Music soothes our souls through diverse genres and modes of delivery, but one of the oldest and most recognized is Reggae. Reggae is a style of Jamaican music that dates back to as far 1970(Introduced by the likes of Bob Marley). This genre became an indispensable part of the Nigerian music, especially after the rise of singer Majek Fashek. Fashek was, like many Nigerian reggae performers, a part of the long-running band The Jahsticks. Daniel Wilson (aka Mr. Ragamuffin), one of the most prominent, who introduced his style of ragamuffin music to Nigeria. Daniel Wilson dazzled the Nigerian music scene with hits like 'Mr.Ragamuffin' and 'Original Bad Boy'. Some other notable musicians include Jerri Jheto, De King, Daddy Showkey, Ras Kimono, high school band of Victor Eshiet and Peggy Umanna, The Mandators and the London-based MC Afrikan Simba, Ras Kimono. Major pioneers of Reggae music include big names such as Orits Williki, Peterside Ottong, Andy Shoreman, Alex Zitto, Evelyn Ogoli, Wale Man, Isaac Black, and a host of others. These pioneers paved way for the new generation of home groomed reggae artists.
Reggae music was further propelled into the mainstream of Nigerian music in the mid eighties. Radio stations became a viable medium of choice for many recording artists and record label executives, because of its chart-topping musical programs delivered to the listeners during that period and the supply of vibrant Radio On Air Personalities acknowledged below. They re-invented the way musical programmes ought to be presented on Radio to the listeners around the country. Both in print and electronic media, they saw and created an avenue to promote a different kind of music in the ever diverse Nigeria demography. In the 1980s came the advent of Radio stations such as Radio Nigeria 1 Ikoyi-Lagos, Radio Nigeria 2 Lagos (Martin street) , and the sister's station Radio Nigeria 3 Ikoyi-Lagos, in 1987. They began and frequently hit the airwaves with this new type of music genre that took Nigerians by storm. Radio Personalities such as Bisi Olatilo, Mani Onumono, Richard Onaghise (aka Manrichie), Zachari Mohammed, Smart Otemu, Boniface Onogwu, Nelson Edosovba, Ruime Effetie and Shea Martins, immensely featured Reggae musicians and aired their interviews on their programmes.
With the ever progressing advancements in the music industry, Nigerian reggae has taken various amazing and enormous forms since then. A newer generation of Nigerian Reggae artists have emerged; fusing many styles and brands with Reggae beats and equally blending styles that borrow influences from Reggae, Hip-Hop, R&B, and Dance-Hall culture, artists such as Timaya, P-Square, Esco Banton, Banky W, Ice Prince, Patoranking and BurnaBoy expand the definition of Nigerian born Reggae artists, maintaining the trends of Reggae music as seen throughout the world.
Reggae is a passionate genre of music that speaks to the soul and takes the listener on an adventurous ride in the land of a different kind of music. Some quotes from Bob Marley include:
|"Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!"
"Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're living?"
"Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds!"

New Financial Services market report from Business Monitor International: "Philippines Insurance Report Q3 2014"
Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/02/2014 -- The Philippines insurance market will continue to be one of the fastest growing in the region. 2013 saw growth of over 42% in the life sector, albeit from a low base of USD2.85bn in 2012. The non-life sector is even smaller and growing at a much slower pace, at USD1.15bn in 2013 it is smaller than Vietnam's and less than 20% the size of Thailand's.
Life segment growth of 42% in 2013 is far below the initial estimates prompted by over-zealous reports for the first three quarters of the year. However, it remains a promising growth market and is the fastest growing in the South East Asian region (excluding the newly-formed Cambodian life market). However, at a little of USD40 per person, life insurance density remains low and will only reach USD80 in 2018. By comparison, Thai life insurance density was over USD200 per person in 2013 and Indonesia's USD55 and growing quickly. The segment remains dominated by the top 5 players, controlling over 60% of gross premiums
View Full Report Details and Table of Contents
The non-life sector grew at a faster pace than previously expected in 2013, with initial reports indicating 18% growth to USD1.4bn. No further breakdown has been released, but we expect to see growth in the motor insurance and health and personal accident lines. Insurance penetration passed 0.5% of GDP for the first time since 2004, a level far below that of Thailand, but roughly similar to Vietnam. Pioneer and Charter Ping An stand out as two domestic insurers that will exhibit strong growth over the next five years, particularly if regulatory developments continue to assist the market.
Key BMI Forecasts:
- Total premiums to grow to USD6.0bn by 2014.
- Life premiums grew by 43% in 2013 and will grow by 19% in 2014 to USD4.6bn.
- Non-life premium growth of USD2.0bn is forecast to 2018, only USD19 per capita.
- Motor vehicle insurance within this to grow to USD406mn.
- Moderate decline to USD117mn in 2014 in transport insurance.

None of the power options work either. I timed it to shut screens off after 1 min and sleep the comp at 3 min and nothing happens. Now I have reset the pram and have unchecked all the wake for such and such. The specs of the Pro are in my sig. Thanks for the help.

This being primarily a look at the reinvention of the law, an important part of future work is the repeal of all draconian laws. Let's look at that now.
Draconian Laws will be Repealed
SaLuSa tells us that " all over the world your rights have been gradually eroded, and often draconian laws introduced to replace them." (1)
These draconian laws were "introduced purely to keep a firm control over everything you do." (2)
All that will change. "The Laws of the Land … will be carefully scrutinized and amended, to take out those that are unjust and unlawful." (3)
"You will be freed from the many unjust laws that the dark Ones have brought in." (4)
"In a manner of speaking, life goes on as before in spite of the many problems facing you. However one thing is for certain, it shall not return to the previous period that started at the commencement of this Millennium." (5)
In some societies, discriminatory or persecutory practices occur and are justified as custom. But Matthew Ward explains:
"Other reforms that will be instituted quickly include ending cultural practices and customs that are unfair, injurious or lethal and the repeal of all unjust laws and regulations." (6)
Matthew tells us that "regulations and practices that are unjust or injurious will be overturned, including unfair taxation rates." (7) Right now if we receive abundance, every time it changes hands, it is taxed and gets smaller and smaller. Archangel Michael has told me that this practice will end.
We don't have to be afraid of dark initiatives being made at this time, SaLuSa says.
"Regardless of what changes to the Law are proposed, very few will ever see the light of day. It is for example like the present arguments over the gun law, as even if the anti-gun lobby get their way they will never achieve their goal." (8)
Moreover, we'll need to be regulated less and less in the times ahead, Saul tells us.
"As Love spreads Its influence far and wide, people increasingly start to behave in a manner that is in alignment with It, and consequently, the myriad rules and regulations governing your lives and to which you have grown accustomed become almost completely unnecessary. It has, in fact, become stunningly apparent that those myriad rules and regulations were established mostly for the sole benefit of those in positions of influence who are driven by their own egoic personal agendas." (9)
Tomorrow we'll look at constitutional and governmental changes.

who we are
The Barzani Charity Foundation is a non-governmental, non-political and non-profit organization which was founded in 2005 in Erbil, the capital city of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Mr Masrour Barzani is the head of BCF's Board of Founders and directly oversees the operation of this foundation.
The BCF has legal permission to work as a charitable non-governmental organization from both the Iraqi Government and the KRG. The increasing activities of the BCF in the area of humanitarian response to IDPs and refugees inside and outside KRI have given great credibility to the BCF in relation to reputable intergovernmental and international organizations and resulted in increased cooperation and coordination between the BCF and other concerned parties. These factors lead to the BCF being granted a Consultative Status at the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) in the organization's meeting in April 2016.
The BCF aims to provide assistance to local people in need, internally displaced people and refugees. The BCF also aims to improve the education (especially child education) and health fields in the Region and strives to improve the lives and opportunities of the disabled and people with special needs. In addition, orphan care makes one of the BCF's major working areas so far.
Barzani Charity Foundation has been named after the legendary Kurdish leader Mustafa Barzani (1903 -1979). The working philosophy of the foundation is based on a statement by Barzani where he says (It is a privilege to serve one's own people). Therefore, people or humanity make the center for the BCF's humanitarian work. For that, where there is a need for humanitarian assistance, the BCF considers its own responsibility to help, especially where it falls within its capacity and working sectors including (food assistance, non-food assistance, health and WASH, disability and education).
The lack of a domestic charitable organization in the Kurdistan Region to provide assistance to people in need and other disadvantaged people necessitated the establishment of the BCF in 2005. Besides, as the result of the security disruption in other parts of Iraq and in Syria following the unfolding of armed conflicts post-2003, the large refugee and internally displaced people who took sanctuary in the Kurdistan Region were in urgent need for assistance to receive food, clothing, healthcare, and shelter. The BCF has tried to fill the gap since its inception back in 2005 and strived to give a helping hand in various areas to those needed assistance the most.
The BCF's headquarter is in Erbil, the capital city of the KRI and it has offices in Duhok, Sulaymaniyah, Sinjar, Garmiyan and Nineveh. In addition, in cooperation with Erbil Joint Crisis Coordination Centre (EJCC), the BCF manages (13) camps within Erbil Governorate. The BCF also maintains offices at all camps in the KRI.

We're sad to report the passing of Bob Birch, longtime bassist for Elton John and session musician. Birch, who was 56, reportedly took his own life near his home in Los Angeles.
Born in Detroit, Michigan, Birch started out as an alto saxophonist before the sounds of Motown made him switch to bass in middle school. He worked the Detroit area with local bands and eventually made the decision to move to Los Angeles for bigger musical opportunities. There he took every gig he could get, and after paying his dues, got the opportunity to join the Elton John Band in 1992. A message was posted on Birch's death on John's website.
"We are very sad to report the sudden death today of Bob Birch, Elton's bass player and backing vocalist, in Los Angeles," the post read. "Bob had been a member of the Elton John band since 1992, the longest-serving bassist in Elton's touring band. We send love and condolences to Michelle Birch, and to their son, Jonathan."
Other accomplishments on Birch's resume including recording and performing with Billy Joel, Bryan Adams, Eric Clapton, Lionel Ritchie, B.B. King, Cher, Mary J. Blige and many more.
Our condolences to the family and friends of Bob Birch.

Around 18,500 journeys a day are now being made on London's iconic blue bikes, said a statement from Transport for London.
Less than six weeks since the Mayor, Barclays and TfL launched London's "new public transport system", over 80,000 people have signed up as members of the scheme, making more than 500,000 journeys between them.
While nicknamed 'Boris Bikes', the cycle rental scheme was actually the idea of the previous administration.
The popularity of the bank-sponsored scheme means that around 18,500 journeys are now being made every weekday by Barclays Cycle Hire bikes, despite the system currently being available to members only. On 7th September thousands of cycle hire members used the scheme to beat the strike, making a record 24,500 journeys between them.
Mayor Boris Johnson said: "It's an incredible achievement that cycle hire scheme members have already made half a million journeys, less than six weeks since the scheme launched. Our glorious blue bikes have transformed the city's streets, and are leading the charge in the two wheeled cycling revolution that is taking place in the Capital.
"Having a key to this scheme is just like having the keys to the city itself, and our pioneering members are embracing the scheme and the freedom it offers them in their tens of thousands."
David Brown, Managing Director of Surface Transport at TfL, said: "Around 93 per cent of all journeys made by Barclays Cycle Hire members have been under 30 minutes, which means that the vast majority of people using the scheme aren't paying any more than their daily £1, weekly £5 or annual £45 access fees."
Barclays Cycle Hire is due to be opened up to casual users and visitors later this year. In the meantime, anyone who has a UK bank or credit card account can sign up to use the scheme, for as little as £4 – the total cost of a membership key and an initial 24 hour membership. People who sign up for a daily membership can choose to auto-renew, which means they can start a new 24 hour hire period whenever they want, by simply inserting their cycle hire key into a docking point and taking a bike.

Fenwick, Ayrshire, Scotland Genealogy
Parish #592
This is a guide to the history and major genealogical records of Scotland as they pertain to the parish of Fenwick. To learn more about how to use these records to search for your ancestors, go to the Scotland: Research Strategies.
- 1 History
- 2 Census Records
- 3 Church Records
- 4 Civil Registration Records
- 5 Probate Records
The parish anciently formed part of Kilmarnock. In 1642, it was disjoined from that parish, and was for some time known by the name of New Kilmarnock. It appears to have derived its present name from Fenwick hill, in the neighborhood of the church. Fenwick is the nearest town. The Rev. Mr. Guthrie was the eldest son of a numerous family, three of whom devoted themselves to the work of the Christian ministry. About the age of 20 he made over the estate of which he was heir to his brother, that he might have not worldly cares to withdraw him from his studies and the duties of the sacred office. At the age of 24 he was appointed to the pastoral charge of this parish. He did a great deal to turn the parish and the members around to piety. The population in 1831 was 2019. The population in 1842 was 2020.
One third of the population belongs to the Established Church and the rest to the Dissenting Church.
This history was written in 1842.

Fenwick United Presbyterian Church
A praying society in Fenwick acceded to the Associate Presbytery in December 1737. In 1740 Mr. Smyton was ordained at Kilmaurs, and the seceders in Fenwick were included in his congregation. On the Sabbath after Mr. Boyd's ordination, he and a few friends from Stewarton entered Fenwick Church by a window, the doors having been barricaded. No parishioners attended the parish church for a time, subsequently a few of them attended. On the 6th of June 1782 a meeting was held to determine what religious denomination among the dissenters the reclaiming party should join. For a time they met in the open air or in a barn at Lettle Fenwick, until a church was built. Persons from Stewarton, Kilmaurs, and Kilmarnock joined the church and increased its prosperity. The first church was built in 1784. The second was built in 1831.

The markets rallied today after the semiconductor firm Xilinx reaffirmed guidance for the current quarter. The company also reported slowing rates of cancellations. Wall Street is excited by this because it hopefully indicates stronger underlying basics in the economy. From a Reuters report:
"This market has been priced for bad news so at any hint of good news, the market reacts positively," said Nick Angilletta, head of retail sales and trading at investment firm Salomon Smith Barney. "Thereis a change of focus, at least in the short term. Funds are taking money out of those (blue chip) names and putting it back into tech."
From a separate Reuters report:
"Thereis a growing optimism that weive pretty much hit the bottom, so people are not really paying attention to the (bad) news," said Edgar Peters, chief investment strategist at Boston-based PanAgora Asset Management Inc. "Theyive already taken it into account and now itis time to look forward and they think things are going to be better."
Tech stocks lead the rally, with all but one of the stocks we track in the Apple Stock closing in the black. Volume was semi-healthy in both the Dow and the Nasdaq with 1.1 billion and 1.8 billion shares trading hands respectively.
<MINI-RANT>The pinheads at Yahoo! Finance Vision have an article titled "New Technology: Generation iXi Operating Systems May Cause Havoc!" We donit know what itis about, and that is why we hurl the dreaded "pinhead" epithet. Yahoo! Finance Vision is not viewable in IE in either Classic or Mac OS X. The site is supposedly viewable in Netscape 4.7x on the Mac, but we were not able to actually view the video section. It did open two windows the full 1600 pixels across on our screen, while leaving the content squished in the middle, but whois counting? That site is a reflection of lazy developers who did not seek out the proper solutions for delivering their content, and itis just sad. The company obviously feels that the story is important to Apple investors, but canit be bothered to do more than a half-assed job at delivering their content to Mac users.</MINI-RANT>
Gatewayis CEO Ted Waitt is being compared to Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, in an article in the Wall Street Journal. The comparison derives from the fact that both men took over the troubled companies they founded after an absence, and the article suggests that Mr. Waitt can pull it off like Mr. Jobs did. Itis an interesting read, for those who care about Gateway. Gatewayis stock closed higher in light volume.
In the world of Internet Appliances, Compaq slashed the price of its iPaq products by US$200 to US$299. The company is also giving away 6 months of MSN with each unit.

In related news, HP has overtaken Compaq as the #1 vendor of home computer sales according to IDC. Compaq closed up at 16.11, a gain of 0.18 (+1.13%).
Apple was up and down today, but the stock traded in moderately strong volume and closed higher. AAPL opened slightly higher, dipped into Negativeland, jumped higher, fell back again, and the steadily climbed towards a close that was just off the dayis highs. The dayis range was 20.35 - 21.10.

text: manoftomorrow010 439 Report post Posted July 20, 2017 Man of Tomorrow here, I'm going to break down where I believe the Leader Cards for Set 1 shake out. This is obviously subjective, but the Leaders were evaluated on my ideas of how strong they are in their respective colors. Evaluating them based on how they'll work with 2, or more colors added a lot of extra complexity, and with a limited card pool, sticking to a mono-color for the purpose of this piece made it easier to digest. A caveat to the ranking is that the ability to draw 1 card when attacking on the Leaders' Awakened side was not even considered, since every Leader card gains this ability after Awakening. Let's get to it. Red Hit Champa Vados Hit is the best Red Leader in my opinion. His front side always gains 5,000 power when attacking, which will always beat a Leader's front side. It would force a basic Combo just to tie, which still goes to the attacker. After Awakening, he still gains the power advantage, but can also negate Blocker, which is a huge advantage. Champa is second-best in Red and with 12 of the 20 Red Battle Cards having 15,000 or more power, you have a really solid chance to draw a card on his front side. After Awakening, losing a card from your hand to gain Double Strike isn't nearly as effective if your deck consists of cards with 15,000 or more power, as many have Double or Triple Strike, or a way to get it naturally. I'm lukewarm on Vados, so here ranked third. Having to attack Battle Cards with your Leader offers board control, but locking yourself into that may be detrimental if your opponent is packing their own board control, limiting your options to effectively deal damage. Blue Super Saiyan God Son Goku (Starter Deck) Beerus Son Goku Vegeta Super Saiyan God Son Goku (Starter) ranks highest as it always has the ability to switch 1 or more Blue Energy to Active Mode. Blue is going to love that skill and it seems to play right into the theme. Also, after Awakening, having 5 Energy in Blue wouldn't be as difficult as having, say, 7, to trigger the power boost. Beerus is ranked second simply because his board control is great. It'll take a couple turns to get the required Energy, but Blue will be running cards to get extra Energy in one turn at 4 copies each (or should, I say). His alternate win condition is cool, but I doubt anyone will ever be pulling it off, especially with the current card pool. Son Goku is a decent Leader for Blue, and his +1,000 Power ability will be a simple tie-breaker early, but can't overcome a basic Combo (+5,000) until later. Awakened, he maintains the power boost, but you may find games ending before you're able to lay 7 Energy down for him to gain Dual Attack. Sigh. Yeah, I ranked Vegeta last. Critical is an extremely strong skill, however, there are too many hard counters. Blocker will ruin him, Counter: Attack can ruin him, then you're simply killing yourself for little to nothing. It's too risky out of the gate to be any higher than the other three Leader options in pure Blue. Green Broly Son Goku Son Gohan Broly is going to present the most problems for your opponent, and while depending on Broly's Ring, you're going to have 4 of them in your deck. Without Ring in play, it's a 1-for-1 trade that doesn't net much. Also, on Awakened, Broly's Ring doesn't affect the Battle Area, so remember, his effect will also hurt your board as well. Son Goku is just boring, but really consistent. Double Strike is solid damage, but he has the exact same ability on Awakened, which doesn't give you a new leg-up on anyone, since all Awakened Leaders have the 1 card draw as mentioned above. I ranked him higher than Son Gohan, simply because of the consistency. Son Gohan will require aggression to get mileage out of his front side, otherwise, it could wind up being blank if you get behind early, which really stinks. Son Goku's constant Double Strike outweighs the potential to blank your Leader skill after the first attack against you. Also, his Awakened side is so good, but not so much in mono-Green with this card pool. Will the game end before you're at 6 Energy? (Breaking my own rule, Son Gohan may really love being paired with Blue). Yellow Frieza (uncommon) Frieza (rare) Ginyu I really like the skill to switch Battle Cards to Active Mode, so uncommon Frieza gets the nod here. You have a lot of versatility with your board and Frieza doesn't have to attack to gain this skill as it's an Auto at the end of your turn. Switching 2 cards to Active on Awakened is gravy. Rare Frieza sacrifices the Frieza's Army Battle Cards to gain 1 card in-hand and putting 1 Energy in Active Mode. The known quantity seems better, and there are few Frieza's Army cards that have no beneficial effect to being in play. The Awakened side could potentially help you Evolve some of the more powerful Frieza Battle Cards, though. Ginyu has the ability to play his Ginyu Force (non-Ginyu) cards for no energy cost, provided they're in your life. There are 4 Ginyu Force Battle Cards that aren't Ginyu, so that's 16 cards in your deck. The odds aren't great, and it's a high risk/high reward strategy. Awakened, you get a little more bang for your buck at the cost of Life, it's just very risky here in Set 1. Feel free to discuss, and/or drag my thoughts through the mud. Anyone have opinions on ranking overall, independent of color? View full content 1 The Bear reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fellowship Extends Emergency Aid to French-Jewish Community
In wake of ISIS attacks, International Fellowship of Christians and Jews also provides immediate support to Jews who wish to immigrate to Israel
JERUSALEM, Nov. 15, 2015 In the wake of the deadly ISIS terrorist attacks in Paris, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (The Fellowship)'s President Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein today said his organization is expanding emergency security aid to French-Jewish communal institutions. The Fellowship at the same time said it will help any French Jew who wishes to immigrate to Israel.
"Amid the horrific terror attacks in Paris, it is critical that we help better protect French-Jewish communal institutions, which have been targets in the past," said Eckstein. "At the same time, we are extending our immediate support to any French Jew who wishes to leave France and make aliyah(immigrate) to Israel."
The Fellowship is providing immediate emergency aid of more than $86,000 to 25 synagogues and schools run by the Chabad Lubavitch movement across France, including in Paris and Toulouse, to beef up security by adding security guards and more sophisticated security systems. The Fellowship is also considering other steps to help improve security for the entire French-Jewish community.
The aid is the latest of more than $1 million in security support that The Fellowship began providing to Chabad institutions worldwide after the terror attacks in Mumbai against Chabad and others. The Fellowship has helped enhance security measures at some 22 Chabad synagogues and other institutions including in Argentina, Brazil, China, Cypress, Croatia, Denmark, Germany, Nepal, Spain, and Thailand, in addition to India and France.
Rabbi Mendel Azimov, the director of Chabad of Paris, said: "The last few days, have been living hell for the citizens of France, and especially for the Jews of Paris. Naturally we feel like sitting ducks, very aware that our community centers, synagogues, and educational institutions are in realistic danger at all times. Rabbi Eckstein was the first to approach us, seeking to immediately solve any security issues we may have. We do not have words sufficiently strong to express our gratitude. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews and its donors are saving lives, protecting the principles of freedom and fighting the terrorists with both love and courage."
At the same time, The Fellowship announced today it will help support any French Jew who wishes to immigrate to Israel. Two families will be leaving France on Monday for Israel with The Fellowship's assistance, while The Fellowship will also be bringing a special flight of French Jews to Israel at the end of November.
For those French Jews who wish to move to Israel, The Fellowship provides information fairs and preparatory seminars in France, guidance for six months once the immigrants arrive in Israel, employment counseling, one-time financial aid or six months of rental support, tuition assistance for job training, financial assistance to help immigrants learn Hebrew, material aid such as furniture, appliances, and medical treatment, and private tutors and informal education for children.
"It is vital that the Jews of France know we stand side-by-side with them and will do whatever is necessary to help their community at this challenging time," Eckstein said.
About The Fellowship
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein founded the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (The Fellowship) in 1983 to promote better understanding and cooperation between Christians and Jews, and build broad support for Israel. Today, The Fellowship is the world's largest organization of Christians actively working with Jews to support Israel and the Jewish people. Since its founding, The Fellowship has raised close to $1.25 billion for this work. The organization has offices in the U.S., Israel, Canada, Australia, Brazil, and South Korea.

Kitchener Chiropractic : We Can Help
Naturally, chiropractic helps traditional neck and back problems, but chiropractic has also produced wonderful results with a variety of other health problems, such as headaches, migraines, and shoulder pain.
Our Kitchener chiropractic office uses techniques that help our patients enjoy the fastest results in the shortest amount of time. As Kitchener chiropractors there are certain health conditions we especially enjoy helping. For us, our most rewarding cases involve…
Headaches and Migraines
I can't tell you how many times I've had a patient walk in my office that has lived with headaches and migraines almost all their life. I can't even imagine what that feels like. It's so rewarding to give these people their lives back when we are able to correct the cause of their headaches and relieve their pain. A lot of them get their life back for the first time in years.
Low Back Pain
This is the backbone of what the profession of chiropractic was built upon. Chiropractic specializes in and is extremely effective in relieving and correcting the cause of low back pain. If you suffer from pain in your lower back, you are in the right place!
Bed Wetting
This embarrassing problem for children can often be attributed to interference in the nervous system, specifically the nerves controlling the bladder. If your child is suffering from bed-wetting get his/her spine checked right away. It could be a very simple and gentle correction!
Childhood Ear Infections
Nothing makes us happier then helping kids get and stay healthy! All the recent research on chronic ear infections suggests that the use of antibiotics lowers your child's immune system and actually makes them 2 times more likely to get another ear infection. By correcting nerve interference in the upper cervical spine and increasing the immune response of the body we have helped a countless number of children and families correct these agonizing problems without drugs or surgery.
Call our Kitchener chiropractic office to make an appointment, so we can help you and your family!

The number of pilgrims performing darshans of the holy cave of Vaishno Devi crossed 1,70,000 in first 6 days of Navratri on Thursday.
Although, there is a slight decline in the figure of pilgrims this year, the Holy Shrine of Mata Vaishno Devi is witnessing increasing number of devotees.
The whole atmosphere of the temple has been filled with purity and spirituality. From Katra to Bhavan (main temple) peopel are chanting the slogans of Maa Vaishno Devi.
Thousands of devotees from across the country and abroad are reaching Vaishno Devi shrine for the nine-day Navratri festival. The special decoration with imported flowers and lightings have doubled up devotees joy and enthusiasm, as most of them find it a special visual delight after taking a arduous journey of 12 kilometres up the hills.
"The entire stretch from Katra to Ardhakumari to Mata's temple will energize you a lot. Even if you are going by walk, you will feel that some power is giving you energy to move forward. Everybody must visit this holy shrine at least once in his life," said one devotee.

Health Information
Hey! A Tarantula Bit Me!
What's a Tarantula?
A tarantula is a hairy spider that is part of the arachnid family, which also includes mites, ticks, and scorpions. Tarantulas are found all over the world and can grow up to 5 inches long, but those found in the United States are usually about 2 to 3 inches long (about the length of a crayon).
Tarantulas can be black, brown, gray, or even brightly colored. Most people are afraid of tarantulas because they are so large and weird-looking, but the truth is that these spiders are not dangerous. They live in nests in the ground and are pretty timid, avoiding people whenever they can.
What a Bite Looks and Feels Like
If a person gets bitten by a tarantula, the bite will probably feel a lot like a bee sting, with pain in the area of the bite. It will look like a bee sting, too, with redness and some swelling.
Because the tarantula's venom (poison) is weak, it's unusual to have more severe reactions involving other parts of the body.
What You Should Do
If you think you've been bitten by a tarantula, wash the bite with soap and water. If the bite hurts a lot, you can ask an adult for some pain medication. Placing an ice pack on the bite can also help.
What a Doctor Will Do
Allergic reactions to a tarantula's bite are unusual. But just like some people have allergic reactions to bee stings (like trouble breathing or feeling sick), some people may have allergic reactions to tarantula bites. If a doctor suspects that someone is allergic to a tarantula bite, he or she will treat the person with medicine to fight this reaction.
How to Avoid Getting Bitten
If you come across a tarantula, don't bother it or try to play with it. These spiders will not bite you unless they feel threatened — if you leave them alone, they will leave you alone.

Find the Best Plan in Your Area
Find The Right Dentist For You
A new research study reveals the source of the inflammation response in the mouth during bacterial attack, which is one part of the mouth's natural defense mechanisms against tooth decay.
The study, which will be published in BMC Immunology, describes how odontoblast cells, which are couched between tooth enamel and pulp, produce a comprehensive immune response during bacterial intrusion.
The odontoblast cells produce antimicrobial peptides that in turn fight the bacterial infection and prompt white blood cells to attend to the site. However, they also produce proteins that both start up and regulate an accompanying inflammatory response. This inflammation, however, often leads to teeth death and abscesses.
Dr. Orapin Horst, one of the study researchers, noted that "for the first time we now have targets to control irreversible inflammatory damage to teeth."
As scientists research the mouth's natural self-defense mechanisms, most individuals can take a proactive role in protecting against tooth decay.
Brushing twice daily and flossing once a day, along with scheduling routine dental cleanings, the American Dental Association suggests, are key techniques for maintaining continual good oral health.

Should I continue telling people about my writing, the problems I have, the way I do things? Well, it didn't seem too popular the first time round, and even I couldn't have enjoyed it that much since I stopped doing it some months ago (I know, full time job + baby = not much time (quite the understatement!), but even so, a few moments here and there for a blog post wasn't too much to ask)... So that was a no.
I couldn't write about my publishing experience, as I have none. I didn't want to do a parenting blog as I don't feel I have the knowledge or experience (yet!) to inform other people.
So what then?
That's when the lovely Rebecca Emin (see her blog at http://ramblingsofarustywriter.blogspot.com/) explained flash fiction to me. Teeny tiny stories of under 1000 (or 500) words. Compact, precise, quick. Perfect.
Well, we'll see. Perhaps perfection is a bit too much to ask right now, but have a look and see what I can come up with!

This is a dress that made me squeal with delight! It's half 70s with the kimono sleeves and front tie neckline and part 40s era with the floral motif. I found it during last week's obscene Labor Day thrift haul. Seriously, so many goodies. Anyway snagged this dress for $1.50.
It had very old water stains on it. I sprayed it with spot cleaner and washed it. Perfection except for wrinkles which I ironed so you know I was really feeling this dress!
THRIFT A 70s DRESS
It's getting harder and harder to find pre-80s vintage in thrift stores. Ready fashion is cheap and plentiful so donated clothes are still pretty current fashion. You may want to go the estate sale or vintage store route.
When you find a thrift store packed with vintage dresses don't divulge the location. Kidding. I found this dress and some other fab vintage goodies at a Salvation Army I had never been to and it's a gold mine! :)
Luckily I was able to remove the stains from the dress but just be sure to examine your thrift purchases carefully for stains, tears, and other things likely to cause sad face.
Don't waste your time looking at the size label. This dress had a dry clean only tag and nothing else. Just eyeball it or try it on.
Options are endless. Think of styling it as you would any other dress.
Beware of costuming. I wanted to wear my sparkly earrings and my ornate rhinestone bracelet plus carry a glamorous vintage bag. I had to step back because I realized I was starting to look like a Gatsby extra.
I chose to get a little edgy instead with a 90s leather clutch with animals and silver shoes.
You can also put your dress on display by toning down the rest of your look with simple, classic jewelry and accessories.

3 Things You Must Do If You're Not Downsizing in Retirement
Should I stay in my home in retirement, or downsize? It's a question that homeowners have been asking themselves for years. Most recently, a national survey from NeighborWorks America found that 54 percent of nonretired homeowners over the age of 45 plan to stay put when they retire, hoping to enjoy the home they've lived in for decades and where their children have grown up.
But even the best-laid plans can go astray without proper financial planning that maintains enough income in retirement to pay all of the bills that come with owning a home. Follow these tips to make retiring in your castle the dream you've always imagined.

Are You Getting the Whole Picture as you Optimize Application Performance?
As you deploy optimization to improve application performance over the WAN you need to know what kind of results you are getting. To help understand the benefits of deploying these systems you might be looking at reports from the WAAS central manager or to get end-to-end results you might have deployed probes from an NMS vendor. These reports can provide useful insight into the benefits of optimization; however there is more to the picture that you might want to look at. What if you need detailed data for planning, performance analysis and troubleshooting across network elements and you need to save on the costs of deploying these systems?
Let's say you need to quantify the impact of WAN Optimization on application and network performance, or you need to perform throughput analysis of LAN/WAN bandwidth to justify the benefits a deployment. You might need a way to leverage performance data gathered in proof-of-concept scenarios in your analysis, or you might want help in identifying the best links for optimization or to be able to characterize the end-user experience with transaction and session-based statistics.
If you want to ensure consistent and efficient delivery of applications and services you need a way to get visibility into network and application performance. Quickly getting to the root of problems requires troubleshooting tools that improve operational efficiency and minimize impact to the end users. End-to-end visibility in a WAN environment means being able to measure application response time, transaction time, bandwidth usage, and LAN and WAN data throughput. It also means being able to monitor before and after analysis and user experience improvements, as well as identifying sources of delay-causing issues.
To do this type of analysis you need a system that can gather and present application traffic data in a way that is easy to use and that provides drill down detail. What you need is the Cisco Network Analysis Module (NAM). Cisco NAM is a data collector and an analyzer that can identify the applications that would benefit the most from deploying Cisco WAAS. It can help to reduce mean time to repair when deep-dive network troubleshooting is required and it can streamline the workflows between high-level reporting and detailed packet level detail drill down so you get the big picture and the details.
Up to this point network traffic analysis and WAN optimization have been separate systems, but at smaller locations you need to watch costs. Virtualization and device integration can help with this. Cisco NAM is available on the WAAS WAVE appliances on a virtual server instance giving you WAN Optimization and data collection on one device and saving the cost of the data collector equipment. Take a look here to learn how Cisco NAM helps enable you to Optimize Application Performance.

Thanks for the information, network diagnostic tools really help in getting detailed data on planning, performance analysis and troubleshooting across network elements and it also saves costs on deploying these systems.
I read an article that says Traffic prioritization, End-to-end tunnels, employing better protocols than TCP, or TCP tricks are boiled down by WAN optimizaion.

The Congressman Who Dared
New Mexico Congressman Steven Schiff died much too young as a victim of skin cancer in 1998, but he left an official legacy of sorts as a champion of people who demanded information about the 1947 Roswell UFO incident. Because Roswell is "big stuff" again with the release of a new book and the quickly infamous "Walter G.Haut affidavit," we really should take a moment to remember Schiff's brief, yet important, contribution to the investigation.
Schiff aggressively attempted to learn the facts about Roswell via official channels such as the General Accounting Office, but repeatedly met "stone walls" and accounts of Roswell documentation having been systematically destroyed years ago. A letter I received from his office in 1994, shown here (click on it to enlarge), demonstrates his passion to obtain information from any and all potential sources.
Congressional members willing to actively pursue UFO-related issues, especially in full view of public scrutiny, unfortunately seem far and few between currently. If only they realized what heroes they would be to all of us, should the day ever come when they resolve to stop at nothing until we, the people, have the truth to which we're entitled, as members of what once glittered briefly, and now precariously, as a free and open society.
Steven Schiff -- Thank you, sir, we salute your rare memory, for you stood alone while others cowered, chuckled or pursued political goals purely of the self-help variety.

FRANKFURT--German business confidence fell in September to its lowest level in more than a year, a closely watched survey showed Wednesday, suggesting that Europe's largest economy is unlikely to return to strong growth as it scrambles to rebound from an economic contraction in the second quarter.
The lead indicator in the Ifo survey fell to 104.7 in September, from 106.3 in August, to hit its lowest level since April 2013. The September figure was well below the 105.8 predicted by analysts in a Wall Street Journal survey carried out last week.
"The German economy is no longer running smoothly," said Ifo President Hans-Werner Sinn in a news release.
The data follow a separate survey of purchasing managers published Tuesday which suggested a slight acceleration of German economic activity in September.
German gross domestic product contracted 0.6% at an annualized pace during the second quarter, or 0.2% on a quarterly basis. But that came after strong expansion during the first three months of the year.
A sharp rise in industrial production during July had fueled hopes that Europe's largest economy will recover this quarter.
On Monday, Germany's Bundesbank said that there wouldn't be an abrupt end to the country's growth trend, but it also cautioned that some July data from the industrial sector were artificially supported by special factors, such as the timing of school holidays.
The Ifo report indicates that Germany "has reached a dangerous stage between soft spell and longer-lasting almost-stagnation," ING economist Carsten Brzeski said in a research note.

Well, Drat!!!!
Well, Drat. The Dragon Vest is going back in the UFO box. All I did was get out the Country Gardens Sampler, and DH almost fainted. "NO, not THAT!" he cried.
And I looked, and in twelve months only one thing has happened to it.
This is how it looks at the minute:
There is a slightly larger photo HERE, but I need to work on the quality.
I am stalled as I have the grasshopper/cricket to finish, and then just add all the stumpwork. I have the pieces ready to go. Trust me.
So I have uploaded all my small photographs onto a Flickr set (sure makes you get organised as to what you have recorded, and what you haven't!), and I am off to work on it. I did enjoy doing all the "boundaries" in this, using CQ stitches - wonder if I can add a few more beads now, without losing meaning.
For those who are unfamiliar with it - it is the Country Garden sampler from Jenny Bennett (Jenny Bee), a stumpwork designer from Sale, in Victoria (ie one of my local needlework shops I actually walk into). I did classes for all of 2002 with Jenny for this - just it is the giant UFO that has never been finished.
(In looking at Jenny's page for the links, I see she has her new Sea Life sampler up there. I get to walk in and have a look!)
When I get it done, I am allowed to go back to my Dragon Vest. And Biblical Vest. And Peacock Vest - I haven't even photographed that one yet.

Ultimate Fighting Championship president Dana White breached his own company's regulatory protocol by removing a judge during UFC Fight Night 48 last Saturday in China, the UFC announced.
White had requested that judge Howard Hughes be removed from working any further bouts saying later that he did not agree with Hughes's scorecards.
UFC said that "neither White nor any other UFC executive possesses such authority" to remove Hughes.

The company apologized to Hughes for what they said was "calling his professional judgment into question." The UFC said they look forward to Hughes, who has judged more than 25 UFC fight cards, to working at the company's events in the future.

Elf Owl
(Micrathene whitneyi)
Facts about this animal
The Elf Owl is a very small, nocturnal bird, about the size of a large sparrow (13-15 cm long). It has a large, rounded head without ear tufts, yellow eyes, brown upperparts with white spots, and a brown and gray breast with white belly. The tail is very short. The sexes are similar in size and appearance.
It is a cavity nester and will occupy an old woodpecker hole in a large cactus or dead tree. Eggs are laid once every other day on the bare floor of the cavity from the last week of April through early June; most in late May. The females lay clutches of 3-4 eggs that are incubated by male and female for 14 days.
Its diet consists almost exclusively of arthropods (Insects, spiders...). Most Elf Owl populations are migratoy, moving south to Mexico in winter.
Did you know?
that Elf Owls breeding success is the highest of any reported for North American Owls (70% of all eggs laid result in fledged young)? This high rate of success is due to the difficulty that mammalian predators have in reaching nests, especially those in cacti.

|Often in dryer habitats. It can be found in different kind of forests, arid lowland scrubs, Saguaro deserts, wooded canyons.
|Wild population
|About 190,000 (Partners in flight 2008), but this species has suffered from loss and degradation of habitat, much of which has been converted to agriculture, and in some parts of its U.S. range it has become quite rare. Reintroduction programs to southern California have been met with mixed success. Habitat restoration in Arizona and New Mexico and elsewhere is underway.

In the Zoo
How this animal should be transported
Owls travel best in completely dark boxes. Boxes should be slightly longer than the head to tail length of the bird intended to travel, and wide and high enough for the bird to be able to stand or lie down in comfort without banging its shoulders or head. A well made wooden box with no perches is required, with carpet or some other non slip surface fixed on the floor and a padded ceiling, with air-holes on either side. The easiest type of door to use is an upward sliding door at one end. The door can then be slid up a small amount; the bird visualised before being grasped by the legs, carefully, through the small opening before sliding the door fully open for removal. A handle fixed to the top of the box makes carrying easier.
For air transport, Container Note 20 of the IATA Live Animals Regulations should be followed.

Why do zoos keep this animal
The reason for keeping elf owls is primarily educational as they are the smalles owl species of North America. They are also a good ambassador species for the conservation of their habitats, which are threatened by human encroachment and the deviation of water.

I've now been undergoing Invisalign treatment for almost two years and although in many aspects time has flown by it is certainly starting to drag. Initially, my treatment was due to finish around six months ago. However, my dentist and I have continually not been happy with the results. So, I am now on my second set of refinements with hopefully only another three months left and aiming to have perfect teeth by Christmas. Here are my honest opinions and FAQ on Invisalign:
Why Did You Decide To Have Invisalign and Not Traditional Braces? I was offered braces on the NHS as a teenager but I felt too self conscious to commit to having metal on my teeth at the time. Growing up I was always unhappy with how my teeth looked so I decided to invest in Invisalign treatment at Pearl Dental Clinic. I felt too old to have fixed braces and wanted braces that I could remove for my graduation or an evening out.
Is Invisalign Painful? Invisalign can be painful especially during the first few days of wearing a new retainer. In addition to this, the dentist may shave between your teeth to create space to allow the teeth to move in treatment. Whilst this isn't painful it's not the most pleasant experience.
How Long Will Invisalign Take? This depends on what your teeth are like prior to treatment, some cases take only a few months where as other more complex cases can take over a year. Another factor that influences progression is how compliant you are with wearing your retainers. They should be worn for 22 hours everyday otherwise your treatment could take longer than expected.
How Does Invisalign Affect Day-To-Day Life? Invisalign is a long process and it is difficult to stay motivated sometimes. Wearing plastic retainers all day can be frustrating, especially having to take them out to eat and drink in public. My downfall is forgetting to put them back in afterwards. After you finish your treatment you will need to wear a retainer at night, every night for the rest of your life to stop your teeth moving back or you can opt from a fixed retainer on the back of your teeth.
Would I Recommend Invisalign To A Friend? In short, yes. I felt very self-conscious about my teeth prior to treatment but now I actually have the confidence to smile in photos and it has changed my face shape. Invisalign isn't always suitable for every case so it is important to find a dentist you trust with experience and make sure the outcome you want is achievable.
These are my most recent before/after pictures. I'll post an update again once I've finished my treatment and post-invisalign whitening. I'm also due to have composite veneers to correct the tooth wear I've suffered through night grinding – more on that later!

text: Sooooo, I'm looking at replacing my Danelectro French Toast (Fuzz and Octave Up) with a better quality fuzz. I've tried the MXR Blue box and its a similar sound, but is a bit to quiet. The Vexter Fuzz Factory is looking to be my best option but before I lay that sorta cash down I want to make sure there are no other options for less money. The reviews on Harmony-central say that this is quite a good fuzz, now whether that is good fuzz for the money or just a damn good fuzz full stop I don't know. So any reviews, thoughts or experience with this pedal would be greatly appreciated (Jazz Ad?). And any other suggestions of fuzz pedals that create random noises while playing, while still keeping note definition would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

"We are grateful that he gave so much time coming to the poorer nations ... simply to teach us the Bible." Ajith Fernando about John Stott
Most people latch on to a specific idea and make it their life's mission. We are told at every turn to focus our efforts in order to create something truely unique and to get the attention of an increasingly distracted audience. So in the interest of efficiency and focus, we "zoom in" on what we believe we can offer to the world.
There is great value in focused work, but I worry that our persistent focus, and the pride that it so often brings, is causing us to lose site of the larger picture. We have all met those individuals who act like their cause or idea is the most important one in the world - to the exclusion of all others.
We need a broader more balanced approach to our efforts as innovators and Generous Minds. This was one of the main lessons that I took away from watching the interactions online after John Stott passed away recently. In the articles, videos and quotes that I saw, I got a sense for a man who saw the whole vision for the church so clearly. And this larger vision allowed him to focus in on specific ideas or efforts at certain times. But I get the sanse that he never lost the larger perspective on God's heart for His creation.
I think that is why so many of the reflections about John Stott speak about humility. Because his identity was not wrapped up in his particular agenda, God grew him into a humble man who was there to serve those around him. The quote from Adjith Fernando at the top of this article embodies that so powerfully.
Our best efforts can look like self-serving agendas and personal passions to the outside world. I would encourage you to read David Brook's article about John Stott to see how he was viewed differently than so many in the Christian world.
As I read David Neff's article at the time of John Stott's 90th birthday, I got another insight into this amazing servant of God. David zero's in on John's discipline. Incidentally, I saw a tweet from Billy Graham's grandson, Pastor Tullian Tchividjian, talking about John's discipline as well.
Not only did John Stott see the bigger picture and enter it with humility, but he was extremely disciplined in his very specific ministry efforts. I believe these factors held in creative tension were part of the reason that he is known as one of the fathers of modern evangelicalism.
Do we bring the balance between "big picture" and "focused effort" along with the "humility to serve" and "discipline to achieve"? These things will seem to pull us in very different directions at times. But all these things are important to God and He will give us the ability to embrace each for the benefit and blessing they bring to our labors.
Take some time to read the quotes from John Stott that I curated from twitter and the commemorative video that has been watched by over 10,000 people.
"We should travel light and live simply. Our enemy is not possessions but excess." John RW Stott
"God's church means people not buildings, and God's word means Scripture not traditions." -John Stott"
"The symbol of the religion of Jesus is the cross … not the scales." (John Stott)
"The Gospel isn't good advice to men but good news about Christ; not an invitation to do, but a declaration of what God has done." John Stott
"Christians need to look like what they're talking about"-John Stott
"Until you see the cross as that which is done by you, you will never appreciate that it is done for You" - John Stott
