I've not done very well in the past down thumbing LivePerson, and if I had reviewed my notes before I thumbed down the 18% spike today, I might have taken a pass.
Overall, they continue to grow the topline, but minimal growth in the bottom line. Some big customers popping on board, but still $1.8M in losses this quarter. Extra spending on building/servers, etc, burning down cash, but $71M should hold them if they can turn positive soon. Turning positive would be a nice catalyst, so while I think they are highly over valued here at $12, at 3.5P/B and 3X P/S, not much to squeeze here other than the overshoot from the 2M shorts, 5X the average daily bottom, that should bleed down.
Short term call, not enthused with the metrics, but following too strong to get overly critical.
Reopening a previous pick.
Strong fundamentals in a growing market....eCommerce is not going away anytime soon.....Going long....
Customer support is what differentiates companies today, and LivePerson is the market leader is allowing companies to communicate with customers. Because of their superior technology (that I have used before and led me to a sale), LPSN will outperform the market.
Great Niche. Lost a big contract a couple of months ago, but is slowly rebuilding.
Execution needs to get it's act together!
TMFSarahGen piggy back.
Grabbed few @ 8.4 waiting for 11...
Well run company performing an indispensible service, the leader in its market with a very high growth rate.
LivePerson continue to drive strong revenues from their solid base of 8,500+ customers as well as delivering innovation which expands the reach within existing customers as well as across broader markets. A strong performer in the past very well positioned to grow in the coming years.
A top product in one of the best IT growth industries. Gotta love how this company is positioned moving forward.
I can't ignore LivePerson (LPSN) any longer. I often favor value stocks, but I also like growth stocks, so long as I can really understand what the company does and provided it has a sterling balance sheet. Well, LPSN has got both areas covered: it develops software applications for ecommerce so businesses can better interact with their customers (read: increase conversion rates and provide better customer service) and it has a sterling balance sheet.
LPSN carries absolutely no debt (0.00 long-term and total debt to equity ratios) and has plenty of cash on hand, evidenced by a 3.3 quick ratio and a 3.5 current ratio. I'm averse to investing in companies with too much debt, so I imagine I've accordingly bypassed quite a few growth stocks with good growth potential, but in my mind, LPSN has both great growth potential without any of the risks that come from being overleveraged early in a company's development.
Like it or not, ecommerce is a growing part of a new shopping paradigm and companies like LPSN are going to be highly sought after because they provide actionable information to online businesses in an increasingly competitive retail landscape. With clients like IBM, The Home Depot, Verizon, Discover, Chase, and Wells Fargo, LPSN seems to be the leader of the pack. I also unwittingly used a LPSN product months ago when trying to redeem a coupon on an online clothier's website and came away pleased with the experience, as they were able to take care of my concern and I immediately.
LPSN is also very profitable: its 79.50% gross margin is almost double its industry average, and over the past five years, sales have grown 36.79%, and with any luck, its earnings should keep growing too. I guess you could say I'm sold on LPSN.
Definitely headed in the right direction.
"LivePerson Receives Product of the Year Award from Customer Interaction Solutions® Magazine"
bought this AM. going with the fools. i like it.
I own this stock asat of 12/15
Its better than hunt and peck through the websites looking for answers. Its more immediate than the holds for a live person. Its such an obvious necessity that competition will move in quickly... that's why I only give it a year or so...
I think this company is a potential takeover target from a larger tech company because it is a leader in its field but is still cheap enough to buy outright with a market cap below $1B.
This account tracks the fast-growing shakers and movers and some of the riskier stocks on my watch list.
More and More people are shopping on line. LPSN provides a quality service that a lot of big name companies use. Disney, PNC, Capital One, SunTrust, Wells Fargo to name a few Financials. Retailors include 1-800Flowers, Crate and Barrel, Home Depot. Telco/Cable/Internet Verizon, Bell Canada, Yahoo/ Travel : Orbitz. High Tech IBM, Microsoft, Cisco, H P. and a whole lot more. They have good rev. and earning. Maybe a future buyout target but if not I've been in with real money around $6.05
There expanding customer base and market regions seems very attractive. As well as 41% of people number one concern is at the time of purchase online be able to get answers to questions.
Everywhere I turn there is another web site which I engage with on a live chat. Most of them powered by Live Person. I still need to be convinced of their experts online at the web site, but I'm actually going to give that a test drive here in the near future to investigate some technical issues. Hope my limit order goes thru. I'm "cheap"!

Advancing Fuel Cell Technology at Los Alamos
|Positive Impact:
|EERE-funded LANL projects are helping to protect the environment by decreasing greenhouse gas emissions.
|New Mexico
|Los Alamos National Laboratory
|EERE Investment:
|$14 million over three years
|Clean Energy Sector:
|Sustainable transportation
From fuel cell electric vehicles to portable power, Los Alamos National Laboratory has been a pioneer in advancing offer alternatives that will reduce the nation's energy and petroleum requirements, as well as decrease U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Los Alamos's technology has enabled the manufacture of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells with one-tenth the platinum content of earlier designs. This is a breakthrough that reduces the cost of fuel cells, as the prohibitive cost of platinum is one factor that has historically hindered the wide-spread adoption of fuel cells. Los Alamos now plays a leading role in developing an approach to completely eliminate platinum from the fuel cell catalyst altogether. The laboratory has multiple projects that address issues that include fuel cell degradation, the effects of impurities on fuel cells, improving chemical hydrogen storage systems, and hydrogen fuel quality.
The Fuel Cell Technologies Office (FCTO) conducts comprehensive efforts to overcome the technological, economic, and institutional barriers to the widespread commercialization of hydrogen and fuel cells.

water splitting,
Hydrogen is a significant source of energy which can be burned to produce power with no negative impact on the environment, unlike power produced by burning fossil fuels. Hydrogen gas can be easily produced by splitting water into its constituent elements – hydrogen and oxygen. Plants' powers of photosynthesis allow them to harness the energy of the sun to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen at separate times and at separate physical locations in the plant's structure. By applying direct current to water via a positive and a negatively-charged electrode in a process known as electrolysis, scientists have long been able to break the bonds between hydrogen and oxygen, releasing them as gas. Industrial processes to produce pure hydrogen from water require expensive equipment and rigorous oversight to ensure that the gases do not mix. Accidental mixing of the gases can lead to accelerated decay of materials involved in the process or even dangerously explosive mixtures. In a new paper in the journal Nature Chemistry published today (Monday 14 April), Professor Lee Cronin and Dr Mark Symes of the

Inexpensive molecular molybdenum-oxo catalyst for generating hydrogen from water without the use of any other materials
Friday, February 15, 2013
freezing water at different temperatures
A study in the Feb. 5 Science reports that water can freeze at different temperatures depending on whether the surface it rests on is positively or negatively charged. Under certain conditions, water can even freeze as it heats up.
"We are very, very surprised by this result," says study coauthor Igor Lubomirsky of the Weizmann Institute of Science in
Water usually begins freezing by forming an ice crystal around a particle of dust or some other impurity. Without that starting point, water can stay liquid well below its freezing point, down to about -42º Celsius. This supercooled water is useful in nature and in the lab, from frogs and fish surviving long winters to cryogenic preservation of blood and tissues.
Scientists have suspected for decades that electric fields could be used to trigger freezing in supercooled water. A molecule of water has a slight positive charge on one end and a negative charge on the other, so electric fields could snap water molecules into a rigid formation by aligning them according to charge.
But previous experiments to understand whether electric fields can influence freezing were complicated by the materials used. The best materials for holding electric charge are metals, but as anyone who has tried to open a car door after a snowstorm knows, ice forms easily on metals even without a charge.
"If you try to do it with metal, you don't know what is from the electric field and what is from the metal itself," Lubomirsky says. "We wanted to know whether it is the charge that does it, or something special in metal."
Instead of metal, Lubomirsky and his colleagues used a pyroelectric material, which can form a short-lived electric field when heated or cooled. The researchers used four pyroelectric crystals, each of which was placed inside a copper cylinder. The bottom surfaces of two crystals were coated with chromium to conduct an electric charge, and the other two were coated with an aluminum oxide to keep the surface uncharged.
The researchers placed the experimental setup in a humid room and turned down the thermostat until water droplets formed on each crystal, then cooled the room further until the water froze.
With no charge on the surface, the water froze at -12.5º C, on average. But on the positively charged surface, water froze at a relatively balmy -7º. And on a negatively charged surface, ice formed, on average, at a chilly -18º.
"It's really dramatic, the strong effect of the charge," says physicist Gene Stanley of
Lubomirsky and colleagues also managed to freeze water by heating it. Water droplets stayed liquid at -11º for up to 10 minutes on a negatively charged surface. But after the negative charge dissipated, heating the room to -8º was enough to induce a positive charge in the pyroelectric crystal and freeze the water.
"That's a very intriguing behavior," comments atmospheric physicist Will Cantrell of Michigan Technological University in Houghton. "In this case, on this particular substance, if you warm it up, you can get it to freeze."
Coauthor Meir Lahav, also of the Weizmann Institute, says water's response to charge probably depends on how the water molecules line up against the surface they're freezing to, though more work is needed to figure out exactly what is happening.
"The water molecules should be aligned differently, so I anticipated that this difference should affect the freezing temperature of ice," Lahav says. "But I didn't expect such a large difference. I'm very much delighted to see that."
Although he has no specific plans to harness the effect for applications such as cryogenic freezing or cloud seeding, Lahav says his team has already filed a patent.
Ice nucleation, "is a very fundamental problem," he says. "The moment you understand better — have a new understanding of a new effect — the applications always come afterwards."

Stunning 1960 Maserati Birdcage up for grabs at RM Monaco
by Drew Phillips (RSS feed) on Apr 16th, 2010 at 11:29AM
While perhaps not as well known or instantly recognizable as the Ferrari 250 TR or the Jaguar D-Type, the Maserati Tipo 61 Birdcage is one of great racecars in that same era. Named for its intricate tubular space frame, the Birdcage was built by Maserati as a privateer racecar. With a weight of just over 1300 pounds and 250 horsepower from the 2.9-liter inline four, the little Maserati proved to be a force to be reckoned with on the racetrack. The car's most famous wins include victories at the 1960 and 1961 at the Nurburgring 1000km race. With just 17 built, the Tipo 61 Birdcage is a... Read More

I've read all the "All about ass" stickies and gathered a lot of helpful info there. Thanks for that!
Pardon the TMI, but I'm wondering how to address cleanliness when bottoming multiple times. The guy I'm with now is like the fucking energizer bunny if you catch my drift. There have been several nights where we've gone at it 4-6 times back to back. Don't get me wrong... I'm not complaining! But after about the second time, the germaphobe in me kicks in and I want to clean up. I'm also deathly afraid that throughout these hours, my body is processing anything left in my colon and I won't be "empty" anymore.
I'm just not sure what the best route is. I've read that you should douche (if you choose to do so) a little while beforehand, so that doesn't seem feasible if there isn't a decent amount of time between rounds.
Any tips?

Pioneer DreamBook ePad 7 Pro Android OS Tablet PC Price and Specs
Last year, an Australian company released Dreambook ePad A10, a Windows Tablet PC. This year, another cheap tablet pc is up for sale by the same company but with an Android OS. Who says you have to shell $600 for a decent dual-core Android tablet PC? Pioneer Computers of Australia is launching a sub-$200 Android 2.2 tablet with their latest Pioneer DreamBook ePad 7 Pro! For only $199, you get a dual-core 1.2GHz ARM processor and 256MB of RAM.
The DreamBook ePad 7 Pro has very good technical specs. It sports the same 7-inch screen size found on the best-selling but far more expensive Samsung Galaxy Tab. It has a multi-touch LCD screen that maxes out at 480 x 800 resolution. The cheap price has drawbacks. The DreamBook ePad 7 Pro only has a tiny 2GB internal storage but that could easily be expanded by the included microSD slot that can handle up to 32GB cards.
There's an optional GPS feature but Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity are already built-in. The DreamBook ePad 7 also supports G-sensor and Haptic feedback controls. The 0.3-megapixel camera is nothing to crow about but at least its already integrated unlike the more expensive Apple iPad which has no camera at all.
Again, this tablet is a good value for your money. Pioneer Computers deserves praise for bringing out what's probably the world's cheapest dual-core Android tablet. The DreamBook ePad 7 Pro is affordable and has all the necessary features you will need in a tablet computer.

November ain't just about turkeys and imperialism anymore. Fun Fun Fun Fest is fixing to get things turnt up once again at Austin's Auditorium Shores come the first weekend of International Drum Month. They've leaked a few bands so far -- relevant to us are southern proggers Baroness, Bob Mould of the legendary Hüsker Dü, hip-hop pioneer Rakim, Mike Patton's Tomahawk, and income tax swag expert Danny Brown. And if you know how big the fest gets, those names account for a tiny portion of what's to come. When could be a better time than now to make a wishlist of who we'd like to see at Fx3?
Read our hologram-free (hey, we gotta put some limits on ourselves) list below. Heads up, some of this is NSFW.
How could these Norwegian hellraisers not be a contender? They've got a new record (Sexual Harassment) out that, while not quite up to the level of the unfuckwithable Apocalypse Dudes, is a banger compared to their more recent output. "Shake Your Shit Machine" should be the biggest song on rock radio, if it weren't for a certain organization that holds a grudge against George Carlin. Turbonegro appeal to many groups -- punks, metalheads, rockers, rollers, shapeshifters, drunks, speed freaks -- and Fx3 is all about crossover appeal. They've been overdue for another Austin appearance, and they're playing LA'S FYF Fest, sometimes a good predictor of what will go down at Fx3. Lots of denim and sailors hats likely in the future.
"Shake Your Shit Machine"
This is more of a Fx3 Nites pick, and Austin currently isn't the hottest market for a one-man "cornfield slam" band, but hear us out. We think Fx3 could break the band and make them into the new Turquoise Jeep. Cemetery Rapist is so ignorant, it makes Mortician look like King Crimson. There's no self-awareness we can discern; Clay Lamanske just doesn't give a fuck. You think Austin, known for its slim Levis and American Apparel tops, can handle a skinny white dude with a chain and a University of Illinois cap? So hilarious, but more important, SO SLAMMING. Basketball shorts will be OK here.
Live in Freeport, IL 11/21/11
Death Grips played last year, and we raved about 'em, but they could really make their mark this year. The Money Store is proving to be one of the best albums this year for hip-hop and electronic music. It's certainly poppier than their debut, Ex-Military, and "I've Seen Footage" could certainly get the crowd jumping in waves. They've still got plenty of their Black Stage aggression, but they could easily bring the ruckus to the Blue or Orange stages this year. And if their label boss, L.A. Reid, comparing them to Whitney Houston can't appeal to Fx3's love of breaking down barriers, what can?
"I've Seen Footage"
They should just be the house band of the food truck court. Their heaviness would make the vegan pizza un-vegan, and thus, delectable!
"Like Broken Glass"
Can you imagine how insane the Black Stage would get? Moreover, could you imagine how buck a Nites show with these dudes could be? They've got a new record in the works, and like Turbonegro, they're already confirmed for FYF fest. Fingers crossed.
"Jane Doe"
Yeah, we just saw them at Chaos in Tejas. Yeah, we saw them at Rites of Darkness not too long ago. Yeah, they get us so jacked up we'll see them again. They're that good.
Live in Berlin 2009
Odd Future aren't buzzing anymore. Who should be their 2012 equivalent? Virgina's Lil' Ugly Mane. For one, few know who this dude really is. We've heard he was in a harsh noise project and/or a black metal band, and that he was also behind a DIY space in Richmond. Not many rappers have the audacity to release a song called "Bitch I'm Lugubrious." The covers for the digital and tape versions of his latest joint, Mista Thug Isolation, show a strong Pen and Pixel influence and do nothing to reveal his identity. He's got the mysteriousness of a limited-to-10-cassettes black metal band, but with the sounds of Spaceghostpurrp (who featured Lil' Ugly Mane on his Blvcklvnd Rvdix 66.6 mixtape) and early Three 6 Mafia. "Slick Rick" has been bumpin' in our trunks all summer, and yours should blare it too.
"Slick Rick"
Just give us a tease. Anything. We know you don't like to tour. But you like tacos, don't you?
"Piss Angel"
Van and I recently saw Blowfly play at the Scoot Inn in Austin, and it was easily one of the best shows we've seen this year. Blowfly is the alias of Clarence Reid, a songwriter for groups such as Sam & Dave and KC and the Sunshine Band who's been releasing X-rated party albums since the 70s. Topics of his songs include fornicating with the devil, disco that made Studio 54 look like Chili's, and how superstars like Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson went about "Begging for Pussy." He's also considered one of the first rappers, laying down "Rapp Dirty" four years prior to "Rapper's Delight." At 73, he's still as nasty as he wants to be, and he's got a tight funk band behind him to help him turn "Soul Man" into "Hole Man" and "Should I Stay or Should I Go" into "Should I Fuck This Big Fat Ho?" Such perseverance cannot be denied. And in classic Blowfly steez, the show we attended was sponsored by FleshLight! The crowd was a little sparse for us, though, so Fx3 should give Mr. Reid the audience he deserves. "Spread Your Cheeks," Austin!
"Blowfly's ABCs"
Friend of Crustcake Daine Vineyard, also the host of KOOP's excellent black metal show Under the Eternal Night, has talked recently of organizing a one-man band fest in Austin. I suggested that Author and Punisher should headline the theoretical festival, and come to think of it, they would be a great addition to Fx3 as well. Tristan Shone is the man behind the machinery -- for real, he builds his own instruments called "drone machines" that produce heaviness most band's can't touch. It's as if Godflesh shifted towards an even more android nature. Just take a listen to Ursus Americanus and become one with machine.

This primer is the best... I have tried so many primers from Smashbox to Urban Decay and all I can say is that this one really kept my face matte and not oily. I brought this primer to Fresno and I did not even have to blot my face not even once.. I love love this primer and will continue to buy.
Mmm... I was expecting more, its like so watery and it doesn't cover my pores at all. I wish this one has SFP like the other primer from NARS, but it's ok but not for the price, I think you pay for what you get, I would pay for this one like 20 dollars not 40, as I did.
It does an OK job as a primer, but the packaging is TERRIBLE! The product gets all over the cap after the first use. The product itself is not too bad, but certainly I am not willing to waste it since it is so expensive.
I know no primer is perfect, my favorite was mac matifiant but they discontinued it. I have used smashbox, reviva and now this. I liked them all because of that soft silicone smooth feel but I am so surprised that nars got such a low rating.
It does not give the feeling of smashbox but it mattifies my skin for several hours. My nose is always shiny but the other areas stay matte for the most of the day which is much better than the ones listed above. I like this product and will purchase again.
This is crap. It made my skin oily and my makeup melted off.
I've been looking for a decent primer for quite some time. I have, for the most part, combination skin. I went into Sephora specifically asking for a primer that was oil-free that would smooth my pores and keep my make up on all day, but was also friendly enough to not make me break out. I was immediately pointed to this and took a leap of faith (Especially considering the outrageous price!) At first I was pleased, but after about a week or so of using it, I started breaking out horribly. It's very liquidy and I really didn't see much of any difference between my makeup being on before or after-besides the fact that I now had to camoflauge the breakouts caused by this. My hunt for a great primer is going to have to continue.
Unfortunately, NARS pro prime was my ever first primer. When I first purchased in Bangkok departmental store, was about 1200 baht. I find the packaging pretty inconvenient as it keep leaking out after my first usage. And the only thing I found appropriate was the citrus smell. It's kind of watery-like, but after applying, it doesn't seems to soak into my skin. end of the day, I went home with clogged pores. Aftermath, breakouts.

I have oily skin and I use the Nars Matte Foundation which works great with my skin.... however thought I would try this oil free primer and all i can say is that my skin was still oily and it made my skin break out in spots! will never use again!

I know I did not give this a high overall rating ...but I do have my reasons and here they are...(I have combination skin, dry on the cheeks and normal on the forehead/t-zone)
Generally, I do not need a foundation primer. However, I received a small sample of this from Sephora because I knew that I would want to use a foundation primer for nights when I go out so that my makeup stays fresh and non-shiny. The sephora SA led me to this primer as it is oil-free and helps diffuse the appearance of pores (which is not a problem for me).
I used it on my face on a day where it was quite humid outside, sunny, and where I had to wear foundation for the whole day. I only used the tiniest bit all over my face, especially areas such as my T-Zone, chin and cheeks. The texture is a light cream - not the typical consistency of face primers, but somewhat more thinner in consistency and spreads out easily.
With the tiniest amount applied evenly on my face, my foundation was still able to stay on my face without fading for 12 hours. It looked as if I freshly applied foundation. In addition, my face stayed non-shiny. Of course, I did have some oily spots peer through, but who wouldn't when you wear foundation for 12 hours?
I have never had a problem with the silicone content within primers and so I never broke out to this product/ or had any irritation to my skin.
I did not notice a scent (oops). The packaging is alright - just a squeeze bottle. The only thing I do not like is the price (which is the main reason why I gave this such a low rating). You get 1oz of product for $38 CDN before taxes. That is quite a considerable amount to pay for a face primer. I know that with quality comes with price, but I would not spend that much still, especially because I do not require a primer on an everyday basis. However, that being said, I would purchase/ or ask for another sample because this product delivers and does not irritate my skin.

I got a sample tube of this from sephora and use it on certian spots where i tend to get oily- forehead, chin. it does help with decreasing shine. It is a pain to have to apply two different primers being careful not to mix/double cover areas so I usually just use my regular primer and use a shine absorbing sheet later in the day. I have combination skin and know from past experience that if I used this all over I would have dry flaky patches so thats why I only use it in oily areas. I am pretty sure there are other similar products so I may or may not repurchase this.

We're so confident that you'll hug your monitor when you see your new website, that we're giving you an indestructible DOUBLE GUARANTEE!
This money-back guarantee takes all the RISK OFF YOU and puts our head directly on the chopping block.
So you want to get a website up and running, huh? This raises a whole list of questions for you as the site owner.
What should my site look like? What should the site do? Do I want a theme that matches my ecommerce website? What about colors? Text style?
What do I want to achieve with my site?
While all these are major questions for you as the owner, there is one more question that is vitally important
to the success of your site. That question is: Which affordable ecommerce web designer do I use and how much will this cost?
Which business web designer do I use?
I would suggest that you look around, make a few phone calls and get at least three quotes. Ask what the designer's
abilities are. For instance, if you are looking for a Flash site, you will need a Flash designer. Get the idea?
What will the cost be?
When looking at the cost involved, don't just think about the immediate outlay. Look at the future output of the site
and think about what the end result of income will be. Remember that there is a difference between cheap web design
and affordable web design.
Know what you want before you come to the table.
So you've contacted a designer and you are going to meet for the initial design conference. Keep in mind that the
designer you have hired has no idea what you are really looking for. So this first meeting is fact finding. Do not
Lose your objective of affordable ecommerce web design.
Normally the initial meetings are incorporated into the job quote, but you can make it a lot easier on the designer
by simply knowing what you want before you come to the deal table. There are many choices to be made here, so I have
compiled a list. This list is not comprehensive, but gives you a real good idea what to bring to the table and should
help you find and keep a cheap bottom line for web design.
1) Should I use a template or build my ecommerce website from scratch? Building from scratch will cost more and be more time consuming.
There are many templates available that can make your site individual.
2) Consider your logo and ensure it doesn't crowd your content. You want the focus of the visitor to be the content of the page. Affordable business web design will accomplish this easily.
3) Hosting is a major consideration. Be sure to think on where you want to end up with this. Say you start with a 10 page site that you want to grow to a 100 Affordable Ecommerce Web Design page site with each page averaging 100kb, then you will need at least 10mb hosting
space. To be safe, triple that so you have a little breathing room. NOTE: Do not pay for more than you need here. That would be wasteful. This is where you can keep your business web design affordable.
4) Build from scratch or use open source software? I would definitely try to use open source software. It will keep costs down and provides more flexibility down the line.
5) Layout is another biggie for the site owner. The best thing I can think of here is to actually sketch it out and show your designer what it should look like. Should the header be graphical or textual? Do I want one or two sidebars? These are all simple things that, if you know them out front, will reduce the cost outlay for the site. Remember: cheap web design.
6) Style. Tell your designer specifically what style you want the site to be. For instance, tell him you want it to look glossy, shiny, clean cut, simple, etc.
7) If your site has a theme, be sure to incorporate it into the discussion with your designer. Colors will also be determined by the theme, if there is one. If you want a musical theme, have the designer build around musical instruments or notes on a staff.
So it is important to bring a lot of ideas to the table when hiring a ecommerce web designer. Know what you want, how you want it to
look and what you want to do and your costs will be as low as possible.

Your birthday is an inescapable mark, one of a small number of qualities in life you can never change, that accompanies you everywhere. Think about how often you write out or speak aloud those eight digits; they are one of the core confirmations of your identity, now and forever. I'm "Elijah Wolfson," but to many I'm also "09/20/1985."
The immutability of one's nativity may be why so many are drawn to astrology—according to a 2009 Harris Poll, a full 26 percent of Americans believe in astrology (less than the number of UFO believers, but more than those that accept reincarnation as truth). Astrology builds on your birthday, giving it a meaning that goes well beyond that arbitrary 24-hour period so many years ago, of which you have no functional memory. It purports to help us understand the world through a system of relationships between astrological phenomena and human experience. Today, it takes its most popular form in the horoscope, found mostly in pop culture magazine and websites, and often focusing on foretelling the reader's future in the realms of love and money.
But astrology was once a wholly scholarly and scientific endeavor. For example, medical astrology, or "iatromathematics," stretches as far back as the field of medicine itself. "This is one of the longest standing intellectual traditions on the planet," says Lauren Kassell, professor at the University of Cambridge's Department of History and Philosophy of Science. Kassell researches the history of astrological medicine. "For centuries it was common practice for educated physicians to use astrology as one of their tools," she says. Hippocrates, whose namesake oath is, to this day, still sworn to by all who enter the field, has been attributed to the saying "a physician without knowledge of astrology has no right to call himself a physician."
These days, astrology has lost some of its luster, and is generally assumed to be bunk by the scientific community. Their argument: while its lush symbolism and universal symmetry were somewhat effective explanatory models back when we were in the dark, we now can see 13.2 billion light years into space and take picture of things half the width of a hydrogen atom, and it no longer seems particularly wise to choose when to operate based on where Jupiter sits in the sky.
But there's something to astrology that rationalists have to contend with: The season of your birth, it turns out, appears to have a strong influence on your future. Depending on whether you were born in the spring, summer, fall, or winter, you could have a higher or lower risk for: schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis, sleep disorders, Type 1 diabetes, bipolar disorder, and allergies, among others. The season of your birth also seems to affect how long you live.
On their own, these individual studies could be the result of abnormal grouping, just random, scattered, clusters. But accumulated, a pattern emerges, begging the question: Is there any science behind the dusty old pickup line "what's your sign?"
Many contemporary scientists are loath to admit to anything resembling astrology. "It seems absurd that the month you are born/conceived can affect your future life chances," write neuroscientists Russell G. Foster and Till Roenneberg in a 2008 study. They then go on to then point out no fewer than 24 different health disorders connected to season of birth, and ultimately admit "despite human isolation from season changes in temperature, food, and photoperiod in the industrialized nations, the seasons still appear to have a small, but significant impact upon when individuals are born and many aspects of health."
The problem may be that there's no clear underlying mechanism for the observed phenomena. Theories range from levels of maternal vitamin D levels during pregnancy to seasonal viral and bacterial exposure.
"We know that there is this weird connection between seasonal birth and certain disorders, but we don't know why," says Chris Ciarleglio, a neuroscientist currently working as a postdoctoral fellow at Brown University. Figuring out the methodology, the "why," is Ciarleglio's primary research interest. A few years back, a team of researchers—John Axley, Benjamin Strauss, and Karen Gamble—working under Doug McMahon in the McMahon Lab at Vanderbilt uncovered perhaps the most compelling solution to date—one that, in theory, should please hard-line advocates of the scientific method and astrologers alike. It starts with a clock.
By now it's popular knowledge that all humans have an internal clock or "circadian rhythm" that regulates our sleep/wake cycle. But this clock does much more than just tell us when to wake up every morning; it is central to all life functions. Cell growth, death, and reproduction; the functioning of digestive tissue, lungs, heart, and liver; patterns of social behavior—it's all controlled by your biological clock.
If the clock is stable, things go according to plan: your body makes all its appointments. The problem is that no matter how perfectly genetically calibrated your clock, it'll have to face the outside world, where a slew of environmental factors can permanently (and potentially negatively) alter how well it works. That's where the season of your birth comes into play.

Tapering Timbers: Finding the Volume of Conical Frustums
Dustin L. Jones and Max Coleman
March 2012, Volume 105, Issue 7, Page 500
Many everyday objects—paper cups, muffins, and flowerpots—are examples of conical frustums. Shouldn't the volume of such figures have a central place in the geometry curriculum?

Russia's insular transportation industry is belatedly opening up to the outside world as the nation's thirst for imported goods slots it into global supply chains.
State-owned Russian Railways plans to bid for ports and rail assets being sold by cash-strapped Greece. The new CEO of Fesco, operator of the country's largest ocean carrier, is a former McKinsey & Co. partner with degrees from universities in Texas and Missouri. Nefte Trans Service, a private rail freight operator, is expected to launch a $500 million initial public offering on the London Stock Exchange where several Russian rail and port operators are listed.
APM Terminals' $860 million acquisition of a 37.5 percent stake in Global Ports last September is the largest direct foreign investment in Russia's transportation sector to date and could pave the way for further big-ticket deals from abroad. That the deal was announced in a filing to the London Stock Exchange, where 25 percent of Global Ports' stock is traded, testifies to the growing international outlook of Russia's transportation industry.
Russian ports and rail freight companies, now mostly under private ownership following sweeping deregulation and privatizations over the past decade also are accelerating consolidation to boost market share and reap economies of scale. Summa, a $10 billion-a-year energy, telecommunications and engineering conglomerate, acquired control of Fesco, operator of Russia's largest ocean carrier, in December. Global Ports is negotiating a $1 billion-plus takeover of National Container, Russia's biggest container terminal operator. Globaltrans, a rail freight company that's also quoted in London, was forced to deny recent market talk that it's weighing a bid for Nefte Trans Service, its closest rival.
Russian oligarchs have benefited from deregulation to build large rail freight portfolios, underscoring the financial potential of the transportation sector. Universal Cargo Logistics, owned by billionaire Vladimir Lisin, controls a fleet of 200,000 railcars following its acquisition of Freight One from Russian Railways.
Other operators have expanded by acquiring the captive rail units of industrial companies, but this is a diminishing source of growth, with steelmakers Severstal and Mechel among the few major companies yet to shed these non-core assets. This has enabled some rail operators to post spectacular growth rates, including NTS, which was founded by four entrepreneurs in 2006 with a fleet of 400 railcars and today operates 57,000 units transporting more than 8 percent of Russia's rail cargo traffic.
The slowing Russian economy likely will accelerate mergers and acquisitions. "The current market environment may well be a catalyst for further consolidation," Russian freight rail operator said in March. "Smaller rail operators are increasingly deprived of access to premium cargo bases as well as being impacted by recent market headwinds." Earlier in that month, Globaltrans completed a $335 million acquisition of MMK-Trans, which operates 3,500 railcars serving Magnitogorsk Iron & Steel.
Russian Railways, whose cargo market share dipped below 50 percent for the first time in 2010, has been selling off some of its freight subsidiaries, but it's also leveraging its massive financial strength to move into new markets, at home and abroad. It signaled its international ambitions with November's $1.25 billion takeover of Gefco, the transportation and logistics arm of French automaker PSA Peugeot-Citroen, which it portrayed as the first step in its bid to become a global logistics giant like Germany's Deutsche Post DHL.
The company now is turning its attention to Greece, where it plans to bid for the bankrupt nation's second-largest port, Thessaloniki, and two rail service and maintenance companies worth an estimated $185 million.
In another sign of Russia's more outward-looking stance, Russian Railways said it's ready to bid with a foreign partner, Reseau Ferre de France, though the Russian company's hands are tied by the government, its sole shareholder, which will have a say in any decision over foreign investments. The Kremlin, however, plans to loosen its grip by unloading a 5 percent stake by the end of 2014 and another 20 percent two years later.
Rail owes its massive 85 percent share of Russia's freight market to the huge track infrastructure built during the Soviet era and the poor state of the nation's roads and neglected inland waterways that makes it the only form of transportation for large areas of the vast nation.
This imbalanced modal split has hindered the growth of Western-style third-party logistics, with many companies forced to arrange their own transportation and distribution. One of those shippers is Magnit, a fast-growing budget supermarket chain that operates a fleet of 4,500 trucks to supply its 7,100 stores.
A recent survey by global real estate company Colliers International put Moscow and St. Petersburg at the bottom of 40 European cities for logistics competence, highlighting the yawning gap between Russia and the rest of the industrialized world.
The air freight industry's move abroad to keep pace with Russia's expanding trade links has had mixed results, with the largest operators struggling to survive in the depressed global market. Aeroflot is mothballing its three MD-11 freighters, and Polet Airlines reportedly told customers it will ground its three IL-96 aircraft because of sluggish demand and low rates. Volga-Dnepr's core Antonov-124 charter operation has seen a sharp decline in heavy-lift and project business, and AirBridgeCargo, its ambitious scheduled airline unit, is facing tough times as it struggles to fill its expensive new 747-8 freighters.
Worse, just weeks after it acquired a 49 percent stake in AirCargoGermany in April, the carrier was grounded after an audit by German aviation authorities showed it didn't have sufficient cash to operate over the next 12 months. The outlook for freighters in the domestic market is even grimmer as passenger airlines boost their belly-hold cargo capacity as they renew and expand their fleets to meet the demand from Russia's growing middle class.
Russia's ocean container market has posted average annual growth of more than 15 percent in the past five years, but domestic ship owners have failed to take advantage even on the booming feeder trades from North European ports such as Hamburg. Even as trade expands, Fesco recently announced it had sold half of its fleet as its shipping unit moves from owning and managing ships to supporting liner and logistics operations.
The transportation sector is bracing for tougher times as the Russian economy, which was growing about 7 percent annually a few years ago, is stalling. Growth in the first five months of 2013 slowed to 1.8 percent compared to 4.5 percent in the first half of 2012, partly because of shrinking demand for energy and raw materials, key rail cargoes.
Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged that inadequate transportation infrastructure is a major obstacle to economic growth when he announced a $14 billion investment in three massive projects, including an upgrade of the Trans-Siberian Railway, at June's St. Petersburg Economic Forum.
"Our key challenge in the coming years is to remove many infrastructure restraints that literally stifle our country and prevent unlocking the potential of our regions," Putin told foreign business representatives attending the forum. The Kremlin also is prepared to spend up to half of an $88 billion reserve fund on infrastructure, he said.
There's no denying the pent-up potential of Russia's underdeveloped transportation sector, particularly if the Kremlin accelerates privatization and deregulation and makes good on its investment pledges.
A.P. Moller-Maersk is in for the long haul, eyeing further investment opportunities, even though Global Ports shares have fallen more 10 percent since it acquired its stake in September. "Irrespective of the fact the market has been cooling, we continue to be convinced that Russia is a growth economy and the increase of the middle class will give a basis for continued growth," CEO Nils Smedegaard said.
Smedegaard, who attended the St. Petersburg Forum, said he would not exclude any of A.P. Moller-Maersk's units — Maersk Line, APM Terminals, Maersk Oil and Maersk Drilling — from expanding in Russia.
That's some recommendation from a company that runs one of the world's most successful transportation operations.

Maltese Breeder of Majesty Maltese
EMAIL : Carrie
a Maltese Puppy
or Maltese Adult Retiree
you set out to buy a maltese puppy or maltese
adult that has been retired there are questions
that you should ask yourself or a maltese breeder
will ask you. Following are some suggestions to
follow in your search for a Maltese.
To the maltese puppy buyer, the first thing to
know is who in the home wants to buy the Maltese
puppy? Is the whole family in agreement in
wanting the maltese puppy? Please go
to this site to take a test to determine if
the maltese may be right for you. Buying a puppy
is a huge emotional and financial decision no
matter what your circumstances become. Make
sure that all involved do indeed feel
comfortable with the commitment and all desire
the Maltese breed for a pet. Having a puppy is
constant upkeep and they require a great deal of
time to potty train. Also there is obedience and
teaching the puppy the routine to fit into your
lifestyle and rules of your household. Please
study about training of obedience and potty
training before you buy your Maltese puppy.
Often dogs end up in shelters due to the fact of
behavior of the dog or the circumstances that
the owners could not take on the responsibility
of the dog any longer. Maltese require a lot of
attention and love. They are a companion breed
and they are happiest to be very close to you
and your daily task and relaxing with you as you
watch television, Maltese feel the closer they
are to you the better.
How long does a Maltese live?
A maltese
dog will live an average lifespan of 13 years.
How much space does a Maltese require?
Maltese is an AKC toy breed that does not require all
that much space. An average size apartment or house
would be just fine for the Maltese dog to content. A
secure fenced yard is nice for them to play and get
fresh air and sunshine but a maltese should not be left
alone due to the dangers of them eating dangerous
plants, having wild animals attack them, and sometimes
maltese get stolen by an envious onlooker.
How big do Maltese grow to be?
come in many different sizes due to the fact there are
many "types" of Maltese being bred out there. The AKC
Maltese standard states "4-6 pounds". Some Maltese
breeders do not breed to AKC standard, so the Maltese
may be quite a bit larger and often they are bred to be
even smaller than the 4-6 pounds due to the popularity
of the marketed "teacup maltese". The "teacup Maltese"
is not part of the AKC Maltese standard as the Poodle
that has three AKC sizes. There is only one AKC
standard for the AKC Maltese dog breed. As a rule of
thumb, the puppy can be weighed at 12 weeks old the
weight can be doubled and add a half a pound added to
estimate an adult size. Please keep in mind there are
many factors that can effect the growth.
parents and grandparents etc., of the puppy have the
biggest role in the adult weight of the puppy. Ask the
breeder about the heritage. The health, nutrition also
affects the size of the puppy so make sure they have
been given a clean bill of health from the breeders
Do Maltese shed?
Maltese do
have hair so yes they shed, within reason. They are a
single coated breed, they do not have an "undercoat" as
most dogs do that is commonly seen after the dog shed
their coat with the season and hair gets everywhere. The
Maltese has hair similar in texture to that of a human.
They lose some hair when they are brushed and groomed.
The Maltese also does well for allergy sufferers doe to
the fact that they do not have dander. If the Maltese
is brushed daily and groomed regularly they do not have
the small that many dogs breeds have.
Do Maltese do well with other dogs?
are known for their brave little attitudes and
dispositions. A Maltese does not realize how little
they really are. That being said, maltese are very
outgoing with other animals including dogs. The problem
comes in when Maltese is allowed to be with other dogs
and the other dog is too rough or too large. The
question is has that other dog been around other small
toy breed dogs? Even if it is another maltese has that
other maltese shown any signs of jealousy around other
dogs? If you decide the maltese should be fine with
your current dog, please be sure to let the maltese
breeder know you have another dog before you have
purchased the new maltese puppy. The breeder will know
the correct puppy available that will be fine with
another dogs based on size, and temperament. Always be
sure to introduce the puppy slowly to the current dog of
the household so they both can adjust smoothly.
What age is a Maltese ready for their new
A Maltese
breeder should not let a Maltese puppy got o their new
home until 12 weeks old at the youngest. Maltese
puppies are very tiny and mature slower on some things
then larger breeds. Maltese baby teeth take longer to
erupt which makes it harder to a puppy to eat and also
is a risk of hypoglycemia if the puppy is not eating
enough. Maltese puppies also eat in very small amounts
and need to eat more often to also keep that blood sugar
high enough to prevent an onset of hypoglycemia. At 12
weeks old if the puppy is at least 2 pounds and has been
given a clean bill of health by a veterinarian the
puppies should be fine going to their new homes.
What is the average cost of a Maltese?
are not a cheap breed when they have been bred correctly
and also raised correctly by the Maltese breeder.
The quality
and cost of a Maltese very greatly. There are puppy
mills, pet stores, that have puppies that come from
puppy brokers, and also there are back yard breeders
that love their dogs but do not know or care to uphold
the AKC Maltese standard. They put their Muffy and
Buffy together to "have just one litter". They often
know nothing of where the puppy came from because they
bought it from a pet store or out of the newspaper. So
they have bred two Maltese that they know very little
about the health or heritage of the puppies' parents and
now they are selling those puppies, it can be a total
disaster. Then there are show breeders. Show breeders
invest years into buying, showing, studying the Maltese
breed and spend a great deal of their life to better the
Maltese breed through very carefully planned decisions
for their lines and their show career. The main thing
that separates one type of breeder from another is the
breeder's ethics. Not all dogs bred and their puppies
that are sold are equal that is why the buyer has to do
their research. If a breeder owns 100 maltese dogs or
more they breed on a massive scale and can sell puppies
for maybe an average of $500.00. If a breeder is just
putting their two pets together and has a litter with no
complications and sells them in the local newspaper they
also maybe able to sell for an average of $500.00. The
maltese breeder like myself that shows maltese in AKC
confirmation, top notch medical care by top
veterinarians, health care screening, and also grooming
and the very best nutrition have a much higher price on
the puppies that are for sale.
What is the difference between a Maltese show
dog and a Maltese pet?
breeding is done the breeder can see things on paper and
do their research, but simply put on a first time
breeding between two adults the breeder cannot tell what
those two dogs may produce when put together for future
show dogs. After the puppies are born the puppies have
stages of growth and development that the breeder
watches for. They watch for black pigmentation, coat
texture, structure of the bones for optimum movement,
the bite must be edge to edge or a scissor bite as the
AKC Maltese standard calls for.
other thing they watch for is temperament. To be a show
dog the puppy must have an outgoing confident
personality for the competitive show ring. This is only
a few of the things the breeder will be watching for.
The maltese breeder will let the puppies go for one of
these things listed or another small thing that a pet
owner would most likely not even notice or be bothered
by and it will make a wonderful lifelong darling maltese
pet no matter what little "flaws" it has.
How often do Maltese need grooming?
Maltese love to play and they do get dirty
especially if they play outside. If they do play
outside they will need a weekly or bi-weekly bath. They
will need to be brushed daily or every other day to stay
matt free and free of the leaves and dirt they pick up
in their coat. If the pet owner decides to keep the
puppy in a "puppy cut" a short casual cut then the puppy
will need to be groomed approximately every 6-8 weeks.
What causes tear staining and how to get rid
of it?
I often get emails inquiring on to get rid of the
ugly tear staining that maltese can get on their face
and mouth. Tear staining is seen in white dogs and
white cats. The PH balance in the tears of these white
coated animals effects the coats and facial hair of
these getting discolored. We first see tear staining
when the puppy starts to grow facial hair that happened
to get fluffy and pokes the puppies in the eyes, then
following that when they get their baby puppy teeth in,
the pressure of the erupting teeth puts pressure on the
muzzle and cause them to tear more. If the puppy is a
pet or going to a pet home I will trim the hair from the
corner of the eyes which is sometimes called "scooping
the eyes" by groomers. I also sometimes use a think
conditioner to tame down the hairs that are poking the
eyes. There is a products called "Kolostral" sold at
Sally Beauty Supply that can be used for this. Just a
small dab will do wonders. If I have a maltese that is
going to be shown I do not trim the hair but again I
keep the face very clean washing daily and when the hair
gets long enough I band the hair with a top knot
rubber band and keep the hair out of the eyes.
Do maltese have any cream on them or are they solid
Maltese should be primarily white however the coat can
have some lemon in it one the ears or on the body, it
usually lightens with age. Here is what the AKC standard
coat is single, that is, without undercoat. It hangs
long, flat, and silky over the sides of the body almost,
if not quite, to the ground. The long head-hair may be
tied up in a topknot or it may be left hanging. Any
suggestion of kinkiness, curliness, or woolly texture is
objectionable. Color, pure white. Light tan or lemon on
the ears is permissible, but not desirable."

tear staining.

An Interesting Experiment!!!

|Sun, 01-29-2012 - 8:37pm
Well the results are in....
Two weeks ago I embarked on an experiment to see if I could guesstimate how I was spending my money and staying somewhat within budget.
For the past 14 months I have meticulously tracked spending down to the penny and got tired of the drudgery of it.
|Sun, 01-29-2012 - 9:32pm
lol :) i did the exact same thing for years! yes, years. and to save my life or limbs i could not tell you where that money went.
i keep track of my spending in a baby notebook i keep in my purse and round up the nearest whole dollar to keep the math really easy so i cannot avoid doing it.
|Mon, 01-30-2012 - 7:05am
We use Quicken to track our spending, and I couldn't live without it, at least because I would never know what exactly we have in our checking accounts and what bills have been paid, not paid, etc.
|Mon, 01-30-2012 - 10:35am
Our issue was spending on the kids, now the kids are in college and it is amazing that I still have $80 in my wallet sometimes on payday, before I get money out for the period.
I have been tracking for 4 years now.
|Mon, 01-30-2012 - 12:03pm
I actually don't track it per say.
All of my money goes somewhere when I get paid and there isn't usually much left over if any because I tell the money where to go. Some to sinking funds to pay things later, some to bills, some to mortgage, some to savings. I don't really ever feel the need to use a credit card because I know there won't be anything to pay it off with.

Are there any opportunities in Laos for business and global trade? From the data we've collected, it doesn't seem likely that there are many business opportunities in Laos right now that really stand out when compare to doing business in other countries. Let's take a look a
Laos is a single-party socialist republic. The capital city is Vientiane. Other large cities include Luang Prabang, Savannakhet and Pakse. The official language is Lao. Most people are Lao with a significant proportion of indigenous peoples as well. It is a rising power in providing electricity to neighboring countries such as Thailand, China and Vietnam and the economy is accelerating rapidly with the demands for its metals, as reported by the Financial Times. It is a member of the Asia-Pacific Trade Agreement, Association of Southeast Asian Nations, East Asia Summit and La Francophonie. Its population was estimated to be 6.5 million in 2012, by the US State Department.
The Lao economy depends heavily on investment and trade with its neighbours, Thailand, Vietnam, and, especially in the north, China. Pakxe has also experienced growth based on cross-border trade with Thailand and Vietnam. In 2011, the Lao Securities Exchange began trading. Subsistence agriculture still accounts for half of the GDP and provides 80% of employment. Only 4.01% of the country is arable land, and 0.34% used as permanent crop land,the lowest percentage in the Greater Mekong Subregion, as reported by the Asian Development Bank. Rice dominates agriculture, with about 80% of the arable land area used for growing rice. Approximately 77% of Lao farm households are self-sufficient in rice, as reported by the Lao_IRRI Project. The economy receives development aid from the IMF, ADB and other international sources, and foreign direct investment for development of the society, industry, hydropower and mining, most notably copper and gold. Tourism is the fastest-growing industry in the country. Economic development in Laos has been hampered by brain drain, with a skilled emigration rate of 37.4% in 2000, as reported by the World Bank.
Laos is rich in mineral resources but imports petroleum and gas. Metallurgy is an important industry, and the government hopes to attract foreign investment to develop the substantial deposits of coal, gold, bauxite, tin, copper and other valuable metals. In addition, the country's plentiful water resources and mountainous terrain enable it to produce and export large quantities of hydroelectric energy. Of the potential capacity of approximately 18,000 megawatts, around 8,000 megawatts have been committed for exporting to Thailand and Vietnam, as mentioned in a report by the Asian Development Bank. The tourism sector has grown rapidly, from 80,000 international visitors in 1990, to 1.876 million in 2010. Tourism is expected to contribute US$679.1 million to gross national product in 2010, rising to US$1,585.7 million by 2020. In 2010, one in every 10.9 jobs was in the tourism sector. Export earnings from international visitors and tourism goods are expected to generate 15.5% of total exports or US$270.3 million in 2010, growing in nominal terms to US$484.2 million (12.5% of total) in 2020, as predicted by the World Travel & Tourism Council.
Overall, there are still some major problems with trading in Laos. The market is still relatively poor to sell into, with a nominal GDP per capita measured at $1,003.71 by the IMF in 2010. In turn the nominal GDP was also small, at $6.341 billion. The World Bank also ranked Laos at 165th in its Ease of Doing Business rankings for 2012, so it was ranked in the very lowest tier of countries. The same survey ranked Laos 182nd for Protecting Investors, 168th for Trading Across Borders, and 110th for Enforcing Contracts. So clearly these rankings indicate, that Laos still has a long way to go before its considered as a friendly environment for businesses to invest in.

Body Alignment
The human body breaks down because there is dis-harmony, meaning the body contracts. As a result, the body takes on the form of the dis-harmony and reflects it back for us to feel, observe and change OR, ignore and suffer the consequences.
Esoteric Body Alignment Therapy plays an important role in identifying and correcting these patterns in the body, that ultimately refer back to a root condition. The technique helps the body to self-correct, so it can heal before it creates more severe latter stage illnesses.
If the body is treated with the affectionate care it deserves, as part of an ongoing loving ritual, it will not only perform/function better (self-correct) as we would conventionally imagine, it also helps the human mind to accept its true purpose by becoming more aware of its responsibility in keeping the whole in harmony.
This gentle. non-manipulative technique is beneficial for all as it dissolves muscle memories and restores the true spherical nature of the joints thereby helping the body to free itself of restrictive behavioural patterns and to create space in the body for healing to occur. It is particularly useful in the treatment of structural issues, physical aches and pains such as back pain, general stiffness, frozen shoulders and helping in the mending of broken bones. It is also very supportive with other treatments.
