Lignol Reports Fiscal 2013 Financial Results
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will continue its operations for the foreseeable future and contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The conditions and risks noted above cast significant doubt on the validity of that assumption.
These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary and could potentially be material, should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
LEC has historically financed its working capital requirements largely through public and private sales of equity securities, and more recently through access to a line of credit. The ongoing funding requirements of its wholly owned subsidiary LIL were met out of these funds together with funds received directly by LIL in the form of government grants and corporate contributions. LEC's recent investments in ARW and TBF have also been made out of its general working capital and from the Company's line of credit with DCF.At April 30, 2013, LEC and its subsidiaries, had $2.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and up to $2.9 million in future funding receivable from contracted government and corporate funding agreements, and $10.9 million in current liabilities. The Company had a $3.1 million surplus in net shareholders' equity after taking into account an accumulated deficit of $35.7 million. The $2.9 million in funding receivable in the future from contracted government and corporate funding agreements has not yet been recognized in the financial statements. This remaining balance of funding is available in the future subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the relevant agreements, which includes LIL completing the body of work required in respect of the previous round of funding, demonstrating the ability to incur in the future the budgeted program expenditures, and continuing to meet all of its reporting requirements. Receipt of this additional funding is also conditional in certain cases upon having sufficient matching funds and completion of the funding agreements and there can be no assurance that this funding will be received. The funding receivable under these awards is intended to be applied against future expenses incurred under various development programs. As noted in the LEC Going Concern note above, in order to continue funding its operations, LEC will continue to explore a number of different options. There can be no assurance that LEC will be able to obtain further financing on favourable terms and in such event, LEC's working capital may not be sufficient to meet its stated business objectives (see also "Risks and Uncertainties").

English crown, in 1662, as a portion of the dowry of Catherine of Portugal, the wife of Charles II. In the year 1714, the Rev. Richard Cobbe, A.M. was appointed, by the East India Company, chaplain to this settlement; and having "considered," he says, in an appendix printed with his sermon, "the inconvenience, and unsuitableness withal, of performing our public devotions in so private a manner as we did in this fort, having only two upper rooms beat into one, which served us for a chapel, and being locked up in the castle during divine according to the use of the Church of England; that all the island might see we had some religion among us, and that the heathens might in time be brought over as converts to our profession." He accordingly recommended this good work in public sermon, and by his zeal and influence at length succeeded in obtaining contributions to the amount of 5,000l. towards which the East India Company subscribed l,000l.; and with this sum, a plain, spacious, and substantial church was erected, 170 feet in length, and 70 feet broad: "large enough," he adds, " for a cathedra." Application was made to the Bishop of London for permission to consecrate it; but the reply was, that this could not be done without the presence of a Bishop. On Christmas-day, 1718, however, the church was open for divine service, "dressed," says Mr. Cobbe, " with palm branches and plantain trees, the pillars adorned with wreaths of greens, and the double crosses over the arches looked like so many stars in the firmament. A whole crowd of black people stood round about, (Rammagee and all his caste), who were so well pleased with the decency and regularity of our way of worship, that they stood it out t...

Colonics also stray into the other major gray area of juice-fasting and detox-dieting in general: They're supposedly one more way of ridding oneself of built-up toxinsthat one-word catchall for all the chemical ills of modern life. For every food guru who claims we can aid the body's detox process, there is a medical school full of doctors who say we can't. "There are toxins in everything you eat, drink, and breathe. Some occur naturally in foods, some are created by your body during exercise and digestion, some are from artificial additives, and some come from environmental sources," Canfield says. "There's no doubtthe more you're exposed to, the higher the chance you'll get sick from them."
The question, however, is just how much our own built-in purification plantthe liver and the kidneyscan flush out. Regular fasters like Martin believe our systems, which were designed long before preservatives and fake sweeteners infiltrated our diets, need backup; his powdered potions include the iZO Sponge, aka the "intestinal drawing formula," which contains a rather unappetizing mix of activated charcoal and zeolite and volcanic benzonite clays, and an iZO Detoxo drink made from a raw fermented seaweed and mushrooms he claims bind to heavy metals.
Canfield is skeptical. "I'm not aware of any herbs or supplements that have been proven to help 'draw' toxins out of the body," she says. They may not be necessary anyway. "Even mercury, an environmental heavy metal that does stay in the body for some time, can be eliminated and detoxified naturally over time," she says.
I'm not dedicated enough to the cause to Hoover out my colon just yet. Besides, whether there's any wisdom in taking a break from digestion or notand even if detoxing turns out to be a total shamjuicing appeals to me for a different reason: I fantasize about a clean slate, a break from my normal eating habits that would allow me to press the lifestyle reset button. Canfield and Rosenthal sagely point out that getting healthier and cleaning up your act doesn't require quitting food altogether; they say adopting a long-term "clean" whole foods diet would do as much for us, if not more. Which sounds great, if you happen to be equipped with ironclad willpower and, even better, a personal chef. A few days of juicing, I reasoned, could be just the dietary jump start I needed.
The key, according to Martin, is "divorcing yourself from the idea that you need solid food." A ridiculous and suspiciously eating-disorderesque mandate, to be sure, but, I soon learned, one that is surreally doable. Abstaining was about as much fun as filing taxes the night I sipped cashew-nut milk and watched a friend heartlessly wolf down fried chicken. But while I missed the sensation of fullness, technically, my body was getting along just fine without it. Plus, by day two, all withdrawal symptoms had passed; my eyes seemed brighter, and I woke up looking depuffed even without coffee. And shedding six pounds in five days without getting anywhere near a treadmill is enough to make a girl wonder if she'll ever go solid again.

Is Dissociative Identity Disorder Real?
One of the more interesting, and also infuriating, debates is the question of whether dissociative identity disorder is real or not. Some say it should be subsumed under another disorder (usually borderline personality disorder is the most often mentioned) and that it's a harmful diagnosis and causes those labelled with it to unnecessarily suffer. Many of these people also say that the disorder is largely iatrogenic, meaning caused by the process of therapy or caused by a societal pressure.
15 years ago, I debated online about this in a largely naive and idealistic manner. I'm not so much naive or idealistic nowadays.
The issue can get quite complicated, in part because those of us with dissociative disorders commonly switch in and out of self states based on our level of internal presence or cohesiveness or external demands. It's not uncommon to be in a part of ourselves who thinks nothing is wrong. We have learned to partition our internal experiences so well for so long, that eventually it becomes not all that hard. Then we can more easily agree with those who say it's not real. But these are merely denial states. The denial or seemingly "completely well" states often give us a little reprieve, but they rarely last long. When they do last long, it usually means there is a significant crash of reality to come.
The debate in the psychiatric community is really a "no win" debate. Not only are there conflicts about the existence of the disorder, but I am sure you all know there are conflicts about the validity of repressed memories. But that's a topic for another day. Both debates are not strictly "winnable" because each side does have some valid points. And each side is beholden to their point of view.
I sometimes do get sucked into these debates internally, but it never ends up in a good place for me. The internal debate attempts to mirror the external ones. And it just ends up causing a mass of confusion. The best place to be is to avoid the external debate and be true to your own experience. That is, if you can do that.
About 6 months ago, I had a discussion with a psychiatrist I know about whether what I experience is "real" or not. She answered by telling a Chinese proverb:
A monk asked Zhaozhou, "Does the dog have a Buddha nature or not?" And Zhaozhou said "Mu", which can be loosely translated as "not" or "nonbeing" or "without", but it doesn't mean "No, he doesn't".
Then she said: "The interpretation that I read, said that the response was meant to negate the question, not to answer it. For centuries there has been debate and discussion of whether or not the dog has a Buddha nature. Just like there is debate and discussion about whether or not dissociative identities can actually exist. But I like the interpretation that says Zhaozhou intended to negate the question, because I think that theological hair-splitting wouldn't get the young monk any closer to enlightenment and that a wise teacher like Zhaozhou would have known that. Indeed, my favorite interpretation of this story says that Zhaozhou's answer meant 'It doesn't matter!'"
It's very hard to be in a place where you can just say "It doesn't matter." But, really, I think this is the answer. If we can trust in our own experience and keep working at trying to make sense of it, then this is all we can ask of ourselves. It's not for others to judge our experience or tell us it isn't so. There is a lot of suffering that those of us with dissociative disorders have to come to terms with; but the suffering doesn't lessen by forcing yourself to believe that your internal experience isn't real. Just because it doesn't manifest itself in a simple blood test, doesn't mean it's not real. I like to think our job is to work at becoming more whole. We can have a chance at doing this only if we acknowledge our internal reality. Our internal truth.
Others will debate it for many years to come. Let them do that. And let us heal!

Hey Paul,
This is just about the best thing I've read for a long, long time! I keep coming back to Buddhism and losing months (years?) researching the connection between DID and Buddhism without finding very much at all...
I think you nailed it here! :-)
Thanks for posting this!
A few summers ago, I rented a small, unfurnished apartment only for 3 months for the purpose of taking a few summer classes at the University I attended. The apartment was 65 miles away from my home. It was a difficult decision to make because of DID, but with my therapists help, I got thru it. The only glitch was the Abnormal Psych class. I took an entire semester of it in 5 days. If that wasn't bad enough, when the Prof got to the part about DID, he related to the class that DID is dangerous and as soon as a person is diagnosed with DID, they are immediately put into a "ward" and treated with medication. I won't EVEN go into the problems that caused me. Later, tho, that week, parts of me began to experience the feeling of being "wrong" and only a week after that, I found out that DID was being removed from it's own category and would be on the PTSD scale. I realized that without that label, I felt unreal. My therapist reminded me that no matter what someone else called 'it', I would still dissociate... a rose by any other name. So after all that, Paul, I agree with you completely. Let all of them fight over what to call 'it', we know what happened to us and we are well aware of the consequences of the badness forced upon us - it doesn't matter what they call it.
Thanks Ivory and Jahda, This was not a formal connection between DID and buddhism; just an example which could be applied here. And I think it's an excellent one. I keep coming back to it. I still think DID will be part of the DSM-V. But, yes, if it's not, it will be a blow, but not that big a blow to me.
what a great post, paul. i like this part especially:
"If we can trust in our own experience and keep working at trying to make sense of it, then this is all we can ask of ourselves. It's not for others to judge our experience or tell us it isn't so."
i do not have DID, but i think what you have written here applies to healing from abuse in general and probably many more kinds of mental health issues. i think validating our own experience internally and trusting ourselves is a huge part of healing. if we depend too much on how we are "seen" through the eyes of others, that can definitely make things more difficult.
thank you for this post~
Thank you Katie! I appreciate your coming by. While I could say this yesterday, it's very hard in reality to hold onto this view. Acceptance of our own reality is constantly being tested by outside forces.
I struggle with this debate greatly... I get pulled into it through my fears over how I'll be treated by mental health professionals and the denial states that you talk about. Realistically, I know there is no winning this debate, there are too many emotions (and professional reputations) involved from both camps. But, I still get caught up with whether DID is real and therefore whether my experiences are real... I allow the external debate to influence my view of myself and my experiences. I know this isn't productive, but it's what my brain does. I'm not able to get on with healing, because part of me considers that I have nothing to heal from...
This is what I consider to be the issue with the debate, the harm it can do to those caught in cross-fire. When I'm strong, I can see the wisdom of your interpretation of Zhaozhou's statement about the debate not being worthy of concern. But, more often, I'm caught up in an internal struggle about it and my past.
Thank you for this post, sometimes we all need to be reminded of the real reasons and motivations for doing all of this - that being to heal.
Take care,
Hi CG, Yes, the "debate". The internal struggle is to be expected. I have come to accept that there is a natural denial response that we stray in and out of, and we do it in a spiral fashion, slowly getting to the place where we need to be. As Katie so wisely said this is struggle not just for those with DID but with any trauma history (or even any mental health issue, perhaps excepting depression). In many ways, the external public validation of all of these is limited. So, at some point, I will take off on this and talk more generally about mental health issues. As far as internal denial, though, while I am a believer that this is a natural protective response, we just have to be very careful that we don't stay in that state for too long. Thanks for a great comment!
I've tried several times to comment and for some reason, they are not showing up...
I wanted to say how much I appreciated your take on DID. I happened to be writing about almost the same thing the same day you posted this... and I see you have now seen my post.
It was such a surprise when I came in here and saw this right after writing my blog, that day.
Shen, I'm very sorry about the comment not coming through. Sometimes I hear people have trouble with the CAPTCHA (those letter/number combinations you type in when you make a comment). When I removed that, I was flooded by spam. But I'll see if I can find another solution.
It's okay, Paul. I don't know what happened. Both times, I did the captcha correctly and got the "your comment will be visible after approval" note - not the "your comment did not go through" note, so I was surprised when it didn't show up here.
Surprised and paranoid and assuming all kinds of things... lol but what else is new.
Paul, thanks for doing this post. I am learning about DID from blogs like yours. It doesn't surprise me that there are people who deny its existence. I am sad to see the effect that it has on those who do have it. Denial in any form is just another way to victimize the survivor, in my opinion. It is another way to silence us from speaking out about the abuse. One day we will see an end to the denial when enough of us speak out.
Patricia, I would like to think you are correct. But I really do think the denial is endemic to who we are as people.
I try to not look real hard at labels, to not embrace them much. What is important to me is who I am and what I go through. I don't want to be pigeonholed. Sometimes the questions we ask are merely distractions that take our focus off the more important thing---healing.
Hi OneSurvivor! I hear what you are saying. Being able to not worry about the labels and focus on the healing is a great place to be. The labels, I think though, somewhat guides how we work on our healing. Thanks for coming by.
So true, Paul! Labels can be useful so long as we don't get hung up on them or allow them to define us or lock us into being something we are not.
Yes. The point about being locked in is well taken. My take is that for those with DID, we can become much less DID and even heal from DID. So, the label is always changing... as are we!
I like that idea...that we are always changing. :-)
I appreciate when you say, "If we can trust in our own experience and keep working at trying to make sense of it, then this is all we can ask of ourselves."
I experience a similar thing to what you've described in this post, with burnout, where there is no official diagnosis, and a lot of my experiences look, to the outsider, like depression or anxiety, or some other diagnosable thing, or maybe even like I'm just imagining it. Sometimes (often?) I question myself, too. Fortunately, I'm blessed with an understanding husband, who reminds me of what I do know about my experience, and what I've learned in the past.
I also struggle with triggers from intense, but subtle, mental abuse I suffered in a previous marriage. Sometimes, because there was so little "bad behavior" from my husband to make sense of how destroyed I was being, I still get a little crazy inside, wondering if I imagined it. But when I back up and remember what is, and also realize that the triggers I have are real and flow out of experiences that were also real, even if not highly visible, it helps a lot.
I'm appreciating reading around on your site. Thanks.
Thank you for your kind words Dana. I hope you find the rest of the site helpful, or at least that it speaks to your experience. It's funny because I don't often reflect on older blog posts. This one, however, is one that is particularly relevant to what's happening with me right now.
my counselor says "your experience is your experience and it doesn't have to be anything more." i used to hate myself and wanted to do harm but when i learned about the others inside and they reached out to me and cared in a way no one else did, then i was so grateful and loved them too much to do any harm. it was because of them that i got better. d says even if a dozen clinicians said i was delusional it would only mean that a dozen clinicians had no idea what they just misdiagnosed. i am so thankful for having others inside because they saved my life and it doesn't matter how many letters someone has after their name, they can't take that away from me.
Hi Inner Family. Welcome here. I see you stumbled on one of my more favorite personal posts. I like what your counselor said. I think it's very wise advice. I don't always have the experience of compassion for inner parts. I struggle with that so much, especially when it comes to safety and self-harming.
The more I get into your blog, fascination is getting a grip on me. Everything, every comment is so smart and logical that I can't but agree.
A long time ago I was given a book to read by a friend. I can't remember the title, but I do remember the doctor's name who in a most amazing way healed a student in Canada. Some names we don't forget in life, so for me this one, Dr. Lionel Solursh.
The student with triple personality was healed. There are other books I have read to this topic as well. I'll come back to this for the forum next week.
Since when do you have this blog, Paul?
Have a peaceful weekend,
Thanks Persephone. I'm not sure I agree with your glowing assessment of what I write. I think that I contradict myself a lot and waffle. The blog will celebrate two years in April.
I just came back to this and the thing that really stood out to me was your last sentence:
Others will debate it for many years to come. Let them do that. And let us heal!
That statement and the paragraph leading up to it really sums it up pretty nicely, I think.
It's really interesting when people comment on old posts of mine. I then go back and look at them. And they are nice to read sometimes. When I linked to this post in the new one, I didn't actually read it to be honest. But, yes, this is a good sentence. I like it too... (I'm patting myself on the back!)
Great post, Paul.
"I sometimes do get sucked into these debates internally, but it never ends up in a good place for me. The internal debate attempts to mirror the external ones. And it just ends up causing a mass of confusion. The best place to be is to avoid the external debate and be true to your own experience."
I think for some that last truly is the key. But there's something very enriching (for me - I understand this is not true for everyone) about engaging externally and genuinely challenging my own beliefs and perceptions, without creating internal confusion. There was a time when that simply wasn't possible for me. Now it is. And the difference is incredibly profound. No longer are these discussions dangerous for my stability, no longer do they create enormous self-doubt and confusion. And I'm so very glad, because I truly love, and have always loved, provocative discussions. They get my brain moving!
Really love the proverb. Also this:
"I like to think our job is to work at becoming more whole. We can have a chance at doing this only if we acknowledge our internal reality. Our internal truth."
I think you really hit the nail on the head there.
Thanks Holly. Yes, I do see that you are able to have these debates. For me, and for some others, we can have these debates and they are helpful but only to a point. At some point they always lead to destabilization inside. So, yes, I try to challenge myself. But I have to be very careful. For me the opposite is true. Years ago I could have these debates and they would not destabilize me. Now, with more awareness of different responses inside, things seem to get more complicated.

Welcome to all reading this journal my regular feature of the work of others.
Below are the artists whose work has inspired me since my last journal entry. The selections made by no means cover everyone that deserves to be here. In time many many more will follow, as with each passing week I discover so many more talented creative people on here, that one journal entry could never do them all justice. So many of you out there are producing work that leaves me in awe, and it would be unfair of me not to acknowledge the creators of work that has caught my eye and imagination. This journal features some of the more recent works that have stopped me in my tracks. They are presented in no particular order, they are simply a selection that I believe need to be seen and acknowledged by others for their beauty, artistry and ability. I would encourage you all to visit each artist featured as I truly believe that in the DA community we learn so much from each other.

WoW Moviewatch: Think of the animals
Now, I'm all for Zeus' little campaign (and he's even got a blog up and running for it), but I want to warn him: those animals might not be as harmless as they seem. True story: I was in Heroic Underbog this weekend, and a frog hopped by while we were waiting for mana. I clicked on him, and Frost Shocked him out of his little froggy existence, as I usually do whenever we see critters around.
And I kid you not-- I was very surprised to see a little red 1 roll up my scrolling combat text. I checked the combat window, and sure enough: "Frog hits you for 1." Completely true. I don't know how he did it (it was an instant spell! he's a critter!), but that frog tried to take a bite out of me. Maybe I should have bought Griftah's amulet.

To make browsing through the nappies as easy as possible we've categorised them by 'type' rather than brand, so you can either have a leisurely browse or find the specific nappy you want to buy in a couple of clicks...
'fitted nappies'
- this category contains all the different styles we stock where a wrap is needed over the nappy. They are incredibly popular due to the flexibility the combinations of nappy and wrap provide. These are divided into two types of nappy, either 'sized' or 'birth to potty'. Birth to potty nappies are effectively 'one size' nappies that are suitable from birth right through to potty training - or 'sized', meaning you will have to buy 2 or possibly 3 sizes to get from birth to toddler.
'pocket style' nappies
- we've given these their own category as they are somewhere between a shaped nappy, an all-in-one and a wrap! Basically they are a waterproof wrap lined with fleece or terry and have a pocket or pouch that you stuff with a absorbent material (a folded terry nappy or prefold for example).
- these are nappies that have several layers of fleece, terry or a combination and have a permanent waterproof cover that doesn't detach. They fasten with velcro/aplix or poppers. They are the easiest to use as they're pretty much the same as a disposable.
'flat nappies'
. This section includes terry squares, prefolds and muslins.
training pants
. Designed for the toddler who's well on the way to potty training. Whether you need to catch the odd little dribble (!) or still require a good level of absorbency but need the convenience of a pull-up pant.
If you want a more in-depth description of the pros and cons of each system head over to the advice section.

Storytelling is very helpful in education. Students can make up their own stories in most subjects to enhance learning. Why? It involves emotions, critical thinking and evaluation.

I had a fun time creating this 1.5 minute video on PowToon Monday (instead of curating, LOL) and updated it today (Wed.). It's based on a talk I gave at Disney a few years ago -- 11 fundamental questions stories help answer. The video is tiny to watch here. so click on the headline above to watch it in more comfort.
We humans come to our lives with these core questions, many of which we are continually driven to search answers for.
If we can keep in mind these questions as we craft our business stories, we will have a much better chance of creating deeper connections with our customers and staff.
After watching the video, think of the origin stories of your company. Think about the stories you have about best ways to be, how to interact with each other, roles in the community, and the cycles of creation and destruction. There are tons of experiences and lessons here to explore and share. Because answering these questions as best we can help any person and organization navigate through life.

Karen Dietz's curator insight, October 29, 2:27 PM
Author Gini Dietrich writing for the Spin Sucks blog gets it right with this post. Companies churn out tons of content, call it storytelling, and it usually misses the mark.
Her list of 5 critical parts every story needs will help fix this if companies are willing to put in the effort.
The only piece I would add is to augment tip 5 -- The Protagonist. Dietrich mentions that you, your company, your product, or your service is the protagonist. But it is also essential to add your customer in as the hero. Otherwise you'll be doing a lot of personal chest thumping about yourself or your offerings and that will only take you so far.
So gather the insights from this article for better storytelling, include my recommendation, and you will soon be far ahead of your competitors.

Origin of CoQ10
CoQ10 first discovered in 1957. Since then research has been continuously revealing the uniquely beneficial roles of CoQ10 in the body. Today, based on dollar sales, CoQ10 is the top-selling nutraceutical in the United States.
CoQ10, or otherwise known as Coenzyme Q10 or Ubiquinol, as the name suggests, is found everywhere in the body, and is needed to convert nutrients into energy that the body uses for all its functions. Not surprisingly CoQ10 is concentrated in the heart, liver, lungs, muscular system, and brain as these organs require the most energy. It is a vitamin-like, fatty substance which functions as a co-enzyme. CoQ10 also exerts a protective action on cell walls preventing them from getting damaged due to electrical charges that occur during the chemical process of energy generation.
CoQ10 was initially introduced into the market as a supplement for athletes to increase endurance and stamina. It then became popular predominantly for its role in supporting heart health and as an anti-aging agent. Thirty years of research shows that CoQ10 is a star player, performing an important role in many essential functions of the body and in bioenergetics. More research suggests it could be useful in:
- Boosting energy levels
- Heart health
- Antioxidant functions
- Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, ALS, etc.
- Migraines and Depression
- Skin Health (including photo-aging) taken internally and used as a topical application
- Periodontal health
- Vision
- Immune health
- Regulating healthy blood sugar levels in diabetics
- Cancer (especially melanoma)
- Fertility in men
Scientists have discovered that too little of CoQ10 in the body means less energy production and more cell damage. Since CoQ10 is essential to the functions of all organs, a deficiency may result in a variety of health disorders.
Who Needs Coenzyme Q10?
The body is able to manufacture Coenzyme Q10 on its own. But after the age of 20, the amount that is manufactured begins to decline. By the time we reach the age of 50, there is a significant drop of Coenzyme Q10 levels in the body, particularly the brain and heart. It is difficult to get adequate amounts of Coenzyme Q10 from diet alone. Supplementation is considered to be the best option.
Besides aging, scientific research has shown other factors that may accelerate the decline of Coenzyme Q10 levels in the body.
- Clinical trials show patients who have been prescribed statins to reduce cholesterol or reduce the risk of cardiovascular heart disease, also show a deficiency in Coenzyme Q10. Evidence strongly suggests that statins, while reducing cholesterol, also reduce the levels of Coenzyme Q10 causing a deficiency of this vitamin.
- There are about 13 million people who take statins in the United States alone. As the statistics on heart disease continues to rise, the number of people prescribed statins will rise proportionately.
- High metabolic rates, endurance exercises, and hard physical labor can deplete the Coenzyme Q10 storage levels in the body.
- Prolonged use of NSAIDS (such as ibuprofen), are also considered to deplete levels of Coenzyme Q10 in the body.
- Studies show that cancer patients have low levels of Coenzyme Q10. This association is still being studied.
Surging Demand for Ubiquinol CoQ10
From 2001 to 2006 Ubiquinol CoQ10 supplements have experienced a growth rate of 13 percent. In 2007, the IRI (market research firm) noted a 19 percent increase in the dollar sales volume at retail outlets. It also noted that unit sales had increased by 9 percent. Currently, estimates suggest there could be more than six million consumers of CoQ10 ubiquinol supplements.
Research from the Freedonia Group predicts that nutrients such as CoQ10, along with glucosamine and chondroitin will generate the fastest growth (6.4 percent a year) in 2008-2013.
Major suppliers of CoQ10 have opened up manufacturing units within the United States. This has led to greater availability of CoQ10 in the nutraceutical market and opened a wider market for CoQ10 functional foods, beverages and dietary supplements. In spite of the economic downturn, key suppliers have recorded high demand for CoQ10.
CoQ10 Delivery Forms
In 2006, Ubiquinol, a reduced form of CoQ10 was introduced into the market. This led to more popular forms such as water-soluble CoQ10, CoQ10 in matrix or beadlet form. These new forms offer more stability, easier formulation and are highly bioavailable. Nano-grade CoQ10 can be easily incorporated into beverages. Tablets, capsules, powders and beverages are the common delivery forms.
CoQ10 Supplements
Beverages are the fastest growing segment for CoQ10 products. These can be promoted as antioxidant energy drinks, offering an excellent alternative to caffeinated energy products.
Other popular uses of CoQ10 are in cosmetics, cosmeceuticals (beauty and skincare supplements), anti-aging supplements, cardiovascular health, cognitive health, diabetes, Parkinson's Disease, and various age-related disorders. It can be manufactured alone or in combination with other nutraceuticals for an innovative formula that reaches your specific demographics.

All Wesley Woodyard Does is Make Plays
All Wesley Woodyard does is make plays.
He was an all-state player at LaGrange High because of his ability to find the ballcarrier, he was the leading tackler in the Southeastern Conference his last two years at Kentucky, and through the first two games of his NFL career, he stands atop the tackles chart for the Denver Broncos in the preseason.
It remains a wonder, then, why Woodyard was not taken in the NFL draft.
Seven rounds of the draft came and went without Woodyards name being called, but there were a number of teams who wanted to sign the former Granger as an undrafted free agent.
Woodyard chose the Broncos, and hes been one of the teams best players halfway through the preseason schedule.
Due partly to some injuries to other Broncos linebackers, Woodyard has played a lot, and he has responded with 13 total tackles, 12 of them of the solo variety.
Woodyard has also been a force on the kickoff and punt teams, which could help him make the team.
All Woodyard wants-all hes ever wanted- is a chance, and he intends to make the most of it.
My goal is to make the team and be the best player I can, Woodyard told a newspaper in Longmont, Colo. The only person that can cut me is myself. If I go out there and I make a lot of mistakes, then its going to be easy (for the coaches). I just try to go out there every day and get better at what I do.
If Woodyard ever needs to lean on anyone for advice, he doesnt have to look far.
Tyrone Poole, a fellow LaGrange High graduate who has been in the NFL for more than 10 years, signed with the Broncos last week as a cornerback.
Poole hasnt played in the NFL since 2006, and hes hoping to make the Broncos regular-season roster.
Poole made his preseason debut last week against Dallas and had one tackle.
A player who doesnt have any concerns about making the team is Walt Harris of the San Francisco 49ers.
The LaGrange High graduate has been a starter for the 49ers the past two seasons at cornerback, and hes accumulated 12 interceptions in two years.
As for Woodyard, his first chance to make an impression came in the preseason opener against Houston.
The impression was a favorable one as Woodyard had eight solo tackles to lead the team.
He gets out there on the field, and when the lights go on, he ended up making plays and kind of shining, Broncos defensive coordinator Bob Slowik said.
In Week 2 against Dallas, Woodyard had another solid game with five total tackles, giving him a team-high 13.
Getting a chance to go out there and fly around against some of the best guys and see what I can do, it gives me a lot of confidence, Woodyard said. I just have to continue to get better.
Woodyard was an All-SEC player for two seasons at Kentucky, and he was regarded as one of the countrys top defensive players.
Yet when the NFL draft arrived, Woodyards phone didnt ring.
Woodyard was considered by many to be too small to play linebacker in the NFL, so he went undrafted.
The proof is in the numbers, though.
Woodyards speed, desire, football instincts and sure-fire tackling ability have made him a dominant player on every level so far.
Once I learn the position and get a chance to fly around, I use my speed to make plays, Woodyard said. In the game of football, my instincts always take me to the football.
Woodyard has two more chances in the preseason to prove that he deserves a spot on the Broncos regular-season roster.
Denver hosts Green Bay on Friday before finishing its preseason at Arizona Aug. 29.
Denver has had some key injuries at the linebacker position, which should help Woodyards cause. Hes also shown himself to be an impact player on special teams, which helps as well.
All Woodyard wants to do is get on the field and play the game thats meant so much to him.
Playing the game of football is something that I love to do, Woodyard said. Anytime I get on the field, Im going to try to compete and be the best at what Im doing.
While Woodyard is a newcomer to the professional game, Poole and Harris have been at it a long time.
Poole came into the NFL in 1995, and hes been a steady player everywhere hes been.
In 2003, he had a career-high six interceptions for a New England team that won a Super Bowl.
Poole has 18 career interceptions.
Poole tried to make the Houston Texas roster in 2007, but he was cut before the season began, and he didnt play that year.
Harris, who made his NFL debut in 1996, is in his third season with the 49ers.
Harris has 32 career interceptions, with 12 of them coming the past two seasons with the 49ers.
After an eight-interception season in 2006, Harris earned his first Pro-Bowl selection.
Woodyard could break through the secret service and tackle the president, true story.
That's cool about he and Tyrone being from the same school, didn't know that.
Woodyards poop is used as fertilizer. The problem is its so potent you have to mow the grass hourly.
Woodyard is the answer to renewable energy.
I love these types of guys. I love the new personnel direction this team has taken. Woodyard is a lot like Dumervil, all world production, but overlooked for one reason or another.
Woodyard eats milk and poops cheese....
Woodyard is the 8th wonder of the world.
He eats lightning and craps thunder......
I think it's time to call this guy 'Wood Shed'....or maybe 'Whoop Yours'...
People said Lofa Tatupu was too small to play LB.
I know I've got Woodyard as my adopt a Bronco, but I wish Woodyard would adopt me.
Woodyard can fold paper in half nine times.
On the football field, all Wesley Woodyard does is make plays. Off the field, all he does is make Tony award winning plays.
Omg 4 epic posts in a row, I'm at serious risk of an lol at work.
Woodyard can tell funny jokes about himself.
Here we go again.
Woodyard is a good football player.............errrrr wait a second, I will just leave it to the pro's on here.
Woodyard drinks boiling water, then pees ice cubes.....
Put his ass at D-tackle...
Woodyard pisses mediocrity but to us minions thats supreme excellence.
Wesley Woodyard doesn't get caught up in blockers, he backpedals while carrying 300 pound men for a light warm up.
Jack Williams > Wesley Woodyard
has this guy ascended to Hixon or the Claw hype territory?

Webalizer not configured properly
Hello :)
i followed the tutorial "The Perfect Server .. Debian Squeeze/ISPConfig3/BIND/Dovecot" some days ago, set up some domains, sites, mailboxes and everything works fine.
But webalizer is not running, it gives no stats.
The Folder "stats" under each /var/www/domain.tld has only one file: .htaccess.
Looking at /etc/webalizer i can not find any config-files that gives instructions to webalizer, which logs to scan and when it should do this.
Before configuring it by myself, i want to ask, if ispconfig3 could do this for me and what i have to do for?
thanks in advance!
There are no config files needed, its completely configured by commandline params, so dont create any config fileas manually to not mess up your setup. Just wait 24 hours after you accesed the website the first time and you will find he statistics in the stats directory.
Thanks for your reply, till.
Is it possible to change the Update-Time for Webalizer from daily to hourly?
No, the stats are created daily once every night. If you tun the scripts hourly, the stats will be wrong.

Accepting yourself is essential for physical health and mental well being. Instead of cruel and unforgiving self judgment and the self loathing that springs from it, unconditional self acceptance is about being at peace with yourself regardless of your perceived flaws and short-comings.
Extending love, grace and forgiveness to yourself feels good. It is the basis of self worth and esteem. When you genuinely accept your self, warts and all, you are much more likely to be truly more accepting of others.
Unconditional self acceptance is not about being egotistical (which is usually just a cover up for low self worth) or denying the truth. It is not an excuse to ignore bad health and behaviors.
On the contrary, truly accepting yourself offers a 'soft place' for assessing yourself without being unduly hard on yourself.
From this place you are able to make wise and healthy decisions about change and personal transformation, or not. You evaluate your needs and goals in love and empowerment instead of stress and self loathing.
The opening set up statement of the Emotional Freedom Technique acknowledges your true spiritual nature as free from a judgmental spirit.
The words remind you consciously and even unconsciously of higher level truth, whether they feel true to your personality or not.
As you literally tap in these words, sabotaging resistance can be switched off long enough to let you tap into the shifts you want.
Those words are, "Even though I have this problem, I deeply and completely love and accept myself."
Even though challenges with unconditional self acceptance are common, some people have so much difficulty with the above words that they can't even speak them.
Why is this?
Your self concept begins to form from birth and even earlier. Along with your inherited genetic make up, what you observed and were told about yourself and your world shaped your beliefs and made you who you are right down to the cellular level.
Unfortunately, because of the way the human brain is hard wired, negative messages carry more weight than positive ones. We tend to discredit the good things we hear and see and focus on the negative things.
Naturally, that leads us to speaking, hearing and receiving more negative messages. We discredit the good things we hear and see and focus on the negative things.
For better or worse our make up and all those messages combine to create our sense of self worth.
For example, the media spends billions of dollars programming us to want to look, believe, and act certain ways. We compare our bodies with unrealistic 'touched up' images. We compare our spiritual lives with religious figures, our material goods and talents with the rich and famous or our intelligence with the class genius.
When you 'buy what they are selling', you end up feeling less than good about your life. You judge and reject yourself in whole or in part. At least to some extent you believe, "I'm not (important, smart, good looking, talented, rich) enough" to be worthy of love and acceptance.
Lack of self worth and being hard on yourself all the time creates an undercurrent of stress that makes physical and mental healing difficult.
There is a scientific reason for this. When you express hate about some part of yourself, that is a stressful, discouraging thought. Stress creates tension and chemical changes in the mind and body and reduce the level of the cell repairing hormone DHEA. Chronic dis-stress is the antithesis to wellness.
On the contrary, freeing yourself from the grips of self judgment and unforgiveness towards others can lead to miraculous healing. Forgiveness is a powerful healer of the spirit, which sometimes brings physical healing with it. Unconditional self acceptance lets you relax and opens your creativity so you can see solutions.
Self loathing thoughts may provide a temporary burst of motivation, but not of the lasting kind that leads to personal transformation and health.
You really gain nothing positive when you are hard on yourself, except some negative attention and low self worth. You can be sure this message makes its way to your cells.
Why should your mind and body take care of someone you reject?
Sometimes lack of self worth shows up in sneakier ways.
For example, you might say, "I'm fighting depression (or cancer)". Does that feel self accepting and peaceful? This statement may be positive when your body is literally fighting an invading virus. (Fighting may mean stress to you so check in with how it feels.)
Conditions like cancer and depression are all you. To fight them means to fight yourself. Try an affirmation like this instead, "I'm thankful for what this illness is teaching me about myself and I'm cooperating with my mind and body to get well."
What if, instead of saying, "I hate my fat thighs," you said, "I am so thankful for how my legs let me walk and go where I want, even though I've put extra weight on them. What wonderful legs they are."?
Notice how different the statements sound and feel. Which statements inspire you to love yourself and take positive steps to wellness?
Accepting yourself aligns you with your true nature. It frees up energy for healing instead of stress. It opens you up to your intuition and guidance so you can make empowered decisions and take appropriate action.
When you love and accept yourself unconditionally, it is natural to want to take good care of yourself. Your decisions and goals will naturally align with what is truly in your best interest. You are more likely to follow through with life affirming habits. And it certainly feels better than the alternative.
Continue to How to accept yourself.

text: Doris Gordon was a friend of mine. A fellow Jewish atheist, she started an organization in 1976 called Libertarians for Life. Most libertarians are pro choice, so hers was a lonely calling within the libertarian movement. Doris and I disagreed on this issue (I favor evictionism, neither pro life nor pro choice), but we were still good friends. We engaged each other on this issue many times over the years, neither one of us able to convince the other. But our discussions were always civil and friendly, something I greatly appreciate. I will miss my friend Doris Gordon. RIP.1:15 pm on July 11, 2014 Email Walter E. Block
