Do you have a specific physical wellness concern you want to heal? Although this site does not address specific illnesses (except for cancer) at this time, many lifestyle diseases have their roots in the same causes. Addressing what goes into your mind and body, and what comes out of your mind and body are essential to true healing.

How to Boost Your Immunity and Protect Yourself During Outbreaks - Your immune system is your protection against incoming bacterial, fungal, and viral invaders. Even if you succumb to a novel germ, a robust immune system can clear out the infection faster than a weak immune system and prevent you from becoming very ill for a longer period of time, or worse. This article discusses commonsense practices to protect yourself from contagious illnesses, as well as foods, herbs, and supplements that support your immune system and overall physical wellness.
Stress and Health - Physical, mental, and environmental stressors can have a detrimental effect on your mental and physical wellness. Stress causes elevated cortisol levels, which impacts physical functioning and your ability to heal. Over time, chronic stress causes your body to age faster. Emotional distress, such as the loss of a loved one, can negatively affect the health of your heart and cardiovascular system.
Holistic Pain Relief - Pain can put a major crimp on your life and your lifestyle. It can make doing even the simplest tasks difficult or impossible. Physical wellness can suffer when you can't exercise, sleep well, or eat right because pain keeps you down.
There are many reasons for pain - injury, degeneration, disease, and not a one-sized fits all answer for alleviating it. Fortunately, when physical pain is a problem, holistic pain relief techniques and pain relieving supplements, herbs and foods can be a godsend for easing discomfort, making movement easier, and providing other health benefits.
How to Restore Your Digestive Health - If you are experiencing 'tummy troubles', intestinal problems, or unexplained physical symptoms (including fatigue and low energy), take a look at your digestive health. Find out how to heal your gut so you feel better and are better able to absorb the nutrients your body needs for optimal health.
How to Have More Energy - Are you suffering from excess fatigue and lack of energy? If burning the candle at both ends instead of getting enough sleep isn't the reason, then the first step to restoring your energy is to find out why you are always so tired.
You don't have to settle for an inactive life or live from one caffeinated drink to another (which only drains your energy reserves in the long run). You can have more zip by closing your energy drains, putting some of these tips into practice, and using natural, healthy energy boosters to help you get up and go with more ease.
Detoxify Your Body - Did you know that by your late 50's, your body likely houses over 700 types of synthetics? Yuck! This toxicity can compromise physical wellness and put you at higher risk for disease.
Fortunately, your body's natural detoxification system is well equipped to eliminate metabolic waste and other toxins.
Learn how to take the strain off this overburdened system and give it what it needs to get the job done optimally.
Healthy Weight Loss Tips - Frustration with body weight is a top of mind issue that compromises mental well-being and body wellness. In mid-life, maintaining a healthy weight in order to look and feel good can be a challenging goal.When we put media-driven ideas of perfection aside and focus on good health, realistic goals, and a positive body image, it is attainable.
The following tips can help you eat the best healthy weight loss diet in order to lose weight and keep it off.
Cancer can have several causes. This scary disease is predicted to affect half of us by our later years.
The good news is that there is much you can do to prevent cancer and help yourself heal from it with a holistic natural approach. There are also effective, safe alternative and natural cancer treatments being developed and successfully used with and without conventional methods.
Specific physical wellness issues can be problematic at any age, but the older we get, the more at risk we are. Pain, digestive troubles, lack of energy, and weight gain are common issues that put a serious damper on your quality of life. Not only that, but they put you in a vicious cycle of premature aging, a variety of unpleasant symptoms, and lifestyle diseases.
If you are suffering from any of these health problems, know there is hope for healing. Learn about your condition, seek professional help if needed, and do what it takes to heal and feel your best. You can do it.

Floatopia is a UCSB variation on the Beach Party. 2009 is the third (or perhaps fifth) year that Floatopia has been held, but it's the first year that it became big enough for outsiders to notice. Participants at Floatopia are encouraged to bring boats, rafts, surfboards, or anything that will float, and party all day just outside the surfline at the Isla Vista beach. Others just party on the beach. This year the attendance at Floatopia was estimated to be 12,000. (By way of contrast, last year's party attracted about 4000, and the year before a mere 300.) The Independent reported it like this: "On Saturday afternoon, April 4, nearly 12,000 partygoers convened on Isla Vista’s narrow coastline to partake in this quintessential beach bash. From Devereux Beach to Campus Point, masses of college students swarmed for a spot on the half-mile stretch of sand to drink, dance, and float among the waves. Homemade rafts and store-bought inner tubes, filled to the brim with beer-toting celebrants, spilled across the sea side-by-side like bowls of cereal floating in a milky ocean. Hundreds watched from their balconies on Del Playa’s cliffs as deejays set up camp every quarter-mile, setting the tone for the thousands of beachgoers."
There were a few injuries: twelve people taken to the hospital, a couple fell off the cliff, and a number of people cut their feet on broken bottles. Sixty-nine were cited for various violations (mostly minor in possession of alcohol). Lots of trash was left on the beach. Some was picked up over the next few days during cleanups organized by A.S., but much of it was washed out to sea. Authorities were quick to label the event an "environmental disaster." (How much urine do 12,000 beer-drinkers produce in the course of a day?)
Students (and some alumni) painted a more positive picture. Fresman biology major Farley Connelly told the Nexus that the event was positive because it brought together two fine activities: drinking and floating. “It’s one of those things you can only do at UCSB,” Connelly said. “I don’t think at any other school you could drink beer all day and float on rafts. Floatopia takes floating and drinking to a whole different level.”
One of the interesting things about Floatopia is that because it is publicized almost exclusively on Facebook, there basically are no organizers. In this respect it's more like a flashmob than a regular event. All this drives authorities (in this case, the County Board of Supervisors and the County Sheriff) crazy. People have the right to peaceably assemble, and they also have the right to access and enjoy the beach.
Already Floatopia II is being announced on Facebook for this coming weekend, and the Board of Supervisors unanimously passed an emergency ordinance banning alcohol on IV beaches. There was a lot of talk about how many young people were in danger of drowning at Floatopia I, although in fact there were no drowning incidents at all. But the Supervisors felt a need to protect those fragile young people from themselves. In reality, sanitary facilities and beach cleanup are what are needed, but the Supervisors don't feel a need to provide those...
The proponents of Floatopia might want to take a look at what some other large, anarchistic, and unsanctioned parties do as regards organization. The Rainbow Gathering has been going on for several decades now, and their people have gotten really good at sanitation and cleanup. Burning Man is another example. There are serious issues that must be addressed whenever large groups gather together. I for one hope the students can make this party work without being subjected to draconian regulation from officials whose main goal in life is control.

Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Woman
George and Harold are always good at using their imaginations, and that drives their mean homeroom teacher, Ms. Ribble, crazy!

Wreck of the Ethie
In 1919, just before Christmas, the S.S. Ethie sets sail for St. John’s Harbor, but a violent winter storm casts the steamship onto the rocky cliffs of northwest Newfoundland, threatening the passengers’ survival
Ninety-two passengers and crew, all eager to be reunited with family for the holidays, are now at the mercy of the stormy sea. Seeing the wrecked ship off the coast, a fishing family sends their dog Skipper, a hardworking and courageous Newfoundland, to brave the icy and dangerous waters to carry a lifeline from the sinking ship to shore.
In this minute-by-minute fictionalized account of the S.S. Ethie’s dramatic voyage, Hillary Hyland vividly brings the adventure to life, showing the spirit of survival amongst the passengers and crew, as well as the strength and determination of a poor fishing family and their courageous dog to save those ninety-two souls.
Wright Brothers Nosediving Into History
A hilarious nonfiction look at two of history’s most epic “failures”: the Wright brothers, whose countless crashes ultimately led to groundbreaking success.
Although Orville and Wilbur Wright are celebrated today as heroes for their revolutionary contributions to science and engineering—they are acknowledged as the first men to successfully achieve powered, piloted flight—their success was hard-earned. (Spoiler alert: there were a lot of nosedives involved.) In fact, it took the self-taught engineers years of work and dozens of crashes before they managed a single twelve-second flight!
In this first installment of the brand new Epic Fails series, Ben Thompson and Erik Slader take readers through the Wright brothers’ many mishaps and misadventures as they paved the way for modern aviation.
The Epic Fails series takes a humorous and unexpected view of history, exploring the surprising stories behind a variety of groundbreaking discoveries, voyages, experiments, and innovations, illustrating how many of mankind’s biggest successes are in fact the result of some pretty epic failures.

Wrinkle in Time
Madeleine L’Engle’s ground-breaking science fiction and fantasy classic, soon to be a major motion picture.
It was a dark and stormy night; Meg Murry, her small brother Charles Wallace, and her mother had come down to the kitchen for a midnight snack when they were upset by the arrival of a most disturbing stranger.
“Wild nights are my glory,” the unearthly stranger told them. “I just got caught in a downdraft and blown off course. Let me sit down for a moment, and then I’ll be on my way. Speaking of ways, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract.”
A tesseract (in case the reader doesn’t know) is a wrinkle in time. To tell more would rob the reader of the enjoyment of Miss L’Engle’s unusual book. A Wrinkle in Time, winner of the Newbery Medal in 1963, is the story of the adventures in space and time of Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin O’Keefe (athlete, student, and one of the most popular boys in high school). They are in search of Meg’s father, a scientist who disappeared while engaged in secret work for the government on the tesseract problem.
A Wrinkle in Time is the winner of the 1963 Newbery Medal. It is the first book in The Time Quintet, which consists of A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, and An Acceptable Time.
A Wrinkle in Time is soon to be a movie from Disney, directed by Ava DuVernay, starring Storm Reid, Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling.
This title has Common Core connections.
Praise for A Wrinkle in Time:
“A Wrinkle in Time is one of my favorite books of all time. I’ve read it so often, I know it by heart. Meg Murry was my hero growing up. I wanted glasses and braces and my parents to stick me in an attic bedroom. And I so wanted to save Charles Wallace from IT.” —Meg Cabot
“A book that every young person should read, a book that provides a road map for seeking knowledge and compassion even at the worst of times, a book to make the world a better place.” —Cory Doctorow
“[L’Engle’s] work is one of the things that made me a writer, a science fiction and fantasy fan, an avid reader. Hers were the first books I read that mixed math and magic, the quest and the quantum.” —Scott Westerfeld
“A Wrinkle in Time taught me that you can tackle even the deepest and most slippery concepts of physics and philosophy in fiction for young readers. It’s a great lesson for all writers, and a tough tesseract to follow.” —David Lubar
“A coming of age fantasy story that sympathizes with typical teen girl awkwardness and insecurity, highlighting courage, resourcefulness and the importance of famiyl ties as key to overcoming them.” —Carol Platt Liebau, author, in the New York Post
“An exhilarating experience.” —Kirkus Reviews
“This imaginative book will be read for a long time into the future.” —Children’s Literature

Man killed in police shooting in downtown Austin ID'd
Austin police have identified a man who died in an officer-involved shooting in downtown Austin on Wednesday as 46-year-old Mauris Nishanga DeSilva.
DeSilva was fatally shot by officers inside the Springs Condominiums on Bowie Street, near West Third Street, around 5 p.m.
The officers who fired their weapons during the incident have been identified by the Austin Police Department as Karl Krycia, Christopher Taylor and Joseph Cast. Police said Cast deployed his stun gun.
Police were called to the condominiums around 4:55 p.m. when they received a call saying a man was banging loudly on emergency exit doors, and may have been having a mental breakdown, police said.
Witnesses also reported seeing him hold a knife to his throat in an elevator.
Police Chief Brian Manley said officers arrived and spoke to lobby staff. They told police the man was waiving the knife at the camera in the condo's gym.
Manley said a group of officers got into an elevator to go to the gym. When the doors opened, the spotted DeSilva and began giving him commands.
“It appears on (body-worn camera) video he’s initially holding what appears to be a very large kitchen knife to his throat,” Manley said. “He then pulls it down more towards his side, and begins walking towards the officers. As he takes a step or two towards the officers, two of the officers fired their duty pistols and one officer fired a Taser.”
Austin-Travis County EMS medics arrived and took the man to an area hospital, but he died from his wounds at 6:07 p.m.
Krycia, Taylor and Cast have all been placed on paid administrative leave while officials investigate, which is standard department protocol.

Volodymyr Zelensky and other top Ukrainian officials are offering thanks to their U.S. counterparts for a newly announced military aid package they say is crucial to fighting Russia.
The Ukrainian president and key ministers on Monday expressed gratitude to the Pentagon for approving another round of assistance that included more ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS). Ukraine has relied heavily on Western military aid since Russia launched its invasion on February 24. The nimble missile systems have been credited with allowing Ukraine to effectively strike against Russia’s larger military from far behind enemy lines.
The U.S. Department of Defense on Monday announced a new aid package valued at up to $1 billion to help Ukraine. Authorized by President Joe Biden, the package will draw on U.S. inventories of military supplies to provide additional ammunition, weapons and equipment to Ukraine.
“Every dollar of such aid is a step towards defeating the aggressor,” Zelensky said in a tweet, offering his thanks to the American people and Biden. “We’ll always remember leadership support of 🇺🇸 at a time when it’s most needed!”
Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov added in a tweet that the additional security assistance “meets our most critical needs on the front lines.”
In another tweet, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba called the security package “timely and essential” and said it “will help us defeat the ongoing Russian aggression.”
“This move proves that Ukraine and the U.S. enjoy a high level of trust and cooperation,” he said.
The White House-approved drawdown of military equipment to Ukraine is the 18th since August 2021, Todd Breasseale, acting Pentagon spokesman, said in a statement. He called the most recent drawdown of military stockpiles the largest of its kind and that the U.S. has committed approximately $9.8 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since Biden took office.
In addition to the HIMARS ammunition, the package includes mortar rounds, artillery, armored medical treatment vehicles, Claymore anti-personnel munitions, C-4 explosives and 1,000 Javelin missiles.
Breasseale said the newest military aid package to Ukraine includes ammunition, weapons and equipment that “the Ukrainian people are using so effectively to defend their country.”
U.S.-provided HIMARS first arrived in Ukraine in June. Built by U.S. arms maker Lockheed Martin, the missile system mounts to a standard Army truck frame and requires only a driver, gunner and launcher section chief to operate. Each system carries six GPS-guided missiles that can be reloaded in about a minute.
The missiles have a range of about 50 miles, nearly double that of M777 Western-made howitzers that have been used by Ukraine since May.
Ukrainian forces on Monday used HIMARS to damage the Antonovsky bridge, which crosses the Dnieper River in the Kherson administrative district, where Ukraine has launched a counteroffensive to reclaim Russian-occupied territory. Russian authorities confirmed the strike but downplayed its significance.
Russia is reportedly sending more forces to Ukraine’s south to bolster its presence. But Ukrainian officials remain optimistic about the counteroffensive’s prospects.
Ivan Fedorov, mayor of southern Ukrainian city Melitopol, said in a Telegram post Monday that Ukrainian forces had used HIMARS to kill more than 100 Russian soldiers in a recent rocket attack.
“Tonight is the most effective and shows that the existing enemy air defense units are no longer able to resist HIMARS,” he said.
Newsweek has reached out to the Pentagon for comment.

The dispute is in regards to the recalculation of refuse prices on virtually 100 inner-city property accounts amounting to greater than R21 million, which JPOMA maintains contravenes the CoJ’s personal bylaws.
Disconnections, hefty will increase
JPOMA chair Shaun Streaton stated they’re disenchanted that the CoJ is constant to concern notices of disconnection on back-billed accounts regardless of promising to droop any disconnections pending the result of the court docket case.
“In addition, it keeps insisting that our members sign acknowledgements of debt, which we unequivocally oppose,” he stated.
Streaton referred to the CoJ’s draft 2022 Integrated Development Plan, which he says proposes hefty will increase in all tariffs for the 2022/2023 fiscal 12 months, together with 4.85% on charges, 9.61% on electrical energy, 9.75% every on water and sewer, and 5% on refuse.
He stated the CoJ has now additionally back-billed sectional title properties for sewage for three-and-a-half years, no matter dimension, whether or not these properties are occupied or not, or location.
“A flat in the inner city is now expected to pay the same sewer rates as a 300m² erf in the suburbs,” he stated.
“These unlawful increases, coupled with crippling back billing, will destroy the affordable housing market in the inner city.”
Streaton claimed the CoJ is attempting to stability the expense aspect of its finances with ludicrous will increase, tariff modifications and illegal back-dated prices.
Errors, unfair billing
The JPOMA often receives calls from the general public, highlighting that this concern will not be remoted to the inside metropolis, he stated.
“And the more we hear, the more we realise the extent of the billing errors and unfair billing,” he stated.
Streaton added that the CoJ had transformed one JPOMA member’s property again to a enterprise tariff regardless of it being 100% residential.
“CoJ states that as a result of there’s a crèche on the property, it’s a enterprise. There isn’t any crèche, but the inspector refuses to satisfy with them.
“This unwillingness of the city to even discuss dragging issues will further force tenants to the informal market, where they don’t have to pay,” he stated.
Service supply points
Streaton added that JPOMA members pay greater than R80 million to the CoJ each month whereas the town council has categorically failed within the execution of its duties to maintain the town clear and protected whereas very important infrastructure, akin to roads, pavements, lighting and extra, have been left to crumble.
“Service supply is at an all-time low, but the town prices above-inflation will increase 12 months after 12 months for electrical energy, water and sewer.
“Our members have contributed a lot to creating the inside metropolis liveable, together with paying non-public firms to offer the cleansing and safety that COJ has didn’t do.
“We have a thriving neighborhood of tenants with out whom CoJ’s expressed want of being seen as a ‘world-class African city’ will come to nothing.
“The strongarm tactics employed by the city against those providing homes for this community is inequitable and will destroy businesses that keep a community in balance. This simply has to be challenged,” he stated.
Comment has been requested from the CoJ on the JPOMA’s excessive court docket functions and claims. This article might be up to date to incorporate its feedback as soon as they’re obtained.
Reaching for extra
The CoJ has additionally been concerned in spats with residents and non-profit organisations about levies it deliberate to introduce.
The metropolis introduced in May 2021 that it could drop a proposed R50 recycling levy from Budget 2021/22. It supposed to implement the levy on households from July 1 final 12 months as an addition to the present refuse elimination cost.
It additionally dropped a deliberate new pay as you go electrical energy levy.
The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) stated on the time the scrapping of those two deliberate levies was a victory for energetic residents, including: “This is why it is crucial for residents to participate in the public comment opportunities.”
City of Johannesburg spokesperson Nthatisi Modingoane confirmed on Monday that the town has obtained service of a evaluation utility instituted by, amongst others, JPOMA.
Modingoane stated by way of this evaluation, JPOMA and the opposite candidates search an order primarily setting apart the town’s tariff of prices for strong waste companies – the refuse elimination tariff – for the interval 2018 to 2021.
“The city and its attorneys are currently carefully considering the review application with the aim of opposing the relief being sought,” he stated.

In a resolution (A/HRC/C/L.29) on civil society space, adopted with a vote of 31 in favour, 7 against, with 9 abstentions, the Council urges States to create and maintain, in law and in practice, a safe and enabling environment in which civil society can operate free from hindrance and insecurity; also urges States to ensure access to justice, and accountability, and to end impunity for human rights violations and abuses against civil society actors; and calls upon States to ensure that domestic provisions on funding to civil society actors are in compliance with their international human rights obligations and commitments. The Council invites States to seek technical assistance and advice in this regard; and requests the High Commissioner to prepare a report compiling information on the procedures and practices in respect of civil society involvement with regional and international organizations, and to submit the compilation to the Human Rights Council at its thirty-eighth session.
The result of the vote was as follows:
In favour (31): Albania, Algeria, Bangladesh, Belgium, Botswana, Côte d’Ivoire, Ecuador, El Salvador, France, Georgia, Germany, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Latvia, Maldives, Mexico, Mongolia, Morocco, Namibia, Netherlands, Panama, Paraguay, Philippines, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Slovenia, Switzerland, The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Togo, and United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Against (7): China, Congo, Cuba, Nigeria, Russian Federation, South Africa, and Venezuela.
Abstentions (9): Bolivia, Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Viet Nam.
Ireland, introducing draft resolution L.29 on civil society space, said ensuring that the space in which civil society operated was safe was a priority. The draft resolution was about enabling civil society with the freedoms and rights that allowed them to carry out their work, including social assembly, association and expression. The work of civil society was to promote human rights, development, peace and security. This was work that underscored the purposes of the United Nations. The draft resolution was practical, capturing some challenges that civil society faced, as well as their contributions. Ireland thanked all States for their participation in the negotiations, and said that 30 revisions had been done to respond to all the differences. It regretted that 15 amendments had been proposed despite the revisions. Ireland hoped that these oral revisions would convince all those Member States who had proposed amendments to withdraw them.
Sierra Leone, also introducing draft resolution L.29 on civil society space, said civil society played a key role in the promotion and protection of human rights. The core group had a representation which reflected the broad scope of this issue. To ensure that all voices were heard and no one was left behind, the process had been an inclusive one. Over 34 revisions had been accepted since the negotiations. One of the primary objectives was to ensure not only the momentum of the past resolution, but to achieve a consensus text that would further ensure the promotion and protection of civil society actors. Sierra Leone hoped that the draft resolution would be supported by Member States.
Russian Federation, introducing amendments L.51 through L.65, said that it was presenting a set of amendments on behalf of a number of countries. The amendments were a necessary step. The countries on whose behalf the Russian Federation was speaking today attached importance to the issue under discussion. Regret was expressed that the main sponsors had only looked at civil and political rights. The inclusion of economic and cultural rights had been suggested many times but that suggestion had not been heeded. The amendments contained in L.51, L.57 and L.58 were withdrawn. Amendment L.63 had been proposed, which removed the direct quotes and references to that report. Other amendments and their contents were detailed. Regret was expressed that the main sponsors of the initiative were not prepared to find mutually acceptable solutions. Many of the issues and concerns could have been resolved through additional meetings. There had been defamatory media messages and messages on social media; the latter had included non-governmental organizations’ participation. That behaviour was an attempt to prevent countries from expressing concerns, and was a violation of the conduct of negotiations. Russian Federation asked for the consideration of the amendments separately.
Switzerland, speaking in a general comment on behalf of the co-sponsors, regretted that so many amendments had been made in spite of the multiple revisions that had aimed at satisfying the differences. Therefore, the co-sponsors would vote against all the amendments.
The President of the Human Rights Council announced that amendments L. 51 L.57 L.58 had been withdrawn.
United Kingdom, speaking in a general comment, said it strongly supported draft resolution L.29. Civil society organizations provided life-saving and life-changing services, in health, development and many more fields Civil society actors dedicated their lives to help others, often at personal risk. It regretted that such a large number of amendments had been tabled, many of them related to points already raised during the negotiations. The United Kingdom would vote against all amendments and called on all those who valued civil society to do the same.
Paraguay, speaking in a general comment, said it opposed amendments L.53 and L.64. The term human rights defenders was clear and understood, and it had been accepted in hundreds of resolutions, many of which had been adopted by consensus. In relation to L.53, the operations of civil society needed protection. The mention of Nobel Peace Prize actors did not set special rights for anyone. Paraguay also specified its rejection of amendment L.64. Paraguay called upon Member States to vote against these amendments.
Belgium, speaking in a general comment, said that human rights defenders played a key role in societies. Concern was expressed because space given to civil society was shrinking in many places. Belgium supported the resolution and called on all members to support the text as it was, without weakening its content, and to reject the amendments which were not accepted by all.
Portugal, speaking in a general comment, said civil society was crucial to all societies. The draft resolution recognized that important role for civil society. It provided practical options on how to maintain a safe and enabling environment for civil society.
Republic of Korea, speaking in a general comment, said it was a matter of priority to ensure a safe environment for civil society. Appreciation was expressed for the main sponsors’ efforts to strengthen the text. The text before the Council addressed a wide range of issues regarding the participation of civil society. A crucial part of the text was found in operative paragraph 13 on civil society in the Universal Periodic Review process. The Republic of Korea lent its support to the resolution as it stood and its opposition to all amendments.

The rapid advancement of technology has significantly transformed the way we communicate.
One remarkable development in recent years is the emergence of digital SIMs, commonly referred to as eSIMs. These digital SIMs provide an innovative alternative to the traditional physical SIM cards that have been a cornerstone of mobile communication for decades. The options like: a possibility to be in contact from everywhere, phone number generator, versatility – all these are the pros of eSIM.
In this comprehensive article, we will delve deep into the advantages and disadvantages of digital SIMs compared to traditional SIM cards, figure out their features, compatibility, and potential impact on the future of mobile communication. Additionally, we will explore the role of virtual phone numbers and its opportunities in the context of these two SIM technologies. So, Is digital SIM better than SIM card?
Traditional SIM Cards: A Closer Look
Traditional SIM cards, often called physical SIM cards, have been a fundamental element of mobile communication since their inception in the late 1980s. These small, removable chips are designed to store crucial subscriber information, including phone numbers, network preferences, and authentication keys. Once inserted into a compatible device, they grant access to a specific mobile network, allowing users to make calls, send texts, and access data services.
Advantages of Traditional SIM Cards
- Universality: One of the most notable advantages of traditional SIM cards is their universal compatibility. These cards are accepted and compatible with the majority of mobile devices and networks worldwide. Whether you possess a classic Nokia feature phone or the latest flagship smartphone, you can easily swap traditional SIM cards to change carriers or devices.
- Accessibility: Traditional SIM cards are readily available from mobile network operators, retail stores, and online sellers. This widespread accessibility makes them a convenient option for users who prefer the flexibility of choosing their mobile plan.
- Versatility: Physical SIM cards come in various sizes, including standard, micro, nano, and eSIM. This versatility enables users to employ them in an array of devices such as smartphones, tablets, routers, and even certain smartwatches, depending on the card's size and format.
- User Control: Traditional SIM cards provide users with full control over their mobile plan and carrier. Switching carriers or altering plans is as simple as replacing the SIM card, offering unparalleled flexibility.
Disadvantages of Traditional SIM Cards
While traditional SIM cards have been a reliable and widely adopted technology in the realm of mobile communication, they do come with some notable disadvantages.
- Susceptibility to Physical Damage: Traditional SIM cards are small and delicate, making them prone to wear and tear, potentially leading to connection issues.
- Vulnerability to Loss: The physical nature of traditional SIM cards means they can be easily lost or misplaced, resulting in the loss of important data and contacts.
- Sensitivity to Environmental Factors: Traditional SIM cards can be damaged by exposure to water, dust, or accidental mishandling, limiting their durability.
- Need for Special Tools: Inserting or removing a traditional SIM card requires users to have a physical card reader or ejector tool, which can be inconvenient, especially in emergencies.
- Administrative Hassles: Switching carriers with a traditional SIM card may involve administrative processes and delays, making it less convenient compared to the seamless transitions facilitated by eSIM technology.
Digital SIMs (eSIMs): The Modern Alternative
eSIMs represent a revolutionary departure from SIM cards. They are embedded directly into a device's hardware and negate the need for a physical SIM card. Instead, users can download and activate a virtual SIM card through methods like scanning a QR code or using a mobile app.
Advantages of Digital SIMs (eSIMs)
- Space Efficiency: eSIMs eliminate the need for a physical card slot, freeing up valuable space within your device. This space-saving feature is particularly beneficial for manufacturers striving to create thinner and more compact devices.
- Easy Setup: Activating an eSIM is a hassle-free process. Users can effortlessly scan a QR code provided by their carrier or utilize a mobile app to set up their mobile plan. This streamlined activation process is often quicker and more convenient than visiting a physical store to obtain a traditional SIM card.
- Multi-Carrier Support: Most eSIM-enabled devices allow users to store multiple eSIM profiles simultaneously. This means you can switch between carriers or plans without the need for physical swapping, making eSIMs an invaluable resource for travelers who can easily use local SIM profiles when abroad.
- Enhanced Security: eSIMs offer enhanced security features that make it more challenging for unauthorized users to tamper with or clone SIM cards. This added layer of protection safeguards your personal information and mobile account.
- Environmentally Friendly: By eliminating the need for physical SIM cards, eSIMs contribute to reducing plastic waste and the environmental footprint associated with their production and disposal. This aligns with the growing global emphasis on sustainable practices.
Disadvantages of Digital SIMs (eSIMs)
- Limited Adoption: While the adoption of eSIM technology is steadily growing, it is important to note that not all mobile carriers and devices support eSIMs. Users in regions where eSIMs are less commonly accepted may face challenges in utilizing this technology.
- Compatibility Issues: Some older devices do not support eSIM technology, limiting the accessibility of this feature to users with newer smartphones and other connected devices. As a result, widespread adoption may take some time.
- Carrier Lock-In: In certain cases, eSIMs can be locked to a specific carrier, making it difficult for users to switch to a different provider without significant effort. This limitation can potentially hinder user flexibility.
- Activation Challenges: Activating an eSIM can be more complex than swapping a physical SIM card, particularly for users who are less technologically inclined. This learning curve may deter some users from adopting eSIM technology.
In conclusion, digital SIMs, or eSIMs, represent a promising innovation in mobile technology, offering numerous advantages such as space efficiency, multi-carrier support, and enhanced security.
However, it's essential to consider that the adoption of eSIMs is still in progress, and not all devices and carriers fully support this technology. On the other hand, traditional SIM cards offer universal compatibility and user control, making them a reliable choice for many users all around the globe.

More and more brands have jumped on the IoT bandwagon. We have an excess of wearables – activity trackers, smartwatches, smart glasses and sneakers, and more that track seemingly endless datapoints. However, most consumers have no idea what “IoT” means. Creating more wearables that track data shouldn't be the aim of brands; delivering meaningful, tangible relevance to their users should be.
We're in a period in which the IoT pendulum is still swinging. Initially, it swung toward "smart for smar...

Link Part #TST185X (SKU: 221-4000)
The Link G4X range of engine management systems builds upon the previous G4+ ECUs by featuring an all new micro-processor, an upgraded communications chip and expanded data logging. These improvements allow for a more responsive and accurate tune, much faster download speeds and far greater internal data logging capacity.
The Link G4X range of engine management systems are well known for delivering class-leading performance without sacrificing factory levels of drivability. The G4X plug-in ECUs are designed to be the most complete plug-in solution yet.
This Toyota MR2 plug-in ECU will save you time and money as they will plug straight into your vehicle’s original wiring loom without the need for messy adapter harnesses. It replaces the original circuit board inside the factory ECU enclosure and mounts using the factory brackets. It is suitable for 3SGE powered SW20 (MR2 version 1) and the ST185 (in either naturally aspirated (NA) or turbocharged configurations) using a manual transmission as detailed below. Automatics are not supported.
- Toyota MR2 – SW20 1989-1992 models with 3SGE engine
- Toyota MR2 – SW20 1989-1992 models with 3SGTE engine
- Toyota Celica – ST185 1989-1993 models with 3SGE engine
- Toyota Celica – ST185 1989-1993 models with 3SGTE engine
This Link G4X plug-in ECU integrates fully with the factory car and will keep the factory dash working (water temperature gauge, fuel level light, air conditioning, etc) as it did with the factory ECU.
Once the installation is complete, the Link G4X allows a good tuner to achieve an optimal state of tune to get the most out of any combination of modifications.
All Link G4X plug-in ECUs come with a base map. While these maps are designed to help save time for you and your tuner, it is essential that these are used simply as a starting point for further tuning.
For naturally aspirated (N/A) versions the Link G4X plug-in enables the removal of the air flow meter (AFM), the engine can easily be converted to speed density by removing the air flow meter and instead using the factory MAP sensor and the intake air temperature sensor (Note: not all of the 3SGE engines have airflow meters)
Likewise, for turbocharged applications, the factory air flow meter is no longer required and can now use the factory MAP sensor (Up to 18psi, any more boost will require a replacement sensor, the one listed below is a direct plug in replacement but will require re-calibration).
This ECU can also be setup to control boost with an external boost solenoid. This eliminates the need to purchase a separate electronic boost control system.
The vehicle’s original sensors & actuators are used except for the following exceptions:
- MAP sensor -The factory MAP sensor is supported. This capable of measuring up to 1.24Bar (18psi) boost. If higher boost pressures are required then an aftermarket external MAP sensor may be used and connected to the factory MAP sensor wiring. The airflow meter is not required.
- Inlet Air Temp Sensor (IAT) – If the engine is a model with an airflow meter installed from factory it will have an IAT sensor fitted inside the air flow meter . While this factory IAT sensor is supported by the G4X plug-in ECU on naturally aspirated engines, the factory air flow meter would need to be kept in place to use the IAT sensor. For the engines that do not have an AFM, there will be a factory IAT that can also be used on naturally aspirated cars. For best results we recommend an alternative IAT sensor to be fitted to the intercooler pipe just prior to the plenum entrance (these are available from NZEFI). This may use the existing IAT wiring or connect to the expansion connector of the ECU.
- Boost control – The factory boost solenoid wiring on the MR2 and Celica turbo variants may be used, however an appropriate boost solenoid must be used (these are available from NZEFI).
- Injectors – The G4X plug in is designed to be used with high impedance injectors. Low impedance injectors may only be used with ballast resistors. Luckily, the MR2 and Celica models have low impedance injectors with a factory-fitted ballast system so no changes are necessary. DO NOT remove the factory fitted ballast resistors unless the injectors are changed to a high impedance type.
Extra sensor inputs
The expansion connector on the Link G4X board is provided to allow the easy connection of additional ECU inputs. The expansion connector provides the following:
- 5V Supply
- Sensor Ground
- 3 Analogue Inputs
- 3 Digital Inputs
- 4 Ignition Aux Outputs (Direct Spark Ignition Option)
These may be used for functions such as driver adjustable boost control, switchable fuel/ignition maps, wideband lambda input, external MAP sensor, fuel pressure and oil temp/pressure.
An ignition expansion is provided allowing you to convert to a Direct Spark ignition system. Alternatively these outputs can be used to drive auxiliary devices.
In addition to the ECU which can be purchased separately, we also offer the following packages:
Basic ECU Package:
Turbo ECU Package:
- Link TST185X ECU
- Link XS Loom
- IAT Sensor, Plug and Weld-on Boss
- High-precision Electronic Boost Control Solenoid
- Toggle Switch with Missile Cover
Please select the appropriate package from the drop down menu.
WARNING: Some models of ST185, particularly the ST185RC (Carlos Sainz Edition) do not use the ST185 ECU pinout. Instead the MR2Link V2-3 ECU must be used on this model. Please refer to the vehicles actual wiring and the pinout diagram in PC-Link, and the MR2Link V2-3 manual to determine which ECU should be used. Please contact us if you require any assistance in determining which model you require.
