The Revenue is moving its corporate tax-related calls to two centres in Cardiff and Glasgow, rather than directing them through 14 local offices.
It has come under increasing pressure from professional bodies – including ICAEW and the Chartered Institute of Taxation – in recent years over its service quality, which has deteriorated as the department has had to cope with slashed budgets and massive redundancies. This latest move by HMRC is an attempt to increase efficiency in its phone operations.
David Heaton, partner in Baker Tilly and chairman of the ICAEW Tax Faculty, says the changes should “make it easier for us to get through,” but warned that it could take longer to speak to a person with the necessary technical knowledge. When it announced the changes HMRC said, “if your enquiry cannot be dealt with at this first point of contact, it will be referred to and dealt with by a dedicated operations team, who will contact you where necessary.”
Heaton called for HMRC to introduce agent priority lines (APL) so that you can “get through to someone with a bit more experience who will understand what you want.”
He told economia, “These work like a charm. When you call a contact centre now, if you get through, the person on the other end of the phone is not well trained and can only cope with the script on screen. If you call the APL, you will get through to someone with a bit more experience who will understand what you want.”
He added, “The single biggest issue that all of us have is getting through on the phone.”
Concerns have been expressed that there will be teething problems implementing the changes, which come into effect from 17 September. But HMRC has said that “longer call centre opening hours means our customers will have more flexibility around when they can contact us.
"The overall customer experience will improve with quicker response times and more consistent information.”
Statistics show that HMRC answered 48% of all call attempts in 2010/11 and 74% in 2011/12. Recent research among members of the ICAEW Tax Faculty reveals huge frustrations in dealing with HMRC by telephone, including waits of up to 20 minutes on the employer helpline, 30 minutes on the self-assessment helpline and 80 minutes on the employee helpline.
Last year Paul Aplin, chair of the ICAEW Tax Faculty’s technical committee, told the parliamentary TSC that HMRC’s standards were "simply not acceptable".
Earlier this month chief executive Lin Homer said HMRC will spend an additional £9m this year and up to £25m next year to ensure that the department meets a target of answering 90% of all calls by the end of March 2013.

Improving your Hormonal Health
It not even Thanksgiving yet but I’ve got a homemade pumpkin pie currently baking in the oven. I’m disappointed in myself for giving into my monthly cravings and not just waiting the 2 weeks we have left before Thanksgiving... but I’m super proud of myself for taking it to the next level and baking it all from scratch. I started with the pumpkin!
So lets talk about Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) which has a wide variety of signs and symptoms, including mood swings, tender breasts, food cravings (cue my pumpkin pie), fatigue, irritability and depression. It's estimated that as many as 3 of every 4 menstruating women have experienced some form of premenstrual syndrome. We start to accept that once a month, for a week or maybe only a few days, we feel crabby, frustrated, anxious, bloated.
I’m not sure which syndromes plague you but for me I’ve always been stuck in mood swings, irritability and food cravings. But PMS isn’t really something you have to live with, you can prevent PMS completely naturally. PMS is a symptom of… drum roll please! HORMONES. Well, more specifically, a hormonal imbalance and that imbalance is fixable!
OMG, I know what you’re thinking. Hormones, again! Can’t we just take a pill to fix it all ;) Well let’s face it, “treatments” like birth control either don’t work or are actually the cause of your troubles. Plus they leave you with a ton of unwanted side effects.
No, unfortunately we have to do it the step by step, way. The “from scratch” way. In the end, it will be just like making a pumpkin pie, starting with the pumpkin because it all comes down to hormonal imbalance: too much estrogen and too little progesterone. The cause of this: life riddled with stress, diets, chemicals, and elevated cortisol levels.
How to fix it Hormonal Health?
How do we fix it? Start with making smart choices about what you eat when you’re on your cycle.
Here is your check list:
I can’t stress enough how much this will change your life. I’ve gotten out of two depressions from exercise. My choice of exercise = swing dancing. It can be anything that gets your blood moving, breaks a sweat and leaves you exhausted enough to just pass out the second your head hits the pillow.
Studies show that physical activity can strongly influence hormonal health. It has the ability to reduce insulin levels and increase insulin sensitivity. Insulin is a hormone that allows cells to take up sugar and amino acids from the bloodstream which are then used for energy and maintaining muscle.
Another bonus is physical activity helps boost levels of muscle-maintaining hormones that decline with age. So exercise… keeps you young! If you can’t perform vigorous exercise, try walking regularly as this will still help. Plus we have to work off that Pumpkin pie ;)
2- Stress management
In this day n' age is a must! Two major hormones affected by stress are cortisol and adrenaline, which is also called epinephrine. Your stress hormone is known as Cortisol. It helps your body cope with stress over a long period of time. And have you heard of “fight-or-flight” that’s your adrenaline hormone that provides your body with energy to respond to immediate danger. However today, those hormones are triggered by your life (that report that you should have finished or the road rage driver that cut you off this morning).
The bad news is, if you don’t manage these then it will cause cortisol levels to remain elevated, which may lead to obesity and belly fat. While your elevated adrenaline levels create high blood pressure, rapid heart rate and anxiety. What will help? Exercise or on the more mellow end: meditation, yoga, massage or listening to calming music. Try to devote at least 10–15 minutes per day to stress-reducing activities, even if you don't feel you have the time.
3- Consistent, quality Sleep!
We all know how much sleep changes our day but did you know how it changes your hormones? Poor sleep has been linked to imbalances of many hormones, including insulin, cortisol, leptin, ghrelin and growth hormone.
However it may be even harder to fall asleep during your menstrual cycle because at that time your having fluctuating levels of hormones estrogen and progesterone, which can affect a woman's ability to fall and stay asleep. So if you can’t sleep as well, try keeping your bedroom cool, de-stress before bed (I love meditation tapes.
They seem corny at first but if you just listen to what they are saying, it actually works). Also try sleeping in the fetal position. All in all, maintaining good sleep hygiene on a daily bases will make this week easier all around.
4- Try natural supplements that promote hormone balance
S'moo is specially formulated to help women balance their hormones and has helped hundreds feel relief from PMS.
At the end of a long day, as you’re eating that fresh pumpkin pie, it’s important to remember that your hormones are part of every aspect of your health. Hormonal imbalances can causes a lot of health problems and even though aging among other factors can set them off balance, the steps above can put you on the right track again.
Consuming nutritious foods, exercising on a regular basis and engaging in other healthy behaviors can go a long way toward improving your hormonal health.
P.S. Here is the pumpkin pie recipe I used. Happy almost Thanksgiving

There is hardly a person in the world today who has not heard of the Canary Archipelago. Its name has long become synonymous with a great holiday; tourists from all over the world come here. One of its largest islands is Lanzarote. It is located in the northeast of the archipelago. It is separated from Africa by one hundred and forty kilometers.
The island is famous for its volcanoes and "alien" landscapes. How did these amazing landscapes appear, as if taking travelers to other worlds? In the 30s of the 18th century, a large number of volcanoes erupted here, as a result, basalt and ash covered about thirty percent of the island's territory. This explains the peculiarities of the local landscapes (for example, the strange color of the soil).
Near the foot of Monte Corona is a volcanic cave, one of the largest in the world. This is a natural monument of amazing beauty.
If you dream of visiting the island, seeing its unearthly landscapes, visiting a volcanic cave, then it is better to have a little information about where to stay.
Municipalities of Lanzarote Island
There are seven municipalities on the island:
- San Bartolomé;
All of them have a constant attraction for tourists, although each of these municipalities is interesting in its own way. Let's tell you more about them.
It is the capital of the island and its most populous municipality. The area of the capital is a little less than twenty-three square kilometers, its population is more than fifty-eight thousand people. The municipality is located in the east of the island. The airport is located five kilometers from it.
The city will be appreciated by shoppers. But there are not only shops here: there are many interesting sights in the city. Among them are an old fortress, the Museum of Modern Art, the wreckage of a British cargo ship (you can have a great photo session there).
It is impossible not to mention the five-star hotel, towering over the blue of the ocean and over the surrounding buildings. The history of the construction of this hotel is interesting. After its construction was almost completed, for a number of reasons, the work stopped for three decades. During this period, the government was deciding what to do with the unfinished hotel; some planned to burn it down, but concrete walls prevented. As a result, the building was completed and today it is one of the most prestigious hotels on the island.
There is a port (passenger and fishing) on the territory of the municipality.
It is a beautiful oasis, the greenery of which contrasts with the surrounding "lunar landscapes". It is located in the northern part of the island. It is often called the Valley of a Thousand Palms. Indeed, there are a huge number of these trees. Other tropical plants can also be seen here.
If you love nature, you may be advised to stay here. The landscapes here are so delightful that you immediately want to capture them - photograph or even draw. There is an observation deck here; climbing it, you can enjoy one of the most impressive views that you have ever seen. You will see the distant islands of the famous archipelago among the blue waves of the ocean.
But the municipality is famous not only for its greenery: there are wonderful beaches, a market where you can buy various food products.
On the territory of this municipality there is a volcanic cave. This is one of the main local attractions.
The municipality is located in the central part of the island. There is a monument to the Peasant, created by one of the famous Canarian sculptors. The monument depicts the average resident of the municipality: agriculture has always played an important role in the life of the local population, this situation has not changed at the present time.
The municipality is one of the largest inhabited parts of the island. Its territory stretches along a magnificent beach.
This municipality is rightfully considered the historical capital of the island. It is one of the oldest cities in the archipelago. If you are attracted by the island's unusual volcanic landscape, this municipality is the place to be. Here you will live surrounded by unearthly landscapes and historical sites.
In fact, the entire municipality is a historical and architectural complex. Walking along its narrow streets, you will see many interesting mansions and monuments. The architecture of many buildings is simple and noble. The houses here are painted white.
One of the most interesting sights here is the cactus garden. Be sure to visit it. This garden was once created by the famous local artist Cesar Manrique. The municipality also houses his residence, which is also one of the artist's masterpieces.
On the territory of the municipality there is an unusual museum "Lagomar". This is the former villa of the actor Omar Sharif, which has now become a museum. The building, like Manrique's residence, can be called an architectural masterpiece without exaggeration.
If you prefer a beach holiday to sightseeing, then you better choose another place to stay. The fact is that the municipality is located at some distance from the coast. However, ten minutes by car - and you will find yourself on a magnificent beach.
On the last day of the week, the municipality becomes a huge fair. In general, there are always a lot of tourists here (the main tourist routes pass here). On the days of fairs, residents of other municipalities come here. Here you can even see those who came for shopping from Africa (as noted above, it is located only one hundred and forty kilometers from the island).
Thus, if you like to be in the center of events, adore the "boiling of life", then the municipality is simply created for you. If you prefer peace and quiet, then it is better to stay elsewhere.
Tias is perhaps the most touristic area on the island. One of the reasons for its popularity is that it is adjacent to the ocean. The local beaches are surprisingly picturesque: volcanic stones blacken on the white sand (however, there are not many of them on the coast).
There is a former fishing village here. It is located near the beaches, five kilometers from the city, which bears the same name as the municipality.
The city will appeal to shoppers: there are a lot of shops. It also has a large selection of good restaurants. The tourist infrastructure of the city is well developed. It will interest history buffs: it is one of the oldest cities on the island. Here you will see many colorful houses, the architecture of which can be called typically Canarian.
But the main thing that attracts tourists to the municipality (in addition to beach holidays) is, of course, the bright, exotic nature, which the locals treat very carefully.
Agriculture flourishes here. To a large extent, this is facilitated by fertilizing the soil with volcanic ash, which retains moisture.
The main attraction of the municipality is the chapel of Saint Dolores. Here she is also called the Virgin of the Volcanoes. According to legend, during the eruption of the Timanfaya volcano, she cried out to God and stopped the destructive element. Since the island has suffered greatly from volcanic activity in the past centuries, the cult of Dolores is considered very important here. She is revered as the patroness of the entire island. Every year in mid-September, pilgrims from different municipalities come to her chapel to pay tribute to her. All of them are dressed in national costumes. This is an impressive sight.
The municipality of Yaisa is located in the south of the island. It (like Tinajo) occupies part of the territory of the national park, which the locals called the "Mountains of Fire".
Virtually all of the landscapes in this area of the island were created by lava and volcanic fire. They make a huge impression on even the most sophisticated travelers. When you see these landscapes, you will have the feeling that you are on another planet. The contrast of red and black earths is impressive. Your eyes will surely be stopped by the combination of red or black with yellow - another unusual feature of the local soil. Once near the green lagoon, you will probably immediately grab your camera. All these landscapes seem unreal, fantastic, as if they were invented by a surrealist artist. That being said, they are undoubtedly beautiful.
Separately, a few words should be said about the local beaches. This is a real paradise for all beach lovers. The local lost coves in many ways still retain their original appearance: once in one of them, you can imagine what this coast looked like several centuries ago.
It should be emphasized that this area is one of the most well-groomed not only on the island, but throughout the entire archipelago. You will appreciate it immediately, as soon as you start walking along the neat, clean streets and see cozy, carefully painted houses, decorated with bright flowers.

Jacob Lief, founder of the Ubuntu Education Fund, came to a conclusion. After raising lots of money and speaking out at high profile events, such as the World Economic Forum in Davis, Jacob realized that their contributions were not changing people’s lives. He also realized why that happened.
Until then, the Ubuntu Fund, headed by board of directors chairman Andrew Rolfe, was accepting money from donors who donated money with a whole slew of limitations. These limitations included on how the money should be used, which children it should go to, and even that the money must be used to advance a certain project or cause that the donor was interested in. The problem was that the Ubuntu Fund was not able to do its job the right way and give the money for the causes that were most important to the children of Africa, where the Ubuntu Fund helps children from disadvantaged communities.
So Jacob Lief, along with the board of directors of the Ubuntu Fund and their chairman, Andrew Rolfe, decided that enough was enough and that they are going to start saying “no” to donors who come with all sorts of stipulations. Instead, they are going to focus on high-profile donors who will donate a lot of money at once and who understand that to donate with stipulations is not worth their time and that it will not help the children the way they need to be helped.
The Ubuntu Fund, headed by chairman of board of directors Andrew Rolfe, works with communities and families to provide help and support to each child individually. They make sure that every child has the ability to access health, education and stability so that they can rise out of poverty.
It’s not easy to find donors who don’t have any personal interests in their donations. Whether they want certain causes and agendas to be carried out or want to have a say in the actual operations of the charity, it is hard. Sometimes, they have experience and can help out. However, it can also lead to tension, especially when they have their own agendas which conflict with the charity’s. So Andrew Rolfe and his board decided to just say no, for the children’s sake.
The banking industry has many types of banks. Several people usually look for a bank that provides their banking services while others have specific types of banks they would prefer. Investment banking is one type of bank that many people would prefer when it comes to banking services.
The structure that is used in investment banks is usually different as compared to many other banking types. The structure of investment banking provides options that make them unique. The services that are provided by these types of banks can sometimes be highly specialized. Therefore, certain clients would look for an investment bank and form a long-term banking relationship.
Types of clients that tend to prefer investment banking are corporations. The structure of investment banking fits perfectly with the needs of large or small corporations. The abilities of investment banks to fit the needs of their clients like corporations are such an ideal situation that clients find appealing.
Martin Lustgarten is an experienced and skilled investment banker. He is a success story worldwide. The investment banker is usually based in Florida but is usually active in many other countries. He has solid banking experience for over twenty years.
Martin was born in Florida in 1959. Florida then had a humble landscape and was not as popular as it is in the current age. Some fifty years ago, Florida was very suburban then and very tropical. There were no wall street influences in that day. Therefore, Martin’s talent was nurtured by personal sacrifice, dedication, and hard work. He was very consistent and kept gave his all in the industry. This made him a better man and very reliable investment banker. Later on, he spent time in Venezuela and Austria. Martin over the years has persistently worked hard to be a remarkable investment banker globally. He has built a great name in the investment banking industry. However, he is a generous man and a great humanitarian who shares his wealth with charities. He values the art of giving back to the community. Therefore, he tries as much as possible to educate and teach people on wise banking protocol.

BWW Interview: Daisy Eagan of THE HUMANS at AT&T PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
Name: Daisy Eagan
Lorens Portalatin: What do you enjoy about Stephen Karam's The Humans?
Daisy Eagan: What I love about THE HUMANS is that in some ways it's a really mundane day - it's Thanksgiving dinner. But of course, with some families there's no such thing as just Thanksgiving dinner, right? Families are complicated and complex and I love that in this play the whole day can happen and you're just like wait what? It can happen so fast - but once it's over you realize how much has gone on. I love that it's really about what we as humans bring to everyday life with all of our baggage.
Lorens Portalatin: As the youngest female recipient of a TONY award, what is some advice you would give artists to pursue a performance career?
Daisy Eagan: It's hard for me to give advice because the way my career started was very atypical for most people. I think the main thing is loving what you do and understanding that what we do takes a lot of work and discipline. Your goal as an actor, professional or not, is to enjoy the work and feel as though you're doing a good job. Our goal as actors should always be to do good work and to be open to learning and studying and be ok that your [education] is never going to end.
Lorens Portalatin: Would you say that you've seen more than most in the theatre world?
Daisy Eagan: I don't know. That's an interesting question. I've seen a different perspective of it than a lot of adult actors getting into [the industry] as adults. As a teacher, I think I have a unique perspective especially when it comes to teaching young performers. In terms of actors, any of us who have been in [this industry] for a long time have seen our fair share.
Lorens Portalatin: What type of shows peaks your interest the most?
Daisy Eagan: Generally, I'm more excited by works of generally modernized voices. I love doing straight plays because I find them to be so different from musicals. It's a different muscle. I really love doing straight plays
Lorens Portalatin: I'd love to hear what made you fall in love with theatre and pursue your career at such a young age.
Daisy Eagan: The idea of getting to play somebody else. My dad was in a play when I was about 8 and I had never really been around it because of money. I was really, horribly bullied in school and I saw my dad in this play and I remember watching him thinking 'Oh, I could be somebody else.' That led to me asking my parents if I could try acting because and it just so happened that I had some talent. I fell in love with the idea of doing theatre then and what made me fall in love with theatre, in general, is getting to be a part of it and build things with other people. What we do is so beautiful and so strange and we're really lucky that we get to do that.
Lorens Portalatin: You're a teacher! What ages do you typically teach and what are some of your favorite teaching moment?
Daisy Eagan: I teach one-on-one audition coaching and acting coaching for younger actors. I've taught all ages and skill levels but I tend to work with kids who are currently auditioning for local theatre, college programs or professional theatre.
Daisy Eagan: My favorite thing to see in students is when they realize that [acting] is really just about listening and responding. When I get them to drop whatever polish they think they needed to put on something and just say the words on the page... that's the most satisfying to me.
Lorens Portalatin: Out of all the roles you've gotten the opportunity to play are there any that you're particularly proud of?
Daisy Eagan: I did a few plays on the West Coast that I'm particularly proud of. I did a play called BE AGGRESSIVE. We did the world premiere at La Jolla Playhouse and I was 21 at the time playing an 11-year-old - I really loved that and I felt really good about that work. Down at South Coast Rep, I did a Christopher Shinn world premiere called ON THE MOUNTAIN when I was 26 - I was playing a teenager... I really like stretching my age limit. And playing Sally in THE WILD PARTY at The Blank. The director gave us a lot of space and leeway to make what we wanted out of that. That was tremendously fun. Those experiences have really stuck with me and will remain with me for the rest of my career.
Lorens Portalatin: Do you have anything lined up after you finish up touring THE HUMANS?
Daisy Eagan: That's always a hard question. I am going to take my son on a camping road-trip cross country. And I actually can't wait for that and then we're going to spend the rest of the summer in New York together. I'm doing a tremendous amount of writing and my comedy partner and writing partner and I have a show called The Brunch of Shame that we're going to put more focus into and we'd like to branch off of that.
They are live Sunday brunch shows that are at the Laurie Beechman in New York.
Lorens Portalatin: If the rest of your career was a choose-your-own-adventure opportunity, what roles might you choose to follow THE HUMANS?
Daisy Eagan: It's funny, I've been leaning more towards writing lately and I'd love to be a writer of a TV show. What's happening on tv nowadays is remarkable - like a new frontier. I love the medium and unlike theatre, it's different all the time and on film, you get to keep going.
Lorens Portalatin: What are some of your most memorable onstage mishaps?
Daisy Eagan: Oh god. So many. In SECRET GARDEN we had a turntable so whenever there is a turntable and sliding doors it's a recipe for disaster. There was a night where the doors didn't open and the turntable went and all the furniture just crashed into it. The next scene was a big dance number and people just had to leap over the furniture. In THE HUMANS, regularly we spill our drinks and have to deal with it in real time. Once in THE SECRET GARDEN, I had the hiccups all through the second act. *laughs* I really love onstage mishaps.
Daisy Eagan - A published, award-winning writer with a loyal and growing audience, Daisy hasn't left her creative talents on the stage. A fierce fighter and activist for women's and LGBTQ rights, she is a rousing voice in political arenas and continues to fight for change throughout her literary career.

In today’s world, where environmental concerns are at the forefront of many people’s minds, it is important to consider the impact of our everyday choices on the planet. One area where we can make a significant difference is in our cleaning routines. By choosing environmentally friendly cleaning supplies, we can reduce our carbon footprint and protect both the environment and our own health. In this article, we will explore the importance of using eco-friendly cleaning supplies, understand the labels to look for when shopping for these products, discuss the dangers of conventional cleaning products, learn how to identify greenwashing, explore the benefits of using natural cleaning ingredients, provide DIY cleaning solutions, discuss sustainable packaging, support ethical brands, and provide tips for reducing overall cleaning product consumption. By the end of this article, you will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to transition to a more environmentally friendly cleaning routine.
The Importance of Choosing Environmentally Friendly Cleaning Supplies
Conventional cleaning products often contain harmful chemicals that can have a negative impact on both the environment and human health. These chemicals can contribute to air and water pollution, as well as harm aquatic life and ecosystems. Additionally, many conventional cleaning products contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can contribute to indoor air pollution and cause respiratory problems, allergies, and other health issues. By choosing environmentally friendly cleaning supplies, we can minimize these negative impacts.
Using eco-friendly cleaning supplies also has numerous benefits. Firstly, they are safer for our health. Many eco-friendly products are made from natural ingredients that are non-toxic and do not release harmful fumes. This is especially important for those with respiratory conditions or sensitivities to chemicals. Secondly, eco-friendly cleaning supplies are better for the environment. They are often biodegradable and do not contribute to water pollution or harm ecosystems. Lastly, using eco-friendly cleaning supplies can save you money in the long run. Many natural ingredients can be found in your pantry and are much cheaper than conventional cleaning products.
Understanding the Labels What to Look for When Shopping for Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products
When shopping for eco-friendly cleaning products, it is important to understand the labels and certifications to look for. These labels indicate that the product has met certain environmental standards and can be trusted to be safe and effective. Some trustworthy labels and certifications to look for include:
This label indicates that the product is made from organic ingredients and does not contain synthetic chemicals or genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
This certification is awarded to products that meet strict environmental standards throughout their lifecycle, from production to disposal.
Products with the Green Seal certification have been independently tested and verified to meet rigorous environmental standards.
This label is given to products that have been evaluated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and deemed safer for human health and the environment.
It is important to note that not all eco-friendly cleaning products will have these specific labels or certifications. However, looking for products that have some form of third-party verification can help ensure that you are making a more environmentally friendly choice.
The Dangers of Conventional Cleaning Products: Why You Should Switch to Green Alternatives
Conventional cleaning products often contain a cocktail of harmful chemicals that can have serious consequences for both the environment and human health. Many of these chemicals are known to be toxic, carcinogenic, or endocrine disruptors. When these products are used and disposed of, they can contaminate waterways, harm aquatic life, and contribute to air pollution.
Some common chemicals found in conventional cleaning products that should be avoided include:
These chemicals are often found in fragranced cleaning products and have been linked to reproductive problems, asthma, and allergies.
This antibacterial agent is commonly found in hand soaps and cleaning products. It has been linked to hormone disruption and the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Found in many glass and window cleaners, ammonia can irritate the respiratory system and contribute to indoor air pollution.
This foaming agent is found in many cleaning products and can irritate the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.
By switching to green alternatives, we can reduce our exposure to these harmful chemicals and minimize their impact on the environment.
How to Identify Greenwashing: Don’t Be Fooled by False Claims of Eco-Friendliness
Greenwashing is a marketing tactic used by companies to make their products appear more environmentally friendly than they actually are. It can be difficult to navigate through the sea of green claims and determine which products are truly eco-friendly. Here are some tips to help you identify greenwashing:
Be wary of vague or general claims like “natural” or “eco-friendly.” Instead, look for specific details about the product’s ingredients and manufacturing processes.
Look for products that have been independently certified by reputable organizations. These certifications provide assurance that the product meets certain environmental standards.
Take the time to read the ingredient list and look for any potentially harmful chemicals. If a product claims to be eco-friendly but contains known toxins, it is likely greenwashing.
Look into the company’s overall commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. If they have a history of environmental violations or controversies, it may be a sign of greenwashing.
By being vigilant and doing your research, you can avoid falling for false claims of eco-friendliness and make more informed choices.
The Benefits of Using Natural Cleaning Ingredients: Safer for You and the Environment
Using natural cleaning ingredients is not only better for the environment but also safer for you and your family. Many common household ingredients can be used as effective and non-toxic cleaners. Here are some benefits of using natural cleaning ingredients:
Natural cleaning ingredients are typically non-toxic and do not release harmful fumes or residues. This is especially important for those with respiratory conditions or sensitivities to chemicals.
Many natural ingredients can be used for multiple cleaning tasks. For example, vinegar can be used to clean windows, remove stains, and deodorize surfaces.
Natural cleaning ingredients are often cheaper than conventional cleaning products. Ingredients like vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice can be found in your pantry and are much more affordable than store-bought cleaners.
Natural cleaning ingredients are biodegradable and do not contribute to water pollution or harm ecosystems. They are a more sustainable choice for the planet.
Some examples of natural cleaning ingredients and their uses include:
Vinegar is a versatile cleaner that can be used to remove stains, deodorize surfaces, and clean windows.
Baking soda is a gentle abrasive that can be used to scrub surfaces, remove odors, and unclog drains.
Lemon juice is a natural disinfectant and can be used to remove stains, brighten surfaces, and freshen the air.
By incorporating natural cleaning ingredients into your routine, you can create a safer and more sustainable home environment.
DIY Cleaning Solutions Simple Recipes for Making Your Own Eco-Friendly Cleaners
Making your own eco-friendly cleaners is not only cost-effective but also allows you to have control over the ingredients you are using in your home. Here are some simple recipes for making your own DIY cleaning solutions:
Mix equal parts water and vinegar in a spray bottle. Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil for a pleasant scent. This mixture can be used to clean countertops, floors, and other surfaces.
Mix equal parts water and rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle. Add a few drops of lemon juice for extra cleaning power. This mixture can be used to clean windows, mirrors, and other glass surfaces.
Mix baking soda with enough water to form a paste. Apply the paste to the inside of your oven and let it sit overnight. The next day, wipe away the paste with a damp cloth. This mixture is a safe and effective way to remove grease and grime from your oven.
Sprinkle baking soda into the toilet bowl, then add vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes, then scrub with a toilet brush. This mixture will help remove stains and deodorize your toilet.
By making your own DIY cleaning solutions, you can save money, reduce waste, and have peace of mind knowing exactly what ingredients are in your cleaners.
Sustainable Packaging: Choosing Cleaning Products with Minimal Environmental Impact
Packaging plays a significant role in the environmental impact of cleaning products. Many conventional cleaning products come in single-use plastic bottles that contribute to plastic pollution and take hundreds of years to decompose. When choosing cleaning products, it is important to consider the packaging and opt for more sustainable options. Here are some tips for choosing cleaning products with minimal environmental impact:
1. Look for refillable options: Some companies offer refillable cleaning products where you can purchase a larger container and then refill it with concentrate or bulk products. This reduces the amount of packaging waste generated.
2. Choose products with minimal packaging: Look for products that come in minimal or recyclable packaging. Avoid products that are excessively packaged or come in single-use plastic containers.
3. Consider concentrated products: Concentrated cleaning products require less packaging and can be diluted with water at home. This reduces the overall environmental impact of the product.
4. Opt for packaging made from recycled materials: Look for products that use packaging made from recycled materials. This helps reduce the demand for virgin materials and promotes a circular economy.
By choosing cleaning products with sustainable packaging, you can minimize your contribution to plastic pollution and support companies that prioritize environmental responsibility.
Supporting Ethical Brands: How to Find Cleaning Supplies from Companies with Strong Environmental and Social Values
Supporting ethical brands is an important way to make a positive impact on the environment and society. When choosing cleaning supplies, it is worth researching the companies behind the products to ensure they align with your values. Here are some tips for finding cleaning supplies from companies with strong environmental and social values:
1. Research the company’s mission and values: Look for information on the company’s website about their commitment to sustainability, social responsibility, and ethical practices. This can give you insight into their overall values and priorities.
2. Check for certifications and memberships: Look for companies that have obtained certifications or are members of organizations that promote sustainability and ethical practices. Some examples include B Corp certification, Fair Trade certification, and membership in organizations like 1% for the Planet.
3. Read reviews and customer feedback: Look for reviews and customer feedback to get a sense of how the company operates and whether they live up to their claims of sustainability and ethical practices.
4. Support local and small businesses: Consider supporting local and small businesses that prioritize sustainability and ethical practices. These businesses often have a smaller environmental footprint and contribute to the local economy.
By supporting ethical brands, you can use your purchasing power to encourage companies to prioritize sustainability, social responsibility, and ethical practices.
Tips for Reducing Your Overall Cleaning Product Consumption: Less is More
Reducing your overall cleaning product consumption is not only better for the environment but also saves you money and reduces waste. Here are some tips for reducing your cleaning product consumption:
1. Simplify your cleaning routine: Evaluate your cleaning routine and identify areas where you can simplify. Do you really need separate products for every surface in your home? Simplifying your routine can help reduce the number of products you need.
2. Use multi-purpose products: Look for multi-purpose cleaning products that can be used for multiple tasks. This reduces the number of products you need to purchase and eliminates the need for specialized cleaners.
3. Use reusable cleaning tools: Instead of disposable wipes or paper towels, opt for reusable cleaning tools like microfiber cloths or mop pads. These can be washed and reused, reducing the amount of waste generated.
4. Practice preventative cleaning: Regular maintenance and preventative cleaning can help reduce the need for heavy-duty cleaners. By addressing spills and messes promptly, you can prevent stains and buildup that require harsh chemicals to remove.
By reducing your overall cleaning product consumption, you can minimize waste, save money, and simplify your cleaning routine.
Making the Switch: How to Transition to a More Environmentally Friendly Cleaning Routine
Transitioning to a more environmentally friendly cleaning routine may seem overwhelming at first, but with a few simple steps, it can be easily achieved. Here are some tips for making the switch:
1. Start small: Begin by replacing one or two conventional cleaning products with eco-friendly alternatives. This allows you to gradually transition without feeling overwhelmed.
2. Educate yourself: Take the time to educate yourself about the harmful chemicals found in conventional cleaning products and the benefits of using eco-friendly alternatives. This knowledge will motivate you to make the switch.
3. Experiment with DIY recipes: Try making your own DIY cleaning solutions using natural ingredients. This not only saves money but also allows you to customize the scents and strengths of your cleaners.
4. Research eco-friendly brands: Look for brands that prioritize sustainability and ethical practices. Research their products and read reviews to ensure they meet your needs and expectations.
5. Dispose of old products responsibly: When transitioning to eco-friendly cleaning supplies, it is important to dispose of your old products responsibly. Check with your local waste management facility for guidelines on how to properly dispose of hazardous cleaning products.
By taking small steps and gradually incorporating eco-friendly cleaning supplies into your routine, you can make a significant difference in reducing your environmental impact.
In conclusion, using environmentally friendly cleaning supplies is not only important for the health of the planet but also for our own well-being. Conventional cleaning products often contain harmful chemicals that can harm the environment, contribute to pollution, and negatively impact human health. By choosing eco-friendly cleaning supplies, we can minimize these negative impacts and create a safer and more sustainable home environment. Understanding the labels, avoiding greenwashing, using natural cleaning ingredients, making DIY cleaning solutions, choosing sustainable packaging, supporting ethical brands, reducing overall cleaning product consumption, and transitioning to a more environmentally friendly cleaning routine are all steps we can take to make a positive impact. By making the switch to eco-friendly cleaning supplies, we can contribute to a healthier planet for future generations.

Seven months ago, before bombs began falling on Baghdad, we accused
governments and journalists of hyping Iraq’s nuclear effort in the drive
towards the Gulf war. At the time, fears in the US and Europe were focused
on Iraq’s efforts to build centrifuges – high-tech devices to purify uranium-235
for use in an atomic bomb.
The charge was correct. International inspectors now in Iraq have confirmed
that Iraq was years away from perfecting its centrifuges. But as it turns
out, Iraq hardly needed them. As we report in this issue, Iraq had taken
a low-tech detour to producing uranium-235, using almost-forgotten devices
called calutrons. With these Iraq could have obtained the material for nuclear
bombs in just a couple of years.
This discovery needs no hype. Even though Iraq still does not have enough
material to build a bomb, its hidden enrichment programme has upset moves
towards international nuclear non-proliferation. Saddam Hussein’s ability
to get so close to a bomb without detection reveals the whole regulatory
system as inadequate.
Controls on the export of nuclear technology succeeded in stalling Iraq’s
attempts to develop centrifuges, and advanced technology. But they failed
to stop the bomb programme because Iraq chose to build calutrons, an almost
do-it-yourself technology. Calutrons, whose only awkward requirement is
a large supply of electricity, are now revealed offering an achievable route
to nuclear weapons for any industrial country.
Western powers, through the UN and the International Atomic Energy Agency
are currently trying to stamp out Iraq’s nuclear programme by threatening
new bombimg raids. This approach to nuclear non-proliferation may work against
a country that has just lost a war, but it doesn’t solve the larger problem.
What to do about other countries’ desire for nuclear weapons?
Unilateral export controls and the veiled threat of military action
cannot by themselves prevent nuclear weapons from spreading. Instead, non-proliferation
must start with relaxing regional tensions and disarming at all levels.
Argentina and Brazil are showing how this can work. Because their civilian
governments wanted to nip an arms race in the bud, they agreed to jointly
renounce nuclear weapons and open their nuclear facilities for reciprocal
inspection. This sort of regional arrangement should be pursued elsewhere,
the Middle East, despite all the problems, included.
In addition, the IAEA should be given stronger powers including, crucially,
the ability to inspect suspected nuclear sites. Hans Blix, director general
of the IAEA, is already cautiously pushing for such an expanded role. This
could prove awkward not only for Third World dictators but also for some
Western democracies. The big Western powers at the G7 summit in London this
month agreed to support stronger controls on the proliferation of conventional
weapons. By backing an international atomic agency with real teeth they
could show they are serious about containing nuclear weapons, too.

Why the term ‘third world’ isn’t a useful one.
Like many phrases in language, they are used without any thought of their origins and what they actually mean either in ‘real terms’ or the image that the term may create. The term third world is one of these phrases; and these are my thoughts as to why it’s not a very useful one!
Wide reading on this subject settles only the fact that the genesis of the term ‘third world’ isn’t exactly clear. However, there seems to a link toward a need to define the world into categories. A theory suggests that the first world consisting of the western industrialised world, the second being the Soviet Bloc and the third, being every one else. The term is also believed to have been invented by a French demographer called Sauvy in 1952, used to signify the commoners against the aristocracy. In any case, the descriptive phrase ‘The third World’ was used everywhere and the notion of its origin became lost in a given understanding of what it actually means. Even with the end of the cold war and the notion of second world ceased, third world continued to be used to describe all those countries that are economically poorer.
Sauvy’s ‘Third world’ invokes a very ‘narrow image’ in the western world and interpretation of the what/where scenario reflects this. Primarily, the term suggest a hierarchy of importance – in the west – being first suggests ‘winner’ - placed higher on the podium above ‘third’ – who is always the ‘runner up!’ Third never beats first, no matter how fast they run/swim/drive..whatever! So, do we perceive immediately that the ‘third world’ will conceptually never be as developed as the west no matter how hard they try?
Furthermore, the notion of where the actual third world is misleading too. The image created here is to divide the earth – North rich. South poor. This concept fails to recognise that Australia and New Zealand are very much globally south! And that in fact, there are pockets of people in the poorer nations that aren’t poor and people in the richer nations that certainly aren’t rich! This sweeping statement distorts the image of where the poorer nations are located and creates a generalisation of their needs!
I also sense a loss of identity by grouping ‘poorer’ and less industrialised economies under such a broad heading. Since the third world constitutes ¾ of the world, it’s almost preposterous to group these nations together and by doing so, it wipes out their history, culture and individualism. Each country will have different needs and be at different phases of development; by calling all of them ‘the third world’ we are almost putting all their needs in the same pot – where the reality is that countries all over the world will have different needs.

Paul and Genie have a close but troubled relationship, stemming from their emigration as children to London from Mauritius and Rodrigues. Rich in evocative, sensual descriptions and multi-layered stories; the love, hate, jealousy, worry, and responsibility the siblings feel for each other make this an emotional, compelling and memorable debut.
Rodrigues was the sister island of Mauritius and Paul, she thought, was her brother island, remote and totally isolated but somehow connected and, as Rodrigues was to Mauritius, a dependency. She realised now that she had thought this all her life: she was supposedly the baby sister, the younger one, the less clever one even. But she knew, and Paul did too, that she was the stronger one. Was this because she was younger? Paul had been alone for the first five years of his life. Her arrival must have changed his world. Genie had never known such a disruption, would never know the solitude he’d experienced before she was born. And then Genie realised – and the thought made her gasp almost – that for her it would be the opposite. She would know it if Paul were to die before her.

A day before the release of her daughter, Ananya Panday’s, Student of The Year 2, her star mommy, Bhavana Panday had taken to Instagram and had posted an adorable video of baby Ananya and Shanaya, decked up in traditional with mehendi-adorned hands. In the video, we could also spot Shanaya’s mommy, Maheep Kapoor in the background. Bhavana had captioned the video with an array of heart emojis and had tagged the three leads in her post.

In 2018, carrying her star family’s legacy forward, Janhvi Kapoor had stepped into the glamorous world of Bollywood with her debut film, Dhadak. After Janhvi, daughter of actor Sanjay Kapoor and designer Maheep Kapoor, Shanaya Kapoor also made her Bollywood debut, but it is not what you think. Shanaya didn’t step in Bollywood as an actress, but an assistant director to Sharan Sharma. Shanaya is assisting Sharan Sharma with the Gunjan Saxena biopic starring her cousin sister, Janhvi.

What is an allergy?
The word “allergy” is of ancient Greek origin (allos – other, ergon – action) and is used to define an abnormal reaction of the immune system to substances foreign to the body, which usually do not pose any danger to the body.
When an allergen is inhaled, an allergic reaction is noted in the respiratory tract, food allergies affect the digestive tract, and an allergic skin rash is usually caused by skin contact with the allergen.
If the allergy is not detected and treated, the disease becomes chronic and progresses.
Chronic allergic diseases that significantly affect the quality of life include the following:
- Simple and allergic contact dermatitis
- Atopic dermatitis
- Allergic rash.
Reasons leading to disruption of the natural barrier – the skin:
- Low and high air temperatures
- Increased humidity or, conversely, dry air
- Excess ultraviolet radiation
- An equally important reason for the occurrence and transition to a chronic form of allergic skin diseases is a deficiency of vitamins in the body, which occurs, most often, as a result of poor nutrition or diseases of the digestive system.
Treatment of allergic skin diseases must include:
- Exclusion of any allergens – household dust, food allergens, animal hair, occupational allergens.
- The use of antihistamines to eliminate allergy symptoms.
- The use of agents that normalize the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract (probiotics).
- Proper skin care, including moisturizing, softening the skin, restoring the water balance and structure of the stratum corneum of the epidermis.
Restoring vitamin deficiency in order to activate the body’s defenses and strengthen the immune system.
A unique beauty vitamin is biotin.
Each vitamin has its own unique properties, which determines its effect on the body. Based on the results of numerous studies, scientists have proven that the treatment of allergic skin diseases is impossible without the use of vitamin biotin.
Biotin is vital for cell growth and development. The biotin molecule contains sulfur. It is a chemical element such as sulfur that is a necessary condition for the synthesis of the unique trispiral structure of collagen and the construction of keratin substance.
Collagen and keratin provide skin firmness and elasticity, moisturize the deep layers of the skin, and slow down its aging. An additional benefit of biotin is that it optimizes the functioning of the skin’s sebaceous glands, which prevents dryness and flaking of the skin.
Biotin can eliminate fine wrinkles, prevent hair fragility and loss, and prevent premature graying.
To successfully combat allergic skin diseases and achieve long-term remission, it is necessary to pay attention to the treatment of each episode of exacerbation, take care of the skin, avoid allergens and restore the lack of vitamins in the body, namely biotin.
A vitamin complex will help restore biotin deficiency VITAGEN Biotin Max.
exerts its effect directly in the skin, nail matrix and hair follicle. Each tablet contains the maximum daily requirement for the vitamin biotin – 145 mcg.
Take a vitamin complex VITAGEN Biotin Max
simple – just 1 tablet once a day for 3-6 months. Courses for the prevention of allergic skin diseases should be carried out 2 times a year – in the autumn-winter period and spring-summer.

To identify the impact of changes surrounding certification as a patient‐centered medical home (PCMH) on outcomes for patients with diabetes.
Minnesota legislation established mandatory quality reporting for patients with diabetes and statewide standards for certification as a PCMH. Patient‐level quality reporting data (2008‐2018) were used to study the impact of transition to a PCMH.
Achievement of Minnesota's optimal diabetes care standard—in aggregate and by component—was modeled for adult patients with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes as a function of time relative to the year the patient's primary care practice achieved PCMH certification. Patients from uncertified practices were used to control for general trend. Practice‐level random effects captured time‐invariant characteristics of practices and the practices’ average patient.
Electronic health record data were submitted by 695 Minnesota practices capturing components of the quality standard: blood sugar control, cholesterol control, blood pressure control, nonsmoking status, and use of aspirin.
The first cohort of practices achieving PCMH certification (July 2010‐June 2014) showed statistically insignificant changes in optimal care. The next cohort of practices (July 2014‐June 2018) achieved larger, clinically meaningful increases in quality of care during the time prior to and following certification. Specifically, this second cohort of practices was estimated to achieve a 12.8 percentage‐point improvement ( < .001) in the predicted probability of providing optimal diabetes care over the period spanning 3 years before to 3 years after certification.
Our results suggest that the initial cohort of certified practices was already performing at a high level before certification, perhaps requiring little change in their operations to achieve PCMH certification. The second cohort, on the other hand, made meaningful, quality‐improving changes in the years surrounding certification. Differences by cohort may partially explain the inconsistent PCMH impacts found in the literature.

The actors look very much like their characters in the new stills from the film unveiled recently. The film is a period drama set in Gujarat. It also features an item song, which has been picturized on Priyanka Chopra.
Deepika looks ravishing in a red Gujarati Ghagra-choli complete with mirror work as she dances in a song in her upcoming film, Ram Leela.

''The bitter tragedy of human life-- horrors of death, attack, retreat, advance, and the great game of Destiny and Chance. '' In The Liberation of Jerusalem (Gerusalemme liberata, 1581), Torquato Tasso set out to write an epic to rival the Iliad and the Aeneid. Unlike his predecessors, he took his subject not from myth but from history: the Christian capture of Jerusalem during the First Crusade. The siege of the city is played out alongside a magical romance of love and sacrifice, in which the Christian knight Rinaldo succumbs to the charms of the pagan sorceress Armida, and the warrior maiden Clorinda inspires a fatal passion in the Christian Tancred.Tasso''s masterpiece left its mark on writers from Spenser and Milton to Goethe and Byron, and inspired countless painters and composers. This is the first English translation in modern times that faithfully reflects both the sense and the verse form of the original. Max Wickert''s fine rendering is introduced by Mark Davie, who places Tasso''s poem in the context of his life and times and points to the qualities that have ensured its lasting impact on Western culture. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Community Day Of Service Draws Over 300 Volunteers
Above: MCLA student Amario Joseph and Berkshire Arts & Technology Public Charter School student Kaitlin LaValley pick up trash near Ashland Street. Below: Drury baseball players helped tidy up the Spruces Mobile Home Park.
Spencer Moser, coordinator of Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts' Center for Service and Citizenship, described the day as "awe-inspiring and gratifying."
He said he was excited to see more high school students involved than in years past.
The service day, started as a college initiative, has grown to include the great community and a wide range of activities.
Moser said having fewer projects this year gave each project more attention, and also further helped with the community aspect. He said there was more opportunity for community members of all ages and backgrounds to share the moment. Moser described community service as an "equalizer."
"When you roll up your sleeves and dig, you're equal," Moser said.
Local businesses also chipped in to the cause. Village Pizza and Pizza Works gave away pizzas for the after-party.

Our last hike on the vacation was in the Northern end of Zion. It's a smaller canyon called Kolob Canyon. If you were to drive up there to look at it, you probably wouldn't be as impressed as you were with Zion. There is a small five mile road which takes you to a view point where you can see the entire canyon. Along the way there are turnouts and parking spaces at the trail heads. We took the Middle Fork Taylor Creek trail up to the Double Arch Alcove. I think the actual arch is further up, but we stopped at the alcove and went back. The hike was around 5 miles round trip but worth it.
Here is the link to the album:
I think this is my favorite photo of the trip (actually two of them. I can't decide which I like more):
Here are some photos of the alcove.
The trail heading into the alcove was cool, too. It crossed the stream multiple times.
This is leading back out of the trail up to the parking area.
And finally, here's my Dad doing a victory dance to the Rocky theme after making it out of there alive.
Kolob Canyon was my second favorite trip of the vacation. The alcove was absolutely amazing. It was enormous. One of those situations where you really hope the pictures even remotely do it justice.
Also, big thanks to the rangers we ran into on the trail who hooked us up with some additional water. My Dad's little water bottle wasn't cutting it. Maybe I'll buy him a camelbak his next trip out here. I know I wouldn't have survived this weekend without mine.
