The One Thing You Didn't Know About The Ketogenic Diet
In with the avocados, out with the carbs—that's what the ketogenic diet is all about. By eating a diet high in healthy fats, the idea is to reach a state of ketosis, meaning the body is no longer using glucose for energy. So it turns to stored fats and breaks those down instead.
In addition to weight loss and improved energy, research shows that going keto may be an effective way to reduce chronic pain, making it nature's pain reliever. While we're well-versed in what to eat while on the ketogenic diet—grass-fed butter, pasteurized eggs, coconut oil, fish, nuts, and vegetables—whether a high-fat diet lends itself to CrossFit or light jogging isn't as clear.
We decided to get to the bottom of how you should exercise while on the ketogenic diet. Here's what you should know.
The scoop on running
If you're a long-distance runner who tends to carbo-load before a big run, consider ditching the pasta and loading up on healthy fats instead. According to celebrity trainer Wes Okerson, the ketogenic diet is ideal for endurance sports. "There are a lot of triathletes who are pushing more toward having higher fat content or variables in their diet, and they're cutting out the idea of carb loading," he says. "They're doing 20- to 30-mile bike rides and getting three, four, even five hours of exercise per day. The keto lifestyle works really well for them."
About HIIT and CrossFit
At first glance, the ketogenic diet may seem like a perfect fit for CrossFitters who are lifting massive amount of weight regularly. While the keto diet isn't necessarily bad for them, their workouts lend themselves to a slightly more carb-heavy diet.
"Those people are going through their warm-up and doing some basic calisthenic work and working full-on max effort—they're going to need some carbs," says Wes. "They should have their carbs before their workout—throw a banana into something, mix protein into oatmeal, and get steel-cut oats. They are going to need some carbs, especially if they're really working that hard."
Here's one we didn't see coming: Wes is a huge fan of yoga, especially for keto dieters. "People don't realize that you need to be functionally flexible. Yoga is amazing, and people who are practicing yoga—it's a good idea for them to be on a higher fat, moderate protein, lower carb lifestyle," he explains. "You can get into some outrageously hard poses. In those classes, our heart rate is elevated for two or three minutes at a time. You still want it to go for the fat storage. If someone's in yoga doing three or four minutes of a difficult pose and your body isn't fat adaptive, you'll get lethargic and tired."
Jordan Younger, an LA-based yoga instructor who Wes trains, echoes this sentiment. "I have a caffeine-free Keto OS in the evenings before I teach back-to-back hot yoga classes. I get an insane energy from it," she says. "And I usually have some complex carbs at night like sweet potato or quinoa because I find that it works best for my body, and then I start again with my mini ketosis in the morning."
Who's ready to go for a 7-mile run and then hit the yoga studio? We certainly are.

Universal's banner year continues with another record. Universal Pictures International has grossed $3.78 billion to set a new industry record for the highest-grossing year ever at the international box office. Internationally, the studio has four of the top five highest-grossing films of the year: Fast & Furious 7 (No. 1 with $1.162 billion), Jurassic World (No. 2 with $983.5 million), Minions (No. 4 with $670.2 million) and Fifty Shades of Grey (No. 5 with $404.1 million). The studio, which also set records for the fastest a studio has ever reached $2 billion and $3 billion at the international box office, has also been No. 1 at the international box office for 10 weeks, more than any other studio, and has had four No. 1 worldwide openings. "We are very proud of the overwhelming success we have had at the international box office," said Duncan Clark, President Distribution, UPI. "There are countless people who contribute to this level of success. First and foremost our studio executive ranks, led by Jeff Shell and Donna Langley, then of course our filmmakers and talent. This record-breaking milestone is also a testament to the tireless work of those invaluable team members at our head offices in Los Angeles and London as well as those in our operating companies, joint ventures and local distributors around the world." Jurassic World has the biggest international and worldwide opening weekend of all time, opening No. 1 in 69 territories where the film was released. It was the fastest film to reach $1 billion worldwide after only 13 days of release and is currently the third-highest-grossing film worldwide ever, behind Avatar and Titanic.

If you've never known the glory of a mayonnaise cake, you're in for a treat! The staple ingredient yields an ultra-moist crumb and keeps the sugar from taking over your taste buds.
How to Make It
Preheat oven to 350°. Whisk together flour and next 5 ingredients in a medium bowl. Grease (with shortening) and flour a 13- x 9-inch pan. Beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla at medium-high speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer about 3 minutes or until mixture is very light brown and ribbons form when beater is lifted. Add mayonnaise, and beat at low speed until combined. Add flour mixture to egg mixture alternately with hot water, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake at 350° for 30 to 35 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack (about 1 hour). Spread Chocolate-Cream Cheese Frosting on cake.

Staying anonymous online is like running a marathon through a mine field. We have various government agencies breaking into systems to steal our data, or Internet Service Providers like AT&T that mess with user traffic and inject ads to earn some extra bucks by exploiting their customers for advertising. Besides organizations that make online privacy harder for the general population, technology itself is not easy to deal with either.
There are many pitfalls when using VPNs like:
- DNS leaks
- IPv6 leaks
- Problems with the cryptographic routines used:
- PPTP broken*
- OpenSSL Heartbleed
- OpenSSL Logjam and FREAK
- There are more but we leave it at that
- Browser related leaks and bad crypto config
- Unconfigured or improperly configured firewalls (esp. looking at OSX users)
With all those issues present it is already difficult for the average user to attain even a basic level of privacy or anonymity without spending a lot of time researching how to fix things.
To make matters worse there seems to be a recent trend to splash names on vulnerabilities and then send them rather into the "news on security" circus than doing something about educating users more thoroughly. Portfail comes to mind as the most prominent example. Delivering news in that style sends unsuspecting users into a frenzy because it is hard to filter out what is hype, what are real issues and how do they affect the service(s) used in question. While we agree that identified security issues should be addressed and fixed, there are a number of problems that are rarely spoken about.
Many people are concerned about anonymity but the hard questions are rarely asked or answered for that matter. We have been making this experience with every single VPN provider ranking in the last years that we were asked to participate in. Everybody seems only to be concerned about "the logging question" which cannot be validated at all and which also -- obvious as it is -- is only one question among many others that never get asked at all. To the best of our knowledge there is neither a procedure nor an established entity, that can provide you as a user, with a trustworthy explanation or report based on a real world audit of VPN provider infrastructure. Trust but verify.
So what should users be concerned about? Without any proactive transparency on the VPN provider part, a potential VPN user should look at least for the following things:
Website security
Lets start with the VPN providers website. Its the first line of defense when you need to interact with your VPN provider since you need to make an account, log in, pay for your VPN, etc.
Does the website enforce HTTPS and is it actually properly configured? Use ssllabs.com to check the sites SSL configuration and securityheaders.io to check for HTTP header best practices. Does the website use mixed HTTP/HTTPS content? Imagine the following scenario:
- HTTPS VPN provider website relies on resources fetched via HTTP
- VPN provider has servers overseas and the website hosted outside the VPN network
- You log into the website using the VPN but website access is not routed internally but instead uses the normal internet
In the best case you just face a loss of anonymity by partially exposing communications that reveal things about you. In the worst case you open yourself up to injection attack from the spooks via Quantum Inserts.
Web trackers and affiliate programs
Next on the list is the topic of web trackers. Install NoScript + EFF privacy badger + something like Disconnect. Are there any web-analytics trackers on the website? External resources like JavaScript, social media "buttons", etc? They are all used to track your footprints on the internet.
If the VPN service you are looking at is using ad networks, ask yourself how can you trust someone who is spending money on advertising networks that track you. Are they not supposed to protect you from this exact industry? Many (not all) affiliate programs fall into the same category. How do you pay your affiliates if you do not properly track where your users come from?
Mail system
Next on the checklist is the mail infrastructure. If you have a problem you are likely going to write an email to your provider, so it's a good idea to actually check what they are using.
The rule of thumb here is self hosted == good, externally hosted == bad.
To check the MX record enter the provider domain there. If the result turns out to be Google mail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc., congrats all your support requests are leaked to a 3rd party. Do not forget that mails contain user identifying information as well. Got something to hide? Read this interesting article and this piece.
Ticket system
The next item on the list when interacting with your VPN provider is to check for a ticket system. While it is nice that they wont "lose" your support requests a ticket systems primary purpose is to NOT forget any customer interaction. Many businesses rely on a ticket system to define Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and consider them essential. If there is a ticket system ask how often old data is deleted.
User data retention
Part of providing a privacy service is that your provider should care about the data you leave in their system. So it's a good idea to check if they have some kind of data retention policy. There are many more places where user identifiable data piles up other than just the VPN itself.
- Do they delete old user accounts?
- What about your emails or the ticket system?
- How many payment records are kept in the system and for how long?
- Payment logs?
- Web and mail server logs?
- DNS server logs?
- Firewall and IDS logs?
Data a provider does not have cannot be lost. As a small exercise comb through your mail folders or password store and check which of the VPN providers you do not use anymore have deleted your account.
DNS servers
Check if the DNS servers assigned by the VPN are actually located within the VPN itself. Once DNS requests pass network boundaries they are open to manipulation. Quantum insert to the rescue, yet again. The whole issue can be worked around by forcing your system to use DNSCrypt by default.
So far all checks have been more or less technical now it's time to look at the organizational aspects of a VPN provider.
The basic question is "What is the primary jurisdiction the VPN provider operates from?". This question is relevant because companies operating from the US or the UK (for example) can be forced to spy on users without having any legal way to disclose that fact to their users. If you are really unlucky the entity operating the VPN service got slapped with a gag order which cannot be violated without risking severe legal consequences.
Some providers try to work around that issue by setting up a warrant canary. A canary is a text file which states that no National Security Letter (NSL) or gag order has been installed by the government. A list of websites having installed warrant canaries can be found at canarywatch.org. While a canary is a good idea, operating a VPN provider in a jurisdiction that does not offer the legal instruments of a gag order and/or forcefully installed network taps is the better way to go.
Server locations
Besides the "We are the most secure VPN in the world" advertising mantra there is the "We are the fastest VPN in the world" motto that gets advertised. Armed with the knowledge from above about jurisdictions you have to ask yourself what counts more. Speed or anonymity? Check where the servers you are connecting to are located network wise by making a whois lookup on the IP addresses. Does the VPN provider actually OWN those machines or are they rented from a 3rd party located in a 3rd (or even 4th) party network?
There is no point in promising you nothing is logged while the network where the VPN server is located in has to be considered hostile. Every infrastructure component a VPN provider hands off to a 3rd party extends the trust relationship you assume to that 3rd party as well. In most cases it lowers the amount of trust you can put into a system rather than increasing it.
In an ideal setting your VPN provider owns all of the hardware AND the network it operates.
What prevents a random 3rd party hoster from actually installing a Management Engine rootkit malware on offered servers for cryptographic key material recovery? Or a network tap for that matter.
The point is that most VPN providers are primarily businesses. The primary objective of most businesses is to drive costs down. In return one of the easiest ways to infiltrate and exploit VPN infrastructure is simply to offer cheap server hosting (do not worry the taxpayer will cover the bills). You might think that this is no big issue, but being on the receiving end there is a never ending stream of hosting offers specifically "tailored for our needs".
Applying the "Trust but verify" principle is really hard considering the environment for 3rd party hosting services.
Below are just two recent examples:
To whom this may concern, XXX works with many major VPN clients around the globe; so, I wanted to inquire as to whether IPredator would also have a need for our extensive US / international server network and vast IP portfolio? I am happy to send over additional information at your request. Many thanks, XXX
Hi, My name is XXX and I represent XXX.com. I was visiting IPredator.se today and I couldn't tell where you host your VPN nodes. I wanted to know if you were interested in replacing any of your current US vendors or if you're interested in expanding to a new vendor to diversify where you source your servers. We have recently begun to specialize in VPN/Proxy company hosting, so we know the nuances of the industry, making the experience pre and post sales efficient and easy for you. We're happy to announce your IPs or provide our own. Our servers are covered by a 100% uptime SLA on power and network and a 4 hour hardware replacement SLA. We have a full featured control panel, SWIP, rDNS, and more. We make the IP justification process fast and easy. Our friendly support team is standing by 24/7 365 to assist if the need every arises. Here are some example quotes, we're happy to tailor these to your needs: Intel Xeon E3-1230v3 16gb RAM 1TB HDD 20TB bandwidth 1000mbit port $149/month Intel Xeon E3-1230v3 16gb RAM 1TB HDD /24 IP space 20TB bandwidth 1000mbit port $199/month We offer services out of our Tier 3 compliant facilities in Dallas, Miami, Chicago, and Los Angeles. If you're getting better pricing in any of the cities we operate in, we want to see it and beat it! Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day.
There is another question in that same category: how many of the VPN providers out there are running there services on virtual machines hosted by third parties? Do you think VPN providers can easily offer exit machines in two dozen countries by deploying hardware they own and operate in datacenters they can trust? Honest to good, poke around and just for the fun of it ask some of them.
TLS certificate authentication
Last but not least you should check how your provider authenticates you as a user to their system. Many providers use TLS certificate authentication where a client certificate is issued for your user account. This certificate is then presented to the server infrastructure and used to allow or deny a login to the VPN system. So far so good, but there is a teeny-weeny issue when a TLS certificate is used.
When the TLS protocol suites were designed, anonymity was not seen as important as confidentiality or integrity of the connection. So in reality when you use a certificate to authenticate to OpenVPN for example it will leak the client certificate name and fingerprint in plaintext when negotiating the TLS handshake. This problem has been identified and documented as far back as 2012 but has not been fixed so far (scheduled fix is in TLS 1.3). You might ask whats the big deal here. Assume the following:
- You create a new VPN account which uses a TLS client certificate
- You connect from your home IP
Now at that point the information about the association of your client certificate and home IP will have been entered into systems like XKEYSCORE from the NSA, the GCHQ or whatever spook agency which happen to sniff the whole internet just because they can. You go to your best friends house / your spouse / lover / company and connect from there the spooks will know it's you because of the client cert leak. Good bye anonymity ...
Below is an excerpt taken from a raw packet trace that a VPN client sent to its server in a test setup. The name of the client certificate in this test was fbhwaephubsh.vpn.ipredator.se. As you can see this name is also transmitted in plaintext over the wire. This is only a problem in cases where there is a 1:1 relationship between the client certificate and the user. Some providers do not offer any certificate authentication, others use shared client certs, but the general use case for a client certificate is to hand out unique ones.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – For her impressive efforts in helping No. 13 Louisville (16-3) to a 4-1 record this past weekend at the Citrus Classic in Kissimmee, Fla., including a victory over then-No. 11 LSU, Cardinal junior second baseman Katie Keller has been selected as the Louisville Slugger/NFCA Division I National Player of the Week for March 5.
U of L's lead-off hitter batted .667 overall (8-for-12) with three doubles, an impressive seven walks and a pair of RBIs, while posting an .800 on-base percentage and a .917 slugging percentage. The reigning BIG EAST Player of the Week managed to reach base successfully 15 of the 19 times she stepped to the plate via hit or walk and tallied at least one run in four of the week's five match-ups. After opening the event by going 1-for-3 with a double during Louisville's razor-thin, 2-0 loss to then-No. 5 Texas, Keller eventually posted identical 2-for-2 efforts with two runs scored and a RBI during victories over both No. 11 LSU (6-2) and Temple (8-0) and was 2-for-2 with a pair of two-baggers in a 6-3 win over Georgia Tech.
Benefited by her weekend's strong performance, Keller currently guides the Cardinals with a .450 batting average and has now tallied a team-leading 22 runs.
Next up for No. 13 Louisville is its home-hosted Red & Black Tournament slated for March 8-10 at Ulmer Stadium. During the event, U of L is slated to face No. 14 Michigan, Miami (OH), Austin Peay and Illinois State.

In the United States, queer people, facing centuries of discrimination and persecution, have been victims of erasure from the American narrative. Only a select few have broken through the "rainbow ceiling" into popular historical and literary study, and most of them have been in the past fifty years. Queer people have either been pushed out all-together, or as in the cases of Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson, have had parts of their identity erased to allow them to exist in the American narrative. This has been even more true for queer writers of color.
This collection strives to include work both by canonical authors like Whitman, Dickinson, and Hughes by lesser well-known authors like Jennie June and Publick Universal Friend to demonstrate the spectrum of erasure queer people have historically been subject to.
These twenty-one authors are a small sampling from the overwhelming amount of queer, American authors available, and the work selected, an even smaller sampling. However, they are compiled to offer a small glimpse into the world of queer existence in each time period as well as proof of centuries of queerness in the United States.
The authors here have complex relationships with their sexual and/or gender identities. The works included have been carefully selected to represent their unique queerness to best respect each author's identities.
Editor's Note
For this collection, I define a person as "queer" if they do not exhibit cisgender or heterosexual identities, and would therefore fit into contemporary definitions of LGBTQIA2S+ identity. I realize the issue of putting historical figures into contemporary language, especially considering how definitions of sexuality and gender have changed over time, however, this collection focuses on expressions of queerness as opposed to queer identification.
While reading works from the first two sections, it is important to keep in mind the historical context in which each was written. While each author has their own introduction and small biography before the excerpt, I would like to express that gender and sexuality identity are very broad concepts and our current understanding, as well as our historical understanding, are just best guesses at categorizing an identity spectrum. Just like our culture today, each author's understanding of their identity is influenced by social constructs in place. For example, Jennie June often refers to herself as an "introvert," a term of late nineteenth century psychology, and how Publick Universal Friend presents their genderless identity often being intertwined with their sexual abstinence.
Two authors of this collection, namely Publick Universal Friend and Jennie June, are often referred to in academic studies by their birth names: Jemima Wilkinson and Earl Lind respectively. However, out of respect for the authors, I insist on using each author's preferred name and pronouns.

Env : JBoss portal 2.6 / AS 4.2
I am running into the exact same issue. The documentation on what is a very common customization is really sparse. Would highly appreciate it if any of the JBoss folks throw some light on this.
Thanks in advance
2. Re: header.jsp - How To?theute Jul 20, 2007 9:09 AM (in response to explorer)
Why don't you try ? You can put your war anywhere.
3. Re: header.jsp - How To?rvkishore Jul 20, 2007 3:04 PM (in response to explorer)
I put the exploded war file for my app in the jboss-portal.sar directory and changed the jboss-service.xml to reflect the changes. Still no luck. The server does not pick up the my header.jsp and tabs.jsp.
4. Re: header.jsp - How To?explorer Jul 20, 2007 5:41 PM (in response to explorer)
I wasn't able to get hands on how to resolve the issue.
So i came up with a solution that i would write header.jsp (custom, that has only the nav and no dashboard, this is what i intended), footer.jsp and then have them include in ever layout jsp's i might get. Can any one adivce a better way than this. But the point is i am not able access the portal's default objects. if ever want to use them. how should i approach...
Also i want to disable the window state buttons for a portlet and even make them not to appear. Any suggestions?
5. Re: header.jsp - How To?rvkishore Jul 20, 2007 5:56 PM (in response to explorer)
To remove the window state buttons you can set the windowrenderer to emptyrenderer.
<window> <window-name>MyPortletWindow</window-name> <instance-ref> MyPortletInstance </instance-ref> <region>center</region> <height>1</height> <properties> <!-- turn the decoration off for this portlet (i.e. no title and mode/state links) --> <property> <name>theme.decorationRendererId</name> <value>emptyRenderer</value> </property> <property> <name>theme.windowRendererId</name> <value>emptyRenderer</value> </property> </properties> </window>
As for the original issue, I tried digging into the source code, The request dispatcher seems to be returning null for the getMarkup() method if the TargetContext is anything other than portal-core.
6. Re: header.jsp - How To?explorer Jul 23, 2007 1:14 PM (in response to explorer)
Hi Kishore,
Thanks for the reply,
Well can you please help me out on something else too.
How do you get to know that in
<property> <name>theme.decorationRendererId</name> <value>emptyRenderer</value> </property>
there is something called as theme.decorationRendererId, Where can we find all the list of these Id things.
7. Re: header.jsp - How To?saigon_man Aug 18, 2007 7:38 PM (in response to explorer)
To display your own header.jsp in the portal (in my case, I use the default portal)
open jboss-portal.sar\META-INF\jboss-service.xml
go down to the line which contains the text "/portal-core"
rename this one to the name of your war file, i.e. /myportal
rename the paths below this line to be the path to your header.jsp and tab.jsp in your portal war
Restart jboss server and poitn to your portal url. It should display your own header.jsp
Hope this help
8. Re: header.jsp - How To?johnnythehun Feb 4, 2008 2:00 PM (in response to explorer)
But what if one of my portals use my custom header or tabs.jsp, while another uses the default one.
Your suggestion would kill the one using the default core files, wouldn't it?

just tried and not only it change tab menu for all portals but the admin portal too !!
We're probalby the only ones that want different menus for different portal....
More seriourly, I cannot even put my own code inside the layout definition because I don't know how to get a PortalNode ref !?!??
I looked at RegionTagHandler until some obscure render method.
PageCustomizerInterceptor doesn't help so much ( ControllerCommand/PageCommand ???)
any suggestion ???
10. Re: header.jsp - How To?viggo.navarsete Apr 30, 2008 7:27 AM (in response to explorer)
any updates on how to change the header and tab? I also want to have my customized header and tab, but don't want to change the defaults.
Not muc information in the reference guide about these challenges.
11. Re: header.jsp - How To?viggo.navarsete Apr 30, 2008 7:54 AM (in response to explorer)
if I create my own theme/layout and bundles it into a separate war file, and if I have the exact path for the header.jsp and tabs.jsp as described here:
<mbean code="org.jboss.portal.core.aspects.controller.PageCustomizerInterceptor" name="portal:service=Interceptor,type=Command,name=PageCustomizer" xmbean-dd="" xmbean-code="org.jboss.portal.jems.as.system.JBossServiceModelMBean"> <xmbean/> <attribute name="TargetContextPath">/portal-core</attribute> <attribute name="HeaderPath">/WEB-INF/jsp/header/header.jsp</attribute> <attribute name="TabsPath">/WEB-INF/jsp/header/tabs.jsp</attribute> <!-- Overrides the value of core.login.namespace in config.xml --> <attribute name="LoginNamespace">dashboard</attribute> <depends optional-attribute-name="Config" proxy-type="attribute">portal:service=ServerConfig</depends> <depends optional-attribute-name="PortalAuthorizationManagerFactory" proxy-type="attribute">portal:service=PortalAuthorizationManagerFactory</depends> </mbean>
would then my own header.jsp and tabs.jsp from my own war file be preferred when rendering my portal?
Or am I forced to change the jboss-portal.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml in order to use my own customized header and tabs?

Pitt is well represented in this year's 20 National Book Award finalists.
Pitt English professor Terrance Hayes was nominated Wednesday for his assortment of linguistic and investigative poems, "How to Be Drawn," published by Penguin Books in March.
Ross Gay, another Pittsburgh poet, was also nominated for his "Catalogue of Unabashed Gratitude," which the University of Pittsburgh Press published in January.
This is Hayes' second nomination for the award, which only one other finalist of the 20 has achieved — Young People's Literature genre author Steve Sheinkin. He won the award in 2010 for his previous poetry collection, "Lighthead." Hayes was also a guest editor for the 2014 edition of the annual "Best American Poetry" series, which collects the best contemporary American poetry of each year.
Speaking about winning The National Book Award for "Lighthead" in a 2010 interview with The Pitt News, Hayes credited his professors for his continued interest and success in writing.
"I remember my three poetry professors: Ed Ochester, Lynn Emanuel and Toi Derricotte," he said. "They were three distinct poets and teachers. Each was encouraging and engaging. I try to be a poet that combines all they taught me about mind, body and spirit."

What's the scariest Halloween costume you can think of? A bloody vampire? Freddy from Nightmare on Elm Street? A clown (for people with coulrophobia, or fear of clowns)?
We at SafeBee laughed at this one for its cleverness, though antibiotic resistance is no joke. Failing to finish a prescription for antibiotics could kill the weakest bacteria — making you feel better for a while — but not the strongest ones, which means you might get sick again — and the drugs may be less effective the next time.
Society-wide, the overuse of antibiotics when they're not needed (including in animals) also contributes to the development of bacteria that can outsmart these drugs.
Related: Do You Really Need That Antibiotic?
Other "scary" costumes we can think of include a bad password ("1245" or "password," for instance), a computer virus, and a space heater with a frayed cord (What are you? A fire hazard).

A few blocks away from Baltimore's lively Inner Harbor stands one of railroading's most iconic buildings: the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Roundhouse, known as the "Birthplace of American Railroading" and now the home of the B&O Railroad Museum. Built in 1884, this historic building celebrates not only the country's first railroad, but also the man who commissioned it: John W. Garrett, seventh president of the B&O from 1858-1884.
A full biography of Garrett was long overdue. After writing a biography of his daughter, Mary Elizabeth Garrett: Society and Philanthropy in the Gilded Age, I thought it was time to turn my attention to Garrett. Father and daughter had a very powerful, complex relationship; they greatly influenced and admired each—the male-oriented, show-no-weakness persona of Gilded Age industrialists—left few personal reflections. He was all business and what we know of him comes from official records and others' observations. But, pieced together, these documents portray a fascinating man, who left an important and great legacy on American railroading, commerce, and the Civil War.
Elected president when the 30-year-old company was teetering on bankruptcy, Garrett rescued the B&O and led it through its most expansive and tumultuous years, including the Civil War. During the four-year conflict, the strategically located B&O became integral to the Union in providing troop and supply movements to critical battles and also served as the main railroad defense and supply line to Washington, D.C. Garrett became a valued confidante to President Lincoln and Secretary of War Edwin Stanton. By the end of the war, the B&O earned the well-deserved status as "Mr. Lincoln's Road" for its important contributions in the Union's victory over the Confederacy.
After the war, Garrett took his place among the first generation of the omnipotent Gilded Age tycoons. His Civil War railroading experience provided good training for the fierce postwar competition with other industrial giants: J. Edgar Thomson and Thomas Scott of the Pennsylvania Railroad, Cornelius Vanderbilt of the New York Central system, Daniel Drew of the Erie Railroad and financiers Jay Gould and James Fisk. When Garrett took over the B&O presidency in 1858, the line extended from Baltimore to two points on the Ohio River. By the time of his death 26 years later, he had extended the reach of the B&O to the important commercial markets of Pittsburgh, Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis, and New York, as well as two rail lines on either side of the Virginia mountains reaching southward to the North Carolina border.
To jumpstart Baltimore's moribund postwar economy, Garrett initiated the successful Bremen to Baltimore steamship line that brought thousands of European immigrants to Baltimore and transported them on B&O trains to points farther west in the growing nation. He transformed the small prewar Locust Point wharf on Baltimore's harbor into a giant transportation hub, where B&O hoppers brought tons of coal from the mountains and ships from around the world unloaded their valuable cargo to be carried on B&O trains across the country.
Garrett envisioned bringing prosperity to the B&O and Maryland beyond railroad and steamship lines. He opened the state's westernmost mountain region to tourism and built opulent hotels where B&O trains could transport tourists from the East Coast and the Midwest. In 1872 the region was named Garrett County in his honor. He supported a range of philanthropic institutions in Baltimore, notably the Peabody Institute, the Baltimore Zoo, orphanages and almshouses. He built Baltimore's YMCA building, the first in the country, and started the B&O Employees Relief Fund, which became the charitable model for railroad employees. He was instrumental in guiding his longtime friend, Baltimore financier Johns Hopkins, in creating a university and a hospital.
Like most Gilded Age industrialists, Garrett lived large. He owned several lavish homes, including a 1500-acre estate, where he raised 150 prize-winning thoroughbred horses and other valuable livestock. Andrew Carnegie noted that Garrett "was one of the few Americans who lived the life of a country gentleman." When Garrett died at age 64 in 1884, newspapers around the country heralded his 26-year railroading tenure. "He was a mastermind," the Philadelphia Press professed. The New York Times concurred, asserting that Garrett was "one of the most prominent men in the financial circles of the country."
Kathleen Waters Sander teaches history at the University of Maryland University College. She is the author of The Business of Charity: The Woman's Exchange Movement, 1832–1900, Mary Elizabeth Garrett: Society and Philanthropy in the Gilded Age, and John W. Garrett and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

About ISCTURKEY
Since the first year, Conference on Information Security and Cryptology has been recognized as the most important event where the country's scientific and industrial activities on these topics are shared, the cooperation between university-public-industry is developed, the public is informed and educated, public awareness of information security is increased and where the information is exchanged between scientists, researchers and sectoral practitioners.
The ISCTurkey 2019 Conference is also supported by the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) and is among the European Cyber Security Month events.
The main theme of the ISCTurkey 2019 Conference has been decided as "Cyber Security and Post-Quantum Cryptology". The increasing use of M2M, Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence, Block Chain Technology and Post-Quantum Cryptology radically changes the quality of both cyber defense and cyber attacks. Within the framework of Post-Quantum Cryptology, new developments and changes in this field, cyber attacks that may take place in the field of Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things and Block Chain Technology and the measures that can be taken against these attacks will be discussed in the conference. In addition, Turkey's cyber security strategy, applications and similar matters as local and national development will be discussed; invited speakers, academic papers and sessions will be organized.
The papers to be submitted to the conference organizing committee by academicians and practitioners will be evaluated by referring to the opinions of at least three referees who are experts in their fields. Taking the referee's reports into consideration, the appropriate papers will be selected for oral presentation or poster presentation and will be published in the proceedings book.
Who Should Attend
Personnel from public institutions and organizations, employees in personal, corporate and national information security, those interested in and interested in improving themselves, cryptology in defense technologies, national security and service providers should attend our conference.
Participation in the conference is open to all interested people and is free of charge. However, registration is mandatory to attend the conference.

The Jakarta Post
Coordinating Maritime Affairs and Investment Minister Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan has ordered joint forces of the military and police to monitor the enforcement of health protocols during the "critical time" over the next two to three months until the country is able to conduct mass vaccination, which is expected to take place in December.
Luhut said it was essential to make sure that the protocols, including wearing masks and maintaining social distancing, were implemented properly.
The minister is among officials tasked by President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo with focusing on handling COVID-19 transmission in several provinces, according to the head of the national COVID-19 economic recovery team, Airlangga Hartarto, as reported by kompas.com.
Luhut went on to say that the country could not limit economic activity "for too long", but leaving citizens to carry out their activities without proper health measures in place could also lead to increasing cases of COVID-19.
Read also: Jokowi forms national team to accelerate vaccine development
"Therefore, we need to strictly monitor the implementation of health protocols. This is actually an art of balancing between COVID-19 handling and conducting economic activities," Luhut said during a teleconference on Friday.
He was confident that the country could control the health crisis well from December onward as it started to vaccinate tens of millions of its citizens.
The government previously announced that Indonesia had secured around 300 million doses of a potential COVID-19 vaccine until the end of next year.
Among the potential suppliers was China's Sinovac Biotech, which had been cooperating with Indonesia's pharmaceutical company Bio Farma in conducting clinical trials of the candidate vaccine in the country.

NEA Comments on CEP Report Tracking Student Achievement Since NCLB
Weaver: Despite No Child Left Behind, educators and states' efforts are making a difference
WASHINGTON - June 24, 2008 -A report released today by the Center on Education Policy examined student achievement data since the enactment of the No Child Left Behind law, noting a positive shift in the achievement gaps and state test scores.
Although the report detected some shifting in reading and mathematics test scores in some states, the authors strongly caution against jumping to any conclusions about the impact NCLB may be having on student test scores because of efforts many states and local school districts had undertaken to improve student achievement prior to NCLB.
The caution noted in the report is in line with a report by the Civil Rights Project at Harvard University in June 2006, which concluded that NCLB did not have a significant impact on improving reading and math achievement across the nation and states, and it had not helped significantly narrow the achievement gap.
The following statement can be attributed to NEA President Reg Weaver:
"The report seems to confirm that despite six years of being saddled with the fundamentally flawed and overly prescriptive federal No Child Left Behind law, educators, school administrators and local school districts are making a difference in increasing student achievement.
"Imagine what would happen to student test scores if educators and local school districts didn't have to teach in the test, label and punish regime established under NCLB. Think for a second about what would happen if the law didn't force educators to view students as standardized test scores.
"The American public is ready for a new era in K-12 education, one that prepares all students for success with 21st century skills and the critical knowledge to succeed in our changing world, and gives educators the freedom to teach every child."

We're in the Community♥ We're on the Radio♥ We're on the News♥
Sharing Two Months of Nonstop Community Heart♥
From Community Gardening, Reuniting Lost Puppies and Receiving I-Heart♥Radio Awards to Celebrating our Veterans, Golfing & Fundraising for the Community♥
And providing Hope for Hurricane Victims,
♥CES is All Heart♥!
CES is a proud sponsor of a local talk radio program called The Talk of the Town on WTAN 1340 am. Each week we have a 15 minute spot where I talk about the awesome community activities that are happening in our town and county.
Recently the host of the show, Pat Luefan, came upon a little dog lost in the rain. He couldn't locate its owner and brought the dog to the station. I couldn't resist, so I picked up that pooch and sat him on my lap during my segment. I was also recording and broadcasting Live on Facebook and reached out to thousands of listeners. Many people shared the post and lo and behold, the owner was found. It was great fun, returning the pooch the next day! This is the power of community interaction and social media at work for instant results!
The Purple Heart is the oldest military decoration, given to those wounded or killed while serving as well as to those who display bravery and valor as prisoners of war and while fighting certain types of domestic terrorists.
Purple Heart Recognition Day is held annually on August 7th for the purpose of thanking soldiers, veterans and recipients of this medal.
My Dad was a recipient of two Purple Heart medals. Knowing the superhero-esque feats of my Dad in the Korean War in two different instances while under heavy artillery fire—saving many lives of those in his regiment, I am deeply moved by this annual event.
This year's banquet event was hosted by CCHR Florida (Citizens Commission on Human Rights) on Saturday, August 5th to commemorate the courage and sacrifice of Purple Heart recipients, and to honor all veterans and active-duty military.
We heard from special guest speakers about some of the key issues facing our veterans and what solutions exist to handle them.
The event was standing room only! Listening to the speakers talk about the extreme veteran's issues which these heroes face when coming back into civilian life was extremely eye-opening.
Understanding the overwhelming over-medicating that is widespread was also quite disturbing. The men and women who so heroically and unselfishly served our country, must be given every kindness and help. And that does NOT include messing them up with overdosing them on mind-altering cocktails of drugs.
CES is happy to support veteran organizations which provide real help and care for our U.S. heroes. And CES is a proud supporter of CCHR Florida.
Consumer Energy Solutions was awarded by iHeartRadio as one of the nation's 2017 TOP 500 Emerging Businesses! And also for being in the top 100 in the Tampa Bay area!
The I-heart team came by during our weekly staff meeting to present us with our award. We had a lot of fun during their presentation visit. In CES style, we surprised them, presenting them with our "Big Dog" trophy to award them for being the BIG DOGS in radio!
Our friends at the MLK Jr. Neighborhood Center really appreciated our help and heart in bringing together the 2nd Annual Freedom Swing Golf Tournament fundraiser.
CES brought our hearts, hands and contribution to partner with a great organization that helps the community. Located in the North Greenwood section of our town, the MLK Center stands as a place for gathering, gardening, clubs and skills workshops.
CES sponsored two teams of employees who played in the golf tournament and even won awards! Others volunteered to create this successful event which raised thousands of dollars for the center. We will always have our hearts in the right places, and the MLK Neighborhood Center is certainly one!
Hurricane season is upon us. Hurricane Harvey crashed into Texas with a huge and devastating impact! Seeing the massive damage and flooding and so many people stranded in shelters, CES hearts came together to form a relief effort which got many citizens of our Tampa Bay community joining in.
Our relief drive brought two trucks worth of supplies to our friends in Houston, Rockport, and Austin to distribute and use for direct aid to the citizens.
The Volunteer Ministers are a group that has seasoned experience helping in relief for many disasters all over the world. Working directly with the Red Cross and other agencies, their reputation for delivering real help is impeccable and we know that if we got our supplies to them, that THEY WOULD get distributed and used.
We also started a YouCaring.com page called Hope for Houston which brought in over $2,000 in donations so that we could instantaneously purchase items such as blow up mattresses and food and vitamins for the volunteers who were working hard in the heat!
We purchased cases of hygiene supplies which were turned into hygiene kits for the shelters and for distribution to homes who were without power and unable to purchase these items due to no businesses open and no electricity.
Our big hearts did not go unnoticed. A wonderful news anchor from ABC Action News named Laura Harris of The Now Tampa Bay show came out to CES and interviewed us as we were finishing up loading a truck of supplies to go to Texas. Please take a moment to watch our news clip as it is inspiring. See the interview here: https://www.facebook.com/TheNowTampaBay/videos/1158853094216008/
Then Hurricane Irma blew into our own backyard!
Our attention was pulled off of Houston and on to Florida and the Virgin Islands.
We lost power in our company for a week, and luckily the main damage experienced here in our community was debris and some minor damage to our homes and property. We came together again and donated cases of supplies for the shelters and for door to door delivery of hygiene kits to harder hit areas of Florida.


text: In a statement released by Prospect Park this afternoon, the company has confirmed that, after five months of negotiations, the launch of OLTL and AMC on TOLN have been shelved. "It is now becoming clear that mounting issues make our ability to meet our deadlines to get OLTL on the air in a reasonable time period following its January 13, 2012 ABC finale impossible," the statement from PP's Rich Frank and Jeffrey Kwatinetz read. "We believe we exhausted all reasonable options apparent to us, but despite enormous personal, as well as financial cost to ourselves, we failed to find a solution…. In our opinion, new models like this can only work with the cooperation of many people striving to make them happen, and we would like to thank and praise the numerous people who tried to help and showed us incredible support. We are extremely grateful to the fans and media who showed great support to us through this process, to ABC who did everything in their control to help, and we are especially grateful for the support and encouragement from many of the Soaps' cast and crew themselves." The release went on to thank the OLTL and AMC actors who did sign on with PP as well as Executive Producer Frank Valentini and OLTL Head Writer Ron Carlivati, adding, "We feel terrible we couldn't come through for them and we were very much looking forward to working together."

The Microsoft team come with RedHat packages version - 7.3 and is an old type of packages.
They show us this old way how to deal with this issue , see this link.
I used this command lines into sudo user:
As you can see the dotnet working well with Fedora 27.
#rpm --import https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc
#sh -c 'echo -e "[packages-microsoft-com-prod]\nname=packages-microsoft-com-prod
\ngpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc" >
#dnf update
#dnf install libunwind libicu compat-openssl10
#dnf install dotnet-sdk-2.0.2
#dotnet new console -o myApp
#cd myApp
#dotnet run
I would have preferred a classic dnf installation for reasons of later incompatibility.
This fact only indicates a tangential interest and a clear reason in microsoft capabilities to cover dotnet's area of interest versus linux distributions.

One week after Election Day, members of Congress return to Washington Tuesday focused on an urgent need to avoid the so-called 'fiscal cliff.'
The Congressional Budget Office has said failure to reach an agreement would push the economy back into recession and drive the nation's unemployment rate to 9.1 percent next year.
North Carolina Congressman David Price says it's time both sides compromise, agreeing to cut the deficit and raise revenue.
He acknowledges the public is tired of the constant gridlock in Washington:
"The American people have really repudiated the politics of shutdown and brinksmanship," said Price in his recent appearance on News and Views.

Every year we have stayed at Seven Feathers RV Park in Canyonville Oregon, on our journey to Arizona, both going South and coming North. Last year we noticed a billboard stating the Rate for the night would be $19.00 Sunday to Thursday. When we arrived at the resort on Sunday, I asked what the rate was…..$39.00 was the answer. I mentioned that we had seen a billboard with different information on it and was told, "Oh you saw the billboard. Well then yes you get that rate" and so we did. This year I got an email advertising that same $19.00 rate on certain days of the week. I will put that information below so that anyone can get to the link and print a coupon to also get the saving.
A Great Reason for a Road Trip!
This is a 5 star RV resort with lots of good amenities: pool, hot tub, full hookup pull thru sites, excellent washrooms / showers, an exceptional shuttle service that will take you to the Casino for dinner or show or some gambling or downtown for groceries, and if you get there in early to mid December, please sample the wonderful hot apple cider offered at check in. We highly recommend this stop.

Mitsui & Co., Ltd. ("Mitsui") announced today that Mitsui and Mitsui Oil Exploration Co., Ltd., ("MOECO") have entered into a definitive agreement with Anadarko Petroleum Corporation ("Anadarko") to participate in the development and production of the Marcellus Shale gas project in the state of Pennsylvania (see attachment). The agreement was signed between Anadarko and Mitsui E&P USA LLC ("MEPUSA"), a subsidiary newly established in the U.S.A. by Mitsui and MOECO. The closing of the transaction is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions and is expected to take place on 15th of March, 2010.
Contractual Coverage
(Actual parties to the agreement are Anadarko E&P Company LP and Kerr-McGee Oil and Gas Onshore LP, both fully owned subsidiaries of Anadarko)
|Acquired Assets
|32.5% of Anadarko's interest in the project leases*
(*Initially equivalent to a 15.5% interest in the entire project lease and approximately 100,000 acres net to MEPUSA)
|MEPUSA will carry USD 1,400 million of Anadarko's future development cost
Summary of the project (Numbers are net to MEPUSA)
|Peak Production
|Between 360MMcfd and 460MMcfd
|Total Project Costs
|Between USD 3.0 and 4.0 billion
|Life of Production
|Approximately 60 years
The partners of this project will be drilling a few thousand wells during a span of over ten years and the total development cost of MEPUSA is estimated to be between USD 3.0 billion and USD 4.0 billion depending on the progress of the project.
Furthermore, MEPUSA have entered into an Area of Mutual Interest with Anadarko located primarily in the state of Pennsylvania to jointly acquire new leases for a period of ten years to further expand its business.
The global demand for natural gas is expected to continue to increase in the future as the need for cleaner energy continues to rise. Although the development of shale gas had been considered to be uneconomical in the past, due to recent technological advances and innovation, low cost development and production has become feasible in recent years mainly in the U.S. The Marcellus Shale, in which Mitsui will be developing, is considered to be one of the most attractive shale gas production areas due to its enormous resource volume, good access to the Northeastern U.S. with a huge market for natural gas, and its competitive development and production cost.
We expect that this project, which is operated by technically and financially capable partners, will become a core business base for Mitsui providing cash flow and profit in the long term. Additionally, we aim to expand our shale gas business into other areas within the U.S. and even others countries leveraging our global network and the knowledge and know how regarding shale gas acquired through this project.
Mitsui has positioned its energy and mineral resources business as a strategically significant business area and will continue to acquire attractive oil and natural gas assets in order to establish a more robust and well-balanced business portfolio.

After completing the assessment, develop a simple action plan to implement or improve specific strategies. Micro-changes that are easily integrated with existing leadership responsibilities can be more effective and sustainable than trying to implement many changes at once. Start with those easy for you and/or those that can have the greatest positive impact.
The actual questions on the assessments for each of the leader and employees are provided for you, to review in advance, below.
Communication & Collaboration
Communication & Collaboration involves the clear exchange of information and transparent discussion of what a worker needs to do their job successfully. This involves collaborative efforts to support each worker's success at work. Learn More
Social Intelligence
Social Intelligence involves acting as a role model and facilitator of psychologically safe interactions between and among all workplace stakeholders, including those who are marginalized or vulnerable. Learn More
Problem Solving & Conflict Management
Problem Solving and Conflict Management involves supporting and requiring consistent, respectful, and effective discussion and resolution of issues. Those who fail to do so are held accountable as needed. Learn More
Security and Safety
Security and Safety involves supporting a safe environment through proactive, prompt and effective responses to any threats to psychological or physical safety. Learn More
Fairness & Integrity
Fairness & Integrity involves leadership which is honest, transparent and consistent, where there is fairness and equity in decision-making, and a humble understanding of personal limitations and biases. Learn More
Identify specific strategies you wish to incorporate in your leadership approach.
Review each of the strategies provided in your assessment results and choose 1-3 strategies to begin working on. You may wish to prioritize based on strategies that:
- You are already aware of and can improve upon
- Are most relevant to reaching your desired outcomes
- Will help you improve or address significant issues
- Have the implicit support and/or authorization from senior leadership if relevant
- Are realistic in terms of time and resources available to you
- Leverage your existing skills and abilities
- Will have the greatest positive impact on the psychological safety of your employees
Discuss with your senior leader(s) for support and permission, as relevant.
- If you need to obtain permission to implement any of the strategies you have identified, seek approval after you have prepared the following summary, which can also be placed into your own Action Workbook:
- The strategies you have selected
- The link to the National Standard of Canada for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace
- Intended benefits/outcomes for your team
- Intended benefits/outcomes for the organization and its goals
- Organizational support or training you may require
- Necessary resources that will be incurred in terms of your time and any other expenses
- Once you have received approval, follow up with an email to confirm your plans and any limitations or restrictions you have been given
- If you need to obtain permission to implement any of the strategies you have identified, seek approval after you have prepared the following summary, which can also be placed into your own Action Workbook:
- If relevant to your strategies, discuss with employees to ensure the intended approach will support their work success.
- Share your intended action plan with your employees. Tell them that you are seeking to add leadership strategies that better support them and ask them:
- How might implementing this strategy benefit you or your co-workers?
- What could be any potential risks or challenges associated with this approach?
- What else would make this even more effective at supporting our success as a team?
- Take a stance of curiosity rather than critical analysis – i.e., ask questions to draw out more complete answers but resist offering your own opinion or criticism of what they are offering. Remember that there is often a perceived risk in speaking out to your leader about what they could/should do differently and it is important to create a sense of safety if you wish to engage in open dialogue. This is an essential element of being a psychologically safe leader. You can critically analyze the answers with a trusted advisor or peer after the conversation is over.
- If you encounter cynicism, skepticism, or negativity from your employees think about what might be underlying these attitudes. It could be:
- A workplace incident that colours perception – e.g., poor labour relations, merger, etc.
- Changes in team dynamic
- Current conflict
- Current changes that are difficult for employees
- Personal health issues that cloud judgment or observations
- A previous leader who was not psychologically safe
- Work overload
- Lack of clarity about demands leading to fear or anxiety about job retention
- For more help check out with team discussions check out:
- Facilitating Team Discussions - strategies that may be helpful to engage team members in productive conversations while managing negative or problematic responses.
- On the Agenda - a series of videos, presentation slides and supporting materials that can help trainers, team leaders, managers or others to pave the way for discussions and action aimed at developing a psychologically healthy and safe workplace.
- Team Building Activities - developed by experts, these can help build resilience and emotional intelligence by improving the ability of leaders and team members to respond effectively to workplace stressors, resolve issues, and support each other through challenging times.
- Share your intended action plan with your employees. Tell them that you are seeking to add leadership strategies that better support them and ask them:
- Create an action plan that is realistic and attainable.
- The Action Planning Workbook can help you.
- Access resources to assist in executing the action plan.
- Click on the icons below for the domain(s) that include the strategies you wish to implement. From the dropdown menu, choose the relevant strategy/statement. You will be directed to information or given a link to a free resource that can help you with developing your action plan.
- Monitor outcomes and reassess annually for continual improvement.
- Using your Action Planning Workbook, track the outcomes from implementation of these strategies.
- Make modifications or changes as necessary to improve outcomes.
- Once the selected strategies become part of your regular leadership approach, an updated assessment can identify additional positive strategies to be considered.

The Elixir Clinic reveals a secret that flows through the veins of rich and famous.
Three years ago I was trying to get some beauty secrets from my forever young and pretty friend. "I regularly go for IV Vitamin therapy", – replied twice-mom and an Instagram model. Nowadays such treatments have turned from a gimmick into a trend: in many leading clinics all over the world offer the intravenous therapy as a suggestion for overwork, stress, reduced immunity, jetlag, aging of the skin and many more.
Sometimes from all the range of clinics it's hard to do a right and safe choice. We stopped our attention on The Elixir Clinic that has grown successfully since launching in 2013, with locations in London, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, including partnerships with Harrods Wellness Clinic and The Ned. It has a good reputation and a well-established team of high qualified specialists who can offer an extensive selection of treatments ranging from IV vitamin infusions, also known as a VitaDrip®, to other wellness treatments consisting of rejuvenation and diagnostic therapy, all tailored to specific needs. The Elixir Clinic treatments are the most effective, natural, safe and essential method to support a healthy lifestyle. It is one of the world's most experienced IV therapy clinics performing over 1000 treatments monthly with a portfolio of high-profile clients such as celebrities, athletes, business leaders, royal families, socialites and international influencers.
We met with one of the leading doctors of The Elixir Clinic to reveal a secret that flows through the veins of rich and famous, and to answer the most worrying questions.
1) Some experts insist that taking intravenous therapy with vitamins does not bring any health benefits, and sometimes can be even dangerous. For example, the excess of magnesium and potassium in certain categories of individuals can cause a heart attack. What would you reply to that?
Most of our VitaDrip infusions are water soluble vitamins; no known risk of overdosing with water soluble vitamins. The human body consumes the required vitamins from administered VitaDrip infusion and any non-absorbed vitamins would get excreted out of the body with the normal urination process. As for fat soluble vitamins and minerals present in some of our vitamin infusions, a preliminary blood test is performed to ensure the right dosage is administered as per each patients' requirement.
2) What kind of analysis would you recommend to take before doing the IV Vitamin therapy?
A consultation takes place with every new client in order for us to review the medical history and also discuss any concerns. Some clients present their vitamin profile test results or medical reports that they have done recently for review by our general practitioner during their consultation. The Elixir Clinic offers diagnostic testing such as vitamin profile tests, allergy tests, and mineral tissue and heavy metal analysis; choosing the type of investigation depends on each patient's consultation.
3) Is there any kind of infusion in your clinic that you can do without any blood test analysis?
All infusions can be offered to clients without a blood test but only once full medical consultation has been done with the general practitioner to adjust the doses of each ingredient.
4) What is a VitaDrip® ?
A VitaDrip® is an intravenous vitamin infusion consisting of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that is infused directly into the bloodstream to help rejuvenate the client while sustaining long-term wellbeing.
5) What kind of quality and high standard certificates does The Elixir Clinic have? And how safe is IV therapy in your clinic?
All infusions are administered under authorisation of a prescribing physician after a full health assessment. All protocols have been thoroughly researched and developed by leading medical specialists. We use the most advanced techniques, and source specialised nurses to provide the best quality of care available. The Elixir Clinic is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) who inspect our practises against their robust standard structure and National Minimum Standards in the UK; and in the UAE with Dubai Health Authority (DHA), and Health Authority of Abu Dhabi (HAAD). So you can be sure you are in a safe hands.
6) Are you planning to introduce any other treatments? For example, IV cocktails with organic preparations or human placental hydrolyzate?
At The Elixir Clinic, we are always researching the latest technologies and creating new formulas that provide clients with maximum wellness benefits. We have recently introduced new formulas that will be launched soon in The Elixir Clinic in London. We are currently not offering anything with human placental hydrolyzate.
7) Tell us a bit about your latest novelty – facial treatments? Why would you recommend to try it in your clinic?
The Elixir Clinic believes in creating beauty inside out and our rejuvenation therapies allows us to achieve that. We offer an extensive selection of treatments such as our Elixir Signature Facial and HydraFacial.
The Hydrafacial is a 3-step process that will leave you with the best skin of your life; addressing all skincare needs. The multi-step treatment will cleanse, exfoliate, and extract to get rid of impurities and dead skin cells while at the same time quenching skin with vital nutrients like antioxidants, peptides,, and hyaluronic acid. Clients can customise their HydraFacial by selecting complimenting add-ons such as Lymphatic massage, LED hyaluronic mask, and super serums that boost the skin, minimise the signs of ageing, and rejuvenate the skin.
8) What kind of other treatments would you recommend to clients who live on high speeds?
The Elixir Clinic offers tailor-made treatments that address all concerns or needs of each unique client. Whether you are looking for an energy boost, beauty glow or need to combat jet lag and strengthen your immune system; we have the most effective, natural, and essential solutions.

Irving Klotz received his bachelor of science degree in 1937 and his Ph.D. in 1940, both from the University of Chicago. He joined the Northwestern faculty in 1940, was awarded tenure in 1947, and retired in 1986. He passed away on April 27, 2005.
Irving Klotz was a noted expert in chemical thermodynamics and the mechanisms by which small molecules, like drugs, bind to their targets. The fundamental scientific principles and techniques developed by Klotz provided the foundation for current "rational drug design" methods used by pharmceutical researchers worldwide.
In addition to more than 200 scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals, Mr. Klotz was the author of numerous books including "Ligand-Receptor Energetics: A Guide for the Perplexed" and co-author, with Robert M. Rosenberg, of "Chemical Thermodynamics: Basic Theory and Methods." He also wrote on topics of more general scientific interest. One of his notable books in this area is "Diamond Dealers and Feather Merchants: Tales from the Sciences."
Klotz's many honors include membership in American Academy of Arts & Sciences in 1968 and the National Academy of Sciences in 1970. He was named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine in 1971.
