Menopause Day & Night Relief
Blooms Menopause Day & Night Relief is naturally formulated to provide comprehensive support in two tailored formulas for soothing relief around the clock.
Blooms Menopause Day & Night Relief can help provide support not only during menopause, but also during peri-menopause, for the range of symptoms that women can experience during this transitional time.
Day Relief Formula
The day formula helps relieve hot flushes, anxiety, stress, fatigue, irritability and forgetfulness. The B Vitamins in this formula improve energy, assist with stress, and support the nervous system. Vitamin B6 assists the production of serotonin and Vitamin B5 is known as the 'anti-stress' vitamin because of its support of the adrenal glands. The herb Withania supports brain function and helps keep stress and anxiety at bay. Schizandra helps relieve hot flushes. It supports sleep, memory and liver function and can be beneficial during times of stress. Zizyphus has a sedative action and has been used traditionally in Chinese medicine to relieve excessive sweating.
Night Relief Formula
The night formula helps relieve night sweats, anxiety and insomnia. Kava root extract can help improve mood and relieve anxiety associated with menopause. Zizyphus is used traditionally for the relief of insomnia, anxiety and excessive sweating. Magnesium is also included in the night formula. Both formulas contain the herb Zizyphus for excessive sweating which manifests in the day as hot flushes and at night time as night sweats.
Day Relief Formula
Each vege capsule contains:
Withania somnifera (Withania)
extract equivalent to dry root 3 g (3000 mg)
Schisandra chinensis (Schizandra) extract
equivalent to dry fruit 1.5 g (1500 mg)
Ziziphus jujuba var spinosa (Zizyphus)
extract equivalent to dry seed 1 g (1000 mg)
Thiamine hydrochloride (Vitamin B1) 10 mg
Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) 25 mg
Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3) 15 mg
Calcium pantothenate 20 mg
equivalent pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5) 18.3 mg
Pyridoxine hydrochloride 50 mg
equivalent pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) 41.1 mg
Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) 5 mcg
Night Relief Formula
Each vege capsule contains:
Piper methysticum (Kava)
extract equivalent to dry root 2.5 g (2500 mg)
equivalent to kavalactones 35 mg
Ziziphus jujuba var spinosa (Zizyphus)
extract equivalent to dry seed 1 g (1000 mg)
Magnesium (as amino acid chelate) 50 mg
No added gluten, yeast, milk derivatives, animal products, salt, lactose, artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.
Managing hot flushes
There are many triggers for hot flushes and measures can be taken to reduce them including:
- Reducing exposure to warm environments, using air-conditioning, fans and keeping a cold pack near the bed.
- Wear loose, thin layers so you can cool down quickly when you need to.
- Take a cool shower before bed, sleep in cotton sheets.
- Reduce anxiety and stress – try deep breathing, meditation and/or yoga.
- Reduce intake of stimulating substances such as spicy foods, alcohol, caffeine and sugar.
- Avoid rushing, wherever possible plan to arrive early for appointments and meetings.
Other ways to support the body naturally during menopause
During this transitional time the body can be supported naturally:
- Reducing stress will take the load off the adrenal glands.
- Regular gentle exercise such as yoga and pilates, as short bursts of intense exercise may trigger a hot flush.
- Supporting the liver which processes oestrogen.
- Eat low fat protein – lean fish, chicken, eggs and tofu. Avoid processed foods and stimulating substances like mentioned above.
- Support the body naturally with herbs, vitamins and minerals.
Adults: Take 1 day relief capsule in the morning, and 1 night relief capsule half an hour before going to bed.

Introduction: Keyboard Calander
Im going to show you how to make a keyboard calannder out of a old keyboard
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: Dismantle the Keyboard
Get out a old keyboard and tear it apart. Salvage all of the keys. If you lose some we'll help you. Those weird things you find under the keys you dont need.
Step 2: Keep These Keys:
Keep the following keys: All of the F keys (F1, F2, etc.), All of the number keys, the letters keys: S M T W H F, and the End key.
If your missing any number keys here are some similar ones;
sideways W = 3
Step 3: Start Building
Line up the 1st line of the calander with these keys in this order: S M T W H F End
Step 4: Look Up the Next Month
Look up the next month see when it starts and when it ends. Then begin using the F keys.
Step 5: When Your Done With the F Keys...
start off with the number keys. You cant have the 10s place in there so 10 = 0 11 = 1 20 = 0 etc.
Step 6: When Done
If you used the month Januarury 2010 you calander should look like this. Compare the image and yours to make sure its correct. You will end up with an extra 1 and 2 key.

The coup de grâce here would be another keyboard or two for the numbers and the days of the week letter notation (MTWHFSEnd) used, very clever!
I urge you to repost this using an expanded keyboard for the numbering and proper backing!
Bonito y creativo... y tantos teclados que se encuentran en la basura.. voy a hacer pa vender :P
and also, you can make some sort of place to set the keys in so you can easily change around the dates when you need it.
i like this a lot. it would be a lot easier to make this with multiple keyboards, so that you can have all the numbers. if you had a second or third keyboard to use, for the date numbers, you could easily add a second numeral with ink, or some other material to show the actual day. (i.e. a "3" key could add a "0" on it to make 30.)
i like this a lot. i think i will make one if i have the opportunity. (:

We descibe the case of a girl of Indian origin who presented with recurrent infections. The only abnormality detected in the armoury of the immune system was consistent neutropenia. Mutation analysis revealed ELA2 (neutrophil elastase) gene mutation that has been associated with severe congenital neutropenia phenotype. Patient was treated with the granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) as prevention of infectious manifestations along with appropriate measure to curb secondary complications. She showed poor response to the G-CSF during stringent surveillance. After being on treatment for 1 year, she developed acute myelogenous leukemia as inherit complication of this disease.

By living at CHLA for over 100 days I became Grace's closest friend. I helped her face each fear. I held her through each painful treatment. We played Barbies for hours when she was in isolation and not allowed to play with the other children. We colored together. Sang silly songs together. I essentially became a five-year old so that my daughter wouldn't be lonely. We lived this way often for weeks at a time.
When Grace was able to start living at home again I was eager to do grown-up things. Like talk to my husband. And pee in solitude. Grace became angrier and angrier and we couldn't figure it out. We imagined she'd be thrilled to be a regular kid again.
Finally we realized she saw me being a grown-up as if I had just ended a marriage with her. She was the scorned lover. So we backtracked and re-enacted the hospital life for a few weeks while we slowly weaned her off her mommy dependency. Not that she didn't still need me but we eventually returned to a more regular mommy-daughter relationship.
Fast forward one year.
Two nights ago Grace didn't want to eat her broccoli for dinner. I told her that I was thrilled and that I would only give her junk food and candy from then on out. No broccoli ever again. She looked at me suspiciously. I told her that if she ate healthy food then she'd grow big and strong and one day she'd be a teenager and even go to college. If she ate junk food then she would always stay my baby girl we would cuddle and I'd hold her tight forever. She ate her broccoli in a flash. She even licked the plate.
Grandma noticed the change too. Her two Grandmas and I used to hold very high places of honor in her life. Mostly because we were some of her main playmates when she was too sick to have friends. But she's back in school. She LOVES kindergarten. I think learning to read, learning to ride her bike, learning to have peers as playmates, has given her a huge sense of independence that our alpha-female is cherishing. Now the Grandmas and I are "regular." At first this was a painful realization.
I enjoyed the cuddles. I loved the secret smiles and her little hand always holding mine. I wasn't huge on the Barbie-marathons, but there was a lot of affection that blossomed in those moments. Now many of those moments are shared with friends at school. With her teacher. And in some ways I feel like they don't deserve them. They didn't clean Grace every time she vomited. They didn't push the call button every time she needed more pain meds through the night. They weren't there when she needed to play CandyLand eight times in a row.
Grace is now the happy divorcee and I am the left behind lover.
And I'm so thankful for that. I really am. Once we get the test results back next Monday (and I feel confident they show her to be cancer-free) my daughter will be normal again. Totally normal. She will be a regular kid without many of the emotional scars that cancer so often leaves. She will always need me, and her family, but not as much as before. She'll live her own life while we get to cheer from the sidelines.
It cost me everything I had to give for two years for this moment. As a mom it's so bittersweet. But I am so pleased that she's already beginning to leave the nest. She's learning to fly and I know she is capable of soaring.

The Most Overlooked Key for Success
"The Happiness Factor"
…As you live the life you love
"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful." Albert Schweitzer
Every morning I make the greatest effort to jump out of bed, throw my hands in the air and shout out as loud as I can "I love my life." I must admit on occasion I have to go back and do this activity again… to really kick my heart, life and mind into gear to look at all of my blessings and possibilities.
"The moments of happiness we enjoy take us by surprise. It is not that we seize them, but that they seize us." Ashley Montagu
What is your happiness ratio… how often do you overflow with joy, laughter and real fun? Rate yourself on a scale of 1-10. Hum? Is your score high enough?
We think if we work hard, I'll be more successful and when I'm more successful, then I'll be happier, and by putting happiness on the opposite side of success your brain never gets there. Our brains work the best in the positive area being more positive in the present. Our brains are capable of adapting to the world in a happier state when we live in the positive. It's time to shift our Happiness Factor and adjust our Happiness Ratio. This will help you begin the process if your score is below an "8".
Creating lasting positive change by practicing positive activities for at least 21-days in a row… is a great igniter for you to realize positive transformation. Here is a great way to get started:
• Share 3 Gratitudes each day verbally or in hand written notes
• Journaling – the good things in each day
• Exercise – kicks in all of the great positive chemicals in your body
• Meditation – Gives your mind and body a time to reflect on the good
• Random Acts of Kindness – Doing for others (even if they don't know who you are) will lift your life, energy and purpose like nothing else.
• Then watch the TED Talk link I'm sharing with you below. You will really become inspired when you hear Shawn Achor's short presentation… and please watch the entire delivery.. (12 quick minutes)
Shawn Achor: The happy secret to better work | TED Talk | TED.com
You've heard me speak about this so often that I hope you won't discount the power and value of your "Why" for creating the life you love. Discovering your Why- this is a powerful force that explains why you do the things you do, what motivates you, what drives you, what causes you to like doing one activity over another. Your why defines your comfort zones and helps explain why you may be more comfortable in some situations over others, and the people you may gravitate to. Your why is revealed in the way you communicate – in every story you share including the words you use to share, the emotions that are attached and the values that drive you.
Stay connected to your "Why" and let it bring you happiness. Your "Why" is your Magnet for joy and fulfillment.
You now have the overlooked "key" to success – for every area of your life… work life, play life, love life, health life and "You" life.
Find your "Laugh out loud" place… to live your "Life out loud" space. cc

This event sells out quickly, so if you're planning on attending, purchase tickets now. Photo Ops are available for Saturday and Sunday here.
Are you planning on hanging out with Nick in Atlanta? We can't wait to hear all about it!

Many people are used to immediately thinking of Marvel or Detective Comics when asked what comic publishers they read from. You'll often find people who claim that they are fans of one more than the other. But there's more than just one publishing company out there! There's five major comic publishing companies, one in particular known for allowing their writers creative rights over their specific intellectual property. The company I'm talking about is Image. And the comic series that I wanted to review this week is Rat Queens, written by Kurtis J. Wiebe and drawn by Roc Upchurch, a recent series that is starting to gain a lot of popularity online.
Rat Queens: Sass and Sorcery Vol 1 is a collection of the first five issues of the series, the first arc of a story rooted in sword and spell fantasy with a mix of blue humor. The Rat Queens are an all-female adventuring party based out of the town of Pallisade, an unlikely quartet: Hannah, a spell-slinger with a fiery temper; Violet, the dwarven fighter who started the sans-beard fashion craze; Dee, an atheist cleric who fled her cult of Squid-Death-God worshipping family; and Betty, a tiny, adorable little smidgen with a personality three times as big.
The personality of the Rat Queens is the driving force behind the book – it's a delight to watch the quartet and their interactions with a lively world of so many diverse characters. It doesn't matter if they're attacking trolls, fighting mercenaries or generally annoying the townsfolk of Pallisade, their day-to-day adventures are what make the book what it is. There is a plot to the arc, too: someone's hired assassins to take on what the townsfolk consider as their "adventurer" problem, and it's up to the Queens to find out and save what's left of their name. If you can call their name honest and proud, that is.
The art by Roc Upchurch compliments the writing style in a creative union of art and word, the designs of the Rat Queens as expressive and wild as the story. The read ranges from blood and battle to small moments of humor, of personal narrative to epic tale, blending the story together seamlessly and as an engaging book altogether. Rat Queens is for an older audience, so young readers be warned! You can find Rat Queens at your local comics shop, online at Image's website or on Comixology!

Just because I haven't had time to sew much lately, doesn't mean I haven't had time for fabric shopping…
Has anyone else noticed a group of new art-deco inspired fabrics?
I love art deco motif's, so I'm quickly acquiring a pile of them in both warm and cool colors.
I haven't decided what I'm doing with them yet, fussy cut somehow, I think, to show off the flourishes. Any ideas?
ETA – The fabrics are from Perch, by Alice Kennedy (on the left here – I think it's my favorite of them all), and two from Filigree, by Art Gallery Fabrics (the whole collection has an Art Deco feel). The yellow is "Garden Tile" from Clothworks.

A Day in the Life
There's no such thing as a typical day in our life. Schedules vary according to season, homeschool routines, Alex's work schedule, and our own ever changing whims. This is a fair representation of how we roll.
3:50 I wake up to meowing, and squawking. Peter has brought home a sparrow for Wendy to play with. Alex and I hop out of bed, he grabs a flashlight and I grab a yogurt container. Less than a minute later the bird is off the boat, we've practiced this routine too many times in the past month. Together we close the hatches to keep the mighty hunter on the boat for the rest of the night. I read for a while, trying to fall back to sleep.
6:00 I've finally drifted off to sleep when one of our neighbors fires up their engine, making an early start. Bow thrusters are noisy, especially when the sound is carried underwater.
6:15 Construction starts on the office building next door, I swear into my pillow about stupid cats and stupid people who won't let me sleep.
7:05 "Mommy, wake up time!" Kinsley wakes up anywhere between 6 and 8 but has to wait until her clock says 7 before waking me up. We start the day with a snuggle on the couch. She moves on to breakfast and a show on the iPad, I head for tea and cereal.
7:45 Alex is up. I take five minute to hang up yesterday's bathing suits and towels on the lines. There were thunderstorms last night so I didn't hang anything up after our trip to the lake and there's nowhere to hang sandy dripping towels inside without them being completely in the way. From there I head to the YMCA to swim. The down side of living at a dock, you might be surrounded by water but you don't want to swim in it.
9:00 I return to the boat. Owen is awake and having breakfast and his show. Alex heads up the marina shower, Kinsley plays with her dollhouse. I fill the water tanks, we ran out last night and since it was raining and I had enough to make tea in the morning, procrastination won. I set the timer and fill the tanks for 7 minutes. The timer is needed because the tank has no window or gauge of any kind so it's a bit of a guessing game to know when the tank full. Once that's done, I wash the breakfast dishes.
9:30 Alex settles in to work, despite the rest of us chatting and moving in the main room of the boat.
More tea for me while I pack lunches for Owen, Kinsey and I. The kids begin playing with Owen's potion kit. I'm told they are working on an invisibility potion. I pause lunch prep to help grind beetle eggs. Then the potion needs time to stew before they can complete the next steps.
10:00 Owen moves on to Khan Academy to work on some math skills. He's determined to get 6th grade 100% completed but the program has updated and added some new skills so he has more work than expected. Kinsley pulls out her 100 numbers chart for a while and then switches to writing Kinsley's Book About Cats. I alternate between one step of lunch prep and one page of taking dictation. The book is four pages long when it's time to go.
10:20 Shoes and life jackets on, down the docks we go to the car. Owen has sword fighting this morning with a group of homeschool kids in Cambridge. It's a 20 minute drive so I get us going 40 minutes ahead of time. It continues to amaze me how long it takes us to get from the boat to buckled in the car. I double check that we have everything before we head out, forgetting anything back on the boat leads to long mental debates to decide if the forgotten item is worth the walk back to the boat or not. Today we make it out without any mistakes.
11:00 Owen battles with five other kids while Kinsley and I work more on her book. We are up to eight pages. She's trilled to share her work with some of the other parents and cheerfully explains that some parts are real but most of it is fiction. We picnic for lunch and then head up the hill to watch the end of Owen's class.
12:30 Owen eats lunch in the car on the way to Trader Joe's. Owen and Kinsley are helping run a lemonade and cookie stand in the afternoon and we have no eggs. The anticipation for cheese crackers means everyone is willing to add an errand on the way home.
1:00 Back at the marina I quickly decide against stopping at the office to pick up packages. A backpack, two bags, and two tired kids is more than enough for one load.
1:30 Quiet Time! Owen retreats to his room to read though his stack of library books while listening to an audio book… I still haven't figured that one out. Kinsley brings her dollhouse to my bed. Alex keeps working in the main room. The boat has no doors so everyone can still hear and see one another but this set-up adds some distance. The main rule of quiet time is that I get an hour without having to answer questions. I grab a cup of tea and settle in the cockpit to read email and write. Peter naps on the refrigerator. It's cool there, which reminds me to look into adding more insulation.
2:30 Quiet time is over and cookie baking begins. I pull the cushions off the couch to gather the baking ingredients, open the cabinet below the stove for a bowl and pan, and start the propane. To light the oven first I have to light the rightmost burner and leave it on for a minute or two. Only then can I turn on the pilot light, grab my sparker, and light the oven. It doesn't hold temperature well so I try and be sure to let it preheat well before baking. Two enthusiastic kids are hard to fit in the kitchen at the same time so I divide the steps of the recipe to give them each a chance to help.
3:00 I stay in the kitchen swapping batches of cookies. Kinsley plays school on the floor of the main room, asking "teacher mommy" to give her alphabet lessons to study.
4:15 Cookies are done. It takes four batches at twice the normal baking time. The oven is only 13″ wide so that severely limits the size of each batch.
4:30 Life jackets back on, shoes optional this time, we head out of the marina for a lemonade and cookie stand with Thalia and Naomi, boat neighbors. Last year we managed to run a stand every Thursday but this summer has been busier for all of us. This is the first time all four of them have the change to go into business together this summer. The kids have some regular customers as well as a steady stream of businessmen and women heading to the trains and tourists traveling the Freedom Trail. Tonight, one of the marina liveaboards offers them a deal, will they accept a wooden box with unknown contents in exchange for a cookie? No question, these kids love surprises. It turns out to be full of coins, the kids are squeeing with excitement.
6:00 Back to the boat for dinner in the cockpit. It's been hot this week so we're having salads. No lettuce or dressing for Owen. No peppers for Kinsley and I. No tomato for Alex. Why do I keep thinking this is a quick easy meal?
6:45 We divide and conquer for stories. I read to Kinsley on my bed, we are most of the way through an adorable series called The Lighthouse Family. Owen puts away the dishes and cleans up his room so there's room for him to sleep. Alex and Owen settle into the cockpit for their book, currently Jurassic Park. Kinsley is usually in bed by 7:30, Owen heads to his room around 8:00. She falls asleep right away most nights but will sometimes play with stuffed animals for a while before drifting off. Owen hangs out in his room and reads for a few hours before going to bed.
7:15 I answer three calls for the "very absolutely the last" hug of the night from Kinsley while I wash the dishes. I leave them stacked in the sink for the drying fairies to take care of before Owen puts them away in the morning.
8:00 Alex and I have tea and chocolate on our bed while watching an episode of West Wing before reading ourselves to sleep. The hatches and portlights are all open, the breezes are blowing, and hopefully everyone will sleep well.

Breaking MLM Scam Alert: TVI Express insider call reveals some interesting facts and even more questions. As I listened to this call, I found it very informative, and well put together. The field leaders who ran the call stayed in control. However, the top distributor they were interviewing loved to dodge answering the questions head on.
Over the last week reading the comments of some very sincere TVI Express reps, I was truly hoping I was wrong.
Let's listen to the highlights of this call.
Now this brings up an interesting fact. If the number shared is correct, and 300,000 people have joined and paid $250.00 each. Then this company has taken in $75,000,000.00. No wonder all of a sudden their office is closed, weeks later they still haven't opened a new office, and they claim server issues.
Seriously, even if they paid out 72% in commissions they still have $21,000,000.00 to run the company. They should not be having server issues or any other issues for that matter.
Here is the important facts from the call on this subject.
1. If they have been attacked, and did not disclose this to their membership base, they have violated state and federal laws in the USA (Their servers are located in Dallas Texas at The Planet.)
Express Limited, TVI
c/o Network Solutions
P.O. Box 447
Herndon, VA. 20172-0447
Domain Name: TVIEXPRESS.COM
Administrative Contact, Technical Contact:
Express Limited, TVI
c/o Network Solutions
P.O. Box 447
Herndon, VA 20172-0447
Record expires on 29-Apr-2011.
Record created on 29-Apr-2008.
Database last updated on 23-Oct-2009 04:33:03 EDT.
Domain servers in listed order:
It doesn't matter how you try and defend the actions of this company, they are putting their membership at risk. I sure hope the TVI Express members did not have any of their information stolen.
Now this brings up a questions:
If they have stopped providing a Certificate (not sure if this is the $250.00 voucher) for the vacation, then exactly what besides a place in the Matrix does the $250.00 buy-in provide? This is a HUGE SEC Red Flag and seems to validate my concern of this being a pay-to-play scam, not a legitimate MLM.
Well this call does confirm the corporate office is closed and moving to…
Cyprus is a well know offshore tax haven. SO,if the US comes after TVI Express or anyone else for that matter, the money is safe. By the way TVI Express has their bank account in Cyprus already. Located in the UK, but they do they banking in Cyprus.
1. Where is TVI Express incorporated? UK, India, Cyprus, China? Where do you go if you have legal issues?
2. Why are their servers based in the USA, their HQ was in London, and yet they seemed launched in India and China before anywhere else?
3. Why is the only TVI Express site in English? English may be a second language for some folks, but if you are blowing the doors off in India and China, why English? Why is there not any other sites in other language? Or even a translation button on the website?
Folks all of you who read this or are a part of TVI Express are adults, you get to decide what you want to do. I just hope you do not lead people down a path, which they and you can't return from.
Here is the whole call.
Living An Epic Adventure,

On Facebook, John Michael Colón shared this translation of Karl Karus's "Here in This Land":
Here in this land no one is deemed absurdGoogling for more about it, I found another take:
but who should speak the truth. And all defenseless
he stands before the sneering, grinning herd,
which holds a sense of honor senseless.
Here in this land, where God is bought and sold
and manhood is pursued with execration,
all infamy is coined to purest gold
and lords it high in honor's station.
Here in this land you run a gauntlet's lane
of cut-purses who fervently despise you
and either get your purse by some chicane
or pat your back to show they prize you.
Here in this land, whatever be your boast,
you are not the master of your own decision.
The pest of greed obtrudes by every post,
effectively to blight your vision.
Here in this land you beat the empty air
as you denounce one evil or another,
and every grinning rascal debonair
in this land hails you as his brother.
Here in this land no one gets ridicule
but he who tells the truth. He then must stand
defenseless and attract some smirking, cool
disdain. Nothing dishonors in this land.
Here in this land a person's wickedness,
which elsewhere would lead straight to prison's door,
mints him pure gold, brings glory and success,
and garners honor for him evermore.
Here in this land a gauntlet you must run
of petty thieves with deep contempt for you,
who wish to steal your purse and, when it's done,
will try to win, besides, your handshake too.
Here in this land you never will find rest
when fleeing from contaminated schemes,
for to your house the post comes like the pest
and mercilessly kills your pleasant dreams.
Here in this land you strike an idle blow
if you attempt to hit this wily band,
and every knave will grin and let you know
you're his compatriot here in this land.

UBS rolled out the latest addition to its rapidly-expanding suite of MLP products on Wednesday, launching the E-TRACS 1x Monthly Short Alerian MLP Infrastructure Total Return ETN (MLPS). The new exchange-traded note is designed to provide short exposure to the MLP Infrastructure market by tracking the inverse performance of the Alerian MLP Infrastructure Total Return Index, a benchmark that consists of approximately 25 MLP firms. As the name of the fund suggests, MLPS will reset exposure on a monthly basis; the majority of inverse ETFs available to U.S. investors reset exposure daily.
The index to which MLPS will be linked is already used by two existing MLP products, including the E-TRACS Alerian MLP Infrastructure ETN (MLPI) and the recently-launched ALPS Alerian MLP ETF (AMLP). The new inverse ETN will be the fourth MLP product from UBS, joining MLPI, the Alerian Natural Gas MLP (MLPG) and 2x Monthly Leveraged Long Alerian MLP Infrastructure (MLPL).
The development of the ETF industry has resulted in a surge of interest in a corner of the domestic energy market that was often overlooked by investors. MLPs generally own and operate assets used in the transport of energy commodities throughout the U.S., such as oil and gas pipelines. The revenues of these entities depend on demand for oil and gas, which tends to exhibit less volatility than energy commodity prices. As such–and because they are treated as pass-through entities for tax purposes–MLPs in the energy infrastructure industry have historically delivered impressive distributions on a consistent basis. With interest rates hovering near record lows–and expected to remain there for the foreseeable future–investors have been forced to get creative in their hunt for current returns. For many, that search has led to MLPs, where yields can approach 7%.
The ETN wrapper has proven to be an efficient vehicle for achieving exposure to the MLP sector; because the coupon payments associated with the ETN are reported as ordinary income on a Form 1099; many of the administrative headaches associated with investing in MLPs (i.e., K-1s) are avoided [see Guide To MLP ETFs].
Cause For Concern?
Although many investors have been pleased with the returns delivered by MLP investments, there are some concerns that the industry faces challenging times ahead. The recent rupture of a major oil pipeline outside Chicago will require some $60 million in clean-up costs, before the consideration of any penalties likely to be handed down. Earlier this month, a pipeline under a warehouse in Romeoville, Illinois burst, causing about 250,000 gallons of crude to spill into the surrounding land. Shutting down the leaking pipeline cut off a major source of Canadian crude for much of the Midwest.
Though the compromised pipeline is expected to be reopened after less than a month of downtime, the incident raised some concerns among investors about the stability of the domestic energy infrastructure. The Chicagoland leak was the second major leak in a pipeline owned by Enbridge–which makes up about 5% of the index to which MLPS is linked–in the last several months. In fact, Enbridge alone reported 89 spills in 2009, with 12 of those spilling more than 42,000 gallons of oil. That raised concerns that aging pipelines throughout the U.S. and Canada may be in need of refurbishment that could reduce cash distributions to investors. For investors worried about the outlook for the MLP sector, the new ETN from UBS could be appealing as a means of establishing short exposure [see Do You Need An MLP ETN?].

German Village Veterinary Hospital offers microchipping for cats and dogs in Columbus, Ohio and surrounding areas. A microchip is an identification tool to help you and your pet find his/her way home if ever lost. The chip is about the size of a grain of rice and is implanted under the skin, between your pet's shoulder blades. It is implanted via injection, very similar to a vaccine and each one has its own unique identification number.
A common misconception about microchips is that they work as a GPS device. This is not the case. However, if your dog or cat ever becomes lost, veterinary hospitals, rescue groups, and shelters will scan him/her with a microchip scanner and it will display to them your pet's microchip number. We are then able to look up the microchip number and can trace the number back to you. You are promptly contacted and reunited with your pet.
At our hospital we use the HomeAgain brand of microchip. With registration you will also get benefits such as 24 hour emergency hotline, lost pet alerts, along with other perks. Call German Village Veterinary Hospital today for pet microchipping services in the Columbus, Ohio area.

Lawrence Talbot (Benicio Del Toro) confronts his father, Sir John Talbot (Anthony Hopkins).
Universal Studios resurrects the classic lycanthrope with this tale of a man who experiences an unsettling transformation after he returns to his ancestral home in Victorian-era Great Britain and gets attacked by a rampaging werewolf. When Ben Talbot (Simon Merrells) vanishes into thin air, his brother Lawrence (Benicio Del Toro) returns to his family estate to investigate. Upon reuniting with his estranged father, Sir John Talbot (Anthony Hopkins), however, he discovers a destiny far darker than his blackest nightmares. Ben is dead; the victim of a savage attack by a beast that keeps the superstitious locals cowering in fear every time the moon shines bright in the sky. Shortly after discovering his brother's true fate, Lawrence swears to Ben's wife, Gwen (Emily Blunt), that he will bring her late husband's killer to justice. As a young boy, the untimely death of his mother caused Lawrence to grow up before his time. Though Lawrence had previously attempted to bury his pain in the past by leaving the quiet Victorian hamlet of Blackmoor behind, he discovers that you can't outrun fate when he's attacked by the very same nocturnal beast that claimed his brother. Not even recently arrived Scotland Yard inspector Aberline (Hugo Weaving) can dream up a rational explanation for the gruesome spell cast over Blackmoor, yet rumors of an ancient curse persist. According to legend, the afflicted will experience a horrific transformation by the light of the full moon. Now, the woman Talbot loves is in mortal danger, and in order to protect her he must venture into the moonlit woods and destroy the beast before it destroys her. But this isn't a typical hunt, because before the beast can be slain, a simple man will uncover a primal side of himself that he never knew existed. Screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker pens a film directed by Joe Johnston and featuring creature effects by special-effects makeup legend Rick Baker.

This is what's up for fall … according to industry veteran and creative advisor for Dolce & Gabbana The Makeup … Pat McGraath 🙂 Check out her Q&A:
How do you find the perfect red lip color for your skin tone?
The perfect red lipstick is all about undertones: those with an olive/yellow (warm) undertone to their skin should choose warmer orange-red lipsticks for the most flattering look, whereas women with pink/red (cool) undertones look best in cool, blue red shades.
Are there are guidelines to be aware of before trying out a hundred shades?
Makeup is all about having fun! With lipsticks it is all about experimentation, so try pale shades, brights and extreme darks until you find one that you love. If you're trying multiple shades one after the other, remember to remove the lipstick completely before trying another one on – you want to see that shade in its truest form, not with a hint of the previous shades coming through!
How can we make a matte lip look last—without getting super dry?
The special formulation of Dolce & Gabbana's Passion Duo range helps retain moisture in the lips and contains over 50% emollients, which makes it luxuriously moisturizing, perfect for lips affected by either cold or dry heat.
Another trick is to put the tiniest amount of foundation on your lips as a base before the lipstick, this helps your lip color to last longer and also helps prevent dryness.

Catholic Dictionary
The term originally used by the Fathers of the Church to identify the sacramental character conferred at baptism, confirmation, and orders. Literally it means a seal or identifying sign and describes the indelible and unlosable assimilation to Christ possessed by one who has the character. One is permanently and unalterably changed, so that nothing one ever does or becomes later on can eradicate this unique relationship to Christ.

Understand what a macro influencer is and the benefits of working with them
Influencer marketing is dominating the marketing industry! 86% of marketers used influencer marketing in 2017, and 2018 will no doubt be another record year. With more and more brands investing in influencer marketing, it's important you know the "buzz words" of the industry and the different types of influencers you can engage for your influencer marketing campaigns.
Influencers can be defined and grouped into three tiers - micro influencers, macro influencers and power influencers. As the influencers followers grow over time, they move from one tier to the next. We recently defined a micro influencer in this article and shared four reasons why they are the key to influencer marketing success. So, here we will dive into macro influencers to help you understand what a macro influencer is, and what the benefit of working with one is.
At Scrunch, we define a macro influencers as someone who has an audience within the follower range of 50,000 to 300,000 followers on a particular social media channel. Their content is usually high-quality and is comprised of a focussed passion or topic. Macro influencers also have a dedicated audience that has grown organically over time, and are on the trajectory to becoming a power influencer.
Here are four key benefits of working with macro influencers:
Well known in the local community
Macro influencers are typically well known in the local community - you can think about macro influencers as a "mini celebrity." Their followers and the local community might recognise them when they are out and about, but people outside of their city, state or country will not.
So, macro influencers are simply micro influencers who are more well known and more "famous" (for want of a better word). Keep in mind though, while macro influencers might be recognised on the street by their followers, they are not as "famous" as, and don't have the celebrity status of, power influencers.
Extensive Reach
Like micro influencers, macro influencers reach an extensive audience, so they reach a lot more consumers with each post than micro influencers can. Also, their reach is often not impacted or limited by social media algorithms that curate users feeds, so macro influencers and their content tends to reach a good portion of their audience and receive a good engagement. As reach and engagement are two important metrics in evaluating influencer marketing campaigns, it is important to work with influencers can drive both reach and engagement.
This is where macro influencers shine.
Broader audience
Macro influencers are more likely to have a broader audience than a micro influencer, and their audience is not so niche. That means, their audience will be made up of people from different locations, who are interested in different topics. Macro influencers tend to diversify their interests and cover a number of related topics, for example a health and fitness macro influencer might health and fitness, and brand out into other related areas like cooking and recipes, exercise, wellbeing, mindfulness and organic beauty products.
Relatively cost effective
Finally, macro influencers are cost effective in terms of the reach and value you receive for the investment. Their content is usually high-quality and produced on professional equipment, and they have really honed their message and tone of voice.
In saying that, macro influencers do require more budget than micro influencers so always consider your marketing budget first to ensure you can allocate funds and resources to working with macro influencers. If you can, then great, and if you can't micro influencers are still a really great option.
Macro influencers are undoubtedly valuable assets to your brand and can drive reach and engagement in high volumes, as well as sales, social media growth and brand awareness.

This week the first UK conference on the state and future of university presses has taken place, hosted at Liverpool University. Anthony Cond, Director of Liverpool University Press , shares his thoughts on the revival of the university press. This post was first published on the LSE Impact blog and the original can be viewed here.
As all good literary and film scholars will tell you the term 'redux' has multiple and subtly different meanings.
For some it connotes a new interpretation of an existing work, more literally the word means 'brought back, restored.'
Both are accurate descriptions of what is happening to the university press in the UK: it is no accident that this week will see a conference called The University Press Redux.
The university press enjoys a peculiar position: a publishing island atop a sea of academia, its insecurities are a mirror to the budgetary, utility and reputational concerns of the subjects and institution it serves.
Touch point
Presses report to senior university managers, librarians or university or quasi-university committees; their editorial boards are drawn from faculty, yet more faculty are engaged as series editors, authors and reviewers, and more still in the inevitable exchange of ideas that happens when an academic department and a scholarly publisher active in its discipline are in close proximity.
The university press is a touch point — above and beyond the author/purchaser/reader relationship with commercial publishers — between the academy's hopes and fears and the realities of the scholarly communication system.

Hiring a DJ for a Social Occasion
When you ask yourself what creates the atmosphere in a party, the answer in most cases is the music. Good music creates even greater vibes. It makes that one party your friend organises that always turns awful into an imaginable one. That's where DJ's step in. It's their job to get everything started. Cheap DJ hire are a growing trend, starting with the EDM music in the 70's and the popular techno and house genres of today, they've become only more and more popular.
Significance of a DJ
DJ's are the ones that deliver that music to you. You just can't imagine a party without them, and almost always the only way to get the thing started is getting a DJ. A good DJ for hire can replace an entire band. He has all of the instruments in just one or two devices, so a great way to save money on music is to hire one guy instead of hiring five different people whose entire work can be done by that one man.
Steady financial gain
Hiring a good DJ can be expensive, but think of it as an investment that will most definitely pay itself in the future if the guy is good enough. If the word is spread that your place has the best DJ in the city, attendance won't be a problem at all. Just keep hiring the same guy, and it will even get better by the minute. The techno music is steadily growing so you can only expect more and more people to start listening to it in the future, that's why using a cheap DJ hire company can never be a miss. More and more people every day try their luck in becoming a DJ, and that fact can only work for you! More DJ's mean a bigger competition, and it means you pay less for one, because they will be fighting for your spot.

I've never been one to drink a lot but when I do fancy something alcoholic, I'm often tempted by a glass of wine. Although I have this as a nice treat, when you consume liquids it's often easy to forget how bad they can be for you. A large glass of wine can be the equivalent of a slice of chocolate cake which makes you think a bit differently about what you are drinking. There will be occasions when it's nice to enjoy some wine, so having something that's not quite as bad for you is one less thing for you to worry about.
Slimline wine have created an entire range of zero sugar, zero carbs wine that is a world first. They are designed to be much healthier while not compromising the strength or taste of the wine. Made using "the finest grapes from the finest wine makers", this high-quality premium wine lets you enjoy a glass without feeling so guilty. The range can be enjoyed in Crisp White, Super Sparkling White & Pink and Really Red. Don't worry about this wine be healthier but weaker, as it still has a 10.5% ABV which is comparable to many wines out there already.
Having no sugars or carbs in the wine is a great benefit, and when you couple this with the fact that it's only 373 calories per bottle, it sounds even more appealing. Priced at £10.99 for the Sparkling White & Pink and £8.99 for the Really Red and Crisp White, you can pick them up on the Slimline Wine website. I can definitely see this wine being a popular choice, particularly for those who would like to enjoy a tipple but want to keep an eye on their intake. I'm by no means a wine connoisseur and I'm not too fussy about which wine I drink, but when I've been trying out the Crisp White wine, I have been pleasantly surprised by the taste as it didn't seem to be affected by being a zero sugar and zero carb wine. I think it would be worth giving this a try as a good way to help reduce the number of carbs and sugar you have without having to give up that glass of wine.

As posted on a Leadership Blog on Tributes to the Leadership of your Father, and as promised in my blog The Wisdom of my Mom and Dad…
My Dad was a successful, award-winning insurance sales manager for years in the 1960's-1970's. The company, due to its President W. Clement Stone, was a leader in positive thinking and affirmations before it became vogue – it was all about positive mental attitude. PMA baby, PMA.
Two of the books that the company gave out to its employees were by Mr. Stone – The Success System that Never Fails and Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude (co-author).
Mr. Stone also gave out William H. Danforth's book I Dare You, and the first thing that book does is to dare you to read it cover to cover – right now. I have my Dad's copy and my Grandfather's copy of that book, and the others.
W. Clement Stone sold his first insurance policy at age 16 and started his own agency and national sales organization by the time he was 20.
Like Mr. Stone, my Dad started working as a pre-teen.
Officially working that is. Dad had all sorts of entrepreneurial efforts as a young child growing up in rural Illinois. This included gathering corn cobs from where they were shelled at the grain elevator and selling them for starting fires in wood stoves. I learned my work ethic from my Dad, and this was a favorite story of mine growing up, still is.
Dad always tried to push harder. Dad's little red wagon held four bags of corn cobs, but one day he tried to fit five bags into his wagon. He went to the local blacksmith shop where he always had luck selling his corn cobs, pulling his little red wagon, loaded to the brim with his corn cobs. The shop was all the way on the far corner of town.
The whole way there, Dad struggled as his corn cobs kept falling off. Dad had to keep stopping to pick them up and put them back in his little red wagon. When Dad finally arrived at the blacksmith, utterly exhausted, with his little wagon in tow, the man said that he did not need any corn cobs today.
My Dad asked, No corn cobs? You don't need any corn cobs?
No, said the blacksmith.
Do you think my Dad said o.k. and left, shoulders slumped, pulling his little red wagon full of corn cobs?
Nope, not my Dad.
My Dad, ever-then the budding salesman, did not take no for an answer. He convinced the man that he indeed did need the corn cobs. You can guess what happened. The man bought all five bags!
Perseverance pays off – never give up.
By the way, back then? The going price was a nickel a bag.
When Dad worked for the insurance company, they also gave out songs to its employees. Every morning my Dad would sing the song "I Feel Healthy, Happy and Terrific," so much so that I even sing it to myself to this day. I used to sing it with him and still remember the smell of his shaving cream as I played in the hallway singing along with him while he shaved and got ready and motivated for the day.
My Dad was hiring folks who would work on pure commission, like him as a 100% commission sales manager. It was a tough job, with leads and literally driving around and going door to door. It required fortitude, perseverance and a strong work ethic. I was a lucky girl to have this example growing up. You can read in my blog post The Chosen Baby: One Little Girl's Story of Adoption on how lucky I am to have been adopted by my Mom and Dad.
My Dad interviewed a lot of potential candidates in his position as sales manager, and he always asked them two questions. If you met your quota by Wednesday or Thursday, what would you do for the rest of the week? He also asked them, what is your definition of character?
The winning candidate was someone who would keep working through the end of the week as hard as they did up until meeting their weekly quota, and would not hit the golf course because they already had met their weekly goal.
I always have asked that same question to applicants who have applied to work in my department in my gigs.
I still remember Dad's office in the basement. I remember his desk. All the insurance leads binders with the brown leather binders and big rings. I used to play with the binder rings and loved to play with all his trophies. I can see and hear my Dad making calls late into the night and having sales meetings with his sales team on the phone and coming over to meet with him as I quietly sneaked down the basement steps to listen and watch. I remember his green chair that I loved to sit in when he wasn't already in it working.
I can smell it, taste it and feel the air. There was a lot of energy in the air, created by a lot of self-motivation and hard work.
My Dad led by example. Still does.
It's all about the definition of character. And character defines my Dad.
My Dad went to work in maintenance at a school district in the 1980's-1990's. One day, an immigrant refugee from a war-torn country in Eastern Europe started work. On the man's first day, my Dad told him "you come to work every day, no matter what." He sure did listen to my Dad! When his supervisor asked the man why he came to work after having serious dental work done one day, the man told his supervisor that my Dad told him "come to work every day." He was as hard working as my father.
Dad took this man under his wing at work and also helped his family generally get their feet off the ground, as he did several others. He also helped others to get jobs at the school district, and it is so humbling to see what great things their families have done since they emigrated here.
To this day, this man's family invites my Mom and Dad to everything to thank my Dad for his help getting them started. And all of them were at my parents' 50th wedding anniversary – wild horses could not have dragged them away.
My parents taught me to work hard and always give back. It's all about character and the rest will come. Without character, the rest does not matter.
You can do anything you want to do if you put your mind to it, know yourself and live your life with character. I use these lessons daily in my life. Thanks, Dad!

Dropbox SDK for PHP 5.3+
A PHP library to access Dropbox's HTTP-based API.
License: MIT
- PHP 5.3+, with 64-bit integers.
- PHP cURL extension with SSL enabled (it's usually built-in).
If you're using Composer for your project's dependencies, add the following to your "composer.json":
"require": {
"dropbox/dropbox-sdk": "1.1.*"
If you're not using Composer, download the code, copy the "lib/" folder into your project somewhere, and include the "lib/Dropbox/autoload.php" in your code. For example, if you copied the "lib/" and named it "dropbox-sdk/", you would do:
// Do this only if you're not using a global autoloader (such as Composer's).
require_once "dropbox-sdk/Dropbox/autoload.php";
Get a Dropbox API key
You need a Dropbox API key to make API requests.
- Go to: https://dropbox.com/developers/apps
- If you've already registered an app, click on the "Options" link to see the app's API key and secret.
- Otherwise, click "Create an app" to register an app. Choose "Full Dropbox" or "App Folder" depending on your needs.
Save the API key to a JSON file called, say, "test.app":
"key": "Your Dropbox API app key",
"secret": "Your Dropbox API app secret"
Using the Dropbox API
Before your app can access a Dropbox user's files, the user must authorize your application using OAuth 2. Successfully completing this authorization flow gives you an access token for the user's Dropbox account, which grants you the ability to make Dropbox API calls to access their files.
- Authorization example for a simple web app: Web File Browser example
- Authorization example for a command-line tool: Command-Line Authorization example
Once you have an access token, create a
Client and start making API calls.
You only need to perform the authorization process once per user. Once you have an access token for a user, save it somewhere persistent, like in a database. The next time that user visits your app, you can skip the authorization process and go straight to making API calls.
Running the Examples and Tests
- Download this repository.
- Save your Dropbox API key in a file called "test.app". See: Get a Dropbox API key, above.
This example runs through the OAuth 2 authorization flow.
./examples/authorize.php test.app test.auth
This produces a file named "test.auth" that has the access token. This file can passed in to the other examples.
A trivial example that calls the /account/info API endpoint.
./examples/account-info.php test.auth
(You must first generate "test.auth" using the "authorize" example above.)
A tiny web app that runs through the OAuth 2 authorization flow and then uses Dropbox API calls to let the user browse their Dropbox files. You need PHP 5.4+ to run it.
Prerequisite: In the Dropbox API app configuration console, you need to add "http://localhost:5000/dropbox-auth-finish" to the list of allowed redirect URIs.
cp test.app examples/web-file-browser.app
php -S localhost:5000 examples/web-file-browser.php # requires PHP 5.4+
Running the Tests
- run:
composer install --devto download the dependencies. (You'll need Composer.)
- Put an "auth info" file in "test/test.auth". (You can generate "test/test.auth" using the "authorize.php" example script.)
./vendor/bin/phpunit test/

You Only Get One
A downloadable game
You Only Get One is an exploration of the role of the stepfather in families where a biological parent has left and created an absense. Walk around a life, experience issues, watch them resolve and consider what makes someone a father.
Made in the space of a single afternoon, the experience is around five minutes long.
This game is for Ken. Thanks for being the greatest father I could ever have hoped for.
You Only Get One is free. Like it? Buy me a drink or some junk food with a donation.
"You have a talent at telling a story. I like how the isolation of being in one room at the beginning with nothing happening apart from wandering around and seeing time tick by captures the emotion of the moment, the feeling of hope from the child and the belief he has that one of his parents will keep his promise" - Steven Williamson (PlayStation Universe)
"I played through You Only Get One and I loved it. To be perfectly fair, I was surprised to find myself more emotionally impacted than I would have initially expected, which I attribute in equal measure to the subject matter at hand and your gift as a writer. Kudos... In short, your game was gorgeously realized. It got me thinking, which is more than I can say for most titles. It hit home at a level that surprised me and affected me. And you did it in a day" - Jason Short

🥇 The 5 Best Book Lights for Reading in Bed 2020 Reviews
While many people have moved on to lighted tablets you simply can't beat the smell and feel of a real book. A lot of the time the only available option is to sit and read at the end of the day when you want to wind down.
But when your partner is sleeping keeping the light on can be disturbing and trying to read with a flashlight is impossible.
If you're not ready to switch over to an eReader then you need something that lets you see properly without lighting the whole room and disturbing your partner.
While page light readers look awesome they very rarely provide enough light to see the page and they are specific to paperback or hardback only. Clip-on lights might look basic but they provide a better reading experience overall.
Here Are Our Top 5 Best Book Lights For Reading In Bed (And Reviews) In 2020:
1. Rechargeable Book Light (Best Book Light)
2. LuminoLite Extra Bright Book Light (Best Budget)
3. CeSunlight Reading Light (Best Flexibility)
4. TOZO Reading Light (Best Premium Light)
5. Kootek Portable Reading Light
Rechargeable Reading Lamp for Bed and Music Stand
LuminoLite Rechargeable Extra Bright LED Book Light
CeSunlight Rechargeable LED
With an option to have one or two arms you can make your page as bright as you need it. This is a cheap light for the price and it allows for three different light settings as well.
It's charged via USB so you never have to worry about replacing batteries.
The gooseneck arms can be positioned to suit you so that they're not in the way and the clip has rubber on both contact points so it won't slip or damage your book.
It has a 1000mAh battery with a charging indicator and 2m cable so you can have it plugged in while using it. It charges quickly and lasts anywhere from 2.7 to 20 hours.
It uses cool light LEDs which help to reduce eye strain, though you can also get a warm version too which is less harsh.
- 2 or 1 arm design
- USB Rechargeable
- 4 light levels
- Up to 20 Hours Battery
- Battery indicator
Lightweight enough not to weigh your book down this will also clip onto your headboard so you can read without having it in your face.
The clip opens to approximately 2" wide. The lens cover is frosted to soften the light so it's not so glaring while still providing the same amount of light as exposed LEDs.
The four levels of light add convenience and help prevent you getting eye strain from reading in dim light.
The USB is a mini-USB which isn't a standard shape anymore. There's not a lot of bad to say about this light at all, it's simple and functional.
Unless it's at the brightest setting you will see the shape of the lights on your page with a dimmer area between them but the page is still bright.
2. LuminoLite Rechargeable Extra Bright LED Book Light
Our Rating
This is the bestseller of the group and it's been featured in several publications. It's very similar to the Rechargeable Lamp but it's only got a single gooseneck design.
It's also charged by USB and has three power modes for the 1000mAh battery.
There are 4 LED lights inside the bulb that last up to 10 hours on a single charge giving 28 lumens of light.
It has a padded clamp to prevent damage to your book or headboard which opens up to 1" and is lightweight. There's also a 30-day money back guarantee.
- Up to 10 hours battery
- 1 arm design
- 2 light levels
- USB rechargeable
- Padded clamp
While this is similar to the Rechargeable but with fewer features, the quality of the built is slightly better.
It has the same number of LEDs but does not have the hotspot issue of shadows on the page from them not being as bright. It gives a brighter light and while it only has two settings they should work for everyone.
This has less of everything than the Rechargeable, less battery, fewer arms, fewer settings, even less of an opening for you to clip it onto things.
The single arm also doesn't light as much of the page and it's not wide enough to clip onto the headboard so it has to be attached to the book.
Despite being the cheapest light it has the most LEDs and with two arms this can light up both pages of your book at the same time.
Each arm can be controlled independently so you can have one page dimmer until you're ready to read it. This has the same 1000mAh battery as the others but it also has a protective circuit to prevent it overheating.
It only takes 2 hours to fully charge which is the quickest of all. It's light like the others and also charges via USB. Both arms are on adjustable goosenecks and the clip will open to about an inch.
The clamp is also padded to protect your book or whatever you clip to.
- 2 Hours Quick Charge
- 2arms
- USB Rechargeable
- Padded Clamp
- Dimmable
For half the price of the other lights this is just as good and gives you the best of both worlds. The battery life is close to 20 hours and it charges very quickly in comparison.
The light itself doesn't produce hot spots on the page and is bright enough to see clearly without lighting up the whole room and there are more settings than the LuminoLite for dimness.
It won't clip to a beveled surface and tends to slide down on a smooth one. The charging cable is unique to this light and it is not one you can get elsewhere or on its own so if something happens to the cord you won't be able to charge the light at all.
This is a large overhead lamp from TOZO that clips onto the headboard or onto the bedside table. It's significantly larger than those that clip onto the book directly and weighs 0.28kg.
It has a wide flat light and comes with an anti-skid base that can be used to stand alone or clip onto things. The design is a USB plug and has 3 brightness levels including reading and sleeping.
- USB Plug
- Wide Light
- 3 Color/Dim modes
- Anti-skid clip/base
For a lamp that is as good as a small desk light it's cheap and the spectrum of light is impressive since it goes from blue daylight through to a light yellow which helps promote sleep.
The neck is adjustable so you can angle it to work for you and away from anyone else who might be trying to sleep.
The controls have a bright blue LED indicator on them which is disturbing when you're trying to sleep. The clip is very stiff and the light itself is very bright even in the sleep mode.
It's tall and can stick out too much from the headboard even though it's adjustable.
There is also no pads or rubber stops on the clip so it can damage the wood. It's also not wireless and has to be plugged into a USB socket or adapter to work.
With a design that's similar to the TOZO but lighter this is smaller and rechargeable. It has 9 LEDs and 3 different power modes so you can use it while it's plugged into the AC or plug it into a USB socket.
There's a single button to control both power and brightness for 2 dimmer modes.
The clip works as an anti-skid stand as well as a wide clip for tables or headboards. It's a little thick to clip directly to a book.
The light is on a flexible gooseneck so you can direct it right at your book and the long bar design means that the light is even across both pages without hotspots.
There's also a slight shade around the light to prevent light getting out and going elsewhere.
- Flexible Neck
- Battery and AC option
- 2 Brightness settings
- Clip/Stand
It's a nice bright light and it's convenient to have a rechargeable battery option even if the life isn't impressively long.
The light is big and produces plenty of light and it's convenient that you can unplug it and keep going if you want to move without having to turn the light off and on again.
The gooseneck allows you to move the light around and the shade definitely helps keep the light on your book instead of the room.
You can't use it while it's charging as this damages the battery. It's not quite wide enough for some larger books and it's almost overkill for small paperbacks.
It's quite tough to choose one of these, they have such different designs and perform much the same function.
The Kootek is certainly the most versatile but the Tozo provides a better selection of light, even if it has to stay plugged in.
If you want something that's small and definitely won't disturb your partner then the GRDE is the best book light for reading in bed since it's small and simple.
Here are our top 5 Best Book Lights For Reading In Bed:
- Rechargeable Reading Lamp for Bed and Music Stand
- LuminoLite Rechargeable Extra Bright LED Book Light
- CeSunlight Rechargeable LED
- TOZO Reading Lamp Clip
- Kootek Portable Clip on Rechargeable 9 LED Light

Facial symmetry is the degree to which the features on each side of the human face line up and match in both size and orientation. The symmetry of one's face has a number of implications, including aesthetic and overall healthiness. It is part of the larger field of human body symmetry, which is believed to play a role in how people determine attractiveness.
In a basic sense, facial symmetry is literally how closely the size, angle, and location of one's eyes, ears, nostrils, cheeks and other duplicated features mirror each other on the left and right sides. It is very rare for both eyes, for example, to be exactly the same size or distance above the nose. Most people do not consciously notice common, minor asymmetry.
Scientists believe that facial symmetry is one of a number of physiological traits that subtly influence attractiveness. Others include perceived youthfulness and similarity to the norm, known as averageness. Each of these elements indicate on a biological scale an individual's suitability for reproducing. Uniquely among humans, attractiveness is not limited to these factors, and exceptions abound.
Although facial symmetry is governed to a large degree by heredity and genetics, there are other factors that can affect the orientation of one's features. Diseases such as Bell's palsy might cause muscular atrophy in the face, leading to asymmetry. In addition, birth defects or trauma such as mandibular condylar hypoplasia can affect the orientation of facial features.
Various types of cancer also might affect facial symmetry, sometimes drastically. Oral cancer, in particular, routinely requires amputation of part or all of the jaw bone. This procedure has a profound effect on the shape of the face and how its features line up. Prosthetic jaws are commonly prescribed to help return a large degree of symmetry to the face.
Changes in facial symmetry also typically occur following a stroke. Unlike a genetic defect in which the face develops asymmetrically from birth, a stroke victim might suffer nerve or muscle damage that causes one half of the face to be paralyzed. As a result, its features droop and become asymmetrical.
Facial symmetry, whether compromised naturally or through trauma such as a car accident, can be improved to a degree through plastic surgery. Science cannot greatly alter the intrinsic bone structure of the human skull, but there are a variety of procedures, from the mild to the extreme, that can actually improve symmetry or at least give the impression of greater symmetry. Even a stroke victim, through physical therapy, can regain muscular control of the face, leading to renewed facial symmetry.
Post 3
Is it hereditary?
Post 2
Good points Talentryto. I don't think facial asymmetry is very noticeable in the first place, so why worry about it.
Post 1
For people who are concerned about their appearance and how face symmetry affects it, it's important not to worry to much about it. While facial symmetry and attractiveness go together, it is also very rare in nature. Many beautiful people have asymmetrical faces.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!
