Don't let rice, drug smugglers go unpunished: Partido Liberal officials
Partido Liberal members on Monday called on the government to investigate the attempted smuggling of rice worth P67.9 million off Zamboanga Sibugay recently.
"Panagutin natin ang mga smugglers na nagpapayaman habang lalong nagugutom ang mga Pilipino," said Sen. Bam Aquino.
"Imbestigahan na para malaman kung sino ang sangkot sa smuggling ng bigas. Posibleng pare-pareho ang mga sindikatong nagpapasok ng droga at iba pang illegal goods sa bansa," added Sen. Aquino.
Sen. Francis Pangilinan, for his part, lauded the Naval Forces Western Mindanao for intercepting the rice shipment off Olutanga Island in Zamboanga Sibugay on Saturday night.
According to reports, Naval Task Force 61 intercepted M/V Diamond 8, which was found to be carrying 27,180 sacks or around 1,359 metric tons of Vietnam rice.
"We laud the Navy for doing its job of protecting our territorial waters from bad elements and from those who are trying to make quick money out of our countrymen," said Pangilinan.
Former lawmaker Erin Tanada, now Partido Liberal's vice president for external affairs, said the government must identify and punish those responsible for this smuggling attempt.
"Baka matulad na naman ito sa isyu ng P6.4-billion na shabu smuggling na hindi napapanagot ang mga pangunahing sangkot," said Tanada.

Yellow is a delightful and energetic selection for concert and festival performance. As the third movement from Krisanna's Colors, the piece is inspired by her color choice used to describe a bright, happy and energetic day. The infectious melody is presented throughout the band including a fugue statement. You may consider programming Yellow (Mvt. 3) along with Blue (Mvt. 2) for even greater effect. An excellent choice for your concert/festival program!

IT Band Tightness – Baseball/Barbell Smash
Here is a video where I show you an extreme myofascial release of the IT band.
Tight IT bands can often lead to pain in the knees and lower back, due to the fact that they are proximal to both of those regions in the body.
IT band restriction is very common in people who do not rotate well.
Since the transverse plane of motion is almost entirely absent in most training programs and people in general, the body then uses the other two planes of motion for movement and stability (sagittal plane and frontal plane).
Consequently, the IT band then gets over loaded because of its role in stabilizing through excessive frontal plane movement.
This then creates fascia distortions throughout the lateral border of the thigh.
By getting into the IT band in an aggressive manner, via the use of a barbell and baseball, we will release a major player in lateral movement deficiency.
The result is a more functional body that moves better in all planes of motion.
***Keep in mind that we are not lengthening the IT band. We are releasing the adhesion of the IT band to the Vastus Lateralus (outer quadricep). The goal here is the separation of tissues so that they may work together more harmoniously in a rhythmic fashion.
Mobilize intentionally,
Not habitually,
Featured Products
Hello, this is Naudi Aguilar of Functional Patterns. For today's video, I'm gonna show you a myofascial release technique to help relieve tension off the IT band, or the lateral border of the thigh. In recent years, an awareness has emerged on this region of the body, as a result of people now becoming more conscious of how their body works as an integrated system.
The problem is, that most these people involved in structural movement, things like functional training, are still working in the sagittal plane, almost exclusively. You're really just moving in a straightforward, linear fashion. The problem is, that the human being is not adapted in moving in that context. We don't move as a bilateral organism. This is kind of like how a kangaroo would move. Kangaroos move at the sagittal plane. Human beings have actually adapted to move in a unilateral stance, where we involve rotation of the trunk and a contralateral reciprocation of the upper and lower limbs of the body.
Now, we have to understand that, if you don't use something, you're going to lose it. Since most people, in general, don't rotate with their body, they're going to lose that function with their body. Let's say, if you're thinking about doing functional movement throughout the day, if you don't train this, you're going to lose it. So therefore, your body is then, going to have backup systems for stability, for power, for performance. For our specific concern, we have to think about the IT band.
Well, if you lose rotation, you have to think that your body's either gonna compensate with sagittal plane movement, like with lumbar extension, which is very common, or kyphosis, or it's also going to compensate with a lateral movement. So, we have sagittal plane, moving straightforward and back. We have lateral movement, which is gonna be the frontal plane, and that's what people, in general, also compensate with. If we look at the IT band, it's right here, smack dab on the lateral border of the thigh.
So, whenever you're working in dysfunction and you're not good at rotating, what's gonna be coupled with that, is going to be a tightness on that IT band. So essentially, what we're gonna focus on today, is trying to break up the adhesions on the IT band. We're not gonna try and stretch out the IT band, because that's virtually impossible. So, what we're gonna focus on, is trying to break up the adhesions from the IT band, to the vastus lateralis, and we're gonna do that via the usage of a lacrosse ball.
Now, I will warn that this is an extreme myofascial release technique, and that if you've never done myofascial release, I would not recommend doing this given technique. You may want to start off with some kind of a foam roller or a medicine ball, and work your way up to the point where you're actually going to do this specific technique, with these tools. So, I'll have you guys follow me, over here.
So, what we're gonna need for this myofascial release technique … I'm gonna be utilizing a barbell. We're gonna us a … I like to use a muay thai pad. This is for me. It's available to me. This is what I'm going to use. If you have some kind of cushion, it should be able to work the same. And, I have an optional weight here, and my myofascial release tool is actually going to be a baseball.
This is very advanced. Again, I don't recommend everybody go straight to a baseball, because the IT band, generally, tends to be a pretty painful area for somebody to work on. But, if you're already progressed, this is a really great tool. It's a couple bucks, it really does do a great job.
So essentially, I learned this from one of my students. She's one of master trainers. Her name's [Vadonna Bahich 00:03:15]. She's from Functional Patterns, Middle East. I learned this technique, so shouts out to you Vadonna.
Alright, so what we're going to be doing here, is I'm gonna be laying on my side. So really, what I'm gonna do is, I'm going to rest the ball on top of my thigh, here. So, what I want to do is rest this here, so that way the bar is not going directly on my thigh. I'm gonna then grab the barbell and place it on top of my thigh, and then lay on my side here, as you guys can see. So now, I have a … There's a good spacing here. I don't have any pressure going on my thigh. From there, I'm going to bring the baseball underneath my IT band, and I'm going to bring my leg over the top of that.
Now, one thing I like about an effective myofascial release, is one when I don't have to do anything. As you guys see, right now, an effective … You'll see that this is giving me great effect, because I have the weight of the barbell dropping on top of this trigger point, but I'm not straining myself. If you look at most IT band releases, or any myofascial releases for that matter, there's always some kind of strain involved, where you're having to stabilize you're body. Sometimes, what that can do, is create some kind of a neurological activation of the entire fascia network, and then that begins to … Like, it can cut off the capability of you releasing that given muscle. So, when you're more relaxed, since the body is entirely relaxed, it's quite likely that the IT band's going to relax, here, and that you'll get a much more effective release.
So, I usually just like going in here, hitting that lateral border of that thigh, letting it just kind of settle in there. We'll be trying moving around. I mean, get a little bit into the parts of the vastus lateralis, and then move a little bit posteriorly, almost, to where you're almost close to your hamstring. Really explore it, when you're in this area. Again, this is an obvious progression, just having this thing on there. But, for me, since I'm more experienced, I would actually grab a weight and put it on the barbell, and then let that sucker sit on, on top of that.
So usually, I don't move too often. Maybe, if I do move in increments, it may be like, increments of maybe one millimeter to another. Maybe, as far as a centimeter, but I typically don't move too much while I'm releasing that. I kind of just let my body sink into the ball.
You can hang out there for a period of about, anywhere between two to five minutes, and that should be more than enough. You can then, switch sides, when you need to. It's a great technique. Like I said before, it's an advanced technique. I only recommend doing it after you've, obviously, adapted yourself towards using like, a medicine ball or a foam roller, and that's kind of gotten boring for you.
You have to understand that, if you want to address dysfunction on your body, it takes an extreme approach. If you are taking a passive approach, like a foam roller, you're only going to get so far. We have to understand that human being have adapted into a culture that's not beneficial of our DNA as human being. Human adapted over the course of millions of years, to walk on two feet, and essentially be able to move upright, and when we sit ourselves at a desk for 10 hours a day, that is an extreme adaptation. Extreme deficiency, it requires extreme measures, if we expect to correct those deficiencies.
So, here's an extreme technique that you can use. I would also recommend implementing more rotation, working on your posture, so you can get that rotation back, so that way you can also get at the root of this deficiency. What we have to realize is, this is all a building process. This technique is going to also help your thoracic rotation, because we if we eliminate a dysfunction at the IT band, it's gonna travel up the kinetic chain.
So, here's one more thing that you can employ into your functional training program. I do hope that you guys enjoyed it, and I will see you guys next time. This is Naudi Aguilar at Functional Patterns, reminding you to stretch intentionally, and not habitually.

More information about the camp weeks, work days, and other activities will be available on the camp's website over the next few weeks.
There are many great opportunities for campers of all ages to experience God's wonders at Woodland. The camp board and camp directors have been busy preparing for the 2010 camp season. We hope many will participate.
The first opportunities at camp this spring will be for camp preparation. Designated Work Saturdays in May are scheduled. We plan to have a second Open House in late May. Please note the dates of Senior, Junior, Intermediate, and Senior Citizens Weeks and Beginners Day Camp. We are excited to have two new offerings this year. The first is a Fish & Work Week in May thanks to J.R. Satterfield. Later in the year, there will be a Middle School & HIgh School Retreat in late September under the direction of Jeff Adams and Larry Bryant. We are very pleased to have Music Week back on the schedule and greatly appreciate Joan Marsh and Jon Adams making this possible. We would also like to welcome Jon Kisel, Justin Adams, and Tim Parrott as new directors for Senior Week. We are thrilled to have Sonny Childs and the MAPsters partnering with Woodland during Senior Week. We also want to encourage our young campers, ages 4 -8, for Beginners Day Camp in July. We appreciate Erin Borders and Valerie Hall for making that a special day for those getting acquainted with camp. In September, please remember Woodland's Homecoming and Annual Meeting.
We are looking forward to a wonderful 2010 camp season at Woodland. We are thankful for so many individuals and churches who have been a part of this ministry for the past 56 years. We praise God for His goodness.
Thank you very much.

When Kate was 18 months old she suffered a serious episode of Cyclical Vomiting Plus Syndrome. We did not know what it was called at the time, we called these episodes of frequent acute illness her 'episodes'. We had been seeking help for Kate for months. We were looking for guidance and leadership for her diagnostically and with care for her multiple medical conditions. We had excellent specialists involved, but without a unifying diagnosis, no one seemed prepared to take the lead on Kate's case.
April 23rd, 2009
Kate and I arrived to the emergency department at 5:30 p.m. It was early evening, and there was an line up literally out the doors of the emergency department. Kids with their parents looking feverish, snotty, coughing, crying and generally unhappy. As I stood in line with Kate, she had become very quiet. She dozed against my shoulder and didn't seem to have the energy to lift her head. The fight had gone out of her. For a moment I thought to myself, "maybe I'm wrong about this – maybe she's fine and really not that bad – this is a long line up, perhaps we should just go home". As we arrived at the triage desk, a young mom rushed by yelling for a nurse. Her daughter had cut her finger on a sharp can. There was a bloody bandage on the finger and a flap of skin that looked pretty gross. But the bleeding had stopped and the nurse calmly guided the mother to a seat and told her the finger looked ok and that she would need to wait her turn for triage. Kate and I approached the desk, handed over our health card, and in my fatigued state I tried to briefly relay what had been going on for the past several days/weeks. It was/is almost impossible to relate what is 'wrong' with Kate in a short conversation. I should have asked, "Do you have 20 minutes"?
When I mentioned that Kate was being followed by metabolics at CHEO that seemed to get things moving a little more quickly. Kate was taken back for a triage assessment at which point everything moved at an accelerated pace. Kate had high blood pressure,her oxygen saturation levels were in the mid 70s, and she was tachycardic (very high heart rate). She was marked as 'emergent' on her chart and Kate was taken to a 'resus room' which is an area of the emergency department where children are taken for immediate treatment. We were soon surrounded by doctors and nurses who were assessing and treating Kate. Bloodwork was immediately taken and the team worked to get an IV into Kate so that they could provide IV bolus, which is a large volume of fluid given over a short period of time. Kate was acidotic – indicative of severe dehydration.
The metabolics team was called, and the resident ordered a full metabolic work up on kate. The ICU (Intensive Care Unit) was also called for a consult and ordered a portable chest x-ray for Kate as they were considering pneumonia and started immediately treating her with an antibiotic. Zofran was also ordered to combat the nausea and dry heaving. The emergency team also considered administering chloral hydrate – the sedative that had been prescribed for Kate which we had not yet used. The idea was breaking the 'cycle' of pain and irritability she was in. Neurology was consulted, and felt this was ok, but as her parents we objected and expressed our concern that with low O2 saturation and the pH levels she had, we were not comfortable sedating her.
By 11:30 p.m. that evening, Kate had received 5 IV bolus of fluid. She was still in emergency resus and was being transferred to the PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit). Dr.C had been paged and was coming to see Kate in the morning.
At 2 a.m. Kate and I arrived at the PICU. Kate was now on oxygen to help facilitate her O2 saturation. She was acutely acidodic with a very high anion discrepancy. She received further IV bolus and now had potassium added to the fluid in order to balance her electrolytes.
At 3 a.m. the team required further bloodwork to assess Kate's condition. Kate's body was in a such a state of dehydration and shock that the nurses were unable to locate a vein to get blood. Kate was poked in the arms, wrists, hands, feet, and head multiple times. Despite her severe state, Kate cried – producing no tears. Then she slowly began to give up and not fight any longer. I held her each time she was poked and tried to reassure her, knowing that this was all so awful, but necessary. The anesthesiology resident was called to try and access a vein – with no success – and at this point I had asked to excuse myself to a chair. I couldn't restrain Kate any longer. The toll on me emotionally was too much. The VAT (veinous access team) were called – with no success. Finally, after about 2 hours of attempts to draw blood the team decided to try an arterial blood draw which was performed by the anesthesiology resident. Blood was finally taken.
Over the course of that night, I lay in bed with Kate stroking her head. She was sleepy, but fitful and clearly exhausted. It seemed I could not comfort her, and I felt at a loss of what to do.
The next morning was a flurry of activity with consultations with Dr.C (metabolics); Dr.D (neurology); Dr.G (nephrology); and, Dr.S (endocrinology) – all specialists that continue to follow Kate to this day as part of the medical team at CHEO. More blood was taken and urine samples were analyzed. Kate was scheduled for a CT and MRI Spectroscopy. (MRI Spectroscopy measures biochemical changes in the brain. While MRI identifies anatomical abnormalities, MR spectroscopy compares the chemical composition of normal brain tissue with abnormal tumor tissue). I called Dr.S and he came to see Kate that afternoon to discuss the situation – but mostly to support me, for which I am ever grateful. The focus for that day was stabilizing the severe acidosis due to dehydration. My focus was on trying to make Kate more comfortable and to have the team help her with her pain.
April 25th
Kate had a difficult night of restless 'sleeping'. She moaned during the night as was clearly uncomfortable. She seemed less responsive than the previous day. She put up no fight with the nurses or bloodwork. What was most unsettling to me is that she would look at me, but not seem to really see me. Her oxygen saturation levels were still very low and the team was conferring on what to do next. It was decided that they would do another chest xray, and that a lumbar puncture might be appropriate to check for meningitis. Nephrology were considering many renal failure scenarios based on Kate's urinalysis and metabolic concerns. Kate's labs were indicative of a condition called renal tubular acidosis, which is not a diagnosis but a symptom of a further condition. In Kate's case it was finally determined to be transient (occuring in isolation and not chronic). Kate's unrine had protein in it and hypercalciurea (a significant loss of calcium), a condition she continues to be treated for to this day. The team felt this might help explain the acidosis, but it was not telling the full story, so an immediate ultrasound of Kate's kidneys was ordered.
That evening, Kate's CT results came back and appeared normal. A LP (lumbar puncture) was ordered for that evening – those results were also normal. Kate was starting to be a bit more awake. She was opening her eyes and watching me. She was begining to sip from a bottle. As long as she was given medication for discomfort, she seemed to settle and be able to sleep. I made a list of what was being considered:
– elevated aldosterone levels
– Sistenosis (lab samples sent for testing)
– Pearson Syndrome (now ruled to be 'not likely')
– Thiamine Resistant Megaloblastic Anemia (awaiting test results)
– Mitochondrial DNA deletion sequencing (now ruled 'not likely')
– lactate levels
– echocardiogram to examine enlarged heart that was identified via chest xray in PICU
– sideroblastic anemia
– developmental delay
– delayed myelnation on MRI
– lethargy and irritability (ongoing)
– acidocity
I also added to my list that our biggest question and issue for discussion was how to manage further episodes – a plan, and to have a letter for emergency to give to triage.
April 27th
Kate had stabilized enough to move her from PICU to the floor on 4 East. I was nervous about the move. You get into a sort of state with the constant care and fishbowl existance of PICU that you become a bit dependant on the level of care. Kate was still not well, but she was stable and she became a little more of our responsibility to care for.
She remained on oxygen and IV fluids. I was beyond exhausted, but unwilling to leave Kate. Brian and I finally decided on a 'day' shift/ 'night' shift role that we continue to this day. I would do the day when there was the most action with specialists, and Brian would stay the night with Kate. We entered a routine of coaxing fluids and food into her, weighing diapers, administering medication, facilitating exams by nurses and the medical team. Kate was slowly recovering and there was nothing to be done but to support her as she slowly came out of her episode. Exams and tests were ordered and my mom arrived to lend support as well. An MRA was added to the list of tests as was testing for biotinase deficiency and a skin biopsy. (MRA, magnetic resonance angiography is used to generate images of the arteries in order to evaluate them abnormal narrowing, occlusion or narrowing and risk for rupture.)
The team had been conferring about Kate's case during this admission and were clearly in agreement with us that something needed to be done to better facilitate the coordination of her care. A social worker from neurology was assigned to Kate's case, and Kate was referred to the palliative care program.
A note about pediatric palliative care:
When people hear that Kate is a palliative care patient, they often looked shocked and concerned. It's important to know that pediatric palliative care is different from that of the adult population. Palliative care in the peds population does involve 'end of life' care, but it is much more thant that. Palliative care patients in the pediatric population are children who have life limiting disease, and who require pain management and respite support. Kate qualified for both of these.
Kate's medical team also organized the much awaited and requested medical meeting to discuss her case. As her parents, we asked for 3 specific items to be discussed:
1) That we be referred for a second opinion concerning Kate's case, and that the following be discussed:
– where would we go for this second opinion – when will this happen – what specialties will we meet with
2) That we wanted a crisis letter for medical triage at CHEO emergency department which would include: an intervention/treatment guide for Kate's episodes.
3) We asked for a discussion about better managing Kate's discomfort/irritability/pain during her episodes.
April 30th
Kate continues to have discomfort and difficulty sleeping. Her IV is moved from her foot to her hand as the 1st site has become swollen and red. Kate successfully manages a general anesthetic administered so that the team can image for a MRI, MRS and MRA.
The team conference is held and we are invited to come in at the end of the meeting to hear what the team has decided for Kate.
Kate will be referred to Sick Kids in Toronto to examine bone marrow failure and her bloodwork will be examined by a lab in Boston specifically for sideroblastic anemia.
Kate will also be seen at Sick Kids by neurology and metabolics by a colleague of Dr.C.
Dr.B, Kate's gastroenterologist has outlined further tests for Kate to explore the GI issues she is having, i.e. cyclical vomiting.
The referral letters will take 1-3 months and we will be supported by CHEO social work in making any arrangements.
Dr.Sp is now Kate's palliative care doctor. He gives us a tour of Rogers House and discusses his role in pain management and palliative care support for Kate.
CHEO has also committed that Kate will have better coordination within hospital upon discharge, and that her discharge summary from this hospitalization will included a triage letter for the emergency department.
On May 4th, Kate is discharged from CHEO. She has not returned to her 'baseline' and is still unwell, but she is stable and has been continuing to improve. We discuss sleeping issues, discomfort, and fluid intake with the discharge planning nurse and clarify the procedures for the next episode Kate might (will) have.
We took Kate home after 2 weeks in hospital, but it was not to last long.

The film will begin production later this summer
It's official – Downton Abbey the movie is in the works with the original star cast of the TV series reuniting for the film.
Producers said that the "original principal cast" from the period drama will return for the movie, to begin production later this summer.
Downton's creator Julian Fellowes wrote the new screenplay and will also co-produce the hotly anticipated film.
The announcement has followed fevered speculation about when the ITV drama, starring Hugh Bonneville, Michelle Dockery, Dame Maggie Smith, Laura Carmichael, Jim Carter and others, would make it to the big-screen.
Michelle, who played Lady Mary Crawley, wrote on Instagram: "The secret's out… Thrilled to announce that Downton Abbey is coming to the big screen."
Joanne Froggatt, who played Anna Bates, tweeted a snap of herself alongside Dockery and Dame Maggie Smith (who played Lady Crawley), writing: "Delighted to announce we're getting the band back together!"
Brian Percival, whose credits include The Book Thief and About A Girl and who directed the series' pilot, will direct the film.
The film's producer Gareth Neame said in a statement: "When the television series drew to a close it was our dream to bring the millions of global fans a movie and now, after getting many stars aligned, we are shortly to go into production.
"Julian's script charms, thrills and entertains and in Brian Percival's hands we aim to deliver everything that one would hope for as Downton comes to the big screen".
Peter Kujawski, chairman of production company Focus Features, said: "Since the series ended, fans of Downton have long been waiting for the Crawley family's next chapter.
"We're thrilled to join this incredible group of filmmakers, actors and craftspeople, led by Julian Fellowes and Gareth Neame, in bringing back the world of Downton to the big screen."
Hit TV series Downton Abbey followed the lives of the Crawley family and the servants who worked for them at the turn of the 20th Century in an Edwardian English country home.
Over six series, it became the most nominated non-US television show in the history of the Emmys.
Phyllis Logan, who played housekeeper Mrs Hughes, told the Mail On Sunday in December that the cast had been consulted about when they are available and added: "There's a potential script coming our way, slightly rewritten."
The final episode of Downton aired on December 25, 2015 on ITV.

Title: The Eagle Has Landed
Author: Jack Higgins
Higgins, Jack (1975). The Eagle Has Landed. London: Collins
PZ4.H6367 Eag
Date Posted: April 9, 2015
The Eagle Has Landed is a book by Jack Higgins set during World War II. It first published in 1975. It was made into a film of the same name in 1976 starring Michael Caine, Donald Sutherland, Jenny Agutter and Robert Duvall. The plot has similarities with that of Went the Day Well?, a film made during World War II.
As of mid-2010, it had sold over 50 million copies.
The book makes use of the false document technique, and opens with Higgins describing his discovery of the concealed grave of thirteen German paratroopers in an English graveyard. What follows was inspired by the real life rescue of Hitler's ally Benito Mussolini by Otto Skorzeny. A similar idea is considered by Hitler, with the strong support of Himmler. Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, head of the Abwehr (German military intelligence), is ordered to make a feasibility study of the seemingly impossible task of capturing British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and bringing him to the Reich.
Canaris realizes that although Hitler will soon forget the matter, Himmler will not. Fearing Himmler may try to discredit him, Canaris orders one of his officers, Oberst Radl to undertake the study, despite feeling that it is all just a waste of time and effort.
An Unteroffizier on Radl's staff finds that one of their spies, code named Starling, has provided a tantalizing piece of intelligence. "At any other time, in any other place, this information would be useless", Radl said. "And then synchronicity rears its disturbing head." Winston Churchill is scheduled to spend a relaxing weekend at a country house near the village of Studley Constable, Norfolk. There Joanna Grey, an Afrikaner woman and longtime Abwehr agent, lives. She detests England because she was abused and raped by British soldiers, and her husband, daughter, and parents were killed during the Anglo-Boer War. As a result of her reports, Radl devises a detailed plan to intercept Churchill and return with him to Germany. Although Radl is certain the plan has real possibilities, Admiral Canaris orders him to abandon it.
Himmler, however, has already learned of the scheme and summons Radl. He orders him to proceed, but without notifying Canaris. In response, Radl arranges for Liam Devlin, a member of the Irish Republican Army, to be smuggled to Norfolk by way of Northern Ireland. Posing as a wounded veteran of the British Army, he contacts Mrs. Grey, who arranges a position for him as game warden to the estate of Studley Grange. While awaiting further developments, Devlin becomes romantically involved with Molly Prior, a girl from the village.
Meanwhile, Radl selects of a team of commandos to carry out the operation, led by a disgraced Fallschirmjäger commander, Lieutenant Colonel Kurt Steiner. While returning from the Eastern Front, Steiner had intervened when SS soldiers were rounding up Jews at a railway station in Poland. To the outrage of the SS and Polizei, he took one of their men hostage and helped a teenage Jewess to escape on a passing freight train. For this he was court-martialled, along with his men, who backed his actions. Too highly decorated to face a firing squad, Steiner and his men were allowed to transfer to a penal unit in the Channel Islands. There they are forced to make high-risk attacks with manned torpedoes against Allied ships in the English Channel.
Radl travels to Alderney and recruits Steiner and his surviving men. Steiner's father, General Steiner, is being tortured by the Gestapo for his alleged ties to the German Resistance. This serves as an additional incentive for the Colonel to accept the mission. Radl relocates Steiner and his men to an airfield on the north western coast of Holland, where they familiarize themselves with the British weapons and equipment they will be using. The team will be air dropped into Norfolk via a captured C-47 Dakota with Allied markings. The commandos outfit themselves as Free Polish troops, as few of them speak English; the plan is to infiltrate Studley Constable, capture Churchill, rendezvous with an E-boat at the nearby coast and make their escape.
At first, the plan seems to go off without a hitch. Then, however, one of Steiner's NCOs rescues a young girl who fell into a mill race. He is killed by the water wheel and his German uniform (worn, by Himmler's order, under the Polish uniforms, as protection against being executed as spies) is seen by several of the villagers. Determined to continue the mission, Steiner arranges for the locals to be rounded up, but the sister of Father Vereker, the local priest, escapes and alerts a nearby unit of US Army Rangers. Colonel Robert Shafto, an inexperienced but glory-seeking officer, rallies his forces to retake the hostages. Without notifying headquarters, he orders a foolhardy assault in which many Americans are killed. After the Colonel is shot in the head by Mrs. Grey, Major Kane organizes a second, successful attack.
Steiner, his second-in-command Ritter von Neumann, and Devlin manage to escape with the aid of a local girl, Molly Prior, who had become romantically involved with the Irishman. Determined to finish the mission, Steiner allows Devlin and Neumann to escape without him and decides to make one last attempt at Churchill. He succeeds in reaching Churchill, but hesitates, is shot and supposedly killed. (However, Steiner reappears alive in The Eagle Has Flown, a sequel.) In Germany, Radl has had a heart attack, implied to be fatal, although at about the same time, Himmler, upon discovering that the mission has failed, orders Radl's arrest for high treason.
As in many novels of Higgins, this story is surrounded by a "frame story" with a prologue and epilogue. The author, while doing historical research in Norfolk, supposedly meets various surviving characters. Some paperback editions have more historical backstory than others, including a meeting with an older Liam Devlin[1] in a Belfast hotel. The final revelation comes from an aged and terminally ill Father Vereker: "Churchill" had been an impersonator and even if the mission had succeeded, it would not have mattered.
This book was condensed in Readers' Digest Condensed Books (1975, Vol. 105, Winter)
[1] Devlin appears in several futureHiggins' novels, being turned and becoming an agent for British intelligence.

Thank you for taking the survey on the long-range goals for the transportation system in the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The survey is now closed. Your input will be used to update and finalize the goals and objectives for the GGH Transportation Plan.
Please refer to this list to find answers to Frequently Asked Questions about the GGH Transportation Plan. If you have a different question, let us know at the email address below.
Q1: Will there be opportunities to get involved or provide feedback on future project phases?
Yes, there will be opportunities to provide feedback at all major milestones for the plan. Contact us to be added to the distribution list for periodic project updates.
Q2: Why do we need a transportation plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe?
The Ministry of Transportation strives to be a world leader in moving people and goods safely, efficiently and sustainably to support a globally competitive economy and a high quality of life. Over the next 25 years the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH) will grow to 13.5 million people. An overarching transportation plan for the GGH will identify the necessary actions and help MTO and the Province optimize the significant investments being made to address mobility and congestion in the GGH. It will guide and support all of the Province's transportation investment decisions and coordinate strategic planning across the region for the next 30 years and beyond.
Q3: What modes of transportation will be considered?
The GGH Transportation Plan will consider all modes of transportation, including roads and highways, railways, air, marine, public transit, cycling and walking for all ages and abilities. The Plan will also look at new and emerging mobility models and technologies, such as automated and connected vehicles and drone technology.
Q4: What's different about the GGH Transportation Plan?
As part of the GGH Transportation Plan, MTO will go beyond traditional demand forecasting and analysis and will look ahead 50+ years to identify and assess future transportation issues and opportunities, including the potential impact of major shifts in economic structure, environmental conditions and technology.
We are taking a new, visionary approach to make sure the Plan will be resilient to rapidly changing society and disruptive technologies.
Q5: When will the Plan be completed?
The GGH planning work will take place over three years and is anticipated to be completed in early 2019.
Q6: The Province recently updated the 4 provincial land use plans, including the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe and the Greenbelt Plan. How does this relate to the updated plans?
MTO was a full participant in the coordinated review process and the development of transportation updates and amendments to the provincial plans (The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, The Greenbelt Plan, The Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and the Niagara Escarpment Plan).
The GGH Transportation Plan is a longer-term planning initiative to inform and support the Province's transportation investments in the Greater Golden Horseshoe for the next 30 years. The GGH Transportation Plan will help identify transportation strategies to improve the provincial land use plans and support more integrated land use and transportation planning.
Q7: How is the GGH Transportation Plan related to the Metrolinx Regional Transportation Plan (RTP)?
The GGH Transportation Plan will help the Province optimize its investments, and provide municipalities and Metrolinx with strategic directions on transportation planning that are coordinated in a broader geography.
In the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA), the GGH Transportation Plan will build on many of the excellent policies/strategies in the RTP, particularly for transit, and will also assess the appropriateness/applicability of expanding similar transit or active transportation strategies to the rest of the GGH.
MTO will work closely with Metrolinx in the development of the GGH Transportation Plan.

Fleming's paper is available here (PDF) or in Transactions of the Alabama Historical Society, Volume IV (huge PDF).
Previous Parts: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Jefferson Buford had his money and his men. He named places to gather and aimed to set out for Kansas in April, 1856. From the start, Buford planned a military expedition. In January, he informed the world that he would take no noncombants and outlined an organization which would have companies and officers. This all put him into a very awkward position come February, when Franklin Pierce issued his law and order proclamation, where he specifically called out
persons residing without the Territory, but near its borders, contemplate armed intervention in the affairs thereof; it also appearing that other persons, inhabitants of remote States, are collecting money, engaging men, and providing arms for the same purpose
Contemplating armed intervention in Kansas affairs? Collecting money? Engaging men? Providing arms? From remote states? This has as much Jefferson Buford as Ely Thayer written all over it, though given Pierce's record he almost certainly intended only antislavery emigrant aid operations. Still, the president
call[ed] on the citizens, both of adjoining and of distant States, to abstain from unauthorized intermeddling in the local concerns of the Territory, admonishing them that its organic law is to be executed with impartial justice, that all individual acts of illegal interference will incur condign punishment, and that any endeavor to intervene by organized force will be firmly withstood.
Most probably, Pierce would still do nothing against Missourians. Buford's party might warrant different treatment, particularly with how he had spread it all over the papers and talked openly about how they would go to fight. Should the proslavery president and the proslavery filibuster come into conflict, that might end awkwardly for everyone. Thus Buford sent out the word in March that his men would not go to Kansas armed.
That settled, they got going. At Buford's hometown, Eufaula, a hundred men departed on March 31. Buford himself led them out. They stopped at Columbus, Georgia, and collected almost as many again. Some opted to pay their own way and set off straight for Kansas via Nashville, but Buford's party made it to Montgomery as planned, arriving on April 4.
There were now collected here about three hundred and fifty men, of whom one hundred were from South Carolina, fifty were Georgians, one was from Illinois, one from Boston, and the rest were Alabamians. The Alabama Journal of this date characterizes the emigrants collected in Montgomery as a superior class of young men, quiet, gentlemanly, temperate. Later, some members of the party seem not to have deserved this praise.
Montgomery rolled out the welcome mat for Buford and company, hosting a reception where his lieutenant Alpheus Baker gave "a stirring address" that sounds like a standard proslavery affair: ever since the Missouri Compromise, the South had suffered under "unjust" laws and abolitionist attack. The final battle of the sections would come in Kansas, where
Her chivalrous sons must come to the rescue, to uphold and maintain their constitutional rights and protect their institutions.

This vehicle has tons of cargo and passenger space, updated convenience and entertainment features, plus the safety we know you want for your family. Now, for only $595, you can get some extra sleek style details thrown in, too.
According to carscoops, this model is going to seriously turn some heads with a new pack that adds special black accents both inside and out. The S appearance package has already proved a fan-favorite in the regular gas model, so they figured why not try it out with the hybrid, too? So you don't have to sacrifice those fun aesthetic details for efficiency.
"The factory custom look of the S Appearance model is really resonating with our Pacifica buyers, so much so that we are now making it available on the Pacifica Hybrid model as well," stated FCA exec, Steve Beahm. "With 84 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe) in electric-only mode and 33 miles of all-electric range this package makes the industry's only hybrid minivan even more unique."
The upgrades basically come down to sleek black accents on the exterior like a black roof rack and "Black Noise" wheels for example, plus Light Diesel Gray accents and stitching on the interior. There will also be Anodized Ice Cave bezel accents throughout the vehicle. At our Chrysler dealership near Saline, no request is too big or too small. We are happy to help in any way we can on your journey to finding the perfect vehicle for you and your family, and the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid might just be it. Stop by and find out today!

What's the difference between a Superlatte and a Super Latte? To a fledgling South African beverage business, a lot. To Woolworths, not so much.
It was June, 2017. My business, Superlatte, had been in operation for a year since launching a market stall at Cape Town's OZCF Market in June of 2016. As a self-funded startup in the food and beverage industry, I'd survived a long and tough first year, but business looked promising.
I had launched three signature, plant based superfood drinks into the South African market – a turmeric, beetroot and matcha latte powder blend. The launch coincided with the global trend around turmeric and 'rainbow' lattes, typically plant-based (vegan), and it was exciting to be at the helm of exploring what these delicious and photogenic coffee-alternatives could mean in the lives of health-conscious South Africans.
Within one year I'd landed a national health food restaurant chain and several Cape Town coffee chains with my 750g catering format. My newly launched 200g retail bags were on the shelves of South Africa's premier national health food grocery chain, and independent grocers were following suit.
Along with exposure on shelves and menus in cities across the country, I had just exhibited at the Good Food and Wine Show in Cape Town in early June. These were milestones won through long hours, arduous physical labour and financial stress. But I was 'making it' amidst a ton of challenges, and it felt good to be working my passion for clean, plant-based living.
Unfortunately, June was also the month I discovered that Woolworths had launched a 'superfood latte' concept to their cafe menu, with striking similarities to my brand.
Woolworths had used a close variation of my registered brand name 'SUPERLATTE' to title a new section on their beverage menu.
The section featured just three beverages – a turmeric, beetroot and matcha latte. Sure, they'd used a pause between the 'Super' and 'Latte' and added a plural 'S', but in the context of the menu items to follow – near identical replications of my three blends in key ingredients and colours – it looked liked Woolworths was attempting to ride my wave.
Media reports were abound with similar 'passing-off' type manoeuvres by the retail giant, and as the latest target, it hurt. Immediate thoughts were, 'why had they not approached me? 'We could have worked together'? 'I've been doing all this work to create a category and now they come in to reap the reward? 'They're going to sink my business!'
Naturally I felt betrayed and anxious about what this would mean for Superlatte. As a health-conscious South African and lover of new culinary movements, Woolworths had always been the first port of call for my family. I grew up with the Woolies brand and it held a special place. Now, as a newcomer to the food and beverage business world, I thought of Woolworths in the same way – a trustworthy, premier retailer which, if I could 'land', would be the ultimate retail home for Superlatte in South Africa.
To this end, I decided not to take action. I was discouraged and intimated by their size and realised that legally, they were within their rights. They had after all, split my registered trade mark SUPERLATTE into two separate words, with a plural 's' tacked on, to make SUPER LATTES.
As far as the latte flavours went, well it's nearly impossible to copyright a recipe, and there were a couple of variations in the Woolworths version. My thinking was that rather than damage my chance to one day stock Woolies, I would 'keep calm and carry on', hoping that this would be a passing phase for the retailer.
As it turned out, the loss of a chance to work with Woolies was the last thing to worry about. In their possible attempts at re-creating my concept and flavours, they'd arguably opted for recipes and ingredients which – in my opinion – could tarnish the fledgling category in terms of quality and taste. Customers and followers were sharing that they'd had one of 'my lattes' at Woolies, or, that the lattes on offer tasted 'horrible'. Of course they hadn't had a Superlatte but something which looked and sounded like it.
Fast track to 2019 and the confusion continues. I'm asked regularly if it's my product on the Woolies menu, and did I know the lattes didn't 'taste the same'? It's one thing to 'take inspiration', but at least do it well – this category needs all the help it can get. And it's this point that has left a lasting bad taste in my mouth.
On February 5, 2019, Woolworths is still punting 'Super Lattes' on their cafe menu. In my opinon, they still taste inferior to my blends, and people still confuse my brand with what's on offer at Woolies.
Who can say what damage has been done? In cities like Cape Town and Jo'burg, where Superlatte is on the menu of a long list of quality cafes, category-newcomers get perhaps a second chance at exploring these relatively new flavour combinations. But in Nelspruit? In Bethlehem? In Kimberley? What chance do I have there to re-engage a customer who experienced a 'less-than-ideal' turmeric latte at Woolies, possibly attaching the experience to my brand name in confusion, and is forever lost?
Woolworths have since launched their own range of instant single serve 'superfood' latte blends, a turmeric, beetroot and matcha pack. Again, the retailer appears inspired by Superlatte, replicating two of my product names, 'Red Velvet' and 'Golden Latte'.
And again, we have a quality concern. Unlike Superlatte and the majority of similar brands overseas, the Woolworths blends are relatively high in sugar and are not plant-based, containing milk powder. More clouding of the category and cheapening of the movement towards healthy coffee alternatives, in my opinion, but ultimately to be expected from mainstream retail.
So what's the bottom line here? In 2019, turmeric lattes and the like are hardly a unique concept. We don't 'own' the trend nor the flavour combinations, but we do own our name.
Supporting the local startups Woolworths finds so inspiring would be a good start. But for now, perhaps Woolworths could consider a menu refresh?

"Who can read the New Testament and fail to see that Jesus took sides and accepted freely the possibility of being misunderstood." –James Cone, "Jesus Christ in Black Theology"
As both a parent and a pastor, I have long been a supporter of mental health care in my community. I even serve on a state-wide advisory board to help develop "systems of care" for children and youth with serious emotional disturbances (SED) and their families. So it is upsetting, and somewhat confusing, to find myself regarded as a enemy of my local mental health community.
I have been working with a local interfaith justice group as a vocal advocate for a "no" vote on an upcoming mail-in ballot. The proposed ballot measure would create a half cent sales tax to fund a new mental health campus and a significant expansion of the local jail (which would increase the number of beds there by 96%). I have learned a lot in the past months about prisons and jails, about taxes, about the complexity of the criminal justice system with all its moving parts. I have also learned about being misunderstood.
Before this ballot measure was finalized, many of us urged the county commissioners to separate the mental health funding from the jail funding—to allow citizens to vote on each item separately. The commissioners were not willing to do this, and they convinced many that they were not able to do it. Now that the two items are together, they have said that if we vote "no," they will build the jail anyway—but they will have to take funding from mental health care and other social services to do it.
Suddenly, those of us advocating for a "no" vote are the enemies of all that is right and good in the world. Another local pastor, Rev. Eric Galbreath, recently compared our situation with that of Moses and Aaron. When the two men go to Pharaoh and ask that the Israelite slaves be allowed time to go and worship their God, Pharaoh punishes their unwelcome challenge to his authority by taking away the straw the Israelite slaves needed to make their bricks. But, of course, the slaves are expected to continue making the same number of bricks. When the people do not get anywhere with their complaints to Pharaoh, they turn on Moses and Aaron: "The Lord look upon you and judge! You have brought us into bad odor with Pharaoh and his officials" (Exodus 5:21).
Those who advocate for justice are often blamed for the ways people in power respond to their advocacy. Because wouldn't things have been better for the Israelite slaves if Moses and Aaron had just kept their heads down and stayed away from Pharaoh? And wouldn't things be better in our county if we just went along with the plan so we could get our mental health care campus?
In the short term, yes. The slaves would still have their straw. And my county would start construction on a mental health crisis center. But the slaves would still be slaves. And the jail expansion that would be going up at the same time the crisis center is built would be increasing our capacity to incarcerate people and draining resources that could be used in more restorative ways.
But if the slaves had known that this temporary suffering was leading to an ultimate freedom . . . If people in my county realized that a "no" on this measure is necessary for a better way forward . . .
Our justice group recently revealed that we are initiating a petition that would put a mental health care only funding measure on the November ballot. I thought that announcement would clear up the misunderstanding. That people would realize we do care about people who suffer from mental illness after all. That we are not just out to criticize and block, but are actually willing to work toward positive solutions for our community. I expected the hostility to subside. I expected people—at least some people—to stop hating me.
But the misunderstandings continue. And it is hard. Because I want to be liked. And I want to like other people. So I keep coming back to the words of James Cone: "Jesus took sides and accepted freely the possibility of being misunderstood." As a follower of Jesus, I have to accept the same possibility, no matter how uncomfortable it is.

Li ontem que a Itália deportou um muçulmano que planejava ato terrorista contra o Vaticano.
No entando, li também no jornal The Sun que um relatório oficial europeu diz que o Estado Islâmico já colocou mais de 1.500 terroristas dentro da Europa prontos para realizar ataques. Só aguardando sinal ou oportunidade de matar mais gente ou gente importante. Entre 30 e 35% desses terroristas têm missões específicas.
Vejam abaixo
MORE than 1,500 jihadists fighting with ISIS in Syria and Iraq have returned to Europe with orders to "carry out attacks", an EU report warned.
An estimated 5,000 European ISIS fanatics went to Syria and Iraq and 15 to 20 per cent of them died on the battlefield.
An estimated 5,000 European ISIS fanatics went to Syria and Iraq and 15 to 20 per cent of them died on the battlefield.
Around 30 to 35 per cent have returned with "specific missions", while the other half remained in the battle theatre – which amounted to between 2,000 and 2,500 Europeans.
This means as many as 1,750 may have returned, based on the percentages listed in the report which EU counter-terrorism coordinator Gilles de Kerchove will present to EU interior ministers on Friday.
The report said there were two types of 'foreign terrorist fighters' returning.
It warned: "It is important to share information on returnees who are already back in Europe, those that are in transit and … (those) still in the conflict zone."
"There are largely two categories of returnees: those in the majority who will drift back and those who will be sent back on specific missions, which are of most concern."
Enquanto isso, o Vaticano vai tentar "dialogar" com líderes muçulmanos.
Rezemos pela nossa fé.

Kirsten Flagstad must be ranked as one of the greatest dramatic sopranos ever. No one in her wake – apart from Astrid Varnay and Birgit Nilsson – has come anywhere near her in majesty, power and general excellence.
She made her début as early as 1913 at the age of 18 but it was another 22 years until she became an international 'name'. Slowly developing her initially small lyrical voice during the 1910s and 1920s, finally reaching early Wagner in 1929 and 1930, she was invited to Bayreuth in 1932, singing some minor roles. In 1934 she returned as Gutrune and Sieglinde, the latter role awakening the interest of the Metropolitan. She arrived at the Met in February 1935 and had a tremendous success, helped in no small degree by the fact that the performance was broadcast nationwide. From then on she was the dramatic soprano and as such she was quickly typecast in the great Wagnerian roles, a fate that has ruined many promising singers. The great difference with Flagstad – and Birgit Nilsson a couple of decades later – was that she was already in mid-career. By then her voice had already settled and – of course – she was endowed with exceptionally strong vocal cords. Her career lasted in fact up to the end of the 1950s. Her official farewell concert took place on 7 September 1957 at the Royal Albert Hall – a concert that was recorded by the BBC and recently issued on CD. In her native Norway she continued singing for another few years and even recorded Fricka in Das Rheingold for Solti in 1959.
Besides the Wagnerian heroines and some other Hochdramatisch roles, the songs of her fellow-countryman Grieg were always close to her heart; surprising perhaps since these are lyrical miniatures composed with quite another voice-type in mind. But Flagstad was able to scale down her instrument to meet Grieg's requirements, as we can hear in the Haugtussa cycle on this disc. This was her first recording of three and the one that comes closest to the mark in sheer voice quality. Her insight is just as deep in the later efforts but there her voice took on a more matronly quality that became more and more prominent during the later part of her career, not surprisingly since by then she was well past 50.
Back in 1940, when this first Haugtussa was recorded, we also sense a whiff of the matron, especially in her imposing contralto-like low register. The upper part of the voice shines, but not steely cold – there are streaks of softer metals, lending warmth to the sound and even a certain frailty, whether intentional or not. I sometimes feel that the slight vulnerability in her tone may be due to her efforts to 'shrink' the voice down from her orchestra-riding dimensions to balance the piano. This feeling is reinforced here through the close recording of the voice – she is almost on top of the microphone. The piano, though well reproduced, is further back. But it isn't only a matter of her holding back, she has many of the finest attributes of a good Lieder singer: expressive with words – she sings in her native language, willing to colour the voice. In some of the songs she exhibits a girlish liveliness not expected from a great Isolde. Blåbaer-Li (tr. 3) is masterly with Edwin McArthur's piano part contributing to the light and glittering impression.
Tempos are generally on the slow side. Comparing her to three latter-day Nordic singers, both Anne Sofie von Otter (DG) and Monica Groop (BIS) are several minutes faster. The third singer, Siv Wennberg (EMI) with Geoffrey Parsons, recorded in the 1970s and to my knowledge never issued on CD, is actually even slower than Flagstad. Wennberg, who gradually moved into Flagstad repertoire – I heard her as an impressive Isolde some twenty years ago – can even sound a bit lethargic, which Flagstad never does. Such is her concentration and involvement that she doesn't feel slow – unless one makes direct comparisons with the two mezzo-sopranos. Objectively both von Otter and Groop are to be preferred but as so often more than one approach can be valid. The only disfiguring element is her over-generous use of portamento, that sliding from note to note that was a common feature with some singers and violinists of an earlier generation. I have recently made the same comment on Elisabeth Schumann.
That Flagstad's voice was in an aging process – or to modify the verdict: maturing – becomes obvious when we move three years back to the dramatic arias with orchestra, miraculously all of them, with a playing time of 50 minutes, recorded on the same day: 17 October 1937! Here she is at a fair distance from the microphone. There is more ambience around the voice. But the most interesting and fascinating aspect is the difference in the actual sounds she produces. This is a voice that is infinitely brighter, even lighter and more lyrical. It is a voice that would fit the Figaro countess like a glove. It is indeed a marvellous instrument and she even produces some decent runs in the Beethoven aria (tr. 9). She has all the power required for this testing repertoire and the blazing top, gleaming like Aida-trumpets and not a trace of the hooting sounds one remembers from her later recordings. Her Fidelio has a lyrical warmth that places it in a class of its own, the portamenti notwithstanding. The Oberon aria, a real challenge, has her pouring out regal tones of exceptional beauty. Elsa's Euch Lüften (tr. 12) is lyrical and inward and hearing her glorious reading of Sieglinde's Du bist der Lenz (tr. 13) gives a clue to her tremendous breakthrough that historical night at the Met two years earlier. Of present day singers, there isn't one who can challenge Flagstad, with the possible exception of Nina Stemme, who was just as magnificent in the role in Stockholm a year ago. Now that is a reading that I would wish to have recorded, maybe more than anything in this world!
Starke Scheite, the finale from Götterdämmerung (tr. 14), is also remarkable for the abandon and the warmth. Again Varnay and Nilsson are the only competitors within arm's length. She recorded it again more than ten years later for EMI with Furtwängler, still impressive but some of the youthful freshness was gone. She even recorded the complete opera in the mid-1950s for Decca with Set Svanholm as Siegfried and a Norwegian cast. As far as I know this recording has never been rescued from the vaults. The question is how desirable is it? Surely it at least merits a highlights disc with the two star singers …?
It has to be mentioned that a not inconsiderable part of the success of these incandescent recordings falls on the shoulders of Eugene Ormandy – who never lets the tension slacken – and the glorious playing of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Mark Obert-Thorn has done his usual miracles with the transfers, belying the actual age of the recordings by at least ten years. They were originally released by Romophone and everyone who for some reason missed that issue can now put that blunder right. As a bonus one is also treated to one of John Steane's insightful liner notes.

Pravana specializes in hair colouring products. However, it has created something completely different this time. What is it? Hair straightener which lightens the strands. The name of the gadget is Blonde Wand.
It is going to revolutionize hair styling and conditioning methods.
Blond Wand is two-in-one – a straightener and a gadget for lightening the colour of our strands. It is equipped with ceramic plates, temperature control and long swivel cord. The manufacturer adds a lightening product designed for all hair types. Thanks to Blond Wand, you will straighten and brighten your hair during one treatment.
How to use the gadget? Apply a cream containing coconut oil to your hair. The oil nourishes, strengthens and protects hair from mechanical and chemical damages, high temperature and harmful external factors. You can apply the product to the entire length of hair or only to the ends. You may as well apply two layers of the cream to the strands – the first one to the lengths and the other one to the ends. This way you get ombre effect. Then, divide the hair into sections and wrap each of them in aluminium foil. Now, straighten your hair with Blond Wand.
When will you see the results? You can see them after the first seconds. Hair is lightened and straight as well as smooth and conditioned. What benefits does Blonde Wand give? Thanks to the device, you save time and money. Traditional lightening in a hair salon lasts more or less 40 minutes whereas straightening about 30 minutes. What is more, hair is not damaged, hair ends are not split whereas the scalp is not irritated. Is Blonde Wand going to replace classical hair styling and colouring techniques?
