➤ V&A celebrates Steve Strange as the poser who put the pazazz into 80s nightlife

Giving this week's V&A Lunchtime Lecture, May 2018: Curator Keith Lodwick in full flow. . . On-screen, Bowie's Pierrot costume displayed in the V&A's 2013 exhibition Bowie Is, with Steve Strange and other Blitz Kids pictured in Bowie's Ashes to Ashes video in 1980
◼ 80S POP-STAR FRIENDS OF STEVE STRANGE turned out this week for a unique event at the V&A, the UK's premier museum of art and design. The weekly Lunchtime Lecture was titled Steve Strange: From Blitz Club to Top of the Pops, and was delivered by Keith Lodwick, curator of Theatre and Screen Arts, to an audience that included singer Clare Grogan, ABC's Martin Fry and his wife Julie, Jennie Matthias from The Belle Stars and Fifi Russell from Yip Yip Coyote. Steve's mother Gillian Harrington and his sister Tanya had travelled from Wales with PR Amanda Lloyd to attend the occasion with other family members.
The talk traced Strange's flamboyant life from Wigan Casino, through glam-rock and punk, to hosting a landmark club-night at Billy's jointly with deejay Rusty Egan, then another at the Blitz in 1979–80. This was the club-night that Band Aid organiser Midge Ure has described as "the beating heart of the electronic dance music that led the 1980s."
Strange said of his strict admissions policy on the door: "I wanted creative-minded pioneers who looked like a walking piece of art." Indeed, the club became Strange's own catwalk for sporting outrageous outfits by both the leading designers of the day and London's budding fashion students. Lodwick said: "He once told a journalist 'I am on stage 24 hours a day'. Steve, who died in 2015, remains one of the enduring figures of the New Romantic period."

Lodwick reminded us of the pop pantheon Strange was joining at the museum when he extended "a huge thank-you to Gill, Tanya and Amanda for being a link in the chain that enabled the V&A to acquire Steve's archive and costumes two years ago. The family donated mainly clothes from the 2000s – including designs by Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen. Steve's costumes join those worn by Sandie Shaw, the Beatles, Mick Jagger, Marc Bolan, Jimmy Page, Elton John and Adam Ant."
We watched two video clips which underlined Strange's obsession with image-making: the music video for his band Visage's hit Fade to Grey in which he is transformed into a snake; and a documentary in which milliner Stephen Jones suggests that berets he made for both Strange and for the Princess of Wales coupled them "as a fashion force together".
Lodwick concluded: "Steve's legacy will live on for being central to re-energising the club scene in London – pushing forward electronic music, fashion, photography and pop."

➤ A sensational portrait of Bowie as the man who shaped our responses to an age of shattered dreams
Posted on 15 Jan 2016 | Leave a comment
1969: "This is Ground Control to Major Tom / You've really made the grade / And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear"
➢ Today's issue of The Economist pulls out the plum – a superb obituary casting David Bowie as a wonderful epitome of alienation who saw a way through the world's fears of imminent annihilation:
" IN JULY 1969 men walked on the moon, a technological leap all but unthinkable 50 years before. Three years later they abandoned it, and have renounced all return ever since. What boosters saw as the great opening act of the space age turned out to be, in effect, its culmination. Within a few years presidential corruption, economic stagnation, military ignominy and imagined catastrophe had warped post-war America's previously impervious belief in progress, a belief that had resonance across the then free world. After Apollo, the future would never again be what it used to be.
David Bowie's greatest years began nine days before Apollo 11 touched down in the Sea of Tranquillity, with the release of his single Space Oddity; they ended 11 years later, with the single Ashes to Ashes. Over that decade he used imagined futures to turn himself into something contradictory and wonderful — an epitome of alienation with whom the alienated flocked to identify. In doing so, he laid bare one of the key cultural shifts of the 1970s: the giving up of past dreams. . . " / Continued online
"In Space Oddity Major Tom, floating in a most peculiar way, had been an isolated spaceman;
by Ashes to Ashes his isolation was a junkie's"
– The Economist
1980: "Ashes to ashes, funk to funky / We know Major Tom's a junkie / Strung out in heaven's high / Hitting an all-time low"
➢ Previously at Shapersofthe80s: "I'm not a rock star" Bowie often said – No, David, you were a messiah

A humanoid alien comes to Earth with a mission… What a spooky coincidence that David Bowie played the alien Thomas Jerome Newton in the 1976 film The Man Who Fell to Earth
Today's Times: the masks and the man behind them
◼ ALL 10 BRITISH NATIONAL NEWSPAPERS filled their front pages today with the death of David Bowie at 69 – and so did scores of newspapers overseas. The last pop star whose death justified such deification was Jacko in 2009; and the last British pop star to do likewise was John Lennon, in 1980. The Times of London dedicated 18 pages including an outer broadsheet wrapper to honouring Bowie, plus an editorial comment as blessing. The Guardian topped that with 20 pages, plus the most enlightened editorial comment of them all. Not only did this misfit megastar and cultural icon radiate consummate flair as a performer but he displayed "an instinctive affinity with his times". He had a "way with the zeitgeist".
All media, notably social media, captured the dominant sentiment of generations of fans suddenly plunged into mourning. Again and again they claimed: He changed my life. . . He taught me how to be myself. . . David was my inspiration. . . David was my tutor. And most could quote their own favourite song lyric expressing their faith: Oh no, love – you're not alone. . . Don't tell them to grow up and out of it. . . It's only for ever, not long at all. . . All you've got to do is win. . . We can be heroes just for one day.

➤ Nowt so Strange as Stephen John Harrington

Steve Strange: Precocious club host and the face of synth band Visage, he changed British nightlife for ever
RIP Steve Strange
28 May 1959–12 Feb 2015
King of the Posers, Leader of the Blitz Kids,
co-founder of the Blitz Club,
PIED PIPER FOR THE NEW ROMANTICS,
catalyst for London's fashion and pop
explosion in the 1980s
" I chose to become famous and I work very hard at promoting myself. For me going out at night is work "
– Steve Strange,
speaking to the Evening Standard in 1983
Iain R Webb, original Blitz Kid, later fashion editor of The Times and other publications, pays tribute to Steve Strange, who died in Egypt earlier today:
" Steve gave us somewhere to go and beyond the crazy costumes and caked on make-up (maybe because of the…) made us each believe we had someone to be. He burned bright and we followed that light like moths to a flame – Billy's to Blitz to Hell to Club For Heroes to Camden Palace… Oh, how we danced. His maverick spirit will never fade "
Kim Bowen, stylist and former Queen of the Blitz Club, says:
" You did create the stage on which
we all appeared "
Andy Polaris, original Blitz Kid, and vocalist in Animal Nightlife, says:
" It's always a shock when you hear news that snatches away part of your youth. Steve Strange was not only a colourful character who had always left an impression on my teenage years. He was also a pivotal player in transforming London nightlife, along with deejay Rusty Egan. Their Tuesday nights at Billy's club gave birth to the Blitz Club that influenced a generation of designers, musicians and artists. It's remarkable the amount of creative talent that emerged from these clubs. It's important to acknowledge that without Steve's input a lot of these creative synergies might have never happened "
Midge Ure, synth pioneer with Ultravox and Visage and driving force behind Band Aid, said:
"Steve and Rusty created a movement in London. The Blitz and the subsequent Blitz Kids grew into a massive movement in the UK associated with fashion and image and photography. You could stand in the Blitz Club and look around you and there'd be future journalists and film-makers and writers and musicians, and a young Boy George taking coats at the coat check. There was something really vibrant about that, and they were responsible"

➤ The Blitz Kids WATN? No 37, Judith Frankland — Aufwiedersehen Geordieland, pet
Posted on 4 Oct 2011 | 2 comments
The Great Escape, 2011: Judith Frankland prepares to break out from Newcastle at dawn this morning within the 20kg baggage allowance. Photograph by Joanne Lodge
❚ MOST OF BRITAIN MAY BE SWELTERING in a historic autumn heatwave. Yet Judith Frankland, the ex-Blitz Kid fashion designer, flew out of Tyneside this morning to establish her business in Germany swathed in vital garments she couldn't pack within the 20kg baggage allowance. "This is my idea for getting as many clothes onboard as possible," she said. "I'm wearing three topcoats: first a black full-length fake-fur, then stuffing myself inside a black lightweight down to the ankles, then the grey mountain-goat shortie. On top, loads of jewels of course, and in the pockets loads more bling. Down below, I'm in leather biker's pants, heavy and warm, plus Harley Davidson boots."
Biker leathers, darling??? "No of course I'm not going bikey, don't be daft! They are simply so warm and cost only 50p brand new in a car-boot sale. I know I'm going to get beeped at security for my jewellery — changing planes last time at Schiphol, my steel-tipped stilettos set off the alarm. But if they stop me, I'll be prepared for them, like Maria von Trapp. I'm going to say I'm anorexic and feeling the cold."
This is how an upstart style princess prepares herself for Berlin, plus new-look hair, cut last night and freshly rinsed pink. She means business. A modest container is already being shipped by Voovit, bringing Judith's sewing machines, her dramatically retro promotional collection for The Woman Who Likes To Say Hello shown this year in Newcastle upon Tyne, plus a ton more bling (she does have a way with black baubles and gilded chain). Yes, this is the great adventure to build a new life for one of the wild children of the Swinging 80s whose best break came the month she graduated from Ravensbourne art college when David Bowie dropped in at the Blitz Club and chose to put her and her clothes in his landmark video for Ashes to Ashes. [And which Shapersofthe80s displays as the picture heading this website. The New Romantics were utterly in thrall to Bowie.]
Having taken the temperature of Berlin on an exploratory trip this July, Judith has been scouting the smart district of Prenzlauer Berg for a workshop-cum-living quarters, with another eye on up-market boutiques through which to retail in the short-term.
Judith says: "My main plan is to create high fashion for women who love clothes that are beautiful but avant-garde and might even be called art. I've left England to seek fresh inspiration and shall be presenting my outfits next season in Paris in order to re-establish links with buyers who don't visit London — from Japan and the Far East, for example."

It is eight years since Judith's previous bespoke design business blew up in her face. She has described on her blog at The Swelle Life how the American backer behind her Paris-based atelier suddenly got cold feet and hot-footed it back to the States, leaving Judith as the designer holding the baby. This more or less coincided with her mother's health failing, whereupon Judith returned to Tyneside to care for her.
In Berlin, Judith has not been short of advice from friends made during her ten-year spell in Milan in the 90s designing and hosting nightclubs. Several friends are now relocated to Berlin, including photographer and videographer Sandro Martini. The Dutch costumier Eppo Dekker, who has a boutique called Prêt-à-Couture in Friedrichshain, has also been helping Judith make contacts in the city. Immediate plans include designing stage-wear for the underground performer Antal Nemeth.
"Meanwhile," Judith says, "this weekend I'm heading down to a vintage Zupermarket run by the Sameheads brothers — they say rich ladies bring in their sparkly clothes for sale and nobody goes away unhappy."
London's Cafe Royal, 1980: Judith's graduation show from Ravensbourne college of art caused a sensation with a glamorous evocation of the 50s in black and white taffeta, brocade, velvet and satin. Its climax was this black wedding dress worn by Sheila Ming, gloriously crowned by Stephen Jones's veiled head-dress made of stiffened lace on a metal frame.

ADR Motorsports Makes it Two Track Records in 2021 with DIABLO™ Superbike Slicks
By Kevin GrahamUncategorizedNo Comments
ROME, Ga. (March 25, 2021) – Pirelli Tire North America captured the brand's second absolute motorcycle track record of the 2021 season as ADR Motorsports rider Jayson Uribe set the pace at Buttonwillow Raceway in Kern County, California. Uribe's achievement was set during the opening round of the 2021 American Federation of Motorcyclists (AFM) Championship aboard a Suzuki GSX-R1000 equipped with Pirelli DIABLO™ Superbike slicks.
"We worked hard all weekend on getting the bike and myself dialed in for setting fast lap times," said Uribe. "Being able to set the track record wouldn't be possible without the support of Pirelli. The trackside service and advice was critical in setting up the bike this weekend. We decided to go with the DIABLO™ Superbike SC1 on the rear because of the colder conditions and tricky grip levels. Huge thanks to the Pirelli crew and the ADR squad for the killer bike!"

Uribe's new lap record of 1:43.067 was set on Lap 2 in the Formula Pacific class, topping the previous lap record of 1:43.497. A DIABLO™ Superbike SC2 in 125/70-17 was used on the front of his Suzuki motorcycle, while a DIABLO™ Superbike SC1 in 200/65-17 sizing was used on the rear. After setting the pace early in the race, he would go on to take the checkered flag ahead of ADR Motorsports teammate David Anthony.
"Pirelli riders were strong all weekend long," said Chris Maguire, CT Racing, Pirelli Trackside Vendor. "Despite colder temperatures, several classes saw riders on Pirelli DIABLO™ Superbike slicks setting their personal records as well as track records. Jayson [Uribe] was absolutely flying in the Formula Pacific class and really demonstrated just how good the latest generation Pirelli slicks are. Congrats Jayson!"
Anthony was the first Pirelli rider to earn an absolute motorcycle track record in 2021, which came at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway in February. Pirelli continues to remain the motorcycle tire of choice for North American riders looking to reach the top step of the podium and log fast laps at events and series that do not have a spec tire rule. Reward prizes are offered to riders who set a new motorcycle track record while using Pirelli race compound tires.

Apostle Paul's Path Through Ancient Greece
Home > Greek Culture > Ancient Greek Histo… > Apostle Paul's Path…
Written by GreekBoston.com in Ancient Greek History Comments Off on Apostle Paul's Path Through Ancient Greece
Ancient Philippi
Even though the Apostle Paul wasn't one of the original twelve disciples, he certainly did a lot to spread Christianity in the ancient world. One of his major stops was Greece where he traveled extensively to win the people over from their current religion into the Kingdom of God. At the time, the Greeks were polytheistic and worshiped such deities as Athena, Poseidon, and Zeus.
So, where exactly did he visit in Ancient Greece and what did he do to spread the word about God's Kingdom? While traveling through Greece, he left behind a legacy that we still understand today. Many of the books in the New Testament, such as Acts, Philippians and Corinthians, talk about his experiences in Greece. Here is some information about some of his more famous stops.
Christianity in Greece
Paul is responsible for giving Christianity its start in Greece. Currently, most of the population is Orthodox Christians, which can be traced right to the Apostle Paul and the churches that he started in Greece during this time. In fact, Orthodox Christians today know that they are practicing their faith in the very way that Paul, and therefore God, originally intended.
The Unknown God
One of Paul's most famous speeches took place in Athens in 51 AD. While there, he noticed that the Athenians had created an altar with the inscription "to an unknown god". Paul used this as an opportunity to reason with the Greeks in Athens. This moment can be found in Acts 17:22-30.
Note that the Athenians valued reason. By mentioning the altar they had dedicated to the "unknown god", Paul knew that it was his best chance of appealing to their intelligence.
Paul's experiences in Philippi were highlighted in the book of Philippians in the New Testament in the Bible. Total, he visited Philippi more than once. While there, he successfully converted people from their old, polytheistic to the new, monotheistic one. He also kept in touch with the church over the years and helped them out financially when they needed it, even as he was imprisoned.
Another notable place that Paul visited was Corinth. Two books from the New Testament came about while he was there, 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians. Corinth is also mentioned in the book of Acts. He eventually had to flee Corinth after he was accused of trying to convert people away from Judaism.
Thessalonica
The Apostle Paul also visited Thessalonica around 49 AD and his experiences were chronicled in the book of Thessalonians and also in Acts, which are both in the New Testament. He was able to preach in the synagogues for about three weeks until the people got fed up with him and chased him out.
These were some of the major spots where the Apostle Paul traveled while he was in Greece. Other places include Samothrace, Kavala, and Veria. Despite the difficulties he faced while he traveled, his teachings did spread. Today, Greece is a Christian country and because Greeks have settled throughout the world, this has allowed Orthodox Christianity to spread with them.

Friedrich Schüz (* 17. Juli 1874 in Düsseldorf; † 13. Oktober 1954 in Tübingen) war ein deutscher Historien-, Genre- und Landschaftsmaler sowie Radierer der Düsseldorfer Schule. Die Stadt Haigerloch ernannte ihn zum Ehrenbürger.

Leben
Friedrich Schüz wurde als ältester von drei Söhnen des aus dem Schwarzwald stammenden Genremalers Theodor Schüz in Düsseldorf geboren. Sein Großvater, später auch sein Bruder Martin (1877–1945), waren evangelische Pfarrer von Haigerloch. Der Maler Hans Schüz war sein jüngster Bruder. Nach anfänglichem Architekturstudium an den Technischen Hochschulen in Hannover und Stuttgart studierte er von 1899 bis 1908 Malerei an der Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, wo Heinrich Lauenstein, Eugen Dücker, Peter Janssen der Ältere und Eduard von Gebhardt ihn unterrichteten. Ein enger Studienfreund war der Bildhauer Gregor von Bochmann der Jüngere.

Viele Jahre seines Lebens setzte sich Friedrich Schüz mit Leonardo da Vincis Bild Das Abendmahl auseinander. Sein Verhältnis zu diesem Werk gilt als obsessiv. Als er 1908 im Auftrag des Architekten Carl Wilhelm Schleicher nach Italien gereist war, um Renaissancegemälde zu kopieren, und der Münchner Verlag Callwey ihm die Aufgabe gestellt hatte, Raphael Morghens Stich von Leonardos Abendmahl nach dem Original in Farbe zu setzen, besichtigte er das Wandgemälde im Kloster Santa Maria delle Grazie in Mailand, während es in Restaurierungsarbeiten unter der Leitung von Luigi Cavenaghi (1844–1918) gesichert wurde. Der Auftrag des Callwey-Verlages an Schüz ging auf den schwäbischen Theologen und Pfarrer David Koch (1869–1920) zurück, der seinerseits durch Otto Hoerths 1907 veröffentlichte Dissertation Das Abendmahl des Leonardo da Vinci zu der Idee einer Rekonstruktion des Gemäldes gekommen sein mag. Koch, der 1905 eine Biografie von Schüz' Vater Theodor publiziert hatte, begleitete Schüz bei der Besichtigung im Jahr 1908. Auf der Grundlage von Hoerths Schrift recherchierte Schüz ab etwa 1909 sämtliche frühe Wiedergaben des Abendmahls. Bei diesen Nachforschungen unternahm er Reisen zur Royal Academy of Arts nach London, zur Abtei Tongerlo, in den Pariser Louvre, zur Kirche des Hl. Ambrogio in Ponte Capriasca, nach Straßburg und Freiburg im Breisgau. Zwischen 1909 und 1917 fertigte er auf der Grundlage seiner Studien eine auf die Hälfte verkleinerte Rekonstruktion von Leonardos Abendmahl für den Gemeindesaal der evangelischen Auferstehungskirche in Düren in den Maßen 450 × 225 cm in Ölmalerei an. Den Auftrag hatte Schüz von dem Kommerzienrat Heinrich Schoeller (1851–1924) und dessen Ehefrau erhalten. Schoeller war hierzu wiederum von seinem Vetter, dem Architekten Carl Wilhelm Schleicher, angeregt worden. Das gerahmte Gemälde wurde auf der großen Leonardo-Ausstellung, die vom 9. Mai bis 20. Oktober 1939 im Palazzo dell'Arte in Mailand veranstaltet wurde, ausgestellt. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde es beim Luftangriff vom 16. November 1944 auf Düren zerstört.

Abgesehen von seiner Vorliebe für Leonardos Abendmahl entwickelte sich Friedrich Schüz jedoch im Weiteren zu einem Maler von Landschaften und Stadtansichten. Diese bilden die Masse seines Œuvre, in dem er etwa das Leben der Fischer an der italienischen Küste und auf Capri ebenso behandelte wie Ansichten aus der Stadt Rom. Auch Bilder aus Haigerloch und Landschaften der Umgebung malte er. In Italien lebte er für mehrere Jahre zwischen dem Ersten und Zweiten Weltkrieg. Zu Beginn des letzten Weltkriegs zog er von Düsseldorf, wo er zuvor gewohnt und dem Künstlerverein Malkasten angehört hatte, zu seinem Bruder Martin, der seit 1912 evangelischer Pfarrer in Haigerloch war.

Aus Schüz' Tagebucheinträgen geht hervor, dass er spätestens im Februar 1948 den Entschluss gefasst hatte, seine Abendmahl-Rekonstruktion neu erstehen zu lassen. Hierzu wandte er sich mit der Bitte um gutachterliche Unterstützung an den pensionierten Museumsdirektor und Kunsthistoriker Karl Koetschau und an den Leonardo-Forscher Ludwig Heinrich Heydenreich. Eine vorbereitende Studie schuf er 1949/1950. Abweichend von der Dürener Fassung stellte er Christus diesmal ohne Bart dar. Für die Realisierung der neuen Fassung wurde der Altarraum der bis 1863 errichteten Evangelischen Kirche in Haigerloch ausgewählt. 1952, zum 500. Geburtstag Leonardos, begannen die Ausführungsarbeiten, bei denen dem 78-jährigen Künstler der Grafiker Gerhard Halbritter und der Maler Walter Kröll zur Hand gingen. Die Künstler malten das Werk auf drei Leinwandbahnen, die an die Kirchenwand geklebt wurden. Damit erzeugten sie den Eindruck einer Wandmalerei. Zur Erinnerung an die Zerstörungskraft des Zweiten Weltkriegs und um die Anmutung einer Wandmalerei zu erhöhen, arbeiteten sie Splitter von Granaten in die Grundierung ein. 1953 beendeten sie ihr Werk.

In der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus war Schüz Mitglied des Nationalsozialistischen Volkswohlfahrt und der Reichskammer der bildenden Künste. Da keine weiteren Mitgliedschaften in nationalsozialistischen Organisationen bekannt waren, wurde er bei der Entnazifizierung im Jahr 1950 als "unbelastet" eingestuft.

1954 wurde ihm das Bundesverdienstkreuz verliehen. Außerdem wurde er zum Ehrenbürger von Haigerloch ernannt. Schüz verstarb im Alter von 80 Jahren in Tübingen, wohin er kurz vor seinem Tod umgezogen war. Seinen Nachlass erhielt das Stadtmuseum Tübingen.

Sempra Energy secures approval for LNG export plant in US
The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has approved Sempra Energy's proposal to construct an approximately $10bn liquefied natural gas export terminal in Louisiana.
The approval allows Sempra Energy's subsidiary Cameron LNG to build and operate the natural gas liquefaction and export facility at the site of its LNG receipt terminal in Hackberry, Louisiana.
Construction work on the three-train liquefaction facility is expected to start later this year. The facility will have an export capability of 12 million tonnes per annum of LNG.
Sempra Energy chairman and CEO Debra Reed said that the approval is another important step in delivering natural gas to US trading partners abroad.
"This is a landmark project that will bring economic prosperity and create thousands of jobs in Louisiana," Reed added.
Sempra LNG vice-president of commercial development and project leader for the Cameron LNG liquefaction project E Scott Chrisman said: "The liquefaction project is an international collaboration with our partners from Japan and France to create a world-class facility to deliver reliable LNG supplies for more than 20 years to some of the largest LNG buyers in the world."
A subsidiary of Sempra Energy has also secured approval from the FERC to construct a 21-mile 42in natural gas pipeline expansion of the Cameron Interstate Pipeline. Plans include a new compressor station and ancillary equipment that will provide natural gas transportation for the liquefaction facilities.
Earlier this year, the US Department of Energy (DOE) awarded conditional approval to Cameron LNG to export LNG to non-free-trade-agreement countries, including Japan and European nations.

The "Marine Big Five" Of South Africa
The Marine Big Five refers to seals, whales, penguins, dolphins, and sharks that live in the coastal waters of South Africa.
South Africa enjoys a long extensive coast line that is home to a variety of marine animals.
South Africa is a fascinating land and a haven for wildlife. The "Big Five" safaris are highly popular in the country. However, it is not only the terrestrial mammals of the country that draw crowds of tourists to the place but the marine fauna of the nation also manages to win the hearts of the nature lovers of the world. The coastal waters of South Africa host a rich diversity of species of which five groups of marine fauna are the most notable ones. They are often grouped together as the "Marine Big Five" and tours are conducted to allow tourists to observe these animals in their natural habitat in the coastal waters of South Africa. The "Marine Big Five" are as follows:
5. Seals
Cape fur seal.
The Cape fur seal, also known by other names like the brown fur seal is a species of fur seal that lives near the southern and southwestern African coast. These seals prefer to inhabit rocky islands and beaches, and rock ledges and reefs along the shores. Occasionally, they also live on sandy beaches. This group of "Marine Big Five" animals spend the greater part of their lives in the sea but do not venture too far off from the land. The Cape fur seal males attain a length of around 2.3 meters while females are about 1.8 meters long. They have a broad head with a pointed or upturned snout. Fish, squid, and crab constitute the major part of their diet. The seals serve as the prey of many larger marine animals like the great white shark, orcas, and whales in water and land animals like brown hyenas, black-backed jackals, etc. These seals were extensively harvested in the past but the process has been outlawed in South Africa since 1990. Unfortunately, in Namibia, seal harvesting continues for their fur and body parts to be used in traditional medicines in some countries.
In South Africa, tourists often flock to the sea in boats to watch seals in action in their natural habitat. The Cape fur seal is known for its friendly nature and often likes to accompany scuba divers. However, it is more wary of humans on land. One popular spot for observing seals in South Africa is the Seal Island or Duiker Island near Hout Bay in close proximity to Cape Town. Boat trips are arranged for tourists to allow the tourists to observe the large seal colony on the island.
4. Penguins
Penguins in Cape Town, South Africa.
Also known as the black-footed or jackass penguins, the African penguin is regarded as one of the "Marine Big Five" of South Africa. These flightless birds have a streamlined body perfectly suited for life in the sea. The penguins have flippers in place of wings for swimming in the water. Adults of this species weigh around 2.2 to 3.5 kg. The African penguins are clearly identified by the presence of a black facial mask and pink colored skin patches (due to the presence of a gland that aids the penguins in adjusting to changing temperatures) above the eyes. The penguins pursue their prey by diving in the ocean. Squid and fish comprise the majority of their diet. These penguins are found only in the African continent's south-western coast.
Visiting the penguins is a popular tourist activity in certain locations in South Africa. Tourists to Cape Town ensure they get a chance to observe these charismatic creatures in action in their natural habitat. The Boulders Beach near Simon's Town is one of the best spots to observe these creatures and capture their photographs on a white sand beach with the blue waters of the Atlantic washing the shores. The African penguins can also be observed at Stony Point in Betty's Bay.
Sadly, the African penguins are threatened with extinction and are classified as endangered by the IUCN. Hunting for meat, killing by local wildlife and dogs, the collection of penguin eggs for food, pollution, death as bycatch, and climate change all threaten the existence of these charismatic creatures. Efforts are being made to conserve this species in Africa.
3. Dolphins

South Africa's coasts are famous for their rich marine biodiversity. One of most famous marine life in the coastal waters of this country are the different species of dolphins whose graceful movements in the sea are a pleasure to watch. The country has one of the strictest cetacean conservation laws in the planet. Thus, the coastal waters here are a safe haven for dolphins. The most common species observed here include the bottlenose dolphin, humpback dolphin, and the common dolphin. These three species come closest to the shore. Several other species are found in the open ocean away from the South African coast.
Boat tours from the shores near Cape Town are popular for tourists who wish to observe dolphins in the ocean. The annual sardine run is one of the best times to watch dolphins in the region. During this time masses of dolphins can be seen along the eastern coastline. Bottlenose dolphins are the most favorite among tourists for their playful nature in the water. Humpback dolphins tend to shy away from boats.
2. Sharks
A great white shark off the coast of South Africa.
Sharks are quite common along the coasts of South Africa. A large number of shark species can be spotted in the region like the whale shark, spotted ragged tooth shark, bull shark, tiger shark, and of course, the most famous among them, the great white shark. Sharks are excellent predators and hunt to kill. They are known for their keen sense of smell and high sensitivity to vibrations. Most of the species found in the waters of South Africa live in the open ocean and are rarely encountered by humans. However, there have been a few cases of shark attacks in the past and most victims have been bathers or surfers in the sea. In most of these cases, the great white shark, nicknamed the white death, have been implicated. The great white is noted for its size. It can grow up to 20 feet in length. These sharks can live as long as 70 years. Humans and orcas are their only known predators. It is listed as a "Vulnerable" species by the IUCN.
In South Africa, shark watching is a major attraction and the great white shark is the most in demand for the shark tourism industry. Shark cage diving is also common here. It involves encounters with great white sharks in the ocean while the tourist remains within a cage attached to a boat. There are several controversies surrounding this activity. It is said the practice of attracting sharks with bait is unnatural and makes sharks fear humans less. This could encourage shark attacks on the shore. However, opposing views also exists claiming that shark cage diving boosts shark conservation. Gansbaai, a fishing town in the Western Cape, is a popular tourist destination for those interested in cage diving for encounters with the great white sharks.
1. Whales
A humpback whale in South Africa.
According to several surveys, South Africa has been ranked as one of the ten best destinations worldwide for whale watching. Whales are one of the "Marine Big Five" of the country. The coastal waters of the country host a rich diversity of whales. Every year, hundreds of whales leave their summer homes in the waters of the Antarctic to migrate to the relatively warmer coastal waters of South Africa during the winter season in the Southern Hemisphere. For the following few months, the coastal waters of the country teem with these giant animals who mate, calve, and rear their young ones in the waters of the region.
June to November is usually the best time to watch the whales in South Africa. They can be spotted in the ocean performing various activities like blowing, breaching, lobtailing or spy hopping. The southern right whales and the humpback whales are commonly sighted here during this time. The Bryde's whale, however, can be spotted all year round. There are laws as to how close the whales can be approached for observing them and tourists are advised to report to the authorities about tour companies that do not maintain these regulations. Tourists to Cape Town have the opportunity to avail one of the many whale watching tours offered in the region. Watching the whales from the land is also quite common. Hermanus, a small town in the Western Cape region is famous for whale spotting from land and is possibly the best land-based whale watching spot in the world. The southern right whales usually prefer to breed in sheltered bays off the Western Cape coast increasing the chances of whale watching in the region. Whales can be seen from many places in the Cape Peninsula.

Colegiu Național "Moise Nicoară" din Arad a fost înființat în 1873 ca liceu catolic. În prezent este una dintre cele mai prestigioase unități de învățământ preuniversitar din oraș. Colegiul este localizat în piața Margareta Bibici, nu departe de Teatrul Clasic "Ioan Slavici".

Istoric

Începuturile Colegiului Național "Moise Nicoară" sunt cele ale primei școli elementare din Arad. Colegiul a fost înființat în 1707 de călugărul bavarez Höfflich Kamill și a funcționat în încăperile modeste ale unei școli improvizate. În 1745 școala devine devine școală latină, și în 1762 gimnaziu, Obergymnasium, denumire impusă de reorganizarea sistemului de învățământ din Imperiul Austriac. În 1845 s-a aplicat o reformă școlară în urma căreia gimnaziul din Arad devine gimnaziu superior complet, iar în 1868 ia denumirea de gimnaziu superior regal. Școala latină și gimnaziul din Arad, patronate de călugării minoriți au funcționat pe rând în două locații, proprietăți ale ordinului (1745-1821 / 1821-1873).

În condițiile în care populația școlară creștea se impunea construirea unei noi clădiri. S-au folosit la început o parte din fondurile Fundației "Margareta Bibits", la care s-a adăugat apoi o contribuție substanțială a statului. Între anii 1869-1873 a fost construită clădirea actualului colegiu. Lucrările de construcție au fost conduse după planurile arhitectului Josef Diecher din Budapesta. Clădirea este zidită în stil renaissance și este compusă din două părți: clădirea principală, cu etaj și subsol, și corpul secund aflat în partea de apus unde există și sala de gimnastică. Întrucât fundația Bibits nu a putut întreține școala, din 1895 statul și-a luat asupra sa această sarcină.

La 5 octombrie 1919 școala devine Liceul "Moise Nicoară", primul liceu românesc de băieți din Arad. Ziarul local "Românul" consemna că sala festivă era plină "de toți cei care doreau să audă cuvântul românesc răsunând și afirmându-se pentru întâia dată într-un lăcaș de cultură românească.". La evenimentul de atunci a fost prezent și Vasile Goldiș, în calitate de ministru, reprezentant al guvernului, iar în cuvântarea sa primul director, profesorul Nicolae Mihulin, vorbea despre menirea liceului și anume "să crească elevi care să devină buni cetățeni români și oameni de caracter" și într-adevăr, mulți dintre cei care au trecut ca elevi pragul acestei școli, au ajuns personalități de prim rang în cultura românească: profesori universitari, doctori în științe, literați, medici, ingineri, juriști, economiști, unii dintre ei devenind membri ai Academiei Române, respectiv ai Academiei Maghiare.

Edificiul a fost preluat de statul român în 1934, iar în anul 1955, liceul a fost introdus pe lista oficială a monumentelor de arhitectură.

Reforma învățământului din 1948 a marcat începutul generalizării învățământului. Fostul liceu "Moise Nicoară" a fost denumit Școala Medie nr. 1 din Arad, iar în 1957 primește numele de "Ioan Slavici". În anul 1991 se revine la vechiul nume "Moise Nicoară", iar din anul 2000, se numește Colegiul Național "Moise Nicoară", continuând prin rezultatele deosebite obținute de elevii săi aceeași tradiție de școală de elită, punct de referință în învățământul preuniversitar, recunoscut atât în plan local, național cât și internațional.

În anul 1998 s-a constituit Fundația "Moise Nicoară", instituție cu caracter educațional, care și-a propus stimularea și sprijinirea materială a activităților extracurriculare ale elevilor și profesorilor din școala cu același nume.

În toamna anului 2011 au început ample lucrări de reabilitare a colegiului prin fonduri europene. Lucrările, în valoare de 11 milioane de euro, reprezintă cea mai mare finanțare obținută în întreaga regiune de vest a României pe secțiunea dedicată infrastructurii educaționale. Lucrările au durat până în vara anului 2013, în podul clădirii fiind amenajat și un spațiu pentru un observator astronomic.

Dotare

Sala festivă
Sala festivă a colegiului, în care predomină elementele în stil baroc, este o încăpere special destinată evenimentelor oficiale (decernarea de premii, conferințe, serbări, festivitățiile de început/sfârșit de an școlar etc) prevăzută cu toate dotările tehnice necesare desfășurării unor astfel de activități. Aceasta a fost recent renovată, toate elementele arhitecturale fiind readuse cu deosebit de multă grijă și precizie la gloria lor de odinioară.

Informatică
Colegiul are 3 laboratoare de informatică dotate cu smartboard-uri. Se pot ține lecții asistate de calculator, laboratoarele de informatică fiind deschise tuturor catedrelor.

Colegiul dispune de 2 laboratoare de fizică. În fiecare laborator se pot realiza principalele experimente de mecanică, fizică moleculară, căldură, fenomene electrice și magnetice, fenomene optice, cu ajutorul materialelor didactice necesare. Un laborator este prevăzut cu TV, video și calculator, unde se pot fi prezentate filme didactice și pot fi simulate fenomene fizice. Catedra de fizică a inițiat din 1999 un cerc de astronomie, care are o dotare de ultimă generație constând intr-un telescop, o lunetă și un aparat foto cu care pot fi studiate principalele fenomene astronomice. Cu ajutorului calculatorului conectat la internet se păstreză legătura cu alte cercuri astronomice și licee din țară. Odată cu renovarea din 2011, Colegiul Național "Moise Nicoară" dispune acum și de un observator astronomic situat în podul edificiului.

Cantina

În cadrul colegiului funcționează o cantină unde iau masa zilnic peste 80 de elevi și profesori. Meniul servit este unul stas, adaptat la preferințele elevilor.

Biologie
Catedra de biologie dispune de un laborator și de un depozit cu materiale didactice. În laborator se găsesc mese faianțate prevăzute fiecare cu chiuvete, unde se pot efectua principalele lucrări practice de fiziologie vegetală și animală, cu ajutorul aparaturii adecvate. În depozitul de materiale se găsesc planșe și mulaje didactice, o colecție rară de păsări și mamifere împăiate, animale formolizate, fosile, schelete.

Educație tehnologică și atelier
Colegiul dispune de un complex de săli compus din cabinetul de Educație Tehnologică (E.T.), mobilat funcțional și utilat adecvat, un atelier pentru lucrări practice și o sală de proiecție.

Over the weekend I made a few spring updates to the décor around here. I started with the living room and - my very favorite place to decorate – the mantel.
99% of the spring décor was stuff I already had. I just added burlap, twine and a few other little details for a rustic spin. The one new item is a fabulous little mercury glass bottle. It was 70% off at Joann a couple days ago, and I just couldn't resist.
I love it It's sparkly and shiny and it'll be great for just about every season.
I used scrapbook paper and burlap to dress up the pillar candles a bit. And I made the burlap "J" art from a dollar store item I had laying around and a $1 wooden letter from Hobby Lobby.
I dug a green glass bottle out of the recycling bin (and washed it, thankyouverymuch) and added some twine. It adds a beautifully reflective touch of extra green.
The ceramic bird is also a dollar store purchase from a year or two ago.
…and was inspired to make up my own version. I already had a strand of "tiki" type lights, so I just covered them with brown paper to tone them down a bit.
I finally put up some wall art in the space to the left of the fireplace.
And I used my refinished, reversible tray to dress up the ottoman. But more on that later.
On the hearth is a springy wreath atop two old textbooks and on the other side is a twig basket with a wire bowl of pine cones and candles on it.
I used a scrap piece of white canvas to line the inside of the twig basket on the hearth. The blue and orange blanket stored in that basket wasn't exactly complimenting the fireplace and it's nicer to see the twig detail against a light background anyway.
I'm really loving this new spring mantel and hearth. It adds a lighter, airier feeling to the living room, and it was easy on the pocketbook too. It's helping me get in the mood for nicer weather.
Thanks for stopping by! More spring décor coming up later this week: the dining room, front door (sayonara Christmas wreath!), and the rest of the living room.

One week a month, Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by the week's new releases or premieres. This week: School's out for summer. Celebrate the end of a semester (or just the release of Neighbors 2) with these unconventional campus comedies.
Broderick is the freshman of the title—a freshman not just at NYU film school but also in life. Fleeing a staid Vermont existence living with a stepfather who not even his mother seems to like, Broderick's Clark Kellogg gets ripped off mere minutes after arriving in New York, losing all of his belongings to Vic (Bruno Kirby, kind of filling in the Peter Falk role). When Clark spots Vic again, he gets pulled into a somewhat-shady part-time job, enticed by the enigmatic Carmine Sabatini (Brando), who is, of course, a spot-on version of Vito Corleone himself, right down to the mumbled dialogue, the cheek scratching, and a neighborhood stroll by the orange stand.
Making the movie even more meta, everyone notices the Godfather resemblance but are all advised not to remark on it. Carmine won't even admit to being anything other than a legitimate businessman, even though he has an armed guard watching his house and the real Mona Lisa in his living room. His daughter, Tina (Penelope Ann Miller), is a much more entertaining crime-family princess than Mary Corleone (poor Sofia Coppola). But beneath zany romps involving a Komodo dragon, corrupt FBI agents, and Paul Benedict's inspired send-up of an egomaniac professor ("Have you read Fleeber On Film by Fleeber?") helpfully pointing out the Godfather parallels of the movie he's in, there's a different kind of love story.
The Godfather is ultimately about family, after all. Fatherless Clark finally finds a parent figure he can look up to in Carmine; he's drawn to the older man's compassion, his genuine interest in people, his ease in expressing his warm feelings for Clark. Even Carmine's dialogue-free walk through his neighborhood, trailed by Clark, is a breathtaking portrait of the sheer force of his personality. The quiet highlight of the movie is Clark reciting one of his dead father's poems to an appreciative Carmine. After a short chat, the patriarch stands up, looks around the dorm room, chuckles, and says, "So this is college. I didn't miss nothin.'" After all, he's teaching Clark more valuable life lessons than school ever could.
Availability: The Freshman is available on DVD from your local (or campus) library/video store. It's also available to rent or purchase from the major digital outlets.

Medicine and Health in the Middle Ages
The Middle Ages, the period in history between the fall of the Roman Empire and the beginning of the Renaissance (roughly 500 to 1400 A.D.), was very much a time of darkness for modern civilization. It was a time in which the church as well as superstition heavily influenced the culture, which in turn stifled development in many areas. One of the fields that remained the most stagnant during medieval times was that of medicine. Because of the church's increasing role in all areas of society during this time, a lot of the previous gains made in the medical field by the Greeks and Romans were abandoned and forgotten.
Doctors were often hard to come by during these times. They could usually be found only in big cities, and the poor or those living in rural areas had to travel long distances to be able to seek treatment. In those areas without access to doctors, there was often a monastery or herb gardener charged with medical care. It was not uncommon for barbers also to double as doctors or dentists; this practice continued into the Renaissance and beyond. It was not until the end of the Middle Ages that any regulations were put into place regarding who could and could not practice medicine.

Church, Religion, and Learning in the Middle Ages
In medieval times, individuals could study in small communities from other doctors of the period, but such education was limited and usually inaccurate. To determine what was wrong with a patient, doctors would focus mostly on the bodily fluids, called "humors." Each of the four bodily fluids (yellow bile, black bile, blood, and phlegm) corresponded to elements in the universe (fire, earth, air, and water, respectively). Depending on what was observed in one's fluids and what an excess or deficiency of those fluids was assumed to represent, the doctor would make a diagnosis.
The four humors theory focused on maintaining a balance within the body. It was believed that at certain times of year, one humor or another had a greater presence in the body. Spring was associated with too much blood, summer with too much yellow bile (urine), autumn with too much black bile (stool), and winter with too much phlegm. If someone was suffering from disease in the spring, for example, a doctor would likely have used the process of bloodletting, or draining some blood from the body. In the autumn, if a person had digestive issues, they might suggest a change in diet. Some treatments were harmless, while others were life-threatening.
A medieval pharmacist, or apothecary, as they were more commonly called, either was a doctor or an herbalist. In the later periods of the Middle Ages, a separation was beginning to take place between the practice of medicine and pharmacy, and eventually, physicians were no longer able to concoct medicines on site: They could only prescribe the remedy and dose, and the herbalist would do the rest. Most medicines were derived from plants. Herbalists would use different seeds, bulbs, fresh or dried leaves, and other plant parts to come up with concoctions meant to treat different ailments. In many cases, they would prescribe medicine based on the shape of the plant they were using; a heart-shaped leaf would be used to treat a suspected heart problem, for example.

Disease and sickness were very common in the Middle Ages. People lived in very close quarters and did not understand the importance of hygiene. Diseases that were most widespread were smallpox, leprosy, measles, typhus, and, perhaps most famously, the bubonic plague, also known as the Black Death. Almost all diseases at the time had unknown causes. This made treatment a bit of a guessing game and prevention very difficult.
The bubonic plague in particular left many doctors stumped during this time period. The plague caused black splotches all over the body as well as fever and other flu-like symptoms. It is known now that the disease was spread by fleas that traveled on rats, but the people at the time did not know how the plague was caught. Civilians and doctors thought that it was contagious and set up quarantines, but fleas from the rats continued to spread the disease regardless. The plague ended up killing more than a third of the population of Western Europe during the Middle Ages.
To try to cure the plague, doctors tried an extensive range of treatments. Some prescribed rose water and vinegar to be scrubbed all over the body. Others would cut open the infected buboes (lymph nodes), drain them of any fluid, and apply dried human waste to the site. Doctors also commonly bled patients to try to rid the body of disease. Witchcraft was resorted to when these treatments didn't work.

The Middle Ages were definitely an uncertain time for the practice of medicine. The combination of restrictions from the church, the following of outdated and inaccurate practices from the Greeks and Romans, and the dangerous treatments administered resulted in the unsuccessful treatment of many ailments and a high mortality rate among those who fell ill. Nevertheless, many of the mistakes made by doctors during this period served as a learning experience for physicians of the Renaissance that followed, and advances were able to be made in the field that paved the way for modern medicine.

1996 Clinton Dole Results
Thanks to a robust economy and the absence of divisive foreign-policy issues in the presidential election, Bill Clinton enjoyed a relatively trouble-free ride on his way to becoming the first Democrat since Franklin Roosevelt to be elected to a second full term. Clinton's victory represented an impressive political comeback. In 1994, Republicans had won control of both houses. Wielding enormous influence, House Speaker Newt Gingrich had forged the Republicans' "Contract with America," a conservative legislative agenda. During intense budget battles between the president and Congress, the federal government was shut down twice. Clinton blamed this on the Republicans, which enabled him to position himself in the center and portray the Republicans as extremists. The Clinton campaign repeatedly linked his opponent Bob Dole to Gingrich, while championing mainstream causes such as the Family Leave Act, college tuition credits, and a ratings system for television. Dole tried, without much success, to use the "character issue" to his advantage. Yet the public showed little interest in Clinton scandals such as "Whitewater," "Filegate," and "Travelgate," and allegations of campaign-finance abuse.

Al Gore for vice president
"Building a Bridge to the 21st Century"
Bill Clinton's ads consistently associated Bob Dole with House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Grainy black-and-white footage of Dole standing next to Gingrich exploited the public's disenchantment with the Republican-led Congress following the shutdown of the federal government. In contrast with these ominous images, colorful, upbeat montages outlined Clinton's achievements in a wide range of social programs. These ads took credit for the robust economy, and also played on the fear that the Republicans' assault on "big government" might threaten programs that the public supported, such as Social Security and education.
Other ads focused on micro-issues, such as Clinton's support for school uniforms and a TV rating system. Using the phrase "protecting our values" as one of their slogans, the Clinton campaign was able to seize the political mainstream. Clinton's support of the death penalty and intention to cut welfare were among the traditionally conservative positions heralded in his commercials. Above all, the consistency, high production values, and upbeat nature of the ads reflected competence while subtly raising questions about Dole's advanced age.
Bob Dole for president
Jack Kemp for vice president
"A Better Man for a Better America"
Bob Dole's commercials portray him as a war hero and a man of simple integrity, in contrast with Clinton's questionable morals. However, polls repeatedly showed that, with the economy in good shape, the public was more interested in President Clinton's job performance than in the numerous minor scandals that had emerged during his first term. Dole's commercials, inconsistent in message and tone, failed to establish an effective target. One spot, "The Threat," began with footage from Lyndon Johnson's famous 1964 "Daisy" commercial about the danger of nuclear war, and stated that the biggest threat was drugs. But the ad never made clear how this problem was linked to Clinton. Dole's proposal of a 15 percent tax cut was cited in numerous ads, yet without any explanation of how it would have been funded. With a healthy economy, and a shrinking budget deficit, a tax cut was not a high priority for voters.

Florida passes first responder workers' compensation law
On Behalf of Baehman Law | Mar 13, 2018 | Workers' Compensation
Post-traumatic stress disorder is a mental health condition that comes after somebody goes through a traumatic life event. Many soldiers experience it after deployment, but it's a human ailment that affects all types of work. Firefighters, police officers and emergency room nurses are just a few of the many first responders who experience troubling situations in the line of work. Coming upon a crime scene or the site of an accident can have lasting effects.
While many first responders encounter this in their line of work, workers' compensation in Minnesota, as it stands today, only covers PTSD when certain conditions apply. As we discussed earlier, the state requires that there must be a physical component to the traumatic situation. There are efforts in the state to have PTSD considered presumptive work-related injury for first responders, but it has yet to pass legislation. Looking nationally, there are signs that more workers' compensation rights are coming.
A new law in Florida
Even though workers' compensation exists in all 50 states, each state has unique laws that define it. Last week, Florida Gov. Rick Scott signed a new law that allows Florida first responders to receive lost wage coverage for PTSD. Roughly one-third of states, including Minnesota, have similar laws.
New stresses every day
Florida's new law comes in the wake of high-profile tragedy in the state, but first responders are exposed to challenging and highly stressful situations every day. While the Pulse nightclub shooting and school shootings are the focus of press coverage of Florida's new law, daily interactions can be just as traumatic.
NPR cites the example of firefighter and paramedic Josh Vandegrift, from Cocoa, FL. When he got to the scene of an accident in 2016, the victim was his own brother. This led to Vandegrift's battle with PTSD.
On-the-job injuries deserve compensation
The intense stress of these scenarios is hard on any witness, especially those who have a job to do. There are unique challenges when this stress overlaps with a career and the ability to earn a living.
The workers' compensation program was established to protect workers from injuries, ensuring that on-the-job incidents won't threaten one's livelihood. The simple fact is that injuries can be internal and external, and that PTSD plays a significant role in a worker's well-being. Anyone who experiences a traumatic situation at their workplace should consult with a workers' compensation attorney to get a better understanding of what treatment is available to help you recover from a painful situation.

I guess I am not the only one who tried everything to lose weight. But just like most people, I never got the results I wanted. The programs and solutions I've tried before left me feeling disappointed and unhealthy. Everything changed when I gave Red Tea Detox a try. Before telling my story about how the program helped me not only in decreasing excess fat but putting my health back on track, I'd love to share a quick backstory about where and how the program started.
Being a weight loss expert, she tried all time-tested techniques she knew to eliminate all of the excess weight but to no avail, she couldn't. The fact that she could not get back to her normal weight made it also difficult for her to get back to her normal life. Everything changed when she moved to Africa and got to know a tasty drink that helped her burn body fat simpler and quicker without the typical cravings.
She started by dropping 14 pounds to a different 27 pounds and all of these are the results of the beverage she discovered. Liz didn't discover the drink by herself.
The fact that it works without the need to go through rigorous diets and difficult sets of exercise which makes it better than other weight loss solutions. Most people who tried a lot of programs might think that this is the same as some of these programs that won't work and leave their pockets empty.
If popular tea varieties such as green tea contain a specific amount of caffeine, the red tea is free of the substance. This produces the drink safe to drink even at night when you just want to enjoy a restful sleep. Furthermore, it is a safer weight loss drink that will not result in other health complications.
Unlike other weight loss solutions, Red Tea Detox aims to provide a product that is suitable for both adults and young. Bear in mind that many products for losing weight are only meant for adults. Because most dietary supplement companies only target adults dealing with obesity, their products are not safe for younger adults or even children.
What I like the most about the red tea is the recipe caters to children and adults. It has a special taste that everyone will love. The recipe also has a sweetened version that is suitable for those who love a hint of extra sweetness in their drink without undermining the effects. All these only prove that Liz gives equal value in enhancing the health of young children and adults.
Unlike other weight loss solutions which take a whole lot of time before you feel or see solutions, this solution is tried and tested in stopping hunger cravings. Just imagine losing around 1 pound of extra fat in every 72 hours. Yes, it sounds impossible, but I got the results I need and much more by simply following the program to a T.
The program helped me to finally achieve my goal to return to shape without always feeling hungry. For somebody who experienced its effects firsthand, there's nothing that could stop me from spreading the word about it and recommending it to other people who also need the very same changes like what I as well as the author had.
You've heard about green teas and black teas, but this drink is much different than these kinds of tea. Yes, these are well-acknowledged for their health benefits which include losing weight. Green tea, for instance, is packed with powerful antioxidants that help in reducing the risks of developing cardiovascular disease as well as dreadful cancer. However, with red tea, it allowed my body to fully function at its best and helped me gain my confidence back and feel healthy inside out.
In addition to its main benefits, it is combined with other essential elements that make the recipe more effective in promoting better health. Nothing makes losing weight more fulfilling but by knowing that you're also giving your body all the help it needs to return to its healthy state.
Just like most people, the common problem area is that the unattractive sight of their belly fat. It doesn't only make one uncomfortable but it also makes one always conscious of what to wear or how they look. As more people are uncontrollably gaining weight, there are also many who are looking for ways on how they can efficiently get rid of their belly fat.
It's given that many have tried starving themselves and exercising for several hours a day merely to eliminate excess fat. But, there are many people who end up feeling disappointed knowing they don't feel and see some changes. Some are too frustrated to try another app or just return to their regular eating habits and unhealthy lifestyle.
As Red Tea Detox gains more attention, more people are considering trying it as claims amazing effects on improving one's general health. With the reviews regarding the effects of the program, there is no wonder why many are interested to know how successful the program is in boosting belly fat loss. Starting the program is somewhat complicated and challenging, but the whole program includes a manual and a booklet to encourage you to focus on achieving your objective.
This is the frequent question by many who are intending to lose weight. Unfortunately, there are a lot of programs which don't work for most people. Believe me, I experienced how to feel frustrated using a program I followed and invested time, effort, and money with. This is the major reason why some are giving up on using or after certain weight loss programs. However, you can put all your worries aside once you opt for this program.
According to what I experienced, the program works in curbing appetite and shifting on the inherent mechanism of the body in burning fat as well as decreasing fat cells will work for everyone. Why is this program worth trying is the fact that it is suitable for people of different ages, male or female. It will deliver results despite the current fitness level of someone. Hence, making the program a great go-to option not just for those who are new to trying such programs but also for people who are beginning to quit trying.
At a glance, most people would take the Red Tea Detox as a program that would just shed the body's water stack. It is believed to be the most effective and quickest way to lose excess pounds. As most folks know, this process doesn't permanently keep the outcome. However, this is not true for this program.
Observing the Red Tea Detox program, your body will take on a different, healthy and scientifically proven procedure for eliminating all the toxins in the body. As all toxins are flushed from the body, all physiological systems are slowly pushed to fully function and minimize all health risks.
There are a whole lot of benefits that a detox process can do for the body. With a complete detox process, a person gaining weight because of underlying health problems like insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, and leaky gut can get the help they need to control their weight and potentially reduce the excess. This, in turn, resulted to achieve amazing and noticeable weight loss.
Stay motivated in following the whole program by maintaining this booklet always in hand. During the times when you just want to return to your regular meals, open this booklet and remain focused on achieving your weight loss goals.

FG to generate $2bn yearly from NNPC, Chevron EGTL project
Uche Usim, Abuja
If projections go as planned, the federal government will be generating $2 billion annually from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and the Chevron Nigeria Limited (CNL) multi-billion-dollarsEscravos Gas-to-Liquid (EGTL) project.
The Group Managing Director of the Corporation Mele Kyari, who made the disclosure at a sign-off meeting in Abuja said that CNL would boost the domestic gas market with 400MMScf per day gas supply, equivalent to 26% of total domestic gas supply in the country.
