Life is hard and finding a job is not very easy, but the best thing to do is to keep trying and never give up. I would advise to start by temporary jobs, try agencies (even if they are shit !) and be active.
Thanks for releasing the compilation.
Good luck for your new album.
Wishing you all the best...Loads of love to everyone in the band, and also to the cure, if you happen to be in touch with them

I love the Cranes. They are cool. One of my major inspirations!
Since the last time I was here I have started to sing (on stage)
and to play the guitar better. My friends that I jam with and I were offered
a paying gig so we have temporarily become a blues/rock cover band called
Midnight Sugar. I've managed to convince them to do a Cure cover with me!
Yippee!!! I will learn to play some Cranes, and hopefully get to cover
one of their songs sometime! Well, I must go.
PS: Mark is cool for not being a snob and for being nice to his fans.
He chatted with me for a bit after the Vancouver Show, and he was
positively delightfull. Thank you!!

My first encounter with the Cranes was when my friend gave me am MC with
various Gothic and Electro songs (I don't really remember the name of the
album, but that doesn't really matter, now does it?). On this MC there
were two songs which I found to be 'absolutely divine', namely 'Ich mochte
nicht langer' by Goethes Erben, and 'Far away' by the Cranes. Since I heard
these two songs I am a big (read: immencely big) fan of Goethes Erben and
the Cranes. Alison has a wonderful, angel-like voice (as you probably know
all too well), as if she got accidentally trapped on this world, but actually
belongs in a better place (read: heaven).
So, my lesson (programming in Turbo Pascal) is over, so I'd better stop and
be on my way.
Don't be surprised to encounter me the next time the Cranes come to Ghent,
I sure will be there!!!

i first heard the cranes about the time they were on the cure wish tour in 92. i remember because i wanted to see them more than the cure, but being 12 years old and landlocked i only heard stories from the older, more advantaged folk. 5 years later, i still suffer from an age deficiency that seems to keep
me from any west coast shows of every single band i like...generally the more obscure ones. oh well. the cranes are like church music. like cathedrals on sundays. when i stare at the stained glass windows right after
sunset as they lose rich color and turn black.
then the focus shifts toward red and blue votive
candles...and sounds of angels.

I first heard the Cranes about five years ago in Drama class. A friend of mine was doing a movement piece and she used a song from Wings of Joy to accompany her and it the song was so eerie and haunting that I had
to borrow the album. I listened to it and was instantly captivated by Alison's voice. Form that day on I have been a devout follower
of the Cranes. I like the newest album but I wish it sounded a little bit more like some of their earlier albums!

I ended up with Cranes through Cocteau Twins to Dead Can Dance to Cranes. Though they all sound different, I categorize them all as the samegenre. If anybody has info on hard-to find cd's...
let me know.

well,first of all i've heard Cranes when they'd tour with THE CURE the music it was so fascinating and the voice of Alison was so lovely that's why i got into them
Brooklyn, NY USA - Monday, September 22, 1997 at 22:43:57 (EDT)
back in '91 i bought the adoration single 'cause the artwork really impressed me a lot. i'm still hearing it now, while i'm writing this stuff.
i bought all i've been able to find (i missed only some single/ep, it's really hard to find cranes releases here in italy).
i simply love the cranes.
they're the best&beautiful&impressive&bewitching band ever.
adoration is the most beautiful song ever conceived.
... nothing will make me smile...

Well, I had the chance to hang out with some of the band members after the show in Baltimore last March. Manu was completely wasted and entertaining the bar. Who's that fifth member of the Cranes? You mean the guy with the long blonde hair? If I recall correclty, I think Manu addressed him as......'Fabio'.
Baltimore, MD USA - Saturday, September 20, 1997 at 14:23:03 (EDT)
Well, I see that the album is titled Population 4 but when I attended a recent show I could of sworn that there was FIVE people on stage. No, there WAS five people on stage.
Tell me, who is that fifth member?

How I discovered the Cranes was truely divine intervention, I had just finished work about 30 minutes before the mall closed and the dredded compulsive urge to buy a CD engulfedme. So I turned on the radio and hoped for something really awesome and accoustic to play.
Well, my prayers were answered and they played Everywhere off of Forever. I immediatly proceeded to Kemp Mills and got the last copy, A truely wise investment. The amazing thing is that WHFS (the radio station) completely SUCKS ASS! and that is why it's so divine. As being a big fan of the cranes I felt a little disappointed when I heard POP. 4, where did the thick lavish orchestral maneuvers go?!?! While some tunes are truly wonderful, they're no Paris and Rome. POP. 4 is growing on me though. I have to say, it's a toss between Forever and loved for me.

, Well, I first heard the cranes on some obscure British pop review program singing starblood. From then on I knew! I had the pleasure of meeting Alison outside the London union chapel before a gig recently, when I managed to stop shaking I asked if I could take a photo,she must have felt sorry for me as she said yes. It is now a prized possesion. I also got some fantastis photos from the gig, one where she actually smiled into
the camera for me while singing! Sad isnt it, but it all made for the greatest of evenigs.
I would like to hear from any cranes fans anywhere, feel free to e mail me.
Bye for now.

I went to the Cranes show, quite appropiately, last Thursday. It was truly one of the most
inspiring events in my life. The only other band I've seen who come close to capturing that
musical magic is King Crimson.
The only Cranes I'd heard was Wings of Joy (I bought pop.4 yesterday. More on that later)
so I wasn't expecting the raw, unpretentious, grungy (I can hear the whole guestbook groan)
power of this lineup. And yes, I too am in love with Alison... her ballsy guitar and bass
playing, her defiantly unique vocals, her sexily subdued, even shy stage persona, her
warbled 'Muchas gracias'. Manu is still in the group and he's brilliant. Mark is a really
great, powerful guitarist (natty dreads!). Jim is perhaps the quietest and least show-offy
(not that the others show off), but his guitar work was consistently tasteful and catchy
(check out his kitchen-knife scrapes on Angel Bells). A longhaired blond bloke (Paul?)
played on a few tunes and he was great.
The boys (not Ali) were all drinking prodigious ammounts of Sol beer. How 'bout it, folks?
Is it any match for them British ales?
I can't help thinking that for the Cranes it must have seemed like a crappy gig... there
were hardly a hundred persons in there and the opening band sucked. But when I say they were
inspiring I really mean it. I am a musician (anyone from Mexico care to form a group?) and
after the show I thought 'God, if I can't have that (the music, the power, the adrenaline)
in my life, if I can't _live_ in it, really, what's the point?'.
Anyway, I'm only just listening to Pop. 4 and it's really brilliant. I can't say it's
better or worse than WOJ, it's very different, but it's a very honest, original and powerful
record, and it _almost_ does justice to their live show. That's high praise.
Well, the Cranes have a fan in this Mexican kid, and I promise to buy all the Cranes
material I'm missing as soon as I get some cash. Let's all be thankful there is such thing
as the Cranes. A musical grace indeed.

I really do not know how I first heard of them. Their name was floating around and I heard that they had a really beautiful and ethereal sound. Eventually my curiousity got the better of me and I bought "Loved" without ever listening to them. Iloved it immediately. Allison's voice is fragile yet intense, haunting yet almost frightening. When I found out that the Cranes were Robert Smith's favorite band or something (I live and die for the Cure), I freaked out because it gave credability to what I already knew. The Cranes rule! The only other cd I have is "Forever", but it is probably one of my favorite albums ever from anyone. Every track is good. I'm pretty tight with my money but right now i'm broke because i'm a compulsive cd buyer. But from what I've been reading, my next cd's gonna be "Pop4"! So, if anyone wants to donate to Airam's cd fund. . . . .just kidding!
Berkeley, CA USA - Sunday, August 31, 1997 at 01:04:00 (EDT)
I have not picked up the new Cranes album because several people told me that I would be dissapointed with it. I think I will eventually pick it up though as curiosity will get the better of me.
I first heard the Cranes several years after hanging out with some Goth type girls. As a rule back then when I was involved in the Skinhead scene, I did not listen to that type of music. But I feel in love with Allisons voice. All my friends would get mad because they would want to listen to Brutal Attack and No Remorse and I would put on this crazy, moody Gothic type shit called the Cranes. Allisons voice inspired me any ways. Sometimes during moments of intense violence, during fights, I would have her voice running through my head, cooing the words to any number of Cranes songs. I went to prison and I was not able to hear anyhting by them for almost 2 1/2 years. When I was released from prison one of the first things I did was go out and buy up all their stuff on CD. I like the Cranes because lyrically/musically they are as intense as anything I have ever heard. I listened to them for years at all different stages during my life. Fighting, fucking, bleeding, sleeping, eating....The Cranes fit into any mood I am in. I used to dream sometimes that I would come to Allison covered in blood from victims I have slain, enemies or those that would harm her. Kind of fucking wacko I suppose, but I love that womans voice. I suppose I cannot really articulate what it does to me. Anyway, the Cranes are a really good band and Allison has an AMAZING fucking voice.

one of their albums today. I am still looking for "Loved" and I'm also looking
for wavs of midi's of their music. If someone knows where that might be, can
they please let me know? Thanks.

TİKA Supported the Preservation of the Cultural Heritage of Local People in Colombia
Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TİKA), in cooperation with the Colombian Ministry of Culture, provided equipment to the National Indigenous Organization of Colombia (ONIC) to create an audio and video archive in order to preserve and make visible the cultural, linguistic and traditional heritage of the locals.
As part of the Program for the Protection of Indigenous Cultures and Support for the Economic and Social Development of Indigenous People in South America, TIKA provided equipment that will enable 21 different indigenous peoples in Colombia to preserve their languages, experiences, lifestyles, cultures and crafts and transfer them to future generations.
The Ministry of Culture of Colombia and the National Indigenous Organization of Colombia (ONIC) are working together to strengthen the technical infrastructure of these schools and establishing schools of communication education in order to archive the cultural heritage of indigenous peoples. Within this scope, the organization prepares videos, radio programs and photo exhibitions about the lifestyles, problems and cultures of 21 different indigenous groups.
Thanks to the technical equipment for audio-visual production such as camera, recording device and microphone provided under the project carried out by TİKA, it is aimed to improve the visibility of the oral and folkloric traditions of the locals and the communication in the Amazonas, Antioquia, Atlántico, Caquetá, Casanare, César, Chocó, Córdoba, Guajira departments of the country, and to improve the audio-visual production processes of schools.
Under the project, various training sessions are planned to be organized by public institutions such as the Colombian Ministry of Culture, Colombian Ministry of Information and Communication Technologies and SENA (National Training Service) in order to use the provided equipment and develop visual products.
Natalia Sefair, Head of the International Relations Unit of the Ministry of Culture, made a statement about the support given; “The cooperation provided by TİKA will enable different indigenous communities of Colombia to encounter cultural globalization. They will be able to use the media effectively to produce their own audiovisual content and to make their culture, language and traditions visible. It is very important that our Ministry of Culture's Public Communications Policy for Local People be implemented in a broader framework. We would like to thank the Turkish government once again for all the efforts made to finish this project successfully, and we see that these collaborations have contributed greatly to strengthening bilateral relations around culture and the creative economy.”
Mokaná Malambo Dario Miranda, Communications Coordinator in the Atlántico Department, said: “We want to thank you for this equipment you have given our people today. The support provided doesn't only cover the means of producing audiovisual content, but also the tools that make visible what defines us. We have a history, but the way to make it visible all over the world is through media productions. We no longer have excuses, we have the necessary equipment, we will bring our story and the way we tell our stories to a very large audience”.
Colombia has a wide ethnic diversity of indigenous, Afro and other peoples with special protection status, with indigenous people making up about 4.4% of the country's population.
TİKA and AMEXCID Provided 10 Tons of Humanitarian Aid Materials to Haiti

miraclefeet offers a variety of ways to donate and help treat clubfoot one step at a time.
Population: 200 million
Poverty Levels: 38 million living on $2 a day or less
Estimated cases of untreated clubfoot: 30,000
Priorities include support for clubfoot clinics in the Northeast, including Maceio, Sao Luis, Fortaleza and Belem
miraclefeet works in Brazil due to its large population, stability, and commitment to public health. Despite incredible economic growth, Brazil is still a country of great socioeconomic inequality with very high poverty rates and large numbers of untreated clubfoot.
miraclefeet launched its first program in October 2010, partnering with Dr. Laura Ferreira and her clubfoot clinic team at the Hospital Universitario de Universidade de Sao Paulo (HU-USP) in Sao Paulo, Brazil, due to population in Sao Paulo and Dr. Ferreira's excellence in the Ponseti Method. With miraclefeet support, braces are provided for all families, increasing retention rates. Based on capacity and population, miraclefeet projects that 100 children will have been treated in HU-USP by the end of 2012. Working together with Dr. Ferreira, miraclefeet is expanding its network in Sao Paulo in order to build capacity to treat the estimated 230 children born each year with clubfoot in Sao Paulo.
Dra. Patricia Moreno has recently established a Ponseti clinic at USP's Instituto de Ortopedia e Traumotologia, located at das Clinicas, South America's largest hospital. miraclefeet will be supporting Dra. Moreno's work with funding for free braces, to increase treatment compliance and alleviate families' financial burden.
miraclefeet has continued to partner with more Ponseti clinics in Brazil, many of which's doctors were trained by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Monica Nogueira, who is a strong advocate for the Ponseti Method in Brazil. Most recently, a partnership has been formed with Hospital Martagao Gesteira in Salvador, Brazil's third-larget city. Because of Salvador's size and location, patients from multiple states attend the clinic, often traveling 8 hours to arrive.
Surgery to treat clubfoot is still prevalent in Brazil. Luckily, there are dedicated Ponseti practitioners scattered around this huge country and they are deeply committed to providing the best care for the children they see, though equally frustrated that their efforts are undermined by a system that pushes many to continue to operate. miraclefeet hopes that by supporting these agents of change and local Ponseti entrepreneurs, we can increase the number of children being treated, improve the quality of care and promote systemic change within the system so that the Ponseti Method becomes the gold standard treatment provided by all public hospitals in Brazil.
Watch the video on Andre. He is fully treated and running around!

Medicare chief says it's time health care caught up to other industries to benefit consumers
The head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said consumers need greater transparency about health-care prices up front. Patients also should have easier access to their records and health data once they have received care. Health officials will take comments on the proposed data access rules over the next two months.

Former Spanish prime minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero has sent a letter to Venezuelan opposition members engaged in talks with the government of Nicolás Maduro, urging them to accept a draft agreement reached during bilateral meetings in Dominican Republic.
Zapatero, who headed a Socialist government in Spain from 2004 to 2011, has been acting as a mediator between the parties along with Dominican president Danilo Medina. The months-long talks broke down after failure to reach a deal on how to organize fair presidential elections in Venezuela.
Zapatero described the deal as “a real and brave hope for the future of Venezuela”
In his letter, Zapatero said that “in a way that was unexpected to me, the document was not subscribed to by opposition representatives. I will not delve into the circumstances and motives for this, but it is my duty to defend the truth, and I am committed to not giving up on the chance to reach a historic agreement among Venezuelans.
“I ask you, with peace and democracy in mind, for your organization to formally subscribe the agreement herein included, now that the government has pledged to scrupulously respect the agreed terms,” adds the letter.
The former Spanish PM writes that his request is a result of his own “deep belief in the need for this agreement and my commitment to see its terms honored.”

Letter from former Spanish head of government José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero to the Venezuelan opposition.
Venezuela will hold presidential elections on April 22. The date was one of the stumbling blocks at the negotiating table: the government wanted to hold them by April at the latest, while the opposition wanted them no earlier than June.
Opposition representatives also demanded a lift on the current ban stopping their own main leaders from running in the election. The main opposition figures are two-time presidential candidate Henrique Capriles and Leopoldo López, under house arrest.
Venezuela will hold presidential elections on April 22
The opposition wants “the immediate legalization in under 48 hours” of the Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD) and of the political parties Primero Justicia (Justice First), which is headed by Capriles, as well as Voluntad Popular (Popular Will), led by López. Both of these parties have been left out of the presidential race by judicial and electoral authorities, which the opposition accuses of being subservient to the Maduro government.
The main negotiator for MUD, Julio Borges, said that his proposals – which included details about international observers, audits, voter rolls and campaigning – are aimed at guaranteeing “free elections,” something that Maduro fears, he said.
In his letter, Zapatero said that the talks in Dominican Republic had led to a basic consensus for a broad agreement that he described as “a real and brave hope for the future of Venezuela.”
Dominican leader Danilo Medina said that talks have entered “an indefinite recess” after the opposition refused to add their name to a draft document signed by Nicolás Maduro, on the grounds that it was insufficient.
International observers at the talks included Bolivia, Nicaragua, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Mexico and Chile. Mexico pulled out after a date was set for the presidential election, while Chile did the same after ascertaining that no agreement has been reached to create “the minimum conditions for a democratic presidential election.”
On Thursday, the European Parliament passed a resolution asking for increased sanctions against high-ranking Venezuelan officials, including President Maduro himself. The chamber also expressed condemnation for Venezuela’s recent decision to expel the Spanish ambassador to that country.

Anytime someone talks to me about cancer, my answer would be the same. I think if I were to get cancer. it would probably be colon cancer. When asked why, my answer is simple, because I’ve got a terrible digestive system. I read somewhere that one of the cause of colon cancer is just that. I also don’t go to the toilet daily and believe me I actually jot down the days that I actually do go, so that I know when to take those Omega tablet. In fact the only time that I really do it daily is when I’m having my menses and I’m guessing the contractions from all that cramps helps somewhat.
Anyway, I found out recently that tests have shown a 40% reduction of colon cancer cells when onions extracts was introduced to the cells. It seems that the onion extract stops the cancer cells from further growth as well. If the extract is not available, eating raw onion would suffice although cooked ones would be helpful.
So, that being said, I just made a plate of omelet and guess what, it’s loaded with onions. Got to kill those colon cancer cells, if there are any!
Thank you for you comments.

The 6/30 edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown drew a 2.4 rating based on the fast nationals. Although there were preemptions for the show last night, it didn't take place in larger markets such as New York and Los Angeles.
Although I'm hesitant to report this since we get conflicting reports all the time out of UK airings of WWE programming, it appears the Sylvan "Ambassador of Quebec" spots have been edited off all airings of SmackDown in the UK.
The Calgary Sun is reporting that ECW is close to getting the air in Canada, but they did not mention a station.

Segways dangerous on the bike path
The rule against motorized vechicles on the bike path is clear and unambiguous. It's also one of the few regulations that is routinely enforced, and for good reason: the margin of safety on the path is already dangerously compromised without the addition of heavier, self-propelled vehicles piloted by unskilled, often juvenile drivers.
Segway probably figures that as a national corporation with a showroom in Santa Monica, they can get away with ignoring laws that, if you are a young weekend visitor to Venice, can get you a moving violation if you dare to venture north of Navy on your rented scooter. If Segway wants to hold sales pitches by the beach for buyers of its pricey gadget, there is a huge, nearly empty parking lot south of Pico that the city is always happy to rent.
As admirable as these vehicles may or may not be (and, personally, I'd be happy see them clogging our streets; but, remember, there are enough questions about their safety for bans to have been considered or imposed in locales as divergent as Toronto, San Francisco and Disneyland), whether or not they are a solution to our commuting woes, they don't belong on the bike path.
Do we come in lower than Old Sturbridge Village?
Municipal broadband is coming...
But is it coming here?
The internet itself was developed using the public's money and, right wing propaganda notwithstanding, the US has a long and successful history of municipal ownership of utilities supplying water, electricity, buses, trains,and other services, continuing down to present-day L.A. Companies like SBC, Verizon and T-Mobile will do their best to undermine these efforts -- SBC recently got monoply control of fee-based wireless access in California's parks and beaches, but they may have a harder time if Arizona Senator John McCain, New Jersey Senator Frank Lautenberg and some of their cohorts succeed in passing legislation they've introduced with the goal of ensuring that cities and counties can provide community-wide broadband should they choose to. The solons want to amend the Telecommunications Act of 1996 in order to prevent state and federal legislative actions, backed by the telecommunications giants, that are aimed at keeping local governments out of the broadband business (just as the big real estate owners were able to get the California state legislature to put an end to local rent control). As many as 14 states have passed laws limiting municipal broadband services, mostly in response to lobbying by the large internet providers.
Why is the City of Santa Monica afraid of an open and democratically accountable development process?
Here is the concluding paragraph of an open letter delivered today by a number of community leaders to assistant Santa Monica city manager Gordon Anderson regarding the public review process for any future proposal for the redevelopment of Santa Monica Place."...We urge the City to adopt a public process that is meaningful and fair and designed to have residents' voices and choices be heard. A meaningful public process is one preceded by a development proposal for Santa Monica Place that clearly shows the height and density of the actual proposed buildings, includes a comprehensive environmental report that accurately assesses the traffic impacts, and includes an accurate financial analysis of the City’s direct and indirect costs and contributions to the proposed development."

Reducing inflammation during menopause can be achieved in a variety of ways. First and foremost, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential. Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, combined with regular exercise, will help to reduce inflammation.
Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight is important, since being overweight can contribute to inflammation.
Making dietary changes to reduce inflammation is also beneficial. Consider limiting processed and fried foods, which can increase inflammation. Eating a diet higher in healthy fats, such as olive oil, avocados, and nuts, can also help reduce inflammation.
Additionally, adding anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric and ginger to your meals can help decrease inflammation.
Herbal supplements and lifestyle modifications can also help reduce inflammation. Supplements like omega-3 fatty acids, probiotics, curcumin, and boswellia can help reduce inflammation. In addition, activities such as yoga, tai chi, and deep breathing can reduce stress, which is an important factor in inflammation.
Finally, make sure to get plenty of rest to reduce fatigue, which can make inflammation worse.
Can menopause cause inflammation?
Yes, menopause can cause inflammation. During menopause, the body’s production of natural hormones is reduced, which can result in an increased sensitivity to inflammation. Furthermore, the decrease in hormone production can also cause changes to the immune system that make it more likely for inflammation to occur.
The combination of increased sensitivities and weakened immunity can result in an increased risk for conditions such as chronic pain, skin irritation, and arthritis, all of which are caused by inflammation.
Furthermore, menopausal women may also experience decreased energy levels, joint pain, and a general feeling of being unwell, all of which can be symptoms of inflammation. Finally, research has also shown that menopausal women are more prone to infections due to changes in the immune system and increased inflammation.
In summary, menopause can indeed cause inflammation, and the risk is increased with age. Taking steps such as maintaining a healthy diet and getting regular exercise can help to reduce menopause-induced inflammation and its associated symptoms.
What hormone triggers inflammation?
Inflammation is a response in which the body’s immune system recognizes something foreign, most often a pathogen, and begins to defend itself by triggering a rush of white blood cells to the affected area.
The hormone that triggers inflammation is cytokine, which is a type of inflammatory mediator. Cytokines are produced and released by cells in response to various external and internal stimuli, such as microbes and other microorganisms, allergens, immune responses, and even trauma.
Cytokines aid in the amplification of the inflammatory response, activating more white blood cells and other components of the immune system to arrive at the site of the infection. They also help to reduce the severity of the infection or injury by promoting healing, and increasing the production of hormones that can help to regulate the body’s metabolism and reduce inflammation.
In short, cytokines play an important role in the body’s inflammatory response, enabling it to mount an effective defense against pathogens and other foreign substances.
How long does menopause inflammation last?
Menopause related inflammation can last anywhere from two weeks to several months, though it generally does not last much longer than six months. The duration of the inflammation will depend on the individual, the severity of the symptoms, and whether the woman is taking any medications or using any lifestyle changes to help manage the symptoms.
As menopause itself is a natural biological process, inflammation can vary from woman to woman, and is unpredictable when it comes to severity and duration.
It is important to note that, due to the inflammatory changes that occur during menopause, a woman may experience pain, discomfort, and reduced range of motion for some time after her periods have stopped.
Therefore, it is important to take preventative measures, such as engaging in regular exercise and eating a balanced diet, in order to help minimize the inflammation. Additionally, considering the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be useful in managing symptoms of menopause related inflammation, as well as other menopause symptoms.
It is recommended to consult a doctor in order to discuss what type of HRT would be best suited for the individual situation.
Does menopause feel like arthritis?
No, menopause does not feel like arthritis, as the two are two completely different conditions. Menopause is a natural biological process that happens in all women over a certain age, and is marked by a decrease in hormones such as estrogen and progesterone.
This decrease can lead to a variety of physical and psychological symptoms, such as hot flashes, insomnia, irritability and mood swings. Arthritis, on the other hand, is a condition characterized by joint pain and inflammation.
Its causes can be due to a variety of factors, such as genetic predisposition and environmental factors. Its symptoms include joint pain and stiffness, swelling, redness and difficulty in movement. As can be seen, the symptoms of menopause and arthritis are very different and don’t feel the same.
How long does it take for your body to adjust to menopause?
The length of time it takes for a woman’s body to adjust to menopause can vary from individual to individual, but typically it takes about four years for the transition to be complete. During this period, there are dramatic changes in a woman’s hormones and body chemistry that must occur in order to reach the new state of menopause.
This process is called perimenopause and can last anywhere between one and ten years depending on the individual.
During the perimenopause phase, women typically experience irregular menstrual cycles, increased occurrences of hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal dryness, sleep disturbances and increased/decreased libido.
Once the body completely adjusts to the new balance of hormones, these and other perimenopause symptoms will begin to fade and menopause will reach its full effect.
It is important to note that although menopause is a natural process, there are steps that women can take to reduce the severity of their symptoms and speed up the adjustment process. Some of these steps may include: eating a healthy, balanced diet; keeping active; pursuing relaxation techniques; reducing or eliminating the use of alcohol and tobacco; and discussing hormone therapy with a healthcare professional.
Additionally, it is key to be aware of the signs that may indicate a more serious health issue, such as heavy bleeding, severe bone aches, or excessive weight gain.
In general, it is important to remember that everyone’s experience with menopause is different, and the time it takes for your body to adjust can also depend on lifestyle habits, emotional hygiene, and other factors.
What inflammation is associated with menopause?
Menopause is associated with a number of changes in the body, including increased inflammation. Inflammation is a physical response to something in the body, such as an infection or injury, when the body’s immune system releases compounds to protect itself from further damage or infection.
During menopause, the levels of hormones such as estrogen and progesterone drop sharply, and this can cause an imbalance that makes the body prone to inflammation. This is why inflammation is associated with menopause.
Inflammation during menopause is often a response to something that is not considered a threat to the body, such as low levels of estrogen or changes in biochemical components of the menstrual cycle.
Many of the symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flashes and night sweats, are actually due to increased inflammation. Other symptoms of menopause-associated inflammation include persistent fatigue, headaches, joint pain, and difficulty sleeping.
The risk of developing chronic inflammation increases with age, and menopause is often considered the “gateway to aging”, so inflammation during menopause is inevitable for most women. Although it cannot be prevented, there are things that can be done to help manage inflammation and reduce menopause symptoms, such as getting regular exercise, eating a healthy diet, and managing stress levels.
Additionally, hormone therapy or natural supplements can also help reduce inflammation and manage menopause symptoms.
Does menopause joint pain ever go away?
The answer to whether menopause joint pain ever goes away depends on a number of factors including a woman’s age, the underlying cause of the joint pain, and any lifestyle changes that are implemented to reduce symptoms.
Generally, the hot flashes, night sweats, and other classic menopause symptoms tend to diminish over time as a woman’s body adjusts to the changing hormone levels. However, joint pain caused by menopause can linger for much longer, especially if the pain is caused by other conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, or osteoporosis.
In some cases, joint pain can last for months or years after menopause begins. For example, symptoms of osteoporosis, a condition in which bones become fragile and porous, may only become noticeable in the years after menopause.
Treating the underlying condition can help to reduce joint pain and stiffness associated with osteoporosis.
In other cases, making lifestyle changes such as resting, exercising, and supplementing with natural replacement therapies such as soy can also lessen menopause joint pain. Wearing loose-fitting clothing, avoiding caffeine, and making dietary changes can also reduce discomfort.
It is recommended to talk to a doctor to determine the best course of action when it comes to managing menopause joint pain and other symptoms.
How do I balance my hormones and reduce inflammation?
Balancing your hormones and reducing inflammation is an important factor in overall health. Making lifestyle changes can help to balance your hormones and reduce inflammation.
Start by eating a healthy and balanced diet that is rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats such as nuts and seeds. In addition, try to limit or avoid processed and fried foods, as well as added sugar, refined grains, and trans fats.
It is also important to practice mindful and stress-reducing activities like yoga, meditation, and walking. Taking time to relax or practice yoga can help to reduce stress hormones like cortisol, which can interfere with balanced hormones.
Exercise is also important for reducing inflammation, as it helps to reduce stress and can help to balance hormones. Getting at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity each day can help you reach your goals in reducing inflammation and balancing hormones.
Finally, you may want to consider natural supplements to help with balancing hormones and reducing inflammation. Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D3, vitamin B12, probiotics, and adaptogenic herbs are all beneficial for this purpose.
Speak to your healthcare provider to discuss which supplements may be best for you.
Does estrogen fight inflammation?
Yes, estrogen has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. Specifically, estrogen can reduce levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which are molecules that play a role in activating the inflammatory response in many diseases.
Additionally, estrogen can reduce the number and severity of inflammatory responses to bacteria and other pathogens, as it has been found to downregulate immune responses, in addition to increasing the expression of anti-inflammatory molecules.
Interestingly, a recent study also found that estrogen can influence the body’s anti-inflammatory response to allergens, suggesting it could help protect against allergic reactions. Finally, another study involving obese women found that when given estrogen therapy, they exhibited decreased inflammation overall compared to women without the therapy.
Therefore, there is evidence to suggest that estrogen can reduce inflammation and may even have protective effects on the body.
What are hormones with a strong anti-inflammatory action?
Hormones with strong anti-inflammatory action refer to a category of hormones that reduce inflammation and promote healing. These hormones generally have the ability to modulate cytokine levels, inhibit production of pro-inflammatory molecules, and promote regeneration.
Examples of hormones with strong anti-inflammatory action include glucocorticoids such as cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), estrogens, androstenedione, and testosterone. Glucocorticoids are hormones released by the adrenal gland in response to stress and play an important role in inflammation by blocking cytokines like interleukin 1, interleukin 2, and tumor necrosis factor-α.
Estrogens are female sex hormones produced in the ovaries, while androstenedione and testosterone are male hormones produced in the adrenal glands and testes. These hormones work to reduce inflammation through their roles in suppressing the expression of inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 1, interleukin 6, and tumor necrosis factor-α.
In addition, melatonin has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory action by reducing the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Melatonin is a hormone mainly produced in the pineal gland, which is responsible for regulating the body’s sleep-wake cycles.
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is also an example of hormone with strong anti-inflammatory properties as it regulates the release of glucocorticoids from the adrenal gland. ACTH is produced in the pituitary gland and it stimulates the production of cortisol, which acts as an anti-inflammatory mediator.
Overall, hormones with strong anti-inflammatory action can play an important role in mitigating the symptoms of inflammation. The hormones differ in their mechanisms of action but all play a critical role in the regulation of inflammation in the body.
How do you know if your estrogen is too low?
Particularly in women. These include irregular or absent menstrual cycles, hot flashes and night sweats, low libido, vaginal dryness, mood swings and depression, sleep disturbances, brain fog, and decreased bone density.
A blood test from your doctor can be used to accurately measure your estrogen levels and determine if they are too low. They can also recommend lifestyle changes or medications to help optimize your hormone levels.
Additionally, if you are experiencing any concerning health symptoms, it is best to contact your doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
What are the symptoms of inflammation menopause?
The most common symptoms of menopausal inflammation are hot flashes, night sweats, and fatigue. These occur because the body is no longer producing enough hormones such as estrogen, which helps regulate the body’s temperature.
Hot flashes during menopause cause sudden waves of heat in the body, often accompanied by sweating and an increased heart rate. Night sweats are periods of time, usually at night, when one experiences excessive perspiration due to a rise in body temperature.
Fatigue is a very common symptom of menopause and can be caused by the hormonal changes, stress, insomnia and other lifestyle factors. Other symptoms of inflammation during menopause include mood swings, low libido, vaginal dryness, joint pain and digestive issues.
Additionally, women going through menopause can have weakened immunity, leading to increased risk of infection and inflammation.
Why am I getting inflammation all over my body?
Inflammation can have many causes, and it is important to identify the source of the inflammation in order to properly treat it. Common causes of inflammation all over the body can include infection, allergies, autoimmune conditions, and exposure to environmental toxins.
Infections – Bacterial and viral infections can both cause widespread inflammation, which often leads to fever, fatigue, and body aches. Depending on the type of infection, there are various treatments including antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, and antiparasitic medications that can be prescribed.
Allergies – Allergies may cause a body-wide reaction with inflammation in the skin, joints, and other tissues. Allergy testing can help to determine the allergen causing the reaction and the use of antihistamine medications, allergy shots, and allergy proofing your home may help to provide relief.
Autoimmune Conditions – Autoimmune conditions are illnesses in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own healthy tissue, causing inflammation. There are a variety of treatments available, including medications that suppress the immune system, medications that target specific cells, and lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet and exercise.
Exposure to Environmental Toxins – Exposure to environmental toxins, such as certain chemicals and pollutants, can cause inflammation throughout the body. Avoiding these toxins and drinking plenty of water to flush them out of your system can help to reduce the inflammation.
If needed, your doctor may also prescribe medications to reduce inflammation.
In any case, it is important to seek medical advice to properly identify the cause of your inflammation and to begin the most appropriate treatment.


You’ve agonised over the right time to give your child a phone and taken the plunge. Following closely behind this comes the inevitable request to allow them to sign up for social media accounts, such as Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook before the minimum age of 13.
For many parents, this is approached with trepidation with media, and anecdotal and personal experiences generating concern about issues such as hurtful posts, cyberbullying, privacy and the ease at which sexualised content can be accessed.
It’s sometimes easy to miss the positive stories about the majority of teens who use social media respectfully, responsibly, safely and love being connected to their friends in these digital playgrounds.
Social networking sites such as Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat appeal to people of almost every age category. What this means is that these sites are not uniquely tailored to meet the needs of any specific demographic: they aren’t necessarily ‘kid friendly’.
When an app is made with a specific demographic in mind, the rules are much more clear-cut. If an app is intended for children under the age of 13, the app creators will view it as their responsibility to make it as safe as possible for children: there should be no unmoderated chat functionality, no public location sharing, and no inappropriate content (e.g. gambling) being promoted within the app.
According to the Office of the eSafety Commissioner, “both the physical age of your child and their level of maturity and resilience can impact their ability to handle social media, but as a rule, each social networking site and app has its own criteria for minimum age requirements. Some services cater to more adult audiences (i.e. dating sites).”
Another reason that many social media sites have a 13-year age requirement is to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), which “prevents collection and storage of personal information from children under 13 years of age”.
Before letting children set up social media accounts the eSafety Commissioner encourages parents to reflect on the following:
- Is your child able to withstand negative online experiences?
- Does your child understand the importance of protecting their personal information?
- Does your child understand how privacy settings for social media work?
- Does your child understand what is safe to share online?
- Does your child know how to report cyberbullying and other kinds of abusive content?
- Is your child willing to let you establish clear rules and supervise their social media activity?
For further advice about each of these questions visit the Office of the eSafety Commissioner. Are They Old Enough?
Social media can be used to drag people down, but it can also be used to lift people up. The key to keeping children safe on social media is, therefore, to encourage, educate, and empower them to do the latter. Because, when used safely and constructively, social media can be an incredible asset to young people as they begin to learn about the world and their place within it.

Venice Design Week - Scala Contarini Museum (San Marco 4303) dal 6 al 14 ottobre.
Frank&Frank, born by the experiences of Roberto De Gregorio and Marcella Molinini (graphic designer and fashion designer). The works of this parters show a mix of their different skills connected by an adventure that led them to explore city maps. Always curious and passionate they develop this project to transforming cartography into artworks, to reinterpret city maps in a urban key and opening new perspectives to see the places where we live.
Saturday October 13th, 2pm, will be possible meet the Frank&Frank’s designers at the Scala Contarini’s Bookshop
F&F city maps are reinterpreted incising the leather with laser; each city is a geometric work which allow a meeting between daily life and art. They are manually signed (hot stamp with terrestrial coordinates) with experience and passion, to make each numbered piece, unique and unrepeatable. All leathers have own history and a beauty to show, they are carefully recovered from different parts of the world.

Patatissima Milano 6-10 giugno 2018
SkinCities reinterprets the rules of cartography by re-reading urban patterns; the cities’ maps tell our culture and history, as witnesses of what we are.The project wants to restore equal dignity to the places of the Earth, provocatively combining the places where we live in, as wells as those we have dreamed of, hated, or even forgotten... each of them in its precious and desperate diversity.
Cultures, labyrinths and different spaces where the “skin colour” on which they are laser cut becomes just a pleasant opportunity. The leather used has very different origins, sometimes chosen for some “imperfections”, thus enhancing the beauty of diversity, respecting the life they have been, just like the places they represent. Engraved with laser technologies and manually initialed with the land coordinates.

Having the ability to effectively communicate is an important part of a person’s overall existence. Being able to listen and speak is part of the foundation that allows people to communicate with one another. However, there are times when an elderly person finds it difficult to hear clearly. As a family caregiver, you might have noticed the elderly person in your life has issues communicating. However, there are some tips you can use to help your elderly loved one enhance their communication skills.
Determine If It’s Hearing Loss
The first thing you need to do to help your elderly loved one is to determine if their hearing loss is due to a health issue or if it is something else. Some symptoms that are generally associated with hearing loss include the following:
- Hard to hear others during a conversation
- Difficulty hearing people speak during a phone call
- Frequently hear hissing sounds throughout the day
- Needing to have the television turned way up
- Your loved one has to ask others to repeat themselves
- Having difficulty hearing sounds when there is background noise
If your elderly loved one is experiencing any of these symptoms, it is best to have them contact their doctor to rule out medical reasons for their hearing loss.
See a Professional
If your elderly loved one has hearing loss, it is best to have them see a professional. Their doctor can help determine the cause of their hearing loss. Many doctors prescribe hearing aids to help their patients who have hearing loss. However, some elderly people are reluctant to use these. If your elderly loved one is shying away from a hearing aid, you might want to explain to them that technology has improved considerably over the years. Most hearing aids on the market are more effective, less obtrusive, and modernized to meet the needs of elderly people.
It is important to understand that in some circumstances hearing loss is so severe that hearing aids won’t be effective. In these types of situations, a doctor might recommend other types of treatments.
How to Help Your Elderly Loved One with Their Hearing Loss
The most important thing you can do for your elderly loved one who is experiencing hearing loss is to provide the best care possible. This includes being patient and empathetic with them. We all know that it can be frustrating trying to communicate with someone who has hearing loss. However, it is just as frustrating, or even more, for the person with the hearing loss. If you remain patient and stay calm it can reduce the stress of the situation. It can also help your elderly loved one know that their hearing loss isn’t the end of the world.
There are many things you can do for your elderly loved one who is experiencing hearing loss. Encourage them to speak to their doctor about their hearing issues, be patient with them, and stay calm.
If you are considering elderly care in West Memorial, TX, for an aging loved one, please call the caring staff at At Your Side Home Care. We will answer all of your senior care questions. Call today: (832) 271-1600.

The BrExpats project team builds on the longstanding writing collaboration between Dr Michaela Benson and Professor Karen O’Reilly.
Dr. Michaela Benson is the project lead and a sociologist based at Goldsmiths, University of London. She is renowned for her work on British migration, and has been conducting research and writing on this topic since the early 2000s. In 2011, she published her book The British in Rural France with Manchester University Press, which was shortlisted for the British Sociological Association’s Philip Abrams Memorial Prize (2012). Based on research with Britons living in the Lot, France, it demonstrates how the pursuit of a better way of life is constitutive of migration and everyday migrant lives; with a focus on imaginations, home and belonging, the book reveals the various ways in which British identities are made anew in this rural French landscape.
Professor Karen O’Reilly is the Professorial Research Fellow on the project. Through her research on British migrants living in Spain in the 1990s, she set the agenda for the sociological study of British migration. This work, published as The British on the Costa del Sol (2000, Routledge) is one of the best known books about this population and dispels many of the myths about Britons living abroad. She has continued her research with this population, and has more recently been complementing this with research on Britons living and working in Malaysia and Thailand. She is also known for her book International Migration and Social Theory (2012, Palgrave) which won the CHOICE outstanding academic title award.
Both Michaela’s and Karen’s research has been published in academic journals, has featured in national newspapers and on BBC Radio 4’s flagship social science programme Thinking Allowed.

Heavy Bowgun (ヘビィボウガン hebi bougan, "heavy bowgun",重弩) is a weapon category in Monster Hunter World (MHW). Like all Weapons, it features a unique moveset and an upgrade path that branches out depending on the materials used. Please see Weapon Mechanics for details on the basics of your hunter tools.
The bowgun can be used to attack monsters from long range. There are two types of bowgun: the heavy bowgun, which can use powerful ammo, and the light bowgun, which allows for greater mobility and evasive capabilities, and faster shooting.

Heavy Bowgun Guide
The Heavy Bowgun is the artillery of ranged weapons. It specializes in high damage rounds at a range. While it does not have the same special effects of the Light Bowgun, the Heavy Bowgun dishes out damage more reliably, breaks parts faster, and staggers monsters more easily. Like the Light Bowgun, Heavy Bowguns have a modding system available, allowing hunters to customize their weapon slightly, for example by reducing reload times, or providing a limited capacity to guard. Lastly, the Heavy Bowgun has an optimal range for firing. Being too far away from the target will cause shots to do less damage. The optimal range will vary based on ammo, and the crosshairs will glow orange when the monster is in the optimal range.
Using a variety of specialised ammo, the Heavy Bowgun user is also able to act as a proficient support character. Recover, Armor, and Demon rounds can heal and buff allies quickly and at a distance, while status inflicting rounds (especially Sleep and Paralysis rounds) can set a hunting party up for devastating co-ordinated attacks. Because being a dedicated Heavy Bowgun user requires a mastery of inventory management and the crafting system, these hunters are often the ones who bring full arsenals to tough hunts, including barrel bombs and traps.
Movement with the Heavy Bowgun drawn is extremely slow, and the roll, while covering a significant distance, is very unwieldy. This, combined with the frequent need to leave oneself completely vulnerable while reloading, means adept Heavy Bowgun users will need to know when to pick their range as well as their timing, as dodging, countering, and guarding are not nearly as effective as with other weapon classes.
Though primarily a ranged weapon, the Heavy Bowgun's melee attack, while extremely unwieldy, does do reasonable damage and applies stun damage when hitting the monster's head. This will also be used as a mounting attack when used while leaping.
Heavy Bowgun Advantages
- Typically higher ammo capacity and lower recoil compared with Light Bowgun
- Veritable artillery with high damage potential
- Can block if equipped with a shield
- Access to unique, high-damage ammunition types (Wyvern Ammo and Cluster Bomb)
- Highest damage in the game with Spread Lv3
- Unique dodge that covers a lot of distance
Heavy Bowgun Disadvantages
- Slow movement
- Very slow dodge
- Must supply own ammo
- Slow sheathing speed
- Guarding ability is mediocre without multiple shield mods and/or the Guard skill
Attachments are various mods that can be put onto a bowgun to alter its stats. Attachments are free, can be swapped out at any time at the smithy, and can stack. The number of mods that can be put onto a bowgun depends on its rarity rank: Ranks 1 and 2 have one mod slot; Ranks 3 and 4 have two; Ranks 5 to 8 have three; Rank 9 has four; Ranks 10 to 12 have five.
Available mod types:
- Recoil Suppressor: Lowers the recoil when firing. Note that lower recoil also means higher rate of fire, essentially improving damage output. Effectiveness varies with what ammo type is being used.
- Reload Assist: Speeds up reload times. Effectiveness varies with what ammo type is being used.
- Deviation Suppressor: Lowers deviation. Can only be used if the bowgun has deviation.
- Close Range Up: Increases damage at close range.
- Long Range Up: Increases damage at long range.
- Shield: Allows the user to guard incoming attacks.
- Long Barrel: Increases critical range and projectile speed.
- Power Barrel: Increases tick rate for piercing ammo types and stun/exhaust build-up for Sticky/Exhaust ammo.
- Wyvernheart Mod: Replaces Wyvernheart with Wyvernheart Type 2.
- Wyvernsnipe Mod: Replaces Wyvernsnipe with Wyvernsnipe Type 2.
- Special Scope: Allows to equip the Special Scope, which increases damage by 30% when hitting a target at supercritical range.
The Ammo a hunter can use varies with the Bowgun they have equipped. It is also important to note that ammo performance for one model of Bowgun (in terms of shots per magazine, recoil, rate of fire, and reload speed) may perform radically differently on another model of Bowgun. Always check the detailed description of a Bowgun model before investing resources into crafting it!
Each damaging Ammo type has its own Motion Value (MV), which is used when calculating damage. Elemental attacks from Bowguns are subjected to both this and the Weapon type multiplier, and use the Raw Attack value as the starting Elemental value. See Damage Types for more information.
See Bowgun Ammo for a quick list of Ammo Types.
- Normal: Normal Ammo (fires a standard single shot). MVs:
- Lv1: 10
- Lv2: 20
- Lv3: 34

- Tranq: Tranq Ammo (used to capture monsters. Works just like Tranq bombs)
Special Ammo recharges over time. Some can be used before they are fully recharged but to reduced effect. The special ammo a hunter has available is determined by the Bowgun they have equipped. Every Bowgun has only one special ammo.
- Wyvernsnipe: Has one charge, takes 80 seconds to recharge. The hunter lays on the ground and fires of a powerful shot at will. This shot pierces the target, hitting it up to 7 times and then exploding for massive damage. Explosions deal increased damage for further ticks with the following structure: S>S>M>M>L>L>L. They also deal a small amount of Fire damage. MVs:
- Tick: 20
- Small explosion: 38 (blunt damage, cannot crit)
- Medium explosion: 49 (blunt damage, cannot crit)
- Large explosion: 81 (blunt damage, cannot crit)
- Wyvernsnipe Type 2: Has one charge, takes 80 seconds to recharge. Replaces the piercing effect and the explosions with a strong single explosion that triggers after a short time. The damage varies depending on the distance and the hitzone value of the part you're targeting. Cannot crit. MVs:
- Incorrect distance, HZV <30: 81
- Correct distance, HZV >=30: 98
- Incorrect distance, HZV <30: 147
- Correct distance, HZV >=30: 243
- Wyvernheart: Has a charge meter, can be used even if the meter isn't full. Fires bullets continuously until the meter is empty, up to a total of 50 bullets for a full meter. The bullet damage increases the more you hit a target continuously and decreases if you miss the target. MVs:
- Initial: 9
- After 3 hits: 11
- After 5 hits: 12
- After 8 hits: 14
- After 10 hits: 16
- After 12 hits: 19
- Wyvernheart Type 2: Has a charge meter, can be used even if the meter isn't full. Works the same as normal Wyvernheart, except the damage cap is higher, the bullet count increases twice as fast and you get twice the penalty for missing a target. MVs:
- Initial: 9
- After 3 hits: 11
- After 5 hits: 12
- After 8 hits: 14
- After 10 hits: 16
- After 12 hits: 19
- After 15 hits: 21
- After 18 hits: 23

Heavy Bowgun and Guard/Shield blocking mechanics.
Heavy Bowgun has at least 1 shield mod is equiped. (Sword & Shield, Great Sword, Charge Blade, Lance and Gunlance also have block mechanics).
Source of damage is in front arc.
Character is NOT perorming reloading animation, firing animation, stunned animation etc.
Shield mod Guard_angle Light KB Medium KB Heavy KB
1 120 14 20 21+

Gunlance 220 39 49 50+
Each attack has different Knockback_Value.
Full move list can be found in the link.
After blocking the attack:
Knockback_Value is compared to current weapon's Knockback_Threshold, resulting in Light/Medium/Heavy hit.
Character then loses 10/25/40 stamina multiplied by Stamina_Depletion_Modifier.
Not enough stamina - no block, full hit, 100% damage. Otherwise there will be only 0%/10%/20% chip damage, affected by defense.
[Guard Up] allows blocking SOME of otherwise unblockable attacks.
[Guard] skill modifies knockback level and stamina damage.
Guard level Knockback_Threshold bonus Stamina_Depletion_Modifier
1 10 1.00
2 10 0.85
3 20 0.85
4 20 0.70
5 30 0.50
how much damage do you get from close range mod, and does it get less effective the more you use it? (eg: 5 close range mods equipped)
Since it's nowhere stated, what does deviation do?
For people not wanting to play the game.
I like how hbg speedruns are either constant stun locking or some sort of cheese strats all hail end game glass canon meta.
how many shots of slice ammo are required?
Why does this page say "highest damage in the game with spread 3" when heavy bowguns can't fire spread ammo?
I have the heavy bowgun equipped and cluster bomb ammo has an X over it. Why is it disabled?
Does anyone know what gives my hbg a scope (not the laser pointer)? Saw it in a couple of vids but I can't make it appear on my gun. Tried everything out, nothing happened. Only the shield modification becomes visible. Where's the visible scope on my hbg?
Using the HBG makes me feel like heavy.
HBG auto-reloading after knock-downs or weapon drawing, is utter cancer concocted from Crapcom's casual caramel cavern of carnal concupiscence. Some 90% of my OHKO's come from this idiotic, control-circumventing mechanic for morons... Which the Crapclowns 'forget' to fix or given and option for with the Iceborne update. Disgusting.
l m g m o u n t e d a n d l o a d e d
does having 2 or 3 shield mods make a difference in blocking damage?
How to switch special ammo in HBG?
For who are interested in piercing ammo damage, I've a posted on reddit an analysis of the damage dealt on various builds.
I need help knowing which Heavy Bowgun can fire the most types of ammo that gives buffs and heals (Recovery, Armor, Demon, etc.). I play as a support for friends.
Okay so looking through the upgrade trees for both heavy and light i cant see any real reason for upgrades other than damage and extra mods? Am i missing something coz it appears that the upgrades don't give any element boosts or any specific upgrades?
The Wyvernheart bullet damage appears to ramp up as you keep firing, up to double the starting damage. So it's most effective if you can unload the entire bar in one continuous volley.
It takes Wyrmheart HBG 250 seconds to recharge fully (4m 10s). Using lvl 1 focus, which is 5% cdr, it should in theory reduce wymheart recharge by 12.5 seconds making it 237.5 recharge or 3m 57.5 sconds. ~ After test I have concluded that Focus does indeed work with HBG Wyrmheart. I have consistently landed on 3 mins 57 seconds recharge with lvl 1 Focus.
I love what they added for the HBG. Its just so damn badass now. Its everything I've always wanted back when I played the Wii U MH. I love this game!
I see special ammo will regenerate but do you have to pay for most ammo? Is their a similar money/time sink associated with melee weapons?

Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. and Fujitsu Research and Development Center Co., Ltd. of China have been working on an optical technology that can achieve 100Gbps transmission speeds using commercial components intended for 10Gbps networking. The modulation technique they have adopted is Discrete Multi-Tone (DMT), which is widely used in DSL equipment but is not usually applied to optical systems. Details were presented at OFC/NFOEC in Anaheim, California, in March.
The speed that can be achieved with the simple modulation formats in use today is limited, says Fujitsu. In DMT the data is divided into multiple frequency subcarriers (carrier waves), and multi-level modulation is used on each subcarrier to achieve high transmission speeds.
The modulation level assigned to each subcarrier depends on the noise characteristics at that frequency, to enable robust transmission even at frequencies with poor signal-to-noise ratios. An algorithm was developed that checks the receiving conditions between optical transceivers at the time the system is started up and optimizes the power and other variables to suit the transceivers and line conditions.
This “adaptive bit rate allocation” enables transmitters originally designed for lower speeds to be used. For example, some components have the characteristic of not being able to maintain sufficient linearity. These components can be profiled in advance and compensated for, enabling them to be used in the same way as parts that do maintain linearity, according to Fujitsu.
Fujitsu has applied DMT modulation/demodulation using digital signal processing (DSP) to transmit 100Gbps per channel using components designed for transmission speeds of 10 Gbps per channel. Combining four 100Gbps channels, the company then created a 400 Gigabit Ethernet transceiver, which was shown in a transmission demonstration at OFC/NFOEC. 400GbE transceivers are being developed to enable the next generation of data centres.
Fujitsu says it is turning its attention towards more practical applications of optical DMT technology by developing an integrated DMT modem, along with further improvements for using existing components.

What we allow our mind to think about eventually plays out in our life.
Let me give you two examples: When I focus on all that is not right or doesn’t fit with my plans, I turn into a disgruntled person. Blaming others, pointing out flaws, and complaining about everything become normal actions. But when I focus on all God has done for me, how He saved me from hell, restored my marriage, and renewed my heart, I turn into a humble, grateful, and pleasant person. Joy fills the heart and mind.
Thoughts lead to action. Therefore contentment begins in the mind. Renewing our mind is a daily challenge. One must be diligent in providing a constant stream of good, right, and pure thoughts. Jeremiah tells us “the heart is desperately wicked. Who can know what?” Jesus tells us “out of the heart springs forth the issues of life”.
Where do the good, right, and pure thoughts come from? Not from us. God’s word is the only source of good, right, and pure war thoughts. God’s thoughts are higher than ours. His ways are better than ours. Romans 12:2 says to be transformed by the renewing at our mind so we will know the good, acceptable and perfect will of God.
Paul urges us in Philippians 4:8 to meditate on what is true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous, and praise worthy. If our thoughts are fixed on God’s word then complaining, comparing, envy, strife, and self-centered thinking will disappear.
In other places and Scripture we are told to do all things without complaining and disputing. And again were told in everything work as though we are working for the Lord rather than mere men. With our minds firmly rooted in God’s word these things become easier to do.
If we take God’s word seriously and do what we hear it telling us, we will be able to say as Paul did: “I have learned in whatever state I am to be content.” Paul understood where his strength came from when he penned Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Here are a few tips for getting more of God’s word into our mind:
1. Read the Bible daily, even if it’s just a verse or two.
2. I think about the verse you just read. Try to remember it throughout the day.
3. Write the verse down, carry it with you, and stick it where you will see it several times a day.
4. Share the first with someone else.
The more we interact with God’s word for more insight He reveals to us. What are you doing today to get God’s word rooted deeply in your mind?
Dear God, thank you for giving us your truth your word and a life with you. Give us that desire to draw close to you because your work tells us when we do you will draw near to us. In Jesus name we pray these things Amen.

Worse than Even Heartburn By Mrs Vera West
When I come across alarming health news, I feel duty bound to tell readers, because someone might otherwise suffer. This relates to heartburn/GERDS medication, and as usual the disclaimer, this is not medical advice, but just opinion news reporting, but is still worth thinking about, and making up one’s own mind. Sure see a medical professional or two.
“If you suffer from heartburn, you might be willing to do whatever it takes to get relief from the discomfort – but if you’re taking heartburn medication, you could end up experiencing something far worse: severe kidney damage. That was the finding of a new study carried out by researchers from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The study, which was published in the journal Kidney International, discovered that the problem was quite widespread, with more than half of the 125,000 patients taking PPIs developing chronic kidney disease despite not having any signs of acute kidney problems. PPIs, or proton pump inhibitors, are a category of drugs that are among the most commonly prescribed for dealing with acid reflux and heartburn. Some of the brand names you might know them by include Prevacid, Nexium, and Losec. There is an especially worrying component to the issue. Normally, chronic kidney disease is preceded by a sort of “flash flood” warning in the form of acute kidney injury. This is an episode of kidney damage or failure that comes on suddenly within just a few days or even hours of the trigger. Doctors normally monitor patients who take PPIs for early warning signs – such as swelling in the ankles, feet, or legs; nausea; and decreased urination – and take patients off the drug right away should they occur. However, this study has found that this “warning” isn’t happening in many cases and patients are going directly into full-blown chronic kidney disease.”
Kidney disease? No thanks, I have enough health problems to worry about.
