One of the things people labor over in their lives is decision-making. Choosing the "right" thing to do. Worrying about it, stressing about it. Being anxious over extended periods of time is wearing. If you are in a leadership role, the attempt to fulfill the expectations of others requires decision-making support for others. The truth is no matter how long it takes to make that decision, it is always the same–you have to choose. Trust yourself and decide.
Here's what I see about decisions:
- A decision is always preceded by an emotion
- No one knows what the outcome of our decision will be.
- Our Insurance policy—Fully commit to our decision
Let's take a further look at these three:
DECISIONS ARE EMOTION DRIVEN. We are emotional beings. Yet all our lives people have been telling us not to be emotional. Be rational. Use common sense. (You mean do what you you think others would do if they were you?)
Good luck with that one. We have feelings for a purpose or we wouldn't have them. We intuitively know what to do. Does that mean what we decide always turns out? Of course not. Since we are the performer, we can own our decision and that gives us the best odds for success.
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT. When people tell you what you should do, they don't know. They aren't in the batter's box, you are. It's what they think they would do. Being on-deck isn't the same as being at bat. Sitting on the bench isn't being in the game either. It's okay to listen to what people have to say and when they finish you are still the person at bat.
OUR INSURANCE POLICY. Fully commit to whatever you decide. No second-guessing. Given we don't know what will happen, we can only evaluate our decision if we have give it 100%. Relax. Take a full swing. Take what you get. Learn from it and take another full swing. Our failure is always not taking the next swing. Life doesn't quit on you. You quit on you.

"Scriptural Giants: Lehi—Man of Vision," Friend, Nov. 1987, 48
Scriptural Giants:
Lehi—Man of Vision
(Part 2 of 2)
(See 1 Ne. 16–18; 2 Ne. 1–4.)
The prophet Lehi had been taught much by the Lord. Through visions he had seen Jesus Christ and the plan of salvation, which he diligently tried to teach to his family. His younger sons, Sam and Nephi, had listened and learned; his older sons, Laman and Lemuel, had not. And when Lehi had been warned in a vision to flee Jerusalem with his family and others, Laman and Lemuel had openly rebelled and had constantly needed to be humbled—one time, by an angel. Now the Lord instructed Lehi to journey farther into the wilderness—farther from their comfortable home and friends. …
When Lehi arose one morning, he found a ball of curious workmanship at the tent door. The ball, called the Liahona, was made of fine brass, and within it were two spindles. One spindle pointed the way that they should travel in the wilderness, so everyone packed his belongings, and they journeyed for four days in that direction.
For eight years the families lived in the wilderness. They hunted for food and depended upon the Lord to make it sweet tasting, because He had commanded them not to make a fire to cook their meat. Ishmael died and was buried, and the families grew: Lehi and Sariah had two more sons, Jacob and Joseph, and their four older sons and Zoram (Laban's servant who had joined with them) married and began to have children.
One day the Lord commanded Nephi to build a ship so that they could all cross the ocean to a land that the Lord had prepared for them. How Lehi's heart must have ached as he saw the difference in his sons. Nephi, Sam, Jacob, and Joseph obeyed the Lord and listened to Lehi's teachings; Laman and Lemuel, however, rebelled again and again, causing many problems.
When the ship was finished, Lehi followed the Lord's counsel and had their provisions loaded onto it. Then they set sail for the promised land.
Laman and Lemuel continued to be quarrelsome. Lehi worried so much about Laman and Lemuel that it made him deathly ill. He loved all his family, but he could not make Laman and Lemuel love the Lord. How it hurt him that they didn't!
Finally they arrived in the new land and began to settle it. Lehi realized that he would not live much longer. He called his children to him and spoke to them. Then to all who were there, Lehi gave his blessings and counsel. He bore testimony of the truthfulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ, saying, "I speak unto you these things for your profit and learning; for there is a God, and he hath created all things, both the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are."
When Lehi died, he was buried in the land that the Lord had promised him.
Lehi was indeed a man of God. He had seen many visions and had received many revelations and had written some of them down so that we may learn more about our Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ and what we have to do to return to Them.

Keep Holly Close | Amnesia Trope Meets Ice Queen Romance by A.E. Radley
Keep Holly Close
Sequel to the best-selling novel Bring Holly Home
Former personal assistant Holly Carter is settling into her new life as a mother, a journalist, and partner of magazine editor—and former boss—Victoria Hastings.
The arrival of an anonymous email threatens to split the happy couple up. They have to work together but will they be able to overcome both Holly's amnesia and Victoria's reserved demeanour to find the perpetrator?
Chapter One
"No." Victoria slid the page proofs across the desk to Gideon Fisher.
He softly sighed and picked them up.
She examined the next set of proofs. These had been back to the art department no fewer than eight times, but something still wasn't right. She squinted and noticed the hitch. She put them on the desk and slid them towards her director of photography.
"Also, no."
She moved on to the next set. Gideon wisely didn't ask what was wrong with either set. He'd worked with her long enough to know not ask superfluous questions when she was very clearly in a bad mood.
She expected her team to be able to do their jobs. If she was required to spoon-feed them every single detail, then they'd be better off looking for employment elsewhere. As the editor-in-chief of the most popular fashion magazine in North America, Victoria Hastings had impeccable standards. Anyone who worked at Arrival deserved to be there, or they found themselves out of the door very quickly.

Find deals and help restaurants with SimpleDeal on iOS
For the past year, SimpleDeal Founder & CEO James McKinney has sought to help the restaurant business break away from coupon and deal sites like Groupon, while still being able to draw in new customers with desirable bargains. Instead of restaurants signing up for a service like Groupon, which takes a cut of the profits restaurants receive, the SimpleDeal app allows restaurants to create any offer they'd like, while retaining their proceeds.
The SimpleDeal app was tested last year in Long Beach, CA and has now launched for everyone on iOS. Using the app, users point their device at a restaurant to see its menus, average cost for two guests, specials of the day or even unique deals which may only be available in the SimpleDeal app.
These deals can be coupons or discounts for food and beverages, or something a bit more unique. For example, a business could choose to name a menu item after a guest once they've spent a certain amount of money in the restaurant. Restaurant owners can add multiple deals to their SimpleDeal profiles, and can change these deals on a daily basis.
To help the platform grow, SimpleDeal has launched an Indiegogo campaign for the app. Funds raised through this campaign will be used to bring SimpleDeal to Android, as well as add new "user-centric" features to the platform, including the ability for consumers to be rewarded for supporting restaurants.
The SimpleDeal Indiegogo campaign has raised nearly $2,000 of its $100,000 goal. The campaign will close on May 16. Check back soon for more, or to follow SimpleDeal on AppData, our tracking platform for mobile and social apps and developers.

The Archive Lady: How to Preserve Newspaper Clippings
Martha from Virginia asks: "My great aunt was a wonderful family historian and I inherited all of the genealogy research that she compiled over the years. One thing that she did was to clip obituaries, marriage announcements and other articles about the family from the local newspapers. I have noticed that the newsprint has deteriorated and has left an orange color on the documents they were in contact with. What is the best way to preserve these newspaper clippings so they won't damage other documents, especially since there are hundreds of them?"
Newspaper Clippings: A Family History Treasure Trove
It sounds like Martha has a treasure trove of genealogy records from her great aunt. How wonderful that these records were passed down to the next generation to be saved and preserved!
Newspapers are my favorite record source to conduct genealogy research and to find information about my ancestors. I could sit for hours and hours reading the newspapers where my ancestors lived. The information found in newspapers is sometimes unique information not found in any other document. I have even been known to clip a story from time to time from the newspaper. Even with many newspapers going totally digital today and not printing newspapers anymore, there is still something about printer's ink on a piece of paper that makes it worthy of keeping. Most newspapers printed since 1850 are on poor quality paper that was not made with preservation in mind. The paper used for newsprint is known as ground wood or mechanical wood pulp paper. This paper contains impurities and will become discolored, brittle and acidic over time.
Martha has inherited hundreds of newspaper clippings from her great aunt. I suspect there are many genealogists that have newspaper clippings in their genealogical records collections as well. Clipping items from the newspaper is a favorite past time for many and some still do it today.
How to Handle Newsprint
The newsprint from the aging newspapers can be very destructive to other documents if they come in contact with each other. When working with newspaper clippings there are two options to preservation:
- Option #1: Photocopy each newspaper clipping onto acid free copy paper and then discard the newspaper clipping. Many archives use this first option when dealing with newspaper clippings in records collections. Acid free copy paper is more expensive than regular copy paper, but copying the newspaper clippings will preserve the information and also protect other documents in the collection.
- Option #2: If Martha wants to keep the original newspaper clippings, that would be okay, but they would need to be encapsulated in archival plastic sleeves so that they do not come in contact with any other documents, especially photographs. Each newspaper clipping needs to be placed in its own archival plastic sleeve and then it can be placed with the other genealogical records.
Digitize Newspaper Clippings
No matter which option is used to preserve newspaper clippings, it is always a good idea to scan and digitize each newspaper clipping. More and more, digitization is becoming the first line of defense in most archives when it comes to information preservation. The information contained in the newspaper clippings is important for researching our family history. Making a digital copy of the clippings will insure the information contained in them will be saved even if the actual clipping itself is not.
Proper Storage Environment for News Clippings
The last important step to records preservation of any kind is to regulate the storage environment. Never store genealogical records in an attic or basement. Store records in a place where the temperature can be kept at a constant measurement. Temperatures should be kept at a steady 65° F and humidity levels at a constant 35%.
* * *
Newspaper clippings and the information they hold adds to our ancestor's story and that information should be preserved.

Letter: James a team player
To the editor:
I am enthusiastically supporting Kathleen James in her bid to become our local representative in the Vermont General Assembly. I have known Kathleen over the years and respect her honesty, integrity, thoughtfulness and intelligence. I count her as a friend. I know how industrious she is. I have seen her at work. I know that she seeks to do the very best she can in every possible way.
Kathleen also has a light side. She laughs easily. She doesn't take herself so seriously that her voice has to drown out all the other voices in the room to make her point.As an outstanding organizer and public servant her preferred way is to speak less and do more. When she speaks she does so clearly. When she writes she writes clearly. She lets herself be easily understood. She eschews obfuscation.
Kathleen is a team player. She treats others with respect. She is not self-serving, self-referent or self-indulgent. She is, however, very self-aware. She doesn't have that annoying quality of making herself the center of attention and focusing on herself when in the presence of others.
Please read Kathleen's talking points on what she stands for. Compare her list with that of our present legislators. Can you trust our current elected officials to support you on how they voted for gun control, the environment, the minimum wage, families with children, opioid addiction, incarceration, broadband? Kathleen has made it clear where she stands. Can you as a Republican or Independent or Democrat trust our current legislators?
We need a change. Kathleen is the change we need. She won't flip-flop on important issues on the economy or make excuses why "it's not the right time" for whatever. She won't have as the only talking points those offered by ALEC or rely on the old-saw/slogan "no new taxes." Kathleen is more aware that most of us are paying attention. She knows that the environment and our climate crisis is already impacting our way of life.
When I cast my ballot for Kathleen I will be reminded of Professor Amitai Etzioni, a former White House advisor, who wrote, "An economy can thrive, at least for a while, if people watch out for themselves. But it has become evident that a society cannot function well, given a self-centered orientation. Our society is suffering from a severe deficit of communities that uphold a common moral expectation for our life together." Kathleen James can be trusted to uphold the common good.

Habibi wrote:Or is Spoon using something different.
Habibi wrote:I used a commercial product that I got at a very friendly Thai grocery (the only one) in Manhattan's Chinatown. The brand was Thai (probably made somewhere in the states) and was OK - not much flavor and the texture wasn't great, but it had the pronounced sour/tang aspect typical of naem. Surprisingly, good Viet/Thai ingredients are hard to find in Manhattan. Probably not the case in Queens or Brooklyn. The salad turned out well, though the rice got a bit too chewy while it sat waiting for me to finish putting together the other ingredients. Next time, I'll definitely fry them harder, and make them smaller to increase the crispy bits. I might even scoop out some of the rice as Spoon does (and Leela documents at She Simmers). Great recipe, a little labor intensive though. I'd much rather go out for this stuff, but this dish is surprisingly hard to find in New York.
JeffB wrote:The owner there once scoffed at me for buying ready-made naem, saying it was very easy to make using one of the curing and spice packets offered in the dry goods section of the store.
Rene G wrote:Guys! No need to waste time searching for naem in Asian markets or trying to make it yourself. Your local supermarket has what you need.
Nothing goes with Mekong whiskey like Oscar Mayer chopped ham. That photo is in Cooking Thai Food in American Kitchens, the first Thai cookbook in English (as well as Thai) that I'm aware of. I bought my copy in 1979 at a little Thai market in Hyde Park.

When pictures of earth are taken from space, our planet looks blue, green etc. Have you ever wondered why our planet looks more blue?
Water exists on our planet in all the three states - liquid, gaseous and solid state. It covers about 71.4% of the Earth. This explains the color of our planet isn't it?
Water is the most common liquid on earth, and, it is vital ingredient for all living forms on earth. Pure water has no smell, taste, or color. Lakes, oceans and rivers are made of water.
Main sources of water:
The main sources of water are :
Water Conservation:
Water is essential for life to continue and flourish on this planet, like any other natural resource, it is essential we take care of it and conserve it.
Water conservation begins with being mindful of the usage of water in simple ways like:
People use up our planets' fresh water faster than it can naturally be replenished so, save water for our earth, family and community.
Conserving water in the olden days:
The traditional ways of water conserving, though less popular, are still in use and efficient. Few traditional water conservation methods in India are.
Katta is a temporary structure made by binding mud and loose stones available locally. Built across small streams and rivers, this stone bund slows the flow of water, and stores a large amount (depending upon its height) during the dry months.
Sand Bores
Sand bores provide a safe alternative for farm irrigation without affecting groundwater. This technique uses the concept of extracting water retained by sand particles. Sand particles act as great water filters by retaining the salt content at bottom and gushing pure water out. White sand is believed to yield water clean enough for drinking too.
Bamboo Drip Irrigation
Innovated by tribes of north eastern states, this technique economically uses water during dry seasons. It is practiced in hilly areas where construction of ground channels is not possible due to sloppy and stony terrain. This arrangement taps spring water to irrigate fields. A network of channels made by bamboo pipes of various diameters (to control flow), allows downward flow of water by gravity
Plants and animals in water:
There are some plants and animals that can live in water.
Animals like seals, dolphins, crocodiles and turtles can live in water whereas sea grass, duckweed and algae are the examples of the plants that can live in water.
Irrigation has essentially been used since humans first began cultivating plants. Any sort of cultivated plant requires water in order to grow and thrive. Irrigation is a broad term referring to any means of delivering water to growing plants. It can take a number of different forms, from irrigation ditches to drip irrigation and more.
There are quite a few forms of irrigation.
Answer: Tuberculosis, dysentery and jaundice.

Creflo Dollar, who heads the Atlanta-area World Changers Church International, asked congregants to donate to Project G650, a campaign to buy a $65 million Gulfstream G650 airplane. The church said it needs 200,000 people to give at least $300 U.S. dollars to fund the 18-passanger luxury plane.
The project page was deleted from the church's website shortly after it launched Friday…

Rae Sremmurd and Childish Gambino might be working on a joint project in the future, according to Swae Lee.
Rae Sremmurd and Childish Gambino recently announced that they'll be heading on tour together. It wasn't the most expected combination for a tour but it definitely sounds like it's going to be lit. Rae Sremmurd recently spoke to Billboard about how it came about but it looks like they have more in store than just a tour together.
Slim Jxmmi and Swae Lee broke down how they ended up linking up. Jxmmi says they met overseas at a studio. From their, he ended up DJ'ing one of Gambino's house parties.
"He's just a cool guy and we got the same type of vibe, so you can expect good music to come out of this." He said.
Swae chimed in about what they might have in store. "I got a laptop with about 1,000 bangers, I know Childish Gambino got about 2,000 or 3,000, who knows?" He said. "We're gonna come together and make a whole project like, "Redbone" and "Black Beatles.""
We're definitely not opposed to a Childish Gambino and Rae Sremmurd project. However, with SremmLife 3 on the way, it'll probably be a while until we get that.
They also explained why they're doing a triple disc album with SremmLife 3. Apparently, the chatter about Swae going solo was a catalyst in the move.
"We wanted to give y'all something different because it's one side saying, "Man, this person should go solo," so why don't we just end the argument and give it to you," Jxmmy said, "Then give you Rae Sremmurd so you can see why we are Rae Sremmurd and who we are as individuals."
They didn't confirm any of the guest appearances on their upcoming project but maybe we'll see Childish Gambino somewhere.

How artificial light transformed our world
FEW people today appreciate the impact the incandescent lamp made following its invention in 1879. In Brilliant, Jane Brox captures the before-and-after. Beginning with lamps carved from limestone 40,000 years ago, she expertly traces the tortuous route to artificial light. Along the way she describes malnourished peasants who chose to burn the tallow they could have eaten, and the advent of cheap kerosene – "the democratic perfection of light".
With the arrival of incandescence, farmers smashed their once treasured kerosene lamps. Artificial light has been taken for granted ever since, resulting in a sprawling electric grid and rampant light pollution. …

Governor Mary Fallin's 'Oklahoma Now' Column: Get 2014 off to a Healthy Start
January 9, 2014
Governor Mary Fallin
With the holiday season behind us, it is a good time to refocus our lives and reevaluate our goals. At the beginning of every year one of the top resolutions for many people is to lose weight, get in shape and live healthier lives.
Change can be difficult and at times seem nearly impossible, but committing to change is important for the sake of our families, our longevity and for our wallets. Bad habits can contribute to a shorter life expectancy and can needlessly drive up the cost of medical bills and health care for everyone.
The good news is – Oklahomans have begun to take notice and we are starting to see the needle move in the right direction, and our citizens are becoming healthier.
Looking back at last year we made major strides in improving our overall health as a state. Smoking rates of adults decreased from 26 percent to 23 percent; at the Capitol we opened our new fitness facility; and in last year's budget we included more money to support prescription drug abuse prevention and treatment initiatives to help citizens overcome the challenges of substance abuse and addiction.
Furthermore, after issuing an executive order banning smoking on all state property, I was proud to sign legislation into law making the ban permanent.
To take it one step further, I recently issued an executive order banning all e-cigarette products from state property. One of my top priorities as governor is to protect the well-being of our citizens, and e-cigarettes and "vaping devices" contain addictive properties, like nicotine, and emit chemicals that are harmful to people who choose not to use them.
Additionally, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 1.78 million children and teens in the U.S. used e-cigarettes in 2012, many of whom started using e-cigarettes because of the accessibility and variety of designs and flavors.
The CDC also states that about 90 percent of all smokers begin smoking as teenagers, so it is vital that we keep our young people from using or experimenting with any tobacco product.
Oklahoma's smoking rate remains high and continues to be one of the leading causes of preventable deaths in the state. Despite our recent efforts, we continue to rank in the top 10 states that with the highest smoking rate. This has to change.
Improving the health of our citizens and state continues to be a top priority for my administration and I will do everything I can to continue to help Oklahomans live longer, more prosperous lives.
I am proud to say our initiatives are working and we have seen our overall health indicators go from 49th in the country to 44th. However, we still have a lot of work to do.
In Oklahoma, obesity remains high at 32.2 percent of adults while 28.3 percent are physically inactive. That causes a myriad of problems ranging from Type-2 diabetes to a shorter lifespan.
So, how do we get healthier?
It starts with a personal commitment to living a better life. It can begin with simple choices like making the decision to go on a run after work rather than sit in front of the TV or computer, or opt for a salad and chicken breast for lunch instead of a burger and fries.
Below are more ways to help you get motivated and stay on track to more quality life.
-- Recruit an accountability partner. You are less likely to quit a routine if you have someone going to the gym and eating healthy with you.
-- Set attainable goals. Instead of saying you want to lose weight, start with 5 pounds and go from there.
-- Be active everywhere. If you have a job that requires you to sit for long periods of time, take the stairs instead of the elevator or talk on the phone standing up rather than sitting down.
-- Use free resources that are available. For example, if you're ready to break your tobacco habit, call (800) QUIT-NOW or visit www.OKhelpline.com for free counseling.
Getting in shape or quitting a habit is hard work and sometimes takes multiple attempts. Don't get discouraged.
For more ways to make fitness part of you and your family's life, visit www.shapeyourfutureok.com.

The problem, however, is that a lot of users are confused and can't seem to find the feature on their device. This is so because the Do Not Disturb mode is named as Blocking Mode on Android devices. Apple iOS devices have a trademark for the name "Do Not Disturb for their devices which does not let Android devices use the name to identify this feature.On the LG G7, the Blocking Mode blocks calls, alerts, and notifications which is similar to Do Not Disturb.
Blocking Mode and Do Not Disturb mode both have the same functions. The only difference between them is their names and the devices they operate on. Blocking Mode will prevent your device from disturbing you when you are in an important meeting or on occasions where you do not want to be disturbed.
The Blocking mode on your LG G7 can be personalized. This way, you will not miss any important alerts or emergency calls. Enabling this feature is very easy.This will only take a few minutes to enable. Below is a guide on how to set it up and enable the feature on your LG G7.
How to Enable Blocking Mode on LG G7
- Launch the Settings app on your LG G7.
- Next up, scroll down the screen till you see the Blocking Mode option.
- Now, you should see a switch. Toggle it ON to enable Blocking Mode on your LG G7.
Once the mode is activated, a small circle will appear in the status bar of your device.
How to Set Up Blocking Mode on LG G7
Below, we will show you how to edit the settings in Blocking Mode. You can select the types of alerts and sounds that are blocked when you enter the Features section. We would advise that you Block incoming calls and enable notifications. If you need the alarm clock activated, so not check this box so that the alarm will not be blocked too.
You can also choose to enable the Blocking Mode at specific times on your device. You can choose a specific schedule but the schedule for weekdays and the weekend cannot be changed. You can also select a specific start time and stop time for the Blocking Mode.
Among the useful options for Blocking Mode is letting you select specific contacts who can contact you when Blocking Mode is activated on your LG G7. If you want you can block everyone. You can set only your favorites to be able to reach you. You can also create a custom list of contacts that you want to be able to contact you when Blocking Mode is enabled.

Bryan Shirley, the founder of large format printer Bluetree Print & Design, is stepping down as a director of one of the UK's largest online print operations.
The business began 18 years ago and in 2012 merged with Instantprint, subsequently moving to 9,000m2 premises in Rotherham. Shirley has been involved with the launch of Route 1 Print and Route 1 Connect since then. Shirley says: "I've seen incredible growth while working here. When we were just a screen printer, the vision was always to get into web to print and, by a chance meeting with Adam Carnell and James Kinsella, this was achieved."
The company has become one of the fastest growing businesses in the UK, covering the entire online print space from consumer facing with Instantprint to working with large volume purchasers in Bluetree Connect. This has been Shirley's creation with a focus on automating the print purchasing process. Sarah Kilcoyne will now run this arm of the group. "After working with Sarah for more than eight years, I know she is the right person to take the helm and drive Route 1 Connect even further," he says.
Carnell and Kinsella have led a huge investment in the business, a second Screen TruepressJet 520 HD, is now being installed along with Tecnau handling and Horizon finishing equipment from IFS. But, says group managing director Carnell, the investment in people has been equally vital. "It has been an honour working alongside Shirley over the last six years. He has had a massive influence on the performance of Bluetree Group as we have navigated our way through times of change in a very dynamic print market," he says.
"Bryan initiated our people focused culture which remains one of the most important aspects of our business. He brought fun into the office and bred a culture of belonging for all members of our team, setting a high bar for us to continue. I wish him all the best in his retirement."
Gareth Ward
Adam Carnell, Bryan Shirley, James Kinsella and head of Route 1 (Print) Mark Young enjoy a recent company sports day before the announcement of Shirley's retirement. Bluetree Connect has been his project in recent years following the merger with Instantprint.

Audi Q5 hybrid engines, drive and performance
|Top speed
|Driven wheels
If you're looking at the 299 and 362bhp power outputs of the Q5 hybrids, and expecting serious performance-SUV thrills, you might be disappointed. We haven't driven the less powerful 50 TFSI e, but the 55 that we have spent time in is fast in a straight line, yet never feels like a vigorous sports SUV. It excels as a calm, quiet cruiser, with a comfortable ride and superb refinement.
Audi Q5 hybrid electric motor, 0-62mph and acceleration
The 0-62mph time is 5.3 seconds for the 55 and 6.1 for the 50, so neither model is slow. We've yet to drive the 50 TFSI e, which has exactly the same 141bhp electric motor and 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox as the 55 TFSI e, only the 50's petrol engine is less powerful.
The 55 TFSI e has serious punch if you give it everything off the line, but the reality is that it never encourages such hooliganism. It's much happier at a steady cruise, or when easing the stresses of a town commute, thanks to the excellent refinement and comfort you enjoy, whether you're in pure-electric mode or have the petrol engine running.
If you do go for EV mode, you can of course enjoy easy and near-silent progress up to fast motorway speeds. Hybrid mode shuffles between the petrol engine and electric motor as the car sees fit, and if you've got a navigation destination plugged in, it'll factor in the route to make sure you get the best efficiency by prioritising the petrol engine on the motorway and saving the battery charge for slower parts of the journey. There's also a battery hold function if you want to take control of that yourself.
The car's regenerative braking system is fairly intuitive and has an automatic setting that uses sensors to increase the brake forces autonomously in order to keep a safe distance from the car in front and maximise efficiency. It even knows if you're approaching a roundabout or junction, and varies the regenerative braking force accordingly, although there's no 'one-pedal' setting like you get in the Nissan Leaf.
Another thing that can be unnerving if you're not expecting it is when the Q5 decouples both the regenerative braking system and the petrol engine to coast freely, which it does when you lift off the throttle on a clear road. It can feel like the car's running away with you.
However, Audi reckons you get better efficiency this way rather than introducing brake regeneration if there's nothing to slow down for. It sounds complicated, but ultimately the regenerative braking force is introduced smoothly and is easy to predict, and you get used to the coasting function very quickly, so within a few hours you forget all about it and trust the car to respond how you expect it to. Unlike some safety and efficiency systems, these make it easier to relax and enjoy the car.
The Audi Q5 hybrid is no sports SUV. It's precise and composed, but not engaging, with steering that's well-weighted but short on feedback. Everything about the car feels dialled towards effortless cruising capability, with stoic stability and easy outside-lane pace whether you're in EV or Hybrid mode.
Go for one of the top-spec Vorsprung trims and you get air suspension as standard. Our time in a 55 TFSI e on 20-inch wheels and standard suspension proved that the ride comfort is supple and well controlled, without having to fork out for the expensive range-topping model.

20,000 jobs on the line as Northern NSW tourism suffers
MORE than 20,000 workers in Northern NSW will be impacted by the "devastating" coronavirus outbreak, as the tourism industry takes a massive hit.
With international travellers going into isolation, domestic air travel reduced and people told to observe social distancing, tourism bookings are plummeting.
According to Destination North Coast, the 2017 Tourism Research Australia National Visitor Survey showed that the tourism industry employed 10,028 people on a full time basis and a further 11,543 people in part time work.
This means that tourism supplies 9.5 per cent of all jobs in the region (Tweed to Mid North Coast) and a further 8307 are indirectly employed by 7000 businesses.
During normal periods, tourism delivers $7824 of visitor spending to the region every minute, or $11 million per day.
But now all that now is now disappearing.
Chair of Destination North Coast, Cameron Arnold, it has been a devastating period for the sector since September 2019.
"It started with the bushfires, then we had flooding and now the coronavirus, it has been a difficult period, but no doubt the hardest period is now, and how we survive this period and we come out to the other side, that's what we need to manage," he said.
"For the tourism industry the outlook is extremely negative.
"At the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak we had businesses down 50 to 80 per cent from the same period last year.
"Now, with the recent measures by the government, it's bringing the industry to a grinding halt."
Mr Arnold said a recent Tourism Australia Conference in Adelaide delivered a message of resilience to the sector.
"The general advice was that we will come out the other side, and we do come out we need to be ready, because the competition to get the tourists travelling again will be huge," he said.
"We are talking 140 other destinations from around the world going after the same business."
Byron Bay alone usually attracts 1.1 million visitors each year.
Destination Byron president David Jones estimated accommodation providers would be looking at "around half the normal April demand".
He said April was "normally a very robust month" for the region.
Along with the school holidays, a big contributor would ordinarily be Bluesfest Byron Bay over the Easter long weekend.
But organisers of the festival, which was tipped to attract 100,000 people, this week announced it would not proceed this Easter.
May and June were "as much a concern as April", Mr Jones said, and he's estimating those later months could be down 50 to 70 per cent on typical accommodation demand.
"To be honest the region's so reliant on the visitor economy and it's such a small shire in terms of residents, the local population could only support a very small portion of the visitor economy participants," Mr Jones said.
"I'm not optimistic the locals have the right purchasing power to weather the storm (for visitor economy participants)."

We now stock all copper bullets for those in California and other places where studies indicating that potentially toxic lead fragments disperse up to 18 inches from the impacted area. The ecological concerns of wounded animals still having lead fragments or even indoor ranges with excessive lead contaminates have pushed many changes to the way we reload.
Currently California is in Phase II for its plans to implement non-lead ammunition. "Effective July 1, 2016, nonlead shot will be required when taking upland game birds with a shotgun, except for dove, quail, snipe, and any game birds taken on licensed game bird clubs. In addition, nonlead shot will be required when using a shotgun to take resident small game mammals, furbearing mammals, nongame mammals, nongame birds, and any wildlife for depredation purposes." Other states are following this hunting example although not quite as aggressively. Just a few years ago NBC news provided information on lead poisoning at outside ranges. Poorly ventilated indoor ranges are of course the worse, with airborne particles being not only inhaled but also becoming impregnated onto clothing and shoes. Regardless of your stance on this, the public has decreed that we reduce our lead pollutants, and many of our customers are calling now and making special requests for these types of components. We now carry several of these in stock. Check our Barnes bullets.

Do not wear in a bath.
Do not think it's passingly just help a pearl to take a bath, sometimes being contacted with running water , acidic or alkaline shower gel , the soap and so on, may cause bad effects on natural pearl necklace cuticle. Chlorine in tap water is a weak acid. When this hypochlorous acid is immersed in the inner part of the pearl from the opening of the pearl, it will generate a chemical reaction process of generating calcium chloride, so that the unique halo color of the pearl disappears. And let the pearls become bleak.
Do not contact with the heat.
If you take a bath with hot water or boiled water, which the pearls soaked in will more easily damage the luster of pearls. Housewives should pay attention not to wear in the kitchen. Keep pearls away from fumes and fire, and avoid readily putting the natural pearl necklace on the kitchen next to the gas stove, indoor stove, or next to the hot hair dryer. Contact heat source in addition to make it easy for the Pearl to dry, such as the mosaic of natural pearl necklace, but also easy to melt adhesive glue, the adhesion of the stability caused by the impact and loose.
Do not wear during strenuous exercise or when you sweat more.
Especially in the case of exposure, it's easy to make Pearl loses moisture. Pearls need some moisture to keep it shiny. For example, if the weather is hot or dry, you can put a cup of distilled water next to the pearl, let her absorb the water vapor.
Do not casually believe some online remedies to clean and maintain natural pearl necklace.
Such as toothpaste cleaning, soap and toothpaste are weakly alkaline generally, at this time because the oral cavity is weak acid, so people use alkaline toothpaste, acid base neutralization can clean the mouth. Some toothpastes also have some more coarse abrasive particles, rub the Pearl with toothpaste will make the pearl hurt!
How to clean and maintain if the natural pearl necklace is dirty? It's actually really easy, sellers will be equipped with a professional velvet to wipe the pearls. After wearing ,just wipe the surface is enough, the velvet can adsorb the dust of the dust on the surface of the pearls. If it is dirty, you can dip a little distilled water to wipe the surface , But don't directly soak in water for a long term, it's actually do more harm than good, especially for natural pearl necklace,the hole of pearl accumulate water,which easily lead to the bead line mold and loose.
(1)China:one of the largest producer of pearls .According to the relevant data records,China accounts for about 75% of the world's freshwater pearls and about 95% of the world's freshwater pearls, mainly produced in Zhejiang province, Suzhou province, Jiangxi province, Hubei province, Anhui province in China. China also produces akoya sea water pearls, which mainly distributed in the South China Sea, Hepu in Guangxi, Beihai in Guangxi, zhanjiang in Guangdong.
(2) Japan: the main producer of sea water pearls, the place of production mainly in Mie Prefecture, Xiong County, Ehime County area of the Seto Inland Sea in Japan, where the sea water pearls produced is the same species of fresh water produced by China, all produced by Mashi shellfish. Due to Japan chooses the stronger pinctada, their parenting technology is better than China, and the quality of most pearls are very good, so the sea water pearls can be exported to the rest of the world.. Of course, Japan also produces freshwater pearls, due to China's mass production, so she do not need to import freshwater pearls in Japan.
(3) French Polynesia: belongs to the archipelago of the South Pacific, the largest of which is called Tahiti (Tahiti), more than 95% of the black pearl produced here, so called Tahitian pearls,it's one kind of sea water pearls.
(4)Australia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Myanmar and many other countries in the South Pacific: because of its proximity to the South Pacific region of the unique advantages, making these coastal countries rich in South Sea pearls,which is also a kind of sea water pearl. Nanyang golden pearl is a common symbol of elegance, wealth and power, these places are the main origin of the common market of the pearl. Of course, there are other special pearls, such as the conch pearls produced in Caribbean and the Bahamas, natural pearls produced in Bahrain, abalone pearl produced in New Zealand, California in the United States of America and Mexico.

I made a commitment to my constituents before the 2015 General Election that I would not vote in favour of renewing Trident.
It is no secret to my constituents that I am a unilateralist, a lifelong opponent of nuclear weapons and anti-nuclear campaigner. I have been unwavering in that view and I don't think my view will ever change.
At some point during 2016, there will be a House of Commons debate and a vote on what is described as the "main gate" decision on whether or not to renew Trident, a decision that looks likely to cost up to £167 billion for the lifetime of the project.
That is the vote that will decide the future of Trident.
I will vote against renewal of Trident when that vote happens and I hope that as many of my colleagues as possible will vote the same way.
Today the SNP have an Opposition Day "motion" on Trident.
Any vote that takes place later today is not the main gate decision that I have described above. It's not binding on the government.
This morning, Angus McNeil MP of the SNP said to the media that "this Commons vote could be the last parliamentary chance to stop this utterly awful project".
Angus is wrong.
Angus knows what he said is wrong but he said it deliberately.
He's playing games.
And Trident is far too serious an issue for political game playing.
Go ahead with your stunt Angus. Serious anti-nuclear campaigners like me won't be part of it.

How much is the maximum number of IO for OPTO22's SNAP PAC system (With wired or wireless network configuration)?
How much is the maximum number of IO for OPTO22's SNAP PAC system (With wired or wireless network configuration)?
Which SNAP PAC system are you asking about? I know that the SNAP PAC R1 or R2 can have up to 16 modules with up to 32 channels each which means a total of 512 I/O channels
I/O channels, or racks?
Each rack can have 4, 8, 12 or 16 modules.
You can have (with high density) modules up to around 250+ channels of data.
The rack can hold a controller or Ethernet Brain, the controllers can have up to 16 charts or programs running to manage their I/O or other racks.
The EB's talk back to another controller, or you can address them via another language like .Net or C# etc.
It would be more than worth your time to review the PAC System Guide;
So back to your question… Lots. Lots and lots. Thousands +. Just depends on how you chose to configure the system.
Thanks a lot for your advise…
Along the same line, how many EBs can be managed from a single SoftPAC instance? I currently cycle through each EB instance from a single chart. I was figuring 100 for my oil field app, but that was my own limit. Is it limited by the amount of memory, or are there defined limits.
Hi Marty,
Ben's out this week, but there are no "defined limits." I'm hoping this 'single chart' you mention makes use of a pointer table so you can loop through (like our I/O Enabler sample strategy does)? I'd imagine you'd hit time limitations before memory. How long does it typically take for these EBs to reply? (I'm assuming they're remote?) How often does communications go down to them?
It is a very simple question to answer (and yes, I am making a joke)… whats your sanity limit?
Since it really only comes down to the Networking subnet you are using, you can talk to a LOT of EB's from SoftPAC… Keeping track of all of them? Well, that's where the sanity check comes in.

Allsopp & Allsopp, an agency operating across Warwickshire, has launched a lettings division and has immediately scored big thanks to its involvement with Coventry City football club.
The agency is helping the club's two new signings, Peter Vincenti and Duckens Nazon, find properties to rent in the area.
"The past couple of years have seen us go from a standing start in Coventry to becoming one of the most popular estate agents in the city. All of the standards we have set in the residential sales market will now be transferred across to the lettings division. There's a strong demand for lettings so we felt this was the right time – having developed our profile through sales – to launch" says director Carl Allsopp.
"Everyone knows our connection to Coventry City through the sponsorship partnership and we were delighted to be brought on board to find homes for the new arrivals to the club and the new lettings division is ideal for those players not yet ready to buy" he adds.
"The sponsorship of CCFC has worked well for us in terms of raising our profile in the city."

omgosh! These sound amazing!! How do you make apple cider syrup. It sounds so delicious. I just got to school and I was late and I didnt eat breakfast and I would kill to sit and eat this right now!!!
cashew whipped cream
I have a great whipped topping alternative. This shit rocks:
1 cup raw cashew pieces
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
3 tbsp raw agave nectar (or maple syrup)
1 cup filtered water
Soak the cashews in 1 cup filtered water for 1 hour if they are fresh. Save any used water. Put cashews in blender or food processor. Add agave nectar. Add the orange juice. Blend.
Add water a table spoon at a time and blend until the mixture has the consistency of a mud mask, or that chocolate in the snickers commercial. When it's whirling, you shouldn't be able to see the blades at the bottom.
Pour it into a tupperware and let it sit in the fridge for a couple hours or overnight. The fat in the cashews will help it to thicken when cold.

The Potential Problem of Pain Relief By Darla Leal facebook twitter linkedin instagram Darla Leal is a Master Fitness Trainer, freelance writer, and the creator of Stay Healthy Fitness, where she embraces a "fit-over-55" lifestyle. Learn about our editorial process Darla Leal Medically reviewed by Medically reviewed by Richard Fogoros, MD on July 11, 2016 Richard N. Fogoros, MD, is a retired professor of medicine and board-certified internal medicine physician and cardiologist. He is Verywell's Senior Medical Advisor. Learn about our Review Board Richard Fogoros, MD Updated on October 18, 2019 Print More in Sports Nutrition Improving Performance Reducing Body Fat Active adults and athletes perform intense workouts often causing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Sometimes this discomfort requires a little more than a soothing Epsom salt bath. Many individuals will use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen for pain relief. These can be purchased over the counter (OTC). Consumers often feel that OTC meds are safer than prescription drugs. We purchase OTC drugs including NSAIDs without worry they could potentially be harmful. The majority of households will have a bottle of ibuprofen or other NSAID for pain relief and pop a few without thinking of any adverse health effects. Should I Be Concerned? Peter Dazeley / Getty Images According to the Federal Drug Administration (FDA), NSAIDs may increase our risk of heart attack or stroke. Because of this safety announcement by the FDA, it's recommended to remain conservative and limit our use of NSAIDs like ibuprofen. At the very least, we should discuss taking NSAIDs with our doctor. Over the counter and prescription NSAIDs continue to be widely researched because of links to increased risk of heart attack and severe gastrointestinal complications. Some research findings were unfavorable for NSAID use according to an article published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine and Research. Evidently, NSAIDs have been a significant contributor to cardiovascular events. Clinicians and doctors were also advised to remain cautious when prescribing NSAIDs to their patients. Do Your Research The FDA is an excellent source of information for consumers, especially for nutrition and certain drug warnings. It's a good idea to occasionally check the FDA for items that could be potentially harmful to our health. Without conducting our own research on food, supplements, and pain relievers like NSAIDs, we are usually left in the dark about any safety concerns. According to other research, NSAIDs can also be contraindicated for those suffering from certain medical conditions. It appears individuals with hypertension or existing heart conditions are at greater risk of increased health issues using NSAIDs) Further studies conducted on patients with prior heart attack suggested even short term use of NSAIDs placed the individual at increased risk of heart attack or death. Alternative recommendations indicated for those with existing heart conditions included acetaminophen, the familiar ingredient in Tylenol for pain relief. Tylenol may be a better fit but before taking this or any alternative option, it's important to have a discussion with your physician. Common NSAIDs Over the counter NSAIDs have been popular for years because they provide effective pain relief for sore muscles, tendonitis, sprains, headaches and menstrual cramps. Many of us consider NSAIDs an athlete's best friend when it comes to reducing pain. It appears the health risks may now outweigh the benefits. The following are common NSAIDs approved in the United States and available without a prescription: Ibuprofen (generic name for Advil and Motrin) Naproxen sodium (generic name for Aleve)Aspirin (generic name for Ascriptin, Bayer, Ecotrin) Note that some OTC cold medications also include NSAIDs, so taking them increases your total overall consumption of NSAIDs. Should I Take NSAIDs? The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is not saying to stop taking NSAIDs but offering an informational safety announcement. They felt enough evidence was collected to inform consumers of the potential of NSAIDs to increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. The positive about the FDA announcement for NSAID use is consumer awareness. It allows us the ability to make an informed decision about nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and our health. Electing to take NSAIDs remains a personal choice to be discussed with your physician. NSAIDs provide effective pain relief but are intended for short term use of no more than ten days. Using NSAIDs for longer periods should be done under the care of a physician who can monitor any adverse health effects. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!

Customer: Liffey Distributors
What we did: Implemented K8
Site link: www.liffeyd.com
Liffey Distributors is Ireland's leading distributor of forest, garden and leisure equipment tools including Husqvarna, Oregon, McCulloch and Flymo products. The company maintains a philosophy of providing customers with high standards of support and service - an approach that has ensured successful growth since its formation in 1970.
The company's previous system was operating at its limits. It was not scalable and development plans did not meet Liffey Distributors' requirements. The situation was likely to worsen with further growth and the company began the search and evaluation of alternative systems. Liffey Distributors needed a 'best of breed', fully integrated and functionally comprehensive distribution system. A product development roadmap, system support and supplier security were also priority requirements. K8 and Kerridge Commercial Systems 'ticked all the boxes' and the decision was made.
To find out more about the solutions that we offer, please contact us today.
K8 has completely changed the way we run the business for the better. The system is everything we wanted and more.

I have to share this energy as it is rather overwhelming. Mercury loves to communicate at the best of times but when Mercury moves into Cancer what needs to said is said. We really need to be careful of super emotional, almost impulsive with no ability to taper the outflow type of outbursts this energy brings.
Saturn is found working in opposition to this emotional Mercury, he is in Capricorn now retrograde, so will become over disciplined in a damaging way. Saturn at the best of times does not abide emotions, especially now.
Saturn and Mercury will meet head on around the 16th of June, a day where the sharing of what is needed for yourself and that which is good for the environment in which you live or in to actually make a difference and repair damage in families and organisations.
On the 16th of June in 1976 up to 20 000 student took to the streets protesting an Afrikaans education, the authority, the police clashed with the students, there was no compromise and hundreds of students died. Today in South Africa the 16th of June is a public holiday for remembrance of the students, it is called Youth day.
Now in the year of 2019 a healing and forgiving can take place or the anger will amount to even bigger proportions keeping this terrible energy alive for generations.
We do need to try to taper our emotions, control our anger and hold back on emotional outpouring. Write the worst most satisfying attack on who ever has upset you then dump it, burn it or tear it into millions of tiny pieces and let it go.
Understand it is going to be trying to hold in your emotions, but if you do not you may experience the uncomfortable wrath of Saturn.
Now when planets are opposite to each other the challenge and best outcome is to get them to work together. Mercury is communicating something that is upsetting, something that needs to come out into the open, Saturn is prepared to listen and bring structure to the out pouring of needs as long as it is done in a reasonable manner.
If angry hot wet emotions come pouring out, expect finger pointing and a total breakdown of a watery situation that could have been fixed if approached reasonably. But Mercury in Cancer is need driven, reason is lacking, so guys hold off the water works and angry emotional outbursts. If yo just cant, then apologise later so that a solution can be reached.
Mercury and Saturn can work well together when you can see what is actually wrong with a situation and make the necessary changes to correct things there and then. Don't dwell on the falls and anger that got you to this point, accept things are happening now let go of the baggage otherwise it will drag you down long after the deed is completed.
Yup many of us will be dealing with some or the other wet situation that has needed to be repaired for a while but now has become a problem, in some cases this feels bigger than it actually is.
Oh yes and keep cell phones away from the loo or watery areas.

Sadly, Lymphoma is much more common in companion dogs nowadays. Vets and alternative practitioners (alike) are increasingly devoting much of their time to dogs (and Cats) with Lymphoma. Older Vets will tell those who ask that Lymphoma was extremely rare in their early years of practice. Along with Osteosarcoma, Lymphoma is the most common canine cancer.
While there is limited evidence that meets modern scientific standards, increasing numbers of practitioners (alternative and orthodox veterinary) believe that changed diet and feeding practices, environmental pollution and significantly reduced activity levels correlate strongly with the increased incidence of canine cancers.
Dogs systems are called upon to digest far too much processed food, since the advent of commercial dog feed in the 1950's. Also, their evolutionary eating pattern has been subverted by over feeding which does not allow for periods of fasting which had previously enabled their metabolism to clear toxins from their systems. In addition the domesticated dog is almost never allowed to bury and retrieve a meaty bone and many have never had raw meat at all.
Our Herbalists see Lymphoma as the end result of a systemic and prolonged overload on the lymphatic system, the blood and the immune system in general, which may never have appeared without late 20th century feeding practices, but it is not the complete story. The vast majority people who approach us for help with their dogs who have Lymphoma are the most caring of owners and many of them have been trying to do the right thing by their dogs. A small number are not even guilty of any of the feeding practices that concern us, yet they too are almost overwhelmed by their sick four legged friend.
McDowell's Herbal dispensary staff, prepare a specific Lymphoma Support Mix, which includes concentrated extracts of; Bladderack, Elecampane, Dandelion, Maritime Pine Bark, Parsley, Rosehips, Wormwood, and Violet Leaves, along with Oak, Olive, Pine, Water Violet, Walnut and Wild Oat from the Bach Flower Remedies.
This Lymphoma Support Mix is given in conjunction with a powerful antioxidant extract derived from the bark of the Maritime Pine Tree, (Maritime Pine Bark Extract). Together the two support mixes have the potential to slow the growth of the cancer and boost overall health. In addition they can assist in healing localized irritation and inflammation which may have resulted from the cancer.
McDowell's Herbal Lymphoma Support Mix can be used in conjunction with other alternative medicines or with orthodox medical treatments such as surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.
The important distinction between our Herbal approach and that of traditional medicine is that; here we are aiming to boost the robust health maintenance and disease fighting systems already at work in every Dog, not just remove or kill cancerous cells – hoping they don't return.
We expect noticeable change and reduced symptoms in the first four to six weeks of having your dog on our Herbal program and ask that you submit regular reports to your McDowell's Herbal, clinical Consultant.

School calls for special investigation after account found
The state Auditor's Office has completed an investigation for the Martensdale-St. Marys Community School District.
The report released last Friday covers the period of July 1, 2009, to April 30.
The investigation was requested by school officials after they found former softball coach, Todd Verwers, was using a credit union account not maintained by the district.
The audit showed $4,258 of undeposited collections related to the softball program, including $1,450 from proceeds for athletic camps, $1,100.00 of estimated sign sales, and $1,708.00 from apparel and equipment resale items was diverted to the account.
Auditors said "it was not possible to determine whether other collections were properly deposited because supporting documentation, such as camp rosters and sales records for apparel or equipment, were not maintained."
The audit showed of the $4,258 softball collections diverted to the non-district account that $1,567 was spent to support the softball program.
The audit showed Verwers provided a $521 check to the district from the non-district account for proceeds from camps held in 2013 and 2014 which were not spent to purchase t-shirts for camp participants. The remaining $2,170 of collections diverted to the non-district account remain in the account, officials said.

- Uneven Texture
Bad ingredient
I've used different products from 111skin and i've enjoyed most of them.
From Intensive collection i've had VITAMIN C BRIGHTENING CLEANSER, VITAMIN C BRIGHTENING BOOSTER, CELESTIAL BLACK DIAMOND EYE CREAM and CELESTIAL BLACK DIAMOND RETINOL OIL.
I'm 40, I have normal skin, never had acne , but some comedogenic ingredients could cause inflammation and breakouts.
Unfortunately i didn't check the INCI on this retinol oil and after 1, 5 monts using this product i had a very bad clogged pores and cistic pimples. I've stopped using this product and check the INCI.
I was so surprised to read the first ingredient...Isopropyl myristate, wich is so comedodogenic. As a result i've had a wounded skin for two monts after extractions.
I recommend this product only if you have very dry skin..
If it's possible to replace this ingredient, will be great.
