How to Autoinstall Required Software after a Windows Reinstall
Anyone who has been using Windows for any length of time knows reinstalling it is unavoidable. Some people call technical help and some do it themselves. If you reinstall on your own, you know it takes a little time but the most annoying part of reinstalling Windows is that you have to reinstall all your software one by one all over again. Software like Firefox, Winamp, VLC and other indispensable programs that don't ship with Windows.
Windows Post-Install Wizard (no longer available) allows you to take care of such situations and automatically install all the software that you would like to install on a fresh install with a minimum of input. There are a few steps involved in getting it to work as we shall see:
- Download and extract the package to a location of your choice.
- Let's start by adding the applications you need to be installed, post-Windows installation. You must download the applications and save the setup inside the "WPI\Install" folder which can be found under the location where you extracted the contents of the download from step 1.
- Now run the WPI.hta file. This will launch a HTML application. Click on the config button to enter the configuration section. This is where we will build the script to install all the software that we require, automatically.
- Click on the 'add' button and fill in the appropriate details in the 'Description' tag at the bottom. Enter the name, description and install order. UUID gets filled automatically, choose "Default" if you want the current application to be included in the default set of apps available during installation. Choose a category under which the current application should appear, should the user want to choose the applications to install.
- Now hop over to the command tab. Click on the "Add" button towards the right. A command section appears at the bottom. Click on the folder icon to browse for the setup file. This will fill in the command section automatically with the required path. Now you need to add any switches that you want to run the installation program with. A common switch used in slipstreamed or unintended installs is the /s or /silent or -quiet switch. This suppresses all questions and proceeds with the default install of the application. You might have to search for the switches available for the particular application that you are working with!
- Add in any dependencies, in the 'Dependencies' tab. A common example is software that requires the .NET framework. In such cases you would not want to install software that depends on the .NET framework to be installed without the user checking the .NET framework entry first. Such conditions can be specified from within this tab.
- Select 'Save', add other applications or choose 'exit'.
Now that you have configured your script, next comes the task to include it on your Windows installation disc or as a standalone disc that you can run during the installation of the post installation after booting on to the desktop. WPI has plenty of options to help you achieve this, best of which (because its ready made) is the $oem$ folder that you can download from the WPI site and place it on your installation disc. This is the structure we are looking to achieve on your final installation disc:
With this done, use something like nlite, vlite or the MakeISO tool that you can download from the WPI download section to make the disc bootable. Pop it in and sit back and watch your system being configured according to your needs. WPI also offers advanced options you can use to customize the look of the installer and even playback some music while it's doing its thing!
Since you can run almost any command using WPI, it is also an excellent way to apply some tweaks that you had before formatting and you would like to include in the next install. It is always a good option to check your newly created disc on a virtual machine How to Install Windows 7 on a VirtualBox Virtual Machine Microsoft will soon stop support for Windows 7. One way of keeping it running is through a virtual machine with VirtualBox. Read More before you try to go all ballistic and format your computer. You might be able to find a quirk or two and fix them.

Is oil pulling just a health fad? Or could the traditional Ayurvedic therapy of oil pulling naturally improve thyroid health?
So what is oil pulling?
Oil pulling involves swishing oil around the mouth, and 'pulling' it between the teeth.
This Ayurvedic oral hygiene technique is used extensively in India to strengthen the teeth, gums and jaws, and to prevent tooth decay, bad breath, cracked lips, and a dry mouth.
Could Oil Pulling Naturally Improve Thyroid Health?
Nowadays, oil pulling is a popular preventative health practice. It's reputed to aid whole body detoxification, and general health.
And as we know, the body is a complex, integrated system so anything that's good for overall well-being is often beneficial for thyroid health.
The Surprising Link Between Oral Health and General Well-Being
'All disease begins in the gut.' – Hippocrates (460 -370 BC)
As I see it Hippocrates was right when you consider the gut is the entire digestive tract – from mouth through to colon. And just like your gut, your mouth has a complex microbiome.
What is the oral microbiome?
The human mouth harbors one of the most diverse mini-ecosystems in the human body. It's termed the oral microbiome, and it refers to the collection of microorganisms living together within the oral cavity. This includes viruses, fungi, protozoa, archaea, and bacteria.
The oral microbiome is finely tuned to protect the body from disease, and an imbalance is detrimental to WHOLE body health. In fact, powerful sequencing technologies are unraveling the complexities of the oral microbiome which is providing new insights into the important role the oral microbiome has on health and disease.
Turns out there's convincing research to show the health of the oral microbiome mirrors the health of the body.
Think of your mouth as the gatekeeper to your body. When your oral microbiome is thriving, you are thriving.
Given what we now know, the ancient healing technique of oil pulling may be a simple, cost-effective remedy to naturally optimize thyroid function.
Instructions On Oil Pulling (And Why Coconut Oil is My Go To Oil)
Oil pulling may sound a bit hippy, even woo woo. But devotees are convinced of the benefits.
If you are curious about oil pulling it's certainly worth trying to see if it will work for you.
Ready to make oil pulling part of your morning routine?
Here's how you do it!
To be the most effective, oil pulling is done first thing in the morning before you have anything to eat or drink.
It's also important not to brush your teeth before you start.
1. Firstly, choose your oil.
A good quality sesame oil is traditionally used. Nowadays unrefined, cold-pressed, organic oils such as extra virgin olive oil, sunflower oil, or coconut oil are also used.
Personally I have been oil pulling with unrefined coconut oil on and off for a number of years. It's ideal as it has a pleasant taste, and I love the clean mouth feel I get with coconut oil.
Beyond being a natural thyroid remedy, coconut oil is the supreme choice for oil pulling as it has proven anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial properties.
Most notably, research shows coconut oil is effective at eliminating overgrowth of Streptococcus mutans within the mouth. Studies confirm this bacterial species is the main cause of dental decay, and gum disease.
Interestingly, studies also show this cavity causing bacteria emerges as the dominant microorganism when we eat sugary food.
2. Place 1 tablespoon of oil in your mouth.
If you are using coconut oil and its solid let it melt in your mouth before you start swishing. This won't take long.
Just starting out? You may opt to use 1 teaspoon, and then gradually build up to using 1 tablespoon.
3. Swish the oil around your mouth allowing it to flow over your teeth, tongue and gums.
Be sure to gently pull the oil through your teeth so it gets in between all your teeth.
Do this for at least 5 minutes. The recommended time is 20 minutes. I'm not going to lie to you, it's a little time consuming but think of it as time to prepare breakfast, or sit and plan my day.
Here's some important advice;
- Don't leave the oil in your mouth any longer than 20 minutes.
- Don't swallow the oil as you don't want to swallow bacterial toxins that are being been pulled out.
- Once you are done, spit the oil into your garden, or bin so that it doesn't clog your plumbing system.
4. To finish, lightly brush your teeth with a soft toothbrush, and rinse your mouth out.
You've done it! It's really that easy.
Toxin Free Oral Health Care
I believe oil pulling is a worthwhile health strategy.
You may even discover oil pulling is an effective alternative to using a harsh antibacterial mouthwash.
It should also be said it's wise to look after your teeth by regularly brushing, and flossing to help prevent dental problems. I recommend using a natural fluoride-free toothpaste, and a soft toothbrush. The softer bristles are gentle on your gums, and help safeguard your tooth enamel. (If your game, you could also try using a tongue scraper!). For a proper clean it's also good idea to schedule professional cleaning with a trained dental hygienist.
If you have specific dental concerns you should consult your dentist as oil pulling won't reverse a cavity, or resolve dental issues that require professional treatment.
Lastly, I encourage you to seek out a holistic dentist who combines natural health philosophies with traditional dentistry techniques. Holistic dentists are trained to look for the three key indicators of systemic illness within the mouth which are pain, inflammation and infection.

OMG, y'all. We have got to talk about this show.
1) What in the HELL was going on with Betty's "I'll help you rape a child" speech?! I can't even...
2) Who cares about that kid? Why was that such an important point to introduce in the series premiere?
3) Don's cheating with Whatsherface... Why her? Random.
4) Oh Roger. It is so NOT your funeral. Thank god.
5) Peggy is being portrayed rather marmishly, I thought. They worked hard, I think, to age her physically. That hair... Yeesh. Made me actually miss her hideous ponytail from Season 1.
7) Pete Campbell continues to have a face I deeply desire to punch.
8) How creepy was Don's ad?!
9) Such a dark episode. I don't think they could have included more death images with a crowbar.
10) Why can't one still just smoke some reefer in the office now and again these days?!

Amarantus Announces Positive Clinical Performance and 7-Year Longitudinal Data Poster Presentations for LymPro Test (R) at AAIC 2014
SAN FRANCISCO and GENEVA, July 15, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amarantus Bioscience Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:AMBS), a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of novel diagnostics and therapeutics related to endoplasmic reticulum stress, cell cycle dysregulation, neurodegeneration and apoptosis, today announced positive clinical performance data for Version 2 of the Company's proprietary cell cycle dysregulation diagnostic blood assay LymPro Test®, currently under development for Alzheimer's disease diagnosis. The LymPro Test clinical data package assessed was produced in 2008 at Provista Life Sciences. The 7-year longitudinal patient record clinical progression assessment data was conducted by Dr. Marwan Sabbagh at the Banner Sun Health Research institute who originally enrolled the 44 patients involved in the Provista clinical trial, and analyzed by Dr. Louis Kirby, the Company's Chief Medical Officer. LymPro differentially diagnosed Alzheimer's disease versus age-matched other dementias and cognitively intact controls in statistically significant manner. The poster presentations are available online at https://ir.stockpr.com/amarantus/scientific-publications.
The 2014 assessment of LymPro Test improved over time vs. the original 2008 diagnosis in a statistically significant manner across all univariate and multivariate models evaluated based upon the updated longitudinally assessed diagnosis. Further, the overall accuracy of LymPro Version 2 improved vs. LymPro Version 1 across all univariate and multivariate models evaluated based on the 2012 peer-reviewed publication of Stieler et al in Neurobiology of Aging.
"We are extremely pleased to have identified a lead candidate optimization condition for LymPro that demonstrates superiority over the already established Version 1 LymPro assay," said Dr. Louis Kirby, Chief Medical Officer to Amarantus. "New non-invasive diagnostic tools for Alzheimer's disease have emerged as a key deficiency in the field. While the data presented today is based upon a non-analytically-validated assay, the assessment of an underlying disease biology of cell cycle dysregulation seems to have overpowered these deficiencies. Longitudinal assessments of clinical diagnoses are critical for in-life Alzheimer's disease diagnosis, given that only autopsy definitively confirms the diagnosis, therefore making these data sets meaningful in spite of the small sample size. We look forward to completing the currently-enrolling Bridging Study that will vastly expand the Version 2 data package, and sharing top-line results in two weeks at #C4CT."
The Company is currently conducting a Version 1 vs. Version 2 Bridging Study (previously known as the Pilot Study) at BD Biosciences comparing Alzheimer's patients to cognitively intact, aged-matched controls to assess LymPro's accuracy in a head to head comparison across various univariate measurements and multivariate models. The study will provide the basis for the establishment of initial sensitivity and specificity in Version 1 and Version 2 of LymPro in the newly-analytically controlled LymPro conditions established at BD Biosciences. The Company expects to release topline Bridging Study data at the #C4CT Concussion Awareness Summit: TBI-induced Alzheimer's Disease to be held at the United Nations on July 31st.
"We are pleased that the LymPro program is maturing at its current pace," said Gerald E. Commissiong, President & CEO of Amarantus. "We believe that we are accurately able to measure a fundamental Alzheimer's disease biology with LymPro, and therefore may be able to improve the current diagnostic paradigm in Alzheimer's disease. Abnormal cell cycle re-entry is continuing to gain traction as a key component of the overall disease biology of Alzheimer's disease, linking directly to amyloid plaque depositions and toxic tau hyperphosphorylation. Given that we are measuring disease biology, we are focused on the assay validation required to commercialize LymPro, and thereafter continue further development in a commercial environment. We look forward to developing larger and more robust data sets in that they will further enhance LymPro's predictive value in a commercial environment so that robust data findings may be immediately translated into clinical practice for pharmaceutical companies and key opinion physicians conducting research. We are pleased these initial clinical performance and longitudinal assessments conducted by Amarantus corroborate the published findings and provide the basis for Amarantus to further invest in LymPro's development, and look forward to sharing additional data in two weeks at #C4CT."
About LymPro
The Lymphocyte Proliferation Test (LymPro Test ®) is a diagnostic blood test that measures the ability of peripheral blood lymphocytes to withstand an external stimulation inducing them to enter the cell cycle. It is hypothesized that certain diseases are the result of a compromised cellular machinery that leads to abhorrent cell cycle re-entry by neurons.The inventive step for LymPro that makes a unique asset involves using peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) as a surrogate for neuronal cell function, suggesting a common immune-based relationship between PBLs and neurons in the brain. LymPro Test ® is currently being developed as a diagnostic blood test for Alzheimer's disease and is being evaluated as a diagnostic blood test for Traumatic Brain injury and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy.
About Alzheimer's Disease
It is estimated that over 5.4 million people in the United States suffer from Alzheimer's disease and over 500,000 patients are diagnosed annually, with nearly one in eight older Americans affected by the disease. Alzheimer's is the third leading cause of death in the United States. The estimated cost of unpaid care in the United States is estimated at over $210 billion annually and the total payments for care are estimated at over $200 billion annually, including $140 billion in cost to Medicare and Medicaid. It is estimated that the cost to the United States will exceed $1.4 trillion by 2050.
About #C4CT
The Coalition for Concussion Treatment (#C4CT) was founded in 2012 by former NFL player Jack Brewer, CEO of Brewer Sports International and Gerald Commissiong, President and CEO at Amarantus BioScience Holdings, Inc. with the goal of bringing together those who are directly affected by TBI-induced neurodegenerative diseases with world class researchers, scientists and industry leaders whom are actively working towards identifying and developing innovative TBI treatment opportunities. #C4CT serves as a platform to spread awareness about concussions and the severe effects of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

How to Pickle All Types of Vegetable
Pickling Guide: How to Pickle & Preserve Vegetables
It's one of the oldest methods of preserving foods, and yet is still consistently popular due to the unique flavours that it produces. It's called pickling, and we've put together this helpful article to guide you through the process of how to pickle a wide range of vegetables in the comfort and convenience of your own kitchen.
Pickling foods is actually quite easy, and only requires a few simple ingredients and tools to get started. It's also a great way to experiment with some new flavour combinations, as the pickling ingredients can easily be customized with a diverse array of seasonings and spices, allowing your culinary creativity to shine through.
First, we're going to give you a brief overview of how pickling works, and why this traditional method of preserving foods is still so popular even today.
Why Pickle Foods?
The origins of pickling as a food preservation process go back as far as 4000 years, where ancient civilizations used the process to effectively store foods for long periods of time, while simultaneously maintaining a pleasant taste experience. The brine used in pickling wards off the decay of the foods, allowing civilizations who relied on farming and cultivating to store food and avoid succumbing to temporary droughts or poor growing seasons.
Pickling imbues the foods with acidic taste properties that give them a 'bite' on the taste buds that is often used to complement or accompany other types of tastes. This is why pickles and pickled foods such as sauerkraut are so popular as a topping on grilled meats. The mixing of savoury flavours with the briny taste of pickled vegetables is extremely popular in the cuisines of different cultures all over the world.
Types of Foods to Pickle
While we obviously think of traditional pickles, made from cucumbers, when we talk about pickling, the reality is that there are many different types of vegetables that are suitable for pickling. Pickled cabbage, also known as sauerkraut, is extremely popular. Other commonly pickled vegetables include such foods as beans, asparagus, beets, and peppers.
As pickling has gained in popularity in recent years, and chefs and food aficionados have explored new ways of using the process with unusual foods, many other types of pickled foods have emerged. For example, carrots, cherries, tomatoes, and onions are all potential pickling candidates and have been used to create some fascinating taste experiences. However, for the purposes of this article, we're going to stick to some of the basics.
Essential Pickling Ingredients & Equipment
When it comes to the mechanics and process of pickling, things are actually quite simple. Here are the essential tools that you'll need to complete the job:
Clean, sterile, airtight jars – Mason jars or similar types of airtight glass jars are commonly used for pickling. Make sure they are sterilized prior to use to ensure the longest possible shelf life of your pickled foods.
Large Pots – Some vegetables can be pickled from raw, but there are others that may need to be cooked or blanched first. Beets for example, need to be cooked before they can be pickled. Other types of vegetables, such as beans or asparagus, are often blanched before pickling to ensure they retain their colour and crunch but are just soft enough to be easily eaten.
In addition, you'll need to be able to boil your jars to both sterilize and seal them, so a great big pot is a picklers must have.
Knives, cutting boards & kitchen tools – While you certainly can pickle vegetables whole, it's often preferred to cut them in to slices or smaller portions to make it easier to eat or work with in cooking. You'll also need to chop, slice, and dice other ingredients to use in the pickling process, so common kitchen tools will be used to help prepare the ingredients.
Aside from your vegetable of choice, you'll also need some essential ingredients to perform the picking process. Here are the basic ingredients & seasonings needed for a classic pickle brine:
Vinegar – White vinegar is most common, but this is also up to your personal preference. Apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, and rice wine vinegar are also suitable for pickling and bring different flavour characteristics to the brine.
Salt – Sea salt is the preferred salt type for pickling, as it tends to be a purer form than common table salt. You'll want to pick a salt that has no additives, so natural sea salt is ideal.
Sugar – Not all pickle recipes call for sugar, but many do. This can be common white sugar, but you can also substitute brown sugar, honey, or other sweeteners to achieve the same effect. Low carb dieters will want to either skip the sugar or use their preferred alternative sweetener to avoid adding extra carbs.
Water – The water you use for pickling should be as pure as possible and filtered to remove hardness. Clean and pure filtered water will help the vegetables retain their colours longer.
Herbs & Spices – Garlic, mustard seeds, peppercorns, dill, hot peppers, coriander seeds, and bay leaves are all common seasonings and spices used in pickling. This is a part of the process that is entirely up to you to customize. If you like a very garlicky pickle, then add in some extra garlic cloves. For a spicy, zesty pickle, include some hot peppers or red pepper flakes to add some heat.
Beginner's Recipe for Pickling Foods
Here, we're going to give you a basic recipe for making your own pickles at home. You can use this as a starting point for creating your own recipe by swapping in different types of vegetables or alternate seasonings to give different flavours a try.
Starting with a batch of fresh, small cucumbers, chop or slice them in to your desired pickle shape. Slice along the length of the cucumbers in to quarters to produce long spears. Slice across the width of the pickle to create bite-size disks or try using a crinkle-cutter to give your pickle slices some visual depth.
Add the sliced cucumbers to your jars and add your preferred seasonings, such as garlic cloves, fresh dill, sliced hot peppers, or others.
To make the brine, combine equal parts water and vinegar in a pot, along with sea salt, dill seeds, peppercorns, mustard seeds, and sugar/sweetener (if desired). In general, about 1 teaspoon of each seasoning per 4 cups of brine (2 cups water, 2 cups vinegar) is sufficient to produce a nice flavour.
Bring the brine to a boil, remove from heat, and pour the brine in to the jars to just cover the tops of the sliced cucumbers. Seal the jars and refrigerate.
It usually takes a few days for the flavours of all the ingredients to diffuse throughout the jars and in to the pickles. We recommend waiting around 5 days before cracking open a jar to ensure the flavours are at their best.
Use YouTube to find inspiration and ideas for pickling – the ideas are almost endless!
Enjoy the Taste of Pickles

This post originally ran in November 2014. We are republishing it with the series ending later this month, as no one has died yet.
With Parenthood on hiatus until next year, you still have plenty of time to set up your betting pool on who will (as promised!) be kicking the bucket. All signs seem to be pointing toward Zeek, who, at the end of the last episode, asked that Camille call an ambulance. But maybe the writers of Parenthood are planning a little twist? Here are your odds. Have a happy Thanksgiving with your family.
Kristina Braverman (Monica Potter): 100:1
Kristina already had a death scare in season four, but it's perfectly possible that the cancer could come back. Or maybe this is just wishful thinking, because she's turned into a monster, letting Max get away with murder at the Braveman-run charter school and still (!) parading around like opening that thing was the best thing she and Adam could've done for him. We all realize now that this isn't true.
Camille Braverman (Bonnie Bedilia): 50:1
If Braverman matriarch Camille died instead of Zeek, you'd have to give Parenthood major props. This would be a cruel, unfeeling, and completely random twist, sure, but a good one.
Ruby Rizzoli (Courtney Grosbeck): 40:1
Bear with me, here. The amount of Rizzoli family drama in the final season of Parenthood is not just a waste of our time, but as the clock ticks down to the final episodes, it's borderline offensive that we should be pulled farther and farther away from the Bravermans. Who cares about Ray Romano, Betsy Brandt, and their angsty teenage daughter? If the writers of Parenthood were going for a really satisfying ending, they would turn this entire thing into a Hell House–inspired tale of punishment and have young Ruby perish in some sort of Teen Accident. Would this bring Hank and Sarah closer together? Probably not. Actually, this would be a bad idea.
Amber Holt or Amber's Baby (Mae Whitman): 15:1
Tragic, I know, but if Amber's baby's birth doesn't happen in the same tear-inducing montage (and perhaps even in the same hospital?) as Zeek's death, there's a small chance that the Braverman Family Tragedy we've been so faithfully promised will come at the expense of Amber or her child.
Crosby Braverman (Dax Shepard): 4:1
Remember when Crosby took that angry motorcycle ride and got into an accident? Did you also think he was going to die? Are you thinking that maybe the Parenthood writers might pull a not-so-fast on us and put him in the hospital, perhaps in a bed right next to his post-op father, Zeek? You're not alone! The show has been insinuating for weeks that Crosby is on a downward spiral, having to deal with the Luncheonette's financial problems and his own desire to "stay hip" despite having two young children of his own.
Zeek Braverman (Craig T. Nelson): 2:1
Okay, so, this will probably happen. Especially with the cliff-hanger from last week — Zeek asking Camille to call him an ambulance — he appears to be fading fast. Parenthood is a show that goes for the jugular, meaning, they know what would hit the Bravermans the hardest, and that's the loss of their patriarch.

The Cuban Five have been in prison for seven years. The U.S. government prevents wives from visiting husbands in prison. It's time for action.
Here's the background: In 1998, Gerardo Hernández, Antonio Guerrero, Ramón Labañino, René González and Fernando González were arrested in Florida while trying to defend Cuba from terrorist attacks. They were convicted in a biased trial in Miami and are serving very long sentences. A three-judge appeals court panel threw out the convictions last August, but U.S. prosecutors have appealed that decision. A full 12-judge panel will now review the case.
In the meantime, the five remain in prison and the U.S. government interferes with family visits. Wives are allowed to visit their husbands in jail only once or twice a year. Worse, Olga Salanueva and Adriana Pérez have been kept from seeing Rene and Gerardo for six and eight years, respectively.
The San Francisco-based National Committee to Free the Cuban Five, in coordination with Latin American and European solidarity leaders, has launched a "Five Heroes Freedom Fund" to raise $250,000 over the next six months. The campaign takes shape as the repeat appeals process moves to a conclusion on Feb. 13 with oral arguments in Atlanta.
Contributions will go towards a political struggle aimed at bolstering the legal battle. Those involved anticipate a full-page advertisement in The New York Times, new publicity material, the services of a media agency, and events staged throughout the nation, especially at law schools and universities. The fund will be used to bring prominent jurists to court proceedings as observers, some of them from abroad. To find out how to contribute, visit www.freethefive.org.
That's one set of tasks: mobilizing local committees, organizing local fundraising events, sending out letters, imploring people one by one.
There's another campaign in the works. Supporters of the five prisoners are asked to write letters to the UN Human Rights Commission (HRC) in behalf of the prisoners' families. Letters must arrive in Geneva, Switzerland, by Jan. 15, 2006. The letters should call for an investigation of U.S. obstacles to family visits, especially in the cases of Olga Salanueva and Adriana Pérez, and for remedial action.
The letters are going to the HRC Working Group on Communications, which meets annually to examine complaints of human rights violations. According to the National Committee, letters should state that U.S. authorities have denied entry visas for Olga and Adriana six times. They should point out that the two women are without legal means to appeal the denials and that their only recourse is a plea to the UN Human Rights Commission.
Letter-writers are asked to adhere to rules outlined under the UN's so-called "1503 Procedure": invoke the UN Charter's basic principles, avoid sharp polemics and abusive language, note that specific human rights have been violated, and point out that other remedies in the U.S. have been exhausted.
The National Committee also suggests that letters be written to the HRC in behalf of the prisoners themselves, using the guidelines above. The letters should refer to the declaration issued on May 27, 2005, by the Working Group on Arbitrary Detentions that describes their imprisonment as "arbitrary." The U.S. government was supposed to have taken steps to rectify their situation.
The address is: Treaties and Commission Branch, OHCHR-UNOG, 1211 Geneva 10, Switzerland. The fax number is (41 22) 917 90 11; e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
With pen in hand, don't stop now. During the holiday season, please write to Cuban Five to express your solidarity, your hopes for their freedom and your admiration for their constancy and dedication to revolutionary principles: Gerardo Hernández Nordelo, No. 58739-004, USP Victorville, PO Box 5500, 3777 Air Expressway Road, Adelanto CA 92301; Ramón Labañino Salazar, No. 58734-004, USP Beaumont, PO Box 26035, Beaumont TX 77720 (address your letter to "Luis Medina"); Fernando González Llort, No. 58733-004, FCI Oxford, PO Box 500 Oxford WI 53952-0500 (address to "Rubén Campa"); René González Sehwerert, No. 58738-004, FCI Marianna, PO Box 7007, Marianna FL 32447-7007; Antonio Guerrero Rodríguez, No. 58741-004, USP Florence, 5880 State Hwy 67, South Florence CO 81226.

This blog is dedicated to exploring topics concerning patients' modesty and privacy concerns. It is hoped we can be a reference source of information for patients trying to find their way through a confusing healthcare system full of all kinds of privacy pitfalls.

Chaperone violation and resolution

This post is a testament to what an individual can do to alleviate and fix privacy violations. It takes determination and courage, especially for men who sometimes get mocked for their protests,
But the end result is generally worth the trouble. Medical providers are put on the defensive. It is difficult to defend privacy violations and they rarely try. One pursued complaint can fix or alleviate the problem.
RG is to be commended.

I encouraged RG to write this because he represents someone who is actually doing something about this problem. The system will respond if enough people like RG approach this issue the way he did here. Refuse to be ignored. Present your case civilly and as objectively as possible. Use description. "This is what happened..." Don't be angry or insulting. Know your rights and insist they be respected.
- March 29, 2017 at 2:38 PM
Thank you both for hosting this site and for your insightful guidance on dealing with problems like this one. Your efforts made my own possible.
I did want to clarify that the practice administrators I dealt with regarding this issue were unfailingly polite and concerned; they seemed genuinely interested in learning from my experience and improving their practice. At no point did I encounter the dismissal and/or ridicule that others have reported. Being civil and respectful, as Mr. Capra points out, encourages a like response and a focus on solving problems.

Thanks for your comments, RG. I'm a Stoic at heart, and I try to live by their words. Epictetus wrote:
"In life our first job is this, to divide and distinguish things into two categories: externals I cannot control, but the choices I make with regard to them I do control. Where will I find good and bad? In me, in my choices. Patients, both men and women, need to accept what they can't control, and change what they can. One thing they can control always is how they respond to any situation. Too many choose not to respond to situations they may have some control over. Patients need to understand that how they respond can begin to change individual behaviors and eventually the system. Your example should help them understand that they have more control over the system than they believe.

Good evening Gentlemen:
Doug I agree with you, "Too many choose not to respond to situations they may have some control over. Patients need to understand that how they respond can begin to change individual behaviors and eventually the system."
That's especially true at the urologist office where they are doing more & more procedures these days.
Men are not told ahead of time that the procedure they are there for requires they be put into stirrups.
They're caught off guard and shamed into doing the procedure in the presence of at least one strange woman if not two.
They're too scared & humiliated at this point to stop everything and ask for same gender care of stop the proceedings and leave.
This issue must come out of cyberspace and into the real world.
Men have to know what kinda issues they will be facing as they get older and need healthcare assistance.
Many local hospitals listen to our pitches then it's business as usual.
We need more voices.
Can you tell us where we could call or write on a national level to someone with influence who can help us turn the tide?
Men everywhere have had their respect and dignity stolen from them by the healthcare industry long enough. Some gentlemen have gone as far as to call it rape.
Women over the years found their voice, then spoke up and demanded the system change and it did in their favor.
Men everywhere must decide now do you want protections put in place by the healthcare industry to protect your right to privacy & your dignity?
If you do, it's time to MAN UP and tell the medical community WE DEMAND CHANGE.
Four words that have a great deal of meaning to the healthcare profession.
Turns out they have a lot of meaning to the patient too.
Give ALL your patients (INCLUDING MEN),Choice without questioning why.
Protect their Privacy like you would protect your own.
In return, you will have earned your patients Respect and have their undying gratitude for a lifetime. What more can any healthcare worker ask for?
Choice Privacy Respect CPR three letters that can make a world of difference.
Do No Harm and CPR go hand in hand. You can't have one without the other and successfully take care of the public you serve.

First we had lunch at Jolly Roger's
There were lots of antique stores. I did find a walking stick in one establishment.
I was not going to go all the way down this street but Marvin encouraged me to keep walking...a soap store.
Finally after all that shopping I needed Ice Cream.
I thought this little store was cute.
If you are in the north central Georgia area, check out Ellijay! It is a great day trip.

It has been a while since our last email to you with details of our own event, but CBA North Committee have been busy behind the scenes on your behalf across, and beyond, the CBA North region. Today we start April with a similar spread announcing events this month across the region, as well as giving an update for those yet to book their place at our own CBA North event. Spring starting with a bang includes bangles as per that below.
The Portable Antiquities Scheme/The Trustees of the British Museum [CC BY-SA 2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)]After the Conference/Workshop later this month, our next event will be our AGM on Saturday, 20th May, which is also in Newcastle this year. We have a range of speakers confirmed, and still to confirm, as well as the business of the day where we'll note some of the activities that Committee been doing for you and your local groups. Further information will be sent out regarding the AGM closer to the date – we notice many AGMs this month in our events listing below, but all are crucial to the running of groups.
If you would like to contribute any material, particular of things past you think newsworthy, please talk to a CBA North Committee member when they are out and about – we try and get out to all our local group members at some point in time throughout the year – or feel free to email us at any time.
Best wishes,
CBA North Committee, 02.04.2017
CBA North's Own Event
Our last email gave you all the details for our own CBA North event on Saturday, 29th April 2017. There is still some time to book a place for you or others of your local group. Our previous post was to CBA North's Members and Followers only, but we are keen that others should come along as well.
People do not have to be CBA National or CBA North members in order to attend.
There are short and long links that you can circulate around your group if you are having difficulties forwarding the email and sharing the blog post onwards, as well as the Forward to a Friend link in this email itself. Behind the scenes we have also changed over our website to open with details for the conference as well and this page also now, includes a Word downloadable form as well which can be found here.
The deadline for booking places remains Friday, 14th April 2017. We will send out an acknowledgement to all those who have booked places during the weekend after that date.
Other April Events
Also behind the scenes we've revised and updated our Events page on the website – this includes some changes for April events, as well as additions further ahead from September to November. This month's list is below for you, for the others you'll have to see our Events page.
3 April – AGM and Iron Age and Roman period glass bangles, Tatiana Ivleva [BAS]
5 April – Rethinking henge monuments of the British Isles: what can we say about this 'type' of site?, Lucy Cummings [NAG]
5 April – AGM and Excavations in Northumberland in 2016, Richard Carlton [TILLVAS]
7 April – Bog Bodies, Prof. Miranda Aldhouse-Green [WCAS]
10 April – AGM and roundup of projects over the last 12 months [LUNESDALE]
13 April – The Cumwhitton Viking Burials: Part 2 – Interpretation, Adam Parsons [APPLEBY]
18 April – To Be Confirmed [TAS]
20 April – Prehistoric Flint Mines, Pete Topping [CCA]
22 April – Desert wastes, pagan temples and the Nile Valley: locating monasteries in Coptic Egypt, James Taylor [ARCH & ARCH, NEAES]
26 April – A battalion on the learning curve; 18 DLI in training and in war, Alistair Fraser [SOCANTS]
To save overloading you with information, we've the posters for the two events in north Northumberland this week below. Further information will hopefully be with you this time next week.
Starting or Ending the Year with a Bang(le)?
This lecture follows the BAS AGM at Berwick tomorrow night. Glass bangles are familiar finds across CBA North's region and have been studied since the 1930s, but little studied in depth outside of the region. This talk will illustrate what can be gleaned from the larger geographical study of one object type.
Excavations in Northumberland
Also paired with an AGM is this TillVAS lecture on Wednesday night. This lecture will be looking more at a range of sites and their excavation.

You probably already guessed by now that I'm not one of "those" people. You know exactly of who I speak. That friend, relative or co-worker whose house is sicklingly spotless...even when caught off guard. Not a fleck of dust or dirt anywhere. No grime. Just gleaming. And the entryway? Immaculate. Everything put away. Shoes lined up. Umbrellas tucked away. No bags or backpacks in sight. How is it done? I don't know but I vow to try harder. Slowly the goal is to organize my home and garden spaces better. So I'm thrilled to team up again with the Good Directions company because they keep me on track. This time it's their multi-purpose copper boot trays that make me so happy. Most. Useful. Product. Ever. So I am equally thrilled for your chance of winning one of them valued at $70 & $55 respectively. It's time to spiff up your space!

It's the four letter word that everyone is afraid to utter. A real "F" bomb. As in faux. Faux plants. You've all seen the movie "Groundhog Day"....right? That's Monday's here. I get up, make my bed, brush my teeth and get dressed. On a good day I manage to brush my hair too but not always. Then I feed the girls breakfast, pack lunches and get them bundled off for school. After feeding the pets it's time to get serious about watering the plants. Monday is the designated day for that. With no target in mind, I tend to ignore the problem and plants start dying all over the place. Not acceptable for a garden blogger! After the drudgery is done, I'm tempted to toss their plant butts to the curb and go faux. No need to water ever again and no shedding leaves. Dead-headding. What's that? And come to think of it, no stress about dead plants. So take a deep breath because I'm going to level with you. Faux plants can be great and are becoming increasingly more convincing. So if you don't divulge your dirty little plant secret, we won't either! Promise. Here's a bit of advice about fake plants and what you should consider now.

We've had a few pleasant additions to our family this year. It started with a cat. Then we had a baby boy. Finally we decided it was high time to add a betta fish to the menagerie. The fish is red and is thus named Philip after the red caped prince in Sleeping Beauty. He's red...do you see? I don't quite get it but there it is. My hesitation in getting a fish was the whole cleaning the tank dilemma. I'm swamped with chores as it is! But this tank is different and better. Most regular fish tanks require 50% water changes once a week. Once your plants are established, bi-weekly is ample. Beauty marries function in this water garden that combines fish with plants for an eye candy experience. And many thanks to the Eartheasy company for teaming up with us and awarding one lucky reader their very own Water Garden.

Having a backyard is a pleasure, but during the winter season you can't help but think about all the work you'll be doing when snow build up is too much. I was intrigued by a single stage snow blower review article I read and decided to write how we personally combat the snow season and make things easier after any storm. Here are some tips you can easily do before and during the snow and save yourself time in the future.
Those of us who spend hours in the garden are a proud sort. We work tirelessly to ensure that our outdoors area looks on point all year round. Even during the winter, we can be found pottering around in the garden tending to cold weather plants and shrubbery. We love the time we spend in the garden, but it doesn't necessarily mean that we don't wish that maintenance wasn't at least a little easier. That and it can be oh so disheartening when all of our hard work is ruined at the first sight of bad weather.
I had no idea when I married Tom how much fish would play into our lives. It's a big deal to him and the girls. But it's taken us a few years to learn about how to use all the fish parts, especially in the garden to grow those humongous tomatoes. Thrifty people...we use it all. This is why I reached out to avid fisherman and artist, John Doherty through his company Fishaye Trading. His nautical themed products are spot-on for the fishing enthusiast in your life. Prints, placements, decorative trays, and even mirrors, he highlights the sea in such a unique way. All will appreciate his art from the cottage owner, coastal resident or wanna-be water dweller. I don't know about you, but I'm not just buying gifts at Christmas, it's a year-round deal here. So I'm super excited to introduce you to Fishaye Trading. The best part.... we have two winners today! First place gets a rustic nautical print in a cedar driftwood frame ($140) and second place gets four of his his stunning nautical placements ($40). To enter, like the Raise Your Garden Facebook page and share this post or sign up for our newsletter. For two entries, do both. Let us know that you have entered by telling us how close you live to water! But first, I must tell you about how Gyotaku works! Contest ends February 4th.

Good news...we have upgraded our tent situation from the early days. Used to be, we all fit snug-as-a-bug in one little tent. However, that is not the case any longer. The kids have their own tent these days and the adults have theirs. Life is good this way. The kids won the setting-up-the-tent contest that I didn't realize we were having. Exhibit A & B are proof.
Exhibit A
Exhibit B
In our defense, this was a brand new tent and the directions were not very helpful.
Proof that we eventually (an hour later) figured the whole thing out.
We found a great little nature center with miles of trails. They failed to tell us that these trails would be taking us into the depths of mosquito breeding grounds. We didn't pass one other human soul on our hike. Apparently, everyone else knows to stay away from this particular area during this particular time of the year. Obviously, we are still learning. We have hundreds of bites to prove that sometimes we learn the hard way. However before our illustrious hike we saw this interesting display on how to tie a million different types of knots. We learned something else on this hike - none of us can tie a knot.
The entrance to "the hike from hell". Upon entering we decided we needed to give one another Indian names in the spirit of being native and roughing it. We would now only be known by our new names. These names were to be chosen with care and deep thought knowing that they would indeed be a reflection of the person's character.
Daddy - a.ka. "Chief Balding Puma"
This picture looked a little too much like Tip-Toeing Mischievous Puma
so I asked him to give me his fiercest look and try again.
This is better. This is indeed our fearless leader: Chief Balding Puma
Mommy - a.k.a - "Watches the Sky"
It's harder than you think to pick out a name from nature that accurately depicts
what you like, your character, who you are. I love sunsets and sunrises and thinking.
Apparently I look at the sky during all those times, so this name just kinda stuck.
Gavin - a.k.a - "Thinks Out Loud"
To be literally accurate, his mouth should have been open in this picture.
Gavin spends most of his time thinking and the other half of his time talking VERY
loudly about what he's thinking about. So this one was a no-brainer.
Bennett - a.ka. - "Thunder Foot"
This was option 1. He wasn't a big fan of it, didn't really want to commit to it.
He does in fact have the loudest foot falls you will ever hear. I always forget that I
don't have an elephant living upstairs, just Bennett. He just loves to walk with all his might.
Bennett - a.k.a - "Strong Like Bull"
However, this is the name that eventually stuck. We've called him this for a long time
actually. We imitate that same motion to encourage him from the sidelines during
his basketball games. We want him to remember that he is Strong Like Bull and can do hard things.
Chloe - a.k.a - "Tumbleweed"
This little gymnast cartwheels more than she walks.
Her name is perfect.
This is what happens when your children grow.
Plus, it was just a cool photo op of two handsome guys wearing the same shirt.

Why should you try using essential oils for sore feet relief?
In this article I'm going to be showing you how to create several essential oil for sore feet remedies, I'll explain how to make each item, what essential oils have been used and why as well as offer suggestions for use so you can experience the best results from these products
I would wager that many people when asked would tell you they have some discomfort to serve pain in their feet every day. This pain could be the result of many factors, walking, running, standing, poor footwear, heavy steel-toed boots. I'm happy to report that I have several essential oils for sore feet remedies to share with you. Many of them are easy to whip together right now to help relieve some of the discomforts you are experiencing.
Try a foot soak with essential oils for sore feet.
When your feet are sore and you are experiencing some inflammation in your feet taking a foot soak with cold water and hot water may bring you relief from your sore feet.
When you are experiencing joint pain, swelling and muscle stiffness a cold foot soak with essential oils can help promote the bodies natural numbing nerve sensations and bring temporary relief to your sore feet. Often a cold soak is recommended when you have an injury such as a sprained ankle.
Alternatively you can switch over to a warm foot soak, ideally, you will soak your feet in warm water when you are experiencing over tired feet. It may be the repetitive action of being on your feet all day or wearing heavy work boots that have brought on fatigue to the muscles in the foot. A nice warm foot soak with essential oils can encourage blood circulation to the foot and surrounding muscles.
I'm personally in love with my foot bath and I've used it with essential oils without any problems. I like to add Epsom salt to my foot soak. The magnesium and sulfate can be very soothing and relaxing as well have the ability to soften the skin if you have rough dry thick patches of skin on your heels or Epsom salt can also help with smelly feet and bacteria. I would suggest soaking for feet for 15-30 minutes to gain all the benefits from the salt and essential oils. Here are 2 recipes for Epsom salts and essential oils.
The foot soak recipes listed below are intended for single use, I prefer to make big batches and store the foot soak in a glass jar. Whenever I need some relief of my sore feet I can just grab a few scoops of the mixture and add it to my foot bath.
Some of the supplies you will need to make your own foot soak are
- Glass Jar
- Cute Mini Metal Scoop
- Epsom Salts ( I like to buy in bulk)
- Baking soda ( also available in bulk)
- Cute chalkboard labels
- Essential oils that are 100% pure
How to make your essential oil foot soak:
Step #1 – add your baking soda to your glass jar
Step #2 – add you're essential oils to the baking soda and stir
Step #3 – add your Epsom salt and combine with baking soda until well mixed together
Step #4 – add a label
Side note, makes a wonderful gift for teachers, mothers, dance instructors & new mums.

Try a foot massage with essential oils for sore feet.
- So if the idea of digging out your foot bath and soaking your feet for 15 or more minutes just isn't in the cards, giving yourself a relaxing foot massage with essential oils to ease your foot pain might be the next best thing. Using essential oils with a carrier application oil and taking the time to massage your foot can be an overall relaxing meditative experience. You can take the time to pay special attention to the areas of your foot that are sore, or if you showing some signs of inflammation you can apply the pressure you find soothing to the foot area to relieve the soreness. Here are 2 massage lotions you can create with essential oils for sore feet that smell wonderful. For a spa-like experience after you have massaged your sore feet, wrap super soft warm towels around each foot, and lay down with your legs propped up with a few pillows and take a 15 minutes cat nap. Allow your feet to enjoy the benefits of warm towels and essential oils.
The massage oil recipes listed below are intended for 1-foot massage application ( 2 feet) Making up a bottle of massage oil for your sore feet will save you time next time your feet are sore you can just grab the bottle and start massaging your feet. Depending on the side of the bottle you chose, just double or triple the below sore feet recipes.
Gather the following supplies to create your own essential oils for sore feet massage oils.

Bonus, How to keep your feet looking amazing for summer footwear.
Taking good care of your feet to avoid injury and soreness are important and give your feet some special attention on a regular basis can be part of your health and wellness routine. You don't always have to head to the spa for a pedicure, taking care of your feet at home can provide a great opportunity for some personal time, listen to your favorite music, light some candles and give yourself a pampering foot scrub and paint your own toenails. Check out my Foot Sugar scrub, a totally sweet treat for your feet.
Supplies you'll need to make your own Foot Sugar Scrub
- ½ cup of white sugar
- ½ Cup of course cane sugar
- ½ Cup of jojoba oil
- 1 TBSP of dried Rosemary leaves
- 10 Drops of Lemon essential oil
- 10 Drops of Rosemary essential oil
How to make your Lemon Rosemary Foot Sugar Scrub:
Step #1
In a large bowl combine your white sugar and your coarse cane sugar
Step #2- add in your dried Rosemary leaves to your sugar mixture
Step #3 – In a separate bowl combine your jojoba oil and your essential oils
Step #4 – Combine your wet ingredients ( the oils) with the dry ingredients ( the sugars) and stir until well combined
Step #5- scoop into decorative glass jars and ad a special kraft paper label
How to use the Lemon Rosemary Sugar Scrub
I would use one of the above foot soak recipes first, if you don't have the time to soak your feet for 15 minutes, I would at least wash them with soap and water before doing the lemon rosemary sugar scrub on your feet.
Apply a generous amount of Lemon Rosemary Sugar scrub to the bottom of your feet and massage into the top and bottom of your feet. Pay extra attention to areas with thick dry skin. You can leave the sugar scrub on your feet for a little bit if you like or rinse off when your done.

The Elementary Community experience helps student to develop intellectually, emotionally and physically
Collage's Elementary School Community is designed to continue the development of well-rounded students with a well-balanced curriculum that engages them intellectually, emotionally and physically. In addition to taking challenging academic courses in English, world languages, math, science, and social studies, students also participate in a broad range of experiences in physical education, the environment, visual and performing arts, technology and service learning.
We help students develop the tools to be problem solvers, innovators, creators and change makers by matching the unique learning profile of each student with individualized instruction. Because they are engaged with professionals who understand how they learn and who they are as individuals, students learn to love learning.
Collage teachers cultivate academic excellence by building upon this joy in learning and celebrating our students' innate curiosity. Students are encouraged to express their independence and use their imagination as part of learning to become the leaders of tomorrow. They are motivated to respect themselves, each other and our planet.
Teachers in our Elementary School Community:
- Allow students to master their specific areas of strengths, while being empowered to try emerging areas of interests
- Guide students in understanding the concept of time and time management as part of setting and reaching goals
- Help students discover the social skills they will need to interact effectively with others in their community
- Enable students to develop an awareness and appreciation for people outside of their community
- Provide opportunities for students to become responsible for their own actions
- Teach students about respect for local environments and our world as a whole

Building the Right Environment to Support AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning
Every successful naming scheme I know of has a way to emphasize word boundaries in multi-word names: Lisp uses hyphens (multi-word-name), other common methods are camel-casing (MultiWordName or multiWordName) and underscores, (multi_word_name). The Ada programming language went a little overboard and promotes both capitalization and underscores (Multi_Word_Name). Anyway, whether you like it or not, Python 3.0 adheres to this new official naming convention consistently across the standard library.
Some modules are not intended for public consumption; they're used only by other modules from the standard library. These have a single underscore prefix in the name to make their use clearer. For example, markupbase has been renamed to _markupbase.
There were some larger changes where multiple modules have been renamed and moved into a package. For example, Python 3.0's html, http and tkinter packages contain a number of formerly top-level modules. The http.server module now contains the former BaseHTTPServer, CGIHTTPServer, and SimpleHTTPServer.
The new urllib package contains functionality from the erstwhile urllib, urllib2, urlparse, and robotparser organized into slightly different modules: urllib.request, urllib.error, urllib.parse, and urllib.robotparser.

Broken and shattered
Hello, my name is Frank,
Broken and shattered, that's how I felt, when I stood in front of the Christian Social Work ICHTHYS in Arco Street, Mahlow: After my third severe alcohol detoxication within 6 weeks, I was drunk again suffering from the severe withdrawal. I was really ready to die. But I wanted to dare one more try. "We are worried about you," these words did not get out of my mind. Somebody was there, who cared about me and people unknown to me enabled me to give it one more try. Today I know of course that I was only able to dare this step for myself and not for others. After a hard withdrawal for one week, I started a painful time of learning and awakening. I had to start my life anew. It was also a time of healing emotional pain, the beginning of the reformatting of my life.
It really was no picnic. It is hard to find out so many things about yourself and also particularly to admit to yourself your own faults and at the same time still respect yourself.
When I look back today I can say this: Each dry day, each day without alcohol was worth it, even though I could not see this at the beginning. I learned a lot from those just as affected as I, and I am still learning from them. The staff also helped me a lot, I am very grateful for that. I stayed with ICHTHTYS and I work here as a music therapist and a work instructor, trying to pass my experience on to others.
… God wrote for us a wonderful melody of life, but we put our fingers in our ears and whistle our own song.
Frank R.

Great deals on football boots at JD Sports
It is turning into a bit of a football boot frenzy at OTP right now, it would seem.
As you may have read, yesterday we took advance delivery of the new Adidas Predator. Unless you are a) very lucky or b) Kaka the chances are you will have to wait until next month before you can get your hands on them. The good news is that there are currently some great bargains available on football boots from JDSports, including the current Predator boot.
The new Predator marks a move away from a focus on the power of the boot towards control, so if your game is built around powerful/hopeful long-range shooting, the Adidas Predator X is probably a sound investment at £29.99.
Available in unmissable electric yellow, the boots boast a specially engineered panel known as the 'Element' which aids control of and contact with the ball.
If you prefer your boots more swooshy than stripy, there are also some Nike deals to be snapped up. If you can pull off purple boots, the Nike Mercurial Victory are priced at £49.99. The boots are all about speed: your pace enhanced by the lightweight boot, the speed of manoeuvre assisted by the strategically placed blade studs and backing yourself to have the pace to beat anyone who might fancy a hack at your brand new purple boots!

Diageo's 'Summer drinks are calling' campaign
Spirits company Diageo Australia has launched a shopper marketing campaign called 'Summer drinks are calling' created by The Station Agency.
The campaign comes after the launch of Mixionary.com.au and encourages consumers to mix, shake and stir their own drinks at home.
From January 6 a burst of outdoor ads will run across Australia with headlines such as 'love that holiday feeling' and 'make the most of summer'.
Point of sale materials tailored to individual retailers are also part of the activation along with online and consumer magazines.
Retailers will also offer a soda siphon and ice maker for a fee when consumers buy two bottles of Smirnoff vodka, Pimm's, Bundaberg Five rum, Gordon's gin and Jose Cuervo tequila.
Matt Bruhn, Diageo Australia marketing director, said: "With summer now here, we know that Australians will be hosting a range of social gatherings, and we want to make sure spirits are front of mind when people are thinking about the perfect drink for these occasions. While Mixionary.com provides consumers with the know-how to fashion mixed drinks,this Summer Drinks campaign is ensuring we remind them of this at the point of purchase."
"This innovative marketing activity aims to help drive brand growth, encouraging shoppers to consider spirits when summer drinks are calling."
