Mexico Government Stats
Author: chris.lockyer781
Mexico or the United Mexican States is composed of 31 states and a single federal district. The country is governed by the federal republic under a centralized government. The President is the head of state and the executive branch. The other two branches are the legislative and judicial. The Chamber of Deputies is composed of 500 deputies elected during free elections every three years. 300 of them are elected in so-called single seat constituencies while the other 200 are voted according to the principle of proportional representation.
Mexico has always remained neutral during global conflicts. However, there were political parties that have made proposals for the amendment of the constitution so the Mexican armed forces can cooperate with the United Nations for international peacekeeping missions. The nation is also one of the founders of international organizations like the United Nations, Organization of American States and Organization of Ibero-American States.

La Batalla de Maldon va tenir el dia 10 o 11 d'agost del 991, a prop de Maldon, al costat del riu Blackwater, Essex. En aquell temps a Anglaterra regnava Etelred l'Indecís.

La batalla va acabar en una sonada derrota anglosaxona davant dels vikings. Després d'aquesta, l'arquebisbe Sigeric de Canterbury i altres nobles van aconsellar el rei Etelred de pagar 10,000 lliures Romanes (3,300 kg) de plata als vikings per aturar el conflicte, sent aquest el primer exemple de Danegeld dins Anglaterra.

Una narració de la batalla, ornamentada amb molts discursos dels guerrers i amb altres detalls, es recull en un poema en anglès antic conegut com La Batalla de Maldon.

Segons la Crònica anglosaxona, el noruec Olaf Tryggvason dirigia les forces vikingues, estimades entre 2.000 i 4.000 homes. D'altra banda, l'obra del , Liber Eliensis, escrita pels monjos d'Ely, suggereix que l'ealdorman anglès Byrhtnoth només comptava amb uns pocs soldats.

El poema La Batalla de Maldon
'La Batalla de Maldon' és el nom pel qual es coneix el fragment supervivent d'un poema en anglès antic de 325 línies. L'estudi lingüístic ha conclòs que inicialment el poema complet va ser transmès oralment, posteriorment manuscrit en el dialecte saxó d'Essex i finalment sobrevivint com a fragment en la forma saxona de Wessex, possiblement gràcies a un dels escrivans del monestir de Worcester.

Fortuïtament, el fragment estava endossat a un manuscrit molt notable, la Vida del Rei Alfred, el qual indubtablement va ajudar en la seva supervivència.

La Batalla
Al temps de batalla, la política anglesa en resposta a les incursions vikingues estava dividida. Alguns estaven a favor de pagar als invasors amb terra i riquesa, mentre altres preferien lluitar fins al darrer home. Entre aquests es trobaria l'ealdorman Byrhtnoth, al davant de les forces angleses durant la batalla i protagonista d'emotius discursos patriòtics.

El vikings van navegar el Blackwater (llavors conegut com a riu Panta) aigües amunt i Byrhtnoth va fer cridar les seves forces, majoritàriament camperols. Els vikings van desembarcar en una illa petita en el riu que, amb marea baixa, es connectava a la riba.

Olaf es va adreçar als Saxons, prometent marxar si se'l pagava amb o. La resposta de Byrhtnoth fou que "et pagarem amb puntes de llança i fulles d'espasa."

Les forces d'Olaf no podien arribar a la riba, defensada pels anglesos, així que el cabdill va demanar a Byrhtnoth que permetis els seus guerrers travessar el riu per establir batalla. Byrhtnoth, en un excés d'orgull, va accedir.

Al iniciar-se la batalla, un anglès anomenat Godrīc va fugir muntant el cavall de Byrhtnoth. Molts anglesos, reconeixent el cavall i creient que el seu genet era Byrhtnoth fugint, van caure en el pànic. Els vikings van vèncer els Saxons matant Byrhtnoth, el cos del qual va ser recuperat, si bé sense cap.

Perquè Byrhtnoth va permetre que els vikings travessessin el riu per establir batalla, manca sense resposta. Olaf dirigia una expedició de saqueig i si Byrmoth hagués defensat la riba, els vikings probablement haurien navegat més lluny cap amunt del riu o al llarg de la costa i assaltat qualsevol altre lloc. Com a home amb tropes i armes, pot ser que Byrhtnoth es cregués en el deure d'enfrontar-se amb els Vikings per protegir altres.

Fonts contemporànies
La mort de Byrhtnoth, un ealdorman d'Essex, va ser enregistrada dins quatre versions de la Crònica anglosaxona.

La Vida d'Oswald, escrit a Ramsey, Anglaterra al voltant del mateix temps que la batalla, retrata Byrhtnoth com una figura gairebé sobrenatural.

El 1170, el Llibre d'Ely també narra la història i mostra Byrhtnoth com un heroi local.

A few days ago I got a message on Whatsapp about the short term availability of the fresh green chick pea otherwise known as green channa. I was delighted and quite eager to get my hands on this rarely available ingredient.It's not really common in South Indian cuisine because they are grown primarily in the upper most regions of our country.
The channa in this fresh green state is harvested for a very short duration before it is left to mature and develop to a darker brown stage which most of us are familiar with. This young channa is highly nutritious and a great source of protein.It is also much easier to digest in this form and does not cause as much flatulence as the brown ones.
The colour is such a pretty shade of green ,like a new leaf that unfurls to the first light of day after a cold spell. It looked extremely appetising and we couldn't wait to add it to a few dishes.The chick pea has a rare characteristic,in that,it is both a protein as well as a carbohydrate. Also like most greens it has a good amount of calcium.
'Hara channa ' as it's commonly referred to in the North is popularly eaten ,when green, as a chaat dish. Mixed with the tongue tickling flavours of tamarind, coriander and garlic chutney ,topped with sev and curd,it makes for an unbeatable combination of flavours that are fresh and tangy.Our marwari friends make yummy versions of this chaat and that too in copious quantities to share with all.
This ingredient definitely spiced up meal options for the children at home. We made a simple gravy for dinner to mop up with millet rotis as well as some hara channa kebabs.The chick pea absorbs savoury flavours the best. A simple masala of ground onion,tomato and ginger with a tempering of green chilli, jeera and whole cinnamon was all that was needed to make a mouthwatering side dish.The boiled channa does turn darker when cooked but it retains the freshness and that wholesome texture.
The kebabs were made by simply adding fresh coriander leaves, green chillies and pumpkin seeds to the boiled green channa. A quick mix in the blender followed by the addition of a few spoons of gram flour and the mixture was the right consistency to shape into round cutlets.
In addition to eating these foods when in season,it also helps children learn about how a simple ingredient can be elevated to becoming a delicious meal ,with a little effort.
While people throng stores to buy products that have travelled across the seas and are thereby leaving a deep carbon footprint, small inputs on our part is all that it takes to enjoy the different produce that is grown fresh in various corners of our own country.
When we as a community come forward to encourage the availability of fresh produce,please know that we are instrumental in being the catalyst that brings about the change that will ultimately benefit the people who rightfully belong at the top of the food chain-The farmer.

New Quantum Well Solar Cell Just Set A World Record For Efficiency
Scientists keep on pushing the efficiency of solar panels higher and higher, and there's a new record to report: a new solar cell has hit 39.5 percent efficiency under the standard 1-sun global illumination conditions.
That 1-sun marker is simply a standardized way of measuring a fixed amount of sunlight, and almost 40 percent of that radiation can now be converted into electricity. The previous record for this type of solar panel material was 39.2 percent efficiency.
There are more types of solar cells around than you might have realized. The type used here, triple-junction III-V tandem solar cells, are often deployed in satellites and space vehicles, though they have plenty of potential here on solid ground as well.
"The new cell is more efficient and has a simpler design that may be useful for a variety of new applications, such as highly area-constrained applications or low-radiation space applications," says physicist Myles Steiner, from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Colorado.
The 'triple-junction' part of the equation is important in terms of the efficiency of the solar cell. Each junction concentrates on a particular part of the solar spectrum range, meaning that less light is lost and left unused.
Further efficiency gains were made through the use of so-called 'quantum well' technologies. The physics behind them is quite complex, but the general idea is that the materials are carefully chosen and optimized, and made as thin as possible. This affects the bandgap, the minimum amount of energy required to excite electrons and get the current flowing.
In this case, the three junctions are made up of gallium indium phosphide (GaInP), gallium arsenide (GaAs) with some extra quantum well efficiencies added, and gallium indium arsenide (GaInAs).
"A key element is that while GaAs is an excellent material and generally used in III-V multijunction cells, it does not have quite the correct bandgap for a three-junction cell, meaning that the balance of photocurrents between the three cells is not optimal," says physicist Ryan France from the NREL.
"Here, we have modified the bandgap while maintaining excellent material quality by using quantum wells, which enables this device and potentially other applications."
Some of the improvements added in this latest cell include an increase in the amount of light absorbed without any corresponding voltage loss. Several other technical tweaks were also made to minimize limitations.
It's the highest 1-sun efficiency of any solar panel cell ever recorded, though we've seen higher from more intense solar radiation. While it takes time for technologies to make their way from the lab into actual products, the potential improvements are exciting.
The cells also recorded an impressive 34.2 percent space efficiency, which is what they should achieve when put to use in orbit. Their weight and resistance to high-energy particles make them particularly suited for this task.
"As these are the highest efficiency 1-sun solar cells as of this writing, these cells also set a new standard for achievable efficiency across all photovoltaic technologies," write the researchers in their published paper.
The research has been published in Joule.

The NBA Trade Deadline Was A Flurry Of Crap
Jack Dickey
What a frenzied day it has been out there on the NBA marketplace! Today was the last day for teams to trade during the 2012-13 NBA season, and so teams are wheelin' and dealin' and securing their championship futures!
Take the Miami Heat—they're the favorites to win the championship in June. They made a big deal: They sent backup center Dexter Pittman and a second-round pick to the Grizzlies for a trade exception. Blam! Deal! What about the Oklahoma City Thunder, the squad favored to be Miami's runner-up? They swung a couple of big moves. They nabbed Ronnie Brewer, who wasn't even getting playing time on the Knicks, for a second-round pick. And they sent backup point guard Eric Maynor to the Blazers for a trade exception and the rights to a 27-year-old Greek named Georgios Printezis. Can you feel that? That's the NBA's locus of power migrating from Florida to OKC. But wait. It shifts north. Boston traded Leandro Barbosa's expiring contract for Jordan Crawford. Jason Collins, who was apparently still in the NBA, and on the Boston Celtics, heads to D.C. too.
You want more star-studded swaps between notable teams? The NBA's got 'em for you: Suns send Sebastian Telfair to Toronto for Hamed Haddadi. Bobcats trade Hakim Warrick to the Magic for Josh McRoberts. Anthony Morrow from Atlanta to Dallas for Dahntay Jones. Kapow! A flurry of activity! Someone get me off this Tilt-a-Whirl before I send my throwup to the ground for its trade exception!
Oh no. Here it comes. The big one. Can we handle it? Bucks and Magic. Oh boy. Deep breaths. Try to contain yourself. Gustavo Ayon. Ish Smith. JEEZ. KEEP PUSHING. Beno Udrih. OH DEAR. NOT SURE WE CAN MAKE IT. J.J. Redick. In Milwaukee. Whew. That was a close one.
It seems like most of the day was spent reporting things that weren't going to happen. Like this:
And on and on and on. But wait. Just past the deadline, a glimmer of hope leaks out. Remember "seldom-used F/C Jeremy Tyler? The one the Warriors would not trade unless there was a last-minute surprise?
He got traded!
To Atlanta. For a second-round pick. Surprise. Our time on earth has not been wasted.

After Bam Margera Sues Over Jackass 4 Compensation, New Documents Detail Issues He Blames The Franchise For
By Erik Swann last updated 13 December 21
Bam Margera isn't mincing words.
Fans are surely eager to finally feast their eyes on Jackass Forever, the fourth and final installment in the beloved film series spawned by the MTV reality show. However, the movie will be missing one key star, as OG cast member Bam Margera was fired from the stunt-filled sendoff due to issues that allegedly occurred on set. The stunt performer didn't take the news well and has since filed suit against Johnny Knoxville and the rest of his former collaborators. It's been a little while since the public has been updated on the situation, but recently surfaced legal documents have provided some insight into what Margera blames the franchise for.
Through his lawsuit, the 42-year-old skateboarder and TV personality is reportedly seeking millions of dollars in compensation. He was also hoping to get an injunction that would keep the film from releasing on its former October 2021 release date. (The film was later delayed due to COVID-related schedule shifts at Paramount Pictures.) The Blast obtained the documents in which the star accuses the Jackass franchise of causing his struggles with addiction:
I did not have any issues with addiction and drug use until I began my involvement…with the Jackass franchise. It was not until then that I became dependent on Adderall and pain medications to maintain the focus needed to satisfy the production schedule of Defendants for my various television and motion picture projects and to manage the pain associated with the injuries I suffered performing the stunts in those productions.
Bam Margera's bouts with addiction have been well documented. During the early days of filming on Jackass Forever, the star apparently went "AWOL," and it was later discovered that he'd checked himself into a rehab facility in Florida. At the time, reports also claimed that Paramount and his colleagues were seeking to help him receive further treatment. Further in the documents though, Margera also alleges that other members of the cast and crew have experienced similar issues due to their involvement with the productions over the years:
I am informed and aware that my fellow castmates have publicly and privately detailed their own challenges with addiction. I do not share those details here, as that is personal to them, notwithstanding my personal observations and knowledge.
After being let go from the movie, the MTV alum took to social media through a series of videos, in which he chastised the cast and crew, including director Jeff Tremaine. Additionally, he encouraged fans to boycott the upcoming film. The harassment became so strong that Tremaine filed a temporary restraining order against him, which was eventually approved. The situation seemed to kibosh any chance of a potential reconciliation between both parties.
Most of the cast has remained relatively quiet on the subject of their former co-star since his lawsuit was filed. Johnny Knoxville did, however, share some brief thoughts on the situation. Knoxville simply said that he and the rest of the team only wanted him "to be happy and healthy and get the help he needs."
Aside from his problems with Jackass, Bam Margera is dealing with other personal issues at the moment. It was reported in September that he had engaged in another legal battle with his wife regarding custody over their son. As of October, he was also in the midst of another rehab stint after being escorted back by police, who engaged him during an incident in Florida. It's hard to say what might come of his lawsuit, but we here at CinemaBlend will be watching to see how things play out.


pivot point is an idea or point of view around which things can turn. Finding a pivot point gives you leverage and power to control how things turn out by exercising your power to turn or not turn.
Your soul correction is a pivot point. Your soul connection, your ego connection are pivot points. The power is in your hand.
You are stuck! Sticky points, pivot points, linchpin, believe me, without knowing these you can't get unstuck.


As usual, Bombay Blues delivered fabulous food and very promptly. Great Takeaway and Restaurant.
Delivery took just over an hour and it's expensive compared to Chinese or chippy but the food is fantastic.
Excellent food, a great variety to choose from. Delivered exactly on time. Will definitely order again.
For the 4th time an incorrect or incomplete order was delivered. It was quickly rectified but that's not the point! The food is amazing but just wish there was a little more care and attention when bagging the food up.
From the Papadum's with the various dipping sauces to the exquisite BBQ'ed shrimp covered in onions/garlic followed by the Malayan curry and Tandoori platter, the cashew and coconut rice combined the main dishes to flavour festival. Service was great and had a wonderful time. Definitely recommend it!!


From April 2013, for the first time there will be a national website that covers care and support, public health and the NHS. It will provide a clear and reliable source of information that will help people to understand and find out what resources are available to help them live independently, such as services, organisations and community-based support.
For those who do not have access to online information, the NHS 111 number is a free, national telephone service that will provide advice on health and care and will signpost those that may also have social care needs to their local authority.
The new legal framework, set out in the draft care and support Bill, will require local authorities to provide an information and advice service on care and support, focusing on helping people to understand how the system works, what services are available locally, and how to access the services they need now and in the future.
We will provide £32.5 million of start up funding over 2 years from 2014/15 to support local authorities to develop better online information about local care and support options and services such as self-assessments.
These online services will be linked to Service Directories, which provide information on local and national care providers. This will improve the responsible sharing of people's personal information, assessments of need and care plans, with service users, families and carers, as well as relevant organisations and professions. This will also support the work to provide a more joined up service described in the Department of Health's recently published Information Strategy, which says that people should not have to give the same information each time they come into contact with health and care services.
The government will also provide annual funding to local authorities to help them increase the level of independently provided advice and support in their areas. This will help people who are eligible for support from their local authority to develop their care and support plan and choose how their needs could be met. The government will work with the voluntary and independent sector, and local authorities, to help develop new models of advice and support, building on peer networks, user and carer-led organisations, and community-based resources.


Contest Directions: There has been an attempted robbery in a Kentucky liquor store by a man wrapped in duct tape to conceal his identity. The so called "duct tape bandit" was stopped and held by the store owner until the police arrived. Ironically, the owner used the baseball bat wrapped in duct tape to stop and catch the burglar.
Duct tape your favorite public figure or celebrity. Place duct tape over mouth, face, body parts, but remember to keep your entries safe for work. You can apply duct tape on their skin, hair, eyes, or on their clothes or shoes. We are tired of hearing celebrities and politicians whine, duct tape them.
Fabulous job. The posted sources prove it how much work wentb into this image. By all means a winner in the contest.
Congrat's Litim!!! The first victory in advance we never forgets, that is the first of many other that still will come certainly!!
Quality blending work. Mr. Bean would smile with appreciation if he saw this. Congratulations on the silver medal, Junka!
Job well done, congratulations, katiekate!
Towel head Osama is now known as duct tape head. Fair work.
When spider-web needs the extra strength, go duct tape.
Ahmadinejad demonstrates the new freedom wear for Iran.
Clean work. Washington sure would love to see Ahmadinejad this way. Then they go duct tape the Iranian nukes.
The front teeth coming through the duct tape is an interesting touch. Love how you shave's Bush's head a bit too.
Quite good, but I would try to make her more endowed in the chest area.
Without duct tape, the assets of Jessica Biel could fall apart.
First Person that comes to mind for duct taping..
Fir once, Donald Trump will not be able to say "You are fired."
This contest is fueled by the following news: Unlike duct tape, Scotch tape is a variety of adhesive tape on cellophane base and has glue applied one side of the tape. "Scotch" and "Scotch Tape" brands are registered trade marks of 3M Corporation. In 1923, Richard Drew joined as Laboratory technician in Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing (Now it is called 3M), which engaged in the production of sandpaper. This company carried out research work in the field of waterproof surfaces and experimented with cellophane. Company put Richard Drew on the job of testing new model of sandpaper "Wetordry" in shops and automobile dealer outlets. One day, in one of the dealer outlets, Richard Drew noticed that the mechanics could not get separating lines accurately while painting the automobiles in two or more colors. Richard requested the painter to come up with an idea. In 1925, Richard Drew reached outlet with an adhesive tape having width 5cm. Painter decided to use the trial sample but when he started painting the second color, he noticed "blisters" formation in glued tape. On observing the tape closely, painter understood that glue is applied only along the tape edges so as to cut the production costs. Painter informed this to inventor. In 1929, Richard Drew ordered 90 meters of cellophane. During development stage, he had to encounter and solve many problems for example: uniform application of glue on tape. On 8th September 1930, trial tape sample was sent for testing to a client in Chicago. Initially, scotch tape was used for packaging wrappers for food and though during Great Depression years, people soon invented many other practical uses of the tape. When it came to repairing things, duct tape was considered superior to other types of tape. In 1932, John Borden improved the scotch by adding "built-in" blade for cutting. In spite of its name, scotch was not invented in Scotland or by any Scottish. Initially, the glue was applied only along the tape edges. For this, the Americans nicknamed adhesive tape as scotch (Scotch – Scottish) since, legends about Scottish stinginess was prevalent at that time. Gradually, scotch assortment increased. Various modified varieties of scotch tape appeared. Besides transparent scotch tape, color variants of this brand exist. Apart from this, besides standard roll with width 5cm, scotch tape with width 1cm is also used. Even twin-sided scotch tape was also developed. Prominent companies and large-scale manufacturers and shop assistants package their goods using scotch, on which the logotype of firm is printed. When it comes to fixing things, however, duct tape is still the king among people.

Q: Matlab - running an (x,y) function on respective columns of 2 matrices I have a quick Matlab question. In the code below, I am dividing two arrays(Upper and Lower) into subsets by dumping 36(binSize) into each column of subsetArrayU/L.
Here's what I want to do: i want to run a function I defiined earlier on subsetArrayL and subsetArrayU comparing column 1 of each to each other. (ie. sub1= fitellipse(subsetArrayL(:,1), subsetArrayu(:,1));)
I need to find a way to automated the process of matching each of the 54(nBins) columns up and running them through fitellipse. I would really appreciate some help, just let me know if you need any more info!
binSize = 36;
nData = length(Upper);
nBins = floor(nData/binSize);
nDiscarded = nData - binSize*nBins;

subsetArrayU=reshape(Upper(1:binSize*nBins),[],nBins);
subsetArrayL=reshape(Lower(1:binSize*nBins),[],nBins);

fitsub1= fitellipse(subsetArrayL(:,1),subsetArrayU(:,1));

A: Wouldn't simple looping be enough, like
fitsubs= zeros(nBins, 5) %# assuming fitellipse returns a row vector
for j= 1: nBins
    fitsubs(j, :)= fitellipse(subsetArrayL(:, j), subsetArrayU(:, j));
end

Best Blister Prevention Tips For Hikers: Why Suffer?
Blister prevention is better than blister treatment.
You, an active hiker, do not want blisters.
To avoid the nastiness of blood blisters or deep, painful blisters on your heels and toes, these 8 tips are what you need to take good care of your hiking feet.
Spend time and money on finding boots that fit properly. Keep trying until you find boots hat give you no cause for concern on any type of terrain or any length of hike.
The quest for the holy grail of hiking - great boots or trail shoes - is worth this investment.
Give your toes plenty of room with these Hiking For Her tried and true trail footwear recommendations.
Duct tape spots on your feet that feel hot or tender after the first hour of hiking.
Before heading to the trail, loop a few feet of duct tape around your water bottle.
Tear off chunks as needed at your first rest/water break.
Be sure your socks aren't taped to your feet or your boots. You want your feet to move freely with each step, but not slide around or stick to the sides.
Full disclosure: Duct tape doesn't breathe very well, and is very slippery.
This breathes better that tape, but the stickiness rapidly disappears if trail grit gets on it or your fingers touch it too much.
And use the scissors from your first aid kit to cut it to fit.
Carry an extra pair of boots or hiking shoes in your pack.
I have been known to do this if I don't trust a new, or cranky, pair of boots.
As far as my feet are concerned, the extra weight is worth it for blister prevention.
As in, play around with different sock combinations.
Liners and hiking socks abound!
But not all of them are designed for the type of hiking you like to do.
So be willing to experiment for awhile until you find exactly what works best for you.
Luckily, socks are not as pricey as boots, and you'll eventually find the perfect boot and sock combo if you keep at it.
Or swap socks (clean ones, of course) with hiking buddies until you chance upon The Magic Combination.
And read my review of Armaskin anti-blister socks here.
Pay attention to your toenails.
Trim your nails before each hike.
Get rid of hang nails.
If you clench your toes inside your boots due to nail issues, it can lead to blisters or worse - hammer toes, for instance.
For a full discussion of hiking foot care approaches, read this.
Do you have the habit of curling your toes or clenching them up as you go downhill?
Know what normal wear & tear looks like on your feet.
I have a zone on my soles between my toes and the arch where dead skin bubbles up and flakes off, similar to a blister but painless.
I use a callus stone made of pumice like this one every week to get rid of it in the shower.
I've noticed that my liner socks fit better because of that weekly ritual.
My liners can't rub and cause hot spots, which inevitably lead to blisters.
So check out your feet, especially the bottoms, and do a little preventive maintenance.
Can't see the bottoms of your feet?
Use your cell phone to snap a photo!
Avoid high heels in your non-trail life.
The shoes you wear daily have a huge impact on how your hiking boots fit.
Your feet will be molded into the shape of your daily shoes much more so than your hiking boots, simply because of the amount of contact time.
When you plunge your foot into your hiking boot on Saturday, after wearing heels Monday through Friday, the contact points will be vastly different.
This sets you up for rubbed skin, and the creation of a blister (which is the separation of your epidermis from your underlying dermis, in case I didn't mention it earlier).
Harness the magic of water with applied hydrotherapy!
Every chance you get on the trail, take off your boots and allow Mother Nature's cool waters to caress your footsies!
and a smart way to get blood flowing out of the engorged blood vessels in your hard working feet.
My toes are happy because I practice blister prevention.
Sometimes blister prevention just isn't enough!
Especially if you have a tough hike out to the trail head.
Blister treatment is pretty straightforward, but you need a few supplies.
Try this magic stuff! I carry it in my pack "just in case".
To combine the magic of Glacier Gel and the physical barrier of moleskin, get this kit.
It includes alcohol prep pads and antiseptic towelettes to ward off infection from trail dirt.
Deciding if you're a blister popper, or not.
Don't be defeated by your feet!
By paying attention to them, and investing a bit of time and money into hiker self care, you'll be dancing down the trail.
Before you go, dip into more hiking self care tips!
