by Glen Depke, Traditional Naturopath
Everybody is looking for a way to understand their health on a deeper level.
I also understand that you are likely already "sick and tired" of the conventional medical concept of symptom treatment. After all, waiting for a diagnosed dis-ease state and taking prescription drugs is not what most of us are looking for anymore.
I hear this all the time from our clients, the Depke Wellness followers and from engagement online.
Don't you wish there was a way to understand your health just by looking at your body?
Well, there is!
I will provide you some examples here that can tell you quite a bit about your body today.
What I am about to provide for you is not a diagnosis but rather I will educate you on the value of Traditional Chinese Medicine assessment tools known as fingernail and tongue assessment. This is used to provide you a "clue" as to the direction your body is heading.
Understanding this provides a direction to create a proactive and preventive strategy to reach reach your desired level of health. This may be tied into:
- Your energy levels
- Moods
- Mental focus
- Weight
- Menopause
- Infertility
- Metabolism
- Cold hands and feet
- Energy highs and lows
- Bloating
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Pain
- Quality of sleep
Everybody wants to address these levels of health and I am sure you do too!
Here are some simple tools you can use right now.
Cherry angiomas can tell you a few different things about your body. If you have these markings on the trunk of your body, this can tell you that you are potentially challenged with liver congestion or estrogen dominance.
If liver congestion is the issue, this can lead to many issues.
- Poor detoxification
- Digestive issues such as chronic bloating
- Poor hormone conversion, especially estrogen hormones
- Poor nutrient uptake or malnutrition
If this is tied into estrogen dominance this would be a risk factor for breast cancer for both women and even men and also a risk factor for prostate cancer for men.
This estrogen dominance is typically tied into the conversion of testosterone into estrogen because of the overproduction of an enzyme called aromatase. This is most often tied into poor blood sugar regulation and high insulin.
If you happen to see these cherry angiomas near your hairline on your head, this could be a risk factor for a stroke.
I am sure you would rather know that you have a risk of stroke so you can do something about this, rather than wait until you have a stroke and the attempt to recover completely.
So just by understanding cherry angiomas, you can learn so much about your body.
But there's more…
There are a couple of signs on this tongue will provide deep insight for you also.
The cracks in the middle of the tongue are likely tied into a deeper digestive issue. This could be food sensitivity, gut infections such as parasite, bad bacteria among other infections and this could also tie into the long term affect of stress on digestion.
The teeth marks on the outside of the tongue can show potential insulin resistance or if these indentations were deeper, this could be a kidney issue also.
Dr. Tsu-Tsair Chi is coming to our office
Dr. Chi is the world renowned leader in fingernail and tongue assessment and he is providing these assessment at an agreed special discount for Depke Wellness clients and followers. This can be done live or at a distance.
Click here to learn more
You want more, don't you.
This white fleck on the nail can mean a few different things also. This could be due to any mineral deficiency and/or this could also tie into estrogen dominance also.
There is one more that is so important to show you.
This picture shows the half moon at the base of the nail. You would like to see one of these on each thumb, the next three nails and none on the pinky finger.
If you are missing any moons, this can be due to poor peripheral circulation. This would affect the body's ability to push blood to the small capillaries in the extremities of the body. Many people will notice this as cold hands or feet or even numbness or tingling in the hands or feet.
Think about the other extreme of your body though, which is your brain.
This could also be affecting your ability to get blood to the extreme areas of your brain, thus restricting oxygen and nutrients to your brain. If this sounds like a bad idea, you are correct.
If you are missing all your "moons" this could also be a risk factor for cancer in your future.
I know you would rather know this years in advance rather than after a diagnosis of cancer, wouldn't you.
These are just some examples of what your body can tell you about potential challenges you are facing or may face in the future.
I have been using this tool in my practice since 2001 and this has been invaluable for thousands of clients over the years.
I trust that this provides some value for you also!
Dr. Tsu-Tsair Chi is the world's leading expert in fingernail and tongue assessment and I am excited to share that he is presenting a live lecture for the Depke Wellness clients and followers on Thursday 05/05 at 6:30PM in Costa Mesa, CA.

Is the writing on the wall for the future of commercial mixers for home use?
I got to look at one of the new Hobart Legacy 20 quart mixers. I think the older "classic" series will become very sought after by home and semi-professional bakers. since they are "old technology". It's sort of like the older cars that did not have the computers, the complex electrical systems, and most technically advanced new materials like plastics, and carbon fiber etc. The Classics are made of Cast Iron, Machined steel castings, and hardened steel gears and shafts.. and are relatively simple mechanical systems.. Three speed.. not an electronically controlled , variable speed, circuit-board controlled this or that...
Modern materials and technology are nice but they can require more technical knowledge and skill to maintain. They have nice features, but I think for the home or small business bakers, the classics will be the only ones that can be maintained and repaired "at home" at a reasonable price. There will be a time when parts are not available through Hobart, but there will be used parts as we see now and aftermarket companies will meet demands.
Does anybody else get this sense too?
Long Live the Classics!!

Oxford Street residents must leave their homes once again this morning after being allowed to spend the night in their own beds.
More than 40 people were ordered to leave their homes by police, who sealed off Oxford Street and part of Cambridge Street as the operation unfolded.
Officers have now told Oxford Street and some Cambridge Street residents that they are able to return home for the night - but must leave again by 8am this morning.
Police advised residents to go to Bridlington Spa, where they received free food and drink.
A 54-year-old man who lives on the street has been arrested and remains in police custody.
The arrested man had described himself as a "chemical enthusiast" on a website.
A police spokesman said: "A multi-agency gold command group of key emergency services has reviewed the situation ongoing in Oxford Street, Bridlington.
"On the advice from relevant experts and after a carefully considered risk assessment, a cordon imposed today is suspended overnight."
Specialist scientists working at the scene have advised police it is safe for residents to return overnight.
In a message to residents, Humberside Police added: "Scientists will need to continue on Friday, 5 August. This is because there is a risk to your safety while they are actively working in the house.
"As a precaution it will be necessary for us to evacuate houses and prevent access again tomorrow. We are striving to allow all residents to get back to normality as soon as possible.
"Whilst it is difficult to give a specific time when activity will be finished, we will aim for 8pm tomorrow evening.
"We must stress to you that we don't underestimate the impact of asking people to leave their homes. We would like to reassure you that public safety is our number one concern and it is a necessary decision. The response from the public has been really positive and we'd like to thank you for your cooperation and continued support, and apologise for all the inconvenience caused."
Speaking at Bridlington Spa, resident Carol Small, 61, said: "It's chaos. It's not every day you get someone arrested for having something in their house."
Another Oxford Street resident, who did not want to be named, added: "Initially my wife phoned me to say they were at the entrance to the man's house with a battering ram.
"They didn't use it in the end and had quite a quiet entry.
"A few minutes later I saw him handcuffed, coming out of his house. "Then we saw the Scene Of Crime Officers go in and that's pretty much it."
They have since praised Spa staff for providing them with free food, drinks and entertainment.
A number of businesses within the police cordon were forced to close, including the Telegraph Pub on Quay Road and takeaway Tower Pizza.
Affected residents with specific concerns and queries are advised to call the East Riding of Yorkshire helpline on 01482 393939.
If you require essential medication please call 111.

Peace Corps Kenya - Lisa was in the Peace Corps and lived in Kenya from 1995-1997
Peace Corps Kenya - Lisa was in the Peace Corps and lived in Kenya from 1995-1997
Peace Corps Kenya
Lisa was in the Peace Corps and lived in Kenya from 1995-1997. Dave joined her in 1997 for a few months. These are some highlights.
Sitting on my front patio with (from left) Eva, small Lisa and Colins, some of my neighbors' children. They were frequent visitors to my house and always entertaining.
This is Colins & Lisa now (1999). Aren't they cute??
That's my humble house on the compound of my school, Gathungururu Girls' Secondary School. I know it looks like a prison, but it is only because the windows are all on the back. There are two rooms--the bedroom, and the all-purpose "other" room. Hand washed laundry is drying on the line, and the "bathroom" is that metal structure behind the clothesline.
My school was near Mount Kenya, seen here in a remarkable picture taken from the window of a moving matatu, Kenya's ridiculously crowded public transport vehicles.
That's my friend Erin and her sister from the house where she lived during our training. They're making chapati, a yummy fried bread, cooking it over a flame, as many Kenyans do.
The fabulous five, on our swearing in day, when we became official PCVs after 3 months of training. (L to R) Erin, me, Sara, Gretta, Mary Anne. Probably the cleanest we were in the whole two years.
Mary Anne and I met these Masai girls (who were all pregnant and wondered why we weren't) in Naivasha. The one next to me was quite jealous of my hair.
Bob Braganza, our mack daddy admin officer, and his harem, at the annual 4th of July bash thrown by the Embassy in Nairobi. We found it to be a time of other Americans in the country celebrating the fact that they made a whole whole lot more money than we volunteers did (they would bring Tupperware and stuff to sell for as much as we made in weeks).
The students in Kenya are extremely hard working, despite a severe lack of resources. They share books, pencils, desks, everything. They are incredibly sweet and loving, and this was my favorite class--Form 2 (10th grade).
Dave and I had a tough time with water during the drought which hit in January of 1997. The shortage was so severe that our students had to miss class to walk to a nearby river to fetch bath water. Thankfully, the rains started before we ran completely out of food (but we did learn to make plain rice in almost any flavor).
The girls had many duties other than their studies at school These girls are harvesting potatoes from the school shamba (garden) to be cooked in with their meals. The building in the back is the dining hall.
These are my two best Kenyan friends. The one on the left is Ann Maina, the mother of Colins and small Lisa. The one on the right is Esther Kung'u, the most American Kenyan I met at work. Two fun and sweet gals. This picture was taken at the end of the year / farewell banquet, about a month before I left to return to America.

What is this site?
I have recently stumbled across the book A Year in the Life--Journaling for Self-Discovery by Sheila Bender. This web page will be my journal for the process that unfolds as I follow the author's suggestions. This site, at least at this time, is for my eyes only. I may publish portions of my entries on another site. But for now, this is my private little corner on the web. The page will be privatized so no one will be able to come in unless I invite them. So, if you are reading this, consider yourself lucky!

Dear SEC Commissioners,
Please do not give in to industry pressures on Section 1504 of the Dodd-Frank Act (the Cardin-Lugar Amendment) - and make sure that ALL companies are covered, every country and every project gets reported, and loopholes that would allow large sums of money to go unreported are closed.
My Comment:
Having vast resources of oil within the borders of one's country holds the potential of being a huge blessing OR a dire curse to its peoples. Most frequently the net result it becomes a curse because back-room deals between Big Oil and oligarchic leaders siphon off all profits, leaving the citizenry more destitute than if the resource didn't even exist. This need not occur--and cannot provided adequate transparency compelled by the SEC.

Dynafit TLT 6 Mountain CR Boot - Women's
Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
Similar to the TLT6 Performance boot, Dynafit's women's TLT6 Mountain CR Ski Boot lets you climb, walk, and ski all but the most demanding terrain. Compact Grilamid lower shells are compact for easy, agile walking while the cuff and spoiler are also crafted from Grilamid for lightweight freeski performance. You'll come to appreciate the all-day comfort of the Custom Ready Thermo-moldable liner's anatomic construction in the late hours of your tour while the double buckles provide a secure and quick closure.
- Mountain Gear
The women's Dynafit TLT Mountain CR W alpine touring ski boots are built for discerning female skiers seeking a lightweight boot for climbing mountains without compromising the fun of the descent.
On skis, woman move just as fast as men, and often times, faster. The Dynafit Women's TLT 6 Mountain CR Ski Boot is next in line to the TLT6 Performance Boot, and the Mountain CR is made for fast ski mountaineers, winter climbers, and adventurers on demanding ski expeditions. Like the Performance boot, the Women's Mountain boot wields hardcore power yet feels as comfy as a bedroom slipper. This, the women's version, has a slimmed down fit, a low profile liner, and a stiffer Grilamid cuff, and the bomber shell, stiff tongue, and surrounding last cower to no downhill challenge. As an added bonus, abrasion-resistant materials stand up to summit-happy use and abuse (you know what that means). A Custom Ready thermo-moldable liner provides warmth and optimal anatomic comfort, because demanding terrain means time in the boot, and time in a comfy one means the difference between reveling at the peak or wishing for home in the face of all that pristine glory. And that's a shame. Equally at home on fast, techy descents and mixed alpine climbing, the TLT6 Mountain is one of the most well-rounded and complete boots in Dynafit's AT collection.
- Backcountry.com
Features of the DynaFit Women's TLT6 Mountain CR Ski Boot Customized flex/rigidity One action for cuff opening & ski/walk mode Removable booster tongue Ultra lock strap Windproof Stow pocket Water repellent Elastic cuff
- Moosejaw
A technical boot for ladies that like technical ascents Ski mountaineers rejoice. The Dynafit TLT 6 is all about serious performance, on or off your skis. The Grilamid shell resists the coldest temperatures and stands up to the the sharpest rocks and talas fields you may find yourself hiking. Inside the shell is a heat moldable liner that makes these boots feel like slippers without providing too much insulation that can lead to sweaty feet at the top of a route. A destructured flex zone in the liner allows you to take full advantage of the shell's 60 degrees of cuff rotation. Getting really technical? No problem. A short sole allows for perfect crampon fit. For those who are taking an equally technical route downhill, the TLT 6 has you covered. Flex can be adjusted using different tongues; choose black for very stiff, colored for medium stiffness, or remove the tongue all together for a soft flex. Don't let the number of buckles fool you, the TLT 6 is a very capable performer on the downhill with plenty of stiffness for control and precision. Features & Benefits a 101mm last. a Dynafit Claw rockered Sole. a Pebax, and grilamid construction. a Thermo-moldable liner with flex zone for easy touring. a Removable and interchangeable tongues. a Dynafit walk-mode cuff buckle. a 15 to 18 degree adjustable forward lean.

Joan Miró i Ferrà (April 20, 1893 – December 25, 1983; was a Spanish Catalan painter, sculptor, and ceramist born in Barcelona.
The collages, sculptures, tapestries and abstract paintings created by Joan Miró were bright, fantastical and reminiscent of cave paintings. Miró is closely associated with both Barcelona and Paris: he was raised in Barcelona and moved to Paris in 1920, where he became acquainted with other young artists and writers, including Pablo Picasso, Ezra Pound and Ernest Hemingway (who bought Miró's painting The Farm in 1923). Miró's first solo exhibit in Paris was in 1925, and by 1930 he was being exhibited in the United States. From then on he worked on paintings, collages, tapestries and ceramic and bronze sculptures. His bold reds, blues and yellows and simple shapes make his work instantly recognizable, and his monumental, abstract sculptures are landmarks in Paris, Chicago, New York and Barcelona.

The exhilarating Chinese dance drama Confucius has captivated audiences at the Lincoln Center in New York City.
Directed and choreographed by the direct 77th-generation descendant of the philosopher himself, Kong Dexin, and performers from the China National Opera and Dance Drama Theater, the beautifully integrated combination of dance, culture and drama tells the life story of the legendary philosopher.
"I think this is the most beautiful, elegant ballet I've ever seen. The colors, and the voices, and the movement of dancers were amazing," said a spectator following a performance in the US city.

This Woman Drank Honey And Lemon Water Every Day For A Full Year, Here's What Happened
May 30, 2017 | Health | No Comments|
Lemon juice contains a very high amount of vitamin C, which also promotes healing and strengthens the immune system. Together these two are excellent at fighting the common cold, but there is speculation that they can do even more.
This woman from Australia, Crystal Davis, made a decision to test this theory and started drinking honey-lemon water each day for a whole year.
She discovered many improvements during the experiment and continued consuming it permanently. This is what she discovered.
- A stronger immune system – For the entire year, Crystal Davis, did not catch a single flu, cold, or stomach-related illness, whereas the rest of her family caught several.
- Increased energy – she no longer needed coffee to function in the morning and had more energy during the day.
- No UTIs – Acting as a natural diuretic, the lemon-honey water eliminated Davis' Urinary Tract Infections.
- Weight loss. The lemons help the liver produce more bile, which helps the body break down food so the nutrients can be absorbed more easily. The honey helps the stomach produce more mucus to flush out toxins. The lemons and the honey work together to help the body reach a healthy weight.
- Glowing skin – The honey increases collagen and the lemons purify the blood, which results in healthy and glowing skin.
- Hydrated lymphatic system – Drinking lemon-honey water in the morning helps hydrate the lymphatic system, thereby preventing various illnesses caused by a dehydrated lymphatic system.
- Improved oral health – The lemons are efficient in cleaning out the mouth and activating the salivary glands. This eliminates bacteria from the teeth, whereas the honey helps destroy it, leading to better breath and improved oral health.
- Increased alkalinity – The lemons neutralize the acid in the body to reduce acid reflux, acidosis, upset stomach, and other acid related side effects. Individuals with chronic illnesses related to stomach acid should consult their doctors before following in Davis' footsteps.

return after years only the street corner in the same place —Magdalena Banaszkiewicz
return after years only the street corner in the same place —Magdalena Banaszkiewicz
A marvellous spot on haiku that's pretty much a universal observation for many of us in the West. Especially in England where so many towns seem to be turning into just a shopping mall.
Gratulacje raz jeszcze, Jasna. Świetne haiku :)
home again
all the rooms
And I'd keep an eye on that street corner.
Very sharp.
Beautiful and meaningful haiku.
Congrats :-)
Really good one. Thanks!
I live in Portland Oregon (in the USA) and I have to tell you that I find this haiku to be very fitting where I live. It amazes me how universal some things are - and the pain of progress and growth (not always in a positive way) definitely seems universal. It is quite wonderful how one simple haiku can extend across the world and brighten someone's day! Bravo to you!
First time I replied to tiny words.
Liked your piece.
from hamtramck, michigan.
so good to see poland representedin the haiku world.
You obviously have hit an international nerve. Progress all over the world is a mixed bag. Pray that the good is stronger than the bad.
Bill Kenney, I love the humor in your response even though the situation isn't humorous. Maybe we should have marathons to raise money to save "corners".
This really hit home for me...
very nice!
Your haiku really resonates! It goes straight to a heart-felt experience of my own. It's one of those you read and think, "I wish I'd written that." :)
magdalena, this moment, one truly for the ages; too often, everything has been forsaken, and only our memories are left in tact.
the price of progress--
years absent--
even the rains abandoned
the rose
Sad, but oh so true. Economically stated. Brava.Thank you Magdalena! Michele

The Australian Government is funding science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects in schools, so young people are equipped with skills for the future.
But how do you develop a sense of wonder in children so they become open to the innovative new worlds of STEM subjects?
Topics such as the stars, space travel and extreme weather have always been of fascination to children, so STARLAB Victoria's Mobile Dome Experience can help young Australians engage with the world of science enjoyably and economically.
Our inflatable planetarium domes are able to seat 30 (standard dome) to 60 (giant dome) students per session. They are safe and enjoyable, and help schools avoid the transport costs, fuss and expense of excursions, providing school incursions instead.
Since 1994, STARLAB Victoria has presented to approximately 750,000 children in our portable domes throughout country and city Victoria.

I did blog a bit...

"If Jobs had not changed the context from the iPhone 4 in particular to all smartphones in general, I could make you a hilarious comic strip about a product so poorly made that it won't work if it comes in contact with a human hand. But as soon as the context is changed to "all smartphones have problems," the humor opportunity is gone. Nothing kills humor like a general and boring truth."

Leigh Centurions Reserves 38 Sheffield Eagles Reserves 16
The BBC cameras were on hand to catch the best of the action as the Tongan connection of Jack Hansen and Elliot Liku both played big parts in another fine win for the Reserves under the Leigh East floodlights.
Leigh Centurions reached the end of April with both their first team and reserves team boasting 100 percent records, a feat unequalled elsewhere in the Rugby League this year.
Paul Anderson's side produced a superb second half performance to run away with this entertaining game after only taking the lead for the first time on the hour-mark. They scored 28 points without reply to recover from trailing 10-16 just after half-time.
Filming for the mini documentary series on the club being shown on BBC North West Tonight throughout the season, presenter Richard Askam interviewed Fuifui Moimoi, Lee and Jack Hansen and Tau and Elliot Liku as he investigated the club's Tongan links that go back 25 years.
And he saw for himself that the future is in safe hands as Hansen junior continued his fine start to the season with two tries while captain Liku junior again led from the front in the pack.
In a re-run of last year's thrilling grand final, which the Eagles lost in the dying seconds, the visitors held the lead three times with prop Jack Blagborough blasting his way over from close range, Matteo Zaffino capitalising on a mistake to score an opportunist try and then speedy winger Ryan Millar racing 80 metres for a spectacular try early in the second half.
The Centurions stayed in touch with Hansen cutting over from Joe Prior's smart pass and Prior then finishing well from Tom Roughley's fine offload and levelled the scores at 16-16 when Hansen grabbed his second from Lewis Foster's astute kick.
Powerful prop Tommy Holland scattered the Eagles defence to drive his way over for the game-changing try midway through the second half. And after getting their noses in front the Centurions finished with a flourish.
Sam Baggaley got on the end of an Eze Harper break to score stylishly and put daylight between the teams and Mitchell Cox and Foster added further tries as the Centurions dominated the last quarter to make it three wins from three in the Reserves Championship, Leighton Ratchford finishing with five goals.
Centurions Reserves: Jack Hansen (2 tries); Leighton Ratchford (5 goals), Mitchell Cox (try), Eze Harper, Sam Baggaley (try); Lewis Foster (try), Joe Prior (try); Tommy Holland (try), Brad Smith, Elliot Liku, Sam Peet, Jamie Tracey, Luke Warburton. Subs: Ethan Jukes, Steve Maden, Tom Roughley, Frankie Halton.

|Ed Miliband proposed rewards for grafters in business and not 'predators'. Photograph: Jonathan Hordle / Rex Features
Whether you think the Labour Party leader Ed Miliband, did a good job in delivering his speech yesterday to conference or not, his comments about good and bad business have sparked serious debate.
In the past, I have been worried when I hear spokespeople in our movement talk about the revolution that social enterprise represents in business practices and how casino capitalism has heard its death knell because I think that is wishful thinking and shows a detachment from the real climate of British business.
We do not have all the answers but social enterprises do have inspirational models that challenge the idea that profit is greed. And while I don't think the bulk of business leaders in the UK are looking to change their ownership models to enter the slipstream of ethical business, I do think they feel the pressure to be more accountable for how they make money as well as how they spend company profits. Good businesses are those who are careful producers who don't pollute the environment or over-extend their borrowing, but who do employ as many people as they can and invest even a fraction of their profits in acts of charity. While those that borrow against inflated assets, cut staff in favour of quick profit and make no attempt to minimise their environmental impact are the bad ones. Trying to tease out how you could tax these differing approaches is a waste of time, because no-one is ever going to do it, but if you take a step back from some of today's noise around taxing unethical behaviour and look at these ideas, you start to see, I think, what Ed was getting at.
The eminent economist, Will Hutton has been saying some critical things lately and we ignore them at our peril. He has been defending the Euro and its role in what he believes is the front line protecting sterling. Hutton says that without the Euro, each European currency would have come under attack, like a fox in the hen coup, from the uncontrolled financial markets that would have picked off currencies one by one, and if the Euro falls, they may do so yet. Even though there would be little sense to this annihilation, just as foxes will kill every chicken in the coup, we must understand it is just what they do if we let them. Hutton says governments have to recognise this behaviour and act to prevent it. This is bad business and we need to protect ourselves against it before all growth drains from society.
Ed is saying the same thing: that trusting the markets has led us to a very dangerous place and if we are to return to safer ground, we must try a new path. There have to be regulated financial markets, separated banks and significant investment to get people working, producing, saving and spending. If banks are lending, business can afford to hire more people and those who do that will contribute to the public coffers in a way that bank bonuses never will. Hutton, in his Guardian article "Our financial system has become a madhouse we need radical change" quotes and agrees with George Magnus, a senior policy adviser to investment bank UBS, when he says "No major advanced economy is doing anything to promote growth and jobs." My members are dying for lack of cash and their closure means not only increased unemployment but importantly job losses in already deprived communities.
Social enterprises try to scale the north face of business, which makes them heroic. They do the impossible and with trail blazers like Divine chocolate causing a stir in the chocolate world, they can change behaviour in even the most established markets because ethical sells. Since Divine entered the chocolate market with its story of farmer co-operatives and fair trade, suddenly all the big companies are offering fair trade products, more producers in the developing world are getting a living wage than ever before, and I can start eating Maltesers again (Mars estimates that by going Fairtrade they will boost sales by 10%).
This is how social enterprise activity changes the way markets operate and frankly we could all do with more of that. We just need those lovely banks to start lending us the money to do it with, which they will if Government makes them carry more capital, lend more to SMEs and works with the rest of the world to sort out the Euro crisis so we can all start to sleep at night. Then and only then can good businesses get on with making work and wealth creation Britain's big story.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Cars and Transportation' started by Kofi, Nov 6, 2014.
I don't know how they can do this safely.
They describe it as being a coil based system that's controlling whether the spark fires (though they didn't go into details) - it seems to me like you'd have to make the decision on each cylinder when before you inject fuel, and ideally control the valves so you don't pump air down the exhaust and screw up the oxygen sensor control loop.
I think you could do it fairly easily on a modern common rail diesel engine, but I'm having trouble seeing how they'd make it work on a conventional gas motor.
Of course, a smaller engine in a hybrid powertrain or an electric car continues to be a better answer.

One in Christ Jesus, engaged in God's mission, empowered by the Spirit.
Sarah Larkin writes:
In Hebrew the word 'psalm' means 'praises'. The Greek Psalmoi can mean 'songs sung to a harp'. It is striking to me that every human experience seems to be conveyed in these 150 songs – especially sorrow and pain, as well as thanksgiving and praise.
The Christian monk John Cassian (360-435) taught that the Psalms were a gateway to a form of prayer where the soul pours itself out to God. He said of the Psalms:
The Psalms are our own. If we penetrate deeply into the thinking of the Psalms, we will then sing them as if we ourselves had written them - our own private prayer uttered from the depths of our heart.
Psalms evoke memories. The sacred words stir memories within us, remembrances of the daily trials, the costs of our negligence or the profits of our zeal, the good things of providence and the deceits of the enemy.
The Psalms mirror our lives. The Psalms are not like things we have to remember but, rather, things brought to birth in the depths of our hearts. We enter into their meaning because of what we ourselves have experienced. We see our own lives mirrored in them.
As a poet and facilitator of the creative process in others, I have developed a way to help people internalise the Psalms. Psalm Readings simply turn Psalms into questions – by answering the questions, you can write your own psalm. For example this is what Psalm 131 looks when turned into questions (the psalmists 'answers' are in brackets):
What is my heart not? (My heart is not proud)
What are my eyes not? (My eyes are not haughty)
What do I not do? (Involve myself in great matters or in things too difficult for me)
What do I do with my soul? (I have composed and quieted my soul)
What is my soul like? (Like a weaned child rests against his mother, my soul is like a weaned child within me)
What does that cause me to do? (Hope in the Lord from this time forth and forever more)
What an interesting way to identity where you are on your spiritual journey. Here is an example of a contemporary response to Psalm 131:
My heart is not divided
My eyes are not veiled
I do not spend myself on the what does not satisfy
Held in the arms of night I have listened to my soul whispering to me
Taken aside, my soul is like a wise friend within me
I stand up straight, raise my hands and worship God
I will never forget the answer of one troubled young man to the question what is my soul like? He said, "My soul is like a blackened fig swinging on the branches of a tree". I always say to people that the main thing when writing anything is not - is it any good? But rather is it truthful?
It is also the case that every Psalm turns into different questions, and you answer the questions on different days and get different answers. So, by reading the Psalms today, we connect with God's people throughout the ages, and see our own lives mirrored in the lament, thanksgiving and praise of life. Why not have a go at writing your own version of Psalm 131? Don't think too much about your answers – go with what comes to you first and see what flows. You may be surprised by what emerges into the light of day.
Sarah Larkin (née Fordham) is a poet with three books published – Psalm Readings (2005), The Cool of the Day (2009) and Love's First Look (2010). In 2015 she was the poet in residence for the CTE Forum..

Citation: Mohamed, A., Biresaw, G., Finkenstadt, V.L. 2007. Thermal properties of poly (lactic acid) based bio-composites. Adhesion Society. p. 495-497.
Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: The degree of compatibility between polylactic acid (PLA) and different bio-fillers was examined using thermal methods. The biofillers were fibers extracted from cuphea and lesquerella seeds. Cuphea and lasquerella are non-commercial seed crops. Bio-composites with PLA:Fiber ratios of 85:15, 70:30 and 100:00 were blended by extrusion and then injection molded. Thermal properties of the extruded (EX) and the extruded-injection molded (EXIM) composites were examined using DSC and TGA. DSC was used to measure glass transition (Tg) and delta Cp properties. TGA was used to measure thermal decomposition profiles. The effect of fiber property, fiber composition, processing conditions, and ageing on the thermal properties of the biocomposites was used to examine the relative compatibility of the fibers with PLA. The results were compared with those predicted using interfacial methods.

A series of lighthearted essays exploring how holidays reflect our economic system and society.
Ulbrich (Economics/Clemson Univ., Public Finance in Theory and Practice, 2011, etc.) acknowledges a lifelong fascination with holidays, noting that her given name, Holley, derives from a Celtic goddess, Mother Holle, who left gifts for good people and lumps of coal for those less virtuous. The author uses the term "holiday" in its broadest sense; few people consider Income Tax Day (April 15) or the solstices and equinoxes as true holidays, but she includes them among 28 observances to help explain economic theories to lay readers. Along the way, she connects economic behavior with nature, society and psychology. Ulbrich has unearthed obscure facts about the origins and histories of many holidays, so even readers well-versed in economics are likely to learn something new. Chapter headings such as "Valentine's Day: Heartless Capitalism" and "National Volunteer Day: Working for Nothing" give a sense of the sometimes-playful approach she employs to humanize the "dismal science." She uses Labor Day to focus on wages, Columbus Day to discuss immigration, Halloween to ponder risk-taking, Mother's Day to salute working moms and Grandparent's Day to examine Social Security. Even in "August—The Month with No Holidays," she manages to find a credible topic: vacations. Along with her doctorate in economics, Ulbrich also holds a master's degree in theological studies—an interest which becomes clearer as she traces the rise of behavioral and neoinstitutional economic models, which take into account cooperation, altruism and other behaviors. The author introduces arcane terms such as "opportunity cost," "path-dependent state" and "tax expenditures" so smoothly that they go down like warm apple cider at a fall festival. Readers looking for meatier economic discussions may want to search elsewhere, but as a starter course, this book of bite-size treats satisfies.
An excellent, easy-to-read introduction to modern economic thinking.

Somewhere about the beginning of July I got an email that MonaVie was going to enter a team in to the ULCER this year. Since I've been wanting to get into biking I signed up thinking that this would be a good way to get in. Turns out I was right.
I'm on the back row there. Toward right.
I finished in 9:56:10. Not the fastest time. In fact only 6 people crossed the finish line behind me before they shut down the time tracking for the day. But I finished. That was the goal. Next year we'll worry about getting a decent time. And next year I'll actually get more than 160 miles of training before the race.
1 down, 99 to go.

The human jejunum has an endogenous microbiota that differs from those in the oral cavity and colon
The human jejunum has an endogenous microbiota that differs from those in the oral cavity and colon - Download this document for free, or read online. Document in PDF available to download.
BMC Microbiology
, 17:160
Applied microbiology
BackgroundThe upper half of the human small intestine, known as the jejunum, is the primary site for absorption of nutrient-derived carbohydrates, amino acids, small peptides, and vitamins. In contrast to the colon, which contains 10–10 colony forming units of bacteria per ml CFU-ml, the normal jejunum generally ranges from 10 to 10 CFU per ml. Because invasive procedures are required to access the jejunum, much less is known about its bacterial microbiota. Bacteria inhabiting the jejunal lumen have been investigated by classical culture techniques, but not by culture-independent metagenomics.
ResultsThe lumen of the upper jejunum was sampled during enteroscopy of 20 research subjects. Culture on aerobic and anaerobic media gave live bacterial counts ranging from 5.8 × 10 CFU-ml to 8.0 × 10 CFU-ml. DNA from the same samples was analyzed by 16S rRNA gene-specific quantitative PCR, yielding values from 1.5 × 10 to 3.1 × 10 bacterial genomes per ml. When calculated for each sample, estimated bacterial viability ranged from effectively 100% to a low of 0.3%. 16S rRNA metagenomic analysis of uncultured bacteria by Illumina MiSeq sequencing gave detailed microbial composition by phylum, genus and species. The genera Streptococcus, Prevotella, Veillonella and Fusobacterium, were especially abundant, as well as non-oral genera including Escherichia, Klebsiella, and Citrobacter. The jejunum was devoid of the genera Alistipes, Ruminococcus, Faecalibacterium, and other extreme anaerobes abundant in the colon. In patients with higher bacterial loads, there was no significant change in microbial species composition.
ConclusionsThe jejunal lumen contains a distinctive bacterial population consisting primarily of facultative anaerobes and oxygen-tolerant obligate anaerobes similar to those found in the oral cavity. However, the frequent abundance of Enterobacteriaceae represents a major difference from oral microbiota. Although a few genera are shared with the colon, we found no evidence for retrograde movement of the most abundant colonic microbes to the jejunum. Some individuals had much higher bacterial loads, but this was not correlated with decreases in bacterial species diversity or other evidence of dysbiosis.

Technology, software and speed have shaped the millennial generation. They have grown up with the internet and devices; their world is a fast-delivering world, so it's little surprise that they expect instant delivery when it comes to ascending the career ladder. They have learned to follow a system and get results, such as a promotion – one that's guaranteed.
How do promotion opportunities in PR and Corporate Comms look?
Industry professionals are fully aware that the more senior you get, opportunities and expectations for promotions are lessened. In a corporate PR agency, the average Account Director has seven years' experience and will have been promoted four times to make an Account Director from starting out as an Account Executive. This means being promoted every two years is very feasible in the early stage of a corporate communications career. However, there are many Account Directors with four years of experience, so they are clearly getting promoted every year.
A few tips on how to manage millennials' promotion expectations
Our Annual Salary Guide results gave us some insight into possible reasons for millennials wanting to leave their jobs. By focusing on the things that millennials really value in their career, Comms Directors can boost levels of employees' job satisfaction and retention. Our survey revealed four things that are really important to career-focused millenials:
- A crystal clear career path
- Feeling challenged
- A great company culture
- Regular pay reviews
If you have millennials looking to be promoted, leverage their desire by pushing their work production and development. Encourage their inherent drive to be promoted by clarifying the expectations you have for promotion. Then help them devise a plan to be promoted by accomplishing goals towards a promotion. This action will allow your millennial employees to have a reasonable timeline that you support. Check in on a regular basis (monthly ideally; quarterly at the very least) and give them the chance to show evidence of achievement.
Frequent pay reviews are also important. While company policies can restrict how often you hold these reviews, it is key to know if you're paying your team their market worth. Millennials are very open with each other about their salaries, bonuses and company benefits, so they will have a good understanding of their current worth.
Challenge your career-hungry millennials to improve, develop, and grow. After all, they are not getting any younger – they are quickly repopulating the managerial positions in companies, so make the most of their drive, and train them to be future leaders.
Our Salary Guide can help Communications Directors stay on top of a number of expectations that millennials bring to the table. Read more here: http://www.the-works.co.uk/salary-guide

Can I use my EZ Link card, like you said, please?
The purpose of these things is to allow passengers to pay for their taxi fare by tapping their EZ Link card (the card we use in Singapore to pay for buses and trains) on top and having the total subtracted from the balance currently on the card.
In theory, these things are awesome. They further aid to streamline the public transportation system into one system in which you use one card for payment, no matter the mode.
However, these machines are falling flat, in my opinion. In the last ten SMRT cabs I've been in, only one had the machine turned on. (The one in the picture is also not powered on. Big shocker there.) The problem with this is when it's not turned on, it takes nearly ten minutes for it to boot up, if it does at all. I've had two fail to boot up for me which caused me to have to run up to my flat while the cabbie waited outside to grab cash.
It's not a big deal, but it turns something that supposed to make life more convenient into something that's a huge pain in the tuckus. I'm guessing that that wasn't their intention here.
No one likes a pain in the tuckus.
So basically, I'm hoping that we might actually get to use and enjoy these things sometime soon.
Hello? Anyone listening at SMRT?

Same experience here. Totally useless.
I think the taxi drivers don't like them. That's why they are off. They'd prefer cash. Probably has something to do with being able to claim less income for taxes, or something.

Good point Fish. Probably helps them to report less income at the end of the night by taking cash.
It should be mandatory for those things to be on though. It should be enforced, or it's a waste of money to have them installed. Not to mention it inconveniences travelers expecting to be able to use their ez-link cards.

I don't think it's a tax issue, as the metered fares are all recorded in the system. But rather, it takes ~2 days for them to get the cash because of the processing time, and they hv to make their way down to a specific office to get the money. Cash is king to these guys who don't make a lot.
Same thing goes for nets and credit card. I once ran out of cash and had to pay by nets. The taxi driver grumbled endlessly. Until the system works better for them I do feel apologetic for not paying cash.

Hi Kate,
You might not be aware that most of these drivers do not own the cab and are literally forced to rent them from Taxi companies. The government has gradually phased out the private taxi licenses. Most of these Taxi companies are government related either via direct ownership or via proxy thru shares. The comfort Sonata cost $100/day in rental and if these drivers work 25 days in a month, they would have cough up $2500/month in rental only. If you drive, how much are you paying for your car? You get my drift? The large part of the money goes into the coffers of these companies that are protected by state legislation. Welcome to a part of SG.

hi kate,
i've got a nagging suspicion that the cab drivers dislike the system. personally, cash on the spot beats anything else. and i believe cab drivers think likewise.
issue aside, i rather not the current EZ link become into another NETS monster.
last, this situation actually reminds me of the joke in bangkok where you can flag a taxi full of the latest gadgetry (think TV) all available for your usage; only to have them tell you that the taxi meter is not working and that you have to pay a flat fee.

Hi Anon
Singapore now has 6 or 7 cab companies, of which only 2 (albeit the largest ones) are government-linked through share ownership in these public listed companies. Your point is incorrect.
I don't know how long it takes for the driver to get paid but it may be a valid point. One reason could be the charges for collecting payment by card. If the driver can avoid it then why not especially if the perceived benefits do not outweigh the cost.
- March 23, 2010 at 5:05 AM
HI Amuse,
Actually if i'm not wrong, comfort delgro runs the two. But the other cab companies are actually run on the same business model, so essentially the taxi drivers are getting a raw deal. SMRT would make a third government linked company so there's three.
I think the red cabs are hired at a lower rate, but then for the cabbies there's a high buy-in amount about 5 figures.
So yeah my little 2 cents about the plight of the Singapore driver, it's no wonder it's hard for them to give good service. They hardly make a living

I was born in 1987 in the quiet but exciting city of Zaragoza, Spain, I am the third son of a humble and hardworking family. Since I could hold a pencil color on a sheet of paper, and I filled the elegant and chaotic color combination that can be done when one is still an infant. As the years went by my love of notebooks filled with drawings it was becoming more and more obvious and these are slowly piling up in drawers throughout the house. When notebooks I were making small, was filled with drawings every book I could have at my disposal, math books, the books of Spanish language books in English, all the books in the school, they would become my canvas particular.
I got older, and I was experiencing, leaving parked that little hobby was painting for me, experience painting miniatures on a small scale, seeing what could be done in such a small size and in such detail that led me to that you can call today's obsession, to perfect to the smallest detail however small.
He kept passing the time and not at my studies led me to the path of art, but if that covers the world of photography, computer, I was adapting everything he learned to the drawings he was doing, were slowly taking more defined shape, as I started my studies in road safety.
In 2012 brushes take a more serious and more professional way, and started what you can see to this day with the support of my parents my brother and my friends.
I consider myself self-taught, since I have learned from personal experience, to try, to play, I have not studied in a prestigious and elitist art school, discovering new techniques, new ways, is a rewarding experience, and each of my work, I bring some of that self-discovery.
Today one of the techniques I most love is watercolor, mixed with graphite and ink, I do not waive any technical or painting materials, also immersed in the world of digital art, and the mix of digital and conventional paint.

DETROIT: General Motors Co told a US bankruptcy court on Wednesday that it reached a deal with an insolvent Massachusetts parts supplier whose struggles had threatened to shut down some or all of GM's North American plants.
After the hearing, GM spokesman Nick Richards said the automaker already had identified replacement suppliers for the parts and "did not anticipate any disruption" in production.
The judge in the case, heard in the US Bankruptcy Court in Worcester, Massachusetts, ruled on Wednesday that GM could retrieve tooling and finished parts from the supplier, Clark-Cutler-McDermott.
CCM, a 105-year-old supplier of acoustical materials based in Franklin, Massachusetts, was the sole supplier of insulation and other sound-deadening materials to GM, the automaker said in an earlier court filing.
GM had argued CCM's failure could cause "catastrophic disruption" across the US auto industry, costing it tens of millions of dollars in lost production and potentially throwing "tens of thousands" of employees at GM plants and other GM suppliers out of work.
CCM had been a GM supplier for nearly 50 years. GM in turn was responsible for 80 percent of CCM's business.
CCM's attorneys had argued that the company would lose $30,000 a day if forced to continue making parts for GM. GM said it had been funding CCM's losses since March.
As is typical with such contracts, CCM owned the basic machinery in its plants. But GM owned the special tooling installed in that machinery that was designed to make a variety of insulation and sound-deadening material used under carpets, behind dashboards and in wheel liners on nearly all GM vehicles made in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
The agreement reached Wednesday between GM and CCM would enable the automaker to retrieve the special tooling and all finished parts, while CCM would retain its equipment.
CCM, which last week filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, said it is seeking a "turn-key sale" to another company.
The case underscores the potential risk in the auto industry of "single sourcing" - contracting with just one supplier to provide critical parts for some or all of a manufacturer's vehicles.
US automakers have used single sourcing, along with longer contracts and common components used by more vehicles, to command more attractive prices from many suppliers.
