It is that time of the year again when many of us make our New Year's resolutions. If your resolution this year is to lose some weight, get in shape, or to tackle your health, nutrition, or fitness goals, then I encourage you to look at it in a new way!
Instead of worrying about the numbers on the scale, what if we focus on our health first?
What if you could heal your digestive problems, clear brain fog, lift the clouds of anxiety and depression, decrease inflammation and pain, improve or reverse the chronic disease that you have been dealing with for years, and regain your energy back?
Food is medicine. What we put into our mouth directly affects our energy levels, our vitality, our longevity, and our overall quality of life. The kind of foods we eat plays a critical role in how we feel and how our bodies function. So instead of making your food choices in terms of just calories, I encourage you to look at food as a source of varied nutrients and a powerful tool against chronic diseases!
If you have been frustrated with different diets without much success, remember it is a lifestyle change, NOT a crash "diet" that gives you sustained results. As a matter of fact, most new diets only last a few weeks and trying to do too much too quickly is a recipe for failure. It's taken years to get to where you are with your weight or a health issues, you're NOT going to fix them in a matter of a few weeks.
Instead of making several drastic changes all at once, choose to overcome one behavioral change at a time. And in the process, remember to be kind to yourself! Nourish your body with the "whole" foods that are healing, instead of restricting calories and relying on numbers or rules.
Wishing all of you happy and healthy 2019!
The beauty industry is a multi-billion dollar industry as people spend tons of money on beauty products to look younger, radiant, and beautiful. I get asked on a frequent basis, "which cream/lotion/shampoo do you recommend for radiant skin, shiny hair, and strong nails." The truth is that glowing skin, glossy hair, and strong nails don't just come from bottles or jars. Most lotions and potions that claim to make you look years younger are oftentimes loaded with harsh chemicals and hormones, that eventually make it into the body causing hormone dysregulation and negative health outcomes. Many of those over-the-counter products especially those that say "wrinkle-free", "wrinkle-removing", "face lift in a bottle", "going to look beautiful forever" kinds of creams – almost all of those have some type of hormone in them.
When it comes to beauty, most people think of it as something separate from health. Our skin, hair, and nails are connected to our bodies – whatever is good for our bodies is also good for beauty. We have to nourish our skin, hair, and nails from within, with a diet rich in beauty supportive nutrients from whole foods.
Which nutrients are needed for beautiful skin, hair, and nails?
These 8 foods are full of radiance-boosting vitamins and minerals that help maintain healthy skin, hair, and nails, as well as reverse or slow the signs of early aging.
High in vitamin C and K, this super-food can help with uneven skin tone as well as help dark under eye circles, both when consume internally and applied topically.
Vegetables in this class such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, brussel sprouts, and bok choy promote liver detoxification, resulting in bright radiant skin as well as help with dark circles and under eye bags.
High in zinc and copper, this super food helps develop collagen and elastin to keep skin supple and firm. Copper also promotes production of hyaluronic acid, a fluid that makes skin look fuller and plumper. Zinc in pumpkin seeds help strengthen hair and nails and help with premature hair loss.
Rich in compounds called fucoxanthins, protects the skin from early aging, and prevents wrinkle formation. Seaweed is also rich in minerals that encourage hair and nails growth.
Contains salica, a trace mineral that keeps hair and nails strong. It also improves skin elasticity and protects the skin from oxidative damage.
Beef liver has one of the highest levels of vitamin A and biotin. Vitamin A is an antioxidant essential for skin health, and deficiency in which can cause poor complexion, acne, and large pores. Biotin helps improve skin appearance because it plays a major part in maintaining the health of our hair, nails and skin.
Rich in collagen, a primary building block for skin, and gelatin, important for the process of renewing skin cells, this food can help with wrinkles, sun damage, stretch marks, saggy skin, fine lines and other signs of aging.
Your hair, skin, and nails are a reflection of your inner health and wellness. Aside from lifestyle and genetics, what you eat and drink plays a critical role in the health of your hair, skin, and nails. Instead of applying expensive topical products on your skin, it would be more effective to first address the root cause of your symptoms. The best-kept secrets to beauty are not in a beauty shop or a makeup store – they are sitting right there in your kitchen!
Do you use antiperspirant/deodorant on daily basis? Most people would say "yes". Of course, you don't want to smell like onions, and garlic – which is pretty understandable! What most people don't realize that in an attempt to smell fresh and adhere to social norms, they are subjecting themselves to unwanted harm! This seemingly safe daily routine can have serious health consequences.
Did you know that most underarm antiperspirants/deodorants contain harmful chemicals which are linked to wide range of health problems including, hormonal imbalance, breast cancer, and Alzheimer's? What you apply on top of your skin makes its way into your body. Especially when you wax or shave underarms, applying a product containing these harmful chemicals to that broken skin could be a bad news!
Majority of deodorants found at your local pharmacy or health and beauty stores have harmful ingredients that we must avoid. Here are the 5 harmful ingredients in your deodorant that you should avoid.
Parabens are commonly used as a preservative to prevent bacteria growth in cosmetic products. Parabens act as hormone disruptor in the body and have been linked to breast cancer and reproductive issues.
Aluminum compounds are used in the antiperspirant to clog pores and prevent sweating. Some research has suggested that these aluminum compounds get absorbed through the skin and increase a risk of estrogen dependent cancers.
An antibacterial agent which kills bad as well as good bacteria. Triclosan is a pesticide and a potentially carcinogen and is linked with host of health problems including skin irritation, resistant infections, as well as cancer.
With daily use, this neurotoxin can accumulate and potentially cause damage to liver, kidneys, and central nervous system.
Triethanolamine (TEA) and diethanolamine (DEA) are known toxins and carcinogen that are banned in other parts of the world. These chemicals can get absorbed into the body and adversely affect your liver and kidneys.
What are the other safe and effective options?
This deodorant is made from crystallized natural mineral salts which kill odor causing bacteria and contains no harmful chemicals, oils, perfumes, or emulsifiers. This product is unscented, hypoallergenic, and works for solid 8 hours!
Another great and simple DIY trick I have found extremely effective is the mixture of apple cider vinegar (ACV) and water. Mix ACV with water in equal ratio in a spray bottle. Spray the solution on a cotton ball and wipe underarms. This solution completely eliminates body odor and keeps armpits odor free for 24 hours!
For those of you who sweat profusely and suffer with a strong body odor should try this mask once a week.
1 tbsp Bentonite clay or fuller's earth, 1 tsp ACV, 2 drops of tea tree oil, and sufficient water to make a thick paste. Apply the paste underarms, let it dry for about 15-20 minutes, and wash off with water. This mask is extremely effective is controlling the excessive sweating and keeping the body odor at bay.
Your daily personal care and hygiene routine doesn't have to take a toll on your health. And it certainly doesn't have to be complicated, expensive, or difficult. There are plenty of options available to make your life easier and your health better!
Once upon a blogpost, our writers ripped the mask of a silent medical enemy and dragged its face into the unflattering limelight. We acquainted you with adrenal fatigue.
Perhaps you encountered that name in fleeting conversation, or while flitting from the doctor's office to your car—someone you know is battling this enemy and you're wondering how they're doing it. You're wondering, does adrenal fatigue even exist? Or is it some hyperbolic form of laziness and unrestrained gluttony draped as a diagnosable health condition? Adrenal fatigue is, in actuality, much more than a mediocre lifestyle; it's when our adrenal glands crash and collapse beneath ongoing, compounding stressors, compromising our body's healthy production of stress-fighting hormones; it's when the good guys lose to the bad guys and we're left catching our breath behind the darkest alleys of life.
Adrenal fatigue is real and it's not pretty.
So why don't several medical doctors recognize adrenal fatigue as a serious diagnosis?
What is the best way to test for Adrenal fatigue?
What is superior to blood tests, measures your cortisol levels several times a day, and is often accompanied by a "stick out your tongue and say ahh"?
Saliva tests. The results from these tests are like a log mapping your 24-hour hormone-secretion cycle. The functional and integrative medicine practitioners who make use of these tests collect your spit in vials at four points during the day to track your cell tissues' hormone levels, enabling them to correlate your physical symptoms with medical data. More accuracy and no finger pricks required—how's that for a medical hack?
How do you reverse fatigue and restore adrenal function?
Eliminate or minimize toxicity in your relationships.
Resolve ongoing conflicts with the people in your life whom you love.
Kindly set boundaries with negative/angry family members whose company is inevitable.
Unfollow and/or unfriend accounts on your social media feeds whose messages, attitudes, and comments serve no purpose but to spread negativity.
Build your social circle with kind, caring, and respectful individuals (even if that means making new friends!).
#2 Clock in some beauty sleep!
Commit to a relaxing activity before bed (yoga, meditation, praying, and stretching all help quiet your mind and prime your body for a good night's rest).
Keep your coffee and caffeinated tea breaks before 2 p.m.; anything after will disrupt your body's circadian rhythm.
#3 Healing foods for your body and soul.
Eat small meals often. Symptoms of adrenal fatigue spike when patients skip a meal or forgo eating for an extended number of hours.
Decorate your plate with rainbow-colored food for optimal nutrition. When planning your meals, alternate between a variety of lean protein (mostly plant-based with the occasional sustainably-sourced meat), complex carbs with a low glycemic index (quinoa, brown rice, potato medleys, whole wheat, beans, and legumes—all of which keep your blood sugar levels steady and release a constant flow of energy), healthy fats (avocados, olives/olive oil, nuts and seeds), and organic produce.
Consume more salt. Fatigued adrenal glands trigger low sodium levels and low aldosterone production, leaving patients craving salt like it's nobody's business. So eat salty! Don't worry about the risk of high blood pressure; that doesn't apply with adrenal fatigue (but feel free to wear a blood pressure monitor for good measure). If anything, an extra dash of salt on every dish is both essential and therapeutic to your adrenal recovery.
If adrenal fatigue is your current reality, know this: restoring your adrenal glands won't happen overnight, just as they didn't crash overnight. Be patient when making these changes; lifestyle medicine takes time. The feelings of rejuvenation, a good night's sleep, and endless motivation to tackle your biggest, wildest dreams are just around the corner. As always, we're rooting for you along the way.

Every so often, one of us encounters an enemy that locks us into complete paralysis. E-mail messages go unchecked, laundry stacks to the height of Everest, and personal relationships shrivel like leaves beneath a merciless breeze. It's a silent enemy, leaving behind no physical side effects (except many empty coffee cups and energy drinks to help you reach Bare Minimum Adult Functionality). Your doctor assures you that all of your lab results are normal; medically, there's nothing wrong with you. But you know, from the bottom of your tired and weary heart, that something is wrong… Your sinuses are flaring on a cool winter day (but doctor, I don't even have allergies). Out of nowhere, pickles, Saltine crackers, and sushi rolls doused in soy sauce surge to your Top Three Foods list (what is happening to my taste buds?!). There's something else disrupting your groove: bathroom breaks, which are inconveniently happening every hour (c'mon doc, what digs?).
This story, like all medical stories, begins with a tragedy. Somewhere in your body, an ecosystem of organs and parts suffers an imbalance that leaves its members malfunctioning. The ecosystem in today's conversation is the adrenal glands. Perched above your kidneys are these small glands whose sole purpose of existence is to produce hormones: cortisol, your body's built-in alarm system and blood-pressure-regulator; adrenaline, your body's boxing gloves and running shoes in high stress situations; aldosterone, your body's traffic control center for sodium, potassium, and blood flow. Each of these hormones, as well as many others, is essential to your functioning and critical for your survival. And when their production is compromised, you're left depleted and depressed, hobbling through life's lowest hurdles like an injured race horse. Little tasks, like meeting a work deadline or paying your bills on time, become monstrous pressures. In layman terms, you're burnt out.
Coping and responding to life's stressors is easier when your adrenal glands are functioning at full capacity. They begin to fatigue, however, when that stress continues chronically and compactfully, giving you no room to rest. Picture this scenario: you came down with a case of bronchitis that eventually evolved into pneumonia. As you're driving to your next doctor's appointment, you're rear-ended in highway traffic and spend what should be your recovery time making a police statement, calling your insurance agent, and visiting the auto repair shop for a claim estimate. You trudge along, coughing into your shirt sleeve, wondering what other misfortune is looming on the horizon. These are just the foreground events, major plot twists in the tragedy of your life; the background noise discloses a second layer of drama: a stressful job, an unhappy marriage, ongoing sleep deprivation, poor eating habits, failing friendships, and the loneliness that often accompanies middle age. Your adrenal glands struggle to catch up with these stressors, no matter how much more hormones they produce. Like yourself, they burn out and are no longer able to meet the body's demands.
Perhaps our lives aren't simply a string of tragedies. Perhaps we are healthy and well in our pursuit of a good life. There is no denying, however, that even the healthiest and happiest of us are products of the 21st century Western lifestyle. In our frittered good will, we pack our schedules with long work hours (we need the money) and graduate school (what's a bachelor's degree worth now, anyway?) and family obligations (let me just swing by my sister's; I haven't seen my nieces and nephews in weeks) and parenting (my daughter needs to be in sports and piano lessons, just like everyone else her age) and volunteering (gotta give back to the community!) and so-and-so's dinner and so-and-so's son's birthday party and so-and-so's social justice awareness event… "Chipotle for dinner okay with everyone?" you ask from the driver's seat, remembering that you haven't cooked for the fifth day in a row.
We are all chained to demands far beyond our capacity, and unfortunately, the very system designed to handle these demands suffers as a consequence. With too much unmanaged stress, our hormone-producing glands clash and we suffer from adrenal fatigue.
So why do many doctors refuse to recognize adrenal fatigue as a real problem?
That is a question for next week's blog! When the conversation continues… Read Part II here.
There is a new food superpower in our midst, and it has gained ranking for its superb antioxidant properties: Chaga mushrooms. With a mix of charcoal and gold hues, these mushrooms slag and sprawl like infected meteorites on the backs of dead birch trees. They are powerful, parasitic, and (almost) as promising as Wakanda's Vibranium.
…except you can't make an epic suit out of it. But with the innate properties of Chaga mushrooms, you won't need to. Research shows that this fungus contains promising health benefits for people of all ages. Its high antioxidant content makes it superior to its line of competitors, such as blueberries, pomegranates, acai, and their likes.
I'm going to get a bit personal now. Although I'm a pharmacist and functional medicine practitioner, I, too, like to live life on the edge. I indulged in some reading recently—just a casual afternoon cuddling with research studies and medical journals—and shortly thereafter, I decided to commit to Chaga mushrooms, once and for all. So I woke up the next morning, dumped my regular smoothie, and settled with a cozy cup of Chaga mushroom tea. My first sip brought with it a whiff of familiarity. I know this taste. It was like the shy little sister of bold black tea: humble, mute, and vaguely visible. I sipped some more.
Twenty minutes later, I found myself busting into my running shoes and bursting out my front door. Something felt different. A transformation occurred—like I had morphed from a suburban, mother-of-two pharmacist and into an unstoppable Wakandan warrior. I must wear out this energy! I ran for miles and miles, hours on end, until my feet met a previously unpursued path. I had never run that far before, but I continued anyway. And when I returned home, my newfound endurance carried me through more weight lifting and into a work day with utmost mental clarity. It was a beautiful sensation. That effect—that energy boost, that unabated agility, or whatever you want to call it—lasted for days.
What exactly is Chaga Mushroom?
In two words: a fungus. It's not the prettiest plant in the woods, but what a Chaga mushroom lacks in outer beauty, it makes up in medicinal aptitude. Chaga mushrooms have one of the highest Oxygen Radical Absorbent Capacity (ORAC) scores of any food, which speaks to their ability to protect the body from aging and fight disease-causing free radicals. Hmm, maybe they are just as good as Vibranium, after all?
What are some of Chaga Mushrooms' superpowers?
How do you consume this superfood?
You don't need to be a Kimberly Snyder or a Dr. Mark Hyman to whip up a Chaga-infused concoction. The method is simple. Add two to three chunks of Chaga mushrooms to one to two quarts of water in a slow cooker/crock pot. Set the mixture on low and cover the pot while the mixture steeps for up to 12 hours. Drink it hot or chilled, as a base for flavored tea, coffee, or your favorite fruit smoothie. There are no rules! Chaga mushrooms are versatile enough to be bent to your preference, so be creative. For the little ones, blend half a cup of Chaga mushroom tea with ice and honey and serve! The kiddos will absolutely love it.
If you do give this superpower a chance, like I did, please share your experience with me in the comments below! I would love to hear all about it. Here's a brand I really recommend.

This graphic biography covers the entirety of Malcolm X's life in just over 100 pages. The d rawings are all in black and white, adding to the black and white subject matter. While I can understand how challenging it is to boil down someone's lifetime, it seemed odd how the book was paced. Specific events were explained in depth for an entire chapter, whereas other portions (namely family life) were skimmed over with just one sentence. Majority of the graphic novel focuses on the Nation of Islam and Malcolm X's complicated relationship with its members and views. Conversations and narrations wove together, adding a personal touch to the historical context, but the narrator's bias is strongly felt. It would partner well with a straightforward textbook about Civil Rights, providing a specific point of view and narrative, though students should be warned of Malcolm X's sometimes PG-13 lifestyle of drugs, women, and guns.


"We want to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for the beautiful kitchen you have created for us. Your ideas and sense of design, along with the ability to listen to our ideas, and then transform all this into reality has made our kitchen into a thing of beauty as well as a pleasure to use.
The excellent communication and friendly advice on your part as you lead and helped us through this project, one stage at at time made the whole undertaking much less painful then it might have been. Thanks!
"My home was built in 1955 and my old kitchen had served its purpose well beyond its design. Working with Zeigler's Kitchens is certainly a delight. Mr. Zeigler listens to what the customer is expressing and creates those thoughts on paper and adds his own special details to create the dream kitchen of any home owner.
The island that was built is very versatile. I have enough space for multi-person work stations and gathering and/or eating areas. One of my favorite points of interest is the front of the island with its lighted display area an glass doors. These doors were created to mirror the Anderson Atrium doors facing into my great room.
"When we began renovations at (our home) the project at the top of the list was a new kitchen.
The previous kitchen, 14' x 10', had no stove ventilation. The walls were not insulated enough to prevent condensation inside the cabinets. Storage and workspace were very limited. It appeared that this kitchen evolved from an enclosed porch in the 1950's and was a nice upgrade from an old summer kitchen. It made some fabulous meals during our 2-year use, but would not last.
With the aid of a General Contractor, we created a 16' x 24' new kitchen and converted the old kitchen into a laundry room, leaving its outer structure in place.
The new kitchen and laundry room were a challenge: how to introduce modern technology and current-day codes and standards, and still maintain the old world feel of the entire house.
As the General Contractor worked through the permit process, I began thumbing through design magazines and books for the 'feel' of our new kitchen and laundry room.
By the time the General Contractor introduced me to Rodney at Zeigler's Kitchens, I had about 10-15 pages of ideas and a rough layout of my loose interpretation of a French country-style kitchen. The laundry room evolved from one clipped photo.
It would be easier for Rodney if I just allowed him to do the design and layout. Every artisan has his/her own style and well-worn path. Rodney stepped out of the comfort zone and took my ideas and brought them to life.
In the kitchen specifically, he and his team successfully mimicked the color and look of all the cabinet surfaces from only one magazine image of a piece of furniture. They incorporated a variety of drawer and cabinet openings (as seen in many different clipped photos from different sources) into one very cohesive look in our new kitchen. They precisely measured and templated and considered all elements such as floor tile thickness, appliance sizes, window locations (and I had many windows!), hanging light fixtures, and heating radiators. Rodney had to provide me with as much storage and workspace as possible and still work around all of the design obstacles I created!
In his follow through, he considered all aspects of the job and recommended to me exterior and interior hardware for the cabinets and types of interior shelving and metal racks for the food pantry. He even designed a cabinet to hide our trash can that we access through a hole in the countertop.
"Part of the 4-year renovation plan at (our home) was to remove the structurally weak one-car garage and upstairs enclosed porch. We replaced this section of the house with a new 2 car garage with a wider upstairs that includes a bedroom, bathroom, and sitting room. This new living quarters is part of the first floor of the house and much easier for my parents to access than the second floor.
Because of the limited amount of space available for the sitting area, the layout and design had to be efficient and clutter-free, yet comfortable for senior citizens to navigate through.
Since Rodney at Zeigler's Kitchens built and installed cabinets in our bathrooms, kitchen and laundry (mud) room and met our expectations, we worked with him in designing a large, all-encompassing wall unit for the sitting room. This unit needed to house a large, flat screen television, VCR/DVD player(s), music collection,movie collection, lap blankets, radio/miscellaneous appliances. We wanted these items to be stored dust-free and out-of-view, yet easy-to-reach and use when necessary.
Rodney designed may pull out drawers with outlets located within the cabinet, so my mom can simply pull out a drawer and turn on a radio. When my parents want to watch television, they only need to pull out and fold back door panels to expose the flat screen. We particularly like these disappearing door panels because they allow TV viewing from a broader peripheral angle.
When not in use, these items are stored safely behind doors and make the room appear less crowded.
Rodney listened to what we needed and followed through with a very user-friendly cabinet. He took the time to ask us what we needed to house in the unity and didn't try to sell us on something that we both felt would not benefit us (for example, installing a shallow drawer instead of a deep pull-out drawer or open shelving that my mom would have to constantly dust).

Selone, pronounced "seh-LOAN-eh," in Nacateca meant something like "club" or "association" or "collective."
Furishece (and all his subsequent followers) imagined the selones functioning in many different ways-- residential communes, neighborhood associations, political or fraternal organizations, work collective, or all of these things, and later on even as the working local government. But regardless of purpose or function, all selones had these characteristics: (a) voluntary membership, (b) democratic, which is to say governed by an assembly of members and a council elected by members, (c) supported by member donations, dues or labor, (d) a clear purpose of service to the greater good and to the mutual benefit of the membership.
Of course the students and others interested in his ideas resolved to them into practice, and they actively organized selones. The very first selone appeared, not surprisingly, in Cationi, and consisted of those who taught and studied at the University of Red and Black. Furishece participated, but he disclaimed any thought of leadership and remained in the background. His health was frail and all too soon in 1130 he passed away. By that time selones had sprung up in the cities and towns all over western Bergonia.
Selone members pooled their resources and rented or bought buildings which became their headquarters and, in many cases, collective homes. The selone buildings usually had common kitchens, meeting rooms, and workshops. The members came there to work, socialize, educate each other, watch each other's children, and do good works. They typically ran what we now call charities, winning friends and supporters among their city's poor. They often ran or sponsored bakeries, laundries, craftsmen to provide services for the benefit of members.
The members regularly met in assembly and elected a council and various officers. The council ran things between assembly meetings. An elected chief or a three-man executive chaired all the meetings and supervised the officers in their work. No one could hold an office for consecutive terms, and often the members chose their council by lot, rather than by elections.
The larger cities hosted multiple selones-- Cationi, the largest city in western Bergonian at the time (as well as now) and the birthplace of the movement, had 27 selones. In the larger cities the various selones and all their members formed broad associations to protect their interests, very much in the nature of prototypical political parties, as well as to coordinate activities (e.g. group bulk purchases, trading services).
The men who established the selones were young idealists, men and women heavily intoxicated in the fresh mysteries of the Miradi religion and fascinated with the exploits of Churoflia. Often they were the sons of rich traders, guild chiefs, officers of the trading houses, or literati, librarians and scribes. (In German Europe these men would have been called Burghers.) The most idealist among them refrained from regular careers and put all their energies into the selone, causing grave disappointment for their fathers. They met in wine house and temples and on the street corners in between to engage in spirited, endless discussions. They studied in the universities and prayed with the Miradi priests.
In the selones' early days the members rarely came from the artisan guilds, and hardly ever from the working classes (e.g. porters, warehousemen, oarsmen, factory laborers), and never from the peasantry. In modern times some Marxist theorists have said that the selone and the subsequent Tan movement were something akin to bourgeoisie movements, even though medieval Bergonia was hardly what anyone would have called industrial, and the urban underclass was very different from an industrial proletariat. In time, however, the selones attracted people from every social class, and the selone ideals began percolating all throughout society, drawing admiration from some and scorn from others.
Whatever their origins, selone members pursued one ideal, how to bring the Miradi vision into all aspects of life, including the social and political sphere. They lived in noble poverty, eating and dressing simply and sensibly, all in imitation of the Miradi ideal. They created for themselves a new image of the banda warrior; becoming warriors of the intellect and spirit. Never did they take up weapons, and while they had no qualms about demonstrating in public or speaking their minds to their rulers, they absolutely eschewed violence.
Startling their more traditional contemporaries, they included in their ranks a great number of young single women. All throughout Shufrantei civilization women had enjoyed much respect and considerable legal protection. But women still ran the households and raised the children while men commanded all institutions and enterprises. Only the priesthood and a number of the artisan crafts welcomed women. Even within these, female Shufrantei priestesses usually assisted the male priests, and often married them. Priestesses worked as seamstresses within the monasteries and as healers. Within the guilds female artisans rarely filled important management posts. Krathnami, however, wrought a change in the status of women. He explicitly preached that women deserved as much consideration in life as men. Though speaking primarily about the spiritual sphere of life, his preaching had considerable implications in other areas of life as well. He entrusted much of the business of his new movement to Bishnat, his niece, and Bishnat ended up becoming the second most important of his immediate disciples. Relying upon Krathnami's example, these young men welcome women into their ranks, and many women joined in the vigorous debates and the involved tasks of organizing.
These brave young men and women wanted to create a social structure that would express Furishece's ideals, and they did so in the form of the selone. The first selones were jumbled, flexible creations, with changing rules, and sometimes collapsing in chaos. Several selones often formed in a single city, and competed with each other. Elsewhere the selone became the organizing principle of the community, the town or village. There were selones within selones, and in cases of communities rent by some old feud or clan division, there easily formed several selone, somewhat in competition with each other.
The selone operated like an association or a corporate body, with a definite, formally established membership. One became a member by embracing the beliefs of the new order and actively participating in selone activities. Borrowing from the clans and the ancient feticinai groups, most selones contrived initiation ceremonies for new recruits.
The selone operated with the assembly of members at its center. Newer members should defer to members with experience, but the experienced members should never take advantage of that deference. Debate was always well-mannered, with no interruptions. The assembly designated a chair to control the proceedings, and while he acted firmly to steer deliberations, he could never express an opinion or openly take sides. The members always wanted to achieve a consensus, and would compromise to do so.
The assembly elected a governing council, hopefully chosen by unanimous consent in accordance with the idea of Tatlesi Arecoti Nure, the "Unitary Consultation Method" that Furishece proposed for the selones. The governing council would manage the affairs of the selone between assembly meetings. The governing council would then appoint officers and designate smaller bodies to manage particular functions, such as collecting food and clothing for the poor, maintaining selone buildings and property, keeping a treasury, supervising the selone library, arranging classes, debates and propaganda, managing relations with the Miradi temples, operating mutual aid programs for members in trouble, providing security, and conducting ceremonies, entertainment and rites. Any member who wanted to participate in an activity simply joined the activity.
The selones vindicated in advance a certain branch of modern "multi-agent systems" theory, which apply mathematical modeling and computational power to sociological analysis. "Learning Organizatian" theory, developed by P. Senge, looks for ways to overcome "learning deficiencies," which are identified as the main reasons for the relatively short life span of most organizations. A learning organization is one that can spot error, learn from mistakes, and correct policy. To achieve this capacity an organization must collectively acquire five learning disciplines: (a) Systems Thinking, common awareness that the organizations, are complex systems in which inter-related actions fully develop their effects only over time. (b) Personal Mastery by the individual members subjective commitment to clearing his own vision and working on his own capacities & knowledge, i.e. self-development. (c) the capacity to identify common an individual presumptions, generalizations and bias (i.e. Mental Models) that can distort and cloud judgment. (d) Shared Vision , which means a set of goals that everyone enthusiastically adopts in common, which enhances the shared identity. (e) Team Learning is the capability of team members to suppress their individual assumptions, making possible the free flow of meaning among members, and enabling the collective discovery of insights. The selones in their original form incorporated all five characteristics.

Masterchef winner Peter Bayless has cooked up a way to stop 20,000 eggs going to waste at the Ouseday regatta – jelly bombs!
Missiles made from jelly give all the splat without the waste or the environmental impact, says the celebrity cook and food writer.
Organisers of the regatta and raft race, on Sunday, July 1, were horrified to see so many eggs going to waste last year in a town that has four food banks. Many of the flour bombs thrown at rafters also turned out to be made with bags containing plastic.
Local environment groups including Plastic Free Lewes joined the Ouseday cause and they discovered jelly bombs are becoming the missile of choice for responsible regattas. Spectators are now being urged to join Operation Breggsit – farewell eggs and hello jello.
Peter, who won the hit BBC cookery show in 2006, was recruited to film a video at the Community Kitchen in Lewes showing families how to make their own wobbly armoury. The video will go on websites including Ouseday.com this weekend, one week ahead of the regatta, which will include the 43rd annual Lewes to Newhaven raft race.
Peter said: "I am delighted to be asked to help this worthy cause. I have been in Lewes on raft race day so I know what good fun it is, but 20,000 eggs – wow, this is too much! Please, no more eggs.
Agar can be bought in health food shops or ordered over the internet from firms such as Amazon, costing under £10 a packet.
The eco team of local volunteers from Plastic Free Lewes, Surfers Against Sewage and Zero Waste Maman are now busy cooking up a stock of the jelly bombs to be available on a stall at Malling Recreation Ground on Ouseday. Litter Free Lewes volunteers will also help clear up rubbish after the regatta, which is sponsored again by Oakley Property.
Raft race organiser Liam Jackson said: "We are very grateful to the environmental groups, to Community Kitchen, videographer Rowan Holford and to Peter for putting together our own raft race Masterchef episode.


INDUSTRY.co.id - Jakarta - Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Ignasius Jonan estimates that the EMR sector will contribute 49.6 percent or almost half of total non-tax revenues (PNBP) in 2017.
"The ESDM sector plays an important role for national economic growth, as evidenced by the 2017 data, the contribution of PNBP of the ESDM sector is estimated to reach Rp129.07 trillion or 49.6 percent of the national PNBP of 2017 of Rp260 trillion. Almost half of PNBP from the EMR sector," said Minister Jonan after leading the first working meeting of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources in 2018 at the Observation Post of Gunungapi Agung, Rendang District, Karangasem Regency, Bali as delivered in its release in Jakarta yesterday.
Also present in the meeting on Tuesday were Deputy Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Arcandra Tahar together with all echelon I and II officials within the Ministry of ESDM.
Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources expressed his appreciation to his staff for the achievements that have been achieved in the EMR sector, especially the PNBP deposit.
Jonan added that the achievement of PNBP of ESDM sector is bigger than the realization in the last two years that is Rp79.94 trillion in 2016 and Rp118.7 trillion in 2015.
"The achievement of PNBP is also bigger than the target of PNBP of ESDM sector in APBNP 2017 which amounted to Rp111 trillion or 116 percent of the target," he said.
He detailed that the non-oil and gas sub-sector (oil and gas) subsidy as of December 29, 2017 is estimated to reach Rp85.6 trillion or higher than the 2017 target of Rp76.6 trillion.
Receipts were obtained from natural resources PNBP (SDA) oil and gas amounting to Rp79, 6 trillion and other oil and gas Rp6 trillion.
In 2016, the oil and gas PNBP is Rp49 trillion and 2015 Rp86 trillion.
"In addition, state revenues derived from oil and gas income taxes are estimated at Rp49 trillion, bringing the total revenues from the oil and gas sub-sector to Rp135 trillion or 113 percent of the target of Rp119 trillion in APBNP. In 2016, revenues from this sub-sector amounted to Rp87 trillion," said Minister Jonan.
In the same period, the ministry of mineral subsector is expected to break the figure of Rp40.6 trillion or 125 percent higher than the target of APBNP 2017 of Rp 32,7 trillion.
"The revenue from this sub-sector consists of royalty Rp23, 2 trillion, sales of mining products Rp16, 9 trillion, and fixed contribution Rp500 billion," he continued.
In 2016, the minerals ministry's non-tax revenues are recorded at Rp27 trillion.
For the new energy subsector renewable and energy conservation (EBTKE), continued Minister of EMR, the achievement of PNBP is estimated to be 140 percent higher than the target set.
Until December 29, 2017, geothermal revenues are estimated at Rp933 billion, while the 2017 APBNP target is Rp671 billion.
The geothermal revenue consists of PNBP of existing geothermal working area (WKP) of Rp909 billion and geothermal permit WKP of Rp24 billion.
In addition to these three sub-sectors, Rp1.87 trillion was also obtained from several other activities, namely Rp1.16 trillion from PNBP of the Downstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Agency (BPH Migas), which consists of business entities from the business of providing and distributing fuel oil (BBM) Rp863 billion and corporate business contribution from natural gas transportation business through pipeline Rp294 billion.
In addition, approximately Rp730 billion was obtained from activities such as sales and leases of services, education, and public service agencies.
"Our achievement demonstrates that in addition to being a guaranteed source of energy supply at an affordable price and the ability to increase added value domestically, the ESDM sector is also a mainstay and influence in supporting national development and economy," said Minister Jonan.

A few months ago, I was pondering the idea of building another transmitter. It was going to be a high current device capable of delivering large amounts of amperage to drive a low impedance antenna system. I did some research into the parts I would need to build such a device. I found the perfect part for the project; A Power mosfet transistor. The transistor I selected was the RFP50N06, a 50 amp, 60 volt, 0.022 ohm, N-Channel Power Mosfet. It has a power dissapation rating of 131 watts, using that rating I was able to come up with a design. I built the transmitter with 20 of these transistors in parallel. Each transistor has 16 gauge copper wire soldered to the drain and source terminals, the source (red wire) terminals are wired to the 350 amp fuse block, the drain (yellow wire) terminals connect to the output on the back.
Of course it will never actually deliver 1000 amps, each transistor is wired with 16 gauge stranded copper. The main power wire is 4 gauge copper. The power supply is basically my truck for right now, it has a 110 amp alternator with an 850 CCA battery, which can deliver up to about 300 amps in short (1 second) bursts.

Autonomous warehouses where robots talk to each other over secure Wi-Fi, and where production machines are fixed before they fail –the future factory is coming.
By 2025, the sector called Industry 4.0 –the Fourth Industrial Revolution--is expected to generate close to $1 trillion in economic value, much of it unlocked by the efficiencies and disruptions transforming factories and production lines around the world.
Manufacturing, which in many places hasn't fundamentally changed in hundreds of years-- meaning labor intensive factories pumping out commodities under constant pressure to produce at lower cost—is now poised to become a lot smarter, with automation and AI creating innovations not seen since the First Industrial Revolution some 300 years ago.
Israel Industry 4.0: Beyond Man and Machine, a conference scheduled for October in Tel Aviv, is going to highlight some of this innovation. According to Start-Up Nation Finder, there are around 200 currently active Industry 4.0 startups operating in Israel right now, a number that's doubled in under 5 years. Eighty of them (40%) have between 11-50 employees, meaning they've grown past their initial small "garage stage" and are now scaling. Over a quarter of the 200 (55) work in operations optimization—things like data and sensors to create smart factories, including predicting which machines are going to fail and when. Around 15% of the startups in Israeli Industry 4.0 are in cybersecurity, a growing concern as factories connect to the Internet, where they're vulnerable to hacking, sabotage, and IP theft.
Here are just a handful of Industry 4.0 startups that will be attending the conference and who signal what the future of manufacturing looks like.
Some factories race to bring in automation, but they don't, or can't, redesign their factory floors to accommodate moving robots (among those humans). BionicHIVE makes an automated warehouse solution that uses a fleet of synchronized autonomous robots with 3D movement capabilities. These robots can then be retrofitted onto existing warehouse infrastructure. The robots are controlled by a dynamic software system that responds to real-time issues.
Seebo offers an industrial software as a service (SaaS) platform with packaged solutions for remote monitoring of equipment and predictive maintenance, creating a virtual dashboard that maps the entire system to provide a "twinned" visualization of a plant's manufacturing process. Founded in 2012, Seebo was named a cool vendor in "Cool Vendors in the Internet of Things, 2017" by the Gartner Research Group.
3DSignals collects and analyzes acoustic data from industrial equipment –the sounds that they emit can point to faults or stresses—for predictive maintenance. 3DSignals was also named the Entrepreneurial Company of 2017 by Frost & Sullivan, and in 2018 Gartner Research Group named them one of the "Cool Vendors in Acoustic Technologies for Predictive Maintenance".
Connected robots and other equipment in factories need to speak to each other to coordinate movements, actions, and a lot of other data—as close to real-time as possible because latency (the gap between transmission and receiving the message) can cause disruption and even accident. CoreTigo has developed an industrial wireless communication network system with low latency so machines can communicate on the factory floor. The company was founded by experts in communication and silicon technology from Texas Instruments and Apple.
vHive's cloud-based autonomous drone fleet software allows users to launch missions and then automatically process and analyze field data to generate insight.
Deep Learning Robotics (DLR) robot-to-human and robot-to-robot collaboration. DLR trains robots to learn and replicate tasks by observing humans as they perform them. DLR's desktop-sized devices can observe human movements via 3D imagery and translate them into robot control language using neural networks.

The Fund for Investigative Journalism (FIJ) is partnering with four of the country's most innovative journalism nonprofits for a yearlong fellowship program that aims to expand opportunities for diverse journalists in watchdog reporting, with an emphasis on journalists of color.
The Ida B. Wells Society for Investigative Reporting will aid the effort by providing fellows with additional training and support.
FIJ and its partners will select up to four fellows who will work with one of FIJ's partner outlets to produce deeply reported investigations on climate change and the environment, social justice and the U.S. criminal justice system, and government accountability and the abuse of power.
Fellows will have access to reporting expertise and other resources offered by partner outlets. Each will get guidance from some of the industry's best editors and investigative journalists.

This area of the Piedmont was occupied by Siouan-speaking peoples at the time of European encounter. Tribes located in coastal areas generally spoke Algonquian languages.
Pre-Civil WarEdit
The present-day Town of Orange was known as the Town of Orange Court House prior to the late 19th century. Following the establishment of Culpeper County from a part of Orange County in 1749, the courthouse was relocated to Orange Court House from elsewhere in the county. The court convened in the house of a man named Timothy Crosthwait until 1752; after Crosthwait deeded the two acres to the county, it constructed a new courthouse on the property. The town at that time consisted of the courthouse and its related public buildings, a few houses and stores, a tavern and little else. The first U.S. Post Office was constructed in the town in 1796. In 1801–1804 the courthouse was replaced with a new building, clerk's office and, later, a new jail.[6]
In 1799 Paul Verdier purchased the property of William Bell, an 18th-century farm that included much of the modern-day Town of Orange adjacent to Main Street, near present-day Bellevue and Peliso avenues. Verdier divided the land into lots, which helped shape the town's pattern of development. His house, which he named Montpeliso, still stands on the land. Growth continued into the nineteenth century as new roadways were constructed through the town. Along with expanding agricultural markets, the roads helped transform Orange Court House into a regional center. In 1834 the Virginia General Assembly to pass an act allowing for the incorporation of the Town of Orange Court House. But, the act never had implementing legislation.[6][7][8]
Orange Court House continued growing, with several significant downtown buildings being constructed from this point up to the Civil War, including the Sparks Building (1829) the Holladay House (1830), and the St. Thomas Episcopal Church (1833). These buildings still stand as part of the Orange Commercial Historic District.[6]
In 1847 the Orange and Alexandria Railroad chose to route their new railway from Alexandria to Gordonsville through Orange. The county court granted the railroad right-of-way through the courthouse property, which required the courthouse to be moved to another location.[6]
The fourth and current courthouse was completed in 1859 in the Italian Villa architectural style and stands today on the corner of Madison Rd and Main St. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. The General Assembly passed an act in 1855 which officially incorporated the Town of Orange Court House, but it did not take effect until a majority of citizens qualified to vote consented, which did not occur until after the Civil War.[6][9]
Orange was a strategically important location during the American Civil War. Just north of town, the Rapidan River was effectively the northern border of the Confederacy from March 1862 to May 1864. Consequently, the area witnessed countless troop movements, patrols, skirmishes, and encampments. In addition, the town of Orange served as General Robert E. Lee's headquarters during that time. General Lee worshipped at the St. Thomas Episcopal Church on Caroline Street, which still stands. This church is also significant as it served as a hospital for Confederate wounded after the Battle of Chancellorsville and the Battle of the Wilderness. Lee passed by this church many times during his stay in Orange. Mort Künstler, an artist of American historical subjects, immortalized this scene in his painting Soldier of Faith.[7][8]
County records dating back to its founding in 1734 were protected by a clerk of court removing them to "a place of safety" as Federal troops were moving through Orange and towards Richmond.
Post-Civil WarEdit
Numerous buildings constructed soon after the Civil War stand in the downtown historic district. Following Virginia's readmission to the Union in 1870, Orange Court House officially became a town in 1872 when the petition (required by the 1855 General Assembly act) for an election of town trustees was filed in the court. The first town council meeting was held on June 28, 1872. In 1890 the village changed its name officially to the current-day Town of Orange.[6]
The economy and population continued to grow up until the time of the 1909 fire, which destroyed most of the eastern portion of town. Like nearby Gordonsville, Orange's importance as a railroad hub began declining in the early twentieth century. Due to its location at the confluence of two major roadways and the establishment of the Orange Automobile Club in 1910, the town became a regional center for automobile sales and services. Its accessibility allowed it to maintain a relatively healthy economy through the Great Depression.
A notable company in Orange during that period was American Silk Mills, Inc., which was established in 1929 and processed raw silk into a finished material. During World War II, the mill was awarded a presidential citation for its production of parachutes for Allied troops. Although much of the mid-20th-century industry moved to other locations, the population of Orange has grown steadily up through the 2010 census.[6]
Sites on National Register of Historic PlacesEdit
As of September 2013, Orange County contained 33 places listed on the National Register of Historic Places, seven of which are within the Town of Orange.

Cain: 'Cancer centers opt out of ACA, including the one that saved my life'

Former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain revealed on Monday in an email alert that the cancer center that saved his life has opted out of taking Obamacare (Affordable Care Act) insured patients.
In 2006, Cain was diagnosed with prostate cancer and was treated at the M.D. Anderson in Houston, one of many centers that are now opting-out of accepting Obamacare-insured patients and Cain said that what is happening has hit him hard in a personal way.
"That hit home in a very personal way, because it made me realize something. If Obamacare had been in place in 2006, I would now be dead, "said Cain. "Let's see if Harry Reid or Glenn Kessler of the Washington Post want to try to call me a liar for this."
"Eight years ago this month, I was diagnosed with cancer. The first opinion I received was not encouraging…not at all… so I sought a second opinion, from a Savannah-based physician named Dr. Lord. He believed I could beat the cancer, and at his direction, I sought treatment at M.D. Anderson in Houston," Cain said.
"Today, I am cancer-free. But, now let's say I had been relying on an Obamacare insurance policy, which would mandate that all my treatment take place within its own network," said Cain. "In that case, despite Dr. Lord's recommendation, I would not have had the freedom to go to M.D. Anderson. And if that had happened, my friends, I would now be dead."
"Before Democrats messed with the market by passing Obamacare, these cancer centers had no problem accepting the majority of insurance. Now they want no part of it. What's the variable? Obamacare. What caused the problem? It's Obamacare."

Late 3rd-early 2nd millennium B.C.?
Cast by the lost wax process, probably with a central core to economize metal, and cold-worked.
Condition: missing the offering stand of which the shaft emerged from the middle of the back - unfortunately removed in modern times by a previous owner and its emplacement smoothed down to the line of the rest of the back; also missing the lower part of the right hind leg, the hoof of the front left leg and the rectangular openwork grating to which all four hooves would have been affixed - a 2.2 cm fragment of this still attached to the front right hoof. A deep gash across his belly. The eyes once inlaid.
Surface smooth, reddish-brown metal, originally covered with dark green and red patina, mostly cleaned off. Traces of brown earth deposits in the recesses.
The goat's  legs were originally affixed to a rectangular grating of the type under the stand bearer (cat. no. 16), somewhat comparable to the one that joins the legs of a long-horned ibex in Baltimore . A bull , also on a grating of which only pieces remain attached to the hooves, retains its complete support, a cylindrical, slightly tapering shaft from which project four arms surmounted by a ring.
The lack of any excavation data for these pieces and of any scientifically ascribed comparative material renders their dating and attribution hazardous.
The writer thinks that the zoomorphic vessel support in New York  mounted on a foot that bears some affinity with those under figures from the Temple Oval at Khafaje  is, as described, probably of an earlier date (second quarter of the 3rd millennium B.C.) and would tend to date this figure end of the 3rd or beginning of the 2nd millennium B.C.
As with the Bull-man (cat. no. 15) and the stand bearer (cat. no. 16), this goat was probably also a stand for cult use in a temple.
1 Mrs. Juliet Clutton-Brock, D.Sc., FSA, of the Mammal Section of the Natural History Museum London kindly informs us, after viewing photographs, which is always difficult, that he "... looks most like a male domestic goat ... evident from the beard, and the dropped ears indicate domestication. .... The 'ruffs' around the legs and the nose could be meant to show that the goat has a long shaggy coat."
