Hey lads, Matt here to bring you the summary of this week's breaking EPL news. I will analyse how this may affect our early team drafts and which potential bargains may have emerged during the pre-season, so let's begin!
Firstly I will look at the transfer news – Big news has broken today that Carroll has been loaned to West Ham for a £2m loan fee. This will create a stir in the world of FPL as it means he should get the number one role at The Hammers which could return him to his best form that we saw with Newcastle. Priced at 8.5 he could turn out to be a bargain but we must remember newly promoted clubs do not score to well. Expect him to be a part of a lot of West ham's attacking play and will produce decent results, but at 8.5 there are better options in more productive teams (Bent and Jelavic).
Sunderland have reportedly bid £10m for wolves striker Steven Fletcher. This affects me as a Wolves fan but it is hard to tell how he would fare fantasy wise. He was very solid while at Wolves, scoring at least 15 goals in each season he plays. Whether he can become the main striker at Sunderland and what price he would be entered at is unknown, so I can't really tell you any more there.
Another breaking news story last night was Everton's successful bid to return Pienaar to his old club. Priced at 6.5 due to his lack of game time at spurs he was a bargain towards the end of last year as he stormed home on loan at the Toffees. With a permanent deal seemingly agreed and his cheap price tag, he is a must watch. Expect him to get regular first team game time and return to his best form. Definitely considering him for my team and so should everyone else.
Junior Hoilett has completed his move from Blackburn to QPR. Priced at just 6.5 he seems an absolute steal so definitely keep an eye out for him! Other editions include Snodgrass (6.0) at Norwich and Boselli (5.5) at Wigan. Boselli burnt a lot of managers last season (including me) with his great pre-season form. He is producing similar results this time round so he could be a great POD if you want to take the risk.
Chelsea has continued their spending spree bringing in Brazilian young gun Oscar. He joins both Hazard's and Marin in the fight for the Chelsea midfield. Mata must also be thrown into the GW1 mix now as Spain have surprisingly crashed out of the Olympics, although you can still expect Hazard to be a part of the first team so no worries there. I don't think Oscar will be used straight away so perhaps not a starting option.
There is now talk that Dempsey is trying to push through his move to Liverpool. If this were to happen his fantasy potential could significantly decrease with penalty duties uncertain and he will have to get used to the new game style also. Steer clear if this move goes through.
Modric seems to have finally got his dream move to Real Madrid for a supposed fee of 36 million pounds. If this goes through it shouldn't affect any managers too greatly as he was never really an option anyway.
The RVP saga is continuing, which must be worrying for fans of Arsenal as it is becoming a lot like last season already. Reports suggest Juventus are preparing a 20 million pound bid and are hoping to get their man. This will be best for both arsenal fans and fantasy managers as it will assure the new boys in Podolski and Giroud get the best possible chance to shine in the EPL. Keep an eye of them.
United seem to be no closer to signing Everton left back Baines. It will be interesting to see how Baines would fare at United but at the moment the deal is looking unlikely. Having said that United are re-considering a higher bid, and if they do he will produce similar returns as Patrice Evra at the same price of 7.0. He will be one to watch if this move eventuates, if he isn't anyway.
So that finally rounds up the transfer news, lastly a look at any injury scares coming through. The main worry is with Bale (9.5) and his ankle injury thanks to Charlie Adam and his un-necessary, cowardly challenge on Bale. The scans have come through without any sign of a serious injury, which is great news for spurs fans and us fantasy managers! No other standout injury concerns, although Vidic seems on track for return. If he doesn't make it back keep an eye out for Phil Jones as a cheap way into United's backline (6.0).
Keep an eye out for Adzman's upcoming wrap of the latest pre-season games but if you haven't heard Aguero was back in form with a goal and 2 assists last night. Tevez (9.0) amongst the scorers also as he stakes his claim as a bargain pick. Worryingly most of the EPL clubs have been struggling during their pre-season matches so it is hard to get a read on their fantasy assets. With no one player really standing out as yet we must wait patiently before making our final team selections.
So that wraps up the news from around the world of football, and in particular the EPL. I will be bringing you more news wraps as we edge closer to deadline day, so in the meantime keep an eye out for the next big issues article coming tomorrow morning, focusing on some tactics you may use throughout the season. Until then you can leave a comment in the section below to have a chat, or just tweet me @MattCraigDT. Don't forget to keep up with the news by following us @FPLaddicts. Until then just keep tweaking your squads and countdown, only 18 days to go!

It's been a busy past few weeks. Late August I flew back from Amsterdam after competing in the Laser Radial Youth World Championships in Medemblik, the Netherlands. Since completing my application and being approved to represent Canada back in March 2017 this event has been my sole training focus.
My goal for this event was to make gold fleet and I am happy to report I achieved this goal finishing up 58th out of 273 in the men's fleet. Some highlights of my regatta include a 6th in the first race and a finish of 2nd in the 5th race. I learned a lot from this event about what I need to do order to finish well in this caliber fleet.
I was disappointed with how I sailed in the final series in gold fleet but it serves as a sign that I need to spend more time and get more experience in the top fleets to improve. I look forward to applying the take aways from this experience when I hopefully get chance to take another crack at the worlds next year in Laser Standard at the U21 worlds in Gdynia, Poland.
My thanks to the Struthers family - for your help with organizing our coach boat, on water coaching support, for being great sightseeing, photographers and dinner companions and to Norman for being a great training partner.
Special thanks also to my dad for being on the water every day to coach and support us. Your experience and perspective are greatly appreciated and I am grateful for the time you are able to spend with me.

Vote Today/
Today is the North Carolina primary. We're not used to our vote actually counting (a May 6th primary? Come on.) and the state is all a flutter. Blair and I were at the polls at 6:30, when they opened, and there was actually a short line--almost unheard of in our tiny community. There were a couple of young girls in front of us, voting in their first election. Good for them.
I'm amazed at the number of women who don't vote. Who feel like their voice doesn't matter in the least and no one will listen to what they need or what they want. There are more women than men in this country. If we would just grab hold of the reins and get serious about making our voices heard, think of the changes we could enact. As a small example, it still just absolutely floors me that some health insurance will cover Viagra prescriptions but not birth control. Are you freaking kidding me?? Tell me that's not a male-dominated decision.
Anyway, this post isn't a political rant. It's just to say that Democrat or Republican or Independent, we all ought to exercise our right--our privledge--to vote.
I'll wear my "I Voted" sticker with pride today.

Trauma Informed Mindfulness programs
trauma-informed mindfulness…
Through working with schools, tour groups and communities around the world, I noticed a significant need for the language of mindfulness to be introduced to the conversation.
Due to the increasing prevalence of trauma in everyday life, it is imperative that all group education programs train facilitators in basic trauma practices and socio-emotional regulation.
I spent three years in the US developing best practice curriculum to offer these programs to teachers, counselors, facilitators and the larger community. The Mind Body Project travels internationally to offer trauma-informed mindfulness programs that create safe spaces, offer experiential programs and facilitate top-tier programs to decrease stress and enhance resilience.
-Erin Lee Henshaw, Co-founder
30-HR Trainings
10-Week Program
Before we Meet:
3-6 months out: Identification of Organizational Challenges and Goals via Online Conferencing
1-3 months out: Development of personalized curriculum or Out of the Box Curriculum
At Your Organization:
Week 1: Kick-Off Program (From 2-hours to a Weekend Retreat)
Weeks 2-9: Brain-Changing Curriculum Options:
-16 (30 min) Brain Breaks
-8-Week Workshop for Facilitators
-Supplementary After-School Workshops for the community
*Each program incorporates breath, movement and mindset
Week 10: Real-life Application of Skills and Debrief
3-Day Trauma-Informed Mindfulness Training for Facilitators
Post Program Options:
-Online Chat Groups and Email Forums
-Access to TMBP and Thought Leader Resources
-Online Consults as requested
That's a lot to take-in, and these elements can be adjusted to fit your needs. For example, we could start with a few workshops or programs. We like to develop a unique lens for each client, so that we integrate your language and strategies into programming.
Let's start exercising those brain waves...

If you haven't heard of Insanity yet, let's just say it's not for the faint-hearted. Insanity has been and still is one of the most challenging fitness programs on the market.
As a total body workout that requires no gym or equipment, the program is based on a fitness method called "max interval training".
Max interval training consists of 3-minute work intervals, with 30-second periods of rest in between. In some people, exercising at this extreme intensity level will burn up to 1,000 calories an hour.
It had to take someone very special (or insane) to introduce Insanity to the Shanghai fitness community.
Born in Venezuela, and growing up both in his home country and the U.S., Richardson Manzol came to China around seven years ago.
After an exciting first year in China and having gained 10 kilograms, he decided to get back in shape and stumbled upon a completely new type of workout. Intrigued by the promise of quick weight loss and simultaneous muscle gain, Richardson embarked on a 2-month Insanity journey right in his apartment with the help of a DVD program.
Needless to say, his results were amazing and soon people around him started to notice and ask questions. They wanted to get in shape too - and fast.
Already being more and more comfortable in guiding his friends and acquaintances towards great results, it was the small nudge of a fellow coach that inspired him to actually go and get certified as Insanity Trainer.
This was back in 2014 when the majority of the fitness community in Shanghai hadn't heard much yet about high intensity training or the like. Naturally, challenges arose.
Being driven by the urge to help people in a more professional way, and wanting to get closer to future students, he went from studio to studio to introduce the new workout. It was a slow process involving a lot of free trial classes, and the tough realization that while people loved Insanity they also dropped out frequently. The market wasn't ready yet.
Fast forward to 2017 and things have changed a lot inside the Shanghai fitness community but also for Richardson. These days, he feels that it is easier to organize events, plan classes, and manage groups. He's come a long way from not knowing anyone in the industry to becoming a part-time fitness coach with a huge and vibrant network of friends, clients, and fellow coaches.
His real passion though is teaching and motivating people on a larger scale. He's frequently invited to run Insanity classes during local events, but has also taken his passion further on a regional and even an international level. Some of his favorite engagements were for example preparing participants for races such as Tough Mudder, Spartan, or marathons. He enjoys thinking back to these moments.
He also fondly remembers the time that he gave a talk at the Fitness Expo FIBO in 2016 - something that he'd like to continue doing.
Most recently, his passion has even driven him to organize a few large events in Panama in Central America - with over one hundred people working out with him in a park he was truly in his element.
Apart from being a professional Fitness Coach, In-Line Speed Skater, and Marathon Runner, Richardson is also vegan and very well known in the vegan community in Shanghai. Preparing delicious and cruelty-free food goes hand in hand with his healthy and active lifestyle.
Richardson, who's been named Mr. Insane by some of his students, plans to "stay insane forever". He says he is built for this workout, and if you take a class with him you will instantly understand why.
Moving forward, he wants to continue motivating people and being there for them with classes and advice whenever they need him - for example through short workout videos that he's already started sharing on YEYU and other channels.
But as an Insanity role model he also wants to reach new people and show them that everything is possible as long as you stay active and healthy. In order to do that he will organize more events also in cooperation with other fitness entities and partners such as YEYU.
If you want to learn more about Richardson and Insanity, simply search for his profile and the tag "Insanity Live" on YEYU, or catch him at Style Fitness in Shanghai during one of his regular classes.
The whole YEYU Team is happy to have Richardson as our Ambassador and partner.

The Betrayl
Saturday I headed up to Connecticut to help celebrate my first cousin's once removed 1st birthday. Some suggested I write about my 1st cousins' (never removed) drunken, karaoke shenanigans at the party. However, that suggestion was made prior to my own sober, karaoke spectacle. Since I don't know what humiliating, digital video lay in the wings (if any) I'll refrain from commenting on that part of Saturday. At least until I can remember the witty and caustic comments I made at the table while my cousins were singing. It seems my family is trained in the arts of FBI interrogation techniques. At some point at the after-party Saturday night I was tricked into divulging my diet secret. I might as well share it with you now, seeing is it's out of the bag and who knows whom my aunt and uncle will sell my secret to. I figure publicizing the diet will decrease the amount of money they can get for it on the black market. I don't know exactly the order of events. But here is how my own family members betrayed me as best as I can remember. As we all sat in the living room of my cousin's house on very comfortable couches, me with a glass of wine in my hand. How that wine came into my possession I can't say, perhaps my cousin-in-law poured it for me in another room, perhaps there was no wine at all and the wine memory was planted there by family members after the interrogation to discredit me later. The Yankee's game was on the television, which I found strange as I remember listening to the same game earlier that day on the drive up to Connecticut. Did they tape the game and then replay it in hopes to disorient me? I can't say for sure. I did attempt to lure some of the family into wagers with me about the game, (as I was pretty certain of the out come varying plays and pitches) however, no one took the bait. They are sly. At some point in the night a voice asked me, "Well how do you stay so thin?" I answered cautiously trying not to reveal too much, "Poverty." Another voice challenged me, "Well, that's not necessarily true, they've found poverty can actually lead to obesity." And before I knew what happened I heard myself saying, "Yeah, but I'm smart and spend half my money on things like pricey grass fed beef and then just ration out a few bites a day." Dag nab it! They got it out of me. Someone. Urg! Foiled yet again by these rascally Italian-Jews.

The Future of the Content Management Landscape
By Deane Barker on October 15, 2003
Content software scramble ahead?: Someone I know told me he thought Interwoven was going to get purchased by Oracle. I scoffed. Now, in the wake of Documentum's acquisition by EMC, analysts are saying the same thing:
"Charlie Brett, an analyst for research firm Meta Group, expects large technology companies to scrutinize how content management fits into their business offerings. Those that decide they need a full content management approach are likely to do so through acquisitions, Brett said, an idea apparently endorsed by Wall Street. Interwoven shares rose 48 cents, or 13 percent, to $4.18 in regular trading Tuesday. Vignette was up 21 cents, or 7.8 percent, to $2.90 a share.
Likely buyers include database giant Oracle, which is now more likely to see content management as a gap in its server software stack. 'They were somebody we kind of expected to be interested in Documentum,' Brett said."
I think they're going to fall like dominos over the next year.

I'll admit I'm not all that familiar with Batwoman as a character. I've read a few things with her and I know the gist of her origin and past, and this book is basically just a recap of all of that. Page by page, little flashes of Kate Kane's life. Leading up to her becoming Batwoman. It's interesting and has me intrigued to keep reading but that's all that there really was with this issue. The last page reveal has me decently excited to check out the next issue.
This issue is kind of hard to review, because it wasn't either good or bad. It just felt like a montage of some of the things in Kate Kane's life that lead to her becoming Batwoman. It felt like an extended prologue
There is a lot of material to work with though that makes for a good origin story. When she was a kid, she was kidnapped with her sister and her mother and they were both murdered. She enlisted in the army to follow in her dad's footsteps but was kicked out while still a cadet for being gay.
That's all here in this issue, these flashes of her life, but there's not much else to see.
The writing's decent enough, even though there's not much of a story. But that's how it is with these Rebirth #1s, they're all set-up. They are used so readers can play catch-up with the characters.
They're great jumping on points for new readers. And this issue is no different. Like I said, I didn't know much about Kate Kane or Batwoman, and this issue just gave me a crash course. So, I guess it did its job. It got me interested in the things to come is Batwoman's new on-going series.
The art, much like my overall feelings on the issue in general, was good but not great. It didn't blow my away. One thing I did think was great, though, were the layouts toward the end of the issue, when she was training and becoming Batwoman. They're montage-y and cluttered in a good way, with images blending into one another. And there's one page, which is my favorite in the issue, where on top it's Batwoman with her team from Detective Comics (Spoiler, Orphan, Clayface, and Red Robin), and on the bottom of the page it's just the bottom half of her smiling face in the Batwoman symbol.
I am excited to check out the rest of Batwoman's series (and I'll probably even go back, now, and read some of her past stuff), but I would say that if you're super caught up on what she's been up to, you could probably skip this issue and be totally fine when the next one comes out.
Score: 3/5
Batwoman: Rebirth #1
Writers: Marguerite Bennett & James Tynion IV
Artist: Steve Epting
Colorist: Jeromy Cox

King Mumbere's mother was a champion of peace and unity- Museveni
Wednesday June 12 2019
President Museveni has described Rwenzururu Queen Mother, Christine Biira who died Tuesday as 'a key champion of peace and unity in the Rwenzori region.'
"I got the sad news of the death of the Rwenzururu Queen Mother, Christine Biira, at Kilembe Hospital. Coming from the Basiita clan, she was my sister. She has been a key champion of peace and unity in the Rwenzori region. The country will miss her. May her soul rest in peace," Mr Museveni tweeted on Wednesday.
Biira passed on yesterday morning at the age of 85.
She is the mother of Rwenzururu King Charles Wesley Mumbere and Mr Christopher Kibanzanga, the State minister for Agriculture, among others.
Mr Kibanzanga, who also doubles as the chief prince of Rwenzururu Kingdom, told Daily Monitor in Kampala yesterday that their mother had been ill for the last six months.
"My mother died at around 10:30am from Kilembe Mines Hospital in Kasese. Her illness has taken more than six months. We treated her in so many hospitals in Kampala before she returned home. It is a sad moment for the royal family and the kingdom at large," he said.
The Kilembe Mines Hospital administrator, Mr Onizimous Kibaya said the Queen Mother was admitted to the facility on May 28.
He could not immediately reveal the exact cause of death but said the hospital had been treating diabetes, high blood pressure and ulcers.
Mr Kibanzanga said the royal family and an organising committee set up in Kasese would announce the burial arrangements.
He said the body of the deceased was handed over to Uganda Funeral Services, which transported it to Fort Portal Regional Referral Hospital for postmortem.
King Mumbere, who recently decried being held under house arrest despite being out on bail, was reportedly heartbroken following news of his mother's death.
He could not be reached for a comment but sources close to him said Mumbere wants the government to allow him travel to Kasese to mourn by "at least seeing the body of his mother". In Bakonzo culture, kings are not supposed to participate in burials but it is not clear whether they also see dead bodies.
The king who is facing charges of treason, terrorism and murder, among others, is restricted from visiting his kingdom following his arrest on November 26, 2016 during a Uganda People's Defence Forces raid on Buhikira Royal Palace that left more than 100 people dead.
Mr Mumbere last met with his mother under highly restrictive security measures early February when she was admitted to Case Hospital in Kampala.
At that time, two of her toes had been removed.
President Museveni also had visited her there and had promised to cater for her medication abroad.
Later in March, her leg was amputated at Kilembe Mines Hospital, where family sources said, the remaining part was cut up to the thigh after failing to heal permanently. The first trouble was a wound caused by poorly cut nail, which failed to heal.
She is survived by seven children.

To Thomas Jefferson from Charles Willson Peale, 30 October 1804
Museum Octr. 30th. 1804.
Dear Sir
By the Mail Stage I have sent you two Polygraphs in one Box. The ease with which writing may be done with either of them, I hope will determine you to send me your Polygraph by the same conveyance, in order that I may put new Machinery to it, which may be done in a few days and returned to you.
I have made some improvements in the manufacture of the Machinery to render it more durable and less subject to be affected by wet or dry air than Mr. Hawkins had done in the Polygraph he sent me, other wise the moovements are the same. You will perhaps Object to the want of the Screws to regulate the Pens, but in the machines sent I made use of Brass-tubes which are too thin to put such Screws.
Making that part of the Machinery which is to be supported by spiral Springs as light as possible is of some importance, and if the Machine is sufficiently complete without them, some expence of the Workmanship is saved. Yet my dear Sir I do not mean to intrude my opinion on what you may use, as I wish to follow your directions implicitly and shall not think it any trouble to do whatever you may wish to be done.
The Secretary of State may choose one of these sent, or should he wish one in a different form I shall be happy to serve him.
Mr. Beckley desired me to supply him with a Polygraph—you will oblige me by showing him these, and perhaps that which Mr. Maddison leaves, may meet his choise.
In future this manufactory will be carried on with more spirit, as I have now made tools of curious and useful construction, that gives truth as well as expidition to every part of the work.
The price of each Polygraph is 50 Dollars, I wish I could afford them cheaper, but I prefer making every part in the mode that cannot fail recommend them on tryal, and I am not afraid to have a number made ready for those who may hereafter desire to purchase.
My delay of answering your last letter, was because I have prefered doing what you have requested, rather than promising to perform. except my salutations and believe me
your friend
CW Peale

Winter Wonderland: The Classic Winter Tunic and Bloomers
Winter Wonderland! And unfortunately, I'm not talking about how it looks outside here. Every week since Christmas, we have been promised snow but alas, no snow!
I am, however, talking about week 1 of Project Run and Play. I started following Project Run and Play when I first gave birth to Molly and kept promising myself that I would sew along with a season once Molly was walking (because clothes get so much cuter once the baby can stand up!). On that note, I never knew how hard it was to try to motivate a toddler to pose for a picture. She kept wanting to get her face as close to the camera as possible. We have lots of face close ups.
Now about the outfit.
For the tunic, I started with the Oliver + S Puppet Show pattern and made many changes. First, I joined the yoke and skirt to make one smooth front and then took some of the width out of the bottom to give it a more a-line shape. Then I changed the button down back to a zipper and lengthened the sleeves to 3/4 length. I chose a warm, rich, grey flannel since the texture really felt wintery to me. The button detail (which apparently Molly hates because she was determined to rip them off) was added to give the dress a touch of color since a chose a creamy cotton fabric for the collar and to finish the sleeve edges.
Now for the bloomer story: My original idea used a tutu to go underneath the tunic. I made the tutu using the Oliver + S Little Things to Sew book and I loved it. It wasn't until I finished the tutu and got her dressed for the photo shoot that I realized that the tutu just didn't look right underneath the tunic. So it was back to the drawing board. I drafted the bloomers using a pair of leggings that fit her well and adding lots of ease so they will be nice and puffy!

I've had terrible hay fever most of my life. Three things helped me.
- We chopped down the dead and dying trees on our property (Alder and Cottonwood are my kryptonite), replacing them with various fir trees.
- I started putting local raw honey into my tea each day, which allowed me to decrease the amount of medication I took.
I never thought of dogs having allergies until I became a pet blogger and learned about environmental and food allergies in dogs: proteins, grains, soy, dairy, and grass – to name a few.
When someone recommended bee pollen for my allergies, I immediately thought of Rodrigo's itchy paws. Would bee pollen help?
Benefits of Bee Pollen for Dogs
When I did my Google search, I was blown away by the list of benefits of bee pollen. It's not just for allergy relief.
- Boosts healing.
- Boosts the digestive system.
- Corrects the deficiencies in a dog's diet.
- Helps a dog maintain a healthy weight.
- Helps to heal skin conditions.
- Increases energy and vitality.
- It's said to aid in the prevention of cancer.
- Relieves aches and pain.
Bee Power by Wholistic Pet Organics
If you're looking for the benefits shared above, check out Wholistic Bee Power, a premium bee pollen that is all natural and collected from pesticide and chemical-free wildflowers. This supplement by Wholistic Pet Organics is also full of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and protein.
A few years ago, I gave Bee Power to Sydney for 30 days and the difference in Sydney was amazing. Her energy level went up and Sydney became playful, more active, and it was fun to see her enjoying herself again after her long recovery from a partial cruciate tear. I can't believe I forgot about this amazing supplement.
At the time, I was a fan of the Wholistic Bee Power because it increased Sydney's energy level which was needed on our daily walks. Discovering this blog post again (I go back and update old posts) reminded me of the benefits and I placed an order on Amazon.com immediately.
Benefits of Raw Honey for Dogs
- Honey is a natural energy booster
- Honey aids in digestion
- Honey offers allergy relief
- Honey reduces symptoms of kennel cough
- Prevents infections from viruses
- Prevents ear infections
- Offers beneficial antioxidants
Raw honey is NOT recommended for puppies because it's raw and unfiltered and a puppy's immune system isn't fully developed, there could be a conflict. To be on the safe side, DO NOT feed honey to puppies.
Shout out to my friend, dog mom to D'Art and Teddy, who gave me a jar of raw honey that she harvested for my birthday back in 2015. I loved it and added it to my tea as well and saw a drastic decrease in hay fever symptoms.
If you don't have a source for raw honey in your area, consider K9 Honey. This is a product that I came across on a trip to SuperZoo, an annual tradeshow in Las Vegas. K9 Honey is the first raw and unfiltered honey that is made for dogs, supporting their overall wellness. I was skeptical about this product because I've always been told that we need LOCAL raw honey, however, K9 Honey blends bee pollen from nine regions across the country, covering seasonal allergies for dogs no matter where they live.
I tasted K9 Honey and it was delicious – like, really really good – so I ordered a container and used it as a treat topper on my dogs' meals, sneaking a taste here and there.
You can order K9 Honey for your dog on Amazon.com.
How Much Honey Do You Give Dogs
My dogs weigh between 65-85 pounds and I don't exceed 1tablespoon of honey per day. I give my dogs honey a few days a week during the spring and fall months. More often if I have a bigger supply.
Smaller dogs do well on 1 teaspoon per day.
When it comes to bee pollen, I buy Bee Power from Wholistic Pet Organics and it comes with a 1 teaspoon scoop; each of my dogs gets 2 teaspoons 5 days a week split between two meals:
- Dogs 2-30 lbs…………………1 teaspoon
- Dogs 31-60 lbs……….1 1/2 teaspoons
- Dogs 61 lbs and over……2 teaspoons

With bombardment of vehicles on the road, everyday, car accidents are a common sight. If you are fortunate you may get away with minor injuries, but what if things turn ugly? In such scenarios car accident insurance plays a vital role. It offers the required coverage during such stressful times.
What to do while still at the accident site?
Seek immediate medical assistance. You can either dial 911or call your doctor for help. Check the condition of damaged vehicle and try to pull it off the road. You may be in a state of shock and hence do not realize that you're injured. Therefore, wait calmly for help.
Try to gather names, vehicle identification number and insurance information of any witnesses or other motorists. This information will be useful at a later stage when filing auto insurance claim.
If you have a cellular phone with camera, click pictures of the accident site, damaged vehicle and injured passengers including you.
Inform the police immediately if the accident is serious and involves severe damages and injuries to the vehicle and people. File First Information Report (FIR) with the police immediately describing how the accident occurred. You must keep this documentation and carry a copy of the important documents when filing the claim.
Contacting Insurance Company:
Upon completing these formalities and receiving medical aid, contact your auto insurance company and provide them with relevant accident details. It is best to be honest as lying can go against you and you may be denied claim. It may even have legal repercussions. A written statement filled with the accident details is held valid. You can strengthen your claim by supporting the documents with evidence. The cause of accident must be clearly mentioned in the document. Further, create a catalogue of injuries to self and passengers and damage to the vehicle. Maintain the original copy of the expenses, as you would be required to submit the bills to your insurer when you file your car accident claim.
Finding suitable accidental cover:
The market is flooded with insurance vendors, each offering varied discounts and benefits. Some insurers' service specialized groups, while others, provide coverage to a broad category of people.
When shopping for car accidental insurance cover you must know your priorities and the budget you are willing to spend.
Realizing the specifics of every brand of car insurance will help you make an informed decision.

Characterize Your Wedding StyleThe welcome is your visitors' first look at your wedding style. Rustic Fall Wedding Decor. Alongside posting the area and time of day, the welcome – and, all the more particularly, its style – clues to the custom of your wedding. You ought to have a thought of the kind of occasion you're tossing – exemplary and rich, or glitz and cutting edge – before you begin looking for stationery, so you can pick a welcome style that hits the same note. At that point scan wedding welcome photographs and stationers' sites and accumulate motivation so you can give your stationer a thought of what you like.
Know Your ColorsThink about your wedding hues as well – you might need to join your hues and a theme into your wedding solicitations and after that bring both through to whatever is left of your wedding paper (like the escort cards, menu cards and function programs) for a strong look. While ivory, cream or white card stock combined with a dark or gold textual style is the exemplary decision for formal wedding solicitations, you can likewise light up your welcomes with beautiful or metallic text styles, paper stock, envelopes and liners.

Leave things like bearings to your wedding venue and insights about postwedding exercises for your wedding site and/or print them on discrete walled in area cards. One bit of data that doesn't have a place anyplace on your suite: where you're enlisted. The main worthy spot to rundown registry data is on your wedding website. Rustic Fall Wedding Decor. Start EarlyYour save-the-dates ought to go out six to eight months before the wedding. It can take anyplace from a couple days to a couple of weeks – or more, contingent upon how favor you go – to print them. While your recovery the-dates don't need to coordinate your welcomes, requesting everything from one stationer can spare you cash and make the welcome procedure less demanding on you. So begin scouting stationers 9 to 11 months before the wedding. Expect to arrange your solicitations around four to five months out so they're prepared to mail six to eight weeks before the wedding. Rustic Fall Wedding Decor. In case you're having a destination wedding or wedding over the occasions, convey your welcomes significantly prior (10 to 12 weeks before the wedding). Get Your Dates StraightInclude your RSVP data on the base right corner of your welcome or on a different nook, and make certain to make the due date close to three or four weeks after visitors get the solicitations – check with your cook first to discover when they'll require the last headcou. The additional time you offer visitors to answer, the more probable they are to overlook, and you'll need time to assemble the seating diagram. In addition, your last check may influence the quantity of centerpieces and other stylistic layout components, which your merchants should conclude a couple of weeks before the wedding. Consider CostsThe cost per welcome can change broadly – anywhere in the range of $1 to more than $1. Rustic Fall Wedding Decor.

Get Your Envelopes Early; Have a Pro Address ThemWhen you arrange your solicitations, check whether you can take the envelopes home promptly (or at the earliest opportunity).

While you don'thaveto enlist a calligrapher to address your envelopes, we exceedingly suggest it – it looks delightful and makes a rich initial introductio.

Count Your HouseholdsYou needn't bother with a welcome for each visito. Investigate your visitor rundown and make sense of what number of houses need solicitations before you give your stationer a number – you may have the capacity to slice your request down the middle. Living together couples get one welcome; for couples living separated, you can either send one welcome to the visitor you're nearer with (and incorporate both names on the inward and external envelopes), or you can convey separate solicitations. Rustic Fall Wedding Decor. Families get one welcome (tended to "The Smith Family," for instance). The special cases: Children who don't inhabit home (like undergrads) or anybody more than 18 who lives at home ought to get their own invitatio. Order ExtraIt's costly to retreat and print more solicitations sometime late. Arrange enough solicitations for your visitor list , in addition to 25 additional on the off chance that you have to resend a welcome, need to set some aside as remembrances (trust us, your mothers will need no less than a couple) or plan on sending solicitations to a "B-lis.

That way, your stationer can incorporate the greater part of the pieces in one request, which may spare you cash and time. It's additionally a decent approach to guarantee all your stationery has a strong look, regardless of the possibility that you need to differ the outline somewhat for every component (by exchanging the predominant shading or rotating between two examples, for instance).

Master The Art of Negative Visualization
Photo by Wendy Shepherd
Imagine this: you are 95 years old, right now, sitting quietly, alone, reflecting in a chair in your living room, and you suddenly realize that your life has been a spectacular failure.
What went wrong?
Practice answering that question and you should come away with three things:
1 – A visceral and clear image of what you will want to have accomplished in your life by that point, and who you'll want to have become.
2 – A bunch of flashes of the obstacles that might derail you in your life if you let them, or aren't prepared for them.
2.5 – A solid and growing list of "F*** Thats!" i.e. Get locked into a dysfunctional relationship? F*** That! Letting my fitness slide and being unable to travel later in life? F*** That!
3 – A mental framework on how you want to handle points 2 & 2.5 to ensure you pull off all of your to-do's in point 1.

Breastfeeding. Maximizing your breastfeeding potential.
How to increase the supply of breast milk.
Breastfeeding gives mothers the perfect opportunity to bond with their babies while at the same time nurture them by providing the most essential nutrients needed for their growth and immunity. Breastfeeding is a common motherhood practice that starts from birth till a certain age depending on the preference of the mother.
A mother will enjoy breastfeeding if the baby is getting enough milk from her and breastfeeding ensures that the mother and child bond as the child grows with an effective immune system that makes her strong, healthy and happy.
It is crucial to have milk that will be enough for the baby; otherwise it is advisable to feed the baby on appropriate formulas so as to ensure it does not become undernourished and weak.
Lack of adequate milk can be quite a nightmare to breastfeeding moms and thus it is wise for one to know ways on how to promote and increase the production of breast milk in the mammary glands.
1. Food. It is very important for nursing mothers to consume healthy foods that are rich in a variety of nutrients. This is because food helps in the production of milk and the nutrients will pass down to the baby through breast milk. A breastfeeding mother's diet should consist of a lot of legumes, vegetables, fruits, porridge, water, dairy products and meat.
2. Proper rest. The mother should always find time to relax and unwind her body to enable the proper functioning of various organs in her body, including the mammary glands. A member of the family or friend should chip in helping around the house as the mother takes a nap or just sit back and relax.
3. Alcohol, smoking and other drugs usage. It is common sense that a mother should cease drinking and smoking while pregnant and should continue avoiding them till she is done breastfeeding. Apart from interfering with the production of breast milk, it does no good to the baby.
4. Porridge and cocoa drinks. Porridge made from oats, sorghum, millet and other ingredients are rich in nutrition and are effective in increasing the flow of nutritious milk. Hot cocoa drinks have the same effect of increasing the flow of breast milk.
5. Fresh fruits and juices. A nursing mother should take several portions of fresh fruits and fresh juice on a daily basis.
6. Exercise. To promote blood flow and body functioning it is vital that a breastfeeding mother should always engage in physical exercise for twenty to thirty minutes every single day.
7. Adequate meals. Forget about dieting and focus on your child. Eat adequate food; eat in plenty and several times a day. Never resist the urge to eat. Eat and eat. But stay away from foods that have no nutritional value, remember that the baby is depending on you for its daily nutrients.
8. Contraceptive pills. Before taking any pills it is wise to talk to a medical practitioner to advice you on the contraceptive method most appropriate for you at this time. This is because some contraceptive pills (taken from birth to six months after birth), cut down the production of milk in the mammary glands. This is likely to end your baby's breastfeeding period.
9. Intake of Coffee and other stimulants should be reduced. In addition to this carbonated and artificial drinks should also be avoided. They add no value and furthermore they just heap more unwanted chemicals into the mother's body and might have negative effects on the baby.
10. Chilies and spices. Excessive consumption of chilies and spices in food tend to prohibit the proper and smooth functioning of the glands that produce milk.
It is worth noting that the primary source of nutrition of a baby from birth till a certain age before weaning is breast milk or bottle feeding (formula). It is very important for every breastfeeding mom out there to do whatever it takes to ensure that her child is getting the best deal (an adequate supply of rich milk) while breastfeeding.

I'm a pretty low maintenance girl when it comes to beauty products. At the same time, I like experimenting and finding things to add to my simple routine. Two new, goodies to share with you!
100% Aloe Vera Gel. Hubs has been using this stuff forever for all sorts of stuff (including hair gel), but I just fell in love with it. I have had this weird dry patch on my shin that I could not get to go away with anything. I was even using over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream, against my better judgement, and it wasn't working. A couple applications of the aloe and, BAM, it was gone!
This is the exact kind that I use. It's cheap and can be found at any drug store.
Aveda Beautifying Composition. This oil is like magic. I was having some dryness on the outer edges of my eyes which I think was a pre-cursor to some major wrinkles (yikes!). So I applied this oil and no more dryness! It's primary ingredient is jojoba oil, so I suppose you could try other versions of that oil, too.
I use it on my perpetually dry cuticles and it makes my hands look like they just had a manicure. Plus it smells delicious!
Any new beauty finds you have discovered recently?

Last March Micro-Care Nepal worked on the support of the last Nomads of Nepal called Raute. As they live a very stricked life in the remote jungles of the west of Nepal it was hard to make them accept our support. Their way of life is motivated by a strong believe in nature and their dependence on nature. During the one month that we build up contact with the tribe we got more and more accepted. We where able to make them start using body soap, washing cloth with soap and brush their teeth with a toothbrush and toothpaste. Beside this it's very hard for them to obtain food from jungle. We supported with food, items for vital hygiene, gave more then 35 first-aid treatmens and handed over 25 kg of fruits to the children and elderly people.
In total we supported:
- 1200 kg of rice, 30 kg for each family
- 750 kg of dal lentils
- 150 piece of body soap
- 150 piece of cloth washing soap
- 150 toothbrushes
- 150 piece of toothpaste
- More then 35 first-aid treatmens
- 25 kg of fruit for children and elderly people.
The support project has been closed for now but we will re-analyse their situation again during the autumn of 2017.

David Cemmick
David Cemmick has been an artist since his first sell-out solo exhibition in 1974, at the age of nineteen. Over the past four decades he has travelled extensively, gathering field experience and documenting scientific expeditions in some of the world's remotest habitats.
He has painted the ethno-medicinal plants of Madagascar for Dr David Bellamy's Conservation Foundation, illustrated two books focusing on the endangered Kakap Parrot and Black Robin and the ground breaking conservation work of the New Zealand Wildlife Service and studied coral and fish communities on Jamaica's Morant Cays coral atoll, whilst painting under water.
These, and many other field expeditions, have helped fuel his deep respect and fascination for the animal world and given him the thirst to make 'art' from what he has seen in nature, from field sketches to finished paintings, sculptures in bronze and clay and figurative sculptures to café sketches.
Living just outside the Lake District National Park, in the foothills of the Cumbrian Pennines of England, David is constantly inspired by the changing dramatic landscape and the abundance of nature he sees everyday.

My Jesus Calling Devotional was quite powerful today. It was talking about watching our words and how much power our words hold. We are in a society where quick-witted retorts and snappy comebacks are often praised. However Jesus and our Holy Father view communication differently.
It mentioned praying before you answer the phone,praying before you respond to someone and praying before you strike up a conversation with someone. I have a job where I talk to people all day long and I've never actually thought of applying my spirituality to my job in this way.
Today I plan to use the prayer help me "Holy Spirit" before using all of my words. Will you join me?

Launched globally on 6th November at World Travel Market, London
Sound Diplomacy, the global leaders of the Music Cities movement, in partnership with ProColombia and the UNWTO are proud to launch the world's most extensive guide ever written on music and tourism.
The music industry is growing at twice the rate of the global economy. Global tourism numbers are increasing as well, with tourist arrivals increasing by 7% in 2017, from a year previous. But the relationship between music and tourism has never been defined globally, to look at how the sectors can partner to increase economic value on both sides. This is what this white paper offers.
This is the first report commissioned by the UNWTO that specifically looks at music as a key, primary driver of tourism. While we all enjoy music when we're travelling, never has music been looked at as a primary source of travel and tourism, from individual experiences to festivals, music heritage and the use of music videos to promote, and share, local culture and local experience. This white paper serves as a source of inspiration to help those working in tourism better realise and capitalise on their music tourism assets and show that around the world; from Australia to Mississippi, China to Argentina, music tourism is increasing visits, increasing spend, bringing people together and creating jobs.
The music industry – from streaming to live music – is growing at twice the rate of the global economy right now, and music, across all genres, create a sense of togetherness and openness that few other artforms and expressions share. Music enhances traditional ceremonies. It creates a transcendental moments you remember forever and most importantly, it is ubiquitous. From our hotels to our airports, from bars and restaurants, music is everywhere. It's all around us. This report, featuring over a dozen case studies from all over the world, explores the role, value and importance of music as a tool to enhance your destination and better tell your story.
It will be launched exclusively at World Travel Market 2018 in a joint press conference, followed by a panel exploring the value of music tourism, featuring some of the authors of the report.
In addition to the release, Sound Diplomacy have announced the next global Music Tourism Convention – the world's largest conference exploring the relationship of music and tourism – to be held in Liverpool, UK on September 5 & 6, 2019. Part of Music Cities Events – the leading global conference series exploring the role of music and culture on our cities, places and quality of life – the convention will feature speakers featured in the whitepaper alongside other keynotes.
