14 Fantastic How To Wire, Way Switch With 14-2 Romex Solutions - While maximum diyer's consider installing a 3 manner their brain starts to melt. The truth is it's very clean. You simply want to triumph over all the ones more wires. Observe the diagram under. You'll note we have tourists. Those are the greater ones. However wait, your 3-manner switch has greater screws. So essentially, you just want to feature those wires to those screws and both switches. Yea it's that easy.?.
I would like to replace my modern light within the ceiling with a ceiling fan that has a mild. I have 1 activate the wall that control the presently mounted mild but i would like to replace that transfer with one that could independently manage the brand new fan with light. Further, i would love to install a dimmer transfer for the mild.
Mr. Dominick, i understand the basic wiring for a 3-way transfer and your video facilitates to enhance my understanding. My wife requested me to install new led furniture inside the hallway. One is on a separate 2-manner switch (works high-quality) and the other is connected to a few-manner switches. But, i seem to be getting residual/inductive current; the fixture glows whilst switched-off. The electricity appears to be entering the mild and strolling into the switches. I can't appear to segregate the residual contemporary to maintain the mild from glowing. Any ideas?.
So we could say the wires you've got in box one are all of them. A 14/2 is energy in, 14/2 is to the mild and the 3 cord of path is to the alternative 3 way. Take the black twine from the opposite 3 way and connect that to the black wire to the mild. And the wire from the mild to the white from the power and the black from the power to the 3 way within the box with all of the wires.
Yeah sure it makes sense. But it's going to stilled be cord from the switches the identical way. But on this video i best display one of the ways to twine a 3 way. Test my other video "how to twine a 3 manner to present one way" that can help easy matters up a bit.

The baskets are different sizes, and so have a different number of lights. The one shown on the left is the smaller of the two, which has 2 strings of 80 lights on it. The larger chandelier uses 3 strings.
In the photo you can see the base has been completed but not the top. To get even spacing and lengths an equal distance was allowed between each pass below the basket (in this case 10 leds, which is equivalent to 1m). These hanging sections were then pulled taught to the top of the hanging chains. It was important to make sure that each line was pulled to the same tension to avoid a tilted chandelier; this meant that each section was tied to the hanging chain at a slightly different height with a cable tie for maximum flexibility. The ends were then wrapped up around the hanging chain and taped together to keep them neat all the way back to the controller.
These also gave us the opportunity to use some y-connectors we had made so that despite using multiple strings to cover it the whole chandelier is only one output from our DMX boards. These make things much neater and give us the ability to wire things in quickly.

BUT we go on our hols in 24 sleeps! Yaaway!!!0
Cd 36 for me, had blood tests at 22 and 29 days both negative. I've booked another for today, according to app af is due is two days. We've not really dtd much this month, hubby is coming to the end of 16 days straight at work so not been in the mood!
Has anyone thought about not really trying in the next couple of months to avoid having a july/august baby to coincide with school term?0
Thanks for the new thread Ellabella, fingers and toes crossed everyone!0
Don't know what happened there...0
We are now aiming for a July baby! It would work well with the tons of weddings we have next year! Haha!
some peeps are posting on the old thread. I'm sure they will realise soon enough and join us
Not much to report from me. I'm the 2ww. nothing out of the ordinary. Still too early to tell anyway I think. I'm always dubious aboit symptoms pre 7dpo0
Thanks for starting new thread! Tons of baby dust to everyone, I feel this is going to be a good one for BFP's!!!
I had a temp dip yesterday (8DPO) went down to coverline, this morning it slightly crept up, any idea what this could mean? It's my first month temping so not very good at it at the moment, I am temping vaginally as I sometimes sleep with my mouth open and I do it every day at 7am. x x0
Thank you for the new thread Ellabella...let's make this one a lucky one eh ladies?
Still nothing much to report here - cd49 and no idea when af will arrive. Feeling very sleepy today but didnt sleep very well last night as I felt like I was burning up all night. Could just be the 'come down' after my sisters wedding though haha
MrsC from what I can gather from the more experienced tempers amongst us is that you can have slight changes in temp and it not mean too much really - best to wait until you have the full months readings to look at, to find a pattern xx0

Morning ladies hope we are well. mid way through the 2 ww for me wooo! Really nothing to report!!0
Afternoon ladies from a very weepy MrsA! Dont know whats wrong with me today, been crying on and off all morning!
Hubby says my mood has changed slightly, as in, i am a bit more snappy today as well as the crying, and being snappy and and shouty are my usual signs of af being on its way - so fingers crossed this cycle could be coming to an end...now cd50!0
fingers crossed for you Ella xx
hope AF appears for you soon mrsa6, I am 10dpo and CD39 today xx0
ditto with the mood swings! The week before I'm terrible. poor hubs!!
i have decided since we can't get a BFP I'm gona get skinny instead. Almost lost a stone in the last 7wks! Feeling pretty chuffed. i will be bikini ready hahha!0
I'm still awaiting AF since stopping Cerrazette weeks ago frustrated.com.
does anyone know if its worth starting to temp before i have had my first AF post cerrazette?
just wanna know where i am. ...although i am hoping feeling exhausted, bloated and sore boobs means its on its way,,, been like this for 3 weeks now0
MrsJellyBean2014, I stopped my pill 1st July and ovulated 10 days ago and I swear it's down to taking 2000mg of Vitex a day, I read about it on lots of other TTC forums and girls swore by it to help stimulate the gland that produces the hormones you need to ovulate and get regular cycles back. I started temping straight away too. I am now 10DPO and to be honest don't feel any different than I usually do other than being more tired but could be a coincidence so I don't think I will get a BFP this month so hoping for a period in the next couple of weeks fingers crossed xx0
Well done EllaBella on weight loss! xx0
Buttonmoon Posts: 924
Mrs c I've commented on the other thread but even if this cycle isn't a bfp but it is looking very hopeful and I hope it ia for you. I fully expect your af to arrive in the next week. ow you have ovulated lutheal phases are usually short not long in most cases.0
Thanks girls. Yeah I'm feeling pretty motivated just signed up for a half marathon. I may regret it haha0
Mornings girls how are we doing? I'm 8dpo today. The 2ww always seems so long. I'm back at the GP for a repeat smear next week. Our GP was really reassuring last time Which was good. It won't make the repeat smear anymore fun though!0
Thanks button, I had a negative test this morning at 11dpo so feeling pretty gutted, temp has dropped to just above coverline again I'm gonna hold out now until Monday and test if AF hasn't arrived. xx0
Sorry for the bfn MrsC Although remember you arent out until af arrives, so you never know?
No change here...cd51 and counting0

Psalm 100:4-5 says "Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. 5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations" (NIV).
In verse 4 the Psalmist tells us we should give thanks to God and praise His name. In verse 5 the Psalmist goes on to give us 3 reasons why we should give thanks. So here are those reasons to give thanks and praise to God.
God is good.
"For the Lord is good…"
What the psalmist is pointing out here is part of the character of God, part of what makes God…God. The goodness of God is part of His very essence. It is part of His very DNA. When it comes to goodness or something being good, we understand it to mean something is favorable and right, rather than bad, wrong or possibly even evil. With our understanding that God is good and what goodness entails, then we understand that in God there is nothing bad or evil. He is a holy God who loves us and shares His goodness with us.
Many times in life we look at the difficult events in our life and we call into question where is the goodness of God in my situation. The loss of a loved one, a relationship that ends badly, a job that is downsized, and the list goes on. But just because we face a difficult circumstance here on earth or even live a life constantly filled with adversities and difficulties doesn't change the goodness of God. Ultimately it shouldn't give us a negative view of God or His goodness. What we ought to experience in those difficult times in life is a greater appreciation for God's goodness to us. We ought to have an attitude of thankfulness to God for His goodness during those difficulties. If we see God for who He is, a loving, benevolent, good and holy God then we will be thankful for all that God does for us. Especially seeing us through those difficult times in life. Ultimately the goodness of God is a reason we should give thanks to God and praise His name.
Another reason to give thanks and praise to God is because...
God loves you.
"His love endures forever…"
For us, one of the greatest things we receive from God and can be thankful for is His love. Like the psalmist says here in verse 5, "His love endures forever…"This is a reason to be thankful on so many levels. Think first about God's love. God's love for us is shown in many different ways. Through His provision, His care, His grace, His mercy and many other ways. The greatest way we've been shown God's love was through Christ dying on the cross for all of us. Romans 5:8 says, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (NIV). God showed His love to you by allowing Jesus to die on the cross while you were dead in your sins, so you could have your sins forgiven, a perfect relationship with God, and eternal life.
But verse 5 tells us that not only does God love us, but his love endures. This shows us the staying power of God's love. It means God doesn't love us for a short time and then discard us or give up on us. His love endures all of the mess we put ourselves through by sinning and disobeying God. His love stands the test of time and we ought to be thankful for that.
Finally we see that this love of God that endures all of our failures, it will endure forever. There is no end to the love of God. God has loved us since before time existed and He will love us into eternity, millions and billions of years from now. It is like God says in Jeremiah 31:3 "I have loved you with an everlasting love" (NIV). The everlasting and enduring nature of that love is all the more reason to praise Him and give thanks to Him.
Another reason to give thanks and praise to God is because...
God is faithful.
"His faithfulness continues through all generations."
God has proven Himself faithful for thousands of years through the pages of Scripture, through the pages of church history, and ultimately in your life. His faithfulness to you is found in verses like Deuteronomy 31:8 "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." His faithfulness to His children is as enduring as His love we mentioned previously.
Notice what the psalmist says there in verse 5. He says "His faithfulness continues through all generations." Basically the psalmist is telling us that from Adam & Eve until the final generation of people on earth God will be faithful to His people. There will never be a time when God is not faithful to you or to anyone else who's ever lived. God's enduring faithfulness to you is deserving of praise and thanks.
God's faithfulness to you in every aspect of your life deserves your thanks and praise. Consider His faithfulness to provide for you, love you, guide you, mold you, care for you, and protect you. His faithfulness through all of that and much more deserves at the least your thanks and at the most your praise.

Bob Evans Restaurants are part of the Ohio landscape. The company began in the 1950s as a sausage shop on the original family farm in Rio Grand, Ohio. Today Bob Evans comprises nearly 600 stores throughout the Midwest.
The studio partnered with Bob Evans Farms Corporation to imagine a new type of dining experience for a new audience. In looking to reach a new customer base – one that is younger and can grow with the company – new markets, sites and experiences are considered. If Bob Evans moves from a stand-alone restaurant located near the highway, to an urban-infill site next to a college campus, for example, how is the architecture and dining experience reconfigured?
The studio envisioned five possible scenarios: A downtown infill site aimed at young professionals and featuring grab-and-go sandwiches; a campus-oriented site aimed at a festive college crowd, focusing on over-scaled architecture and food; a food distribution center and food-truck hub for the adventurous foodie; a Grocery Store aimed at students featuring the company's prepared foods; and a pared-down Gastropub located in a boutique neighborhood to capture the urban sophisticate. Each urban site, food typology and customer base play into different expectations of the architectural expression. How is experience crafted through building, food, site, interior and brand?

There comes a time in the life of every business owner when the question must be asked, 'When should I purchase new office furniture?' Maybe the business is relocating to a new building, or perhaps you would like to inspire more teamwork with an open office plan, or maybe your old fittings is literally on its last feet and it is time to move on. Fortunately, there are selections. Old furniture can be renovated and re-purposed and new and used furniture can be added to the assortment.
For decades, 110-watt incandescent light bulbs have lit up bedrooms and hallways; 60-watt incandescent has shone softer light from closets and reading lamps. But incandescent lights have some difficulties.

Samsung Moment :: Unable To Send Text Using HandcentNov 29, 2010

Square Root SAM (IJRR 06)
Square Root SAM: Simultaneous Location and Mapping via Square Root Information Smoothing, Frank Dellaert and Michael Kaess, International Journal of Robotics Research, 2006
Solving the SLAM problem is one way to enable a robot to explore, map, and navigate in a previously unknown environment. We investigate smoothing approaches as a viable alternative to extended Kalman filter-based solutions to the problem. In particular, we look at approaches that factorize either the associated information matrix or the measurement Jacobian into square root form. Such techniques have several significant advantages over the EKF: they are faster yet exact, they can be used in either batch or incremental mode, are better equipped to deal with non-linear process and measurement models, and yield the entire robot trajectory, at lower cost for a large class of SLAM problems. In addition, in an indirect but dramatic way, column ordering heuristics automatically exploit the locality inherent in the geographic nature of the SLAM problem. In this paper we present the theory underlying these methods, along with an interpretation of factorization in terms of the graphical model associated with the SLAM problem. We present both simulation results and actual SLAM experiments in large-scale environments that underscore the potential of these methods as an alternative to EKF-based approaches.

The theme for Saturday, Sept. 1 in Happy Valley: change, to the fullest extent.
For the first time in over four decades, Joe Paterno wasn't roaming the home sideline at Beaver Stadium. The Jerry Sandusky scandal changed everything in at Penn State all the way down to the decision to put names on the backs of the classic blue and white uniforms.
The NCAA sanctions, the departures by running back Silas Redd (among others) — it wasn't what Bill O'Brien envisioned when he took over the program.
But things actually started out promising enough for the Nittany Lions against Ohio. Though just a touchdown favorite, Penn State's offense immediately looked like an improved unit from a year ago despite losing Redd and not having a proven quarterback. Then, halftime came and everything changed. PSU's 14-3 lead slipped away. The Nittany Lions offense stalled and everything began looking like a reincarnation of 2011.
Penn State never scored another point and lost to a good Ohio team 24-14. It was truly a story of one half going in the exact opposite direction of the other.
And that was against Ohio — again, a good team, but a beatable one. Penn State travels to Virginia next before facing Navy and Temple. PSU might earn a couple of wins there before Big Ten conference play begins later this month. This has the potential to be a long and difficult season for the Nittany Lions.
The defensive front seven is good, but they can't be on the field for over half the game. If the offense can execute like it did in the first half, Penn State can go over .500 this year. If the offense plays like it did in the second half, this team will struggle to win five games.
I have little Doubt O'Brien can get things done at Penn State over the long haul — there were flashes early — but consistency already looks like it's going to be a problem for this team.

Boozers and gamblers in Indonesia's most fundamentalist province are sometimes punished with more than a hangover and empty pockets.
Offenders risk painful whacks with a rattan cane. And the whole town is invited to watch.
Aceh province, allowed to operate under Qur'an-based Shariah law, says caning is Islam's favored punishment for pre-martial coupling, drinking, gambling and a number of other light crimes.
But Amnesty International says the canings can "constitute cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment and often amount to torture." According to the human rights group, Aceh authorities have set off on a caning spree, lashing 21 people in recent weeks while only lashing 16 people all of last year.
Furthermore, Amnesty insists caning violates U.N. conventions against torture, which Indonesia signed more than 10 years ago.
Provincial clerics' response? Amnesty just doesn't get Islam. And it selectively picks on Muslim-majority Aceh instead of Singapore, which also practices caning, or abuses committed by Israel or France against Muslims.
Besides, one scholar told the Jakarta Globe, the punishment is only applied to Muslims.
"It is their right to criticize," he told the Globe, "but as long as they do not seek to understand Shariah, they will continue to criticize something they know little about."

As I promised, today I have an OOTD with a bright statement, a neon yellow blazer. With this, anyone is sure to stand out from the crowd, neon blazer are actually more versatile than you would think. You can pair them with jeans and a tee for a casual everyday look, with your business formal black&white work clothes, with some nice yellow trousers for a monochrome pantsuit, or with a nice party dress to add some colour to your LBD (Little Black Dress), white dress, pastel dress, patterned dress, dark coloured dress, or metallic dress. As you can see, this neon blazer is actually reusable for any occasion.
Today I felt like wearing my neon blazer in a casual outfit, but knowing me, plain blue jeans will not be in this OOTD. Instead, I've paired the blazer with a pair of faux leather pants. A casual outfit cannot go wrong with a white graphic tee. Throw on some shades, booties and bling bling and it's all complete. Now it's time to hop to the pictures!
That's it for today, hope you can find your own neon blazer! Let me know what neon colour you would buy! Also, let me know if you find any cheap finds!

A key to figuring out the best dining spots in any city is to take a foodie tour. I took The Savory Faire ($39) tour through City Walks in St. Augustine Florida. This tasty 2 ½ hr walking tour ($39) explores the historical and cultural influences on the St. Augustine culinary scene. From Tapas to Desserts, I ate my way through the present day culinary offerings of the City by stopping at several restaurants to sample their signature items. My tour included a bottle of water at the start of the tour, all tastings, and a special heritage recipe gift that is included below. Bon Appétit!
The Florida Minorcan culture began when 1403 indentured servants from the Island of Minorca, off Spain, were brought to Florida in 1768 to work on an indigo plantation in New Smyrna, Florida. When the plantation failed, they went north to St. Augustine, where they settled.
St. Augustine assimilated many foods and cultures from the Minorcans one of these is this wonderful Spicy clam chowder that you can now make at home.
Datil Peppers and Datil Pepper Hot Sauce is available online at Hot Shot Bakery and Café
Pair with a Czech or German Riesling with a slight minerality to it to cool down the scorching hot datil peppers
- bacon chopped fine
- 2 large onions chopped
- 1 bell pepper chopped
- 2 cups fresh clams, chopped fine, juice reserved
- 1-2 datil peppers, minced or Datil Pepper Hot Sauce to taste
- 2 – 28 oz cans of crushed tomatoes
- 1 sm can of petite diced tomatoes
- 1/2 tbls thyme, crumbled
- 1/2 tbls salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1-2 bay leaves crushed
- · 2 cups new potatoes, diced
Sauté pork in large pot over medium heat until fat is rendered. Remove pork and set aside. Add onions, bell pepper, and cook until softened. Add clams, reserved clam juice, datil peppers, tomatoes, seasonings, and reserved pork. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer one hour. Add potatoes and cook 30-45 minutes more. Add additional stock or clam juice if too thick.
You can also add other vegetables such as carrots and celery to the dish.
Cook this dish the day before serving or early in the morning as you will want the flavors to blend. Heat up and serve with crusty bread for a hearty meal.

As I started packing for my trip to San Diego next week, I thought about my top five travel musts. Because I travel pretty frequently, I try to have all the comforts of home and all the things I need to make every trip a great one. There's nothing worst than being on the road and needing something you neglected to pack. This can almost trigger an anxiety attack for me! Can you tell I've learned the hard way? So, without further adieu, here's my list...
{Shop Items Here}
tote :: foldable flats :: raincoat :: iphone charger :: scarf
Sometimes fooling with an umbrella just isn't an option. In those cases, I reach for my trusty raincoat. I just got this raincoat (different than one featured above) while in Maine at L.L. Bean and I'm in love! It's the perfect length and I love the hoodie. I just wish I didn't have to use it so much. We've had quite a bit of rain here in GA this summer and to tell ya the truth, I'm over it. But, thankfully, I have a really great raincoat to keep me dry!
Flats are a MUST for me. Gone are the days of hustling through the airport wearing heels. I admire the women that do it but part of me just wants to say..."come on girl, you aren't fooling anyone...I know your feet are killing you!" That being said, how cute are these foldable flats? I first heard of these from my best blog friend Nicole and had to check them out for myself. There's a full blown review coming soon so stay tuned!
Ok, I know I've mentioned it more than once before but this Ella Tote has saved my life on more than one occasion. It's huge and perfect as a carry-on, as well as a handbag when you reach your final destination. Mine is so beat up, I really should get a new one but I think I'll wait until this one is absolutely spent.
On my last business trip, I was introduced to this little jewel and knew I had to have it. How many times have you needed to charge your phone and there's no outlet to be found? Problem solved! This sweet accessory is good for three iphone recharges when it's at full charging capacity. Awesome, right?
Lastly, a scarf is always good to have...even in the summer time. You never know when you'll need it for warmth or a little color around your face. I always pack at least one!
There you have my travel essentials. What else would you add to this list?
Happy Friday Eve, Dolls!

nice heirloom tomatoes of various colors sliced in 1/2" slices
1 ball of fresh mozzarella in water *
1 avocado
1 bunch of mint chopped
1/2 cup of mayonnaise
1/2 cup of Greek yogurt
salt, pepper, dried oregano
1 tsp. of hot sauce
2 tbsp. of balsamic reduction
olive oil
juice of 1 lemon
1 tbsp. of cream (optional)

set aside. If are using cream add the cream also.
using the food processor make the avocado cream: cream the avocado with the yogurt and mayonnaise and add salt and pepper to taste as well as the hot sauce and the remaining lemon juice
start setting the tomatoes in a long serving dish. First layer the slices of tomatoes, cover with the creamy mozzarella, spoon the avocado cream and drizzle the balsamic reduction. Add another layer and repeat. At the end top it with the chopped mint
* My inspiration for this recipe was a recipe from a restaurant in Mission Viejo called "Wine Works", next to " Dublin" and they use Burrata (a creamier mozzarella which is mixed with cream), you can substitute for more creamy runny texture

The lifting of the siege on the headquarters of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat in Ramallah has coincided with an intensification of calls for reform of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA). These calls have not been confined to Palestinian quarters but came also from top United States leaders, including President George W. Bush and Secretary of State Colin Powell and Israeli leaders, namely Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. In recent weeks, the discourse of reform has become so crowded with strains of ideas and aims that it is easy to lose one's way over who wants what and why.
One thing can be quickly cleared up: Sharon, who has spent most of his energy since his election as prime minister last year on demonizing and dehumanizing Arafat and attempting to weaken, marginalize and possibly destroy the PNA, cannot be said to be genuinely concerned with reforming something he loathes so much. Sharon and his government have raised the issue of PNA reform only after they failed to rid themselves of Arafat and dismantle the PNA in their use of siege, blockade, assassinations of Palestinian militants, and military invasion of towns, camps and villages. Hence the current Israeli leadership is trying, as second best, this new tactic aimed using the issue of reform to delay as much as possible the rejuvenation of a process of political negotiations over a final settlement.
What Sharon means by "reform" is a process of neutralizing Arafat. What follows is the demand to allocate him only a symbolic role and leave the real task of governing to other, perhaps more agreeable administrators, as well as the unification of the several Palestinian security branches into one. In other words, for Sharon and his right-wing Likud party and many old guards of the Labor party, "PNA reform" means Palestinians guaranteeing the security of Israel, including its occupying soldiers and colonial settlers, before the reaching of a final settlement.
The United States is also demanding the unification of Palestinian security forces, as well as a more financially transparent government that is less centralized in the hands of Arafat. That is, the US administration, in the best colonial tradition, is using reform as a precondition for accepting the graduation of the PNA into statehood (and, of course, without specifying borders and other characteristics of statehood).
For Palestinians, the idea of reform is as old as the PNA, although new advocates have emerged in the arena following the military reoccupation of the West Bank. The newcomers to the reform platform are mostly from the upper echelons of the PNA bureaucracy who are now on the bandwagon for more than one reason; some have been recently genuinely shaken by the price paid by Palestinians in the second Intifada. This group would like to be part of the Palestinian decision-making process, and not simply a cover for autocracy that is apportioned responsibility for policies it has no hand in making, including the creation of a situation that permitted the coexistence of a number of political centers with their own autonomous strategies and tactics that have dramatically effected the lives of large sectors of the population.
The main concern here has been the character of the confrontation with the Israeli military occupation and colonial settlements. It has centered on whether to develop and strengthen the popular character of resistance, or to use armed struggle against the occupying Israeli army and Israeli settlers, and whether to use suicide bombing of civilians inside Israel, or a mixture of these. Each of these strategies has its own impact on the Palestinian cause and society, as well as on the Israeli political scene. The leadership of the PNA has no clear vision for defining the limits of the competing strategies of Palestinian political factions, which have resulted in a kind of chaos that has negatively impacted most Palestinians.
It is difficult to clearly identify those Palestinian leaders who genuinely stand for reform within the PNA hierarchy, since many of these have other motives for calling publicly for reform. They have, no doubt, benefited from existing PNA structures in terms of status, material rewards and other privileges. By riding the reform wagon, a group of upper PNA bureaucrats seeks to keep these privileges. They know that reform is a winning internal and external ticket, but they are limiting their program of reform to issues that do not threaten their interests, for example, the unification or reduction in number of security agencies, the reduction of the number of ministers from 30 to 15 or 18 and even the formation of a "unity government" or leadership. This is an opportunistic position that plays to internal demands for reform and simultaneously sends signals to the external sponsors of "reform."
For most Palestinians, on the other hand, reform of the Palestinian political system is absolutely necessary for motives contrary to those of Israel and the United States. Reform for them is envisaged as the separation of powers, the promulgation of a modern constitution or basic law and the holding of presidential, legislative and local elections. A slimmer and more effective government with credible ministers also finds strong support. In other words, reform is envisaged as an enabling factor for better and more effective, as well as responsible resistance to the Israeli occupation. Palestinians, as shown regularly by public opinion polls, want democracy, transparency and an end to mismanagement and corruption. But they also seek first of all an independent, sovereign and democratic state of Palestine on all Palestinian territory occupied by Israel in 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital and a just and fair solution to the refugee problem in accordance with international legitimacy.

One excellent ingredient in EMK skin care is the berry 'Sea Buckthorn.' Outside the wellness circles, the healing power of this berry is not widely known throughout the western world.
I have always been a big fan of this potent antioxidant, and then I found out that EMK implemented this berry successfully in their skin care treatments. In fact EMK is now a leader in harvesting Sea Buckthorn berries from organic fields in the mountains of Tibet, where purity is the best. They then export the whole organic berry to Germany for purest extraction of the Sea Buckthorn Oil, guaranteeing the highest 100% organic USDA quality. I started to understand that a skin care company could significantly improve the health of my patients.
EMK offers 100% Sea Buckthorn Oil in a food supplement that can be used either topically or orally. Its regular use can contribute to longevity. I had not seen any other company use this potent antioxidant in so many clever ways!
The nutritional and medicinal value of Sea berry, also called Sea buckthorn, is less known in North America, but has been exploited in Eurasia for centuries. The sea buckthorn industry has been thriving in Russia since the 1940s, when scientists there began investigating the biologically active substances found in the fruit, leaves, and bark. They developed products used by their cosmonauts, such as a cream for protection from cosmic radiation.
Sea buckthorn is still being investigated for its ability to reduce the incidence of cancer and also for halting or reversing the growth of cancers. The juice of this berry is a component of many vitamin-rich cosmetic preparations used to reverse the effects of aging. Sea berry juice and its oils are also said to heal burns, eczema, and radiation injury.
The Sea buckthorn berry packs 12 times the amount of vitamin C that can be found in an orange, and it is also the only plant-based source of every possible omega fatty acid. The buckthorn is a shrub that grows abundantly in colder climates of China, Mongolia, Russia, Scandinavia, and Canada.
These tough little berries can withstand bitter winds and have one of the highest levels of vitamin C of any fruit. No wonder it's hailed as the next superfood!
During the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, Sea Buckthorn was even used to help heal the skin of burn victims.
Tibetan locals call Sea Buckthorn "Life Oil" and regard it as a powerful, all-inclusive wonder oil for internal and external use. I call Sea Buckthorn the King of the Superfruits!! Furthermore, I am extremely proud of EMK for making the best use of it, so that it can help as many people as possible!
Sea buckthorn's nutritional profile is unique and impressive. It is the most potent plant source in the world for the elusive Omega-7 fatty acid. This rare Omega fatty acid is undergoing clinical research worldwide and shows impressive advantages for overall well being, cardiovascular health, and oral and digestive care, as well as wonderful beauty perks for glowing hair, skin and nails. Sea buckthorn also contains the strongest antioxidant profile of all superfruits, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), the super antioxidant, along with flavonoids, polyphenols, and over 190 phytonutrients. Alongside Vitamins C, K, E, and minerals of potassium and copper, it also provides Omega-3, -6, and -9 from a vegan source.
The synergy provided by sea buckthorn is two-fold. It provides almost every nutrient the body needs and the synergistic health benefits that no single nutrient can. In terms of essential fatty acids, it has every single one of them, including a near 1:1 ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6, which is considered ideal for humans. With vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and flavonoids, it packs a more potent punch than almost any other food!
Sea buckthorn, in Europe and Asia especially, has traditionally been used to combat radiation sickness. Before cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin went into space, he was provided an unusually large dose of sea buckthorn as a preventative and protective measure against the radiation found in space.
Studies have shown that many nutritional qualities of sea buckthorn may be used as a defense against radiation poisoning. Radiation famously takes the body's immune system down a notch, rendering your body's germ defense capabilities much lower. To counter that, the flavonoid or antioxidant content of sea buckthorn is unusually high. Science is coming around to what Traditional Chinese Medicine has understood for centuries: Sea buckthorn may be an effective burn treatment technique.
One of the most common treatments for various forms of cancer in many stages is, of course, radiation. This is an extension of the Traditional Chinese Medicine connection and the cosmonaut connection: therefore, prolonged exposure to radiation may demand all-natural treatment from sea buckthorn. Traditionally, sea buckthorn is grown and nurtured in high-radiation environments, and has thus become naturally loaded with radiation defenses that can be passed along to you
As you move forward in your understanding of total health and nutrition, you've probably come to the conclusion that simpler is better. Eat your vegetables. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Berries make better. Sea buckthorn is no new product; it has been used for centuries to facilitate total body health.
EMK is my #1 choice for patients when I recommend an anti-aging supportive skin care line that features healthy natural and organic ingredients.

"We've put $30 million into it but we need a replacement hospital."
The Venice area will likely see two new hospitals open up soon. The state Agency for Health Care Administration on Monday issues certificate of need approvals for Sarasota Memorial Hospital to open a 90-bed acute care facility on Laurel Road and for Venice Regional Bayfront Health to open a replacement hospital on East Venice Avenue a quarter mile from its existing location.
"This is a win-win-win for our entire region," said Sarasota Memorial CEO David Verinder. "Patients from south county who now have to drive to our main campus soon will be able to obtain care at a new state-of-the-art hospital… In addition, the new facility will bring our extensive physician base further south, which will support our efforts to establish a future hospital in North Port as well."
At Venice Regional, leaders say they have needed to replace the 312-bed acute care hospital for some time. "It's an older building," said Bob Hite, Venice Regional marketing director. "We've put $30 million into it but we need a replacement hospital."
Bob Moore, Venice Region CEO, says the certificate of need approval allows the hospital to continue providing the chief care to regional patients. "As our community's hometown hospital, Venice Regional has a long history of caring for our friends and neighbors, and we are excited to continue that tradition in a new facility," he says.
The two hospitals have at times been in legal conflict over each one's plans to serve Venice. Either hospital could appeal the certificate of need approval in the next 30 days. But Kim Savage, Sarasota Memorial media public information officer, says the Sarasota hospital has no plans to do so. Hate said he could not speculate on whether Venice Regional would appeal.
Sarasota Memorial officials say it will take about three years to build the new hospital. The hospital already has hired Laurel Road President Sharon Roush to lead efforts to open the new facility, which hospital officials say will be the most significant addition in Sarasota Memorial's 93-year history.
Venice Regional expects to break ground this year or in early 2019, and projects its new hospital will open in early 2021.

Nothing completes a beach trip under the blistering sun quite like a mountainous heap of freshly-churned gelato—it's just the cherry on top! Teleport your toothsome cravings from Sarasota to the capital of Italy, at the gelato bar and cafe dubbed Made In Rome, stationed among the hubbub of the Siesta Key Village. Look no further for a hearty scoop, where you can sample the recently debuted, ever-so-peculiar yet tasty frozen concoction—Activated Charcoal.
As seen on the MTV reality TV show Siesta Key, Made In Rome proudly sports its honor as the first all-organic gelateria on the Key to utilize authentic Italian equipment and curating processes, and houses more than 20 flavors comprising a balance of both traditional Italian flavors like Cioccolato e Nocciola (chocolate hazelnut), Caffe del Professore (Teacher's Coffee) and Croccante All'Amarena (crunchy cherry), as well as universal classics such as key lime pie, banana split and salted caramel. The activated charcoal gelato exhibits an intimidating and mysterious jet black coat, but its taste is nothing short of sumptuous. With a profile of subtle and delicate notes of vanilla, the outlandish flavor will bring an ironic lightness to virtually all who venture into it. The carbon ingredient of activated charcoal proves extremely beneficial to the digestive system, satisfying both the taste buds and the tummy, but beware: it may leave you with an obsidian-stained tongue!
For an equally satisfying beverage, indulge in a rich shake or fine Italian espresso. Made In Rome ensures environmental and dietary consciousness with cups and spoons constructed from 100% recyclable corn fiber, as well as gluten free, kosher and vegan waffle cones.

Sarasota Memorial Hospital's Emergency Care Center is one of just 19 emergency departments across the nation—and the only one in Florida—to earn the prestigious Emergency Nurses Association Lantern Award in 2018. The award recognizes emergency departments that demonstrate excellent practice and innovative performance in leadership, education, advocacy and research. The national honor is a tribute to the SMH's Emergency Care Center's (ECC) "commitment to quality, safety and a healthy work environment," according to the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA), which announced award winners this week. Sarasota Memorial's main campus ECC received the award for a three-year period based on an extensive application that provided evidence of its superior patient and staff satisfaction results and successful performance-improvement programs. SMH's Emergency team shared the outcomes of several quality initiatives, including the reduction of door-to-treatment times and length of patients' stay in the ECC, and the establishment of a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Program to provide supportive, compassionate care to assault victims. The Lantern Award also recognized the department's excellent nurse retention and turnover rates, as well as staff's commitment to professionalism and education, demonstrated by their pursuit of advanced degrees and specialized certifications.
The Community Foundation of Sarasota County has announced the addition of Paul Hudson to its board of directors. The Board has also elected officers: Richard R.

Sarasota Memorial Health Care System has received approval from the state to move ahead with its new hospital in Venice. Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration issued a final order granting the long-awaited "Certificate of Need," which will allow SMH to open a new 90-bed acute care facility on Laurel Road. The approval is the last big hurdle in the multi-year application and approval process. Ultimately, AHCA agreed that SMH's new facility will improve south county residents' access to high-quality, affordable care and ease capacity challenges at its main Sarasota campus due to the large increase in patient volumes in recent years. Meanwhile, Sarasota Memorial continues to move full steam ahead with planning, designing and building the new 65-acre hospital campus. The efforts will be led by new Sarasota Memorial Hospital - Laurel Road President Sharon Roush. It will take about three years to build the new hospital, which will have 90 acute-care beds, 20 beds for observation patients and an Emergency Care Center with 25 treatment rooms.

This is a subject that I have written about before…and it seems to be the subject that pretty much every person I meet wants to ask me about…
…loose skin!
My wonderful body is starting to give me some interesting experiences in the loose skin area. It's not so much the excess of skin, but the weird noises it makes! Seriously…my stomach and legs and bingo wings now fart…I have a problem with body farts! I also have a body that is very pleased with my exercise efforts…as my bingo wings have been clapping and cheering me on all week!
Back in January my Dad pointed me in the direction of a TV show called 'My Baggy Body' which I watched with morbid fascination. I wrote about it back then, and realised that as a loser, and a big one with a long way yet to get to target, I am never quite sure how I feel about the loose skin issue. I have come to the conclusion that I would prefer not to have it obviously, but for me it isn't a major issue. I don't hate my body…I quite like the fact that I am still alive having been to the brink I suppose…and I have my body to thank for that. When I say that it isn't a major issue, it isn't for my mind – as I quite like myself…not so much my body…but myself and I guess all that comes with it!
It is going to be a major issue in terms of the physical nature of dealing with the sheer amount of loose skin left after 30st+ of weight loss. Whilst my mind might have come to terms with the fact that I will never look like Lara Croft, my mind also knows that lugging around the weight of excess skin that I will have is going to be hard. It is already becoming hard. In fact Mr WLB was asking about it yesterday, so I told him to hold out his hands and kind of dropped my stomach onto them…he was shocked at the weight of it…it almost pulls my back out of line causing pain at times. Then there are the hygiene factors…infections, boils…showering twice a day to keep this at bay is working for now…but it is a job that needs keeping on top of…and it's not pleasant!
As it stands at the moment, I am well over halfway in terms of my weight loss. I have bingo wings to rival any of those seen at your local Gala bingo! If I want to see my lady garden area, it either takes some lifting and shifting, or a mirror and a precarious position. So I am just being realistic when I say that skin removal surgery will be a must. I know that it won't give me my dream body, but I know that it will make day to day life a lot easier. It won't make me like myself though…as I am already in love with the wonder that is me!
And no – shapewear, body wraps, creams and all of the exercise in the world will not help prevent the need for this surgery. Seriously – so please, I don't want suggestions on a postcard on this occasion! I do moisturise, I drink plenty of water, eat good protein, do go to the gym, and I will – when I can fit into it – strap on the shapewear. But the simple truth is that after a good decade of extreme excessive eating, I will absolutely be left with an excessive amount of skin. My fault entirely. No need to bury my head in the sand.
This issue is not a mind one, but a physical one. If I was left with a bit of a jelly belly then I would wear it with pride…a badge of honour which represents my journey. I just don't want a badge of honour that I have to throw over my shoulder to stop it dragging on the floor! My life is becoming more and more active, and I want to ride my horses without having my stomach skin resting on their necks, and swinging in time with the kettlebells!
All of this I wrote about back in January…but as I hit my 20st milestone, I recognised that things are getting saggier and baggier! My inner thighs are very wrinkled and saggy, and I have weird fatty deposits on the backs of my legs making them mis-shapen. I have had recent Pilates body fart experiences, which are far worse without clothes on…not that I have tried naked Pilates yet! I am struggling with gym clothing…as I want long tops to cover my saggy tum, need sleeveless tops to lift weights ideally but would also like to keep my bingo wings covered up. One of my challenges to myself is to wear a sleeveless vest at the gym. I would do this at the stables, but the gym is a different story…I am a confident person but there is only so much bingo-wingage that I want to share with the fitness fanatics! I am waiting for a day of 'can't be fecked!' and I will go for it I think!
But it is genuinely okay. I am honestly fine with this situation. I often get messages from people who are almost using the fear of excess skin as a reason for not shifting their excess weight. Whilst I understand these fears, I cannot emphasise enough how I would far rather have the baggy saggy body that I have now, than the life I had at 43st 5.5lbs…seriously, there is no competition.
Who knows how bad it will get? I certainly won't be getting anywhere close to my target without having bits chopped off…and I have two bits that I fancy adding a little to too! But we shall see…the journey continues.
I know that in terms of cost, I am looking at £60,000 to pay privately for the surgery I need. I do not have even a tenth of this…or a twentieth! But I will sort something out…I always do. There are options of cheaper surgery in places such as Belgium…but with so many horror stories both in the UK and abroad, it is something that I will need to start looking into. I think an appointment with a surgeon would be useful so that I can start planning. The problem is, it won't be much fun planning for something like that…so I will end up leaving it until the last minute!
So that's it from me tonight…I am taking my saggy baggy body up to the Scottish Highlands tomorrow and have a very early start – I am leaving at 4am to hit the roads whilst things are quiet. My day has been incredibly busy – I squeezed in an early morning workout before heading to sort the horses out. I needed a poo sample from one and then had to worm him. Then I bought the others in and got them ready for the dentist…one has to be sedated as he tries to kill them! Then I groomed all three of them and put them back out eventually once the dentists had been. They are lovely – we chatted about weight, fitness…and saggy skin! Then I caught up with the lady who is looking after the horses for me, headed to the shops, and filled up with petrol. I had a weird altercation at the petrol station. I pulled up behind a man who had been sat there for a while, and he eventually put his reverse lights on…for what reason, I couldn't see as there space in front of him and he was parked next to the pump. Then as he pulled forward, so did I…only for him to slam into reverse, see me in the spot and go crazy. He then reversed around me at high speed and went to another pump…all he had to do was ask me to move and I would have done…although quite what he had been fannying around about originally, I have no idea! So he then shouts something about my weight…to which I said, 'I've already lost 20st mate…all you've lost is your dignity and your petrol pump space…I think I know who's winning in this situation!'…which got me a cheer from two men who had witnessed it! Then I headed home to clean out the car, pack the suitcase, clean the house, prepare all of my Slimming World food for the journey tomorrow…and am now trying to get some rest before getting up at stupid o'clock tomorrow morning!
Please bear with me whilst I am on holiday…I will be blogging but I warn you that there will be lots of scenery pictures and probably not much deep and meaningful stuff as I will be too busy eating seafood!
Breakfast: Banana, boiled egg, and Linda Mc sausages.
Lunch: Noodles and broccoli stir-fry.
Dinner: Sweet potato, cheese, Linda Mc's, veggies, and ratatouille (2 x HEA).
Snacks: Nuts (2 x HEB), and Nakd bars (11.5).
Another good food day. Brekkie was a strange one, but I only had one egg left and so had to get creative…it was lovely! Lunch was just something quick and simple during a busy day – a packet of chilli low fat Supernoodles with a pack of broccoli stir-fry. Dinner was of the déjà vu variety…same as last night! Purely as it has been a busy day and I couldn't think of anything that I fancied other than the lovely meal last night. And my snacks were my tasty Nakd bars and nuts.
Exercise: 5 minutes treadmill, 60 minutes weights, 5 minutes treadmill.
Thank you for reading,
