Trump Calls Out California Governor's 'Charade,' Federal Government Won't Be Funding
By Randy DeSoto April 19, 2018 at 12:00pm
President Donald Trump announced Thursday that the federal government will not be paying for California's National Guard soldiers to go to the border and "do nothing."
California Gov. Jerry Brown was the last of the U.S.-Mexico border state governors to respond to Trump's request for personnel to assist in border security.
In an order issued Wednesday, Brown narrowed the mission of his troops to combating criminal gangs, human traffickers and illegal firearm and drug smugglers.
"California National Guard will not enforce immigration laws or participate in the construction of any new border barrier," Brown's order specified. He further noted that the federal government had agreed to pay for the deployment.
In making his call for National Guard soldiers for border security earlier this month, Trump identified stopping the flow of illegal immigrants as one of the primary reasons for the request, in addition to combating drug smuggling and gang activity.
On Thursday, Trump responded to Brown's deployment order by tweeting, "Governor Jerry Brown announced he will deploy 'up to 400 National Guard Troops' to do nothing.' The crime rate in California is high enough, and the Federal Government will not be paying for Governor Brown's charade. We need border security and action, not words!"

In another tweet on Wednesday, Trump lauded the efforts of local officials in California who have come out in opposition to making it a sanctuary state.
"There is a Revolution going on in California," Trump wrote. "Soooo many Sanctuary areas want OUT of this ridiculous, crime infested & breeding concept. Jerry Brown is trying to back out of the National Guard at the Border, but the people of the State are not happy. Want Security & Safety NOW!"

San Diego County's board of supervisors voted Tuesday to file a court briefing siding with the Trump administration's lawsuit against California's sanctuary state law.
"Public safety is our No. 1 priority," San Diego Board Supervisor Kristin Gaspar said. "Here in San Diego it's important to note how our law enforcement's hands are being tied by SB 54."
The suit challenges Senate Bill 54, or the "California Values Act," which mandates a limit of cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities.
Do you support Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to the border?
Yes: 100% (1844 Votes)
Last month, Orange County — located immediately to the north of San Diego County — also voted to join the Trump administration's suit against SB 54.
"We cannot allow this to happen in Orange County and we need to protect our families and our homes here in Orange County," Board Supervisor Michelle Park Steel said of the law. "And that means bolstering our cooperation with federal immigration enforcement and stopping our county from becoming a sanctuary for criminal illegal immigrants."
Steele also introduced a resolution in opposition to the sanctuary state law.
"States cannot simply opt out of federal laws they don't like," Steele said. "If tomorrow California decided that the First Amendment was a nuisance and passed legislation to restrict this constitutional right, Americans wouldn't accept the new law."

If the Cruick workshop designs and makes the products, can you do custom work?
Sorry, we wish we could, but we can't offer custom work to customers due to manpower. It's a small workshop with few hands, and all time is spent developing ideas and executing existing designs. That being said, with straps in a range of fixed length sizes and unique colourways, you can still get something very unique to your desired look and fit.
Why don't you offer shipping to my country?
As a small workshop we have to take care to protect ourselves against orders from locations with a higher statistical incidence of fraud and we're really really sorry when that impacts someone genuine. We know the vast majority of people on our spinning rock are amazing, but the bad apples sometimes spoil the party.
If you want us to review our shipping policy to your country, please email us on the contact form linked at the bottom of the page and make a request that we look into our shipping policy on your country in greater depth. If we think we've got it wrong the first time after looking at it again we'll put things right.
I like the free global shipping, can you also declare a lower value on the export documents?
We're sorry but we absolutely can't, no matter how nicely or persistently we're asked. The customer will be entirely responsible for all charges, taxes and duties relating to the importing country's jurisdiction and customs laws. We highly recommend that you familiarise yourself with your country's laws regarding import and what additional costs you may or may not have to pay.
Do you have any sales planned or coupon codes?
There is an extreme amount of effort, time and cost in the production of our designs. Keeping our pricing at normal and consistent levels allows Cruick to be a viable business. We also believe it is really frustrating for customers to buy a premium product and then see it discounted at a later date, it's not the way we want to treat our customers.
We don't plan on offering coupons or introducing sales anytime soon. However, we may well offer competitions for our community so you should definitely accept push notifications from our site, signup to the newsletter and follow on social media so you can take part.
Are Cruick camera straps genuinely British sourced and made?
We'd say we're as British as tea, but since tea leaves aren't normally grown in the UK, we're much more British than tea. We're as British as queuing and complaining about the weather. We're absolutely British sourced and made without any shortcuts.
Are Cruick products environmentally friendly?
Absolutely as kind as its possible to be. The tanning process for Thomas Ware & Sons is a traditional vegetable tannage mainly using Oak, Mimosa, Chestnut and Quebrancho barks, water and time without the harsh chemicals involved in chrome tanning. Once the leather is in the Cruick workshop only 2 out of the 21 steps to make a Cruick strap even use electricity. When our work leaves us, it leaves mainly in cardboard and cotton, with plastic wrapping as minimal as possible. Please recycle your Cruick packaging.
Thomas Ware & Sons can trace all of the skins they tan back to their origin farms ensuring only British and European standards of animal welfare are observed. Furthermore, as Thomas Ware & Sons are tanners of cowhide, the hide of the animal is a by-product of the livestock industry and not reared primarily for leather production.
My religion prevents me from touching and using any products made of pigskin. Are Cruick products definitely only cowhide leather?
We only use cowhide leather (bovine) on our current products. In the future, we may offer new products in leathers from other animal sources. However, we will never use pigskin in any of our products, now or in the future, in order to respect the religious practices of some of our customers.


Nearly 30,000 Android users accidentally downloaded banking malware after being tricked by personalized phishing forms based on the apps they use.
Google removed 29 malicious apps from its Play Store after learning about the threat, according to a report from ESET. Although the apps were attributed to different developers, the researchers discovered enough common code to suggest that they were all created by the same malware author or threat group.
The malware enables the attackers to send and receive text messages on infected Android devices, which allows them to get past multifactor authentication (MFA) protocols that might otherwise have protected the user's banking data. The malware can also impersonate software from victims' financial institutions and download additional apps to compromised devices.
Creating phony versions of banking sites is one of the oldest phishing schemes in the book, but these attackers took a more subtle approach. They scanned the other, legitimate apps on the device, grabbed some HTML code and used it to create a tailor-made form to fool victims with bogus error messages.
Some victims received a notification that their app was no longer compatible with their device and had been removed, for instance. Meanwhile, the attackers used a dropper to check for sandboxes and emulators. If they didn't find any, a loader was decrypted with a payload containing the banking malware.
The 29 malicious apps included popular utilities such as battery managers, device boosters and cleaners, the researchers noted. Others, such as phony horoscope apps, targeted users seeking casual entertainment.
People tend to be pretty fast on their smartphones, which means there may not be a lot of time between the moment a user downloads an app with a banking Trojan and when the payload is executed.
IBM experts recommend investing in client-side fraud detection to close this gap, along with technology that can identify malicious apps as early as possible. Given how easily cybercriminals can not only replicate banking sites but create a one-to-one approach with personalized forms, organizations will need to be ready to adapt to new phishing techniques faster than ever.


Robert O'Block is the 47-year-old founder and head of the American College of Forensic Examiners, a nonprofit organization that vouches an expert witness is indeed expert.
Some of the 12,000 members of his six-year-old Springfield, Mo., organization have weighed in on some of the decade's most celebrated legal proceedings: the O.J. Simpson trial, the Unabomber case, the Vincent Foster suicide and the Oklahoma City bombing, to name a few.
In the process, the college's annual revenue has soared to $2.2 million, and the founder's salary has more than quadrupled, to $189,000. But a growing number of detractors are unimpressed. Some call the college a diploma mill and want to see it put out of business.
The roots of the controversy are in a Supreme Court decision intended to tighten the standards applied to determining the quality of expert testimony by an expert witness. The ruling, in 1993, came from the case of Daubert vs. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals and directed federal judges to do a better job weeding out unqualified expert testimony.
That prompted judges nationwide to dismiss expert witnesses without proper credentials -- and caused a rush by would-be expert witnesses to bolster resumes. But there were few places to turn for help. Dr. O'Block says the field of forensic science at the time "really was a very closed society -- like a plumbers' union."
He moved quickly to fill the void. A one-time juvenile-probation officer and college professor, he was living in Branson, Mo., at the time and running a group of handwriting experts. Sensing an opportunity, he drew up glossy brochures and started a mail and telephone blitz to recruit forensic experts from all walks of life -- accountants, geneticists, physiologists -- using a computer and two tables in a small room in his home.
Later, he installed a toll-free line, 1-800-4A-Expert, for lawyers to call. To keep costs low, he put his wife and children on the board of his group, originally called the American Board of Forensic Examiners, paying his family members bargain-basement salaries. He outfitted his Jeep Cherokee with license plate ABFE-1.
Dr. O'Block's credentialing procedure costs $350. It essentially works this way: Prospective experts fill out applications, attaching professional licenses and detailing years of experience, professional degrees and published articles, among other things. They then must post at least a 75 percent score on an ethics test administered by the college, which they can take three more times if they fail (the group will waive the exam if it decides an applicant has enough expertise). Dr. O'Block himself ultimately determines who gets a credential, based on his review of an applicant's background.
His detractors say the procedure lacks the rigor of most credentialing processes, which traditionally involve intense scrutiny from professional associations or state boards along with arduous exams administered by panels of experts. Critics include a group of about 40 forensic scientists who -- in a letter-writing campaign to state education officials in Missouri -- have chastised him for running a diploma mill.
Dr. O'Block chalks it up to rivalry. "The more people certified by us, the more competition they have to face," he says. "There's a lot of politics at work here with other groups. They tend to see themselves as insiders, and we're the outsiders."
Dr. O'Block's group has given credentials to David Rosengard, a White House physician under President Lyndon Johnson; John Duffy, an assistant U.S. surgeon general; and Federal Bureau of Investigation agents, including one, John Douglas, who revolutionized criminal profiling at the agency. He says forensic experts like the group because it provides a network where they can update themselves on trends, among other things. He adds that his group's review process is becoming more rigorous by beefing up testing and course-work requirements.
Currently, Dr. O'Block is seeking permission to establish an Internet-based educational program that would offer doctorates in forensic science. No college has jumped at the opportunity to host the program. In fact, Drury College in Springfield, Mo., rejected the group's offer because its recommended courses, including a class on setting up an expert-witness business, "were too broad and too shallow," says Stephen Good, Drury's vice president of academic affairs.
Dr. O'Block responds: "Drury wasn't a good fit."
Dr. O'Block taught criminal justice for about 10 years, beginning in the early 1980s, at Appalachian State University in Boone, N.C. But the school dismissed him in May 1991 for allegedly plagiarizing academic articles on such topics as "Crime and Criminal Sentences in Iceland," according to a copy of a letter from the school to Dr. O'Block and school officials.
The plagiarism allegations weren't true, Dr. O'Block says, adding that the school moved against him because he was a whistleblower who "tried to point out inequities in teachers' pay raises and teaching loads."
As for the present, he seems to have the witness-certification business mostly to himself. Legal experts say few, if any, expert-witness groups give out board-certified sheepskin such as the one from Dr. O'Block's group. But some say the Supreme Court decision created a broadening market for what they call "expert-witness warehouses," in which groups of professionals band together to market their expert testimony for a fee. Ads for these warehouses litter the back of legal magazines.

Gary Ross Writing Lance Armstrong Biopic
Posted on Thursday, June 11th, 2009 by Brendon Connelly
According to the Risky Business blog, producer Frank Marhsall has teamed screenwriter Gary Ross with the long-gestating Lance Armstrong biopic. "We knew Gary well from is work on Seabiscuit and thought he'd be perfect for this", said Marshall. Yeah, you know – a man and a horse and a man and a bike. I'm pretty chuffed with this news because, as I'm sure I would have told you before, I'm a big fan of Ross. Can't say I know too much about sporty cycling, though.
The film is to be based upon a 2000 biography, It's Not About the Bike which Armstrong and his co-writer Sally Jenkins jammed full of his life's many interesting stories. Both Matt Damon and Jake Gyllenhaal have reportedly been attached as stars for the lead role, though there's no current casting announced. Rather curiously, though, it seems that some filming for the film took place rather a long time ago…
Speaking to MTV over three years ago, Marshall described how some footage was captured for the film at the 2005 Tour de France:
I was there, and we shot on the last day of his seventh win last summer in Paris. We had six cameras going; it was incredibly exciting.
At that point, Marshall was intending to direct the film as well as produce, and the Risky Business blog reports that is still a possibility.
The steroid abuse allegations that have dogged Armstrong in recent years all postdate the publication of the biography, so they won't be featured in the film. Instead, we will see Armstrong's troubled childhood, his battle against cancer in the 90s and his remarkable cycling career. The sportsman himself is on board as a key collaborator, though Marshall claims to have told him that they won't be pulling any punches:
He's a participant; he wants to be a part of it, and I certainly want to have him there. But I told him, I'm not making a puff piece.
Ross' craftsmanship and imagination is likely to elevate this above prettty much any other man-on-bike film I can think of. Sure, there aren't a huge amount. Belleville Rendezvous, The Flying Scotsman, Breaking Away, Quicksilver, 6 Day Racer… any more?

Psycho (1960 film)
Psycho (wrestler)
Comet Arend–Roland
III District, Turku
III (Maylene and the Sons of Disaster album)
Psycho is a 1960 American psychological thriller-horror film directed by Alfred Hitchcock starring Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, John Gavin, Vera Miles and Martin Balsam. The screenplay by Joseph Stefano was based on the 1959 novel of the same name by Robert Bloch.
The film centers on the encounter between a secretary, Marion Crane (Leigh), who ends up at a secluded motel after embezzling money from her employer, and the motel's disturbed owner-manager, Norman Bates (Perkins), and its aftermath. When originally made, the film was seen as a departure from Hitchcock's previous film North by Northwest, having been filmed on a low budget, with a television crew and in black and white. Psycho initially received mixed reviews, but outstanding box office returns prompted reconsideration which led to overwhelming critical acclaim and four Academy Award nominations, including Best Supporting Actress for Leigh and Best Director for Hitchcock.
Psycho is now considered one of Hitchcock's best films and praised as a work of cinematic art by international film critics and film scholars. Ranked among the greatest films of all time, it set a new level of acceptability for violence, deviant behavior and sexuality in American films, and is widely considered to be the earliest example of the slasher film genre. After Hitchcock's death in 1980, Universal Studios began producing follow-ups: three sequels, a remake, a television film spin-off, and a TV series.

Psycho is a 2013 Telugu thriller film written by Ram Gopal Varma and directed by Kishore Bhargava. The film is touted to be treated with Rogue film making.
Psycho is a Japanese professional wrestler. His real name has not been officially documented, a tradition in Mexican Lucha Libre where masked wrestler's real names often are not a matter of public record. He made his debut in 2001 and has worked under the names of Marines Mask (II) and Gabaiji-chan, but achieved most success as Psycho (stylized in all capital letters). He has wrestled mainly in Kaientai Dojo and All Japan Pro Wrestling, and currently works as a freelance wrestler.

Comet Arend–Roland was discovered on November 8, 1956, by Belgian astronomers Sylvain Arend and Georges Roland on photographic plates. As the eighth comet found in 1956, it was named Arend–Roland 1956h after its discoverers. Because it was the third comet to pass through perihelion during 1957, it was then renamed 1957 III. Finally, it received the standard IAU designation C/1956 R1 (Arend–Roland), with the 'C/' indicating it was a non-periodic comet and the R1 showing it was the first comet reported as discovered in the half-month designated by R. The last is equivalent to the period September 1–15.
In November 1956, a double astrograph at the Uccle Observatory in Brussels was being used for routine investigation of minor planets. On November 8, 1956, the Belgian astronomers Sylvain Arend and Georges Roland discovered a comet on their photographic plates. At that time the comet was at visual magnitude 10, with a strong central condensation and a short tail. The early discovery of this comet allowed observing programs and equipment to be prepared well in advance.

Mobile Suit Gundam (Japanese: 機動戦士ガンダム, Hepburn: Kidō Senshi Gandamu, also known as First Gundam, Gundam 0079 or simply Gundam '79) is a televised anime series, produced by Sunrise. Created and directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino, it premiered in Japan on Nagoya Broadcasting Network and its affiliated ANN stations on April 7, 1979, and lasted until January 26, 1980, spanning 43 episodes. It was the very first Gundam series, which has subsequently been adapted into numerous sequels and spin-offs. Set in the futuristic calendar year "Universal Century" 0079, the plot focuses on the war between the Principality of Zeon and the Earth Federation, with the latter unveiling a new giant robot known as the RX-78-2 Gundam piloted by the teenage civilian mechanic Amuro Ray.
In 1981, the series was re-edited for theatrical release and split into three movies. The characters were designed by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, and Kunio Okawara was responsible for the mechanical designs, including the eponymous giant robot, the RX-78-2 Gundam. The first movie was released on February 22, 1981. Tomino himself also wrote a trilogy of novels that retell the events of the series. Two manga adaptations of the series have also been written by two manga artists.

Having One of These Seven Names Massively Increases your Odds of Being Boss of a Company
18 August, 2015 21 April, 2020
Following on from our research into what puts women off from working in male-dominated industries, new research from Stormline has revealed some depressing trends among the names of the UK's top bosses, they're almost all blokes for a start.
Like a boss – Most common names running top UK firms
Most common boss names UK.
More Andrews than women currently running top UK firms
One third of UK bosses share just seven names
Names with Hebrew, Greek or Latin origins most likely to rise to the top of the career ladder
As the ONS announces its annual list of most popular baby names for 2015 – with Oliver and Amelia coming top for boys and girls respectively – research conducted by us shows that when it comes to bosses in the UK, names matter.
1 in 3 (32%) current bosses at the UK's 50 biggest private and 50 biggest public firms are called either Andrew or Andy, James, John, Peter, Ian, Mark or Marc or Richard.
Women represent just 6% of the total variety of names currently occupying top positions within Britain's biggest 100 firms, with bosses called Alison (Cooper, Imperial Tobacco), Melissa (Potter, Clarks Shoes), Lindsey (Pownall, Samworth Brothers) Theresa (T.J Morris), Anna (Stewart, Laing O'Rourke) and Veronique (Laury, Kingfisher PLC) representing the girls.
So if you've got plans of running one of Britain's biggest companies, it might help if you've got a traditional Hebrew, Greek or Latin name. Your odds will also increase to better than 9/1 if you are a man.
Of the names on display in the 100 top board rooms around the UK, more than half (53%) were one-offs; ranging from a Merlin, Jebb, Nicandro, Zameer and Pascal to Ralph, Jason, Nigel, Norman and Bob.
Want a better job? Change your name to Andrew.

Andrew Witty – CEO, GlaxoSmithKline
Andy Hornby – chief executive, Gala Coral Group
Andy Harrison – CEO, Whitbread
Andy Parker – chief executive Capita
Andy Street – managing director John Lewis
Andy Long – CEO of Pentland Group (the chairman is Andy Rubin)
Andrew Goodsell – CEO, Acromas Holdings (Saga Group & The AA)
Andrew Mackenzie – CEO, BHP Billiton (Andrew went to the University of St. Andrews, obviously).
Zameer (Choudrey, boss of Bestway Group), Jebb (Kitchen, boss of Bibby Line), Merlin (Bingham Swire, boss of Swire Group) and Nicandro (Durante, boss of British American Tobacco) are Stormline's favourite men's names from the list.
Hey, at least these guys are original.
And speaking of bosses, here's Stormline boss Regan (nobody in the top 100 had that name), talking about some of our gear.

About IAKF
Indo-American Kashmir Forum(IAKF)
he Indo-American Kashmir Forum, commonly known as IAKF, was formed in 1991. IAKF represents the socio-political voice of the Kashmiri Pandit community residing in the United States. The Kashmiri Pandits, followers of the Shaivite branch of the Hindu religion, are aboriginal people of the Kashmir valley with nearly 5,000 year history much of which is well documented through archeological discoveries and written records. Following the march of Islam into Kashmir in the 14th Century, the followers of the Hindu faith were reduced to a minority. Repeated intrusions by foreign settlers during the Islamic rule led to further dwindling of Pandit population in Kashmir. By 1947, when the British rule ended in the Indian subcontinent, the Pandits in the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir had been reduced to a miniscule minority. In the post-independence period, even though some Kashmiri Pandits rose to eminence in state and central governments, most Pandits continued to suffer economically and politically resulting in their steady migration from the valley to other parts of the world. By mid-1980's Pandit population in Kashmir was reduced to about 4% of the total population in the valley.
IAKF was created after many expatriate Pandits received reports from their relatives in Kashmir about the growing Islamic insurgency in the state which was turning increasingly violent. Many Kashmiri Pandits were systematically victimized by Islamic terrorists, who were recruited, armed and trained in neighboring Islamic countries. Brutalities against the peaceful Pandit community were exceptionally cruel and lacking adequate safety and protection of the state, they were forced to flee from their homes and hearths. The forced exodus led to internal displacement of over 350,000 Pandits from their ancestral lands. The internally displaced Pandits represent over 95% of their original total population in the valley in 1990.
IAKF took up the cause to inform the world community of the oppression against Kashmiri Pandits that led to their forced exile from Kashmir and about the sad plight of the community members, many of whom are still living in makeshift 'refugee' camps. The poor condition of Pandits who stayed in the valley and did not leave during peak periods of violence is an untold story as they have been denied their social, economic and human rights by a hegemonic majority and the state government that are indifferent to their plight and needs. The U.S. based organization advocates assistance to the miniscule Pandit community in the valley, and seeks the return of displaced Pandits to Kashmir with dignity and honor.
IAKF interacts with the U.S. Administration, the U.S. Congress, think tanks and universities specializing in South Asian affairs, individual policy specialists, and media. IAKF works in conjunction with several different organizations abroad, including its sister organizations, the Indo-Canadian Kashmir Forum (ICKF) and the Indo-European Kashmir Forum (IEKF).

When I signed up for the 2015 Translantau 100km last year, it was because I thought I would make the most of my (then) impending move to Hong Kong and soon-to-be unemployed status. No reason not to with lots of free time and the HK trails!
As my crazy life usually pans out in the opposite direction of my plans, I find myself rocking up to the start of Translantau with far less than the desired training I'd hoped. When I fell last year at the MSIG Lantau 50, I earned 4 stitches and a patellar contusion that required reining back both my enthusiasm (it's just a flesh wound!) and training, and cut short my HK4TUC attempt at 70km in.
A test run at the KOTH Sham Tseng two weeks gone and all seems back on track, so it's all systems go! Coach Andy DuBois and I decided that this should be a training race in light of the 450km Anzac Ultra I'll be attempting at Easter, so that's what I set out to achieve. I figured about 22h would be comfortable enough and set a limit of 25 so I didn't get too laid back. No poles (to build strength), and try to run any flats and descents was the basic plan.
Nearly 6,000m D+ in 100km, nice!
The race starts on Friday night at 11.30pm, which makes for a really long day. I was up early, excited to be racing again and looking forward to the start. It certainly was a real treat to see Paulina back on the trails again, catch up with Markko and Tuuli, Retha getting excited about her first 100km and a whole bunch of other trail mates!
A deluge of selfies, gear discussions and greetings later, we're FINALLY ready to start. The weather is warm and humid, definitely a more welcome option than freezing winds and rain. Despite all the people I know, I find myself alone at the start line, squashed in next to a couple of Filipina racers Jon and Brian. Jon did the UTHK168 last weekend and I remembered him from GNW 2010 so I was in good company! Randomly, I realise I forgot to take off my makeup from being out during the day .. ah well, I'll know if my eyeliner stands up to the ultra test, then!
A bit of a squeeze, some lion dancing to liven the mood, and we're off across the sand! I pick my way through the runners and it's not long before we're starting to ascent to Lo Fu Tau. I haven't done this course before apart from a short recce so I don't really know what's in store. Climbing up was steady enough and it was nice to see Nora at the top making sure we didn't go the wrong way.
Running along, I nearly missed the sharp left into the shiggy bit. A few runners did get lost along here, something easily done as there was just one ribbon which could easily have been mistaken for an indicator to go straight. I liked the next bit, and since it wasn't easy to pass anyone there, it kept my competitive urges at bay and my pace steady enough.
The nutrition plan was to stick to Tailwind the whole way and see how my body reacted. I had my watch on a 10 minute timer, so I was reminded to drink regularly. I had a full 1.5l with me to start (1 scoop per 500ml) and carried a further 18 scoops of assorted flavours for the race. I made it to CP1 Pak Mong in just over 2 hours, felt great and didn't need a refill so I just carried straight on after checking in. My Garmin 920XT is on Ultratrac and even this early on my readings are way off .. it's showing 16km (should be 12) and my average speed will be record breaking if I keep this up!
I'd recce'd the next bit the week before, so I knew it would be a long-ish climb to the top of Sunset Peak. Doing this in the dark with damp to wet conditions and very limited visibility due to mist was actually quite enjoyable. I had my headlamp in my hand as a lower beam made the path clearer, and since you couldn't see more than 5-10m ahead, the only thing left to do was to put one foot in front of the other till you got to the top. Not that cold but windy and wet enough to warrant a windbreaker. Steady down to Pak Kung Au – the steps were a little slippery, and at CP2 in just over 2 hours. There's a spread of food and people look like they're already tucking in at 21km, but all I need is some water, chuck some Tailwind in and I'm off.
The next bit is a runnable descent and then flat catchwater for some kms. My top priority in any race is not to fall over or get lost, and I had to pay attention the whole time so I didn't trip over anything on the trail. Along the catchwater, my long day was taking it's toll. My eyes were closing and I couldn't stay awake so I did a fast walk/shuffle with my eyes closed and hoped I opened them before I got too close to the drain. I desperately wanted to sit down and sleep for 10 minutes! Instead I jogged and let myself 'sleepwalk' for ten counts every time I passed a drain ladder. I did remember suddenly waking up and running along thinking 'this is awesome!', but that didn't last long and Lala Land beckoned again all too soon. Milos passed me somewhere along the way and at long last there's the start of the climb to Ngong Ping. That still wasn't enough to keep me awake and my pace slowed considerably as I considered curling up in a corner somewhere for a snooze.
Somewhere along the way Terence passed me, and I locked on to his yellow Altras to pick up my pace and power up a little to CP3. Same MO, fill up with water, chuck in some Tailwind, and I'm off. I hear Terence say 'Wah, so fast ah!' and wave goodbye as he sips his hot drink. 😉 It's just past 6am now and the sun is coming up, always energising to feel daylight approaching!
I don't remember much on the way to Keung Shan, just that it was nice to be moving again, headlamp off and the humidity was enough to keep me cool without getting too cold. CP 4 at Kau Ling Chung in under 2 hours, all good and not much is hurting. I am discovering that my new Salomon S-Lab 5l pack is nice and light, but feels too big when the bladder starts to deplete. The straps in front have changed a little and don't seem to hold as well as the older version. The cord replacing the plastic attachments is more fiddly, and I keep having to tighten the elastic straps as they tend to loosen after a while. Otherwise, all is good!
Nearly halfway … a small descent before a climb up and over into Tai O. I meet Markko somewhere along the way and we have a pleasant run/hike together, taking the descents steady as out knees are starting to hurt. The run into Tai O seemed to take forever, having to run along the shore before turning into the town and reaching the school. It's starting to hurt, but since it's flat I have no choice but to keep running, as per the training plan. Fai is outside the school gates cheering racers on, and it's nice to have a chat while I refill. I see Singaporean runner Shi Wei sat on one of the benches, and Markko is inside by the food relaying his journey so far to his wife, Tuuli. I fancy something to chew on so I go inside to inspect the food .. Terroir are one of the race sponsors and a slice of French saucisson is my treat for the moment. A slug of coke later, and I'm ready to head out. Fai walks me to the end of the road and I decide to walk first, given the next bit is a long climb to Ngong Ping. My knees, feet and heels are feeling pretty sore by now so I figure I'll take it easier.
Through the village a few speedsters pass me, including Shi Wei who looks energised from his rest at Tai O. The three just ahead of me are putting on their gloves, and I wonder if they're feeling cold … silly me! Sharp right turn up and into the bushes, and it's not long before it dawns on me what the gloves were for … bushwhacking and pulling yourself up the climb! I found the climb great fun, most of the vegetation was over my head so I had no idea where I was going except that it was up! This was the only time I took any pictures, just because I was so tickled with having to bash through the undergrowth! I did pass a few, but more passed me and it was hilarious to see the bushes on the climb above shaking away as the runners made their way through. I run with an older gentleman for a bit and he reckoned I could make in 18 hours. That really got my brain going! The competitive side of me started the furious calculations to see if it was possible before the sensible (and lazier) side stepped in. I would have to work really hard to get in under 18h, and this was a training run, remember!? Stick to the plan! Training run, training run! But I'm still wondering for ages after if sneaking in a sub-20h would be possible. It takes me 3 hours to get to CP6 at Ngong Ping again, and my spirits are great. Water, Tailwind and a handful of cashew nuts this time.
Can you see the trail behind me? Heading towards Ngong Ping.
Nice shiggy bits, still climbing!
The Beast wanted to meet me at Ngong Ping and accompany me on the climb to Lantau Peak, but he's stuck in Tung Chung and with no taxis, cable car closed and a crazy queue for the bus. I say I'll meet him at Pak Kung Au instead and head up towards Lantau. The big steps towards Lantau are wet and slippery, and there's a surprising number of hikers coming the other way. Visibility is terrible so it's just a case of one foot in front of another. I find a rhythm and I get to the top quicker than I expect. It's the coming down that took a while .. slippery rock and a tendency to trip over my own feet are not a fortuitous combination! It's not cold and my arm warmers are doing a great job of regulating temperature from the wind chill.
Finally got out of the bushes!
Another quick refill at Pak Kung Au CP7, three yellow M&Ms and we're off! It's like a big party at the CP as the 50km runners are just coming down Sunset Peak and joining the 100km route. There's a lot more people on the course now and it's nice to have The Beast for company, and Nora appears along the way for a short jog before turning round off in search of other people to egg on. I'm going well here and picking up the pace, and The Beast heads off to Mui Wo soon after.
The journey to Chi Ma Wan is hilly but uneventful, and just under 2 hours seemed like forever to get there. I'm really tired now and it all seems like hard going … not really looking forward to 450km next month right now! I meet Markko along the way again (he passed me earlier), and we take a few minutes to sit down at CP8. I clear the debris from my shoes and put a good slathering of Gurney Goo on my feet. I don't have any blisters, but the two callus points on my big toes have softened from reduced mileage and felt like they might blister up. Better safe than sorry, and any excuse for a quick rest! Also my Experia socks with Thorlo pads were annoying me. The heel and forefoot pads were a little too bulky and made me feel like there was something in my shoe. Good trials for Anzac Ultra next month, at least I know which socks I won't be wearing. I only wore them because I liked the purple colour!
Headlamp ready, batteries changed, water with Tailwind and I'm off again. The climb to Lo Yan Shan is slow but steady, and coming down the other side is quite a lot of fun. Someone tags on behind me, and follows my pace for quite a while. I don't turn round to look for fear of tripping over, but he's one of the 50km runners. I'm doing well till I start to tire and decide to fast walk instead. I'm feeling grumpy and realise I really need a pee again. But there are too many people on the trail now, there's no stopping anywhere and I'm still a good distance away from Shap Long. Not that my Garmin could tell me .. I'm already on 106km and counting on the damn thing. This goes on for a while and all my attempts to find a hidden spot are thwarted by the fact that headlamps are now on and I'd be rumbled in no time! I try jogging, worse! Back to a fast, grumpy walk then, and loads of runners pass me. Bei comes towards me and cheers me on but I'm just a big grouch. It's nearly an hour walking cross-legged and bug-eyed before there's a suitable place to hide .. and as I turn off my headlamp, a couple of runners behind me do so and then follow me off the trail before I can explain. Great, I might as well announce to the whole of Lantau that I'm stopping to pee. FINALLY.
I can run again. The relief is indescribable and I'm off to make up for all that walking. And NO MORE DRINKING. Well, maybe just a little. Running down into Shap Long, I catch up most of the people who'd passed me earlier. There was a female 100km runner who'd overtaken me and I wanted to catch her if I could. I found her just before we go to Shap Long, and dropped her soon after. 2h 41 mins to get to Shap Long CP9 .. time to see if I took John's advice to save something for the last 'runnable' bit!
The last 5kms were decidedly fun. I had plenty of energy and my knees were a little sore but everything else felt just fine. I passed people as I picked up speed and was delighted to see Mui Wo come into view. Nearly done! I pass Markko again on the way, and he's taking it steady on the descents. I can't wait to get to the finish but keep a mantra of 'lift, lift, lift' so that I remember to lift my feet and not trip over anything. It'd be typical of me to have an almighty crash just before the finish!
Down the stairs, into Mui Wo, and I see Tuuli waiting on the corner. I shout that Markko is not far behind and head for the beach. It's lovely running in the town again, on flat ground (lift, lift, lift), and knowing the finish line is mere minutes away. Past the ferry terminal, the cooked food market and over the bridge. At Silvermine Resort I hear my name being shouted (thanks Chico, Kee Seng, Tira, etc!) and I can see a couple of runners ahead. I recognise one as another female 100km runner who passed me in the early stages of the race. There's nothing for it, give it some beans and try to move up a place. Let's see what I've got left!
As it turns out, more than enough. It was great fun opening my stride and feeling strong, I did encourage her as I went past but hoped I wasn't being cocky. The last bit on the sand wasn't one of my most sure-footed moments, but coming under the finish line with the drums beating and friends cheering was brilliant. Total time taken? 21:14:19. 2nd Senior Women (moving into a new age category might not be a bad thing!), 10 scoops of Tailwind, and far more climbing than I expected!
Huge thanks to Nic for the delicious Coke, and Nora for sorting out my finish certificate. Hats off to Clement and Sabrina for a very enjoyable race and great course, I had a great time out there and met lots of lovely people! Huge respect to everyone out there on the course, the pointy end of the field made it look easy, and the ones who milked every last minute out of the event are real troopers for battling fatigue and injury to finish what they started. And for those who didn't finish, there's no failure in that. Valuable lessons are learnt every step of the way, and as long as you leave wiser than when you started, you're finishing on top.
I would have liked to stay till the end, but I needed to make the 10.40 ferry and was feeling more than a little tired. By my count, I'd now been awake for over 40 hours. I was out like a light on the ferry, and on the taxi home, and then promptly woke up at 7am the next morning starving and ready for church!
No regrets not having my poles, I just need to get stronger on the climbs and better on the descents. My Hoka Huaka felt good, much improved with the soon-to-be-launched Freelace (the name might change, don't hold me to this!). Tailwind? Brilliant. But I'll need to adjust as the situation demands. And I need treats. Next time I'll have a few treats with me just to combat the boredom or fatigue and get me going a little further or faster. And since it felt like I was deing ambushed by floodlights most of the night sections, I think I'll look into getting a brighter headlamp. I love my little Black Diamond Storm (160 lumens), it's waterproof and does well when I'm on my own, but pales in comparison to some of the portable floodlights the runners at TransLantau seemed to have. The brighter the light, the less chance of falling asleep .. any suggestions?
Clio's Kill Black eyeliner passes the ultra test!

You understand that you are the one that is continually twisting and giving up on the relationship. That your accomplice is never the one to give by any means. In the event that it is forever their way, and never a trade-off that makes each of you glad, the time has come to discover a relationship where you are dealt with as an equivalent.
Regardless of whether it is grinding away or in your relationship, in the event that you feel hushed and that you are in a circumstance where your assessment either does not make a difference or isn't permitted to be communicated, you have to push ahead.
You ought to never feel that you don't have a voice and you ought to never remain in a circumstance where you are not permitted to have one.
Regardless of how often your supervisor or your accomplice rolls out you a guarantee to improvement, or that your part will transform, it never does. They never complete or keep their work.
Their necessities to come to a point where that's it and you admit to yourself that nothing will change unless you roll out them an improvement. Roll out that improvement leaving and beginning new.
In the event that you are made a request to conflict with your qualities and convictions, or if the individual has no thought for how much that issues to you, at that point they don't regard you. Be with somebody or be in a circumstance where you are permitted to gladly be your identity and aren't made a request to change what you accept to get them going.
I used to see this a great deal of substance mishandle and used to give this counsel. Individuals needed to be reclaimed and excused following quite a while of lying and irregularities. They have to comprehend that individuals can just stick it out so long when their words don't coordinate their activities. On the off chance that you are in a circumstance like this, their requirements to come to a point where you proceed onward to a circumstance where somebody is straightforward and consistent with you.
We as a whole have pasts and we as a whole have reasons that we are how we are, yet there is where it can cross a line. When somebody is needy to the point that they don't believe you, that they distance you from your loved ones, and that they require you to feel their every need, it turns into a circumstance that isn't sound for you. You can't be everything to everybody. Get some time, space, and point of view while they take a shot at themselves.


Git usually hangs at "resolving deltas" and installing dependencies with composer takes way longer then it should and compared with running the same command on ubuntu, there is a very big difference in completion time.
For me the solution was to add the –prefer-dist option to composer, this makes it so that composer downloads compressed tarballs instead of checking out the code. Composer now completes in less then 30 seconds on Debian, before it was taking more like 30 minutes.
You may need to delete the contents of your vendor directory before running this command.

Noah's Ark Theme Park Can Hire Based on Religious Beliefs, Judge Rules
By Ephrat Livni, Esq. on January 27, 2016 12:59 PM
In a battle between two important American principles -- religious freedom and separation of church and state -- our prime directive prevailed. A Kentucky judge concluded this week that a religious theme park cannot be denied government tax incentives if it restricts hiring to fundamentalist Christians because the Noah's Ark park serves a plainly secular purpose -- profit.
Answers In Genesis, "a non-denominational group, which believes in creationism and runs the Creation Museum," sued Kentucky when it withdrew tax incentives for fear the park would hire only fundamentalist Christians, according to Reuters. But U.S. District Judge Gregory Van Tatenhove wrote in an opinion issued Monday that while the group is "clearly a religious organization," religious tourist destinations nonetheless serve the state's "secular" goal of increasing local revenue.
Plainly Secular Purpose
Answers In Genesis is planning a Noah's Ark theme park around a 510-foot replica of the biblical ark, and the project has reportedly been controversial. The replica will be used to tell the biblical tale of Noah who, as the story in the Old Testament goes, built an ark and took two of each kind of animal on it while God flooded the world.
Developers argued that the tax incentives denied by the state will help to fund other projects that would, similarly, tell bible stories. The ark project has cost $92 million and the park is expected to open in July.
Judge Tatenhove wrote in his opinion released Monday, "Bringing non-residents into Kentucky who will spend money on food, lodging, gas, and tourist attractions will increase revenues and benefit the state's economy through jobs and spending. Such a purpose is plainly secular."
Answers In Genesis Reacts
Answers In Genesis was pleased with Judge Tatenhove's decision, calling it a victory for the free exercise of religion in this country . "The law is crystal clear that the state cannot discriminate against a Christian group simply because of its viewpoint, but that is precisely what happened here," the group's president, Ken Ham, said in a statement.
Suspicious Timing?
Kentucky's new governor, Matt Bevin, said to have been elected with the strong support of Christian conservatives, also expressed satisfaction with the outcome. His spokesperson, Jessica Ditto, told reporters, ""We are pleased the Court has ruled in favor of the Ark project. This Administration does not support discrimination against any worthy economic development projects."
Hiring Questions
If you have questions about discriminatory hiring practices, or any other aspect of business operations, speak to a lawyer. Consult with counsel and get guidance on what you can do to stay within the law.

To meet the top-level production and musicianship standards of the trailblazing tech-death record label The Artisan Era, you have to be more than just an average death metal band. Good for Chicago-based tour de force Warforged then that this is well and truly the case with their music. In fact, one could say that it was only a matter of time. Warforged have officially announced their signing with The Artisan Era, and their next record is set to be the band's best work yet.
Warforged made their mark back in 2014 with their stunning debut EP Essence of the Land. It consisted of four seamlessly interwoven tracks of jaw-breaking technical heaviness, with some fleeting melodic pauses for thought. The EP was closely followed in 2015 by a follow-up single titled Two Demons. Just to whet our appetites, the band have released a brand new playthrough of one of these earlier tracks, "Regurgitate".
The only possible negative listeners could have drawn from Warforged's blistering musical archive was its overall shortness in runtime. Those same listeners can now put their time-based anxieties to rest. The band's first release under The Artisan Era banner, titled I: Voice, will be a nine tracks large, 73 minute full-length album. Not only that, but it will follow up thematically from where Essence of the Land left off. It seems then that their new label will nurture the best traits of Warforged whilst implementing their reputable immaculate production standards. Let's hope that the next teaser isn't too far into the future.
I: Voice will be released sometime in 2019. To hear Warforged's story so far, check out their earlier stuff on their Spotify and Bandcamp pages. For all the latest news and tour info, visit their Facebook page.

There is no transparency on political parties' election spending
The patterns of election campaigns this year have given rise to consternation that corruption levels could be on the rise with numerous candidates of questionable backgrounds and vested interests "buying" tickets by financing party campaigns and sending electoral spending through the roof.
The Election Commission has proven largely toothless in curbing such activities, (due to resource constraints, among others) and political leaders have done little to curb expenses.
Mukul Humagain spoke with the President of Transparency International Nepal and senior advocate Shree Hari Aryal about the reason behind the ballooning campaign costs and the grave consequences Nepali democracy would face if they are not curbed.
As the President of Transparency International Nepal, you've been a key player in monitoring corruption in the country. Now there are reports that huge amounts of money are being thrown behind candidates and parties. If these campaigns are financed by various interest groups, according to this reasoning, they will extract their share of returns once their candidates are elected.
Indeed, millions of rupees have been spent on election campaigns. The fact that provincial assembly and federal parliamentary elections are being held at the same time, albeit in two different phases, has meant that the spending is less than it would have been if they were held separately.
But regardless, the spending levels are still unprecedented. In the current scenario, political parties need money to function and they need money to appease their cadres and to win votes. They no longer rely on their ideologies alone to win them constituencies.
The Election Commission (EC) has set ceilings for electoral spending and they have also stated that parties must identify a valid source of their funds. Yet they have been summarily ignored. There is no transparency or accountability regarding the money used for campaigns.
And because there is no way to enforce the EC's mandate, both the ceilings and the call for transparency have proven to be completely toothless.
Nepal is suffering from policy corruption, where our constitutional mandates and various rules and regulations are not being enforced to the degree necessary.
To what extent are political parties to blame for such corruption? What has fuelled these fraudulent practices?
Transparency International conducted a world-wide survey and calculated the corruption levels of 175 countries around the globe. Nepal was pegged as the 131st least corrupt nation.
Transparency International also stated that 70 percent of the political parties in Nepal are involved in corrupt practices. It is because of these overwhelming levels of corruption that the state of our country has been sorely compromised. Our constitution states that political parties should promote democratic practices, both within the parties as well as in running the state.
But it is obvious that political parties do not follow this constitutional mandate; none are truly democratic. The reason behind this lack of democracy is corruption.
We have had the same political leaders at the helm for decades now. They refuse to relinquish their power. Names like Sher Bahadur Deuba and KP Oli have featured in Nepal's political landscape for a long time, and yet they refuse to let others have a shot at state leadership.
Nepal is stuck with the same old faces. By now, the public are well aware of the behavioural characteristics of the tired-old political leaders, but because they do not have better alternatives, they believe that their vote has to go to the same timeworn parties.
Now, political parties need to redefine themselves. They have to practice democracy, both within their parties as well as in state dealings. If they promote such a change, developments will arise.
Campaign expenses are steadily increasing. Given that the periodic elections are repeated every five years, there is a justifiable fear that this spending could spiral out of control. How can this be managed better?
By setting a ceiling of Rs2.5million for federal polls and Rs1.5million for provincial polls as per the Election Code of Conduct, the EC set themselves up for failure and lost considerable credibility.
The EC was well aware that the levels of spending by parties and candidates would be higher than the ceilings it set, and it also was aware that it in no way could enforce the spending limits.
This particular move by the EC was not well thought out and only proved detrimental to the credibility of the commission. Instead, they should have aimed for a goal that was more within their reach.
For example, they could have put a limit on the amount of electoral materials—pamphlets, posters, etc.—that political parties disseminated. Such a move would have been much more achievable.
Numerous 'dons', 20 business contractors, 10 candidates from the lucrative education sector, and one billionaire with extensive business holding are contesting the current elections. There is widespread fear that the new elected bodies will see further erosion of value-based politics and could even lead to direct of conflicts of interest.
There will definitely be possibilities of conflicts of interest. The EC should have enacted measures to make sure such issues would not arise. The EC needs to state that any and all candidates running for elections should provide their detailed background.
Thorough background checks should be conducted and the business history of candidates should be studied. Business interests have to be identified to make sure that conflicts of interest do not arise.
If these checks reveal that certain candidates do have vested interests in specific areas, they should be prohibited from sitting in committees that address these areas. Candidates should also understand the reason behind such a move, and excuse themselves from participation in such cases.
Those people you mentioned above who are contesting the elections are essentially paying for their tickets. They are funding campaigns because they see that they can benefit if elected to power.
Funding campaigns will ultimately pay off for them. Political parties are complicit to this exchange, because of which they will be bound to these candidates. Those who are deserving of the candidacy as a result of their moral character are not given tickets to run because they do not have the money to pay for it.
Instead, gangsters have been chosen. In such a condition, how can we expect corruption to be stemmed? It has gotten to the stage where people who are morally upright are refusing to participate in the elections and choose to stay away because they believe politics is dirty.
'Even new parties seem less inclined to embrace people's agenda'
'The President's return to active politics is unthinkable'
'We have failed to build pressure on transitional justice'
'The Chinese are serious about cross-border railway'
'I contested parliamentary party leadership to keep Congress alive'
'Inflation will remain high in the foreseeable future'

Pride of Southern Utah is hosting its 2021 Pride Season over two weekends this year
Elle Cabrera
St. George Spectrum & Daily News
Pride of Southern Utah is planning on hosting its Pride Season in September as usual, but it may look a bit different than in previous years.
Instead of having a full week of Pride-related events this year, they will be having some events on the weekends of the 10th and 24th in September, according to Pride of Southern Utah Director of Programming and Education Katie Perkins said.
All events will be held outside and masks are encouraged, but will not be required.
The community Drag Show and Family Night are among the few events Pride of Southern Utah has decided to keep from its previous celebrations.
Although Pride celebrations will continue during the pandemic, the original plans for this year's Pride have changed to make sure the public stays safe due to the COVID-19 Delta variant, Perkins said.
"This year there is no festival because we can't in good conscience have thousands of people gathered together because of COVID and the Delta variant," Perkins said.
Project Rainbow will also begin in September, where those who purchase Pride flags can have them delivered to their door.
Already 150 people have signed up in Washington County, only 30 less than the total number of flags ordered last year. Perkins is anticipating around 200 flags to be ordered this year for Project Rainbow.
The events for this year's "Pride Season" are still being hashed out however if you'd like to volunteer or order a Pride flag, visit facebook.com/DiscoverPride to watch for updates.

What Causes a Low Blood Count in Men?
By Staff WriterLast Updated Mar 27, 2020 2:44:34 PM ET
A low blood count in men is most commonly caused by iron deficiency anemia from chronic occult bleeding. Other causes of iron deficiency anemia include intravascular hemolysis, vitamin C deficiency, as well as an increase in iron demand or decreased iron absorption, explains The Merck Manual Professional Edition.
Low blood count is a term used by doctors to describe anemia, explains eMedicineHealth. Anemia can develop in people whose diets lack certain vitamins, such as vitamin B-12. It can also occur as a result of poor nutrient absorption in Crohn's disease and celiac disease, according to Mayo Clinic.
Menstruation is an important cause of anemia in premenopausal women because it can lead extensive blood loss. Pregnancy can cause iron deficiency anemia because of an increased iron demand by the baby. Chronic diseases, such as kidney failure, HIV and rheumatoid arthritis, can interfere with red blood cell production and decrease blood counts, explains Mayo Clinic.
Certain types anemia are inherited, including sickle-cell disease, thalassemia, congenital pernicious anemia, Fanconi anemia, hereditary spherocytosis and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, explains Everyday Health.
Common symptoms of anemia include fatigue, decreased energy, weakness, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, heart palpitations and a pale skin color. Severe anemia can cause chest pain, dizziness, fainting, increased heart rate and heart attack, explains eMedicineHealth.

Super Family C 2000 | Clinicians
Super Family C 2000
Provides calcium ascorbate threonate, an esterified Vitamin C, which metabolises to provide 24-hour immune support.
Why use Super Family C 2000?
A great family vitamin C for immune and antioxidant support
To support circulatory health
Allergen support and healthy airways

Super Family C contains calcium ascorbate threonate that is well tolerated and absorbed by the digestive system and supports the immune cells over 24 hours for round-the-clock protection. The citrus bioflavonoids help strengthen mast cells to support inflammatory chemicals being released, helping the response to allergens. They also help tone vein and arterial walls for healthy circulation.
Each 5g (approximately 1 rounded 5ml measuring spoon) contains:
Calcium ascorbate threonate complex (equiv Calcium 99mg) 1000 mg
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) 750 mg
Vitamin C (from sodium ascorbate) (equiv Sodium 33mg) 250 mg
Vitamin B2 (as riboflavin) 7 mg

Mix with juice, water or fluid.
N.B. daily recommendation for children can be taken in divided measures during the day to avoid any potential changes in bowel motility.
Precautions and contraindications
Vitamin C is generally well tolerated at the recommended levels. In some sensitive individuals, bowel looseness may occur as a result of high intake. Vitamin C should only be taken with medical supervision by people with erythrocyte glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, haemochromatosis, thalassaemia or sideroblastic anaemia.
Considered suitable for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. According to the U.S. National Institute of Health, the maximum permissible daily amount for pregnant and lactating women aged 19 years and over is 2000mg per day.
Vitamin C is generally well tolerated at the recommended amounts. In some individuals, loose stools may occur as a result of high intake. This response is thought to reflect a tissue saturation of Vitamin C and is a transient symptom that dissipates soon after reducing or stopping supplementation. As a general rule, the body is able to ingest significantly higher amounts of Vitamin C during times of illness or stress.
What's the difference between 'Super Family C 2000' and 'Hi-Dose Vit C'?
Hi Dose Vitamin C (available in 3 sizes) is more concentrated; 3550mg per tsp, and is an excellent choice when mega doses of vitamin C are required, e.g. when unwell or stressed. It contains two forms of vitamin C; sodium ascorbate and ascorbic acid.
Family C 2000 contains esterified vitamin C [calcium ascorbate threonate], which metabolises slowly (over a 24hr period), and is well-tolerated digestively. This product contains quite a high dose of vitamin C but is only 2000mg per tsp, in comparison to Hi-Dose's 3550mg per tsp. This product also contains additional bioflavonoids, which supports circulatory health, antioxidant support - as well as aiding vitamin C's bioavailability.
Think of Clinician's 'Super Family C' as more of your everyday 'health maintenance' for the whole family,... and 'Hi Dose' for when you're unwell or needing some extra health and immune support - (it's a medicine cupboard essential!)
