My Take:
Captured in stunning 4K Ultra HD detail, Planet Earth II is an immersive exploration of the islands, mountains, jungles, grasslands, deserts, and cities of the world. Journey to the four corners of the globe to discover the extreme forces that shape life in each of these iconic landscapes, and the remarkable ways animals manage to overcome the challenges of surviving in the wildest places on Earth. The highest-rated U.S. nature show among adults 25-54 in five years and the most watched unscripted telecast ever in total viewers on BBC AMERICA, Planet Earth II's remarkable footage follows some of our planet's animals/creatures to places human beings rarely see, capturing unique worlds populated by Snow Leopards, mountain based Flamingos, predatory Peregrine Falcons residing in the Big Apple, Marine Iguanas, a new species of Dolphin, as well as a host of land crawlers, ranger rovers, and jungle dwellers, as they encounter the struggles associated with both its changing environment and the circle of life. Filled with surprising facts and extraordinary images, Planet Earth II is a dazzling portrait of life on our planet.
A decade after the groundbreaking, Emmy Award-winning natural history series Planet Earth Blu-ray was released—which is still the number one selling non-theatrical home video release to date with over five million copies sold worldwide—Planet Earth II goes further, gets closer, and captures behavior and places that would have been impossible 10 years ago. Over three years in the making, filmed in 40 different countries on 117 filming trips and a total of 2089 shooting days, Planet Earth II is a visual spectacle that makes for a compelling, informative, and thought provoking documentary experience. I absolutely loved it.

Ultra HD Blu-ray has finally been released and eager enthusiasts are ready and willing to see what it has to offer. For those not familiar with the details regarding Ultra HD Blu-ray you can refer to my article that includes some pertinent data on the subject. Here is the link:
Ultra HD Blu-ray Has Come to AVS Forum Blu-ray Reviews
Planet Earth II comes to Ultra HD Blu-ray from BBC Worldwide featuring 2160pHEVC encoded video that has an average bitrate of 55 Mbps and lossless DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio sound that has an average bitrate of 2.3 Mbps.
For its presentation in Ultra HD, Planet Earth II (filmed entirely in 4K/2160p) was rendered from a 4K DI. This is a reference-quality high-definition presentation that boasts brilliant color, superlative depth, and an abundance of high-level detail. The nature-defined color palette is alluring as the deep, vivid, greens and resplendent earth-toned hues leap from the 1.78:1 framed video. Contrast balance is spot on and blacks are delineated, deep, and rich. Resolution is impeccable as the vastness and scope of the recorded elements offers lucid, three-dimensional acuity that is extraordinary. These beautifully captured images of our planet can be captivating as the richness of color, transparently rendered detail, and near infinite sense of depth and dimension are assuredly conveyed in Ultra HD. Those looking for a reference quality title to show off their new 4K/HDR display need not look any further. Wow.
The lossless DTS-HD MA soundtrack deliver the elements contained within this documentary film with aplomb. David Attenborough's running narration was clearly rendered with fine articulation and smooth intonation. I felt that it could have been a bit more forward within the front soundstage but otherwise presented very well. The front three channels are integrated nicely and combine high-level detail/clarity with pinpoint imaging. Han Zimmer's music has appreciable top-end air, smoothly rendered instrumentation, and discerning focus as its primary elements are delivered through the front speakers with low-level rear-channel ambience used to broaden the soundstage. The surrounds are effectively used to generate an enveloping soundscape filled with the various animal sounds of the jungle/plains, nearfield panning effects, and blowing winds. LFE presence is notable as bass response extends deep enough to engage the room when called upon. This isn't an aggressive surround mix but this audio presentation mates perfectly with the source and sound great.
Bonus Features:
- Disc 1: Planet Earth II Ultra HD Episodes 1-3
Disc 2: Planet Earth II Ultra HD Episodes 4-6
Disc 3: Bonus Material (54 Minutes)• Marine iguanas and racer snakes – For the first time, the PLANET EARTH II team filmed marine iguanas and their frantic dash for safety across their hatching beaches while being pursued by huge numbers of racer snakes.
• Birds of paradise – The bright and beautiful colors of birds of paradise in West Papua have been filmed before, but recently scientists realized that they had been looking at the displays in the wrong way. For the first time the crew filmed the display of the tiny Wilson's bird of paradise, not from the ground but looking down on him from above, up in a tree – the same way a female would see him.
• Araguaia dolphin – This new species of dolphin was discovered in the Amazon River in 2014, over 930 miles from the ocean and found nowhere else on Earth; almost nothing is known about them. The production team tracked them through the flooded forest to get the first glimpse of these dolphins in the wild. Using stabilized cameras mounted on boats and drones, the crew filmed them from both the water and the air.
• Bat hunting scorpions on the ground – Dubbed "the hardest bat in the world," the desert long-eared bat takes on the death stalker scorpion, one of the most poisonous scorpions on Earth. Thanks to some immunity to their stings, the long-eared bat comes out on top. Collaborating with scientists in Bristol and Israel, this is the first time this behavior has been filmed.
• Glowing fungi – These are the brightest fungi in the world, and while previously a mystery, scientists have now discovered the fungi may glow in order to trick beetles that use bioluminescence to attract mates. For the first time, new low-light cameras allowed the team to film the amorous beetles attracted to the glowing mushrooms.
• Snow leopards – The crew embarked on three trips in successive years to film snow leopards in Ladakh. In total the crew was on location for 16 weeks, and the camera traps were in the field for 15 months deployed along trails and scenting rocks used by the leopards. In PLANET EARTH II they're shown brushing right up against the camera! This is the first time four snow leopards have been filmed at one time as they mate, hunt, and fight, making it the most complete film of snow leopard behavior.
• Zavodovski penguin commute – In what was probably the most intrepid shoot of the entire series, the "Islands" team set off on a seven-day journey by sailboat across the planet's roughest ocean to get to the remote island of Zavodovski in the middle of the Antarctic sea. Very few people have ever visited this island and no one has ever managed to capture the amazing endeavor of the chinstrap penguins. Every day they have to face fierce stormy seas that batter them against the rocky cliffs as they try to get on and off the island to go out on their vital daily fishing trips.
• Bee-eaters catching insects flushed out by elephants – Carmine bee-eaters in Botswana follow elephants and other large animals that walk through the grass hoping to catch any flying insects they stir up into the air as they push through the vegetation. The team noticed that the birds were following their vehicle as it stirred insects, similar to how they would with elephants. So they sat a cameraman on the front corner of the jeep, strapped on a harness that supported a stabilized camera rig and filmed incredible shots tracking with the birds as they hunted in the air.
• Bobcats hunting in the Rockies in winter – Cameraman John Shier spent five weeks in the freezing conditions in the Rockies during winter, waiting to capture elusive bobcat hunting behavior. This is the first time ever these cats have been filmed hunting ducks and squirrels.
• Railroad worms hunting millipedes – Railroad worms are actually bioluminescent beetles that use two different lights on their bodies – greenish yellow ones to deter predators and a red glowing head to use as a "night vision" hunting light.
• Catfish hunting pigeons – This is a relatively recently described behavior where, much like killer whales hunting seals by rushing up onto beaches, these catfish wait in ambush at the edge of a river for pigeons to come and bathe. When the birds gather at the water's edge, the fish thrust themselves at the pigeons, grab them in their mouths, and then drag them underwater.
• Goshawks predating on sand grouse – The "Deserts" team set off to the South African desert to film sand grouse visiting water holes to collect water for their young. But what they stumbled across was far more dramatic: a pair of resident goshawks that had learned to wait around the waterholes and grab the grouse as they land. The goshawks know that, even though the grouse are aware that these predators are there, they can't afford not to drink in the extreme desert heat. Never filmed before, this a compelling story of the grouse risking death to bring back water to quench their chick's thirst.
• Lions hunting giraffe – The PLANET EARTH II team joined forces with camera operator Lianne Steenkamp, who has been following the same pride of desert lions in Namibia for the past few years. Combining specially shot material with some incredible footage captured over the years allowed the crew to showcase the most dramatic giraffe and lion hunt ever filmed in the "Deserts" episode.
• Locusts – For one month the team headed out to the arid regions of Madagascar to try to find and film a locust swarm. After some initial success the crew's luck completely ran out. Up until the last few days it looked like they would come back empty handed, but finally the team caught up with a swarm of biblical proportions. New technology such as MoVi's and drones allowed the crew to get right into the heart of the swarm, as well as film it from the air.
• Leopards hunting pigs in Mumbai – Mumbai has the highest concentration of leopards in the world. This is the most complete sequence of urban leopard behavior to date, and the first time anyone has filmed a successful hunt. The team used a military grade thermal camera to spy on the leopards.
• Hyperlapse – Within the "Cities" episode the crew used hyperlapse technique to immerse the audience in the urban environment. Rob Whitworth is the most accomplished hyperlapse cameraman of our day. He collaborated with the "Cities" team to create jaw-dropping seamless journeys through some of the most iconic cities of the world.
• Peregrines hunting in New York – New York City has the highest concentration of nesting peregrines in the world. This is the first time that the wild behavior of these urban birds has been filmed, capturing aerials of the fastest bird in the world dropping from a height at speeds of up to 200 mph.
Final Thoughts:
Captured in stunning 4K Ultra HD detail, Planet Earth II is an immersive exploration of the islands, mountains, jungles, grasslands, deserts, and cities of the world, as seen through remarkable footage that follows some of our planet's animals/creatures to places human beings rarely see. This spectacular documentary film comes to Ultra HD Blu-ray from BBC Worldwide featuring sparkling, reference quality video, excellent lossless surround sound and a complimentary supplemental offering. I thoroughly enjoyed Planet Earth II, and found it to be a wholly gratifying documentary/viewing experience. I can't recommend it enough for genre fans. Enjoy!

A couple days back, commentator Brent Bozell claimed,
One journalist is analyzing the elections correctly (for the most part) and it's noteworthy it comes out of The Atlantic, clearly a liberal venue.
In her article "Liberals Are Losing the Culture Wars," Molly Ball acknowledges that the left can attempt to diminish the results by saying this was "an off-off-year election with dismally low voter turnout, waged in just a handful of locales. But liberals who cite this as an explanation often fail to take the next step and ask why the most consistent voters are consistently hostile to their views, or why liberal social positions don't mobilize infrequent voters."
There is clearly a "passion gap" between the secular left and the religious right. The conservatives are mobilizing, spurred by an increasing liberal authoritarianism since the last presidential election, as the left puts "religious liberty" in scare quotes.
Reality check: "Liberals" are losing to progressives, who don't care about culture wars. They use executive authority and the top courts to execute their whims.
The more irresponsible the progressives' whims are, the greater a measure of their power we are witnessing.
It's irrelevant that voters don't agree with progressives if the progressives are dishing out the voters' food, shelter, clothing, and medical care.
And religious people will just holler louder for Jesus in increasingly restricted areas, then go vote for progressives for the good welfare they get (taken from future generations).
In reality, voters don't contest progressive rule for the same reasons cows don't contest the farmer's rule. Only independent people can be politically free. That's the only vote that would matter, and where is it?

Library flood wreaks havoc Donny Beach News Editor
reezing weather caused a water pipe in the Dye Learning Center to burst Dec. 9, flooding the lower level of the library in ankle deep water and causing an, as yet, uncalculated amount in damages just two hours after a sprinkler head popped on the Wilsonville campus, swamping
four classrooms. Library staff and Campus Services worked feverishly packing up books in an attempt to salvage the literature caught in the wake after one of the overhead copper lines broke. About 1,700 books had to be thrown away, said Ali Ihrke, the circulation and acquisitions coordinator. "They were damaged beyond repair," Ihrke said. The majority of the books
lost were Oregon history books. Some books on sports and feminism were also lost. However, not everything was destroyed. Another 500 books were sent to Service Master, a restoration company in San Francisco, for repair and some were able to be dried on campus, said Ihrke. According to Lloyd Helm, director of Campus Services, the cost to the college for restoring the library was capped by
the deductible on the college's insurance. "[It was] around $50k," Helm said. The deductible covered the cost of the book restoration as well as hiring the Lorentz Bruun Restoration Company to replace the plumbing, repair the damaged ceiling, and recarpet the library. In addition, the college's deductible was needed to cover the cost of replacing the sprin-
kler system on the Wilsonville campus. The four classrooms were leased by PGE for training linemen and holding high voltage refresher courses for technicians. While none of the computers in the library were damaged, it is unclear how much damage may have been done to the PGE equipment in those rooms.

inter is a good time for indoor sports and the Clackamas women's basketball team has been heating the coals with a promising start to the 2014 season. With wins over Lane and Southwestern Oregon, Clackamas was 2-1 going into Wednesday's game against the Chemeketa Storm. The hard-fought win put Clackamas at 3-1 in league, 14-3 overall for the season. The road to victory last Wednesday evening was grueling and demanded patience. Both teams were methodical and defensive, but the Cougars were able to keep the lead and came out on top. Much of the game was played at the free throw line as Chemeketa racked up fouls, Clackamas gave up a few fouls as well. The Cougars were aggressive early with nice shot attempts. They lead
with a score of 4-0 in the first few minutes. Laci Effenberger started off strong with a good layup scoring two points for a solid 6-0 lead. "We're really working on playing possession for possession. The season has been really good, every game is the most important game of the season," said Effenberger. Shortly after Chemeketa scored their first shot of the game Tori Wilkinson hit a nice three pointer showing that the Cougars were there to fight the Storm. Clackamas was ahead 11-2 when their next three pointer found it's mark. Emily Pengelly scored the shot putting the lead at 14-2. Please see BASKETBALL, Page 4

Donny Beach News Editor The free-to-ride shuttle service connecting Clackamas Town Center with the Oregon City campus has extended its hours and added a stop to the route at the Harmony Campus. Last term, Clackamas Community College added a second shuttle to its service to keep up with demand. Now, as of Jan. 9, that auxiliary shuttle will be running until 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and making stops at the Harmony campus. The primary shuttle will continue to run on the original schedule Monday through Thursday until 3:35 p.m., on Fridays until 11:25 a.m. Brenda Marks, who oversees student life and leadership, said students on the Harmony campus needed easier access. Under the old schedule, a student would still need to walk about 15 minutes in the elements to get to class after arriving at the town center. The new schedule is posted on the school website, at the bus turn-around on the Oregon City campus and can be picked up in the ASG office, CC152.

Clackamas Community College is hosting the Oregon Transfer Day event on Thursday, Jan. 23 in the Gregory Forum from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. The annual event happens at all 17 community colleges across the state. Representatives from 33 universities will be on campus to meet with students who are planning on transferring to four-year universities or who are looking into doing so. A representative from the Ford Foundation Scholarship will also be on site to answer questions. Gwenda Oshiro, academic advisor, said that the event is an excellent opportunity for students to connect with colleges and learn about requirements.
"Every transfer student should go to Transfer Day," Oshiro said. P. J. Martineau, academic advisor, said representatives are eager to share information about their schools and students should take advantage of their willingness. "[We] want students to see their options," Martineau said, "and find the best fit for their personal goals." Having the event on campus saves students from having to travel to other institutions that interest them, said Martineau. "It's a wealth of knowledge on campus," Martineau said.

character to them. I've bought new wood at times but I've always been disappointed by it, just because it didn't have the character," Wagner said. "Nothing is better than having an unexpected nail hole or knot in a piece of wood that you weren't planning for that you just have to work the piece around, and the character that the wood is already bringing to the piece." "Solitary Gestures" is an exploration into the mind of a man that not only loves what he does, but creates art that many can relate to. He uses unique mediums for his work, and it shows by how much care he puts into creating each piece, the biggest one of the exhibit taking around 40 - 50 hours of work. More of Wagner's work can be found at the Guardino Gallery on Alberta St. in Portland, along
with CCC's Alexander Gallery open Jan. 13 to Feb. 6, Monday - Friday at 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

There's something new in Niemeyer's Alexander Gallery, by the name of "Solitary Gestures." In a series of works by sculptor Christopher B. Wagner, these pieces are living up to their title. They aren't massive works of granite and marble, but a different template — unique sculptures of reclaimed lumber, Douglas fir, milk paint (an environmentally friendly paint often used for antiques) and the most interesting of all, pig intestines. "We had a great turnout to [Wagner's] reception, around 150 students and faculty," said Kate Simmons, Clackamas Community College's gallery director. "Multiple classes
Kentucky's religious practices. "Most of my inspiration originated from my upbringing," he said. "I grew up on a farm in Kentucky, I grew up extremely conservative in a religious background and I didn't have much exposure to fine art growing up, so most of my influences have been rural and almost primitive in nature." Furthering his use of materials that others would choose to throw away, Wagner also has a huge part in Glean, a project in Portland aiming to bring local artists and Metro, the regional government that helps run garbage collection and recycling in the area. Wagner emphasizes that he has a passion for using materials others wouldn't take a second look at, especially wood and paint. "I kind of fell in love with working with old materials, they had such a history and

heard Wagner speak, and students were very responsive." "Solitary Gestures" aren't pieces that are meant to disturb those who are looking at them, but instead, introduce solidity. Walking through these pieces, there's a sense of loneliness — simple and worn away paint and long limbs stretching for something. Wagner used the simplest materials for pieces that seem simple themselves, but are decidedly more interesting. Wagner youth in rural Kentucky inspired the materials he uses. "I grew up on a family farm, so we had an old barn as an out building on the farm that had since been replaced, but the old building was falling down," Wagner said. "So there were all these old big oak beams that I could have access to and cut them down." He also found inspiration in

BASKETBALL: Women win on home court Continued from Page 1
Zak Laster The Clackamas Print
CCC men fall to the Storm Cougars wing, Tim Lott (20), explodes to the rim for a dunk over the top of Chemeketa wing, Bryce White. The Cougars, who were up 10 at halftime, lost the game 87-75. Lott finished with 18 points and six rebounds.
Zak Laster Ad Manager
"We've meshed really well as a team," said GibbsBrown. "It feels like I've known them for five years but it hasn't even been a year yet. When it comes down to it when we saw them catching up we really pulled together as a team. Once we came together on defense our offense came together when it counted." Chemeketa fouled Wilkinson who made a free throw for 48-39. Then another Chemeketa foul on Effenberger put the Storm further behind the Cougars as she made both free throws for 50-39. Clackamas won 50-39. Head coach Jim Martineau was happy with the win, but saw room for improvement. "We're ranked second in the Northwest," said Martineau. "We haven't scored great this year, but defensively this is the best team I've been with. We're three and one in league." Effenberger played hard and put some great plays together with her teammates. "That's a good win for us," said Effenberger. "We're so used to hitting shots, when we're not hitting them it's nice to come away with a win, making defensive stops." On Friday the Cougars travelled to Roseburg where they lost a close 72-76 game against Umpqua, but they will have a chance for revenge on Feb. 15 when they play Umpqua on home court. The Cougars next home game and chance to avenge their first loss of the official season will be Feb. 5 at 5:30 p.m. against Portland.

Facing the highest scoring team in the NWAACC on Jan. 15, the Clackamas Cougars fell to the Chemeketa Storm, 87-75. Grant Sitton and Brandon Halter led the Cougars with 19 points each. The Cougars plan against the Storm, who averages 99 points per game, was to try to slow the tempo and limit the number of possessions the Cougars have. "We really didn't want to play in a hundred-point game," said Coach Clif Wegner. In the first half, the game went according to the coach's plan. The Cougars, shooting 43.9 percent from the field in the first half, were able to take a 10-point lead into halftime. The Cougars had hit a three pointer at the halftime buzzer that would have put them up 13, but the referee ruled that the shot came after the buzzer. Coming out of the locker room for the second half, the Storm came out firing with a 14-2 run, led by leading scorer Bryce White with 28 points. On the defensive end, Chemeketa clamped down and held the Cougars to just 27.8 percent shooting in the second half. "Our kids took some quick shots and deep three's which really wasn't what we were trying to do," Wegner said. "We just didn't do a good job at sticking to our game plan." The 10-point lead the Cougars enjoyed at halftime would disappear as they were outscored 53-31 in the second half. Despite the poor shooting in the second half, the Cougars were able to keep the game close because of 32 points off of 17 Chemeketa turnovers. But the closest the game would get would be seven points. This season, the Clackamas Cougars men's basketball team
is led by playmakers Spencer Bankofier and Tim Lott. Bankofier is known for his three-point shooting ability, while Lott uses an all around game to find success on the court. Cleaning up the glass down low is Grant Sitton. The Cougars currently are in fifth place in the NWAACC South standings and have five remaining home games, four of which are against teams that are ranked higher in the standings than the Cougars are. There is an opportunity for the Cougars to make a push to the top in the final month of the season. The Cougars (7-10, 1-3) next home game is Jan. 25 against LinnBenton.
Chemeketa used good offense, bringing the score to 14-5, but Ericka Pengelly scored this time. She hit a nice layup for a 16-5 lead. The score had reached 18-11 and Chemeketa fouled Jasmine Gibbs-Brown. Clackamas took a 19-11 lead as she made her first free throw and missed the second. Chemeketa was still struggling to keep up, but they were able to hit a nice outside shot which put the score at 21-15. Towards the end of the first half, Wilkinson drove the ball through the defense, scoring a layup. The Cougars commanded a 23-15 lead. Continuing their momentum, Gibbs-Brown sunk a nice shot from inside. The score was 25-15; Chemeketa fouled Gibbs-Brown. She hit one of two free throws for a score of 26-15. Chemeketa picked up another foul on Emily Pengelly who missed both free throws. The next foul was called on Clackamas and Chemeketa scored one of the following free throws, but the Cougars had the advantage with 26-16 at the half. Chemeketa started the second half with the ball and hit a shot bringing the score to 26-18. Rebekah Jamerson found a nice shot earning the Cougars their first basket of the half and 28-18 on the scoreboard. Playing more offensively, Chemeketa tossed a three pointer in. The scoreboard read 28-21. Chemeketa seemed much stronger beginning the second half. They made a shot during a Clackamas foul that put them closer at 28-23, but they missed both free throws. Chemeketa remained patient despite trailing. They kept up good defense and launched strategic offense as they scored another shot for 28-25. Chemeketa fouled Emily Pengelly who made her first free throw and missed the second. The score was
29-25. Chemeketa kept the game competitive scoring again. Now 29-27, the Cougars fouled Chemeketa. They scored both free throws, tying the game at 29-29 with 12 minutes left on the clock. Less than two minutes later, Emily Pengelly took back the lead with another well-timed three pointer for 32-29. A Clackamas foul gave Chemeketa two free throws, both scored for 32-31. Chemeketa then fouled Wilkinson who made both free throws putting the lead at 34-31. After a timeout, Clackamas fouled again, but it was for a single free throw. Chemeketa missed. Another Clackamas foul put Chemeketa back in front of the basket, making both free throws with 34-33. Chemeketa picked up another foul on Gibbs-Brown who made both free throws commanding a 36-33 lead. Again Chemeketa fouled Wilkinson who made one free throw for 37-33. Clackamas caught another foul, too, and Chemeketa made a free throw to 37-34. Chemeketa found their next foul on Effenberger with 6:19 left on the clock. She made both free throws. Clackamas lead 39-34. Chemeketa scored at 5:35 on the clock for 39-36. The infractions were piling up as Clackamas fouled Chemeketa. They made one free throw, taking the score to 39-37. Clackamas called a timeout at 4:43. Emily Pengelly passed-in to Gibbs-Brown, who scored. At 43-37 on the scoreboard Chemeketa fouled Effenberger who made both free throws, 45-37. Clackamas fouled Chemeketa with 1:28 remaining. Chemeketa made both free throws for 45-39. Chemeketa was scrambling to try and catch up. They called a timeout with 57 seconds to go. Chemeketa was penalized with another foul call at 0:38. Clackamas missed the single free throw. Chemeketa fouled again immediately after and Gibbs-Brown showed consistency making both free throws for a strong 47-39 lead. She lead in scoring with 14 points in the game.
Between West Linn and Lake Oswego Clackamas

Water may be the most important substance which is required by our bodies. However, many people do not drink it regularly. A human needs to drink about 3 liters or 13 cups of water a day. Every day, we lose water by breathing and urinating. About 60% of the human body consists of water and not drinking it regularly can cause illnesses. Here is a list of illnesses which can easily be prevented just by drinking water regularly.
- Insomnia
Insomnia or sleep disturbance can really interfere with our daily activities. It makes us late for work, prevents us from having healthier sleep, and can cause chronic health problems. People with insomnia have serious troubles to fall asleep at night. Therefore, sleeping pills are commonly used to counter insomnia. However, these pills are not healthy and potentially addictive. An adequate water intake, combined with healthy lifestyle, can prevent insomnia and give us healthier night sleep. Do not forget to exercise regularly and manage your stress.
- Skin problems
Drinking water regularly can make you look younger and more attractive. Skin wrinkles can be caused by dehydration and overly dry skin. Skin needs water because its cells are made up of water. Without enough supplies of water, skin can age too fast and cause too many wrinkles.
- Heart disease
Heart disease is a very serious matter which leads to deadly heart attacks. Exercise regularly and drink at least 5 glasses of water a day to prevent heart disease.
Water is not only important for our life but it can also prevent illnesses in the future. Being lazy not to drink water regularly can cause serious health problems. Therefore, do not forget to drink an adequate amount of water each day. Make sure to exercise regularly and have a healthy diet to maximize the benefits of water.

The Earth Rock Run is happening soon in North Andover, and you will want your feet to be pain free before the starting gun blasts. Toenail fungus can be a painful condition that will cramp your racing style. Laser treatment is a painless treatment for fungal nails that will get your feet race-ready.
Nail fungus is a condition that is contracted via public places such as a gym shower. It thrives in moist, warm areas like your shoe, and it infects your nails quickly. It can cause discoloration, thickening, and pain in the nail area.
There are different treatment options, but one of the most effective ways to end embarrassing fungal nails is by laser treatment. A laser pinpoints the infection and destroys it. It is a painless procedure because the laser works with specific wavelengths, and they target only the living fungi. However, this procedure does not result in the fungus being gone forever—it can grow back.
With fungus it's just as important to think about prevention of another infection. It can be more difficult to get rid of a fungus once it has made itself a nice, cozy home. Only a change of shoes and taking good care of your feet will stop the fungus from returning.
Call Dr. Mitchell Wachtel at (888) 616-2512 to schedule an appointment in one of our three Massachusetts office locations. Ask for more information about how laser treatment can help treat your fungal nails. We are here to help make your feet fungus-free and ready to race. Don't suffer the unnecessary pain of this infection any longer.

Maxine Waters Reclaiming Her Time Just Became Everyone's New Summer '17 Mantra
California Congresswoman Maxine Waters puts her foot down by reclaiming her time.
Rihanna's stay away request has been granted. A court ordered that there must be at least 100 yards between the singer and a fan arrested for attempting to break into her L.A. home.
The arrested, Steveland Barrow, 31, actually broke into a neighboring mansion, where he slept in a bed that he thought was Rih Rih's. He also lifted a few keepsakes before he was apprehended by a civilian.
Once LAPD arrived, he reportedly said that Rihanna invited him and he wanted to give her poetry. He had several poems with him.
Rihanna was not home — neither in her neighbor's house, nor her own — at the time of the incident. Still, her lawyer Miles Cooley said, she experienced "substantial emotional distress and concern for her personal safety."
The restraining order is permanent — good for three years. The order issued last month was temporary.
For her non-delusional fans, Rihanna continues her Diamonds tour with a visit to Barrington High School today in recognition of the students' charitable work.
The school, a public school located in a northwest suburb of Chicago, was the winner of a contest she held seeking, "creative and inspiring lipdub or video that includes a giving back to your community (and world!) message."
Later this evening, she plays Chicago's United Center with A$AP Rocky.

The Trump Doctrine – 'Leading From The Front'
By Lindsay Wess
The Trump Doctrine holds steadfast to the belief that the strongest guy in the neighborhood with a clear resolve to fight, rarely has to. Trump's philosophy is to spend whatever it takes to make the U.S. military the strongest, most up to date, well equipped, and technologically advanced in order to spend the lowest possible in Human Treasure.
In 2009, the budget for the DOD [Department of Defense] and the OCO [Overseas Contingencies Operations] was $666 billion. In 2013, that budget dropped to $578 billion, and although it's been climbing to $580 billion in 2016 it's anticipated to reach $644 billion by the year 2021. These numbers beg the question, what does the U.S. really need to spend to rebuild the military?
It's clear that spending in the $600 billion plus area has only led to a depleted personnel force along with equipment that's aged beyond the point of access to fresh replacements parts. Equipment parts beyond repair have to be replaced by harvesting from old and failing equipment. If Trump keeps to his word, funding will have to increase enormously. We are compelled to accept the fact that only a trillion dollar budget will allow for the restoration and expansion of next generation hardware. This infusion of money translates into tens of billions of dollars into new contracts for top tier contractors like: Boeing, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, etc.
While on the stump, Trump accentuated two areas in dire need of a course correction: Jobs leaving the U.S. and a depleted military. Trump repeatedly professed our military was ill prepared to deal with the global threat from radical Islamic terrorists, Iranian influence throughout the Middle East along with their march towards obtaining a nuclear weapon, Russia's larcenous procurement of Crimea from Ukraine along with creating a civil war in that country, China gaining an ever-stronger foothold in the South Pacific and who could ever forget North Korea; a country already in possession of a nuclear weapon and developing a ballistic missile capable of carrying the warhead to the U.S.
Unfortunately, Trump's warning were not the 'huckster-esque' rants of a Reality Show star looking to win votes, but rather a star lamenting the reality of a depleted military and a pledge to rebuild it. The statistics are jaw dropping. At present, the number of active U.S. Military is 1,196,897; at the end of World War II the figure was a staggering six million. In 2015, the Navy hardware amounted to two hundred seventy vessels; at the end of World War II it was a formidable six thousand.
True, modern technology allows the military to function with lower levels of personnel and hardware, but 'sci-fi' technology doesn't come cheap. Controlling Space is essential if the U.S. is to maintain its military superiority. If our GPS satellite system went down, we would be hurled back in time to conducting what is referred to as 'Industrial Age Warfare'; similar in nature to the Vietnam and Korean wars. Budget cuts in this arena would be playing a deadly game of chance.
Trump's relentless promise to rebuild the military, was not campaign rhetoric, but rather highlighting a story of neglect. However, The Democratic Party claims that our military spending already exceeds that of the ten largest militaries in the world combined. A claim that is true, yet misleading. The only reason other countries are afforded the luxury of offering social programs with cradle to coffin support is because the U.S. shoulders the majority of the burden by protecting its allies. Democrats view our military intervention in much of the world as an element of a vicious cycle in which the use of the military creates the need for a larger one. Trump would say that this kind of thinking is what gave birth to the dogma of 'leading from behind'; which was the motivation for pulling all armed forces out of Iraq, thus creating the vacuum in which Isis was born.
As we cannot predict the actual number of new job opportunities during the Trump administration, we can certainly surmise that the recruitment of engineering, technology & especially cyber sec professionals will be on the rise. Job fairs such as TECHEXPO Top Secret and hiring events at Ft. Meade which, offer opportunities to those who possess an active security clearance should therefore see an increase in participation from the country's leading defense contractors who will win new military contracts from the newly elected leadership.
Trump would no doubt compare those who harangue him for his pledge to have the strongest U.S. military in the world to those who burn the flag. The ironies of those who condemn that, which affords them to protest. Luckily for them, Trump is not swayed by their chants. Trump will take on the arduous task of building the military and although having the resolve to use it, will pray to not have to. A man that understands 'Leaders Lead From The Front.'

UK: Licence Deadline Looms For Butchers
Butchers, supermarkets, delis and grocers who fail to apply for a new butchers' licence within the next three weeks will soon no longer be able to sell raw meat and ready-to-eat food on the same premises, the Food Standards Agency Scotland warned today.The new licensing scheme, introduced in the wake of the 1996 E. coli outbreak in Central Scotland, takes effect from October 2. In order to ensure licences are in place by that date, retailers must submit their applications to their local environmental health department by August 21. Any shop which handles both unwrapped raw meat and ready-to-eat food will be affected, which means the scheme affects not only butchers but some grocers, supermarkets and delicatessen. Dr George Paterson, Director of the Food Standards Agency Scotland, said:"Butchers' licensing is good news for consumers and good news for butchers. Consumers will be able to have greater confidence in the products they buy and butchers will reap the commercial rewards which greater consumer confidence brings about."That is why it is vital that those butchers who have yet to put in place the appropriate hygiene measures do so as a matter of urgency. Their licence applications will have to be in by August 21 if their local authority is to have enough time to process them."The Butchers' Licensing Regulations are there to help butchers not harm them. But with the deadline now looming they must realise that unless they act fast they will not be in compliance with the law."These Regulations apply to anyone who trades in both unwrapped raw meat and ready-to-eat products, which means some grocers, delicatessens and supermarkets will be covered. It is therefore equally important for them to implement the necessary changes too if they have not already done so."

TORONTO, May 19, 2017 — Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:ABX)(TSX:ABX) ("Barrick" or the "Company") has published its 2016 Responsibility Report, which provides a detailed and candid look at the Company's environmental and social performance. The full report is available on Barrick's website at www.barrick.com/responsibility.
"At Barrick, we partner with host governments and communities to transform their natural resources into sustainable benefits and mutual prosperity," said Peter Sinclair, Barrick's Chief Sustainability Officer. "Managing our social and environmental performance in a transparent, collaborative, and responsible manner is one of the most important ways that we can generate value for all of our partners for the long term. As we move forward, we will increasingly leverage new digital technologies and innovation to improve our social and environmental performance, and increase transparency with our partners."
Sharing the benefits of mining
Barrick extracts metals that belong to nations and their people. Consistent with our Sustainability Vision, we recognize that we will only succeed if we work with host community and government partners to transform these resources for mutual benefit.
People and environment
For Barrick, mining done right means maximizing benefits while carefully managing the risks—both social and environmental—of our activities.
Working respectfully with others
Relationships built on trust and respect are at the heart of our ability to operate successfully—relationships between our employees, with communities and governments, with industry peers, civil society, and others.
While there is still work to be done, Barrick's efforts are being acknowledged. In 2016, the Company was listed in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for the ninth consecutive year. Barrick was also included in the Euronext Vigeo Index: World 120 in 2016. This index distinguishes the 120 most advanced companies from Europe, North America, and the Asia Pacific region for their environmental, social, and governance performance.

MTN is a telecom services and business solutions provider, with mobile operations in nine African countries comprising South Africa, Nigeria, Cameroon, Cote d'lovire, Uganda, Botswana, Rwanda, Swaziland and Zambia. It conducts its mobile operations in Africa through three business units, namely MTN-SA (South Africa), MTN International (territories other than South Africa) and Strategic Investments. The group had 20.6 million mobile subscribers as on 30th September 2005, with 80 percent of the subscribers present in South Africa and Nigeria.
Table 1 provides a regional snapshot of MTN's mobile operations in Africa as on 30th September 2005.

At the end of the financial year 2005, the group employed 5,283 people, of which 2,490 were based in South Africa, 1,844 in Nigeria and 949 in other regions. The total revenue of the group for the financial year ending March 2005 was USD 4.7 billion. MTN Group is listed on the JSE Securities Exchange South Africa under the telecom sector. Prior to 2002, the group was known as M-Cell.
Chart 1: MTN Group operations in Africa
MTN has been focussing on increasing its network coverage to more and more African countries. This is being done by forming alliances with local operators or by acquiring those operators altogether. It has strong strategic interests in Nigeria, where the number of subscribers increased by 123 percent in the financial year 2005 and the group incurred a capital expenditure of USD 890 million. The group has adopted a customer-focussed strategy in its markets of operation and has taken steps to improve the customer care services.
Specifically, MTN highlights the following strategies:
Expand geographic scope
MTN has long term geographic expansion plans in developing countries both within and outside Africa, either by acquisitions or by forming alliances with local operators. For instance, it acquired operators in Cote d'lovire and Zambia recently and the company is renewing bidding opportunities in Tunisia and Namibia. It has strong interests for network expansion in Nigeria, where it incurred a CAPEX of USD 890 million in 2005, the highest investment by any company in a single year, in that country.
Improve customer care services
MTN has adopted a strategy of customer retention and overall customer base growth by offering better customer care services. For this, it has:
Built more customer call centers
Appointed senior executives for managing customer care operations
Has been offering prioritised customer care services to high usage customers, without lowering the quality of service offered to lower usage customers
Increase Profit Margins in South Africa
MTN is focussed on increasing its EBITDA margin in South Africa. In the financial year 2005, its South African EBITDA accounted for about half of the total EBITDA of the group. As such, the group believes that the increase in EBITDA in South Africa will give an impetus to the overall EBITDA of the group. It has aimed to maintain its EBITDA margin above 40 percent in all its markets in Africa. Further, the group has adopted a pro-active bargaining policy, by which it aims to maximise savings by bargaining with the top suppliers over procurement of network equipment, airtime vouchers, handsets, etc.
Financial and Operational Performance
In the financial year 2005, the group reported revenues of USD 4.7 billion, an increase of 38.2 percent over the previous year. The increase in revenue was primarily due to strong performance in Nigeria and South Africa, boosted by the favourable economic environment in these markets. Together, the operations in South Africa and Nigeria accounted for 93.1 percent of the group's revenues. The revenue from data services has remained almost constant during 2004-2005, with non-voice services contributing only 3.9 percent in 2005 fractionally up from 3.6 percent in 2004.
In terms of profitability, MTN recorded an EBITDA margin of 41.5 percent in 2005, registering an increase of 3.6 percentage points over the margin of the previous year. The EBITDA in South Africa accounted for about half of the total EBITDA of the group. The group continued to improve MTN South Africa's margin, and EBITDA margin in South Africa increased by 10.4 percentage points and had reached 34 percent at the end of financial year 2005.

The total CAPEX incurred by MTN was USD 1.2 billion for the financial year 2005. Capital expenditure had increased by approximately 72 percent over the financial year 2004 due to the group's strategy of network expansion in developing countries, particularly in Nigeria.
The total size of the group's mobile subscriber base had reached 14.3 million at the end of March 2005, registering a year-on-year increase of 50 percent. Moreover, the number of subscribers increased significantly by about 45 percent during the six months ending September 2005 to 20.6 million.

The following are some recent developments for MTN:
Mergers and Acquisitions
In October 2005, MTN entered into Iran by acquiring 49 percent stake in Irancell, one of the two mobile network operators in Iran. This was the first expansion of the group outside Africa.
In August 2005, it entered Zambia by completing the acquisition of Telecel Zambia after finally getting the approval from the local telecom regulatory body. Telecel Zambia was one of the three mobile network operators in the country and accounted for 19 percent of the market share (in terms of number of subscribers), in September 2005.
In June 2005, it launched its network in Cote d'lovire by acquiring 51 percent stake in Loteny Telecoms, which had over 80,000 mobile subscribers in the country with a market share of 50 percent.
In November 2005, MTN introduced trial 3G services based on the High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) technology in South Africa for corporate customers. In the same month, it also launched Blackberry Connect in South Africa in partnership with Research in Motion (RIM).
In August 2005, it launched MTN banking in partnership with Standard Bank in South Africa, enabling its subscribers to manage their banking transactions through their mobile.
In April 2005, it launched Blackberry commercially in South Africa.
MTN has adopted an aggressive network expansion strategy in a number of developing markets in Africa by entering into strategic partnerships or alliances with local operators, or by acquisitions and mergers. The group is yet to launch its 3G services fully in South Africa and GPRS in Nigeria, which are its two biggest markets. The future outlook for the group's operations in Africa is as follows:
South Africa
The group has launched 3G services commercially in South Africa, as of June 2005. With the liberalisation of the telecom market and changes in regulatory policies in 2005, the group is expected to face challenges in South Africa from other operators due to increased competition in the market. The regulatory market began to change with the introduction of convergent billing in February 2005, which opened more sources for revenue and extended operating rights for the existing operators.
The group's operations in Nigeria will be the most interesting and most likely fastest growing, in the years to come. In the financial year 2005, the number of subscribers in Nigeria had increased by 123 percent, while revenues increased by 53 percent. The group will endeavour to maintain its hold in Nigeria by increasing network coverage and services, by offering innovative solutions, by increasing penetration levels and MTH is also expected to launch GPRS services in the country very soon. Furthermore, a recent increase in the GDP of the country, due to economic reforms introduced by the government and the privatisation endeavours, should further help to expand the subscriber base of the group.
Cote d'Ivoire
The country continues to be of strategic importance for the company, which can be judged by the fact that it had registered the highest growth rate for GSM services in Africa in the last five years. The country holds a good potential as the penetration level is low, at only 11 percent in 2004.
The group has recently entered this country following the acquisition of Telecel Zambia. The key growth drivers in this market will be the recently increased competition among the players and the low penetration rate of mobile services, which stood at just 3 percent in 2004. Moreover, the network coverage is presently concentrated in urban areas and the rural market continues to remain untapped. Telecel has already introduced 400 community payphone lines and intends to penetrate deeper into the rural areas of the country, and the local telecom regulator is also encouraging such measures by all operators.

Common Names:
Ginger, Jiang
Scientific Name:
Zingiber Officinale
The Indians and ancient Chinese used ginger roots to treat several common sicknesses. Although ginger originated in Southeast Asia, it was widely cultivated in other countries. By the 1st century, traders had taken ginger into the Mediterranean regions. Eventually, it became a popular spice in Rome. Unfortunately, the use of ginger fell from use once the Roman Empire fell. At this point, ginger's worth had increased. It was commonly used to make delicacy sweets in the medieval times.
Ginger, also known as Jiang, has been used for centuries both in food and as a medicinal herb.* Ginger may contribute to the maintenance of healthy digestive functions.* Ginger may help restore mental alertness when experiencing the occasional mental fatigue.* Ginger may contribute to the maintenance of a healthy immune response.* Its constituents may function as antioxidants to help the body naturally neutralize free radicals.*

Nausea is the uneasy discomfort that is usually felt just before vomiting. Nausea is not a disease, it is a symptom and can be caused by a number of reasons. Motion sickness, food poisoning, and even reactions to certain odors just to name a few. If you vomit or feel nauseous eight hours after eating a meal, it can be an indicator of food poisoning. It is important to understand what to do if you begin to feel nauseous. Avoid foods that are hard to digest. Eat cool meals if the odor of hot foods gets you nauseated. Refrain from laying down after eating. If you feel nauseated in the morning, try having light snacks such as crackers before going to bed. The biggest thing you can do to try to avoid nausea during the day is to drink at least six glasses of water a day.

[Spoiler] "Father is Strange" Lee Joon finds out about Kim Young-cheol's past
On the latest episode of the KBS 2TV weekend drama "Father is Strange", Na Yeong-sil (Kim Hae-sook) told Ahn Joong-hee (Lee Joon) the truth.
Ahn Joong-hee sent the DNA results to Byeon Han-soo (Kim Young-cheol). Na Yeong-sil received the papers first and knew that Ahn Joong-hee knew about Byeon Han-soo. She went to see him right away.
Ahn Joong-hee said angrily, "This is unexpected. I guess this means you knew everything in the first place". Na Yeong-sil said, "I've made a mistake" and apologized. He asked where his father was and Na Yeong-sil said, "He passed away from an accident. I'm sorry, I'll tell you everything" and knelt down.
"Joon-yeong's father's name is Lee Yoon-seok. He was just friends with Byeon Han-soo, your real father. We heard Han-soo went to the States when he was in high school. Yoon-seok was on his way home from Judo when he witnessed a student being abused and helped him but he was framed. The student died and Yoon-seok was arrested for murder. He couldn't even watch his mother pass away. When he got out of prison, Han-soo called from the States. He offered Yoon-seok a job in the States. When he got there, they were drinking together when there was an explosion. Yoon-seok woke up a week later but not Han-soo. In the process, their identities were switched".
Ahn Joong-hee said, "I don't believe you. Let's just say I do. He could have been honest and said who he really was". Na Yeong-sil said, "It's because of me. I had already conceived Joon-yeong. Don't forgive me. Can we just cover it up as it is? I know how thick-faced I was, but it was all an accident".
At the same time, Byeon Han-soo was at Ahn Joong-hee's real father's grave and said, "I couldn't be honest. Just beat me up later when you see me". He then visited Joong-hee with food, but Joong-hee called him Lee Yoon-seok.

Quality hotel with a few kinksPosted Feb 12, 2017
The staff were excellent and hotel was great overall. We had requested a King room and recieved a double but they quickly and happily fixed the problem... wonderful service! Only complaints are that one light was not working in the bathroom and the a/c unit was very noisy. Overall a great place for the money. Would stay here again.

I stay was excellent. I really enjoy the young lady in the breakfast room. She was very sweet and kind.

I was only there one night to rest on my way to S.C. Comfortable beds, good shower, good breakfast. Loved the reading lights by the beds.
