Coca-Cola's Media & Digital Marketing Deputy Dir., Ernesto Almada Brito, shares how the company continues to expand innovation and adopt new technologies like VR live streaming to stay relevant and connected to consumers.
Recently, the 131 year anniversary took place for the first batches of Coca-Cola were concocted by the company's founder, John Pemberton, taking his Wine Cocoa recipe and remaking it for the non-alcoholic prohibition era. On May 8, 1886 the new Coca-Cola beverage made its way from the vats to the lips of Pemberton Pharmacy's customers in downtown Atlanta.
Today 1.7 billion servings of Coca-Cola products are consumed every day by Coke fans around the world.
Even in those very early days, the concept around the marketing and branding of the infamous company was percolating. Frank Robinson, the company's accountant at the time, not only came up with the idea of naming the drink Coca-Cola, but also created the Spencerian script logo, believing that the logo's icon of two Cs would work well in adverting and promotional branding.
Robinson was spot on, and over the last 131 years the Coca-Cola brand has made its way into the fabric not only of American culture, but it has become intertwined into international societies. Coke's marketing and branding ingenuity and innovation has continued to evolve as the world evolves, which no doubt contributes to those 1.7 billion servings a day.
In less than one week the Coachella gates will open, letting the people flow in and letting the magic begin for the first of two consecutive weekends taking place April 14-16 and April 21-23. Festival promoter, Goldenvoice, will be live streaming performances once again during the first weekend of Coachella with returning sponsor, T-Mobile.
Last year the made waves with the introduction of their Coachella VR app that accompanied the customized Coachella Google Cardboard VR headset (and headset owners of Samsung Gear VR).
By downloading the app, fans from around the world could experience 360-degree views of various areas within the festival grounds, artists' performances, and check out VR video created by attending festival-goers.
It was the live streaming VR agency, vantage.tv, that had worked with Coachella since 2015 when Goldenvoice decided to bring VR into their continually evolving technical production.
In 2017, Coachella has taken the next step in the evolution process, working again with vantage.tv on their next-generation VR mobile app that now has augmented reality (AR) capabilities.
Big thanks goes out to all those that attended our SXSW Workshop providing a Deep Dive into Live Streaming and it's impact on Brands, Promoters, and Fans, and a ton of gratitude goes out to the SXSW folks for helping us make it happen. For those of you that want a refresh of the session or for all the folks that couldn't make it, here are the slides from the presentation along with the recording of the entire workshop.
SXSW is almost upon those of us who are attending, so we're trying to keep up with emails and RSVP's while prepping our bodies for the marathon and packing major doses of vitamin B12.
For those who can't make the trek to Austin, there will be a number of opportunities to experience the minute-by-minute happenings, performances, and exclusive video that even the people there on the ground won't have access to. Plus, audio streams broadcasting live will give everyone in Austin and beyond, stories, news, and music they can take in on the go.
Now in its 16th year, FADER FORT returns with four full days of musical performances from March 15 - 18. Since 2001, FADER FORT grew in popularity, expanding its footprint with massive crowds showing up to check out the artists and the FORT experience, following Twitter rumors of evening shows with suprise appearances, all of which contributed to the magic of SXSW.
This year they return to their roots in a "nod to The FADERs inaugural showcase in 2001," moving the festivities to a more intimate venue at 1209 East 6th Street (Volcom Garden) while still presenting a multi-use, indoor and outdoor environment to mashup music, the arts, drinks, lounging and playing.
It was November 1, 2014 at a downtown Los Angeles Halloween rooftop party where, according to Dann Saxton, the Co-founder and Head of Content for VRLIVE, the first VR 360 video live stream took place.
"It was called the Zombie Prom," Saxton said, telling the story of that night. "600 people on the roof with a full stage, live music, a full bar," and a night of the living dead featuring prom queens and kings, all live streamed in VR 360 video out to the entire world.
"It has been ELEVEN days, Stephen," Jon Stewart said during his January 31st guest appearance on Stephen Colbert's Late Show, "Eleven. Fucking. Days. ELEVEN!" And then, looking into the audience and the camera, he stated what we were all experiencing, "The presidency is supposed to age the president, NOT the public."
That was only eighteen f*#king days ago. What's happened since then plays out like a TV reality show based on a mashup of "Hunt For Red October 2: Defecting TO Russia," "Dumb and Dumber," and " Liar Liar."
Having been one of the lucky ones to win an Echo at the Capital One House activation at SXSW last year, I've called on Alexa to start my morning every day since. "Alexa, play BBC Radio 6 Music," and she complies, pulling up the British station on TuneIn. Amazon's Alexa made a lot of waves (no pun intended) at this year's CES as the voice assistant expanded its support offerings, from cars and refrigerators, to Lenovo's similar device to the Echo.
Amazon Music Unlimited and Alexa became the hot topic of conversation between Billboard, Jeff Bezos, and the vice president for Amazon Music, Steve Boom. Coming in at number 12 on Billboard's 2017 Power 100 list, the two execs discussed how Amazon Music Unlimited has some differentiating, cloud-based, machine learning architecture planned for its service that, when combined with the Echo, enables a user to create unique playlists, "Alexa, shuffle British Grime from last year," or by your mood, "Alexa, play sad shoegazer rock from the '90s," all through voice activation versus manually searching for and setting up a playlist on Spotify or Apple Music.
Kicking off this week's #StreamingBuzz with romance, given it's Valentine's Day week, and the relationships being cultivated in the digital and streaming entertainment space, which look to be businesses matches made in heaven.
Timing is everything, and there couldn't be a more perfect time for "Where's the Revolution?" the first and newest single from Depeche Mode's upcoming 14th studio album, Spirit.
Directed by Anton Corbijn with a WWII era filter, the lyrics resonate with the political and cultural climate that's been percolating since the early Bush years ("They manipulate and threaten / With terror as a weapon") and are fully boiling over in the Trump era ("Scare you till you're stupefied / Wear you down until you're on their side").

Mihir is in Bulandganj. While, the politicians think that he has come here to build their image, looks like he is here for some other work. As Sanjay rightly guessed Mihir has some ulterior motive. This is the reason why he has come to Bulandganj all over from Mumbai in the serial Tamanna.
Mihir Is Collecting as Much Information as He Can About Bulandganj
Mihir has been asking in-depth details about Bulandganj in Tamanna serial – From the nearest hospital to facilities about playground, school and safety on the roads. While, Sanjay is confused why Mihir is asking so many questions, he has no idea that Mihir is an evil man who is Dhara's ex-husband and Shubhangi's father. Mihir in Bulandganj is for his personal motive and this is this is the reason why he is researching and trying to know the city better.
Mihir's Aim is Shubhangi's Custody
If you have noticed the way Mihir is noting down everything in his diary, it is obvious that he is making a list of things. Now these things elaborate how things are not so good in Bulandganj where Dharaa is staying with her daughter Shubhangi. Yes, now that Mihir has come down to Bulandganj he is writing everything down and even capturing photos of not so good things in and around Bulandganj.
This must be only to gain Shubhangi's custody so that he can prove in court that Dharaa is not giving Shubhangi, a peaceful life, a life that she deserves. His only aim is to collect this information so that he can appeal to the court for her custody. We all know what a manipulator Mihir is and so in order to gain Shubhangi's custody he can go to any extent.
Sanjay Will Soon Know about Mihir's Intention
Sanjay who is highly irked by Mihir's curiosity about everything has already sensed his evil intentions. In the coming episode, we will see Mihir dropping his photographs which might have pics of Shubhangi and Dharaa. Looks like Sanjay will be successful in knowing Mihir's intention. You never know if he gets successful in knowing Dharaa and Mihir's past.
Will Sanjay Help Dharaa?
Sanjay looks like a strong and robust man from outside but he is a good guy who cares for people. This is the reason why he even released the children's playing kit from the police station and sent Veer to have lunch at Dharaa's place. We are sure post knowing about Mihir's past and his evil intentions he will surely help Dharaa and also sail her out of the problem. In fact, writers have planned a romantic angle between them. Looks like Sanjay will soon fall for Coach Madam Dharaa.
Yes, the serial Tamanna is all set to take an interesting turn – Let's see what Sanjay will plan for his guest Mihir in the coming episodes.

Banaso (Hazaribagh), Oct. 7: Maoist Communist Centre extremists today looted Rs 3.5 lakh from a State Bank of India branch and abducted the manager and three other employees.
The extremists struck around 11.30 am at the Banaso branch that falls under Vishnugarh police station, 55 km from the district headquarters. It marks the first MCC-led bank robbery in Jharkhand.
The rebels, who later released the cashier, said the robbery was their response to the stealing of Rs 14 lakh from them at Jhumra Hills last July by Bokaro superintendent of police Anil Palta.
Palta had seized Rs 14 lakh during a raid on the MCC stronghold of Jhumra Pahad, but the Naxalite outfit branded him a thief and vowed to punish him suitably.
In July, the MCC abducted 24 Hindustan Construction Company employees from Barkatha, nearly 70 km from Hazaribagh, but released all of them.
B.B. Pradhan, deputy inspector-general, North Chhotanagpur, said a raid was on, led by Hazaribagh superintendent Anurag Gupta and his Bokaro counterpart, Palta.
The assistant general manager of SBI has reached the scene of the crime.
Witnesses said about 20-25 men wearing police uniforms arrived outside the bank in a mini bus. Armed with guns, they encircled the building. Ten of them entered the bank, where the guard, Dhuran Prasad Sahu, surrendered meekly, handing over his rifle.
The rebels asked those present to remain where they were as they proceeded to snatch Rs 2 lakh from the cash counter and tried unsuccessfully to break open the safe. They snatched Rs 95,000 from a customer, Mahamaya Prasad, owner of Mahamaya Automobiles, and Rs 56,300 from Mohan Singh, who works at the irrigation department.
As they went about the robbery, they shouted police murdabad, MCC zindabad, and 14 lakh ka 28 lakh lekar rahenge, in a reference to the sum seized by Palta.
The MCC extremists damaged furniture and destroyed bank documents. As they left, they forced branch manager Rajkumar Maheshwari, probationary officer Rajesh Kumar Sinha, cashier Tulsi Das Karmali and another employee, Durga Hembrom, to accompany them. They commandeered a vehicle and after proceeding some distance towards Bokaro, released Karmali.
Local residents and customers said it took them a while to figure out that the MCC men was looting the bank as they were in police uniform. Police were informed only after a while, resulting in Jai Narayan Prasad, officer-in-charge of Vishnugarh station, reaching the bank an hour late. The bank has no telephone connection and all telephones in the area have been out of order for the past month due to a technical snag.
Pradhan said Palta was immediately asked to conduct a joint raid to arrest the extremists. He said Karmali had helped put them on the rebels trail, adding that the owner of the minibus in which the Naxalites arrived had been traced. He has been identified as Parmeshwar Sahu of Tati Jharia.
Two CRPF companies, one from Bokaro and another from Hazaribagh, have been called to help with the raids.

What is Hexa merge
Refer to slide #42 and 43 and also 70 in ICEM CFD tip and tricks 2010 http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ans...efinement.html
I cannot understand what is hexa merge and how to use it with octree or other tetra meshing method...
When you have a wing for example, block the wing , convert to unstructured, delete the volume mesh. create surface mesh in tetra for far field, grow the prism and generate a delaunay...
Actually, for the merge to work, you need volume elements on both sides. If one side only has quads (without hexas behind), then you should use "make Conformal".
It is like merge mesh, but instead of using it to merge a hexa and tetra flow region end to end, you have one inside the other, such as a hexa wing inside a tetra volume. The end result is nicely ordered quads along the interface.
It is the kind of thing you don't need to work out unless it is what you are trying to do... The hexa radiator in a tetra under-hood is probably more common than the wing example...
Thanks Simon for this
Another question :o,
Please refer to this slide below:
I'm not very familiar with the terms used, the "automatic bottom up" approach means when i initialize 2d surface blocking, right ?
If so, why does this feature not work when one wants to initialize each individual surface. I noticed that when i do it for a wing, later on i can't initialize a new 2d block for another surface, i will have to replace everything.
What does "manual component approach", i guess , generating 2d planar blocking manually, right ?... How do we sew, merging vertex ?

RESIDENTS of Ilton are celebrating after a new playing field for the village was secured.
For years, youngsters in the village have been forced to play on a small patch of land with some football nets as there was no other green space in the village.
But now, thanks to the AH Warren Trust, a new 14-acre field behind the back of the village hall has been bought, and will help provide both the young and old with a new recreation ground.
It brings an end to a six-year project as parish councillors and residents sought a new field for the village, after the lack of a playing field was first identified in 2006 Ilton Parish Plan.
As well as the new field, there are plans to develop a multi-use games area, more football pitches, outdoor gym equipment, wooded area and dog walking space, plus car parking and disabled access.
Lee Hart, chairman of Ilton Parish Council, has spearheaded the campaign, said he was delighted the field would soon be in use.
He said: "It's been a long time coming.
"The patch of land we had was just a small field with football nets in, and it wasn't fit for purpose really, for football or any other sort of recreational game, but it was quite well used.
"We had been trying to find another piece of land for a long time, but then the AH Warren Trust offered us this one.
"This is thanks largely to Warren Cooke, who put this together and approached us, and helped the parish council hold various consultations and all the residents think it's great, and have positively reinforced it."
Now, after the agreement for the new field was signed, councillors and developers will also look into how to create a drainage system to try and alleviate flooding concerns.
Cllr Hart said the new field was even better news for the village as there are set to be more housing developments constructed in the near future.
He said: "It's amazing.
"We are getting some more housing going up and that's going to help maintain the level of council tax of Ilton, which will help us maintain the funding for the field and other projects.
"This is quite a significant project, and we're delighted it's now officially been signed off."

Therapy Toronto Psychotherapy Definitions
- Relational
- Relational psychotherapy is a powerful, effective model for working with individuals who suffer from chronic emotional, psychological, and/or relational distress.
Relational psychotherapy is based on the following principles:
Emotional well-being depends on having satisfying mutual relationships with others.
Emotional distress is often rooted in patterns of relational experience, past and present, which have the power to demean and deaden the self.
The relational therapist tries to understand the client's unique self-experience in its social/relational context and to respond with empathy and genuine presence.
Together, client and therapist create a new in-depth relationship which is supportive, strengthening, and enlivening for the client.
Within this secure relationship, the client can safely re-experience, and then find freedom from, the powerful effects of destructive relationships, past and present.
Relational psychotherapy balances the study of structures or patterns of self experience with the study of persons in interpersonal process. Through the interpersonal process of therapeutic interaction, relational therapy strengthens and transforms a client's sense of self, which in turn enhances his or her confidence and well-being in the world. Empowerment and growth through interpersonal connection are both the process and the goal of relational psychotherapy.
With this perspective on therapy and relationship, a relational therapist takes seriously the interpersonal impact of power differentials and social issues such as race, class, culture, gender, and sexual difference, and works with these issues as they are present in the client's life and in the therapeutic relationship.
The principles of relational psychotherapy are drawn from self psychology, intersubjectivity theory, relational psychoanalysis, psychodynamic developmental theory, trauma theory, and feminist theories of psychotherapy.

But, without a doubt, we need more leadership and leadership on the field in different ways."It can be a strong voice but it can also be from making plays. We need more guys that, when the game starts, are ready to take real action. When you lose a leader, everyone is challenged to take a bigger role."

What Is Organic Search Marketing
Organic search marketing or search engine optimization is the process of obtaining traffic from organic/free sites. Search engines rank content in order of relevance to the search. The goal of search engine optimization is communicating with buyers what information is most valuable to what they are looking for. SEO has been about gaming search engine ranking algorithms to ensure higher placement in search results. However, Google changes their ranking algorithm several times a year and trying to keep up with those changes is impossible.
The future is about content marketing. Marketers are trying to create valuable content to ensure that their product or service shows up in prospective customer's organic search. Yet it takes more than creating content to ensure that you are reaching the right prospective buyers. By putting the right content in front of potential buyers, marketers will be able to dramatically increase conversion rates.
Captora mines your existing content and automatically compares it with web-wide and competitor content to identify where new campaigns and optimization opportunities exist. Thus, marketers are able to close content gaps, see how their competitors are doing, and see what their buyers are searching for. With Captora, marketers have insight into what content to create to ensure they are reaching their target audience. Now, marketers can generate more leads, increase conversion, and increase overall web traffic.

De Allende double delight
Damian de Allende scored two tries to lead the Stormers to a 32-18 win at the New South Wales Waratahs.
The South African conference leaders ended a three-match losing streak against a Waratahs side who had won four of their first seven matches.
The visitors took the lead in the sixth minute through the boot of Demetri Catrakilis.
Bernard Foley missed a chance shortly afterwards to level the scores, but moments later Taqele Naiyaravoro went over for the hosts.
The conversion was missed and Catrakilis put Stormers back in front, a lead which was extended further after 20 minutes.
Juan de Jongh and Dillyn Leyds combined down the left before a kick was collected by Scarra Ntubeni. He played in De Allende who went over with ease. Catrakilis once again kicked the extras.
Foley got his side within touching distance with a penalty after 36 minutes and the Waratahs hit the front a minute before the break when Rob Horne beat Kobus van Wyk to the corner. Foley converted.
Van Wyk was to make his mark six minutes after the restart as he collected a chip-kick from Kurt Coleman and arced clear to cross the whitewash.
Coleman converted, before the boot of Foley brought the home back in it at 20-18 behind.
However, De Allende went over again with 10 minutes to go, before Cheslin Kolbe made sure of the win, going over with four minutes left as the Stormers won in Sydney for the first time since 2007.

BYU Hawaii - Laie, Hawaii
Specifier: Architectural Nexus Salt Lake City, Michael Costantino
The Design team for Brigham Young University in Hawaii discovered a special Natural Reed material by Lumicor called "Autumn Zitto Light" which became the focal point of their custom luminaire design. It is a mostly transparent material so it stands off of a white acrylic frame by 1" for proper light diffusion.
According to Lumicor's website, "Hand placement of reeds which are ecologically harvested from sustainable crops makes each panel distinct and the reeds capture the ambiance of exotic locations and reflect the elegance of nature."
This is very fitting for the Hawaii campus. The pendants were designed in 2 sizes; one with a twin tube fluorescent light source in a 30"H x 16 1/2"W body, and one with a linear fluorescent in a 40"H body. Wall sconces with similar accents were also designed to complement the pendants.
The custom fixtures featured at the Brigham Young University - Hawaii are just another example of how Visa Lighting continutes to Perform Beautifully.

UKIP see that Israel has a right to exist, a right to self determination, but is not inherently anti Palestine. I have recieved many messages of support when I set up Friends of Palestine esepcially from younger members
T.Stokes LOndon sends -
UKIP is Israel's best friend
uk independence party
Roger Knapman was, until very recently, leader of the UK Independence Party.
He has spoken out against the argument that the Israeli attacks on Hezbollah were disproportionate. ( 7 - 8 - 2006)
"We all want peace in the Middle East," declared Mr Knapman. "However, we mustn't think in terms of Israel taking on the Lebanon, but of Israel taking on a terrorist group whose aim is to destroy them..."
"Let us not forget that Hezbollah are firing Iranian missiles at Israeli civilians and that Iran's conservative president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said that Israel must be 'wiped off the map'.
" The three political parties have all stated that they think the attacks by Israel are disproportionate in terms of the initial offence, which was the capture and imprisonment of Israeli soldiers.
"What is disproportionate" continued Mr Knapman, "is the criticism of the Israel counter attack. As stated in the United Nations Charter, nothing impairs the inherent right of a nation state to defend themselves if an armed attack occurs.
"What could be more threatening to a country than its neighbours publicly announcing they want that country destroyed?" he added.

The responsibility of the media (whether television, radio, print or digital media) is very high in an environment like the current one in Spain.
During her first press conference, Nikki Haley stated that the UN has "breathtaking double standards" with Israel, but the US "will not turn a blind eye to this anymore."
The recently appointed US ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, offered her first press conference on Monday, where she showed the radical change in her country's position on Israel and criticised the way the United Nations treats Israel.
She made her comments to the press shortly after attending her first regular monthly meeting on Middle East issues, which she said it "was a bit strange."
"The discussion was not about Hizballah's illegal build-up of rockets in Lebanon. It was not about the money and weapons Iran provides to terrorists. It was not about how we defeat ISIS. It was not about how we hold Bashar al-Assad accountable for the slaughter of hundreds and thousands of civilians. No, instead, the meeting focused on criticizing Israel, the one true democracy in the Middle East", Haley explained.
According to her, the United Sates does not agree with that behaviour, so that her country "will not turn a blind eye to this anymore. I am here to underscore the ironclad support of the United States for Israel."
"The United States is determined to stand up to the UN's anti-Israel bias. We will never repeat the terrible mistake of Resolution 2334 and allow one-sided Security Council resolutions to condemn Israel", the ambassador affirmed
Haley lamented that "the outrageously biased resolutions from the Security Council and the General Assembly only make peace harder to attain by discouraging one of the parties from going to the negotiating table."
"The double standards are breathtaking", she pointed out, explaining that after a terrorist attack in Israel, although "the Security Council would not hesitate to condemn an attack like that in any other country, the statement was blocked. And that's downright shameful."
The US ambassador concluded her press conference stating that "the United States will not hesitate to speak out against these biases in defense of our friend and ally, Israel."

Italy Advances With 2-1 Win Over Austria
Associated Press
Tuesday, June 23, 1998; 12:06 p.m. EDT
SAINT-DENIS, France Christian Vieri fired his fourth goal of the World Cup Tuesday, and Roberto Baggio his second, as Italy qualified for the second round with a 2-1 against Austria.
The defeat puts Austria out of the World Cup.
Vieri's strike came in the 48th minute.
Alessandro Del Piero, who had just been fouled, took a delicate free kick from the left of the penalty area, and Vieri climbed high above the Austrian defense to head powerfully past goalkeeper Michael Konsel.
Baggio tied the game up in the 89th minute when he tapped in a cross from Filippo Inzaghi as Austria surged forward in search of an equalizer.
Andres Herzog scored for Austria with a penalty in the 92nd minute after Hannes Reinmayr had been pulled down, but the goal was not enough to save Austria from first round elimination.

"Honey, why don't you run to the drugstore and buy me some of that nighttime stuff the doctor told us about. I need something to clear up this congestion and sore throat I got"
As Ace Ventura would say "alrighty then".
But its really not alright, you know.
Most drugstore meds don't fix your illness, they just mask symptoms.
Lets just analyze the typical scenario that plays out countless times in our homes. We get stuffy so we buy un-stuff me 24 hour relief medicine to mask our symptoms.
Got a headache from the flu, alright just pop some gel pills for the pain to float away.
Diarrhea, well just pass the pink stuff, I'm doing pink shots tonight.
Sore throat, "Now Wilma honey you know, aint no sore throat my good old doctor hasn't cleared up with em antibiotics".
Off we run time after time like sheep to the slaughter house. We think that just because the doc said so it must be good. We trust more in the pharmacy tech then we do in our own instincts. Why is that? Now please don't get me wrong, doctors are necessary as they are great at diagnosing. I trust my doctors completely to diagnose me, but then I go home and in most cases find out on my own what is causing the diagnosed illness and I work on treating it naturally and removing the cause of the illness so that it does not reoccur. Of course this is solely a decision I have made and in no way am I advising that you ignore proper medical treatment.
The point of this article is to help you draw outside of the lines for a change and not get yelled at for doing so! I want you to start thinking outside of the box.
Seldom do we stop to consider that what we are eating and our environment can be causing our ailments. I was privileged to travel with my family and live in other countries other than the USA. And I have concluded that although we are a great nation full of advances and freedoms we are lacking greatly when it comes to our health. We have become a nation that over medicates instead of over-investigating and thinking outside of the box. When you're depressed and suffering from terrible migraines you most likely go to the doctor and walk out still sick but with a pocket full of prescriptions. We serve up hard-core drug cocktails in the form of prescriptions whenever a symptom is present and we need relief. I want to encourage you to find out more about your body and what it's lacking nutritionally. Dont mask symptoms, strive to find the cause and then work on eliminating the cause and treating the health condition appropriately.
Take migraines for instance. Did you know that mold in your home or work can trigger nasty migraines? Yes especially toxigenic mold which produces mycotoxins. Most people living in hot humid, damp areas have serious mold issues and don't even know why they keep getting infections and upper respiratory sicknesses. Here is a list of things that daily toxic mold exposure can cause:
- Respiratory distress, coughing, sneezing & sinusitis.
- Asthmatic signs; wheezing, shortness in breath, coughing, burning in lungs, etc.
- Irritable bowel syndrome, nausea & diarrhea.
- Difficulty swallowing & mucous.
- Burning in the throat and lungs (similar to acid reflux and often misdiagnosed as such)
- Swollen lymph nodes
- Thyroid irregularities,
- Migraines & Headaches
- Anxiety/depression, heart palpitations
- Extreme blood pressure, cholesterol, or triglycerides irregularities
- Night head sweats, and drooling while sleeping, profuse sweating
- Nose bleeds (stachybotrys)
- Joint/muscle stiffness and pain
- Irregular heart beat
There are more things that mold can cause but this would be a very long article if I listed all of them. If you suspect that you have a mold problem you should have the air in your home tested and follow up with your doctor and a knowledgeable immunologist. Ive been going to many appointments trying to get to the bottom of a few health problems that seem to point to mold in my place of work since our home tested and came out clean.
Have you been feeling down lately, lacking motivation and overly anxious? I know I have been there and done that and if not dealt with these symptoms can be serious and an unhealthy situation for your family, especially if you're a new mom or just had a baby. So the first thing is to find the cause of your symptoms. Try to eliminate it but if you're like me and your life is a living roller-coaster all the time then you just can't eliminate it, you live with it and try not to pull your hair out! Along with serious prayer and time to reflect, I have found that the following foods/supplements work great for depression and anxiety:
- Rescue Remedy taken several times a day – Check out my post on this
- Cashews
- Whole cereals and beans
- Swiss muesli – eat with organic soy or almond milk
- Non-Instant Organic Rolled Oats – add in smoothies, cookie and pancake mixes
- Organic Rose Petals brewed as a tea with honey
- Organic Lemon Balm tea or tincture
- Vitamin B Complex
Upset stomach and diarrhea anyone? We use glutamine powder by Jarrow to stop chronic diarrhea when its been going on for more than 2 days and is related to a flu bug. Glutamine is an amino acid that we have found to be terrific in stopping diarrhea. It also helps the body heal internal and external wounds after surgery. It helps with the protection of muscle tissue, so its a must if you work out with weights. Aloe is also fantastic for upset stomach, diarrhea, colitis, GERD, indigestion and many other gastro-intestinal discomforts. The brand I recommend is called Aloe Life in the berry flavor.
Do you have a miserable cold with mucous and an itchy scratchy throat? We use oregano, garlic and lemon balm all the time and they work wonders. The most potent brand of Oregano is called North American Herb & Spice – Super Strength Oil of Oregano. Its tastes strong but just a few drops 1 to 3 times per day has relieved us from the nastiest of cold and flu infections. Garlic should be mashed and eaten uncooked in everything when a cold or flu is present. It should also be mashed or pressed and placed inside a cup while steeping tea for 15 minutes. Strain off the garlic and sweeten with honey. A good tea to do this with is Thyme as you are doubling your anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-spasmodic properties.

The campaign will feature a breakthrough online viral video with placement on the high definition JVC video billboard in Times Square and an extensive campaign that includes print features, editorial, extensive PR buzz, online banner ads, concert tour promotions, as well as promotions through the HD Radio Alliance and Clear Channel's iHeartRadio service, which offers access to 750 radio stations in 150 cities.
With over 30 million views-to-date between the first three Turn Me On viral videos, JVC Mobile Entertainment has revolutionized the car audio marketing landscape with this innovative viral video series. For the fourth installment of the campaign, JVC Mobile Entertainment celebrates the four decades that it has been creating cutting-edge products, by teaming up with acclaimed artists that define each respective era from the 1980's through today. The concept of the video is a time machine-like journey through the decades, featuring four TMO girls who ride and sing along with each of the lead singers in a Chevy Camaro from each respective decade. Traveling through time, the music, fashion, cars, and of course, the car stereos evolve from the '80s to the modern day. JVC Mobile Entertainment pays tribute to the company's rich history by featuring authentic JVC stereo head-units from each decade.
The "Queen of Metal," and former member of The Runaways, Lita Ford kicks things off for the 80's with her 1984 hit "Gotta Let Go," followed by multi-platinum selling 90's rock group, Candlebox and lead singer Kevin Martin singing their 1994 single, "You." Seven-times platinum selling artists, Puddle of Mudd represent the music of the new millennium, with front man, Wes Scantlin singing their 2003 chart-topping song "Away From Me," while up-and-coming rock band, Rev Theory and singer Rich Luzzi represent the newest generation of rock with their aggressive 2011 anthem, "Wicked Wonderland." The culmination of the video is a pool party scene at The Hollywood Tower Residences, featuring a live performance by Rev Theory, while all of the artists of the past decades join them, rocking out poolside.
Turn Me On 4: Decades highlights some of JVC Mobile Entertainment's most popular mobile entertainment products, including the KW-NT50HDT in-dash navigation receiver the KWAVX840 in-dash multimedia receiver and the DRVN speaker series. The video also spotlights JVC Mobile's innovations in smart phone compatibility with use of both Clear Channel's iHeartRadio and Fullpower's MotionX-GPS Drive, the leading iPhone navigation application. Also, JVC products like the Xtreme Xplosive headphones, Kaboom! boom boxes, and HD Everio camcorders are featured in the video to further promote the JVC lifestyle. Additionally, for the fourth year in a row, JVC Mobile turned to the creative team of creative director & writer, Danny Klein (e2amp) and director, Steven Lippman (Steven Lippman Print + Film). The intensive 2-day shoot took place on location at the historic Hollywood Tower Residences and was produced by 3Star Productions.

Ottawa - Amnesty International called on Canadian authorities on Wednesday to arrest and prosecute George W Bush, saying the former US president authorised "torture" as he directed the US-led war on terror.
Bush is expected to attend an economic summit in Surrey in Canada's westernmost British Columbia province on October 20.
London-based AI made a case for Bush's legal responsibility for a series of human rights violations in a memorandum submitted last month to Canadian authorities, but only now released to the media.
"Canada is required by its international obligations to arrest and prosecute former president Bush given his responsibility for crimes under international law including torture," Amnesty's Susan Lee said in a statement.
"As the US authorities have, so far, failed to bring former president Bush to justice, the international community must step in. A failure by Canada to take action during his visit would violate the UN convention against torture and demonstrate contempt for fundamental human rights." Lee said.
Amnesty says Bush authorised the use of "enhanced interrogation techniques" and "waterboarding" on detainees held in secret by the CIA between 2002 and 2009.
The detention programme included "torture and other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment [such as being forced to stay for hours in painful positions and sleep deprivation], and enforced disappearances," it alleged.
Amnesty's memorandum cites several cases of alleged torture of individuals detained at the Guantanamo Bay naval facility, in Afghanistan and in Iraq, by the US military.
Baahaahhaaa!!!! Now this is funny... Why don't AI go ask Iraqis how they feel to not be under dictatorship rule anymore? To not be prosecuted for their faith or ethnic background?
The citizens of iraq did not deserve this war, sure they were under dictatorship rule but even now they are leaderless. i recently watched a documentary on the iraqi war from the perspective of an american soldier and the one said something true "every country should have the right to a civil war without the interference from other countries", it was just a matter of time before the iraqis would have done it themselves, a clear indication of this is the uprisings in egypt. the americans don't have the freedom of iraqia in mind their war is for their own selfish needs, they are there to ensure that the oil gets transported safely. Many human rights violations has taken place in this war like the Mahmudiyah killings and the killing of reuters cameramen because it seemed to the pilot of a helicopter that they were carrying rocket launchers and the resulting imprisonment of bradley manning. The difference between bush and hussein is the one did under the guise of democracy, the other did not. therefore bush is entitled to the same fate as hussein.maybe he shouldn't be hanged but he should be put on trial at least, as i believe "he tried to kill my daddy" is not a sufficient reason for war.
Lizzee: Actually, there's nothing even the least bit funny about it. Last time I read anything reliable about Iraq, life there wasn't exactly a Sunday picnic through rose tinted glasses for it's people.
@BrixtonBriefcase Please let me know where you read anything reliable
careful canada, u might have nuclear weapons.. throw his a$$ in the canarie island volcano
@jjvz1989: Only one problem with a dictator, they tend to be running a dictatorship with paranoia (deserved). With this they tend to murder people if they even talk negatively about them, make sure that their army's are very well paid and equipped. If the international community did not step in with the Libyan war the slaughtering done by Gaddafi on the general public would have been much worse. Egypt a rise-up was successful since it was not a dictatorship. I will not justify the Iraq war, and I will definitely not stand with Bush, but in the long run Iraq, imo, needed help. The precise course taken is, well, questionable.
But, all said, I would LOVE to see Bush on trial. Even if it is just a way for the international community to see that every president can be held accountable for their actions. Even if it was in absentia, and Bush having an arrest warrant out if he ever left the US for the rest of his life... that would be a step in the right direction
tk please explain what slaughtering gadaffi did in lybia? all you do is turn on CNN and believe the propaganda without thinking for yourself.. like the women in Syria who was killed and brutally skinned so says the Americans and then suddenly appreared on TV alive and well. in any case nothing will happen to Bush, all so called independent international bodys like the UN, World Bank, IMF are controlled by the west, directly or indirectly
Are u talking about Iraqis who lost approx 10 000 of their civilian families killed by US air force bombs. They must be a milllion times more forgiving than Mandela.
Hang the son of a pig.
He's responsible for the deaths of millions and deserves no better than a slow, painful death.
If they arrest Bush, they must also arrest the SA government, also almost every government in Africa, Middle East, Far East.Maybe not a bad thing, but where will AI try them? While on that issue, I have a few questions about AI office bearers
Should point out that the iraq war was over in three weeks, most of the deaths have been as a result of an insurgency from Iranian supported factions
Bush will not be arrested simply because he was not a leader of an African state.
And rightly so
True, apart from murdering, in Africa they steal, plunder and rape as well.
The USA roams around the world killing people at its choosing, exempt from the law, because the law is in the family. On some hunts for its victims, family members, like Britain, France, Italy, Canada and others, will join them in the hunt.
That's exactly who they are in the west, a family of serial killers, exempt from the law.
Of course, they don't see that because it is not comfortable for them. But outside the west, that's exactly what other people in the world see.
Mandla makes a good point in the sense that the US government is far more untouchable than most others. Whether Bush should be personally be held accountable or not, we all know it will be near impossible to call him or any other US politician to order. The same goes of course for the leaders of other powerful countries like China, the UK and Russia. This is not to say that many African (and other) leaders should not be prosecuted. It is just unfortunate that the system doesn't catch ALL the bad guys.
WHAT??? Well then, "Amnesty" must pop along and collect Mugabe as well.
Give him some orange pajamas :-)
Who would you rather have as a leader? Who would you rather arrest?
Saddam Hussein, Ahmedinajad (Iran), Dullah Omar (Taliban), Mugabe, Ghadaffi, Hugo Chavez, Vladmir Putin. Or George Bush. Helloi Amnesty International, who exactly do you think you are kidding?
Depends what religion you are and what colour you are.
George Bush anyday to be arrested. Your question should be addressed to the millions of brown people around the world who have firsthand experience of US foreign policy.
Ask the Vietnamese,Nicaraguans, Cambodians, Indonesians, Chileans, Panamanians,Iranians, Palestinians, Congolese, Iraqis, Afghans, etc.
And ask the Iranian actress who was sentenced to 90 lashes with the whip for acting
All summed up by US president Roosevelt describing one of the worst Latin American dictators, Somoza of Nicaragua with the words - "Somoza may be a son of a b!tch, but he's OUR son of a bitch."
Uhm... He must mean Mullah Omar. Why am I the only one who picked up that Wormtongue just fingered Dullah Omar as a member of the Taliban?
arrest him for sure the rat. he should be taken to the hague him and that cheney. they are as bad as the ss.
and his bitch tony blair.
So concerned about indictments are the American powers-that-be that they have gone around the world using threats and bribes against countries to induce them to sign agreements pledging not to transfer to the Intl. Court US nationals accused of committing war crimes abroad. Just over 100 governments so far have succumbed to the pressure and signed an agreement.
In 2002, Congress, under the Bush administration, passed the "American Service Members Protection Act", which called for "all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any US or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by ... the International Criminal Court."
In the Netherlands it's widely and derisively known as the "Invasion of The Hague Act". The law is still on the books.
The only country that 'reportedly' made a move against Bush is Switzerland, and this made him cancel his visit there.
Your hatred of the US and admiration for the oppressive murderous arab, African and communist regimes of China and the Soviet Union, is clearly clouding your judgement and "objectivity"I have asked you several times, but do you have an opinion yet on the Iranian actress, Marzieh Vafamehr, who was sentenced to 90 lashes in Iran for acting. Or the Christian pastor who was sentenced to death for his faith?
Met, please don't criticise anyone for lack of objectivity. You are far from innocent of this yourself.
These che guevara fan boys are as thick as the earth's crust... you won't get through to them....
I bow to no one for my dislike of American Imperialism. I am an African whose history was hijacked by western Imperialist and you expect me to be ok with this. You are a fool.
What you haven't noticed as well is that your ilk have been telling brown people for centuries how to dress, eat, love, pray, etc. It has totally escaped your pea brain that as an African I have no business telling Iranians or Indians how to conduct their lives or culture.
But you on the other hand feel entitled to dictate to other people and cultures how to lead their lives. Your are continuing what your great grand parents having been doing, being overlords over other people, no suprises there, but don't expect me to accept this rubbish.
Jan- To be a left wing piece of ---, they think is fashionable and intellectual,not misguided and a useful and blinded fool, as the facts would show. Vark- your utterance does not justify a response.
I have to teach the concept of bias statements in information theory and gues what ? these kind of bloggs are so much fun to exemplify bias too teenagers!
Would that be the "teenagers" at the ANCYL ? HaHa Haha
OK Met, I will no longer comment on your peurile position. It is a complete waste of energy. I must, however compliment you on your verbal adroitness. You are very good. Not all that logical, but able to make comments that appear to be so. It is an admirable skill. You should consider a career in the ANC. Herewith I wash my lily white little hands of you.
There is nothing in your comments that warrants a serious effort to respond. Meanwhile, I advise a period of reflective silence for you.
And what of the Bantu people who hijacked the history of the Khoi San? Imperialism is about taking land and making people subserviant I believe that would make the Bantu people just as much imperialists as any western regime. Get over yourself. History has always been about people wanting what other people have and taking it by force and no race, nation, ethnic group or even religion is exempt from those sins.
Why put "torture" in quotes. He is directly responsible for serious human rights violations. The world is a worse place because of George Bush. Just look at how your personal freedom has been reigned in over the last 10 years (FICA,RICA and all sorts of silly oppressive laws) And yes, those laws came from direct pressure from the US as a result of their war on freedom, ag I mean terror.
You mean the war OF terror.
Do not allow yourself to become a useful tool(or fool) of dictatorships around the world. There are several admirers of these regimes on this blog.
@Met. Disliking George Bush and thinking that he must face trial for authorizing torture does not mean I support other oppressive regimes. But in this case the facts are clear. GW and his henchmen like Dick Cheney personally authorized torture and detention without trial for terror suspects (Of which most turned out the be innocent) I'm sure you'll change your tune if they arrest you for some arb reason and start torturing you.
Well put Stortkraan. I agree 100%. People seem unable to make that logical distinction and this leads to much unwarranted slandering. Mooi gestel.
The ex Viceroy of Britain should be charged as well.
Charge the international criminal and terrorist, Mohamedinejad, socalled "president" of Iran
for what Met?
Either your thinking is muddled or you have written this with the intention of deliberately deceiving readers.
Fact is he allowed US authorities to use torture, in moral terms it puts him in the same league as Saddam, Mad Dog Ghaddafi, Mugabe, Ahmedinajad and a host of others. They should all face justice.
Bolshie AI based in the UK trying to tell Canada what to do. This is just plain silly.
That bloody war criminal must be hanged!
I find this very amusing, but from a slightly different angle to those I see in the few comments I have checked. How naive is Amnesty International to think that there's a snowball's hope in hell of Canada doing anything which might anger the US. This can only be an exercise in due diligence knowing full well that the US will hardly turn a hair. In saying this I in no way suggest that Bush is innocent. Far from it. But I think it is just naive to think that anyone is going to be able to do anything about it.
It's the principle that matters. Bush shall as such be defined as a war criminal. When future generations study history, they will learn that next to people like Hitler and Stalin stood other scums supposedly from free and democratic countries who murdered whole villages and pillaged other countries in the name of democracy.
If there is any honesty, most of the war criminals (and common criminals) will come from Africa, arab,Eastern European, South Pacific communist states, the"utopias" of Venezuela,Cuba and other communist S and Central American states.Against these, GW, looks like a saint.These states are so filthy and corrupt, that almost any method to oppose them, to undermine them and where necessary, eliminate the criminals, is justified. And I say this knowing that GW is a member of the bohemian Society and the Scull and bones fratenity, both organizations which I despise with an intensity
Ah, western exceptionalism, why didn't I think of that!
Met.... Pfffft.
@Met...shame, must be bad to be so dumb
Spot on Bush must be held accountable, AND TO LIZZEE your parents told you to stay in school so that you could get a decent education, but you wouldn't listen would you? now see where its gotten you! The war on Iraq had nothing to do with freeing its people which hasn't been done either. You display a double standard in saying that would make me very nervous about being anywhere near you, I'm sure your friends feel the same way.
And while they're at, arrest his friends the Sauds as well.THe whole lot of tyrannical criminals!
Saudi Arabia is one of the most favoured 'democractic and human rights observing' friends of the 'free world' in the middle east. It was through Saudi Tanks killing unarmed civilians that recently Bahrain has been saved ( and the fifth fleet).
They must arrest bush yet numerous "War criminals" including our presidents are left to walk the streets and become presidents?
What about Mugabe? because he isn't incharge of America but has killed, tortured and destroyed millions of lives he is left alone to continue with his antics?
As for America killing so many people in this "war" you keep going on with. It is not America that keeps blowing people up. It is Iraq's OWN people. They have killed 100 x more than any of the Americans did.
As for their torture... will one of you that sit and complain about it please go in the place of the American soldiers that the Taliban have captured? they don't torture them for information to try stop America. THEY KILL THEM!!! on TV!!! Where their family, friends, children can see them.
If the Taliban don't like America being in Iraq then they should have thought about that before they attacked America.
If Canada arrests Bush it will be the dumbest thing they ever did. Why don't they try sorting out some of the countries where people are dying every day because of bad leadership.
Like Americans did in Iraq under the leadership of Bush
Do any of you guys remember why America decided to go to war in Iraq (the official reason I mean) that HUGE document that they brought out saying that Iraq had numerous weapons of mass destruction and were building more each day? I read that document, not ONER sentence in it was true, they never did find anything... funny how these little "facts" are just forgotten....

NEWPORT, Ore. (KOIN) — A Newport motel fire that killed 4 people in August 2016 started after a woman carelessly discarded smoking materials in her room, Newport Police Dept. revealed on Thursday.
Investigators determined the fire started in room 103, where 38-year-old Rebecca Sinclair was reportedly staying. Several people were injured, including Sinclair, who was hospitalized for burns and smoke inhalation.
After evacuating the building and putting out the flames, firefighters searched the motel and found 4 people dead in rooms 220 and 221, police confirmed.
The people killed in the fire were later identified as 51-year-old Tammi Sue Hepner and 63-year-old Allen Hepner of Portland and 60-year-old Sandra Shoemaker and 64-year-old Danny Shoemaker of Springfield.
Sinclair was identified as a person of interest in the case after investigators determined the fire started in her room. She was arrested in Washington on April 17 and later extradited to Lincoln County where she is currently jailed on $750,000 bail.
A Lincoln County Grand Jury found Sinclair's actions to be negligent and reckless.
She is facing 4 counts of manslaughter, 4 counts of criminally negligent homicide, 7 counts of recklessly endangering another person and 1 count of reckless burning.

Sports and politics certainly seem to have a strange way of intermingling. This is quite ironic to me because I've always viewed sports as an opportunity for people to put aside their differences and engage in a friendly form of competition. Unfortunately, professional athletes face an increased amount of scrutiny from the public, much of which has resulted from political statements and controversial actions.
Don't get me wrong, there are certainly instances in which professional athletes should be held to a higher standard than the rest of the public. These individuals are expected to be good role models to the kids who admire them, and they have the responsibility to conduct themselves with integrity and respect when in public. However, while there are certain actions that should be scrutinized, we have to realize that professional athletes are people and they have the right to voice their opinions.
With that said, there is a specific topic that has been trending excessively on Facebook for the past few days: Colin Kaepernick. For those who may not know, Colin Kaepernick is a quarterback for the San Francisco 49rs, and he has been facing intense criticism for refusing to stand during the national anthem at a preseason game on Friday evening. This is not the first time that a professional athlete has refused to stand for the national anthem, and I am certain that it will not be the last.
When questioned about his decision to remain seated, Kaepernick cited the oppression of black people as the primary motivating factor. Kaepernick went on record saying: "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.
Personally, I think that Kaepernick is a complete tool, and I believe that his refusal to stand reflected a desire for attention rather than a genuine desire to do good. I mean, what do you expect from someone who wears a shirt with Fidel Castro on it? However, my opinion doesn't matter in the slightest. Kaepernick has the right to have an extremely poor outlook on the American flag, and I support that right even if I strongly disagree with his attempts to justify it. Therefore, there is no need for me to further comment on the driving force behind his decision.
What bothers me most about this situation is how polarizing it has become. On social media, Kaepernick is either being condemned as a villain or hailed as a hero. In reality, he is neither of these. He is not a "godless commie", and he certainly isn't a valiant civil rights leader. He is a man who chose to exercise his 1st Amendment rights and, whether you agree with it or not, it is time to get over it.
I completely understand if you disagree with Kaepernick's actions. He disrespected those who have fought and died to protect his rights. However, his apparent sense of self-entitlement doesn't make him a villain, it just makes him ungrateful. The truth is, Kaepernick has harmed no one. The only thing he has damaged is his own public image. Although I personally disagree with his assessment, I recognize that he has the right to make whatever statement he wants, as long as he is willing to accept the potential consequences.
I've said it before, and I will say it again: The 1st Amendment was not written to protect the type of speech that everyone agrees with. On the contrary, it was written to protect the type of speech that some may find to be controversial or offensive. Yes, there are certain instances where speech must be scrutinized, but this is not one of them. Kaepernick's actions may have been offensive, but they are protected in the exact same way that Donald Trump's controversial remarks are protected.
If you support Kaepernick's actions, that's fine. You have the right to your beliefs, and there is no point in arguing about it. However, don't get it twisted. Colin Kaepernick is not a civil rights hero. He is not Rosa Parks, nor is he MLK. He is not a selfless hero, but instead, a self-entitled individual who has experienced all of the "benefits" of "white privilege". In fact, with a $25 million net worth, it appears that he is more privileged than I will ever be. If he wants to do some real good, maybe he will choose to dedicate his time and treasure towards enacting real change in the community.
Instead of focusing on real issues, we have directed our attention towards the actions of a man who is enjoying a few short moments in the spotlight. By preoccupying ourselves with his little publicity stunt, we are giving him exactly what he wants: attention. Like it or not, he is exercising his right to free speech. So let's all just leave it at that and get back to the issues that really matter.
