Contributing writer for Wake Up World
As a Chinese medicine physician for decades, and in my years as a writer for Wake Up World, I have never produced an article about a supplement — until now. This is how highly I regard glutathione.
Glutathione is our body’s number one antioxidant. Antioxidants help to fight off viruses and infection and immobilize toxins, thus reducing our body’s stress load. Glutathione is present in all our cells, and produced abundantly in the liver. It boosts the immune system, is an anti-aging agent, counteracts all manner of toxins, and improves overall functioning both physical and mental.
I especially recommend considering glutathione supplementation if you get sick often, if you are detoxing, if your immune system is weak, if you’re under a lot of stress, if your diet is poor, if you are taking chemotherapy, or if you have low glutathione levels. Please check with your doctor to see if it’s safe for you, especially if you are taking medication.
Many chronic diseases are associated with glutathione deficiency; the most common being AIDS (HIV), Alzheimer’s disease, Arthritis, Asthma, Autism, Cancer, Chronic infection, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Diabetes, Hepatitis, Kidney Problems, and Parkinson’s disease.
Dr. Mark Hyman. M.D., reminds us that our body’s glutathione production has not kept pace with the onslaught of tens of thousands of industrial chemicals we’ve introduced to the environment, chemicals that find their way into our bodies and wreak havoc. Dr. Hyman says that many of us lack the necessary genes needed to produce the enzyme that recycles glutathione (there is a test for this). So, some are genetically ill-equipped from the get-go, as well as deficient, due to our evolutionary low-level glutathione production relative to our modern toxic environmental load.
Not only are we behind the times genetically (or, better, in industrial overshoot), but with increased age, our bodies produce less glutathione. Endogenous (i.e., produced inside our bodies) glutathione production also drops due to negative stress, illness, and trauma. So, supplementation during such times can be very helpful.
I came across glutathione a couple years ago, when several recommendations for this supplement converged on me simultaneously. The most enticing was a story from a friend about her naturopath who tried the supplement in hopes of lessening his chemical sensitivities — it worked.
I’ve been sensitive to a plethora of man-made chemicals and fragrances for some time; my glands at my neck swell and I can get dizzy and nauseous from spending too much time in Home Depot, and Walmart I try to avoid altogether (for many reasons).
Two days after first taking glutathione and its co-factors I noticed several changes: 1) I was more tolerant to cold weather 2) my skin became smoother and felt better 3) I needed less sleep and 4) I had more energy. Longer-term changes have included getting sick less frequently, less gland swelling, and feeling better overall.
I did plenty of research, however, before taking the stuff. I know from experience that a multi-pronged approach is usually best when tackling any health issue, so I decided to boost my glutathione levels in several ways. Here’s how I did it:
1) Whey powder:
The best food to maximize glutathione levels, whey contains an abundant amount of cysteine, the scarcest of the three amino acids that comprise glutathione. Note, whey is an animal product, so it’s not suitable for vegans. You want to get minimally processed, non-denatured, biologically-active whey, and organic if possible. Amazon has several brands. Dr. Mercola recommends the following:
- The whey comes from grass-fed cows that are not treated with pesticides or hormones.
- Cold processed, since heat destroys whey’s fragile molecular structure.
- Whey protein concentrate, not protein isolates.
- Sweetened naturally, not artificially, and low in carbohydrates.
- Highly digestible — look for medium chain fatty acids (MCTs), not long chain fatty acids.
2) NAC (N-acetyl cysteine):
This is a form of cysteine that the body can utilize to make glutathione. Cysteine is the “rate-limiting” amino acid in the production of glutathione, meaning that it is not abundantly found in foods.
NAC has an affinity for the lungs and breaks up mucous (“mucolytic”), so it’s also helpful for sinus congestion, phlegm, allergies, and lung infection with phlegm/mucous discharge. Dr. Mercola recommends not taking it if you have mercury amalgam fillings, because NAC could interfere with mercury detoxification.
In one patient of mine, NAC dried out her sinuses some and made her asthma slightly worse. Others with asthma, however, have benefitted from taking NAC. So if you have asthma, proceed with caution, as NAC seems best when excess phlegm/mucous is present. Again, do your own research and check with your doctor if you are concerned about NAC supplementation.
3) Glutathione supplement:
I have taken L-glutathione (reduced glutathione), S-acetyl glutathione, and liposomal glutathione. I swish the L-glutathione powder (not the others, which are swallowed) in my mouth with water because it is reportedly better absorbed through the mucosal membranes of the mouth.
The other two forms of glutathione (S-acetyl and liposomal) are innovative new ways to deliver glutathione to cells because the reduced form is not as readily absorbed intact through the digestive system (thus the swishing in the mouth of L-glutathione).
Note, many articles on glutathione state that glutathione is not well absorbed by oral ingestion. While this is true for swallowing of L-glutathione, these authors (including Dr. Hyman) seem not to know about the mucosal absorption factor of L-glutathione, nor the availability of the liposomal and S-acetyl versions. While L-glutathione is less expensive than s-acetyl and liposomal glutathione, for optimal absorption I swish it around in my mouth with water, which many people don’t want to do.
So, in sum, twice a day, on an empty-ish stomach, I take a couple spoonfuls of whey powder (I love the taste and just spoon it right into my mouth and let it dissolve, but most people take it with water) along with 1,000 mg of NAC and about 500 mg of L-glutathione. I also take S-acetyl glutathione when I don’t have time for the oral swishing ritual of L-glutathione.
Glutathione also has synergistic activity with vitamin C, E, and CoQ10 (all antioxidants). Glutathione is recycled by Vitamins C and E and both these vitamins, along with CoQ10, are in turn regenerated by glutathione, causing them to remain active for longer in our bodies. To boot, CoQ10 apparently helps glutathione production. Sometimes, therefore, I also take these supplements with the whey, NAC, and glutathione.
Other ways to increase glutathione level include:
1) Exercise: exercise boosts glutathione levels
2) Consuming sulfur-rich foods: The main ones are garlic, onions and the cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, kale, collard greens, cabbage, cauliflower, and watercress, for example)
3) Supplementing with milk thistle, alpha lipoic acid, selenium, vitamins C, E, and vitamins B6 and B12.
Since glutathione is made in our bodies, there is not a great risk, if any, with taking it. WebMD indicates they have no known interactions for glutathione, but do recommend that pregnant and nursing women not take glutathione, as a precaution. See more here. For the record, nobody to whom I have recommended glutathione has had adverse reactions.
Recently I noticed that Dr. Mercola says taking glutathione long-term can make us dependent on it, and as a result, endogenous production of it decreases. I have not been able to verify this assertion, and to my knowledge, it has not been mentioned by Dr. Hyman.
I could go on and on about glutathione, but others already have. So, I won’t, save to say that I think everyone on the planet should consider glutathione supplementation, as long as it’s not contraindicated for you. For all the potential benefit, my experience is that it’s worth a try. You might not notice results right away, as I did, so give it some weeks to a month.
As with all supplements, first try a small amount to make sure you have no adverse reactions. I hope you find this supplement as helpful as I and many others have.

Altman’s Needlearts on Love Lane is more than an art supply store, it is a place to come together. (Credit: Cyndi Zaweski)
On Monday mornings, passionate crafters gather at Altman’s Needlearts on Love Lane. Their ages range from nine to 80-something with skill sets just as varied. They come together to create crafts of all kinds — knitting, crocheting, needlework — nothing is off the table, aside from any talk of politics or religion, which is strictly prohibited. (more…)

The days maybe colder and nights longer, but the North Fork is hardly sleepy. Yes, December is a month packed with holiday cheer — and plenty of festive events we rounded up in this recent post — but there are a number of other non-holiday related ways to fill your calendar and celebrate the start of winter on the North Fork and Shelter Island.

There is no denying the North Fork’s rising reputation as a serious regional producer of all things farm-to-table. From chefs that conjure creative dishes sourced from nearby farms practicing innovative sustainable growing practices to the bevy of 90-point wines that are defining Long Island as a heavy hitter in the viticulture industry.
Yes, there is no doubt that North Fork producers of all kinds take their crafts seriously, but not themselves. The North Fork is after all the un-Hamptons — more laid-back with air of accessibility our neighbors to the South Fork lack. (more…)
September welcomes the unofficial end of summer. Tumbleweed Tuesday may be on the horizon — but there is no sign of slowing down on the North Fork. Fall is harvest season. It’s a time for apple and pumpkin picking and leisurely hikes as we anticipate the changing of the leaves from crisp green to golden hues.
Here are 10 ways to celebrate the end of summer and the start of fall on the North Fork and Shelter Island. (more…)


In the past, this powerful machine of death was mounted to an APC or gunship. Now it is in the hands of a lone survivor, and despite its weight and innate low accuracy, it is an incredibly potent weapon.
The Minigun is considered an Automatic Weapon. It requires the Rare Firearm Skill to use.
This is an exceptionally unwieldy weapon - as such, it reduces a survivor's Walk Speed and Evasion by 20%.
In Judgment, they are a rare Tier V Weapon that Survivors can find and use in combat.
- While it can not be crafted and they are not easily found out in the wild, the Minigun out-performs many ranged weapons. Hold on to it!
- The Minigun has the fastest attack rate and highest DPS in the game. However, it's relatively low accuracy and range does limit it.
- Damage and speed bonuses on minigun users are usually overkill, as no demon can tank its fire for longer than a moment. Range bonuses (Scout class can get +2), on the other hand, compensate for all the shortcomings of the weapon.

Most of a commercial building that was once home to The Oak Ridger newspaper and other businesses on Tyler and East Tyrone roads could be demolished later this year, an engineer and surveyor told a city board on Thursday.
The western part of the building near the Magic Wok restaurant would remain, and so would the diner itself.
Roughly 26,000 square feet of the building, which has housed a wide variety of businesses since the 1940s, would be demolished down to the slab. The demolition of the property, which is also known as the Wender Building after a former owner, would include the space occupied for decades by Classic Cleaners.
Noel M. Peterson, owner of Coal Creek Surveying and Engineering of Lake City, briefly outlined the plans of the owners—Jia-Chao and Ming-Wha Wang—during a Thursday meeting of the Oak Ridge Board of Building and Housing Code Appeals.
Many of the details still have to be worked out with the Oak Ridge municipal staff, and the board gave the owners another 30 days. But it’s considered a last-chance extension.
Board members expect more details at their next meeting in June, including dates and schedules—“something a little bit more solid,” board member Philip Nipper said.
Parts of the property have been declared unfit and ordered vacated because of code violations. In February, the Board of Building and Housing Code Appeals tabled a demolition or repair order for 60 days to give the owners time to sell the damaged property or develop a repair or demolition plan. That 60-day postponement expired April 27.
The two cases against the owners concern the commercial building at 123 and 135 E. Tyrone Road, just north of Oak Ridge Turnpike near Jackson Square. They exclude the manufactured structure that houses the Magic Wok, but they do include the areas in the small shopping center that have recently housed a dry cleaner, thrift store, wig shop, Mexican grocery, and the Magic Wok’s food preparation and overflow dining areas.
The staff said the estimated cost of repairs exceeds 50 percent of the building’s value.
In February, Classic Cleaners was given 10 days to vacate, but it’s not clear if the business has moved out yet. On Friday, the New 2 U Resale Thrift Store had a sign posted on its store saying it is moving to Grove Center.
Matt Widner, Oak Ridge Community Development housing specialist, said it was too early to recommend demolition until the municipal staff had seen the plan presented Thursday. The code violations at the building have probably become worse because of time, Widner said.
“The building has not been changed other than to let people vacate the premises,” said Denny Boss, Oak Ridge code enforcement supervisor.
Peterson said the building is strong, and it has a lot of good materials. The only structural hazards are due to roof deterioration, and the owners need to remove the bad part of the building, he said.
Plans call for getting rid of junk and debris and then asbestos before proceeding to demolition, Peterson said. The property could be subdivided later.
The owners could “get to demolition” in six months, Peterson said. They could keep the remaining 6,800 square feet of the building and sell the other part.
See a conceptual plan of the area to be demolished here: Wender Building Demolition. The area that would remain in the top right is where the Tienda Nony grocery was as well as the part of the building near the Magic Wok. The area at the top left is where Classic Cleaners is now.

Five Worst and Best Games of 2010
2010 was such a great year in gaming, with great titles being announced. Some were fresh and innovative while some were sequels. 2010 was the year where it was not just about the games, considering that Microsoft and Sony unveiled two major products and joined the motion gaming segment. Microsoft launched the controller free Kinect, while Sony unveiled the Move. But like every other year, there were disappointing titles and there were some titles which will be remembered in history. This is our list of the five worst and best games from 2010.
The Poor Five
These are titles which went terribly wrong, I had lot of expectations from a couple of them, but it just led to disappointment. Some of you may have enjoyed these titles, but I sure had a very bad experience.
Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days
I am one of those few guys who enjoyed Kane and Lynch, it was an entertaining title and I had real fun with it. So, for obvious reasons I played Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days and boy I was so annoyed. The game does have an original idea which is great, I don’t even blame the story but the reason why you would hate this game and just quit it after sometime is the monotonous gunfights, where nothing exciting ever happens. This hampers the gameplay, takes the fun out of the story and makes it ever more boring. It also has a co-op mode but with so many other great games to play who will ever want to play this game with their friends?
Final Fantasy XIII
With every new Final Fantasy game the franchise just keeps getting lame, it seems like Square Enix has completely lost direction and they just cannot innovate anymore. Final Fantasy XIII has a very lousy plot and even lousy characters. The setup and the new battle system is quite interesting but the new direction makes it very boring and you feel this is one game you rather not play. Also, I am quite tired of the Final Fantasy franchise so please Enix just stop new ones, I believe they are just destroying the franchise. Still if you are open for any suggestion you can remake the old ones and I am pretty sure it will milk you more money than this one.
I was suggested this game by a friend who mentioned it as a sci-fi first person shooter, this forced me to get this game and after playing it for some time I realized its just a modified Bioshock game. It is decent, the weapons impressed me but the number of flaws and the similar environment completely annoyed me. Also, the story is very obvious and predictable and if you are someone who craves graphics then they are not up to date with this game and you are in for some major disappointment. I did not play the multiplayer so I can’t comment on it but I feel very confident that it is as uninteresting as the campaign mode. The game would have been more entertaining with better graphics and a story which is original and makes a little sense. Wait! I forgot to tell you one cool thing about the game, you can age people to death.
This is another disappointing game from 2010, if it ever makes it in history then it would be for the video game with the most terrible story. Though there is some innovation in the game the very poor plot, renders it pointless. The hover controls and the new mechanism are indeed interesting but they require more work. I was really dissatisfied with the combat, it is very uninteresting and long, plus repeating enemies completely destroy the fun aspect in combat. In this game, the lack of proper development has destroyed a great concept which has a huge potential.
God of War III
God of War III is just another sequel which does not live up to the success of its predecessors. It has great graphics and it survived because the first two God of War games did a good job, but this one got a bit out of hand and never got the right coverage it required. As the gameplay was basically an improvement over its prequels it did not make much sense as the competitors had better offerings, hence destroying every hope of its success. Though it has a new story, new enemies and new weapons, the game is not at all unique it feels exactly the same as playing any other God of War game and even the story is very predictable. It feels like they just wanted to keep the franchise running and never thought of being innovative around it.
The Grand Five
So, you went through the worst games of 2010, here are the ones which rocked my world last year and are still doing a good job at it.
I am a big fan of Halo, and the day I heard that Halo: Reach is all about the legendary Team Noble, I made my mind to get what is supposed to be the last game in the Halo franchise, or at least the last one developed by Bungie. It did great on the charts and had a great storyline, interesting co-op gameplay and an impressive multiplayer eco-system. It could have been better if a few things were different which would have made it a historic end for a historic franchise.
This is the best cover shooter I have ever played, it is full of action, always keeps you on the edge and has a very interesting storyline. Vanquish is the game is the evolution of cover shooters and it makes other cover shooters look outdated, thanks to its fast gameplay and a really entertaining combat experience. It is surely a product of skillfull development and immense effort from the entire team. It is developed by Platinum, a Japanese company which has literally changed the meaning of cover shooters.
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty
It made its way to the streets after 12 long years, it is the sequel of one of a famous real time strategy game, it is StarCraft II. Blizzard has done it again, I enjoyed the single player campaign and they never got annoying. The story is very interesting as in every Blizzard game an so it seems with StarCraft II, it follows the events where StarCraft ends. It runs smoothly and is extremely scalable making it a good choice even for those with a decent PC. The real fun is the multiplayer mode, where you compete with other players using Blizzard’s Battle.net. Multiplayer is challenging and keeps getting exciting as you climb up the ladder. This is one game every gamer should try as it is a great example of what a sequel should be.
Fallout: New Vegas
Set in the post-apocalytic Las Vegas, Fallout: New Vegas uses the same engine as Fallout 3 and is not much of an improvement in terms of graphics. However, it is a very brilliant game which engages gamers in quality gaming experience using its deep gameplay and an interesting plot. It maintains its sense of humor, features amazing characters and even the soundtracks included in the game create a great environment for the gamer. It is needless to say that the game is based in a huge world and comes with a number of quests, each one helping you to build your character. Customizing your character is vast and has a huge impact on the overall gameplay, which is exactly what you expect from an action RPG. The game does have a few bugs, but it so much fun you won’t care about them.
Game Dev Story
This is my best game of 2010, the day I downloaded the game on my Android phone, I just could not stop playing it and this has not happened to me in ages. It is not surprising how a simple and fresh idea can be developed to deliver such a great gaming experience. The game is all about developing games by using the people at your disposal, while you also have to think of some great combinations which will help your company achieve great sales records. It really makes you feel you own a game development studio and this is indeed our best game of 2010.
Please let us know what you think about the games we have selected as the worst and best five games from 2010.

Vagal Stimulation Improves Cytokine Production and Rheumatoid Disease Activity Save
PNAS has published a study wherein an inducible “inflammatory reflex” delivered by vagus nerve stimulation was shown to inhibit the production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), an inflammatory molecule that is a major therapeutic target in an animal model of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
The positive mechanistic results reported here extend the preclinical data to the clinic and reveal that vagus nerve stimulation inhibits TNF and attenuates disease severity in RA patients.
Researchers at the Long Island Feinstein Institute for Medical Research have shown that the “inflammatory reflex is dependent upon vagus nerve signals to inhibit cytokine production and has been shown in animal models to attenuate experimental arthritis severity.
Led by Dr. Paul Peter Tak, researchers demonstarted inhibition of peripheral blood production of TNF, IL-1β, and IL-6. In their small clinical trial of 17 RA patients, they implanted a device about the size of a cardiac pacemaker to stimulate the vagal nerve. Vagal nerve stimulation (up to four times daily) in RA patients significantly inhibited TNF production for nearly 3 mos and yielded significant improvement in indices of clinical activity.
These experiments establish that vagus nerve stimulation targeting the inflammatory reflex modulates TNF production and reduces inflammation in humans. These findings suggest that it is possible to use mechanism-based neuromodulating devices in the experimental therapy of RA and possibly other autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases.

Pizza. Ahh, beautiful pizza. With a thin, bubbly crust which is slightly charred, and topped with a perfect balance of sauce, toppings and cheese. It is something worth obsessing over, and boy do we obsess over pizza.
Pizza is often our source of exploration when we set out to explore a town. Just about anywhere we travel, we’ll attempt to hunt down the area’s best offerings in pizza with the wood-fired tokens of devotion that often satisfy our personal cravings the most. We have been lucky enough to experience extraordinary pizza all over the country and of course in pizza’s homeland of Italy.
Great pizza for us isn’t something just for travel, either. In an even greater stroke of luck, in southern California, we have some of the best pizza in the country, headlined by Nancy Silverton’s Mozza. So with such extraordinary inspiration between our travels and local offerings, the bar for great pizza just keeps getting raised higher and higher.
Speaking of bar, if you are ever at the LA or OC Mozza locations, make sure try and grab a seat at the pizza bar where you get to watch the masters delicately craft exceptional pizzas. You might even pick up a technique or two to take back home into your own kitchen. We sure have.
We’ve learned things like treating the dough gently and with finesse. It isn’t mashed, pressed, and forced into shape. The dough is billowy soft before even beginning to stretch, and then great care is taken not to ruin that state.
We’ve learned to create indentions with the fingertips to seal off the outer crust, which is then rarely touched again except by the soft brushing of olive oil. The center is gently pressed with the fingers to widen out, then the dough is rested over the backside of the hands to rotate and allow gravity and the dough’s own weight stretch the dough into shape. The process is quick but done with finesse.
These are some of the techniques that we’ve put into our pizza dough as we fine-tuned it for our cookbook, Bountiful. Take that dough and add whatever topping craving you desire. Lately with autumn filling our lives, a Brussels spouts and bacon pizza seemed just about perfect.
We cooked up the bacon until lightly browned (remembering that it was going to get cooked a bit more when the pizza baked), thinly sliced the Brussels sprouts, then sautéed everything all together. Add a little Worcestershire sauce for a bit of punch and layer between sauce and cheese.
It came out great even with the ovens not firing quite as hot as normal and only getting up to 475 degrees. The crust wasn’t quite as bubbly or charred as usual, but we aren’t complaining. Everything was quite delicious.
Brussels Sprouts and Bacon Pizza
Yield: Makes 2 -10" Pizza
Total Time: 4 hours
The pizza dough is from our cookbook, Bountiful. The dough and topping can easily be made the day before and then assembled and baked as needed. The crust comes out best if baked on a pizza stone in the oven which has been preheated for at least 20 minutes, however you can always bake the pizzas on a baking sheetpan in the oven if you don't have a stone. Just sprinkle a bit of cornmeal on the sheetpan before laying down the stretched out pizza dough.
Here's a bit of the headnote from the book talking about handling the dough, "We’ve learned a lot from listening to great bakers and watching them bake their doughs. One thing they all seem to have in common is that they don’t overhandle the dough. The more you work it, the tougher it gets. With most of the great pizzas we’ve had, the bakers are not kneading their dough, but just mixing it and letting the yeast go to work. And when they handle their dough to make pizzas, it isn’t with a heavy, forceful hand, but rather by gently letting gravity stretch and form the dough. It is graceful and gentle. The amount of flour in the recipe should yield a dough that will be easy to handle with just a touch of extra flour for dusting when you are stretching it. If you are comfortable with handling the dough, experiment with putting a bit less flour in it. This will make for a lighter crust, but because the dough is wetter, it will be a bit more challenging to work with."
If your oven doesn't go as high as 550°F, the pizzas will still come out great, it just may take a little more time and the crust might not get the char that we personally love so much. You can also use a liberal dusting of flour instead of the cornmeal to keep the dough from sticking to the pizza peel.
- 1 1/4 cups (300ml) warm water
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher or sea salt
- 3 1/3 cups (415g) flour
- 4-5 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
- 1 pound (455g) Brussels sprouts, sliced thin
- 1 cup tomato sauce, or amount to preference
- 1 cup grated Parmigiana Reggiano Cheese (or other preferred cheese)
- kosher or sea salt, to taste
- fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
- cornmeal for dusting peel
- extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing the crust
- Make ahead (Dough):In a large bowl or resealable container, stir together the water, yeast, honey, and salt. Stir in the flour until no streaks of dry flour remains.
- Cover the dough and set aside in a warm area to proof for 1 to 2 hours, or until doubled in volume. Set aside in the refrigerator until chilled, or for up to 1 week
(see Note 1).
- When you are ready to make pizzas, preheat the oven to 550°F, with a baking stone on the middle rack for at least 30 minutes. Have cornmeal and a pizza peel handy nearby for when you stretch the dough.
- Divide the dough in half and place the dough balls on a well-floured surface. Allow the dough to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. The dough should feel soft and pillowy.
- While the dough comes up to room temperature, make the brussels sprouts-bacon filling. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon pieces until lightly browned. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic and brussels sprouts. Cook for about 1 minute or until brussels sprouts soften. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside to cool while you finish the dough.
- Liberally sprinkle corn meal on the pizza peel. Set nearby while you stretch the dough. When the dough is soft and pillowy, with floured hands, lightly flour the first dough ball. Using your fingertips, make indentations to form the outer crust rim (see photo in post). Using your hands, rotate and gently press out the dough, working from the center outward to stretch it, leaving the outer rim as untouched as possible. Press out to a circle 6 - 8 inches in diameter.
- Resting the dough on the tops of your hands, continue to rotate and circle the dough over your hands, gently stretching the dough to about 10 inches (25 cm) in diameter. Make sure to keep the rim thicker than the center. (If the dough starts to toughen and spring back too much while you work on it, allow it to rest for a few minutes so it will relax and soften.) Lightly re-flour your hands, the work surface, and the dough as needed to keep the dough from sticking.
- Lay the stretched out dough on the prepared pizza peel. Give it a little shake to make sure the dough isn't sticking to the peel. Gently brush oil on the outer crust. Shake the peel again to make sure nothing is sticking.
- Gently ladle and spread 1/2 of the sauce on the dough. Spread 1/2 of the brussel sprouts/bacon mixture on the pizza, spread 1/2 of the cheese, and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and slightly charred. While the first pizza is baking, repeat the stretching and topping instructions with the second pizza.
- Allow each pizza to cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve.
Over time in the fridge, the dough will gradually begin to change in texture after it bakes, and will also develop a sourdough flavor. We prefer the texture and flavor of the dough after 24 to 36 hours of refrigeration, but it is still quite good when chilled up to 1 week.

Motorola is treading on internet these days with lot of unexpected leaks. Recently an Verizon engineer who tests the new smartphones and updates before it hit the public leaked interesting things about the next generation Moto X, called Motorola Moto X3 or Moto X 2015. Literally Moto X is one the leading and flagship device in 2014. Price is not in the range of budget minded people but still millions of pieces are solid in eCommerce giant Flipkart. People who can’t offered Moto X3 can choose Moto E3 which is also a best smartphone for that price. These are the interesting things we found in the recent leaks of Moto X3.
Some sources on internet reveled some considerable things about the next generation Moto X ie Moto X (3rd Generation). Moto X2 steals the heart of many high end mobile users with it’s awesome display, features and stunning back panel. Coming to features, Moto X2 has brilliant build quality and high quality camera. It is a big competition to Google Nexus 5 but Moto X2 fails to beat Nexus 5 in design factor. However it is worth buying. Motorola is coming with more improved version during end of this year, Moto X3 will have even better features with awesome build and technology. Keep reading to know more details about Motorola Moto X (3rd Generation).
Moto X3 Features
Let us see more in detail about Moto X3 and how it is build inside. Hope Motorola still maintain the same quality in the Moto X 2015.
Who don’t like big screens? But Moto X3 still have same screen size of 5.2 Inches as in Moto X2. I hope they come with at the least 5.5 inch display. Already Moto G2 is released with awesome huge 5.5 inch screen.
Moto X3 supports 4G LTE along with 3G and 2G but with improved versions. Lot of improvements are made in Moto X3 for EDGE and GPS to make them work and respond better than ever. It is a single SIM variant which allows only nano SIM
Big change in Moto X chipset, Moto X3 is built inside with hexa-core Snapdragon 808 chipset for lightning fast performance. Don’t worry, measures are already taken to minimize the heating issues.
May be Moto X3 is paired with Adreno 400 GPU as there is an improvement in CPU. There are no leaks on GPU till date.
Android Lollipop 5.1.1 is pre-installed and they promised to release further updates if any. Android lollipop is already stable in 5.0.2 and no doubt 5.1.1 will have many improvements. Moto X3 is ready to taste the Android M too.
Internal Storage and RAM
Moto X3 comes with two variants, one with 32 GB internal space and other with 64 GB. Coming to RAM, Moto X3 is packed with 4 GB of RAM. No more lagging problems this time. More improvements in performance can be noticed with the 2x RAM.
As people started loving capturing images with smartphone’s, Moto X 2015 or Moto X (3rd Generation) have brilliant 16 MP crystal clear back camera and 5 MP front facing camera will take care about selfies and video calling.
Moto X3 Features list
- Threaded SMS
- Geo tagging
- Face detection
- Photo editor/viewer and Video viewer

If you are preparing for a journey on the open sea, it is essential to install marine electronics for navigation purposes in order to ensure safety and excellent marine navigation. Not possessing the proper equipment could certainly turn an enjoyable and peaceful time into a disaster which is why preparation is key. The emphasis should be always given on your safety and that of your guests when you are on the water, which specifically depicts the fact that you should be equipped with a diverse range of handy and useful marine accessories that are designed to assist you with navigation. Technology like dynamic positioning equipment is also beneficial for larger boats.
Marine electronics are devices that are designed exclusively for use in marine environments. These electronics are comprehensively used on yachts and ships. One of the gadgets is that is essential to have on any boat, whether a sailboat or mega luxury yacht, is GPS. It is an acronym for the words, global positioning system. This is a navigational system that is guided by satellites. To ensure safety on the water, a GPS system is one of the most crucial things to have. Thanks to developments in yachting technology, this adaptable device will assist the boat crew in navigation.
Marine RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging) is the device that is solely used for the purpose of detecting objects and their position comparative to your location. It works by sending out a radio signal. When the signal hits an object, it is reflected back to the radar unit that can then estimate the bearing of the object. A marine radar device is an indispensable navigation aid for boaters.

IF you are a lover of garlic – and let’s face it, who isn’t these days? – it’s time to think about planting your own in autumn. Buy bulbs specially cultivated for planting and plant cloves individually in module trays with large cells, keeping them in a cold frame for the winter or at the base of a sheltered wall. The plants can then be planted in the ground in spring.
Alternatively, plant in a sunny site in well drained soil, breaking each bulb into individual cloves and spacing them 8-10cm (3-4in) apart, with 30cm (24in) between rows. Plant so the tips are just below soil level.
Weed regularly and give it an occasional thorough watering during dry spells to boost the yield, but don’t water the bulbs once they are large and well formed or they might rot.
Good varieties include “Purple Wight”, a purple-streaked type which can be harvested from the end of June, and “Solent White”, which produces late-maturing bulbs and stores well.

Projects and Research:
Bacteria play generally a highly significant role for the health or impairment of the organisms they are associated with. Although the occurrence of bacterial epibionts as part of the microbiome of C. pagurus has been documented, the relevance of these epibiont-host relationships and the ecological context are not well understood.
This project aims to isolate and characterize bacterial strains from the shell of the edible crab C. pagurus (Crustacean) to reveal the function of the bacteria for their host and vice versa. C. pagurus is largely distributed in the North Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, has an important ecological function as predator in its habitat, and is subject of the largest crab fishery in Western Europe. Furthermore, C. pagurus increasingly gets infested by the so-called shell disease, in which bacteria apparently play an important role. This project will provide an overview of the epiphytic bacteria of the surface of C. pagurus and characterize its bacterial core community and identify typical microorganisms occurring on the carapace.
Using various microbiological techniques bacteria will be isolated to identify the cultivable fraction of the bacterial community on the carapace and for subsequent characterization of selected strains. Availability and investigation especially of strains representing relevant taxa will help to gain a better understanding of the interaction between the bacteria and their host, i.e. whether the relationship is based on mutualism, commensalism, or parasitism. Characterization of model organisms will include substrate tests (e.g. degradation of chitin), screening for production of antagonistic compounds (activity against bacteria, fungi and algae), signaling molecules and other secondary metabolites, possibly relevant for the interaction.

Moreover, the company has the right to be sued using its name. The incorporation of companies has different effects. For instance, incorporation of companies helps the company acquire a separate legal personality. When registering a company the registrar should ensure the company is incorporated. Though corporate personality has a lot of benefits, it has some disadvantages .It affects the members and the business in some cases. This paper analyzes corporate personality and shows how the statement provided is applicable to law.
There are various cases that show how companies are treated as separate entities from its members. For instance; the Salomon verses salmon and co Ltd case. In the 17th century most businesses which were conducted inform of partnerships or sole proprietorships were sold to companies (Fisk, 2009). The companies members were considered previous owners. For instance, Mr. Salomon had conducted his business as a sole trader and later sold the company to a company that was incorporated, A salmon and Co ltd.
The members in the new company were his wife, children and himself. The total numbers of members in the company were seven and they each had a one pound share. Mr. Salomon sold his business to the company for 39,000 pounds (Biondi &Canziani, 2007). After selling the company, Salomon used the money to subscribe for an additional share in the new company. The company did not pay Salomon the whole amount, but it issued him with a debentures.
Also, the company gave Salomon a floating charge on the companys asset as a security for the unpaid debts. After some time, the company went into liquidation. In case of liquidation, a person having a floating charge has the right to get the company asset. In this case, if Salomon had been able to force his floating charge, then the other creditors would not have got anything (Soifer, 1995). The liquidators and other creditors argued that Mr. Salomon should pay all the debts the way he would have carried out his business as a sole proprietors (Conaghan &Fischl, 2004).
But, Mr. Salomon did not agree with the decision because he had sold his business to a separate person. That is A Salomon and Co limited. Hence, Salomon had acquired limited liability to the company instead of unlimited liability. Corporate personality enables people to acquire limited liability. In limited liability the financial liability of a person is limited to a certain sum of money (Adams, 2002).
The sum is always equivalent to how much the person has invested in the company having limited liability. If a company having limited liability is sued, then the plaintiffs are said to be suing the firm, but not the owners of the company. In addition, shareholders in a company having limited liability are not responsible for any debts in the company, but for the amount of investment they have in the company. So, Mr. Salomon was not responsible for the companys debt as he had limited liability and also the company had limited liability (Mccahery, Picciotto &Scott, 1995).
In addition, only the company can enter into a contract in relation to the firms activities and property. In this case, the company carries out its activities without involving its employees. This is because the company has the right to carry out its business alone as outlined in the company law. Most of the businesses have been able to carry out business separately from its members (Deacon, 2004). This is evidenced by various cases that involve corporate law.
For instance, the Salomon verses A Salomon and Co limited case shows that companies are allowed to carry out their business alone. In the case, A Salomon Co. Ltd carried its business separately from its members. The company law gives the company a mandate to own property and enter into a contract. It also allows the company to incur debts. This is also shown in the Salomon verses A Salomon case where by the new company agreed to incur debts by failing to pay Salomon his money.
The company cannot blame its employees if any problems occur when carrying out its business. This is because the business is considered a person and it should solve its problems on its own (Tully, 2007). For instance, any defamatory statement that is made about the company does not affect the shareholders, creditors and employees. The statements affect the image of the company alone. On the other hand, the image of the shareholders, creditors and other employees remains intact as they are not part of the business.
Additionally, the company has the right to decide what to do incase of defamation. For instance, the company can decide to sue the person who defamed the company or not. If any member in the company defames the company, the company has a right to sue the member for the offense as he or she is separate from the company. Though the company is able to sue the person for destroying its image, the company does not get any aggravated damages. This is because the company does not have any feelings.
When the company is defamed there are no injuries caused to the feelings so its not able to get the compensation (Gilloly & Centre for Commercial and Resources Law, 1993). Aggravated damages are kind of compensation that is paid for injuries that are caused to feeling when a person is wronged. This is exemplified in the Collins Stewart limited verses financial times limited case. The financial times published an article in 2003 about the reputation of the Collins Stewart company.
The Collins Stewart company had been sued by an ex- staff (Geldart &Yardley, 2000). The financial times the allegations that had been made by the former employees of Collins Stewart. Then the Collins Stewart company and its parent company decided to sue the financial times for the damage they had caused. The company brought all the articles the financial times limited had published and the case between the company and the employee. The company combined the two cases so as to show the damage the financial times limited and the employee had caused to the Collins Stewart company.
In this case, the court argued that the Collins Stewart company could not be paid an aggravate damages as it had no feelings to be injured (Sornaraj, 2010). Though corporate personality has allowed companies to carry out their businesses, it has some down sides. For instance, it can lead to increase in crimes like fraud in the organization. This is because employees commit crime in the organization and claim that the company committed the offense. This might affect the organization negatively as those who committed the crime go unpunished.
Economic laws allow a person who committed a crime in the organization to be punished together with the company. Hence, the company should put strong measures to prevent such issues (MÃ¤ntysaari, 2009). Further, members of a firm have no interest in the firms property. The property of a company is considered the firms property, but not the property of the members. This is because the company is treated as a separate person from its members. Hence, the company has the right to decide which property to own and sell. The company does not have to consult employees, shareholders and other people when buying or selling property (International Corporate Law, 2003).
A member of business cannot claim compensation when the companys properties are destroyed. This is because he has no right to own the companys property. For instance, a company cannot sue the person who has caused the damage in order to get compensation for the damage. A company is viewed as the legal owner of assets or any other property in the company. It also viewed as the beneficial owner of the asset (Zerk, 2006). There are no rules in company law that entrust the companys property to members or any other person as a beneficiary (Blumberg, 1993).
Additionally, the members of a company cannot be said to be the beneficiaries of the property even if they have some shares in the company. On the other hand, a business can not become a trustee of the property under the rules used to create trust and select trustees. This is because it is considered a person like other people. This is shown in the Macaura verses Northern assurance company limited case. In the case, the owner of a timber farm sold the timber to a firm that he owned almost all the shares.
The owner was considered one of the biggest creditors in the company. The owner insured the timber against damage by fire using his own name. Later the timber was damaged by fire and he decided to sue the company that offered the insurance policy. During the trial, the court claimed that the owner of the timber did not have any right to own the timber, though he had a large amount of shares in the company. The court further noted that the owner or any other creditor in the company did not have any legal rights to own the property, but the property belonged to the company. Only the company was able to claim the damage (Cassidy, 2006).
Apart from the company having a right to own property, the members of a company are not able to sue anyone on the behalf of the company. The corporate personality ensures the company and the members in the company are separate. For instance, the employees, shareholders and the community are different from the company. The members of a business are not allowed to sue any person who wrongs the company on behalf of the firm.For instance, incase of looses of property or destruction of public image, the employees, shareholders or any other members are not allowed to sue the person who committed the crime on behalf of the business.
In this case, the firm is the one given the power to do so. Additionally, the company has the right to contract with the members in the company (Smith, 1999). This is because the company is a considered a person. So, the company is allowed to carry out transaction with its members. There are many ways in which a company carries business with its members. For instance, a company contracts with the members when paying shares (Ford &Austin, 1990).
The money the members pay for the shares belongs to the business as a person. When the company pays dividends to the members, the money it pays does not belong to the firm as a separate person. Further, the company can hire one of the members in the company under a contract (Shaw, 2003). This is because the company has the right to employ the embers either employees or creditors. This is evidenced in the Re eschange banking company and Flitcrofs case. The court claimed that the company was not only made of shareholders, but each shareholder has a right to transact with the company.
Also, the Wurzel verses Houghton main home delivery services limited case, the court argued that the company can work with its employees or other members. In the case, a vehicle that was owned by the firm was used to transport coal to some of its members. The members in return paid for the transport services. Some of the members claimed that the vehicle was not used for the right purpose as it was used to carry goods for hire. The court noted that the companys vehicle was being used well as the company vehicle was used to serve the companys members (Worthington &Sealy, 2007).
The corporate personality allows a company to overcome the death of the company members. When the members of a company die, the company does not cease to exist. This is because the company has the right to continue living (HohenVelden, 1987). The company continues as the owner of the property and parties of contracts that are not completed. This prevents the remaining representatives from loosing the companys asset. This is evidenced by a series of cases.
For instance, the Re Noel tedman holding limited. In this case, the Noel and his wife were the only shareholders in two companies. They were also the directors of the companies before their death. The death of the shareholders did not affect the companies. The two companies continued to exist. The companies were considered the owners of the property. They were also allowed to participate in contracts. The representative of the shareholders sought help from the court to enable them elect new directors. Where all the representatives are dead, the company can be disbanded by the registrar (Bhargava, 2008).
The veil of incorporation in company law refers to prevention of effects that result from separate corporate personality of a firm. It is often described using words like removing the veil of incorporation or piercing etc. It is also called removing the veil of corporate personality (Kempin, Wiesen &Bagby, 1990). It involves treating the rights of the company as the rights of its members. It also means considering shareholders in the company because of some legal benefits.
Treating the rights, liabilities and activities of a company like the rights of the shareholders, creditors have a lot of benefits to the organization. This is because it helps companies avoid the negative effects of corporate personality. Considering the members of a company when establishing the rights and liabilities of the company is common and there is no company law that can help prevent the process. Wedderburn argued that it is not time to know if a firm is a sham and when to remove the veil of corporate personality. In this case, a sham refers to pretence (Davies, 2003).
For instance, a person who is subjected to legal obligation uses a company to avoid the court decision and the court asks the person to abide with the obligation. The court terms the company as a sham. The statement is applicable in the development of the company law. The statement implies that people should be concerned with knowing whether the company is a not ethical and when to take away the veil of the corporate personality (Braithwaite &Drahos, 2000). This statement has contributed a lot to the development of the laws.
For instance, different countries have been forced to improve the company laws in the country to ensure equal benefits for all parties (Brodie, 2010). Before, the courts and other people did not understand the law and made decisions that were not ethical. For instance, a business man can leave his job in the firm as a director and sign a contract to avoid competition from the company for sometime and later establish a company to compete with the company left. In this case, the court would consider the new company as a fraud and allow the old company to sue the person.
The court does not take into account other rights that the new company and the person have. This has affected some people negatively and others have not been punished, but the company has been punished. As a result of the views different people have and the consequences of corporate personality, most people have looked for ways to improve the company law by incorporating the rights of the members and the company. For instance, the law has been improved to prevent members in a company to commit crimes and claim that it is the company. Before, a person was likely to commit a crime and accuse the company, but things have changed as a result of the above statement. This is because people have been forced to change the way they reason (Grantham &Rickett, 1998).
The corporate personality has its advantages and disadvantages. First, corporate personality gives the company numerous rights. For instance, it allows the company to own property without including its members. The company is always free to sell and acquire property from any one. It also allows the company to sue any person for causing damage without the help of the members. Thought the company is able to sue any person for damages, it is not possible to get aggravate damages. This is because the company does not have any feelings that can be hurt.
It also prevents the members in a company from suing the company incase of damages as the members and the companies are different entities. Also, the company has the right to incur debts without affecting the members. In this case, the members are not held accountable when the company incurs debts as they have limited liability. So, the employee should not pay the debts incurred by the company. Moreover, the corporate personality allows companies to continue surviving incase some of the key members like directors die. The company has the right to enter into contract and own property on behalf of the members who have died.
In some cases, the company can be disbanded if all the members die. The corporate personality denies the members in the company their rights. This is because the company does not consider the rights of the employees when establishing their rights. This causes negative effect on the members. The lifting of the veil of incorporation in the company helps overcome such issues as companies consider the rights of the members. The company law has changed for the last two decades. For instance, it has prevented courts from considering companies as fraud and lifting the corporate veil. Instead, the law has encouraged the integration of the rights of the members and the company.

Thank you for your prayers for revival and for our prodigals. As we continue to pray for God’s working in our lives and in the lives of others, may this devotional be a source of encouragement.
The book of Numbers is the 4th in our Bible and tells the story of a people who came short of true victory. The Septuagint translators (those who translated the ancient Hebrew text into Greek) named the book Numbers because of the double numbering of the Children of Israel. The Hebrew title simply means, “in the wilderness.” Maybe a more applicable title could be Wilderness Wanderings.
The book resumes the narrative that left off in Exodus and highlights some significant events through the remaining 38 years of wandering from Mt. Sinai to the Promised Land.
Guided by the Holy Spirit, Paul writes to the Corinthian believers (1 Corinthians 10:1-14) and gives a summary of Numbers:
I don’t want you to forget, dear brothers and sisters, about our ancestors in the wilderness long ago. All of them were guided by a cloud that moved ahead of them, and all of them walked through the sea on dry ground. In the cloud and in the sea, all of them were baptized as followers of Moses. All of them ate the same spiritual food, and all of them drank the same spiritual water. For they drank from the spiritual rock that traveled with them, and that rock was Christ. Yet God was not pleased with most of them, and their bodies were scattered in the wilderness. These things happened as a warning to us, so that we would not crave evil things as they did, or worship idols as some of them did. As the Scriptures say, “The people celebrated with feasting and drinking, and they indulged in pagan revelry.” And we must not engage in sexual immorality as some of them did, causing 23,000 of them to die in one day. Nor should we put Christ to the test, as some of them did and then died from snakebites. And don’t grumble as some of them did, and then were destroyed by the angel of death. These things happened to them as examples for us. They were written down to warn us who live at the end of the age. If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall. The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure. So, my dear friends, flee from the worship of idols.
The human condition has not changed. Those people long ago were no different from us today. Their story was left on record for our benefit. In the NLT, verse 6 says, “These things happened as a warning to us.” The word for warning in the original Greek is (τύπος) tupos, and according to Strongs Word Studies, it means a die, a stamp, a shape, a statue, a model, an example, a fashion, a figure, a form, a manner, a pattern, and a print.
There is a pattern in their behavior that we should be careful to avoid. First they lusted after evil things (verse 6). Then they substituted other things for God (verse 7). This is the sin of idolatry. In their departure, they committed immorality (verse 8). The tragedy of their unbelief led them to tempt Christ (verse 9), which came out in their grumbling attitude toward God.
It is easy for us to think we are somehow better and condemn these people, but Paul turns the light of truth on the Corinthian believers and on us and says, “If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall. The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience” (1 Corinthians 10:12-13).
Standing strong is a good thing when our strength is being drawn from the Lord. But there is a dangerous, proud mindset that says, “I can do this myself. I’m not going to fall. I’m too good for that.”
Life is full of temptations that will draw us away from a close, intimate place with God. On our own, we will fall. With His help we will stand. This requires trust in and worship of our great God.
In verse 13, Paul says, “God is faithful.” This is a given. This is the nature of God. Numbers teaches us that we, like them, are a failing people, but God will not give up on us. God will always remain true to His promises and He will see us through to the end.
The full text says, “The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure” (1 Corinthians 10:13).
God is faithful and He is also sufficient. Sometimes our path is unbearable and overwhelming. We are stretched to the limit and beyond, yet through it all, He will be with us. If we turn to Him, He will supply what we need.
Love in Christ,
Bryan and Rachel

Water births banned at Ipswich Hospital
A GROUP of more than 10 mothers and soon-to-be mums rallied with their families outside Ipswich Hospital yesterday as the local health board ruled out water births in the region.
West Moreton Hospital and Health Service chief executive Lesley Dwyer said Ipswich Hospital was not in a position to support water births.
"Due to a number of key factors we are unable to offer this service in a way that would maintain our ultimate objective of patient safety," Ms Dwyer said.
She said Ipswich Hospital's maternity unit was not equipped for water births, the hospital was not accredited for water births and maternity staff were not trained to facilitate water births.
Any expecting mum wanting a water birth will have to travel to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital or Gold Coast University Hospital, an extra 45 minutes to an hour travel time.
Redbank Plains mother Susan Gough, who had a water birth, said the extra travel time meant there was no viable option for women in the region to have a water birth.
"My labour was 45 minutes, so I wouldn't have even made it if I had to go that far," she said.
Mrs Gough said that the rally was about assuring that women had the right to decide.
"It's not whether you agree with water births or not, it's not whether you would even choose to have a water birth or not, it's about the hospital taking away a woman's right to choose," she said.
Brassall mum Peta De Villiers, whose 19 month old was a water birth, said that women had to be given the option to choose a water birth.
"It is extremely important to have a safe option available to women," she said.
"Water makes you feel in control, it gives you a safe environment and is a natural pain relief.
"It is our right to choose where we give birth and how we give birth."
Ms Dwyer said a very small number of expectant mothers who come to Ipswich Hospital request a water birth.
"At this stage, there is no plan to introduce water births at Ipswich Hospital, due to the small demand for this option and the complexities and costs involved in setting up the appropriate infrastructure," she said.


Understanding Cloud Computing and Its Benefits for Small Businesses
Cloud computing has become an increasingly popular technology for businesses of all sizes. It offers a range of advantages, from cost savings to improved scalability and flexibility. For small businesses, cloud computing can be especially beneficial, as it can help them to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and stay competitive in the market. In this article, we will explore the basics of cloud computing and discuss the key benefits it can offer to small businesses.
What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing is a type of computing that involves using remote servers hosted on the internet to store, manage, and process data. It is a way of accessing and using applications, services, and resources over the internet, rather than having to install and maintain them on a local computer or server.
Benefits of Cloud Computing for Small Businesses
Small businesses can benefit from cloud computing in a number of ways. Here are some of the key advantages:
- Cost Savings: Cloud computing can help small businesses to reduce their IT costs, as they no longer need to purchase and maintain expensive hardware and software. Instead, they can access the resources they need on a pay-as-you-go basis, which can help to reduce their overall IT costs.
- Scalability: Cloud computing allows businesses to scale up or down their IT resources as needed, without having to invest in additional hardware or software. This makes it easier for businesses to adjust to changing market conditions and customer demands.
- Flexibility: Cloud computing allows businesses to access their data and applications from anywhere, at any time. This makes it easier for businesses to collaborate with remote teams and customers, and to access their data from any device.
- Security: Cloud computing providers offer a range of security measures to protect businesses’ data, such as encryption, authentication, and access control. This can help businesses to protect their data from unauthorized access and cyberattacks.
Case Study: How Cloud Computing Helped a Small Business
One example of how cloud computing can benefit small businesses is the case of a small retail business in the UK. The business had been struggling to keep up with customer demand due to its limited IT resources. After switching to cloud computing, the business was able to scale up its IT resources quickly and easily, allowing it to meet customer demand and increase its sales.
Cloud computing can offer a range of benefits to small businesses, from cost savings to improved scalability and flexibility. It can also help businesses to protect their data from unauthorized access and cyberattacks. By taking advantage of cloud computing, small businesses can stay competitive in the market and increase their sales.

If you do install solar water heating, make sure that as much of your hot water as possible is taken from the solar supply, rather than heated electrically in an appliance. This can include fitting a mixer shower rather than an electric shower (check with your plumber that the water pressure is sufficient).
You may get more out of your system if you use more of your hot water in the evening, after the solar has had time to heat it up. However, it’s more important to make sure that your back-up heating system is set up to come on at the right time.
Before you installed the solar panels, your boiler or immersion heater was probably set to give you a full tank of hot water in the morning. If you leave it like this, your system will always start the day with a hot tank and there will be nothing for the solar panels to heat during the day.
Your installer should advise you on how to set your hot water controls to get the most out of your new system, whatever time of day you use hot water.

NAPTIP: We Have Rescued 15,000 Victims of Human Trafficking
By Olawale Ajimotokan
The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) yesterday said it had rescued over 15,000 victims of human trafficking.
NAPTIP’s Director-General, Mr. Imaan Ibrahim, disclosed this during a courtesy visit on the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Farouq, in Abuja.
She said, “From inception till date, the agency has investigated over 10,000 cases of human trafficking, rescued over 15,000 victims of human trafficking and prosecuted close to 500 perpetrators of the crime.”
Ibrahim said the agency had through its operational activities done arrests, investigations and prosecution of perpetrators of human trafficking, counseling, rehabilitation, repatriation, as well as the reintegration of victims into the society.
In a statement issued in Abuja by the media aide to the humanitarian minister, Nneka Anibeze, the NAPTIP boss said the agency would ensure that vulnerable persons across the country were given renewed hope for a sane and secured society.
On her part, Farouq tasked NAPTIP to focus on the domestication of Trafficking in Persons (Prohibition) Enforcement and Administration Act 2015, as well as the Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Act, 2015 in all states of the federation.
She said focusing on the domestication of these Acts would ease some of the problems currently faced by NAPTIP in the implementation of key interventions and programmes.
“I implore you to utilise data and evidence-based systems to improve or create programmes and align these programmes with the policies of the ministry for effective multi-sectoral participation in the realisation of the core mandate of NAPTIP,” Farouq stated.

Widely acknowledged as the world’s leading tenor, the singer shares his personal favourite songs of the festive season in Christmas with Jonas Kaufmann at the Royal Albert Hall on Thursday 16th December 2021.
The programme will include renditions of traditional songs that the young Kaufmann sang with his family around the Christmas tree in his native Germany (‘In dulci jubilo’, ‘Ich steh an deiner Krippen hier’), beloved carols popular throughout the world, such as ‘In the Bleak Midwinter’, ‘What Child is This?’, ‘O Come, All Ye Faithful’ (Adeste fideles), ‘Hark the Herald Angels Sing’, and swinging hits made famous by the likes of Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald, including ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’, ‘Winter Wonderland’, ‘White Christmas’ and ‘The Christmas Song’.
Accompanied by the German State Philharmonic (Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie) led by Kaufmann’s regular recital partner Jochen Rieder, the Royal Albert Hall date is the only performance of the concert in the UK. This exclusive Christmas event marks Kaufmann’s return to the Royal Albert Hall for the first time since his performance at the Last Night of the Proms in 2015. He had previously appeared at the iconic venue for the Classic BRIT Awards in 2009.
Christmas has always been special for Kaufmann. As a child, he landed on the front page of a Munich newspaper – at the age of eight – after describing his family’s lively, musical Christmas Eve celebrations so vividly that he won a school prize. The songs he has chosen reflect those happy memories and the pleasure of the Christmas holidays, ranging from grateful worship to the joy of being with family and friends. Following the success of Kaufmann’s 2020 recording It’s Christmas!, the album has been extended to include seven newly recorded songs, and recently re-released on Sony Classical.
The concert is a major highlight of Christmas at the Royal Albert Hall which returns to full capacity after two years, with nearly 40 shows over 24 days as part of the venue’s 150th anniversary celebrations.
Royal Albert Hall and Alegria present Christmas with Jonas Kaufman

This book draws together the work of contemporary photographers who have explored the visual and psychological effects of the transition from day to night. It examines their technically ambitious attempts to record or replicate the rapid and transient effects of daylight succumbing to darkness, and analyses the mysterious states of mind and awakened sensibilities these works suggest, at the threshold between the familiar and the unknown. In placing the photographs in their broader historical, literary, meteorological and technical contexts, "Twilight" reveals the timeless allure of the magic hour. Stunning images by such high-profile contemporary photographers as Gregory Crewdson, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Robert Adams and Bill Henson are explored.
