text: It's here! As of today three of my kid have started "school". Tucker started second grade. Charlotte started Pre-Kindergarten, and today Henry started Joy school. So we are part excited and part sad. The kids definitely need the stimulation and I definitely need the break, but this just means more growing up! We had a wonderful summer together with lots of fun and even more swimming (I'm actually sick of it!) But we are ready for some sort of schedule and learning to go on. Here are my big kids on their first days of school this year.

Bit o honey
Not quite as good as I remember as a kid but still good
Great taste but not that fresh.
I was somewhat disappointed that the order was not fresh but on the stale side.
when you order bit o honey and it's cold outside, it is your own fault.
My candy is hard as a rock and no instructions as to how to make it soft. I was hoping that a few days inside the house would make it a little bit softer but each piece is like a rock so it went into the trash can.
The caramels were soft and delicious. The jelly beans are hard as rocks too but at least your teeth can penetrate them without fear of losing a tooth.
Bit O Honey as good as it gets!
The Bit O Honey candy is fresh, soft, and liked by most. Great for filling the ol candy jar at work. We even get visitors from other departments to visit our desk.
good old candy
a candy like this never goes out of style

After potential once you're sure. Don't feel obligated to spell out why you're resigning in the event that you don't have to. You're permitted to care for yourself. To start with, you should not be reactive. You can't force yourself to sense in a given way. Don't forget though, that the vast majority of people spend the bigger part of our waking hours at work.

There is no definitive selection of what Contain bad experience" on a work application. It's far better to keep a resume to one page and extract any unnecessary information. From the above mentioned discussion, you know that your choice will be contingent on the information you present in the cover letter. In a situation like this, one ought to get the most from career building tools so the procedure for job-search becomes easier.
Basically, a cover letter serves the goal of briefing the employer about your value for the job profile. There are particular things involved with composing an impressive objective statement. It's likely to also use the third paragraph of this cover letter to present added accomplishments in the academia like a normal manuscript reviewer for journals in your area. As you are aware the livelihood purpose is the very first element of you CV and therefore it needs to be written correctly, also it's important to compose different segments carefully.
Your resume structure can let it be simpler for them to look carefully at whatever you'd like to state.

A digital CV ought to be equally as fine if you reside far away and want your CV to achieve the employer after possible. You probably understand that having an expert CV is obviously likely to offer you benefits.
If you are moving to another research field warrant your interest. A little bit of research and extra efforts may give you an ideal job specific career announcement. If you have written on variety of topics then it is going to be undoubtedly superior than having composed only one kind of articles because most companies want writers for all sorts of writing jobs and not only one or 2. The question is asked only to learn more about your personality than actually seeking your personal details. For the motivation letter to be prosperous, it should address specific key issues and ought to also be in the most acceptable format. Frequent issues such as spelling and grammar mistakes will cause you to appear dumb. There are a lot of instances when, you have to think practically, in relation to handle the concerns of career building.
While styles and approaches can vary from 1 person to the next, there are some rather important things that ought to be on your resume. If you truly must make an impression by way of your CV, send it specific delivery.

With the practice that you provide, I'm sure I will get an equal appreciation of the requirements of the plastic market.
You will become awesomely optimized resumes and you are likely to make your life easier! After creating your resume, it's best to tailor it toward the particular job you're applying for. Simply because your employer does not notice your contribution for something does not indicate it is not important. Also, some companies hire people to just work a few hours each night to wash offices. Obtaining the skilled services of a CV writer or utilizing expertly written CV templates hold the key to delivering impact since they will have the wisdom and expertise required to make an impressive CV. A professional resume is not supposed to get grammar or fashion errors.
From time to time, you might not really have the necessary work experiences that are relevant with the job that you're applying for. My comprehension of the plastic business is extremely slender. Communication skills could be simplified into various components. The mentioned skills are often necessary for many job positions. You do not need to get worried if you don't possess job specific skills.
Not only are you can create several assortments of abilities from such organizations, but in addition, you are showing potential employers that you're an individual eager to dedicate themselves into a project. Skills can help you on your work enhance your efficiency and performance. To begin with, you're expected to rate your qualifications, experience and professional skills. The next thing to do is to boost your skills where the query of the way to compose a cover letter is addressed appropriately. Whether you're asked about your strengths, weaknesses or both it is vital they have relevance to the job. The simplicity and simplicity of a printed CV may be only right if you're applying to a nearby organization, or when you have a great deal of time before the CV should be reviewed.

Two teams will debate the merits of Grendel's viewpoint. The rest of the class will act as judges and rate the winning team. (ALL students will contribute to the debate by helping to suggest/refine talking points – each group will vote for members to participate in debate).
Resolved: Since the world and everything in it is an unplanned accident, existence is meaningless ;the past is irrelevant; nothing matters.
For: This team will take the attitude that the proposition is true.
They will try to prove it by using the arguments and experiences of Grendel and the dragon.
Against: This team will take the attitude that the proposition is false. They will try to prove it by using the arguments of Unferth, Beowulf, the Shaper, Ork, and any other evidence in the story.
1. No evidence is admissible unless it can be supported by the novel. 2. Each team will have three, two-minute chances to speak. In the first two-minute period they will present their argument. The second two-minute period will be used for rebuttal. In the rebuttal period, a team may argue only points which the other side has presented. The third two-minute period will be a summation (summarize main talking points/close argument). 3. At the close of the debate, the rating will be collected, added, and the results announced. (from The Center for Learning)
Participate in a trial of Grendel, either as judge, member of jury, court officer, court reporter, prosecutor, defense lawyer, the defendant, or a witness. (from The Center for Learning)
Standards for either Debate of Trial:

Paul Wall Recalls Some Very Real Advice Pimp C Gave Him
While Pimp C was locked up, he gave Paul Wall some game.
Houston rapper Paul Wall appeared on the music scene in 2002 on the collaborative album Get Ya Mind Correct with childhood friend and fellow rapper Chamillionaire. The Swishahouse affiliate wouldn't make his mainstream debut until 2005, with a guest spot on Mike Jones' classic hit "Still Tippin'." That same year, Wall released his first major label album The Peoples Champ, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, supported by the highly popular single "Sitting Sideways."
While Pimp C was locked up, he gave Paul Wall some game.

The Kingdom of Kippen is a book based on the previous First and Second Statistical Accounts of the Parish of Kippen. These two accounts catalogue the activities of the parish and it's inhabitants, the next building on the previous and carrying forward a degree of consistency in the data. The book follows the same general formula, but introduces additional areas, highlighting local individuals, social activities and a wealth of other items that attempt to make the book more enjoyable to read. Indeed, this book was a commercial venture by the author and as such, moved away from the rather dull, dry Statistical Accounts. To be fair to the accounts, they were essentially a census and were never meant to be regarded as a work that would be popular with the casual reader.
The 1903 book is now "out of print". Few examples remain, but of those that do, many are still owned (and passed down) by families who still live in the Kippen area today. A copy exists in the Public Library in Stirling and the source text for the following pages was obtained from digital scans of every page of the book - courtesy of the University of Toronto.
The latest version of "The Kingdom of Kippen" was authored by Kippen resident Tom Begg, son of the Reverend Begg, former Church of Scotland Minister to the Kippen Parish. The book was published in 2001 and updates much of the information contained in the 1903 version. It also concentrates on statistical data derived from the extensive church records.

The following pages are a direct transcription of the 1903 book "The Kingdom of Kippen: It's History and Traditions." by William Chrystal, a well known local to the village of Kippen.
The book offers a comprehensive snapshot of life at the start of the 20th century and also provides a historical account of the area and its inhabitants that stretch back hundreds of years. The layout of the book is similar to the format of the First and Second Statistical Accounts of Scotland, and this makes comparisons with previous periods relatively easy.
The book is now out of print, but it is presented here in its entirety with no alterations to the original text.
In the near future, a special "Page Flipping" facility will be added to this section. This application will allow the viewer to turn scanned pages, (using their mouse), of the original book and read the text as it originally appeared in print. The program that creates this interactive book requires a graphic image of each page. These images undergo considerable processing and retouching to obtain a final image that can be read with the minimum of difficulty. The size of each graphic image is also important. Too small and the text becomes blurred and difficult to read, too big and the page fills the screen so that scrolling is required to see the whole text. It is hoped a "happy medium" will be reached, regarding size and clarity of each page. Once this happens, we will set to work converting all the scanned pages and ultimately, produce the virtual book.
The following text has been optically read from these scanned originals. Minor layout changes, and slight re-arrangements to the order of the topics are the only changes to the original book. All the text has been left unchanged.

Ryan Leslie was born on September 24, 1978. He is an American rapper, entrepreneur, record producer, singer and multi-instrumentalist. Leslie is also the founder and CEO of NextSelection Lifestyle Group. As a record producer, he has produced singles for numerous artists in a number of genres ranging from hip-hop, R&B, Pop to Gospel. His most commercial success came in 2005-2006 when Cassie, one of his artists, released a single entitled "Me & U". As a singer, he also has his own album. Ryan Leslie was nominated for Grammy Award in 2011. His success gives him a fortune, and now Ryan Leslie net worth is currently estimated at $4 million.
Ryan Leslie is the oldest son of Mooi Leslie and Clement Leslie. Both of his parents are Salvation Army officers who relocated for work frequently. Because of it, he has lived in numerous cities, states even countries. His passion and skills in music were seen at his early age. He learned how to play piano even there was no teacher teaching him. He developed himself to create music and songs. When he was 14, while attending Bear Creek High School, he scored a 1600 on his SATs, which was a perfect score. He applied for 4 campuses in 1993, which were University of California, Yale University, Harvard and Stanford. Amazingly, he was accepted in three campuses but he chose Harvard. He graduated from Harvard in the age of 19.
With his education and skills, he learned by himself the basic production skills and his musical style. He also used them for many campus events. However, he had to sell music instruments to local artists in Boston to earn income. He pursued his interest in music industry. His success in music industry surely becomes the biggest source of his net worth. Since he is still young and skillful, the sum will be growing during the time.

Asia was the one bright spot in terms of wealth manager assets under management last year, being the only region where assets increased rather than declined.
According to GlobalData analysis, allocations by private wealth mangers to Asia during the year meant Asian assets under management rose by 6.7 per cent in 2018.
However, it was not all good news as profits for Asian wealth managers fell for the second year in the row as competitive pressure affected margins.
Andrew Haslip, head of financial services content for Asia Pacific at GlobalData, said: "Every major international wealth manager looking to grow client AUM is looking towards Asia and with good reason. There is new wealth that cries out for professional management but wealth managers looking for volume in Asia will have to accept lower short-term profits in order to compete."
Overall, assets under management among the 40 private wealth managers globally declined by one per cent to $12.1 billion during the year. Negativity was particularly evident at the largest banks such as UBS and Bank of America Merrill Lynch and in firms based in Europe.
Haslip said this was a result of last year's volatile financial markets and less favourable macroeconomic conditions.
"This weakness in the market was centred in Europe once again, with both the key Swiss market and players from the rest of the continent seeing a decline in portfolio size. But considering the late stage of the economic cycle and the rising trade tensions, it is likely that 2017 was the recent peak in the market for global private wealth management. Macroeconomic conditions are less favourable for wealth generation over the near term and that is certainly reflected in the decline in inflows that we have seen as well," he commented.

Recently I wrote a post on Situations which ended as follows:
But, in spite of all the commonalities, there is a distinction in the way that TU811 treats situations of interest compared to the way TU812 treats situations of concern…
In TU811, it is perfectly possible to adopt a first order stance – using systems approaches to analyse a situation of interest that you stand apart from. You can take the mindset of a consultant asked to advise or make recommendations to someone in government or in an organisation. It is possible to be objective and distant, to lack ownership of and for the situation. I say possible, you don't have to engage with the situation that way but you can still engage pretty effectively as a systems practitioner if you do.
In comparison, when TU812 talks of situations of concern, they tend to be situations you experience directly – something you are part of. This means a first order stance is more constraining and it is more appropriate to adopt a second order stance. Here your personal engagement with the situation and the other people who are part of it matters. Your emotioning, understandings, actions and interactions can have an influence on whether the situation improves or declines. Your own action and interaction matters.
In the last few days, I have been reflecting on this in the light of closer reading of the work of Ison (2017) and various works by Checkland (e.g. 1985) which formed the basis for Ison's conceptual model of what it is to think about practice.
The particular aspects I have been reflecting on are the way in which the practitioner and the situation can be perceived to relate to each other.

In the second part of this mini-series of articles on keeping LED stage lighting rigs on the road, On Stage Lighting looks at a typical moving LED wash fixture and considers common maintenance tasks and repair practices.
In the first article in this series, we took a look at some distinctive traits of LED stage lighting fixtures in 2019 when it comes to keeping them running. This included considerations for Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS), LED driver circuitry and the LED light sources themselves. Today we are going to consider a typical LED moving wash light and use it as a guide to other LED lighting fixtures. In this case, I've chosen the Chauvet Rouge R2 Wash as it is a commonly available fixture in a middle-of-the road price bracket, one that is stocked by hire and production companies, and also owned by venues. There are more expensive LED wash lights and there are cheap and cheerful designs, the R2 fits somewhere in between and makes for a good study.
Chauvet Rogue R2 LED Wash
Without repeating the manufacturers marketing guff, the R2 is a RGBW (Red, Green, Blue, White) moving wash with a wide zoom range and light sources comprising of nineteen 15W RGBW LEDs, controlled in five zones. The fixture can be set to range of modes and has some level of 'pixel' capability but only to the extent of these zones. The user interface is a colour non-touch OLED display accompanied by the common Menu, Enter, Up, Down buttons, so one of the simple but functional interfaces. The fixture has DMX In and Out on both XLR5 and XLR3, plus PowerCon In and Thru. The PSU is mounted in the base, the main board is in the yoke, and the driver board is in the head itself.
It's a LED moving wash light. Not much more I can say. An affordable workhorse that flings coloured light about the place in a generally pleasing manner.
Maintaining the Rogue R2 Wash
Being a simple wash light, the key maintenance point for the R2 after keeping it clean on the outside is cooling. Keeping the large fan, fins and vent at the back of the head free of gunk, and similarly the cooling system in the base of the fixture – where the power supply is situated. This is the key routine service task with the period between servicing rather depending on how hard life is for the fixture. In a busy hire stock, the unit will see some serious action week to week and the service intervals are suitably short.
In general, there is very little to keep fettling with on an moving LED wash light other than keeping the thing clean and able to stay cool. There aren't a ton of service points, optics to polish, or lots of complex mechanics to worry about. The fixture is fairly light weight so the Pan and Tilt mechanisms are untroubled by their respective burdens and the zoom system isn't that complex or particularly fragile. In general use, these bits just work.
I have identified a not-so-obvious service task that may not be on the owners agenda, but we'll talk about this later as part of the common repairs and how they can perhaps be avoided.
Rogue R2 Wash – Common Issues
Let's be clear. This isn't a review of the robustness of the R2 Wash nor a hatchet job on Chauvet kit. We are looking at common issues when owning these fixtures as a demonstration of the kinds of things we are now faced with running LED based stage lighting fixtures. With that little disclaimer out of the way here is, in no particular order, some common issues experience running a stock of R2 Washes.
Interface Buttons
Usually the simplest to fix.
A niggle and potentially a load-in stopper, the Menu, Up, Down and Enter buttons can get gunked up and stop working. The buttons are the only way to interface with the fixture and it's not fun trying to set a DMX address with no Down button, and no Enter button makes it game over. The interface buttons start to become a bit finnicky and at this point are just an annoyance, but eventually they can stop working.
The fix usually just requires removal of the Screen and Interface PCB and carefully aiming some contact cleaner into each push button before wriggling the button around in its housing. I suggest steps are taken to avoid getting the cleaner onto or into the screen and that removing the PCB is the best method, rather than trying work with it in situ on the base panel.
If the button cannot be revived with some switch cleaner, then it needs to be replaced.
LED drivers
A common issue, and one that can be mitigated with some additional service routines at suitable intervals. Firstly, lets look at where the LED drivers are and what they do.
The R2 Wash LED driver board is a ring shaped PCB fixed to the back of the head. A fan on the back of the PCB drags air through the fins around the centre of the unit and the PCB also has it's own heatsinks to help cooling of the driver components. The components are an array of fairly simple circuits based on the PT4115 PWM driver, each driving one of the RGBW LEDs. This board is populated by Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) and in places has some fairly close tracks and pads, while the whole thing is facing into the fixture situated in a place where 'bad things happen' regarding air flow, crud, and haze fluid residue.
One common fault with R2s coming back off the road is a low level bleed of an LED cluster even when the fixture is meant to be in blackout. This is an indicator of the onset of the R2s Achilles Heel: a dirty driver PCB. Conductive gunk can gather at certain points in the board and start confusing the driver circuits or control signals. In the worst case, a build up can fry one of the PT4115s. With luck, these problems with the driver won't go on to send nasty stuff to the LEDs themselves as dealing with a zapped LED a lot more work – as we'll see later.
Issues with the dirt build up on the LED Driver PCB can lead to track and solder joint corrosion which again can stop the LED drivers working properly.
For this reason, I suggest that removing and cleaning of the LED driver PCB becomes a routine in the service schedule. Not every service, but often enough during the fixtures life to catch the problems associated with this issue before they start. Just take care not to knock one of the SMD electrolytic capacitors off the board while cleaning the PCB – luckily I can say that this hasn't happened to me but I can see how it could.
When it comes to repairing a faulty LED driver board, the whole board from Chauvet isn't all that expensive and oftentimes there is little point spending a lot of time tracing a fault and trying to make a nice job of swapping out a PT4115 properly because you need the right tools to do it and the consequences of making a bad job of it include zapping an LED which is a whole other world of pain and expense.
Rouge R2 Wash LED Repair
So, you have an issue with a LED or a zone. How do you know if it's the driver or the LED itself? This is something you really want to verify because getting to the 15W RGBW LEDs themselves is a lot of work. The LEDs are right in the very middle of the fixture and require a lot of disassembly before you can even see them. There are a few possibilities:
- The LED driver circuit
- The LED / LED board
- The wiring loom that connects the two
You can hope it's the LED driver and certainly that is the ideal situation because it involves the least dismantling. Verifying this can be as simple as swapping the driver board for another known good one – if the problem goes away then great. On this particularly model, there is also potential for swapping the multipin headers running from the PCB to the LEDs themselves which can verify if the issues is with the driver board or something else. I've not yet ever found a problem with the wiring loom. If it's not the driver board, it's probably the LEDs themselves.
Checking the LEDs
The RGBW LEDs on the R2 are right in the middle of the fixture. In order to even look at them, you have to take everything off including the front cover, the lens, the optical condensers, the zoom motors, everything on the front of the fixture has to come off to reveal the LEDs and the loom terminations on the LED PCB. There is quite a lot of parts, screws, posts and other bits and pieces that all need to be carefully removed.
Once in, we can check the LEDs in circuit using a multimeter. Each 8 pin LED chip contains 4 LEDs and with the MM set to diode mode and the correct polarity you can get Red, Green, Blue and White LEDs to light a tiny amount using the small voltage from the meter. On these particular LEDs, the anode and cathode of each LED are adjacent on the same side of the 8 pin package and the colours are marked on the PCB.
Changing the LEDs
Once we have verified that a LED needs replacing, we have a couple of options from the ones outlined at the start of this series:
- Replace the entire LED PCB
- Replace a single LED
The first option is mega-expensive as a populated board with all new LEDs and other bits from Chauvet is not a cheap option.
The second option is a little bit tricky for DIY and worthy of a whole other article, we'll save this for the next one.
The key maintenance and repair issues with the R2 Wash can be considered as a good indication of the kinds of things we now have to deal with owning LED moving light rigs, particularly failures of driver circuits and LEDs. The only thing we haven't really looked at today is power supplies. This is actually because the R2 Wash power supply seems to have fewer problems than some (in contrast to the R2 Beam) and so it hasn't featured at the top of our repairs list with the R2 Wash itself.
Power supply issues are also much more of a feature of cheap and cheerful LED based products, so we should probably look at those another day.
What LED fixtures have you got? Are there common faults that are particular to the fixture? Let us know in the comments below.

Missing in the Tates Creek Road area
A few months ago the Honey Bean Coffee Shop closed . This great little cafe was located in Tates Creek Centre and its closing left a gaping hole in the coffee shop category for the trade area . It was a neighborhood gathering spot and its Wi Fi connection made it a convenient place for business meetings and for the mobile workforce to catch up on e-mail etc. I am hoping that someday soon someone will fill that gap .

Student Adoption & Development of Digital Learning Media: Action Research and Recommended Practices
Document Type
Publication Date
Digital technologies offer many opportunities for creating engaging course content. In this study we captured student perceptions and adoption choices related to creating and using digital media as learning tools. Podcasts, video and other media were integrated in a variety of contexts and tasks in two undergraduate information technology (IT) courses in a college of business. During the fall semesters of 2009 and 2010, faculty members teaching a junior-level IT and networking concepts course and a senior-level information security course, produced video-captured lectures, recorded fine-grained conceptual tutorials and podcasts, developed software simulations, and provided media for ad-hoc learning assistance. Students produced video for several class assignments. They also had the option of replacing a typical written semester report with a video project. Student satisfaction with the various forms of digital learning media, perceptions of learning, and intention to adopt for future courses were measured in a series of surveys and compared to self-reported learning styles. Of particular interest was how students would perform and respond to the higher order learning activity of creating digital output. Outcomes were generally positive, and in some cases, students reported that access to digital media positively changed the way they prepared for class and studied for exams. While students reported that developing digital media was preferable to traditional projects and felt they learned more about their topics during the process of developing a video or simulation, they noted the time commitment was high. They are not yet ready to see digital media used exclusively for content delivery and expressed a preference for a mix of media and traditional classroom lectures. The paper concludes with suggestions for introducing digital learning media into an IT curriculum.

The Primary Colors by A. Theroux is about synaesthesia.
Synaesthesia is a new word for me. I first encountered the word
sometime after a few drinks and the passing of midnight. No one
adequately explained its meaning to me, but I have been winging
it about haphazardly ever since.
I am glad I read The Primary Colors; it gives me a reason to use the word synaesthesia without risking
impropriety, inaccuracy or the indolent raised eye-brow of the
Halfway through the second essay, "Yellow," I laughed out loud
and kissed a potato. Each of the three essays are primarily a
list of things that are blue, yellow, or red, respectively. A
catalogue of color. A tour-de-force of phenomenological being.
No plot, no point, and seemingly, no distinct poetry. By describing
color, Theroux describes experience, inaccuracy, impression and
the sensory overload that defies categorization and defines life.
Do I know X to be blue or do I know it to be salty? The Primary Colors is a neat thorn in the head of epistemology.

out of the window in a pick-up truck barreling across a lush,

destined to be reviewed by me. I still haven't read it, because
I'm in the middle of 1015 other books.
But what Chick didn't reveal to you in her review is the absolute
beauty of the book. O! its shape, its size, its FORM! Perfect
in every way. I tremble with fear lest its contents disappoint
after the outward form has taunted me with such comely pulchritude.
The curly font chosen for the page numbering, placed upper center
of each page instead of thrown carelessly to the bottom, is ideal.
Not for every book, mind you, but ideal here. Little tease.
The size is roughly octavo, as they would have said in Victorian
times, when the sheets of paper used to print books were of the
same size, and book size was determined by how many times a sheet
was folded. Octavo was composed of sheets folded four times to
produce eight leaves or 16 pages, and ended up being approximately
6" x 9" in size (as opposed to Quarto, which was folded twice
to form four leaves or 8 pages, and thus was a larger book. Now
solve the problem to find out the size of the original sheet!).
The Brontes always preferred Octavo. What a respectable, distinguished,
yet imminently graspable, touchable, caressable little package!
I don't know if the book's got any brains, but she sure is a looker!

What is the maximum of METTA I can consume each day?
As much as you want and as long as you are paying attention to the rest of your diet. Tonic herbs in METTA are balancing, so the issue
of over-dosage does not arise. However, BALANCE is the key word in health and if you choose to neglect good dietary practices while
consuming huge amounts of METTA, that will not be healthy for your body. METTA helps to balance e the whole body system. Do not neglect
a good diet.

doctor for advice.

Can METTA be consumed by women under confinement?
METTA is produced from twenty one precious herbs and is non-alcoholic. It helps in excretion and a remedy for excess "wind" in the stomach.
Is METTA safe for infants to consume?
es. However be careful how you feed it to infants; they aren't really whole yet and so there is an element of uncertainty associated with
the combining of foods in their diet. Along with nutritious infant formula, adding a few drops of METTA will make toddlers healthy and
vigorous. No more than once a day.

Yes. Children who are above 3 years old can consume about 5 ml of METTA for between 2-4 times per week. METTA helps in improving

METIA is rich in glucose which is needed by those who suffer from diabetes.
How long does it take for the result of METTA to be noticed?
METTA is a natural herbal tonic but not a medicine. Due to the difference in health condition and
, the time taken for the result to
be seen could differ from person to person.
Should METTA continue to be taken after recovering from illness?
Prevention is better than cure. Regular consumption of METTA may prevent the illness from recurring.
Should I stop taking vitamin and mineral supplements when I am using METTA?
No. METTA is not a replacement for specific problem solving nutrients. Vitamins and minerals, when used in appropriate amounts, have
certain tonic activity themselves. All vitamins and most minerals are paramount to good health and you should definitely consider including
them in your daily diet.
Q21 : Can I continue drinking herbal teas while using METTA?
Yes, you can. Plan on using METTA every day for the rest of your life. There is no need to neglect other nourishing teas in the meantime.
Just remember this: Strong acting herbs are like drugs -they tend to over power the action of the tonic, but unlike drugs their activity does
not persist in the body for long periods of time. Hence, to get the most from your herbal teas and other herbal supplements, you only have
to take them a couple hours apart from when you take METTA.
Can I consume METTA while taking other herbs?
Singular herbs (non-tonic herbs) can cancel out the good effects of a tonic herb. Therefore, in order to receive the health-giving benefits
supplied by METTA, you should decrease or cease your consumption of all non-tonic herbs.
Q23 : Will METTA interfere with prescription medications or with OTC drugs?
No. METTA is mild in its activity. It gently pushes body symptoms and processes towards NORMAL. Drugs are powerful and are uni-directional.
Will METTA interfere with the activity of drugs, or will drugs interfere with the activity of METIA?
The powerful uni-directional force of drugs may overpower the gentle tonic herbs of METTA. Whatever tonic action that is pushing in the
same direction as the drug will simply be multiplied a hundred-fold by the drug. And the bi-directional activity of METTA when acting in
opposition to the direction force exerted by the drug will have little chance of restoring homeostasis as long as the drug is present. But there
is an upside to this. METTA may reduce the side effects of drugs.
Q25 : What is "bi-directional"?
The word 'bi-directional' describes the most unique property of tonic herbs in METTA Tonic : the ability to exert activity in opposite
directions. Nothing else in the entire medicinal world has this property. Nothing! Certainly not any drugs. And very few herbs. Here's an
example. Ginseng is a tonic herb. It can either raise blood pressure or lower it, depending on the momentary needs of the body when it is
consumed. How does it do that? It contains one group of ingredients that can lower blood pressure, and another group that can raise blood
pressure. Won't the forces cancel each other out? No. Numerous studies have shown that the body is able to extract from foods, dietary
supplements, and herbs, the specific nutrients it needs at the moment the items are consumed. The unneeded nutrients are simply excreted
or metabolized into inactive intermediates or ignored.
Does that mean METTA detoxify drugs? How so?
It has to do with METTA's inherent attribute of pushing systems toward normal, thereby checking some of the adverse, or non-normalizing
over-reaches of drugs.
So, should I use METTA, while using drugs?
Yes, but it is the detoxifying action of METTA , rather than the balancing action of METTA that you will be taking advantage of
Can I still use METTA if I am allergic to any of its ingredients?
It depends on how allergic you are. A serious allergy that results in hives, rashes, or anaphylactic shock would preclude the use of the tonic.
Mild allergies that result in headache, upset stomach, or loose bowels, for example will, surprisingly, often disappear after continued use
of METTA. Tonic herbs tend to heal these kinds of processes. The recommendation is that you slowly increase the amount of METTA you
consume each time, gradually building up tolerance and possibly eliminating altogether.
What results could I expect when I first consume METTA?
Increased energy.
Why is METTA different from all other drinks in the market?
METTA has a wide range of enzymes, vitamins and other nutritional ingredients in liquid form that enhances the body's ability to absorb and
use them quickly. Other drink products are fruit juices that do not include the complex ingredient panel found in METTA.
Q31 : Are there any animal based ingredients in METTA?
METTA is vegan. There are no animal based ingredients used.
Are the herbs in METTA certified organic?
Why is it necessary to have preservatives in METTA?
METTA is not shipped to you in refrigerated trucks. Due to temperature variations when we ship throughout the world, it's necessary to put a
small amount of preservatives in the product to insure shelf life stability and maintain freshness.
Does the METTA need to be refrigerated?
Once you open the bottle, we recommend refrigerating.
What is the shelf life of the METTA?
Two Years.
Does METTA contain artificial flavors or colorings?
What is the last word on METTA?
METTA should serve as the foundation of our daily health, restoring balance, homeostasis, normalcy to all glands, organs, systems and
processes in the body, renewing us each and every day, invigorating mind and soul, and preparing us to withstand the thousands of
pressures flung in our direction every waking minute of our lives. METTA is the best health insurance you can buy!
