You are thinking..hmmm is there any truth to this toxin nonsense? Doctors have told me that my body detoxifies itself just fine.... but new studies are proving that modern chemicals are changing the way our bodies deal with toxins, showing they cause disease and make us gain weight that cannot be shed with diet and exercise alone!
I know this has been a huge issue for me, finding out why traditional diet and exercise weren't working for me took me YEARS of researching, finding medical doctors who were on the fringe and trying to look at things a new way because traditional medicine wasn't providing solutions or answers for those of us who were suffering. Even now, many people are denying the fact that we have a huge problem that can't be fixed with the CALORIES IN- CALORIES OUT model that is failing over 90% of people who are trying so desperately to lose weight and feel better. A 90% failure rate is not a successful solution! And the exercise more- eat less prescription will actually make this problem WORSE!
If you are 30 pounds or more over weight, you have some degree of leptin resistance, this is what Dr. Jack Krause says, a leading researcher in the field of leptin signaling. Read on to find out what this means and I want to point out that leptin itself is a new discovery to us, this is a topic on which new discoveries are being made all the time.
Modern toxins in our food supply cause weight gain, even if you are eating the same amount of calories you did 20 years ago or less, toxins cause havoc in your body now. The average person in the US comes in contact with over 123 toxins daily, and they are more aggressive and pervasive than they used to be! I want to make it clear, there isn't just one way they do damage, there are many!
Synthetic toxins build up in our bodies over time if they are not excreted and are stored in our body fat, they are fat soluble and our bodies create a nice storehouse for them causing cellulite and excess water weight to appear on our bodies. They sap our energy and make us age faster, we feel and look older than we actually are because our bodies are working much harder than they should be. Once we've accumulated fat, fat begins to secrete its own hormones which ensures we stay FAT no matter how much we exercise or under eat.
Because of their love of fat cells and our body storing them there for our protection, toxins attach themselves to the outer cell membrane of our fat cells, which cause them to continually release Leptin. This causes our Leptin levels to be continually elevated, when that happens our Leptin receptors burn out (similar to what happens with insulin and diabetes- and leptin plays a role in that as well). Leptin is the hormone that tells the brain to burn fat for use by our bodies, when the receptors are burnt out, there's no one there to answer the call, we stop burning fat. When you have weight gain that does not respond to dieting and exercise it's due to leptin resistance and toxins most of the time! Of course there are other conditions that can cause this problem also, so it is good to check with your doctor.
1. Reduce your exposure to toxins immediately, especially in your household and personal products, reduce processed foods and see if you can filter the air in your home with plants or a air filtration machine.
2. Drink teas and water. The polyphenols found in tea (and other plants) support the liver in its detoxification efforts, which is crucial to overall health and energy levels. Especially if you regularly drink alcohol, which can hinder the liver's normal day to day detox activity.
One of the main polyphenols in Tea is the flavonoid EGCG, a potent anti-oxidant, which helps repair done from free radicals that can attack your body during strenuous exercise, digesting foods or other stressful activities. It also contains L-Theanine which helps your body produce a super important detoxification compound called glutathione, which becomes depleted by things like taking pain relievers, drinking alcohol or dealing with toxins.
3. Reduce your non-fibrous carbohydrates to under 50 grams per day, or less if possible, increase your fiber intake by increasing fruits and vegetables. They contain many compounds which will help your body rid itself of toxins as it sheds fat. This is the part that people don't like, you are going to have to give up sugar and starches for awhile, because they are being stored as fat. You know this because you gain weight almost instantly when you eat them.
Eat adequate protein to help the liver process toxins, make sure you eat the highest quality protein you can afford, Organic meats and wild caught seafood are best.
4. Sweat- do moderate cardio, such as fast walking or sit in a sauna until you are sweating. Dry brushing and salt baths are also a good way to get toxins out through the skin. Strenuous exercise is best left after your hormonal balance is restored.
5. Eat probiotic foods and take probiotic supplements, they will help correct the imbalance in your gut flora and assist the body in making the right hormones.
6. Get out into the sun light everyday, preferably barefoot, connect with nature and relax, your nervous system will benefit.
Here's to your health & happiness!
Maybe you call yourself a control freak, or don't even really think about why you do this.
1. Most of us try to create our outer world by doing things, we exercise to lose weight, we try to connect with our friends and family to feel less lonely, we save money to get out of debt. We especially do things for other people to be the catalyst for helping them create a better world.
We do too many things for our families, our jobs and our homes, we deplete ourselves by giving every last ounce of energy, time and motivation we have in an attempt to create the life we dream of and we end up resenting all of it.
We give our best attitude, encouragement and years to those who we want to be needed by, we dream of being valued, but this rarely gives us the connection or life we desire. We dream of valuing ourselves.
I know this is how I have felt many times in the past, I have expected that all that I gave would be given back to me and that I would feel a sense of fulfillment from it- but that never came. I gave up my time to exercise, sleep enough and prepare myself healthy food because I felt that I wasn't as important as having everything I thought was in my dream life. I wanted to make it easier for others, as if I had to overcompensate to ensure they cared about me, and they needed me. That's a big key, ensuring people need you because you've made them dependent on you and all you do for them.
This is not easy to talk about, I want you to know, that if you are brave enough to look inside yourself, where these secrets are kept, and take them out into the light, it will begin to free you to really start defining the kind of dream life you actually want to wake up and live every day. I know, its very scary, but I have total faith in you, I'm here to tell you that your very existence is enough, you are worthy of being cared for just for being you.
Our dream lives start on the inside, they start with our thoughts, they start by taking care of ourselves. Our outer reality is created by our beliefs, the thoughts we keep thinking. When our thoughts change, our reality changes accordingly. When we think better, especially about ourselves, our lives get better.
2. We may have desperately wanted things to change, we may have wanted this change for years, but our thoughts about ourselves have stayed the same. The state of wanting only creates more wanting.... it keeps you trapped in perpetual wanting.
Wanting/Desiring is only useful to move us into a state of doing, but if we do not believe we are capable or deserving of having the thing we want, we will never actually start doing.
We must move from wanting to being. When this happens, things actually change. When we move from wanting to get in shape to being a fit person in our minds, we DO things differently. When we move from wanting to lose weight to being slim, we ARE different. The outside reality hasn't yet caught up but its just a matter of time.
Think about the process you go through when you become hungry, you want something to eat, you feel the discomfort, then you decide to do something about it, you eat and you are full. You move from wanting to being, if you continued to want but didn't decide to act and then actually take the action, you would never actually be any different in terms of your state.
The key to changing this in your head is to correctly use the term "I am" to your benefit.
3. The way you use the term "I am" is like your message to the Universe. Be very careful how you describe yourself, especially in your head.
People love to label others, like "You are lazy". They say things like this very easily and we believe them most of the time, especially people in authority, such as your parents, boss or spouse.
First of all, most people have not clearly defined who they are, they just agree with what they have been told their whole lives by teachers, parents, friends, etc. We got labelled SHY, NOT CREATIVE, CHUBBY, ANNOYING or any other word that was said to us... and it stuck.
We add things like TALL, ATHLETIC, HONEST or FLAKY to our description and we assume that is WHO we are. Of course, these labels are who we have chosen to be, we are all things at all times, we can become whom ever we want.
The Universe is listening to you talk about who you are when you say the words "I am." I want you to start saying the words of who you want to be, you are going to have to repeat them often and you are going to have to have some faith.
Don't keep changing your mind, don't keep doubting who you want to be. Other people are already these things, observe them, read about them, find out information if it helps, but its not necessary. Just reinforce this desire many times a day.
Make it your password, find places to write it, put it everywhere you can. Move yourself from wanting to be healthy to "I am healthy." Yes, at first, you will have resistance, but it will fade if you continue. If you decide that health is your reality, it must be.
I hope this has helped you, look for more daily updates designed to help you be healthy, beautiful and fit.
PS I would love to see you take on the October Tea Challenge, starting October 10th! Our Newport Skinny Tea and NST + MBB 21 day are both on sale!
My Secret Tool No One Uses!!
First of all, congratulations for being here!!
You are taking the time and energy to do something almost no one does, to educate yourself and take steps to reach your goals.
You're in the right place at the right time, are you ready to learn a big, but simple, secret?
Now, don't dismiss it when you hear it, because I bet you've never really tried to use it, 98 out of 100 people HAVE NOT!
The truth is only 2% of people have written goals!
So, want to join the elite achievers and change everything in the next 2 minutes, and also nearly doubles your chance of weight loss success?
I thought so, let's go, close your eyes and envision your ideal health, energy and body. Whatever your end goal is, see the picture in your mind and feel what it feels like to already have it be true.
Now try your best to put that feeling into words, its good to describe it in a number, but our brain has a really hard time with what numbers mean since we don't feel them.
Feelings and pictures are best, that's the language our brain speaks, so if you have a picture to look at, that may help... but form a picture in your mind and feel the feeling of achieving at the same time.
So here's the BIG step: Write It Down! Exactly what you want, and when you want it.
I find the best thing to do is to write my goal on a note on my phone and put it on my lock screen. But where ever you decide it is safe to put it, you must look at it and feel it three times per day.
Absolute best times are when you wake up, when you go to sleep and before you decide to eat.
Make a commitment now, to yourself and to me, that you will do this for the next 21 days.
You do NOT need to make a plan, you do not need to write down 25 steps to achieving your goal or anything else that takes a lot of time or energy.
3 times a day 1-2 minutes at a time, "live" in your dream and feel yourself already achieving it. That is all for now.
This challenge will be small, easy steps and hopefully won't overwhelm you, trust the process and do the work. You won't change overnight, but if you follow the steps and keep going you will see progress!
I KNOW you can do whatever you set your mind to, the first step is deciding what you want and writing it down, then showing your mind this goal a couple times a day in a language it can understand!
Step into the 2% and decide to change your life!
If you already have your tea, then use it as directed, do your best to eat clean and keep checking in to the daily emails!
You have one more day to order the 21 day NST or Mermaid system to use in the challenge!

People have been telling me for over a year now that Alaturka is the place to go for a kebab in Stuttgart. Maybe it's because I have trouble justifying going out to dinner for a kebab (I think of it as I'm-too-lazy-to-cook-food or I'm-hungover-food) or maybe it's because we've been so satisfied with our local kebab shop, but whatever the reason, I hadn't made it to Alaturka until last weekend when my husband suggested it.
And so, after a lazy, relaxing Saturday catching up on TV shows and reading, we finally bundled ourselves up against the cold and walked down the hill towards Olgastraße. We hadn't walked far before my husband said we'd arrived and opened up a low door into a rustic, almost cave-like interior. The stone walls were lined with wooden shelves piled high with Turkish trinkets and various bottles of spices and wine. It would have been dark except for the large center island finished with bright blue tiles.
We arrived around 6:40 pm -- early by our standards but apparently late by theirs -- and were met by a winding line into the middle of the "dining area". On top of that, the meat spit was getting smaller and smaller with each customer, and the woman behind the counter was doing a head count to see if there would be enough meat left for everyone in line. It looked like we'd be eating vegetarian kebabs, but they had just enough left by the time we made it to the counter for a mixed veggie and meat kebab. Honestly, I would have been just as happy having a veggie kebab, though I was glad to try the meat. And I have to say, it was probably the best fresh kebab that I've ever eaten.
My mixed veggie and meat kebab was piled high with roasted vegetables, including soft eggplant, sweet carrots, crisp green beans, salty potatoes, and herbed zucchini, then topped with a light yogurt sauce and arugula salad. The meat, which is made fresh daily, seemed more like beef or lamb sliced off the bone than döner meat that's been pressed together onto a spit. It was beefy, tender, and not overly salty or fatty like some other kebabs I've tasted. Perhaps the best part was the fresh-baked bread that was both crispy and toasted on the outside and spongy soft on the inside -- just as it should be.
I chose the normal kebab, which was plenty for me. Matt went for the larger version, which was almost twice as much as mine! They also serve platters with rice and sigara boregi, a kind of cigar-shaped savory pastry of phyllo dough and feta cheese that's fried until golden. I've never had them before and wanted to try them, but they seemed to be extremely popular and thus gone by the time we ordered our food. In fact, the trend seems to be that when they are out of food -- whether it's the cheese pastries or the döner meat -- they are out. This means that just after we were served at 6:45 pm on a Saturday night, they were starting to close up shop, which, as I later discovered, is their normal closing time for Saturday night.
I still like our kebab shop, Nur, for their greasy, salty, hangover-worthy kebabs and bread. Our kebab shop also makes several other delicious foods, like pide. That said, I'll certainly admit that Alaturka makes the best kebab in Stuttgart in terms of freshness and sustainable eating. I did not feel guilty after my meal there (so much so that I had no qualms about eating a piece of truffle cake at Hüftengold on the way home).
Alaturka is located at Olgastraße 109. They open at 11:00 am daily and close early around 7:00-8:00 pm each night, so go early if you want to be sure to try their döner meat kebab. Note that they are closed on Sundays.


Bob Carty reports from Managua on the alarming depletion of Nicaragua's forests. Unemployed Nicaraguans are chopping trees for farmland and firewood, and cattle ranchers are clearing large areas for grazing. Some scientists say that these activities are unsustainable and will ultimately result in even greater poverty.

トップ > Global > LINE, King and Supercell are hot in Taiwan, an easier and effective entry point into Asia
LINE, King and Supercell are hot in Taiwan, an easier and effective entry point into Asia
Taiwan has a population of 23 million people, but despite being nearly one fifteenth the size of the US population, it ranks #5 on Google Play for worldwide sales. According to a Yahoo study, Taiwanese people rank #1 in the world for average daily smartphone use with nearly 200 minutes (average of 32 nations was 142 minutes). These factors make Taiwan an attractive market that should be on the radar of developers worldwide.
We conducted an analysis of the Taiwan Google Play Top Grossing, Top Free and Top New Free charts for the month of September.
Want to target Japan? Target Taiwan first.
Japan is in many ways the holy grail of app marketing, as Japanese users are accustomed to paying for mobile content and have extremely high ARPU in comparison to the rest of the world. However, due to an increase in competition and heavy ad spending by local app developers and publishers, the barrier to entry for the Japanese market is extremely high for most Western developers. Without burst advertising in Japan it is extremely difficult to chart high enough to attain any significant level of organic users, and a minimum spend to do this will easily run into six digits USD.
Taiwan offers an opportunity to test the regional market before going all in on Japan.
A look at the Taiwan Google Play Top Grossing charts from September reveals the strong similarity between Taiwan and Japan, as RPGs are the top selling category in both markets and they also share 9 of the top 10 selling Google Play categories.
Other categories that are particularly strong in both markets are Action (Taiwan #3/Japan #5) and Casual (Taiwan #4/Japan #2).
Categories with a large disparity in popularity would be Strategy (Taiwan #2/Japan #9) and Entertainment (Taiwan #25/Japan #10).
Western and Chinese developers succeeding in Taiwan
We analyzed which apps had the sharpest "ranking incline rate" (rate of increase in rank over the course of the month) in the Taiwan Google Play Top Grossing charts for September, revealing that popular communication app LINE had a total of 7 titles in the top 40. LINE first emerged on the scene in Japan where it now boasts over 54 million users, but their popularity has spread overseas including Taiwan, where they now have over 17 million users (LINE statistics as of Sept 2014).
While the Top Grossing chart is predominantly occupied by mainland Chinese and Taiwanese developers, there are a number of Western developers that
「Candy Crush Saga」(KING)
First charted in Taiwan in November 2012, has topped the Google Play Top Free charts in Taiwan before. In September, charted as high as #6 on the Google Play Top Grossing chart.
「Clash Of Clans」(Supercell)
First charted on the Taiwan Google Play charts in October 2013, has charted as high as #3 on Top Grossing. In September, went as high as #6 and has remained in the Top 10 for the entire month of October.
DotA Legends (刀塔傳奇) (LemonGameTW)
Released in mid-August by the Taiwanese branch of mainland Chinese developer LemonGame, this strategy game spent a total of 11 days atop the Taiwan Google Play Top Grossing charts and another 2 days on top of the Top Free charts in Taiwan. Definitely an app to watch in the future.
「城堡爭霸 - Castle Clash 繁體中文版 」(IGG)
IGG is one of many mainland Chinese developers that have taken an aggressive approach to promoting in Taiwan, particularly because there is no Google Play in China so they must look cross-border in order to establish a userbase. Their Castle Clash title first debuted in August 2013, and climbed as high as #19 on the Taiwan Google Play Top Grossing charts in September.
RPG is the top genre in Taiwan
Role Playing is the category that has the strongest presence on the Taiwan Top Grossing charts. For the Top Grossing charts, a total of 86.5% of the apps charting come from one of the top 10 most frequently appearing categories. Of the total 44 Google Play app categories, the remaining 34 make up just 13.5% of all apps charting on Top Grossing in Taiwan, indicating that apps monetizing well come from only a select few categories.
On the Google Play Top Free chart, the Tools category came out on top with a category frequency rate (percentage of a chart that is made up by apps of a given category over a specified period of time) of 8.8%. By comparing these results to the Top Grossing charts results, we can see a couple of trends.
The Card category ranks high on Top Grossing at #6, and ranks low on Top Free at #21, indicating that there are a smaller number of total users but they have a considerably higher than average ARPU.
The Tools category ranks at the top of Top Free at #1, and ranks low on Top Grossing at #21, indicating that there are a larger number of users but they have a considerably lower than average ARPU.
On the Google Play Top New Free chart, the Casual category came out on top with a category frequency rate of 12.9%. Once again we compared these results to the Top Grossing charts results.
The Casino category ranks high on Top Grossing at #5, and ranks low on Top New Free at #14, indicating that fewer developers are targeting casino game users like they used to.
The Personalization category ranks at the top of Top Free at #6, and ranks low on Top Grossing at #32, indicating that there are a lot of new apps being released but they are operating with much lower than average ARPU users.
Taiwan will draw more attention as the Taipei Game Show (Jan. 28-Feb. 1, 2015) approaches, one of the largest game shows in the world. Taiwan represents an opportunity for Western developers to enter into Asia with a lower budget to test the waters before making end roads into larger regional markets like Japan and Korea.

Monsoons are incomplete for Mumbaikars, (popular name tag to people residing in Mumbai), without a getaway to Lonavala. Approx. 110 km from the western suburbs of Mumbai, it's somewhat of a tradition to visit this buzzing weekend hotspot. Over the weekend, we decided to explore the green surroundings of the popular hill station that is a must-go-to for all Mumbaikar. This time we decided to take a slight detour towards Pavana lake which is equally popular and more picturesque in its settings.
Considering this is a tried and tested route for almost all residents of Mumbai, directions are no big deal. For the tourists eager to explore the place, it's a very easy ride, just follow the trail of cars on the road early Saturday morning, pick one of the SUV swelling with merrymaking family or youths or in today's time, you can just set your GPS to assist and you will find yourself hitting the Mumbai-Pune Highway in no time. The only smart advice is to pick a time as early as possible for your departure, else traffic blocks can hold you back within the city for a long time.
With the back of the trunk swelling with every possible must-haves a mommy can think of, we started the drive with a shout of excitement from my 9-year-old Jeehan, and a prayer to our favorite elephant God – Lord Ganesh. The superbly cool and refreshing early morning breeze set the mood for the journey ahead, a short drive ahead, we were met up by a few friends – Neeraj, Sapna, and their 7-year-old Aarush were joining in with some more of their friends for the trip. Since both the little ones share a common school, they seemed to have a lot of talk about and share, from music to Beyblade spinners and more…the relentless chatter kept the noise quotient – high.
Journey onwards, we exit at the Khandala bypass, heading towards Pavana dam lake road. The stretch towards Pavana lake is simply beautiful, the lush green appeals to all your senses, setting the mood further. We took a few halts to enjoy the breath of fresh air and enjoy the landscape, Jeehan and Aarush seemed equally enraptured by their surroundings.
Driving down the scenic and winding road to Pavana, Jeehan who was looking out the window, yelled with surprise and delight, "Mommy, Dinosaur Park!" he pointed to a sign. As we looked out the window, indeed there it was, right off the movie set and nothing short of spectacular as before us stood a majestic gate with the sign" Dinosaur Park".
We watched with amazement and with some disbelief, alas since we were lagging behind the other cars, we couldn't even stop to make inquiries. Nevertheless, I immediately got onto the internet to browse more about this park, we had just passed by. Within a few minutes, I was on a call talking to Radhika, someone who deserves a mention for her very efficient and courteous response to my umpteen queries about the park. She even mentioned a good group package discount as we were over 10 people. Apparently, the pricing is the same for kids and adults alike (kids who are 3 years and less are given free entry). So with a promise to drop by on our way back, we continued on our journey.
As usual, Pavana lakeside delights, with picnickers from the neighboring locations, it attracts attention to its picturesque location. It has the mountains at a distance, with the clouds enveloping it, the lake which flows from under the mountains, the cliffs and a pristine beach add to the rustic beauty of the place. The view lingers even when you away and calms your mind instantly.
The boys just couldn't curb their enthusiasm at seeing the clear water in the lake and slowly edged towards the banks. I let go of my anxiety, it is a relatively safe water body for kids to splash around. Slowly, gradually, the drizzle had turned into hurling showers and we had to run for cover towards the restaurant shed nearby. By now the entire group had gathered, so we decided to indulge in some hot pakodas and chai which seems a staple request at this restaurant. Once again, post our snacks, we left to explore the lakeside camp.
Time sure flies, especially when you having fun and today was no exception with the group of some old and some new friends, the ambiance and of course the never-ending stream of conversation, we were having a blast! By now, the kids had started to pester us to get back to the Dinosaur Park and knowing there was no escape we decided to head back.
On arrival at the huge gate once again, we headed straight to the customer service counter where we were met by Neena since Radhika was away. Neena guided us towards the entrance to the park. Generally, they have a guided tour of the place, but since, we have running behind schedule, I decided to give it a skip and explore the park on my own, which wasn't too daunting as the park has some strategically placed signages giving information about the sights we see. Besides, the park map and leaflets give us ample information on what lies ahead. I was told it takes approx. 2 to 3 hours if you at leisure to cover the entire park area, however, with an Electric Vehicle called Dino Carts, you can zip around the attractions if you are short on time. With the boys running helter-skelter in wonderment to see their favorite dinosaurs come alive, it was a task to keep up with them, Jeehan seemed quite confident and knowledgeable about the species on display and had something interesting add-ons about the dinosaurs' characteristics.
I have to remark that the park settings, topped with the almost eerie weather, enhanced the experience double folds, making us feel as if we were on location of Jurassic Park itself and that by any measures is no ordinary feat!
The Dinosaur Park is spread across 9.5 acres of land, it has 36 different species of the TALLEST, LARGEST, WEIRDEST, and LONGEST life-size animatronics dinosaurs set amidst undulating walk-ways, innovative edutainment activities for the young and old alike.
The place was sprawling with some interesting robotic dinosaurs strategically placed making it look life-like. To add to the drama there is a good sound effect added to the displays. My favorite was the larger than life herbivorous dinosaur eating the tree leaves, called the Ankylosaurus. The ferocious Spinosaurus trapped and enclosed in a chained harness and perched atop an armored truck still intimidates anyone.
The park boasts of a 12 seater 9D Action Cinema. Plans are afoot to build a 24 seater 4D cinema too to screen regular dinosaurs movies.
As our visit came to an end, we bid adieu with a promise to return for an exclusive and more extensive dekho of the park. We conclude with a big thumbs up to the park for all the efforts put in by Mr. Madan Patil the owner and management of this amazing theme park for coming up with such a nouveau concept for the tourists to experience. I recommend the park as a must visit for families and youths alike. The Dinosaur Park has everything to thrill Dinosaur lovers and the thrill seekers.
Good story…suggestion -This write up also available on other languages like Marathi, gujarati and Hindi. So other readers also bang with their Small 'dinosaur' in the park.


WASHINGTON – The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has been providing critical life-saving and life-sustaining commodities to Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, in response to Hurricane Maria, as part of a broad federal response to assist the islands.
To date, more than 11.5 million meals, 8 million liters of water, and 30,000 tarps have been transported and delivered to the islands as part of the federal response to Hurricane Maria.
Through a coordinated and phased delivery process, FEMA is continuing to supply meals, water and tarps to Puerto Rico for local leadership to disperse to the survivors. The commodities are transported by the National Guard and FEMA contractors from the ports and delivered to federal incident support bases (ISB) and staging areas, located throughout Puerto Rico. From the ISB, commodities are delivered to regional staging areas serving all 78 municipalities in Puerto Rico, and using points of distribution in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The government of Puerto Rico is working with Mayors to arrange pickup of supplies from the staging areas whereupon they distribute the commodities to the public.
In addition to these commodities, many voluntary agencies are operating shelters and providing meals and cleaning supplies to disaster survivors. National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster members including voluntary, non-profit, and faith-based organizations also are working closely with the affected communities to assist. The American Red Cross is working with volunteer organizations and federal partners to ensure that fixed feeding kitchens are opened in numerous locations throughout the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
While the catastrophic impact from Hurricanes Irma and Maria led to serious logistical challenges, we're working closely with our federal partners and Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands officials to continue to sustain lives and restore routine. Through focused efforts, and this whole community unified response from federal, local, and territory governments, along with local officials and volunteer agencies, progress is underway for the residents of the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

Last year I was lucky enough to be one of the judges at the inaugural Scotch Egg Challenge held at the mighty Ship pub in Wandsworth. 2012's Scotch Egg Challenge was held last night, and fighting off strong competition, the Bladebone Inn took the first prize, the Hind's Head came second, and the Drapers Arms (sister pub to last year's winner the Devonshire Arms), came third. Unfortunately, I had to miss this year's festivities, so this recipe is for me and anyone else out there who missed out and wants a piece of the eggy action themselves. The judges at last year's Scotch Egg Challenge - Eric Lanlard, Chris Pople, Mat Follas, me, and David Constable Note that this recipe will make two each of original Scotch Egg, Chorizo Scotch Egg and Black Pudding Scotch Egg. If you fancy just making the original flavour, just triple the quantity of sausage meat and leave out the other types of meat. Scotch Eggs Recipe Makes 6 eggs 6 eggs (Burford Browns h

Egg and Bacon Tarts So Sainsbury's contacts me. They say, "Next month is Organic September - a month long promotion of organic food by the Soil Association - and to celebrate this, we'd love to send you a box of our seasonal goods from our SO Organic range for you to come up with some recipes". I think, "Meh, I do like a cookery challenge. All right then". The allotted time and date arrives. There's a knock at the door, and a cheerful driver says, "Here's the delivery for Miss Bunty Fairweather*". I think, "Eh?" and say, "Um, I am expecting a delivery, but my name's MiMi, not Bunty". He looks perplexed and shrugs. I say, "Are they all organic products?" and he says, "Yes", and hands the goods over since the address is right and he doesn't really give a monkey's what my name is. I put the bag on the kitchen table and empty its contents excitedly. So. There's milk,


MANILA, June 13 (Xinhua) -- The government-run People's Television Network (PTV) in the Philippines on Wednesday launched the "China Theater" that will broadcast four Chinese TV series and movies aimed at deepening the cultural understanding between Filipinos and Chinese.
The programs slated to be aired soon include the 58-episode TV series "Feathers Fly to the Sky," the movie special "Beijing Love," the animated "The Sammy and Jimmie Animation" and a documentary "Marco Polo." The four programs are sponsored by the China Media Group and dubbed in the Filipino language called Tagalog.
Martin Andanar, Secretary of the Presidential Communications Operations Office of the Philippines, took note of Marco Polo, the famous traveler on the Silk Route which connected Asia, Europe and other continents 2,000 years ago.
"But more than the mercantile importance of the old Silk Route, there evolved an unprecedented interchange of ideas, technologies, and faiths. It was the beginning of the world's first information superhighway, with the flow of thought and knowledge," he said at the launching ceremony.
Speaking at the ceremony, Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Zhao Jianhua said the two countries are now deepening cooperation in three main areas, namely political and security, economic and trade, and people-to-people exchanges, which he termed as the "three pillars" of China-Philippines relations.
"The inauguration today of 'the China Theatre' will surely add fresh impetus to the further building on the 'Third Pillar'. Through the Chinese TV series and movies to be shown on PTV, you could share the stories about how our reform and opening up in the past 40 years have helped realize a steady economic growth of China and better off the well-beings of its people."
Officials from both countries have expressed the hope that showing these TV series and movies dubbed in Tagalog will further help deepen the socio-cultural ties between the two neighbouring countries.

The development of an appraisal instrument and subsequent evaluation of middle school science curricula
Julie Wasmund
Thompson, Thomas E.
B.S.Ed. (Bachelor of Science in Education)
Department of Literacy and Elementary Education
Within the last few years, standards of education have become an influence on the construction and assessment of school curricula In order to evaluate middle school science programs. a rubric was developed based on the National Science Education Standards and the Illinois Learning Standards for Science. Middle school science curricula were acquired from three different districts: Community Unit District U-46, Naperville School District 203. and DeKalb Community Unit District #428. Each curriculum was perused and evaluated using the rubric. Because a rubric is subjective in its nature, additional comments were made in regards to each district's curriculum. There was variance in what each district included in the science programs. When a district lacked in a given topic. it usually covered another topic in much more depth than the rubric was evaluating.

Nevertheless, many live chat extensions for internet stores offer you a much too intimidating interface with tools which are overkill for this type of basic support moderate.
Pure Chat is a live chat program that helps small businesses provide instant answers and convert more leads.
You are not likely to locate anything crazy with this tool, but that is the glory of it. The pricing is straightforward. The features are easy, and the overall interface makes it quite easy to communicate with clients who need answers quickly.
So let us take a deeper look to the live chat system to understand who it is best for and which of the features are impressive.
Pure Chat is a live chat program which lets users communicate with their clients directly on their site. Its features include unlimited agents, boundless chats, complete chat background, widget personalization, and much more. We compiled Pure Chat user reviews from around the web and determined that it's generally favorable evaluations. We also shared its available pricing options.
Users who gave Pure Chat a favorable review stated that the program is simple to set up and navigate due to its user-friendly interface. They also enjoy the way the tab switches into an email form when all the operators are all offline.
Users who gave Pure Chat a negative review said that the program can be slow at times, causing delays in customer communications. They also complained about frequent disconnections, particularly on mobile.
An individual who left a positive review of Pure Chat on G2 Crowd said that they have been able to convince customers to commit to a buy within minutes of communication through the app. He also likes the way the tool provides them with a way to answer customers' questions quickly and market their products without the usage of mobile calls.
A user who left a negative overview of Pure Chat on Capterra complained about getting timed out without notifications. He explained that this makes it hard to maintain agents who've retail duties on discussion during high traffic hours causing them to lose potential business. He also suggested adding an on-screen prompt that reminds them whenever they've been logged off.
Notifications are sent to you when a conversation comes from, and you'll be able to schedule when you are offered for chatting so that clients know when you're online.
Implementing a conversation box on your site only takes a quick copy and paste of a code or using their Shopify, Weebly and WordPress plugins. You then have the ability to personalize what the chat box looks like before, during and after the conversation. Don't hesitate to modify about colours, set causes for when the chat box pops open and then configure the forms that you need people to fill out before speaking to you.
You've got the opportunity to go with the default stylings (which can be fine,) however, the layout tools are simple enough for beginners and powerful enough for more advanced users.
The two iOS and Android apps are offered for those who would love to manage live chats while on the move. For example, if you have to leave the office but still want to provide the best support on the market, you won't need to fret about it with a mobile app.
Pretty much all the features you would find on the normal dashboard are all taken over to the cellular apps. You have settings for actually executing the chats, along with setting your availability, managing transcripts and much more. This gives you a little boost of confidence since it doesn't matter where you are when viewing who's on your website in real time. Your customer support is continually handled, since it functions just like texting from your phone.
The reporting is just one of the strongest parts of Pure Chat, because it not only gives you the performance for exporting accounts, but it supplies amazing graphs and imagery for seeing chat metrics over time. You can monitor your customer satisfaction to make decisions regarding your employees or to figure out which unruly customers you may be spending too much time .
The Pure Chat service outlets are far more impressive than a number of the other options you'll discover for live chat. For instance, a blog is supplied for reading about updates and tips, while the Guides page is full of advice on the best way best to sell online, the way to manage rude customers, the way to obtain more live chats and more.
The FAQ page gives you an idea of what other people are talking about using PureChat, while the principal Support page is a knowledge base with documentation for installations, integrations, chat boxes and much more. I didn't find any support modules for calling in or emailing, so it looks as if you are going to need to complete most of the research yourself.
Pure Chat does not have a free trial. However, you don't want one at all, since the provider offers a strong free plan that you can continue to work with for as long as you want. The paid programs are reasonably priced too, along with the monthly obligations bring along a wide set of features that you don't get with the free bundle.
Free — For $0 you receive support for one user, 1 site, boundless chats each month, per 1 day discussion history and native mobile apps.
Starter — For $20 per month you receive support for 2 consumers, two sites, unlimited chats per month, per 30 day chat history, native cellular apps, reports, visitor monitoring, SMS notifications and integrations.
Growing — For $100 a month you receive everything out of the previous plan and service for ten users, five sites, an infinite chat history and also the ability to eliminate the Chat branding.
We enjoy the Free program for individuals simply testing out the machine, but the genuine functionality comes into play when you choose the Starter Plan. The only criticism I have is that you have to get all the way up into the $100 a month plan to remove branding.

At one time it was sandwiched between the Byzantine and Roman Empires and then another it was between the Ottoman Empire and Western Christendom.

Q: Footer at the bottom of the page with jQuery I try to keep the footer at the bottom of the page even when the content of the page is not very high. When the user makes the page smaller and the foot meets the content, the scroll should appear and footer should hide below the content.
(I don't want the footer to be in fixed position, because when it meets the content, the footer would be at the top and hide the content)
There is a very good example of James Taylor suggested here by Philippe. I want the same effect but with jQuery. (I cannot apply this css solution because I need the content to be in absolute positioning) http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/bottom-footer-demo.htm
$(function(){
    var documentHeight = $(document).height();
    if(documentHeight >= 420){
        $('#foot').css({position: 'absolute',bottom:'10px'});
    }

    else{
        $('#foot').css({position: 'absolute',top:'410px'});
    }
})

A: What you want is
var topDistance = $('#foot').offset().top;

[edit]
if you want to keep your footer on the page, always at the bottom , you'll need to use
position: fixed;
bottom: 10px;

But if you want to keep footer at bottom of the window even if body is smaller than the window, but if body is greater, footer will be at bottom of the document
Here is the a solution : http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/keeping-footers-at-the-bottom-of-the-page

Why Do Cats Have Such Small Heads? (Drawbacks & Benefits)
By Clara Jean / Blog / Last Updated on: September 27, 2022
Cats are known for their small heads. So why is my cat's head so small? Is it because they're smarter than other animals? Or is it because they're more agile and can sprint faster? Whatever the reason, one thing is for sure: cats with small heads are the cutest!
Cats with small heads: what's the deal?
While most cats have a relatively normal-sized heads, some have noticeably smaller heads. This can be due to various factors, including genetics, health conditions, or even because they're still growing and haven't reached their full size yet.
If you're concerned about your cat's small head, it's always best to talk to your veterinarian. They will be able to help you determine if there is any cause for concern and can give you more information on what to expect as your cat continues to grow.
Why do cats have small heads?
The benefits of having a small head (for cats)
How do small heads help cats survive in the wild?
Why do domestic cats still have small heads?
How do small heads make cats more adorable?
The downside of having a small head (for cats)
What to do if your cat has a small head?
One reason is that cats have very fast metabolisms, and their bodies are designed for maximum efficiency.
A smaller head means a smaller area that needs to be warmed, so less energy is required to keep the cat's brain warm.
Additionally, a smaller head means a lighter skull, which makes it easier for the cat to move quickly and strike accurately when hunting.
A small head can be an advantage for cats in many ways. For one, it makes them more agile and able to fit into small spaces. It also gives them hearing and smell, which can help them hunt or avoid predators. Additionally, a small head means a lighter body, so cats can jump higher and run faster.
Smaller heads help cats become more agile, an important trait for predators. They also allow cats to control their prey better and to take down larger prey items. In addition, smaller cats typically have an easier time acquiring and eating food in the wild than larger cats. Therefore, having a small head can be a big advantage for cats in terms of survival.
While the size of a cat's head might seem unimportant, it tells us a lot about its evolutionary history. For example, domestic cats today still have relatively small heads compared to other members of the Felidae family, such as lions and tigers. This is because they are descendants of an ancient wild cat species called Felis silvestris.
One theory for why Felis silvestris had small heads is that it was an adaptation for hunting in trees. A smaller head would have allowed them to maneuver better in tight spaces and catch their prey more easily. Over time, this trait was passed down to their domestic descendants.
While small heads might have been an advantage for hunting, they can cause domestic cats today. Because of their narrow skulls, cats are more prone to dental problems and congenital disabilities. They also tend to suffer from more respiratory infections than other animals.
Despite these challenges, domestic cats have thrived for centuries and show no signs of disappearing anytime soon. So the next time you see your kitty napping in a sunbeam with its tiny head resting on its paws, take a moment to appreciate how far this species has come.
While the average house cat's head is about the size of a tennis ball, some cats have much smaller heads in proportion to their bodies. And yes, this can make them look unbearably adorable.
There are a few reasons why some cats end up with smaller heads.
One is genetic and can be found in certain breeds, like the Munchkin or the Dwelf.
Another reason is skull deformities that can occur while a kitten is still developing in the womb.
And lastly, dwarfism can also result in a smaller than average head size.
So while we may not know exactly why your cat has a small head, we can all agree that it just adds to their cuteness.
There are several reasons why cats with small heads exist.
Regardless, cats with small heads often have a range of health problems. These include difficulty eating and drinking, respiratory issues, and intellectual disabilities. Sometimes, these problems are so severe that the cat does not survive long.
If you have a cat with a small head, it is important to talk to your vet about the best way to care for your pet. There may be special considerations that need to be made to keep your cat healthy and comfortable.
If you notice that your cat's head is small, it is important to take them to the vet as soon as possible. This could signify a serious health condition, such as hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus is a buildup of fluid in the brain, which can cause the head to swell. If not treated, it can be fatal.
Why do cats pee on bathroom rugs?
Why do cats like their bottoms smack?
Why do cats close their eyes when they groom?
Why do cats eat mice's heads?
Cat head size is determined by genetics and environmental factors. Genetics determine 60% of a cat's head size, and environmental factors determine 40%.
Read this blog to understand your cat's head size better. We have discussed the genetics and environmental factors that determine your cat's head size.

Another Side of Milton Babbitt
Posted By Peter Burwasser on Mar 26th, 2016
Milton Babbitt was the personification of new, academic music during his long and storied career. But not necessarily in a good way; his work was regarded as alienating and self-consciously abstract by the musical hoi polloi. It did not help that an essay he wrote in 1958 was entitled (by his editor, not Babbitt himself) "Who Cares If You Listen," or that the Philadelphia Orchestra abandoned a premiere of his 1985 composition Transfigured Notes, after three attempts by three different conductors. And they commissioned it!
This reputation not only belies Babbitt's sunny, witty nature, but more importantly, the breadth of his musical tastes. Babbitt loved jazz and most especially, show music. He even wrote a Broadway musical. And he was the teacher of the finest musical composer of our time, Stephen Sondheim. This side of Babbitt is the focus of a centennial celebration of this multi-faceted artist (he died in 2011) being presented by Network for New Music, a long time champion of his work. The culminating event will be concerts in Philadelphia and Haverford on April 17th and 18th, respectively, including Babbitt-lite material, along with music by Sondheim and other former Babbitt students. There will also be a master class, and a screening of a video documentary about Babbitt's career entitled Portrait of a Serial Composer. Check out the details at networkfornewmusic.org
What is Babbitt-lite and why would I be interested in Babbitt-lite when I am a fan of Babbitt's music. And by whose definition is Babbitt-lite.

Currently underway is a research study to review social and emotional learning content in pre-service teacher education programs in the U.S. and Canada. This project is funded by CASEL and NoVo Foundation and is the first ever scan of its kind. Kimberly Schonert-Reichl and Shelley Hymel of the University of British Columbia are leading the project, which is titled "Social and Emotional Learning in Teacher-Education," or SEL-TEd.
The purpose of the study is to assess the degree to which SEL is incorporated into pre-service education programs in colleges of education and into teacher certification requirements at the state and province level. A second objective is to develop a series of recommendations that can be used to advance the inclusion of SEL into pre-service teacher education.
The project team is gathering data through surveys, expert interviews, and other forms of documentation, including textbooks and online course descriptions. Eventually the project will produce case studies and describe model programs and promising programs.
Do you have examples of SEL in a teacher preparation program? If so, the project team wants to hear from you. You may not use the term "social and emotional learning," but if your teacher preparation program incorporates content that prepares teachers to promote students' social and emotional skills, develops teachers' social and emotional competencies, or prepares teachers to create a safe and caring classroom and school climate, please contact the project team: Project Director Kimberly Schonert-Reichl or Project Coordinator Jenny Kitil.
You can learn more about the project at the SEL-TEd website.


Founded in October 1996 and incorporated in December 1996, the Steel City Boogie Club is a private, non-profit, social dance club dedicated to the preservation and promotion of fast dancing (Jitterbug, East Coast Swing, Bop, Carolina Shag, West Coast Swing, etc.) and Rhythm & Blues, Rock & Roll "oldies", Bop and Beach music.
The SCBC was founded for the purpose of uniting the greater Pittsburgh community of swing dancers while providing an inexpensive place to dance on a regular basis. Our goal is to become a "family of friends" who become bonded together by our love of fast dancing.

Q: Show/Hide persistence when editing form where radio button is used to show/hide forms element This code is working but there must be a better way to do this in the Jquery script.
Here's my radio button
<%= f.radio_button :losstype, "Cash", :id => 'lc' %>Cash
<%= f.radio_button :losstype, "Asset",:id => 'rb' %>Asset
<%= f.radio_button :losstype, "Supplies", :id => 'ab' %>Supplies

And heres my hidden bit right now.
<% if @assetloss.losstype == "Asset"   %>

<% else %>

<% end >
A drop down list to be shown

And the Jquery part
$j(document).ready(function(){
    $j("input[id='lc']").change(function() {
    $j("#asset_list").hide();
  } );
$j("input[id='rb']").change(function() {
  $j("#asset_list").show("slide");
} );
    $j("input[id='ab']").change(function() {
  $j("#asset_list").hide();
} );
} );

Rendered Markup on checked radio button
<input checked="checked" id="rb" name="asset_loss[loss_type]" type="radio" value="Asset"/>

While it works, I'm sure there's a better way to do this, so I would be asking for refactoring help I guess.
Many Thanks in advance
Ed1. I have realized this is a Jquery Question and need it to check that if "input[id='rb']" is checked (from db) then $j("#asset_list").show();  without needing a change listener

A: First I would give them all the same name to group them together.
$j("input[name='btnGroupName']").change(function() {
 if($('#rb').is(':checked')) {
    $j("#asset_list").show("slide");
  }else{
    $j("#asset_list").hide();
  }
});

A: Just to tidy up everything, and state some of the gotchas. heres the final code.
My Radio Button in view.
<%= f.radio_button :loss_type, "cash",    :id => 'button_cash',     :class => 'lt'%>Cash
<%= f.radio_button :loss_type, "asset",   :id => 'button_asset',    :class => 'lt'%>Asset
<%= f.radio_button :loss_type, "supplies",:id => 'button_supplies', :class => 'lt'%>Supplies

You CANNOT use :name  for this, the radio button group name is created using Rails magic and changing that means your data WILL NOT be saved to the db.
The name created is e.g name="asset_loss[loss_type]" which reflects the "model[:field]".  You could use this but Jquery will trip up on this because of the " " which does not encapsulate properly.
e.g
$j("input[name="asset_loss[loss_type]"]").change(function() {

meaning the blocks are "input[name=" and "]" and doesn't work.
so the final JQuery Code is
$j(document).ready(function(){
   $j("input[class='lt']").change(function() {
     if($j('#button_asset').is(':checked')) {
       $j("#asset_list").show();
     }else if ($j('#button_cash').is(':checked')){
       $j("#cash_type").show();
     }else if($j('#button_supplies').is(':checked')){
       // TODO : Partial for stationery
     }
});

And this will work fine.  However back to the main issue of persistence. This JQuery code only does when there is a change.  so when you come back to the page (or reload) it does not read from the db, check what the value is and show/hide fields appropriately.
for this I repeated ALL the JQuery code above but changed
$j("input[class='lt']").change(function() {

to
$j("input[class='lt']").each(function() {

now if anyone knows how to string these two together and make it DRY are welcome to comment.
Hope this helps anyone out there trying to do this.

Statins tied to improved survival in men receiving androgen-ablative therapies
Author: Shreeya Nanda
medwireNews: Men with advanced prostate cancer may derive a significant survival benefit from the concurrent use of statins alongside androgen-ablative therapies, suggest the Canadian authors of a systematic review and meta-analysis.
The risk for overall mortality was a significant 27% lower among men who did versus did not use statins after diagnosis, while the prostate cancer-specific mortality (PCSM) risk was reduced by a significant 35% with statin use, they report in JAMA Network Open.
The researchers point out that there was "significant interstudy heterogeneity" for both estimates, but they say: "It is worth noting, however, that although variability remained considerable, the differences were between small and large protective associations; in other words, these findings appear to accurately support a statin benefit, although they may be restricted by imprecision."
Moreover, "[t]hese findings were not driven by any single cohort, withstood robust sensitivity analyses, and were free of publication bias," writes the team.
The results come from a meta-analysis that included 19 publications reporting data from 25 retrospective cohorts comprising 119,878 individuals receiving either androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) or androgen receptor axis-targeted therapies (ARATs). Just over half (55%) were taking statins while undergoing androgen ablation.
The majority (n=16) of the cohorts included men with newly diagnosed hormone-sensitive disease; overall mortality was reported in 19 cohorts and PCSM in 14.
Subgroup analyses showed that statin use appeared to reduce the PCSM risk by a greater degree among men who received ARATs than those given ADT, with respective hazard ratios relative to nonuse of statins of 0.40 and 0.68.
However, there was no such difference by type of androgen-ablative therapy for overall mortality, say Robert Hamilton (University of Toronto, Ontario) and co-investigators.
Discussing the potential mechanisms for the observed association between statin use and reduced mortality risk, the team speculates that "[s]tatins may inhibit inflammation, angiogenesis, cell proliferation, migration, adhesion, invasion, and promotion of apoptosis by disruption of cellular communication mechanisms."
It is also possible that "a synergistic effect among statins, reduction of cholesterol levels, and androgen-ablative therapies may play a role," add Hamilton and colleagues.
And they continue: "Last, it is established that androgen-ablative therapies increase cardiometabolic risk by promoting visceral obesity, dyslipidemia, and dysglycemia. Statins may work to negate some of the adverse cardiometabolic effects of androgen-ablative therapies, contributing to a survival benefit."
In conclusion, the researchers say that "[t]hese results contribute to our understanding of the associations between prostate cancer, the androgen axis, and statins and provide high-quality evidence supporting a chemopreventive role for statins in prostate cancer."
But "the use of retrospective data and unexplained heterogeneity lower our confidence in directly incorporating these findings into clinical practice," and therefore, "randomized clinical trials are warranted to confirm these findings," they write.

Ah, sleep. It's the one thing everyone needs and can't seem to get enough of—especially if a lumpy old pillow is involved. While it may seem like a budget should go to bigger furnishings, like a solid headboard and a pair of practical nightstands, the truth is that a comfortable pillow is an indispensable part of sleep. Without one, you're sure to be staring at your surrounding furniture well past 3 a.m. when you'd rather be dreaming.
To give the sturdy some well-earned attention, we gathered the eight most luxurious pillows we could find on Amazon according to their stellar five-star reviews. Some are hypoallergenic, others are filled with gel, and all are ideal for a restful night's . We know that a few of these choices will be a splurge, but we did find a few two-pack options that should work with most budgets. Either way, these picks will last much longer than your current option and feel better, too.
So take it from the advice of enthusiastic Amazon reviewers, as well as from quite a lot of personal experience: When you have a luxurious pillow under your head, then sleep becomes easier, deeper, and much more .
Highlights: It's filled with gel-infused memory foam that stays cool as you sleep.
Highlights: This pick is ideal for side-sleepers, and it's made with shredded gel memory foam in a rayon cotton cover.
"I played football in high school and was in a few auto accidents, so it's tough for me to get a good night's sleep due to neck and back pain. Having the right mattress and pillow makes all the difference in the world to me. This pillow, along with a hybrid mattress, has helped me sleep more peacefully than I have in a long, long time. I literally have been through six different pillows in the past two years looking for The One, and I think that I have found it. This is the best pillow so far. It provides just the right support, and I think that the ability to adjust the fill level makes all the difference in the world.
Highlights: Made with gel fibers that are allergen- and chemical-free.
Highlights: Made of 100% hypoallergenic cotton and filled with adjustable stuffing.
Highlights: Conforms to individual contours and keeps its shape, while a micro-ventilated cover stays cool.
"I purchased two of these king-sized pillows, one for me and one for my husband. I like a softer pillow, while my husband prefers support. However, all of the down feather, poly-fill, and memory foam pillows we have tried have not done the trick. You may think that this is a lot of money for a pillow, but when you replace them as often as we do, it was worth it to try something different. And wow! What a difference these pillows have made. Although it is supportive, it is still 'squishy' enough to be a soft pillow for me.
Highlights: This is made with a "no-shift" construction that's stain-, mold-, mildew-, and mite-resistant.
"I wanted to add my five-star review to all of the others. These pillows are well deserving of it. I purchased these pillows along with a new mattress with gel technology. They do help me stay cooler. From what I have found, these pillows hold their shape better than any pillows I've ever had. They aren't too thick or too thin, and they're very supportive. I have no neck aches in the morning, which I am very prone to. The quality is outstanding. They are just as soft as feather pillows. Don't think, just buy!
Highlights: The blue piping and double stitching on these microfiber pillows make them extra durable.
Highlights: This hypoallergenic pillow is made of polyester and cotton and is adaptable to all sleeping positions.

Gland, Switzerland - A WWF analysis has shown that the standards used to assess biofuel sources fall well short of ensuring that Europe's push towards increased biofuel use is not contributing to environmental destruction and social exploitation.
A WWF analysis has shown that the standards used to assess biofuel sources fall well short of ensuring that Europe's push towards increased biofuel use is not contributing to environmental destruction and social exploitation.
The study, assessing the certification standards for biofuels accepted by the EU against a Certification Assessment Tool (CAT) developed by WWF, found many of the analysed standards performed on a middle or low level against WWF criteria for a credible sustainable environmental and social standard.
•	Many standards do not adequately address transparency in public reporting, internal system governance, and audit scope and intensity.
Many scheme also scored very low on key implementation measures such as transparency, auditor accreditation and the adequacy and strength of audit checks.
The 3 best-performing scheme out of the 13 looked into by the WWF analysis is the Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB) scheme, the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and the Round Table on Responsible Soy (RTRS). All are multi-stakeholder biofuels certification schemes which actively involve businesses, civil society and policy makers.
"The upcoming revision of the EU Renewable Energy Directive must now be used to close unacceptable gaps in the requirements," said Luebbeke. "Having talked the talk, the EU must now walk the walk and ensure that the production of the biofuels we use in Europe is sustainable and a fair claim for society.


Love me a new year.
And new creative outlets. Because in my opinion, if you are not moving forward, you are stagnant. And I love this paper art form so much, that I never want to be stagnant in my craft. Introducing myself to new mediums and formats and ideas, and then acting on them, helps me in actually, every area of my life. So with this in mind, I 'stumbled' upon Donna Downey's Collage Monday's. She posts a new collage every Monday, highlighting the elements she currently loves, and shares a bit of insight into how she was inspired to create her piece.
I started with book pages torn from an old book. Used paint and hand made stamps+letter stickers+ephemera+tags+staples...it was great fun.
This pieces was about map pattern paper. Tags. Pretty tape. Masking tape. Words. And stuff that was literally just sitting around begging to be added.
I hope today I conveyed to you simply the element of playing and having fun. Using elements you love and want to exercise more. And creating outside of your built in norms.
Thanks for letting me share what is currently inspiring me.
Awesome--what a great idea, so freeing! Who knows where it might lead and what each of us may discover about our art and ourselves along the way! Thanks for sharing!
this is so super duper cool!!! so very artistic!!
i love the look of mixed media, but am a bit wary. i just have to do it and i know i'd enjoy it.
where's my LOVE button!!!! FABULOUS!!!
