After hitting it big with his wine bar Racines, then taking a year off, Pierre Jancou is back with another winner, the tiny Vivant, in a lively part of the 10th arrondissement. The long, narrow room began its life around 1900 as a shop that sold pet birds, as the lovely ceramic murals attest. As at his former establishment, Jancou is all about ingredients. So we have the incomparable boudin noir from Christian Parra, the moist, meaty duck from Challans in France's southwest, lovely Italian burrata and equally amazing smoked mozzarella. This is a wintry, meaty sort of place but not necessarily heavy. An autumn meal here linked summer and fall, with an entire burrata (that irresistible mozzarella filled with rich, tangy cream) bathed in a puddle of delicious olive oil, seasoned with coarse salt, pepper, herbs, and a tiny garden of last-of-season cherry tomatoes. We ushered in fall with another hit: crunchy polenta topped with wild pleurote (oyster) mushrooms and a meltingly rich round of smoked mozzarella that humoursly resembled a giant mushroom cap (photo). A main course of Challans duck – moist, tender, meaty – was set upon a golden bed of mashed potatoes with the crunch of coarse salt and thin slices of red onion. An equally succulent cochon de lait was served with an ochre square of polenta, soft and creamy inside, crunchy on the outside. All was escorted by a glass or two of the lively Cotes du Rhone Village red, Pur, and golden crisp baguettes from Le Grenier a Pain nearby.
VIVANT, 43 rue des Petites Ecuries, Paris 10. Tel: +33 1 42 46 43 55. Métro: Bonne Nouvelle. Open: Monday-Friday. Closed Saturday and Sunday.8-14 euros for starters, 14-24 for mains. Wines from 6 euro a glass. Reservations recommended.

Would like to know more about Tewa needles?Contact Us
High-quality TeWa brand needles are bi-metallic, composed of a stainless steel shaft and a traditional copper-wound loop handle. The copper handle provides excellent conductivity for electro stim.Practitioners have noted that bi-metallic needles made of copper/stainless steel have a stronger energetic effect than those made up of metals with similar energetics, (i.e. stainless steel paired with aluminum or chrome).The yin/yang nature of the different metals creates an electron transfer which give the needles an enhanced energy.
Coated TeWa needles have a micro-layer of bio-inert FDA-approved silicone which reduces friction on insertion, enabling practitioners to reach target depth and minimize patient discomfort. Needle tips are also ground by automated machines, thereby ensuring perfect needle tip consistency.
Eastern Currents is committed to satisfying customer needs and expectations. We strive for excellence, providing superior products and services. We maintain a quality management system and are certified ISO9001:2008
Each TeWa needle 40mm and longer is packaged in a Safe-T Sleeve™, the world's first two-part guide tube. The Safe-T-Sleeve™ ensures 100% clean needle compliance. This new guide tube system allows practitioners to confidently insert longer needles in the safest most efficient way while maximizing patient comfort.
Each acupuncture needle comes in a unique two-part tube comprised of a short guide sleeve fitted to the exterior of the longer insertion tube. This design allows the practitioner to insert the needle into the dermis, then remove the inner insertion tube and utilize the guide sleeve that remains in place to complete insertion to the correct depth - all without compromising the sterility of the needle shaft. The Safe-T Sleeve is ideal for all types of needling requiring 1.5" needles or longer.

How To Remove Bad Backlinks From Your Website
This year, you will need authoritative backlinks to compete on search engines for your targeted keywords.
In this post, we will go over on-site optimization and also explain more about bad backlinks that affect your website from ranking on Google search for targeted keywords.
On-site optimization
On-site Optimization (SEO) is making sure your website pages, titles, tags, content and overall web structure is optimized for your target keywords for search engines.
Bad backlinks (inbound links or low authority links) can affect your website due to how your links are connected. Why? Because there are two types of backlinks, Do-follow and No-follow.
Some Small business websites can sometimes create unnatural links that will look sufficient, but instead of growth you find your business in a downward spiral. Other small businesses I've worked with, bought bad backlinks for their website and saw their rankings drop drastically within days of these links being indexed by Google and saw their rankings disappear for some of their well on-page optimized content.
In some cases, buying bad links might give you short term success but eventually it will not be pretty when google finds your bluff.
Best option - NEVER BUY BACKLINKS.
Where do bad or low quality links come from?
Most bad links can come from websites that are create for the sole purpose of supplying links to your website. Some times you might hire an SEO company that has no idea what they are doing, and the end results - links from sites that have no value to your content.
Backlinks should never be created unnaturally as Google will be able to detect how often these sites are linking to you and penalize your website with no warning.
Links from comments
We all know you can gain authoritative links from commenting on other websites, so why is this a problem? You see, just commenting on another website for links is bad for SEO.
Why is that?
In order to have a successful link profile, the site you are commenting on has to be related to your website, has to be a do-follow link and with page rank authority (established site with trust from Google). For example: If you sell hand bags, commenting on a restaurant blog will not help with your SEO efforts. Yes, you will surely obtain a link back but you won't gain any value to boost your search rankings.
To get serious about building a natural backlink profile and gaining the right links for your website to rank better on search, you must approach your link building from an analytic technical view.
Use well trusted SEO software solutions like; Ahrefs, Google analytics and Google webmaster tools. These tools will give you a clear inside of how your website is performing on Google search. Use these analytic tools and see why you needed them yesterday if you are serious about SEO.
Ahrefs SEO Tool
Using Ahrefs, you can focus on building a visual understanding of how your backlinks flow to your website. You will be able to find the following:
- Refering Domains
- Full backlinks profile
- Quality links
- Low-quality links
- Pages with backlinks
- Backlink count per page
Being able to visually this data can help you analyze your site backlinks more thoroughly and build a better link strategy for your website.
Google Analytics
Using a free google analytics account, you can see how traffic flows into your site. Things that you'll need to check and improve for SEO.
- Keywords being used to search for your website.
- Referral traffic
- Organic search traffic
- Time spent on site
- Visitor flow, to see what pages get the most hits.
- Website structure and how it's presented on Google search.
Google Webmaster Tools
Do not ignore your Google webmaster tools, these tools will help you get a better understanding of how Google does the following;
- Ranks your site for targeted keyword in organic search.
- Actual keyword positions
- Crawling status
- Errors in regards to non responsive pages.
- Demode links in search.
- Index pages instantly from your website.
How to get started with off-page optimization.
Over optimized anchor texts
Backlinks to your website are linked using an anchor text. This anchor text can contain your website's name, keyword or URL.
So why can my anchor text be a problem when it comes to optimizing my site?
Google uses your anchor text as a brigde between your website and the backlink to better understand your page. If your site uses exact keywords for anchor text, as many unqualified companies might do, this will expose your site to a Google penalty.
The best is to stick with your URL as anchor text or your company name if not too long.
Backlinks from India, China and Russia
I have seen this over and over again. Working on a site that has links from countries with different languages but expecting to rank for keywords in English. To be honest, this is terrifying as you are literally killing your sites ranking on steroids.
Websites linking to you have to be related to your business. So understanding that a link from a China, India or Russia websites for a business in Los Angeles, CA will not work out well as the link is just a backlink with no juice to get your website on search ranking for your keywords. In order to rank your business locally, you will need to have links from sites within your city, that possess authority in your niche or industry.
How to remove bad backlinks from your site today
We have looked at the different ways you can gain backlinks without knowing and where suspicious links might come from and why they have no value.
Now let's take a look at how you can get your backlinks on track by removing or disavowing bad ones from your link profile.
Note: As your website grows, you will find backlinks you never even thought you had, just make sure they a natural and of value.
So how do you disable these bad links?
Using my strategy, I have developed ways to disable these bad links without losing your Google rankings for keywords and pages visible on search, actually in most cases your rankings will increase within a short period of time as Google roles out updates and you build authoritative backlinks to those pages.
Things you can do;
- Contact the website linking to you and politely ask the site owner to remove the link. If they can't be removed, just simply disavow these links in Google.
- Too many bad backlinks, create an excel spreadsheet and analyse which ones to disavow right away.
- Get rid of all 404/410 pages on your website
Most of these points, especially your 404/401 pages should be disabled only if you strongly believe your website has been penalized by Google. Removing these pages will affect your website traffic and rankings in the short term, will eventually increase your search rankings and traffic in the future. (It's hard to tell when this will start occurring, but with google algorithm updates on a monthly bases - should see your rankings moving on the positive side).
Note: When you disavow links, these backlinks will still be visible in you link profile, but will not be put into account when ranking your website on Google search.
How does Backlinkfy remove my bad backlinks?
Before we start working on your links, we analyse your industry and build a list of competitors. Then we do the following;
- Manage your backlinks and find the links that actually harm your site. (Unnatural links, spams, link exchanges)

Need a head-turning appetizer to warm up the holiday season?
I made these adorable penguin appetizers for a Christmas Eve party last year, and they were a huge hit, both with the novelty/cuteness factor, and for the taste. Besides, I had fun making them, and they were vegan, so everyone could eat them.
1 carrot, preferable organic
1 can extra large pitted olives
1 can small pitted olives
Cream cheese or vegan cream cheese mixture, about 1/4-1/2 cup
Optional: about 2 TBS chopped nuts, added to cream-cheese-like mixture
I don't recall exactly which vegan cream-cheese-like recipe I used, but there are lots online. Most call for some nuts, tofu, salt, sugar, lemon juice, and possibly other flavorings, like garlic, blended together in a blender or food processor. Anything fairly white and savory will do, but it needs to be a stiff consistency, so it will stay stuffed in the olives and hold its shape.
To Make the Penguins:
For each penguin, you'll need
1 extra large olive
1 small olive
1 toothpick
1 slice carrot
1 tsp cream cheese mixture
Cut a wedge out of the large olive. Save the larger piece to stuff; eat the smaller piece.
Fill the large olive piece with filling. Fill the small olive with filling.
Cut a small triangular piece from the slice of carrot. The small piece will be the beak; the large piece will be feet.
Very carefully, cut a slit into the small stuffed olive, going only about halfway through it.
Insert the carrot triangle "beak." You may need to cut a larger slit, or make thinner carrot slices.
Insert the toothpick down through the olive "head,"
then the olive "body,"
and finally, through the carrot "feet."
Stand your penguin up and smile.
I stuck them into the bottom of an old foam take-out food tray, so they would remain standing and not fall apart. They looked like an entire colony, socializing.
You can use all larger sized olives, but I thought it looked better using a smaller size for the head. This would be a fun thing to make with kids.
In fact, they don't need to be for the holidays at all, but they seem perfectly suited to winter and festivity.
Give them a try, and I guarantee your appetizers will get lots of attention and comments.

Square 4
Misty Carroll Davis
"For the Joy of the Lord is Your Strength." (Nehemiah 8:10)
September 28, 1970 – July 18, 2009
Misty, Misty, Misty
You were a woman of integrity and devotion and so full of life and joy. You were a dear wife, a most loving mother and stepmother, sister and our most precious daughter. How we miss you and find it so unbearable without you but our hope in the Lord abounds and we know we will see you again.
We just want to let you know how the Lord blessed and lifted our spirits on your memorial day while celebrating your joyous life. All of your wonderful family and friends (including two of your school principals) gathered to share their thoughts and memories of you as we enjoyed delicious food and reminisced. Toward the end of the day, we walked outside and were overjoyed to witness a spectacular and beautiful double rainbow. This was significant to us in that God's promises are always true.
Misty, you were such a dear and friendly person in life and never met a stranger. You cannot imagine how your legacy will always continue because of the gift of your unselfish love by being an organ donor. People who you never knew will have a more fulfilling life – again, you never met a stranger.
On the day you went to meet the Lord (with your purple-pink hair) we know He understands that you and Naomi were excited and anticipating your vacation to Hawaii. Your adventure to your Hawaiian paradise was not to occur. Instead, you transcended and bore witness to the ultimate paradise.
We had discussed the purple-pink hair and the delicious pineapples from Hawaii which you were going to bring back. So the significance of the rainbow, the purple-pink hair (that is why you name of the quilt is that color), and the pineapple will always be precious treasures in our hearts until we meet again.
Love you forever and ever,
Mom, Pop, Wayne, Hunter, Naomi, Nicole, Bridget, Kim and Ricky


text: Technology's evolution a challenge for advisors As any advisor in the wealth management business is well aware, being able to harness technology to your advantage is a vital part of the job these days. The digital era means financial planners have a great deal more tools at their disposal, but the development of technology has not been entirely to their advantage. The rise of robo-advisors is one such change that has made the life of an advisor in 2016 that bit more challenging. The internet age also means investors have a wealth of information readily available to them, so clients are that much more clued-up when they walk in the door. As a result, those who make a living through offering financial guidance need to be one step ahead when it comes to the latest technology and how best to use it. Luckily there are products out there that make wealth management that bit more manageable, and in a plethora of ways. EquiSoft is an industry leader when it comes to the design and development of digital business solutions and the company has excelled in providing these products and services particularly in the wealth management space. In fact, after its foundation in 1994, the firm's very first program was tailored to advisors, as EquiSoft Vice-President, Wealth Management Solutions, Jonathan Georges outlines. "EquiSoft was formed to develop the first version of WealthElements," he says. "It was originally marketed as a product called Asset Allocation Analyst, which was exclusively focused on asset allocation and investment portfolio construction. Today, Asset Allocation Analyst is but one module (albeit a very important one) within the WealthElements suite of integrated tools." Needless to say perhaps, but that program has morphed considerably in the interim period, reflecting the changing face of the advisory business. Central to improving the product was ensuring that advisors could have a one-stop-shop for all the tools they need to take a holistic, 360 degree view of their client's or prospect's wealth. One of the biggest challenges with adding functionality to any software is ensuring that it remains easy and efficient to use so that advisors can devote more time to managing and nurturing client and prospect relationships. "We enhanced it with additional features – retirement planning, saving for a child's education, life and living benefit insurance needs," says Georges. "All that functionality was carefully added over the years to keep that balance between ease of use and comprehensive analysis." Of course, even before the latest incarnation of WealthElements is released, the team at EquiSoft will already be working on the next version. Such are the realities of the business. "Originally the application in the mid-90s was not web-based, it was a locally installed application that came in eight separate diskettes," says Georges. "Furthermore, every month we were sending out investment fund database updates to reflect the latest fund holdings and fund performance within the application." Today, offering a web-based system means much less work for the mailman, but plenty of effort for the developers of the software. "With the evolution of technology we moved web-based a number of years ago and part of the challenge there is you don't know what web browser the user may have," says Georges. "So the challenge is being up-to-date with any of the enhancements the web browsers may make because we have to compatible at all times – not to mention all the additional security requirements."

So here is yesterday's Sunday Steal: a Hawthorne New Market Woolen Dress Sheet. This sheet is normally around $175.00 but since HorseLoverz.com has partnered with a tack store liquidation, you can get it for $49.95. There are limited sizes but if your horse fall into one of the those sizes, it's a great deal! I love the look of these sheets and they would be perfect for the cool fall weather!

When X-Files creator and showrunner Chris Carter first introduced us to Fox Mulder (played by David Duchovny) the character was known for 2 things: His attraction to cases of a potentially supernatural nature and his uncanny profiling abilities. In fact, before Mulder became known as "Spooky" he was a profiler of unusual promise, one who almost seemed able to enter the minds of serial killers. While this aspect of Mulders history hasn't been acknowledged since Season 1, Carter was clearly keen on exploring the profiler concept further. The result was Millennium, a series that felt almost like a companion piece to The X-Files—and for good reason: A crossover episode confirms that the shows take place in the same universe.
In Millennium, horror icon Lance Henriksen plays FBI consultant Frank Black, a profiler with the uncanny ability to see through the eyes of serial killers (sound familiar?).
Official Synopsis: Millennium is an American television series created by Chris Carter (creator of The X-Files), which aired on Fox between 1996 and 1999. The series follows the investigations of ex-FBI agent Frank Black (Lance Henriksen), now a consultant, with the ability to see inside the minds of criminals, working for a mysterious organization known as the Millennium Group.

Despite a tremendous first season, Millennium slipped steadily until it was unexpectedly cancelled after Season 3. The cancellation was obviously unexpected, as the series left many aspects of Frank Black's story unresolved. A somewhat slipshod resolution came in the previously mentioned crossover episode of The X-Files Season 4 titled (appropriately) Millennium. It saw Black somewhat metaphorically riding off into the sunset, a life of potential horrors and wonders ahead of him.
In the decades since its cancellation, Millennium has amassed a sizable cult following. Tattoos of the show's trademark Ouroboros (a snake eating its own tail) are common; in a brilliant yet subtle crossover moment Dana Scully (played by Gillian Anderson) got a Millennium/Ouroboros tattoo in The X-Files Season 4 episode Never Again.
Helmed by filmmakers Jason Morris and Troy Foreman, Millennium after the Millennium is a documentary that explores the enduring legacy of Carter's exquisite failure 20 years after the show's demise. "We wanted to do something as big as possible. This project was a pure concept of love for the show. We wanted to give something to the fans that have supported the show and the campaign for the return of Millennium," says Morris.
Check out a trailer and synopsis for Millennium after the Millennium, being released sometime in 2017, below.
Official Synopsis: Discover the enduring story of Millennium as we take a trip down a path of mystery unraveling how Millennium came to be and why it really ended. Millennium after the Millennium is a new documentary focused on Chris Carter's landmark television series Millennium. Set twenty years after the show ended, we take a look back at what makes Millennium so enduring to fans and critics alike.
The "why it really ended" part certainly sounds intriguing; hopefully, I'll learn a lot when this film comes to fruition. You can follow Millennium after the Millennium on their official website, HERE.

I was a big fan of Millennium and didn't know about this documentary. Really looking forward to this and learning more about the behind the scenes stuff of the series.
May 18, 2017 at 11:47 am
I promise you will love it when you see!
May 18, 2017 at 12:30 am
I still love the show. It was moving and focused on the battle against evil and protecting those we hold dear. The only failing I saw was the abrupt way the show ended. Even the Lone Gunmen were given a proper send-off. Frank Black is a hero to rival any Marvel creation and portrayed by Lance H with depth and empathy. It deserves the following it has.
May 18, 2017 at 11:50 am
Hope is Black. Make sure you watch the doc when we release it…I think you will be happy to find out all the ideas surrounding a MM come back.
May 18, 2017 at 1:11 am
Season 3 was weak. Not bad, mind you, but a shadow of what it had been. Morgan and Wong had done an excellent job expanding the concept of the series the abrupt change in tone had viewers tuning out in droves. The loss of two excellent lead actresses who had remarkable chemistry with the male lead also hurt the show overall. I stopped watching Millennium early on during the 3rd season because it failed to live up to the promise of season 2. When the series was released on dvd I did give it a look and have to say it probably didn't deserve a 4rth season. When it was hot it was white hot. Many classic episodes scattered thru out. It had just run it's course.
May 18, 2017 at 11:48 am
I think there will be a lot of interesting info regarding season 2 and 3 in the doc you will love!
May 18, 2017 at 7:21 am
One of the greatest shows that many aren't aware about. I discovered it on Chiller Network and have since bought the box set.
If you love the show and haven't already— check out the "Back To Frank Black" book. Great look back at the show.
I preordered this DVD and cant't wait for it.
May 18, 2017 at 11:51 am
Thank you so much for the pre-order! You are one of the awesome people that made this possible! The book is fantastic and everyone who is a fan of the show should pick up a copy!
May 18, 2017 at 7:36 pm
Can´t wait to see it. I preordered too! I knwo it´s going to be something real special for all the fans that loved the joy and still want our freaking MOVIE!
May 18, 2017 at 8:49 pm
The first DVD full series run of any TV show I ever bought was the entire series of Millennium. That pretty much sums up my feelings about the show. I wasn't thrilled with the direction the show took in season 2, but all in all it's still one of my favorite series ever. And Frank Black remains one of the most fascinating TV characters of all time.
August 17, 2017 at 10:10 pm
I can't wait. I love this show today, and probably watch through the entire series every couple of years or so. I do hope the movie eventually comes to fruition.

The bike began on the very first pull and runs perfect. Also, make sure it isn't too heavy for you to pick up. My dirt bike sizing chart above provides a great knowledge of the different seat heights for children. Not only is it a dirt bike that was designed to absorb falls, it's so lightweight it is easy to pick this up again. If it comes to picking the perfect sized dirt bike, there are lots of unique factors you must put in the equation.
Now the bike includes a huge quantity of rake and a manageable quantity of path. It is vital to choose a bike that is quite appropriate for your requirements. Don't just receive a dirt bike for cheap when you're able to find a good deal more. A pure dirt bike is the best solution for anybody who's interested in off-road riding.
Try out itlay the bike down and see whether you may figure out how to pick this up all on your own. In order to go for an adequate low-priced mountain bike, you should first and parameters upon which you might choose an outstanding bike. There are 3 good reasons why your very first bike ought to be an inexpensive used bike that satisfies the newbie-friendly criteria listed above. In case you decide a sportbike will be your very first bike, be certain to find some training and the right riding gear. If you're nervous about dropping your very first bike, or you desire a motorcycle that's extremely beginner friendly, then take a look at the TW200. Actually, if you become hooked like us, you are going to want to purchase all types of distinct bikes and experience various kinds of riding. Finally, it truly comes down to whether you need something which resembles a fairly modern mini-enduro bike, or something which looks more like a timeless homemade scrambler.
If you know what kind of bike you want ie. Moreover, always work to get the operator's manual when you buy your bike. Don't fall in the trap of thinking that as soon as you understand how to operate the bike that you understand how to ride, which involves a lot more than simply having the ability to control the machine. At this time you will see an increasing number of enduro bikes running the huge stoppers.
The type of riding you intend to do determines what sort of bike you should buy. Two-stroke bikes require that you mix gas. A used bike may be fantastic and reasonably priced method to ease in the sport. A used bike which has been well taken care of is a superior means to begin, so search for one that isn't any more than five years old (three if you're thinking of a 250F).
You're going to require to actually feel comfy on the bike. Dirt bikes square measure typically tall like dual-sport bikes however there square measure several to select from. Buying the ideal size dirt bike is a significant decision.
A couple of years ago, bikes were pretty simple to compare. Our dirt bikes are always the most recent models and are a few of the very best looking dirt bikes you can get. Electric vs Gasoline Engines There are some rather nice electric dirt bikes available on the market that work well for as many as 30 or more minutes, but for heading out on the trail for a long ride, there's no substitute for a gasoline powered engine, as long as you have a means to refuel.
No matter the situation, make sure to try out lots of motorcycles until you find one which fits well enough. Be certain to define what you are interested in getting the motorcycle for, and allow it to be a guide of what you need to search for. Without further ado, here are nine of the finest electric motorcycles you can purchase at the moment and one that is along the way.
In order to acquire the absolute most out of your motorcycling experience, you must have a motorcycle that is suitable for your height and size. That means you'll probably find out that what you thought you wished to do on a motorcycle isn't precisely what you really need to do, after you've got some miles below your tires. Not everybody can afford a new motorcycle anyway, and once it comes to your very first dirt bike, you may want to go second-handand re-invest the money which you saved on a brand new piston and a brand new set of rings! Even the perfect electrical motorcycles on this market without delay are not excellent.
If you want to bring a little quantity of weight to supply a tiny bit of drag, you're ready to again just make certain it is not over a few pounds. So there's no standardized way to check the dry weight of a motorcycle. There's no worldwide standardized means to check the wet weight of a motorcycle.

Resveratrol is the first natural medicinal with a solid body of scientific evidence demonstrating its ability to block and/or prevent classical cancer stage progression.
Resveratrol is classified as a polyphenol due of its chemical structure. Polyphenols comprise a large group of plant compounds that are further broken down into other classifications such as flavonoids, proanthocyanidins, and the like.
In the early 90's, following an airing of a CBS 60 Minutes investigative segment that gave rise to the now-popular notion of the "French paradox" (describing the counter intuitive notion that a French diet regularly featuring cheese, chocolate, and wine could be associated with improved cardiovascular health), researchers realized that the Resveratrol content of red wine might be the 'secret ingredient' behind the healthy heart effects attributed to both the traditional French diet, as well as the traditional Asian heart medicines containing Polygonnum.
Resveratrol has since been identified as an inhibitor of cancer cell growth in cultures and in some animals, and research findings such as those summarized below consistently suggest probable effects of Resveratrol in humans will continue to add to its cancer fighting reputation:
"… reveals marked antioxidant activity"
"…shows great promise for preventing cardiovascular disease"
"…is a remarkable inhibitor"
"…has a chemotherapeutic effect, i.e. little or no toxic effects in healthy cells"
"…demonstrates high efficacy against multiple sites"
The body of research investigating Resveratrol continues to expand rapidly with the number of studies increasing by an order of magnitude in the past three years, with the depth of knowledge about the Polyphenol Resveratrol increasing with each report. The diverse range of findings suggest Resveratrol will one day be widely regarded as one of the most useful agents ever discovered for treating a wide range of human health problems.
Resveratrol is an effective treatment agent for range of cancers, both at the preventive and treatment stages. Its ability to stop cancer is connected to its capability to distinguish a cancer cell from a normal cell. Unlike chemotherapeutic drugs that affect normal cells in addition to cancer cells, Resveratrol does not damage healthy cells. Not only is Resveratrol not harmful to normal cells, Resveratrol protects healthy cells. Resveratrol is also sophisticated in its actions. It doesn't just scavenge free radicals, it activates and deactivates critical enzymes and genes, hormones and chemicals.
Resveratrol supplementation resulted in the inhibition of the growth of breast cancer cells, as well as blocked the growth-promoting effects of linoleic acid from the Western diet.
Resveratrol is not only applied as a cancer preventative, it is also employed as treatment for certain types of cancer. Resveratrol is a broad-spectrum agent that halts the progress of cancer in diverse ways, from blocking estrogen and androgens to modulating genes. Some of the latest research demonstrates that Resveratrol causes a unique type of cell death, destroying cancer cells regardless of the presence of the tumor suppressor gene.
Resveratrol is also effective at cancer cell destruction regardless of whether the target cancer cells are estrogen receptor-positive or negative.
In addition, researchers are now beginning to understand the ability of Resveratrol supplements to augment other chemotherapies. For example, researchers at the University of Notre Dame have shown that Resveratrol increases the effects of vitamin D, a form of which (vitamin D3) converts to a steroid that inhibits the growth of cancer cells.

'Sickening' petrol bomb attack at home of vulnerable young man
The home of a vulnerable young man has been targeted in a "sickening" petrol bomb attack in Banbridge, County Down.
It happened in the Hillview Terrace area in Banbridge at around 5.30am on Sunday morning.
Officers said the young man, who is described as having severe learning difficulties, awoke to the sound of his upstairs window smashing, as he lay in bed.
In a social media post the PSNI said this was "immediately followed by a petrol bomb, thrown at the hole in the now broken window".
However officers said the petrol bomb did not enter the house but set alight to the window and the window sill below.
A passing taxi driver raised the alarm and the PSNI and Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service were on scene quickly.
PSNI officers said: "Whoever carried out this horrific attempt on an innocent life should have no where to hide. If they had been slightly more accurate with their second throw, literally inches to one side, we could be dealing with a murder scene this morning. Help us find them.
"We have been told a small dark car was seen making off from the area. Do you live locally? Did you see or hear this happen and see anything either immediately before or after that could be of use?
"Are you a taxi driver or were you driving in the area around that time and have dash cam footage? If so, please check it immediately before it wipes over, and contact Detective H on 101 with anything, no matter how small, that may be of use.
"The incident number is 354 of 18/02/2018. You can always speak to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
DUP MLA Carla Lockhart said the young man is "known and loved" throughout the area.
She said: "I would utterly condemn what has happened in Hillview Terrace, Dromore Street, Banbridge. My thoughts are with the young man who awoke to the shock of this petrol bomb attack on his property. There is no doubt that those who engaged in this activity wanted to cause serious damage and could have caused severe injury or death.
"I would like to thank the PSNI and the local community who have rallied around this well known family. The young man was a vulnerable young adult with learning difficulties and someone who is known and loved throughout the area.
"It is vital that anyone with any information comes forward and reports it to the PSNI. It is important that closure is brought to this case and the real rationale and reason for this attack is established.
"Police have confirmed to me that there is no known reason why this man would be targeted and they have commented publicly that this could well be a prime example of why vigilante action and indeed gang land feuding is so dangerous to the wider, innocent public.
"This morning we could be dealing with a murder scene and therefore those responsible should face the full force of the law."
Sinn Fein MLA John O'Dowd condemned the attack.
He said: "This attack on a vulnerable young man has to be condemned.
"The perpetrators could have killed this young man and others.
"I would appeal to anyone with information to bring it forward to the PSNI immediately."

One of the continuing side stories to this GOP primary has been how little media attention Ron Paul gets vs how consistently strong his poll numbers are.
Jon Stewart did a great bit on this in August. And Politico's Mike Allen mentioned it in his recent ebook where described Paul's sad reaction when after his second place finish in the Iowa Straw Poll not a single member of the media could be bothered to talk to him.
But Fox News, which rarely gives Paul a mention on-air, appears to have taken it a step further.
Fox is hosting tonight's GOP debate in Iowa, the last before January's caucus, and based on this statement from Chris Wallace it sounds like Ron Paul, who is almost tied for the lead in Iowa with Gingrich, may not get a lot of airtime.
Here's Wallace, one of tonight's moderators, on Your World with Neil Cavuto last night.
"Well, and the Ron Paul people aren't going to like me saying this, but, to a certain degree, it will discredit the Iowa caucuses because, rightly or wrongly, I think most of the Republican establishment thinks he is not going to end up as the nominee. So, therefore, Iowa won't count and it will go on."
Far be it from voters to buck the wishes of the Republican establishment (of which Fox News is arguably the most active member).
It's worth noting this would not be the first time Fox has reportedly attempted to sway the primary with their attention (or in this case, lack thereof). In a profile in the Daily Beast about how Roger Ailes had successfully turned the GOP debates into a well-orchestrated reality show, Howie Kurtz reported that moderators were encouraged by debate producers to focus on Rick Perry during the debate, doing serious damage to his campaign (before, that is, Perry shouldered the burden and did serious, sustained damage against himself).

Summit Lake and Its Watercourse Plan - BOA Step 2. Nomination
Working Groups - meet to revise Community Participation Plan
We are pleased to announce the release of the Summit Lake and Its Watercourse BOA Step II Nomination. This study invites the community to rethink the opportunities for redevelopment within the context of the ongoing revitalization of the village, and the potential re-use of vacant mills, restoration of Summit Lake, the downtown gateway, public parks and re-purposing of land owned by the village.
A full color printed copy of the BOA Step 2 study is available at the Village Office and on the Village web site. To download click here for the BOA study and here for the Appendices.
PBI would like to thank the Steering Committee consisting of residents, business owners, Village Trustees, and the Columbia Land Conservancy who contributed their oversight of the BOA Step 2 Nomination planning process, and many hours of volunteer time which additionally provided the vital 10% community match to the Brownfield Opportunity Areas grant awarded by the NYS Department of State Office of Planning and Development.
Watch this space for annoucements of events and community outreach invitations to join working groups being assembled to implement the vision, goals and objectives of the Summit Lake and Its Watercourse study.
This next step will be carried out by the Village of Philmont in partnership with PBI continuing as Project Manager as a Step 3 BOA process. It is aimed at the redevelopment of 17 strategic sites selected by the community, including Summit Lake, the lake waterfront, the lakeshore Community Center & park, the Canal Street Mill and parking lots, the entry of the Harlem Valley Rail Trial, and vacant buildings located on Main Street identified in the study as neighborhood catalyst sites.
Please contact us if you would like more information, have an interest in a vacant property, are a commercial real estate developer, or would like to join one of the working groups. Send PBI an email at firstname.lastname@example.com
"Conserving Our Past to Revitalize Our Future"
March 20, 2012: The Village of Philmont was included in an announcement made by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo of $3.45 million in grants through the "Brownfield Opportunity Areas" (BOA) program for 15 communities throughout the state. The grants will help create jobs, support environmental remediation, revitalize communities, and expand the tax base in distressed neighborhoods that have been adversely affected by brownfield sites. If Philmont is of interest to you click here to see "What is a BOA and how will it impact me?"
Brownfields are dormant properties where contamination has impeded redevelopment, turning the properties into economic and environmental drains on localities. The BOA grants support programs aimed at redeveloping brownfields.
"Turning brownfields into vibrant sites that attract investment and create jobs is another step in our mission to rebuild the economy of New York State," Governor Cuomo said. "These grants will revitalize communities throughout the state, provide opportunities for crucial economic development, and allow businesses and neighborhoods to thrive once more. As these individual communities are restored, New York State as a whole will prosper." Read more

Summit Lake is protected as a class B waterbody with federally protected wetlands at the top of the lake.
What is the Village of Philmont BOA project and how will it impact me?
The Village of Philmont intends to complete a Nomination Strategy for an area with two potential brownfield sites that are located within the Summit Reservoir Revitalization Area. The area includes the Summit Reservoir, a 21 acre, publicly owned body of water, a critical public amenity, and as such a center catalyst for the area as a natural resource.
The primary community revitalization objectives to be achieved by this project include, among other objectives:
1. Creating a sustainable community in Philmont and the Summit Reservoir Area to minimize immediate and long-term impacts on the environment. This community has the potential to harness micro-hydro to decrease the ecological footprint through sustainable energy sources.
2. Creating a community based informed revitalization blue print for the area to include a thorough and in-depth analysis of existing conditions in the area.
3. Producing an economic trend s analysis that recognizes current trends in Philmont, such as, local farming, farm based education, alternative health care and practitioners, and the resurgence of fine craft based trade enterprises.
4. Produce a plan for the reuse potential for properties located in the area with an emphasis on the identification and reuse potential of strategic brownfield sites as catalysts for revitalization.
Anticipated community benefits resulting from this project include creating a plan for a livable neighborhood. This will assist with the attraction of future investments aimed at new uses such as housing stock restoration, retail, commercial and public amenities, such as, the restoration of Summit Reservoir and lake-side parks to improve the quality of life and economic development for the community.

SMG on being a neighbour to schools (2.5 min)
Communities supporting Communities
The local church has the open opportunity to support staff, students and their families at their local schools through a Chaplaincy service.
Schools want to keep this valued program long into the future.
SMG works together with combined church groups across SA who are representative of local churches, to provide support and resource to them, as they endeavour to support young people and their local school communities.
These 'Support Groups' work on behalf of the local Christian Community to support their local schools, they may be a local Interchurch Council, Ministers Fraternal, or a group which has formed for this specific purpose.
Support Groups have developed strong, respectful relationships with schools in their local area, and provide opportunities for local churches to work in partnership with local schools to bring purpose hope and value to a young generation.
What can the Combined Church Support Group do for you and your church community?
Keep you updated with resources and info from SMG
Keep you connected with and informed about Chaplaincy Services in your area
Include your church in the positive representation of local Christian Community to local schools
To find out about the 'Support Group' in your local area please contact SMG.
How to support your Pastoral Care Worker (PCW)
Get to know your PCW, they are in the local schools on behalf of your church… the more support they receive, the more effective their role can be!!
Connecting with the PCW in the local schools, gives you an opportunity to develop relationships with and support the entire school community.
For ideas of specific ways to support your local PCWs please contact SMG.
How to support your local school
Schools love to have support from people and organisations in their local community.
If there is a PCW in your local school, you already have a way to connect with, offer support and minister to local families.
If there is not a PCW in your local school, there are still ways you can provide support.
For ideas of specific ways to support your local school please contact SMG.
