Lease expiration and new Lease
Tim is our favorite person to deal with when looking for a vehicle. He's efficient, knowledgeable, helpful, and polite. He never acts like we're wasting his time or inconveniencing him when we have requests or questions. This is our third time we've worked with Tim. It would be difficult to transition to someone else.

happy with tim brandt and happy with my great new car
I have been leasing for many, many years. I discovered Altima and really like the leasing terms. Tim Brandt is the one I deal with and I am satisfied with his dedication to please his clients. he is professional but still is a person that makes you feel like he is someone that cares for you as a friend. Definitely recommend him and the staff at gateway Nisson

I can't say enough good things about Tim. This is my 3rd lease with Tim and each time he gives just as great service as the first.

Oct 29, 2019
I came to Gateway in need of a new vehicle after mine was totaled. Tim Brandt was awesome to work with. He listened to our wants and needs and helped us find a great vehicle. Tim was very helpful during the entire process and we didn't once feel pressured into anything. Working with Tim, it felt like we had known each other for years even though we had just met. I highly recommend Gateway and Tim.
Oct 29, 2019

Oct 27, 2019
High level of customer service.
I found a better price elsewhere. They came down into the price range of the other dealer. Very friendly with great communication. Not only do I highly recommend them. I will definitely buy from them in the future. Extremely high rating throughout the whole customer buying experience.

Good experience
Tim helped me find what I needed and immediately got me set up and on the road, couldn't ask for a better guy to help me out 👍
Sep 23, 2019
Great Experience
I called Gateway and talked to a salesman named Ryan Mcgreery, he was so efficient and helpful. I literally purchased a car over the phone. I just got home from picking it up and I LOVE it! It's just what I was looking for. I also dealt with Tim and Luke. They were super easy to work with and very friendly. Thanks Gateway!
Sep 21, 2019
Great sales experience
Thank you Ryan and Tim for your great help with my purchase. Very thorough, pleasant, and helpful. I thought it went very well. This is the way new car purchase should be.
Sep 17, 2019
Great car buying experience
Tim Brandt is an awesome salesman. He was super easy to work with and met all my expectations during my car buying experience! If you are in the market for a new vehicle, I highly recommend seeing Tim at Gateway Automotive.
Sep 16, 2019
Very knowlegezble
Tim was easy to work with, very outgoing, friendly and knowledgable. Enjoyed his honesty and nice working with someone closer to our age and admits he doesn't know everything.
Sep 14, 2019
Always great!
Tim Brandt is always good to work with. This is our 4th vehicle we have bought there and Tim was there for all of them. He knows his inventory and knows people. I usually know what I am looking for when I go in to talk. We just fine tune the options and get a deal done. He does not pressure us into anything we do not want. His management team and finance team worked nicely with us also. The whole experience was great. Thanks
Sep 09, 2019
Great People!
We've bought a handful of cars now at Gateway and they really make the process so easy! Their staff is very helpful and we've always had a great experience here! Definitely recommend!
Sep 01, 2019
Exceptional experience
We are very pleased with the overall process of buying our new Titan. They are very honest and worked very hard to get us a very good deal. We highly recommend Nick, Tim and Lucas. We have purchased a number of vehicles at Gateway and will return again!
Aug 30, 2019
Great Experience
My experience at Gateway was very positive. This is the 4th car I have bought/leased from Gateway and I have always been pleased with how I have been treated. Tim and the staff were very helpful providing me with different options as well as working within my budget.
Aug 28, 2019
Tim Brandt is Awesome!
Tim was a great help with my search for a used pickup. He located just what I was looking for and arranged delivery to Watertown SD. The vehicle arrived in as advertised condition. I would recommend Gateway Automotive and Tim Brandt as excellent choices when shopping for new or used vehicles.

New Frontier
I have been a Ram buyer for many years and for various reasons decided to organize my efforts in another direction. The first salesperson I met at Nissan is Tim Brandt. About as tall as the Block Six building in Downtown Fargo. Polite, professional and Fargo friendly. He worked very hard to make the right deal and accomplished that with what felt like meeting a new friend. Tim is very knowledgeable salesperson and his many years experience as a service manager which gave me the confidence to purchase a 2019 Titan Pro 4X. I will be purchasing my wife's vehicle in the near future and without a doubt, Tim will get the nod. My only criticism is that he does not understand what college or pro football teams he should be aligned with. I'll still tip my hat to you Timothy!!

Nissan Rogue - New Lease
I give my rating for getting a new lease on my Rogue being done great! It didn't take hours like normal at some places - service was awesome and easy!
Jul 30, 2019
Great Experience
The customer service was excellent. The purchasing process was quick and straightforward. Tim was very helpful and knowledgeable. I am really enjoying the vehicle that I purchased and I am grateful for Tim's efforts to ensure that I was able to get the right vehicle for me. My family and I have been going to Tim for several years now and he is always great about finding us good vehicles. I will definitely recommend this dealership to anyone I know that is looking for a vehicle.
Jul 22, 2019
Professional Experience
While Gateway has an excellent selection of vehicles to choose from, it was the customer service from the sales and finance team that sold us on our vehicle. Tim Brandt in sales went above and beyond to help us find the right vehicle to fit our needs. We gave Mr. Brandt a list of things that we were looking for in a vehicle and he worked diligently to find that vehicle. He communicated regularly with us in regards to possible vehicles. We live in Mandan so our schedule only allowed us to come to Fargo on the weekends. Mr. Brandt came in on one of his days off to meet with us to test drive vehicles. Overall, we had a great experience.
Jul 08, 2019
Tim is awesome & trustworthy!
I had a great experience with Tim at Gateway Hyundai! I got the SUV of my dreams at a great price! Tim was a pleasure to work with. He responded to all of my texts, questions, etc. right away and happily! He always shook my hand when I walked into the door which says a lot about the kind of guy he is! I had some requests with the car that he took care of and made sure they were done upon pickup! I love that I could trust him to take care of everything for me. He even went as far to replace some wipers that I didn't even request be done. How awesome is that? Tim is a great guy and I will recommend him to anyone looking for a new/used vehicle! I also had a great experience with Luke in the office with financing, he got me a great deal on interest. I highly recommend this dealership! The only bummer is that upon picking up the vehicle, the gas tank was 30 miles to go until empty so I had to fill it :( Other dealerships I've had fill it up for you upon pick up. Other than that, great experience and great people! Choose Tim when you go to Hyundai! He's the super tall and friendly guy! :)
Jul 08, 2019
Love my new Rogue SV!
Thanks Gateway Nissan! The knowledgeable staff was so helpful in finding the perfect vehicle for me. The size, color, and safety options are exactly what I wanted. Great price too!
Jul 07, 2019
Great car shopping experience
I went to Gateway thinking I knew just what I wanted, and then changed my mind after test driving the car. Tim asked lots of questions to find out what I wanted and recommended vehicles that fit the bill. He was very patient and let me test drive several different makes and models before I found exactly what I wanted. He found out I was buying the car and talked/negotiated directly with me, even though my husband was there. I am thrilled with my purchase of a Nissan Rogue Sport!
Jul 03, 2019
Hyundai Kona Purchase
We hadn't planned to trade in our 2005 Tucson but due to an unfortunate incident we had to find a replacement. Thanks to Tim Brandt our transition to a newer vehicle went very smooth. He was very patient and worked to make sure we knew exactly how to make use of every feature the Hyundai Kona offered. We are enjoying our new Hyundai!! Thank you Tim and the rest of the Gateway staff.

Kevin Goes to Bat on Another Auto Purchase
We were searching for a Camry Hybrid after I totaled out my Envoy recently and with such a limited supply in the local area, Belle and I reached out to Kevin Nordick, who found us a good deal on Belle's Nissan Rouge last year. Kevin went to bat for us again after showing us what we were looking for at their satellite clearance site and saved us enough $$$ to consider purchasing from Kevin again. After 2 weeks with the Camry Hybrid averaging 37.9 mpg in town driving, I couldn't be happier. Kevin gets an Ata-Boy from Belle and I.
Jul 01, 2019
Very good
Was treated fairly, got a good trade in value on my car, and enjoyed my visit Tim. Overall, I thought the service was very good and came away satisfied.
Jun 29, 2019
Experience was wonderful! Tim was so sweet and awesome!
I have given an excellent review because every time I have gone to this dealership I walk away with a wonderful out come. Everyone so friendly. Definitely recommend!

Heading into Wednesday's team final at the world championships in Rotterdam, Australian star Lauren Mitchell told IG that her team is focused and primed to perform at its best.
"This team is a very tight-knit team, and we are all looking forward to competing," she said. "We are all confident and ready to show everyone what Australia is made of."
Australia qualified sixth to the eight-team final, an improvement of five positions from its ranking at the 2007 Worlds in Stuttgart. The team won the bronze at the 2003 Worlds.
Mitchell said Australia's domination at the Commonwealth Games held in Delhi earlier this month contributed to the team's confidence in Rotterdam.
"My main focus has always been the competition in Rotterdam, as we had to qualify a team for next year's world championships," said Mitchell, who won four gold medals in Delhi. "Commonwealth Games was just like verification for us, on a podium, which actually made the transition to Rotterdam easier, as we were more used to competing on a podium when we came to Rotterdam."
After Delhi, Mitchell said, Australian team head coach Peggy Liddick paid particular attention to balance beam, which was the team's lowest-scoring event in Delhi. Balance beam was the Australian team's highest-scoring event in qualifications in Rotterdam.
"Peggy has been coaching us differently on beam, making sure that we are all mentally prepared for the competition," Mitchell told IG. "Physically we are all 100 percent ready. We just needed to focus on our mental skills a bit more. I think that just competing on the podium in Delhi helped us immensely prepare mentally for this competition."
Following the team final, Mitchell will compete in Friday's all-around final (for which she qualified seventh), and this weekend's individual apparatus finals on balance beam and floor exercise. She said she intends to perform with customary concentration.
"My strategy is just to go in and compete my routines like I have been training them every day," she said.

Of course everybody understands that the good will of China comes with strings attached.(Don´t expect to see Excelentísimo Señor Zapatero embracing the Dalai Lama or expressing support for Chinese dissidents any time soon). However, the economy in some European countries is in such dire straits that political leaders do not seem seem to care, although there is still appears to be some caution regarding arms sales, according to the Christian Science Monitor:
Consensus is still distant, however, especially in regards to an embargo on selling arms to China that Spain and France have lobbied to relax. Washington still strongly opposes relaxing an arms embargo and is also concerned about technological transfers.
For China, however, the juncture is ideal. Struggling European countries that have dragged down the euro and rattled markets are desperate for cash in the form of direct foreign investment. Not surprisingly, Greece, Portugal, and Spain have sought closer relations to Beijing in the aftermath of the economic crisis, and Chinese investment in those countries has soared.
France has been a leader in selling arms to Russia, so it is not surprising to see it lobbying hard for relaxing the arms embargo to China. (By the way, you may remember that France was a leading exporter also to e.g. Saddam´s Iraq). I would not be surprised if France eyes to sell Mistral class power projection war ships also to the Chinese ...
European leaders should perhaps consider using the old court etiquette when approaching visiting Chinese benefactors ( from a manual produced by modauniversity.org):
Approach the Royal Presence (or Chinese high level visitor), along with everyone else who is coming to swear fealty at that time. When you arrive as close as you can get (this will vary depending on the number of participants, bow, then kneel with everyone else swearing fealty.
If you have gotten there first and can use the cushions, do so. However, be courteous - if someone with bad knees needs them, let them have use of the cushions. The court herald will come forward and give you the words to state, giving your oath of fealty.
Once the oath has been given and the Crown has responded, along with everyone else, rise and give a short bow. Then walk briskly back to your seat.
Please note that when in China, the etiquette changes to traditional Chinese kowtowing:

Full Throttle
Jes Gordon found her design kindred spirit in Janet.
Is playing it safe in terms of design the way to beat out the competition? Does comfort rule over originality?
I have to preface this blog by saying that hands-down Janet Kim was my favorite chef on this season of Rocco's Dinner Party. I think she might have read my book, Party Like a Rock Star!
You may be surprised that I am saying this, but Janet was the only chef that inspired me as a designer to go full throttle into her room without any fear or restrictions. She also mixed the inspiration of music with her design, instead of being so incredibly literal, like many of the chefs have been so far, in terms of props and measurements. She was also not food-oriented in terms of her design at all, which was certainly a pleasant change for me. Janet and I didn't even discuss her dining table much in our consultation, or her food really. She was more intrigued by the entire room experience, which to me, makes up a true environmental design.
As I sat next to this chill lady, I didn't expect her to pull out terms like punk rock, Sid Vicious, Vivienne Westwood (one of my favorite fashion designers), and awesome distressed tartan plaid curtains!I was so happy I almost fell off of my seat, no joke! So far it has been a season of chefs describing yet again a long table, measured flower arrangement,s and really literal props concerning their designs…. I talk about keeping it fun and not so literal in my book. Have some fun, people.
I love that Janet took the original gastro-pub concept, which was derived from the original pubs in England that served up "pub grub" of high quality with a casual and celebratory atmosphere, into another era of England, which celebrated the huge movement of punk rock, and the high fashion that was born out of it. To me, this was unexpected, but completely genuine and absolutely held just as much merit as the more literal gastro-pub atmosphere that Kevin wanted for his dining room.
Rocco often mentioned that Janet's intellect got in the way of her cooking; it was exactly the opposite in terms of her design! Janet's ambition and love for several components going on at once were essential to allowing me to create a room that folks would talk about long after the dinner party was over.
Was Janet's room really any less comfortable because her design was more controversial? Did her room express an individual's taste in décor and atmosphere that differs from anyone else? You bet it did. I speak of this in my book -- you have to make it personal, and express yourself. It is not only about the food!
Its rare that after 25 years of designing and managing full experiential atmospheres that I haven't "been there, done that" in some form or another, but Janet's room was not a repeat performance for me in any way. What a joy!
Lets list out some of the awesome elements that made up Janet's multicultural and dimensional ambiance:
One of the wow factors of Janet's room was the "Dog Save the Queen" Union Jack on the wall.
The use of tartan plaid distressed curtains tied back with gold chains added fun texture to the room.
The black Louis "comfortable" chairs with the Vivienne Westwood style sashes were very tailored and handsome.
The country flowers and the use of hot pink mixed with black was really country and rock 'n' roll and punk!
I used a lucite tabletop that was painted with a wood grain pattern so the table looked antique, but was in fact made out of a very modern substance!
How about that huge dart board?? Lots of pubs have games like chess and darts, so I wanted to bring in a real "statement-making" dart board.
Every pub needs a fireplace and, of course, a huge pig (table by Moooi) somewhere in wells rain boots (it always rains in England)
Each person got a huge safety pin name tag at their seats to bring in some more punk glamour elements.
The lighting was hot pink with interesting touches of punk green. I normally would never light a room with any green tones simply because it makes people look sick, but using accents of the green really made Janet's room distinctive.
The chandelier was one of a kind, and there are no words that can even describe it. I think Christopher might have tried to steal it at the end of the night, but I can't prove it!
OK, well Kevin's room was nothing to laugh at either. I adored Kevin, and his unpretentious approach to everything. What a lovely guy…. Kevin just wanted a big table with butcher paper and crayons and then he left the rest up to me which was awesome!!!
I thought the table was a little bare, so I brought in some sunflowers in copper pots and lots of candles. I love using amber glass so it creates a flame-like glow throughout the room. In my book, I speak a lot about how amber coloring makes everyone look like a rock star!
When I hang out in pubs I love reading, playing games, getting comfortable, and petting all of the dogs that are somehow allowed in these places!!
I covered some of Rocco's formal dining room walls in copper tiles to really make the room look and feel authentic, and to continue that amber and moody glow. I wanted the room to scream comfort, so I brought in some fabulous chesterfield sofas and ottomans and wing chairs complete with soft plaid blankets, and very soft doggy beds to match!! Also by adding that old English alleyway type of lighting, a ton of gorgeous stained glass sconces and overhead lights and reading lamps completed the ambiance.
Ken Oringer said that no gastro-pub is complete without a cock, so there you go!! Cat Deeley felt like she was home, which definitely brought a smile to my face big time. This is what makes me tick often in my career, is when folks walk into a room and the "ahhhh" stays throughout the evening as they discover special little elements throughout the environment, much like a treasure hunt for the eyes to enjoy.
I installed an old-school armoire, and filled it with old trophies and beer mugs from all over the world and graced the walls with a ton of ship paintings that reminded me of a lot of the port area pubs that sailors would come and drink at before sailing off again.
I wanted to express Kevin's easy going and masculine attitude throughout the room, so I packed a lot in there!! There were chessboards and mountains of books, clocks and vintage food, and beer signs too. To me Kevin was a lot like a really laid back quarterback that had a great play in mind, and his focus was determined and genuine. I wanted his ambiance to mirror that for sure. To me, Kevin's room was a perfect balance between a man cave and gastro-pub!
The main focal point in the room was the huge chalkboard that expressed the menu items that Rocco's guests were going to feast upon during the evening….
Was Kevin's room more "digestible" than Janet's? I would love to know your thoughts….
Congrats to the great talents Janet and Kevin!

Lake Michigan's ice cover has set a record.
The federal government's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory in Ann Arbor reports that ice spread across 93.29 percent of the lake's surface area on Saturday. That eclipsed the previous high of 93.1 percent in 1977.
The 37-year-old record was broken just before moderating temperatures began shrinking Great Lakes ice. At one point last week, the ice cover reached 92.2 percent for the entire five-lake system, second only to the 94.7 percent high reached in February 1979. On Monday night, it had dropped to 83.9 percent.
Lake Michigan fell to 77.1 percent Monday.

Charles S Peirce was the son of Benjamin Peirce and Sarah Hunt Mills, the daughter of Senator Elijah Hunt Mills. We note that this surname is pronounced "Purse". Charles was the second of his parents five children. His older brother was James Mills Peirce who became a mathematician in the Mathematics Department at Harvard, and then from 1890 to 1895 served as Dean of the Graduate School at Harvard and, after that, as Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Charles' two younger brothers also enjoyed successful careers, Benjamin Mills Peirce as a mining engineer and Herbert Henry Davis Peirce as a diplomat.
Charles was born into a leading American household. His father was perhaps the leading scientist in America and he invited academics, politicians, poets, scientists, and mathematicians into his home. A child prodigy, Charles thrived in the intellectual atmosphere. Benjamin Peirce found it difficult to find students who were bright enough to benefit from his teaching, but in his own children he found the talent that seemed to be lacking elsewhere. He used his own educational ideas in teaching Charles and his other children, and in many ways this did set them up to undertake research. However, realising that the greatest thinkers enjoyed an independence of thought, he refused to discipline his children in case he destroyed this originality. In many ways this upbringing produced the genius that Charles displayed but it also gave Charles problems of fitting in, which meant that his life was a difficult one. By the age of twelve Charles was reading standard university level texts on logic, and in the following year he began reading Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. He remained greatly influenced by Kant throughout his life.
One might have expected the brilliant young man Charles to make his mark in the education system, but it was at this stage that the independence of thought which his father has so carefully cultivated worked to his disadvantage [13]:-
In college he showed signs of his later difficulties in getting along with people: he did not excel in classwork, preferring to read works of his own choosing.He entered Harvard College in 1855 and graduated four years later with an A.B., continuing to study there at graduate level for a year. By this stage his father, Benjamin Peirce, was working for the United States Coast Survey and Charles began to undertake occasional work for the Coast Survey. In particular he worked for them beginning on 1 July 1859. In 1861 he entered the Lawrence Scientific School at Harvard, where again his father played an important role, and here he seems to have shone much more than in his undergraduate years. He received a Master's degree from Harvard in 1862 and then a Sc.B. with distinction from the Lawrence Scientific School in 1863. On 16 October of that year he married Harriet Melusina Fay who came from a leading Cambridge family and was an active feminist campaigner.
Peirce now undertook a range of different scientific studies. He had studied species classification with Louis Agassiz, a Harvard zoologist. He gave the Harvard lectures on The Logic of Science in the spring of 1865 and the Lowell Institute lectures on The Logic of Science; or Induction and Hypothesis in the latter part of 1866. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences on 30 January 1867, then from October 1869 to December 1872 he conducted research in astronomy as an assistant at Harvard Observatory. Throughout this time he continued research in geodesy for the U.S. Coast Survey, and he was sent to Europe by the Survey from June 1870 to March on the following year. He continued to progress through the ranks at the U.S. Coast Survey being put in charge of pendulum experiments in November 1872, then promoted to assistant in December of that year. The main task that Peirce carried out in his geodetic work for the U.S. Coast Survey was to measure the force of gravity at various sites both in the United States and abroad. His other task was to use the data from the results of his experiments to determine the shape of the earth. As part of this work he made further trips to Europe, from April 1875 to August 1876, and again for three months from September 1877. Between these two trips he separated from his wife Melusina in October 1876 and this marked the beginning of a problem which would greatly affect his career.
For a while Peirce's career continued to move forward. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences (United States) in April 1877 and published the results of his earlier research in astronomy in a book Photometric Researches (1878). Although his work had been wide ranging in the sciences, he had always been interested in philosophy and logic and, in 1879, he was appointed as Lecturer in Logic in the Department of Mathematics at Johns Hopkins University. Sylvester was Head of Mathematics at Johns Hopkins University at this time and for a while things went well for Peirce. He became interested in the Four Colour Problem, and problems of knots and linkages studied by Kempe. He then extended his father's work on associative algebras and worked on mathematical logic, topology and set theory. However by now Peirce was living with Juliette Froissy Pourtalès, a French gypsy. He was divorced from his first wife Melusina on 24 April 1883 and married Juliette six days later. In 1884 Simon Newcomb, who had just been appointed professor of mathematics and astronomy at Johns Hopkins University, reported to the trustees of the university that Peirce had been living with a French gypsy while still married to Melusina. Not wishing to be involved in a scandal, the trustees chose not to renew Peirce's contract. Peirce would never hold another academic post.
Peirce's only steady work was now for the Coast and Geodetic Survey. He went to Washington, D.C. to work on data on gravity measurements which had been returned from the Artic. He moved to New York City in 1886 and continued on his work for the Survey but he became increasingly at odds with his superiors and worked more and more in isolation. The Coast Survey also came under increasing pressure through lack of funding by the government. Peirce moved into a rented house in Milford, Pennsylvania, in April 1887 but after his mother died on 12 October of that year he inherited enough to purchase land and begin building an estate he called Arisbe near Milford. He purchased further land and a farm after he received a small inheritance from a maiden aunt in 1888. When he finally submitted his major report on gravity to the U.S. Coastal Survey in 1890 it was rejected for publication unless he made major revisions. When nothing further was received from him by the end of 1891 the Survey asked for his resignation. Peirce now had no income at all.
During this difficult period in his life his wife was suffering from poor health. She was diagnosed as having tuberculosis in the middle of 1889 and before the end of the year she travelled to Europe in an attempt to recover. Returning to the United States in the spring of 1890, she still was not well and in January of 1891 she underwent surgery. Despite these health problems, which coincided with Peirce's difficulties with the U.S. Coastal Survey, Juliette outlived her husband.
T S Fiske, writing about the New York Mathematical Society (before it became the American Mathematical Society) in [29], describes Charles Peirce in the early 1890s:-
Conspicuous among those who in the early nineties attended the monthly meetings ... was the famous logician, Charles S Peirce. His dramatic manner, his reckless disregard of accuracy in what he termed 'unimportant details', his clever newspaper articles describing the meetings of our young Society interested and amused us all. ... He was always hard up, living partly on what he could borrow from friends, and partly on what he got from odd jobs such as writing book reviews ... He was equally brilliant, whether under the influence of liquor or otherwise, and his company was prized by the various organisations to which he belonged; and he was never dropped from any of them even though he was unable to pay his dues. He infuriated Charlotte Angas Scott by contributing to the New York Evening Post an unsigned obituary of Arthur Cayley in which he stated upon no grounds, except that Cayley's father had for a time resided in Russia, that Cayley had inherited his genius from a Russian whom his father had married in St Petersburg. Shortly afterwards Miss Scott contributed to the Bulletin a more factual, sober article upon Cayley's life and work ...Much of what Peirce wrote from this time onwards was either rejected for publication, or he failed to complete the project. In the first category there is How to Reason (rejected by two publishers in 1894), and New Elements of Mathematics (rejected in 1895). In the second category is Search for a Method (announced in 1893 but not completed), The Principles of Philosophy (twelve volumes announced in 1894 but not completed), and The History of Science (announced in 1898 but not completed).
Peirce today is most famous as a philosopher although it is fair to say that this fame only came late. In 1877 and 1878 Peirce published six essays on Illustrations of the Logic of Science in the Popular Science Monthly. The first two of these essays were The Fixation of Belief and How to Make Our Ideas Clear. It was in the second of these that he set out his pragmatic philosophy for which he is best known today. He wrote:-
Consider what effects, which might conceivably have practical bearings, we conceive the object of our conception to have. Then, our conception of these effects is the whole of our conception of the object.Burch writes in [19]:-
Perhaps the single most important fact to keep in mind in understanding Peirce's philosophy is that Peirce was a practicing physical scientist all his life ... When he said that the whole meaning of a (clear) conception consists in the entire set of its practical consequences, he had in mind that a meaningful conception must have some experiential "cash value," capable of being specified as some sort of collection of possible empirical observations under specifiable conditions. Peirce insisted that the entire meaning of a meaningful conception consisted in the totality of such specifications of possible observations.In fact it was twenty years after he published these ideas on pragmatism that, through the work of William James, Peirce began to gain the credit for his ideas. Peirce lectured on Pragmatism at Harvard in March to May of 1903 and published a series of essays explaining his ideas in The Monist in 1905.
It is impossible to do justice to the breadth of Peirce's philosophical work in this article. Let us just note some further examples. He wrote on infinite sets and infinitesimals and argued for the consistency of introducing infinitesimals into the number system. He wrote on probability arguing against De Morgan's ideas that probability is a measure of confidence and also arguing against the ideas of Bayes. Rather for Peirce probability is the limit of the ratio of observed occurrences over the possible occurrences and the number of observations tend to infinity. He also studied universal categories and for him almost everything split into three categories or triads. On the mathematical side, coming out of his work for the Coast Survey, we mention that he was interested in conformal map projections where he invented a quincuncial map projection using elliptic functions.
We have already indicated that Peirce was a somewhat unusual character. Here is a report of a lecture that Peirce gave to the Harvard Philosophy Club on 21 May 1879 extracted from a letter written by Thomas Davidson:-
Peirce's paper was captious, bright, and poor. After it was over, I had a long talk with Professor Benjamin Peirce, who undertook to prove to me mathematically that space has four dimensions. The Peirce's are all a little crazy, I think.Peirce died of cancer at his home at Arisbe, Milford, Pennsylvania.

We've all heard the expression "a mother's work is never done," and as the mother of three young kids, I couldn't agree more. But what rings even truer for me is "there's never a day off for a food allergy mom." My work as mom to 10-year-old Nina – the oldest of my three kids and the only one with a food allergy – is never "done" in a way that it is for my younger two, Daniella, age 8, and Mateo, age 3.
For Daniella and Mateo, a playdate is just a playdate. A field trip is a field trip. A summer camp is an exciting new opportunity: a time to make friends, spend time outdoors and learn new skills. For Nina, it's a potential minefield. How do I make sure she has safe foods to eat? Who will step in if something goes wrong? Who will know where her epinephrine is? Who can I trust to not hesitate to use it? Most importantly: what do I do to make sure I get her back home safe and sound?
Summer camps make me more nervous than school, field trips, play dates and other activities because, in my experience, the counselors are often very young and the days are not always very structured. There's more movement from one activity to another, less routine, less experienced supervision – it all leaves room for error.
Most troubling of all is an emerging trend I've noticed in the last couple of years that I hadn't encountered in my previous six years working on food allergy safety: the reluctance of some summer camps to administer an epinephrine auto-injector, the only life-saving medication available to our kids with food allergies.
Known as the "guiding hand policy", many food allergy families have encountered summer camp programs that have adopted a practice whereby their employees are told not to administer epinephrine directly to a child in need and instead to make the child hold the auto-injector, so that he or she is technically self-administering the medication. At most, employees are instructed to "guide the hand" of the child experiencing anaphylaxis.

Bob Kessel was born 1954 in New York City.
He graduated from the State University of New York with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.
While in college, he studied Taekwondo (태권도; 跆拳道), a Korean martial art and the national sport of South Korea.
After college, Kessel moved to San Francisco where he studied Aikido (合気道 Aikidō), a Japanese martial art developed by Morihei Ueshiba. Aikido is performed by blending with the motion of the attacker and redirecting the force of the attack rather than opposing it head-on. This requires very little physical strength, as the aikido practitioner "leads" the attacker's momentum using entering and turning movements. The techniques are completed with various throws or joint locks.
In San Francisco, Kessel met and married Yoshiko Uchiyama, a Japanese national visiting America.
Kessel continued his studies by moving to Tokyo, Japan to study directly under Tohei at the world headquarters of Aikido, Ki no Kenkyūkai (気の研究会), an aikido organization founded by Koichi Tohei, a disciple of Ueshiba. The official Japanese name of the organization is Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido Kai (心身統一合気道会).
While in Japan, Kessel also studied Ōmori-ryū (大森流) school of iaijutsu at the Nippon Budokan ((日本武道館). Iaijutsu, the art of drawing the sword, is one of the Japanese martial disciplines in the education of the classical warrior.
Kessel and his wife moved back to New York City. He worked as an Art Director, Graphic Designer and Illustrator for New York City advertising agencies for over 20 years on these accounts;
Volvo, Nikon, Maxell, Perdue Chickens, Hertz, Sharp Electronics, Hebrew National, Maxell, Swarovski, Savvy, Rally's, AT&T, Delta Airlines, JC Penny, SAP, AGFA, IBM, Gevalia Coffee, American Express, Tribeca Film Festival, National Tire, JVC Jazz Festival, Stolichnaya, Heineken, Rheingold, US Open Tennis, Pfizer, Starwood Hotels, Mastercard, Ingersoll-Rand, Gateway Computers, Sears, Altec Lansing, AGFA, Blue Cross/Blue Shield

Throughout his career, Kessel has worked on high profile projects for a variety of clients. Since 2000, he has run his own agency in Connecticut with smaller regional clients in CT, RI, MA, NY. He brings the same creative thinking and attention to detail to clients whatever their size. Some of his clients include;
Mystic Seaport Museum, Mystic Aquarium, Providence Picture Frame, ABCO HVACR Supply + Solutions, K9 Contain & Train, AV3, Jessie's Roadhouse, Ames Builders, Burris Logistics, InterCity Testing, USTA, World Champion Taekwondo, Boat Stuff, Squeaky Kleen, Chin Group, Boston Women's Journal, Newport Art Museum, Bauhaus Press, Seamen's Inne, Mystic Indoor Tennis, Greenwich Japanese School, Flat Hammock Press, Ocean Classroom, Vusi Filmworks, Kokopelli Cafe, Weir Farm Trust, Slater Art Museum, Concerts Unlimited, Yankee Retail
Kessel is a nationally known illustrator. His work appears in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, Texas Monthly, Tokyo Journal, Japan Times, Berkeley Monthly, San Francisco Metro Magazine, Boulevards Magazine, Boston Globe, Hartford Courant, Milken Review
Kessel gives back to the community with free posters for non-profit groups like The Martin Luther King Center, Make-A-Wish Foundation, The Greenwich Street Theatre, Juvenile Diabetes Foundation and AIDS walk NYC, Haiti Relief.
Kessel has exhibited his Fine Art at:

Bob Kessel has been married for over 30 years and has two children, a son, Ken, and a daughter, Kay.
"The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary
so that the necessary may speak."
– Hans Hofmann
This remark provides a clue to an aspect of Bob Kessel's work that his apparent iconoclasm and irreverence have tended to conceal. He has remained in an important way a classical artist.
Along with the images of Shunga and Sailboats and Pulp magazines, there has been an abiding commitment to composition, which is the whole point of Western art.
The language of form is what guides him to what lies behind his trivialized subjects, whether they come from pop culture or the history of art.
What makes it conventional is in part the concern for composition. It really gets to be a formal involvement. There is a natural sense of position, analagous to a sense of time in music- and things look right or wrong, in this purely formal way, not related to the subject. You have to make that work. Most of the effort in Bob Kessel's art is to adjust to this sense of spatial order.
Bob Kessel's art can be enjoyed on a number of levels, not the least as pure eye candy indulgence. But it also forces those who would dismiss his technique as lazy, pop-induced ephemera to reconsider the amount of decision-making that went into his art.
Like all great artists, he used what was around him for inspiration, commentary, and, in Kessel's case, a healthy amount of deconstructionist verve and wit.
In that regard, he isn't so different from generations of jazz players who have used musical quotation as part of the improvisational process — take away the quote and there's a lot less to talk about all of a sudden.
Kessel's development as a mature painter was marked by his propensity for working in successive series or thematic groups. The later groups tended to be interpretations and to some extent parodies of earlier Modernist styles – Cubism, Futurism and Expressionism.
"All my art is in some way about other art, even if the other art is cartoons", Kessel once said — and he was right. All his art is about art, not really about life, which makes it all the more important to have some sense of what he knows about art — what he likes, what he knows, what influenced him.
The basic joke, though, stands firm. Kessel works patiently through a lot of more or less obvious art-historical references — Monet, Picasso, Cezanne, Van Gogh, Klimt, — rendering each of them in some amusingly jarring, art-type way.
Kessel's own obsession begins to show through. He is, it appears, completely obsessed — again, to a strangely post-modern degree — with the arbitrariness of the conventions through which Western Art renders a three-dimensional world of experience onto a two-dimensional surface of optical perception.
And of course he's right — this code is, indeed, arbitrary and strange. An instance of this whole issue of codified visual language seems to have revolved around the way in which a square, say, with a couple of diagonal lines across it instantly signals to us a nude, despite the fact that it does not look much like a nude and has none of the actual qualities of a nude, such as depth and volume.
So many contemporary artists seem to congratulate themselves on believing in nothing (whereas, of course, the whole fact that they consider nihilism as preferable to the alternative frantically signals a whole host of beliefs, some very hoary indeed, under which these same artists are labouring) it comes as a pleasant surprise to see, there with the self-deprecating humour, something very like a belief in the ability of art to help people understand their world — one tiny aspect of it, anyway.
But then it has to be said that Bob Kessel also comes across, very clearly, as an extremely pleasant, likeable, humane sort of person, never taking himself too seriously, and always experimenting, trying to grow, even when he might have been best advised to keep hoeing the same productive furrow.
"There is a beautifully visceral quality to Bob Kessel's artwork that forces one to experience it. Hands, faces, lips, legs burst out from a fractured windowpane of colors and lines, like a Maserati crashing through a fashion show. Evocative, absurd, and witty."
– Michael Diederich
"Bob Kessel's work is spectacular, beautiful and even erotic through his use of line and color. He even manages to evoke humor out of deceptively simple forms."
– Michael Gross
"We unfortunately live in an era when too many things are called art and too many people without an idea in their heads are called artists. Bob Kessel goes against that particular grain. His work crystallizes the very concept of art. He distills all of the important elements of modernism in service to an elegant idea of what visual art should be at this point in time. In short, it's good stuff. The man's an artist."
– John Maleki
"Bob Kessel is a thrilling artist — delicate and dynamic at the same time. His pictures often have a perfection that makes one proud to be human."
– Mark O-Donnell
"Mr. Kessel's artwork is a truly original vision. It evokes a unique modernistic quality that is not cliche. It has a bold fresh quality to it. Bravo!"
– Joe Cupani
"Bob Kessel has a style that's so unique he can interpret famous classic art, and call it his own. I am so fortunate to have one of his earlier works hanging in my living room."
– Dean Stefanides
"Bob Kessel has a bold, fresh, vision with a talent for distilling a concept or perspective down to it's simplest truth. He can do this in a way that also reveals a wry wit and intelligence."
– Bob Cesiro
"Bob, I have to tell you how impressed I am with you. Unfortunately these days it can be so easy to become cynical and burnt out. Yet you seem to be always evolving, growing and pushing foward! You have a very impressive body of beautiful work. Very inspiring. Its nice to be able to say that I still know a true artist."
– Frank Guzzone
"Bob Kessel is an incredible artist. His vast portfolio of art that he has created is astonishing. He is one of today's living, breathing modern artists. Go to his website to be amazed."
– Angelo Juliano
I can easy sum up Bob's fantastic body of work in one word. "INSPIRING". Bob work keeps getting better and better. I'm very moved by his creative commitment. "Where on earth does he find the time"!
– Sidney Zanzani-Barrier
"Bob Kessel is one of those rare artists whose work exquisitely combines both imagination and craft. "
– Brian Belefant
"Bob Kessel is a marvelous artist with a unique vision. Two of his works hang proudly in our studio"
– Eric Kaye, The Lodge
"Bob Kessel's ever-evolving body of work represents the beautiful process of raw talent combined with intellect and wit. From small, whimsical scenes of intimate everyday life, to his glorious abstractions and deeply individual reinterpretations, one never fails to be struck by the loveliness and power of Mr. Kessel's art."
– Michele Cone
"Bob Kessel is a savvy artist who will play with any idea. He will stretch and mold it to its brink, until it has taken on a whole new perspective. Not only does he make these sometimes overlooked aspects beautiful but reveals an edgier, better side to them"
– Ariane Chang
"Bob Kessel's art always inspires me, I love the enticing use of color, and the variety of themes and concepts. It is art with wit and energy that says something. In a world of bland, mass-produced everything, I always look forward to the new collections that Bob Kessel creates – – not only things of beauty but incredible art with impact, imagination and a unique approach."
– Jacqueline Smith
"What I really like about Bob Kessel's art is that I continually get to learn more about other artists when I look at his work. His versions of the great masters works are fascinating! And while I started life as a lover of realism in paintings – I've been converted by the content of Bob's abstract pieces. I still love the pieces that include one of his paintings inside paintings the best!"
– Marty Hubbard
"The Bob Kessel Art History series is strong and arresting whether or not the viewer 'gets' the art historical references, and the scale transforms the inspirational sources once again, and dramatically."
– Roberta Waddell
"I am always in awe of and inspired by the quality and quantity of Bob Kessel's amazing body of work.
His expression is a fresh and unique approach with a distinct style and energy.
It is a delight to visit his website again and again to see where his journey has taken him next."
– Maria Scrivan
"Bob Kessel is one of the hardest working artists around. And he's always up for a challenge. Bob is at the top of my list of freelance illustrators I can count on, no matter the situation. His Roger Federer portrait for The Times' U.S. Open tennis section is a classic. "
– Wayne Kamidoi, AD for sports/NY Times.

KUSA-Channel 9 grows in the morning during February sweeps
The February 2016 ratings sweep shows a significant shift in morning viewing in the Denver market. While overall the number of homes using television (HUT) was down, powerhouse KUSA-Channel 9 not only won every morning newscast but was the only station to show year-to-year ratings increases in every weekday morning time period from 4:30 a.m. to 7 a.m.
KWGN-Channel 2's "Daybreak" was flat; KMGH-Channel 7 and KCNC-Channel 4 were down, according to preliminary figures.
The month's oddest stat: February saw a 50 percent rating increase for 9News at 4:30 a.m., (I'm told that's in the wee morning). Are people getting up extra early to beat the increasingly awful traffic? Watching on treadmills? Napping at 4:30 in the afternoon? Who are you people?

Here's what you need
- Set up your HomeKit accessories in the Home app.
- You can use Siri on any of your Apple devices to control your home. To use "Hey Siri" to control your HomeKit accessories hands-free, make sure that your device supports "Hey Siri," and is connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network.
- To use the Home app and control your home with Siri on your Mac, update your Mac to macOS Mojave.
- To control your HomeKit accessories remotely with Siri, you need to set up a home hub.
Let your voice be the on/off switch
Siri knows which HomeKit accessories are set up in the Home app as well as their status. Siri identifies your accessories by their names, location, and other details that you've added to them in the Home app. And if you set up a HomePod1, Apple TV, or iPad as a home hub, you can use Siri to control your home from just about anywhere.
Turn accessories on or off
From lights to appliances, Siri can turn your HomeKit accessories on or off. Just say "Hey Siri," then say something like:
- "Turn on the lights."
- "Turn off the fan."
- "Turn on the light switch.
- "Turn on the heater."
Adjust an accessory
Siri can adjust some HomeKit accessories, like lights or a thermostat. Say "Hey Siri," then say something like:
- "Set the temperature to 68 degrees."
- "Adjust the brightness downstairs to 50%."
- "Turn the living room lights all the way up."
- "Make the lights blue in the bedroom."
Control a room or zone
If you organize your accessories by room or zone, you can control areas of your house with a single command. Say "Hey Siri," then you can say things like:
- "Turn off the lights downstairs."
- "Turn on the fan in the office."
- "Start heating the upstairs."
Use HomePod to control the room it's in1
If you have a HomePod1, you can control all of the HomeKit accessories in the room that it's in with a single command. Just say "Hey Siri," then say something like:
- "Turn off the lights."
- "Turn on the fan."
- "Turn off the light switch."
Set a scene with Siri
Scenes let you control multiple accessories at the same time. And with Siri, you can set a scene with just your voice. Here are some examples:
- "Hey Siri, good night."
- "Hey Siri, I'm home."
- "Hey Siri, set my reading scene."
Check your home's status
In bed and want to know if you left the lights on downstairs? Siri knows. Just say "Hey Siri," then ask Siri something like:
- "Are the lights on downstairs?"
- "Is my garage door open?"
Control your accessories remotely2
If you have a home hub set up, you can ask Siri to control your home while you're away. Say "Hey Siri," then say something like:
- "Turn off the lights in my Chicago house."
- "Turn off the fan in the living room."
- "Set the Tahoe house to 72 degrees."
- HomePod isn't available in all countries and regions.
- When you lock your device, some accessories can't be controlled using Siri. For example, you need to unlock your device before you can use Siri to unlock your door.

- Learn how to use Siri on all of your Apple devices.
- Use the Home app to manage and control your HomeKit accessories from your iOS device or Mac.
- Use Siri on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to send a video to your TV, play movies and TV shows, and control playback.
- Set up a home hub to control your HomeKit accessories remotely, grant access to the people you trust, and automate accessories.

- Do you identify with the goals and values of the hacker community?

For students with declared majors
Academic advising of declared majors is performed by full-time WCSU faculty. Each department advises its own students. In some departments, students are assigned to specific advisors, whereas in others students are free to meet with any of the faculty.
Goals of Academic Advising
- Help advisees explore degree and career goals
- Guide advisees toward satisfactory completion of degree requirements
- Review academic performance and help connect advisees with appropriate campus resources
What is academic advising?
It is the process by which university faculty and staff help guide students toward successful and timely completion of your college degree. Although course selection and registration are important components of academic advising, advising is an opportunity for students and advisors to discuss many other aspects of university life that are critical to student success, including educational opportunities, support services, and career paths.
Who is my academic advisor?
If you are a current student, then you have an academic advisor. When you learn how to access your WestConnduit account, you will be able to see who your advisor is (as well as access all kinds of useful information). If you have declared a major, then you will be advised by a faculty member in your department. If you have not declared a major, you are considered an exploratory student and will be advised by a professional staff member in the Academic Advisement Center.
When should i see my advisor?
You should see your advisor at least once a semester to tell him/her about your experiences and plans, and to discuss and receive approval for course selection for the following semester. In addition, you should see your advisor whenever you have questions about your major, need help accessing university resources, or are struggling academically.
Why should i bother to see my advisor?
Two main reasons. First, your advisor can help ensure that you are making appropriate progress toward your degree (so you can graduate on time). Second, you'll need your advisor's approval before you can register for classes.
How do i contact my advisor?
Assuming you know who it is (see above), check the university directory on the WCSU home page, or look him or her up on the department webpage. Phone calls and email both work well. If you can't get a hold of your advisor, contact the department secretary. You can find out who this is on the department web page as well.
However, during the summer months, many faculty members are traveling, doing research, or otherwise not on campus. When you want to talk to someone about classes or your program, start by contacting the secretary for your department. You will be able to find out who is available to answer your questions. Department chairs are often available, and the university now has designated summer faculty advisors ready to help. Designated summer faculty advisors and their office hours can be found at the Admissions webpage.

But first, the scoreboard:
Dow: -387.37
And now, the top stories:
- The "day" really started yesterday around 2:20 when the FOMC released its highly anticipated "Operation Twist" announcement. Markets were already down modestly heading into that, but the selloff got serious after that, and stocks really fell out of bed. To some extent, the selling was a "sell-the-new" kind of thing, and perhaps to some extent some were disappointed that Bernanke didn't go further. Alongside the announcement, yields on long-term Treasuries plunged through the floor.
- Not long after the market closed, more bad news from Washington came: The House voted down a bill to keep the government open. A government shutdown is a real possibility.
- That selling carried through. Asia got smoked across the board last night. Hong Kong fell 4.8%. Korea fell another 2.9%. What's more, Chinese flash PMI came in weak, confirming slowdown fears there.
- But the real pain was in Europe, where French banks continue to be at the center of the show. They got demolished on all kinds of ugly headlines, like Mohamed El-Erian talking about a huge run on them (in an FT piece) and a story about BNP Paribas going to the Mideast looking for fresh cash. This of course lead to selling in everything else, and all the major indices got destroyed. Clearly the crisis is not a "Greek" crisis anymore. The banking system has been infected. Europe, too, clocked in with a bad PMI report. The slowdown is real.
- And the follow through continued in the U.S. Dow futures were already pointing to a loss of about 200 points when at 8:30 AM we got (yet) another disappointing initial claims report. Later at 10:00AM, we did actually get a surprisingly good reading from the FHFA home price index, but nobody cared.
- Markets trashed everything and everyone all day. Stocks got clobbered (never mounting anything resembling a comeback), commodities got destroyed, gold got smashed, oil fell below $80, and the Swiss Franc continued to cede its supersafehaven status. Only the yen, the dollar, and US Treasuries (where yields continue to plumb fresh lows) turned in positive/respective showings. BTW: If gold investors are bummed about the 4% decline today, silver investors, who lost over 8% should be annoyed.
- There wasn't much mitigating on the corporate front today. FedEx, the ultimate economic bellwether, warned about next quarter's earnings. Bank of America fell because, well, it's Bank of America. Morgan Stanley got really hit on concerns over its French bank exposure. From the tech world, reports seemed to confirm that Meg Whitman will be the next CEO of Hewlett-Packard once it gets around to actually firing the current CEO, Leo Apotheker.

BAFTA Unspoiled: Dev Patel
Please let him stay this way – so humble and grateful and eager and sweet. Here's Dev Patel at the BAFTAs riding the incredible wave, and still as amazed as he was 2 months ago when this thing took off.
Dev is adorable!
Did you see him on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart? If not, you MUST. But only if you want to cuddle up to your television and muss his hair and pinch his cheeks. Dev is articulate and engaging, his attitude is right – so right! – and best…he acts like an 18 year old! A real, awkward, goofy, funny 18 year old!
Do the English child stars turn out better? Oh no I didn't.

No peeking... ok, maybe just a little peek...
I am shifting gears from my Halloween/fall kick to skip ahead just a bit to Christmas. That's right, the Tickled Pink previews for September begin today and we have the gorgeous new Vintage Christmas Lads and Lolitas to share. As always they are illustrated by Christina Dee and this collection also comes with a Christmas sentiment release designed by the talented Ann.
I have to tell you all right now, I am in LOOOOVE with every single one of these stamps! I cannot wait to share them all with you but we have to tease just a little, so one a day it is. ;)
The first Christmas beauty to be featured is modeled after the artist herself, Christina. She looks amazing in her flowing gown and at first I couldn't decide whether she was wrapping or unwrapping that present. But when I came across the 'no peeking' sentiment sticker I could just see her trying to get away with a quick sneaky look into her gift from Santa. Seriously, doesn't her face look a little too innocent? LOL
Speaking of the sentiment sticker, it actually came as part of the entire 25 Days of Christmas kit by Simple Stories (a relatively new paper company that has quickly risen into my top five faves). The colors and look of the prints was so perfect with these new Vintage Christmas characters that I actually decided to create all six of my preview cards with it so they look kinda like a coordinating set. Why fight the paper love I always say. :)
As always it wouldn't be a Tickled Pink Stamps preview without a prize, so head on over to the Tickled Pink blog and leave a comment on today's post for a chance at winning your very own Vintage Christmas Christina rubber stamp! And while you are there be sure to check out all of the merry Christina cards that my fellow Pink Ladies have created too.
Feliz Navidad! heeheehee

Hi Amy. OMW!!! Why fight the paper indeed! I love your card my friend. She does look like she's trying to get away with a little something. lol... I am loving your reds. I will keep watching your video so that I can get better. I have a ton of R. Copics, but I tend to stay away from the. I can hear the Sister in my ear saying(with an accent of course)"Practice, practice..PRACTICE!" lol... Anyway I also just love how you made her skirt look like it is flowing out from were she is sitting every so lady like. Have a great day. Hugs, Lisa

Select the "Subscribe & Save" option before adding a product to your cart and how often you would like to receive it. The discount will show automatically in your cart!
*When you create a Global Healing Center account and set up your first subscription
What you'll discover on this page:
Detoxadine is Global Healing Center's certified organic, standardized nano-colloidal nascent iodine. It is produced with a transformative bio-elemental matrix and, with a glycerin base, is designed to be more gentle on your digestive system than iodine supplements that contain alcohol.
Detoxadine is created from 300 million-year-old salt deposits located more than 7,000 feet below the earth's surface. It is an extremely pure nascent iodine that is both concentrated and free of additives and toxins. Each drop is loaded with 650 micrograms iodine and it's screened for radiation.
Compared to any and all other iodine supplements, Global Healing Center's nascent iodine is the most easily absorbed and utilized form of iodine available. Read the reviews and compare for yourself, no other product can match!
Each drop of Detoxadine contains 650 micrograms of iodine to promote the normal iodine levels necessary to support the thyroid and encourage normal hormone balance.
Fluoride, chlorine, and bromine compete with iodine for the same thyroid receptors. Having enough iodine available helps defend and detoxify the thyroid against these toxic halogens.
Unlike other iodine supplements which source iodine from the ocean, Detoxadine is created using 300 million-year-old salt deposits located 7,000 feet below the earth's surface. The result is an extremely pure and concentrated nascent iodine that is free of additives and toxins and also screened for radiation.
Detoxadine is nascent iodine in a vegetable glycerin base. Unlike alcohol based formulas, it has an extremely gentle taste and is appropriate for adults and children alike.
We are sure you will see and feel the benefits of this nascent iodine.
If you aren't absolutely satisfied...if you aren't feeling better, you're protected by our...
100% No-Risk 180-Day Money Back Guarantee
If you are not satisfied with your results, just let us know and we'll send you a prompt refund. No questions asked.
1. Can I take Detoxadine while pregnant? Good nutrition is important, especially during pregnancy. Not only is an expectant mother providing for herself, but her developing baby as well. Many pregnant and planning-to-become-pregnant women use Detoxadine to support their health.
2. Why is Detoxadine better than potassium iodide? The nascent iodine in Detoxadine is pure and much easier for your body to absorb and use. In nature, iodine is attached to other elements as a compound, it doesn't exist pure. In these forms, absorption can be as low as 20%, making it biologically inefficient. Detoxadine is different because it provides a bioavailable, non-toxic nascent iodine that rapidly enters your bloodstream and disperses throughout your body.
3. How does nascent iodine affect my thyroid? The thyroid converts iodine back to mono-elemental iodine and immediately recombines it as an essential mineral element with protein configurations to form the thyroid hormones T3 and T4. Simply put, nascent iodine supports the thyroid and hormone function!
Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, NP
Detoxadine is manufactured in a state-licensed facility that meets federal regulatory standards, is cGMP/HACCP-compliant, and lab grade. Raw elemental iodine is a controlled substance both at a State and Federal level. The licensing, approvals and regulatory documentary procedures are exacting and costly.
The production process of Detoxadine has a stabilizing effect on the elemental iodine, making it far more bioavailable than other "nascent iodine" products which can exhibit toxic effects (e.g. Cytotoxicity).
Bound forms of iodine must first be separated, clarified and purified from other binding components or impurities into a USP-grade (US Pharmaceutical), mono-elemental iodine as certified USP resublimated iodine crystals. In this purified crystal form, iodine is a highly reactive and toxic substance. However, when the purified USP iodine crystals are subjected to a proprietary process it becomes nano-colloidalized and transforms into a non-toxic form of elemental nascent iodine, also referred to as monoatomic iodine, without the addition of iodides!
Take 3 drops by mouth, immediately follow with purified water and swallow. Use once daily or as directed by your healthcare provider.
Historically, nascent iodine has been made using electricity to break iodine's diatomic bond and create a single, highly energized atom. However, it is difficult to use this method on the scale necessary to produce sufficient quantities. It also does not leverage the latest technological advances.
Global Healing Center has developed proprietary technology to create nascent iodine by using Thermodynamic Pressure Sensitive High Energy Sound Pulse Nano-Emulsion Technology. This technology is the result of years of research and collaboration between top Russian Physicists, the Global Healing Center production staff, and Dr. Edward Group. The end result is a highly-charged, bio-available, stable form of nascent iodine.
Global Healing Center is the only company that doesn't source iodine from the sea. Our USA-based production facility derives the iodine from a salt solution that is extracted from a geologic formation approximately 6,000-7,000 feet below the surface of the earth. This salt solution is 300 million years old and contains high concentrations of "iodide" that is extracted. The iodide solution undergoes a series of purification steps to convert it to iodine and separate the non-volatiles and other halogens.
If you do not have a thyroid, then iodine is not necessary to create thyroid hormones. However, that doesn't mean the rest of your body doesn't need iodine -- it does.
Iodine is necessary for breast and prostate health (the second largest iodine storage sites after the thyroid). It is also used by the adrenal glands, parotid glands, mucosal lining of the intestines, uterus, ovaries and more. It is a necessary nutrient for maintaining healthy cell life cycles.
The P53 gene requires iodine to function. P53 has been called "The Guardian of the Genetic Code" and is responsible for the apoptosis process of damaged cells. Thyroid or not, there is no question that iodine is required by the human body to function properly.
If it is the iodine content of kelp that the individual is sensitive to, then all iodines should be used with great caution.
If it is the polysaccharide matrix in which the iodine is bound that the individual is sensitive to, then the iodine in Detoxadine "MIGHT" not be a problem.
In either case, deferring to a natural physician is absolutely required.
People with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis or Graves should consult their physician before taking any nutritional supplements.
No, you should not discontinue any medication without consulting your prescribing healthcare professional. It is also recommended you separate medications at least 4 hours from Detoxadine administration.
There are 1,950 micrograms or 1.950 milligrams of nascent iodine per serving of Detoxadine.
The shelf life of Detoxadine is about 3 years.
Acute iodine toxicity is rare and usually only occurs when many grams have been ingested. Symptoms may include burning of the mouth, throat, and stomach, vomiting, increased heart rate, nausea, intermittent ringing in the ears, diarrhea, weak pulse, shakiness, feelings of panic, or a profound disruption of sleep patterns.
No, Detoxadine contains pure iodine in glycerine solution. It is not an iodate or an iodide bonded to another element, like potassium iodide (although when iodine ion occurs alone, it is called an iodide). When iodine is bonded to another molecule, it is harder for the body to use. Detoxadine is a special non-toxic transformed mono-element nascent iodine product. In other words, the only mineral Detoxadine contains is iodine! This means easier uptake and utilization.
Pets can take 1 drop per day for every 25 pounds they weigh. Detoxadine can be administered directly in the mouth or added to food.
