I can't believe we're already saying farewell to January. It's always such a strange month to me. It both moves slow in comparison to the hustle and bustle of December, while also disappearing faster than Max can gobble a bowl full of kibble. It seems like I never accomplish everything I intended, but that's life, right? Having plans and to-do's, then being flexible enough to adapt to change and opportunity. Sometimes I am really good at this and other times I can be a bit stubborn about change. Work in progress, thy name is Tanya.
How My Current Money Mindset Kept Me From Winning $1.5 Billion
The largest Powerball jackpot in history probably seems like old news today, but it led to a huge money mindset a-ha for me that I'd like to share with you today. Let's journey back to a couple weeks ago: the record-breaking Powerball jackpot was the talk of the town. People daydreamed about what they would do if they won, while others scolded us for being stupid and wasting money on lottery tickets and false hopes. I generally don't play the lottery and you can likely guess the couple times I did — when the jackpots were huge. I always bought my ticket with no expectation of winning and went merrily on my way when I didn't. But this jackpot was different.
Honoring Martin Luther King, Jr
Today we celebrate the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. A man who did so much to advance the civil rights movement, and I wonder what Dr. King would think if he was alive today. Would he be surprised that nearly 50 years after his assassination that there was still so much unrest and work to be done? I'm not sure if he would be surprised but probably a bit sad and still 100% committed to seeing equality.
DIY Pore Strips: A Cost Effective and Easy Way to Remove Blackheads
Every month I plan to feature one DIY post on a variety of topics from beauty, home-cleaning, decorating and more. I have no problem buying quality products that I love, but I also enjoy experimenting with homemade versions too and seeing what I can create with my own two hands. Sometimes, the retail product is superior and other times, the DIY version is the clear winner in both results and cost. In this instance, the DIY pore strips beat the store-bought strips and cost a fraction of the price to make too. Win-Win.
7 Ways I'm Choosing to Live My Best Life
I never watched The Oprah Show, but I LOVE her magazine. One thing she often talks about is living your best life. Your best life. It sounds amazing, right? My best life would be a little glamorous with elegant dinner parties, walks on the beach, snuggling with Max while I read and a closet full of stylish clothes in a size that feels good. The dream is so alluring but always seems out of reach, especially when I play the comparison game. I've spent too much time comparing my life to others or worrying about what they think versus creating the life I want for myself. One of my resolutions this year is to live my best life on my terms.
Know Thyself: Goal Success in 2016 and Beyond
We're almost through the first week of 2016. Here are the headlines in my world: I've been sick and el nino brought rain to California. In a nutshell, it has been both a good and rough start. And you know what? I'm completely okay with a mixed bag because that's life, baby! Life is never all good or bad. It's a mixture of both, and we get to choose which side of the coin we want to dwell on. I'm choosing to focus on the good. How about you?

- Curriculum
Curriculum in Senior High School Affairs is based on Basic Education Core Curriculum K to 12. The Curriculum K to 12 Basic Education Program is the flagship program of the Department of Education in its desire to offer a curriculum which is attuned to the 21st century.
- Teaching plan related
Teaching plan or lesson plan is a teacher's detailed description of the course of instruction, or 'learning trajectory' for a lesson. Teaching plan also as teacher's guide includes the goal (what the students are supposed to learn), how to reach the goal (method, procedures), and the way to measuring how well the goal was reached (test, homework, worksheet).
Senior High School Affairs has teaching plan for each subject. In mathematic major, well-planned lessons or teaching plan include student activity and worksheet focused on the conceptual learning goal. Mathematic teachers should capitalize on the importance of mathematic in everyday life to engage the students. Teaching plan of mathematic includes topic, learning standards, indicators, core content, objectives (knowledge, learning/thinking process skill, content), instructional activity, materials and resources, assessment and evaluation (expected outcomes, instruments/tasks, criteria), student activity, worksheet, reflection (achievement, problem found, suggestions), suggestions from class supervisor, and suggestions from course supervisor.

Learning Landscapes on a National Stage
Learning Landcapes at the Forefront of National Conversation on Bringing Kids and Land Together
"This is an historic moment - there's a growing momentum to bring environmental education and land trusts together. The time is ripe."
These are the comments of Learning Landscapes Coordinator Rob Wade after FRLT's Learning Landscapes program was featured at the 2013 National Land Conservation Conference, the nation's largest gathering of land conservation leaders, in New Orleans in September.
Executive Director Paul Hardy and Learning Landscapes Coordinator Rob Wade led the 4-hour seminar designed to inspire and offer practical assistance for land trusts around the country to partner with local schools to engage children in place-based learning and stewardship education.
Participants and seminar leaders alike were energized by the growing momentum to use lands conserved by land trusts to grow a new generation of land stewards and conservationists. With your help, we're already doing it here in the Feather River Country, and we're seeing the promise for similar efforts across the country.
Here's what a few participants had to say:
"We really enjoyed your presentation. Rob and Paul were very informative. Thank you for all you are doing to foster our young naturalists!" ~Peninsula Open Space Trust Staff
"One of the reasons Learning Landscapes is great is because they conserve land next to schools. But the REAL story is being able to partner with talented people in your community, a motivated school district, and teachers. We can get so much farther by collaborating. I give a lot of credit to FRLT - people in the room who were on the fence about educating the next generation left realizing they don't have to do it all themselves. There are quality, talented people in your community and motivated educators. Look for them!" ~ Ryan Olson, Executive Director of Muddy Sneakers, North Carolina
Learning Landcapes featured in National Journal - Read the Learning Landscapes Story!
Learning Landscapes was also recently featured in Children, Youth, and Environments, one of the world's leading environmental education publications, published by University of Colorado. It tells the Learning Landscapes story from birth to today. Read the article, written by Rob Wade, here: Learning Landscapes: Nurturing a Child's Relationship to Land and Learning.
Did you know that Learning Landscapes is a one-of-a-kind program? What makes it so unique?
1. Learning Landscapes conserves outdoor classrooms right next to public schools, so teachers and students can walk there on a daily basis. Why does that matter? No field trip budget or buses required to have outstanding outdoor learning experiences. AND when students learn from and care for the same plot of land year after year, they not only develop a relationship with the land, but they also can develop a robust stewardship ethic.
2. Learning Landscapes trains and supports teachers as outdoor educators. Rather than offering one-time outdoor learning "events" directly for children, when teachers are empowered as the primary educators, they incorporate outdoor learning into their daily activities across the curriculum.
3. Learning Landscapes is all about collaboration. Each contributes what they are good at. As a land trust, we partner with 3 local school districts, 14 different landowners, 100+ dedicated teachers, and incredible volunteers and community partners like Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship, Plumas Audubon, Feather River College, the Feather River Coordinated Resource Management, and generous members like you.
YOU are helping to make it happen. Thank you!

This is an update to my earlier post on Etanercept Treatment which promises to reverse the stroke effects even after years of occurrence. In our search for immediate cure and recovery we tend to easily believe in new offers just to feel better again and get back to our normal physical and mental state. I have captured some comments on this Etanercept thing after posting it on several support groups I joined and I'm glad I did, otherwise I might not have gotten this useful information to share to everyone. I just do not understand why there are people who try to take advantage of our already frustrating and difficult situation. Let us just be vigilant when it comes to treatment and medications offered to us.
Here are the captured comments:
note: I have to cover the names of the people who commented to protect their identity as they are private individuals.
Here's are some reviews of Dr. Edward L. Tobinick – who claims to be doing the study on the Perispinal Etanercept treatment:
– by John S. on Nov 9th, 2014
Everything that the people said in the negative reviews below are true. This man is taking advantage of people that would be willing to do anything to have the pain taken away or have a little hope put back into their recovery. I took my mom there who had a stroke 3 years ago. He showed no concern about her medical history… only our finances. I cried my eyes out when I left that office. He is really good at giving people hope, but thank God we were able to see right through him. DO NOT GO THERE AND DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEY… THEY ARE ONLY THERE TO ROB YOU BLIND. I'M SURPRISED HE IS STILL AROUND
– I took my father to Dr. Tobinick after reading an article in the Sun Sentinel about his "breakthrough" treatment for stroke patients. After sitting in a conference room watching a video of the "miracles" resulting from this treatment, we waited several hours before Dr. Tobinick told us that my dad was the perfect candidate for treatment. They video tape the entire treatment like something revolutionary is happening while applauding the changes they see in the patient, when in fact, the treatment had done nothing to improve my dad's condition! Dr. Tobinick then suggested that my father return for a second treatment so he can reap the full benefits of this revolutionary procedure. Each treatment costs $5,000! In addition, Dr. Tobinick does not even have a background in neurology…he is a dermatologist. This is a complete scam.

Keep them coming
Loyalty, commitment, satisfaction… the reasons that people use a brand time and time again are many. Customers are becoming increasingly fickle, however, and research into why they return is of increasing importance.
Brand loyalty is a term that is used far more often than it is analysed. It might seem that marketers' own liking for the phrase comes closer to devotion than loyalty. But talk to a market research specialist and it soon becomes clear that there is more to this apparently simple concept than meets the eye.
Taylor Nelson Sofres (TNS) director Roger Sant explains that "loyalty" can be used directly in relation to behaviour, but "commitment" is the preferred term when talking about underlying psychological attitudes. He cites as an example a mortgage, where there are various barriers to exit, including possible financial penalties. "This might make the homeowner loyal without being committed," he points out.
Potentially muddying the waters further, Sant brings up the idea of customer satisfaction, again subtly distinct from commitment or loyalty. He says: "You could ask whether you need to be satisfied with a brand to be committed to it. On the other hand, you can be satisfied with a product or service but still be willing to switch to another." In fact, he argues, all three concepts are important, and market research offers the opportunity to understand and analyse them.
Sant says: "Some consumers tend to be driven by service, others by product, still others by price, and some, maybe, by overall brand image." Research can help to categorise consumers as being committed or uncommitted to a brand, and to pinpoint what drives their attitudes.
A project of this sort was carried out for Lloyds TSB, he says, with tens of thousands of questionnaires being sent out and followed up, with very positive results. "This was a solid example of working to understand commitment and what drives it," says Sant. "It meant that follow-up communications could target different people, depending on their level of commitment and what they were driven by. It also allowed the bank to track consumer behaviour over time."
Time for action
In terms of customer satisfaction, bo
th direct consumer experience and communications from the brand-owner are important. The way that research findings are followed up to cement customer loyalty and commitment is also of vital importance. Sant points to one research project for a major UK retailer, which found that queueing was the one feature of their in-store experience that consumers most disliked. The chain responded by taking on and training more staff to open more checkouts, and only then made sure that consumers knew about this initiative through a communications campaign.
Complicating the terminology still further, Carlson Marketing differentiates between commitment – which may be compromised for practical, functional reasons – and closeness to the brand. Planning director Mike Oliver says: "The more you get people to interact, even if – in an extreme case – it's to make a complaint, which is handled well, the closer the consumer will feel to the brand."
These principles hold true for both online and offline channels, says Oliver, as do the dangers of over-promising and under-delivery. As he puts it: "It's better to under-promise and over-deliver."
In broader terms, however, there are large differences in the loyalty issues faced by companies in the online and offline environments. He says: "If an online brand, such as Amazon, works well, the consumer will keep using it. Loyalty is based on technical excellence." In research, he says, online-only banks such as Egg and Smile score more highly on criteria such as reliability and friendliness than do their high street competitors.
TNS' experience bears out the idea that online loyalty works differently to its offline equivalent. "People are mostly concerned with website design and 'stickiness'," explains Arno Hummerston, head of TNS Interactive Solutions Worldwide. In many ways, however, loyalty is to the channel rather than to the specific website; even when a promotion takes a customer to a particular site, they can still visit two or three additional sites in a matter of seconds. "If you're talking about selling online, you do have to get people to be loyal to your website," says Hummerston. "But people tend to check out availability and pricing at a number of sites."
Hummerston believes there are crucial differences in the way that purchasing decisions are arrived at online and offline: customer service and ease of use will often count for more than price. "If a consumer wants to buy a CD, they can go to certain sites, pay £9 for any chart CD, and receive it a week later," he says. "At other sites, they will pay £13 but get it delivered the next day. Online brands have to understand the consumer in a completely different way and, above all, to understand how people use the website. At what point do people leave the site? When it gets to the page that confirms delivery times?"
The what, not the why
As is the case with EPOS data from bricks-and-mortar outlets, access to Internet log files can tell a website-owner a lot about what is happening, but not necessarily about why it is happening. "They might be able to see that people tend to leave on a given page, but they can't tell why," Hummerston points out.
Log-file analysis is generally carried out by technical staff, who do not necessarily have the marketing skills to understand consumer behaviour. Market researchers, on the other hand, can employ usability tests and website evaluations, says Hummerston. But to evaluate online shopping, he says, companies really need to interview people with direct experience.
Oliver has a similar perspective on the crucial elements that research adds to consumer data, online or offline. "The client has the transactional information, but still doesn't know the triggers for purchase," he says. "Our task is to find a pattern to disloyalty and then to plug the hole."
Patterns of loyalty and disloyalty to technology-based products are more similar than might be expected to those exhibited with respect to traditional brands. Research International (RI) has carried out self-funded research into the mobile phone market in several European countries. According to associate director of marketing sciences Bruce Bogle, the aim was to identify what factors have been instrumental in retaining customer loyalty in the current generation of mobile phones, and then to ascertain whether the same criteria would apply for the next generation.
The urgency in all this, says Bogle, is that having paid out so much for 3G licences, mobile operators need to get early-adopters on board as quickly as possible and to speed up the process of reaching the mass market. But even without the need to recoup this huge investment, he says, the slowdown in the market for handsets – most sales now are of replacements rather than being first-time sales – would still require better-focused customer loyalty strategies.
Bogle says: "Given that this is seen as being a technology-driven market, you might expect companies which are perceived as innovators to have the edge." In fact, he says, the creation of an emotional bond between consumer and brand and a strong heritage as a provider seem to count for much more. In this, he says, technology brands are no different from more traditional brands. "The evidence suggests that many of the brands that have been successful in building a niche along emotional lines will continue to do so," he says.
It is this deeper identification with a mobile brand, says Bogle, which helps to make the fast-moving nature of the market acceptable to mainstream consumers. "People will stay with a brand if they think that the company is not just some hi-tech cowboy, throwing innovations at them now when they could just wait six months for the next best thing," he says.
It's not always the obvious
Even when it comes to the role of technology itself in customer retention, the obvious answers are not always correct. Getting to market first will not necessarily give a mobile company the edge, says Bogle. Nor does the most complex technology always win over large numbers of consumers.
What should, perhaps, most concern brands – online and offline, technical and non-technical – is a general decline in loyalty which research has been tracking over several years. "Disloyalty is becoming the norm, especially among younger and more affluent consumers," says Oliver. This trend has been confirmed by the annual Relationship Builder research project carried out in conjunction with NOP. There may be no easy answers, but using communication and interaction to give consumers the sense that they are recognised as individuals is a step in the right direction, he says.
Oliver and Bogle will present their findings at a British Market Research Association conference in London on October 1.
The Research Show
The Research Show, backed by Marketing Week, takes place at London's Olympia from October 1 to 3, allowing market research clients and providers to find out more about latest research intelligence and see new products and services in action.
Many leading European and US market research companies are exhibiting at this year's event. The popular seminar programme has 27 sessions to choose from, designed by an independent consultant specifically for the show. Leading clients and agencies will be passing on their expertise.

At night
D300 17-55mm ISO 800 f5.6 2 sconds
The Fortress used to be lit up at night and the reflections added to its beauty. This was shot after a dinner on the deck and the camera was rested on the dinning table. I used the Live View to frame the shot. The angle was a bit crooked so had to straighten it and bring out details in a few dark areas. There is another shot in the gallery but I selected this as it has less of foreground and the people are bit more visible.

I've googled this error a ton but haven't found anything relevant yet. I'm in an AS 3.0 class (as in a room with people and a teacher and text books and lectures .. not a class file) and we're all getting the same errors.
Basically we all have to create a file with 10 buttons. Each button needs to go to a new frame. On that frame we have a separate actionscript 3.0 code that does something (for this question, I do not think it matters... each script on each frame has to show off a different AS 3.0 code that proves we've learned something).
So let's say we have 11 frames. Frame 1 has the navigation and the intro. Frames 2-11 each have a stop(); and a new code.
So each frame has different content (except for the background and navigation buttons which are consistent on all frames).
The problem is that on one frame we have an ENTER_FRAME on a movie clip that points to a specific function. On that particular frame it works fine but once you navigate to a new frame on the timeline - the function continues to run in the background and we get the "#1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference" error. (I assume it's because on the new frame the content from the previous frame no longer exists. By content I mean the movie_clips/buttons/etc..)
Once the functions start to run on top of each other in the background - the entire SWF just devolves and breaks down because it's trying to do too many things at once.
removeListener seems like the obvious answer but on each new frame it generates an error because it can't see the content from the previous frame on which the Listener was added. Putting it on the navigation button codes doesn't seem to work either.
Any theoretical suggestions?

Painting depicts the scene of Sun Simiao, one of the great medical sages in Chinese history, tasting Chinese herb plants. He composed books with 7300 recipes for medicines.
Both Western medicine and Chinese medicine deal with the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses related to organs.
Is the heart in Western medicine, however, the same as the heart in Chinese medicine? What about the other organs?
In as early as the Han Dynasty (206 B.C.–A.D. 220), the philosophical thinking of a divine force that "unites heaven and mankind" led to the belief that the human body not only corresponds to but also communicates with our mother nature and the universe. Thus, the understanding of the human body differs starkly when comparing the East and West.
Basic human anatomy is not neglected in Chinese medicine, as evidenced in the Huangdi Neijing, or the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon which also studied anatomy through dissecting cadavers. But, what traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes is the study of the functions of our internal organs which is not based on their anatomy. The following is a brief introduction and comparison of the concept of internal organs in Chinese and Western medicine.
Heart, Liver, Kidney, Spleen, and Lung
In Chinese medicine, the heart governs the spirit, willpower, and the blood; thus, in ancient Chinese works we rarely find terms such as brainstorm or state of mind, but terms such as heart thinking or state of heart. In modern Western medicine, the heart is a circulatory system organ. Anatomy shows the heart as a mere blood pump. In this regard, the connection between the heart and human's mental activities are unthinkable and inconceivable in the West. Yet, some heart transplant recipients have changed their personalities, habits, and even ways of thinking into those of the organ donors. This phenomenon indicates that the traditional Chinese theory on the heart does have merits, though it is beyond the understanding of modern medicine. How did the ancient Chinese discover that the heart governs one's personality, spirit, and will? This topic will be explored in another Middle Land article. In short, traditional Chinese medicine theories are proven to be correct.
In Chinese medicine the liver governs the blending and channeling of the qi, known as the intrinsic life energy. The liver stores blood and determines one's emotions and feelings at a certain time. The energy flow through the tendons (or jin) is controlled by the liver too. Its energy opens up at the eyes. Therefore, to treat depression, eye-related illnesses, and nail abnormalities (nails are believed to belong to the tendons by traditional Chinese medicine) one should examine the liver first. In modern Western medicine, the liver is just an organ for digestion, detoxification, and secretion of bile, and it is described to be a chemical plant inside the body. Thus, some of the chemical components of modern Western medicine damage the liver.
The kidney under the traditional Chinese medical systems is believed to be the foundation of prenatal constitution. It stores the life essence acquired from one's parents and from the universe. The kidney is also in charge of human sexual and reproductive functions. Moreover, the energy from the kidney governs marrow and bones, and opens up at the ear. Hence, it relates closely to male impotency, infertility, tinnitus, hearing loss, and arthritics. While in modern Western medicine, the kidney is merely an excretory organ; it secretes urine and adrenaline which secretes testosterone.
The spleen is believed to be the foundation of a person's post-natal constitution; it governs the digestion and the transformation of the essence of food and water one takes in. Specifically, the spleen grinds the foods down, refines them into nutrition and energy, and then transports them to different parts of the body. Hence the spleen governs the four limbs and the muscles, and its energy flow opens up at the mouth. Thus the condition of the spleen should be taken into consideration when treating muscular atrophy, myasthenia gravis, and loss of taste. This understanding differs greatly from modern Western medicine, which views the spleen as part of the human body's immune system—producing white blood cells to battle bacteria and viruses that have entered the body.
Both Western and Chinese medicine believe the lung is an organ that governs breathing. Ancient Chinese doctors believed that the lung also governs the qi's ability to elevate and descend as well as its circulation around the body. Moreover, the lung also governs hair and skin, and opens up at the nose. Therefore, treating skin and nose abnormalities requires treating the lung first.
Of course, there are also the concepts and functions of the stomach,intestines, bladder, gallbladder, and other organs in which Western and Chinese medicine take very different points of view. They will be discussed in future articles.
Contrast of Ancient Chinese Medicine and Modern Western Medicine
From the above description, we can see that the theories of Chinese and Western medicines are in great contrast regarding the understanding of human organs. The concept of an organ in Western medicine is the anatomical result of the real substance of the organ. The study of the organs' functions is based on the logical analysis of their anatomy, an approach that is identical to all modern scientific methodology. In Chinese medicine, the concept of an organ goes beyond the organ's anatomy. Rather, it emphasizes on the human body's functions and their relationship with the other organs. Chinese medicine divides the human body's functions into different systems that correspond to different organs. The study of functions is rooted in traditional Chinese philosophy and Taoist cultivation theory. They belong to a fundamentally different life-science system.
For example, in Chinese medical theories, there is a saying that the liver on the left and the lung on the right. A lot of people would say that this is scientifically untrue, because the basic anatomical location of the organs is wrong. But although Chinese medicine puts less emphasis on anatomy, it would not have mistaken the fact that the lung has two pulmonary lobes, one on the left and the other on the right side of the chest. But why would traditional Chinese medicine consider that both lobes are on the right? Actually, what the saying really means is that the liver and the lung are opposite in qi's vertical circulation. Thus, the liver governs the upward movement of qi, and upward is always yang in nature. In Chinese philosophy, left is Yang; thus, the liver is considered on the left side. Similarly, the lung governs qi's downward movement, and since downward is yin in nature, and the right side is considered yin. Therefore, the lung is considered right side.
If a Chinese medical doctor in today's China tells a patient the diagnosis of a liver problem, he may not understand it, especially if the physical examination of the liver shows nothing wrong. Nowadays most Chinese people do not understand traditional Chinese medicine anymore because this system of medicine was almost eradicated due to communist government's attempt to destroy true Chinese culture. The emphasis was then placed on Western medicine and modern scientific principles and methodologies.
Judging Chinese medicine by modern Western medicine standards resembles judging Chinese paintings by renaissance-style Western oil painting's standards of realism with the painters use of light contrast, proportion, focus, and perspective. Western paintings show the spirit of the objects by their realistic forms, while Chinese painting express the spirit directly and thus place less importance to whether the objects are depicted in their realistic forms. They are just two different systems of art; one should not use one system to criticize the other. Similarly, this is also true for the two systems of traditional Chinese medicine and modern Western medicine.
Some people often mock how shallow Chinese medicine is, but an increasing body of evidence from scientific research confirms what is truly shallow is our mockery. Rooted in ancient culture, traditional Chinese medicine has formed a complete and unique system of thinking. We may not fully understand this system yet. Mounting evidence has prompted us to review this ancient culture as well as the enlightenment and wisdom embodied therein.

After just moving to FTTC I'm currently using the supplied OR ECI modem along with a TP-Link wr841n router.
Last night I had a bit of a shock when my children started complaining that iPlayer and YouTube were "useless"! They were right - unwatchable with continuous buffering.
After playing around today I've found that it's the wifi at fault.
Connecting up an ancient Netgear WG602 Access Point (in the same room as the TP-Link) and everyone's happy again! I've just tested 4 versions on iPlayer at the same time going full blast around the house and all worked well
I would have thought that the newer TP-Link with a better spec would have performed better. I tried turning off 'N' to make it more like the old Netgear with no improvement.
Anyone got any tips of how to improve the TP-Link wifi?
I'm going to relocate it more centrally when I can (cables on order) but can't see how it would perform worse than my old kit.
After moving to FTTC I've now ended up with 3 bits of kit powered on all the time rather than the 1 - not very green this new world

Fripur concentrates 30 per cent of frozen fish exports. (Photo: Fripur)
Wednesday, August 06, 2014, 23:50 (GMT + 9)
The largest fish processing company in the country, Fripur SA, has requested the Court to hold its voluntary creditors meeting due to the complex financial situation experienced for several months.
A company source told the newspaper El País that the owners' intention is to continue operating as usual and "ensure equal treatment of all creditors on the basis of the restructuring of its liabilities."
Fripur was founded in 1976 and currently employs about 1,100 people. The company accounts for 30 per cent of frozen fish exports and produces 10 per cent of the products consumed in Uruguay.
According to Carlos Fagundez, leader of the National Union of Seafarers and Allied, Fripur´s decision "is not surprising" because for months the sector has been aware of the critical situation.
In addition, he said that "so far", the Union has not been informed whether Fripur´s creditors meeting affects labour sources.
For his part, in statements made to the same newspaper, the head of the National Directorate of Aquatic Resources (DINARA), Daniel Gilardoni, acknowledged that the company is partly working as a result of economic disadvantages that have been dragged on for two or three years. And he confirmed that entrepreneurs' intention "is to continue operating" despite the creditors meeting process.
"The firm's situation was serious and the creditors meeting request confirms that situation," he pointed out.
Fripur's total debt would amount to about USD 70 million, and two-thirds of it corresponds to what is owed to two banks: Banco Republica (46 million) and Banco Santander (USD 4.9 million).
Despite being aware of the fact that the Uruguayan fisheries sector is not undergoing a positive period, Gilardoni stressed that one can not think that "due to the problem experienced by Fripur the fishing activity comes to an end in Uruguay," and stated that the industry is viable and has the potential to grow.
Last year, the fishing industry faced a four-month strike that paralyzed the fleet. This problem, coupled with the price impact and competitiveness loss in the

In recent years, it seems that so many different labels are put onto children. One such label would be the ADD/ADHD label. Children with ADD/ADHD are in more ways that not similar to every other child. Children with an attention deficit want to be doing well and what is expected of them; it often times just too difficult for them to navigate. Often times ADD/ADHD can be managed through behavioral modifications, without the use of medication. Here are some strategies that can be used both at home and in the classroom. .
It is important that both teachers and families remain positive towards children with attention deficit issues, remembering they are Jesus' lambs who need just as much love and attention as every other child, and in my cases, they need it even more! Parents and teachers need to remember that attention deficit is a disorder and not children trying to be disrespectful in most cases. It's important that teachers and parents are willing and able to make compromises and learn to choose our battles.
Routine is very important for children dealing with attention deficit disorders. While all children thrive knowing routine and structure, this is very important for children with ADD/ADHD. Use of times, picture schedules, being organized, and keeping things simple all will help a child with an attention deficit to focus. Along the same lines, children with an attention deficit also need to know and understand clear and concise expectations. They do better with single step directions given in a clear and concise way. It's also imperative to reinforce positive behavior. Have clear rules at home and be consistent in the way you deal with rule infractions at home.
Establish a homework routine at home. Make sure to have a quiet place that is free from distraction where they are able to work on homework. It would be beneficial for the children to have this homework time happen at the same time and in the same place each day, as much as possible. Focus on their effort in their work and less on their grades.
Children with ADHD need movement frequently, both at home and in the classroom. Make sure there are times available for them to get up and move and get their wiggles out. It is beneficial to rotate between a still activity and a movement activity. Sleep is also very important for these children. Develop good unwinding time and good sleep habits and routines.
Often times children with ADD/ADHD also struggle with making friends/building relationships as they don't understand many social cues. As a parent, role play different situations with them, coaching them on how to deal with the different scenarios. Watch how they interact with their peers and continue to coach them as they go. Remember to offer positive reinforcements for good behaviors.
While parenting a child with attention deficit is not always easy, it's imperative to remember that no child is perfect, and your child has been created by a loving God who made them just how they should be. Jesus took all of our imperfections to the cross and loves us despite of our flaws. Remember to pray for your children, whether they have an attention disorder or not. Pray for guidance as you seek to parent in a godly way, training your child up in the ways of the Lord. Spend time in His Word daily–for it is there that we find peace, comfort and strength that only our Savior can give. Love that precious child, and do the best parenting you can do–our Lord will bless your efforts!

Top 10 Ways to Recognise a WitchDuring the 1600s, many women in Europe and America were accused of being witches. One of the most common ways of telling if a woman was a witch was to bind her right thumb to her left toe and throw her in a river. If she floated, she would be found guilty and executed. If she sank, she would be found innocent, but of course she died anyway.
Witches dress and look just like normal women. A witch might even live next door to you, or work in your local shop, or be the headmistress of your school. Luckily, there are ways to spot a witch. Here is a list of some ways to spot a witch.
Also, this list is a joke.
The Top Ten Ways to Recognise a Witch
The gloves worn by witches are extremely different from human gloves, so you will be able to easily find out. She may take the extra mile of precaution by hiding her gloves in her clothes or something, which you have to watch out for - styLIShT
Don't you see what you're finding?
I have claws in hiding.
If you mention this to her, instead of getting insecure and flustered, she will boldly tell you to ignore it. - styLIShT
This, or one of those weird pointy hats that you see in movie witches. But actual witches are probably smart enough to wear good sturdy wigs. - styLIShT
You could stick your finger inside her mouth and see if your finger is blue. If it's blue, you'll be attacked by her witchcraft, if it's colourless, she's a human and you'd probably get slapped in the face. - styLIShT
All witches should be smart enough to conceal this, some high-end witches would perfectly conceal this with long capes and other material like fake toes. - styLIShT
This depends on the witch's emotions. But this kinda stuff doesn't happen to normal people, so you could mess with her emotions to see if the black dot in the middle of her eye changes colour or not - styLIShT
Just sneak up a bobby pin on any of their exposed skin that is not easily visible in her vision range, because if she sees you pricking her, she'd act as if she's in pain. - styLIShT
Yes, they go commando on you once their identity is on the verge of getting exposed, it doesn't matter if you do it in the presence of a crowd or not. She will make sure to destroy the person who exposed their identity, even if it means her death - styLIShT
They are usually smart enough to conceal the marks, but some of them might be a little loose in the head and give it away - styLIShT
There is a 69% chance that this person is a witch even if one of their family member is thought of being a witch. The probability regarding this matter is relatively high and oddly specific. - styLIShT

Hello there
I have another video to share today that shows the process behind this Christmas Card I made.
I love the partial embossing and the beautiful woodland feel.
Hope you enjoy the video.
Happy crafting!
Today's card for Fab'n'Funky is a Christmas card using the lovely Paper shelter digital image.
I coloured the image quite loosely using water colours and then did a partial die cut to get the circle.
For the background I embossed the card using the Woodland folder and them added some distress ink with a stencil brush.
This is not my usual kind of image but I do like how this came out.
Happy crafting!
Hi everyone
Today we have a new challenge over at Fab'n'Funky Challenges. The challenge is to use three or more layers on your card.
The challenge is sponsored by. …
I chose to use an image from a stamp set by Hobby which I watercoloured. I tore the image out leaving rough edges. This is layer number one.
Next I took a piece of corrugated card from my desk and tore that too to give it a rustic look. So this is layer two.
Then I took a piece of cherry cobbler coredinations and embossed it with the Woodland folder and sanded back the raised parts. Layer number three.
Finally I mounted them onto the Kraft card blank and stamped a sentiment onto a piece of torn kraft card and added that.
A lovely simple and rustic looking boys card.
Happy crafting!
Yesterday I shared the first part of the two sheet wonder I made using these jazzy graphic papers. Now time to share how I finished the others.
These four were all added to with the present from Santa's Gifts… a Christmas set that can be used all year round for cute cards if you think carefully.
And these all had the flower from the Bliss set added.
This final one I kept simple as I thought the paper did enough.
Love how these all came out. Nice and jazzy and two sheets of dsp used up!
Happy crafting!
A good friend of mine asked me to make some cards for him… Here is batch number one.
Pretty much an identical pair of cards…
… Some Papermania paper, cherry cobbler cardstock, some early espresso coredinations run through the Woodland embossing folder and sanded back. Then a fabulous stag stamped from a magazine set along with the sentiment.
Then added the die cut Joy from the wreath framelits set… so nice.
Love how elegant this is… and join me again over the next couple of days to see the others I made.
Happy crafting!

There's nothing like tucking into a warm, hearty lunch at your desk in the colder months. Especially when it is of the homemade soup variety. A few weeks ago I decided to try out a chorizo and chickpea soup recipe. It was hearty, wholesome and chunky, it was more of a meal that a soup to me, but it was delicious nonetheless. Whatsmore it was super simple to make, there's nothing like minimal chopping thanks to can opening! It's the kind of soup you make when you can't be bothered to cook properly. Let's face it that's most of the winter, I mean who actually wants to be out from under a blanket pile?!
You Need:
1 400g can of chopped tomatoes
100g Chorizo, diced
140g of Savoy Cabbage
a pinch of dried chilli flakes
400g chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 vegetable stock cube, crumbled
Bread (optional)
To Do:
Add the can of tomatoes and a can of water to a pan on a medium heat.
Whilst this is heating up dice the chorizo and shred the cabbage.
Add all of the remaining ingredients to the pan and simmer for six minutes before serving.
This tastes delicious served with a crusty roll or hot buttered toast.
Now that's a quick and easy soup recipe! Minimal effort, maximum taste. Chorizo adds such a wonderful flavour and texture to soup – I'm now coming up with ways of sneaking it into more dishes!
Let me know if you make this chorizo and chickpea soup recipe and link me up to any of your favourite soup recipes – I'm a woman obsessed with soup!

Organic gardening is known as a hobby and great patience. This hobby can help you grow food that is healthy and pesticide free. Easier said than done, correct, The advice in this article will help you grow your own organic gardener.
Do not cut your lawn close to the bottom. If you leave a bit more height, it will be able to absorb more sun and moisture resulting in a lusher, which makes the grass less prone to drying and other hazards. Short grass on the other hand is more prone to getting dried out and turning brown.
Knee pads are absolute miracle accessories if you work in a gardener's friend when caring for plants low to the ground. Having a good pair of knee pads for gardening can help cushion the knees to provide additional comfort.
A good green garden should start from seeds. The environmentally conscious way to create a new garden is to start with seeds. The plastic used in nurseries often end up in landfills, so it is best to start with the seeds or buy from nurseries who use organic materials in packaging their plants.
You should think about having evergreens that will produce berries into your yard. Some evergreens that will add life to your yard in the wintertime are the American Cranberrybush, Common Snowberry, American Cranberrybush, and American holly.
Learn the appropriate time for each kind of vegetable you plant. Each veggie has its own prime time for harvesting at the peak of flavor. For example, zucchini and baby peas will taste a lot better if you pick them when they are young. Tomatoes, though, taste better the longer they are allowed to ripen on the vine.
Plant items with fall season color in mind.Maple, Beech and Dogwood trees are available in a number of fall colors, and dogwood display colors ranging from dark crimson to light yellow. When selecting shrubs that will be colorful during the fall, consider barberry, barberry, or cotoneaster.
Use smarts when you are watering your garden. Use a soaker hose to save time so that you do not have to water each plant individually with a hose nozzle, or be refilling a watering can constantly. Use low water pressure for your hose so that you do not cause harm to the tender plants. Let your soaker hose run for a while you do other things.
Using plants that all grow to the same length or height will make your bed look uniform.
Coffee grounds are a great mixed in with your soil.Coffee grounds are full of essential nutrients that growing plants need.
Do you prefer to eliminate weeds without using commercial chemicals, Take layers of newspapers and layer them for weed control. Weeds need sunlight in order to grow. The newspaper will block sunlight and weeds because they no longer receive any sunlight. Newspapers tend to break down nicely over time to become part of the compost.You can cover the newspapers with mulch on top for aesthetic reasons.
Organic gardening takes patience and hard work. This hobby makes good use of your land to produce tasty vegetables and fruits. You can be a successful, effective organic gardener by using this information and working hard.

New to Buddhism or meditation? Then you probably have a lot of questions — and here you'll find helpful answers, by way of articles from Lion's Roar and Buddhadharma.
- What do Buddhists believe?
- Is Buddhism a religion?
- Is it okay if I'm not religious?
- Is there an eternal soul in Buddhism?
- What is dharma?
- How do you become a Buddhist?
- How do I study without a teacher or community?
- What Buddhist books should I read?
- How can I get started with meditation?
What do Buddhists believe?
Buddhists have lots of differing beliefs and practices, but there are a few shared principles; these are the fundamental discoveries the Buddha made. Thich Nhat Hanh describes them this way: impermanence, (everything is always changing), no self (nothing has a solid core or soul), and nirvana (peace is freedom from fixed concepts). These are known as the "three marks of existence."
Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche describes these truths in, alternatively, four points, known as "the four seals": all compounded things are impermanent; all emotions are pain; all things have no inherent existence; nirvana is beyond concepts.
Is Buddhism a Religion?
It depends who you ask, and it depends on your definition of "religion," too. For example, we've asked three leading Buddhist thinkers the same question, and they had three different responses. Scholar Charles Prebish answered "Yes," because Buddhism posits a conception of ultimate truth and a path to experiencing that truth. Tibetan Buddhist teacher Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche answered "No," arguing that Buddhism is instead a science of mind. And Zen teacher Joan Sutherland answered "Kind of" — attachment to Buddhism can be religious, but your experience might be different.
The most important answer, of course, is your own — and therefore you might take solace in the fact that whatever your view — religion, psychology, a way of life — if it works for you, you're right.
So it's okay if I'm not religious?
Absolutely. Many people — particularly those who consider themselves "Spiritual But Not Religious" — have found that Buddhist thought and practice enhances and works well within in their lives. Our Editor-in-Chief Melvin McLeod has enumerated the reasons why:
Are You Spiritual But Not Religious? 10 Reasons Why Buddhism Will Enrich Your Path
Is there an eternal soul in Buddhism? What's behind the concept of rebirth?
As Narayan Helen Liebenson explains, "Anatta (not-self) is a central teaching of the Buddha, as is rebirth. How do we put these seemingly contradictory teachings together? The Buddha taught that freedom from samsara, the repetitive round of birth and death, is possible through the understanding of not-self — that nothing whatsoever can be clung to as me or mine. So it could be said that rebirth affects those who cling to a sense of self but ends for those who release such clinging.
As for what is reborn, the Buddha didn't answer this question. All of the teachings guide us toward the ending of suffering; the Buddha seems to have been more interested in helping living beings find their way out of bondage than in theories."
What is dharma?
As Reginald Ray has written, "The Sanskrit word 'dharma' is without doubt the most important and most commonly used term in Buddhism. Among the three jewels of buddha, dharma and sangha in which all Buddhists take refuge, the dharma is pre-eminent." In one sense, Ray explains, it is "the underlying, substratum of reality-of our lives and of our world. It is the ultimate and primordial fact of who and what we are." In a second sense, dharma is phenomena, it "is what is so in our lives, whether we like it or not, whether we wish for it or not, whether we expect it or not." In its third and fourth senses, dharma is considered to be the the Buddhist path itself and, most specifically, the Buddhist teachings that lead us along the path.
How do you become a Buddhist?
If you accept the above principles, you can make a formal commitment to Buddhism in a ceremony called "taking refuge." Because nirvana means giving up ego's futile search for refuge impermanence and no self, the twist is that you're taking refuge in not seeking a refuge. If you can do that, you're really a Buddhist.
How do I study if I don't have a teacher or community?
"For the independent practitioner," writes Judy Lief, "there is no clear roadmap. The sheer volume of material to study can be overwhelming, and so can figuring out where to start. So it is probably best to begin at the beginning—with yourself."
What Buddhist books should I read first?
As Judy Lief says, there's quite a lot of material out there, so we've compiled a list:
How can I get started with Buddhist meditation?
Focusing on the in-breath and out-breath is a core technique, practiced by beginning and established meditators alike, to deepen concentration and cultivate meditative insight. In our essential guide to meditation, you'll find simple meditation instructions, answers to common questions about meditation, and guidance to help cultivate peace, stability, friendliness, and compassion.

Made with rich dark chocolate and roasted almonds, then topped with either a Maldon sea salt or a Pinot Noir craft salt; this easier than sin chocolate almond bark looks like it came right out of a gourmet candy shop.
Chocolate Almond Bark Is One Of My Favorite Things
This homemade chocolate almond bark is next level
You can also make this as chocolate almond clusters if you use a cookie scoop or any other scooping device.
Ingredient in Chocolate Almond Bark
- Chocolate: The best chocolate you can find and afford. My favorite is Guittard.
- Almonds: Roasted and unsalted almonds.
- Craft Salt: Here I've used Maldon salt and a pinot noir craft salt.
The combination of salt, roasted almonds, and dark chocolate make a rich and delicious almond bark that is so fantastic.
No one will ever believe that you whipped it up in 5 minutes flat! You don't need to tell anyone that you made this in the Microwave. – MIND BLOWN!
Making Homemade Chocolate Almond Bark
It's recipes like this that get my creative juice flowing.
There are three basic ingredients: chocolate, nuts, and salt.
But once you start thinking about things, you can add almost anything into this chocolate to create a million different flavor profiles.
There are no limits!
Varieties Of Chocolate Bark
- Roasted almonds and dried cherries
- Dried candied ginger and a few drops of orange extract
- Pistachios and dried blueberries
- Almonds and coconut flakes
- Peanuts and dried raspberries
- Crushed honeycomb or butter toffee and roasted almonds
You can also swap out the dark chocolate for other kinds of chocolate.
Maybe you're a milk chocolate person – use that instead. Add a layer of peppermint-scented white chocolate for a peppermint bark twist.
This recipe is also a great way to get kids into the kitchen. Have them mix up a batch with their favorite candies inside. There is nothing like a big mouthful of chocolate-covered gummy worms to light up a kid's day.
If you need a few other fast and easy gift-able treats, check out our Dairy-Free Rocky Road Fudge and Brown Butter Caramel Sauce. Both super easy to make and super impressive to give!

If you're in northern Italy in the summer, tickets to the Verona Opera Festival at the Arena di Verona are a must!
The setting, the Verona Arena built in the first century, is said to be one of the best-preserved structures of ancient times. Backdrop to Piazza Bra, the near 2000-year old amphitheatre rises in a double storey of multiple arches in concentric circles, a testimony to the ingenuity of the time. During the day it humbly sits as a historical monument, explored by tourists and captured on film as scenes for selfies. In the evening, however, it breathes new life awakening into an unforgettable open-air opera experience delighting spectators with internationally famed performances.
In the distant past, crowds would amass from afar to witness shows and games, and most famously the gladiators. For the past century, the opera has been running almost continuously (with the exception of pauses for the World Wars) and provides seating for an audience of 15 000 people at each show. Running from near the end of June until late August up to six productions are scheduled each year for the Opera Festival.
For the 95th Opera Festival, we're fortunate to pick up tickets to Rigoletto for its Saturday night debut for the season. The third opera on the program will run for five dates only. With direction by Ivo Guerra, set design by Raffaele del Savio and costumes by Carla Galleri it promised to be a breathtaking performance.
A tragedy by Guiseppi Verdi, the story revolves around the Duke of Mantua, his disfigured court jester Rigoletto, and the jester's daughter Gilda. Rigoletto, hunch-backed and seemingly unkind has a habit of mocking the courtiers for the merriment of the Duke. This leads one of his emotionally wounded subjects to declare a curse upon Rigoletto. Hanging over the main character's conscious for the entirety of the story, every malady seems to be a result of the malediction. Despite Rigoletto hiding his daughter away, Gilda falls in love with the Duke, and Rigoletto, unable to persuade her of the Duke's true nature, sets in motion a plan to have the Duke murdered. Of course, all does not turn out as planned and in a twist of fate, it is Gilda who is slain.
Rigoletto has been on the stage since 1928 and to see it in the Arena is like watching history come alive. Add to the candles that are lit upon arrival, with nothing but the starlit sky as the roof and the powerful voices of the leads filling the air with emotion, and we find ourselves an enchanted evening. Don't miss it!
*Things to Know Before Attending the Verona Opera Festival
- Padded seating with backs are the most expensive tickets. Seating on the steps is more affordable but do come prepared with cushions for comfort (they can be rented at the Arena, but if you've chosen the least expensive tickets, you might not want to spend that cash on your bottom).
- If you're not fluent in Italian, it's worth reading the story before the show so that you know what's going on.
- There are subtitles on either side of the stage. Just remember to look up!
- Allow some time to spend both before and after the show in the plaza, bars or restaurants around the Arena di Verona – the atmosphere is magical.
- Lastly, the show is LONG! Expect to be there for three hours or more, so prepare yourself for the long-haul.
- Don't miss seeing it at least once! It's a wonderful experience.
Reasons to visit: an incredible experience that merges history and modernity into one big bundle of magnificence.

Going through a divorce in North Carolina can be a highly emotional process. When spouses decide to end their marriage, they may have a difficult time agreeing on almost anything. They might find themselves frequently arguing, and it could seem like there is no alternative to an extended trial in family court to manage the divorce. However, these couples should consider the ramifications of going to trial.
Divorcees may be entitled to Social Security benefits
Figures from the Social Security Administration reveal that about one in five married couples in North Carolina and around the country will rely on their Social Security benefits to cover at least 90% of their retirement expenses. Older spouses who are unhappy in their marriages may feel that divorce is not practical because losing their husband or wife's Social Security benefits would leave them financially vulnerable, but the SSA has rules in place that allow divorcees to receive payments based on their former spouse's contributions.
Tips for a functional co-parenting relationship
When parents divorce in North Carolina, they may struggle afterwards to maintain a functioning co-parenting relationship. However, it can be important to the well-being of their children that they do so.
Divorce may be predicted by these signs
Divorce is one of the most stressful, anxiety-producing situations a person can go through in North Carolina, and most couples seek to avoid it for as long as they can. It can be difficult to know if divorce is the right decision, especially given the weight of the emotions involved. For people who are considering divorce but are not sure about it, there are some telltale signs that divorce is on the way. Among them are not eating meals together, living separate lives, experiencing addiction and not having sex regularly.
Satisfied, low-income newlyweds less needy of family law services
The question of why some marriages fail where others succeed is an important one for any North Carolina couple on the way to the altar. Prevailing wisdom has it that marriages always start off optimistically with high energy that wanes over time into stability and ease. In short, marriage is often seen as a path to a place couples are not enthusiastic about being once they get there. One Forbes contributor takes a closer look at the myth through the lens of a study found in Social Psychology and Personality Science.
Property division issues when divorces happen later in life
When middle-aged or older people in North Carolina decide to divorce, they likely have accumulated significant marital assets. To negotiate an equitable division of marital property and possibly calculate child or spousal support, both parties must identify all marital assets and income. Retirement accounts, inheritances, life insurance policies and future Social Security benefits all enter the equation when determining the final terms of the divorce.
Americans divorce for a wide array of reasons
Marriage is difficult for many couples in North Carolina. Sometimes, nuptials fall apart at the seams and result in divorce. In 2017, approximately 800,000 divorces took place in the United States. Statistics show that couples divorce for specific reasons. The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) conducted research regarding the main reasons Americans end their marriages.
Assessing the contributions of stay-at-home spouses in divorce
In North Carolina, like most states, property division in case of divorce is supposed to be equitable. This means that a court may consider the contributions of both spouses when deciding how to split up assets. While this may be straightforward if both spouses earned an income, it can be more complex if one spouse did not. These spouses are often stay-at-home parents whose support has helped the career of the breadwinner.
Assuming a mortgage after divorce
When couples in North Carolina divorce, every aspect of their shared finances is open to negotiation and division. In many cases, a shared home is one of the most valuable assets the couple owns. If the home is not yet paid off and there is still a mortgage, the spouses will have to decide how they want to manage that responsibility.
Making wise decisions about the family home during a divorce
North Carolina residents who have gone through a divorce understand just how challenging the entire process can be. One of the major challenges a divorcing couple may face is determining what to do with the marital home. There may be a lot of sentiment attached to the home. For that reason, the couple may struggle with whether to sell the home and divide the profits, have one of the two parties buy the other one out, or both keep ownership of the home and alternate the days that they live in it.

Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) is an enzyme that affects cell signaling. Inhibiting PDE5 can relax muscles and increase blood flow to specific areas of the body, which is why PDE5 inhibitors such as tadalafil (Cialis™), sildenafil (Viagra™), and vardenafil (Levitra™) are primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction in men. Preclinical studies have reported potential neuroprotective properties of PDE5 inhibitors, but no human research has confirmed these potential benefits. People who use nitrate drugs should not take PDE5 inhibitors due to safety concerns.
While some clinical trials have examined acute effects of PDE5 inhibitors on cognitive function, no studies have tested whether PDE5 inhibitors can prevent age-related cognitive decline or dementia. Our search identified:
• 3 randomized controlled trials examining acute effects of PDE5 inhibitors on cognitive functions
• 1 uncontrolled clinical trial examining the effects of udenafil (Zydena™) on cognitive functions
• Numerous preclinical studies
Three small randomized controlled trials examining acute effects of PDE5 inhibitors observed no changes in cognitive functions in healthy adults [1-3]. A fourth trial from South Korea did report improved cognitive function, but the results are not reliable because it did not apply a randomized design and lacked a control group [4].
In preclinical studies, PDE5 inhibitors protect against cognitive impairment and neurodegeneration [5-9]. Some proposed mechanisms include reduced tau tangles (a component of Alzheimer's disease), increased protective molecules such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), reduced inflammation, and reduced cell-death signaling, but none of these effects have been demonstrated in humans yet. Given the widespread use of PDE5 inhibitors, it is surprising that no human clinical studies have examined whether people taking PDE5 inhibitors have an altered risk of cognitive impairment or dementia.
No clinical studies have been carried out to test whether PDE5 inhibitors can benefit someone with dementia. While some benefits such as decreased biological markers of Alzheimer's disease (e.g., tau phosphorylation) and improved cognitive functions have been observed in preclinical studies [5][6], these benefits have not been confirmed in people with dementia.
PDE5 inhibitors are well-tolerated in most people and side effects are generally mild and include headache, flushing, back pain, diarrhea, and gastric symptoms [10-12]. Rare side effects include vision changes or sudden vision loss, particularly in people with heart disease or diabetes. PDE5 inhibitors can also cause prolonged or painful erections, which can cause permanent damage unless treated.
PDE5 inhibitors can interact with some medications and should not be used if you are taking a nitrate drug for chest pain or heart problems, as this can lead to a sudden and serious decrease in blood pressure. Other potentially dangerous interactions are discussed at Drugs.com.
NOTE: This is not a comprehensive safety evaluation or complete list of potentially harmful drug interactions. It is important to discuss safety issues with your physician before taking any new supplement or medication.
In the US, tadalafil (Cialis™), sildenafil (Viagra™), vardenafil (Levitra™), and avanafil (Stendra™) are on the market to treat erectile dysfunction. Sildenafil (Revatio™) and tadalafil (Adcirca™) are also indicated for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension. None of these drugs are approved for treating cognitive decline or dementia. PDE5 inhibitors should not be used if you take nitrate medications, due to the risk of severe and possibly fatal drop in blood pressure.
The Patient Education Center by Harvard Health Publications provides an online comparison of different PDE5 inhibitors.
ADDF is sponsoring a clinical trial led by Dr. Atticus Hainsworth at St. George's, University of London, which examines the effectiveness of tadalafil in treating people with vascular cognitive impairment (a potential precursor to vascular dementia). Details of this trial can be found by searching "Hainsworth" in the ADDF's Online Portfolio and at clinicaltrials.gov.
