7 Misconceptions of Excessive Sweating – And Why You Shouldn't Fall for Them
Whether you sweat profusely or have stared perplexedly as sweat pours from someone in an air-conditioned room, no one is safe from the misconceptions associated with excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis.
Everyone sweats, but when it crosses the threshold of normal and sweat marks begin to drape from a person's underarm area, people tend to get freaked out. As a sufferer of hyperhidrosis, I have been on the other side of this scenario. Here are seven frustrating misconceptions I often hear about hyperhidrosis and the truth behind each:
1. Excessive sweating signals poor hygiene.
Excessive sweating – or perspiring more than is needed to regulate body temperature – has nothing to do with hygiene.
Before developing and religiously wearing the Thompson Tee, I used to shower two to four times a day, change my shirt every few hours and slab on ridiculous amounts of antiperspirant just to stay semi-dry, but I simply couldn't control my sweating. This false association with poor hygiene couldn't be further from the truth.
2, Only overweight people suffer from hyperhidrosis.
While excessive sweating is more common among those who are overweight or out of shape, hyperhidrosis can affect people of all sizes and ages. Often, profuse sweating can indicate more serious diseases such as diabetes or thyroid problems, but hyperhidrosis is separate from these illnesses.
3. Sweat causes body odor. Although a foul smell is typically associated with sweating, sweat itself is actually odorless. The pungent odor you may notice after an intense sweat event is actually the product of your sweat mixing with bacteria on the skin.
4. Hyperhidrosis isn't a serious or life-altering condition.
From the outside, sweating may seem like a harmless personal problem. But constantly sweating through your shirts – regardless of the temperature – is more than a nuisance; it can also inflict serious psychological damage on a person.
Growing up with hyperhidrosis, my co-founder Randy and I had to shape our lives around our profuse sweating by avoiding certain social situations, layering up even in extreme heat and arming ourselves for the day with "sweat kits." Constantly fretting over the appearance of sweat marks and stains (or when they might decide to show up) became mentally draining.
5. People sweat the most in their armpits.
The average person is born with about two to four million sweat glands, but less than 1 percent of sweat comes from the armpits. Because sweat cannot escape as easily from this confined space, it creates a pooling effect you may feel from time to time - or every day for excessive sweaters.
6. Excessive sweat indicates an overly nervous or anxious person.
While anxiety can exacerbate sweating, the sweat associated with hyperhidrosis can strike at any moment. Simply going through the motions at work or at home can ignite the water works. There is really no controlling it - only subduing the sweat by keeping calm and not letting anxiety about sweating intensify the problem.
7. Something must be "wrong" with a person who excessively sweats.
Nothing is worse than an entire room full of people studying your sweat-marked shirt in disbelief. Both Randy and I have experienced blank stares and people asking if we're OK after a sweat attack comes on. And the attention is anything less than glamorous.
It's time to reverse this misconception and educate others on what excessive sweating actually is - a medical condition that cannot be helped. Drawing undue attention to the situation is never the answer.
Sweating is a natural, everyday occurrence whether you realize it's happening or not. Hyperhidrosis occurs when the brain signals the body to produce more sweat than it requires – it's not the result of poor hygiene, inactivity or anxiousness.
Those who have to live with this condition understand the stress and self-consciousness that can eat away at your mood and demeanor every day. So instead of fueling the fire – let's finally put these false notions to rest!

This question may be important for many people. In short we tried to answer this question. Attachment is very important in vastu shastra. If one bought a very bad vastu house and lives in a very good vastu home and he never visited the bad vastu home then it never impact on him. If he is regularly visiting the bad vastu property and more attached to that property, then it starts working on him. If one resident is living in a normal vastu house and bought a bad vastu house as an investment and always attaching to that bad vastu house then negativity starts and he may suffer. If one resident is living in a bad vastu home and bought one bad vastu house as an investment and attaching more to that property then his pains and troubles may multiples. If one resident lives in a good vastu house and bought a good vastu house as an investment purpose and attaching more to that property may increases resident opportunities and it increases more luck. Based on many reasons, residents are requested to show their investment properties with one expert vastu consultant before buy. Unnecessarily we should fall in troubles. In future we will extend this content by publishing images.
You have saved your money and to invest in land is good. But before that you choose that the land is good in all aspects. Because if the land is not good as per vaasthu, it will affect your personal as well as profession wise also.
Hence get good advice and invest accordingly.

Trip to the USA
Modern cities around the world have extravagant multistoried building, sophisticated lifestyle, and lots of technological advancement. "It was a town of machinery and tall chimneys, out of which interminable serpents of smoke trailed themselves forever and ever, and never got uncoiled," Charles Dickens describes modern cities of his time in his book Hard Times. But the situation has changed now. The experience gained by our students during their USA trip has made them think twice about the modern cities.
It has been a complete exhilarating journey of our high school students during their 15 days visit to one of the most destined and visited places in the world––USA. Ullens school takes students from high school for an educational visit to the United States of America (USA) every year to make students aware of the developments happening in the USA. Students also get the chance to familiarize themselves in this sophisticated and highly technological world and increase their knowledge horizon.
Our student started their visit from Columbia University; one of the most prestigious universities in the world where tour around the campus was given by our own alumni Hritesh Chandra Regmi. After that, students had the chance to go around various places for sightseeing like Central Park, Ground Zero, Wall Street, Rockefeller Centre, UN building, Empire State Building, and so on.
The very next morning after having their breakfast, students were excited to visit the Statue of Liberty and Liberty Island. They were also lucky enough to visit Places like One World Observatory Center, Broadway and Shubert Alley, Madame Tussauds, etc. The morning after that, Students took off to reach Washington DC where they received guided city tour of Washington DC with Air and Space Museum, The White House, Lincoln Memorial, The Capitol Building, World War II memorial Building, The Pentagon, and The Washington monuments. They toured Hershey's Chocolate factory on their way to Washington. After that, students were taken to Orlando in a two-hour flight where they had the opportunity to tour Disneyland-Animal Kingdom, Universal Studios, etc.
Students also went to Visit NASA KSC where they learned many things about space. They observed the phenomenal aviation technologies of the space right in front of their eyes. During Salute to Science at NASA KSC, Students got chance to attend a private briefing to learn about important science concepts related to space exploration. They also Enjoyed a private presentation with a veteran NASA astronaut and even had lunch with him. They got engaged in a hands-on, minds-on Team Engineering Challenge. Students were greatly inspired by the leap taken by the USA in the sector of science and technology. After the visit to NASA KSC, the students were taken to Miami to explore Miami South Beach, Art Deco, and Biscayne Bay Cruise to end their trip.
Students are now back to school. This trip was swift, like a sweet dream. But they have embraced the opportunity and decorated their minds with wonderful souvenirs, which they shall forever keep in the pockets of their celebrated moments.

I was wondering if anyone ever tried to match Hype with Twine, that simple tool to create interactive fictions (http://twinery.org).
A mix between them could allow, for example, triggering an animation or a script from a Twine story link.
Any thoughts about this ?
I was wondering if anyone ever tried to match Hype with Twine, that simple tool to create interactive fictions (http://twinery.org).
The concept is very appealing. Reminds me of the role playing books of the 80ties. Would be a interesting match.
I haven't looked into twinery, but a friend created an interactive fiction language called kni and we hashed out together in the past all the proper endpoints that could be used for integration. I think he may have done a rough test, but we both got distracted and never got to a real implementation. I'd still like to come back to that!
Kni looks interesting but I like Twine having a graphic interface really useful to keep track of the story structure. It also has many functions using variables.
This thread is surprising to me.
- Are interactive fiction stories really that popular?
- Hype itself can be used to create interactive fiction stories. That was the point of the "Book" template… https://photics.com/free-template-tuesday-14-tumult-hype-book/ …which is a basic version of what was used for Revisions… https://photics.com/books/revisions/
Aside from the flowchart, what does Twine do?
You don't need to write any code to create a simple story with Twine, but you can extend your stories with variables, conditional logic, images, CSS, and JavaScript when you're ready.
All of that is possible with Hype. "Revisions" uses Variables, Conditionals, CSS and JavaScript. I suppose if I used lots of images, I'd probably have less trouble getting the app approved. HA HA.
I did have some trouble using Hype for this. With lots of scenes, the app started to slow down. Also, making changes to more than one scene at a time was impossible. So, I had to manually make changes with each of the more than 100 scenes – not fun!
Hey Michael,
I hadn't heard about your template and gave it a look. It's nice and interesting, that's great work) but as you stated, you have to deal with as many scene than you have chapters. I'm not sure I'll be able to be able to deal with it. Twine would allow to embed the whole story into a single scene with some animations or scene changes when needed. And also, I already have my work into twine format and wouldn't want to start all of it again.
My only need with twine, so far, is being able to import a story into Hype (that's easy) but I'll need this story to communicate with hype JS and timelines.
My strategy when contemplating kni integration was more that Hype could be used as visual setup and the renderer of scenes (like a template), but would ultimately be driven by kni/the story environment. This would get around some of these current scaling issues. It sounds like this is the approach @kerguelen is also taking?
One of our goals was that you'd be able to label specific elements via class names or give certain scene names for particular environments, then glue code could associate the Hype template scenes with what to show and fill in any blanks.
Taking this further, the goal was to also make an Export Script that would glue them together.
(P.S. As a kid I was using HyperStudio (a HyperCard clone) making "escape from middle school" interactive fiction so there's a soft spot for me personally, and those experiences did inform the design of Hype!)
Yes, @jonathan. I was mainly thinking Hype could be an interpreter/parser for Twine generated story. One scene, one script to interpret the story and the ability not only to play Twine game but to let it send instruction to the Hype document.
There is something here about using javascript in Twine, maybe it can help :
"You request and I deliver, Master" said the small dwarf and walked into his messy workshop. If you listened carefully you could hear him banging away at wood with the occasional screeching of bending metal. After that some days of silence followed and then the dwarf reemerged from his little dungeon holding a shiny object reflecting the sun in all the colors of the rainbow. In the shimmering reflection you could make out some letters on the surface in an ancient language… "Hy… Hype… Twine… Stage"

Castle McDuck (alternatively called McDuck Castle) was the seat of the Clan McDuck and the residence of the McDuck Family which was built sometime before 946 as a fortress for the Clan McDuck. It first appeared in the Carl Barks comic story "The Old Castle's Secret". It is located in Dismal Downs, which is located in the Rannoch Moor of Scotland.
Long ago, the castle was in excellent condition when Clan McDuck was still strong. However, as revealed in the comic "The Hound of the Whiskervilles", the McDuck's rival clan, the Whiskervilles drove them off the castle using a "Hound" that was actually simply a disguise worn by a Whiskerville. After the McDucks were scared off, the castle was slowly abandoned and forgotten during the fall, leading it to dissolve in ruin. The great clan lost power, leading up to the birth of Scrooge McDuck, the last of the Clan.
- The small moat at the left and right side of the castle
- Castle cemetery at the left and right side of the main path where most of the McDucks were buried.
- Fake grave of Sir Swamphole McDuck, with an emergency secret passage leading into the sealed Dungeon and the castle.
- A path leading to a gateway with a large wooden gate that leads into the interior of the castle, the Ground Floor.
- Multiple rooms and cells for prisoners
- A locked cell with Sir Quackly's treasure
- Door disguised as a pillar with Sir Quackly's armor
- A sealed door that once led to the Ground Floor
Ground Floor
- Hallway leading up to the Great Hall with various mannequins and armor stands on the sides.
- Great Hall with dining tables
Top Floor
- Private Lounge with a furnace, a chair, a table, and a window at the left side
- Meeting room, accessible through Private Lounge
- Four turrets
In the DuckTales continuity, the history of the castle and the clan is greatly altered. The show first peeks into Castle McDuck in the episode "The Curse of Castle McDuck". The castle was built by Sir Silas McDuck, but to avoid higher prices, he built it around an ancient Druid stone circle. This attracted the wrath of the druids, and during the grand opening of the castle, the Hound appeared, the murderous dog of the Druids. The McDucks were driven out and lived in a fear of the Hound.
DuckTales (2017)
Castle McDuck appears in the episode "The Secret(s) of Castle McDuck!". Its portrayal is more faithful to the comics, being the ancestral home of Scrooge and the resting place of all of the McDucks. Additionally, it houses the spirits of deceased McDucks, who are proven to be protective of their living kin when they appear to protect Huey, Dewey, and Louie from danger. Scrooge bought it back sometime after acquiring enough gold, but because he rebuilt the castle from discount Druid stones, his parents were cursed with immortality and remained inside the castle.

First experience with ReRave Arcade - Queen of Light Master
Hearthstone - Heroes of Warcraft
Hearthstone is an upcoming CCG game from Blizzard based on the (World of )Warcraft lore. In general the game plays like World of Warcraft TCG. Two heroes are pitted against each other, each having a certain amount of life. With spells and creatures you are trying to beat the opposing hero by zero-ing his or her life total. Each player has a 30 card deck from which he draws spells. Each turn you gain one mana crystal that you can spend each turn. Thus on turn two you have 2 mana crystals, on turn 3 you have 3 mana crystals that you can use etc. The cards have a mana cost. To pay for it you need to have enough mana crystals available. That's about it^_^.
At the beginning you choose a hero out of the nine available (each hero represents a class). Each hero also has an ability that you can use each turn (it has a cost as well). There are cards that are class specific and that adds to the variety of the game. After winning or playing a game your hero gets some experience points. After reaching a certain amount of them the hero levels up and that usually means new cards^_^. Bringing them to an altar opens the booster pack and you can upgrade your deck (or you can simply buy the cards). There are five cards in a booster pack. You can get cards of a common, rare, legendary or epic rarity. There will be the possibility to trade A LOT of crap cards for better cards or foil versions. That sounds good actually...Also you can craft other cards.
So far it sounds as any other card game there is. That's true but I have to say that the graphics and all the small things that you can do there (like clicking on something that makes sound or triggers some kind of animation) is really cool. The sounds, graphics and animations are simply awesome. Thanks to this you can also see what your opponent does... that he's going through his cards in hand, thinks about what to target etc. The art and digital animation + voice acting is a really awesome experience. I did not believe that at first but when I played the game I enjoyed that as well. (and I'm the kind of person who reads text spoilers for new sets in games like Magic: The Gathering and does not really care about images and stuff.)
Sometimes the card names and images are same as card names/images from World of Warcraft. That makes it a bit confusing but as long as one reads what the card does he's fine. The game also has a history which is awesome. You can check that to see what your opponent played and what that card does. You can also chat with your opponent during the game.
Matching is done via Battle.net obviously. The game should be free to play. You can either buy new cards or unlock them by leveling up your hero.
The game is really fun with each turn the game gets more intense and everything actually seems to be pretty balanced. So we will see how the game evolves. If you are from United States (or some other countries that are not located in Asia or Europe - countries are listed on the page) you can try to get a beta key via Hearthstone Facebook page. You might get lucky unlike us in Europe. We will have to wait for the release I guess. But playing the game at Gamescom was really fun. Now I know that I'll certainly play the game. The game will be released for PC, Mac and iPad. (yes, you read correctly when you don't see Android there....)

Standard Mono Green?
Some time ago someone managed to top 8 SCGO or something with Mono Green build. I wanted to try it and see if this deck actually has some chances. So I took the very same list to local FNM and tried my luck. Before it I played quite some games against Aristocrats and Jund and there were cards that I really missed main deck and even in the sideboard. Decklist follows:
By Richard Nguyen
18 Forest
4 Mutavault
4 Arbor Elf
4 Wolfir Silverheart
4 Predator Ooze
4 Elvish Mystic
4 Elvish Archdruid
3 Strangleroot Geist
2 Craterhoof Behemoth
7 INSTANTS and SORCERIES
4 Revenge of the Hunted
3 Ranger's Guile
4 Rancor
2 Garruk, Caller of Beasts
2 Scavenging Ooze
4 Thragtusk
3 Wolfir Avenger
2 Primeval Bounty
2 Naturalize
2 Garruk Relentless
Even though all those thoughts were in my head during the 'testing' I did not really want to change the deck. In the first round I played against white/black humans. I already played some games against it before and it was pretty annoying but I still won most games. I won the first game quite easily as I did not encounter much of removal and my guys with trample just went through all the tokens. In game 2 and 3 though I was shown Doom Blades, Oblivion Rings and Tragic Slips and that was just too much for me.
I don't really remember the second round but I won somehow (I played against Gruul Aggro). In round three I played against yet one mono green. But I was the one who managed to get a mana dork in play turn 1. This was too big an advantage. I managed to kill my opponent with Craterhoof Behemoth few turns later. In the second game it was more or the same. I managed to kill the board with Revenge of the Hunted and then I could just swing with my guys for lethal a turn later.
In the last Round I encountered Reanimator deck. I have to say that I did not see this coming. I won the first game by just attacking with my creatures. My opponent was unlucky because he did not get a source of white mana. In game two he got it along with Avacyn's Pilgrim and I was pretty much done for. His first Salvage hit both Angel of Serenity and Unburial Rites and well I don't need to say that this deck can't deal with it. In game three I got two Scavenging Oozes in play but they had nothing to eat from the graveyard. Angel of Serenity came out of nowhere not really going through graveyard and removed my only chance from the game. This wasn't actually true because I could have still won if I would (*facepalm*) have realized that I could play my own Garruk while opponent's Garruk was on the table. With him I would just put Craterhoof Behemoth into play and win the game. But I was still convinced that the Garruks would kill each other (I forgot about the rules change).
So afterall it wasn't that bad with this build I seriously lost only one match out of the 4 rounds.
Today I played Game Day at Najada with once again this Mono Green. I played against Aristocrats in round one and won. In the second round I managed to win against Jund. Then there was BRW midrange. After this I lost my first game against UWR Flash. This deck is so annoying but it was close. Rather what killed me was the very first Warleader's Helix. Otherwise I would have dealt lethal damage and it would be it. Even the second Helix would be fine if it wouldn't be joined by Sphinx's Revelation. I personally thought that my chances against this deck are really bad but after playing these games I changed my mind. Garruks and Primeval Bounty can win the game and even just being fast can win it. Strangleroot Geist and Predator Ooze survive Supreme Verdict but well...there are still those Helixes, Azorius Charm and Sphinx's Revelation...
I managed to get to top 4 but I lost the first game against Aristocrats. I sided badly, I got a bad hand and even I tried to win (at least in the second game, in the first one I just didn't care) I lost due to Skirsdag High Priest on the other side of the table (supported by 2 Cartel Aristocrats, Sorin and about 3 tokens each turn).
It was nice to play with this deck. I don't regret buying those few cards that I did not have (Predator Ooze and Revenge of the Hunted).
Next time (if there will be any other next time) I'll play 4 Garruk Relentless, 2-3 Prey Upons, no Wolfir Avengers, 4 Strangleroot Geists in total and Ratchet Bombs if I can fit them in. Because that is actually my only chance against Mono Red decks. But I'm still not convinced that this deck could actually win something...Mono green does not really have the cards to deal with many threats and that's something I don't like. I'd rather play some Golgari Midrange, Jund Control or UWR. But it was fun and it was definitely worth it.

The quality of game angling in Ireland's Western Fisheries Region is quite exceptional. Visitors fishing for salmon and trout in a natural, undisturbed habitat will enjoy a unique experience. The Western Region is justifiably famous for its stocks of wild brown trout. The superb limestone wild brown trout lakes of Corrib, Mask and Carra provide a quality of game fishing hard to equal anywhere in Europe. The Western Regional Fisheries Board also manages the world famous River Erriff and Galway Weir Salmon Fisheries.
The Western Fisheries Region is divided into three separate districts. These are Ballinakill Fishery District, Connemara Fishery District and Galway Fishery District. Amongst these are -
Connemara Fisheries District
Renowned world-wide for its vast number of loughs and rivers, all situated in very scenic countryside and in every way an angler's dream.
Galway Fisheries District
The Galway Fishery District comprises all of the Corrib system of lakes and rivers, including the famous wild brown lakes Corrib, Mask and Carra. The system has many small hill loughs that hold large stocks of wild brown trout averaging about half a pound. Lough Corrib also holds salmon as well as many of the rivers and some of the small hill loughs flowing into Corrib. Most famous salmon rivers are the Clare and Cong. Lough Corrib is the most productive wild brown trout lough in Ireland, having produced upwards on 40,000 over three seasons since the year 2000. Lough Mask is another famous wild brown trout lough where the famous World Cup Wet Fly Competition is held every year since 1953, attracting around 700 anglers.

AI War:High Level AI Planets
What Is The Risk Of Taking A Planet Next To High-Level AI Planets?
Q: How do you deal with a high-level planet next to one of your planets? In my current game, there was a mk4 planet belonging to a turtle next to my home world. If I attacked it early on, it would have been very costly to do any damage, and destroying the command center would have been suicide if that released the defenders to attack my home planet. But I was worried that the AI would continually reinforce this planet so that I would never be strong enough to take it, until it did a cross-planet attack on my home.
A: In most senses, having a Mark IV world right next to your worlds is not particularly more dangerous than having a lower-level world. Basically, a cross-planet attack is a diffuse event, comprising a bunch of ships of the level that matches the current tech level, from a variety of enemy planets. So unless your AI's tech level is already mark IV, you'd never see mark IV ships coming against your planets in a cross-planet attack.
However, it is very important to note that as the campaign progresses (as of version 3.107 of the game), you may suddenly find yourself facing trickles or small swarms of high-level ships from this planet because of border aggression. The typical best thing to do is to partially neuter the high-level planet if you are worried about future border aggression from it. But that doesn't require a full incursion by any stretch, or even a full neutering.
So really, border aggression aside, the Mark IV worlds are really more roadblocks than anything else. They restrict travel, and they are hard to capture if there is something valuable on them. They are not otherwise all that much more threatening, though, in terms of adjacency. So the best strategy is usually just to ignore it so long as you have done a Gate Raid (if you care about that planet as a source of enemy waves enough to make the difficult raid). The other disadvantage is that it creates a lack of buffer between you and the AI, so if there is later high Threat Level, there is risk that the AI ships might just come straight into your home planet from the world you failed to take. So, there are those sort of positional disadvantages related to your inability (or choice not to) to take a high level planet.
That can be a significant effect, especially on higher difficulties, but it's not an exponentially-bad effect of having large numbers of high-level ships swarming you or anything. That would be pretty impossible! If you're used to playing terrestrial RTS games, think of the Mark IV planets almost as being like mountains or rivers in those games; their gameplay effect is fairly similar in this space game.
What Is The Risk Of Not Destroying A High-Level AI Planet Next To My Home Planet?
A: See above.

President Muhammadu Buhari said he is more concerned with addressing the myriad of security and economic challenges in Nigeria than preoccupying himself with the forthcoming 2019 election.
President Buhari said this yesterday when he held bilateral talks on his administration's three-pronged focus with the British Prime Minister, Theresa May at 10, Downing Street, London.
He stressed: "We campaigned on three major issues, to secure the country, revive the economy and fight corruption. We have elections next year, politicians are already pre-occupied with the polls, but I am bothered more about security and the economy."
President Buhari, in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, yesterday commended British companies like Unilever, Cadbury, and many others, "who have stood with Nigeria through thick and thin. Even when we fought a Civil War, they never left.
"But like Oliver Twist, we ask for more investments. We are encouraging more British companies to come to Nigeria. We appreciate the support you have given in training and equipping our military, particularly in the war against insurgency, but we want to also continue to work with you on trade and investment."

President Buhari briefed Prime Minister May on the strides in agriculture, which he said has put Nigeria firmly on the road to food self-sufficiency."I am very pleased with the successes in agriculture," he said, adding: "We have cut rice importation by about 90%, made lots of savings of foreign exchange, and generated employment. People had rushed to the cities to get oil money, at the expense of farming. But luckily, they are now going back to the farms. Even professionals are going back to the land. We are making steady progress on the road to food security."
On education, President Buhari said more investment was being made, because "people can look after themselves if well educated. In this age of technology, education is very important. We need well-staffed and well-equipped institutions to move into the next generation."
Prime Minister May, in her remarks, said Britain would continue to work with Nigeria in the areas of training and equipping the military. She was particular about abduction of young schoolgirls by Boko Haram, noting that Britain would continue to give Nigeria needed assistance.
The Prime Minister said the Buhari administration has "been making good progress on the economy," and urged it to maintain the focus, despite approaching elections, and increase in political activities.

On education and climate change, she declared: "Good grounding in education is good. It is important to equip young people for today's world. It is also a good bastion and defence against modern slavery. The issue of the environment and climate change is very important, because of its impact on many countries in the Commonwealth. Stability at home is important, to curb illegal migration."
Prime Minister May, who commended President Buhari for the much he has been doing on improving trade and business for Nigeria, noted that it was also time to boost intra-Commonwealth trade.
