of posts
and technical data is a bit overwhelming.
Could one of you experts, make a simple text table showing
which bands and modes are acceptable on a stock board?
Something like:
This is a fake table for example.
80m no cw, no ssb, no digital modes
60m digital fine
40m no cw, ssb, digital fine
30m digital fine
20m cw , ssb, digital
17m etc
15m etc
12m etc
10m etc
Thank you,

Re: stone soup ingredient list, what bands and modes are usable
Warren Allgyer <allgyer@...>
Hi Joe
There is no valid answer to your question without additional parameters being set that require precise measurement and monitoring. The table you ask for will be very different depending upon the power level used, the loudness of your voice and the resulting drive level on SSB, the voltage level applied to the PA, etc. The table constructed assuming a power level of 5 watts will be very different for one assuming 1.5 watts or, God forbid, 15 watts.
For those who want to experiment, find problems, devise solutions, and who are willing to defer air operations until they have ascertained their uBitx is compliant, it is a wonderful source of learning and fun in the true spirit of amateur radio. For those looking for a radio to simply package and put on the air as it stands, the uBitx is the antithesis of what ham radio should be.
Re: stone soup ingredient list, what bands and modes are usable
Gordon Gibby <ggibby@...>
Joe, Warren published some pretty good numbers way back, and Allyson probably did also, and basically CW mode was in trouble on all the bands. Single side band not quite so much as long as you didn't scream into the mic, or use bands higher than 14 MHz. (but still pretty close to in trouble or beyond it many places) It highly depended on how the unit was set up. Ashar Farhan indicated that units properly adjusted were compliant. Others disagreed based on measuring several production units. You, like I, would have to go back and find all their particular posts with their data, to jfind the exact claims. None of this has been adjudicated in any official proceeding.toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Harmonics are a problem for most of the bands, where is spurs are an additional problem above the 20 meter band.
It seemed to me that CW was in much more trouble with harmonics, than single side band. I along with several others have introduced ways to reduce the bleed through via the relays around the excellent filters at the end of the power amplifier design. My solution seems to work, and I think others have also shown their solution works (even for the CW problem) on 20 meters & below; individual band pass filters or other solutions would be needed to fix the spur problem beyond the 20 meter band; fixes to the low pass filter do not repair that particular problem.
So I think that people who are concerned about this are going to do some sort of a filter or relay fix on the power amplifier, or replace it all together, and operate on the 20 meter and lower bands. My fix had a total cost in the range of $15 or less and an hours worth of work.
A lot of other people aren't going to care and will use the unit as it already exists, and because it is so low powered this isnt going to cause that much trouble. It would be a different issue if they all bought high gain external amplifiers and magnified the spurs & harmonics many many times.... that would eventually get noticed
I hope that helps you. Because several people here did such a great detective work figuring out exactly what was the problem with the harmonics, fixing THAT became a rather simple affair.
I'm going to see what the postage cost would be to send out the simple external relay board that I came up with. The board itself only cost $2.50 even after DHL shipping from China. I think it can be mailed out as simple first class mail just with a "non-machinable surcharge" of $.25 or so.
The first radio I had, had severe problems, didn't work at all, and took me months to make it work. After that it was a joy and I used to make many many contacts. Heathkit HW 16. By comparison, the uBitx is a joy! Much of life is how you look at it. Nothing is perfect, but to disparage items that do have known flaws as complete garbage, I think is an attitude that does not benefit the holder much at all. Take that as some free psychological advice.

I am not bashing. As a basis for experimentation and improvement the uBitx is a treasure. As the basis for a rig to be connected up in one evening and put on the air, it is indeed "garbage".
Tom, wb6b
So I can test my uBITX for harmonics and such, I built a "QRP+" dummy load, this weekend, with a 46 DBm attenuator on board. By mounting this to a bigger heatsink or adding fans this should be able to handle more than QRP levels of power.
The board has two 46 DBm outputs, one to a SMA connector and another to a pin row connector. In situations where I don't care about a standard 50 ohm attenuator output impedance I supply the 1 ohm (40 DBm) output to the pin connector.
The next pin up will be RF voltage, from a divide by four voltage divider feeding a 1N4148 and a bypass/filter cap to read the peak RF voltage. The uBITX is reason I'm setting up an RF workbench/lab again (and having great fun doing so). Oddly enough I don't have any 4148s in my parts box, so am ordering some before I add the RF voltage output. It will be interesting to see how flat this thing is across the HF frequencies.
I built this on a 0.025 inch thick copper sheet, and even with a 140 watt soldering gun it was a challenge to get copper hot enough to melt solder.
I laid out the main parts in KiCad, printed it out on paper and used a center punch to mark the position of the parts mounted to the copper sheet and the mounting holes. That was a refinement over the good-old-days. Really beat the old time way of tediously measuring and scratching lines on the copper.

It's all in how you look at it. All of us have problems, you can look at people and equipment as either half full or half empty. Disparaging either has a bad effect.
Apparently the advertisements neglected to point out the radio can switch frequencies and bands five times per second allowing high speed automatic link establishment. My expensive Icom 718 must then be "garbage"—- it simply can't do that!

Gordon you have missed my point by focusing on what you call "disparagement". My "disparagement" is an attempt to inform those who expect to take the radio out of the box, connect it up and operate compliantly as is advertised. That is simply not going to happen.
If your IC-718 were presented in its brochure as being able to switch frequencies and bands five times per second then I would be calling that claim garbage as well. It is not represented that way.
Your "disparagement" is my "information". If you, in good conscience and with all you now know about the uBitx, can say you recommend it as a first or only rig to someone just starting in this hobby and without test equipment or the knowledge how to use it, then we indeed disagree.

Re: Grounding shematic for a Metal Chassis, which is the right way to wire up?
sdr freak
First i want thank you for your fast answer :-) Ok i have a new question about this.. In the Wire Up Shematic v1.9 i read this:
1. "the Ubitx board should be grounded in a metal case or a common ground if using plastic case.."
2. "IRF510 tabs have DC voltage and SHOULD NOT be grounded to metal case"
3. "Rotary encoder, audio & keyer jack wires....If using metal case jack ground wires can be omitted.The SLEEVE is grounded to the case" <-- how becomes the case ground and what's about the other jack, the mic/ptt jack and the volume switch? Means that if the GND wires from raduino/mainboard to the jack sleeves are not anymore conected when i have grounding my ubitx main board have contact if screwed together on the 4 holes with the aluminium bottom plate where it is mounted on?
And if it was my plan to make a other additional PTT-Button and Encoder-switch button, i've seen in the v1.9 shematic, how would I wire that if I put this on 'the thing with the previously mentioned sentence' in the context that "all jack are grounded over the housing"?
When the ground wires can be omitted then their must be ground on metal case.. <<---This i would realize whit a soldered cable direct from the 'black DC-input cable' which was mounted with a cableshoe (..it say in germany "kabelschuhe") on the case with a nice brass screw. Is this right what i have say?
..and this would be my case-main-ground-port-connection-point, for other things like a back plate brass screw for ground the whole ubitx to my home, and for sure this is a must be when i was have outdoor ham sessions, so that I can ground the whole ubitx directly over the earth floor with for example a metal bar and i like to transmit with kite antenna, long wire antenna high in trees and when this doing, i read, there should be a main ground to the earth ground.
next was point 5. in den v1.9 wire up shematic, It is important to finally have clarity..ok look please here:
5. DC-power cable should be twisted.(yes i ve do this at begin of assemble ubitx with all cable) (but now this-->) The negative (Black) wire should be lager size!
On other website i have read and see this on few ubitx build's but i missing a wire up shematic which have directly draw all these or describe a little bit more information about this whole "Grounded Case Wire Up Shematic" (when i have enough knowledge about this, then my idea is to make this wire up plan..), ...so i have no idea which cable diameter should be used for this "thicker, lager sized negative black dc-power cable.." Can someone help me with the necessary data of a diameter for this cable?
Which construction idea is the best for beginner? Only use a metal case and wire up the same like describe in the v1.7/1.9 wire up shematic here: https://groups.io/g/BITX20/photo/49276/0 and ignore the informations in the plan, like i see most metal cased ubitx pics where i never see the construction instructions with the thick black DC cable, the omission of the grounding cable at the Jack-Sleeves and encoder, grounding mount screw, just everything that I ask here wasn't see at the most picture of metal cased ubitx.. but why is wrote in the wire up instructions (v1.7-1.9) about all these important hints if then almost no one does this and still the normal wiring plan is made despite the metal box, because what I mean at all are yes then this ground loops of what is being warned ... I do not understand now..
ok last point here, warning for ' be careful of groundloops'...On another page I read that it has to do with the thick black DC cable and thus diminished, but not as it is now in the exact context with the rest of the history of the cable and the word ground loops does not tell me how to classify it in Regarding my questions about the individual points .. that would just be the point why it is so important to me to get help because I could not find it to understand. Thank you
Ok these are my question.
Ah yeah.. It is really an interesting and very demanding hobby we have.. or is it just me who is think this :D yae yae yae...hard long way to get this ubitx for rx/tx function..
I hope anyone can help me :)

Asian stocks fell on Thursday as investors remained worried about a hit to corporate earnings from the prolonged U.S.-China trade war and a Japan-South Korea trade dispute.
Chinese shares fell on fears over slowing growth and the impact of the trade dispute with the United States. The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index tumbled 30.52 points or 1 percent to 2,901.18, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index fell 131.51 points or 0.5 percent to 28,461.66.
Japanese shares saw their worst single-day loss in nearly four months as weak exports data and disappointing U.S. corporate earnings raised fresh worries about the impact of the U.S.-China trade war.
Japanese exports fell 6.7 percent in June from a year earlier against a backdrop of slowing global growth, the Ministry of Finance said in a report. That missed forecasts for a drop of 5.4 percent following the 7.4 percent drop in May.
Exports to China, Japan's biggest trading partner, fell 10 percent from a year earlier, marking the sixth drop in the past seven months.
The Nikkei 225 Index plunged 422.94 points or 2 percent to 21,046.24, hitting a one-month low and marking its second biggest slide so far this year. The broader Topix closed 2.1 percent lower at 1,534.27.
Canon slumped 4 percent on a Nikkei report that its operating profit will likely fall by 40 percent this year. NOK Corp, a manufacturer of sealant products, plunged 6.4 percent after slashing its earnings outlook.
On the other hand, Car parts maker Akebono Brake Industry soared 7.8 percent after saying it would receive an investment from a corporate turnaround fund.
Australian shares ended lower as iron ore prices retreated from record levels and Woodside Petroleum reported a 32 percent drop in second-quarter revenue. The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index dropped 24.20 points or 0.4 percent to 6,649.10, while the broader All Ordinaries Index ended down 28.60 points or 0.4 percent at 6,735.40.

DCs Forge Closer Ties at Interprofessional Collaborative Spine Conference
Broccoli's Artery Cleaning Effects
Chiropractic Care For Insomnia?
Members of the chiropractic profession forged a new spirit of cooperation and understanding during the Interprofessional Collaborative Spine Conference (ICSC), which took place Nov. 8-9 in Pittsburgh, Pa. Organizers of this first-of-its-kind event hope to enhance patient outcomes as well as increase integration of manual therapies for back pain in the wake of the ongoing opioid crisis. ICSC was organized and hosted by the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) with the support of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists (AAOMPT) and the Academy of Orthopaedic Physical Therapy (AOPT), which represent three of the major provider groups of non-drug manual therapies for pain. Manual therapies such as spinal manipulation have received increased attention and support in recent years by major health care organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American College of Family Physicians for their ability to effectively manage many cases of back pain and in some cases reduce or alleviate the need for prescription opioids. Research shows that back pain is one of the most common conditions for which opioids are prescribed. "The chiropractic profession was honored to take part in the Interprofessional Collaborative Spine Conference," said Michele Maiers, DC, MPH, PhD, vice president of the American Chiropractic Association. "We are committed to working together with our colleagues in physical therapy and osteopathy to raise awareness and promote integration of non-drug manual approaches." "Providers of manual therapies have an unprecedented opportunity to positively impact the lives of millions of people who struggle with back pain. Together, we can find ways to improve what we do and to communicate better with patients. The Interprofessional Collaborative Spine Conference was an important step in that direction," said Julie Fritz, PT, PhD, FAPTA, associate dean for research at the University of Utah College of Health, who helped plan the conference.

A recent literature review found some interesting evidence suggesting that chiropractic care may have certain benefits for those suffering from insomnia. In the review, researchers evaluated some 15 studies that met their criteria. Their findings suggested that many of the therapies utilized by certain chiropractors including cranial manipulation, physio and manual therapies as well as mind-body therapies may have benefits for insomnia sufferers. However, no studies have been directly conducted to specifically evaluate and support these findings but based on these previous studies, it may be worth additional investigation.

If you suffer from AGING…TIRED… CREPEY SKIN… if you WANT TO CHANGE THIS… if you have tried so many other anti-aging creams that did not deliver on their promises… then this message is just for you. Here's why…
And you need to realize, there is a cost to not dealing with this…
If You Ignore YOUR AGING SKIN NOW, It Will Just Get Worse
What most people do when facing the loss of skin elasticity and begin to see more wrinkles forming is TRY EVERY NEW CRAZY ANTI-AGING REMEDY THAT COMES ALONG. NEW BEAUTY TOOLS… NEW TIGHTENING EXERCISES… NEW PRODUCT… "REFORMULATED" OLD BEAUTY TREATMENTS … NEW ADVICE FROM SOMEONE YOUNGER WHO HASN'T EXPERIENCED AGING SKIN… AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.
But for most people, none of that works.
And what happens if you just do nothing? If you just keep doing what you've been doing? NOTHING. AND YOU NEVER HEAL YOUR SKIN. AND WHEN PEOPLE ASK, YOU MUTTER SOMETHING LIKE "YOUR BUSY SCHEDULE" OR THE EVER POPULAR "AGING DOESN'T BOTHER ME".
How WE CAN ALLEVIATE YOUR AGING SKIN PROBLEM
I've got an answer that works. My name is Andrea and here's my story. I didn't always have dry skin, My life changed January of 2013, I was exposed to a very toxic chemical which caused many medical problems such as respiratory issues, anemia, and drying out of hair and skin, to name a few.
While seeking medical care for the extreme exposure to toxic fumes, I was also plagued with my hair becoming very dry and brittle. At times breaking at what seemed to be the wind blowing and my skin went from very oily to very dry after the exposure.
As I looked for physicians to help with the poisoning I was also looking for a solution to my hair breakage and my skin's very dry look and feel.
I had not experienced dry skin before. I always had very oily skin.
I thought with the proper medical treatment the problems would go away and my skin and hair would return to my normal.
That did not happen.
So I desperately searched the internet for a remedy.
Google gave me the answer I was searching for, natural handmade bath and body products.
I was very fascinated with what I thought was one of the many things people would do in ye olden days, that is now lost due to the commercialization of all of our lives. I put my Biology background (one of my majors at Loma Linda University, La Sierra Campus now called La Sierra University) to work and started formulating bath and body products.
It Worked For Monique, And It Will Work For You
Here's what it did for me… STARTED SEEING MY DRY FLAKY SKIN LOOKING AND FEELING SUPPLE… GLOWING AGAIN… AND I NOW HAVE PEOPLE THINKING I AM MUCH YOUNGER THAN I ACTUALLY AM. And it's not just me. [HERE'S WHAT MY SKIN FORMULATIONS HAVE DONE FOR OTHERS…
"Very happy I give it 5 stars
I am happy with the liquid soap- it didn't leave a film not did it dry out my skin. I also purchased the body lotion which really helped my severely dry skin a lot! (I'm a dialysis patient) I love the natural scents not overpowering at all, just right." Monique-Rose Lopez
Finally, It's Your Turn
When you PURCHASE THE DYNAMIC DUO today you'll get the key to…
That's right - these products that, if I offered it alone, would cost a minimum of $108.00 EACH… but these products are yours for less than that amount.
It all comes as part of the trial for THE DYNAMIC DUO, FOR JUST $95 for both. Only from this link https://www.immaculateorganicsoaps.com/discount/DuoOff?redirect=%2Fproducts%2Fbacuri-pracaxi-dynamic-duo-body-lotion
And you are 100% safe to try this out. That's all I'm suggesting. Just purchase the duo to see if it works for you. If it does, you'll be delighted - and I think that's exactly what's about to happen. If for some reason you're not delighted with THE DYNAMIC DUO, then just let us know - and you get all your money back. Just take a selfie the day The Dynamic Duo arrives. Snap another picture after using the product for 14 days. If you don't see an improvement let us know and we will refund you. We have NEVER had anyone ask for this, by the way.
It's Decision Time
You have a choice to make: Do what you've been doing (or worse, do nothing at all). You know where that will lead; Dry flaky skin. Your skin will continue to show the signs of aging. No relief from photoaging skin. Is that really where you want to go? Take a new action, and get a new result. Buy the Dynamic Duo. Finally get THE SKIN THAT YOUNGER PEOPLE WILL ENVY YOU FOR HAVING – SKIN THAT GLOWS, AND APPEARS FULLER AND MORE PLUMP… PEOPLE THINKING YOU ARE YOUNGER THAN YOU REALLY ARE… SEE RESULTS IN 14 DAYS OR LESS.
Which of those options do you really want for yourself? Here's what to do now… TRY THE DYNAMIC DUO AND the ONLY RISK NOT SEEING YOUR SKIN FEEL IMPROVING.
Recently, these two men entered into the world of dating, socializing, and networking.
Both were very successful at landing the new client, dating the most interesting and beautiful young women. They admittedly are doing better than their peers.
So what was the difference? Both felt self-confident in their appearance. At the beginning of High school, they both suffered from acne. They were given the advice to stop eating greasy foods such as French fries and onion rings, but that was helping. But, they still had acne and the accompanying scars. Until they asked me what they could do about getting rid of their acne and the ugly scars.
What Made The Difference
They both asked me, a person who once had acne, (before the incident which changed my skin and my life), and had the scars, how to get clear skin, which is also soft and supple? I have personal knowledge and experience of acne-prone skin and dry chapped. My suggestions were the conditioning bars. Lucas used the Bright Mornings soap bar with a spin brush for his morning routine and the Tranquility bar for his nightly skincare routine. David used the Tranquility soap bar for his day and night skincare regimen. Both boys achieved the much-desired clear complexions that they had been wanting since their acne issues erupted.

Ever hear about the ancient Egyptians? More than likely you have.
They were an unusual people with some kind of unusual philosophies.
Especially about aging.
You see, they didn't suffer from aging problems. Not even tooth decay.
I suspect they probably even laughed at all the other tribes/nations/countries around them who DID suffer from the appearance of aging and tooth decay.
What was their secret?
Well, believe it or not it had to do with frankincense "the sweat of the God's fallen to Earth". We've actually did a ton of research on this while creating The Dynamic Duo.
And we must say their solution to aging is slightly weird.
But it works like crazy.
You can see what they did at:
Andrea Allen
P.S. How's that saying go
Those who refuse to learn the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them in the future? You can avoid the pain and frustration of the appearance of aging by doing what the ancient Egyptians did.

What could go wrong on that lazy mid-morning Saturday in May?
While she felt the warmth of the sun, reading a less than stellar romance novel, Kam drifted off to sleep, in full sun.
She was there for about two hours before she began to wake up, her friend's dog was barking at the bottom of the camper.
At first, Kam thought she was only up there for less than an hour. As she was getting up from the mat, she felt the stinging of her sunburn on her skin. She looked at her arms, tummy, and legs which were redder than a lobster, and she was very thirsty too boot.
Kam's friend suggested that Kam, soak in a cold tub of water, and drink plenty of water. When Kam got out of the tub her friend took her to the Emergency Room. The doctor gave Kam the worst news any 19-year-old could hear. Her skin which now was beyond red and wrinkle looking would look like this for the rest of her life.
Later that fate full Saturday, I ran into Kam. I was very horrified to see my friend that burnt. She wanted to cry when she told me what happened. She had not cried, she was too afraid her tears would burn. But, a few tears streamed down her very red cheeks when she told me that the emergency room doctor said
"Your skin will heal but you dried it out. I have never seen a burn this bad. You have done damage equal to a 3rd-degree burn."
Kam's did not want me to touch her face. She did not want to talk because the movement of her mouth hurt, when she told me "no" and pulled away. I told her I would only do a light touch. All I could see and sort of feel were wrinkles. I looked at her with a gleam of Polly Anna determination and said "I have something that can help"
I turned on my heels and ran to my room, and returned with a half-full bottle containing what I felt would help Kam. I had in my hand the remedy my Aunt made me take when I went away to school. My Aunt told me to drink a cap full with my orange juice every day, which I did most of the time. The taste wasn't the problem, but I could not get over the very slight smell of the orange juice additive.
What I gave Kam was a "magical elixir" my Aunt would take on a daily basis. She would also use the miracle juice on cuts or small open wounds. This bland little miracle juice could help with relief from not only cuts, but burns, and even bruises.
Before I tell what the powerful elixir was, if you have not already guessed, let's look at what caused Kam's sunburn.
Kam's was sunburn due to a few factors, other than falling asleep in the mid-morning sun, then waking up at high noon. UVB and UVA rays are very damaging to the skin.
When exposed to the sun, there is 10 to 100 times more exposure to UVA than UVB. UVB is the sun burning spectrum.
Take a look at the depiction of the layers of skin and the time it can take to begin burning. And people of darker are not immune to the UVA or the UVB rays. A person with darker skin might be able to have a longer time of sun exposure before getting sun damaged. But one thing to remember, it is hard to recover from sun damage.
So what was the magical elixir that my Aunt always used?
Aloe Vera juice.
Did it work a miracle for Kam? Yes, it did. A few weeks after I gave the bottle, she thanked me for looking out for her. Her skin was no longer lobster red and wrinkled.
Her skin looked so much better. You could not tell that she had ever experienced a very bad sunburn Her skin had a beautiful glow.
We carry a few products with Aloe Vera as one of the top five ingredients. Buy one or buy all the products for a more hydrated beautiful complexion.
Side effects of dimethicone according to WebMD; mild itching, burning or stinging.
Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:
Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); severe or persistent itching, burning, or stinging; skin irritation; worsening dryness.
The using of Cyclomethicone, according to thedermreview.com: the molecules of this chemical are too large to enter human pores, thus leaving the product on the surface of the skin, creating a softer and smoother skin texture. Also, Cyclomethicone molecules don't tend to block the active ingredients from entering the skin, because they tend to leave significant amounts of space in between each other. Though Cyclomethicone is believed to have a variety of benefits, there are some drawbacks to using this product, especially for those with sensitive skin. For example, this ingredient is a non-comedogenic, which means that it doesn't clog pores or cling to the skin, but has been known to cause minor skin and eye irritation.
The lotion the hospital was using would normally be good for someone with dry skin, but someone who has already had an allergic reaction, this product might not be effective and actually did cause further dryness.
The remedy was to change products. I returned to the hospital and applied the Emperor's Avocado Cream. This particular crème has been effective for another customer with very bad eczema. The product calms and conditions the skin while imparting a shine to the overall appearance of the skin. When my cousin told me her back was itching badly, she had the feeling that her skin was tearing apart, although it was very dry and scaly it was not bleeding. I applied the cream to her back and she commented that she felt a big relief. I also noticed the skin looked better and was absorbing the product while leaving the skin shiny. Although shiny isn't the only end result it is to be stated the skin maintaining a shiny look means that the product is effective at handling dryness.
Although a lotion is 70% water and a cream is only 50% water the skin needed a little more care than water alone. After the first application, my cousin's skin looked better but with continual applications, her skin began looking and feeling even better. She experienced less dryness and less itching.
The end lessons; when you have an allergic reaction to a product, stop using the product, and evaluate why the product may not have been effective for you. The lotion the hospital was using had two ingredients that under normal conditions would benefit the skin, but when someone has an extreme reaction to a chemical (the medication), it would be advisable to eliminate as many unnecessary chemicals as possible.
If you are currently suffering from acne breakouts, acne scars… If you have tried many different crazy remedies, and they not only didn't work but made the breakouts worse… making the breakouts more frequent with a ton more pimples than without the remedy… If you realize that what you have been doing is completely wrong, but you just keep falling into the next latest fade or harsh treatment then keep reading…
Maybe me telling you about my acne journey will help you in your current journey against acne breakouts.
My suggestions may help you but realize they should not make you eruptions worse.
But what if you just leave your acne problem alone? It will just you away, NOT.
Let's face it most people suffering from acne breakouts,
Keep going in this cycle; just keep having "Bad Skin", and a bunch of products that you'll never finish using.
What did I do?
I stopped washing my face with harsh soaps which dried my skin out causing my skin to produce more sebum and ultimately clogging my pores.
There was more to it than the skincare products I would use on my face; it was also a combination of changing my eating habits, kicking the junk food, phasing out the excessively oily foods and eating more fruits and vegetables.
Are you ready to make a commitment to improving your skin and your overall health?
Of course, you are.
But, what products would I suggest to use to help get acne under control? For a morning wash routine, use The Bright Mornings bar followed by the soothing lotion of the Illipe Butter and Calendula Lotion. If you are of a certain age and want anti-aging then use the Bacuri & Pracaxi Body Lotion. For evening cleansing use The Tranquility bar followed by the Bacuri & Pracaxi Body Lotion or the Emperor's Avocado Lotion.
Also, note that a mask once a week is also a great way to do pore power cleansing.

I love this lotion it is so smooth and non-greasy not to light not to thick.
Calendula healing powers have been employed for centuries. I love that it is in a lotion. Calendula has been used in a poultice for bruises burns and minor scrapes and cuts since women discovered medicine ( lol) I love that it is organic and natural - can't get any better

Finally, the itching has stopped
Before using this lotion I was unable to have a good night sleep due to horrible itching all over my body. I used the granite soap then applied this lotion and noticed no more itching!!!! I can't believe it I had tried dermacil, eucerin and nothing stopped the itching. The Illipe butter and calendula lotion is nothing short of amazing, I will be ordering more.

If your skin starts to feel dry and irritated despite the humidity, try these tips:
3. Folliculitis: Every hair on your body grows out of an opening called a follicle. When follicles get infected, you develop folliculitis. Infected hair follicles look like pimples, but they tend to be itchy and tender.
4. Infection from a manicure or pedicure: Manicures and pedicures can leave your nails looking great, but they can also expose you to germs that can cause an infection.
You don't have to give up manicures and pedicures. Taking some precautions can help you avoid an infection.

The best way to avoid this itchy rash is to learn what these plants look like and avoid them. You'll find out how to identify these plants and protect your skin when you cannot avoid them at:
7. Prickly heat (or heat rash): Blocked sweat glands cause this. Because the sweat cannot get out, it builds up under your skin, causing a rash and tiny, itchy bumps. When the bumps burst and release sweat, many people feel a prickly sensation on their skin.
Anything you can do to stop sweating profusely will help reduce your risk. Tips that dermatologists offer to their patients to help them sweat less and thereby lessen their risk of getting prickly heat include:
8. Seabather's eruption: Also called pica-pica, this itchy rash develops in people who go in the Caribbean Sea and the waters off the coasts of Florida and Long Island, New York. You get it when newly hatched jellyfish or sea anemones get trapped between your skin and your swimsuit, fins, or other gear.
The larvae are as small as a speck of pepper, so you won't see them in the water. You can, however, prevent this rash if you:
9. Sun allergy: You can develop hives (an allergic skin reaction) when you're in the sun if you:
If you have an allergic reaction to the sun, you'll see red, scaly, and extremely itchy bumps on some (or all) bare skin. Some people also get blisters.

11. Swimmer's ear: When water gets trapped in your ear canal, you can develop an infection called swimmer's ear.
You can prevent this infection by keeping your ears dry. Here's what dermatologists recommend:
12. Swimmer's itch: Also called clam digger's itch, this itchy rash appears after wading or swimming in lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water. You get it when parasites in the water burrow into your skin, causing tiny red spots on areas that your swimsuit didn't cover. Sometimes, intensely itchy welts (hives) and blisters appear.
Children are especially susceptible because they tend to stay in shallow, warmer water.
You can prevent swimmer's itch by taking the following precautions:
Caution: If your skin stings with brisk rubbing, stop. You (or your child) may have sea bather's eruption.
While these summer skin problems can dampen your fun, they're usually not serious. Most go away in a few days to a few weeks. If a rash or other skin problem lingers or worsens, you should call your dermatologist's office.

This butter is amazing, to say the least. The indigenous of the Amazon use it as a remedy for rheumatism and arthritis.
Bacuri butter quickly absorbs into the skin within minutes, making the skin feel velvety to the touch; it also has been shown to aid in reducing the appearance of scars.
Another great benefit, Bacuri Butter imparts a golden glow to your skin.

Sonia has a medical condition which the treatments cause her to have very dry skin. One day I gave her a deluxe sample of the Grapeseed and kokum butter body lotion, she told me that lotions never work for very long on her skin, due to the treatments.
A few days later "Sonia" asked me if she could purchase the Grapeseed and kokum butter body lotion, by this time she had already been using Liquid Soap #1, without drying effects.
Dry skin sometimes is accompanied by itchy skin. In "Sonia's" case her scalp was becoming unbearably itchy, so I suggested that she try the Enhance the Sea Salt shampoo bar. She did and had great results. Her scalp felt better and the itching went away. Her old body wash and shampoo had a common ingredient, sodium lauryl sulfate, an ingredient we do not use in any of our cleaning products.
When "Sonia" was getting one of her orders, I complimented her on how her skin was glowing. She told me she had been getting compliments on her skin's appearance from her doctors and nurses. She even commented on how a new nurse thought she was new to dialysis treatments. The new nurse was explaining how the treatments would proceed; "Sonia" stopped her in the middle of her orientation to tell her she had been having the treatments for quite some time now. The nurse commented that since "Sonia's" skin was so supple looking the nurse thought that this must be the first time "Sonia" was dialysis treatments.

The top five ingredients to look for any skin care product to help maintain and improve the appearance of your skin are as follows:
Quality Butters: In our soaps, lotions, creams, and body butters we use the best quality butters. Cocoa Butter, Kokum Butter, Mango Butter, Shea Butter, Illipe Butter, Murumuru Butter, Tucuma Butter, and rounding out the list Cupuacu Butter. These butters are rich in Vitamins A, B, C and omega 3 and omega 6. They have been proven to help skin recover moisture and elasticity, and also deeply hydrate the skin.
Quality Oils: Olive Oil, Grapeseed oil, Apricot Oil, Almond oil, Andiroba oil. Ojon oil, these are only a few of the oils that we use in our products. Like our butters, these oils provide hydration, elasticity, and have been known to help with hyperpigmentation.
Glycerin: or Urea in a product gives added emollience. Vegetable glycerin can add a nice shine or sheen to the skin's appearance while giving hydration. In some of our formulations, we use urea instead of glycerin. Urea still adds nice hydration like vegetable glycerin without the added shine. Urea also adds the improved hydration for a longer period of time without a sticky feel that glycerin can sometimes have.
Vitamins and Minerals: These are common in oils and butters, but at times when we make our formulations we will add more to increase the skin benefits for you. Dead salt has many minerals and skin soften benefits. Soaking in a tub of Epsom salts can help make tired muscles find relief.
Raw Honey: Honey can not only help draw in moisture but can also aid in unclogging pores. Honey has been used for centuries for wound healing, as an anti-inflammatory, and aiding in the relief of skin issues such as dermatitis, eczema, and acne.
As an added bonus we have a do-it-yourself recipe you might want to try. If you try it let us know how it worked for you. Please remember the use of this recipe is at your own risk.
2 Tablespoons of raw honey
1 teaspoon lemon or lime juice freshly squeezed
1 ½ teaspoon of Olive Oil
1 teaspoon of Shea butter or Cocoa butter
2 teaspoons of sugar
1-2 drops of an Essential oil such as lavender or tea tree is optional
Mix all the ingredients together forming a creamy paste, generously and gently apply to your face in an upward circular motion, this can also be used on the body. Leave on for five minutes then rinse off thoroughly. Follow with a light moisturizer to help lock in the hydration. Enjoy your new skin feel.]]>

Our lotion and cream formulations do contain distilled water, along with many other skin beneficial ingredients. Our lotion and cream formulas have the correct liquid to oil ratio which is why our lotions and creams are fast absorbing, giving your skin a luxurious feel.
When looking at the ingredients list you will see water, and/or Aloe Vera, and/or an infusion with an herb such as marshmallow root, Emperor's green tea, which is only sourced from China, along with many other skin beneficial herbs. So the distilled water we use is not just water, which is healing in its own right, but water with added beneficial skin-loving herbs.
Slippery Elm and Marshmallow make water wetter, giving more hydration to the skin, providing relief to environmentally stressed skin. A few of our lotions and creams also contain Dead Sea Salt, a mineral from The Dead Sea. This beneficial mineral has so many skin soothing, and nourishing properties that the spas of Jordan and Israel are among the most sought-after spa locations.
Aloe Vera juice/gel is also used in most of our lotions and creams, adding soothing and moisturizing properties. But also note that Aloe Vera is only beneficial when it is greater than twenty-five percent of the concentration in a topical treatment such as a lotion or cream. Immaculate Organic Soaps lotions and creams are greater than thirty percent Aloe Vera, increasing its effectiveness as a topical soothing remedy.
We also use herbal oil infusions in a few of our lotions and creams, such as Calendula, St John's Wort, Comfrey, Lavender, Frankincense, Myrrh just to name a few. In addition to herbal oil infusions, we also use high-quality butters and essential oils.
So as you see Immaculate Organic Soaps lotions and creams are less than fifty percent water, which is why we say a little goes a long way.
Our 4 Whipped butters does not contain water at all but can still soothe the skin with its silky goodness due to the types of butters and the added oils.
Soufflés will be coming soon bringing a fluffy lighter alternative to 4 Whipped Butters. Soufflés are heavier than lotion, lighter than cream, and can be used year round.
No matter what your skintasy is, our lotions, creams, butters, and soufflés may become a leading source to help you fulfill what your skin desires.
When I sold the shave soap I did explain the most effective way to shave would be with the pattern of hair growth. There is also a description on the shave soap page of the method to receive the best possible shave. But for those who believe that when the soap is used, the user should not get razor bumps you are right, but only provided the user follows the directions.
The soap is designed to give slip to the razor while giving moisture to the skin. The soap is similar to a lotion soap, which can leave your skin moisturized and hydrated.
So let's revisit the ingredients: Goat's milk/ or Coconut Milk depending on which version you use, Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Avocado Oil, Kokum Butter, Grapeseed Oil, Castor Oil, Bentonite Clay, Ground Oatmeal, Honey, Fragrance.
Each ingredient brings a load of skin loving benefits. Here is an overview of each of our men's shave soap ingredients.
How to use this low lathering soap:
Step 1: Apply a warm damp towel on the area you will be shaving. This will help to open the hair follicles. Some men may find it easier to brush the hair out first then use the damp cloth.
Step 2: Rub the shave soap under warm running water, you will have minimum to no sudsy lather. Yes no foam but you will have a slippery soap in your hands.
Step 3: Apply the soap from your hands to the prepped area. Rub the slip soap on to the shave area, do not allow drying, if this should happen just re-wet your shave area.
Step 4: Once the shave area has the soap on, use your razor to shave the area. You should notice the razor will have a better glide than the soaps which are foamy.
Step 5: Once finished with the shave are use a warm damp towel to remove the excess soap. If you still wish to use an aftershave feel free, but our shave soap should not dry out your skin, but we will suggest using on of our Hydrating Botanical Boost Spray to refresh the newly shaved area without the burn of alcohol.
But when parasites much like e. coli become over grown, we the human host begin to have many negative side effects.
When you notice dry patches on your skin, then it might be time to think about a nice salt scrub, or a long luxurious soak in a tub with a bath bomb. But most of us will just throw some mineral oil, lotion, crème, or Vaseline© on the problem and go. But that only prolongs the inevitable, and in some cases increases the domination of parasites.
But then the dreaded itching begins, somewhat casually, where you did not notice you were itching, then progresses into scratch marks, and more annoying itching. Eventually you will make your way to a dermatologist who suggests something such as a bleach bath, because bleach kills all viruses, bacteria, parasites, in short bleach kills all little critters, while leaving your skin dry and parched. Not he best solution but extremely effective.
But there is always more than one way to fix a problem. Some solutions may take longer but over the long haul be a better solution than the drastic solution.
A customer, who shall remain nameless, stated after over a year of itching he found a big relief after using our bath bomb and soaps. But the person also noted that the left over "goo" (yes that is a technical term) in the bottom of the tub was a lot. The person thought the "goo" was oil from the bath bomb.
Another customer told us, that they loved our liquid soap, because it removed "goo" which they did not know was on their skin.
Have you figured out what the "goo" was? Why is the "goo" present especially since people use the major brands of the same type of products?
The "goo" was the over growth of skin parasites, it does not mean a person was not clean but it just meant the products they had been using were just not as effective.
Most soaps of mass production have SLS, sodium lauryl sulfate, which is a surfactant. This particular surfactant tends to yield high later, tons of bubbles, and with prolonged exposure, such as a nice long soak in a bubble bath has to be limited to less than thirty minutes. Sodium lauryl sulfate is very drying, which is what detergents really are, drying. Does this mean that you are soaking in laundry detergent, of course not; shampoos, soaps, and other bath products have to be skin safe before they can be marketed as skin products. pH levels of 4 to 10 are considered skin safe.
A drying product causes rapid skin cell turn over, but younger cells might not be sloughing off, right away. In short some products are drying making a young cell "die" faster. The younger cell sticks to you and giving "food" to parasites which grow and thrive while you itch.
Try avoiding SLS for one month, and see what happens to the skin you are in.]]>
In the meantime try the 1.5 ounce or the 3 ounces bar in two different types vegan and goats milk, I used the goats milk bar.]]>
The pool girl on the other hand is in the sun having pool fun and trying to cover her hair with a cap to keep the chlorinated water damage to a minimum. Her skin is dryer due to the chlorine in the pool water; if she spends too much time in the water she might experience dried parched skin and the Kermit hair look. But her pedicures look amazing.
Is salt a corrosive, yes it is, but the type of salt is the true issue. Sea Salt is great for the skin, just check out spas which feature dead sea salt in their formulations, we also have dead sea salt in our lotions, crèmes, and a few of our soaps, such as the mud soap which is still curing at this time. Even commercial specialty stores have at least one salt scrub on their shelves.
Sea salt has added minerals to improve not only the texture of your skin but also improves the shine and volume of the hair; Removes impurities and dead cells. When people visit the dead sea they do not cover their hair but cover themselves from the top of their heads to their toes in the mud, then when finished with the mud they wash themselves in the dead sea water.
Now with all that in mind remember everything has its limits, anything used excessively can become a problem.
So why do we have a sea salt shampoo bar, to help increase resilience in your hair, increase volume without having to use a chemical volumizer. Remove dead cells from you scalp while nourishing the scalp with needed minerals. There are many benefits to using sea salt spend some time looking into the benefits of sea salt and your hair and skin.
Try hairology your hair will love you for it. Coming soon a liquid shampoo version of our sesa salt bar it's SLS and paraben free!
Why not just use the solution to wet the bar you ask?
Vinegar is a soap neutralizer and vinegar will inhibit the lather of the bar. Although if you decide to still use the solution the scrubbing ability of the Black Walnut Bar will still be effective, but will not produce any lather, but it will still be effective in removing calluses.
After the Soak and Black Walnut Scrub Bar
To maintain the new and improved feet sans calluses, use our Black Walnut Scrub Bar frequently, whenever you shower or bathe. But do be careful these bars are also moisturizing as if you used lotion, and your tub or shower may become slippery. To seal in the moisture use our KoKum Butter and Grapeseed Lotion, or the Emperors Avocado and Dead Sea Salt Lotion.
Cheers to your feet, newly revived, now strut your new sandals all summer long.

It Blooms!
Blooms? Yes, this formula has a great advantage over regular bath oil because it mixes through the water. The oils cover your body rather than beading on top of the water.
Used as bath oil regularly will help to soften and nourish the skin, eliminating dry and rough patches, because the warm water of the bath opens up your pores to help you absorb the beneficial oils. Simply pour the oil directly into the water. The water will become white as the oils disperse essentially giving you a light moisturizing bath. Have a truly amazing bathing experience!

The recent failure of commonly accepted, inductive, econometric models to provide insights into real, macroeconomic phenomenon during economic crises has provoked a debate concerning contemporary econometric methodology. Based on the foundations laid by Haavelmo, and Hollis and Nell, an assessment of Edward J. Nell's (1998) "unifying methodological framework" (UMF) is offered. Nell's UMF places socioeconomic institutions and interdependencies, and technological realities as basis of analysis. Using "conceptual analysis" and "fieldwork" Nell presents an alternative to generally accepted, mainstream, econometric methodology. The purpose of this paper is to look at some examples of the way, and this can help develop useful theory and improve macroeconometric model building. Applying Nell's UMF to unemployment, inflation, and production reveals a methodological advance that promises more realistic insights into macroeconomic phenomena than is offered by contemporary, mainstream, econometric models.
Climate Pollution due to the Carbon Emission (CO2) from the different fossil fuels is
considered as a great and important international challenge to many researchers.
In this paper we are providing a solution to forecast the poison CO2 gas emerged from energy consumption. Four inputs data were considered the
global oil, natural gas, coal, and primary energy consumption to build our
system. In this paper, we used the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) as successful and powerful
tool in handling a time series modeling problem. The proposed ANN model was
used to train and test the yearly CO2 Emission. The data were
trained from year 1982 to 2000, and tested for the year 2003 to 2010. From the
results obtained we can see that ANN performance was Excellent and proved its
efficiency as a useful tool in solving the climate pollution problems.
