One of the most advanced alternatives comes from the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI) in the US, which is developing a bioengineered mini-organ where insulin-producing cells are encapsulated within a protective barrier. Two years ago, the DRI announced that the first patient treated in an ongoing Phase I/II trial no longer requires insulin therapy.
Peripheral neuropathy, one of the most common complications of type 2 diabetes, occurs most often in the distal extremities and typically affects the sensory, motor, and autonomic systems. Acupuncture has been demonstrated to exert a beneficial effect on neuropathic pain.2 The effects of acupuncture, particularly on pain, are mediated in part by the release of endogenous opioids from the spinal cord, brainstem, and hypothalamus. In addition, it has been demonstrated that neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and substance P, are released during acupuncture treatments. Increases in local blood flow and vasodilation and increased levels of cortisol have also been demonstrated.10 A 300% increase in plethysmographic recordings of blood flow has been demonstrated in the digits of limbs stimulated with electroacupuncture.10
Hi, it’s midnight where I am and my family and I have been awake for an hour post intense leg cramps that I got from my obsessive eating disorder making my blood sugar reach extreme levels (rant!).

It’s sleeping 16 hours a day-unwillingly falling behind in everything. Keeping GALLONS of water near you to drink, and yet still being thirsty. It’s almost been two years for… Read more »
TCM views the human body and its functioning in a holistic way. From this perspective, no single body part or symptom can be understood apart from its relation to the whole. Unlike Western medicine, which seeks to uncover a distinct entity or causative factor for a particular illness, TCM looks at patterns of disharmony, which include all presenting signs and symptoms as well as patients’ emotional and psychological responses. Humans are viewed both as a reflection of and as an integral part of nature, and health results from maintaining harmony and balance within the body and between the body and nature.3
Anecdotally, Cummings knows at least one person in the US who got their surgery paid for through their partner’s employer insurance, despite only having a BMI of 31. And he notes that many countries with a robust public health care system have already lowered their BMI limits to mirror the DSS-II guidelines, such as the UK and Saudi Arabia. He also believes that Medicare and Medicaid officials are deliberating whether to adopt the DSS-II guidelines, based on discussions he’s had. “I don’t know how long it’ll take, but we’re crossing our fingers and hoping,” he said.
Natural herbs have cure so many illness that drugs and injection can’t cure.I have seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful works they have done in peoples lives.I read people’s testimonies on line on how they were cured of herpes,HIV, diabetics etc by Dr Akhigbe.herbal medicines,so I decided to contact because I know nature has the power to heal anything.I was diagnosed with HIV for the past 7 year but Dr Akhigbe cured me with his herpes and I referred my aunt and her husband to him. Immediately because they where both suffering from herpes but to God be the glory, they were cured too. I know is hard to believe but am a living testimony. There is no harm trying herbs. He is also good in curing diabetes,cancer,asthman,diarrhea,hiv/aids,impotence and other virus. Contact Dr Akhigbe on phone/WhatsApp no: +2348142454860 or email him on..firstname.lastname@example.org
Practitioners agree that nutrition is the cornerstone of diabetes management, and that a range of nutrition intervention strategies can be used to meet the metabolic goals and individual preferences of the person with diabetes. However, there are significant differences in the approach and methodologies used by alternative and conventional practitioners to manage the disease. One difference is in terminology. When is remission really remission?

You should have no more than three of these “feeding times” per day. The reason limiting the number and duration of your meal times is so important has to do with staying out of the vicious cycle of increasing insulin resistance. To get smart on insulin resistance — the cause of both type 2 diabetes and obesity — read Dr. Jason Fung’s book, The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss, or watch his free lecture on YouTube.

We were absolutely delighted to host Vice President U Henry Van Thio in Lailenpi on Monday 27th February.
The Vice President arrived by helicopter, along with Deputy Minister Major-General Than Htut and Union Minister U Thant Sin Maung among others.
During the visit, the Vice President reviewed the work of Health and Hope, the proposal for building of an airstrip in Lailenpi and inspected the progress of development work within Lailenpi Town.
Over 2,000 townspeople, led by Dr Sasa, got hard to work to prepare for his arrival - even constructing two helipads to safely receive him!
A meeting was held in the sports field in the centre of Lailenpi where Dr Sasa proposed support for the betterment of roads, schools, the hospital, energy and communication for the people of the town.
We are so grateful to Vice President U Henry Van Thio and all the visiting dignitaries who gracefully supported many of these proposals and for their commitment to the people of Lailenpi and Chin State.

A solitary US naval warship is at sea when a fleet of ships surrounds it armed with hypervelocity cruise missiles and electromagnetic rail guns. Although it may be outnumbered, the warship has something the other ships don’t – an ultraprecise, ultrafast, megawatt-class laser system with a selectable wavelength for optimum performance in any maritime condition.
This future weaponized laser system is part of an extensive program designed to enhance free-electron lasers (FELs) into 100-kW and megawatt-class power systems for lethal and low-collateral-damage sea and air attacks.
A naval warship outfitted with a megawatt-class laser system uniquely uses countersurveillance and situational awareness to target multiple opponents at once. Its point defense capability also supplies high-resolution imaging and beam direction for precision aiming. Courtesy of Raytheon Co.
The plan is “to design, develop, fabricate, integrate and test a complete 10-kW-class FEL prototype device that can be used to demonstrate scalability of the necessary FEL physics and engineering for an eventual megawatt-class FEL device,” said Sarwat Chappell, direct energy program officer at the Arlington, Va.-based Office of Naval Research, which advances innovative science and technology capabilities for the Navy and Marine Corps.
“The speed-of-light engagement characteristic and the ability to select the wavelength to maximize laser transmission through the marine atmosphere of the FEL weapons systems give the US Navy the unique ability to adjust for defense against targets in any maritime environment throughout the world,” she added.
Two companies are competing to develop the laser, The Boeing Co.’s Directed Energy Systems Div. in West Hills, Calif., and Raytheon Co.’s Integrated Defense Systems Div. in Tewksbury, Mass. Each has been awarded a 12-month, $6.9 million contract from the Office of Naval Research. The project is estimated to reach $163 million to fully complete a 100-kW demonstration prototype.
Free-electron lasers work by injecting a number of electrons into a linear accelerator, where they are amplified to very high energy levels. Directed through a sequence of powerful electromagnetic fields, the electrons emit energy, creating an intense laser beam. “The FEL is the only all-electric laser that is capable of producing megawatt-and-above powers,” said Gary Fitzmire, vice president and program director of Boeing’s Directed Energy Systems.
A linear accelerator of a free-electron laser is shown. To operate the system, clusters of electrons are injected into the device and stripped from their atoms, resulting in very high energy levels. From there, they are directed through a series of powerful electromagnetic fields, forcing the release of energy in the form of photons. Engineers will be able to adjust the wavelength to successfully propagate through any atmospheric condition by increasing the amount of clusters of electrons injected into the accelerator or the amount of electrons in each cluster. Courtesy of the US Navy.
To enhance energy, two variables of the system must be changed. The first includes increasing the number of times an electron group is injected into the accelerator, and the second, increasing the number of electrons.
Unlike other lasers that use chemicals to fuel the system, the laser will run off a ship’s power, eliminating the need for explosive or toxic materials onboard. And because the FEL has unlimited magazine capacity, it will eliminate the need for storing missiles while lessening the concern for having enough artillery to keep up with maritime warfare.
“FEL has, over the past decade [and] with continuing support from the [Office of Naval Research], the promise of being able to reach the power levels required to make this a defensive weapon system without some of the drawbacks that some of the other technologies have,” said John Cochran, senior engineering fellow and program manager of Raytheon.
The idea behind advancing the laser is to have selectable wavelengths for use at sea. “One of the key benefits of the free-electron laser is that it is tunable in both its power levels and its wavelengths,” Cochran said. Energy sources are absorbed by elements in the atmosphere, such as heat and humidity, he added.
To facilitate a successful and powerful laser beam that propagates through the atmosphere and that will not become absorbed, various wavelengths must be available – depending on environmental conditions – on a day-to-day basis. In addition, adjusting the power allows for fully destroying a target or for merely disabling it.
The laser also provides a point-defense capability that uses high-resolution imaging and a beam director to pinpoint a specific spot on a target quickly and accurately. “The combination of these two effects allows the system to destroy the target in the minimum time,” said Edward W. Pogue, Boeing’s FEL program manager.
Countersurveillance and situational awareness provide the FEL with the capability of engaging in multiple target attacks, thus reducing mobility tactics that opponents may use to avoid a strike. Incoming missiles can dodge kinetic receptors, but they won’t be able to avoid the laser beam because the speed of light performance identifies and destroys the target before it can reposition to a new course, Pogue added.
Boeing and Raytheon are both in the preliminary stages of augmenting the laser system, which will require three phases. The first, 1A, will involve a year of constructing an introductory design proposal for the 100-kW prototype FEL system, while the second phase, 1B, will be to create a detailed design. The third, phase 2, will be the fabrication, integration and testing of the FEL prototype.
The Office of Naval Research will choose which company – if not both – is best suited to carry out the megawatt-class system project based entirely on its preliminary plan. “Upon successful completion of phase 1A, selected performers will participate in future phases, leading to development and demonstration of the 100-kW prototype,” the Navy’s Chappell said.
FELs are not a new technology for military weapons applications. “Many research FELs have been built to-date worldwide, albeit none near MW class average power levels,” Chappell said.
Nevertheless, upgrading the laser to 100 kW and ultimately scaling up to megawatt-class power will change military defense tactics for the advancement of injectors, beam control, accelerators, amplifier and oscillator designs, and other FEL weaponry, while providing directed energy systems for a future all-electric naval ship for maritime defense.

What is the Best Alternative to Milk?Soy Milk. Soy milk has been the most popular non-dairy substitute for decades because its nutrition profile closely resembles that of cow’s milk. … Almond Milk. Almond milk is a great dairy alternative when you are looking to cut calories. … Rice Milk. … Coconut Milk. … Hemp Milk. … Cashew Milk.
Can I drink 500ml milk a day?
If a person is getting his/her nutrient requirements per day from other sources, it isn’t necessary for them to consume more than 250 ml of milk a day.
Is it unhealthy to drink milk everyday?
Women who drank three glasses of milk or more every day had a nearly doubled risk of death and cardiovascular disease, and a 44 percent increased risk of cancer compared to women who drank less than one glass per day, the researchers found.
What is the healthiest milk to drink?
The 7 Healthiest Milk OptionsHemp milk. Hemp milk is made from ground, soaked hemp seeds, which do not contain the psychoactive component of the Cannabis sativa plant. … Oat milk. … Almond milk. … Coconut milk. … Cow’s milk. … A2 milk. … Soy milk.
What is the truth about milk?
Milk and other dairy products are the top sources of artery-clogging saturated fat in the American diet. Milk products also contain dietary cholesterol. Diets high in fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol increase the risk of heart disease, which remains America’s top killer.
What is the best time to drink milk?
There’s no recommended time to drink milk to reap its general health benefits. However, if you’re looking to lose weight or build muscle, studies suggest that drinking milk right after workouts is best.
Can milk make you fat?
The evidence shows that dairy foods, including milk, cheese and yoghurt do not lead to weight gain.
Is it bad to drink milk at night?
Milk taken from cows in the evening (hence the name “night milk”) supposedly should have the most positive affects as a sleep aid. The major benefits of drinking milk before bed include healthy proteins and amino acids that assist your body in getting a completely uninterrupted satisfying night’s sleep.
Is it good to eat banana at night?
Rich in potassium, banana helps relax the muscle after a tiring day. Eating one or two bananas late in the evening helps your body get ready to fall asleep.
What happens if you drink milk everyday?
Drinking milk increases the levels of appetite reducing hormones, while reducing the levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin. The calcium and vitamin D present in milk help in burning calories by increasing your metabolism, again helping in weight loss or weight maintenance.
Why is milk healthy?
It’s packed with important nutrients like calcium, phosphorus, B vitamins, potassium and vitamin D. Plus, it’s an excellent source of protein. Drinking milk and dairy products may prevent osteoporosis and bone fractures and even help you maintain a healthy weight.
What happens if you drink milk every night?
Milk contains tryptophan which is an amino acid that helps us sleep better. Tryptophan converts into serotonin, the hormone that gives you pleasure. Serotonin also increases the amount of melatonin in your body and melatonin is the hormone responsible for good sleep.
Do humans really need milk?
Yes, you definitely need calcium in your diet, and milk is a great source of it. … Humans need calcium to maintain strong bones and teeth. Calcium also helps decrease the risk of osteoporosis, a bone disease that occurs when the body loses too much bone, makes too little bone, or both.
Does drinking milk at night makes you fat?
Firstly, drinking a glass of milk before bed is unlikely to cause any major changes in your weight, provided it’s not regularly contributing to large increases in your daily calorie intake. That said, several studies have associated late-night snacking with weight gain.
Is milk unhealthy for humans?
Very high milk intake can be bad, but there’s no research suggesting that moderate intake is harmful – Jyrkia Virtanen. It’s also possible that those with lactose intolerance may be able to drink small amounts of cow’s milk.

Pandemic Further Entrenches U.S. Gender Gap in Wage Bargaining
(Bloomberg) -- More women than men said they have less power to ask for a pay raise or benefits in light of the pandemic, indicating that the coronavirus has entrenched the gender disparity in wage bargaining, a survey by Moody’s Analytics and Morning Consult showed.
Women of all races and income groups are less likely to bargain for raises than men, according to the institutions’ survey of 5,000 U.S. adults in mid-September. About 15% of women said they were more willing to ask for raises due to the impact of the virus, compared with 20% of men.
The pandemic has hit women’s work prospects particularly hard as they’ve suffered higher job losses than men during the initial wave of the coronavirus and are expected to take longer to return to pre-pandemic employment levels. For women who were able to remain in the labor force, the lack of bargaining power means they’ll be less likely to enjoy wage gains even when labor demand strengthens as the economy recovers.
“One of the foundational pillars of economics is free and fair competition to drive prices, including the cost of labor,” said John Leer, economist at Morning Consult. “It just is not happening.”
Women’s lack of power in wage bargaining contributes to sluggish wage growth and will ultimately “act as a headwind to consumer spending and other measures of financial stability,” Leer said.
Workers who lost income -- but either kept their jobs or found new employment during the pandemic -- were found to be more reluctant to engage in bargaining. About 31% of those workers said they were less willing to ask for an increase in pay or benefits, compared with 18% of workers who didn’t lose income during the pandemic.
Men, younger workers age 18 to 44 and those with post-graduate degrees were more comfortable about bargaining and had more success in doing so, the survey found. Black essential workers reported higher rates of comfort and success in asking for raises than their White and Hispanic American peers, though researchers could not offer any readily available explanation.

San Francisco (Obama.net)- Up until 1994, not only did the National Football League have a presence in Los Angeles, but it did in the form of two franchises. But since the Los Angeles Rams relocated to St. Louis and the Los Angeles Raiders returned to Oakland, the City of Angels has been sans NFL franchise.
Enter Magic Johnson.
The former Los Angeles Laker has made moves in recent days in an effort to bring an NFL team back to Los Angeles for the first time in 16 years.
Johnson sold his minor ownership role in the Lakers NBA franchise to Patrick Soon-Shiong. Johnson’s share of the team was only 4.5%, but the small share was valued at approximately twenty-seven million dollars. Soon-Shiong seemed like an appropriate buyer since he is a Lakers fan and season ticket holder.
The NBA Hall of Famer then made another sale. He sold all 105 of his Starbucks franchises back to the corporation.
Combined with his sale of the Lakers, Magic Johnson essentially brought in a projected $100 million in a few days.
While some suspected that Johnson would use the money to buy an even larger sharer of a smaller NBA Franchise in order to be a majority owner, the three-time NBA Most Valuable Player shot those reports down.
So with the twelve-time NBA All-Star not looking into buying the Detroit Pistons nor the Golden States Warriors of the NBA or the Los Angeles Dodgers of the MLB, and with him being fine with his current assortment of restaurants, real estate properties, and health clubs, the former superstar is looking to make his mark on the NFL.
While nothing official has come from the NFL and no talks have been reported as of yet, Johnson has publically stated that bringing an NFL franchise to the city of Los Angeles is his ultimate goal.
Johnson still plans on playing a vital role within the Los Angeles Lakers organization. The former Laker bought a luxury suite in the same arena that Lakers play, the Staples Center, so that he can be present at every home game and continue to work with the organization as he has been for years.
If things go as planned, it could be a matter of months or even weeks until we get finalizing news that Magic Johnson will be joining the likes of other famous athletes such as Michael Jordan as owners of professional teams in the United States.

For weeks, Ford has been building high expectations for the seventh-generation 2024 Mustang. Now, it has finally been presented in great detail
The Detroit Auto Show became one of the most anticipated events of the year. Great vehicles and novelties have been exhibited in the city of Michigan, where much of the attention of the event has been taken by Ford thanks to its new Mustang.
Finally, the seventh-generation Ford Mustang 2024 was 100% revealed after several weeks of expectations created by the North American manufacturer. Without a doubt, fans of this legendary model were eagerly awaiting to know what this new car is all about.
The first thing to note is how Ford describes the Mustang: “the most exhilarating and fun to drive yet.”
Aesthetically lets know that it is a Ford Mustang. The characteristic shape of the car highlights the hood, slightly inclined to create downforce with a ventilation grille for the engine, maintaining the essence of the legendary model.
The front grille has a rather striking internal “honeycomb” design, surrounded by the body in a semi-rectangular shape. The headlights are minimalist yet attractive through a three-row linear design.
The doors denote aggressive lines to generate lift, directing the air towards the rear. Precisely, the rear area of the car stands out for having a spoiler with a minimum height but sufficient to fulfill its function perfectly.
The windshield and roof area have been combined to convey an airplane cockpit appearance when viewed from the side of the 7th generation 2024 Ford Mustang.
Mechanically it does not disappoint, as the vehicle has been equipped with two powerful engine variants. The most aggressive is a turbocharged 5.0-liter V8 with manual or automatic transmission, billed as having the “most naturally aspirated horsepower of any Mustang GT.”
On the other hand, there is a simpler version that provides: an all-new turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost V4 power unit.
“Investing in another generation of Mustang is a great statement at a time when
many of our competitors are getting out of the combustion vehicle business
internal,” says Jim Farley, CEO of Ford Motor Company.


When asked what is Raksha Bhandhan, most would say that it is about tying rakhis and receiving gifts, some would go into the significance of it and say that it is about protecting sisters and gaining their goodwill and blessings. And then there are those who might find this very premise unsettling.
A strand of feminists has found the idea of Raksha Bandhan problematic because of its original meaning. The word raksha means ‘protection, and Raksha Bandhan refers to the sacred thread that begets protection from brothers. Clearly, this idea of women needing protection has not gone down with many.
But, in today’s post-modern and capitalist world, is Raksha Bandhan still a sensitive festival in terms of gender equations. No doubts it has those roots, and always will. But I send my brother a rakhi every monsoon, and I definitely don’t demand any protection in exchange. However, I do make it a point to get him the nicest rakhi and the nicest card from an Archies or a Hallmark. (Sadly, I cannot afford the more embellished ‘designer’ ones.)
So, what does that tell you about Raksha Bandhan? As for me, it is that one time of the year when I think about sending something nice to my brother. And I do so only because I think that it is a nice gesture to make when you live miles apart.
Yes, I know that the premise of Raksha Bandhan is a patriarchal one, but I do not celebrate it for that. I celebrate it like it were a ‘Siblings Day’ of sorts. For the critics of Raksha Bandhan, I completely understand the validity of your argument and also the logic behind it, i.e., to uproot patriarchy one has to uproot all social practices associated with it. To those who celebrate the festival, make it about indulgent celebrations and gifts if you must, make it about remembering your sibling on that special day; but don’t make it about the brother protecting the sister.
Let it be about the relationship that siblings share, it can be about that one time when your brother told on you when you sneaked out of the house or that time when you took his phone and got mischievous to take revenge. As human beings, as especially those that share such strong connections, it is only natural that we will stand by each other and protect each other in times of adversity.
This Raksha Bandhan, make it about celebrating that mutual connection.

Aghamirian helped his team by winning gold in the 82 kg weight class. He defeated the Lakehead University Voyageurs’ Brody Evans and the York University Lions’ Jasman Gill due to technical superiority, and beat the University of Guelph Gryphons’ Simon Chaves 6-1.
This victory took him to the divisional final where he defeated the Western University Mustangs’ Brandon Amboto by tiebreaker after a 5-5 match due to a higher number of takedowns. His efforts from the weekend led him to be named McMaster’s Pita Pit Athlete of the Week. Next up, Aghamirian and the Marauders prepare for the U Sports championships on Feb. 22-23.
Ligaya Stinellis, Women’s Wrestling
Stinellis made Marauders history after taking home the OUA Rookie of the Year earlier this season. The Pita Pit Athlete of the Week is the first female wrestler to win the award since it began in 2008. Stinellis took the 48kg weight class by storm, pinning all three of her opponents: Voyageurs’ Megan Smith, Lions’ Gurleen Tak and former medalist, Western’s Christine Grafe. In the finals, she, unfortunately, was pinned by the Gryphons’ vet Natassya Lu, and walked away with a silver medal. Her efforts helped the Marauders place fifth overall and secured her spot at the U Sports Wrestling Championships.
Andrew Richards and Matt Passalent, Men’s Volleyball
This weekend, the men’s volleyball team’s victory had two co-stars leading it. The duo helped lead the Marauders to a 3-1 defeat over the University of Waterloo Warriors on the road. Both Richards and Passalent finished the game with 16 kills, with Richards adding four aces and one block assist to the stat sheet, and Passalet adding two aces and two total blocks. The defeat bumped the men up to fourth place nationally, improving to a 10-2 OUA regular season record. Up next, the team will host the Nipissing University Lakers and the Lions for their final home matches of the regular season. The Saturday, Feb. 9, will be a special Pride celebration, followed by a showdown with York the next day.
Sarah Gates, Women’s Basketball
Gates was once again an on-the-court leader this weekend in Mac’s 65-41 defeat over the Western Mustangs. With a game-high 19 points and 8 rebounds, putting her just two shy of a double-double. The 2018 OUA Rookie of the Year has been performing extremely well this season and is on track to being named an OUA all-star. The victory helped the team move up to third place in the U Sports national rankings, and first place in the OUA West, clinching a playoff berth. Gates and the Marauders will head to Algoma University this weekend to take on the Thunderbirds.

One special night each year, at moonrise, Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic year, begins. During Ramadan, Muslims spend the entire month gathering as families and communities. They celebrate with prayer, fasts, and feasts in honor of God. Readers will learn the history and significance of this holy month and how it is celebrated around the world. They can also follow a recipe for an apricot honey walnut tart and instructions to make a garland featuring stars and moons.
On June 26, 2008, the Supreme Court announced its decision in the case of DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA V. HELLER. By a vote of 5 to 4, the court struck down a ban on guns as a violation of the Second Amendment. Still, the debate rages on. Does a private citizen still have the right to own a gun for self-defense of the home? Did the government have the right to restrict an entire class of weapons, either by levying taxes or banning them altogether? Tom Streissguth looks at all of the sides of this complex and controversial legal debate.

Description of the book "The Education of Little Tree":This story has entranced readers of all ages since it was first published twenty-five years ago. The tale tells the story of a boy orphaned very young, who is adopted by his Cherokee grandmother and half-Cherokee grandfather in the Appalachian mountains of Tennessee during the Great Depression. 'Little Tree' as his grandparents call him is shown how to hunt and survive in the mountains, to respect nature in the Cherokee Way, taking only what is needed, leaving the rest for nature to run its course. Little Tree also learns the often callous ways of the white businessmen PDF and tax collectors, and how Grandpa, in hilarious vignettes, scares them away from his illegal attempts to enter the cash economy. Grandma teaches Little Tree the joys of reading and education. But when Little Tree is taken away for schooling by whites, we learn of the cruelty meted out to Indian children in an attempt to assimilate them and of Little Tree's perception of the Anglo world and how it differs from the Cherokee Way.

This week sees a local derby as the TravelSim Waratahs take on Northern District in round two of the New South Wales Premier cricket competition.
In last week’s results, Manly’s first grade side were able to score a bonus point win after a dominant fielding session getting Penrith all out for 98, whereas Northern District were defeated by a star-studded Eastern Suburbs side.
Australian hero Nathan Lyon played for Northern District last week, though will be not taking on the Tahs this week due to representative commitments, and with the game being at Manly Oval, the task becomes even tougher for the away team.
However, Manly also have to overcome hurdles this week with Mickey Edwards, Jay Lenton and Ahillen Beadle all unavailable for the Tahs. As a result of this three players will step up to first grade, giving a great chance for young guns of the club, or even some veterans to play at the top grade level. Stephen O’Keefe may be included into the mix, depending on if he is able to pass fitness tests prior to the game.
In round one, Matt Alexander was able to record an impressive 4 wickets for 25 runs, with Taylor Beatty close behind grabbing 3/27, Mickey Edwards getting two wickets, and captain Chris Green also taking one.
Another strong performance in the field is essential to success for the Tahs in round two, and with the cattle named there is nothing holding Manly back from repeating that again.
The total was not as high as circumstances may have allowed, however the Tahs were able to hint at what they could do with the bat chasing down Penrith’s total quick enough to get the bonus point. Although Manly may have wanted to not lose as many wickets as they did, consistent scores within the 20s from James and Adam Crosthwaite, Chris Green and Ahillen Beadle saw the Tahs chase down 98 runs in 24 overs.
This week sees the season’s first two-dayer, stretching the game over two weekends and giving the Tahs a greater chance to show what they can do with the bat. With strong openers, middle order and tail ender batsmen, there is full confidence in Manly’s batting order to do some damage.
Although, if Manly are able to field as well as they did and wrap up things early, another bonus point win could possibly be on the horizon.
In the lower grades, only the fourth grade side were able to get a win for the Tahs, whereas second, third and fourth grade secured wins for Northern District.
Whilst in first grade, Manly were on the better side of their result from last week than Northern Districts were, they must not be complacent being at such an early stage of the season. Even being on the losing side, opener Henry Hunt was able to grab a century and first drop Andrew Harriott recorded 89 runs to his name, showing Northern District’s strength with the bat. However, another tidy performance in the field should limit any high totals for the opposition and see Manly get another win.
Manly will see the majority of teams on home soil this week, with first, third and fifth grade all playing at their respective home grounds, boosting the confidence of these sides. However, being the local derby, second and fourth grade do not have to travel too far.
Both clubs had mixed results in round one, raising the hunger levels for wins across all grades in round two. Manly will be looking to get wins across all grades and continue on the good start they have had to season 2017/18, as well as being crowned Kings of the North.

Patanjali Ayurved received a show-cause notice from the Supreme Court on February 27 for retracting its assurance to abstain from making misleading claims in advertisements for its medicines. This action comes after the company, co-founded by yoga guru Ramdev, failed to uphold its commitment.
According to a report by moneycontrol, the court prohibited the company from disseminating advertisements asserting the treatment of ailments such as BP, diabetes, fevers, epilepsy, and lupus, as outlined in the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act of 1954.
The government was called out for its inaction against the firm. SC has demanded the submission of an affidavit outlining the actions taken by the center to prevent companies from misrepresenting medicines in the media. Patanjali and its staff were cautioned against disseminating any misleading information regarding the curative properties of their products.
The directive was issued following a writ petition submitted by the Indian Medical Association (IMA) concerning deceptive advertisements.
Last year, Patanjali had pledged to refrain from airing advertisements containing unsubstantiated claims about its products. However, despite this commitment, Patanjali continued with its advertisements.
SC has urged the Centre to formulate a proposal aimed at addressing the broader problem of deceptive medical advertisements. Patanjali's campaigns, which criticized modern medicine and vaccination efforts, were also brought to the attention of the court by the Indian Medical Association (IMA).


I am very aware of the importance of knowing my audience, so that I can better create content for what people want to be entertained by while they’re trying to kill time on smart phones.
They don’t have a lot in common… They are segregated by gender demographics.
Most of the people reading Family Friendly Daddy Blog are women…
While most of the people watching my videos on YouTube are men:
For my Jack-Man series, I spend a minimum of 6 hours per video (writing, filming, producing music, editing, publishing) and there are currently 22 Jack-Man videos. When you do the math, that’s a minimum of 132 hours (or 5.5 straight days) of work for that series; and I only started the series 5 months ago.
However, I’m lucky to get 100 views on any of my Jack-Man videos. All that creativity mainly goes unwatched.
Meanwhile, I’ve carelessly thrown together a few unedited and unscripted videos on receding hairlines on my YouTube channel.
Those are the videos that easily get more than 100 views every day.
That’s because it’s mainly men are watching my YouTube channel, not as many women.
And mainly women are reading my blog, not as many men.
So now, behind the scenes, I am sketching out the best ways to blend my blog posts with my videos.
Ultimately, I guess it means that I’ll be publishing more blog posts about receding hairlines to feature my receding hairline videos, and making more videos about parenting to feature my usual daddy blog material.
I am attempting to use my blog to promote my videos and my videos to promote my blog.
So when you see me doing blog posts on seemingly irrelevant material, just know it’s for the other half of my demographics: men.

Fragrances produce a pleasant smell which can help create a feeling of freshness. Depending on what type of product they are included in, scents can be found in many daily products. With so much fragrance around us, it’s valid to want answers to the question; can you be allergic to fragrance?
Yes, it is possible to get an allergic reaction after exposure to fragrance. The fragrance is made up of several different chemical components. It’s those components that give the scent its unique smell. Unfortunately, some people are allergic to some or all of these chemicals and, as such, may experience an allergic reaction when exposed to them.
You may be sensitive to fragrances if you have asthma, allergies, or autoimmune disease. Fragrance can trigger allergic reactions in some people and cause various symptoms, from mild discomfort to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Thankfully, you can take steps to avoid them and manage your symptoms.
Can Scents Trigger Allergies?
A fragrance is a broad term for any substance that gives off a pleasant odor. Fragrances are used in everything from perfumes to air fresheners, candles, and deodorants. And since aroma produces scents based on constituent ingredients, the smell can trigger a sensitive reaction and allergies.
If you’re allergic to fragrances and have sensitive skin, it’s best to avoid scents altogether. Many different ingredients in perfumes can trigger fragrance sensitivity.
What Is A Fragrance Allergy Called?
A fragrance allergy is caused by a sensitivity to the chemicals contained in fragrances. It occurs when the immune system reacts to a substance that comes into contact with the skin. The most common allergens are fragrances and preservatives, but you can also be allergic to adhesives and metals like nickel.
So what is it called when you’re sensitive to one of those ingredients? It’s called allergy contact dermatitis. This term refers to any skin reaction or irritation from contact with another substance, such as fragrances.
There are many different allergens capable of triggering ACD: fragrances, preservatives, dyes, colorants, perfumes, and colognes. Others include hair care products such as gel, soaps, sunscreen or toothpaste, and body wash ingredients like sodium lauryl sulfate and ammonium laureth sulfate (ALS).
Suppose you experience this kind of reaction on your skin after coming into contact with something like perfume or laundry detergent containing scented oils. In that case, chances are good that you’re suffering from an allergic contact dermatitis allergy.
How Do You Deal With Fragrance Sensitivity?
There are two ways to deal with fragrance sensitivity: prevention and treatment.
These involve taking active steps to prevent the occurrence of allergic reactions or fragrance sensitivity. There are several preventive measures you can take:
1. Keep all fragrances off yourself.
If you want to avoid fragrance sensitivity, the best thing you can do is avoid scented products by all means. If you must use a scented product, ensure it’s natural and minimize contact with your skin. For example, if your shampoo has a floral scent, try switching to one that uses essential oils instead of artificial fragrances.
2. Utilize scent-free products.
To prevent any potential allergic reactions, another option is to use products that are fragrance-free or have minimal fragrance. If you’re unsure if a product contains fragrances, read the ingredients list carefully. You can also look for products labeled as fragrance-free and those with low or no scent.
3. Avoid heavily scented environments.
In addition to avoiding heavily scented products in your day-to-day life, try to avoid highly perfumed environments. This includes malls or stores with heavy air fresheners or spray deodorizers. You can also add hotels with aromatherapy rooms and even walk past someone wearing strong perfume or cologne.
4. Ask your friends, spouse, and co-workers to avoid wearing or using heavily-fragranced products around you.
If you think you’re allergic to fragrances or you exhibit signs of fragrance sensitivity, you can ask your friends and family to avoid wearing heavily scented products around you. They can also help by using unscented products and showering before visiting you.
If someone in your life is wearing a heavy fragrance, such as perfume or cologne, and it causes a reaction on your skin or in your lungs, ask them to stay away from you until they wash the product off their skin and clothes.
5. Use protective gear like a nose mask or eyeglasses.
If your sensitivity is severe and you are unsure what ingredients or fragrance triggers the reaction, it’s best to use protective gears. You can use a mask to protect your nose, a face shield (face mask), or goggles to protect your eyes. Also, you can wear sleeves to ensure that your arms are covered.
6. Use an air purifier.
An air purifier is a device that removes dust particles and other allergens from the air. It can be a stand-alone unit or part of a whole-house system. An air purifier is an essential part of your fight against fragrance sensitivity and allergy, as it reduces the number of airborne particles in your home.
Unlike preventive measures that protect you from fragrance sensitivity and allergy, the treatment method helps you recover from a reaction. Here are some treatment methods to help you out:
1. Nasal antihistamine medications.
If you think you have an allergic reaction and your symptoms don’t seem to be caused by another condition, it’s essential to seek medical attention right away. Your doctor may be able to perform a skin test or blood test that will help determine what is causing your symptoms.
If the tests show that you have allergies, they can prescribe medications that block histamine production like nasal antihistamines such as cetirizine and loratadine or oral antihistamines such as diphenhydramine.
2. Corticosteroid medications.
Taking corticosteroid medications can help you treat fragrance sensitivity and allergic reactions. These medications reduce inflammation in your nasal passages and skin but may cause side effects like headaches, insomnia, and even mood swings. If you’re experiencing an allergic reaction that seems to be from a fragrance allergen, applying corticosteroid cream will likely do the trick.
3. Colloidal oatmeal bath.
A colloidal oatmeal bath is another possible treatment. It’s made from finely ground oats suspended in water and can be added to your bathwater. The colloidal oatmeal helps soothe and moisturize the skin. This does not cure your sensitivity, but it can help to ease the itching and dryness.
How Do You Know If You’re Allergic to Fragrance?
When you come in contact with something that causes an allergic reaction like fragrance or nickel, your body releases chemicals called histamines that cause symptoms like redness and itching. Histamines can also cause swelling if they accumulate around swollen areas of your body like eyelids or lips due to dermatitis caused by fragrances.
Histamines may also cause rashes on parts of your body where there aren’t any open wounds; this type of rash is known as eczema or atopic dermatitis. Fragrance allergy is a common condition that affects 5%–10% of people in the U.S., according to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD).
1. Take note of the occurrence.
Start by keeping a record of when your symptoms occur and whether any particular fragrances seem to trigger them. This means that when something smells bad or causes irritation, jot it down in your journal. The more data you have about what sets off your allergy, the better the chance of identifying the cause.
2. Outbreak of hives.
Hives, also called urticaria, are raised, swollen, itchy bumps that can appear anywhere on the body. Hives are caused by an allergic reaction to something you come into contact with. And if you notice hives after using your fragrance, then there is a chance that you are allergic to any ingredient in the perfume.
3. Formation of blisters.
If you’ve ever had a mosquito bite that swells into a large, red bump and fills with fluid, you know what blisters are. They’re fluid-filled bumps that can form on the skin from burns, allergic reactions to substances like fragrances, poison ivy, bee stings, or infections.
4. Sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion.
If you experience any of the following symptoms after using your fragrance, you’re likely allergic to it:
- Runny nose
- Nasal congestion
- Watery eyes
- Itchy eyes, nose, or throat
If your allergy symptoms occur shortly after using a product with added fragrance, try to narrow down which ingredient is causing them. Start testing different elements one at a time and see if a particular feature causes an adverse reaction.
5. Tearing and burning, and some swelling of the eyelids.
If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, a fragrance allergy may be a cause:
- Redness and swelling of the eyelids are often accompanied by itching and burning.
- Swelling, redness, and irritation of the eyes.
Fragrances can trigger allergic reactions, and if your allergies seem to flare up only when certain types of scents are present in your environment, you should avoid them. Suppose you have allergies or sensitivities to fragrances. In that case, it might help to prevent products with unknown aromas because you won’t know exactly what’s in them and how your skin will react accordingly.
When in doubt, see a doctor and ask for an allergy test. The sooner you identify your allergies and start treating them, the better off you’ll be.

Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon has joined 25 Republican governors in calling on President Biden today to restore America’s energy independence amidst the crisis In Ukraine.
They stated the following:
“As governors, we call on President Biden to reverse his policies and restore America’s energy independence for our citizens as well as our allies abroad. By removing his ...
Barrasso appeared on Fox News to discuss Biden's decision to withdraw troops, and the 3rd ranking member of the Senate Republican party pulled no punches when it came to his critiques of the president.
President Biden has appointed Governor Mark Gordon to the Council of Governors, a Bipartisan council that serves as the lead forum to "strengthen partnerships between the Federal government and State governments to better protect the nation from threats to our homeland security and all types of hazards."
"Republicans are going to fight for American values; the values which have built this country and made it strong. And we’re going to continue to stand up and fight against these tax increases and massive borrowing and spending that Joe Biden and the liberal left party continue to do in a way that I view as radical, extreme, dangerous, and scary.”
"Actions like the ones President Biden took today infringe on the constitutional rights of law-abiding Americans, while doing nothing to prevent criminals from committing the tragic attacks we have seen in communities across our country."

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26- First Lady Michelle Obama announced a new partnership with Goya Foods, the largest, Hispanic-owned U.S. food company, and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to promote “My Plate” or “Mi Plato.”
The First Lady joined Bob Unanue, president of Goya Foods, today in Tampa, Florida to promote the Spanish-language version of “My Plate,” the USDA’s new educational tool replacing the Food Pyramid. "My Plate" illustrates the five food groups on a plate image for proportions.
“Any culture can interpret the plate in a way that is true to their traditions,” said the First Lady at the National Supermarket in Tampa. “You just fill up half of the plate with fruits and vegetables, you start there, and you fill the rest of it with lean proteins, whole grains, low-fat dairy products. It is just that simple.”
She said the Administration worked with groups including the National Council of La Raza, the League of United Latin American Citizens and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus over the past two years to learn about Hispanic communities.
“Hispanic parents are facing pretty much the same challenges that everyone else is,” she said. “But we also know that the Hispanic communities face unique challenges. While one in three kids in America are overweight or obese, we know that in the Hispanic community, it’s nearly two in five.”
She added that the economic recession hit Hispanic communities especially hard, making it more difficult to buy fresh, healthy food given that Hispanic neighborhoods have one-third as many supermarkets as non-Hispanic neighborhoods.
“But also we have to understand that government doesn’t have all the answers. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to this kind of issue,” she said. “Companies like Walgreens and SuperValu are making commitments to sell healthy food in 1,500 underserved communities. That’s huge.”
Goya is using the "Mi Plato" icon on the labels of products like beans, black beans, chickpeas and pinto beans. The company is also producing coupons, pamphlets and cookbooks.
“Thanks to Goya’s new commitments, parents across the country will have the information, the tips, the recipes they need to put this framework into practice,” said the First Lady. “And truly, that is what we miss. It's just the information. We just need to know how this works.”
“My Plate” is part of Michelle Obama's “Let's Move!” initiative.
Goya Foods announced it will collaborate with “Let's Move!” and USDA in the following ways:
• A Goya-produced brochure featuring a series of recipes that meet the Dietary Guidelines that support MiPlato and ten tips for healthy eating. The Goya sales force will offer these brochures to 32,000 supermarkets to distribute in their communities.
• Goya will print MiPlato posters for distribution in various supermarkets and grocery stores.
• Goya will produce brochures with a Goya savings coupon that will be distributed to a variety of national Hispanic associations and organizations at the various festivals and events that Goya sponsors throughout the year.
• In the spring, Goya will launch the official MiPlato cookbook and distribute copies to their consumers.
• Goya developed comprehensive lesson plans for 4th through 6th grade students using beans as education characters, and will distribute these to elementary schools in six major cities including New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Miami and Tampa.
• The MiPlato icon will be printed on six different Goya products including black beans, pinto beans, white beans, chick peas, red kidney beans and the sazón Goya natural and complete.

|Boats like this one on Terrace Drive in Annandale would be banned in a Community Parking District.|
Mason Supervisor Penny Gross plans to decide by this summer whether to go forward with a proposal to create a Community Parking District (CPD) to cover the entire Mason District.
Within a CPD, boats, motor homes, campers, trailers, vehicles with three or more axles, 12,000 pounds or more, or holding 16 more passengers could not be parked on residential streets.
Some people misinterpreted the concept, thinking that a parking lot would be created for RVs and boats, Gross said. That’s not correct; owners of the vehicles would be responsible for parking them in a driveway or putting them in storage.
Mount Vernon was the first district to create a districtwide CPD. The Lee District followed, and Springfield and Hunter Mill have large CPDs. There are smaller CPDs all over the county but only two in Mason District: along Pine Vista Drive in the Pinecrest community and along a section of Old Columbia Pike between Little River Turnpike and Elmdale, which Gross says was “becoming a storage lot.”
A community association or HOA can request the creation of a CPD. That requires a petition showing at least 60 percent of residents of the area and at least 50 percent of the residents of each block support the CPD and a $10 fee for each petitioning address. The Board of Supervisors would hold a hearing, and if the CPD is approved, FCDOT would install signs.
Establishment of a districtwide CPD doesn’t require a petition or fees. If Gross goes ahead with the proposal, there would be a public hearing, and if approved by the BoS, there would be an effort to educate the public about the rule changes.
During the first 30 days, the police would give warnings, not tickets. After that, vehicles parked illegally would get a warning notice, and after two days, could be towed.
Officer Bob Otten, supervisor of the traffic enforcement department at the Fairfax County Police Department, said when the first large CPDs were created, the police thought owners of boats and RVs would move them to another street outside the CPD boundaries. But that didn’t happen.
Within communities controlled by an HOA, there are usually more restrictive parking bans, so residents often move boats and RVs to nearby public streets. That would no longer be allowed if the whole area is a CPD.
People are allowed to park vehicles on other streets if they are within easy walking distance but there is no hard and fast rule on how far that should be, Otten said.
Parking has become more of an issue in recent years, said Gross, because households have more cars. Also more businesses are requiring employees to take company vehicles home at night.
A member of the audience complained about a stretch of Ravensworth Drive – between Little River Turnpike and Jayhawk Street in Annandale – where large commercial trucks regularly park. That particular part of Ravensworth is zoned commercial, so truck parking is allowed, Gross said.
Otten reviewed some parking rules:
- Under state law, an unattended vehicle can’t be parked in the same spot for more than 10 days.
- If the police come across an unregistered vehicle near a home, they put a notice on it asking the owner to put the correct tags on it and call the police. If there is no response, the police will tow the vehicle.
- You can’t put cones in front of your house to prevent people from parking there.
- Residents are allowed to keep up to two taxis or limos with Virginia licenses – one in the driveway and one in the street, as long as there is other parking available on the street.
- Public service vehicles, such as a Dominion or tree-trimming vehicles, are allowed to park in a CPD while work is being done. Plumbers or other workers can park in front of a house while doing repairs.
- You can’t park within 10 feet of a driveway, 15 feet of a fire hydrant, 20 feet of an intersection, 20 feet of a crosswalk, 30 feet of a stop sign, 60 feet on the approach side of a bus stop, and 10 feet on the departure side of a bus stop.

I know from experience that making music is wonderful! And when you have a great vocal track that is recorded correctly under the right conditions, I feel like I’m in heaven because a great vocal track brings everything together and allows the song to shine. But do you need a vocal booth if you want to have a professional vocal recording? Let’s find out!
You don’t need a vocal booth; creating one requires a lot of time and money; also small vocal booths are acoustically problematic. It is possible to create radio-ready recordings without a booth with proper mic placement, a vocal screen, acoustic panels, moving blankets, a pop filter and a good mic.
Reason 1: Vocal Booths Make Your Recordings Sound Worse
I should clarify that in this case, I’m referring to small vocal booths when I say that they make your recordings sound worse. This is because in small rooms, you have added reflections, phase, and distortions effects, and this is something you want to avoid at all cost! To be fair Big vocal booths are suitable for recording vocals, but you must have the luxury of large studio space, and if you are a bedroom producer, chances are you don’t have that luxury.
Reason 2: Vocal Booths Take Time and Are Expensive to Make
Creating a professional vocal booth takes time and money. If you are constructing the vocal booth by yourself, depending on the daily amount of time you can invest, it will take you a couple of weeks and up to a month to create it. The amount of money you will need to invest ranges between $800 and $5000, with $1500 being a fairly realistic expectation.
If you don’t wish to invest so much time and money later on in this article, I will talk exactly about how to achieve professional recording results without the use of a vocal booth.
Reason 3: Correct Mic Placement Is More Important Than a Vocal Booth
Knowing how to correctly place the microphone so that you can capture the sound source in the best way possible is essential. There are three widely used mic placements, Distant miking, close miking, and stereo miking, and I will review all three techniques later in this article.
Reason 4: Having a Vocal Booth Means You Sacrifice Precious Studio Space
If you’re like most producers, you most likely record, produce and mix in one single room, and having a vocal booth means that you will sacrifice precious studio space.
You always want to have your production and mixing place as large as possible; this is because audio frequencies perform better in large areas since there is more space for the audio frequencies to travel. I’m specifically referring to lower frequencies. As a rule of thumb, large long deep rooms will have fewer problems in the lower audio frequency spectrum.
Now, if your room is quite big and you have extra space that allows you to create a large vocal booth that you’ll frequently use, then go for it! But if your space is NOT that big, there are other solutions which we will see later on.
Reason 5: Vocal Booths Need Proper Ventilation
If you want a vocal booth, then proper ventilation is a must. You absolutely need a fan to poor fresh air into the booth and a second fan to poor the hot air out of the booth. This immediately becomes an issue because both fans must be absolutely silent, you don’t want to have a buzzing fan noise on your vocal recordings, this would oppose the use of a vocal booth in the first place.
Reason 6: Vocal Booths Need Proper Lighting
Having enough light inside the vocal booth is also very important. Proper lighting is needed for the artist to read their lyrics while singing, But if the electrical wires are not properly isolated, this can create electric noise to your recordings.
Reason 7: You Can Achieve Professional Results with Other Cheaper and Faster Solutions
There are other much cheaper and faster solutions that you can use to achieve professional recordings in your studio without using a vocal booth. Actually, there are six things that you have to do if you want the best recording results without the use of a booth, let’s explore them right now.
This Is an Overview of the Products You Will Need
Product 1: A Vocal screen.
Use the Monoprice Microphone Isolation Shield (click on the link to check the current price on Amazon).
Product 2: Acoustic Absorption Panels.
Use the BXI Sound Absorber – Acoustic Absorption Panel (click on the link to check the current price on Amazon).
Product 3: Heavyweight Moving Blankets
Heavyweight moving blankets use only the Sure-Max 6 Moving & Packing Blankets – Heavy Duty Pro (click on the link to check the current price on Amazon).
Product 4: A Pop Filter.
Product 5: A Proper Microphone
The Neewer NW-800. This is the best budget mic. Period! (click on the link to check the current price on Amazon) or if you have a larger budget consider a Premium Mic such as the Rode NT1-A (click on the link to check the current price on Amazon).
Do These Six Things to Achieve Professional Recording Results Without a Vocal Booth
There are six things you can do to achieve professional recordings without a vocal booth. These are:
1) for Professional Recordings Adjust the Singer’s Location
Place the singer in the center of the room, far away from walls and other reflective surfaces.
2) For Professional Recordings Use a Vocal Screen
This is a great tool that will automatically make your recording sound much-much more professional! I have tested almost all vocal screens and the one that sounds the best and is also affordable is the Monoprice Microphone Isolation Shield. The Monoprice isolation shield is 1/3 the price of the overpriced sE Electronics Reflexion Filter but does exactly the same job!
Also, keep in mind that the majority of reflection problems come from the same direction your recording in, therefore be careful not to neglect the area behind the singer. You will discover how to do that in a minute, just keep reading. 🙂
3) For Professional Recordings Place an Absorbent Surface Behind the Singer
An absorbent surface behind the singer will minimize reflections. You can use either acoustic absorption panels or moving blankets. As I mentioned above the biggest reflection sound issues, come from the same direction your recording in (from the front and from the back).
Since we’ve got the front of the singer covered with our vocal screen, its now time to adress the reflection issue from the back of the singer to create a 100% professional recording result.
How to Use Absorption Panels
One thing I must mention right of the bat is that absorption panels are used to minimize echoes and not to make a room appear quieter. There’s a big difference between sound treatment and soundproofing. Absorption panels are used for sound treatment meaning your recordings will become more professional with less room-echo.
If the back of the singer is located close to a wall or a corner, place the absorption panels on the wall and in an arc behind the singer around the corner of the room. Doing this will minimize reflections that would normally occur without the absorption panels.
You could go DIY using Rockwool, built a wood frame around them, and wrap them into fabric. This is an inexpensive option, but it’s bad for your health since Rockwool releases small particles that creep up into your longs and can create all sorts of health issues.
What I prefer to use instead are premade budget acoustic absorption panels, you can find the ones I use right here BXI Sound Absorber – Acoustic Absorption Panel (click on the link to check the current price on Amazon).
How to Use Moving blankets
Moving blankets can be a great inexpensive solution to reduce noise and minimize reflections. I recommend this product Sure-Max 6 Moving & Packing Blankets – Heavy Duty Pro (click the link to check the current price on Amazon). because it delivers exceptional results!
NOTE: Please, please, please DONT buy cheap mooving blankets as they will NOT do the job. Yes these are more expensive but they will 100% minimize sound reflections. Please trust me on this one.
Here are two techniques you can use with these moving blankets to minimize reflections and some execs noise when recording vocals in your studio.
A) Use Moving Blankets to Minimize Reflections Technique 1
Another great solution is hanging the moving blankets from the ceiling, forming a circle around the singer minimizing reflections. This technique works like a charm even if you have a small recording space because you can hang the blankets only when you need them and remove them after you’re done.
B) Use Moving Blankets to Minimize Reflections Technique 2
The simplest way to use moving blankets and control the reflection’s behind the singer is:
- Use three boom microphone stands.
- Raise the stands all the way up, transforming them into the shape of a giant “T.”
- Hang the blankets over the stands.
- Place the stands behind the singer.
This is a very simple and portable set up you can use to minimize reflections when recording vocals inside a large room.
4) for Professional Recordings, Use a Good Microphone.
I recommend the Neewer NW-800 (click on the link to visit Amazon); this is the best cheap microphone you can buy for under $30! If you’re on a tight budget, look no further because this mic will blow you away and is much better than a lot of other expensive mics!
Note: If you’re recording scream vocals, purchase the Rode instead (mentioned bellow) since the Rode will perform better at very low or scream vocals.
If you have a few dollars more to spend, I recommend the awesome Rode NT1-A (click on the link to visit Amazon). This microphone is incredible for almost any vocal situation! You can record awesome rap, pop and even scream vocals with it. Keep in mind that you will most definitely need a pop filter, but if you purchase this microphone from the link, I provided the pop filter is included.
5) For Professional Recordings Use Correct Mic Placement and Recording Distance
Most recording tutorials talk about which types of microphones to use, but what’s even more important than the kind of mic is the mic placement, meaning where you place the mic in regards to the sound source.
Try and experiment with whatever type of microphone you have, whether it’s your smartphone’s mic, a USB microphone, a condenser, or a dynamic microphone. If you don’t have a mic or you wish to upgrade, scroll up to read my mic recommendations.
To get you started, I will give you an overview of three popular microphone placement techniques:
A) Mic Placement-Distant Miking: This technique involves placing your microphones about three or 4 feet away from the singer; this enables you also to capture some of the sound of the room. Meaning that if your room has a lot of reverb, your recording will also have a lot of reverb in it.
B) Mic Placement-Close Miking: When we use close-miking, we place the microphone within a couple of feet of the sound source. This is the technique you’ll use more often because it captures 90% of the sound source and only 10% of the sound of the room.
Even if you use the close mic technique, I still recommend you use a microphone isolation shield and absorption panels or moving blankets to minimize refections. We explored these options above, where I recommended the best products you can use.
C) Mic Placement-Stereo Miking: Lastly, we have stereo miking; in this technique, we use two microphones to capture the same source (left and right), resulting in a stereo field.
This technique can be quite complicated, but it has the advantage of capturing a very natural stereo image. I know for a fact this is the technique you will not (and should not) use almost at all, at least not before you’ve built up a decent amount of recording experience.
PRO TIP: Microphone Distance Trick
When you’re recording your vocals using the close mic technique, You want to maintain a proper distance between your mouth and the microphone. A great trick to use is to simply extend your thumb and pinky finger, the distance between the two (about 11-12 inches) is the distance you should keep between yourself and the microphone.
6) For Professional Recordings Use a Pop Filter
Pop filters are necessary if you want to achieve the best result possible, what they do is they minimize the impact of the “P”, “S” & “B” sounds. Having a recording full of harsh P’s, S’s and B’s can be quite annoying! This is an issue that we experience more with condenser and ribbon microphone; dynamic mics don’t suffer from this problem as much. You can use either the Nady MPF-6 or the Neewer Professional Microphone Pop Filter (click on the links to check the current price on Amazon).
Consider a Vocal Booth Only in the Following Scenarios
At this point, I should highlight that the primary use of a vocal booth is to isolate external sounds, and the primary advantage of a vocal booth is sound separation.
Therefore, you should consider a vocal booth if you live in a very noisy area, and even when you close all doors and windows, you can still hear unwanted noises in your recordings.
You should also consider a vocal booth if you want to go 60’s style and plan to record in the studio simultaneously with a full band. In the past, music bands like Led Zeppelin, The Doors, or The Rolling Stones all recorded in one room at the same time. This, of course, forced them to have a separate vocal booth for the singer and also sometimes a separate booth for the drummer.
Today in the digital age, we have the luxury to record each instrument separately and combine them later on in a single track.
Lastly, you should consider creating a vocal booth if you are building a high-end professional studio for bands to record their music.
Just to clarify, you don’t need a vocal booth to create high-quality music. But if you are constructing a high-end professional recording studio and you have the added space and budget, then opt for a proper large vocal booth with a window in the middle to be able to communicate with the singer easily. This is the norm in big studios.
Don’t waste money on a vocal booth unless you are building a professional recording studio, have the budget, the time, and know what you’re doing. As I mentioned before, you should also have a fairly large studio space that allows you to create a large vocal booth.

Westminster Industrial Estate, Charlton
In November 2016, U+I were selected by Royal London, the UK’s largest mutual life, pensions and investment company, to form a development partnership for the regeneration of the Westminster Industrial Estate in Charlton.
They were selected, following a competitive process, along with Galliard Homes, London’s largest private residential developer. Together they will work to develop the principal part of the estate into a new £200 million (Gross Development Value) creative style urban quarter for London.
Located directly next to the Thames Barrier, the historic 5.8 acre industrial site will provide around 450 residential and creative workspace units designed around new public areas and landscaped grounds. The proposals will be designed by architects and master planners Studio Egret West.
The locality has been a significant industrial area since the 1870s, and it is hoped that heritage restoration and new buildings will kick-start the wider regeneration of this under-recognised area of London.
U+I and Galliard Homes have combined their respective expertise in partnership, development, sales and construction in a unique joint venture which will optimise the potential of the site; engaging with the local community and council to shape the development, alongside wider plans for the regeneration of Charlton Riverside.
U+I already has a strong presence in the area, with the neighbouring 10 acre Charlton Riverside Industrial Estate acquired, in joint venture with Proprium, in 2015. Their existing portfolio of projects within Greenwich include The Movement, and Morden Wharf on the Greenwich Peninsula.
Richard Upton, Deputy Chief Executive of U+I said:
“We have been working in Greenwich for 25 years and here is another opportunity to deliver something that restores opportunity and celebrates the historic provenance of the area. We see this as a fantastic opportunity to bring a much-needed and truly exciting regeneration to Charlton. This project has all the hallmarks of a seminal piece of regeneration that can provide a part of London for real Londoners. We intend to deliver something quite exceptional.”
Stephen Conway, Chief Executive Office of Galliard Homes commented:
"We are thrilled to be working with U+I and Royal London to transform this important industrial estate into a new urban quarter providing a sustainable mixture of uses, including residential, in order to deliver a high quality environment which will benefit the local economy."

Setting up, sex distinctions, and rising research for a landscape that is changing.
THE BASIC PRINCIPLES
Everyone understands https://hookupwebsites.org/swinger-dating/ a large number of individuals utilize apps like Tinder for fulfilling lovers for casual intercourse, or “hooking up.” Information from the survey that is recentCarpenter and McEwan, 2016) of university students implies that in this test, the most effective three good reasons for utilizing dating apps had been, in an effort: entertainment, dating, and intercourse (a detailed 3rd).
In the event that you flick through Tinder, that we have actually, it is quite the menagerie. A panoply of human being splendor, in the event that you will, but frequently poignant and lonely. Every so often similar to a walk through Amsterdam’s Red Light District, perhaps maybe not with regards to literal economic deals, however in the feeling of a candidly department store window displayвЂ”mass objectification that is sexual.
One receives the slight hint that you can easily find a fan, take-out or distribution. At in other cases, it appears as though individuals are to locate one thing durable, the vaunted attachment that is secure, with admonitions to “swipe left” if shopping for a hook-up, and frank inquiriesвЂ”looking for the life partner, 40-something with “eggs on ice.”
In this scholarly research, scientists calculated disgust utilizing the Three Domain Disgust Scale, score products from “not disgusting at all” to “extremely disgusting.” A typical example of an item that is sex-related “hearing two strangers making love,” and a conventionally non-sexual productвЂ””stepping on dog poop.” Each person have actually more powerful or weaker reactions that are gross-out.
Sociosexual orientation had been predicted with the Revised Sociosexual Orientation stock, utilizing subscales for Behavior, personality, and want: e.g., “With what number of various lovers maybe you have had sexual activity on one and just one event?”; “Intercourse without love is okay”; and “just how frequently have you got sexual arousal with some body with who you don’t have a committed romantic relationship?” correspondingly.
THE BASIC PRINCIPLES
Intercourse Crucial Reads
Sexual Regret Doesn’t Alter Future Sexual Behavior
Why It Looks Like Other Individuals Enjoy Sex A Lot More Than You Do
Disgust is believed to provide an evolutionary part. When it comes to intimate behavior, disgust may enhance mate selection and lower danger ( ag e.g., std, unwelcome maternity, bonding with unsuitable mates). Guys are, on average, greater risk takers than females, plus it is reasonable that greater degrees of disgust will be connected with reduced inspiration for casual intercourse.
Why then in this test, for ladies, did intimate disgust perhaps not straight predict making use of Tinder to attach? The research writers hypothesize that ladies who utilize Tinder could have reduced intimate disgust sensitivity to begin with, leading to a biased test.
The authors wonder if women on Tinder are on average less disgusted by sex than women in general, suggesting that Tinder users may be a self-selected sample of women who are less disgusted by sex, and consequently more sex-positiveвЂ”and in turn, more likely to engage in casual sex in other words. Another element could be exactly exactly how one that is attractive photos areвЂ”men just take more dangers when shown more desirable pictures, and internet dating users tend to publish their “best” (many appealing) pictures.
At the conclusion of your day, internet dating continues to be the equivalent that is cyber-sexual of Wild, crazy western. Evidence-based sounds that are dating to your ear, but increasingly more research is coming to share with the way in which dating apps work, and also this is the advent of big information.
Real-time dating apps like Tinder intensify the social situation that is dating fulfilling impulsive habits, because of the expectation of instant satisfaction (delivering casual intercourse quickly and geographically conveniently). They have been basically gratifying impulsivity, which is often practical and dysfunctional. Since disgust is very good at placing the brake system on impulsivity, the lack of disgust as a principal aspect in this test of females on Tinder shows that there might be less doubt to take part in a hookup.
Liquor as well as other medications, frequently a right component of casual intercourse along with conventional courtship quite often, further reduce impulse control and may play a role in hookups. You might consider reducing your sexual disgust sensitivity and increasing your sociosexual comfort levelвЂ”otherwise, you could end up with a bad hangover, emotionally and possibly literally if you are looking for casual sex on Tinder.
Individuals trying to find an entrГ©e to a relationship that is long-term fare better on less immediate, conventional online dating services, though transitioning up to a “real” relationship ‘s stilln’t super easy or most most most likely. If you’re to locate one thing more enduring, fulfilling at social activities, and via relatives and buddies, will always be the primary techniques individuals meet and remain together.
It can be entertaining and interesting, putting in the effort upfront to meet people traditionally will improve the odds of finding love while it is easier to go online in some ways, and. Irrespective, for the peace that is own of, be clear regarding the very very own motivations and desires whenever datingвЂ”whether making use of conventional or real-time dating apps or conference face-to-face.
In specific, if you’d like to result in the most readily useful choices feasible regarding sex and relationship, it can help to learn just how much you are interested in casual intercourse and simply how much for the committed relationship, regardless if you are wanting to make use of intercourse to ascertain a relationship, simply how much intercourse disgusts you, and exactly what your attitudes are about sex. After that you can make informed alternatives on how to place your self (no pun meant) and exactly exactly what avenues to make use of to satisfy people to realize your relationship objectives well.

Congratulations to Sophie Wills, one of our graduate paramedic interns at Dubbo Station in the Western Sector, for her selection as Employee of the Month.
The 22 year old founded the Community Defib Project, a registered not-for-profit organisation which is installing community accessible automated external defibrillators (AED) into vulnerable communities.
The project is a collaboration between Western Sydney University, the Defib shop and community members. With no ongoing Government funding or support, it relies on donations, sponsorship and profit from merchandise sales.
Sophie chairs a Board of Directors, made up of medical experts and passionate community volunteers to drive the fundraising for each AED unit.
The group has already raised $60,000 and installed 28 devices across nine communities including Wiseman’s Ferry, St Albans, Catherine Hill Bay, Maroota, Spencer, East Kurrajong, Upper Colo Valley, Colo Valley Heights and Sackville-Ebenezer.
Sophie said she was humbled by the nomination but was very happy word was spreading about the program and its success.
“I had no idea I was nominated, no idea at all,” Sophie said.
“I’ve been supported with this project in my discussions with Dominic Morgan and Alan Morrison who have been very helpful,” she said. “Now that our organisation is progressing and getting bigger, the word is out.”
Sophie said the idea for more community defibrillators came to her after a family friend had a cardiac arrest and help was 75kms away from where they were. With time being critical during a sudden cardiac arrest, the project’s aim is to have every person within 10 minutes of defibrillation.
“Every minute that goes by without defibrillation means survival is reduced by 7-10%,” Sophie said.
“I was in my second year of studies when I started thinking what it would take to provide the equivalent of what paramedics provide if we were in those communities.”
Now the momentum is picking up for the program, Sophie is hoping to be in touch with all communities across the state and is keen to start fundraising and gather volunteers for the work.
“We have a big challenge ahead to find funding to complete the project across NSW,” she said.
“Ultimately, providing a community with the tools to save a life during a sudden cardiac arrest is what is most important.”
