Try asking yourself the following 6 questions:
Do I Want to Improve My LIVER Health and Function?
UltraNourish's 1,950 mg Liver Support Blend was developed by liver experts to support, protect, and optimize your liver function. It contains 8 proven liver beneficial supplements including milk thistle, artichoke, turmeric, and chicory. No other superfood powder or shake focuses on your liver like UltraNourish.
As you most likely know, when your liver is not functioning at its best, it cannot perform its own functions well. However when this happens, it ALSO negatively impacts almost every other organ, process and function in your body. So maximizing your liver function is truly one of the most important actions you can take to keep yourself healthy today and in the future.
What Does UltraNourish's 1,950 mg Liver Support Blend Do for You?
- Protects your liver and optimizes its functions.
- Helps you produce new healthy liver cells and enzymes.
- Reduces fat accumulation in your liver.
- Helps address inflammation in your liver and throughout your body.
- Improves your liver's ability to remove toxins from your body.
- Reduces stress on your liver, heart and other primary organs and processes.
- Promotes better bile flow and sugar levels, which improve your digestion, nutrient absorption, fat elimination, bodyweight, and overall health.
- Eliminates free radicals which cause havoc on your entire body and leads to many age related health issues.
You can only attain the wellness you're meant to experience when you give your liver and body the nutrients they need.
Do I Want to Feel Energized, Focused and More Productive Again?
Then, pea protein is an all-natural solution to your problem. Pea protein is "lean protein" and comes from the yellow split pea. Unlike popular whey protein powders, pea protein is hypoallergenic and is more easily digested and processed by your liver.
- UltraNourish contains 16 GRAMS of pea protein.
- Pea protein provides you with a complete array of amino acids, including high levels of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), plus essential amino acids that cannot be made by your body. These amino acids are vital for protein creation and as a source of energy for your body.
- Pea protein provides you with both a pre-workout energy boost and improved post-workout muscle recovery.
- Pea protein also improves your focus and mental concentration.
- Pea protein's well-balanced profile fulfills the essential amino acid requirements for adults outlined by the World Health Organization.
Do I Want to Achieve a Healthier Weight?
We all say we want to eat healthier – eat more fruits and vegetables, cut down on the carbs, reduce the sweets, and eat healthy snacks. But we don't. And even when we try, we give up quickly and go back to how we ate before.
UltraNourish's 16 grams of pea protein and 1,450 mg in the Green Food/Spirulina Blend will fill you up and keep you feeling full for hours. UltraNourish's nutrient-dense superfood shake will:
- Reduce your cravings and tendency to "cheat" throughout the day.
- Fill you up with healthy, useful nutrients.
- Provide digestive enzymes to help you better absorb and utilize these nutrients.
- Keep you full longer.
- Give you more energy to do what you have to do.
Try a shake for breakfast or lunch, or as a healthy snack. It will fill you up, reduce your cravings, and provide nutrients, antioxidants, and more to improve your health.
You will feel healthier and be healthier! Who doesn't want that?
How About Improving My Digestion and Reducing My Digestive Upset?
Digestive issues can prevent you from eating what you love and prevent you from absorbing and utilizing nutrients. Side effects can run from simple burping, bloating, discomfort, and gas to severe diseases and even death. According to the U.S. Department of Health, roughly 70 million people are affected by digestive issues adding up to 48 million visits to a doctor, clinic, or emergency room each year.
Our Digestive Enzyme Blend will:
- Improve your digestion of proteins, carbs, sugars, fiber, fats and even hard-to-digest foods such as dairy products, grains and legumes.
- Boost your nutrient absorption and utilization.
- Reduce your gas, bloating, heartburn, digestive discomfort, and other digestive side effects.
It's time for you to start eating what you want again and feel better doing it.
Would I Like to Catch Fewer Colds This Year?
Nobody likes being sick, suffering from allergies, or feeling run down. Since 70% of your body's immune system resides in your digestive tract (gut), maintaining balanced digestive health is crucial to your body's overall well-being.
Our Immune Support and Antioxidant and Probiotic Blends will:
- Help you fight off viruses, bacterial infections and allergy attacks.
- Reduce the occurrence or severity of illness and promote a faster recovery.
- Create the ideal environment in your digestive tract for optimal immune function.
- Balance out your gut by providing you with 6 billion probiotics ("beneficial bacteria") and by inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria.
With UltraNourish, you boost your immune system from within.
Is Protecting My Heart and Promoting Healthy Blood Sugar Levels Important?
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), 1 out of every 4 deaths is attributed to heart disease. It is the #1 leading cause of death for both men and women.
The major causes of heart issues are smoking, heredity, and health problems related to an unhealthy diet as well as liver and blood sugar issues. Our proprietary 850 mg Cardiovascular Support Blend may not help you stop smoking, but it can mitigate the effects of hereditary heart issues and improve your liver, blood sugar levels, and diet.
Our Cardiovascular Support Blend will:
- Promote healthy blood sugar levels.
- Improve blood flow throughout your heart and body.
- Lessen the stress on your heart.
- Promote healthy cholesterol and homocysteine levels.

By leaving out all flavors and sweeteners, UltraNourish provides you a more customizable option than other shakes. With Unflavored UltraNourish, you can customize your shake to your liking by adding fruits, different milks, juices, cocoa, etc. PLUS you can have fun and drink different flavors each day, not the same chocolate or vanilla shake day in and day out. Try multiple recipes and find the ones that you like best.
And now, with our new Chocolate UltraNourish and Vanilla Chai UltraNourish, it is even easier to make your doctor happy and you healthier. Using natural flavors, stevia and organic cane sugar, Chocolate and Vanilla Chai UltraNourish are a delicious alternative for those wanting to simplify their shake-making routine. Just add water or milk, shake it up, and you have a delightfully tasty and healthy shake ready in seconds! Choose the shake that is right for you and take charge of your health today.
A good liver support
The taste is horrible. You won't be able to just mix with water. Not good. But I feel like it helped me I have fatty liver. I mixed with a little slimfast or fruit smoothy. I just had to be careful of how much sugar I was adding. Was watching my sugar intake I drank it every morning. I'm going to start drinking it again.Lamorna Williams, Amazon Review
I have been using this UltraNourish for years and it helps my liver condition, I highly recommend this product.MARYAmazon Customer, Amazon Review
I love what UN does for me. It takes away my sugar cravings and since I have been drinking it I notice that I crave healthy foods instead of chip etc. Now it does not taste good so what I do is put some cranberry apple juice in a coffee cup about half full and add my scoop, mix and drink it back quickly. This works for me the best. I have been drinking UN for a long time and I am used to the taste plus it goes down quick and it's over. If I miss a day or two I can really tell the difference. I am tired and feel blah. Ultra Nourish has many benefits that I refuse to live without. I have tried other "green" drinks and nothing compares to Ultra Nourish.KELLY WARDEN
I've been looking for the right protein powder for my shakes and at last, I found it! It has an earthy taste to it but, it mixes really well! Other powders clump up and get stuck to the sides of the mixer. I also love the mixture of healthy ingredients and the amount of protein it has, for me, it's just right!Jennifer
This product tastes awful. There is no hiding the taste. What a waste of money. Can't use even use 1/4 or less of the amount recommend. GrossShirley Cowleu, Amazon Review
Reply from Natural WellnessWe are very sorry to hear that UltraNourish didn't meet your expectations. On it's own, UltraNourish doesn't have the most pleasant taste, particularly because it is unflavored and unsweetened. However, when mixed with certain ingredients it can become a delicious tasting drink!
As a result of having CLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia) for 13 years now, I have to have blood work done every 4 months. I rejoice because my WBC (white blood cell) has basically (though higher than NORMAL) remained pretty much the same. I'm sure that the UltraNourish has helped me considerably over the years. I'm so grateful for it. I'm confident UltraNourish has played a major role in helping to keep my liver do its job! So I say Hallelujah!!! :)Debbie L. New York

Nice addition to my smoothie.David Somers, Amazon Review
One of my favs
I've tried many nutritional shakes but this is one of my favorites. Just add your own flavoring, fruit, veggies ,sweetener of choice...blend and yum. I love the chocolate peppermint recipie on the back. I use Cacao and essential peppermint oil. Tastes like a decadent treatGlorybe, Amazon Review

UltraNourish is one of the best products I've ever used, I highly recommend trying it.ohara haggerty, Amazon Review
Great for the flow...not the taste!
This stuff tastes awful! its unsweetened, unflavored and grainy...probably cause its hard to mask the taste no matter what you put in it. If you took the "unsweetened and unflavored" literally you would think it has no taste... not the idea at all. you are going to taste something... Taste wasn't why I bought it however. I have tried what I can to mask the taste and I have gotten some concoctions to make it manageable for me and my wife. we use this to help flush things out when it gets hard for the body to manage...saying it as politely as I can. I use it three days in a row just one scoop each day and it does the trick. It seems to jump start my system and allows the flow to continue for the rest of the month.Trevor Muhlestein, Amazon Review
Reply from Natural WellnessWe're sorry to hear that you aren't enjoying Unflavored UltraNourish. Unfortunately, UltraNourish on its own doesn't have the most pleasant taste, particularly because it is unflavored and unsweetened.

If you haven't already done so, we strongly recommend trying some of the recipes we have provided on our website to help cover the earthy taste. You may also want to start out by using less than a full scoop until you find the right amount that works for you. Our recipes can be found here: www.naturalwellness.com/nwupdate/category/recipes/shakes/
Or, you might wish to try out our newer Chocolate UltraNourish, which adds a rich chocolatey flavor to your shakes!
Love love it!
AWESOMELolita Sheffield, Amazon Review
I know that some people have problems with the taste. I am not one for making shakes. What I do, and I hope this helps someone, is I fill a coffee cup with grape juice and add my scoop of Ultra Nourish and stir it up real good and then just chug it back. This has worked the best for me and it has made it so much more easier to take it. You can still taste the Ultra Nourish but it is totally do able. I hope this works for you who have a problem with the taste. Just drink some water after and don't let your juice mixture get too thick.Kelly

Love this! So easy on the stomach. It's very filling and helps me not only feel healthier but also lose weight!Lemonade, Amazon Review
A great nourishing start to the day!
I have really enjoyed using this product. I was diagnosed with NASH and thought I'd change up my diet. I don't know whether it has medically worked as I haven't had my yearly blood tests yet; however, the nasty taste is covered by whatever fruit/soy milk/peanut butter/yogurt you add to make the Smoothie. And if nothing else, it makes me stop and consume a healthy breakfast. I will be buying it again. (It even comes with its own scoop!)judy

Thank God I found something that has no artificial sweetness! The taste is similar to a fruit and vegetable powder supplement. I heard all those reviews about taste and was terrified. I said why not just go for it. I did and it was not that bad. I mixed it with my meal replacement shake and it was wonderful. It really has benefitted me in digestion (less bloatness), keeping me hungry free for a couple of hours and also knowing it helps my fatty liver. Give it a chance and you won't be disappointed. After all what is a little weird taste, over health. 1 month and ready for more months to go.judy
My liver is happy again! No more sleepless nights
I was diagnosed with enlarged liver and all doctor could prescribed was Prilosec...no way! Anyway found this Liver Support and can't believe how all my digestion problems have gone away in 2 months of using this product. My liver is happy again! No more sleepless nights, no heartburn, no noises in the gut, regularity is back, energy is back and feel 100%. Easy to mix - banana, peach yogurt, orange juice, ice and got my drink. Even my son is drinking it to help with his digestion issues. I have become a believer in this product!Carrie Verbeke
Great way to start my day
I was looking for a protein powder comparable to what Dr. Junger sells (only more affordable) for a breakfast meal replacement shake. I compared a LOT of labels and decided to try Ultra Nourish as it seemed most comprehensive. Once I learned how to spruce up the flavor (with vanilla or almond extract, stevia, fruit) I really grew to love this product. In fact, I went on to try other protein powders that were flavored (french vanilla, etc.) and I find them WAY too sweet and artificial tasting. Every morning I make a shake with the likes of almond milk, ultra nourish, fresh greens, frozen or fresh fruit, and ice and it is delicious and satisfying. I've been doing this for about 8 months and it feels great to start your day off in such a healthy way. Try it but don't give up at the first taste - let yourself get used to the flavor and find ways to make it delicious.M. Elizabeth
I was a Hepatitis-C sufferer diagnosed 10 years ago in 2006, and who just completed a successful 3 month treatment to cure the virus last month. I started taking UltraNourish 2 months before the start of the treatment in April, and intend to keep taking it daily for another 3 months post treatment till October 2016. During the treatment, I found the daily shake indispensable because of the loss of appetite and general weakness I often felt. I went to work everyday during the treatment, some days albeit only for about 5-6 hours, but I did go in everyday. I did some physical exercise everyday, as in Yoga, Mild Aerobics, and Pilates throughout the treatment, and even with the loss of about 6 - 8 lbs total, my general outlook has earned me complements. I credit UltraNourish for providing me with the necessary nutrients I needed for the functioning of my body, during the treatment, especially since I stopped all oral vitamin/mineral supplements. I will recommend UltraNourish not only to people suffering from Liver disease, but everyone detoxing to give their bodies a tune-up, give their liver a rest and boost, or just plain seeking to live a healthy lifestyle. UltraNourish will continue to be a part of my regimen, probably not on a daily basis, but for those times I'll need a healthy shake, a boost with detoxing, or right after detoxing, it will be part of my Wellness routine. Thank you, and keep working at it to bring more Natural Vegetarian alternatives for all of us seeking wellness.Mary L (Cameroon-Africa)
Really like this powder
Really like this powder. It takes a little getting used to, best mixed in a smoothy or juice but I do notice more energy. I haven't had blood work done to see if it has any effect but my blood pressure has dropped a good bit.stella
I'm updating previous review. After 2 1/2 weeks use I look forward to my daily UltraNourish shake. I'm pleased with the results I am getting ( a more regular daily digestion process with less discomfort.) Tried a shake using V8 Veggie Blend which is naturally sweetened. Still tastes green, but it's a good match. I like it.Gary
I immediately noticed gut-friendly sensations after drinking one UltraNourish shake! The second day was similar. After only one week using this product, my whole digestive/elimination process has improved and I have gained energy as well. My weekend rest/recovery period after a week of work was shortened and I am comfortably pursuing my physical workout regimens with enthusiasm. I am 59, HCV+ with cirrhosis for over 10 years (diagnosed). This is a very good and easy to use product and I highly recommend it. Oh yeah, the taste. I'm already accustomed to green superfoods earthy taste. This formula tastes green and earthy, but at least it doesn't have any bitterness or flavory adds attempting to mask the flavor. I like a blended shake, 50/50 almond milk, either vanilla or dark chocolate with regular dairy 2% milk so it's not too sweet.Gary
I am not a meal replacement drinker and thought I would give it a try. I am not sure what the other reviewers are doing but I think it is extremely bad tasting. I haven't been able to find anything I can add to it that gets rid of the chaulkiness. Are there more recipes out there?TammyF
Reply from Natural Wellness
Because it is unflavored and unsweetened, UltraNourish doesn't have the most pleasant taste. However, when mixed with the right ingredients it can become a delicious tasting drink! Typically, superfood protein shakes are not meant to taste good, but we believe that the benefits do outweigh the unpleasant taste.
Many of our employees drink an UltraNourish shake every day, and some of them have mentioned that they prefer to mix it with the following ingredients:
- grape juice
- pineapple juice
- peanut butter
- cocoa powder
- yogurt
- almond milk
We recommend trying some of the recipes we have on our website to help cover the earthy taste and texture. We've personally tried out all of the recipes and they definitely help to mask the taste and texture. You might also want to start out by using less than a full scoop until you find the right amount that works for you.
I was happily surprised by how much I enjoy UltraNourish. I've been drinking it for about a month now and I really look forward to preparing it and drinking it each day. I like that I can customize the flavors I mix with it so that there is some variety because I get bored drinking the same thing everyday. I will absolutely recommend this product to everyone!Emma L.
I am terrible with eating vegetables and other healthy foods, quite frankly I hate them. So knowing that I'm not the healthiest eater I decided to give this UltraNourish a try and mixed it with milk and chocolate drink mix and even some of the chocolate protein drinks and thought it was great. Hey, my additions might not be that healthy but it tasted great and I was getting better nutrients and liver support than I usually would. I started with just a half scoop for each drink as it took a little getting used to at first. While I'm usually drowsy, especially in the mornings, and fall asleep while driving, when I started drinking these shakes I didn't feel drowsy anymore. Plus I had the added benefit of being more regular YAY!!!!Susan from Texas
I was looking for something to help repair my damaged Liver after beating Hep C I truly believe this product is that somethingThomas
This is the best I have found to support my liver naturally. It makes life more simple to just blend it with Almond milk, fruit, a bit of unsweetened fruit juice, or avocado for a smoothie that fills me up with all goodness.Thank you :-)Kathleen Dunham
I have been using Ultra-Nourish for a week now.:-) I love its taste and the fact that it is complete in all ways to help my poor sick liver. I will absolutely continue to order it from you.Nothing I have ever found has the effect on my wallet that this product does-I CAN AFFORD IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YIPPIEKathleen Dunham
I love these shakes!
I was looking for a pea protein supplement for my breakfast shake (instead of whey) and post workout meal. This gave me everything I need for a good price per scoop. I loved all of the other nutrients included. The taste is pretty good. I love it when mixed with mixed berries, and peanut butter.Tom L
UltraNourish is a great product and contains key ingredients to keep you happy and healthy. If you are always on the go, it will make a great meal replacement to take along with you. I feel great after taking it and my favorite ingredients to blend with are: almond milk, a banana, and 2 scoops of cocoa powder!Heather
At work, I usually get take out for lunch from the local pizza shop or gas station. I tried this because I figured it would be healthier and save me some money. I've been having it for lunch most days now and have been pleasantly surprised how much more energy I have in the afternoon. I like 1/2 banana and a couple scoops of peanut butter in almond milk, fills me right up most days.Fred
I've tried a LOT of whole-food, high-absorption-bioavailable superfood Products. Nothing makes me feel as good as Ultra Nourish. My favorite drink is mixing ultra nourish with apple strawberries and peanut butter. I drink ultra nourish every morning as a meal replacement it makes me feel energized and i have a sense of well-being.Ron D.
I tried this with blueberries, a banana and almond milk with honey. The Ultra Nourish powder does add some chalky-ness to the mix, but it's not overpowering. It's pretty filling, I could see it being a light meal replacement (breakfast or lunch).Adam S.
For maximum health benefit, UltraNourish is unflavored and unsweetened. Due to its high superfood content, we recommend mixing approximately 1 scoop of UltraNourish to your favorite shake or smoothie. Intended to be taken once daily.

Egyptian authorities are reportedly taking the first steps towards banning internet pornography.
According to the Egypt Independent, the country's Ministry of Telecommunications and Information Technology minister Mohamed Salem, recently announced the formation of a new committee to evaluate the feasibility of such a ban.
In February, a member of the conservative Al-Nour party, Dr Younis Makhioun, proposed a blanket ban on internet pornography. Makhioun has called on Egyptians to adhere to religious values and take a stand against pornography. He believes pornography, amongst other things, is responsible for the increase in the number of divorce and rape cases.
Minister Salem believes pornography "is becoming persistent and worrying to families".
Meanwhile, Egypt's Parliamentary Committee for Transportation and Telecommunications has directed local internet service providers to block inappropriate content or face penalties.
Egypt is going through a tumultuous time in setting up their new constitution following last year's uprisings and the ousting of former president Hosni Mubarak.

Pen drawing of Heathfield works, before it was destroyed by fire in 1916
LHS archives, BF 16.1
Harpenden Fire Station stands on the site of an industrial site on the west side of Leyton Road, behind the Silver Cup, known as Heathfield Works. An early C19 engraving shows the building when it was the residence of Thomas Reynolds. From 1805 to 1856 it was let to James Wyatt, a barrister.
A number of enterprises have been associated with Heathfield Works:
Abbott's factory, c.1960
LHS Archives, Jim Jarvis collection (donated 2013)
(see also http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Anderson,_Abbott_and_Anderson for some further information.) A disastrous fire destroyed the factory full of very flammable material on 21 February 1916. They moved to temporary accommodation in Southdown, until the premises were rebuilt, and continued there until 1964, when the firm was acquired by Edward MacBean and Co. of Glasgow and all production work was transferred to Scotland.
Harpenden Fire Station moved from its premises alongside Park Hall in 1994. Coopers Mews, a gated housing development, was built in 2003.

My first job on leaving school in 1956 was as "shipping clerk" with Abbotts, as it was known. The owner then was Mr Nelson Alfred Samler-Brown from Battlefield Road St. Albans. Another director was Mr Basil Abbott from Churchfield. In addition to oilskins they made varnished electrical insulating tape in black and yellow. During the summer this was seen on every allotment in Harpenden to frighten birds away. I was there until they closed.
My great grandfather and his brother (Fred and Jack Abbott) were the original owners of the firm and my grandfather William Nelson Abbott was a part owner - they also had another factory at 39 High Town Road, Luton but I have absolutely no idea what happened to that except we lived in a flat next to the factory before moving to Churchfield, Harpenden in 1956/7. My father Basil Abbott was a director.
Geoff Carter, now living in Spain, has been sending us memories of the cottages his grandparents owned, close to the railway bridge on Wheathampstead (then Southdown, now Walkers) Road - nos. 92-99, since demolished to make way for Walkers Court. Phil Read at 96, next door to the Carters, worked at Abbotts, and brought home offcuts of oilskins which Mrs Carter used to fire the copper in her outhouse for the weekly wash. Geoff comments that "the copper was also used to make dandelion wine which was quite potent."
I worked at "Abbots" for 7 or 8 years and knew Basil very well. His main passion was his whippets and he had Ganex waterproof coats made for them in the Harold Wilson style complete with tartan linings.
I also knew Phil Read not just because of being at "Abbotts" together but my grandparents lived next door but one at 93-94 Southdown Road. I used to go to the Carters in Crabtree Lane to take their rent.
Another Southdown Road resident at Providence Place was Bill Yeadon, who also worked at "Abbotts", part time. He was disabled and travelled in a chair with two levers to power it. When he got to the top of Bull Road he did not have the strength left to get over the then A6.
The man from the coffee stall used to go over and give him a push.

War and peace; a Sudanese football portrait
Ivory Coast, Ghana, Cameroon, Egypt, Algeria. African football doesn't just stop here. How many sports dailies are on sale at your local newsagent? Did you know that in Sudan there are eleven? Tells its own story. Gary Al-Smith on Sudan.
If you got pitch side at the exact moment South African ref Jerome Damon blew to end the game, you would have thought the team in red had won the World Cup. The team in red was Sudan, and they had just clinched a 0-0 away draw in an African Cup of Nations (AFCoN) qualifier against Ghana.
Considering how much strife has hit the country in football and elsewhere, the meaning of this result in Kumasi should not be underestimated.
When you think Sudan, you think, disease. Extremism. Guns. Hunger. War.
Partly true, but like everywhere else in Africa, the Kush love their football too.
Sudan was one of four founding members of the Confederation of African Football (Caf) in the 1950s, at a time nationalism and Pan-Africanism was sweeping the continent. Around the same time, the nation gained independence from the British (1956) and were plunged into a 17-year civil war.
Sudan's FA president Dr. Kamal Shaddad;
"At one time we had a president who dissolved all the football structures, including football clubs and the football associations. The basic structure was all destroyed and for a year, kids were not kicking balls on the street and that really affected us."
Despite the civil war, Sudan were able to host and win the 7th African Cup in 1970. The fact that there were only eight participants at the time may have helped. Certainly not as difficult as it is today with 16 teams.
After that success, Sudan would appear in one last AFCoN in 1974. Three decades came and went before they qualified for Ghana 2008, ahead of four-time World Cup veterans Tunisia. A few months prior to this, Sudan's two biggest clubs Al Hilal Omdurman and El Merreikh had sparked a collective hope of resurgence.
Al Hilal reached the semi-finals of the 2007 CAF Champions League, while El Merreikh lost in the final of the Confederation Cup to Tunisia's CS Sfaxien. Though the Caf ranks Al Hilal as Africa's fourth best club side now, Sudanese football's relative success has been tempered by politics. For much of the three decades when Sudan couldn't make the major competitions, some of their best talent left for the booming oil-rich areas further east across the Red Sea.
The duopoly of the aforementioned clubs doesn't help the local game either. They enjoy colossal amounts of financial support from two of the country's leading businessmen. It was back in 1992 that a club besides the big two took a championship (Al Hilal Port Sudan) and before then only two other clubs had won since 1962, when the local leagues first started (Al Mourada Omdurman - 1968 and Burri Khartoum - 1969).
Al-Mourada is actually seen as the third club in Sudan football's triumvirate. However, struggles in finance and administration mean that Al Hilal Omdurman and El Merreikh provide the bulk of the players for the Desert Hawks, as the national team is known.
Other clubs also unable to match the financial muscle of the two have to depend on government rations to survive. A change of mindset is needed at all levels to catapult Sudanese football into a consistent force.
The social structure of Sudanese society can also be blamed for the lack of ambition and exposure. Whenever burgeoning talents are spotted by clubs outside Sudan, it is difficult to keep them happy because they usually feel homesick.
In the late '90s and earlier parts of this decade, El Merreikh's Haytham Tambal was tipped to be the next George Weah. On becoming too hot for Sudan, Orlando Pirates of South Africa grabbed him. He soon left in 2006/07 for a simple reason: at home, his record as all-time highest national team goal-scorer makes him a megastar; in South Africa, he was just one of the guys.
The strong social bond that ties football and politics makes it difficult for national team coaches - especially expats – to have the best representation for the country. Between February 2009 and January this year, Sudan went for the Anglo-Cypriot manager Stephen Constantine.
He had big ideas for the Hawks, but alas, you do not change a people's mentality overnight, especially Africans – something Constantine tried to do with Sudan and Malawi before that.
Dr. Kamal Shaddad again, "The social linkages are so strong that they (Sudanese players) feel isolated anytime they go out. So, anytime you play against a country that has about 17 or more foreign-based players, you don't expect to come up tops."
It is for this reason that the draw with Ghana – whose starting lineup fielded 9 players in Europe's big 4 leagues – was greeted with such glee by Sudan's eleven sports dailies. Also the reason Ghana's media have been in such mutinous mood. Add the fact that Sudan's national players play for honour and are not paid any bonuses while Ghana's team enjoys four figure sums.
But Sudan deserved the draw, for they played well. Their rich history also gives them a reason to want a ray of hope from all the dark clouds. Archaeologists believe people in the area around the Sudan have been a settled culture since 8,000 B.C.
For a people so steeped in world history and as founding fathers of the continent's organized football, the Sudanese people deserve more than they are getting. Their players know this every time they take to the field and do their best and that's why they sang these words of their anthem with so much passion:
"We are the army of God and of our country // We shall never fail when called to sacrifice//We challenge death during hard times//We buy glory, at the dearest price…
If you consider that the last time Sudan won the AFCoN in 1970, they beat Ghana. We may be sentimental in thinking that a draw with a World Cup quarter-finalist was the tonic Sudan needed to relive the glory days.
But here's some free advice: don't count on it.

"Shale gas might be a game changer by bringing gas, coal and finally oil prices down. And cheap oil will no drive industries to make high investments into alternative raw materials". To say it is Martin Schnee, partner of Breslin, one of the most important transaction strategic advisory companies in Europe in the field of bioeconomy, with offices in Zurich, London, Frankfurt am Main and Munich. In the context of the development of the bioeconomy, Schnee warns against the increasingly important role played by shale gas, a natural gas that is found trapped within shale formations. Shale gas has become an increasingly important source of natural gas in the United States since the start of this century, and interest has spread to potential gas shales in the rest of the world. In 2000 shale gas provided only 1% of U.S. natural gas production; by 2010 it was over 20% and the U.S. government's Energy Information Administration predicts that by 2035, 46% of the United States' natural gas supply will come from shale gas. Schnee speaks with us about bioeconomy from an investment point of view, considering that "alternative energy and biomaterials from alternative sources might make a large contribution to Europe's future growth".
Interview by Mario Bonaccorso
What's the role of bieconomy in the perspective of growth of Europe for the next decades?
The utilisation of biological resources for the production for industrial purposes including manufacturing, alternative energy and biomaterials from alternative sources might make a large contribution to Europe's future growth. The development of the new processes and products could defend Europe's currently leading role in e.g chemical production and engineering. But one has also to keep in mind that extensive production of shale gas (e.g. in Usa) might change current positive framework and furthermore, the growth markets are abroad.
What do you mean: what will be the role of shale gas?
Shale gas is expected to be a game changer by bringing gas, coal and finally oil prices down. And cheap oil will no drive industries to make investments into alternatives. The question will be, how deep will be the impact which will be influenced by energy prices.
Is the bioeconomy really the future of the main industrial sectors, such as Chemistry and Energy?
Bioeconomy will be part of the future with a different share of contribution in the mentioned industries. As approximately 10% of the produced oil is being absorbed by the chemicals industry for the production, we assume there will be a larger contribution in Energy. Nevertheless, Chemistry is thriving for new raw materials for various reasons.
In particular, coming out of the financial crisis and economic slowdown of the past years, the global chemical industry is seeing changes related to energy-price dynamics. The chemical industry is confronting unprecedented hydrocarbon price volatility. In addition, energy prices are significantly higher than they have been for the past two decades, and they are higher than they were coming out of previous recessions.
How is the trend of big corporation's involved in bioeconomy?
Looking at big chemicals companies such as e.g. BASF and Evonik, they are using industrial biotech for many years for the production of vitamins, amino acids or other specialty chemicals. But currently the industry is looking for processes, which might replace the early parts of the crude oil-based chemical value chain by using renewable raw materials and producing key chemicals, which then could be used as starting materials for the 'classical' production. One big source could be ubiquitous carbon dioxide which is under investigation. But there is still a long way to go!

Visiting San Juan Island
A Lot To See On Such A Beautiful Island
Sometimes you need a place to get away. San Juan Island is the perfect escape! It's a beautiful rocky island surrounded by the swirling waters of the Pacific Ocean. Sightseeing, wildlife, shopping or just lazing about are all perfectly acceptable options. It's your time, use it the way you choose!
Highlights of Our Visit
If you do find yourself on this lovely rock, we have a few suggestions of things you can see and do. Click the titles below for more information of each place.
Lime Kiln Point State Park
This 36 acre day use park is among the world's best spots for whale watching from land. The park boasts trails and a still operational lighthouse, built in 1919. The remnants of a lime kiln are present on the property. The kiln hearkens back to days when lime production was so prolific on San Juan Island. It's a great place to explore, picnic and if you're fortunate, see whales!
Sculpture Park
Founded in 1998, this 20 acre park displays some 125 sculptures from famed as well as little known artists. Situated in the Roche Harbor area, the surroundings are serene and have a quaint fishing village feel. There are pathways that wind through the various landscapes. The sculptures are on a 2 year rotation, unless sold prior to the 2 year cap. A wonderful place to be outdoors, appreciate the work of a great number of artists and if a piece really speaks to you, and is in your price range, you can even take it home!
Afterglow Vista
And now for something completely different.....(borrowed from Monty Python). Afterglow Vista is the McMillan Family Mausoleum. Sounds like a strange stop for sightseeing, but it's actually a beautiful structure. Positioned atop a small hill, surrounded by forest, this memorial is at once out of place and yet welcoming. An ornate fleur de lis ring sits as a crown upon 6 Roman columns. The open air monument's centerpiece is a limestone table and 6 stone chairs. The base of each chair holds the ashes of a McMillin family member as well as one containing the ashes of the family secretary. While all of this is intriguing enough, there is also a great amount of symbology incorporated in the construct of the place. National Treasure meets Da Vinci Code! John S. McMillin was a Mason, a Knight Templar, a Methodist as well as a wealthy business and family man. You can read the story of our visit here.
Cattle Point Lighthouse & Interpretive Area
An old lighthouse sits high upon a hill on this rocky point. The rolling, grassy hills end in cliffs that butt right up to the Strait of Juan De Fuca. The currents are very powerful and the need for a beacon is obvious. There are trails along the cliff line. Wildflowers, deer, eagles, hawks, osprey, marine life and more are to be encountered here. Beautiful and windswept.
American & English Camps
The island has preserved the history of a time when San Juan was occupied by English and American troops. These parks have buildings and trails and what remains from this 1859 time period. There is a visitors center in the American camp with artifacts and a ranger to talk history with. The English Camp boasts beautiful forest paths and some lovely water views. Take a look around both, there is great historical significance here.
Friday Harbor
The waterfront here is where the ferry landing resides. There is a marina lined with vessels, boardwalks, benches and numerous shops. It is a picturesque setting. You can find a keepsake, take home some locally roasted coffee, enjoy an ice cream cone, stroll the boardwalks as the sun sets, enjoy a meal, even have a cocktail. Many accommodations are within walking distance of Friday Harbor, so getting around is quite easy.
Mount Grant Preserve
A few Sundays a year the road to the top of Mount Grant is open. If you are present when the road is open, it's a steep but easy drive. The rest of the year you can hike to the top. This peak provides some lovely panoramas of the island. The top has benches and plenty of level areas that would be great for picnicking. Hike or drive, check out Mount Grant!
We have a separate article with more information about the Campaign to Save Mount Grant.
Krystal Acres Alpaca Farm
Just a really interesting place to stop and view alpacas. This 80 acre farm has a parking lot for you to stop, get out and roam around. There are some 70 plus alpacas in various fields. There is also a gift shop for purchasing items of alpaca wool.
Final Thoughts
Go for the marine life, the shopping or to just be somewhere else, but do make a trip to San Juan Island. History, mystery and loveliness await you. If you venture about the island you will assuredly see deer, many many deer. You may also see the iconic black fox that resides here. Whale watching is supreme, you may also see seals and sea lions. Plenty here for the outdoors enthusiast on water and land. We saw a lot over the 3 days we were there, but the pace of the island never felt rushed. Another great PNW destination. Bonus, you get to enjoy a ferry to get there!

Article body
Real Betis Balompié have closed the gap on the leaders in Spain after a 1-0 win at Deportivo Alavés on Sunday.
Decisive goal
Capi scored the decisive goal for Betis three minutes before half-time with a downward header to condemn last year's UEFA Cup finalists to their third successive defeat. To make matters worse for Alavés they had Fabricio Coloccini sent off two minutes from time.
Celta held
Meanwhile, RC Celta de Vigo missed the chance to lead the Primera División when they could only manage a goalless draw against Málaga CF in Sunday's late game. Celta, in fifth place before the match, could have taken pole position with a victory but were held by a resolute Malaga defence in front of 23,000 fans the Balaídos stadium.
Bolic double
Rayo Vallecano were 2-0 winners over CD Tenerife on Sunday, Elvir Bolic scored twice late on to condemn the bottom club to yet another away defeat. Tenerife finished with ten men after goalkeeper Sergio was sent off on the half-hour mark.
Mallorca beaten
There was better fortune for relegation-threatened Real Sociedad who achieved a 1-0 win over Sevilla FC. Oscar de Paula scored the all-important goal 20 minutes from the end. Sociedad are now clear of the bottom three with RCD Mallorca dropping down after a 1-0 defeat by Real Zaragoza. Toro Acuña scored the only goal after 57 minutes.
Osasuna fightback
Club Atlético Osasuna earned a 1-1 home draw against RCD Espanyol after going a goal down in the 17th minute to Raúl Tamudo's strike. Sabino Sánchez levelled for the hosts 22 minutes from time. UD Las Palmas also achieved a 1-1 scoreline at home against Real Valladolid. Fernando Sales put the visitors in the lead just before the interval but Orlando earned his side a point with a goal in the second half.

Bridgewater Township, located at the crossroads of Somerset County, affords its residents many unique and thrilling recreation applications for all ages to take pleasure in. And I say this because I professionally conduct social science research for recreation companies, and they are usually shocked about some issues that come up. The pictures exhibits how toned, ripped and muscle definition could be be obtain through dedicated coaching and correct vitamin.
Also, drug sellers major objective is to make money, so what they actually need to do is get you began with marijuana and ultimately get you to try rather more costly, dangerous drugs. Located at the old Naval Reserve Center site at One College Street, the ECHO Center helps Burlington use the Waterfront to analysis, educate, and promote stewardship of Lake Champlain.
There additionally gave the impression to be less boat traffic on this facet of the recreation area than the others. Recreation Committee meets on the primary Monday of the month at 7 pm (no assembly in June, July or August). The metropolis provides a free shuttle from the foot of College Street, near the ECHO Center – to the Church Street Marketplace and further up the hill to the University of Vermont and the Fletcher Allen Medical Center. What is needed in most communities is for local authorities to recognize the value of parks and recreation and choose to dedicate sufficient funding.
If you purchase your Recreation Passport by way of the Secretary of State, you additionally obtain access to the statewide Passport Perks purchasing low cost program , giving you reductions to your favorite local businesses and services. The Pendleton Recreation Association is a privately run non-profit affiliation of area residents set as much as provide recreation programs for the youth of Pendleton area.

Dolphin Rhythm
Title: Dolphin Rhythm
Date Creation: 1998
Location: 6801 Gaylord Parkway – Exterior TSG
"The subliminal theme of the sculpture is dominance of the viewer by heavy mass existing in space with a physical scale that is comprehensible. The sculpture is monumental to individual human scale. It was created for a one-to-one relationship (viewer/sculpture) as opposed to a form overpowering a specific building, landscape, or collective horde of people.
Displacement of space is a reality with this work. The visual emphasis is mass existing in space with an illusion of an evolving sequence. The inferred kinetic energy is in the mind of the viewer.
I like the fact that steel has no monetary value. Bronze and materials like that have an assigned value, but with steel, the only value it has is what I make of it artistically. Anything I do in giving it a personality is where it derives its value." - John Brough Miller, Artist
About the Artist:
John Brough Miller lived and worked in Argyle, TX, before passing away at the age of 77 in 2010. He received a B.S. in Education from Central Michigan University and a M.F.A. from Cranbrook Academy of Art.
He has spent most of his life designing and producing large-scale steel sculptures and teaching.His teaching career included classes in Michigan and the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts Museum School, but he is best known for his nearly thirty years at Texas Women's University in Denton, TX. While at TWU, he chaired the Department of Visual Arts; was a member of the Graduate School Faculty and the MFA Division of the Federation of North Texas Area Universities. He was given the title of Professor Emeritus in 1992.
His monumental steel sculptures have been a favorite of architects and public art projects. Among his awards and commissions are installations for the Los Angeles International Airport; the Greater Denton Arts Council; Lubbock, TX; Abilene, TX; The Studios at Las Colinas; Florida State University; Amarillo Art Center, and the University of Missouri. He has been commissioned by several leading architectural firms for monumental steel works for commercial projects around the country.

Police in Bucks County, PA called on the individual or individuals who placed an anti-police sign near a Falls Township business to come to the police station and learn what police officers actually do for a living instead of basing their anti-police attitude on "ignorance."
The anti-police sign hung in the middle of the night read, "Only Good Cop - Is A Dead Cop."
Lt. Henry Ward of the Falls Township Police Department said, "I know whoever did this did it out of ignorance. I would like to sit down with them and show them what we do as police officers so they can base their opinion on facts and not ignorance. I doubt they will do this because they hung the sign in the middle of the night like a true coward that I think they are."

Justice Kagan's opinion this morning in Caraco v. Novo Nordisk has an interesting passage about how context changes meaning. The relevant statute says that a party can bring a counterclaim if "the patent does not claim . . . an approved method of using the drug." The question before the Court was whether that means that the counterclaim can be brought only if the patent claims no method of using the drug, or only if in doesn't claim that particular method of using the drug. Justice Kagan writes:
Truth be told, the answer to the general question "What does 'not an' mean?" is "It depends": The meaning of the phrase turns on its context. See Johnson v. United States, 559 U. S. ___, ___ (2010) (slip op., at 5) ("Ultimately, context determines meaning"). "Not an" sometimes means "not any," in the way Novo claims. If your spouse tells you he is late because he "did not take a cab," you will infer that he took no cab at all (but took the bus instead). If your child admits that she "did not read a book all summer," you will surmise that she did not read any book (but went to the movies a lot). And if a sports-fan friend bemoans that "the New York Mets do not have a chance of winning the World Series," you will gather that the team has no chance whatsoever (because they have no hitting). But now stop a moment. Suppose your spouse tells you that he got lost because he "did not make a turn." You would understand that he failed to make a particular turn, not that he drove from the outset in a straight line. Suppose your child explains her mediocre grade on a college exam by saying that she "did not read an assigned text." You would infer that she failed to read a specific book, not that she read nothing at all on the syllabus. And suppose a lawyer friend laments that in her last trial, she "did not prove an element of the offense." You would grasp that she is speaking not of all the elements, but of a particular one. The examples could go on and on, but the point is simple enough: When it comes to the meaning of "not an," context matters.
An interesting passage for its professorial style, use of gendered pronouns, and dicta on the Mets. Oh, and for what it's worth, Justice Kagan reportedly is a Mets fan.

Three Characteristics of the Kingdom Gospel
In my post, "The Kingdom Gospel," I shared the nature of the Kingdom Gospel of Jesus. In this post, I'd like to draw out three characteristics of the kingdom gospel to show why it is unique.
The kingdom of God grows by investing in a minority population. Jesus describes the kingdom of God through parables and claims that those who have spiritual insight will understand. Those who are not inclined to hear cannot understand. "For they look, but they don't really see. They hear, but they don't really listen or understand" (Matt. 13:13 NLT).
Using a parable of sowing seed, Jesus explained how the word of God receives a variety of responses. His audience was observant Jews who were expecting a political and military revolution but who were not inclined to believe a rural, untrained rabbi. So Jesus told them that some who hear the message will not accept it. Others will respond but be lack luster, nominal, or casual. But the good news was that others hearers would respond and produce a harvest of their own, reproducing from a third to a hundred times as much (Matt. 13:18–23).
We could argue the parable gives the impression that a majority will either not respond or will fall away and produce no fruit. So Jesus may have been implying to his disciples here that they should focus on nurturing the minority who respond positively. In this they would be following their Lord, for he spends his time where his efforts with produce fruit. The fact that he spent most of his time recorded in the gospels with these few men is evidence. As disciples of Jesus, we should not fret over those who refuse to follow him but focus our energy on responsive people who will grow.
The kingdom gospel teaches us to obey God by living intentionally in the middle of diversity and ambiguity. Jesus uses another parable to liken life in the kingdom to a farmer who planted some wheat, but then weeds grew up with the wheat. The wheat and weeds were so intermingled that the farmer couldn't pull the weeds without destroying the wheat. To get any harvest, the two had to be allowed to grow up side-by-side and then separated at harvest time when both were cut down. Jesus explains that the wheat plants are his followers and the weeds are the disciples of the enemy. In the end the angels will separate the two, and off to their respective abodes they will go, wheat to heaven and the weeds to life without God (Matt. 13:36–42).
Following Jesus requires us to live next to those who do not believe or follow our King. It also means we have an obligation to love them as Christ has modeled for us. We are not charged with determining and declaring who is in the kingdom and who is out. Only an omniscient being is able to do this, and we are clearly not qualified. We are simply to live and love, pray and tell, and some of those weeds will develop ears to hear. The strategy is that if we live among them, we have access. The institutional church does not have the same degree of access or opportunities that its members have every day.
The kingdom gospel reminds us that growth is slow but will ultimately permeate everything. Jesus uses two illustrations to explain how his plan is in all of life, a mustard seed and yeast in bread. A mustard seed is small, but it grows so large that it can provide birds with shade and even a home. This illustration reminds us of many Christians who started with only a helping hand but went on to build orphanages and hospitals. The mustard plant is like the Red Cross, or Christians who help when disaster strikes, or those with a Christian legacy.
Yeast, of course, permeates an entire loaf. Jesus' point is that like yeast, his word spreads in a quiet way, but once it does, it cannot be stopped any more that yeast can be removed from a loaf to keep it from rising. Like yeast, the King's disciples must be worked into the middle of the community to have the greatest contact and impact.

This is the first post in the TRG series, which focuses on one of Sasaki's in-house research and resource arms, the Technical Resource Group. Subsequent posts can be found at the bottom of this article.
Sasaki's in-house research and resource arms, which include Sasaki Strategies, Sustainability, and the Technical Resource Group (TRG), consistently look for ways to improve workflows through research and innovation for the benefit of our practice and the industry at large.
"'Business as usual' doesn't cut it anymore with conventional fee-for-service as a percentage of construction cost contracts—it's a race to the bottom," says senior associate and architect Brad Prestbo, whose active involvement in TRG over the years has helped to shape a lasting innovation culture. "We are disrupting our industry by questioning why and how we work, from the smallest workflow adjustment to a major shift in building technology that vastly improves how humans experience our buildings."
An Innovation Culture
Literature on innovative cultures abound, but at Sasaki it is the very DNA of our studio that allows pockets of innovation to form and then spread into many areas of the practice—overlapping and picking up more passionate innovators along the way. Leadership is diffuse with thirty principals heading a 270-person practice, which can be an asset in creating room for ideas to percolate. "A relatively flat organization with three major areas of practice—site, architecture and interiors, and planning and urban design—gives rise to healthy opportunity for experimentation," explains managing principal, Pablo Savid-Buteler, LEED AP. "It's the way that works best for us and we have seen so many young designers take initiative in pioneering new software and fabrication techniques that have implications for not just us at Sasaki, but the industry as a whole."
"The prevailing belief is that a good idea can come from anywhere and with just one advocate and a supporting team, anyone can chase an idea," adds, senior associate and architect Gerry Gutierrez, AIA, CDT, who has led several in-depth research and innovation projects in his time at Sasaki.
Prestbo and Gutierrez are taking their learnings to their peers around the country, presenting on how the architectural industry is being disrupted. They will present their talk, "Architecture Disrupted: Transforming an Evolving Industry" on eight separate occasions by year's end. The two aim to engage fellow designers in thinking about how to cultivate this nimble think tank mentality within their own walls by leveraging the unique cultural and structural aspects of their respective practices.
A highly innovative experimentation ethos, of course, brings about the occasional dead-ends and wild goose chases, but even those false starts are not without their benefits.
"You learn even from the mistakes and mess-ups," says associate Meredith McCarthy, a designer who has been hands-on in experimenting with Sasaki's Digital Collaboration tools. "Like anything else in design, sometimes you discover that one serendipitous insight you need within your mistakes. Sometimes those offshoots help unlock the very problem you're grappling with."
For Sasaki's part, it remains this hands-off, looser support of innovation that allows the breakthroughs to happen. In the past year alone, Sasaki has expanded its grassroots R&D efforts exponentially:
A small team of maker enthusiasts jump-started a thriving maker culture with a humming hub within our on-site FabLab, complete with CNC Router and 3D printers spread around the office; designers fed up with cumbersome software limitations have started scripting their own workarounds to revolutionize the efficiency and quality of our architecture and landscape architecture work; a SWAT team of tech-savvy designers and researchers are integrating virtual reality into everyday architecture workflows so that designers can augment their designs with the information that only a full-scale, 3D-immersive experience can provide.
"With so much energy contained within our own walls, we're now turning our attention to connecting with others. We know our peers are just as energized, and we stand to learn a lot from sharing knowledge and research," says Prestbo, who co-founded the Boston Society of Architect's MakeTank in 2016—a cross-disciplinary group of designers, fabricators, programmers, and self-described "makers" interested in exploring the intersection of making and architecture and connecting diverse communities, all in search of the next frontiers of fabrication.
In that spirit of dialogue, this coming year our designers will be taking to the conference circuit to start sharing the fruits of their labor with the industry. Stay tuned for more details.

AI allows individualized predictions for expectant mothers and newborn children. The aim of the individual recommendations is a positive experience for the user combined with activity that is beneficial for the glucose level.
About 52,000 women give birth in Finland every year, and 18 per cent of them – nearly 10,000 – are diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Of these, roughly half develop type 2 diabetes later on.
CleverHealth Network, an ecosystem coordinated by the Hospital District of Helsinki and Uusimaa (HUS), is now launching its first development project with funding granted by Business Finland. The main partners in the gestational diabetes project are HUS, Aalto University, the University of Helsinki, Elisa and Fujitsu. The project is run by FCAI researchers Pekka Marttinen ja Giulio Jacucci.
The project aims to improve the treatment and monitoring of gestational diabetes by developing a mobile application for measuring the mother's blood glucose levels, physical activity, nutrition, pulse and daily weight and storing it in the cloud in real time.

There was the sense of anticipation, in the air that day,
as they all waited, with, raised eyes,
under the Humber Bridge, in the wind they stood,
beneath the cold autumnal skies.
Gulls in their numbers, swirled over their heads,
silhouetted again the pale skyline,
as they watched from above, this unusual event,
that would soon make the news headlines.
Suddenly, there were, gasps from the crowd,
as Spider Man came into view,
over the side of the bridge he appeared,
dressed in his costume of red and blue.
The wind tugged at the wires, as he began his descent,
accompanied by his wife at his side,
just feet apart, they slowly dropped,
as his daughters watched on with pride.
The crowd then all cheered, as they reached the ground,
followed by, a Hip Hip Hooray!
There was laughter as their harnesses were unclipped
on this unusual Family Fun Day.
'He's my hero Dad,' a little girl said,
as she watched him come down though the air
'He's amazing Dad,' and she clutched his hand,
with her wide eyes, fixed in a stare.
This feat would have challenged any able bodied man,
but this Spider Man has Motor Neurone Disease,
when asked by the crowd, who'd assembled below,
he said, 'It was just a breeze!'
Spider Man's name is Jason Liversidge,
who is a man that is truly exceptional,
this was just another of his daring feats,
that is nothing short of incredible.
The collections went around, to raise the funds,
for this most terrible, cruel condition
and also for the Yorkshire Fire Fighter crew,
who helped bring Jason's dream to fruition.
But it doesn't stop here, as he now has plans
to be the fastest in a wheelchair,
he aims to speed, as quick as the wind
and we will all, most certainly be there!

the weather has turned
nasty, driving rain sheeting
down over city
streets. below my boots, puddles
form, little rivers running.
it becomes habit
to prepare coffee or tea
in a travel flask,
still hot and ready to drink
no matter the conditions.
life is paused as rain
opaque in its heaviness
whips at the window.
later, the clouds clear and the
sun gleams harsh on glossy glass.

Dell issued the biggest product recall in computer history after video footage showed a laptop bursting into flames during a conference in Osaka, Japan.
Similar incidents have been reported across the world. Dell said it had been told of six instances of batteries overheating, causing damage to furniture and belongings but no personal injuries.
[edited by: Syzygy at 2:12 pm (utc) on Aug. 15, 2006]
Due to the geotargetting of their webservers, the best thing is to go to [dell.com...] and you should see a "battery recall" link bottom left of page.
Dell Inc. on Monday recalled 4.1 million Sony-manufactured laptop batteries, saying they could overheat and pose a fire risk.
The Dell-branded lithium-ion batteries were provided as service replacements by the Round Rock, Texas, computer maker, or included with laptops from April 1, 2004 through July 18, 2006. The notebooks sold for between $500 and $2,850, and individual batteries ranged from $60 to $180.
The recalled batteries were made by a unit of Sony Corp. They were sold with the following Dell notebook computers: the Dell Latitude D410, D500, D505, D510, D520, D600, D610, D620, D800, and D810; the Inspiron 6000, 8500, 8600, 9100, 9200, 9300, 500m, 510m, 600m, 6400, E1505, 700m, 710m, 9400, and E1705; and the Dell Precision M20, M60, M70 and M90 mobile workstations; and XPS, XPS Gen2, XPS M170 and XPS M1710.
Dell battery recall site:
Instead of risking Sony again, I bought a �1,500 Dell laptop 2 months ago - less risk (or so I thought...)
I hope Sony gets taken to the cleaners over this.
They've had laptop overheating issues for almost 3 years & haven't sorted them out because cashflow was obviously more important.
You can only fool some of the people some of the time....

Thank you for participating in the Dell recall of certain Sony batteries. Your replacement order has been received and you can expect to receive your new battery within 20 business days. You may continue to use your notebook computer safely by turning the system off, ejecting the battery, and using the AC adapter and power cord to power your system until your replacement battery is received.
20 business days! Well, luckily I have 2 laptops. And one of them is not a Dell.
Aftermarket "Hi-capacity Rechargeable Notebook Computer Batteries" sold at national and regional resellers and retailers and through online stores between January 2004 and May 2005 for $70-$199 in various packaging -- if you beleive you have one, call "Battery Biz" 800-780-6552... reason: "an internal short can cause the battery cells to overheat posing a fire hazard"
NOTE: their phone message after hours directs you to a website; <www.highcapacity.com/exchange> but the page isn't there...

Yay we are home! I've just loaded all 607 photos to my computer-- eee that is going to take some time to go through. I always just snap snap snap away at these kinds of events and hope that I got a few good ones. : )
It was a great visit and I was really sad to leave my family. Saying see you later is always bitter sweet.
This year Cody turned 18 and he got a tattoo! He and Kayla now have the same one that our Uncle Todd had on his neck. Very cool!
Here's the fam!
This is Cody and his girlfriend Raquel. She is amazing and has changed my little bro in tremendously sweet ways. Love has a way of doing that for you.
The Grad. Headed home. Our long arm of the day. Cliff is in the kitchen cooking din din and I am fixin (tee hee a little Texan for ya) to get ready for my work week.
Does it feel like Sunday to anyone else?

Bell X1 (pronounced Bell Ex One)- "The album 'Neither Am I' has been described by those in the know 'as the best thing to come out of Ireland in years, showing an underlying genius and the hints of the greatness which will undoubtedly emerge'."
"When you can find something appealing about every song on an album, even the ones you wouldn't call your favourites, you know you've got something really special. A turn of phrase or an interesting melody in the songs here finds you really engaging with the album, and the band behind it."
band members:
- Paul Noonan: vocals, guitars
- David Geraghty: guitars
- Marc Aubele: guitars, keyboards
- Dominic Philips: bass
- Rory Doyle: drums
sample lyrics:
"Someday we'll all wear a crown,
Someday we'll be the fairest of them all,
Someday we'll have an open top bus parade,
Someday we'll do the sorry sorry charade."

What a close month awaits us. From tomorrow those who seek adventures in Ancient Egypt will have at their disposal 'Assassin's Creed: Origins', while those who seek a magical trip with Mario may opt for 'Super Mario Odyssey', but lovers of games of action can be done with 'Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus'.
The truth is that Bethesda has put the batteries to become one of the most prominent companies this fall. We already enjoyed recently 'Dishonored: The Death of the Stranger' or 'The Evil Within 2' and now returns to the fray with this new installment of this mythical saga of FPS that returns through the front door after the events that took place in 'Wolfenstein: The New Order'. Continue reading "Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus" undoubtedly one of the best FPS of the year

Conversation cloud is an interactive design project that creates a visual representation of discourse in a public space. Words spoken within the project area are transformed into a animated word cloud that is projected live on the floor. This creates meaningful "real world" public discourse that invites others to join and participate in an increasingly digital age.
The project has two components: listening benches and a projection post. The benches define the active conversation area and are equiped with condenser microphones to acurately distinguish spoken words in the area. The post represents a recognizable icon and enables the neccessary height for the laser projection system.
By combining distruptive technologies it is possible to analyze spoken word, create real time animation and project it into a public space in a safe manner in diffrent lighting conditions. The video demostrates the text to word animation alogrithem developed in cooperation with Michael Mageric.
The project is a second place winner in the Tel Aviv Municipal Architect office competition "Public Discourse Space".

So this week has been crazy and wonderful! Some highlights: 9-20-14
Tuesday: One year cake!
Wednesday: Hermana Albornoz and I began our branch's mission program of "Embarked in the Work of Salvation"! We made a huge poster, swimming in glitter for days, and prepared a branch calendar of the branch activities that we are going to begin. We're thinking about campfire nights on the river, cake competitions, game nights...anything we can to unite the branch! (If your ward or branch had any cool activities, let me know! We'd love to put them into play!)
Thursday: Moved to our old house that has a bajillion mirrors. Any Narcissist would love it. There are mirrors every way you turn. Made our way out to a tiny town to visit a lady named Rosa. We talked about the law of chastity and how civil union just doesn´t cut it. Her friend, Carlos, stayed a bit and decided he and his wife will stop living together and get married so they can better obey God's commandments. Eek! They also gave us like a thousand mandarins. And they were delicious. We missed the last bus that passes through Catarama and God gave us another little miracle with a Evangelist pastor stopped and gave us a lift. God is SO aware of our needs.
Friday: Moved back to our old house, due to miscommunication. That leaves the Narcissist house to the incoming Elders, hahaha Also, we painted our branch president's house and ate five times over. We passed by Gustavo, our investigator that has read the Book of Mormon three times and the Doctrine and Covenants and the Gospel Principles book and is finally preparing for baptism (yay!) and shared some pinapple cake for his birthday. Saturday: Met a little lady named Lourdes.At first, she had a wall up and made sure that she loved to listen to all religions but was not into that baptizing stuff. The Spirit guided our words and we learned about her daughter who had passed away recently, and her heart was softened. She then took us behind her house and made her son get guava, or as I like to call it, "cotton fruit". Guava is a long, green sword looking thing and inside are these big, black seeds covered in a very sweet cotton fur. You break the sword covering and you eat it. And it's amazing. On our way to our next appointment, a man cutting down a tree, pulled out a trash bag and filled it with perfume-worthy flowers. Then we ate patacones with the Vinces family that night and watched their 18 year old daughter, Daniella, light up with interest as we introduced the Book of Mormon. She started searchingthrough the book from front to back. She even read the publication date. She's amazing.
Hermana Albornoz, our ward mission leader and I all shared talks about the Work of Salvation. Although we had very little time to prepare, I feel that Heavenly Father really guided our thoughts and spiritual insights. Hermana Albornoz talked about Finding People to Teach, I talked about Retaining Recent Converts and Brother Veloz talked about Resucing the Less Actives. In my talk, I felt impressed to share the story of Tony. The little, blind Chinese woman in our ward that walked past the church one day, sat in on a sacrament meeting (and does not speak any English), felt the Spirit and decided to be baptized. Because my mother was a faithful visiting teacher and friend, always stopping by Tony's house in the mornings to bring her to church and memorzing bits and pieces of Chinese to communicate with her, Tony is active and strengthening her testimony every day.
In the second hour, we felt impressed to share the Restoration with the Gospel Principles class. Everyone had a pamphlet to read and they all participated. Our GOLDEN investigators, the Vinces family (who ALL came to church!) were all very attentive and the Spirit was strong. After church, they all accepted to prepare for baptism this 11th of October!
The third hour, we joined the Relief Society and the Priesthood and trained them in how to share the gospel. We even did practices with the members (us pretending to be their neighbors or friends) using the "Family: A Proclamation" pamphlets! And all of the members are more excited to get involved in the work! Hermana Albornoz and I had barely briefed our plan for this training, but the Lord helped us so much! We were needed the entire day in meetings and I felt like my brain was going to fry from over-usage and too much multi-.tasking. But as always, the Lord was aware of my needs and sent immediate comfort and basically...super natural abilities.
I am so grateful to have a God that knows our needs.
when feeling discouraged or down or overwhelmed...pray. It workds miracles.
Hermana Scott

How I Became Optimistic
For the most part, those around me tend to think of me as relatively cheerful and optimistic. I want to tell you the story of how that came to be.
For several years when I was a teenager, I felt that facing reality meant I mustn't fool myself by being optimistic. Studiously avoiding optimism had the side-effect of making me less cheerful. But then I read the Maxwell Maltz's book Psycho-Cybernetics. Maxwell made an argument that changed my life. He argues that visualizing positive outcomes is a way to be prepared in case something good happened and a way to instruct one's subconcious mind to strive for that outcome. In other words, visualizing a desired outcome is a way to tell one's subconscious mind what its objective function should be.
To me this was like a bolt out of the blue. Visualizing a positive outcome was not a claim that that outcome would happen, it was simply presenting a certain image to one's mind without any claim to inevitability, in a way meant to increase the probability that the positive image might be realized. Thus, it was possible to carefully maintain objectivity for analytical decision-making and evaluation purposes, while still gaining the psychological benefits of optimism.
Ever since the day that logic made its way into my brain, I have allowed myself to be relatively optimistic, in what I hope is a careful way, and I have been noticeably more cheerful than I was before.
For many of you, this book was before your time, but it was reasonably important in its day, and in its effect on later events. Below is what the Wikipedia article on Psycho-Cybernetics has to say:
Psycho-Cybernetics is a classic self-help book, written by Maxwell Maltz in 1960 and published by the non-profit Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation.[1] Motivational and self-help experts in personal development, including Zig Ziglar, Tony Robbins, Brian Tracy have based their techniques on Maxwell Maltz. Many of the psychological methods of training elite athletes are based on the concepts in Psycho-Cybernetics as well.[2] The book combines the cognitive behavioral technique of teaching an individual how to regulate self-concept developed by Prescott Lecky with the cybernetics of Norbert Wiener and John von Neumann. The book defines the mind-body connection as the core in succeeding in attaining personal goals.[3]
Maltz found that his plastic surgery patients often had expectations that were not satisfied by the surgery, so he pursued a means of helping them set the goal of a positive outcome through visualization of that positive outcome.[3] Maltz became interested in why setting goals works. He learned that the power of self-affirmation and mental visualisation techniques used the connection between the mind and the body. He specified techniques to develop a positive inner goal as a means of developing a positive outer goal. This concentration on inner attitudes is essential to his approach, as a person's outer success can never rise above the one visualized internally.
I can't guarantee that Zig Ziglar, Tony Robbins and Brian Tracy maintain the same distinction between analytical realism and mental-imagery optimism that I try to, but their embrace of Psycho-Cybernetics indicates some of the reach it has had.

The amount of San Jose medical marijuana that you take will vary based on the type and severity of your condition, the level of experience you have with cannabis, and the delivery method you choose for your medicine. "Start low and go slow" is an indispensable suggestion to follow. You will likely require experimenting with a few different products before finding the product and dose that works best for you.
Recommended Dosing
It is imperative that clients rely on the recommendation from their healthcare practitioner to employ sound clinical judgment for their particular conditions. Dosing for medical cannabis is still relatively undecided. Further effectiveness and safety studies are needed to find out an exact dosing schedule for individuals and their particular conditions. Find expert advice about thegreenace read here
Whether smoking or using vaporizer or ingesting edible oil, the general guideline is to start low and go slow. Patients should start with a very low dose and stop therapy if any undesirable or unacceptable effects take place. While using a vaporizer or smoking, patients should wait between inhalations for a few minutes to gauge the strength of the effect. With edible oils, patients permit at least an hour for the product to work through the digestive track and notice effects. Wait at least four hours before the second dose of San Jose medical marijuana.
Delivery Methods
-Edible Oils – People who are new to edible cannabis oil should start their therapy with a dose less than 0.5 ml. In contrast to the vaporized, it is crucial to consider that marijuana taken orally has a slower inception time as it is absorbed through the digestive system. Wait at least 4 hours after the first dose before taking the second dose.
-Vaporization – It is the best delivery method for dried flower marijuana. Contrasting smoking, vaporization is attained by heating the marijuana to a temperature that vaporizes, but does not burn the cannabinoids, virtually eliminating the health risks associated with smoking. The effects of inhaled marijuana will be felt in a matter of minutes. It is suggested to pause between inhalations of San Jose medical marijuana to let the dose to be fully realized.
Numerous surveys have shown that the average dose of medical cannabis is 1 to 3 g/day when vaporized or smoked. According to a study, 25 mg of pharmaceutical-grade marijuana with a THC content of 9.4% was effective in lessening the intensity of painFind Article, improved sleep and was well tolerated when smoked as a single inhalation 3x/day for five days.
