While the Canadian capital markets were volatile in 2017, market activity in the Canadian cannabis sector has achieved unprecedented highs. The $245-million investment by Constellation Brands, a NYSE-listed producer of beer, wine and spirits, in TSX-listed Canopy Growth in the fall of 2017 sparked interest across North America in the Canadian cannabis industry.
Since the Constellation Brands investment, capital markets activity in the cannabis space has soared. In the first quarter of 2018 alone, over $1.4 billion of equity was raised by cannabis companies listed on Canadian stock exchanges.
Against this backdrop, we have summarized below some of the significant developments in the cannabis sector and expected trends for 2018.
Second Reading Passes
After much speculation and debate, the federal Cannabis Act, which will legalize access to recreational cannabis and regulate the growing, production and distribution of recreational cannabis in Canada, was passed by a 44-to-29 vote on March 22, 2018, at second reading in the Senate of Canada. This marks an important milestone for the Canadian cannabis industry, as many feared that the Act would get bogged down in the Senate.
Currently, the Cannabis Act is being reviewed by five Senate committees (Aboriginal Peoples; Legal and Constitutional Affairs; National Security and Defence; Foreign Affairs and International Trade; and Social Affairs, Science and Technology), with the aim of having it receive Royal Assent by July 2018.
The Cannabis Act assigns significant responsibility for the legal framework of recreational cannabis to the provinces and territories. As a result, the provinces and territories have requested a sufficient period of time between Royal Assent and enactment of the new law in order to allow for the orderly transfer of cannabis products from federally licensed producers to provincially or territorially authorized distributors and retailers. The Government of Canada has indicated that it will accommodate this request by providing for an 8-to-12-week transition period.
Health Canada Proposes Cannabis Act Regulations
To support the implementation of the Cannabis Act, regulations will need to be enacted. On November 21, 2017, Health Canada published a consultation paper and launched a 60-day public consultation to solicit input on the regulatory approach. Health Canada received 3,218 online and 450 written submissions on the consultation paper. Most of the comments centred on packaging and labelling, security and facilitating access to the industry by "micro-cultivators."
Health Canada does not intend to pre-publish draft regulations for public comment. The final regulations will be published as soon as possible following Royal Assent to the Act.
The "Sessions Effect"
In January 2018, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions rescinded three memos, collectively referred to as the Cole Memorandum, that were adopted in August 2013 under the Obama administration. The Cole Memorandum signalled a shift of government priorities away from strict enforcement of federal laws regulating cannabis and toward a more lenient approach in states that had enacted laws legalizing cannabis and implemented strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems to control the cultivation, distribution, sale and possession thereof.
Within days of Sessions rescinding the Cole Memorandum, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) issued a notice advising market participants that it was considering whether the existing disclosure-based approach for issuers with U.S. cannabis-related activities, set out in an October 2017 CSA notice, remained appropriate. In February 2018, the CSA provided further guidance on staff's disclosure expectations for issuers with U.S. cannabis-related activities. The February notice reiterated the original guidance provided in October 2017 but included additional disclosure requirements, including the requirement to quantify an issuer's balance sheet and operating statement exposure to U.S. marijuana-related activities and disclosure regarding whether an issuer has obtained legal advice regarding compliance with applicable U.S. state regulatory frameworks.
Opening of the U.S. Equity Markets
The Sessions Effect did not cool U.S. investors' appetites for cannabis stocks. On February 27, 2018, shares of Cronos Group began trading on Nasdaq, becoming the first Canadian cannabis company to be listed on a U.S. stock exchange. Shortly after listing on Nasdaq, Cronos announced a $100-million cross-border bought deal offering, co-led by GMP Securities and BMO Capital Markets. This was the first cross-border offering by a cannabis company conducted pursuant to the multijurisdictional disclosure System adopted by the United States and Canada and only the second public offering led by a Canadian-bank-owned dealer.
Given the uncertain regulatory environment in the United States and the legal impediments facing U.S. cannabis companies, we expect many U.S. investors to continue to look to Canadian cannabis companies as advantageous investment opportunities. As a result, we anticipate more Canadian cannabis companies listing on U.S. stock exchanges in order to facilitate capital raising efforts in the United States.
BMO Enters the Fray
Financing of the Canadian cannabis industry has generally been dominated by the independently owned investment banks. This changed in 2018 when BMO Capital Markets co-led bought deal offerings for each of Canopy Growth and Cronos Group. The other Canadian, U.S. and global bank-owned dealers appear to be sitting on the sidelines – for now. We expect to see other Canadian-bank-owned dealers, even those with U.S. operations, jumping into the fray once recreational cannabis is legal.
Migration North?
Given the legal uncertainty in the United States, several cannabis companies with U.S. operations have listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE). Unlike the TSX or the TSX Venture Exchange, the CSE does not restrict issuers with U.S. cannabis-related activities from trading on the exchange. In March 2018, the shares of Cannex Capital Holdings Inc., a cannabis company based in Washington State that claims to be the biggest in that state, began trading on the CSE. Cannex is one of 63 CSE-listed cannabis companies, including over 14 companies with US. operations.
Big Pharma Wants In
The race is on to secure supply of cannabis products in advance of the enactment of the Cannabis Act. Many pharmacies, including Shoppers Drug Mart and Pharmasave, have applied to become licensed sellers of cannabis products and have entered into supply agreements in anticipation of the opening up of the recreational market. Even though most provincial distribution frameworks will be controlled by government-owned subsidiaries, provinces like Alberta and British Columbia have proposed a private retail framework, which could prove to be lucrative to pharmacies with operations in those provinces.
Another growing industry trend is the entry of Big Pharma. Since 2016, CannTrust Holdings Inc. has been partnering with Apotex Inc. to develop new products that will make it easier for patients to use medical cannabis. In March 2018, privately owned Tilray Inc. announced a strategic alliance with Sandoz Canada Inc., a generic drug maker, to develop and sell medical cannabis products carrying both logos.
We expect to see more partnering between national and international Big Pharma and the cannabis industry in 2018, as growing Canadian cannabis companies aim to gain access to the scale, credibility and experience that the pharmaceutical companies have to offer.
Not Out of the Woods Yet
There remains much skepticism regarding the cannabis sector. In an unhelpful turn of events, three Canadian cannabis companies recently came under attack for questionable conduct by insiders.
In February 2018, Maricann Group Inc., a CSE-listed company, announced in the middle of a public offering that the Ontario Securities Commission was conducting a review of the timing and reporting of trades in securities of the company by certain insiders and that a special committee had been appointed to review the matter. The underwriters backed out of the public offering.
In March 2018, the Ontario and Saskatchewan securities commissions, in reasons released in connection with the hostile takeover bid made by Aurora Cannabis Inc. for CanniMed Therapeutics Inc., criticized certain directors of CanniMed for sharing material non-public information with the hostile bidder. The behaviour did result in private litigation, although this was dropped when Aurora and CanniMed came to terms on a friendly deal.
Also in March 2018, a U.S.-based hedge fund raised concerns about Aphria Inc.'s proposed purchase of Nuuvera Inc. at that time. It was subsequently reported in the media that neither company had disclosed to shareholders voting on the proposed transaction that certain insiders of Aphria held shares in the target company. The disclosure would have been required if the transaction had proceeded by way of a takeover bid, but it was not a mandatory line item in the proxy circular form used for the acquisition. The omission left many questioning whether the disclosure should have been made nonetheless.
In March 2018, a German court stopped the government's tender process for 10 cultivation licences tied to long-term contracts for the supply of 6,600 kilograms of medical marijuana, on the basis that the timeline to respond was too short. A number of Canadian companies were shortlisted for the licences, including Aphria, MedReleaf Corp. and Canopy Growth. Although producers can continue to export medical cannabis to the German market in the meantime, the expected impact of the delay on the selection of the successful bidders resulted in reduced price targets for a number of Canadian cannabis companies.
The Canadian cannabis market was dealt another blow by the Barron's cover story on March 30, 2018. Barron's issued a strong warning that Canadian pot stocks were overpriced, noting that "today's investors are effectively paying 15 times the industry's cash flow five years from now." The article also raised price-forecast concerns, speculating that the rapid build-out of capacity by the 94 licensed producers in Canada created the potential for a supply glut that will drive down prices and, moreover, that recreational users will not be prepared to pay higher prices for premium brands. This news, coupled with the recent German court decision, leaves us to wonder if the cannabis frenzy will subside in 2018, to be replaced with more measured expectations.

Injury ends season for Kilkenny star Kelly Ann
Kelly Ann Doyle
Kilkenny were winners and losers when beating Cork in the National Camogie League final on Sunday. Hours after celebrating the historic success it was learned that one of the star players could be sidelined for up to a year.
Driving attacker, Kelly Ann Doyle from Piltown picked up an injury against Cork in a League game in Dunmore earlier, and now it has been confirmed that she severed a cruciate ligament in her knee.
"This was awful news," said Kilkenny manager, Ann Downey, when confirming the diagnosis.
"She was flying. She was great against Cork in the League. It is so very, very unfortunate. She was playing the best camogie of her career."
The former minor and intermediate All-Ireland medal winner faces sugery; then a lengthy recovery followed by serious rehab that could rob her of the best part of 12 months from her career.
"She will be a big loss to the squad and her club," Ann Downey continued. "She ran up some massive scores. She is young and she was going well."

received this promo a few days ago from Germusica Promotion and I can
only say I'm speechless! We

Maiden. The production is very good with a crystal clear sound and the
music is so catchy it should
come with a warning label. I promise you that you will be shouting along
to hymns like; "Into
the Dark", "Crucified", "Falling from Grace" and "Midnight Sun"
in no time.
album has everything that a Melodic Metal and a Power Metal fan could
ask for. You get rip roaring guitar riffs, great tight drumming and very
catchy and hummable songs. I know for a fact that some people hates
catchy and happy music, but to me, this isn't wimpy or sappy, just very
memorable and melodic.
I am very impressed and I can only advise you to save some money, so that you can buy this melodic masterpiece from the moment it hit the stores in February. ONE thing is for sure; I already consider my self a huge BLOODBOUND fan!

Most people in North America currently use a storage tank water
heater to provide hot water in their homes. At ProEnviro Construction,
we have a better solution and we are here to help you understand
the pros and cons of a tankless water heater. A storage tank
water heater keeps water hot 24 hours a day, even while you're
at work or sleeping. A tankless hot water heating system, on
the other hand, does not store hot water. It heats the water
as you use it, providing endless hot water. There are additional
links at the bottom of this page which can help you in the selection
of specific units that would be best for your home. Please
review this section thoroughly.
What are the advantages of
a tankless system? A tankless water heater also known as
point of use water heater or on demand units, turns on when
you open a hot water faucet and turns off when you close the
faucet, so the energy that is consumed is only for the hot water
that is being used. Since there is no storage of hot water and
thus no constant heating and re-heating of stored hot water,
you're not wasting energy heating water when you don't need
it, such as when you're sleeping or not at home. This energy
savings translates to dollar savings for you and reduced impact
on our environment. Furthermore, since a tankless water heater
heats the water as you use it, you can have an endless supply
of hot water, provided you size the unit appropriately. Tankless
water heaters are also designed to last for 20 years and are
smaller than tank units.
How do they work?
When a hot water
tap is opened, the cold water enters the heater and triggers
the heating elements or burners to turn on. Your hot water tap
acts as an ignition key for the energy used to heat the hot
water you need. The water is then heated as it flows through
the heating elements or heat exchanger. As you change the water
flow, a water valve or thermostat controls the heating elements
or burner flame to maintain a constant temperature. The amount
of energy used is always proportional to the volume of hot water
being used. When the hot water tap is turned off, the system
shuts down. The water temperature
can be adjusted to produce outlet temperatures ranging from
100° to 140° F.
How can a tankless water heater heat water instantly?
When you open a faucet, the flow of the water triggers the heater
to turn on. Whether you use gas or electricity, the powerful
gas burners or electrical elements will turn on, rapidly heating
the water as it passes through the unit. The water is heated
instantly, and the time it takes to obtain hot water is directly
related to the distance the hot water has to travel from the
water heater to where hot water is being used. The burners or
elements then shut down when you shut off the hot water. The
energy that is consumed is only for the hot water that is being
How much money can I save?
Depending on which model of tankless water heater you purchase,
and what size storage tank you have now, and if it runs on gas
or electricity, you could save anywhere from 11% to
69% off your hot water heating bill. How? Most homes
use hot water for a cumulative total of about one hour per day,
yet they typically keep 40 or 50 gallons (oftentimes more) of
water hot 24 hours a day. Having a system that eliminates the
storage and heats water only as you use it can dramatically
reduce your energy consumption.
Can it really provide an endless supply of hot water?
Yes. Because storage tank water heaters store a finite amount
of water, when that amount is used up your shower goes cold
and you have to wait for the heater to heat the water back up
(this is known as recovery time). Because a tankless water heater
heats the water as it passes through the heater, you can never
run out, provided flow limitations are not exceeded.
Are there other benefits of a tankless water heater?
There are many advantages of having a tankless water heater
in your home. Besides the money savings, endless hot water and
smaller impact on the environment, a tankless water heater:
Will I still get the hot shower I'm used to now?
Yes, provided you buy the right tankless heater for you. Tankless
water heaters are able to function at a variety of temperatures
that you can choose, and can produce hot water at the same flow
rate as your standard single-headed shower provides now (since
1992 all showerheads are designed to deliver a maximum of 2.5
gallons per minute, as mandated by federal legislation).
Will one tankless water heater do my entire house?
Yes. You must choose the size model to suit your home's hot
water needs, which is based upon the maximum flow of hot water
you need at any one time. We sell tankless water heaters that
are capable of handling one shower at a time and others that
can sustain a maximum of two showers at a time.
What if I have very hard water?
Since tankless water heaters do not store hot water, minerals
do not have as much of a chance to settle onto the heater. Therefore,
you won't see the same corrosive or scale build-up problems
with tankless water heaters that you do with storage tank water
heaters. And it is fine to use a water softener with a tankless
water heater, if you choose.
What limitations do tankless water heaters have?
Because this type of water heater heats the water as you use
it, the volume of hot water that it can deliver is directly
correlated to the amount of its energy input. The bigger the
burners or heating elements in the unit, the higher the volume
of hot water that it can deliver. Today tankless water heaters
come in various sizes to suit most homes' needs. Even if you
need to be operating multiple showers at once, tankless water
heaters can keep up.
How do I properly size a tankless water heater for my home?
You need to choose the model that can deliver the volume of
hot water to meet your needs. The best method for sizing this
type of water heater is to know how many showers each model
can run simultaneously. We have models that can run either one
or two showers at a time. Our most popular sized model is the
one that delivers one shower at a time. (Remember, although
it will only deliver one shower at a time, it can do so endlessly,
shower after shower after shower.)
Can I fill a hot tub with a tankless water heater?
Yes. Because tankless water heaters provide an endless supply
of hot water, you can fill a tub of any size. It is only a question
of time, meaning that our larger units can fill a tub faster
than our smaller units. Keep in mind that some tubs draw water
at high flow rates, so it may be necessary to limit the flow
so that the tankless water heater can adequately heat the water
that is being called for.
Is this a new technology?
No. Europe, Asia and South America, where energy costs are more
expensive than here in the U.S., have been using tankless water
heaters for 75 years. Controlled Energy Corporation has been
selling and supporting tankless water heaters in the United
States since 1979. However, most Americans are just now learning
of this technology and its benefits.
What is a point-of-use water heater?
A point-of-use water heater is a very small water heater, tank
or tankless, that is designed to be installed at the point of
use, thereby eliminating a long pipe run. They are mostly sized
to supply hot water to one specific application, usually a sink.
These can be either a mini storage tank or a tankless water
heater. A common application is a remote sink, such as a bathroom
in an office building or a service station. The other sensible
application is for distant sinks in the home that typically
take too long to receive hot water.
What are the advantages of a point-of-use water heater?
Point-of-use water heaters are usually used for one of two reasons.
One is to supply hot water to a remote location that is not
served by a larger water heater. The other is to eliminate the
wait time for hot water you may have at a particular faucet.
Both offer the advantage of not having to wait for hot water.
You can install a point-of-use water heater right at the source,
e.g., under a sink. Therefore, when you turn on the faucet you
have hot water instantly available to you. This both eliminates
your wait for the hot water and saves water, our most valuable
resource, from being wasted down the drain as you wait for hot
water to arrive.
Can I use point-of-use water heaters for applications other
than a sink?
Yes. You can place a mini storage tank (see Ariston) in-line
with your main water heater. These are available in 2.5-gallon,
4-gallon and 6-gallon sizes. These provide you instant hot water
at your washing machine or dishwasher, for example, and by the
time you exhaust that supply, the main water heater that serves
these locations has caught up, so you have a continuous supply
of hot water.
Are your products difficult or expensive to install?
No, they are not difficult to install. The installation expense
depends on many factors. Although tankless water heaters are
"on" for only a small fraction of the day in most
home uses, when hot water is being called for they require a
lot of energy because they are heating water instantly. Because
of this, AquaStar (gas tankless water heaters) sometimes require
expansion of the vent pipe and PowerStar (electric tankless
water heaters) sometimes require the electrical service in the
home to be upgraded.
Can any plumber install your products?
Yes, they should, after all it is just another appliance. But
experience has shown us that many will not because, as they
say, they are not familiar with the unit. ProEnviro
Construction will work with the approved
plumber who is familiar with the tankless hot water system installation
that would meet your requirements.

M. Bohlke Corp. is a wholesale distributor of wood veneer, imported lumber and other wood products. We mainly sell complete architectural logs/flitches for the U.S. and Canada markets. In addition, we do export a large amount of material in complete pallets and container loads to global markets around the world. There are rare occasions when we supply veneer on a smaller scale, for very specialty projects.
Generally speaking, our sales team works with representatives from architecture firms, automobile, aircraft and marine building companies, as well as door, flooring, millwork and panel suppliers.
Due to the nature of being a wholesale distributor, we are often unable to service small volume requests for the following:
Contact us if you are unsure if your request fits into our realm of possibilities. If we are unable to service your request directly, we may be able to put you in touch with one of our vendors.
Our lumber department operates under a wholesale model, too, but in typically smaller quantities than what we sell through our main veneer business. Originally, we formed our imported lumber business as an additional resource for our veneer customers. This allowed our customers to match hard-to-find, imported lumber with their veneer purchases. Today, M. Bohlke Lumber is evolving.
In addition to square edge, boules and live edge slabs, M. Bohlke Lumber also has a plethora of bases, various boards and other wood pieces suitable for many forms of woodworking. We are working on our upcoming service called "Lumber by Appointment." Lumber by Appointment will be available to those in the Greater Cincinnati area or passersby who wish to make an appointment. More details to come.
Although we adhere to a 50 board foot purchase minimum for our square edge lumber, our live edge slabs are available for individual sale. You can browse a portion of our offerings here.
Contact us today for your imported lumber needs. If we are unable to service your request directly, we may be able to put you in touch with one of our vendors.

You can see how dire this situation is just by looking at the graph showing historic inventory levels for the last 13 years. Clearly more aggressive strategies need to be taken to find the right home that you're looking for. But what can be done? Here are some clear, east-to-use tips for finding the right luxury home in a low inventory market.
Tap Into the Sprague Pipeline
Every week we are regularly listing beautiful homes for sale in Edina, Minneapolis and Southwest suburbs on JoshSprague.com. By visiting our website, you are able to view many different properties actively for sale, as well as preview properties that will be coming to the market soon. Subscribe to our real estate blog to get notified of new and upcoming homes for sale. On our website, we also have listing pages and blog posts that talk about each listing and unique property features in detail. On the property pages, we also have high quality digital photo galleries and videos that show off the home, as well as the surrounding neighborhood, parks, lakes, and community. A great example of this would be our home video for 3248 Dupont. If you still haven't found a property, you can visit our property search page where you can search the entire MLS for exactly the type of property you are looking for. Search by price, location, home type, size, bedrooms, baths, and more.
Leverage The Sotheby's Network
Every week our Lakes Sotheby's offices in Edina and Wayzata send out a list of pre-mls and non-mls listings. These cover the hottest markets like Edina, Lake Minnetonka, and Minneapolis. Most of the pre-mls listings come out 4-6 weeks before the actual listing hits the MLS. So you have an advantage working with a Lakes Sotheby's agent. Moreover, we have the highest quality properties on the market in every price category, including the upper bracket! So collaborating with Sotheby's is a key strategy in finding inventory in a limited market.
Deep Dive the Neighborhood
When we are finding inventory for clients in a limited market, we have to go beyond the call of duty. Sometimes we will mail an entire neighborhood when a client tells us they are looking for a new home there. If the client tells us what they need, we can use our marketing force to uncover potential home sellers and off market listings. Just last week we did this for a client looking for a one level townhouse in a luxury subdivision. We got three calls back in response to our mailing and networking efforts! Most importantly, our client got to see the home and consider an offer on it! As one of the best real estate agents in Edina, I provide full-service Buyer and Seller representation. I have nearly 20 years experience and specialize in the Edina, Minneapolis, and Southwest metro housing markets. I have the experience, connections, and drive to find homes for you under any market conditions. Contact me anytime and we will work on more solutions for finding inventory in a limited market!

Thai Green Curry with Vegetables
Following on from the amazing recipe I shared recently for Raw Carrot and Ginger Soup, I would like to share another absolute delight from the kitchen of the beautiful Amatara Resort in Phuket!
You can make this curry with any combination of vegetables that you desire, but great options are baby corn, carrots, courgettes, mushrooms, broccoli, and red pepper.
The inclusion of fresh basil is one of my favourite parts of this recipe, and really helps to create the distinctive and delicious flavour of the dish. It also doesn't hurt that basil is bursting with goodness, such as vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, manganese, copper, and calcium!
- 25g green curry paste
- 250ml coconut milk
- 50ml vegetable stock
- 10ml soy sauce
- 3g kaffir lime leaves
- 5g coconut nectar
- 20g eggplant
- 15g fresh basil leaves

Fruit & Fructose
If you have been following my blog for a while then the chances are you will have often heard me speak of the dangers of consuming refined sugars!
It is widely acknowledged that too much of the sweet stuff can lead to weight gain, heart disease, disruption of the hormones, fluctuating energy levels, premature ageing of the skin and more! What's more, is that refined sugar is added in excess to many of the processed and packaged foods that are easily available in the supermarket!
One of the most contentious points up for discussion when it comes to sugar is whether the natural sugars from fruit should be considered 'bad' as well!
Fruit contains glucose and fructose – both of which are simple sugars. Glucose can be used by the majority of the cells in your body, but only your liver is able to metabolise fructose.
If you are eating large amounts of fruit, and therefore consuming high levels of fructose, then your liver may have a hard time working through it all. This can then lead to excess fructose being stored as fat in the body. Furthermore, this can also lead to the onset of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Eating fruit provides a wealth of health benefits thanks to the delicious amounts of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients contained within. However, because of the natural sugars that are present, many fruits should be enjoyed in moderation.
There are some fruits that you can enjoy without worrying too much about the fructose content, such as avocados, kiwis, pears and berries. However, fruits that are especially high in sugars, such as grapes and mangoes, should be included only in small amounts.
It should be noted that if you are a very physically active person then you have much less to worry about when it comes to fructose in fruit. This is because when the body is active, it is much better equipped to handle simple sugars. So, if you want to continue to enjoy the fruits that you love without being overly concerned about fructose, then be sure to engage in an ample amount of exercise!

My New Favourite Non-Alcoholic Beer
As with anything else, alcohol is something that should be enjoyed in moderation. And, the negative health effects of not heeding this advice can soon become apparent!
The number of people choosing to drink less, or not drink at all, is on the rise – which is of course great for the health of the nation! And for those of us who don't necessarily want to drink alcohol, but still enjoy the pleasure of having a beer, there is an ever-impressive range of alcohol-free beers available!
Stats show that drinking habits in the UK have experienced a change in the last 15 years, with alcohol consumption dropping by a massive 26% between 2002 and 2012! (Source).
Heineken have recently released their very own alcohol free beer, Heineken 0.0 and it is rapidly becoming a favourite amongst those abstaining. Made with the same high quality brewing process as their regular creations, the alcohol is then gently removed afterwards, leaving a slightly fruity taste with the usual malty flavour. I was able to attend the launch of Heineken 0.0 in Barcelona during the Grand Prix and it was heaven to sit on the beach and drink this delicious beer!
So what are the health benefits of choosing the alcohol-free version of your drink of choice?
Well first of all, of course, there's the calorie count. Non-alcoholic beers contain roughly half the calories of their alcoholic counterparts, making them a better option for those watching their weight. The new alcohol free Heineken 0.0, for example, has just 69 calories per bottle.
Secondly, drinking alcohol dehydrates your body, and your skin will be the most noticeable thing that pays the price for this! When you drink regularly, you will be depriving your skin of the vitamins and minerals it needs to look its best. You will probably have noticed that your face in particular looks puffy and dry after a night out!
Your body will benefit in many ways from sobriety, but your mind will also be much clearer and free of brain fuzz! What's more is your memory will of course not be affected on a night out when you opt for a zero alcohol drink!
Anxiety and your Diet
Choosing which food we will nourish our bodies with is among the most important decisions that we will make each day. With our dietary choices we have the potential to either heal or harm ourselves, and this is particularly true when it comes to anxiety.
Research has shown that certain foods can exacerbate feelings of stress and anxiety, whereas other foods have the potential to combat and ease these feelings. If anxiety is something that is affecting your life in some way then taking notice of the following tips could go a long way to helping you overcome it!
Tryptophan is an amino acid that has been shown to have a positive effect on reducing stress. It is a precursor to serotonin, which is extremely beneficial for promoting feelings of calm and happiness.
Tryptophan naturally occurs in several plant-based foods, most notably in bananas, oats, peanut butter and sesame seeds.
Vitamin B
There is much research to suggest a connection between the various B vitamins and the mood. In fact, a deficiency in any of the B vitamins can lead to a low mood, anxiety and even depression.
Eating a range of foods that contain B vitamins is the best way to enjoy the many benefits of this vitamin group. Good foods to include are leafy green vegetables, oranges, nuts, spirulina, watermelon, spinach, rice and legumes.
Carbohydrates often get a bad rep in the wellness world, but they are actually great for increasing serotonin production. Whole grain carbohydrates are the best choice and you should make an effort to avoid processed carbs, such as white rice and white bread.
When you eat whole grain carbohydrates it takes a while for your body to break them down, and this means that sugar is being released into the bloodstream relatively slowly. This is great for consistent energy levels as well as consistent mood.
The best things to include are brown rice, quinoa, oats, whole-wheat pasta and legumes.
Caffeine is one of the biggest culprits when it comes to dietary choices that encourage feelings of anxiety!
Caffeinated drinks, such as coffee and energy drinks, are often favoured for the quick burst of energy that they can provide, but after the high comes the inevitable crash – and this can impact your mood as well as your energy levels! Furthermore, studies have shown that the presence of caffeine can actually inhibit serotonin production. This can quickly cause you to be more prone to feelings of irritability, anxiety and depression!
This month on my wellness for women community website we are talking about the best ways to avert anxiety! You can click here to join us now and start on your journey to a happier, healthier version of yourself!
B12 and a Plant-Based Diet
Although the majority of our nutritional needs can actually be met reasonably easily on a plant-based diet, this is not always true of B12. This essential vitamin is most commonly found in meat and dairy products. If you are following a plant-based diet then it is a great idea to take the following advice into consideration so that you do not experience a deficiency in this essential vitamin!
Vitamin Deficiency
If you do not consume an adequate amount of B12 then you run the risk of damaging your nervous system, as well as experiencing fatigue, muscle weakness, and even problems with your memory! A deficiency can take several years to present itself and can be difficult to recognise or diagnose. However, this is more the case in adults rather than children, and B12 deficiency in children will present itself more rapidly. Health problems that are caused as a result of low levels of B12 can usually be treated and reversed by working to meet the daily recommended allowance.
If you follow a diet that is primarily focused on raw foods then it is all the more important that you work to avoid a deficiency in this vitamin, as you will naturally be exposed to it much less.
Sources of B12
The only reliable ways to get an ample amount of vitamin B12 on a plant-based diet are to either take supplements or eat foods that are fortified with B12. Fortunately the latter of these two methods has become much simpler in recent years as more foods are fortified with this vitamin. These products include plant-based milks, soy products and a variety of cereals.
If you are opting to take a supplement to ensure you meet your vitamin B12 quota, then you should aim for either 10 micrograms every day, or a once weekly supplement of 2000 micrograms.
B12 Consumption
If you are getting your B12 through fortified foods then it is advisable to do so regularly, as your body absorbs it best in small amounts. However, it is also worth remembering that there is no harm in exceeding the recommended amount. So, when considering your B12 intake – more is always better!
A healthy, varied diet that includes a large selection of whole, natural foods is the best way to avoid a deficiency of any kind.

The Super Nutrient: Vitamin D
Finding ways to boost the presence of vitamin D in the body is a great idea for improving and maintaining your general health.
With our busy modern day lives it can be super easy to negate our own health, and to pay little attention to the nutrients that we are consuming. However, this can quickly lead to our health and happiness becoming compromised.
As discussed in a previous blog post, Vitamin D is an incredibly important vitamin. And, since there is not something that can be found in abundance in many foods, it is essential that you get an ample amount from sunshine!
Your body utilises stores of cholesterol to convert sunlight into usable vitamin D. Although it is a vitamin, it actually acts more like a hormone in the body and contributes to many essential regulatory functions. Every cell in your body relies on vitamin D and a deficiency can cause long-lasting health issues.
Mental Health
The incidence of depression can be seen to increase during the winter months, and this can be linked (in part) to less sunshine during the day. In order to combat this issue it is important to aim to get more vitamin D from dietary sources during the winter, and you can also opt for supplements.
Immune System Function
Your immune system relies on vitamin D to function effectively. Low levels of vitamin D can contribute to the onset of several health conditions and ensuring you get an adequate amount is a great way to help protect yourself.
Bone Strength
This super vitamin is incredibly beneficial when it comes to the health of your bones. It helps to prevent the breakdown of the bones, as well as increasing the overall strength of your entire skeletal system.
Brain Health
It may surprise you to learn that your memory can actually be affected by long-term vitamin D deficiency. Persistent low levels of this vitamin has also been linked to the development of certain neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease.
As you can clearly see, there is much to be gained from vitamin D and much to be lost by not making sure you have get an adequate amount!

Have you ever wondered about a career in academia? Even though we see our supervisors serving as faculty everyday, do you really know what to expect and how to succeed in this field? The Huck Graduate Student Advisory Committee aims to navigate you through the uncertainty. Today we present an interview from Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Dr.Frank Pugh. He has been a professor for 25 years and holds multiple titles, including the Evan Pugh University Professor and the Willaman Chair in Molecular Biology. His insight into the career of a faculty member may shed some light onto this path for you.
1. What's your educational background? Is there anything specific that prepared you for a faculty career?
I received my BS from Cornell, and my PhD from UW-Madison, then a postdoc at UC-Berkeley, before coming to Penn State 25 years ago. The key things that prepared me the most were effective communication in lab meeting presentations and writing papers. Also, going after the most exciting scientific problems was instilled in my postdoc years.
2. What are your current roles/responsibilities? How have these changed over time?
Many of the basic roles have not changed such as teaching, conducting research, and general administrative responsibilities of the University. They have changed over time in that teaching is now focused more on graduate students and postdocs, whereas in my earlier years it was mainly undergraduates. Also, of course the research has evolved a lot – chasing the most exciting questions!
3. Was this career path something you had always considered?
Sort of… I wanted to work in the biotech world after my PhD, but then thought I would be more competitive by completing academic postdoctoral training. After that my priorities changed… I was a bit older and developed a greater interest in financial stability and raising a family.
4. What skills have made you and others in your field successful? Were there any under-estimated skills that you would like to emphasize?
Key skills were understanding the chemistry part of biochemistry, and the biochemistry part of molecular biology. That helped me think through many problems in molecular biology with solid grounding. And this has not changed for me in 30 years, and it won't change for you over the next 30 years. And I don't mean a superficial understanding, I mean a deep understanding that goes far beyond what your fellow students understand.
5. How easy/difficult is it to balance work and personal/family life?
It is very difficult because work constantly pulls you in. It's important to have a life partner that pulls you back out. The best of both worlds happen when you are itching to get in to lab in the morning, and itching get home in the evening.
6. What advice do you have, about anything, for current graduate students?
Everything takes 3X longer than you think. So if you want to graduate sooner rather than later, then stop reading this and get back to work! If you are still reading, then maybe a cutting-edge scientific career is not your passion. Everyone has to find the career that works for them. It may not be what you originally thought it should be.

Prof Hendricks supervised both Helliker and Murisa's PhD theses and quipped that he "didn't detect many similarities" between the chapters they wrote for the book and their PhD research. A current PhD student in the Sociology department, Ms Lalita Naido also wrote a chapter in the book.
Prof Hendricks described the book as "a compelling read" and a comprehensive overview of land struggles in Southern Africa, with a particular focus on case studies. "This book is remarkable in that very few of the authors are university-based – even though it is written in serious academic language and style," he said.
The first chapter is an introduction to the agrarian question in general, with a criticism of the labour vs capital model, which Prof Hendricks agrees is problematic. "I would have liked to see a countrywide differentiation between the way the agrarian question happens within different countries, especially in how South Africa is different from other colonised African countries."
With South Africa's racialised division of labour, "there is a very real rationale for why land reform is so necessary". He later questioned the lack of a conclusion, which might have in part brought some of the threads together and allowed readers to learn from what has taken place in other southern African countries.
Dr Helliker wrote the second chapter which examines post-apartheid land reform among marginalised communities in the Eastern Cape. Prof Hendricks noted how racial divisions, and most importantly land divisions, remain intact in the province. Despite the demarcated nine provinces, the former 'homelands' demarcations still prevail.
In the third chapter, Ms Naidoo investigates the social mobilisation of farm workers and dwellers in the Eastern Cape. With farmers trying to negotiate a complicated system- or what Prof Hendricks more pertinently describes as a paper revolution, with green and white papers stipulating a complex mosaic of laws- people are struggling to carve out a niche for themselves.
Ms Naidoo brings our attention to the differentiation between farm workers and farm dwellers, as work and accommodation go hand in hand; so when a farm worker loses his/her job, their home is also lost. "This indicates how the agrarian path government has chosen is inappropriate for our situation," Prof Hendricks emphasised.
In chapter four, Dr Murisa's overview of fast track land reform in Zimbabwe highlights how these policies irrevocably changed the architecture of the country.
He distinguishes between civil (farmers' unions etc.) and uncivil organisations, and how small scale farmers are again trying to sustain a living, mobilising themselves on newly resettled land. His main argument is to provide local conceptualisation, with moral agency, amid convoluted government machinations that involve the imposing of traditional structures. Other chapters focus on Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Mozambique and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
In concluding the seminar, Dr Murisa agreed that a conclusion to the book is needed, echoed by his experience of a lack of knowledge production in the field, especially in rural areas. He noted a dearth of up-to-date data on land struggles in African countries, saying that "we need to produce more thinkers to better understand the post-colonial reality in Africa".
He thanked Prof Hendriks for contributing to help produce a much-needed "continuous generation of scholars" to contribute to knowledge and information on agrarian issues. He also touched on agrarian reform as an essential form of democratisation.
"Poverty is not being addressed, except through piecemeal measures. Through my contribution, I attempted to bring our attention to the lacuna within post-colonial reform and how land forms such an integral part of the ruling party's agenda," said Dr Murisa.

Boundaries in the Bedroom
Last Updated on Thursday, 10 August 2017 16:03
Imagine a person who hires a security guard to protect his home and family, only for the very same guard to later on become the greatest danger and threat to their safety! Imagine a person who daily takes a multi-vitamin supplement in order to improve his health, only for the very same supplement to later on become the cause of his health deteriorating, leading to his death!
In a similar vein, the hadeeth teaches us that one of the main purposes and benefits of nikaah is that it safeguards a person from falling into the sin of zina and other sins related to lust. However, this purpose will be defeated if a person fails to realize that even life within the bedroom has limits. A person's bedroom life need not be 'dry'. But on the same token, it is not necessary to resort to bedroom activities that are either outright haraam or totally unnatural and filthy in order to gain satisfaction. We are all aware that the husband may only seek satisfaction in his wife, and the wife may only seek satisfaction in her husband. But, this does not mean that they may satisfy themselves in any and every manner they please!
If we trespass the boundaries of Deen with our spouse within the bedroom, we will be defeating one of the primary purposes of marriage – remaining pure and chaste. Then, instead of marriage strengthening our relationship with Allah Ta'ala, it will become a means of us falling into sin and taking our spouses with us. May Allah Ta'ala bless us all to remain content and satisfied with that which is halaal and pure.

IRA trusts can protect your heirs from themselves
If you have reservations about giving your heirs unfettered access to an inherited individual retirement account, an IRA trust could give you peace of mind.
While such trusts once were rarely used, a 2014 ruling from the nation's highest court has spurred more financial advisers to recommend to some clients that they name an IRA trust as the beneficiary of their nest egg instead of naming particular individuals.
"I think anyone with a sizable IRA should use one if they're concerned about their heir's ability to handle the money or if the heir has debt problems," said Leon LaBrecque, CEO and managing partner at LJPR Financial Advisors.
In simple terms, an IRA trust prevents an heir from receiving money outright from the IRA upon the account owner's death.
Without a trust, heirs can treat an inherited IRA as a piggy bank to whatever degree they want, as long as they take required minimum distributions as mandated by the Internal Revenue Service.
Unfortunately, creditors also can get a crack at the funds, thanks to the Supreme Court's decision in Clark v. Rameker. Before that 2014 ruling, inherited IRAs were treated as protected assets in bankruptcy. Now they are fair game. (A handful of states have laws that specifically protect inherited IRAs from creditors, but most do not.)
"I use the IRA trust to protect the kids from the money and the money from the kids," said LeBrecque, who is both a certified financial planner and an attorney.
It's important to note that although workplace retirement plans such as 401(k) plans operate under different laws from IRAs — and rules governing the transfer of 401(k) funds upon an account owner's death differ among plans — an IRA trust can be the beneficiary on both types of accounts, including their Roth counterparts.
But before even considering an IRA trust, it's key to remember that the beneficiaries named on financial accounts — IRAs and the like, insurance policies, brokerage accounts, etc. — supersede anything dictated in your will. In other words, if your will calls for your IRA to go to your new wife but the listed beneficiary on the account is your ex-wife, guess who unfortunately gets the money.
CFP Jason Lina, lead adviser at Resource Planning Group, said that two basic considerations help determine whether an IRA trust makes sense for his clients. First is account size.
"When you get to a half-million dollars and above, it's about asset protection," Lina said, offering lawsuits, divorce and bankruptcy as examples of potential threats to inherited IRAs.
When an IRA trust is named as the beneficiary, the trust becomes the owner of the account's assets. And although the trust, in turn, has the heir as its beneficiary, that ownership differentiation is key.
Basically, when the IRA trust is set up, a trustee is named. That person — often a professional — is charged with distributing assets from the IRA to the beneficiary (the heir). But having the trust as a protective layer between the assets and the heir means that as long as the trust documents are properly written, the heir's control of the money, and therefore ownership, is nonexistent.
The second consideration, Lina said, is the particular life situations or personalities of the heirs.
For example, he said, if a minor is the beneficiary of an inherited IRA, once the child reaches 18 or 21 (depending on the state), a young adult with no money-management experience or a penchant for reckless spending could suddenly be single-handedly in charge of massive amounts of money.
"They could liquidate an entire IRA," Lina said. "That has negative tax implications and negative long-term financial effects."
Under federal law, even if the heir's intentions were to move the money to, say, a brokerage account soon after withdrawing the money, the IRS has no mercy with inherited IRAs and will treat the withdrawal as a taxable distribution. Additionally, unwise spending can rob heirs of a secure future.
Sometimes heirs are experienced adults but face other challenges that cause parents to limit their access to IRA money.
"Not everyone should have an IRA trust. Clearly not. But if you have a large IRA and have concerns, look into it." -Leon LaBrecque, CEO and managing partner at LJPR Financial Advisors
CFP Christopher Lamia became aware of such a case when an older married couple, clients of his, confided in him that their adult daughter was struggling with substance abuse.
Lamia realized that, from a financial planning standpoint, the information called for a change to their estate plan.
"It was a heartbreaking story, but I realized it meant it could become a really, really bad situation because the daughter could inherit an awful lot of money and blow it all at once," said Lamia, president of Lamia Financial Group.
The clients, accompanied by Lamia, met with an attorney who created an IRA trust to ensure that the daughter can be protected from her own current proclivity for poor judgment. Additionally, the trust's documents direct the trustee to ensure that any trust money given to the daughter will be applied in a positive way to help her during recovery.
Two basic types of IRA trusts exist. The first is called a conduit trust, which involves distributions basically bouncing from the IRA to the trust to the beneficiary, and the money getting taxed at the beneficiary's rate.
The second is called an accumulation trust, which receives distributions from the IRA but holds on to the money for distribution to the beneficiary at a later date. In that case, the distribution is taxed at the trust's income-tax rate, which tops out at 39.6 percent.
There also are costs involved in creating and maintaining a trust, which needs to be weighed against the benefits of protecting the assets, advisors say.
"Not everyone should have an IRA trust," said LaBrecque of LJPR. "But if you have a large IRA and have concerns, look into it."

Endo's GameTotal Game Request Live
On November 16th, 2008 the music video suffered the final ignominious blow in its slow decline. That Sunday was the final airing of TRL, MTV's last serious commitment to the music video. Snobs will claim the music video died the around the time Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry started making movies instead of videos, but only when TRL disappeared was the music video truly put out to pasture in late nights and VH1 Classic. For those in my generation, and to an even greater extent for the previous generation, this is a big loss. Once, music videos defined a band's aesthetic and reinforced the artists' intentions behind their songs. Without that we are stuck with tabloids photos and thirty second video clips.
Fortunately, I think videogames are the rising medium here to fill that gap. Guitar Hero and Rockband aren't the solution I'm thinking of either. The evolution of the music video is in short, visually interesting games that don't require much of the player. Games like Petri Purho's latest Post I.T. Shooter. What struck me as I played this game wasn't the game, but the music by Martinibomb, which is undeniably funky. Adding to the song's funk is the game's stop motion post-it note graphics, which you really have to see to understand. To put it another way, imagine playing a small portion of Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" video.
The game is a bare bones shooter, involving little more than your spaceman shooting a single Space Invader inspired alien at a time. Naturally there isn't much of a challenge, but it's appropriate because the game is just an excuse to tap your fingers to the beat while watching some interesting visuals. By the time I had finished playing, and I don't think I even got to the end since I quit when the song looped to the beginning, I was left with a new appreciation for Martinibomb's song "The Love God" and post-it notes. I doubt, if I hear that song again, that I'll be able to listen to it without remembering the visuals in that game, in the same way I can't hear the U2 song "Where the Streets Have No Name" and not think of them on a rooftop.
The music video videogame is an evolution. As my co-worker Jordan Deam pointed out, "These bands build really elaborate aesthetics around their music, but they just sit there." Videogames are the next step in allowing music artists to converge with visual artists and provide an experience that's more than just aural. With videogames, a band's vision and their song's intention can now be interactive.
The key in these inevitable future collaborations is simplicity of gameplay and ease of accessibility. Guitar Hero and Rockband are about simulating the challenge of playing an actual instrument and not about being a companion piece to the song. The point of the music video videogame is primarily to experience the song along with some light gameplay that complements the music. Letting my imagination run wild, I envisioned an extremely simple racing game with stylized illustrative graphics pumping along to The Arcade Fire's "No Cars Go". Pop music also provides song structures for developers to work with: Does the game change at the bridge or the refrain? The game must also be easy to access. Downloadable games probably ask for too much from an audience that wants to experience three minutes of song and leave. The music video videogame will probably be browser based.

WEDNESDAY, Oct. 30, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- Two-thirds of American women take acetaminophen for the aches and pains of pregnancy, but the medication might not be as benign as thought.
New research shows that women who took acetaminophen, best known as Tylenol, at the end of their pregnancies were much more likely to have child with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or autism.
After testing blood from the mother and the umbilical cord soon after birth, the odds of these developmental disorders were more than twice as high in children exposed to acetaminophen near the time of birth. The association was strongest between exposure to acetaminophen and ADHD in the child.
Two previous studies have suggested a connection between acetaminophen in pregnancy and ADHD and autism in children. But those studies were based only on the mothers' memory of taking acetaminophen.
Those studies, when combined with the latest one, show "that prenatal acetaminophen use is consistently associated with an increased risk of developmental disabilities, including ADHD and possibly [autism]," said senior study author Dr. Xiaobin Wang. She's the director of the Center on the Early Life Origins of Disease at Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, in Baltimore.
It's important to note that while the study found an association between an expectant mother's use of acetaminophen and the development of ADHD and possibly autism in her child, it cannot prove a definitive cause-and-effect link.
Wang said more research is needed. She said that she was not aware of any safe alternative drugs for pain or fever relief in pregnancy.
Acetaminophen has been shown to cross the placenta during pregnancy. That means if an expectant mom takes acetaminophen, some of the drug gets into the baby's system.
In rats, acetaminophen during pregnancy appeared to affect brain cells and certain hormone levels, which could disrupt brain development, according to background information in the study.
There were almost 1,000 children in this new study. Their average age was 10 and slightly more than half were boys.
Nearly 26% of the children had ADHD only. Close to 7% had autism, while 4% had both ADHD and autism. Just over 30% had another developmental disability. Almost 33% had no developmental concerns.
Dr. Andrew Adesman, chief of developmental and behavioral pediatrics at Cohen Children's Medical Center, in New Hyde Park, N.Y., is familiar with the findings.
"Although acetaminophen is a very safe and effective medication when taken as recommended in general, it may not be as safe as presumed if it is taken during pregnancy," he said.
"Since we do not know when during pregnancy the neurodevelopmental risks of acetaminophen exposure are greatest, it is hard to counsel pregnant women as to when they may safely take this medication without increasing the likelihood of their child having ADHD or [autism]," he added.
Adesman said pregnant women should talk with their health care provider before taking acetaminophen.
The findings were published online Oct. 30 in JAMA Psychiatry.

Do polyethylene tanks, to be used for drafting water into Fire Trucks, fall under the NFPA 22 requirements?
Do polyethylene tanks, to be used for drafting water into Fire Trucks, fall under the NFPA 22 requirements?
Would have to look at 22 to see if it covers drafting tanks
I am thinking 22 does not, but some other standard may.
Will look
1.1 Scope. This standard provides the minimum requirements for the design, construction, installation, and maintenance of tanks and accessory equipment that supply water for private fire protection, including the following: (1) Gravity tanks, suction tanks, pressure tanks, and embankment-supported coated fabric suction tanks (2) Towers (3) Foundations (4) Pipe connections and fittings (5) Valve enclosures (6) Tank filling (7) Protection against freezing.
Plus local requirements
One cities approach
See number B 3 on page one
This information referenced by other:
According to the NFPA Technical Advisor board, this standard is specifically written to cover technical details which apply to fire suppression systems which employ fire suppression sprinklers. Water tanks used for drafting (water drawn into a fire truck) do not fall under the scope of NFPA 22. Under some circumstances, NFPA 1142 Annex-B can be referenced for underground cistern applications.

Lp, Žiga
Pozdravljen Aleš! Vidim, da živiš in delaš v Avstraliji. Ker sama nameravam drugo leto naredit isto bi te prosla ko vidiš to sporočilo, če mi lahko posreduješ tvoj e-mail, kjer bi te vprašala par vprašanj o Avstraliji. Sicer pa, tukaj je moj e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Že v naprej hvala!
We had a meet up on the weekend with local raw food group and it was great because there are so many edible weeds around, basically everywhere I go I find 3 or more in the same aria and yes I was blown away with nutrition facts up to 10 times more protein and lot richer in minerals. So yeah I will go crazy picking them, good stuff too is that there are all different flavors, some spicy, some mild and can be eaten on its own. And the best of all, FREE, just the mater of going for a walk into the nature. So now I can basically just worry about stocking up on bananas (today I got 40 kilos = 274 bananas) hope it will last me a week and get heaps of weeds, how good is that, I am stoked.
Yeah, who is to say that only commercially grown vegetables are suitable for us.
How are you going Marina, I can see that you are keeping yourself busy.
I think that is great! I listened Sergei Butenko on wild edible weeds and it seems that they are so much more nutritious!
That is a good point, maybe go have my blood tests done to see haw I am going. With adding soil to the smoothies (small quantities) I don't think that would taste bad, you probably wouldn't even feel it. When I get some lettuce from the garden I just eat them unwashed. I don't to go to supplements of b12, what about you, do you do your blood tests, how do you get b12?
Hm... that is an idea! Never thought of it before... I would not really eat soil, it might be a better idea to eat unwashed organic fruits and vegetables. And when I say unwashed, I do not mean muddy all the way. I clean with my hand so to remove the extra soil, but do not ash it thoroughly.
Super! Slađana Velkov je super. Ja sam do sada držala seminare u Srbiji, ali imam onlajn program: http://biljnaishrana.com/
Ako razumu srpski, možda bi im koristio. Baš mi se nedavno prijavila jedna žena iz Slovenije. :)
A nedavno me je neki momak zvao baš u Sloveniju, kao hoće da snimamo jednu emisiju u kojoj ja nešto spremam... Videćemo...
Same here! And that is true: just be an example, and they will follow. ;)
Hey Ales! Ima nas nekoliko svega... dr. Slađana Velkov je jedna divna žena iz Makedonije koja radi i u Srbiji na podizanju svesti. Pored nas dve, tu je još njih par, ali uglavnom nemaju pojma o ishrani i promovišu visokomasnu sirovu, a bojim se da ... neću da grešim dušu, ali oni sami ovako ne žive.
Hvala za sajt. Da... trudim se... ima i kritika i ali zato i pozdrava. :))))

Though you're probably dressed up as a binder full of women at some Halloween party right now, you may want to consider stocking up on goods and emergency supplies. (By goods and emergency supplies, we mean whiskey, Scrabble, and a candle or two.) There is now a 90% chance that Hurricane Sandy, a.k.a. the "Frankenstorm" will hit the East Coast in the coming days.
Earlier this evening, the mayor's office announced that this city is not ordering any evacuations, but there will be 65 shelters open where people can sleep and eat. (That sounds like the last place we would ever want to go.) The mayor also said, "Although we're expecting a large surge of water, it will be a slower pile-up and not a sudden wall of water." So don't expect a Day After Tomorrow-type of scenario.
According to an MTA announcement hours ago, the city is preparing to suspend subway service if necessary. "MTA has begun planning for an orderly suspension of all subway, bus & commuter railroad service, if Hurricane Sandy continues to bear down on the area," the announcement states. MTA will make the call on Sunday and the suspension would take effect at 7 p.m. Sunday night. This would be only the second weather-related suspension in the subway's 108-year-old history, the first time being for Hurricane Irene last year. Metro-North and LIRR would also suspend service Sunday night, so, yahtzee! No work on Monday!
Update 10/28/12 10:45 a.m.: It's official: MTA will suspend all subway and railroad service beginning at 7 p.m. tonight.
