Florence South Carolina Class C RV Rental Reviews
This was a terrific experience. We have never had an rv before and I was a bit nervous to drive it. Kristy and family delivered and explained everything thoroughly even where their chairs were in the storage. The rv was clean and comfortable and extremely well taken care of. Generator and heater worked perfectly! The girls had a blast on the bunk beds and sitting at the table. I can’t say enough good things about this experience. Thank you Kristy and family for being a big part of a really terrific memory filled weekend!
Experience was on par with our expectations, the unit was clean and everything worked as described. Mark was easy to work with and we'd rent the unit again if the opportunity presents itself.
Easy to work with
Fantastic experience. We went from Charleston SC to Newport RI. Shelley was very professional and a pleasure to deal with. The camper was easy to drive and very comfortable. My wife and I are looking forward to booking with Shelly again. Great experience!

Vitamins necessary for hair growth
The most effective way to promote hair growth is to follow a balanced and varied diet, which is not always easy, I admit. In this article, let's discover the foods and vitamins to choose when you want to boost hair growth.
Focus on 8 Vitamins that activate hair growth
Hair grows and falls out in cycles. This is called the hair life cycle. The first phase is the anagen phase, also called the growth phase. It lasts 3 to 5 years, years during which the hair will grow and remain anchored in the scalp. This period is the most important because it is at this time that you must take care of your hair fiber the most from the inside and the outside in order to have good quality keratin. Keratin is the protein responsible for the strength, beauty and length of hair.
The second phase is the catagen phase, also called the resting phase. During this phase, the hair grows, but it remains attached to the hair follicle. It prepares to fall out and give way to a new hair. This stage is very quick and only lasts 2 to 3 weeks.
The last phase of the hair life cycle is the telogen phase. It lasts 6 months on average. The hair is dead and eventually falls out, leaving a new hair shaft in place.
In order to boost hair growth and optimize the anagen phase, let's discover the vitamins necessary for creating healthy hair. The objective? Limit vitamin deficiencies and favor foods rich in nutrients.
Vitamin A is mainly known for its antioxidant properties. This is why it is one of the vitamins recommended to promote the proper functioning of hair growth. Many studies have shown that a lack of vitamin A may be linked to many health problems, including excessive hair loss.
Where to find vitamin A in food?
Vitamin A is present in the following foods:
- Almond Butter
- Liver of beef
Vitamin D is very important for stimulating nutrient absorption. This is why it is recommended to expose yourself to daylight, daily. Calcium is one of the essential ingredients for healthy hair follicles. Having a sufficient intake of vitamin D is very beneficial for hair growth.
Where to find vitamin D in food?
- Milk Cheese
- Cold cuts
- Enriched cereals
Just like vitamin C, vitamin E plays an antioxidant role promoting the health and beauty of hair. In a study published in Tropical Life Sciences Research , participants who consumed vitamin E supplements for 8 months experienced a 34.5% increase in hair growth.
Where to find vitamin E in food?
- Vegetal oils
- Peanuts and hazelnuts
- Tomato puree
B vitamins are the most effective vitamins for making hair strong, shiny and healthy.
Vitamin B7 influences the production of fatty acids within cells, which nourish the hair follicles of the scalp. Regular consumption of vitamin B7 helps fight brittle hair and improve hair growth. Many studies show that vitamin B7 deficiency is associated with hair loss. Its deficiency is associated with hair loss. This is why it is appropriate to follow a course of dietary supplements to avoid these deficiencies.
Where to find vitamin B7 in food?
- Egg yolk Almonds or walnuts
- Milk and derivatives
Vitamin is one of the essential nutrients in the diet for healthy hair. This nutrient acts as an antioxidant and protects against oxidative stress. Oxidative stress stops hair growth and accelerates its aging. Indeed, it is even linked to problems such as breaking and falling. On the other hand, vitamin C helps with the synthesis of collagen, which is an important part of hair structure.

- Citrus fruits such as orange,
- lemon and grapefruit
Vitamin B3 is associated with strong and healthy hair. There are some studies that support its antioxidant action. More specifically, it acts as an antioxidant and helps reduce premature aging of the hair.
Where to find vitamin B3 in food?
- Wheat and its derivatives
- Calf Liver or Lamb Liver
- Dried tomatoes
Known as vitamin H or Biotin. Vitamin B8 is an essential vitamin for hair growth. Indeed, this beauty vitamin plays a big role in hair growth since it allows the body to fix keratin through the synthesis of amino acids. In addition, it also helps put an end to hair loss thanks to its action on keratin during the anagen phase. Due to its high solubility, it is difficult for the body to retain vitamin B8, which is why the treatment of dietary supplements is strongly recommended.
Where to find vitamin B8 in food?
- Sweet Potatoes
Vitamin B5 is a vitamin called bepanthene, which accelerates hair growth and increases hair density. In addition, it is also one of the main constituents of Keratin, which is the main protein of hair.
Where to find vitamin B5 in food?

Steven Spielberg recently revealed a choice detail from a screening some three decades ago of “E.T.” at the White House. He told Aint It Cool News that after the film was over, President Ronald Reagan got up and told the small crowd of dignitaries, “There are a number of people in this room who know that everything on that screen is absolutely true.”
He was joking — Spielberg thinks — but it gave extra fuel to UFO conspiracy theorists.
That the choice anecdote has endured also speaks to what may be the most prestigious place for a filmmaker to get a film shown: a former narrow cloakroom in the East Wing of the White House that is now the 40-seat Family Theater.
Few other venues have quite the same cachet, or even the potential to create memorable tidbits for the history books. To get a movie screened there, especially one that is turned into an event, not only is an ego boost to filmmakers but can bring extra attention to a project and perhaps give it a boost at the box office.
The occupants of the Oval Office have cherished the screening room as a prized perk, with all of Hollywood serving as their own personal Netflix. In a tradition started years ago under then-MPAA chairman Jack Valenti, studios make their films available to the First Family upon request.
“I was just delighted. I was just like ‘This is fantastic,’?” says John Schultz, director of Relativity Media’s “Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer,” which the White House requested just days before its June debut. Presumably, the print was for President Obama’s daughters Sasha and Malia, but Schultz took it as a good sign for awareness of the movie. “It just speaks to what a wide reach our work has in the world. …The idea that the president or the president’s family is watching it, in such a historic spot, that is pretty amazing.”
Other movies that have screened during Obama’s term include “Star Trek,” “Julie & Julia,” “He’s Just Not That Into You” and “Slumdog Millionaire,” but the White House is somewhat reluctant to reveal a list of what was watched and when.
Because the screening room — officially called the White House Family Theater — is considered part of the private residence, White House press reps won’t comment. But the administration hasn’t been shy about publicizing events at the screening room that have stature: The documentary “Nuclear Tipping Point” is publicized; summer tentpoles are not.
HBO has been particularly adept at landing screenings, including one for “The Pacific” in March 2010 that drew a collection of veterans, military officials and, of course, Hollywood figures including the project’s producers, Spielberg and Tom Hanks. In what could easily pass for a segment on “Today” or “Entertainment Tonight,” the White House posted a video of the event on its website, with interviews with Hanks as well as remarks from Gen. James Conway, commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps, along with shots of Spielberg, operating a handheld camera, following the president in. “My first interview with any White House website, I must say,” Hanks says in the vid.
The White House also posted video of a February screening of another HBO project, “Thurgood,” from the play starring Laurence Fishburne. The Obamas actually hosted two screenings of the project, coming during Black History Month, with guests including Al Sharpton, Don Cheadle, director Michael Stevens, HBO’s Richard Plepler and members of Thurgood Marshall’s family.
“I think it is more of a privilege and an honor than something that gets people to turn on a television set or go to a theater,” says George Stevens Jr., who wrote the project about the first black Supreme Court justice.
Ultimately, landing a screening is as much about personal connections and good timing as it is about the president’s pop culture preferences.
For instance, HBO sent a copy of “The Pacific” to the White House social secretary before the administration agreed to put a screening on the calendar. But it undoubtedly helped that the network has been through the process before, with a much more elaborate screening of “From the Earth to the Moon” in the East Room of the White House in 1998 — an event that featured astronauts, celebrities and President Bill Clinton.
The screening of “Thurgood” was a foregone inclusion. Stevens Jr., who is co-chair of the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, talked about the play (which the cabler was later to film) when he first met Obama in 2003, and when it opened on Broadway five years later, Obama left him a voicemail message in which he said, “I think you know if I wasn’t running for president I’d be there.”
The unspooling of “Julie & Julia,” for which Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci and director Nora Ephron were invited to the White House, gelled with White House initiatives. First Lady Michelle Obama had just launched a campaign to promote fresh food and healthy eating.
Other movies have gotten attention that can best be described as fortuitous. Before the Super Bowl in 2009, as the White House was planning a watching party in the screening room, DreamWorks Animation sent 3D glasses for those gathered to watch its “Monsters vs. Aliens” 3D commercial during the game. The result was a now-famous picture of Obama and his friends wearing the 3D specs, giving a boost to pre-“Avatar” efforts to promote the next generation of the format. It helped that DreamWorks Animation had strong ties to the White House: Its CEO, Jeffrey Katzenberg, was an early supporter and campaign bundler.
Studios either directly supply movies to the White House upon request, or do it via the MPAA. The history of White House screenings goes way back to Woodrow Wilson, the first president to host a movie night at the White House. He screened “Birth of a Nation” in 1915.
Franklin Roosevelt was perhaps the first chief exec to upgrade the screening room, when he had a cloakroom converted into the narrow theater it is today — a rarefied space, but one that, despite renovations and upgrades, still is not necessarily the best place to see a movie. Filmmakers have been known to complain about sound quality, framing and even focus.
So intent is Hollywood in getting films shown there that the studios even helped pay for an extensive upgrade of the space during the Reagan years, adding terraced seating and other amenities. Another upgrade during President George W. Bush’s term saw the color scheme remade into movie-palace red.
The record of the Executive Mansion cinema is preserved thanks to Paul Fischer, the White House projectionist from the Eisenhower to the Reagan administrations. As chronicled in Irv Letofsky and Bill Knoedelseder’s 2003 documentary “All the President’s Movies,” Fischer recorded what was watched, when it was watched and who was there. The logs are full of choice nuggets, like the fact that Carter was among the most avid presidential movie-watchers (starting with “All the President’s Men,” some 480 movies were screened during his one term); or the number of times that Nixon saw “Patton” (three, contrary to the notion he watched it endlessly, but one screening came hours after he decided to expand the war in Vietnam). Nixon’s obsession with “Patton” became so notorious that he had to deny years later to David Frost that it affected his decision-making.
As recounted in Barbara Moran’s book “The Day We Lost the H Bomb,” in the midst of dealing with a 1966 crisis in which four hydrogen bombs were unaccounted for after a B2 and fueling tanker collision off the coast of Spain, Lyndon Johnson watched “Thunderball,” a James Bond thriller in which evil organization Spectre forces a NATO plane carrying two nuclear bombs to crash into the ocean. Johnson wasn’t a huge movie fan, but he had a favorite: “A President’s Country,” a documentary about himself that screened 18 times at the White House.
The most memorable screenings have been those when Hollywoo
d gets an invite, which all but guarantees that details will be made public. Reagan famously invited Warren Beatty, his political polar opposite, to screen “Reds” at the White House in 1982.
Perhaps no president was more a movie fan than Clinton, who was known to chat up guests about a film’s content and artistic merits during and after a screening. He also wasn’t reticent about sharing his movie tastes. In “All the President’s Movies” director David O. Russell is allowed to bring a video camera into a screening of his 1999 film “Three Kings,” a pic that wasn’t exactly a flattering portrait of U.S. policy in Iraq. “It is a great endorsement when you go to the White House and you have an irreverent film and you have a president who is open to it,” Russell says.

Although the metaverse is still in its infancy, there's no denying the massive potential of blockchain-based non-fungible tokens to unlock a new world of opportunities for artists through it.
NFT-based artworks have already started flooding the internet on platforms like OpenSea, and more and more players in the blockchain space are opening up to the idea of building a new art economy around NFTs. The NFT business is already worth billions of dollars and with the Metaverse, it could skyrocket into the trillions.
A Framework for Artists
The metaverse offers an exciting ecosystem where artists can thrive. It may still be far from getting universal adoption, but it's interesting to see how it'll affect artists who rely on NFTs to sell their art.
A shared virtual reality would be an exciting way to integrate all these networks into one space. Moreover, it could make communication more accessible, something that's particularly important for artists who want to be recognized by a much more expansive community.
At the moment, it’s hard to show off your NFT. You can flex if you’ve spent millions of dollars but beyond that, what can you do with it? Where can you put it? You can Google Beeple’s Everydays and see a picture of it, but you can also do that with the Mona Lisa and any other famous works of art. It’s not the same. Now imagine there was a common area you could go to, an online museum, where you could see the original NFT. The one NFT that started a digital revolution. Everydays could be a piece of digital history and one that deserves to be marvelled at. Perhaps one day there will be an NFT museum as famous as the Lourve, The British Museum or the Metropolitan. That’s what the Metaverse could provide for digital artists and for the community as a whole.
The Role of NFTs in the Metaverse
If NFTs can bridge the gap between blockchain, social media, and virtual reality in the Metaverse, then it can provide a huge opportunity for artists.
Imagine, for a moment, a celebrity interior designer giving you a virtual tour of a home in the metaverse. The interior designer takes you through the home and you particularly enjoy the artwork which you immediately buy as NFTs and put it into your own virtual home.
Artists can also contribute to the growth of NFTs through sales and other forms of monetization. This is a win-win situation for everyone: social media companies will get an advantage in the metaverse era, and artists can connect with users who appreciate their work.
Not only that, but NFTs also serve as a valuable tool for people to fund projects. They can buy NFTs during an initial coin offering, then sell them when they're more expensive in the future after their value has increased. So NFTs are here to stay, and it's up to social media companies to fully embrace this new technology that'll eventually create the realm of a shared virtual space for everyone.
Facebook Swoops in for the Metaverse
A metaverse is an intriguing option for social media companies like Facebook, which recently rebranded itself as Meta, looking to push the boundaries of the digital world. Moreover, it could be just what Facebook needs to redeem itself. A few months ago, the social media giant was downgraded by stock rating firms because it mishandled user data and lack of innovation.
Before making it official, Mark Zuckerberg talked about how the platform plans to shift its focus in building an interconnected set of experiences, eventually becoming part of the metaverse.
Metaverse is a perfect match for social media companies because of its decentralized properties that provide users with the right to choose.
The metaverse would allow users to own their identities, which is a significant change from what's happening in social media now, where people are forced to share so much personal information just for the sake of convenience.
For artists in the digital world, they expect continued growth with the help of the metaverse. With a shared virtual space where users have the freedom to display their works, more people will discover their art, which can help boost sales in future NFT transactions.
Virtual reality holds a lot of promise for artists because it gives them a wider audience to share their work with. But if social media companies do plan to adopt the metaverse fully, they must find a way to integrate it without sacrificing user privacy.
But with blockchain technology embedded into virtual spaces, people can enjoy the freedom of sharing their content while also maintaining control over how their works are being used.
How the Metaverse will play out is very much unknown. Whether Meta will be the first to control the space or if a new player will enter the race for our digital eyeballs, it’s still very up in the air. There is an assumption that Meta will win this arms race. It is reported to be investing over $10 billion in creating its Metaverse. But one might have thought that Blockbuster, Walmart, and Barnes and Nobles would have been major digital players as well. Whoever the winner is, NFTs will have a large role to play in the metaverse.

Rebecca Black To Release New Single
We haven’t seen the last of Rebecca Black yet. The 14-year-old is releasing a new single, “My Moment,” which will debut on Black’s YouTube channel at 8 p.m. on July 18, as well as the singer’s official website, RebeccaBlackOnline.com.
From July 19 onwards, the song will even be available for purchase on iTunes and other online venues, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The new single will be Black’s first new song since her debut, "Friday," made her an overnight online sensation in February. The song and Black were widely derided and parodied for the video, the banal lyrics and Black's auto-tuned voice.
"My Moment" will most likely be more of a big-budget affair with a professional video and footage of Black receiving an award at her junior high school and attending red carpet premieres to “tell the story of her sudden rise to fame,” according to a press statement. “It’s a fairytale story, but it happened in real life,” the statement continued. The song is written by Quinton Tolbert and Brandon "Blue" Hamilton, whose credits include a track on Justin Bieber’s Never Say Never: The Remixes. The video is produced by Charlton Pettus (Tears for Fears). Black is also putting the finishing touches on a five-track EP, which she will self-release in August.

We find the news you need to know, so you don't have to.
The new release will be a fitting end to an incredible year for Black. Despite being almost universally panned, the YouTube video for “Friday” surpassed Bieber’s “Baby” to become the most played YouTube clip of all time, with more than 167 million views and illicit copies popping up everywhere after Black pulled it off YouTube, citing copyright issue. The teenager even co-starred in the music video for Katy Perry’s new song, “Last Friday Night."

The title of this compendium sounds like the third Ahnuld Conan movie if Joel Schumacher had directed it.
All kidding aside, Conan The Phenomenon, by Paul M. Sammon, is a chronological examination of Conan the Barbarian, starting at the beginning, and going right up to 2007 “” and as expected, it contains a lot of Frank Frazetta art, and a detailed look at the making of the Conan films.
But this book is also loaded with little-seen material “” my interest in Conan runs fairly deep, and I found plenty of material that was new to me. Beyond the informative biographical material and comprehensive list of all the published novels, I loved the relatively clean-cut Conan, illustrated by Wally Wood, and clearly bearing the likeness of popular actor Victor Mature. And I almost laughed out loud at British publisher T.V. Boardman‘s cover to Conan the Conqueror. I want a poster of that cover.

When New Jersey residents want to divorce, it is smart for them to prepare before they actually file. It is not uncommon for many people to rush to file for divorce shortly after the start of the new year. Instead of rushing, it is better to plan ahead in order to make things go more smoothly.
When couples are arguing a lot, it is common for them to pry on each other. It is important that people who plan to file for divorce take care not to leave potentially embarrassing information for their spouse to find. They should also really think about whether a divorce is actually what they want. Talking to a therapist about it might help them to decide.
People should not forget to plan for the financial implications of a divorce. Ending a marriage can greatly negatively affect financial circumstances. People should understand that they may lose the ability to take important deductions, especially if they are married to a spouse who earns much less. They should also collect all of their financial documents before filing. Doing so can help them get an accurate picture of their finances. It is also sometimes hard for people to get financial documents from their spouse after they file for a divorce.
By staying calm and making preparations before filing for divorce, a person may make the ultimate case proceed in a much smoother and less conflict-filled manner. People who are intending to file for divorce may want to schedule an appointment with their family law attorney. They may want to bring their financial documents along with them to the appointment so the attorney is able to review them. This can be especially important during divorce negotiations when the attorney is trying to structure a property settlement agreement.

WASHINGTON – Mike Rizzo, general manager of the Washington Nationals, does not anticipate that the infielder Starlin castro come back with the club this season.
The Dominican Castro was suspended with pay on July 16 by the Major League Baseball office, under its policy on domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse.
Rizzo, who spoke to a group of reporters before Tuesday’s meeting with the Miami Marlins, did not say whether his statement about Castro was based on any idea that the procedure followed in these cases would be prolonged or not.
“The procedure is the procedure,” he emphasized. “You asked me if I plan to have Starlin Castro back and I said I do not plan that.”
The absence was imposed by policies adopted by the majors and the players union in 2015. It may be the first step toward a longer suspension.
This first suspension, during which the player continues to earn his salary but cannot play for up to a period of seven days, has been extended for some players under the terms of the policy in recent years, while the Major Leagues investigate an allegation.
Rizzo said he learned of the situation the night before Castro received the leave of absence. He added that he has not spoken with the player.
“This surprised me and upset me … It is something that cannot and should not happen,” he commented. “It will not happen with the Washington Nationals and if it happens we will correct it. That’s what I thought at the time. “
Castro was charged with sexual assault in connection with a 2011 Chicago incident, but did not face complaints to Chicago authorities.
Rizzo said the Nationals had done a background check on Castro before the Nationals signed him to a two-year contract in January 2020.
“I was very disappointed to hear this news. You know we check this. We take pride in our players in sports and beyond, and you know it, I’ve said it a million times, ”Rizzo said. “And right now we failed and I am responsible for the players I put on the roster and on the field.”

A Federal Judge Has Ruled That The 5 Pointz “Graffiti Mecca” Must Come Down
In a blow to an emerging art form, Judge Frederic Block will rule that property owners can tear down the “5 Pointz.” Artists had banded together to prevent the demolition, but Block decided that they lacked any right to stop the bulldozers. The area will soon be razed to create room for luxury, high rise apartments.
5 Pointz: From an Abandoned Building to International Art Scene.
For the past two decades, owners Jerry and David Wolkoff have let graffiti artists from around the world use their 200,000 square foot factory building in Long Island as a canvas. The 5 Pointz name for the five-story, block long industrial complex represents the coming together of New York’s five boroughs. The space, however, has outgrown these local roots and evolved into a haven for a burgeoning, international art community. Hip hop, pop and R&B stars, including Doug E. Fresh, Mobb Deep, DJ-JS1, Joan Jett, and Joss Stone, have come to admire its beauty.
More than just a space for artists to ply their trade, musicians, DJ’s, emcees and brake dancers regularly perform at the site. It’s become a flash point for hip hop culture. Filmmakers and photographers document the art works, and tour buses come to soak in the vibrant displays. A volunteer, Jonathan “Meres One” Cohen, has even created a 5 Pointz museum.
Competing Claims of Value
The beginning of the end for 5 Pointz started when a stairwell collapsed in 2009 and caused serious injuries to an artist. City officials investigated and cited the Wolkoffs for code violations, after which they decided to explore options for selling the property. Artists tried negotiating without success to purchase the property, but the Wolkoffs moved ahead with demolition plans. Artists fought back with a lawsuit under the little known Visual Artists Rights Act (VARA).
VARA endows creators with certain “moral” rights to their works. Moral rights stay with the artist and allow the artists some control over the uses to which their work is put. Say for example an artist sells a photograph, including the rights to use, sell or reproduce the photograph. The buyer, however, decides to use the photograph in a controversial exhibition insulting religious beliefs. A country that recognizes true moral rights might give the photographer some recourse against the buyer, even though he sold the economic (i.e. copyright) rights to that buyer.
Some European countries (and Canada) recognize moral rights in much the same manner as they recognize an artist’s economic (copyright) interest in his work. This is narrower in the U.S., however, which treats moral rights as a separate interest and not part of the traditional rights and remedies under copyright law. VARA endows creators with the following rights, but only for a narrow class of visual art:
- The right to claim authorship for their creations (“hey, I did this”)
- The right to prevent others from attaching the author’s name to works he/she didn’t create (“but I didn’t do that”)
- The right to prevent others from attaching the author’s name to works that others have alerted or mutilated if that would damage the author’s honor or reputation (“I didn’t do that, and I certainly wouldn’t”)
- The right to prevent alteration or mutilation to an author’s work that would damage his/her honor reputation (“you can’t make spaghetti of my art”)
If you own the right to protect your work’s “morality,” its dignity or author’s reputation, it’s possible to prevent the destruction of works even when others physically own or have the copyright to it. This is the argument the 5 Pointz artists presented Judge Block. They sought to prove the inherent value of the 5 Pointz art to the community. Art expert Daniel Simmons examined work by graffiti artist Lady Pink and an awe-inspiring mural of a sleeping woman with headscarf by Chilean artists Dasic Fernandez. In the end, Judge Block recognized “street art” as such, citing Banksy as notable example, but ultimately concluded that VARA protection did not extend to “aerosol works.”
“I’m getting the sense that the traditional academic way of looking at things needs to be updated,” Block said.
From 5 Pointz to Art Basel’s Pubic Art Displays
The 5 Pointz story is fascinating, and it got me thinking about how street art compares with the works that will be on display this year at Art Basel Miami. The essence of the art is that it shares a space with others who interact with it. Part of a mural’s beauty is in one’s ability to enjoy it just by walking by. No gallery, no appointment, no price or admission, just a form of communication between artists and art lover. Sometimes, however, the canvas – a building in many cases – belongs to others. It will be interesting to see how courts strike a balance between private property rights and the interests of the public in this type of art form, and whether the U.S. moves towards broader recognition of “moral” rights in art.

And you? What do you think? Should the building owner in 5 Pointz be able to raze the building without any recognition of what it became? Did the artists assume that risk? I would value your opinion.

Who says that diet foods have to be all plain and bland in taste? The way they are prepared can make a whole lot of difference when it comes to appealing to your taste buds. We all know that processed foods must be avoided and raw naturally grown whole foods should be consumed in weight loss. Choosing the right kind of spices is also important to match your food preferences.
The myriad spices available in the kitchen not only add flavor to your food but also come with several health benefits. Here are the best spices to include in your food to increase your metabolism and aid in fat loss.
Ginger is known to boost metabolism by 20% thereby speeding up the calorie-burning process greatly. Adding it to a dish and consuming it can help in fighting obesity. Having antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, this spice can reduce discomfort in the intestines. It is also shown to have active appetite-suppressant properties so that you don’t overeat.
This amazing spice helps in improving gut health, removing toxins from the colon, and melting fat. You can use ginger alongside honey to balance the strong flavor of ginger, boosting the immune system. It also helps in controlling blood sugar levels and aids in preventing spikes in glucose levels post a sugar or carb-rich diet.
Turmeric is a bright yellow aromatic powder that has been used as a medicinal herb in India for centuries. It has a compound called curcumin which gives it its bright color and helps in melting fat. Research conducted by Tufts University in 2009 suggests that turmeric helps in burning your body fat by increasing body heat and boosting metabolism. It is also known to fight arthritis and symptoms related to obesity and metabolic disorders. This spice helps in lowering bad cholesterol levels in the blood and in reducing inflammation. It aids in weight loss, improves the gut, and prevents microbial infections.
Cinnamon helps in suppressing appetite, lowering bad cholesterol, and accelerating the metabolic rate. The warm water helps in getting rid of toxins, supporting better bowel movement, and preventing bloating. It has some properties that can help curb your cravings.
With both sweet and strong flavors, Cinnamon helps in boosting metabolism and regulating blood sugar levels. You can reduce blood sugar, LDL, cholesterol, and triglycerides. This makes cinnamon ideal for type 2 diabetes. It can also boost glucose metabolism, improving blood sugar regulation.
Cardamom or elaichi is a thermogenic spice, meaning it helps in burning fat for fuel to heat the body. It also boosts metabolism and aids the fat-burning process. It prevents bloating and flushes out body toxins.
5. Black pepper
Black pepper is a spice rich in piperine which is responsible for giving it its characteristic flavor and preventing fat cell formation. This will help you in losing weight. Consider using it along with cayenne pepper to boost the fat loss efforts. When taken daily, it can give you a toned body and help maintain good gut health.
6. Cumin seeds
Cumin or jeera is a popular spice that helps the body gain the required energy. It has digestive properties which make it effective for weight loss. Good gut health can be maintained and toxins can be flushed out.
7. Cayenne pepper
Cayenne pepper is a pungent hot red powder that is loaded with a compound called capsaicin that helps produce body heat, fight obesity, and reduce craving. This eventually reduces body fat. It is known to burn 100 calories per meal.
Coriander is an aromatic spice that is rich in healthy fats, antioxidants and minerals like zinc, calcium, potassium, copper, and magnesium. It aids digestion and absorption and maintains bowel movement. This enhances the metabolism and burns calories.
9. Fennel seeds
Fennel seeds are used as a culinary spice and have medicinal uses also. Having a sweet taste, it helps in proper digestion. It is loaded with dietary fiber, vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals. The dietary fiber prevents fat absorption by binding the fat molecules. The antioxidants help in flushing out toxins and in preventing bloating. The constipation problems are relieved as it absorbs water throughout the digestive system.
10. Fenugreek seeds
Fenugreek seeds or Methi dana is used for treating obesity due to stress or inflammation, constipation, and cholesterol. It helps in boosting metabolism and also flushes out toxins from the body.
The world’s most popular garnish Parsley is more than just a seasoning. A study by Malaysian researchers suggests that the antioxidants present in it improve the metabolism of the liver. As the liver is essential for digestion and metabolism and stores body nutrients, a damaged or fatty liver can lead to slow metabolism and lead to weight gain. So use parsley to boost your liver.
12. Mustard seeds
Mustard seeds are a sharp-tasting spice with metabolism-boosting properties. The researchers from NCSU found out that homobrassinolide (a type of plant compound found in mustard) can stimulate muscle cells, increasing lean muscle mass.
Another study finds that mustard has melatonin and stimulates beige fat (group of fat cells that burn calories) and helps in regulating weight control.
Ginseng is a plant tuber with several tonic and medicinal properties. A study reveals that it can be used for treating diabetes as well as regulating cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Ginseng boosts metabolism and keeps energy levels high all over the day. By drinking ginseng tea, you can fight the major causes of weight gain.

Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift engaged in an unexpected back-and-forth on Twitter today after Swift took issue with Minaj's Tweets about being snubbed from the MTV Video Music Awards "Video of the Year" category. Minaj got a nod in the "Best Female Video" and "Best Hip-Hop Video" categories for "Anaconda" but rightfully felt left out of that coveted "Video of the Year" grouping. For reference, nominees in the biggest category of the night include Taylor Swift herself, Beyonce, Ed Sheeran, and Mark Ronson.
Minaj criticized MTV for the decision on Twitter earlier today, raising the possibility that her status as a Black female artist consistently relegates her to so-called urban categories like "Best Hip-Hop Video." "If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year," she wrote. Swift took obvious offense, taking the Tweet as a personal slight, writing, "I've done nothing but love & support you. It's unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot."
Minaj fired right back, letting Taylor know the Tweets weren't directed at her at all. "Huh?" Minaj Tweeted. "U must not be reading my tweets. Didn't say a word about u. I love u just as much. But u should speak on this." She added soon after, "@taylorswift13 I'm still confused as to why u just tweeted me when I made it abundantly clear…"
Taylor seemed to back down in her own response inviting Minaj to share her win if "Bad Blood" takes home the award.
Still, the Nicki vs. Taylor episode obviously spilled out onto Twitter and Solange showed some support by retweeting one of Minaj's main Tweets.
Kim Kardashian also seemed to join in (maybe accidentally) by Tweeting out one of her recent Vogue photos with an attached, "Imma let you finish but..." apparently alluding to Kanye West's infamous acceptance speech crash in 2009. Kim quickly deleted the Tweet and went on to claim that the reference was accidentally poor timing.

The winter issue of American Educator explores the history of counterproductive zero-tolerance school discipline policies and highlights more positive approaches to ensure that schools are safe and comfortable places to teach and to learn.
In the state of Iowa the excessive use of suspensions since 2009 has come under much scrutiny. In the last school year, school officials in Iowa suspended students 56,032 times. Though this figure is a reduction from higher numbers in recent times, education advocates see signs of a broken-system.
An overwhelming majority of suspensions were classified as either being caused by disruptive behavior or attendance; 4% of suspensions were the result of ‘fighting without injury’ “By spending time away from the classroom, students are missing out on education and they’re falling behind,” said Nazgol Ghandnoosh, a research analyst for the Sentencing Project, a civil rights advocacy group based in Washington, D.C.
An Investigation by the New York Attorney General’s office found that over a five year period Albany School District suspended one in eight students each school year, disproportionately affecting minority and disabled students. Attorney General Eric Schneiderman came to an agreement with the Albany School District to ensure that school discipline policies are not discriminatory in nature and practice. A. G. Schneiderman took specific aim at the school-to-prison-pipeline which has obstructed vulnerable children from receiving services they need help to succeed.
The conference trains adults who serve youth to create safe, healthy, caring, and intellectually empowering educational environments that foster the well-being of all children and adolescents. In these presentations, participants learn about current research-based educational programs and strategies, which empower young people to overcome at-risk conditions that may threaten their safety, health, emotional needs, or academic achievement.

The dastaar is the Sikh Crown gifted by the gurus to Singh and Kaurs. Each day when we tie the dastaar, we make-a-promise to the Gurus to follow the path of hard work, equality, truth, and seva. We honour the dastaar by taking a lot of care and love for the fabric. However, washing the dastaar with detergents and hard/treated water impacts the lifespan of both the colour and the fabric. Furthermore, the sweat that accumulates within the dastaar during the day has salt and bacteria that act on the fabric.
Understanding these issues, Singh Styled has launched dastaare-e—shaan, non-toxic formula with antibacterial properties. It helps to eliminate bad odour and bacteria caused due to sweat while adding freshness and softness to the Turban fabric.
You can spray the liquid while doing the poni or on a tied turban to tackle a humid day. The key ingredients nourish the fibres-of-the-fabric, making the turban soft and long-lasting.

Rocco B. Commisso, the billionaire chairman of the cable provider Mediacom, is the new owner of Italian soccer club A.C.F. Fiorentina in a deal he described as the “quickest closing in soccer history.”
Commisso, who was born in southern Italy but moved to the United States when he was 12, said in an interview Thursday that the deal was completed within three weeks of his signing a letter of intent to acquire the Florence-based team, which only avoided relegation to the second division on the final day of the Serie A season.
“There’s going to be a tremendous amount of effort, work, passion and money all going to be put in to make sure we have a better season than we had last year,” Commisso said.
The 69-year-old Commisso, who is also the chairman of the New York Cosmos, a club with a deep pedigree in American soccer but one that is locked out of the top tier in the United States without a system of promotion and relegation in American soccer. (Commisso has feuded openly with, and has sued, U.S. Soccer as part of his disputes with the federation.)
As he did, though, he also had been on the hunt for a European soccer team for the past three years. He was left frustrated last year after failing in a takeover bid for A.C. Milan, a European soccer heavyweight that had fallen into a financial crisis. He also was offered opportunities to buy teams in England, France, Switzerland and Belgium, he said, before eventually settling on Fiorentina, whose owners had first offered the club to Commisso in 2016.
“But given the fact I was born in Italy, my love for Italian soccer and what soccer has done for me I wanted to eventually buy a quality team here in Italy and I’m very proud, happy and honored to buy Fiorentina, a club that’s got great traditions,” he said.
The team, known as the Viola, or the violets, for the color of their jerseys, had some success at the turn of the century, including an Italian Cup win in 2001, before losing its way under its former majority owner Diego Della Valle, who took control of the club 17 years ago after it fell into bankruptcy. Though Della Valle invested significant funds into the team, his popularity among supporters has waned in recent years. He wrote an open letter to fans in March, accusing the club’s supporters groups of creating an atmosphere that “destabilized the team and the club itself.” He called it an “absurd situation,” and one he “would no longer accept.”
“A new chapter begins for the Viola team that we hope will bring many successful seasons, especially for the respectable supporters and the city of Florence to which we will always remain emotionally attached,” Della Valle said in a joint statement with his brother Andrea.
Commisso declined to reveal how much he was paying; news media reports suggested a deal was struck at fee between $150 million and $200 million.
In buying Fiorentina, he joins a growing list of American owners in Italian soccer. Milan is now owned by the Elliott Management hedge fund, A.S. Roma is backed by the billionaire James Pallotta, and there are North American-linked ownership groups at Bologna, in Serie A, and Venezia, in Serie B. Commisso said he planned to speak with the other United States owners soon.
Italian soccer has struggled in recent years, falling behind top leagues in Spain, Germany and notably England, whose Premier League is now by far the most popular domestic competition in the world.
Like most Italian teams, Fiorentina’s Artemio Franchi stadium is owned by the city that the team calls home, and like many of the others it is dated and ill-equipped when compared to the modern arenas that are home to teams in Europe’s other top leagues and sports franchises in the United States.
Commisso said he did not want to make false promises to Fiorentina’s fans, but he pledged that a review of what could be done about the team’s stadium would be part of a comprehensive review of club operations.
“We are looking at everything,” he said. “I’m a man, for those that know me, who never overpromises, I want to start slowly, learn a lot about the team, and eventually to set them on a good path to succeed. How long it takes I don’t know.”

Some Jackson residents are seeing their ward number and where they vote in-person change. At their Tuesday, March 22 meeting, the Jackson City Council voted to approve a new ward and precinct map for the City’s six wards.
These borders are redrawn every 10 years to reflect population changes determined by the 2020 U.S. Census and to comply with new Jackson County Commission district lines. The City’s Election Commission reviewed this information and used it to draw two proposed maps. The maps were presented to the City Council for review at their March 8 meeting. Final approval was given to one of the maps at the March 22 meeting.
The map selected by the council changes boundaries for every ward but Ward 1. Depending on where residents live in the City of Jackson, where they vote in-person and what ward they reside in could change. The changes take effect starting with the Aug. 2 primary election. A closer look at the new ward and previous ward maps is available on this page and in the Election Division section of the City website.
The City Clerk will mail out new voter registration cards to impacted residents, informing them of their new ward and voting location. The new ward lines do not impact the elected terms of City Councilmembers, who will serve out the remainder of their terms in the ward they were elected to represent. The next City Council election is in 2023 for Wards 2, 4 and 6. This does not change how the Mayor is elected, because that office is voted on by the entire City.

Find a selection of books for kids from Bedford Falls Book Fair. Make a book fair wishlist before your next book fair!
Wes Henderson has the title of “Best Dressed” at his school. Defending that honor, hanging with his best friends, and playing video games are what he wants to be thinking about as sixth grade approaches, not the protests his community activist parents are always dragging him to. But when a powerful real estate developer begins making offers to purchase the homes in his neighborhood of Kensington Oaks, including the one Wes’s mother grew up in and that his grandfather saved for 10 years to purchase, Wes realizes that big changes may be happening. His friend Mya has already moved to a more upscale area and Kari, another friend, had to move away when the developer bought the apartment building where he lived. The grownups and the kids are all arguing about whether the purchase offers are an opportunity for residents to get the money to move to more upscale neighborhoods or the vehicle to destroy a thriving, close-knit community. When Wes decides he isn’t willing to give up the only home he’s ever known without a fight, he struggles to find a way that he can save Kensington Oaks. This probing look at the complex topic of gentrification and its ever-present reality in many low-income neighborhoods is a must-read for readers concerned about the changing social landscape in many communities. A powerful testament to the difference one kid can make when he commits to do so!

Carminati has embraced this technology for its Skyline Minimal Frames collection, giving birth to Nøforce. This system harnesses passive magnetic levitation to effortlessly move doors weighing up to 1000 kg.
Minimalist design and technological innovation united
The combination of technological innovation and minimalist design makes Nøforce an ideal choice for any environment. It adds a touch of magic and a sense of wonder to any space, transforming it into a modern, elegant, and cutting-edge setting.
The benefits of the Nøforce lift and slide by Carminati
Nøforce offers numerous advantages that set it apart from traditional window systems:
- Lightness and ease of operation: thanks to magnetic levitation, sashes weighing up to 1000 kg can be easily opened manually with minimal effort, making the window suitable for individuals with reduced mobility, children, and the elderly.
- New performance standards: the Skyline sliding system delivers exceptional performance in terms of water tightness and thermal insulation while minimizing visual impact.
- Frictionless operation and reduced wear: magnetic levitation eliminates the need for mechanical components, reducing friction and extending the window’s lifespan.
- Energy efficiency: Nøforce doesn’t require continuous electrical power or actuators for movement, contributing to the building’s energy efficiency.
- Quiet operation: the Nøforce lft and slide operates extremely quietly due to the absence of moving parts.
- Weather resistance: without exposed external components that could be damaged, Nøforce is an excellent choice for withstanding the elements.
- No magnetic field dispersion: the magnetic system is contained within the recessed guide and has no adverse effects on people’s health or interference with electronic devices.
With the Nøforce lift and slide, Carminati Serramenti has opened up new possibilities in the world of windows and doors, combining elegant aesthetics with the power of magnetic technology.

Throughout the months leading up to my wonderful solo trip across the Tibetan high plateau to Lhasa, my communications with Woeser were great. He answered whatever questions I had with advice, even in those areas that Road to Tibet was not responsible for. For first time travelers to this part of the world, and with so many travel restrictions in place, his honest counsel reassured me that I had an honest guide and adviser across the globe, and he helped me create an itinerary that matched exactly what I was looking for: history, monasteries and high altitude trekking. And when there was a glitch at the Beijing West Train Station that may have caused me to miss my only train west, he provided guidance over the phone...even though he was not my booking agent for that portion of the trip. That was impressive to me, in the midst of a noisy train station.
When he met me upon arrival in Lhasa, I immediately knew who he was because of his great smile and personal warmth. Everything was taken care of as I was driven to a local hotel in the wonderful Muslim Quarter. My sadness at hearing that he would not be my guide over the next five days was overtaken by my meeting Jimpa, a wonderful, energetic and peace-filled guide who was a kindred spirit in many ways.
Having spent almost a decade in a monastery, he gave me the kind of background on the history of Tibetan Buddhism, the lineage and importance of each of the Dalai Lamas, and the imagery, statues and religious landscape I was just immersed in. After our visit to the historic Ganden Monastery, we began the most physically challenging four day trek I've ever taken. Even though I trained prior to departure from Los Angeles (at sea level), there's no way to prepare your body for trekking up in the snow to the highest pass we crossed: Shogu La, at 17,220 feet. A mark of a guide that sees his duty to your comfort and not just as business, is that he was patient with me as I would stop to rest...even as these stops became more frequent the higher we climbed. But we reached the peak and I was full of emotional energy.
Throughout the rest of the trek, he, along with the cook (awesome) and Yak handler were great company even though language was a challenge that I never saw as one. Throughout the entire trek, I felt a kindred friendship that crossed borders and language. After our return to Lhasa, Woeser was there to greet us and truly wanted to know how I felt about the trip. Now you might say this was to be expected. But a key to his generosity and kindness was his concern after I left Lhasa, heading to Everest and Kathmandu, with a guide from another outfit that hardly knew any English or even one tenth of the facts I knew from my own reading. The fact I was paying alot more money for the single supplement made me even madder. And though there was nothing Woeser could do for me (naturally), his concern made me realize that I will turn to Road to Tibet as my first point of contact in arranging treks and tours in that region. I know this is a rather long recommendation, but I hope you get the sense that you should check out Road to Tibet and have the same kind of experience I did with them. Namaste.

Brooklyn has a new Guinness World Record holder—Alejandro “AJ” Fragoso who watch television for 94 hours straight.
Fragoso started his bid to become the world record holder with two other binge-watching professionals, according to Variety. However, only he had the perseverance to successfully watch all 94 hours, breaking the previous record set in March of this year by a group of Australians who watched 92 hours of television. Fragoso credited his “Mediterranean diet” and frequent stretching for his stamina in the TV marathon.
Fragoso watched a variety of shows over the course of his record-setting binge watch, including Game of Thrones, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Twilight Zone, Bob’s Burgers, Adventure Time, and, in a decision sure to entertain any Portlandia fans, Battlestar Galactica.
Fragoso’s attempt to set the world record was sponsored by CyberLink, in promotion for its PowerDVD 16 player. Because they couldn’t risk Fragoso injuring himself in his bid (don’t try this at home, kids!), according to Variety, they had a physician on-site to monitor the binge-watchers for any deleterious effects of prolonged TV watching and sleep deprivation. A judge for Guinness was also on hand to verify the record. The TV marathon started on Friday, April 8, passing the 94-hour mark on Tuesday just after 5 a.m.

Now that the Galaxy S21 FE and OnePlus 10 Pro have been revealed, all eyes are turning back to Samsung for the next big smartphone announcement. The Galaxy S22 lineup could be introduced in the next month or so, and we’ve been seeing quite a few leaks and renders regarding the Galaxy S22 Ultra, specifically.
The latest leak confirms pretty much what we already expected when it comes to the specs, however, it seems that Samsung might finally be pushing the envelope again in the battery department. For the last few years, Samsung has played it safe in terms of battery size and charging speed. But the Galaxy S22 Ultra could change all of that.
First Look at Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra / S22 Specs Sheet! 🔥 Introducing SuperClear Lens! 🔥 pic.twitter.com/nyEFGrPtAH
— Zaryab Khan (@xeetechcare) January 5, 2022
This latest leak comes from @xeetechcare and reveals the spec-sheet for what the Galaxy S22 Ultra will offer. Here’s a run-down:
- Display: 6.8-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X (3080 x 1440)
- Processor: Exynos 2200
- RAM: 8GB / 12GB
- Storage: 128GB / 256GB / 512GB
- Front Camera: 40MP, f/2.2
- Rear Cameras:
- Ultra Wide: 12MP f/2.2, Dual Pixel AF
- Wide: 108MP f/1.8, OIS, “Super Clear Lens”
- Tele: 10MP f/2.4, 3x, Dual Pixel AF, OIS
- Tele 2: 10MP f/4.9, 10x, Dual Pixel AF, OIS
- Battery: 5,000mAh
- Colors: Phantom Black, Phantom White, Green, Burgundy
There are two main takeaways from what appears to be a portion of an official slide from Samsung. The first of which is the 5,000mAh battery that Samsung could be including. We’ve seen Galaxy phones released with similarly-sized batteries recently, but the company’s flagship lineup has not seen one of this size in some time. Unfortunately, there’s no mention of what kind of charging speeds Samsung will offer. However, we are hoping and keeping our fingers crossed that it will be much faster than the current 25W “fast” charging speeds offered by Samsung flagships.
The other takeaway from this slide is the “Super Clear Glass” which will cover the middle camera. In the slide that is shared, you can see that it will use Gorilla Glass to cover the lens, which we assume will provide clearer images and will reduce any potential reflections or glare.
The rest of the spec sheet for the Galaxy S22 Ultra is pretty much what we expected to see already. The Exynos 2200 will handle the heavy-lifting in most of the regions that the phone is released in, and is built on the 4nm process. Those here in the States will see a version released using the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset.
Pretty much all that remains now is for Samsung to make the official announcement, and open the floodgates for pre-orders to begin.

Recharged tea party demands justice in IRS targeting scandal
Conservatives are fuming as more damning information surfaces regarding the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of tea party groups for excessive review of their tax-exempt status during the 2012 elections.
An apology Friday by the IRS conceding the “inappropriate” practice of singling out groups with keywords like “Tea Party,” “Patriot” and “9/12 Project” in their names to flag for heightened, typically burdensome, scrutiny is “not sufficient reparation for violating the constitutional rights of United States citizens,” said Jenny Beth Martin, national coordinator for the Tea Party Patriots. . .

Gingrich: IRS Targeting Scandal Raises Issues About Obamacare
The Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative groups raises serious questions about how it plans to handle the taxes and penalties associated with Obamacare, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says, and he thinks the president owes apologies for the agency’s conduct.
“[President Barack Obama] has a huge problem, because Obamacare relies very heavily on the IRS,” Gingrich said Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
“Why would you trust the bureaucracy with your health if you can’t trust the bureaucracy with your politics?” he added a moment later. . . . Read Complete Report
IRS SCANDAL GROWS DEEPER
A few conspiracy-minded observers have wondered if the Obama Administration dropped the IRS political-audit scandal to distract attention from the Benghazi scandal. It’s starting to look as if the reverse conspiracy theory would be more plausible, because the IRS thing is going nuclear. Four days in, and we still haven’t heard a single word from the President who bends our ears so relentlessly when he’s got an agenda to push, even as more high-profile commentators – most recently George Will, on ABC’s This Week – are reminding us that Nixon’s fall was partly due to just this sort of politicized abuse of Internal Revenue Service power.
We’ve learned that the target list for these political IRS audits was far broader than we initially thought. Fox News got its hands on a timeline prepared by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration that shows this scurrilous operation growing even faster than most government programs do: . . .

Heart Attacks and Drinking Warm Water
This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about heart attacks. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot green tea with their meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating.
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and may lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
Heart Attack Symptoms
You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.
You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive.
A cardiologist says if everyone who reads this message sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life. Read this & Send the link to a friend. It could save a life. So, please be a true friend and send this article to all your friends you care about.
Some people say that it is just an old myth to drink warm water to prevent heart attacks and I'd also like to point out that some declare this information as an urban myth and many other people agree that cold water is not related to cancer or heart attacks in any way. So, I have no idea if this is true and there is no research to support this theory however I still wanted to share this information about "heart attacks and drinking warm water" with all of you because its always better to be safe than to be sorry.
Heart Attack Information
A heart attack occurs when the blood flow to a part of the heart is suddenly and permanently cut off, causing permanent damage to the heart muscle. Chest pain is typically severe and does not go away with rest or medicine that is effective with angina. Symptoms may indicate your heart is in danger many months or years before a heart attack occurs. Persistent symptoms, such as shortness of breath, nausea, great fatigue, angina/chest pain, fainting spells and gas-like discomfort, are red flags.
- 1 in 3 adults, both men and women, has some form of cardiovascular disease.
- In 90% of adult victims of sudden cardiac death, two or more major coronary arteries are narrowed or blocked.
- Brain death and permanent death start to occur in just 4-6 minutes after someone experiences cardiac arrest.
- It is in the early or initial stage that the heart disease is almost certainly treatable.
- The heart and brain muscles are the ones which cannot be revived once dead.
- For a large number of patients, the first and only symptom of heart disease is a fatal heart attack. Thus diagnosis becomes extremely important for everyone and that too pre-emptive and non-invasive.
Note: Please do not post comments asking for the scientific research behind this information. I've clearly stated in the paragraph above that this is no scientific research found about drinking warm water to prevent heart attacks and it may be an urban myth. As I mentioned above I am not sure of the origin of the information but it does illicit some questions and cause for further research. Please do your research and draw your own conclusions. By the way, I have also learned from various sources that it may be best not to drink any fluid (water or otherwise) during or directly after a meal as it dilutes naturally occurring digestive enzymes.
This list is based on the content of the title and/or content of the article displayed above which makes them more relevant and more likely to be of interest to you.

Calls to cap house price rises are clear sign of housing bubble
RICS is shouting from the rooftops – are the authorities listening?
No more ‘Help to Buy’ we need ‘Help to Build’
Clear signs of housing bubble: The RICS has issued an unprecedented call for a cap on house price rises. This suggestion, from the industry most closely associated with the housing market, clearly indicates that house prices are in bubble territory. It has been clear for months that the mortgage market is taking off again with many more people chasing up property prices.
RICS is ‘shouting from the rooftops’ but Bank of England not listening: The Bank of England has promised it will not allow a house price bubble to develop – those words ring hollow when the bubble is already here and yet the Bank’s forward guidance insists interest rates must stay at emergency low levels. Mervyn King, in his 2012 Today Programme lecture, lamented the fact that the central bank had not done more to warn of the unsustainable nature of excessive borrowing. He said “With the benefit of hindsight, we should have shouted from the rooftops” about the dangers in the system. Now the RICS is shouting about the dangers of a housing bubble, but who is listening?
We have not learned lessons of the last crisis: Lord King stressed that the Bank of England needed to learn from the financial crisis and said “our role will be to take away the punchbowl just as the next party is getting going”. Well the party is clearly well underway but the Bank remains complacent and promises it will keep rates down even as Funding for Lending and Help to Buy are further increasing house prices.
Not sure a price rise cap will work: If the Bank is not willing to raise base rates, what else could be done? The idea of capping house price increases is not really practical, but there are other measures.
1. Abandon the second phase of Help to Buy. The 2014 plan to force taxpayers to underwrite high loan to value mortgages exposes taxpayers to the risk of substantial losses, whilst also further inflating the housing bubble. This scheme needs to be focussed on building new homes, not increasing demand for existing properties.
2. Encourage new construction – ‘Help to Build’. Special incentives for house-building would be a better use of taxpayers’ money than underwriting mortgages. This would increase supply and help reduce upward price pressures.
3. A curb on lending criteria. Currently, there is a resurgence of 95% loan-to-value mortgages, which are exposing borrowers to significant risks when the housing bubble bursts. Stricter criteria for responsible lending (such as 85% maximum LTV) would help to curb some of the excess.
Having just endured such a major crisis that resulted from over-exuberant lending and borrowing and rising property prices, we must not make the same mistakes again.
What do you think? Who’s right on the housing market, the Bank of England or the Chartered Surveyors and Estate Agents?
