Potter's Wheel:The bowl/cup/plate is thrown by hand on the wheel. The bases are trimmed making a nice rim on the foot for more stability. The Bisque Fire: Once they are bone dry they are fired in the kiln to 950℃, which dries and strengthens them sufficiently for glazing. Glazing and High Firing:I then glaze them in their own, individual style; some are fully glazed and some are only partly glazed before I fire them again to 1220℃ (cone 6). Every item is one-of-a-kind. An item takes approximately 4-5 weeks to make, from start to finish, including creation, drying, bisque firing,...

Tomato Tart
Oct 18 2016
30-35 mn
I used to always eat a version of this tart during our summer vacation in South of France when I was a kid. So when I had kids myself, I thought this would be a fun way to get them to eat tomatoes. Even though my boys swear that they hate tomatoes, they love this tart!
Let the dough get to room temperature. Wash the tomatoes and slice them. Preheat your oven at 425F.
Once the dough is easy to unfold, place it on a baking sheet, make sure it is nice and flat and arrange the tomato slices, leaving 1/2 inch border all around.
Sprinkle the thyme, 1 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of pepper and drizzle olive oil. Add the chopped basil.
Put in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the dough gets nice and golden.
Serve and eat warm or at room temperature and maybe add a nice green salad as a side.

Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort and Spa in Uganda is set to launch an 18-hole golf course in October this year.
The golf course, one of its kind in Uganda was designed by Golf Plan USA under the guidance of principal architect Kevin Ramsey, and boasts sweeping views of Lake Victoria.
Its unique features include a finishing hole with an island green that is rare in many courses around the world and is the first golf course in Uganda to have bent grass.
The Lake Victoria Serena Golf Club is a private club offering a challenging layout for the ever-evolving golfer looking for an enjoyable golfing experience.
The course also has a Golf Academy with 780 square metre of putting green, which acts as both a teaching and practise facility designed to replicate various shot areas such as short game area, a practice bunker and chipping green.
Currently, seven of the remaining nine holes are complete with the last two now being planted. The expected launch of the new 18-hole golf course is set to take place in October during the Serena Open.
Constructed to full USGA specifications, the beautiful designed golf course is suitable for all level of golfers with each hole presenting a different encounter.
"This is more than just a golf club; it is a premier golfing complex with improved facilities to encourage both the golfing and social aspect of the club," the Resort manager Frankline Nyakundi said.
"We hope to fulfill the aspirations of golfers and entice visitors to consider membership to either the golf club or the golf academy."
While construction is ongoing, there has been no interference with daily operations of the club with the existing nine holes being used by players.
The Lake Victoria Serena Golf Club has set the trend as the only Clubhouse in Uganda with a fully-fledged Pro-Shop selling world class golfing merchandise.
It also hosts a clubhouse, a restaurant, bar, one half-way house, a conference room, locker rooms as well as ladies and gents steam rooms.
Mr Nyakundi added: "The construction boom of golf courses and its related facilities in East Africa is a clear indication of an unexploited market for golf tourism.
"As we pursue our golf expansion plans, we encourage the public to take up golfing as a sport as well as the private sector's support through association initiatives and sponsorships."
The Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort and Spa nurtures the growth of golf by hosting bi-annual sports camps for children in April and August.
The opportunity enables young players acquire great skills in the game at an early age, mentored and trained by a US Kids Club certified coach.
With the opening of the Kampala-Entebbe Expressway, the Resort is now more accessible to golfers, business and leisure visitors.
Travellers, who are not golf enthusiasts can indulge in the other facilities at the resort with a raft of activities to choose from.
Golfers can enjoy nature walks to absorb the beautiful panoramic views of the golf course and surrounding lake view, dine at the Marina and Lago (Fine Dinning) Restaurants, set out for a romantic picnic cruise on the Lake Victoria, visit the neighbouring Chimpanzee Island, or relaxing moments at the Maisha Spa where a range of different massage and beauty treatment can be enjoyed.
The 45,070 square metre Marina can accommodate up to 24 boats, each with a service station for electricity and water.
Anthony Chege, Country manager, Serena Hotels Uganda, commented:"The Lake Victoria Serena Golf Course is one of the most beautiful courses in the region.
"We could not be more proud to have it on our property and simply cannot wait to be positioned as the best golf and spa resorts in Africa."

Kaiser, Emory Healthcare to partner: 4 things to know
Oakland, Calif.-based Kaiser Permanente and Atlanta-based Emory Healthcare, the $3.3 billion clinical arm of Emory University, revealed plans to collaborate on a new care model to advance care for Kaiser members in the Atlanta metro area, Kaiser announced June 13.
Here are four things to know about the collaboration:
1. The goal of the collaboration is to improve community health, address healthcare disparities and create an integrated care and coverage model for the roughly 375,000 Kaiser members across 28 counties in metro Atlanta and four counties near Athens, Ga.
2. Under the agreement, Southeast Permanente Medical Group physicians will begin treating Kaiser patients at Emory University Hospital Midtown and Emory Saint Joseph's Hospital, both in Atlanta, in October 2018.
3. In anticipation of the agreement, Kaiser provided Emory Healthcare with a capital contribution of an undisclosed amount to be used for the expansion of both hospitals to accommodate new and existing patients.
4. Both organizations will maintain their existing service affiliations, and Emory Healthcare will retain its existing relationships with all of its affiliated health plans.
"Our joint focus [with the collaboration] will be to create a premier, integrated care and coverage model committed to improving health and affordability for our members, and better addressing health disparities, while working collaboratively to increase the number of people and communities who benefit from what our organizations can accomplish together," Jim Simpson, regional president of Kaiser Permanente Georgia, said in the June 13 statement.

Guide Fix Nvidia Driver Issues, Nvidia Crashing
Guide Fix Nvidia Driver Issues, Nvidia Crashing. Welcome back, and today we gonna be show you a quick little way to fix Nvidia graphics driver issues. It may be simple but very effective as far as my experience is concerned it can be a fix for the majority of graphics driver issues. So let's start.
First, you gonna wanna go to this website and download this tool, it's totally free and there is nothing much to worry about. , it's called Display driver uninstaller or DDU, it can remove your graphics drivers completely without leaving a single file behind, and that's what we looking for, and once we performed that complete uninstalling process I will show you how to get the right driver for your card from the official source.
The process may sound small but believe me, it can fix your problem! And that's the point Once you are on the website scroll down and click one of these links, and the download will be started automatically. It's just a 1.06 MB file and once it downloaded go to the download location.
As you can see it's a zip file so we need to extract it. To extract just right click on the zip file, now choose extract here. Now you need to go to the DDU file> Right click > then choose extract here again.
This time you will see a new folder called DDU, and you will find the Display driver unistaller.exe inside, it's a portable tool so you don't have to install in order to use it, So we are ready to start the process. But Before that, you need to boot your Windows 10 into the safe mode for the best possible result.
If you are using an older version of windows you can just Google "how to boot to safe mode in that particular windows version". Hope you are all using windows 10 at this point so let's proceed to windows 10 safe mode.
Go to start, and click on the settings gear icon, it will open the windows settings, now navigate to Update & security > Recovery, Now click on restart now under the Advanced Startup. Now you will see these options, so navigate to Troubleshoot > Advanced options, now click on see more recovery options, and choose startup settings option and click on restart.
Now wait until it restarts and once it does you will see these options, so hit number 4 on your keyboard which will enable the Safe mode. And it will bring you to the windows 10 safe mode within no time, put on your password and login to the computer. and once you does that, you can go to the download location of the DDU or Display Driver Uninstaller. And run the Display Driver Uninstaller.exe, now it will open this window.
As you can see it's already detected my graphics card and auto selected the Nvidia option here, any way I suggest you make sure that you are selected the Nvidia option from here to ensure a proper removal, once you does that it just a matter of clicking this clean and restart button, it is the only and best option to remove the graphics driver completely from your computer without any left over, so go ahead and click on it.
Now it will restart the computer automatically from the safe mode to your regular windows. So Log in back to your computer, and of course you will not see you display that please as before, because it removed the graphics driver completely.
Now we need to get the latest Nvidia Graphics drivers for your particular graphics card, and once it's installed hope it will fix the issue. So let me walk you through. There are two ways to get drivers for Nvidia.
If you know your graphics card model or details, then you can go to this page and choose Type, Series, Product of your graphics card, Now choose an Operating System, and finally the language, Now it will find the latest drivers for your particular Graphics Card, So click on download.
If you don't know then there is an even easier way, Just go to this webpage and it will scan your system hardware and it can find which Nvidia card you are using automatically. Once it finished it will show you the download button which will allow you to download the latest driver for your Nvidia Graphics card.
I have links for both of these web pages in the post description so feel free to use it. Once you downloaded the driver install it by following the on-screen instruction, and once it' finished restart your pc.
Now hope your problem is fixed. If it helped you let me know in the comments below, I would be glad to hear you.

By now, most of us have received a wedding invite or two online; but if you've ever thrown a party and realized that you forgot to invite a couple people who aren't on email or Facebook (I have, ooops!), you've probably also wondered whether that might be a problem for those throwing a wedding. Turns out that it is.
So while many couples decide that it's faster, easier, less time-consuming and certainly eco-friendlier to invite the majority of people on their list to their wedding via an online invite, there are people who can get left out of this system.
Mariko Fritz-Krockow told TODAY.com that when she sent invites to her wedding in 2011 via Eventbrite, "There were a couple of people who were incredibly confused," she said. "They didn't understand that the email was an invitation. They had no idea what we were trying to do. We had to call them and ask them if they were coming and they said, 'yes,' but then asked where their invitation was. Even my mother, who is tech-savvy, didn't know she had to had to RSVP electronically."
Clearly, this can be a conundrum for couples; on one hand, the envelope-stuffing time, the expense and the waste of printing and mailing multilayered envelopes is wasteful (who but the couple really keeps a hard copy of a wedding invitation, after all? As a guest at a dozen weddings so far in my life, I know I've recycled them all). But you don't want to insult older relatives who won't feel officially invited until they've received some creamy, frothy, calligraphied thing in the mail.
But fear not — there is a way to have it both ways. Some of the 'paper-free' invite companies are now offering a way to do both types of invites, with print-on-demand options (so you can, say, send 75 pretty, designed invitations via email, and 15 on paper). So you can have it both ways.
Even the cofounder of Paperless Post, James Hirschfeld, understands the tough spot modern brides and grooms are put in — and the need for an appropriate response to it: "The reality is that we live in a hybrid world of print and digital. No one lives their life totally online or totally offline, so it's important for us to serve digital and paper needs," he said.
So if you are sending out invites, keep in mind that you now have options to fit everyone on your list so you can have keepsakes and keep paper-lovers happy, and cut down on waste and costs too.

Troy Reicherter, Holistic Health Research
This experiment was designed to determine if holistic detoxification methods could reduce blood lipid levels of PCBs and 4, 4' – DDE (the primary breakdown particle of DDT). After a May 2015 blood test to establish baseline levels, the subject engaged in a 21-day fast in the summer of 2015, along with a number of holistic interventions. Activated charcoal capsules were taken daily from August 2016 through December 2018. This intervention of activated charcoal accompanied a 30-day fast in the summer of 2017, and a 40-day fast in the summer of 2018. Blood was drawn twice annually from May 2015 until December of 2018. The lowest readings to date showed a cumulative reduction in blood lipid PCBs of 58.87% and a total reduction in blood lipid 4, 4' – DDE of 60.78% (measured in June 2018).
This fasting-based detox regimen was an effective means of reducing levels of PCBs and 4, 4' – DDE in blood lipids. It is unclear precisely which interventions contributed to these results.
Of the more than 80,000 synthetic chemicals currently in production, thousands exist in human blood at detectable levels. Many of these chemicals are known carcinogens that bio-accumulate in fatty tissues. As humans are at the top of the food chain, these toxicants can become highly concentrated in our bodies. The presence of these chemicals is a primary risk factor for cancer, although most people are not particularly cognizant of this hazard because it is invisible, and tests to determine toxicity levels are extremely expensive. Even if a person were made aware of their toxic load, medical science has claimed up to now that there is no proven method to remove these toxicants from your body.
These synthetic chemicals can pose an even greater risk to babies and children than to adults, as their bodies are still growing, and therefore more vulnerable to harm. The chemicals are transmitted to babies through their mother's blood, as well as through mother's milk. Because these carcinogenic chemicals are lipophilic, they are drawn out from the mother's body with the lipid content of the breast milk, and are stored long-term within an infant's body.
Two of the most harmful chemicals that bio-accumulate in our bodies are PCBs and DDE. PCBs were produced from the 1920s to the 1970s as a coolant inside transformers, as well as for a variety of other purposes. DDT was used as an insecticide for most of the 20th century. DDT breaks down to a particle called 4, 4' – DDE. Both chemicals are virtually indestructible, and both are highly carcinogenic.
Since prehistoric times, fasting has been a common practice in almost all cultures for both physical and spiritual purification. Fasting has been mostly neglected by mainstream medicine since the start of the twentieth century, but continues to be recommended by some alternative health practitioners.
Prior to this experiment, medical doctors consistently claimed they had no evidence that fasting was effective for detoxification. The goal of this experiment is to prove that a fasting-based detox regimen can significantly reduce blood lipid levels of certain toxicants.
The subject of this study was the researcher himself, Troy Reicherter, who turned 47 years old in May 2015, the month the experiment began. His diet had been mainly lacto-ovo vegetarian since 1999. The main intervention was fasting. The subject had engaged in previous water-only fasts, the longest having been a 20-day fast in 2007, but had not engaged in any fasting at all between 2007 and June 2015.
The 2015-2018 basic fasting protocols included ingesting plenty of pH 8.5 water from a LeveLuk SD 501 Kangen Water reverse osmosis filtration machine, and no caloric intake for three periods of 21, 30, and 40 days in June-July of 2015, 2017, and 2018, respectively. This machine was also the primary source for drinking water used between fasts, and has been the primary source of drinking water for the subject since 2007.
Colonic irrigation is a necessity for long fasts. A Colema Board was used with a 10-gallon plastic container filled with warm tap water. Each of these colonic sessions was done at home and lasted about an hour, until the water in the 25-quart container ran out.
Electrolytes were used during each fast, including potassium, magnesium, and sodium. A multivitamin pill was taken daily during the entire 42 months of the experiment.
During phases one and two in 2015-2016, some supplements were used, as well as other holistic protocols, including sauna, dry brush massage, headstands, acupressure, abdominal self-massage, circumambulation, meditation, and moxibustion. The oral administration of activated charcoal to interrupt the enterohepatic pathway was not conceived until the summer of 2016, after which time it was used almost without interruption until the experiment's conclusion in December 2018.
For each of the eight blood tests in this experiment, ten vials of blood were drawn at Valley Medical Hospital, centrifuged, and the refrigerated serum sent to a lab in British Columbia for testing (lab name withheld by requet). The results are revealed chronologically here, but were in fact received in groups: tests one and two in spring of 2016, tests three and four in spring of 2017, and tests five through eight in early 2019.
Blood was drawn on May 11, 2015 for a baseline measurement. Body weight on that day was 186 pounds. Blood lipid levels of 4, 4' – DDE were 56.1 nanograms per gram (56,100 parts per trillion, or ppt). Blood lipid levels of PCBs were 71,000 picograms per gram, or ppt.
Due to the extremely high cost of the experiments and limited resources, the initial intent in 2015 was to use all means possible to achieve maximum decrease in blood toxicity levels within six months. The rationale was that a significant result from this experiment would gain publicity and attract funding for further research to discover which of the many interventions were actually the most effective.
The subject's weight was 186 pounds on the evening of June 19, 2015. Fasting commenced on June 20th and lasted for 21 days. In addition to water and the sports drinks consumed in the sauna, over five of the final ten days, zero-calorie Powerade drinks were consumed outside the sauna.
Colonics were done on day 2, 5, and 9 of the fast, until it seemed the bowels were clear.
The subject weighed 155 pounds on the morning of July 11 prior to breaking the fast.
Additional interventions:
Where the number of each interventions is given, this also means the intervention was done over the same number of days, as none were repeated on the same day.
*Sauna – Saunas were usually in the 170-180 degree range Fahrenheit, and varied in length, usually from 20-30 minutes. In the sauna, it was standard practice to drink both a 20 oz. zero calorie Vitamin Water Revive fruit punch (with 880 mg of potassium), and a a 32-oz. zero-calorie Powerade because these drinks have supplements including vitamin B, vitamin C, sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. In a testing irregularity, one week the subject accidentally purchased three 100-calorie sports drinks that looked almost identical to the zero-calorie type, and drank these in the sauna during the fast by mistake. There was a total of 109 sessions in the sauna for a cumulative total of 40 hours.
*Dry brush massage – This is reputed to stimulate the skin, allow for better respiration, lymph circulation, and removal of toxic waste from the cells. This was done for approximately two minutes daily before or after a shower. Subject used a dry loofa sponge till 8/31/2015, then switched to a nylon brush, then on 11/14/2015 switched to a Tampico Skin Brush made by the Yerba Prima Company. In total this was done 147 times.
*Headstands – The purpose was to drain the lymphatic system and balance the endocrine system. This was done with a cushioned headstand device purchased from EvolutionHealth.com. These headstands were done for daily sessions lasting three minutes from May 18 until Oct 21, after which these were done for five minutes per day, and on Nov. 15th, the time was increased to seven minutes per session. Headstands were done 106 times, for a total of 452 minutes.
*Acupressure – This was done in attempt to stimulate detoxification. Subject pressed Large Intestine 4, Liver 3, as well as the liver point on the ear (where the bottom of the concha intersects with the antihelix). These points were pressed for 30 seconds per day. In one irregularity, ear acupuncture was used in place of ear acupressure for 15 min on day 5. Starting August 7, the Liver area on the bottom of the right foot was also pressed for 30 seconds once per day. In total, acupressure was done 145 times. Ear acupressure was done 123 times (this includes the one time this was done with acupuncture instead).
* Self-Massage – This was abdominal massage, done according to the belief that by pressing on all parts of the abdomen, all internal organs are stimulated, improving their functions, including their ability to detoxify. The daily routine was in three parts. First, counterclockwise circular massage was done 35 times with both hands over the entire abdomen. Second, the abdomen was divided into nine squares and 35 counterclockwise circles of deep massage were done on each square. Third, clockwise circular massage was done 35 times. During the fast itself, self-massage was done on the muscles of the subject's legs and glutes to move fluids from the cells and lymphatic system. This was done a total of 145 times.
*Circumambulation – in accord with the traditional Chinese medicine assertion that moving in a counterclockwise manner purifies by reducing excess conditions. This was done indoors walking quickly in a small counterclockwise circle. The subject did this at first for approximately five minutes per session, then on August fifth, began making each session 10 minutes long. On September 28, the subject started making each session 15 minutes long. Circumambulation was done a total of 74 times, for an estimated total of 850 minutes.
*Meditation – This was done for a minimum of five minutes each time, normally sitting in a cross-legged position with back straight. The subject focused on the circular flow of energy, on light filling the body, and on the cells excreting the chemicals they have been holding. This was done 136 times in total.
*Moxibustion – Moxibustion is believed in traditional Chinese medicine to improve the function of internal organs, and could potentially increase the rate of detoxification. This consisted of holding a burning stick of moxa (artemis vulgaris) over four acupoints for 30-60 seconds daily, and moving in little clockwise motions to tonify. Points used were Kidney 1, Stomach 36, Ren 6, and Large Intestine 10. Moxibustion was done 112 times in total.

On January 6, 2016, the second blood drawing was done. The subject's weight on that day was 186 pounds.
The January 2016 blood drawing showed 4, 4' – DDE blood lipid levels of 49.1 nanograms per gram (49,100 ppt), a 12.48% decrease. The blood lipid PCBs were 71,900, a 1.27% increase. The PCB blood lipid levels were elevated, suggesting that PCBs follow a different rate of excretion from fat cells, elimination from the body, and reabsorption back into fat cells than does 4, 4' – DDE.
The decision was made to pay for another round of two expensive tests to discover if the toxicant levels would continue to drop without further intervention. In the first part of 2016, no special interventions were made, except for taking a sauna per week, on average, from February 2016 through February 2017.
The third blood drawing was done on July 20, 2016. The subject's weight on this day was 187 pounds. The third blood test revealed a blood lipid 4, 4' – DDE amount of 48.6 nanograms per gram, a further 0.89% decrease from baseline (for a cumulative drop of 13.37%), and a blood lipid PCB measurement of 64,400 ppt, a cumulative decrease of 8.03% from baseline.
After considering the reason for such a small drop in toxicants in the first six months of the experiment, the weak link in the body's detox chain was suspected to be the enterohepatic pathway. This is the circular pathway by which toxicant chemicals are collected in the liver, excreted into the duodenum along with the bile, and then reabsorbed back into the bloodstream through the small intestine. A mechanism was sought to interrupt the enterohepatic pathway, and food-grade activated charcoal was finally selected for this purpose. This product is composed of tiny particles which are indigestible, and pass harmlessly through the digestive system. Activated charcoal has a tremendous surface area, with many corrugations to capture chemicals and remove them from the alimentary canal. The subject began taking nine "000" size capsules (each holds approximately 1,000 mg) of activated charcoal daily on August 5, 2016. Three were taken with each meal. The type used was "American Hardwood Activated Charcoal Powder" (Essential Elements brand). The gelatin capsules were PurecapsUSA brand, and the capsules were filled by hand at home.
The subject also briefly tried another substance as an enterohepatic pathway interrupter: bentonite clay (Wyoclay brand). Subject took two teaspoons of bentonite clay for three days in August, before deciding to rely solely on activated charcoal for the rest of this experiment.
The fourth blood drawing was done on January 30, 2017. The subject's weight on this day was 185 pounds. This showed a blood lipid 4, 4' – DDE measurement of 44.5 nanograms per gram (44,500 ppt), an additional 7.31% decrease (for a cumulative drop of 20.68% from baseline), and a 6.62% additional drop in blood lipid PCBs from baseline (for a cumulative reduction of 15.92% from baseline).
The third blood tests showed that while levels of 4, 4' – DDE had essentially levelled off, levels of PCBs were continuing to fall during this period. The fourth blood drawing (for the period when the intervention of activated charcoal had begun) showed a clear drop in both chemicals. It is unknown what continued drop, if any, would have taken place in PCB levels without the use of activated charcoal. In any case, this substantial drop in 4, 4' – DDE levels suggested that the use of activated charcoal had been effective.
A decision was made to pay for four more blood tests to attempt to confirm the hypothesis that two of the interventions had been effective: fasting (the modified fasting regimen including necessary additions, including colonics, plus electrolytes, plus a daily vitamin pill) and the activated charcoal. During this period, the additional supplements and additional interventions were not used.
Due to the difficulty of safely filling the gelatin capsules with activated charcoal, already-filled 450 mg capsules by Nutriessence brand were purchased. The protocol from March 1, 2017 till June 17, 2017 was to take 30 of these every day, usually in doses of six capsules five times a day.
The fifth blood drawing was done on June 3, 2017. The subject's weight was 186 pounds on this day. The results for the June 2017 blood drawing (following a period of activated charcoal and no fasting) showed a 4, 4' – DDE measurement of 22.6 nanograms per gram (22,600 ppt), an additional drop of 39.03% (for a cumulative drop of 59.71% from baseline) and 30,500 ppt, an additional drop of 41.12% in PCBs, from baseline (for a cumulative drop of 57.04%). The cause for the large drop in DDE is suspected to be due to an end to the different gene expression brought about by the 2015 fast, leading to a change in cellular activity. The results of blood drawings done from June 2017 – December 2018 were not known until April of 2019.
Weekly saunas were done till the start of the 2017 fast, but were completely discontinued from that time until after the blood drawing in December 2018. Other protocols like abdominal massage, dry brush massage, headstands, and moxa, which were done only occasionally between February 2016 and June 15, 2017, were completely discontinued from June 16, 2017 till Dec. 1, 2018.
Protocols for 2017 Fast
The subject weighed 183.5 pounds on June 16, 2017, the first day of a 30-day fast.
This time, while doing the fast, the subject took the following supplements daily for health and to maintain safe electrolyte levels:
Multivitamin pill
Potassium – three 99 mg pills
Calcium – 1,000 mg pill
Magnesium – 300 mg
Selenium – 400 mcg (three pills of 100 mcg each, plus 100 mcg in multivitamin)
Three pinches of sea salt mixed in with water.
The subject continued taking 30 of the 450 mg Nutriessence activated charcoal capsules through 6/17/2017: day two of the fast. On day three of the fast (6/18/2017), the subject took only 18 of the Nutriessence capsules, along with five of the "000" capsules containing the Essential Elements activated charcoal. Beginning on day four (6/19/2017) of the fast, subject took 15 of the 450 mg Nutriessence capsules daily (five per meal), plus ten of the "000" Essential Elements capsules (three per meal, plus one before going to sleep). This protocol continued unchanged from 6/19/2017 through the final blood drawing on 12/1/2018.
Colonics were done on fast days number 4, 8, 11, 15, 19, 23, and 27.
The subject's weight prior to breaking the fast on the morning of July 16 was 149.5 pounds.
The sixth blood drawing was done on December 2, 2017. The subject's weight was 186 pounds on this day. The results for the December 2017 blood drawing (following a period of charcoal plus 30 days of fasting) showed 34.2 nanograms per gram (34,200 ppt) in blood lipid 4, 4' – DDE, an increase of 20.68% over the previous measurement (still a cumulative 39.03% below the original baseline) and a measurement of 51,900 ppt in PCBs, an increase of 30.14% from the previous measurement (still a 28.9% drop from baseline).
The seventh blood drawing was done on June 2, 2018. The subject's weight was 185.5 pounds on this day. The results for the June 2018 blood drawing (following a period of activated charcoal-only intervention) were 22.5 nanograms per gram (22,500 ppt) of blood lipid 4, 4' – DDE, a decrease of 21.75% from previous (a cumulative drop of 60.78% from baseline) and a PCB measurement of 29,200 ppt, a drop of 31.97% from previous (a cumulative 58.87% drop from baseline).
Protocols for 2018 Fast
The subject weighed 187.5 pounds on June 7, 2018, the day before beginning a 40-day fast.
As in the previous year, the subject took the following supplements daily:
Multivitamin pill
Potassium – three 99 mg pills
Calcium – 1,000 mg pill
Magnesium – 300 mg
Selenium – 400 mcg (three pills of 100 mcg each, plus 100 mcg in multivitamin)
Three pinches of sea salt mixed in with water.
Colonics were done every four days till day 28, then every two days till the end. Colonics were done on fast days number 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, and 40.
The subject's weight on the morning of July 17, 2018 prior to breaking the fast, was 143.5 pounds.
The eighth blood drawing was done on December 1, 2018. The subject's weight on this day was 186 pounds. The results for the December 2018 blood drawing (following a period of charcoal plus 40 days of fasting) showed a 4, 4' – DDE blood lipid measurement of 25.6 nanograms per gram (25,600 ppt), an increase of 6.42% over the previous measurement (for a cumulative decrease of 54.36% from baseline), and PCBs showed a measurement of 35,200 ppt, an increase of an additional drop of 8.45% from previous (still a 50.42% drop from baseline).
There was no spike in 4, 4' – DDE levels after the 21-day fast, but levels did rise after the longer fasts. One possibility is that some threshold had been crossed by the fasts of longer duration, causing the body to react differently. Another possibility is that a spike was caused by the expelling of toxicants during the fast, but that the additional interventions of saunas and supplements in 2015 removed many of these from the body so that no large post-fast spike was measured. The spike after the 30-day fast was a rise of 20.68%, but the spike after the 40-day fast was only a rise of 6.42%, suggesting that progress is being made in detoxifying the fatty tissues that store most of the DDE and PCBs. The data further suggests that between 18 and 24 months after the completion of a prolonged fast, a large measurable drop in blood lipid toxicant levels takes place. Since a 21-day modified fast accompanied by less than one year of activated charcoal resulted in a drop of 59.71% for blood lipid levels of 4, 4' – DDE, it is reasonable to assume that the subsequent two fasts, with their cumulative total of 70 days, plus nearly four years of activated charcoal, will ultimately have a far greater effect on lowering blood lipid toxicant levels than current measurements have shown. It is thus far unclear what effect the activated charcoal has made, if any. Future testing will have to be done to isolate this variable and assess its impact on detox.
All data presented – company-provided raw data on excel sheets
In conclusion, this fasting-based detox regimen modified was effective for reducing blood lipid levels of cancer-causing PCBs as well as 4, 4' – DDE. The effectiveness of each individual component of the detox regimen can only be determined by future studies.
Medical authorities have always said there was no known way to remove these carcinogenic chemicals from our bodies, and no evidence that fasting was effective for detox. This project has demonstrated what is possible in the realm of detox. It remains for large clinical trials to replicate these findings under controlled experiments.
Now that a detox regimen has been proven to reduce some of the main carcinogenic chemicals that bio-accumulate in human blood, this regimen, could theoretically be adapted to help adults everywhere drastically reduce their risk of cancer. In the case of mothers-to-be, such a detox regimen could potentially prevent countless cases of chemically-induced childhood cancer, disease, or birth defect.
Since this detox regimen was so successful at reducing 4, 4' – DDE and PCBs from the blood, it may also be successful at removing many other harmful chemicals as well. More testing needs to be done to determine if this is the case. Considering the other known benefits of fasting, it may be that after more experimentation, this age-old custom will become a standard practice for adult health maintenance and disease prevention in the medicine of the future.

These doses were usually broken into three portions, taken with meals. When this was impractical, the largest portion was taken in the morning. Doses were changed for a number of reasons, including an attempt to finish the supplements before the second blood drawing.
1. Multivitamin – Subject began with Mykind Organics brand on 6/19: Men's Multi 40+ Whole Food Multivitamin until 9/17/2015. From 9/18/2015 onward, New Chapter every man II Multivitamin was used. Subject took one pill daily but missed 22 days: 6/23, 6/24, 6/25, 8/16, 8/17, 8/18, 8/19, 8/20, 11/4, 11/5, 11/6, 11/7, 12/11, 12/12, 12/13, 12/31, 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/5, and 1/6.

"Seriously, what is wrong with those two?" Simon said, shaking his head as his brother and Cassandra delighted in the now wide awake and wiggling, cooing baby.
"Tell me 'bout it. You'd think it was their own baby!" Sophie said, grumpily. "Maybe if I strap on a diaper and drool a bit I'll get some attention around here."
Simon turned his gaze on her. "Jealous are we?"
"Of what?"
"You tell me," he replied, turning the chess board around and playing the white pieces, which were supposed to be Cassandra's.
"Are you cheating so Cassie loses?" she said.
"Isn't it obvious she's done playing with me?"
"Well...mind if I play for her?"
"You know how?" he asked.
"Don't sound so surprised," she said, turning the board around again so she could study the pieces. After a moment she moved a pawn. "Check."
"What!" he said, frantically surveying his King and where he could be in trouble.
She burst out laughing. "Kidding! Just want to keep you on your toes."
"Almost gave me a heart attack," he muttered. After a moment he moved one of his Knights and captured a white pawn. "So..."
"Si..." she replied, sliding the Queen and taking down his rook.
He gave her a weird look.
"I thought we were saying the first syllables of our names," she said, smiling impishly.
"You think you're cute, don't you?"
"Don't you?"
"I think you're annoying," he replied, taking another white piece.
"I meant, don't you think you're cute, cuz, well, you are...in an annoying sorta way," she said, taking his knight.
He frowned. She was not as dumb as he thought she was. "Here I thought you were just being conceited," he said, taking his time before making his next move.
"I get that a lot. Even Ronnie said it and he doesn't think I'm annoying," she said.
"Sure about that?" he said, cornering her queen while taking a pawn.
"That he thinks I'm conceited or doesn't think I'm annoying?" she said, moving her Queen out of danger. "I think that's check...like for real this time."
"What?" he said, frowning at his king who now was in serious danger. "Shit!"
She giggled and watched him glower at his pieces as if it was their doing. "You take things too seriously, Simon."
"And you don't take them seriously enough," he countered, rescuing his king and taking her queen in the process.
"How so?" she asked, moving her remaining bishop to some random spot on the board.
He sighed. He had only just noticed that his queen had been in danger and he wondered how she could have missed it. He was glad just the same and took her bishop. "Your choice of majors for one," he said.
"Which I've already explained I knew was a mistake. After my dad died I didn't care about anything...least of all my major or even college itself," she said. "If someone had suggested backpacking through Europe I might have done that..just to...forget."
"Don't think Violet would have liked that," he said.
"No...well, she might not have cared either. She was just as lost as I was after... Huh... I think that's check."
"My king's not in danger," he snapped.
"No, I mean mine, but it's my turn now," she said and she moved her king. "Un-check."
Dang it, how had he missed that? He was not paying close enough attention. He remained silent as he studied the board.
"What was I saying? Oh, yeah, Mom after..." she said sighing deeply. "She was pretty bad that summer...lost about twenty pounds and she's so little she can't afford to lose that much. Making herself sick, but I wasn't much better I guess. I had to leave home and do something, anything just to stop thinking about...."
Simon smiled and made his move. "Check."
"Hmm...yup," she said, looking carefully at the board, but she made no move to correct this situation.
"It's not checkmate, just check," he said.
She shrugged. "What's the use? You'll only chase my king around for the next ten minutes until you get him. I don't care if I win or lose and it seems to be the only thing you care about so...you win. Congratulations."
He frowned at her. "I never took you to have a defeatist attitude," he said, resetting the chess pieces in their proper starting positions.
"When it's something I truly care about, nothing can stop me," she replied taking the rook in her hand, examining it. "What are these made of? It's not plastic like the ones me and Kenny played with back in the day."
"The white pieces are ivory, the black, marble I believe, perhaps ebony. This is an antique set my maternal grandfather left to my dad when he died," he said.
"Elephants had to die to make these?" she said, horrified.
He smiled. "They didn't have to die, but as this was nearly two hundred years ago when these pieces were made...pretty sure the poor elephants from whose tusks these were fashioned are long gone anyway."
She grimaced and set the rook down. "I suppose it's like crying over a mahogany desk."
He looked at her, confused. "Is it?" he asked.
"You know...if you're a tree-hugger...no use crying over furniture made from a dead mahogany tree. At least it's still living on...kinda."
He burst out laughing. "I guess so."
She stared at him for a moment. "You don't like me very much, do you?" she said.
His smiled faded. "Why do you say that?"
She shrugged. "Maybe you just don't like anybody," she remarked thoughtfully.
"Or perhaps that's just the perception," he replied.
"Then...do you or not?"
He took a long moment to answer. "You tell me."
"You never answer a question directly."
"Not if I can help it. Learn so much more that way."
"You like playing mind games, don't you?"
"People who like playing mind games do it to feel superior."
"Or because they are superior."
"And you have the audacity to call me conceited?" she said with a laugh.
"Then maybe we're not so different after all," he said.
"I never said we were different...just that you don't like me," she said.
"Does it matter one way or the other?"
"If we are to be..." she closed her eyes for a brief moment and drew in a breath.
"Family?" he finished for her.
She opened her eyes to meet his icy blue gaze. "I'm still not convinced it'll happen, you know."
"Neither am I, but at least I want it to happen, very much so," he said.
"I just don't think it's a good match. They're so different and anyway...I just don't think my mother will ever really remarry."
"Not unless your father's ghost leaves your mother for good."
Just as she was starting to like him—ever so slightly-- he had to go and say the wrong thing. "What is it with you and Ronnie? You seriously are telling me you believe in ghosts?"
He leaned forward and nodded. "I certainly do."
She gaped at him, stunned and angry. "I thought you were so damn intelligent," she snapped. "You keep telling us you are."
"I don't suppose you'll believe me if I told you I actually saw a ghost, talked to one?"
"You talked to my father's ghost?" she said, skeptically.
He shook his head. "I never said it was your father's ghost. I think only Violet sees or hears him. I saw my grandfather. I didn't know he was a ghost...I was very young. I didn't even know who he was until I saw him in an old photo album. You see, he had died years before I was even born, but he came to me while I was playing in Central park. I just thought he was somebody's grandfather and that he took a liking to me. I'll never forget. He told me all sorts of things about my father, things that I never heard from anyone else, that I couldn't have known, unless I was getting this info from...beyond, but no one believed me."
"Well...don't expect me to!" she said. "You're just....trying to make a fool of me. Ghosts are not real and if you see them and talk to them, then you're a nut job!"
"Think so, huh?" he said, leaning back, stretching his long legs out. "Then I won't bother telling you about the people I see and work with in the mental institution. Some of them shouldn't be there at all, but no one believes them when they say they see..."
"Dead people? Yeah, I saw the movie. It's called psychosis in real life, Simon, you ought to know that. It's all in their heads, their mentally troubled heads!"
He sighed, shaking his head sadly. "Ye of little faith. If you saw these people, you might think differently, Sophie, but no matter. Believe it or not. Point is, your mother told me she feels your father's soul or spirit still around her, and until she can let him go...well, if she ever can, or he releases her, nothing changes, but that's what you want, isn't it? Violet alone in this world, in perpetual mourning for your dad. What a great life that is...Not."
Sophie glared at him, convinced he was trying to make her look stupid. "Can't believe you and Ronnie are from the same two parents. Can't believe you're from the same planet!"
He smirked as he watched her stomp away and drop onto the sofa. "What a pleasant little sister she's going to be...not!"

We are proposing funding regulations to compensate providers for universal services.
A 'universal service obligation' (USO) guaranteeing a decent level of home phone services has been in place since 2003. In March 2018 the Government introduced legislation for a broadband USO, to give homes and businesses the right to request a decent and affordable broadband connection. We welcome this, as an important building block to improving access to broadband services across the UK.
It now falls to Ofcom to implement the broadband USO. Earlier this year, we appointed BT and KCOM to deliver broadband USO connections and services, and we set the conditions that will apply to them. From 20 March next year, people can start making requests for these services.
As the 'Universal Service Providers', BT and KCOM are entitled to be compensated for any costs that it would not be appropriate for them to cover. In this document, we propose the rules and procedures these providers should follow to make a claim for any unfair costs involved in providing a universal service. These procedures would apply to the broadband USO, but also to any other universal service obligations.
Please submit responses using the consultation response form (ODT, 51.7 KB).

Hello all - I'm attempting to set the default values of our country/state selector inputs to something more default, like, "select state." I'm extremely new to this cms experience and a thorough google search has not pointed me in the right direction.
By default both are preselected to United States and Alabama, respectively. Since technically they are "filled" in the form submit properly. I'm trying to implement a way were the second field "state" has a default value or "select state".
Thanks in advance.
My first option is done purely through the Kentico web interface.
Here's a picture.
If you click on "Advanced" on the form control settings, you should be able to check "Add (select country) record on the first position" which will give the Country a "(Select Country)" option first. The state is still going to start with alabama but at least prevents users from just hitting submit and it going through.
Otherwise you can just use the Drop Down List and bind them to a SQL statement along the lines of the below:
CountryID: Drop down, on the bottom say "Has Depending Fields" checked, set the values to a SQL:
Select null as TheValue, '(Select a country)' as TheText
Select CountryID as TheValue, CountryDIsplayName as TheText
FROM CMS_Country
and for the State, set it to depend on another field, (Visible on CountryID.Value > 0)
Select null as TheValue, '(Select a state)' as TheText
Select StateID as TheValue, StateDisplayName as TheText
FROM CMS_State where CountryID = {% Convert.ToInt(Fields["CountryID"], -1) |(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}
Thank you Trevor, Unfortunately I don't see the options for the first solution you provided. I'll see if I can move forward with the latter.
Sounds good, if it ends up working mark as answered, or post any other questions as you come along with them on this one.
Hello again - I don't have access nor the training to technically start changing any code behind so I'm curious to know how Trevor's first suggestion can be achieved. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong fields/settings... etc?
Thank you
Ahh yes, Thank you Trevor! :) That technically answers the question.
In our situation we are utilizing the form control, "Ajax Country Selector", which defaults to United States, Alabama which isn't desired as we want our customers to select a state, not just have it default to AL.
Thank you
Please, sign in to be able to submit a new answer.

Product information
This guidebook describes Offa's Dyke Path National Trail, following the longest linear earthwork in Britain, running 177 miles along the English-Welsh border between Sedbury (near Chepstow) and Prestatyn on the north Wales Coast, linking the Severn Estuary and the Irish Sea, contouring above the Wye and Dee, visiting hillforts and Norman castles and exploring the hidden heritage of the Marches.
The book splits one of Britain's classic trails into 12 stages, with suggestions for alternative 8 and 16 day schedules. This is a long but not too difficult walk for walkers of all abilities. Step-by-step route descriptions are accompanied by 1:100,000 OS mapping. A trek planner gives at a glance information about facilities, public transport and accommodation available along the route. A separate convenient booklet of 1:25,000 OS maps provides all the mapping needed to complete the trail.
The walk is astonishingly varied, taking in the lower Wye gorge, the Severn and the Dee rift valley, the pastures and woodlands of the border country, the remote moorland of the Black Mountains and the Clwydian range, and the dramatic limestone escarpments of Eglwyseg mountain. What makes it even more special is over 60 miles walking alongside the Saxon earthwork of Offa's Dyke.
