These are regarding missing images at the point when the pdfs are being generated. The default location for the project-logo.gif in a freshly seeded site is src/documentation/content/xdocs/images/project-logo.gif whereas the default location used by the build is src/documentation/resources/images/project-logo.gif. The workaround for now is to uncomment the following lines in forrest.properties: project.content-dir... project-xdocs-dir... project.images-dir.. Set project.images-dir to "${project.xdocs-dir}/images".

Funny stories and things that make us laugh
This is a forum for all the funny quips, anecdotes, amusing tales handed down through your family, or quips from books or movies that made you laugh out loud.
You can write a brand new funny story for us all to enjoy.
I'll start off with some of the memorable skits and bits from T.V. and the movies. Not everyone will recognize the references, particularly those who have never watched Canadian or American TV. I'll try to describe them enough in detail that they will still make you laugh.
There was a famous skit from The Carol Burnett Variety show that literally made me fall over laughing. Carol is doing a parody of Gone with the wind.
In the book, Scarlett O'hara is forced to use the draperies to make a new dress so Rhett Butler won't know how poor she has become after the war.
In the skit, Carol comes down the stairs actually wearing the drapes, complete with curtain rods. As she descends, she gets all caught up in the drapes and rolls down the stairs, tail over tea Kettle.
Just about every segment of The Muppet Show made me laugh, hard. I do love those muppets. I particularly liked the swedish chef, who can't get the muppet vegetables to get into the pot to make soup.
I find Ogden Nash, the humourist poet really hilarious.
Here are some of the quotes I like best:
"Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker."
"Do you think my mind is maturing late,Or simply rotted early?
"To keep your marriage brimming, With love in the loving cup, Whenever you're wrong, admit it; Whenever you're right, shut up"
I got a big kick out of the 'lip' singer in the Star Wars canteena.

Asha: FriendsMature
I smiled broadly at Aria's greeting. "Its good to see you again."
"What're y'all doin' here?"
I indicated a house across the way, a couple of houses off being directly opposite.
"Apparently the house with the dark blue door is a safe house. I got sent here by someone so that I could take a break from work."
Aria nodded, her black curls bouncing in the sun. Understanding was clear on her face at my reference to being the Council's-turned-freelance bounty hunter.
"So, are you living alone here or...?" I was curious to find out more about Aria after we had left the Mansion.
"I gotta couple of housemates." She smiled back and I could tell that they would be good people. "And it seems like there's some 'interestin'' folk down the road. She indicated a house with a tilt of her head, where I was able to catch a glimpse of someone apparently levitating large boxes into the house. I shook my head in amazement.
"So this isn't the kind of neighbourhood we need to hide in too much then." I grinned, a touch of mischief in the smile this time. I couldn't help thinking that Liam, my housemate and best friend, would love that.
She shrugged. "Maybe."
"Come over tonight, I want you to meet Liam and we need to catch up properly." I smiled. "And bring your housemates too if you want."
"Sure, see y'all later." Aria gave me one of her easy smiles and she returned to her own house as I wandered down the street, my curiosity piqued. I was able to get a look at an attractive guy walking out the door before I felt a damp nose in my palm.
Hey Liam.I mentally projected my thoughts to him since, in his dog form, he obviously couldn't talk.
Leaving me to do all the unpacking while you go off and drool over guys was not part of the agreement. He grumbled good-naturedly.
I smiled despite myself, taking one last, lingering look as the guy approached before turning back to the house.
Oooh, Asha has the hots for the locals alreadyLiam teased, dancing around me like an excitable puppy.
Shut it you I muttered back, mock-angry. Liam whined, givng me the puppy eyes as I unlocked the front door. I rolled my eyes at his theatrics and laughed as he butted the back of my legs.
"You do realise that acting like that could clue people up about you." I spoke normally now.
Liam scoffed, phasing back into his human form. Standing at just over six feet tall, with eyes a shade of green so bright that they almost glowed, as well as messy, dark hair on the long side of average length, he was extremely attractive. Oddly enough, nothing had ever happened between us. We'd been through too much together. His eyes were bright with his teasing and one corner of his mouth quirked up in a grin. I sighed at his irrepressible nature, shaking my head whilst matching his smile and proceeded upstairs at my normal pace to start unpacking.
"Show off" Liam called upstairs after me.
"As if you won't the first chance you get to take your clothes off."
"But you love that."
"In your dreams, Scooby."
I laughed as I heard him grumbling at the mild insult. Since shifters like him had a serious sense of pride, being compared to a cartoon character was a sure-fire way to end any argument. I unpacked and cajoled Liam until he left to get some food that was 'not freaking vampire shit'. I then moved at top speed to get the house in a presentable state for our visitors. I half-smiled once I was done and was fixing my hair when Liam arrived back.
"Visitors arriving in a bit. Make yourself presentable." I spoke as he appeared behind me, slouching in the door frame.
"Yes m'am." He gave me a sarcastic salute, speaking with the tiniest drop of venom in his voice as he turned. I pounced with a hug before he got to complete the turn. He huffed in surprise, then put his arms round me, squeezing lightly to let me know that all was forgiven.
"Don't be long." I gave him a gentle nudge and he half-smiled back, saluting me again, affectionately this time as he disappeared to prepare. I did the same, finding my thoughts drift to the guy I'd seen earlier. His grey eyes had been as enticing as Liam's had been in the beginning and I wondered at his story. However, all too soon, the doorbell rang and I allowed myself to be swept up in introductions and renewing friendships.

Executive Summary
This security update addresses a privately reported vulnerability that is
common to multiple ActiveX controls and is currently being exploited. The
vulnerability that affects ActiveX controls that were compiled using the
vulnerable version of the Microsoft Active Template Library (ATL) could allow
remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted Web page with
Internet Explorer, instantiating the ActiveX control. Users whose accounts
are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted
than users who operate with administrative user rights.

"After the tailspin of 2013, emerging markets are now looking cheap, says Mark Mobius, Templeton Emerging Markets executive chairman. He tells the FT's Josh Noble that tapering has been fully priced in and that far from being another bad year, 2014 should see outperformance by the sector."
Thoughts? SPY has been outperforming EEM since the end of 2010. But if you look back 11 years, you can see that the U.S. market is just catching up with the emerging markets (with help from the Fed). EEM is about to make a big decision on its chart.
Here are Mark Mobius' thoughts on China via Barron's:
Q: What kind of GDP growth and earnings growth do you expect in China next year?
A: Seven percent [economic] growth. As a general rule, you can double the economic number to get a number for earnings growth. For China, we're looking at least 14% earnings growth.
Q: What do you think of stock valuations in the Chinese market?
A: Equity valuations overall are not much above their 2008 lows, and we believe that many of China's A-shares are attractively priced. The A-share market … gives an investor more opportunities to invest in smaller companies and sectors. such as tourism, pharmaceuticals, consumer and biotechnology [versus] H-shares or red chips.
I think Michael Pettis, author of the China Financial Markets blog, has a very interesting view on China's rebalancing. He's thinks China's economic reforms (its shift away from investment spending) will cause China's GDP growth to "drop sharply."
Here are charts courtesy of StockCharts.com.
SPY vs. EEM since 2003
There's a big move coming for EEM. I hope Mr. Mobius is watching this chart.

Washington watchdog Judicial Watch has obtained videos of seminars for U.S. Department of Agriculture employees with an instructor explaining that the "Pilgrims were illegal aliens."
Now JW president Tom Fitton is wondering who can "explain how any of this helps USDA employees better serve the American taxpayer?"
"This video further confirms that politically correct diversity training programs are both offensive and waste of taxpayer money," he said. "No wonder it took over half a year to obtain this video from the Obama administration."
Judicial Watch officials said they had gotten a tip from someone subjected to the training, and filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the video.
The organization said the "Cultural Sensitivity Training" demanded USDA employees bang on tables, chant "The pilgrims were illegal aliens" and were instructed no longer to use the word "minorities."
The training, done on a government contract by Samuel Betances, told the workers that they should say "emerging majorities" instead.
According to JW's report, "The sensitivity training sessions, described as 'a huge expense' by diversity awareness trainer and self-described 'citizen of the world' Samuel Betances, were held on USDA premises. The diversity event is apparently part of what USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack described in a memo sent to all agency employees as a 'new era of Civil Rights' and 'a broader effort towards cultural transformation at USDA.' In 2011 and 2012, the USDA paid Betances and his firm nearly $200,000 for their part in the 'cultural transformation' program."
Among the highlights of the video of the training seminar:
"This USDA diversity training video depicts out-of-control political correctness," said Fitton.
Judicial Watch said it also previously uncovered information revealing that in April 2011, the USDA had treated 300 of its employees to a taxpayer-funded "tasty celebration" of dishes from around the world, salsa dancing lessons from Vincent Loran, and a rap performance by a USDA employee who shared his feelings on human differences.
'Can someone please explain how any of this helps employees?' ...more

Clyde & Co's India-based alliance firm ALMT Legal is to open an office in Delhi in a effort to expand its international practice.
Clydes chief executive Peter Hasson said: "The relationship with [us] has given ALMT the confidence to make [this] investment."
Clydes announced its alliance with ALMT last year (The Lawyer, 4 June 2009). Local bar rules prevent too close a relationship between the two firms, but they have pledged to exchange information and put in place joint training programmes.
Hasson said the firms also operate a secondee programme between Clydes' Middle East offices and ALMT's Mumbai base, which provides both parties with a string of referrals. The relationship, he added, "provides a way for ALMT clients to get into the international marketplace".
He added: "The key to this relationship is not formal structure. We spent a lot of time looking for a firm that shared a view with us on how it wanted to develop."
Clydes held a meeting with ALMT in the summer, at which the UK firm expressed an ambition to see ALMT build a litigation team and expand into marine law.
The Delhi hub will form a critical part of Clydes' international network as a stop-gap between its Middle East and Far East bases.
ALMT has recruited a team of three, led by partner Vineet Aneja from Luthra & Luthra, for the new base.
Aneja aims to bring in 10-15 mostly corporate lawyers in the first year.

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The dollar is extending its four-day rally versus the Swiss franc, setting a fresh five-day high at 1.0267 as investors took positions before the release of Switzerland's production and import price index at the opening of the European session. The par is currently trading at pre-PPI-release levels around 1.0244.
On the day, the pair has gained around 60 pips from its opening price of 1.0186, a jump good enough to break above the MA-55 on the daily charts. Today's earnings extend the dollar's multi-day rally after having fallen for almost two-weeks from a 1.0509 high on December 23.
The estimated test of key resistance range levels has been confirmed with signs of conditions for implementation of the pre-planned short positions, said Igor Kulaga, analyst for Forex Lt. Nevertheless, at this point, considering some preservation of bullish momentum, we can assume probability of further rate correction period with another test of Senkou Span B line of Ichimoku cloud at 1,0240/60, where it is recommended to evaluate the development of the activity of both parties in accordance with the charts of a shorter time interval.
The Swiss PPI for December was slightly below market expectations at 0.1% compared to the forecasts of 0.2% for the month-over-month while in yearly terms it was the expected -2.5%.

The importance of toughness in the playoffs has nothing to do with fighting. It's about the fire to win one-on-one battles for the puck, standing up to the physical challenges and wearing down the opposition with size and aggressiveness. It's about finishing checks, relentless forechecking and creating loose pucks with bodychecks. USA TODAY hockey reporter Kevin Allen ranks the playoff teams' toughness:
1. Anaheim Ducks: The Ducks' toughness goes beyond their league lead in fighting majors. They have some size up front, and Chris Pronger was the 800-pound gorilla of last season's playoffs. He's 6-6; he can have a grizzly-like presence in a seven-game series. Dustin Penner is 245 pounds. Travis Moen has toughness, as does Brad May, Sean O'Donnell, etc. The list goes on and on because general manager Brian Burke believes in tough teams.
2. San Jose Sharks: The Sharks are big up front, and they wear down the opposition. They added to their aggressiveness at the trade deadline by bringing in Bill Guerin. Joe Thornton isn't just a great offensive player. He's 235 pounds and tires the opposition with his strength. Kyle McLaren and Mike Grier have some size and snarl. Mark Bell and Ryane Clowe are aggressive. Craig Rivet will do whatever it takes to win. He's tougher than you know.
3. Calgary Flames: The Flames don't forecheck as aggressively as they did in their Finals run in 2004. Maybe they are living a bit on their reputation. But their defense is rugged. Dion Phaneuf might be the best hitter in the game. Robyn Regehr is big and strong. Rhett Warrener will punish forwards. Brad Stuart is strong. And Jarome Iginla is a warrior.
4. Vancouver Canucks: Kevin Bieksa quickly has become one of the NHL's tougher defensemen. Willie Mitchell has some size and ruggedness on the blue line. Taylor Pyatt is a big winger, and Jeff Cowan has upgraded the toughness. Mattias Ohlund and Sami Salo aren't punishing D men, but they are 6-2 and 6-3, respectively. Likewise, although Henrik and Daniel Sedin aren't going to hurt opposing forwards, they are gritty on the puck. Matt Cooke is an irritating presence. He's a fire starter.
5. New York Rangers: Two months ago, you would not have considered the Rangers to have good team toughness. But the Rangers are 17-6-6 since acquiring feisty forward Sean Avery and he seems to have infused some courage into this team. If you ask around the league, the Rangers are competing as aggressively as anyone. Brendan Shanahan is big, strong, and he still can be aggressive when he needs to be. Ryan Hollweg is respected for his tenacity.
6. Dallas Stars: The Stars compete as aggressively as any team in the league. They wear out opponents by challenging for every puck. Gritty Brenden Morrow is the flag carrier of this attack. Mattias Norstrom added more power and strength to the blue line.
7. Atlanta Thrashers: Defenseman Garnet Exelby can lay a smack on a forward better than almost anyone in the Eastern Conference. Andy Sutton is 6-6, 245. Shane Hnidy has an edge. The Atlanta D has toughness. Bobby Holik, a 230-pound center, is difficult to move, and now irascible power forward Keith Tkachuk has been added to the mix. The Thrashers are tougher than their reputation.
8. Pittsburgh Penguins: The acquisition of gritty Gary Roberts and big-bodied Georges Laraque added two layers of toughness. But don't underestimate the other feisty Penguins, such as Jarkko Ruutu or Brooks Orpik. There is a large club of Ruutu haters around the league, and they get distracted by his style. Colby Armstrong also doesn't back down. But more important, Sidney Crosby competes with molten intensity. He's compared to Wayne Gretzky but can play more like a Steve Yzerman or Mark Messier.
9. New Jersey Devils: The Devils might have more team toughness than individual toughness now, although Colin White still can punish when he clears his crease. Mike Rupp has an edge. Cam Janssen is the team protector, but he doesn't play enough to be a major factor.
10. Minnesota Wild: Aggressiveness is part of this team's identity. There's no one on the team that strikes fear into the opposition, and the defense isn't a physically forceful unit. But they pressure opponents enough to wear them down.
11. Buffalo Sabres: The Sabres are deeply skilled, but not nearly as big and rugged as you want a contender to be. However, the Sabres compensate by finishing every check. They are relentless. They don't quit. They buzz around like wasps at the family picnic.
12. Nashville Predators: The Predators are really a skilled, skating team, but Shea Weber is a force on defense. If he is in the lineup, Vitaly Vishnevski can hit. Up front, Scott Hartnell can be a pain to play against. Fire hydrant-sized Jordin Tootoo stirs up trouble and generally infuriates opponents. He's disruptive, and although he's a small man, he causes pain when he staples foes against the glass. The Preds have some toughness in their role players as well, but the real upgrade comes with the presence of Peter Forsberg, who competes intensely.
13. Detroit Red Wings: Improving the team's aggressiveness was an objective at the trade deadline, and GM Ken Holland addressed it by bringing in hard-driving Kyle Calder and wide-bodied Todd Bertuzzi. Although Bertuzzi doesn't necessarily pound opponents, he wears them down with his size and strength. Just in the last week, two opponents were hurt trying to check him. Kris Draper and Kirk Maltby can be belligerent. At 45, Chris Chelios can be prickly. But the Red Wings are a puck- possession team, not a physical team.
14. New York Islanders: The loss of Chris Simon hurts because he was a rough competitor who took a regular shift. Brendan Witt plays a rough style, Sean Hill plays with an edge and nobody drives harder to the net than Ryan Smyth. But this isn't an overly rough team.
15. Ottawa Senators: Pugnacious right wing Chris Neil can create havoc, and no one in this league competes more aggressively than two-way center Mike Fisher. The Senators can handle physical play, but they don't dish out much on a team-wide basis.
16. Tampa Bay Lightning: The acquisition of pugilistic Shane O'Brien upgraded their team toughness. He will protect his teammates. The Lightning wanted to do more, but their salary cap issues limited their flexibility. They did pick up Jason Ward, a hard-nosed player who can play an aggressive style.

B-6 is a water soluable vitamin, so it passes thru your system quickly if not absorbed by the body. It is also burned up quickly by stress. This size allows you to choose to take more per day if desired, rather than a time delay version which costs more. I like NOW products generally, as they at least meet the industry basic standard of GMP (good manufacturing practices).

I have been taking B6 for sometime and I decided to order it from you because I could get a larger bottle. I find it helps with the area around joints and makes them less painful. I had an experience with my thumb one time and the pain was very bad when I tried to move it. The B6 eliminated it within 2 months and it has never returned. It is supposed to relieve carpal tunnel syndrome. It also helped with some tendon problems in my arm.
I dream again.

Cognitive/Personality Subtypes of Depression: Theories in Search of Disorders
- Cite this article as:
- Abramson, L.Y., Alloy, L.B. & Hogan, M.E. Cognitive Therapy and Research (1997) 21: 247. doi:10.1023/A:1021870315058

As a complement to clinical and quantitative approaches to subdividing the depressive disorders, some recent researchers have taken a theory-based approach and hypothesized the existence of three cognitive/personality subtypes: Hopelessness Depression (HD), Dependent/Sociotropic Depression (D/S Dep), and Self-Critical/Autonomous Depression (S-C/A Dep). We describe and compare these hypothesized subtypes. In so doing, we present new findings from our ongoing Cognitive Vulnerability to Depression (CVD) project. Conceptual analysis and preliminary empirical results from our CVD project suggest that HD overlaps, in part, with D/S Dep and S-C/A Dep. However, the relationship does not appear to be as simple as vulnerability to HD in the interpersonal domain mapping directly on to D/S Dep nor vulnerability to HD in the achievement domain mapping directly on to S-C/A Dep. We identify and discuss three critical issues that need to be addressed to conduct a more powerful search for HD, D/S Dep, and S-C/A Dep: (1) the problem of specifying congruency between vulnerability and stress; (2) surprising vulnerability-stress interactions; and (3) going beyond common language definitions of symptoms. Finally, we conclude by pointing out that research on the cognitive/personality subtypes has a cumulative character and hasn't succumbed to the "General MacArthur Syndrome."

7 Jan 2017
I am a lawyer specializing in intellectual property ("IP") and related areas of law. I offer a wide range of services though I do not try to do everything. However, if a client needs a service that I do not supply or that can be supplied better by someone else I will introduce the client to the appopriate service provider. I am therefore a point of access to the legal system.
Services that I do provide
I advise on difficult points of law, draft contracts and other legal documents and present cases to courts and other tribunals. I am also an arbitrator and mediator.
Patent, Trade Mark and Design Applications
I do not prosecute patent, trade mark or design registration applications, search for prior art or antecedent trade mark or design registrations or arrange watch services because patent and trade mark attorneys are best qualified to do that work. However, I am often asked by attorneys to advise on the patentability of inventions or the registrability of marks and designs, to draft statements of case or to appear for them at hearings before a hearing officer, Appointed Person or appeal court. Although I always encourage clients to instruct attorneys to apply for patents, trade marks or registered designs, they do not, or cannot, always take that advice. If a client acts for him or herself and runs into difficulty I will advise and assist him or her as far as I can without taking over the application.
Similarly, I do not conduct litigation even though I have successfully completed litigation training because litigation usually requires resources that only a law firm can provide. There are, however, exceptions such as where there is insufficient time to instruct a solicitor in time to discharge or vary a search order or other "without notice" injunction, where the filing and correspondence can conveniently be done by the client such or actions in the small claims track or domain name disputes where the successful party cannot recover its costs.
Advice on Difficult Points of Law
Probably the time at which I can be of most use to a business is before it starts trading. At that stage I can advise it of the IP protection and licences that it needs and the risk of clashes with other IP owners. I can help set up procedures for identifying intellectual assets and protecting sensitive commercial and technical information. I can ensure all procurement and supply agreements are in order and that IP insurance or some other funding for infringement, invalidity and revocation disputes is in place.
Other services that I carry out include IP audits (cataloguing intellectual assets, their legal protection, licences and possible risk of claims or objections by third parties), reviewing collaboration agreements with universities, businesses and other institutions, and assisting when a business wants to grant or acquire a franchise, commission or license software, transfer technology under a patent or know-how licence, deposit source code or some other information in escrow, enter a joint venture or some other commercial contract.
If it appears that a client's patent or other IP right has been infringed or if a client is accused of infringing someone else's IPR, I can advise on the strength of the claim and the defence and the options that exist for resolving the dispute. If a dispute is not resolved I can advise on the testimonial, documentary and material evidence required for a trial, arbitration or other hearing.
Drafting Complex Legal Documents
I draft software development contracts, escrow instruments, privacy codes, franchise, joint venture and other agreements, licences, privacy codes, intellectual asset and information handling policies for businesses.
I also draft letters before claim and replies, particulars of claim or points of claim, defences, replies and other statements of case for use before the courts, Intellectual Property Office ("IPO") and other tribunals, application notices for injunctions and other interim relief, minutes of order, witness statements and affidavits, skeleton arguments, notices of appeal and other documents for use in litigation and arbitration.
Presenting Cases
I appear in IP and related cases before all courts and tribunals including, in particular, the Patents Court, the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court (IPEC), the Chancery Division and County Court hearing centres where there is also a Chancery District Registry.
I also appear in ex parte (hearings to resolve disputes with examiners) and inter partes (hearings to resolve disputes such as entitlement to patents or oppositions to the registration of trade marks) hearings in the IPO.
I offer a capped fee service for all drafting and advocacy from settling the letter before claim or reply to a final hearing in the small claims track of IPEC.
I offer a fixed fee service for drafting requests for an examiner's opinion on the validity of a patent, whether it has been infringed or other matters in the IPO as well as observations on another party's request for an opinion.
Similarly, I offer a fixed fee service for drafting a complaint or a response in a generic or country code top level domain name dispute.
I help to settle all kinds of IP disputes before proceedings are issued and afterwards. I am a member of the WIPO's mediation panel.
I resolve all kinds of IP disputes particularly those arising from software procurement, franchising and licensing. I am a member of the WIPO arbitration and domain name panels.

This Is What Your Farts Reveal About Your Health
Whoever smelt it dealt it – but did you know that whoever smelt it could also have a reduced risk of cancer?
An average person farts 14 times a day… Luckily, the majority of your farts take place at night while sleeping. Being gassy is never fun, especially when you're surrounded by other people but it happens to the best of us.
But if you're dealing with more frequent gas than usual, your body might be trying to send you some hints about how it's functioning. Read on to see if one of these culprits is behind your sudden stinkiness.
Symptoms of gas
A healthy person passes gas an average of 13-21 times per day, but there could be a problem if it's significantly higher than that. Burping, bloating, and abdominal discomfort can also indicate that a little too much air has made its way inside the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
Causes of gas
Plenty of things can lead to extra air in the plumbing. Gas is a combination of air introduced into the GI tract from outside your body (i.e., room air) and various chemical gases produced by bacteria in the colon.
The way gas gets inside can contribute to how smelly or loud passing it will be. Thankfully, the kind of gas that comes from swallowed air, carbonated beverages, etc., isn't all that odiferous. But these are the farts that can break the sound barrier if a large amount of air gets swallowed. While the gas made by bacteria isn't quite as voluminous, it can make for quite the stink bomb. Certain bacteria make gases containing sulfur, a stinky chemical that's also given off by rotting eggs.
There are a bunch of things that can lead to extra gas buildup. We'll start with the relatively normal causes of gas and work our way to the more severe.
- Swallowed air.Eating too fast, chewing gum, smoking, drinking carbonated beverages, and drinking through a straw can all introduce gas into the GI tract.
- When gas runs into a roadblock, it can lead to bloating, discomfort, and even sharp pain. Think of it as your body pulling a Gandalf: "You shall not pass!"
- Eating certain foods.Some foods like avocados, cherries, and plums; legumes like beans, lentils, and soybeans; and wheat, onions, and garlic, among others, are notorious for causing gas. When the human digestive system can't break down a particular food, the nutrients pass into the colon where they become chow for good bacteria. A byproduct of bacterial digestion? You guessed it—gas. The type of food consumed and the kinds of bacteria present in an individual's colon will determine how much gas is produced and how smelly it is.
- Artificial sweeteners.Certain artificial sweeteners (when consumed in excessive amounts) cause gas and diarrhea in healthy people. These sweeteners are often used in chewing gum.
- Food intolerances. Some people lack the digestive enzymes necessary to break down a particular food like dairy products or foods containing gluten. If your body is having trouble breaking down certain foods, it'll let you know via gas. If you notice an upset stomach every time you consume these foods, your doctor can help you come up with a plan to relieve your symptoms as much as possible.
The Takeaway
From everyday occurrences like chewing to life-threatening conditions, a ton of things cause gas. Depending on the reason behind the bloat, there are actually a number of practical solutions to minimize gas or discomfort. Food choices can be a big trigger due to the complex interactions between you, your food, and the bacterial tenants of your gut. However, scientists are still working out many of the details of just how this works. Most of all, you can take comfort that most gas is 100 percent normal. Farting is the human condition, and that's no joke.

FAMILIES from across the region enjoyed a sun-soaked agricultural show.
Hundreds flocked to the 35th Caerwys Show which took place on Saturday.
It was a chance to admire farming's finest with skilled workers, award-winning animals and beautiful machinery on display for all to see.
Classic cars, sheep-sheering and hay bale rolling were the order of the day along with fun events for the children.
The event saw visitors competing in a range of events involving showhorses, livestock and vintage tractors.
Paula Spencer, the showground manager, said: "It's very much a family event. Once people have paid to get in, there's plenty for children to do for free including the Punch and Judy show and circus skills workshops.
"Over the years I think we've grown and grown but now we're at the stage where we can't get any bigger because we've got no more land. What we try and do instead is make sure it's as interesting as possible."
The event which was attended by community leaders including Caerwys Mayor Lynette Edwards and Delyn MP David Hanson was visited by a range of the finest horses including shires and shetland ponies.
Competitions were also held for other livestock from sheep to hens - while others brought along classic cars, motorbikes and vintage machinery for the crowds to admire.
Alun Jones from Saltney showed off his sheep-shearing skills with the help of daughter Millie-Anne Jones, 6, and David Brown was among those passing on traditional craft skills to anyone brave enough to have a try.
Age of the Princes, a group which aims to bring Wales' heritage to life, were on hand to give a demonstration of medieval life, while also showcasing artefacts from years gone by.
And Ridgeside Falconry and Lurcher Display came along to show off the hunting abilities of the lurcher in the main ring while a display of owls, falcons, eagles and vultures also took place.
Children got the chance to row on a coracle boat, an ash-framed craft, before the event culminated in the roll-the-bale competition, which saw pairs competing to see who could push their bale across the main ring in the fastest time.
