Galvanic action or corrosion occurs between dissimilar metals when sufficient moisture is present to carry an electrical charge. In the "galvanic series," metals are arranged from most "noble" (least reactive to corrosion), gold and platinum, to least noble (most reactive to corrosion), magnesium. Rank the following metals from most to least noble: Copper, steel, silver, nickel, aluminum, titanium and lead. At which end would you place graphite?

The year was 1901. A new form of transportation was America's newest obsession…the bicycle. The one-man, pedal-powered bikes were all the rage. Turn-of-the-century Americans loved the freedom and easy of transportation that the bicycle afforded them. Everyone was hooked on bikes. Except for 21-year old William S. Harley and his 20-year old childhood buddy, Arthur Davidson. They found the hard work of pedaling a bike to be…well, hard work. Wouldn't it be nice, they dreamed, if a motorized bike did all the pedaling for you? Harley and Davidson's desire to take the pedal out of pedal-powered bikes ended with one of the greatest American icons, the Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

Asking Big Brother for Help
Harley and Davidson were convinced that their idea for a motorized bicycle was a viable one. If they could take the leg work out of riding a bike, folks could travel greater distances. In 1901, they set out to build a motorcycle, but there was just one problem. Neither one of them knew how. They conned Arthur Davidson's older brother, Walter, to return home to Milwaukee from his job as a railroad machinist in Kansas with the promise that he could be the first to ride their new motorcycle. Walter Davidson was a bit surprised and angry to find, when he arrived home, that the motorcycle had not yet been built and that the Arthur Davidson and his friend, William Harley, expected him to build it. They had left that detail out of their letter to him.

A Factory in a Shed
The older Davidson brother quickly got over his tiff and helped his little brother and his friend set up shop in an old backyard shed. The first thing the overly-ambitious young men did was to paint a sign on the front door of the shed that read "The Harley-Davidson Motor Company." After much debate, it was decided that William Harley would be named first because he was the first to suggest building a motorized bicycle.

A Working Motorcycle
A third Davidson brother, William Davidson, joined the others. The four young men crowded into the 10-foot by 15-foot shed and got down to business. They built the first three Harley-Davidson motorcycles in 1903 by using a bicycle crank and a single cylinder engine. The motorized bike had pedals and a leather drive belt. To get it going, the rider had to first pedal it to build up the compression in the engine. But the bike did what they envisioned. It operated without pedaling. There was still plenty of room for improvements.

In their first two years in business, Harley and the Davidson brothers made a total of six motorcycles. By 1905, they were making seven per year, but demand was increasing. They built a larger factory in Milwaukee in 1906 which allowed them to build fifty motorcycles in 1907. In two year's time, they increased production to a thousand motorcycles per year and had 35 employees on the payroll.

A Two-Cylinder Innovation
William Harley was proud of the work they were doing but eager to see motorcycles with more power and speed. He started work on a two-cylinder engine, or V-Twin engine, as he called it. This engine allowed the motorcycles to reach the unheard-of speed of 60 miles per hour. Sales skyrocketed. More innovations followed, like a chain drive to replace the leather drive belt and a step-starter to replace the pedal starter. The Harley-Davidson was becoming less like a bicycle with each innovation.

A Brilliant Sales Strategy
Arthur Davidson had an audacious idea to reach an untapped market with their fast, reliable motorcycles—the United Stated government. In the early decades of the 20th century, mail carriers, police officers, and military personnel all used pedal-powered bicycles as a quick and agile form of transportation. Davidson was convinced that local and federal government agencies would benefit from replacing bicycles with motorcycles and he set about making sales contacts in these departments. It paid off. Soon there were nearly five thousand Harley-Davidson motorcycles being used for mail delivery and many more used by the police and military.

Building the Harley-Davidson Culture
By the 1930s and 1940s, Walter Davidson realized that much of the appeal of the motorcycle was the look and feel of it. Riding a motorcycle called to mind the rugged, hearty, American maverick, something akin to a cowboy in the old west. To capitalize on the burgeoning Harley-Davidson culture, Walter Davidson began selling accessory items to help perpetuate the motorcycle look…clothing, boots, leather chaps, and saddlebags. The American market loved it. Even today, Harley-Davidson accessories account for a big chunk of sales.

In the post-World War II era, the Harley-Davidson motorcycle became a symbol of freedom and the open road. The speed, power, and reliability of the motorcycle meant that Harleys were the gold standard in motorcycles, a reputation they still enjoy today. Harley-Davidson motorcycles were the symbol of the bad-boy rebels of the 1960s, the free-spirited hippies of the 1970s, and the prosperous 1980s yuppy with a need for speed. The all-American motorcycle weathered in an influx of competition from Japan to remain an icon of American ingenuity. All because two young men were too lazy to pedal their own bicycles.

Play Bingo, make a friend and raise funds, too
JULIE GARRETT Sun staff writer
We all need friends. Whether we're in kindergarten or 80 years old, we need someone to share our joy and sorrow, a pal to laugh with, a buddy to help us shoot the breeze.
At times, we need someone just to sit with us and share a companionable silence; another's very presence can be comforting.
Friends Across the Ages is a non-profit organization that sends volunteers into area nursing homes to befriend elderly residents. Its mission truly is as its name implies - this group helps people build friendships that unite generations and grow understanding and compassion.
On Saturday, May 8, Friends Across the Ages is holding its first fund-raiser, a Bingo-A-Thon.
The idea is to send volunteers into area nursing homes to play Bingo with residents from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m.
They'll play five games total, and the fund-raising comes into play when the volunteers collect pledges from their friends and family, per Bingo game. You can read about the event and download pledge forms at www.bingoathon.com.
"We're trying to get groups from churches and high school Key Clubs to participate," says Steve Blay, the group's director. "We want a good, large group of people who have never been in nursing homes before."
He says children are welcome to participate if their parents come along. High school kids, of course, can attend the fund-raiser without parental supervision.
One hundred percent of the donations will go directly to the program.
"The Bingo-A-Thon has a dual purpose," says Blay. "It's a fund-raiser for us, and we're also getting people into the nursing homes to play with the residents."
Later that day, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., volunteers are invited to a celebratory party for Friends that will be held at Barr Systems in northwest Gainesville. It's Friends' annual volunteer appreciation party.
"Everything's been donated for that party," says Blay. "We don't want people to think we're raising pledges to throw a party."
Friends provides training and ongoing support for its volunteers, who in turn make a minimum, three-month commitment to the program.
Call Blay at (352) 381-1117 or send an e-mail to info@acrosstheages.org for more information about Friends Across the Ages.

The 1975 Mercury Comet was a transitional car. Designed in the freewheeling late-1960s, this later version had to contend with 1970s government regulations, which is plain to see from those massive mandated bumpers.
The Comet name had been applied to various Mercury compacts throughout the 1960s, and the design that debuted in 1971 shared just about everything but extra trim bits with the Ford Maverick.
Find a Ford Maverick near you with BestRide's local search.
Clearly this Comet, which we spotted on a Trader Joe's run here in San Francisco, was formed with one set of rules and then had to conform to another set. Besides emissions and safety regs, the bumpers had to be upgraded to withstand a five-mile-per-hour blow. The thin chromed ribbons on the 1971 Comet weren't up to that task – they were more about accenting the Comet's ample curves than sustaining an impact.
That's precisely why insurance companies pushed for something more substantial; they wanted an actual bumper, one that would bring down the costs of minor collision.
And that's what they got with these trestle-like impact beams. In front, the Comet had a V-shape bent into its center to conform to a similarly-shaped grille.
Things were much simpler in back, with a thick flat bar spanning the car beneath the tail lights.
The vinyl bumper rub strips and vertical bumper guards would be an extra $136 in today's dollars. Nice that the effort was made to add a textured finish.
In a city where drivers regularly park by feel – the feel being repeated bumps, particularly to the car behind – the plastic aprons that form the ends of today's cars do not have the starch of the Comet's much-metal approach to the impact-absorbing dilemma.
Compare the Comet's armory to the Volkswagen Beetle next to it; a bang between the two would be no contest.
That's because the Comet was never meant to have actual bumpers. So all that forward-leaning front sheetmetal needed a wide berth beneath to provide real protection.
The result was something so wide that it could double as a seat at the tailgate parties, with a V in the middle for good measure.

Ford's 5-mph bumpers sure didn't seem to have much thought put into them…they look like battering-rams. Chryslers of the day had a much more elegant bumper design that almost blended in with the styling, and seemed much less obtrusive. Btw, according to Hagerty Price Guide, a '71 #3 condition Maverick is worth $3200 more than a comparable Thunderbird 4-door Landau! Go figure!

Last week my mother had the chance try out Strand Maximizer, a product to help conceal thinning hair. She, like myself, has baby fine hair to begin with. On top of that she has been noticing her hair thinning as she gets older and closer to the 50 mark. It happens to everyone and is a natural part of life. She gave it a test run and was very pleased with it. It helped her conceal thin spots and make her hair look fuller. It gives that little extra boost of confidence.

Muslim women not used to drinking walk free after attack on woman
A gang of Somalian women who repeatedly kicked a young woman in the head walked free from court after a judge heard they were "not used to being drunk" because they were Muslim.
Rhea Page and her partner Lewis Moore Photo: Hotspot Media
12:20PM GMT 06 Dec 2011
The four women - three sisters and their cousin - were told the charge of actual bodily harm, which carries a maximum sentence of five years, against 22-year-old care worker Rhea Page would normally land them in custody.
However, the judge handed the women suspended sentences after hearing that they were not used to alcohol because their religion does not allow it.
Miss Page said Ambaro Maxamed, 24, Ayan Maxamed, 28, and Hibo Maxamed, 24, and their 28-year-old cousin Ifrah Nur screamed "Kill the white slag" while kicking her in the head as she lay motionless on the ground.
The support worker from Leicester was left "black and blue" with bruises and needed hospital treatment following the attack which came as she walked to a taxi rank with her boyfriend.
Miss Page was left so traumatised by the attack that she lost her job due to repeated absences with stress and flashbacks.

Attack on Rhea Page captured on CCTV
She had been walking home with her boyfriend after a night out when the drunken women attacked her, knocking her to the ground and taking turns to kick her in the head.
She said: "I had gone for a drink after work and then I met my boyfriend for a couple more before heading home.
"We didn't want to stay out too late so we went to get a taxi and all of a sudden I heard these women shouting abuse at me.
"We were just minding our own business but they kept shouting 'white bitch' and 'white slag' at me.
"When I turned around one of them grabbed my hair - she literally wrapped her fingers in my hair - then threw me on the ground. That's when they started kicking me.
"They were taking turns to kick me in the head and back over and over. I was lying on the ground the whole time, crying and screaming. It was terrifying. I thought they were going to kill me.
"Eventually the police came but it felt like ages. Afterwards I was covered in blood and hair. I had a bald patch on my head where they had yanked my hair out and I was black and blue all over.
"I honestly think they attacked me just because I was white. I can't think of any other reason."
She suffered bruises and grazes to her head, back, legs and arms, and had clumps of hair pulled out.
She attended Leicester Crown Court for the sentencing of her attackers.
The women all admitted actual bodily harm and received suspended sentences.
Miss Page claimed that not jailing the women sent out the wrong message about street violence.
CCTV footage of the assault, which happened on June 18 last year, was shown in court.
Sentencing, Judge Robert Brown said: "This was ugly and reflects very badly on all four of you. Those who knock someone to the floor and kick them in the head can expect to go inside, but I'm going to suspend the sentence."
He said he accepted the women may have felt they were the victims of unreasonable force from Miss Page's partner Lewis Moore, 23, who tried desperately to defend her from the attack.
During the hearing, James Bide-Thomas, prosecuting, said Ambaro Maxamed, who started the violence, had called Miss Page a "white bitch" during the incident.
Nur, who joined in the attack after initially acting as a peacemaker, said it was in fact the victim's partner who had been racially abusive, but Mr Bide-Thomas said that was not accepted by the prosecution.
Gary Short, defending Ambaro Maxamed, said the attack was down to alcohol.
He said: "Although Miss Page's partner used violence, it doesn't justify their behaviour.
"They're Somalian Muslims and alcohol or drugs isn't something they're used to."
As well as the suspended sentence, Hibo Maxamed, who needs dialysis three times a week for a kidney complaint, received a four-month curfew between 9pm and 6am.
The others were ordered to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work.

6 Benefits of Chia Seeds: Everything You Need to Know
Medically reviewed by Kathy W. Warwick, R.D., CDE, Nutrition — By Stephanie Watson — Updated on Jul 14, 2021
Hydration and digestion
How to eat them
Chia is going through a renaissance of sorts. The little black specks once known for growing lush bounties of Chia-Pet hair are actually edible seeds that come from the desert plant Salvia hispanica (technically part of the mint family).
Way before it became famous as a sprouting pet, the chia seed was a go-to food in Mayan diets and the basic survival ration of the Aztec army. For years, those in-the-know have praised the seed for its nutritional benefits — especially for promoting heart health.
With benefits ranging from lowering cholesterol to filling you up and preventing blood sugar spikes, this little seed deserves a closer look. Get out your magnifying glass and get ready to dive into chia and all of its nutritional benefits.
Enrique Díaz / 7cero/ Getty United
1. Chia seeds are nutritional powerhouses
For as tiny as they are, chia seeds really have it all. Picture your perfect mate, but in teeny tiny food form.
A 1-ounce serving has nearly 5 grams (g) of protein and 10 g of fiber (up to 35 percent of our daily requirement), all for less than 140 calories. It also contains respectable amounts of B vitamins, and minerals like calcium, phosphorous, potassium, and magnesium.
Head-to-head against other highly nutritious foods, chia seeds are a clear winner. A research review showed that they have 6 times more calcium, 11 times more phosphorous, and 4 times more potassium than a glass of milk. And they've got more niacin than corn, soybeans, and rice.
2. They're good for your heart
Omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids, the good-for-you kind of fats you'll find in fish like salmon and tuna, help ward off high blood pressure, high blood sugar (aka diabetes), and high cholesterol. That adds up to a reduced risk of developing heart disease. You'll also find omega-3s in chia seeds — lots of them.
Chia seeds are really oily, but not in a bad way. In fact, the name "chia" comes from the Aztec language word meaning "oily."
A research review showed that the oil of the chia seed contains 25 percent omega-3s and 75 percent omega-6s, which is a beneficial ratio for those fatty acids. Note that if you're trying to optimize your omega-3 intake, plant sources like chia seeds are not as easily converted into the types needed by your body as animal sources like fish oil. So, you'll still reap some benefits, but you may want to talk with your doctor or a registered dietician to see what sources they recommend for you.
3. They're brain food
Who said whole grains have to come in slices? Chia has more protein than grains like wheat, oats, and barley. And, because they're gluten-free, people with celiac disease or a gluten intolerance don't have to avoid them.
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. We need them to make our bodies run smoothly. Chia seeds have 18 of them, including glutamic acid, which helps keep our brain sharp.
4. They fill you up
Harvard University says that chia has twice the fiber of bran, and 4 to 5 times the fiber of almonds or quinoa. It's mainly the soluble kind of fiber, which slows digestion and (ahem) keeps you regular.
Slowing things down in your digestive tract has some benefits. When food digests slowly, your blood sugar stays on an even keel and you don't get hungry again as quickly.
The Chumash, a Native American tribe that lived in southern and central California, got the memo. They ate chia seeds on long runs to deliver messages between villages. But even people who aren't taking off on a 100-mile run can get the advantage of the extended energy boost these seeds offer.
5. They're antioxidant all-stars
So, you know how your body uses oxygen to make energy, and that process can generate harmful substances called free radicals that can damage your cells? No? Trust us, it does.
Free radicals are at least partly to blame for heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, diabetes, and stroke. Antioxidants are substances that protect against these bad boys, and chia seeds are full of them. They have hefty amounts of antioxidants compared to other whole food sources — even more than the oft-praised blueberry.
6. They help with hydration — and slow digestion
Chia might just be a water bottle's best friend. Chia seeds absorb up to 12 times their weight in water, which helps our bodies stay hydrated longer and improves overall endurance. Their magical gelling effect makes chia an excellent replacement for eggs or oil in baking.
When mixed with gastric juices (yum!), the seeds form a gel, creating a barrier to digestive enzymes so their carbohydrates break down slowly and release glucose (that's sugar) at a steady rate.
The gel could help prevent spikes in blood sugar, unlike some other carbohydrates we know (ahem, white sugar). This "gel when wet" phenomenon also helps us feel fuller, as the seeds suck up digestive juices and expand, taking up some of the empty space that would otherwise make our bellies grumble.
Adding chia into your daily diet
Luckily, this is one protein source that's easy to stomach, since the human body can easily digest chia seeds. Unlike other seeds, chia seeds don't have to be ground up before eating.
And the taste? Chia seeds are quite tasteless, actually, which makes them an easy add to almost any snack or dish. Mix them with a favorite smoothie. Add them to cereal, salad, granola, or just about anything else.
Chia also makes a great thickener for soups, sauces, and desserts. Let them sit in almond milk (or other milk types) and watch it morph into a pudding-like consistency.
You can find chia seeds at health markets, online, or at many bigger chain grocery stores. There are even organically grown varieties, for the organic-inclined.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Aug. 7, 2008) - Santa Fe Metals Corporation (TSX VENTURE:SFM) (the "Company") has received a favourable NI 43-101 compliant Technical Report on its Cuatro Cienegas Project located in the State of Coahuila, Mexico. The full report is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and will be made available on the Company's web site at www.santafemetals.com. The report was independently authored by Michael G. Bersch Ph.D., Licensed Professional Geologist, a qualified person pursuant to regulatory policies. Completion of the report allows the Company to begin the planning of a 1,000 tonnes per day copper leaching operation at the property.
Cuatro Cienegas is a high-grade copper project (with silver, lead & zinc) slated for production in late-2009. The Company intends to develop underground exploration drifts as part of its exploration program of this flat lying sedimentary copper system. Material gathered will be processed on site in a conventional acid heap leach operation to produce cement copper which can be shipped directly to a smelter for refining. This type of process has existed for centuries and is a reliable, cost-effective way of producing copper. Recovery of copper from copper oxides using this process is typically in the range of 85%. Other metals, however, are not recovered in the process. Any revenues generated from the operation will be used to fund exploration activities on this and other Company properties. Information gathered from the process can be used to establish resource estimates at Cuatro Cienegas. The Company cautions that no Feasibility Study has been completed at this time. The process is primarily for exploration and there is no certainty that its planned operation will be cash flow positive.
In the author's opinion, mineralization, stratigraphy, and structure are favourable for the occurrence of a classic, large-scale strata-bound copper-silver-lead-zinc deposit. Further exploration has been recommended, consisting of a preliminary geological mapping, sampling and surveying program, the results of which will be used to devise a more detailed exploration program.
In his report, Dr. Bersch concluded that the mineralization found in the Don Indio and El Granizo concessions is sediment-hosted stratiform copper-silver-lead-zinc mineralization of the Kuperschiefer-type (commonly referred to as "red-bed"). Deposit comparisons include Spar Lake (Troy), White Pine (Michigan, USA), Kupferschiefer district (Germany and Poland), and Zambia-Zaire copper belt (Zaire). Tabular deposits of this type have been known to extend laterally for tens of kilometers and vary in thickness from tens of centimeters to several meters. Within the Cuatro Cienegas project area, such lateral potential is indicated on the Don Indio concessions by mines and prospects along a strike length of at least five-kilometers and in El Granizo for approximately two kilometers on the opposite side of the valley. Previous exploration has identified copper-silver mineralization in the Don Indio concession at true thicknesses up to 23 meters. At El Granizo, the author estimated copper mineralization over a thickness of ten meters. Results of previous exploration conducted by others in historical workings at Don Indio have been reported and include a weighted average of 95 samples at 3.3% copper, and 117 g/t silver (from level 4 in the Pilar Grande mine); and a weighted average of 20 samples from level 1 in the San Marcos West mine at 3.0% lead, 5.0% zinc, and 53 g/t silver.
Santa Fe Metals Corp., through its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Compania Minera Coronado S.A. de C. V. (CMC), has acquired a 100% interest in the concessions comprising the Cuatro Cienegas property, which total 3,408 ha, subject to fulfillment of certain obligations including royalty payment.
CMC has initiated the process to obtain the necessary permits and has held discussions with a mining contractor to develop a design basis and costs.
This news release has been prepared by Ian Smith, B. E. Mining, F. Aus. I.M.M., and a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.
Santa Fe Metals Corp. is a diversified base and precious metals explorer with near-term copper production plans on its recently-acquired Cuatro Cienegas property. The Company is focusing its exploration efforts on the prolific Mexican gold, silver and CRD belts (silver, lead, zinc, copper) and has recently completed a Phase I exploratory diamond drilling program on its Lobos property. Assay results from this program are pending but should be available by month's end and will be reported at that time. The Company's management team and board of directors have over 200 years of combined industry experience, with numerous well-known success stories to their credit. Santa Fe is currently focused on evaluating and developing exploration plans for its Cuatro Cienegas, Lobos and Lorena properties and making additional acquisitions. Further information is available on the Company's website www.santafemetals.com.
This release contains forward-looking statements, including statements relating to Santa Fe Metals' future plans and objectives with respect to the exploration and development of its properties. Forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions and are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties inherent in Santa Fe Metals' business, including risks inherent in resource exploration and development. There can be no assurance that economic resources will be developed at any of its properties. Actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements.

Q: How can I convert a UNC Windows file path to a File URI without using any 3rd party tools or by hand? In a blog post from Microsoft they illustrate how a URI can be written to specify local system file paths.
When sharing the path to network share files some chat programs will open these files in a browser.
So I hand code the changes needed to turn the windows path to a file URI
UNC Windows path: \\sharepoint.business.com\DavWWWRoot\rs\project 1\document.txt

becomes
URI: file://sharepoint.business.com/DavWWWRoot/rs/project%201/document.txt

I am tired of hand coding every time and was wondering if there was a way of quickly converting to a File URI.
I don't have admin permissions on my machine so I can't install software.

A: The simplest approach is to use the .Net URI class from your PowerShell code:
[System.Uri]'\sharepoint.business.com\DavWWWRoot\rs\project 1\document.txt' will give you a URI, and then the "AbsoluteURI" property will give you that as a string.  So:
([System.Uri]'\\sharepoint.business.com\DavWWWRoot\rs\project 1\document.txt').AbsoluteUri

will give you what you want.

A: PowerShell is an excellent way to automate tedious recurring tasks like the above!
Using PowerShell
Converting the above UNC path into a file URI is extremely simple using PowerShell (all versions), and requires only the format and replace operators, for example:
$Path = "\\sharepoint.business.com\DavWWWRoot\rs\project 1\document.txt"

# replace back slash characters with a forward slash, url-encode spaces,
# and then prepend "file:" to the resulting string

# note: the "\\" in the first use of the replace operator is an escaped
# (single) back slash, and resembles the leading "\\" in the UNC path
# by coincidence only

"file:{0}" -f ($Path -replace "\\", "/" -replace " ", "%20")

Which yields the following:
file://sharepoint.business.com/DavWWWRoot/rs/project%201/document.txt

As a Reusable Function
Finally, recurring tasks like the above should be made into PowerShell functions whenever possible. This saves time in the future, and ensures each task is always executed in exactly the same way.
The following function is an equivalent of the above:
function ConvertTo-FileUri {
    param (
        [Parameter(Mandatory)]
        [string]
        $Path
    )

    $SanitizedPath = $Path -replace "\\", "/" -replace " ", "%20"
    "file:{0}" -f $SanitizedPath
}

Once the function has been defined (and loaded into the current PowerShell session), simply call the function by name and provide the UNC path to convert as a parameter, for example:
ConvertTo-FileUri -Path "\\sharepoint.business.com\DavWWWRoot\rs\project 1\document.txt"

A: There is a simple and safe online converter doing this job: UNC Path to File URI Online Converter.
It is implemented with Javascript and the transformation is done completely in the browser so the path is not submitted to any server.

A: Combining what Andrew and Devyn came up with i have this function that accepts file paths that are relative as well such as ".\Documents\test.txt":
function ConvertTo-FileUri {
    param (
        [Parameter(Mandatory)]
        [string]
        $Path
    )
    ([system.uri](Get-Item $Path).FullName).AbsoluteUri
}

Generations of preschoolers have been entertained by Eric Carle's illustrations for Bill Martin Jr.'s Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? The beloved creature has turned 50, and to celebrate, a tap-and-touch encounter with the book's characters has been released. Cindy Wall reviews it below.
Eric Carle's Brown Bear Animal Parade (Story Toys Entertainment, iOS, $1.99; PreS) celebrates the 50th anniversary of Bill Martin Jr.'s classic title Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? Rather than a recitation of the book's text with added interactive elements, this is a new exploration of the book's premise, set to music.
When the app opens, users are greeted with parade-themed music and Brown Bear, who, along with his friends, has been created in Carle's signature, hand-painted, vividly colored collage style. Tapping the screen sends Brown Bear on his way through a nature-inspired setting surrounded by lots of white space, passing by tufts of grass that release hidden butterflies and fireflies to the touch. Close observers will discover Carle's most famous creation from The Very Hungry Caterpillar chomping happily away in the trees. On his walk, Brown Bear meets his eight animal friends from Brown Bear, all of whom lack their original coloring until tapped. As each subsequent creature joins the parade it adds its own tune. Users may alter the lively music with a touch to the animals, or record their own sounds, but the characters may not be customized. The parade culminates with a splash of confetti.
The app's noncompetitive environment and limited options will best be appreciated by young viewers. A trailer is available. VERDICT An app best suited for one-on-one sharing between a toddler and adult after a reading of the book.—Cindy Wall, Southington Public Library, CT.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – A frigid Florida winter is taking its toll on your sandwich. The Sunshine State is the main U.S. source for fresh winter tomatoes, and its growers lost some 70 percent of their crop during January's prolonged cold snap.
At Costello Sandwich and Sides in Chicago, which uses 10 to 15 cases of tomatoes a week and is now paying $25 a case instead of $15, customers can expect to get a bit less tomato on their sandwiches. The shop hasn't raised prices or stopped serving tomatoes altogether, but manager Matthew Villareal says he can see the tomatoes are soft when the prep cooks are cutting them.
"The tomato prices definitely have gone up and the quality isn't so great either," he said. "We just kind of eat the cost."
An unusually cold January in Florida destroyed entire fields of tomatoes — along with some green beans, sweet corn and squash. The cold scarred the tomatoes, damaged their vines, and forced many farmers to delay their harvest.
The average wholesale price for a 25-pound box of tomatoes is now $30, up from $6.50 a year ago. Florida's growers would normally ship about 25 million pounds of tomatoes a week; right now, they're shipping less than a quarter of that, according to Reggie Brown of the Florida Tomato Grower's Exchange, a tomato farmer cooperative in Maitland.
"Anecdotally, from talking to some real long timers, as well as people who watch the weather, this has been the most extended cold in maybe 60 years," said Terry McElroy, spokesman for the Florida Department of Agriculture.
Industry estimates suggest that about two-thirds of the tomato crop in the major southwestern production region was destroyed, according to a Feb. 25 United States Department of Agriculture report.
There's more bad news, Brown said: Because of the continued cold weather — 38-degree temperatures were predicted Friday in some central Florida growing areas — the current crop of fruit isn't as far along as everyone had hoped.
"We thought they'd recover by early April, but now it's mid- April," he said.
And because high demand has driven up domestic prices, many wholesalers are buying from Mexico instead.
"We're obviously losing market share to Mexico, and there's always a price to pay to get the customer to get back into the Florida market," Brown said.
Florida is the only place where tomatoes are grown on a large scale in the U.S. during winter. California doesn't grow them until later in the year, and much of that state's crop is used for processed foods, such as ketchup, sauce and juice. Other states grow tomatoes in greenhouses year- round, but Florida's winter tomato crop is by far the largest.
At Subway restaurants, the timing of this year's shortage was fortuitous: It hit right when the sandwich chain switches its tomato purchases from Florida to other regions.
While they so far haven't been impacted, managers are ordering different varieties of tomatoes to keep supplies steady, a spokesman said Thursday.
McDonald's Corp., CKE Restaurants Inc., which owns Hardees and Carl's Jr., and Darden Restaurants, the nation's biggest casual dining chain, which owns Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Longhorn Steakhouse, Capital Grille and Seasons 52, said it's business as usual and no shortages are being reported.
Some Wendy's restaurants posted signs saying tomatoes would only be provided upon request because of limited availability.
But smaller restaurants are feeling the pinch. In Chicago, where a hot dog isn't a hot dog without chopped tomatoes, you might end up with just a bit less on the bun.
"We're a little more careful with our tomatoes," admitted Bill Murphy, owner of Murphy's Red Hots, which uses 75 to 100 pounds of the fruit a week. "You still owe it to your customers to get them out there and get them on the dogs. You try to get an extra piece out of every tomato if you can. You don't toss them around like they're pennies, you toss them around like they're quarters."

I've been working on eliminating the toxic chemicals in our house for a few years now. I started thinking about all the toxins we come into contact with during the day – shampoos, conditioners, soaps, detergents, dish soap, floor polish, the list goes on and on and it's really overwhelming.
Things have really changed this year, and I've been able to eliminate so much in the past few months. It all really kicked into gear when I got my starter kit of essential oils from Young Living. Not only did I get the oils to just make the house smell good, but I've also started making my own shampoo using four simple ingredients, I can mop the floor with no toxins at all, I make my own sugar scrub that I use for shaving and exfoliating, plus so much more.
My favorite thing I've done, though, is eliminate the toxic chemicals that I was using in my laundry. It's really intense when you think about how much our laundry, and the chemicals used, can affect our daily life. We are constantly wearing clothes that were washed in the chemicals, sleeping in sheets with chemicals, washing our faces with washcloths, drying off after showers, etc, etc, etc.
I found this website: The Environmental Working Group, that breaks down things and grades them based on the chemicals and toxins in them. I found my old laundry soap, the one that I bought because it was supposed to be chemical free and natural (the one I bought to wash our diapers, the things that are closest to our baby's skin) – and it had a D grade. That isn't good.
Now I make my own toxin free laundry soap and I've been really happy with it. It has simple, natural ingredients, that when individually entered into the EWG website come up clean. Here's another surprise: Borax scores really poorly, in face it scores an F. This is something that a lot of people put into their homemade laundry soap but it has concerns for reproductive health among other things. So, I skip the borax.
My recipe is super easy and lasts a long time.
Just grate the soap, add the rest of the ingredients and store in an airtight container. I use 1-2 Tbs per load. For the essential oils, I like to add Purification, Lavender, whatever smells good.
Another huge contributor to chemicals in laundry are those stain removers. We've always had a bottle of that on the shelf and the amount of perfume has always bothered me. I looked up the kind we've used and guess what – D. It may get the stain out, but at what cost? A moderate concern for respiratory distress, asthma, developmental and reproductive problems and cancer. Doesn't seem worth it to me.
I have another solution. I bought Young Living's Thieves Laundry Soap a couple months ago, but since I'm cheap and love a DIY, I only use it as a stain remover. I just take about a tablespoon of the laundry soap, rub it into the stain and throw it into the washing machine (sometimes I let it soak for a bit). I don't even add more of my homemade soap because a 1 Tbs of the Thieves Laundry Soap is all you need for a whole load of laundry, thus that tablespoon is doubling as stain remover and laundry soap. That's music to my deal-loving ears. Also EWG hasn't graded Thieves yet, but I went through the ingredients list and most things are A and a couple are B, so I'd guess it's around an A-, which is way better than the D I was using before.
So, there you have it. Go to the EWG webpage and enter in your laundry detergent and dryer sheets and stain remover and decide if you want to keep using them.
I love this toxin free laundry soap and that I'm not leaching toxic chemicals into our clothes and towels and sheets. I love that my clothes get clean. I love that we're saving money.
Oh, here's a bonus! If you sign up for Young Living this month (September), not only will you be getting a diffuser, eleven bottles of essential oils, lots of other good stuff, but they're also throwing in a bottle of Thieves Laundry Soap. There's really no reason not to try it now!
I jumped on the Young Living bandwagon just a couple months ago. I wanted to do something to promote wellness for our family, and essential oils seemed like a great place to start. My friend Megan (I've written about her before here and here) invited me to an informational DIY oil party. I'll be honest, I went to the party with a healthy amount of skepticism. I thought I would go, smell some oils, make something fun to take home, and maybe I'd buy a bottle or two from Megan in the future.
I went to the party and listened to everyone's stories about oils. People went on and on about how the oils had changed their lives. The scents were uplifting and inspiring, causing people to go through their lives with better attitudes and get more done. These people, with conditions and occasional aches and pains, were supporting their bodies in amazing ways! I started to feel like there must be something to all this oily mumbo jumbo – either that or Megan hired a bunch of very convincing actors to come to the party just to fool me.
I looked through all the literature they had and decided that getting a Premium Starter Kit was the best idea. The Kit is pretty amazing. It is full of 11 of the best, most versatile essential oils that Young Living offers, along with samples of a few others. Making it an even better idea (and deal) is that it also comes with an oil diffuser.
I started diffusing right away. I instantly noticed a change in my house. It smelled delicious and my mood was instantly enhanced. I was invigorated and inspired. I started making things like sugar scrubs, bath bombs, smoothies, and teas! I also made salves, room sprays, shampoo, and cleaning supplies all from The Droppery (an amazing oily resource).
I am sold. Now, when I go to the oil parties, I'm the person sitting there, talking about all the lovely and amazing things oils can do.
The only problem was that I didn't have a way to carry my oils from home to work and everywhere else. I decided to change that and designed the Essential Pouch!
I'm calling this the Essential Pouch because it's prefect for carrying around your four favorite – or essential – bottles.
I have plans to make many more oily accessories, but this is a good place to start. It is a quilted 4-pocket pouch that can hold 5ml bottles, 15ml bottles, or roller balls. It is fully padded, and has a snap closure.
You can buy one today, at my Etsy shop, CaroMadeCo! I have it available in three different fabrics, and have more on the way. I'm also thinking of ways I can make things that will hold more than 4 bottles. This, and any other things I make in the future, will be available on CaroMadeCo really soon.
Here's the giveaway! I will send one of these Essential Pouches to anyone who orders a Premium Starter Kit through me before June 30th, 2016. To get started with your Kit, click here or send me an email (carolynfwilliams at gmail dot com). It will take you to the signup page and you can get started. I'm also happy to help you through the process if you'd like help!
Why do you want to choose Young Living for your essential oils?
UNMATACHED SELECTION. We're all different and with the most single and blend choices offered by an essential oil company, you're sure to find lots of oils that you love.
UNMATCHED EXPERIENCE. As the leaders of the essential oil industry, Young Living has over 20 years of experience.
UNMATCHED QUALITY. Young Living sets the standard for essential oils. They go above and beyond with their SEED TO SEAL GUARANTEE.
I'm planning on having my own oil party pretty soon, so if you're local and would like to come learn more and make something fun to take home, let me know and I'll make sure to invite you!
I'm not a huge bath person. Wait, I should take that back. I love taking baths in a big, deep tub where I can just float around and relax. Unfortunately we have a super tiny (well, probably normal sized) tub, and I don't find that very relaxing. I decided to try making some bath bombs to up the relaxation game in my bathroom.
These are so great. The moment you drop them in the water, they just go berserk, fizzing all over the place. My girls love them in their baths, and I love how they are both moisturizing because of the oils, and add a calming scent to the whole bathroom.
I found quite a few different recipes around the internets, and settled on a combination of a few. Most recipes have the same basic ingredients, just different ratios or other things thrown in for fun.
Mix all ingredients together in a glass bowl. You can use a spoon, but you might as well just use your hands and get the benefit of the oils while you mix it all up. It should feel like wet sand, and hold together if you squeeze it in your hand. You can add more baking soda if it's too wet, or more oil if it's too dry.
There are silicone molds you can use, but I don't have one, and didn't want to spend the money on one, so I just used my mini-muffin tin. I just pressed the mixture into the cups. The more firmly you press the mixture in, the better it will solidify.
Let it dry for at least 24 hours, pop them out, and store in an airtight container, glass is always best.
Please let me know if you have any questions! I'd be happy to suggest some other oils, or help you get started with essential oils if you don't know where to begin!
Head over to my Instagram account for a giveaway of some of this sugar scrub! This part three of my 36 Things for 36 Years project. I'm giving away 36 things this year, and this week will be a whole week of oily giveaways! Details on how to enter here!
Also, make sure you enter my other Essential Oil Giveaways this week! Essential Oil Sugar Scrub can be found here!
Couldn't we all use a luxurious, exfoliating, moisturizing addition to our shower routine? This essential oil sugar scrub is seriously the best stuff ever. I've made it before with just sugar and oil, but adding the essential oils this time really takes it from wow to WOWZERS THIS IS AMAZING.
This couldn't be easier to make. It is just a few ingredients, and comes together in less than five minutes, no joke. And, get this, everything you need is probably in your kitchen right now. Which makes it easy, cheap, and edible. No harsh chemicals or things you can't pronounce. Just good, clean, delicious smelling fun!
1/2 cup carrier oil – I like a mix of 1/4 cup sweet almond oil and 1/4 cup coconut oil; this makes it smooth and creamy.
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. I find that using a mixer helps ensure that all the oils and sugar get fully incorporated – this is especially helpful if you're using coconut oil that is solid.
Pour into an jar and screw on a lid. Use a good scoop in the shower to exfoliate your skin and lock in moisture. Tip: do this near the beginning of the shower because the oils can make the shower floor slippery. I find that if I do it in the beginning, by the end of the shower all the oils have rinsed away with my soap and shampoo, and the next person who gets in won't slip and slide all around.
Energizing Citrus Fresh, Sacred Mountain, Frankincense.

title: Debugging Tree Grammars in ANTLRWorks
---

The current version of ANTLRWorks does not support tree grammar debugging directly. However, there is a way to get it to work using remote debugging. The ANTLR FAQ for debugging has some information on setting up remote debugging but it does not show the remaining steps for tree debugging.

	 1 import java.io.*;
	 2 import org.antlr.runtime.*;
	 3 import org.antlr.runtime.tree.*;
	 4 import org.antlr.runtime.debug.*;

	 9 Remember to change the following to suit your own project
	10  - XMLGrammarLexer
	11  - XMLGrammarParser
	12  - XMLTree
	13
	14 */
	15
	16 public class TreeTest {
	17
	18   public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
	19       CharStream input = new ANTLRFileStream(args[0]);
	20       XMLGrammarLexer lex = new XMLGrammarLexer(input);
	21
	22       // MODIFY: change document to the root rule
	23       ParseTreeBuilder builder = new ParseTreeBuilder("document");
	24
	25       // create a debug socket proxy to ANTLRWorks
	26       // MODIFY: change the name of the grammar file
	27       DebugEventSocketProxy AW = new DebugEventSocketProxy("/Users/vazexqi/Antlr/handGeneratedXMLGrammar/XMLTree.g");
	28       AW.handshake();
	29
	30       DebugEventHub hub = new DebugEventHub(builder, AW);
	31
	32       CommonTokenStream tokens = new CommonTokenStream(lex);

	34       XMLGrammarParser.document_return root = parser.document();
	35
	36       CommonTreeNodeStream nodes = new CommonTreeNodeStream((Tree)root.tree);
	37       XMLTree walker = new XMLTree(nodes, hub);
	38       try {
	39           // MODIFY: change to the rule that you want to follow
	40           walker.document();

	42           e.printStackTrace();
	43       }
	44

	46 }

	The original file is available from here.

And when you generate the relevant files for your grammar, you must use the - debug  option as such:

  java org.antlr.Tool XMLGrammar.g
  java org.antlr.Tool -debug XMLTree.g

Notice that you should not use the -debug option for the normal grammar file (the one that contains the parser/lexer). If you use the - debug option then it will try to debug the XMLGrammar.g file in addition to the XMLTree.g file and cause this error:

  error(10):  internal error: org.antlr.runtime.debug.DebugParser.reportError(DebugParser.java:88): java.net.BindException: Address already in use

Compile the necessary java files and run the program using java TestTree someFile. Then in ANTLRWorks, select Debugger > Debug Remote....


The park is 120 miles south of Fairbanks, or 240 miles north of Anchorage, on the George Parks Highway, which is the most common access route.
There is a second, seldom-used road to the park: the Denali Highway leads from Paxon, which is accessible from the Richardson Highway (it connects Fairbanks and Valdez) to Cantwell, coming out just south of the park entrance. This 134-mile road is mostly unpaved, with few services. Only people with high-clearance cars should try it. The Denali Highway is closed in winter.


I'm so thrilled to be able to share my story over at lymelightstories.com!
"How long do you believe you have had Lyme/tick-borne illness?"
"What types of treatments have you tried?"
"Any advice for someone newly diagnosed with Lyme?"
I'm amazed at how Lyme Disease manifests itself in each individual so differently. We truly are unique with different needs and considerations when it comes to treatment.
Click here to go to my Lyme Light Stories post!
There have been a lot of new changes recently and yet, this is one of the first times my life has started to feel stable again. It's really amazing to look back on the past eight months and see just how far I have come since my Lyme was triggered. And then I think about just how quickly things have improved since I started treatment only four months ago! It's a night and day difference and has brought me to tears more than once.
Lyme may have knocked me down for a little while, but I won't surrender.
I've even been able to take the kids to appointments without Zach and got out for a playdate. I'm not taking those regular things for granted anymore.
That being said, with a morning outing I know I need to schedule in a nap after, and I still can't do more than one or two things a day, but it's a huge improvement from curling up on the couch for hours in agony and being too anxious to leave the house. I'm so thankful for how far God has brought me so quickly!
For the first time, I was well enough to take the kids to visit Zach at his fire hall!
It was really nice to get out of the house with the kids again!
Yesterday, Zach and I celebrated our 9 year wedding anniversary! I'm so thankful for him and how sensitive he's been towards me; God knew what I needed in a husband! He's been so patient and compassionate with me through all the years I've been sick but undiagnosed, and even more so since we found out about the Lupus and Lyme. I can't publicly praise him enough for carrying me through so many rough seasons.
To celebrate, we spent the day as a family at the zoo. I was a little nervous knowing it's typically a two hour outdoor (in the sun!) excursion but I figured it would be a good test to see how much my body can do now. I was pleasantly surprised! For the most part, my body cooperated with me and we had a wonderful time.
I'm looking forward to this weekend when Zach and I are going to get away together for a nice dinner and a little R&R.
I was even able to push the stroller most of the time. Zach took over when I started to fade.
I'm almost done my four week round of antibiotics and like expected, I'm feeling a little worse (nausea, headaches, that yucky feeling) but overall nothing too crazy. I've been detoxing A TON to keep the herxing minimal and I think that has made a world of a difference. I'm really very fortunate to have such a detox arsenal at my fingertips. I'm expecting (hoping) to start feeling a lot better once I'm finished these antibiotics! But it looks like I'll be coming back to them intermittently in the future.
I've also been cleared to ditch the SIBO diet and go back to my Ketogenic diet - hooray! I bet you've never heard anyone cheer about that before!
It's proving difficult to get back into ketosis (seems like everything has sugar!), but I'm pushing through and trying to remember just how good my body felt in fat-burning mode. Not to mention I lost weight easily for the first time in my life (would you believe 25 lbs in those 3 months?) because the inflammation has finally started to subside. I don't plan to follow the ketogenic diet forever, but it sure is what my body needs right now while I am sick.
And the new treatment I just added to my protocol is Major Autohemotherapy - MAH. It's an IV treatment where they draw your blood, mix ozone gas into it, and then drip the product back into your veins. It's helpful for supporting your immune system so that you can fight infections with more oomph and also oxygenates the environment so borrelia cannot survive.
I thought it would be more uncomfortable than it ended up being, it was actually pretty painless! The biggest obstacle for me was getting past the fact that I was doing this because I'm sick; it can be hard emotionally to sit through treatments and think about the fact that I actually do have Lyme. And an hour and a half is a looooong treatment! It takes a while because we also do a Myer's drip to provide the vitamins and minerals necessary for the ozone therapy to be effective.
Ozone gas is incorporated into my blood before putting it back into my body (you can't straight up inject ozone gas).
This is what it looks like for the lab tech to mix ozone into the blood. It changes the colour to bright red!
I was actually blown away at how much better I felt the day after. I did so many little tasks and chores that I even mentioned to Zach how I felt like a regular healthy person again! It's really exciting to see the positive changes so quickly!
In moments like these, I'm so hopeful that I will be healed through medicine. I know I just need to keep going, keep appreciating the healing process, and keep my eyes focused on what is to come. Please don't stop praying for us!
A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to BC Lupus Society's Lupus Walk today! It was a gorgeous day to get outside and raise awareness for Lupus - a disease that affects around 3.5 million North Americans.
I'm so thankful to my friends and family that were able to show support by walking with me, as well as the many people who couldn't be there but support me none-the-less!
We came prepared slathered in sunscreen and this year Brooklyn and Caleb got their own shirts! I made it around the whole walk with ease and even a little kick in my step. Admittedly, even after an afternoon nap, I'm struggling a bit this evening (pain, headache, dizziness, nausea, fatigue) but it was nice to spend some time with loved ones outside.
Here are some highlights from our morning!
Treating chronic Lyme Disease is a very complex task! There is no simple medication, diet, or anything you can do by yourself to heal. And since Lyme Disease affects each individual so differently (like neurologically causing seizures compared to organ failure like me), everyone has to be treated on an individual basis. This is why there are so many protocols (and variations of) instead of a "silver bullet" medication.
I am so thankful to have such a wise Naturopath in Vancouver who has healed many people with Lyme Disease as well as the best Naturopathic team in Burnaby heading up all of my treatments. There is a huge arsenal to draw from so we can choose what will be the best for my body (and my children).
This is where it gets a little complicated. I want to share my current protocol with you because I believe it helps you understand me better when you have a snapshot into what my life looks like with Lyme Disease. I also hope that for other people living with chronic illness, you can see similarities and differences to what treatment you are receiving so that you can ask your own doctor what is best for you. I've found so much inspiration from researching what other people have done so I know that sharing is invaluable.
I'm so thankful that these treatments have been helping me to feel more like myself again. I can feel my body healing.
Detox, detox, detox! My life basically revolves around detoxing and supporting my body in the methylation pathways that it is lacking (which I found out from the 23andMe genetic test). My body has not been able to flush out toxins properly on its own so I need to help it along. I can't emphasize enough how much better I feel since detox has become a major part of my regime!
Diet: I focus on eating organic produce, local meat, farm eggs, and typically follow a ketogenic diet. Choosing to eat this way has helped to keep my inflammation under control while being nutrient-dense with limited exposure to pesticides and chemicals. I definitely don't want to be adding in any more toxins!
Detox baths: Every few days, I will have a nice hot soak in the tub (at least 30min) with a bunch of epsom salt, some baking soda, and essential oils (I like lavender or frankincense) to draw out toxins.
Infrared sauna: A good sweat goes a long way. The far infrared radiation helps to eliminate toxins that are stored in your fat cells by sweating instead of burdening the liver and kidneys. I actually feel noticeably better after using the infrared sauna!
Silymarin: Also known as milk thistle, this supplement supports your liver which is charge of detoxification.
Burbur-pinella: This brain-nerve cleanse helps for neurological problems (like brain fog) as it helps your body detox and keep herxes under control. You can take extra when herxing!
Parsley: This extract helps to open up detox channels.
Methylcobalamin: I have been self-injecting this methylated form of B12 (because my body is unable to make that conversion properly) as well as oral supplementation to help support my nervous system (brain) function and combat the chronic fatigue.
Myer's Cocktail: I'm still receiving IV treatments to help my body absorb vitamins and minerals more effectively while I am healing.
I never thought I'd look forward to an IV! The Myer's cocktail has been a game changer for me.
I've mentioned before that Lyme pain is serious pain. I've especially suffered with extreme back/spine pain and muscle spasms, headaches/migraines, and nerve pain in my feet. I'm a big fan of this list of holistic forms of treatment because they don't add more chemicals for my body to detox.
Acupuncture: This has been a recent addition to my protocol and it is already helping significantly. I used to receive acupuncture when I was in University and I think that is what kept my Lyme under control at that time in my life.
Chiropractor: Making sure my body is aligned is one of the only things that helps with my back pain and headaches.
Deep Blue Rub: I apply this DoTerra essential oil cream to my back, neck, and shoulders when I am in pain. The first time I used it, it took my pain level from an 8 down to a 4 in about 15 minutes!
CBD oil: Dr. E Murakami (MD) has been researching the benefits of hemp CBD oil (legal in BC where I am without a prescription) for Lyme patients. Not only is CBD oil amazing for pain management, anxiety, cancer, and seizures, but it has also been found to kill borrelia spirochetes and break through biofilm. In case you just missed that, CBD oil has been found to have antibiotic-like properties that KILLS LYME. No wonder Dr. Murakami is called "BC's Lyme Saviour". This oil has been the most significant for me with pain; I had a migraine disappear 10 minutes after a dose.
Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN): This prescription immunomodulator is great for decreasing pain and inflammation. Used often for autoimmune disorders (like Lupus!, RA, MS, Crohn's, Hashimotos), neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, autism, and pain conditions (like fibromyalgia or chronic migraines).
Neural Injections: We're going to inject some of my scars (like my big c-section scar from Brooklyn's birth) to help break up interference fields that cause problems like disautonomia, reset the action potentials for my nervous system, and clear out scar tissue where borrelia likes to accumulate.
While many of my efforts are to control symptoms, we're starting to fight back now as well. Not only am I battling borrelia, but also other (less significant) opportunistic infections, and small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). BUT PRAISE BE TO GOD that all of my Lyme co-infection tests came back negative!!!! This is a HUGE blessing.
Serrapeptase: To kill spirochetes (the active form of borrelia), you have to first poke holes in their biofilm. The biofilm is like a coating the bacteria uses to hide and protect itself. I'll take this about 20 min before the "killing" tinctures.
Samento + Banderol: These are herbal antimicrobials that I'm using to kill Lyme. And just because they're herbal doesn't mean they're weak — I've only been increasing my dosage by 1 drop a day (each) with the flexibility to scale back if I start to herx.
Rifaximin with Biogest, HCl, and LDN: What's a doctors appointment if I don't come away with a new diagnosis added to the list? I wasn't surprised to learn that I have SIBO but I am so happy that I'll be able to treat it right away! After a couple of weeks of treatment, I'll work on healing my gut with GI Revive and a low FODMAP diet (yeah you read that right, another diet…).
Typically, bacteria are not supposed to hang out in the small intestine (they should be in the large intestine!) and when they get lost, it creates havoc with your ability to absorb nutrients properly, can lead to leaky gut, and causes discomfort and bloating.
Plaquenil: I'm really fortunate to have been taking this prescription to manage my Lupus activity because it also acts as a cyst-buster for Lyme! Two birds, one stone.
Azithromycin, Ceftin, and Nystatin: After 2 weeks of SIBO treatment and a break week, I'll be getting started on antibiotics to treat the borrelia.
CBD oil: Breaks through biofilm and kills spirochetes!
It's a lot, I know. And after doing all of these things for a while, I likely still won't be healed, but I hope to be feeling a heck of a lot better! And there's still time in the future for heavy metals testing and ozone therapy (Major Autohemotherapy - MAH). In the meantime, I will continue to fight as hard as I possibly can to do everything in my power to restore my body. Every day feels like such a fight, and it brings me down often. But in my weakness, God can be strong.
A friend texted me an encouraging verse the other day and it brought tears to my eyes because even in this storm, this horrible season of seemingly endless suffering, I still feel God's presence. I know God is right here with us, he loves us, and he wants to heal us. I have seen Jesus heal people in the Bible and I know we will one day be healed too (even if we have to wait for heaven to be restored). I have a supernatural sense of peace in his plan for our lives and his perfect timing. I am so thankful for that. Praise God for his mercy in our lives.
It takes a lot of grit to live life with joy in the face of chronic illness. Let's do life together!
I only have good news to share.


Proper ventilation of the production plants provides a healthy environment for its personnel. There must be rest rooms for the personnel while hand-washing stations should be adequate and accessible.
Lunches and snacks shall not be eaten in processing, packing or supply rooms. If personnel are to eat lunches at the plant, a room separate from other rooms, including locker rooms, should be provided for this purpose. It should be confined to a specific area of the plant.
This room should be kept clean and sanitary, and also free of insect. The latter are particularly a problem in beverage evening machines, where spills an excess syrup may attract cockroaches, ants, and flies.
Infestations within vending machines are not unusual and the contract vendor should be made aware of his responsibilities with regard to the sanitation of his machines. Drinking fountains also should never be located in toilet rooms.

Tags: reunion
A Shayna Maidel
Rose and her father Mordechai, who came to the United States prior to the Holocaust, welcome Lusia, Rose's sister, who stayed behind in Europe with her mother due to illness, married, and survived concentration camp internment. Lusia's flashbacks reveal her past and the play focuses on the eventual family reunion.
A play for intermediate school students, Brothers is about family dislocation and reunion due to the Holocaust. Following the Nazis takeover of Poland and intensifying attacks on Jews, a Jewish family is only able to send one of their children to safety in Palestine. The drama focuses on the child's hardships alone in this new land and his eventual reunion with his surviving younger brother.
For This Moment Alone
Set in Toronto in 1948, a Jewish family, struggling to recover from the horrors of the war in Europe, finally has cause to rejoice. Ruth is about to be reunited with the only surviving member of her immediate family. But when she goes to Union Station to meet him, the brother she was expecting turns out to be a stranger: an impostor holding her brother's papers. Suddenly she and the family with whom she lives are forced into an impossible situation: if they abandon this displaced person they risk the possibility of his being deported.
Pearlman, Provider, Purveyor of Light
In the late 1960s, a planned beach house gathering of Jewish family members, lovers and friends brings together all their "baggage" resulting in high jinks and disturbing revelations.
