Saving energy is probably the most important thing you can do for the environment.
The Efergy Energy Saving Meter has been developed to make it easy for you to measure and understand the amount of electricity you are using.
It makes an ideal Christmas present or birthday present for those concerned about their energy consumption. The monitor records electricity consumption and converts it into a monetary value, based on the cost price of your electricity.
This is recorded by day, week and month, and updates every six seconds, so you can easily see the cost of turning on the TV or making a cup of coffee.
Data is stored in the internal memory, and past data can be seen by scrolling through the records.

Make up trends for summer 2016
Glowing skin a natural glow and matte lips conquer the podium again. Residual and Michael Kors cost and without a blush, but darken the outer part of the upper eyelid. And, of course, what a magnificent natural onion without broad brow?
Drawn to the temple arrows beat almost every fashion brand. Minimalist options offered Coach and Max Mara. The right to assert a broad line A Detacher, Chanel, Narciso Rodriguez, and Versace. The double arrows showed Thierry Mugler.
This model is remembered not only for its fragility, but trusting and open look, exaggerated eyelashes length. Although the fashion police are skeptical about false lashes, some brands (eg, Rachel Zoe) still use them. Daks and others recommend not forgetting about the liner. Basically, the lips remain in the shadows emphasize the eyes, but you can choose a classic like red lipstick. Example looks at Blugirl.
All we need to know – dark eye make-up in fashion again. The choice depends on my mood: it can be translucent gray or chocolate shades coal broad strokes up to the eyebrows. You want something mystical? Draw inspiration from Burberry Prorsum.
As we hinted at the beginning, trendy makeup in 2016 may be extreme. The liner is useful to create an unusual "frame" around the eyes, like DKNY, to create the image of "bad girl" as Marc by Marc Jacobs, or fantasize on Egyptian queens like Jean Pierre Braganza. Every line has a meaning.
It is hard to imagine any season without bows with red lips, make-up and 2016 will be no exception. The bottom line is that red lipstick is well combined with both a natural eye make-up and purple hues with translucent shades. Julien Macdonald offers the duo of red lips with a manicure in tone, but most designers do not follow this rule.

Sacked chief executive officer of popular television news channel TV9 V Ravi Prakash on Wednesday could not get anticipatory bail from the high court to avoid being arrested by the Hyderabad police in connection with the forgery and criminal conspiracy case filed by the channel's new management.
The court said it was too early for Ravi Prakash to seek the bail and if really thinks he could be arrested, he could approach the court again.
It would mean Ravi Prakash is now compelled to appear before the police for questioning with regard to the notice issued to him under Section 41-A of criminal procedure code.
Interestingly, even as the Hyderabad police said they were on the lookout for Ravi Prakash who is said to be underground, his interviews appeared in two media houses: One in Hindustan Times and another in popular digital media – The News Minute. Apparently, he gave interviews to both the media while being underground.
In the interviews, Ravi Prakash cried foul over the way My Home Group headed by J Rameshwar Rao, who has the backing of the powers-that-be in Telangana, made a backdoor entry into the Associated Broadcasting Company Private Limited (ABCL) by buying majority stakes in Alanda Media and Entertainment Limited.
Stating that he had never stopped the majority stakeholders taking over the management, Ravi Prakash said what he had objected to was the breach of original agreement that he would be continued as the CEO of the channel and the promoters would not interfere in the day-to-day operations of the channel, including content management.
"But the moment Rameshwara Rao and his men managed to get the majority shares, they started dictating terms to the staff over what to telecast and what not to, and since I had resisted them strongly, they forced me go out of the channel on the pretext on non-performance," he lamented.
He wondered how turning around the company as a no. 1 channel in the regional news segment and a profitable venture with a turnover of Rs 255 crore could be called a non-performance.
He vowed to fight out the builders and contractors' lobby in the journalism.

by Capital Bureau Chief Marc Kovac
Gary Allan Betz is getting out of prison this summer after serving nearly 30 years for murder. James Teague, also convicted of murder, and Clyde Beck, a child rapist, aren't.
All three, via legal counsel, appeared before the state's parole board recently.
They all had friends and family on hand while their attorneys argued for early releases (victims' families and friends offered convincing testimony to the contrary).
They also all, apparently, have medical conditions their lawyers thought important enough to mention publicly in support of parole.
The brief disclosure during last week's hearings are probably the only way average Ohioans (including potential neighbors to parolees) can learn about the health of individual prisoners.
Medical records are among the documents exempted from public scrutiny in the state's Sunshine Laws -- even when they relate to convicted criminals whose doctor bills are paid by public funds.
Trumbull County Prosecutor Dennis Watkins questioned that policy while arguing against parole for Betz, Teague and Beck. He said information on inmates' medical conditions wasn't made available to his office prior to the hearings. And he raised an interesting question: Should such information, when related to murderers and rapists who are slated for release, be open for review, at least by the victims who have to argue against parole?
To be fair, there's a lot of information available about folks doing time in Ohio prisons. The Department of Rehabilitation and Correction maintains a Web site (www.drs.state.oh.us/offendersearch) with a user-friendly search system.
Type in a name and you see a prisoner's identification number, gender, race, birth date, admission date, offense(s), even a mug shot.
Want to know all the gruesome details behind the state's most heinous murders? It's there, on the same Web site, under the clemency report section.
The state also annually publishes a comprehensive report on activities at correctional institutions. The 2006 count, for example, disclosed overall statistics on the 46,839 offenders housed at 32 Ohio prisons and the 33,466 being supervised by seven adult parole authorities.
It cost more than $1.4 billion to run the prisons and parole and community services operations of the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, according to the annual report. That total includes $167 million in medical services.
Translated, that's about $69.41 per inmate per day, according to the report. About half of that is for security, but $10.12 covers medical services.
And there is a mechanism in the department's records policy for physicians and attorneys to access medical records, if the inmate signs a written release and if a doctor or lawyer signs a written request for the documents. But the average Ohioan can't get that same information.
Teague, 56, was convicted of aggravated murder for killing a World War II veteran who was sitting at a table eating a sandwich. He's been in prison since 1976 and won't be up for parole again until 2017.
A lawyer told the parole board that Teague recently was diagnosed with hepatitis C and is slated to start a year's worth of treatment.
Beck, 57, was convicted of raping two young girls repeatedly in the late 1980s and will have to serve out the remainder of his 25-year sentence (he's been in more than 17 years and won't be released until 2014).
His lawyer told the parole board that Beck has suffered two heart attacks, with the second resulting in bypass surgery. Betz, 53, shot a man point blank in the face after robbing a tavern just before Christmas 1976 and is set to for release on or after July 16.
His attorney said Betz has an auto-immune deficiency that causes skin and joint problems and can eventually affect internal organs. Fifty percent of victims die within five years, he said.
"In a sense, he's been walking on egg shells and hoping that he makes it," the attorney said.
Now the rest of us will be walking on egg shells, hoping he doesn't re-offend.

NATO came to life as a defensive alliance to thwart Soviet communist expansion. Rather than declaring itself obsolete in the wake of the Soviet Union's collapse, however, NATO began to focus on new security challenges, including cyber-defense, terrorism and human trafficking. Yet Russia's intervention in Ukraine has partially revived NATO's original role. getAbstract recommends this dossier by the Lichtenstein-based Geopolitical Intelligence Services (GIS) to those seeking an overview of NATO's shifting challenges.

Synopsis: On the midseason premiere, the fallout from Rowan's desperate act affects all of Quinn's loved ones, including a guilt-ridden Olivia. (TVGuide)
Writers: Juan Carlos Fernandez
Director: Daryn Okada
Rating: TV-14
Running Time: 43 mins
"Robin" starts off with recapping us with the mid-season's big cliffhanger: is Quinn Perkins alive? Within minutes we are shown Rowan burning a faceless body in the trunk of a car. The next day David Rosen informs the team that the body they found was Quinn's and that the baby was lost as well. Mellie arrives and gives her sympathies, but not everyone at QPA is convinced it was really Quinn. And to be honest, neither am I.
Charlie decides he wants Quinn's ashes put into bullet cases so they can give her a proper sendoff. While QPA seems skeptical, Olivia agrees to his wishes. With everyone focused on the funeral and dealing with the loss, Huck takes matters into his own hands and does his own investigation into Quinn's kidnapping and death. He learns that Olivia was linked to it in some way and believes she is to blame for his friend's death. He goes to Abby and then Fitz for help, but neither of them prove to be useful.
The team continues to struggle with losing Quinn: Abby breaks down in front of David Rosen and Olivia gets drunk and goes to the office. Huck arrives at the office and for an instant debates shooting Olivia right then and there with his assumptions of her involvement, but he decides not to because death would be too easy for her. As the team prepares for her funeral, they join together in packing her ashes into the bullets. If Huck or Charlie hasn't taken one to save for a rainy day as a final victim for Quinn then this show isn't being properly written. That is something each of these characters would do for her.
The team meets up in the woods and share their memories of Quinn as they shoot off their bullets in her honour. While some are very heartfelt, others seem disconnected and unsympathetic. They continue their remembrance by drinking in her memory. However, when they call Olivia to bring some more booze, she doesn't answer and that causes Huck to become even more suspicious of his former boss. Turns out Olivia is over at Fitz's where she breaks down and wants comfort from her former flame. This again.
Meanwhile the b- and c- plots of this episode are very minor. Rowan has gotten his bones back, which is a win for him, but no one really cares to see him at this point. And Fenton and Cyrus have broken up because Fenton discovered that Charlie was B613 and Cyrus used to work with him. Fenton calls Cyrus a bad guy, but Cyrus explains that everyone is bad to some extent.
The episode ends with Charlie being unable to go home prompting David and Abby to offer to clean up the apartment. While tearing things down they find a USB drive. Could this be Quinn's drive from earlier? Meanwhile Charlie has no one else to turn to so he finds himself at Rowan's door, begging for his old life back, but he hears the piercing cry of a baby from inside. He rushes in and finds a baby girl in a crib and instinctively grabs Rowan by the throat and demands some answers. WHAT.
- Is Quinn really dead? My bet is no. She is not officially dead until she is not seen for the remainder of the season. The handling of her 'death' was a crime to the character. One of the most prominent characters cannot be killed off-screen and essentially forgotten. Nope.
- Is Quinn working with Rowan? Could Quinn have faked her own death to get closer to Olivia without her knowing? The baby being at Rowan's is the result of two things: She's working with him and had the baby, or she died in labour and Rowan was left with it. Hopefully it is the former.
- Will Fenton do something with his new information regarding Cyrus and B613 or will he prove to be a better man than Cyrus?
- Will Huck confront Olivia with his suspicions?
- Could Huck and Jake team up as they become increasingly skeptical of Olivia? Both have had issue with her, they just need to piece it together.
- Will Abby and David stay together for the remainder of the season?
Overall, this was an okay episode. The show loves to constantly play on its back and forth between characters, but at this point it's just overdone. Quinn's death would be a travesty if she was actually killed with no final appearance like most prominent character deaths in the Shondaland universe. While it was a monologue-heavy episode, it does try to redeem and humanize a lot of these characters which hopefully sets up a much better back-end to this final season. Right now I'm cautiously optimistic.
Score: 5.5/10

by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg; dir. Robert Jarman
Craig Wellington Productions and the Tasmanian Theatre Unit Trust
Theatre Royal, Hobart, Thursday October 8th (opening night)
Anica Boulanger-Mashberg
There's been an awful lot of talk lately, around the town, about a helicopter.
And fair enough, too. How could the Tasmanian Theatre Unit Trust possibly follow up on the smash hit that was their inaugural production, Les Misérables, just over a year ago? Clearly, the only answer was to find a show with even more spectacular staging requirements. And it's hard to go past helicopter-in-relatively-small-theatre when it comes to "spectacle".
So, Miss Saigon it is.
My advice is not to get too focussed on the helicopter. I'm not saying it isn't impressive. It is impressive (Broadway-gimmickyness notwithstanding). But, you see, if you spend too much time thinking about the helicopter, you may ignore much more important elements: primarily, the emotional and energetic commitment – both from principles and ensemble – which are matched with musical proficiency and confidence in this young cast.
Under the firm hand of Robert Jarman (ably augmented by Aaron Powell's musical direction, Mandy Lowrie's choreography, and indeed the rest of the production team's contributions), this Miss Saigon is bold, decisive, and powerful.
Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg's musical doesn't give us much time to settle in. From curtain up we're thrust into the love story of American GI Chris and new Vietnamese prostitute Kim, and also into a narrative of the Vietnam war: a story which assumes its audience already has a strong cultural back-story and understanding. Jarman and his company never lose this pace throughout, as event after event tumble out in song, and every single moment is deliberate. There's no room for feebleness here: even the love story seems fuelled by a youthful, hot fury and political frustration.
Both cast and orchestra are equal to the challenge of this sweeping work, although they were sometimes let down by the insistent amplification which tended to impair diction. Amplification seems a necessary evil, to achieve balance with such a strong instrumental contribution. And yet this theatre is so intimate, and most of these performers so competent and capable of projection -- evidenced by the occasional moments when the technology failed them!
The show is notoriously awkward to cast, with its Asian setting. Largely, Jarman's casting ignores racial demarcation (the only realistic option within Hobart's limited bank of performers). This is just one of those things we have to agree to suspend disbelief about. But it's such an important component of this narrative that I found myself constantly philosophising on the restrictions physicality poses on casting. Sometimes it was downright confusing, such as distinguishing whether characters were American or Vietnamese. But that's an unwinnable battle this time.
Tess Hansen (Kim) works hard at the centre of the cast, and is supported strongly by Scott Farrow's smooth performance as Chris, as well as by the other principles and a consistently tight and robust ensemble. Andrew Hickman warmed into his role as a rather Thénardier-ish Engineer; and Craig Wood is strong (sometimes a little too strong) as Thuy, the husband Kim's father had intended for her. All the principles could do with a little refining, such as in their emotional transitions, but this is bound to come with the season. If the opening night audience is anything to go by, reception will be wildly appreciative. Don't leave it til the last minute if you're planning to go; I don't imagine Miss Saigon will have any trouble selling out.

[Serial reports] Svanholm Story: Throw Greed Away and Find Happiness
Can you be happy if you can freely use only 20% of your income but have to share the rest with your community members? There are people who say "Yes" with no hesitation. Do you want to know who they are? If you open Google Maps and type this address(Svanholm Alle 2, 4050 Skibby, Denmark), you will find a small village surrounded by a forest of green trees. There are about 30 structures, small and large, including a 3-story apartment where 80 adults and 50 children live. This is the Svanholm community, which has been experimenting with economy-sharing and eco-friendly alternative life for the last 35 years.
During the 60-kilometer drive down to the southwest from Copenhagen to Svanholm, I could not find any trace of mountains. This is not surprising considering that the highest mountain in Denmark is just 173 meters tall. Just like the even landscape, the inequality index of Denmark looks very flat. According to recent OECD data, the income of the richest 10% in Denmark is 5.3 times that of the poorest 10%, the lowest among 35 countries. Compared to that of America, which is 15.9 times, you can grasp how narrow the gap is.
Even more equal is the Svanholm community, where the income gap between the haves and the have-nots is almost zero. There is no notion of the richest or the poorest, because 80% of an individual's income belongs to the community. Several questions arose in my mind as I was driving to the village and looking at endless flatland through the window. What kind of people can control the greed called individual possession in this market economy-oriented planet? Why have these Danes started experimenting with this kind of 'extremely sharing' community, even though they are living in one of the most equal and happiest countries? What makes them think that current Danish society is not good enough? What energizes them to dream of a 'perfect society'? So are they happy now?

Despite the developments in Australia, there's still a high level of discrimination in many parts of the county. The government passed an Extensive Anti-Discrimination proposal that tries to reduce all types of prejudism.
This desires to punish those who refuse to provide governmental, civil as well as social privileges; as well as those who refuse to provide basic right to schooling, right to employment, right to manage, right to manifestation; and, those who deny entry to services and goods like healthcare services, insurance coverage and comfortable housing that may include air conditioning installation regardless of societal stature.
Virtually any type of discrimination pose a threat to social security as well as financial advancement within the country. It truly is the desire of the governing bodies that by means of this proposal, prejudism would be eradicated.
The law tries to punish discriminatory routines according to age group, racial or cultural source, spiritual perception, politics or indictment, societal category, gender, and others as stipulated in the proposed bill. These discriminatory acts involve endorsing and stimulating dishonor, provoking hate or assault, imposing injury on health and wellness.
Virtually all government departments, privately owned businesses, and academic organizations are likewise required to ascertain applications and guidelines that will make sure prejudism and mistreatment are avoided.
Profound Social Instability had been pointed at as among the top global risks that get the highest issue in the next ten years to come. It is ranked as remarkably major or probably among the most tremendously interconnected dangers, and it is attaining dominance in awareness of probability and effect.
The financial dangers of lack of employment and underemployment also have elevated throughout probability and effect in the last couple of years.
Throughout the world, discrimination is still at high at large, even in the United States. Discrimination is bad because it sets people apart. It divides the nation so that unity is lost. When unity is lost there comes hardship in many areas of the country.

The thyroid and parathyroid glands are located in the front part of the base of your neck. These glands help regulate your energy levels, your body temperature, your weight, and your body's response to hormones.[1] X Research source Common thyroid problems include over- or underactive thyroid glands, thyroid cancer, and thyroid nodules. See a doctor to get any thyroid problems diagnosed correctly, and work with them to create a treatment plan. You can manage some thyroid problems by adjusting your diet and your lifestyle as well as by taking certain supplements and hormonal treatments.
Method 1 of 4:
Getting Medical Care
Method 1 of 4:
1See a doctor if you suspect a thyroid problem. Your doctor can run tests to determine if you have a thyroid problem, and if so, what kind. Make an appointment with your primary care physician if you have any common symptoms of thyroid disease, and let them know if there is a history of thyroid problems in your family. Common thyroid symptoms include:[2] X Research source
- Unexplained weight changes.
- Fatigue and trouble sleeping.
- Muscle weakness and tremors.
- Joint pain.
- Thinning hair.
- Changes in mood, such as depression or anxiety.
- Lumps or bulges in your throat, which may cause difficulty swallowing or changes in your voice.
2Make an appointment with a specialist. If you are diagnosed with a thyroid problem, your doctor may refer you to a thyroid specialist or endocrinologist.[3] X Research source A doctor who specializes in problems related to thyroid function can help you determine the course of treatment that works best for you.
- If you are diagnosed with thyroid cancer, you will need to work with an oncologist (someone who specializes in cancer) as well as a thyroid specialist.
3Take hormone medications for hypothyroidism. An underactive thyroid does not produce enough of the hormone thyroxine, or T4. This condition is called hypothyroidism. Your doctor may prescribe hormones to replace the ones that your thyroid is not producing. Your hormone levels will need to be tested regularly while you are on hormone therapy to make sure that your dosage is correct.[4] X Trustworthy Source Mayo Clinic Educational website from one of the world's leading hospitals Go to source
- People with hypothyroidism are frequently given a synthetic T4 hormone known as Levothyroxine. If your body doesn't process T4 correctly, you can also take synthetic T3, known as Liothyronine or Cytomel.
- Synthetic T3 is a good option for individuals who do not want to consume animal products or pork products.
- Thyroid hormones can be derived from animal sources, primarily pig. Talk to your doctor about hormones from animal sources, such as Armour, Erfa, and Nature-Throid, if you are concerned about using synthetic hormones.
4Consume the replacement hormones on an empty stomach. Your doctor should direct you to take your replacement thyroid hormones on an empty stomach to allow your body to absorb the thyroid properly. Avoid eating foods that contain too much dietary fiber while you are on thyroid medications.[5] X Trustworthy Source Mayo Clinic Educational website from one of the world's leading hospitals Go to source
5Ask your doctor about your options for treating hyperthyroidism. A variety of treatments are available for treating hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid gland). Work with your doctor to determine the treatment that will work best for you. Common treatments include:[6] X Trustworthy Source Mayo Clinic Educational website from one of the world's leading hospitals Go to source
- Radioactive iodine, taken orally. Radioactive iodine will shrink your thyroid and reduce symptoms over the course of several months.
- Anti-thyroid medications. These medications reduce the production of excess thyroid hormones. They may cause serious liver damage in some people.
- Beta blockers. These medications do not affect your thyroid directly, but can manage some of the dangerous or unpleasant symptoms caused by an overactive thyroid (such as rapid heart rate).
- Surgery to remove most of your thyroid. This method is typically used if you can't tolerate radioactive iodine or anti-thyroid medications.
6Explore treatment options for thyroid cancer. Fortunately, thyroid cancer is very treatable. However, it is important to treat it as quickly as possible. If your doctor suspects thyroid cancer, they may need to take a sample of tissue from your thyroid for testing. Your doctor may recommend a combination of treatments to make sure that the cancer is completely eliminated. Common treatments include:[7] X Trustworthy Source Mayo Clinic Educational website from one of the world's leading hospitals Go to source
- Surgery to remove some or all of the thyroid and other affected tissues (such as the lymph nodes in your neck).
- Hormone replacement therapy. This treatment is necessary if your thyroid has been removed.
- Oral radioactive iodine, to destroy any remaining thyroid tissue and cancer cells.
- External radiation therapy.
- Chemotherapy.
- Injections of alcohol into the cancerous tissue.
- Drugs designed to slow or stop cancer growth.
Method 2 of 4:
Taking Supplements for Hypothyroidism
Method 2 of 4:
1Get tested for vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Thyroid problems may be linked to various vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Ask your doctor to do bloodwork and determine if you are getting enough vitamins and minerals from your diet. If you have any deficiencies, your doctor may recommend adjusting your diet, taking supplements, or both.[8] X Research source
- Consult with your doctor or pharmacist if you are concerned about how supplements might interact with any medications you are taking.
2Take daily mineral supplements as advised by your doctor. If you are suffering from hypothyroidism, consider taking mineral supplements like selenium and zinc. These minerals can help your thyroid get the nutrients it needs to function properly. Look for high quality mineral supplements from health food stores or supplement stores, as this will ensure you are taking supplements that contain enough minerals.[9] X Research source
- Do not take mineral supplements without consulting your doctor first.
- Take selenium supplements, 200-400 mcg/day or as directed by your doctor.
- You can also take zinc supplements, 20-40 mg/day, and copper supplements, 4-5 mg/day, or at dosages suggested by your doctor.
- Although hypothyroidism is sometimes associated with iodine deficiency, most people can get enough iodine from their diet. Use iodized table salt, and look for bottled water with iodine in it.
3Take daily vitamin supplements as directed by your doctor. Your doctor may recommend that you integrate vitamin supplements into your daily routine to maintain your health and keep your energy levels up.[10] X Research source
- Fish oils are anti-inflammatory and can help to reduce auto-antibodies present in your body due to hypothyroidism. Take 2–3 grams (0.071–0.11 oz) of omega-3 fish oils every day.
- If you have a B-vitamin deficiency, your doctor may suggest taking 2-3 times the recommended daily amount of B-vitamins to help maintain high energy throughout the day.
- You can also take 1000-2000 IU of vitamin D a day, or more as recommended by your doctor if you have a vitamin D deficiency.
- You can take anti-oxidants like beta-carotene (3-6 mg/day), vitamin C (1000-3000 mg/day) and vitamin E (400-8000 IU/day).
4Use anti-inflammatory botanical supplements. You can also integrate botanical supplements into your diet or cook with botanicals to improve your thyroid function. For example, spices like turmeric, cayenne pepper, and ginger as well as healthy oils like olive oil can all be taken as supplements or used in cooking.
- You can also take natural supplements like Boswellia[11] X Trustworthy Source PubMed Central Journal archive from the U.S. National Institutes of Health Go to source , grape seed extract, green tea, and pycnogenol or Maritime Pine.[12] X Research source
Method 3 of 4:
Taking Supplements for Hyperthyroidism
Method 3 of 4:
1Avoid iodine in your diet if you have hypothyroidism. If you have hyperthyroidism, your body is producing too much of the thyroid hormone. Iodine can irritate your thyroid and cause health issues, so it is not recommended for individuals with hyperthyroidism.
2Take mineral supplements as directed by your doctor. You can take several mineral supplements once a day to help manage your hyperthyroidism, including:
- Selenium, 200-400 mcg/day
- Zinc, 20-40 mg/day
- Copper, 4-5 mg/day
- Calcium: This mineral can help prevent brittle, weak bones or osteoporosis, which are common complications of Graves disease. Graves disease is the most common form of hyperthyroidism.
3Take vitamin supplements. Start with a good, whole-food vitamin, which is derived from food rather than synthesized in a lab, and produced with very little processing. To be sure you are getting high-quality vitamins, look for products that have been verified by a third party, like USP, NSF, or ConsumerLab. Purchase your supplements from a reputable health food store. Helpful vitamin supplements include:
- 2-3 grams of omega-3 fish oils every day. If you have Graves disease, you should aim for 3-4 grams of fish oil a day.
- B-vitamins to increase your energy levels. Take two to three times the recommended daily amount of B-vitamins, or take the dose recommended by your doctor.
- Anti-oxidant vitamins, such as vitamin C (2000 mg/day), vitamin E (400-800 IU/day), l-carnitine (2-4 g/day), and CoQ10 (50-100 mg/day). I-carnitine has been shown to reduce thyroid hormone production in your body. CoQ10 has been shown to be low in individuals with hyperthyroidism.
4Add botanical supplements to your diet. Only take botanical supplements once you have consulted a qualified naturopathic physician. Several botanical supplements have been shown to block the production of thyroid hormones in your body, including:
- Lycopus spp (Bugleweed)[13] X Research source
- Lithospermum officinale[14] X Trustworthy Source PubMed Central Journal archive from the U.S. National Institutes of Health Go to source
- Melissa officinalis (Lemon balm)[15] X Research source
- Iris versicolor[16] X Research source
- Emblica officinalis (Indian gooseberry)[17] X Trustworthy Source PubMed Central Journal archive from the U.S. National Institutes of Health Go to source
Method 4 of 4:
Adjusting Your Diet and Your Lifestyle
Method 4 of 4:
1Maintain a whole-food, organic diet. Though it is not possible to cure your thyroid issues by adjusting your diet, changes to your diet can benefit your thyroid in positive ways. To maintain your health when you have thyroid issues, you should eat foods that are not processed or prepackaged, as they can contain additives and preservatives that can irritate your thyroid. Go for whole foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables as well as whole grain foods. Make sure all the produce you consume is organic, and preferably fresh or homemade.[18] X Research source
2Eat foods rich in iodine if you have an iodine deficiency. Integrate iodine-rich foods into your meals, such as seaweed, kelp, or canned fish, if you are iodine deficient due to your thyroid issues. However, you should not have more than 158 to 175 micrograms of kelp a day. Avoid taking kelp capsules or a surplus of kelp, as too much iodine in your system can cause issues.[19] X Research source
3Avoid foods that can reduce thyroid function if you are hypothyroid. If you have hypothyroid, where your thyroid is underactive, you should avoid or limit your consumption of certain foods that can affect your thyroid. Vegetables like cabbage, turnips, brussels sprouts, rutabagas, broccoli, cauliflower and bok choy can all interfere with your thyroid's ability to take in iodine.
- Do not eat soy products if you have hypothyroidism, as soy can hinder your body's ability to absorb hormones that can help your thyroid function properly.[20] X Research source
- You should also avoid cassava, a root vegetable popular in Caribbean cooking. Cassava is known to produce toxins that can slow down an underactive thyroid.[21] X Research source
- If you have hyperthyroidism, you should increase your intake of these vegetables, as they can help to counter an overactive thyroid.
4Do not drink alcohol or smoke tobacco products. These substances can have a negative effect on your thyroid. They may also interact badly with medications used to treat thyroid conditions.
- If you are not sure if the medications you are taking are safe for use while smoking or drinking alcohol, you should talk to your doctor.
5Talk to your doctor about any medications you are taking. Some medications, such as lithium, thionamides, Alpha Interferon, Interleukin-2, Cholestyramine, Perchlorate, expectorants, aluminum hydroxide, and Raloxifene, may interfere with thyroid function.[22] X Trustworthy Source PubMed Central Journal archive from the U.S. National Institutes of Health Go to source If you have thyroid problems and are taking any of these medications, talk to your doctor about your options. They may be able to adjust your dosage or prescribe a different medication that does not affect your thyroid.
- Never stop taking a prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
6Practice deep breathing to reduce stress. Stress can cause thyroid problems to get worse. Try to use one stress management technique, such as deep breathing, every day. Take a comfortable seated position in your chair or on the floor. Practice inhaling deeply through your nose for four counts and then exhaling through your nose for four counts.
- Deep breathing exercises can be done at home in a quiet, secluded area or at your desk with your office door closed.
- Try to deep breathe with your eyes closed and your body relaxed for five to ten minutes a day.
7Do yoga to reduce stress. You can do yoga poses that focus on relaxation, such as corpse posture, where you lay on your back with your eyes closed and your body relaxed. You can also take a relaxation yoga class, which will focus on poses that will encourage your body to de-stress.[23] X Research source
8Do 30 minutes of exercise a day. A moderate amount of cardio exercise is also recommended for individuals with thyroid issues. Squeeze in a 20-30 minute walk or jog one a day. You can also do 30 minutes of cardio machines at the gym.
- Exercising will help your body stay healthy and encourage your thyroid to function properly. Doing 30 minutes of exercise a day can also help your body to de-stress and allow you to burn off any feelings of anxiety.

Brokers is created and written by Aaron Ballard and Dano Madden, directed by Talya Klein, and produced by Aaron Ballard, Dano Madden, Talya Klein, Lauren Singerman, and Elizabeth V. Newman.
Ballard is a New York City-based actor, writer, and producer originally from South Carolina. She's performed in numerous plays, including Our Town and Lonesome West, as well as appeared in independent films and new media projects, but usually works independently. Her one-woman show about Victoria Woodhull premiered at The Women in Theatre Festival in 2016, and her award-winning short, Now, That's Cute, screened at several festivals, including the Chicago Comedy Film Festival. A SAG-AFTRA and Actors' Equity Association (AEA) member, Aaron studied acting at Rutgers University where she earned a Master of Fine Arts.
Aaron Ballard: I became inspired to write Brokers after working for a Manhattan real estate company for about a year. Like [the character] Ellen, I was pretty new to the city and needed a survival job. I found this real estate company that hired me right away, and I was god awful at it. I never made any money because I only got paid on commissions and I am not much of a wheeler dealer type so I failed. But I was introduced to a very specific, and strange world that I knew I wanted to write about.
KM: Why did you decide on a web series instead of a short film? And how did you begin to put your series together?
AB: When I got the idea for Brokers, I pretty much immediately knew I wanted it to be a web series. I knew I wanted it to be character driven and to have the real estate office be the kind of nucleus for the show and then have opportunities to see the brokers in action outside of the office. I think there is so much more of the world that can be explored, and an episodic format allows for that more than a short film does. I also just really like TV, and watching stories unfold and characters develop over several seasons is something I love.
After mulling over the idea for a few months, I went to Dano Madden, my co-writer, because he is a great playwright. I have a sketch comedy writing background so I knew I wanted someone who could help ground my jokes and ideas for characters in reality. We started meeting in bars to draft outlines. We would write episodes separately, and then exchange them and edit each other's work. We went through a bunch of drafts, and eventually we had a final script to shoot; I never really wanted to let it go, though. We were doing rewrites on set each day, which was fun because it felt like the script was living and breathing as we filmed.
KM: Have you found much web series community support or many connections with other web series creators? Is there a sense of mutual support?
AB: Yes! That's been really fun to meet other creators and to follow them on social media and to have them acknowledge and support what we're doing. There are a lot of web series out there, and if we can be each other's audience and inspiration, then I think we can help each other grow. Stareable is a site that is dedicated to being a landing page for various web series, and I appreciate the support they have given us and the community they are cultivating.

Next Level Anxiety
Lauren Maul's new web series Next Level Anxiety takes a look at contemporary social anxieties, but also incorporates a world beyond this one. A hybrid web series, Next Level Anxiety crosses the genres of sci-fi, comedy, and horror. The five-episode series will be available to watch on Vimeo and the series' website on October 30.
Next Level Anxiety is written by Katie Compa, Lauren Maul, Pushy Muldowney, Andrew Marzoni, Adriane Quinlan, Missy Wilkinson, Daniel Sears, and Jason Jude Hill; produced by MaulFace, LLC and GrumpyFilms, Inc.; and created and directed by Lauren Maul.
Maul has been making art in New York since 2011, with both a variety show (Bitchcraft) and a stand-up show featuring ladies and LGBTQ folks performing comedy as straight men (Dudes Being Dudes Being Dudes) created in 2013. In 2016, she created her production company, MaulFace, which produced the web series Amazon Reviews: The Musical (named by IndieWire as one of the best 16 web series in 2016). She performs and produces shows in New York City and discussed her new web series with me during a recent interview.
Lauren Maul: After the 2016 election I was experiencing way more anxiety than usual, so I decided to channel that anxious feeling into a creative project. I've always been drawn to comedy, but this time I wanted to add a dash of the terror and horror I was feeling, so I included elements from the spooky things that I enjoyed as a kid, like Goosebumps and The Twilight Zone.
Since I had such a specific vision for this series I felt like I needed to direct it. Directing is the one job that allows me to combine the empathy of a performer with the vision of a writer and the gall of a producer, and I love it! Next Level Anxiety is my first time film directing, but it definitely won't be my last.
KM: You have an inclusive cast across gender and ethnicity; was this a conscious choice to practice inclusion on screen? How did you put your cast together?
LM: My goal as an artist is to make art more accessible -- and a big part of that is making sure my projects showcase diversity in front of and behind the camera. (Also, when I watch TV or movies that consist of an all-white cast it feels kind of ominous, like, where is everybody else? I wanted the series to feel scary, but not THAT scary.)
I have three rules for casting which are: talent, diversity, and the ability to be chill enough to share a pizza with. If a person is all three of these things, I know working with them is gonna be awesome. All the actors I hired for this series are friends and acquaintances, and, magically, were the people I pictured when I first heard the scripts read out loud. This was literally my dream cast.
KM: You've stated that your series 'uses sci-fi/comedy/horror to embody the anxieties of our current social climate'. Can you describe how you've achieved this, and address what you hope viewers will come away with after watching the entire series?
LM: Next Level Anxiety includes little nuggets of real things that scare me, like apathy, global warming, and disappearing rights, but I wanted to present those things in an entertaining way. I wanted the audience to be scared, but not the whole time. I also wanted them to laugh, but not continuously. And I wanted them to have "WTF???" moments, but not be super confused. I feel like I achieved this spooky/funny/WTF? balance because when I watched the audience receive the series at the premiere, I heard them emit a variety of gasps, laughs, and "oooooh"s.
My goal with this series is to leave the audience feeling like the world is more magical/mysterious than it is scary/terrifying.

Cape May Brewing
At the southern tip of New Jersey, 3 hours and 15 minutes drive from home, lies Cape May, Cape May Airport and Cape May Brewing. (May I also recommend the Flight Deck Diner in the terminal?)
A cloudy gold glassful with a brief white head. The nose starts with really intriguing herbal notes from dill, rosemary and thyme. The flavor is of malt & herbs ending with spicy hops. 6.2 % ABV
Pours a very cloudy dark amber with a medium off white head. It smells like gingerbread, delicious warm gingerbread. You can practically chew it, with cake-like malt and spicy hops coming on. The finish is long, spicy and malty, dried out on the end by hops. To me, this is an autumn or winter beer, but I'll drink it in spring or any time. This was my first half-growler of the Beercation. 7.3% ABV
Honey Porter
Made with local New Jersey honeys, this is very dark brown in the glass with a pale tan head. The coffee nose is light and sweet. The flavor adds a little chocolate, more sweet with a nice hop bite. 5.4% ABV
Cape May IPA
Pours nearly clear light amber with a brief white head. Citrus earthy hops in the aroma, I think they mentioned Amarillo. The flavor is like hop hash, muddy and hoppy, good for hopheads (like me). The finish is not that bitter, the hops show mostly in aroma and flavor. 6.3% ABV
Pale gold with fluffy white head. Nice strong mixed hop aroma, some citrus some old fashioned earthy but apparently all from Centennial. Light slightly silky body with cracker malt overrun by hops plus a light sweetness. The hops power on into the finish leaving bitterness to savor. This is not for anyone afraid of hops! 8.0% ABV.
As a pilot, I was magnetically drawn to another feature of the airport, formerly Naval Air Station Wildwood, the NAS Wildwood Aviation Museum. In some alternate life I would have been a naval aviator, so this was amazing.
This is not a little museum, it has a great collection of aircraft dating from the 1930s through the present day.
I have flown (in) a Stearman, the famous WWII trainer called "The Yellow Peril" because you didn't know where a student pilot would crash one next.
Here is a Blue Angels Skyhawk II. I have a couple of hundred hours in Skyhawks…the Cessna Skyhawk, much less glamorous than this Navy bird.
And here is a Marine F-5 Tiger, still sporting the red star from its appearance as an enemy aircraft in the movie Top Gun. However, inside that red star is engraved the Marine emblem. I also have over a hundred hours in Tigers . . . the single engine, 4-seat piston sort.
An airport with a brewery, a diner, and an aviation museum? Why does it have to be so far away? But at last I achieved my dream of being a naval aviator.

Thirteen years after the iconic photo of his shooting helped spark the Second Intifada, Israel has issued a report finding that 12-year-old Muhammad Al-Durra was not killed by Israeli forces, and in fact might not even be dead. Yes. It says that. The new report, focusing on the infamous image of the terrified Muhammad huddling against his father amidst gunfire moments before he slumped to the ground, argues that the shooting was either staged or the fault of Palestinians and has long been unfairly used to justify terrorism and "the delegitimization of Israel." Muhammad is one of nearly 1,400 Palestinian children killed since 2000 as a result of the Israeli occupation. The latest travesty from Israel has sparked outrage from many, here and here. Muhammad's father Jamal's response struck at the broken heart of the matter.
"Israel says my son is not dead? Then let them bring him to me."

An additional entry, I clicked through to the Cowboy Festival page, and am now adding a second comment here — I like this year's poster.

Our kids like to put on their boots and cowboy hats and hop on top of their rodies chanting "we're cowboys in the wild wild west" (they're girls).
I'm thinking a cowboy festival would go over big. Thanks for the chance to win tickets!

We have always wanted to go to this one, but due to the high ticket value have never attended. There is a kids poetry contest (we didn't win those tix), where the winners recite their poetry Sunday. So if we don't win, we suggest you go on Sunday May 1 to see kids read/recite their winning poems.
April 19, 2011 at 8:23 am
I just went to the website to confirm that the Youth Poetry is on Sunday May 1 from 12:15 – 1:15 on the California Music Hall Stage.
Deadline for youth poetry submission was April 4th this year. Look out for entering next year (Tix are the prizes and a trophy for 1st, 2nd & 3rd in each age category).

Captain Cook, HI.
The legacy of slavery and, for much of history, the demographics of the USA have led to 'white vs black' being the central racial discussion. But as America grows more diverse and East and South Asian, Pacific Islander, Hispanic communities and white and black ethnic subgroups flourish, they challenge a dichotomous discussion of race. And where has American Indian history been in the racial discussion??

Mianus River Park to host wildlife center
STAMFORD -- The large red barn at Mianus River Park will be transformed from a dilapidated drinking hangout into a nature center focused on animal rehabilitation and educational services, city officials announced Monday.
The Wildlife Center of Fairfield County recently signed a 20-year lease with the city, which will spend $150,000 to renovate the 5,011-square-foot barn, likely built around 1900. The nonprofit will raise $4 million through private donations to launch the center, which could open in two years depending on fundraising, said co-founder Cathie Kovacs.
The WCFC's mission is to foster compassion and awareness for wildlife while caring for an estimated 4,500 wild animals annually. An employee will live in the barn, which is to provide hands-on opportunities for park visitors to interact with wildlife. The nature center will also partner with schools to provide educational opportunities, co-founder Heather Bernatchez said Monday.
"We will be serving all of Fairfield County and taking in injured and orphaned wildlife to rehabilitate them with skilled, trained staff," Bernatchez said. "We are here to take care of our wildlife and we are here to take care of our community."
Board of Representatives President Randy Skigen said the wildlife center represents a productive use of the park's iconic red barn, which in the past has attracted "kids and adults" who have used the vacant space to drink or use drugs, he said.
"It's rare in government these days that you're presented with a project that's a win-win," Skigen said. "This is a beautiful building, but it's fallen into disrepair."
Mayor Michael Pavia said Stamford residents will benefit from the wildlife center even though the city will not collect rent from the nonprofit. Residents will have a wildlife rescue and educational resource right in their neighborhood park, he said.
"There is tremendous value that the city of Stamford is getting by having this organization here," Pavia said.
More InformationTo learn more or donate, visit www.fairfieldcountywildlife.org
The Mianus River Park's barn is a relic of Stamford's farming past, said Renee Kahn, president of the Historic Neighborhood Preservation Program.
"It's architecturally significant and it used to be much more so," Kahn said. "At one time it had all this ornamentation in a Swiss-chalet style, which I've never seen in a Stamford barn. Very few really good barns remain. Most of them have been converted to garages and other things. This is fairly unique."
The Mianus River Park encompasses nearly 300 acres of riverside forest in Greenwich and Stamford. The 20-mile Mianus River begins in Bedford, N.Y., and ends in Long Island Sound after flowing through Cos Cob Harbor in Greenwich, according to the Friends of the Mianus Park River website. The river is a drinking source for about 150,000 people in lower Fairfield County and New York.

Tonight at 8:00, tune in to Fox for the 39th NAACP Image Awards telecast. This year, the theme is "Stand Up and Be Counted." According to the press release,
Wouldn't it be nice if every awards show encouraged such things? Susan Sarandon always gets played off when she tries to be political on the Oscars, and Kanye West was barely allowed to remember his mom on the Grammys this year.
Here are some of the nominees:
Can we just give S. Epatha Merkerson something right now? She's always so good, and so underappreciated.
Her are some of the movie nominees:
Jolie's nomination is quite interesting, considering the uproar — some people even said she was in "blackface."
In music, the Outstanding Female Artist Category is very impressive:
Keys and Blige are up for multiple awards, including Oustanding Song, Album and Video.
Other nominees include America's Next Top Model for Outstanding Reality Series, Persepolis for Outstanding Independent or Foreign Film, Shonda Rhimes for both Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice, Kasi Lemmons for Outstanding Directing for Talk to Me, and several greats in the literary categories, including Nikki Giovanni. And Edwidge Danticat, who I have always said has the coolest. name. ever.
And Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder will receive special awards.
This looks like it could be better than the Oscars this year. I'm already thinking of the Oscars as There Will Be Boredom.

A Long Beach man was sentenced to life in prison without parole Thursday for a string of rapes in 2016 that included two attacks where he kidnapped teenage girls at knifepoint in South Los Angeles, according to a court official.
Jurors convicted Samuel Alexander Vasquez, 31, in February on two counts of kidnapping, three counts of forcible rape, and one count each of forcible oral copulation and assault with a deadly weapon.
Vasquez's spree took place over the span of about a month, according to prosecutors.
On Sept. 27, 2016, he kidnapped a 16-year-old girl who was walking home near 75th and Figueroa streets and raped her in his car, authorities said.
Then, on Oct. 19, 2016, Vasquez picked up a 20-year-old woman who he sexually assaulted, according to authorities.
Finally, on Oct. 28, 2016, Vasquez kidnapped a 14-year-old girl near 70th and Flower streets before raping her as well, prosecutors said. He also threatened her with a knife and at one point tried to inject her with a syringe, prosecutors said.
Police arrested Vasquez the next month as he was leaving work in Long Beach.

After last week's pat on the back for those Hollywood stars who've got a real ear for the cadences of at least one of the many British dialects, here's the corresponding roll call of shame. Five actors, fine at the face work, good at the word-retention, and simply awful at the accents.
It should be stated, before we start, that the intention of this feature is not simply to point and giggle. If we don't weed out the duffers now, before you know it, everyone will be doing this:
Forrest Whitaker – The Crying Game
Everyone always rags on Don Cheadle in Ocean's 13 for having a weird accent, and rightly so, but his achievement as a salt-of-the-earth London criminal is as naught compared to Forrest's ham-tongued stab at a British soldier, captured in Northern Ireland. Were it not for the fact that there is another character in the film who starts off as one kind of a thing and ends up revealing themself to be something entirely different, Forrest's bizarre cod-Britishisms would perhaps stand out a little more. As it is, after the film's Big Reveal, it's tempting to wonder if he's about to tear his skin open, revealing some kind of German chimneysweep beneath.
Anne Hathaway – One Day
I like Anne Hathaway. I think she's really good at appearing warm and friendly on-screen and she's got a good grin. The fact that her accent is all over the place in One Day isn't really a disaster by any means. She essentially comes across as an American who likes to pronounce all of her consonants and has occasionally drunken vowels. Doesn't spoil the film, but then again, neither would it spoil it if she just WAS American and got all the weirdness out of the way.
Keanu Reeves – Bram Stoker's Dracula
Posh Brit is the accent all American thespians should be able to master. It's the same snooty accent that everyone does, think Blythe Danner in The Good Wife or Truman Capote at his most priggish, only bleached of all warmth and friendliness and with consonants you could sculpt marble with. It's as much a state of mind – aloof, frosty, with a broomstick spine – as it is an accent. Nevertheless, it is not a state of mind that Keanu appears to be able to master. He speaks like a man for whom words are just a list of unrelated noises that you have to remember in order.
Christian Slater – Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
The Brits bang on about Dick Van Dyke a lot, but it's not out of any malice towards the man himself. It's just that he set an unfortunate precedent for other American actors to follow. That's the only excuse I can think of for Christian's honking cockney barrowboy nonsense in Robin Hood. Mind you, he's caught between the devil and the deep. Surrounded by British character actors giving it the full yokel, and his fellow countryman, Kevin Costner, doesn't even bother trying. Mind you, there's a good reason for that. With Alan Rickman rolling his eyes and whooping it up as the evil English Sheriff of Nottingham, Kevin has to be the pure-hearted American hero, otherwise the film looks like the story of a little local trouble in olde Englande. That's his excuse, anyway.
Christopher Lambert – Highlander
I'll be honest, Christopher gets the nod over one worse Scots accent – Mel Gibson in Braveheart – and one of equal poorness – Robin Williams in Mrs Doubtfire – simply because he is surrounded by Scottish actors and STILL can't get it right. Here he is talking to Sean Connery, a man who can't do any other accent than Scottish, even when playing an Egyptian called (ahem) Juan Sánchez Villa-Lobos Ramírez, and poor Christopher is left with that furrowed brow of concentration and the hope that whatever his next line may be, it is kept mercifully short. Or to put it another way, his Connor (Macleod) could do with being a little more Connery-y.
What's the worst American accent you've heard from a British actor?
