By Jennifer Imming, PhD. I work with couples, who come to therapy due to relationship issues, as well as individuals who bring their problems with relationships to their sessions. One of the most difficult breaches in trust and with the most difficulty to repair is that of deception, whether that be an emotional affair, sexual affair, or some other form of one person presenting themselves in better light than they should. The definition of deception is to intentionally trick someone into believing something that is untrue. A lie. It sounds better to say “untrue” but it’s really lying.
People deceive all the time, and it’s up to each of us to decide for ourselves when a bit of deception is acceptable, and if distorting any truth to one’s partner is not. The scope of that discussion is too large for this brief article.
What I do want to address is what happens after the deception is found out. I have worked with many people who deceived another, and who truly wanted to do what it takes to mend their ways and heal their relationships. I’ve watched those people get help through therapy, end friendships that were a bad influence, make all the electronic devices that concealed the deceit open to their partner so all interactions are transparent. I’ve watched them grieve and feel the shame of their actions and the consequences of hurting someone they love so much. I’ve watched them become better people than they ever had been before. Even to become role models to those around them.
But, the deceived partner asks, how do I get past my hurt? Even after the deceiving partner has taken all the steps that anyone can conceive of taking to mend the relationship, the hurt doesn’t simply go away. There are “anniversary dates” of when breaches occurred, there are the little reminders of the deceit that sneak into daily living when one doesn’t even expect it — a reminder of the hurt that happened.
Again, now what? What does a person do after their partner has done everything possible to heal the damage done? This is where forgiveness comes in. Just as we have to forgive ourselves for the mistakes we have made, resulting from bad childhoods or parents who didn’t know how to teach us any differently than their own childhoods, we have to find the blanket-of-compassion, as I call it, to lay on top of all the hurts that cannot be undone. Not to shut them down, of course, not even to stop the grieving, as you have to allow this. But when nothing more can be done, and the reminder of the breach rears it’s head, I encourage people to dose it with forgiveness. I encourage the partner — when every reasonable action has been taken to heal the rupture to the relationship — to start the important act of forgiving their partner. And, please remember that, as we are seeing here, forgiveness is a verb. Something that isn’t a one-time act, but given over and over with each reminder that tries to rob the deceived partner of peace. Because, you see, forgiveness is not just for the partner who did the deceiving, forgiveness is for the person who was deceived. To regain that sense of calm, and peace in one’s life, forgiveness in a relationship becomes essential. It’s the ingredient that can seal the final cracks in one’s heart.
Here is wishing each of you the courage to heal and to ultimately forgive!

Chak De! India is definitely one of the best movies from Bollywood. The Shahrukh Khan-starrer film released in 2007, and though it wasn’t a typical B’wood film, it struck a chord with the audience.
Every scene was iconic and inspiring, isn’t it?
But how will you react if we say that the most important scene from the film was inspired from a 2004 American film, ‘Miracle’.
We are talking about the one of the most memorable scenes of the film where coach Kabir Khan asks the players to introduce themselves.
‘Iss team ko sirf voh players chahiye jo pehle India ke liye khel rahe hain.’
And now click the slide to compare it with the scene from ‘Miracle’…

Eliot Lewis was just 10 years old when he started rubbing elbows with legendary performers, thanks to a friend’s father who was a heavyweight in the music business. “Every week, he’d take us to see acts like the Who, Alice Cooper, and Elton John,” he recalled.
Earlier, though, the music of Glen Campbell prompted him to ask his mother – a classical pianist – for a guitar.
“My first real one was an Ibanez that was very close to a Fender, and my first amp was a tuck-and-roll Kustom. It sounded funky, but I then found a Sound City head and 4×12 cab that sounded close to a Hiwatt, which was okay with me since I loved Pete Townshend. Later, I became a fan of Hamer guitars, and owned many, including an eight-string bass.”
In the mid ’80s, singer/producer Dan Hartman hired Lewis to play on several projects including songs by Joe Cocker and Tina Turner. Not long after, he began writing with Average White Band bassist/vocalist Alan Gorrie.
“We had an excellent chemistry,” Lewis said. “I co-wrote several songs for their comeback record and became a member by default; from 1989 to 2001, I toured with them and helped record three albums and a DVD.”
1999 saw the release of his first solo albums, and early in the 21st century, he joined the band that backs Daryl Hall and John Oates, wherein he plays several instruments. In contrast, his solo material is guitar-focused.
“Until 2009, I was mainly using Gibsons – I do love Les Paul Juniors, and I have a Melody Maker,” he said. “Now, I’m mainly using Reverends; I stumbled on their Volcano while looking for a Flying V, and was very impressed with the playability, sound, and its bass contour, which re-voices low frequencies and gets into single-coil territory, sound-wise.” His go-to Reverend these days is a Tricky Gomez.
Lewis scored the gig on Hall’s Palladia network show, “Live from Daryl’s House,” by default, being a member of the Hall & Oates band, and says he is often left in awe of the artists who perform on the show.
His most recent solo release is a five-song EP titled Crusade, and another is slated for later in 2015. “Instead of a 10-to-12-song CD every year, I decided to do a five-song CD more frequently, as long as I have material.”
The disc’s instrumental, “Sonic Soldier,” has horn parts Lewis played on guitar. After a listen, it’s a bit surprising to learn… “It’s just one guitar. I know it’s common to double-track rhythm parts, but I almost always do them with one, then split the track into two sounds panned with different amp tones to the left and right, to make it a little bigger-sounding.”
Lewis says he’s pleased with his career track thus far.
“This is truly a great time for me,” he enthused. “I feel so fortunate to work with Daryl and John, their amazing band, to be a part of this cutting-edge show, and to have an outlet and freedom as a solo artist.”

Long distance relationships are certainly not as uncommon or unconventional as people may think. A lot of people can easily be familiar with concept of becoming in such a relationship as they generally feel that it can never work well. However , occasionally the facts inform us otherwise. 75% of all recently engaged lovers are currently within a long distance romance at some time. Although these stats do not necessarily indicate that you will not be able to maintain a good distance romance, it is important to identify that there are methods you can boost the odds you will be successful using a long distance marriage.
While it is not likely that your above quantity would improve, it is interesting to take a look at the reasons why these quantities are because they are. As mentioned before, one of the main reasons that numerous people are considering the concept of extended distance romances is because of the decreased social interaction that happens when two people live apart from the other person. A common belief is that many people feel a lot less close and connected when they live apart from each other. This is not true; however , having less social interconnection is one of the key reasons why the standard American is less inclined towards long distance relationships than their even more https://mybeautifulbride.net/russian-brides geographically close minded friends and family members.
The fact of the matter is that those whom are involved in this type of relationship are generally searching for interconnection and company that they cannot readily locate within their immediate community. For those that are not familiar with the term "long distance relationships", they are just those that are formed among people who live apart from the other person but remain close enough to regularly communicate. One of the most common factors behind long length relationships is usually an incapacity to meet new comers. For many people, that they choose to be extended range distance connections because they really want the ability to meet new comers that they connect with on a regular basis, but cannot at all times make it in return to their hometowns. In addition to the wish to meet new people, another huge interest for those who select this type of marriage is the fact they can still keep in touch with those best to these people.
One of the interesting aspects of lengthy distance romances is the fact that you have the opportunity to keep in touch with these closest to you via letters and phone calls. While many people prefer to get their deliver online or perhaps by mobile phone, it is possible to keep in contact with your friends and relations by means of characters and telephone calls, and this can be described as significant element in the very long distance relationship statistics relating to communicating with others. It is common intended for relationships to achieve difficulties when there is not a simple way for those inside the relationship to keep in touch also to be in touch with one another on a daily basis.
One more interesting element of long distance marriage statistics is that almost three-quarters of all relationships in the United States will end in divorce. While the reasons behind these splitting of marriages are different for a lot of relationships, a very important factor that is prevalent for all is the desire to be pleased with the marriage that a person is usually stuck with. When ever two people in long distance associations are not able to meet as often as they would want to, they are very likely to wonder what the point is even starting the relationship in the event that nothing is gonna happen. Because of this , there are so handful of long distance relationships that end in divorce.
The chance of long distance couples splitting up is more likely when one or equally partners do not have work stability or maybe a stable financial situation. When a boyfriend cannot associated with payments just for his house or this individual loses his job, this is a sign that his partner is unhappy with the marriage. Although it is certainly difficult to see through the sight of a pc display screen, many users know the moment their sweetheart has dropped his job by the period of time it takes to get him to get his things mutually and to go back home.

Fun, Friendly Hip Hop Dancing for Kids in Sydney
Are your kids interested in learning hip hop? Here at Dancekool, we offer lessons to suit children of all ages and abilities – whether they’re just starting out, wanting to try a new genre, or have been breaking, popping and locking for many years already!
We provide students with the option of private and group lessons, as well as courses that run for a number of weeks. As a hip hop studio that acknowledges the style’s street roots, our classes span a number of different styles – teaching a combination of traditional street moves, new style and jazz-funk.
When it comes to kids’ classes we select music that is age appropriate, ensuring the emphasis is on having fun and being at one with the music. Hip hop dancing for kids is a great hobby that allows children to express themselves, make friends and stay fit – all within a culture that’s less about strict conventions and more about individuality!
What are the main sub-genres of hip hop?
Just as hip hop culture is always changing, hip hop as a dance style is forever evolving. The music changes, and with it comes a new take on classic moves.
Early on, there were three main sub-genres of hip hop: breaking, locking and popping. Over time, different variations of these styles emerged and new moves were developed. Ever wondered how breaking, locking and popping differ? They’re all hip hop, yet they all have their own distinct characteristics! Below, we explain the three foundation styles of hip hop dance in greater detail…
Breaking (also referred to as ‘breakdancing’) emerged from NYC’s South Bronx in the 70s, and is considered the first-ever hip hop dance style – and for many, the founding style.
This dance style comprises four foundation moves: toprock, downrock, freezes and power moves. Breaking started out as toprock, which involves footwork-orientated dance moves performed while standing up. Toprock’s influencers are wide and varied, including tap dance, salsa, Afro-Cuban, and African and Native American dances. Today, toprock is still an important part of most breakdance routines and is often used at the beginning of a performance. From toprock, floor-orientated moves were introduced – which included downrock, freezes and power moves.
Traditionally, dancers perform in ciphers (a circular shape formed around the breakers by spectators), or Apache Lines (a line formation used when two crews are engaged in a dance battle).
Considered one of the ‘funk styles’ of hip hop (along with popping), locking originated in Los Angeles, California in the late 1960s and is therefore technically older than breaking. However, this style isn’t considered the ‘foundation’ of hip hop, because it didn’t evolve from hip hop culture. Rather, it was originally performed to funk music.
However in a similar way to breaking, locking evolved as dance crews were formed. Don “Campbellock” Campbell – who formed “The Lockers” in 1973 – is considered the founder of this dance style.
Locking is characterised by the dancer’s ‘locking’ movement (a brief freeze, before moving again). It’s believed that Campbell invented locking when pausing between dance moves by accident as he tried to remember the next step – and the craze took off from there!
Emerging from Fresno, California in the 1970s, popping is similar to locking.
This hip hop style is branded by the ‘popping’ technique which involves quickly contracting and relaxing muscles to create jerk in the dancer’s body. This move is referred to as a ‘pop’ or ‘hit’. Other dance styles that fall under the umbrella term of popping include liquid, tutting, waving, ticking, gliding, twisto-flex and sliding. One of the most well-known popping moves is the backslide, which gained popularity as the ‘moonwalk’ when performed by Michael Jackson.
Another funk style that is closely related to popping is boogaloo, which was foundered by The Electric Boogaloos dance crew. This crew is widely recognised as having a strong influence on the development of popping.
Hip hop enters the studio
As a dance style, hip hop varies considerably. Although the three main foundation styles are breaking, popping and locking, there are numerous different derivatives across the United States and around the world.
Here at Dancekool, we teach a wide range of styles originating from the American dance crews of the 1970s. With classes designed specifically for kids, we place an emphasis on having fun, making friends and simply learning to move with the music – after all, that’s what hip hop is all about!

Once voted European Capital of Culture, this city features a historic Victorian port and a thriving music scene that produced one of Britain’s biggest bands.
This northern English city was first put on the map for its port, one of the busiest in the world. Since then Liverpool has transformed into a magnificently diverse city with a thriving cultural scene. The city has retained parts of its Victorian heritage and is widely known for producing some of the most popular musicians to come out of Britain. A section of the city’s historic port became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2004 and Liverpool was also awarded European Capital of Culture in 2008.
Visit Albert Dock to explore the city’s cultural centre. Some of the biggest ships on the sea would dock at this historic site, now home to restaurants, bars and cultural attractions. Pick a waterfront restaurant and sit down to a plate of scouse, a traditional stew originating from Northern England. Discover this port’s historical significance at the Merseyside Maritime Museum. Spot one of the city’s most iconic buildings, the tall Royal Liver Building.
Liverpool was home to one of the biggest bands to come out of England, the Beatles. The city didn’t peak there, however, as it continues to offer a rich music scene to this day. Learn about the Beatle’s humble Liverpudlian beginnings at the Beatles Story or enjoy some live music at what was one of their local spots, the Liverpool Empire Theatre.
Locals of Liverpool are well known for being sports fanatics, with many residents loyally waving their team scarves during the cold winter months. See the Liverpool Football Club take on their opponents at the heritage Anfield Road Stadium, or check out the amateur talent at Sefton Park. This park is just one of the many leafy and picturesque green spaces scattered across the city.
Liverpool is well connected to the rest of the country and Europe by plane, train and bus. The city is also accessible in the old-fashioned style, by boat to Albert Dock.


According to a news story on Bloomberg, as reported on by BGR, Apple is set to launch a second-gen iPad mini with Retina display later this year. Bloomberg says that Apple will announce both the iPad mini and a new full-sized iPad towards the end of the year. According to BGR, the fifth-gen full-sized iPad will be completely redesigned, as well as much thinner, and will more closely resemble the iPad mini. Bloomberg does not have any firm date as to when Apple might release these two new iPads, but it does say that it will definitely not be during Appleâ€™s September 10 event, which will be dedicated solely to announcing the two new iPhones that Apple is about to release. Bloomberg says that Apple is looking to launch so many new products towards the end of the year in order to tempt consumers with a refreshed line of all of its best-selling products in time for the holiday shopping season.

- Deanna Giulietti is a lifestyle creator with 1.6 million followers on TikTok.
- In 2021, she made over $500,000 from brand partnerships across TikTok and Instagram.
- She broke down her earnings for Insider, as well as the benefits — and drawbacks — of brand deals.
Deanna Giulietti started posting on TikTok to escape the tough reality of the COVID-19 lockdown.
During the first wave of the pandemic in March 2020, Giulietti, who was 27 at the time, lost her job as a performer on a cruise ship. She was forced to move back in with her parents and work for her father's construction company.
"Everyone was doing dances on TikTok, and I thought, 'I can dance too, put me on TikTok,'" Giulietti told Insider.
Giulietti never approached content creation as a business. It was only when her current manager reached out to her in November 2020 that she realized how much money she could be making from social media.
"I knew nothing of this world," she said. "I didn't even know content creators had managers. I was just shooting in the dark."
At the time, she had about 250,000 TikTok followers, and in her first month attempting to score deals, she only got a couple contracts, she said.
Then, in January 2021, her profile exploded: She reached 1 million followers and began signing with several brands.
Since then, she's grown her presence on social media into a fully fledged business that she thinks of as "a TV show with a few commercial breaks here and there," she said.
These "commercial breaks" helped her secure a six-figure income in 2021.
She signs an average of 10 to 15 sponsored deals a month, depending on the time of the year, and last year she made $535,000 from brand deals alone, including $126,000 in November thanks to the holiday push. Insider verified this information with documentation she provided.
At first, most of the opportunities were on TikTok, where she now has 1.6 million followers. But once she linked her Instagram profile to her TikTok and began posting Reels, her following grew there, too. She now has 320,000 Instagram followers and posts sponsored content weekly on TikTok and Instagram.
Having a manager to help her secure brand deals was key in this process, Giulietti said.
Brand deals can be very lucrative for creators, but there are drawbacks
While a significant number of influencers rely on brand deals, there are a few downsides, including the lack of consistency from month to month.
While her income during October and November hit $98,000 and $126,000, respectively, she earned $23,200 in April and just over $15,000 in July.
Plus, the pay from brands can be delayed for months. Of the $535,000 that she signed for in 2021, only half had been paid out at the end of the calendar year.
Giulietti has several other income streams. She makes money from the Instagram Reels bonus program, which allows select creators to earn money from their views on Instagram Reels, and from the TikTok Creator Fund.
She also earns through affiliate links and from ads on her YouTube channel, which she launched in November 2020.
But those are not nearly as profitable, and Giulietti is happy to be partnering with some of her favorite brands.
"I get asked a lot from what are my dream brands to work with," she said. "And for me, it just never was something I even thought was possible. So I often think it's amazing, DSW wants to work with me, or Steve Madden. They all seem like dream brands to me."

What Are The Main Risks Associated With Any Investment?
Almost all investments involve some amount of risk. Set out below are some of the key risks of making an investment in a company or in Real Estate . This list is not exhaustive, and does not represent all the risks associated with, and considerations relevant to making an investment or your decision to make one.
The company in which you have invested or who you have invested with, may be adversely affected by delays in the construction and completion of its Real Estate Properties under development. You may lose some or all of your invested monies if the project fails.
It may be difficult for the company to assess the future performance of the Real Estate Properties which have a limited track record because they are still under development. There is no assurance that such properties will yield the expected returns.
The company may be reliant on contractors or sub-contractors to carry out its property development and failure by such contractors to perform their obligations may lead to a delay of completion of the project and unexpected costs.
Real Estate Sector Risks
The company may operate in a capital-intensive industry and expects to have significant funding needs for its existing business operations and new projects to grow its business. However, there is no assurance that the company will be able to obtain financing on terms that are commercially acceptable.

Experts are calling for President Joe Biden and his administration to appoint a task force led by a “reality czar” focused on dictating and mitigating the dissemination of certain types of information, and the New York Times is eating it up.
In an article published on Tuesday, one Times author made it his goal to seek out experts who could “help fix our truth-challenged information ecosystem” filled with “hoaxes, lies and collective delusions” created by people such as QAnon supporters, One America News watchers, and YouTube conspiracy theorists.
One of the solutions proposed by the professors and employees at anti-extremist activist organizations is for the Biden administration to take action following the deadly Jan. 6 mob riot at the U.S. Capitol to establish a “truth commission” to investigate the siege. Other experts, the author wrote, took it further, proposing that Biden and his team appoint a “reality czar,” a term that some pointed out is very similar to George Orwell’s Ministry of Truth, to oversee a committee on the quest for general truth instead of just focusing on the riot.
“Several experts I spoke with recommended that the Biden administration put together a cross-agency task force to tackle disinformation and domestic extremism, which would be led by something like a ‘reality czar,’” the New York Times author wrote. “It sounds a little dystopian, I’ll grant. But let’s hear them out.”
This ultimate-truth official who would work for the government, the author suggested, would be responsible for dictating and mitigating the spread of information in the United States and could engage with the ever-truth-wielding Silicon Valley giants such as Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Apple, and Google to implement new policies and evaluate which information should be disseminated.
“This task force could also meet regularly with tech platforms, and push for structural changes that could help those companies tackle their own extremism and misinformation problems,” the author suggested, completely ignoring the fact that these same Big Tech overlords already coordinated to censor and deplatform certain people, groups, and companies that they deemed “dangerous,” such as former President Donald Trump.
Involving these internet oligarchs in a government-led crackdown on “disinformation,” the author excitedly suggests, “could become the tip of the spear for the federal government’s response to the reality crisis.”
Collusion with Big Tech or the establishment of a government-controlled veritas, however, “could not bring back the millions of already radicalized Americans” by themselves, the Times writer warned. A federal intervention that spurs people to “community-based activities that could keep them engaged and occupied” and the creation of ads “targeting high-risk potential violent extremists with empathetic messages about mental health and mindfulness” might do the trick, though.
“Enact a ‘social stimulus,’ and fix people’s problems,” the Times subhead reads.

Rebecca Lynn Howard: “No Rules”
Rebecca Lynn Howard sounds like she probably wishes she was born forty years ago. It’s not that she sounds old– on the contrary, she sings with a voice of youthful vitality and feisty, energetic zeal. It’s not even that she sounds old-fashioned– her new record, No Rules, is an unmistakably modern production, slick in all the right places and loaded with bells and whistles. If anything, Howard and producer Michael A. Curtis have crafted a big, shiny monster of a modern-day soul/roots-rock record, one that covers more ground and sizzles with more raw, vital energy than just about any other record of its kind in 2008, even the excellent new country-rock platter from Kathleen Edwards. No, it’s neither the singer herself nor the production that makes her sound like a child of the late 60s or early 70s; it’s simply her record collection, which this album reveals to be a broad and eclectic assembly of rock, country, soul, funk, pop, and gospel. And even if the music didn’t tip you off, the liner notes would– Howard admits in them that this is her attempt at making an album that encompasses every side of her musical personality, and pays homage to all the influences and artists that made her who she is.
As it turns out, her impressive array of influences and musical interests is her greatest asset here– except, perhaps, for her killer voice– while her greatest shortcoming is the fact that, well, she really wasn‘t born three or four decades ago, even if he tastes happen to run two or three decades older than those of her peers. In other words, No Rules attempts to be an Americana tour de force, and sometimes it comes pretty close to succeeding based on its ambitions alone, but elsewhere Howard’s talents and years aren’t quite enough to make it work, and she comes across as a well-intentioned poseur more than anything else. Which isn’t to say that it’s a bad record at all, or an uneven one for that matter– No Rules is a consistently entertaining album, one that maintains its good-natured humor and high level of energy for the duration of its fourteen songs.
Actually, Howard’s good taste is so winning that the album’s best moments are its covers. The set opens with a blistering, swaggering, organ-drenched take on the soul classic “Shaky Ground,” and if Howard doesn’t quite have the grit or the experience to pull off the song’s biting anger, she’s still one heck of a funk singer, and her sheer passion for the song more than sells it. (Still, I’d love to hear someone like Bettye LaVette do this song!) Two tracks later, she does a bang-up job with “Do Right Woman- Do Right Man,” a vintage soul ballad and an impassioned plea for mutual respect. Finally, “We’re in This Love Together,” is a cheerfully sentimental R&B chestnut, performed as a duet with an uncredited male soul singer and performed with the kind of zeal that makes it an instant standout.
There are other great moments here– like the Stax/Volt horns on “New Twist on an Old Groove,” the gentle bluegrass ballad “The Life of a Dollar,” the driving rock of the scorching closing number, “Throw it Down”– but, curiously, it’s those three covers that illustrate not just her greatest strengths, but some of her greatest shortcomings. For one thing, she’s got a bit of a sentimental streak, which is putting it mildly, that leads to some awkward moments on a few of her originals, both musically and lyrically. Certainly one appreciates the sentiment of a song like “Soul Sisters,” which celebrates the common musical heritage of two otherwise different people, but it’s just a little too cheery for its own good. But the weakest songs here are the pop songs; apparently, Howard’s definition of pop if Celine Dion-styled ballads, and so a handful of cuts here are slowed-down, MOR yawners that sounds like unnecessary concessions to country radio, far too slick and schmaltzy to fit it on this otherwise stirring album. (Thankfully, Curtis never calls in the string section, but the effect if roughly the same.)
One could also complain that Howard is too good-natured even to bring herself to say the word “ass” on “New Twist on an Old Groove” (she sings the first phoneme and then lets it trail off into the ether), but at that point these criticisms become nitpicking. Howard is still a young artist, and if her youthfulness sometimes hinders her good intentions, it’s still more than enough to make this a winning, enjoyable album, one that impresses both with its ambition and its talent, and one that makes one eager to hear future releases from her when she gets just a tad more experience under her belt.

Meal replacement shakes have been around for far longer than we can imagine. Although they have been marketed to help with weight loss, there are still several people who have used these shakes, subscription period after subscription period but haven’t really found a solution that has stuck with them for longer than a few months.
Just like you weigh several pros and cons before making any huge lifestyle changes, you need to make similar decision with regard to choosing a food supplement.
For whom are meal replacement shakes more ideal for?
Everyone who is constantly on the go, have hectic schedules to take care of and get very little or no time to cook a wholesome meal or even to eat a proper meal- are the ones for whom a meal replacement shake is most well suited for. More often than not, you will also find these are generally the set of people who also tend to suffer from weighty issues and it all fits! If you are in the habit of skipping meals more than once, it will not only drive you to settle for junk food when hunger strikes but also throws your metabolism completely out of whack.
Why go for a meal replacement shake?
Compared to preparing a meal and eating it, a meal replacement shake only takes so long for preparation and you can consume it while on the go! Another reason to go for a meal replacement shake is the reason it will give you a controlled amount of calories per serving along with a bunch of vitamins, minerals and essential nutrients.
Which ones are worth trying?
Set your priorities right, check the label, check the ingredients and their source and check for the presence of any allergens. The role of a meal replacement shake is to help you keep satiated for long while fulfilling its duty of helping you receive all the nutrients that you should from a balanced diet.
The nutrition market is hustling with several products- some have been around for years and some are newly introduced. However, the best way to tell the best ones apart is by checking out the ingredients used. India being a country with carbs covering most staples, our diets tend to lack in good quality protein. This need for protein or its lack of, rather, is what must be taken care of. Go for the meal replacement shakes that provide high quality class-1 protein like whey as a primary source of protein than plant sources. Secondly, aim for a higher quantity of protein content in the product; Protein is one of the most important nutrient that the body needs to burn fat, tone body and improve hair and skin quality apart from keeping you healthy and happy in the long run.
And lastly, check for the presence of involvement of any ingredients that are used to fortify or add benefits to a product such as micronutrients (vitamins, minerals), healthy fat like omega 3 fatty acid and ayurvedic herbs that, along with the whey, help in improving your overall health and wellbeing.
When used in combination with natural foods, meal replacement shakes can be an effective tool for weight loss. Adding natural foods can ensure that the body gets the needed nutrients every day. It is important however, that dieters check the nutritional value of the shakes before they begin using them.

The Gendered Nature of Natural Disasters: The Impact of Catastrophic Events on the Gender Gap in Life Expectancy, 1981-2002
Annals of the American Association of Geographers, Vol. 97, No. 3, pp. 551-566, 2007
46 Pages Posted: 17 Jan 2006 Last revised: 15 Jun 2010
Date Written: January 1, 2007
Natural disasters do not affect people equally. In fact, a vulnerability approach to disasters would suggest that inequalities in exposure and sensitivity to risk as well as inequalities in access to resources, capabilities and opportunities systematically disadvantage certain groups of people, rendering them more vulnerable to the impact of natural disasters. In this article we address the specific vulnerability of girls and women with respect to mortality from natural disasters and their aftermath. Biological and physiological differences between the sexes are unlikely to explain large-scale gender differences in mortality rates. Social norms and role behavior provide some further explanation, but what is likely to matter most is the everyday socio-economic status of women. We analyze the effect of disaster strength and its interaction with the socio-economic status of women on the change in the gender gap in life expectancy in a sample of up to 141 countries over the period 1981 to 2002. We find, first, that natural disasters lower the life expectancy of women more than that of men. In other words, natural disasters (and their subsequent impact) on average kill more women than men or kill women at an earlier age than men. Since female life expectancy is generally higher than that of males, for most countries natural disasters narrow the gender gap in life expectancy. Second, the stronger the disaster (as approximated by the number of people killed relative to population size), the stronger this effect on the gender gap in life expectancy. That is, major calamities lead to more severe impacts on female life expectancy (relative to that of males) than smaller disasters. Third, the higher women's socio-economic status, the weaker this effect on the gender gap in life expectancy. In other words, taken together our results show that it is the socially constructed gender-specific vulnerability of females built into everyday socio-economic patterns that lead to the relatively higher female disaster mortality rates compared to men.

A team led by Stanford University researchers has developed a method for predicting response to cancer therapies based on cellular signaling protein dynamics and changes in tumor size.
Their research, which was detailed in a paper published last week in Science Translational Medicine, represents a step toward better tools for predicting the effects of targeted cancer drugs, and suggests that these effects can be modeled using a smaller number of parameters than generally thought, Dean Felsher, a Stanford oncologist and leader of the study, told ProteoMonitor.
So-called "oncogene-addicted" cancers show dramatic tumor regression after treatment targeting specific oncogenes like epidermal growth factor receptor, or EGFR. As such, the ability to predict the emergence of this "addiction" could prove key to developing and prescribing oncogene-targeted therapies.
A wide variety of factors including angiogenesis, immune system activity, and genetic mutation are likely involved in oncogene addiction. The Stanford team's aim, Felsher said, was to find a set of relatively simple criteria onto which this large number of inputs might converge.
The researchers used a transgenic mouse model of K-ras G12D-induced lung adenocarcinoma that is known to exhibit oncogene addiction. The model featured the tetracycline-regulatory ON system, which allowed Felsher's team to turn the K-ras G12D oncogene on and off by either adding or withdrawing doxycycline in the mice's drinking water.
Using serial weekly microcomputed tomography imaging after activation and inactivation of K-ras G12D, they measured the kinetics of tumor formation and regression in the mice in vivo. Via immunohistochemistry they also measured over time in tumor cells the phosphorylation states of five pro-survival signaling proteins – Erk1, Erk2, Akt1, Stat3, and Stat5 – and one pro-death protein, p38.
The researchers then built a model using ordinary differential equations that incorporated these survival and death signals along with the tumor formation and regression data. With that model they demonstrated that K-ras G12D oncogene addiction could be explained almost entirely by the balance between aggregate survival and death protein signaling. Applying the model to a different cancer – lymphoma driven by the oncogene MYC – they found it could be generalized to this cancer as well.
Given its simplicity, the power of the protein signaling-based model came as something of a surprise, Felsher said, noting that prior to the study, he had "assumed you'd have to incorporate six or seven other variables."
He noted that his group has described "many different mechanisms of oncogene addiction" over the last 10 or 15 years — including studies showing that the immune system, angiogenesis, and senescence are involved — "so we were actually surprised that we could use growth and survival signaling alone" to make predictions.
"It turns out that growth and survival signaling are so critical that if you have a very quantitative measurement you can make a prediction," Felsher said.
The study doesn't represent an optimized method, he added, noting that "a few years from now we'll probably publish a paper saying we've improved the method and now we can predict [oncogene addiction] even better using other techniques."
One such technique is a nanofluidic immunoassay Felsher's lab has developed for measuring low-abundance phosphoisoforms involved in cancer signaling (PM 10/15/2011). The assay uses ProteinSimple's Nanopro1000 instrument to separate tumor cell proteins based on change via isoelectric focusing and then uses antibodies to detect and quantitate them.
Thus far Felsher has used the platform to investigate protein signaling in several hundred specimens, he said, including work identifying phosphoisoforms changes linked to clinical response in chronic myelogenous leukemia patients being treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
"We're excited about that [platform], and we'd like to integrate both ideas – measuring proteins using highly sensitive technologies with the modeling that we published in this paper," he said.
While in the recent study the researchers were "able to make a pretty good model simply by measuring half a dozen proteins," Felsher said that it's unclear what the optimal amount of data for modeling oncogene addiction will be.
"I don't think we know exactly how much we need to know," he said. "Whether adding another 50 proteins will make it a more predictive model is hard to say. What seems to happen when you add in all that complexity is you start getting into a circumstance where it's easy to fit anything to anything – the overfitting issue."
Saying that he would "certainly be very eager to interact with pharmaceutical companies" to apply the modeling approach to drug development, Felsher noted that he has presented the work to pharma firms as part of basic research talks, but that the researchers are not currently collaborating with any industry players.
Moving forward, he said, they hope to do a small clinical study to validate the approach. "The experiment we did wasn't a clinical study, so we can't say for sure that this will help people, but we think we have enough preliminary data that we should test the model [clinically]."
Felsher added that an advantage of the model is that is can be put into clinical study with currently available imaging techniques. In collaboration with Stanford researcher David Paik, a senior co-author on the Science Translational Medicine paper, his team is also looking to incorporate new imaging methods in its work. In particular, they are interested in using position emission tomography for their measurements, given that such an approach could potentially provide data on both tumor size and protein signaling.
"Because PET is already available in the clinic, it makes sense that if we incorporate a PET-based approach [the model] could be even more useful," he said. "So we're looking at, for example, new ways of making PET-based measurements of in vivo signaling."
Thus far the modeling work has focused primarily on lung cancer and lymphoma, Felsher said. He noted that the fact that these are two very different kinds of cancers is encouraging for the method's broader applicability.

It's been awfully quiet on the Jimmy Savile front lately, and now we know why.
Apparently, Scotland Yard is sitting on top of a whole shitpile of elite pedos, and recently announced its new strategy would be to use "civil protection orders" against these suspects, which in effect, would name them and restrict their activities but would be short of criminal prosecution.
The result has been that the chief investigator on the case suddenly resigned instead of going along with the plan, thus suddenly calling attention to this mess once again.

A Russian human rights activist is being charged with violating Russia's controversial "anti-LGBT propaganda" law after sharing links on Facebook, Amnesty International said on Tuesday.
Evdokia Romanova is based in Samara, one of Russia's largest cities, where she works as a staff member for LGBT rights organization Samara Regional Public LGBT Movement, also known as "Avers."
According to Amnesty, Romanova was asked to report to her local police station on July 26, where she thought she would be serving as a witness for another case. Instead, she was charged with allegedly violating Russia's 2014 law, which bans "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relationships to minors."
As evidence, the Russian prosecutors have pointed to links posted on both her Facebook page and her page on VKontakte, a Russian social media site. Among the supposedly incriminating works were a link to the website for the Youth Coalition for Sexual Reproductive Rights, of which she is a member, and stories from The Guardian and BuzzFeed News. Among the BuzzFeed News articles cited is a post from 2015 on a photo exhibit of Russian LGBT youth hosted in Saint Petersburg.
"It was very shocking," Romanova told BuzzFeed News via email about the surprise charges. "I did not expect anything like this to happen to me. I ... immediately rejected giving any witness testimony and called my lawyer."
When asked why she was singled out, Romanova speculated that it was possibly because "international human rights work is not very common in the city where I am coming from due to a high level of homophobia, everything that is unclear to them seems incriminating."
"I am not even sure [the] people who have charged me understood the content of the posts I've shared," she said, noting that they were translated using Google Translate and that the results weren't great.
Romanova will stand trial on Sept. 18. If convicted, she will face a potential fine of up to 100,000 rubles ($1,750).

At first blush, it may seem that a state appellate court erred the other day when it ruled that people working off their welfare checks in New York City could be paid less than regular city employees even though they performed similar jobs.
It was a persuasive decision, though, and not just because it was unanimous or because the court said the law upon which the suit was founded had since been repealed.
New York City's Work Experience Program requires most clients to work off their welfare checks. These workers help city government do a better job amid large, diverse public demands. The work provides valuable experience to welfare clients. It's experience that can be utilized in future employment. The work program deters fraud. It saves the public some expense for the municipal services performed.
Recipients of the welfare checks do not work for free. State law requires that they receive the minimum wage, now $5.15 an hour.
There must be safeguards in New York City -- or any other government -- to prevent the displacement of regular public employees with those on workfare.
But New York law and public policy ought to encourage people on welfare who are able to work off their checks. They and the taxpayers benefit, and the different hours, qualifications and experience of these temporary workers justify pay scales less than those of full-time public employees.


On this day, 2 August 1975: Lindy
Pick of the pops! Lindy mixed comic strips with music glamour - a slightly odd mix that possibly didn’t quite find its market, as it folded into Jinty after less than five months.
Hard Days for Hilda (written by Terence Magee and drawn by Dudley Wynne) and Pavement Patsy (drawn by Miguel Quesada) were two of the regular comic serials.
The Osmonds and the Bay City Rollers seemed to feature in virtually every issue too, along with David Essex.

Here are the lists of the best dressed at the 2013 SAG Awards! Black and white gowns grabbed attention against the red carpet at the 2013 SAG Awards held in Los Angeles (January 27). It seemed that the trend was taking the high street by monochrome trademark.
Just take a look at Anne Hathaway’s gown. The actress who got the award for Best Supporting Actress looked gorgeous in a Giambattista Valli gown. Anne picked a gothic gown featured layers of diaphanous black detail over a shorter skirt. Then, Michelle Dockery went to the event in elegant look as she dolled up a Chado Ralph Rucci gown. Meanwhile Clea Duvall looked stunning in a Gomez-gracia gown. Dressing up to impress, Jamie Alexander donned a Marc Bouwer frock.
There were also Claire Danes who dolled up in Givenchy with variations on the monochrome theme. The star Julianna Margulies opted for a Chado Ralph Rucci dress and January Jones looked adorable in Prabal Gurung. However the others celebrities also tried to steal the show in more colorful gowns. From the daring red gowns, blue theme, and then sequined gowns lighted up the red carpet style.

It looks like Gabriel Union‘s dream of becoming a mother has finally come true.
Thursday afternoon the 46-year-old stunned fans by posting pictures of herself, husband Dwyane Wade and their new baby girl onto her social media account!
“A LOVELY DAY” the new mother declared on Instagram. “We are sleepless and delirious but so excited to share that our miracle baby arrived last night via surrogate and 11/7 will forever be etched in our hearts as the most loveliest of all the lovely days. Welcome to the party sweet girl! #onelastdance #skintoskin@dwyanewade ❤”
The actress has previously opened up about the pain she’s endured during her attempts to have a child. In her book, We’re Going to Need More Wine, she confessed that she had suffered from a severe case of baby lust, but had so many miscarriages that she actually lost count.
“In order to tell you the exact number, I would have to get my medical records,” she told People magazine back in 2017, guessing the number was eight or nine.
“For three years, my body has been a prisoner of trying to get pregnant — either about to go into an IVF cycle, in the middle of an IVF cycle, or coming out of an IVF cycle. I have endured eight failed IVF cycles … For as long as I can remember now, Dwyane and I have lived in a state of extended expectation.”
Studies show that a 40-year-old woman treated for infertility only has a 25 percent chance of getting pregnant using her own eggs. By age 43 that number dropped to 10 percent, and by 44 it had gone down to just to 1.6 percent. But fans have always been supportive when the star has spoken about her fertility journey, and she explained that her baby was lovingly carried by a surrogate.
Congrats to the new mom and dad who are already being showered with love on social media.

It might be a game to you dear, but to me it is an essential part of life.
Man caves across the land are equipped with some of the finest gaming gear around. From nostalgic 80’s arcade games like Pacman or Space Invaders to more traditional games like Foosball and Pool. It is these sort of man cave table games that raise your man space up to the highest standards and keep your guests entertained, competitive and wanting to come back for more. But choose wisely. It is easy to get this wrong by going too cheap. If your Foosball table slides around the floor when a player twists an arm too quickly, your game is too light and liable to fall apart. If your pool table has bumps on the surface the size of Kilimanjaro then your base is made of cheap MDF and will warp and bend over time. Whilst you do not need to spend thousands of well earned coin on a central table top game, do not spend too cheaply or you will pay for your error with an uninspiring, and ultimately empty man cave devoid of competitors.
Man cave table games can earn you many beers provided you learn to master them.
What is especially important with your man cave table games is that you learn to master them. Make sure that you are the man cave king when it comes to the games you offer. This is important because a) it will help you get back some of the money you have spent on your man cave by betting with your friends and then demolishing them with your skill and, b) it allows you to compete for, and win, more beer.
Our budget pool table pick
If you have room in your man cave then one of the most crucial man cave table games to include in your space is a pool table. There are many to choose from but if you are looking for a budget option that still has good play ability then you cannot go wrong with the Hatherway Fairmount 6 footer. Not quite full size and does use an MDF table top, albeit a sturdy one that will not warp over time. The table has adjustable feet so that you can level the surface to prevent your ball bending like a banana every time you hit it. All in all, this is a good table for practising your skills on as you progress towards the crowning glory of Man Cave Pool Champion.
Dimensions: 76L x 43.25W x 32H inches and includes all you need to play pool. The table folds up for easy storage and portability so it can easily be moved to make space for watching the big game. This portable pool table set includes a full set of billiard balls, two pool cues, two pieces of cue chalk, a table brush, a triangle rack, and a polyester bag.
Our recommended pool table pick
Bring modern style and awesome billiards action into your home with the Fat Cat 7 ft. Tucson Billiard Table. This affordable, highly playable table boasts a cool black and blue theme with a futuristic profile that looks great in any man cave. It’s got hard MDF play surface covered in blue polyester cloth, rubber bumpers around the edges, and a drop pockets with a handy ball retrieval system. Sitting upon for curved legs with braces for added stability, it’s the perfect addition to your man cave table games collection.
Simply attach the heavy duty arcade style legs to the table’s base and you’re ready to play. Rubber bumpers make the hardest of bank shots a possibility. Equipped with a side ball return system, the Fat Cat Tucson collects and stores your billiard balls.
Arcade-style legs provide the Tucson with aesthetics of modern design while the adjustable leg levelers accommodate for uneven floor surfaces by allowing you to fine-tune the height of each leg, increasing the table’s stability.
The Tucson’s surface bed includes a protective moisture-resistant membrane beneath the low-friction sapphire-toned polyester cloth. The vibrant sapphire hue makes a bold statement and compliments the table’s sleek black rails.
The Tucson’s play package includes 2 pieces of performance chalk, 1 resin triangle, 2, 57 inch two-piece hardwood cues, and 1 set of 2-1/4 inch billiard balls.
Eighteen frost-toned circle sights are systematically located on the table’s rails, allowing players to align their perfect shot. Their frost-white tone pairs well with the table’s midnight black rails and arcade style legs. Rubber Bumpers keep the billiard balls’ momentum powerful and are engineered to absorb minimal energy when struck by player’s banked shots, allowing for greater precision. As we know, man cave table games that lack precision are not worthy of being called a man cave game.
Our budget Foosball table pick
The Sport Squad FX40 Foosball Table is a great addition to any man cave. This compact tabletop version offers the excitement of fast-action competitive play similar to regulation sized tables so if you master this, then becoming man cave champion on any other table should be a sinch. With chrome plated steel rods and ergonomic rubber handles designed to fit comfortably in your hand, playing for long periods should not be a problem (as long as the wife allows it). The playing field is made of MDF rather than particle board or plastic with strong L-shaped legs designed to endure hours of rigorous game play. The legs have an added bonus of non marking rubber pads to prevent scratches on your floors, tabletops, or other furniture.
Durable plastic players have been strategically moulded to improve accuracy when passing and shooting. The FX40 also features a 3-man goalie design to work around those tough corner shots. Slidable scoring systems on each end help players keep track of who is winning the game and the goal boxes are designed to easily and automatically return the ball. Includes two soccer foosballs.

More people today admit to having a friend with benefits over a boyfriend or girlfriend.
In the days of Tinder and Bumble, singles are opting for casual sex over a traditional relationship, says a new survey.
DrEd asked 1,000 Europeans and Americans about the pros and cons of a friend with benefits, and how satisfied they feel compared to being in a relationship.
Here’s what they found:
Women are more likely than men to have a friend with benefits, or a FWB. (This term is used to describe two people who have a sexual arrangement on the side of an otherwise platonic friendship.)
More people are more sexually satisfied with a FWB over a relationship.
Americans are more sexually satisfied through a FWB than a traditional relationship.
Fifty-two percent of men become emotionally attached, compared to 44 percent of women in a FWB. Who knew?
More than half of those surveyed (57 percent) admitted to having a FWB.
Over half of American men and women were sexually satisfied in a FWB relationship. “In fact, Americans were far more likely to feel sexually satisfied in a no-strings-attached sexual friendship, with 51 percent reporting being completely satisfied, compared to 42 percent of Europeans who reported the same,” says the study.
Only 34 percent of Europeans thought a friendship with benefits was more convenient than a relationship, compared to the 58 percent of Americans.
Those surveyed described a FWB as “a place to experiment in the bedroom, explore sexual fantasies, talk about safe sex, and cuddle.” Over 40 percent also talked about family, friends, and their jobs. And at least a quarter of respondents said they went out on dates or occasionally grabbed dinner.
Women were more than twice as likely as men to say it was just about sex. When asked if the sex felt romantic, 45 percent of women and 52 percent of men said yes, despite only 33 percent of women and 32 percent of men going into the arrangement looking for a romantic relationship.

- 4 Seasons
Solitary was a reality show that debuted in 2006 on Fox Reality. The show was created by Andrew Golder and Michael Hughes and was directed by Leora Glass. The show had a unique concept and format, and it quickly became a hit among reality TV enthusiasts. The show was set in a futuristic facility, where contestants were subjected to extreme physical and mental challenges to win a cash prize. The contestants were isolated in single-person pods and had no contact with the outside world. They were subjected to various forms of psychological torture, including sleep deprivation, sensory deprivation, and constant scrutiny by the show's AI, named Val.
The contestants were tasked with completing a series of tasks, which were designed to test their endurance, mental agility, and willpower. Each task had a set time limit, and if the contestants failed to complete it, they were eliminated from the show. The tasks ranged from physical challenges like running on a treadmill for hours to mental challenges like memorizing long sequences of numbers or solving complex puzzles.
Throughout the show, the contestants were monitored by a team of psychologists who studied their behavior and reactions to the challenges. The show's host, Keri Tombazian, would also give updates on each contestant's mental and physical state, as well as their progress in the challenges.
The contestants were not allowed any form of entertainment or distractions, and they could not communicate with each other. They were only allowed basic necessities like food and water, and they had to earn these by completing challenges or through other means.
The show's AI, Val, was programmed to make life as difficult as possible for the contestants. Val would constantly monitor the contestants and offer criticism or encouragement, depending on their performance. Val would also keep track of each contestant's vital signs and analyze their behavior to determine their strengths and weaknesses.
Over the course of the show, the contestants would face various twists and turns, which would further test their mental and physical strength. Some contestants would quit the show due to the extreme stress and pressure of the challenges, while others would be eliminated for failing to complete a task within the time limit.
Solitary ran for four seasons from 2006-2010, and it was considered a groundbreaking show in the reality TV genre. The show's unique format and extreme challenges made it a hit among viewers, and it also received critical acclaim.
Overall, Solitary was a fascinating show that pushed the limits of reality TV. It was a test of endurance and willpower, and it showed how far people would go to win a cash prize. The show's AI, Val, added a new level of complexity to the challenges, and it was intriguing to see how the contestants would react to its constant monitoring and criticism.

Hopefully, you spend a little bit of time eager about the place your new beehives will sit. However, even when you suppose you might have discovered the right spot – chances are high you’ll face transferring bees sooner or later. Figuring out the way to transfer a beehive the right method is a crucial ability for beekeepers. Whether or not that you must relocate a hive resulting from private causes or for the nice of the colony, there are some suggestions that you must know first.
Beehives don’t take up quite a lot of bodily area – you may set down a number of in a small lot. Nevertheless, a very good or unhealthy location could make a giant distinction within the well being of your bees and the trouble required to take care of them. That is why bee yard arrange is a crucial activity.
Why Shifting a Beehive Is a Large Deal
New beekeepers are at all times cautioned concerning the points that may come up with bee relocation. A few of these cautionary tales could seem a bit excessive.
No, you received’t needed kill your hive when you transfer it improperly. Nevertheless, you may critically damage the colony and unfastened some essential subject bees or foragers.
However, there are occasions when there may be simply no different choice and the duty should be finished. Hopefully, it won’t be an emergency and you’ll at the least have just a few days to plan.
The Honey Bee Thoughts Map
So, why is transferring the bee bins a difficulty? It has do to with the best way honey bees are capable of finding their method house – utilizing a sort of GPS.
We all know that honey bees navigate utilizing the placement of the solar. (They will do it even when it’s cloudy? How cool is that?).
The magnetic fields of the earth additionally play a task in bee navigation. And now, we’re studying that bees use landmarks to type “thoughts maps”.
The easy truth is that wholesome bees know the place the hive is. Fascinating! However there’s a down-side to the navigation expertise of the honey bee.
It’s a tremendous system, however in nature bees don’t usually have their house moved whereas they’re away. Once we do this – it causes issues.
If the beekeeper strikes the hive what we’d think about a brief distance away – among the bees have bother discovering the hive.
Even these contained in the hive could fly out and away and fail to reorient to the brand new location.
Steps for Shifting Your Hive
After rounding up a few robust associates, your hive will be relocated to a brand new spot utilizing the following tips.
- Plan to transfer the hive late within the day – simply at nightfall is greatest – ready for the final stragglers. Now, the foragers are again contained in the colony. You’ll not be dropping bees which might be out within the subject.
Bees don’t typically fly at evening. However don’t let your beekeeping good friend “goad you” into being the one holding the flashlight.
- Shut up the entrance of the beehive entrance with a mesh, display screen wire or some sort of breathable materials. Disturbed bees will crawl out of the entrance of the hive and sting.
Particularly throughout summer season, honey bees can overheat contained in the colony-even at evening. You do not need to reach on the new location with a field of useless bees.
- Safe the hive with some sort of strapping. Don’t rely on propolis or bee glue holding it collectively. Having hive components come unstacked throughout transport doesn’t make the bees completely happy.
- Elevate the secured field into the again of a truck or automotive and journey to the brand new (or short-term location). Be light with the bees – particularly if transferring in chilly climate.
- On the new location – unload the hive and set it on a hive stand or comparable base. Place some limbs or partial obstructions in entrance of the hive entrance. This helps them type a brand new thoughts map.
- Gently take away the doorway closure (display screen and so on) and stroll away. Depart the bees alone for just a few days to regulate and relax.
Relocating a Beehive to a Close by Spot
If that you must transfer your beehive a really quick distance, you must have few issues. A few ft (2-3 ft ) to the left, proper, again or ahead is just not a giant deal.
Returning foragers could expertise a little bit of confusion. However, they may use their sense of odor to seek out their sisters close by.
As extra of them discover their method house – they may fan on the hive entrance (releasing pheromones)- to assist others discover the best way to the doorway.
Due to the best way bees find their house, transferring hives a number of ft (greater than 4 – 5 ft) to the correct or left can lead to extra bee confusion.
Even that quick distance may cause some drifting of bees different close by colonies. They could turn out to be “misplaced” and hold returning to the unique location. Nevertheless, this downside typically resolves itself inside an hour or so.
This case also can happen when relocating captured swarms a brief distance. A small proportion of the bees stored going again to the swarm entice space! It’s maddening.. LOL
Forcing Bees to Reorient
Anytime that you just transfer a colony of bees to a close-by location, place some small tree limbs or branches in entrance of the hive for just a few days.
Foraging bees leaving the hive discover the change and “hopefully” re-orient to the brand new hive location. This has labored very properly for me for brief strikes. It’s not at all times 100% profitable.
Some could also be unable to seek out their house and perish however it does assist scale back the variety of misplaced and confused bees.
This identical technique can assist whenever you seize a swarm close to the bee yard and place it in a hive.
Once more, assist in serving to the bees reorient by putting an impediment in entrance of the doorway. This may very well be a leafy department or comparable. It’s short-term and solely there to make the bees suppose – “hey one thing is completely different right here”.
Shifting Hives a Lengthy Distance
Surprisingly, transferring bees a farther distance is definitely the best factor to do. That is why so many consultants advocate to maneuver the hive a few miles away after which again to the placement you want.
This noticeable change of location forces the honey bee “thoughts map” to reset. First, the bees reorient to the brand new hive location (maybe at a associates home) and benefit from the sources there for just a few days.
Then, when then are returned – they once more reset to the brand new hive location at your property. This may increasingly look like quite a lot of confusion however bee colonies are very adaptable.
It’s believed this double reset is just not as disturbing as dropping foragers. Nevertheless, not everybody has the time or property obtainable to do that.
Mid-Distance Hive Relocation
Essentially the most widespread mistake beekeepers make includes transferring a colony greater than a brief distance however not too far method.
As superb because it sounds, transferring a beehive an intermittent distance will be tougher than lengthy distance relocation.
Let’s say, that you must relocate your bees to a spot 50 ft away? You wouldn’t have the chance to take them miles away and convey them again. On this case, the easiest way to maneuver them with out bee loss is to take action very slowly.
Transfer your hive in small increments (2 ft at a time) as soon as per week till you attain your vacation spot. I do know that is time consuming however it’s a method to keep away from misplaced bees.
I had a beekeeping good friend who did this by putting his hive on an previous play wagon – I’d advocate a sturdy backyard cart or a small trailer.
Every week he pulled the hive just a little farther alongside its vacation spot. It seemed humorous however it labored! If you don’t want to implement the “wagon plan”, it’s best to relocate the colony by transferring it far-off after which bringing the bees again house.
Methods to Transport Bees When Relocating
Beehives are heavy and tough to carry. Shifting full sized honey producing colonies by hand is just not one thing you wish to do alone. It’s a good time to enlist some robust associates.
Bodily lifting the hives is one a part of the method when transferring a beehive. However truthfully, that’s the simple half. Coping with the dwelling occupants inside – properly, that’s one other matter.
A useful useful resource to have is a hive transferring internet. I used one for years when capturing swarms or transporting package deal bees house (they at all times had just a few unfastened bees hitching a journey.) It is useful when you transport bees contained in the automotive!
A attribute of honey bees that at all times amazed me was the tendency of the bees to remain within the hive whereas transferring.
So long as my hive sits on the again of the truck or rack of the ATV with the motor operating, the bees keep inside. However, you don’t wish to flip off the motor till you’re able to take care of the bees.
In fact, most beekeepers who transfer a beehive wouldn’t have nets. That’s okay. However, you do must safe the hive elements along with ratchet straps or comparable. The very last thing that you must occur is hive tops or backside boards coming off throughout transport.
And, most beekeepers will wish to shut the doorway of the hive-but not air-tight. This may be completed with nearly something: crumpled newspaper, gray packing foam (typically present in digital bins), a rolled strip of screened wire. Use just a little duct tape to carry it in if you want.
When transferring hives throughout scorching climate, we’d like to concentrate on the necessity for beehive air flow.
In scorching climate a colony can overheat in a short while. On this state of affairs, folded display screen or a bought transferring display screen is the best choice to shut the hive entrance.
It ought to come as no shock that transferring bins with 1000’s of stinging bugs does pose a little bit of a danger. The very best factor to do is to shut up the hive entrance (when potential) with display screen or some barrier to maintain bees inside.
Additionally, make sure you put on your beekeeping gloves and different protecting put on. Keep away from stinging conditions with correct planning. If the hive is being place behind a pickup – ensure that it’s tied down and won’t slide out!
Keep away from Shifting Beehives When Potential
Nevertheless, conditions change and beekeepers discover themselves needing to maneuver bees at occasions. Maybe, you want to maneuver your hives since you are transferring to a brand new house.
Or, perhaps you’re having an issue with a bear visiting your apiary and your hives are in peril. Sure, an electrical fence for bears may assist however it’s exhausting to begin a decided skilled bear.
One more reason for transferring bees is that you just simply want one in all them (or a couple of) was in a unique spot. With correct timing and planning, you may transfer you beehive to a brand new spot with out an excessive amount of stress.
Beehives will be moved nearly anytime of the yr. That is why business beekeepers are in a position to transport 1000’s of hives for crop pollination.
The very best time of day to maneuver a beehive is after darkish. A lot of the foragers may have returned to the hive and the temperatures are cooler.
Winter is just not a nasty time to maneuver a colony. On chilly days, the bees are clustered inside. Shut the doorway and strap the hive components collectively earlier than transferring.
Don’t deal with the hive roughly simply since you suppose the bees received’t reply. Tough dealing with may cause the cluster to interrupt aside leading to bee deaths. Maybe, even your queen bee !
It’s not needed to shut up the hive entrance for a number of days after relocation of a hive.
However, some beekeepers select to take action and it ought to do no hurt if temperatures will not be scorching, the hive has good air flow and meals sources inside.
Maintaining bees with success is determined by creating an understanding of bee life. Failure to take action hurts the bees and the beekeeper. Bee hive relocation requires some thought and planning-when you hope to keep away from dropping quite a lot of bees.
