Effortlessly reduce inflammation? I know, I know, even I cringe when someone says that something is effortless, but as someone that has "been there done that," I can say that there truly are some effortless ways to reduce inflammation in your body and most of them come with some extra benefits for your health and wellness.
This week we are taking a deep dive into inflammation, what is inflammation, what it causes, and what causes it. We are also going to take a look at some signs that your body is inflamed, and finally, I wouldn't give you all that juicy information if I wasn't going to tell you how to fix it. We are going to talk about 7 ways you can effortlessly reduce the inflammation in your body.
What do I mean by effortlessly? Well, that is the thing, as always, take what resonates for you as effortless and leave what doesn't. Some of you may find all of these items to be effortless, and some of you may have 1-2 you think, "wow, what a pain!" and that's okay because there is something here for everyone.
What is inflammation?
As we talked about in episode 031, inflammation gets a bad reputation. There are 2 types of inflammation, chronic inflammation (that's the bad stuff) and acute inflammation. In simple terms, inflammation is the body's first line of defense against invaders that it doesn't like, know, and trust.
Let's start with acute inflammation, this is the type of inflammation that is responsible for healing your body. It's why I recommend AVOIDING using anti-inflammatory medications right after injury or surgery - not to say you should suffer in pain - but you also shouldn't stop your body's ability to heal quickly, right?
When you have an injury, the first thing that happens is inflammation to start the cascade of various systems that your body uses to heal, regenerate and repair tissues.
So what about the bad type of inflammation? Chronic inflammation is when your immune system finds something it doesn't know, like, or trust and begins to turn itself on to fight it off, and the switch gets stuck to the on position.
What does inflammation cause?
A shorter answer, would be what doesn't inflammation contribute to? That answer is nothing because contributes to all the things.
When our body's immune system is stuck in the "on" position, chronic inflammation builds upon itself and generally, bad stuff happens. It usually starts with catching a cold, or otherwise getting sick, you might get an illness like strep or the flu. If it keeps going, you could end up with an autoimmune disease, arthritis (osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis), Alzheimer's, heart disease, depression, anxiety, asthma, and even the big C...yep, cancer. Inflammation is the underlying physical cause for every single one of those things.
What causes inflammation?
The main causes of inflammation fall into two main categories, food stuffs, and energetic/emotional stuffs. (There are also low-grade bacterial infections - but it all sort of works together.)
Inflammatory Foods
Let's check food first...I like to call these the big 5 IF's or inflammatory foods, they are sugar, artificial sugar, vegetable oils, gluten, and dairy.
Sugar is a common inflammation culprit. It is a highly, highly inflammatory ingredient in so many things. And you know what? If we're being honest here, if you don't have a condition that means you absolutely can't have sugar, then it's okay to have some sweet treats. Organic fruits, honey, organic cane sugar, that sort of thing is okay on occasion. I'm not advocating for getting rid of sugars everywhere when fruits and organic sugars are done the right way and in moderation, it can even be healthy and good energy promoting.
But here's the problem, most of us have some level of inflammation and or eat too much sugar all together. When you eat too much sugar, and too much is categorized by more than about 100 unbalanced carbs or unbalanced grams of sugar in a day. (Unbalanced means that it's not matched by fiber.) When you eat more than 100-120 carbs in a day of unmatched carbohydrates you are created a havoc of inflammation in the body. Many people when I first start working with them eat 100-120 or more grams of sugar for breakfast...try adding yours up and see. If you fall into this category and are suffering from symptoms of inflammation...this could be the culprit.
Most of the time these are hidden sugars in packaged and processed foods, the more of these you eat the more sugar you are eating by default as it is used as a preservative in many of these products. My freebie 10 day Gentle Sugar detox will help you learn how to spot these hidden sugars in your foods and detox from sugar without the nasty side effects.
Artificial Sugars
We all know, whether you want to admit it or not, everyone knows artificial sweeteners cause cancer directly. Did you know they also contribute to cancer indirectly, through inflammation?
If you aren't reading the studies about artificial sweeteners causing cancer then maybe you think it's all a conspiracy theory...but here is something you can relate to, artificial sugar enhances glucose intolerance. So, yes, cancers deadly, it's bad. But a far bigger problem for us as just a population and possibly a far bigger problem for you is the potential for Type II diabetes. And that kills far more people than cancer does every year.
Let's set the cancer data aside, artificial sweeteners do two bad things. One, they enhance glucose intolerance, which leads to Type II diabetes. And two, they disrupt your body's ability, your intestines, your gut biome's ability to properly digest other stuff. Sometimes what happens is, somebody is eating all the things artificially sweetened (often thinking they are helping their health and weight troubles), drinking all the diet sodas, and then they start having inflammatory reactions to other things, other foods.
What happens is, the gut becomes so damaged that everything you eat inflames further. Then you end up one of these people, "I can't eat this. I can't eat that. I can't eat this."
The first step to healing this inflammation is getting rid of that artificial sugar, getting rid of all the inflammatory foods, healing your gut really, really nicely and then slowly adding those things back in to determine what you actually can and can't tolerate. But, until you stop that artificial sweetener, it makes it really, really hard to find out and nearly impossible to stop the inflammation.
Vegetable Oils
When I say vegetable oils, it's not just the type of vegetable oil labeled as such on the bottle. For our purposes, "vegetable oil" includes soy oils, corn, sunflower oils, safflower oils, and palm oils, and any foods that are fried in them.
These types of oils have two problems. One, they're high in Omega sixes, which is the inflammatory omega. And they're very low in the Omega three department, which is the anti-inflammatory omega. They also contain really high levels of something called AGEs, advanced glycation end-products. These are highly oxidized free radicals and they reek havoc on your cellular health. Cellular health is really, really important because we've discovered through the research of epigenetics that taking in these foods not only damages your body, but it actually affects the way your genes express themselves. So, it changes the outcome for the worse, in this case, of how your genes would have expressed themselves from birth.
Vegetable oil is in a lot of things. Packaged foods will often have vegetable oils used as a preservative and it's often rancid after it sits on the shelf.
Notice that I have thus far mentioned vegetable oil, sugar, and artificial sugars as being in...packaged foods. They are common culprits that people often don't think they are consuming. It's easy to think, "Well, I'm not buying vegetable oil. I'm avoiding it my home cooking. I try to avoid it when I go out to eat." Or, "I don't go out to eat that often."
Well, if you're eating mayonnaise, salad dressings, barbecue sauces, crackers, bread, potato chips, oftentimes these oils are hidden in those foods. So make sure, flip it over, read the ingredients. Because, if you can't read it, if you don't recognize an ingredient as food, your body won't either and it will start the inflammatory process.
Gluten is highly inflammatory, and this is still a hot topic, such a hot topic. I'm not even sure why it's still such a hot topic because it is clearly proven that gluten causes inflammation.
Of all the things we talk about nutritionally, there are really two things that aren't healthy for anybody, and gluten is one of them. It's just a varying degree of how unhealthy they are. In my clinical and anecdotal experience as well as the available research, gluten has a role in inflammation from obvious inflammatory bowel disease, to not so obvious arthritis and psoriasis.
When you remove gluten, you reduce inflammation in the entire body. Sometimes that's not the main problem, but it's a really great quick win if you're having these sort of inflammatory troubles. If you have arthritis, or rheumatoid, or any autoimmune disease, any inflammatory bowel or otherwise disease, get rid of gluten.
Actually, you can enhance this benefit, by eliminating or at least greatly, greatly reducing all grains from your diet because all grains have a pr- inflammatory effect. Grains weren't always that way, but this is what has happened over decades and decades of commercial farming, and altering the DNA makeup of the plants, and all the things we do to make sure there's enough food on the planet for everyone.
Dairy is the often overlooked and oh-so-inflammatory partner to gluten. I found that the majority of people don't tolerate dairy well. They may not know it, they may even be in denial about it but it's true. If you have a problem with mucous, even if it's just seasonal, in the fall maybe or in the spring, depending on where you live. If you always have a cold, if all winter long you kind of had that snotty cold nose going on, dairy going to be the culprit for upwards of 85-90% of you. Many times people don't even realize it until they eliminate dairy from their diet.
I see people everyday scarfing down blocks of cheese, complaining about all the medicine they have to take for their allergies. They're bloated, they're waiting for their stuffy nose to clear up. They can't figure out why their tummy hurts or why they can't get a good night's sleep. And most of the time, it's the cheese on their burger, a simple sensitivity to dairy. From an inflammatory perspective, dairy causes a mucous inflammation reaction in all people. It's just what it is no matter how grass-fed, organic, raw, et cetera. It causes some sort of inflammatory reaction in all people. So, if you're experiencing inflammation, I encourage you to give up dairy.
If you are inflamed, and you give up gluten and dairy, you will get big wins really, really fast, both in inflammation and weight loss, and in overall energy, and all the things that go with it. The cool thing is, it only takes about 72 hours. If you can just go no dairy, and that's lactose and casein (you have to really read labels or not eat anything with labels), eliminated for 72 hours, you'll probably feel a whole lot better. Then test yourself by adding it back in and see what happens. In my Body Wisdom Method ™, I teach you how to do this without having to suffer through the testing of this, but it really is eye-opening to experiment with and see in 3-D if you need dairy in your life.
Emotional/Energetic Causes of Inflammation
In the emotional/energetic category we have stress, and there are numerous kinds, psychological, environmental, emotional. Stress, no matter the cause actually changes the immune response in the body, starting with a hormone cascade involving cortisol.
We now know that stress also changes the expression of our genes, turning genes on and off that contribute to inflammation and other diseases. It is proven that stress actually creates an immune response in your body. A response that is perceivable on lab work, a chemical change in your body.
What makes it so fascinating is that stress is something that most people deem for themselves to be uncontrollable or out of their control. I would ask you to think in terms of this...what else is possible? Because you have bought into a conclusion here, that stress is out of your control. It's not, and we are going to talk about some ways that you can mitigate stress if not avoid it all together.
What are some ways you can tell if you are inflamed?
Are you full of energy? Do you have skin trouble? Maybe it's cysts, maybe it's acne, maybe it's rashes, bumpy skin, sebaceous cysts even. Do you suffer from seasonal allergies? Do you have headaches? Do you have mood disorders? Are you anxious, depressed? These are all signs of inflammation, believe it or not. Chronic low low-grade inflammation symptoms to be specific. That is inflammation that's been hanging around for a while and it's starting to affect other areas of the body other than what it originally started for.
7 Ways to Reduce Inflammation Effortlessly
You can, in fact, reduce inflammation effortlessly…
1. Lose Weight.
I know, you are thinking, "wait, you said effortlessly and the first thing you tell me to do is lose weight?!?" But seriously, the method I teach for weight loss IS effortless. It's called the Body Wisdom Method ™, and it does so much more than teach you to lose weight effortlessly. You can get a taste of that in my free 7 Day Spark ... there's no tracking food or counting calories, you get to be free of that...forever.
Part of losing weight is moving your body - not killing yourself on the treadmill or pumping iron till you can't lower yourself on the toilet… but just moving your body. Exercise is by nature inflammation reducing and boosting to all the good endorphins that continue to reduce your inflammation long after you move your body.
2. Earthing.
You've heard me harp on this before - earthing or grounding is mega important, so get outside barefoot in nature. So get outside - this will work if you just walk outside and take some deep breaths. It's one of the reasons people go "get air" when they are agitated or stressed. Now you can amplify that by layering more energies in there, so the anti-inflammatory effect is amplified if you go outside barefoot. Studies show (2) this reduces pain and inflammation by 80% when you do it routinely.
If you can't be barefoot (because it's not only convenient - but I would have you challenge that conclusion) then find yourself a tree, or if you can get barefoot on some grass, get barefoot and ground yourself to earth. And this actually reduces the positive electrons in your body and has an anti-inflammatory effect, physically reducing the blood levels of inflammatory molecules.
These are perceivable benefits via scientific measurements of your body, lab results, EKGs, EMGs, et cetera.
This is something really effortless. It's something easy. Everybody can do it. Everybody has time to kick your flip flops off, even if you just walk from the house to the car, from the car into the house. If you can't get barefoot, you can go put your hand on a live tree or take some deep breaths outside and shed the inflammation in this simple way. And guess what, if you do this one...you are automatically doing some movement as we discussed in the first point here.
Although earthing and grounding are used interchangeably, I think of "earthing" as more getting outside and in contact with the earth and grounding more as something you can do anywhere even if you can't get outside - like say you're on a plane. The cool part is - the effects - the measurable effects are the SAME. What a crazy miraculous universe we live in, right?
Grounding can occur a couple ways to reduce inflammation - and stressors too. Earthing, of course, has this effect as I just mentioned, and so do certain crystals, which we will talk about in a few minutes... BUT...here's one very practical thing you can do anywhere and any time without any tools...it is using a "Grounding Cord."
It's very simple, here's how you do it, you simply sit up straight, feet flat on the floor (remember you can always layer the energies further and do this barefoot outside) and visualize a cord coming from your tailbone down into the center of the earth, energetically grounding you in the earth's safe, warm, gentle energy. Feel or see the energy in your visualization travel from the earth, up the cord and into your being and the stress (emotional, energetic, physical, and environmental), inflammation, and physical inflammatory markers begin to heal.
Another way to achieve this same grounding effect is to start at the upper legs and run the palm of your hands (hovering not touching) down the front, back, inside, and outside of your legs all the way to the ground. I find this works best while standing, but it can be done sitting too.
3. Energy work.
Theoretically, much of what I have talked about today could fall into the energy work category. Meditation, Crystals, Massage, Grounding, after all, we are just concentrated bundles of energy (thank you physics) so really all work on ourselves is energy work on some level. For this category, I wanted to touch on working with the meridians, specifically a technique I call Pulling.
This technique works best if you know where the inflammation is stemming from and can also be beneficial for acute inflammation and pain.
Place your left hand over the area of inflammation, you can hover instead of touch if you like, and face your right palm away from the body, move your left hand in a counter-clockwise motion to pull the inflammation out of the area.
If you are unable to pinpoint where this inflammation is from, you can find a qualified energy work practitioner to work with you for an in-person or distance appointment.
4. Massage.
Massage is important for self-care but can also help to reduce inflammation in the body overall. Seriously, it's science. If you need an official recommendation - I can write you a note, seriously. Studies show that massage lasting 45 minutes or longer actually lowers your levels of inflammation, specifically pro-inflammatory cytokines linked to chronic inflammation.
Local peeps should definitely check out Pure Synergy for your massage needs, they have a variety of therapeutic massage techniques available to help you with inflammation (or other issues) - tell them Audrey sent you!
5. Meditation.
We have talked many times about the benefits of meditation, and meditation goes a long way just like earthing, to reducing the inflammation in the body. Recent studies expand on the benefits of meditation by demonstrating measurable impacts on the brains "circuits" that improve health and reduce measurable inflammation in the body. More importantly, the study shows how the meditation aspect is more important than just simple relaxation.
Today's freebie is going to show you how to do exactly how to kick stress to the curb. It's a quick download of ways to meditate and reduce stress even if you don't have time to meditate, or you don't know how to meditate, you can't clear your mind, or you're not good at it. It takes away all the excuses and makes it really, really easy.
6. Crystals.
I have 2 favs for reducing inflammation. One is a tried and true and been my go-to for many years now, and that is Hematite. Hematite is very grounding, it is an iron oxide and both its color and vibrational frequency are grounding for the person.
You can place hematite near the area that has pain or needs an inflammation reduction, or alternatively, you can place it at the Earth Star chakra which is about 6 inches below your feet, you can leave it there while you sleep or even while you are Netflixing on the couch. Another way is to carry it on your person, like in your pocket or sit with it near your root chakra.
A newer crystal prescription for inflammation is aquamarine. I have recently been working with aquamarine through my newest layer of crystal healing certification and research. This one packs a powerful punch for inflammation, because of its very cooling and soothing energies.
Now you know I like the layers of science so I mix all the things to get the best and most practical outcomes, and aquamarine is no different.
Aquamarine is a beryl, which to get all science geek on you is a beryllium aluminum silicate mineral, the blue color of aquamarine is from iron. Now aside from its spiritual properties, energetically this lends itself to soothing with the color tone AND grounding with the iron. You could use this in crystal elixir which you can use topically if you are worried about the aluminum content or you could meditate with aquamarine or simply carry it on your person.
There is a third layer of science behind why this works and that is in the hexagonal structure of both aquamarine and hematite at a molecular level. The hexagonal shape of the molecular structure connects us with nature because hexagonal is the preferred structure of nature (think of honeycombs, and the molecular structure of carbon). When we align vibrationally with crystals from the hexagonal system, we are reducing the entropy (disorganized vibrations) and inflammation in our bodies as well as grounding.
Just like the energy work, if this isn't something you wish to do to yourself, check this out to schedule a crystal healing session.
7. Supplements.
Just like the foods we eat are uber important in reducing inflammation, we can help combat existing and new inflammation by making sure we supplement the nutrients we aren't getting enough of.
Important supplements to reduce inflammation include Omega 3s, Vitamin D, Vitamin C, and Probiotics and these help calm your immune system naturally. Everyone always asks what brand to use, so visit my recommendations page to check it out. (By the way, these are important for adults but super important for kids too!)
To wrap up inflammation talk...
I hope that you have found a method or methods of reducing inflammation that resonates with you.
I really want you to take away from this information, that you have the power in your life and existence to choose, you can choose to live better, you can choose to mitigate stress, you can choose to reduce your inflammation.
Ultimately you and the expression of you in your human suit is up to you and the choices you make, so work towards making good ones.
It's as simple as that, meditate and mitigate the stress, sleep well, eat well, have good energetic hygiene to reduce the inflammation in your body.

The Supreme Court collegium headed by Chief Justice of India P. Sathasivam has recommended that the Chief Justices of the Madras and the Delhi High Courts, Rajesh Kumar Agrawal and Nuthalapati Venkata Ramana, be appointed as judges of the apex court.
Justice Ramana has a chance to become the Chief Justice of India in 2021. If that happens, he will be the second person from Andhra Pradesh to adorn the highest judicial office after over five decades. Earlier, Justice K. Subba Rao was the CJI from June 1966 to April 1967.
According to Law Ministry sources, the recommendations received would be processed and the appointments cleared in three to four weeks.
With their appointment, the Supreme Court will be full strength with 31 judges, although for a brief period as 10 judges are due to retire this year.
Justice H.L. Gokhale will retire in March, CJI Sathasivam and Justice Gyan Sudha Misra in April, Justice K.S. Radhakrishnan in May, Justices A.K. Patnaik and S.S. Nijjar in June, Justices B.S. Chauhan and C.S. Prasad in July, Justice R.M. Lodha (who will be CJI for five months) in September and Justice Ranjana Desai in October.
Justice Agrawal, 60, will have a tenure of about five years. He will be the second judge to represent the Allahabad High Court along with Justice Chauhan till July. He was made active Chief Justice of the Madras High Court in February last year and appointed as regular Chief Justice in October.
Following Justice Agrawal's elevation to the Supreme Court, the list of 12 names recommended for appointment as judges of the Madras High Court is likely to be returned to enable the new Chief Justice to be appointed to have a say in the selection process.
Justice Ramana, 56, will have a tenure of about nine years. He was born in an agricultural family on August 27, 1957 in Ponnavaram village, Krishna district.
He was appointed as a permanent judge of the Andhra Pradesh High Court in June 2000 and became the Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court in September last.
10 judges to retire this year

In most cases, the main symptom of grout and foundation problems is high vibration levels of the machine itself, particularly when the trend is upward.
When facing a machine with problems of vibration, misaligned, imbalance, or severely degraded grout, consult your grouting specialist expert Alphatec Engineering.
As foundation repair specialists, we can inspect a problem machine at short notice, and give a detailed description of the problem areas – these are rarely confined to one fixed "cause", – and then propose and carry out a repair which addresses all the issues raised.
If you have a cracked foundation, separated grout/concrete cap, cold joints, broken chocks, loose sole plates, or anchor bolts that you think cannot be fixed, we can help!
Foundation Specialists
Our analyzes and foundation repairs are based on more than 40 years of experience complemented with international techniques and our own research works.
Catastrophic failure of critical equipment can be foundation/alignment related. A detailed forensic evaluation can help identify the reason for the failure, as well as provide input into avoiding and identifying potential future failures.See more about Inspection, Evaluation and Diagnosis »
Our system to repair cold joints & cracks is with an epoxy resin injection with High or Low pressure. With this method, we can repair all kinds of concrete walls, slabs, columns and piers among other concrete structures, restoring the concrete to its pre-cracked strength.See more about Epoxy resin injection »
The basic philosophy behind our approach to foundation repairs is to restore the integrity of the concrete block and to assure that it performs its functions as a vibration damping device.See more about Rehabilitation of concrete foundations »
We fix broken and loosened anchor bolts, couple them with new sections or, if necessary, replace them with new proper ones.See more about Anchor bolts repair and replacement »

The Juice is one of my favorite all-time characters. I mean, look at this cat. Dude is like 60, but still pulls chicks tighter than the chick Brady Quinn actually claimed at his debacle of an NFL Draft!
Reportedly this is OJ this Saturday, kicking it out on the town at the Kentucky Derby. You gotta give the man credit, Juice keeps them stacked tight like so many nickels and dimes. I mean, how does that go down? Just imagine the Juice approaching 3 24 year old bottle blond, silky headed pros, I mean what's that opening line?
- Juice: Hello, my name is O-
- Blondie: I know who you are, do you have any blow?
- Juice: Wanna F*&K
- Blondie: Meet my friend, Allyssaaaaaah, she's like your biggest fan, her Dad was from Buffalo!
That's gotta be how those conversations go right? I mean, where is this cat meeting these babes? What are their parents saying? It aint like they're dating Malcolm X in tandem, but it's still a reputed murderer at worst and a swole Wayne Brady act-a-like at best! I think Nas wrote a song about it called "These are Our Heros". Shaking My Head and Wagging my finger… damn, but I can't lie.. I mostly like it. Go Juice go..
And yes, you know he's banging that shat out these SHTs most properly.

Yes you can, we had those threads by the author,
but his site disappeared and maps removed, so I removed it from index.
You can add the torrent links in original threads, thanks
Awhile ago, I found a torrent for the Mapsbank U.S. and Australia topos on one of the major torrent sites.
This torrent directed you to a fake Piratebay site where you were then directed to make a text message contact for access to the files.
Not liking then feel of this setup, I went on an extensive search for a torrent that gave better access to these files.
After a long search, I finally found a freely accessible set of these maps on, what to me was, an obscure Russian torrent site.
I was able to download the entire 7.82GB folder containing 3 Australian maps, [mentioned here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] ] and 53 U.S. maps [a few of which are mentioned here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] ], a total of 56 maps.
I have installed 3 of them on my PC.
They are compatible with Garmin BaseCamp and should be uploadable to Garmin GPSs.
The torrent I downloaded them from is no longer active.
I'm thinking of setting up another torrent to make these maps available to others that might be interested in them.
I do not remember seeing any files here available through torrents.
As far as I can see, this has too many files and is too large a package to put onto a file hosting site.
Are torrents acceptable here?
Any thoughts?

OK, I'll get it together and post links to the torrent file.
It will take me a bit to get it together.
I am in the middle of a few other projects right now.
As soon as I get them finished, or at least whittled down some, I'll get onto this.
Still got a lot of cleanup and fixing to do on the leftovers from the storm that came through a couple of weeks ago.
Plus, I will have another torrent that I'll get set up also:
A complete set of USGS topo maps for Alaska in an application to use on a PC.
It can be used in conjunction with a GPS, although the maps cannot be uploaded to the GPS.
You can stitch maps together and print paper maps as big as you can print.
Tracks , routes and way-points can be created, then uploaded or downloaded.
It is 7.5GB with 12 iso files of the 11 CD set and a 12th CD containing updates and a few other miscellaneous files that may be of interest to users.

Mapsbank - Australia and U.S. Topo Maps
These are MapsBank topo maps from the defunct Mapsbank site.
There are 3 maps for Australia, and 53 maps for the individual U.S. states, territories, etc.
There is no password required or text message to be sent to a fake TPB site to be able to access these maps.
All maps are individually downloadable if you do not want all of them.
They are compatible with Garmin BaseCamp and uploadable to Garmin GPS's from BaseCamp.
Each map is in an EXE file.
Install the ones you want.
They will show up in BaseCamp's drop down map list.
My connection is not all that fast [1mbps max].
I'm on a VPN where I get disconnected quite often, and I sometimes need to shut down seeding for a while.
I'll keep uploading until at least one d/l is completed.
When you finish your d/l you will need to seed so that others can get it too.
The more people seeding, the faster it can be downloaded.
I'll get to the other map set soon.
I have the second mapset ready to upload to a torrent site.
But, the people downloading the first mapset are maxing my upload bandwidth.
I will not do the second set until there is a good group of people that have finished uploading it and are seeding it for others.
They've got 35% of it right now.
At that rate it'll be at least another 2 days before I start the second set.
I have a lousy VPN service that is slow and keeps closing my connection.
Getting the US&AUS files uploaded to others took much longer and was more complex than I had anticipated.
But, they're up and others are sharing them now as well as myself.
I finally had to bypass the VPN to get the upload finished.
I cannot do that with the 2nd map set.
It is ready to go.
I will put it up eventually.
Right now, I have other things that are of a higher priority to be gotten done.
I will get to it eventually.
And, I will do it in another thread of its own when I do.

You Overdose on Drugs
Drug overdose happens. Sometimes people are lucky and they come out of it okay. Other times they come out of their overdose with physical or mental problems. Or they end up in a coma. Or they die.
An overdose can happen when:
- You take too much of a drug or too many drugs
- You use too many different drugs or mix drugs
- You just try a drug … even once
In 2015, almost 550,000 people in the United States visited the emergency room due to drug poisoning. Over 25% of those visits were related to opioids.

For people who want to enhance their bottom, many workout exercises are available and still being developed now. Butt lift exercises or butt lift workout has been among the trendiest. Brazilian workout is a kind of butt lift workout that has been trending now.
Brazilian butt lift workout program is a workout routine that mainly aims to achieve a toned and firm buttock. The workout routine was developed by the Brazilian native Leandro Carvalho. The workout might last for at least five minutes and must be done regularly to achieve the intended result. For now, there are already variations of the Brazilian workout.
The five-minute workout is consists of five steps. First is the butt lift plié which is done as your primary routine. Each step is done for a minute. This is basically lowering the body by squatting. One should be mindful of the proper posture while doing the workout. The next step is for the next minute. It is called the touchdown. Upon lowering the body by the usual squatting, squat down lower until knees are actually bent at 90 degree. Next step is the explosive lunge wherein one has to lunge forward using the left leg and the right knee pointing toward the floor. This is done for the next minute.
Second to the last step is the single leg squat with towel. One should stand with the feet together with toes pointing forward and the right foot should be on the top of a folded towel. The last step is the squat with kick-back. Lit the right leg straight behind once you have sit back into a squat.
For beginners, the number one question before trying this kind of workout is 'is it effective?' Basically, the effectiveness of this the Brazilian workout is affected by certain factors like the frequency of doing the routines and if the routines are done properly. This kind of workout not just enhances the butt but is said to be also helpful in losing some extra pounds. The effectiveness of Brazilian workout also follows the duration of which it is done.
Based on Brazilian butt lift workout review, regularly doing the routine in a consistent duration for a long time gives a better chance of achieving great results. In terms of schedule of doing the routine, there are already types of schedule being followed. Some are actually combining techniques and routines. It actually depends on the person doing the routine. Your own judgment of whether it is effective is a significant factor. But basically, whichever you prefer to be convenient and comfortable is okay. The Brazilian butt lift workout works only if you would also follow a healthy diet. Workout alone is not enough particularly if your intake of foods is high-caloric in the first place. It involves a healthy and disciplined lifestyle. You can also consult with fitness instructor for the appropriate routine for you or perhaps read a Brazilian butt lift workout review.

A year ago, the very first shipment was booked through Adnavem – a ground breaking digital marketplace for global container freight. The cargo safely arrived at Gothenburg Port at the beginning of May, and a new business model was technically validated.
So why is this so ground breaking? Can a tech company really succeed in the traditional transport and logistics industry?
A global business
Since trade stretches across continents with many parties involved, we have all relied on human contact, fax and telephone to organize what seemed to be complicated international transport chains. This is still the way freight forwarders handles global transportation, with the slight change that technology may have upgraded their individual systems. However, in recent years, we have seen major changes in many different sectors that go beyond individual systems, where consumer and user needs have been prioritized over traditional business models. Just look at the hotel, taxi and music industries.
A digital chain that gives control
With a marketplace both the transport buyer and the supplier benefits from being digital. Transport buyers not only get access to net prices, but they can also choose the best option suited for their transport chain based on sailing schedules and trade lanes. Suppliers are displayed in a sales channel directed to the transport buyers which both enables a great relationship but also allows the supplier to charge for their actual services. Adnavem marketplace simply eliminates any unnecessary middle hands and extra costs that come with it.
What happened during the year?
The marketplace has grown with suppliers in Sweden, Norway, Finland, China, Vietnam, Taiwan and most recently Cambodia. Examples of customers are Icebug and Lotus Furniture. The company has ten employees in Gothenburg and presence in Shanghai, China. The marketplace is still under development and after the next share issue, the focus will be on further development within technology and activities around sales and marketing.
"It takes time to change a whole industry. However, it is a fact that the younger generations will not use fax or even a telephone. There is an expectation that information and data will be available online. Transparency is something you take for granted. At Adnavem, we clearly see how the transport and logistics industry will be transferred into the digital era and we are happy to sit in the driver's seat", says Andreas Wramsmyr, CEO at Adnavem.

'Pacific Rim: Amara' Webcomic Introduces Major Player From Next Movie
Audiences preparing for Pacific Rim Uprising can learn more about one of the new movie's most important players with a free, digital comic prologue launching on the LINE Webtoon platform Friday.
Pacific Rim: Amara, by writers Cavan Scott, Zhang Ran and artist BigN, follows the titular character — played in the upcoming movie by newcomer Cailee Spaeny — as she survives a kaiju attack that kills the rest of her family, only to join another couple of survivors as they start to retro-engineer their own Jaeger to defend themselves from future attacks. The series is the exclusive debut for Amara and her Jaeger Scrapper, and the only place fans will be able to find out the true origins of both.
Heat Vision breakdown
The series, which will be released online every Friday, is the result of a collaboration between LINE Webtoon and Legendary Comics, which is also publishing a second prologue to Uprising, Pacific Rim Aftermath (also written by Scott).
"This was an exciting adventure from beginning to end with a global creative team," said Robert Napton, editorial director of Legendary Comics, in a statement. "We are delighted with the results of producing our first comic with this international team from China and the U.K., and we have found the perfect distribution partner in Webtoon. Our story deepens the understanding and appreciation of not only the character of Amara, but also her homemade Jaeger Scrapper. It's an origin story that adds yet another layer to Pacific Rim, and dives into the world of Mech Racing. I hope fans enjoy it!"
The first three episodes of the series debuted online today. Pacific Rim Uprising will be released in theaters March 23.

Why Talking about Dying Matters
The importance of holding positive conversations on death and dying
There are some topics that you generally don't want brought up over a cup of tea – the topic of Brexit is still carving family and friendships in half – but what about death?
Fear of the unknown and a refusal to acknowledge what eventually comes to us all sweeps this important topic under the carpet, and in some cases, it is only addressed when a loved one dies.
At Helpd, we believe that a positive conversation about death, and dying, can be a source of comfort and an opportunity to bond more closely with friends and loved ones. Here's why:
Discussing death helps us to die as we would wish
In the same way that an expectant mother will have a clear view on where, and how, she would like her baby to be born, it makes sense to make as informed a decision as possible about the process of dying. Whilst we cannot control what will lead to our death, we can make important decisions in advance, including:
Whether you want to be resuscitated
It is possible to make an Advanced Decision to Refuse Treatment (ADRT) and/or put in place a Do Not Attempt CPR (DNACPR) order. NHS UK has some useful resources: www.nhs.uk/conditions/end-of-life-care/advance-decision-to-refuse-treatment/ as does the Resuscitation Council (UK) www.resus.org.uk/dnacpr/do-not-attempt-cpr-model-forms/
Whether you would like to die at home
According to a report from Macmillan Cancer Support, 38% of cancer patients die in hospital when only 1% of them would choose to do so1. Discussing this formally with your family in advance gives you time to make the necessary plans and provides a far greater likelihood of achieving your goal.
Whether you would like to donate your organs
Over 80% of adults in England say they would definitely, or would consider, donating their organs, but only 37% of the UK population have registered as donors on the NHS Organ Donor Register2. The UK Government is planning to change legislation – effectively creating a model whereby people must 'opt-out' of becoming an organ donor, but until such time, there is still a gap between people's stated intentions and the number of organ donors on the register.
What type of funeral you would like to have
Having a clear funeral plan in advance of your death can act as a final gift to your loved ones – removing the stress of having to negotiate with other relatives or second-guess your wishes. Dying Matters has an excellent, free template which you can use to record your wishes – from where you would like your funeral to be held to the clothes you would like to be dressed in. You can download it here: www.dyingmatters.org/sites/default/files/files/My%20Funeral%20Wishes%202017.pdf
It is a discussion founded on care
We seek to support the ambitions, dreams and expectations of our families and friends in life and so it should be with death. Discussing death is an opportunity to address one's hopes and make positive plans. If a loved one is receiving end of life care, it can be a source of great comfort to them to know that their wishes will be carried out. For the family, it provides a positive focus point and removes any uncertainties.
What is encouraging to see is the emergence of organisations dedicated to helping people discuss death – such as the Death Café (www.deathcafe.com) where people can meet face-to-face and discuss the topic in a relaxed, informal atmosphere; and Dying Matters (www.dyingmatters.org) which offers a range of practical resources from conversation guides to signposting to end of life services.
It gives you time to prepare
The more prepared you are the better – with people's estates now including vast digital records, it is important to make sure that all aspects of a person's life are included in their plan for death. As an example, Facebook will require you to prove that a user has died – in the form of a scanned death certificate, and that you are related to them, should you wish to remove an account. Sharing your digital passwords with a trusted family member and instructing them on what you want to happen with your social media accounts (and recording that this is your wish) is a positive way to remove what could be an additional worry.
Given everything that is involved, there is no reason to wait until a loved one has died to learn about the process of funeral arrangements or how bodies are cared for between death and a funeral taking place. Funeral Director Poppy Mardall has written an excellent blog that busts some myths (did you know, for example, that you do not have to have a hearse?) which you can read here: www.dyingmatters.org/blog/10-myth-busting-facts-about-funerals. There is also the question of the practicalities of registering a death and notifying the relevant authorities – you'll find clear instructions on Gov.UK here: www.gov.uk/after-a-death.
A helping hand
With all of these resources now at your fingertips, we hope that this post has provided you with the tools you need to start a very important conversation. Perhaps it's time to put the kettle on….

Pay hike hopes of around 50 lakh central government employees might get shattered in wake of the latest Reserve Bank of India (RBI)'s report. Various media reports are already doing the round that the Prime Minister in his August 15 speech might announce the hike in salaries beyond recommendations of the seventh pay commission. However, it should be noted that the government in the past had denied any such move.
Earlier, the Minister of State for Finance P. Radhakrishnan in Lok Sabha had said that the Narendra Modi's government is not planning to give any hike in minimum basic salary beyond the recommendations of the seventh pay commission.
Currently, the Central government employees are getting basic pay according to the fitment formula of 2.57 of the basic pay and if this big step is taken, it will come as a massive news for the Central government employees. Fitment factor is a figure used by 7th CPC with which the basic pay in 6th CPC regime (i.e Pay in Pay band + Grade pay) is multiplied in order to fix basic pay in revised pay structure (i.e 7th CPC). Fitment factor formulated by 7th CPC is 2.57.

Named for what they do best, "entertain," New Orleans trio The Tainerz are on a mission to bring their blend of bounce, R&B and rap to the world stage.
Comprised of 14-year-old Dallas Burke, 16-year-old Travon "T-Daddie" Mitchell and 17-year-old David "Deelö" Rayford, the Tainerz all hail from the same New Orleans East neighborhood – an area the boys all credit for helping to shape their sound while also motivating them to aspire for more.
After two years of performing together at local events and festivals as The Tainerz, the boys have built a strong following in New Orleans, and quickly gaining more fans around the country. It's their live show that truly impresses. Watching Deelö and T-Daddie move, it's hard to miss the Chris Brown influence, while Dallas' presence and confidence bring to mind a young Michael Jackson, the entertainer all three boys name as a favorite.
While promoting "One Way," their first official single since signing with Corporate America/Roc Nation in 2017, the hip hop/pop trio gained the attention of the Monster Products staff. This led to a new partnership that featured The Tainerz in the Monster 2018 Super Bowl Commercial, a new siingle release, "Monster", and a nationwide dance contest that will be announced in the coming weeks.
The Tainerz are headed to you…wherever YOU ARE!

Thanks John. I'll clean out that inbox and money is on the way!
Haha! I knew it was coming!
I'll also make you a deal on a bulk purchase. The orings, a used clutch cable, a nearly new clutch lever with a "clearanced" pivot hole and a perfectly good fuel pump assembly that only needs a rebuild. Cheeep!
edit: if you're nice to me, I will include the belt from my S1.
Plus 30% if you pick up the used o-rings in person from Aarons house.

An uncompromising critique of how the media covers topical issues, challenging traditional journalism concepts and charting fresh interpretations of news.

Do you know that one of my first enterpreneurial adventures was selling the wwf (american version, i think?) stickers to primary school kids? I was crazy, I bought them in bulks of 100 stickers for ksh 500, and sold them at 10 bob per sticker for non porpular ones and 20 bob for Big Bossman, Undertaker etc.
The venture came to an abrupt end when my kid sister, who was my salesman at her school ( I think she was 10 years old at the time), was "arrested" by the school admin and threatened with suspension. Sh etold on me at home and I got into serious trouble with my parents.
Anyway, I never was a true fan but I alsway thought that for that amount of fighting there should be more bleeding than what I saw. I know many people whou will be very dissaointed to learn that it is all acting.

The fight simulations are planned way in advance and moves rehearsed ahead of the event. If the script says so has so has to win, then that's the way it will play out. But I still find it hard to believe that despite all this acting being so evident, the fans pay so much to attend the events and still cheer wildly. So Rapudo, it really does not matter if people realize the fights are fake. The excitement might still get to them.

UK advertising expenditure has grown 1.3% during Q1 2017 to $5.3 million, according to the latest Advertising Association/WARC Expenditure Report. However, that marks its slowest growth rate since Q2 2013.
Whilst traditional media fell with TV ad spend down 6.2%, digital formats had a good quarter. For national newsbrands, digital ad income was up 25.4%, whilst radio grew 8.1% and out-of-home rose 27.6%.
Total Internet advertising grew 10.1% year-on-year, with mobile formats noting the highest increase – up 36.2% compared to the previous year.
Search advertising expenditure also performed well with one in four pounds of UK ad spend attributed to search.
James McDonald, Senior Data Analyst at WARC, says:
"The latest data show that large retailers – particularly supermarkets – and major food brands reined in their TV spending by 25% during the first three months of 2017, instead committing to cutting prices on the shelves as household expenditure wanes."
However, the outlook for total ad expenditure in 2017 has been downgraded to 2%. According to McDonald, higher inflation rates and slower wage growth are squeezing budgets. Business confidence has been low given the latest election results.
"These underlying stresses have resulted in a downgrade to our full-year expectations for UK ad market growth, almost all of which will come from digital formats," McDonald noted.
Stephen Woodford, Chief Executive at the Advertising Association expects the overall market to remain fairly resilient, but hopes that the government will focus on "business beyond Brexit".

Most people know someone who's made a lot of money investing in the market, but sadly most also know people who lost lots of money too. To become successful, you to to be able to take advantage of good investment and recognize and get out of bad ones quickly. You will improve your chances of getting returns by researching and minimizing transaction costs by taking a more passive strategy.
Before investing with a broker, investigate online to see what their reputation is like. If you take a little time to investigate the organization and understand their business practices, you will help to protect yourself against investment fraud.
Always maintain realistic expectations about your investments. Everyone knows that wealth through the stock market does not happen overnight. Success comes from a long term strategy of responsible financial investment and management. Have realistic expectations and you will be more likely make smart investing decisions.
Set your sights on stocks that produce more than the historical 10% average, which an index fund can just as easily supply. In order to calculate your possible return from a stock, you want to add together the dividend yield and the projected growth rate. Stock with 2% yields and 12% earnings can result in a 14% return.
Always look over your portfolio and investing goals every couple of months. This is because the economy is changing all the time. Some sectors will do better than others, and it is possible that some companies will become obsolete. It may be wise to invest in some financial instruments than others, depending on the time period. It is of critical importance that you keep an eye on your portfolio and adjust to changes, as necessary.
For the most flexibility, choose a brokerage company that offers both online trading when you want to make independent investment decisions and full service when you do not want to choose your own stocks. This gives you the best of both worlds, allowing a professional to handle half of your investment choices, and you to deal with the rest. This strategy will give you the assistance you need to succeed in your investments.
As a beginner, you would be wise to plan keep your plan for investing as uncomplicated as possible. Although you may be tempted to diversify quickly, find one method that works well before venturing out into other avenues. It will save you money in the long run.
Damaged stocks are okay to invest in, damaged companies are not. A downturn in a stock can be a buying opportunity, but be certain that it's merely a temporary dip. Sometimes companies miss vital deadlines because of small errors and that can lead to a temporary loss of stock value. Although, you have to keep in mind that companies which have had prior financial indiscretions have a higher chance of failure and possibly will not recover.
Most people do not realize how beneficial more established, long-term stocks are compared to penny stocks from starting out organizations. It's good to have a mix of companies that have great growth potential as well as some from major companies in your portfolio. The more secure companies with consistent growth will allow you the safeguard to take a few risks with newer companies.
It is important to remain flexible with respect to the price of a stock. The more spent on an asset in comparison to the profit it will give, the less return you will receive. Some stocks look like a terrible buy at a high price, but they appear like a great value stock once they've dipped.
If you are going to use a brokerage firm when investing in a market, be sure that the firm is trustworthy. There are a lot of firms that promise to aid you in making money when it comes to the stock market, but they're not properly educated or skilled. The Internet is one excellent resource for evaluating brokerage firms.
If you live in the United States, open a Roth IRA and fund it to the maximum. Even middle- and working-class citizens qualify for an IRA as long as they are earning an income. This type of investment has so many benefits and tax breaks that even if there is a medium level return, it can generate a large yield.
Consistently look at your portfolio. Monitor your portfolio and be sure your stocks perform well and the market conditions are favorable to you. However, you should take a break once in a while. Checking your portfolio too often can be stressful, and the volatile nature of the market can cause unnecessary stress.
The stock market offers riches to some and disaster to others. This is something that happens frequently. Luck can have a role in your success, but the more you know about investing, the better you will tend to do. Use the tips in this article to help you to make investments that will pay off.

HOPEFUL reality show stars hit the red carpet at the launch party of Wales' answer to The Only Way is Essex (TOWIE)
The 19 cast members of Cardiff Born Cardiff Bred were revealed at a lavish launch party in the capital on Friday.
And the prospective stars – hoping to emulate the popularity of new reality shows like TOWIE and Made in Chelsea – glugged pricey Moet and Chandon champagne as they partied late into the night at trendy bar Gio's in Mill Lane.
City bands Electric Company and Asteroid Boys played at the bash, while guests watched MTV reality show Geordie Shore on big screens at the exclusive hangout before the cast arrived in limousines.
Show creator Sarah-Jayne Farthing said she had more than 1,100 applications to be on the show, but had whittled the list down to a final cast of eight women and 11 men.
Miss Farthing said she had tried to capture the diversity of people living in Cardiff in the casting process.
She added: "Obviously there's a bit of a market for this sort of show.
"People want to see the rough of Cardiff, the rich of Cardiff, the glamorous side and the real side, which is why I have got a really eclectic mix of people together."
The cast includes a single mother and also Miss Farthing's brother Philip, who hopes the show will help him turn his life around after spending 19 months in prison for deception before his release on Christmas Eve.
Mr Farthing, who turns 28 today, said the group had met for the first time at a photoshoot last week and he thought they would all get along.
The father-of-two said: "I think you'll always have bitchiness in every work environment but we are going to get along, touch wood."
Modelling agency boss Miss Farthing, 25, told Wales on Sunday she had turned down an offer from an unnamed music television station to screen the show as producers had wanted her to recast.
The programme will instead go out in weekly 30-minute instalments online from September, via www.cardiffborncardiffbred.co.uk - and there have been rumours of a BBC3 television pilot.
"Viewers can expect to see tears and a lot of laughter; Welsh people – and specifically Cardiff people – have a unique sense of humour," added Miss Farthing.

Manchester United's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has Atletico Madrid's Andrea Berta at the top of his shortlist for the director of football role at Old Trafford, according to reports.
United have been heavily criticised for their approach in the transfer market while Jose Mourinho clashed with Woodward this summer over the need to recruit a new attacker, as well as a new central defender.
Mourinho was also open to selling Anthony Martial this summer but the idea was vetoed by Woodward, who wanted the 22-year-old to remain at Old Trafford.
Woodward is now looking to recruit someone who can act as a link between Mourinho and United's hierarchy and believes a director of football would be the best approach.
According to the Evening Standard, Berta is Woodward's top target following his impressive success in the transfer market with Atletico Madrid.
Berta, who has been with Atletico since 2013, was responsible for the club's key signings including Jan Oblak and Jose Gimenez, while he also played a crucial role in convincing Antoine Griezmann to reject Barcelona and sign a new contract this summer.
The Italian is highly regarded in Europe and has been hailed as a miracle worker for Atletico.
'Berta is a champion,' Italian agent Dario Canovi said in 2016.
'In these years at Atletico he has always achieved good results and gained money. He finds important players without paying too much, he has done miracles in Madrid.'
Juventus' sporting director Fabio Paratici is also on Woodward's radar.
The United executive is also considering Paul Mitchell, who has worked at Tottenham and Southampton but is now at RB Leipzig.
