Kyoto-based Ishida has reached 50 years of multihead weighing. Now, the company is releasing a new CCW-AS (Computer Combination Weighing-Advantage Series) multihead weigher to mark the occasion.
In 1893, Ishida became Japan’s first private weighing equipment manufacturer during a new age of industrial modernization. First introduced for agricultural applications, multihead weighers are now used in a range of markets.
The CCW-AS Series offers increased productivity with advanced automation for high-speed weighing applications while improving manufacturing and packaging performance as well as product quality and safety, according to a news release. The new model achieves an internal calculation of 0.01g weighing accuracy.
Applications include snack foods, fresh produce, prepared foods, frozen vegetables, baked snacks, French fries, fruit and pharmaceuticals.

If u had the chance. To be immortal and all mighty. would u take it?
Poor, Poor Nem did one day. And regreted it for the rest of your life. and my life. For this... thing, made him live, for eternity. Like most of u readers. Nem was very curious and craved... Excitement. Im sure, that most of u reading, are under 18 and have yet to witness the stress and choices that will be pushed towards you. Nem's life was nothing but stress and choices, choices, choices, and more choices.
Nem, was suicidal and homicidal. He would be in a mental word. If it weren't for his best friend, Jake. Jake knew what this thing was...
And he knew, how to control it. It was an Ancient evil, that would cirtainly make and human think of suicide, as the only way out. Jake knew he was not immortal, and he knew, that Nem was. Jake knew that he had to rid of this thing, from Nem's soul. Before His own life would pass, Cirtainly after Jake passes,Nem will go on a killing rampage, that no one else noes how to stop. If Jake can release this curse... He will have quite possibly saves thousands of lives.
Nem had been away from Jake for to long before. He luckily only broke a child's arm before Jake got there... Jake had to sedate him, with 3x over the limit for humans. Jake brought him into a home in the forest where he would be separated from other human interaction for the rest of his life.

Juanes All We Can Do lyrics
Halsey, Icona Pop and Juanes performed at the official 2016 Nobel Peace Prize Concert last night at the Oslo City Hall in the capital of Norway. Such an honor! Halsey, representing the USA, performed her songs "Colors" and "Castle", from her "Badlands" debut album, the Swedish girls of Icona Pop (invited because they are still popular in Europe) performed their oldies "All Night" and "I Love It" as well as their brand new single "Brightside", and last but not least, Colombian star Juanes (invited because his president Juan Manuel Santos won the Nobel Peace Prize this year for ending the…

Any surfers on here?
I’m planning on taking a short holiday to somewhere warm before I move to London to start a new job in mid-October. I thought it might be fun to learn to surf so does anyone have any tips as to where to go at this time of year and which companies might be good to go with?
I’m a total beginner to surfing so tuition would be a must. Morocco looks appealing.
Failing that, does anyone know of the surfing equivalent of Singletrackworld that I could ask around on?Posted 8 years agorichiethesilverfishMember
Thats actually a slightly trickier question than you might think.
The problem with October is that in all the 'tourist' type destinations you'll find a lot of surf schools, etc have shut down for the season and if you try to avoid this issue by heading to a more hardcore surf area (Lacannau, Hossegor, etc) then the surf may be too big for you to learn on.
I surf in the UK afair bit (last night infact!) but travel to France about twice a year for some surfing too. I always head over in October before heading down to race at the Roc D'Azur and so far in four years of doing it I've never had swell under head high along the West Coast.
The Canaries would be a fairly good bet but it can be bast#rd rocky so again maybe not ideal learner terrority? I've never surfed in Morroco but I know its a cheap holiday!
Good luck!Posted 8 years agoMackemMember
Lots of surf schools near me (Bilbao) that operate all year round. The only problem being language really but I guess it's more of a copy the instructor type thing anyway. Plenty of ex-pats here who would probably be happy to help. Lots of good biking too, so you could combine the two things
Ask Doug at Basque biking, he surfs a bit I think.Posted 8 years agogusamcMember
I did Morocco @ xmas with Rapture Surf Camps
I spent two weeks in Morocco, one with a well know BIG company (£900ish), one with Rapture (£350 ish), Rapture was better organised and MUCH better food.
*Accom was basic (but fine) shared a dorm with 7 others, honesty fridge, video/music lounge, outings, good surfing, amazingly good and varied food. Only thing you might want to check is camp language – when I was there it was English as most people who were there spoke it, the next week it became German as that was the common one.Posted 8 years agogusamcMember
sorry, forgot to add do a lessons check as most were experienced surfers.
Also been to France (Biarritz) with Surf South West. Alos a very good bunch. Ditto lessons.
For tuition Surf South West might be better (language) and setup.Posted 8 years agosupersessions9-2Member
A friend went to Costa Rica this time last year. Really enjoyed it, not sure how cheap. But warm sea and nice sandy beach breaks. A good surf school should take you to breaks which are suitable for your abilities.
Anyone who says you can't surf properly in the UK is talking out of their arse. And Autumn is always good here as you get a nice warm sea and decent swells. Plus you can avoid the crowds if you hunt around. Who cares if the air's a bit cool. It's all about the wettie!Posted 8 years agoMushMember
Thanks for the magicseaweed link. Clearly, I'm not the only person that wants to go surfing in October. Some promising options mentioned there and above so thanks for the tips.
I don't mind having my hand held on a fully managed week while I'm learning and still keen on Morocco so will look into companies like Surf South-West, Rapture, Africa Extrem(?), Morocsurf and others. Also considering Lanzarote, but not quite so appealing (if only for bragging rights at the new job!).
I have actually attempted to surf in the North Sea off Tynemouth in January and appreciate that the good waves don't always come with the warmer temps (in this country at least).
I think mangoridebike is having a bit of fun in suggesting I go to Cornwall. Probably been a long time since he's seen the sun up in Fort William so anywhere would be warm for him.Posted 8 years ago5labMember
you can do morocco far cheaper than that – a bunch of us go down every jan – fly out, hire a car, get one of those lush places right on the point of anchors. Total cost for the week, inc flights, car, food, accom is under £300.
regarding learning – I'd say do a weekend in newquay first – its just set up right. I'm not sure of places for real beginner lessons in morocco, but there probably are some.

enemy. It is not generous to reproach a fallen power; but Llewellin, if the Gospel be, what you say it was in the first ages, that mighty power of God, which overturned idolatry wherever it went, and made the wilderness of evil to bud and blossom like the garden of Paradise; how can you account for the very feeble impression which it makes amongst the people to whom you have sent it."
Mr. Llewellin. "Indeed, Sir, Christianity does not require the aid of the civil magistrate to shield her when she is attacked, or avenge her wrongs on those who revile and defame her. She would rather forgive the contumacious offenders, than attempt to subdue their hostility by fines and imprisonment; and when the powers of this world would call down fire from heaven to consume them; or bring up demons from beneath to bear them off, she indignantly says, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. When her divine origin is doubted or denied, she appeals to the evidences of her celestial descent; and if they fail to produce a plenary conviction on the enquirer, she leaves him to the consequences of his own scepticism; but gives no sanction to the civil magistrate to inflict any corporeal punishment." "You rather sarcastically admit the triumphs of the Gospel over the idolatry of Greece and of Rome; but intimate that it is now become so enervated and powerless, that it produces but a very feeble impression amongst those to whom we have sent it. If this were the case, it should not excite our surprize; as we have no reason to expect the extraordinary interposition of divine power in attending it with that signal success, which marked its progress when it was first preached. It is now entrusted to agents, who possess no miraculous endowments; and is left to work its way amongst a people by the slow progress of reason and of persuasion; softening down their prejudices, by rendering its truths familiar to them; and overcoming their hostility by patience and forbearance; displaying at times all the symptoms of a human scheme, which will inevitably fail in accomplishing its professed design; and yet at no period in its history has it gained more illustrious triumphs over ignorance, and superstition, and vice, than in modern times. When the Islands of the South Seas
were discovered by Captain Cook in the year 1769, the people were sunk into the lowest state of barbarism addicted to every species of wickedness-savage in their manners-the votaries and the victims of a superstition, terrible as death, and insatiable as the grave. In the year 1796, the London Missionary Society was established; and her first Missionaries were sent to these Islands. There they continued year after year, witnessing the degeneracy of the people, without being able to stay its progress; exposed to their insults and derision; sometimes obliged to remove from one island to another for the preservation of their own lives, while the sceptics of Europe were often holding them and their patrons up to contempt, for the folly and madness of their enterprize. Yes, Sir, the zealous advocates of Christian Missions often saw the finger of scorn pointing to the South, when some of your brethren sarcastically asked, What news? At length the news came, and so well authenticated, that you dare not contradict it. Idolatry is entirely destroyed; and the deities which the poor deluded islanders so long worshipped, are now deposited in our Missionary Museum, for the express purpose, to quote the language of King Pomare, that we may see what foolish gods Tahaite formerly worshipped. They have built chapels, which they have consecrated to the service of the living and the true God, and instituted the observance of the Christian Sabbath; they have parts of the Scriptures, and some devotional hymns, and elementary books of general knowledge translated into their language; they are learning to read and write; are becoming acquainted with some of the arts and sciences; are building houses, cultivating the soil, engaging in commercial speculations, and introducing a system of jurisprudence, which would not disgrace an European state. Indeed, so completely is the scene changed, that the Captain of a vessel, who had known them when in a state of Pagan superstition, happening to enter one of their harbours on a Sabbath-day, concluded that the whole population of the Island was destroyed, as no canoes put off from the shore, nor were there any natives to be seen on the beach to welcome his arrival."
Mr. Gordon. "Where were they then?".
Mr. Llewellin." In their newly erected temple, wor
shipping the Lord of hosts; and listening to that Gospel which had been the instrumental means of effecting this astonishing moral revolution. -A moral revolution which reflects a greater degree of lustre on Christianity, than she ever acquired in Greece or in Rome; as it was brought about by the instrumentality of agents, who were endowed with no miraculous powers to demonstrate the divinity of the truth which they proclaimed, or inspire the people with any superstitious veneration for their persons. By men, who were distinguished by no vigour of intellect by no originality of genius-by no powers of eloquence; but who, having felt the renewing influence of the truth on their own heart, preached it in its simplicity and purity; till ignorance and prejudice, and superstition and vice, gave way before its all-subduing power; and now the light of life illumines these Islands, which for ages were enveloped in Pagan darkness; and the sacred stillness of unruffled peace, reigns where the tumult of internal war, once made the hills and the vales resound with its harsh and dissonant sounds."
Mr. Gordon. "They are gone then, according to your own shewing, from Paganism to fanaticism; thus one evil is rooted up, and the ground cleared for the purpose of planting another."
Mr. Llewellin. I am utterly at a loss to conceive, what you Deists would do for terms of reproach, if you were interdicted the use of the words, fanaticism, and enthusiasm; but you will permit me to observe, that their introduction on this occasion, is nothing less than a species of artifice, to get away, if possible, from the biting proof, which this moral revolution supplies in favour of the resistless power, and beneficial tendency of pure and undefiled Christianity. Call it fanaticism, or call it enthusiasm if you please, but still there is the change, from ignorance to knowledge-from the worship of wood and stone, to the worship of the living and the true God-from vice to virtue-from beastly indolence to an active industry-from the habits of a barbarous and savage state, to those of civilized life-from the horrors of internal war, to the blessings of social peace; presenting a scene to the imagination of a benevolent man no less astonishing than it is captivating and delightful; and which, if not well attested, we
should all conclude, formed some splendid paragraph in a romance, rather than a part of sober and authentic history."
Mr. Gordon. "There may have been some peculiarity in the character of these Islanders, which predisposed them for this change; which when discovered by the Missionaries, was turned to some good account; as I have no doubt they were qualified for their work, though they possessed none of those splendid talents, which a great enterprize required. You have, I believe, Missionaries in other parts of the world, from whom you receive no such fascinating intelligence. They write in rather a desponding strain, if I mistake not. They find the people not quite so pliable, as they are in the South Seas; and the demon of superstition, which vacated his throne in honour of the South Sea Missionaries, obstinately retains it where they are labouring; notwithstanding all the charms which they employ to induce him to leave it."
Mr. Llewellin. "Yes, Sir, we have Missionaries preaching the Gospel in almost every part of the world;" and though their success has not equalled the splendid conquests in the South Seas, yet there has been no entire failure of any importance. In Africa, where so many wrongs have been committed, the cause of Missions flourishes; and many of the ferocious wanderers have been reclaimed from their state of barbarism, and are now living in settlements, under the superintendance of our Missionaries. Amongst the slaves also in the West Indies, the Gospel is preached with very considerable effect; and such is its influence over their minds, that it induces a spirit of contentment under their heavy-oppression and opens to them the prospect of a state of felicity, which no force of language can describe."
Mr. Gordon. "I certainly should not object to give my mite towards sending any thing that was capable of mitigating the sufferings of the poor enslaved negroes; but still will allow me to you say, that have succeeded only amongst the ignorant and the debased. In India, where idolatry is reduced to a system; where its powers of defence are marshalled in due order, and the great mass of the people are really and permanently interested in their superstitious belief, you have met with
Indeed, I understand, that one who has been employed there for upwards of thirty years, has thrown up his commission in despair; giving it as his decided opinion, that the conversion of the Hindoos is impracticable. Is this true, Sir?"
Mr. Llewellin. "It is true, Sir, that the Abbe Dubois, a Catholic Missionary, has failed in his attempts to convert the Hindoos to the Catholic faith; but because he failed in his efforts to establish Catholicism in India; is that any valid argument against the probable success of our attempting to establish Christianity? We may succeed, where he failed; but still as I wish to meet the question at once, I confess that I should despair of ever being able to bring over the Hindoos to a belief, and a reception of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, if the agents who are employed in this great work, were left to do it themselves. But they are not-they make no such pretensions; they admit the fact of their own inability to make any deep and permanent impression on the most tender and pliant mind, as explicitly as they avow their dependance on the co-operation of a supernatural power. They expect to triumph over idolatry and vice; but then they say, before they go into the field of contest, that the weapons of their warfare are mighty through God; and when they gain the victory, they exclaim, Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. Now, Sir, admitting for the sake of the argument, that the Missionaries who go forth to India to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, can rely on the concurrence of a supernatural power over the judgment and passions of the people, to induce them to receive it; would you say, that their conversion is impracticable?"
Mr. Gordon. "Certainly not; for that would be to invest the demon of superstition with a power to withstand Omnipotence; but have you ever succeeded in your speculations in India ?”
Mr. Llewellin. "Yes, there are some hundreds of Hindoo Pagans and Mahommedans, who have embraced Christianity since the Missionaries, which went from this country, have been settled in India. This is a fact, placed in the records of history, and confirmed by the

Bowel and bladder functions are closely related. Part of the bowel called the rectosigmoid colon begins as a continuation of the descending colon and becomes continuous with the rectum hanging down into the pelvic cavity in the form of a loop. The rectosigmoid colon and the bladder share the same small space within the bony pelvis. When the rectum is empty, bladder function is at its best and when the rectum is loaded with stool, bladder storage and emptying functions are impaired. Good bowel function is an absolute requirement for good bladder function.
Factors that lead to constipation will also tend to provoke bladder symptoms. We live in an age of fast foods, and many women may have a diet that is sadly lacking in fiber and bulk. A healthy diet should include not only all of the required nutrition, but also natural sources of fiber, softeners and lubricants. Some of you may adhere to your own ideas of Healthy Eating, which may tend to exclude oils and fats that are natural softeners and lubricants for the bowel. A regular bowel is easier to maintain when you have a regular eating schedule. The ancient physicians advocated that for a healthy bowel, one should eat breakfast like a king, eat lunch like a peasant and dinner like a pauper. Even today, this is sound advice. In our culture, eating patterns are often erratic. We may eat a quick, small breakfast, grab a quick snack for lunch at work, and eat a big meal in the evening before retiring to bed. This is the opposite of what is required for a healthy bowel. The bowel is stimulated to act by filling the stomach followed by physical activity of the normal day or by exercise.

Does anyone have any deck plans for the new Caribbean Princess? I am want to pick my cabin, but I am not sure of the layout since it is supposed to be bigger than the "Grand" class. Any help would be great!
According to the press releases on the former P&O Princess Cruises web site (which has been replaced by a redirector to the Carnival Corporation web site since the merger took effect, and thus is no longer accessible), this ship has the same hull and basic design as MV Grand Princess but with an additional deck of passenger cabins between the Promenade Deck and the Lido Deck to accommodate 3100 passengers based on double occupancy. Since the ship was originally ordered for sister line P&O Cruises (in the United Kingdom), some of the public spaces also may have been reconfigured.
In keeping with Princess's standard naming conventions, I would expect that the cabin decks between the Lido Deck and the Promenade Deck are the Aloha Deck, the Baja Deck, the Caribe Deck, the Dolphin Deck, the Emerald Deck, and the Fiesta Deck and that the public decks below the Promenade Deck are the Gala Deck and the Plaza Deck. Thus, deck that's all minisuites probalby is the Emerald Deck and the deck with oversized balconies on standard outside cabins probably is the Dolphin Deck.
The actual deck plans should be available in the Caribbean brochure for 2004-2005, which will be available soon if it isn't already available.

Here The Khrushchev era is well known as a time where corn was heavily favored as a staple food. Khrushchev himself pushed for corn to be the favored resource in agriculture. On his trip to the US, Khrushchev experienced the extreme difference in culture as well as agriculture. He decided to adopt corn for the Soviet Union and had a plan to save many people from starvation.
For a few years corn thrived on Soviet soil when there was a short period of hot summers. After this small success, Khrushchev pushed for even more radical agricultural goals. However, the Soviet over-extension into colder territories that couldn’t support the growth of corn coupled with a lack in agricultural technology and an absence of a proper climate, corn started to fail the Soviet economy. The Soviet Union failed to put forth the quantities they predicted, and so the popularity of it as a staple food as well as Khrushchev’s own popularity plummeted.
Even with it’s short lived success, corn has influenced Russian cuisine and culture in a very big way. With Khrushchev’s introduction of corn to the Soviet Union, many new recipes came about making good use of this food. It is interesting to observe the propaganda and influence on culture throughout history.
This picture of Khrushchev holding up corn is very symbolic. Khrushchev had extreme difficulty introducing an alien crop to the tightly knit Russian community, especially one that came from the evil capitalist west. Therefore, in this picture we see Khrushchev standing with corn in his hand, as if a defendant acting on the behalf of the corn in a courtroom. As we know from the brief historical recap, many were skeptical of this alien crop, whether it would be able to grow or if it was as useful in Russian cuisine. Everyone viewed this move by Khrushchev as radical. However, in order to save the Russian people from famine, he knew he had to work in radical ways, even if it was to accept help from the west.
Here we see a propaganda poster saying to make way for corn. As a statement of acceptance from the Russians as well as livestock. In the radical campaign to popularize corn, land that was originally used for other agricultural purposes, such as to grow wheat and barley, was given to corn instead. In this way corn not only metaphorically replaced a lot of traditional agricultural products, but also physically. It was mostly used to feed the livestock, so in the propaganda poster we see so many animals that would in theory be eating the corn.

Pet food manufacturer Nestle Purina has been fined £50,000 after an industrial accident five years ago left five of its employees with severe burns.
The men were working on a hydrostat, a piece of machinery used in the processing of pet food, when an uncontrolled blast of boiling water and steam fired out of the machine and struck them.
The incident, which occurred at the firm’s plant in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire on Auguest 4, 2006, left the five victims with extensive burns to their faces, arms and hands. One man needed cosmetic surgery to repair damage to his arm.
The Health and Safety Executive investigation found that the machinery in question had recently been updated but no risk assessment had been carried out after the modifications had been made.
Nestle Purina were fined £50,000 with £22,634 in costs.
After the hearing at Cambridge Crown Court, HSE inspector Peter Burns told the Fenland Citizen: “This incident highlights the need for companies to plan and implement all projects with a clear health and safety oversight. Had Nestle Purina followed these regulations properly, this incident may have been avoided and these five men may not have suffered the injuries they did.
“HSE will not hesitate to prosecute companies who fail to take their health and safety obligations seriously.”
Although none of the men have indicated their intentions to the press, they should be eligible to make a claim for accident at work compensation.

Racing Beat Mazda Miata Solid Rear Sway Bar 1990-2005
The Racing Beat solid rear sway bar is ideally matched to perform with our wide selection of front sway bars. While the Racing Beat solid rear bar can be fitted on any 1990-2005 application, we do not recommend the use of this bar on the 2001-05 models. Our testing has shown that the 2001-05 Miata exhibits low-speed oversteer that can be corrected by the addition of only a larger front sway bar. For the 2001-05 application we recommend our 1.25" front tubular bar. We have found that the use of this larger front bar offers a more "balanced" handling characteristic for this particular chassis.
Racing Beat has refined 30 years of racing experience and undisputed successes into the design of our Miata suspension components. From a MotorTrend Magazine (RB 1990 Miata, June, 1993) all-time slalom record (73.6 MPH) to a Sport Compact Car (RB 1999 Miata ) skidpad record (1.1g), Racing Beat suspension components have proven themselves where it counts, on the track. Don't fall for the hype when others say their bars are the "best", look for independent confirmation from the nation's leading automotive publications.
The diameter of the Racing Beat rear bar is 5/8" (16mm), and weighs 3.5 lbs. (Stock - 11 or 12 mm, diameter, 2.2 lbs.) and features two (2) endlink attachment holes. Each sway bar is supplied with replacement urethane bushings, lateral bar stopper bushings & clamps, Prothane grease, and detailed installation instructions.
For racers in the SCCA E Stock class, the use of the RB solid front bar (and stock rear bar) is a popular combination. This bar can also be combined with the Brace Kit Hardware. (The brace itself is not legal in this class, but the supporting hardware can be used.)
To view a complete chart of our Miata Sway Bar Application Guide (PDF), click here, or view a Miata Magazine reprint of a step-by step installation guide and tech article featuring Racing Beat's sway bars.>
When adding high performance suspension components to any vehicle, the result is an increased demand on the vehicle's stock components. We have designed these high performance sway bar components to complement and further enhance your vehicle's performance. We strongly recommend you consider your specific driving requirements when upgrading your vehicle's suspension and select components accordingly.
Suggested Optional Components
Combine this sway bar with the Racing Beat Sway Bar Brace Kit and Heavy Duty Sway Bar End Links to fully exploit the potential of your car's performance.

Floor SpikesEditWhile in some of West's dungeons, there are floor spikes that are intended to be booby traps for intruders. Rick can throw enemies into these spikes to gets stabbed by them. Rick himself can be hurt by these spikes.
Impalement SpikesEditImpalement Spikes are basically large spikes on the wall that Rick can impale enemies onto. Some are low enough that enemies can be knocked onto one by accident, while others are high enough that only careful aiming can ensure impalement. Some of these spikes are on the ground, which means that Rick needs to actully carry them over to the spikes.
Chasms and PitsEdit
In several points of the game, there will be chasms or pits that Rick can throw enemies down. If the player isn't careful, Rick himself could fall down these too.
During Phase Three, there's a large spinning fan with blood an gore under it. Rick can throw enemies into the fan to chop them into tiny bits.
"Buttplugs of Death"Edit
A humorous nickname to a special set of impalement spikes shown during Phase Four. They're basically impalement spikes that shaped to resemble a sex toy. After Rick anally impales three enemies, the BoD then lead enemies into a large microwave oven that irradiate enemies until they explode. After that, the Terror Mask remarks "That's the kind of shit that got us an M-Rating."
In the Slaughterhouse, large microwave ovens were used to cook meat. However, the radiation these ovens have reached damgerous levels. If any enemy enters the radiation zone, they will immediatly explode into bits of blood and gore. These radiation fileds can also hurt Rick if he gets too close to them.
During Phase Three, Rick uses a meat grinder to activate an elevator. While it grinds up corpses, Rick can also throw enemies into the grinder to kill them. The meat grinder is strong enough to kill an Abhore. While killing enemies, it also speeds up how much blood gets pumped into the glass tank.
In the Slaughterhouse, there are large pits with spinning blades at the bottem that grind up meat. Rick can throw enemies down these pits to get chopped to bits. Rick can also die if he falls down one.
Ring Toss GameEdit
A special version of the impalement spikes. Basically, it's a larger and deadly version of the classic ring toss game found at carnivals. When Rick throws an enemy on the spikes, a door will open to reveal his prizes. These include a Jenny Picture, a 2x4 and a Baseball Bat along with more enemies being spawned.
Test of StrengthEdit
A special version of impalement spikes. It's an old "strength test" found at carnivals where players use a sledgehammer to hit a level to send a little divet up and hit a bell. However, this version uses spikes as the bell and divet. Rick has to imaple an enemy onto the "divet", hit the lever and kill the enemy with the "bell".

text: Aung San Suu Kyi, (born June 19, 1945, Rangoon, Burma [now Yangon, Myan.]), Opposition leader in Myanmar (Burma). Daughter of nationalist leader Aung San, she studied in Burma and India and at the University of Oxford. She lived quietly in Britain until 1988, when she returned to Burma. Moved by the brutality of U Ne Win’s military regime, she began a nonviolent struggle for democracy and human rights. The 1990 electoral victory of her National League for Democracy (NLD) was ignored by Ne Win’s government, and she was held under house arrest from 1989 to 1995. She was awarded the 1991 Nobel Prize for Peace. She subsequently continued her opposition activities and was subject to varying degrees of government harassment, including more periods of house arrest beginning in 2000. She was released from house arrest in 2011 and won a seat in the lower house of the national legislature in 2012. The NLD won a majority of legislative seats in 2015, and her close friend and fellow NLD member Htin Kyaw was elected president the next year. (Suu Kyi was constitutionally barred from being president.) She held multiple government posts in Htin Kyaw’s administration and that of his successor, Win Myint. She faced international condemnation over the persecution of the Muslim Rohingya people in Myanmar. She and the NLD-led government were deposed by the military in February 2021.

The Loral GZ-22 (also known as the Goodyear GZ-22) was a non-rigid airship first flown in 1989 and operated by Goodyear as its signature promotional aircraft, registered N4A and named Spirit of Akron.
Loral GZ-22 Wikipedia
Originally built for the purpose of demonstrating the modern military capability of airships to the US Navy, the GZ-22 was originally designed by Goodyear but built by Loral after Goodyear withdrew from airship manufacturing. The GZ-22 had a steel framed and composite skinned gondola with a neoprene-impregnated polyester 2-ply envelope filled with helium. At its 1987 rollout the 205-foot 6-inch long airship was the longest in service. The GZ-22 Type Certificate was issued on 31 August 1989.
On 28 October 1999 the Spirit of Akron crashed at Suffield Township, Ohio, when it suddenly entered an uncontrolled left turn and began descending. The pilot and technician on board received only minor injuries when the airship hit trees. The NTSB report identified improperly hardened metal splines on the control actuators had sheared, causing loss of control and identified the probable cause as being failure by the "flight control system manufacturer to meet design (hardness) specifications".

It’s that time a year. When I dream of biting into huge juicy homegrown tomatoes, making pesto with my basil plants, and snapping off sugar peas to devour as an afternoon snack. It’s much too early for any of those dreams to happen quite yet, but I know with some patience and tending to the garden, the day will come.
It was those little tinges of spring fever that sent me much too early to the nursery to pick up some basil and tomatoes. I recklacly planted those seedlings into my raised beds. When I ventured into the garden again, I saw my sweet friends limp and sad. I’m a killer. The poor basil couldn’t be saved, but the tomatoes have since tried their best to thrive.
So I had to do what any good gardener does….off to shop for more plants. Luckily the Bush Barn had a charity sale a few weekends back and I was able to scoop up some more basil (among other things) to add to my collection. This time, after listening to the advice of a friend’s wise mother-in-law, I placed my seedlings in my window sill. I also re-potted them in white tea cups with little critters adorning (and watching over them). Now someone just has to let me know when it’s safe to plant these little suckers outside. Until then, I’ll enjoy the lovely view.

The prevalence of food intolerances and allergies is increasing. And here you will find all about food sensitivity and food intolerances. We carry a selection of natural remedies for food intolerance. So if you have symptoms of food intolerance we can help. Browse through our website and get natural remedies for food intolerance today. More and more people are discovering that they are experiencing reactions to items that never bothered them before; or, if they already have allergies or intolerances that their symptoms are changing for the worse. Some people are described as "panallergic" or "universal reactors," meaning they have adverse reactions to almost everything. There are apparently many causes such as genetic tendencies, deficiencies, organ, gland or system dysfunction, exposure to poisons, toxic overload, denatured (altered), adulterated, and depleted foods, artificial non-foods, and more.
Total load refers to an individual's threshold of tolerance -- like a rain barrel that becomes full and overflows, so your body overflows and produces symptoms. A person's body has a threshold of tolerance to external and internal insults which is cumulative, relating to the amount of exposure; physiological parameters (digestive health, intestinal permeability, liver or kidney function, etc.) nutritional status; physical/mental/emotional stress; and more. Total load overflow does not occur overnight; it gradually develops whether by daily choices or unavoidable circumstances.
For instance, perhaps Jane's migraine headaches are due to a combination of stress on her job, a deficiency of vitamin C complex and minerals that contribute to fragility and spasm of blood vessel walls, accumulation of pesticide residues from foods, overuse of her detoxification pathways from inhaling formaldehyde from her new mattress, MSG and chemical additives in her diet, and misalignment of vertebra in her neck. It may take only the removal of two or three things to sufficiently reduce her total load and give her some relief. Getting counseling or changing her job, obtaining proper nutritional supplementation, switching to organically-produced foods, covering her mattress with barrier cloth, and getting chiropractic treatments or massage therapy for her neck could solve the headache problem. The more the total load is reduced, the better the outcome.
Total body load is affected by both foods eaten and foods omitted from the diet. People with food sensitivities feel best when they consume high-quality, organically-raised foods - foods without drug, hormone or pesticide residues, foods without preservatives or other chemical additives, nutrient-dense fresh foods grown or raised on high quality soil. This is an essential factor in overcoming food allergies or intolerances.
Digestive disturbances are often associated with food reactions. Gastrointestinal contamination can result from eating chemically-treated, commercially grown foods. Conversely, fresh organic foods enhance gastrointestinal balance and absorption, delivering a good quantity of nutrients to any damaged organs or tissues and increasing the defenses and function of healthy ones. When less chemically contaminated food is used, there is reduced competition for absorption of toxic chemical contaminants versus healthful nutrients.
Nutrient values of foods are altered in the farming stage by cultivation of limited genetic varieties, monocropping, mechanical disruption of soil, and the use of artificial fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. Persistent residues of pesticides and herbicides in the soils adversely affect crop yields, influence the quantity, quality, nutritive value, and flavors of the raw food or food products processed from it. Biodynamically grown and/or organically-grown foods have been shown to be far superior to those raised commercially - nutritional values are often vastly higher. Pesticides and herbicides can affect the carbohydrate, protein, fat, and free amino acids composition of plants, as well as their uptake of minerals from the soil. Vitamin content is negatively influenced. Pesticides and herbicides "disturb and alter metabolism of the plants to which they are applied." Each consumer has a threshold over which he/she can no longer accommodate this altered food; then symptoms begin to appear or worsen.
Commercially-raised animals are often given feeds containing items unnatural for the specific breed (such as dead animals, blood, manure, etc.) or unnatural to any animal (such as sawdust, old newspapers, shredded tires, etc.). Unnatural and cruel environments, heavy use of antibiotics and other drugs to manage unhealthy animals, hormones for quick growth, and the use of nutrient-depleted, chemically-treated, and pesticide-laden feeds all contribute to contaminated and nutritionally altered animals. Consumption of these artificially-raised animals is a perfect set-up for chemical and food sensitivities.
More foods are being genetically engineered. The cascade of chemical reactions they can produce can easily overwhelm the body‘s apparatus for fighting it. There is as yet no way to tell what effects genetically-engineered foods are having on humans consuming them.
The diagnosis and treatment of food sensitivities has become "immensely complicated with the discovery of the adverse effects of food contaminants." Over 10,000 intentional food additives are currently used in foods. Exposure can cause changes in the human immune system and just about any other area of the body. Some of these additives are: "antispoilant" chemicals, acids and alkalies, buffers and neutralizing agents, humectants, food colorings or dyes, flavoring agents, flavor enhancers (such as monosodium glutamate [MSG] to which, according to some researchers, as many as 80% of the population may react with symptoms ranging from fatigue to migraine headaches), bleaching agents, physiological-activity-control chemicals serving as ripeners or antimetabolic agents (ethylene gas, for example, speeds the ripening of bananas; maleic hydrazide prevents potatoes from sprouting), maturing agents, processing aids, sanitizing agents, clarifying agents, emulsifiers and emulsion stabilizers, texturizers, thickeners, stabilizers, whipping agents, and more. Not all artificial additives produce immediate or obvious symptoms in everyone. Problems are more evident in the highly sensitive or those with a high total load.
Accumulations and combinations of these chemicals can gradually cause the body to breakdown and lead to symptoms and disease. Many people are allergic to even tiny amounts of these compounds. It is estimated that the average person ingests one gallon of food additives each year.
Also contributing to toxic overload are artificial sweeteners, waxes, fake fats, and any altered or refined or overly-processed non-food (supplying noxious substances and little, if any, nutrition). People are hungry - people with allergies or intolerances are very hungry - not for calories, but for nourishment. There is a dire need to consume whole, natural, nutrient-dense foods, foods "custom designed" to feed body and spirit. Whole foods are expertly balanced with the right nutrients in the right combinations to be absorbed and assimilated with components to aid detoxification. But the food industry has robbed consumers of the perfect fuels required for health. The food industry has created fabricated foods not recognized or accepted by the body as real, natural food. This is a primary cause of toxicity as well as allergies and intolerances. The body has a built-in survival and balancing instinct, allowing it to signal that it can no longer tolerate the insults, that it has reached its limit. Food is grown on depleted soils with poisons. Food is mutilated, mangled, colored, waxed, and embalmed with chemicals. Disruptive, harmful substances are added - from refined sugars to bad fats, from artificial flavors to manufactured chemical "nutrients." This is not because it is good for people's health but it is very good for increased profits for business.
When the food we eat is out of balance - when it is altered, denatured, depleted, and defiled - our bodies also become out of balance. When the life is taken out of our food, the life is also taken out of the human body. Not only does good taste go, but so do nourishment and the consumer's vitality and wellbeing. Technological advances have tricked many of us into thinking that essential parts of foods can be removed, and manufactured chemicals can be substituted and changes to the remnants can be made, and the end products can still be called "food." The wonders of science have convinced many people that their bodies can use such contrivances to maintain health - and that, should things go wrong, there is something that can be done to "fix" it. Our complex body breaks down when degenerated, adulterated, depleted, and deformed non-food is fed into it. For one thing, allergies or intolerances to foods develop, even to foods that should be recognized as natural and good. Still, the body is remarkable, ready and willing to fight back, to repair and heal if possible.
A study on cardiovascular rehabilitation placed volunteers on an elimination and rotation diet, eliminating all refined, processed, fried, and manufactured foods. One or two types of food in their natural state in unlimited quantities were eaten at each meal. No food was repeated in any one week. Caffeine was not allowed. This resulted in needed weight loss, reduced blood pressure, significant reduction in triglycerides, increased HDL (so-called "good") cholesterol, and normalization of glucose and insulin levels. This type of natural diet "works" with many other disorders and diseases too. Elimination and/or rotation diets have successfully improved problems such as learning disabilities, arthritis, fibromyalgia, digestive disturbances, asthma, anxiety, and others too numerous to list.
When there is severe toxic overload, food recognition is impaired, malabsorption occurs, and a person becomes sensitive to most foods. A severely sensitive individual with a high total pollutant load may not even have had to be exposed to a food to be extremely sensitive to it. Evidently, recognition and metabolic sites are so dysfunctional at this stage that the individual reacts to substances such as buffalo meat or amaranth to which he/she has never been exposed. A mono-rotation diet may be needed for a while, gradually adding other foods to meals. If nutrient-rich, whole organically-raised foods are eaten, nutritional status and tolerance improve. Some patients who do not respond to a classical rotary diet do respond to a macrobiotic diet (on a four-day rotation). Some people do best with mostly raw foods, others with mostly cooked foods. A trial-and-error period may ensue, and needs may change as health improves. The common thread is the importance of organically-raised, unrefined, minimally-processed, fresh, additive- and preservative-free foods.
The growing prevalence of complex, multisystem disorders in persons with allergies or intolerances indicates weakened and compromised bodily systems. Elimination and rotation diets alone may not always produce significant improvement because of a failure to reduce or eliminate a sufficient number of factors contributing to total load - from indoor air pollution to fluoridated water, from nutritional deficiencies to psychological issues - any stresses that may exist. The clinician and patient must work together as a detective team to discover the clues and appropriate actions. Fortunately, most people suffer with only one or a few allergies or intolerances. i
The alteration of foods and the depletion of their nutrient supply over the course of the last century or so has had a long-term negative impact on the ability to maintain optimum human health and definitely worsens or initiates chemical and food sensitivities. For example, wheat and cow's milk are foods to which many people develop an allergy or intolerance.
Grain proteins (including gluten, gliadin, and glutenins) have been blamed for many symptoms and disorders. Gluten sensitivity can manifest, not only in celiac disease, but in dermatitis herpetiformis, neurologic disorders, and many other conditions. However, some people who cannot tolerate wheat can handle spelt and/or kamut - other forms of wheat that also contain gluten. These ancient grains have not yet been subjected to the toxic farming and excessive processing as has common wheat. Barley, rye, oats, quinoa, millet, buckwheat, amaranth, and tef also contain gluten, though in lesser amounts than wheat. Some or all of them are well tolerated by many wheat-sensitive individuals. About 90% of the wheat grown is soft wheat, lower in proteins (like gluten) than hard or durum wheat. So more than gluten may be involved.
Over the last 100 or more years, wheat has changed drastically and the amount of wheat in the average diet has increased considerably. Adverse reactions to wheat "may be linked to toxic pesticides and/or herbicides in the grains" and not to the wheat itself. Wheat is now exposed to high levels of pesticides, fungicides and other chemicals when grown. The grain undergoes a bewildering array of processes before being used in products. The germ - rich in protein, minerals, vitamin E complex, and B vitamins - is removed as is the bran, the fiber part that also contains nutrients. Until about 50 years ago, wheat was stored for months and allowed to age to improve flavor. Nowadays, chemical oxidizing agents are used like potassium bromate to age wheat within 48 hours. The natural yellow color of flour is bleached away with chemicals such as benzoyl peroxide. To neutralize the bleaching agent, another chemical is added. Irradiation is commonly used to avoid insect contamination. Finally, preservatives and conditioners are added to improve shelf life and texture. The grain is completely transformed! Most nutrients are lost. A paltry few artificial chemicals called vitamins and minerals are added, but the body cannot easily assimilate them and cannot use them as natural food complexes. All to increase profits! Wheat in bygone days was allowed to naturally germinate or was naturally leavened, making it easier to digest and more nutritious. The modern, overly-processed excuse for wheat can contribute to intolerance to any form of wheat. Virtually all mass-produced wheat is hybrid, created offspring of differing parents, which can alter basic makeup.
Milk allergy is a reaction to milk proteins (such as casein or whey). Those with true dairy allergy - or milk protein intolerance (if no immune response is found) - may experience symptoms that vary greatly in intensity and severity. Reactions can lead to anaphylactic shock. Milk intolerance is often an inability to digest lactose, the main sugar in milk. Whereas 2% to 4% of children have milk allergy, an estimated 10% of Americans suffer from lactose intolerance. They purportedly do not produce enough of the enzyme lactase to digest all the lactose. When excessive undigested lactose reaches the large intestine, it can cause bloating, gas, cramps, nausea, and diarrhea. Some dairy products (like natural cheeses, ice cream, yogurt) contain much less lactose than milk does so may be more easily tolerated.
During the past century or so, cows and their milk have been subjected to much INhuman intervention. Cows are raised in unnatural environments, fed foods not natural for them and foods laced with pesticides, given hormones to boost milk production, subjected to antibiotics and other drugs to mask their unhealthy state. The milk is then pasteurized, homogenized, and chemically spiked.
Consider just the effects of pasteurization. Pasteurization:
Can be used to mask low-quality, "dirty" (as from insect and fecal material) milk.
Destroys the souring bacteria of milk so milk putrefies instead of souring.
Destroys beneficial enzymes and hormones, taking the living principles out of milk.
Impairs the flavor (a sign of inferior nutrition), diminishes the nutrient value, and devitalizes the milk.
Greatly depletes vitamin content such as vitamins A, C, and B complex.
Precipitates calcium and other minerals, making them unavailable for use.
Harms and alters the fats to unnatural forms.
Significantly reduces the biological value of - damages -- the protein by denaturing amino acids.
Curtails absorption and utilization of nutrients.
Makes natural sugars or carbohydrates less available metabolically.
Destroys the active "anti-stiffness factor," a steroid nutrient.
The list can go on and on.
Lactose, the primary sugar in milk, appears as alpha-lactose in raw milk, but is changed to beta-lactose with pasteurization. Beta-lactose is more rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. Lactose intolerance is the inability of the body to split lactose into glucose and galactose. This occurs either because of the absence of the enzyme lactase in the small intestines OR the deactivation of lactase by pasteurization. Either way, some "whole" lactose is absorbed through the intestinal wall and disposed of by the kidneys; the rest passes into the large intestine where intestinal bacteria work on it. The more work the bacteria perform, the more "gas" is produced, causing flatulence, abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea. The unavailability of lactose in its natural, unheated alpha form often leads to diminished lactase secretion by the small intestine and thus to intolerance. Some people with severe milk intolerance actually tolerate raw milk and they thrive on it! Unfortunately some people cannot tolerate ANY form of milk.
Fermented pasteurized milk products, such as yogurt or kefir, are often easier to digest. The bacteria that transform or ferment the milk break down or "digest" some of the beta-lactose. Once in the small intestine, the fermented milk bacteria further cleave much of the remaining lactose. Fermented dairy products should contain live, active cultures. ii
Digestion is a problem for most allergic or intolerant people. Some have low (or virtually absent) levels of hydrochloric acid in their stomachs; a few others have elevated levels. Those with low gastric acid need hydrochloric acid supplementation, but often cannot tolerate it, or it does not alleviate all digestive problems. Many people are deficient in digestive enzymes and need enzyme supplementation with substances such as pancrease, papase, trypsin, lipase, etc. Some have an imbalance of bacterial flora in the gut. Probiotics such as acidophilus may be needed to rebalance the flora. Refined sugars, other refined foods, alcohol, stress some drugs, over-stimulate the pancreas, impairing its ability to produce and secrete digestive enzymes as well as its ability to neutralize the acid coming from the stomach with bicarbonates. Excessive acid, which can destroy digestive enzymes, irritates the gut lining. Innumerable toxic chemicals and toxic foods over-stress the liver, one consequence of which is lowered bile output and lowered ability to digest fat. The most important aspects of improved digestion are the reduction of the total body pollutant load and the improvement of nutritional status.
All types and degrees of malabsorption may occur in the allergic or intolerant patient, ranging from mild specific nutrient malabsorption to general calorie malabsorption. There are usually multiple deficiencies of nutrients due to failure to either incorporate or absorb them. Pollutant damage may be involved; supplementation may correct this damage IF the pollutants are withdrawn to reduce total load. In some cases, supplementation may not help immediately. Sometimes the metabolic rate is too high due to the body's attempts to detoxify the toxic overload and nutrient requirements are used up. Patients with diarrhea or loose stools have excessively rapid transient time, so nutrients are not properly absorbed. Those with constipation may appear to have some forms of what old medical books referred to as autointoxication, a retention or self-production of poisons or toxins. The body interprets certain foods as being poisonous or is unable to properly digest, absorb, and assimilate foods. Urinary leaks of various nutrients may occur. Eventually, nutrients can be properly absorbed and used if the underlying causes are treated.
Scientists studying allergies and intolerances contend that food reactions are often due to a damaged, inflamed, and more permeable mucous-membrane lining of the esophagus, stomach, and intestines. In other words, an individual's digestive tract can become too permeable (a so-called "leaky gut"), allowing larger than normal food particles (and sometimes toxins and other chemicals) to enter the bloodstream improperly and cause reactions. Though it seems paradoxal, a hyper-permeable gastrointestinal tract frequently causes lowered nutrient absorption. Anything that insults or injures the lining of the intestines can cause inflammation and increased permeability. This includes any number of nutritional deficiencies, pancreatic and other digestive insufficiencies, irritating or toxic chemicals (such as caffeine, alcohol, food additives, pesticide residues, etc.) refined or processed foods (especially sweets), drugs (like NSAIDs -- Motrin, Aleve, Advil, aspirin, etc.), preexisting food allergies or intolerances, chemicals to which one is sensitive, intestinal dysbiosis (disruption of normal flora, often due to antibiotics), protozoan parasite toxins, psychological stresses, and more. Refined, processed, chemical-laden foods increase vulnerability to leaky gut and make healing the intestine much harder. These so-called "foods" lack healing nutrients, so doubly lower nutrient status. Once the intestinal lining becomes damaged and/or inflamed, the spaces between the gut-lining cells enlarge, allowing larger-than-normal food particles to slip through or leak into the bloodstream. The immune system does not recognize these larger particles as "normal," so begins to engulf, break down, and get rid of these substances as "foreign" entities. Even harmless, totally natural foods may then be classified as toxic by the body.
Injured or irritated intestinal linings do not secrete digestive enzymes adequately to digest foods properly or absorb nutrients. Carrier proteins are damaged, so malabsorption and nutritional deficiencies occur. These deficiencies inhibit the ability of the intestines to heal and can cause any number of symptoms in the body. When the detoxification pathways that line the intestines are compromised, chemical sensitivities can arise. The leakage of toxins - substances that were never supposed to be absorbed through the intestinal walls - overburdens the liver and kidneys so that the body is less able to handle everyday chemicals in food, water, and air. Many foods will then cause symptoms that never did before because the body's detoxification system is unable to cope with the multiplicity of chemical additives, dyes, preservatives, pesticides, refining, and alterations common to commercial food.
Abnormal or inadequate bacterial flora of the intestines may have an important role in food intolerance. Abnormal flora may arise particularly following use of antibiotics, surgery, radiation, or gastroenteritis, all of which may depress the colonization resistance of the gut and allow new organisms to become established in the colon. Overgrowth of Candida albicans in the intestines is one possibility. The huge number of fungal elements introduced into foods by the industry for various reasons (including amylase [bread], hemicellulose [fruit juices], and citric acid acidulant [virtually all processed foods and soft drinks]) can affect intestinal bacterial balance. There is now considerable evidence indicating the colon breaks down food residues by fermentation using its enzyme-producing bacteria. Some scientists believe "a healthy gut flora reduces the risk of food hypersensitivity."
In order to heal the injured digestive tract, the causes must be found and removed. Foods to which one has developed a sensitivity must be avoided. NSAIDs or other irritating drugs may need to be limited or omitted. Chemicalized processed ‘nonfoods,' caffeine, alcohol, and other irritating, compromising items should be avoided. Digestive supplements may be needed to assist digestion and absorption. Probiotics (including acidophilus, bulgaricum, bifidus, and others) may be important to reinoculate the intestines with beneficial bacterial flora. Traditionally, probiotics came from naturally fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, miso, sauerkraut, etc. Prebiotics are also helpful -- "food" for friendly bacteria found in whole grains, beans, starchy vegetables, and fruits. One prebiotic is FOS, fructo-oligosaccharides, found in Jerusalem artichokes, onions, and garlic. FOS supplements are not very stable and not all friendly bacteria eat FOS, so it is better to obtain FOS and other prebiotics from whole, natural foods. Food supplements to improve nutritional status can be invaluable, though caution should be used to avoid ingredients that are not well tolerated. Many supplements can aid in repairing intestinal walls as well as support detoxification and general healing. But synthetic or fractionated vitamins, minerals, amino acids, or other parts or imitations of foods often become allergenic and do not deal with the cause of the problem - they are not natural to the body and simply add to the total load.
To restore good digestive tract function, only whole natural foods should be consumed. Foods should be chewed thoroughly, only clean water (such as natural spring water) should be used, mealtimes should be peaceful, physical exercise should be regular, emotional stresses should be resolved. Stress - whether physical, mental, emotional, environmental, dietary, thermal, or chemical -- contributes to allergies and intolerances by changing the body's physical and mental responses. The lining of the digestive tract is essential to detoxification and contains 40% to 60% of the body's immune tissue. A stressed and over-stimulated immune system can become hypersensitive to various chemicals and foods. It is therefore not unusual that most all individuals with food allergy or intolerance have some digestive disruptions. "Proper digestion is a key factor in recovering from food sensitivities." iii
Nothing works better than avoidance for the treatment of food allergies and intolerances. After total avoidance for anywhere from three to 48 months, tolerance may return. Small amounts of the offensive food can be tried -- each person must experiment to find out how much he/she can tolerate. After a period of eating small amounts of the food without experiencing a reaction, it may be incorrectly assumed that the sensitivity no longer exists. Then more of the food is eaten, old habits reinstated, and symptoms may reappear. If this occurs, it is necessary to stop eating the food and see if there is improvement.
A study in Norway involved patients with food intolerance to wheat and/or dairy that had been studied four years previously and had since eliminated those foods with positive results. Eating normal amounts of these foods again significantly increased symptoms such as intestinal discomforts, headaches, joint and muscle pain, etc. Even after four years of abstinence, symptoms may return.
For some people, a rotation diet (in which each type of food is eaten only once every four days) helps to reintroduce foods. Once allergies or intolerances have been identified and these foods eliminated from the diet for 60 to 90 days, most can be reintroduced - one food at a time every four days -- as long as a rotation diet is maintained. If there are no symptoms within 48 hours, then it is safe to try the food again in four days. If there is still no difficulty, the food may be added to the regular rotation diet. However, if symptoms are experienced every time the food is eaten, the item should be avoided again for six months, and then tried with a 10-day interval between exposures. If symptoms occur with each exposure to the food, it is possible that there have been inadvertent exposures when the person thought the food was being avoided, OR there is a fixed food sensitivity and the item must be totally eliminated from the diet. In many cases, a rotation diet can be discontinued once sufficient healing takes place. iv
Desensitization with injectable homeopathic remedies has aided some people, often in addition to other treatments. Homeopathic remedies are used to treat sensitivities with classic or special extracts of allergens prepared by diluting the substances homeopathically.
Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET) combines kinesiology and acupuncture or acupressure to test and treat allergies and intolerances. Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) involves basic muscle testing to remove emotional blocks that prevent regaining one's health, thus treating biochemical, structural, and emotional aspects. Enzyme potentiated desensitization (EPD) utilizes small doses of allergens and the enzyme beta glucuronidase to desensitize people. The enzyme is supposed to increase and alter the effects of the antigen as a "messenger" in the immune system. Sublingual food extracts can be helpful, though they are not a panacea substituting for dietary and environmental clean-up measures. They are used for symptom control and are usually given before exposure to the offending food.
Although these and other therapies provide relief for some people, it is still important to follow a healthy diet of low-toxic, whole, prepared-from scratch foods with minimal processing and refining in addition to other methods of reducing total load. Supplementation and digestive aids are usually required. Drugs may relieve symptoms but do not correct the underlying conditions. Allergy injections do not directly help food allergy. They indirectly stimulate the immune system, further stressing the body. Occasionally, people have died when they were injected with foods.
Looking to the healthiest people on the planet, it is not a coincidence that societies that eat simple, organically-raised, unadulterated, unaltered foods are comparatively free of chronic diseases including food allergies and intolerances and live into old age with health, energy, and independence. Specific foods and proportions may differ from culture to culture, but the basic principles remain the same. v

The sales tax department is assessing the sale of flats in over 400 building projects which are under construction in Mumbai.
A senior sales tax official said assessment notices had been issued to private developers carrying out the construction. The department wants to know from the developer how many flats have been sold in under-construction properties. The sale records will be later scrutinized by the department.
The state government introduced a new composition scheme in the state budget earlier this year. Under the scheme flat sales in an under-construction property (before issuance of completion certificate) would attract a service tax of 1% of the agreement value of the transaction. While the new regime is applicable to all under-construction flats/units sold after June 20, 2006 (date on which transfer of under-construction property was brought under the ambit of value added tax), sales tax officials said that assessment notices had not been issued to all concerned private developers.
The Maharashtra Chamber of Housing Industry (MCHI) , a leading association of builders, challenged the decision to levy the tax on under-construction property in the Bombay high court. "As the court is yet to order a final decision in this regard, assessment notices have been issued only to non-MCHI members," a senior sales tax official said. The court, while hearing the petition, absolved MCHI members from registration and assessment under the scheme, till the disposal of the case.
However relief has not been extended to non-MCHI members , whose sales records are now being scrutinized . " Only a handful of developers had availed the scheme following the notices. The department has so far collected nearly Rs one crore in tax from few developers. Some others have sought details regarding the composition scheme stating they were willing to comply, while others have sought protection quoting the court relief for MCHI members," the senior official added.
Meanwhile MCHI members have been spared the assessment headache. During the pendency of the petition, the department however has sought information on flat sales in projects undertaken by them.


Exploding air bags have led to one of the biggest auto recalls in history, one that’s five times larger than GM’s ignition-switch fiasco. How did this happen?
Several large automakers including BMW and Honda have used the air bags, made by Japanese company Takata Corporation, the largest supplier of air bags parts in the world. Now they have had to recall millions of cars after the defective driver’s-side air bags have been blamed for at least five deaths and more than 100 injuries in the past decade.

SA-A03 SAEC™ System carbine replica – Half-Tan
The SA-A03 carbine replica by Specna Arms is made mostly of a uniform zinc and aluminum alloy, with the use of steel elements in the most sensitive points of the replica (so all screws, pins and the tactical sling handle are made of steel). The stock of the SF type battery, as well as the pistol grip, are made of polymer plastic. The body of the replica and the set of RIS rails have been anodized, which guarantees a high degree of protection of the replica against corrosion. The painting of the replica itself was made using the powder coating process, after prior sandblasting of the surface. This ensures a much higher than usual abrasion resistance of the applied paint. USMC markings have been applied to the body.
The Half-Tan version has a pistol grip, stock and magazine made in tan. In addition, the set includes 2 covers for RIS rails, made of soft plastic, also in tan color. They can be easily cut to fit rails of different lengths.
The replica was fitted very well – in a way that could be observed almost exclusively with G&P or Classic Army class manufacturers – and perfectly balanced. This ensures perfect maneuverability of the replica, and its weight is almost imperceptible when the replica is placed next to the shoulder.
The replica uses a new generation quick spring replacement system, the so-called SAEC™. This allows for quick and efficient adjustment of the power of the replica to the conditions expected on the playing field without the need to have access to a workshop or a number of specialized tools. The spring replacement process is now even faster than in the previous version of the system.
Thanks to the SAEC™ System, there is no need to remove the gearbox from the replica – just remove the stock guide (without the use of tools – it is fastened with a screw-on ring and a latch), and then unscrew the special pin located under it together with the bearing spring guide. We replace the mainspring, screw the pin back into the body, attach the stock, and then… we’re back in the game! The whole operation takes literally a moment, and let us repeat: it does not require any tools.
The advantages of the SAEC™ System cannot be overestimated. In the light of the Europe-wide tendency to apply legal restrictions on the muzzle velocity of the replica and the arrangements existing within the environments themselves, this system guarantees the user considerable possibilities and a lot of freedom. The SAEC™ System allows with minimal effort to replace the main spring, and thus to adjust the muzzle velocity of the replica to the area of the game so as to guarantee an ideal compromise between the effectiveness of fire and the safety of oneself and other players.
The replica has been fully adapted to work with LiPo and LiFe batteries. Thanks to the basic initial muzzle velocity of ~430 FPS guaranteed by the factory-installed main spring, the replica is perfect for medium-range operations. The set also includes an M90 spring, which allows you to reduce the initial speed to ~ 310 FPS, thus making the replica perfectly adapted to short-range operations or inside buildings.
The gearbox, reinforced at the height of the cylinder head, hides a steel spring guide that is part of the SAEC™ System and steel gears mounted on 8-mm ball bearings and washers. The system is secured with four anti-return latches. The lightweight piston, made of polycarbonate plastic, is equipped with a set of steel teeth to increase its strength.
A type 2 cylinder and a steel breaker were also used here. The replica is pre-installed with an accurate, rotary, polymer Hop-Up chamber, which allows for very precise and stable adjustment of the BB spin system.
The Upgraded version has a number of new, reinforced parts, such as:
– a set of reinforced steel gears
– bearing, steel spring guide
– light, polymer piston with a steel strip
– aluminum, sealed piston head
– metal cylinder head
– sealed metal nozzle
The replica is equipped with a top 22 mm RIS rail, a set of front RIS rails and an adjustable stock. Metal flip-up sights have been mounted on the upper RIS rail, but they can be freely replaced by any optoelectronic sighting device. Thanks to the extendable stock with a non-slip footplate, it is possible to adjust the length of the replica to the build and preferences of the shooter. The standard flash hider is mounted on a 14-millimeter left-hand thread, which allows you to attach a sound suppressor in its place.
To increase the realism of the game, the replica is also equipped with a working bolt release.
The set with the replica also includes a steel hi-cap magazine that holds 300 BBs.
Specna Arms replicas are compatible with many magazines available on the market, including from such manufacturers as:
– Airsoft Systems,
– King Arms,
The SAEC™ system is covered by the European Patent Number: 002639500
Additional accessories visible in the illustrative photos are not included in the set!
The set does not include the battery and charger.
The kit includes:
– mechanical sights
– additional main spring
According to the report number HKGEC1600157401
The product meets the requirements of the EU RoHS Directive – Restriction of Hazardous Substances, Directive 2011/65/EU annex II; recasting Directive 2002/95/EC
Dealing with limiting the content of hazardous substances in electronics.
Which means that Specna Arms replicas are free from harmful materials such as:
– hexavalent chromium
– polybrominated biphenyl (PBB)
– polybrominated phenyl ether (PBDE)
