Tamiflu is the brand name of the prescription drug oseltamivir, used to treat influenza A and B in people who have flu symptoms.
They may also prescribe it to prevent flu in those who have been exposed to it but don't yet have symptoms.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Tamiflu in 1999. Roche Pharmaceuticals manufactures it.
Doctors aren't sure whether Tamiflu is safe for newborn babies less than 2 weeks of age.
You shouldn't take Tamiflu if you're allergic to it or any ingredient in the drug.
Tell your doctor if you have inherited a fructose intolerance or have a condition affecting your kidneys, liver, brain, kidney, lungs, or liver before taking Tamiflu.
For unexplained reasons, children are more likely than adults to experience rare and unusual side effects, such as sudden confusion, a change in behavior, seizures, and delirium.
Parents should keep a close eye on children taking Tamiflu and call the doctor immediately if they notice unusual behavior.
Some animal studies have shown that Tamiflu may be harmful to a developing fetus.
According to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), pregnant and breastfeeding women can take Tamiflu, since risks that may occur with the flu are greater than those of the drug.
Although small amounts of Tamiflu enter breast milk, the CDC recommends Tamiflu for breastfeeding mothers rather than the other anti-flu drug zanamivir (Relenza).
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding before taking Tamiflu.
Some common side effects include the following:
Call your doctor immediately if you or your child has any of these side effects:
Tell your doctor and pharmacist about any drugs you're taking.
This includes prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medications, vitamins and other dietary supplements (nutritional shakes, protein powders, etc.), herbal remedies, and any illegal and recreational drugs.
If you've just received the live flu vaccine given in the nostrils (FluMist Quadrivalent) or take Plavix (clopidogrel), tell your doctor before taking Tamiflu.
Alcohol weakens the immune system and can cause dehydration and stomach discomfort.
Avoid drinking alcohol while taking Tamiflu.
Whether or not the liver breaks Tamiflu down the same way that it processes grapefruit juice remains unclear.
Avoid grapefruit juice while taking Tamiflu.
Tamiflu is available in 30 milligram (mg) and 75 mg tablets and a 6 mg/milliliter (ml) syrup.
The usual dose is 75 mg of Tamiflu twice a day for 5 days for adults who have symptoms of influenzas A or B.
If you don't yet have symptoms, your doctor may prescribe one, 75 mg tablet of Tamiflu a day for 10 days.
Doctors base the dose for children under age 13 on their age and weight.
If you suspect an overdose, contact a poison control center or emergency room immediately.
You can contact a poison control center at (800) 222-1222.
If you miss a dose of Tamiflu, try to take it as soon as you remember.
If it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at its usual time.
Do not take two doses of the medication at the same time.

Former New York Mayor and Donald Trump supporter Rudy Giuliani told Politico Monday night that Hillary Clinton is too stupid to be president because she decided to stay with her husband Bill Clinton despite his infidelities.
Trump alluded to the Clinton White House scandal involving Lewinsky at the Monday night debate against Hillary Clinton but decided to hold back on the issue instead. Giuliani, however, told Politico he would have attacked Clinton over the controversy.
"I sure would've talked about what she did to Monica Lewinsky, what that woman standing there did to Monica Lewinsky, trying to paint her as an insane young woman when in fact Monica Lewinsky was an intern," Giuliani said. "The president of the United States, her husband, disgraced this country with what he did in the Oval Office and she didn't just stand by him, she attacked Monica Lewinsky. And after being married to Bill Clinton for 20 years, if you didn't know the moment Monica Lewinsky said that Bill Clinton violated her that she was telling the truth, then you're too stupid to be president."

Training & Regulations
ND's are highly trained medical professionals
Naturopathic medical training in North America is a rigorous process similar in length and content to conventional medical training. Registered (or licensed) Naturopathic Doctors must complete an undergraduate degree, including pre-medical science studies at a recognized university, followed by four years of full-time post-graduate naturopathic training at a college accredited for licensure.
Classroom study includes over 4500 hours of clinical medical sciences along with the study of naturopathic therapies and principles. Additionally, students participate in a 12-month clinical internship, seeing patients while supervised by licensed ND's. The areas of training in the four year, full-time Naturopathic Medicine curriculum include:
Basic Medical Sciences: anatomy, physiology, histology, microbiology, biochemistry, immunology, pharmacology and pathology
Clinical Disciplines: physical and clinical diagnosis, differential and laboratory diagnosis, radiology, naturopathic assessment and orthopedics
Naturopathic Disciplines: clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine & acupuncture, homeopathic medicine, hydrotherapy, naturopathic manipulation and lifestyle counseling and stress management
Clinical Experience: 1500 hours treating patients while supervised by licensed Naturopathic Doctors
Finally, candidates must sit and pass two series of board examinations that have been standardized across North America. Additional exams are written for any jurisdiction the candidate seeks licensure from.
In Canada, ND's are regulated under provincial law. Here, in Ontario, we have been regulated since 1925. More recently, Naturopathic Medicine is regulated under the Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA) – a move that has secured our title and scope of practice, and continues to increase public confidence and awareness.
To ensure you are receiving appropriate care, your ND should be listed as a licensed practitioner on the CONO (College of Naturopaths of Ontario) website. For more information on Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario, our current regulation and the lobbying efforts of our provincial and federal organizations and current regulatory body, or to lend your support, please review the links in the resource section.

Most diseases are the result of medication which has been prescribed to relieve and take away a beneficient and warning symptom on the part of Nature.

Symbol claims switchmakers aren't making switches, are violating standards: It's not as compelling a title as Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, but Peter Judge argues that Symbol and WLAN switchmakers are having an interesting terminology conversation that could affect eventually hundreds of millions of dollars in sales. Judge's article at Techworld should be studied in depth--I read it a couple of times because of the level of detail, but the executive summary:
Symbol says it makes switches, others make bridge managers. Sure, but the bridge managers work just fine. Symbol tries to make the argument that Airespace, Aruba, and Trapeze are making AP management consoles, but it doesn't hold water, and it shouldn't be Symbol's selling point. Airespace, for instance, can dynamically adjust power output on their APs based on traffic patterns; can support multiple-switch failover; and other features that go far behind pure management.
Symbol says the switchmakers violate standards by mapping multiple ESSIDs (network names) to BSSIDs (AP MAC addresses). Unfortunately, Judge points out that that difference has or is eroding for the switch vendors.
Symbol says 802.11e doesn't allow monitoring and AP service on the same devices. Airespace, for one, uses the silicon to handle both simultaneously, instead of switching into a probing mode. Symbol doesn't offer this feature; other WLAN switch vendors suggest install extra access points.
Most interestingly, Judge writes that Symbol owns half the switch market's revenue, which seems extraordinary, but must be an outgrowth of their veteran status as a WLAN builder for warehouses and other information and logistics processing industries.

Water skills are the different techniques for purification and processing water (removing undesirable chemicals, materials, and biological contaminants) to produce water fit for a specific purpose. In general the techniques include physical processes such as filtration and sedimentation, biological processes such as slow sand filters or activated sludge, chemical processes such as flocculation and chlorination and the use of electromagnetic radiation such as ultraviolet light.
Most water is purified for human consumption (drinking water) but water purification may also be designed for a variety of other purposes (medical, pharmacology, chemical and industrial uses). Raw water is water taken from the environment, and is subsequently treated or purified to produce potable water in a water purification works. Raw water should not be considered safe for drinking or washing without further treatment. Sand filters are used for water purification. There are three main types:
- rapid (gravity) sand filters
- upflow sand filters
- slow sand filters
All three methods are used extensively in the water industry. The first two require the use of flocculant chemicals to work effectively whilst slow sand filters can produce very high quality water free from pathogens, taste and odour without the need for chemical aids.

Catalogue description Logs on board H.M.S. Agamemnon, the Count du Nord and the Mampookata, with related papers
This record is held by Liverpool Record Office
|Logs on board H.M.S. Agamemnon, the Count du Nord and the Mampookata, with related papers
The volume listed at 387 MD 62/1 below, in which a number of documents were enfolded, is made up of logs or "Remarks" apparently kept by Thomas Dixon while sailing with a ship of the line H.M.S. Agamemnon and on the slave ships Count du Nord and Mampookata in the period 1782 - 1786. A letter to Thomas Dixon's son, also Thomas Dixon, of Chester, was enfolded in the volume. The letter was written in 1848 by Samuel Knipe, former book-keeper to James Penny, the sometime employer of Thomas Dixon (Senior) (see 387 MD 62/8 below). Knipe had sent Thomas Dixon (Junior) a ship's log - "The Log Book is the Madam Pockatas of which Vessel your Father was Master ...". This may have referred to the log book listed here but was quite possibly a reference to a later log book. Extracts are quoted in Gomer Williams' History of the Liverpool Privateers and ... Liverpool Slave Trade, 1897. Appendix XV, pp. 686 - 688, from a log of the Mampookata, 1787, with acknowledgments to a Mr. T.H. Dixon Esq., The Clappers, Gresford, in whose possession the 1787 log was in 1897.
The information recorded in the logs or "Remarks" is indicated in the detailed list below. Of the two slave ships, the log of the Count du Nord gives a fuller account than does that of the Mampookata.

|Administrative / biographical background:
Thomas Dixon
Little is known of Thomas Dixon. His name does not appear in any Liverpool Directory of the late 1780's or early 1790's.
He apparently served on board H.M.S. Agamemnon, for how long is not known, until June 1783 and then sailed on the slave ship Count du Nord in September of the same year. He appears to have sailed as mate under James Penny of Liverpool as captain. Samuel Knipe (see above and 387 MD 62/8 below) also forwarded to Thomas Dixon (Junior) "... a letter addressed to James Penny Esquire Master of the Compte du Nord on board of which your Father was Mate and was then at Mallimba Trading for Slaves: 31st December 1783 ...".
In March 1785 Dixon sailed from Liverpool in the brig Mampookata of which James Penny of Liverpool was the owner. Knipe wrote over 50 years later in 1848 (387 MD 62/8) to Thomas Dixon (Junior) that the Madampockata [sic] was the vessel of which Thomas Dixon (Senior) "... was Master for several Voyages viz in 1786 to 1789". It is not known when Thomas Dixon became more active as a merchant than a seaman or how close was his business relationship with James Penny. Knipe's account reads rather confusingly but it appears that although the Mampookata was later lost at sea, Thomas Dixon, having sold the ship's cargo of slaves in Dominica "... returned home with the proceeds in Bills in [another] Vessel as passenger ...". Knipe writes to Thomas Dixon (Junior) that he is sending "Relicks" of "... a little drama in which your Venerable Father figured as Mate, Master & Merchant; if you have one spark of his Noble bearing they will be prized for his sake ...". Knipe continues, again confusingly, that "... the Writer [Knipe] was twelve years confidentially employed, namely from 1797 to 1808 for his Interest in the Slave Trade his profit shared was £12,000 out of the Concern of Messrs. James Penny & Co. African Merchants, Liverpool. The Management of his Interest in the Vessels was exclusively with me ...". It would appear that "his Interest", "his profit" etc. refer to Thomas Dixon's interests etc.
From the documents listed at 387 MD 62/6, 62/7 (assuming them to relate to Thomas Dixon (Senior) it seems that Thomas Dixon was still active in trade with the West Indies in 1798.
His son, addressed by Knipe as "Thomas Dixon, Esq., Banker, Chester", is listed in the Chester section of the Commercial Directory, 1818-1820 under Dixon and Chilton, Market Place, Chester. Pigot's Directory of Cheshire, Derbyshire etc., 1828, lists the bankers Dixon and Chilton [sic], Northgate Street Chester, also under "Nobility, Gentry and Clergy", Thomas Dixon esq., Littleton Hall. It is possible that the T.H. Dixon mentioned by Gomer Williams (see above) may have been a grandson of the original Thomas Dixon.
James Penny (c.1741 - 1799)
More is known of James Penny but very little about his origins or background. He appears not to have been a native of Liverpool. Rev. Charles W. Bardsley in Chronicles of the Town and Church of Ulverston. 1885, in describing the connections of the Pennys of Penny Bridge with the Machell family, notes on p. 122 that James Machell married in June 1800 "... Anne, eldest daughter of James Penny of Arrad and Liverpool. She was born Jan. 17, 1777 [sic] ...". The register for St. Peter's, Church Street, Liverpool, 1776 - 1792 (283 PET 1/5, p. 11) records "Born 1777 January 12. Ann daur. of James Penny, Mariner, Church Street, Christened February 21, 1777".
The James Penny mentioned in both volumes would appear to be one and the same. According to the Victoria County History, 1907, Vol. 8, p. 357, Arrad was in the township of Mansriggs, Ulverston. It is not known when James Penny came to Liverpool but his marriage took place in Liverpool in 1768. The register of St. Nicholas Church, 1766 - 1771 (283 NIC 3/3, p. 123 and p. 127) records the marriage as having taken place twice - "James Penny of this Parish, Mariner and Ann Cooper of the same Place Spinster ... by Licence" on 18th June 1768 with Margaret Briggs and John Roper as witnesses and again on 28th June 1768 giving exactly the same details but with John and Oliver Cooper as witnesses. Liverpool parish registers subsequently record the baptisms of numerous children of James Penny - in St. Peter's, Church Street, James on 13 November 1772, Benjamin on 3rd July 1775, Ann on 21 February 1777; in St. George's, Derby Square, John on 18th June 1779, Margaret Maria on 23rd August 1781, Mary Margaret on 7th August 1783, Margaret on 20th September 1785, Jane on 8th January 1787, Elizabeth on 14th November 1788 and Margaret on 21st February 1790.
These baptism entries from 1772 to 1783 describe James Penny as "mariner". From 1785 to 1789 he is given as "merchant".
James Penny is listed in the available Gore's Directory of Liverpool for the period as follows:
1772, 1773 Capt. Penny, Church Street
1774 Captain Penny No. 18, Old Church Yard
1777 Capt. James Penny, 18 Church Street
1781 James Penny, merchant
1787 James Penny, merchant, Ranelagh Street
1790 James Penny, merchant, Hope Street, Martindale Hill
1796 James Penny, merchant, 2 Hope Street, Mount Pleasant Street
James Penny, Junior, merchant, is also listed at this last address.
According to F.E. Sanderson The Liverpool Delegates and Sir William Dolben's Bill in Transactions of the Historic Society of Lancashire and Cheshire, 1972, Vol. 124, p. 64, James Penny had been a captain in the slave trade until the American War of Independence. He returned to the trade after the War "... but as a shipowner on his own account and in partnership with others". His knowledge of the African coast, which according to Sanderson, dated from 1776, included two years as a factor on the Windward coast. He was a "... man of considerable stature in the town, highly regarded by his fellow merchants, his forthright views on the slave trade must have brought him to their notice as a likely delegate". This refers to his having been chosen as one of the five delegates sent to represent the interests of Liverpool before a Committee of the Privy Council in 1788. In the years 1787 to 1789 there was an active parliamentary campaign for the abolition of the slave trade. There was much public feeling in general in favour of abolition but for Liverpool "... the suppression of the African Slave Trade being suggested, ruin seemed to stare the Liverpool Merchants in the face..." (Touzeau). James Penny was one of five delegates sent to London in 1788 to represent the anti-abolitionist interests of the Liverpool merchants before a Privy Council Committee. There are many references to James Penny and the Liverpool delegation in Thomas Clarkson History of the ... Abolition of the African Slave Trade by the British Parliament. 1808, Vols. 1 and 2, pp. 479 - 481 and other pages. Penny and his fellow delegates from Liverpool "... described the horrors attributed to the Slave Trade as so many fables ...". F.E. Sanderson quotes James Penny as having said "Interest is so much blended with Humanity in this Business that ... every Attention is generally paid to the Lives and Health of the Slaves" (see Liverpool and the Slave Trade: a guide to Sources in Transactions of the Historic Society of Lancashire and Cheshire, 1972, Vol. 124, p. 158). Penny and his fellow delegates argued that slavery was a happier condition for the slaves than the barbaric life in their native lands "... so that there was a great accession of happiness to Africa since the introduction of the Trade" (Clarkson).
The Town Council of Liverpool was grateful for the efforts made by Penny and his colleagues and on 4th June 1788 the following resolution was passed:
"It having been reported to this Council that attempts have been lately made in Parliament to abolish the African Slave Trade and Messrs ... Robert Norris, James Penny, John Matthews ... having been deputed by the Committee of the Liverpool African Merchants to attend in London on this Business Ordered that the thanks of this Council be given to the above ... Gentlemen for the important Service rendered by them to the Town of Liverpool ..."
Freedom of the borough of Liverpool was conferred on James Penny and the others "... in consideration of the very essential Advantages derived to the trade of Liverpool from their evidence in support of the African Slave Trade".
James Penny was further rewarded in 1792, for his services against abolition, when the Council gave him "... a piece of plate value £100 ... together with the freedom of the Borough to Mr. James Penny, his eldest son" (see James Touzeau The Rise and Progess of Liverpool from 1551 to 1835, 1910, Vol. 2, pp. 589-599).
After 1788 James Penny continued to trade in slaves at a time when other Liverpool merchants "... were committing less of their property in slaving ventures and the trade of the town had become much more diversified ..." (see Sanderson The Liverpool Delegates ... op. cit. p. 64).
With his eldest son, James, he was elected to the African Company of Merchants trading in Liverpool in July 1793 (see African Company of Merchants Minute Book, 1750 - 1820, 352 MD 1, last page). According to Gomer Williams op. cit., Appendix XIII, pp. 681 - 685, from a list compiled from Liverpool Customs records, James Penny owned in the year January 1798 to January 1799, the following ships sailing to Africa, the figures denoting "the complement of slaves allowed to each", Margaret (225), Rosamund (323), Mona (293), Princess Augusta (365), Favourite (275) and Penny (360). The destination for all his six vessels is given as Angola.
James Penny died in 1799 apparently pre-deceased by his wife. His book-keeper Samuel Knipe (see 387 MD 62/8 below) was "... with him at that awful moment ... He had long been preparing for the change, his daily walks were in the Garden in my company: the loss bewailed was his beloved wife ...". The burial register of St. James, Toxteth, 1790 - 1799, gives the date of death for "James Penny, Mercht. Agd. 58 yrs" as 26th August 1799 and the date of burial as 29th August. James Gibson Epitaphs ... in Liverpool Churches ..., Vol. 3, p. 201, gives his date of death as 27th August 1799 and the death of his eldest son, James, as 7th August 1820, aged 47 years.
Gore's Liverpool Directories continue to include Penny entries after the 1820's but it is not certain if or how they were connected with the family of James Penny (the 1821 Directory gives an entry for Penny and Machell, ropers, for Penny - Machell connections see above). The family appears to have retained links with the Lake District. Rev. C.W. Bardsley op. cit, p. 122, states in a foot note that one of James Penny's daughters married Professor John Wilson. According to the Dictionary of National Biography, Vol. 21, 1909, entry, John Wilson (1785 - 1954) "author, the 'Christopher North' of Blackwood's and professor of moral philosophy" at Edinburgh, married in 1811, Jame Penny "daughter of a Liverpool merchant and 'the leading belle of the lake country" who had removed to Ambleside to be near her married sister".

The intended audience for this book are the organizational leaders who are responsible for both the benefits on which their employees depend and the large and ever-increasing benefit budget that, for most companies, ranks in the top two or three line items on the P&L statement.
The strategic insights and innovative strategies are intended for… the C-level executives with the strategic and fiduciary responsibility for the benefits program. The proven techniques are intended for the benefits professionals in HR with the operational responsibility to implement and execute the benefits program.
The book will be released soon on Amazon. Please watch here for details.
How NextGeneration Benefits Advisers are shattering the status quo in both benefits and healthcare (Chapters 1 & 2)
The NextGeneration Benefits mindset that will allow you to break through your own benefits status quo (Chapters 4, 10, 13 & 16);
Why it's critical (and how) to ensure your benefit adviser's incentives are aligned with yours (Chapter 3);
How "best practices" in benefits and healthcare are failing you and your benefits budget (Chapter 12);
Strategies to take control of your benefits plan and budget to reduce costs (Chapters 4, 5, 10, 11, 14 & 15); and
How to identify and select a NextGeneration Benefits Adviser (Chapter 19).
The visionary NextGeneration Benefits Advisers who have authored this book have committed to breaking through the status quo in both benefits and healthcare and are helping employers across the country provide better benefits AND reduce the cost of those benefits.
These benefits agency leaders, all members of the elite NextGeneration Benefits Network, are among the most innovative, forward-thinking, and effective advisers in the country. They are setting the standard for the industry with their "next practices" that are improving employees' benefits, engaging and educating employees on those benefits, and containing and reducing healthcare costs to ensure that these benefits are affordable and sustainable for their employer clients.
These pace-setting advisers are also among the most collaborative in the industry, meeting quarterly to share and improve their "next practices" and learn and innovate other strategies and techniques. So it was a natural next step to bring them together to author a collaborative book with their best ideas and strategies to break through the benefits status quo.
These are real world strategies and ideas straight from the trenches, not the half-baked product of ivory-tower thinking and conjecturing. Using the information in this book and working with the authors, employers across the U.S. are improving their benefits offering while cutting costs…something status quo brokers will tell you is impossible. But the authors are doing it every day for their clients.
AIL Press is the publishing arm of the Association for Insurance Leadership (AIL). The mission of the AIL is to elevate the employee benefits industry, in part by providing and promoting collaboration and thought leadership.

The Association for Insurance Leadership is delighted and honored to present these NextGeneration Benefits strategies and techniques in Breaking Through The Status Quo.

(Halifax, N.S.) – The Dalhousie Tigers women's hockey team hosted the UPEI Panthers Friday night, earning a 2-1 win in double overtime.
Both teams came out firing in the first period, with the Panthers out-shooting the Tigers 13-10, but neither were able to find the back of the net and headed into the locker room scoreless.
It was more of the same in the second period with UPEI's Camille Scherger (Lloydminster, AB) turning away all nine of the Tigers shots, while Fabiana Petricca (Woodbridge, ON) handled all of the Panthers six scoring attempts.
The third period was a different story. Jenna Pellerin (Halifax, NS) put one past Petricca on a pass from Leah Byrne (Glace Bay, NS) to give the Panthers a 1-0 lead less than 10 minutes in. Annika Rose (North Vancouver, BC) responded for the Tigers eight minutes later with a Panther player in the penalty box. That would end all of the scoring in regulation time, sending the game into overtime.
Neither team was able to score in the first overtime period. Lisa MacLean (Inverness, NS) scored just 20 seconds into the second overtime period to give the Tigers the 2-1 win.
Tigers goalie Fabiana Petricca earned Subway Player of the Game honours, making 36 saves. The Tigers improve to 5-4, while the Panthers fall to 2-4-3.
Both teams are back in action again on Saturday, November 11. The Panthers host Moncton in a 3pm game, while Tigers head to StFX for a 7pm start.

Tokyo has been a popular tourist destination for a long time, with a buzzing day and nightlife, this city as something to offer 24/7 to all ages and interests, but does it really worth the hype?
1. Tokyo is the city where old meets new
The capital of Japan is well known for its skyscrapers and flashy city lights, but there's much more to Tokyo than an eastern copy of New York. The big avenues filled with modern buildings, and high-tech adventures are contrasted with ancient architecture and philosophy, creating a wonderful and one-of-a-kind atmosphere where the west meets the east. Tokyo has something to offer to any visitor, from lovers of the new digital age to the fans of historical sights.
Walking down the busy streets of Tokyo we see gigantic screens non-stop broadcasting advertisements, but just around a corner there might be a beautiful shrine. There are many places you can visit to explore the Edo era Tokyo, when this city was the biggest in the world. Of course, Kyoto more known for its greatly preserved traditional architecture and culture, you can experience this side of Japan in the capital as well.
Visit Asakusa and Ueno to get a glimpse of the old city, with Tokyo's oldest temple Senso-ji, and try traditional snacks from the street venders. Whilst you are there, in Tokyo's largest park, in the Ueno park, you can experience the beauty of Japanese nature: not only you can go for a hanami – cherry blossom viewing if you visit in the spring, but you can visit the first zoo to ever care for a panda in the country. To learn more about the capital's transformation visit the Edo-Tokyo Museum in Sumida.

Edo-Tokyo Museum

Closed on Mondays

2. The most delicious Japanese cuisine are gathered in Tokyo
Another reason why Tokyo is truly a great destination for your next trip is the amazing Japanese cuisine you can explore there! Japanese food is so much more than raw fish, white rice and seaweed. There are numerous delicious dishes you can try once you are in Japan.
Ramen is the best local comfort food: egg noodles in broth with the topping of your choice. You can choose from four different base soups: miso, soy, tonkotsu (pork bone) and salt. The most popular toppings are soft-boiled eggs and pork slices! This deliciously filling noodle soup originates in China but the Japanese made their own spins on it!
For a different boiling deliciousness you can try shabu-shabu – named after the sound of the boiling water. The water is brought to you on a false with a nice plate of fresh vegetables and thinly sliced meat to dip into the water and cook for only a minute before you can enjoy the bites melting in your mouth.
3. Meeting the friendly locals is another fun
If you would need more convincing why should you visit this wonderful city: to meet the locals. Tokyo is one of the busiest cities of the world but also represent a very diverse culture of Japan. From youngsters in eccentric clothing hanging out in Harajuku, to fish auctioneers in the Tsukuji Market, mixed in with tied up business man and westerns expats you will definitely counter people with unique lifestyles and great stories to tell.
If you want to get to know people and maybe guided around the city by locals try Hub Japan's BE A LOCAL to find the best plans.
Try Hub Japan's BE A LOCAL
Hub Japan offers various plans to be a part of real Japan.
There is no city even remotely similar to Tokyo's vibrant culture: it's a place where you can step into he future and travel centuries back at the same time; eat the most delicious meals from the freshest ingredients.

African Americans & Tobacco Use: Why Do We Smoke Less But Suffer More?
My cousin has a dear friend named Paul who is African American and a smoker. The few times I've been in Paul's company, he could barely go two hours without lighting up a cigarette. I remember once while we were waiting to be seated at a restaurant, he stayed outside and smoked until our table was ready. Earlier this year, Paul was hospitalized with COPD. Maybe it was the time in the hospital when he couldn't smoke or the wake-up call he received when he was told all of the damage smoking had done to his body that helped Paul stop smoking – cold turkey! Whatever his defining moment, Paul celebrates being smoke-free today and has no desire to go back.
READ: Are We More Accepting Of Obesity In Black Men?
Tobacco use has long been identified as the leading cause of preventable illness and premature death in the United States. Cigarette smoking is associated with stroke and coronary heart disease, it damages blood vessels and makes your heart beat faster, and can cause blockages that reduce blood flow to your legs and skin. We can add lung diseases, asthma, and different cancers (e.g., bladder cancer, colorectal cancer, stomach cancer, and other organs in the body).
This is a short list of the perils associated with tobacco use and smoking. There are comparable lists of why tobacco use persists in this country, and why certain population groups bear a greater burden of smoking and its negative health effects than others. How we are addressing the problem, though, is always what I'm most interested in.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) successful Tips from Former Smokers national tobacco education campaign, shares sometimes jarring and heart wrenching stories of people who have suffered various health consequences associated with smoking. The campaign effectively puts real faces behind the data that CDC has reported for decades showing the harmful effects of cigarette smoking.
The bottom line of the public health message over the years has been simple – if you smoke, stop, and if you don't smoke, don't start! Policy strategies like raising the price of cigarettes and implementing comprehensive smoke-free laws have been used to prevent initiation and promote smoking cessation.

How Many Chances Do You Get When it Comes to a Mitzvah?
Dear Allison,
There are 613 Mitzvot which is a lot of rules to follow (although not all apply at this time). What happens if you break a mitzvah, e.g. you ate a bacon sandwhich? Would that mean that there's no point in you following that specific mitzvah any more because you've already disobeyed it and God gives you marks out of 613? Or are you allowed to break them, but you have to try to not break them in the future and God looks at what you did for the majority of the time? And also – are the Mitzvot supposed to benefit you in this life or after you die?…Hope that's not too many questions!
Thank you,
Dear Lucy,
Thanks for your questions. You're right that there are 613 mitzvos (commandments) and that not all of them apply now since we currently don't have a Temple in Jerusalem. But just to clarify a point – even the ones that still do apply today are not done by all people at all times as some commandments are performed either infrequently or never (like how to get married and divorced). Also, some are done just by men, some just by women, some only on holidays, etc.
As far as what happens if you break a mitzvah, there's a saying I started with my children that has become a mantra in our house: "It's never too late to do the right thing." That's the Jewish take on mistake making. There is no one capable of not ever breaking a mitzvah and so we're always given the opportunity to right our wrongs within Judaism.
That means that if a person ate a bacon sandwich because he wasn't observant, but later learned, started to care about Jewish law and wanted to start keeping kosher, not only would he get merit for changing his ways, if he truly regretted what he had done before, his aveira (sin) of eating the bacon sandwich would be forgiven. As I mentioned in a previous post, it can get even better than that, because if he saw that the path of bacon eating eventually led to his path of observance then his aveira retroactively would get counted as a mitzvah!
In terms of when the mitzvos are supposed to benefit us, there's a lot said about this subject, but the simple answer is that there seems to be a benefit both in this world and in the next. The Torah mentions specific blessings we will get for following it (like keeping the land of Israel and having a good harvest) and specific curses that will come if we leave it, but it seems that these blessings and curses happen more on a national level than on an individual one.
We're told elsewhere in the Torah that the reward for honoring one's parents and doing a special mitzvah where one shoos away a mother bird before taking its egg will give the person who does each of these things a long life. But then in the Talmud, we learn of a boy who listens to his father, climbs a tree in order to shoo away a mother bird, and then tragically plummets to his death!
Such an outcome is of course puzzling so the Talmud explains the long life that is associated with these commandments is referring to the world to come. And philosophically speaking, it makes sense that we don't see direct, individual rewards or punishments for mitzvos and aveiros in this world because if we did free will would basically be eliminated.
All the best,

Wasn't the story about the baby bird and the man plummeting to his death. Witnessed by a guy called Ha-Aretz and then Ha-Aretz said "there is no G-d" and betrayed the Bar Kochba revolt to Rome.
A whole nation lost over a baby bird…

Hi Allison.
I've seen your discussion on what happens when one breaks a mitzvah.
Could you please discuss the presently applicable mitzvah.
Anyone who also has points on what I've requested could participate.
Thank you

Absolut(ely) For Sale
The Swedish government plans to sell V&S Vin & Sprit AB, a company it has controlled for 90 years and the maker of Absolut vodka, causing a land rush among alcohol marketers who would like to own the world's third leading selling premium liquor brand.
Estimates are the sale could bring as much as $6 billion. The line of potential buyers is forming and it could get fairly long before a deal is done. Bacardi, Diageo, Pernod Ricard, Fortune Brands, LVMH Moet Hennessy-Louis Vuitton and even Anheuser-Busch have been mentioned as potential suitors.
In addition to Absolut, the V&S portfolio includes Cruzan Rum, Plymouth Gin, other spirits and wines.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared Roundup weed killer a "probable human carcinogen," and research has shown that individuals exposed to Roundup sprayed on farms, fields and even in home gardens may be at risk for a deadly cancer called non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Numerous studies published in recent years have reported a possible link between Roundup exposure and cancer, and thousands of lawsuits have been brought against Monsanto by farmworkers, farmers, landscapers and even backyard gardeners, who have been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and other types of cancer after being exposed to Roundup. In the first Roundup verdict, delivered in August 2018, a California jury awarded the terminally ill, 46-year-old plaintiff $289 million in damages for his non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which was diagnosed after the former groundskeeper used Roundup products for years. If you believe you have been adversely affected by side effects of Roundup exposure, contact a knowledgeable Roundup cancer lawyer today to discuss your legal options.
Roundup is a popular weed killer that has been sprayed on nearly every acre of corn, cotton and soybeans crops grown in the United States, in addition to being sprayed in backyards, orchards, parks and on home gardens. Its active ingredient, glyphosate, was commercialized by Monsanto in 1974, and it works by inhibiting an enzyme that is essential to plant growth and life. In the 1990s, Monsanto began selling genetically-modified (GMO) corn, cotton and soy seeds that were designed to resist glyphosate, which meant Roundup could be sprayed liberally on fields and farms across the United States, killing the weeds without damaging the crops. According to a Consumer Reports article published in 2015, "Glyphosate use has increased tenfold in the past 20 years thanks to the rise in genetically modified corn and soy."
Recent research has found that Roundup weed killer may pose a serious risk for people who come in direct contact with the herbicide, namely people who spray Roundup, people who work near farms and fields where the weed killer is sprayed, and people who handle soil contaminated with Roundup. Unfortunately, studies have shown that when Roundup is sprayed on fields, farms and backyards, the herbicide can also end up in our food and drinking water. The most common side effect found in individuals exposed to Roundup weed killer is non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a deadly type of cancer that affects lymphocytes (white blood cells), which are an important part of the immune system. The disease occurs when the body produces too many abnormal lymphocytes, which crowd into the lymph nodes, causing them to swell. Other types of cancer possibly linked to Roundup exposure include:
Amid growing concerns about the potential for Roundup weed killer to cause cancer, researchers have examined the safety of the popular herbicide, and since 2001, several large studies have found a link between Roundup exposure and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including research published back in September 2003, which found a 60% increased risk of the deadly cancer among farmworkers in the Midwestern United States. The alleged connection between Roundup and cancer has been linked to the weed killer's active ingredient, glyphosate, which was categorized by the International Agency for Research on Cancer in 2015 as "probably carcinogenic" to humans. As more and more people come forward with stories about how they were diagnosed with cancer after being exposed to Roundup, Monsanto continues to advertise the safety of its top weed killer, and global sales of Roundup were about $7.8 billion in 2014, making up 30% of the herbicide market.
In March 2018, proceedings began in the Roundup multidistrict litigation presided over by U.S. District Judge Vincent Chhabria in San Francisco, California. Judge Chhabria heard live testimony from expert witnesses for both sides between March 5 and March 9, as part of a Daubert hearing for the case, and on March 19, ordered an additional hearing for two expert witnesses for the plaintiffs. If the expert witnesses are not excluded from testifying at trial, or if a Roundup settlement agreement isn't reached to resolve the litigation, Judge Chhabria is expected to choose a small group of representative cases for early "bellwether" trials. In the meantime, a growing body of evidence suggests that Monsanto may have been involved in a systematic cover-up of Roundup's health risks, and internal documents dubbed the "Monsanto Papers" suggest that Monsanto knew for more than a decade about the potential health risks of Roundup exposure, yet failed to adequately warn the public about these risks. In a company email sent in November 2003, Monsanto toxicologist Donna Farmer warned, "You cannot say that Roundup is not a carcinogen. We have not done the necessary testing on the formulation to make that statement." Still, Monsanto claims that Roundup is safe and continues to market it as the top herbicide in the world.
April 2015 – A Roundup class action lawsuit is filed in California, accusing Monsanto of false advertising, for claiming that Roundup is safe for human use because "glyphosate targets an enzyme found in plants but not in people or pets."
September 2015 – A lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York alleges that a woman's exposure to Roundup sprayed on plants and vegetables in fields and greenhouses from 1994 to 1998, when she worked for a horticultural company, caused her to develop leukemia.
September 2015 – Monsanto faces a lawsuit filed in California Central District Court by Enrique Rubio, who alleges that exposure to Roundup weed killer caused him to develop bone cancer.

June 2016 – A Roundup lawsuit is brought by a woman who used a backpack to spray the weed killer on her one-acre property every week, and was subsequently diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
September 2016 – A backyard gardener alleges that his "extensive" use of Roundup weed killer on his property in San Diego, California, between 2008 and 2010, caused him to develop non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
October 2016 – Hundreds of Roundup lawsuits are centralized in the Northern District of California, as part of a multidistrict litigation (MDL).
December 2017 – A Roundup lawsuit is filed against Monsanto by Teri McCall, the widow of an avocado farmer in California, Jack McCall, who died in 2015 after being exposed to the herbicide for decades on his farm.
December 2017 – Monsanto internal emails, reports and memos unsealed in federal court indicate that the company may have known about Roundup's potential to cause cancer.
March 2018 – The U.S. District Judge presiding over the Roundup MDL hears testimony from expert witnesses for the plaintiffs and defense in a Daubert hearing. Internal documents dubbed the "Monsanto Papers" suggest that the company knew for years about the potential carcinogenic effects of Roundup, yet withheld this information from the public.
August 2018 – A California jury delivers a landmark $289 million verdict in a lawsuit filed by a terminally ill, 46-year-old former groundskeeper for a school district outside San Francisco, who was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma after using Roundup and other glyphosate herbicides for years.
1985 – Based on animal studies, the EPA classifies glyphosate (Roundup) as "possibly carcinogenic."
1991 – The EPA reverses its glyphosate decision, indicating a lack of "convincing carcinogenicity evidence."
2002 – In their own animal experiments, Monsanto finds that "between 5 and 10 percent" of the substance penetrated the skin of rats.
September 2003 – Denmark becomes one of the first countries to ban the spraying of Roundup, after traces of glyphosate are found in the groundwater, where most of the country's drinking water comes from.
2011 – The USDA tests samples of food for glyphosate, and, out of 300 soybean samples, 271 contain glyphosate residues.
September 2012 – French toxicologist Gilles-Eric Seralini conducts a study in which he drips Roundup into the drinking water of rats for two years and feeds them glyphosate-containing genetically-modified corn. Some of the rats developed kidney damage while the female rats developed breast cancer at alarming rates. The study was retracted in 2013, just months after the publishing journal appointed a former Monsanto employee to its advisory board.
May 2013 – The EPA raises the allowable limits of glyphosate in food and feed crops, despite growing concerns about the risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and other types of cancer.
March 2015 – A report from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) – a division of the World Health Organization – finds glyphosate to be "probably carcinogenic" to humans, based on observational studies in the U.S., Canada and Sweden linking Roundup exposure to high rates of NHL among farmworkers.
June 2015 – Roundup is banned from home-gardening shops in France, after the UN declares glyphosate a "probable" human carcinogen.
June 2015 –Denmark's Working Environmental Authority declares Roundup a carcinogen.
August 2015 – A bill is introduced in Hawaii that would ban spraying Roundup and other herbicides on public roads, waterways, sidewalks, and other public places.

November 2015 – The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) disputes the link between Roundup and cancer, reporting that "glyphosate is unlikely to pose a carcinogenic hazard to humans."
January 2016 – Researchers with the FDA test roughly 10 samples of American honey, all of which test positive for glyphosate. According to the researchers, some honeys had twice the legal limit of glyphosate, likely due to the fact that bees are visiting fields sprayed with Roundup and carrying it back to their hives.
February 2016 – Testing finds traces of glyphosate in German beer and organic panty liners sold in France. Other tests have found glyphosate residue in British bread, and in the urine of people across Europe.

March 2016 – The European Union threatens to recall Roundup, after several countries refuse to approve new permits for glyphosate.
July 2017 – The State of California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment adds glyphosate to their list of cancer-causing chemicals.
July 2018 – From now on, all bottles of Roundup herbicide sold in California will be required to carry a warning that it "causes cancer in humans."
November 2001 – Research published in Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers finds a dose-response relationship between Roundup and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
September 2003 – A study published in the journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine finds a 60% increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma among farmworkers in the Midwestern United States.
October 2008 – The International Journal of Cancer publishes research suggesting a two-times increased risk of NHL among men exposed to Roundup weed killer.
2009 – Research published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health finds that farm workers in four coffee-growing regions of Colombia showed "increases in blood markers of chromosomal damage" after glyphosate spraying, compared to non-exposed workers who grew organic coffee.
June 2015 – Danish experts warn that Roundup should not be used by gardeners to control weeds, because "when we see that other mammals get cancer from glyphosate, we must assume that people who are exposed to the substance can also develop cancer."
January 2016 – Research from the University of La Plata in Argentina indicates that about 85% of cotton products, including gauze, baby wipes, cotton balls, and feminine products like sanitary pads and tampons, contain glyphosate.
April 2016 – A study conducted by the Alliance for Natural Health shows traces of glyphosate in popular breakfast foods, like cereal, eggs, bagels, oatmeal, bread and dairy creamer.
October 2017 – Scientists point to Roundup's active ingredient as a possible cause of autism in children.
Every year, approximately 70,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and many of these illnesses are the apparent result of exposure to cancer-causing agents, like Roundup. Still, Monsanto continues to promote the safety of Roundup weed killer, a potentially harmful product it once famously advertised as safer than table salt. Lawsuits brought against Monsanto over Roundup exposure allege the following:
More and more people across the United States are becoming aware of the potential connection between Roundup, glyphosate and cancer, and, as of August 2018, there were more than 8,000 Roundup lawsuits pending against Monsanto, filed on behalf of individuals who were diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and other serious injuries after being exposed to the weed killer. In additional to the federal MDL, plaintiffs from all over the country have filed claims in state courts alleging cancer and other injuries from Roundup exposure. If you or a loved one was exposed to Roundup weed killer, and you have since been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma or another type of cancer, contact an experienced Roundup cancer attorney to discuss your options for legal recourse. You may have grounds to file a Roundup lawsuit against Monsanto, in order to pursue the financial compensation you deserve for your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.

Last week we published a list of Ohio's Class II wastewater injection wells. These wells are used to dispose of brine and other potentially toxic fluids associated with oil and gas production, over half of which comes from out-of-state fracking wells. Today we're discussing the violations these wells have received since 2000.
Of the 9,568 inspections performed on Ohio's approximately 190 disposal wells, there were 867 failed inspections. Some of these failures were new violations, and some were failures on follow up inspections. We've compiled the complete list of violations in this excel document [FAILED_SWD_INSPECTIONS.XLS] for anyone who wishes to do their own analysis.
Looking at the violations by type, 355 violations were related to contamination or pollution and 143 were related to pressure, including operating above or below pressure or failing to monitor the pressure at the well. Other violations included a failure to properly identify wells (33), Tanks not liquid tight/Improper burial (19), Dike or pit not able to prevent escape of Brine or other wastes (11) and Unlawful method of storage or disposal of brine or other wastes (4).
Of the companies operating injection wells, HOUGHTON INVESTMENTS, L.L.C. had the most violations with a total of 85 followed by ENERVEST OPERATING, the "largest oil and gas operator in Ohio", with 59. D & L ENERGY INC came in a close third with 57 violations at its injection disposal wells.
Karl Henkel of the Youngstown Vindicator published an interesting piece in early January highlighting the 120 violations at D&L Energy Inc's 32 injection and extraction wells in Ohio and Pennsylvania. D&L, you may remember, is the company who owns and operates the Youngstown well that likely caused a series of earthquakes in the area in late 2011.
Interesting fact: D&L's "earthquake well" is not on the list of wells with violations. Officially it's named Northstar # 1 and it is Operated by Northstar Disposal Services, an affiliate of D&L Energy. In 2010 and 2011 the well was inspected by ODNR 38 times but no violations were issued.
Reviewing the log of inspections and the associated comments from the inspectors, it appears as though ODNR has a very thorough process. But the fact that this well passed all its inspections and still ended up causing random earthquakes should, at the very least, serve as a warning for those wishing to turn Ohio into the preferred dumping location for fracking waste from around the country.
To be fair, Kasich hasn't exactly ignored this situation. But he certainly has made some recent missteps. After first hearing Kasich wanted to limit injection wells to only 8000 feet we were quickly informed that you "can't set a depth limit" because the rock layers aren't horizontal, according to the geology department chairman at Youngstown State University.
Kasich quickly changed his mind again, and we found out this evening that he temporarily put new injection well permits on hold.
ANYway, here's the map of wells categorized by the number of violations they have received since 2000. Please note the legend option on the map that will allow you to filter the wells by number of violations. As always, we'd like to hear your feedback. Let us know if you live near any of these wells of if you'd like more information on any of them.

text: When I first built the Stanford MBA acceptance rate model, it showed that GPA had little to no impact on acceptance rate. I have reevaluated the data and now I believe that GPA does matter when applying to Stanford. Although GPA has an impact on acceptance, GMAT is still more important for Stanford MBA admissions.

Okay so I've been writing a lot again recently which means, I've been making use of my fave resources again and since I have a lot of writers following me, I figured it's my duty to share these things with you.
So without any further introduction let's jump into it.
(Links are in the titles)
My top five writer resources
This is by far the most important one on the list. See that it's on top? That's because I'm not messing around when I recommend this.
This program gives a couple of tips, sure, but what I love about it is it's in depth character questionnaires. Normally I don't even like questionnaires – but this program has helped me out of multiple story ruts, including the one I had with "Falling for Pink" two years ago.
It's really a great program to help you get to know your characters and their dynamics.
5 out of 5 would recommend.
2.Brandon Sanderson lectures at BYU
Am I one of the lucky people who get to go to the classes that Brandon Sanderson (aka my favorite Fantasy author) is a lecturer at? No. It's a good thing the classes are taped and put on YouTube because I'm not even in the right country for these things.
My obsession with everything Brandon Sanderson started at the age of 13 when my mum said my story reminded her of his books. Since then I have scoured the internet for advice given by him – because obviously he's great and I want to be just like him. Lucky for me, my dad found these classes and they are awesome.
He can explain everything from characters to plotting and it's kind of more an objective view point into writing. My fave lesson on his would be the one on magic systems – you definitely have to watch it.
3.Belly Balot
This is a baby naming site that I have saved in my tabs. It's made my friends look at me weird multiple times.
Like no, I'm not pregnant, just a writer.
This site is great because you can search for names based on the letter they start with, ethnicity, time frame and gender. There is also the editors choice which gives you names from categories such as cowboy names, bad boy names and aristocrat names.
Each name is accompanied by the name meaning.
3.5. Behind the name
After I picked a name from Belly Balot I normally go search it in Behind the name, because there you get more information such as the origins of the name and similar names from different languages. I specifically do this, because I don't always trust Belly Balot's facts – so Behind the name gives a more in detailed explanation of the name's meaning and origin.
4.Fantasy name generator.
This is also one that I use often. This site is masterfully made and I'm honestly a little in love with it, because it has such a wide variety of name generators.
This site has over 1200 different name generators. These are things such as elf names, fantasy surname, clan name etc. Any kind of name you need for your story, this site can generate for you. Obviously I don't use it for character names, but I use it for book titles, surnames and a lot more.
This is a new one, that I'm just now starting to use. But it looks cool so far so I have to share!
If you've ever participated in NaNoWriMo then you'll have seen that they provide these cool charts to help you keep track of how much you've written and how much more you should write.
Well Pacemaker is basically that on steroids.
On this site your project can be anything from a novel to a blog posts. You can use it any time of the year, not just during November. You can decide how intense you want to work and if you want to skip weekends.
It's really looks cool – but like I said I just started using it, so you'll have to try it for yourself to be sure 😛
All right, those are my top five resources today.
There are more, but we can get into those another time. For now, I hope that some of these recommendations prove useful to you and that you write as easy as you breathe in the coming weeks. (unless you have asthma – then I wish for you to write easier than you breath.)

20190513 Shanghai, China
Travel season is here again, starting with a quick trip to Shanghai. While I also own an Empire Builder, a Checkpoint Flyer, and a Western Flyer, the Tri-Star is my favourite bag for long distance travel. Big enough to hold spare clothing should the suitcase get lost, but still easily admissible as business class onboard luggage.
I gave my colleague my 12-year-old Tri-Star because the old zips were looking a bit tough around the edges (still fully functional but not quite boardroom ready anymore). The durability of Tom Bihn bags is awe inspiring.
My Tri-Star is pretty fully spec'ed, including a Brain Cell, Freudian Slip, half a dozen key straps, and various bags and pouches.
The side effect is perfect for flying. It holds a passport pouch, Nik's wallet on a key strap, and various stuff I need on board, such as a Kindle, two phones, and an assortment of cables.
Good stuff all around. Given the price point of these bags, I sometimes wonder whether they were worth the investment. Each trip reminds me that yes, they're worth every cent, and then some.

My trusty nNordic SK at Iao Valley on Maui
and I've been meaning to post one of these... look how well the Large ZTSB fits in the narrow aisle seat area on a Southwest 800
Great way to use the vertical space and I can still fit a foot on both sides
ETA: weird random note... had to stand on the train for 30+min on the way back from the airport during rush hour... I had the A45 on my back with the padded waist belt & sternum strap... since I wanted to hold on and not fall over, I hooked the waist strap through the LZTSB handles and let the bag just hang in front of me whilst I held on to the seat & overhead handles (BART train can be jolty)... that left me with two hands to hold on and coincidentally the weight is easier to carry off your core/hips than by arm... You can't really walk that way and it looks dorky, but who cares in a jammed commuter train at rush hour? :)

I like all the blues and greys...and all the happy citrus colours too! My search unicorn is the Sapphire Dyneema original Small Shop Bag...
I took an amazing trip to Scotland and northern England this month. My Daylight Backpack accompanied me every day, including this walk to St. Columba's Bay on the Isle of Iona. I packed for the 12-day trip in my Tri-Star, folding the Daylight into the bottom of the middle compartment. They were a great combination.
In the park (and park cafe) getting to know my new S25 and delighting in the fact that the TC now fits in the bigger side pockets.
(Edited to delete second pic since if you zoomed in a lot you could see some identifying info from something lying next to the bag. It's too bad because I liked the turkey photo!)

The whole SE in the pocket:
Is the top grab handle on your new s25 different? Looks like another change from the previous model?? Do you have some more closeup pics of this beautiful bag?

It is made from a thicker silky webbing that is also now used for Side Kick/Side Effect straps. I love this webbing! It is SO much friendlier to jackets, especially packable down jackets or ones that are similarly delicate.
I'll try to take some more pics of what else fits in the new front pockets, as I'd like more people to share in some pocket joy.
Edited again to add: so as not to take over this thread I'll post separately with pics of a new 1" strap with new webbing and show it compared to old webbing.

I picked up a $2 jump rope at Walmart this weekend – and no it wasn't from the kids section! Decided to use it today at lunchtime in the gym. What a SPAZ I am! I was laughing so hard at myself – thought I was going to have an accident. Seriously – how hard is it to jump a rope? I see my 9 year old do it all day long! Well, I had to start with baby steps….first doing two step skips – about 5 minutes later I was able to jump with both feet at the same time. Then it took another 10 minutes to not get tangled in the rope for more than 5 jumps. However – I did get a good cardio workout, which was my goal. Once I get a little better I may actually buy a better rope.
Last night I had to cook dinner – James had to work the late shift, so he left some cutlets ready to cook. In the mail was my Sweaty Bands!!! The ones I won on The Marathon Show. Aren't they GORGEOUS? I brought one in to work today to try out. Will let you know how they work.
No, my office is not closed, but I will be taking the day off. I hope that the day is sunny and we can go to the beach. If not, my little one and I plan on painting eggs.
Didn't do the gym yesterday My coworkers and I went out to celebrate winning a $20M job for our company. I tried to eat healthy – but don't think the Shrimp and Lobster chowder is considered diet food. Today I won't be able to do the gym, but plan on running after work. Running outside is really kicking my butt….so I plan on running outside as much as I can even though these hot days really make me want to run on the treadmill with the A/C on high!
I watched Joe from the Marathon Show the other day while he ran and had it televised. I jumped on and off and I actually won Sweaty Bands! Can't wait to get them – I have long hair and usually just put it in a low ponytail, but I have all these short broken hair in the front that I hope this will help keep away from my face and stay in place. Will defintely post to let you know how they worked for me.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT: EOH Helps Government Aim for a Clean Audit in 2014
Recent Kwazulu-Natal Business News
EOH plans to assist Government in delivering a clean audit by 2014. According to the most recent Auditor General report only 14 of the 123 Government departments received a clean audit for the last financial period, underpinning the dire need to address these challenges.
Dion Ramoo, Managing Director of EOH Public Sector Consulting says there is a definite role for consulting to play in the public sector. "EOH Public Sector Consulting has implemented niche financial management solutions at various Government departments including the department of Social Development, Health, Education, Transport, Roads and Public Works. The process replaces manually generated and time consuming systems with an IT solution that contributes to effective and efficient financial management."
Affirming the role played by EOH, the Eastern Cape Department of Roads and Public Works says that EOH Public Sector Consulting brought about a paradigm shift within the department. "The ability to speak the same language as Government is a huge benefit for both parties," according to Ramoo. He says the department's auditing process is now performance and compliance driven. "The actual standard and outcome of the project forms part of the equation, laying the foundations for accountability, quality control and significantly enhanced financial management."
