“Built in 1903, the Midland is a Manchester landmark, renowned as the place where Messrs Rolls and Royce first met to talk cars. The hotel recently underwent a major refurbishment but still retains a very traditional, living-history feel. The rooms have a genteel air with tortoise-shell vanity units and wardrobes, while tradition lovers can partake of afternoon tea in the Octagon Bar. The French, the hotel’s signature restaurant, with its crushed-red velour interior and renaissance prints, remains the place for fine dining with a theatrical flourish.”
Written by David Atkinson
“If you’re looking for hotels in Manchester look no further: The Midland has it all. Conveniently located in the heart of the city centre, this Grade II listed treasure oozes luxury, comfort and style, and enjoys a history that leaves other Manchester hotels out in the cold.
Over the course of its 100 year history, The Midland Hotel in Manchester has welcomed many a king, queen, president and rock star. And, should you choose to stay with us, it’s where you will be treated like royalty too.
The red-bricked Victoriana that Manchester is famous for is perfectly captured in the architecture of The Midland Hotel, Manchester. The building’s characteristic style continues inside, where you’ll find opulent decor, rich fabrics and shimmering chandeliers.”

How do I setup zone aware routing?¶
There are several steps required for enabling zone aware routing between source service (“cluster_a”) and destination service (“cluster_b”).
Envoy configuration on the source service¶
This section describes the specific configuration for the Envoy running side by side with the source service. These are the requirements:
Envoy must be launched with
--service-zoneoption which defines the zone for the current host.
Both definitions of the source and the destination clusters must have EDS type.
local_cluster_name must be set to the source cluster.
Only essential parts are listed in the configuration below for the cluster manager.
cluster_manager: local_cluster_name: cluster_a static_resources: clusters: - name: cluster_a type: EDS eds_cluster_config: ... - name: cluster_b type: EDS eds_cluster_config: ...
Envoy configuration on the destination service¶
It’s not necessary to run Envoy side by side with the destination service, but it’s important that each host in the destination cluster registers with the discovery service queried by the source service Envoy. Zone information must be available as part of that response.
Only zone related data is listed in the response below.
locality: zone: us-east-1d
The above configuration is necessary for zone aware routing, but there are certain conditions when zone aware routing is not performed.

(Nov 10 2016) (Nov 28 2016)
Everyone seems to be all giddy about Trump’s cabinet appointments and candidates he is considering for Secretary of State. Let me preface this post by saying YOU NEED TO MAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO EVERYTHING POSTED. I cannot sum up/ do justice to the dire warnings Mark Levin has issued when it comes to Sen Bob Corker.
As Levin promised, he will got to WAR if Bob Corker is appointed Sec of State. With all the names being floated around, Trump is considering, Corker is by far the worst. SoS is one of the most important and powerful positions (4th in line to the presidency) to be held. Do you remember the Iran nuke deal? Do you remember how mad you were about it? Corker more of less undermined the Senate and ceded Constitutional powers to obama in 2015 with his bill that allowed the Iran nuke deal to go forward!
As explained last year, Levin went totally ballistic laying it all out because no one is comprehending what was in the Corker bill they all supported and voted for. Not surprising since clearly NO ONE reads the bills!
“Under this bill instead of needing 2/3 of Senators present to approve a treaty, this bill with “obama’s blessing” only requires 60 now and a supermajority of 67 to override a presidential veto! “Now we need a super-majority to override the president rather than a super-majority where the president needs approval for a treaty“.”
Even Fox’s Brit Hume saw the writing on the wall of what Corker had done issuing a similar warning, where again I did my best to lay it all out…
“The Senate has come up with a measure that has reversed the treaty ratification process to allow this Iran deal to get Senate approval. Sen Corker and company have more of less made it impossible to stop obama or any other future president from entering into a treaty! Here’s why, under Corkers Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act 60 votes are needed for approval, 67 votes would be required to override a presidential veto! This is the complete opposite of how a treaty, and this is what the Iran deal is, gets approved!”
Corkers bill ceding power to obama and future presidents cannot be overlooked let alone dismissed. He has demonstrated he has the ability to undermine the US Constitution and the nations safety. This is not the type of person to be a representation of the American people and the next administration as Sec of State. If Corker is capable of flipping the Treaty Clause, that enabled the Iran nuclear deal to go forward, what will he do as SoS?! Even if Pres-Elect Trump tears up the nuke deal, Corker’s bill still exists… it’s law! If you don’t think this makes Corker the WORST Candidate for Secretary of State then maybe you don’t care too much about the Constitution or national security!

NIST, DHS Publish Preliminary Performance Goals for Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Department of Homeland Security have jointly developed preliminary performance goals for the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure control systems.
NIST and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency identified nine categories of cybersecurity practices that will serve as the foundation of the performance goals. The guidance is expected to drive the adoption of effective practices and controls, NIST said.
The goals tackle risk management and cybersecurity governance; architecture and design; configuration and change management; physical security; system and data integrity, availability and confidentiality; continuous monitoring and vulnerability management; training and awareness; incident response and recovery; and supply chain risk management.
Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Maryorkas and Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo said the goals are long overdue and will serve as the first step in an effort to address national security challenges.
“It is vital that critical infrastructure owners and operators immediately take steps to strengthen their cybersecurity posture toward these high-level goals,” Mayorkas and Ramondo said in a Sept. 22 joint statement.
CISA defines critical infrastructure sectors as those whose assets, systems and networks are essential for security, national economic security or public health and safety.
The agency currently recognizes 16 such sectors, including the chemical, commercial facilities, communications, defense industrial base, emergency services, energy, health care and information technology sectors. Lawmakers have proposed legislation seeking to add the space sector to the list.
NIST added that the nine goals support President Joe Biden‘s July 28 memorandum on improving the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure control systems across the private sector and all levels of government.

Power Flush Sleaford
Has your central heating become less efficient? Are you have to run your boiler for longer hours to keep your home? Or maybe you have been noticing cold spots along the pipework? All these are signs that there could be a blockage in your central heating system which is usually caused by build-up sludge, rust and debris.
If not removed, these impurities can cause permanent damage to your central heating and cause your boiler to fail to force you to make expensive replacements. At 2 RED we have many years of experience working with boilers and central heating and our power flush Sleaford service is the perfect solution to get your central heating and radiators working properly again by removing the impurities and clearing the blockages. We also advise our clients to consider having a power flush done before installing a new boiler to make sure there are no blockages that could affect the new boiler.
What is Power Flushing?
Power flushing is a process used to remove impurities from the central heating and restore the efficiency of the system. Power flushing can help to solve most problems experienced by central heating systems and allow you to enjoy a more efficient system that functions silently and is able to produce hot water quickly.
The power flush Sleaford process is carried out in three phases. In the first one, we add a chemical into the system to help loosen the dirt, deposits and sludge. For the best results, we circulate the chemical around the system and through all the radiators before reversing to remove all the dirt that has been collected.
In the second phase, we connect the mains supply and the radiator flush circuits and pump in water at high speeds to flush out any traces of the sludge or deposits. The water used for the flush is continuously discarded until it comes out clean which signifies that all the impurities have been flushed out.
The last phase is a preventative measure that ensures you enjoy an efficient system for a long time to come. We add an inhibitor that prevents the accumulation of sludge and deposits in the system and also protects the pipes against corrosion.
Benefits of Power Flushing
- It is cost efficient – compared to the cost of replacing your central heating or having to pay for frequent repairs, it is much cheaper to have a power flush Sleaford done. It is even better considering that you are also able to make other savings on energy because of the more efficient and less wasteful system.
- Improved lifespan – the greatest problem with having blockages and build-up of sludge and debris in the pipework is that it causes strain to the entire system which can lead to a premature break down of the system and the boiler. After a power flush is done, the central heating is not only able to work more efficiently but the workload is easier even on the boiler. This allows the system to be able to function properly for a longer time before you need to make any changes to the system.
If you are looking for a power flush in Sleaford, get in touch today!

Susan White is returning to her old job at Vanity Fair as the magazine’s photography director. She had left the position last fall to take a job as executive director of editorial licensing at Trunk Archive, the photo syndication agency. In returning to Vanity Fair, she is replacing her replacement, Judith Puckett-Rinella, who has held the job of Vanity Fair‘s photography director only since December. She had previously been senior photo editor at T: The New York Times Style Magazine.
In announcing White’s return, Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter said in a statement: “The depth and breadth of Susan’s knowledge, both of Vanity Fair and of the world of photography, are invaluable.” He added, “We’re so pleased she’s coming back to the magazine, not only for what she brings as a professional but also as a friend.” White first joined Vanity Fair in 1988.
White’s appointment as photography director is effective immediately.

Little is known about the neurobiological mechanisms that mediate the development and expression of abnormal repetitive behaviors (e.g., stereotypies, rituals) in children with autism spectrum, and related neurodevelopmental, disorders. This lack of knowledge precludes effective early intervention and prevention strategies. We propose to build on the biochemical and pharmacological findings from our previous grant that support our hypothesis of reduced indirect basal ganglia pathway activity in animals that develop high levels of repetitive behavior. Thus, the overall goal of this project wil be to identify specific morphological and proteomic alterations that mediate the reduced indirect pathway activation associated with high rates of repetitive behavior. Specifically, we will identif alterations in dendritic morphology and protein expression that mediate reduced indirect pathway activation and development of persistent repetitive behavior (Aim #1). Next, we will test the hypothesis that experience dependent attenuation of the development of repetitive behavior will result in higher levels of indirect pathway activation, an outcome mediated by altered dendritic spine density and protein expression (Aim #2). Finally, we will test the hypothesis that exacerbation or attenuation of repetitive behavior by select pharmacological agents alters indirect pathway activity, an effect mediated by alteration of key proteins expressed in this pathway (Aim #3). Successful completion of these aims will provide new and important information about specific neurobiological mechanisms that mediate the development and expression of repetitive behavior and provide novel therapeutic targets for the development of efficacious pharmacotherapies.

After being hit with a lawsuit by three Mississippi businessmen, who allege they are owed millions, Houston, Texas Attorneys Michael Pohl and Jimmy Williamson are asking a federal judge to dismiss the case.
Pohl and Williamson became the target of the lawsuit after Mississippi businessmen Scott Walker, Kirk Ladner and Steve Seymour alleged they steered thousands of clients to the Houston attorneys and are owed $7.9 million.
According to the lawsuit, Pohl and Williamson formed a joint venture to represent clients injured by the BP oil catastrophe from spring through summer 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico. Walker and the others argue in their lawsuit that as a result of their efforts, “many seafood restaurants and seafood dealers and other oil spill claimants in Maryland, North Carolina, the District of Columbia, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, and Alabama signed contracts to be represented” Pohl and Williamson related to their BP oil spill claims.
Walker, Ladner and Seymour filed the suit in federal court back in October, claiming they steered exactly 9,486 clients to the attorneys.
The Lone Star lawyers are denying the claims and therefore asking in separate motions that the case be dismissed.
Walker, Ladner and Seymour allege their contracts with Pohl and Williamson included $1,500 an hour payouts, according to the lawsuit. Pohl and Williamson, though, denied this claim as well.
“The essence of the plaintiffs’ claims appears to be that the plaintiffs agreed to accept or accepted money to improperly solicit BP clients for Pohl and Williamson,” the motions to dismiss say. “It is illegal for a non-lawyer to accept or agree to accept money to improperly solicit clients for a lawyer. Under both Texas and Mississippi Law, a claimant may not recover under any theory for illegal conduct.”
Final briefs for the case are expected to be filed before Jan. 20.

The East End Second Ward neighborhood welcomed Dan Burden, a world expert on walkability, on February 21 for a street audit of Navigation Boulevard.
Joined by residents and others interested in a walkable community and the infrastructure and development that support it, and sponsored by AARP, Mr. Burden had numerous ideas on how to build Complete Streets that serve pedestrians, cyclists, transit riders, and drivers.
The Greater East End District, with $5 million in federal stimulus funds to make improvements on Navigation, Samspon and York, will impact this neighborhood where over 30% walk to work or school, and depend on public transportation. And Dan Burden agrees that once the district makes improvements, businesses will be encouraged to move in, and that should generate more revenue for city and the neighborhood. “You have to get the street right”, Mr. Burden told the group.

The lemon tree is one of the most popular fruit trees to have in land, gardens and even in large pots, because it is not a too demanding tree in its care and its fruits are highly appreciated for their acid taste and their properties for health and other uses.
However, it may happen that one day we find our lemon tree with yellow leaves. This can be due to several reasons and it is very important to learn to identify them and know how to respond to them in time. If you want to learn the answers to questions such as why the lemon tree leaves turn yellow and how to cure a lemon tree with yellow leaves, join us in this Green Ecology article where you will see a guide on the causes of yellow leaves in the lemon tree and how to save it.
Yellow leaves due to lack of nitrogen
If your lemon tree shows chlorosis on the leaves , that is, they turn yellow due to a lack of chlorophyll and this affects the oldest branches first and spreads to the younger ones, we are facing a case of chlorosis due to a lack of nitrogen .
Pay special attention to how chlorosis progresses, it is important to be able to identify it. It will only be due to a lack of nitrogen if it appears first on the older leaves and progresses to the new ones, if not, it may be due to other causes.
You can remedy this problem by applying a specific citrus compost to the lemon tree, or simply adding nitrogen-rich organic fertilizer on a regular basis, such as worm castings or bokashi.
Yellow leaves due to lack of zinc
Contrary to what happens with a lack of nitrogen, if you have a lemon tree with yellow and wrinkled leaves and this begins in the new leaves and spreads to the old ones, it will surely be a lack of zinc , another micronutrient that your plant needs. .
This can also affect new shoots, which will already appear yellow and dwarfed on their newly formed leaves. Usually, the yellow color will only affect the spaces between the leaf veins, the latter preserving their common green, although in very severe cases even the veins will turn yellow.
In the case of a lack of zinc, in addition, we will also see necrosis spots on the edges of the blade, which will ensure that this is the problem.
Yellow leaves due to lack of iron or excess moisture
In the case of a lack of iron , the yellowing will also affect the new leaves first and will spread towards the older ones, although without necrosis spots or the appearance of dwarfism. The clearest peculiarity of iron deficiency is that it begins in the veins and, when severe, the leaves will turn a yellow almost white, so much so that the leaf veins will be almost impossible to discern.
This problem can occur, both due to the lack of iron in the soil, as well as because the irrigation has been excessive or the drainage very bad and the roots, drowned, are unable to absorb the element from the soil. It will be necessary to improve the drainage, space the waterings or apply iron for the lemon tree in the fertilizer.
Yellow leaves on the lemon tree due to lack of manganese
Unlike the nutrients mentioned before, the lack of manganese is identified in the lemon tree with the dry and yellow leaves because the yellowing does not occur throughout the entire leaf, if not in an irregular, almost mottled shape. That is, we find yellow spots on lemon tree leaves .
Chlorosis appears in new shoots and progresses to old ones, but dwarfism does not appear. It is common for this to appear naturally to some degree in winter, and that with the arrival of the warmer months it disappears without problems. Only when it is a serious lack of this element will it be necessary to intervene.
How to save a lemon tree with yellow leaves
The treatment for the yellow leaves of the lemon tree will depend entirely on which of the causes listed above we are facing. Most of them go through applying the tree a suitable fertilizer that supplies those nutrient needs it has. In addition, the fertilizer does not have to be chemical. There are a large number of ecological fertilizers that you can make yourself, for very little money, and that will supply the nitrogen, manganese, iron or zinc needs of your tree without problems.
The case of lack of iron due to poor drainage is the most complicated when it comes to adult lemon trees, since transplanting a large tree is practically unfeasible or very expensive. Do everything possible to improve soil drainage and avoid waterlogging in the area at all costs, spacing waterings if necessary. If the lemon tree leaves are yellow and fall off even after doing this, you probably have to consider that the cause is something else and not what you thought and consider other methods.
How to prevent yellow lemon leaves
The diseases of the lemon tree are much easier to prevent than to treat, especially in the case of those dependent on the ground. These are some tips to prevent the yellow leaves of the lemon tree and, in general, the diseases of these citrus fruits:
- Make sure to locate your tree in an area with the best possible drainage and that is sunny.
- You can water the area abundantly before planting it and notice where the water puddles or accumulates and where it does not. The point where the stagnant water does not remain will be the best area.
- Regarding nutrients, fertilize your fruit tree regularly and add organic matter to the soil in the warm months in the form of worm castings or compost.

CD Projekt Red has announced that it’s upcoming most anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 night city video game will be Backwards Compatible with both next-gen consoles, including PS5 and Xbox Series. Now, what’s this actually means? this means that you will be able to play your purchased PS4 copy of Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5 at launch.
On the other hand, if you buy a copy of Cyberpunk 2077 on Xbox One then you will also be able to play an optimized version of the game on the Xbox Series X when it launches later this year. This means, that both the PS4 or Xbox One version of the Cyberpunk 2077 will be Backwards Compatible with next-gen consoles without needing you to purchase the game again for the PS5 and Xbox Series X.
Also, note that CD Projekt has confirmed that Backwards Compatibility will be applied to both physical and digital copies of the game. This means that whether you buy a physical version or a digital version of Cyberpunk 2077, you will be able to play both versions on the next-gen consoles.
Also, an update that will be available later for Cyberpunk 2077 taking full advantage of the next-gen hardware, will be available for free on the next-gen consoles.
A later upgrade to Cyberpunk 2077, taking full advantage of the next-gen hardware, will be available for free.
— Cyberpunk 2077 (@CyberpunkGame) June 19, 2020
Notably, in order to play a non Backwards Compatible game that you already own on your PS4 or Xbox One. You will need to purchase that game again in order to play it on PS5 and Xbox Series X.
Cyberpunk 2077 was previously scheduled to launch on August 25, but now, the game has been delayed to November 19, 2020.

HIGHGATE Harriers' Simeon Williamson clocked the second fastest time by a European runner this season when he was third in the 100metres final of the Fanny Blankers-Koen Games in Holland on Monday, writes Simon Jackson.
Williamson clocked 10.09seconds to finish third behind the Antilles Churandy Martina (9.97secs), who was fourth to Usain Bolt in the Beijing Olympics 100m final last summer.
The USA's Monzavous Edwards (10.02secs) was second.
Williamson's dazzling performance capped a remarkable week for the young Harrier.
On Friday, the 23-year-old won the 100m final of the Artur Takac Memorial event in Belgrade, finishing strongly in a time of 10.10secs.
Edwards was second (10.10secs) with Britain's Craig Pickering (10.16secs) third.

VINASSE TREATMENT IN BRAZIL FROM 1970S TO 1990S: A LOCK-IN CASE STUDY INTO THE ETHANOL AGROINDUSTRY
Palavras-chave:Bioethanol. Technological change. Environmental impacts. Environmental regulation. Lock-in.
Adding market value to a former by-product or waste must be an outcome of what is being called an eco-innovation. Vinasse is an important by-product of sugarcane processing in the manufacture of ethanol inBrazil. Until the 1970s, the main destinations of vinasse were surface waters and sacrifice areas. The fabulous augmentation in production of the effluent after the Pro-Alcool and the legal prohibition of vinasse discharges into rivers and other surface waters induced the exploration of new technological possibilities to its destination. During the two subsequent decades, several technological possibilities were under development. In the middle 80s, fertigation was held as the most diffused alternative and the problem was considered solved. This paper exposes the manifold aspects of the problem and the results of an enquiry into the technological trajectory building process that was guided by public and private decision-making focused on the solution of the problem.

“Prosperity Gospel” seems to very popular today. I actually think “Self-Centered Christianity” would be a even better term to describe the more general kind of false gospels, in which the center of worship is “self”.
Self-ceneterd Christianity centers on the self’s narcissistic needs and egoistic fulfillment. It is all about me, me, and me. Self-helping; self-empowering. Self-ceneterd Christianity replaces Christ with things He gives us. Instead of focus on the Lord, it asks you to “count your blessings”. Surely, we ought to thank Him for His providence of all things, yet we need to know that, whether we have these things or not, He always remains as our all in all. Jobs would be a great book to expand on in this matter.
Self-ceneterd Christianity also tempts Christians to “leave the Church”. Technically, one cannot un-join the Church for once they give their lives to Christ, they cannot be separated from Him. However, they may stop meeting with other believers. Some Christians say that they have never been able to find a church that they like; some say they do not enjoy the music (be it too “traditional” or too “contemporary”); some say the people’s doctrines are all off. In the end, it is all about me, me, me. But the Church exists for Christ. The Bride is for Him. The Church is not just a community where you join for comfort. I am not saying the Church should not satisfy us; indeed, it should, at all times, for we are to be satisfied in Christ and in the Church in whatever situations we are in. Nevertheless, many cannot find such satisfactions because their seeking is not grounded in Christ; their seeking is based on their “self-preference”. Thus, they either abandon meeting with one another, or end in slander and jealousy because of their inability to submit to one another.

A highway through a World Heritage Site vs. a southern route bypassing the whole ecosystem? An alternate southern route clearly makes the most sense for Tanzania’s economy.
The Frankfurt Zoological Society has prepared a detailed presentation comparing the geographical, human, economic, educational, agricultural, and political aspects of the northern route through the Serengeti vs. two different southern routes. See the presentation:
For a cost analysis factors in the loss of tourism revenue and employment if the northern route through the Park is built. See the Economic Impact Statement on this site done by Serengeti Watch to see the real cost of the northern route.
On June 13, 2014, the German Embassy in Tanzania announced that it had finally received to go-ahead from the Tanzanian government to conduct a feasibility study for the southern route. It will be completed in 2015.
A southern route is clearly the best way, but it too must be carefully designed to avoid social and environmental impacts. The Hadza people live in this area, and their way of life as indigenous people must be respected. The Tarangire area has its own migration, and this must be respected as well. But all this can be done, while still maximizing economic benefits, with the right planning and support from donors.
What should be the exact route of the southern highway? Both the Frankfurt Zoological Society and the African Wildlife Foundation have made initial proposals.
The FZS highway would connect with existing roads and help link the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, as shown below.
The AWF has proposed two possible southern routes, plus northern routes as well. (We feel that the northern routes will create unacceptable pressure on the northern Serengeti, as it will increase settlement, population, agriculture, and conflicts between humans and wildlife. It would also leave the door wide open for connecting the two road segments through the Park.)

We stepped off of Flight DL1388 to unfamiliar Costa Rican air. The green mountains in the distance were heavenly compared to the polluted San Francisco streets we had just left. As I walked through the terminal, my heart was filled with excitement, but also fear and anxiousness. Would I survive the next 21 days? Are the other kids going to like me?
Questions flooded my mind, but as I exited the doors of the airport, I saw a group of smiling faces holding a GLA sign waiting for me. Despite jet lag and lack of food, these strangers were ecstatic to meet me! I can’t wait to see what the next three weeks will hold. We wandered the streets of San Jose, Costa Rica’s capital, picking up some last minute supplies to bring back to our future home. At lunch we discussed how we felt like a family walking the streets and we’d barely been together for five hours! I then realized that these people were hoping I would let them in with open arms, when the whole time I was worried that they wouldn’t let me in. I think I’m going to have a great time here.
I opened up my tent to the fresh, Costa Rican air and walked through the Home Base, waking up all of the other hardworking volunteers because I was assigned “Leader of the Day.” We devoured some delicious omelets, which were well needed due to the array of activities we had lined up for the day ahead. We headed down to the organic coffee farm and fertilized the trees with our own, homemade, 100% natural fertilizer, made of manure and coffee skins. After four hours of sweating, we took a short hike to the waterfall where we got our well-deserved swim. We soaked up the sun and then ate some lunch, while everyone rushed to finish the homework our Spanish teachers had assigned us in class the day before.
Class went on as planned, and then we had some free time before dinner. Once everyone was stuffed from our amazing meal, our mentors helped us work off dinner by teaching us how to do the native dances of Costa Rica and many other Hispanic countries, such as the merengue and salsa. After a few shorts lessons, we got the hang of it and danced the night away until it was time for bed.
I woke up today refreshed as usual (we sleep great because the beds are so comfortable) and ready for the day. We ate a delicious casado breakfast, which is the traditional rice and beans with plantains. Then we headed to Tamí to build ditches to collect rainwater. I thought this was inspiring because we were working on the Home Base where we live and where volunteers for many years will be staying. Everyday we are leaving our imprint here in Providencia, also literally because we got to put our handprints in the cement ditches and write our initials. I love being here because I feel like I’m reinventing myself. Life at home is so repetitive and here it’s like I’m actually being useful and making a difference.
When I get back to California I want/need to be more productive. There is just so much to be done. We had dinner and then our leader, Jonathan, gave us a lesson on community development. I have learned more here than my entire year of school and this makes me gain more and more respect for my mentors everyday. During class we enjoyed the second most favored drink in Costa Rica called Agua Dulce and watched a video about tourism and its negative affect on the environment. This trip is changing my mind every second of the day.

text: A teen boy got repeated administrations of a vaccine called "Gardasil" that is supposed to be designed to prevent a certain type of STD. Mainly it's being marketed to the parents of girls to help prepare their daughter for when she becomes sexually active in her teens. But Gardasil has been known or suspected to cause some extreme immune system reactions in rare cases that can lead to permanent life-long effects. Here is the boy, before and after: Lawsuit Filed Against Pharmaceutical Giant Merck on Behalf of Young Man Allegedly Injured by Gardasil The law firm of Baum Hedlund Aristei & Goldman filed a lawsuit Wednesday against pharmaceutical giant Merck on behalf of a young man, Zachariah Otto, who was allegedly injured by Gardasil, Merck’s HPV vaccine. The complaint seeks damages, including punitive damages, for negligence; strict liability (failure to warn); strict liability (manufacturing defect); breach of warranty; common law fraud; and violation of California’s unfair competition law. Zachariah claims multiple Gardasil injections, which he first received at the age of 16, caused him to develop life-altering injuries, including dysautonomia, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), Orthostatic Intolerance, small fiber neuropathy, chronic fatigue syndrome, mast cell activation syndrome, autoimmune disease and fibromyalgia, as well as a constellation of other serious health issues. POTS is an autoimmune condition that impacts the autonomic nervous system (which automatically regulates critical bodily functions) and the sympathetic nervous system (which is involved in the "fight or flight" response). POTS symptoms include fainting, migraine headaches and anxiety among many other serious conditions. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/...f-of-young-man-allegedly-injured-by-gardasil/ Here's another story: Petition · Stop the HPV VACCINE. It killed my son! · Change.org Christopher Bunch, age 14, received the first dose of the HPV vaccine on June 29, 2018. Only 46 days later, he died on August 14, 2018. He was taken to the Emergency Room on the night of August 8th. On the doctor's advice her was moved to Children's Hospital in Iowa City, where the doctors discovered he had encephalitis. A Neurologist then diagnosed him with acute demyelinating encephalomyelitis (ADEM), a rare autoimmune disease marked by a sudden, widespread attack of inflammation in the brain and spinal cord. Christopher went downhill fast, going into respiratory failure, paralysis to the left side of his body, and then started having seizures. He was treated with extremely high doses of steroids to combat the swelling in his brain. His case was so severe at this point that they had no other choice but to perform a craniotomy on the right side of his skull to help with brain swelling. His brain continued to swell and he ended up having a brain herniation. Elijah Bunch wrote this about his son: "My son was only 14 years old, bright, smart, handsome, an awesome baseball player. He was on the honor roll and just 2 days from starting high school. He died as a direct result of the HPV VACCINE. My son should have never been given this medicine as he has NO CERVIX!" a picture of Christopher who died: 'Robbed of their Womanhood' - Teens After Merck's Gardasil Shot Olivia and Madelyne Meylor are in their early 20s. They still want the world to know what happened to them as teens after they received three Gardasil shots – an HPV vaccine marketed as a way to prevent cervical cancer. Diagnoses of Premature or Primary Ovarian Failure (POF) followed leaving only 5 percent chance one of them could ever get pregnant. In this story about a pending federal court case they were involved in last year, they reported that not only did their ovaries stop producing eggs, but they also have insomnia, night sweats and headaches. They say they can not get pregnant, but might be able to carry a baby. As teenagers, it would appear that they both entered into full-blown menopause. Coincidence? Genetic predisposition tests ruled out genetics for the disorder which is rare in teenagers. Their mother says all roads lead back to the fateful shots in 2007. You can see from the local news report that Merck denies any correlation to the vaccine, upholds the results in its clinical trials, and claims that similar adverse were found in placebo studies. Yet, this study in 2013 shows that POF does indeed follow Gardasil shots, and stems from adjuvants in the vaccine causing the body to attack the reproductive system, as well as cause cognitive and psychiatric disturbances. Imagine if a toy or candy created tens of thousands of adverse health reports and over a hundred deaths? Would there not be some kind of outcry or intervention? It’s interesting that legal scrutiny is aimed at energy drink manufacturers, but not for injections given out by doctors. blog by WKCHILD, posted November 23, 2014 original source: Activist Post, by Heather Callaghan archived copy of blog: “Robbed of Their Womanhood’ – Teens After Merck’s Gardasil Shot | wchildblog (archive.org) One has to question whether these vaccines should be routinely administered to young teens.

Former policeman Lenny Nero has moved into a more lucrative trade: the illegal sale of virtual reality-like recordings that allow users to experience the emotions and past experiences of others. While they typically contain tawdry incidents, Nero is shocked when he receives one showing a murder.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Bombastic assault on the senses disguised as a "brainy" sci-fi action film. Set in 1999, the film follows former cop turned fast-talking street hustler Ralph Fiennes, who specializes in selling disks containing the memories and emotions of people, which is apparently the drug du jour. When he stumbles on a disk containing the murder of a prostitute, he becomes embroiled in a police conspiracy, rape, murder and assorted sordid elements in order to rescue former girlfriend Juliette Lewis from peril.The premise for the film sounds a lot better than the execution and there is enough promise implicit in the material to give one the idea of what may have been if it had a director who could fashion a coherent narrative and sympathetic characters. As it stands, it is impossible to tell which element of the film eviscerates it first, or whether it is a cooperative effort. The film employs an ear-shattering soundtrack, chronic noise and flashing lights, and assorted irritating visual flourishes apparently believing that everyone in the audience suffers from ADHD.The storyline is convoluted to say the least and director Kathryn Bigelow seems to be on only a nodding acquaintance with it. Bigelow, whose entire directorial output could conceivably have been directed by a testicle in the throes of puberty, simply does not exist in the same zip code as logic or common sense, and often sacrifices it for the next big bang, which is never as exciting as she apparently believes it to be. She seems uncomfortable directing women and thus the misogyny is laid on with a trowel. The female characters in the film are on hand only to strip, be raped, be beaten or murdered. Even Angela Bassett's tough chauffeur/bodyguard is subjected to a graphic beating, which tastelessly draws parallels to the Rodney King beating of the era.The acting is a real mixed bag. Tom Sizemore and Vincent D'Onofrio trot out their stale sleazeball routines for another go-round. Fiennes, who seems to be jacked up on too much caffeine, has rarely been this aggravating on screen. Bassett fares best despite being badly directed, but still cannot make the last act attraction between her and Fiennes even remotely plausible. And just when you think things cannot get worse, Lewis comes on screen with a teeth-grindingly wretched performance that could single-handedly derail far better films.Bigelow and company try to tie up the film's voluminous loose ends in an unsuccessful final orgy of violence and exposition, but your patience will have long vanished before then. Despite attempts by Bigelow groupies to rehabilitate the film's image (it was both a critical and box office bust at the time), it still remains a shallow, unwatchable mess with entire passages so unappealing that your first instinct is to take a very hot shower and scrub away anything that might linger from having experienced it.

Have you ever wanted to experience life in someone else's shoes? Wanted to feel what they felt? See exactly what they say? See what another sees through his/her mind? Strange Days takes you closer to this than ever before, turning adrenaline junkies into full-fledged addicts. Brand new at the literal turn of the century this highly addictive and as of yet unattainable type of Virtual Reality takes over the city. One in which Adrenaline junkies get addicted to the high of living vicariously through the memories of other people. Dealers deal "hardware" and "clips". The story follows Nero, one such dealer. While there are difficulties with the plot this film forces us to live the reality of that which entertains us. Rather than inundating the audience with random acts of violence as simple entertainment, we are forced to recognize individual acts of violence as memories in people's real lives. We are able to see our own death through the eyes of our killer. This Virtual Reality experience highlights the sordid reality of what entertains us as people.

"Oh Boy was it strange. It took a while to get into and even then I wasn't completely sold. The actors and characters were the only thing that really held this film together. The entire story seemed like a giant 90's cliché with a very jumpy plot. Those who aren't into science fiction might have a hard time keeping up and getting hooked.The story follows Lenny Nero, a former cop who now deals with dealing data disks that contain stored memories and emotions. Several days before the new millennium everyone is paranoid and acting rampant anticipating the world will end. Everyone is toting guns, swapping girls, acting on edge. Lenny gets a package with stored data and memories of a prostitute who is raped and murdered. This begins a spiral of events that open his eyes to relative murders like that of a rapper in the community and how each individual is involved. The scenes are suspenseful and show pure chaos in the streets including brutality and fires. Two dirty cops chase him in search of a disk that contains sensitive information. Meanwhile, Lenny's ex girlfriend Faith is now involved in a bad group and a new boyfriend name Philo. Lenny knows she's in danger but isn't sure how and gives her a way out, but she refuses.I really enjoyed the strong female role of Mace as she put Lenny in his place and reamed him out for not being a true friend and just using her for when it was convenient to him. She also explains that his life is just a series of scams and crooked jobs, essentially calling him out. There were a lot of terms that were confusing and difficult to understand without further analysis. A Squid is the device placed upon the cranium that helps playback the memories. I liked the slow reveal of pieces of information that help piece together previous information. When Mace watches the tape we learn how Jerrico was murdered and why Iris was on the run. However the movie was long winded and seemed to drag at parts. It's a different and unique film that covers content relevant to us now and could be relevant in the future as technology advances. Our culture has also placed heavy value on law enforcement and their duty to be inherently good. Not my favorite film and may not directly recommend it to any of my friends, but something to watch if you like a little gore, action, mild romance and science fiction."

Before going into this review, I was under the impression that this film was going to be an action-packed, futuristic, sci-fi experience when in reality it more closely resembled a "what if scenario" of the world (or apparently just LA) going down the drain. It plays on a lot of people's fears about the end of the world and conspiracy theories, especially back then with the uncertainty of ringing in the new millennium. With that out of the way, I found the concept of being able to record memories and loading them onto disks to be shared to be very intriguing because of the possibilities for asynchronous communication. While not being able to communicate instantaneously, it should be noted that the sharing of memories and even physical sensations gave users the sense of looking through another person's eyes (or living in another man's shoes). The film's take on virtual reality was something I'd never seen before played out. As seen in the film, this can and was easily abused, being illegally marketed in the form of a digital drug and using them as surveillance to spy on people.

Il Duca: Smooth Tomato with Silver (C) Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 002-427-0580
Max Rimensi, the artisan carver behind Il Duca pipes, carves a broad range of Tomato designs, often with bulbous profiles, but does occasionally produce more conservative versions. This trim iteration makes me think of an Acorn, with a slightly lifted heel, but a chop-top Acorn, with the rim slung extra low, and also of an Apple, given the consistent plumpness of the bowl, but does have an established place in the Italian craftsman's Tomato portfolio.
The shank is long in comparison to the bowl's height and flares to a handsome fitment of silver, the brightwork creating an elegant visual break before the smoothly tapered vulcanite stem. The slight S-curve in profile is commended by one of Rimensi's brilliant contrast stains and a smooth finish, showing off a wealth of handsome flame grain all around the bowl and up the flanks of the shank, as well as flecks of birdseye bedecking the flat rim. A commanding piece well over six inches in length, its use of trim dimensions manages to keep the weight comparatively light, making for a delightful feel in hand and promising a comfortable perch when clenched.- Joel Balyeat

Los Angeles ambulance crew members have been instructed not to transport patients with “little chance of survival” to local hospitals as ICUs near capacity across the county.
If patients show no signs of breathing or a pulse, ambulance crew members will perform resuscitation for at least 20 minutes. The patient may be transported to a county hospital if he or she stabilizes after the efforts of resuscitation. Patients declared dead at the scene will not be transported to hospital by paramedics.
Due to oxygen shortages in Los Angeles, effective Monday EMS has been instructed to only administer supplemental oxygen to patients with oxygen saturation below 90 percent. The memo states that a level of 90 percent is sufficient for the majority of patients to maintain normal bodily functions.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom meanwhile announced Friday that the state would collaborate with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to evaluate and upgrade outdated oxygen delivery systems at six hospitals in Los Angeles.
“We’re likely to experience the worst conditions in January that we’ve faced the entire pandemic, and that’s hard to imagine,” she said.
“This is likely to be the worst month of the pandemic,” the county added in a statement. “The surge from the holiday gatherings is here and cases will increase due to parties and travelers returning to LA County.”
Newsom said that California is working on providing support for home oxygen usage in a bid to ease pressure on local hospitals, allowing for “more availability and more capacity within our existing facilities.”
“We’re just looking at the panoply of oxygen support … across the spectrum and looking how we can utilize more flexibility and broader distribution of these oxygen units all up and down the state, but particularly in these areas—San Joaquin Valley and Los Angeles, the larger Southern California region—that are in particular need and are under particular stress,” Newsom said.

In the face of national outrage, Carleton University Students’ Association says it will reverse its decision to cancel Shinerama, the school’s popular fundraiser for cystic fibrosis after it passed a motion saying the fatal disease is not “inclusive” enough.
The original motion, which passed 17 to 2 at the association’s Nov. 24 meeting, read: “Whereas Cystic fibrosis has been recently revealed to only affect white people, and primarily men…Be it resolved that: CUSA discontinue its support of this campaign.”
Jeff Rybak on Why Dumb Things Happen Around Smart Students
In an interview with Maclean’s OnCampus, Smyth distanced the council from the controversial sentence on race and gender. Because it was a “Whereas” clause, she says they had no power to modify the sentence.
“It’s how our council has always operated. Even if we had wanted to change it we couldn’t have,” she says.
After the lightning-fast mobilization of Carleton’s student population, Smyth says the council will be holding an emergency council meeting to reverse their decision Dec. 1 at 6:30 p.m. at the school’s Porter Hall.
Immediately after the disputed vote, thousands of Carleton students flocked online in an effort to both organize and support grassroots rallies and fundraisers in support of the popular event.
“There will definitely be some resignations over this,” says graduate student Ashley Darch, who went to the school as an undergrad and is following, and participating in, the online controversy.
“Some people are saying we need a rally, some are saying that we need to make a very bold statement, and there is even an element that wants to impeach the CUSA executive.”
Darch says students are dismayed at how the media firestorm surrounding the issue has hurt the reputation of the university. A fundraising pub night is being held in Ottawa for tonight, and a “mini-Shinerama” rally is set to be held at the university tomorrow.
There have also been specific calls to impeach Donnie Northrup, the councilor who brought forward the motion in the first place. In an online statement, he says he still stands by the motion and CUSA’s decision to pass it.
“I genuinely believe the best way to do this is to rotate through charities,” he writes. “This is a chance to do something new and exciting; I don’t get the hype.”
Shinerama fundraising takes place during orientation week and has been happening at Carleton University for nearly 25 years. As a result, the school has raised almost $1 million for the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
The website of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation says the disease is most common in Caucasians but can affect all races. According to Wikipedia, “approximately 1 in 25 people of European descent and 1 in 22 people of Ashkenazi Jewish descent is a carrier of a cystic fibrosis mutation. Although CF is less common in these groups, approximately 1 in 46 Hispanics, 1 in 65 Africans and 1 in 90 Asians carry at least one abnormal CFTR gene.”
Wikipedia also notes that, “cystic fibrosis is diagnosed in males and females equally. For unclear reasons, males tend to have a longer life expectancy than females.” It is currently the most common fatal genetic disease affecting young Canadians, with an estimated 3,500 people living with the condition.
Lauren Guitar, a lead organizer of tomorrow’s rally in support of Shinerama, says she has someone in her life who has cystic fibrosis and planned to hold tomorrow’s rally regardless of how many people showed up.
“But when I woke up this morning, I had a dozen messages on my phone and multiple offers from people in the community who wanted to donate,” she says.
“I am a little angry with CUSA for how they worded their decision, but in a few hours we’ve managed to ignite the whole campus in support of this cause.”
Shinerama began in 1964 as a shoe-shining campaign and is now Canada’s largest post-secondary fundraiser. High-energy events are held at nearly 60 university and college campuses, where more than 35,000 student volunteers shine shoes, wash cars, run raffles and barbeques, and sing songs on street corners.

I cut holes in my door panels and installed the door speakers too but I haven't found a way to get those hooked up yet because I haven't found the amps for them. I'm probably gonna hook them up with a single aftermarket amp. I don't listen to CDs so the headunit change was trivial to me. The shaker 1000 headunit makes my factory speakers quieter anyways cuz it was meant for the whole lot of the speakers.
my head unit rocks out great
i like the features it has too. hey tell what you did with your doors, what you used and maybe post some pics. maybe i`ll cut some into my panels. i would think the shaker 500 amps would work( or maybe they are the same ones anyway) sometimes i see them on ebay, and i dont really want or need the bass cab in the trunk.

XM SATELLITE RADIO VICI RACING ON TRACK TODAY AT DAYTONA
Daytona, Fla., - It was a very busy day for the XM Satellite Radio VICI Racing team at the Daytona International Speedway today, as the #18 Porsche- Fabcar hit the track for the first time, taking part in free practice, the first qualifying session, and finally the night time acclimatisation session.
The big news of the morning was the rain, and due to the inclement conditions the team decided to sit out the first practice session, electing instead to work on set ups. "We're working on adjusting the hydraulic balance and a number of detail geometry changes," commented Technical Director & Chief Engineer Roland Wall, an engineer with vast racing experience. Meanwhile, the bulk of the VICI Racing staff, who had travelled up from the team's US base in Miami base, were all mumbling about the unexpectedly cold weather.
Around lunchtime though the weather cleared, and the track started to dry out. The second practice session saw the #18 XM Satellite Radio VICI Racing Porsche-Fabcar taking to the 3.56-mile road course for the first time. Terry Borcheller, one of five drivers being employed by XM Satellite Radio VICI Racing this weekend, is in the drivers' seat. As the most experienced driver on the team, and with unrivalled Dayton experience, he is entrusted with getting the car set-up this afternoon. The one hour session (1:30 to 2:30 PM) is cut short by 23 minutes when a car goes off into the tyre barriers at 1:55 PM. Terry turns in a consistent pace and sets a best lap of 1:48.810 during the ten laps he runs. "It was unfortunate that the session turned out the way it did with so many yellow and black flags as we were trying to get our drivers out on track; mechanically the car ran very well, no issues to report, the power seems strong, we will have to see how it goes during qualifying. The track was mostly dry, but still wet in a few places, and one of the problems was that every time we were getting tyre temperatures up, we hit the flag periods."
Gaston Mazzacane, a former F1 driver, is one of the five drivers in the #18 car this week. "This will be my first 24 hour race," says the Argentinean, "I'm looking forward to a strong race. The team will come up with a good, consistent strategy; we drivers need to be good mentally, no mistakes - a lot of concentration for 24 hours. The team is working very hard, so our race prospects look pretty exciting. This race is very popular in Argentina, fans always follow Daytona, and as I'm the only Argentinean driver here I will be able to count on a lot of support back home."
Night practice gets underway at 6:30 PM. This one-and-a-half hour session allows each driver to experience the demanding Daytona International Speedway in the dark and is mandatory. All five XM Satellite Radio VICI Racing drivers', Terry Borcheller, Uwe Alzen, Gaston Mazzacane, Nicky Pastorelli and Robert Renauer, get valuable track time; for several of them this is a new experience. Each driver gets six laps behind the wheel of the #18 Fabcar-Porsche, with Terry, the most experienced of the quintet getting the action underway.
For 21-year Robert Renauer the Rolex 24 will be his first time racing in the dark, and it will in fact be his first 24-hour race. It is a steep learning curve for the youngster, but one he is looking forward to. He completes is six laps this evening very smoothly; it is also his first time in the car this week. "The car is much better than it was at the official Daytona tests at the beginning of this month," he says after his stint, "we're going in the right direction for sure, and I'm really looking forward to the race, it will be a whole new experience for me" he says.
The session concludes and the team swing into action with a routine engine change: removing the unit that has seen them through the practice sessions today, changing it for a new unit that will take them into the race on Saturday. With Grand-Am rules allowing the teams up until 9:30 PM this evening before the paddock is closed for the night, the mechanics instantly swing into action to start removing the engine. The job will be completed first thing tomorrow morning. "The crew are doing a great job, everyone is working very hard; we're nicely heading in the right direction," says Roland.

At the 17th Conference of the Parties (COP17) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change meeting in South Africa the “Durban platform for enhanced action” was announced. A roadmap towards a legal framework for a successor of the Kyoto Protocol is to be developed by 2015. As CO2 reduction is of major global concern it is not surprising that we are often asked what our own industry’s intentions for a low carbon future are.
The corrugated industry has been a pioneer in the LCA (Life Cycle Analysis) landscape and for many years it has been accumulating data.Thanks to continuous improvements in transport, energy use, production fuels, raw material production and direct emissions we were able to report last year that our total CO2 emissions between the years 2006 and 2009 had declined by 11.7 %.
Moreover at the CEPI Annual Meeting held during European Paper Week in November The forest fibre industry announced a target for a carbon dioxide emission reduction of 80% by the year 2050.
2050 may seem a long way off but it is in fact just two investment cycles away – the lives of two paper machines.


French police have detained the suspected shooter who injured an Orthodox priest in Lyon earlier today, local media reported. French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin has urged residents of Lyon to avoid the area around Jean-Macé sector, where the shooting occurred. The mayor of Lyon has said there is no information about the motive of the shooter.
Later, the prosecutor confirmed that an arrest had been made over the shooting.
Local media says the attack occurred when the priest, a Greek citizen, was closing the church. According to LyonMag, the perpetrator was armed with a sawed-off shotgun, fired his weapon twice, and fled the scene. The priest is reportedly in a serious condition.

New Wave of Terrorist Attacks and Calls For Boycott
France has been hit by a wave of terrorist attacks since 16 October, when an 18-year-old man beheaded 47-year-old schoolteacher Samuel Paty for displaying caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad during a class on freedom of speech, where he also discussed the Charlie Hebdo case. The killing caused anger and indignation in France, with President Macron calling Islam a religion "in crisis" and defending Paty’s decision to teach his students about freedom of speech and to show the controversial caricatures.
Macron’s comments caused outrage in the Muslim world, where depictions of the Prophet Muhammad are regarded as a taboo, while satire about Islam or of its religious representatives is considered blasphemous and is in some countries is punishable by death.
Large-scale protests were held over the past weeks in Bangladesh, Lebanon, Pakistan, and other Muslim-majority countries. Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan condemned Macron’s statement on Islam and said the French leader needed "mental checks". Erdogan also called for a boycott of French products.
Several attacks have occurred since tensions rose between France and the Muslim world. Two days ago, a young Tunisian man, who arrived in France in September, stabbed three people to death in the Notre-Dame Basilica in the city of Nice. Another man armed with a sharp tool injured a guard near the French Consulate in Saudi Arabia on the same day. The perpetrator was arrested. Also on Thursday, French police shot dead a man in Avignon prefecture after he threatened people with a knife.

|Health benefits of liquid chlorophyll|
As we know that the Green Leaf Chlorophyll is the substance that was instrumental in the "photosynthesis" in plants. LARGEST ENERGY SOURCE sun as in our Solar System this can not simply be absorbed by the human body. It takes the role of plants to convert solar energy is first before utilized by the human body. From its function as a catalyst in this process of photosynthesis, Chlorophyll is useful saving benefits to the human body.
Chlorophyll is rich in magnesium, copper, iron, protein, vitamin A, potassium, sodium, calcium, vitamin E, lithium, phosphorus, zinc and a number of other essential nutrients. It is often said that chlorophyll in plants works like blood does in the human body. They may be similar in composition as well, except for the difference in the core nutrient – magnesium in chlorophyll, and iron in human blood. The findings of such similarities in chemical composition have confirmed that chlorophyll can have benefits in the human body.
The primary source of dietary chlorophyll is green leafy vegetables. However, most of the chlorophyll in plants is lost during the cooking process, ultimately leaving a very little amount that is not enough to provide any significant health benefits. Therefore it is better to obtain chlorophyll from dietary supplements. These dietary supplements can be found either in the form of tablets or in the form of liquid.
Liquid chlorophyll is known to have a number of benefits for the human body. Liquid chlorophyll is easier to absorb in the blood stream than is liquid chlorophyll. It works as a tonic, and neutralizes toxins in the blood, thus purifying it. One of the most significant benefits of all is its role in the growth of red blood cells. It enhances the work of hemoglobin in our blood and helps to replenish the amount of red blood cells in our body. By doing so, it aids in the growth and maintenance of tissues, and helps to heal wounds more effectively. It is an antiseptic, and inhibits the growth of bacteria in the body.
Chlorophyll helps to stimulate the red blood cells, and improves oxygen circulation in the blood and around the body. It aids in the rapid delivery of magnesium, a highly alkalizing effect that helps the blood to transport oxygen to the cells and tissues of the body. Liquid chlorophyll also possesses anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties – it contains Vitamins A, C and E that are helpful in reducing inflammation. It destroys the free radicals that can harm the body’s immune system. Liquid chlorophyll protects and stimulates the body’s immune system, thus improving the body’s natural healing process.
Chlorophyll is known to neutralize the polluted air that is breathed in the body every day, thus making it a good supplement for smokers. Liquid chlorophyll contains anti-carcinogenic characteristics as well. It is known to inhibit the metabolism of procarcinogens in the body and decrease the carcinogen’s ability to bind and damage DNA found in major organs of the body. Liquid chlorophyll is also an effective deodorizer against bad breath, urine, fecal waste, and body odor. Because chlorophyll detoxifies the body, it eliminates substances that cause unpleasant smells in body wastes.
Another benefit of chlorophyll is in chelating toxic metals and heavy minerals in the body, such as mercury and calcium. It may also be helpful in treating calcium oxalate stone disease, as it can break down calcium stones. Liquid chlorophyll energizes the body. It gets rid of harmful chemicals, and provides numerous health benefits. It is safe to administer, and is non-toxic and soothing for the body. The liquid dietary supplement is widely available in many drugstores, and at affordable prices. One of such supplements is Dr. Young’s ChloropHeal, a dense and tasteless source of liquid chlorophyll, which can be taken with any drinks to give the body its much needed supply of chlorophyll.
There have been no reported side-effects of liquid chlorophyll as yet. However, when buying supplements as such, it is important to look for natural chlorophyll extract that is free from artificial coloring and flavorings. Natural chlorophyll extract in liquid form is easily absorbed, heals the body naturally, and helps to build a stronger immune system

You must have heard of omega-3 fatty acids and how much these benefit the body. There are many who probably haven't heard of omega-3 fatty acids and their health-benefiting properties. Omega-3 fatty acids are healthy fats required by the body to carry out various vital functions. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids that fall under the category of polyunsaturated fatty acids and are of the three main types which include ALA, EPA and DHA.
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is obtained from breast milk or fish oil. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is obtained from oily fish or fish oil like that obtained from salmon, mackerel, etc. Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is found in seeds like flax seeds, chia seeds and nuts. Omega-3 fatty acids also play a major role in the growth and proper functioning of the human body. Let's have a look at the foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
1. Flax Seeds
Flax seeds are a powerhouse of nutrients and they are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. The greatest advantage of flax seed is, it can be easily added to an oatmeal or a smoothie. Have a tablespoon of flax seeds daily to increase the intake of omega-3 fats.
Sardines are oily fish that are high in omega-3 fatty acids. They also contain a high amount of sodium. Sardines are usually eaten as a snack, which are added to sandwiches, salads or pizza. You can also cook them in whichever way you want.
Eggs are known for their protein content, but they also contain high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. Eggs also contain other vitamins and minerals. To increase the intake of omega-3 fatty acids, you can have boiled eggs instead of having them in the form of an omelette or poached.
4. Chia Seeds
Chia seeds are not only rich in omega-3 fatty acids but also are high in other vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre too. They are loaded with magnesium, protein, and calcium that help to prevent diabetes, improve exercise performance and also enhance brain health.
Cauliflower is also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. This vegetable is good for maintaining a healthy condition of the heart and it is rich in nutrients like niacin, magnesium and potassium. Steam the cauliflower before consuming it to kill the germs.
Salmon is not only rich in vitamin D but is also a great source of omega-3 fatty acids. It is high in protein and phosphorous. The healthy fats present in salmon prevent the risk of cardiovascular diseases and can lower heart attack and high blood pressure.
7. Brussel Sprouts
Brussel sprouts are small green vegetables with high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids and are considered to be the perfect food for the skin. Each serving of brussel sprouts contains 430 milligrams of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). But, steam the brussel sprouts before consuming it.
8. Hemp Seeds
Hemp seeds are full of essential omega-3 fatty acids. The seeds are also high in proteins and polyunsaturated fatty acids such as stearidonic acid (SDA) and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). You can sprinkle hemp seeds on foods like salads or sandwiches.
9. Roasted Soybeans
Not many people are aware of this plant-based protein which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Soybeans have alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which promotes a good heart health. You can have a bowl of lightly cooked soybeans to increase your intake of the omega-3 fatty acids.
10. Fish Oil
Fish oil is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. Fish oil supplements are prescribed for many patients, as it prevents and manages heart disease. The omega-3 fats also help to lower blood pressure too.
