Why? Because rowing is considered as the best cardio and full body workout. That automates 9 major muscular groups.
So without further ado let's get into this rowing machine reviews guide to make your first buy perfect.
But this is always a good approach to check out a review before buying anything expensive (especially online). Because too many promotional stuff around the internet can ruin your purchase.

Frankly speaking, this is one of the best equipment that you should try to get in shape. So without wasting much time let's dig out some real deals that suit your budget.
Among the top 10 indoor rowers given above, we pick the top 4 machines to make your purchase even more specific and easy. So that you don't get confused with the long list of rowing machines.
When it comes to the quality, Concept2 is among the top manufacturers of indoor rowers.
Concept2 Model D is the best selling indoor rowing machine all around the world. And we must say that this is the best indoor rower that your money can buy under $1000.
This is the unique feature of Concept2 Rowers. The live rowing app enables you to get compete with your friends online on a virtual boat race by hooking up with your rowing machine.

Check out the review of Live Rowing iOS app with Concept2 Model D.
The flywheel keeps the noise generated by the machine low. The flywheel is designed, to reduce the noise and to smoothen the overall functioning of the machine.
The seat in Concept2 Model D is low in height of about 14 inches. Which makes it smooth and easy for the workout. The seat is adjustable to complement your height, even if you are too tall or too short.
Can be easily separated into two pieces for the proper handling and less storage space. Caster wheels introduced in this makes it easy to carry and mobile.
It includes PM5 (Performance Monitor) upgrading from the previous PM3 model. The Performance Monitor gives you the accurate and comparable data on each and every row. And the adjustable monitor arm makes it easy to operate and access from every position.
Adjustable footrests in this model of Concept2 makes it easy to hold and enables you to gain traction over the machine quickly and smoothly.
The model D is covered under 5 years of frame warranty and 2 years warranty on PM (Performance Monitor) and other moving parts.
In short, the rower is perfect if you are willing to spend money on it, it can be coined as "you get what you pay for".
If you want a sturdy indoor rowing machine, you should go with this model. But if you ready to shed some more money and want to experience the real water sensation from your machine then WaterRower Natural be the ultimate choice for you.
When it comes to the overall and real experience of true Rowing, WaterRowers are considered to be the best indoor rowers.
WaterRower mimics the original rowing experience because water rowers work on the mechanism of water resistance. Unlike the magnetic or air type of rowing machines, in these, the flywheel is enclosed in a water tank which provides smooth and quiet resistance during the workout.
If you really want to enjoy the true experience of rowing but don't want to go outside or you have the water phobia. Then this machine could be the ultimate choice for you.
The flywheel is enclosed in a water tank to give a smooth and quiet functioning. The water enclosed flywheel replicates the original experience of outdoor rowing.
The S4 performance monitor is fairly large comparatively to other rowing machines. But the placement of LCD monitor is not that much good as in Concept2 Model D because of its moving arm in Model D.
But the S4 monitor easily tracks the workout intensity, stroke rate, heart rate, distance, speed and time. And there is also a unique feature in water rower that outweighed its minor complaints, and that feature is PC connectivity.
With this unique feature of PC connectivity, you can plug its monitor into your computer or laptop and watch a virtual boat along the water. You can race online or against your previous tracked sessions. This unique feature is really a top notch because it motivates you to push yourself further and help you to get in shape. You can keep your training sessions stored in your PC via its software.
This Ash wood handcrafted rowing machine from WaterRowers looks premium and is designed to absorb sound and vibrations which provide a smooth and quiet functioning of the machine.
Dual rails with four corner wheels make it stand upright in a corner. Its weight capacity of 1000 pounds makes it best in its class rowing machine.
WaterRower natural comes with 1-year warranty on its frame and components.
And can be upgraded to 5 years on frame and 3 years on components by just completion of a registration form.
If you are ready to shed some extra money for the true rowing experience and the whoosh sound of water then WaterRower natural is the ultimate choice.
We have already reviewed the best rowing machine– Concept2 Model D. But if you want to save some money and at the same time don't want to compromise with the quality of Rower. Then Stamina Avari could be the another great bargain.
Stamina Avari Rower is a comfortable and professional rowing machine that can save you money from excessive Gym charges. Stamina Avari is designed for comfort sitting and high build quality.

Rowing machines are used for their variety of health benefits like cardiovascular, muscle strength, lungs improvement, and weight loss purposes. And this professional indoor rower from Avari does its job quite well.
Its fitness monitor motivates you to row regularly by keep tracking the time, count, distance, watts, strokes per minute, calories and pulse count. The LCD backlit fitness monitor is immovable and fixed just in front of the rower.
Use the Up/ Down keys on the In Touch Fitness Monitor to adjust the speed of rowing, workout time and resistance on the flywheels.
The machine includes a chest strap that can be used for accurate readings during heart rate programs. The belt is provided to know the limit of your endurance.
Unlike the stainless steel track in Concept2 Model D. Stamina Avari equipped with an aluminium track which is also capable of providing a smooth functioning.
The magnetic type resistance given in Avari Stamina assures the smooth and silent gliding. At the same time gives the sensation of natural rowing.
Portability is the main concern with any machine and Stamina Avari can dismantle into three part for easy carry.
Stamina Avari rowing machine comes with 3 years warranty on frame and 90 days warranty on parts.
As reported seat quality is not good enough for the long duration.
If you really want to experience the rowing but don't have the budget for Concept2 Model D. Then Stamina Avari could be a good choice. And the magnetic type resistance has done a really good job both in terms of smoothness or high resistance.
We create this helpful resource for you, to make your decision perfect and regret free. Because many other rowing machines' reviews out there on the internet are somewhat biased or too old to consider.
So if you find your machine from here, or found this resource helpful- do share it with your friends.


You might have heard about smudge sticks.
They can definitely be grouped into the *alternative* wellness trend that's making the mystical powers of crystals appear all over your newsfeed.
Because the uses/benefits of a smudge stick are half metaphysical-mystic-vibe-based and half sciencey, I'm just going to tell you all about them… and THEN tell you what I actually think at the end.
But before I get all witchy on you, let's talk basics.
A smudge stick is simply dried sage tied together with twine.
Sage sticks have been around for a lonnnnnnnng time. (Like ancient Greece long time). They're mainly from ancient Eastern traditions but also have Native American roots.
When you use it, it burns slowly, letting off a thick fragrant smoke (but don't worry, not too much and it dissipates quickly).
Don't worry; it's not a fog-machine level of smoke. There's even less smoke than a cigarette because it dissipates so quickly. You're really just leaving the scent.
I should also mention that smudge sticks come with different herbs. Lavender, pine and cedar are also common.
Alrighty, so what's the point?
Well, people claim there are benefits ranging from cosmic cleansing (I told you it was going to get witchy) to scientifically-proven air cleaning. The stick 'smudges' out anything from air impurities to bad vibes.
This study proved that burning sage/smudge sticks actually removes 94% of bacteria from the air. I'll take sage over chemical-ridden Lysol any day.
Some people use the smell to help them meditate. Everyone seems to think it smells like something different but a lot of yogi's swear by it.
A lot of sage-users (can we call them smudgers?) swear by its power to make them feel happier and more centred. It's also rumoured to help chase out bad spirits. To do this, you're meant to wave it around the edges of a room (and away from any smoke detectors), paying special attention to corners.
Also if you're a believer in this metaphysical stuff: sage has a masculine energy and incense has a feminine energy, so by burning sage, you're balancing the two energies" (read more here).
Alright, this one's a bit complicated. There are little, charged particles in the air called ions. Some people believe that the balance of negative and positive ions is responsible for good and bad moods.
For example, before a storm there are 30% more positive ions in the air, creating that stressed feeling vs. after a storm when there are 30% more negative ions. I dunno about you, but I am always v calm after a storm. Places like forests and mountains have higher negative ion counts too. (Check out more here).
Basically, the more negative ions in the air, the better the vibes are.
Smudge sticks are experts are negative-izing the air (okay… maybe that's not a real word but would this really be a G+J blog post without a few made up words?).
I also feel like the fun of waving a burning thing around is a bonus too… am I a weirdo? Probably.
After using the smudge stick for three days, I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I actually did feel more at peace at home and that my mom and I didn't have any friction.
If you like waving around smoking sage, go for it.
If you're not really into it, that's totally fair too.
If you haven't tried it, you should! What have you got to lose? (Other than $6).
Would you try a smudge stick? Or do you think it's a little too witchy?


October 28 (O.S., October 15) 2018: 22nd Sunday after Pentecost. Ven. Euthymius the New of Thessalonica, monk of Mt. Athos (889). Martyr Lucian, presbyter of Greater Antioch (312). Martyrs Sarbelus and Bebai (Barbea) of Edessa (2nd c.). St. Sabinus, bishop of Catania (760). Hieromartyr Lucian, presbyter of the Kyiv Caves (1243).
Jesus frequently describes the Kingdom of God has hidden or overlooked.
Though the Kingdom of God is among us (Luke 17:21), it is also a treasure buried in a field. It is "a pearl of great price" the value of which is unknown by its owner (Matthew 13:44-46).
As for the members of the Kingdom, though "many are called," they are few in number (Matthew 22:14). A subject of the Kingdom is "a lost sheep" that requires the Shepherd to leave the 99 in order to find. We are likewise, "a lost coin" that causes its owner to extravagantly light all the lamps to sweep the house (Luke 15:3-10).
We overlook the Kingdom of God because we search for it in the world around us when in fact it "is within," in the one place we are least likely to look. Our own hearts (Luke 17:20-21).
For the fathers of the Church, the hidden or obscure character of the Kingdom of God was deliberate. God hides the Kingdom. He hides His presence among us and, as we hear in today's Gospel, His does this not out of malice but to capture our attention. God speaks in a "whisper in the wind" (1 Kings 19:11-13) not to frustrate us but to woo us.
In human words, God speaks to us in words of chaste affection. This divine flirtation is chaste because God respects our limitations. Unlike the old gods, He doesn't impose Himself on us. God is not Zeus, the human soul is not Leda. For all that God loves and desires us to draw close to Him, He is not impatient.
But what about us? What about me?
Like everyone else, the great secret I keep is this: I am better able to hear words of condemnation than affection. Scorn bothers me less than love because love calls me to be not just better but my best self.
And again, this is true not only for me but all of us.
We are all of us intimidated by love, by that invitation to become our best selves through sacrifice. And if this is true in our relationships with each other, it is even more so in our relationship with God.
When finally we surrender to God, we become not only our best selves, we find a true and lasting freedom that even death can't undo. But this lasting freedom means I must give up to the illusory independence this world offers me.
So God woos us. He flirts with us. He slowly and patiently reveals to us not only His great love for us but also are true and lasting dignity.
And what is true for each of us here today, is true for all humanity.
St Justin Martyr tells us that God is seminally present in all cultures. Just as He reveals Himself through the Law to the Jews, He reveals Himself through philosophy to the Greeks.
And just as God was present among those ancient peoples, He is here among contemporary men and women. But His presence is, as always, hidden.
It is our tasks, our vocation, to reveal the hidden presence of God to all we meet. This, not mere correction, is the evangelical mission of the Church. We are called to leave the Liturgy this morning, go out into the world, and find Christ there waiting to greet us hidden in the hearts of those we meet.
To do this we must find the presence of the Kingdom of God in our own hearts. This inward turn is only possible if we cultivate silence in our lives.
First, we must cultivate silence around us. Turn off the tv, the radio. Not only no video or no music but also no books. Just silence.
As silence grows around us, we become able to listen to our own hearts.
What we hear first is that incessant, internal monologue that reminds us–again and again–that we are unworthy of love. What this monologue fails to say is that we are unworthy of love because, whether human or divine, love is always a free gift. We are never worthy of love because love is given freely or not at all.
Slowly we learn to cultivate inner silence, we learn first to ignore and then stop our internal monologue. And when we do, we begin to hear the quiet whisper of God's chaste affection for us.
It is at this moment that we become able to hear God's word to us.
It is at this moment that we become able to speak as God speaks to us. First to ourselves, then our brothers and sisters in Christ, then our neighbor, and finally God.
It is in silence that we learn to speak those words of chaste affection that are the sum and only content of our evangelical witness.
It is this word spoken out of silence, that those we meet need to hear from us.
It is this word spoken out of silence, that allows us to love with a chaste affection that respects the weakness of others in a manner that doesn't break "the bruised reed," that doesn't "quench the smoldering wick" (Matthew 12:20).
It is this word spoken out of silence that "binds up and heals" the wounds of those we meet (Psalm 147:3).
And it is this, our word spoken out of silence, that allows others to find Christ in their hearts.
My brothers and sisters in Christ! All those we meet need from us words and deeds of chaste affection. Without these words, these deeds, they cannot find the presence of Christ in their own hearts.
If I fail to speak in a chaste and affection manner? Then their condemnation is on my head.
Why? Because these words and deeds of chaste affection that are the fruit of silence are not only for the salvation of the world. They are for our salvation as well.


as i'm sure a lot of you can agree with, granola is one of the tastiest treats on the planet.
is it breakfast ? is it dessert ? is it a snack ?
who cares, it's yummy !
so here it is – my cheapified version of the healthiest granola ever recipe i've shared before.
and like usual : no oil, no added sugar or syrup, no hanky panky.
all the ingredients i've used are organic. still this granola is just a fraction of the price it would have been if i'd bought it readymade in the food shop.
i'e gone with sunflower seeds instead of more expensive nuts and seeds. sunflower seeds are hella cheap, delicious, and good for you.
instead of oils or tahini ( which i used in my earlier granola recipe ) i've gone with plain old bananas. yep, it works beautifully !
oats are of course cheap, organic raisins and dates are cheaper than other dried fruits. cinnamon, shredded coconut, and cacao for some added flavouring and we've got the yummiest little lumps of health.
– preheat the oven to 150° C / 300° F.
– blend bananas, dates, and cacao until smooth. add a splash of water if needed to adjust the texture. check the video for consistency reference.
– in a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients. you can choose to wait with the raisins until after the granola is done, but i prefer to let them join the other ingredients in the oven. it makes them chewy and caramelly which i like. be careful not to burn them though !
– add the chocolate blend to the bowl and mix thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are covered.
– place a parchment paper on a baking sheet and bake for 20-30 minutes or so. the granola should feel firm but not too dry, since it dries up even more when cooled off. let cool completely before placing it in an airtight container. i like putting a piece of kitchen towel in the container, to absorb any moisture left in the granola.
you know, my last granola recipe is one of my most popular recipes of all times – which was a complete surprise to me !
i don't even know how many times you've tagged me on instagram with that recipe. looking forward to see if you try this baby out !
we already finished this batch ( it just took a couple of days uh-oh ) so seeing these pics gives me the biggest craving.
time to get a new batch going !

Oh my god. Looks magnificent! Any ideas what else I could use instead of puffed rice? Dont know where to get that where I live.
I couldn't find it easily, either. I was planning on using crumbled up rice cakes, hope that'll work.
Oh, she had actually gave that as a tip for this recipe, so it should definitely work than!
My name is Elise, i am a french graphic designer currently living in Sweden.
I follow your blog and really enjoy the quality of your content. It is always both simple and beautiful and i like the way you share your ideas about minimalism.
I also freelance, i also have a cooking blog and i have also been moving around a lot with my boyfriend lately so i can easily relate to your thoughts and lifestyle.
Heey hi! I really want to make this recipe, it look so yummy and nutritive! But in my country we don't have dates, so I wanted to ask you what can I use instead??
Do you know how long it can be stored, in the fridge or not because it has bananas..
I guess you have to leave it for a longer time at a lower temperature, otherwise it'll burn. I used a small toaster oven so I had to make 3 batches and the first one turned out mushy, the other two are fine.
Hi Jenny! :) I was wondering, if I could replace the banana with some other fruit? My mom can't eat any bananas, and that is why it would be stupid for me to make a granola with them.. :/ Or maybe I could just leave it out?
By the way, I really enjoy your beautiful blog and videos, the are inspiring me to cook and eat healthier!
I made this with dried figs instead of dates, peanuts and some PB2 for good measure. Turned out quite well. Plan on definitely making again. Maybe a pumpkin spice version?!
Hi, we tried the recipe but found the 3 banana chocolate mixture was much too little for the 500gr of oats you included. We added more banana but found it was still too dry. Is there a typo in the recipe?
how long do they last if I do not eat them all at once? I made them for my sister's birthday which is in 2 weeks. Would you recommend that I make a new batch until then?
So, i made this granola today and it is good! however, it is not crunchy enough for my taste. Next time I'll try making your other recipe with tahini.
I'm making this right now, and my whole little house smells SO good! I couldn't resist a taste before I popped it in the oven. It's crazy-simple, and I cannot wait to dig into it! Thank you for sharing all your yummy recipes!
I've just made this now… and waiting for it to finish cooking is pure torture! It smells amazing – almost like a banana cake! I am sure it will taste just as good as it smells too. Can't wait!!!!
Is there a replacement for banana? I cant eat banana and would really like to try the world famous granola.
Amazing! This looks so delicious!
I've tried this recipe a few times with my own tweaks and it is delicious. I flip my granola over and bake it a second time for extra chewy fruit bits and to dry the granola out a bit more. Thank you for the yummy recipe!

Dreadnought in many ways successfully brings the World of Tanks formula to outer space with sci-fi flair, and the vertical movements of the ships add some depth. It's often fun, but if you want to advance at a reasonable pace you'll have to deal with an unreliably active PS4 player population and an XP system that requires a lot of grinding to unlock new ships.
Hob is a beautiful Zelda-like puzzler with fun combat elements that takes place on an enchanting world where nature and machinery alter the landscape as easily as a twist of a Rubik's cube. The wordless approach to the story creates some confusion and the fix camera sometimes results in unnecessary deaths, but never does the time spent with Hob feel wasted.
The outstanding classic-style RPG Pillars of Eternity makes a surprisingly virtuosic transition to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 with the Complete Edition, bringing both systems all of the content that's been released on the PC version so far. For an RPG of its complexity, it's surprising how pleasingly intuitive its gamepad control scheme is, and its easily legible text makes it feel just as good to play from the couch as from a desk. It's a memorable experience that suffers from only a few technical hiccups, most significantly its long and frequent loading times.
Distrust is a roguelike isometric survival game inspired by The Thing where hunger and sleepiness are as frightening as the aliens hunting you.
Sundered takes the 2D Metroidvania platforming formula augments it with some successful ideas that all but reward you for dying. Its procedurally generated levels are hit and miss, as the dynamic parts come off as bland in comparison to Sundered's impressive hand-drawn areas and epic boss fights. In addition, its randomly appearing enemy hordes sometimes lead it to devolve into mere button mashing and random deaths, but the knowledge that I'll come back a little stronger each time makes it hurt less.

The fight against food waste is big business. Last year, more than $125 million went to startups looking to address waste in the system. But the debate about the ugly produce movement is raising new questions about the business of food waste, with consumers left wondering how to tell the difference between clever marketing and a true food waste solution.
The consumer advocacy group U.S. PIRG has tested 20 brands of beer and wine, finding trace levels of glyphosate in all but one. These trace amounts are well below EPA tolerance levels: an adult would have to drink more than 140 glasses of wine or beer daily to cause a health risk.
A new gene-edited soybean oil just hit the market, designed with consumers in mind. It's a high oleic oil that's free from trans fats and the latest example of genetically engineered foods designed to appeal to consumers rather than boost crop yields.
Since the first genetically modified tomato hit the U.S. market in 1994, consumers have been suspicious of scientific tinkering with their food. Back then, genetically modified animals seemed particularly ominous, with images like fishy tomatoes and frankenfood capturing the public's imagination. But real-life examples of genetically engineered animals aren't so cartoonish.
Kin Euphorics is looking to disrupt the alcohol industry, but what exactly is a euphoric? Part adaptogen, part nootropic, the drink promises to "elevate your state, connect with others, and take back our morning afters." But what do the claims hold up?
It's been a big year for plant-based and lab grown meats, but next year could be a turning point. Sales grew over 23% in the last year, exceeding $760 million. In 2019, look for plant-based and cultured meat companies to navigate new partnerships, new markets and an evolving regulatory landscape.
The EAT-Lancet Commission, a three-year project of 37 experts across different disciplines, is calling for sweeping food system changes to grow food that is healthy and good for the planet. The Commission calls for more sustainable intensification and less consumption of meat and animal products.
Activated charcoal is everywhere. Touted in alternative health circles as a versatile treatment for almost anything that ails you, its proponents claim that it clears up your acne, treats inflammation caused by " toxic mold," draws out the venom from a snake bite, eases a hangover, halts your farts, removes "toxins" from your body, and brightens your pearly whites.
As the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control continue investigating last month's E. coli outbreak in romaine lettuce that has, to date, infected 43 Americans and 22 Canadians, the FDA has now announced a new voluntary leafy greens industry labeling plan aimed at mitigating the outbreak's impact.
Telling people to eat their way to a different outlook is nothing new. Think of religious fasting. Or John Harvey Kellogg's anti-masturbation cornflake diet. In 17th-century England, a "hot and moist diet" was even thought to provide a cure for melancholy.
ilk is stuck in a time warp in America. We might be game for goat's milk Brie or Key lime pie-flavored yogurt, but milk? Don't mess with milk. Americans grow up drinking milk. Milk and cookies are our first comfort food. Milk is what we rush to the store for during storms, even if we don't understand why.
How Long Can You Safely Store Meat?
How long you can keep that steak in the fridge? Is that can of tuna still good enough for your casserole? We've got you covered. From freezer and fridge to canned foods, we've outlined the rules for safe food storage of beef, pork, poultry, and fish, all in time for your next set of leftovers.
For many of us, coffee is an essential part of our daily ritual. The smell, the taste, that boost of alertness-these are perks that many of us can't (or don't want to) live without. But what if, when waiting in line for a cup of coffee, you noticed a warning in big bold letters that its contents were known to cause cancer?
Synthetic fertilizer comes with environmental drawbacks like water pollution. Pivot Bio is one of the synthetic biology companies working on a microbial alternative, and has now completed field trials with over 11,000 Midwest farmers, bringing the company one step closer to commercialization.
Vaccines have long been hailed as one of our greatest public health achievements. They can be made to protect us from infections with either viral or bacterial microbes. Measles and smallpox, for example, are viruses; Streptococcus pneumoniae is a bacterium that causes a range of diseases, including pneumonia, ear and sinus infections, and meningitis.
How Do They Make Meat-Like Burgers from Plants?
It's an all too common scenario for vegetarians: there you are, sadly chewing away at your dry veggie patty while the carnivores around you enjoy their smoky, juicy burgers. Well, take heart: a better burger is here.
Ripe.io wants to use blockchain technology to transform the food industry, and it just received a major influx of cash to do it. The agritech startup just secured $2.4 million in financing from investors like Maersk Growth, the capital venture arm of the Danish shipping container conglomerate Maersk, and Relish Works, a Chicago-based food innovation hub.
If you've followed the debate about GMOs with any sort of regularity, there's a strong chance you've come across a picture of a tomato stabbed by a giant syringe. That image, though a complete fiction, seems to perfectly capture what's preventing public acceptance of these foods: We don't really know what makes something a GMO.
appy cows come from California." So reads the tagline of a famous ad campaign run by the California Milk Advisory Board, featuring cows casually chatting in a wide-open field. Cows from California, the thinking goes, must be like everyone else from California: happy and laid back. But what makes a cow happy?
"Eat real food" is simple-seeming dietary advice that's actually anything but. On the one hand, it sounds easy enough: Unlike some Goop-approved detox, it's a guideline that appears to leave room for most food groups. On the other hand, though, "real food" is a slippery concept, one without any single established definition.
I was in a drugged out, hazy blur the day my son was born. Two days before, I had been diagnosed with pre-eclampsia, and learned I would need to deliver him eight weeks early, by Caesarean section. During the delivery, the combination of shock, magnesium drip and anesthesia made me feel dazed, disconnected and barely present.
Whole Foods used to be my idea of grocery heaven. Once upon a time, I shopped at the California Street location in San Francisco - it was light and airy with produce for miles. I knew the cheesemonger. I had philosophical conversations with the butcher. I stared longingly at the Le Creuset bakeware.
When my doctor told me I'd be delivering my baby at 32 weeks, I looked at her like she was crazy. Nothing was ready. Not the crib, not his room, and certainly not me. At the same time, I was also a little relieved.
When I saw the new documentary Food Evolution at the D.C. Environmental Film Festival in March, I was surprised to see Michael Pollan and Marion Nestle, two giants of food advocacy, take a clear stance in favor of genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, since the two have previously been critical of these controversial foods.
"You are poisoning your children," the woman told me calmly before walking back into the crowd of activists gathered for the Food Justice march this past October in Washington, DC. Activists from groups like March Against Monsanto and Moms Across America rallied because they believe Americans are at risk from our food supply.
The most commonly used herbicide in the world is not worse than the things it would be replaced with.
My husband and I discovered our daughter's peanut allergy while we were 35,000 feet in the air over Denver. Even though we knew she was allergic to eggs, our allergist had told us there was no reason to avoid any other foods, and so the week before I'd given her a bit of peanut butter and chalked up the slight rash she developed to eczema.
When it comes to diet decisions, there are few things more divisive than the issue of genetically modified organisms, a.k.a. GMOs. These crops, which include ubiquitous ingredients in our food supply, such as corn and soy, make news regularly whenever yet another food company decides to take a stand against them: Chipotle, Del Monte, and Hershey Foods are among the biggest names that have bowed to consumer pressure to offer non-GMO products.
Could We Label GMOs With Pride Instead of Contempt?
It's hard to imagine a food more polarizing than Soylent, the meal replacement drink created by a 23-year-old engineer who was tired of ramen and dirty dishes. Depending on whom you ask, this "food of the future" is either "sperm-esque" fuel for tech bros or the solution to global hunger.
I used to think organic food was best for my kids, but here's why I changed my mind. I grew up the kid of California health-nut parents, especially my dad who could never figure out why two caring hippies like Ben and Jerry could feed people so much butterfat.
I'm a Pro-Agriculture Progressive. Pruitt's Policies Undermine My Faith in Our Food.
For the past few years, I've been part of a loosely connected group of progressives and conservatives who found common ground on food politics. We support the use of genetic engineering in our food system. We don't think Monsanto is the devil.
Demand for products marketed "organic" and "chemical-free" is surging these days, as cautious consumers are worried about chemicals in everything from apples to wrinkle removers. But does "chemical-free" actually mean something is safer? Neuroscientist Alison Bernstein, PhD, says no. "People say 'chemical-free but it's really meaningless since everything, technically speaking, is a chemical."
Outdoor gear giant Patagonia has a long history of effectively (if bizarrely) pairing environmentalism with commerce-its famous "don't buy this jacket" campaign led into two years of increased annual sales. One of their more recent ventures is a sustainable food line, which it officially launched in the fall of 2013.
Jenny Splitter is a writer and over-scheduled mom living in Washington, DC. Her favorite things are black coffee, uninterrupted sleep and conversations that have nothing to do with Minecraft.
I was hoping this summer would be a quiet one for sunscreen. Yes, the Environmental Working Group published its annual sunscreen guide, but I figured the staggering amount of criticism the EWG receives might finally persuade everyone in the media to ignore it. Unfortunately, that didn't happen.
If you pay attention only to the loudest voices sounding off about our agricultural system, you might assume that traditional foodies and fans of food made with genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are two very separate groups. But I'm a food lover and a GMO advocate, so to me, the lines have never felt so neatly drawn.
I remember the moment I became a sleep training fanatic. My son was a year old, and after many failed attempts at straight "CIO," or cry it out, we'd finally found sleep training success with the Ferber method-a controlled crying method where, starting between 3 to 5 months, you teach your baby to soothe himself to sleep (checking in at regular intervals).
My childhood synagogue in Santa Cruz, California was the quintessential lefty feminist Jewish experience: our Cantor was a woman who played the guitar, we observed the feminist-revived ritual of Rosh Chodesh, and girls studied Hebrew just the same as boys. I live in Washington, D.C.
8 Reasons Why Breastfeeding is Overhyped.
I met plenty of moms who despite their efforts couldn't breastfeed, wracked with guilt over their "failure" to give their baby the best start in life. Seeing their pain and grief made me wonder -- is all of this pressure worth it? I began to look more closely at the evidence and what I found surprised me.
My mom was in her late forties when she began to develop headaches and stomachaches so severe she sometimes couldn't get out of bed. For months, her doctor kept telling her it was probably just stress, that she needed to relax and take a vacation.

Noobstaa Phillip Vang missed his mother's cooking. He had just moved to D.C. from Minnesota to attend Georgetown's MBA program, and craved the Northern Vietnamese Hmong food that his mom and aunt used to cook at home. Uber and Airbnb were taking off at the time, and Vang wondered if he could connect people with chefs in a similar way.
Advocates for urban agriculture are nervous these days. President Donald Trump has said little about his agriculture policy plans, his Agriculture Secretary nominee Sonny Perdue is a longtime ally to traditional rural agribusiness interests, and Trump's proposed budget slashes funding for many of the agencies upon which urban residents depend.

Firestopping and Fireblocking
Steel RMC, IMC and EMT do not require fire resistance ratings. Fire resistance ratings apply only to assemblies in their entirety. Building codes consider steel conduit and tubing to be non-combustible. Fire testing is not required by the UL standard to which these products are listed, however, steel RMC, IMC and EMT have been exposed at UL to the ASTM E119 time temperature curve for up to four hours in duration. This was done during testing of annular space filler, and the temperature reached almost 2000 F. The conduit / tubing was still intact at the end of the test. This information is contained in a report entitled "Annular Space Protection of Openings Created by Penetrations of Tubular Steel Conduit — A Review of UL Special Services Investigation Investigations File NC546 Project 90NK11650," which is available for downloading here. Since the conduit / tubing was tested without conductors, the condition of the insulation of the conductors within cannot be verified when subjected to that temperature.
Penetration of fire-resistance rated assemblies
The raceway installer shall determine if the walls, floors or ceilings are fire-rated prior to installing raceway systems. Penetration openings shall be properly filled for fire safety, using approved materials. The NEC® and building codes require that openings around raceways which penetrate a fire-resistance-rated assembly be sealed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke from one area migrating into another.
NOTE: This can be accomplished by use of a listed penetration firestop system, or by use of annular space filler in accordance with building code exceptions.
There are many listed penetration firestop systems which can be used with steel conduit / tubing to seal openings; the listing instructions shall be strictly followed.
NOTE: It is often incorrectly assumed that if steel conduit or EMT penetrates a fire-resistance-rated assembly, these products also must be "fire-resistance-rated." Steel conduit and EMT are non-combustible and do not require a "fire-resistance-rating." The codes require that the annular space around the steel conduit be properly filled so that the fire-resistance-rating of the assembly is maintained.
Most building codes permit openings around steel RMC, IMC and EMT that are penetrating concrete or masonry to be filled with cement, mortar or grout. However, since local codes sometimes vary, the local requirements should be checked prior to installation. Also, project specifications often describe exactly how these openings are to be filled, even though the codes might permit other methods. Firestop systems listed for use with steel conduit / EMT are permitted to fill the space surrounding the conduit or tubing.
In all cases, the raceway installer shall use materials which ensure that fire-resistance ratings of the penetrated assembly are not degraded by the installation of a raceway system.
Penetration of non-fire-rated assemblies
In non-fire-rated assemblies, when non-combustible penetrating items such as steel conduit and EMT connect not more than three stories, the space around the penetration must be filled with an approved non-combustible material to resist the passage of flames and products of combustion. This is called fireblocking.
If the penetrant connects not more than two stories, the annular space filler does not have to be noncombustible, but it must be an approved material that resists the passage of flames and the products of combustion.
Thermal protection of steel raceways
The NEC and local or state code requirements for fire protection of emergency systems and fire-pump circuits shall be reviewed prior to installing these circuits. Local codes sometimes vary from the NEC. Steel raceways withstand fire; however, ordinary conductor insulation melts when exposed to elevated temperatures, and a short circuit can be created. This is the reason for special protection of emergency and fire-pump circuits.
Methods of thermal protection include putting the conduit / tubing in a fire-rated enclosure such as a chase (horizontal or vertical), embedding in concrete, using a listed wrap system for protection from fire or using circuit integrity cables within conduit as part of a listed Electrical Circuit Protective System. (See UL Fire Resistance Directories (Category FHIT)).
NOTE: Fire wraps can affect the temperature of the conductors, and the need for ampacity derating must be determined. It is also important to determine that the support system is protected and will withstand the fire exposure.
The NEC does not require these thermal protection methods for emergency systems where conduit is installed in a fully sprinklered building. Local codes shall be consulted, and the requirements of the applicable code and / or project specification must be followed.

Actress Gabrielle Union revealed that she struggled with infertility in her new memoir, writing that her "body has been a prisoner of trying to get pregnant."
"For three years, my body has been a prisoner of trying to get pregnant. I've either been about to go into an IVF cycle, in the middle of an IVF cycle, or coming out of an IVF cycle," the actress wrote of her struggles with in vitro fertilization in an excerpt published in People magazine from her upcoming book.
"I have endured eight failed IVF cycles, with my body constantly bloated from these hormones," the "Being Mary Jane" star added.
Union, 44, also revealed that she has had "eight or nine miscarriages."
She wrote that she never wanted children before she married her husband, NBA star Dwyane Wade.
"Each attempt at IVF is a loving action. So we remain here, bursting with love and ready to do anything to meet the child we've both dreamed of," she wrote in the book, according to People magazine.

Provenance: An Archival Perspective
Giovanni Michetti
Part of the Springer Proceedings in Business and Economics book series (SPBE)
Archival provenance is a complex concept, the sum of different factors that altogether trace archival records back to their creation and through their management and use. Provenance plays a major role in different archival functions, from arrangement and description to preservation. Therefore, principles and methods for capturing and representing provenance have been developed over a long time in the archival domain. However, further research in this area is needed to cope with the challenges and opportunities of new technology—on the one hand, the digital environment has made it extremely easy to mix and re-use digital objects, to a point that it is often difficult to trace provenance; on the other hand, tools like Resource Description Framework (RDF) can be used to represent provenance through new standards and models.

The Vanniya Kula Kshatriya or Vanniyar of Tamil Nadu speak, read and write in Tamil. They are not vegetarian and eat rice. They prefer cross-cousin marriages. Divorce and marrying again are allowed. On the death of the father, sons inherit the property with the oldest son in charge of the home. There are birth and marriage rituals. The dead are cremated. Agriculture is their main work. Caste associations look after them. Hinduism is their religion.
In Pondicherry they are educated to college level and use family planning.
In Kerala many of them now work in business, trade and industry. Children are educated to secondary level. It is difficult for them to be educated further due to poverty.
They also live in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.

The actual boat ramp hasn't been built yet. Lowndes County Engineering says they're waiting for the Alapaha River level to go down again.
Right now it's a straight drop.
Once the county finishes this project, they will hand over to the Valdosta-Lowndes County Parks & Recreation Authority (VLPRA), which has said it will probably build a kiosk there. Lowndes County Public Works will make and plant road signs on US 84 pointing at the Naylor Boat Ramp. Then it will be good to go on the Alapaha River Water Trail (ARWT). You can still help to pay for the rest of the ARWT road signs.

The HeatmapScene contains an instance of the **LevelGeometry** prefab. This way the coordinates for crashes loaded from Azure map correctly to the level art.

## Heatmap script

### InitializeCrashListAsync
`InitializeCrashListAsync` connects to the CrashInfo Easy table on Azure and uses `ToListAsync` to add all of its entries to a list.

```
private async Task InitializeCrashListAsync()
 {
     Debug.Log("Downloading crash data from Azure...");

     for (int i = 0; i < numberOfAttempts; i++)
     {
         try
         {
             Debug.Log("Connecting... attempt " + (i +1));
             crashesFromServer = await crashesTable.ToListAsync();
             Debug.Log("Done downloading.");
             return;
         }
         catch (System.Exception e)
         {
             Debug.Log("Error connecting: " + e.Message);
         }

         if (i == numberOfAttempts - 1)
             Debug.Log("Connection failed. Check logs, try again later.");
         else
             await Task.Delay(500);
     }
 }
```

### SpawnMarkersFromList
`SpawnMarkersFromList` iterates through the list of crashes received from Azure and instantiates a crash marker prefab for each entry.

```csharp
private void SpawnMarkersFromList()
{
    foreach (var item in crashesFromServer)
    {
        GameObject marker = GameObject.Instantiate(markerPrefab);
        marker.transform.position = new Vector3 { x = item.X, y = item.Y, z = item.Z };
    }
}
```

### DeleteCrashDataAsync

`DeleteCrashDataAsync` is called when the user presses the **Clear Data** button. It iterates through the local list of crashes and calls `DeleteAsync` for each entry. This sets each entry's **Deleted** column in the Easy table to **true**. `ToListAsync` ignores these deleted entries.

```csharp
public async void DeleteCrashDataAsync()
{
    Debug.Log("Deleting crash data...");
    foreach (var item in crashesFromServer)
    {

Empowering Ink #502LeaderSeries Podcast
Louisa Kleinert is a practitioner of the restorative arts.
Her journey has been anything but predictable, and still, she arrived at the exact place she was meant to be and is changing lives.

Born into a family of driven, compassionate healers Louisa grew up cultivating the desire to use her skills to make a positive difference in the world around her. Art was her passion and after completing an undergraduate degree at Centre College, she followed that passion to the Art Institute of Philadelphia, one of the oldest and most prestigious art schools in the country. She became a classically trained oil painter, adding beauty to the world one piece at a time. And she was good.
So good that she set out to make it her full time career and was successful until life threw a wrench in the plan, calling her home to Louisville by way of NYC, to care for her mother during a battle with breast cancer. It was that unexpected season that became the conduit to her current work, empowering survivors of breast cancer with post-mastectomy tattoos.
After a family friend suggested Louisa advance her training as a make-up artist in the emerging industry of permanent make-up, she set out to explore the world of body art. Art on the human canvas quickly ignited her creative soul, which had been tempered by the loss of her father followed quickly by her mother's cancer diagnosis all in a short period of time.
She discovered that mastectomy tattoos, the creation of the image of a realistic nipple on post-mastectomy reconstruction patients, was her true calling. Louisa pursued advanced training and mentorship in tattooing and took steps to found a different type of tattoo shop in Louisville, that would specialize in nipple tattoos, plus permanent make-up and body art.
Bluebird Ink Beautique has its home in what she, and other residents, affectionately call BuLu, that strip of Main St. between Market and Washington, transitioning from NuLu to Butchertown. Nested above Red Hot Roasters, Bluebird is a haven for both women and men seeking a partner in the process of self-evolution and renewed beauty. The space is inviting, bright, open, and peaceful. She designed it that way on purpose, to be a place that anyone could feel comfortable, especially those who would not feel comfortable in most tattoo shops. This is especially important for those clients seeking closure on their cancer journey.

When a woman is referred to Louisa, primarily through word of mouth in the survivor community, she knows that they could be coming from a wide variety of places on the spectrum of emotions that accompany the stages of cancer diagnosis and treatment. Some are still angry, others sad, some accepting, all resilient and ready to reclaim an aspect of their femininity stolen from them by disease.
Louisa takes the time to hear every woman's story, as much as they choose to share, learning who they are, what is important to them, and what they hope to receive through nipple tattoo reconstruction. She then talks them through identifying how they want their nipples to be. Maybe they want to recall the detail of their original nipples, from texture to color, reflecting every detail of what was lost. They are also free to make changes, or create a piece of art in place of the nipple, whatever they wish. The ultimate point is that the process empowers them to move forward however they choose to do so, owning the experience, celebrating survival, and stepping confidently into a future where they are every bit the women they were before…perhaps more.
Louisa in action, empowering women post-breast cancer!

Louisa shares these tattoos, per posting guidelines, on social media so that other survivors can know this restorative service is available, but Instagram and Facebook have been flagging her images and freezing her accounts repeatedly over the last year. We heard about this censorship and knew we had to help tell her story to be sure no woman missed out on the opportunity to have this life changing service just because it has become harder for Bluebird to spread the word.
Listen in on this week's episode of the #502LeaderSeries Podcast as we chat with Louisa about her full story, the founding of Bluebird Ink Beautique, and her dreams for the future of this restorative art!
Clients of all genders seek other services at Bluebird. From busy women looking to streamline their daily routine through the addition of permanent eyeliner, brow or lip enhancement, to those seeking an addition to their personal permanent art gallery, Louisa meets each client where they are, seeking to give them results that will bring them joy for the rest of their lives. Appointments are recommended. Go to BluebirdInked.com or call (502)609-2395 to learn more or request a consultation/appointment. You can also email bluebirdinked@gmail.com!

Sen. Kwame Raoul said Friday he'll remove one of the more contentious provisions in his concealed-carry legislation that required permit applicants to show they have "good moral character" before qualifying to carry a weapon in public.
Despite speculation he'd call the bill for a vote before senators left Springfield for the weekend, the Chicago Democrat held off, saying he lacks the 30 votes needed. His bill passed out of the Senate Executive Committee 10-4 on a party-line vote Thursday.
Opponents have cited the "good moral character" provision as too vague and a way local law enforcement could veto anyone's application.
Beyond that, Raoul said he's unlikely to change anything else in the bill.
Lawmakers, who are scheduled to be in session until the end of the month, have until June 9 to enact legislation due to a federal appellate court decision in December that struck down Illinois' last-in-the-nation ban on concealed carry.
Concerns have been raised on both sides of the debate about what could happen if lawmakers don't reach a compromise by June 9.
Pro-gun supporters say "constitutional carry" will set in and anyone with a Firearms Owner ID card could carry a weapon in public. Gun-control supporters like Raoul say municipalities could then enact ordinances, creating a "patchwork" of laws throughout the state.
In Raoul's bill, Springfield and the other 200-plus home-rule municipalities in Illinois would still have additional say over where people can carry a weapon in public. They would have a six-month window to set up gun-free zones in addition to the ones already specified in the bill.
Meanwhile, amendments could emerge as early as next week on the House's more permissive concealed-carry legislation, which preempts home-rule authority. That bill fell seven votes shy of approval in the House last month.
Sponsoring Rep. Brandon Phelps, R-Harrisburg, said some amendments are being considered such as a mass transit ban, upping the hours of training required and limiting reciprocity for other states.
Phelps and Raoul agree on one thing: "Constitutional carry" is a possibility if lawmakers do not act by June 9. The "mayhem," Phelps said, would work in gun-rights advocates' favor.
"You're going to have so many lawsuits that are going to be filed. You see, Chicago and Cook County are going to lose those lawsuits," Phelps said.

Could a new proposed particle help to detect Dark Matter?
Researchers at the University of Southampton have proposed a new fundamental particle which could explain why no one has managed to detect 'Dark Matter', the elusive missing 85 per cent of the Universe's mass.
Dark Matter is thought to exist because of its gravitational effects on stars and galaxies, gravitational lensing (the bending of light rays) around these, and through its imprint on the Cosmic Microwave Background (the afterglow of the Big Bang).
Despite compelling indirect evidence and considerable experimental effort, no one has managed to detect Dark Matter directly. Particle physics gives us clues to what Dark Matter might be, and the standard view is that Dark Matter particles have a very large mass for fundamental particles, comparable to that of heavy atoms. Lighter Dark Matter particles are considered less likely for astrophysical reasons, although exceptions are known, and this research highlights a previously unknown window where they could exist and, with very general arguments from particle physics, derives some surprising results.
The proposed particle has a mass of 100eV/c^2, only about 0.02 per cent that of an electron. While it does not interact with light, as required for Dark Matter, it does interact surprisingly strongly with normal matter. Indeed, in stark contrast to other candidates, it may not even penetrate Earth's atmosphere. Earth-bound detection is therefore not likely, so the researchers plan to incorporate searches into a space experiment planned by the Macroscopic quantum resonators (MAQRO) consortium, with whom they are already involved. A nanoparticle, suspended in space and exposed directly to the flow of Dark Matter, will be pushed downstream and sensitive monitoring of this particle's position will reveal information about the nature of this Dark Matter particle, if it exists.
Dark Matter may be a problem to be understood by crossing fields and looking for hidden possibilities.

Professional services firm Deloitte LLP has been hit with a $384-million class action on behalf of hundreds of lawyers working at a document-review company it acquired last year.
Andrew Monkhouse says all indications were that the workers should have been classified as employees.
In a statement of claim filed Monday, representative plaintiff Shireen Sondhi, a Toronto lawyer, alleges that Deloitte/ ATD Legal Services Professional Corp. saved millions in payroll deductions and benefits by misclassifying employees as independent legal contractors (who are exempt from certain protections under the Employment Standards Act).
While the Law Society of Upper Canada has yet to take a firm position on whether or not document review constitutes legal services — a hotly disputed issue that underpins the lawsuit — the plaintiff argues the work she did for ATD could not be considered legal work.
As a result, Sondhi claims she and her colleagues were for years denied statutory labour protections, such as notice of termination. They were also deprived of entitlements such as vacation pay and overtime — with even bathroom breaks docked from their overall compensation.
"These workers were supervised in Deloitte's offices, they didn't provide their own tools, or control their own schedules," said plaintiff's counsel Andrew Monkhouse in a statement. They were unable to hire others to subcontract their work. This all indicates they should be classified as employees, not independent contractors.
Despite the absence of statutory protections, the plaintiff alleges she and her class members agreed to the onerous conditions because they could ill afford to make demands of their employer amid Canada's cutthroat legal jobs market.
The conflict between Sondhi and her employer, however, only arose after Deloitte acquired ATD in January 2014. The claim alleges that, upon Deloitte's acquisition, the new parent company imposed terms on document-review workers that suggested a tacit acknowledgment of potential liability.
Deloitte required document reviewers to contract to an intermediary, Procom Consultants Group (also named in the suit), which then began withholding EI and CPP deductions. The claim alleges this intermediary served to minimize Deloitte's liability.
Procom then charged Deloitte a fee amounting to $3 per hour — a charge passed on to the document reviewers, who received no benefit from the arrangement. All told, the fee, along with the EI and CPP deductions, reduced the take-home pay of document reviewers from $50 per hour to just over $40 per hour.
Sondhi and a number of her colleagues objected to the new terms, which she claims resulted in her termination without notice via e-mail.
In an interview with Legal Feeds, Monkhouse further stresses, while the introduction of EI and CPP deductions seems to suggest an acknowledgement of an employment relationship, document reviewers continued to operate under the independent contractor model instituted by ATD even after the Deloitte acquisition.
I manage an employment agency very much like ProCom, and can say Sondhi has her anger misplaced as she should be angry at CRA. CRA has specific regulations for employment agencies like ProCom (and ourselves) where we have to treat sole proprietors as deemed agency employees for CPP and EI purposes. These sole proprietors (as I assume she is) are still legally their own businesses, but not for EI or CPP purposes. Had she been contracted directly by Deloitte (or its former company) directly as a sole proprietor, such CRA regulations would not apply and that is why previously, there were no such deductions. ProCom is just complying with CRA regulations in making those deductions as CRA, not ProCom wants the money. Sondhi will notice that her T4 issued by ProCom has her income under Box 81, and not Box 14 because she is legally a placement worker, and not an employee of the agency. Again, another CRA requirement.
Thanks for sharing the story! Interesting slant of what the industry is like elsewhere and what worries reviewers most.

Leo Woman
Meek, mild, colourless and self-effacing this lady is not. She's a queen, and expects to be treated like one. Even the more repressed Leo woman will show this side of her nature, although it may be heavily disguised under socially acceptable manifestations of good behaviour. The truth is that the Leo woman is intensely individual and not very good at being everybody's favorite model of conventionality. More often than not she'll be a troublemaker, or a woman who causes people to gossip about her. She has an intense need to live her own life in her own way, and that life has got to have a little colour and a little dynamism to it. Have you ever watched caged lionesses in a zoo, pacing back and forth and back and forth, their eyes furious and glaring, because they haven't got room to stretch out and run? That's what happens to the Leo woman when she's caged either by social expectations or a limiting relationship.
The Leo woman needs some place to express her creative impulses. Whether these are in the form of artistic talent, organizational ability, public relations ability, or whatever, she needs to be somebody special, and to do something extremely well that will earn her some sort of recognition. Recognition is as necessary to the Leo woman as the Leo man. If the Leo woman doesn't find an outlet, she's liable to try to get recognition either by getting every available male to fall in love with her, or by trying to play Pygmalion and shaping the lives of her husband and children. And exacting due recognition from them later for all she's done. This dynamic, energetic woman must have a stage on which to perform. Otherwise, she's liable to throw you off yours.
Leo women are often highly competitive. This may be in their field of work, where they need to shine. The Leo woman shouldn't have to be in a position of answering to somebody else all the time; she needs room to work with her own ideas, and come up with her own designs. Often Leo women are also highly competitive with their own sex, and it isn't really a sign that makes for good sisterhood unless the other sisters are willing to play Greek chorus to the main role. The Leo woman must have the role of leading lady. It's very typical to find her with a bevy of friends who all lean on her and need her advice and help. In part, it's because she's strong and also generous, and needs to be needed. In part, it's because she doesn't like competition.
Often Leo women extend this tendency to be the support to a weaker role into their relationships. You often see Leo women with some gentle and pleasant and basically indecisive men, who worships at their feet and gives them the devotion they need so badly, and who is also willing to be moulded. Many Leo women are afraid of stronger men, because they need to dominate; and this can be a great problem, because while it satisfies the Leonine needs it denies the feminine ones. And all too often the pattern in relationship is for the Leo woman to take charge, to make the decisions, to be the strong partner, and then to bitterly blame the man for being weak when she in fact has never given him a chance to be otherwise.
This is why it's so essential for the Leo woman to have some area of life where she can shine independent of her family. If this need is satisfied elsewhere, then she can relate to the people close to her in a less compulsive way.
The Leo woman is also very concerned with the image she gives in society. You won't often find her mousey and self-effacing; she's more likely to dress dramatically, act dramatically, and attract attention because of her sheer style and charisma. Take a Leo like Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Self-effacing she's not. She has a Scorpio ascendant, so is perhaps more underplayed than many Leo actresses and performers; but style is terribly important to her, and so is her dignity. Leo women don't like to play the fool or the victim. Their pride is ferocious.
Their gifts lie both in their capacity to be so intensely individual and so intensely alive, and in their loyalty and generosity to those they care about. Even more than the Leo man, the Leo woman is likely to offer devotion and steadfast love in relationships – provided she's treated well. But that's not fair enough, because she's somebody special and she knows it. Never, never, never take Leo for granted. The lioness has claws, and isn't averse to making a scene that would make more socially inhibited signs turn white and cold with shock. If you're looking for a woman who is also an individual, an individual to the hilt, then you'll like Leo. In fact, you'll even love Leo, for it's a sign that inspires intense responses. One thing that won't happen: you're not likely to overlook her.

The QT Lightning features the highest ozone output of the entire Queenaire line with a 0 – 60 timer which allows you to simply set the unit to shock the area being treated and then shuts itself off allowing the ozone to dissipate before the area is reoccupied.
It produces up to 1,800 mg/hr of ozone to deal with even your worst odor problems quickly and completely. All Queenaire models have a 5 year warranty and a 15 – 20 year life expectancy.
We bought the lightning for use around our church facilities and parsonage. Easy to set in a room, set the timer to an hour, let it treat the air, wait another hour, and we're done. Treats mustiness and that "old" stale room smell.
