This small cabinet with two doors in the front and a drawer is a synthesis of sculpture and marquetry, different techniques that were very popular during the Italian Renaissance.
Perfectly structured, it imitates the facades of ancient temples.
The two leaves are framed by two pilasters that rise from a slightly projecting moulded base. The base decorated with a rose window frames a long drawer. The pilasters are carved with plant motifs. Two capitals with acanthus baskets crown them and support a powerful entablature with a particularly overhanging cornice. A frieze of stars in marquetry is set between two beautiful flowers.
Each leaf is divided into two almost square panels surrounded by marquetry filleting depicting geometric motifs. The upper panels are decorated with fine scrolls forming interlaces while the two lower panels are carved with double corolla flowers.
A frieze of foliage symmetrically frames a coat of arms.
The small and elegant proportions of this cabinet, the vigour of its sculpture, the refinement of its marquetry along with its volumes make it a piece of furniture of great quality
At the end of the 15th century, Florence was home to numerous marquetry and woodcarving workshops. The golden age of intarsia, the marquetry of wood, took place between 1470 and 1520.
During the 15th century, intarsia was limited to light, sober and sparingly distributed friezes. The end of the quattrocento witnesses a greater use of marquetry turning pieces of wood into real palatial pieces.
This furniture, isfoggiato, as opposed to the very regulated fogia furniture ( only one type of wood, cornice forbidden, board’s uniform thickness ) was a real sumptuary expense requiring for their realization an authorization of the Arte dei Legnaioli and the payment of a tax.
Often compared stylistically to Middle Eastern craftsmanship, of which certain groups could be found in Venice or Florence, the origin of intarsia is to be found beyond that in the cosmatesque (stone mosaics). Both for its techniques and style, the work of the Cosmati marble makers and their successors, applied to church pavements and pieces such as wall facings or ambos, leads us to see intarsia as a true evolution and derivation of this craft. Moreover, it was common for some of the best wood markers, such as Domenico del Coro or Pietro del Minella, to be employed in the creation of church pavements.
Intarsia itself is divided into several varieties which differ in their processes as well as in their appearance.On this cabinet predominates certosina ; a marquetry composed of tiny pieces of wood, most often in geometrical forms. The word certosina originates from the work produced by the carthusians. Disciples of Saint Bruno applied themselves for centuries to the patient making of wood or mother-of-pearl inlays, bone or ivory marqueteries, whose purpose was to enrich ecclesiastical furniture.
Certosina spread beyond the monastic order to reach Florentine workshops amongst others. When intarsia pittorica appeared, certosina did not fade away and kept being used on furniture as bands, friezes or cornices.

Verbena hastata is mostly grown for its ornamental appeal and wildlife benefit, but it also has been used in traditional medicine for generations. It is well-known for its preference for moist to wet soils and is often found near water bodies or in wetland settings. It will self-seed but starting the seeds indoors allows for more control over germination and early growth, resulting in healthier plants for your garden. Sow seeds 1/8 inch deep and transplant to the garden when seedlings are strong.
Verbena hastata, Blue Vervain
- Height: 3'-5'. Spread: 1'-2'. Slender spikes of violet-blue to lavender flowers in mid to late summer. Prefers sun to part-shade and moist soil. No pre-treatment

YUNGBLUD is debuting a heart-wrenching new music video for “Kill Somebody.”
The video is a visual representation of what anxiety and depression feel like inside his head, according to the songwriter. Watch it below!
Read more: Remember when YUNGBLUD was on a Disney show?
YUNGBLUD’s “Kill Somebody” is uncomfortable. First, it shows the musician covered in blood in his hands and face. The idea of suicide is also present throughout the video.
The violence is not gratuitous, though. The video is supposed to be a visual depiction of the anxiety and depression he suffers.
“This song is about the darkest place I discovered in my mind. At first it really scared me. But i learned to talk about it,” he explains on Instagram. “For those of you who have felt or feel any type of darkness, know your not alone. Mental health is finally being taken seriously allowing conversations to be had and this song helped me free myself from the weight of it for a while.”
The singer/songwriter also adds that he kept the track stripped back in order not to “cloud the message behind it.”

South Municipal Corporation on Monday decided to forgo development charges that the local body should collect after the regularisation of unauthorised colonies. The corporation asked the Delhi government to waive off the cost of land,which the land-owning agencies have to collect from the residents of unauthorised colonies.
Standing Committee Chairman (South corporation) Rajesh Gehlot said the residents have already paid the panchs in the villages.
The agricultural land was transferred to gram sabha,and thus,the residents had to pay money to panchayat heads in order to get the land. Now,the residents will pay more to get their houses regularised. This will burden them further. So,we have appealed to the Delhi government not to recover cost of land from these people. We will also not take development charges from these colonies for services provided, Gehlot said.

March 31, 2016
Canadian real GDP by industry at basic prices (seasonally adjusted) advanced 0.6% in January, following three consecutive monthly increases in October (+0.1%), November (+0.3%) and December (+0.2%).
The goods-producing (+1.2%) and service-producing (+0.4%) industries both increased in January. In the goods producing industries, manufacturing (+1.9%), mining, quarrying & oil and gas extraction (+0.9%) and utilities (+2.7%) were major contributors to the real GDP growth. Construction (+0.5%) and agriculture, forestry, fishing & hunting (+0.3%) advanced modestly. In the service-producing industries, solid gains in retail trade (+1.5%), the finance & insurance sector (+0.6%), and transportation & warehousing (+1.4%) dampened the effect of declines in wholesale trade (-0.2%) and the arts, entertainment & recreation sector (-1.2%).

Another showbiz personality bids farewell as Nonong de Andres a.k.a “Bangkay” took his final breath morning of November 6. As of writing, there is no update behind the actor’s passing. Through Facebook, Powee Capino and Philippine Star informed the public that the veteran actor departed at the age of 71. On social media, Powee wrote:
“Please pray for the eternal repose of the soul of my Tito Nonong who (had gone) early this moring. He is more popularly known as “Bangkay” in horror movies and “Bangky” in Forevermore. This is aside from the hundreds of movies and TV appearances he was in throughout his acting career. He was 71.”
In an article of ABS-CBN, Nonong shared how his showbiz career began. According to him, he was working as a layout artist for RVQ Productions established by the late king of comedy, Dolphy. Apparently, he was chosen to be one of the extras in Dolphy’s film.
“Ayaw ko mag-artista, katuwaan lang yun eh. May kumuha nang may kumuha.”
He shared how he didn’t have any background on acting but noticed how the Philippine audience liked his natural portrayal of the roles handed to him. According to him, people used to call him Dr. KM-Tayan but over time, they started calling him Bangkay.
He has become part of more than 100 movies aside from his many TV appearances. In the same interview, he revealed that his only idol is the man who opened his doors to acting.
“Si Dolphy. Magaling. Walang katulad si Dolphy, all-around, versatile actor yun. Lahat nagagampanan.”
From an accidental actor, he was able to leave a legacy in both film and TV industry. He will always be remembered as Bangkay and Bangky. May he rest in peace together with his idol, the king of comedy.

In this week’s Podcast, Ethan rejoins the show to recap on the Nintendo Direct which took place on the 09/04/2019, to discuss the recent news of Telltale apparently being revived, Sony’s apparent list for the Tokyo Games Show, Nintendo Ring Fit Adventure Announcement, and Ikumi Nakamura leaving Zenimax Studios.
Nintendo Direct Recap
Kicking us off for our leading topic this week, the guys recap on Nintendo’s latest Direct which featured everything from Overwatch coming to Nintendo Switch, SNES games FINALLY making an appearance, Terry Bogard joins Smash Ultimate and a bunch of new Indies coming to the system.
Telltale Games Revived
Following this, Andrew discusses the announcement that Telltale Games is apparently being resurrected by a company called LCG Entertainment. Don’t worry if you have never heard of them, we haven’t either! This LCG Entertainment will apparently be completing the projects Telltale abandoned when they closed down and will be bringing on a heap of old names from Telltale. Details relating to this story are very vague and we speculated on what or why LCG would bring Telltale back.
Sony at TGS 2019
Anthony then discusses a list of games Sony would be showing at the Tokyo Games Show as well as what we are most looking forward to during the event. What were some of your predictions from the Tokyo Games Show?
Cyberpunk 2077 FPS only
Next up, CD Projekt Red has decided to remove all Third Person Cutscenes from Cyberpunk 2077 and make the entire game in First Person. There has been a lot of backlash with this decision due to the character customisation option in-game. Players will barely be able to see their custom made characters throughout the game unless they look in mirrors or reflective items in-game.
Ring Fit Adventure
Following this, Ethan discusses the latest device from Nintendo set to revolutionise how you get fit and play Video Games. The Ring Fit Adventure looks like something you would expect to see coming from Nintendo, featuring a resistance type ring device that you work out with as well as a leg band that measures your movements. We discuss our thoughts on the device, possible names for it and much more.
Ikumi Nakamura Departs Zenimax
And lastly, Taylor discusses Ikumi Nakamura leaving her position at Zenimax studios and her statements to the sudden decision. We discuss why she potentially left her position at the studio and what her future may hold in Video Games.

Continuing the holiday theme, vet Marc Abraham discusses the options for the care of your pet if you go away during the summer
Last week, I wrote about holidaying in the UK with your pet. However, if you do find yourselves holidaying abroad this year and must leave your pet behind, you'll want to know that they're safe and happy until your return. But who's trustworthy enough to care for your beloved pet, giving you piece of mind while you're sunning yourself on a beach hundreds of miles away?
Deciding between a petsitter or a boarding kennel or cattery can be tough. Would your pet prefer activity and the company of other pets in a kennel situation, or would they be happier in the comfort of their own home and routine? Perhaps your pet has special medical needs (such as arthritis or diabetes) that would help determine which type of care is best?
Recommendations by friends and family are a good starting point. If choosing a petsitter, check their personal references and invite them to an introductory meeting at your home to meet the pet, discuss care, and plan visits. If boarding your pet, request a tour of the facilities before booking - check for overall cleanliness, feeding and exercise timetables, and staff friendliness, knowledge and willingness to accommodate any individual pet requirements or deal with emergency situations.
Boarding kennels can sometimes offer your dog more attention, supervision and security than if you leave it home alone to be visited by petsitters once or twice daily, as well as having staff who are trained to spot any health problems. However, it's important to remember that some dogs get stressed in unfamiliar environments, so kennels that offer additional services such as grooming, training and bathing may benefit dogs that are more dependent on human contact.
Catteries are usually 'outdoor' or 'indoor', depending on the presence of outside runs, and preferably employ sneeze barriers (pictured), with ideally no possibility of cats coming into direct contact with each other (apart from those normally living together at home). Cats also love scratching posts, toys and shelves, and need adequate space to exercise and move around.
Whatever you decide, ensure that your pet's vaccinations are up to date (with a certificate) well in advance of your departure. Vaccinating on the day you leave may satisfy the requirements of the kennel or cattery, but may not be the best disease protection for your pet. If your pet is boarding, bringing its own toys, blankets, treats, familiar unwashed bedding and food can also help to reassure it, reducing stress and the chances of an upset stomach.
Finally, have a great trip, knowing that your pet is in good hands and will be happy to see you when you return!

Current Weather Conditions
In what had already been a high scoring half, Patrick Henry was driving toward the Charleston Collegiate goal, hoping to take a two TD lead into the half. Unfortunately the Sun Devils' Khalil Davis had other ideas. Davis, who scored eight TDs on the night, scored on two consecutive Patriot interceptions, giving Collegiate a 40-36 lead at the half.
Mike McCoy's Patriots came into this Homecoming tilt attempting to overcome season ending injuries to two players, Cody Youmans and Brandon DeLoache. This is the second lineup shuffling for PHA this season, having lost halfback Grant Youmans in week one. "We had to be very scared of Collegiate; while they had four losses, they had played some very good teams, and had scored a lot of points," says McCoy.
The first quarter ended with a relatively tame 16-14 Sun Devil lead. PHA scored early in the second quarter, and threatened to take that two score lead until Davis scored on the two interception returns, his fourth and fifth TDs of the half.
The Patriots refused to fold, as Paul Daniel DeLoach scored three touchdowns in the third quarter, but PHA still trailed 64-58 going into the fourth quarter. Behind the running of DeLoach, who rushed for a school record 533 yards on 49 carries, and Gibson Wall's 171 yards, the Patriots did their best to stay in the game. Collegiate took an 86-70 lead with 1:10 left on the clock, but Wall was not ready to quit. He took the ensuing kickoff and raced 75 yards for a score; Wall had four kickoff returns for 166 yards. The Sun Devils recovered the ensuing onside kick, and were able to run out the clock and notch the 86-78 win.
Patrick Henry managed 734 yards of offense on the night, but it was their inability to stop the Sun Devils passing game, and especially Davis, that doomed them to defeat. The Patriot defense was led by DeLoach with eight tackles and Jesse Peebles with five.
The Patriots, now 6-2, and 3-2 in region play, will travel to Coastal Christian Prep next Friday. Charleston Collegiate improves to 3-4, 3-2 in the region and will travel to St. John's Christian next week.
Patrick Henry Academy of Estill, SC competes in Region 1 of the South Carolina Independent Schools Association 8-man football league.

We had VitoDuke (Mel) over this weekend with two other couples, and had a great time. We threw pizza, drank wine and christened the demo kitchen. I think everyone had a good time -- and the food was great.
One of the dishes was a baked salmon that Peter made.
Peter coated the fish with salt, pepper, oil and rosemary, and grilled it on the Forno Bravo grill, skin side down in a moderately hot oven. It got some light sear marks.
Then, he sauted diced celery, onion, garlic and parsley and oil in pan. He added the salmon to the pan, skin side up, and coated it with honey. He added a couple of tablespoons of tomato sauce from the pizzas, and returned the pan to bake. Really nice. All done in the oven right after pizza. The salman had been slightly seared, and it was very moist and the veggies were soft and had a wonderful flavor. I'm probably leaving something out, but this at least gives you the idea.
Here are a couple of photos.
Try it out. It was more interesting than just baking the salmon and not that hard to do.
Hi James, --We would all like to thank you for a fantastic meal. It really was amazing how easy Peter made everything look. The oven is capable of doing so much more than pizza. Anybody with an oven should make arrangements with James for the class. This time of year is so beautiful in the wine country, and James is the perfect host.The Roquefort and Portobello mushroom pizza was one of the best pizza's we've tasted. THANKS AGAIN--Mel

fundraising with fegans
Project: Fegans charity has been running since 1870, and a fresh look at fundraising and focus was launched this year. Fegans strives to bring hope to vulnerable children, and to educate children on the importance of mental and emotional wellbeing from a young age. As part of the fundraising effort, Fegans will be launching their first primary school fundraising campaign in Autumn/Winter term 2018/2019. The artwork needed to reflect the fun of the campaign, inclusivity and above all the positivity of the core message, to engage young children, as well as the education community, in the benefits of the project.
Process: After careful consideration of the target audience and aim of fundraising, and further engaging primary schools across the South East, a logo was created that was fun and youthful, but also simple enough to be used with bold, and potentially complex artworks and documents going forward. A naive but modern art direction was introduced, with pattern assets and primary colour scheme that will compliment an assets going forward.
Deliverables: A complete project brochure portfolio produced in digital and print, to be directed at 150 schools across the South East. All assets for activity sheets, lesson plans, motion graphics, assembly materials, fundraising packs and relevant marketing materials such as posters and flyers.
campaigns from fegans
As part of reaching out to the greater community, school groups were invited to the exhibition ‘Seasons of Change’. Branded artwork was needed to engage the young children in a fun and modern way, so ‘Little Stars’ was created, a series of characters and activity sheets based upon the theme ‘Seasons’. The artwork was also used for fundraising during events promoting children’s emotional wellbeing, as well as fundraising opportunities and online engagement with families.
‘Headspace’ was created to engage with a teenage audience. After working with a market research group, presenting three directions of design, ‘minimlism’ was chosen for it’s broad use as an inclusive theme for young people too used to being sterotyped. The creation of the ‘Headspace’ book, working with a teen counsellor, was a great success, with 7,000 copies being issued, and more sold online to teens and to parents. Due to this success a further ongoing campaign is in development.
Fegans was founded by James Fegan in 1870, and evolved from childrens’ homes, into a charity counselling children, supporting parents vulnerable familes across the South East. ‘Seasons of Change: The Fegans’ Story’ told the story of the charity from conception to present day. Branding and communication materials worked to acheive a great success, with 28,000 people visiting. The branding also supported many offshoot campaigns for the charity, including ‘Headspace’

Immunity: Immunity Types, Immune System Disorders, And How To Boost Your Immune Defense
Immune defense is the ability of the body to wade off microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi that are capable of causing infections in the body. Immunity in a sentence is the ability of the body to fight off foreign invaders either microbe or cancerous cells. The immune system is a complex system made of organs and cells that interact to subserve the defensive function. The immune system plays an indispensable role in maintaining healthy living. They are divided into two broad types of immunity based on the rapidity of their responses which are Innate and adaptive.
Types of immunity
There are two types of immunity, active immunity, and passive immunity.
- – Active immunity
Active immunity is achieved when the immune system is exposed to a disease organism, it produces antibodies against that illness. This type of immunity can either be gotten naturally or from vaccination. Natural immunity is developed via exposure to the disease-causing agent and subsequent disease-related illness. Through vaccination, a weakened or dead form of the pathogenic microbe is introduced, resulting in the development of vaccine-induced immunity. (1)
In whatever circumstance, if an immune person later comes into touch with that disease, their immune system will instantly detect it and makes the antibodies required to combat it. Active immunity is persistent and occasionally lifelong. (1)
- – Passive Immunity
Passive immunity is acquired when antibodies against disease are administered to a person rather than produced by the person’s system. Through the placenta, a newborn infant receives passive immunity from their mother while in the womb. Passive immunity can also be obtained by antibody-containing blood products such as immune globulin, that may be administered when rapid protection from a specific illness is required like tetanus antitoxin. (1)
Passive immunity gives instant protection since active immunity requires a long time (typically several weeks) to develop. Passive immunity, on the other hand, only lasts for some time unlike active immunity lasts a long time. (1) Furthermore, immune defense responses can further be classified as either innate or adaptive based on their response time and effectiveness.(1)
Innate vs Adaptive Immune Function
The innate immune response is unspecific and forms the initial line of protection against infections. The innate immune response includes physical, chemical, and cell-mediated protection against infections. The innate immune response aim is to stop the growth and spread of invading infections throughout the body quickly. (2)
Adaptive immune response forms the body’s second line of defense against pathologic microbes.
The adaptive immune response is customized to the pathogen in question and thus adapted to combat specific microorganisms is optimized for. Despite its effectiveness, it can occasionally make mistakes and attack itself. The adaptive immune response can lead to the development of autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system attacks its own. lupus, myasthenia gravis, and rheumatoid arthritis are good examples of such conditions. (2)
Although the adaptive immune response is slower than the innate immune response, however, it is more effective. The adaptive immune response, on the other hand, has a long-lasting and highly specific impact that is sustained over an extended period by memory T cells. (2)
Where is the Immune System Located?
The immune system is located in several organs across the body. These organs include the adenoids which are two glands found behind the nasal passage. Another is the bone marrow, which is the soft, spongy tissue found within bone cavities. (3)
Lymph nodes are distributed throughout the body and take the shape of a bean. lymph nodes are connected by lymphatic vessels, which form a network of channels responsible for transporting lymphocytes to lymphoid organs and the bloodstream. (3)
Other sites where immune system located are Peyer patches, thymus, spleen, and tonsils. Peyer patches are a form of lymphoid tissue found in the small intestine, whereas the spleen is a fist-sized immune organ found in the abdomen. The thymus consists of two lobes and is situated in front of the windpipe and behind the breastbone. The tonsils are two oval masses located at the back of the throat. (3)
Also, the immune and lymphatic system are interconnected. The lymphatics system is the network of vessels that transports lymph across the body. Lymph is a fluid containing absorbed fat and also antibodies cells that are responsible for fighting off disease-causing microbes.
Immune System Disorders
The following are disorders that can result from the immune system:
(A) Diseases resulting from an overactive immune system
- – Asthma: A respiratory disease characterized by coughing, wheezing, and difficulty with breathing that may arise from the reaction in your lungs. Asthma can be induced by common allergens such as dust or pollen, as well as irritants such as cigarette smoke.
- – Eczema: (Atopic dermatitis): This is an itchy rash caused by a substance that triggers allergies(allergen).
- – Allergic rhinitis: People who suffer from allergic rhinitis complain of frequent sneezing, and runny nose upon exposure to Indoor allergens like dust or outdoor allergens such as pollens. (4)
(B) Diseases that result from the body fighting itself (Autoimmune diseases)
The body produces antibodies to attack its normal, healthy tissues in autoimmune disorders. The exact reason is unknown(idiopathic). It is most likely a mix of an individual’s genetic makeup and anything in the environment that causes those genes to be activated. (4)
Examples of such disorders include:
- – Diabetes Arthritis type one: The immune system targets pancreatic insulin-producing cells. Insulin is a hormone that eliminates glucose from the bloodstream to be converted to energy. (4)
- – Rheumatoid arthritis: This kind of arthritis produces joint swelling and abnormalities. Some persons with rheumatoid arthritis have an auto-antibody known as rheumatoid factor, which is present in their blood. (4)
- – Lupus: This condition affects bodily tissues such as the lungs, kidneys, and skin. Autoantibodies of various sorts are discovered in the bloodstreams of persons with lupus. (4)
(C) Immune insufficiency
Some conditions either inherited (from birth) or acquired might cause the immune system to become incompetent in fighting off invading microorganisms.
Examples of such conditions can be further classified into primary (from birth) and secondary(acquired):
- – Primary Immunodeficiency: Severe Combined Immune Disorder, common variable immunodeficiency, and chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). Such children are always at risk for bacterial, viral, and fungal illnesses. (11)
- – Secondary immunodeficiency: These are caused by factors not present at birth but acquired as one grows up. (11)
- – Poor nutrition
- – Smoking
- – Alcohol
- – Diabetes
- – Steroids Use
- – Chemotherapy
- – Measles
- – Mononucleosis
- – HIV. (11)
How To Boost Your Immune Defense For Wellness
- – Adequate Sleep
Immunity and sleep are closely linked. An increased vulnerability to illness has been related to little or poor quality of sleep. A result of study on sleep duration that was published in 2015 revealed that those who get less than 6 hours of sleep have more probability of coming down with a cold compared to persons who get more than 6 or more hours of sleep every day. Thus, it is safe to conclude that persistent periods of insufficient sleep can weaken the immune defense. (4)
- – Smoking cessation
Smoking harms one’s immunity. Quitting smoking is an important step towards achieving good immunity. (6)
- – Consumption of whole plant food
Taking vegetables, legumes, and fruits that are high in minerals and antioxidants, giving you an advantage against dangerous microorganisms. The antioxidants in such foods help to reduce inflammation by neutralizing unstable chemicals known as free radicals, which can lead to inflammation when they accumulate in high quantities in your body. Antioxidant-containing fruit or supplements like oranges, and immunity elderberry are rich in Vitamin C which is an important antioxidant, which is and important immunity aid to bolster the function of the immune system. (5)
- – Cut added sugar consumption
Based to new studies, added sugars and processed carbohydrates may contribute significantly to overweight and obesity. Supporting evidence can be seen in the result of an observational study of roughly 1000 participants vaccinated with the flu vaccine. The results showed that those with obesity are 2 times more likely to contract the flu compared to persons without obesity. (5)
- – Moderate exercise
While excessive exercise might depress your immune system, moderate exercise can increase it. According to research, just a single session of light physical activity can improve the efficacy of vaccinations in adults with impaired immune systems. Regular exercise is an immunity aid that can help strengthen the immune system.
Moderate exercise can lessen inflammation and help regenerate immune cells. Brisk walking, jogging, running, swimming, and gentle trekking are all examples of moderate exercise. The average person should target getting 150 minutes every week of moderate exercise. (5)
- – Role of Supplements
- – Zinc
Zinc is required for immune cell growth and communication, as well as for the inflammatory response. Zinc also supports barrier protection of our bodies and aids in the prevention of external infections from entering. Numerous studies support the claim that zinc supplementation helps protect against respiratory infections such as common colds. (7)
A lack of this vitamin has a substantial impact on your immune system’s capacity to operate effectively, increasing your likelihood of contracting infections and illness, including pneumonia. (7)
- – Vitamin D
This is a lipid-soluble substance that is vital for immune system health and function. Vitamin D formula boosts the pathogen-fighting abilities of monocytes as well as macrophages, these immune cells play an essential role in immune defense — and reduce inflammation, which promotes immunological response. (7)
Many people are lacking in this vital vitamin, and its lack can impair their immune defense. Furthermore, low vitamin D levels have been linked to a higher chance of having an infection of the upper respiratory tract such as influenza and allergic asthma. Vitamin D supplementation may boost immunological response based on certain research findings. In fact, new evidence shows that consuming this vitamin may help prevent respiratory tract infections. (7)
Other research suggests that vitamin D supplementation may increase antiviral therapy response in persons with specific diseases, such as hepatitis C and HIV. (7)
- – Vitamin C supplement
Vitamin C or ascorbic acid is a water-soluble nutrient that has become the most widely recognized supplement used to fight against infection. (7)
This vitamin helps immune cells operate properly and increases their ability to fight illness, therefore boosting immune defense. It is also required for cellular death, helping in the maintenance of your immune system by cleaning away old cells and substituting them with new ones. (7)
Vitamin C also acts as a potent antioxidant, preventing damage caused by oxidative stress, which happens when reactive molecules called free radicals to accumulate. Oxidative stress has been related to a variety of illnesses and has a detrimental impact on immunological function. Vitamin C supplementation has been demonstrated to shorten the duration as well as the extent of upper respiratory tract infections, particularly the common cold. (7)
- – Elderberry
Elderberry is a fruit produced by the Sambucus tree. The most prevalent kind is Sambucus nigra. Elderberry, which has been utilized for years for treating illnesses, is being studied for its immune-boosting properties. (7)
A combination of other nutritional supplements and elderberry can be used to prepare immunity elderberry. Elderberry extract exhibits substantial antibacterial and antiviral properties in test-tube tests against pathogenic bacteria causing upper respiratory tract illnesses and influenza virus strains. It has also been demonstrated to improve the reaction of the immune system and may help lessen the length and intensity of colds, as well as symptoms associated with viral infections. (7,10)
A 2004 study found that persons with the flu who took one tablespoon of syrup made with elderberries 4 times daily saw symptom alleviation 4 days faster than those who didn’t and were less dependent on the medicine. Immunity elderberry supplements significantly improved symptoms of upper respiratory infection caused by viral infections according to the study. Though elderberry has been proposed to help reduce symptoms of some illnesses including the influenza virus, one must also be cautious of the hazards. (7)
- – Immunity Mushrooms
- A wide range of immunity mushroom species have been found to aid immune function in a number of ways. Shiitake, Lion’s Mane, Maitake, and Reishi are some therapeutic mushrooms. (12)
- – Immunity juice
- Extracts of multiple fruits can be used to prepare a nutrient-fortified immunity juice boost. Fruits can also be blended to make smoothies that provide natural nutrient supplementation. Immunity juice recipes are a combination of oranges + grapefruit + other citrus or a combination of carrots + apples + oranges. Many other fruits can be extracted or blended to make immunity juice shots. These blends are rich in vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, potassium, and folate (8,9). Immune defense-boosting preparations apart from immunity juice or smoothies are immunity soup, immunity essential oil, immunity herbal drinks, and immunity pills.
- – Immunity essential oil
- A number of essentials have been in use for boosting immunity. A good example of immunity essential oil is Eucalyptus oil. It possesses both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. (13)
- – Immune therapy center
The evolution of immune-based therapies to a more specialized immune therapy center is a testament to medical technology’s contributions to preventive and curative medicine.(13)
Maintaining a healthy immune system is essential for overall health and wellbeing. Immune health can be supported through a variety of means, including proper nutrition and the use of supplements like vitamin D3 and echinacea. An adequate intake of key vitamins and minerals is necessary for immune system function, with daily doses of 1000 mg of vitamin C and 1000-2000 IU of vitamin D3 recommended. Supplement facts should be carefully reviewed to ensure that the desired amount of nutrients are being consumed.
Echinacea is a popular herb that has been shown to support overall immune health and boost immune function. Amla or Indian Gooseberry is widely in India’s ancient Ayurvedic medicinal system for its high vitamin C content that helps boost body’s immune defense. It is important to remember that the immune system needs to be nurtured and protected on a daily basis to maintain optimal function. Ancient medicine system Ayurveda in India has extensively used ginger as a natural immunity boosting ingredient.
Organic turmeric also plays an important role to support a healthy immune system to fight against inflammation. A balanced diet with a powerful blend of natural and organic ingredients helps boost your natural defenses. By making conscious choices regarding diet and supplements, we can select to empower our immune defense to function at its best and support overall health. In addition, consult your healthcare professional and wellness consultants to learn about natural ways to boost your immune defense.

Its refusal to finance the construction of a 500 MW lignite-fired power plant in Kosovo and more specifically the one near the capital Pristina expressed the World Bank known.
The reaction was immediate, as the government of the country tried to secure guarantees to achieve better terms for the lending of the project.
“Our statutes require us to choose the lowest cost, Renewable Energy Production is now cheaper than lignite, no doubt we will not support it”, said World Bank President Jim Yong Kim.
With the door closed, because the World Bank has pointed out that lignite is damaging the environment and that lignite electricity can not be combined with Renewable Energy Sources (RES), Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj turned to Washington.
The response, according to published data, found in the United States seems to be particularly positive.
Kosovo supports lignite power generation, which has raised opposition from the environmental organisations, while making it harder for the country to comply with EU directives with regard to the energy sector.
The country has 14 billion tonnes of proven lignite reserves – it is the fifth largest deposit in the world – and the new plant was designed to help cover about half of domestic demand.
The question is whether the need to build this unit is unquestionable and what its cost of erection for the country and for the consumer will be…. / IBNA

His plays reflected the atrocities that prevailed in the society, the decayed hierarchical system and were socially enlightening. I learned to play cricket in Kolkata, but more than anything, I learned to read Badal Sircar and watch plays written by him for street theatre. He wrote more than fifty plays of which Ebong Indrajit, Basi Khabar, and Saari Raat are well known literary pieces, a pioneering figure in street theatre as well as in experimental and contemporary Bengali theatre with his egalitarian “Third Theatre”, he prolifically wrote scripts for his Aanganmanch courtyard stage performances, and remains one of the most translated Indian playwrights.

Greensboro mortgage banker expanding
Send this to a friend
Greensboro-based mortgage banker Cunningham & Co. is expanding its footprint with new offices in Chapel Hill and Chattanooga, Tenn., while also adding staff in several other offices.
The extra staffing is in the firm's retail branches in Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Jacksonville, Hendersonville, Fayetteville and Charlotte. Earlier this year, Cunningham & Co. also bought five retail branches through the acquisition of Carolina Mortgage Co.
Cunningham & Co. is the retail brand for CMC Funding Inc., and it now has 20 offices in North Carolina and Tennessee.
Rising interest rates have hurt mortgage activity lately, but President Hank Cunningham said the firm is uniquely positioned in the industry because its parent company's resources allow it to easily sell loans directly to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac while also issuing securities and maintaining loan servicing capability.
"Our company is expanding rapidly; however, it is vitally important to us that we maintain the stellar reputation which we have built over 23 years. Superior service and building long-lasting relationships are important components of how we do business at Cunningham & Company,” he said in a statement.

With 14 games in the books, most of the playoff teams have now been determined. Many of the previous top teams in their divisions have been passed by brash upstarts – including the Green Bay Packers. A changing of the guard has occurred this season in five out of the eight divisions.
The Minnesota Vikings, with a convincing 34-7 win over the Bengals, have clinched the division – they have a three-game lead over Detroit, and Green Bay is four games in arrears. For the Vikings, it will be only their second playoff appearance since 2012, but their second division championship in the past three years. They haven’t won a playoff game since 2009. The Vikings have fully earned their place at the top of the NFC North, having reeled off nine wins in their last 10 games. Their victims during this great stretch include the Packers, Rams, Lions, and Falcons. If the Packers are to regain their previous status going forward, they will have to surpass not only Minnesota but also Detroit – they’ve already lost to each once this year.
The upstart L.A. Rams traveled to Seattle on Sunday, a game ahead of the home team. They left with a 42-7 evisceration of that division’s customary top dog – and a two-game lead. This “statement” game wasn’t as close as the final score indicates – the Rams were ahead 34-0 at the half. Russell Wilson was sacked seven times. His passing yardage was only 142 – and his net yardage, after subtracting out the lost yardage on the sacks, was 71. The Rams, led by second-year QB Jared Goff are youthful, while the Seahawks are aging – especially on the defensive side.
The Dallas Cowboys were the darling of the sports pundits a year ago. Now they are 8-6, four games behind the Philadelphia Eagles – who were led until Sunday by that other acclaimed second-year quarterback, Carson Wentz. Even with backup QB Nick Foles (115.8 passer rating), the Eagles notched their 12th win – tops in the league – beating the Giants in New Jersey. Last year’s phenom, the Cowboys’ Dak Prescott, ranks only 16th in passer rating this season and running back Ezekiel Elliott is just about to return from his six-game suspension.
While the division title isn’t settled yet, the bully of the division going into the season was supposed to be the Atlanta Falcons, who made it to the Super Bowl a year ago. Instead, they sit in third place with eight wins (pending Monday night’s game against the Bucs). Meanwhile, the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers are deadlocked with 10-4 records. The Packers unfortunately played the four NFC South teams this year – emerging with but one win, the overtime cliffhanger against the Buccaneers.
In what is the weakest of the eight divisions in the NFL, a leader has emerged. The Jacksonville Jaguars have 10 wins, versus the Tennessee Titans’ eight, the Houston Texans’ four, and the Indianapolis Colts’ three. The Jaguars, who have been stockpiling top draft choices for the last half-dozen years, finally have gotten some solid, though unspectacular quarterbacking from Blake Bortles (89.7 rating). It’s a seismic shift in the division, as Jacksonville had not won more than five games the previous six seasons.
In the AFC West, the Chiefs, at 8-6, are still the class of the division, though they lead the L.A. Chargers by only one game. The Raiders who had been predicted by many to win the division, have a disappointing 6-8 record.
Likewise in the AFC North, perennial powerhouse Pittsburgh, at 11-3, is three games clear of the Ravens.
The Patriots are the biggest constant in the NFL – at 11-3 on the year, they are three games up on the Bills, and will be going to the playoffs for the ninth consecutive year.

In one of the more explosive Wikileaks Podesta emails released over the weekend, Democratic operatives appear to discussing methods to “over sample” certain population areas in order to provide more favorable polling results to their candidates.
This year, Donald Trump has brought up the politically taboo topics of a rigged polls, rigged politics and rigged elections, only to be promptly criticized for it by the media and even President Barack Obama himself. Over the past few days we have seen national polls show anywhere from Clinton +12, to Trump +2, and everything in between. Obviously with spreads that large throughout so many polls, at least some of the polling methodologies are likely to be skewed.
It seems Trump wasn’t too far off his mark in regards to “rigged polls”, as the latest Podesta emails from Wikileaks now show a discussion between Democratic operatives in 2008 regarding recommendations for oversampling of polls through one of their polling agencies.
The link to this email on Wikileaks can be found here.
The emails states, “I also want to get your Atlas folks to recommend over samples for our polling before we start in February. By market, regions, etc. I want to get this all compiled into one set of recommendations so we can maximize what we get out of our media polling.”
There is a even a handy attachment to this email that outlines precisely which oversampling methods to use in designated populations areas. For example, in Arizona the report suggest to:
– Over-sample Hispanics
– Use Spanish language interviewing. (Monolingual Spanish-speaking voters are among the lowest turnout Democratic targets)
– Over-sample the Native American population
When polling in Florida, the report suggests to “consistently monitor the sample to ensure it is not too old, and that it has enough African American and Hispanic voters to reflect the state.” Incidentally, those are exactly the voter groups that are more likely to vote Democrat in an election.
On a national scale, the report’s recommendations are more general, leaving it up to the polling agency to “ethnic over sample as needed“:
– General election benchmark, 800 sample, with potential over samples in key districts/regions
– Benchmark polling in targeted races, with ethnic over samples as needed
– Targeting tracking polls in key races, with ethnic over samples as needed
In other words, no matter what geographic location or state you are polling in, find an ethnic minority that favors Democrats and make sure to over sample them to provide higher polling numbers for your candidate than are realistic.
For a current example of exactly how this type of oversampling can create the bias polling results that a political party is after, just look at the recent ABC News national presidential poll showing Hillary Clinton in a commanding 12 point lead, yet over samples Democrats by 9%. That allows ABC to then issue such headlines as, “Clinton Vaults to Double Digit Lead” in an attempt to discourage Trump supporters.
So far, between the Wikileaks emails and James O’Keefe’s undercover videos, the Democratic party has been shown to engage in rigging politics (DNC collusion with media), rigging elections (DNC hiring organizations to send agitators to Trump rallies) and now rigging polls. Donald Trump doesn’t seem too far off his mark when he talks about a “rigged election” anymore.
President Barack Obama told Trump last week to “stop whining” in regards to the possibility of a rigged election. Well, it’s easy to make such statements when your party is the one that benefits from such underhanded election tactics, isn’t it?

The State of Disaster, set to enter its 22nd month in January, has come under fire after South Africa decided to end its curfew laws.
South Africa will endure State of Disaster regulations for the 22nd consecutive month, with government confirming the extension on Thursday.
The IRR isn’t happy with the State of Disaster extension confirmed this week, and they’re now demanding answers to some tough questions.
Dlamini-Zuma has spoken: The seemingly ‘eternal’ State of Disaster isn’t ending any time soon, after it was extended yet again this weekend.
Yet again, the State of Disaster laws have been extended – and prominent politicians are now growing impatient with Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma.
After weeks of speculation, Cyril Ramaphosa confirmed on Sunday night that government is looking at ways to implement a vaccine passport.
In the latest news in South Africa on Friday 10 September 2021, there are growing calls for the scrapping of SA’s state of disaster.
Alan Winde now wants South Africa to do something it hasn’t been able to do for the past 18 months, and scrap the COVID-19 State of Disaster laws.
South Africa’s National state of disaster will continue until at least October 2021, Cabinet confirmed on Thursday 2 September.
We’ve heard this one before, haven’t we? Yes, the National State of Disaster has been extended by Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma yet again.
Premier Sihle Zikalala has called for help from the national government, after he was forced to declare a new ‘State of Disaster’ in KZN.
The only thing worse than one State of Disaster, is a second State of Disaster. The impact of ‘drought’ in some provinces has forced the government’s hand.
Our State of Disaster laws will stay the same for the next five weeks at least – but it wasn’t Minister Dlamini-Zuma extending the restrictions on Thursday.
The State of Disaster will likely be extended again on 15 May 2021.
Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma has intervened on Thursday, to ensure South Africa’s State of Disaster laws remain in place for the foreseeable future.
We’ve reached a rather grim milestone: The State of Disaster laws have been extended once more in South Africa, as lockdown restrictions remain in place.
The laws of lockdown could soon face a reshuffle – if the DA’s ongoing court case against State of Disaster rules proves to be successful.
The government has officially extended the State of Disaster, with Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma signing off on the directive. Here’s what it means for SA.
The alcohol ban has been extended by Cyril Ramaphosa on Monday evening, after he addressed the nation about Level 3 of lockdown.
DA leader John Steenhuisen, in a scathing statement, has bashed Ramaphosa for extending the state of disaster amongst other things.
The DA says the declaration of a State of Disaster by Dlamini-Zuma will enable SANDF to be on standby to assist with the fires.
Without parliamentary oversight, Steenhuisen believes that the ANC is using the lockdown as a mechanism to run a ‘dictatorship’.
If you were hoping that Thursday was going to be the final day of lockdown and the State of Disaster in SA, we have bad news for you.
Another National State of Disaster extension has been approved by Cabinet. Here’s how long it will last once it’s been gazetted.
The State of Disaster laws have been extended. But critics are upset with the decision – and the fact it was signed off by Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma.
