The objective approach of modern science has discovered the Unified Field of Natural Law, which declares the ultimate reality of physical creation to be the Unified Field of self-referral consciousness, the field of pure subjectivity.
This level of reality being self-referral is self-knowing and therefore is the togetherness of the three qualities of knower, knowing and known -- in Vedic terminology, Samhita of Rishi, Devata, Chhandas. This three-in-one structure of the Unified Field is the structure of Pure Knowledge: the Veda, with the potentiality of infinite organising power -- the totality of all the Laws of Nature that create and administer the universe with perfect orderliness.

Lyme Disease
By: Makena Beyer & Vy Nguyen
Lyme Disease usually happens in the spring and summer. You won't get it by any limes though, but you will get it from Deer Ticks. Deer Ticks are brown with lines or lines and polka dots.
*Feeling warm
You will get a rash where the tick bit you (called the bull's-eye rash.) You will feel dizzy. You will also have a soft cold. Your doctor will test your blood to see if you have Lyme Disease.
Your doctor will give you medicine either pills,liquid, or even both. You can even get
gummies. Make sure you look for any ticks before taking a shower or do anything that contains water (except drinking water.)
Don't go in tall grass or in any woods. Remember to wear light colored long pants and long sleeves to see if any meany ticks are on you. Always remember to tuck your shirt into your pants in your socks.

Listen to my music at www.subache.com
Oh, you want the arm to stay put so it dosent move around all the time right???
What type of trem is it exactly??????
I think he means having the arm stay in whatever position you move it to, rather than have it fall back down constantly. (Though the Black Box/Backstop/Arming Adjuster is also worth its weight in gold...)Originally Posted by Zerberus
IIRC current Fender trems have a small spring that goes in the arm socket that solves this exact problem, just nobody ever knows about it and therefore most Fenders (even new) are missing the spring. You can get a replacement from Fender or even a hardware store if you have the time/patience, just pop it into the socket and then screw the arm back in.
I like those springs!!! but i always lose them!!!Originally Posted by mind_transplant
Me too. Fender ships the Strats, or used to, with orange dot stickers over the trem arm hole so the spring wouldn't fall out. I found mine recently, then lost it again.Originally Posted by WhoFan
I lost the trem arm spring from mine soon after I got my Am Std strat. I ordered a pack of a dozen from GuitarPartsResource. Now that I have them the spring never falls out. Just checked, they are out of stock currently.

on another note some garage's have a data logger that plug's into your car and as you drive it records the engine input/output that can help them find the fault?
i woud have thought if the pipe was broken the problem would always be there cold or warm. more likely to be electrcal or sensor i would think
hard to tell what the problem could be it might be a intermitant fault in sensor in the manifold or the air intake (mass sensor ) regulating air intake worth checking
mark mk3 started following Focus Misfiring When Accelerating
mark mk3 replied to mark mk3's topic in Ford Focus Clubthx for the post stony871 im sure this will help people check if that has been done awell.
mark mk3 replied to mark mk3's topic in Ford Focus Cluboh and thx for the welcom great to be here
mark mk3 replied to mark mk3's topic in Ford Focus ClubVery true i agree. i would also add that if it is not fitted correctly to contact the fitter again to get the sensor fixed in the right place and i think the distance from the screen is also critical for them to work aswell
mark mk3 replied to mark mk3's topic in Ford Focus Clubit's a mixed bag. some people love them some don't. i have seen on the net that people have had problems if say the screen has been replaced. so this tip is for anyone who would like just the intermitant wipers
mark mk3 posted a topic in Ford Focus Clubhi all this is to help anyone who is NOT a big fan of auto wipers on a mk3 focus. For me they don't work when i would like them to. so if you take the cover off the front windscreen (give a firm pull down it will come off) just unplug the cable from the sensor and you will then have intermitant wipers and the wheel on the stalk will give speed control as well hope this helps some people. happy days...

A Kiwi entrepreneur is preparing to take on global giant Apple.
The Apple Corporation has told Hayden Crowther it may object to his use of the word driPhone to market a waterproof and shockproof phone case for Apple's iPhones and Google's Android smartphones.
Mr Crowther is already selling his phone cases.
He received a letter on Friday from a Wellington patent attorney, instructed by the world's biggest technology company, telling him it wanted more time to consider objecting to the name of his product, launched in May last year.
Mr Crowther's application for the driPhone trademark was advertised last September 30, and objectors were given until December 30 to oppose it. Yesterday's letter, dated December 23, said: "We would be grateful if you would consent to an extension of time of one month from 30 December 2011 for filing a notice of opposition in this matter. If you are unwilling to consent please let us know as soon as possible."
Mr Crowther had no luck trying to contact Apple's lawyer's yesterday but intended not to give them extra time to object.
The letter was the first hint of any opposition Mr Crowther has had to the name. "My product is driPhone, not iPhone, and they are ... just trying to scare me," he said.
Carrick Robinson, a partner at James & Wells Intellectual Property lawyers in Auckland, said Apple's request did not necessarily mean it would object. Asked whether he thought Apple would win its case, he said: "I am not so sure."

To examine default mode and salience network functional connectivity as a function of APOE ε4 status in a group of cognitively normal age, gender and education-matched older adults.
Case-control study.
Community-based sample
Fifty-six cognitively normal APOE ε4 carriers and 56 age, gender and education-matched cognitively normal APOE ε4 non-carriers.
Alterations in in-phase default mode and salience network connectivity in APOE ε4 carriers compared to APOE ε4 non-carriers ranging from 63 to 91 years of age.
A posterior cingulate seed revealed decreased in-phase connectivity in regions of the posterior default mode network that included the left inferior parietal lobe, left middle temporal gyrus, and bilateral anterior temporal lobes in the ε4 carriers relative to APOE ε4 non-carriers. An anterior cingulate seed showed greater in-phase connectivity in the salience network, including the cingulate gyrus, medial prefrontal cortex, bilateral insular cortex, striatum, and thalamus in APOE ε4 carriers vs. non-carriers. There were no group-wise differences in brain anatomy.
We found reductions in posterior default mode network connectivity but increased salience network connectivity in elderly cognitively normal APOE ε4 carriers relative to APOE ε4 non-carriers at rest. The observation of functional alterations in connectivity in the absence of structural changes between APOE e4 carriers and non-carriers suggests that alterations in connectivity may have the potential to serve as an early biomarker.
The study of intrinsic connectivity networks is rapidly emerging as a tool for understanding both normal brain function and pathologic states such as neurodegenerative disorders. The Default Mode Network (DMN) has been extensively studied and is one of the resting state networks that undergoes changes as a result of normal aging (1) and is also affected by Alzheimer's disease (2, 3). Brain regions that constitute the DMN include the posterior cingulate, lateral parietal, and medial frontal cortices and hippocampus. Many of these same regions also undergo preferential amyloid plaque formation in AD (4).
The APOE ε4 allele is a well established genetic susceptibility factor for late onset Alzheimer's Disease (5). Individuals who carry the APOE ε4 allele are at a three- to four-fold increased risk for developing late onset or sporadic Alzheimer's disease (6). There is also a strong relationship between APOE ε4 carrier status and beta amyloid deposition (7-9). Recently, studies have shown a relationship between amyloid burden, measured with Pittsburgh compound B (PiB), and disruption of functional connectivity of the DMN (10, 11).
Functional connectivity studies reveal changes in the DMN in APOE ε4 carriers decades prior to the typical age of onset of clinical symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. For example, a study of young APOE ε4 carriers (individuals in their 20s and 30s) examined the DMN at rest and found increased coactivation in retrosplenial, medial prefrontal, and medial temporal lobe (MTL) regions in the APOE ε4 carriers relative to non-carriers (12). Middle-aged and older APOE ε4 carriers also show changes in resting state DMN connectivity. Fleisher et al. found increased nodal connectivity in APOE ε4 carriers in several brain regions, including medial and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, and temporal lobe structures while there was decreased connectivity in the precuneus and medial orbital frontal cortex.(13) A more recent study compared DMN resting state connectivity in PiB negative APOE ε4 carriers to PiB negative APOE e4 non-carriers and found decreased connectivity from the precuneus to temporal regions and the dorsal anterior cingulate as well as increased connectivity from the precuneus to the dorsal occipital cortex and anterior frontal regions (14).
Little is known about the effect of APOE ε4 status on the relationship between intrinsic connectivity networks late in life. The salience network (SN) is anti-correlated with the DMN (15). Recent evidence shows disease specificity in the interplay between the DMN and SN, and in particular, that connectivity of the SN is intensified in AD (16, 17). The objective of this study was to examine the DMN and SN during task free fMRI (TF-fMRI) in an age, gender and education-matched sample of cognitively normal elderly (CN) carriers vs. non-carriers of the APOE ε4 allele.
Subjects were cognitively normal individuals enrolled in the Mayo Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (n = 9) which is non-population based, or the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging (n = 103) which is a prospective population based study of randomly selected residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota between the ages of 70 – 89 at the time of entry, who had undergone TF-fMRI and genotyping for the APOE ε4 allele. A group of 56 CN APOE e4 carriers were identified and matched 1:1 with a group of CN APOE e4 non-carriers by age, gender and education. This study was approved by the Mayo Clinic Institutional Review Board and followed HIPAA guidelines. Informed consent was obtained from every subject. Additional details of subject recruitment and design are described in a previous report (18).
Criteria for CN were: (1) independently functioning community dwellers, (2) did not have an active neurologic condition, (3) no cognitive complaints, (4) normal neurological and neurocognitive exam. The classification of CN was based on input from three sources: the neurologist's clinical opinion based solely on the neurologist's interview and examination of the participant, neuropsychological test results as interpreted "blindly" by the neuropsychologist, and the nurse's opinion based exclusively on information about the participant obtained from an informant and reflected in the Clinical Dementia Rating Summary Score (19). At the completion of these evaluations, the three evaluators discussed each patient and assigned a final "consensus" diagnosis. Exclusion Criteria were: (1) medical contraindications to MRI scanning, and (2) structural abnormalities (e.g., intracranial neoplasms, infarctions).
The TF-fMRI signal time series was acquired using a gradient echo-planar (EPI) sequence (TR/TE = 3000/30 ms, 90° flip angle, slice thickness 3.3, and 103 volumes). Subjects were instructed to keep their eyes open during scanning.
The structural MRI sequence was a 3D magnetization prepared rapid acquisition gradient echo (MPRAGE) imaging sequence. Parameters were: TR/TE/T1, 2300/3/900 ms; flip angle 8°, 26-cm field of view (FOV); 256 × 256 in-plane matrix with a phase FOV of 0.94 and slice thickness of 1.2 mm. All MPRAGE images underwent pre-processing correction for gradient non-linearity and intensity non-uniformity (20).
Preprocessing and data analysis were performed utilizing a combination of the statistical parametric mapping (SPM5) software (Wellcome Department of Cognitive Neurology, University College London, UK), the resting-state fMRI data analysis toolkit (REST) (http://www.restfmri.net) (21) group ICA of fMRI toolbox (GIFT) software (22) and in-house developed software implemented in MATLAB (Mathworks Inc., Natick, MA, USA).
Preprocessing steps included discarding the first 3 volumes to obtain steady state magnetization, realignment, slice time correction, normalization to ICBM EPI template, smoothing with 4 mm full-width half maximum Gaussian kernel, linearly detrending to correct for signal drift, and 0.01-0.08 HZ bandpass filtering to reduce non-neuronal contributions to BOLD fluctuations. In addition, regression correction for spurious variables included rigid body transformation motion effects, global mean signal, white matter and cerebral spinal fluid (15, 23). Removal of global signal by regression improves specificity of connectivity analysis (24) and is an attractive alternative to using physiologic cardiac and respiratory inputs as regressors (25) for reducing spurious direct correlations when MR compatible physiological measuring systems are not available. This is necessary because gray matter has significantly greater capillary density than white matter (26) and this variability is not accounted for by cerebral spinal fluid and white matter regression alone (24). These preprocessed images were used for both ICA and seed-based connectivity analyses.
We used the TF-fMRI preprocessed data described above for ICA. The intrinsic connectivity networks were first identified using the group ICA method of GIFT (22) with a low-dimensional estimation of 20 independent components (27). The group ICA analysis on the APOE ε4 non-carrier group was run 100 times using the ICASSO function to ensure stability of the 20 estimated components. The DMN and SN were identified by visual inspection of the group independent components (IC). The individual subject ICs were derived utilizing the spatial and temporal dual regression method. The individual subjects' components were then entered into a one-sample t-test analyzed at a threshold of a p < 0.05 corrected for multiple comparisons using the false discover rate (FDR) method. These maps were used to define seed locations described below.
Although ICA can show group changes, we chose seed based analysis because it allows one to directly evaluate the disease effect on the connectivity of a seed to the rest of the brain. The posterior cingulate is one of the major hubs of the DMN, and the anterior cingulate is one of the major hubs of the SN (28, 29). Therefore, we selected seed locations based on the coordinates with the highest z-scores in the posterior cingulate cortex (2, -45, 34) in the DMN and in the anterior cingulate cortex (-3, 18, 42) in the SN identified with ICA in the APOE ε4 non-carrier group.
The average BOLD signal time course in each seed was correlated to every voxel in the brain for each subject using Pearson's correlation coefficient. Prior to group comparisons, the correlation coefficients were converted to z-scores using the Fischer r-to-z transformation. Regions that have positive z-scores between two fluctuating time-courses indicate "in-phase" connections and the regions with negative z-scores indicate "out-of-phase" connections. These z-score images were entered into the statistical analysis.
One sample t-tests were used to display voxel-wise connectivity maps. Two-sample two-sided t-tests were performed to compare voxel-wise connectivity between APOE ε4 non-carriers and carriers. To assess only in-phase connections, the group comparisons were masked by the out-of-phase connectivity maps identified in the one sample t-test of APOE ε4 non-carriers. The interpretation of out-of-phase connectivity is an active area of research. Conclusions based on out-of-phase results should be evaluated with the understanding that the interpretation of out-of-phase connectivity may change as the field matures.
All analyses were corrected for multiple comparisons using family wise error (FWE) at the cluster level (http://www.sph.umich.edu/nichols/JG2/CorrClusTh.m).
Preprocessing and data analyses were performed with a combination of voxel-based morphometry (VBM)(30), using SPM5 and in-house developed software implemented in Matlab (Mathworks Inc., Natick, MA, USA), to examine whether there were gray matter differences between APOE ε4 carriers vs. non-carriers. All MPRAGE scans were normalized to a customized template consisting of all subjects in the study, segmented using unified segmentation(31) and customized tissue probability maps into gray matter, white matter, and CSF (31), followed by the HMRF clean-up step (32). Gray matter images were modulated and smoothed at 8 mm FWHM. A two-sided t-test was used to examine whether there were any areas in which the APOE ε4 carriers showed greater gray matter loss relative to APOE ε4 non-carriers.
Our sample consisted of 56 cognitively normal elderly APOE ε4 non-carriers and 56 APOE ε4 carriers matched on age, gender and education. A Wilcoxon two-sided rank sum test showed that the APOE ε4 carriers scored lower than the non-carriers on the Short Test of Mental Status though their group mean remained in the normal range (33). All APOE ε4 carriers and non-carriers had a CDR rating of 0 (see Table 1).
In APOE ε4 non-carriers, the posterior cingulate cortex seed (2, -45, 34) showed connectivity with retrosplenial regions including the precuneus, temporo-parietal junction, middle/inferior temporal gyri, medial temporal lobes, medial and lateral prefrontal cortex, cerebellar areas, and thalamus.
Between-group comparisons showed reduced connectivity in APOE ε4 carriers relative to APOE ε4 non-carriers in the left temporo-parietal junction, left middle temporal gyrus, and bilateral anterior temporal lobes (see Figure 1).
In APOE ε4 non-carriers, the anterior cingulate seed (-3, 18, 42) showed connectivity within the anterior cingulate gyrus and medial prefrontal regions that were posterior to the medial prefrontal areas of connectivity with the posterior cingulate seed. There was also connectivity with the lateral prefrontal cortex, insular cortex, striatum, thalamus, and inferior parietal lobes.
Between-group comparisons showed increased connectivity in APOE ε4 carriers relative to APOE ε4 non-carriers in the cingulate gyrus, medial prefrontal cortex, bilateral insular cortex, striatum, and thalamus (see Figure 2).
The VBM analysis did not detect a significant difference between the groups (FDR p < .05) suggesting that atrophy did not make a marked contribution to the present findings.
We investigated the effect of APOE ε4 status on intrinsic connectivity in an age, gender, and education-matched sample of elderly cognitively normal older adults. The major findings were that APOE ε4 carriers show (1) diminished connectivity of the posterior DMN, and (2) a relative increase in connectivity in the SN.
The DMN and SN are widely distributed anti-correlated neuroanatomical networks (15). The DMN is consistently shown to have relatively more activity when individuals are at rest, i.e., not performing cognitive tasks (34). The SN is involved in cognitive control functions such as attention, working memory, and response selection (35) as well as uncertainty, pain and other homeostatic challenges (29, 36, 37). When individuals engage in cognitively demanding tasks, the DMN deactivates as activity in the SN becomes more pronounced (38, 39). The right fronto-insular cortex, which is a network hub of the SN, plays a critical role in switching between task negative and task positive networks (39).
The DMN and SN are in a dynamic balance during resting states. Recent literature comparing AD with other dementias emphasizes the unique relationship between the DMN and SN and how they differ (16, 17). The DMN and SN have disease specificity, hence we interrogated both networks. Our results suggest that there is a disruption in the balance between the DMN and SN is observable even in cognitively normal asymptomatic APOE ε4 carriers. One possible interpretation, although speculative, is that a reduction in the inhibitory control of the posterior DMN may result in an aberrant relative increase in the SN, and that this may represent a loss of the ability to appropriately regulate functional networks in clinically asymptomatic individuals.
Sheline et al. recently reported on functional connectivity changes of the DMN in APOE ε4 carriers vs. non-carriers (14). All of their subjects were PiB negative which allowed for isolation of the effect of APOE status. They placed a single seed in the precuneus and similar to our results with a posterior cingulate cortex seed, they found a decrease in connectivity in regions of the posterior DMN, including the left hippocampus, left parahippocampus and middle temporal cortex in the APOE ε4 carriers relative to non-carriers. Unlike their study however, we also specifically interrogated the SN with a second seed placed in the anterior cingulate gyrus.. Another difference is that on average, our APOE ε4 carriers are 20 years older than their sample.
Several fMRI task activation studies show enhanced activation of brain regions in older APOE ε4 carriers vs. non-carriers during cognitive tasks (40-42). One of these studies used a cohort similar in age to ours and found that the APOE ε4 carriers showed greater activation during a verbal paired-associate learning task than the non-carriers in multiple regions in the right hemisphere, despite an equivalent level of memory function and comparable brain volume (43). Han and Bondi (44) revised the apolipoprotein E compensatory mechanism recruitment hypothesis and proposed that APOE ε4 carriers compensate for cognitive declines later in life by invoking additional brain regions to perform cognitive tasks with a predilection for increases in right hemisphere activity. They further suggest that frontal-executive cognitive processes might mediate these compensatory mechanisms. Our results indicate a relative increase in the SN, but suggest that rather than compensation per se, this "increase" in resting state connectivity occurs in the context of decreased posterior default mode network connectivity and thus may represent disruption of the balance between these two networks(15).
The primary biologic effect of APOE ε4 appears to be an increase in brain burden Aß. Although our subjects were clinically normal, resting state MR shows that there are subclinical consequences which are evident even in cognitively normal elderly individuals (7, 9). Our results reflect changes in resting state connectivity that may be a direct result of higher amyloid burden in APOE ε4 carriers who are more likely to harbor clinically silent amyloid plaques and who are more likely to develop AD in the future(9).
Based on the observation that regions of the DMN that are metabolically active in young adults also show a striking correlation with the pattern of amyloid deposition in older adults with AD, Buckner et al. suggested that the areas of enhanced metabolism may provide regional conditions that are conducive to amyloid deposition (4). Fillipini and colleagues (12) show that connectivity within the DMN is increased in young adult APOE ε4 carriers (i.e., mean age 28 years) relative to non-carriers, thus potentially setting the stage for earlier deposition of amyloid in regions of the DMN in carriers of the APOE ε4 allele. We propose that after an initial phase of increased resting metabolism in young adulthood, APOE ε4 carriers show a more rapid decline in DMN connectivity than APOE ε4 non-carriers as they age. Future studies of the resting state in APOE ε4 carriers and non-carriers throughout middle adulthood will ultimately provide a better understanding of the trajectory of the DMN over the life span and the age at which these declines begin to occur.
Our study has several strengths. We have a fairly large sample size of thoroughly evaluated and well characterized individuals. Our groups are matched on age, gender, and education, effectively ruling out these variables as potential explanations for the group differences observed in resting state connectivity. Secondly, we performed both ICA and seed-based analyses, strengthening our results. Finally, results from our VBM analysis confirm that the group differences are not due to relatively greater loss of gray matter density in the APOE ε4 carriers.
Our cohort consists of older individuals. The changes we describe may not generalize to changes in connectivity in younger cohorts. Although nearly all our patients are derived from a population-based sample, they represent a subset of individuals who are willing to undergo neuroimaging studies. This could potentially limit the generalizability of our findings. Finally, although studies clearly document an association between APOE ε4 status and amyloid, we do not have imaging evidence of amyloidosis to confirm a direct relationship.
There is a dynamic balance between the DMN and SN, and this balance is interrupted in cognitively normal APOE ε4 carriers relative to non-carriers. Specifically, there are reductions in posterior DMN connectivity but a concomitant increase in SN connectivity at rest. Our results add to our understanding of functional brain changes in individuals at risk for developing AD and suggest that prodromal alterations in connectivity may have the potential to serve as a biomarker.

Last year my crush liked me a lot. At the beginning of this year, he flirted with me a lot. Now he doesn't. He doesn't tease me anymore or approach me to talk or anything. He gave me his kik and told me to text him. I do every other day. I always ask about him and try to get to know him, he doesn't ask about me though. And he doesn't text me first. I don't know what I did wrong. He isn't a player as far as I know, he is also very picky about the girls that he likes or dates. Do you think he just got over it? Or am I just not worth it to him anymore? All answers are appreciated. Thanks!

Stop screwing around. Ask him out, date him a few times. Then you can gauge interest for a confession. Your going nowhere with him now. Your doing as much good as a goddamn little a kid sucking their thumb... useless unless you try something different. Either grow some ovaries or just keep sucking away and taking polls.00|00|0

Problem exchanging encrypted mail between domains using SMTP
This Article Covers
Email Encryption
We want to exchange encrypted mail with a customer on another Lotus Notes domain. After reading many articles, it seems that we cannot exchange encrypted mail between domains when we use SMTP because Notes needs an X.509 certificate. Having a restricted copy of the NAB from this domain is not a viable solution, so can you tell me if the following solution can address this problem?

A Different Use!
Your review: I recently opened a bulk food store whereby I purchase food products ion quantity and then repackage it into smaller containers for retail sale. These bins work extremely well for shelf display of my 4" x 6" heat sealed plastic envelopes of items like spices, snack mixes, dip mixes, etc. I can stack when I have extra quantity or place them front/rear on my 16" deep shelves. Customers can then browse at their convenience.
Pros: PRICE!- The competitor "name brand" costs 3 times as much and does not perform any better. Flexibility - I can stack or display singly as required. Color - Works well with my store color scheme and is bright enough to attract the customer's attention
Cons: None!
great buy for a sturdy item(s)
Your review: The bins are pretty sturdy and don't seem to bend like the cheaper ones.
I bough about a 100 them to organize nuts, bolts, washers, light bulbs, screws, nails etc. in my Mancave. They work great. I filled one 4 x 7 x 3 inch bin up to the top with 3/4" x 3-1/2" stainless steel bolts and the bin didn't even flex out of shape! Im impressed!!! Yes, I would recommend them to my friends, especially for the price Global offers them for!

These socks were the result of needing a lace pattern that worked well with a variegated yarn. Rather than carrying the lace along the length of the foot, I liked the idea of tapering it off, so the socks look as though they are being unzipped.

Pregnancy related skin rashes
Pregnant women are very susceptible to a wide range of skin rashes, which are usually due to the massive hormonal changes occurring in your body. However, always check with your doctor or midwife if you experience persistent problems.
It is not unusual to develop dry patches of flaky and highly itchy skin,most commonly on your legs, arms, and abdomen. Applying simple moisturizing creams usually helps, but occasionally an antihistamine or even low-dose steroid cream may be needed to relieve irritation. The dilated blood vessels in your skin may make it look pinker, or even blotchy, which can sometimes be mistaken for a rash.
Since your skin needs to get rid of the extra heat from these dilated blood vessels, it is normal for you to sweat more. As a result, you may develop a sweat rash under your arms or breasts and in the groin areas, where sweat accumulates and does not have much chance to evaporate quickly.
Wearing looser clothes, preferably cotton, and avoiding synthetic fabrics close to your skin will reduce the problem, as will careful hygiene and using unscented soaps and deodorants.
Occasionally, a swear rash can become infected with a fungal organism, for example, yeast. These are not serious, but can make you itchy and uncomfortable and you may need a prescription topical antifungal cream to help clear the infection.

Some yummy, moist bran muffins. Quick and easy to make!
Top Review by malandon_4898924
I'm a little surprised at how yummy these are. I love how they're made with almond milk, too. They have just the right amount of sweetness - I was worried that these would be really bland, but they're great! I might add some cinnamon and ginger, but not because they need it. They're great as written! Excellent!

Live, Love, Europe
I've loved the thought of traveling to different places, especially Europe! I really want to go to either The UK or France. The UK is a place of many cultures. London, Wales, Scottland, Ireland and Northern Ireland.
The UK is another name that is used to say London. On another note, UK is famous for their food and since I'm American the way they pronouce things. (I'm pretty much a smart stereotype) Chips are Crisp. Fries are Chips and Tea is their National Morning Drink.
They also have beautiful landmarks such as The London Eye, Big Ben and The Royal Palace
The United Kingdom was formed by Acts of Union between England and Wales and England, Wales, and Scotland, uniting the three nations. After 1169, the island of Ireland came under British influence, and it became a colonial dependency in 1690. The British and Irish parliaments were united in 1801.
Here's the Travel Tour Guide.
Another place in Europe I want to visit is France, Paris mainly. France is South of London. France is split up in to 21 States as I would call it.
Now, landmarks. Two Beautiful Words. Eiffel Tower. Its the main attraction. Its a lovely place.
France is a very sophisticated place. French people are very skinny. They mostly eat bread, wine and cheese. Yet the do have other foods too. But Bread, Wine and Cheese are their mains.
Culture, where do I start. They mostly circulate around Catholicism. About 80% count themselves Catholic.
Here are a few more facts with the Travel Tour Video.
Now you know where I would Go.

There are less than two months to go until the Iowa caucuses, and less than a year until we elect a new president of the United States on November 8, 2016. While each of the candidates for the highest office in the land is more than competent and capable, there will only be one winner at the polls.
To some of us, however, what happens between now and then is just as interesting as voting day itself. Who doesn't enjoy sitting on the sidelines and watching a good, old-fashioned, knock-down, drag-out presidential campaign – particularly in this digital day and age?
The candidates may be crisscrossing the country on what seems like an endless campaign trail, but they are also sharing news, opinions, commentary, quips, and barbs across the social media landscape as well, especially on Twitter.
If you ask me, no matter the position each candidate has on gun control, homeland security, healthcare, or the economy – whether they lean to the left or to the right – all of them are connecting with audiences and getting the job done in 140 characters or less. In fact, in many cases they're taking businesses and brands to school. Even if you don't agree with their politics, you could probably learn a thing or two from following them.
Here are 10 ways all the presidential candidates are winning on Twitter – each and every tweet is a lesson for those vying for more votes of confidence from their own constituents on this channel.
1. Opinions
Opinions are like noses; everybody's got one…but not necessarily on Twitter. Businesses, brands, and corporate executives are all too often afraid to share how they feel online. Yet that's how they're going to gain the most traction. Toeing the line is boring. Your followers want to know what you think, and the presidential candidates know it. They pull no punches when it comes to their points of view – and that's putting it mildly.
Example: Bernie Sanders
It is absurd that corporations are allowed to make a profit by building more jails and keeping more Americans behind bars.
— Bernie Sanders (@SenSanders) November 25, 2015
2. Immediacy
When you're running for office, every second counts. Honestly, it should be no different for those who are running a business. Every presidential candidate realizes he or she can't afford to miss a beat, and they're on the clock practically 24/7. Their tweets are a reflection of what's happening in their world almost up to the minute. Brands should take note – real-time is big time when it comes to success on Twitter.
Example: Chris Christie
Check out the front page of the New Hampshire Sunday News. Thank you for the support @UnionLeader #FITN pic.twitter.com/0wu3lyyfJY
— Chris Christie (@ChrisChristie) November 29, 2015
3. Variety
If you're a one trick pony on social media, you're going to get nowhere fast. In the race for president, the candidates – and the teams behind them – know it. Tweets from presidential candidates stand in stark contrast to the verbiage they dispense in person, and their streams are far from a monotonous barrage of the same old, same old. They're as varied as possible; full of candid pictures, customized graphics, and short video clips pulled together especially for this channel.
Example: Martin O'Malley
What are you thankful for? #Thanksgiving pic.twitter.com/3ffHb7B893
— Martin O'Malley (@MartinOMalley) November 26, 2015
4. Audience
In direct mail, the industry in which I earned my livelihood for so many years, the axiom was that a bad offer to a good list performs better than a good offer to a bad list. The same goes for social media. You could be sharing the best content in the world, but if you don't have an audience, what you have to say is moot. The more people that follow you, the better the chances are that your voice is actually heard. Except for Jim Gilmore, who surprisingly has less than 3,000 followers, each of the presidential candidates has an incredibly large number of followers – from George Pataki's just under 100,000 followers, to @therealdonaldtrump's over five million.
Example: Marco Rubio
Our new ad is about my father and the sacrifices he made to provide for our family. https://t.co/9QTKop2OhN WATCH: https://t.co/KenZEHVFSX
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) November 24, 2015
5. Creativity
Too many accounts on Twitter are either afraid to step out of line or are downright incapable of thinking out of the box. Watching what they tweet about is like watching paint dry. Not that all the presidential candidates are completely innocent in this category, but by and large they're creative and clever – willing and able to mix it up every once in a while.
Example: Ben Carson
Make sure to catch all the behind-the-scenes moments by following me on @Snapchat! pic.twitter.com/VFh4ZQZNcU
— Dr. Ben Carson (@RealBenCarson) November 21, 2015
6. Authenticity
Those who want to be elected as the 45th President of the United States in 2016 are nothing if not themselves. Even though their goals and objectives are surprisingly similar, each and every one of them is the genuine article; their own man or woman through and through. Whether they're delivering a big speech or sharing a few words to a few thousand followers on Twitter, there's no mistaking who's who among them and what they each stand for – which is how it should be for anyone on this channel.
Example: Jeb Bush
These men and women are the future of our nation. As commander-in-chief, I'll have their back. https://t.co/17FOLlw9re
— Jeb Bush (@JebBush) November 20, 2015
7. Pictures
The writer in me hates to admit this, but it's true; still and moving pictures tend to increase your engagement rates. Yup, it's not all about the words. What you say is important, of course, but what you show counts even more.
Just ask the presidential candidates. They know the value of an opportune photo-op, because a picture is worth a thousand words.
Example: Mike Huckabee
Had a blast playing "Pride of America" w/ my good friend & extraordinary talent @AylaBrown #imwithhuck pic.twitter.com/ITxETBOEIP
— Gov. Mike Huckabee (@GovMikeHuckabee) October 16, 2015
8. Relentlessness
One of the biggest mistakes made on Twitter is underestimating much time you have to spend on the channel in order to succeed there. Tweeting once, twice, even three times a day is probably not going to get the job done. Unless you're a celebrity or a household name, you have to work hard for the attention. Follow the lead of the presidential candidates who, in many cases, are household names yet still tweet like there's no tomorrow.
Example: Donald Trump
Sarasota was an unbelievable success. We expected 5,000, a record, but 12,000 showed up! Great love in the air! pic.twitter.com/utmlCpGNGu
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 28, 2015
9. Engagement
Another way that so many in the corporate world drop the ball on this channel is to miss the opportunity, unintentionally or not, to have a conversation with their followers on this channel. In underestimating the importance of a reply, share, or like, they're failing to close the loop between themselves and their audience. For the presidential candidates, engagement with constituents is even more important. That's why they not only shake so many hands in real life, but also acknowledge as many followers as possible on Twitter.
Example: Ted Cruz
Thank you. Glad you liked it! https://t.co/9bCFbgAIvK
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) November 27, 2015
Something like this is easy for this bunch; wake up, look at the calendar, turn on the TV, then tweet about what's trending. When you're running for the highest office in the land, typically you are the news. But anybody has the opportunity to inject themselves into the national – or even global – conversation on Twitter.
As I once said in a past ClickZ article, "Taking advantage of trending news by writing about it as it is breaking can be a very effective way to inject your brand into the conversation if it is done in a clever, timely, and tasteful manner. The Grammys. The Academy Awards. The Olympics. Special events like these are ripe for the picking."
Example: Hillary Clinton
So much to be thankful for. Wishing a happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. -H pic.twitter.com/BxnKu5CKwt
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) November 26, 2015

What Were The First Books You Read?
I got to thinking today about how I got into reading in the first place. My mom is an avid reader, and it seems as if avid-reader-parents breed avid-reader-children. But you have to start somewhere, and you certainly can't start with what your parents are reading.
I don't know the order in which I started reading, I only know that I started reading The Babysitter's Club
…which made me want to start my own babysitter's club! I attempted this with a friend of mine, but it didn't work out. We even came up with a jingle! It went like this (I can't sing it over the internet, so you'll have to imagine your own beat):
Need a babysitter NAB
Need a babysitter NAB
We'll watch your kids
Any ol' time
Need a babysitter NAB
Silly, but fun. Somewhere around this time I learned about Sweet Valley High.
And around this same time I was with my sister-in-law and we were out at yard sales and someone was selling their almost-complete set of the Sweet Valley High series (there ended up being almost 100, if I remember correctly). Was I in heaven!! I started at number one and read them right through. Those, more than any other books, are the ones I would say are The Books That Got Me Into Reading.
Shortly after this I read V.C. Andrews.
Those books are about as trashy as they come. They contain incest, abuse, neglect…nothing explicit, they're definitely books for children (well, teenagers), but they're even farther away from literature than Sweet Valley High. They sure were good, though!
What books got you into reading?
