Space fans and photo nerds will have a great chance to create a memorable photograph this Friday as the shuttle Endeavour glides into Los Angeles. The retired orbiter made 25 trips into space, and Friday will mark its final day in the air. It is expected to enter L.A. airspace at about 11:30 a.m. and is expected to land at LAX by 12:45p.m., weather permitting.
Check our Twitter or the KPCC homepage for updates.
Here at KPCC we’d like to see your photos of the Endeavour when it soars over Los Angeles and lands at LAX. Check out our photo recommendations below and send in your images to email@example.com or use the hashtag #KPCCShuttle on Twitter or Instagram and we’ll find it.
Gear: The Endeavour flight will be a once-in-a-lifetime photo op, so you’ll want to bring out your pro-camera gear to capture the historic moment. The shuttle will be piggybacked onto NASA’s modified 747 and flying at around 1,500 feet when it reaches Los Angeles. At that height, your iPhone just won’t cut it; you’ll be able to capture a little space shuttle speck, but that’s about it.

Magnesium Chelate has magnesium bisglycinate as constituent part. This is a chelated form of magnesium and the amino acid glycine. The presence of glycine has a buffering effect on chelated magnesium, which improves the solubility of the entire compound, improves the absorption of the magnesium in the intestine and, therefore, improves its bioavailability.
Magnesium bisglycinate is obtained from the union of the mineral to two molecules of the amino acid glycine, through a chelated bond, being one of the most bioavailable and absorbable forms of magnesium, and the one that can cause the least gastrointestinal problems, such as the effect laxative or the induction of diarrhea produced by Magnesium Citrate. This amino acid is itself a neurotransmitter with some anxiolytic properties, enhancing the relaxing effect of magnesium itself. It is probably the safest option to correct a mineral deficiency in the long term.
Each Magnesium Chelate softgel from Pharmatech® contains 200 mg of magnesium.
Pharmatech®‘s Magnesium Chelate serves as the best source of Magnesium due to its high bioavailability, greater absorption and its presentation in soft capsules that are easy to swallow, tasteless and its content disintegrates and dissolves easily.
The chemical element Magnesium (Mg) ranks fourth among the most abundant minerals in the human body. It is involved in more than 300 metabolic reactions essential for human health, such as energy production, regulation of blood pressure, transmission of nerve signals, and muscle contraction. It helps the synthesis of proteins and contributes to the maintenance of good health of bones and teeth.
WHAT IS MAGNESIUM CHELATE FROM PHARMATECH® FOR?
Magnesium deficiency in the body is generally evidenced by any of these symptoms: tiredness or fatigue, headache, sleep problems, mood swings, weakness, cramps, low potassium, nervous system irritability, irregular heartbeat of the heart, among others. These symptoms do not appear immediately and do not occur all at once.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF TAKING MAGNESIUM CHELATE FROM PHARMATECH®?
Magnesium is an essential nutrient and plays an important role in our body by participating in the enzymatic processes that regulate various biochemical reactions.
Benefits and functions of Magnesium:
Production of energy and strengthens the Immune System.
Synthesis of proteins and genetic material (DNA and RNA).
Control of blood glucose. Lowers the risk of diabetes.
Regulation of blood pressure and lipid profile. Improves heart health.
Helps maintain electrolyte balance.
Development and health of the bones.
It helps in the metabolism of calcium, preventing it from accumulating.
It takes part in the transmission of the nervous impulse and in the muscular relaxation. Decreases cramps and improves sleep.
WHAT IS THE DOSE OF MAGNESIUM CHELATE FROM PHARMATECH®?
It is recommended to take 200 to 400 mg a day (1 to 2 Softgels), preferably before bedtime.
The daily requirement of Magnesium in people four years and older is 420 mg per day, of which about half is provided by food, which has sometimes been fortified with magnesium. For this reason, the additional intake of magnesium is often recommended in the form of dietary supplements.
The most important reservoir of magnesium is in our bones (60% of total body magnesium), the rest is in skeletal muscle and soft tissues (40%). The magnesium content of bones decreases with age, and the magnesium thus stored is not completely bioavailable during magnesium deprivation. For this reason, we must include magnesium intake regularly to prevent magnesium deficiency.
There are many Magnesium formulations available in the market, however, it is useful to know its origin, composition, and dosage form. Within the varieties of Magnesium we find chelates or products in the form of Carbonates, Oxide, Sulfate, Citrate, among others. In addition, there are aminochelates that are the union of the mineral with an amino acid, these chelates have excellent bioavailability.
Bioavailability is the amount of Magnesium that the body assimilates and exerts the desired effect.
For a magnesium-based food supplement to perform its function, it must:
Comply with the declared amount of Magnesium.
Its formulation must have a high bioavailability (Aminochelate).
It must be well absorbed by the intestine.
Easy to swallow (Soft capsules)

The Thirteen American Arguments: Enduring Debates That Define and Inspire Our Country
by Howard Fineman
Random House, 320 pp.
Americans love to argue. In fact, we would not be Americans if we didn’t.
So says journalist Howard Fineman in his new book, The Thirteen American Arguments: Enduring Debates that Define and Inspire Our Country. Arguing, Fineman says, is what we do and who we are. “We are the arguing country, born in and born to debate,” he writes. “We are an endless argument.”
Fineman is Newsweekâ€™s senior Washington correspondent and columnist, and heâ€™s a news analyst for NBC and MSNBC. By his own description, he has covered every presidential campaign and major candidate since 1983.
In The Thirteen American Arguments, Fineman taps into his decades of experience to find perspective on the American experiment. He looks not at petty partisan bickering and political posturing but rather at the larger, fundamental questions Americans have wrestled over since the country’s founding.
“To understand our nature, and to sustain it, we need to appreciate the lucky mix of accident and intention that made us who we are,” he writes. “We have been debating our very identity from the first days of our existence. Was this to be a Christian New Jerusalem, a Dutch speculation, or an English shire?” Those competing views in many ways still jockey for dominance, he says, but the most important thing is the tug-of-war balance that has resulted.
In that same way, America has defined itself through thirteen ongoing arguments that, in various combinations, pit the State, Church, Tribe, Market, and Academy against one another—with individuals caught in the middle. The tug-of-war balance that results from the arguments themselves “define, inspire, and ultimately unite us by bestowing legitimacy on hard-fought deals,” Fineman says. “Arguing keep us moving fitfully forward.”
Fineman arranges his arguments into what he calls “concentric circles” that ripple out from the individual to the world itself and, finally, to the abstract ideal.
For instance, who is a person, who is an American, and what responsibilities do Americans have toward each other? What can Americans be told to believe in matters of faith?
As a country, how do we define money and manage debt? How do we balance centralized versus decentralized government? What is the relative strength of the president “in a federal scheme dedicated to find the midpoint between monarch and mob?”
What is our place in the world and what is out relationship with other countries? What role do trade, diplomacy, and war play in those relationships?
Does the environment belong to the current generation to use and exploit or is the environment something we hold in trust for future generations?
And what does it mean to have—and what do we have to do to achieve—that “more perfect Union” our Founding Fathers envisioned?
Don’t expect to find the arguments articulated in a civics book. As packaged neatly here in a convenient and catchy list of thirteen, they are Fineman’s creations, but the debates themselves are certainly as old and as vital as Fineman suggests.
Fineman explores each question from historical as well as modern perspectives, taking great care to first ground each question by drawing on contemporary events. As he explores “Who is a person,” for instance, he starts on the steps of the Illinois state capital as Barack Obama launched his presidential bid. Fineman draws parallels between Obama and Lincoln, “the Great Emancipator,” and from there examines a number of facets to the question of personhood.
He looks at the old debate over slavery (were slaves people or property), the current debate over abortion (when does a fetus qualify for “personhood”) and the not-too-distant questions that will arise in the future over genetic experimentation.
If Fineman had his way, Americans would argue more. “Rather than argue too much, which is the conventional wisdom’s critique, we in fact do not argue enough about the fundamentals,” he says. The Thirteen American Arguments, he hopes, is one more way to encourage continued dialogue—a dialogue in which everyone has a role.
“If arguing is our saving grace, everyone must feel they have a voice and a chance to be heard,” he writes. “Do they?”
And the argument goes on.

Happy Wednesday. God has blessed me with a good and busy week so far. I have so many projects in progress but time is just not allowing me to complete them as fast as I want. I did finish one small project that I want to share with you.
I found both the lamp base ($5) and the shade ($5) at the thrift store (different times of course). I spray painted the lamp base first with a primer and then with several coats of silver. The shade had been donated from the local Target and still had the plastic wrap and price tag on it, (hence the high price of $5 instead of the everyday $3 price of shades LOL). I needed a lamp with some class in the spare bedroom/office/library/dressing room...yes we use that room for everything. Obviously we have not figured out what to use this room for but I just might use this lamp as a basis for the rest of the decor. Not bad for $10 huh? Enjoy!
Thanks for Visiting,

So you want to be an investor? OK, great. Investing in property can be a thoroughly rewarding experience and give you whole new lease on life (pun intended), but do you know what you’re in for? You may have read a beginner’s guide here and there or you might be completely new to investment game, either way, we’re happy to have you here because at the end of this article you will be well on your way to investment success!
Is Melbourne still an ideal place to invest?
You’ve probably noticed that Melbourne has been through the property market wars lately, which has given those who were hoping to buy into it a reason to maybe consider otherwise. So yes, Melbourne may not be at the top of its game right now but before you go scrambling to snatch up houses in Tassie, let’s take a look at some of the key factors in the future of Melbourne property. According to Property Update:
Victoria continues to see economic growth, including an increase in the number of high paying jobs
Every week, 1,500 new houses are being created in Melbourne alone, which is still struggling to keep up with the thriving demand
Foreign investment remains strong as Melbourne continues to garner much interest from migrants, tourists, foreign investors and developers
First home buyers are back once again, and as keen as ever to get into the market
So given these key points, it’s safe to assume that Melbourne is still a serious contender in the national property market and not one that you’ll want to overlook.
OK, so with that in mind, let’s move on to the next step…
What’s your budget? This is the absolute first thing you’ll want to determine before you start looking high and low for the perfect investment property. You’ll want to know exactly how much you can afford as this is going to directly influence your investment plans, type of properties, and areas you’ll be able to afford.
Before you get too excited, I would highly recommend making an appointment to speak with a lender or mortgage broker so you can get a comprehensive overview of your financial options and your chances for pre-approval. This should then give you a clear picture of what steps to take next.
There’s no such thing as too much research
Going into property investment with the best of intentions and an intuitive state mind is never a bad idea, but do not, I repeat, do not rely on these alone.
As an investment enthusiast, your new motto is going be ‘head over heart’, and I’ll tell you why. When you go to inspect a property and negotiate on price, you can’t rely on anything other than cold hard facts. If you’re planning on living in the property first then it’s going to be extra essential not to let your emotions guide your decision making, because this will just get in the way of your ability to negotiate for the best possible price and look objectively at the facts.
After all, the main goal of property investment is to buy a property that has the highest chance of bringing you the optimal amount of return for your investment. This comes by way of the amount of rent received, the potential for housing price growth over time, and/or the returns made from renovating an existing property and boosting its value.
Sounds simple right? Well, this is where that subheading comes in: there’s no such thing as too much research. And you’ll want to start yesterday because there’s a lot to learn. Don’t get overwhelmed though because there are some simple steps you can take to help you make the most informed decisions possible.
So where do we go from here?
Where indeed? Well, let’s break it down…
Where should I look to invest?
There a number of factors you’ll want to consider when looking for the perfect place to find your investment property. Firstly, you’ll want to keep an eye out for property hotspots. This will generally include suburbs with:
Long-term potential for growth
Meaning areas that are currently in high demand or up-and-coming suburbs that are presently going through a phase of gentrification and a boost in the local economy and lifestyle. Think inner city suburbs and outer suburbs showing a new generation of cultural re-emergence.
Situated close to public transport
This is always going to be more favourable to potential buyers and tenants as the benefits of convenience will never go out of fashion. There’s a reason that “Close to public transport” is in the top 3 points of interest in any housing advertisement.
Views! Views! Views!
Who doesn’t love a good view? A home with a view is going to be highly sought after and will, therefore, always be in high demand. Think city views, ocean views, mountain views, lakeside views… basically, if it’s picturesque, it’s a view.
Close to schools and hospitals
I think it’s fairly safe to assume that people won’t stop having families any time soon. Given that fact, properties that are situated near to schools and hospitals are going to be very popular with young families looking to rent or buy. Properties nearby both education and healthcare facilities will always be high in value.
Low crime rate
This is also going to be high on the list for families, but also for just about everyone else as well. It goes without saying that people want to live in an area where they feel safe and secure. So do what you can to avoid investing in criminal hotspots or pretty much anywhere with higher than average crime statistics.
Potential against all odds
We all know suburbs that remain the butt of every joke or are subject to local stigma for one reason or another. People love to gossip but you shouldn’t always rely on hearsay. Many areas that locals might warn you off buying into may actually be the perfect spot to find a bargain. Now you have to be careful when making this judgement as sometimes the stories are true, but oftentimes, doing a little research into the potential growth of these ‘no-go suburbs’ will give you a fresh perspective and you could ultimately end up the early bird that gets the worm.
This is by no means an exhaustive list of options to consider but these are fundamental points you will want to look deeper into before you go out and start inspecting properties. We’re sure, however, that this should give you a big boost in confidence and set you on your way to becoming a property investment champion!

ACCRA — Ghana’s leader on Wednesday vowed not to back any bid to legalize homosexuality in the west African country, scoffing at Britain’s threat to cut off aid to countries that fail to recognize gay rights.
“I, as president of this nation, will never initiate or support any attempts to legalize homosexuality in Ghana,” John Atta Mills told reporters. British Prime Minister David Cameron said at the weekend that his country will consider withholding aid from countries that do not recognize gay rights.
Atta Mills said Cameron “…does not have the right to direct other sovereign nations as to what they should do especially where their societal norms and ideals are different from those that exist” in Britain.
Cameron made the threat after Commonwealth leaders failed to adopt a recommendation to call for an end to homophobic laws in the 41 member nations at their summit in Perth, western Australia.
Britain is one of the main budgetary donors to Ghana, a former British colony which is also hailed as a rare example of a stable democracy in Africa.
“We recognize the assistance we receive from donors but we will not accept aid coming with strings attached,” he said.
In July, a Ghanaian cabinet minister called for the arrest of homosexuals in the country following media reports alleging that the new oil-producing western region of the country had seen a proliferation of gay people.

1When you had played with life a space
2And made it drink and lust and sing,
3You flung it back into God's face
4And thought you did a noble thing.
5"Lo, I have lived and loved," you said,
6"And sung to fools too dull to hear me.
7Now for a cool and grassy bed
8With violets in blossom near me."
9Well, rest is good for weary feet,
10Although they ran for no great prize;
11And violets are very sweet,
12Although their roots are in your eyes.
13But hark to what the earthworms say
14Who share with you your muddy haven:
15"The fight was on -- you ran away.
16You are a coward and a craven."
17"The rug is ruined where you bled;
18It was a dirty way to die!
19To put a bullet through your head
20And make a silly woman cry!
21You could not vex the merry stars
22Nor make them heed you, dead or living.
23Not all your puny anger mars
24God's irresistible forgiving.
25"Yes, God forgives and men forget,
26And you're forgiven and forgotten.
27You may be gaily sinning yet
28And quick and fresh instead of rotten.
29And when you think of love and fame
30And all that might have come to pass,
31Then don't you feel a little shame?
32And don't you think you were an ass?"

Garden Tips: Beneficial Plants & Bugs
Keep Pests Away Naturally by Using Plants and Bugs!
Now that you have your garden started and growing it is a good time to start thinking about pest control for your fruits and veggies. While I enjoy working in the garden, there is nothing worse than seeing a bunch of bugs getting to the food. Did you know there are several plants which can be planted alongside the veggies in the garden to attract bugs away from the food, and also accommodate predator bugs that will eat the pests? There sure are, and I’m eager to share them with you!
Here’s a list of common plants, herbs, and bugs that you can use naturally instead of chemical insecticides for your garden this summer!
Nasturtiums attract aphids away from your fruits and veggies, and help to control squash bugs (the ones that make me squirm the most!) so they are a great plant to have throughout your garden. One fun thing about this is that the flowers on the plant are edible too! This can be planted in poor soil and it will still do well, so it is drought resistant and flowers will bloom into the fall.
Alyssum is highly attractive to aphids and bees which will also be beneficial to pollinating your fruits and veggies. THis is fast-growing plant and also smothers weeds. It prefers partial shade, but is drought resistant and heat.
Anise Hyssop is very popular to both butterflies and pest-eating insects, and favored by bees. This plant is tolerant of drought, so another great one if you are in the South Idaho area.
Marigolds -is the most well known plant for repelling insects. We planted marigolds in our garden for the first few years and they continue to come back up each year since the seeds drop in the fall. While these flowers drives away many bad bugs, it also attracts spider mites and snails which are beneficial even if they are creepy. 🙂
Golden Marguerite are favorites to aphids, ladybugs, lacewings, tachinid flies and mini-wasps. This plant does very well in poor soils, and you can remove wilted flowers to promote more blooming to take place.
Sunflowers draw aphids away from other plants and can also be used for companion planting with beans. We planted these last year and I noticed right away that there was a LOT of ants once the stems were more mature. I have read that ants move their colonies onto sunflowers, so this is a great way to get them away from your strawberries! The sunflowers are tough enough that they suffer no damage from the ant colony.
Ornamental Grasses provide excellent summer shelter for ladybugs and other beneficial bugs, and are a pretty addition to the landscape around your garden. Helping provide a habitat for the good bugs is a friendly and natural way to attract the bugs that will eat the pesky ones.
Basil is a great way to repel flies and mosquitoes because of the oils in it. It is also a fantastic companion plant with tomato, so I have planted several basil plants around my tomatoes this year!
Dill attracts hoverflies and predatory wasps and tomato hornworms are also attracted to dill. So plant it a bit away from your tomatoes to get them away from your tomatoes. Dill also repels aphids and spider mites, and you can also use the dill leaves on squash plants to repel squash bugs…again the bug that I am most squeamish to…so I certainly use this!
Chives help to repel Japanese beetles and carrot rust flies. These are also a fantastic ingredient to have on hand for several different recipes!
Lady Bugs are a kid friendly and fun way to repel insects in your garden. Ladybugs are general predators that feed on a variety of slow-moving insects including Aphids, Moth eggs, Mites, Scales, Thrips, Leaf Hoppers, Mealybugs, Chinch Bugs, Asparagus Beetle larvae, Whitefly and others!
So, now that you are getting excited for all of the fruits and veggies in your garden, protect them naturally with a variety of these repellents! I’d love to hear if you have any other natural ways of pest control!

Just as in the Sacred Geometries, there are symmetries and harmonies in beauty that allow reflection. These symmetries not only create a flow of energy and attention, but they can also ease or amplify power.
For example, the symmetry of a balanced dual can allow an easy energetic flow of back and forth, like in the infinite symbol or 8. More complex symmetries often will have multiple dual axes, such as two axes in a cross or square, or 3 axes in a hexagon. These crossings of symmetrical axes flowing through the center bring harmonizing of the flows, allowing attention and intent to flow in many directions easily.
Geometries of odd numbers will harmonize on axes that move in and out in reconciling opposing directions. This understanding is a bit more complex, but when understood is clear and intuitive. Odd numbers create a polar axis of north/south or expansion/contraction around which the other points fall symmetrically. The polar axis of even numbers doesn’t necessarily indicate a single direction of flow. The field of flow around the even numbers can be bi-directional, whereas the odd numbers will have a specific directional flow of expansion/contraction along any particular axis. There will also be reflective harmonic, intuitive flows of energy and attention in odd numbers because of similarities of angles and ratios, such as Phi in the pentagram.
There is a deepening and expansion of attention (i.e. light) when there is ease of reflection in many directions. We recognize this intuitively through our direct perception. Our experience of this is a feeling of expanding relaxation that we identify as beauty. This ability of reflection is a quality of the beautiful.
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” This is supremely true, and simultaneously beauty is a force of adjustment on the beholder. The inner geometry of the Self is a complex, intimate and potentially convoluted configuration, full of both simple and mystifying angles. If this can be seen in reflected manifestation, then a sense of respect is gained. (See blog post article on Respect = Re-Specked.) A complex reflection that is full of strange angles and contortions may find resonant reflection in one’s self, finding a reflective symmetry of inner and outer that can be beautiful.
If simultaneously this reflection carries a sense of harmonic placement in a larger and greater whole, then the reflection of the manifested beauty can resonate one’s sense of self in the greater reality. We can suddenly see our place in a grander schema. New knowledge can be gained from seeing these perspectives.
Beauty is essential for the success of the evolutionary enterprise. The pursuit of Truth without the caveat of Beauty can become lacking in basic moral decency. It is the context of Beauty that helps keep Truth aligned with the Good.
A code I hear and see in the word Beauty:
Be You tY
The geometry of the t or + is the cross of the vertical with the horizontal, which also represents the crucible of Self as Source. The geometry of the Y is a vertical that receives the dance of duality into the aligning of Self as Source. I.e. Beauty = Be You in the crucible of the Self as Source receiving the dance of aligning in duality.

Nicergoline is part of a family of drugs known as ‘smart drugs’ or nootropics, which are used to help improve impaired brain function. Nicergoline enhances mental clarity, perception and concentration.
Originally introduced for disorders affecting blood supply to the brain, it soon became apparent that Nicergoline had other considerable benefits.
It has now been found to enhance concentration and improve mental clarity, perception and vigilance. Nicergoline is also currently being used to treat forms of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease.
What are the effects of Nicergoline?
Nicergoline has been around for more than 30 years, but its usage and benefits have emerged over time.
Studies into the effects of Nicergoline have revealed its potential for improving mental agility, and it’s now one of the most highly regarded brain concentration supplements on the market.
Nicergoline works by stimulating what’s known as alpha-adrenolytic action, this activates the brain’s metabolism. It is an ergot derivative and therefore has a chemical resemblance to codergocrine mesilate and is used for similar purposes.
The most well-known codergocrine mesilate is perhaps Hydergine, which boosts vigilance and perception, although the effects of Nicergoline are somewhat different. Whilst Hydergine stabilises oxygen and increases mental ability, (thereby extending a person’s useful mental workload), the principal effects of Nicergoline are to boost mental clarity, vigilance and perception.
How does Nicergoline work?
When Nicergoline was first introduced it was as a vasoactive drug, in other words a drug used to exert an effect on blood vessels. Over time however, it proved to have a more complex pharmacological profile than scientists had first realised.
Nicergoline works by activating the brain’s metabolism and increasing arterial flow, lowering vascular resistance and improving the use of glucose and oxygen. The effect of this is improved mental agility, clarity, perception and concentration.
Nicergoline is also known to act on the blood itself, inhibiting platelet aggregation and blood clots. Plate aggregation is when the colourless, irregularly-shaped platelets found in blood, clump together. This is part of the sequence of events that leads to blood clots.
What is Nicergoline useful for?
Nicergoline has been widely used in hospitals to regulate and improve brain disorders caused by metabolic-vascular insufficiencies. It’s mainly used to enhance mental clarity, perception and concentration.
Nicergoline is currently prescribed to treat senile dementia, by activating the brain’s metabolism and improving uptake of glucose and oxygen. Studies on animals have shown that Nicergoline can increase nerve growth in an older brain.
Nicergoline is also useful in treating a number of blood-related problems, such as transient ischemia (occasional blood supply difficulties) platelet hyper-aggregability (sticky blood platelets), improving limb blood-irrigation and lung blood-circulation.
Nicergoline has further benefits in the treatment of migraines stemming from vascular problems, and for macular degeneration, a common age-related eye problem.
Given its ability to act on blood vessels and blood itself, Nicergoline is useful for the following conditions:
Acute and chronic cerebral metabolic-vascular disorders, such as the hardening of the walls of the blood vessels in the brain, thrombosis (blood clot in a cerebral blood vessel), obstructions of a blood vessel in the brain and occasional blood supply problems to the brain.
Diseases of the arteries affecting the limbs, Raynaud’s Disease and other conditions caused by altered peripheral blood flow.
Problems of a vascular nature, such as dizziness, auditory hallucinations and hearing impairments caused by a deficiency in the conductive hearing organs.
Corio-retinal vascular disorders – damage to the retina of the eye caused by blood supply problems, macular degeneration and a hardening of the walls of the blood vessels in the retina.
Recommended Nicergoline dosages
Recommended Nicergoline dosages vary according to the condition being treated. For age-related macular degeneration and blood disorders, a dosage of 5mg once, twice or three times daily is usually sufficient. For the treatment of senile dementia, 30mg to 60mg may be recommended.
As with all nootropic drugs, occasional breaks from the treatment regime are advised. The side effects of Nicergoline are minimal and are usually an indication of incorrect dosage.
Nicergoline is a safe, effective brain concentration supplement, highly recommended for improved mental vigilance and clear thinking.
What our customers say...
We are very pleased that IAS is stocking Nicergoline now, here in Japan it is one of the most popular of the smart-drugs. Y.K., Japan.

VICTOR WANGMastrius Master Artist
Navigating two worlds and always holding the tension and beauty of both, #mastriusmaster VICTOR WANG sculpts figures and portraits on canvas using nothing but his tools and the paint.
Influenced and inspired by French sculptor Auguste Rodin, Victor uses the physicality of form and his portraits as vehicles to relay the depth and nuance of emotion.
“I have tried to treat my colors as clay rather than paint. I build up and model the form on canvas. The thickness of the paint evokes a sculptural and multi-level quality of my works.”
He also expresses the inner conflict that arose from his immigration experience to America where he found a vast gap between his expectation and reality.
“Although I often gain great pleasure from the process of painting, it is most important to unfold expressively those feelings within myself.”
Elements of Victor’s own experiences are always present in the works he creates. No stranger to complex emotion, he often pulls from his experience during China’s Cultural Revolution: forced to do years of hard labour in the same sunflower fields he grew up happily playing in.
After graduating from and teaching at one of the top art universities in China, Victor now teaches graduate classes at Fontbonne University where he earned his MFA. He exhibits internationally from Taiwan to New York to Toronto, has published two books, and won a multitude of accolades for excellence in both painting and art instruction.
“When I was young, my dad told me that genius came from hard working. That had an effect during my whole life and in the way I keep working hard to better myself.”
A deeply thoughtful, experienced, and talented mentor, Victor looks forward to connecting with and pouring into emerging artists!

The bitter feud between Taylor Swift and music mogul Scooter Braun has entered a new chapter, after he sold the rights to her first six albums to an investment fund.
Swift and Braun have been locked in a very public battle ever since he bought the masters – the original recordings – of most of her music in June 2019.
He has now sold those recordings to a company called Shamrock Holdings in a deal thought to be worth more than $300m (£227m).
Swift called it “the second time my music had been sold without my knowledge”.
What happened between Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun?
Swift and Braun have never seen eye-to-eye. She has previously accused him of “incessant, manipulative bullying”.
It also does not help that Braun used to represent Kanye West, with whom Swift has been involved in another years-long public feud. Braun was West’s manager when he released the track “Famous”, which Swift has called a “revenge porn music video which strips my body naked”.
In June 2019, Braun’s company Ithaca Holdings purchased Swift’s former record label, Big Machine. With it came the master recordings of her first six albums.
Swift had been trying to buy her master recordings from Big Machine for years before this, but founder Scott Borchetta refused to sell unless she signed on with the company for another long contract – something Swift was unwilling to do, as she knew the label was for sale.
However, she says she had no idea Braun would end up being the buyer. In a Tumblr post after the sale she called it her “worst case scenario”.
“Essentially, my musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it,” she said. “Never in my worst nightmares did I imagine the buyer would be Scooter.”
Swift has received support from other big stars in the music industry, including Halsey and Iggy Azalea. However, Braun has been backed up by the likes of Justin Bieber and Demi Lovato, both of whom he represents.
She moved record companies last autumn, and is now with Universal’s Republic Record. As part of the deal, she guaranteed she would own all future masters of her music, starting with the 2019 album Lover.
Why are the masters so important?
A master recording of a song is the first recording of it, and the one from which all copies are made.
The owner of the master also owns all of the copies, which includes the versions on the song that live on streaming sites like Spotify and Apple Music, as well as physical CDs and records.
This means Braun is making money from all of Swift’s old music.
When Swift signed her first record deal with Big Machine in 2004, when she was 15, she gave them the rights to her first six albums in exchange for a cash advance. Such deals are quite common in the industry.
What are the latest developments?
Swift had been trying – without success – to purchase her music back from Braun before he sold it to Shamrock.
She said Braun’s legal team had insisted on her signing a non-disclosure agreement stating she “would never say another word about Scooter Braun unless it was positive”.
Shamrock now owns the rights to Swift’s old music, videos and album artwork, which initially seemed like good news for Swift, as it is no longer under Braun’s control.
However, she has learned that Braun will continue to profit off her songs as part of the deal.
Shamrock had contacted Swift about partnering, but Swift wrote in a letter to the company, which she posted on social media on Tuesday: “I simply cannot in good conscience bring myself to be involved in benefiting Scooter Braun’s interests directly or indirectly.”
She added that she is continuing with her original plan to re-record all her old music, a project she has called “exciting and creatively fulfilling”.
“This is the only way I have of regaining the sense of pride I once had when hearing songs from my first six albums and also allowing my fans to listen to those albums without feeling guilt for benefitting Scooter,” she said.

With a history stretching back over 70 years, Alimak is well-established as a leading provider of vertical access solutions, from construction hoists and work platforms to a range of industrial elevators. Alimak is well known in the vertical access industry for pioneering advances in technology such as the rack and pinion drive. Alimak introduced the first rack and pinion mast climbing work platform back in 1956. Since then, this technology has proved its continuing effectiveness for industrial elevators and construction hoists alike, operating in many of the toughest environments in the world. Alongside rack and pinion technology, Alimak has also maintained a strong record of development in traction-based technology as part of a world-leading offshore and marine elevator range. Across a wide array of harsh working environments and various industries, a high-quality industrial elevator or construction hoist is often a vital piece of investment for any site infrastructure, delivering robust, fast and reliable transportation for people and materials in order to improve efficiency, productivity and contribute to safe working practices.
An Alimak rack and pinion elevator or construction hoist can be operated without the requirement for a hoistway or machine room, offering much greater flexibility in terms of the variety of sites where they can be practically installed onto an already existing structure or in an environment where limited space is an issue. Rack and pinion elevators can be installed to meet the specific requirements of the operating environment, whether that is indoors or outdoors and with or without the provision of a below grade elevator pit. Where a rack and pinion elevator is installed around an existing structure, it is vertically self-supporting and therefore provides practical access solutions with only minimal tie-in loads. In addition, the rack and pinion system allows for a wide range of elevator sizes and capacities to suit any number of access needs and environmental parameters, with hard-wearing quality being a constant across all Alimak’s vertical access systems. With the use of rack and pinion technology, lifting heights are virtually unlimited. The Alimak elevator with the highest lifting height so far is 700 metres.
Traction technology is often a smart choice for applications where ride comfort and minimal noise during operation are key considerations. In general, traction-based mechanisms built around cables, counterweight, pulleys and motors are common across various types of everyday elevators. Standard traction elevators, however, usually require space for a separate machine room. Alimak’s range of traction elevators is designed and built specifically for industrial applications with durable materials such as stainless steel and a wide range of sizes and weight capacities suitable for all kinds of freight and passenger transport requirements. Importantly, Alimak’s traction elevators are also available with options for machine room-less operation or with the machine room located on top of the shaft, saving room in industrial environments where space is at a premium.
From construction sites and warehouse, to mining and marine applications, the technology behind Alimak’s vertical access systems is tried and tested as a highly valuable investment in the smooth and efficient running of any site operation. Research and development remains an ongoing priority, ensuring that Alimak’s product range is always driving new advances to deliver the best possible vertical access solutions for a wide range of applications.

Boycotting an Olympic Game is not a joke. And it's not something that you say just because you think you're right. You have to face all the other possible different points of view. What about the people, like me, that think a boycott of Russia Olympics Winter Games in Sochi should be done? And what about people that think the opposite? Politicians, sponsors and athletes to start with. When it comes to such issues, ideals and morals must confront with political, economical and personal interests. In my opinion, economics and politics should follow ideals and morals while, when it comes to people's personal stories, you have to do more than just create a slogan.
If you think about the personal history of an athlete, for example, it is mainly a more-than-ten-years-long session of hard and constant work, with the only aim to have the chance to be in the most important competition in the world. With which words, talking about which values, can a nation say to all these athletes that they will have to wait for other four years to prove their worth in front of a worldwide audience?
On the other side, there are all the stories of those whose personal and human rights were violated because of the recent Russian authorities' decisions. And I am not talking just about the LGBT community, since many people from Georgia, Chechnya and many Russian journalists or activists, would have many things to say about this issue as well -if they weren't dead already...
Without the Olympic Games, the personal life of an athlete would not have nothing to deal with the story of Vladislav Tornovoi, for example, a 23-years-old gay man murdered in May in Volgograd. From the condition of his corpse - which I don't describe but you can read about it here - there is no doubt of the homophobic nature of this murder.
When you are on an international stage, then you also face what the world is and, in this particular case, what Russian government and society is. Whatever an athlete will say or do in public, he or she will always have a personal opinion about it too. This is the moment to face personal beliefs, values and priorities and to make a decision. Nobody can force a boycott and nobody can interfere with the personal choice of somebody else, but in these situations, silence is the biggest and most dangerous statement of them all.

Bajaj claim that this little 100cc motor will sip on one litre of fuel for the better part of 97 kilometres, inching ever so close to the 100kmpl mark.

Shahab Nadali, a political prisoner from Hamedan, has been convicted and sentenced to execution by Branch 26 of the Revolutionary Court of Iran, presided over by Judge Iman Afshari, in a fabricated case on charges of “membership in opposition groups” and “connection with the Mojahedin and armed cooperation with them” accused of rebellion. (Bagh-y)
Shahab Nadali is a 42-year-old worker and the father of a 12-year-old daughter. This political prisoner was arrested by security forces in the city of Iran in June 2024 and was later transferred to Evin Prison. Based on baseless accusations, he was sentenced to execution in the Revolutionary Court on Monday, January 8, 2024.
Shahab Nadali, the political prisoner, and his lawyer have protested against the verdict and have submitted a request for a review to the Supreme Court of the country. However, up to this moment, there has been no response to their plea for a review.
According to the research conducted by Iran Human Rights Monitor (Iran HRM), the attribution of the charge of “rebellion” (Bagh-y) to Shahab Nadali lacks legal basis since Shahab has not used any form of armed weaponry. And similarly, Shahab Nadali has been engaged in individual activism.
While the charge of “rebellion” according to Article 287 of the Iran regime’s law refers to armed group uprising against the Iran government, it is evident that this accusation does not align with the laws of the Iran regime itself. Shahab Nadali should be acquitted of this charge and his appeal should be accepted.

CNN was not completely transparent about the background of some of the people who questioned Bernie Sanders during his town hall on Monday night. Although the brief descriptions shown on screen were accurate to a degree, they didn’t all represent the whole story for some of the questioners. Some of the people who asked Sanders questions had a background working with the Democratic party or lobbyists. However, interestingly enough, some of the people who asked tough questions were actually Sanders supporters. One shared on social media that he really wanted Sanders to publicly address an important issue in the campaign. Read on to learn more.
Beth (@FaerieWhings on Twitter), the Mike Grapes Fan Account (@respecteconomy), and others delved into the background of the people who questioned Sanders. Many viewers commented that the Town Hall questions were incredibly tough, a contrast to how some other town halls were handled. However, his supporters also agreed that it’s good for Sanders to be asked the tougher questions and address these issues up front. But for some, the tone felt overly harsh at times.
Overall, it appears that Sanders was asked questions from people of varying backgrounds, some who supported him and some who likely don’t. Some viewers have said the biggest issue is when some of the captions were inaccurate, and they wish CNN was more transparent about the questioners’ backgrounds.
Here’s a look at some of the people who talked to Bernie Sanders during the town hall. CNN gave accurate descriptions for some, but not others. Some of the questioners also talked about the process of the event, which is interesting to read.
Sheila Ruth got to ask the very first question of the night. She didn’t find out until just a few minutes before they went live that she would get the first question, the Baltimore Sun shared. She said she was really nervous before she stood up, but then just focused on her question. She asked Sanders how he would defeat President Donald Trump or if he would help whoever is nominated if it’s not him.
Ruth said she selected two questions (the other was about climate change), and CNN chose which question she got to ask. She said the evening was “well orchestrated.” When it was time to ask a question, a floor manager would tap the person on the shoulder and point them toward where they should stand, which was marked. Then they were tapped again when it was time to return to their seat.
Shadi Nasab was simply listed as an “American University Student.” She asked the question about sexual assault allegations within Sanders’ campaign.
Her question needed to be asked, as the allegations brought up in Sanders’ 2016 campaign have been all over the news for weeks. But CNN didn’t disclose her full credentials. Shadi Nasab is also a public policy intern for DC Cassidy and Associates, a large lobbying firm, according to her LinkedIn. However, she’s only been there for two months. She’s also the co-founder of Blue Future, a group focused on building relationships with other youth progressive organizations and providing leadership training.
Tara Ebersole, a former biology professor, was one of the people who asked Sanders a question.
According to her LinkedIn, she’s been the chair of the Baltimore County Democratic Party for three years. She’s also an illustrator of a series of children’s books and a former professor at The Community College of Baltimore County. She was executive director of the Baltimore County STEM Alliance.
Ebersole had the second question of the night, the Baltimore Sun shared. She’s also the wife of state delegate Eric Ebersole, who was part of Hillary Clinton’s leadership council in Baltimore in 2016, Paste Magazine noted. She asked about Sanders’ health care plan.
Abena McAllister was listed in the town hall as a mother of two and an active Democrat.
She’s a member of the Charles County Democratic Central Committee, according to a bio about her on Charles County Democrats.
She has a bachelor’s from Nyack College, a private Christian college, and has made several missions trips to South America and Africa, as well as within the United States. She has a law degree from David A. Clarke School of Law and has advocated for disabled children. She’s married and has two dogs, according to the bio.
Her Facebook page showed that she was really happy to have the opportunity to be at the town hall and she even posed for a picture with Sanders.
She wrote on Facebook:
Most countries with developed economies offer public preschool as a standard benefit to all of their 3 and 4-year-olds, America does not. Instead, low-income parents here scramble for scarce public spots while middle-income parents scrounge to pay for increasingly costly private preschool. I know so many working class families right here in Maryland that can’t afford the cost of quality care. High quality universal pre-K for 3 and 4 yr olds could significantly reduce the financial burden facing many middle class families and help ensure that children are prepared for kindergarten. Last night, I was encouraged to hear Senator @berniesanders respond to my question with a resounding ‘absolutely’ and assure me and all listening that he would support efforts to offer high quality optional publicly funded universal pre-K for all American families.”
Yunjung Seo was listed as a George Washington University student during the town hall.
According to her LinkedIn, Seo’s a BBA candidate for finance and political science at George Washington University. She’s also listed as being an intern for Katz Watson Group. This group provides fundraising and consultation services to political candidates. Seo’s just a sophomore in college and she’s only been interning with Katz Watson for two months.
Michele Gregory asked the climate change question. She’s the communications chair of the Lower Shore Progressive Caucus on Maryland’s East Shore, the Baltimore Sun shared. But during the town hall she was listed only as a “Maryland voter.”
It turns out that Gregory is more of a Sanders supporter than people realized. An article in Del Marva Now in 2018 noted that Gregory was promoting a platform that was essentially Bernie Sanders’. Gregory said she had some problems with the Democratic Party members over that. “We have a very progressive agenda and there are folks who are not keen on that,” she said.
After the event, she proudly shared photos with Sanders and Nina Turner on her Facebook page. In fact, one of her profile photos is now the photo of her and Sanders. She wrote about Turner: “And I just have to say, Nina looked straight up like she’d walked off the set of The Matrix. Total badass inspiration.”
Chioma Iwuoha asked the reparations question. The CNN caption shared that she worked for a nonprofit.
She’s actually Director of Development for Capital Partners for Education and has been there for five months, according to her LinkedIn. The organization’s board of directors includes Booze Allen Hamilton executives and the Carlyle Group. In October, she wrote on Facebook that she loved her job because she gets to serve low-income youth and she gets to do work that she loves. “Everything I prayed for in a job is what I received,” she happily shared.
Prior to this, she was the Education Advisory Council Member for the Meyer Foundation and an advisory board member for the Legal Aid Justice Center. She’s also the co-founder of the Melanin Uprising Youth Activist Center.
Some reports say that Alexis M. Herman, who was Secretary of Labor under Bill Clinton, may have been her aunt (a girl by the same name as Chioma was with her when she was sworn in.) However, this hasn’t been verified as the same person.
In the past, she ran to be an at large committeewoman for the DC Democratic State Committee. She was also part of the Dump Trump group, as many Democrats are.
Her Facebook posts reveal a woman seeking to uplift others, who speaks to middle school girls about building self-esteem and about the possibilities they can have in life.
Jaqueline Smith was listed as a Circuit Court Clerk.
She won a tough contest against Republican Jackson Miller, who was favored to win because he had more cash on hand for the election, Fauqier Times reported. But Smith won 53 percent of the vote. She has an eight-year term. She said she won because of small-dollar donors and grassroots efforts. Her listing appears accurate on CNN.
Troy Donte Prestwood was listed as a community organizer in Washington, D.C.
More specifically, he’s the public relations executive and chair of the Advisory Neighborhood Commission 8A for the District of Columbia according to his LinkedIn.
He’s the founder and CEO of Prestwood PR, a public relations organization that works for some local and national organizations.
Donte is also a supporter of Cory Booker, who’s running for President too, according to his social media posts. It certainly wouldn’t disqualify Troy from asking the question, but knowing his background might have made the question even more interesting to watch. There was no need for CNN to include that information, however.
On his Twitter, Prestwood thanked Sanders for his response to his question.
Prestwood ran for the Democratic State Committee in June and was described as an “inspiring community leader.” He was part of the Dump Trump group.
Schanelle Saldanha asked the Venezuela question, which was important to ask because Sanders’ opinion on Venezuela has been a major focus lately. She was listed as an American University student.
It certainly doesn’t disqualify her from asking questions, but it’s interesting to note that she’s a fan of Loretta Lynch, according to her Facebook.
This is a detail that probably had no need to be included during the event, however. CNN was accurate in their description of Saldanha. She’s an American University student, studying broadcast journalism and political science.
Noel Isama got to ask one of the first questions, seeking to know how Sanders would address the deep sense of mistrust that some in the African-American community feel towards him. In his question, he noted that some felt he didn’t support Hillary Clinton enough and may have contributed to Trump’s election. Isama was listed as a public policy analyst and this appears accurate — he works in data analysis for the Sun Foundation, a non-profit advocating for an open government.
He tweeted later that he was happy to be able to participate. Isama said he was “feeling the Bern” and asked his question “as a chance for Bernie to directly answer concerns people have about him.”
Isama said that each participant got to submit three questions and then CNN picked which question they asked. He also submitted questions about how people view his supporters and about government transparency.
So in summary, it appears that some of the people who asked questions were represented accurately in CNN’s captions and descriptions, but others had a background that should have been included for greater transparency. Interestingly, at least some who asked the tougher questions were actually Sanders supporters.
Some people have reported trouble sharing tweets about this topic on Facebook, with the posts labeled by Facebook as abusive. A post about this on one of the Bernie Sanders subreddits was also locked, but other discussions are still active.

Past Continuous is a brilliant tour de force, a Joycean panorama of the lives of three men, their families, their lovers, and their friends in the quintessentially modern city of Tel Aviv.
