So, you've been told to work from home. Finally, more time with the family… Wait, more time with the family? How will you get your work done while also homeschooling your children? Maybe you're married and your spouse is home, too. The routine of work has been disrupted, and though many businesses were already turning to remote work, this is something else. So, how do you morph from leaving the house to go to the office to simply walking into your kitchen or home office to begin your day? In other words, how do you draw the line between work and family when you're working from home? We know it can be difficult and unsettling in this troubled time, so we have a few tips to get you started. Getting Started in Your Remote Working Lifestyle DEFINE YOUR WORK SPACE What room can you designate in your house to be your "office." It's best to have someplace with a door, but this isn't always possible. Is it the kitchen table? Ok, but this will mean you need to set strict ground rules about the hours you're "on." Make sure everyone understands when you're "at work." Whether it's your kitchen table, a quiet room, or the end of your sofa with your laptop, these are your remote working tools. In some cases, it may even be a good idea to invest in noise-canceling headphones to help you stay focused. HAVE SET HOURS Define what hours you're working and stick to them. Begin and end your day at the same time. Don't forget to schedule breaks – coffee break, lunch, a stretch of the legs – around the same time each day as well. Work with your team to set hours for when you'll be online working and respond to off-hour messages within your working hours. Without designated hours, it can feel like you're constantly available and always "on" blurring the lines between work and family. Get some fresh air when you can. Step outside for a walk or a coffee, whatever brings you outside can help recharge and energize you for the work ahead. ENSURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TOOLS Remote working apps, videoconferencing tools, and cloud-based filing systems help ensure the job gets done. Make sure you keep your passwords in a safe place and be extra cautious when logging in from a new location. Is your computer up-to-date? Does it have all the security measures and capacity in place for the additional online tools and apps you may need to add? Making sure you address these things can help to solidify your workspace and ensure you're able to meet with your team online and get the job done. FOLLOW THE 20-20-20 RULE The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes look away from your screen and focus your eyes on something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. TAKE A BREAK FROM TALKING ABOUT WORK If you're not used to working-from-home, loneliness can quickly set in. Remember those quick hallway chats or discussions over lunch or coffee? Take that impulse and use it when talking with your team. Have a virtual coffee break. Take a break from work and talk about hobbies, something funny that happened to you, or even just how you're feeling away from everyone. You won't be alone in these feelings with everyone in the same work-from-home boat. These tips can help you put your best foot forward for your remote working lifestyle. But don't forget, you can use these same rules for family time, too. In the wake of work-from-home policies, remote working, and the shifting landscape of working outside the office, technology careers are prime opportunities to both gain increased knowledge in your chosen field or begin your career path. If you're interested in remote Big Data & Analytics opportunities, we may have a role for you. Take a look at our current vacancies or contact one of our expert consultants to find out more.

Facial Recognition software. Autonomous vehicles. Drone delivery. Robotics in manufacturing. 3D Printing. No longer the stuff of science fiction, these advancements are at the heart of the next evolution in the digital age. Developments are not just being made in the tech hubs of Silicon Valley, Austin, or New York, but in the mid-West. Ann Arbor, Michigan home to the University of Michigan and not too far from where Henry Ford first introduced mass production with the help of automation has been advancing robotic technologies across a variety of fields. Giving machines their own set of eyes does require someone to ensure they have the right information to do their jobs. Enter the Computer Vision Engineer. It's estimated this field will see a rise of 19% demand through 2026. It's also a relatively small field with only 5,400 new job openings. So, like many professions, demand is high yet a shortage remains of those Data professionals with the right skillsets. The Business of a Computer Vision Engineer While there are a variety of roles within the field of Computer Vision, the role of Computer Vision engineer focuses on two areas. Those areas are: Writing code in Python/C++ Integrate Data Visualization, image analysis, and imaging simulation controls In addition to these areas, these scientists focus on research, implementation, reaching across teams both human and machine to help solve real world problems. And as important as knowledge and application theory are, it's the hands-on experience which raises the bar for most employers and client companies. Using image recognition, machine learning, and segmentation can help machines learn to differentiate various images. Being able to "see" what the computer may see and correcting it to ensure it's more like human vision takes a special skillset. This can include: Computer Vision librariesDatabase managementComponent or object-oriented softwareAnalytical, logical, and critical thinkingClear reasoning It's these skillsets along with a background in mathematics and computer languages like C++ which pave the Computer Vision engineer career path. The Future of Computer Vision The days of the generalist are long behind us. Now, more than ever, technologies like machine vision require a dedicated focus. With every field from healthcare to law enforcement to manufacturing utilizing these technologies, the future of Computer Vision performs a broader range of functions. In Ann Arbor, at the University of Michigan and in partnership with Ford Motor Company, advancements race through every field not the least of which is manufacturing. As they transition toward full automation using the Internet of Things and more autonomous processes, it's even more important to ensure Computer Vision models understand what they're "seeing." Computer Vision engineers will help to advance technologies which make machines easier to train and more easily figure out images better than they do now. Used in conjunction with other technologies like neural networks and other subsets of AI, machines will be able to see and interpret in the same way humans see and interpret. And as far as we've come, there remains more applications and benefits not yet explored. The possibilities are endless. Current and future advancements will pave the way for AI to be as human as we are bringing our once science fiction ideas to life. One Final Thought… Though Computer Vision engineering can be drilled down to even more focused professions, the term itself is broad. But the specializations are basic with a demand for not only highly skilled professionals with the right educational background, but also hands-on experience. This detail is more important now than ever before, especially for Computer Vision teams seeking leadership roles who can take their applications to the next level and on a global scale. Some of the basic specializaitons include, but are not limited to: Camera imaging geometryFeature detection and matchingImage classification and scene analysis In the wake of work-from-home policies, remote working, and the shifting landscape of working outside the office, technology careers are prime opportunities to both gain increased knowledge in your chosen field or begin your career path. If you're ready to take the next step in your career, we may be able to help. Take a look at our current vacancies or get in touch with one of our expert consultants to learn more.

Vegas Surprise
While we were dating, we kept things low-budget, like going out for Chinese food at a little shopping center near our grad school. But the proposal was going to be first-class, all the way.
I invited Blanche to pack her suitcase but wouldn't tell her our destination. Between us we'd visited almost all of the U.S. landmarks you can name, except one: Las Vegas! Unfortunately, I could not convince the flight attendant to keep our destination secret, so, Blanche did find out where were heading once we got into the airplane and settled in our seats.
In Vegas we did all the touristy sightseeing: the little Eiffel Tower at the Paris Las Vegas, gondola rides at the Venetian, Egyptian artifacts at the Luxor, and the fountain-light-music show at the Bellagio. I kept it casual, but parts of that "impromptu" agenda were carefully orchestrated, like I had already made reservations at the Bellagio's Jasmine months in advance for a romantic, award-winning dinner experience where I would pop the question and offer her an engagement ring. So she wouldn't guess what was coming, I casually took a look at the restaurant's menu as we walked through the casino and asked, "What do you think about having dinner here tonight?"
Maybe 99 out of 100 people would have said, "Yes," but instead she looked at the menu and turned it down—nothing vegetarian on the menu! I felt like an idiot. The rest of the day, I scrambled to find a fancy restaurant that could take us on short notice—and had vegetarian food—without letting Blanche know. We were staying at the Mirage, and our best option was right downstairs, the Moongate—yes, Chinese food, again!
We placed our orders and I was preparing to propose when three large men with Texas drawls started laughing and talking so loudly nobody could ignore them. They were going to ruin our moment!
Luckily, they quieted down while they were eating. Our food had just arrived, and Blanche was in the process of picking out her mushrooms and offering them to me when I dropped to one knee and made my own offer, with the ring. She said yes and people clapped and whistled, including the Texans.
Vadim and Blanche K.

I know even the casuals would MUCH rather see mothers Jenny & Madison over these AYTO ****.
But would mothers leave their newborn babies to go on a challenge for 6 weeks without constant phone access. Keyword when time is right. I dont see them leaving their babies home before they turned 1 or 2 years old thats a long shot.
Which mother has come back for a challenge with newborn baby back at home other than Robin?

Phils reach three-team deal to get Halladay, send Lee to M's
As part of the trade, Halladay will be going from the Blue Jays to the Phillies, and Cliff Lee will go from the Phillies to the Mariners. Six prospects and cash are also involved in the trade, which has yet to be finalized due to its complexity, and may take at least one more day to be completed.
Halladay wanted to be in Philadelphia, as the Phillies train in Clearwater, Fla., not far from his offseason home in Oldsmar.
The Mariners get Lee in the trade to complement Felix Hernandez and form a formidable rotation, while the Phillies balance their rotation by adding the right-handed Halladay at the top to go with lefty Cole Hamels. The Mariners will send prospects to Philadelphia; Phillippe Aumont, a top right-handed pitching prospect, and Juan Ramirez, another minor-league righty, are believed to be among them. ESPN.com is reporting that outfielder Tyson Gilles is another Mariners farmhand that will be headed to Phillies. The Mariners were trying to hold onto top pitching prospect Brandon Morrow. Meanwhile, according to sources, the Phillies will send top pitching prospect Kyle Drabek, catching prospect Travis D'Arnaud and outfield prospect Michael Taylor to Toronto. Sources indicate those are the six prospects involved.
On Tuesday afternoon, it was reported that the Blue Jays will send Taylor to the A's in exchange for Brett Wallace, whom Oakland had originally acquired last July in the deal that sent Matt Holliday to St. Louis. The A's have a glut of first baseman and like Taylor's athleticism.
In a surprise twist, the Blue Jays will send the Phillies $6 million in the deal.
This trade was precipitated by the Phillies' realization they were not going to be able to get a quick deal with Lee, who starred for them in the playoffs and like Halladay is a year away from free agency. Lee made clear he was offering no discount, whereas the Phillies are expected to lock up Halladay since they are his chosen team. He had a no-trade clause, which meant the Jays needed to make a deal with one of his preferred teams. The Yankees were thought to be his other top choice but their pitching needs aren't as acute as Philly's.
The Phillies are trying to keep their payroll at around $140 million while making sure they have an ace for the future. There were no guarantees Lee would stay beyond 2010. Halladay's two preferred teams were thought to be the Phillies and Yankees. Indications are the Yankees offered a package that included top catching prospect Jesus Montero as the centerpiece.
Halladay had been targeted by the Phillies since last summer, but they were unable to reach a deal with Toronto for the ace righty. After failing to get Halladay, Philadelphia turned to Lee instead and he helped pitch the Phils to a second consecutive World Series appearance.
In acquiring Lee, the Mariners will land the ace they had been seeking to go with King Felix. Lee won the 2008 AL Cy Young winner with the Indians and emerged as the Phillies ace last year after being dealt from Cleveland to Philadelphia just days before the July 31 deadline. Ironically, that trade only happened after the Phillies were unable to pry Halladay loose from the Blue Jays earlier that month. Lee went 7-4 with a 3.39 ERA after the trade, and then 4-0 with a 1.56 ERA in the postseason, including victories in Philadelphia's only two wins in the World Series.
Lee will be returning to the American League, where he won the 2008 Cy Young award. Halladay is also a former AL Cy Young winner, taking top honors in 2003 and finishing in the top five each of the past four seasons. Halladay went 17-10 with a 2.79 ERA in 2009, leading the American League with nine complete games and four shutouts.
One loser here is the Angels, who were interested in John Lackey and Halladay and missed out on both of them, with Lackey closing in on a deal with the Red Sox.

Cathy has recently teamed up with Claire Herriott at White Label. You'll know she's trying to impress if you sit across a table at La Chapelle, just hope that she's not cooked the food ...
How did you first get into the industry?
When I graduated, my friend's mum was working at Scott Edgar and suggested that I apply for a role there. That's where it all began…
Would you do the same again?
Absolutely – it seems to be going okay so far!
What would you do if you didn't do this?
I've always thought that I'd make a good Detective.
Who are your favourite people from the industry?
My 'talent warriors' from a certain era at Bernard Hodes deserve a special shout out. And I have to say Claire Herriott, otherwise I wouldn't be working with her again at White Label.
What's the best piece of advice you've received in your career?
Your gut instinct is usually correct.
And what piece of advice would you give somebody starting out in the sector?
Ask lots of questions and look after your clients.
What's your favourite recruitment ad?
The Hertfordshire Constabulary work back in the 2000's will always stand out for me.
You're entertaining industry contacts. Where do you take them, and why?
If I want to impress then La Chapelle has impressive food in stunning surroundings.
What are you reading at the moment?
I do like a good Thriller. I'm about to begin 'The Couple Next Door' by Shari Lapena.
And what are you listening to?
I've always been an Oasis fan and I'm enjoying the most recent releases from both brothers. I also like to sing along to cheesy pop.
Which five guests would you invite to your ideal dinner party?
Christian Slater; Chris Evans; My Grandma (if she were still with us); Madonna; Dawn French (in character as the Vicar, Geraldine Granger).
What are your top three films?
I'm terrible with films – I'm not one for retaining facts about them….names/actors/plot line. That's why I should never be on a pub quiz team. I tend to return to my teen favourites such as Lost Boys and Goonies. My love of Christian Slater also began with Heathers and I walked down the aisle to 'You're so cool' from True Romance.
Something or someone for Room 101?
Self-service check outs.
What items do you never leave home without?
My phone as I feel naked without it and some form of money.
What's your biggest achievement – career or otherwise?
Top of the list has to be the birth of my two daughters. I'm really happy that I have the opportunity to combine having a great career with being a mum.
Who's your biggest hero, and why?
My Grandma. She showed me that you can be strong and independent but still proud to be female. I'm inspired most by everyday events where people achieve amazing things or put themselves forward to make changes in society.
What is your ideal holiday?
Sun and relaxation with a little luxury and lots of laughing.
Three words to describe yourself?
Upbeat, calm, genuine.
Your best and worst habits?
I'm great at looking for the positive in situations.
I'm terrible at keeping in contact with people outside of work.
What's your guilty pleasure?
The Vicar of Dibley
What has been your worst/most boring job you've ever had?
My worst was cleaning in a pub at weekends including the toilets. My work experience at school was pretty boring….manually processing cheques at my local bank.
What single fact would surprise people the most about you?
I'm absolutely rubbish in the kitchen – I can't stand cooking!
Thanks Cathy. If you would like to nominate someone for an Ri5 Profile, or participate yourself, please contact the Ri5 Editorial team at firstname.lastname@example.com, 11 October 2017

Buy the Book | Support on Patreon
When it comes to pole dancing, we have to be very careful with how we moisturize. Using the wrong kinds can keep us from sticking to the pole and worse, causing injury when our bodies are too slippery.
Luckily, there are good options out there that have been tested by fellow dancers that will help keep you smooth … and sticky. Here are a few!
Pole Physics
Buy online
The manufacturer describes it as "No-slick non-slip body lotion Scientifically engineered no-slick formula for superior pole performance, because healthy skin grips better … naturally! NO Mineral oils NO SLS NO Propylene Glycol NO Silicones or silicone derivatives NO Parabens NO Petrochemicals NO Artificial fragrances or colours NO Animal Testing Certified organic extracts to visibly tone the appearance of your skin."
Corn Huskers Oil-Free Hand Lotion
Buy online
I've heard this one is fast absorbing and doesn't leave a sticky feeling on your skin! The description reads, "gives immediate dry skin relief, dries very fast, and does not leave a sticky / greasy feeling. Do your hands become dry easily while at work? Cornhusker lotion is an instant moisturizer for your hands that allows you to return to work quickly. More like a gel than a lotion, Corn Husker's lotion works great on dry hands. There are many products out there but nothing works better than Corn Husker lotion to keep your feet soft and callous free for such a small price."
Vaseline Total Moisture Lotion
Buy Online
I've heard pole dancers swear up and down over this lotion by Vaseline! "For best results put it on a few hours before poling. Wash it off your hands. Play around with the amount that works for you." – Diana Renee Boyle Owner of Embody pole fitness
For the record, I have pretty sensitive skin so I haven't tried any of these brands. I'm careful to plan my moisturizing days around my classes so that I'm not putting on lotion the night before.

Avison Young in West Palm Beach
Avison Young opened its South Florida offices in 2012 with 30 members joining from Flagler Real Estate Services. In June 2013, Avison Young acquired WGCompass, a West Palm Beach-based retail and office brokerage and property manager with client relationships across the state of Florida, adding 25 members to Avison Young's South Florida team. The West Palm Beach office offers a full suite of services including agency leasing, tenant representation, capital markets, project management and property management, with relationships across the country.
The West Palm Beach retail team is one of the premier tenant representation teams in South Florida. Under the leadership of Don DeWoody they have assisted some of the most recognized national retail and restaurant companies in expanding their brands into the Florida market.
Whether you are an owner, investor, occupier or developer, we deliver results aligned with your strategic business objectives, supporting real estate initiatives that add value and build a competitive advantage for your organization.
Area Overview
Economic and quality of life fundamentals in Palm Beach County are strong with an incrementally declining unemployment rate enhancing the area's already strong appeal. In fact, Palm Beach County was recently ranked in the 2016 Top 30 Big Cities by Area Development based on factors including workforce, economic strength, year-over-year growth, and five-year growth. The county has a diversified business base, including agribusiness, aviation & aerospace, engineering, financial services, life sciences, healthcare, IT/telecommunications and manufacturing, among others. Not surprisingly, The Business Development Board of Palm Beach County is bullish about the county's future and expects a healthy level of interest from companies interested in relocating to or expanding within South Florida's northernmost market.
Healthy statewide and local economic factors continue to fuel robust leasing in Palm Beach County. Demand for office space remains vigorous with strong net absorption, tightening vacancies and rental rates recording consistent gains. Leasing fundamentals are sound and tenant concessions continue to play a pivotal role in lease negotiations. Speculative construction is once again taking place on a very modest scale, and a combination of tightening market conditions and sustained economic growth are expected to support healthy leasing activity, incremental gains in rental rates and a continued decline in overall vacancy.
Economic expansion and declining unemployment fueled Palm Beach County's retail growth during 2016. Market fundamentals continue to improve, as demonstrated by a decline in overall vacancy, and rising rental rates have done little to deter retailers who are looking to expand and secure space in prime locations. These factors have served as the foundation for investor activity in the Palm Beach market as more than $350 million in retail sales transactions were recorded in 2016 with continued activity expected. Still-tightening market conditions and sustained economic growth will likely continue to support healthy leasing activity and incremental gains in rental rates in 2017.
Healthy demand from an increasingly diverse range of companies fueled sustained growth in the local industrial market in 2016, creating upward pressure on rental rates while suppressing the vacancy rate. These factors, coupled with a relative lack of available space, have led to tightening market conditions and increased pressure on developers to build new product. Moving forward, it is anticipated that these tight market conditions will persist for the near term, and active leasing and incremental gains in rental rates will continue to strengthen Palm Beach County's position for investors.
A growing labor force and stable economy have made Palm Beach an attractive market for both foreign and domestic investors. Investment interest is growing at a brisk pace and significant capital continues to chase deals in Palm Beach County's commercial real estate market. Strong investment activity throughout 2016 was dominated principally by private, institutional and cross-border investors.

So comfortable, great pattern!
Love this pattern. Great for a body suite or a bathing suite!
Love this pattern. Great for a body suite or a bathing suite!
This swimming costume is everything. I bought one, and then immediately two more.
Due to illness, my body has been changing. Due to our ridiculous fixation with women's bodies, that has made me incredibly self conscious and insecure. The prospect of having to wear a swimming costume in just a few months had me reeling. Enter: Wolven.
This costume is so flattering on my sometimes hourglass, sometimes pear shaped body. It announces my best features (the front cut outs and high cut bottom), whilst deemphasising my worst (spare tyre!).
I love that it's reversible, so when I travel I'm not wearing the same cozzie in every picture. I have yet to wear it in public and NOT get multiple compliments from multiple people.
This was a big buy for me, but one I have literally no regrets about.

The city is the southern most in Illinois and is part of the "Little Egypt" area. The area came to be called this from being able to provide northern and central Illinois farmers enough grain to survive the harsh winter of 1830-31. The farmers were said to be, just as Jacob's sons in the Bible, "going down to Egypt to obtain some grain".
Area recreation includes family outings to St. Mary's Park.
The population estimate for July 1, 1998 was 4,217, a decrease of 629 since 1990.

The study, Acute and second-meal effects of almond form in impaired glucose tolerant adults: a randomized crossover trial, published in February 2011 in the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism, illustrates that consuming a breakfast containing almonds (a low glycemic index food) aids in stabilizing blood glucose levels for the better part of the day?while also keeping study participants satiated for a longer period of time.
?This research indicates that adding almonds to a carbohydrate-rich breakfast may result in lower post-meal blood glucose concentrations both after breakfast and lunch when compared to carbohydrate-rich breakfasts alone? said Dr. Richard Mattes, Distinguished Professor of Foods and Nutrition at Purdue University who co-authored the study along with Alisa M. Mori and Robert V. Considine from the Division of Endocrinology, Department of Medicine, Indiana University in Indianapolis. ?Several components of almonds are thought to help moderate post meal glucose levels, including unsaturated fatty acids and fiber.? This is great news for Americans who rely on dietary changes to help in the attenuation of post-meal blood glucose responses.
The researchers assessed the effects of various forms of almonds on markers of insulin sensitivity and satiety in pre-diabetic subjects. Participants consuming a breakfast containing whole almonds experienced more sustained feelings of fullness and had lower blood glucose concentrations after breakfast and a second meal compared to subjects consuming the control breakfast. It was noted that whole almonds provided the greatest feeling of fullness. The test breakfast that included whole almonds moderated post-meal glucose concentrations better than those that included almond butter, oil or flour.
Study Limitations: Although the test meals were matched for available carbohydrate content, they were not matched on energy value or macronutrient composition. Additional research is needed to assess the long-term effects of including almonds in the breakfast meal on blood glucose concentrations.
Study at a Glance:
The People: 14 adults with impaired glucose tolerance, average age of 39 years.
The Study: The study was a randomized, 5-arm, crossover trial. Each participant was given either a breakfast of orange juice and farina (Cream of Wheat?) containing 1.5 ounces of a form of almonds (whole almonds, almond butter, almond oil, defatted almond flour) or a control breakfast consisting of orange juice and farina (Cream of Wheat?) with no almonds or almond products. The control and test breakfasts were matched for carbohydrate content. After breakfast, blood glucose, insulin, non-esterified free fatty acids (NEFA), glucagon-like pepetide-1 (GLP-1) and appetite sensations were measured. Four hours later, each participant was given a standard lunch, after which the same measurements were collected.
The Results:
The study found that the addition of whole almonds to the breakfast meal significantly increased satiety, and decreased blood glucose concentrations throughout the day compared to the control breakfast meal. Almond oil had lesser, but similar, effects on post-meal blood glucose concentrations as whole almonds; but, both whole almonds and almond oil significantly reduced the insulin response after the second meal compared to the control breakfast meal.

Background: Nut consumption may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The aim of the current study was to measure the acute and second-meal effects of morning almond consumption and determine the contribution of different nut fractions.
Methods: 14 impaired glucose tolerant (IGT) adults participated in a randomized, 5-arm, crossover design study where whole almonds (WA), almond butter (AB), defatted almond flour (AF), almond oil (AO) or no almonds (vehicle - V) were incorporated into a 75 g available carbohydrate-matched breakfast meal. Postprandial concentrations of blood glucose, insulin, non-esterified free fatty acids (NEFA), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and appetitive sensations were assessed after treatment breakfasts and a standard lunch.
Results: WA significantly attenuated second-meal and daylong blood glucose incremental area under the curve (iAUC) and provided the greatest daylong feeling of fullness. AB and AO decreased blood glucose AUCI in the morning period and daylong blood glucose iAUC was attenuated with AO. WA and AO elicited a greater secondmeal insulin response, particularly in the early postprandial phase, and concurrently suppressed the second-meal NEFA response. GLP-1 concentrations did not vary significantly between treatments.
1 Good news about fat. U.S. Dietary Guidelines recommend that the majority of your fat intake be unsaturated. One serving of almonds (28g) has 13 g of fat and only 1 g of saturated fat.

No matter how hard you try, it will be difficult to build big and well-defined muscles naturally. This is the main reason why so many bodybuilders have become reliant on anabolic steroids.
The good news is that alternatives do exist. One of the best supplements on the market that can deliver muscle gains without being a steroid is called Winadrol.
Here's what Winadrol is and what it does.
How Does Winadrol Work?
Winadrol is the natural alternative of an anabolic steroid called Winstrol. Winstrol, also known as Stanozolol, is one of the most popular steroids that was developed back in the 1950s.
The main reason why Winadrol is so prominent is its mildly anabolic effect. Thus, both men and women have relied on it for decades to improve their athletic performance.
Luckily, better and safer alternatives exist today, Winadrol is one of them.
The supplement is completely natural and it doesn't result in any of the side effects linked to the use of anabolic steroids. The supplement features a wide array of amino acids and natural ingredients that enhance growth hormone production.
Having more HGH in the body contributes to the easier accumulation of lean muscle mass.
Winadrol produces the following effects:
- Easier lean muscle mass accumulation
- Better defined abdominal muscles
- Reduced risk of water buildup (fluid retention)
- Increased ability to lose fat
- More energy and stamina, allowing athletes to push themselves even further

Main Ingredients
The Winadrol proprietary blend is rich and diversified. Let's take a look at some of the most important active ingredients:
- L-arginine
this amino acid is an incredibly important one. It increases nitric oxide production in the body. Nitric oxide helps the blood vessels relax and allows more blood to pass through. The enhanced circulation enables the proper oxygenation of the muscles and it also delivers important nutrients to them.
- Leucine
this is one of the most prominent essential amino acids for the needs of bodybuilders. It stimulates protein synthesis, giving muscles the building blocks that they need to grow.
- Lysine
this is another essential amino acid that the human body can't produce on its own. Low levels of lysine in the human body have been linked to a slowdown in protein synthesis, which can interfere with effective muscle growth.
- Glycine
found in fatty fish and dairy, glycine reduces fatigue and strengthens the organism in multiple ways. It can also be used to improve cognitive function.
- Glutamic acid
- Tryptophan
- Thyrosine
- Valine
- Aspartic acid

Winadrol produces muscle gains minus the side effects caused by anabolic steroids. Opting for this natural and safe supplements is linked to an array of benefits:
- The formula features amino acids and other substances that play an important role in muscle building
- It can be stacked with other products that enhance fat burning for even more pronounced results
- There's a money-back guarantee
- The supplement is manufactured by a well-known, reputable company
- Discounts are available for bulk purchases
- There are occasional promotions that bring the price of the supplement down even further
- The supplement ships internationally
The shortcomings of choosing Winadrol as your natural muscle building supplement aren't that many a few of the disadvantages mentioned in customer reviews include the following:
- Only available for purchase online
- The price is high in comparison to what other muscle building supplements have to offer
- Since the supplement is natural, individual results will vary

Final Verdict
You don't need steroids in order to experience pronounced muscle gains. Natural supplements can get the job done, especially when they're properly formulated. Winadrol is one such supplement and it does the same thing as anabolic steroids without leading to health problems.
After examining the pros and the cons of the supplement, as well as the price to quality ratio, we can give it a rating of three out of five stars.

Google have recently changed how Google Chrome works. Chrome now identifies any website that requires you to input security-related information as 'Not Secure', when that website does not provide adequate security and encryption as part of its process. Encryption is important as it protects you from hackers easily 'eavesdropping' on your connection and capturing your private information. As a result of this change, we have received numerous enquiries asking what to do and if there is any cause for concern?
This warning only appears on web pages request some form of private information; this includes most 'login' screens that need your user name and password, email access, internet banking and online payments. Google is in fact being a good net citizen in informing you that the website you're accessing doesn't meet modern security standards
So, is there anything to be aware of and concerned about? Well, Yes and No. Firstly, any website that asks for and stores sensitive or personal information should NEVER display the above warning. Always look at the address of the website and notice that it starts with 'https://' and has the green padlock icon – this indicates the site uses secure technology (e.g. modern encryption) and is safe to use. Highly-secure websites such as your bank might also display their company name next to the padlock – this acts as an independent confirmation of their identity and is an extra surety that you are connecting to the legitimate website.
For other types of websites such as discussion forums, clubs and hobby sites, which require you to 'log in' in order to participate, having the 'Not secure' warning is less critical. For example, if someone hacked your login for your membership of the "Cat Lovers Australia" forums because they were 'Not secure', would this really be a major life incident? Probably not! Please also be aware that it will take some time for website owners to react to this change – implementing high security usually requires a re-design of the website and the purchase of an SSL Security Certificate, which are costs and changes that will take time to process. Some website owners may choose not to provide the higher level of security since the risk of anyone trying to hack a chat forum about cats is pretty minimal.
In Summary Always look for https:// and the green, locked padlock icon next to the address of ANY website where you input personal, private information; especially anything to do with banking, payments or financial transactions, government etc. For less important websites such as discussion groups, clubs etc. that require a basic log in for participation, recognise that the "Not secure" warning is just that – a warning that your details could potentially be captured by hackers. However, since websites of this nature don't hold any critical, private or financial information, the potential for loss or damage is minimal. Proceed with accessing these sites only if you are comfortable in knowing they offer a lower level of security. In the long-term, Google wants every website to implement high-security as standard. This is a good thing and will benefit everyone (helps to defeat fake, scam websites that try to steal your passwords). The "Not secure" warning is a gentle nudge by Google to further drive this initiative. If your website has started coming up as "Not secure" – ask us how we can help you understand and address this issue.

(M.E. Calculated) 3,610 kcal/kg 395 kcal/cup
Nutritionally complete and balanced, Brothers Complete® Chicken & Egg is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages.
There is a minimum of 40% protein (dry matter basis) in Brothers Complete Chicken Meal & Egg Formula, and over 90% of that is animal sourced protein from Chicken Meal, Turkey Meal, and Whole Eggs.
Eggs are considered the "perfect" food because they are absorbed easily and completely (100% bioavailable) and have all 23 amino acids, including the 9 "essential" amino acids that cannot be produced by the body and must be derived from food - all 9 of which are essential building blocks for all the proteins in the body.
Brothers begins with an abundance of high quality human grade proteins, to which we add Digestive Enzymes (to facilitate thorough digestion and nutrient availability while strengthening the immune system), Selective PREbiotics (that will selectively feed the beneficial gut bacteria and not the pathogenic bacteria, as the common short chain prebiotics do), and Encapsulated PRObiotics (protected by a unique coating that prevents them from activating prematurely and dying before they can be eaten, which is the fate of 99% of the Probiotics normally used on dog food if they are used at all).
The cassava / tapioca we use as a binder is obtained from the roots of the cassava plant (manihot esculenta) and is a natural source of low glycemic carbohydrates that is a large part of the diet of many equatorial countries. In the areas where Cassava makes up 80% of the carbohydrates in the diet, type 2 diabetes is practically nonexistant.This low glycemic starch allows Brothers to make a kibble that is closer to a wolf's ancestral diet which is based predominantly on animal fat and protein.
Additionally, some studies have shown that up to 50% of the cassava starch survives the digestive process and, instead of being absorbed into the blood stream as a starch, passes through to the colon where it feeds trillions of beneficial bacteria there that are essential for the health and proper functioning of the colon, the immune system, the absorption of nutrients, and the system as a whole. Practically speaking, the absorption of much of the cassava starch by the beneficial bacteria in the colon, increases the percentage of protein delivered to the body above the amount listed in the guaranteed analysis.
In the last few years, some pet food manufacturers have eliminated or restricted the use of grains but have substituted white potatoes or sweet potatoes instead. White potatoes have a higher glycemic index than white sugar (80 to 110 versus sugar at 65) which puts a strain on the adrenal and pancreatic systems because it spikes the blood sugar and produces a large insulin response every time the dog eats. The high glycemic property of white potato also feeds the Candida Albicans yeast/fungus in the colon which becomes a fungus whose rhizomes grow into the mucosal lining of the intestine causing openings between the cells that line the inside of the gut (called enterocytes), creating a condition known as "leaky gut" which allows the contents of the colon, including the Candida Albicans Fungus, to "leak" into the blood stream. Once in the blood stream Candida Albicans is fed by the high glycemic carbs in most dog foods dentified as "Systemic Candida" which leads to a host of skin problems and other allergy-related problems.
One of the problems with potatoes, under less than perfect conditions (when too old, sprouting small roots, exposed to warm temperatures above 60 degrees F for too long, or exposed to light for too long) is that they generate a neurotoxin called solanine which can be extremely toxic. Potatoes rejected from the human food chain, and used in the dog food industry, are all too often a source of excessive solanine in dog food.
Potatoes and grains (due to improper preparation) are also a source of "Lectins" which can cause "Leaky Gut", compromise the functioning of the colon, and severely reduce the ability of the cilia (the fine hair like structures that grow on the inside walls of the intestines) to extract necessary minerals and vitamins from the food because the Lectins are glycoproteins that gum up the cilia and cause them to mat down and stick together, thus substantially reducing the surface area available to extract nutrition.
Another possible problem when potatoes are heated to high temperatures is the production of acrylamide which is a recognized carcinogen. For these, and other reasons relating to a dogs health, all of Brothers Complete Formulas are grain, sweet potato, and white potato free.
Brothers Complete does not use any BHA, BHT, or ethoxyquin to preserve our dog food and does not buy or use any ingredients that have ever been treated with ethoxyquin at any point along the supply line, as nearly all fish is. Brothers is preserved naturally with a combination of 4 natural preservatives Vitamin E (mixed tocopherals), Vitamin C, Rosemary extract, and Green Tea extract. Because all preservatives are light, heat and oxygen sensitive, we package our food in a high-tech, metalized, 3 ply, foil and keep it in an air-conditioned storage facility at 60 F until the day it is shipped to you, which further maintains the effectiveness of the natural preservatives we use.
Most dog foods spend 4 to 8 months in hot wholesale warehouses before reaching the retail outlets, where they can sit on shelves in pet food stores for several more months before being purchased by the customer. Brothers manufactures small batches frequently and uses a combination of 4 natural preservatives (rather than the normal 1 or 2) so Brothers is the freshest food you can buy.
Brothers Complete is a beautifully balanced, extremely nutritious dog food and you usually feed less of it, often a lot less, than other dog foods, even those considered to be among the best.
Four Hundred calories of a dog food with low amounts of protein (in the 15% to 25% range), along with high carbohydrate levels from grain, white potatoes, sweet potatoes, or other refined carbs. does not begin to compare with the superior nutrition that 400 calories of Brothers brings to your dog with 33% to 40% human grade protein, Digestive Enzymes, Selective Prebiotics, Encapsulated Probiotics, low glycemic Cassava Root as a carb binder, and the intricate balancing of nutrients to each other. Food calories are not created equal. Superior nutrition is the optimum amount of high quality calories and nutrients intricately balanced in relation to each other first, and then to the whole.
We suggest you feed the recommended amount of Brothers to begin with, regardless of how much you were feeding of the old dog food, and adjust slowly from there. Overfeeding can cause a soft stool or diarrhea and is a sign to cut back on the amount of Brothers you are feeding.
When switching to Brothers Complete we recommend mixing Brothers Complete with the old food for a few days to as much as a week. Every dog is different and tolerates change at his or her own level but usually the worst that happens if the change is too fast is a loose stool. Below are the suggested daily feeding recommendations. The amount one feeds his or her dog varies with age, activity level, and environment. So it best to monitor your dog during the first few weeks after switching to determine the ideal feeding amount.
Dog's Weight Amount of Food Per Day (cups)
6 LBS 1/4 Cup / Day
12 LBS 1/2 Cup / Day
25 LBS 1 Cup / Day
50 LBS 2 Cups / Day
75 LBS 2 1/2 to 3 Cups / Day
100 LBS 3 1/4 to 4 Cups / Day
Puppies can require as much as 50% to 100% more food during growth but it's important they not be overfed, especially with large breed puppies. You want to give the joints time to develop fully before the dog puts on too much weight. You should be able to feel their ribs but not see them. Check their weight at least once a week and adjust to maintain an ideal weight.
BROTHERS IS PERFECTLY BALANCED FOR ALL BREEDS AND LIFE STAGES. (Brothers Complete Dog Food meets the nutritional levels established by AAFCO dog food nutrient profiles for all life stages)
We source HUMAN GRADE INGREDIENTS to produce our exceptionally healthy high quality dog food.
Brothers is HIGH IN PROTEIN to provide the necessary building blocks for a healthy dog in all life stages (30% to 36% is the guaranteed minimum protein depending on the formula).
OVER 90% OF PROTEIN IN BROTHERS IS ANIMAL SOURCED which is an abundant source of natural Taurine for heart health. Animal sourced protein (versus vegetable protein) is the protein that dogs are designed to eat by Mother Nature.
We add DIGESTIVE ENZYMES to ensure complete digestion and absorption of essential nutrients, help eliminate food intolerance, and strengthen the immune system.
The UNIQUE PROBIOTICS we use are encapsulated by a proprietary process that prevents them from being activated prematurely so they deliver 99.8% active cultures to the gut, which is as much as 1,000 times more than normal probiotics. They promote gut wall integrity, increase nutrient absorption, keep the destructive bacteria in check, and strengthen the immune system.
We add LONG CHAIN PREBIOTICS which feed the Probiotics (beneficial gut bacteria) but do not feed the potentially destructive bacteria (such as Candida Albicans) like short chain prebiotics do.
We use a LOW GLYCEMIC BINDER (cassava root/tapioca, not high glycemic, highly processed carbs, grains, potatoes, or sweet potatoes, etc.).
Our food is kept fresh with 4 NATURAL PRESERVATIVES ( mixed tocopherols, Vitamin C, Rosemary extract, & Green tea extract) No Ethoxyquin, BHA, or BHT is ever used.
Our food is packaged in a 3 PLY METALIZED POLYESTER BAG that protects the food from heat, light, air circulation, and insects.
Brothers is KEPT EXTRA FRESH @ 60 F in our climate controlled warehouse.
Brothers has NEVER HAD A RECALL (a perfect record in our 9 year history).
WE NEVER USE any GMO, grain, potatoes, sweet potatoes, soy, chemical preservatives (BHA, BHT, Ethoxyquin), artificial flavoring or coloring, hormones, or antibiotics.
Gut Health is Critically Important
100 Trillion Bacteria in the Gut
The number of bacteria in the colon is about 10 times the number of cells in the entire rest of the body. About 10 Trillion cells make up the body. In a healthy colon there are about 100 Trillion bacteria.
The foundation of health in a mammal is the gut - a healthy gut equals a healthy animal.
The HUGE number of beneficial bacteria in the colon suggests that a correspondingly high level of importance be assigned to their purpose there which is to maintain the integrity of a healthy, functioning system. The massive colony of beneficial bacteria in the gut is not only 10 times the number of cells that make up the rest of the body but they are crucial components of a healthy system.
The 100 Trillion bacteria in a healthy colon are designed to:
• Maintain healthy functioning of the Enterocytes that line the inside wall of the colon and the Cilia that grow out of the colon wall and extract nutrients from the food.
• Maintain a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria (90 Trillion or so) to keep the pathogenic bacteria, like Candida Albicans, from over populating, penetrating the colon wall, and escaping into the blood stream to cause Systemic Candida.
• Remove excess moisture from the fecal matter and return it to the body.
The Gut is the CORE OF THE ORGANISM and is the primary basis for creating health or disease.
A) Most of the Immune System (70% to 80%) is generated in the gut wall so if the health of the gut is compromised the ability of the body to defend itself is compromised as well.
B) The gut wall is lined with hairs (Cilia) that effectively increase its surface area from 2 sq. ft. to about 1,200 sq. ft. If the cilia are not kept clean and functional then the ability of the body to absorb necessary nutrients from the food it eats becomes limited.
C) The Cilia also plays a part in returning excess water in the fecal matter to the body. If they are compromised then loose stool or diarrhea is usually the result.
The lining on the inside of the gut wall that separates the fecal matter from the blood stream and the rest of the body is only one cell thick and is made up of rectangular cells called Enterocytes that fit together like little bricks.
Leaky Gut occurs when gaps form in the joints between the enterocytes and fecal matter leaks out of the colon into the blood stream.
Leaky Gut can be caused by a diet that contains grain, potato, sweet potato, or sugar in any form (molasses, sucrose, etc.) because these foods all turn into sugar which feeds the ever present Candida Albicans yeast/fungus and the fungus rhizomes can penetrate the joints between the enterocytes.
The overuse of antibiotics is also a cause of Leaky Gut because antibiotics kill the beneficial bacteria which maintain the health of the gut lining as well as keep the Candida fungus in check. It is very important for the integrity of the gut lining to keep the healthy bacteria healthy and strong which is why Brothers adds special Encapsulated Probiotics and PreBiotics.
The constant flow of pathogens into the blood stream through a Leaky Gut makes the immune system highly overreactive. In time it causes an auto immune response as the immune system becomes hyperactive and begins attacking healthy tissue that has similar amino acid sequences as the partial proteins that are leaking into the blood stream.
Another problem caused by a Leaky Gut occurs when Candida Albicans Fungus, which is naturally in every gut, gets through a Leaky Gut wall into the blood stream and becomes a condition called Systemic Candida.
When Candida Albicans leaks into the blood stream the condition is called Systemic Candida because the fungal form of Candida is in the blood stream and spreads throughout the entire system. Systemic Candida causes no end of skin and fungus problems throughout the body. It can change from hot spots to itching, to hives, to yeasty ears, etc.
Grain, potato, and sweet potato are a form of sugar that feeds the Candida Fungus and helps it get stronger and do more damage to the system. It is not practical to use medicine to kill the Systemic Candida because it is too damaging to the dogs liver and as the Candida dies off it releases toxins that will make the poor dog go crazy if it dies too quickly. It's better to slowly starve the Candida back over a period of three to six months so the die off is not too painful and uncomfortable for the dog.
Once the Systemic Candida is weak enough the immune system will eliminate the rest of it in the blood stream and your dog will be healthy and happy again.
Brothers is designed to heal Leaky Gut over a period of 3 to 6 months and prevent it from recurring in the future by eliminating the grain, potato, sweet potato, and other ingredients that cause the problem in the first place.
By adding Digestive Enzymes, long chain PreBiotics, and Unique Encapsulated ProBiotics that deliver a thousand times more active cultures to the gut than normal probiotics, Brothers helps the gut heal and restore itself to full healthy functioning.
