Moringa Oleifera is an indian plant by origin with its roots literally in North India. It goes by a variety of names like Horseradish Tree or Ben Oil Tree and Drumstick Tree. It has been praised for its various health benefits for thousands of years. Because it is extremely rich in antioxidants and bioactive plant compounds, it has gained a special place in ancient medicine. Despite that scientists have so far investigated only a fraction of its several health benefits and those of the Organic Moringa Products derived from it. Nearly all parts of this tree can be eaten or used in one way or another as an ingredient in traditional herbal medicine. The leaves and pods of this plant are commonly eaten in many parts of India and Africa. They are also available in powder and capsule form.
Benefits of Moringa Oleifera are not limited to just medicine. Its leaves have an excellent nutrition profile and it is a very good source of many vitamins and minerals. A cup of freshly chopped Moringa leaves (21 grams) contains the following:
- 2 grams of Protein
- Vitamin B6 which is19% of the RDA
- Vitamin C which is12% of the RDA
- Iron which is 11% of the RDA
- Riboflavin (B2) which is 11% of the RDA
- Vitamin A (from beta-carotene) which is 9% of the RDA
- Magnesium which is 8% of the RDA
Some Of The Most Incredible Benefits Of Moringa Oleifera
- Moringa Oleifera is highly rich in antioxidants that act to control free radicals in your body. It prevents oxidative stress that can result in chronic problems like heart disease and Type 2 Diabetes.
- It also contains Quercetin which is a powerful antioxidant that helps lower blood pressure.
- Other than this Organic Moringa Products have Chlorogenic acid as well which is found in high amounts in coffee, and can help moderate your blood sugar levels.
- You can also use Moringa leaf extract as a food preservative if you want to increase the shelf life of meat and reduce its oxidation process.
- You can use this plant when you are struggling with high blood sugar levels. According to studies taking 1.5 teaspoons of moringa leaf powder daily for 3 months can reduce fasting blood sugar levels by 13.5%. Another study confirmed that adding 50 grams of moringa leaves into a meal can reduce the rise in blood sugar by 21%.
- Inflammation may be our body's essential protective mechanism but in many cases it may become a major health issue. According to many scientists isothiocyanates present in moringa leaves, pods and seeds are anti-inflammatory in nature and can have profound effects on our inflammation problems.
- Just like flaxseeds, oats and almonds, moringa oleifera also has cholesterol-lowering effects.
- Many parts of the world suffer from arsenic contamination of food and water. When exposed for a long time, this can even result in an increased risk of cancer and heart diseases. Several studies have shown the leaves and seeds of moringa oleifera to contain a compound that can protect us against some effects of arsenic toxicity.
Are There Any Side Effects & Safety Precautions Of Moringa Oleifera Or Its Products?
Well, to be fair let's say that Moringa is 99% SAFE. You step into the remaining 1% zone when you are not taking it by mouth and or when not using it appropriately. Its leaves, fruits, and seeds are very much safe when eaten as food. However, many experts are of the opinion that its root and its extracts should be avoided as much as possible. These parts of this plant may contain a substance which is toxic in nature and can cause paralysis and even death in some cases. You can consumer Moringa safely in doses of up to 6 grams on a daily basis for up to 3 weeks. Apart from this, it is safe to say that there isn't much information on the topic that will let you know whether moringa is safe or not when used in medicinal amounts.
What About Any Special Precautions & Warnings?
Pregnancy And Breast-Feeding
You shouldn't be using any of its roots or root extracts when you are pregnant or breastfeeding. In fact you should also avoid its bark or flowers if you are pregnant. According to research the chemicals present in the root, bark, and flowers of this plant result in an unusual contraction of the uterus, and this can lead to a miscarriage. Again many experts are still not certain about whether to use other parts of this plant or not during pregnancy but you are always advised to exercise caution and stay on the safe side by avoiding its use.
While you may find Moringa useful in increasing breast milk production and there is reliable evidence to support that claim as well but there still isn't enough proof or information that tells us just how safe it is for the nursing infant. Therefore, your doctor will also suggest you to avoid moringa if you are currently breast-feeding.
Healthy Dosing
This is a very critical factor. What amount of it you should take as a dose will depend on a number of factors such as your age, overall health, and several other conditions. Again at this point of time there is no complete data or enough scientific information that can help us determine an appropriate range of dose.
But what we should keep in mind is that natural products may or may not always be safe. You will have to be very careful about their dosages and also make sure to follow relevant directions on the product packaging. Pay attention to labels and also do consult your pharmacist or physician before using them.
Well, The Bottom Line Is That
Moringa Oleifera an Indian tree that is much sought after for various reasons and has enjoyed a special and unrivalled place in traditional medicine for thousands of years still suffers from anonymity. Not many people are aware of it and this is because only a few of its many health benefits have been studied. As time passes by we will learn more amazing benefits of Moringa Oleifera and Organic Moringa Products as well.

How to Stay Healthy During the Holidays and All Year Long
Here come the holidays! Are you ready? Like anything else in life, it's good to be proactive about what's to come. Don't let yourself get caught off guard this holiday season and derail into too many unhealthy habits—which is incredibly easy to do this time of year. Instead, stay focused on maintaining a healthy and happy you. These quick and easy tips can help you stay on track toward healthfulness not only though the holidays but all year long.
Indulge (but not too much)
It's the holidays. 'Tis the season to eat, drink and be merry. However, you do want to be mindful and choose your indulgences carefully. With all of the food, drink and sweet treats laid out before you, it's so easy to overdo it. That's where allowing yourself to enjoy the things you really love is perfectly fine—but mindfully choosing those things really matters. It's tempting to go hog wild, but we all know how that ends! Choose wisely and be selective about what you put on your plate, especially at holiday parties and dinners. If you know you're having a big holiday dinner, opt for a healthy, light breakfast and lunch to compensate for the extra calories later.
Slow Down
Eating slower has been proven to help you pay more attention to your fullness level and feel more satisfied with a smaller portion. Two tips that help you do this are to put your fork down between bites and to take your time while eating. It takes 20 minutes for our stomach to tell our brain that we are full. Studies have proven that people who are in tune to what they are eating and take their time are more likely to eat less and feel satisfied sooner, rather than overeating and feeling bloated after the meal. But slowing down isn't just about eating. Everything seems more rushed and frantic during the holiday season. Give yourself permission to take it easy and slow the pace.
Stay Active
It's easy to feel too busy to keep to your normal exercise routine this time of year, but it's actually a time when you need the physical activity the most. Try to plan for physical activities and squeeze in exercise whenever and wherever you can. It's one of the best ways to keep yourself feeling good during what can be some stressful, busy times where you're prone to feel rundown and burned out. Exercise is also a great way to counter those extra calories and indulgences. Whether it's an after-dinner walk, a quick hop on the treadmill, or any kind of activity that gets you up and moving, it's very important to just do it.
Limit Alcohol
Not only is alcohol full of empty calories, but it's also known to be an appetite stimulant—making you more likely to eat more or eat things you wouldn't normally consume because your inhibitions are lowered. That is a bad combination! It's perfectly fine to enjoy an adult beverage or two, but it's good practice to make sure you eat something first so you have something in your stomach to act as a buffer. Nuts, hummus and other healthy but filling snacks are great choices. Another good strategy is to drink a glass of water between cocktails to slow your pace and to stay well hydrated (more on that next).
Stay Hydrated
It's easy to confuse thirst with hunger, leading to mindless snacking that never satiates. To make sure you're staying hydrated, experts recommend drinking half your body weight in water. So if you weigh 140 pounds, aim for 70 ounces of water over the course of the day. It sounds like a lot, but it's a goal to aim toward. For added detoxification, try adding ginger or lemon. It's easy to let water intake go unnoticed during the cooler winter months but it's really important you don't. Hydration also keeps our mucus membranes wet and helps ward off sickness. Drinking enough water is also important for feeling your best, helping to counter fatigue and energy loss.
Be Proactive Toward Wellness
"The germs on your hands are the single biggest threat to your health, any time of year," says Marc Leavey, MD. That's because cold viruses tend to spread more from hand-to-mouth contact than through airborne droplets. When you're out and about, be sure to have a travel-size bottle of hand sanitizer with you and wash your hands often with soap and water. But that's not all you can do to fight off illness. If you run yourself ragged and don't get a good night's sleep, you risk getting ill just because you've worn down your body's defenses. People who sleep at least eight hours nightly are about three times less likely to catch a cold than those who snooze for less than seven.
The Moderation Mantra
Moderation is a great mantra for the holiday season. There's a fine line between restricting yourself too much and feeling like you're missing out to overindulging and regretting it shortly after, knowing that what you overindulged in wasn't really worth it. Stay mindful and be aware of your choices, as you keep a focus on enjoying yourself while also practicing healthful habits. It sounds kind of silly, but many people don't even realize when they're eating. Taking the time to choose food you really want to eat and then actively focusing on enjoying the smell, taste, and texture of each bite will naturally help you slow down and stop when you're full.
Take Time for You
How can you take care of others if you aren't taking care of yourself? You can't. If you're feeling tired, you risk exhaustion and increasing your level of stress. Between shopping, cooking and entertaining, make sure you take a moment or two each day to just relax and clear your head. A few moments are all you need to unwind and recharge. Take an evening walk, listen to relaxing music, soak in a hot bubble bath, rent the movie you've been wanting to see, lose yourself in a good book, treat yourself to a massage, or just do something you love. There are many ways to take some time out and pamper yourself. Whatever it may be, just do it!
WHAT'S your top tip for STAYing HEALTHY and happy OVER THE HOLIDAYS?
We want to hear about it! Our comment section is open. Cheers to the best holiday season yet!

Oh Lord, I am so grateful for Your presence in my life. If it was not for You leading me, I would still be worrying about my job situation and my health issues. Instead, because my faith is for You and that I only want to experience Your love in my life, everything has worked out for the good. You have never stopped loving me and even through my health problems and job situation, You gave me peace through it all. All I had to do is seek Your hand and my path was made straight. I knew exactly what I needed to do next. Even my health situation ended with You taking over my pains and healing me. Thank You so much Lord. You are such a blessing in my life. I prayed that You would touch my groin area and it would be healed. I told You that I had faith and knew that You were there for me and You answered the call. This I know, because Your promises never fail. And because of this Lord, I was able to experience that healing touch and receive a new job also. Thank you so much Lord. You are such a dear Father and truly cares for my life. I may not be perfect, but strive every day to live a life for You. Because without You I have no peace, but only pains. It is hard to even imagine a time that You have not been a part of the life. Surely, I am strengthened daily in Your great love. I have peace day in and day out and know that You have my back, when times are hard. My flesh may want to give up sometimes when it is hard, and even look at other ways to be happy, but this is always for naught. I have learned from the past that doing Your will is the greatest joy of all. I love You most, God. All the praise and the glory to Your holy Name, Jesus. Amen.# Permanent link to Today's Prayer (06/09/2019)//

Paul bold declares: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him – but God has revealed it to us by His Spirit." (I Cor. 2:9-10) What Paul declares were Isaiah's words: "Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God beside You, who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him. You come to the help of those who gladly do right, who remember Your ways." (Isaiah 64:4-5a)
Isn't that utterly awesome!!! God has revealed to us what He has prepared for us! Isaiah tells us "God acts on our behalf because we wait for Him"! All to often we see these words; we hear these words and fail to embrace the truth of them. We are inclined to look at our own experiences and in light of them, "water down" the immenseness of them, as well as the truth of them. We have a natural tendency to measure what God has conceived for us on the basis of our relationship with Him, rather than on His relationship with us, and the truth of His Word and His promises. God acts on our behalf as we wait on Him Isaiah said. It would have been so much easier if He had said, "God acts on our behalf when we are about doing our stuff". "Waiting" has to do with moving deeper in our relationship with "Father", not in messing around trying to figure out what we are suppose to do, or doing our thing until God gets around to doing His thing. Our challenge is to yield ourselves to Him in order that He can do His thing through us. It is not doing our thing and then asking Him to bless it. Only the Holy Spirit has the power to reveal to us what God has in store for us. When we allow Him to work His work in us, we discover "no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God" is able to do for us and through us.
As we day by day use the pattern of identification, forgiving, confessing, repenting, receiving forgiveness, cutting bondages, binding and casting out unclean spirits, smash images and receive healing we draw nearer to the heart of God and He comes to help us accomplish His mission and ministry through us. Freedom!!! In times like these, we have a "truth to declare; a love to share and an abundant life to live". What could be better than that?!

Pale amber sunlight lengthens its shadows across a day that seems more autumnal than wintry.
There is something incredibly sad when dried up leaves carpet the ground and the trees stand bare, stripped off all shades of dignity.
I feel nostalgic for the greenery of summer, but I am reminded that the coming spring will make new leaves grow.
Seasons change and that is the only constant. Especially in a world where all feeling is fleeting.
I did not think I would ever forget you. But, I did. Actually I rarely remember you. It struck me this afternoon when I was soaking in the last rays of the sun that the sunset hues no longer bleed my heart.
There was a time when every sunset was a stab at my heart because I missed you and couldn't have you. I did not want our story to end. I wanted it etched on stone so that it dare not fade.
But, sometimes one must give thanks for unanswered prayers. The ways of the Universe are smarter than we give it credit for.
I did not even notice that somewhere along the way I stopped caring. I have healed and now I know that letting go difficult as it was, was perhaps the best thing that happened to me.
I do not mourn you anymore. I cannot even fathom why I loved you ever. Do soul mates outgrow each other when their purpose is served or lessons learnt?
Perhaps, that is true. I hope I do not ever see you in any direction of time. I am too busy and grateful for other chances that I had ignored for so long.
So go in peace. I hope you find happiness. I am too busy being happy to feel sad for you. Anymore.

New technology augments hearing, enriches lifestyle.
A series of ear infections suffered during infancy left Robert Spivey totally deaf in his right ear and nearly deaf in his left ear, and for 47 years, Robert believed all the people who told him hearing aids would never restore his hearing.
Then came a day five years ago when a change in work assignments all but forced Robert to find out once and for all if those claims were true.
"Up until then, I had always overcome the obstacles associated with my hearing loss mostly through improvisation and ingenuity," Robert explains. "I learned to read lips extremely well and had conditioned people to always walk on my left side.
"Then this change at work came. I'm a registered nurse and paramedic, and after fourteen years of working with a medevac unit in helicopter transport, I was going to be transitioning into a procedural area of the hospital where everyone wears a mask.
"That was obviously going to take away my ability to read lips, so I needed to do something to help my hearing. Also, as my two kids had gotten older, I had grown tired of having to say What? to them all the time.
"It just so happens that there's an audiologist in the same office complex where my wife works, so I made an appointment to go there."
Robert went to see Dr. Karen Cowan-Oberbeck, a board-certified doctor of audiology, and co-owner Glenn A. Oberbeck, a board-certified hearing aid specialist at EarCare, which has locations in Melbourne, Merritt Island and Indian Harbour Beach. Robert's experience at EarCare proved to be a life-changing ear-opener.
"I went through a series of diagnostic tests that showed just how significant my hearing loss was, and then hearing aid specialist Glenn Oberbeck told me, I have something that can help you with that," Robert says. "It turns out a hearing aid could help me because when they put it in, it was like flipping a switch on from night to day.
"All of a sudden, I was hearing sounds I'd never heard before. I remember hearing my wife's voice, and it almost brought me to tears. Suddenly, everything in my world was different. My entire environment changed that day."
The hearing aid Robert received fit behind his left ear and helped him excel in his new position as the trauma program manager at Health First's Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne. Recently, another job change prompted a change of hearing instruments.
The change of jobs includes a return to the skies and the medical center's helicopter transport unit, where Robert's passion lies. The change in hearing instruments was due to the changes in technology that have been made since Robert last flew with that unit.
The crew members of the helicopter transport unit now communicate primarily through an intercom system in their helmets. Wearing that helmet would have caused Robert's old hearing aid to either fall off or break, so he recently sought out Glenn for an upgrade.
"By becoming a flight nurse again, Robert was going back to a very unique work environment, and we had to take that into consideration when re-fitting him so that he could function and communicate properly with confidence," Glenn explains.
"After sitting down and strategizing over what the best solution for him would be, we decided to go with an Invisible-In-the-Canal [IIC] device made by Oticon that fits super deep in the ear canal. It's called the Oticon OPN 3 IIC.
"This device actually fits all the way down into the bony region of the ear canal. That way, there's no chance of it getting in the way or getting knocked off the ear. It's very secure and has a low profile. It is perfect for Robert."
Technological Advances
Because it is designed to fit deep in the ear canal, the Oticon OPN 3 IIC has to be custom molded to fit the wearer's ear. To do that, Glenn made a cast mold of Robert's ear canal. From that mold, the device Robert wears today was made.
"It's a digital wireless device that can be put in and taken out daily, which is important because Robert is in a work environment where he sweats a lot, and you want the ear canal to dry out each day," Glenn adds. "You don't want something in there all day, every day.
"Even though it sits deep in the canal, this device can be inserted into the ear and removed very easily and quickly. One of the great advantages is that the feedback cancellation is outstanding, meaning there is no squealing. The quality of sound he gets from the hearing aid is excellent."
Robert concurs. His new device includes an upgraded microprocessor that allows him to set levels more precisely than his previous instrument. He says that upgrade has proved to be very helpful both in and out of his new work environment.
"It's not as though my old hearing aid was out of date or anything, but the change from that one to this one is so great in terms of the technology that it's provided me with a huge boost in terms of how I process sounds in my head," Robert says.
"I'm hearing things now that I literally never heard before. My kids, for example. I've always heard them, but when they were younger, I never really heard their voices the way I do now. To be able to suddenly hear your kids is amazing.
"Sometimes, I'll just go and sit out on the porch and listen. It's incredible how significantly Glenn and the folks at EarCare have changed my life. And this is twice now in five years that they've done that.
"The work they do at EarCare, it changes lives. It really, really does change lives, and I would recommend them to anyone. They're really great people, and they do incredible work."

"China is in the midst of regulatory 'shock and awe.' PaizaBio provides multinational pharmaceutical companies with much needed on-the-ground insight and a clear path forward in China."
October 4, 2016 I 2:30 PM I Pharma Forum Theater 1, Hall 2
It's no secret that the global pharmaceutical industry is on the brink of transformational change. The reasons are many: blockbuster drugs are heading over the patent cliff, the biosimilar revolution, health systems' increasing controls of drug formularies, and mounting government pricing pressure.
Despite the challenges, PaizaBio's Chief Commercial Officer David Deere remains optimistic. The reason for David's good cheer? China.
On Tuesday, October 4, 2016, David will reveal the basis for his optimism in a CPhI Worldwide Pharma Insights discussion entitled "Reformation of China's Drug Regulatory Laws: Salvation for the Global Drug Industry." The 2:30 p.m. discussion will be held in Pharma Forum Theater 1, Hall 2, and is limited to the first 100 guests.
Now we don't want to give David's thesis away, but rest assured it will focus on China's rise to second largest pharmaceutical market in the world, the CFDA's recent policy changes intended to thrust China into an active role in global pharma alongside multinational pharmaceutical companies, accelerate in-country drug innovation and commercialization, and expand access to affordable, modern medicines among its 1.4 billion citizens.
Certainly, that discussion is a lot to swallow, but David will also explore the best way to compete – and win – in the new China, and that involves playing by the new rules often with strategic partners who understand the intricacies and nuances of China's pharmaceutical sectors.
David's "Salvation" address at Pharma Insights is sure to open eyes – and minds – to the opportunities in China. We hope you will join us. For details on David's discussion, download the attached flier.

The interest for Wellingo's probiotics was great at the children- baby- maternity-expo, CBME, in Indonesia
How do you find the right people who can help you with the import and distribution of probiotics to children and pregnant women in Indonesia? You go to the children- baby- maternity-expo, CBME in Jakarta, Indonesia!
Therefore, Wellingo spent seven days networking in Indonesia by the end of March.
– The exhibition is mostly business to business so it was a great opportunity for us to meet potential partners, who can help us entering the Indonesian market, says Rendong Li, Managing Director, Wellingo, who experienced a great interest for Wellingo's products in Indonesia.
– We met a lot of relevant actors from the industry in Indonesia, and as a positive surprise we met a lot of potential collaboration partners, who can help us in other markets and countries, too.
It was the first time Wellingo exhibited at a fair, but it will for sure not be the last.
– It has been so exciting to meet people from the industry and tell them face to face about our products. We were the only company with probiotics at the exhibition, and we found that there are no products like ours in the Indonesian market right now, says Rendong Li and continues:
– Probiotics were well-known to most of the people we talked to, but the majority were familiar with probiotic products in other forms such as dairy products.
No concrete collaboration agreements are made yet, but these will hopefully be in the bag within the nearest future.
– We are in the process of following up on the contacts we made, and we hope that it will result in some strong collaborations with partners who can import and distribute our probiotics in Indonesia. We are thankful for the great contacts we made at CBME and look forward to getting our products out in a wider market, says Rendong Li.

Swiss chard is amazingly easy to grow and mild winter weather makes it a good winter crop in the South. We plant chard in the yard next to our pansies since they look almost as good as they taste. Interestingly, Swiss chard was first grown in Sicily, Italy, but a Swiss scientist was the first to name it.
Gratins originated in Provencal French cuisine and are usually prepared in a shallow dish of some kind. The word "gratin" is a derivative of the French word meaning crust or skin. A gratin is baked or cooked under an overhead grill or broiler to form a golden crust on top and is traditionally served in its baking dish. It matches wonderfully with roasted or grilled meat and fish dishes.
2 pounds fresh Swiss chard
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, crushed, and peeled
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons flour
1 cup milk
Coarse bread crumbs (we prefer Panko)
Grated Parmesan cheese
Wash and drain the leaves. Separate the green leafy parts of the chard from the thick ribs, and then trim the ribs and chop them into 1/2" pieces. Cook the ribs in a large pot of salted, boiling water for 10 minutes, then add the greens and stir with a wooden spoon until the water returns to a boil. As soon as the greens are completely limp empty the chard into a colander and refresh with cold running water. Squeeze the mass of chard to remove as much water as possible; we roll them in an old bath towel.
Preheat oven to 375°. Place dried mound of chard on a cutting board and chop it thin, then give the ball a quarter of a turn and chop thin again. In a heavy sauté pan, warm 2 tablespoons olive oil and most of the butter over medium-low heat. Add the crushed garlic and cook until sizzling but before it begins to color, add the chopped chard, salt, and pepper. Stir regularly with a wooden spoon for about 10 minutes, or until the chard has lost all visible moisture. Sprinkle the flour over the top and stir well, then begin adding the milk a little at a time. Stir with each addition and wait until the chard absorbs all the milk before adding more.
Using a food processor, pulse the mixture rapidly to form a coarse puree. Pour the chard mixture into a buttered gratin dish, sprinkle with bread crumbs, and Parmesan if desired and drizzle with olive oil then bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

The Hockey Hall of Fame accepts its Class of 2018 on Monday. It incorporates a ladies' hockey symbol (Jayna Hefford), an aware Lady Byng Trophy (Marty St. Louis), a well-meriting worldwide star (Aleksander Yakushev), somebody who held up way, far too long (Willie O'Ree) and somebody who most likely expected to hold up somewhat longer past the residency of his present place of employment so his achievements can get away from the poisonous quality of his disagreeability to increase both clearness and congrats (Gary Bettman).
It additionally drafts Martin Brodeur, the New Jersey Devils goalie - OK, and the St. Louis Blues goalie, for a moment - who is the vocation pioneer in NHL wins (691), recreations played (1,266, and consider for a minute just three goalies in NHL history have played more than 1,000), shots against (31,709), spares (28,928), minutes played (74,439) and a record that is up there with anything Wayne Gretzky expert to the extent inaccessibility: 125 profession shutouts.
The inquiry is what number of those shutouts ought to be credited to Brodeur himself.Every Hall of Famer has his or her commentators. For the most part, its period particular issue about how one player would not have fared too had they played under various conditions. At times it's about amusements played, or an absence of honors. (Nor is an issue for Brodeur, who additionally has four Vezina trophies, a Calder, Olympic gold and three Stanley Cups.) But Brodeur is one of a kind in that there are the individuals who thought amid his playing days - and still accept as he enters the Hall of Fame - that he is the result of a framework, a result of the cautious ability before him. That he is either the chicken or the egg, contingent upon which one arrived second.They are the Marty Truthers, and they keep on conspire.the revered hockey student of history Joe Pelletier once positioned him the fourth-most misrepresented player in NHL history. "He may claim all the critical goaltending records, yet he was, best case scenario the third best goalie time permitting. He never outperformed Patrick Roy or Dominik Hasek as big enchilada when each of the three were playing in the meantime. Some may put Eddie Belfour above him around then, as well," he wrote.above him around then, as well," he composed.
There have been confessions about him. There have been articles itemizing how the unbiased zone trap and his Hall of Fame defensemen - Scott Stevens, Scott Neidermayer - conveyed him.
The InfoWars of Marty Truthers was the unpretentiously titled blog called Brodeur is a Fraud. It included such treatises as "The 10 Types of Overrated" and factual investigation that appraised Brodeur far toward the rear of both Dominik Hasek and Patrick Roy. It was an engaging perused, a contrarian minority provide details regarding a goaltender who had been put on a platform.
Yet, an interesting thing occurred around 2013 on that blog, in the last post under that standard: The mea culpa that Brodeur "might be misrepresented in a few circles, especially among individuals from the prevailing press, yet he is unquestionably not a fake," as indicated by the blog's creator, Philip Myrland (whom I contacted as of late with no good fortune, tsk-tsk).
"So, on the off chance that you haven't perused the whole record of my scaled down fixation on Martin Brodeur to follow the advancing viewpoint of his vocation in this space, there is valid justification to trust that an essential spare rate investigation underrates him to the point that he deserves to considered [sic] one of the main 6-8 goalies ever. This is on the grounds that Brodeur includes an incentive as far as non-spare abilities (I accept essentially through puck-dealing with and propping the play up to diminish faceoffs in his very own zone), and in light of the fact that the place where he grew up scorekeeper cost him a few points on his spare rate through undercounting shots in respect to different arenas around the class," composed Myrland.
"Goaltending is tied in with discovering little edges that include after some time, and once those two things are calculated in, Brodeur's at first great yet not-really tip top spare rate record looks significantly more amazing."
To me, that last point is the Rosetta Stone for understanding Brodeur's enormity. There were things that he did that went past the arrangement of customary goaltending details - things that made the specific framework that is credited with cushioning those details function and also it did.
His capacity to be viable without a high shot volume, for one. His unmatched puck-taking care of abilities for another. He was a third defenseman back there. That expertise helped transform the Devils' guarded frameworks into the covering title gauge machines they were the same amount of as Stevens, Niedermayer, Ken Daneyko or Brian Rafalski did. I don't know how you rate everlasting status, but rather I'm almost certain when your alliance creates a standard to prevent you from being so damn great, that is a decent sign of it.
As a Devils fan, I'm clearly a factional, yet I'm not a visually impaired Brodeur helper. There were years when his notoriety bested his accomplishments - Marty Turco merited the 2002-03 Vezina Trophy, for instance. He profited by playing in a cautious time much like any individual who held a stick during the 1980s profited from that firewagon time. In any case, you can't deny his ability, his center, his life span and the way that he has a standout amongst the most startlingly achieved Hall of Fame list of references in hockey history.
In the Great Modern NHL Goalie Debate, I'm continually going to rank Dominik Hasek first, since he's the most skilled hockey player - skater or something else - I've ever observed. (In spite of the fact that allow Connor one more decade and I'll rethink.) But I'll take Brodeur over Patrick Roy and whatever remains of his associates. Indeed, even the Marty Truthers know reality: Brodeur was stand-out.

|A possible solution for conditional execution of tasks?
|Sat, 28 May 2005 17:56:16 GMT
To conditionally execute a step in Ant one has to resort to setting up a target structure like this: : <target name="predicate"> <condition property="condition-satisfied"> <available .../> : </condition> </target> <target name="conditional-step" if="condition-satisfied"> <!-- conditional tasks here --> : : </target> <target name="conditional" depends="predicate, conditional-step"/> <target name="main" depends="conditional"> : : </target> : This is because of several reasons: * The ant tasks do not have something like *if* attribute. * One cannot get away with only two targets instead of three because the dependencies are executed before the dependent. Using the above example it is not possible to do what target predicate does in the main target and avoid using the predicate target. * Ensure order of execution However, I tried a solution making use of antcall task and it worked. It works as follows: : <target name="conditional-step" if="condition-satisfied"> <!-- conditional tasks here --> : : </target> <target name="main" depends="conditional-step"> : <condition property="condition-satisfied"> <available .../> : </condition> <antcall target="condition-satisfied"/> : </target> The advantage of this approach is to quickly have some tasks execute conditionally by putting them in a target and calling that target using antcall after setting some property. And it seemed to work. My question is - is there a problem using this approach? Why or why isn't this a preferred approach? Thanks in advance, Sandip

Touch was one of my favourite books of last year I absolutely loved it. Have you read it?
See my review of Touch
Until he met Dez, Kale's days were filled with violence and death. He was used as a weapon of destruction by the power hungry men of Denazen. He's a Six. A person with an abnormal ability. Some people call them gifts, but not Kale. Kale's touch means instant death.But now there's Dez, the girl he can touch, and they're hunting down Sixes and warning them about Denazen. Kale is learning about the world outside captivity and trying to put his dark past behind him. But they underestimated how badly Denazen wanted him back.When Dez sacrifices herself to save the new Six they'd rescued from falling into the corp's hands, Kale is lost. Denazen has brought out its best to get the job done. Samsen, a nightmare from Kale's past—the only person he's ever truly feared—has come for them, and it soon becomes obvious he has his own twisted agenda.Kale will need all his training to get Dez back and ensure they make it out, free—and alive. But will it be enough?

Not Finger Licking Good, By Any Manner Of Means
Hey there!! If you're here from SMBC and proving that advertising and shiny colours do work, HELLO!!! Take a look around, read the archives. You'll like it trust me. And if you do, tell me, as I'm desperate for praise, like a child who gets locked in a cupboard. And even if you want to tell me I'm a fuckwit and you could shit a better webcomic, that's cool too. Once again, I'm desperate for attention.
You can reach me at
and I promise to respond to every email I get.
On with the show.
Two things are self evident by their sheer awesomeness. One, my new Hellboy toy that is sculpted to look like it was drawn by Mike Mignola. It's brilliant, plain and simple. Its just great and tons of fun to play with, I love it. I heartily recommend jumping down to the 3rd Place NOW and getting one. Don't try Forbidden Plant as they don't have any in yet because The 3rd Place gets theirs in a full week earlier. So once again, that's The 3rd Place, Unit 3, Sprangers Yard, Crow Street, Temple Bar.
Another thing that is awesome is the Ultimate Spider-Man video game. Much like the Spider-Man 2 game, its GTA, only with... justice. (Incidentally, I love that word. I think its one one the most inherently funny words in the English language. I don't know why I just do. ) Yeah, its great fun and I recommend at least renting it. I would rent it, but I can't get Gamecube rentals any damn place. I'll keep myself warm at night by thinking that if there was a video game of me, Spidey would buy it. I mean I hope so. Its only fair. Even to make up with the mountain of crap I purchased purely because he featured on the cover. I have a problem.
Speaking of problems, today's comic. I don't think All Star Batman and Robin The Boy Wonder is that bad, its just doesn't live up to its promise. If someone had said "Hey, this is Frank Miller writing Batman as if he lived in Sin City and the whole thing is bat shit fucking loco. The Batmobile flies and Batman smacks around Robin" I would have been on board. But no one told me that. This is All Star Batman. Meaning broad iconic strokes of what should be Batman. Much like the classic animated series by Bruce Timm. I thought that's what it'd be like. More fool me. Taking it as it is which is essentially Frank Miller writing Marv in a Batman suit and Jim Lee drawing every woman in it like they're posing for esquire, fine, I can deal. I wish I could have dealt with it while waiting for the trade, but ah well.
At least, All Star Batman has thought me never to look forward to another comic ever again, except Morrison and Quitely's Superman. What can I say? I think I hate myself.
And yes, that's Colm Mc Grath in this weeks comic. He actually owns every single issue of X4, truly the worst comic of all time. What makes it even sweeter is that he knew exactly how shit it was when he was buying it. He just couldn't stop.
This is what the
The X-Axis had to say.....
"I can only assume that somebody in Marvel's marketing department thought it would be a wonderful idea to have an X-Men/Fantastic Four trade paperback ready to go in time for next year's FF film. What a shame it doesn't seem to have occurred to anyone that it should include a story. This has all the hallmarks of a comic produced via the Commissioning Editor's Syllogism: (1) We must publish an X-Men/Fantastic Four miniseries. (2) This is an X-Men/ Fantastic Four miniseries. (3) Therefore we must publish it.
The Fantastic Four show up on the X-Men's doorstep because they'd like to borrow Cerebra. For some reason a request of this sort cannot be made by phone. Wolverine (who has somehow managed to get a hangover, despite having a superhuman healing power) answers the door, and the world's most pointless fight ensues. Because... uh... well, it just does. When I read drivel like this, I honestly start to wonder what the editors do all day. How long does it take to skim the script, find a red pen, and scribble ??? Insert reason for fight? in the margin?
Anyhow, the Fantastic Four and the X-Men end up joining forces to reach a space station which is in trouble, so that they can rescue any survivors. Surprisingly, even though this series stars the bloody Fantastic Four, the only vehicle available for the purpose is the X-Men's aircraft. Only six people can go because it only has six seats. Now, at this point, two thoughts might have crossed your mind. (1) Why not get one of the FF's vehicles? (2) If the plane can only carry six people, where are they planning to put the survivors who they're trying to rescue? If so, you are thinking far more deeply than anyone who worked on this book.>
See you Monday
Cheers guys

Bigg Boss : Nominations take place and two new tasks are given
The day begins with the wake up song "Yeh Duniya Ut Patanga†from the film "Khosala Ka Ghosalaâ€.
Housemates discuss and check out the ration sent by Bigg Boss. They had protested that if Bigg Boss doesn't send poha and suji for Ashutosh who is a vegetarian they will not take the ration. But they finally take it.
Later, nomination process starts and Bigg Boss declares the housemates who are nominated.
After the nominations Ahsaan talks with Ashutosh and Zulfi that Bigg Boss sent Abhishek Bachchan to evict Raja. Ahsaan says tasks given by Bigg Boss are a time pass so housemates do not sleep but still they sleep.
Diana and Zulfi feel guilty about the nominations and Debojit also says he is feeling guilty.
Raja listens to all this from the secret room and nods.
Around 4.00pm Debojit is called in confession room and given a task. He informs all members to be in living area as they cannot leave it.
The task is to blow 3,000 balloons in next 3 days. All housemates have to fill 3,000 balloons with the helium gas in garden area. Stands are given to attach balloons to it.
Two alarms will be played during the day when 500 balloons have to be released in the air.
They are also given another task in which they are given a straw statue and mud which is to be mixed with water and Bigg Boss has to be made out of it.
Housemates get engrossed in the first task and actively take part.
Payal and Ahsaan make notes, Sambhavana ties the balloons, Zulfi cuts the thread, Debojit and Rahul tie the balloons on to the stand and Ashutosh and Diana fill gas in the balloons. They do not perform the other task of making the statue of Bigg Boss.
The balloon task continues for three-and-half hours and later housemates release the balloons in the air.

As New Year approaches and resolutions take shape, runners will no doubt be scanning through the calendar for possible races. For those with a fondness for endurance events, this June sees the first ever Trans Pennine Challenge, which entails either a 50k or 100k run set against the backdrop of the Peak District.
Due to take place on 22/23 June, the 100k takes runners from Disdbury, Manchester through the Peak District to Penistone, before moving on to Sheffield and the finishing point at the Don Valley Stadium. The distance is split into 4 stages, with major rest points every 25k and check-points at 12.5k. The 50k run follows a similar format but finishes at Penistone.
The events, which are organised by Action International, can also be walked or completed as part of a relay team, are looking to attract up to 1500 competitors. The Trans Pennine Challenge team is hoping to raise £1 million, with those taken part given a £275 (50k) or £400 (100k) minimum sponsorship target.
For anyone interested in pencilling in the challenge for 2013, organisers are offering reduced registration until the end of December, with entry priced at £40 and £65 for the 50k and 100k respectively (£60 and £85 otherwise). Full event details at the Trans Pennine Challenge website.


text: Shortly after Wanda Sykes announced she would no longer be a part of ABC's hit Roseanne revival following Roseanne Barr's racist tweet, the network has canceled the show. "Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show," president of ABC Entertainment Channing Dungey announced in a statement Tuesday. The backlash has been fierce after Barr, who has been outspoken in her support of President Donald Trump, tweeted a since-deleted attack on former Barack Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett, who is black, during a racist Twitter rant overnight Monday. "Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby = vj," she wrote, using Jarrett's initials in response to a tweeted conspiracy theory about the Obama administration. Barr also attacked Chelsea Clinton, tweeting a since-deleted lie that "she's married to soros nephew," referring to billionaire George Soros. Sara Gilbert publicly denounced her costar, and several other celebrities called on the ABC to cancel the show. "Roseanne's recent comments about Valerie Jarrett, and so much more, are abhorrent and do not reflect the beliefs of our cast and crew or anyone associated with our show," Gilbert tweeted on Tuesday. "I am disappointed in her actions to say the least." "This is incredibly sad and difficult for all of us, as we've created a show that we believe in, are proud of, and that audiences love — one that is separate and apart from the opinions and words of one cast member," she added. On Tuesday, Barr apologized and announced she was "leaving Twitter." "I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans," she wrote. "I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me — my joke was in bad taste."

Introduction: How to Build an E-waste Watering Can
This instructable came out of a project to teach a group of middle school students at RPI. Some of the work is available on the E-Waste Makerspace: http://e-wastetomakerspace.wikispaces.com/E-Waste+...
The purpose of this lesson was to:
- Expose students to concepts of pollution, e-waste, re-use, botany, and experimentation.
- Give students an understanding of basic electronics and to empower them to create things.
- Get kids interested in STEM fields.
The materials you will need are:
- A trashed computer tower (plunder an e-waste recycling bin)
- A 12-16V power supply - also e-waste
- Some wire
- Two DPDT relays that have coil input 5V & <40mA
- An Arduino & power supply
- A moisture sensor (though you could make your own)
- Some waste water or soda bottles
- (optional) waste surgical tubing
- A plant
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Getting the CD Drives Out
E-Waste stands for electronics waste. It's what we call all the old phones, computers, and cables that get thrown away. These electronics are filled with toxic chemicals that are hard to recycle, so they get shipped to other countries where they burn the electronics releasing all of the toxins.
One way to fix this is, instead of simply burning the broken computers, reuse the parts that aren't broken. Let's recover some CD drives that are perfectly fine from discarded computers. Press the top and bottom button to open up a Dell computer tower. Then find the CD drive.
Make sure to disconnect any cables. Press the green tabs on the side in and pull them out.
Now to gain access to the motor, start by removing the screws on the bottom lid.
Identify the two leads that connect to the motor in the front. If you're not sure which ones are the motor, you can pop off the green circuit board and look for where the motor connects. Now that we have our CD drive, let's make sure it works. Take the power supply and apply positive to one side, and negative to the other. Try switching the wires. Hopefully you test this out beforehand and know all your CD drives are good, although they almost always are. Keep in mind that CD drives are far more reliable when they open right side up, so if it's moving but not opening, that could be the cause.
Step 2: Control Your CD Drive From Arduino
Now that you have your working CD drive, let's make this computer controlled. As a note, It's recommended that the Relays be soldered with leads together before handing them to the students.
Solder wires to the relay coil. Then put the other wire into the gnd spot. Tap one signal pin to ground and one to 5V. You should hear a clicking sound as the relay turns on.
Now take your second relay and solder two wires to the coil, two to the output, and two to the far input (normally off). Try testing your switch again with the ground and 5v from your arduino. You should hear that same clicking sound. Then you can solder the inputs to the power supply.
Now connect the input pins to the output of the other relay. And solder the final output to the CD drive's motor's input. Now connect the signal pins to the Arduino grounds and pins 2 & 3. With this you can control the CD drive power. Congratulations, you've now built a CD drive opener.
Step 3: Hook Up Your Moisture Sensor
Cut and strip the wires of your moisture sensor. Plug the yellow or blue wire into the analog pin 0. Plug the red into the 3.3v, and the black into gnd.
Now check the analog output of this particular function. with our Arduino. You can upload the arduino code to the Arduino to both find the moisture sensor readings and control the system with the moisture sensor.
Step 4: Controlling Water Supply
There are innumerable ways to use the CD drive to clamp the water, and typically this is a good problem to leave to the students. Consider asking them to draw what they want and then help them put it together. The most common and easiest is to put a tube from a reservoir above the CD drive down to the plant, and then pinch it with the CD Drive.
Some other ideas included: Using the motion to kink the tube, tipping a cup, and pressing the lever of a watering hose.

That's smart btw we do that with the Christmas tree
Great idea, especially from the educational perspective.
One suggestion (based on experience): do not hold the soil probe under voltage at all times - it will erode in a matter of couple of weeks. What I have done for my plant watering system was power the probe from a digital pin instead of a power pin, and measure once an hour only. Power it up by bringing the pin high, wait a little to let it settle, measure and turn off by bringing the pin low (if you use pin 13 the onboard LED will serve as a measurement indicator). Afterall plant watering does not need to be a real time system.
That's a great idea, thank you.

Shoeless Joe Essay, Research Paper
Ray Kinsella helped other people fulfill their dreams by traveling for miles to find them, and bring them back to his field of dreams. In the book Shoeless Joe, W.P. Kinsella wrote about how some people were missing something in their lives, but they found what they had been looking for when they arrived at Ray's field. Ray built a baseball field to fulfill his unfulfilled dreams of the past. Ray's father died when he was a teenager, so Ray did not get to spend much time with him. Ray had always longed to see his father again and this dream came true when he built the field. Others had unquenchable dreams like Ray. Archibald Graham never got to bat in the majors, and that was what was missing in his life. When Archie Graham came to Ray's field, he found the thread that tied the meaning of his life together. Eddie Scissons also had an unrealized dream, all his life he had lied about himself being the oldest living Chicago Cub, but he was only looking for the recognition that he had always dreamt of having. When he came to Ray's field, he no longer had to lie about himself being the oldest living Chicago Cub, for that's exactly what he became. Ray's field of dreams helped fulfill the dreams of other men besides himself, and it made all the men very happy to finally find what they have been looking for all their lives.
Ray Kinsella was called upon by forces left unknown to the readers and himself to go on both a physical journey as well as a journey of the heart. After hearing voices proclaiming, "If you build it, they will come," Ray risked the economic and emotional stability of the family he loved dearly to build a baseball field. At first, Ray Kinsella was highly skeptical, but eventually he realized the significance of his obscure calling. Upon the completion of the baseball field, "Shoeless Joe Jackson", the baseball player who had been his father's hero before he passed away, suddenly appeared in the field to talk with Ray and to play baseball. As the book progressed, Ray continued to receive messages. After each new message, Ray was called upon to further his journey. This journey involved traveling to various cities around the United States, as well as facing issues within himself that he has successfully hidden from for years. He built the field to fulfill his unfulfilled dreams of the past. The one thing that Ray was missing in his life was that he never went to a live baseball game with his father. He also did not get to spend much time with him. Ray explained how he was never able to go to a live baseball game when he said, "We were always going to go to a major-league baseball game, he and I. But the time was never right, the money always needed for something else" (13). Ray would do anything to see his father again so he built his field. When Ray heard the announcer say, "Catching and batting eighth is Johnny Kinsella," it was the happiest moment of his life. He described his happiness when he said, "My breath escapes like air hissing from a tire. I stare down to where he crouches, warming up the pitcher. My class B catcher who played in the minors in Florida and California. My father. My dream has been fulfilled, my request granted" (168). The reason for his journey, and the path to follow were never clearly manifested to Ray Kinsella. Blind faith and perhaps a bit mythically guided of insanity were all that drove him to continue on his journey. Throughout his journey, Ray never once knew where the next piece to the puzzle was located. Only at the end of his journey was it at last made clear to him the purpose for his quest. Years ago, when Ray was an adolescent, he had a falling out with his father that he never resolved. After the death of his father, John Kinsella, Ray was overcome with a sense of guilt and emptiness due to the fact that the horrible conflict with his father would never be resolved. Completing his journey allowed him to make amends with his deceased father and alleviate himself of the eternal burden of never forgiving his father or being forgiven himself for the painful words they had exchanged. Ray's greatest dream was fulfilled, by sseing his father again, and he finally found what he had been missing all his life. It was almost as if he brought his father back to life. Ray was a happy man when he got to walk and talk with his father. "As the three of us walk across the vast emerald lake that is the outfield, I think of all the things I'll want to talk to the catcher about . . . and we'll hardly realize that we're talking of love, and family, and life, and beauty, and friendship, and sharing" (215). When he was walking with his father, he enjoyed every minute of it and he was happy that his dream finally came true.
There was also a void in Archie Graham's life, until he came to Ray's field. He never got the chance to bat in the majors. Archie only played one inning in the outfield, and that was his only major league experience. "He returns and hands to me, tenderly as a nurse passing a new child to its mother, the box score of Moonlight Graham's only major-league game" (95). When Ray saw Archie's game statistics, it showed that he only got to play outfield for an inning and never got to bat. Archie's dream was fulfilled when he played and batted on Ray's field of dreams. When Archie stepped into Ray's car on the way back to Iowa, he was on his way to the field where his dream would come true. "The pitcher fires and Moonlight takes a curve ball for a strike. As he throws again, Moonlight snaps the bat forward and the ball sails in a high arc to right center. The center fielder backs up a couple of steps, lops a few strides to his left, and makes the catch" (170). The narrator described Moonlight's first at bat in the majors, his dream come true. Archie was looking for somewhere to play baseball and he came to the right place. By playing on the field, it made him realize something. As he stepped out of the field and turned into a doctor, it made him realize that he was always meant to be a doctor and not a baseball player. "His baseball uniform fades away and is replaced by a black overcoat . . . The man who without a backward glance walks around the corner of the fence . . . is not Moonlight Graham . . . but the Doc Graham I spoke with on that moonlit night in Chisholm, Minnesota . . ." (208). By coming to Ray's field, he realized that he was meant to be a doctor and not a professional baseball player.
Eddie Scissons lied about himself being the oldest living Chicago Cub, but he was only looking for the recognition that he dreamed of having. His dream also came true on Rays field. " He never played in the major leagues. Not only that, but he hardly played in the minors Cone year, part-time, for a Class D team in Montana, over sixty years ago. And he's been passing himself off around here for forty years as a Chicago cub, the oldest living one" (182). Mark told everyone that Eddie was a total fraud for forty years. Ray understood that Eddie only wanted more attention, which was why he lied about himself being the oldest living Chicago Cub. Eddie's dream was fulfilled when he saw himself play for the Chicago Cubs on Ray's field. Eddie came out to play when the announcer said, "Now pitching for the Chicago Cubs, Kid Scissons" (189). Eddie Scissons finally became the oldest living Chicago Cub, and he was no longer a fraud. He could finally get the recognition he always wanted, without lying. Eddie died a happy, proud man. He finally saw himself play for the Chicago Cubs. Eddie could now wear his uniform and say he played for the Cubs, without getting laughed at. "He opened the door and found Eddie dead. Eddie must have had a premonition, for he had changed into his Chicago Cubs uniform. His cap, glove, and brand-new spikes were laid out beside his bed" (196). Eddie wanted to die wearing his Chicago Cub uniform to show how proud he was to play in the majors. Eddie was no longer a fraud and his statistics would now be found in the baseball encyclopedia.
Ray's field helped fulfill his own dream as well as the dreams of other men, and these were all dreams that the men would never forget. Ray built the field to see his father again, and this dream did come true. He was thrilled when he saw his father warming up on the field. He was breathless when he got the chance to walk and talk with his father again. Moonlight Graham finally got to bat in the majors just like he always dreamed. Graham hit the ball to right center, and this was his first hit in the majors. Eddie Scissons finally got to play for the Chicago Cubs. When he saw himself trot on to the field he jumped for joy. When the announcer announced his name, Eddie was proud that he could now prove that he was the oldest living Chicago Cub. Ray built the field mainly for his own dreams, but it turned out that he also fulfilled to dreams of other men, and all these fulfilled dreams made them very happy.

Islamic State militants have reportedly moved west, engaging in fighting with the Syrian Army in the embattled city of Homs.
Islamic State fighters attacked a military airport in Syria's Homs province on Monday as they pushed on with an offensive against government strongholds towards the west, a monitoring group said.
Skirmishes by Islamic State — which is strongest in the northeast and east — into the provinces of Homs, Hama and even Damascus pose a fresh challenge for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Syria's army has carved a bulwark of territory from Damascus through the cities of Homs and Hama to the western coast by defeating other, less powerful militias including rebels fighting under the banner of the Free Syrian Army.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which tracks the violence through a network of sources in the country, said Islamic State attacked a military airport in Tadmur, a town in Homs province, early on Monday.
Syrian officials could not immediately be reached for comment, and the fighting was not reported on state media.
The offensive followed a three-day battle that erupted on Friday further west in Hama around Sheikh Hilal village, the Observatory said. Islamic State was trying to cut the road from Hama to Aleppo, once Syria's most populous city, it added.
Observatory head Rami Abdulrahman, said 74 soldiers in Hama had been killed by Islamic State, which he speculated launched both attacks to raise morale after losses to Kurdish forces in the northeast.
Around 200,000 people have been killed since 2011 in Syria's civil war, which pits Assad against a range of rebels including jihadist groups such as Islamic State and al Qaeda's Nusra Front. A U.S-led coalition is bombarding Islamic State in both Syria and Iraq.
Kurdish forces, backed by coalition air strikes, defeated Islamic State in the northern Syria town of Kobani this year and other areas in the northeast.
Syrian state television said Syria's army killed 19 Islamic State fighters on Monday in the eastern province of Deir al-Zor, one of the insurgent group's strongholds.
Government supporters posted a video on YouTube on Saturday showing trucks covered in the national flag carrying coffins of people said to have been killed fighting Islamic State in Hama province.
The footage was said to be taken in Salamiyah, a religiously-diverse town east of Hama that has been attacked by jihadist brigades.
An Islamic State fighter told Reuters on condition of anonymity that the Hama campaign aimed to eventually take Salamiyah. "The ultimate goal is liberate Salamiya and Hama but it will not happen before Islamic State is 100 percent ready," he said.
