|Posted by nicolafinucane09 3 years, 8 months ago
I used to dress myself up like Nancy when I was younger, I would have been in my first year of senior school (age 12) - its what first got me interested in wicca & witchcraft. A HUGE favourite of mine. I loved the fact they're at a catholic school having to go to daily mass etc. as did I.
|Posted by Sarah_Says 3 years, 11 months ago
Great film! Somewhat of a classic for me as watched this often with my friends when I was a teenager! we would always try to do the 'Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board' - of course it never worked!! A really enjoyable movie!
|Posted by farhansubhani 6 years, 4 months ago
this is my all time fav movie...really creepy n full of spells,magic,witches... :)
|Posted by ConnieWhispers 2 years, 8 months ago
This has remained my number one all time favorite. I have watched this probably over a hundred times or more. I even own the DVD with a smirk on my face. Everything about this movie when I was young thought Fairuza Balk was just totally rad. Lol. Over ten plus!
|Posted by Epiphany84 4 years, 2 months ago ( Edited 4 years, 2 months ago )
Definitely one of my all-time favorites! I've watched this movie sooooo many times. And so more many times! It NEVER gets old. High school (in movies) was so much cooler in the 90's! This is a classic.

Another one of the best films revolving around witchcraft. A excellent cast of characters, a great plot, and a excellent finish. 10/10 stars

I remember a friend practically compelling me to watch this movie.I didn't want to since I had a pre-watching opinion that it is pure s**t.Then she stayed at my place for a sleepover and I had no choice but watching with her.I must say I felt ashamed for not watching when she told me.IT WAS AMAZING!!!

Love this movie. Classic teen story. Mean Girls was a total rip off of this... except the girls werent witches. AHS Coven was also inspired by this I think. 4/5
|Posted by abeautywithin2 1 year, 6 months ago
I like this movie,all the actor's, performed well.I am not into witchcraft, but, I must say, the thought of getting back at the one's, that have done you some kind of harm, isn't such, a bad idea,lol.! This movie, has a lot of, "be careful what you wish for, you just might get it" and "KARMA"! Great watch! 3.5/5
|Posted by saxmis 1 year, 10 months ago
This was actually really awesome, I can't believe that it took me this long to see it! I know I would have loved this as a teenager, shame it's a little late.
|Posted by bilautaa 2 years, 3 months ago
That was super interesting and it was realistic to see how the mind can be tricked, though they said it was though magic. reminded me a bit of "Oculus". The bugs made my skin crawl! It is true though, that what you do to others will likely come back to you.

Basic Requirements For Cleanse
- Expose yourself to as much fresh air as possible.
- Get as much physical and emotional rest as possible.
- Stay hydrated with water-rich foods and liquids.
- Minimize your exposure to exogenous and endogenous toxins
List Of Vegetables And Fruits
• Dark green, leafy lettuce (romaine, red leaf, green leaf)
• Avocados
• Tomatoes
• Cucumbers
• Celery
• Carrots
• Red beets (one or two will last a week)
• Zucchini
• Bell peppers
• Broccoli
• Cauliflower
• Cabbage
• Asparagus
• Onions
• Corn
• Yukon gold or new potatoes
• Sweet potatoes or yams
• Acorn or butternut squash
• Watermelon
• Honeydew
• Cantaloupe
• Pears
• Apples
• Bananas
• Mangoes
• Papaya
• Peaches
• Plums
• Nectarines
• Grapes
• Coconut
• Oranges and grapefruit
• Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, goji berries, and any other berries that you
• Any other fruits or vegetables that you enjoy raw or juiced
Some easy methods how to cleanse your body naturally. Just try to follow this infographic for few weeks. A complete body detox is a step-by-step process that focuses on each organ involved in ridding the body of toxins. The program should focus on removing harmful organisms, chemicals, and toxic metals while cleansing your colon, liver, and kidneys. Cleansing the colon is an important part of any full body cleansing methods.
How to Prepare
- Coffee
- Alcohol
- Salt
- Sugar and other sweeteners
- All animal foods, including dairy, eggs, fish, shellfish, chicken, beef, pork, and all other flesh meats
These foods put significant strain on your digestive organs, and avoiding them "cold turkey" can sometimes create withdrawal symptoms that are too powerful for some people to tolerate. It's fine to eat grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds right up until the day before you begin your intense period of detox – these foods are rich in fiber, and their remains should move through your digestive tract without too much difficulty during your intense cleanse. If you don't wish to spend up to a week to taper your intake of the foods listed above, it's fine to begin right away; just be aware that you may experience highly uncomfortable symptoms of withdrawal, like strong headaches, lightheadedness, and nausea. Other than tapering the foods-to-avoid during your cleanse, all that remains during the preparatory phase is to make sure that your kitchen is well stocked with vegetables and fruits that you enjoy.
- For most people, vegetables and fruits are extremely easy to digest.
- Vegetables and fruits are naturally rich in water; staying hydrated is an essential requirement for an intense, full body cleanse. For the vast majority of people, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and all cooked animal foods are harder to digest than vegetables and fruits. So for an intense period of cleansing, it's best to avoid everything but vegetables, fruits, their juices, and water.

CANNON BALL, N.D. -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said Sunday that it won't grant an easement for the Dakota Access oil pipeline in southern North Dakota, handing a victory to the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and its supporters, who argued the project would threaten the tribe's water source and cultural sites.
North Dakota's leaders criticized the decision, with Gov. Jack Dalrymple calling it a "serious mistake" that "prolongs the dangerous situation" of having several hundred protesters who are camped out on federal land during cold, wintry weather. U.S. Rep. Kevin Cramer said it's a "very chilling signal" for the future of infrastructure in the United States.
The four-state, $3.8 billion project is largely complete except for the now-blocked segment underneath Lake Oahe, a Missouri River reservoir. Assistant Secretary for Civil Works Jo-Ellen Darcy said in a news release that her decision was based on the need to "explore alternate routes" for the pipeline's crossing. Her full decision doesn't rule out that it could cross under the reservoir or north of Bismarck.
"Although we have had continuing discussion and exchanges of new information with the Standing Rock Sioux and Dakota Access, it's clear that there's more work to do," Darcy said. "The best way to complete that work responsibly and expeditiously is to explore alternate routes for the pipeline crossing."
The company constructing the pipeline, Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners, had said it was unwilling to reroute the project. It had no immediate comment Sunday.
The decision came a day before the government's deadline for the several hundred people at the Oceti Sakowin, or Seven Council Fires, encampment to leave the federal land. But demonstrators say they're prepared to stay, and authorities say they won't forcibly remove them.
As the news spread Sunday, cheers and cheers and chants of "mni wichoni" -- "water is life" in Lakota Sioux -- broke out among the protesters. Some in the crowd banged drums. Miles Allard, a member of the Standing Rock Sioux, said he was pleased but remained cautious, saying, "We don't know what Trump is going to do."
"The whole world is watching," Allard added. "I'm telling all our people to stand up and not to leave until this is over."
Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Sunday that the Department of Justice will "continue to monitor the situation" and stands "ready to provide resources to help all those who can play a constructive role in easing tensions."
"The safety of everyone in the area - law enforcement officers, residents and protesters alike - continues to be our foremost concern," she added.
Carla Youngbear of the Meskwaki Potawatomi tribe made her third trip from central Kansas to be at the protest site.
"I have grandchildren, and I'm going to have great grandchildren," she said. "They need water. Water is why I'm here."
Standing Rock Sioux tribal chairman Dave Archambault didn't immediately respond to messages left seeking comment.
Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier, whose department has done much of the policing for the protests, said that "local law enforcement does not have an opinion" on the easement and that his department will continue to "enforce the law."
U.S. Secretary for the Interior Sally Jewell said in a statement that the Corps' "thoughtful approach ... ensures that there will be an in-depth evaluation of alternative routes for the pipeline and a closer look at potential impacts."
Earlier Sunday, an organizer with Veterans Stand for Standing Rock said tribal elders had asked the military veterans not to have confrontations with law enforcement officials, adding the group is there to help out those who've dug in against the project.
About 250 veterans gathered about a mile from the main camp for a meeting with organizer Wes Clark Jr., the son of former Democratic presidential candidate Gen. Wesley Clark. The group had said about 2,000 veterans were coming, but it wasn't clear how many actually arrived. "We have been asked by the elders not to do direct action," Wes Clark Jr. said. He added that the National Guard and law enforcement have armored vehicles and are armed, warning: "If we come forward, they will attack us."

Support for spelling www.steveslearning.com
1. Some spellings can be remembered by learning a rule, (e.g. i before e except after c, etc.) 2. Some spelling can be learned phonetically. If you pronounce the word correctly, you can often spell it correctly.. 3. Some spelling can be learned by breaking the word into syllables or smaller sections. 4. Some words can be learned by using tricks that are appropriate to your learning style. 5. Some spelling words must, unfortunately, be memorized. 2www.steveslearning.com
Look carefully at words that you regularly get wrong – and break them down into bits (this will help you to see how the part of the word that you got wrong works – it will also provide you with a mnemonic to help you to remember the word in the future.) Do you always hear this word correctly? Sometimes people miss out or mispronounce syllables (e.g. Febuary instead of February) It is essential to note and practice words or particular letter sequences within words that cause you problems - little and often is the rule. A lot of being able to spell is using your visual memory. 3www.steveslearning.com
LOOK – look carefully at the word breaking it down into its chunks in your head. SAY – Say the word out loud – make sure you are saying correctly (spelling mistakes are often related to hearing mistakes) COVER – Cover the word up – with paper or had – No peeping! WRITE – Write the word down CHECK - Success!!!!! No? Try again. 4www.steveslearning.com

The Best Backpacking Stoves of 2017
What is the best backpacking stove for trips in the backcountry? Out of a field of 50, we selected 10 to put through their paces side-by-side in the wilderness during all kinds of weather, as well as in our garage for a more scientific head-to-head boil time test. We used these stoves over several seasons all over the United States on many backcountry and frontcountry adventures to figure out which ones are the lightest, most fuel efficient, and can actually cook a meal you would like to eat. The amount of miles walked, pitches climbed, and Ramen noodles consumed are immeasurable, but we think we have a handle on what the best stove is for you.

Analysis and Award Winners
May 2017 Update
For our spring update, we take a look at some of the popular favorites, as well as new stoves that were added to our new 2017 review. While MRS wins the Editors' Choice award, we have a few new high scorers and award winners, like the Primus Classic Trail, which takes home the Best Buy award. The competition continues to grow, forcing some old favorites towards the bottom of our fleet.
Best Overall Backpacking Stove
MSR Pocket Rocket 2
The original Pocket Rocket was a legendary small canister stove. It set a high standard in its time for weight and packability. MSR managed to knock off some weight and bulk for the Pocket Rocket 2, making this stove a good choice for backpackers who seek a svelte pack. Our testers also found it superior to the original in simmering ability, making it a good choice for those who enjoy actually cooking (and eating!) a meal in the backcountry. While we missed the piezoelectric lighter built into other stoves in this review, like the Jetboil Flash, we still feel that the MSR Pocket Rocket 2 is better than anything else on the market for backpacking and deserves our Editors' Choice award!
Very light
Great at simmering
Relatively inexpensive
Average fuel efficiency
Smallish pot supports
No piezo ignition

Best Bang For The Buck
Primus Classic Trail
The Primus Classic Trail looks like an old school small canister stove. However, our testers were pleasantly surprised with its performance. Cranking it wide open creates a nice large flame, and it can be turned down to simmer almost as well as the Editor's Choice Pocket Rocket 2. The big pot supports and burner head work well with pots that are 3 liters or larger in volume or large frying pans, making this stove a good choice for backpackers who want the convenience of a canister stove for group cooking. Though it's no match in weight to other small canister stoves, it's lighter than a liquid fuel stove and slightly less bulky than an integrated canister stove burner head. If you are an occasional backpacker, backcountry fisherman who wants to saute your catch on the spot, car camper who wants a backup stove, or prepper putting together an emergency kit the Classic Trail could be just right.

Top Pick For Expeditions
MSR Whisperlite
The MSR Whisperlite is the original gangster of the liquid fuel stove world. This tried and true workhorse of a stove is near and dear to many adventurer's hearts. This same model has been on the market for over 25 years with few modifications because it works so well. We love that it is simple, reliable, and easy to repair in the field. While it's not as light or small as a canister stove our testers still reach for the Whisperlite for any multi-day adventure that involves melting snow for a group and feel confident that it will work for us in the toughest conditions. It requires savviness to simmer - more than other liquid fuel stoves, like the MSR Dragonfly and Primus Omnilite Ti, but cooking delicate meals is still do-able. It is much quieter than other liquid fuel stoves, hence its name — so conversations in the kitchen are possible. If you're planning to use this stove internationally, check out the Whisperlite International for superior compatibility.
Relatively simple
Field repairable
Difficult to simmer

Top Pick Integrated Canister Stove
JetBoil MiniMo
The Jetboil MiniMo is an improved integrated canister stove from the company that invented the category. Like its predecessors the burner head and pot mate solidly, allowing backpackers to pick up or pour with no concerns about the hot burner falling off unexpectedly. Early Jetboil piezoelectric lighters were notorious for failing, so our testers made a point of using it a lot and had no problems. The other big improvement over early Jetboils is the burner head. The MiniMo's burner was a top performer in fuel efficiency and boil time. It also simmers better than other integrated canister stoves. This, combined with the short and wide cup shape, open up new possibilities for actual cooking. As with other Jetboil brand stoves, wind is the Achilles heel of the MiniMo. Though it stayed lit in our 9mph wind test we know that higher gusts will extinguish the flame. The MSR Reactor and Windburner will, once lit, stay lit in any winds a human being can handle. For backpackers who also want to take their stove on an alpine climb or big wall (and are willing to find a way to protect the stove from the wind), we think the MiniMo is a great choice.
Fuel efficient
Good boil time
Piezo ignition
Pot and burner mate well
Lighter than similar stoves
Diminished wind performance

Analysis and Test Results
We scored our backpacking stoves based on 5 criteria: fuel efficiency, weight, simmering, time to boil, and ease of use, each of which are discussed under their respective headings below. The chart shown above details the cumulative overall performance score of each stove in our review. The MSR Pocket Rocket 2 came out on top, followed by the Jetboil MiniMo and the MSR Windburner. The stoves we tested in this review fall into three categories: (1) small canister stoves, (2) integrated canister stoves, and (3) liquid fuel stoves. Our individual reviews compare stoves within each category as well as across categories.
When considering purchasing a new backpacking stove you should ask yourself: How much stove do you really need? Are you going solo on a fast-and-light mission or are you out with a group cooking gourmet meals? Do you need to melt snow or are you hiking in the desert and just boiling water for a dehydrated meal? There is a stove out there for everyone's needs, you just need to decide what your priorities are: speed, weight, cooking ability, or all of the above? For more buying advice that pertains to your specific adventure, head to the types of backpacking stoves.
Fuel Efficiency
Fuel efficiency is a tricky category to evaluate and includes many variables. We tested for fuel efficiency on our own with standardized boil time tests (including boil time in the wind), but also took the manufacturer's word for it on certain specifications like max burn times. Other factors we considered when evaluating this category were wind resistance and insulation.
Having a fuel efficient stove is important for many reasons, the main one being that you don't want to be left high and dry by running out of fuel when all you have left to eat are freeze dried or dehydrated meals, and you're 2 days walk to the trailhead. Fuel efficiency is also an important consideration for obvious environmental reasons, as well as weight savings. If you are an ounce counter, as prudent backpackers are, sometimes having a fuel efficient stove can cut down on the ounces of fuel that you need to carry. When you are calculating how much fuel your stove will use, you may be able to leave that extra canister at home or carry a smaller canister if your stove can save you a few grams. We talk in depth about this concept as well as how to calculate how much fuel you'll need for your trip and other information about canisters in our buying advice.
The most fuel efficient stove we tested was the MSR Windburner because of its very wind resistant construction, large integrated heat exchange system, and insulated pot. The Jetboil MiniMo was a close second. The Jetboil Flash was actually the most fuel efficient in the still environment of our lab (cough-garage-cough) but performed less well in the wind, and this dropped its overall fuel efficiency score. The least efficient stove was the Primus Classic Trail. Like a car built for fast and furious street racing, this stove has impressive power output but guzzles the gas. All of the small canister stoves had serious problems in the wind, and this affected their fuel efficiency. Liquid fuel stoves are relatively more fuel efficient because they come with wind screens to help protect the stove from the elements and these screens also focus the heat on the pot.
Like a tent, each stove gets two "weights" in this metric. We weighed each stove with its included stuff sacks or cases, accessory cups, and maintenance doodads for its "packed" weight. We also weighed each stove at its bare bones "trail" weight. This did not include any kind of packaging or accessories, but simply what you would need to cook or boil water. The Pocket Rocket 2 owned this metric, with a trail weight of 2.6 oz. The Windburner had the heaviest trail weight, 15 oz. It was followed closely by the Reactor and the Dragonfly.
One thing to consider in this category is if the pot is included or not; all of the integrated canister stoves come with a pot and have higher trail and packed weight numbers. If you are deciding between one of these and a small canister stove, don't forget to factor in the weight of a pot as well. We considered this when we scored the stoves for weight, learn how in our How We Tested Backpacking Stoves Article. We also took size and packability into account in this category. It's always nice to be able to get your stove, fuel, and maybe a lighter into your pot for packing. We looked at how small each burner got and how well it nested into a pot.
Our testing team felt that this was a fairly important metric. After all, sometimes we're in a hurry and will eat whatever is fast and easy, no matter how unidentifiable. Much of the time we want to eat actual food and we think that doing so improves our experience in the backcountry. At stove that can simmer well can handle pasta, pancakes, a fresh caught golden trout, or maybe even that steak that's been thawing (double bagged) in our pack on the hike in. We looked for stoves that had good control valve sensitivity, particularly at the low end. We also looked to see how low each stove could be turned down before sputtering out.
The Pocket Rocket 2 was a champ here. The control wire gave just the right amount of resistance, which let us dial in the flame and not carbonize our oatmeal.
The Primus Classic Trail was also a high scorer, earning the same as the Pocket Rocket - a near perfect 9 out of 10.
The other two small canister stoves also performed well. Unless you want you dinner cajun style and are prepared to stir fast and continuously we can't recommend integrated canister stoves like the Reactor and Flash for cooking, though the MiniMo performed better than the others, perhaps due to its different pot shape. Liquid fuel stoves that were designed to offer better simmering, like the Primus Omnilite Ti and the Dragonfly performed passably here, though sauteing was still not as easy as with the small canister stoves.
Boil Time
While boil times are much vaunted by manufacturers, we feel they are generally as relevant to backpackers are 0-60mph times are to drivers commuting to work in their 2009 Toyota Camry. That being said, this is a specification we did not simply take the manufacturer's word for. We wanted to see results for ourselves. We do not claim to be scientists, but we made our tests as scientific and objective as possible, controlling the environment and other factors to create a fair playing field. We did our testing in a garage where the ambient temperature was approximately 46 degrees Fahrenheit and the water we used was approximately 43 degrees. We tested the time to a rolling boil of 1 liter of water for each of the stoves. Readers should be aware that different manufacturers use different amounts of water in their boil tests. All of the fuel bottles were full and the canisters used were all identical.
While our testing team is not usually impressed with boil times, numbers at either end of the range do catch our attention. The MSR Reactor and Jetboil MiniMo dominated this category, with times of 3 minutes 56 seconds and 4 minutes 6 seconds respectively. The GigaPower was impressive for its long boil time of 9 minutes 53 seconds, almost 2 minutes behind the next slowest stove.
Liquid fuel stoves inherently take longer to boil water because they must be primed before putting water on to boil. To keep our comparisons fair we started the clock after they were primed. We found it took anywhere from 36 seconds to 1 minute 30 seconds to prime these stoves, and that boil times after priming were in the 6-7 minute range, the fastest being the MSR Dragonfly at 6 minutes 5 seconds. We think that boil times for these stoves are less important because of their other functions, including their versatility, are more important than speed.
Wind plays a big part in boil times and we also tested these stoves in an 8-10mph wind. The small canister stoves do not come with windscreens and every manufacturer specifically warns against using them in their instructions. Totally unshielded their performance was poor. All of them stayed lit, but none got water to a rolling boil after 30 minutes. The integrated canister stoves fared better. As we expected, the Reactor and Windburner were only slightly affected. The MiniMo surprised us by also doing well in this moderate breeze, and even the Flash was able to boil water after a while. Both of the Jetboil stoves will, however, be blown out in gustier winds while the Reactor and Windburner will stay lit.
Ease Of Use
Are singed hair and burned fingertips a normal part of your backcountry cooking experience? Good meals should be streamlined enhancements of our wilderness experience, not dangerous chores.
We discovered if the stoves had a lot of small parts and accessories that were easy to lose and if the stoves were easy to assemble. We examined the stove controls to see if they were easy to access and operate. The large wire knobs that are becoming the standard, like on the GigaPower really shined here. Piezoelectric lighters have become quite reliable and were a great bonus. While our testing team always goes into the backcountry with a lighter (or three) with this feature we never have to search for it when what we want to be doing is drinking coffee. The Jetboil Flash and MiniMo really shined in this category. With these stoves, our testers feel that we can go from a stove in the pack to sipping a hot drink in the shortest time and with the least amount of fuss.
Stability was also something we looked at. Generally lower and wider equals more stable. We found that liquid fuel stoves are the most stable of all the stoves because they are low to the ground and have wide stove legs that act as stable platforms. The MSR Dragonfly was the most stable of all the stoves we tested, in part due to its giant pot supports. The integrated canister stoves did well for stability because the burner and pot are designed to mate, but they are quite tall and easy to knock over when full. All of the manufacturers try to address this problem by including canister stands, but we did not bring these along most times because they add weight and don't change the fundamental center-of-gravity issue. Small canister stoves are also tall once screwed onto a canister, and had smallish pot supports.
The integrated canister stoves we tested were also relatively unstable because they became quite tall once the canisters were attached — the Windburner was the tallest. All of the manufacturers try to address this problem by including canister stands, but we did not bring these along most times because they add weight and we find them unnecessary.
While there is no single backpacking stove for every application or budget, the stove selection above can take the backcountry enthusiast from a weekend for two on the Appalachian Trail, to a week on the Colorado Plateau with a group of friends, to the high peaks of The Alaska Range.

A daily exposure for at least 30 minutes doing my stretches right outdoors sunlight is well recommended.
Exercise Consistently
The influence of exercise for an active and healthy living cannot be over-emphasized. Exercise generally increases your heart rate and improves the circulation of blood in the body. It makes you look younger and guide you against the attack of some disease like diabetes, obesity etc.
Thus trying to maintain an active body is very important in order to have a healthy sex life.

Pure nicotine in cigarettes when smoke can't eliminate according to specialists, that have been backed up by research. But it is the smoke which contains over 7000 harmful and also extremely dangerous chemicals including those carcinogenic ones that are the culprit. While pure nicotine might not be the a killer, it can also restrict blood circulations in the body, that can also lead to issues in getting appropriate erection since blood flow is important for erection. If you're a smoker and you desire to accomplish faster and stronger erections as well, I really think it's high time you stopped smoking. It's not too late, if you have concerns on erections, smoking needs to be among the things to consider as this could trigger other wellness issues including reproductive health and wellness, later in life
Get Enough High-Quality as well as Restorative Rest
Many people take the importance of sleep for granted. Little do they know that rest is important for the general well being of the body. Your body is not a machine, even machines require rest.
Never ever take for underrate the significance of sleep as this is like a re-charging system that makes the whole body recover from tiredness and exhaustion as a result of work or even stress of the day.

In order to avoid erectile dysfunction, you need to spend quality time resting. And if you have difficulty sleeping, seek medical guidance or you could do some relaxation like deep breathing exercises, practicing short reflection, or even Yoga.
Consider Supplements
When I am referring to supplements for a healthy sex life, I'm not just referring to the common male enhancement supplements that can be gotten over the counter in any grocery store. I am referring to other supplements for Vitamin B5 and choline. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that is responsible for stimulation in both men and women. One effective method to successfully and safely increase acetylcholine is with the use of choline supplementation. I'm not a physician, so I can not say just how much you should take. In that matter, consult your doctor and discuss appropriately with him on getting the adequate dose to be taken.
Supplement consumption is also a good way to avoid erectile dysfunction. In your quest for alternative supplement, amongst the reliable one is L-Arginine, an aminod acid as well as forerunner for naturally manufacturing Nitric Oxide( NO), handy in relaxing the blood vessels for correct and effective blood circulation. It additionally helps improve fertility in men. L-Arginine is additionally existing in lots of supplements like Man Extra.
In addition, L-Arginine when combined with another supplement such as Pycnogenol leads to an enhanced sexual feature on males with erectile problems. One specific solution that combines both L-Arginine and Pcynogenol is Prelox with a study performed and also authored by Dr. Steven Lamm who additionally recommends VigRX Plus in male.
In addition, a pilot study released its searchings for at the Journal of European Urology. They revealed that L-Arginine integrated with Yohimbine is effective for treatment of erectile dysfunction. Yohimbe extract is likewise include in various supplements consisting of ExtenZe.
I hope this few tips on accomplishing an awesome sex life will be of help. As I said at the commencement of this write-up, these are recommendations that are not stressful. They are things you can consciously imbibe in your day to day activity to spice up and achieve a healthy sex life.

5b. TOPIC 2 – Habitats
In this topic we looked at the effect of different habitats (subtidal, intertidal and marsh habitats) on the horizontal tide (flow velocities) and the vertical tide (tidal range). To study this topic we used tidal data (§3.1.2) and topo-bathymetry data (§3.1.1) to delineate habitat maps according to 6 defined habitat classes (§3.3) (see Appendix B, Figure B 1 - Figure B 10). These habitats were also used for the ecosystem services report within TIDE. Flow velocities were calculated based on the cubage technique (§3.2.1). More information on the historical evolution of habitats can be found in the historical report.
Large differences occur in the total estuary surface area. The Scheldt estuary is for example 3.5 times larger than the Weser estuary and about 2 times the size of the Humber (Figure 39). Consequently this will affect the available area of each habitat within the different estuaries.
In the Scheldt the deep subtidal habitat (Sd) has an area of 17000 ha which is about 2 times the Sd area of the Elbe, and 5-10 times the Sd area of the Weser and Humber (Figure 40). For the moderately deep and shallow subtidal habitat (Sm and Ss) surface areas are comparable for the 4 estuaries, only for the Weser surface areas are clearly smaller. The Scheldt estuary contains almost 8000 ha of intertidal flat habitat (If) which is significantly higher than the other estuaries. Concerning the intertidal steep habitat (Is) surface areas are very comparable. The Elbe and Weser have the highest marsh (M) area (for the Elbe about 5300 ha), whereas the Humber has the smallest area (about 700 ha). It should be pointed out that the used methodology for habitat mapping is based on physiotopes, whereby the marsh habitat is defined as the area above MHWL (see §3.3.2). For the Elbe and Weser several of these marsh areas are used as pastures (with still a connection to the estuary), and hence do not have the typical tidal marsh vegetation. Due to these differences in marsh characteristics, the relative percentages in habitat area are also provided excluding the tidal marshes (Figure 42).
The large area of Sd habitat in the Scheldt covers about half of the total estuary's surface (Figure 41 ). This is clearly higher than the Elbe (37 %), whereas the Weser and Humber only have a quarter of deep subtidal. All estuaries have 50 - 75% subtidal habitat, except for the Weser where only 35% is subtidal. Remarkably is the dominance of the deep subtidal habitat compared to the other subtidal habitat classes for the Scheldt, Elbe and Weser, and the equal distribution of the subtidal habitats (± 25 %) for the Humber. For all estuaries, the total intertidal area (If + Is) varies between 20 - 30%, whereas the relative marsh area is clearly higher for Elbe and Weser than for the Scheldt and Humber, due to the difference in marsh characteristics (Elbe and Weser include pastures). The relative importance of the subtidal areas versus the intertidal areas is presented in Figure 42 .
Figure 39 – Total estuary surface area (in hectares, calculated from mouthgeo to up-estuary boundary)
Figure 40 – Absolute habitat areas (in hectares) for the 4 estuaries (calculated from mouthgeo to up-estuary boundary, Sd = subtidal deep, Sm = subtidal moderately deep, Ss = subtidal shallow, If = intertidal flat, Is = intertidal steep, M = marsh)
Figure 41 – Relative presentation of the habitat areas (percentages) for the 4 estuaries (from mouthgeo to up-estuary boundary)
Figure 42 – Relative presentation of the subtidal and intertidal habitat areas (percentages) for the 4 estuaries (from mouthgeo to up-estuary boundary)
In general, the subtidal is the dominant habitat type along the different estuaries with a relative width of 50% or more (Figure 43). Only for the middle part of the Weser, the subtidal is clearly lower with values around 25%. For the Scheldt, Elbe and Weser, the deep subtidal habitat has the largest portion in the total subtidal, with exception of the upper parts, where the moderately deep and shallow subtidal habitats become more important. For the Humber, moderately deep and shallow subtidal are clearly dominant along the entire estuary, only close to the mouth the deep subtidal is important. Intertidal flat areas are important along the multi-channel systems of the estuaries. Moreover in the mouth areas of the Elbe and Weser they are by far the dominant habitat type. In the Scheldt and Humber, intertidal steep habitats are important in the more upstream parts of the estuaries. Finally, the marsh habitat is in particular abundant along the Weser estuary (15 – 50%) and is rather scarce along the Humber. A comparison between the four estuaries for the relative and absolute widths of each individual habitat can be found in Appendix C).
By plotting the tidal range on the habitat width distribution, we observe for each estuary an increase in tidal range where the deep subtidal habitat is important, and a decrease in tidal range where the deep subtidal habitat is rather scarce or absent. Relationships between the relative habitat width and the tidal range gradient are further elaborated in §5.2.3.
It should be pointed out that in the most upstream parts of the estuaries, the accuracy of the habitat width determination might be affected by the coarse grid resolution compared to the estuary width, especially for the Scheldt estuary were habitat mapping is based on a topo-bathymetry grid of 20 x 20 m (see §3.3.2).
Figure 43 – Habitat width (%) and tidal range along the 4 estuaries (for the Humber along Humber-Ouse), averaged over 5 km blocks. Habitat legend: Sd = subtidal deep, Sm = subtidal moderately deep, Ss = subtidal shallow, If = intertidal flat, Is = intertidal steep, M = marsh.
5b. Relation between flow velocity and habitats
To test the initially stated hypothesis in topic 2 (see §2), the maximum flood flow velocity is related to the amount of shallow and intertidal habitat. We observe for all four estuaries that flow velocity does not influence the relative width of these habitats (see Figure 44 and Figure 45).
Figure 44 – Maximum flood flow velocity versus the width of the moderately deep and shallow subtidal habitat (%)
Figure 45 – Maximum flood flow velocity versus the width of the intertidal habitat (%)
5b. Relation between habitats and tidal damping/amplification
A clear relationship exists between the percentage of deep subtidal habitat (Sd) and the tidal range gradient (𝛁 TR) (Figure 46). For a restricted width of Sd (< 20%) the tidal range gradient is lower than zero, meaning a damping of the tidal range. If Sd becomes more important (> 30%), only tidal amplification occurs (with exception of a few points) with 𝛁 TR varying between 0 and 4 cm/km, but without an increase in 𝛁 TR for increasing % Sd values.
For the moderately deep (Sm) and shallow subtidal (Ss) habitat, the relationship between % habitat and 𝛁 TR is opposite to the deep subtidal habitat (Figure 47, cf. Figure 46 and Figure 47). Here, low values (< 25%) for Sms (= Sm + Ss) result in mostly tidal amplification, whereas for higher values of Sms (> 35%) tidal damping prevails.
In contrast to the subtidal habitats, no relationships between % habitat and 𝛁 TR are observed for the intertidal and marsh habitats. Here, for an increase in % habitat, tidal damping and tidal amplification are equally important (Figure 48 and Figure 49).
Figure 46 – Width of the deep subtidal habitat (%) versus the tidal range gradient
Figure 47 – Width of the moderately deep and shallow subtidal habitat (%) versus the tidal range gradient
Figure 48 – Width of the intertidal habitat (%) versus the tidal range gradient
Figure 49 – Width of the marsh habitat (%) versus the tidal range gradient
5b. Conclusions
Tidal amplification (vertical tide) in estuaries are to a large extent determined by the subtidal habitats, whereas intertidal and marsh habitats have no significant influence based on the observations (i.e. for mean tidal conditions). Tidal amplification occurs when the relative width in deep subtidal habitat (> 5 m below LW) is larger than 30% (Sd > 30%) and the sum of the moderately deep and shallow subtidal habitats (5 - 0 m below LW) is smaller than 25%. Tidal damping occurs when Sd < 20% and Sms > 35%. To induce tidal damping in an estuary we thus recommend to have over a distance of 5 km (data were averaged over 5 km blocks), no excessive width in deep subtidal habitat (< 20%) and sufficient width in moderately deep and shallow subtidal habitat (> 35%), which corresponds with a rounded shallow channel shape rather than a deep and wide trapezoidal channel shape. The latter is often the shape of deepened (dredged) channels, representative for the main channels of the Scheldt, Elbe and Weser. The cross section of the subtidal Humber is a naturally formed channel (no artificial dredging), with exception of a small section in the mouth area (from TIDE km 117-122). The subtidal habitat distribution of the Humber (Figure 41) suggests a more round profile and generally shallower average depths, giving a much greater emphasis to tidal damping than the other estuaries.
We further recommend an extensive statistical analysis (regressions for the different estuaries, co-variance between the different % habitats, etc.) of this dataset to improve above stated threshold values (% habitat) for tidal damping/amplification. Before doing these analyses, the determination of the % habitat should be improved (mainly for the most upstream parts of the estuary) by: (1) working with a finer topo-bathymetry grid (especially for the Scheldt for which we worked in this study with a 20 x 20 m grid), and (2) improving the interpolation method for the LW and HW surfaces. Initially, the habitat mapping was aimed to calculate habitat areas for which this methodology was considered as sufficiently (methodology see §3.3.2).
Initially, topic 2 would study the relationship between flow velocities (horizontal tide) and the occurrence of intertidal and shallow subtidal habitats. The hypothesis hereby brought forward was: "higher average flow velocities in an estuary result in less intertidal and shallow water area". However, we did not find any relationship between these parameters and therefore habitats were also related to tidal damping/amplification (vertical tide). It should be pointed out that the "cubage" technique (§3.2.1) calculates cross-section averaged flow velocities. This could explain why no relationship was found between the flow velocity and the habitats since habitat areas are more likely influenced by local variations in flow velocity.

Mauricio Pochettino is concerned about Tottenham's busy schedule after Monday's 1-1 draw with Burnley added an FA Cup replay to their packed fixture list.
Spurs have a League Cup semi-final to negotiate at the end of this month, which includes two legs against Sheffield United, while Pochettino must juggle his squad to cope with three Premier League matches and now Burnley's cup trip to White Hart Lane.
Pochettino made seven changes for the trip to Turf Moor with one eye on Saturday's league game at Crystal Palace, but Sam Vokes's equaliser forced a return date on Wednesday week and Pochettino will likely fall back on squad players once more.
"I am disappointed because we have to play another game. We have a lot of games ahead," the Argentine said after the whistle.
Tottenham v Burnley - player ratings
Tottenham v Burnley - player ratings
1/6 Michel Vorm: 6
Hugo Lloris' replacement had very little to do all night and could not be blamed for Burnley's equaliser, when substitute Sam Vokes produced a very tidy finish.
2/6 Vlad Chiriches: 6
A characteristically eccentric display from the Romanian, deputising for Kyle Walker at right-back. Handled George Boyd relatively comfortably but some of his decision-making is hard to fathom.
3/6 Ben Davies: 8
Spurs' best player on the night, the Welshman is growing in confidence at the club and seems to be relishing the battle with Danny Rose to be first choice left-back. Efficient in both attack and defence and set up Spurs' goal.
4/6 Mousa Dembele: 7
Starting to look a little more like the player Spurs paid £15million to sign from Fulham in 2012. Looked more mobile than in recent times and used the ball well when he had it.
5/6 Nacer Chadli: 7
Operating on either flank, he always gave Spurs an attacking outlet and underlined his enduring effectiveness by putting his team in front with a typically solid finish – his ninth goal of the season.
6/6 Christian Eriksen: 6
Although he was far less creative than in recent weeks, the Dane showed excellent appetite with a hard-working display as he was used in three different roles in the 90 minutes.
The club's busy January follows a packed festive schedule in which Spurs propelled themselves to within touching distance of the Premier League's top four after some fine performances, but Pochettino felt his side were slow out of the blocks at Turf Moor.
He added: "The first half was difficult and poor. But the second half was a turnaround. We scored and the game was ours but you never give up and they got back in the game.
Nearly 2,500 Tottenham fans made the trip on a cold weekday night and Pochettino hailed the 'amazing' supporters.

Does anyone else's muscles feel stiff with dp/dr?
Sometimes my muscles get so stiff I can barely move. Especially the muscles in my face, neck, and upper arms. I also get a weird taste in my throat. When this happens my derealisation gets 100x worse. I don't know if they're related, but when it happens it feels like I can't use my mind or my body and I'm really sick or going to die or something.

That it would be the number one reason why a foreigner would ever want to call the Philippines home. I guess it is part of the reason why I get scared to date a Filipina.
Keep checking back as we have new Philippina singles every day with Manila girls, Cebu girls, and more living all over this beautiful island paradise!
This really is a free Filipina dating site and there are some very sweet women who you can initiate or receive contact from without having to pay a single thing!
After you start a profile here you can get daily updates on our newest members in the Philippines.
Here is a very common first interaction (which I would have in either Bisaya or Tagalog): Why? We all know that a lot of foreigners come to the Philippines because they have met a Filipina, have a Filipina Girlfriend, or have a Filipina Wife. But it occurs EVERY time I am hanging out with a girl who is simply just a friend of mine, and usually in a very open and vocal way; the girls will be stereotyped as being attached to me.
A lot of foreigners come to find a Filipina to love and care for them. we know a lot of foreigners come to take advantage of Filipina girls (that hurts me to, it is sick and I dream of the day that changes). It is said with so much passion and belief that I can see it in their face. In some cases people will be so vocal about it, that it can be uncomfortable.
I understand that it would be common to assume that I would be here due to a Filipina. I can see it in the faces of the Filipinos who say those words to me… I will always take time to respond to people who make those comments in a positive way.
They believe that is the biggest reason why I should want to be here. I explain the amazing things that make me want to be here and parts of this culture that inspire me so much.
Pinalove includes sending messages, live chat, webcam chat, and showing interest in the lovely ladies at this site.
Here I am a 26yr old foreigner semi-fluent in Bisaya, basic knowledge of Tagalog who is living in the Philippines. I have met some Filipinas that right away make me wish I had the privilege of saying… It helps me inspire some positive thinking in the minds of people I look up to… I have found over the course of my time in the Philippines I have pushed away any opportunity I may have had to date a Filipina and to get close to a Filipina. In fact just a few days ago a foreigner told me: "You must be a big hit with the ladies. Get a few beers in you and I bet all the stories will come out." Stories of a 26yr old who even though maybe lonely in that aspect of his life, just doesn't agree with people focusing on being with girls here as being the best part of the Philippines. I completely understand why foreigners talk about the girls here so much, because they are amazing, and yes chances are you will get a lot of attention from them if you are a nice guy. One day we were hanging out looking for ingredients to make some food.
Now if you are Filipino reading this I want you to stop here and think: If you didn't know me, had no clue what I was doing here in the Philippines. What would your guess be as to how I got here, and why I choose to stay here? We headed to the market in Cebu to pick up fresh vegetables.
Now I'd like to share with you a very common conversation I have. It is safe to say that I have interacted with a lot of everyday Filipinos and Filipinas. While looking at the vegetables a few of the vendors said in Bisaya… Again I have nothing wrong with why individuals think that way, because again, yes lots of foreigners who are here do have girlfriends, or wives.

Asset Liability Management
ALM Solutions
Simple balance sheet management is a thing of the past. Today credit unions must continuously monitor and manage the risk to ever more complex balance sheets. Regulatory requirements continue to focus on preparing adequate assumptions, what if scenarios and risk mitigation analysis.
Credit union staff and boards are challenged by the need to devote increasing time and resources to ALM management while operating with limited resources to do so. Vizo Financial exists to support your credit union with the resources and expertise you need. We have services to match the budget and complexity of all size credit unions.
For additional information, contact one of our ALM Solutions Specialists at email@example.com.
ALM analysis is time-consuming business, and the cost of hiring a full time ALM analyst can be more than your credit union's budget can bear. Having a trusted resource to process your data and perform modeling frees your staff to perform other functions. But wouldn't you like the convenience to test rate strategies or perform what-if scenarios whenever needed?
ALM Direct is an Internet-based solution that provides you with the advantages of both an in-house and outsourced modeling solution. We provide the processing of your data, delivery of your ALM reports and analysis of your results, which provides expertise to the modeling process. Because you have online access to the model, you have the in-house capability to update assumptions and perform "what if" income simulations as needed.
Our ALM analysts have expertise in ALM modeling and the dynamics of interest rate risk. Our team is available to help you, your staff, ALCO and board understand the risk in your balance sheet and how to manage it.
- • Monthly or quarterly model processing and report production.
- • Summary Analysis – a custom report prepared by experienced Vizo Financial staff to help you interpret model reports with an ALCO friendly format.
- • Forecast earnings under different business and market assumptions.
- • Assess long-term interest rate risk with net economic value analysis (NEV).
- • Comply with regulations for interest rate risk management.
- • Online access to your data, assumptions and reports.
- • Unlimited "what if "analyses.
- • Unlimited model support.
- • Model training and initial setup.
- • Assistance with assumption development.
- • Policy reviews and policy limit assistance on request.
ALM Direct is a complete solution for all your Asset/Liability and earnings forecasting needs. Following is just a sampling of the presentation quality reports available:
- • Forecasted Income Statements
- • Net Economic Value of Equity
- • Repricing and Cash Flow Gap
- • Interest Rate Risk Compliance
- • Market Value vs. Book Value
- • Effective Duration and Convexity
- • Assumption Documentation
- • Liquidity Reports
Since assumptions are a necessary part of the ALM and forecasting process, you need a tool that allows you to control those assumptions appropriately. ALM Direct allows credit unions to build various market scenarios under which they can model their balance sheet, income statement and net economic value of equity (NEV).
- • Level of interest rates – By adjusting the overall level of rates, credit unions can model the impact of "parallel" rate shocks on the institution. This is the most common form of scenario analysis.
- • Slope of the yield curve – Understanding the impact of "non-parallel" rate changes is an emerging requirement for regulators and progressive practitioners.
- • Prepayment sensitivity – Credit unions can quickly model scenarios where customer prepayments are more or less sensitive than predicted by standard prepayment assumptions.
ALM Direct enables you to define custom balance sheet growth and reinvestment rules. This allows senior management to forecast using different business strategies to see their impact on the bottom line. Using ALM Direct, credit unions can model unlimited "what if" scenarios.
- • Define growth as a target balance or forecast only the new volume
- • Reinvest cash flows and new money into user-defined instruments
ALM Direct is the branded name of our service. The software that drives the modeling is ZM Financial Systems' online ALM model. The model offers the following features.
- • Advanced instrument-level analytics.
- • Comprehensive reporting package.
- • Customized chart of accounts.
- • Full NEV, NI and NII simulation.
- • Unlimited scenario analysis.
- • Transparent assumption reporting.
- • Income simulation available over a 1 to 10 year horizon.
- • Instantaneous and parallel rate shocks as well as lagged and parallel rate shocks, rate ramps and yield curve shifts.
- • NEV discounting to a yield curve (U.S. Treasury, LIBOR or FHLB curve)
- • Mortgage prepayment model or support of user defined prepayment tables.
As with any modeling solution, supplying accurate data about the instruments currently on your balance sheet is paramount. We make this process easy and transparent. You supply data files from your data processor and several simple Microsoft Excel templates. We upload the data into ALM Direct and process your data and reports. The reports are available for you to retrieve from the website.
Since small credit unions balance sheets do not change dramatically over time, you can save time and money with less frequent processing.
ALM Direct Lite is an ALM modeling solution using the same robust platform as our ALM Direct product; however, it is tailored to the particular needs of a small, non-complex credit union. This program is suited for credit unions with assets of approximately $30 million and under that need an expert to help the credit union gauge and understand their interest rate risk without taking away from the bottom line or valuable time from credit union management.
- • Annual and semi-annual processing available to provide a more cost effective solution.
- • Utilizes Aires files for model input which reduces the complexity of obtaining data files from your core processor.
- • Comply with regulations for interest rate risk management.
- • Assess interest rate risk using income simulation and net economic value (NEV) analysis.
- • Forecast earnings under different business and market assumptions. Our team of analysts will run "what-if" scenarios to help you make sound business decisions.
- • Expert ALM staff to help you interpret reports.
- • Annual, semi-annual or quarterly processing and report production,
- • Summary Analysis – a custom report prepared by experienced Vizo Financial staff to help you interpret model reports and provide financial trends, peer reviews and an economic update.
- • Unlimited support from our experienced ALM analysts.
- • "What-if" runs performed by our ALM analysts.
- • ALM training and initial model setup.
- • Policy reviews and policy limit assistance on request.
We offer two different levels of model validation depending on the need and complexity of the balance sheet being modeled.
A model validation strengthens reliance on the ALM model to help make sound business decisions and satisfies regulatory requirements. With a model validation, areas of potential weakness are identified along with recommended changes to improve the accuracy of the model and limit model risk.
Our service offers credit unions two levels of validation:
- • Model Validation - examines data inputs, assumptions, model processing, model reports, policies and ALM processes. The credit union receives a documented report of all findings and suggested recommendations.
- • Parallel Model Runs – The credit union's data and assumptions are input and processed on a second model. The credit union receives a report comparing the output of both models. A parallel run may be performed independently or in addition to a model validation.
With Vizo Financial's ALM professionals on staff, we are able to help your credit union with all of your ALM needs. For credit unions with an in-house model, we can customize services to meet your specific requirements.
- • Policy development or review.
- • Establishing interest rate risk limits.
- • Assumption development.
- • Review of model output reports accompanied by a written analysis to help interpret the interest rate risk position of the credit union.
- • Specific education and training for your board, ALCO committee and staff.
