Church of Uganda archbishop, Rt. Rev. Stanley Ntagali, has challeged government to get tough in the fight against corruption, human sacrifices and human trafficking among other vices.
Ntagali said the moral decay in the society impacts on communities calling upon leaders of the church to be on the forefront to stem evils.
"East African Revival has been the backbone of our faith in the Church of Uganda, unfortunately the light of revival is getting dim and the church is increasingly becoming overtaken by the contemporary waves of evil," Ntagali said.

Here's a piece of information that is neither shocking nor new: magazines Photoshop their models and celebrities, which means their heavenly-lit glow is, gasp, unnatural.
Still, it was a little surprising that a magazine like Self, which claims to promote healthy lifestyles with fitness, nutrition and beauty advice, would sink to such a low level by digitally altering a photograph of a woman who is not a perfect size zero.
Singer/songwriter Kelly Clarkson has been telling people for a long time that she is happy with the way she looks—if she doesn't have a problem with it, why should anyone else? In fact, in the September issue of Self, Clarkson says, "When people talk about my weight, I'm like, 'You seem to have a problem with it; I don't. I'm fine!' I've never felt uncomfortable on the red carpet or anything."
And yet the magazine made every effort possible to conceal what Clarkson actually looks like. On the cover, Clarkson's arms are barely visible and a yellow dot has been strategically placed to hide where her butt meets her lower back. As well, Clarkson's white pants against a white backdrop make her legs pretty much invisible. Self's editor-in-chief Lucy Danziger has admitted to altering the photo, saying:
"Kelly Clarkson exudes confidence, and is a great role model for women of all sizes and stages of their life. She works out and is strong and healthy, and our picture shows her confidence and beauty. She literally glows from within. That is the feeling we'd all want to have. We love this cover and we love Kelly Clarkson."
Oh, of course! They were just trying to show a strong, confident Kelly Clarkson. The heavier Clarkson could not possibly be any of these things. No, it's just not believable that a woman could be confident and content with her own body image if she's anything larger than a size two. And as a magazine that is all about promoting health and beauty, that is exactly the message they are sending to women, women who probably already thought it was fine to not feel as if they have to fit into the generic Hollywood mould.
But clearly, from the messages Self is sending out, these women are mistaken. In order to be taken seriously, especially if you're a woman, you better be skinny or be prepared to do everything you can to be skinny. If you don't, what chance do you really have at true happiness? According to Self, the answer is zero.
You know what's really great about the magazine cover? Other than all those headlines that read "Slim Down Your Way" and "Total Body Confidence" that are placed right next to Clarkson's body, there is an ironic message in tiny purple writing that says: "Stay true to you and everyone else will love you, too."
Really? They will? Will they love me though, or will it be what some magazine editor thinks I should look like? One does have to wonder though, why did Self even bother putting Clarkson on their cover? Next time Self, just save yourselves some money and find a Hollywood starlet that is supposedly real, healthy and can fit into your size zero clothing to put on the cover of your magazine because clearly, what you're telling me is that a real girl with real confidence is never going to be deemed worthy enough, so let's not even bother to pretend anymore.
You can read Lucy Danziger's full blog at Self's website where she explains why she retouched the photo.

After Audio Burnout
For three years I lived without a stereo, then a year ago a room became available to dedicate to music and movies. So after the new "media room" got its makeover, I bought a used Rotel front-end, a pair of Selah Audio Tanzanites and strung them together with Moon Audio Black Dragon interconnects and speaker cable––and started listening to music at home again. What led to that three year hiatus?
Perhaps audio burnout began for me when my wife Julia and I bought a mid-50s modernist house with a strikingly open floor plan and its entire north side in glass. All that glass and all that openness played such havoc with reflection and echo that even using Cain & Cain single-horn speakers and listening nearfield couldn't get all those oddly wandering air-pressure waves to cohere. But I suspect that was just a fancy sounding rationale for something closer to home. "Audiophile" literally means "sound lover". When does a sound lover become a fetishist? For me it began with such things as wanting to hear precisely how the floor was creaking as the first violinist shifted back and forth in her chair. Burnout then was only temporarily delayed by that other fetish: the need to buy the next (latest and thereby greatest) "silver bullet to perfect sound" boys' toy.
Audio burnout means being able to hear everything while nothing makes emotional sense anymore. What's telling here, at least for me, is your lower jaw: does it unconsciously clench when you're listening, or rather when you're analytically straining to hear ...well, what? The first violinist's creaking chair? The difference in the timbral signature between her violin and the second violinist's (which, of course, you can exactly locate in their fixed and unwavering positions in the soundfield)?
So I took a time out. Three years later, what changed? I got that dedicated listening room. I also got tired of listening in the car. Or perhaps I was just ready to connect again with music on its own terms.
Let's consider the room. It's small: a 9 foot by 12 foot rectangle with a sloping ceiling from 6 and a half feet in the rear to 8 feet 3 inches in the front. A single window in a decent location. A single couch, two custom built-in cabinets, and nothing else besides a Sound Anchor equipment stand between the cabinets along the front wall. Luckily the music that attracts me is as intimate in scale as that of this room. My last speakers were Cain & Cain prototypes, in part because I listen most to the way a human voice can inflect a song to surprise you with new meaning, and voices are genuinely intimate through single-driver speakers. But the location of the left cabinet in relation to the arc of the room's door eliminated floor-standing speakers. I needed a sealed box that could be placed within 7 inches of the front wall on top of each cabinet. After some research and an email exchange with Selah Audio's owner and designer Rick Craig, I ordered a pair of his "best version" Tanzanites. I've listened to them for over a year, and you'll be hearing more about them in a future report. Suffice it to say that in this room nothing would have worked if the speakers didn't work. They work.
OK, so I had my $1750 speakers (yes, paid regular price). And I needed to stay within a $5000 budget. What I needed next was a "relatively inexpensive" low noise-floor front-end. I asked myself: Who makes the cheapest solid-state front-end that will give me at least a chance to relax when listening? Rotel for one. I went to Audiogon and got a "like new" RCD-1072 CD player and an equally "like new" RA-1062 integrated amp for a total of $1000. They mate fine with the Tanzanites. I'm not going to "comment" on the Rotels as they've been commented on to death elsewhere. Suffice it to say that CD player was designed to "play with" the integrated amp. Together they represent a reliable, "relatively inexpensive" way to get the speakers to do the job they do remarkably well. And cables? I figured I should just ask the guy who designed the Tanzanites which cables he'd recommend; Rick suggested Moon Audio. More on the Black Dragons later when I compare them to Kimber's best stuff (on loan from our dear Editor).
So for the past year I've been listening to the above set-up and have been happy. Except. Well, except every now and then I notice the Rotel front-end as a front-end. Suddenly there's that slight edge in the mid-highs that whispers "spend money on tubes". And I then remind myself about my deep dark never to be repeated $10,000 tube amp past. But Chinese imports now mean you can get "relatively inexpensive" tube amps. Would one make a difference that's honestly worthwhile? I'll let you know soon enough.
The other temptation is upgrading the RCD-1072 with an outboard DAC. Here the question has become: Has the science of digital reproduction advanced to the point where there's not all that much room for art? I went to Selah Audio because I suspected Rick could design a crossover that could take three drivers in a relatively small sealed box and make them collectively disappear. Given that I know single-driver sound pretty well, I've been pleasantly surprised by just what an art Rick's science has proven to be. But what room is still left for art in designing "relatively inexpensive" DACs this far into the life of digital sound reproduction? I wanted to find out, so I'll be commenting on just what difference the AudioNemesis DC-1 DAC has made.
And that will be it. Oh, I know there's always more to play with, most particularly in customizing the room's sonic signature both physically and by going to a fully "intelligent" digital reproduction chain. But right now, after being mostly, if not completely, satisfied with an honest to God "less than $5000" system, will relatively inexpensive tubes and a relatively inexpensive DAC turn a relatively inexpensive system into a jaw-relaxing simply satisfying one?
Next installment: Is the AudioNemesis DC-1 DAC an honestly worthwhile upgrade?

New Delhi: The naked body of a 26-year-old man was found lying on the ground under mysterious circumstances at an apartment complex in southwest Delhi's Dwarka where he had gone to meet a friend, police said today.
The victim, Saurabh Ghai, had gone to meet Amit Puri (31) whom he had befriended on Facebook around 2-3 weeks ago.
A senior police officers said their Facebook chat showed that they were homosexuals.
Saurabh had gone to Amit's third-floor flat in Dwarka yesterday evening, the officer said, adding that the duo consumed alcohol and even got "physically intimate".
Around 8 PM, Saurabh fell from the third floor of the building. He was found lying on the ground "without clothes" and a PCR call was made by an onlooker, said the officer.
The body has been sent for post-mortem and results are awaited, the officer said.
A case will be registered after post-mortem report is received.
"We don't know whether there was any foul play in the incident. It remains to be determined whether Amit pushed Saurabh after they had a fight or Saurabh fell down accidentally since he was drunk. The boys had also consumed drugs," said the senior police officer.
Amit is working with a Gurgaon-based BPO while Saurabh was unemployed. Saurabh was working with Taxi For Sure but after Ola took over the tax aggregator, he had been laid off.
Saurabh was a resident of Uttam Nagar and had lied to his family that he is going for a movie, said the officer, adding that his family was in a state of shock after the incident.

Australians with multiple mobile devices will soon enjoy data sharing plans from Telstra
Over the weekend Telstra announced that they will soon be introducing data sharing plans for Australians. This will be targeted for those who have more than one mobile device – say a smartphone and a tablet – and want to experience data use on both devices without having to pay for an extra data plan. With the population moving to a multi-device mindset, it is reasonable for carriers to begin offering such plans.
I currently use a Telstra SIM for my phone and an Amaysim SIM for my tablet, but if these upcoming data sharing plans are offered at a reasonable price you may soon see me flying the Telstra flag. Time will tell how viable Telstra makes these plans but for now we can just hope they are on the cheaper side. More information will come out over the "next few months" but until then we're only able to twiddle our thumbs.

He allegedly admitted to playing with matches shortly before the fire happened and said that he thought he put the fire out, but admitted to burning a cardboard box in the northwest portion of the garage, where the fire appeared to have started.
The owner of the property, Harvey Riebe of Darwin, estimated the garage value at $10,000. The renter estimated between $3,000 and $4,000 in property inside the garage was damaged.

Moving inland, amenities abound for just about anything apartment residents could need on Huntington Beach's main thoroughfare of Beach Boulevard.
Top employers in the city include Boeing, Quicksilver, Cambro Manufacturing, and C&D Aerospace.
With nearly 200,000 residents, it's the most populated beach town in Orange County.
Eight-six percent of the population is under the age of 65 and, among that group, the population demographic is spread out consistently with a median age of 41 years.

Lasers and IPL work for facial redness by selectively targeting the red color.

The story (and song) behind Suzanne Vega's meeting with Prince Charles
On July 20, 1986, the concert of the Live Prince's Trust at Wembley Stadium put on by Prince Charles and Princess Diana included a rock royalty lineup of Paul McCartney, Elton John, Phil Collins, Sting, Tina Turner and … Suzanne Vega?
Vega's appearance was peculiar as her 1985 debut album barely dented the charts compared to the headliners in the Prince's Trust lineup. Making the most of her opportunity, New York City-native Vega wowed over the crowd, including Prince Charles, who was so impressed that he gave the orders to have her meet the royal couple after the show.
One of the numbers performed that night was Marlene on the Wall, which only reached No. 85 on the UK singles chart in 1985, but was re-released and made it as high as No. 21 on the UK charts after her Live Trust performance.
Less than a year later, Vega would break out in her home country with the No. 3 smash "Luka" and go on to have more success with another Top 10 hit in 1990 with the remix of Tom's Diner – which is the diner where Jerry, George, Kramer and Elaine all spent time doing nothing in Seinfeld. Vega still strums away in concerts all over the globe.

And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he (Jesus) went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. And Simon, and they that were with him, followed after him. And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee. And he said unto them, "Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because for this purpose I have come forth." - Mark 1:35-38
Jesus is a get-it-done sort of fella. Jesus was in Capernaum and the Bible says IMMEDIATELY He started teaching in the synagogue, He visited Peter's house and healed Peter's mother in law. By this time word had gotten out that Jesus was healing people in Capernaum, EVERYONE started coming out. They were bringing the sick, demonized, anyone who wanted what Jesus was handing out. Not a bad day in the life of The Messiah.
Can you imagine going to school, work or just to visit a family member and you start operating in this power of God's love the way Jesus was? Then others start coming and hitting you up to pray for them and heal them. Isn't this what we pray for? Isn't this the revival we contend for?
The next part I love the most. See Jesus didn't "do the stuff" and then sleep in until noon because He had a long night of ministry. It says He got up early and went somewhere alone, where no one else was. He was undoubtedly trying to get alone with Father God. But the people wouldn't leave him alone; as a matter of fact they followed Him only to tell Him that the city was looking for Him. You see, Capernaum was on FIRE! Revival had broken out, and Peter and the gang were pretty pumped up (as you can imagine). But Jesus had other plans. Jesus said, "Let's roll."
Wait. What?!
So revival is breaking out..demons being cast out…people getting healed. Jesus is preaching and He wants to leave?
Jesus' answer to the crowds of people asking Him to return from his place of early morning prayer was simply, "No". Jesus said no, because He said Yes.
You see, Jesus is on a journey throughout Galilee and He's got somewhere to be…Jerusalem. Jesus said YES to the cross and He had somewhere to be. Now along the way He gets interrupted, so He stops and teaches, answers questions, heals, serves, loves and does all the amazing things we read about. But He never lost focus of that ONE purpose. Jesus is focused and is very clear on what His life is about. He has set up boundaries so that He can accomplish what He said yes to. This crowd of people surrounded him. He was doing good things. Now there's a crowd with expectations and his disciples aren't sure what to do. So Jesus goes and talks with His Father because there is no doubt that He is also desiring to stay and minister longer in Capernaum, but listening to God's voice over the voice of crowd allowed Jesus to stay on track. Jesus never does anything out of obligation.
Have you ever had the expectations of others dictate what you do? When was the last time you got to retreat and listen to the Father?
Jesus could have easily of stayed with his disciples and "managed" what had happened in Capernaum. But the Father knew that Jesus had other things ahead. What was happening was good, but it wasn't what was best. It's when we become so busy doing all these good things, managing what is good, that we have no energy left for the ONE thing.
Are you living life with purpose? Are the crowds and expectations of people controlling you and your "ministry?"
Revelation chapter 2 is a letter to a church of Ephesus and the first part of the letter is about how awesome the church does is at what it does. But then the letter takes a turn and the Lord begins to say "I like how you've managed your church, but you forgot Me…return to your first love." Return to intimacy with ME! Retreat and seek Me.
Family, revival IS happening and it's just going to get more amazing. We cannot allow ourselves to be infatuated and influenced by expectations of crowds and "ministry." We must remember what our YES to the Lord is. Sometimes it's ok to say NO to good things to pursue the ONE thing. So as you journey to the destiny and purpose of your YES may you stop along the way and allow the interruptions of ministering God's love encourage you. And may you have the courage to say NO because you've already said YES.

I think we are looking at that trial court, right now.
If you read the errors committed by Judge Kendall in not following the guidance of the
en banc
circuit in
as enumerated by the panel in
we are seeing it happen at this minute.
Remember, the panel held that irreparable harm was ongoing. They issued a mandate to the trial court: Docket entry #112;
The district court's order denying the plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction is REVERSED, with costs, and the case is REMANDED with instructions to enter a preliminary injunction consistent with this opinion.
Judge Kendall ignored the mandate and proceeded with the MTD for mootness as if there were no harm being committed.
Coincidently, this also goes against the direct wording of the SCOTUS in
The very enumeration of the right takes out of the hands of government—
even the Third Branch of Government
—the power to decide on a case-by-case basis whether the right is really worth insisting upon. A constitutional guarantee subject to future judges' assessments of its usefulness is no constitutional guarantee at all.
Judge Kendall has already decided just that.

There, I said it. I can appreciate one's creativity, I can appreciate one's work ethic, I can appreciate one's mental fortitude, but I cannot (and shouldn't be required to) appreciate someone's sexuality. Call me old-fashioned, but I don't believe that somebody's sexual preferences should define them. The fact that I like women, doesn't determine who I am as a man… My principles do. Am I so wrong as to think that the same litmus test should apply across the board?
So we all know about the "Perez Hilton/Miss U.S.A" fiasco. Perez carried out a low-down, dirty trick by asking a political question (a practice from which the judges are strictly forbidden) in regards to Proposition 8. He did so in an attempt to demonize a Christian contestant knowing full well that she held the institution of marriage as being exclusive to "a man and a woman."
Now Perez could have chosen from a multitude of more appropriate questions to ask, yet (as always), it comes back to some sort of question about sexuality.
Why? Why does the "gay lifestyle" always have to be about sexual preferences, at least according to self-deemed "gay ambassadors" such as Hilton?
If the goal is to normalize the gay lifestyle, shouldn't your attraction to members of the same sex simply be incidental? Couldn't you be a gay carpenter, a gay surfer or gay log-home enthusiast? Why does being gay in the public eye have to start and end with sexuality?
To be honest, I think that the gay community's been hijacked by people like Perez Hilton for far too long. Most people (gay or straight) would be disgusted by his website, YouTube videos (one of which involves him covering himself in peanut butter with sexual overtones) or his size XXXL T-shirts riddled with vulgar slogans.
Gay or straight, things like that (along with his recent treatment of Miss California) go against common decency, and we should be able to recognize that regardless of his sexuality.
Perez Hilton sets a terrible example for the gay community and I would think that gay folks should be even more outraged than the rest of us. A guy like him can set progress back 20 years.
Do people understand, that conservatives aren't rejecting the right to personal choice, but we're rejecting the incentive to push a hyper-sexually charged message to the public? Yet if we state the obvious, we have the "homophobe" card thrown at us faster than a duck on a junebug.
Wrong is wrong, despite whatever is currently on the politically correct menu. What Perez Hilton did (which has nothing to do with gay marriage in itself) was wrong. His comments afterward were wrong.
I don't judge people based on race, gender or sexual orientation, and I will no longer hear liberals accuse conservatives of doing so every time they rightfully make a moral judgment based on careless (or in this case, pre-meditated and mean-spirited) actions.
"By the content of his character," I say.
"Oh, but you need to appreciate me for who I am!" – Okay, Perez Hilton. You're a jack-ass. Consider it done.

For me nicki minaj is not just about the music and the sick lyrics. she is a strong independant woman who has came through alot. Without her music i would probably still be stuck in a dark place. She reminds me that there is so much more to life and to just get on with it and forget the haters (: whenever i feel down i just play her music & im in a different place

Gupta Empire.

The Gupta Empire was started by Chandra Gupta in India The empire existed during India's Golden Age . Gupta empire contributed to our society in many ways. They gave us Arabic numbers, the decimal system, and the concept of 0. People of the Gupta Empire had pets. There pets were mainly birds. Most families had parrots as a pet, except for the royal families they usually had peacocks. The homes that the people lived in were mostly one room huts made of wood or bamboo, with thatched roofs. The Larger homes had several rooms and balconies.

Why do we celebrate celebrities like Jennie Garth who go from thin to thinner?
A few days ago, I had a proud parent moment when my 16-year-old daughter grabbed the latest issue of People magazine — yes, we subscribe — and complained about the cover story celebrating actress Jennie Garth's 30-pound weight loss as if she'd once been overweight.
I grabbed the issue and agreed that Garth looked better before her weight loss (and did an internal happy dance that my daughter wasn't aspiring to reach such unrealistic proportions). While Garth is gorgeous at any weight, she looked gaunt and tired in one of the candid recent snapshots inside the magazine, as if she'd recently been through a harrowing divorce.
Oh right, she has.
(Full disclosure: I briefly met Garth a few years ago at an American Heart Association dinner during her "before photo'' days and thought her figure back then was flawless.)
Celebrating celebrities who go from thin to thinner is nothing new for women's magazines, but I found the timing of the People issue interesting. It came on the heels of Wisconsin anchorwoman Jennifer Livingston's public crusade against a viewer who criticized her in an email for being overweight and setting a bad example for her viewers.
When I read about Livingston, I wondered why discerning viewers hadn't also called out other TV personalities in angry letters for projecting anorexic-looking physiques on the air. Aren't they setting just as bad an example?
On the other hand, maybe women in the public domain should simply stop making their weight an issue. Do they need to celebrate their successful diet as if it's an accomplishment on par with winning a Nobel prize or, heck, an Emmy?
Lady Gaga's recent 25-pound weight gain was also featured recently in People and a host of other magazines — with some questioning her choice of outfits to hide her growing hips and waistline. The pop star fought back by declaring that she's happy with her body at any size, also revealing that she's trying hard to overcome the anorexia and bulimia she's had since she was 15. She even posted photos of her curvy self in a bra and underwear to show that she's not trying to cover up her new physique.
This inspired size 12 model Robyn Lawley to write a post on the Daily Beast emphasizing that she wouldn't want to be a size 0 anyway and that when she finally embraced her "true weight'' she felt "whole and complete.'' Landing that Ralph Lauren plus-size modeling contract also didn't hurt.
I'd love for my daughter to see the Lawley and Lady Gaga inspiration stories on the cover of People. Perhaps then we can finally move on and stop talking about body weight as news.


text: The procurement database for the 2012 Olympics goes live today, as a bonanza of about £5 billion goes up for grabs by bidders. There is still squabbling about the budget for the games, because the London Development Authority bid a good deal less than that when it was competing with other cities to obtain the event. There is still controversy over whether or not the games will be VAT-exempt, and the political argument underway over that issue will have a significant effect on the final budget determinations. The procurement isn't handled by the people who do the games, of course, but rather by a separate group called the Olympic Development Authority. Yet, however large the whole amount may be - and there have been reports that it will slip up as far as £8 billion - contractors need to find out where and how they fit in. "This is not just about construction," says one IT contractor who has experience on major public projects. "This is about every kind of contracting, from heavy engineering, to architectural modeling to database building. Every type of contractor can find work on this project if the contractor knows how to get through the procurement process." Every type of contractor can find work on this project if the contractor knows how to get through the procurement processIT Contractor Obviously workers and engineers in construction are badly needed. But the project will involve the effective rebuilding of a large part of East London (Stratford is slated to become a kind of Atlanta, Georgia with ecofusion restaurants replacing the chip shops), the creation of new means of mass transit including 10 rail lines and one dedicated high-speed shuttle. Then there is obviously the entire infrastructure for the games themselves, and that will include security for those at the games, catering, hospitality, tourism, and much more. Businesses from all sectors including construction, manufacturing, merchandise, retail, business and financial services, media and creative industries will be needed from across the UK. "The experience of the Sydney 2000 Games showed that New South Wales' business won the equivalent of £400 million in contracts for the Games, with more than £115 million going to regional companies," the spokesman adds. And now is the time to start competing for the new contracts. "The vast majority of contracts will be awarded from mid-2007 onwards according to a spokesman for the Olympic Development Authority. "As of February 8, 2007, a new page will be added to the business section of our website. While all procurement opportunities will be handled by the trans-European process mandated by European Union Law, they should all be visible on this site as well. The spokesman for the Olympic Development Authority assures us that , even though the development process is just getting started, with the redesign of the Olympic park underway and the initial land purchases taking place, there is still plenty of work to be put up for tender even in the next few weeks. Contractors should be aware that the Authority is not the only organisation involved in the procurement process. This is of course logical as the work involves many civic organisations which have nothing directly to do with the Olympic Games. The Authority has sought to share a common procurement approach with that of the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games, the Greater London Authority and the London Development Agency. The object is to achieve sustainable development by maximising the economic, social, health and environmental benefits of the Games. Here is how the procurement process will work. Within the "Programme for the Games and Legacy", different venues and elements of infrastructure will be broken down into a series of separate projects, within which a number of contracts/services will need to be procured, each with particular characteristics. Each segment will be detailed within the procurement code, a portion of which will be listed with each tender. There will be working instructions for each segment. In accordance with European Commission legislation, all bids will be made via electronic means, and handled by a platform. The best advice to contractors is to go to the website, and to get hold of the working instructions for the specific segment the contractor will want to bid on. The contractor may be well advised to work with a group of other contractors, forming a consortium, if the project is large enough to warrant it. If the contractor puts together a professional bid, with a bit of luck, the contractor could find work that will last for a long time.

There is nothing, absolutely nothing, half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. Until you drop your keys overboard, then it all becomes a bit of a chore. Next time, attach the Waterbuoy and, within seconds of hitting the water, environmentally friendly gas will automatically inflate the reinforced rubber balloon to save your keys from being lost in the gloomy depths. You don't have to stop at keys either - clip the Waterbuoy to any item weighing up to 1kg and it will happily float on the water for 24 hours. If you're going to drop something in the river, chances are you'll do it in the dark (it's the law of the sod - or something like that) which is why the crafty inventors have included a blinking LED light in just the right place to make your floating gizmo visible from up to 250m away. This makes the Waterbuoy the world's first and only miniature floatation device that's visible at night.
So if you simply love messing about on the river or fancy a life on the ocean waves make sure you keep plenty of these handy gadgets onboard (they're one use only - but hopefully you'll have learnt your lesson the first few times you drop your keys overboard). The next time your keys go overboard you won't have to waste money on a submarine if you've remembered to attach the Waterbuoy.

We bought 2 for our sailboat. The first went off as expected when the attached camera fell in the water. The balloon promptly burst and the camera sank to the bottom. The second went off by itself in a backpack, there was no water involved. Both were less than a year old. Support emails reporting the incidents to Waterbouy were ignored.
Bought this Waterbuoy as a present for my pal who has a boat. After hearing stories of glasses, phones, keys going over board, what a fab idea!
I purchased this Waterbuoy to replace the one that had rescued my keys which had fallen overboard. It worked perfectly. I wouldn't be without one on a boat!
The Waterbuoy was well packaged. Would definitely recommend and buy from IWOOT again.
Bought this for my dad to replace the enormous and unwieldy giant cork keyring that previously protected his keys. Much less embarrassing to walk about with this discreet little gadget in his pocket! Very pleased indeed!
The Waterbuoy is a great item, thanks.
The Waterbuoy is fantastic.
This is great unless you have a tendancy to drop your keys a lot as it can go bang! My stepdad has been through 3 but I haven't found a keyring that does the same key saving job.
Brother in law was very impressed with the waterbuoy- useful when canoeing!!
Haven't used it as we bought it for a water-sports kind of person but he loved it!
My dad and brothers loved these! So much better than the big bulky cork keyrings! A real winner!!
will make a great gift for a sea angling brother-in -law
This product was excellent. My fater brought a boat and had this awful massive sponge keyring on his keys, just in case they fell in the water, but this waterbouy keyring I brought, was modern and perfect for a gadget obsessed father. He was very pleased (& it actually works!!!)

Growth attributes to emerging markets, Spanish-speaking nations, demand for web videos usage due to increase in oil price. However, high-traffic users are facing download problem due to some American Internet service providers.
Dallas, Texas (WiredPRNews.com)—Worldwide Internet usage is up but at a slower rate than at this time last year, according to a recent report.
According to an Associated Press article by Peter Svensson that appeared in Yahoo News.com on September 3, 2008, the research group TeleGeography released data showing that large increases happened in areas between the United States and Spanish-speaking nations in Central and South-America.
The report indicated that on trans-oceanic optical fiber lines, the bandwidth capacity rose over 60%. Emerging markets showed the highest growth, according to the report, which also noted that overall traffic is high because of the demand for web videos. Another possible reason for increased use of the web could be high fuel costs, which have spurred more people to telecommute and conduct meetings via web conferencing software.
Increased surcharges by airlines to check bags and higher ticket prices have made businesses resort to more cost-efficient ways to conference with clients, vendors and associates. While web conferencing lacks the personal touch, the time and money savings are astronomical. Many firms are using web videos to deliver up-to-the minute training videos to cover things such as setting up retail displays to product use demonstrations.
The TeleGeography Research report, however, showed that high-traffic users are facing download limits imposed by some American Internet service providers. But even with these limits, businesses still come out much farther ahead in terms of time and overhead cost efficiency with web-based videos instead of driving or flying to meetings.

This article submitted to Educational Developments (SEDA) reports on the use of dialogue as an assessment mechanims for professional learning. The article outlines how dialogue has been used across a range of initial professional development and continuing professional development programmes targeting HE academics. It examines the theoretical underpinnings for the use of dialogue in this context, provides evidence on its impact when used with students, and then explores a broader application for professional dialogue beyond accredited programmes.

Back On The FieldPosted by on April 16, 2010 – 1:08 pm
The first voluntary minicamp of the Mike Shanahan/Bruce Allen era starts today, and it's pretty much exactly the same as — wait a second, is that Larry Johnson and Willie Parker with Clinton Portis?!?!?
It is. And there were a lot of those moments out on the field today. Guys who are new to the Redskins. Guys who have been on the Redskins but have new numbers (Lorenzo Alexander in 97, for example). New coaches everywhere. It's all going to take some getting used to, but the energy level today seemed high and the weather was gorgeous, so I suppose you can call that a solid start.
If you look closely, you can see Donovan McNabb grinning. Anyone who even seems happy in practice is okay by me.
Number 36 is Darrel Young, who has moved from LB to FB.
I have no idea how Marko Mitchell can catch the ball with his gloves flapping in front of his face.
Photographic proof that, yes, Carlos Rogers and Clinton Portis were both here. And, as promised yesterday, here's Colt Brennan in a Redskins 15. I like it. Makes him look positively Collins-esque.

Hello to you, wherever you might be.
This morning, I have been pondering, just how amazing is the speed we can correspond with people... to be able to send and receive emails, from all over the world... instantly... no going to the post office to post a letter, or waiting a week of more to receive... just instant delivery via computers. I am able to use this method to correspond with you, and thousands of other people by the simple click of a key on my computer, to share information about herbs and natural health that may benefit many people.
Make your garden a wonderful place of peace where plants flourish, and food plants to sustain you will be at their optimum nutrition.

How important is potassium to well-being?
properties of plants
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has indicated that the mineral potassium is very important to health. Increasing potassium-rich foods in the diet is found to lower blood pressure. Potassium s role is vital to muscular tissue, which is important for strength and vigor. It is an important mineral for keeping the heart muscle beating in a steady, constant rhythm.
It is essential, for digestion of carbohydrates and the liver s conversion of glucose, to be utilised as an energy source. Potassium aids blood and oxygen circulation, and assists with elimination of blood impurities and toxic wastes.
Potassium helps maintain water balance, supports muscle and nerve cells, kidney and adrenal function. It is essential for production and storage of glycogen, the source of energy for exercising muscles. Research has shown that people with a high potassium diet retain more muscle and will keep a younger appearance with age. Women need 2.8 grams of potassium and men 3.8 grams per day.
A salad made with salad mallow leaves (Corchorus olitorius) can provide potassium in a high quantity for our daily needs, as well as other minerals, vitamins and a high protein, of 20.4%. A leaf analysis of salad mallow done at a Brisbane laboratory for mineral content, revealed, exceptionally high potassium, at 3068mg per 100 grams of leaf, making it possibly the richest plant source of potassium that we can grow. It is also very high in calcium, 1432mg per 100 grams of leaves; and also Vitamin A, 3500 IU per 100 grams of leaves.
Growing a crop of licorice has been found
Recently, I took the time to do some research on licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), as I had been told that licorice has been grown in various countries around the globe, to help lower salinity levels in soils. Decades of over-ambitious irrigation projects, poor management of drainage systems, and heavy cropping have taken their toll on some farming soils. Mobilised profile salt, gradually drawn to the soil-surface through capillary action, and accumulated due to evaporation, has resulted in highly saline soils that are no longer able to grow crops. On the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, we do not have a problem with soil salinity, but I have heard of areas in Australia that do have this problem. Just last night there was a news segment on TV about salinity in Australian soils.
to be an antidote to salt
Licorice is indeed a valuable herb for us to grow and use in our daily lives. It has a honored position in traditional Chinese medicine, with the principle of prevention, by regulating, strengthening and invigorating the whole body. Licorice is valued as a harmonising herb, that extends out to organs, and reaches every muscle, nerve and cell of the body, balancing formulas, and also lengthening the period of time that a herbal tonic formula will benefit the body. Ten different bioflavonoids have been found in licorice, that have an effect of strengthening the immune system, fighting cancer cells, and protecting from cancer.
It has been found to help clear mucus in the lungs and discharge from the body. When used together with fresh ginger, it is a reliever of colds and respiratory problems. When used with ginger and cardamom it is a tonic for the teeth. Researchers have found licorice has powerful antiviral and antioxidant action, and can kill bacteria in the mouth, that causes tooth decay. This information should be more readily available. It certainly makes good sense, to have a jar with natural licorice pieces or root sticks available for chewing after a meal (besides, licorice also aids the digestion of food). Grow some licorice for future use; it could help to cut down dentist and doctors bills.
We have had cigarette smokers who have been able to kick the habit, by sucking on the end of a stick of licorice (similar size to a cigarette) to calm their nerves and stress levels with the taste of licorice, and quit smoking.
Licorice helps to preserve adrenal integrity and has a marked effect upon the endocrine system. The glycosides in the plant have a structure that is similar to the natural steroids of the body. Overworked adrenals in hypoglycaemic cases with nervousness, irritability, stress, fatigue, and depression, have been helped with licorice. Many people, who have taken licorice to support the adrenals, find that stress, worry and negative attitudes fall away, and they have more strength and energy to cope with daily life (and without the doped out sensations caused by tranquilizers and drugs).
Licorice has been found to assist the pancreas. Another valuable action of licorice is oestrogen support. This hormone helps to build the endocrine glands, and has been found to be especially helpful in post hysterectomy cases, and the discomforts of menopause. One research report, stated that when oestrogen levels are too high, licorice will inhibit oestrogen action, and when oestrogen are too low, it will potentiate oestrogen action, and that administration of glycyrrhiza of licorice root during the midluteal phase may reduce PMS symptoms.
Analysis of the root has shown it to contain over 600 constituents, and powerful antiviral and antioxidant action. No wonder licorice has been attributed to many remedial applications: coughs, colds, constipation, wheezing, lung complaints, hoarseness, mucus congestion, tonsillitis, indigestion, nausea, abdominal pain and gastrointestinal disorders, poor appetite, fatigue, fevers, burning urine and kidney and bladder ailments, gall stones, allergies, cancers and melanomas, conjunctivitis, earache, toothache, age spots, senility, menstrual discomforts, vaginal thrush, endometriosis, infertility, candida, ankylosing spondylitis, muscular dystrophy, inflammation, arthritic and rheumatic pain, skin allergies, hemorrhoids, nervous tension, insomnia and anxiety, depression, hysteria, diabetes, drug withdrawal, malaria, cramps, Addison's and Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, poor circulation, to lower cholesterol, headaches, herpes, wounds, burns, cold sores, psoriasis, carbuncles, abscesses, and to fight staphylococci. Licorice infusion is used as a wash on skin conditions and acne scars.
A large number of studies have been carried out on its therapeutic benefits particularly for hormonal imbalances, respiratory and liver diseases, duodenal, and peptic ulcers. Numerous trials have been done with patients with gastric ulcers in a number of countries. Licorice can assist the healing of stomach ulcers by spreading a protective gel lining over the stomach wall, lowering acid levels, as well as easing painful spasms. Licorice root made as a tea to gargle, has been found to heal mouth ulcers.
Licorice (and even licorice lollies) should be avoided in cases of high blood pressure, cardiac or kidney insufficiency, fluid retention, or myasthenia gravis sufferers (rare muscle disease). Licorice may be incompatible or interfere with prescription drugs used for the treatment of hypertension or heart failure. If wishing to use licorice while under medication, use under the guidance of a health care practitioner. Pregnant women are wise to avoid licorice, as it may cause fluid retention.
Licorice is considered restorative and rejuvenating, calming the mind and having a nurturing effect on the body. Licorice is said to nourish the brain and increase cranial and cerebrospinal fluid, improve voice, vision, hair, complexion, give strength, keep the body agile and alert, allowing one to age in years, without ageing in body.
The human heart beats over two billion times in a lifetime without stopping!
Herbs that have been used to care for the heart, include: motherwort, yerba mate, brahmi, borage, chillies, fenugreek, hawthorn, heartsease, chickweed, and rosemary.
Adding fibre to the diet helps lower blood pressure, according to research reported in the Journal of Nutrition. Increasing fiber in our daily diet also reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. We can get good sources of fiber in whole grains, sprouts, salad greens and vegetables.
Research Shows Dark Chocolate Lowers Blood Pressure.
Dark chocolate lowers blood pressure, according to 15 studies published from 1955 to 2009 and reported in the British newspaper The Telegraph. Dark chocolate contains more of the nutrients that have been found to lower blood pressure. Research has shown that those who consume one dark chocolate bar a week reduce their risk of having a stroke by 22%.
Swiss researchers have found the anti-oxidants in the coco-rich content of dark chocolate can help correct imbalances in the body that relate to stress.
Yarrow tincture is used to counter bacteria internally and externally. Dab the tincture on mosquito bites or bites of other insects, as this treatment can stop infections. For wounds, wash the area with yarrow tincture, and then wet a dressing in yarrow tincture and apply to wound area and bandage. As a cold prevention use 5-10 drops of yarrow tincture. For treating a cold, use a dropper-full of tincture every 4 to 5 hours at the worst of the cold, then gradually tapering off. For a sore throat, gargle with yarrow tincture.
In the last few years the media has warned us of swine flu and bird flu, and recently the hendra virus. We can take various precautions, and it is good for us to strengthen our immune system with antioxidant-rich herbs and foods, like: gotu kola, herb robert, sheep sorrel, nasturtium, ginger, licorice, turmeric, watercress, nettle, king of bitters, chia, sambung, lemons, mandarines and oranges, acerola cherries, pomegranates, pawpaws, guava, and plants in the brassicaceae family... to name a few.
And perhaps we can arm ourselves with lots of smiles too.
The following verse (by an unknown author) helps to lighten our spirits.
Smiling is contagious, you catch it like the flu When someone smiled at me today I started smiling too. I passed around the corner, and someone saw my grin - When he smiled, I realised, I had passed it on to him!
I thought about that smile, then I realised it's worth, A single smile - just like mine Could travel round the earth! So if you feel a smile begin, don't leave it undetected Let s start an epidemic quick and get the world infected!
At present I am researching the Cranberry Hibiscus plant which is a source of anthocyanins. Several studies have shown anthocyanins provide action in controlling the activities of inflammation in the body. Inflammation is the starting point of a number of dreaded diseases such as osteoporosis, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's, etc. So, anthocyanins anti-aging benefits can provide a practical action for people in the 'seniors bracket'... infact, for all people, as we all get one day older every day... we cannot stop time, but various plant substances can perhaps help us mellow more moderately and majestically. More on the cranberry hibiscus next Newsletter.
BOOKs recently read..."There is Always an Alternative"
by Dr Baratosy, who has been in general practice in Adelaide since 1985 and uses various modalities such as acupuncture, homeopathy, and other natural therapies and combines these with nutritional medicine, lifestyle changes, etc. The natural, preventative approach is the best means of dealing with health problems.
The book is the story of an orthodox doctor seeking out alternatives because he could see that the system he was in was producing serious problems. Eventually he concluded that there is always an alternative. When you know, that there are alternatives which are safer, cheaper and just as effective, then you make comparisons. He is concerned that many pharmaceutical drugs are unproven and unscientific. In fact, it was quoted in the Australian Doctor's Weekly 28/6/91 that 2/3rds of conventional medicine is unproven. Everyone reading this book will find something of interest, whether the reader is a parent, student, practitioner, or doctor. The book is not designed or intended as a self-help book, nor is it a textbook of Alternative Medicine.
It is about the experiences of a doctor who found that alternative treatments as a viable option in the treatment of disease, and increasing the health of patients. Dr. Baratosy says, Patients come to doctors for help, and we should do our best, not make them worse. He says, that doctors must follow Hippocrates example of "First Do No Harm". Dr. Baratosy's goal is to change the way medicine is practiced in Australia, and people need to be encouraged to look after their own health. They need to be informed, they need more knowledge, and they need to be involved.
"Cancer can be Cured!"
The book is of Romano Zago sharing his experiences with using a folklore recipe from South America that contains the juice made from the whole leaf of Aloe arborescens, wine and honey, which has been traditionally used for many illnesses including all types of cancer.
When working in San Antonio Parish in Brazil in 1988, Father Romano came to hear about the healing properties of Aloe arborescens, and he began to test it with the chronically ill. Later, when working in Israel and Italy, he shared this recipe with the chronically ill and saw so many people return to good health from numerous conditions. This inspired Romano to spend the next 20 years researching Aloe arborescens. He discovered a large array of constituents and health benefits in the plant. For example, the salicylic acid of the plant has been found to have a marked effect as a pain reliever, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic. Studies in Italy at the Palatinin Salzano Venezia Institute discovered that Aloe arborescens is 200% richer in medicinal substances than Aloe vera and contains more than 70% of anti-cancerogenous properties (active ingredients) in comparison to Aloe vera, which is known to contain 40% of these properties.
The book is very compelling and easy to read and offers an enormous potential for reducing cancer risk and cutting cancer death. Chapters include information on how to prepare the recipe using the whole leaf of Aloe arborescens.
At the Herb Farm we have had people call for Aloe arborescens, and later, report back very positive benefits.

From the mail box, and feed back from people...This segment in the Newsletter, gives snippets and experiences, from other people, as it is these very 'down to earth' uses, which have given people better health, and then, these experiences can encourage other people, to give herbs a go.
Judy emailed... I have been eating Gotu kola now for approximately 10 years. Before this, had been suffering from dreadful pain in my wrists. After eating Gotu kola for a couple of weeks the pain was completely gone...amazing!!! I am 65 years of age and can't get by without my Gotu kola. Thank you for writing about Gotu kola. Judy
Recently, a senior citizen called to pick up more gotu kola for his wife, and he shared with me that when she started drinking the herb tea 4 weeks ago she suffered with severe pain from arthritis and was limited with what she was able to do because of stiff and swollen joints. She also suffered with extreme hot flushes (even in the colder winter months). She had been on HRT, but this had side affects including blood clots. After taking gotu kola as a tea for 4 weeks, she has relief from constant pain, more mobility, she can now put her rings on her fingers again, and she has not had any hot flushes.
Change of life, the 'M' word so many women, me included, find difficult to accept. I found myself feeling down, anxious and even lacking courage to face life's challenges. Motherwort, just a couple of fresh leaves as a tea, I just added a leaf of lemon verbena for the palate, and in a gentle, but noticeable way, my days seemed easier to face. Thankyou MOTHERwort !
love and light, smiddy/jane
[ and Isabell added... Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) is a very special herb for many health benefits. The name Leonurus is derived from a Greek word meaning lion s tail, describing the shape of its leaves; and cardiaca indicates it has benefits for the heart and cardiovascular system. It is a folk remedy for regulating the heartbeat and the associated anxiety, and for lowering blood pressure. Also, it is valued for regulating the menstrual cycle and pain. The herb contains a constituent that promotes menstrual blood flow and has been used to start delayed periods. If taken regularly, it may help erratic menstrual cycles to become more regular. It also is used, to give relief in childbirth, and to relieve anxiety of new mothers ].
Hi Isabel and all,
We have been enjoying the teas and their benefits and are keen to order some more and also try out some new ones. My daughter has been having the Herb Robert tea and I believe that the eczema she has had since she was 6 years old, is at last beginning to clear up. It causes her hands to become very dry, red raw, cracked and bleeding. We have been to specialists and tried many creams, but nothing helped to a great extent or for very long and some products made it worse. I did make a comfrey cream, which seemed to help a bit and pawpaw ointment has given her some relief, but the Herb Robert tea seems to be giving her subtle and ongoing relief. Thanks heavens, as she is getting married at the end of October. Now her hands will be as perfect as she could wish for. Liz, Qld.
Recently, Peter called at the Herb Farm and shared his experience. He had been taking nettle tea for 4 months and his doctor has declared him completely free of esophagus cancer.
We recently had relatives over for a meal, and we served a salad of lettuce leaves and other greens from the garden including some edible weeds that we learnt about in your Self-sufficiency Book. Everyone at the table commented at how enjoyable it was. Tom
Isabell, I appreciate your Self-Sufficiency Book very much. I received it as a birthday gift from a friend, and what a special gift it is. Reading the book, has made me see that my family must be more self-sufficient and prepared for any crisis. I have started growing a variety of edible plants, and put aside a food storage system too. Penny
Annick emailed 29/6/10
My dog Anouch is doing great on the herbs gotu kola, herb Robert, king of bitters, essiac, and chia seeds and I believe it is a great part, thanks to these. To refresh your memory he was diagnosed with cancer of the liver, after removal of his spleen and tumor on his spleen last October; he was given 6 months max to live, and it is now close to 9 months - and a very happy 13 year old golden retriever!!! We are thrilled and living everyday to the full. (Note: my vet had enquired if I wanted Anouch euthanized after the spleen removal op! You should have seen my "face"!!! NO WAY!!! We would try our very best to extend his happy and healthy life as long as we could... and I found out through this experience that he is a fighter, and loves his life).
And then Annick emailed 4/7/10
I also wanted to say that I enjoy reading your newsletter so very much; there are so many valuable experiences to be read, and heaps more to learn about herbs, every day. I never get tired of learning about our amazing plant allies. I will start drinking herb robert again today!!! Warm regards, and thanks again for all your help and inspiration! Annick
Mary has been giving her dog cool nettle tea to drink. The unpleasant doggie aroma has gone and the dog s coat shines.
Janet s dog has improved so much on herbs, after being very, very sick, and the vet felt it was time to put the dog down. Janet took her pet home, and rang for some herbs... and to follow on... several weeks after Janet started her dog on herb robert, gotu kola and nettle she rang to say, the herbs have been absolutely amazing. Her dog is like a new dog.
[Isabell says... I just love to get information back about pets receiving health benefits of herbs, as there is no placebo affect with animals...herbs do work!]
I have been on herb robert for 6 weeks and am pleased with it. My eyesight is much better. I have been reading with out my reading glasses. The mole on my face is going away. My back pain is going away. The brown spot on my face is getting lighter, and I think it was cancer. Thank you for the help. Pat
Last year I heard about your book: How can I use herbs in my daily life? and Brad, my husband, got it for me. Since then I have carried it everywhere I go. I have been studying from it. It has become my bible of Herbs. The Herb Book has opened my eyes to a new world, I have learnt so much from your book. I also got your DVD: Wonderful world of Herbs. I always wondered if I ever was going to visit your Herb farm. Soon we will be in Mapleton for a few weeks, and just today I have found that I will be so close to you and to your farm. Oh Isabell, I can't explain all my feelings, but I am so excited, happy, motivated, to finally meet in person, my inspiration to fall in love with herbs (I am doing a correspondence course on Herbal Medicine, which I just started after being inspired by your book).
Thank you Nana
I would like to share with you, how I came to hear of your Herb Book, and the blessing it has been. I live at Caloundra, and recently had a holiday in Darwin, where someone told me about the book, and saw that you also live on the Sunshine Coast. I bought a book, and so very much enjoy reading it, and so does my aged mother. Now several months ago Mum was so tottery that she could not walk without support, but after a couple of months of taking gotu kola and herb robert which you mention in your book, she can move around freely on her own and without pain. Reading the book and taking the herbs has turned my Mum's life around. She is so happy and I am very grateful. Pat's daughter
[ next Newsletter, we will include Mum's account ]
Following on from email in the last Newsletter re pests on plants...
Valerie wrote... In regard to pee-ing around plants to prevent slugs and snails eating them, I use diluted urine and pour it over my brassica seedlings if they are infected with aphids. Sometimes hosing the aphids off doesn't work, so I use the urine treatment. I also use urine as a fertilisier around the vegetable garden in moderation. I collect a little in a bucket, keep a lid on and dilute as necessary.
