Michelle Hood is a photographer, artist, and owner of LitetheLight.com, making orgone energy pyramids and other tools for restoring harmonic balance to the earth and all living things. Alanis.com: How did this all start for you, Michelle? How did you go from photography to pyramids?
Michelle: It started with my interest in frequency. In the summer of 2011, a friend asked if I had heard about this "stuff" called orgonite? She said that when you throw it into the ocean, the dolphins come. That instantly caught my attention—I had an instant draw and a feeling of recognition. I started researching orgone/orgonite right away. I spent nine months reading everything I could find and interviewing people. I was intending to do it as a hobby, but it became much more than that, for sure.
A lot of people ask me, "What are your secrets behind these mysterious pyramids?" But the truth is that there is a lot of research and information online that enables people to understand orgonite, and even instructions for making your own unique creations, for those who want to do that.
Alanis.com: What exactly is orgonite? And what is the difference between orgonite and orgone energy?
Michelle: Orgonite is a combination of crystal and metal in resin, and it is based on Wilhelm Reich's scientific research culminating in the existence of what he termed orgone energy. Torsion field and zero point energy has evolved out of Reich's research. To this crystal-metal-resin recipe, I have added sacred symbols—sacred geometry—to further amp up the healing frequencies.
Orgone energy is similar to what the ancients have called prana, chi, or universal energy. Orgone is created by layering organic and inorganic materials that are able to harness this vital life force energy and amplify it so you can actually feel a sensation with it. In 2000, Carol Croft is attributed with adding crystals to the mix. In doing so, the crystal matrix is locked in an amplified state of its own frequency. The encased metal filters the negative frequencies. This combination creates a high-frequency output and a negative-frequency filter all in one piece. The metals I use are copper, stainless steal, and zinc.
As I describe on my website, when orgonite is within range of a source of negative energy (like electromagnetic frequencies—EMFs), it will efficiently and continuously transform it into positive energy.
Alanis.com: Although there is a lot more awareness today than ever before about EMFs and other stressful frequencies, please clarify. What are we really dealing with?
Michelle: I'm very concerned about the digital and inorganic frequency soup we live in. Even in 2011 when I began my research it wasn't as extreme as it is now. For starters, there are all the electrical grids, cell towers, satellites beaming down on us, as well as GWEN towers, which is the Ground Wave Emergency Network that the government says they'll only use in an emergency. There is HAARP— the U.S. defense system's High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program based in Alaska that analyzes the ionosphere. Its antennas shoot powerful and heating radio waves straight up into the atmosphere. And then there are all of the devices and appliances we have inside our homes.
Living beings—people, animals, trees, other plants—don't do well near these frequency blasters. The frequencies are incoherent with the planet and its life forms. People are sicker, not sleeping well, depressed, anxious, worn down. It is a real concern. I saw that orgone energy was one way to offset some of the harmful effects of technological fallout.
Alanis.com: How do you test the effectiveness of your pyramids?
Michelle: I have a Trifield 100XE EMF Meter that I use to test the effectiveness of the orgone pieces that I make. The meter confirms that the pyramids do in fact substantially mitigate and sometimes completely eliminate radio microwaves being emitted by wifi boosters, computers, TVs, etc. If you have a pyramid in your home or office, you still get clear reception, but it offsets a lot of the swampy frequencies that aren't really helping anyone.
Alanis.com: What are your favorite crystals or minerals for use in the pyramids?
Michelle: I use dozens of the most beautiful healing crystals and stones on Earth, and I love them all. But I would say my current favorites are Arkansas quartz, Sacred Lemurian, and Himalayan quartz crystal. There is a complete list on my website of the different minerals I work with, along with their primary healing properties.
To bridge the science with the spiritual aspects, crystals are like windows of light anchoring in higher planetary frequencies and possibly frequencies from other dimensions. They are powerful frequency enhancers. One of my teachers described the pyramids as "creating spatial vortexes of light energy that rejuvenate and regenerate." In this way, they may support optimal health in the human body and in nature.
Alanis.com: Tell us about the sacred symbols that you use and incorporate.
Michelle: I've chosen six of the most potent and auspicious symbols I know of—Buddha's Wheel of Dharma, The Flower of Life, the Gnosa (a Reiki symbol), Metatron's Cube, the ancient Hindu OM symbol, and the Buddhist Sri Yantra.
One of my teachers instructed me to draw out the sacred symbols myself, indicating that I was not to copy them. I needed to do this to maintain the integrity of the symbols and their frequencies. So I took the time to really do it. It all comes back to that same ethos: Do your research, know your tools, there are no short cuts. My experience is that working with integrity allows me to be clear, and in doing so the true essence of the crystals can manifest through the orgone devices without distortion.
Alanis.com: Was the pyramid shape of your orgonite also inspired by Wilhelm Reich's theories? Or was that your own inspiration?
Michelle: It was just no question that it was going to be pyramids. I can't explain it, but I just knew. Although I had some understanding about the power of pyramids, I also did a lot of research on this aspect and discovered more about how significant they are to anchoring in and expanding healing frequencies all over the planet.
For anyone interested, there is a page on my website featuring a summary of the Russian Pyramid Research led by Dr. Alexander Golod, PhD., along with links to learn more. Also, Patrick Flanagan, who wrote Pyramid Power, has been a huge influence in a multitude of ways on this subject. His work is worth investigating.
Alanis.com: Do you always begin with a predetermined plan when making pyramids—deciding in advance which mineral, symbol, and metal you'll be blending?
Michelle: The pyramids, which I make by hand, usually come together in one of three ways. Sometimes I have an idea of how a particular piece should look and just go for it. And other times, I will stand over the mold and can't do anything. I have to wait. This might go on for one day or sometimes three or four days, even a week, until there is a flow. And then there are the accidents, which often end up being the most amazing pieces. I know I am accessing some kind of ancient knowledge, but I couldn't accurately verbalize this.
Alanis.com: Your pyramids are made in three sizes. Are the large pyramids more effective than the medium and small ones?
Michelle: I get this question a lot. It is very interesting because size can matter and also not matter at all. One woman bought a small pyramid containing an amethyst, and I received a two-page testimonial on what happened after she took it home, said a little prayer, and used it to clear any negative or deleterious energies in her house. She felt the shift and was totally happy. On the other hand, if somebody lives near a big tower grid, I would say get a larger pyramid that houses quartz crystal—any kind of quartz or "cubicly" structured stone is a massive amplifier.
By the way, the small is 2" x 2" x 1.75" high; the medium is 3" x 3" x 2.75" high ; and the large is 4.5" x 4.5" x 4" high.
I also make extra-larger sizes. I currently have several 6," 7," and 8" pyramids, as well as "giant pyramids" that are roughly 10"-12" and about 20-25lbs. These are more expensive pieces that take a lot of time to create. They are extremely powerful, especially if you are a sensitive. People can contact me through the site for this custom work.
Alanis.com: What is the first thing a person should do when they get a pyramid—what are the operating instructions?
Michelle: Step one is clearing and charging the pyramid crystal, then tuning into it for the greatest possible assistance.
Place your pyramid in direct sunlight for 20-30 minutes. Or clear your pyramid by bathing it in healing sounds, such as sound bells, tuning forks, or classical music.
Tune into and connect with your crystal. Two very simple ways to do this are to hold the pyramid close to your heart and mindfully connect, or to envision an infinity sign (a figure 8) between the crystal and your heart.
Set an intention. The crystal will assist you as long as it is in alignment with your highest and best, with no harm to anyone else.
An important side note: The pyramids that I make are not designed to be left outside for any great lengths of time because I use an environmentally-friendly resin that doesn't do well in harsh weather. If you need something on the outside of your home, you can get tower busters online, which are made of a heartier resin. I know someone who put these by her fruit trees in the fall and the next spring she had five times the amount of fruit! Trees and the plant kingdom love orgone devices of any kind!
Alanis.com: Who are the biggest fans of your pyramids? And how are they finding you?
Michelle: It is amazing to me how many different types of people gravitate to the pyramids. Men and women of every age group and vocation. And children really love the magical qualities of the pyramids. Some people find me through their own online searching, often looking for EMF protection—but then a whole other world opens up for them. And there are also about twenty-five stores that now that carry my pyramids.
The majority of the people getting the pyramids are those I would label as "healers," although there are so many kinds of healers! Energy medicine practitioners, bodyworkers, chiropractors, acupuncturists, intuitives and psychics, therapists and coaches—and others. People who meditate love the pyramids because they feel that their meditations are deeper and that it's easier to maintain that equanimity. Trainers and other fitness-focused people who want support with regeneration and pain-relief. I have housewives (and househusbands) inquiring because they have heard about the need to minimize wifi radiation. Some veterinarians have them in their offices. I have a friend who is an airline pilot who flies with his pyramid. And I have other friends that fly with theirs to reduce the impact of the radiation. So it is all walks of life, and I am really grateful. If I help one person, it really does make it all worthwhile.
Alanis.com: What are some of the other benefits of having a pyramid?
Michelle: People sleep better with the pyramids. But where the pyramid is placed at night is a very individual thing. There is a very psychic and energetically sensitive man I know who loves his pyramid, including how it affects his sleep. But the energy was too strong to have in his bedroom at night, so he moved it to another room—still benefiting from it but with the buffer zone that he needed. Other people like to sleep with their pyramid very close to their beds.
There is such a variety of ways the pyramids can be used. I've received emails and phone calls from people who describe pain relief from placing their pyramid (base-end to body) directly on their body. A friend of mine rests the pyramid on top of his glass of water for a few minutes and swears that the water tastes better every time.
The pyramids are tools to help us hold a more harmonic space. To put it in practical terms, a screwdriver is helpful if you need a screwdriver. A hammer is helpful when you need to pound in a nail. The pyramids are helpful tools when you want to alleviate the EMFs from cellphones, wifi towers, and the like. They're not necessarily going to make you enlightened, but they are certainly going to give you breathing room where you can do your meditation, rest more easily, or just relax more knowing that your home is a healthier environment.
From the feedback I receive from people, as well as my own experience, cats, dogs, and other pets are also drawn to the pyramids and like hanging around them. I think that's a good sign.
Alanis.com: The pyramids look like works of art and not just EMF-busting tools. What influences the artisanship?
Michelle: I knew that if I was going to do this, they had to be beautiful. I was a photographer for 25 years and a poetry major in college, so an appreciation for beauty and how it can touch somebody's soul is foundational for me.
Alanis.com: How does your artistic nature influence your approach to working with the crystals, specifically?
Michelle: It's about honoring—honoring the wind, honoring fire, honoring the water, honoring the earth, honoring the stars. Making the pyramids in a beautiful form was my way of honoring the crystals. I feel like I am working in partnership with the crystal kingdom, and the crystal kingdom is working in partnership with the planet herself. The crystals and the planet are absolutely interwoven. They come from Mother Earth and are divine activators that purify frequencies. One of the ways I honor the crystals is by clearing and charging them with the intent of the highest outcome before I begin making the pyramids, like I described earlier. I believe this activates a kind of divine essence within the crystal.
All the crystals that I use, on some level, agree to be of service in this use. And they all know that one day the resin will break down and they will be free. So it's important to me that I tune into with which ones want to do this—want to be a part of the orgonite—and which ones don't.
Alanis.com: Do the pyramids help to foster peace and calm in people and places?
Michelle: Yes! One of the areas I'm most interested in is how orgonite divinitizes the spaces and people using it. I remember attending an event in Central Park years ago when the Dalai Lama was visiting. You could feel the peace and the higher energy radiating from someone who was operating at a higher frequency and how it actually brought everything up. Orgonite—the pyramids—emit harmonic and uplifting frequencies as well. It isn't like a high and low temperature that meets in the middle. High frequencies actually lift the lower frequencies up without lowering at all.
Alanis.com: Do you have resources for teaching people how to use the pyramids?
Michelle: As we speak, I'm putting together educational materials to teach people how to work with the pyramids in ways that go beyond blocking EMFs, as important as that is. There are simple yet profound applications. For example, for people who want to use the pyramids for healing work on themselves or others, one extremely powerful method of use is to take four pyramids (even the smalls ones) and place one in each of the four corners: north, south, east, and west to create a space you can sit or stand within. If you have a cell phone with a compass, you can use that to determine your true directions. If you're lucky enough to have a patch of grass outside where you can do this in the sun and with the earth beneath your feet, the effects are even stronger. Plus, the limited exposure to the sun is another chance to charge the pyramids. Either indoors or outdoors, when you stand in the middle of the pyramids, you are going to feel the higher frequencies. And it creates a strong healing environment for doing energy work of any kind. Of course, you can also do a variation on this with three pyramids to form a triangle.
Alanis.com: Who are your mentors as it relates to your work with the pyramids?
Michelle: I was fortunate enough to be raised by a mother who was not only open to but really involved in metaphysics, and she still is. She is definitely the most influential person when it comes to creating an environment where curiosity, expanded awareness, and life-affirming solutions are welcomed.
In addition to my mom, there are actually several amazing people who have influenced and inspired my work in a variety of ways—Gabriel Goldrain, William Linville, Dr. Randall Robirds, Nigel Taylor, Raymon Grace, and Dannion Brinkley, to name a few. Each one of them has contributed to expanding my conscious understanding of the seen and unseen in a deeper way.
I am looking forward to studying with Maria Wheatley next. She also happens to be a big fan of the pyramids. Maria is a second-generation dowser and authority on the geodetic system of earth energies and reference points used to map the earth. She is a keeper of the sacred knowledge of the earth's meridians … fascinating.
Alanis.com: Do you make orgonite tools in forms other than the pyramid?
Michelle: I make pendants, which are primarily sold in stores, and there is some information on my website about them. And I also make charging plates that are not yet featured on my site. At this point, they are a custom-order only item that has been word-of-mouth so far. The charging plates are pretty cool. They emit a softer but still very healing energy. I put it on top of my water pitcher, or place the pitcher on top of it, between twenty minutes to an hour to help structure the water. You can put your grocery bags right on the plate for ten minutes or so after coming home from the store and just amp up the frequency of your food. One woman put the plate under her bed after a surgery, and she experienced a quick and full recovery. I have no way of knowing if the plate contributed to her fast healing, but it might have helped a little.
There is one other story that made my heart leap when I found out about it. I sent one of my first charging plates to Alma, the owner of a store in Sandpoint, Idaho. It's called Inquire Within, one of the very first stores to carry the pyramids. I needed feedback on the effectiveness of the charging plates, and so I asked Alma if she would experiment. She invited seven people to the store to explore the potential rejuvenation capabilities, with everyone sitting in chairs in a circle and taking turns putting their bare feet on the plate. One of the women in the group had diabetes and little to no feeling in her feet. Within the first 15 minutes, she sensed something in her feet, and so she asked Alma if she could come back again the next day. I received a testimonial from Alma about this lovely woman saying that she could feel her shoes for the first time in 18 years. Again, I can't know for certain how much the plate helped to bring back the feeling in her feet, and I can't promise or guarantee results like this, but I'm so happy when I learn of breakthroughs like hers.
Alanis.com: Can people custom order their pyramids and pendants, selecting the type of crystal, the type of metal, and the specific sacred symbol they would like?
Michelle: Yes! I do take special orders. And often people ask me to choose for them, which I happily do. However, I also encourage them to see what they are most drawn to, because I think it's important to trust yourself.
Alanis.com: In closing, what are you most excited about right now in your work?
Michelle: I was divinely guided to create and "gift" specific giant pyramids to the leaders of particular indigenous tribes located in strategic points across the earth. I am doing this in an effort to offset the intensity of some of the coming earth changes. One has already been placed and another is close.
I have also gifted to places like orphanages in Africa and other locations around the world. There is an extensive list on the litethelight.com site for anyone interested.
Alanis.com: Thank you, Michelle, for your time, enthusiasm, and care.
Michelle: Thank you for the opportunity to share this information.


Genesis Research and Development has produced a 'green' plastic from natural lignin which is extracted from shrubby willow grown by their subsidiary BioJoule.
Although only small quantities of lignan were extracted BioJoule's Managing Director, Dr. Jim Watson believes that the pilot project shows the potential to manufacture 'green' plastics from shrubby willow that is sustainably produced in coppicable plantations. Such sustainable production may reduce the dependency on petrochemicals when producing polyurethane.

Q: Подпоследовательности Дана строка1 (или ряд чисел, это не так важно) и дана строка2, которая будет являться подпоследовательностью строки1.
Как можно реализовать следующее: убрать какое-то минимальное количество элементов из строки1, чтобы не получилось такой подпоследовательности?
Например для строки abcdefacb и подпоследовательности acb ответом будет abcdefac. Подпоследовательностью, простым языком, можно назвать какие-то элементы, в какой-то строке или каком-то ряде, при удалении между ними элементов образуется подстрока или подряд, или подмассив (последовательность). По сути, то же, но элементы не должны обязательно быть подряд идущими.

A: Эта задача решается с помощью динамического программирования.
Сначала "на пальцах". Пусть у нас строка 2 состоит из 2 символов ab. Тогда a мы в строке 1 должны убирать сначала (сколько нужно) а символы b с конца. При это последний убранный a будет раньше чем первый убранный b (очевидно). Можно уже начинать перебирать границу раздела, поддерживая число символов (за линейно).
Что делать, если строка длиннее. Для простоты понимания с конца. Пусть мы уже взяли предпоследний (N-1) символ строки 2 и он перешёл в j строки 1. Тогда мы должны удалить все последние (N) символы строки 1. Заполнили массив F[N-1][j]. Теперь пусть мы расставили N-2 символов. Используя идею из упрощения с 2 символами мы можем перебрать точку оптимальности (выбрать отрезок [j,k] такой что число элементов равный N на нём плюс F[N-1][k] будет минимально). Так мы получили F[N-2][j]. Повторять N раз.
При правильной реализации сложности будет квадратичная. Если не получается за квадрат - пишите за куб.
P.S. я надеюсь оптимальнее по времени это решать нет необходимости (это возможно).

A: Возможное решение, но нужно проверять на тестах:
Есть строка "21212122"  и подстрока "121"
Для начала посчитаем и запомним позиции вхождения подстроки. У нас есть 2 вхождения на позиции 1 и 3(отсчет от 0). Длинна подстроки 3(121).
Для каждого вхождения проверяем цепляем ли мы следующее вхождение.
1(вхождение) + 3(длинна подстроки) -1(отсчет от нуля) = 3
 А 3 <= 3(следующие вхождение) Значит удаляем 3 символ. Иначе удаляем любой (допустим 1).
И так перебираем все вхождения.
Таким образом мы удалим минимальное количество символов из последовательности

Другой вариант перебором. Находим все вхождения. Идем циклом по вхождениям. Перебором удаляем по 1 символу, затем по 2, итд и проверяем как изменилась строка. В конце перебора удаляем наилучший вариант и идем к следующему вхождению

The Toy Museum of Catalonia was created from the personal collection of Josep Maria Joan Rosa and Pilar Casademont Sadurní. It is the fruit of the creative passion and effort of two people over the course of more than twenty-two years.
Initially, the toys occupied most of their home located on Fossos street in Figueres. The "anti-museum", a term coined by Spanish writer Manuel Vázquez Montalbán to refer to the Museum when he visited in 1972, was growing in both quality and quantity; in December of the same year, the first public exhibition of the most outstanding pieces was inaugurated at the Palau Güell in Barcelona. It was not to be the last: twenty more exhibitions took place in the seventies and eighties.
The inventories of that initial stage of collecting were published in the progressive weekly Triunfo with the title "La noche de los juguetes vivientes" (Night of the living toys) on 6 January 1973. It was the happy precursor of what took place nine years later. On 18 June 1982, the Toy Museum opened its doors in the building that had formerly housed the Hotel París, located on the main thoroughfare in Figueres. From the very beginning, the collections grew with many important donations from both anonymous benefactors and well-known personalities in the cultural field, among which the collections of Guy Selz, Alan Gass and Joan Brossa stand out.
In fact, Joan Brossa, one of the Museum's patrons, dedicated it the "Sextina en el Museu de Joguets de Figueres" (Sestina in the Toy Museum in Figueres) in the book by the same name that was published in June 1984. The increase in items unrelated to the original collection made the constitution of a management foundation necessary: the Toy Museum of Catalonia Foundation was established in 1977, to which the founders donated their private collections. The current Museum, though it remained on the premises of the former Hotel París, was inaugurated in 1988, having been fully refurbished and adapted to ensure the correct conservation and display of the pieces.
Since then, more than nine hundred people have made donations to the Toy Museum of Catalonia. Thanks to their generosity, the Museum has become an international reference in the field of toys and games.

Banbury Conservatives give evidence at key Horton Hospital meeting
Banbury Conservatives were pleased to stand with local residents in continuing to fight for the reinstatement of obstetric-led maternity services at the Horton General Hospital at a meeting of the Horton Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee (HHOSC) today.
In August 2016 Oxfordshire University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (OUHFT) downgraded the Horton's maternity provision to a midwife-led only unit, without consultation. Since then Banburyshire residents, the Keep the Horton General group (KTHG) and local politicians have displayed a united front campaigning for the restoration of a fully functioning obstetric-led maternity department in Banbury.
Today's special day-long session focused on the impact of the downgrade of maternity provision on the residents of North Oxfordshire and the surrounding areas. Speakers included Victoria Prentis MP, Member of Parliament for Banbury, The Rt Hon Sir Tony Baldry, High Steward of Banbury and former MP, KTHG members, local mothers and elected Councillors Andrew McHugh (District Councillor for Adderbury, Bloxham and Bodicote), Eddie Reeves (County Councillor for Banbury Calthorpe) and Tony Ilott (District and County Councillor for Banbury Hardwick). Each speaker was granted a five-minute slot to present to members of the HOSC committee and representatives from the Trust and CCG.
Topics covered ranged from the Trust's recruitment efforts to travel times from Banbury to the John Radcliffe in Oxfordshire, the negative impact of service centralisation on patient safety, the growth of the Horton catchment and the personal experiences of expectant and labouring mothers. All speakers were unanimous that the Trust and the CCG must reverse their decision to remove obstetric-led maternity provision at the Horton.
In her own remarks, Victoria Prentis made clear that local people remain extremely concerned about the continuation of the downgrade. She also anonymously shared the personal stories of brave mothers who had contacted her with their experiences. "We remain anxious about the future of maternity and frightened about the safety of mothers and babies. Patient safety has got to be our top priority. We have been told repeatedly that without sufficient consultants, the obstetrics unit cannot reopen. The Training Dean made that very clear to me when we met in November. Efforts, our efforts, to help with recruitment were ignored by the Trust for two years. They continue to recruit for a post that doesn't exist."
Councillor Eddie Reeves, Conservative County Councillor for Calthorpe spoke at the meeting. He said afterwards: "The Horton Hospital sits right at the heart of the Division I represent. It is very welcome that the Trust has confirmed the future of A&E and 24-hour paediatric services in Banbury but the reinstatement of obstetric-led maternity needs to follow suit. Patient safety, particularly that of mothers and babies must be the priority. The geography from Banbury to Oxford remains unchanged. The JR is simply far too far.
Throughout the course of the day, the Committee heard many personal testimonies from mothers describing difficult and traumatic birthing experiences. The CCG and Trust need to listen to the qualitative evidence of mothers' experiences and make decisions on future service provision with patient care at the heart."
The new HHOSC committee was created as a result of recommendations from the Independent Reconfiguration Panel (IRP) which came following a referral from the then Secretary of State for Health, the Rt Hon Jeremy Hunt MP. In a report published earlier this year, the IRP ruled that the Clinical Commissioning Group's initial split consultation was inadequate and failed to take into account the Horton's wider catchment before concluding the consultation must be re-run.
The cross-border Committee which includes representatives from Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire and Warwickshire is Chaired by Deddington Conservative County Councillor, Arash Fatemian: "Today is the day that Banbury, with one voice, from all walks of life - mothers, professionals, residents - supported by local politicians sent a loud and clear message that no matter how you approach the subject, either from population growth, travel times, quality of care or the birthing experience, the case of obstetric-led maternity services at the Horton is overwhelming.
Today's meeting was a long one, but I want to thank those who spoke and in particular pay tribute to the courage of women who came forward to recount their harrowing stories. I believe it was vitally important for both the Committee and healthcare decision makers to hear local experiences and concerns first-hand."

However, she still tilted to the rear of the drive to the front wheels accounted for only 27 percent of capacity. In all versions use the same engine - the V-shaped, dvenadcaticilindrovyy, which was based on the design of the first V-shaped dvenadcaticilindrovogo engine Lamborghini, 1963 issue. He was all of alloys, with a short stroke and allowed to reach a large number of revolutions per minute. The office was amazing, used dvuhrychazhnye suspension with transverse links both in the front and rear and a very large distance between the wheels.

Oxford schools resumed classes on Monday
WCMU | By Quinn Klinefelter
Emily Elconin
Oxford High School in Oxford, Mich., a small town about 30 miles north of Detroit.
Some students in Oxford, return to classes on Monday.
Officials in essence shut the school system down last month after a gunman killed four students at a high school.
A month ago, Oxford High student Ethan Crumbley allegedly took a gun to school in his backpack and went on a murderous rampage.
The high school remains closed. Elementary and middle schools briefly re-opened after the shooting…until threats on social media forced officials to cancel classes through the holidays.
Now superintendent Tim Throne says middle and high school students must carry see-through backpacks.
"We have therapy dogs in all the buildings…we have counselors scheduled in all the buildings, trauma specialists scheduled in all the buildings as well as private security in all the buildings."
Several survivors of the shooting filed 100-million-dollar lawsuits, charging officials should have done more once Crumbley appeared disturbed.

Q: What's an idiom/word for "complaining despite having it good"? I am writing a blog post where I complain about something others may see as a favorable situation: I am getting too many unannounced phone calls with job offers. They come during work hours and interrupt my concentration, though.
So, in my post, I am asking recruiters to shoot me an e-mail first. I am trying to be polite there, so I'd like to say a more elegant version of "I know I'm complaining despite having it good, but..."
I have heard the term "First World Problems" in this context, but that don't fit exactly here.
What's a nice word or idiom to describe this situation?

A: Grouse -- ODO

(verb)  Complain about something trivial; grumble
she heard him grousing about his assistant
(noun) A complaint or grumble
our biggest grouse was about the noise of construction work

Today I visited the Cycle Square Kitasando as part of my ongoing research about this and that in Tokyo. To cut a long story short, this is basically a cafe/restaurant around a cycling theme with some extras. If you go there as a (serious road) cyclist, you might be a little bit disappointed as this is not so different from thousands of other places within Tokyo and the bikes on the wall look somewhat forcefully placed. But nevertheless I found it a nice, sunny and spacey place and I hang around forever with my netbook and wrote the previous post. It wasn't crowded at all, the tables were big and the food and drinks were OK, although on the expensive side.
The highlight hang on the wall of the toilet.
Only open until January next year.


← Does the Brain Injury Prove Abuse, or Not?
The support group for convicted father Clayton Allison in Alaska has posted a disturbing video that not only reveals the heartless tactics employed by police investigators but also showcases the extraordinary strength of Clayton's wife Christiane, who seems to have been the only honest person in the room during her interrogation.
From the beginning, Christiane Allison says, she believed her husband's report that he had accidentally left the baby gate open, allowing their 15-month-old daughter Jocelynn to fall down the stairs. Based on medical opinion, Clayton was convicted of second degree murder this past February, and sentenced last week to 30 years in prison.
The interrogation was conducted in January of 2009, four months after the incident, when the police called the child's mother to the station to tell her that the medical examiner had declared Jocelynn's death a homicide. In the video, two state troopers are trying to convince Christiane, 22 years old at the time, to call her husband immediately, on a secretly taped line, and ask him what really happened that day.
"Either you're on the side of Jocelynn or you're on the side of Clayton," one officer explains, insisting that Christiene look at the autopsy photos and mocking her statements that she loves her daughter.
Since Jocelynn's death, her mother has been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.
"Clayton has been lying to you every day since September," the interrogator sneers. "The fact that Clayton makes love to you knowing he did this to your daughter, that's deception," and she thrusts in Christiane's face a color glossy from the autopsy that shows the skin of the girl's face peeled back and bunched up under her chin.
The video is just short of 34 minutes long and well worth watching, available on the Free Clayton Allison web site and on YouTube. What I find chilling is the troopers' willingness to treat a grieving mother with such callous contempt. Christiane Allison was not home the day of the incident. She was never a suspect. But the police were sure her husband had been lying to her—because that's what the doctors told them—and because she believed her husband, the troopers were willing to accuse, berate, and taunt her for four hours, while she didn't change her story by an inch. Do the doctors know how the police conduct these interrogations? Do they care?
Of course watching the video reminds me of Scenes of a Crime, the award-winning film that eventually led to the release of Adrian Thomas in New York.
The outpouring of support for the Allison family echoes other movements that have been springing up in child head-injury cases—on behalf of Joshua and Brenda Burns in Michigan, for example, and Melissa Calusinski in Illinois. I'm discouraged because the convictions continue, but I'm encouraged because defense groups continue to seek relief for those in prison—as in the cases of Albert Omenged Debelbot and Ashley Deone Debelbot in Georgia, Leo Ackley in Michigan, Jeffrey Havard in Mississippi, and many others, including but not limited to Brian Peixoto and Amanda Brumfield.
I hope the families and communities affected by these misguided accusations will keep speaking up, and that they'll start connecting with others in the same position. I encourage anyone who has personal experience with the misdiagnoses of physical child abuse to look into the Protecting Innocent Families petition at http://bit.ly/InnocentFamilyPetition and its companion web site.
If you are not familiar with the debate surrounding shaken baby theory, please see the home page of this site.
That's needlessly charitable. Their job – the result for which they are rewarded – is not to find truth but to find (or create) evidence to lead to a conviction.
Sue you are doing a wonderful job, making this information available.
I wonder if your followers realise that all crimes against people, as well as some crime against property are investigated the same way, with abusive investigation means, that frequently get false confessions.
That interrogation was horrible to watch and I agree that she showed amazing poise and conviction during such a traumatic event.
I would be interested to know if she supports her husband today.
The women that conducted the interrogation were absolutely heartless, callous, horrible creatures.
I hope this video is viewed by many, because even though she was not the suspect, it gives you a pretty good idea of their tactics.
Thank you kindly for mentioning Jeff Havard's case. Finally, he is on the positive side of the isle!
As always, I love this blog!
Yes, she does still support her husband. Myself, I imagine she would be more loyal to him than ever after an interrogation like that one. The police were clearly not investigating anything, only trying to collect a statement that would help them nail their man.
I totally agree. I am glad she believes in her husband. As if a fall down the stairs cannot cause AHT/TBI. I am still sickened by watching that interrogation. A fishing expedition in the most horrific manner. As a recent death row exoneree stated, "The deck is already stacked". I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers, hoping for his relief. I will also hope Karma bites those detectives.

Looking to get started with creating skills for Amazon Alexa? Here's an overview of the interaction model and how to get started.
We now have 4 Amazon Echo devices in the house, and, inspired by a demo LornaJane gave me at DPC, I have decided to write some skills for it. This article covers what I learned in order to get my first Swift skill working.
Our bins are collected by the council every other week; one week it's the green recycling bin and the other week, it's the black waste bin. Rather than looking it up, I want to ask Alexa which bin I should put out this week.
Firstly, you need an Echo, so go buy one, set it up, and have fun! When you get bored of that, it's time to create a skill.
Start by registering on the Amazon Developer Portal. I signed in and then had to fill out a form with information that I thought Amazon already knew about me. Accept the terms and then you end up on the dashboard. Click on the "Alexa" link and then click on the "Alexa Skills Kit" to get to the page where you can add a new skill. On this page, you'll find the "Add a New Skill" button.
I selected a "Custom Interaction Model", in "English (U.K)". Rather unimaginatively I've called my first skill "Bin Day" with an Invocation Name of "Bin Day" too. Pressing "Save" and then "Next" takes us to the "Interaction Model" page. This is the page where we tell Alexa how someone will speak to us and how to interpret it.
The documentation comes in handy from this point forward!
A skill has a set of intents which are the actions that we can do and each intent can optionally have a number of slots which are the arguments to the action.
An utterance is a phrase that is linked to an intent, so that Alexa knows which intent the user means. The utterance phrase can have some parts marked as slots which are named so that they can be passed to you, such as a name, number, day of the week, etc.
My first intent is very simple; it just tells me the colour of the next bin to be put out on the road. I'll call it NextBin and it does't need any other information, so there are no slots required.
Give it a name: NextBin & click "Create Intent"
"The color of the next bin"
I then saved the model again and then pressed the "Build Model" button in the header section. This took a while!
Click "Configuration" in the header to continue setting up the skill.
At its heart, a skill is simply an API. Alexa is the HTTP client and sends a JSON POST request to our API and we need to respond with a JSON payload. Amazon really want you to use AWS Lambda, but that's not very open, so I'm going to use Apache OpenWhisk, hosted on Bluemix.
The Configuration page allows us to pick our endpoint, so I clicked on "HTTPS" and then entered the endpoint for my API into the box for North America as Bluemix doesn't yet provide OpenWhisk in a European region.
Once entered, you can press Next and then have to set the certificate information. As I'm on OpenWhisk on Bluemix, I selected "My development endpoint is a sub-domain of a domain that has a wildcard certificate from a certificate authority".
The Developer page for the skill has a "Test" section which you enable and can then type in some text and send it to your endpoint to get it all working. This is convenient as we can then log the response we are sent and develop locally using curl. All we need to do now is develop the API!
I'm not going to go into how to develop the OpenWhisk action in this post – that can wait for another one. We will, however, look at the data we receive and what we need to respond with.
You should probably check that the applicationId matches the ID in the "Skill Information" page on the Alexa developer portal as you only want to respond if it's what you expect.
The request is where the interesting information is. Specifically, we want to read the intent's name as that tells us what the user wants to do. The slots object then gives us the list of arguments, if any.
"text": "Put out the green bin next"
For production, we will need to compile the Swift before we upload, but this is fine for testing. The Service Simulator now works and so we can get it onto an Echo!
To test on an Echo, you need to have registered on the developer portal using the same email address as the one that your Echo is registered with. I didn't do this as my Echo is registered with my personal email address, not the one I use for dev work.
To get around this, I used the Beta testing system. To enable beta testing you need to fill in the "Publishing Information" and "Privacy & Compliance" sections for your skill.
For Publishing Information you need to fill in all field and provide two icons. I picked a picture of a friend's cat. Choosing a category was easy enough: Utilities, but none of the sub categories fit, but you have to pick one anyway! Once you fill out the rest of the info, you go onto the Privacy & Compliance questions that also need answering.
The "Beta Test Your Skill" button should now be enabled. You can invite up to 500 amazon accounts to beta test your skill. I added the email address of my personal account as that's the one registered with my Echo. We also have some Echos registered to my wife's email address, so I will be adding her soon.
Click "Start Test" and your testers should get an email. There's also a URL you can use directly which is what I did and this link allowed me to add BinDay to my Echo.
To prove it works, here's a video!
That's all the steps required to make an Alexa skill. In another post, I'll talk about how I built the real set of actions that run this skill.


THE WORLD athletics championships in Daegu combined triumph and frustration for Team GB & Northern Ireland as the nation enjoyed one of its most successful championships.
Gold medal successes for the superb Mo Farah and Dai Greene have been billed as springboards for success in London next year, while mildly disappointing silvers for Jessica Ennis and Phillips Idowu will be utilised as warnings against any complacencies or deficiencies ahead of the Olympics.
Farah's triumph in the 5,000m deserves to be remembered as one of the highlights of the competition coming as it did just a week after he was pipped to 10,000m gold by Ethiopia's Ibrahim Jeilan.
The Somali-born Londoner channelled his 10,000m frustration into his assault on the 5,000m and was able to hold off the challenge of America's Bernard Lagat and Ethiopia's Imane Merga to cross the line first in a time of 13 minutes, 23.26 seconds.
Some wondered how European champion Farah would cope when pitting himself against the East African long-distance masters in intense competition but his move to Oregon earlier this year to work with coach Alberto Salazar has drawn greater performances from the ever-smiling Farah.
Welsh hurdler Dai Greene overcame two aborted starts in the 400m hurdles final to blow away stiff competition from Puerto Rico's Javier Culson and South Africa's LJ Van Zyl to claim gold in 48.26 seconds.
Greene was the least celebrated of Britain's gold medal hopefuls arriving in Daegu, a curious situation given his position as reigning European and Commonwealth Champion.
Not that he is low on self-belief. Greene predicted his own triumph and intends to claim another gilded finish in Stratford.
Greene and Farah's golds offset the sprint frustrations of Christine Ohuruogu and Dwain Chambers, who were disqualified for false-starts, and the failure of any other Brit to make the final of an individual sprint event in Daegu.
A desertion of luck saw Britain's 4x100m relay team drop the baton in their final, while a heartbroken Tiffany Porter, who ran a British record 12.56 seconds in her 100m hurdles semi-final, clipped the penultimate hurdle in the final to finish outside the medals.
Solace was provided by the successes Andy Turner and Hannah England. Turner was awarded a bittersweet bronze in the 110m hurdles when world record holder Dayron Robles was stripped of his gold for touching the 2007 world champion Liu Xiang.
Of the four British silvers in Daegu only Hannah England's in the 1,500m was greeted enthusiastically.
The 24-year-old, competing in her first global championships, found herself penned in until her storming finish took her past Spain's Natalia Rodriguez into second place. England was gaining on American gold medallist Jennifer Barringer Simpson but finish line bestowed silver upon the shocked but ecstatic Oxford native.
If England surprised onlookers with her silver, Jessica Ennis and Phillips Idowu were reminded of the hard work that lies ahead if they are to fulfil their Olympic ambitions.
The 2009 World Champion heptathlete Ennis was reminded that beating your nearest opponent in five of seven events is futile if you perform as badly as she did in the javelin to hand Russia's Tatyana Chernova gold.
The Sheffield athlete's 6,751 points beat her gold-winning performance in 2009 and logged her third-best career performance but still fell short of her Russian opponent. Nonetheless Ennis has it in her armoury to usurp Chernova next summer.
A more daunting prospect awaits Idowu, who relinquished his world triple-jump title. The 32-year-old twice beat his season's best in Daegu, taking the lead with 17.77m, but had to settle for silver behind American 21-year-old Christian Taylor, who leaped a masterful 17.96m.
Idowu, who had emerged from the shadow of compatriot Jonathan Edwards and Sweden's Christian Olsson in the 2000s, now finds himself up against an improving youngster who appears to have an 18-metre jump in his locker.
Team GB & Northern Ireland claimed seven medals and to finish a respectable seventh in the final medals table behind the traditional athletics powerhouses. Their haul met the target set by head coach Charles van Commenee and augurs well for next year's Olympics.
Indeed, with better luck and renewed application the London Games could prove even more successful for Britain's track and field hopefuls.

Stages sit dark as US performance world struggles with cancelled seasons
Source: AFP Published: 2020/10/18 16:48:40
Recent weeks have seen the already painful situation facing live performances in the US grow increasingly dire, with major companies along with Broadway somberly scrapping hope to reopen before the summer of 2021 and scrambling to find ways to stay in the public eye.
New York's Metropolitan Opera was the first top outfit to cancel its entire 2020-21 season over the coronavirus pandemic, followed by the highly bankable Broadway theater district and the city's famed Philharmonic symphony.

Across the nation company directors are facing similar decisions, with the Boston Symphony Orchestra following the lead of its New York neighbors.
Elsewhere many organizations are still aiming to open in January 2021 as they pilot ways to stay fresh and avoid falling into the red - but the future appears grim.
Many companies have already budgeted for a season sans spectators in a country where the coronavirus caseload continues to add about 40,000 new infections daily.
Seattle anticipates a loss of $6 million in revenue, as New York's Phil estimates to lose $20 million and the Philadelphia Orchestra more than $25 million.
"I always have hope, but I think it is going to be very unlikely we're going to do anything in front of live audiences anytime soon," said Matias Tarnopolsky, the director in Philadelphia.
The pandemic has forced layoffs, furloughs and pay cuts across the performing arts, as organizations including the Phil and the Met are bargaining with unions to adapt musicians' contracts to the financial challenges of the moment.
Government subsidies are not the norm for US orchestras and operas, which rely on donations and wealthy patrons, and to a smaller extent ticket sales, to pay bills and keep endowments robust.
"If the fundraising holds we should be able to make it to the summer, but we still have a very large fundraising goal," said Kristina Murti, the Seattle Opera's communications head.
"It's always stressful to raise a lot of money," she said, especially in an already gloomy economy.
Join the circus
But companies have by no means given up on offering content, most of it virtual, some of it free and all of it breaking new ground.
The Atlanta Opera - which months ago canceled its 2019-20 season and postponed the following performance slate by a full year - has devised a unique fall series that will see live performances of Pagliacci and The Kaiser of Atlantis under a circus tent on a baseball field starting on Thursday.
Tickets in the southern city will be sold as four-person socially distanced "pods," welcoming up to 240 people per show. Singers will perform behind plexiglass or wear face coverings, and all patrons must wear masks and get temperature checks.
Tomer Zvulun, the Atlanta Opera's general and artistic director, said the company has already sold nearly $100,000 in tickets.
But he emphasized the move was less about money - in April the company slashed its $10 million budget by 34 percent and like everyone else, anticipates losses - and more about adapting their art to a society in distress.
"As artists we are nimble enough, we are desperate enough, we are committed enough to find a way to do what we do best and connect with a community."
"We all are very grateful for those handheld devices and TVs, but there is no replacement for live performance."
The Phil meanwhile launched an outdoor Bandwagon series, with small ensembles playing on city street corners, as the Los Angeles Opera showcased its singers lulling their own children to sleep with bedtime songs.
Tarnopolsky sees silver linings in the struggle, saying virtual content additions "are changes that will last far beyond the current pandemic and be part of the orchestra's offering forever."
Still, fewer shows and reduced rehearsals have been tough on musicians themselves, who are grappling with salary cuts and limited modes to cultivate their art.
"I have a lot of concern about musicians leaving the field because the situation is so difficult," said Simon Woods, who heads the League of American Orchestras, which represents some 700 organizations.
Maxim Moston - a violinist who regularly performed on Broadway, most recently for the musical Moulin Rouge - is worried about New York's future as an artistic nerve center.
"People can't afford to pay New York City rents while sitting around and waiting for it to be safe for them to practice their professions and their passions," he said.
His family owns their apartment which provides some relief - but at a certain point enough might prove enough.
"I think that many of us, myself included, haven't truly faced that reality yet," Moston said.
"I'm hanging on, waiting for a miracle to come."

HomeNews N ViewsHey United Opposition, Howz Life?
The warm up exercises to 2019 have been flop show for the United Opposition Gang so far and shall continue.
Gorakhpur: Fake Hero Dr. Khan who went into hiding was apprehended by the Police in a matter of days.
Ram Ram Rahim Verdict: Only to realise that it was ABV when this case was registered and in NaMo era the case has reached a logical end.
Now Gauri Murder: None want CBI enquiry for fear of truth coming out.Truth has the knack of surfacing.
So let me ask aloud. HOWZZ LIFEEE???
Oh it's quite dull. No one listening. Well this will continue and time to pack your bag and baggage. Everyone is in hurry to make some quick buck along with some two minute fame. Dr Khan of BRD Hospital was made a HERO in no time.
Thank God Modiji has not converted entire system into Digital India. Else these people are capable of Announcing, Printing and even giving a Bharat Ratna on their own. Dr. Khan arranged oxygen cylinders, Dr. Khan in tears seeing the kids, Dr Khan this .. Dr Khan that. When Advocate IP Patel was tweeting facts, none showed guts to send their OB Van and cover the story.
Son of a School Headmaster became a terrorist as there was no employment. Dr Khan became killer for what? I have the answer. He became a killer by misusing government infrastructure and resources as the patients at disposal were poor and have no where to go. It's a blessing in disguise. Many more doctors out there and in other hospitals will be taken to task for taking the treatment of the poor too casually.
Ram Rahim Verdict: One thing is there, Ornab will not change. He had to make a grand re-entry and he did it in style. But his dirty habit of screaming has gone from bad to worst. I stopped watching him during Times Now days and now it was a restricted one minute that I spend on few news channel to see the headlines. It suits Amitabh Bachchan in Zanzeer talking to Pran in the Police Station. Not anchors. Anyway, the main agenda was CM's resignation. What an effort.
Have these people ever thought that a day is just around the corner when citizens will hit the streets asking for their resignation and for their arrests. Just because you are so called journalist or an anchor for a news channel that has few lacs viewership doesn't mean you just start spreading rumour. After Judiciary and Police, this is one delicate profession to be in. What you say and do has a direct impact on the society. And if this doesn't improve, it will lead to peaceful protests from law abiding citizens. Not only Ornob, so many from this profession need to make a confession about their loyalty. A murder is a murder. Why one journalist gets attention and rest in some other part of India don't get? One murder in UP gets attention but other brutal murder in Kerala and West Bengal doesn't get the same airtime?
Now Gauri murder in Karnataka. I am yet to come across someone in my circle who knows this journalist. Anyway, popularity aside, all those blaming BJP and RSS should give an undertaking that they have concrete evidence of BJP and RSS role in her murder. Hit and run suits Kejriwal. But looks like rest of the opposition has taken this time tested weapon from Kejriwal. It's a very dangerous weapon. I mean it. Look at his condition with defamation cases. Time BJP and RSS most respectfully sends a legal notice to each one of these United Opposition Gang members and ask them to furnish evidence.
2019 is BJP again. United Opposition started with Suit book ki Sarkar, see where have they landed. There is no future with hate as the agenda. If you want to pursue tragedy tourism then please adopt it whole heartedly. It should not be restricted to BJP ruled states. By doing so you may retain one or two seats from 44 if not more.
Hey United Opposition Gang here is your opportunity. Without any prejudice, meet this family. Help them with all possible legal support if you can. If all that is not possible, please ask Rahul ji to call for a press conference and lend moral support to the victim family.
Exclusive and Breaking first has become a joke. We are not here to give medals. We want to consume news, the way it is. Without announcing who is guilty, who should resign and who should be rewarded. Let people, judiciary and government deal with it. This whole business of media has to change. Instead of claiming Exclusive or Impact, say CERTIFIED TRUE.


Love it or loathe it, the divisive holiday that is St Valentine's Day is upon us once more. Rather than convince you to treat your nearest and dearest to a petrol station bouquet or a Milk Tray, we've focused our efforts on celebrating something far more important - all the things there are to love about being self-employed.
Freelance life can have the occasional downside (the Self Assessment deadline might still be fresh in your memory), but there are still so many wonderful upsides to running your own business. Here are some of the best things about working for yourself - which one is your favourite?
While your office-dwelling 9-5 counterparts wrestle with the daily commute, your workspace is completely flexible. Your living room, kitchen, office, local cafe, or even favourite country - work happens wherever you open your laptop.
When you work for yourself, you're fully in charge of your own workload, growth and development. Putting in extra hours when the going gets tough is paid back by the flexibility to take extended holidays, and if you want to upskill, you don't need to ask permission to take time out to learn something new. You're the boss!
We recently asked what your favourite things about self-employment are on Facebook, and some of the answers included: 'Knowing I can give my clients my undivided attention, and that I can structure my day as I want to', 'Freedom and flexibility' and 'Sitting in my pants whilst I work'. When you work for yourself, you make the rules, you set the hours, and you decide the uniform (even if that uniform happens to be your pants).


Pretty brief installed (processed) after the downloading updates and restarting FS Protection.
Probably "upgrade-process from previous TP build to fresh TP" just take around five minutes.
But what certain changes with "unknown-content" (except another string from release-notes) category?
--> Before current fresh TP (or around this days) I transferred some unrated URLs to F-Secure SAS.
--> Pages rated as safe.
On current day - some of them (and with FS Protection installation) will be blocked as unknown-content (content blocker with checked option). Tips to clear orsp-cache maybe not totally valid (at least - I can to found already just orspdiag64, which work for clear-cache - but situation not changed).
So - I able to see that F-Secure Search, other devices and stable F-Secure SAFE mark this pages as safe-rated. And I able to open pages.
But with my try to access for this pages (with FS Protection) prevented by blocking them as unknown-content (unrated page).


Iron is an important mineral that is necessary for optimal functioning of the body. It plays an important role in making of your red blood cells. It is a major component of blood protein hemoglobin (a substance in your red blood cells), which is an essential protein for transport of oxygen and several nutrients to each and every cell of the body. Without red blood cells, your body cannot get oxygen in sufficient amount.This mineral enhances transport of oxygen and is necessary for proper metabolism for several organs. It also prevents energy slumps and prevents fatigue. Iron rich foods help to build your blood healthy and muscle strong. There are two types of this mineral: Heme and Non-Heme distinguished according to the source.
Though the importance of this nutrient is not unheard, iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency especially in vegetarians, children and, pregnant women. The fall of this mineral levels reduces the hemoglobin in the blood. Its deficiency can cause anemia, fatigue, and drowsiness. It also decreases your immunity and can even cause premature baby delivery. Too little iron can also take away the glow of your skin and make you feel short of breath. Pronounced symptom of this deficiency includes brittle nails, restless leg and, irregular illness. Even you would take more time to recover post workout. Babies' rapidly developing blood supply requires more of this essential mineral. The consumption of this mineral also varies according to age and condition, such as pregnant women or a woman trying to conceive require more amount of this essential component than others. In childhood, both boys and girls need an equal amount of Iron. But when they grow up, an adequate amount of this iron is really essential for the girls as their menstrual period become heavier and regular. Pregnant women and breastfeeding women do need this nutrient most, in either diet form or supplement. Even significant blood loss after an accident or major surgery can lead to loss of this nutrient.
Iron rich foods are and should be an essential part of any diet. Our food list will help you increase your mineral intake, without gagging on any artificial or unhealthy method. There are many Iron Supplements available but Iron Rich Foods are the safest way to consume this important mineral. The foods on our list don't lead to or ask for any dramatic change in your food pattern, they can simply be included in your daily healthy diet. Our array of products includes prune juice, sunflower seeds, bamboo rice, wheat pasta and much more. These foods can be a crucial part of vegan and vegetarians diet and should be included in the diet of pregnant women or children depending on their requirement.
Pump some Iron in your diet by including these Iron rich foods, especially if you are expecting.


Home of the Golden Fez!!
The establishing of Ahmed Temple #37 has helped in creating a positive presence in the Tallahassee community and echoes throughout the Desert Of Florida and beyond. Unity amongst African-Americans reflecting different walks of life is the work of God and reflects true brotherly love. The beginning or alpha of Ahmed Temple#37 in August of 1956, began with Noble Joe Thurman as the charter Illustrious Potentate, Chief Rabban was George Jackson, and Assistant Rabban was secured by Oscar J. Chestnut. The temples' early years were surrounded by a social climate that was identified with racial and political tension. Tallahassee, Florida was not excluded from the racial tension and chaos. Protest, rallies, and boycotts were no stranger to the Oasis of Tallahassee. Ahmed Temple# 37 withstood the social tension and emerged as a pillar in the community. Despite social and political obstacles the Nobles of Ahmed Temple #37 made their mark on many venues relating to Shrinedom.
The Oasis of Tallahassee was host to Florida's Gala Day Celebrations in 1965, 1971and 1993. Nobles of Ahmed Temple#37 have also hosted the Desert of Florida Conference in 1989 with Ahmed Court #134 serving as co-host. In the year 2006 Ahmed Temple served as hosts for the Florida-Georgia Shriners connection. We hosted it again in 2008 which was widely considered the best ever. Ahmed Temple#37 records its birth in the year of 1956 and remains strong thru present day times.
