Did you know?
Four out of five Australians are not getting enough fruits and vegetables in their diet, with men faring worse than women, according to the largest survey of its kind done in the Australia conducted by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation in 2015/2016.
The CSIRO surveyed over 145,000 adults and found only 24 per cent of women and 15 per cent of men were eating the recommended two fruits and five vegetables a day.
What was interesting was Aussies actually thought they were healthier then they were. While this is interesting, it's not surprising given we also think we eat less then we do!
To find out what your recommended veggie serves are and see where you stand against the Australian Dietary Guidelines Recommendations (ADG), see this link; https://www.eatforhealth.gov.au/food-essentials/how-much-do-we-need-each-day/recommended-number-serves-adults
According to Healthy Kids NSW, our kids aren't getting enough either with 56% of primary and 80% of secondary school students not eating their recommended daily amount of vegetables.
According to the ADG recommendations for kids are as follows:
Children aged 1-2yrs need 2-3 serves of veggies each day.
Boys aged: 2-3yrs = 2 ½ serves 4-8yrs = 4 ½ serves 9-11yrs = 5 serves 12-13 = 5 ½ serves
14-18 = 5 ½ serves
Girls Aged: 2-3yrs = 2 ½ serves 4-8yrs = 4 ½ serves 9-11yrs = 5 serves 12-13yrs = 5 serves 14-18yrs = 5 serves
There are plenty of ways to increase yours and your families veggie intake. I like to follow my very own 3C's. That is to be;
Creative - think of different ways to include veggies in your cooking. I love to sneak veggies into breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Spreading them out throughout the day also helps to reduce the pressure we can feel as parents for our kids to eat all their veggies at night
Calm - I don't know about you but when I ma being pressured into doing something it doesn't feel nice and it doesn't make me want to do it either! As much as the urge might be strong, take the pressure off both you and your kids- make meal times relaxing, enjoyable and experimental. Take notice of what works for your family and what doesn't. What are the fave veggies and the ones they don't like and see how your meal times evolve!
Consistent - consistency is really important- don't lose hope, just keep offering! Keep making those veggies and one day when things are calm and dinner time feels good, you never know they might reach out and eat that veggie!
I often find one way to boost my kids intake (and mine for that matter) is to cook more veggie stews and soups. The kids love them and they are really easy to make, thanks to the amazing slow cooker.
Below is a popular stew in my house. My boys (aged 2 & 4) BOTH came back for seconds! #kidsdontlie Right?
It is an easy-peasy throw it all in together stew, that tastes delicious. It is adaptable, flexible and balanced. So change it up to suit your tastes and preferences. This is one meal I can be sure will pump up their veggie intake for the day. This stew is a:
Good source of iron
High in vitamins and minerals
High in protein
High in fibre
4 cups Pumpkin / squash (chopped, translates to 1 small pumpkin)
300 grams Chicken Breast (chopped large pieces)
1 can of chickpeas (cooked, drained and rinsed) 1/2 cup Frozen Corn 1 cup Frozen Peas 1 tsp Cumin (ground) 2 Garlic cloves (or 2 tablespoons of fresh minced garlic from a jar) 4 cups Organic Chicken Broth (or any type of chicken broth) 1 Carrot (chopped) 1 Onion (diced)
1 cup Quinoa 1 tsp Sea Salt & Black Pepper
1. Add all ingredients except except quinoa & chicken breasts to the slow cooker and stir well to mix. Then lay diced chicken on top and season them generously with sea salt and pepper, cover with liquid. Cover with lid and cook on low setting for 6 hours. (Don't add quinoa, yet)
2. After 3 to 4 hours, remove the lid and add in 1 cup of quinoa. Stir well to mix and let cook on low for another 2 hours, or until quinoa absorbs excess liquid and is light and fluffy.
3. Remove lid, and shred chicken with a fork gently. Place lid back on and let sit for approx 15mins.
4. Serve & Enjoy!
And remember to have fun with the 3 C's!

White House hails signs of progress on immigration
Question of the Day
The White House on Monday hailed signs of progress from the so-called Gang of Eight senators working on the bipartisan immigration reform bill, but declined to weigh in on any specifics of the deal until it’s officially announced.
“I would say broadly that we are encouraged by the continuing signs of progress that we are seeing in the Senate as the Group of Eight … more broadly works on comprehensive immigration reform,” Mr. Carney said, though he said the negotiators are “not there yet.”
“We will evaluate the specific aspects of that legislation when it is produced,” the spokesman said.
The eight senators — four Republicans and four Democrats — have been negotiating since the start of this year on what would be the first major immigration overhaul in nearly three decades.
They want to beef up border security and interior enforcement, while also granting a pathway to citizenship to the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants now in the U.S. — though they said that process could take more than a decade.
Mr. Carney wouldn’t say whether Mr. Obama would accept that time frame, which many immigrant-rights advocates argue is too long and uncertain. Instead, he reiterated Mr. Obama’s key principles for immigration reforms and said he believes the progress being made in the Senate reflects those principles.
Over the weekend, two of the negotiators said a final deal is imminent.
Sen. Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, told NBC’s “Meet the Press” he is “very, very optimistic” that they will finalize a bill in about a week, and Sen. Lindsey Graham said, “I think we’ve got a deal.”
“We’ve got to write the legislation, but 2013, I hope, will be the year that we pass bipartisan immigration reform,” the South Carolina Republican said.
Democrats are hoping to push the bill through the Judiciary Committee this month and have it on the Senate floor next month.
But Sen. Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican who is one of the eight senators working on the agreement, said such plans are premature. He said even when they do reach a deal, it will require more hearings in the Senate, and will demand a long and open amendment process.
“We will need a healthy public debate that includes committee hearings and the opportunity for other senators to improve our legislation with their own amendments,” the Florida Republican said.
The negotiations got a boost over the weekend when two of the county’s most influential business and labor groups struck an agreement on guest-worker rules, overcoming one of the biggest hurdles that had sunk previous efforts to overhaul the nation’s immigration laws.
The AFL-CIO and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce over the weekend announced they had reached a deal on how to allow nonseasonal low-skilled migrant workers into the country. The chamber satisfied labor’s main concern by ensuring that businesses couldn’t offer lower wages to the workers than prevailing American wage levels.
Starting April 1, 2015, a new “W” visa program would allow 20,000 workers into the country in the first year with that number increasing gradually and ultimately being capped at 200,000 a year.

Review: Like Crazy (2011)
I've been meaning to watch this film for a while, as I'm a big fan of Felicity Jones. She's a seriously underrated actress and is always effortlessly stunning and adorable in everything she's in. I loved her Catherine Morland in ITV's adaptation of Northanger Abbey and of course Chalet Girl (but the fact that Ed Westwick is in that film probably had something to do with it as well).
Like Crazy is about a couple who met in college in L.A. but are torn apart because the female lead (Anna) is British and is banned from entering the U.S. after overstaying her visa. The male lead (Jacob) does his best to try to make things work but is tied down by his furniture design company. Basically, the two go back and forth throughout the film trying to decide whether or not they should be together amidst the distance. What's really interesting about the film is that there was no real script; the director Drake Doremus had a basic idea about the plot and the actors improvised almost all of their lines.
Thus, the raw emotions that are dealt with in the film have a feeling of authenticity to them. Since the lines are improvised, the film can feel a bit slow at times, as conversations seem to drag. But it's quite effective in portraying the monotonous side of relationships and the little things that can create tension between two people. At the same time, feelings of love also seem more genuine and the scenes where the actors say nothing seems to reveal the most about their love for each other.
The filming style also contributes to a sense of intimacy, as it was shot with a DSLR camera. Some viewers may not like the unsteady filming technique but I guess this downside is true for many indie-style films. And also like many indie films, the soundtrack is amazing and definitely becomes part of the story.
It's very similar to the style of To The Wonder (2012), which I think is one of the best soundtracks of all time. "The Awakening" (song from the trailer) is so beautiful I want to cry whenever I listen to it. Although trying to get through that film feels like trying to read a 300 page instruction manual on how to properly assemble and clean a porter potty.
Anyway...I think Like Crazy will speak to most people because it's essentially a peek into everyone's relationship - a side that outsiders don't see. It's the petty fights or vulnerability that exists in any relationship. It balances the euphoria of being in love with the harsh realities that life sometimes poses, challenging the audience to decide whether or not Anna and Jacob should be together.
Personally, I really enjoyed the film and thought that it was the perfect film to watch alone in bed after a long day. Hope you guys have a change to see it!

Jasper Johns: A Retrospective
Kirk Varnedoe, Roberta BernsteinISBN: 0870703927; 9780870703928;
Jasper JohnsAs art unites mastery, mystery, simplicity, and contradiction. His methodical working process combines intense deliberation and experimentation, obsessive craft, cycles of revision and repetition, and decisive shifts of direction. Johns also frequently borrows images from other artists, which, ironically, only underscores the originality of his own vision. His work occupies a key position in the art of the second half of the twentieth century. Jasper Johns: A Retrospective is the most complete and authoritative resource on it available, containing 264 color plates illustrating his paintings, drawings, sculptures, and prints. Accompanying essays review his essential themes, analyze his references to other artists, and explore how his contemporaries have, in turn, seen and absorbed his own work. The plates are arranged to follow the stages of his career, allowing comparison of paintings, drawings, sculptures, and prints from each period, as his style developed and changed....

Danielle Lloyd has revealed she underwent an operation to determine the cause of her tragic miscarriage last year - with doctors unable to find a reason for her loss.
The former Big Brother star, 36, who was around eight weeks pregnant when she miscarried last year, had a laparoscopy in October on doctors' advice if she wanted to begin trying for a baby again.
However the mum of four sons was left devastated when doctors could find no cause for her miscarriage - Danielle had believed it was her endometriosis - and has now given herself a deadline of a year before she will stop trying for a baby girl.
Heartbreak: Danielle Lloyd has revealed she underwent an operation to determine the cause of her tragic miscarriage last year - with doctors unable to find a reason for her loss (pictured 2019)
Speaking to New! Magazine, Danielle said it was her 'dream' to have a daughter, saying: 'I know to some people who might not even have one child, it will sound a little bit selfish but I'd really like one more
'I felt disheartened. It was bittersweet because obviously nobody wants anything wrong with them but I'd got it into my head that it was going to be sorted and then I could think about having a baby.
I blamed the endometriosis for my miscarriage and thought when that went, everything else would be OK. To then get the news that there's nothing there, I thought, what is wrong then? Why can I not get pregnant, am I just getting older?'
In the wake of fertility troubles, Danielle began to experience anxiety and depression, before she had a breakdown.

Danielle has now been advised that she should go on the pill to help with anxiety, depression, anxiety mood swings and irregular and heavy periods - but has decided not to due to her desire for a fifth child.
Danielle, who is married to Michael O'Neill, has spoken openly about trying gender selection so the couple can have a daughter together. They share son Ronnie, three.
Danielle is also mum to three sons with ex-husband Jamie O'Hara - Archie, 10, Harry, nine, and George, seven.

Barnum, P.T.: The Art of Money Getting. V1. 26-May-2013
hineas Taylor Barnum (July 5, 1810 – April 7, 1891) was an American showman, businessman, scam artist and entertainer, remembered for promoting celebrated hoaxes and for founding the circus that became the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
Barnum wrote several books, including Life of P.T. Barnum (1854), The Humbugs of the World (1865), Struggles and Triumphs (1869), and The Art of Money-Getting (1880).
One of Barnum's more successful methods of self-promotion was mass publication of his autobiography. Barnum eventually gave up his copyright to allow other printers to sell inexpensive editions. At the end of the 19th century the number of copies printed was second only to the New Testament in North America.
Often referred to as the "Prince of Humbugs," Barnum saw nothing wrong in entertainers or vendors using hype (or "humbug," as he termed it) in promotional material, as long as the public was getting value for money. However, he was contemptuous of those who made money through fraudulent deceptions, especially the spiritualist mediums popular in his day, testifying against noted spirit photographer William H. Mumler in his trial for fraud. Prefiguring illusionists Harry Houdini and James Randi, Barnum exposed "the tricks of the trade" used by mediums to cheat the bereaved. In The Humbugs of the World, he offered $500 to any medium who could prove power to communicate with the dead.

With respect to the healthfulness of the water, most health experts, that are up to date on current research, are no longer recommending drinking RO or distilled water on a long-term basis because these methods strip out all of the beneficial minerals from the water making the water an acidic “hypotonic” solution. A chemist will tell you that any time a hypotonic (de-mineralized) solution comes into contact with a “Hypertonic” (Mineralized) solution, the minerals within the hypertonic solution will transfer out of hypertonic solution and into the hypotonic solution until equilibrium is achieved. What this means is simply that when one drinks hypotonic water, the minerals in the blood and lymphatic system, which are hypertonic, transfer into the hypotonic RO or Distilled water that is consumed and the minerals are flushed out of the body upon urination.
In an effort to re-mineralize, the blood and lymphatic systems then begin to scavenge for minerals from other parts of the body, such as bones and other organs, and this process repeats itself every time de-mineralized hypotonic water is re-consumed. Several studies suggest that people who drink de-mineralized water (hypotonic) over a long period of time tend to be more prone to degenerative diseases such as osteoporosis.
Berkey® Purification systems do not remove the beneficial minerals from the water but they do extract harmful heavy metals such as lead and mercury as well as sedimentary minerals such as iron oxide. Therefore, the TDS reading will not typically change much unless there are a lot of heavy metals or sedimentary minerals within the source water.
Is there a way to verify for myself the effects of drinking de-mineralized hypotonic water?
Yes, you can check this out for yourself during a short fast. First check the TDS reading on your RO or distilled water, which should be around 1-3ppm. Then after drinking that water for several days check the TDS reading of your urine. Remember, the TDS only measures minerals not chemicals so any minerals that the TDS meter reads are minerals that are being leached or flushed out from your body.
What is the pathological removal capability of an RO system?
With respect to Pathogenic Bacterial removal, Reverse Osmosis does not remove Pathogenic bacteria and that is why it is often necessary to add an additional UV light to the system. However, the UV sometimes does not kill all the bacteria because any turbidity in the water can create shaded spots preventing some bacteria from being exposed. Typically, the UV is installed before the bladder tank, however it is in the bladder tank that bacteria usually colonize. Therefore, if the bladder tank is not sterilized on a regular basis, it becomes a source for bacteriological contamination that is never exposed to UV. Additionally, the carcasses of the dead bacteria remain within the drinking water with an RO system whereas they are removed by the Black Berkey™purification elements.
Which type of water will have the best taste?
With respect to taste, distilled water will taste flat unless you shake it up rigorously because the distillation process strips the oxygen from the water. The taste of RO water is typically very good. The taste of Berkey® purified water is typically very good unless there is an excessive amount of ionized minerals in the source water. Even in such circumstances the improvement in the taste of the water is usually remarkable.
With respect to maintenance, how do the three types of systems compare?
All Berkey® systems are easy to disassemble and clean. Typically the lower chamber should be washed in ordinary dishwater once per month. The elements need to be cleaned after 6-12 months of use.
Distillation systems need to be soaked and cleaned with vinegar solution to remove the scale, typically after each gallon or two.
Reverse Osmosis systems can have up to four filter elements, with each needing to be changed at differing intervals from four months up to two years. This requires that the water pressure be shut off and part or all of the system to be disassembled for maintenance. Additionally, the bladder tank should be washed with a chlorine solution at six-month intervals to kill any colonizing bacteria.
How do the three types of systems compare with respect to cost?
With respect to upfront cost, RO systems typically are the most expensive due to the cost of the system and the additional expense to have the system plumbed in. Next in cost would be a distillation unit. A Berkey® system will typically be the least expensive of the three.
With respect to cost per gallon of water, calculated upon the cost per gallon for replacement filters and energy costs, Distillation systems and RO systems properly maintained typically cost between 35-65 cents per gallon. A Berkey®system typically costs about 1.6 cents per gallon.

President Joe Biden released a $1.5 trillion wish list for his first federal budget, asking for substantial gains for Democratic priorities. Biden says priorities include funding a health research agency and combatting the ongoing opioid crisis. (April 9)
JOE BIDEN: I sent to Congress my funding priorities for the appropriations process, including two key public health initiatives that I'm pushing. First is, like DARPA in the Defense Department, which was designed to develop and has developed breakthroughs to protect us and enhance our physical safety, I'm proposing a $6.5 billion appropriation for what we call ARPA-H, which is focused on-- going to focus on health issues. This is a pioneering breakthrough that we hope we can detect and treat and prevent diseases like Alzheimer's and diabetes and give us a chance to end cancer as we know it, because we'll focus exclusively on those items.
And secondly, I'm proposing a historic funding increase of 50%, of $4 billion, to end the opioid crisis, which still ravages the country and has taken so many lives over the last two years. Resources both to states and to tribes for treatment as well as prevention. It also includes the single largest funding increase ever for Title I schools, schools for disadvantaged schools, to lift up the millions of children in low-income families.
And so it doubles the funding as well for VAWA services, including resources to end the rape kit backlog. We've been working this for a long, long time, and we still have a backlog in the rape kit. And the point is, a significant number of women who have been raped and the person has not been found and convicted is because they're sitting in jail. The average rapist rapes about six times. And so out there, we want to make sure we go through this backlog and find out to bring some certitude.
So I look forward to working with Congress to advance these and other priorities. I think we're going to be able-- again, I'm hoping it'll have some bipartisan support across the board. I've already spoken to some of my Republican colleagues about dealing with the infrastructure legislation we have up there, as well as other budget items, so we're going to work on it, see if we can get some bipartisan support across the board here. But that's what we're about to do now. We're going to talk about our economic priorities, and we'll get the brief from the team here.

3 Edna Terrace, New Hartford, New York
The air was rife with rumors about the auction of a lifetime.
The town of Alden, New York, was auctioning off a 15 HP Otto and
Rumsey triplex water pump, one of two units installed in 1899 to
pump water for the village of Alden. The auction was the same
weekend as the Fall Swap Meet at Coolspring, Pennsylvania. Everyone
at the swap meet was talking and the rumors and speculations were
mounting. The rumors peaked at a $40,000 bid from England! Needless
to say, things were pretty quiet the night before the auction, as
many folks left Coolspring to witness the event. My friend and I
decided we had to check it out, since it was close to home.
We arrived around 11:30 a.m. at the site, on the day of the
auction. Off in the woods, next to a small stream, was a small,
unassuming brick building. Inside were the two 15 HP Otto engines,
complete with oilers, clutches, triplex pumps, the works. For being
installed in 1899 and last run in the early 1970s, they were in
remarkable condition. The engines were fired with natural gas, and
had the original regulators on the wall behind them. They were very
complete. The winning bidder had the choice of the two units. The
Alden Historical Society will display the other unit in the town
museum. This installation was mentioned in Otto sales catalogs from
the early 20th century.
Both engines sported most of the pinstriping and paint that they
had from the factory in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They were both
free, and the left engine even had compression. The typical gas
engine nut would have very little trouble coaxing either of these
engines to life. The pumps were a bit more rusty but in similar
condition. The years of use were evident by the black streaks
behind the flywheels, where the oil from the mains was flung up by
the flywheels. As the pictures show, the engines were connected to
their pumps through a direct connected clutch.
Although we didn’t stay for the auction, we found out later
that the final tally was quite high, although not as much as
speculated. It was purchased by Paul Stoltzfoos of Leola,
Pennsylvania, who found out about it on the internet. It is said
that it will either be displayed at the Rough and Tumble grounds in
Kinzers, Pennsylvania, or converted to a gasoline engine and
married to a Morton traction engine chassis, or both. (Eds.
note: Mr. Stoltzfoos shared with us a copy of the original
minutes of the town officially recording the purchase of the engine
in 1899 for $1225.00.)
It is getting harder and harder to find installations like this,
but they are out there. You just need to keep your eyes and ears
open, and be blessed with a little luck.

REDIRECT::Timberwolves hoping for better success at Warriors
OAKLAND, Calif. -- The highest scoring guard in the NBA on Wednesday night will be performing at the Minnesota Timberwolves-Golden State Warriors game on Friday and, no, it's not the league's leading scorer, Stephen Curry.
Nor, for that matter, is it record-setting 3-point marksman Klay Thompson.
Rather, it'll be the Timberwolves' Derrick Rose who carries that distinction after a 50-point explosion in Wednesday's 128-125 overtime win over Utah.
Now the question becomes: Can Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau squeeze him into Friday's lineup?
The Timberwolves might experience an embarrassment of riches at the guard spot for their game against the Warriors, with Jimmy Butler expected to rejoin the team after resting on Wednesday.
It's also possible that Jeff Teague, who missed Wednesday's game with a sore knee, could return to face the two-time defending champs.
Rose had never played more than 32 minutes as a backup through seven games before getting a start in the absence of his two guard teammates against the Jazz and putting in 41 minutes.
Thibodeau assured one thing: Butler won't be punished for what some perceived as another indication that he's not happy to still be in Minnesota.
"We knew going in that when you miss training camp like he did, that basically this is his training camp, so there's soreness involved," the coach explained to reporters Wednesday. "We talk to him, see how he's feeling. When he has soreness, there's going to be precautionary rest."
Regardless of who starts in the Minnesota backcourt, they'll have their hands full with Curry and Thompson, both of whom have been in the news already this season.
Curry did Rose one better, pouring in 51 points in a home win over Washington last Wednesday. He has scored 30 or more points in six of the Warriors' nine games.
Thompson, meanwhile, erased Curry's name from an NBA record Monday in Chicago, dropping in 14 3-pointers to eclipse the old mark by one.
"Two great moments, great to be a part of it," Kevin Durant reflected upon Curry's 13 threes in 2016 and Thompson's 14 earlier this week. "To see Steph break the record first two years ago and to see Klay break it. It's only fitting that those two hold the records, hold the most 3-point shots in a game.
"The best shooters to ever walk the earth, and probably nobody will ever shoot like those two ever again."
Statistically, Durant has been a better shooter than both this season, having connected on 55.9 percent of his shots. Curry currently stands at 54.9 percent, and Thompson 43.9.
All three contributed significantly to Wednesday's 131-121 home win over New Orleans on Wednesday in a rematch of last season's Western Conference semifinals. Curry led all scorers with 37 points, Durant added 24 and Thompson 18, with the trio combining to shoot 29-for-54.
The Warriors have won six in a row, scoring 120 or more points in all six. They lead the NBA in points per game (125.0) and field goal percentage (52.4).
The Timberwolves, who have won two straight, came up short on both visits to Oakland last season, giving up 125 and 126 points.

Sonnes #7 Detoxification Liquid 32 oz Bentonite
For centuries, native tribes around the world have recognized and benefited from the healing properties of bentonite clay in internal and external applications. In the early 20th century, bentonite clay was used by the British Army in India to treat acute bacterial food poisoning and in China to help treat cholera. We use a special process to refine the raw bentonite clay to remove mica, dirt and other impurities, in order to concentrate the active detoxifying ingredient, montmorillonite ("mont-mor-ill-o-nite"). This procedure places montmorillonite into a colloidal suspension and retains its innate negative charge. These properties allow the powerful adsorption (physical binding) of positively charged substances. (Most metabolic, environmental, and chemical wastes are positively charged.) Montmorillonite possesses the ability to adsorb about 40 times its own weight in positively charged substances present in the alimentary canal. Because montomorillonite has such strong absorptive properties and is not digested, it tightly binds material to be excreted.
History of Use
Bentonite is not a new product. Primitive tribes of various continents have been using volcanic ash for centuries for various conditions of ill health. Primitives used to carry with them a ball of bentonite clay, which they would mix with water. They would dip their food into it before eating to prevent "sick stomach". Liquid bentonite was used for centuries in China for summer diarrhea and cholera. In 1712, Father Deutrecolle, a Jesuit Missionary, described the clay works in China and mentioned that the clay (bentonite) was used for diarrhea. The use of bentonite as an adjunct to medications during the Balkan war of 1910 helped to reduce the mortality from cholera among the soldiers from 60% to 3%, and also proved valuable in the 1919 cholera epidemic in China. In India, bentonite was found useful for acute bacterial food poisoning encountered by the British Army. For over 50 years, we have made this ancient secret available for modern man. Imagine, a natural clay that can draw pesticides, clean and disinfect wounds, support immune function, and make food and water safe for consumption - without side effects!
What is Bentonite?
Bentonite is a natural clay mineral formed in the extreme heat and pressure of a volcano. In ages past, it was blown into the sky by volcanic action, and sifted down to earth to help impregnate the soil with its 25 - 35 trace minerals. Sometimes it accumulates in layers or veins from which it is presently mined. Although bentonite contains a rich amount of minerals, there is no evidence that we can absorb any of its mineral content. Anyone who tries to sell the product on the basis of the minerals in it is only guessing.
Many products on the market use bentonite in a raw and unprocessed form. However, our bentonite is different. In making our Detoxificant we start with the highest quality bentonite (U.S.P. Grade), and mix it with purified demineralized water. During our exclusive and secret process, the mica and impurities are removed, and the purified montmorillonite is put into a liquid colloidal-gel state. The product is sterilized and subjected to independent laboratory analysis for heavy metals and microbiology, ensuring a substance suitable for internal use and detoxification. It works better simply because it is better.
Bentonite should never be packaged in plastic. Because of its extreme drawing properties, bentonite can leach petrochemicals from plastic bottles. That is why Sonne´s only packages #7 Detoxificant in inert glass bottles.
The Expert's Opinion
Dr. Robert T. Martin is a mineralogist and one of America´s outstanding authorities on bentonite. According to his research, its action is due to five characteristics:
1. It has a large and varied mineral content.
2. It has a negative electrical attraction for positively charged particles.
In the human body, various toxic poisons are positively charged.
3. Seen under a high power microscope, bentonite is composed of extremely minute rectangular particles
in the shape of a credit card. The wide surfaces are negatively charged and the edges are positively charged.
Therefore, its adsorptive power is many thousand times more negative than positive.
4. The very minuteness of its particles gives it a large surface area in proportion to the volume used,
enabling it to pick up many times its own weight in positively charged particles.
5. To obtain maximum effectiveness in the human body, it should be put in a liquid colloidal-gel state.
This is why we do not keep it as powder or put it into a tablet form to save shipping costs.
Dr. Martin stated that one gram (1/28 ounce) of our product has a surface area of 800 sq. meters. This is 40 times that of its commercial competitors. The larger the surface area, the greater its power to pick up positively charged particles (toxins). An edition of the Dispensatory of the United States of America states:
"In aqueous suspension, the individual particles of bentonite are negatively charged, this resulting in a strong attraction for positively charged particles and being responsible for the ability of bentonite to clarify such liquid as contain positively charged particles of suspended matter."
Since bentonite has such strong absorptive powers, its consumption could theoretically render unavailable some nutrients, as certain vitamins, by adsorbing them from the alimentary canal. However, independent experiments designed to find out how much such adsorption might adversely affect the growth and health of experimental animals indicated no ill effects when the intake of bentonite was 25% of the total diet. (Reference: Annals of the N.Y. Academy of Science, Vol. 57, page 678). Our product is mostly water, with only a small proportion of bentonite. In order for the bentonite in our product to reach a toxic level (i.e., 50% of the total diet) it would be necessary to consume a 3-year supply each day for an extended period of time.
Montmorillonite is classified as a hydrated aluminum silicate. But, it is very different from the aluminum used in cooking utensils, deodorants and other preparations. The aluminum molecule is integral to the structure of montmorillonite, and cannot be removed by normal digestive processes.
For average adults, take 1 tablespoon. For others, take 1 teaspoon for each 50 lbs. body weight.
Take 2 doses per day. The first one in warm water upon rising in the morning; the other undiluted at time of evening meal. It is important to drink plenty of water between meals to assist in elimination. It can also be taken in conjunction with #9 Intestinal Cleanser in juice or water. May be taken as long as desired

Houssem Aouar has opened up on the transfer speculation surrounding him this summer and insists he is far from ‘disappointed’ despite missing out on a move to Arsenal.
The Lyon midfielder was strongly linked with a move to the Emirates as Mikel Arteta sought to strengthen his options this summer, but despite several negotiations, a move failed to materialise with the north London side failing to meet the Ligue 1 side’s asking price.
Arsenal instead turned their attentions to another leading target in Thomas Partey, with the Atletico Madrid star signing in a £45m deal on the final day of the transfer window.
Aouar has been asked about his failed move to the Premier League but insists he is not disappointed a potential transfer fell through, revealing his focus is firmly on enjoying a good season with Lyon as the club look to bounce back from a disappointing domestic campaign last term.
“Of course I asked myself all the necessary questions,” he said following France’s 7-1 win over Ukraine.
“I am in the headspace to have a great season with my club and get back the points that we have lost.
“So of course we are going to try to do the best season and to try to put the team and the club back in its rightful place, at the top of France.
“Disappointed? I am the opposite. I am at home, in the club that I love, with my friends and my family.
“So certainly I have all my bearings and it is giving me even more motivation to have a good season and to bring the club back into the top places in France.”

March For Science on Washington is the newest protest to manifest itself under the Trump Presidency. The march joins the past Women’s March and the upcoming General Strike as an act of defiance against a president who doesn’t act with the country’s best interests in mind. Like, you know, pretending global warming isn’t a thing…
The March for Science is a call to action to help support and safeguard the scientific community. Donald Trump’s recent policy changes have caused a mischaracterization of science. It is time for people who support scientific research and evidence-based policies to take a public stand. So take part, stand in solidarity on Earth Day, April 22, and go to the March For Science on Washington.
As you can imagine, there have been more than few critics calling this march out for being susceptible to agendas of “social justice warriors”. There has been a strange backlash in the scientific community that believes diversity and inclusion are anti-science.
YouTuber Steve Shives is urging people to reconsider. Diversity, inclusion, and equality are necessary conditions for the good of the human condition and are by no means anti-science. The below video showcases that making science more inclusive for everyone is not a political issue. It’s about creating a fair and just society of study.
Don’t let people sway your passions with identity politics or hysteria surrounding political activism. Stand in solidarity.

Consumers really, really want a television built by Apple, says a recent survey, but they aren’t about to get one, says a former Apple executive. If the pent-up demand for a better television experience is so great, with a potential market of up to 56 million devices in the US alone, why wouldn’t Apple, with its bottomless reserves of cash, dive right in?
Perhaps the very reasons consumers want an “iTV” are the same ones preventing Cupertino from giving them one.
1. Apple sells experiences
Consumers don’t hate their TVs. They hate the TV industry. Consumers want a-la-carte, on-demand everything. They want television to be like the internet. When they turn on that box in the living room, they don’t want to feel, as Apple CEO Tim Cook put it, “like I have gone backwards in time by 20 to 30 years.”
For Apple to turn TV into a seamless, Apple-like experience, the company would have to find a way to circumvent the monopoly of America’s local cable providers and equally powerful cable television networks. Steve Jobs already did something like that with the music industry, and look what happened to them. Every cable executive on the planet remembers that.
Or take the example of the iPhone. In order to create an Apple experience on a phone, Apple played hardball with AT&T, and the result was an inversion of the usual power dynamics between handset makers and carriers. Apple got pretty much everything it wanted—control over device specifications, profits from its own app store—and AT&T got exclusive access to the iPhone, but only for a little while.
2. Cable networks like the status quo just fine
Cable networks, on the other hand, have no interest in exposing themselves to the economics of the internet. Every media industry that has embraced some version of “information wants to be free” has discovered, painfully, that existing distribution methods, in which content is bundled together or tied to a particular medium, are full of cross-subsidies that no one thought about until they were gone.
Apple already makes a set-top box, the Apple TV, which accesses content through the internet. It has countless competitors. Every single one of them would like to obliterate the line between television and the internet, and none of them are going to succeed as long as cable networks can earn record profits on the backs of a handful of very popular shows that are showing nowhere else, unless you count piracy.
3. An iTV would be the least Apple product ever
Apple does not make commodity anything. The premium it charges for its products is so large that it produces the lion’s share of profits in a mobile industry where it has a minority share of the market. Consumers pay that premium because Apple differentiates itself by creating the best user experience in an industry, by whatever combination of hardware and software is required.
Television is not a market in which Apple can de-materialize an entire medium, as it did with music, or upset the balance of power between those who create infrastructure and those who depend on it, as it did in the mobile industry. And one of the reasons Apple can’t do to television what it did to those industries is that television and movie executives have those cautionary examples in their mental rolodexes of how not to decimate their profit margins.
So an iTV could have all the design flourishes of any other Apple device, but consumers would never be satisfied with it. If it had the best picture ever, it would compete with models produced by the very companies who provide the iTV’s display to Apple. If it had the most logical interface for navigating cable and streaming television options, savvy consumers would wonder why they shouldn’t just buy a box that does the same thing, like an Apple TV, and hook it up to a comparable television. And if Tim Cook negotiated a deal to turn iTunes into a streaming service, a Netflix-killer, he’d still be up against the companies that Netflix cannot best: the cable networks themselves.
There simply isn’t an industry-redefining point of entry for Apple in television. Which means the company has no opportunity to create an experience for people that is, in sum, different from and substantially different than all the other options out there.
Some analysts insist that Apple is building a television, anyway. And Tim Cook has said television is an area of “intense interest” for the company. But what he almost certainly means, says former Apple executive Jean-Louis Gassée, is that “Apple’s CEO is indicating that he’ll continue to invest talent and money until the TV obstacles [i.e. old models of distribution] are finally surmounted.” In other words, some day Apple could reach an agreement with cable providers themselves, leading to competition and a reconstituted television and even movie industry. But there’s no telling when that “some day” will be.

About 1000 nurses and nursing students rallied at the Michigan State Capitol today, expressing their support for a bill that would establish minimum nurse-to-patient ratios.
House Bill 4008, otherwise known at the Safe Patient Care Act, was introduced in January 2009 but has since languished in committee.Â The Michigan Nurses Association organized the rally to draw attention to the bill — a bill many nurses say is necessary to maintain safe patient care.
California made headlines in 1999 when it introduced — and passed — a similar bill.Â Despite opposition, the California bill was signed into law and took effect in 2004.Â Dozens of other states currently have or are considered laws to establish nurse-to-patient ratios, despite the fact that research has yet to identify optimal nurse/patient ratios.Â No action was taken on a federal bill introduced in 2005.
Nurses across Michigan support the bill, which would also abolish mandatory overtime.Â The Michigan Health and Hospital Association opposes the bill.
What do you think?Â Do you think state government should legislate nurse/patient ratios?

While the nursing home industry is reporting “astonishing” profits, according to an advocacy group, a recent survey of facilities across the U.S. shows that most are cutting workers, wages or benefits.
“Nursing homes remain highly profitable despite last year’s announcement by the United States’ Department of Health and Human Services to adjust the Medicare reimbursement rate by 11.1 percent,” the nursing home advocacy group Families for Better Care says in a press release.
“The industry’s analysts framed the Medicare adjustment as an eventual doomsday for the nation’s nursing home market. But the industry’s own reports show quite the opposite, revealing surging revenues, strong profits, and expansion through acquisitions,” said Brian Lee, Executive Director of Families for Better Care. “The industry is wallowing in strong profits while failing to consistently provide quality care.”
Lee, who was Florida’s top nursing home watchdog until forced to resign by a governor with close ties to the long-term care industry, charged that executives target labor costs to offset any reimbursement adjustments. “While this obviously maintains a robust bottom line for investors and cushy CEO salaries,” Lee said, “the decline in frontline staff puts residents in jeopardy for harm while simultaneously creating dangerous working conditions for employees.”
Evidence of these workforce reductions is found in a study recently released by Avalere Health LLC. The study surveyed 292 respondents representing nearly 3,000 facilities across the U.S. and found that 37 percent were laying off direct care workers, 74 percent were changing wage rates, including reducing or freezing wages, and 48 percent plan to cut benefits.
Boston, Massachusetts nursing home abuse attorney Bernard J. Hamill, who reported the study, says “families need know that there is a correlation between staffing levels and the adequacy of elder care in nursing homes.”
Industry Says For-Profit Homes Aren’t Whole Story
The American Health Care Association (AHCA), which represents the nursing home industry, disputed Families for Better Care’s finding of great profits across the nursing home industry, saying the advocacy group focused only on the industry’s for-profit and publicly traded sectors.
“This is not a homogenous industry. This summary looks only at publicly traded companies, and there are only a few,” Greg Crist, vice president of public affairs at AHCA, told Senior Housing News. “This is an extremely diverse sector with all sorts of providers. The for-profit community is not an accurate reflection of the challenges facing our sector.”
A previous study reported by ElderLawAnswers found that the largest for-profit facilities typically maintain staffing levels nearly one-third lower than non-profit and government-owned nursing homes, resulting in a significantly lower quality of care.
Campaign Dollars Continue to Flow
Meanwhile, a nursing home trade group, The Alliance for Quality Nursing Home Care, has given the Utah Republican Party $175,000, apparently in an effort to help Sen. Orrin Hatch stave off a Tea Party challenge and win re-election to a seventh term, the Associated Press has reported. If Hatch wins and if Republicans take over the Senate, Hatch would chair the Senate committee that oversees Medicare and Medicaid, which disburses tens of billions to nursing homes each year.
In a related development, a judge recently refused to dismiss Brian Lee’s lawsuit against the state of Florida, Lee claims the state violated its own "whistle-blower" law by forcing him to resign in retaliation for his advocacy on behalf of long-term care residents.

§ Order for Second Reading read.
Motion made, and Question proposed,
That the Bill be now read the second time.
§ MR. CRAUFURD
said, he objected to 856 the mode in which the County Court Judges had been treated. Their work had constantly been increased, and would receive still further additions by this Bill. It was true that an addition to their salaries was proposed in the present measure, but it took the objectionable form of fees instead of a fixed salary; and as the superannuation allowances for County Court Judges were determined on the amounts of their fixed salaries, there appeared to be, as far as he could see, no provision for any increase in their superannuation.
§ SIR FITZROY KELLY
said, he was anxious to take the earliest opportunity of thanking Her Majesty's Government for the introduction of this Bill, which would effect a greater improvement in that branch of the administration of justice which more immediately concerned the labouring and many of the middle classes than any measure which had for a long time been brought before the House. At the same time he entirely agreed with what had been said by his hon. and learned Friend opposite (Mr. Craufurd) as to the insufficiency of the remuneration of County Court Judges. Their claims had been on more than one occasion altogether disregarded in that House, though there had been, he believed, a contrary disposition in the House of Lords. Although all the highest authorities had desired to do them justice, objections had always been raised, emanating, as it was supposed, from the Finance Minister, or those who regulated the administration of the finances compromises had been come to, and Bills involving the question of the proper remuneration of these Judges had never had fair play in either House of Parliament. There was within Her Majesty's dominions no more important or more useful, no more hardly worked and badly paid class of men than the County Court Judges, and he hoped that the House would at last be able and be willing to do them justice. He hoped that a sufficient interval would be allowed before the Bill went into Committee to enable the House to receive Returns upon which might be framed Amendments to the system of paying the County Court Judges an additional remuneration out of fees, which, as proposed by this Bill, appeared to him to be the worst that the wit of man could have devised. If no other Member proposed such Amendments, he should himself give notice of them, and he therefore hoped that the House would not be asked to go into Committee until after Whitsuntide.
§ MR. HIBBERT
said, he did not oppose the second reading of the Bill, but objected to the 13th Clause. As that clause was originally framed the Judges were not to receive additions which would raise their salaries to more than £1,600 a year, while as it now stood the additions were not to exceed £300 a year, so that the salaries of those Judges who now received £1,500 a year might be raised to £1,800. He also objected to the equal distribution of the fees among all the Judges, so that the Judge of an agricultural district, upon whom comparatively little extra labour might be imposed by this Bill, would receive as great an addition to his salary as would the Judge of one of the populous districts in Lancashire, upon whom it might impose a very large amount of extra work. He did not concur in the mode proposed of paying additional salaries by fees. It was not desirable that suitors should feel that they were paying the salaries of the Judges, and he should prefer that the amount be charged on the Consolidated Fund.
§ MR. MALINS
said, that although he did not intend to oppose the second reading of the Bill, he could not give it so cordial an approval as his hon. and learned Friend the Member for Suffolk (Sir FitzRoy Kelly) had done. He entertained considerable fears as to its working, and grave doubts as to the expediency of having a number of small Courts of Chancery all over the country. It was most important that the County Court Judges should not be overloaded with work, because if they were the whole system would break down. At present they could only try actions at law up to £50, and why their jurisdiction in equity should be extended to £500 he could not understand. The cases involving actions at law were simple indeed compared with those which involved equity. In the former case it was generally a simple question whether a man should or should not pay a debt There were two reasons for the existing limitations—one, that the courts were not of so high a character that they ought to decide questions of great importance, and the other that it was necessary that they should deal only with such cases as could be easily and speedily disposed of. By this Bill it was proposed to give them jurisdiction in all matters of foreclosure and redemption, enforcing liens or charges upon land, and bills for specific performance, without saying anything as to the pleadings to be adopted or the modes of trial to be followed. These classes of cases, espe- 858 cially those for specific performance, were difficult and often lengthy, and he was afraid that if they were to be tried in the County Court by Judges who were often only a single day in one place, they might interfere with the arrangement of business and break down the whole system. He hoped that when the House went into Committee on the Bill his hon. and learned Friend (the Attorney General) would enter into a careful consideration of the subject. He for one did not think it was desirable that the jurisdiction to be given under the Bill should be so extensive as was proposed. There should be no such jurisdiction, he thought, in those cases in which the property involved amounted to more than £200.
§ MR. AYRTON
said, that if the Bill were to become law, it would be necessary to consider the position of the registrars of County Courts, with the view of securing that they should possess some legal qualification. They should be either barristers or attorneys. In answer to the argument of the hon. and learned Member for Suffolk (Sir Fitz Roy Kelly), who had laid it down as a doctrine to be universally adopted, that persons ought not to pay fees who had recourse to a court of justice, he would observe that he entirely dissented from that view. Suitors went there for their own benefit, or through their own fault; and when the County Courts were first established, a pledge was given that the fees should be commensurate with the whole expense of those courts.
§ SIR FITZROY KELLY
said, the hon. and learned Gentleman had misunderstood him if he thought he objected to the imposition of fees. What he had stated on the subject was that the salary of the Judge should not depend on the chance sum taken for fees.
§ MR. WHITESIDE
said, he wished to know whether any attempt would be made to establish a scale of fees, as had been suggested by Lord St. Leonards, in another place, for cases of small value in the Court of Chancery.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
said, in reply to the remarks which had been made by the hon. and learned Member for Wallingford (Mr. Malins) in reference to specific performance, that it must be borne in mind that the principle on which County Courts were established at all was that it was better to administer rough justice than none, and to have questions settled—as far as possible—without having the property involved eaten up, as was frequently 859 the case in the Court of Chancery. As to the regulations which should be laid down concerning bills and pleadings, he had no doubt that as many forms as were found to be necessary would be adopted. On the question of payment he might observe that it was not the fact that the County Court Judges were not to be paid upon the principle of equality, though he admitted that the payments for the extra duties were not to be certain, but would depend upon the amount of the additional work done by each Judge.
§ Question put, and agreed to: Bill read 2°, and committed for Thursday 8th June.

[show abstract][hide abstract] ABSTRACT: At the 2005 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP), the Academy's Workgroup on Research conducted a Research Forum entitled "Increasing Research Literacy Through the Adoption of Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) in Pediatric Psychiatry."
Forum participants focused on speeding the adoption of EBP across five areas: EBP as the preferred heuristic for teaching research literacy, use of EBP in training programs, dissemination of EBP in clinical practice, EBP in partnership with industry, and EBP as a framework for developing practice guidelines.
EBP provides an easy-to-understand method for accessing and evaluating the research literature and then applying this information to decisions about patient care. Although EBP has been gaining greater visibility in pediatric psychiatry, it is far from the preferred heuristic. To move the field toward fully embracing EBP will require greater understanding of what EBP is (and is not), educating mental health professionals in EBP skills, access to EBP resources, and a commitment to apply EBP to the conceptualization and design of research protocols and practice guidelines.
Pediatric psychiatry would benefit from a principled commitment to follow other areas of medicine in adopting EBP.

[show abstract][hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to examine the balance between the benefits of treatment and the risk of suicidality in children and adolescents in multicenter, randomized, controlled trials of sertraline versus placebo.
The published literature was searched for multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled trials of sertraline for pediatric mental disorders. Four trials were identified: Two (pooled) in pediatric major depressive disorder (MDD; Wagner 2003) and two in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD; March et al. 1998; POTS Team 2004). Using intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis populations, the authors calculated the number needed to treat (NNT) for response and remission and the number needed to harm (NNH) for suicidality, and their ratio, for each clinical trial.
NNTs ranged from 2 to 10, indicating clinically meaningful benefits. Benefit was greater for OCD than for MDD, and for adolescents as compared with children in MDD. No age effect was apparent for OCD. Suicidality was reported in 8 patients (5 assigned to sertraline and 3 assigned to placebo). All but 1 (a placebo-treated patient in the Pfizer OCD trial) were enrolled in the sertraline MDD trial. The NNH for suicidality in MDD was 64. Treatment emergent suicidality was more common in children (NNH 28.7) than in adolescents (NNH 706.3). Because no patient developed suicidality in sertraline-treated OCD patients, the NNH for sertraline in OCD approaches infinity.
With the stipulation that doctor and patient preferences necessarily play a critical role in the choice of treatment, NNT to NNH ratios indicate a positive benefit-to-risk ratio for sertraline in adolescents with MDD and in patients of all ages with OCD.
