My eyes fling open at the sound of my alarm blaring throughout the darkness of my room. The air is chilly, groaning, I grab the blankets, pull them up to my shoulders and roll onto my side.
“Ellie! Your bloody phone!” I hear my housemate yell from her room next to mine. I sigh angrily before dragging myself out of bed.
I’m usually a happy person, I would wake up every morning thankful to be alive but this morning? This morning I wake up in the dark place that I have spent months crawling out of. Standing in the shower, I find myself wishing for a way to end this constant pain and miser. Leaning my body against the wall, the water raining down my body and I start to cry. The feeling that I’m not good enough fills my chest, my body goes numb and I sink to the floor. I clasp my hand over my mouth to muffle the sound when I hear noises coming from the kitchen.
In my room, I stare at my reflection. I decided to wear a bright floral dress and have my hair up in a messy ponytail. On the outside, I look good, I look happy but on the inside, I’m battling a war that I’m constantly losing. I’m torn between the desire to live life to the full and the desire to end it and let everyone that I care about move on without me holding them back.
I’m at the table eating breakfast when I realise how quiet this house is, I think about the silence and I feel alone. It’s not that I don’t have people who love and care for me, it’s as the saying goes, ‘I could be surrounded by a million people and still feel like I’m the last person on earth.’
“Good Morning Ellie.” My housemate’s voice startles me. I smile up at her. I don’t trust myself to speak yet, afraid that I’ll say something that will offend her so instead I wash up my dishes and head back to my room.
I hear my phone chime, slipping my feet into my shoes, I look at the screen. It’s a message from him, he’s telling me to have a good morning, such simple words make me feel a small sense of happiness. “It might be a good day after all.” I whisper. Checking the time and I curse loudly. I’m running a few minutes late. Beginning to panic, I grab my bag and phone before running out the door.
The street is bustling with people on their way to work. Someone runs into me and apologises but I don’t notice, my phone has chimed again, I laugh as I read the message. Who knew that you could make your inner darkness flinch with the mention of someone’s name. when it chimes again, my head springs up. I smile at the familiar figure walking towards me. He’s a tall, brown-haired man, with a smile to die for. He reaches me, pulls me in and hugs me tightly. Hugging him makes me feel less alone, less empty on the inside.
We pull apart and he cups y face with both hands, my hands instinctively grab hold of his as he kisses my lips softly. Despite out differences, out inner demons and our own personal darkness, I love him and he loves me. We accept each other’s flaws and complement each other in so many ways. I can slay my demons, as long as he is by my side. Why you ask?
Because this beautiful man is my safe haven.


(ST. JOSEPH, Mo.) A recent high school graduate from St. Joseph is spending his summer helping people who are battling cancer by mowing their lawns for free.
Shane Maddox created a post on Facebook offering the lawn-mowing service for free.
"I was mowing my mom's co-worker's yard two days ago and it just dawned on me when I was like I just thought to myself how can I impact other people's lives," Shane Maddox said.
He says he wants to show people that there is still good in this world.
"Even if I don't know them personally, it's just me showing them that someone is out there and there is still kindness in the world that seems pretty dark," he said.
Shane says the reason for wanting to give back this way hits close to home. His father, Ricky Maddox, beat small cell throat cancer a few years ago.
"My dad showed me perseverance when he went through it, so then I instantly knew in my mind that I knew [how] the struggle is and how it affects everyone," Shane Maddox said. "I wanted to make an impact.
Shane's father says that he is happy to see his son giving back like he is.
"I was proud of him," Ricky Maddox said. "People don't know what cancer is until you go through it and for him to do this, it's amazing."
Shane says that he will also mow people's yards without cancer for payment and that he will donate 50 percent of what he makes to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, which is a cancer treatment and research center in New York.
"We are doing it so they don't have to pay anyone to do it and I can show them that there is someone out there who cares," Shane Maddox said.

What is Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy?
The pelvic floor is a very important part of the core and the functioning of the entire body. Similar to spasms and weakness in other muscles, we can also experience this in the pelvic floor muscles. This can cause pelvic pain, pain with intercourse and bladder incontinence to name a few issues. Addressing both the flexibility and strength of these muscles is very important for full recovery and can provide freedom from pain and discomfort for many patients.
Who can benefit from Pelvic Floor Physical therapy?
Patients with various pelvic floor issues including but not limited to:
- Urinary incontinence
- Pelvic muscle spasm
- Pelvic floor dysfunction
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Ejaculatory Pain
- Pre and Post Prostatectomy
- Diastasis Rectii
What is a typical treatment session?
Pelvic floor physical therapy may involve a number of different treatment strategies. Before getting started a therapist will perform flexibility and strength assessment as well as an internal and external muscle assessment. Once an assessment has been done treatment sessions regularly include functional exercises that are designed to train the pelvic floor and core for a greater quality of life.

Enchanting is one of the most useful skills you can learn in Minecraft. You can enchant a variety of your items, including armor, tools, and even weapons. Doing so will unlock their full potential and additional abilities, giving you an upper hand against the mobs. And as you will learn through this detailed Minecraft enchantments guide, enchanting items isn’t as hard as it might sound. However, if you don’t want to depend upon your tools too much, you can also try the best Minecraft potions. They allow you to upgrade the player rather than just their toolkit. But coming back to the enchantments, we will cover everything you need to know. From enchantment names to how to remove them, our guide to Minecraft enchantments is the only one you will ever need. So without any further ado, let’s dive in.
Almost all of the enchantments included in this guide work on both Minecraft Java and Bedrock editions. We have tested everything in our guide on the Minecraft 1.20 update. So, you can rest assured about compatibility. And to explore a specific topic at your will, use the table attached above.
What are Enchantments in Minecraft
In simple terms, enchanting is a way to upgrade and add abilities to a Minecraft item like your armor, boots, sword, and more. An enchantment can not only give your item new features, but it can also push its existing ability to a whole new level. You can use them to mine faster, fight better, and even improve your in-game luck.
The best part is that you can apply any of the enchantments easily. But before continuing our Minecraft enchantments guide, let’s quickly go over how to find items with enchantments already applied to them.
Where to Find Enchanted Items in Minecraft
If you are not in the mood to do manual work of applying enchantments to each of your equipment, you can also obtain enchanted items through the following methods:
- Trading with villagers
- Fishing in oceans and large rivers
- By killing mobs like zombies or skeletons that might be carrying an enchanted item
- In rare Minecraft chests, which spawn in almost every popular in-game structure. Though, the chances of chests spawning with an enchanted item are highest in end cities
- Bartering with Piglins in the Nether
- Bedrock users can also obtain enchanted items by killing vindicators and pillagers in raids.
How to Apply Enchantments to Armor, Boots, and Sword
When your exploration results in nothing, you can choose to manually add enchantments to your items. Minecraft offers two ways to apply enchantments in the game. And with our Minecraft enchantments guide, you can understand each of them individually.
1. Using Enchanted Books
Enchanted books are spread throughout the Minecraft worlds. You can trade with librarians or loot chests to find them. This type of villager is the most reliable source of enchanted books and usually the main attraction of the villager trading halls. If there’s an enchantment, there’s definitely an enchanted book for it. Not to forget, some enchantments can only be applied through an enchanted book.
All you need to use these books is to combine them with the item you want to enchant using an anvil. Doing so only costs experience orbs, which are easy to collect. If this method interests you, dive deep using our tutorial on how to use enchanted books in Minecraft.
2. Using Enchanting Table
At the core of our Minecraft enchantments guide is the Enchanting table. Just like a crafting table in Minecraft, this table is used to craft in-game recipes. You only need the item you want to enchant and lapis lazuli. Using these two items, the Enchanting table presents all the possible enchantments you can apply to it. It shows up to three enchantments at a time, as shown in the screenshot below.
Comparatively, this method is easier than using an anvil as there’s no exploration involved beyond looking for lapis lazuli. And if you have read our Minecraft 1.19 ore distribution guide, it isn’t that hard to come across. That’s why, to keep things balanced, Minecraft has made many enchantments, like soul speed, exclusive to enchanting books. But if the table still attracts you, you can quickly make an Enchanting table in Minecraft using our linked tutorial.
What is Enchantments Language in Minecraft
If you choose to use the enchanting table in Minecraft, you might encounter text in the SGA script. It’s a popular symbolic language that many video games use. Even though it doesn’t hold any real function in Minecraft, it still has an interesting story attached to it. You can find all about it and learn how to read Enchanting table language using our linked guide.
A Complete List of Minecraft Enchantments
Now that you know the basics behind enchanting, we can move on to the actual enchantments. To keep it simple, we have created a table of all in-game enchantments in Minecraft. You can use it to learn what that enchantment does along with its maximum levels. But if you don’t want to read about each of them, use our list of best Minecraft enchantments to learn about some of the coolest upgrades and abilities.

While we have listed all the enchantments that exist in the game, you cannot use many of them alongside other enchantments. So, make sure to follow our next section thoroughly before jumping into the game. Moreover, if the lists above look confusing to you, read our in-depth articles on some of the best enchantments for swords, tridents, and more linked here.

Conflicting Minecraft Enchantments You Should Know About
As you might have noticed already, there are many enchantments that you can apply to the same item. But at the same time, some of the enchantments can have contradicting effects. To tackle that, Minecraft has a set of conflicting enchantments. You can apply them at the same time, but only one of them will function. Let’s go over some common conflicts in the Minecraft enchantments guide:
- You can’t apply two or more of the same enchantment on a single item.
- Multiple types of protections can’t be applied on the same item. However, you can apply unique type of protection enchantment to each part of your armor.
- You can’t apply infinity and mending on the same bow.
- Damage based enchantments are conflicting to each other.
- Silk Touch and fortune can’t be applied to the same item.
- Depth Strider and Frost Walker can’t be applied to same set of boots.
Differences in Enchantments on Minecraft Java vs Bedrock
It’s unfortunate that even after a decade of existence, both versions of Minecraft are still far from equal. Because of that, you have to face some differences in enchantments as well. None of them are groundbreaking and won’t affect the majority of the Minecraft enchantments guide. But here are the difference you can expect:
- Sweeping edge enchantment only exists in Java edition.
- Fire Aspect can be used to light TNT, candles, and campfires but only in the Bedrock edition.
- Protection enchantment reduces damage from magic attacks in Java edition.
- Trident with impaling causes damage to any wet mob, not just aquatic mobs in the Bedrock edition.
- Sharpness causes higher damage in the Bedrock edition.
- Soul speed changes the player’s field of view in Java edition.
- Trident with riptide can cause damage to multiple enemies in the Bedrock edition.
- Helmet with respiration also decreases the chance of drowning damage in Java edition.
How to Level Up Enchantments in Minecraft
As you already know, depending upon the enchanted books you find, you can apply different levels of enchantments through an anvil. But, if you want higher levels of enchantments, you need to use an Enchanting table and follow these steps:
1. The rarity and levels of enchantments on the Enchanting table depend upon the bookshelves around it. You can place a maximum of 15 bookshelves to level up the offered enchantments. But first, you need to craft bookshelves using 3 books, 6 wooden planks, and the following recipe.
2. Once you have enough bookshelves, you need to place them around your Enchanting table. Players usually create walls surrounding the table to keep it simple. You can place more than 15 bookshelves too, but they won’t affect the enchantment levels.
3. If you don’t have enough time to make bookshelves, you can enchant books using the enchanting table to get lower-level enchantments. Then, you need to combine the two lower-level enchanted books using an anvil. It will result in creating a higher-level enchanted book that you can apply to your item. You can also combine an already enchanted item with the same enchantment‘s book to level it up.
Do keep in mind that you can’t level up an enchanted item with a lower level of enchantment if you are using an Enchanting table. To level up an item’s enchantments after placing bookshelves around your table, you need to disenchant your item first.
How to Remove Enchantments in Minecraft
Now that you know how enchantments work, it’s time to understand how to remove them. It can be for leveling up the item or removing a wrong enchantment. Fortunately, Minecraft makes it simple to remove an enchantment. You just need to place it on a grindstone.
Grindstones are a common in-game block that you can use to repair and disenchant items. All you need to do is place your enchanted item in the grindstone, and that’s it. You can then pick up the disenchanted item from it. To dig deeper into disenchanting, you can use our guide on how to remove enchantments in Minecraft. Keep in mind that you can’t remove Curse of Binding and Curse of Vanishing in any way.
With that, you are ready to explore and make the most out of all the in-game enchantments. Our Minecraft enchantments guide is here to help you learn about the enchantments one at a time. You can bookmark it to keep coming back and digging deeper. But if enchantments don’t feel enough, the best Minecraft mods are always here to have your back. Though, you need to install Forge in Minecraft to run them. Even if Minecraft didn’t have such a variety of enchantments, Minecraft biomes are enough to keep you entertained. But that’s a story for another guide. Now, don’t waste a moment more and start enchanting!
Frequently Asked Questions
The greatest enchantment is the mending enchantment. Although it doesn’t provide you with OP buffs or abilities, it allows you to repair every single one of your armor pieces, tools and weapons with XP. This way, it saves a whole ton of resources that would have been used to craft new gear. Moreover, it makes sure you can keep some treasure items, like the trident, and continue using them forever.
The treasure enchantments are the hardest to get, since you cannot obtain them through the enchanting table. Those include: mending, frost walker, soul speed, swift sneak and curse enchantments. Out of these enchantments the hardest one to get is swift sneak, because you first need to locate an ancient city and also get lucky and find the enchanted book in the chest.

Hundreds of rights activists including priests and nuns hold a demonstration to pressure the government to arrest the masterminds behind the Easter Sunday attacks in Negombo on July 21. (Photo supplied)
Hundreds of human rights activists held a demonstration to pressure the Sri Lankan government to arrest the masterminds behind the 2019 Easter Sunday attacks.
Catholic priests and rights defenders took to the streets in Negombo on July 21 to demand the government carry out investigations in a transparent manner.
Father Rohan Silva, executive director of the Center for Society and Religion, said 27 months have passed but no satisfactory investigation has been carried out into the attacks.
"Despite the report of the Presidential Commission recommending that certain matters be reinvestigated, the government is about to file cases in the court without concluding investigations. Please take the investigations in the right direction so that we can find the masterminds and ensure that we will get justice,” he said, adding that the country is in danger if the masterminds are not found.
A group of nine suicide bombers affiliated to local Islamist group National Thowheed Jamath targeted three churches and three luxury hotels on Easter Sunday 2019, killing at least 279 people including 37 foreign nationals.
The government has denied any lethargy in carrying out the investigations and says nearly 700 people have been arrested and that it is ready to take legal action.
President Rajapaksa said he would bring all these criminals to justice within two weeks of coming to power
Catholic bishops sent a letter to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa last week requesting he give a credible answer to their questions within one month. They also called for fresh inquiries to find the whereabouts of key figures linked to the attacks.
Thousands of Catholics nationwide attended Sunday Mass dressed in black and protested against the lack of justice for the Easter Sunday victims in March.
One of the banners displayed by protesters asked why the masterminds and the conspiracy have been covered up.
Herman Kumara, convener of the National Fisheries Solidarity Movement, said President Rajapaksa had asked for power to re-establish national security in the country.
"President Rajapaksa said he would bring all these criminals to justice within two weeks of coming to power. Now we ask you to fulfill the promise you made to the people. If the government does not do so, it means that people are still insecure. We have serious doubts about these investigations,” Kumara said.
Marian Pradeepa from Janawabodaya Kendraya said the main platform used by the government to come to power was the Easter Sunday terrorism.
"We urge the government to do justice to the victims of the Easter Sunday attack that was used to gain power," she said while holding a banner with other demonstrators.
Meanwhile, Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith of Colombo recently called on security agencies to conduct investigations into the alleged import of about 6,000 swords by a group of people near the time of the terror attacks.
….as we enter the last months of 2021, we are asking readers like you to help us keep UCA News free.
For the last 40 years, UCA News has remained the most trusted and independent Catholic news and information service from Asia. Every week, we publish nearly 100 news reports, feature stories, commentaries, podcasts and video broadcasts that are exclusive and in-depth, and developed from a view of the world and the Church through informed Catholic eyes.
Our journalistic standards are as high as any in the quality press; our focus is particularly on a fast-growing part of the world - Asia - where, in some countries the Church is growing faster than pastoral resources can respond to – South Korea, Vietnam and India to name just three.
And UCA News has the advantage of having in its ranks local reporters who cover 23 countries in south, southeast, and east Asia. We report the stories of local people and their experiences in a way that Western news outlets simply don’t have the resources to reach. And we report on the emerging life of new Churches in old lands where being a Catholic can at times be very dangerous.
With dwindling support from funding partners in Europe and the USA, we need to call on the support of those who benefit from our work.

Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is the Technical Assistance section of the law that covers Public Accommodations and Public Facilities. The 2010 Standards for Accessible Design, which contains the new requirements regarding pool lifts, was adopted September 15, 2010, but compliance is not required until March 15, 2012.
Title III does not apply to residential facilities; however, it covers places of public accommodation within residential facilities. Thus, areas within multifamily residential facilities that qualify as places of public accommodation are covered by the ADA if use of the areas is not limited exclusively to owners, residents, and their guests.
Do mobilehome parks have to have ADA compliant pool
Generally, swimming pools in mobilehome parks are not defined as a place of public accommodation and therefore do not fall under ADA requirements for pool lifts. However, if a mobilehome park opens up their pool to the public (e.g. water aerobic classes are offered to the general public), then ADA pool lifts would need to be installed. RV parks are open to the public and therefore would be required to have pool lifts in their pools.
The following illustrations show how a swimming pool in an apartment complex or a manufactured housing community would be considered “public” under ADA.
ILLUSTRATION 1: A private residential apartment complex includes a swimming pool for use by apartment tenants and their guests. The complex also sells pool “memberships” generally to the public. The pool qualifies as a place of public accommodation.
ILLUSTRATION 2: Water aerobic classes are held by the local Veteran’s club at a manufactured housing community pool. Individuals that are neither residents nor guests of residents are allowed to attend. This pool may qualify as a place of public accommodation.
If your community’s swimming pool can be defined as a public accommodation, the following ADA pool lift requirement applies:
“All pools larger than 300 linear feet of pool wall perimeter need at least two accessible means of entry, one of which needs to be either a pool lift or a sloped entry. The secondary means of entry can be either a lift or sloped entry, or pool access stairs, transfer system, or transfer wall. Pools with less than 300 linear feet of pool wall perimeter need one accessible means of entry, either a pool lift or sloped entry. Spas need one entry, which can be either a pool lift, transfer system or a transfer wall.”
You can read more background information on these ADA requirements below.
September 15, 2010 Federal Register
“SUMMARY: This final rule revises the regulation of the Department of Justice (Department) that implements title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), relating to nondiscrimination on the basis of disability in State and local government services. The Department is issuing this final rule in order to adopt enforceable accessibility standards under the ADA that are consistent with the minimum guidelines and requirements issued by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board), and to update or amend certain provisions of the title II regulation so that they comport with the Department’s legal and practical experiences in enforcing the ADA since 1991. Concurrently with the publication of this final rule for title II, the Department is publishing a final rule amending its ADA title III regulation, which covers nondiscrimination on the basis of disability by public accommodations and in commercial facilities.”
ADA Title III Technical
Assistance Manual Covering Public Accommodations and Commercial
See section III-1.2000 Public accommodations.
Regulations Implementing Title II and Title III
“Title III prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in the activities of places of public accommodation (businesses that are generally open to the public and that fall into one of twelve categories listed in the ADA, such as restaurants, movie theaters, schools, day care facilities, recreational facilities, and doctors’ offices) and requires newly constructed or altered places of public accommodation—as well as commercial facilities (privately owned, nonresidential facilities like factories, warehouses, or office buildings)—to comply with the ADA Standards. 42 U.S.C. 12181B89.”

NCB Alleges That Aryan Khan Was Active In The Drug Chain:- Bollywood Superstar Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan was arrested in a drug case and he is under judicial custody. The court granted judicial custody for 14 days and the bail hearing of Aryan Khan came today. The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) submitted the copies and proofs for the court in connection with the case. The NCB strongly argues that all the arrested should not be granted bail as they are related to the case. Anil Singh, the highest Central law officer of Maharashtra is representing NCB. The Narcotics Control Bureau state that there are solid WhatsApp proofs to say that Aryan Khan was active in the drug chain.
The primary investigation also said that Aryan used to procure contraband from Arbaaz Merchant. The NCB argued that Aryan had a strong role in the procurement and distribution of the drugs. The NCB investigation also said that Aryan Khan has been in touch with several people abroad who are related to the International Drug Network. A total number of 20 people are arrested in relation to the case and drugs are seized in huge amounts. The raids continued in Mumbai after the arrest of Aryan Khan and others. Aryan Khan along with seven others have been nabbed from a cruise across the coast of Mumbai on the evening of October 2nd.

PycnogenolPycnogenol is the branded name for an extract sourced from the bark of the French maritime pine tree. It is supplied exclusively by Natural Health Science (Hoboken, NJ) in North America, and by Horphag Research (Geneva), the exclusive worldwide supplier of the ingredient. Pine bark extract is regarded as a powerful antioxidant, containing highly concentrated amounts of bioflavonoids and active compounds.
Pycnogenol is the branded name for an extract sourced from the bark of the French maritime pine tree. It is supplied exclusively by Natural Health Science (Hoboken, NJ) in North America, and by Horphag Research (Geneva), the exclusive worldwide supplier of the ingredient. Pine bark extract is regarded as a powerful antioxidant, containing highly concentrated amounts of bioflavonoids and active compounds.
Pycnogenol has been subject to extensive clinical and pharmacologic studies over the past 40 years, according to Horphag Research. It has been used in a variety of nutritional products and is widely used in beauty drinks in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Now, Pycnogenol is being seen more often in topical beauty products such as Derma-e (a natural personal care brand) and Perricone MD’s Pigment Correct line, which contains both a supplement and a cream.
When taken orally, Pycnogenol affects the body’s vascular system, improving the skin’s natural detox process by enabling the faster exchange of toxins with oxygen and nutrients. Pycnogenol also binds to collagen and elastin proteins in the body, inhibiting their degradation by fighting free radicals. (Free radicals can destroy healthy skin cells and increase the rate of cell aging.)
“Unlike most other organs, the skin’s dermis layer is constantly regenerating as old cells in the epidermis are shed and replaced by new ones,” explains Frank Schonlau, PhD, Horphag’s director of scientific communications.
“This continuous cell division requires nutritional components for generating new skin cells. A lack of these nutrients will immediately result in a noticeable roughness on the skin’s surface. Active ingredients such as those in Pycnogenol that improve the performance of the vascular system and blood microcirculation bring visible benefits to the dermis,” he says.
When used in a topical formulation, Pycnogenol provides substantial anti-inflammatory and photoaging effects. It also supports renewal of collagen fibers, promoting firmness and elasticity, according to Schonlau.
“The topical supply cannot compensate, however, for a suboptimal ‘supply chain’ of nutrients from within,” says Schonlau. “Only a healthy level of microcirculation will improve the look of your skin, so it is important for a topical product to be used with an ingestible.”
Testing has shown Pycnogenol’s measurable effect on the body. Within half an hour after consumption of a single dose, improved vasodilation was evident in test subjects, says the firm. Microvessels at the root of the fingernails were dilated, and sensors registered increased levels of oxygen in the blood.
BioCell Collagen II
In 2007, BioCell Technology created a cosmetic-grade, water-soluble version of its BioCell Collagen II ingredient. BioCell Collagen II CG-WS is a water-based solution that can be incorporated in creams, lotions, and serums.
As a dietary ingredient, BioCell Collagen II has been sold by BioCell Technology since 1997 as a powder that can be incorporated in capsules, tablets, and soft-gel formulations. A taste-free version can also be used in liquid products. The proprietary ingredient is featured in the functional beverage supplement Jusuru Life Blend, which launched in 2009 and claims to promote healthy aging, active joints, and younger-looking skin.
The ingestible and topical BioCell Collagen II formulations are supposed to work synergistically when taken as a two-part regimen. Benefits include delaying or minimizing the effects of both natural and UV-mediated skin aging by preventing dehydration, dermal shrinkage, and the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.
BioCell Collagen II CG-WS contains hydrolyzed collagen peptides, depolymerized chondroitin sulfate, and hyaluronic acid in a naturally occurring matrix, created by a patented process.
“This natural matrix of functionally essential components replenishes age-related loss of the skin dermal matrix, helping regain volume, turgidity, and suppleness,” says Joosang Park, PhD, BioCell’s vice president of scientific affairs. “Many independent studies have shown that hydrolyzed collagen peptides help maintain the integrity of the skin’s dermal collagen network, which is critical in maintaining the tensile strength of the skin.”
The supplier’s own studies have shown that BioCell Collagen II inhibits hyaluronidase-the enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid from the skin as well as from the joints. Hyaluronic acid is important because it helps the skin maintain moisture levels; however, it breaks down as we age, causing the skin to lose firmness and elasticity, which leads to wrinkles.
According to the supplier, studies have shown that when ingested, the body effectively absorbs the hyaluronic acid in BioCell Collagen II. “The concentration of hyaluronic acid in the body increases its concentration in the blood by about sixtyfold,” says Park.
Sanguisorba officinalisextract is a popular ingredient widely used in beauty products in Japan. In the United States, brands such as Dermafina and SkinCeuticals have used it in skin care products.
The source of the extract is the Sanguisorba officinalisplant, which is widely used throughout Asia. Its dried roots have been used to treat burns, internal hemorrhages, and inflammation. Studies done in Korea have shown that it also helps many types of allergic skin diseases, including urticaria, eczema, and allergic dermatitis.
Draco Natural Products (San Jose, CA) introduced Sanguisorba officinalisextract this year for use in topical formulations, to provide moisturizing and antiwrinkle benefits. “It’s very likely that this extract would have ingestible beauty benefits as well, since it is rich in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds that could reduce irritation and inflammation that causes wrinkles and damage, says Brien Quirk, Draco’s director of research and development.
There are no clinical studies that prove sanguisorba’s benefits to the skin when ingested, but herbal practitioners agree that its astringent qualities may tonify internal tissues, says Draco.
Studies do verify the extract’s effectiveness when used topically, says the company. When ziyuglycoside I is isolated from Sanguisorba officinalisroot extract, testing showed it could be used as an active ingredient in cosmetic products. Sanguisorba reduces the enzyme elastase, which breaks down elastin and collagen elasticity to help reduce or prevent wrinkle formation.
“After testing, there was a noticeable benefit with the use of the botanical versus the control in the Korean study,” says Quirk. The extract’s antiwrinkle effect on the skin was visually evaluated during studies on volunteers that had been using it for 12 weeks. Testing showed very high levels of free radical scavenging and elastase inhibition activity, showing that the extract had a significant inhibitory effect against aging.
Lipowheat is a new ingredient supplied exclusively by P.L. Thomas in North America. It can be used in oral and topical applications. It is a natural wheat ceramide, derived from a vegetable protein. (All traces of gluten have been removed, so it is non-allergenic.) One nutricosmetic product that contains Lipowheat is already on the market. Others, including a supplement and a sunscreen, will be launching soon.
Lipowheat is the only source of natural ceramides on the market with New Dietary Ingredient (NDI) status. “This is a huge deal because most ingredients are rejected for this status due to a lack of studies demonstrating safety and effectiveness,” says Alda Brandao, product manager, nutricosmetics, P.L. Thomas.
Ceramides are a family of lipid molecules that support the integrity of the skin’s surface and its barrier properties by maintaining hydration and elasticity. Ceramides also offer protection against age-related deterioration and environmental factors, while protecting the skin’s fibroblasts, which manufacture collagen and elastin in the body.
The corneal layer of the skin is composed of keratinized, fused, flat cells bound together by lipids. “When the skin’s lipid concentration decreases, we can experience dryness or roughness that can be linked to winter weather or the aging process,” says Brandao.
Since 2007, three different studies have shown that Lipowheat supports healthy skin hydration when taken orally. Clinical test results have indicated that after taking 200 mg/day of Lipowheat powder orally, skin hydration significantly increased and dryness noticeably improved.
Other tests demonstrate Lipowheat’s ability to hydrate topically. “In vitroresearch has also indicated that Lipowheat is a versatile topical cosmetic that protects and hydrates the skin,” Brandao.
Cococin, supplied by Sabinsa Corp. (East Windsor, NJ), is the freeze-dried liquid endosperm of green, or immature, coconuts. The supplier uses a patented lyophilization process to produce a stable composition, while retaining the actives that are present in coconut water. These actives include sensitive nutrients and growth factors. The solid form produced by this process protects the protein components and actives during the pulverization process. Once a powder is formed, its crystalline state keeps these components stable.
“Cococin has demonstrated benefits for both internal and topical use,” says Shaheen Majeed, marketing director, Sabinsa.
Cococin contains all the nutrients and growth factors needed to support the growth of the coconut plant embryo. “Therefore, it also supplies nutrients to our cells-in our skin and on our scalp-to support healthy skin and hair,” says Lakshmi Prakash, PhD, vice president of innovation and business development, Sabinsa. “It is often used as a nutrient medium to grow cells in the laboratory,” she adds.
The concentration of sugars, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that Cococin contains supports hydration of the skin and scalp, according to the supplier. “A placebo-controlled clinical study with a topical cream containing Cococin showed significant benefits in maintaining skin elasticity and texture,” says Prakash.
Cococin was first launched in 2002, but perhaps a larger demand for coconut-related products is just beginning. Sabinsa has been seeing increased interest in Cococin, especially for functional foods and nutraceutical applications. Coconut water beverages are also becoming increasingly popular now. “We’ve been speaking to some companies looking to formulate ‘anything coconut,’” says Prakash.
Pomegranate, one of the first antioxidant superfruits to become well recognized by consumers, is still being used in beverages, supplements, and skin care products.
Murad’s facial skin care brand Vitalic Regimen includes pomegranate cleanser and pomegranate moisturizer. Murad also markets Pomphenol Sunguard Dietary Supplement, which contains 100% pomegranate extract in capsule form. The product claims to increase sun protection and fight signs of premature aging by providing protection against free radicals. The supplement is marketed as part of Murad’s Sunguard brand, which features pomegranate in all of its other topical sun-protection products.
Draco Natural Products has been selling its pomegranate extract since 2004. According to the supplier, studies have shown that topical application of pomegranate extract can stimulate new skin cell synthesis, while pomegranate’s effects on skin whitening have been shown from both topical and ingestible applications.
Yumberry and Honeyberry
Juice made from the Asian superfruit yumberry has become more frequently spotted at retailers such as Whole Foods Market for a couple of years now. Yumberry has been called a powerful antioxidant that helps neutralize the effects of free radicals to promote balanced, smooth skin-and it is also being used in cosmetic products.
Last March, Stila Cosmetics launched a lip and cheek stain, Yumberry Crush. Victoria’s Secret Beauty features the superfruit in its personal care products, including a body wash, scrub, and lotion. Murad uses the popular ingredient in its skin care line, Clean Scene, which launched in July. The line is marketed to teens, and all of its products contain yumberry extract, claiming to provide a smoother complexion.
Draco Natural Products supplies yumberry extract, along with a new superfruit that launched this year, Honeyberry. Also called Blue Honeysuckle Berry, this superfruit-native to the arctic tundra, Russia, Japan, and China-contains organic acids and five times more antioxidant compounds than blueberries.
Research has shown the fruit’s ability to protect skin cells from UVA free radical damage, which leads to skin aging. Studies in which human cells were exposed to UVA radiation showed that compounds in honeyberry protected keratinocytes (the cells in the outermost layer of the skin) against the oxidative degradation of lipids and the formation of free radicals. “The extract of honeyberry at low concentrations could be effective in protecting against advanced aging and skin cancer development,” says Draco’s Quirk.
Honeyberry is available for use now in topical applications, but ingestible beauty benefits are also likely in the future, once proper testing is done.
When you were a child, your mother may have applied Aloe vera to soothe your skin. This age-old favorite remedy is now supported by clinical studies that demonstrate aloe’s specific benefits to the skin.
In 2009, a clinical study published in the Annals of Dermatology; Seoul, Korea, vol. 21, no. 1, tested the antiaging skin effects of oral intake of Aloecorp Inc.’s (Lacey, WA) Aloe vera gel. The trial studied 30 healthy female subjects over the age of 45. Subjects were separated into two groups. For 90 days, one group supplemented with a low dose of aloe (1200 mg/day), while the other group received a high dose (3600 mg/day).
Skin health was measured at the start of the study and then again at the conclusion of the study. Facial wrinkles were measured using a skin replica. Skin elasticity was measured by what the researchers call an in vivo suction skin-elasticity meter. Skin samples were also taken. The researchers found that facial wrinkles improved significantly in both groups after treatment, and that facial elasticity improved in the lower-dose group.
“The paper showed that our aloe can tighten the skin in as little as one hour,” says Ken Jones, vice president and chief science officer for Aloecorp.
Clinical studies like these are helping provide the evidence of aloe’s efficacy-and convincing more skin care companies to get on board. Aloecorp says last July, a client used its Aloe verain a topical/oral combined regimen.
“The benefit of using the topical and oral form together is that you get the immediate effect with the topical, and over the long term, you get wrinkle reduction and increased skin elasticity with the supplement,” says Jones. “You get the full benefit while doing both.”
It’s important to source aloe from a reputable supplier, says Aloecorp. “We’re the only company that promotes our product based on efficacy studies performed on our ingredient,” says Jones. “Many aloe ingredient suppliers use third-party literature and try to connect research that was done at an academic institution on aloe materials that were developed in the laboratory, grown out in their gardens, and then processed in the facility. But Aloe vera ingredient suppliers all manufacture their ingredient by different processes.” Aloecorp’s Qmatrix patented processing method of polysaccharide preservation helps retain the aloe’s freshness and biological activity.

Tragedy in St. Louis: Circuit Attorney's Office Assistant dies in car accident
An assistant at the Circuit Attorney's Office in St. Louis, who worked in the office of Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, passed away on Wednesday night after a crash on Interstate 270.
A crash report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol confirmed the death, identifying the victim as 32-year-old James Heitman.
"He was an extraordinary young man, always professional, and this is a terrible loss. My condolences to his family," said Judge Scott Millikan.
Heitman was assigned to the Serious Crimes Unit and Millikan's division.
Channel 5 On Your Side obtained an email sent to all judges that said, "ACA James Heitman was tragically killed in a car accident tonight. Please keep his entire family in your prayers."
Gardner issued the following statement regarding Heitman's death on Thursday morning:
"I am shocked and saddened to announce that one of our dedicated ACAs, Mr. James Heitman, died in a car accident last night. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and his CAO family at this tragic time."
The crash occurred around 5:15 p.m. on Wednesday on Interstate 270 southbound near Interstate 55. Four vehicles were involved.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, a GMC Acadia, a Chevrolet Malibu, and a Chrysler Aspen in the second right lane slowed down due to the traffic in front of them. Heitman, who was driving a Toyota Camry, changed lanes from the right lane to the next one where the other vehicles were. The report indicates that he did not see that the traffic had slowed down in front of him, causing him to crash into the back of the Aspen.
That caused the front of the Aspen to collide with the rear of the Malibu, which in turn caused the front of the Malibu to collide with the rear of the Acadia. The Malibu, Aspen, and Camry caught fire after the impact.
Heitman and the Aspen driver were taken to a local hospital, where they were treated, but Heitman died from his injuries. The Aspen driver suffered minor injuries.
Southbound lanes of the highway were closed for hours while agents investigated the accident. The highway has since been reopened.
The Saint Louis University School of Law confirmed that Heitman attended the institution and graduated in 2018.
In summary, this tragic car accident in St. Louis claimed the life of James Heitman, an assistant at the Circuit Attorney's Office. The crash report revealed that Heitman changed lanes and did not realize that the traffic had slowed down, resulting in a collision with other vehicles. The impact caused fires in several of the involved cars. Heitman and the driver of another vehicle were taken to the hospital, but unfortunately, Heitman did not survive. Authorities closed the highway to carry out the corresponding investigation. This tragic loss has left the St. Louis legal community in shock, and numerous condolences have been expressed to Heitman's family and colleagues.

I've eaten here twice, the last today and the first just over two years ago and my, how has it gone downhill. Where before the menu had large hearty meals made with produce from the market it has now fallen into what appears to be little more than a high quality tourist trap.

Paris, Sep 24: Leaders Paris Saint-Germain saw their advantage cut to one point after recording a goalless draw at Montpellier without injured star Neymar while Lyon and Dijon combined for six goals to take one point apiece in Ligue 1 football tournament.
Neymar missed PSG’s trip due to his minor foot injury on Saturday, but the world’s most expensive player was expected to feature in next Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League group match against Bayern Munich, reports Xinhua news agency.
PSG felt a huge impact from Neymar’s absence as they could not create scoring chances against Montpellier’s successful defensive tactics.
The 18-year-old newcomer Kylian Mbappe forced goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte into a brilliant save in the 47th minute, PSG’s first shot on target.
It was the first time that PSG have dropped points this season following six victories in a row. Their margin over defending champions Monaco was cut to one point. Monaco crushed Lille 4-0 on Friday.
Lyon broke the deadlock on 20th minute thanks to Nabil Fekir’s fifth goal of the campaign, but the lead only lasted four minutes as Naim Sliti successfully converted the spot kick.
The two sides combined for four goals in a 15-minute span in the second half, commenced by Dijon midfielder Xeka in the 52nd minute. Houssem Aouar coolly slotted home from Kenny Tete’s cross from the right wing and helped Lyon tie the match at 2-2.
Forward Mariano Diaz put Lyon ahead with his fifth league goal fron the 12-yard spot in the 63rd minute, but that was erased by Cedric Yambere’s header in a free kick two minutes later.
With one more match played, Bordeaux went up to third position following their 3-1 home win against Guingamp.
Elsewhere on Saturday, Caen edged Amiens 1-0 and Metz lost to Troyes 1-0.


On 13th April 2022, the second Green Forum - newly expanded to include Kilcock - was held in the New School of Education Building, Maynooth University. The key focus of this forum was on brainstorming and connecting around ideas for climate projects and the upcoming Climate Innovation Fund (CIF) - (now open for applications here!).
The Maynooth & Kilcock Forum started off with an exciting overview of one overview from Kevin Mullen of Climate Response Ireland on his innovation that was awarded funding from the CIF in 2020 before Covid.
Kevin Mullen, Climate Response Ireland, Celbridge
Dr. Jim Carolan of Maynooth University then gave an overview of the Maynooth Green Campus and invited people to join the committee.
Dr. Jim Carolan, Maynooth Green Campus, MU
Paula O'Rourke the Climate Action Officer of Kildare County Council then gave a presentation about the upcoming launch of the Climate Innovation Fund.
Climate Innovation - brainstorming session
Following the presentations of information, everyone broke into groups around key themes that they felt were important for climate innovation. Ideas were shared around each of these themes to form the basis for collaboration on projects, and on proposals for the Climate Innovation Fund and other potential funding streams. Participants contributed ideas to one or more theme discussions.
If you are interested in connecting with people around the ideas shared at the Forum, or other ideas, please contact us at email@example.com and we will aim to put you in touch.
The following were discussed: Biodiversity & water; Transport; Emissions reduction; Waste; Community; and Smart Technology. Ideas were discussed and posted under each theme as follows. A member of each theme discussion then explained the ideas shared to the full group.
Community (Pink sheet)
- How do we make community relevant?
- Disaster planning
- Set up community resilience using risk analysis + toolkits
- No time or connections -> Action: Time booking, helping each other.
- Social enterprise -> products + services à try out cargo bikes,
- repair shops
- energy clinic
- Biodiversity garden
- Zero waste shop + café
- Toy + tool swaps
- Problem: lack of engagement + support network -> Solution: Physical climate hub.
- Engagement no time
- Fun street fest
- Employer lead reward -> volunteerism
- Zero waste festival
- Integrate with sports
Biggest issue around community is lack of engagement and support network. Physical climate hub could help with other things on the list such as a biodiversity garden, a zero waste shop + café and a toy + tool swap area. Engagement is a big issue, due to lack of time. Ideas to solve this = make engagement fun (streetfest), have it employer lead so employers get involved in the community. Have rewards and integrate it with sport. We need to analysis risks to prevent disaster in the community.
Biodiversity & Water – (Purple sheet)
- Micro forests.
- Water: Temp measurements + aquatic plant species survey.
- Information points across Maynooth on biodiversity initiatives
-> or codes
-> guide to next station.
- Ponds + water bodies.
- Biodiversity bulb planting for housing estates + common areas around towns.
Install coherent information points around the locality to educate people about the flora, fauna, birds, animals, etc. Could have QR codes so its like a guided tour. Revamp waterways around towns and get more aquatic biodiversity. Forest on roundabouts near local schools, -> scaleable project. Bulb planting around the area.
Transport – (Orange sheet)
- Private bus sharing app/ car sharing app.
- Next bus.
Improved public transport
- Dart to Kilcock?
- Train capacity
- Connect smaller towns
- Cycle to school
- Split books
- Limit school runs
- Walking bus
- Barriers to cycling -> Incentive, Flexibility, E-bikes.
- Sli na Slainte – e.g. 1km distance A -> B or 5km loop encourage exercise
- Bike dock / Rental
The theme was reducing car journeys by using alternative modes of transport. Public transport needs to be improved capacity wise and route wise to connect smaller towns with each other. There is also the need for the DART to go to Kilkock. We also need to break down the invisible barriers of cycling by providing incentives for it, and create safe cycle lanes as there is a huge lack of them today. Cycling to school has to be incentivised as uniforms as school bags are stopping many people from cycling.
Emissions Reduction! (Light orange sheet)
- Community energy
- Management company
- Renewable energy
- Funding / incentives
- SME tax breaks for low carbon towns
- Decarbonization zones
There will be a lot of tension caused by the decarbonization zones because it will see things like a reduction of car traffic. Tax breaks especially for small businesses particularly in retail as they will be the most impacted.
Waste (Yellow sheet)
- Distance to waste centre
- Community knowledge recycling/ repair
- Civic respect
- Bin design
- Food waste
- Repair centres/ cafe / toy library/ swap shop.
- AD/ my UGG
- Circular economy
- Key question: Need vs Want
Could community collection points for waste be introduced to help with the distance of waste centres? The community need to be informed more on how to actually recycle or repair things. Trying to move from linear to circular economy. Bins might have to be redesigned to prevent birds from getting into them and putting the rubbish everywhere. Food waste is a huge issue that can be combatted simply by checking what you already have in your fridge/ presses. AD (anaerobic digestion) you can get a machine called my Ugg that is shaped like an egg and is basically a small anaerobic digestor that creates gas from green waste that can be used to cook food.
Smart Technology (green sheet)
- Using technology to manage data so that we can make decisions based on what we’re looking at. Some of the observations were an app for data on the phone that limits our carbon emissions. An app similar to this tells the user how much carbon they’ve used that day and if they need to stop emitting carbon for the rest of the day. This will allow us to manage our carbon emissions on a daily basis.
- Create “smart houses” by doing things such as putting a timer on appliances such a showers. A reward system can then be put in place to encourage this.
- For community awareness raising, smart technology can be used as a digital notice board that gives citizens information about relevant topics and is interactive.
- An app that tells young people about jobs related to climate change so young people can earn some money and help out the climate. "It gives us young people something to do and allows us to enhance our CV’s for when we are looking for a job in the future." Like Linkedin but for young people.
- A dog poo powered street light system as piloted in other countries. This would reduce the amount of dog poo on the streets, and would also help with the emissions created by the street lights.
At the end of the meeting Prof. Sweeney and Dr. Robert Moss gave news about new Life funding for a project on decarbonising towns and communities. We look forward to the chance to hear more about that at an upcoming Forum! The next date is set for the 25th May.


Today’s game between the Arizona Cardinals and the Tennessee Titans wasn’t only important to Arizona, but New Orleans as well.
With an Arizona Cardinals loss, New Orleans would receive a playoff berth even if they didn’t clinch the NFC South. This game has gone back and forth from the very first whistle of the game, until it looked like Arizona was pulling away in the fourth quarter. The scoring didn’t come until late in the fourth quarter, but the Titans started to fight back which eventually led to the game tying drive with 10 seconds left in the game.
Starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who was once the starter in Buffalo, looked absolutely amazing during regulation of this game. He completed 36 of 57 passes for over 400 passing yards, four touchdown passes and just one interception.
The interception he threw in the fourth quarter was taken to the house for six points by Antoine Cason.
Fitzpatrick was able to find wide receiver Michael Preston on a slant to tie the ball game at 34 all with only seconds remaining in regulation.

NotesDemo tape. The liner notes don't have a tracklisting or any info.
A1 contains elements of Falkenbach's "Homeward Shore". A2 is a cover of Falkenbach's "Skirnir". A3 is a cover of Falkenbach's "Roman Land".
It's possible these recordings are taken from Falkenbach's unreleased 1995 first album sessions and that Vargas is thus, in fact, a different temporary moniker that Vratyas used instead of the Falkenbach name.

best olive oils store
Our olive oil belongs to the category of high phenolic extra virgin olive oil. Olive oils containing > 5mg of phenols per 20g are classified as "health claim" olive oils, which protect blood lipids from oxidative stress.
Based on the results of laboratory analysis, it is revealed that by consuming 20g of our olive oil daily, you intake 27.31mg of phenols or their derivatives.
The phenols in olive oil also exhibit a wide range of biological actions in the human body and demonstrate strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Experimental and clinical studies have shown that phenols contribute to the management of cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and oncological diseases.
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS The daily dose can be taken with 5ml from the 100ml bottle of ELETTRA GOLD. It is recommended to take it on an empty stomach and have a meal after half an hour so that the body can absorb the beneficial phenols.
Furthermore, by adding raw ELETTRA GOLD to Mediterranean-style meals, salads, fish, vegetables*, we can enjoy a wonderful flavor while simultaneously benefiting from its valuable protective properties.
