Although Olympic focus has been trained on Rio, the gringa would like to take the dear reader back in time and to the other side of the globe to the 2008 Beijing Olympics. When China was preparing to host this historical event, pollution was high on the list of problems to solve. Although everyone is probably familiar with the tactic of temporary bans on driving & factory operations as drastic measures to help reduce smog. What many may not be aware of is China's ambitious plans to control the weather, a $30 million dollar plan that they are still working on today. A plan to shoot into the heavens special "bullets" filled with salt and other minerals. What in the world are those crazy Chinese scientists up to? Apparently, nothing new! They're just trying to make it rain.
Officially called "weather modification", China helped clear their smog-filled skies during the Olympic games by making it rain, rain, rain. They are not alone in being rainmakers. Fifty-two other countries have developed their own rainmaking strategies. Ten of these countries joining the rainmaking team only five years ago. Rainmaking countries include: Canada, United States, Mexico, Cuba, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Australia, India, Senegal, South Africa, Russia and the list goes on. You can see the map created by the World Meteorological Organization to see who all is in on the rainmaking game.
The gringa is rather ashamed to admit that as for the United States, the origins of its weather modification program is not as noble as China's. For the U.S., it all started with Operation Popeye which was a top secret program that weaponized weather during the Vietnam War. Although I'm sure the scientists who worked for General Electric had noble intentions, they probably had no idea that the U.S. government was going to take their technology and rain down silver iodide on the poor Vietnamese people.
But I digress. Back to China. In addition to creating rain to saturate polluted air and get rid of smog, they also wanted to prevent rain from spoiling events taking place in the stadium that was dubbed the "Bird's Nest". To achieve this amazing god-like feat, the Chinese implemented a 3 stage weather modification strategy:
Now was all of this really necessary? The Beijing Olympics were held in August which is a high precipitation season for China so, yes, the gringa supposes that it was necessary. Consequently, China's success in being a master rainmaker or rainstaller has resulted in China being the world leader in the weather modification sciences. They have more than 1,500 professionals devoted to all things necessary in controlling the weather: scientists, pilots, flight crews. Also proudly serving in the program are tens of thousands of peasant farmers who are more than happy to help their government blast away a cloud when crops have been inundated or have clouds seeded during times of drought. Peasants are on call to operate more than 7,000 aircraft guns and almost 5,000 rocket launchers when called to report to rainmaking duty.
The gringa is not too sure what to make of all this. For the most part I am the type to believe that the less we interfere with nature, the better. However, considering how bad mankind has screwed things up where climate change is concerned, it may just be that Mother Nature could use a few rainmakers. So, I say to the Chinese:
Let it rain. Let it rain. Let it rain.

Common sense might tell you that technology and nature are mutually exclusive. However, the reality is that with climate change poised to revolutionize where humans farm, technology innovators are poised to revolutionize how we farm. And there are all kinds of ideas out there that are as fascinating as they are practical.
Aquaponics is something the gringa would like to try. I have a small tropical fish aquarium I have experimented with over the past year. I feel ready for a greater challenge. This method will not only provide me with vegetables, but they will be fertilized by the poop produced by the food fish I will also farm in the same tank. An added plus is that my pint sized vegetable patch and fish farm can be an interesting decorative addition to my pint size apartment. This may be the future of urban farming for apartment dwellers.
Easy DIY aquaponics project:
5 best fish for an aquaponics aquarium garden…
If you want to take your urban farming further than an apartment patio garden or indoor aquaponics garden, maybe the FarmBot is for you. If you live in a house with outdoor spaces, the FarmBot, which operates on a track system, can easily manage a backyard farm from beginning to end and provide enough fresh fruits and vegetables for a family of four each growing season. It plants seeds, waters and fertilizes each plant according to its variety needs, weeds the garden, and can be controlled from your smartphone or laptop just like playing a video game. The gringa thinks this sounds fun.
For larger scale operations, artificial intelligence is taking over all sorts of chores that were once managed by humans. By using cameras and sensors, technology responds to climate conditions to optimize water usage. There is more to collected data than just evaluating rainfall and soil moisture levels. Plants are analyzed down to individual leaves for health and nutrition needs. Clouds are analyzed to predict potential rainfall which might result in delaying a watering activity that might otherwise have been performed, thus conserving one of Earth's most precious natural resources. For farmers and gardeners interested in the latest sustainable methods. Some of the biggest retailers of agricultural products are being supplied by growers using this kind of technology: Wal Mart, Aldi and Tesco.
A promising future in agriculture awaits our youth who are interested in robotics, technology and saving the world.

In April of this year NASA released findings related to the Earth's melting ice sheets. Often when the gringa things about climate change, warming temperatures and melting ice sheets, the only thing I consider is how sea levels will rise. It never occurred to me that ice sheet disintegration may result in a more wobbly world.
Think about the traditional children's toy, the spinning top. It's a bit like our world. As it slows its spin it begins to wobble. As ice sheets melt and the balance of Earth begins to shift, we will, indeed, experience a global wobble. Scientists officially define this as a "periodic wobble and drift of the poles". All the gringa wants to know is, "What exactly does this mean for me? Am I going to fall on my patootie trying to walk to my car?"
NASA asserts that over the past sixteen years Antarctica and Greenland, combined, have averaged about 400 billion tons of ice loss annually. Before the year 2000, as Earth spun on its axis it had a gentle drift toward Canada (westward). Because of ice loss, now the drift is about 75 degrees in the opposite direction, eastward. This happens because as ice converts to water and moves elsewhere, the distribution of Earth's mass changes. What this means exactly is that the location of the North and South poles will change. In other words, Earth's axis is relocating.
Now, the traditional location of Earth's North Pole may have to be renamed to the Northeastern Pole. Earth's axis is like an invisible pin stuck through the Earth from North to South. The Earth spins on the tip of the pin, rotating with a slight wobble that is normal. However, if the geographic location of the Poles change, complete topographical and satellite telemetry systems have to be adjusted to accommodate this change. For the average person, this means that your GPS is going to deliver you to the wrong place!
Scientists have long known that the Poles shift by a few centimeters from time to time as a part of Earth's natural climate adjustment cycles. But what we are dealing with now is much more dramatic. Experts estimate that the shift is averaging about ten centimeters Eastward annually. Our great-great-grandchildren may have to adjust Christmas stories to have Santa Claus living in Russia or Norway.
Although scientists understand that as ice continues to melt the Earth will adjust by shifting its axis to the place where it has lost mass, even their best predictions are really just a guess. This is an extremely complex problem. It's not just melting ice sheets that affect the process but also loss of groundwater in above ground reservoirs and underground aquifers (which underground aquifers cannot be accurately measured) as well as glacier melt and glacier movement. Many glaciers float about the ocean as they please.
The Earth's ice and water storage formula affects polar drift. Yet many of the variables in the formula cannot be measured or can change their individual affect. So, scientists are left scratching their heads, doing the best with what they've got, and hazarding their best guess on what humanity can expect.
Ice melt is not the only thing that can bump the North Pole to a different location. Enormous earthquakes and devastating tsunamis can do the job as well. Indonesia's great earthquake moved the North Pole eastward by about 2.5 centimeters and also lengthened Earth's day cycle by 2.68 microseconds. No wonder I've been so tired lately! The gringa is filled with wonder at how humans remain at the mercy of nature despite all of our technological advances.

We spoke to Paula Cocozza about her debut novel, How to be Human, and what it's like to be longlisted for the Desmond Elliott Prize.
When Mary arrives home from work one day to find a magnificent fox on her lawn – his ears spiked in attention and every hair bristling with his power to surprise – it is only the beginning. He brings gifts (at least Mary imagines they are gifts) and gradually makes himself at home. And as he listens to Mary, Mary listens back. She begins to hear herself for the first time in years. Her bullish ex-boyfriend, still lurking on the fringes of her life, would be appalled. So would the neighbours with a new baby. They only like wildlife that fits with the décor. But inside Mary, a wildness is growing that will not be tamed.
Praise from the Desmond Elliott Prize: "In her garden of earthy delights, a young woman takes a walk on the wild side that will lead her back to herself. In this parallel wilderness, reality bites with insouciant wit. For Mary Green, Cocozza has created a persona as winning and as wily as her invited guest, a couple couched at peace and not at bay. Nature and nurture confide in epicurean harmony. She takes us under their skin, to explore and to interpret with divining skill, and to touch the heart. Anthropomorphism made eloquence, realism made magical."
Where did the idea for your debut novel come from?
I was helping some neighbours clear a wasteland behind our gardens. It had always seemed a magical space: somewhere to look at from an upstairs window, but never enter. The nettles were head-high. In April the wild garlic flowered. When we climbed over our back walls we found all sorts of waste. A rabbit hutch, old bicycles, the rusty arms of wheelbarrows, hundreds of ornamental green bottles, coils of old mattresses, and spade after spade of broken glass. It was impossible to put a fork in the earth without pulling out rubbish. While we worked, I became conscious of being watched. Sometimes the fox – or should that be foxes? – hung around. Other times, we would go out in the morning and find the fox had left some kind of message. When I dug a hole, the fox dug a hole inside my hole. When I put down turf, the fox lifted it up. It was easy to read into these moments some kind of kindred language of gesture and action. I became interested in the way the fox could be pure fox, just going about its fox business, yet a human could feel sympathetically addressed. Both things were simultaneously possible. I remember saying aloud, 'I'm going to write a story about a fox.' My neighbour looked bemused. I said it again, and he still looked bemused. I didn't realise it was a novel for months. It just grew.
How does it feel to be longlisted for the Desmond Elliott Prize?
To have the book appreciated and valued by a judging panel for a prize whose literary values I have always respected feels fortifying and heartening and wonderful. I work as a journalist in my day job and fiction writing is a bit of a secret life, so to be recognised for it feels as if someone has lifted up the stone I hide under and seen me! I'm enjoying the sun on my back.
What was the most challenging thing about your journey to becoming a published author?
Making a commitment to write. I grew up humble and shy. All my life I had been writing in my head. But it never occurred to me, even in my 30s, that I might be able to write fiction on paper. In my day job at the time I edited rather than wrote. But I was unhappy in my work. I went away for a couple of nights and packed a big, blank sheet of card. I planned to fathom out my next move. I remember writing down 'gardener' and 'fitness instructor' – ideas that seemed hilarious pretty soon after – and 'writer'. When I looked at the sheet, all the words about writing were clustered at one end, and all the energy on the page was there. It was as if I had tipped up the paper and everything had slid to that corner. My brain had thought it, my hand had written it. It must be true. I applied for a creative writing MA. I knew that would be the only way I would ever commit. I had a job three long days a week and two young children. I needed to make writing mandatory, irrefusable, a timetabled part of my life.
What one piece of advice would you give to an aspiring novelist?
Keep going till you reach the end.
What is your favourite debut novel of all time?
God's Own Country by Ross Raisin. I love the narrative voice, the skewed pastoral, the humour on the edge of horror. I reread it when I was getting started and it helped me to understand the importance of landscape… even if the landscape for me was an east London garden.

Performancelist.com Broadcast Services Reach Consumers First!
Here's how it works...
Automotive enthusiasts are first directed to the Performancelist.com subscription registry from links embedded on SEMA member sites, automotive media sites, Internet search engines and print media. Once they have arrived, enthusiasts register their vehicle for free by make and model in exchange for the opportunity to receive only model-targeted e-mail announcements containing the latest news, events, specials and product announcements for their car, truck or SUV. Embedded hot-links within the e-mail can further direct the customer to a picture on the (announcing) company's website and if desired, further direct them to the nearest dealer for purchase. Quality and relevant information, to those that want to know, is what it's all about.
What's the advantage to a SEMA member or a media organization?
It enables the opportunity to broadcast product announcements, special offers, car shows, racing events and subscription specials with "rifle-shot" accuracy to a large audience of receptive enthusiasts who have given their permission to be addressed. Such speed, precision and mass have never before been attainable. With postage cost at zero, Performancelist.com strategic partners will quickly recognize the value.
SEMA themselves (via their consumer site enjoythedrive.com) use our services to announce news, legislative and event information to consumers.
Permission has been granted via "opt-in". The most powerful way to communicate on the Internet...
Developed as a permission-marketing site known as "opt-in", it encourages registration and develops a database of clients who want to receive continued quality and relevant information from SEMA, SEMA member companies and media organizations. As a permission site, the ability to "unsubscribe" is also made easy. This subscribe/unsubscribe feature allows the consumer to be in control while at the same time establishing the targeted database as viable, effective and directed only to enthusiasts that are open to product annou ncements and other related messages.
Because it's on the Internet, here's the "Free" Business Model you can take advantage of as a partner...
Once linked and established for ninety days, participating SEMA members and media organizations will be able to deliver announcements on a contribution-measured basis at no charge. For every one thousand subscribers that are hot-link directed from the partner's website to the Performancelist.com registry (it's all recorded automatically), they will be able to send three model-specific announcements at no charge (one make-model broadcast alone can reach in excess of 11,000 consumers as is the case with some of vehicle list such as the Honda Civic and Mazda Miata).
For those that choose to pay...Announcement quantities beyond the contribution-measured basis are charged only a nominal per-name fee of $250.00 per 1000 with volume discounts and partner discounts that will reduce the name per 1000 cost. We're happy to just have you partner with us and earn free broadcast credits as consumers register from your site. It's your choice. Performancelist.com digitally transmits distribution of e-mail announcements to the subscribers.
What SEMA members and media organizations must do first...

In his latest weekly note, DB's derivatives analyst Alekandar Kocic focuses on the interplay between US inflation expectations and US equities, and points out something curious, and very much spot on:
Policy response to the crisis post-2008 consisted of unprecedented injection of liquidity, transfer of risk from private to public balance sheet, and reduction of volatility from its toxic levels. The net result was near-zero rate levels and collapse of volatility across the board, while different market sectors developed high degrees of coordination. The last effect has been an indirect result of the central banks' flows and the distortions they introduced in the bond market. In this environment other markets acted as a complement to rates (through which monetary policy was transmitted) and crowding out there pushed investors to articulate their views elsewhere. Their participation was a function of amount of liquidity injection. As a consequence everything was trading off of US inflation expectations as the main expression of the QE effects.
That was the case for the first 5 years of "unconventional policy" until some time in 2013. Then something snapped. Kocic continues:
With deflation as the main risk tackled by monetary policy, its success or failure was gauged by the ability to reflate the economy. Inflation expectations and breakevens were therefore signals for risk-on or risk-off trade. In fact, most market sectors, from FX to EM equities, were trading in high coordination with breakevens. Taper tantrum was the end of these correlations and a beginning of dispersion across different assets. In effect, it was the unwind of the "QE" trade, its first phase. While most other assets, like credit spreads, EM equities or different currencies, do not have a logical connection with US breakevens, US equities do. The dispersion between these assets and breakevens was an expected consequence of policy unwind. However, for US equities this unwind distorted their "natural" correlation with inflation. Persistence of these dislocations is just a manifestation of to what extent QE has been an important driver of post-2008 markets.
Which brings us to the punchline:
Since 2013, stocks rallied while disinflationary pressures were reinforced by a strong USD, low commodity prices and a decline in global demand. If pre-2013 coordination between the two is taken as a reference, then based on current stock prices breakevens should trade about 1.5% wider. This means the Fed should be hiking because inflation is above target. Alternatively, given the current level of inflation, S&P should be trading at half of its value.
Wait, the S&P should be trading at 900... or even less? Yes, according to the following Deutsche Bank chart:
Only one question remains: which breaks first - do inflation expectations surge higher, soaring by some 150 bps to justify equity valuations, or do equities crash?
Is reconciliation likely – and, if so, in which direction? Are we returning to the pre-crisis world, or we are in a completely new regime?
The answer will come from none other than the Fed and by now, even Janet Yellen knows that one word out of place, one signal to the market that the QE-inflation trade will converge with stocks crashing instead of inflation rising (which, unless the Fed launched QE4, NIRP of even helicopter money now appears inevitable), and some $10 trillion in market cap could evaporate overnight.
Is it any wonder that Yellen is exhibiting "health issues" during her speeches: the realization that the fate of the biggest stock market bubble lies on your shoulders would make anyone "dehydrated."
In retrospect, Ben Bernanke knew exactly what he was doing when he got out of Dodge just as the endgame was set to begin.

1 Nacre Deposition Rate in Japanese and Hybrid Mother Oysters, Pinctada Fucata, and Its Relationship with Their Respective Pearls
Authors: Gunawan Muhammad, Takashi Atsumi, Akira Komaru
Abstract:Pinctada fucata has been the most important pearl culture species in Japan and known as Japanese Akoya Pearl Oyster. However, during summer 1994, mass mortality devastated pearl culture in most parts of Japan. Therefore, pearl farmers started to import Chinese Pearl Oysters from Hainan Island that came from the same species because they are believed to be more resistant towards high water temperature, despite their lack of ability in producing high-quality pearls. The local farmers were then hybridized Japanese and Chinese pearl oysters and currently known as Hybrid pearl oysters, as an attempt to produce a new oyster's strain which is more resistant towards high temperature but also able to produce higher quality pearls. However, despite both strains were implanted by mantle tissues from the same group of donors, the thickness of pearl nacre produced by both strains was different, even though tablet thickness shows a rather similar pattern. Hence, this leads to a question of whether mother oysters play a major role in both nacre deposition rate and tablet thickness of pearls or not. This study first describes the nacre deposition rate of the shells of Japanese and Hybrid mother oysters towards the water temperature condition in Ago Bay, Mie Prefecture, Japan. Later, a comparative study was conducted among 4 shell positions that had been chosen according to the mantle tissue location and shell growth directions. A correlative study was then taken between shells and pearls nacre deposition rate to know whether mother oyster ability in depositing nacre on their shells is related to that of pearls. All the four shell positions were significantly different in shell nacre growth rate (Kruskal-Wallis, p-value < 0.05), and the third position have faster nacre growth among the other three both in Japanese and Hybrid strains, especially in warm temperature. The ability to deposit nacre between Japanese and Hybrid during warm water conditions (August and September) is also significantly different in almost all positions (Mann Whitney U, p-value < 0.01), Japanese oyster growth faster than Hybrid in all four positions. This leads to a different total growth among the two strains and a higher possibility of thicker nacre thickness in Japanese shell nacre. Tablet thickness is significantly different among all positions of shells (Kruskal-Wallis, p-value < 0.01), the 2nd position deposited rather thinner tablet thickness than the other three, including on the 6th month of culture which is more desirable in producing pearls with good luster. This result gives us new information that pearl growth rate is highly affected by the mother oysters; however, nacre tablet thickness might be the result of the shell matrix expressed by different mantle position from donor oysters.

Julianna Snow is dying of an incurable disease. She's stable at the moment, but any germ that comes her way, even just the common cold virus, could kill her. She's told her parents that the next time this happens, she wants to die at home instead of going to the hospital for treatment. If Julianna were an adult, there would be no debate about her case: She would get to decide when to say "enough" to medical care and be allowed to die. But Julianna is 5 years old. Should her parents have let her know how grave her situation is? Should they have asked her about her end-of-life wishes? And now that those wishes are known, should her parents heed them?

This paper presents an ultra-low power versatile temperature/capacitive/resistive sensor interface. The proposed highly versatile sensor interface can support a wide variety of different sensors. Most importantly, the entire sensor interface platform consumes only dynamic power, making the power consumption scales inherently and efficiently with the measurement rate and resolution, which is crucial to enable the intelligent on-chip control (instincts) for Phoenix. When comparing this prototype with prior arts, it is the only work that provides 3 sensing modes combined with adaptive power versus measurement rate and resolution. Besides, state-of-the-art energy efficiency are achieved for all the sensing modes, with a minimum power down to only 0.34nW.Read More
A 0.34-571nW All-Dynamic Versatile Sensor Interface for Temperature, Capacitance, and Resistance Sensing
With the development of mobile devices and Internet-of-Things, the demand for low-power circuits has been growing rapidly. Electronics that used to consume milli-Watts of power may now consume as little as a few nano-Watt, thanks to improvements in technology and design. In this paper, we look at one of the key building blocks of electronic circuits: the Analog-to-Digital Converter or ADC. First, we review the progress of low-power ADCs over the years in terms of performance and limitations, and we describe approaches how to further advance the state of the art. Various examples will be shown to illustrate the diversity of techniques and ideas within the field, and we give an outlook to the future.Read More

Diamonds and Dogs
Alphabet (GOOG) becoming the Berkshire Hathaway of the Internet. Google jumped 3.8% to new highs following better than expected earnings. Revenues rose 25.6% year over year to $32.66 billion. Alphabet's investments in emerging businesses are starting to bear fruit — including YouTube, autonomous cars and cloud computing — drawing comparison to Berkshire Hathaway's success. Alphabet also posted a $1.06 billion gain in its equity investments for the time period.
Whirlpool(WHR) swirling lower. Whirlpool dropped 14% to a new low following disappointing earnings and guidance. The chief contributors to the earnings miss and the company's biggest concerns going forward are the cost of steel and resin that go into making the large metal boxes that become washing machines, dryers, stoves and refrigerators. The two other important factors are freight, affected by the cost of fuel and a shortage of drivers in the trucking industry, and tariffs, including those imposed by President Donald Trump's administration on steel imports earlier this year. Other than that, the company is doing great.

In this post, I published a list of books to prevent multiple sclerosis. Beware: to prevent and not to heal. In these books you could also find suggestions about new treatments for this disease, but since I am not a doctor, but a book reviewer, my only interest is only to suggest books which contain the best solution to prevent MS. In my opinion, this is the worst disease of our century, along with cancer. Both of them are chronic diseases relating to different organs of the human body, but with equal causes. Both of them can be caused by genes or environmental conditions or lifestyle. When diseases are caused genetically, many solutions described in medical and science books can be pointless, but when diseases are caused by bad diet and lifestyle or particular environmental conditions, the suggestions of books can be very helpful.
I published this list because I lost one of my loved ones a couple of months ago, just for a disease which was very similar to multiple sclerosis. I prefer not to talk about this experience because it is possible you are living the same and I don't want remind or raise anguish or grief. I only know that multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases are increasing in developed countries and are becoming as real as an awful outbreak. To tell the truth, not so global, but located in Western and developed countries in which there are more pollution, diet with saturated fats and smokers. Some researchers proved that in underdeveloped countries multiple sclerosis rarely begins, while in the western countries, every day a new patient is diagnosed with this disease.
And so? What we can do to stop this outbreak, and, above all, what we must do to prevent it? The foundation of a long life is surely a healthy diet and lifestyle along with living in a not polluted environment. Our cells and neurons can't resist the bad habits forever, it is as if we forced our cells and neurons to get crazy until to the point to attack us and our same body. Among others, the term "autoimmune disease" relates just to this: the human body attacks itself. Sometimes, I think that our neurons and cells don't recognize our body because our body is unrecognizable, by now.
Unfortunately, I am not a doctor and I am unable to give you a medical reply about to heal and prevent multiple sclerosis. However, I am absolutely sure that a proper diet and lifestyle can do miracles to prevent the unbalance of the immune system and autoimmune diseases. I suggest that you stay away from books and websites that reveal magical medicines to heal multiple sclerosis written by people who are not doctors. Focus your attention, instead, on books written by established doctors, nutritional biologists and other professionals who treated and know multiple sclerosis.
The list of the best books to prevent sclerosis multiple is not so long, but the long lists you can find at other places could be misleading for you. That is why I selected a list of diet and inspirational books which can really help us to prevent multiple sclerosis.
The best book I feel to advise is titled The Wahls Protocol: A Radical New Way to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions Using Paleo Principlesby Terry Wahls. The book was released in 2014 and has been written by a doctor and a physician.
The second book on this list is: Healing Multiple Sclerosis: Diet, Detox & Nutritional Makeover for Total Recovery. Also, if this book talks about healing multiple sclerosis, suggests some good practices to consider, above all, when we feel good, especially diet and suggestions to detoxify our body and prevent multiple sclerosis. The author is Ann Boroch, certified nutritional consultant and naturopath, who wrote the book in 2013 and released a new revised edition in 2014.
Although it was written in 1987, a very useful book to prevent autoimmune disease and multiple sclerosis is: The Multiple Sclerosis Diet Book: A Low-Fat Diet for the Treatment of M.S., Revised and Expanded Edition
I also recommend this book:The MS Recovery Diet: Identify the Foods That Will Heal Your Disease. As you can see, these are books written by doctors to treat multiple sclerosis, but I suggest that you read them to discover diet and food to prevent it.
To prevent this disease, another book to learn a good lifestyle is: Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis: An Evidence-Based Guide to Recovery.
To prevent serious diseases as multiple sclerosis, also prepare the recipes in this cookbook: Cooking Well: Multiple Sclerosis: Over 75 Easy and Delicious Recipes for Nutritional Healing. I saw other books online, but these specifically talk about theories and new therapies for sclerosis multiple.
Since I respect people with severe diseases, I think that treatment must performed with the help of established doctors. Health books like the one I mentioned above can instead provide new clues to prevent and avoid diseases. To know more about this disease, instead, I suggest that you read the books listed on the official website of National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Tiko Blue Coffee Set.
This is a beautiful example of the much rarer cobalt blue variation of this timeless classic.
Tiko is a range of items from the famous ELLGREAVE potteries in Burslam Staffordshire.
Although it is difficult to put a precise age on this set it can be confirmed that it is at least 30 years old as the factory closed in 1981.
The Tiko range was primarily produced in the much more common brown variation but I am sure you will agree this Cobalt Blue set is simply gorgeous.

The Best Life Transformation Tips
In the today's world, nearly everyone is trying to find a solution to something that has caused sleepless nights; perhaps it's poverty, addiction, laziness, or even conditions such as the insomnia.
And then there will be hundreds of service providers that claim to offer working solutions that these people need.
But the thing is, the real problem together with its remedy is located deep within the subject. You see, people change; new situations come and go, and then new perspectives are acquired every time there is an issue.
So it all depends with the individual to adjust themselves to accommodate the prevailing situations, in case they can't change anything. If, for example, you choose to do some business and your later find out that it is not going to work, all you should do is to learn something out of it and start doing something different. Change your strategy of approaching life.
Here are some great life transformation insights that are helpful when it comes living life to the fullest.
To begin with, you need to know where you are going. You need to know what you want so that you can get to where you want. Write down your life's goals, and more importantly, you need to be specific about things you need and why you need them.
Understanding why you need the things you want will offer you the determination and strength that you need to get what you want. You also get to know if you truly need what you are fighting to have.
You also need to consider taking scenic routes. Imagine things have a vision. If you can visualize things, and have such a vivid image, there are high chances that you will succeed at getting what you want.
You also need someone to guide you. Be it a role model, an acquaintance, all you need is someone who has succeeded in doing the things you plan to do. You see, your coach will help you improve your skills in your goal area. Your journey will be smoother if you have someone to cheer you up. There are some great motivational speakers out there, such as Jo Englesson and Francine Rahe; you may have to follow them on some of the social platforms or even download their motivational videos.
You need to consider having a clear road map. You need to map your steps or actions – these steps will help you reach where you are.
You also need to fuel yourself with a positive talk, motivating words and even upbeat interactions. You should be able to find resources such as articles to will fuel your journey towards realizing your goals, and more essentially, enroll in training such as Gratitude Training Jo Englesson and Gratitude Training Francine Rahe.

The time has come. It's time to let go.
I'm ready.
I have been moving in this direction for a while now.
Turning over stones, examining dark corners, and digging deep.
Peeling away the layers that have wrapped themselves around my heart.
I have been remembering.
And I have put the many wonderful memories in a good place.
There is no lingering sadness, anger or resentment.
Only understanding, compassion, and acceptance.
I have been feeling. Despair and pain. Hurt and betrayal. Lost and alone.
And then joy and peace and gratitude.
For everything in life is either a lesson, a blessing, or a gift.
This was a gift.
It gave me back myself. It showed me I could open my heart all the way.
I could love with every part of my being.
And that I can still grow and learn and believe.
I've learned the difference between letting go and holding on. I choose to let go.
Because letting go is the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Letting go is opening a door, and clearing a path and setting myself free.
And so I hugged him, told him I had loved him with all my heart, and then I let him go.

I am always in awe of my babies. I'm in awe of all they have accomplished and who they are becoming. They surprise me all the time, and one of the best ways they do is through their unique creativity.
Now that I'm also working outside our home, Lauren has a lot of questions about what I do. I recently gave presentation that I talked to Lauren about. It was last month, and to be honest, I haven't thought about it again. I've been working on other things and a millions things at once.
Today Lauren came up to me and said, "Mom, I need your help to do a presentation." I told her I would love to help her and asked why she wanted to do a presentation. She said, "I can do one like you!" Well, that warmed my heart and made me so proud. I was all in.
She designed a set, we made a storyboard, we practiced, and she gave her presentation which was really a fable/fairytale with a blend of characters from some of her favorite places which included The Good Wolf and a happy ending. It was INCREDIBLE!
She wanted to surprise her daddy and brothers, and she definitely did. She was a great storyteller and even wrote it down to keep. It was a wonderful tale of friends who banned together to solve their problems and have a party. She was positively precious and engaging and entertaining!
Everyday I'm so proud of this sweet girl, and today I'm reminded how every word counts. I'm reminded that in the things that slip my mind, there can be something important to my kids that spark interest and imagination in them. Today I'm challenged to always be mindful.
I can't wait to see who she becomes! For today she's a wonderful creative playwright, set designer, narrator, and the coolest big kid I know!

Third Annual NIFF Promises to be Biggest and Best Yet!
Ready. Set. Action. Organizers of The Niagara Integrated Film Festival (NIFF) are gearing up for the third annual event this June that is set to take place from June 10 to June 19 at multiple venues across the Niagara Region. The Festival will feature brand new locations, an added weekend of screenings and extended programming.
"We're really excited about this year's Festival and promise that it will be the biggest and best yet," said Robert Lalonde, Festival Manager. "This year we have secured movie premieres to screen at locations across the Niagara Region, including the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre in St. Catharines, Seneca Queen Theatre in Niagara Falls and and Trius Winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake." "Our goal for 2016 is to be a dynamic and exciting event," he added.
The Festival will open on June 10 with the Canadian Premiere of Meera Menon's femaleled Wall Street drama Equity, which premiered In Competition at this year's Sundance Film Festival to great acclaim. It stars Anna Gunn, James Purefoy, and Sarah Megan Thomas. This year's Gala lineup will also feature the Canadian premieres of Jean-François Richet's French comedy One Wild Moment, starring Vincent Cassel, Paula Ortiz's double Goya-award-winning La Novia, adapted from Lorca's 'Blood Wedding', and the Niagara premiere of Werner Herzog's Lo and Behold, Reveries of the Connected World, fresh from its Canadian premiere at Hot Docs.
"We're thrilled to announce that we will present the Canadian premieres of two outstanding films from Hong Kong this year in a new Hong Kong Gala programme, sponsored by Hong Kong Economic & Trade Office (HKETO). The first of these will be the Sammo Hung-directed, Andy Lau-produced, The Bodyguard, a film that marks the director's return to filmmaking after an absence of nearly 20 years," added Lalonde.
The Festival will also present the Canadian premiere of action crime thriller Trivisa, which was screened for the first time last month as the opening film for the 40th Hong Kong International Film Festival.
Other categories that will be showcased throughout the two weekend Film Festival include 'Spotlight Italy'- proudly presented by the Italian Contemporary Film Festival (ICFF) and NIFF; Discovery Section; Documentary Section and a Canada Section, which will present the East Coast premiere of Red Bull-produced action documentary Chasing Niagara, directed by Rush Sturges, which took home a Best Film award at the Banff Mountain Film Festival. Other Canadian premieres include Christina Lind's Fireworkers, a screening of the Hamilton-filmed independent comedy The Bad Mother, directed by David James Fernandes and Sarah Kapoor.
"We're also delighted to be able to showcase the best of local talent in our Niagara Rises programme, which this year will present four feature films either made locally or by filmmakers from the Niagara Region, which include hometown premieres for April Mullen's Niagara-filmed horror Farhope Tower and for St. Catharines filmmaker Jay Cheel's How to Build a Time Machine," added Lalonde.
This section will also present the Ontario cinema premiere of Okpik's Dream, directed by another St Catharines-born filmmaker, Laura Rietveld, and the world premiere of Sam C. Avery's Minor, filmed in Niagara Falls. Local filmmakers will also be showcased in a Niagara Rises short film programme. An International short film programme will also be presented, made possible by the gracious support of the Festival International du Film de Bruxelles (FIFB) who cooperated with NIFF in the selection of shorts from the 38th Annual Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival.
For 2016, NIFF is excited to announce that once again it will be offering a truly groundbreaking series of discussions for Industry Day, which was made possible through the generosity of Ontario Media Development Corporation (OMDC). Under the banner of Striding Forward - Structuring the new Road Map, Industry Day with Walrus Talks will take place on Friday, June 17, 2016. Stay tuned for announcements about this exciting opportunity to get close and personal with our line-up of internationally-respected members of film, television and digital media industry.
On May 13, NIFF will host the Canadian premiere of the Tribeca Audience Award winner King Jack, at an exclusive, invite-only screening, to be followed by a Q&A with the film's director, Felix Thompson.
Founder Bill Marshall commented, "It's so wonderful to welcome back our founding sponsors RBC Royal Bank of Canada and Ralota for our third year of NIFF. It's great to see HKETO back again and welcome ICFF with our Spotlight on Italy series. Our programmers have scoured the globe to bring us some amazing films and I for one cannot wait to watch some of the movies we have chosen from around the world on our own home turf in Niagara."
NIFF 2016 would like to extend its heartfelt gratitude to all the sponsors and partners who have lent their support to make this year's festival possible (in alphabetical order): Bell Media, CHIN Radio, Cineplex Media, City of St. Catharines, Cogeco TV.

It was no mere feat announcing the recent NIFFF appearance of acclaimed director Miike Takashi. Having left a mark this Spring with the highly celebrated Blade Of The Immortal, his latest return to festival furor will have him at Fantasia for the North American presentation of his other live-action manga adaptation, JoJo's Bizzare Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable.
Previous iterations of the title had it hinting as the first of more than one chapter which would be fitting if Warner Bros. Japan saw fit to expand on the property. This latest treatment would adhere to the fourth phase of the JoJo saga with actor Yamazaki Kento leading the cast as a high school student uniquely gifted with the mysterious ability to call on a Stand - a spiritual anomaly of which there appear to be many lurking in town in one form or another through its secret users. Fantasia programmer Rupert Bottenberg has more:
Welcome to Morioh, a seaside town where many inhabitants are rather out of the ordinary. This includes Koichi, a peaceful student who's new in town; The pretty Yukako, who eagerly took the Koichi under her wing; And Josuke Higashikata, alias Jojo, the piece-de-resistance. Since his childhood, Jojo has had a power called Stand, a kind of energy that allows him to heal wounds, and to invoke an powerful entity when he's upset. Despite his raffish, teen-thug behaviour, he's a fundamentally good and polite person, one who would never abuse his power... unless some unfortunate utters an inappropriate comment about Jojo's impressive hairstyle. But he may well have to use his abilities for more important purposes when Angelo, a serial killer who also controls the Stand, starts racking up victims. When Jojo interferes in the Angelo's sordid plans, the latter decides to hunt our hero down, as well as his family and friends. Even worse, a mysterious archer prowls Morioh and aims to aggravate this already delicate situation.
Hirohiko Araki's manga cult series "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure," which has sold over 100 million copies, has been a hit for Shonen Jump magazine for nearly 20 years. Today, this jewel of Japanese popular culture is finally seeing a live-action adaptation – and it is to none other than Takashi Miike that the colossal task of recreating the eccentric universe of Araki has been entrusted. And the director of ACE ATTORNEY and AS THE GODS WILL has accomplished that task brilliantly! Thanks to, among other things, impressive special effects that perfectly recreate the various Stands, and an incredible cast combining promising young talents with several veterans, JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: DIAMOND IS UNBREAKABLE invites us to a jubilant visual feast full of action, humor, suspense and fantasy. Takashi Miike's 101st production shows no sign of creative shortness of breath and still refuses to take action. That's why we love him so much!
The film marks as one of two Fantasia screenings this year from Miike next to that of the 2016 film, The Mole Song: Hong Kong Capriccio.
JoJo's Bizzare Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable joins Yamazaki with Kamiki Ryunosuke, Komatsu Nana, Mackenyu, Okada Masaki and Iseya Yusuke. TBS (Tokyo Broadcasting System Television, Inc.) will be presenting the film at Fantasia on opening day as well as July 23 before the film's August 4 Japan release

E3 Day Two: Five Things We Learned
Well, if day one belonged to Bethesda, the platform on day two was a little more crowded... and that's putting it lightly. The second day of the world's biggest gaming conference was jam packed with exciting announcements from all the big-hitters, including Microsoft, EA, Sony and Ubisoft. There was a lot happening yesterday, but here's your five-point round-up of the biggest stories from day two...
EA showcases Star Wars Battlefront gameplay, announces release date for Need For Speed reboot
EA kicked things off in style by showing off some of the gameplay for the third of its Star Wars titles, due to hit the shelves on November 20th this year, then announcing the new Mass Effect and a brand new game called Unravel, a cute-looking puzzle platform starring a cat-person called Yarn.
The big news for racing fans though is that the release date for the rebooted Need for Speed game has also been announced, being given a ship date of November 3rd. They also showcased a brand new trailer for the new game, which you can find below...
Microsoft almost upstages itself with Xbox One news
Microsoft was probably thinking that the big news in its presentation yesterday would be its upcoming title Halo 5, which has a brand new trailer, or even the return of Lara Croft in Rise of the Tomb Raider, but all of that was almost sidelined by the announcement that Xbox One is officially introducing backwards compatibility, as well as getting a new UI.
In addition though, Microsoft also unveiled Forza 6 and the new Gears of War, as well as confirming that Minecraft will be among the games that will be compatible with its HoloLens headset.
Check out the amazing new gameplay trailer for Gears of War 4 below!
Rare to release 'classic collection', unveils new title Sea of Thieves
Industry veterans Rare also muscled in on the action yesterday, outlining its plans to release a 'classic collection' featuring some of its best-known and most well-loved titles, but it also unveiled a brand new title called Sea of Thieves, a pirate-themed, first person multiplayer that's exclusively on Xbox, which it says could be hitting the shelves in time for the 2016 winter holiday season. Check out the announce trailer below...
Ubisoft showcases Assassin's Creed Syndicate, announces brand new IP For Honour
As well as ofering a better look at one of their most hotly anticipated titles, Assassin's Creed Syndicate, Ubisoft also dropped its own new title yesterday in the form of For Honour, a battle epic which will see you testing your swordsmanship against Knights, Vikings and even Samurai warriors, treating those in attendance to a world premier of the new game's first trailer, which you can find below...
Sony shows off No Man's Sky and other exclusives, then sends its own Kickstarter into meltdown
Perhaps the most eventful presentation of the second day at this year's E3 was saved for last, courtesy of Sony, who followed up some new screenshots released yesterday for No Man's Sky with five minutes of gameplay from the upcoming title.
Sony also showed off some of its other exclusives titles, including showcasing a cinematic trailer for its new Hitman title and another for Street Fighter 5. But then Yu Suzuki walked out onto the stage, and everything hit fever pitch. He told the audience he was running a new Kickstarter to develop a third instalment of Shenmue, and within minutes he had generated a wave of support so large it crashed the crowd-funding platform and reduced several members of the audience to actual tears. It's fair to say that's title that's going to bery very hotly anticipated indeed.

Passaic Business Liability Insurance
Passaic business liability insurance is the type of coverage that you will find to be particularly useful in many situations. This is mostly due to the probability that your company might have of being sued at some point of another. This is what this kind of Passaic business liability insurance will take care of; potential lawsuits. If you or your company are sued at any point because of something that your company did or did not do, this is the kind of coverage that will come in and take care of any and all of those incidents. No matter what kinds of situation you might be in concerning your Passaic company or your company's needs, you should always consider getting this kind of New Jersey business liability insurance coverage for yourself.
General Guidelines
Though it is not all protection and good things for you. Getting sued is not something that is just going to go away if you have Passaic business liability insurance. There are going to be a lot of things that you are going to have to consider if you want to make sure that you are getting the right degree of business liability insurance coverage for yourself and there are going to be a lot of things that you are still going to have to pay for if the time comes where you get sued for something that you did or did not do. No matter what the Passaic situation might be, you need to remember that getting sued is something that should be avoided at all costs.
Passaic business liability insurance is more of a safety net than something to protect you on the first lines. If you use Passaic business liability insurance as more than a safety net, then you are going to be paying a lot for the Passaic liability insurance coverage and getting sued more frequently. It needs some time to regroup in between Passaic lawsuits. If you are getting sued frequently, the right kind of Passaic liability insurance is probably not exactly what you need. Instead, you should consider getting a better business plan or trying to rectify some of your outstanding lawsuits. If you are getting sued on a regular basis, there is really not much you are going to be able to do if you just have good Passaic liability insurance coverage in New Jersey. Chances are, you are getting sued for a reason and that reason is probably pretty good.
New Jersey Coverage Necessity
As a general rule of thumb in the realm of Passaic business liability insurance, if you are getting sued more than once per year, your company model needs to change. In all actuality, if you are getting sued even once per year, then something needs to change. Getting sued is the rawest form of distaste from your customers that you can get. It is the ultimate bad press. Even if the lawsuit is unrightfully, all future customers are going to see is that you got sued. It will not matter what the suit was for or if it went through. All that is going to matter to them is that you did something that was enough for a customer to take the time and money to file a suit against you. No customers are going to easily do business with someone who is so likely to do something that would result in something happening that would cause a New Jersey suit. Just remember that getting sued is something that can be fixed, but it is also something that will last for a long time.
If you ever went through school and got in trouble with a grade or something that you did wrong, you might have heard the phrase; "this is going to go on your permanent record." This is not exactly true because that record is not as important as they make it out to be. However, it is true in the realm of business. If your company gets sued, it will go on your NJ company's permanent record. Though Passaic business liability insurance will be able to help with the financial setting, it will not be able to help with the tarnished reputation that your NJ company will have.
This is why getting Passaic business liability insurance is something that you will need to make sure that you consider. If you are still not convinced that you should get this kind of coverage, then you should consider the importance of your company's reputation. This is the kind of NJ business liability insurance coverage that will help protect that reputation, but it will not save your company. The only thing that can save your company with or without Passaic business liability insurance is you making sure that your company is in the right.

Sarah J, Chicago IL
"Finding business liability insurance quotes in the past has always been a hassle, thanks to this website, it was much easier!"
Ryan A, Atlanta GA
"I needed a quality business liability policy to help cover my business, and getting connected with several providers was easy!"
Chris B, Portland OR
