Kocaeli TV, 18 September 2010
• When I say Turkey is a super power, people assume that I emphasize it to have a property like a printing house including tanks, bombs and planes. The reason why Turkey is a super power is its faith, moral values, determination and its being a spiritual super power. Our military power is also a reasonable one, not to be exaggerated that much. In any case, we have no will to act in any sort of military method.
• I said, Islam will prevail throughout the world and there will be an Islamic Union and Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear. Some people considered these to be story-like. They asked, "Do you really believe this?" If I were not definitely sure, would I keep on explaining these topics with such ambition? Would I have this determination if I were not sure? As I have spent all my youth and property in the way of Allah; the existence of Allah is an absolute fact and the morals of Islam will certainly dominate the entire world insha'Allah. Moreover, developments show this progress.
• In general people have a tendancy to get accustomed to all matters. There is a need to struggle against habit. We said, "You are images in your brain," they say, "Right, what does anything have to do with that. I know, this is a scientific fact." You say, "You are not talking to me right now, do you know this? You are talking to the image in your brain." And they reply, "What is the matter with it?" When they first wake up in the Hereafter, they say, "Who woke us from the place of our sleep?" There needs to be a certain effort to prevent routine habits getting hold of a person. If what is customary is penetrated, a person may have very perfect faith. Habit is the greatest trouble for a person. Also, familiarity is one of the greatest blessings. Because one may lose his mind due to the clarity of vision. If one understands that he lives in a place as big as a cubic centimeter, normally he would not be able to handle this mentally. While a person thinks he is navigating in his boat, he comprehends that the boat is in him. The majority of people cannot bear this fact. If there is no familiarity, a person cannot even get his head up. But, habit also clouds wisdom. You become aware that you live in a tiny place, and you are a spiritual being, and you are totally convinced of the Hereafter, Hell and Paradise. That person becomes fully aware of the power of Allah. We say that there is no light outside, and colors are formed inside the brain. We ask, "Don't you find this interesting?" and he says, "Yes it is." Then he goes on saying there is a rise in prices, and about university exams and that he needs to go there. These people are extremely disinterested, and routine habit causes this. One needs to find a balance with familiarity. People like the Prophet Jesus (pbuh), our Prophet (pbuh) and the Prophet Moses (pbuh) know how to dismantle the clouding effect of habit on the brain. The Prophet Abraham (pbuh) looks once and has faith, that is all and he does not give up in any way, whatever happens. The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) also looks once and his faith is stronger than the belief of hundreds of thousands of people. For instance they puncture the Prophet Zechariah (pbuh) inside a trunk and normally a person would shout and cry out, right? Ordinarily, one is horrified. But all he says is, "My Lord, You are Everlasting," while being martyred. This is only possible with the strength of ones faith, and there is no other way. The companions of the Prophet (pbuh) were also the same. Normally one would stop fighting when he loses an arm, but they kept on the fight. There are the companions who lost their feet in war, but they are not even aware that they have lost their limbs, because they have aligned themselves with love of Allah. One should penetrate the customary. If one knows how to do this, then for a person who examines even the life of a bee, the bee is normally adequate for having faith. It reflects millions of times superior intelligence than human beings.
• Allah creates animals, plants and all beauties for us to inspire affection within us. Therefore animals should be present before our eyes, at least their photographs. The flowers also. Allah creates them for us to smell and cherish, just like the animals. Even butterflies behave differently when they feel they are loved. Butterflies, insects, they all know they are loved, because they all manifest the spirit of Allah. They are very gentle and adorned. There is symmetry in everything, and the golden ratio is present. There is the golden ratio in the flowers, and a great symmetry in the sequence of the leaves.
• There is a mathematical golden ratio in the creation of all living beings. They say this happened by coincidence. You look at the flower there is a golden ratio, you look at animals there is a golden ratio, the same is observed in galaxies. Darwinism cannot give an account of the symmetry. It has no explanation or anything on this matter and that is why they do not make this their agenda. What does coincidence understand about the golden ratio? There is the golden ratio in everything and they come up and say these all happened by chance. We will see if they will be able to say the same thing in the Hereafter.
• Our leftists and rightists are all greathearted. They would give their lives for their nation. Which leftist would not aspire for the Turkish – Islamic Union? Leftists do not appreciate bigotry, and I do not want that also. They are against being a bigot, and I am thousand times against that. But attacking the Qur'an is not the way to stand against bigotry. When you give opportunity to those bigots, and they would perish you. You would destroy freedom and love by opposing to the Qur'an. Qur'an and the morals of the Qur'an are assurance for freedom, love, affection and democracy. Belief in Allah is the single path of the human mind. What would you do if you have no faith? The mind leads to faith on a straight path.
• Bigotry overwhelms the ones that apply it. Nobody should ever attempt to change Allah's plan.
• I am mentioning the impertinence of PKK night and day. The reason behind this insolence and disrespect is, they say, "We are making scientific activities and they cannot confront us with science, so they come out with weapons because they know they will be defeated." This is what they are talking about, they are making this propaganda. They talk about this everywhere. Just let me and I will wear them down (intellectually), by Allah's leave, give me two months and if I don't do this then say whatever you want. I will put them down and they cannot act such heedlessly.
• We are given an incredibly short term in this world. Thanks to Allah, the morals of Islam will prevail and people's perception of truth will increase greatly. The Prophet (saas) says this, and it will take place at a time that is mostly unexpected for people. All would have happened in the middle ages and people would say, "That took place because people lagged behind." Morals of Islam will dominate the world at a time when technology is most advanced and science is most developed. Science supports Islam, philosophy supports Islam and technology assists Muslims. Allah will prevail Islam all over the world under the leadership of a person they mostly unexpect. Allah gives dominance to the most unexpected person, at the most unexpected time and at the most unexpected regions. This is the law of Allah. The Prophet Moses (pbuh) is the son in law of the Pharaoh, and he was the most unexpected son in law, at the most unexpected time, that devastated his rule.
• What is the benefit to unbelievers? They exalt one's zeal and determination. What does a hypocrite do? He gives fervor, enhances adrenaline and becomes the means for a very comprehensive explanation of the Qur'an. In order to give the message of the Qur'an, we need to see hypocrites in practice. We see real, veritable hypocrites, ones who have sickness in their hearts and who are disbelievers. It is very exciting to see people we are informed of in the Qur'an. We experience true believers and true struggle against real hypocrites and unbelievers. We live through these in reality.
You who belive! DO NOT MAKE UNLAWFUL THE GOOD THINGS ALLAH HAS MADE LAWFUL FOR YOU, AND DO NOT OVERSTEP THE LIMITS. Allah does not love people who overstep the limits. (Surat Al-Ma'ida, 87)
Hypocrites make unlawful (haram) what Allah has made lawful (halal). This happens with hypocrites and ones who have sickness in their hearts. Do not invent things that you call unlawful or lawful, do not complicate religion, do not lie in the name of Allah. That is why hypocrites and idolaters always perish. Allah calls attention to this fabrication of hypocrites and idolaters in the Qur'an.
In the same way their idols have made killing their children appear good to many of the idolaters, in order to destroy them and CONFUSE THEM IN THEIR RELIGION. If Allah had willed, they would not have done it; so abandon them and what they fabricate.
They say, 'THESE ANIMALS AND CROPS ARE SACROSANCT. NO ONE MAY EAT THEM EXCEPT THOSE WE WISH – AS THEY ALLEGE – AND ANIMALS ON WHOSE BACKS IT IS FORBIDDEN TO RIDE, and animals over which they do not mention Allah's name, inventing falsehood against Him. He will repay them for the things they have invented. (Surat Al-An'am, 137-138)
They act according to falsehood, fabrications and say we heard as such from our ancestors. They lie in the name of the Prophet (pbuh) and say they heard these from him. Then they charge the ones who do not carry these out with being profane. "Confuse them in their religion," so they establish a religion full of confusion. Thousands of things made unlawful, they make religion incredibly complicated. Allah gives us examples of their techniques for inventing new unlawful (haram).
… WHO COULD DO GREATER WRONG THAN SOMEONE WHO INVENTS LIES AGAINST ALLAH THUS LEADING PEOPLE ASTRAY WITHOUT ANY KNOWLEDGE? Allah does not guide the people of the wrongdoers. (Surat Al-An'am, 144)
"Without any knowledge": This means there aren't any distinct commands in the Qur'an, and no sound hadith of our Prophet (pbuh). After inventing lies against Allah, then the ignorant person comes and tells a Muslim, "You do not comply with this." The Muslim says, "Yes, I do not comply because it is fabrication." The ignorant person asks, "I have heard such from my ancestors, on what basis are you acting?" and says, "you may become a deviator." And goes on, "If you abide by these fabrications which are the religion of my ancestors, then you may have taqwa." Will the ignorant person accept that, Allah forbid, if a Muslim is mistaken and does that, then this ignorant person will find another issue. This is a tactic used by hypocrites, and one that was the practice in the Masjid ad-Dirar (= Mosque of Mischief) in the time of our Prophet (saas). They invented superstitions when the religion our Prophet (saas) preached was explicit.
Among them is a group who distort the Book with their tongues so that you think it is from the Book when it is not from the Book. They say, 'It is from Allah,' but it is not from Allah. They tell a lie against Allah and they know it. (Surah Al 'Imran, 78)
For instance there is a very clear command in the Qur'an about the Prophet Jesus (pbuh), but that person distorts this with his tongue and changes this totally into something else. That is not proper according to the command in the Qur'an, but they deceive you. Hypocrites know this but they lie against Allah.
Do you not see those who claim to be purified? No, Allah purifies whoever He wills. They will not be wronged by so much as the smallest speck. (Surat An-Nisa', 49)
Hypocrites show themselves like saints. It is as if they have a sore neck and they are extremely stubborn because of egocentrism, each one is very sure of themselves as if they are a false god. They assume themselves to be like separate states, as to their own minds.
But when they see a chance of trade or entertainment they scatter off to it and leave you standing there. Say: 'What is with Allah is better than trade or entertainment. Allah is the Best of Providers.' (Surat Al-Jumu'a, 11)
Hypocrites are after their interests. First, they aim for getting property, possessions and finances, they watch over those ways. They abstain from everything that would prevent him from this. When he is near the Muslims, he thinks, "These conditions would harm me," and says, "let me run away from here." He wants to flee even towards a cave, a house, or any place under the earth, he wants to run off in any case and there he plans his future.
Hypocrites want to get rich with possessions and children. Allah reveals "Do not let their wealth and their children impress you. Allah merely wants to punish them by that in the dunya, and for them to expire while they are kafirun." (Surah at-Tawba, 85) A hypocrite loves his mother for inheritance, his father for inheritance, his grandfather for inheritance, his brother for property and wealth. He looks at his grandfather and if he sees no share on his part, then he finds a way to send him to a workhouse and looks for an evidence from the Qur'an.
It is very important to expose the hypocrite. We did the same to atheist masons, we exposed them and they announced that they had nothing left in secret. Darwinism was under layers of cover and they said, "We are people who walk in the deepest passages of science, we are people in the depths of science where others cannot come by." They claimed, "Ordinary people cannot attain our knowledge, we once in a while give them brief information and that is adequate for them." Those ordinary people made them cry this way. They were under 70 layers of cover, but we tore all those covers down (intellectually).
Their leaders went off saying, 'Carry on as you are! Hold fast to your gods. This is clearly something planned.
We have not heard of this in the old religion. This is merely something contrived. (Surat Sâd, 6-7)
One characteristic of hypocrites is they always consider themselves to be pioneers, they all have internet websites. Not one likes the other, not one abides by the other or holds him in esteem. They carry on as though they are in their old religion, but until when? Allah reveals they do not give up "until their hearts are cut to shreds" (Surat at-Tawba, 110). It is not because they love this, but they know that bigotry and zealotry are the best methods as an internal blow to religion. It is easy to destroy a castle from within, and hypocrites turn what is halal (lawful) into haram (unlawful) and they take all precautions to remove joy and love. People turn into such a state that their minds get frozen, their brains are stuck and they say they cannot live by that religion. This is the method of satan, it attacks in a way to turn things into an impasse and tries to strike from inside.
How is it that you have become two parties regarding the hypocrites, when Allah has returned them to disbelief for what they did? Do you desire to guide people Allah has misguided? When Allah misguides someone, you will find no way for him. (Surat An-Nisa', 88)
Since hypocrites always talk by using logic, sometimes ignorant or pure Muslims may really be affected. They use by distorting the truth in the Qur'an. Allah informs in the Qur'an, "If they speak you listen" (Surat Al-Munafiqun, 4), they may also seem to be rich and imposing. Allah draws attention to this also in the Qur'an. It is seen that the real purpose of the hypocrite is wealth, but Allah always turns them upside down. Allah informs they would not find guidance even if you strive hard.
They would like you to be unbelievers as they are unbelievers so that you will all be the same… (Surat An-Nisa', 89)
Every hypocrite is alone. He throws himself from wall to wall because of sorrow and therefore wants others to be deviated like himself. But he does not directly tell others to become irreligious. If he tells this, everyone knows what response he will get. He does not say so in the Qur'an also. He pulls them into convoluted labyrinths and suffocates them in those labyrinths as if that is the true religion. One then says, "I cannot do this" and he says, "Did you see how it is not possible to live by religion?" He says, you're talking, laughing, walking and everything is haram and claims Allah commands this. If that person is weak, because he either selects the weak or one that is self-interested, he suffocates that person and then pulls back. This is how satan acts, what does it do, satan says, "I called you and you responded to me," (Surah Ibrahim, 22). This is how hypocrites are.

The Mahdi's luminous community will repair the destruction of the innovative regime of the secret society of the Sufyan, and will restore the Prophet's glorious Sunna. That is to say, the secret society of the Sufyan will try to destroy the Shari'a of Muhammad (PBUH) in the World of Islam with the intention of denying his Prophethood, and will be killed and routed by the miraculous immaterial sword of the Mahdi's community. (Letters / Twenty - Ninth Letter - Seventh Section - p.516)
They bring innovation and make up things that are not in the Qur'an. This means he does not only destroy but also distorts the system. Hazrat Mahdi (as) shuts down the hypocrites and the bigots. He encourages Turkish-Islamic Union and enhances love. This way people start loving one another, and he repairs. He will carry on the sunnah of our Prophet (pbuh) just as in the time of the Golden Age. The committee of the Sufyan that attempted to bring the system of fitnah (corruption) and mischief in place of friendship, love and amity will be scattered by means of the spiritual sword of the community of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Because there is no blood with Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). What happened to the alleged Ergenekon Organization? It is completely dissolved.
Moreover, in the world of humanity, the secret society of the Dajjal will overturn civilization and subvert all mankind's sacred matters, with the intention of denying the Godhead. A zealous and self-sacrificing community known as a Christian community but worthy of being called "Muslim Christians," will establish the reality of Islam, and will kill and rout that society of the dajjal (antichrist), thus saving humanity from atheism. (Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, Letters / Twenty - Ninth Letter - Seventh Section, p. 516)
The committee of the antichrist is Abdullah Ocalan, Darwin, Lenin, Troçki and all. They perished humanity, if you go to China you will see that people are dead, but only their bodies are alive. The true religion of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is Islam. "A zealous and self-sacrificing community known as a Christian community." They are so much similar to Muslims that you suppose they are Muslims. But, they are a hidden community. Not the Mormons, because they also name Prophet Jesus (pbuh) as Allah. Bediuzzaman says, Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will do this and the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will be involved on the political side. The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) leaves intellectual struggle to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). The way of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is entirely different, he employs a completely different method that cannot be sensed.
• There is one and only remedy for disbelief, anarchy and materialism, which is the greatest threat now in this time. It is to embrace the truth in the Qur'an. Otherwise that scourge that turned huge China into communism in a short period of time would not be silenced by political and material forces. What only silences it is the truth of the Qur'an.
People consider communism to be state socialism. Europe is also communist right now. Otherwise, the state may call out, "Everyone should bring their properties and we will distribute all from one centre." Being away from Allah, and away from good morals. Communism is equal to immorality and being without a Book.
A tyrannical current born of Naturalist and Materialist philosophy will gradually become strong and spread at the end of time by means of materialist philosophy, reaching such a degree that it denies God. (Letters, p. 79)
Like a Nimrod, this is the Nimrodism in the End Times. There is Nimrodism in the time of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh) and Nimrodism in the End Times. They are developing within the essence of dialectical philosophy all over the world and they are in rejection very openly in a widespread manner all over the world as it is currently seen. This is based on Darwinist materialist philosophy.
So those who come to lead the school of naturalists and materialists, imagine in themselves a sort of lordship proportionate to their power, and to demonstrate their power, make their subjects bow down worshipfully before themselves and their statues, and incline their heads. (The Rays / The Fifth Ray - Second Station - p.105 )
There is a narration: "The Sufyan will be an eminent scholar; he will fall into misguidance through his learning. Numerous other scholars will follow him." (The Rays / The Fifth Ray - Second Station - p.106)
Hafez Al-Assad is one of the people who knows Darwinist philosophy very well. The head of the separatists (Abdullah Ocalan) is the same. They have all swallowed guerilla methods and lives of Che and Ho Chi Minh. He is an antichrist also, as well as Hafez Al-Assad. They possess great knowledge but that is a kind of satanic understanding. They do not act in response from the side of Ar-Rahman, but this should be done. Let me do this.
There was a despicable person living at the time of the Prophet Moses (pbuh), Qarun. He said, "May Allah grant me lots of wealth and I will spend in His path." Then Allah gave him all and when he gained that wealth, he said "I earned this, so I will spend it for my own needs." Then Allah devastated his property. If one is determined to spend in the cause of Allah, then he earns plenty. But if he attempts to play a trick against Allah, then Allah destroys that person.
He to whom the kingdom of the heavens and the earth belongs. He does not have a son and He has no partner in the Kingdom. He created everything and determined it most exactly. (Surat Al-Furqan, 2)
Allah has ordained by using the golden ratio. There is a measure everywhere; there is a mathematical ratio in all.
They say, 'What is the matter with this Messenger, that he eats food and walks in the market-place? Why has an angel not been sent down to him so that it can be a warner along with him? (Surat Al-Furqan, 7)
"Why has treasure not been showered down on him? Why does he not have a garden to give him food?' The wrongdoers say, 'You are merely following a man who is bewitched.'." (Surat Al-Furqan, 8)
Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will not be rich also. They get down in that also, they want him to have gardens and orchards.
The Romans have been defeated. (Surat Ar-Rum, 2)
Romans were defeated. What was Istanbul called then? It was the Land of the Romans. This verse indicates a sign for the conquer of Istanbul by Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). What is the numerical (gematrical) value? 1980, it is exactly 1400 (Hegira style) and Romans was directly used for Istanbul. Even more those lands are called Rumelia (Land of Romans).
In a few years' time. The affair is Allah's from beginning to end. On that day, the muminun will rejoice. (Surat Ar-Rum, 4)
The numerical value of this verse gives year 2010.

A verbal is a verb that is used as a noun, adjective or adverb. For example, the verb sing can be turned into a noun by adding -ing as in, "People enjoy my singing". There are three types of verbals.
We have just seen this type of verbal. These are constructed by adding -ing to a verb to turn it into a noun. Here are some more examples:
"I went fishing."
"I love reading what you write"
A participle is a verb that is used as an adjective. A present participle always ends in -ing but a past participle can have different endings (-ed, -en, -d, -t, -n). Here are a few examples:
"The crying baby was hungry."
"Bob crawled away from the broken toy."
An infinitive is an unconjugated verb with the word "to" in front of it. These can be used as nouns, adjectives or adverbs. Some examples:
"I waited for the weekend to arrive."
"He wants to fly."

Kindly tell me that what is the meaning of Over Optimization in SEO and also tell me that what are the negative impacts of over optimization.
When you get many back links from bad website (Low Authority, paid links, black hat, etc.). It's consider to Over optimization in SEO. After Google penguin update it's create a situation, because of it your website will penalize. Here is my website <snip> that recover from it after 2 months time period.
Over optimization can be defined as any activity which is done in excess. Not only link building but keyword stuffing or other onpage done in excess is also categorized as over optimization.
Google now sees the unnatural backlinks of every websites and when they understand that you are manually getting all these unnatural links, they penalize your website on SERP. So, avoid building a lot of unwanted unnatural backlinks and try getting links from reputed and high page rank websites, else your SERP will drop.
Over [SEO] optimization is exactly as it sounds -- when you focus so much on optimizing for SEO that you're attempting to game the system rather than develop something useful that's reasonably optimized. Engines know you need to do certain things to appear -- like make accessible links, name your pages well, use header tags -- they want and need this. What they don't want is sites that never link out or flag every link as nofollow -- links are useful. They don't want sites that harvest, trade and build up links just for seo "juice". They don't want pages written to keywords and length only.
When you reach a point where everything is about an SEO trick you stop being useful and that's when you get flagged.
I'll be a little blunt here, if I may. I'm seeing this trend -- and I bet you guys are seeing this, too -- wherein those who are focusing more on link building are the ones who are most likely to become the victims of one Google Penguin. As Ted has mentioned, over SEO is just that; it's focusing more on the link building rather than link "sharing". The latter would be the better way of spreading your links around the Internet. Share your links in such a way that it adds value to wherever you're going to post it.
Some over optimization factors.
. Duplicate content. Keyword Stuffing. Use the promotional content. Pick the more keyword in meta description. Keyword density. Bad linking
Finally someone wrote about keyword density. I read some say it 3%, some are 5%, which one is considered over-optimized?
I think anything over 1% is over optimized. It has been proven time and time again that 1% is more than adequate and sometimes even less. Anything more than that becomes awkward to read, and some speculate punishable by Google.
Over optimization is building back-links un-Natural Links. Daily basis do quality back-links in Hight PR websites. Better start do content optimization like Blog postings, Article submission more..
Over Optimization includes many thing keyword stuffing, too much footer links on sites, too much links are in left and right navigation, unnatural link, internal link on content with same anchor text.

Blood pressure is a
measure of how hard the blood pushes against the walls of your arteries as it
moves through your body. It's normal for blood pressure to go up and down
throughout the day, but if it stays up, you have high blood pressure. Another
name for high blood pressure is hypertension.
When blood pressure
is high, it starts to damage the blood vessels, heart, and kidneys. This can
lead to
heart attack,
stroke, and other problems. High blood pressure is
called a "silent killer,'' because it doesn't usually cause symptoms while it
is causing this damage.
Your blood pressure consists of two
systolic and diastolic. Someone with a systolic
pressure of 120 and a diastolic pressure of 80 has a blood pressure of 120/80,
or "120 over 80."
High blood pressure is 140/90 or higher. Adults should have a blood pressure of less than 120/80.
Many people fall into the category in
between, called prehypertension. People with prehypertension need to make
lifestyle changes to bring the blood pressure down and help prevent or delay
high blood pressure.
About 1 out of 3 adults in the United States has high
blood pressure.1
In most cases,
doctors can't point to the exact cause. But several things are known to raise
blood pressure, including being very overweight, drinking too much alcohol,
having a
family history of high blood pressure, eating too much
salt, and getting older.
Your blood pressure may also rise if you
are not very active, you don't eat enough potassium and calcium, or you have a
condition called
insulin resistance.
High blood pressure doesn't
usually cause symptoms. Most people don't know they have it until they go to
the doctor for some other reason.
Very high blood pressure
can cause headaches, vision problems, nausea, and vomiting. These symptoms can
also be caused by dangerously high blood pressure called
malignant high blood pressure. It may also be called a
hypertensive crisis or hypertensive emergency. Malignant high blood pressure is
a medical emergency.
Most people
find out that they have high blood pressure during a routine doctor visit. For your
doctor to confirm that you have high blood pressure, your blood pressure must
be at least 140/90 on three or more separate occasions. It is usually measured
1 to 2 weeks apart.
You may have to check your blood pressure at home if there is reason to think the readings in the doctor's office aren't accurate. You may have what is called
white-coat hypertension, which is blood pressure that
goes up just because you're at the doctor's office.
Treatment depends on how high
your blood pressure is, whether you have other health problems such as
diabetes, and whether any organs have already been damaged. Your doctor will
also consider how likely you are to develop other diseases, especially heart
You can help lower your blood pressure by making healthy
changes in your lifestyle. If those lifestyle changes don't work, you may also
need to take pills. Either way, you will need to control your high blood
pressure throughout your life.
Most people take more than one pill for high blood
pressure. Work with your doctor to find the right pill or combination of pills
that will cause the fewest side effects.
Making lifestyle changes can help you to
prevent high blood pressure. You can:

Living with high blood pressure:
Experts know that
many different factors are linked to high blood pressure. But experts still
don't fully understand the exact cause. Factors that are linked to
high blood pressure include:
Primary, or essential, high blood pressure is the most
common type of high blood pressure. Most people who have high blood pressure
have primary high blood pressure.
Secondary high blood pressure, which is caused by
another disease or medicine, is less common.
Elevated blood
pressure readings may not always mean that you have high blood pressure. For
some people, just being in a medical setting causes their blood pressure to
rise. This is called
white-coat hypertension.
People who have
high blood pressure usually don't
have any symptoms. Most people with high blood pressure feel fine. It's during
a routine exam or a doctor visit for another problem that they find out that they

Very severe high
blood pressure (such as 180 over 110 or higher) may lead to
malignant high blood pressure. This is also called
hypertensive emergency or hypertensive crisis. Very severe high blood pressure
is a medical emergency. Symptoms of very severe high blood pressure
Healthy arteries have smooth inner walls. Your blood flows
through them without a problem. The blood vessels stay strong and
But when you have
high blood pressure, blood flows through your arteries
with too much force, even though you can't feel it. Over time, this pressure damages the walls of your arteries. They aren't smooth anymore. They get rough spots on
them where fat and calcium start to build up. This buildup is called
plaque (say "plak").
Plaque is part of atherosclerosis, sometimes called "hardening of the arteries." Over time, the plaque narrows the artery and blocks blood flow through it.
Atherosclerosis makes your arteries narrower. It also makes them
stiffer. Blood can't flow through them as easily. This lack of good blood flow
starts to damage some of the organs in your body.
This damage doesn't happen all at once. It
happens slowly over time. But you can't tell that it's happening, because you
don't feel anything. It can lead to:
Things that increase your risk (risk factors) for
high blood pressure include:

The main test for
high blood pressure is simple, fast, and painless.
These are the usual steps:
If this test shows that your blood pressure is
high, your doctor will likely have you come in two more times to be tested.
This will confirm that you have high blood pressure.
Some people only have high blood pressure when they're at the
doctor's office. This is called
white-coat hypertension. If your doctor thinks this is getting in the way of measuring your
true blood pressure, you may need to get your blood pressure
measured away from the doctor's office.
All adults should have their blood pressure checked regularly.

high blood pressure can lead to fatal
heart attacks or
strokes. The higher your blood pressure, the greater
your risk. Lowering blood pressure lowers the risk of
damaging blood vessels and getting atherosclerosis.

controlled. The two types of treatment for high blood pressure
For most people, the goal of treatment is to get
the blood pressure below 140/90. But a person's goal may be lower. Your doctor will give you a blood pressure goal that is based on your health. For example, your goal may be lower if you have other conditions such
heart failure,
coronary artery disease, or
chronic kidney disease.

Medicines control—but usually don't
cure—high blood pressure. So you will probably need to take them for the rest
of your life. Most people need to take two or more medicines.
Some people find it hard to take their
medicines properly. They may feel it's too much trouble—especially when they don't feel sick. Or they're worried about side effects. Some people find it hard to keep track of when and how to take their medicines.
If you have trouble taking high blood
pressure medicines for any reason, talk to your doctor.

Deciding whether to treat
high blood pressure with medicine and choosing the
best medicine are based mainly on:
Doctors usually prescribe a single, low-dose medicine
first. If blood pressure is not controlled, your doctor may change the dosage
or try a different medicine or combination of medicines. It is common to try
several medicines before blood pressure is successfully controlled. Many
people need more than one medicine to get the best results.
Medicine choices include:
All of these medicines are effective for lowering the
risk of
heart attack and
Work with your doctor to find the right medicine or
combination of medicines that have the fewest side effects and work well for
you. And be sure to take your medicines regularly as prescribed.
You may have regular blood tests to monitor how the medicine is working in your body. Your doctor will likely let you know when you need to have the tests.

few months I was really good about taking (my pills) every day. But they made
me a little tired, and I got tired of being tired."—Tyrell

complementary medicine treatments that help reduce stress
and improve quality of life may have some effect on blood pressure. These

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo University softball team (4-2) eneded their home opener in a sweep of the visiting Lindenwood Lions (0-2), Wednesday evening from University Stadium. The doubleheader featured a seven–inning game in which Saint Leo defeated Lindenwood by a score of 6-1, just before Saint Leo defeated the visiting Lions 10-0 in five innings.
The Saint Leo Lions warmed up some previously cold bats as the home team collected 19 hits on the evening and stole a grand total of eight bases. In addition, Saint Leo's pitching staff only allowed six hits on the day.
In the first game of the evening, senior Megan Still collected her second win of the year after tossing a complete one-run game against the visiting Lindenwood Lions. Still struck out ten batters and walked only one in her second start of the year, allowing only four hits and one earned run in seven innings of work.
On the offensive side, the Saint Leo Lions jumped on their opponents in the first inning, scoring two runs off of a double by junior Brittany Ewing and giving pitcher Megan Still some cushion to work with. The next run came in the third inning when junior Kylee Hardesty ripped an infield single that allowed senior Rachelle Gremo to slide safely into home. One inning later, Saint Leo tacked on another run when freshman Jessica LoBianco sent a groundball through the infield for her first career hit, sending sophomore McKenzie Burns home.
Lindenwood's only run of the day came in the top of the sixth inning, when a double by sophomore Hannah Braun sent home teammate Courtney Kitson. In the bottom of the sixth inning, however, the Saint Leo Lions added two more runs to the scoreboard when sophomore Torrie Weindorf and LoBianco slid safely into home plate on back to back plays.
After defeating the visiting Lions in seven innings, Saint Leo decided that the next game would have to be played in only five, and they defeated the visiting team by the eight-run rule.
Freshman Alana Tabel got the start for the Saint Leo Lions, going three innings and allowing only two hits. Improving her record to 2-1 on the year, Tabel tallied four strikeouts in the home opener. Sophomore Ashley Ehlers pitched the bottom of the fourth inning for the home team, striking out two of her three batters faced.
The bats also came alive during the second game of the doubleheader, as the Saint Leo Lions scored more than one run in three of the four innings in which they batted.
In the bottom of the third inning, the home team tacked on 2 more runs for security purposes. With the bases loaded, Steedley was hit by a pitch, allowing sophomore Kelsey LaNeave to come home and score her first run of the year. Two batters later, Ewing blasted a single to centerfield, scoring Burns yet again.
The majority of Saint Leo's runs came in the bottom of the third inning, when a string of three hits and one Lindenwood error allowed Emily Holman, McKenzie Burns, Kelsey LaNeave, Rachelle Gremo, and Chelsea Steedley to cross the plate. Holman, LaNeave, and Ewing all registered hits in the inning.
The Saint Leo Lions will return to action on Friday, Feb. 8th when they head to Clearwater, Fla. to participate in the Eckerd Tournament, hosted by Sunshine State Conference Rival, Eckerd College. The weekend, which will feature five games in just three days, is set to begin at 5:30 p.m. when the Lions take the field against Columbus State.

There are four types of bond funds: Mutual funds, closed-end funds, unit investment trusts (UITs) and exchange traded funds (ETFs). While there are important distinctions between them, each type of fund allows an investor to instantly diversify risk among a pool of bonds at a low minimum investment. For those without a lot of money to invest, or who are investing through an employer-sponsored retirement plan, such as a 401(k) or 403(b) where mutual funds are the primary investment option, bond funds may represent the only realistic option to add this important asset class to your portfolio.
Before you invest in a bond fund, it is important that you understand the different fund types and how bond funds differ from individual bonds. For instance, one common misconception about bond mutual funds is that there is no risk to principal. This is not the case: Your initial and subsequent investments will fluctuateand indeed may declinejust as they do if invested in a stock mutual fund.

Experimental: Arm 1
There is only one group of patients. Thus there is only one arm. Sample of wound fluid will be collected using a non traumatic procedure at week 0 and week 4. A numeric photograph of the wound will be taken at week 0, week 4 and week 12.
Other: Picture + MMPs and TIMP1 at week 0 and week 4
Sample of wound fluid will be collected using a non traumatic procedure at week 0 and week 4. This will allow to assess the level of MMP9, MMP13, MMP1 and TIMP1. A numeric photograph of the wound will be taken at week 0, week 4 and week 12 in order to assess wound area.
Detailed Description:
This monocentric, prospective, non-randomized study assesses the amount of the main metalloproteinases (MMP1, MMP9, MMP13) and their inhibitor TIMP-1 in wound fluid from diabetic foot ulcers.
It aims at demonstrating whether a MMP-1/TIMP-1 ratio equal to 0.24 at study entry can predict wound healing 12 weeks later. All patients will receive the same treatment according to our local protocol. The difference with standard care will be a sample of wound fluid at week 0 and week 4 and a numeric photograph for wound area measurement at week 0, week 4 and week 12.
The main outcome measurement is the percent change of wound area between week 0 and week 12 Secondary objectives include the evaluation of a MMP-1/TIMP-1 ratio equal to 0.4 and the search for confounding factors. A correlation between MMP-9, MMP-13 and wound healing will also be investigated.

Judge Koh to Apple Lawyers: Are You "Smoking Crack"?

(Source: Comedy Central)
As with Motorola case, Apple is starting to get on the judge's nerves in its case against Samsung
Like a boss, Apple, Inc. (
) went out and poured money into recruiting top tier legal representation to sue its rivals. In
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
, this synergy seemed on the verge of succeeding after Apple's lawyers micromanaged to
exclude certain high profile pieces of evidence
from rival Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
), while allowing its
own star exhibits
. But it appears that yet again Apple is brushing off on its attorneys, as they've found a way annoy yet another judge.
After enduring the seeming harassment of a 75-page briefing requesting 22 rebuttal witnesses for next week, presiding
Judge Lucy Koh
changed her tone, no longer looking to give Apple any courtroom promotion. In fact the filing had Judge Koh inquiring whether Apple attorneys had been busy scoring some coke.
She asked Apple why they would present her the document "when unless you're smoking crack you know these witnesses aren't going to be called!"
But Apple attorney William Lee insists that he wasn't looking for the
free crack giveway
, commenting, "First, your honor, I'm not smoking crack. I can promise you that."
He argued that a couple of the witnesses on his lists were Samsung's. As Samsung and Apple's legal teams then fell into a noisy legal argument, she exclaimed,
according to
a courtroom reporter for
The Verge
, "I'm billing time because you all are being unreasonable."
Judge Koh had already pushed both sides to cut down on the time of their arguments, saying the court could not devote itself to being a full-time Apple v. Samsung court. Apple tested the waters last week, asking Judge Koh to allow a rebuttal witness, designer Susan Kare, after its early design witnesses had
struggled under cross-examination

But Apple said Ms. Kare couldn't return to court until next week due to "family matters".
Irritated, Judge Koh told Apple's team that unless Ms. Kare could come this week, she wouldn't be coming at all. But Apple's lawyers apparently couldn't take the hint, requesting even more witnesses for next week on Thursday.
That kind of belligerent filings and judicial frustrations strikes eerily similar to that encountered in the case against Google Inc. (
) subsidiary Motorola which Apple presented to
Judge Richard A. Posner
, a
Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals
judge moonlighting in the
U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois
Judge Posner initially seemed
inclined to listen
to Apple's infringement claims, but after Apple insisted on appealing every single decision --
even its own victories
-- with a slew of junk filings, his sentiments shifted sharply. With both sides quibbling and unable to reach a settlement, he decided the best course of action was to
toss out both sides' cases
. He dismissed the lawsuits "with prejudice".
As Judge Koh experiences a similar "eye opening" experience regarding Apple legal's policy of irritating filings, one has to wonder whether Apple v. Samsung might face a similar fate.

- How to Read a Study Record
The potential clinical implications of this study are to optimise the selection of a population at risk for developing a diabetic cardiomyopathy among diabetic patients in order to develop early therapeutic strategies to prevent the left ventricular remodelling.
Therefore, the originality of this project is to hypothesize that :
- Diabetes mellitus is often associated with a premature aging syndrome
- Cellular senescence may potentiate the mechanisms that are involved in decreasing myocardial contractility in DM and,
- DM associated to premature aging may increase the risk of developing a cardiomyopathy Thus, the modulation of telomerase activity and the control of telomere length, together with the attenuation of the formation of reactive oxygen species, might represent important new targets in order to develop therapeutic tools in prevention of diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Further study details as provided by Hospices Civils de Lyon:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Telomere shortening [ Time Frame: 36 months ]Investigate whether biomarkers for senescence determined from blood samples, including telomere shortening and telomerase activity in diabetic patients have an impact of left ventricular remodelling as compared with age-matched controls and biological aged control subjects.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Dysfunction by speckle tracking imaging [ Time Frame: 36 months ]Study the incidence of subtle regional myocardial dysfunction by speckle tracking imaging (longitudinal and radial systolic strain)
- Determine the predictive value of alteration [ Time Frame: 36 months ]Determine the predictive value of alteration : Proteinuria, glycosylated haemoglobin, diabetes mellitus duration, blood pressure, BNP dosage, MRI diagnoses
- Cardiovascular events [ Time Frame: 36 months ]Investigate the predictive value of all those factors( telomere shortening, telomerase activity, echo abnormalities) on cardiovascular events including MI, HF, arrhythmia; ACV

HTC One with Nexus Experience Announcedby Brian Klug on 5/30/2013 12:30 PM EST

dishayu - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkFair to assume hardware parity between the normal and the nexus versions? Would this mean i can directly use the nexus rom with my rooted non-nexus One to perpetually be on the latest android build? Reply
A5 - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkIt's the exact same hardware as the AT&T version. Other versions will need minor changes, but that isn't anything XDA can't handle. Reply
dishayu - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkBy "normal" i meant the common international unlocked version.
Some of us don't live in the US, you see. ;) Reply
eallan - Friday, May 31, 2013 - linkWell, the AT&T version is the same as the International version. You can flash roms on it just fine already. Reply
smartypnt4 - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkGive it to me in black! Still really tempted by this. Loved the phone when I played with it in store, and getting updates from Google with stock Android and LTE is a winner.
But I really want a black one... Reply
Wairis - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkMe too, I love the black version Reply
jibberegg - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkN00b question, but if I already bought the US T-Mobile HTC One,does this mean I'll be able to "update" it to the AOSP build? Reply
thesavvymage - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkOfficially no. Most likely there will be a way to flash this build over on xda though Reply
LauRoman - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkI sure hope so, because i'm waiting for the gs4version of that rom to be available somwhere. Reply
apertotes - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkWhy would I pay $300 extra over the Nexus 4? What does it offer? At least the S4 comes with microsd and removable battery, so if that is important for somebody, they can justify the overprice. But what does the ONE offer over the NExus 4 that is worth $300? Aluminum from Rivendel? Reply
gobaers - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - link1. A really, really good camera.
2. 24GB more storage (from your $300 price point), that is also faster.
3. A great, hard-body form factor.
4. Better 1080p display.
5. Great speakers.
Not a complete list, but there certainly are benefits. Whether it's worth the extra money is up to you. Reply
owan - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkDon't forget LTE Reply
gobaers - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkOf course! Should be #1. Reply
DLeRium - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkBecause $300 isn't a normal price point for phones? Yes I get it, Google tried to throw a wrench in the pricing structure. But it did so with huge limitations. When was the last 8gb/16gb iPhone launch? (hint: iPhone 3G in 2008... it's been 16/32gb since). Who the hell uses 8gb/16gb? Especially when you're now introducing high resolution cameras, 1080p video, and Android phones are supposed to be powerhouses where you can drag and drop files. Lack of LTE? MicroSD? Battery? If Google would beef up its Nexus battery life, then I'd be less concerned. Reply
JNo - Friday, May 31, 2013 - linkI use an 8gb Nexus 4 and it's just fine. Who the hell needs more? I don't want to watch movies or tv shows on a 4.7" screen and I don't want tons of music on there when I can just have it on my much easier to use, tactile, dedicated sansa clip with much more (added) storage. I don't want to play super high end games on it when I've got consoles and pc for that. And it's hardly useful for office productivity. Even browsing the web is painful on phones. So what do I want more than 8gb for?
I'm being facetious of course but my point is - just because you can't see a use/value in something, doesn't mean someone else can't. Really, I am happy with 8gb for all the above reasons - I do make use of smartphone capabilities but mainly for stuff like Pocket, smaller, simpler games, sat nav etc. and, y'know, phone calls and stuff. Reply
lmcd - Friday, May 31, 2013 - linkIt doesn't have the thermal problems. Reply
peter123 - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkWill this HTC ONE Google Edition be as smooth and the traditional HTC ONE?? I'm asking this because, since it's not a device built from scratch by Google and HTC, it may no have the software optimizations that characterizes Nexus devices. Reply
gobaers - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkAt this point, most high end smartphones use the same platform, so I wouldn't worry about this too much. Reply
vectorm12 - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkCrap, I got my Nexus 4 a couple of months back.
Really hope there's going to be more Nexus Experience versions in the future with preferably side by side launches.
After all I'd kill for the camera on the one but I hate not being able to count on updates for the next two-three years. Reply
gte619n - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkThe buttons are still wrong. Stock Android has three buttons that change... this has a stupid HTC logo in the middle! Reply
superflex - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkGoogle wants the menu button gone. Micro SD slot too.
I dont miss the menu button one bit. Home and back are all you need. The menu button is readily apparent in any app, if you need it.
I guess you still like dial up modems too or your just spewing Sammy talking points bashing the One.
Troll on Reply
JDG1980 - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkWhat is it with software companies? They see a feature people like and use, and think "We've got to take that away from them!" Microsoft with the Start menu and Google with the menu button and MicroSD slot. Why are these companies so user-hostile? Reply
antef - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkThe menu itself hasn't gone anywhere, it's right in the upper-right corner of most apps. What is user hostile about that? It's an improvement. You see it, you know it's there and does something. The hardware menu button is a black box, you never know if it'll do something or not. THAT'S user-hostile and why Google got rid of it. Reply
DLeRium - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkMenu button going to the upper right corner doesn't make sense. I still prefer it at the bottom. Why? What's the point of me interacting with the phone near the bottom for the 3 buttons and keyboard only to have to reach across a ginormous 5" screen to the top? My thumb can't reach it. Not without shifting the device in my hands at least.
And the search button is awesome. Open Yelp, hit search, and continue typing on my keyboard. All without having to reach for the top to click on the text input box. I'd be more open to having to touch all over the screen if our screens weren't 5" large. Reply
antef - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkWell the entire action bar is up top. That's not going anywhere anytime soon, so no matter what, you have to be used to reaching up there. Thus menu being there makes sense as well, it should be grouped with other application features.
The hardware menu button, although you might like the placement, is a fundamentally broken UI concept which is why Google got rid of it. You can't have phantom buttons that sometimes perform functions and sometimes don't. There's an increasing number of apps that due to their UI or feature set do not even require a menu. For those apps pressing the hardware button would simply do nothing. A new user might be left wondering if it's supposed to do something. It's also not consistent with tablets which will never have hardware menu keys. Consistency is desirable. Reply
Tetracycloide - Friday, May 31, 2013 - linkThe menu button is like a dial up modem? Really? And you accuse others of trolling? Reply
eallan - Friday, May 31, 2013 - linkThe menu button has been intelligently done away with for years.
The recent apps button, however, is infinitely more useful than a logo. There are three functions tied to the home button on the One. It's idiotic. Reply
biassj - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkThis is great for the root community. This means we get full Google ASOP releases without most of the bugs, and Cynogenmod/AKOP teams will jump to look at the code, making their releases even better. Reply
geniekid - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkWhat about the Sense app uses the IR blaster? AFAIK, Sense TV is the only app available that uses the IR blaster. Reply
JDG1980 - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkI know the camera on the HTC One has gotten some good reviews, but did anyone ever figure out a way to take RAW photos with it? If it can't do that, then it really isn't much better than any other smartphone camera since you don't have the needed color depth to do any real post-processing without getting banding and other nasty artifacts. Reply
madwolfa - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkJust get the DSLR... Reply
JDG1980 - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkI've tried DSLRs and their depth of field is way too narrow. You take a picture of a game cartridge, for example, and half the label will be out of focus. I'd prefer a point-and-shoot that can take RAW photos, and since one of this smartphone's selling points is its quality camera, why shouldn't it support that? Reply
Death666Angel - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkI read a while back that several Canon point-and-shoots could be upgraded/hacked to take RAW photos. Reply
ioannisg - Friday, May 31, 2013 - linkJust use a smaller aperture (higher F number) at your DSLR settings. Reply
superflex - Friday, May 31, 2013 - linkA photography class would be good for you. As others have pointed out, reducing the aperture and increasing the exposure time increases the depth of field. If you cant take a decent photo with a DSLR, you sure cant shoot RAW with a smartphone. Reply
gireeshjoshi - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkSorry but I have a noob question: this means no Zoes, right? Reply
aryonoco - Friday, May 31, 2013 - linkYes that's right. No Zoe, no Blinkfeed, no IR/TV functionality.
This is just pure Nexus/AOSP experience. Seems like the only thing they've added is the Beats Audio APK, which is smart.
This is great for folks like us with a One. It means going forward, I can choose to stay on HTC's stock firmware, or I can head over to XDA and know that quality stable AOSP ROMs with all the required drivers etc are going to be available. Best of both words really. Reply
superflex - Friday, May 31, 2013 - linkThe TV app and IR blaster are awesome. Using the program guide on the phone vs the one on my cable box is way more convenient, plus you can have the phone send a reminder about an upcoming program. Reply
Tetracycloide - Friday, May 31, 2013 - linkIt seems like the HTC One and the S4 implement a number of their core selling points in software. Software the nexus experience won't have. It seems like the question now is which phone looses the most when you strip out all the features that are implemented in software? Reply

"This program turned out amazing! The design team did a great job of reviewing my product and adjusted the photo to make the test stand out more."
"Wedding Paper Divas did it again! The vision I had for my programs was brought to life when I received that black box. The paper quality to strong and smooth. The program was just the right size....not to big and not too small. The color matched perfectly with my wedding color and theme. I am very pleased with my orders i.e. save the date magnets, invitations, and wedding programs."
"This program was everything I'd hoped it would be. It is perfect and flawless in every way. If looking for a wedding program, I would highly recommend this one."
"Wedding Paper Divas provides the best professional service! Of all the wedding planning products, this is by far and will always remain the best one!"
"This card is so beautiful! I love the fact that the front cover photo is sheer, which makes it a bit more romantic and beautiful, in my opinion. I love that you can customize the inside, especially adding pictures of the wedding party! All in all, a beautiful product and I recommend it!"

Social computing, including personal sites, feeds, and communities, is just one of many components of SharePoint 2013, which has upgrades across its many modules, including search, document management and sharing, and business intelligence. Yammer, an enterprise social network that Microsoft acquired in July, is part of Redmond's master plan for SharePoint. However, the merger apparently came too late for Yammer integration to be a major focus of SharePoint 2013; rather, Microsoft's latest acquisition remains a standalone product at this time.

Road users will enjoy a smoother journey on the A36, which runs from the M27 motorway to Salisbury, once resurfacing work taking place between the Ower roundabout and the A27 is complete.
The work, on an eight-mile section of the road, will start on the evening of Tuesday, May 27, and continue for seven weeks.
All work will take place between 8pm and 6am. No work will take place on Saturday and Sunday nights.
To ensure the safety of both road users and roadworkers, it will be necessary to close the road to through traffic at certain times during the scheme and a fully signed diversion route will be in place, says the Highways Agency.
Drivers wanting to travel south on the A36 will be diverted on to the A27 at the Brickworth Road Junction to follow the A27 southbound to the junction with the A3090 where they will be diverted westbound to the Ower roundabout where they can region the A36.
Traffic wishing to travel north will follow the above route in reverse.

Andrew Demetriou's departure from the AFL's top job has moved significantly closer as the interview process has begun to unearth his replacement.
Reports would suggest the AFL Commission will not need to dig too deep given that Demetriou's right-hand man, Gillon McLachlan, remains the hot favourite and has been doing most of the heavy lifting for some time.
But various external candidates have emerged and the commission's headhunters will justify their six-figure pay packet as they produce individuals to test McLachlan.
Fairfax Media understands at least three club chiefs - Brendon Gale (Richmond), Brian Cook (Geelong) and Stuart Fox (Hawthorn) - have also been sounded out, with two of those believed to have agreed to preliminary interviews. Those interviews began last week.
Demetriou, as he loosens his tie and plots his future and potentially the European summer, has made no secret of his support for McLachlan, who most in the industry believe is over the line. He has been heavily involved in pretty much every major media and stadium deal of the past decade.
That McLachlan's reputation was hurt by the negotiated settlements with Melbourne (for tanking) and Essendon (for its dangerous and allegedly illegal drug program), then the commission too is responsible and failed dismally to show unity and leadership when the game needed it most.
Should those commissioners still harbour reservations about such a smooth handover - and several AFL board members had their doubts about appointing Demetriou's No. 2 largely because they backed cultural change - then they face the prospect of losing McLachlan after convincing him 18 months ago not to move into the NRL's top job.
Meanwhile, the game, which is being hit from all sides, remains in a holding pattern. Commission chairman Mike Fitzpatrick appears to have abstained completely from any public leadership role, while Demetriou is on the way out and could be gone next month should McLachlan win his job.
Surely the competition bosses will not make McLachlan wait four months as they did Demetriou in 2003 after Wayne Jackson resigned. Rarely in recent times has the game required a strong hand when so many bosses are working with hands behind their backs.
McLachlan in turn is keeping his head down in public terms as he goes through the process. He seems unlikely to appear in public again after last week's attempts to appease the Tasmanian football factions made headlines and surprised Hawthorn and North Melbourne.
This leaves football operations chief Mark Evans as the game's most credible public leader as he dodges bullets from a long queue of football legends - led by Kevin Bartlett, coaches and umpire bashers. Evans will be the most senior AFL executive in New Zealand on Anzac Day when that game's predicted poor crowd eventuates and the game cops it again.
On Monday, the AFL's commercial boss, Darren Birch, panicked about potential queues outside the MCG - not a poor attendance as The Age reported on Wednesday - before the Hawthorn-Geelong game. In allowing members in at no extra cost he angered those who had paid for reserved seats.
You have to wonder who was steering the ship on Monday morning, and it was interesting that the largely unknown Birch was put forward on Wednesday to face the public fallout when usually Demetriou or McLachlan would have stepped up.
The public have every right to feel disenchanted about heavy price rises to big games, about football as a spectacle, about the strange soft start to the season, Essendon's past treatment of its players and the AFL's botched handling of that scandal.
And football supporters too must be wondering who is steering the ship through such stormy and uncharted seas.

MARSHFIELD skipper Dan Watson reckons his side showed that they're a force to be reckoned as they beat promotion-chasers Burbage & Easton Royal by six wickets last weekend.
The Marshfield bowling attack claimed the hosts' first six wickets for just 39 runs before half-centuries from James Williams and Jeremy Bond drove the visitors to their third victory of the season so far.
Watson's men are level on points with Great Bedwyn at the top of the Wiltshire Division table but the Marshfield captain isn't getting carried away.
"It was a very good win and I think that it sends out a bit of a message to the other sides but I'm not going to start saying that we're going to win the league or anything like that," said Watson.
"A few players have come back to the club and the youngsters are a year older – it's been an alright start for us.
"Burbage are a very good side. Winning the toss on a wet wicket was really important and we had them at 39-6 and took (Michael) Papps, which was a coup because he's the main man for them.
"I think that James Williams got his score in nine overs and that really got us on our way to a good win."
Marshfield's bowlers had hosts Burbage in trouble early on, with only opener Sourish Mukherjee (41) offering up any resistance.
But Adam Lavis hit an unbeaten 47 as Tom Wallbridge's side posted 154 as they were skittled with the final ball of their innings, with Tom Bright, William Johnson and Cameron Walker all claiming two wickets apiece.
Marshfield's James Williams weighed in with 52 off just 29 balls whilst Bond (54 not out) and Johnson (29 not out) eased the visitors to 157-4 in just under 30 overs.
Elsewhere, Marlborough's Ben Head put in a man-of-the-match performance as he starred in his side's 92-run win over Winsley.
Tom Norris' side were put in to bat first after losing the toss, with Winsley's Simon Orchard (4-28) and Tom Walker (3-33) piling on the pressure but opener Head hit a knock of 72.
George Penfold chipped in with 22 as Marlborough posted 177-5 before Winsley's run-chase was prevented from ever getting off the ground, with Head claiming five wickets for just 16 runs.
George Fox (3-37) was also effective with the ball as the visitors were all out for 85 early in the 29th over.
Marlborough captain Norris said: "The game was all about Ben Head. Hopefully we can go on a run now but we will need to take each game as it comes."
Devizes were put to the sword by Trowbridge batsman Wes Marshall as they suffered a six-wicket defeat.
Skipper Joe Wookey hit 68 for his side, who were put in to bat first, but Jonathan Skull (26) made the only other significant contribution as Devizes were skittled to 159 in the penultimate over, with the hosts' Rob Edington ending the afternoon with figures of 3-13.
Marshall then smacked an unbeaten 123 as Trowbridge cruised to 160-4 in the midway through the 32nd over.
There was also disappointment for Calne, who were downed by a six-wicket haul from Purton's Tom Bowler.
Tom Richards (22) got Calne's highest score whilst Sean Adams and Julian Kearney were both dismissed for 19 as Bowler claimed 6-25.
Dan Knight's men all out for 103 early in the 41st over with the hosts' Tom Fullalove also taking 3-22.
Bowler then hit an unbeaten 43 whilst Deepak Ramani chipped in with a knock 30 as Purton eased to 105-2 in the 20th over.
