The U.S. political landscape has emboldened liberals to label traditional and conservative views as far out of the American mainstream, particularly on the subject of gay marriage. However, Richard Ritenbaugh provides examples of recent scientific studies . . .
Jesus says the end times will be like the days of Lot in Sodom, meaning that rampant homosexuality is a sign of the end. Earl Henn analyzes this growing, worldwide trend.
The Bible contains several reasons why the practice of homosexuality in any form is unlawful and wrong. Simply put, it is sin, and sin is the breaking of God's law.
The LGBT movement has experienced a banner year. It has dominated the major headlines with the legalization of same-sex "marriage" and the widespread praise of Bruce Jenner's courage in "coming out" as a transgender person. Joseph Baity chronicles the path. . .
The 1990s has seen the rise of militant homosexuality and government sponsorship of the gay agenda. What are God's views on the subject? What does this mean for America?
And [God] called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer's inkhorn at his side; and the LORD said to him, "Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the . . .
John Ritenbaugh reiterates the hideous findings of the Atlantic Monthly that 'gay is the new normal' and 'same sex marriage is now acceptable.' Modern Israel has attained equivalency with Sodom and Gomorrah. The television program Pretty Little Liars glori. . .

Moral legislation over the years has steadily eroded because antinomian liberal leaders, claiming that morality cannot be legislated, have rejected biblical standards of morality in favor of personal choice or private morality. Ironically, they, like many . . .
The Seventh Commandment—prohibiting adultery—covers the subject of faithfulness. Unfaithfulness devastates many aspects of family and society life.
To be deviant is to be abnormal. But that is not deterring the gay community from its logic-defying campaign to convince us that deviant behavior is normal.
John Ritenbaugh, continuing his commentary entitled "A Government to Fear," reiterates that the secular-progressives have had great success demanding that the civil courts rebuke people acting on matters of conscience, while at the same time they. . .
Homosexuality is not a lifestyle, but a sin directly against God, flouting God's creation of male and female, and perverting the natural use of the human body.
John Ritenbaugh, reminding us that, although previously co-habiting, homosexual, lesbian, and same-sex marriage relationships were viewed with repulsion by society, political correctness has coerced society to look upon these decrepit liaisons as normal. T. . .
The apostle John warns us to be vigilant about the world, not loving its attitudes, mindsets, and frame of mind. We cannot both love the world and love God.
The world's political, religious, economic, and cultural systems pose a danger to God's people, but God wants us to work out His plan within the Babylonian system.
In Amos' prophecy, faithlessness and sexual immorality loom large, like a a prostitute chasing after lovers. Faithlessness extends into not keeping one's word.

Concept One in hands-on: Oneplus makes the cameras disappear
On the occasion of the sixth birthday, Oneplus presented its first concept smartphone: The Oneplus Concept One will never come on the market, the technology used in it will – at some point.
A few days after the first teaser of the Concept One, Oneplus launched its first concept- Smartphone revealed in the course of the CES 2020. Contrary to initial speculation, this is not a foldable, but a classic smartphone with high-end technology from the Oneplus 7T (test) and leather back in Mclaren orange, where the main camera can be hidden.
Oneplus Concept One: Electrochromic glass makes the main camera disappear
Oneplus Concept One: Equipped like a Oneplus 7T with leather and electrochromic glass cover. (Photo: t3n)
As already indicated in the teaser, the main camera on the back is embedded in the housing on the one hand, on the other hand hidden behind an electrochromic glass that switches between transparent and opaque when electrical voltage is applied. The glass changes from opaque to transparent within 0.7 seconds so that the camera can be used at lightning speed when activated. According to Oneplus, the electrochromic glass is 0, 35 millimeters roughly as thin as a conventional screen protector.
The technology is not new and is used, for example, in the window panes of buildings or the windows of Boeing 787 used for a long time. But this technology is also used for the McLaren 720 , Oneplus has taken over the technology from the car manufacturer with which the Chinese company has been working for some time.
Electrochromic glass has two glass layers and two further conductive layers in between – in the middle of this arrangement is the actual electrochromic layer. Applying a DC voltage changes the opacity.
According to Oneplus, the use has an aesthetic background. Because the trend towards three and more camera sensors on the back would also make smartphones more unsightly. With the help of the electrochromic glass, the cameras could be concealed, so that the manufacturer can regain more control over the design, according to Oneplus.
In addition, it is theoretically possible to influence the color of the glass with different voltages, according to the manufacturer. In this way it would be conceivable to give smartphones their own touch. However, this function is not part of the Concept One.
Oneplus Concept One: Electrochromic glass more than just a design element
According to the manufacturer, the glass layer does not only offer an aesthetic aspect. With the help of the electrochromic glass, a neutral density filter (ND filter) can be activated in the Pro mode of the camera app, which should help to take photos even in bright light or long-term shots in daylight. In cameras, ND filters are attached to a lens – with the Oneplus Concept One, the glass layer would only be set to semi-transparent, according to Oneplus. Since the presentation of the smartphone was held in a conference room, the effect could not be tried in daylight.
Oneplus is continuing to work on this technology to one day integrate it into smartphones. However, the manufacturer could not give a specific period when it could be so far. It will probably be nothing this year.

Trip Overview
This is a small lake in the Witchita Mountains Wildlife Refuge west of Lawton, OK. It took me about 4 hours to paddle around the entire shoreline of this lake.
There are a lot of inlets, and to not go in them, would waste the experience of escaping Oklahoma, inside itself. The inlets are just gorgeous! They made the hour and a half drive from Oklahoma City worth-while.
There were a lot of turtles to see, Great Egrets, Great Blue Herons, and Canadian Geese. This lake is at the base of Mt. Scott, so you can get some beautiful pictures of the mountain coming back to the launch site. There's a few bass boats on the lake, but it's very quiet. You'll be the only one in the inlets: other boats can't get in them!
adequate amount of parking, good ramp to launch from.
Take I-44 to OK 49. It's about 6 miles west on 49 before you'll see the lake. Lake Latonka is the big one, and Elmer Thomas the smaller of the two lakes. There is a small launch site on the left side of the road.

Trump names McMaster new national security adviser
Pence says NATO defense costs must be 'shared fairly' by Europe – and warns that America's patience 'will not endure forever'
- Said European nations need to speed up plans to contribute two percent of their gross national income to NATO
- With NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in Brussels, Pence reiterated the Trump administration's position that NATO costs are not shared fairly
- The U.S. leader declined to make new threats to nations that don't pay up, but he warned, 'The patience of the American people will not endure'
- Capping the European trip aimed at allaying fears, Pence said Washington's backing for the EU remained 'steadfast and enduring
- Pence said the United States would remain 'full partners' with the EU in fighting terrorism – a Trump priority
Vice President Mike Pence says European nations need to speed up plans to contribute two percent of their gross national income to NATO and encourage other member nations to do the same.
At a news conference with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on Monday in Brussels, Pence reiterated the Trump administration's position 'that for too long, for too many' the burden of paying for NATO has 'not been shared fairly among our NATO allies.
'That must come to an end,' the vice president said.
The U.S. leader declined to make new threats to nations that don't pay up, but he warned, 'The patience of the American people will not endure.'
Gallup poll: Greece would choose Russia as ally over NATO
According to a multi-nation Gallup poll published, Greece and three other NATO member-states would prefer Russia fighting on their side! By far the largest number of countries polled by WIN/Gallup International chose the U.S. for their go-to defense partner, suggesting that it remains the world's only military power with truly global reach and alliances, but Greece, Bulgaria, Slovenia and Turkey, all members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation chose Russia as their fighting partner. Another interesting finding showed that Russia and China would pick each other as allies in the event of military conflict.
The findings revealed how the geopolitical security concerns had shifted, with Greece and Bulgaria seeing Turkey, a partner of both in NATO, as the number one threat for their security. Although Turkey is also a NATO member and so theoretically an ally, its invasion and occupation of Northern Cyprus in 1974 showed that these countries cannot rely on NATO to protect them, so they look to Russia. The Gallup poll also broadly reflects a divide between the Orthodox Christian world and Western Christianity, with Orthodox Greece and Bulgaria opting for Russia, while Ukraine and Bosnia Herzegovina — which are also religiously divided — split down the middle.

U.S. Air Force deploys WC-135 nuclear sniffer aircraft to UK as spike of radioactive Iodine levels is detected in Europe
The USAF WC-135C Constant Phoenix might be investigating a spike in radioactive levels in Norway. Someone speculates the release of this radionuclide could be the effect of a Russian nuclear test.
On Feb. 17, 2017, U.S. Air Force WC-135C Constant Phoenix Nuclear explosion "sniffer," serial number 62-3582, using radio callsign "Cobra 55" deployed to RAF Mildenhall, UK.
As we have already reported the WC-135 is a derivative of the Boeing C-135 transport and support plane. Two of these aircraft are in service today out of the ten examples operated since 1963. The aircraft are flown by flight crews from the 45th Reconnaissance Squadron from Offutt Air Force Base while mission crews are staffed by Detachment 1 from the Air Force Technical Applications Center.
The WC-135, known as the "sniffer" or "weather bird" by its crews, can carry up to 33 personnel. However, crew compliments are kept to a minimum during mission flights in order to lessen levels of radioactive exposure.
Effluent gasses are gathered by two scoops on the sides of the fuselage, which in turn trap fallout particles on filters. The mission crews have the ability to analyze the fallout residue in real-time, helping to confirm the presence of nuclear fallout and possibly determine the characteristics of the warhead involved: that's why the aircraft is important to confirm the type of explosion of today's test.
Russian MIG corporation plans to sell MIG-35 fighter jets to Middle East
Armata T-15 and Kurganets-25 IFVs Will Get 'Smart Ammunition' Starting Next Year
Speaking to RIA Novosti on the sidelines of the IDEX-2017 defense exhibition in the UAE on Monday, Tekhmash director Sergei Rusakov said that smart ammunition for the T-15 heavy IFV, and the Armata platform-based Kurganets-25 IFV, will be delivered in 2018, the same year that mass production of the T-14 main battle tank is expected to begin.
Tekhmash is now engaged in preparatory work on the integration of the smart munitions technology into heavy armored vehicles, Rusakov explained, and is doing so with the help of JSC Pribor, a Moscow-headquartered defense concern engaged in the production of automatic guns, ammunition and other military products. "Given the significant amount of work involved in the preparation and carrying out of state tests, adopting these munitions may not occur before 2018," the official said.
Global arms trade reaches highest point since cold war era
Middle East almost doubles weapons imports, as US and Europe remain the main suppliers and China joins top-tier exporters
Saeed Kamali Dehghan Iran correspondent
The global transfer of major weapons systems rose over the past five years to the highest volume since the end of the cold war as the Middle East nearly doubled its imports, according to an annual report on arms sales.
The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (Sipri) said on Monday that more weapons were delivered between 2012 and 2016 than any other five-year period since 1990. Saudi Arabia, which leads a military intervention in Yementhat has cost hundreds of civilian lives, was the world's second largest importer after India, increasing its intake by 212%, mainly from the US and the UK.
Asia was the main recipient region in the world as India dwarfed regional rivals, China and Pakistan, by accounting for 13% of the global imports. While India received most of its arms from Russia, the Saudis relied heavily on US arms. US and Russia together supplied more than half of all exports. China, France and Germany were also among the top five exporters.
Rockets fired into southern Israel from Egypt's Sinai
No casualties as two handmade rockets land in Eshkol region day after Isis claims four members were killed by Israeli drone
Peter Beaumont in Jerusalem
Two rockets, apparently fired by Islamic militants in Egypt's northern Sinai, have landed in southern Israel. The attack came a day after an Isis affiliate claimed that several of its members had been killed by an Israeli drone.
The incident is the second within the space of a month after four missiles were fired towards the Israeli Red Sea city of Eilat, suggesting an increase in tensions on Israel's southern border.

Arab Israeli charged with planning TA bus bombing, teaching IS how to make nerve gas
Anas Haj Yihya allegedly intended to blow up bus full of soldiers on Dizengoff Street on behalf of Islamic State
An Arab Israeli man was charged with planning terror attacks on behalf of the Islamic State group, including bus bombings directed against IDF soldiers, according to an indictment filed against him on Monday. He also allegedly distribute information to IS members on how to create a deadly nerve gas.
The suspect, Anas Haj Yihya, was charged in a Tel Aviv court with belonging to a terrorist organization and with multiple counts of contact with a foreign agent.
In May, one of Yihya's Islamic State contacts, Muhammad Abdel Rawi, told him to carry out attacks against soldiers, including blowing up a bus filled with soldiers on central Tel Aviv's Dizengoff Street, which he agreed to, according to the charge sheet.
Three months later, Yihya apparently attempted to create an explosive device, asking a gardener to get him fertilizer, but his request was denied, according to the indictment.
Yihya also allegedly used the Telegram messaging application to distribute information to IS members on how to create sarin gas, a deadly nerve agent, how to manufacture explosive belts and bombs with cellphone triggers, and which poisons can be added to explosives in order to make them more lethal.

Russia rejects claim of Montenegro plot
Russia has denounced as absurd and unsubstantiated allegations that "Russian state bodies" were involved in an attempted coup in the Balkan state of Montenegro.
The alleged plot dates back to a series of arrests hours before Montenegro's elections in October 2016.
At the time, Serb paramilitaries and Russian nationalists were blamed.
But prosecutor Milivoje Katnic has now named a Russian military figure as behind the alleged mission.
He said a Serb nationalist figure had been invited to Moscow by Eduard Sismakov, a former deputy military attache to Poland, with the aim of preventing Montenegro from joining Nato.
The alleged plotters are said to have planned to assassinate Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic.

'President Erdogan assassination plot' trial opens in TurkeyText
by FRANCE 24
A trial of almost 50 suspects accused of plotting to assassinate Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan during the botched July 15 coup opened Monday in southern Turkey.
Forty-four suspects — mainly soldiers — face possible life sentences on charges that include attempted assassination, overthrow of the constitutional order and other crimes against the state during the 2016 coup attempt.
"Most of them are soldiers up to the rank of brigadier general, three of them are still at large, including the number one accused, Fethullah Gulen, the Islamic cleric who lives in Pennsylvania and who is alleged to be the mastermind of the July 15 coup attempt," explained FRANCE 24's Jasper Mortimer, reporting from the southwestern Turkish city of Mugla.

Pores have pretty much inspired their own genre of skin care. Whether it's blurring their surface with air-brush-like formulas or unclogging them of the dirt and grime, thus ridding them of their blackhead status, they get a lot of TLC. There's a couple reasons behind the product market for pores—and some of them have to do with keeping your complexion clear. For once, tightening up your pores could make them less likely to get clogged up, which worst case scenario, could potentially lead to infection. A lot of the times, pores appear larger because they've stretched out due to what's trapped inside of them. The other product movement is more makeup motivated, blurring their surface so you get an airbrushed look.
Looking to minimize the appearance on your own? Take a look at some of the specifically skin care-targeted products below that work to tighten up or just make those pores a lot less noticeable.

Combining anti-aging solutions and pore addressing qualities into one product, Kiehl's crafted a serum that, over time, is said to lift skin and tighten skin, thus tightening the size of your pores and making them less noticeable. To aid in the restoration of elasticity in the skin, the brand included a key ingredient of micro-filtered yeast extract, which holds antioxidants and is known for helping in cellular renewal processes.

Another double-duty skin care product, The Body Shop's Pore Perfector has a call-out ingredient of seaweed that's known to even out and calm skin tone—more importantly the blend includes astringents that's meant to constrict and tighten up your pores, making them less visible to your eye. Would you give it a shot?

Charcoal can do some wonders for your pores and skin overall. The ingredient is known to remove excess oil, and this sheet mask is enriched with it for the very purpose of detoxifying your skin.

On clean skin, apply the mask for about 15 minutes but don't rinse off the excess formula when you're done. That's meant to be lightly massaged into your skin to reap the full benefits. If this is anything like Dr. Jart+'s other masks, it'll be worth the investigation.

It's recommended to be used about two to three times a week.

The revolution will not be televised
Robert X. Cringely identifies one of the problems of Americas slowly shrinking relevance in tech as somewhat of a numbers problem (if China has more people and the distribution of geniuses is uniform, they'll have, in absolute numbers, more geniuses) and one way of fighting this imbalance would be to increase the yield by better identifying and nurturing said geniuses than other countries. He writes:
What this means in the technical and ultimately economic competition among nations is that a few very smart people can make the difference. We are mistaken to some extent, then, when we worry about average test scores and average performance. Sure these things are important, but they aren't the key to future industries and breakthroughs, since those will be made pretty much entirely by a very small number of quite non-average people.
Finding and nurturing those non-average folks, then, is not only a function vital to continued American success as a world power, it is also a heck of a lot easier to do than jacking-up everyone's SAT scores by 50 points.
His proposed way of doing this is through a competition he dubbed Geek Idol:
America and the world are mad for talent competitions so I think we should have one for finding the best people to become computer scientists and engineers. Let's start a discussion right here of what such a competition would look like, what it would measure, and how it would work.
I think it wouldn't work at all.
The geniuses, the geeks and nerds that get so obsessed with an idea, a topic or a field of knowledge, be it the inner workings of a light saber or advanced caching algorithms or how to scale a social network to be able to serve almost every human being on the continent, which is the kind of obsession you need to change the world, are not the kind of people who would subject themselves to the public humiliation that is televised (or otherwise broadcast) competitions. Cringely's says himself:
Remember this will only scale properly if we also make it entertaining. It has to be fun or it won't happen.
The reason why these talent shows are so popular is, I believe, two-fold. One part is certainly the sense of awe and respect the you feel, when you see a mobile phone salesman performing opera, or a Korean homeless child singing like an angel, completely self trained. It gives you the feeling that you, everyday Jill or Joe, could achieve something similar. It's the embodiment of the American dream: everyone has a chance to greatness, you just have to go and do it!
There is another aspect to this spectacle though, and its the same mechanism as the talk shows of the 90s and the scripted reality shows of the early 2000s. It's watching all the other candidates, who don't make it. The ones who show up obviously, and horribly unprepared; the ones that are so full of themselves and yet lack any talent[^1]. It is the public display of embarrassment that makes these shows interesting and funny. The ridicule.
"Neither E=mc2 nor Paradise Lost was dashed off by a party animal"
… says Winifred Galagher, quoted in Susan Cain's book "Quiet" in which she makes the case that a surprising amount of the greatest thinkers and innovators were exactly not the kind of people who would participate in such a public spectacle.
Or maybe you like to eat alone in restaurants and could do without the pitying looks from fellow diners. Or you're told that you're "in your head too much," a phrase that's often deployed against the quiet and cerebral.
Of course, there's another word for such people: thinkers.
The nerds and geeks that will shape and change the world are not going to be drawn out to the public by entertaining game shows — they might even not be interested in any kind of private contest, because this kind of recognition means nothing to them. They know very well that society does not understand and therefore not appreciate what they are doing and their peers will only judge them by their real life achievements.
Linus Torvald's public TV appearances are far in between, and Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were not exactly media attention whores themselves. In how many mainstream publications has Matz, the creator of the Ruby programming language, even been mentioned? Nerds recognise street cred far more than public exposure, because they all are introverts who shy away from awkward publicity events.
Instead, the only kind of people these competitions would attract, I predict, are the kind of people that are responsible for the term Brogrammers. The kinds of people who bathe in the glamour of a TechCrunch article about their startup that they sell for millions, only to see it "being sunset" after half a year, without having provided anything of lasting value. The kinds of people who found companies with the sole purpose of exiting after a year or two with a fat profit. While this certainly still seems to work for them (though if hacker news is any indicator, the sentiment seems to be shifting) and blesses them with riches, they are a fad. They provide no lasting value.
And finding the people who do change the world for the better was the whole point of the exercise in the first place, wasn't it?
[^1]: Justin Kruger and David Dunning won a Nobel prize for their publication Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments. This is thus known as the Dunning-Kruger effect. American Idol (etc.) are masters of exploiting this effect for the entertainment of others.

Q: I am writing for advice about a brain tumor. My daughter, 14, was diagnosed two weeks ago with a grade II brain tumor (fibrillary astrocytoma). A neurosurgeon placed a "shunt" in her head a week ago. Speaking with a number of physicians in Atlanta that specialize in pediatric neurology, it seems our options are limited, and we've been directed to St. Jude's Children's Hospital in Memphis, TN, for a 6 week treatment of radiation and chemotherapy (tarceva). We know there are risks, but we seem to have no other choice in the conventional medicine arena. Here are my questions. What holistic approach could we take? The tumor is the size of an orange and is growing around her brain like a vine on a bush. It is also bithalamic, that is, covering both her left and right thalamus. She is an honor student, but we are seeing signs of some erosion i.e. she takes frequent naps, does not seem to know when to take herself to the restroom, and is running fevers. The doctors have her on steroids to help with the swelling of her three recent operations as well as something else. My preference is to try to the holistic approach first, but we don't have a lot of time. What are the time-frames associated with your treatment? I know something of this nature will take some time to take effect. I should mention that the prognosis is not very promising.
Don't worry about time, just take a natural course. Chemo and radiation will do the poor child in. This would poison her. But this is you guy's choice here! I would give the child BRAIN TUNER TEA daily (2 cups daily) and DETOX TEA nightly. Stop feeding the tumor by giving the child bad food, i.e. meat, eggs, dairy products, refined grains and starches, etc.

Q: Due to what I did with women in previous experiences, from time to time I tend to think, and worry about what my woman might do. She's a wonderful lady-she really is; and she's been upfront, and honest from the get go. But, I can get a little pessimistic about the relationship. But, I do that because I know how slick women can be. I've been on the receiving end of that slickness! So again, from time to time, that creeps up in my thoughts. And yes, I have been absolutely committed to her as well.
What you focus on with emotion is what you attract according to the law of attraction. If you continue to give these negative thoughts, your focus you will manifest this outcome. You have to consciously change this pattern to get out of your loop. When you feellike consciously, remind yourself of what you DO want. Allow yourself to create what you really want, which is to feel calm and in love with your amazin woman.

Q: Thank you for the cancer info...It is welcome and beyond informative, however, I take issue with your remark that "women would be wise to just accept the fact that they are female by nature and God made them to have (deliver) babies and they should stop trying to compete with and be like men." Part of me is not surprised--men make comments like this all the time. I chalk it up to ignorance, as men enjoy living their entire lives not having to endure periods, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and lord knows what else. So because a woman does not want to have children--at all, or at a particular time in her life--she wants to be a man?! That's an illogical conclusion you are making. So why are there pregnant women with cancer, some of which who have never taken BC pills? Are women entitled to making any sort of control over their reproductive health? What about women who are infertile, naturally? If they develop cancer, is it because they never gave birth to a child? Are you willing to support all of the children that will result from women not being on Birth Control, since many people cannot afford several children on their incomes? This line of reasoning makes some women think that men really need to get over themselves. I think you have been reading too much Freud. Some women, present company included, appreciate our femininity and everything that encompasses being a woman. At the same time, this is not the dark ages--and even then, women chose not to have children during different times in their lives. Surely you are aware that in non-Western countries women utilize natural herbs to control their reproduction or as abortifacients? I am not advocating abortion; my point is that if you are going to criticize women taking BC pills, you may as well extend this criticism to women naturally preventing pregnancy via alternative means.
Birth control pills play a big role in female reproductive cancers. Women would be wise to just accept the fact that they are female by nature and God made them to have (deliver) babies and they should stop trying to compete with and be like men. In attempting to stop or prevent life (birth control), they are ending up losing their very own lives. And the birth control pills cause cancer in areas of the body that denote femininity (breasts, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, uterus and vagina). This is a form of language here. You have disease and female organ(s) which basically means your disease is specifically related to an issue of femaleness or femininity, that's why the disease manifests in these "female" organs. In attempting to be like and compete with males, females compromise their feminine integrity and goddess nature which "eats them up" (anger, frustration, sadness, etc.) inside. When the cancer appears in any female organ, it serves as a sign or sensor that the problem lies on a deeper metaphysical level pertaining to emotions, thoughts and attitude."

Q: Could you tell me if the herb kota gola is safe to take. I was told that a lot of it comes from India, and that there may be a lot of toxins in it because of the way it is grown and harvested. Do you know if it is grown in the United States and what supplement companies are selling it? ex: Swanson or Puritan's Pride, etc. brand names.
Gotu Kola is very safe to take and one of the best herbs you could ever take. It's the best herb for the brain and brain function. India doesn't have the toxins like the United States does. There's nothing to worry about! Take it from me!

Q: I am very interested in Dherbs herbal formulas - they appear to be high quality, good formulas. I have a question for you. I eat a vegan diet, about 50% raw foods (sometimes more), get regular exercise, and love to spend time in nature. I am a generally healthy person who rarely gets sick. I have healed myself from asthma and allergies and other ailments by living a healthy lifestyle and using herbs and energy work. However, I do still suffer from cramping during my period (probably endometriosis) and from cervical dysphasia due to HPV. I would love to get these cleared up, too! What do you recommend in terms of your herbal formulas? For example, should I do the whole body detox first, then start in with the ailment specific recommendations, or start everything all at once? Any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciate.
We would recommend that you first start out with the Full Body Cleanse, followed by the Anti-Viral Kit, followed by the Female Cleanse. These should help you to clear up those unwanted reproductive ailments and provide essential nutrients for female health.
After this series of cleansing, we also recommend the the following supplements in order to to stay on the path towards whole body wellness.
Menstrual Cycle Formula
Female Hormonal Formula
Female Health Tea
Anti-Viral Formula

Q: How are you. I ran into your page on Youtube and subsequently did some research. Very Knowledgeable you are. I have problems with weight, stress, and erectile dysfunction. I work nights if I were to order your Full Body Detox does it need to be conducted in a different manner than someone who works at nights?
Basically, you would just reverse the times you take the formulas. Instead of starting at 7 a.m., you'd start at 7 p.m. (or whenever you start your day or night). Just flip flop the time schedule. Plenty of people do this, those that work night shifts.

Q: Thank you so much for what you do. I have done the FULL BODY DETOX in May and I am getting ready to do it again this month. My cycle is very regular but now I am concern because I am late. I believe it mostly have to do with me being stress about not having one. I am not pregnant and I do not have any other medical condition. I am not totally raw foods but I do limit meat and dairy consumption. Is there a nature way to induce my menses. Stop stressing is obviously one. LOL. You help is greatly appreciated.
Take MOON CYCLE FORMULA (3 capsules), FEMALE HORMONAL FORMULA (3 capsules) and FEMALE HEALTH TEA (1 cup daily) and this should regulate your menses.

Q: My daughter, age 16, stays constipated. When she finally goes normally it's around the time of her period. Majority of the time the bowel movement is sooooo LARGE it can't be released or extremly painful to do so. It's so big that my toilets often back up(I have new powerful flush system and it still backs up often). She cannot swallow pills...she gags! what do you recommend.
Have her drink Dherbs BOWEL MOVER tea (1-2 cups) daily. She should drink prune juice too and start eating prunes and figs and just more fruit (peaces, plums, apples, etc) for more fiber.

Q: I had sent an e-mail some time ago regarding me having local excision of the vulva. I recently returned to my doctor, and they would like to do another biopsy. I'm tired of going through this mess, and looking for alternative options. I think this is my time to try Dherbs.com. I need to know, what needs to be done for this so called stage III vulvar cancer? Supposedly is caused by HPV, however my cervix is fine. I'm desperate for help, and refuse to go under the knife again and let them keep cutting away at me. They also made the comment to me several times that if I don't take care of this, and it continues I can potentially die. Please help me!!
You can heal, Beloved and it doesn't need to be painful. First, I'd recommend that you perform the Full Body Detox and follow it up by performing the Total Woman Cleanse. Stick to a mostly raw foods diet as best you can. Drink plenty of vegetable juice to nourish the cells. Bathe in sea salt water daily. See "Sea Salt Soak" article. Apply mental science (mental exercises -- healing visualization techniques). Very important! I highly recommend as complimentary reading "The Mental Science Manual." Do all of the above for starters, Beloved! Dherbs.com is always here for you, Beloved! Please BELIEVE that you can heal, Beloved!

Q: Hello, this is my 2nd time doing the full body cleanse. I did it last year so now I'm doing it again. I started on Monday 3/9 and since have lost 5 lbs. Is that normal? Also why do you recommend Distilled water and not Spring and/or filtered (Brita). I have always drank a lot of water but roughly how many times a day should I urinate and how many times a day should I make a BM? When I did it the first time last year it was late Spring early Summer and incorporated a lot of walking which helped out a lot. This time not so much due to the horrible NY weather. I would appreciate you answering my questions and getting back to me at your earliest convenience. Thanks
A: Everyone's body is different and responds to the regimen differently. Losing 5 pounds in days is okay. Distilled water is the best type of water that helps to detox the body. You should be drinking half your body weight in water. Anything you put into your body you can expect it to come out. Bowel movements and urination is directly related to the foods and beverages you're consuming. Be sure that you're consuming three regular meals a day; eating fruits and vegetables with fiber.

Q: I'm experiencing very high pitched ringing in my ear, I've read your articles on this and understand there are spiritual matters I may need to deal with. My question to you is, when you experienced the ringing and came to the understanding that it was of a spiritual nature... how did you focus enough to understand the message coming to you.
I simply just focused and went with the flow and maintained my (studying, meditation). I'd soon wake up in the mornings with my answers or they would come through the day. Living in sheer silence was the key!

Q: I read your website on the Michael Baisden's forum and I have been looking with much excitement at your products! I know you don't have time to recommend products to everyone, but if you could recommend something for my 3 year old son, it would be greatly appreciated. In the last year he has gotten the ringworm twice since starting daycare. Once in the head and the second time on the forehead. I've used over the counter cream the second time which made it go away for a short time. And now a month later he is developing a rash, it looks like small pimples, not the ringworm, but I'm thinking its ringworm because its in the same spot. If you could recommend some herbs for him to get rid of this ringworm once and for all, I will purchase it immediately. Just for your info, he doesn't eat meat except at school and absolutely no pork. Thanks in advance
Please rub Dherbs OZ OIL on his body parts with ringworm.

While out and about yesterday with my wife, we stopped by a 2nd & Charles store. While there I was browsing the calendars display. There were a couple that caught my eye after my wife pointed out the Marvel Comics ones, but the one that stood out the most was the Atlas Obscura 2018 Wall Calendar. I knew I had to have it.
As it states on the cover image, the calendar is based on the popular travel book of the same name.
Invisible Creature
The Atlas Obscura wall calendar features some truly gorgeous artwork by Invisible Creature. I'm sure many are familiar with their work, either by already being a fan of them or just not knowing it but having seen their work — considering Target is one of their clients probably hard not to.
Travel In Style
Each month of the calendar takes you to another exotic location around the world featuring some amazing artwork. Done in a graphical style that makes for a unique piece of art for display. When it comes to vector art, this is probably one of my favorite styles and Invisible Creature does an amazing job as usual.
Check out a sampling of the calendar below and if you are interested, pick one here!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Skylar from 99% perfect! This sponge gets a 9/10!!! It's so close to being perfect! The sponge is great quality, the perfect firmness and every thing! The silicon part in the middle helps blend and use less product seemly! The only downside is that where the silicon connects to the sponge, there is a little plastic not fully cut so it can leave marks/super tinny indents but they are easily blended away with two bounces from the sponge! Would recommend!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Jen7 from Unique sponge I really love the concept of having the silicone with the sponge to make it versatile. It's very big and it is versatile but thought the sponge may be a little softer. It's easy to clean and really helps with a flawless application of concealer or foundation

The effect of electronic components on the cut-off frequency of the hot-wire system
Li, Jun-de (2005) The effect of electronic components on the cut-off frequency of the hot-wire system. Measurement Science and Technology, 16 (3). pp. 766-774. ISSN 0957-0233Full text for this resource is not available from the Research Repository.
The analytical solution for the frequency response of a constant temperature hot-wire system at given turbulent velocity fluctuations is used to investigate the effects on the cut-off frequency of the hot-wire system at different operating conditions. It is found that the optimal frequency response of the hot-wire system determined by the traditional square-wave test, under certain circumstances, cannot guarantee the stability of the hot-wire system from velocity perturbations. It is also found that the cut-off frequency depends not only on the hot-wire length to diameter ratio, the mean velocity, the hot-wire materials and the overheat ratio as previously found, but also on the gain bandwidth product of the amplifiers in the feedback circuit, the resistances used in the Wheatstone bridge and the gain of the amplifier in the feedback loop. Hot-wire systems with preferred operating conditions are recommended.

Orly Nail Polish Review 4 Polishes: Sweet Peacock, Lush, Steal The Spotlight, Brush It On
Hello everyone! It is time for another nail polish review! This time, I will be reviewing four Orly nail polishes in the shades: Sweet Peacock, Brush It On, Lush, and Steal The Spotlight.
This is an amazing and unique colored nail polish! It is a lime yellow green colored nail polish with yellow, green, blue, and orange strips of paper in it. I absolutely love this nail polish color! I have no other color like it, and in some lightings, like here with a flash, it even looks neon in color. This color is a great color for everyday wear since it appears light and subtle enough in color on the nails. This was one of my favorite colors out of all four of the colors I reviewed here.
Application: This nail polish applied like a breeze. It's formula is watery, but I did not have to shake it every time to prevent it from being too watery when applied. I did not need a top coat with this nail polish since it dried very fast, and I only needed one swatch to reach opacity.
Here is how this color looked on my nails without a top coat:
Wear Test: This nail polish wore extremely well! After wearing it for four days without a top coat, it still looked almost exactly the same as when I first applied it.
Steal The Spotlight
This nail polish is a very glittery blue green colored nail polish. It has blue, green, purple, and blue flecks of glitter in it. Since it has so much glitter in it, it is perfect for the holiday season ☃!
Application: This nail polish has a watery formula. You need to shake it each time before you apply it because otherwise, this nail polish comes out too watery. I did layer this polish twice in order to reach full opacity. One downside to this nail polish though is that when I layered it too much in areas that needed more polish because it still was not opaque, I found that this polish took too long to dry so I had to apply a top coat to it in order to get it to dry. Since this polish didn't dry on some of my nails, I just applied a top coat to all of my nails. Thus, I don't recommend using this nail polish on its own; you should use a top coat with it.
Here is how this nail polish looked on my nails with a top coat:
Wear Test: I wore this polish for four days to see how it performed, and it did not fare well at all. This polish broke down badly and looked terrible by the third day, at which time, a lot of the polish was gone. Since it broke down this much with a top coat, imagine how it would have been without one. So, I don't feel that this nail polish is the best quality.
Here is how Steal The Spotlight and Lush looked on my nails after four days:
Brush It On
This nail polish is a glitter polish with pink, yellow, and orange flecks of glitter in it. It has a beige undertone, which also makes it a great color for everyday wear since it is mild and light enough in color. Since this color is mild, you can make it bolder by wearing it as a top coat on top of another nail polish, rather than wearing it by itself.
Application: Like the other two Orly nail polishes I tried out above, this one also has a watery formula. I also needed two coats of this polish in order to reach opacity. There were no issues with it drying though; it dried very fast.
Here is how this nail polish looked on my nails without a top coat:
Wear Test: This nail polish wears very well without a top coat! After wearing it for four days, it still looked almost exactly as it did when I first applied it:
Sweet Peacock
This nail polish is a stunning beautiful royal blue polish with lots of shine and white glitter flecks in it. The name 'Sweet Peacock' really does suit this polish very well because it is a blue that does a peacock justice. This shade was also another one of my favorite shades out of the four Orly polishes I reviewed here.
In terms of opacity, I only needed one coat to reach opacity.
Here is how this polish looked on my nails with a top coat:
Wear Test: I wore this nail polish for four days, and it wore very well! My nails looked almost exactly the same as they did when I first applied it.
Since this nail polish is difficult to work with, I don't recommend it for beginners. Even though this color is very beautiful, I'm not sure I will reach for it again because it is a bit of work to apply and I can be very lazy 😐😔.
Final Thoughts: Out of all four colors I reviewed, Lush and Sweet Peacock were my favorites, but the formula for Sweet Peacock, as well as Steal The Spotlight, are not the best quality in my opinion. So out of these four nail polishes, I feel that Lush and Brush It On are the best quality ones, so I do highly recommend these two shades to you all.
Qualitywise, considering that it was 50/50 in terms of quality with the Orly nail polishes, I would say that their quality varies widely among their shades.
Have you tried any of the Orly nail polishes? What did you think of them?

Customer service is usually the first place we contact if we need more information, want to make a complaint etc. This means that customer service is the main opportunity for service recovery: turning a scratch in Customer Experience into something great. So that the customer ends up feeling more satisfied after the company has solved the problem than if everything had gone as planned in the first place.
With that kind of responsibility, customer service needs to take ownership of every step of the customer experience formulation, starting from the first touchpoint. Otherwise, the opportunity for service recovery is lost in the process. For example, when I recently needed to call customer service of a big insurance company, I spent the first 50s dealing with automated menu making choices and then another 50s listening to elevator music before I was connected to customer service.
By contrast, many of our client companies continue to reach under 10s response times in live chat. From customer's point of view, this means that with live chat there is basically no waiting time. Plus there is no need to switch to another device as you can just type the question while browsing on service provider's website. So, like this online technology reviews firm points out, it's no wonder that millennials prefer live chat over other channels in their day-to-day communication.
For many people, especially the younger population, logging onto a computer and typing feels much more natural than picking up the phone and calling someone. Written communication has also other advantages, for example, it makes sharing and preserving documents easy. It also diminishes the opportunity to misinterpret when you don't have to deal with disruptive background noise that makes e.g. understanding different accents more difficult.
People who prefer phone support often argue that live chat feels less personal than actual conversation. Expressing emotions in written communication can, of course, be challenging but that doesn't mean that it could not be done. For example, some simple key phrases like: "I can see your point" can help to show empathy and there are also several other ways to add a personal touch to live chat.
The biggest shortcoming of the phone compared to live chat is still the mere impossibility to have more than one (phone) conversation at the same time. A feature that easily leads to long waiting times as the number of customer representatives taking care of phone support is also limited. That is why the customer journey with phone support often starts with complicated automated menus and then if the customer manages to overcome that, he/she still often ends up being placed in a queue for the next available representative. Looking from the customer's perspective this means wasting time waiting to get connected. Which is especially bad if the customer has a complaint to make as hanging on a line will do nothing to diminish his/her dissatisfaction.
Live chat agents, on the other hand, can usually handle 5 to 8 chat conversations at the same time which cuts down waiting times to nothing and, as live chat is a real-time channel, the customer can interact with an actual person straight away. Agents can also quickly copy pre-written answers (i.e. canned answers) to the chatting field which speeds up the communication even more.
Obviously, phone and email still have their place; sometimes calling to customer service might still be the fastest way to sort out something and the good thing about email is that it reduces geographic and time zone barriers. Additionally, customers also expect to be able to pick up any of the service channels and receive the same level of service. That is why it is important for the customer service to make sure they can deliver seamless Customer Experience across different support channels.
The best way to do this is by combining different support channels into one integrated customer service solution. So that all the reporting, contact details and other valuable customer data are made available to the same team of customer representatives taking care of all the requests from different channels. Then, if for example one support channel gets jammed, the customer can be guided to use another channel without compromising customer satisfaction. For example, how our customer Finnair does.
And then, after your company has done all the above mentioned, you would be wise to give priority to live chat. Simply because live chat outranks other channels in two very critical factors influencing customer experience; efficiency and clear communication.
