Getting Started
You should try to safe often. You'll never know what lies around the corner.
Always try to keep a constant supply of items. Stuff like POTIONs or Tents and REMEDYs, because most likely your magic will run dry.
You might not always have the best equipment on and sometimes the prices can get fairly steep. You should always stay near a save point or a town and wander around and fight enemies for gold, that way you won't be too far off from your resting point incase enemies give you some trouble.
Having trouble against a boss? Having the newest equipment is not always the best choice. If you are fighting against Seal(fire) and you so happen to have the FLAME sword then what good will it do you if you just keep healing him? Also some bosses might not have weaknesses and you will have to start gaining some levels before you fight the boss. Also are your rows properly straightened out? Always place fighters up front and magic users or people with low defense in the back, that way you can have more of a balanced approach when fighting against bosses or enemies.
If you can heal outside of battle, you should use your magic instead of your items. Items don't come back after use and you will need gold to buy more items. However magic can be replenished at save points, inns, or using your Ethers.
When ever you see treasure chests, try to save before you look in them or keep your party's HP up. Sometimes there are monsters inside those treasure chests that will take quite a bit of work to defeat.
Keep consideration of your magic points. Using your most powerful magic to defeat opponents is not always the best way to end the battle often you won't have enough to replenish your party's HP.
Constantly keep your party's HP up. Unless you are a 100% sure you will be able to mop the floor with your enemies then you should always keep a close eye on your HP.
Whenever you bring your party member back from a swoon status always have the next available person heal that party member because your party member's HP will not regenerate themselves and the party member only starts out with 15% of their max HP, so unless you have LIFE2 then I suggest you should always have the next available person heal the party member just back from the swoon status so you wouldn't have to risk that party member suffering a blow that would put that person back on swoon status.
You can switch weapons during battle. Just go to your Item command and scroll up and you will see the weapon or shield in your left and right hands. Hit A on the weapon you want to replace and go over the weapon in your inventory and press A. Be sure to make your decision quick otherwise an opponent can seriously damage your party members while you were looking for the best weapon, so make sure you have the most suited weapon before you enter battle.
When your selecting your magic, the Active Time Battle stops so take your time to decide which magic is best.
Also continously attack your opponent because unlike previous Final Fantasy games(FF1-3) you will be attacked even if you are not ready, so make sure you attack quickly. Incase you still need some time to think you can always hit the Start button during battle to pause the game.
Keep magic users in the magic and fighters in the front, that way your healers won't die so quickly. You can also do this during battle by hitting the control pad left on the command box, but its only for the battle. To make this permanent(or until you decide to change it again) go to your menu screen and hit change. Also you can switch the position of your characters by using the Form command on the Menu Screen.
Always check pots or other things that can carry items besides treasure chests, although most of the things you find are just Potions, you should pick them up anyways because hey, they're free!
Not Bosses in this game do not provide expierience points. So don't expect to earn expierience points by defeating bosses or expect to gain that extra level because it won't happen.
If this is your first time playing an RPG game or Final Fantasy game for that matter then I suggest you go to the Training Room in the Town of Tule to gather up information about the basics of the game. Learning the basics of the game will help you learn some of the more advance and complex features of the games and also most other RPGs.
Try to keep all weapons you find that normally are not sold at weapons shops, also armors, they can help you out in future battles or when your Bow and Arrow users run out of Bows and they need a new weapon to use in the middle of battles.
Riding Chocobos is a fun way to move across town to town, but if your riding Chocobos enemies can't attack you, so your better off that way right? Wrong. Riding Chocobos mean that you do not gain any expierience points or GOLD from the enemies you would have fought. So when your losing battles or when you do not have enough money for equipment then you will realize that riding chocobos is not a good idea, but however if you are low on life and your magic is out and your cure supplies are gone not to mention TENTs and REMEDYs then it would be a good idea to make it to the next town without fighting any random encounters.
If you haven't noticed it, your levels are divided among your party members. Sometimes it might take a long while to gain levels, but there is an easy way to gain expierience quickly. Say you have five party members in your group and Locke needs to reach level 99. First off you swoon the other three party members besides Locke. Hopefully Locke is strong enough to fight on his own, then have Locke fight any random encounters, its best if he fights opponents like the TUMBLEWEED or BRACHEOSAUR. Here just have Locke win, at first it might seem like a struggle, but Locke will gain levels 4 times faster than before because his party members' expierience points are given to Locke because his other party members did not participate in battle.
If you have two parties in low HP and your in a cave near a save point, then this is a neat trick for you to do. Have both parties stand on the same save point and use a TENT. Afterwards both your parties will be fully healed!
When you lose battles, and yes you will lose battles, make sure you go to your esper system menu and switch espers. Your summons can be used only once during the battle and it works the same way as switching weapons in your hand, just go to magic and hit the cursor up and your esper should appear.
Spears do twice as much damage than a regular attack when you attack with the JUMP command. Make sure you always jump, but be warned that it takes about 2 turns to use the JUMP command and when you need to finish off an opponent quick its not always the best thing to use.
Dash can only be used if you have gained a certain amount of levels for Thief, once you have it you can make your trip faster and random battles occur less often.
In the World of Ruin, you can bring back your swoon party member back to life without magic or inns or the use of items. Go to the Collesseum and have a swoon character fight, and if they win they will be back at full HP and MP!
NOTE: The following tip is provided by Reyno Gaspar, a very useful one might I add. "Welp, anyway, if all your people have wall/reflect/anything that reflects magic, cast an offensive spell on all four/five people. The spell will reflect off them and hit the enemy. But, there's something cool about it. Ya know how spell damage is divided when you cast a spell on multiple characters? Well, if your fighting an annoying boss or some lone enemy and cast a spell on all of your walled up characters, the divisions will actually ADD up and hurt more that it would usually hurt if you hit the enemy directly with the spell. If you're fighting an enemy with 4 people walled up and cast an offensive spell on all four walled up characters, the enemy will be hit with the spell FOUR times! Ouch! Also, if the foolish enemy casts an offensive spell, he'll hit himself! Hah! But, there are some disadvantages with it. One obvious one is that you can't use any white spells on yourself. Two, when fighting a group, this spells will bounce and hit any one of them, not directing the one spell on one guy. But, this can be useful. I remember I killed a GrandMummy (FFV 8000) and a Gargoyle (FFV 5000) with just one Fire 3 on my characters and with one Fire 3, I won! Hah!"
Finally, last but not least talk to everybody in town, you never know what you might expect. Talk to them twice if you have to, maybe something might slip from them

Oh Jiggle Bees
Jiggle Jiggle Jiggle bees. So fresh so fresh so fresh! My other mama, my mentor (she doesnt know about our relationship obviously) running for the President of the United States. She has announced, i am committed to voting this time around. At least my life is not at "rix". I am an independent but i tend to lean Democratic. When i was making small change i was Leaning Republican. This thing called life.
So why do i like/ love/borderline worship Hillary? She has composure, despite all the people who have tried to put her under the bus including her husband who was thinking with his "dee"- instead of his brain. And the Benghazi Libya brouhaha. She is a super accomplished lawyer to top it off. She is a woman that stands a chance of winning.
I will bring my commentary on the Nigerian Gubernatorial elections once the results have all been announced. Likely tomorrow.

Failure to properly manage manure and wastewater at Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) can negatively impact the environment and public health. Manure and wastewater have the potential to contribute pollutants, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, organic matter, sediments, pathogens, heavy metals, hormones, ammonia, and other possible contaminants to the environment. Some of the environmental impacts resulting from mismanagement of wastes include degrading water resources, fish kills, decomposing organic matter, toxic algal blooms, poor drinking water, and respiratory problems.
CAFOs are agricultural operations where animals are kept and raised in confined situations; these facilities generally congregate animals, feed, manure, dead animals, and production operations on a small land area. A CAFO is a lot or facility (other than an aquatic animal production facility) where the following conditions are met:
Our team can assist with permitting needs by combining conservation practices and management activities into a conservation system which, when implemented, will control soil erosion to combat any negative impact on the environment. This plan will identify potential water, soil, and air emission hazards and provide solutions for managing manure and organic by-products. Some of the most common solutions are anaerobic lagoons or alternate feed options.

About Us
Welcome to our travel blog! We intend to use this to chronicle our adventures as we hit the road in search of…well, we're not really searching for anything – we just wanna see what's out there before we get too old to do it.
Our names aren't really Thelma and Louis. In fact, we very likely wouldn't answer to those names should you happen to shout them out in a crowd.
In real life, we're a middle-aged (getting eerily close to retirement) couple who are embarking on a new phase in our lives: The Trailer Trash Phase. Because we love to travel, and because Louis (Bob) screams like a little girl on airplanes, we've bought ourselves a lovely new trailer and we're going to find out whether or not RVing is for us.
You are most welcome to come along for the ride. (Obviously I'm speaking figuratively there. If you actually show up, we'll think it's deeply weird and we'll most likely run away. Just sayin'.)
Count me in. This is amazing. We are going to have a Wheely good time. Just don't forget to pick me up.
Sould like you are having fun! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Poor, Poor, Bob!
love the blog, what did you get up to today?
You guys are truly amazing – love your blog. Dave, I have a work question for you…………when are you coming back? hehehehe
Just caught up on all your stories, that one Campground does seem a bit like a scene out of Deliverance!
You should be in noofinlund bye now,lol. Hope pur crossing was good, those Oceans are fickle.

After being a dedicated follow of the skinny jean for years, I'm going in the complete opposite direction. Once these flares are back in stock on the Topshop website I'll be snapping them up. After seeing Megan and Lizzy rock their flares I couldn't get them out of my head. I'll hopefully be wearing them with these chunky platforms from the Orla Kiely x Clarks collaboration. They aren't currently on sale but I refresh the page on a daily basis to catch the drop date. I saw them at the Orla Kiely show in September and fell in love.
I loved this paisley print swing dress from Glamorous, it would look great with the Orla Kiely platforms on a night out. Or with a pair of knee high suede boots during the day. Of course you need something with tassels and fringing to tick all those 70's boxes. This suede bag is perfect for all your essentials and will be your go to bag as a child of the 70's.

Bustin' makes me feel good
This article was written as part of the Make a Wish Week Amigathon. Donations are now being accepted to help fulfil the dying wishes of terminally ill children.
Ghost Battle is one of those games that seem to have suffered a bit of an identity crisis growing up. It can't decide if it wants to be a Shadow of the Beast, Ghosts 'n' Goblins or Green Beret homage so instead you get three very muddled platformers for the price of one.
Even before I point out that it was developed by Interactive Design and published by Thalion in 1991 you may be able to spot some stylistic correlations with Flink and Lionheart… two of the most visually enticing titles the Amiga has to offer. There's a logical explanation for that; the same coder, Erwin Kloibhofer, and graphician, Henk Nieborg, worked on all three games. Musician, Jochen 'Mad Max' Hippel, didn't, though did lend his immense and at one time prolific talent to today's spotlit title. Unfortunately he no longer composes and is thought to be working in the field of logistics for Matheis+Koebig Baustoffe, though this information is now very old and may no longer be accurate.
It's possible there may be some elaboration to the 'plot' in the manual, if only it wasn't so elusively missing in action. Until it surfaces all we have to go on is this: He-Man looky-likey and girlfriend stand in a forest awkwardly gazing at one another for no discernible reason when the clawed hand of a colossal monster reaches through a gate and snatches her from under your nose. You casually stroll through in a nonchalant, slow-motion pursuit, presumably to investigate, though maybe just to pick daisies. Who knows? She may be in danger, or this could be how she normally gets to the hairdresser's for her weekly Wednesday morning pamper session. Your guess is as good as mine.
That's it. Not entirely dissimilar to the prologue of Capcom's knight in shining armour coin-op favourite (for which you can substitute the hand for a winged demon)… or 101 other threadbare-plotted arcade games. In lieu of any useful instructions we may as well assume our objective is to track down the perpetrator, sniffing out his trail across five thematically distinct stages, each culminating with a leviathan battle of monstrous proportions. Yes, we're well and truly rooted in the era of 'big bosses are cool' territory, and fair enough, they were, and still are today. Nice to know some things never change.
Our ghoulish déjà vu daydream begins in the forest armed with an unlimited supply of rocks as our only defense against a clone army populated with man-eating Venus fly traps and 'oh, that old chestnut' zombies resurrected from beneath the earth, funnily enough swiped straight out of Capcomland. Keeping us on our toes, levitating platforms glide back and forth over watery graves daring us to try our luck.
Plugging away against the clock we descend down a Beastly well into the depths of a hostile, subterranean dungeon where we're affronted by giant arachnids of Shadow of the Beast fame, and prancing, purple-panted Slimer-ish creatures that could also pass for the Incredible Hulk if you squint a bit and use your imagination. A purple and green palette seems to be a recurring theme, planting in mind the suggestion that what we're dealing with is some kind of regal, slimy alien invasion. See what happens when you're left to fill in the blanks for yourself?; I've turned into David Icke!
As with many of the sprites in Ghost Battle the Slimer-Hulks are minimally and comically animated; their entire floaty bodies bob and twist in time to the arcade soundtrack without so much as engaging a limb, or twitching a facial feature. It's a bit like watching a dimly lit kindergarten play where all the characters are fashioned from cardboard cutouts shambled around the stage by kids wearing black camouflage to maintain the fragile illusion of sentience.
It can take an eternity to dispense with enemies accoutered with only your puny rocks, and the situation doesn't improve much when they're upgraded to throwing daggers and battle axes, or the limited supply of bombs you can find scattered about the environment. This coupled with your lethargic protagonist, and a dearth of credits or level codes makes for an acutely tedious, tricky and frustrating experience, even if there are three difficulty levels from which to choose.
Disembodied free-roaming eyeballs – again on loan from Shadow of the Beast – rotate overhead in fixed formation, while spikes thrust out of the floor to skewer you like a shish kebab. Leaping over them your arms flail upwards as though reaching for the sky as you begin your descent from the apex of a high-velocity rollercoaster. Akin to the game from which it takes its inspiration, survival is dependent on precision timing and lashings of patience. Something that isn't remotely facilitated by the awkward, stilted gait of our unnamed chum.
Aside from wrestling with his blundering locomotion, you may find yourself falling off ledges to your doom simply from rolling on the floor laughing. He's all out of proportion for a start; his arms are so long and muscley, and legs so short and weedy, you'd be forgiven for mistaking our hero of the hour for a chimp. And what on earth is going on with that climbing animation? Ascending a ladder we flamboyantly thrash out our arms and wind them back in again like a performing arts instructor overemphasising the maneuver to accommodate a slow learner. Hand him a twirling baton and he'd be in his element I'm sure!
End of level bosses take the traditional form of oversized fantasy creatures as found in the G 'n' G series, the first being a humongous vulture that half-heartedly hurls fireballs in your general direction whilst fluttering about a bit in slow-motion. Kick its feathery behind into the middle of next week and you're rewarded with a key, which can be used to open a door further down the line strangely enough. Likewise, later bosses leave behind 'metal tools' or spanners that are used in conjunction with machinery or grids to grant access to the next area.
Level 2 commences inside a vibrantly decorated castle constructed from a peculiar blend of medieval and modern architecture in which the floor is comprised of M&M's and we're set upon by an Ed Gein impersonator wielding his customary chainsaw, bedecked in a blood-splattered apron. Well, even psychopaths need to keep their clothes fresh and free from wear and tear don't they. They're no different to you and me really.
Continuing the fetching purple and green aesthetic (traditionally the hue of scientific geniuses in comic book lore), the guardian here is the grim reaper who hovers not especially menacingly with few frames of animation aside from a periodic horizontal sprite flip to give the impression he's twisting his head around.
Beneath his levitating body you'll notice an appended, floating 'hits' bar to indicate his state of health, much like your own 'life' bar that can be replenished by consuming hunks of meat ala Gauntlet, only not built into the GUI. It's literally a bar of life that you might buy in an off licence alongside a Snickers or Twix. OK, so maybe I'm the only one who found the need to label it a tad eccentric. Moving swiftly on…
With Mr Reaper nought but a pile of bones, we can seize his death gift (another key), make like a TMNT and head down to the sewer to eventually tango with a fire breathing stegosaurus. Returning to the map screen between this level and the next we're instructed to "Try to find out what it's all about". Wouldn't that be nice? Can you give us a clue Thalion?
While we wait for divine intervention we move onto the Ghosts 'n' Goblins style ice cavern level where we're introduced to the bear necessities of mortality by grizzlies with detachable heads, which continue on a set course even after their host bodies have been destroyed. Accompanying them are pogoing chaps accessorised with all-the-rage green helmets, reminiscent of the Man in the Iron Mask, only that one was more of a penitence grey.
Thalion really hit the jackpot when Jochen Hippel agreed to compose the music for Ghost Battle; this (and the luscious graphics) are where it truly excels. A number of contrasting styles swathe the action depending on the tone and tempo required. Sometimes we'll hear little other than the ambient spectral howl of icy gusts of wind, elsewhere we're intimidated by the uneasy cadence of a track evoking Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield, a haunting harmony that will forever be associated with The Exorcist. During the downtime we're treated to more meditative, melancholy numbers that invoke a sense of enigmatic wonderment coupled with an underlying apprehension of foreshadowing. Between the polemic extremes, pure, erratic, arcade pandemonium – acoustically at least – delivers an invigorating switch of pace.
Next on the boss bill is a floaty, horned skull with bulging ejector eyes that propel green plasma pulses, followed by a mongrelised elephant-overgrown-vine-plant mash-up, embellished with fiendish Beast-noggins for buds.
Back in the forest witches on broomsticks coerce you into passing through a Green Beret rip-off segment where walking dead zombie commandos lie in wait, and continue to toddle onwards despite having their torsos obliterated; a perfect time to activate those zig-zaggy magic shield protective barriers, or pull off improbable jumps using your temporary booster.
The penultimate boss baddie is a fist-slamming, springy numpty of a troll resembling Ghosts 'n' Goblins' 'unicorn' guardian somewhat.
For the final level we visit another castle, fight wizards, G 'n' G knights, and even bump into Spielberg's E.T. who is disturbingly preoccupied with throwing telephones at you, rather than using one to actually "phone home".
A meet and greet session with the purveyor of heartache himself reveals the mega Don to be an Arremer-esque, garish game-show-gunk-green flying succubus who has your incarcerated girlfriend suspended from the ceiling on a chain. Ouch! That can't be too comfortable. Even Jabba the Hut treated Princess Leia better than that.
Defeating said hellion triggers the release of the key to your betrothed's handcuffs from the chain secured to his wrist. Automatically deployed as you approach, she's disentangled and drops to the ground, somehow disappearing mid-fall.
With the crowning sortie vanquished we can celebrate by spending the rest of eternity together, forever and ever, amen, which we choose to kick-start with a leisurely spot of R 'n' R reclining on a log as we take in the scenic forest views. We never did get to find out "what it was all about" did we? Oh well, at least we weren't expected to double-complete the game to see the real, genuine finale sequence, or suffer any more dubiously translated German dialogue.

"The downers do drag Ghost Battle down and spoil the surprise of discovering such excellent timing puzzles. It is a frustratingly enjoyable experience. The frustration eventually outweighs the enjoyment, but that takes a while. It is not the best platform romp ever designed, but the evil puzzles, good pics and excitable soundtracks are far better than the box lets on."

"If you've got the patience of a saint and an unreasonable urge to own every platform game ever released, then by all means go out and buy it. But for anyone else, I get the feeling that after laying out £20 for this, ghosts won't be the only thing you'll be having nightmares about."
52% – ACE (August 1991)
Ghost Battle hardly went down in gaming history as an essential purchase being a cheap derivative pasticcio of far more solid forerunners. Whilst no parallax scrolling is evident – fairly standard by this juncture – Ghost Battle does feature some beautifully drawn, vivid backdrops with delicate artistic touches that breathe new life – at least aesthetically – into a stale genre. As long as you don't watch it running, or play it, Ghost Battle is certainly one of the Amiga's more visually opulent titles, immaculately complimented by Jochen's timeless soundtrack.
Had the controls not been so cumbersomely sludgey, and the animation so primitive, Ghost Battle may have been a worthy clone that would allow you to look beyond its copycat mentality. Yet as fate would have it, what remains is another pretty – albeit clunky – dull platformer… Lionheart junior if you will.
"Congraturation" if you have made it this far, I have clearly "caplured" your imagination. I only wish I could declare, "This story is happy end". Nonetheless, I do hope as a "wise and courageous knight" you "feel strongth welling in your body" and will carry the "mazic power" of this unique experience in your heart as a shining beacon to illuminate your future endeavours.

Moran Draws Fire With New Remark
My U.S. representative seemed like a nice guy. He (or his aides) actually responded to a letter I sent them about the RIAA unfairly shutting down Internet radio broadcasters. However, it turns out he's a Jew-hater. How about that.

Kevin Costner's oil filtration machines are ready for the big time.
After more than 20 years of development and $25 million in personal investment, the actor's oil-separation centrifuges were given the green light by BP last night.
"We were confident the technology would work, but we needed to test it at the extremes. We've done that and are excited by the results," said Doug Suttles, BP's chief operating officer. "We are very pleased with the results and today we have placed a significant order with OTS [Costner's Ocean Therapy Solutions] and will be working with them to rapidly manufacture and deploy 32 of their machines."
A previous test by the oil company failed when the machines became clogged on the clumpy, tarball viscosity of the spill. After some tweaking by Costner's Ocean Therapy Solutions, the technology is now working as intended.
"The machines are basically sophisticated centrifuge devices that can handle a huge volume of water and separate at unprecedented rates," said Ocean Therapy Solutions CEO John Houghtaling. "They were developed from older centrifuge technology. Normal centrifuge machines are very slow and sensitive to different ratios of oil to water mixtures at intake."
BP plans to take the largest version of the machines, the V20, out on barges to start sucking up and separating the oil. Up to 2,000 barrels a day can be cleaned by one machine.
With the order now placed, it's estimated that the 32 OST devices will be available for BP by Aug. 1. Costner is also working to provide 16 additional centrifuges to local parishes impacted by the spill. Costner and OTS officials think the company's costs can be offset by selling the oil separated from the oil.

text: I have a new found admiration for travel blogs. Perhaps because of my "deer in headlights" response to all things new, I can barely remember a time when blogging was a spontaneous reflex to the myriad of ideas popping up around me. Five and a lifetime of days ago, we landed in South Africa. I have never felt so inadequate at description or so disappointed in the ability of a camera to capture what it is like to be here. Maybe when I come home and have time to reflect, I will find my words. But for now, trying to take it all in requires all my heart, soul, mind and strength.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has partnered with retailer, Big Lots, in the voluntary recall of approximately 30,000 tabletop torches. The recall is being conducted due to the serious risk of consumers who use the oil-based lamps suffering a Defective Product Injury.
According to a CPSC Press Release, the units were sold at BigLots locations nationwide from March – June 2013. The company issued the recall after receiving reports of consumers suffering serious fire and burn injuries when using the product. Liquid fuel placed in the unit is capable of flaring and bursting into flame, seriously injuring those nearby.
So far, 20 incidents of consumers suffering burns associated with the product have been reported. Two of the victims are said to have suffered second- and third-degree burns, while seven others suffered less severe burns.
Those in possession of the affected units should halt their use immediately and return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.
The Oklahoma Personal Injury Lawyers with J. Colbert Injury Lawyers explain the law requires manufacturers and retailers to ensure the safety of any product they bring to market. Failure to do so can result in claims of negligence in the event of an accident. The firm suggests anyone who has been hurt by a malfunctioning product discuss their legal options for compensation with a qualified attorney immediately.

iBuyPower shows off its first Steam Machine prototypes to Endgadget, which it hopes to ship commercially next year
The Xbox One has been released and the PS4 is homing into view on the horizon, so you'd think that we'd be suffering from next-gen console overload. So what better time for the first Steam Machine protoype to break cover?
In a first look feature with Engadget, iBuyPower has revealed its first Steam Machine boxes. The manufacturer says that its two prototypes - codenamed Gordon and Freeman for the moment - are running on an early build of SteamOS, which will run all Steam games at 60fps in 1080p resolution.
In terms of their visual appearance the Steam Machines look like a pair of giant white ice-cream cakes with a glowing bar of light running through the centre. The Gordon and Freeman models look nearly identical except for the the colour of the light bar; one is black when not illuminated and the other is clear.
iBuyPower says that they're still working out the kinks in the machines and, while the manufacturer doesn't have a specific release date in mind, it hopes to have the Steam Machines in the market sometime next year.
Valve announced that it would be working with multiple partners to bring fully customisable Steam Machines to players back in September. T3 has been unable to have a hands-on with a Steam Machine as yet, but we're keeping our fingers crossed for CES.

We all want to be entertained. I myself have recently been enjoying these great videos about a cat in Japan who likes to jump in and out of cardboard boxes. That's how I roll.
Maybe you 're too tough for that kind of thing. Too macho. OK. We got something for you, grappler. Check out a nice head-to-head mat clash between two fierce brownies - UFC veteran Nate Diaz of Gracie Fighter (Cesar Gracie) and Matt Darcy of AKA/Guerilla Jiu Jitsu. This is a great back and forth technical battle with some decent twists and turns. I'm not going to ruin the surprise, but someone gets submitted.
Two versions!
Sidenote: Darcy did a great job (love that omoplata) despite giving up some lb's.

Choosing Between 2020 Top 3 Best Portable Infrared Saunas
Portable infrared saunas can seem like a lifesaver to those that don't have the money or space for a more substantial unit. This isn't always that big an exaggeration either.
- 1 Choosing Between 2020 Top 3 Best Portable Infrared Saunas
- 2 A Portable Infrared Sauna Buying Guide
|Serene Life
|Read Reviews
|Radiant Saunas BSA6310 Rejuvenator
|Read Reviews
|DURHERM Negative Ion FIR Infrared
|Read Reviews
A high quality far infrared sauna system has the potential to aid with detoxification, chronic pain and other major health conditions.
Therefore, a portable model for the home could provide the regular relief and support that people need.
They may not have the space, interiors and fancy features of the best in-built units and gym facilities. Still, the best portable infrared sauna models are built to meet the needs of consumers.
There are a number of features to look out for when searching for a top rated portable infrared sauna for the home. The first place to start is with the dimensions of the structure itself. It has to be big enough to be comfortable, but small enough to be portable and easy to handle.
A simple folding frame helps here too. Comfort also comes from the heat provided and the addition of arm holes, soft cuffs and a chair to sit on. Then there are the control for a strong, consistent heat for the right session length. The following models share many of these features.
1) Serene Life Portable Infrared Sauna:
Why is this SereneLife Sauna so helpful for at-home users?
- ease of use for people that may be dealing with chronic pain
- just the right amount of heat for the right amount of time
- new arm holes that improve the design
- a good enough chair for the job
One of the top reasons for buying a portable sauna like this is the problem of chronic pain. A daily session with these heaters can help to lessen the symptoms and improve other areas of health and well-being.
Therefore, it helps if these saunas are as easy to use as possible for those with painful joints and muscles. This model does so with the use of velcro straps on the hand holes and cover. This means that it is pretty easy to get in and out, with no fiddly zips or difficult mechanisms.
The added bonus here is that it still holds its heat despite this fastening. Those arms holes are part of a new design with this upgraded model. They add to the enjoyment factor, as users can now read a magazine or book.
This model also has a remote control for the settings and timer. Users can program a session up to 60 minutes, which is more than enough to enjoy the 140 degree heat from the low emf carbon fibre heating panels.
This is also a pretty portable option with a low 20lb weight and dimensions of 27.6 x 31.5 x 37.8 inches. It also comes with its own chair, but it might not be the best chair around.
2) Radiant Saunas BSA6310 Rejuvenator Portable Sauna:
Why is this Radiant Saunas model to appealing for at-home users?
- a higher heat and larger space than the model above
- a great remote control for ease of use
- nice attention to detail on the comfort features
- perhaps a better chairs than some other models as well
The first thing to note about this model is that it is little bigger than the one above. It measures in at 28 x 33.5″ x 38.1 inches. This isn't that much different, and many users probably wouldn't notice. But the last thing that users want it to feel cramped in these portable devices.
In addition to being a little bigger, this "rejuvenator" is also a little hotter. There are 5 different levels of temperature options here, which are easily controlled via the built-in thermostat and remote. This goes as high as 150 degrees.
This extra 10 degrees might not matter to everyone, as 140 is said to be the optimal temperature in a portable infrared sauna. But, it offers greater choice to users.
Then there is the ease of use and comfort offered in the design. To start with, there is the benefit of the pre-attached "EZ fit" frame make from solid Beech.
This means simple set-up with a safe design, but also strength. Then there is the nice detail of the padded, double lined neck collar to prevent the material from rubbing, as well as the high quality chair. This is a comfortable folding chair with a canvas seat and weight limit of 180 pounds.
3) DURHERM Negative Ion FIR Infrared Portable Sauna:
Why is this Durherm able to stand out from other portable saunas?
- the use of tourmaline panels add to the potential health benefits
- the panels and materials are light and portable
- there is yet another high quality remote and chair
- the comfort features are impressive.
The main selling point with this model is the use of tourmaline. This is a much-loved property in the world of healing and holistic medicine. There are many that celebrate its potential for increased detoxification, which is why it is such a great material for an infrared home sauna.
This model uses ultra thin tourmaline panels from Japan. This means a high quality product with a light weight. This light weight is also important for a portable device that is still convenient enough for transportation and storage.
This product isn't just appealing because of the tourmaline. The designers have also made sure to include many of the top features seen in the other products in this list. This means great comfort and helpful features.
There is the remote control for the different temperature settings, the soft neck collars and the folding chair. Additional benefits here include the fact that those collars are removable, the comfort of the chair and the storage pocket for the remote. This shows that Durherm have considered the needs of users from different angles.
Choosing the top rated portable infrared sauna for your needs.
There are clearly lots of different features to focus on with these best portable saunas. Some users will focus on the materials and he heat, such as the multiple heat settings of the Radiant Sauna, or the use of tourmaline in the Durherm model.
Others will look at ease of use, such as the velcro of the SereneLife model, or the frame of the Durherm one. Make sure to take your time when comparing options to find the one that is right for you.
A Portable Infrared Sauna Buying Guide
Portable infrared saunas are attractive to all those that love the idea of an at-home system, but don't have the money or space for a full unit. These systems look to replicate the feel and intensity of the sauna with heating panels and a comfortable enclosure. There are lots of brands getting in on the act, so how can you be sure of buying the best option?
In this Portable Infrared Sauna buying guide we will consider the following:
- the size of the tent – including the head hole and arm holes
- the ease of assembly and disassembly and packing it up
- the heat generated and time it take to get up to the right temperature
- the quality of the materials
- the safety features
- the inclusion of a chair
The first consideration here is the size and general design of the structure.
Starting with the size, this product needs to be small enough for apartment use and large enough for a comfortable experience.
This means that is is small enough to contain the heat and heat up quickly, but also large enough so that there is no risk of burning yourself on the heaters. This is where is helps to read the dimensions, rather than guess based on sales photos.
As for the design, you need to consider the arm holes, head hole and the frame. This isn't going to be a complete enclosure. There should a head hole to poke out of while the steam does its work in the tent.
Many also have arm holes so you can reach out and read a magazine. There should also be a simple frame that goes up and comes down with ease, and a basic covering that zips up around the frame for ease of use and ease of entry.
Also check to see if there is a carry bag to put everything in at the end.
Then there is the heat generated from the panels, the controls and the effect on users.
The heat generated from the panels is vital for a successful session. Some are more effective than others. Check to see what the panels are made from and what the maximum temperature is. This is important when judging the time taken to heat up.
How long are left you hanging around waiting to get in? Then there is the ability to maintain the temperature without the heat escaping from the tent. This is where the best possible materials will help.
A great temperature is important for all the health benefits that users come to expect from these indoor saunas. This is still meant to be a great product for detoxification and stress relief.
Again, this is where user reviews can help. How do buyers actually feel after using this product? Also, are they able to tailor the settings to their liking with a helpful remote control?
Finally, the best portable infrared saunas also need to offer safety and comfort.
All this heat and all these electronic elements mean that you need a product with a good safety rating. This means a safe electronic system with good wiring that is connected to the mains, not an extension.
The best models also have an auto-shut off system on the heater if it gets too high, or if it is left on too long. Also check for fire resistant, tough materials in the tent itself.
The final factor isn't as important as safety and heat, but can make a big difference. Some models come with a chair and some don't. The right chair means a more comfortable experience.
Some succeed with a secure, comfortable stool that fit the space well. Others are off the mark with flimsy ones that were just an after thought.
What have we learnt from this Portable Infrared Sauna buying guide?
These at-home portable saunas may seem pretty simplistic at first, but there is actually quite a lot to consider. Just because they are the transportable, more flimsy version of a "real" infrared sauna, that doesn't mean that they can't be a high-quality, functional product.
The best portable infrared saunas will be powerful enough for a good heat, with protective materials and a strong frame. But they will also be user-friendly, with simple disassembly, a remote control and comfortable chair. Compare models and read the user reviews before you buy.

Customer Reviews
I'm happy with these leggings. They fit true to size and aren't see through at all. Only downside is the waistband. It's looser than I would like (currently 24 weeks pregnant, 125 pounds) so I'm not sure they'll fit well when I'm not pregnant anymore.
I followed the size guide for these leggings and I just feel like they are huge (especially considering they are supposed to be for before/during/after pregnancy). I was prepared for them to be too long (I am 5'1") and that I would roll them, but there is just so much fabric i feel like I have a roll/bunch of fabric around my upper thigh/hip area just to get them in the right place and I have a cuff at the bottom. The belly part can be rolled down or up which is nice and it is soft, but not supportive - but I knew that when I bought them. The fabric is nice and smooth and I don't feel like they are see through, but they do get that sheer/shimmer look on upper legs/butt...which is crazy to me because there is so much fabric and it falls down as I walk/move around! I wouldn't buy these again, but thought I needed to give them a couple of wears since I have never worn maternity clothes before so I can't return them. Oh well.
B.D.A™ Leggings
My only issue with these leggings is that I have to keep pulling them up. Other than that they are good. Would I buy them again, probably not.
I have only had these leggings for a couple weeks, but so far am loving them. They are not see-through at all. I am between a medium and large so I sized down to medium, but probably could have gone with a small.

April 1, 2020 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
12th May 2015
The Share Centre has rated EasyJet a 'buy' as the airline posts a £7m profit for the past six months, up from a loss of £53m last year.
Forward bookings are in line with last year and passengers are benefiting from competitive operating environment and lower fuel costs, the broker says.
Ian Forrest, investment research analyst at The Share Centre, says: "This morning, low-cost airline easyJet reported that it had moved into the black in the first half of the year and said forward bookings for the second half are in line with last year. Sales in the six months to March rose 3.8% to £1.77bn, with pre-tax profits coming in at £7m compared to a loss of £53m last year. Investors should also note that the group expanded the number of bases it operates from to 26. Furthermore, the company grew the level of available capacity on its aircraft as well as improving the average number passengers on each flight.
"Despite this solid set of figures, the market has reacted negatively to a lowering of expectations for the second half. The period has not started well for the company following some disruption in April from the French air traffic controllers' strike and higher regulatory charges in Germany and Italy. However, investors should acknowledge that easyJet continues to grow its capacity and expects full year sales and profits to grow.
"We continue to recommend easyJet as a medium risk 'buy' due to its good growth prospects, the steady improvement in the underlying economic picture across Europe and an effective management team which has successfully refined the no-frills approach. The market's reaction to today's news looks overdone with the shares now trading on a very attractive 2016 PE of 11 and a healthy forward dividend yield of 3.7%."

Natural and synthetic progestogens have been commonly used to prevent recurrent pregnancy loss in women with inadequate progesterone secretion or reduced progesterone sensitivity. However, the clinical efficacy of progesterone and its analogs for maintaining pregnancy is variable. Additionally, the underlying cause of impaired endometrial progesterone responsiveness during early pregnancy remains unknown. Here, we demonstrated that uterine-selective depletion of BMI1, a key component of the polycomb repressive complex-1 (PRC1), hampers uterine progesterone responsiveness and derails normal uterine receptivity, resulting in implantation failure in mice. We further uncovered genetic and biochemical evidence that BMI1 interacts with the progesterone receptor (PR) and the E3 ligase E6AP in a polycomb complex–independent manner and regulates the PR ubiquitination that is essential for normal progesterone responsiveness. A close association of aberrantly low endometrial BMI1 expression with restrained PR responsiveness in women who had previously had a miscarriage indicated that the role of BMI1 in endometrial PR function is conserved in mice and in humans. In addition to uncovering a potential regulatory mechanism of BMI1 that ensures normal endometrial progesterone responsiveness during early pregnancy, our findings have the potential to help clarify the underlying causes of spontaneous pregnancy loss in women.

The spermatogenesis/oogenesis helix-loop-helix (SOHLH) proteins SOHLH1 and SOHLH2 play important roles in male and female reproduction. Although previous studies indicate that these transcriptional regulators are expressed in and have in vivo roles in postnatal ovaries, their expression and function in the embryonic ovary remain largely unknown. Because oocyte differentiation is tightly coupled with the onset of meiosis, it is of significant interest to determine how early oocyte transcription factors regulate these two processes. In this issue of the

Following migration of primordial germ cells to the genital ridge, oogonia undergo several rounds of mitotic division and enter meiosis at approximately E13.5. Most oocytes arrest in the dictyate (diplotene) stage of meiosis circa E18.5. The genes necessary to drive oocyte differentiation in parallel with meiosis are unknown.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are negative modulators of gene expression that fine-tune numerous biological processes. miRNA loss-of-function rarely results in highly penetrant phenotypes, but rather, influences cellular responses to physiologic and pathophysiologic stresses.

Autoimmune responses to meiotic germ cell antigens (MGCA) that are expressed on sperm and testis occur in human infertility and after vasectomy. Many MGCA are also expressed as cancer/testis antigens (CTA) in human cancers, but the tolerance status of MGCA has not been investigated. MGCA are considered to be uniformly immunogenic and nontolerogenic, and the prevailing view posits that MGCA are sequestered behind the Sertoli cell barrier in seminiferous tubules. Here, we have shown that only some murine MGCA are sequestered. Nonsequestered MCGA (NS-MGCA) egressed from normal tubules, as evidenced by their ability to interact with systemically injected antibodies and form localized immune complexes outside the Sertoli cell barrier. NS-MGCA derived from cell fragments that were discarded by spermatids during spermiation. They egressed as cargo in residual bodies and maintained Treg-dependent physiological tolerance. In contrast, sequestered MGCA (S-MGCA) were undetectable in residual bodies and were nontolerogenic. Unlike postvasectomy autoantibodies, which have been shown to mainly target S-MGCA, autoantibodies produced by normal mice with transient Treg depletion that developed autoimmune orchitis exclusively targeted NS-MGCA. We conclude that spermiation, a physiological checkpoint in spermatogenesis, determines the egress and tolerogenicity of MGCA. Our findings will affect target antigen selection in testis and sperm autoimmunity and the immune responses to CTA in male cancer patients.

Inspired by: H.P. Lovecraft
Future Plans: Working on a novel
It was quiet in class. Only the monotone sound of her voice filled the space surrounding me. I looked at my classmates and most were asleep or in a pseudo-comatose state, trying desperately to appear to be involved and paying attention.
Me? I doodled on my paper. The same drawing I'd always drawn. A handsome man, not a boy… as my fantasy should dictate because of my age, but a grown man. He must've been in his late twenties or early thirties. The time era was the twenties or thirties, by the look of his perfect black suit, his pocket watch adjusted just so. He was the center of the drawing… always. Every time my pencil hit the paper, I would begin sketching him, in the same exact stance and always surrounded by the same images of childhood nightmares. The picture never changed, only I did every time I drew it.
I reached to shade the edge of the page and smudged the corner of his eye, the look going from one of horror to concern, as if he'd not only witness a death, but in a moment's notice, it became my own. I wanted to reach into the drawling and touch him. I wanted to crawl into the fine lines of the paper and save him.
I loved him. Not sure when it happened that I'd fallen in love with someone ten plus years my senior, but I didn't care. He didn't exist, but I spend day and night wishing he did. I wished I could draw myself in the gray shading of his arms, but no matter how much I wanted to, I couldn't alter the fabric of the piece. I'd tried so many times to draw something lovely around him, to surround him with the image of a cafe or a park, but the pencil never listened and my hand was its obedient slave.
I finished and looked down, staring into his concerned gaze. My heart lit on fire and I knew I was a freak. In love with a drawing from my head. I sighed, put the picture in my binder and leaned back to listen to Mrs. Marcias finish instructing us on our next physics project. I looked over at my best friend, Sidney and smiled. She was such a brain, and an overachiever, that I knew she'd have the notes from class. We'd partner up, like we always did, and she'd once again save my butt from failing.
She smirked and shook her head at me. "The door to nowhere," is the name she'd given my drawing many years ago. It was an incredible fantasy that didn't exist… hence the doorway in my soul that led to nowhere. I smiled back. My retort had always been that I'd love to go nowhere if my dream guy was driving the train. It was an ongoing joke between the two of us.
The bell rang and I stood, filing out behind my fellow class mates, my vision muted by the memory of his new smudged expression. That's the first subtle change I'd seen in the drawing in the better of two years. Why was he concerned? Did he know me? Would we ever meet? How would I find this door to nowhere?
I ran into a tall guy in front of me, Jonathon Kerig. He was on the soccer team and most girls swooned over him as he passed in the hall, but he seemed down to earth, oblivious to them. We weren't friends, but more acquaintances. Heck, I was only acquaintances with everyone.
"Hey, Jess, if you wanted to touch me, just ask. No need to mow me down as a cover up." He smirked and fell in line beside me. "Besides, these are my new shoes you're stepping all over."
I scoffed, "And then you woke up."
We both laughed and walked into the hall, people moving around everywhere. We made small talk as he walked me to my locker and then left. Sid came up and jumped in front of me, a ridiculous smile on her face.
"Well?" she said.
"Well…. what?"
"Don't play games with me. What did Jonathon want? Walking you to your locker, laughing together… tell me, tell me, tell me," Sid sang.
I chucked. "When there's something to 'tell you,' believe me I will, but really I'm not interested, and neither was he. We were talking about his shoes, Sid."
Her pretty features crinkled up in a funny face. "Oh, well… darn. I was hoping for something hot to have occurred."
"Sorry to disappoint," I said and got my stuff out of my locker. We turned to walk down the hall and something caught my eye.
Amongst the colorful hallway of students and teachers, was a man – tall, well filled out…. sketched? My heart stopped. He paused to look at me as he turned the corner to the gym, his eyes full of concerned fear… for me? My breath caught in my chest. I was officially losing my mind. I froze in my spot as Sid continued to jabber away about nothing. I just started at him. He was a figment of my imagination, not real, but a drawing come to life.
His mouth moved, and a whisper carried down the hall and wrapped around me, "Jessica…. my love… find me." As quickly as the breeze carried the message, it died down and he walked around the corner. I felt the air swoosh from my lungs and I took off in a sprint. I might be crazy, but I'd been thinking about this man for as long as I could remember, and sketch or real, if he was findable – I was going to find him.
I turned the corner and stopped, looking around. I placed my hand on the wall next to me for balance, my heart threatening to beat out of my chest, my spirit on fire for the possibility of his existence, and my mind threatening to snap at the insanity of my thoughts. I sighed at his absence, and pulled my hand back, looking down at it. It was completely covered in lead, pencil lead. I looked at the wall. My smudged hand print smeared on its glossy white texture, and a slightly bigger one just above it. His.
Sid rushed over to me, "What in the hell are you doing? We're going to be late to Algebra."
I felt like a fool, but honestly I didn't care. I'd follow my sketch anywhere. Sometime, a long time ago, I'd drawn my heart in the picture, deep in the dark grey jacket, in the chest of a man I didn't know and hoped I'd someday meet.
"Sorry, thought I saw something," I murmured and followed her to class. I sat down with a sigh and opened my notebook. I had hundreds of sketches of him, most of them at home, under my bed, away from the concerned eyes of my parents, who thought I lost my mind or was slightly autistic with my incessant drawings of the same man and same setting. I only had a few in my notebook.
My heart almost stopped, and I gasped as the folder slipped out of my hand and spilled on the floor. I slid out of my desk and hit my knees, my hands spreading the sketches frantically. They were just as I had drawn earlier today and yesterday and the day before, but one thing was now missing… him.

- Everyone seems to have an opinion about Kanye West's recent pro-Trump and Make America Great Again comments on Twitter.
- John Legend weighed in on Wednesday night.
- "I love that great, brilliant artists have the power to imagine a better future. But artists can't be blind to the truth," the singer wrote.
- People think Legend had an excellent, eloquent response.
In case you missed it, Kanye West pretty much dominated Twitter on Wednesday. First, the singer tweeted that he supports Donald Trump because both men have "dragon energy." Then, the rapper and designer walked back his previous statements after his wife Kim Kardashian West asked him to. Later that afternoon, West tweeted a picture of himself wearing a signed Make America Great Again hat. At the same time, Kardashian West was trying to do some serious damage control. Meanwhile, Trump thanked West for his support, calling the aforementioned selfie "very cool."
Tired yet? Well, there's more where that came from.
As you can probably imagine, people on Twitter had a lot of thoughts about the situation. Among those speaking out about West's tweets was John Legend—a personal friend of Kanye's— who had an excellent, eloquent response to the situation. The singer summed up his thoughts in a thread on the website:
—John Legend (@johnlegend) April 25, 2018

—John Legend (@johnlegend) April 25, 2018
—John Legend (@johnlegend) April 25, 2018
—John Legend (@johnlegend) April 25, 2018
He followed his thread with one tweet that focused specifically on Trump's political platform.
—John Legend (@johnlegend) April 25, 2018
"The defining trait of Trump's campaign and political profile was his embrace of white supremacy," Legend wrote. "He made it clear every time he spoke. Some serious cognitive dissonance to ignore that for the other x% you might find appealing. I guess I agree with >1% of anyone's thoughts though."
People think Legend's tweets perfectly articulated why some people are troubled by West's support of Trump.

West has been relatively quiet on the platform since his tweetstorm on Wednesday afternoon.
Update: It appears that Legend reached out to West via text message on Thursday morning, imploring him to reconsider his political views.
On Thursday afternoon, West shared a screenshot his conversation with Legend on Twitter.
—KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 26, 2018
"Hey, it's JL. I hope you'll reconsider aligning yourself with Trump. You're way too powerful and influential to endorse who he is and what he stands for. As you know, what you say really means something to your fans. They are loyal to you and respect your opinion," Legend wrote. "So many people who love you feel so betrayed right now because they know the harm that Trump's policies cause, especially to people of color. Don't let this be part of your legacy. You're the greatest artist of our generation."
West responded: "I love you John and I appreciate your thoughts. You bringing up my fans or legacy is a tactic based on fear used to manipulate my thoughts."
But in a second screenshot West shared, it appeared that there's no bad blood between the musicians.
—KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 26, 2018
You can read Legend's full thread here:
"I imagine there's some comfort in imagining a future without racism and projecting that onto the present. Thinking if we just deny the truth, it doesn't exist. If history is erased, we don't have to deal with its consequences. However ... Far too many people don't have the luxury of closing their eyes and ears. They feel it in their lives and can't act like what they see and know doesn't exist.
They know their family was destroyed by deportation or incarceration. They know their loved one was denied safe harbor because of their religion. They know their son or daughter was shot because their skin color evoked fear. They see the statistics about black applications for real estate or loans or employment being turned away because their name was Jamal and not James.
I love that great, brilliant artists have the power to imagine a better future. But artists can't be blind to the truth."

Know the facts about Xanax and connect with help and support to keep your child safe.
What is Xanax?
Xanax (alprazolam) is a benzodiazepine medication that acts as a central nervous system depressant. Benzodiazepines produce sedation, induce sleep, relieve anxiety and muscle spasms, and prevent seizures. Benzodiazepines are also called tranquilizers.1
What are some slang terms for Xanax?
Xannies, Bars, Z-Bars, Zanbars, Xanbars, Handlebars, Planks, Bricks, Benzos
What does it look like?
Xanax is sold as pills, tablets and liquid.
How is Xanax used?
Xanax is prescribed for generalized anxiety disorder, anxiety associated with depression, and panic disorder. When misused, the drug is swallowed or injected.1
What do young people hear about Xanax?
Prescription tranquilizers such as Xanax can cause euphoria.
What are the risks of Xanax use?
Xanax and other prescription tranquilizers can slow normal brain function, which may result in slurred speech, shallow breathing, sluggishness, fatigue, disorientation and lack of coordination or dilated pupils. Higher doses cause impaired memory, judgment and coordination; irritability; paranoia; and thoughts of suicide. Some people can become agitated or aggressive. Using prescription tranquilizers with other substances — particularly alcohol — can slow breathing, or slow both the heart and respiration, and possibly lead to death.
Continued use can lead to physical dependence and — when use is reduced or stopped abruptly — withdrawal symptoms may occur. Because all prescription tranquilizers work by slowing the brain's activity, when a person stops taking them, there can be a rebound effect, possibly leading to seizures and other harmful consequences. Tolerance to the drug's effects can also occur, meaning that larger doses are needed to achieve similar effects as those experienced initially. This may lead users to take higher doses and risk the occurrence of an overdose. Prescription tranquilizers can become addictive, meaning a person continues to take these drugs despite their harmful consequences.1
Sleep medications are also sometimes used as date rape drugs.
