Phase 2 Carb Blocker is for weight management and is one of the fat loss supplements formulated by WhatSupp Nutrition. It contains the clinically studied ingredient, white kidney bean extract, and it claims to help people lose weight by blocking the body from digesting a portion of ingested carbs.
Phase 2 Carb Blocker Ingredients
At the writing of this Phase 2 Carb Blocker review, each serving size (3 veggie capsules) was composed of a single active ingredient: Phase 2 Starch Neutralizer (White Kidney Bean Extract), of which there is 1.5 grams (1,500 mg) per serving.
The suggested use is to take one serving before any meal containing complex carbohydrates or starches, or as directed by a health care professional.
A Closer Look at White Kidney Bean Extract
Phase 2 Carb Blocker's single active ingredient is white kidney bean extract, also known as phaseolus vulgaris.
The common belief is that this herb is a carb blocker, a compound that affects the digestive process and results in the absorption of less dietary carbohydrate.
More specifically, white kidney bean extract is thought to function as a type of alpha-amylase inhibitor. Amylase is a digestive enzyme that is in charge of digesting starch. By blocking this enzyme, it prevents it from digesting starchy carbohydrates, which means that these carbs are not broken down into glucose and are eliminated as waste by the body.
That being said, even if white kidney bean does have this effect, carb blockers only block complex carbohydrates. These include grains, vegetables and legumes. Carb blockers have zero effect on simple sugars because they do not need amylase to be digested. This means that they are ineffective on sugars found in fruit, milk, natural sweeteners, cakes, candy, etc.
While Phase 2 Carb Blocker is correct in that it does contain a clinically studied ingredient, this ingredient has never been proven to lead to positive weight changes. More research needs to be conducted to know just how safe this herb is and how – or even if – it can benefit weight loss.
Potential Carb Blocker Side Effects
As for side effects, for the most part, white kidney bean is typically safe when taken as an oral supplement for the short term.
Of course, this doesn't mean that adverse effects aren't possible. The most common side effects associated with the active ingredient in Phase 2 Carb Blocker include (but are not necessarily limited to:
- Stomach upset
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Vomiting
Additionally, it is important to note that it may lower blood sugar. Therefore, if you are pre-diabetic or a diabetic, this may not be the right product for you to take. The reason is that taking products with white kidney bean alongside diabetic medications may cause your blood sugar to become too low. This is also true if you are pregnant or nursing.
Consult with Your Healthcare Provider Before Use
It is in your best interest to play it safe and talk to your healthcare provider before taking Phase 2 Carb Blocker. This is particularly important if you have a known medical condition, are currently taking medications (prescription or non-prescription), herbal supplements, or are pregnant, nursing or are planning to become pregnant. Never make the assumption that taking a herbal supplement for short- or long-term use for weight loss or for any other health reasons is safe or the most effective option for you.
Update: An official product page could not be found for Phase 2 Carb Blocker in September 2019. Moreover, this diet pill could not be purchased on Amazon. The sales page for it still existed but Amazon has it listed as "Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock." This is a good indication that this product doesn't exist anymore.


text: STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) -- Penn State University officials on Thursday said they will donate 1.5 million in bowl proceeds to a pair of sex-crime advocacy organizations in the wake of shocking sex-abuse allegations levied against a once-revered assistant football coach. University President Rod Erickson promised the donation the morning after he and other administrators faced pointed questions at a student-organized town hall forum. Erickson told The Associated Press in an interview Thursday that the Big Ten bowl revenue, which usually goes back to the athletic department, will go instead to the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape and the National Sexual Violence Resource Center. "This presents an excellent opportunity for Penn State to raise the national visibility of this issue," Erickson said. "Our students and fans are focused on a cause to play for, to cheer for." Also Thursday, Jerry Sandusky's lawyer said he has not discussed pleading guilty with his client and that the former coach continues to maintain he is innocent of the charges against him. Joe Amendola said he would consider "possible alternatives" with Sandusky if new charges are filed that involve more victims than the eight boys covered by the 40 pending criminal counts, but that Sandusky has never considered a plea in his case. Sandusky, 67, is awaiting a preliminary hearing. Amendola said the topic of a guilty plea came up as a "what-if" question from a reporter about potential additional charges. "My answer to the what if' question was analogous to saying, if weather forecasters were predicting a blizzard next week, which they are not, I would have to at least consider the possibility of postponing my scheduled trip to Philadelphia," Amendola said in an email. The Wednesday night forum on Penn State's main campus came on the heels of fresh sex abuse allegations against Sandusky, who was accused in a lawsuit of sexually abusing a young boy more than 100 times after meeting him through the charity the coach founded in the 1970s. The state police commissioner has criticized school leaders for failing to do more to alert authorities to the allegations, and Erickson told about 450 attendees at a crowded auditorium at the student union building that ethics would be raised "to a new level so that everyone at the university understands not just the legal thing to do, but the moral thing to do, so that we learn to do the right thing the first time, every time." Students appeared grateful to get answers more than three weeks after Sandusky was charged Nov. 5, hopeful it would aid in the arduous healing process. "I think this is a good start for a lot of good things that can happen at the university," said student Andrew Comes, 21, following the two-hour forum. "It's a singularly bad event, but there can still be positive repercussions and good things happening from it." Administrators sought to reassure students worried about the unintended ramifications of the scandal, such as the reputation of a Penn State degree. After several questioners mentioned they felt shamed by the scandal, vice president Henry Foley, as part of an answer about the school's top three priorities, told students to focus on academics and to "recognize that none of you are guilty. ... You may feel shame, but none of you are guilty. Just keep doing what you came here to do." The scandal has resulted in the departures of head coach Joe Paterno and university President Graham Spanier. Athletic Director Tim Curley has been placed on administrative leave, and Vice President Gary Schultz, who was in charge of the university's police department, has stepped down. Schultz and Curley are charged with lying to the grand jury and failure to report to police. They also maintain their innocence and have a preliminary hearing later this month. Erickson told reporters after the forum that Spanier was currently on sabbatical, and that as a tenured faculty member would have the right to teach if he so desired. Several students also asked about the treatment of Paterno, who was the only school leader fired in the scandal's aftermath. Erickson said afterward he could not offer a detailed answer because it was the trustees' decision. He reiterated there was no truth to Internet-fueled rumors that Paterno's statue outside Beaver Stadium would be removed, or that the Paterno name would be removed from the campus library for which the Paterno family has donated millions. "At some appropriate time down the road, I'm sure there will be an opportunity to also reflect on the many years of service Joe and (wife Sue Paterno) provided the university and the many good things that they've done for Penn State," Erickson said, eliciting brief applause.

Standard Mining Training for Provincial Mining Inspectors in Kabul
Mohammad Fazil, a participant from the province of Bamiyan commented, 'This training was unique for my career. I learned how to use MoMP standards and inspection procedures. This newly acquired knowledge will support me to do my job correctly and efficiently.'
The training covered many topics, ranging from open pit and underground mining processes to health and safety, mining law, environmental aspects, survey techniques and the role of gender in the mining sector. The mining inspectors applied their newly acquired skills at quarries where construction stones are extracted and at the MoMP's underground mining model in Kabul.
On average, the participants are responsible for four mines each in their respective provinces. Afghanistan is rich in mineral resources, including copper, iron, gold, lithium, rare earth and cobalt. These resources offer great potential to increase economic growth, generate additional revenue and create about 10,000 to 14,000 additional jobs in the extractive sector, according to the World Bank Altai Study 2012. However, to exploit this potential efficiently, mining activities have to be well managed, regulated and transparent.
This was the first cycle of the programme. The next seven cycles will be conducted in seven other zones across Afghanistan until April 2020, covering the whole country. MinGov implemented a similar programme from 2017 to 2018. More than 150 mining inspectors, including women, benefited.
The programme Promoting Good Governance in the Extractive Sector in Afghanistan is implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the German Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The Afghan mining sector offers great economic potential that could significantly boost growth in the country. To leverage this potential, the programme aims at increasing state revenues, promoting investment and fighting corruption in Afghanistan's extractive sector. Among other activities, the project has organised 25 short term training courses on topics such as mine planning, mining economics, mining supervision and management and administrative as well long term educational program (i.e. bachelor and master programs) for more than 500 mining inspectors and other employees at the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum (MoMP) and provincial authorities since 2013. Further, the project supports the Afghan Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (AEITI) to promote transparency and fight corruption.

In this video I introduce a topic that is widely ignored: tread squirm. But that's OK. I tell you all about it, why it should be avoided, and how we can negate it's occurrence to maximize our tire's potential.
Tread Squirm – Video Transcript
Hey everybody Matt Covert here again from howtobecomearacecardriver.com and I'm back here with another video. Another free video. And OK, we just need to take a second to talk about something that is vastly, vastly ignored in the tire management portion of racecar driving. And that is the topic of tread squirm. I like saying that – tread squirm. Let's hop right on in. I'm going to explain exactly what this is and what we can do about it. Alright?
So I'm just going to draw the bottom of a tire. We'll just say that's like the – looking at it from the side. So this is where is connect the ground, across. Alright? Now I'm going to make a crude drawing – let me start – let me change that, there we go. Alright. So I'm going to draw some theoretical tread blocks. Let's say that these are the sections of raised rubber on the tread section of a tire. Alright. That looks more like buck teeth than it does actual tire treads. But that's OK you'll get the idea, alright?
So tread squirm is when we load a vertical force onto a tire, alright? And this is what tread blocks look like when they're either going in a straight line or when they're static. Alright? Let me just do this, OK. So let's add a force this way, OK? Tread squirm is under a lateral force and it causes tread blocks to kind of bend over like this. OK? If that makes any sense at all. Yeah those ones look a little better. Yeah, there we go.
So you get the general idea, OK? Your tread blocks have kind of bent over to the side because of a force that is acting on them. And this is no good and there are a couple reasons why, OK? Number one is effects the contact patch. Whoops. And I know we've talked several times about contact patch. And that's really the goal of racecar suspension and tire choice, is maximizing this contact patch. You want the bottom of your tire to be completely touching the ground all the time. Alright?
And when you get this kind of – this is very exaggerated and of course this is just an example – but when you get into a situation like this the contact patch gets messed up. It kind of lifts up one side. You can kind of see the angle there. The side of the tread and you're kind of using this section of it and it's just not optimal, alright?
And let me just move on to the next one real quick. This is kind of a stability issue. Alright? And I think as a general rule I'm going to go ahead and say if anything is just kind of flopping around in your racecar it needs to be fixed. And this is definitely not a good situation to be in, like we said earlier.
Here's the big one. OK? A heat factor. We've talked a lot about keeping tires within their optimal temperature ranges, OK? All of this bending rubber – you know what happens when you bend something a ton of times OK? It creates heat because all the molecules inside are rubbing against each other and that's a problem when you're trying to keep your tires inside an optimal temperature range. Excessive tread squirm is going to overheat your tires. OK? And this is no good because this will cause your – not only – this will cause your tires not only to be outside of their temperature range but it will also heat cycle your tires out.
OK? So you're going to wear out your tires. The hotter your tires are the easier they deteriorate and the more useless they become. Every time you put a heat cycle through a tire it becomes a little less effective. It effectively starts hardening up the tire. Alright? And that's no good.
So let's talk about what we can do about this. I know a lot of autocross tires – we'll make another example. Let me back up a sentence I'm going to change that, OK? The easiest way to change tread block squirm – OK so like I said you have a block that is bent over like that – the easiest way to fix this is to have shorter tread blocks. OK? When your tread blocks are shorter or shallower there's just less mechanical advantage for them to bend over under a lateral force.
OK so a shorter block is going to alleviate a lot of the heat problems that you have. It'll be more stable, your contact patch will be more normal and this is the best way to fix it. OK? A lot of autocross tires are manufactured with short tread blocks. Some of them – I know the Direzzas are nine thirty seconds tread, most of them. And some of seven thirty seconds. They're already pretty short, OK? But there is a lost art that can make this even better. And a lot of autocross guys don't even do it. And it's called tread shaving.
So what you're doing is – if you have a set of tires that comes out of the factory with tall tread blocks, OK? You're actually shaving them down so they come out like this, OK? And I know it's counter intuitive but if you shave a tire's treads you're actually extending it's life. Even though you're taking off a lot of rubber off the tires you can actually extend that tire's life because it will heat up less, deteriorate less, and the cooler you keep a tire the less intense the heat cycles are and that's definitely a good thing, OK?
And especially in autocross when you're using – and this applies mostly to like the Street categories or whatever – you can't go anything softer than a two hundred UTQC tread rating. Which is just a rating of how soft a tire is. OK? So when you're using a tire compound of this nature your tires are probably going to heat cycle out before they wear out. So even though you're taking all this extra rubber off it's not going to wear out your tires prematurely. It will actually help extend their life through the season, which is great.
And the other thing that people don't think about, about shaving tires is you're saving a ton of weight. Let's say you take almost a quarter inch of off your tread blocks all the way around the tire and then you do it four times. One for each tire. You're going to save several pounds of weight. And that is all kinds of rotating mass and inertia and outboard weight and polar moment and all that weird stuff OK?
So I think that pretty much wraps up tread block squirm. It can be fixed through shaving like I said. And something that most people are not aware of and they should be and that's all there is to it, alright?
If you haven't subscribed to this YouTube channel yet I would love it if you would you'll never miss another cool technical video like this. I'll put a link somewhere right up there. Something like that, OK? And I'll be back with another free video from howtobecomearacecardriver.com

Lianne La Havas video "frenzy"
I'll keep this short as I'm about to head off to the Brits, where Lianne La Havas has a stunning zero nominations. Not that she doesn't deserve them - her debut album, Is Your Love Big Enough, was one of last year's best. Produced by Matt Hales (aka Aqualung) it was a quirky, plush, sonically adventurous record, bound together by La Havas' stunning vocals, recorded up close with precious little processing.
In other years, she would almost certainly have been a contender for Best British Female - but the 22-year-old simply couldn't compete with the commercial clout of Emeli Sande or the tear-stained nostalgia for Amy Winehouse. But Ms La Havas doesn't need the Brits. And, in an Adele-style finger salute to the voting academy, she's uploaded two new videos on the day of the awards.
So, here we have the piano-led confessional Gone, and the beautiful Scott Matthews cover Elusive. Enjoy, then remember what you could have been watching when Ben Howard pops up on your telly tonight.

Mary Rambin Cheerfully Admits to Restylane
"It never occurred to me that at the ripe old age of 26 that I would need a 'filler,' but apparently I did," blogs Mary Rambin, the handbag-designing beta chimp to the blogging-retired Star talking head Julia Allison's alpha. You might remember Mary as the older sister of Leven, the jailbait soap actress who a.) stole Julia's last boyfriend, and b.) is currently dating Mens' Vogue's Hud Morgan, who recently got slapped by the NYO's Spencer Morgan at the Beatrice. Now Mary is seeing Julia's dermatologist, who has convinced her to plump up her lips (or possibly her nonexistent wrinkles, we're not sure yet) with injections at the tender age of 26! (Video coming soon; we're waiting with bated breath.) Honey, that's not the thing that ladies are supposed to admit to! You're supposed to take a "nice vacation to Florida" for facelifts, or a "long lunch meeting" for chemical peels. Also? Rambin outed Allison as having hair extensions. (Guess that wasn't actually a secret; we knew there was something a little too shiny about that girl's weave!)

Deal Management
Raise Deal Quality and Streamline Selling
Apttus Deal Management incents sales teams to offer the optimum deal for the company by fast-tracking deals that meet the targeted mix of products, services discounts and commitments desired by the company – boosting revenue, shortening sales cycles and lowering risk.
Deal Management allows companies to define deal parameters – including discount level, product status, customer history and operational constraints – that should be considered in the deal review process to maximize company objectives like margins, profits, revenue and market share. For sales reps, visual indicators help them easily see how a proposed deal ranks against these parameters, what recommendations would improve the deal, and who would need to approve their deals. Adding recommended products or changing discount levels can change deal ratings and automatically bypass cumbersome approval processes if the deal has already been pre-determined as an optimal deal. By showing sales reps the path to optimal deals, Deal Management increases revenue and margins for the entire company.
Key Deal Management Capabilities
- View Deal Ratings:
Instantly see how deals rate against company goals
- Price Waterfalls:
Gain insight with real-time metrics
- Visibility:
See who needs to approve deals based on deal parameters
- Conduct What-If Scenarios:
Learn how changing deal parameters will impact ratings and approvals
- Define Multiple Criteria:
Calculate preference levels for deals
- Compatibility:
Integrate with third-party scoring engines

Medical Malpractice Attorney
in Marietta
Injured by a Negligent Healthcare Professional?
Do you live in Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, or Woodstock, or one of the surrounding areas and have you recently been injured by a doctor or other medical professional? If so, we urge you to contact a personal injury attorney from Jones & Swanson.
Medical Malpractice Basics
What is medical malpractice? Essentially, if a doctor fails to competently perform his or her medical duties and a patient is harmed as a result, then it is considered medical malpractice. Patients should not have to suffer because of their medical professional's negligence or recklessness.
Medical malpractice can be committed by a number of healthcare professionals, including:
- Nurses
- Surgeons
- Oncologists
- Oncologists
- Podiatrists
- Dentists (dental malpractice)
- Anesthesiologists
- Chiropractors
- Other specialists
Common types of medical malpractice:
- Surgical Errors
- Birth Injuries
- Anesthesia Errors
- Object Left Behind (after surgery)
- Wrong Site Surgery
- Failure to Diagnose
- Wrong Diagnosis
To show that you have a medical malpractice claim, you will need to prove:
- A patient/doctor relationship existed
- The doctor was negligent
- The doctor was directly responsible for your injury
- That the injury resulted in specific damages (losses)
Even though doctors make mistakes, these errors don't always lead to damages. For example, suppose a woman was in labor at the hospital but her doctor was nowhere to be found. Even though the nurse told her "not to push" for over an hour when the baby was ready, the mother and baby were fine.
In this case, the baby could have been injured, but she wasn't. While the doctor (or hospital) was negligent by not ensuring an obstetrician was in labor and delivery to deliver when the mother was ready, fortunately, no one was injured (this time). If the baby's heartbeat decelerated to dangerous levels or if oxygen was cut off due to a knotted umbilical cord, this could have been an emergency situation but it didn't reach that point.
In your situation, was the doctor negligent? Were you injured as a direct result of that negligence? Were there actual damages? For example, did you have to have another surgery to fix the mistake, or did you lose a month of work because of your injury, or did a disease progress because the doctor refused to take the necessary tests? In these scenarios, someone could have a valid medical malpractice claim.
If it can be proven that a doctor performed below the expected standards of practice in his or her field and that the patient suffered harm as a result, the patient can sue for: physical pain, mental anguish, medical bills, lost income and loss of earning capacity.
Every state has a deadline for which someone can file a medical malpractice lawsuit, this is called the "statute of limitations." In Georgia, you must start a lawsuit within two years of the injury or death, or within five years if you did not discover the injury until later after the fact.
There are exceptions to the deadline for fraudulent concealment of malpractice, for malpractice occurring before the plaintiff was five years old, and for mentally disabled plaintiffs.
Georgia previously had damage caps that limited a medical malpractice plaintiff's total recovery of non-economic damages, but those caps were ruled unconstitutional by the Georgia Supreme Court in 2010 and are no longer effective, however, the punitive damage caps are limited to $250,000 in most cases.

For weeks we've all known who Bruce Arena picked for his 23-man roster to suit up for the United States. Now, in what may be the ultimate fool's errand, I list here who would be my all-purpose starting XI. I say all-purpose because it's not tuned and adjusted for each of the opponents.
At forward, Brian McBride I think is a unanimous starter under any circumstance, against any opponent. I'd go with Landon Donovan as his partner, though Donovan would end up dropping back a bit to allow McBride his just role as the target man. Landon is also an automatic starter, but there could be some question about whether to insert him as a forward or a midfielder.
In midfield, Claudio Reyna is the conductor, and should run the show. He is complete class as a player, and we can only hope he makes it to June healthy. I'd probably put Pablo Mastroeni in the middle with him at mid, put DaMarcus Beasley out on the right side. On the left, I'd hope for a healthy John O'Brien, who's an immensely talented player, and a key in the Americans' success in Korea. I'm really worried about his health, though, and we may have to go with Bobby Convey instead. I actually like Convey as a player, but I've got a preference for a healthy O'Brien.
In the defense, I like Oguchi Onyewu in the middle as an intimidating force. At least 25 pounds heavier than just about every other USA field player, he has proven to be an enforcer for the team. However, I'm a little worried about how error-free he'll play, so I'd like an experienced, composed back in the middle with him, so that means Eddie Pope. On the right side, I'll go with Steve Cherundolo. And on the left, with some hesitation, I put Eddie Lewis. I've always had a problem with Lewis' tendency to send four crosses from the left side horribly awry, followed by one brilliant one that keeps him playing on the team. However, he's quick and definitely a left-sider, so he's the choice; otherwise, maybe Cory Gibbs would go there.
Goalie: you're kidding, right? That's Keller all the way. I've always really liked Kasey Keller, even over Friedel back in the day.
But the reason it is a little crazy to speculate on these lineups is that Bruce Arena knows a lot more about his players' attitudes, health, and performance in the training camp they just finished in North Carolina. And he's proven he'll do some surprising things to handle the specific opponent du jour. Remember Reyna at right back against Mexico in 2002? I'm very curious to see if Arena surprises us with Eddie Johnson.
We'll only know when we get to Germany, and I suspect the lineups Arena fields in the upcoming friendlies this week won't give away his hand. However, it'll be interesting to see how the guys perform, starting with the Morocco game on Tuesday.

About The Hotel
Ballycotton is a completely unspoiled Fishing Village in East Cork dating back to 1250 AD. Not only is it completely unspoiled but it is also largely undiscovered save by those in the know, for people tend to dash on further west to the more overblown high profile villages. Once you turn down at Castlemartyr you whirl around the back roads amongst high hedges and fertile fields which are eons away from the modern world - and yet so near. Ballycotton is an ideal base for visiting Cork, if you prefer to stay out of a City, or for taking a leisurely tour of Stephen Pearces Pottery and for visiting Ballymaloe, Cobh and the Jameson Irish Whiskey Centre at Midleton, after which you might need to be careful on the Ballycotton Cliff Walk! The Bayview Hotel in my eyes is just perfectly designed, for all the rooms have magnificent sea views. As you look out it feels more like a "visual tour" because you are just over the sheer drop onto the rocks, gazing out into infinity, broken only by the old world little quaint Ballycotton Harbour..... Food is fab think prawns the size of your thumb, silky foie gras, fillet of turbot with chargrilled fennel, saffron mash, olive oil and lemon dress… There are six golf courses within 30 minutes drive, as well as some of the best sea angling in Europe. Stephen Belton provides a 5 star service at the 4 Star Bayview. The Bayview Hotel is a place for cognoscenti Go and discover it for yourself.

The Canberra Cultural Trip is centred on citizenship. This week long programme in the Nation`s Capital, offers a unique opportunity for our Year 6 and Year 7 students to observe first hand Australia's parliament system and to engage in our cultural heritage. Through our national institutions students can experience excellent programmes and exhibitions that explore Australia's democracy, values, unity and achievements as a nation. Students visit old and new Parliament House, Australian War Memorial, Australian Institute of Sport, Australian Electoral Commission and Questacon. The Canberra Cultural Trip happens every second year.
At Tyndale Christian School we offer a variety of ways for Senior School students to gain an appreciation of cultural differences and begin to understand the responsibility we have to those less fortunate than ourselves. The countries that our teams travel to are Kenya and Sri Lanka.
Each group spends time visiting significant attractions of these nations. However the main intention of our mission trips is to discover the realities of life in these developing lands, while making a difference one trip at a time. The teams undertake capital works projects and contribute financially to support the orphanages that the School is committed to.
The members who have travelled on any of these trips have been greatly impacted by this experience and inspired by the difference that one trip can make to the people of these countries.
Our students are invited in alternate years to embark on a week-long trekking adventure along the historical Kokoda Trail. The students walk the trail where Australian and Japanese troops battled in WWII.
We join with our sister schools; Thomas Hassle College and Nambour Christian School to complete the trek. Together as a team, we experience the highs, lows, physical and mental pressures followed by the accomplishment of the 100km mountainous trek. It is an achievement to complete this trek, and those who participate will see a growth in confidence and determination.

My "Journey" with life, Multiple Sclerosis & Fibromyalgia
MS Brain clipart
What is Multiple Sclerosis?
"Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease that affects an estimated 2.3 million people around the world, for which there is currently no cure.3,4 MS occurs when the immune system abnormally attacks the insulation and support around nerve cells (myelin sheath) in the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves, causing inflammation and consequent damage. Damage to these nerves can cause a wide range of symptoms, including muscle weakness, fatigue and difficulty seeing, and may eventually lead to progressive disability."

An introduction to my book and me (via press release)
Since this was the very first hub I did when I started writing my book, I have decided to put my press release here. The other hubs I have here are parts I wrote for other chapters. -yvonne
"While finishing her degree in Gerontology at Umass Boston, Yvonne Decelis started working on writing about her life in the hope of showing others with similar conditions that they are not alone in the trials they face. In this book, she goes over what life has been like living with Multiple Sclerosis & Fibromyalgia. She does this by going over her upbringing and life prior to, during and after diagnosis. She also covers things like medications, "healthful living", work, SSDI disability benefits, friendships and relationships, etc.
Yvonne also wrote this for people seeking information on how to interact with others who have "invisible illnesses" like MS, Fibro, Post-traumatic Stress injury, etc.
From Yvonne: My interest in the field of aging and disability is almost lifelong. I have always felt that we do not always treat older adults and/or members of the "disabled community" with the respect and kindness they deserve and I am hoping to help change that."
My Multiple Sclerosis (and Fibromyalgia) "Journey"
I was diagnosed with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in December of 1994. While I thought this news was devastating, I was relieved to find out things weren't much worse. In February of 1993, I went to the Hospital for what I thought was an odd bout of pink eye. I realized how wrong I was when the doctor looked at me and then went to get five or six of his "colleagues". They all looked at me and spoke as if I wasn't there (in third person). My symptoms were that, whenever I looked at something diagonally, my vision would double and get blurry. I also found out my pupils were two different sizes from hearing the doctors discuss me (I felt like a lab rat. They may has well referred to me as an "it" - that's how they made me feel.)
Eventually, I was informed (very "matter-of-factly") that I might have a brain tumor and that there were no MRI machines available. I had to go in the following day. To "ease the news" for me I was told that I had "classic stroke symptoms" and that I was fortunate they weren't testing me for that. He said those tests were far more intrusive and/or harmful.
The ride home on the subway from this appointment was awful; it was impossible not to cry in public. A man to my left asked if I needed help and I shook my head no. He then loudly said to the girl with him that "it's OBVIOUS there's a problem. She's sitting there crying." At the following stop I jumped out to get into another car but on the way out I yelled at him. I said "I got on the Train at a Hospital stop. Put 2 and 2 together you idiot!"
My first MRI was a horrifying experience. I've come a long way from that (I fall asleep during the scans now!) I wound up having to come out for a bit from the extremely closed-in sensation. The results came in about 3 days after I had the scan. I was told I might have Multiple Sclerosis (MS) or Lupus but the doctors weren't certain. I managed to put the entire ordeal completely out of my mind for about a year following.
Now I'm going to fast forward a bit in the interest of not wanting to make your eyes bleed. I appreciate you taking the time to read this so I will refrain from babbling as much as I can. In an effort to be succinct, I will be skipping many details but I will fill them in as I'm able. Please bear with me.
In December of 1994, I had a new problem that I couldn't figure out how to explain to the Doctor who I went to see. I knew it was a visual problem. Things looked blurry and if I turned to look sideways everything doubled and tripled up. Thankfully, at this point in my life I had health insurance so I was able to see a PCP. I was then sent to see an eye doctor who did a visual range exam on me. After the exam, he told me I needed to have an MRI.
This news didn't make me very happy. It brought the incidents from the following year back to my memory. Thankfully the second MRI I had was nowhere near as bad as the first one. In two days I got the results while I was sitting at my desk at work. It was very difficult being told I probably had Multiple Sclerosis (once again) over the phone.
It was also a very frightening thing to find out it was very likely that I had MS. I knew absolutely nothing about Multiple Sclerosis when I first found out I had it. I thought it meant that any morning I could wake up unable to move. The first Neurologist I had did absolutely nothing to assuage my fear. Now before you read this, please bear in mind that this Neurologist didn't know what he was talking about (with regards to Multiple Sclerosis). I can't bear the idea of another newly diagnosed patient reading this blatant misinformation and becoming frightened by it.
This Neurologist told me about a patient he had who came to him saying that her left arm and leg were tingling. He then told me that she quickly lost all feeling in one side of her body. I had no idea that this Doctor was using a very bad example since MS was something I still knew very little about. My mother was at this appointment with me and this idiot doctor managed to terrify both of us with this thoughtless comparison.
Thankfully I was able to find a new Neurologist who specialized in working with MS patients and he was able to completely calm both me and my mother down. Unfortunately, for the first few years after my diagnosis I had a few exacerbations (aka MS Attacks or flairs) at a rate of (approximately) one per year. The first two were bouts of Optic Neuritis (the first one being the strange eye trouble I had before being diagnosed. The second was a small blind spot in the same exact location for both eyes). I then had an attack that affected my mobility. The following (and the worst) attack was when I lost all feeling in my left arm.
Being left-handed, this caused a lot of trouble for me. Even though I have had almost full recovery from the MS Attacks there were residual side effects from all of them. I can't write more than a sentence without being in pain (and my handwriting and signature both have changed quite a bit). Typing hurts after a while but thankfully I'm able to do a bit of that. I also now wear contact lenses (can't wear glasses due to a nasal surgery I had a few years ago. The glasses press up against the scar and are very uncomfortable).
This last attack was in 1998. In 1999 I learned about Montel Williams being diagnosed with MS and I started to follow his progress. I'm really glad I did as it helped me help myself. When I read about his athleticism which I could see for myself when seeing him on TV I decided I was going to do whatever it took to fight the "MonSter" (as we "MS'ers" like to call it).
As much as I hate having this condition it was truly a wake-up call for me. Thanks to me deciding to become athletic I eventually quit smoking (8 years ago as of now) and developed an almost religious workout regimen. As far as the exercise goes I'm in better shape now than I was when I was in my teens. Please keep in mind that at this point in my life I'm certain I was born with Multiple Sclerosis since I have always had a lot of health problems that only MS would explain. My mother has informed me that I've had a tremor ever since I was an infant.
Once again I plan to skip some sections of my life so I can bring you to the point where I found out I also had Fibromyalgia. Multiple Sclerosis can cause very painful symptoms like spasticity pains. There is another problem called an "MS Hug" which, in my opinion, should have a different name. "Hug" makes it sound almost pleasant and nothing could be further from the truth. It feels like a corset is getting very tight (understatement) around the torso (or as another MS patient once said, it feels like the torso is being crushed by a giant gorilla). I didn't start experiencing the MS pains until after my attack in 1998.
Unfortunately the pain troubles just kept getting worse. After being laid off from a job I had for almost twelve years the pain became unbearable. The reason for this was likely to be stress but it also had to do with my workout schedule being "interrupted" for a brief period. A few years after I was let go, my stepfather passed away. When this happened my mother and I became much closer and I found out she had Fibromyalgia. I had heard about Fibromyalgia but didn't know much about it. I certainly hadn't considered the possibility that I might have it as well.
Thankfully one of my MS friends told me about something called Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) but I was never able to get a clear handle on what this drug was or what it would be good for. After I found out my mother had Fibromyalgia I decided to ask my Neurologist about it since I was having so much pain trouble that I was on a running dose of Percocet, something I was very unhappy about having to rely on. Ironically enough, my mother had met another woman with Fibromyalgia who told her all about LDN.
At this point I am going to end this "chapter" in my writing but I will definitely be putting more information back up as soon as I'm able. My goal in life is to teach people how to improve their quality of life (QOL) but life has a knack for "getting in the way" when I set my sights on accomplishing things. If you are reading this and are interested in finding out more please be patient with me and know that I will be coming back to this in the not-so-distant future. Thank you very much, by the way, for taking the time to read this. I really hope it was helpful for you.

Great hub, Yvonne, especially the segment about Fibromyalgia. I was diagnosed with this disease om 2013. and specialists in Birmingham, Ala., told me that the disease could not be cured and just take medications, so in the years to come, it has gradually gotten worse, just like the doctors predicted, but I have more of a mental battle than physical because when your life is pulled out of from underneath a rug, and you cannot work or come and go as you please, it eats at your self-esteem and self-image and people would say to me that I looked great and why do you say that you are sick?
I would have to take half hour ot explaining what Fibromyalgia was and what it did and this too, was very agonizing for me.
I am so thankful that you presented these topics.
May God bless and use you to touch more lives with your writing.
And you can write me any time.
Thank you for sharing your experience in this article. It is a very brave thing to do, and a genuine source of inspiration. Your willingness to go into detail as far as you can possibly manage emotionally is very much appreciated. I love how you are consciously pushing your boundaries and expanding your possibilities despite this illness. Bravo!
Nice to meet you, Yvonne. I've been living with MS since 2003. May you continue to flourish in the face of your challenges.
Hi Yvonne and everyone! So happy to find this blog. Not going to take up much of your time. I was diagnosed with MS 13 years ago, still doing well considering, and yes, get the "you look so well" thing. I just wanted to post because you are the first other person I know Yvonne, who has the MS as well as the fibromyalgia. I really don't know where my pain is coming from these days - it could be either one. Oh, and I also have Osteo Arthritis. The reason I am up this late is that the pain is just too horrible and I can't get comfortable, despite pain killers.
Am interested to read about the LDN, and will Google it shortly. I hope to read more from you, and maybe we can have some email contact? It can be a bit of a lonely old path we walk, when other well meaning family members don't really know what we're feeling or going through. I don't want to be treated like an invalid, but do like some validation. It's hard to get that balance. Look forward to hearing more from you.
Thanks for the hit back I just put up that hub late last night and wow already had some response. Loved your article about fibromyalgia, the roving pain explanation. I read your mom's comments and saw how she is still living with the chronic pain, until i got on the right pain med i was her, i spent a lot of time in bed and was in pain all the time. Well i went to a pain specialist and they put me on time released morphine, 30mg, it gave me my life back, it works on the part of the brain that helps you cope with the pain, i became more active, forgot about the pain for hours at a time. It's time released so it's better than pills you take every 8 hrs or so, that allow you to feel the pinch of pain three times a day. With this med you have a time released action. Tell her about this. And the massage part of my article. You don't feel doped up on this med, it saved my life from depression and pain. I will follow you, you have great articles.
Fibromyalgia is the most common musculoskeletal condition after osteoarthritis. Fibromyalgia is a common and chronic disorder. When a health illness or condition is chronic it means it is long-lasting

Hello! I am both excited and saddened discovering this hub. Well written offering a secret being encouragement is discovered through knowledge. I have a dual or triple diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder Type I, Diabetes Type II, and other stuff. I have a Dearest Best Friend with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. So, I am acquainted with chronic.
I think there is so much hidden and obvious insight with this article. I encourage you to continue with the therapeutic value of writing and sharing.
I look forward to more of your imagination, creativity, facts and fiction as you grow with us here at HP
This was an EXCELLENT Blog, you are a very good writer. Love your poem above Yvonne and I like very few !! I'm on that same ROLLERCOASTER with you and I hope someday to get off as I'm sure you do also !!
You had some really great comments from others also, was a pleasure to read the entire Blog & Comments ! Let me know when you publish your book, cause I will buy one!
I loved this. It's very personal and beautifully written. I hope to see more from you in the future. You have gained a loyal follower!
I know I would benefit from magnesium but I have an allergy to it. I have found an acid medicine recently, (Gaviscon) that has it in it and I manage to tolerate that so maybe it will help. Well I am off to read your new hub. I will keep sharing your hubs to hopefully let others read you.
I am glad to hear you use natural food etc to help with your pain. Fish oil and fresh apple cider are two miracle ones for me. I never go a day without those two. I have Fibromyalgia. I would look into the bee stings too if I had MS.
If you turned this hub into two or three it would probably get read more, making the first one an introduction. People here really do care but most are pretty busy and can't give a long article as much attention and I would like to see you read. I will share this with my followers.
Hi. Just want to let you know that I read your blog and really relate to what you have been through. It's been over a year now that I have been off Anonex -I just couldn't take the side effects anymore! I just take LDN now. I think it's helping? :) I try to stay busy with work and trying to stay creative, love my dogs and sleep whenever sleep lets me in! I have also lost a job over having MS, and felt many effects from friends and family concerning my capabilities... hey, you look fine so what's the problem, right? Must be laziness. This attitude has led to a lot of anxiety and depression. (sigh...) Anyway, thanks for listening and keep writing! I'll keep reading! Thank you again for shareing your story.
Hi Yvonne, I just read your posts here and decided I would write to you. I was diagnosed with MS in MAY 2008, and placed on Copaxone but never got better, then Avonex, then Tysarbi, then methotrexate with high prednisone doses, then gilenya. My MS continued to progress very quickly, and all my MRI's showed new and active lesions in my brain and spinal cord every single time. I am writing to tell you there is HOPE!!!! I know because my neurologist told me that if I didn't get the Hematopoietic Stem Cell transplant then I wouldn't be alive much longer, and he directed me to Dr. Burt in Chicago for the clinical trial. Dr. Burt said I was too far advanced to be accepted for his trial. It was pure FATE that Carmel Turner from Australia emailed me back that same day, and asked if she could telephone me. I had researched her online and watched her videos of her transplant experience and emailed her asking questions. I also learned of a man named George Goss here in the USA that had the transplant too, and he has a blog. I would suggest you google George and read his blog. I had the transplant done on March 27, 2012 in Bangaore India. I returned back home to Arkansas on May 14, 2012 and had my MRI done in July. The MRI showed NO ACTIVE AND NO NEW lesions in my brain or spinal cord...none!!!! I had NEVER had a MRI show NO NEW OR ACTIVE LESIONS!!!!! My neurologist was happily stunned with my results. He hugged me and told me he was proud of me and thanked me for having enough courage to fight for this transplant and for going to another country to have it performed. I am sharing this with you because I want you to know that this is HOPE!!!! I am still recovering from the transplant, but I have a future now and I get to continue to be a mom to my 2 kids(13&23 yrs old) I still have all the damage that I had prior to my transplant, but I don't have any new damage from the MS!!!!! I would be happy to discuss this with you more if you are interested. I am on FB as ALLISSA LINDLEY WILSON, and I have a support group on FB2 called Allissa's Support Group. I hope you will research Carmel Turner of Australia, and George Goss because they have far more information available than I do, and they also have a group on FB called hematopoietic stem cell transplant for MS and other autoimmune diseases. You can email me also at firstname.lastname@example.com (that is a one behind the W) I hope you will reach out to me because I understand how you feel. I too have CONSTANT UNBEARABLE PAIN, but the transplant is offering me HOPE of a day when I will NOT WORRY ABOUT MS ever again. Take Care!
Hi Yvonne,
I just read your story and realised I was nodding (in agreement), shaking my head (in agreement) and in general I understand all you are saying apart from the pain. I've been 'fortunate' so far in that I don't suffer with any pain.
My MS began with optic neuritis when I was about 25. I'm not gong to write an essay - this is your platform - and your story is one I will keep up to date on. LDN didn't work for me and I have never been offered ANY disease modifying drug. LDN is far too inexpensive for it to be made available to those who may benefit. It's nothing but corruption and greed between the huge drug companies and governments worldwide.
I've tried stem cell treatment which was all a con. If you type my name into youtube you can see an interview did a couple of years ago.
I had CCSVI in May of this year and apart from crying from the pain when they tried to inflate my jugular veins it had no effect whatsoever.
I want to try hemp oil next but I ujndersand it's expensive.. I can't afford to keep paying for treatment. Did you know that over here (UK) many people take LDN as a form of precaution (cancer) and also because it's an anti ageing treatment so maybe I should go back onto it!
Finally on my Timeline there is a very interesting video on hemp oil.
Apparently it doesn't just 'help' it CURES.....
First of all I need to say how proud I am of Yvonne. She has dealt with this awful disease much better than I have. Instead of falling into the "why me" syndrome, she has decided to do everything possible to keep herself as healthy as she can. When she was first diagnosed I couldn't even talk about it with my husband. I made the mistake of reading online messages which were mostly from people with the most frightening stories to tell. Advice to the newly diagnosed: do NOT read listserv MS group messages. They are mostly from those with the worst cases and will only scare you to death. As Yvonne has said, each person with MS is different. Also there have been great strides in medication so there are actually things that can help now that didn't exist 20 years ago. I was there when the doctors told her that she "might" have MS. They also said that if she had to get it, the timing was good because the first drug for MS, Betaseron, had just been approved. Before that there was nothing.
It also amazes me how many people have MS. I never knew until Yvonne got it. If I mention her condition to someone they always know someone (friend or family member) who has it. I have also experienced the 'hoof in mouth' person who will say, "oh yes, I had a friend who died from MS". I don't know why people do that. The same thing happened when my late husband was diagnosed with bone cancer. My neighbor said, "my mother had that. It's extremely painful". Not something you should say to someone who has just been diagnosed with a terminal disease. Since her diagnosis I have found out that sisters of both of my daughter-in-laws have it as well as two sisters of a friend. Also my paper delivery person has it. All of these people had it and I never knew because they "look fine".
Anyway on to my story: I have severe chronic back pain. I've had it for ten years. It is soft tissue pain and there is no surgical treatment for it. I tried every type of medical and alternative therapy you could think of without success. It eventually caused my body to react with fibromyalgia like pain. I've been on pain medications and use a TENS machine for 9 years. I am in constant pain. I've had it for so long that I've learned to live with it. People look at me and find it hard to believe that I'm in pain. That has sometimes been a problem. When I explain that I can't do something because of my back pain people often look at me with skepticism because the pain doesn't show. Several years ago my chiropractor started giving me "cold laser" treatments which have helped reduce the pain by about 25%. It has allowed me to live a much more normal life, but I truly understand what it's like to have invisible pain. It stinks and I wish that they would stop saying they are going to find a cure for MS and DO IT!
To those out there with MS reading this - Yvonne is a wonderful source of information and support. I know she would be happy to hear from anyone who might benefit from her help.

Drawdown Lifetime
Equity Release Plans have been continually developed over the last decade. All of the Providers of Equity Release Schemes are constantly trying to improve the plans available to Clients.
Drawdown Lifetime Equity Release Schemes have been available for 7 years and have proved to be by far the best improvement in the flexibility of lending since Equity Release started.
Under a Drawdown Lifetime plan your maximum loan is worked out based on your age and the valuation of your property,
For example:
If you could borrow £60,000 but today you only need to borrow £30,000 for your immediate use. There is no point in borrowing £60,000 as the extra £30,000 you would have to find somewhere to invest it at a higher rate of interest than you are paying under your existing Equity Release Scheme i.e. £30,000 borrowed at 6.6% you would need to invest at 6.6% to just break even. With a Drawdown lifetime plan you can choose to leave the extra £30,000 which has been pre-approved for you to borrow at any stage in the future. The £30,000 left in borrowed does not have any interest charged or any charges added, it is just a further facility available generally at any time.
There are generally no restrictions imposed on when you borrow further funds. You can normally borrow any further funds at your request. As the further funds have been pre-approved, they normally have no further charges, no solicitors' fees, application fees or valuation fees. All Lenders have different further lending criteria but normally the minimum further loan amount is either £2000 or £5000 and usually takes approximately 2 weeks for the money to be deposited in your bank, charge free.
The main benefit of the Drawdown Lifetime scheme is as you have borrowed a much smaller loan initially and then smaller loans throughout your lifetime, interest is only charged on the money borrowed from the date it is loaned to you. This has no affect of greatly reducing the amount of interest which is accumulated at the repayment date. Also as the amount you owe in the future will be lower this may enable you to borrow further funds in the future.
When you have reached the end of your Drawdown facility you may be able to have it increased. It will be based on the future value of your home and your new age at the time of application less your current balance. As you will owe less at this point because of the way the interest is added there will be a greater chance of a new facility than if you had chosen a maximum loan at the outset.

Five years after Korea was partitioned into South and North Korea, the two countries began combating. Led by Kim Il Sung, the North launched a surprise invasion southwards on June 25th 1950. After nearly taking over the entire peninsula, American forces, alongside those of the United Nations, got involved in an attempt to drive the communists back. In due time the Chinese got involved in the conflict as well. This escalation brought forth what is today known as the Korean War. While searching for the grounds of this aggression, it is vital to acknowledge that causes are bound to be numerous in number.
Firstly, the fact that China had just become a communist state indeed presents itself as an important aspect of the commencement of the Korean War, as it lead to the United States putting more effort into stopping the spread of communism southward from North Korea. China falling victim to communism in October of 1949 was a major blow to the United States as it stood out as a failure of its containment policy, which was meant to stop the spread of communism, and opened up a completely new array of worries concerning the political standpoints of china's many neighboring nations, potential application of domino theory.
The United States therefore had little alternative but to immediately get itself involved in Korean hostility, as it had to demonstrate to the world its ability to overpower any communist threat to freedom. Thus, China's transformation to a communist state had indeed been a factor of the United States direct involvement in, and the escalation of, the Korean War. China's fall to communism also affected Stalin's stance on Kim Il Song's desire to invade South Korea. With China being the great new addition to the world's array of communist countries, Stalin's confidence in communism on as whole must have been soaring. In this light he gave his approval of Kim Il Song's wish to invade South Korea as he felt that communism was increasing in strength, that it was indeed slowly rising up around the world, and that the ideal had enough momentum to see through North Korea's timely triumph. This is important because without Stalin's approval it is highly possible that North Korea never would have invaded. Since March of 1949 North Korean leadership sought, as the source puts it, "...permission to liberate the South.". Not until Kim Il Song was given authorization by Stalin in early 1950 did North Korea even start preparing the invasion, and even so, assistance in coming up with ways and methods with which to carry out the attack was given to North Korea exclusively by the Soviet Union. It is surely no coincidence that Stalin's verification of North Korea's intentions very closely follows the transformation of China into a Communist state. Furthermore, the fall of China may very well have given Stalin the yearning for an eventually fully communist Asia, and any opportunity to dispose of the capitalist state that was South Korea with a minimal amount of effort should be appreciated. Thus it can be seen that China turning into a communist state was to some degree a cause of the Korean War.
The reaction of the United States to the invasion of South Korea surprised Kim Il Sung and Stalin, this may have contributed to the cause of the Korean War. The communists had reason to believe that the United States would not get involved in any conflict on the Korean Peninsula. Firstly, on 5th of January 1950 United States Secretary of State Dean Acheson gave a speech going over American foreign policy. In this speech, he outlined a basic perimeter of foreign countries the United States would defend with force from communist attack; he disregarded South Korea. Despite Acheson's later excuse of simple absent-mindedness, Stalin interpreted this as America stating that it would turn a blind eye to the Koreas in any case of hostility. It again is surely no coincidence that not even a month after Acheson's speech Stalin informed Kim Il Song that he was prepared to help him in the matter of invasion. Another reason Stalin doubted as to whether or not the Americans would get involved in the war is the fact that the Soviets had made public their successful detonation of an atomic bomb on the 29th of August 1949. It must be remembered that it was not until the Soviet archives were declassified in the 1990s that the United States knew Stalin's true position behind the Korean War, for all they knew in 1950, Stalin could have been holding an Atomic bomb intended for South Korea. It must have seemed too big a risk for America to take for the well-being of Korea, a place not even worthy of being mentioned in a speech made by the US secretary of state specifically naming countries the US would go to war for. Therefore it can be seen that the Soviet Union and North Korea had reason to believe that the US would not get involved in any conflict on the Korean Peninsula, however, the reasons behind what the United States actually did stated otherwise. The forefront of American foreign policy was containment, as well as its newest feature, NSC68. NSC68 was a report issued by the United States Security council in April of 1950, which spoke of the Soviet Union hell-bent on taking over the world through the spread of communism. Since the US acknowledged communism as being monolithic in nature, to combat the spread of communism anywhere would be synonymous with direct assault upon the Soviet Union's conquest. It thus called for not only massive military funding, an increase from five billion to 40 billion dollars a year, but also a change in its containment strategy from a strictly defensive character to that of an aggressive, military based nature. With this in mind, it can be seen that the Americans were to a certain extent anticipating the very likes of the North Korean invasion of South Korea. It would have been a travesty to go to this new extent of foreign policy and the likes thereof, only to shy away from real world application. Had the Americans backed down and not involved themselves in Korea after the invasion, it would have been a sign to the Soviet Union that the United States was not to be taken seriously, and quite possibly Soviet attempts on Berlin may have ensued.
It is an extremely important factor in examining causes of the Korean War that the US had passed NSC68, as historian of late have proclaimed that had Stalin been aware of its existence, he quite possibly may have never given Kim Il Sung the advance for the attack, and the entire Korean war extravaganza may never have taken place. Thus, it can be seen that the different views on America's potential involvement on the Korean peninsula played a large role in the conflict's escalation to the fully-fledged war.
The Korean War claimed more than 2.5 million lives, lives of people from all walks of life. With a war that reaches so deep into the ÃÂdepths of darknessÃÂ, it can be concluded that to settle on a certain set of causes, it must be taken into account the layer at which the causes are presented. Furthermore one can provide perspective and take insight one step further, yet so as not to find oneself in un-chartered territory after running for some time on a tangent, an objective point of reference must be made which orients itself accordingly. We have yet to see the end of the Korean War and until then, its causes will have direct relevance in a world which has no means to be forgotten. 'Work Cite1.ÃÂKorean War."

« I'll be Happy When....The Shifting Startup Goal Line | Main | We Interrupt This Regularly Scheduled Program to Talk About Failure »
Startups Aren't Just About #Winning Moments
Not every moment at a startup is the kind announced on Facebook or Twitter followed by "#winning."
Some of the relatively ordinary sounding things that I have done in the past few days:
- Book flights for January conference
- Review sales pipeline
- Design and deploy new feature announcement email sent to users
- Collect examples of how large sites implement a feature we need
- Code business expenses from December for accountant
- Dispute charge with credit card company
- Follow up with prospective strategic partners
- Finalize list of business indicators to include in an automated report
- Help re-prioritize engineering queue to address newly urgent issues
- Run payroll
- Call state tax department about an error
- Monthly check-in with accountant
- Reserve hotel rooms for March conference
- Discuss and rename sales pipeline stages
- Review implementation of business indicators report
- Meet with CEO of another company
- Get the mail
- Answer support emails
- Hold meeting to discuss presentation for January conference
- Get bids for t-shirt printing costs
- Report a software bug to engineering
- Schedule meetings with prospective partners
- Research costs for exhibit displays at March conference
- Discuss ongoing development of a new feature with engineering
I guess this list is a friendly reminder that there are a lot of moments in between the headline-setting, gold-medal moments.

Beef Tartare at Skal, the Lower East Side's New Icelandic Bar
There's not much to look at on the walk to Skal, a Nordic cocktail bar and restaurant on the far end of Canal Street. But a recent visit on a cold, cloudy night was rewarded with surprising warmth from the bar and a chatty but civil crowd. And, of course, this tartare.
The dish is elusively called Raw Beef ($15) on the menu, and the demure description of "littleneck clams, wild onions, and grilled bread" do little to prepare you for this unevenly chopped plate, with some morsels no larger than a pea, others big enough to hang off your fork. There's those chamomile fronds on top for starters, and a sprinkling of pollen, and a tiny chamomile flower stuck in the meat that looks like the punchline to a James Thurber joke.
But that's garnish. The soul of the dish is its raw roar of beefiness, almost alarmingly savory yet not oversalted. Take your time with it—you'll need to as not to be overwhelmed—and let the meat sit on your tongue a second before you chew. The flavor is clear and uninterrupted, beef good enough not to require adornment, with a hint of briny salinity from the clams. Then there's the toast, which is bathed in beef fat before hitting the grill, and its fattiness draws out the sweet meatiness of the beef all the more.
The dish is larger than it appears in the photo, but make no mistake: this is a tiny portion of food for what you're paying. But take a bite and you'll see there's nothing precious about it. The flavor well outsizes the plate.
