Dordogne | Cave Art
The caves of the Dordogne Valley are home to one of the earliest, and most extraordinary, displays of human creativity. Wild animals and human figures, some up to 30,000 years old, are vividly brought to life in - daubed in ochre and charcoal and etched on cave walls
Dr Paul Bahn (June) and Dr Iain Morley (September) tell the story of the art, its discovery and what is known of the people who created it — the first true ‘old masters’, caught in the extreme cold of the last Ice Age. We will visit some of the world-famous rock-art sites - taking you as close as is possible to the lives of our remotest Ice-Age ancestors.
- Small group tours led by experts in rock art and the archaeology of the last Ice Age - Dr Paul Bahn and Dr Iain Morley
- We have specially booked access to unique and increasingly difficult to see Paleolithic art
- Extended itinerary taking in both the verdant landscapes and limestone plateaux of the Dordogne and Poitiers

Travel by Eurostar and TGV to Brive, and transfer to our hotel in Les Eyzies.
We begin our journey at Bernifal cave to see its wonderful depictions of mammoths. We continue to the rock shelter at Cap Blanc, a rare example of Ice Age sculpted bas-reliefs and the best still in situ which are open to the public. Travel by electric train into the cave system of Rouffignac, more than five miles long. About one-third of all mammoth depictions known from cave art come from this cave.
Our morning is spent viewing the complete facsimile of the world famous painted cave at Lascaux IV, long since closed to the public. This is the most famous and spectacular of all decorated caves, with hundreds of paintings and 1,500 engravings, best-known for its awe inspiring depictions of aurochs, horses and deer. Continue to the park at Le Thot, where animals which would have been extant in the Ice Age are bred and kept. We take a short drive to Font-de-Gaume, the only decorated cave in France with multi-coloured paintings which remains open to the public.
We drive to the fascinating site of Laugerie Haute, with remains of occupation dating from the Upper Palaeolithic. Onto the small rock shelter known as Abri du Poisson, famed for the bas-relief of a male salmon across the ceiling, more than 1m in length, and once painted red. We continue to Le Moustier, site of several Neanderthal burials. Returning to Les Eyzies we visit the excavations at Abri Pataud where archaeologists have been attempting to trace artistic progress through the millennia. End the day at the new Cro-Magnon Museum.
We travel south towards Gourdon to see two geologically beautiful caves decorated by both humans, and nature.
Our first visit is to Cougnac which contains the claw-marks of cave bears.
We also see paintings of mammoths, ibex, human type figures and three megaloceros, many of which take advantage of the natural shapes of the cave wall. Continue to Pech Merle, with painted black outline aurochs, mammoth, spotted-horses, geometric shapes and hand prints.
Visit La Chaire à Calvin, a rock shelter with frieze dating back around 15,000 years. Evidence of rhinoceros, red deer, auroch and many other animals has been found here, along with bone and stone tools. We move on to the Lussac Museum of Prehistory.
We spend our final day viewing the excellent facsimile at Angles sur-l’Anglin, one of the greatest sculpted friezes from the Ice Age, with several life-size ibex, and, very unusually, several human females, as well as bison, horses and cats. We end our programme of visits with an afternoon at the Museum at Pressigny.
If time allows we will visit Poitiers Museum before boarding our train to Paris and then home.
We travel by train to the historic city of Poitiers. After lunch, we drive to Angles-sur-l'Anglin and visit the impressive Upper Paleolithic facsimile at Roc-aux-Sorciers.
Our adventure begins in Lussac-les-Chateaux, where we visit the fantastic La Sabline Museum of Prehistory and its wealth of exhibits. From here, we tour the Roc-de-Sers and then move on to La Chaire a Calvin, which is a rock shelter that takes its name from a local legend and boasts a frieze dating back around 15,000 years. Evidence of rhinoceri and tools crafted from bone and stone have been discovered here over the years.
We begin at the fascinating site of Laugerie Haute, where remains of occupation date from the Upper Paleolithic period. Objects made from bone, two human skeletons and countless tools helped to confirm this. Returning to Les Eyzies, we visit Abri du Poisson and then the excavations at Abri Pataud, where archaeologists are tracing artistic progress through the millennia. Later, we visit Musee de l'Abri Cro-Magnon, where the first burial of modern man was discovered. Then, while in the area, we also take time to visit the rock shelter at Cap Blanc, which is a rare example of Ice Age-sculpted bas-reliefs and still the best in situ.
This morning, we will view the complete facsimile of the world-famous painted cave, which has long since closed to the public, at Lascaux IV in the company of our expert guide, who will illuminate the paintings further. This revered cave boasts hundreds of paintings and around 1,500 engravings, and is best known for its depictions of aurochs, horses and deer. Later, we tour the park at Le Thot, which is dedicated to the Cro-Magnon period of history. We will also explore the Le Moustier archaeological site before returning to our hotel.
Today we travel into the cave system at Grotte de Rouffignac, which is more than five miles in length and was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site back in 1979. One third of all mammoth depictions known to have appeared in cave art come from this very location. After exploring this area, we drive to Font-de-Gaume, which is the only decorated cave in France with polychrome paintings that remains open to the public, and we end the day with a visit to the Musee de Prehistoire.
Our first visit of the day will be to the magnificent caves of Cougnac, which contain the claw marks of cave bears. The prehistoric images here depict human figures, including a wounded man, along with ibex and large cervids. From here, we continue on to Pech Merle, which has authentic cave paintings that date back over 20,000 years. We will be able to see significantly well-preserved examples of aurochs, mammoth, bison, stags' heads, spotted horses, geometric shapes and even handprints at this unique location. The Pech Merle cave was rightly listed as a historical monument back in 1952 and it has been open to the public since 1926.
Today we bid farewell to our group and make our way back to London.

Objective Gastrointestinal-specific anxiety (GSA) and alexithymia are two psychological constructs that may contribute to severity of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). We aimed to investigate their independent contribution in predicting the level of severity in a group of patients with moderate to severe IBS.
Method A sample of 177 consecutive IBS patients (49.2% with moderate and 50.8% with severe IBS), diagnosed with Rome III criteria, were evaluated for IBS symptoms, alexithymia, GSA, psychological distress, and psychosocial functioning with validated scales.
Results IBS severity was highly associated to both alexithymia (r = 0.61) and GSA (r = 0.66), that were also associated to each other (r = 0.64). Severe IBS patients scored significantly different than moderate IBS patients to all scales in the expected direction. Multiple and hierarchical regression analyses showed that IBS severity was predicted at a similar degree by alexithymia and GSA, controlled for IBS symptoms, psychological distress, and psychosocial functioning. Effect sizes showed that the highest IBS severity scores were obtained by patients with high alexithymia alone (d = 1.16) or combined with higher GSA (d = 1.45).
Conclusion Alexithymia and GSA were closely related to each other and associated to IBS severity, thus suggesting a common basis of emotional dysregulation. However, alexithymia (particularly the facets of difficulty identifying and describing feelings) resulted to be a stronger predictor of IBS severity than GSA, thus suggesting that impaired affective awareness may reflect on the clinical manifestations of IBS.

Your CBD products are only as good as their components, and CBD analytical testing is the best way to ensure you’re getting a high-quality CBD product that lives up to its billing. Testing helps make sure that you are getting the CBD concentration you’re promised, and that you’re avoiding pollutants that could inhibit your CBD or make it unsafe. Testing CBD for THC is also a vital part of ensuring you’re compliant with laws that regulate where and when you can use higher-THC products.
Cannabis And Cannabinoids
Both industrial hemp and marijuana are variants of the cannabis plant. For many years they were lumped together as a single plant type and listed as a controlled substance under US law. With the 2018 Farm Bill, industrial hemp was finally separated from its illicit cousin, finally clarifying the federal legality of industrial hemp products, including hemp oil and CBD oil derived from industrial plants. Along with its descheduling, however, came new regulations limiting industrial hemp to 0.3% THC concentration. CBD analytical testing, already important to health-conscious users, became vital.
Like THC, the psychoactive component of marijuana, CBD is a cannabinoid. It works on the endocannabinoid system in the human body to produce certain reactions. Along with CBD, cannabis also contains terpenes, some of which are thought to have beneficial effects for people who use cannabis to promote better health and overall wellness. Beyond just testing for THC in CBD, analytical testing quantifies the terpenes present in a sample so consumers can be better informed about the results they can expect.
Keeping It Safe
Another reason for lab scrutiny is to limit pollutants that may be present in CBD oil. Pesticides and chemical fertilizers can cause health problems if ingested. While it’s always a good idea to use a product derived from naturally grown hemp, many producers don’t know the providence of their raw plant, and if they do, can’t know what may have been sprayed on neighboring fields and been caught in an air current.
In addition, some manufacturers rush the CBD oil extraction process. This can leave traces of solvents in the finished oil. While some may be harmless, others can have catastrophic consequences. Analytical testing of CBD oil can help spot these potentially harmful chemicals before they’re consumed ensuring that both growers and manufacturers are releasing safe, quality products to the public.
Just as with humans, cannabis can become infected. Microbes can be a dangerous addition to any natural supplement. The formation of mold is also a danger when dealing with raw plants transported in bulk over long distances. Screening for organic contaminants should be part of any CBD analytical testing model.
Luckily, laboratories have a range of options when testing your CBD for THC, determining its levels of terpenes, or making sure it has avoided contaminants. A wide array of tests can be used to provide a full accounting of the components that go into your CBD. By using industry best practices, like manufacturing in food-grade facilities on pharmaceutical-grade equipment, and the most advanced CBD analytical testing methods, consumers are protected, informed, and have more confidence in the emerging cannabis industry.
Common Testing Methods
Chromatography – Chromatography is a broad range of tests that share a common goal even though they may accomplish that goal through a variety of means: to separate a solution into its component parts and quantify them. Many of the tests involving cannabinoids rely on some type of chromatography. Because CBD oil is stable in a liquid formulation, a type of liquid chromatography is often used as a CBD analytical testing method to verify the concentration of CBD as well as THC.
To perform this test, the sample is forced through a tube that contains another medium that binds to certain parts of the CBD solution. This separates individual cannabinoids as they travel through a tube, slowing them at different rates before they are observed by a sensing apparatus. This gives separate data for each cannabinoid, and the concentration can be verified. Other substances, like some terpenes, may undergo gas chromatography analytical CBD testing as they are suspended in solution as gas molecules rather than liquid.
Mass Spectrometry – This widely used test separates ions based on their mass to charge ratio. It’s extremely popular across many industries. Particles are passed through magnetic fields that “sort” them so a concentration can be measured.
Electron Capture – This method is used in conjunction with gas chromatography to sense organic compounds.
Microbial Analysis – This is a broad term for several methods used to find small organisms like mold, yeast, and some bacteria.
Once CBD analytical testing is complete, the results should be available to customers. While a company should maintain its own testing standards, if the testing is done in-house, they should also make sure their results are verified by an independent lab. This prevents bias and helps the entire process be as transparent as possible. This is especially important when testing CBD for THC, as it touches on a legal requirement, and it serves both the manufacturers, growers, and users to have verifiable proof of their CBD’s components.
Setting The Standard For The CBD Industry
The CBD industry is quickly changing, and regulatory efforts are struggling to keep up. It’s vital that manufacturers hold themselves to the highest possible standards in order to promote a safe, reliable, legal cannabis culture. That’s why we’ve chosen to use only naturally grown industrial hemp from United States growers we can count on. We extract our CBD in a medical-grade facility in Colorado using state-of-the-art machines. Finally, we use independent labs for CBD analytical testing to ensure your product is safe and THC-free, then we make the certificates of analysis available to anyone who wants to see our verified results.
You shouldn’t have to guess what goes into your CBD products, so don’t. Order the highest quality CBD products available from Core CBD today.

Off the back of the release of their debut EP Midnight Loser, local alternative rock four-piece Waterdogs brought ’90s vibes to Pharmacia.
Local group Waterdogs are one of Limerick’s brightest musical prospects. Leaving their most recent local performance in Pharmacia on Friday, December 1, it’s safe to say Waterdogs are on the up-and-up.
A collaboration with local radio station Wired FM, Waterdogs hosted an evening ranging from soft, lyrically dense folk, to headbanging rock. With support from Annie Cheevers, The Luminesc, and Misvanity, the evening was a perfect storm of talent from near and afar.
First to take the stage was Boston native Annie Cheevers. An unexpectedly understated but welcome opener considering the acts that followed, Annie’s folk sound was a hit with the captivated Pharmacia crowd. Ebbing and flowing through a set of deeply personal songs, Annie had an uncharacteristically stripped-back instrumental backing.
Despite usually playing with a full band, two subtly interplaying electric guitars accompanied Annie’s fantastic vocals on the night. A highlight from Annie‘s set was her closing song, with the working title of ‘Eyes on the Horizon’, it capped off a stellar set of lyrically driven indie-folk perfect for the chilly weather on the night.
Cork based four-piece The Luminesc were next up on the night, drastically changing the energy of the night. With a brand of Queens of the Stoneage-esque hard rock, The Luminesc thoroughly reset any sense of serenity Annie Cheevers may have left the audience with.
With a small group moshing at the front, The Luminesc played a set of high energy, musically complex, and riff heavy tunes, with soaring vocals akin to ’90s grunge heroes like Layne Staley and Chris Cornell.
A relatively new project, having only played their first headline show in July, The Luminesc were highly uncharacteristic of a new band, playing incredibly tight and well-coordinated.
Akin to headliners Waterdogs, The Luminesc also boast more reserved and self-reflective moments in their lyricism, for example in songs like ‘Waiting for a Sun’. Making full use of the Pixies’ accredited “loud-quiet-loud” dynamic, The Luminesc were an exciting listen on the night, and an excellent precursor to the acts that would follow.
Next to bat were Clare natives Misvanity. The four-piece, together since the dawn of time (2017), are regular performers at Pharmacia – as many in the Limerick music scene have gathered by now. Despite this, die-hards can attest that no Misvanity set sounds the same as the last, and Friday night was no exception.
With a set of musically dense, often catchy and danceable as much as intense and primordially moshable songs, Misvanity’s half-hour set was a highlight amongst a roster of highly talented openers.
While the group experienced technical issues on the night, their ability to not miss so much as a note was admirable and a testament to just how tight and well-practised the band are. A highlight of their set was actually a song they had apparently only written 12 hours previous.
Untitled on the night, the song signalled a new but welcome direction for the band with a slower, more considered approach with vocals being at the forefront unlike some of their other tracks which is exciting considering the talent of the group’s lead vocalist. Overall, Misvanity are a band to keep track of and with how often they play around Limerick one would implore readers to check these guys out.
With Misvanity concluding their set headliners Waterdogs finally took to the stage.
Opening the set with their song ‘Ríastrad’, Waterdogs thoroughly kicked the door off its hinges, introducing newcomers to the group’s contemporary take on ’90s alt rock.
Though the group certainly wear their influences on their sleeve, it’s hard to draw any arbitrary comparisons to those, Waterdogs are like a melting pot of different sounds and influences, melded into a highly distinct and unique sound – with their set a testament to this.
Skilfully crafted, note heavy, often distortion laden guitar lines from guitarist, Aaron Griffin, interplayed masterfully with the intricately played riffs of bassist Ciara Marie Hayes, and the pounding relentless percussion of drummer Eoghan Creedon. Instrumentally, Waterdogs are a force to be reckoned with.
Through all of this, singer Kat Casey’s ability to craft her own imprint on the band’s sound and showcase her incredible vocal abilities amidst busy surroundings was especially notable.
Waterdogs‘ set ranged from moments littered with delicately played blues rock – to riff heavy headbangers – to more lyrically driven instances of introspection, with the dynamic of the band changing constantly.
Songs like ‘Fall’ and ‘Stuck’ personally stuck out, with the band’s vocalist truly coming to the forefront, with soaring, impossible to ignore choruses juxtaposing verses that, again, displayed the band’s penchant for more delicate moments.
Instrumentally, ‘Friday Night’ was Waterdogs on full throttle, with their guitarist jumping around the fret board with near impossible accuracy.
However, the release of their debut EP Midnight Loser was what the audience came for, and the EP’s tracks performed live did not disappoint. While all of the released tracks were a hit with the crowd, in a live setting ‘Stonedriver’ translated particularly well. Their debut single, the track was a first introduction to Waterdogs‘ music for many and acts as an encapsulation of the band at their most raucous, allowing their more hard rock inspired, bluesy tendencies to burst to the forefront.
Closing out their set, Waterdogs encored with a spirited rendition of The Animals’ ‘House of the Rising Sun’. Capping off the night with an undeniable classic, Waterdogs proved their admiration of their blues rock ancestors.
Overall, the night was a perfect storm of musical talent. Waterdogs, as headliners tend to be, were the absolute highlight of the night, however.
Playing to a substantial Pharmacia crowd can be no easy task, especially for a band that’s not yet massively well-established in Limerick, but it’s easy to say now that those in attendance who had not seen the band play before will certainly be seeing them again.
Bringing the spirit of ’90s rock to Limerick with a healthy and unobjectionable modern twist, Waterdogs’ future is bright.

A Manhattan lawyer who agreed to have two-day tryst with his sister-in-law to try and get her pregnant has now been accused of sexually assaulting her.
The man says that he had sex with his sister-in-law in order to help her conceive and now she is claiming he sexually assaulted her because she doesn't want to admit to her family that she wanted to have sex with him rather than receive IVF treatments.
He claims that the accusation is false and has filed a $7 million lawsuit to fight it.
The woman allegedly asked him to have sex with her, so that she could get pregnant because her husband is infertile.
The man says he was willing to have sex with her out of respect for his brother-in-law, who is his wife’s brother.
By the way, she did not conceive and is not pregnant, and the man’s wife has filed for divorce.

Further on the global warming subject in this post earlier, is Lorne Gunter's great column here "Cooking the Climate Books" (National Post, Nov.25, 2009)
Dalton McGuinty's Liberals, such as Jim Bradley, propagated the AGW global warming hoax. Many local Niagara politicians, even the mayor of St.Catharines, Brian McMullan, were poisoned by the AGW/climate change hoax, and willingly continued to spread their alarmist beliefs - their GreenFear - through green-infected policies. This Al Gore/David Suzuki abetted idiocy culminated on a national level into a fever pitch with federal Liberal Stephane Bumbledore Dion's Gorzukion Green Shift flameout.
To this day, Niagara's local kyodiot - St.Catharines Liberal MPP Jim Bradley - hasn't revealed specifically which "scientific" evidence he relied upon to badger Ontario into supporting Kyoto!!
And, a secretive Bradley has never specifically named the scientists whom he dismissively accused in 2002 of being "rogue" and apparently, also as being 'funded by the oil industry'!
The link was here, since removed by the Brock University Press.
The Jim Bradley climate-change propaganda story, written by Susan Kirwin, was titled "Kyoto Protocol will succeed", and appeared in the Brock Press, St.Catharines, Ontario, Nov.19, 2002) Nobody in the media has ever challenged Ontario's two-time Liberal Environment Minister Jim Bradley about his global-warming lies.
At the same time, Jim Bradley has never revealed who funded those mysterious 'scientists' who convinced Bradley himself that statist political 'solutions' would 'solve' global-warming!!!!
One of Ontario's top climate-change cooks is keeping that part of his recipe secret.
(... Add one part hoax, to two parts smugness, mix in a previous blend of statistical lies and omissions with a dash of deception; blend furiously while quickly adding heaps of indignant outrage, spin entire mixture with your own political blend of spicy GreenFear mongering and coercive authoritarianism... don't forget to add heaping helpins' of taxpayer cash, as well - and voila: your expensive Liberal Kyodiot cupcakes are ready to infect the masses...)

Crewe & Nantwich made it six wins on the spin as they got 2019 off to a flier on Saturday.
The Vagrants-based side picked up where they left off before the turn of the year, and recorded a 37-28 victory at Camp Hill.
Tries from Josh McShane, Thom Vanstone and Jim Creighton – who also kicked 22 points – paved the way for the success which lifted Crewe & Nantwich up to fifth in Midlands Two West (North).
Head Coach John Farr said: “It was a workmanlike win to kick off the new year.
“It perhaps took us longer than we would have liked to settle into the patterns we were executing prior to the Christmas break.
“However, we found our heads eventually and dominated long periods of the game.
“Yellow cards could have proved costly but the boys showed their cohesive quality and ground out a useful win.
“Camp Hill were previously undefeated at home, and that is testament to the way the boys performed.
“It was good to keep the ball rolling prior to a crucial game at home to Wolverhampton this weekend.”
Crewe started well and a series of drives from the forwards created the space for captain McShane to force his way over for a try, converted by Creighton.
Camp Hill got back in touch with two penalties, but then Creighton slotted three on the spin for the visitors to make it 16-6.
The momentum shifted when a Crewe back move broke down and a clever kick through put full back Vanstone under extreme pressure, which resulted in a penalty try and a sin-binning.
Camp Hill made the most of their extra man, and the visitors did well to be just 23-19 down at the break.
Crewe scored first in the second half when a penalty from Creighton reduced the score to 23-22.
And this was swiftly followed by a flowing move from one wing to another which left the reinstated Vanstone to power over the line.
Another accurate Creighton penalty extended the lead to 30-23, before he spotted a gap in the home side’s defence to score a try that he converted himself.
Hill kept battling at responded with a try late on in the game, but Crewe held out for a win that was their sixth on the run in the league.
Farr’s men kick-off against Wolverhampton at (2.15pm).
Crewe & Nantwich Ladies took another stride forward in their quest to become league champions with a dominant home 59-7 win over Preston Grasshoppers on Sunday.
The visitors blemished an otherwise perfect season for Crewe when the sides drew in October.
But they were put to the sword at the weekend, as Vicky Irwin, Mollie Latham, Millie Jones, India Perris-Redding, Zoe Baldock, Ellie Brightwell, Nicole Bell and Lucy Goose all scored tries.
Coach Paul Davis said: “This was a quality performance against a good team.
“We have worked hard on winning the 50/50 balls in the loose and playing for 80 minutes, and this game proved to us that we are on the right track.
“There is still a way to go, but we are very happy about our progress”.
Captain Perris-Redding added: “The overriding emotion several times before Christmas was of frustration.
“Although our results were good, our performances were too inconsistent and we let weaker teams play too much rugby against us.
“This game was a good example of what happens when things really click, so credit to the players for working so hard in training”.
Crewe who took the initiative early, with a try from Vicky Irwin, converted by Nikki Laurence.
The victory sees Crewe & Nantwich Ladies remain six points clear of second-placed Carlisle, with a game in hand.
The crucial fixture against the Cumbrian is on Sunday, away from home.

It is possible to play bejeweled, deal or no deal game online and many further.
I wish this was just a one-off, but really the most of online achievements found in games are the ones that disrupt the whole idea of online play. Thankfully they’re just about all that bad, but really – for anybody who is sitting there playing an e-commerce game all night out of the way to do something you really shouldn’t be going after – you’re ruining magnitude point of Online gaming.
While launching your site, ensure that there is a very exciting game within your online casino which is not yet launched or don’t have caught the attention of players. Some of the games which will excite players include Baccarat, Caribbean Stud, Keno, Craps and lot’s more. Some of tend to be already popular and played at different casino website. Launching them in an innovative new ‘avatar’ is. The games become the same but several changes from time to time which are more exciting to your players too new name can undoubtedly ‘game changer’. After its your own casino a person have the liberty to tweak it just a little.
These are wonderful games that usually are on the site which many advisors flash game titles. Usually they are quick 10-20 minute games that 100 % possible play for just a short once. They are very entertaining and also you have lot of fun if you find a few good flash games on the arcade niche site. https://www.freecasino.se/ One thing that online flash games lag behind truth that many associated with these do not save, so when you wish to play again you really should start once again. To some people especially me it is a pain so i decide to prevent do because. Instead i choose to play games should come to a so often later you should right in the place i left off at.
Some people think a person simply cannot obtain a decent xbox for reduce $1,000. I disagree. If there are several options may when you are looking for reasonable gaming technique. You can buy one off the shelf, carbohydrates all go online, a person can build one your company.
Listen, the reality is that she’s not into you not because you own a nerdy hobby, but because of what that hobby can be. Some girls find things like chess and programming sexy in a nerdy regarding way. But online-gaming? It represents all the lack of social skills and personality of a huge nerd simply no cute exterior and wisdom. To help you understand, it’s the difference coming from a girl that into playing music (hot) and one who is obsessed with Britney Spears (not hot). See document?
The addictive nature of the listed games could be dangerous that folks have died as an end result of playing for too much. In S.Korea they estimate 10 deaths a year – mainly for a person playing online for 80 hours straight and developing deep vein thrombosis – i.e. dying from blood clots. A word of caution a person’s love playing online games, in fact if you love the internet, get up every hours and to choose walk or do a short set of exercises.
I still think that you may find optimum cheap gaming computers web based. There’s just so much competition that companies are dropping their prices more and more. Plus you can do an amazing amount of comparison shopping in only a minutes online that your personal do in the traditional grocery store.

LUNG PATIENTS CAN BENEFIT FROM RESPIRATORY MUSCLE EXERCISE
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- People suffering from diseases such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema can benefit from high-intensity exercise of their chest muscles and diaphragm, according to a recent study.
In fact, the sickest patients are the ones who appear to benefit most from high-intensity respiratory muscle exercise.
Researchers at the Ohio State University College of Nursing looked at the effect of this specialized exercise on 22 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). These diseases, which include chronic bronchitis and emphysema, are the fourth leading cause of death in the United States.
The scientists found that COPD patients who exercised their respiratory muscles three times a week for three months -- both those who trained at a high-intensity level and those who trained at a lower level -- showed significant improvement in respiratory muscle endurance, combined strength and endurance, and walking speed.
Further, they found that these improvements were greatest among those patients with poor lung function who participated in
"With high-intensity training, there was some concern about injury, a concern that you could overtrain and perhaps cause a patient to have more problems," said Thomas Clanton, associate professor of physiology, internal medicine and allied medical professions at Ohio State and one of the authors of the study. "These results show that patients can tolerate it well and that even low-intensity training can have beneficial effects."
The study, which appeared in a recent issue of the journal Chest, is among the first to demonstrate the benefits of high-intensity respiratory muscle training for COPD patients. Respiratory muscle training itself -- during which patients must generate enough inhaling power to pop open a pressure-loaded valve, yet maintain a regular breathing pattern -- is fairly controversial, Clanton said.
"Probably only about 50 percent of people involved in pulmonary rehabilitation believe that it's a great part of a comprehensive rehabilitation program," he said. "The other half think it's not of as much value as other components."
Despite the controversy, study results suggest that high-intensity respiratory muscle training could become a way for the most seriously ill COPD patients to improve their quality of life, Clanton said.
"There are not a lot of treatments available for people who've lost lung tissue to these diseases," he said. "The idea behind respiratory muscle training is that if we can exercise these muscles and make them less susceptible to fatigue, patients will be able to exercise more and may have the 'reserves' necessary to stave off respiratory failure and stay out of the hospital."
Clanton conducted the study with former nursing doctoral student Barbara Preusser and former Ohio State professor of nursing Maryl L. Winningham.
For their study, the scientists measured the lung function, respiratory muscle strength, endurance, combined strength and endurance, and walking speed of the COPD patients. They then assigned the patients to either a high-intensity or low-intensity respiratory exercise group and had them exercise three times a week for three months using a threshold trainer -- a respiratory testing device that measures patients' ability to generate inhaling power and pop open a pressure-loaded valve. Patients in the high-intensity group had a higher pressure load to inhale against.
During the study, the researchers increased the size of the load, the length of the training session and the work-to-rest ratio. In the first week, the training session took five minutes; in the last, 18 minutes. At the end of the study, the scientists measured each patient's respiratory muscle strength, endurance, combined strength and endurance, and walking speed.
_ Respiratory muscle endurance, combined strength and endurance and walking speed improved for both the high-intensity and low-intensity groups over the course of the study, indicating no significant difference between the two training regimens.
"This suggests that both high- and low-intensity training are effective in conditioning the respiratory muscles," Clanton said.
_ However, respiratory muscle strength, endurance, combined strength and endurance, and walking speed improved most among very ill patients who participated in high-intensity training and least among very ill patients who participated in low-intensity training.
"Patients who have the most severe lung disease are constantly 'training' just through their everyday living. Because of this, they probably need a higher load in order to show a training effect," Clanton said.
_ Respiratory muscle strength, endurance, combined strength and endurance, and walking speed did not significantly improve during the third month of the study in either group.
"This suggests that the optimal length for this particular training regimen is two months," Clanton said. Currently, however, some third-party health insurance providers won't even pay for that many weeks, he said.
Clanton said he hopes this training regimen will eventually be evaluated in a multi-center trial with a larger group of patients.
Also, he hopes researchers will address the question of whether respiratory muscle training reduces health care costs -- over and above regular pulmonary rehabilitation.
"If you add respiratory muscle training to the overall pulmonary rehabilitation program, are patients less likely to end up in the hospital? Will spending a little extra on this element ultimately lower patient costs? That's a question we need to answer in a statistically defendable way."

Phillipi protesters blame CT bosses
Cape Town Mayor Patricia De Lille said the City had not abandoned Sweet Home Farm residents.
CAPE TOWN - A community leader from Sweet Home Farm near Phillipi said residents took to the streets on Monday because of their frustration with Cape Town City bosses.
Traffic in parts of the city came to a standstill when about 500 people protested, burned tyres, vandalised traffic lights and torched a Golden Arrow bus.
Police fired rubber bullets and used teargas to disperse the crowd.
Nine people were arrested and charged with public violence.
They were demanding houses and electricity in their area.
But Cape Town Mayor Patricia De Lille said the City had not abandoned residents the area.
"It's completely not true to say the City doesn't care. The city has spent ratepayers' money to buy this land from a private owner to enable us to provide services. [Community] leaders are misleading the people."
The Western Cape province has recorded the highest number of service delivery protests since the beginning of January.

Does legal marijuana cause users to consume more alcohol?
Smoking "skunk-like" cannabis may damage a crucial part of the brain responsible for communication between the two brain hemispheres.
Where can you find the strongest marijuana? Take a look at Denmark. Scientists have found that the concentration of the euphoriant THC is strongest in some of the skunk farms in Denmark.
Illegal pot farms may just be harming the rare, forest-dwelling fisher. Scientists have found that illegal marijuana farms in California are threatening this species.
Marijuana may just be able to help transplant patients. New research reveals that THC, which is the active ingredient in marijuana, may delay the rejection of incompatible organs.
It turns out that marijuana-use in teenagers is on the rise. Scientists have found out that while cigarette and alcohol use are stable or declining, more marijuana is being used.
Could you have the medical effects of marijuana without the side effects? That may just be the case.
New findings published in the journal Psychology of Addictive Behaviors reveal that youth who saw advertising for medical marijuana were twice as likely as peers who said they never saw an ad for the substance to report wanting to use it or doing so in the future.
How does marijuana impact your driving? That's a good question and now, researchers have taken a closer look.
Researchers have found that the vast majority of edible cannabis products sold in medical marijuana dispensaries carried labels that either overstated or understated the amount of THC in the products.
Child may be exposed to marijuana. Scientists have discovered that marijuana exposure among children that are five years of age or younger has increased as states have legalized the drug.

Chilling video of the murder of the son of former president Lobo 2:31
(CNN Spanish) --
(CNN Spanish) --
The President of Honduras, Xiomara Castro, announced Thursday that she was declaring a national security emergency to, according to the president, start what she called a "war against extortion" in the country.
After a meeting that she held with the police leadership, where the Comprehensive Plan for the Treatment of Extortion and Related Crimes was launched, the president of Honduras asked the police to recommend that municipal governments implement the state of emergency partial and suspend constitutional guarantees in places that warrant it.
The son of former Honduran President Porfirio Lobo is assassinated in Tegucigalpa
The Castro government's measure comes after the passenger transport businessmen held several protest marches in recent days to demand protection.
According to their claim, the criminal groups of extortionists do not want to let them work if they do not give them a daily quota of money.
In her appearance, the president indicated that the police and the army will be in charge of carrying out the necessary operations to dismantle the criminal groups.
For his part, the director general of the National Police, Gustavo Sánchez, told the press that the agencies in charge are being asked to no longer use cash in urban transport.
Instead, passengers will carry a rechargeable card to be used when boarding each unit.
Likewise, Marvin Galo, leader of passenger transport, told CNN that so far this year some 60 workers in the sector have been killed for opposing the payment of extortion to criminal groups.
In the last ten years, Galo said, some 580 drivers and collectors in the field have been killed by extortionist groups operating in Honduras for refusing to pay the fee they demand.
The transport leader added that many businessmen have had to stop their units on some routes because criminal groups no longer allow them to carry out their work.

Shame that hardly any of old Rome still persists in a single ethnic pattern of people.
I believe Sardinia is quite similar still.

Wow really? I guess of all Italian places that would be the least tampered with.
the Chad profile picture
Yes. A lot of the north is more or less just the Lombards, and the south has a lot of Moorish blood.
But they still make up a unique type of ethnicity.
Which is a good thing.
Right. I definitely gonna look into that more when I get my DNA test back

Ford Escape Recall
(USA TODAY) DETROIT — Ford is recalling the Escape small SUV again, this time to fix oil and fuel leaks that could cause engine fires.
The hot-selling SUV has been recalled seven times since it was redesigned and went on sale in the spring of 2012.
The first of two recalls announced Tuesday affects more than 161,000 Escapes worldwide from the 2013 model year with 1.6-liter four-cylinder engines.
Ford says the cylinder heads can overheat and crack, causing oil leaks.
Of those SUVs, fuel lines on about 12,000 may have been installed incorrectly. They could become chafed and leak gas. Many were repaired under a previous recall.
Ford says the oil leaks caused 13 fires but no injuries. There haven't been any fires from the fuel line problems.
The redesigned Escape has been recalled seven times since July of 2012 to fix carpet padding that can interfere with the brake pedals, fuel lines that can crack, coolant leaks, and child safety locks.
Dealers will fix cooling and control systems or inspect and replace fuel lines for free. The recalls start in January.

The Manila House of Representatives recently passed a bill expected to strengthen the regulation of hospitals and other healthcare facilities and services.
The legislation would address the increasing cost of healthcare services and regulate the licensing of healthcare facilities, according to an article on the Sunstar website.
The bill also would create the Bureau of Health Facilities and Services (BHFS) under the Department of Health, which will act as the regulatory agency for the regulation and licensing of health facilities and services in the country.
The measure is expected to expand and strengthen the regulation of healthcare facilities, the article said. The measure also allows BHFS to approve plans and issue permits or give authority to construct, renovate or expand healthcare and other related facilities.
The BHFS would determine, levy, assess and collect appropriate permit fees, registration fees, license fees and surcharges pertinent to the operation of healthcare facilities.

More Pop Stars from the 2000s, See What They Look like Now
Ever wondered what some of your favorite one-hit-wonders from the 2000s look like now? Well, we have the photos for you to see!
The early 2000s were full of amazing pop songs, and some of the prettiest teen singers with sweet dance moves. Here is a few of our favorite girls from this awesome decade, and what they look like now!

Her plans for her new album, Liberman, were delayed due to her pregnancy.

Entire Leaether Strip back catalogue to be reissued as 2CD sets - first volume now available for orderingPosted on 10/09/07
A video teaser on YouTube already announced it a few weeks ago: the first cult Leaether Strip album "The Pleasure Of Penetration" will be re-released as a remastered double CD set on November 13th 2007, Claus Larsen's birthday, under the title "Retention n°1". The release is part of an ongoing box series through which Claus Larsen will re-release his complete back-catalogue via the Belgian label Alfa Matrix. Each re-release will have both the fully remastered version of the original album on disc 1 and on the second disc, a totally re-written and reinterpretation (NO remixes!) of some selected songs from the original album by Leaether Strip himself re-recorded with current technologies. Note that the original track-list on disc 1 has been extended to 15 tracks with the addition of early 12" tracks and other rarities of the period.
Initially released back in 1990, the "The Pleasure Of Penetration" album was the first milestone of a long, prolific and still boiling music career today and quickly established Leaether Strip as one of the most important acts in Europe in the early 90's. Not surprisingly Leaether Strip became one of the leading acts on the cult Zoth Ommog / Music Research label. Tracks like "Japanese Bodies", "Razor Blades" or yet "Go fuck your ass off!" became instant classics.
Both discs will NOT be available separately and are only sold in this deluxe carton box which also includes some additional fan goodies. Alfa Matrix has already started accepting pre-orders for this re-release. Audiopreviews for all of the tracks can be checked here! For the occasion Alfa Matrix is offering various packets in its online shop including EP's or other Leaether Strip related releases together with the "Retention n°1" 2CD boxset.

"Surfer Girl" is a song written, produced and sung by Brian Wilson for American rock band the Beach Boys. It was released as a single and it then appeared on the 1963 album of the same name, Surfer Girl. The B-side of the single was "Little Deuce Coupe". The single was the first Beach Boys record to have Wilson officially credited as the producer.
The Beach Boys are an American rock band, formed in 1961 in Hawthorne, California. The group was initially composed of brothers Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson, their cousin Mike Love, and friend Al Jardine. Managed by the Wilsons' father Murry, the Beach Boys signed to Capitol Records in 1962. The band's early music gained popularity across the United States for its close vocal harmonies and lyrics reflecting a Southern California youth culture of surfing, cars, and romance. By the mid 1960s, Brian Wilson's growing creative ambition and songwriting ability would dominate the group's musical direction. The primarily Wilson-composed Pet Sounds album and "Good Vibrations" single (both released in 1966) featured a complex, intricate and multi-layered sound that wa… more »

OAKLAND, Calif., Jan. 17 (UPI) -- A 16-year-old boy accused of setting a transgender activist on fire on an Oakland city bus will be tried as an adult, a California judge has ruled.
Attorney William Du Bois said the judge could consider sentencing his client, Richard Thomas, as a juvenile if he is convicted, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Friday.
Prosecutors have charged Thomas with with aggravated mayhem, assault and hate-crime enhancements for allegedly setting fire to the skirt of Luke Fleischman, 18, as he slept on the bus Nov. 4.
Fleischman, who goes by the name Sasha, was born male but does not identify as male or female. He has campaigned for recognition of a "non-binary" gender.
Oakland police have said Thomas told them he is "homophobic" and that's why he attacked Fleischman.

With the passing of Sir Terry Pratchett a few weeks ago, I decided that it might be time to revisit some of those early Discworld novels that I haven't read in years. I was tempted to begin my journey with "Sourcery," which was my first Pratchett novel, but after much debate, I decided to start at the beginning with "The Colour of Magic" ($9.99, Harper Collins).
This first volume does a delightful job of introducing the reader to the zany and colorful world of the Disc through the eyes of the inept failed wizard Rincewind and the world's first tourist, Twoflower.
Rincewind, who is much more comfortable running away from trouble than toward it, at first tries to avoid the flamboyant tourist from a strange land and his, umm, interesting luggage. That becomes impossible when Lord Vetinari, the Patrician of the, ahem, "grand" city of Ankh-Morpork charges the wizard with protecting the tourist. As fans of Pratchett know already, no one refuses Vetinari -- at least no one who survives more than a few more sentences.
That sets Rincewind on a path that will take him to the very edge of the disc and beyond, and also serves to introduce readers to a wide swath of the world that we all came to know and love.
I haven't read "The Colour of Magic" in at least 20 years or so, and this re-read gave me a bit of a different perspective on it. In some ways, I believe it's weaker than some of the later Discworld books. There are subplots that seem to fizzle out, and there are opportunties that seem to be missed. (To be fair, of course, we now know that this book and follow up "The Light Fantastic" are really one story, and some of that will be addressed.) As an introduction to a strange world that the reader will long to explore more, though, it succeeds marvelously.
While not Pratchett's best work, "The Colour of Magic" does hint at the writer that he will become. There's more than a bit of Lovecraft, a dash of Coleridge and a touch of Tolkien, all filtered through a comic lens that's part slapstick, part biting satire.
I thoroughly enjoyed my trip back to the origins of the Discworld, and a chance to view its beginnings with a different eye. I'm even more eager to continue to my journey through some books that I haven't read in far too long. I can't wait to get to some of my favorites and see what new wonders and amusements I might find in them from my current perspective.

If you are making up your mind about getting a new canoe and this is your first time, chances are that you might have some questions in your mind. The right thing to do would be read all about the canoes and how things work so you can have a baseline. Once that is done, you can proceed.
The good thing is that you can visit website and get all the information that you might want to use. Keeping that in mind, we are going to be looking at some of the questions that you should be asking when getting a canoe. This is important because without these questions you might never be able to have a proper buying experience.
Are There Any Better Versions Than This?
Canoes are available in so many different versions that you can easily get lost in the mix. So, if you are looking to get your hands on one, you should always ask if there are any better versions than the one you are looking at. If there is one, you should go for that because it will certainly make your experience a whole lot better and you will not have to worry about anything else.
Do You Offer Training?
If you do not know how to work with a canoe, it is better if you ask if there are any pieces of training that are being offered. Simply because you want to make sure that if you are using something like it, you are doing it under supervision so you can have a better experience later down the road, and you do not have to worry about it, at all. The more you think of these things, the better it will be, and you will not have to stress about it, either.
Magic: The Gathering is a very popular card game that has been developed by a group of students. One thing people do not understand is why this amazing game has not been turned into the form of a gaming application. Today, you will see almost all types of card and board games on the PC instead of people playing them manually.
This is why questions have been raised on why Magic: The Gathering has not been transformed into a digital game. After interviewing the game makers, it was learned that this game is so complex and consists of a lot of variables, which is why it is not something that can be easily converted into a digital game.
They claim that gaming motherboards are not that advanced to handle this many variables and cards without lagging. If they still make the game into a digital one, they will lose all the gamers due to lagging. Another reason why the owners claim that Magic: The Gathering should not be turned into a digital game is because they game is too complex, so playing it physically instead of digitally is a better option. This way, the players can understand what is going on.
You can get more details about this from this link; thefrisky.com. The game collection has more than 15,400 cards, all with their own unique details. Therefore, each competitor gets a 1 out of 15.4k probability of picking a card. Just by discussing this much, it is pretty clear that one cannot adapt the card game into the motherboard system, as it will not be able to handle the load and complexity.
Now that you know more details about the game and its development, you can go buy it right now and enjoy the complex nature it has.
Golf is a cross country sport which became popular very quickly after it was introduced. It’s not just a basic club and ball sport as it requires a lot of dedication and skill. It is played on golf courses spread on huge acres of land. Even though it is not necessary to make huge golf courses, they are usually huge.
It is played by hitting a series of balls from particular starting points called teeing grounds. There are holes in the golf courses and the player strikes the balls aiming for it to hit one of those holes. The ball is hit with club that are hook shaped from the bottom and aimed at the holes. The player whose ball hits the holes in the fewer strokes, wins the game. The player uses a series of clubs to hit the ball and win the game.
Unlike other major sports, golf is usually played on arrange of terrains. It is played on rough terrain having longer grass than usual to test the stoker’s abilities. It is played on sand dunes and even on the roughest terrains having water and rocks. This is very unlike of other sports. If you want to know more about golf courses and what kind of courses there usually are, then head over to kurt chrisler blogs to view their golf courses.
Along with golf courses, this sport also differs when it comes to the players approach and practice. Unlike other sports, it is approached with patience and intellect more than anything else. The player has to keep the distance, the weight of the feather like ball in mind while hitting it. This is a sport that keeps the players intellect and skill in check too as it requires.

Johnson was all over the field as Kansas City’s defense took over in the second quarter after the Rams scored field goals on their first two drives. St. Louis didn’t score again until four minutes remained in the game. Johnson has 17 tackles and he had four passes defensed against the Rams. It was another Pro Bowl push for Johnson, who is flourishing this season.
Fellow Kansas City linebacker Tamba Hali won the honor earlier this season. It is the first time in 19 years that the Chiefs have had two players win the AFC defensive player of the week award. Linebackers Derrick Thomas and Tracy Simien both won the award in 1991.

Mark Schultz' personal approach to music has yielded a slew of hits including “He’s My Son” and “Letters From War,” a poignant account of faith in the midst of strife, which recently served as the centerpiece of the Army’s “Be Safe-Make it Home” campaign. As one of Christian music’s most distinctive voices, singer/songwriter Mark has a considerable catalog of tracks that can’t help but tug on his listeners’ hearts.
After playing a sold-out show at the famed Ryman Auditorium in Nashville that kickstarted his artistic journey 10 years ago, the Kansas native loves writing story songs that draw from everyday life experience.
His latest single "All Things Possible," from his new album All Things Possible (September 4, 2012), is a great reminder of how with God anything is possible. Mark's inspiration for the song came from a cross-country trek on his bike for the James Fund- an organization that provides aid for widows and orphans.
"The song was born out of a bike trip that I took a few years ago to raise money for widows and orphans. It was one of those trips that I realized very quickly that unless God was with me I wasn't going to make it, and there were several times I wanted to give up," he said. "Riding 100 miles a day hitting another mountain and another mountain and I thought I was finished. But I realized God was in it and that's where the lyrics came from."

Rivalry gets early kick start in 2014 MLB season
SYDNEY — Suspensions to eight players and a controversial swimming pool incident following last season's NL West clincher helped expand a growing rivalry between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly says he doesn't expect any serious animosity to carry over from last year when the teams meet in a season-opening, two-game series this weekend at the Sydney Cricket Ground. But he couldn't rule it out either.
