The dietary supplements are product of the oils of those and different fatty fish in addition to possess both eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), two of the very first-rate omega-3 acids.
fish oil remains exceedingly appeared be useful for managing diverse fitness situations relevant to the heart, strain and also numerous mental fitness situations. It actually is specially used to deal with hypertriglyceridemia, thru which big quantities of fats inside the bloodstream can block arteries plus bring about myocardial infarction or cerebrovascular twist of fate. research have proven that fish oil dietary supplements can also decrease triglyceride degrees round 20 to fifty percent. Omega-3 acids are generally recognized to reduce infection and can be effective in minimizing discomfort from menstruation or arthritis rheumatoid.

We propose that fish oil be used along a meal that allows with assimilation and in addition reduces the risks of a stomach dissatisfied.

Although death is a time of sadness and grief for many, others use it to celebrate the lives of those who have passed on. In many places around the world, these celebrations are elaborate and take on a life of their own. Here are three celebrations of death that celebrate the people of the past.
Obon: The Festival of Lanterns in Japan
Image via Flickr _e.t
Also known as The Festival of the Dead, this celebration is held annually in August. During the festival, souls of the departed return to visit their relatives. Buddhists in Japan celebrate by preparing offerings of special food for the spirits of their ancestors. The offerings are then placed in their homes and on temple altars.
When the sun sets, people light paper lanterns and hang them in front of their doors to help the spirits find their way home. Once the celebrations have ended, the families place the paper lanterns in the rivers and bays of Japan that flow out to the sea. The lit lanterns bobbing in the water guide the spirits back to the realm of the dead until next year's celebration.
P'chum Ben: The Festival of the Dead in Cambodia
Image via Flickr SodanieChea
This celebration, which spans 14 days is held on the 10th month of the lunar calendar – usually in September. For 14 days, Cambodian Buddhists celebrate Pak Ben by waking up before dawn and preparing offerings of food and other gifts for local monks and their ancestors. The offerings include sweets and fruits, and they pray that they'll one day reach their loved ones. Additionally, the Buddhists mix rice and sesame seeds, spreading it across the ground where it's left for the hungry ghosts.
On the 15th day, villagers visit the pagoda with offerings of bean treats and sweet sticky rice wrapped in banana leaves. This marks the start of P'chum Ben and the close of Pak Ben. On this day, people wear their finest clothes, gather with family and friends, and listen to music and speeches by the abbots, monks, and other key figures.
Los Dia de los Muertos: Day of the Dead in Mexico
Image via Flickr uteart
This celebration shares some of its origins with Halloween, like decorating with pictures of skeletons. But it's also derived from European traditions brought forth by the invasions of the Spanish conquistadors. While the American traditional is to rely on services like those provided by American Cremation & Casket Alliance for funeral services, this Mexican tradition is quite different.
People celebrate this fiesta by placing photographs, flowers, drinks, and food on the gravestones of their loved ones or on family altars. Extended families will meet at cemeteries on the evening of the fiesta to take part in a vigil throughout the night and eat the foods they've prepared. The gravestone and altar's preparation is very symbolic during this fiesta.
The flower's brief life span reminds people of how short life is. Colorful tissue decorates gravestones and altars. Fruits and sweets accompany staples in life including bread, salt, and water. At the end, Calaveras statues depicting skeletons take part in activities, like cooking or playing in mariachi bands, bringing a smile to the grieving faces.
Death is imminent and everyone copes with it their own way. Either way, celebrating the life of your loved ones is never a bad idea.

On Wednesday, Lil Wayne proved that he's not a Potterhead during a hilarious game of Virtual Reality Pictionary on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Tasked with drawing various items and phrases using a virtual reality device, the rapper and his teammate Claire Danes went head-to-head with host Jimmy Fallon and Lana Condor. But as the game progressed, it became clear that Lil Wayne needs a crash course in Harry Potter ASAP.
For the final round, the "A Milli" rapper gave his best rendition of the fictional character for Claire and the opposing team. With the winning guess automatically securing either team's victory, Lil Wayne confidently put on his virtual reality headset and prepared to draw.
Starting off on the right foot, he drew a circle for the young wizard's head, but quickly lost both teams when he added a spiky border around it.

Introduction: How to Make a Safety Attachment for a Bag
A bag attachment that lights up for when you have to walk in the dark and also has an alert sound if you feel in a threatening situation.
Equipment needed:
1m fabric
sewing machine
conductive thread
7 LED's
1 slide switch coin cell holder
1 latch switch coin cell holder
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Cutting Material
The size of my material is 109cm by 16cm, this is due to the kind of bag strap that I have so you cut it whatever size, just make sure it will fit round your bag strap. Cut three pieces exactly the same size.
Step 2: Adding in the Circuit
To add your LED's mark from the edge every 10cm with tailors chalk. Leave the two edge marks for your two battery/switches and place an LED on every other mark. Place the slide switch on one of the end marks, so that the switch itself is on the mark.
Sew from the positive side of the coin cell holder, all the way up the line of LED's, making sure they all have the positive sign on the side your sewing, with the conductive thread. Once at the last one tie off and repeat the same thing up the negative side of the circuit, making sure the two lines don't touch.
For the buzzer circuit place the switch on the other mark at the other end of the material and do the same thing, matching the positive sign on the switch to the positive sign on the buzzer, and the same with the negative.
Step 3: Making Your Battery Covers
Get another one of the three pieces of fabric you have cut and place it over the top of the piece with the circuit on. Match up all the edges and draw a rectangle on the top piece to cut a hole out where the two switch plates are so that it can be easily accessed to change the battery, then cut the holes.
Next cut four rectangles exactly the same size, being a 1.5cm's bigger around the edges that the two holes you have cut.
Take two of the rectangles and overlock three of the four sides, leaving one of the shorter sides open, then repeat with the other two pieces and turn them both inside out.
Next iron the two flaps and overlock the last edge on both.
Sew the two covers on to the top piece of material so that they cover each hole.
Step 4: Velcro to the Covers
After you've sewn on the covers get two sets of velcro the right size for the flaps sew one side on to the top piece of material, the opposit side to the side you sewed on the flap, then sew the other side on to the flap, so that it will match up with the piece you have already sewn on.
Repeat the same thing for the other flap.
Step 5: Holes for Your LED's
Match up the the top section with the circuit piece and mark on the top where the LED's are.
Cut holes big enough for the lights to come through on each of the marks and hand sew around them so they don't fray.
Put the piece back on top of the circuit piece and match the lights to the holes so they come through.
To stop them from moving hand sew small lines either side of each light so that the material stays in place.
Step 6: Putting the Pieces Together
line up all three pieces now, the circuit one in the middle then the plain one on the bottom, overlock along all four edges so that it is now sewn together.
If you want to you can hem each side to neaten it up a bit too.
Step 7: Adding the Velcro
Add one long piece of velcro to the edge of the front of the product, sewing along both sides.
then flip it over and sew the other piece of velcro on the opposite edge, sewing on both side now when you fold it over you can velcro it together around your bag strap.
Step 8: Finished
That's it, now you have a removable bag attachment that lights up for when you are walking in the dark and has an alert noise for if you ever find yourself in a threatening situation.

Margaret Downey
· Pennsylvania
610-793-2737 (office), 610-357-9432 (cell)
Margaret Downey has been conducting marriages and other secular ceremonies since 2001.
Margaret is committed to secular principles and will guarantee that every event in which she is involved will be non-religious. For more information about Margaret and the celebrations she officiates, go to her website which is listed above.
For Pennsylvania:
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania allows for a couple to obtain a Self-Uniting Marriage License. This provision allows couples to use the services of a Secular Officiant without government interference. This is not the case in most other states.
For California:
According to California Family Code Section 400, if you want to have a Secular Officiant perform your wedding ceremony, he or she must apply to become a "Deputy Commissioner of Marriages." Doing so would grant Margaret the authority for one day to perform your ceremony. In order to become a deputy commissioner of marriages, Margaret would first obtain the application for appointment issued by the County Clerk.
To complete the application, Margaret will need the following information: date and place of ceremony, the bride and groom's names and mailing addresses. She will need to provide a brief description of why she is seeking deputy commissioner privileges, sign and date the application, then return it to the county clerk. In most counties, a fee must be submitted with the application form. The fee may vary, but $85 is a typical amount. The application must be submitted at least six weeks prior to the ceremony.

He knows that for those of us whose worlds do not include a god, there truly is no greater force of love than the love we hold for our life partners, our children, and the memories of those we've lost. These loves are so great they cannot be borne alone, so we share them with each other through ceremony.
As a Secular Celebrant, he hopes to help other humanists, agnostics, atheists, and others to elevate their great loves into events worth sharing. He firmly believes in the rights of all couples to commit to each other in a ceremony which does not compromise their beliefs and which treats guests of all faith backgrounds with respect.

James Oliver
New York
US Navy veteran (Vietnam era) Honorable discharge. 1969-1972.
Alfred State Technical College Alumni.
15 Years in the financial services industry.
Registered Representative Series 6 & 63.
Currently works at Veterans Affairs Medical Center of Western NY.
I worked as a church Sexton at an Anglican Church for 10 years, I had to be in attendance for all weddings and funerals as the church caretaker/ Sexton and I was always dismayed by every service be it wedding or funeral that each minister did the exact same service for the families, only the names were changed and very impersonal and stilted non-caring feelings would fill the air.
Being a secular celebrant gives me the opportunity for people who are non-religious to embrace life events that are important to them in a manner that makes it much more personal, with a format and content of their own choosing.
Jim is committed to secular principles and will guarantee through his role as a Secular Celebrant of CFI Transnational every event he is involved with will be non-religious.
Randy Pelton
(330) 798-0843 (Home) or (330) 322-3176 (Cell)
Randy Pelton is a past president of the Northeast Ohio branch of the Center for Inquiry and is currently its Vice President of Programming. He plays an active role in the Northern Ohio Freethought Society, an affiliated branch of the Freedom From Religion Foundation. Randy has been a member for more than a decade of and contributor to the American Civil Liberties Union, Americans United for Separation of Church and State and Freedom From Religion Foundation. He is also an active participant in the Freethinker/Atheist community in northeast Ohio as an active member of The Cleveland Freethinkers and The Cleveland Skeptics. Randy will work with you in developing a service to meet your needs and desires in a wedding ceremony, funeral or memorial service, commitment ceremony, baby naming/welcoming ceremonies or any other type of life event with which you seek assistance. Randy lives in the Northeast Ohio area but is willing to travel to any location in the state to assist the non-theist or theist in presentation of a program free of the rituals of a traditional sectarian service or ceremony.
Randy has been a freethinker and atheist for nearly all of his 61 years. He was raised in a nominally Christian household, attended church on occasion as a child, but was skeptical of religious belief from an early age. He recently decided to become a secular celebrant to help members of the non-theist, freethinker community have life event ceremonies and memorials performed by someone who shares their worldview or is seeking simply to avoid the rituals traditionally associated with religious ceremonies. He was married for nearly 36 years and is recently widowed.
(Note: Ohio law currently permits a secular celebrant to perform a marriage ceremony but not solemnize it – sign the marriage license. There is a bill pending in committee in the state legislature that, if approved, would permit secular celebrants to also solemnize a couple's marriage. Randy hopes that this bill is passed soon, thus avoiding the need for a legal challenge, like the one that was necessary in 2014 to permit secular celebrants in the states under the authority of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit to solemnize weddings.)
Randy is a retired high school science teacher with undergraduate degrees in Secondary Education, Geology and Mass Media Communications. Prior to teaching, he was a newspaper and magazine journalist. He lives in Tallmadge, Ohio.

He is now happily retired with Meredith in Pensacola, FL. He was raised as a Methodist and is now a member of the Unitarian Universalist Society. Andre is a Humanist and desires to offer Celebrant help and assistance to the secular non-theistic peoples of the Pensacola area as the community is heavily saturated with Catholicism and evangelicalism. Andre is also especially interested in ways for the secular community to expand it's vocabulary in order to profess the wonderment of life as naturalists and furthering CFI's mission to "foster a secular society."
Michele Shaw
Celebrating rites of passage, rituals, and memorial gatherings are important to so many of us. Milestones and memorials help make life more fulfilling because shared experiences are powerful. They bring people together and enhance each person's individual experience. I hope to be able to help those with a non-religious world view prepare and hold a celebration of a life milestone in a meaningful and secular humanist way.
Michele Shaw is a secular humanist and a strong supporter of the Center for Inquiry, FFRF, and the Secular Coalition for America. Michele is happily married to James and has raised two children free from religion. She has a B.S. in Business Administration from California State University, Long Beach.

Michele will be honored in officiating your secular celebration or ceremony in the Northern Virginia area.

In the past 20 years, Jim has performed approximately 40 non-religious wedding ceremonies, both in and outside California. He has also officiated at several memorials and a few baby-namings.
Jim believes ritual has value because certain life events are important and deserve special attention – even for those who do not practice any particular religion. Secular celebrants are appropriate for people who prefer that religion not be mixed in with their momentous events.
Each ceremony he conducts is unique and written for that specific couple with the couple's involvement. Jim encourages his clients to be creative and to tailor their wedding to fit their personalities and desires. Just because it's an important occasion doesn't mean it can't be fun!

The United States Department of Labor (DOL) recently announced a number of changes to the disclosure obligations of union officials and union employees and the officials' and employees' spouses/minor children under the Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA).
The United States Department of Labor (DOL) recently announced a number of changes to the disclosure obligations of union officials and union employees and the officials' and employees' spouses/minor children under the Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA). This Legal Alert focuses on two of the major changes.
The LMRDA requires, among other things, the disclosure of certain transactions between employers and union officials or union employees where money or other "things of value" change hands. (For ease of reference, the terms "union officials" and "union employees" also include their spouses and minor children.) When these transactions are entered into, employers must complete a Form LM-10 and file it with the DOL within 90 days of the close of the employer's financial year during which the transaction occurred. Union officials/employees must complete a Form LM-30 and likewise file it with the DOL within 90 days of the close of their fiscal year, which for most individuals is the calendar year. While the announced changes currently apply only to union officials and union employees, the DOL has indicated that similar changes may be in store for employers.
The changes are effective only for transactions occurring in fiscal years that begin on or after August 16, 2007. For union officials/employees whose fiscal year corresponds with the calendar year, the announced changes would apply to transactions occurring on or after January 1, 2008.
Changes To the No-Docking/Union Leave Reporting Requirements
Prior to the announced changes, the DOL took the position that union officials/employees who are also employed by an employer are not required to report payments received from their employer pursuant to a union leave or no-docking clause whereby the official/employee was paid by the employer for time spent on union business. With the DOL's changes, however, union officials/employees no longer have a blanket reprieve from the reporting requirements for such payments, although they will still be free of the reporting requirements to an extent.
With the change, payments need not be reported if: (1) such payments were for 250 hours or less during the course of the year; and (2) the payments were made pursuant to a clause in a collective bargaining agreement. If both elements are not met, the payments are reportable. So, if the union official/employee was paid for over 250 hours of union work, the official/employee must report the payments. Likewise, if the collective bargaining agreement does not contain union leave or no-docking language, the union official/employee must report the payment even if it is for less than 250 hours.
Changes To The De Minimis Exception
The DOL has excepted de minimis transactions from the reporting requirements of the LMRDA so long as the total dollar amount of such transactions is $250 or less. For example, if an employer gives $250 worth of money or gifts to a union official/employee over the course of a year, the transaction is not reportable. The DOL has changed the de minimis exception by stating that payments or gifts of $20 or less do not need to be included in determining whether the $250 has been met. Consider the example of an employer who gave a union official/employee a $200 watch, and also bought the official eight dinners at $20 each over the course of the year. In sum, the employer spent $360 on the union official/employee, but the official/employee is not required to report the transactions because the eight lunches do not need to be included in computing the threshold. The DOL has specifically noted, however, that multiple gifts or payments of $20 or less must be reported if it appears the arrangement was designed to avoid the disclosure requirements.
Employers' Bottom Line:
The purpose of the LMRDA is to add transparency to transactions between employers and unions or union officials/employees that could cause a conflict of interest. While the change to the de minimis exception will result in union officials/employees reporting fewer transactions, the overall trend has been one of increasing disclosure, as evidenced by the change to payments under no-docking and union leave policies.
As noted above, the changes in this Legal Alert apply only to disclosures required by union officials/employees; however, the DOL may make similar changes to employers' disclosure requirements. Because the LMRDA has criminal and monetary penalties, it is extremely important for employers to ensure that they file a Form LM-10 for reportable transactions. Employers should also be aware that another federal law, the Labor Management Relations Act, prohibits certain payments from employers to unions or union officials/employees, regardless of whether such payments are reported. Like the LMRDA, the Labor Management Relations Act carries criminal and monetary penalties.
Any payments from an employer to a union or union official/employee should raise a red flag. Some payments are lawful; however, many are not. There are numerous cases in which well-meaning employers have been found to be in violation of the law. If you have any doubt about the legality of such payments, or whether they are reportable, you should consult with experienced labor counsel.
For additional information regarding unions and handbooks, please contact the author of this Alert, Don Lee, an attorney in Ford & Harrison's Atlanta office, 404-888-3861, or the Ford & Harrison attorney with whom you usually work.

parsley plant
The parsley plant I am growing has some issues. The stems are about 6 to 7 inches long the plant grows out of the ground like an inch to two inches. The plant is about 3 to 4 years old. How do I get it back like it was.
This is a very mature Parsley plant. By this time your plant has a very deep tap root and plants of this age may not grow as well. Make sure the soil is nice and loose.
Parsley needs a nice sunny location and it may be getting leggy if it is not getting enough sunlight.
Harvest the older leaves to force the plant to grow new leaves.
Your plant is likely tired and you may want to consider starting some new plants to replace this one.

Day 475
We indeed were awoken at 5:30 AM, about one hour before dawn. Soon thereafter, the four fat women began babbling again. This time, they mixed "Are you going into the jungle?" along with "I have one week of fuel..." and their usual deluge of Taki Taki as part of their mocking routine. At one point, the driver decided that the boat was unbalanced and asked Craig and I to move over, despite the fact that the women weighed five times as much as us. Maybe he was afraid of talking to the women after seeing how they treated us.
The women finally got off after a few hours. Omara asked me why I wasn't talking today. I told her "Because you somehow think it's funny that we eat food and like to try to sleep at night and you've laughed at everything we've done constantly for the last day." Craig threw in "You're the rudest people I've met in three years in South America," along with some other phrases that were not nearly as kind. Something was seriously wrong with these women, the one in particular, but at least we were rid of them.
The rest of the trip was quite pleasant. The river was low, so rocks were sticking up everywhere. This also created many sets of rapids for us to navigate around and over. There was also one case where we had to portage all of our gear around a large rapid. This was not at all like the Corentine on the other side of the country, which was wide and deep as far up it as we went. Surprisingly, the area was more populated than along the Conentine despite the rougher terrain. We passed Maroon villages and boats similar to our own almost constantly. This was probably due to a higher amount of mining in the area because most of the boats were full of fuel drums, and we passed many excavators in the river.
We made it to Maripasoula at dusk. We got dropped off at a fueling center and had to walk half an hour to get to the center of town. It was a bad time to arrive because we didn't speak the language, knew nothing about the town other than that it was a nice place to visit, and didn't want to pay $60/night for a hotel room. We decided to set up camp near some fishermen by the river and look for the visitor's center tomorrow.

In his remarks, Pence denounced Cuba as a "tired communist regime" that impoverishes its people and denies them fundamental rights.
In the end, the statement was signed by 16 nations, fewer than half of the 35 countries that are members of the Organization of American States (OAS).
Chile's president, Sebastian Pinera, criticized the "inability of the global community" to find effective ways to "stop the use of chemical weapons against human beings", while Argentine President Mauricio Macri told the gathering that the worldwide community should keep pursuing dialogue in an attempt to avoid "an escalation of tension".
Vice President Mike Pence has congratulated Chile's Sebastian Pinera on his return to the presidency.
Vice President Mike Pence has arrived in Peru for a Latin American summit at which he's expected to push a tough line on Venezuela and point to the U.S.as an ideal trading partner in the region.
The move came shortly before President Donald Trump is expected to address the US on Friday night amid anticipation of a retaliatory strike for an apparent Syrian chemical weapon attack last weekend that killed more than 40 people. How ironic that today the USA president is disfiguring the North-American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with the argument that Mexico takes unfair advantage of the United States!
Relations between the USA and Cuba have regressed after a thaw during former President Barack Obama's administration.
He has said if he's not happy with the terms, then he'll pull the USA out.
U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross told the summit that Washington would not "cede leadership" to China in Latin America.
Maduro said that the regional summit should be a space for discussion of "the north with the south", adding that the Summit provided no conclusions, no proposals and no decisions.
Business leaders are set to convene the first meeting of the summit on Monday morning.
On Thursday, Trump ordered his top economic advisers to study rejoining the TPP, a multilateral trade deal he once called the "rape" of the country that he withdrew the United States from a year ago in one of his first acts as president.
Pence list comprised smoothing over differences with Mexico, America's southern neighbor, offset unease around Trump's determination to deliver troops into the border and rhetoric.
Pence says he looks forward to discussing NAFTA and a broad range of issues between the two countries.
The Summit of the Americas has lost legitimacy in the face of the peoples of the region, stated the Argentinean intellectual Atilio Boron, in an interview granted to Telesur in this capital.
"The United States of America will not stand idly by as Venezuela crumbles", Pence said in a speech.
Pence said Saturday in a meeting with Peruvian President Martín Vizcarra at the Summit of the Americas in Lima that he's grateful for Vizcarra's role in withdrawing Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's invitation to the summit.
"We profoundly regret that our broth Nicolás Maduro is not sitting here with us", Morales said of his controversial political ally.
Trump cancelled his trip to the summit on Tuesday, with the White House explaining that he had "to oversee the American response to Syria and to monitor developments around the world". The U.S. led a missile strike in Syria earlier Saturday.
A letter written by New Jersey Democrat Bob Menendez and 13 Senate colleagues says that Trump's derogatory comments about Mexican immigrants and Haiti are "damaging to critical relationships we need to promote our own national interests".
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence was at his hotel in Lima, Peru, when President Donald Trump announced retaliatory airstrikes in Syria for an apparent chemical weapon attack there last weekend. Although Castro never officially confirmed he would attend the summit, there were high expectations he would show to bid farewell to regional leaders as he prepares to step down in a week's time from the presidency.

Safetip #147: Develop, Document & Evaluate Safe Work Practices
This week's Safetip is about developing and documenting safe work practices, and evaluating their effectiveness.
What Are Safe Work Practices?
Safe work practices protect workers from hazards and risks of injury or illness. According to the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health & Safety, some elements of safe work practices include:
- Developing and implementing safe work procedures or standard operating procedures.
- Training and education of employees about the operating procedures, as well as other necessary workplace training.
- Establishing and maintaining good housekeeping programs.
- Keeping equipment well-maintained.
- Preparing and training for emergency response for incidents such as spills, fire or employee injury.
Develop and document safe work practices, and make sure that workers are aware of them. But more importantly, evaluate them and verify if more effective control methods are available.
Safe Work Practices in the Context of the Hierarchy of Controls
Safe work practices are certainly useful, but it's important to view them in the context of the hierarchy of controls when evaluating them. The hierarchy of controls can be used to determine the most feasible and effective controls. Control methods at the top (elimination, substitution, and engineering controls) are more effective and protective than those at the bottom, but they can also be potentially costlier and more difficult to implement:
Safe work practices are a form of administrative controls. They're not the most effective type of controls, but they may be more feasible that elimination, substitution or engineering controls. In many cases, even if well-designed engineering controls are present and performing adequately, safe work practices should still be present.
Evaluate the effectiveness of safe work practices periodically. As part of the evaluation, determine whether engineering controls can be used instead, or if safe work practices remain the most feasible method. You should go ahead and implement engineering controls if it becomes feasible due to increased budgets, or if safe work practices are no longer enough to produce an adequate level of worker protection.
