Expiration Date:?Feb 2020Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Source Naturals Magnesium Malate is a compound of magnesium and malic acid. Malic acid is a natural fruit acid that is present in most cells in the body and is an important component of numerous enzymes key to ATP synthesis and energy production. Magnesium is an essential mineral in over 300 enzymatic reactions in metabolism. Preliminary studies suggest that magnesium malate supports the body's own detoxification of aluminum in the brain.

I use 6 tablets every day for years now to relieve cramps, migraine and pain caused by Ehlers Danlos. Will also relieve pain from MCS/Fibro. Feel free to visit my page (click on my name) for more reviews.
I take this for fibromyalgia. It helps me sleep really well, relieves my pain and restless legs. I take 3-4 at night. If I forget to take it, I will wake up in pain. I get up, take it and relax and fall back to sleep immediately. Extremely effective. Better than any pain pills or muscle relaxers!!
very useful

I find it very useful, doesn't overdose easily.

I've been taking magnesium for over two years. Ever since I started taking it in the form of MgO tablets, I was able to remove muscle cramps and tinnitus (I recently noticed it has been a while since I haven't heard the ringing in my ear). However, I purchased this malate form and a week ago I got my first muscle cramp early in the morning while half asleep since I've got magnesium in my stack. Admittedly, I missed a few capsules those days, but that has not happened to me even with only MgO. So the potency of these is dubvious (don't know if it is absorption or any other issue). As for the malate, I haven't noticed anything. Will discontinue once the second bottle is finished and go back to either bisglycinate or plain oxide.

I suffer from peripheral neuropathy and used to get extremely bad cramps in my legs. I now take Magnesium Malate 1,250 mg. One each morning and night and have had great relief from the cramps which are so painful. Because I am such a restless sleeper due of my condition I would find myself caught up in the sheets and couldn't jump out of bed quickly to relieve the pain. I live in New Zealand but have never had a problem paying for the tablets and having them shipped to me in super quick time. Jackie North

Hi everyone! I'm Amanda and I'm fairly new to this board. I'm married and stay at home with our two little boys. Nicholas is 3 and Preston is 7 months. They're a handful! I generally try to cook healthy meals at least 6 days of the week. (Sometimes this is hard!)
Anyway- My dh and I just finished watching Game of Thrones which is "our show". We don't have a lot of similar interests but he got me into it and now it's our bonding time. There's only two more episodes this season and I can't wait!
QOTD: what are your favorite shows?
Obviously I like Game of Thrones, my other favorite is Criminal Minds.
WFD: I think we'll have to grab something quick. My 3 year old has gym class 6-7. Then I need to do grocery shopping!

Did not make himself available. Not friendly or informative. No visit after surgery to discuss.
To the office of Dr. John Pennings, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Pennings and his entire staff for the wonderful care I received before, during and after my recent procedure. Kassi, especially, was wonderful, courteous and helpful, going above and beyond what is expected.
My experience with Dr. Pennings and his staff was wonderful. From the first appointment to the last I cannot say enough on what a pleasurable experie ...
This doctor saved my moms life by doing her surgery!!! he is always nice to my mom and makes her feel like a human being. his staff is very nice to my mom also. his PA has been grouchy and not approachable but the doctor himself is wonderful. best medical experience my mom has ever had!!!!!
Dr Pennings performed my RNY recently. While researching where I wanted to have my surgery performed. My first visit I did not like the receptionist. Almost to the point I wouldn't consider having surgery at his office because of her. It was a pleasant surprise when I came to one of my first appointments and she wasn't there anymore. My first appointment with Dr Pennings, he spent the time to answer my questions and didn't make me feel rushed in any way. I was also pleased to meet the dietician and psychologist. They were both professional and made me feel comfortable. My surgery went very well and I am recovering very well.
I cannot believe that he is still practicing medicine. All that he cares about is the almighty dollar and his staff is a combination of inept, hostile and rude that I have never encountered in my life. Their psychologist is downright hostile and should not be treating patients until she works out her own issues.I VERY politely requested that they bill my insurance. I had to ask SIX times and it has still not been billed. When I requested documentation that they had actually billed my insurance because my insurance company has no record of the billing, I received a letter from them indicating that I was no longer their patient. Nice.
he was very rushed and caused me a lot of pain during the exam
I've had to see pennins several and it been a plaesant visit every time its nice when you trust the doctor you see.

Sauder Edge Water Entertainment CredenzaJuly 18, 2014
When my husband and I were first married 12 years ago we wanted everything in our new home to be JUST right. But because we both were students it didn't quite work as we would have hoped. We slowly bought a few main pieces over the years, but when kids came along all of our furniture needs revolved around them and not around our home design. So when I had the opportunity to review a piece of furniture from Sauder {Read More}

|Doll/Doll Clothing
***Fits slim bodied dolls like Kidz n' Cats.***
Inspired by some of the wonderfully self-patterning yarns that resemble camouflage design once knitted and a cold weather we are all experiencing this year I created this model.
This cold Winter made me remember how as a child I kept warm by wearing a traditional / almost military Russian hat Ushanka. It can be worn so many different ways; ear flaps tied under your chin for most cold protection, tied on the top of the crown in a military style and finally my favorite "girly" way with ear flaps folded back and tied on the back.
This pattern uses about 50g of aran or worsted weight yarn and about 20g of any Sherpa-looking yarn like the Bella Soft Panda, Dark Horse Enchanting and finally Pipsqueak. Yarns and trim colors can be complimentary / matching or contrasting.
This is a quick and easy project.
This particular pattern is written for a SLIM bodied 18" doll.
This outfit knits up really fast and fun yarns in addition to your basic worsted weight acrylic makes it a sure winner.
Every new yarn and color combination is an opportunity for new fun look.

Pawel Wolak: I Saw Delvin's Best, He Hasn't Seen Mine!
By Ryan Burton
The verbal warfare has started back up on BoxingScene between junior middleweights Pawel Wolak and Delvin Rodriguez. The two men face each other on December 3rd in a rematch of their 'Fight of the Year' contender. The fight happens on the undercard of the Miguel Cotto-Antonio Margarito rematch at Madison Square Garden in New York.
On Tuesday, BoxingScene ran an article by Mitch Abramson in which Rodriguez said that he would target Wolak's right eye. The orbital area of Wolak's aforementioned eye was grotesquely swollen in their first fight which took place about 3 months ago. Rodriguez doesn't think that Wolak will have had enough time for his eye to completely heal when December 3rd rolls around.
Wolak was amused by Rodriguez's comments. When advised of his rival's commentary, Wolak told BoxingScene.com - "Hang on, he is targeting my eye? (laughing) I better sit down with (trainers) Tommy (Brooks) and (Gist) Terrific and talk about that."
The fighter of Polish decent figured that Rodriguez targeting his right eye was a no-brainer. He also said that his trainer basically said it to his face at their press conference that took place last Saturday prior to Nonito Donaire's victory over Omar Narvaez in New York.
"I'm not Einstein but I kinda figured they would do that. Not to mention Delvin's trainer took his video camera to the press conference the other night and asking me to say something to my Dominican fans while he zoomed in on my eye. He could have come up with something better than that (laughing). Did he not think I didn't know what he was doing? Come on. They must think we are idiots."
Wolak absorbed a ton of punishment from Rodriguez in their first go round but didn't taste the canvas. He feels that he took the Dominican fighter's best shot and that there isn't anything else Rodriguez can do to hurt him. Wolak finished up our conversation by offering a piece of advise to his opponent.
"Delvin should probably target both of my eyes and see if he can then knock me out or stop me from coming after him and landing punch after punch because he couldn't do it when I had one eye closed. I am not worried. We know their plan. But he is right, I am not coming to box. I am coming after him every minute of every round and he better have some Red Bull in him because he's gonna need it. I saw the best Delvin, he hasn't seen the best me. He will on December 3rd."

Praja in raptures as Chiru says he won't mind T
By Express News Service
Published: 01st November 2008 10:57 AM
Last Updated: 14th May 2012 04:50 PM
KARIMNAGAR: Finally, he obliged the demand of the people of Telangana region and declared his party policy on the contentious statehood issue. Praja Rajyam Party president Chiranjeevi said that if the Central Government proposes separate Telangana, his party would not come in the way and also said that there was a need for every one to bring pressure on the Centre to adopt a resolution in favor of Telangana.
The actors announcement was greeted with loud applause from a massive gathering.
The crowd burst crackers and danced with joy.
Chiranjeevi started his second day of the Praja Ankita Yatra in Telangana region from Metpally this morning.
He travelled through Korutla and reached Jagityal town around 2 pm and at the bus stand circle he unveiled the policy on Telangana. Since morning the media was expecting the PRP president to announce the policy which he finally made at Jagityal.
Before announcing the policy Chiranjeevi lashed out at leaders who spoke on the need for separate State. He said that instead of taking the region on the road to development, politicians were trying to rouse passions with an intent to reap political gain.
He ridiculed the Congress for saying that the party would take a decision at an appropriate time. ''When would that appropriate time come,'' he questioned.
His party would bring pressure on the Centre to expedite the process, the PRP supremo stated. He criticised the leaders for not revealing the fact that Centre has the authority to create a separate State.
However, some local people said that Chiranjeevi has to be more clear on the Telangana issue.
Earlier in the day, Chiranjeevi addressed the agitating teachers at Metpally Tahsildar office. He said that if the students have to get good education teachers must be offered good facilities. Narrating the woes of teachers Chiranjeevi said that a teacher told him that because transfers had been put on hold, he and his wife were living in different areas.
Chiranjeevi described the demands of the teachers as genuine and need to be solved immediately.
Speaking at Korutla, he said that unless the weaker sections were represented in big number in the Assembly, their problems would not be solved. He said that the party has announced the first ticket to a tribal woman Muniamma who is working for the welfare of her community.
He urged the people to elect majority community people and his party was ready to send such leaders to the Assembly.
Addressing the problems of the minorities and beedi workers of the Korutla area, the PRP founder felt sorry that these sections were not getting justice and the minorities were being harassed.

Did you know the classic American children's wear company, OshKosh B'Gosh has been making denim and overalls since 1895? The company is well-known for their built to last clothing and designed to move for work and play. Back in 1895, the small town of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, manufactured adult work clothing, making famous their bib overalls. The original children's overalls were intended to let fathers and children dress alike. How cute, right?
In the 1960s, OshKosh B'Gosh started to sell their products through mail order catalogs and department stores. At that time, their children's line expanded and by 1993, made up 95% of the company's sales. In 2005, the company was sold to Carter's, Inc., a children and baby clothing manufacturer, but the company still operates under the original name and maintains a corporate headquarters in Oshkosh even thought the clothing is no longer made there.
Today, OshKosh B'Gosh makes jeans, OshKosh B'Gosh pants, OshKosh B'Gosh shirts, sweaters, t-shirts, tank tops, dresses, swimwear, sleepwear, and all other kinds of casual playwear and outerwear for children, babies, infants, toddlers and youth. The company has stayed true to the work-wear inspired heritage of quality and durability that started it all, over 115 years ago.

CCB registers case against Kalanithi
By Express News Service - CHENNAI
Published: 13th December 2012 08:27 AM
Last Updated: 13th December 2012 09:19 AM
Taking cognizance of a recent complaint filed by filmmaker and producer Shakthi Chidambaram, the Central Crime Branch (CCB) police on Wednesday registered a case against Sun network boss Kalanithi Maran and three managers of the group.
The case was registered under sections 294(b) (abusing), 352 (punishment for assault or criminal force), 420 (cheating), and 506 (II) (criminal intimidation) of Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Chidambaram, in his complaint, to City Police Commissioner S George alleged that Maran, chairman and managing director of Sun TV Network Limited, had not repaid his dues amounting to `6.75 crore and issued threats.
He alleged that Maran failed to honour a written agreement for payment for the satellite broadcast rights for the Vijay-starrer Kavalan, which Sun TV had purchased from him for `5.5 crore. He had received only `2.75 crore so far, he said.
Similarly, the director had paid `4 crore to Maran for getting the screening rights of Rajinikanth-starrer Enthiran in the Chengalpattu area.
The Sun TV group allegedly sold the overall screening rights to another distributor and did not return Chidambaram's money, the complaint said.
Chidambaram alleged that the Sun group's managers Sembian, R M Ramesh, and Kannan, acting on Maran's instructions, assaulted him and threatened him for seeking the pending payments.
Earlier in the day, the Madras High Court had restrained the Central Crime Branch police from arresting or harassing Maran and others.
The court's order was in connection with a criminal case registered against them last week.
Justice A Arumughaswamy granted the relief while passing interim orders on the petitions from Maran, RMR Ramesh and Kannan. The judge directed the CCB not to harass, not to arrest and not to summon any of them till December 18.
The petitions would be taken up for further hearing on that date, the judge said and ordered notices, also to the CCB.

A Swarthmore College student-reporter's questioning of whether it is moral to go into banking sparks NYT columnist Nick Kristof to not only assert the affirmative, but to argue (in part) that in fact more well-educated, liberally-mined people should go into "conservative" industries like banking in order to reform it from the inside. In effect, Kristof suggests, socialist-leaning, educationally-empowered students should hunker down, swallow their disdain, and apply their ideals to change finance. Said student responds (in Slate): elite, ostensibly liberal-leaning students don't seem to be particularly discouraged from capitalism or going into banking in this climate, and probably never have been.

If the Atlanta Falcons are going to beat the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, they'll probably need a mistake-free game from quarterback Matt Ryan and a strong performance from their defense. However, there's another key to the game that not many people are talking about, a key that Outkast member Big Boi brought up on ESPN's First Take this week. Big Boi said that if the Falcons want to win on Sunday, the team needs to avoid Atlanta's sometimes risqué entertainment scene -- or in simpler terms: the Falcons need to avoid gentlemen's clubs.

text: Home > Fitness > News 26 August 2011 Aerobic exercise burns belly fat Aerobic exercise is your best bet when it comes to losing that dreaded belly fat, a new study finds. 0 10 minute bikini-ready workout Why you need strength to run Aerobic exercise is your best bet when it comes to losing that dreaded belly fat, a new study finds. When Duke University Medical Center researchers conducted a head-to-head comparison of aerobic exercise, resistance training, and a combination of the two, they found aerobic exercise to be the most efficient and most effective way to lose the belly fat most damaging to your health. This isn't the fat that lies just under your skin and causes the dreaded muffin top. Belly or abdominal fat – known in scientific communities as visceral fat and liver fat – is located deep within the abdominal cavity and fills the spaces between internal organs. It's been associated with increased risk for heart disease, diabetes, and certain kinds of cancer. "When it comes to increased health risks, where fat is deposited in the body is more important than how much fat you have," says Duke exercise physiologist Cris Slentz, Ph.D., lead author of the study published in the American Journal of Physiology. "Our study sought to identify the most effective form of exercise to get rid of that unhealthy fat." The Duke study showed aerobic training significantly reduced visceral fat and liver fat, the culprit in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Aerobic exercise also did a better job than resistance training at improving fasting insulin resistance, and reducing liver enzymes and fasting triglyceride levels. All are known risk factors for diabetes and heart disease. Combination of exercise is best Resistance training achieved no significant reductions in visceral fat, liver fat, liver enzyme levels or improvements in insulin resistance. The combination of aerobic exercise with resistance training achieved results similar to aerobic training alone. "Resistance training is great for improving strength and increasing lean body mass," says Slentz. "But if you are overweight, which two thirds of the population is, and you want to lose belly fat, aerobic exercise is the better choice because it burns more calories." Aerobic training burned 67% more calories in the study when compared to resistance training. The eight-month study followed 196 overweight, sedentary adults (ages 18-70) who were randomised to one of three groups: aerobic training; resistance training or a combination of the two. The aerobic group performed exercises equivalent to 12 miles of jogging per week at 80% maximum heart rate. The resistance group performed three sets of 8 – 12 repetitions three times per week. All programmes were closely supervised and monitored to ensure maximum effort in participation. While the training programmes were rigorous and substantial, Slentz says their previous research leads him to believe similar results could be achieved with a more moderate aerobic exercise program. "What really counts is how much exercise you do, how many miles you walk and how many calories you burn," he says. "If you choose to work at a lower aerobic intensity, it will simply take longer to burn the same amount of unhealthy fat."

Helps with High Cholesterol
Posted by keys2realhealth on Feb 03, 2012
This is a good product which works well in helping the liver break down LDL cholesterol and may help raise the level of good, or HDL, cholesterol. I use two of these capsules per day in conjunction with 1000 mg. per day of non-flush niacin and have been able to lower my LDL, raise my HDL, and lower my triglycerides at the same time.
Not for me

G-mail recovery
A friend of mine recently had his g-mail account broken into. Someone got in an started sending out bcc e-mails to all the contacts saying he had been mugged in a foreign land and needed cash. The conversation was clearly 419 language and clearly not my friend, so there was no damage. Is there anything that can be done to recover the g-mail address? Any way to contact Google about it and make the case? Obviously just creating a new g-mail address and starting over is the obvious answer, but I am wondering if there is a process for recovering a g-mail identity that's demonstrably "yours".

There were no injuries and no fatalities from these tornadoes. Based on video and photographic evidence... plus multiple eyewitness accounts... it is clear that two separate and distinct tornadoes occurred from the same parent supercell thunderstorm in southeast grand forks county. The first was a brief touchdown in far southeast arvilla township and the second was a much larger and longer tracking tornado across northern pleasant view township. A third tornado occurred nearly an hour and a half later in east central traill county. This tornado crossed the interstate 29 corridor and produced severe damage at two farmsteads and at the Taftt elevator complex. .TORNADO #1...

I'm posting this now because of the push to rename the just-finished QA Hackathon, which personally I feel was marvellous value-for-money.]]> So, I soon realized the secret is to expand out the words, and them say them in reverse order.
Let's try some:
ISP => Service for the Provision of the Internet (Edit: chopped silly example).
HTTP => Protocol for the Transmission of Hyper-Text.
These 'just work', and also notice that we're happy to spell out the letters. They do not need to be pronounceable words. Sure, some acronyms more or less make a word, but my view is that fabricating a good acronym depends in the word combination in both directions, not the resultant letter combination.
Try a few yourselves.
But beware of concentrating too much on ancient acronyms, since we're more likely to have absorbed them over enough time to overlook any awkwardness they might have.
A note about a bad acronym: CGI. A close examination will tell you that Common, Gateway and Interface all mean more or less the same thing! So what does the word expansion tell you? Nothing! Not convinced? Try telling that word expansion to someone who uses a computer but is not a programmer, and ask them what it conveys. Hint: Their answer will be: Nothing.
Now, gentlemens and ladies (as they say in Blues music), fire up your acronymatrons...
Anyway, I'll start:
PATCH: Perl Annual Toolchain Hackathon => Hackathon on the Toolchain for Perl.
And, hey, Patch has all sorts of coding connotations!
Hmmm. Not too bad for a 1st attempt.
And am I worried about having to explain Toolchain. No! Just use the opportunity to emphasize the incredible breadth of our commitment to Perl testing and quality.
Now to take my other advice, and quit while I'm ahead :-).
I can't actually say when they moved, but Petr Pisar has kindly informed me it is so, and he's fastidious about such things.
And, yes, here in Australia we really do spell licence as, er ... well, licence.
I've just put the code on Github.
After I wrote Genealogy::Gedcom::Date V 2, I would never use Gedcom::Date, but
since the latter offers features my code doesn't, it's reasonable to assume
some people would not want to switch away from Gedcom::Date, and indeed, would
want that module to have ongoing support.
This means I assume any work on Gedcom::Date will be appreciated, and to help
with that, if it's updated I'll announce the new version on the Perl-Gedcom
mailing list (email@example.com).
Rather, it adds the x-deprecated flag to META.json and META.yml. I added .gitignore to MANIFEST.SKIP.]]>
- Ron Savage is now co-maint.
- Move eg/ to examples/.
- Many thanx to the various parties who logged issues on RT. Some have been fixed, see below.
- Add examples/failure.01.pl, downloaded, and noted in docs, from
- Move pod tests into xt/author/pod.t by cutting them out of t/00_basic.t.
See https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=85686
and https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=85209
- Add repository https://github.com/ronsavage/Regexp-Assemble.git.
Note: github does not list Perl as one of the licence options, so the auto-generated
LICENSE (sic) file is not included in the distro.
See https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=103856.
- Fix some spelling errors in the pod.
See https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=84336
- Move ./Assemble.pm into lib/Regexp/.
- Move the contents of the TODO file into the docs, and delete that file.
- Rearrange pod, but not be running this module over it :-). Actually, put pod at end of file.
- Update Makefile.PL.
- Add Changelog.ini.
- Update MANIFEST.SKIP.
For my own use basically, I'll soon release a simple module called Tree::Renderer, whose default output is almost identical to that of Data::TreeDumper.
So far, I've only implemented these return values for Scalar::Utils's reftype:
ARRAY, CODE, HASH, REF and SCALAR.
If you want support for other types let me know. Being lazy I hope not - in the nicest possible way, of course!
Lastly, yes, the name Tree::Renderer could be Data::TreeRenderer, etc, etc. Suggestions tolerated.
Outputs tables in any one of several supported types.
=item o Generic interface to all supported table formats
=item o Separately specify header/data/footer rows
=item o Separately include/exclude header/data/footer rows
=item o Align cell values
Each column has its own alignment option, left, center or right.
For internally generated HTML, this is done with a CSS div within each td, not with the obsolete td align attribute.
But decimal places are not alignable, yet, as discussed in the TODO.
=item o Escape HTML entities or URIs
But not both at the same time!
=item o Extend short header/data/footer rows with empty strings or undef
Auto-extension results in all rows being the same length.
This takes place before the transformation, if any, mentioned next.
=item o Tranform cell values which are empty strings and undef
=item o Pad cell values
=item o Handle UFT8
=item o Return the table as an arrayref of lines or as a string
The arrayref is returned by render([%hash]), and the string by render_as_string([%hash]).
When returning a string by calling render_as_string() (which calls render()), you can specify how the lines in the arrayref are joined.
In the same way the format parameter discussed just below controls the output, the join
parameter controls the join.
The format of the output is controlled by the format parameter to new(), or by the parameter to the format([$format]) method, or by the value of the format key in the hash passed to render([%hash]) and render_as_string(%hash]), and must be one of these imported constants:
=item o format_internal_boxed
All headers, footers and table data are surrounded by ASCII characters.
The rendering is done internally.
See scripts/internal.boxed.pl and output file data/internal.boxed.log.
=item o format_internal_github
Render as github-flavoured markdown.
The rendering is done internally.
See scripts/internal.github.pl and output file data/internal.github.log.
=item o format_internal_html
Render as a HTML table. You can use the pass_thru([$hashref]) method to set options for the HTML table.
The rendering is done internally.
See scripts/internal.html.pl and output file data/internal.html.log.
=item o format_html_table
Passes the data to HTML::Table. You can use the pass_thru([$hashref]) method to set options for the HTML::Table object constructor.
Warning: You must use Text::Table::Manifold's data() method, or the data parameter to
new(), and not the -data option to HTML::Table. This is because the module processes the data before calling the HTML::Table constructor.
=item o format_text_csv
Passes the data to Text::CSV. You can use the pass_thru([$hashref]) method to set options for the Text::CSV object constructor.
See scripts/text.csv.pl and output file data/text.csv.log.
=item o format_text_unicodebox_table
Passes the data to L
See scripts/text.unicodebox.table.pl and output file data/text.unicodebox.table.log.
See also scripts/synopsis.pl, and the output data/synopsis.log.

Aloysius O'Hare
this wiki
|You got a beautiful town here, Ted. Lots of fun stuff to occupy your short attention span. Why, I can't think of any reason you'd ever want to go outside of town again. Ever.
|~ O'Hare to Ted.
|You listen to me, boy. Don't go pokin' around things you don't understand, or I'll be your worst nightmare. I'm Frankenstein's head ON A SPIDER'S BODY!
|~ O'Hare threatening Ted.
Aloysius O'Hare (simply known as O'Hare) is the main antagonist of the 2012 movie adaption of The Lorax. He is the mayor of Thneedville and Ted Wiggins's arch-nemesis.
He was voiced by Rob Riggle, who later voiced another animated character, Bela, and portrayed Mr. Walters, Mr. Dickers, and Travis and Captain Lippencott.
BeginningsAs a teenager, O'Hare got his money-making idea when he saw one of the billboard workers coughing on smog while wondering who will make "the next best thing" after the thneed factory had to shut down for good.
In The LoraxYears later, O'Hare made a fortune selling oxygen tanks for a machine he designed to keep the otherwise smoggy air fresh for Thneedville residents, but in order to sell what people used to get for free, O'Hare's air company went to great lengths to keep the locals from leaving town to prevent them from discovering an alternative (planting trees) to his bottled air. Because of this, Ted made an enemy out of the so-called "elected hero". When Ted spoke for the trees (as though a part of the Lorax was within him) by tearing down the walls of the town to reveal the truth and showing the last tree seed as a start of many much-needed changes for the all-artificial town of Thneedville, O'Hare tried in vain to get the citizens on his own side, revealing his true nature in the process by threatening to fire his delivery man Ci if he doesn't get the people on his side sings that the seed should shrivel up and die. Everyone stops O'Hare by having him blasted off in a jet-helmet by his own henchmen.
O'Hare is a greedy, obnoxious, and cunning businessman who hates trees because (according to him) they are a threat to his air business. He is shown to have the demeanor of a mob member and he also talks about his business like he's running a monopoly (granted he is, but you get my point).
O'Hare has short black hair and is rather short himself, although he is idolized by the citizens. He also has short green eyes. He wears a silver-striped suit with a blue shirt and a grey tie.
- His last name might be a reference to Fred O'Hare from Universal Studios' other film, Hop.
- It could also be a reference to one of the storyboard artists of the film, Mark O'Hare.
- His appearance is also similar to Edna Mode from The Incredibles.
- He is the only Dr. Seuss villain to use profanity.

Notable ideas
Zero Ontology[2]
David Pearce is a British philosopher.[3] He promotes the idea that there exists a strong ethical imperative for humans to work towards the abolition of suffering in all sentient life. His book-length internet manifesto The Hedonistic Imperative[4] outlines how technologies such as genetic engineering, nanotechnology, pharmacology, and neurosurgery could potentially converge to eliminate all forms of unpleasant experience among human and non-human animals, replacing suffering with gradients of well-being, a project he refers to as "paradise engineering".[5] A transhumanist and a vegan,[6] Pearce believes that humans have a responsibility not only to avoid cruelty to animals within human society but also to redesign the global ecosystem so that animals do not suffer in the wild.[7]
Pearce co-founded Humanity+, then known as the World Transhumanist Association, and is a prominent figure in the transhumanism movement, inspiring a strain of transhumanism based on paradise engineering and ending suffering.[8][9][10]
The Hedonistic Imperative[edit]
Pearce is primarily known as the author of The Hedonistic Imperative, a 1995 book-length manifesto in which he theorises how to "eradicate suffering in all sentient life" through paradise engineering.[11] In Pearce's view, suffering is not necessary for humans and only exists because humanity evolved through methods that emphasised survival, rather than happiness.[12] He writes that mental suffering will someday be seen as a relic of the past, just as physical suffering during surgery was effectively eliminated with the advent of anaesthesia.[13]
In his work, Pearce outlines how drugs and technologies, including genetic engineering and nanotechnology, could enable the end of suffering in all sentient life.[14] In the short term, Pearce argues, well-being can be helped by designer drugs, especially since safer mood-brighteners are becoming more readily available.[15] In the long-term, however, suffering could be abolished by genetic engineering through biotechnology.[9]
In 1998, Pearce co-founded Humanity+, the international transhumanism association, with fellow philosopher Nick Bostrom, now the director of the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University.[16] The association, then known as the World Transhumanist Association (WTA), is a nonprofit organisation that advocates transhumanism – an international cultural and intellectual movement with an eventual goal of fundamentally transforming the human condition by developing and making widely available technologies to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities.[17]
Pearce's ideas have inspired a strain of transhumanism based on paradise engineering[9] Pearce is vegan, and the increasing number of vegans and vegetarians in the transhumanism movement has been attributed to his influence.[18]
Pearce has suggested that we might eventually "reprogram predators" to limit predation, reducing the suffering of prey animals.[19][20] Pearce argues that fertility regulation could maintain herbivore populations at sustainable levels, and this would be "a more civilised and compassionate policy option than famine, predation and disease."[21]
Negative Utilitarianism[edit]
Pearce defends a version of negative utilitarianism:
Ethical negative-utilitarianism is a value-system which challenges the moral symmetry of pleasure and pain. It doesn't question the value of enhancing the happiness of the already happy. Yet it attaches value in a distinctively moral sense of the term only to actions which tend to minimise or eliminate suffering. [...] [negative utilitarianism stems from] a deep sense of compassion at the sheer scale and intensity of suffering in the world. No amount of happiness or fun enjoyed by some organisms can notionally justify the indescribable horrors of Auschwitz. Nor can it outweigh the sporadic frightfulness of pain and despair that occurs every second of every day.[22]
Therefore, abolishing suffering should be humanity's highest priority according to Pearce. Pearce believes the only realistic way to do this is "[...] to use biotechnology to eradicate aversive experience in all sentient life. Life-long happiness can be genetically pre-programmed. In the post-Darwinian Era, applied nanotechnology will extend hedonic engineering to all life-forms on the planet."[22][23]
BLTC Research[edit]
Pearce runs a web-hosting company[14] and owns BLTC Research, a series of websites based in Kemptown, Brighton, UK, originally set up by Pearce in 1995 when he published The Hedonistic Imperative. According to the BLTC Research mission statement, the organisation publishes online texts in support of paradise engineering and abolishing sentient suffering for future generations.[24][25][26]
Essays and articles on the BLTC network of websites feature information on many areas of science, including pharmacology, biopsychiatry, and quantum mechanics.[27][28] The websites promote the end of suffering and "high-tech anti-ageing,"[7] among other topics, and have been cited in books written on a variety of subjects, ranging from addiction to ageing.[7][27][29][30][31] The BLTC websites also feature biographies and information about people throughout history, including European physician Arnaldus de Villa Nova, Chilean psychiatrist Claudio Naranjo and Brave New World author Aldous Huxley, which have also been published as sources on these individuals in a variety of books by authors including Dava Sobel.[30][32][33]
Affiliations and appearances[edit]
Pearce is co-editor of Singularity Hypotheses (Springer, 2012), is a fellow with the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies,[34] and was, until 2012, a member of the editorial review board of Medical Hypotheses.[35]
He has been a speaker at many conferences, including 'Humanity+ @San Francisco', Effective Altruism Global, and 'Science, Technology & the Future' in Australia. David has also given talks at the University of Oxford, Lund University, Harvard University, and Stanford University. His work has been covered by Vanity Fair,[36] The Economist,[37] H+ Magazine,[5] BBC Radio,[38] and The Daily Telegraph.[39]

You may feel protective of your work today and fearful that your colleagues or loved ones will jeopardize the projects that are important to you. A strong sense of responsibility can make it difficult for you to work cooperatively with others, particularly if you feel you are accountable for the results of a group project. Delegating work to individuals you respect and hold in high esteem can help assuage your fears. You may discover that you enjoy your personal and professional projects more when you are not overwhelmed by your workload. You may need to accept that others will use different methods and consciously choose to allow them their autonomy. If you have difficulty delegating tasks today, begin by assigning relatively unimportant work to others.
Learning to share responsibility with others can free you from the need to work in isolation and help you avoid becoming overwhelmed by your obligations. Often, because we are afraid to ask people for help or believe that their dedication will not match our own, we avoid delegating tasks to our colleagues or loved ones. When you partition major responsibilities into individual tasks and allow others to assist you, you can accomplish more than you can on your own. You'll feel confident that those you have chosen to work alongside you are capable of handling any challenges that might arise, and as a result you'll have more mental energy to devote to your individual duties. When you freely share responsibility today, you'll have more energy to devote to the tasks that are important to you.

[OLYMPIC WOMEN]Only five countries have won medals in Olympic women's soccer: the USA, Brazil, Germany, Norway and China. It would be a surprise if the medalists at the Beijing Olympics don't come from this quintet of women's soccer powers. Here's a look at key players from each of these five teams.
NATASHA KAI.Kai was 5 years old when she watched her first Olympics. She didn't know what the Olympics was about, but she told her father that she'd play in the Olympics one day. That was 20 years ago. Kai went on to become one of the greatest athletes Hawaii has ever produced, and she now plays a key role on the U.S. women's team that is undefeated in 22 games this year but will be playing without star Abby Wambach in China. Kai has scored 12 goals in 2008 -- more than double the number of goals he scored since making her debut at the 2006 Algarve Cup.
MARTA. The USA beat Brazil, 1-0, in all three meetings in 2008, but the Brazilians were without the 21-year-old Marta, who won the 2007 FIFA World Player of the Year award after leading Brazil to second place at the 2007 Women's World Cup. She returns to China in search of gold. "The team is certainly stronger now and better prepared psychologically to play in a final," she told Reuters. "I attach more value to something I have won in a group than an individual award."
BRIGIT PRINZ.The 30-year-old German has won back-to-back world championships, but this should be the last chance for Prinz and the golden generation of German stars that also includesAriane Hingstand playmaker Renate Lingorto win Olympic gold. Prinz has only two bronze medals in three Olympics. She holds the Women's World Cup record with 14 goals and is tied with Brazilian Pretinha for the Olympic women's record with eight goals.
SOLVEIG GULBRANDSEN. The 27-year-old Gulbrandsen is the only holdover from the Norway team that beat the USA, 3-2, in the thrilling 2000 gold-medal game in Sydney. She has scored 39 goals in 123 games since making her debut as a 15-year-old in 1996 and will be a key player on the team following the retirement of Ragnhild Gulbrandsen (no relation), Lise Klaveness, Camilla Huseand goalkeeper Bente Nordby.
XU YUAN.With Chinese star Ma Xiaoxu out of the Olympics with a knee injury suffered in a scrimmage against the USA last week, fellow striker Xu Yuan will have to come through if the Chinese are to contend for a medal. Praised by former Chinese star Sun Wen for her tricky play in the penalty area, the 22-year-old Xu was a key to China's second-place finish at the 2008 AFC Women's Championship in June.
