Image: Matt Stokes in Absence of the Smoky God, 2014. (Production still) Dual channel HD Film and Audio installation, 7.24 minutes. Commissioned by Site Gallery and Sensoria Festival. Courtesy of the artist and Workplace Gallery
Site Gallery 1 Brown Street Sheffield S1 2BS, UK
27th September - 8th November 2014
Site Gallery presents In Absence of the Smoky God, a major new commission by artist Matt Stokes. Taking the form of a two-screen video and audio installation, the work is inspired by hidden Sheffield locations, sci-fi literature and Barry Hines' 1984 BBC TV production Threads, which portrayed a fictional cold-war nuclear attack on Britain.
Filmed on location in Sheffield, Threads chronicled the before, during and after effects of atomic detonations on the city's citizens. 30 years after its original broadcast, Stokes envisions a more fantastical post-apocalyptic tale by imagining the impact of such an event on the human body, and its social and cultural consequences.
Collaborating with composer Ben Gaunt and a cast of 10 Sheffield-based vocalists, he has created a vision of a transformed society in which archaic customs and systems prevail. In this futuristic world, the human voice and other functions, have been affected by radiation sickness and environmental diseases.
Against this backdrop, Stokes and his collaborators explore the possibilities of shifts in communication through altered speech patterns and capabilities. This manifests itself with two languages being spoken by two different societies. One society survives in a lamp-lit underworld, communicating via a form of mutated English and clipped sounds, whilst the second lives in a scorched overground environment conversing via a form of tonal expression. Heard together the two different groups produce conflicting vocal sounds, which as the work progresses, move closer to each other, from disharmony to harmony, eventually attempting to achieve union.
The gallery will also house a selection of printed materials from Barry Hines' archive, which are on loan from the University of Sheffield Library. Elements include papers and images relating to the filming of Threads 30 years ago, scripts and manuscripts annotated by Barry Hines and the original BBC press release from the televised broadcast. Letters and press cuttings following the broadcast on 23 September 1984 give insight into the reaction to Threads, and the social and political interest in the imagined aftermath of nuclear attack.
About the artist:
Matt Stokes is based in Blaydon-on-Tyne. Recent solo-shows include Grundy Art Gallery (UK), Kunsthalle Fridericianum (Germany), De Hallen Haarlem (Netherlands), CAAC (Spain), BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art (UK) and Arthouse (USA). His practice stems from inquiries into events and beliefs that shape people's lives and identities. Music - its history, subcultures and socio-political effects - often provides the catalyst for researching and forming collaborative relationships with communities. These collaborations develop into films, installations and events, which build upon collective knowledge and skills.

There are numerous benefits to treatment by a physical therapist.
What you need to know before your appointment with your physical therapist.
Move Forward Guide
Your inner ear is critical to keeping your balance. Sometimes when the head is injured in an accident or a fall, the inner ears are injured as well.
Trauma—such as hitting your head in a fall or injuring your neck in a car accident—can damage the structures of your inner ear. The inner ear contains the "peripheral vestibular system, which plays a big role in keeping your balance. The inner ears tell the brain how the body is moving in relation to gravity. In addition, the inner ears communicate information about head motion, which is used to coordinate eye motion.
When the inner ears are injured, you may have:
Symptoms vary from person to person and usually depend on the type and extent of injury.
Because of the unpleasant symptoms, you might begin to restrict your level of activity, and you might even stop participating in your roles at home and at work. But restricting your activities because of these symptoms can actually slow your recovery from an inner ear injury.
First, your physical therapist will perform tests to determine the causes of your symptoms and also to assess your risk of falling. Depending on the results of the tests, your therapist may recommend further testing or consultation with your physician.
Based on your physical therapist's evaluation and your goals for recovery, the therapist will customize a treatment plan for you. The specific treatments will depend on the cause of your symptoms. Your therapist's main focus is to help you get moving again and manage the symptoms at the same time. Treatment may include specialized exercises to:
If you also have stiffness or pain in your neck, your physical therapist will prescribe exercises and treatments such as manual therapy to help reduce the pain and stretch your muscles. In addition, your physical therapist might prescribe exercises to improve your strength, your flexibility, and your heart health—with the goal of improving your overall physical health and well-being.
Recovery takes patience and time, sometimes months; so it's very important that you get back to your normal activities as soon as possible. Avoiding movements and activities that make you dizzy may only complicate your recovery from inner ear problems caused by trauma.
Your physical therapist will teach you strategies to help you cope with your symptoms
All physical therapists are prepared through education and experience to treat dizziness and balance problems. You may want to consider:

My goal with this blog is to write a post each week, but since I've been busy with kid stuff (progress reports came out this week), volunteer activities at the church and new classes, I missed a week of writing.
In the past, I would allow myself to become so busy that eventually I would be lost in the momentum of all the doing. I wouldn't eat well or sleep well and quality time with my family would suffer. But like a spinning top on an uneven surface, I would lose momentum, sputter, wobble and eventually fall over.
Subconsciously the only thing that would stop the mania was a bad cold or a flu. Consciously I knew, as many of us A-type personalities do, that I was feeling ill because I allowed myself to get run down. Eventually however, I became very aware of the feeling of relief that accompanied the cold or flu. I became aware that being sick was the only time that I allowed myself stop…I could just lie around in bed, sleep and recuperate. In other words the cold/flu cycle was part of a very predictable and larger unhealthy cycle and served a great purpose for me. Whether it's a cold, a bad back or a migraine my intuition is that this cycle is the same for many, many people.
The other part of this cycle is how our sense of self is tied up in what we do, what we have and what group we belong to. Material gratification is transient or short lived. You get the house it's beautiful, but eventually you have to fix this or that, or you need new furniture, or you need to knock down a wall and expand the kitchen. There is nothing wrong with having beautiful things; the problem is when the mind says, "Now I am happy," or "Now I am somebody."
The key phrase is "I am." "I am" is a declaration of being. When we say "I am" in conjunction with something that we've earned or didn't earn or something that we have or don't have, we are setting ourselves up to continue this cycle of "doing" and then "burning and crashing." I believe a Buddhist would call this the cycle of samsara, the cycle of death and rebirth. But all spiritual seekers beware! As one of my favorite spiritual teachers points out even spiritual pursuits can become another form of ego, "I am a spiritual seeker."
Jesus said, "Before Abraham was, 'I am.'" Nothing more needs to be said about who we all are, except "I am," then everything else will be "added onto you." That is all the material stuff, relationships, food, clothing, transportation, work, and creative outlets, all flow forth from the great "I am." So over the course of the next week or more, let's contemplate together "I do because I am," and break the unhealthy cycle of "I am because I do."

Using the wrong information can be detrimental to your progress. So be careful who you listen to in the gym. Even though everyone has an opinion, not everyone is right.
The only way to build muscle is by following 3 synergistic principles:
1. Hard, heavy and smart weight lifting
2. Quality nutrition
3. Quality rest
All three must be in place if you're going to succeed in building muscle. If just one of these elements is missing, you're not going to come anywhere near your potential.
Here are 8 simple, proven muscle building tips that you'll want to include in your training and nutrition program.
Tip # 1. Evaluating your body.
By evaluating your current body composition, body weight and body measurements, you give yourself a starting point. This will be very important in deciding what your nutritional and weight lifting goals will be.
Tip # 2. Setting your goals
Looking at the big picture and breaking it down into small mini goals will help you achieve your muscle building goals. It's important that you identify your goals and periodically monitor and adjust your goals on an ongoing basis.
It's better if you were to break your goals down into long (3 to 6 months), short (1 to 2 weeks), and immediate term goals. Make sure your goals are realistic. Record your goals and keep them in a handy place where you have constant access to them.
Tip # 3. Keep a weight lifting log and diet log
It's important that you write everything down. By keeping track of your progress you are keeping yourself honest and motivated. A weight lifting log and diet log can help you get better results. You can look back at the end of each week and figure out if you were on target with your goals.
A weight lifting and diet log will show whether your goals are realistic and give you insight into your exercise and eating patterns. If you're building muscle and strength, you won't have to wonder what works, because you'll have a full description of everything you've done to reach your goals. This will be your blue print for muscle building success.
Tip # 4. Setting up your weight lifting program
Setting up your weight lifting program is a lot easier once you know your body statistics and goals. You must decide whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or advanced weight lifter.
Once you know your current weight lifting status, build your weight lifting routine according to that information.
It's suggested that you incorporate free weight exercises into your muscle building programs as opposed to machines.
In order to build muscle you need to concentrate on the basic movements like the squat, shoulder press, bench press, dead lifts, barbell rows and chins.
One of the most important muscle building tips is to keep your workout short, heavy and intense.
Tip # 5. Nutrition
Nutrition is one half of the key to building muscle. Without the proper nutrition, you might as well pack your bags and go home. No amount of super sets, negative sets, tri-sets or pre-exhausting will build any amount of muscle mass without the proper nutrition.
To be honest, nutrition will be that element of your muscle building program that will make the difference between an o.k. physique and one that commands power.
The trick to unlocking your muscle building fury is to find your optimal nutritional state. To build muscle you need to consume more total calories than your body uses each day.
Remember this very important muscle building tip; nutrition is the key to building real muscle. Try eating 6 times per day and make sure each meal is balanced with the optimal amount of calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat.
Tip # 6. Build a diet that supports your nutritional goals
Once you find out what your nutritional goals are, you need to build a menu that will support your goals. Try and find menus that are easy to cook and taste great. The trick is to adjust the menus and recipes to match your nutritional goals.
Tip # 7. Use only proven muscle building supplements
Weight lifting supplements are meant to enhance an already great muscle building program. If you have the right combination of nutrients and the right weight lifting program, proven supplements may enhance your performance.
In order for weight lifting supplements to function properly, they must be taken at the proper times and in the proper amounts.
Tip # 8. Rest
Blasting your body at full throttle all the time will slowly run you down. You need to take some time to rest and relax. Have fun, kick back and relax and enjoy the fruits of you labor. Let your body get into a good rhythm of work and rest.
By getting quality rest you will ensure that you get the most out of your muscle building program. Sleep is vital to building muscle. Make sure that you get enough rest to properly repair your body.
It is during sleep that most growth and repair occurs. Without adequate sleep the body becomes weakened. It is very important that you get the correct amount of sleep because muscle growth happens while you are resting, not while you are training. If you were to lift weights on a steady basis and not get any quality rest, your body would slowly fall apart.
Weight training tears the muscle tissue down and the diet provides the necessary fuel and material for repair, but it is during sleep that the repair and growth process occurs.
Therefore, sleep is as vital to building muscle as is your training program and diet.
You should aim for 6 to 8 hours of rest each night. Don't be afraid to take a nap in the afternoon or after work to add a little energy to your workouts. Rest is one of those muscle building tips you really don't think about but is so important.
Use the muscle building tips above in your workout program and you'll soon start seeing results.
As you progress in your program, make sure to challenge yourself and change your muscle building routine around. This will add a new angle to your training and improve the your results.

We asked and the Ministry answered: Kingston's Service Canada now offers Passport Services
My staff and I have always been very happy to assist constituents in obtaining their Canadian passports. In 2014, we sent approximately 7000 applications to Passport Canada. In one record-breaking shipment, we sent over 180!
At the end of 2013, due to a significant increase in constituency casework with other federal departments, we made a tough decision. While we continued to send applications through the office to save you postage, we were no longer able to dedicate our staff resources for reviews. Yet, we recognized that this was a valuable and much-needed service for our constituents. First, we asked for a Passport Canada office. Unfortunately, the data analysis and review did not support our request. Next, we asked for our Service Canada centre in Kingston to offer Passport Services. Please read my letter to Minister Jason Kenney here: Letter to Minister Jason Kenney.
I am very pleased to announce that the Ministry has granted this request. Service Canada in the Frontenac Mall will now offer passport services effective February 2nd, 2015. Something to think about: this new passport service will be able to validate applicants' pieces of identification so that they do not have to mail them in. For a complete description of what the Service Canada Centre can do, please visit Passport Canada's website: http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/goc/passport.shtml
While we are happy to continue handling passport applications through the constituency office, you now have a choice! I encourage you to use the Passport Services at Service Canada should you require a formal review of your application, prefer to have your identification validated on the spot, or simply if the location is more convenient for you.

(AFP) Space disaster odyssey "Gravity" soared to the top of the North American box office in its debut weekend with $55.6 million in ticket sales, industry estimates showed Sunday.
The film, directed by Oscar-nominated Alfonso Cuaron and starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney — both Oscar winners — as astronauts adrift in space after a devastating accident, has already been winning rave reviews and Oscars buzz.
It blew away the second place finisher, animated sequel "Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 2," which took in $21.5 million in its second week in theaters, according to industry tracker Exhibitor Relations.
Another new release opened in the third slot: crime drama "Runner Runner," starring Justin Timberlake as a Princeton grad student who travels to Costa Rica to confront a tycoon, played by Ben Affleck, he believes has taken him for a ride on an online poker site.
The film earned an estimated $7.6 million.
Crime thriller "Prisoners" fell to fourth place. The film, starring Hugh Jackman as a desperate parent in search of his child and Jake Gyllenhaal as the detective in charge of the investigation, pulled in $5.7 million.
In fifth place was Formula One motorsport drama "Rush," Ron Howard's acclaimed account of the famous duel for the 1976 world championship between James Hunt and Niki Lauda, earning $4.4 million.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt's raunchy comedy-drama "Don Jon," written and directed by "The Dark Knight Rises" actor, took sixth with $4.2 million in receipts.
The film sees Gordon-Levitt play a porn addict who seeks to change his ways in order to win the woman of his dreams played by Scarlett Johansson.
Not far behind, in seventh place, was "Baggage Claim," a romantic comedy about a lovelorn flight attendant who traverses America looking for Mr Right. The film took in $4.1 million.
Horror sequel "Insidious: Chapter 2" slid to eighth place with $3.9 million. The film, starring Rose Byrne and Patrick Wilson as a haunted husband and wife, is a follow-up to the successful 2010 horror flick "Insidious."
In ninth spot was romantic comedy "Pulling Strings," which stars Laura Ramsay as a US consular official in Mexico who finds herself mixed up with a mariachi singer, played by Jaime Camil, whose visa she rejected the day before.
The film directed by Pedro Pablo Ibarra debuted in the US and Canada with $2.5 million in ticket sales.
And, rounding out the top 10, another romantic comedy, "Enough Said," starring James Gandolfini in one of his last roles before his death this year, earned an estimated $2.2 million.

Proudest video: "'Duet With Myself' I've always wanted to try out a bit of split screen, but I knew that if I was going to do it then I'd have to make it worth it. Writing a song with two parts was annoyingly hard, as was learning both parts, performing them in time, and making the cut between the two shots look seamless. After putting in the extra effort though, the response that I got from the video make the whole ordeal much more than worth it!"

So far, in this series, I've been inspired to have a go at baking the rather tricky looking 8 strand plaited loaf. Before this, I'd only ever attempted a rather pedestrian 3 stranded plait. The instructions for plaiting the dough were a bit confusing at first, but once I understood what they meant, my plait started to grow and actually looked quite like the ones on the programme!
My second attempt (left) was with my tried and tested challah recipe. As this dough is softer than a plain bread dough, it was slightly more difficult to plait and the resulting loaf wasn't quite as neat as my first attempt. It did, hower, taste better!

Weekly OCCHS 'art fair' to end after Sept. 11
The "art fair" outside the Old Colorado City History Center Saturday mornings will close for the season after Sept. 11, according to Jo Cervone, who helped organize
the first-time event for the volunteer Old Colorado City Historical Society (OCCHS).
She said the summer enterprise has proven successful for the OCCHS, grossing $1,500 since opening day June 12.
The event, occurring at the same time as the every-Saturday Farmer's Market on neighboring 24th Street, allows 5 to 10 crafters/artisans to set up on the lawn or patio outside the History Center at Pikes Peak and 24th.
But since school started, Cervone has noticed a drop-off in trade; plus, some of the crafters will be departing soon for Oktoberfest-related fairs elsewhere on Saturdays. Thus, the timing is right to shut down.
Cervone, an OCCHS volunteer herself, said she thinks the group will want to sponsor the fair again next June, and several crafters seem willing to come back.
The OCCHS worked out the fair-on-the-lawn idea after deciding it had become too expensive to rent nearby Bancroft Park.

We take a look at Skinny Fiber to find out the truth behind this supplement and whether it is safe.
Skinny Fiber Pros
- Does not contain caffeine
- Some positive customer feedback
- Money back guarantee on offer
Skinny Fiber Cons
- Product website very confusing
- Lack of advice and clinical proof
- May not be sufficient amounts of Glucomannan
- Includes auto-shipping option
- Sold as a Multi-Level-Marketing / Pyramid scheme
Skinny Fiber Review
Skinny Fiber Facts
- Manufactured by Skinny Body Care, USA
- Bottles contain 120 capsules or one month's supply
- Main ingredient is Glucomannan
Skinny Fiber contains natural ingredients all delivered with large helping of psychobabble that attempts to explain your failure to lose weight in the past. Apparently it all comes down to toxins and a weak immune system caused by eating too much of the wrong food. This function is never fully explained by the advertising.
This diet pill contains key ingredients that are high in fiber and have an appetite suppressing effect by filling your stomach so you do not suffer hunger pangs while you lose weight.
Skinny Fiber is an American diet pill manufactured by Skinny Body Care in the US who are owned by Iconz Global Network, LLC. and is advertised as being the answer to weight loss. Unlike many other supplements on the market this is not a fat burner but an appetite suppressant so will suit consumers who do not like the effects of caffeine. Be warned though, this diet pill does contain stimulant cha de bugre but this is not the principle ingredient. The way that this pill works for weight loss is by filling your stomach thus minimising the effects of hunger. According to the advertising, the ingredients are also rich in enzymes and will help regulate your hormones and reduce the feelings of hunger in your brain.
To use Skinny Body you take two capsules 30 minutes before lunch and again 30 minutes before your evening meal. You are advised to take with a glass of water and the appetite suppressant effect will kick in and prevent you from over eating at mealtimes.
The product information is not very clear about how this diet pill actually works and there is some rather confusing information that goes on about toxins and nutrients, without actually saying anything. We feel that the product information is very incomplete and the result is that it is hard to figure out what it is, that this diet pill actually does.
There is no medical information or scientific proof that Skinny Fiber actually works but the ingredients are natural which is a point in its favour. There have been some medical issues associated with Glucomannan (see our in-depth Glucomannan ingredient article) but the product information does not mention these or any side effects.
The most prominent information given on the Skinny Fiber website seems more concerned with finding new distributors to sell this diet pill, rather than any sound advice about how to use it and what it actually contains.
Because of this sales policy, Skinny Fiber is available for sale from various sellers on Amazon.com and eBay.com. So far, it is not easily available to customers from outside the USA and although some of these third party sellers may ship internationally it will all depend on their own policies.
We are concerned about the lack of health information too. There are no FAQs or information about potential side effects yet some of the ingredients may have potential side effects.
The Skinny Fiber website is confusing, does not appear to work correctly and is extremely difficult to navigate.
For example, although you are invited to join the skinny 90-day challenge and sign up to an auto ship programme where you can receive three free bottles of Skinny Fiber – and we advise you not to do this because diet supplement contracts can be notoriously difficult to cancel.
When you attempt to buy Skinny Fiber direct from the product site, the website requires you to enter the name of "the distributor who referred you". Even attempting to register with the site and become a site member takes you back to entering the name of your distributor. It is very confusing. If you want to try Skinny Fiber, you will probably be better off going through a third party seller.
Skinny Fiber Concerns
- May cause side effects
- Inadequate product information
- Company appear focused on selling not weight loss using a Multi-Level-Marketing (MLM) / Pyramid scheme
What Does Skinny Fiber Claim To Do?
The advertising on the Skinny Body website claims that the diet pills provide the following benefits
- Proprietary Formula
- Provide Antioxidant Properties
- May Help Promote Weight Management
- Support Healthy Digestion
- Helps Supports Detoxification
- Much More!
There is no information given about how this works and the process is not clearly explained.
The advertising goes on to say.
How many times have you tried a diet or weight loss program, followed all the directions, and didn't get results? It's not your fault!
This is the major selling point of Skinny Fiber and it is just not that convincing. How do the advertisers know it is not your fault? This is just an attempt to get you onside and into victim mode where you are passively waiting to lose weight with not doing anything to make this happen.
Another big statement is that,
While diet and exercise are always important to your health, moving more and eating less doesn't always get results…which is the biggest reason why most weight loss programs flat out DON'T WORK!
However, eating less and moving more cannot fail to get results – if you stick at it.
The advertising states that;
until your body is confident enough that it is going to survive without that extra fat, losing weight is almost impossible!
It really does not make sense although we like the notion of the body having emotions. Confident arms perhaps or legs lacking in self esteem? It does not really work like that.
So What Is Skinny Fiber and What Are The Ingredients For Skinny Fiber?
Skinny Fiber contains three key ingredients that act together as an appetite suppressant. The high fibre content of the capsules expand in the stomach and cause the feeling of fullness and the cha de bugre may have some effect as a mild stimulant.
- Glucomannan: This is a soluble fiber derived from the konjac root, also known as the elephant yam. According to research, it can promote feelings of fullness and bowel movements. It has also been tested and widely found to help reduce cholesterol levels and maintain the metabolism in a healthy way. Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16320857
The major problem with this ingredient is that it has not yet been tested for safety and long-term use. Although there is some clinical support for potential health benefits, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved any product containing Glucomannan for the treatment of medical conditions.
Risks of taking Glucomannan include choking and/or blockage of the throat, oesophagus or intestine, according to international adverse reaction case reports. It is also important to note that these products should NOT be taken immediately before going to bed. According to Health Canada, you should ensure you take plenty of water. Source: http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/88/4/1167.full
Lastly and most importantly, ALL clinical research showing significant weight loss is based on 3000mg per day. This supplement contains just over 2000mg in the recommended serving per day.
- Caralluma: Is a cactus plant that is found wild in India and is often used in times of food shortages because it is said to minimise the feelings of hunger. According to a two-month clinical test carried out by the University of Bangalore on 50 people with a BMI over of over 25, Caralluma had a beneficial effect upon weight loss and waist size and does help reduce appetite. Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17097761
- Cha de Bugre: Is a native Brazilian tree that produces a red fruit similar to a coffee bean and these berries are often used as a coffee substitute. It is a stimulant and is popular in Brazil as an energy drink. Also known as Cordia Salifocia , this fruit may have health benefits but remains unproven for promoting weight loss.
A big problem with Cha de bugre is that in its native form, this ingredient may be beneficial but the Brazilian government has controlled export. This means it is unlikely that you will find genuine cha de bugre in uncontrolled third party supplements such as Skinny Fiber. Source: http://www.chadebugre.com/index-1.html
So What Does All This Mean?
The ingredients contained in Skinny Fiber have not undergone enough clinical evaluation to prove efficacy or safety. The FDA has not approved Glucomannan as a treatment for medical obesity and there are concerns about a potential health risk with regards the side effect of choking.
Caralluma is equally unproven and although it may be approved in the future, so far results are inconclusive. Cha de Bugre may have health benefits but the fact that export from Brazil is restricted it is unlikely that Skinny Fiber contains much of the stimulant effect. Although it may work in its home country when prepared fresh from the tree, it will probably do little here in supplement form.
Does Skinny Fiber Have Any Side Effects?
According to the product information, Skinny Fiber is safe to use. However the ingredients may cause side effects.
Most worrying is the choking hazard posed by the Glucomannan but you can also expect increased bowel movements and possibly diarrhoea as well. Some customers have experienced nausea and stomach pains.
Caution No particular known side effects. Ensure you take these with plenty of water to minimise choking risks.
Any Skinny Fiber Reviews From Customers?
There are some customer reviews about Skinny Fiber. A few people have reported side effects and many have not lost any weight,
One customer reported;
I take the pills every day 30 minutes before every meal. However, they do not seem to work. No weight loss.
Others have reported;
No I didn't want to eat, but I didn't lose not 1 pound…. (and I worked out and changed my everyday workout) I haven't been so active til now trying hard to lose weight!!!! It upsets me that I couldn't lose not 1 pound
GARBAGE!!! Does not fill me up, in the least bit. The water I drink to swallow them, does, but not these pills!! I wasted my money! Please save yourself from ordering this junk
However, there are some more positive reviews.
I lost 12 pounds in my first month and then 2 pounds after. I noticed that it does control my appetite if I take 6 pills a day (2 for breakfast, 2 for lunch, 2 for dinner). I did not take them this past weekend and ate like a hog, so I KNOW they work. You need to drink a lot of water to swell the Glucomannan
Please note that this customer has exceeded the recommended daily dose, which we would never recommend with ANY supplement.
So Does Skinny Fiber Work?
It may help you a bit. You could use these pills in an attempt to fill your stomach with fiber to resist the urge to over eat.
Alternatively, you could simply include more fiber into your diet and that way you could save money and avoid potential side effects. Some consumers have found that although their appetite has been decreased they still have not lost much weight.
Where Can I Buy Skinny Fiber?
Skinny Fiber is not available in the shops and if you attempt to buy from the product website, you may be unable to. However, you can find it on Amazon and eBay as well as a few third party websites.
Prices vary. One US seller is offering a bottle of 120 capsules for $58.99, which is a month's supply and seems to be a standard price.
There is a 90-day challenge that is advertised from the product website and this offers you three free bottles of Skinny Fiber You have to join the site and sign up to an auto ship programme in order to qualify for this offer but it is currently not available direct from the product website. We advise against entering into any auto ship programme because you may find it hard to later cancel.
What About Money Back Guarantee?
Our first look at this supplement it appeared that the money-back guarantee was lacking. After given information from a number of distributors we have managed to find information that indicates a 30-day money back guarantee is on offer. Upon returning the bottle (empty or otherwise) to the distributor you can receive your money-back minus postage costs.
Watchdog Verdict
There are too many unanswered questions surrounding Skinny Fiber. The product website is chaotic, hard to navigate and even to buy. The ingredients contained in the capsules require further testing and Glucomannan has the potential risk of choking.
There does appear to be a money-back guarantee and many of the positive feedback found have gone on to become distributors of the product. Even still when compared to other cheaper alternatives on the market in our opinion this supplement doesn't quite make the grade.

A news section will provide consumers and industry professionals with up to date information, relevant changes and current events relevant for insurance shoppers. A partnership with a major technology provider will provide a convenient way to retrieve up to eight different insurance quotes for comparison using a single form.
Before its launch, CarInsuranceEstimate.info is looking for early beta testers and feedback from actual consumers. Project manager Steven explains: "The team has really compiled an impressive set of outstanding information and is positive to provide added value for consumers from the US.

1. Google Voice: Don't want to put your personal phone number out on the interwebs, but also don't want to pay for a separate business line? Then sign-up for Google voice. Using this free service, you select a phone number for your business. When your potential client/student dials this number, it rings through to your cell phone. If you don't answer, a separate business voicemail message (ie. not the personal greeting you already have set-up on your cell phone) is played to your potential client/student. You can access the message online or Google will send it to you via text message. Yeah, it's pretty slick. One thing to note, a phone number in the area code you want may not always be available, if that's the case, check back a few weeks later. New ones come available in rotating chunks. I use this service and I highly recommend it.
2. A Drive: This is a cloud storage system (cloud is just a fancy pants term for online). While you can pay for premium storage plans, A Drive offers a basic personal plan that gives you 50 GB of free online storage. How much storage is that you ask? That's about 12,500 MP3s or 75,000 pictures. So yes, the answer is a freakin' lot. Why do you want online storage? Because when your personal computer crashes, is stolen, burns up in a fire, or is dropped in the bathtub, you don't want to lose all of the pictures, video, and music you've accumulated over your belly dance career. One word of advice - no online system is completely hacker-proof. So the access codes to your bank accounts, certain risque pictures, the recipe for the Colonel's chicken, and anything else that you wouldn't want someone potentially getting their hands on, should not be uploaded.
3. Pinterest: As dancers, we are engaged in a visual art form, and Pinterest is all about the visual. With the swift and sudden popularity of Pinterest, I think everyone's heard of this one by now, but a quick explanation for those who haven't. Pinterest is an online pin board. Think of it as a collage or inspiration board that you can pin electronic pictures and videos to. But while it's very popular, I think not everyone may understand how it can help their business. I think Pinterest can be valuable in two different ways. The first is to use it as your personal idea or goal board: pin images of costumes you want to make or buy, videos of dancers that inspire you, pictures of stage makeup you want to replicate, etc. Then it's all there in one concise, easy to access page. Secondly, you can also use Pinterest to actively promote yourself. If you pin pictures directly from your website or blog, even as others repin them, the original upload link stays with the pin, thus helping drive traffic back to your sites. Also, if you're pinning pictures or videos of yourself, it's yet another outlet to get yourself and your art in front of the eyes of others. How many eyes you ask? Latest stats say Pinterest has 10 million active users and is the fastest growing site in history. You can follow along with me on Pinterest here.
4. Mailchimp: We all know email newsletters can be a great way to advertise your services and connect with your tribe. But it can be daunting to know where to start or how to put one together. Enter Mailchimp. Mailchimp has a "forever free" plan wherein if you have less than 2,000 subscribers, you can send up to 12,000 emails per month absolutely free. It allows to you upload your mailing lists, build sign-up forms to embed in your website, create newsletters, track your analytics, connect your newsletters to other social media sites, and more If and when you do surpass the 2,000 mark, they also have some pretty reasonably priced plans.
5. PayPal: Now this one I know you've heard of, but the question is, are you using it? If someone wants to give you money, you should make it as easy for them as possible. I think for dancers, this is key for two types of transactions. First is for getting students to sign-up for lessons. We all know that if we've pre-paid for something we are much more likely to attend than if we haven't. So when the first class of your new session rolls around, it can be easy for students who intended to sign-up to get comfy on the couch and not show up Whereas, if you've already accepted that student's payment online, through a few easy clicks of the mouse, you are much more likely to guarantee attendance. For an example, you can check out the classes page of my own website here. By the way, to get the html code for the PayPal buttons, sign into your account, click Profile, and one of the options toward the top will be for PayPal buttons, where you can customize them and then generate the code. Another area that can be beneficial for dancers to use PayPal is for accepting deposits for private parties. We unfortunately live in a world of fraud and this can make some potential clients nervous about sending what is usually a sizable check off to someone they don't know for a service they haven't yet received. I typically tell clients that while I prefer to receive deposits via check, if they are more comfortable using PayPal that option is available to them. I have found that almost always the client elects to pay by check, but by having the PayPal option it fosters trust and shows that I am a professional, running a legitimate business.

Dr. Eric Forsthoefel is a physician trained in ER treatments. He has gained approval from various boards and licensing entities, such as the American Board of ER Medicine. Dr. Forsthoefel retains a medical license issued by the state of Florida, which he received in 2014. He has been working in emergency room settings for well over five years. In that time, he has learned to handle many concerned patients and families, broken bones, heart attacks, and extreme traumas.
Dr. Eric Forsthoefel knows from first-hand experience why people go to the hospital. Many of them do not have any other health care provider to turn to. Both hospitals and emergency rooms have always cared for every patient that walked in the door no matter how busy the ER. Team members who work in these emergency room situations worry about the ever-growing crisis of non-emergency care patients.
There have been reports published that collected information from a broad spectrum of people. In a recent publication created by George Washington University, data demonstrated that some people chose the ER versus other types of care because it was more convenient than waiting at a traditional office. Many who went to the hospital did not have a regular physician to see. To this group, it did not appear they had any other options to get medical treatment.
Organizations that support emergency room doctors have been expressing concern about insurance companies that want to change the copay of non-emergency treatments in ER settings. Physicians state that in an emergency situation it is not easy to detect the urgency without actually seeing the patient. Other concerns brought up were people who would not seek help even when they had a true emergency because they were concerned about the insurance paying for the hospital visit and their out-of-pocket expenses.
Dr. Eric Forsthoefel has spent a great deal of time in real-life urgent-care situations. Because of this, he has a proper perspective on the job. Some of the options that may help release the bulging emergency rooms are working with primary care physicians to create more access for patients. One thought is primary-care offices could adjust their hours to be more flexible with people's work schedule, such as being open on Saturdays or Sundays.
One lingering myth is people who show up at hospital emergency rooms were not insured. Over 75% of people that entered hospitals in Florida that had non-emergency conditions had insurance. The truth turned out to be people who did not have insurance did not go to the ER because they were afraid of the financial risks, reports the American Medical Association. The AMA has been collecting and publishing information for decades.
Dr. Eric Forsthoefel understands that working with hospitals, emergency room staff, insurance companies, and other healthcare providers is one way to tackle the burdens placed on unnecessary ER visits. Establishing alternative treatments and educating the public on the benefits of seeking other options in non-emergency situations are just a few avenues to investigate to help increase the care and efficiency of emergency rooms.

USF Home > College of Arts and Sciences > Humanities and Cultural Studies
American Studies is an interdisciplinary field dealing with the study of the United States. It traditionally incorporates the study of history, literature, and critical theory, but also includes fields as diverse as law, art, the media, film, religious studies, urban studies, women's studies, gender studies, anthropology, sociology, queer studies, African American studies, Chicano studies, Asian American studies, American Indian studies, foreign policy and culture of the United States, among other fields.
Our American Studies program focuses on understanding historical events, social issues and institutions, and people through the formal and phenomenological analyses of cultural texts. We examine, from several perspectives, the development and expressions of a national culture and myriad subcultures, as well as borderland and diasporic cultures. By means of a combination of foundational lecture courses, core seminars, American Studies courses, and courses from relevant disciplines (literature, history, the arts, and the social or behavioral sciences), students in the American Studies program explore diverse aspects of the American experience locally, nationally, and globally.
Because of our interdisciplinary methods, we examine works and texts that are typically not engaged by historians, such as popular culture (graphic novels, pop art, toys, pop music, fan fiction), material culture (tools, furniture, architecture), and mass culture (advertisements, consumer behavior, television). And, of course, art, literature, film, and music.
Only a small percentage of American Studies majors go on to work in the field of American Studies; most go on, instead, to become lawyers, librarians, businesspersons, writers, archivists, researchers, teachers, politicians, and even entertainers. Leaders in every industry, from business to the arts, can point to their training as American Studies majors as the starting point for their success.
Are you familiar with Katie Couric or Maria Shriver? They both completed an undergraduate degree in American Studies!
While many majors train students in analytical reasoning and oral and written communication skills, American Studies is unique. Because the focus of American Studies is contemporary American culture, American Studies majors graduate with a privileged understanding of what's going on around them. How Americans think, what they believe, and how the American way of life relates to other cultures around the world -- American Studies majors can offer employers this level of savvy.
One of the key ways of thinking about what an American Studies major prepares you to pursue after graduation is to focus on the skills one acquires as an American Studies student. These include:
American Studies majors as Educators:
Many American Studies majors go on to become educators, focusing on the communication of their ideas. Educators include teachers in Elementary and Secondary education. They also include Higher Education on many levels, including teaching at community and junior colleges, undergraduate colleges, and universities. But educators are also important members of other educational institutions that you may not think of as immediately as schools. These include historic sites and museums, where history majors can become docents, education directors, curators, guides, and interpreters. In addition, there are other forms of teaching than standing up in front of a classroom. These include work as historical consultants, contract archivists, public historians, writers, and even filmmakers.
American Studies majors as Researchers:
Many American Studies majors go on to careers as researchers, emphasizing their skills in evaluating and analyzing documentary evidence. American Studies scholars as researchers include public historians as well as policy advisors, who serve as planners, evaluators, and policy analysts, often for state, local, and federal governments. In addition, American Studies scholars often find employment as researchers for museums and historical organizations, or pursue additional specialized training to become professionals in cultural resources management and historic preservation.
American Studies majors as Writers and Editors:
Because success as an American Studies majors depends upon learning to write effectively, many American Studies majors become writers and editors. They make their living as authors of historical books, or more commonly, they work as editors at a publishing house. Many American Studies majors become print and broadcast journalists, and others become documentary editors who oversee the publication of documents such as those produced by government agencies.
American Studies majors as Information Managers:
Because American Studies majors must learn to deal with documents, many pursue a one- or two-year graduate program in library studies (commonly, a Master of Library Science, or MLS, degree) or archival management and enter careers as information managers. With this additional training, they enter the fields of archives management, information management, records management, and librarianship.
American Studies majors as Advocates:
Many American Studies majors find that the interdisciplinary nature of American Studies training makes a perfect preparation for Law School, as American Studies scholars and lawyers often do roughly the same thing--they argue persuasively using historical data to support their arguments, and they analyze and critique their opponents' counter-arguments. Many American Studies majors become lawyers; others undertake careers in litigation support as paralegals. Others enter public service and become policymakers, serve as legislative staff at all levels of government, and become officers of granting agencies and foundations.
American Studies majors as Businesspeople:
Most people overlook the value of an American Studies major in preparing an intelligent person for a career in business. Yet, American Studies majors track historical trends, an important skill for those developing products to market or engage in corporate or financial planning. Many American Studies majors enter banking, insurance, and stock analysis. American Studies majors also learn how to write persuasively, and this training gives them an edge in advertising, communications media, and marketing. Finally, many industries depend on an intimate knowledge of government policies and historical trends; thus, American Studies majors have found their skills useful in extractive industries and in public utilities.

Go Green, Go Nuclear...
...in support of building nuclear power plants in Malaysia
Wednesday, 28 March 2012
Image of Nuclear Power Plant
From the picture below, we can see the difference between the perception of nuclear power before and after its commencement. Currently, most of Malaysians think that nuclear energy brings more danger to the people than its benefits. In reality, we can obtain the benefits with the right knowledge and precaution taken in building nuclear power plant in Malaysia.

Austin, Texas – 'Really? You're still using that Twitter app?" she asks me. "Oh." She raises an eyebrow, amused, and I'm taken aback. If not ahead of the curve, I'm usually at least on it. But not here. Here at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive Festival, "new" is counted in seconds, yesterday is last year, and you can pay for your beers with your cellphone. This, attendees tell me, is the curve.
The signs around the convention center read "Trade Show," but they might as well say "Mecca." "South By," as its devotees breezily refer to it, is a pilgrimage, as important for what happens outside the trade floor as for what happens on it. My new friend, of the casual Twitter insult, is but one foot soldier in a vast, 20,000-strong array of programmers, entrepreneurs, sales representatives, analysts, reviewers, and enthusiasts, and they are enjoying a week-long sojourn in Texas on their way to changing the world.
The combination of social media, smartphones, and Apple's infectious aesthetic futurism has made tech pretty. The convention center pullulates with hipsters in skinny jeans, sharp-dressed men, and girls who would not look out of place on Fifth Avenue. Because the SXSW festival's other components are music and film and the confab is held in "weird" Austin, the rock-and-roll vibe is perhaps particularly strong. But Austin or no Austin — and "South By" or no South By — IT and culture overlap more widely these days. Think where IT is based: San Francisco, Austin, Los Angeles, Vancouver, New York, all cultural centers of one sort or another.
The festival's opening speech is delivered by Bre Pettis, a Seattle schoolteacher-turned-entrepreneur whose company, MakerBot, is the talk of the town. It makes 3D printers, and is doing for small manufacturers what the dot-matrix printer did for corporate offices. A MakerBot, which uses heat to mold plastic into shapes designed on a computer, costs $2,200. The company predicts that, as the price falls, interested individuals will start to pick up units, too — perhaps using them to make repairs and replace widgets that they can no longer buy, downloading blueprints from the 40,000-item "Thingiverse" library. Pettis, who becomes visibly jazzed as he speaks, tells the congregation that he is "leading the next industrial revolution."
For every good invention, there are ten that are worthless. One of the apps generating a lot of buzz is a new social network, "Hater," that allows users to share things they despise. Then there is the downright pointless side of it all. Something you hear a lot here from attendees is, "My start-up? Well, it's a bit like [massively successful existing app/service] except for [tiny change]."
That many of the fruits of modern technology are trivial — or worse — does not mean that they are not influential. Perhaps because of their reflexive embrace of the "new," progressives appear to know this instinctively. Conservatives, alas, do not. The Left is not just supported by the phalanx of iPhone-toting young people; its luminaries engage with them, too. Acolytes of Obama's hip leftism, including Rachel Maddow, Bill Keller, Chris Hayes, and Nate Silver, speak to packed rooms, whose audiences welcome them with comradely cheers. On Saturday afternoon, Al Gore's speech on "The Future" is so popular that hopeful attendees are stretched around two sides of the convention center. They are told in no uncertain terms that it's full and that they have "zero chance" of getting in. But they join and wait anyway, and those who don't make it in wait outside the doors and, rapt, watch the livestream on their cellphones.
Although conservatives are aware of the tech gap and their wider cultural problem, they don't seem to be even trying to win over this crowd. Marco Rubio's brilliant Twitter recovery after taking an awkward sip of water during his televised response to the State of the Union address hinted at talents for both online promotion and message control. But Rubio is not here. Rand Paul, who made a national issue of domestic drone strikes with his recent filibuster speech — and who would certainly find some fans among this set — is not here. Hardly anyone from the right is. Not a single talk at SXSW has a conservative bent. A few lean libertarian, but in a depressingly narrow sense: I attend a panel called "How to Keep EFF and the ACLU Off Your Ass."
#page#The only Republican who turns up is Senator Jerry Moran (R., Kan.), the sole speaker at an event titled "Why Public Policy Should Matter to Your Start-up." Moran, who voted against SOPA and PIPA, is spearheading a pro-tech policy named Startup Act 3.0 that would ease immigration for those with technical skills, require cost-benefit analysis of new regulations, decrease the tax burden on start-ups, and encourage commercialization of taxpayer-funded research. He is here to talk government and IT. Dressed in jeans and a plaid shirt, he is (surprisingly) lionized by the host who introduces him, for having supported Rand Paul's anti-drone filibuster and for his promotion of high-skilled immigration.
Unexpectedly, drones and extrajudicial assassinations dominate the conversation's first 15 minutes. At ease, Moran makes a passionate defense of the Fifth Amendment. For this, he receives a round of applause. He explains at length why Paul's filibuster is crucial to the republic. More applause. Finally, the host moves us on to the question of visas for the highly skilled. Moran avers that the desire for a "comprehensive" immigration bill shouldn't prevent vital "piecemeal" steps from being taken. This, too, is greeted with applause. In answer to a question from a Democratic politician, Moran subtly reminds the audience that he is a Republican. The audience laughs, nervously.
Later, the conversation takes a predictable turn for the worse, and the questions change: "Why isn't my pet project funded, Senator?" "Shouldn't we have national free Wi-Fi?" "Aren't you all corrupt in Congress?" Moran defends himself ably, explaining that government works best locally, that the federal treasury has run out of money, and that a growth agenda is the best policy. The room remains skeptical, but that's okay. And it occurs to me: Senator Moran is the only Republican here explaining the effect of bad government on business. America's most influential young entrepreneurs are being allowed to live and work in an echo chamber in which Republicans are either ignored or grossly mischaracterized. Moran shows beyond doubt that he understands the issues, dispelling grievous myths about Republicans in the process. Why is he alone?
Down the hall, two middle-aged men are hanging around the free phone chargers discussing online dating sites. "Can the women tell that you're looking at their profiles?" one asks the other. "Yes," his friend replies. "Um . . . can they tell how many times you look at their profiles in one day?" His friend gives him an odd look. Quietly, I excuse myself. Occupy Wall Street is here, too, and wherever they go, bizarre conversations follow. But even if some of SXSW's attendees are risible and others overly earnest, they are very serious about changing the world.
I drop in on SXSW's "Hackathon for Social Good," one of many being held this year across the country. Its participants seek to build "applications to help benefit non-profit organizations." Elsewhere, a group named "Occupy.Here" has gone so far as to create a parallel Internet, an "archipelago of virtual spaces" to which "committed activists and casual supporters" can connect and hold "open political discussions." Occupy.Here claims that they are engaging in "distributed Wi-Fi occupation." I ask what is wrong with the existing Internet. The answer is incomprehensible.
It is curious to see that so many of those who look so reflexively to the future are ultimately deploying their time and talents in the name of such a dated and discredited political philosophy. Come election time, hosts of America's finest technologists — people who understand the decentralized nature of the future — use their iPhones to sell FDR and campus speech codes. Sure, they're changing the nature of government and of democracy with their tools; but ultimately it's in the service of the same old doctrine of central control. Young people have long skewed to the left, and probably always will. But if conservatives wish to return to power, these are the people whom, to borrow a buzzword from the convention floor, they need to "engage." It will be daunting: The pioneers will certainly meet a few people who will ask whether they're really still using that Twitter app. But if they turn up, at least they can reply: "What should I be using instead?"
