Below is an example of your earnings if you invest R1000 the traditional method: Year 1: R1000+13%=R1130 Year 2: R1130+13%=R1276.90 Year 3: R1276.90+13%=R1442.90 Year 4: R1442.90+13%=R1630.47 Year 5: R1630.47+13%=R1842.44 So in 5 years, you will only have made a maximum profit of R842.44 If you use our product as we train you to, the following is what you can make: Remember, you buy stock when the price is low and sell the stock when the price is high...... Year 1: R1000/R1.15=869.56 shares xR4.73=R4113.04 Year 2: R4113.04/R1.30=3163.88 shares xR6.20=R19616.05 Year 3: R19616.05/R2.00=9808.02 shares xR6.30=R61790.57 Year 4: R61790.57/R0.03=2059685.61 shares xR2.25=R4634292.64 Year 5: R4634292.64/R0.33=14043311.03 shares xR0.65=R9128152.17 You can therefore make a profit of R9128152.17 if you invest directly.

Australian Government Scrutinizes Videogames Classification Rules

Australian Government Scrutinizes Videogames Classification Rules
John Rau, South Australia's Attorney-General, argues the new classification rules for videogames may still be exposing children to sexual or violent content.
Ever since the introduction of the R18+ classification of games in Australia in January, South Australia's Attorney-General John Rau has had doubts about its effectiveness. Rau said more than a dozen videogames released in Australia had been given the MA15+ rating while they received higher age classifications in Europe and North America.
He pointed to Killer is Dead, Alien Rage, God Mode, and The Walking Dead, all of which received M-ratings from the ESRB and 18 from PEGI. Players in North America and Europe had to be at least 17 years old and 18 years old, respectively, whereas in Australia they only had to be 15 or older.
"It is concerning to me, particularly as a parent, when I see that 13 games have been released in Australia as MA15+ whilst exactly the same grade attracts up to a R18+ classification overseas," Rau said. However, he is satisfied with the R18+ rating for Grand Theft Auto V, which received similar age classification ratings from the ESRB and PEGI.
After having the Australian Council on Children and the Media approach him with concerns, Rau wants George Brandis, the new federal Attorney-General, to review how the Australian Classification Board assesses games. "If the standards are not more rigorously applied, I will be referring each of these games to the South Australian Classification Council for review," Rau said.

Get back to me when they finally decide to USE the new rules it took them decades to put in place.
Jeez, I feel bad that you Australians have to put up with this crap. What a codger. They tried the same thing in the United States, but thankfully the Supreme Court shot them down and told them to go do something constructive with their lives. Maybe take dancing classes or something.
Did he check to see if the content in the game was the same before launching his rant? As I understand it publishers deliberately tone content down for Australia and the new adults only rating hasn't changed that because its still a hit or miss process whether a game can certified or not.
I but...j- nbngh wha- YOU'RE STUPID! YOU'RE A STUPID PERSON!
Also 'the walking dead'? Really? When people as young as 10 are free to watch the accompanying TV show anytime? And no one gives anyone any flak for that? Get out.
Why is this even being brought up!? You have an 18+ Rating, get a board together and properly analyze the content.
Do Australian politicians really have nothing to whine about that's worth whining about?
I notice no worries about them violent and sexual movies exposing kids to this stuff, despite that being waaaaaaaaay more common.
Heh, be interesting to see what, if anything, the Abbott government does about this.
Do Australian politicians have nothing better to do? You know I'm starting to wonder if they get a lot of their ideas from american Republicans.
Just hang in there Aussies, soon he will turn senile.
I guess it was too optimistic to hope that the R18 rating stuff would cause the politicians to go stick their fat noses in someone else's business.
Still, it was a nice hope while it lasted.
Complains about the rating here compared to overseas, yet we're still paying $100 for games everyone overseas is paying $60...
Great, so the only way we get attention is if some cock-brain has an agenda? I'm thrilled to be an Australian right now.
Ah Australia... I love gaming news about down under. Make me feel like I'm living in a liberal nation.
Of course there's going to be disagreement when we all use different rating systems. For one, there is no "15+" equivalent in the ESRB rating system. It jumps from T (13+) to M (17+) with nothing in the middle. So a game that got an M here might very well get a 15+ in Australia simply because people feel it's okay for a 15 year old, but not a 13 year old (Halo being a great example of one of these "M-lite" games).
As for the disagreement with PEGI, that's something a little different. They have a 16 and an 18 rating, so something rated 18 in PEGI and 15+ in Australia does show a bit of a disconnect. That's assuming, of course, that both countries hold the same exact values and standards when it comes to content...which they don't.
A rating system isn't that bad when it actually WORKS... I mean in Germany we have some of the most restrictive ones and somehow everything other than the most obscure or depraved stuff gets a rating, even if only adults may buy/play the more extreme ones.
But the Aussie system just looks awful and dysfunctional from what little I read about it.
For a country that has numerous things trying to kill their people, it really seems superfluous they'd be putting so much focus on one media medium.
Call me Devil's Advocate, but he doesn't sound anti-violent game to me. I interpret his comments as "We made the 18+ rating for a reason, why aren't we using it? Come on ratings board, get your #$%^ together."
Well whose fault was it that there wasn't a R18 rating for these 'violent' games to be put in?
This was my main arguement for the R18 standards, however thanjs to that moron 'protecting' children aussies now have years of 'violent' games freely avalible to 15 year old minors that wouldn't be buy them anywhere else in the world.
These recent releases are just gravry. Your ratings board is used to shoving games into the lower MA15 and your inaction has helped create this situation.
So what if they see some blood and some nudity? Jeez. The kids aren't made of glass for fuck sake.
Interesting... but where's the part where the Australian government is scrutinising video game classification rules?
All I see is the Attorney-General of South Australia being a cock, which is nothing new because it's part of the job description.
gints citizen Kabuto
Wrong moron. The moron you're thinking of former SA Attorney General Michael Atkinson. Current SA Attorney General John Rau is a completely different moron.
Not really but kinda sorta... Basically, Rau's Schtick is he wants MA15+ removed as a game classification and the rules for MA15+ to be used as the rules for R18... because he's a cock.
Hence why I said 'that' moron, besides Rau is more of a arsehole than moron.
I feel your pain Australian gamers. Just hang in there.
I just hope that those people in charge will soon be replaced by those who can tell the difference between a mouse and the real thing.
If you think it should be more like the ESRB use ESRB.
Don't forget American Democrats, after all this is a bi partisan issue when it comes to violent video games.
1) Different cultures have different values dude. England (the PEGI system) is way more lack about nudity than America (the ESRB system) for example.
It's refreshing to see that at least the politicians in Australia are reasonable and agenda free.
Rather than wasting the time trying to rate them again. How about they just use the ESRB or PEGI rating instead.
Yes. Anyone who comes here thinks it's a paradise, even our poorest citizens have terrific lives compared with other countries, but when you watch our news and listen to our politicians you'll think it's a hellhole. It's fucking absurd.
Yeah i forgot about the other conservative party. My bad, its just republicans have been pissing me off a lot more than democrats.
Right now Democrats are barely tolerable, however if we had a republican president they'll be doing anything to mess him or her up to look good. There trying to look like the reasonable guys and make the republicans the children in the room, but in reality there all children pointing fingers at each other, instead of working together.
I'll agree partially to that... But, when republicans act like Obama has cooties and that anything he is for they are against you have to admit they are the worst offenders of the two.
Can we please have an XXXXXOMGYOUARESATANFORBUYINGTHIS rating so that we can finally get past the still ridiculous refusal of classifications that stuff like saints row and state of decay were given?
Like, I'm an adult so (lol, Solve media: "frankly my dear".) I don't give a damn if you make everything higher than G rating into this new XXXXCHRISTONABIKE rating, it is however unacceptable that a 'free' nation's classification body can restrict stuff like saints row 3 from legally recognised adults, esspecially over such stupid technicallities... Added to which, the rating is meant as advisory, if adults are stupid enough to go buying their four year old grand theft auto that's their problem.
As for the point being raised... I believe it's somewhat obvious why some games are rated higher there than here; because they do not have the intermediate rating Australia does. I mean, the whole reason MA was made was because we felt there needed to be a rating higher than M but lower than R18... what's the point in having it if it's not going to be used? Like sure, go for it, but remove MA altogether since there's no point having it, infact we could just use the PEGI system ourself XD
I agree, Obamacare was originally an idea by the conservative heritage foundation, and Republicans used it as an alternative to Bill Clinton's health care proposal, not to forget, Mitt Romney signed it into law in Massachusetts as governor.
And now all of a sudden it's poison to the republicans? Politics at it's worst, and this obama derangement syndrome is just pathetic.

Don't be put-off, wait a minute, give me a chance, I know what I'm doing, I'm in control here. So, pop-up boxes and yes, I mean the things that when you go onto a website, you are reading and something suddenly comes up and say, 'Oh, do this, do that!'
So, the question was 'Why do you need a pop-up box on your website?' and the short answer is because they work. Is that enough? Do you want more explanation?
Okay. So, first of all, let's get rid of one pretty cool myth. If they annoy you, that is you. That does not mean that they annoy everybody else; it is not about you. It is about your potential clients.
Second one is, your website has two tasks that is it. It has a task to either sell something to people today like Amazon, yeah, or to capture someone's contact information, so you can sell to them at a later date when they are ready to buy.
There is no other reason for having a website. If it's just images, pictures, what you do, you can print a brochure and go give it to them. Go give it to everyone who needs to see it, then they will get it. You won't have to hope that they find you on Google.
Now, of course, if you are a Government website, I'm not talking to you but you have money to be spent and information to give out, but other than that, please tell me what other reason?
You might say, 'Oh, what if you are a charity?' Yeah, charities need donors and so on. So, they need to capture leads as well.
Anybody, I challenge any of you, write in, email me, email@example.com. Write in and tell me, what else? Because otherwise, you are just playing at this.
So, that established, in my perpetual sales cycle system, the P of permission is where we ask people for permission to market to them and the way we do that is we put something in front of them that gives them an offer, something for free etc. etc.
But you are, again, you are thinking of other pop-ups. If you don't like them, there are numerous ways of doing this.
Exit Pop Up
The best way by far, the easiest, the most unobtrusive is what's called the 'Exit Pop-Up'. And what happens is, when somebody is about to leave your website, a pop-up opens and they might say, 'Before you go or if you are leaving, or let me give you this, thanks for visiting, let me offer you this.'
Or if you are on an e-commerce site, it's, 'Oh, before you go, would 5% discount for use in the next 2, 1 hour, 24 hours help?' All these kind of things. And you might think, 'Oh, how does that work?'
Well, computers and technology is pretty clever these days; there is what is called 'exit intent'. There are things that you would do, if you were going to leave a website, you would go to 'close the tab' button, you would go to the backspace button to go back to Google or wherever you were, and your little cursor will follow.
So, technology can sense that and you might think, 'Oh, but what if I'm not, what If I'm…" No, it's clever. Algorithms, they know this stuff. They do lots of tests, there's lots of versions, this is not new. I don't invent this stuff.
We use it. I'm not going to tell you how much extra business it gets my company, but it is way more than the money I pay to have it work. And I actually pay a particular system online which is, which is not one of the ones I'm going to recommend because it's specific to what we need. It works. Alright.
Slide In Boxes
Other ways are little slide-in boxes. You've read, say there is a 2000 word article, when you are about half way down, is it obtrusive, doesn't have to pop-up, a little slide-in box on the side says, 'If you enjoy this, you might want to get more of like this. Enter your mail and I'll deliver it to your inbox whenever I write a new one."
There are other ways. On the, once you are reading something, again after a little while, these are best when they do not pop-up instantly.
After a little while, to say, 'Special Offer! Grab a chair – let's do this – do that.' These things work. What they do is they increase the number of people to opt-in to your list, and that's what you want. You want them to opt-in your list.
If you think you are going to annoy them, then they weren't interested in the first place. They've come along to grab your information for free.
If they are interested in you, your offer, what you like, they will put up with that, they will just say, 'No' and click the little box, the little x to shut it. What's the big deal? So, do it. Please!
Oh, there're so many ways. All of the successful marketers employ these methods, and it is so simple. The important thing is, it's so, so simple.
There are simple tools and most of them are free. There are paid ones but most of them are free.
So, number one, top one, recommended it over and over, going to tell you to try SumoMe. Yes, Sumo, S-U-M-O, me…M… Oh, in fact, no, they spent over a million dollars recently, or two million dollars buying the domain name Sumo.com.
So, you can just go to Sumo.com. It is there. There is a free version and there is a paid, I use the paid version. I, don't forget, I've got numerous websites, so I use that on 'Marketing for Owners', we use SumoMe, the paid version.
Get Site Control
There is another one which does a very similar job, is a lower price and to be honest, probably easier to install and if it, and I would be using this.
There are certain reasons why I use SumoMe, it's got one thing that this other one hasn't, but it's called 'Site Control', so the website is Get Site Control. Again, it's so cheap, it's, there is a free version and then I think, is it $10 a month or something.
You can actually employ that on any site. Doesn't have to be a blog, doesn't have to be a WordPress, it's so clever. But if you go to these things, they'll explain how you can use them. I will leave you with that.
Tuesday Toolbox Tip
But it is Tuesday. It is Toolbox tip time and guess what I'm going to recommend? SumoMe. Yes, SumoMe.
If you are not using it, oh, there is a reason why it is so successful. There is a reason why they've just spent one or two million dollars, they showed-off about it, because it is really successful.
They have millions of users or hundreds of thousands of users, it's growing.

It's safe to say that the summer of 2016 will go certainly down in history, according to online surveys. With our (somewhat) surprise referendum outcome, the resulting political turmoil, a (possibly) changing economy and a brand new Prime Minister appointed earlier than expected, it's been a busy few weeks for the UK.
But what does it mean for us citizens? Amid the general uncertainty of both our exit from the EU and the political tower of cards playing out at Westminster, a recent survey has revealed that it's pretty much 'business as usual' for most of us at the moment.
The online survey showed that the majority of people taking part in the survey do not believe that their finances will be hit by the result of Brexit in the upcoming months. Over three quarters of people in the online survey thought that their personal finances will be either unchanged or better in the next six months, with only a quarter of people taking the online survey saying they thought their financial situation would deteriorate.
In spite of the stark warnings of a doomed economy - with mass job losses and redundancies, and a huge downturn in investment if Brexit was to go ahead - it seems most of us are, largely, trying to keep calm and carry on as normal. That's a pretty impressive stance from the general public.
It's undeniable that this is a real time for change in the UK. Some of us may be struggling with our identity, feeling estranged from our EU neighbours and being forced to go it alone. It's a bit like being ousted by your distant relatives, who you didn't necessarily like all that much but it was pretty much all you knew.
Well, that's the thing about change: it can be painful in the short term but can sometimes work out for the better. I sincerely hope this 'summer of change' for the UK will prove to be positive eventually.
Socrates said: "The secret of change is to focus all your energy not on fighting the old but on building the new". It's true that the Brexit vote won, the pound fell to a 31 year low and the future of the EU itself was questioned. But that is now the old. Since we have managed to get this far, let's hope we can focus on a positive future and make the best out of what will come our way before next summer. Whatever change may bring to the UK, I'm sure we will remain resilient.

BxArts Factory in partnership with Bronx Music Heritage Center present our 1st project of 2016!
Memories Un-Remembered: Thinking of Home (Longing).
This Arts Exhibition/Community Project was curated by Alexis Mendoza and include artists Francheska Alcantara, Stephanie Mota, Lazarus Nazario and Edwin Torres.
Opening Reception: Saturday, February 6th from 6 to 9 pm
1303 Louis Nine Boulevard, Bronx NY 10459
For more details please visit our FB event page:
Francheska Alcantara's body of work transforms a vacant space into something unique and beautiful without any outside materials, metaphorically speaking to the way immigrants arrive at a new, unfamiliar place with minimal material possessions, and transform the existing area into a beautifully unique neighborhood laden with culture.
Who am I? Where do I come from? How do I place myself in society? These questions are just the start of Alcantara's internal dialogue dealing with identity, feminism, psychological states, and cultural background.
The relationships, dreams, hopes, and cultural values that support the series of mixed media sculptures created by Stehanie Mota titled "Mi-Pietā" es nothing less than a personal exploration in which the portrait take a form of a domestic object, a sentimental/conceptual expression of identity. Every material she used in the series (wood kitchen cabinets, stovetop coffee pot, rice, etc) are a further representation of the nuances of her nostalgia associated with her mother. Lazarus Nazario mixed painting with other media such as: printmaking, and found objects to confront social practices concerning her ancestors' homeland that celebrates cultural differences while underscoring our shared history and humanity. Whether in public spaces or intimate settings, her painting explores the human figure from the intimate osmosis between essences and appearances. Her work shows the fusion of many languages to point out a clear reference of a sense of belonging.
In the same reflection Edwin Torres use as a subject his own family. "I am certain that in conclusive form, this work will have multiple layers of meaning for my family and will serve as a document to the Puerto Rican diaspora. This work is a journey of self-discovery and careful looking, where I will clarify my cultural identity and reconnect family together". In the on-going series "Close to Home: Mi Familia and the Diaspora" we can feel the overwhelming reflection of two aspects "memory" and "place" negotiating the physical and psychological aspects of acculturation built into immigrants' daily lives through adaptation and integration. For the past year, Edwin Torres have focused his work on documenting traumatic events and daily life in his immediate family

It is not surprising that dogs have a mind of their own and one of the ways they try to challenge your authority is by pulling the owner in different directions outdoors. It brings a smile to my face when I see a canine with the owner frustrated that the dog is running the show.
Regardless of the dog breed or size, they possess the ability to become alpha dominant, but you can use a harness designed to control a pulling dog to get back the upper hand. The harness should be looked at as a tool that allows you to let the dog know you're not going to stand for wandering or pulling all over the place while outdoors.
Best Harness for Dogs that Pull
It is quite frustrating while dealing with a pulling dog that wants to go west and you're trying to go east. While outdoors with my two well-trained dogs I find it comical watching the struggle between a determined dog and human master in a pulling tug of war.
Rather than deal with your dog pulling you in every direction while outdoors, consider the benefits offered by using a well-designed harness. It will afford you the ability to control your canine while not causing any injury to the canine's neck area.
Truthfully, harnesses can be a boredom to learn how to use the right way. Some brands come with too many complicated steps to make sure it fits right, which might be a turn-off for some pet lovers.
But I can assure you that a dog harness offers you better control over your dog's movement while walking outdoors. It is also the most effective dog training tool to use for compliance without much fuss from your canine friend.
You can find the best dog harness for walking from the products reviewed below:
1 – Urpower Dog Leash Harness Review
The first product to be reviewed is the Urpower Dog Leash Harness. It is made from heavy duty denim materials and comes with adjustable leash, an anti-rust hook, and superior quality buckle. It is available for purchase in three different sizes and can be used effectively on large, medium and small dogs.
I like the fact that it has red nylon strips all around the harness, which helps with increased visibility while outdoors. It is designed in such a way that it will not negatively impact pet organs but can be successfully used to prevent tugging and pulling.
Another reason why I like this harness is the affordable pricing. It is suggested you soak both the leash and harness in saline water for about half an hour and then hang to dry before first use. It is recommended you do not allow your dog to chew the leash, which means do not leave it on your pet unattended.
2 – 2 Hounds Design Freedom No Pull Dog Harness Review
The next product costs a few dollars more but it comes with additional features to make it worth the asking price. It is made in the USA and can be found for sale online in 10 different sizes and 12 unique colors. It is notable that the harness itself uses stainless steel hardware, which means it will last longer than most brand.
The entire harness and leash are made from industrial extra-strength nylon materials and it is X-stitched to increase durability. It is made to afford you four unique ways to adjust the harness and will not cause any chaffing, rubbing or sores on your canine friend.
What set this dog harness apart from other brands is the inclusion of a complete training package, which takes the guess work out of learning techniques to teach your pet the right way to behave and walk while outdoors with you.
3 – Chai's Choice Front Range Dog Harness Review
While the name for this brand might remind some of you of plant seeds this dog harness from Chai's is actually very good, and it is available for purchase at a price point just like the one reviewed at the number two spot. You can find it for sale in five sizes and six different colors.
Not only is the design stylish I also like the use of bright colors in the overall scheme of the harness. It is said to be scratch resistant, thou I doubt if that will matter when your dog tries to chew on it before it is properly fitted.
Despite the attractiveness of the design style, the lack of a leash is one of the reasons I called it pricey. The manufacturer makes a matching Chai's reflective dog leash for this harness, but it will cost you extra dollars.
Reasons Why Dogs Pull
I for one do not buy into the idea that dogs pull because they're trying to establish dominance over the owner. If you understand dog psychology you'll why your dog might pull around while it is sunny outdoors.
Your aim in using a harness is not to totally dominate your dog's every movement outdoors, but to control it so, it is safe and aligns with your walking style.
But, before we get to some of the awesome harnesses for dogs let's discuss some of the obvious reasons why your puppy friend might enjoy pulling while outdoors.
A – Dogs tend to be in a hurry, which might be surprising to some. The dog knows the time outdoors is limited and most will want to get as much done as possible by being attracted to different things and scenes including other dogs. So pulling is just a way your dog wants you to know that he will be enjoying all outdoors have to offer before going back indoors – Master!
B – Another obvious reason why your dog might pull is that they're much faster than humans and have energy levels must people would be glad to possess. If you've ever tried winning a race against your dog you'll understand what I mean?
C – When you first bring home your puppy their needs to be training so that the pet understands what activities will be accepted by the boss or not. Just like kids, dogs will try your patience by pulling and wandering about during walks, but the use of a harness allows you to get back control in more ways than one.
D – Even if your dog is well trained, there are activities outdoors that might make your dog pull. Some dogs are attracted to other dogs in a feverish kind of way. Canines tend to communicate with each other in ways humans cannot understand. Certain outdoor activities might just make your dog excited, pulling and barking are just some of the ways they communicate their interest in what is going on.
E – Finally, a canine will pull if the restraint equipment used is not effective. That is why most dog trainers encourage the use of harnesses to manage the pulling behavior of any breed.
4 – Kurgo Tru-Fit Smart Dog Walking Harness Review
Another dog harness for dogs that like to tug and pull is the Kurgo Smart dog walking harness. The design style is okay and there are several sizes to choose from based on your selection from the available two color choices, black plus a cool khaki with charcoal trim.
Its buckle has a midsection with a quick release feature, which means it is easy to put on or remove from the body of your canine. The included five adjustment points makes it easier to find the right fit for any dog size and breed. It is machine washable and should be hung to dry.
The inclusion of a feature that allows you to restrain your dog the right way inside your automobile is also another great feature worth mentioning. If you have a dog that likes to jump around in the back seat this feature would prevent unsafe driving actions.
5 – Ruffwear Adventure Harness for Dogs Review
The name Ruffwear should give you an idea what this dog harness represents. The Ruffwear Front Range harness for dogs is designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor elements. The design reminds me of the style of a worn backpack for humans only without the pockets.
While there are numerous sizes and colors, your choice of colors and sizes would help determine available choices. It is sold with the leash but it might represent the best dog harness with a modern and stylistic design edge.
The harness from the Ruffwear Front Range comes in several bright colors including eye-catching trims. Who needs a dog collar when this harness also includes an ID pocket, which you can use to include all the details about your pet?
Read the Ruffwear Harness Feedbacks on Amazon
Differences between a Dog Harness and Collar
The confusion as to what should be considered a dog harness or a dog collar is quite understandable as both can be used as restraining tools. A dog collar is usually attached around the neck of the pet with a long leash attached.
A dog harness, on the other hand, is more similar to the ones used on horses. It is not around the neck per se but still has the ability to control its movement with just a tug and pull. Here are some of the pros and cons of both:
Dog Harness Pros:
Most pet trainers that are aware of dog psychology will tell you using a harness affords you the fastest ability to get compliance from your pet. This is especially true if you're trying to get little puppies adjusted to your walking ways.
Some dog breeds just hate wearing collars around the neck. I have seen dog owners with collars that are too tight and might be uncomfortable for the pet. Harnesses will not pose such a problem as they're attached further down from the neck area.
The way harnesses are attached dogs are bound to have better fun with less wandering, jumping and pulling as the end result.
Cons for Dog Harnesses:
They tend to cost a few dollars more.
Some dog breeds actually hate harnesses.
It is more complicated to put one on your dog as compared to a collar leash that is straightforward.
Dog Collar Leash Pros:
Cost wise, they're cheaper than a dog harness.
A harness is actually more restrictive than a collar leash, which some dogs might find annoying and uncomfortable.
A dog collar leash is generally easier to put on or remove.
Cons for Dog Collar Leashes:
A Collar leash is ideal for well-trained dogs, which means they can create additional problems while trying to get your pet to obey your simple commands.
Every pull tugs on the lung of the dog, which your pet will come to hate. I have seen my fair share of a dog turning around and barking at the owner when the collar leash is pulled.
6 – Expawlorer No-Pull Dog Harness Review
If you prefer the dog harness for your dog to be snuggly fit and tight, this next product will appeal to you. It is available for purchase in five unique bright colors plus you have three sizes to make your selection from.
Why worry if your dog will pull or tug when you can use a harness like this one to ensure that is not the case. It has a restraint that allows you to secure your canine the right way during travel.
Since the design includes the use of 16M reflective materials, visibility at night would not be one of your worries while walking your dog at night. The sturdy handle is coupled with outer layer scratch resistant materials.
7 – Lifepul No Pull Dog Vest Harness Review
The last dog harness to review is from Lifepul. Based on my research it is ideally the best dog harness for large dogs one can buy online. It is quite amazing the way this harness is designed and displayed. Apart from the comfort control, it allows you to provide for your dogs, you can also buy one from a selection of three sizes and two colors.
It is the right harness to use if you want your dog to stop pulling and tugging while undergoing training outdoors. It has a safety buckle and made from a tough material that is also washable. The colors are bright, which means safety walking with your dog at night.

One of the goals to successful weight loss is to reduce the consumption of foods that end up adding calories to your daily diet. But studies have found a few foods actually take more calories to burn off than you get when you consume them. While a diet that is focused solely on these foods would be dangerous, you can add some of them into your daily snack routine to help fill your stomach between meals, while you avoid filling up on too many other items. Of course, the goal of any diet is to remain balanced and healthy as it gives you all the types of nutritional elements you need.
These are going to of course be fruits and vegetables and you need to understand that when combined with other foods, it does not actually reduce the amount of calories that are placed in a dish. So be sure you approach this list with an open mind and avoid putting your focus on how you can combine them with fatty foods instead.
One of the foods on the list that is probably best known for overall health benefits is the apple. This fruit is high in vitamin and potassium as well and many people are often impressed with their overall health benefits. If you are looking for a food that is sweet and can easily be enjoyed, you might want to consider munching on an apple.
The next choice you will have will be lettuce. This is a leafy green which will also provide you things with niacin, vitamin K and other nutrients as well. Since it is considered a healthy choice to begin with, you might consider adding in more salads to your diet. In fact, you are also going to find that other items on this list include carrots, celery, tomatoes and cucumbers that will make a perfect salad as well and each of these vegetables is listed as taking more calories to burn than they actually have.
Many people will also enjoy the fact that oranges are on this list as well. Those who are looking for a sweet treat should consider the orange as one of their options. You will find that it is very high in potassium and delivers a flavorful punch in every bite. Of course, if you would rather go for tart, then you might want to consider the grapefruit which is also listed as one of the negative calorie items you can benefit from when you are looking to lose weight. As an added bonus on the grapefruit, there have been studies that have shown its sees have antibacterial benefits and the pectin can help battle heart disease.
For those who like a little spice in their meals, there are two foods that can deliver that bite for you. The first is the chili peppers. These hot peppers can help to boost your immune system at the same time and give you additional flavor to the meals you make. If you are making a sweet treat, you might want to turn to cinnamon. This is also a negative calorie food and one that can give a spicy taste to your favorite dishes and add some depth without guilt.
What you are also going to find in this process is that there are several other foods that deliver the same benefit as well. Some of the other options you will find include:
* Strawberries
* Apricots
* Tangerines
* Cauliflower
* Watermelon
* Zucchini
Of course, these are just some of the foods you will have access to that have negative calories associated with them. What you will notice is that no foods that are high in protein or fat are included in this list. That is because those items tend to be heavy in calories instead and many people unknowingly will consume them on their diet and the result will actually be damaging.
With all this information, you can see there are certainly some foods you can choose from that will have a positive health benefit to you. Before you begin to fill your diet with these items though, you will need to sit down with your doctor or a dietician who might be able to help you incorporate these foods into a well balanced diet. That way, you can be sure you are getting some of the best foods possible, without having any malnutrition problems that can occur if you avoid adding some other important elements into your diet.

Highly-anticipated RPG YIIK, starring Melanie as lead female protagonist Vella Wilde, is out NOW on PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Steam! Melanie's work as Vella has been widely praised in reviews:
"The snarky Vella...is a consistently standout performance." (RPGFan)
"...and cool, weary Vella (Melanie Ehrlich) stand out as characters who balance the story's stranger moments with the verisimilitude of their lines." (RPGamer)
"I liked Vella Wilde–a bass playing prodigy who can manipulate sound to hurt her enemies–the most out of the bunch. From the voice acting to how she is written, she is the most compelling and likable character in YIIK's cast. The rest of your gang are all likable but they don't stand out as Vella does." (DualShockers)
Melanie voices the no-nonsense Razel, affectionate Ardea, and other endearing characters in Adult Swim Games' Battle Chef Brigade, out now for Nintendo Switch and Steam and, thanks to Limited Run Games, available at Best Buy on February 15th!

SYNOPSIS: The Lockheed AC130A Spectre gunship first made its trial appearance in Vietnam in late 1967. Because it was highly maneuverable at low speeds and could spend hours in an operational area while delivering a precisely placed stream of withering fire on a target, it immediately proved its worth in combat. By early 1969, seven AC130A gunships were deployed to SEA. These originally deployed AC130A were armed with four M61 Vulcan 20mm cannons mounted in the first half of the fuselage. Each was capable of delivering a maximum of 2,500 shots per minute. Further, each Spectre also had four 7.62mm miniguns that could fire 3,000 or 6,000 shots per minute. In 1969-1970, two of the miniguns and two of the 20mm cannons were removed to make room for the addition of a pair of 40mm Bofors cannons that were mounted in the aft section of the aircraft. While capable of delivering 110 shots per minute, they were generally used to fire 3 to 4 round bursts of fire one gun at a time. The second generation AC130E/H models arrived in 1972 armed with two Vulcan 20mm cannons, one 40mm Bofors cannon and a 105mm Howitzer. This modification, along with a sophisticated fire control system, made the gunship an extremely affective tank killer as well as an equally effective weapon for interdicting enemy traffic along the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
On 21 December 1972, the crew of a Lockheed AC130A gunship named "Thor," tail number 56-0490 and call sign "Spectre 17," departed Ubon, Thailand on an interdiction mission to interrupt enemy movement along the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Laos. Its crew of 16 was comprised of Capt. Harry R. Lagerwall, pilot; Major Francis A. Walsh, Jr., fighter pilot who was listed as an additional crewman for this mission; Capt. Stanley N. Kroboth, co-pilot; then Capt. Thomas T. Hart III, table navigator; TSgt. James R. Fuller, flight engineer; TSgt. Robert T. Elliott, aerial gunner; A1C Charles F. Fenter, aerial gunner; A1C Rollie K. Reaid, aerial gunner; 1st Lt. George D. Macdonald, sensor operator; 1st Lt. Delma Dickens, sensor operator, 1st Lt. Robert L. Liles, sensor operator; Major Paul O. Meder, infrared sensor operator; TSgt. John Q. Winningham, illuminator operator; TSgt. Carl E. Stevens, illuminator operator; TSgt. Richard Williams, aerial gunner; and Capt. Joel R. Birch, sensor operator. With the exception of Major Walsh who was a member of the 497th Tactical Fighter Squadron, all members of this aircrew were assigned to the 16th Special Operations Squadron. Both Squadrons were stationed at Ubon Airbase, Thailand.
During the flight to the target, Spectre 17 inexplicably broke altitude descending to a lower level according to crewmen aboard other gunships taking part in the same mission, and was hit by enemy ground fire. After evaluating the amount of battle damage sustained by Thor, the decision was made to attempt to return to base. After 10 minutes of stable, level flight, fuel accumulated ankle deep in the cargo area igniting an explosion that severely damaged the aircraft, but did not cause it to disintegrate. According to reports provided by other aircrews who monitored radio communications between the crew of Spectre 17, along with communications between aircraft, none of the 16 crewmen were injured by the ground fire that initially damaged the gunship. The crewmen were preparing for a possible bailout by putting on their parachutes, and those men not necessary for flying it were moving to the rear of the aircraft. The jump bell was heard over the headsets of those monitoring communications between the aircraft 5 to 10 seconds before Spectre 17 exploded. Further, once the men hit the ground, many emergency beepers were heard "going off all over the place."
TSgt. Richard Williams parachuted just before the explosion and TSgt. Carl E. Stevens did the same immediately afterward. Both men evaded enemy patrols and were rescued hours later. According to US intelligence reports that vary somewhat in content in as much as each gives bits and pieces of the story, once Carl Stevens and Richard Williams were rescued - and within 24 hours of the incident - the crash site was visited by either friendly indigenous forces and/or a US Search and Rescue (SAR) team who found and photographed 2 piles of bloody bandages and 5 deployed parachutes. The partial remains of Capt. Joel R. Birch, which consisted of part of one arm and hand, were recovered and these "remains" were later identified through fingerprints. He was listed as Killed in Action/Body Recovered because of this positive identification. Other than TSgt. Stevens and TSgt. Williams who were rescued, no other crewmen could be located.
Based on the physical examination of the crash site, Thor cut a path of destruction through jungle vegetation, which is consistent with a long, horizontal glide flight path to the jungle floor rather than a crater/hole in the jungle floor caused by a relatively vertical, rapid decent. The crash occurred in the rugged jungle covered mountains just a few hundred meters from the village of Nong Song Hong, Champassak Province, Laos; approximately 13 miles due east of Xe Don Lou River, which empties into the Mekong River on the west side of the town of Pakse, some 25 miles southwest of the crash site.
According to a 1973 Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) intelligence report, in early 1973, a US satellite photographed the roughly 10-foot high numbers "1973" or "1573" and the initials "TH" stomped out in elephant grass some 200 miles north of the crash site. No matter how the numbers and letters are examined, experts believe they can only be connected with the crew of Spectre 17, and almost certainly belong to Tom Hart. For example: the internal call sign and name of that aircraft was THOR. The only man aboard that aircraft with those initials was Tom Hart. Further, the #1 crew position on the AC130 and MC130 aircraft is the table navigator rather than the pilot - Tom Hart's position. The number "573" was on the crew compartment's window on the right side of that aircraft. The year was 1973 when the signal was made and photographed. That satellite photograph was later evaluated by other intelligence experts who stated that the letters were not stamped out in elephant grass, which would have indicated it was made by someone passing through the area. They determined those letters and numbers were made by planting Manioc plants to form the signal, which shows permanency.
From 1981 to 1984, the Special Forces Detachment in Korea was charged by President Reagan with the responsibility of collecting live POW information throughout Southeast Asia. "SFDK" was commanded by Major Mark Smith, he himself a returned POW from the Vietnam War. Through his efforts, and those of team Intelligence Sergeant Mel McIntire, an agent net of 50 agents was established, specifically in Laos. The result of this intelligence net resulted in Major Smith compiling a list of some 26 American POWs by name and captivity location, with Thomas T. Hart III and George D. Macdonald being two of them. SFDK collected information that indicated other members of this aircrew were also alive, although that data was not as conclusive as the information on Hart and Macdonald.
In April 1984, Major Smith received a message from one of his agents specifying that on 11 May three US Prisoners of War would be brought to a given location on the Lao/Thai border. The only prerequisite was that an American be on the Thailand side of the border to receive the men. When this information was reported up his chain of command, Major Smith's team was ordered not to leave Korea, to destroy all documents pertaining to LIVE POWs and they were sent back to the United States 6 months early. This documented information was provided to the United States Senate Veterans Affairs Committee in sworn testimony on 28 January 1986.
In September 1982, 10 years after the crash, a private sector delegation of family members were allowed to visit the crash site unofficially. They did not know ahead of time if they would be allowed to go to a crash site, or which one. Ironically, Tom Hart's wife was part of this delegation. This site is extremely difficult to reach unlike literally dozens of other crash sites in the immediate area. Once there, they confirmed through first-hand observation the vegetation was visibly thinner than in the surrounding jungle consistent with a glide-path landing. There was no crater which would be expected if the flight path had been steep. There were two small depressions consistent with the location of the engines. Between the 2 depressions was a shallow "trench-like depression" which was consistent with the aircraft fuselage.
In February, 1985, a joint US/Lao excavation of the AC130A crash site was conducted. A large number of small bone fragments and a few teeth, which had obviously been subjected to intense heat and with a total weight of only 6 pounds, were found. A 4 1/2 month examination of these bones and teeth resulted in the US Government's Central Identification Laboratory in Hawaii (CIL-HI) reporting the "positive identification" of remains for all 13 crew members still missing. None of the bones or teeth were attributed to the missing portion of Capt. Birch.
The Hart, Macdonald and Fuller families had an independent study of their men's remains done by a Board Certified Forensic Anthropologist. He stated, "I am able to conclude that it is scientifically impossible to identify said bone fragments as the mortal remains of any individual." Later investigation of the CIL revealed that eleven of the thirteen positive identifications could not have been made scientifically. In January 1987, because of Civil Court action, the Defense Department rescinded the identification of Tom Hart's and George Macdonald's remains. Other families of this crew sought the Court's assistance in fighting this travesty, however, officially the USG considers all 13 men to be "accounted for."
Did the remaining 13 crewmen aboard Spectre 17 have their remains recovered and identified or are they still among nearly 600 Americans who disappeared in Laos and remain unaccounted for? Many of these men were known to be alive on the ground. The Laotians admitted holding "tens of tens" of American Prisoners of War, but these men were never negotiated for either by direct negotiation between our countries or through the Paris Peace Accords that ended the War in Vietnam since Laos was not a party to that agreement.
Since the end of the Vietnam War well over 21,000 reports of American prisoners, missing and otherwise unaccounted for have been received by our government. Many of these reports document LIVE America Prisoners of War remaining captive throughout Southeast Asia TODAY. Pilots and aircrews were called upon to fly in many dangerous circumstances, and they were prepared to be wounded, killed or captured. It probably never occurred to them that they could be abandoned by the country they so proudly served.
While the USG considers
Tom Hart and George Macdonald, as well as James Fuller, to be "remains
returned," their families do not. They ask that Americans continue to
wear their men's POW/MIA bracelets and help them fight for an honorable
accounting of them.

text: Hey all, I rooted my Droid 1 using the standard method (I think the "Root ANY Version" commonly found here). I did this to both my dad and I's Droid 1 to allow tethering for our Xooms. Now every few days it says there is a system update to install. We were (as far as I know) on the latest and greatest software version before the root, so not sure why it keeps asking to update. I rooted them about 2 weeks ago and wasn't getting any system update requests before then. When I say "go ahead" it blocks the update and restarts. I've tried changing the file name of update.zip thinking it might be seeing that and thinking it's a new version, but it hasn't worked. Any advice? Is there a real OTA update that I am unaware of?

Crystal Palace 1 Burnley 0: Sako extends Eagles revival
Crystal Palace are five points clear of the relegation zone after Bakary Sako scored decisively to down Burnley at Selhurst Park.
Bakary Sako's sixth goal of the season gave Crystal Palace a 1-0 win over Burnley and moved Roy Hodgson's side further away from the relegation strife that once threatened to engulf their season.
Former Wolves forward Sako was aghast to see a first-half penalty claim waved away after being brought down by James Tarkowski but channelled his frustrations to secure the points midway through the first half at Selhurst Park.
Palace's recovery under Hodgson now stands at a solitary defeat in their past 12 Premier League outings – an impressive rehabilitative effort for both the south London club, who are five points clear of the bottom three, and their veteran former England manager.
That poisoned chalice might one day pass to Sean Dyche, who has rarely seen his robust backline endure as many problems as Sako, Christian Benteke and Wilfried Zaha inflicted during the opening half hour.
Forwards Sam Vokes and Ashley Barnes had the Clarets' best opportunities to equalise but a slump from their sparkling form earlier in the season now sees them winless in the past six Premier League matches, with Manchester United up next at Turf Moor.

Burnley left-back Charlie Taylor cleared a viciously dipping Patrick van Aanholt cross just over his own crossbar in the eighth minute – a close shave that encapsulated a nervy opening for the visitors.
Palace should have been awarded a penalty when Tarkowski dived in desperately on a rampaging Sako, although the same player responded by superbly breaking the deadlock in the 21st minute.
There was still plenty to do when Sako retrieved Benteke's flick, but he drove towards a backpedalling Phil Bardsley and crashed a low shot through Tarkowski's legs that flew into the net via the boot of Nick Pope.
Pope was then sold short by Taylor, with Zaha beating the Burnley goalkeeper to an ill-advised header back. Captain Ben Mee flung himself bravely to brilliantly deny James McArthur on the goal-line.
Benteke leapt to power over from a Luka Milivojevic corner, while a set-piece situation saw Dyche's side belatedly threaten – Vokes glancing Johann Gudmundsson's searching ball from the left just past the far top corner.
Palace keeper Wayne Hennessey did well to tip Barnes' dipping effort over, while Pope would have had no chance in the 44th minute had Sako's blistering volley from Timothy Fosu-Mensah's cross been on target.

Fosu-Mensah was less effective inside his own area six minutes into the second half when Barnes got over the back of him to nod wide, while Vokes came closer still by heading into the side netting.
A bouncing ball in the Burnley box caused confusion in the 57th minute and Taylor did well to block when the goal beckoned for Zaha.
Georges-Kevin Nkoudou was introduced in place of Jeff Hendrick for a Burnley debut after the hour and the Tottenham loanee almost had an immediate impact, clipping in a cross from the byline on the left that Gudmundsson was unable to turn home.
Benteke headed off target under pressure from the tireless Taylor when Sako stood up a 69th-minute cross to the far post - more fine combination play from a forward duo who might relish next weekend's trip to Arsenal.
Hennessey was out sharply to deny Barnes an equaliser four minutes from time, with a subsequent melee by the touchline after Taylor sent Zaha careering into television equipment indicative of Burnley's frustration.

Put the word "magic" in the name of a product and I'll give it a go. The Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation is one of the most expensive foundations I've tried so far and at €40, it'd want to be on the Harry Potter end of the magical scale. Wingardium leviosa and all that!
This foundation has mad claims, promising to work for all skin tones, skin types and ages. It claims to minimise oil production after 9 weeks, helps reduce over production of melanocytes which causes pigmentation, smooths the appearance of wrinkles in one hour and that's only half of the claims. I had to pick the wildest ones or we'd be here for the day. Now I haven't been using it for 9 weeks yet so can't comment on the oil production aspect and I don't have problems with pigmentation. The wrinkles thing I'm not sure of as I find that it can settle in the laugh lines around my mouth sometimes.
The packaging is pure luxury with it's art deco inspired bottle. The bottle itself is glass, so it's not travel friendly but sure we won't hold that against it. It's what's inside that really counts isn't it?
The Magic Foundation really does have supernatural powers in that it evens out my complexion effortlessly, covering the redness on my nose and cheeks in seconds. Despite it's thick texture, it feels nice and lightweight on the skin, doesn't cake and is easily buildable.
Let me talk about application for a second. There's a Magic Complexion Brush that's touted to work perfectly with it, but as I've more makeup brushes than sense at the moment, I thought I'd make do with what I have at home. The first time I used the foundation, I applied it with my damp Beauty Blender and the finish was perfection. The next time I tried a buffing brush and I found that it didn't sit as well on my skin and didn't blend in as easily. And it was then that I realised it reminded me of Estee Lauder's Double Wear in terms of texture and finish. So like Double Wear, once I apply it with my Beauty Blender, I get this finish:
It leaves my skin with a slight sheen when I've finished faffing about with it, but doesn't feel wet or tacky when on. I absolutely love the glow it gives me, yet is dry to the touch. There are fifteen shades in the range and I'm using shade 4 in the photos today. I could've gotten away with a 3 or 3.5 too and find that because my neck is so pale, I generally have to blend all foundations down the aul neck.
This lasts all day on me and that's without powdering. When I say all day, I always mean the work day as we know I love getting into lounge wear as soon as I get home! If I'm heading out right after work, I apply it and then use my Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder over my t-zone just to make sure it stays in place and it does.
Other makeup goes on seamlessly over the top and in the photo below, I thought it was high time to bring out my Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze and Glow for the craic. It's a contour and highlight duo that I reach for in the colder months and love the soft focus finish it gives me.
No other foundation has gotten a look in since I bought this a few weeks ago. And at €40, this fact alone justifies my purchase! If you've skin on the dry side, I'd give it a miss and try the Light Wonder foundation instead, or try to get a sample and apply it using a beauty blender to see how you get on. Those with normal to oily skin, check it out.
What have I started? Now I want to try Charlotte's Airbrush Flawless Finish powder.... And a blush.... And some of the matte lipsticks... As a true lover of her eyeshadow palettes and with two in my collection (so far), I'm a full blown Charlotte Tilbury lover!
What do I need to try next?

By Sandra K. Cox, M.D.
As a physician and psychiatrist, my work is to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients who come to me with various difficulties, primarily depression, anxiety, Bipolar Disorder and addictions. I love my work as it fosters a uniquely intimate relationship with my patients and that relationship in turn demands that my approach to assisting them with their health be guided by the values espoused by the Hippocratic Oath which includes this paragraph:
"I will prevent disease whenever I can
but I will always look for a path
to a cure for all diseases."
Throughout the history of Western Medicine, physicians have found themselves increasingly and unduly pressured by payor sources to prescribe only conventional and pharmaceutical treatments for disease, rather than natural approaches through nutrition and exercise. The pharmaceutical industry has become so enormous and powerful that it now influences the insurance industry in ways that tend to dictate treatment of patients. Additionally, physicians aren't adequately trained in the areas of nutrition and exercise, therefore, default to the areas in which they feel competent. As a result, traditional medicine revolves around diagnosing and prescribing a treatment which almost exclusively, involves pharmaceuticals or surgical intervention. Many physicians have just passively gone with the pharmaceutical flow. The problem is that pharmaceuticals that treat depression and anxiety can become ineffective over an extended period of use. Additionally, whether or not we like to acknowledge it, human beings will take the easiest route to comfort rather than choosing one that requires more effort, thus patients want a quick and easy fix to their problems.
So, I'm here to talk to you about the one that requires more effort, and can give you not only lasting results, but control over your brain functioning, cognition, mood, energy and your life. Few patients hear about nutrition and supplements from their physicians, so let's give you some lessons in nutrition and supplements that could change your life.
First of all, Vitamins (or supplements), serve as catalysts in chemical reactions in the body. They either assist in the construction of molecules and proteins or in the breakdown of them. They are vital to all areas of our body's functioning. Today, we're going to talk about Folic Acid.
Folic Acid is a substance found in dark, green, leafy vegetables such as spinach.
Functions of Folic Acid
- Repair of damaged DNA;
- Detoxification
- Recycling of Homocysteine, an inflammation-causing breakdown product of DNA
- Production of Serotonin and Dopamine in the brain which function to protect against depression and maintain cognitive functioning
Deficiency found as low levels of the metabolically active form of Folic Acid (5-MTHF) can lead to:
- Cognitive impairment
- Mood and behavioral disorders
- Immune dysfunction
- Cancer
- Cardiovascular Disease
- Compromised Detoxification
- Susceptibility to addiction
Folic Acid and Addiction
The vital role of Folic Acid in treating addiction has recently come to light to such an extent that even the pharmaceutical companies have gotten on board and begin manufacturing a pharmaceutical grade, concentrated form of 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), the active metabolite of Folic Acid that crosses the brain/blood barrier and helps to create Serotonin and Dopamine. Dopamine is deficient in the brains of people who easily become addicted. The substance to which they become addicted releases Dopamine in the brain which in turn releases Endorphins that induce a euphoric feeling. When we feed the addicted brain more 5-MTHF, more Dopamine is produced, thus reducing cravings and relieving the depression which often results in withdrawal from the addictive substance. Because Folic Acid is the molecularly stable form of the supplement that can be supplied in an over-the-counter form and requires this conversion in the body to 5-MTHF in order to become active, it is of vital importance that a) enough Folic Acid is acquired through the diet or supplementation and b) the individual requiring more Dopamine and Serotonin production has the appropriate enzyme in Methyltetrahydrofolate Reductase to reduce Folic Acid to 5-MTHF.
Reasons why we are deficient:
There are a number of reasons humans can be deficient or at least insufficient in Folic Acid. First, surprisingly, studies show that 50% of the population is at risk for insufficiency in Folic Acid due to a genetic defect called a SNP polymorphism (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) in the gene that codes for Methyltetrahydrofolate Reductase, an enzyme that breaks Folic Acid into its' two active forms, one of which is 5-MTHF. There is a subset of the population which tend to be of Italian, Hispanic or Asian ethnicity that are much more likely to be deficient in Methyltetrathydrofolate Reductase, therefore, unable to convert Folic Acid to 5-MTHF.
Second, our produce is now being grown on soils that are increasingly depleted of nutrients, thereby the food we buy is also depleted. Therefore, acquiring an adequate amount of Folic Acid in the diet is difficult with supplementation.
Improve your brain with supplementation and nutrition:
These are ways you can introduce more Folic Acid into your diet, which require supplementation. I recommend using a form called Folinic Acid which is more easily broken down into the components your brain can receive through the brain/blood barrier. And of course, it's always great if you can eat a healthy salad made from a dark, green leafy vegetable at least once/day. Choosing greens such as Leaf Lettuce; Kale and Spinach will add Folate to your diet.
Personally, I get my Folinic Acid from a company called Life Extension. Life Extension is a physician and scientist owned and operated nutritional supplement company. Their products are developed out of careful research designed to offer alternatives to pharmaceuticals. I am in no way endorsed by Life Extension, so this is not a paid advertisement. I'm just sharing with you my personal and professional experience.
