The end has finally arrived. After 40 years of corruption, Mexicos infamous garitas are being dismantled, thanks to new national legislation.
The garitas are secondary checkpoints, where customs officers can inspect vehicles outside an established 20-kilometer border strip, a privileged zone where taxation is lowered in order to promote and boost local economies.
Most notable of the garitas being abolished is the Caobas garita of Chetumal, in southeastern Mexico, in the state of Quintana Roo, bordering Belize and Guatemala. Here, thousands of people have been extorted for transporting alleged export merchandise without paying the established import tax fee.
Chetumal, as a border city, used to be a hub for the sale and acquisition of contraband until 1994, when the Belizean Free Zone was established. Up until the mid-1990s, the Caobas garita was literally bursting with confiscated goods, including stereos, televisions, clothing and, especially, Orient and Citizen watches, liquor, perfumes and Chinese shoes.
However, with the passing of time, the garitas acquired a reputation for being places where citizens were abused for owning certain types of goods. A person might have a Rolex around his wrist that was purchased 20 years before but if he had to cross a garita that was placed almost a hundred miles from the border, he had to produce documents proving its legal purchase, including tax documents, and he risked its confiscation by authorities. The same was true for stereos in vehicles and anything else being transported or worn, including footwear Converse sneakers and Florsheim shoes in particular.
As a result, posting to garitas became one of the most coveted government positions. The power to inspect the tens of thousands of vehicles that crossed garitas on a monthly basis became overwhelming. For travelers, regardless of where they were coming from or going to, being ordered to return or report to the closest border checkpoint to legitimize possession of goods, regardless of when or where these were acquired, was comparable to a dreadful Kafkian nightmare particularly if the checkpoints were located a hundred miles away.
Along Mexicos northern border, the most infamous checkpoints were the Puerto de Janos and Samalayuca garitas in the state of Chihuahua, and the one known as Veintiséis, or Twenty-six, for its location at kilometer 26 along Federal Highway 85 in the state of Tamaulipas, just south of Nuevo Laredo.
From a purely legal perspective, the garitas were unconstitutional. The Mexican presidency was entitled to habilitate and designate the location of border customs checkpoints within the privileged 20 km strip. However, the majority of these were located outside this area. In addition to this, they were discriminatory due to the fact that anybody in transit outside these supposed privileged areas was not subject to customs inspections.
But all of this is history now thanks to a new fiscal reform adopted by the Mexican Congress. As of now, the 11 percent taxation zones along the 20 kilometer border strips have disappeared, the entire country is subject to a new 16 per cent tax fee and the garitas are to disappear completely by 2015.

Growing up in rural east Georgia, my life revolved around two things: playing sports and going to church. My mom's daddy was a Southern Baptist pastor and my dad's family was very involved in church, too. We were at church very often – pretty much whenever the doors were open! I was active in my youth group, sang in a gospel quartet, and even preached on "Youth Sunday." But there was a problem. I was living "good ole' boy" Christianity; you know, the kind that makes Saturday night sin all right as long as you sing Sunday morning hymns.
I drank my first beer as a freshman in high school. By the time I arrived at Georgia Southern University I was primed and ready for the freedom of college life, and that meant partying. It didn't take long for my lifestyle to bring everything to a crashing halt. After a couple of run-ins with law enforcement, including a DUI, my GPA and my opportunity to play football were both wrecked. My parents' frustration with me only made the situation worse.
During the fall of my second year, my granddaddy, who was a preacher, passed away. As his "party-hardy" grandson, the last thing he told me was, "When you preach, preach Jesus!" You see, when I was 15 years old, I told him that I wanted to be a preacher like him. He never forgot it. His final words to me were the very last thing I had on my mind and heart to do. But that changed several weeks later. Early on the morning of November 28, 1983, I awoke to an overwhelming fear of dying and going to hell. Right then and there, I asked God to save me, and I knew immediately that I was being called to preach.
Shortly after, I was asked to leave Georgia Southern because of my almost non-existent GPA. I enrolled at Brewton-Parker College where I earned an associate degree in psychology. I later returned to Georgia Southern and earned a degree in public recreation. During those years, an evangelist named Michael Guido served as my mentor. We spent hours together, discussing life in ministry and studying God's Word. He taught me to think biblically and to apply Scripture practically. He never gave me quick answers, but challenged me to use the Bible and to know the Bible. He wanted me to know how to follow Jesus, not him or any other man.
It was at Georgia Southern that I met my wife, Stacey. After graduation we moved to Memphis, Tennessee, where I attended Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary and spent a year working at Bellevue Baptist Church and listening to the preaching of Adrian Rogers. Those were great foundational years for our marriage and ministry.
My life in ministry has now spanned over 30 years. In that time, I've served in youth ministry and as a senior pastor. I've also had the opportunity to do missions in Africa, India, Iraq, Argentina, Bolivia, Panama, and Mexico. I have served on committees on the associational, state, and national level of the Southern Baptist Convention and as president of the Georgia Baptist Convention (08-09). We have two grown children, Hannah, married to Mike Parker, and a son, Ivey.
I've enjoyed the privilege of knowing Bucky Kennedy for the last 30 years. He is one of God's choice servants. I have utilized Bucky in several settings in my church and he has always been a home-run. He is an excellent preacher of the Word who has a heart for Revival in this day. His messages are focused in scripture, as current as the news, powerful in delivery and anointed by God for impact. You will be uplifted as a Pastor and your people will be drawn closer to Jesus. I recommend and encourage you to utilize the ministry of Bucky Kennedy.

SHoP to give the Cleveland Cavaliers' basketball arena a huge overhaul
New York–based SHoP Architects working alongside Detroit-based stadia specialists Rossetti are to give the Quicken Loans Arena a massive makeover. The stadium, known as "The Q," has been open since 1994 and is home to the Cleveland Cavaliers. While a new arena would cost up to $750 million (according to Quicken Loans), the proposed refurbishment is set to total $140 million.
The Cavs will pay $70 million of this, plus any overrunning constructions costs. The rest will come from the City of Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, and Destination Cleveland. Work will begin next year and the stadium will remain open during this period; the Cavs will keep The Q as their home until 2034.
Despite only being 22-years-old, The Quicken Loans Arena is one of the oldest facilities in use on the National Basketball Association circuit. SHoP and Rossetti's design features a new glazed facade which stretches the stadium's footprint closer to the street edge. This fenestration reveals an undulating arrangement of what appears to be wood panels which, given their location well inside the facade and north-facing orientation, don't seem to serve any shading purpose. Aside from aesthetics, entrance and exit gangway areas will witness an increase in space, thus aiding circulation—a necessity considering The Q hosts more than 200 events every year."The $140 million transformation, half of which the Cavalier's will be paying, ensures that this public facility will remain competitive in the future," Cleveland mayor Frank Jackson said in a press release. "This investment provides an innovative solution for extending the use and impact of The Q for years and years to come without the need for a much more expensive new arena. In addition, the seven year extension of the Cavalier's lease through 2034 will represent one of the longest tenures in the same facility in all of sports." Mayor Jackson, however, appears to be forgetting the wealth of stadia (for rugby, soccer, and cricket) in Europe and Australia that have endured for well over a century. Even Fenway Park in Boston and Wrigley Field in Chicago—home to the Red Sox and Cubs baseball teams respectively, surpass 100 years. Heck, the Indians' Progressive Field—a mere 200 feet away from The Q—opened six months before its basketball counterpart (sorry Jackson). Meanwhile, NBA Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum said: "We understand the impact this project will have in continuing the great momentum we have all seen recently in the city. We look forward to holding our week of NBA All-Star events in Cleveland in the near future following the successful completion of The Q transformation project."
Come rain or shine, tennis will be played at this year's U.S. Open
Spanning 236,600 feet, the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) weatherproof roof will be primarily used to cover the court during periods of rainfall. USTA Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer Gordon Smith said it "remains to be seen" if the roof will be used as a shading device, though later commented that the USTA's "overriding goal is to be an open court tournament at all times." At the unveiling, Smith and Matt Rossetti of Rossetti boasted of how the roof can open or close in under six minutes. This was put to the test only moments later with the roof being fully closed in five minutes and 22 seconds (under this author's watch). Once complete, there was a marked difference in both light and temperature. No longer necessary to squint, the PTFE significantly reduced sunlight glare while also drastically cooling the arena. The reopening however, wasn't quite as smooth. At the third time of asking after Billie Jeane-King beckoned: "Let there be light, again!" the roof finally opened in swift fashion. Smith later used this as a springboard to inform the audience of how the sensory components of the roof require perfect alignment for the structure to move along the track beds that are in place. Courtesy of the engineers on hand, the delay was only a mere ten minutes and Smith was quick to say that the situation of opening and closing in such a quick manner is unlikely to occur - if at all. It's worth noting that the Arthur Ash Stadium, built in 1997, is the largest tennis arena in the world though it was never designed to have a roof of any kind placed on it. Now though, it is part of an elite group of of a handful of tennis stadia worldwide that can boast a retractable roof, third on the Grand Slam tour to the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne and Center Court at the Wimbledon Championships in London. Here, the roof takes a minimum of ten minutes to be fully deployed; conditions are ready for play around a further 20 minutes after. This added delay is mostly due to the fact that Wimbledon uses grass tennis courts in which moisture in the soil can lead to an increase in humidity when the roof is closed, making the ball behave differently. Explaining this to AN, Matt Rossetti pointed out how the U.S. Open uses a hard court system which negates this effect. Play would be able to get underway much more quickly with players barely noticing a difference. Rossetti also responded to questions from AN regarding the new problems a roof would create such as water run-off and climate control. In response to this, Rossetti identified the large metal guttering that traces the perimeter of the roofscape. 15 feet wide and four foot deep, Rossetti recalled how he reacted with shock to the design requirement. "We said no way, something's got to be wrong!" Rossetti exclaimed regarding the results of the calculations that stipulated such monumental guttering. In terms of maintaining a constant climate, Rossetti also noted the large power unit nearby which will power the the roof system as well as act as a chiller for the space. The roof isn't the only change going on at Flushing Meadows either. Part of a masterplan from Rossetti, a new Grandstand stadium has been built, replacing the old venue which was famed for its intimate environment. Rossetti iterated how this intimacy has been maintained as a key component of the new stadium's design. Sunk into the ground, the new 8,000-seat venue uses a PTFE skin to form partial bowl around the arena. Set against the edge of the nearby Flushing Meadows park, the bowl, which is perforated and broken down into segments, aims to imitate "the view through the foliage" in a similar fashion to the adjacent trees. The tectonic structure secures the 486 panels through a "cable structure with parametric geometry" while also mimicking the "branches" of the surrounding greenery. In addition to this, all the courts have seen an increase in capacity while the smaller courts have been pushed slightly south to free up circulation and facilitate the increase in visitors. Though the proposed landscaping isn't quite yet all in place, Rossetti said the esplanade to the north of the grand stand is a "phenomenal place to be."

Consultations last on average about 15 minutes, except for ultrasound examinations.
A normal consultation involves taking a proper history, a physical examination and formulation of a working diagnosis, without or without treatment or councelling.
Diagnostic services follow a consultative process. It may be necessary to perform some sideroom investigations, like doing the blood sugar levels, or further tests such as an x-ray examination or formal blood tests at the local laboratory.
Therapeutic services involve the further management of the patient and may involve the prescription of medication, councelling or surgical intervention, as is required by the circumstances.
Therapeutics may be preventative, curative or palliative.
Some patients require more intensive treatment that can only be offered in a hospital setting.
Our practice renders services both to inpatients and outpatients at the local private hospital Unfortunately we do not admit to or treat patients in the local public hospital.
Surgical intervention may sometimes be necessary in order to achieve the desired outcome, eg. removing the appendix (appendicectomy) in the case of acute appendicitis (inflammation of the appendix).
This practice offers a range of surgical interventions.

This interesting article from the Sacramento Bee notes that anti-Pledge of Allegiance litigant Michael Newdow and the American Law Institute both are arguing against the continued application of the "best interests of the child" test.
The article says that ALI "recommends substituting an 'approximation' test. Custody would reflect the approximate actual division of parental responsibility before a family splits apart." One expert cited in the article "suggests custody be awarded by a coin toss because 'there usually is no rational basis for preferring one parent over another.' He argues flipping a coin would be preferable to having judges evaluate parents' intrinsic worth, as under the current system. He says it also would give both parents an equal chance and reduce the harm that constant litigation does to children."
I myself have litigated exactly one (temporary) custody matter, and lost, and what a terrible day that was. The dispute involved what might be a common scenario - one side had money, the other side had a lifelong bond with the child. The judge, a good and fair man, sided with the money. His ruling did not make much difference in the end, the parties "worked things out" after the hearing, as there was no animosity between them, only a very genuine disagreement about what was in "the best interests of the child."

It's important to keep your nails healthy and beautiful! Here are some tips to take care of your nails:
Avoid Harmful Nail Polish
Before doing research on making my own indie polish, I was shocked to find out some of the harmful chemicals in popular nail polishes. For example, formaldehyde is a chemical used to preserve dead animals. Make sure to do your research to find out what you are putting on your nails as one bottle of nail polish can go a long way. It's worth it to spend more on a less toxic polish (such as 3-free/5-free/7-free polishes) than to spend any money on polishes with dangerous chemicals.
Base Coat
It's important to use base coat to protect your natural nails. Applying a base coat will also smooth out the ridges in your nails and create a smooth canvas for your manicure.
Use lotion, cuticle oil, or hand creams to make sure your hands and nails are moisturized. Making sure your nails are hydrated will prevent nail breakage.
Take care of your health as the conditions of your nails reflect your overall health. Make sure to drink enough water and properly balance your diet.
Your cuticles functions as a barrier to protect bacteria from entering in your body through the nails. Instead of cutting out your cuticles, you should soften them and gently push them back using a cuticle pusher.
Don't Peel Off Your Polish
While it is tempting to peel off your polish, it deals great damage to your nails by ripping off a layer of your nails. This will cause ridges or dents to appear on the surface of your nails. If you have a habit of peeling your polish or you need to peel, I would suggest using a peel off base coat.
Filing Your Nails
When filing your nails, make sure to file your nails the same direction instead changing the directions back and forth. Sawing your nails back and forth will create rough edges and weak points, increasing the chances of breakage.
Avoid Nail Hardener Products (unless you have weak/brittle nails)
While it sounds like a good idea to have strong and hard nails, this will increase the likelihood of your nails snapping. Instead, you should make sure your nails are strong but bendable using cuticle oils or hand lotions. In the case that you accidentally bang your nails on something, it will not snap a huge chunk off the tip of your nails.
Take a Break
While it's nice to have pretty colors and designs on your nails, it is essential to give your nails a break to prevent discoloring or thinning of the nails. Giving your nails fresh air will prevent further damage from the chemicals in nail products. Just make sure to keep your nails hydrated and apply a clear coat polish if necessary.
Top Coat
To make your shiny and last longer, you should use a top coat to seal up your nail art.

Project Description
We worked with a leading business SaaS provider to help them understand how to best bundle and price product features.
We interviewed business and IT decision-makers to evaluate how they traded-off subscription costs and available features. Discrete choice modeling allowed us to optimize a cost and feature set combination and to understand the extent to which new subscription levels under consideration would cannibalize sales of existing packages.
The work gave clear direction for a pricing plan that would maximize appeal to key target market segments and provided sound estimates of the revenue impact likely to result from the introduction of additional subscription packages.

The TigerTrails Jungle Lodge
Thickly clad hills form the north and western boundary of the Tiger Reserve. Half way along the western boundary of the Park, the hills contours to form the Chichghat valley where the TigerTrails Jungle Lodge is located. Ringed on three sides by the Park forest, the lodge is an extension of the Tiger reserve and is located adjacent to the Khutwanda gate, which is the entry point into the National Park.
The Khutwanda Gate is connected to the center of the park, so shorter drives to all park wildlife areas. The Lodge area is untouched by any kind of tourism or development and offers the discerning guest the guarantee of privacy as well as lovely walks and hiking trails around the lodge. While most parks have a reputation of being over-crowded with lodges, we have no neighboring resorts, villages or highways. To the south is the Irai lake, approx. 30 sq. km. and forming the south-western boundary of the Tiger Reserve.
We are a conservation focused lodge and are set in a private wildlife conservancy which is dotted with numerous perennial waterholes large and small, having machans/hides suitable for day and night wildlife photography. Since the forest starts from a few feet away, Tiger calls come creeping close. All game trails coming down from the park hills to these waterholes have 24x7 monitoring by our Trail cameras.
(The Trail Camera Gallery can be seen here.)
Rooms with view of nature and wildlife
The main water source at Chichghat is the Tadoba rivulet, which cascades down the rocky hills to the north of the valley, flows through the camp and onward to the Irai lake.
The Camp nestles in the forest along the winding banks of the Tadoba rivulet overlooking several waterholes and grasslands which are teeming with bird-life and wildlife. Our lodge list of birds stands at 162 species. One can also view Honey Badgers, Sloth Bears, Porcupines, Civet cats and a host of other nocturnal mammals from the rooms overlooking the grasslands. Click to view Camera trap images within the lodge. All rooms have views of these grasslands and waterholes and have en-suit bathrooms with hot and cold running water and flushing toilets.
All bedrooms have air conditioners and 100 percent power back up for the erratic electric supply. The lodge is a rustic yet deluxe experience.
Meals are simple home cooked Indian cuisine or a choice of continental cuisine, using freshly procured vegetables and mainly Indian slightly modified to suit all tastes. All meals, snacks, variety of teas and fresh coffee are included in price.
We offer morning and evening park safaris in jeeps to out guests, but to truly experience the central Indian forest we recommend that you leave your vehicle behind and take a walking safari with one of our experienced trackers for the true thrill of the Indian Jungle. Down on the same level as the animals you will experience the untamed beauty of the Tadoba Forest. Our walking safaris take place in the TigerTrails Estate adjacent to the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve.
Just outside the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve is a traditional tribal community called Gonds. There is a traditional Gond homestead which consists of traditional houses surrounding a cattle enclosure. We encourage clients to visit the Gond Village of Khutwanda if they are interested in tribal culture and would like to experience a way of life unchanged for centuries.
Also available are Jeep safaris, Walking Safaris, Elephant Safaris, Boat & Canoe trips, Bike tours and Cookery classes. To know more click here for safari experiences.
Please note that Chandrapur is a dry district and alcohol consumption is prohibited.


text: Just like a lot of people out here, just getting degrees by luck… or… by cheating their way through, if that was the case in colleges so accessible. I just feel like we'd have a lot of one of these. Can I have my college grads on that side and my dropouts on the other side ? 'First statement: I feared how I would be judged if I didn't go to college' Just me then, that's cool ! It was the fear of me caring about what was thought, as far as like, my peers, but then, when you start bringing your parents into it, and it's like, that's a greater fear [laughter]. But you live for your parents, it's like, yeah, you want to make them proud, so I just fear this closure between me and my parents You know. – Yeah. – 'I am Sean Fitzpatrick. I went to Columbia Chicago for not even a semester' 'And I was like : "No, you know what, let's go back to California and do music." ' I went because they wanted me to go and then… and then I said : "If you want me to make you proud, let me do this !" 'Non-agreers, come on in' I wasn't afraid that I would be judged if I didn't go to college, but I also didn't question going to college. It was just kind of the next step… and I didn't plan otherwise, so… Yeah – That path of growth seemed like it was the next step. – Yeah, and you're encouraged by your parents. – And they gave me that pathway of saying, you know, "The only way you're going to succeed is through college.", but then, as I got older, they gave me the idea : "Well, you can do whatever you want if you find your path, though you need to find your path, but if you can't you should go to college." I believe college should be free [laughter] Yeah, let's do that, right ? I had an in-state like, all of my tuition was paid for, and I still have debt ! Now I'm sitting on it, and I don't have a job. Not like a real job. – Yeah, the debt definitely racks up. It's ridiculous. That's true, but that that becomes an investment in the future so at the end of the day so you have to take that on You have your education but does your like bachelors degree get you a higher paying job Not in my experience 'I didn't even question going to college until after I had finished it who's like What do I do now and why did I even go and you know?' If everyone went to college it would become useless Just like a lot of people out here, just getting degrees by luck or Getting degrees by cheating their way through, and if that was the case and college is so accessible I just feel like we'll have a lot of Wannabes and that people who are really passionate about what they want to do or are dedicating sweat, bones and tears into what they're doing so the world would, I don't think would be a better place if everyone was this a Degree yeah (Offscreen) 'Did you just get converted?' I changed my mind yeah Yeah, I guess then you don't think of it. It's not college. You're just doing it Just think about labour workers, like people that just do manual labor You don't need a degree to do some manual labor work so if you have everyone you know sticking their heads in a book we won't have stuff being built, your house won't be built, your, Your cars won't be fixed your oil changed. You know what I'm saying like, you have to remember that in life. Especially in the world It's a balance of just people like I come from minority, underrepresented, Disenfranchised and in my college experience I, the higher I got, the less people that look like me that I saw so The more people that look like me in college would make me so happy That's what I'm saying, so like it's tremendous to see more people going to college. – But you have to realize that This is if [indistinguishable] a lot of people don't want to – Oh no no no – People don't have to, but if more people did, it would be a good thing – I just think that college education, if everyone had it, I don't think would make the degree itself useless oh [indistinguishable] No, I'm I think we were taking it off a pedestal, not making it meaningless 'I know what I want to do with my life' [laughter] I'm still figuring it out, but I'm In it right now, so I feel like I know, but there's so much more. That's getting revealed as I find out I'm currently getting a degree in psychotherapy, however I still need two or three more years to get all my hours And so I'm debating whether or not even to get my license and just be an a woman empowerment coach And I'm gonna be done with grad school. I can fully invest my, all of myself into itself it. – It took a minute I mean yeah, it was not an easy journey, and it was a lot of Investing and finding out that I was investing in the wrong things so you know – I like how you changed your mind – I had to think about it harder. I was like wait. I really don't know – I want to say that I mean I don't feel lost like I don't feel like I don't want to do I don't know what I want to do with my life I'm actively pursuing a lot of goals right now, and I don't anticipate like one goal lasting me a lifetime – Exactly like and I know all the things that I wants to do I'm just not sure which one is the like, for you guys like 'this is it', for me I was like I'm dibbling and dabbling in so many different things. I'm just like anything could be the final go I just don't know which one it is I want to perfect every craft. – I was going in school for architecture – Okay – And it was a three years in and then I got into acting and I booked the job And then I realized I was like whoa I really like doing this so dropped out of school And I decided that I'd pursue acting instead But that came later on after I did three years of college. – And I did four I had three classes before I graduated, and I just like 'I decided to leave because I felt the time for me to pursue the things I wanted to do in my life was now and college was holding me back from that' 'Education is the key to success' Mm-hmm So when I heard education and you know I didn't necessarily associate it with college I just associated with gathering all the tools and the data and the knowledge and and then Embodying that into you, but in whatever field you want to be successful in – Beautifully put – And success to doesn't just come with luck you know you have to you have to work hard at what You want to do – And what's success? – Exactly I took education as like, a college degree when you presented that question Yeah, yeah, that's why I didn't even walk up – Yeah we've got to realise that because and we got to realize like we learn Daily like every day were learning something and it's so funny But there's no book in front of us to learn those things that we learn it just so happened that We cross the right person or someone related that information to us, or you know just based off life experiences So I don't think that You're gonna be successful based on the fact that you went to school or you know you're opening up a book or something – You said daily is a learning experience every time you wake up in the morning You should be learning something new at the end of the day. That's what I feel about life – So we're actually more so on the same page Yeah, just different parts of the page, Yeah, I am on chapter one, Yeah, where you from, hahaha 'That's a wrap guys.' – Cool -Sweet.

Solgar Folate 1000mcg 60/100pcs
New! Folate (L-methylfolate, metaphone®) - 1000mcg NRV*500%
Folate, also called vitamin B9, is a nutrient that helps to produce and maintain new cells, and it's especially important during cell division . Folate is not folic acid what is technically synthetic form of folate.
It is an important nutrient for women who are pregnant, or trying to conceive. Research on women suggests that folate deficiencies may lead to an abnormal number of chromosomes in cells.
According to research, there is substantial evidence to support the role of the micronutrient folate in the maintenance of normal sperm development and maturation.
The men with a high total folate intake experienced 18–30% lower frequencies of several types of sperm aneuploidy (abnormal number of chromosomes) compared to men with lower folate intake.
Women who don't get enough folic acid in their diet are at a higher risk of having a baby with a neural tube defect.
Other possible benefits of folic acid supplementation include:
A lower the risk of congenital heart defects.
A lower risk of preterm birth and a lower risk of low-birth-weight babies.
Increased progesterone levels and a lower risk of irregular ovulation.
Serving Size: 1 Tablet
Exp: 2020 October or later.

Balance Activ Vaginal Gel
If you are trying to conceive the normal PH of vagina and health is very important.
Balance Activ Vaginal Gel (7 Single Use) Packs – Restores the pH Balance
Dual action Balance Activ™ Vaginal Gel contains lactic acid, which immediately neutralises the embarrassing odour by restoring the normal pH of the vagina. It also contains glycogen, which provides nutrients for lactic acid bacteria.
- Embarrassing Vaginal Odour?
- Abnormal Discharge?
- Discomfort?
The vagina is normally quite acidic (pH 3.8 – 4.5). Certain things can cause the acidity to be reduced (increasing the pH). This makes it hard for the healthy bacteria to survive, and encourages overgrowth of the unwanted bacteria. The main causes in younger women are:
- prolonged menstruation (your period)
- use of IntraUterine Devices (IUD's, commonly known as the coil)
- frequent douching (washing out unwanted organisms along with the normal harmless bacteria)
- perfumed intimate products
- sex without a condom (semen has a higher pH level than the vagina)
Insert the whole of the neck of the tube into the vagina, and squeeze out the contents. The tube can then be removed and disposed of. For the rapid, effective relief of embarrassing odour, abnormal discharge and discomfort use 1 tube daily for 7 days.
To maintain the natural pH balance and prevent recurrence of symptoms: Use 1-2 tubes a week. To help maintain the pH level during a course of antibiotics: Use 1 tube daily at the end of the course for 4-5 days.
Gender Maker gender prediction test
Find out if you are having a Boy or a Girl as early as 6 week of your fetal development.
To perform the gender prediction test, please collect your first morning urine sample in a clean plastic cup and let it cool down for 2-3 minutes to reach room temperature. Use the dropper (included) to collect the right amount of urine from your cup and gently squeeze your collected urine sample into a sample window on your gender prediction test. Immediate chemical reaction will occur, and the control test window will display your gender prediction results in 15 seconds. The gender prediction test result is easy to read! The control test window will change the color to either pink (Girl) or blue (Boy).
Eco-Care vaginal PH tests
By measuring the pH value just above the vaginal opening, other disturbances of the vaginal balance can easily be detected. If the woman herself, even if she is not pregnant, regularly inspects vaginal acidity using EcoCare™ ph-cotton sticks, early stage infection or vaginal milieu imbalances can be identified and specifically treated.
Product features:
- Maintain vaginal health during pregnancy and decrease the risk of premature birth
- General early detection of disturbances of the vaginal flora
- Through regular self-testing of the vaginal pH, expectant mothers can reduce this risk
- Diagnose bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis and fungal infection
Packge size: 5pcs in pack, 15pcs in pack.
We sell also individually, packed sterile without original package.

The BB-Korean Eyelashes are semi-permanent, synthetic extensions are glued one by one onto the natural lash (not the skin) by using specially formulated glue that last 2-4 weeks. Eyelash extensions originated in Korea.
Single synthetic eyelashes are applied to your own natural eyelash to achieve a beautiful full luscious and long set of lashes that are natural and you won't even know they are there.
Eyelash extensions are any number of enhancements designed to add length, thickness and fullness to natural eyelashes. They may be compared to hair extensions for one's eyelashes. They can be separated into two types: temporary and semi-permanent.
Types of lashes: Temporary false lashes are any lashes designed to be worn for a short period;
i.e. a day or less. They can be made with man-made hair, or with synthetic materials. They are not designed to be worn when showering, sleeping or swimming. They are applied with lash glue designed specifically for temporary lashes. Permanent lashes, also known as eyelash extensions, are lashes applied with a stronger adhesive. Generally, a single lash is applied to each natural lash; when applied properly, neither the extension lash nor the glue should touch the eyelid; however, slight irritation and watering of the eye may occur if the glue does come into contact with the eye.
The bond is designed to last until the lashes naturally fall out, though the extensions may fall out faster if one uses oil-based eye makeup remover or rubs eyes regularly, as oil weakens the bond between the glue and the lash.
For both types, eyelashes come in various lengths, colours and thicknesses, from natural-looking to outrageous.
The two most popular styles are doll lashes, consisting of longer lashes at the centre of the lash line, and cat-eye lashes, where the end lashes are longer to create a cat-like eye. A set of new eyelash extensions depending on the type and number of lashes used, the skill of the cosmetician and the venue where extensions are performed. It usually takes an hour to two hours to attach a full new set. An average person might have anywhere from thirty to eighty lashes per eye.
The variance in the number of lashes accounts for the difference in how long it takes to apply them.
Many eyelash extension packages come with repair options, where one can go get the fallen
extensions added within a few weeks from the initial application, at a lowered cost.
The other day, I had my virgin experience on eyelash perming with them.
I wasn't blessed with really long healthy looking lash. Most of the time I rely on mascara curler to get my lash "AWAKE". For people who might already have long lashes, but they are a little heavy that it tends to weigh down the eyes or their lashes looked rather untamed can consider Eyelash perming.
Here the ugly truth of my naked eyes.
The specialist brushes my lash and placed the lash roller on my eyelid.
She started applying some solution and let it rested awhile before removing the white roller off my eyes. Yes, it's definitely painless! I really feel safe having them to deal with my face as I knew they are really responsible and honest with the products they used for customer.
Eyelashes is super delicate, some salon I heard off actually damage their lashes at the end of the service or in the mid of curling it. When I say damage, it's literally BURNED or the lashes are sticking up together. Well I shall let the image do the talking!
So know what you pay for is to look good or to make it worst..all lies on your choices.
I trust Best Beauty. As by far, I have yet to experience any discomfort or concerns during the treatment and even after the treatment. Everything is doing fine. NOT because im blogging for them so I have to boast. The fact that if something goes wrong, I wouldn't be here advertising for them. I would be looking for them to take up responsibility and probably I'll be updating on my "recovery stages"instead.
Natural looking curled up lashes. Very tame & super neat now :D
It's an ideal alternative to visually looked like you've long lashes if you do not like the idea of having eyelash extension.

can't find a good spot for photos right now
my face isn't cooperating either.
i've worn this dress for three days in a row now...it keeps me (somewhat) awake.
saturday night i wore it to an alice in wonderland houseparty where i had to crawl through a tiny door to enter and shared knock-knock jokes with a dreadlocked tweedle dum.
i can't remember it's origin; i think it's from seattle.
i am single-handedly keeping polyester relevant. (to myself and myself alone).

On December 3, 2009 the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) notified healthcare professionals and patients taking Valporate Sodium and other related products that there have been an increased incidence of birth defects in babies born to mothers that took these drugs while pregnant.
Valproate sodium is marketed as Depacon. Dilvalproex sodium is marketed as Depakote, Depakote CP, Depakote ER. Valproic acid is marketed as Depakene and as Stavzor.
Depakote Birth Defects Update 1/24/13: A new study has determined that Depakote can cause lowered IQ's and other cognitive deficiencies in children born to mothers who take the drug during pregnancy. Specifically, the research found that babies exposed to Depakote in the womb had IQ's that were seven to 10 points lower than other children at age six, as well as reduced language skills and memory capacity. Click here to learn more.
If you or somebody you know has given birth to a child with birth defects and have taken any of the aformentioned drugs while pregnant or during the pregnancy, you should contact us immediately. You may be entitled to compensation and we can help.
What's the problem?
FDA first approved Depakene (valproic acid) in 1978 for the treatment of epilepsy. More recently, FDA approved valproate for the treatment of bipolar disorder and migraine headaches. As valproate's indications for use expand, it is critical that all health care professionals caring for women of childbearing potential and taking valproate for any indication be informed that valproate causes an increased risk of major birth defects. Awareness of the therapeutic benefits and risks of valproate and alternative therapies, as well as the risks of untreated disease, is critical for informed prescribing and counseling of all women taking valproate.
Valproate use during pregnancy increases the risk of major malformations, including neural tube defects. In the United States, about 1 in 1500 babies is born with a neural tube defect. The risk of neural tube defects is much higher in babies born to mothers treated with valproate during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, with the risk increasing to 1 in 20 babies.
Data from the NAAED Pregnancy Registry show that the rate of major malformations in babies born to women with epilepsy taking valproate (monotherapy) is almost 4 times higher than the rate of major malformations in babies born to women with epilepsy taking a different antiepileptic drug. The NAAED Registry reported a major malformation rate of 10.7% (95% C.I. 6.3% – 16.9%) in the offspring of women exposed to an average of 1,000 mg/day of valproic acid monotherapy during pregnancy (dose range 500 – 2000 mg/day). The major malformation rate among the internal comparison group of 1,048 women with epilepsy who received any other antiepileptic drug monotherapy during pregnancy was 2.9% (95% CI 2.0% to 4.1%). Sixteen major malformations occurred in the offspring of 149 women who used valproate during pregnancy, and these malformations included neural tube defects, craniofacial defects, cardiovascular malformations and malformations involving other body systems.
Types of Birth Defects
The more common types of birth defects associated with these drugs are as follows:
- neural tube defects
- craniofacial defects
- cardiovascular malformations
- and other major birth defects
List of Drugs
The following is a list of drugs linked to the increased risk of birth defects in babies born to mothers that took them during their pregnancy.
- Valporate Sodium
- Valproic Acid
- Divalproex Sodium
- Depacon
- Depakote
- Depakote CP
- Depakote ER
- Depakene
- Stavzor
Do I Have a Valproate Sodium Lawsuit?
The Product Liability Litigation Group at our law firm is an experienced team of trial lawyers that focus exclusively on the representation of plaintiffs in drug side effect lawsuits. We are currently evaluating potential Valporate Sodium birth defect claims in all 50 states.
Again, If you or somebody you know has given birth to a child with birth defects and have taken any of the aformentioned drugs while pregnant or during the pregnancy, you should contact us immediately. You may be entitled to compensation and we can help.

DID YOU EVER CONSIDER that in the 1970s and 1980s computer art was in the same position as photography was in the 19th century — not considered "fine art?" But things have changed in the 21st century — digital art and computer-generated art are accepted as fine art. Does your school teach the tools for producing digital art? Have you held any group shows?
Laurence Gartel has been a pioneer in the field of computer art. In the 1970s, he produced some of his first examples of electronic art using tools he had built and modified himself. At the age of twenty-nine he had learned 42 different electronic systems for creating art. Combining actual painting and photo-manipulation, he produced a unique art form a decade before corporate-produced software allowed the general public to emulate his technique. He started working with video synthesizers in 1976, ten years before the introduction of Paintbox, and Amiga. Gartel is unique for having entered the paintbox style of work so early, and having persisted through the evolution of this technology to the present day.
By the age of seventeen Gartel had trained himself in the skills of computer graphics. This interest led him to the Media Study/Buffalo center where he met Nam June Paik. Paik virtually invented the medium known as "video art." While Paik was concentrating on presenting things in motion, Gartel is interested in creating complex combinations of still images.
Gartel taught alternative processes at the School of Visual Arts upon earning a degree and was a founding instructor of the school's computer graphics lab in 1982. The revolutionary Commodore Computer's Amiga series was the most advanced system for graphics and video. As an Amiga guru, Gartel taught Andy Warhol how to use graphics technology. Apple Computer hired Gartel to experiment with their first color screen prototype. By 1985, Gartel's work was used to illustrate magazines, record covers, calendars, and posters. In 2004, Gartel was given a thirty-year retrospective at the Coral Springs Museum of Art in Florida. His work is represented in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Long Island Museum, Princeton Art Museum, and the Norton Simon Museum of Art. Gartel has also given workshops around the world.
For more about Gartel visit his website.
Connections Across Curriculum - Just over thirty years after Gartel started producing digital art, it is hard to imagine creating digital art from the ground up. The artroom can now be a key contributor to not only developing creative thinking skills, but also learning a number of computer systems and programs. From understanding computer basics to working with animation, the artroom is more connected to a well-rounded education than ever. Not surprisingly, there are many websites on this subject. Art Education 2.0 is a social networking site that allows educators using new technologies to connect. The blog Digital Art Education is also very informative and provides a lot of interesting links.

Pioneering Digital Artist

Hi Karl! This reminded me of a digital artist that I studied in my photo class. He is a British artist named Jeremy Webb. Some of the stuff he does reminds me of your landscape paintings because of the bright, cool range colors.ReplyDelete
Here's a link to a couple pictures:
It's also sort of interesting that my professor at Clark forbid us from using Photoshop for anything but touch-ups and light adjustment...I have seen some bad Photoshop, but I wish that we had more freedom to attempt some digital "fine art"

Tia is a 2 year old Dobermann. She was brought to us after being rescued by her owners from a puppy farm in Ireland, where she had been used as a breeding dog from a very young age.
When Tia came in for her initial consultation she had virtually no fur and very sore skin. After performing a number of tests, including skin scrapes, a diagnosis was made; Tia had demodectic mange.
Demodex is a common skin disease in dogs caused by tiny cigar shaped mites which live in the follicle of the hair and oil of the skin. It presents with small lesions over the head and body, which leaves the skin with a scaly feel and leads to loss of fur. It is an incredibly painful and very itchy condition.
Because of Tia's previously poor living conditions and inadequate general care, her immune system was weakened and her body couldn't deal with the mite. She was in a very sorry state.
Once the demodex had been diagnosed it was time to start Tia on treatment. She came in every week for a bath in a product called "Aludex", a very strong solution used to kill the demodex mite. She was bathed every week for 3 months and eventually, after all this time, she got the all clear!
Tia is much happier now her skin has settled and is enjoying life with her new owners in her new home!

Help please?
BaNaNa JoJo posted a topic in General ForumHello everyone, my name is Joaquim and I'm 19 years old. As a huge pink floyd fan I got myself over the time a few vinyl records, just for collecting them really, since I never had a turntable...( Sadly the world tends to do this thing so called evolving and these are not so popular as I believe they used to). Well this Christmas my mother fondly got me one to allow me to listen to these records as I so much desired. It was very generous of her because although surely it's price is no way near your guy's equipment I know it was not very easy for her to pay. That said you're probably guessing right that is not a high end one, I'll post a link at the end(but if I can't it's a ENCODER TURNTABLE 'MEMPHIS' (BLACK)) The problem here is, as someone who religiously dedicates a time of the day to calmly listen to .flac files on the computer I tend to be a little bit picky when it get to music. I obviously don't want to tell her "its not very good and I don't want it" but I want to make a good use of it. The reason for me coming to ask for help being how can I in any way that does not involve spending much money improve it's sound quality? I am aware that turntable put out a little bit of static noise however it feels like its a little bit too much, I am assuming its not the records, since they were never played before, nor the speakers that it has incorporated since i get a lot of static in the headphones aswell... Is there anything I can do? Do I need to be more specific in anyway? Thanks in advance I'll be waiting for a reply. Encoder Turntable 'Broadway' (Red) | Bigben EN

My travel plans for 2016!Monday, January 25, 2016
I like to live my life quite spontaneously, never really planning too far ahead or rejecting opportunities that suddenly arrive. One thing I will always plan ahead for though is travel!
2015 was relatively quiet for me; starting a new job, moving house, getting myself set up and taking the occasional domestic trip around Australia. This year I have a few international trips up my sleeve and am soooo ready to begin the research phase.
In just over 2 weeks I will be heading off to Thailand for a whole month! I will be travelling with tour company Life Before Work for the first two and a bit weeks, which will see me tackling the infamous Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan, soaking up the sun on the endless beaches from Koh Tao to Railay, and visiting an ethical elephant sanctuary in Kanchanaburi (amongst many other amazing things!). After that I plan to head off on my own up to the more cultural and nature driven regions of Northern Thailand. The 10 hour overnight train ride will give me the chance to see some of the more stunning early morning scenery on my trip up to Chiang Mai, followed by another visit to an elephant sanctuary and hopefully trekking the Golden Triangle! Stay tuned for my trip diary soon!!
Next up? I'm thinking of a fitness retreat in Bali! I am so inspired to stay fit and healthy, which sees me constantly at the gym, or outdoors climbing mountains, trekking forests or doing a beach workout. I think it is so important for us to stay fit and healthy, particularly if you enjoy an active holiday and want to make the most out of your experiences. I have some simple steps to help, just take a look at my post on Keeping Fit When on the Road. More importantly though, the new recent craze which has hit Australia are the overseas fitness retreats!
From Vanuatu to Fiji and Bali, a lot of personal trainers and health clubs offer packages to take clients overseas for a health inspired fitness retreat! The one I have my eye on involves morning yoga and pilates, cycling tours, mountain treks and spa treatments to relax those sore muscles. Plenty of time to kick back and relax or check out the sites, these retreats combine an international holiday with fitness (my dream come true personally!). If you have been on one of these fitness inspired holidays, please feel free to comment and let me know, I'd love to see how you found it!
My last international adventure for 2016 will hopefully be a week or two with some close girlfriends in Hawaii for our birthdays! An apartment overlooking the stunning white sands of Waikiki, beach time with a cocktail in hand, and plenty of adventuring to be had! I have never managed to get myself over the America, so a trip to Hawaii seems like the perfect introduction. The planning and saving for this one has just begun, so stay tuned for more! If you'd like to follow my saving tips check out my 10 Tips for Saving to Travel :)
Of course there will be plenty of local travel and "home town touristing" to keep me occupied in the meantime, but my 2016 is shaping up to be pretty exciting!!
Wish you all the very best for your 2016 of travels, feel free to comment and let me know what you will be up to! And don't forget â â â
