***This is a pre order for the Unicorn Crystal Trinket Dish silicone mold! ***
The crystals that surround this dish may easily trap bubbles when resin pouring. Slowly pour your resin to make sure the crystal points don't trap any or your finished piece will have slight flaws.

The pictured mold is my personal mold. It is only used for reference of how your mold will look but new and unused.
*Your mold will be more circular in shape as I have created a custom housing for it😊💜*
*****The mold color is semi transparent. I ran out of powder pigment sorry!****
This is a handmade mold so it may have slight flaws on the outside but the casted resin piece will be perfect

Rishi K – Psyonica EP
November 14, 2015 in Singles
Someone else who can always be relied on to come up with the deep house goods is San Francisco's Rishi K, and he certainly doesn't disappoint here.
In its original form, Psyonica is quite a lively deep houser, centred around a warm, strutty bassline and chopped soulful male vox and aimed fair and square at the dancefloor. It comes accompanied by two remixes: a deeper pass from Koala and an even deeper, driftier one from Yigit Atilla. Think the original for 1am, Koala for 5am and Atilla for the sofa when you get in! Completing the package is Equinox, a more uptempo, prog-tinged affair that mixes up Yellow Magic Orchestra-ish synths and garage-y female vocal snips.
Out: This week on Beatport, everywhere else from 23 November.
About: This is brought to you by Spain's Deep Clicks, who you can find here, here and here.

It's July, and you're in Rome. You can't wait to see the sights! But it's hard to appreciate the beauty when you are covered in sweat, standing in queue with a couple hundred of your newest friends. Centuries of history are close enough to touch, only you can't. Because you are standing in line. And, judging from the pace, your place in that history is not coming any time soon. This could take, I don't know, forever? You begin to understand why Rome is called the Eternal City.
Over there, however, is a fast moving line with happy tourists. What's the deal? Those, my friend, are people on tours, replete with peppy, knowledgeable guides, bottles of cold water, and coveted Skip the Line entry.
Many people hear the words "guided tour" and immediately assume a defensive posture, as though it's a frontal attack on their abilities and acumen. The usual objections are time, money, and the belief that anyone can buy a guidebook and have a great time. Oddly enough, those are exactly the reasons why, in some cases, you SHOULD take a guided tour!
Spend your time in the right place.
Chances are, you've spent a sizeable sum getting to your destination. Now, the most valuable part of your trip is your time. You should not spend it standing in line or seeing the wrong sights. No matter what your budget is, you want to make the most of your time, and this is where a guided tour can help the most.
That's not to say you should always take a tour, but sometimes it is the best investment you can make. When research says to expect long lines, start looking for ways around them. Sometimes, it's as simple as buying tickets in advance and strolling right up the front gate. (You would be surprised how many times the longest line is just to buy tickets.) Other times, tour groups have the advantage, whether that's a separate entrance, a different queue, or hours that get you in earlier or later than the general public.
Tours that get you into popular attractions outside of normal hours are especially worthwhile. When visiting the Vatican, for example, skipping the line only gets you past the throngs waiting outside. Once past the gate, your tour group is among a sea of humanity during the busiest times. Instead, look for tours that start before the gates open. Yes, that means your day will start early, but that also means you will be in the Sistine Chapel with a group of just ten or twenty. Later in the day, the room will be stuffed to capacity. That early morning experience alone is worth so much more than the price of the tour.
Spend your money on the right tours.
Be aware that there may be different tour types at popular attractions: some start after you've gone through line, some go through the queue as a group, and some skip the line altogether. (In all cases, the cost of tickets is not always included; be sure to ask.) Obviously, the last type is the one you will usually want, but this isn't to say that skipping the line is the only value in a guided tour.
Some tours have multiple stops, and can be very helpful in getting you in and out of each one, and understanding how they are related. These tours are great for minimizing the legwork. They take care of tickets at different venues, transportation between them, and figuring out the best itinerary. You're in charge of enjoying the sights. While most of these tours only hit the highlights, they are good for getting to see a lot when you only have a little time.
Go beyond the Guide Books.
A substantial part of what you pay for with a guide is their local knowledge. You could buy a guide book to Barcelona and learn all about Bario Gotico and la Sagrada Familia. In theory, you have a plan. Once you put boots on the ground, though, do you know the best way to get from one to the other? Do you know what to avoid today, or what hidden gem is around the next corner? A local does, and that information can be priceless.
Beyond being a fountain of knowledge, your tour guide is a living, breathing, human-type person. Believe it or not, they want you to talk with them. They want to know what you are interested in. Tour guides know that "cold and impersonal" are great ways to have a short career. Particularly in a country where you don't speak the language, your tour guide may be one of the few people you'll have a real and localized conversation with.
Ultimately, the cost of a tour is measured by the quality of the experience. A seasoned guide will make sure you get more than your money's worth with inside information, anecdotes, and insights that you might not find without tons of research.
TravelLatte Recommendations
- Don't feel you always have to take a tour, but anywhere the lines are long, there is a lot to see, or you are completely unfamiliar, it's worth considering.
- Look for tours that match your interests: Art history in Florence, or archaeology in Mayan Mexico, for example.
- Research your options; there are frequently several tour companies to choose from, and some may fit your style better than others.
- Call the tour companies and ask if tour guides are certified, and ensure they meet any special needs you have.
- We have had the best luck with tours booked on Viator and Walks of Italy, and we recommend both.
- We also recommend due diligence: read reviews, check social media, and look for posts in travel blogs to help reach a decision.
What's your preference? Do you go it alone, join a tour group, or mix and match? We would love to hear about your choices and experiences!

Geometry and Spatial Sense
Have you ever lost your car in the parking lot? Or given bad directions? Both tasks require spatial reasoning. Historically, we have considered spatial thinking to be less important than other subjects in the school curriculum. A recent report from the National Research Council says that spatial literacy is important. "In Learn to Think Spatially, a study group chaired by Roger M. Downs of Pennsylvania State University states that without explicit attention to [spatial thinking], we cannot meet our responsibility for equipping the next generation of students for life and work in the 21st century." This video explains a specific plan for a hands-on, fun approach to teaching this topic.

Greetings from the Big Apple! Smack in the middle of #RWA15 and boy, are my feet tired. I've been traveling since Saturday and have learned real quick that my regular 8pm bedtime is to be respected, but I'm having too much fun hanging with authors in person (FINALLY) and of course, picking up books.
Last week I asked that all of us, readers/authors/bloggers/editors etc alike really make an effort to support diversity in romance fiction. My reading purchases have been pretty dang diverse since I started reading romance, but I wanted to get out in the streets, so to speak, and support, support, support.
So I put on the least sensible pair of walking shoes I have (I'll never walk around in Chucks all day again) and hit the "Readers For Life" Literacy Signing and bought, bought, bought. Here's my haul. You might see what they have in common (psssst they're all by diverse authors).I'm staying with family and the moment I returned for the night, my aunt looked at my haul and told me straight up she was stealing all my books! I'm going arm wrestle her for them before I fly home. We'll see who wins. #RWA15 keeps rolling along and I've already had some great conversations about changes in publishing. Today I'm heading back to the conference with the objective of picking up some additional books for my baby cousin. Stay tuned for a final update!

The Forex Bear and Bull
The forex or the foreign exchange market is where the currencies of different countries are traded on a daily basis. Currency prices in the forex have been described as volatile. They are always trending up and down and market movers attempt to predict this movement all the time. And despite the massive volume of trades in the foreign exchange market the price changes are slight and this makes the market very liquid. Its volatility and liquidity have given this old market a couple of suitable distinctions at a point in time. The market can either be a bear or a bull.
There is a distinct language in the forex world. If one is attempting to set foot in it, one should know what to expect. More often than not, you will hear currency traders say that the market is bullish lately, or that it's been a bear market so far. These terms describe the status of currency prices at a particular moment. A bear market is when currency prices are dropping. A bull market is when currency prices are rising.
A bear market is distinguished when prices are dropping down, like a bear going on hibernation. But it should not be mistaken that market activity is slowing down because it's not. The forex is a 24-hour market that is always active. A bear market is favored by traders who strategize to benefit in that situation by selling when prices were up. These traders will act on dropping prices by buying back currency in a bear market at a profit.
A bull market is distinguished when prices are going up, like a bull raging at a matador. This market is favored by those who have set up trades to earn a profit in this situation. Currency traders, who have bought currency at a bear market, will profit when they sell at a higher price in a bull market.
Currency prices in the foreign exchange market are constantly moving numerous times in a single trading day. These price movements have been called volatile and liquid. Like the changing of the seasons in the real world, the forex world similarly has changes of season as well though they may not be as predictable as winter, spring, summer or fall. The market seasons distinguish the market as prices are moving. So, when prices are going up it is called a bull market, and when prices are going down and it's called a bear market.

Четвертый студийный альбом уэльских фолковых музыкантов, вышедших на огромное боле прогрессив рока.
This has certainly been a long awaited release. And with that long wait, their have been some wholesale changes. Except for the bass player, everyone is new following the 2004 exodus. They may still be called Karnataka, but this is really a new band, with a new sound. Longer tracks, longer instrumental passages, and more progressive. While I applaud these changes, they also have ventured into a genre that is rather saturated by other acts. They have traded some of their distinctiveness away in favor of this new direction. Sure, some things are the same. Great female vocalists, a prominent guitarist, and a generally easy character to the pace of their songs. But im wondering whether the test of time will show this album to be a breakthrough and everlasting favorite, or whether it gets lost and forgotten among the myriad of similar sounding efforts by other bands?

Peter Wilson
Wellington, March 17, 2019
Just when Simon Bridges thought that the Jami-Lee Ross catastrophe was safely in the past, it has come roaring back to life with serious implications for the National Party.
For months to come the words National Party and Serious Fraud Office (SFO) are going to be on the same page.
That alone could harm public perception of the Party, even if the SFO finds no wrongdoing over the $100,000 donation at the centre of its investigation.
If it prosecutes, the impact could be horrendous.
Leader's responsibility
Party leader Simon Bridges must have been appalled by the news that the Police had passed the investigation to the SFO, which reached him just before he was due to front up to the media for a regular question and answer session.
His response was to say it was a Party matter, indicating it was really nothing to do with him.
His meant that Party officials handle donations, not the politicians, and he is right in that.
But he is the Leader, and what happens within the Party has everything to do with him.
In short, Mr Ross claimed last year that a $100,000 donation allegedly from a Chinese businessman reached the Party's coffers in segments of $15,000 so it didn't have to be disclosed. He laid a complaint with the police.
Electoral Law implications
If the donation was deliberately split up to avoid disclosure that's a breach of Electoral Law, and the forensic accountants at the SFO will be following the money trail.
Presumably, Police thought there was something worth investigating or they wouldn't have called in the SFO, which has powerful authority to get to the bottom of financial issues like this.
Mr Bridges, as he brushes off questions, must know what happened to the donation.
He would almost certainly have nailed that down immediately after Mr Ross first made the allegation. It is unthinkable that he would have just shrugged it off and not spoken to the party's senior officials, given the potential strife it could cause.
His Deputy Paula Bennett must also know what went on. She continues to confidently predict that the party will be cleared.
As for Mr Bridges, he must be wondering when he is going to get a break. He has been on a roll the last few weeks, ferociously attacking the government's perceived intention to introduce a capital gains tax.
The Shane Jones debacle
In addition, the Shane Jones debacle over a potential conflict of interest played right into National's hands. It was all going so well for the opposition until the curse of Jami-Lee Ross struck again.
How long the SFO will take is like asking how long is a piece of string. They are usually slow and very thorough, and it depends partly on what priority they place on this.
It could be a relatively high priority, given the level of public interest and the fact that while it drags on there will be suspicions of wrongdoing affecting a major Political Party.
It has to be noted that Mr Ross made numerous and serious allegations against Mr Bridges, all of which were vigirously denied, and has produced no proof to support any of them.
Police did investigate his complaint before handing it over to the SFO. Media statements have given hardly any details but police did say the SFO would "look further into matters raised by the investigation to date."
So they got somewhere and then decided the SFO, which specialises in such matters, should take it over.
Sir Michael Cullen
While this was going on, National was becoming very upset about something else – the way
Sir Michael Cullen has stepped into the Capital Gains Tax debate.
The former Head of the now disbanded Tax Working Group has had his contract extended to June 30, 2019 and he has been correcting 'misrepresentations' about the Group's recommendations.
Much has been made of the fact that Sir Michael is paid $1000 a day but he doesn't earn it all the time. He says that he claimed for just two days during February and March was likely to be much the same.
Nonetheless, he has been pretty vocal in the way he has challenged National's interpretations of the recommendations and the Party says it's nothing less than a political attack funded by taxpayers.
This is denied by Finance Minister Grant Robertson, but National's Amy Adams had a point when she asked in Parliament on Thursday: "Does it count as explaining the recommendations for Sir Michael Cullen to make statements describing the Opposition, and I quote, as 'salivating like a bunch of guard Alsatians from the German army in World War II'?"
Ms Adams said that must surely fall into the category of a political attack, and it was difficult to argue otherwise.
Mr Robertson, answering her question, didn't try.
"Sir Michael Cullen is responsible for the words that he uses. A phrase comes to mind: 'If the shoe fits'," he replied.
He got away with it.

Some months ago, Fortinet published a new list of Botnets Applications supported.
Frequently, more and more infected hosts are including in Botnets Networks. Fortinet has developed a new application's signatures in order to trying to avoid that the infected PCs (called Zombies) contact with the Command & Control Server.
Today, this is the known botnet list by Fortigate:
Agobot.Phatbot, Asprox, BlackEnergy, Bredolab, CMultiLoader, Chapro, Citadel, Cridex, DHL, Danmec.Asprox, Darkness, Dexter, DirtJumper , DistTrack, Duqu, ET, Eleonore.Web.Exploit, FakeSkype, Festi, Flame, Gbot, Gootkit, Gozi, Gumblar, Hiloti, IRC, Illusion, Imrabot, Jeefosance , Katusha, Koobface, LOIC, LOIC.IRC, Lethic , LoL, MacOS.Flashback, MachBot, Mariposa, MoneyBack, Morto, Murofet.CC, Night.Dragon, Pbbot, Phatbot , Pushdo, Qakbot, Ramnit, SDBot , SSHDkit Botnet, Sasfis, Sisron, Smoke, SpyEye, Storm.Krackin, Storm.Worm, T3C4I3, Tedroo, Torpig.Mebroot, Ursnif, VBCF, VertexNet, Vilsel, Virut, Vundo, Waledac, Webwail.Audio.Captcha, Yahoo.Messenger.Worm, Zeroaccess, Zeus
How can we avoid that with Fortigate Firewalls?
First of all, you need to create an Application Sensor in UTM Profiles. We named the Sensor "Botnet":
You can select other applications, in this case, only we've selected Category Botnet and anction Block.
Then, It's must apply this sensor in the general rule. For example:
Now, you are denying callbacks sessions to a C&C Servers.
If one of your computers are infected, you could see the firewalls logs.
Comparing Fortigate logs and Snort IDS logs, I can tell you that Fortigate only detect the 10% of Zombies in our networks than Snort IDS can do. Every day, the number of infected PCs detected by Fortigate Firewalls is higher, but at the moment, it's lower than everybody wants...

Before choosing a health insurance, consider these thumb rules:
Thumb Rule 1: Insurance is not investment.
No matter how enticing it is, stay away from insurance plans where you'll get back invested money in some time.
Thumb Rule 2: You are the best judge of your requirements.
Read this article, listen to insurance experts and agents but make sure to use your brain and do your homework to the best of your ability before making a decision to buy a plan. You would agree with me that current global and local markets are more profit driven than are well being driven. Very few people in your life and out of your life would actually care about your well-being as long as they are able to make profit from you. I believe our markets will eventually shift towards well-being by 2040 (read my article- 2024 – Part 1 – Your investment opportunities in the upcoming most painful suffering of humanity )But until then you must take good care of yourself and your loved ones.
Thumb Rule 3: Best time to take insurance is now. More you delay, costlier it would be.
Even if you have a health pan from your employer, I would recommend to have your own health plan. I learned this thumb rule painfully. While I was in India, I had all sorts of insurances from my organization and never felt a need to have any more personal plan. I remember the day, when I had a friendly debate with my manager on this topic. He told me, life is uncertain, you never know if you are going to be in this company forever. If you switch company you would not know if they will have an insurance plan for their employees. And I said to him, there is no company who doesn't give insurance to employees and I'm not going to work for small organization, I'm only going to work for multinational companies. 4 years later I got an opportunity in Singapore in a bigger company and I took it. 6 months latter I had medical expense of $15000 and then I realized that I can only claim for $50. So, my point is that, buy an insurance plan that suit your requirement before it's too late.
Thumb Rule 4: In normal circumstances, limit all of you and your family insurances premium within 10% of your yearly earnings.
Remember thumb rule 1, Insurance is not investment. You do not expect that money to comeback. You are only covering risk of a contingency. Try to cover-up all your insurances including life(term) insurance, health and accident insurance in 5% of your earning and don't go beyond 10%.
Thumb Rule 5: Insurance, savings, investments happen as a result of discipline and habit and has nothing to do with how much you earn.
If you are waiting for your salary to rise before you can start saving, take insurance and do investments, then mark my words you are on wrong boat. Because of lack financial literacy, many celebrities, jack-pot and reality show and game winners lose money faster than they earned it. Losing a million dollar in a day is not a big deal but saving 30% of your earning, is a big deal for someone who earn $1000 /year and also for someone who earn $1000/ second.
Thumb Rule 6: Other than your loved ones nurture good relationship with those individuals also, who could lend you money in emergency.
Insurance in itself is not sufficient. Study shows and Banks know this, that people who regularly call their loved ones and are in touch with them have much lower chances of default. Another study shows that the happiness can be extended most if you have healthy relationships with your family and loved ones.
Keeping these thumb rules in mind now you only need to know 3 jargons of insurance to be able to avoid confusions and make better choices.

Puffiness with monthly
Every time you come home, you just go homeFall from fatigue, your legs look like the legs of an elephant, and in the morning you are disturbed by bags under the eyes, puffiness of the face and in general - you feel like a balloon and every day you swell more and more. The presence of edema is indicated by such signs as traces of gum skin on the skin. In addition, if for 30 seconds to press a finger on the front, the surface of the shin in a place where the bone is as close as possible to the surface of the skin, even with small swelling there is a fossa that does not disappear for a long time. How to help you and what to do is the topic of our today's conversation.
In fact, swelling does not occur from scratch,but are signals that something is wrong with your body. The causes of the disturbance of outflow and fluid retention in tissues are different, in connection with which hydrotestatic edemas are evolved, in which the increase in pressure in the capillary plays a major role; hypoproteinemic, the main cause of which is a decrease in the content of proteins in the blood plasma, especially albumins, and a decrease in the colloid osmotic (oncotic) pressure of the blood plasma with the release of fluid from the bloodstream into the tissue; membrane-gene, the formation of which is due to an increase in the permeability of capillaries due to their toxic damage, inflammatory process, and violation of nervous regulation. It is also accepted to distinguish edema common and local. Common edema develops in diseases of the heart, kidneys, liver, gastrointestinal tract; local edema - with diseases of veins, lymphatic vessels, with allergic inflammation. Local edema is tied to a particular organ or site of the vascular bed, easily distinguishable from general (generalized) edema.
So, in order to proceed to the treatment of edema, you need to identify their cause.
The most common swelling is swelling of the legs. As a rule, slight swelling at the end of the day is not a cause for concern. If you spend the whole day on your feet, from a long standing the pressure in the capillaries of the feet rises - this leads to edema. Will help get rid of the problem - rest with raised legs.
If you have swelling due to consumptionon the eve of a large amount of fluid, from heat or fatigue, then remove foot swelling will help special foot baths. The most effective bath: add sea salt to cool water, at the rate of 2 tbsp. spoons for 1 liter of water, or a few tablespoons of pine extract. Lower your legs for 5-10 minutes, then wipe dry with a towel.
Swelling on the legs may indicate the presence ofother diseases. For example, pronounced edema of the soft tissues of one or both extremities that does not cease for a short period of time (from several hours to several days) is not characteristic of varicose veins. The cause of destruction of one limb is often acute deep vein thrombosis, and two - thrombosis or acute heart failure. (Deep vein thrombosis can be a complication of varicose veins.) The mechanism of edema formation on the legs with chronic heart failure is the same as in varicose veins, but they are characterized by some features: one of the main is a pronounced dependence on the position of the body: if a person retains constant motor activity, the edema is symmetrically located on both legs, mainly on the legs, and in bed patients - in the lumbar region.

Most women a few days before the monthlybegin to swell in your eyes: increase in the volume of the ankle, swollen eyelids, there is a puffiness of the face, swollen gums and joints. Add here drowsiness, bad mood, headache, etc.
For many, after the month ends,pass and all the symptoms. If this does not happen to you, you should contact your doctor for treatment. Among the general recommendations - adjusting the diet in the days preceding the start of menstruation. First try to exclude salted. Salt delays water in the body, and this causes swelling. It's sad, but favorite sweets, flour, melting ice cream and other desserts in your mouth can also cause fluid retention. Although it seems strange, but these days you need to drink more. Filling your body with a lot of liquid, you give an additional load to the kidneys, which begin to wash out excess salt and sugar from the body. Drink as much as possible herbal teas from chamomile and peppermint. These herbs have anti-edematous effect. With edema, you can also take diuretics, but you should not abuse them. It is better to take as a rule to eat a bunch of parsley: it has an excellent diuretic effect, but it does not heavily burden the kidneys. But if edema accompanies you not only on certain days, but become your constant companions, do not delay the visit to the doctor. Edema can be a symptom of cardiovascular disease and venous or renal failure.
Eye swelling is a fairly commonproblem. If the swelling of the eyes disturbs you quite often, then it is worthwhile to consult a therapist. After all, the causes of eye swelling may be allergies, kidney disease or hormonal disorders. Swelling under the eyes can also occur due to excessive intake of fluid before bed, lack of sleep, alcohol abuse, acute or salty foods. All these bad habits are best minimized.
However, if you still found out in the morning swellingunder the eyes, there are several simple ways to quickly cope with the problem. You can make compresses from herbal decoctions. To combat swelling, the eye is brewed with chamomile, dill, sage or parsley, cool the broth, then moisten the cotton swabs in the infusion and apply to the eyes. To prepare a decoction of chamomile, you need - in the fabric (any scarf) to pour a little dry inflorescences of chamomile, roll up the pouch and place them in a bowl with boiling water and leave for 5-10 minutes. Then, the "bags" are still warm, put them on both eyes. This compress is used for very inflamed eyes and swollen eyelids. In addition, with regular use (2-3 times a week), it protects from the early appearance of wrinkles around the eyes. You can also use tea bags with chamomile. If you do not have time, then you can get by with a pair of tea bags refrigerated in a refrigerator or ice slices cooked from water or milk.
If the cause of morning swelling is the stones in thekidneys, you need to contact a urologist. Renal edema is mild, watery, mobile. Most often appear in the morning. The process begins with the face and eyelids, then swells all over the body.
Most often, swelling in healthy pregnant women, nothaving cardiovascular or renal pathology, appear in the second half of pregnancy. Usually swelling of the legs first, then swelling of the hands, abdomen, face can be added. The latter especially upsets the expectant mothers. After all, the face swells most strongly. This is due to the anatomical features of this area. There is a loose fiber, which, like a sponge, is ready to retain liquid.
In the morning swelling on the legs is less noticeable, because at nightthe fluid spreads evenly throughout the body. But in the daytime, when you spend more time on your feet, the fluid descends, accumulating mainly in the area of the ankles, on the back of the feet, on the shins, where the pressure of the finger can cause a slowly leveling fovea. Skin with swelling is pale, tense and smooth.
To know exactly how much fluid accumulatesin the body and is derived from it, you can compare the daily amount of fluid drunk, the urine output and the body weight of the pregnant woman. All these restrictions are justified: the kidneys will not experience increased stress, which means that there will not be edema and blood pressure will not rise. If the future mother wants to make any changes in her diet (restrict herself to certain products or, conversely, add something), first of all, she needs to consult a doctor.
Edema, which is almost always associated withpregnancy, disappear soon after childbirth. After childbirth, a lot of fluid is lost, which accumulated during pregnancy. Women are usually pleasantly surprised when they find out that the swelling of their hands, ankles, legs, neck and face (which are typical for almost every pregnancy) have been gone for several days.
As a result of an insect bite, unusual food andetc. can develop local edema, which is called the edema of Quincke. Quincke's edema is a reaction to the effects of various biological and chemical factors, often of an allergic nature. Named after the German physician Heinrich Quincke, who first described it in 1882. Manifestations of edema Quincke - an increase in the face or part or limb. The color of the skin does not change.
Treatment of edema Quincke includes, in addition to medicines, mandatory detection of allergen or other provoking factors and their elimination.
Angioedema is different from normalhives only the depth of the skin. Edema of considerable size often appears in places with loose fiber - on the lips, eyelids, cheeks, oral mucosa, genital organs. In typical cases, it disappears completely after a few hours (up to 2-3 days). Patients with moderate and severe reactions should be hospitalized.
Usually, the itch and temperature pass with time. Danger of swelling of the face, mucous membranes of mouth and pharynx, causing an attack of suffocation. In this case, you must immediately call the ambulance!
How to deal with edema?
If swelling is not associated with any diseases, the following tips will help:
- reduce fluid intake, especially in the evening, before bedtime
- give up fried food, it is best to cook foods for a couple
- drink a decoction of flaxseed: 4 tsp. seeds, pour 1 liter of water and boil for 15 minutes. The broth is filtered to take in a warm form 1/2 cup 3 times a day for 2-3 weeks.
- engage in physical culture, swimming in particular
- more often in the open air
- give up shoes with high heels
- when swollen face lubricate problem areas with potato juice
Cure with swelling (not associated with serious diseases!) Will help yoga. Here are some exercises that will help disperse the accumulated fluid.
Lie on your back on the floor, under your head is nothing.can not be put. Legs are stretched out, hands on each side, palms pressed to the floor. Slowly raise your legs approximately to an angle of 30 degrees and stay in this position. Pushing your hands away from the floor, raise your legs to the vertical position. Hold it for a few seconds. Continue the climb by tilting the legs "on yourself", tearing off the pelvis from the floor. Grab the lower back with your hands, put your elbows on the floor. Holding the body in your arms, straighten the trunk. The head lies on the floor, the back is straight, legs are stretched vertically upwards. Breathe freely and naturally, preferably - deep enough, but not straining. If you hold your feet vertically - it's difficult, you can tilt them a little "on yourself," but so that the plane of view does not cross your feet. Tilt your legs to your head, remove your hands, put your hands on the floor and, leaning your hands on the floor, very slowly and carefully - the vertebra behind the vertebrae - lower the torso on the floor. Lower your legs and lie on your back, relax. Performing the Viparita-karani-mudra at the development stage is necessary twice a day - in the morning and in the evening, not forgetting about stretching the spine in each movement: the pelvis "leaves" from the shoulders upwards, the head - in the horizontal direction. "Stretching" of the spine, thus, is carried out from the base of the cervical region, tightly, but without the effort pressed to the floor. The vertical axis of the pelvis in the retention phase continues the axis of the spine. Legs are vertical due to bending of the body in the hip joints, and not in the lumbar spine. It is important! It is necessary to master the ascent in the Viparita-karani carefully and very gradually. During the whole exercise, the weak Mula-bandha is preserved. When the exercise is mastered so that staying in the fixation phase for five minutes does not cause difficulties, one can go on to the one-time practice of the Viparita-karani-mudra and perform it only in the morning. When the Viparita-karani-mudra is completed, relaxation in the prone position on the back is mandatory, occupying at least as much time as the fixation phase continued. Do not look at the clock - focus on the subjective sense of time. Breathing during relaxation is natural.
Put the blanket folded four times on the floor. Lie flat on your back so that your legs and feet touch each other. Tighten your knees and stretch your arms next to your body. Keep your shoulders pointing down and push them away from your head. The palms are pointing down. The head and neck should be on the same line with the spine. Remain for a while in this position, breathing normally. Exhale and bend your knees so that they are above the chest. Remain in this position for 5 seconds. Put your palms on the floor and lift your waist and hips, keeping your knees bent and allowing them to go behind your head. Maintain the upper back of the thighs with your hands and lift the trunk. Inhale and exhale. Raise your hips even further and support your back with your hands.
The body from the shoulders to the knees is now perpendicular to the floor. The upper part of the sternum touches the chin. Hold your hands on your back, where the kidneys are located, your thumbs point toward the front of your body, and the rest of your fingers point toward your spine.
Cut the muscles of the buttocks so that the waist and coccyx are left inward, and straighten your legs to the ceiling.
Stay in this final position for 5 minutes,breathing normally. Gradually increase the duration. At the initial stages of training, 2-3 minutes are enough. At the same time: press your palms and fingers into the back to straighten the whole body from the armpits to the socks; Do not let elbows diverge to the sides, hold them as close as possible to each other, directed inwards; set the shoulders back and away from the direction of the head; Move the upper parts of the hands to each other.
Exhale, bend your knees and gradually with a slipping motion, lower down the buttocks and back, without yanking the spine. Remove the palms from the back, lower the buttocks down to the floor and straighten the legs.
Urdhva Prazarita Padasana (posture of stretched legs up)
Bend your legs and press your entire back to the floor. Pull your hands behind your head. Take your shoulders to the floor. On exhalation, extend your legs vertically upwards. Actively lengthen them, pressing the pelvis to the floor. Guide the inner edges of the feet upward. Extend the inner sides of the ankles, pulling the outer. Guide the front parts of the thighs to the basin, evenly pulling the knee cups. Do not hold your breath, keep your head straight. Hold the pose for 1 minute.

"Hear Our Voices" letter writing campaign - week 16
June 21, 2019
Over 100 letters have been collected by project Foster Power to create the "Hear Our Voices" letter display and educate professionals and others with decision-making power about the importance of foster youth voice.
To help amplify youth voice, project Foster Power is partnering with the CO4Kids campaign and CDHS to post one letter a week on the CO4Kids Campaign child welfare blog through the end of May - Foster Care Awareness Month.
This week's letter reads:
Dear Adult,
During my care there were multiple people in my lives that would listen and I did feel like my voice was heard. This made me feel that my voice mattered and I felt like that I had a say about where my life was going and my siblings. My foster parents were great (and still are although I'm not in their care anymore). They would listen to my concerns and we would even troubleshoot together. During my time in foster care, I had two different social workers, both of which agreed with me when I or my siblings faced any problems and gave it their best effort to solve the issues. There were times that I needed a reminder that it's not them that makes the decisions, but it's someone much higher up than them. I also was able to talk to my Chafee worker about problems I was having and whatever my social worker couldn't help with she could.
It's important to be heard because your voice and everybodies voice matters, no matter who you are you need someone there to listen. I know that my voice is powerful and worth being heard because it can make a change. Don't be afraid to speak up. What's the worst they can say? That they don't agree with you? In the end at least you were heard and you fought to be heard and fought for a change. Being heard makes you feel empowered through these things and especially if you voice did make a difference.
The advice that I have for adults who want to listen is to find the time in the day to do so and to make sure they feel heard and do what you can to help them with their problems or to at least compromise.
From, A Young Person Who Matters
Ways to support youth voice
Spread the word about our Foster Youth Rights document - created by and for youth – taking Colorado statutes/rules and translating them into youth-friendly language. Distribute these far and wide!!
Follow the best practice recommendations developed by our members to instruct professionals on how to talk with youth about these rights. Feel free to share with colleagues. Invite our youth to train your organizations directly on this work!
Invite project Foster Power to train the youth you serve directly on their rights! Youth rights are only effective if young people know about them! We have been taking our Youth Rights training on the road and recently worked with youth in Adams and Jefferson counties. Usually, these youth trainings are about an hour. Let us know if there may be opportunities to meet with youth in your community.
Display "Hear Our Voices" letters in at your office! These letters have been displayed at public libraries, coffee shops, CASA offices, child welfare training centers, and counties offices. If your organization would like to host the "Hear Our Voices" letter display at your organization or want to learn more about the work of project Foster Power, please email email@example.com.

Betsy Fordyce, Esq. is the director of the youth empowerment and legal advocacy program at the Rocky Mountain Children's Law Center, a CO4Kids Campaign Partner.
