Three mothers with so much in common, we could form a club. Each raised one son and one daughter, through adolescence into young adulthood. Each loves her children with all her heart. And, sadly, each of our brilliant, happy, sweet sons began to change in their mid-teens, and were eventually diagnosed with schizophrenia. We have each written about our experiences, shared our stories so they might help others.
But our stories have taken three very different turns. Today, one of these mothers mourns the death of her son, who passed away in "individual housing" earlier this year. Another of us sits stoically in a courtroom as her son is being tried for shooting moviegoers in Aurora, Colorado. And I, the lucky one, get to hug my son as he heads off to work, in his car, filled with gas that he paid for himself. For today, yes, I am the lucky one.
My heart goes out to the other mothers, even though I have never met them. I only know them through their writings, but I feel their struggles, their pain, their guilt, their love. Anyone who lives with mental illness in their family knows that we live life with crossed fingers, and we fight with all our might to make the right decisions.
And it is far from easy. Continue reading Sons with Schizophrenia: A Tale of Three Mothers

It seems that every time you turn around, there's something new in the trade war with China. Last Friday afternoon's announcement tops them all. So much for a quiet weekend.
Round 4 Tariff Established
Last week began with the long-awaited notice that an additional 10 percent import tariff will be imposed on those Chinese products that heretofore escaped the preceding rounds of Section 301 duties. This expanded coverage was proposed in May and follows a hearing and comment period. After explaining that tariffs on imports valued at $250 billion had failed to change China's position, the Trade Representative's office decided that hitting another $300 billion in trade should do the trick. Everyone loves an optimist, right?
The Round 4 tariff will take effect in two stages. Most goods will be covered on September 1, 2019, with a select group of mostly consumer products deferred until December 15. USTR also advised that "Certain tariff subheadings proposed in the May 17 notice have been removed from the final list of tariff subheadings subject to additional duties, based on health, safety, national security, and other factors." The agency has not provided a separate list of those excluded subheadings.
Later in the week, China unveiled its own retaliatory tariffs on $75 billion in imports from the United States. The rates will be 5 or 10 percent and have effective dates of September 1 and December 15, 2019, depending on the product.
Nothing Succeeds Like Excess
Soon after this Chinese response was announced, El Jefe raised the ante by Tweeting his decision to place an additional 5 percent tariff increase on all Chinese merchandise subject to Section 301's coverage. USTR duly followed up with this guidance:
For the 25% tariffs on approximately $250 billion worth of Chinese imports, USTR will begin the process of increasing the tariff rate to 30%, effective October 1 following a notice and comment period. For the 10% tariffs on approximately $300 billion worth of Chinese imports that the President announced earlier this month, the tariffs will now be 15%, effective on the already scheduled dates for tariff increases on these imports.
So brace yourselves, importers, things are about to get even bumpier. If you haven't already, it may be time to consider seeking exclusion of your Round 3-covered goods. The deadline is September 30. A similar process has been promised for Round 4.

All the Tea in China and Me, the Maniac With the Camera
All the tea in China? Ok, I know the five kinds here wouldn't even count for all the tea in New Jersey. But anyway, here's the booty I brought home:
the little round balls in the center of the photo are Jasmine dragon pearls, super perfumey and with a light delicious taste. The dark disk at 6:00, is Pu Er a black tea with a rich taste that tolerates a long brweing (5-7 minutes) without getting bitter, the other three teas, (at 9:00, 12:00 and 3:00 are something of a mystery to me. I wrote down the the shop clerk's pronunciation of the teas in Chnese and now don't know which name corresponds to which tea. Sorry! 9:00 and 3:00 are daisy-like flowers and 12:00 seems like an algae, it's soo green.
One of the things I really wanted to bring home from China was lots of tea but I did no research beforehand to find out what I should be looking for so my pantomime shopping experience was a little shaky. In Beijing, I heard the specialties are jasmine and chrysanthemum teas, so I made sure to get them. Tea shops often display transparent glass cups of tea with bloomed flowers inside. At first I was charmed but after seeing this time and again, I got the impression that the bloomed flower tea was a sort of tourist trap, all looks and no flavor.
Now, the tea I saw almost everybody drinking on the street looks just like this. Standard green tea leaves floating at the bottom of very large glasses or jars, made to be sipped all day long. Music to sip tea all day long by: "Pennyroyal Tea" by Nirvana. When I took this photo the tea owner looked at me as if I were an absolute moron and giggled to himself. What a spectacle I was! I'm sure he thought I was so strange to marvel at what to him was the most normal everyday habit. I did things like that all over town and ellicited laughs everywhere I went.

With some investors skeptical about the long-term viability of major currencies amidst the current economic malaise in the US and EU, holding physical precious metals has increasingly emerged as an attractive alternative for both growth-oriented investment and the preservation of wealth.
This trend has been embodied most noticeably with gold, which has skyrocketed from $859 per troy ounce in January 2009 to $1,650 per troy ounce in January of this year.
Metals watchers will also have noticed the meteoric rise in the price of some rare industrial metals and rare earth elements over the past year, begging the question of whether or not these metals can also be held physically by individual investors.
One answer appears to lie with Swiss Metal Assets S.A. (SMA).
SMA, a Swiss-German company headquartered in Panama, offers investors the opportunity to hold physical rare industrial metals and store them securely in Switzerland.
Speaking to Resource Investing News recently, Knut Andersen, Sales Director at SMA, explained that "rare industrial metals are valued based on supply and demand, and because demand is projected to continue to remain and even increase well beyond available supply for the foreseeable future, they make an excellent hedge against inflation and currency devaluation."
Buyers purchase "baskets" of three or six rare industrial metals through SMA, most of which have been listed in studies of critical metal scarcity carried out by the European Commission and US Department of Energy.
SMA has tracked the rise in value of the component metals in its "Key Industries" basket, which includes the metals indium, hafnium, gallium, tellurium, tantalum, and bismuth, and found that it has nearly doubled in value over the past two years.
Metals such as indium and gallium are certainly not household names, despite being key components of many of the high-tech products we use daily, but as Andersen noted, most of SMA's clients "have some limited knowledge of rare industrial metals, and many trade in currencies and are previous or current owners of precious metals and junior mining stocks."
The advantage for holding rare industrial metals over some of these other investment vehicles, he emphasized, is that they are relatively free of manipulation and speculation because they are not traded on an exchange.
"The value of the metals is directly related to supply and demand issues between the refineries, rare industrial metal traders, and the various manufacturing sectors they provide the metals to. Accordingly, the rare industrial metals are less volatile and hold their value more readily than speculative precious metals," he said.
Rare metals market fundamentals support steady growth in value
Moreover, Andersen is confident that even with the slew of mining projects under development in the wake of the explosion in price for most rare metals, the fundamentals of the rare industrial metals market support a steady growth in value in the years to come.
"With the current finite annual supply of rare industrial metals, the limited potential contribution of newly-planned operations, and the huge increase in demand from emerging nations for the products that contain these metals, we do not believe that supply will meet demand," Andersen said.
"At best, a few new projects may one day contribute some of the total yearly output of rare industrial and rare earth metals. But we believe it is very unlikely that either current or planned mining projects will meet the current and growing demand for these metals," he added.
Sourcing and ownership
SMA sources its metals from leading metals trader Haines & Maassen, and while Andersen notes that "it is conceivable in the years to come that some of the original rare industrial metals in our baskets may no longer be available as a retail product due to Chinese export restrictions," the company isn't currently experiencing any shortfalls in supplying rare industrial metals sourced from China to its clients.
Metals are typically received at a Swiss vault four weeks after being purchased, and if and when owners choose to sell, they can usually convert their holdings back into cash in as little as one week.

an 11'' MacBook Air!
But why didn't I? Well I decided to save my money because instead I finally took the plunge and booked my holiday to the US and the Caribbean! Woo! It's seriously coming up so soon and while the airfares weren't expensive, they certainly weren't cheap.
So besides organising everything else (my To Do list, my "must visit" list), I'm also thinking of my Holiday shopping wishlist. With the AUD being so great, it really makes it so tempting to buy up big while I'm away, but to be honest I can't think of anything I really really need. There are always things a girl will want, but I'm trying to be good with saving and only buy a one or two big things from my wishlist, and the rest will be workwear and practical clothing shopping (like from H&M, Zara) or anywhere that has big sales on at the time.
At the moment by two big wishlist items are the laptop above (which I may buy in the US if it will save me lots of money) and a gorgeous everyday ring.
I have my eye on the following which I'll probably never get (but a girl can dream, right?) but I think I'm going to wait till I get there and see what strikes me as being absolutely beautiful and unique. I'll hit up the vintage stores, but otherwise, any other suggestions?

I have all my DI views hidden...but that's just because my fishing style doesn't have much use for the DI fan beams...For a little better DI success, you can try the following...::*DI Width setting (under the Sonar tab) to "Narrow"...this tells the unit to only display returns "common" in both the left and right SI beams (the SI beam's overlap under the boat)...*DI Sensitivity higher to show weaker returns...*Upper Range setting to a selection that eliminates some of the upper water column...(this will, in effect zoom vertically the remaining echoes making them easier to see)...Rickie
Yes but Mako if you have the 597Di, like what is in your sig, you should be getting super crisp images because you have a dedicated DI piezo.
So SFW are you saying that these units have a larger scan area in the DI range, than the dedicated DI units, with the sacrifice of detail?Mako, thanks for clarifying. Lets see some DI images!!!Rickie, I know that you have done a lot of research on using DI transducers on the SI units. If I am correct, it will pop up on the Left SI channel and run from top to bottom? Also, I guess Humminbird has decided that it is not bad for the unit to use this transducer? Sorry the link you posted just takes me to the humminbird intro page.EDIT: So I found the FAQ that you were speaking of. But I still am wondering, does the DI show up on the DI view or the SI view?
Okay thanks Rickie. So to clarify, left SI is blank, right SI is a false image, and DI looks normal. And obviously since H-bird said this is okay to do, they are not concerned with burning out the left channel of the SI??? My guess would be that your testing (and Greg passing it on) has helped them to realize that this is even possible.
You guys can run a HB DI xducer on your SI unit ya know...http://www.humminbird.com/Category/Support/FAQ/DIxducerSIunit/And if you choose the XTM 9 WIDE DI 20 T (instead of the XNT 9 DI T)...even the 2d will work correctly....Rickie
I wonder how different the resolution on the 2d is between the transducers that you mentioned Rickie. I'd like to mount the ducer on my transom but the better one is a trolling motor mount....
I did not know I could do that. When I bought the 999 I just assumed that the DI was the same. From the brief reading I did on the subject last night there appears to be several ways to connect a DI transducer. Is there someplace I can see a diagram of these various options and a list of accessories required for each option? I see the SWITCH but expect there is more to it than that.
Rickie, I noticed that the XNT 9 DI T uses 200/455 for 2d sonar. I also noticed that the 800 and up DI units use this transducer. How would this work on the SI units that use 200/83khz? I just find it odd that the XTM 9 WIDE DI 20 T is only available in the TM mount. Also, why wouldnt they have made it 200/455 like the XNT 9 DI T? Maybe the WIDE stands for 83khz? I am also assuming that the DI units have the transducer option of 200/455 and 200/83. Sorry man Im confused.
Yea man that's a good idea. In my case, I actually already have the splitter run. I get better on plane readings with the 2d ducer. As long as the 2d works ok, I would be happy. I mean if all of the x58/x59 units use it, the images can't be that bad can they?On a side note, humminbird told me according to the FAQ section, that I can't use the DI ducer on my 798hdsi because it is not considered a high def unit since it doesn't use 800khz. It seems that even though it says it's ok on the FAQs, there is still some discrepancy with using it......
I can re-post some "DI" from SI images I put up on another site if so desired...

Project Description
Project Description:
Logo Design and Branding | Graffiti Frozen Yogurt
During my time at Azalea Graphics, I worked on the logo design and branding for Graffiti Frozen Yogurt. Brand new to the expanding "froyo," scene, they invited you to "Be the Artist," by designing your own marvelous concoction. From a multitude of smooth and creamy flavors, to toppings galore and homemade whipped cream, the possibilities were nearly endless.
For their branding, the overall feel the client wanted to achieve was a hip, custom, hand-drawn, "graffiti-like" (but not quite splattery/drippy) appearance, which they also brought into their interior décor. Inside, customers were encouraged to draw on the chalkboard-painted wall with the supplied colored chalk.
The client selected the final logo from several initial options. It combined an icon of a cup of frozen yogurt from one comp with the stylized text from another.
After I finalized the logo design, I continued developing the overall look/feel of the brand, via coupons, posters and other signage.
Services/Skills Provided

Just like homeopathy, detoxing is another of those absolute no-go demarcation lines between the sceptics and alternative therapies and therapists (referred to by sceptics as anything from quacks and charlatans to Voodoo merchants). Embraced by celebrities such as film actress Gwyneth Paltrow as an essential part of their health regimes, detox is equally derided by sceptics who say it's a quick way for charlatans to make easy money.
Although it's the buzzword du jour, the idea of detoxing goes back many hundreds, if not thousands, of years and is found in several ancient healing traditions. India's Ayurveda medicine describes cleansing and purification processes, while traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a host of procedures for jie du, or removing toxins. Detoxing is also at the heart of naturopathic medicine, which maintains that a 'toxic load' may be the basis of many diseases.
Its proponents say it's an effective way to cleanse the body of toxins that would otherwise affect health and even cause chronic diseases, like muscle and joint pain, headaches, depression, gut problems, heart disease and even cancer. And there's a myriad of products that claim to help you achieve that, including special detox smoothies and juices, vitamins, teas and tinctures.
In the opposing camp are doctors, dietitians and sceptics. Doctors give it short shrift—in medicine, detox refers to a way to get an addict clear of drugs or to reverse a case of acute poisoning—while sceptics claim it's an unnecessary process, as the body is fully capable of getting rid of toxins by itself. In fact, they say, if our body wasn't getting rid of toxins all the time, we'd be dead.
Toxic overload
That's true—up to a point. One study of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients, for example, discovered they had far higher concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) pesticides—which have now been banned—in their blood than did healthy people, which increased their risk of this cancer of the immune system.1 The US National Human Adipose Tissue Survey found 20 toxic compounds in 76 per cent of the fat samples being tested, while five compounds were discovered in every sample and at high levels.2 This suggests that the body can't always rid itself of toxic agents.
Then there's the 'smoking gun' evidence: the correlation between children and adults exposed to chemicals and pesticides and the presence of chronic health problems. For example, sheep farmers exposed to organophosphate-based pesticides are far more likely to have psychiatric disorders and even to commit suicide.
In one study of 146 farmers exposed to pesticides just three times a year, when they ran their sheep through sheep dip, most were suffering from psychiatric disorders compared with a similar number of quarry workers, who don't work with pesticides and toxic pollutants.3
While the liver and kidneys can cope with many toxins in our food and environment, there is the danger of accumulation and overload, which can especially be a problem in people who have a particular sensitivity or have an occupation—such as farm work, hairdressing and dentistry—where they have daily exposures.
How long to detox?
There's no one answer to this question, as it depends on the problem you're dealing with. Detoxing programmes can last for anything from two days—probably a fast with only vegetable and fruit juices or shakes being consumed—to a 10-day programme in which all processed foods are stopped and
the focus is on fresh vegetables and fruits, and detoxing proteins like fish and eggs.
An elimination diet—where all known allergens are removed from the diet—traditionally lasts for four weeks, but if you want to overcome a chronic health problem, a 16-week programme may be needed, according
to WDDTY panellist Dr Sarah Myhill.
Detox's two phases
In fact, there are several factors that determine whether or not you can naturally rid your body of toxins, according to nutritional medicine. Biochemist Dr DeAnn Liska says the immune system's natural detoxification process can be compromised by age, genetics, lifestyle and the buildup of toxins from diet or occupation, and by habits like smoking and excessive drinking.
In healthy people, natural detox has two phases: in the first, enzymes known as cytochrome P450 reduce, or oxidize, toxins; and in the second, toxins are transformed into water-soluble compounds that can be excreted through urine or bile. "Detoxification is not one reaction, but rather a process that involves multiple reactions and multiple players," she says.4
But if the body can't eject toxins naturally, is there some kind of detox exercise or process that does the job instead? Sceptics argue that there's no evidence to suggest that detoxing works, but while it's thin on the ground, there is indeed some evidence—and this is more a reflection of the nature of medical trials than the effectiveness (or not) of detoxing. Most trials are sponsored by drug companies, and it's hard to find funders for studies where there's no obvious financial benefit.
Toxic proof
Several clinical trials have shown that commercial detox products enhance liver detoxification processes, and others have eliminated organic pollutants from the body; however, no randomized controlled trials—the 'gold standard' for scientific studies—have been carried out, say researchers in Sydney, Australia.5
One case study from North Carolina reported that a patient who had been exposed to malathion, an organophosphate insecticide, suffered from a range of debilitating symptoms—including severe vomiting, headaches, night sweats, joint pain and shortness of breath—but was helped by following a detoxing food plan.6
However, after one of the few available clinical studies demonstrating that detoxification works, the message was discredited because of who the messenger was—at least in the eyes of sceptics. The Church of Scientology—an organization founded by L. Ron Hubbard that counts Hollywood film star Tom Cruise among its supporters—carried out its own detox programme on rescue workers who had helped after the Twin Towers in New York City were attacked in 2001, using its Narconon International Drug Rehabilitation Program, based on high-dose niacin, but which also includes other vitamins, minerals and polyunsaturated oil, plus physical exercise and sweating induced by sauna.
But other evidence comes from a study by Jonathan Prousky, a professor at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto, who reported that "niacin, as a component of the Hubbard regimen, does augment detoxification by lowering the body burden of lipid-stored xenobiotics".7
There have also been numerous case reports, studies and non-randomized controlled trials (where people are deliberately selected to undergo treatment) that demonstrate that even a detox regimen for drug abusers and people suffering from other chemical exposures can remove toxins and also reduce other health problems, including neurophysiological and psychological disorders.8
Detoxing, or detoxicology, is still in its infancy as a therapy, and most of the evidence is anecdotal or derived from case studies. But, says Marc Cohen, a professor of complementary medicine at RMIT University in Victoria, Australia, a lack of scientific evidence doesn't necessarily mean a lack of effect or effectiveness.9
Your detox foods
Is your usual diet hampering your body's natural capacity to detox and rid itself of toxic intruders? Sugars, processed foods—including cakes, biscuits and white breads—excessive alcohol, and colas and sodas all affect the body's detoxification pathways. A typical Western diet of 'bad' carbohydrates packed full of sugars is especially harmful.
The foods that can help kick-start the body's detox processes include proteins from chicken, fish and eggs, as well as vegetables and fruits, beans and lentils, avocados, raw nuts and seeds, and olive oil. Try gluten-free grains like brown rice, millet and quinoa. In addition, drink 1.5 litres of water or herbal tea every day.
You should also be supplementing with B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pyridoxine and choline), along with vitamins C and E, magnesium and selenium.
What's your poison?
Sense About Science, a pharmaceutically funded lobbying group, produced a report—The Detox Dossier—in 2009, in which it investigates 15 commercially available detox products. The involved manufacturers weren't even able to identify which toxins the body needed to get rid of, the group claimed, whereas scientists would perhaps have less difficulty identifying them and the role they can play in causing disease.
These toxins include:
Pesticides, which remain on some vegetables and fruit even after washing. These have been associated with diseases ranging from cancer to birth defects.
Sodium nitrate, a preservative used in processed meats and linked to a range of cancers.
BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene), food preservatives listed as carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which are suspected of disrupting hormones and male fertility.
Recombinant bovine growth hormones (rBGH/rBST), given to cows in the US to increase their milk production. They raise levels of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 in dairy products; IGF-1 has been associated with breast, prostate and colon cancers.
Sodium/potassium aluminium sulphate, used in processed cheeses and baked goods, and suspected of having adverse effects on our reproductive and nervous systems.
Bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical used to harden plastics that's now been banned in baby products and toys. It can cause breast and prostate cancers, and disrupt the reproductive system.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are carcinogens created when fat is scorched, especially on barbecue grills.
Heterocyclic amines, carcinogens created when fish and meat are cooked at very high temperatures—again, especially on barbecues.
Acrylamide, yet another carcinogen, this time in potatoes and grains that are cooked, baked or fried at high temperatures.
Brominated vegetable oil (a complex mix of triglycerides), used in fruit-flavoured drinks and sodas. It can lead to reproductive and behavioural problems.
Artificial food colourants and dyes, which are linked to neurological disorders like ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder).
Dioxins, pollutants found in fatty foods. They can lead to cancer, liver damage and birth defects.
There are many other pollutants of concern. At least 100,000 man-made chemicals are used around the world every year—on farms, in industrial processes, in parks and recreational spaces, and in home products like non-stick frying pans, fire-resistant sofas and tin cans. Even pesticides that have supposedly been banned are still being used in some countries and are being imported.
In the shops
There are many products that claim to help you detox. Shona Wilkinson, head nutritionist at NutriCentre, outlines the ones she rates highly.
Daily Fibre Plus by Pukka Herbs is a gentle way to help bowel cleansing. This powder blend of soluble and insoluble fibre from psyllium husk, flaxseed, inulin and slippery elm is mixed with aloe vera to stimulate the bowel.
Psyllium Intensive by BioCare is another powder that aids bowel cleansing. It's designed as a 10-day programme based on psyllium and fructooligosaccharides, a type of fibre that serves as a prebiotic.
Hepa'Phyt by Diet Horizon is a new liver-cleanse product based on milk thistle and two herbs, Fumitory and Desmodium, combined with green tea, and lime and rosemary extracts.
BotaniCleanse by Nature's Plus is a whole-body cleanse in a tablet that combines more than 20 herbs, including milk thistle and dandelion. An alternative is the 9 Day Detox Pack by Patrick Holford, a four-in-one supplement that includes a liver-support formula, enzymes to help break down food and a probiotic.
Clean Greens Powder by Pukka Herbs contains 12 green foods, including nettle leaf, kale and wheatgrass, as natural green foods are a more gentle approach to a whole-body cleanse. An alternative is Green Purity Super Blend by Terra Nova, a freeze-dried powder comprising 11 detox-supporting foods, including kale, burdock, parsley, nettle and coriander.
Pre-Diet Cleanse Kit by Nature's Plus is a three-day detox programme based on vitamins, minerals, concentrated whole foods and herbs, and is important for supporting any gut cleanse.
Detoxing: What works?
Diet. The elimination diet is a good place to start. It removes all foods known to cause allergies or toxic overload—such as wheat, dairy, sugary and processed foods, refined carbohydrates like white bread, cakes and biscuits, and coffee, non-herbal teas and alcohol—for around four weeks.
Exercise. Intense exercise seems to fast-track the detox process. To assess how much exercise can boost detoxification, researchers gave 335 subjects measured doses of caffeine and traced its degradation in the body by monitoring levels of caffeine metabolites (breakdown products of caffeine in the body) in urine. After 30 days of aerobic exercise, the rate of caffeine degradation had increased substantially in all participants.1
In another study, a single session of aerobic exercise on a stationary bicycle doubled levels of detoxification enzymes in 11 healthy volunteers.2
In an investigation of firemen exposed to toxic polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and put through a two- to three-week detox programme—involving dietary changes, daily saunas and 30–60 minutes of exercise twice a week—all of them showed an improvement by the end of the study period. The results suggest that such a regimen is a useful part of an effective detox programme.3
Supplements. Dr Sarah Myhill, a member of WDDTY editorial team, recommends taking magnesium (400 mg/day), zinc (25 mg/day) and selenium (200 mcg/day)to help the body's natural detox processes, while glutathione (250 mg/day) is another essential supplement.
She also recommends taking 1 mg of B12 (methylcobalamin), 800 mcg of folate, 50 mg of B6 (pyridoxal-5-phosphate) and 100 mg of phosphatidylserine twice a day. The treatment duration depends on the severity of the toxicity, but she has found that, on average, it takes 16 weeks.
Heat. Sweating it out is another effective way to aid the detox process. Saunas can help to reduce high blood pressure, and improve blood flow and heart functioning, in short, 15-minute sessions, whereas toxic chemicals and heavy metals can only be safely shed during longer sauna sessions, say researchers.4
Yoga. An Indian practice known as Shankhaprakshalana (deep colon cleanse), which uses lukewarm salt water together with five yoga postures, is a proven way to cleanse the bowel.
In one study of 54 people preparing for colonoscopy screening, those who practised Shankhaprakshalana—they drank 480 mL of lukewarm saline, made by adding 9 g of sodium chloride to a litre of lukewarm water, while doing the postures—had better colonoscopy results than those who used a standard colonic preparation (polyethylene glycol 3350, sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate and potassium chloride).5

Meaning of Mexican Flag
About the Meaning of Mexican Flag
The Mexican flag is the rectangle divided into three identical (vertical) stripes that are colored in the following order, from left to right: green, white and red. The Mexican National Coat of Arms is placed in the center of the white stripe.
Meaning of the colors has changed over time due to the very dynamic and turbulent Mexican History.
Mexico become an independent country in 1821 which is the same time when the first Mexican Empire was established as well as the first (official) Mexican flag and the national colors of green, white and red.
At that time the Mexican flag colors represented: GreenIndependence, WhiteReligion and RedUnion.
In 1823 the Mexican republic was established and the Flag of the Mexican Republic was designed and adopted. This is also when the meaning of the Mexican flag colors changed: GreenHope, WhitePurity and RedReligion.
On June 19th 1867, after the abolishment of the Second Mexican Empire and the reestablishment of the Mexican Republic, the Flag of the Mexican Republic was readopted and the meaning of the colors changed once more: GreenHope, WhiteUnion and RedBlood of Heroes.
The Mexican Coat of Arms
The main features of the Mexican Coat of Arms are the Aztec eagle (standing in side-facing position and holding a curved serpent in its beak and the right talon), cactus (on which the eagle is standing on), lake and the rock (on which the cactus is situated on) and the branch of oak and the laurel branches.
The inspiration for the Mexican Coat Of Arms was an ancient Aztec legend. In short, Aztecs gods told the Aztec to build a city in the spot where they see an eagle and serpent. The Aztecs honored their gods whish and build the city which is present Mexico City, the capital of Mexico.

Mules & Clogs!
Though they might appear as not the most elegant choice of shoes, mules and clogs are so much associated with the warm months of Spring.

In the market you can find all different styles and shapes of mules and clogs from easy-to-wear slides to sexy high heels that you can pair with your skirts, floral dresses or trousers.
And if you are interested in some historical facts and trivia mule, is a French word, referring to a style of shoe that is backless and often closed-toed.

Starting today, I won't be putting numbers on my title anymore. It's just really hard to keep track once January ends. R says it's a sign that I'm getting old. Blah.
We used to have picnics here almost every week when Y was still very young. Sadly, Y says she doesn't remember them anymore. R and I talked about scanning all our old photos to jog her memory. I hope it works.
For years, I've been meaning to have our negatives scanned but have never gotten around to actually doing it. That's the only thing I don't like about film. With digital, it's so easy to whip out memories from your hard drive.
So, what's in the basket? Books, baby wipes, water, a hand sanitizer, potato chips, chocolates, and my scarf. I can live on those every day.
Note: I was way down on all fours when I shot this, and had a hard time getting up afterwards. I think that's motivation enough to lose weight…. or not. 😀
3 Responses to "Simple"
cough… baby wipes? IS there something you haven't told us? 😛
Great focus, the D700 fits you well.
I find that your photos have a film look, which has a very vintage look and I love it.

It's time to put the TWIST in your basic black liner routine! What is this Helix Eyeliner trend and how do you even do it?
It's a TWIST to the basic black eyeliner, and it's been trending in the world of Instagram. One Instagram user, in particular, @glowawaymeg, has really inspired a lot of other Instagram makeup lovers to try the trend and create their own helix eyeliner looks.
The entire idea of the makeup look is interesting, in the aspect that it creates an illusion that the makeup is three-dimensional. Many of them even look as though a tiny strand of DNA is hanging on the edge of winged eyeliner.
People all over Instagram have designed not only rainbow themed helixes, but also some holiday-themed creations. Helix Eyeliner really allows makeup enthusiasts and artists all over the world a chance to spice up their normal eye makeup.
You don't have to be a world-renowned makeup artist, to try out this trend! It's said to be easier than winged liner...and we all know how difficult that is.
Follow our step-by-step process and check out the YouTube tutorial below!
If you want to try the trend, you will need any colored eyeliner products: gel/cream liners, colored eye pencils, colored liquid liners, water-activated paints, or cream paints. But just make sure that you have a solid black liner as the base, to start the process of the helix.
According to these Instagram makeup geniuses, the brands that carry the best color quality, include:
NYX, Colourpop, MakeupGeek,KatVonD, Tarte, Urban Decay and Jeffree Star.
The best style of liners you can use are ones that have a thinner tip, in order to create the sharp detail of the helix.
Also using a variety of colors, to give and ombre effect, is a fun way to make the liner pop a bit more.
Step 1: Prime the eyelids with any primer you have on hand. Create a long black, winged liner on the lids. Then choose any colored liner product that you prefer, that will be creating the Helix.
Step 2: Start the first color at the corner of your eye, connecting it to the outer edge.
Step 3: Bring the color up and away from the eye, so that it is more diagonal.
Step 4: Draw the S-shape 'squiggle' liner over the black eyeliner
Step 5: Taper out the edge of the last 'squiggle' and the color part is complete.
Step 6: To finish the helix, go back to the black liner (you used in the beginning) and go over the liner for every other time that the 'squiggle' crossed over the original black liner. This gives the illusion that the 'squiggle' is wrapping around the black winged liner.
To complete the look, apply mascara or false lashes if you desire. (The false lashes are highly recommended)!
Helix Eyeliner makes any normal eye makeup become more vibrant and distinctive; So what better place to wear this trend, than summer festivals, concerts, or parties.
The fact that you can get incredibly creative with the colors and design, makes this look stand out and bring the attention, directly to the eyes. But if you're feeling like the helix trend is a little 'extra,' you can always tone it down with a darker color and save the brighter colors for another season. It would definitely be a conversation starter at any event!
But to be honest, most beauty lovers/makeup addicts won't care where they wear this look to...because this makeup is AWESOME!
This makeup look adds a unique touch to the average winged liner, but do you think that the helix eyeliner trend will stick around for awhile? Maybe it will become just another Instagram fad...
But we can only hope that more people will be rockin' the trend all summer and possibly through the holidays...Only because the candy cane helix by @makeupbykara_ is so freakin' cool!

''Within'' Vase
This piece is a coil constructed double skinned vase with both surfaces carved. The main glaze is copper red.
FIRING PROCESS: All my stoneware work is bisque fired in a electric kiln to 960 degrees. Once fired the work is sanded and washed. Glaze is then applied and re-fired to 1260 degrees depending on the glaze applied. As the work is stoneware it is all weather resistant* and if applicable suitable for the oven.
Commissions and special orders are always welcome but please allow at least 8 weeks production for stoneware work (most pieces).
*Although work is high fired and weather resistant I suggest that pieces are not left out in extreme bad weather as freezing water and soil will expand and could break the piece.

Meas Muth, an ex-navy commander, sent captives to a torture centre. (Photo: voacambodia.com)
A Cambodian UN-backed tribunal formally charged another two former Khmer Rouge cadres with crimes against humanity on March 3.
Meas Muth and Im Chaem, both in their seventies, were charged in absentia by international co-investigating Judge Mark Hampton over their involvement with the regime that led to the deaths of almost two million Cambodians in the 1970s.
The court has alleged that Meas Muth, an ex-navy commander, sent captives to a torture centre whilst Im Cheam, a female former district official, ran a forced labour camp.
The two have been accused of crimes against humanity and homicide.
Decisions on whether these cases will end up with indictments or dismissals are expected next year, according to court spokesman Lars Olsen.
Since the tribunal was established in 2006, it sentenced Kaing Guek Eav, former chief at Tuol Sleng prison, to life imprisonment in 2010.
Most recently, in August 2014, Nuon Chea, 88, and Khieu Samphan, 83, received life sentences for crimes against humanity. The pair have since appealed the verdict. Currently, they are undergoing a second trial focusing on the killing of ethnic Vietnamese and Muslim minorities, forced marriage, and rape.-VNA

The answer is YES but….
Only with a therapist who has specifically been trained in pregnancy massage.
Hotel spas and beauty salons in particular tend to have therapists who just do a regular massage on a pregnant woman.
Some even use those god awful pregnancy beds with the hole cut out for the bump.
The first rule of pregnancy massage is that it must be done in a side-lying position.
This is more not only more comfortable for the client but will prevent any strain put on the ligaments that attach the womb to the low back. Those beds with the holes cut out will stretch those ligaments and could even shift the uterus out of position – a malpositioned uterus could cause problems with the birth and after the birth could make periods more painful and cause low back ache. It could also make it more difficult for the woman to conceive again.
Some therapists will also have the woman lying on her back to massage the front of her body. This is also a big no, no.
She must remain semi reclined or fully upright depending on the size of her bump. Lying on the back puts pressure on the inferior vena cava (a major vessel for blood to return to the heart)
Deep tissue massage in pregnancy? No, sorry.
If you're used to going for a good sports massage, then be warned you will not get the same type of pressure in a pregnancy massage.
The strokes should be flowing and relaxing. This still provides great benefit for mother and baby, helping blood flow, swelling, hip and back pain – you don't always need to go deep to get results.
The reason we don't do deep pressure in pregnancy massage is because a woman's blood volume doubles during pregnancy and deep pressure could increase the risk of blood clots and elevating her blood pressure.
Bone density loss is also common in the later stages of pregnancy, so care should always be taken not to hurt or injure the woman.
So to recap….
Why not to lie face down in the 2nd and 3rd trimester?
As the uterus and baby expand during this time, lying face down creates added stress on the body. It may contribute to:
- Strain and pressure on ligaments
- Increase in lumbar lordosis (as your centre of gravity shifts forward) creating musculoskeletal issues of the lower lumbar region, gluteals and legs.
- Due to the hormone relaxin, joint laxity is increased
- Direct compression to the lumbar region can increase intrauterine pressure
- Breast discomfort and sinus congestion
Why not to lie on your back in the 2nd and 3rd trimester?
- A syndrome known as supine hypotensive syndrome may present whereby the uterus presses on the inferior vena cava (a major vessel for blood to return to the heart). By compressing this vessel for prolonged periods of time results in low maternal blood pressure and decreased circulation to both mother and baby. Therefore, a mother may feel dizzy, shortness of breath or other discomforts.
- It increases pressure on the lower back and sacrum.
Benefits of Side Lying during pregnancy
- It is comfortable
- It supports labour and women also breastfeed their baby in this way.
- Lying on your left side reduces pressure on the inferior vena cava
- No pressure on the lower back
At Devata Holistic Centre all our therapists are trained in Pregnancy Massage & Reflexology.
If you do plan to go to a hotel spa for a pamper session, then please phone ahead and ask the spa if any of their therapists are certified pregnancy massage therapists.
If you do arrive and they ask you to get on a maternity massage bed, or have you lying flat on your back, you will know how to correct them after reading this article.
Safety is paramount during your pregnancy so don't be afraid to speak up!

Roof and Gutter Cleaning: Practical Maintenance Solutions versus Re-Roofing and GutteringDecember 1, 2017
As roofs age, it is not uncommon to discover rot developing on the insulation, wood rafters, and plywood on the ceiling. This happens because moisture has entered under the roof. If moisture is allowed to accumulate unchecked, rot is sure to follow. That is why roof inspections are as important as you can stop rot before it develops and ruins your roof.
Re-roofing is often necessary for old, rotting roofs. Thankfully, you can avoid this fate for your roof with regular roof and gutter cleaning.
Avoid Re-Roofing with Roof and Gutter Cleaning
Roofs and gutters that are not cleaned regularly or as needed will result in the accumulation of debris that will cause a clog. A clogged gutter and downpipe will cause rain water to backup and flow down the walls of a building and can potentially enter the roof. Homes near trees are especially at risk and will need gutter and roof cleaning more often, as leafs and twigs from trees are notorious for clogging gutters and downspouts.
Basically, over time, as debris is brought in from the wind, trees, and wildlife such as birds, it accumulates on a roof. When heavy rain comes, debris on the roof gets washed toward the gutters and downspout and restricts the flow of draining water. When water cannot drain properly it can pool up on the roof and water can leak, causing water damage to the roof, walls, ceiling, and makes it possible for rot to develop.
The best way to avoid rot from ruining your roof is to keep your gutter and roof free of debris. Although, it is never advised to climb onto your roof in an attempt to remove debris or to clean the gutter, even if you have some experience, for a number of reasons, mainly safety.
Prevent Your Gutter From Clogging With Apex Vacuum and Gutter Cleaning
It is serious business climbing onto one's roof, even with a proper ladder, it is not only dangerous because of the risk of falling, but you could also unintentionally cause damage to your roof by walking on it. The best advice is to hire professional roof and gutter cleaners, they have the proper equipment and tools to access and clean your roof and gutters safely.
Here at Apex Vacuum and Gutter Cleaning, we are a licensed and insured company with the experience, proper tools, equipment, and safety training to conduct cleaning and maintenance of your roof and gutter. If you want to avoid reroofing your home because of rot damage caused by leaks from a clogged gutter, we can help.

Opulent Winter Garden Inspiration at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel
This stunning styled shoot at the storied Fairmont Olympic Hotel is positively fit for royalty. It proves that a winter wedding, when fitted with all the right details and the perfect venue, can be bursting with as much life as a mid-summer soiree. Lush florals, lots of texture and metallic touches make this grand display feel uniquely intimate. We've poured through these photos over and over and there's a few details that continually draw us in. The first being the impeccably dressed couple. That bridal gown is simply beyond words. Can you imagine walking down the aisle in that work of art!? Second, the stationery. Calligraphy is graciously incorporated, echoing the evening's classic theme at every turn (we have a hunch we'll be seeing a lot more lettering in 2016!). And finally, the dessert display, which rather than hiding in a corner, takes center stage with the "snow-dusted" cake as the focal point. Honestly, we could go on and on, but with inspiration like this, we're doubting you've even read this far into our gushing (*our apologies*).
From B. Jones Photography:
"A garden party is typically not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of a winter wedding, especially when the temperatures decline and the evenings arrive earlier and earlier each day, but when you have grand windows bringing light into an ever-green garden anything is possible.
With the Fairmont Olympic's classic architecture providing the perfect backdrop, Becca of B.Jones Photography and Rachel of Manette Gracie Events created an atmosphere of grandeur to compliment not only the space, but the bride's opulent floral Ysa Makino ballgown, bringing out the shimmer and shine of the embellishment to the tables with sequins and luster, candle light and gold. The dessert bar itself glowing with monogrammed cookies to satisfy the most discerning sweet tooth, and a cake that glitters like freshly fallen snow.
The pinnacle of the evening coming when the groom, rivaling any star of the silver screen in his classic tux, adoringly twirls his bride around the dance floor while the flickering candles invite guests to grab a throw, cozy up with their sweetheart and embrace the couple's philosophy: 'I've got my love to keep me warm'."

"Support Don Turner for Lt. Governor"
Many Vermonters are struggling to get by - affordable housing, high college tuition and child
care costs, and historically high taxes and fees have strained Vermont family budgets. And even
though we've experienced an uptick in the economy nationally—and in parts of our state—there
are many who haven't experienced this resurgent prosperity firsthand. We need real economic
growth in all four corners of our state, especially the Northeast Kingdom.
During my time in the Legislature, I've had the pleasure of working with Representative Don
Turner on a number of issues. Don understands the need for a strong economy, and that we
require common-sense spending coupled with real tax relief to achieve it. Throughout his entire
career, Don has been focused on fighting for the economic growth and common-sense policies
to achieve a stronger economy. In many cases, he's been the lead voice for fiscal and economic
sanity under the Golden Dome. Now, Don wants to take his efforts to the Lieutenant Governor's
We need a renewed focus on our economy in the Legislature. I hope all Vermonters will join me
in voting for Don Turner for Lt. Governor.
Representative Scott Beck
(R-St. Johnsbury)

How to create project under folder through API
Can you please let me know how to create project under Folder on wrike through API. As on your documentation there's a tab with folders and projects but under this there's no API call for project creation.
I'm looking here to get API call for project creation
2 comments
Spot On! 👍 Innovative Approach 💡 Stellar Advice 💪
Actually I want to create project in existing folder. like by using Folder ID and also want to pass custom fields data for project custom fields.
Secondly I want to get all projects list which are under any specific Folder.
Spot On! 👍 Innovative Approach 💡 Stellar Advice 💪
Hi Fahad Muneer! Projects and folders are treated the same way in the API, the only difference is that projects have extra information in regards to Project Owners, and Start/End dates. If you use "project" instead of "folder", you should get the results you're looking for.
Hope this helps! If you have any other questions, be sure to let me know 😊

Many mothers struggle to make the decision about whether they should return to the workforce, and if so, what childcare arrangements to make. If you have parents (ie doting grandparents) to care for your child, that's great! But many of us don't have that option because (1) our parents are not yet retired, (2) they stay too far away, or (3) they really aren't that keen to become full-time babysitters.
The good thing is that there are many well-established childcare centres of good reputation in Singapore. Some work places even offer childcare arrangements. For example, the staff at Tan Tock Seng Hospital have the option to bring their kids to work with them, and enroll them at the in-house childcare facility for the day while they go about their work.
As the first day of childcare draws near, you may find yourself wrestling with a mix of guilt ("Is this the best for my child?") and anxiety ("Will he be ok? Does he know I love him?"). You wonder how he will react on that day.
You've probably heard more than enough of your fair share of horror stories of children who throw hysterical tearful fits when their parents try to leave them at childcare. At the other end of the spectrum are the children who walk into the room without even a backwards glance at their parents, and peacefully settle into the new routine almost effortlessly.
Prepare your child for this next phase of life in advance, to minimize uncertainty and shock and increase your chances of a smooth transition for both him and you. Of course, a lot also depends on your child's personality and how quickly he or she adapts to new environments and people. Here are a few suggestions for easing the process.
Visit the centre
Bring your child along when you are checking out possible options, so she can get a feel of these places, and even help make the choice based on her affinity to each one. Bear in mind that your attitude will go a long way in how well your child adapts to the chosen childcare centre.
Introduce helpful routines
At home, help your child to become comfortable with structure but creating some routines of your own at home. For example, schedule in half an hour of reading time right after lunch or just before bed. Most childcare centres run on fixed routines of sleep times, free play times, activity times, meal/snack times and potty breaks, so introducing your child to similar routines at home will enable him to adapt more quickly.
Make time to go away
It would be wise to leave your child with trusted friends or relatives for incrementally longer periods of time, so he has a taste of what it's like to be separated from you, and learn to adapt. This will help to minimize any separation anxiety he and you will feel on that first day of childcare.
Talk about it
Make time to talk about childcare with your child. Be encouraging and emphasize on how fun it's going to be, but also help him grasp the reality that you won't be there with him. Check your attitude. Think positively about all the new experiences that your child is going to have in childcare, and celebrate that he has entered a new and exciting phase of life. And know that your child knows how much you love and care for him, and – at least for now – home is where his heart is.
Use books to paint a picture
Read books about school or childcare – some titles you can consider are "See you later, Alligator" by Laura McGee Kvasnosky, "Puddle's Big Step" by Amber Stewart and "Max and Millie Start School" by Felicity Brooks.
By Dorothea Chow

Maruti Suzuki first launched the Vitara Brezza compact SUV in 2016 and since then it has been the most desirable product in its segment. To give the competition to the model, Tata Motors came with an entrant, Nexon. With its advances on the product, Tata launched the automatic version of the Nexon, which is available in both petrol and diesel options and Maruti Suzuki is always ready with its wild card introducing the automatic version of the model and is offered in diesel option only.
Exterior and Dimension
The Vitara Brezza gets some subtle changes to its exterior such as a front chrome grille, back door chrome garnish and new glossy black finished alloy wheels. Looking at both the models, the Brezza gives a greater feeling of being an SUV, however, it's the Nexon that offers a good clearance of 209mm, which best in its segment. Nexon is just 1mm shorter than the Brezza, but doesn't make any difference. However, Nexon is wider with 1811 mm than its counterpart that has a width of 1640mm.
|Maruti Vitara Brezza AMT

|1607 mm
|2500 mm
|2498 mm
|Kerb Weight
|1195 kg
|1305 kg
|Ground Clearance
|198 mm
|209 mm
Nexon's 1.5-litre diesel engine makes 108bhp at 3,750rpm and 260Nm of torque at 1,500-2,750rpm and Brezza's 1.3 on the other hand, produces 89bhp at 4,000rpm and 200Nm at 1,750rpm. Now this clearly sounds that the Nexon is high on power output figures and, especially, when talking of the torque value. Both the models are offered with AMT, where Maruti call it Auto Gear Shift (AGS), which is a 5-speed automated-manual transmission. Tata Motors has named its 6-speed AMT as a 'Hyprdrive Self-Shift Gears (S-SG)', giving an edge for better flexibility. The Hyprdrive also offers three different Drive - Eco, City and Sport. The mileage of both the model goes neck in neck, Maruti Vitara Brezza returns a mileage of 24.29 kmpl, Nexon is close enough with 23.97 kmpl.

Cabin and Features
Maruti Vitara Brezza's interiors have been refreshed with an all-black colour scheme and complementing accents. In both models, the rear-seat passengers are well catered but there are some clear differences too. While the rear section of the Brezza's cabin feels airier and offers more width to seat three, while the thigh support is about average and the middle-seat backrest is a bit firm. Whereas in the Nexon, the rear seat sits lower and won't give good view due small glass area. On the Nexon, the outer seats are contoured makes them really comfortable and moreover a middle passenger will find the comfort better here, despite lesser shoulder room. That is sure not done from Maruti, as Brezza also has an edge in practicality, with dual gloveboxes, a larger centre storage bay and more space for items. What's also good about the Nexon is that is has a larger boot of 350 litres compared to Brezza's 328 litres.
For more comparisons, click hrere!
In terms of features in the refreshed Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, it comes loaded with new safety features comprising ISOFIX child restraint system, high speed warning alert, dual air bags, ABS with EBD, reverse parking sensors and front seat belt pre-tensioners and force limiters. These features have now been made standard across all variants.
Whereas, the Nexon comes with features like Smart Hill Assist and Crawl function, Smart Hill Assist that prevents the car from rolling-back on uphill drives during bumper-to-bumper traffic, crawl function comes into play during slow moving traffic by helping the car move ahead without pressing the accelerator. And the most interesting of all is the wearable PEPS Key, which will allow you to wear their car key smartly as a wristband and enjoy hassle-free access and ignition of the vehicle. For safety, the SUV provides standard safety features like dual frontal airbags and ABS with electronic brake-force distribution in all wheels, to ensure peace of mind while enjoying a spirited drive.
Value for Money
Maruti Suzuki has always been known for its after-sales backup where Tata still got a lot of work to do on that. Vitara Brezza ZDi+ Dual Tone AGS is priced at Rs 10.49 lakh and as a product is good proposition, but the Nexon is a better option when it comes to power and torque figures, interior comfort, though it is Rs 21,000 pricier than its counterpart at Rs 10.49 lakh (All Prices,Ex showroom).
