Part 3
Non-traditional Treatment Options for Lyme Disease
In Parts 1 & 2 of this series, I laid the foundation for healthy lifestyle choices and also outlined the 6 elements of antimicrobial therapy in the treatment of Lyme disease. In this article, I am going to go a little farther outside the norm. As a physician with a special interest in alternative therapies and treatments, I have had the opportunity to see some of these non-traditional modalities make significant differences in patients' lives. I will share some of those options with you here.
A SIDE NOTE: When we venture into the world of alternative and complementary medicine sometimes we find ourselves in the Twilight Zone. People often get oddly excited - in a couple of ways.
Some people become overly enthusiastic and eager to do anything and everything as long as it wasn't written on a tradition doctor's prescription pad. They tend to believe that traditional medicine is only run by pharmaceutical crooks and that pill-pushing docs are just working for the ba-jillion dollar medical machine. They'll spend their entire retirement savings on the latest "breakthrough supplement" hyped up in their favorite alternative medicine magazine, but never listen to the advice of an MD.
On the other hand, some people become almost reflexively enraged at even the mention of "alternative and complementary medicine." They tout being staunchly "evidence-based" in their practice, but ironically, are usually unwilling to look at evidence that is contrary to their present paradigm. These are physicians and patients alike who have an unwaivering faith in the traditional medicine. Even if they acknowledge some limitations, they ultimately believe that there is no better beacon of medical hope than Western medicine.
I think both of these extremes are unhealthy. I am a trained medical doctor and believe that my education in traditional medicine is essential and helps me improve people's lives every day. At the same time, I know that the human body is incredible in its complexity and believe that every physician should carry an extreme humility about their personal understanding of its functions and processes. In light of this, I believe that we are blessed to have both traditional and alternative therapies. We must hold to the amazing advances we have made in the past, and also embrace the alternative and complementary industry which often pushes our medical understanding into new discovery and innovation.
As such, I do not shy from presenting alternative options to my patients. Every day I am grateful to have more "tools in my toolbox" than the average physician. Sometimes the medicines work marvelously, and sometimes we fix the problem with a supplement or something else altogether. I am grateful for all options that may potentially help my patients.
Ok, that was a long side note. Let's get back to Lyme.
Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UBI)
A very fascinating treatment modality that we offer at our clinic is Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UBI) or photoluminescence. UV light waves can destroy bacteria and other microorganisms. Such lights are used on buffet bars to help protect food from pathogens and also in some heating and cooling systems to help purify the air. Some physicians have taken this a step further and actually use it on the blood. In our office, we will remove a small amount of blood from a patient and shine concentrated UV light onto the blood. This "irradiated" blood will then be returned to the patient. This aids in the destruction of microbes and helps trigger the immune response to deal with the pathogens. I have several patients who keep their Lyme symptoms under control with occasional UV treatments alone - without antibiotic use. I personally believe that it has helped me recover more quickly from colds and upper respiratory infections when I treat them early on.
If this treatment interests you, I encourage you to do some more looking into it. The book that we have referenced in our clinic is entitled Into the Light by William Campbell Douglass, MD.
Ultrasonic and Resonance Frequency Therapy
The world of resonance frequencies, electromagnetic impulses, sound waves, gravitational forces and all-things micro and nano is a wild world with frontiers and implications yet to be discovered. Decades ago the medical application of these concepts started its slow but promising germination. Today there are all sorts of gadgets and gizmos which claim a wide range of medical and health benefits. In our office, we have had surprising success improving the lives of some of our Lyme patients utilizing Zyto scans and PulsedTech therapies. As I am not the one who operates these devices, I often defer technical questions to our technician who specializes in this interesting field.
Essentially, a Zyto scan is like a very sensitive skin impulse detector that can be used to identify and interpret abnormal responses to subtle electrical stimuli. These abnormalities can be referenced against a database which will then tell you what those frequency variations most likely mean. For example, it is interesting how often Lyme frequencies will come up in patients we suspect of having it or who have already had a confirmatory blood test. Furthermore, ultrasonic resonance frequencies such as those emitted by PulsedTech plasma tubes or Rife Machines, very often have a positive impact on Lyme patients. Thus, we use a combination of Zyto scanning and plasma tube ultrasonic resonance therapies for our Lyme patients. Some of our patients have definitely benefited and also appreciate that this is another "non-antibiotic" option.
Perhaps the most studied and scrutinized form of "alternative" medicine is acupuncture. (Although, since it is roughly a 3000 year old form of medicine, you might argue the relatively young model of Western medicine is the "alternative.") We are fortunate in our office of diverse treatments to have an excellent acupuncturist. Again, as this is not my specialty, I can only state that it often works in remarkable ways. In particular, sometimes I have patients who are so run down and tired and are seemingly sensitive to everything except air and water - these are especially the patients whom I encourage to try acupuncture. Our therapist will often isolate congestion in the liver, gallbladder, spleen or kidneys and after a few sessions, patients will feel like they are starting to turn around a little bit. Once we get some momentum from acupuncture, I will begin to address things more aggressively from the nutrition/detox/biochemical perspective. It is remarkable how placing needles in specific body locations can bring about a positive change in someone's health, but again, the body is incomprehensibly complex and interrelated. Influencing and opening up energy meridians or electrical pathways through such ancient techniques should not be disregarded. In fact, if you have Lyme Disease, I would strongly encourage you to find a reputable acupuncturist and schedule a consultation.
Although these are only a few of the many alternative options out there, they are several that I am familiar with and have seen help my Lyme patients. Again, if you or a loved on has a diagnosis of Lyme disease, I would encourage you to explore UBI, resonance frequency or acupuncture. Ultimately, Lyme is not a "one-size-fits-all" sort of condition. So personal experimentation may be the best way for you to find out what works the best for you. It is certainly nice to be able to add some non-pharmacologic options to the mix.

VCU loves Charles Barkley!! You tell it like it is! You're "HAVOC" in the sports commentator game!
Mr. Barkley, thank you in believing in University of Memphis. I appreciate you going for the underdog. If you ever in Memphis, TN look me up. You are doing a great job.
You need to clean your throat out dog.
Your contributions to vcu and many others, is greatly appreciated and welcomed. Its what you do and have done for so many, is not published or known. God bless and thank you for all the many lives you have touched.
VCU golf team 1990
Mr. Barkley,
I love your commentary. You are the best.
I repect your opinion and love how candid you are. However, your clear bias against the Big Ten is evident. It was the same last year. You are harping on the charge call in the Ohio St-Iowa St game but that was clearly bang bang. If a block, it was by half an inch. You're better than that Charles. There were calls missed that were a detrement to Ohio St. Be subjective, that:s all I ask.
Kudos to you for your comment about bad ref calls. They really do effect the games. It is consistently called in favor of the top seeds which should not be the case. I've noticed that top seed teams Re also on the bonus sooner.
Do you understand that a team that has already beaten a lower seed (see Minnesota vs ucla results ) can not be seen as over rated. Picking Minnesota and Illinois to lose to a lower seed today doesn't make you a genius. As for the Aaron craft charge call in the Ohio state game- you would have a very valid point if that was the only questionable call in the game. I'm pretty sure there were a few other questionable calls and some of them were even against Ohio state. Some lower seeds in other conferences have already lost( in case you didn't notice). Sorry you hate the big ten. Educate yourself, your on national tv. Your golf swing sucks. God bless!
Would be great if your announcers could try to be unbiased in sdsu vs gulf coast game!! Why do y'all have to be such sheep and jump on underdog bandwagon !!!! Disappointed with TNT!! Expected better!!
Hey, im not a fan of any of your sneakers but, the Barkley Posites are hot… and im motivated even tho I couldn't get my hands on any. Im working on some new colorways if your interested ill be waiting for your reply.
Sir Charles;
Your disrespect of Big Ten basketball is perplexing. It is clearly the best conference this year. I suppose you also do not think the SEC is tops in football? To be a consistant jackass, you may as well dispute this fact as well. That's not gong to happen, is it?
Keep your opinons to yourself and talk about facts.
Mr. Noopinionandwellinformed.
Sir Charles, you made such a big deal on the wrong call that was made during the OSU vs. ISU game. Involving Kraft and his heel being in the restricted area. But yet, you didn't mention the bad call on the deflection going out of bounds in the Illinois vs. Miami game. Which was clearly off a Miami player. The big ten got a gift and you point that out, but when one of the big ten teams get hosed, you don't point that out. What gives chuck ????
Charles is a moron/liar. He's a moron because he thinks the big ten is overrated. Also, just a second ago on tnt he said that he had 4 big ten teams in the sweet sixteen, even though he only picked one. Chuck, stick to the nba
While being a huge fan of the tnt broadcast crew I must say charles your college analysis has completely pissed me off. Your ignorant comments about the big ten are a complete joke. Four out of sixteen sweet sixteen teams, Illinois taking acc's best team to the wire Minnesota with good showing only negative being Wisconsins performance. No conference perfomed as well. Maybe if you had beat michael just once in your life you wouldn't feel the need to drag everyone else down
I just want to know if you can say O H I O !!!! You are so bias against the BIG 10 and THE OHIO STATE BUCKEYES that when you open your mouth on national TV you make an ass out of yourself. Get a life
Charles, in the past I always respected your opinion on college bball. But i took exception to your comment this year that the Big 10 was over rated and the Pac 12 was under rated. How do you feel now that 2 of the final 8 are big 10 and there is no Pac 12 team left?
Some people are mad with Charles comments.
However, It is hard for many people to except TRUTH, and that is what Sir Charles Barkley is all about, he is man enough to say the things many person can only think about, but don't have the guts to speak.
I like his predictions on the Lakers this season am a Laker fan, and Charles were the only Sports Analys that was honest with me when he in so much words said…DON'T EXPECT MUCH FROM THE LAKERS IF THEY ARE DEPENDING ON A 39 year old point guard….its not a good way to start a conversation!
Sir Charles was right again.
Thanks for an honest view point of the game, sir Charles!!! Great player, honest man.
Did you jump over a score keeping counter to chase a referree during one of your games?

White House talking points on DACA advises recipients to self-deport
White House talking points that circulated around Washington Tuesday about the end of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program said that current recipients should be prepared to self-deport, according to a Democratic source who obtained the document.
The document, shared with CBS News, says that "The Department of Homeland Security urges DACA recipients to use the time remaining on their work authorizations to prepare for and arrange their departure from the United States -- including proactively seeking travel documentation -- or apply for other immigration benefits for which they may be eligible."
Eventually, DACA will be "phased out," the talking points said, in which all DACA benefits that are provided on a two-year basis will expire. Current DACA recipients have a chance to request a renewal, but some have a small window of time -- until Oct. 5 -- to apply.
On Tuesday, senior DHS officials said that the administration's enforcement posture wouldn't change as a result of the move. They said this means that for deportation, criminals who are undocumented will still be the priority, as well as illegal reentrants and people with outstanding orders of removal.
Officials said there are no plans to change their methodology to prioritize certain people, but they also said that there's no way of knowing what they'll be doing in six months, in part because they want to give Congress a chance to pass legislation. Officials said that they will not be issuing formal guidance that will outline how to treat DACA recipients after their benefits expire.
But the administration's policy, officials confirmed, is that anyone who is in the U.S. illegally should be prepared to no longer remain here.
Hours after the announcement was made, Mr. Trump said on Twitter that he might revisit the issue if Congress doesn't legalize the program, which Attorney General Jeff Sessions argued was unconstitutional.
As of March of this year, the program has deferred deportations for more than 787,000 people, according to a Department of Homeland Security report released in June. Since Mr. Trump's inauguration, undocumented students had feared that the president will reverse the DACA program.
Applicants must have continuously lived in the U.S. since June 15, 2007 and come to the U.S. before his or her 16th birthday. Those who have been convicted of a felony, significant misdemeanor or three or more other misdemeanors or who pose a risk to national security or public safety are not eligible for the program.
CBS News' Jacqueline Alemany contributed to this report.


text: A trade deal was finally struck between the US and Canada that combined with the Mexico deal has been rebranded as "USMCA", though it could aptly be described as the same old NAFTA with a few tweaks. The deal tilts protectionist, but perhaps the most controversial new clause requires notification of any trade talks with a "non-market" economy which some say gives the US effective veto power over Canada and Mexico negotiating trade agreements with China. In any case, having mostly settled its trade skirmishes around the world, the US has clearly narrowed its trade focus on China.

'Rockstar' Kalam
Rashmi Talwar
Did they know he wasn't going to be back? —Yes/No! Nevertheless, that was hardly a reason for former President APJ Abdul Kalam being nearly mobbed at Jaipur Literature Festival (JLF), in January this year, just seven months before his divine call.
At Diggi Palace, Jaipur, JLF Organizers were ecstatic over the response for the former president. "The numbers outmatched Oprah Winfrey, USA's top Talk Show Host in session 2012", said an organizer.
JLF is one time in India, where no one gets pushed, pinched, pounced or poached despite a turnout of nearly 2 lakh people over five days. The Intelligentsia behaves, is refined, courteous and firm too.
As if sensing the euphoria and cheering before Kalam climbed the front stage of JLF, Bibek Debroy- a policy research scientist himself, promptly christened Kalam – a 'Rockstar!'
The crowd went into raptures cheering him. Kalam's refusal to take a seat after the host invited him, was lauded; his gesture of a little word exchange with front audiences before sitting was lauded; eventually his seat-taking at his own pace was lauded. The public visibly appeared hungry. Yes, hungry or utterly famished. His every word was cheered. The audience, not only gave ovations but parroted lines whenever Kalam ordered -'repeat after me!' like nursery tots. Completely bowled over, Bibek gave the credit of Kalam's Rockstar credentials not just to Kalam's crowd pull but to the former Prez's charged book –'Ignited Minds'.
This, and stories by Kalam, of how his application for pilot's license was rejected, early in life. He was ranked 10th and nine above him were selected for pilot training. Thereafter, his meteorical rise to become President of India, thus assuming charge as 'the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces', applying for learning and eventually piloting an aircraft. The story grabbed imaginations in multiple hues of the dreamy audience. "You have to dream before your dream can come true," he repeated.
What really attracted youth and aged alike to this unassuming man, virtually a cartoonist's delight, with his signature in-turned doggy tail front-locks peppered hair, loose short-sleeved bush-shirt and hanger hung pajamas, resembling pants?
The attire metamorphosis as President was easy. What was not easy; was to ignore Kalam's purity, his humbleness, his comfortable non-conformist oratory, uncomplicated clean and resounding thoughts, a recounter of religious gems of all faiths and his simple conclusions and formulas of life. He was a lovable teacher who did not hesitate to ask his audience to repeat after him and conclude on an elevating note. These seem to be some classic reasons for Kalam's universal adulation.
The power of collective sound, like the chirping of a school of sparrows at the prick of dawn; the unified vibrations resonating in the universe's atmosphere, conspiring to make 'the impossible' happen. Kalam, stood as a tallest example of this 'happening' in realtime.
Kalam's missile powered mind also hit on soft targets like me, I promptly became his follower when he took up for underdoggies likes me, -" The best brains of the nation may be found on the last benches of the classroom", fitted me just fine. I had continued to sit out of sight, even in press conferences.
Kalam, was the first celebrity I sat next to during a press conference, reining my mind to relax, without shivers, group fright et al, I squeaked – "Should India take the nuclear option in case there is a war with Pakistan?" The missile man spurned the query and instead talked about vision 2020 for India, a book he had penned. Being the first time, I flushed with embarrassment. This was in early 2003, when India –Pakistan soldiers stood eye ball to eye ball after the Indian Parliament attack. Undeterred, I wrote the story about evasion of the query on the nuclear option by Kalam. It hit the limelight. Lameness took time to abandon me but I tried to build on my strengths.
At the first opportunity, Kalam- 'The missile man of Peace's' photo got perched on my cabin wall in The Tribune. A year later, in early September of 2004, Kalam visited Amritsar again during '400th year of Installation of the Guru Granth Sahib' celebrations at Golden Temple at Amritsar.
I was deputed to cover the president at historic Jalliawalla Bagh, the symbol of blood for freedom. I reached rather early for the President's midafternoon visit hoping to catch some side stories. Never thought, the President's visit would actually turn bloody for me.
It was one of those days that come every month for a woman. While I patiently waited, the impatience of flow continued. With my garments stained, I sat on an edge and tried to cover my embarrassment, rolling a duppatta. Frospoke and honored the last known survivor of Jalliawalla Bagh Massacre Bapu Shinghara Singh. He urged his aides to help pen down the story of Shinghara, who showed a gunshot wound on his hand from that 1919's bloody Baisakhi episode.
Having met the President, I still could ill afford to go home, instead went to office, used newspapers on seats everywhere, filed the story and rushed home sometime at night. However, Kalam's, words—'A Leader should know how to manage failure'… rang loud throughout that starlit night.

You'd think that after sixteen years of working, I'd have some idea of what I want, right? Something that I could clearly articulate, that I could defend, that I could state without compromise.
It's strange, then, that 2015 has so far been a year of realizing that it's really, really hard to understand what it is that you actually want. Or rather, that it's really easy to get distracted from it.
So here's what I want out of work. I want to be able to build things that are amazing. That I am deeply proud to have brought into the world. That make other peoples' lives better in some meaningful way. I want to control that, and not ever be put in a position where I have to give it up for any reason.
I want to be able to use work – my time at work – to help people become better people. To be more empathic. To help other people achieve their dreams. Maybe that's a message that I can get to the players, or maybe it's a message that's for the people I'm working directly with.
If we're fortunate enough to be successful, I want everyone to share in that success in a genuinely equitable way. If we're fortunate enough to simply be able to continue doing the things we love doing, I want to give people opportunity. I want to help the underrepresented get a foothold in game development.
I want to build something amazing.

Former Theatre Royal
Former theatre, later cinema. 1901-2 by Campbell and Horsley of Manchester. Red brick and terracotta; some render and stock brick to rear; slate roofs. Three storeys and attics. Elaborate symmetrical frontage, nine bays wide with broad and elaborate central bay under round terracotta arch with keystone. Pilasters to either side, and central three bays have a distinguished composition with windows in terracotta surrounds to second storey, two oeil de boeufs above flanked by balustrading. Elaborate moulded and cut brick decoration in pediment, flanked by finials. Simpler short pilasters and keystones to the remaining three bays, and these features are continued on the Henry Street elevation. Sash windows in timber frames throughout. Doors under projecting ground-floor canopy blocked. Roof with lantern.
Interior: Substantially intact auditorium of stalls, circle and gallery, supported on cast-iron columns in circle, which also has plaster ceiling. Large coved ceiling forms central dome over auditorium, with steeply raked gallery continuing behind. Elaborate balcony fronts with plaster swag decoration. Proscenium arch survives, with top cresting, blocked by later inserted cinema screen. Theatrical flies, grid and 13.4m deep raked stage survive behind this.
To the left of the stage is a lighting perch which contains a Rank lighting control board. This is a Sunset Dimmer rack, Grand Master version, connected to dimmers in the projection box. In the rear cinema projection box are two carbon arc "Kalee" projectors with "President" lamphouses and "Universal" bases, a later discharge lamp film projector, and also 2 carbon arc discharge follow spots and a carbon arc discharge slide projector, all of probable 1950s date. A side room contains a mercury discharge transformer and an AC-DC generator.
The Theatre Royal was opened in 1902 as a replacement for an early Theatre Royal nearby in Frank Street. It first showed films in 1914, which were combined with live shows until 1972. Included as a complete Edwardian theatre, its balconies and decorative areas intact, with proscenium arch. The exterior is notable for its lavish terracotta and brick decoration.
Curtains!!! A New Life for Old Theatres, Theatres Trust, 1982, p.126
This 1902 former theatre and cinema, now disused, is of special significance as a substantially complete Edwardian theatre.
Its exterior is striking, lavishly decorated in brick and terracotta. The interior has a largely intact auditorium, of stalls, circle and gallery. The balcony fronts, proscenium arch and coved ceiling are elaborately decorated with plaster swags and other decoration.
An early Strand lighting rig, and several early carbon arc projectors and follow spots within the projection room, add to the theatre's special interest.
The intactness of this building, combined with its lavish decoration and early lighting equipment, means it meets the criteria of architectural and historic interest in a national context and fully merits inclusion on the statutory list.

Development Co-operation Report 2012
Lessons in Linking Sustainability and Development
The Development Co-operation Report is the key annual reference document for statistics and analysis on trends in international aid. This year, the Development Co-operation Report 2012 seeks to provide insights into how to address today's sustainable development challenges, with a focus on inclusiveness and good governance to ensure that our finite resources are equitably distributed, now and in the future.
Sharing finite resources among a growing number people – and consumers – is a critical challenge. It is in this spirit that J. Brian Atwood, Chair of the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), invited several intellectual leaders on the challenges of inclusive, sustainable development to contribute to this year's report.

Challenging development co-operation post-Rio +20
This final chapter examines the implications of the Rio +20 Conference for development co-operation. The outcome document of Rio +20 – The Future We Want – outlines a plan to set global sustainable development goals (SDGs) and other measures to strengthen the management of environmental and natural resources, combat poverty, and promote a green economy paradigm for all. The statement reiterates the importance of natural capital and its value in achieving sustainable development. It advocates a more encompassing approach to promote development, while recognising poverty reduction as a continuing major challenge. Furthermore, it calls for a financing strategy, accompanied by technical assistance and capacity development, to ensure adequate support to developing countries. Achieving the sustainable development mission requires actions from the public and private sectors and civil society alike. More voluntary commitments, like those launched at Rio +20, are necessary and welcome.For development co-operation actors, these outcomes imply new ways of thinking and operating. Among other things, development co-operation will need to:help establish SDGs as part of the post-2015 development framework and use them to guide future official development assistance (ODA) and other flows;mainstream green growth thinking into all areas of development co-operation and provide more timely and targeted support to meet the needs of different types of developing countries – from the poorest to those that are medium income and rapidly developing;inspired by the many voluntary commitments made at Rio, speed up more effective use of ODA and use it to partner with and to leverage other sources of finance for sustainable development;improve and accelerate the sharing of information, skills and technology to strengthen capacity and resilience in partner countries;support the adoption of natural capital accounting by developing countries in their decision-making processes, as well as its use by development co-operation agencies in their own aid investments.

Amanda Palmer made a video for "Do It With A Rockstar," which Wayne Coyne (who worked with a naked Amanda Palmer in the Flaming Lips video for "The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face") directed and appears in. Check out the expectedly ridiculous video below. And it's Amanda Palmer so it goes without saying that it's NSFW. You can read the video's backstory at Amanda's blog.
Foals have a new single, "Inhaler," and you can watch the video for that below.

So, this week's top tip Wednesday is all about Twitter Lists. It came up in a twitter conversation I had this week and so I thought I would use it as my first top tip and why they are good.
What are twitter lists
Well, a Twitter list is a list of people/users that you want to group together. Now, one question was about, isn't this the timeline? People in your timeline are already in your timeline list?
My analogy is this. Imagine Twitter as a club. Everyone is in this club (yes its a BIG club) and you may like to talk to some of them some of the time. However, a Twitter list is like a VIP section. Not everyone gets into this VIP section which means its easier to see and talk to people.
A list is a VIP section and you can have multiple VIP sections. You can have a list to have a collection of people that talk about a particular subject. You can then flick through each list and check out just those twitter timelines.
You can also make lists public or private. If they are public then anyone can see it and view it. Private lists are just for you – I use them to make sure I don't miss out on the posts that are important to me.
I recently came across the following quote
"If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be."
― Maya Angelou
This is my new goal in life. Not to conform to be normal, but to be amazing and I hope to inspire you to be amazing too.

As if you needed more reason to make sure your kids get enough exercise and not play XBox and east Doritos all day (both fine products, just not to be taken in tandem 10 hours a day), it seems like the fitter the child the better they do on standardized tests. Sure, some people question the value of the tests, but it's part of life and it's something that kids needs to perform well on. It's like getting a college degree, it's getting to the point that you need to do it.
Health.com reports:
The researchers evaluated almost 1,200 students, assessing their fitness in the fifth grade and then again in the seventh grade. They tested them in four subjects in seventh grade — reading, math, science and social studies — using standardized tests.
The researchers hypothesized that those children who maintained fitness over the two-year span would have the best test scores, and they were right.
I think there are many reasons that this seems to be true, including and overall bond between mind and body. I'm sure many of you know, when you are out of shape, you just feel poorly in most facets of your life. This seems to bear that out, even in kids. To read more, check out the article.

This publication presents a comprehensive review of the life and intellectual legacy of the Dutch Nobel Peace laureate and father of the Hague tradition of international law. It is the first research study based on a wealth of recently disclosed private and family files, and deepens and modifies all earlier evaluations. It enlarges on Asser's achievements as legal practitioner, university don, pioneer of private international law, diplomat and arbitrator, and State Councillor. It discusses his durable impact as founder of international law bodies and institutions. It likewise highlights the impressive Asser family tradition that exemplifies 19th-century Jewish emancipation in Amsterdam, addresses Asser's youth and student years, his role as family man and the impact of personal drama on his career.
In a recent article in the Netherlands international law review the author Arthur Eyffinger explains that Asser's role in the creation of L'Oeuvre de La Haye was pivotal. He launched a first journal of international law, co-founded the Institut and the International Law Association (ILA), initiated the Conférence de La Haye, helped materialize the PCA and fund the Peace Palace Library and the Hague Academy.
The book launch by the author took place in the evening of Thursday 29 August 2019 in a Joint panel of the Institute of International and the Royal Netherlands Society of International Law:
The Life and Work of Tobias Asser: what are their echoes in the 21st century?
The 79th Session of the Institut de Droit international has been organized at the Peace Palace in the Hague from 26th August - 31st August.
The IDI is committed to promoting the development of private and public international law. The 132 members meet in session once every two years. During the sessions, following deliberations, resolutions are adopted with proposals for the development and clarification of international law. The IDI was established in 1873 and is based in Geneva. Sessions of the IDI were also held in the Netherlands in 1875, 1898 and 1925 (The Hague) and in 1957 (Amsterdam).

Home > Pole Fitness > Strength > Sitting Pole Up Exercise
This exercise will help you build the core and upper body strength needed to do lifts, holds and spins.
Start the Sitting Pole Up exercise by sitting cross legged with your legs around your pole.
Sit close enough so that your body is almost touching it (if you have some extra "squishy bits" they might touch the pole and that's OK).
Next, reach your hands above your head, but not too high.Your elbows should be bent and your grip should be firm.
When you're ready, engage your core muscles (think of tightening up your stomach as though someone were about to punch you) then slowly lift your body off the floor. Focus on using your core and upper body strength.
Your feet will assist in the lift, so you won't be taking all your body weight on your arms.
However, avoid rotating your feet all the way so that the soles are on the floor. If you do this, you may push with your legs and lose most of the upper body benefit.
Just allow the edges of your feet to give you a little support and keep you balanced.
When done correctly, this exercise is quite challenging! Remember, how high you lift yourself doesn't matter as much as the fact that you get off the ground. If you can only lift half an inch at first, that's great! Keep at it and soon you'll be lifting higher.
Lift slowly and with control, keeping your core muscles engaged. Pause at the top of the movement (ie the highest you're able to lift yourself), then lower slowly and with control, all the way to the floor.
Now change your hands around so the other hand is on top, and repeat the lift.
Keep your body very close to the pole as you lift, make sure your pelvis remains tucked underneath you, and keep those core muscles engaged!
You may start out with only 1 or 2 lifts on each side, but as you get stronger, work up to 6 lifts on each side (12 lifts in total) before moving up to the Kneeling Pole Lift variation (this is explained in my pole exercises DVD).

Bitcoin wallets give you a mnemonic seed to write down and keep safe. This is usually 12 to 24 words from the BIP39 word list. But if you write it on paper, it is easily damaged by flood or fire. An improvement is "Cryptosteel"-type devices, which allow you to record the mnemonic seed in metal, such that it is recoverable in the event of flood or fire. I built one myself. Read more »

Some people want to transition to a cashless society. If that happens (and governments, at least, appear very keen to make that happen), we'll all be left with no way to pay each other without going through a third party payments company (banks, Visa, PayPal, etc.). This means people have no way to pay each other without asking permission from such a company, and being subject to censorship and surveillance at best, and the risk of the funds being stolen at worst.

I started accepting 0-conf Bitcoin payments, and it was great »
Wed 29 March 2017
Customers of SMS Privacy have been frustrated with long confirmation times for Bitcoin payments. Even though I only required 1 confirmation, it can still take a long time for that first confirmation if the transaction was accidentally sent with a fee that is too low. Instead of sending money and being able to use the service immediately, customers sometimes had to wait hours. This is immensely frustrating for a legitimate customer: you've sent the money, you're not trying to steal anything, why do you have to wait? Read more »

QML Map correct zoomLevel
Jano last edited by
Hi all,
I'm new in Qt development. I'm using QML Map element ( Qt Mobility 1.1 QML plugin ) to show map on the device. Everything works as expected, but i have one issue which i don't know how to resolve it and might need some correct directions/possible solution.
My problems is:
I have a map and some MapCircles ( some circles are shown on some coordinates. I will change that probably to Landmarks later ). I want to set correct zoomLevel to the map so that all Circles ( points ) will be visible?? Is there any algorithm to calculate that? Any better approach/solution?
In general: i just want to set corretct zoom level so that all landmarks/circles will be visible. Maybe is there tottally different approach to achive that?
Many thanks for any directions/help!
conny last edited by
I don't think there's a function available to do this using QML. At least in QtM 1.1 there wasn't. The C++ API has QGraphicsGeoMap::fitInViewport(). You can pass this method a bounding box and it will try zooming to fit the box into the viewport.
Not sure that will help you, but it's all I'm currently aware of.

The Beatles - I Wanna Hold Your Hand
Oh yeah I'll tell you something
I think you'll understand
When I say "that's something"
I wanna hold your hand...
This is really a staple of romantic love songs, I think. Nothing more romantic than holding hands, running away from danger, blowing things up...well, maybe at least the hand holding.
Frank Sinatra - Fly Me To the Moon (In Other Words)
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars
In other words
Hold my hand...
This is the sort of love song I can't help but put on a list like this. Planetary travel and handholding all in one song? Brilliant!
Bobby Darin - Beyond the Sea
Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing...
When you travel about as much as I do, it's...well, it's nice to think that someone might be waiting for you out there.
Julie Andrews - I Could've Danced All Night
I could've danced all night
I could've danced all night
And still have begged for more
I could've spread my wings and done a thousand things
I've never done before...
A classic, especially for French parties.
Bing Crosby - PS I Love You
Write to the Browns, just as soon as you're able
They came around to call
I burned a hole in the dining room table
And let me see...I guess that's all.
Nothing else for me to say and so I'll close, but by the way
PS: I love you...
I write a good number of letters to those I don't see anymore, and, well, I like this one. On top of that, I vaguely remember sending a holo-letter to Romana once about the dining room table...
Ella Fitzgerald - This Can't Be Love
This can't be love
Because I feel so well
No sobs, no sorrow, no sighs
This can't be love
I get no dizzy spells
My head is up in the sky...
Isn't it wonderful when it feels like this? Doesn't happen that often for me, sadly, but when it does.
Elvis Presley - Put The Blame On Me
If they say we were doing wrong
If they say we were out too long
You can say my arm was just too strong
Put the blame, put the blame on me...
You really can't have a love song list without the King on it, can you? I like this one because it's wonderfully devious, putting the blame on himself if others don't approve!
Barry Manilow - Somewhere Down The Road
Those dreams of yours are shining on distant shores
And if they're calling you away then I have no right to make you stay
But somewhere down the road our roads are gonna cross again
It doesn't really matter when...
Say enough goodbyes and this one becomes somewhat more emotional. Sappy! So, perfect.
Elton John - Your Song
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is now that you're in the world.
What? It's a good song! I knew a bloke named Elton once, too. Course, he was part of this LINDA group...
Queen - I'm In Love With My Car
The machine of a dream
Such a mean machine
With a pistons a-pumpin'
And the hubcaps all clean
When I'm holdin' your wheel..
The TARDIS needs love, too.
Goo Goo Dolls - Iris
I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now...
All right, this one is really rather sappy, isn't it? But, well, it's still a good song. Rather music-changing in the early 1990's, too. Influential! So, it belongs on this list for that if nothing else!
Thomas Newman - Define Dancing
I happen to really like this song. And the title is appropriate, too.
Amandine - Faintest of Sparks
Dragged through the mire and into the light
Did something selfish but you did what was right
Started a fire with the faintest of sparks
Sprung from the ashes of two empty hearts...
First, referencing two hearts is not a common thing in music! Granted, two hearts I imagine here are supposed to reference the two lovers in the song, but I can take it and interpret it how I want, can't I? Of course I can! I'm the listener! I have interpretation rights!
The Music - Into The Night
I decided long ago
I was gonna be with you
And into the night we both will go
And we'll find our own way...
I dug this song out of Rose's collection. I happen to like it. I'm allowed to like it!
Right! That's all! I'm done!
OOC: Could this have been more difficult? Jeez! BUT! Speaking of music! galeforcehero made a fantastic Ten/Dorothy fanmix here! Go check it out!

Hey everyone!!
So in honor of International Women's Day which juust passed us, I wanted to do a Part 2 to a post I really loved writing not too long ago! I could go on about all of the kickass women in movies, books, shows, music and general pop culture popping up in the passed fee years but for today, here are —
6 More Heroines I'd Love to go on an Adventure With!
. . .
Aloy (Horizon: Zero Dawn)
I have been loving playing Aloy, a fiery girl who started out as an outcast among her people for not having a mother. Aloy trains hard as a kid to join a competition where the young in her tribe have to prove themselves as warriors. The winner gets whatever they want and all Aloy wants are the secrets of her birth and family. Not only is she a bad-ass fighter, but she's noble, brave and inspiring. My favourite parts of the game were roaming around the wild universe with Aloy as she experiences a world she was never allowed to see before or what she makes of different tribes. Just like you, Aloy is seeing this whole world for the first time too and it's so cool!
Two + Five (Dark Matter)
Okay this is a sliight cheat because it's two people but I couldn't pick one without the other!! I've been totally obsessed with the show Dark Matter lately – especially the characters Two and Five. The premise of the show is 6 people who wake up on a space ship with a bunch of sketchy cargo and no recollection of who they are or why they're there. Usually space-related genres aren't my cup of tea but i love this universe and it's characters! Two is a strong and capable heroine who never needs (or wants) to be saved..even when she's literally on her death bed because yes, she'll still find a way to conquer that mountain herself.
Five is the youngest of the ship at sixteen years old and her actress (Jodelle Ferland) is actually the reason I wanted to see the show so bad! Five is a genius with tech and though she started off as a member who tended to hang back, this turquoise-headed addition to the team has proved to save her crew more than once by stepping up and in general, being one of the gustiest of The Raza ship!
Inej (Six of Crows)
I've only just started reading Six of Crows but at the moment I'm LOVING Inej. Her ability, to remain unseen, seems so cool and even just her name (The Wraith) is bad-ass. I already see how tender she is, caring for the quiet Kaz, despite all the noot so welcoming rumours that protect him like a wall. Her ability + her smarts seem like she'd make a really cool partner!
Claire Fraser (Outlander)
I've talked about how much I love Claire Fraser – not just in my book reviews – but literally in every space I can fit her in on this blog so of course she had to be on this list too! Claire, while not some classically trained warrior or ninja or magician, is strong in the most human of ways. She adapts quickly when she lands herself back in time rather than freaking out, or waiting to be rescued by someone else. She always attempts to save those she loves no matter how absolutely crazy it is. And as a talented surgeon, she never says no to the wounded. I just love her and her mind. She's a strong female lead who never let's someone tell her she can't because by hell she will whether you like it or not xD
Raven (The 100)
And lastly, I had to mention Raven Reyes from The 100, a kick-ass addition to SkiKru. She's not only lovable (if you ignore the prickliness) but she's loyal and will put her life on the line for her crew. I loved her from the moment we met her but after suffering from an injury that leaves one of her legs permanently weak, I felt like she became even more of a bad-ass.
. . .
So those were my picks for 6 Heroines I'd like to go on an adventure With..pt.2 Do you agree with any of these ladies I chose? Who would you choose to go on a quest to save the world with? Let me know in the comments down below!
PS. Don't forget to check out Part 1 of the post here!
Have an awesome weekend everyone!

James Bond (and Daniel Craig) back on the job with 'Skyfall'
LOS ANGELES — James Bond will be back in U.S. theaters in November 2012 with "Skyfall," the 23rd film in the venerable spy franchise and the third installment starring Daniel Craig as 007.
Shooting began Thursday for the film that will mark the film franchise's 50th anniversary, although the fans who made "Dr. No" a hit back in 1962 might barely recognize the hero in his current taciturn mode. Still, at a news conference in London, director Sam Mendes assured reporters and fans that he will keep the adrenaline pumping in an aging brand that was revitalized with Martin Campbell's "Casino Royale" in 2006.
"It, I think, has all the elements of a classic Bond movie, including, to quell any rumors, a lot of action," said the filmmaker, whose credits include "American Beauty," "Jarhead" and "Road to Perdition."
The new film will also star Javier Bardem as the villain and brings back Judi Dench as Bond's no-nonsense boss, M. The cast also includes Albert Finney, Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris and Bérénice Marlohe. "Skyfall" is a new adventure — it's not based on any specific work by author Ian Fleming — and it will reflect the style of the past two 007 films but take a step away from their story arc.
James Bond is the most storied spy of them all, but he faces plenty of rivals these days in the cinema of geo-political peril. A new "Mission: Impossible" entry will hit theaters next month, for instance, and "The Bourne Legacy" is on tap for next summer with Jeremy Renner taking over for Matt Damon as the face of the franchise.

Whilst I have used soldering stations at work etc, up until now I have made do with just standard plugin irons at home with varying degrees of success. As I have started to do more electronics of late I decided it was time to purchase a soldering station for use at home and maybe take to fizzPOP.
Having decided to purchase a soldering station, I have spent the last few months reading many blog's and watched many YouTube videos trying to make my mind up on what soldering station to buy. I quickly discounted the cheaper options from the likes of Maplin but equally decided it was not worth spending a fortune on features I was never going to benefit from. In the end I decided my budget was £100 - £150 pounds. For which I was looking for a 50w iron, with a 200c to 450c temperature range and with separate iron tips and heater element.
I soon narrowed my search to either the Hakko FX-888D or the Weller WES51. I had at first wanted to go with the Hakko FX-888 as I prefer an analogue knob for temperature control but unfortunately it has been discontinued. I was drawn to the Weller WES51 because it had analogue control but in the end I have opted for the 888D mainly due to its slightly higher power at 65w and its all round great review online.
The next problem was finding someone who sold it, which was a lot harder than I expected. A quick search on eBay found them available for around £65 pounds which seemed a bit too good to be true and like most things that seem too good too be true it was. It would appear that there is a real problem on the market with counterfeit Hakko equipment. In the end I emailed Hakko and they sent me the details of there two UK resellers, Grosvenor Group and Dancap Electronics.
Neither site left me with much of a urge to contact them. Grosvenor seemed to be aimed at much larger clients and had no pricing and the Dancap site looked as though it was styled 20 years ago. Despite the basic styling I ended up contacting Dancap and was really glad I did, the customer service was excellent and Paul was happy to talk through options and make suggestions. The only slightly odd thing for this day and age was that they don't accept credit card or Paypal so I ended up paying by bank transfer. In the end I spent £144.52 on the solder station, iron, a few tips and delivery, which was at the upper end of my budget but for once still within. My order arrived the next day and was very well packaged. I am certainly happy to recommend Dancap and I am sure I will order from them again in the future myself.
So what do I think of my new purchase, Well so far all I have had time to do is unpack and check it heats up but things are looking promising. The iron feels nicely balanced in the hand and I really like the way the iron sits in the stand. The overall build quality seems to be very good but only time will tell, as soon as I get around to using it I will let you know how I get on.

As for me, it makes a dozen years when I am interested in the story of this lost city and when I dedicate a big part of my searches to the study of the permanent presence of the Incas in Amazonian forest, realizing every year several expeditions.
Graduaded of the university François Rabelais of Tours (France E.U.) in History and Geography (DEUG of History & Geography, License of History & Geography, Masters of Modern History) and of the university of Toulouse le Mirail (France E.U.) in History & Archaeology (DEA of Studies on the Latin America), my interest for this history was born there are about twenty years following the discovery of curious satellite photos. They had been realized in December, 1975 in the southeast of Peru by an American satellite of observation of the Earth (ERTS), Landsat II. We had located on some of them a kind of immense "amphitheatre", placed at the feet of a mountain of average height, inside which the mysterious "dots", symmetrically arranged, seemed to indicate the presence of an unknown archeological site. In full virgin forest ! And in this zone where exactly we look for, for fifty years, the lost city.
In the bend of the years '70/ '80, reconnaissance planes had noticed that these famous "dots" in question were, really, gigantic pyramids, situated at the feet of this mountain, the Sierra Baja of Pantiacolla (in quechua language, Pantiaj Colla means "the place where gets lost the princess").
The set was four kilometers long, and, for what I was able to notice myself during various later flyings with the Air Force of Peru, we count approximately 22 "pyramids", of which some have 150 to 200 meters. There are the other semicircular or rectangular formations of big sizes in the same perimeter. In the time (1979-1980), the set thus let think of an immense sanctuary, even a whole city, gobbled up in the jungle. Here hid maybe the rests of an ancient Inca city. Maybe even the vestiges of Paititi, the queen of the South American lost cities.
With my accomplice Herbert Cartagena, a French-Peruvian explorer, discoverer, in 1979, with his wife Nicole, of a small Inca city, Mameria, situated to the West of the "pyramids", I organize several expeditions in this region, between 1998 and 2005, to bring a definitive answer to the mystery of pyramids, old man then of about twenty years.
In a a little bit general way, it is about expeditions that we make at first there with 4X4, since Cusco, the ancient inca capital, situated in the South of Peru, in the Andes Cordillera, until some pueblos situated in the margins of the Amazonian forest, on the other side of the mountain range. We cross then passes in 5.000 meters, in the direction of the Amazonian plain, by following an old passable runway. Then, towards the end of this runway, we leave the 4X4 to embark on dugouts with engines (peque-peque). We so go back up streams, farthest possible, through the forest. Until the moment when we have to continue on foot, with all the logistics on the back. And we use machete to progress through the jungle, up to the zones which we want to investigate.
And so we managed to reach these famous "pyramids", in August, 2001, after several fruitless attempts. In this time, we cannot investigate that a small part of the site. Because the vegetation is there so dense, the relief so chaotic and the set is so vast as it turns out difficult to investigate everything at one time. We succeed nevertheless in drawing some conclusions and to formulate some hypotheses.
At first, these "pyramids", certain authors of which did not hesitate to make an Egyptian or atlante city, even an extraterrestrial (!) base, are really of natural origin and we found no city in their foot. They constitute a relatively rare case in geology, the result of a phenomenon of catastrophic erosion known under the name of "teeth of the devil", or formations in "chevrons". However, some of them appear to have been worked by the man.
We discover, indeed, during expeditions realized the next years, an impressive quantity of Inca objects, giving evidence of the presence of the Sons of the Sun in this zone put off by Peru, virgin of any archaeological investigation. We bring to light various stone machetes, in military usage, others in metal, champi. The one of them is apparently domestic use and gives to think that she can result only from a permanent establishment..
The inhabitants of the forest, the Machiguengas, consider these "pyramids" as a big sanctuary of the "Ancient". They give to this site the name of Paratoari. They speak to us about the presence of socabones, or tunnels, in some of them, and someone would lead straight ahead in the mountain. They also use, in everyday life, objects of a priceless value, seeming to indicate the presence, near, of an important city.
I discover one day, in a nearby community of the "pyramids", a magnificent inca mortar, discovered by a young Indian in a river situated in the North of Paratoari. A considerable quantity of archaeological material is regularly reported by this stream, the Rio Negro, which takes his source on the other side of the sierra of Pantiacolla.
Over the years, I acquire the conviction of a narrow link between the "pyramids" of Paratoari and the important Inca city of which I suspect now the presence a few kilometers away from there, maybe on the other side of the mountain. The purpose of the expeditions which are then going to be linked, between 2003 and 2005, will exactly be to localize this famous city.
We know, indeed, the interest of the Incas and the numerous South American cultures for mountains, emanations of the goddess Pachamama, the Earth Mother. Certain mountains are today still considered in countries Andean as natural powers, which we call apus. The pyramidal shape played, besides, a key role in the cosmogony of the Andean peoples. It is the case of Machu Picchu. This famous site, discovered in 1911, is overhung by three conical mountains, or pyramidal, among which the most famous and the highest are the Huayna Picchu. It is not certainly a fate. From then on, let us imagine a place, known for the Incas, where would raise themselves about twenty Huayna Picchu...
During an expedition realized in July, 2002, I locate, to the feet of the "pyramids", several cyclopean stony blocks, indubitably of Inca origin. It is a question it seems of "piedras cansadas or "tired stones", cut fashionably Inca and abandoned along the way for an indefinite reason. The size of these stones gave us to think that they were intended for the construction of big buildings, such as those of Cusco, Pisac or Machu Picchu.

Extra PunctuationThe Summer of Arcade SucksExtra Punctuation - RSS 2.0
As many readers should know already, Zero Punctuation tends to be a couple of weeks behind the release schedule just because that's about as long as it takes to play the game and make the video. At the time I made last week's Xbox Summer of Arcade round-up, only the three games were out, Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD, Wreckateer and Deadlight. Well, since then two more titles have bubbled up from the Summer of Arcade ceremonies, which we might as well take a look at here before I write this year's output off as a total disappointment. Not that it's done anything right. The Summer of Arcade is for the first time being referred to as the Winter of Arcade here in Oz, so if nothing else at least Microsoft has finally started acknowledging that whole hemisphere thing.
I suppose what's put a bad taste in my mouth about the whole Summer of Arcade this year is that it's looking less like a showcase of innovative indie concepts and more a faintly desperate parade of miniature imitations of what the Xbox is usually about, a thing that is to the hideous bloat of triple-A gaming what the Muppet Babies were to the regular Muppets. First Tony Hawk to evoke the very beginnings of the Playstation and the modern shift of gaming to appeal to the cooler, dumber kids, and then a Kinect game to illustrate the horrible directions things have been taking more recently. And no diorama of modern gaming would be complete without that symbol of mediocrity, the powered armor space marine cover shooter. Preferably multiplayer-focussed.
Hence Hybrid, the fourth release. Generic title, generic game. Well, that's not entirely fair, it is innovative for a cover-based shooter in that you can only move in cover, and from one piece of cover to another. You might think that sounds like taking the piss, but I kind of like the cutting out the middleman approach. Streamlining is how you get closer to the essential fun of things, I find. So if all you want to do is shoot the enemies and not have to worry about the fine details of moving around, or if you're the kind of person who keeps pressing the "go into cover" button one too many times and ends up standing gormlessly around in enemy fire getting a few additional nostrils installed, then here's the game for you.
Not that Hybrid isn't a load of old bollocks. I didn't play it for very long because (A) it was the trial mode and I'd sooner spend money on bubble gum and (B) my inferior Australian latency made the game essentially unplayable, but I was playing long enough to see that the visuals are a complete mess. I only knew that a random over-detailed vaguely industrial-looking thing against a background of over-detailed vaguely industrial-looking things was something I was supposed to be shooting because a name was superimposed over it in red text, and if that's all I'm going on then I might as well be playing a fucking text adventure.
And the other big thing about Hybrid is that - Mass Effect 3 style - every online battle you fight in is part of a larger global conflict whose outcome pushes the victory percentage a small increment in favor of the reds or the blues. Which prompts the obvious question: "Who the fuck cares?" Both sides are exactly the same. Listen, when you join a Team Fortress 2 server, which team do you join? You join the one that's losing or has less players, don't you. No-one except absolute shitheads insists on being red or blue because they're loyal to the color. The only way anyone could have a preference would be because of story reasons and Hybrid is multiplayer only, so there is no story. Bad idea, bad execution, bish bash bosh and move on.

Just like any article you would read on the internet, herpes is a viral infection that infects the mouth, lips, nose, eyes, chin, genital, and rectal regions. There are two types of herpes simplex virus, HSV1 and HSV2. HSV1 is the virus that causes fever blisters or cold sores while HSV2 usually causes genital herpes.
There are numerous natural remedies to treat herpes virus and lessen its outbreaks. Here are additional natural remedies to lessen the itching and pain and speed up the healing process.
1. You should manage your stress. Stress is known to trigger outbreaks of herpes. To relieve your stress, you can have a massage therapy, meditation, breathing exercises, and yoga. Anything that can make you relaxed!
2. Herbal remedies for treating herpes virus.
- To soothe the itching, aloe vera is very helpful. It can also speed up the healing process.
- Lemon balm is another herb that can fight against herpes.
- Goldenseal carries an antibiotic property that has the ability to treat herpes
- Tea tree oil is another option for treating herpes virus
3. You should stay away from foods that are rich in arginine and increase intake of Lysine instead. Foods that are rich in lysine are brewer yeast, meat, milk, pears, papaya, apples, potatoes, lima beans, eggs, and cheese. Foods that are rich in arginine are gelatin, lobster, pine nuts buckwheat, beef, macadamia nuts, peacans, corn, onions, brown rice, pumpkin seeds, wheat flour, grain cereals, beer, cola, chocolate, and pumpkin.
4. Stay away from foods that contain aspartame. Aspartame is known as an artificial sweetener. Make sure that you check the label before buying foods from the grocery store. These foods are proven to trigger herpes outbreaks.
5. Avoid physical contact or touching the infected skin area the time you start seeing symptoms like burning, itching, and tingling until the herpes have healed completely.
6. If you make physical contact with an infected area, immediately wash your hands with warm water and disinfectant soap. This will kill the herpes virus and prevent it from spreading.

Horror: Preying on Neighbours
As a general rule, I'm pretty hard on anyone who has appeared for any length of time in an Australian Soap-Opera. And, in my opinion, it's deservedly so: Soap-Operas around the world are, for the most part, the arse-end of television.
Sure, sometimes they do end up kick starting the career of a potential star: Salma Hayek, Demi Moore, Tommy Lee Jones, Julianne Moore, Richard Dean Anderson, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alec Baldwin all got their start on shows like 'The Doctors' and 'General Hostpital' – And sure, the odd Aussie Soap star has made good too: Kylie and Hugh jackman spring to mind, and the EOL favourite Rose Byrne is well on her way. However for the most part appearing in an Aussie soap is, as it should be, something of a black hole when it comes to retaining any credibility as far as the *discerning* public is concerned.
I'm not saying that getting your start on a soap is anything to be looked down on. I mean, if anything, anyone with the ability and determination to 'make it' as a performer after appearing in a Soap (Australian or otherwise) should be applauded. And I think it's a pretty safe bet that anyone who does 'make it' understands one simple principal of entertainment: Give the people what they want.
I would have never guessed it, but former Neighbours tongue twister and singer for the not totally unlisten-to-able 'Rogue Traders', Natalie Bassingthwaighte may just understand the principal.
Bassingthwaighte is starring in an upcoming Australian horror, titled Prey. Also featuring Ben Kermode, Natalie Walker and Jesse Johnson the film — written by John Soto and George Miller, who also directs — tells the story of three couples who end up lost in the Australian desert… and as if that isn't bad enough to ruin your holidays, they soon find that they have become prey to some kind of mysterious force which can harness the elements of nature and take possession of the dead in order to get what it wants.
Something tells me that a movie featuring a former Neighbours starlet and a dude (Johnson) who's resume boasts an appearance in Nash Bridges being hunted through the desert is bound to be a success. Especially when you add the guy who directed 'Les Patterson Saves the World' to the mix… the man clearly knows horror! [source]

Taking off where Senator McCarthy should have left alone, we welcome McCarthy Ministries in full partnership with ODMafia. We also believe they if we suspect you of 'red' you are probably spiritually dead as well. In fact the only good commie is a dead commie.
How do we define commie?
1) You criticize capitalism
2) You criticize corporations
3) You think sharing your possessions is biblical.
4) You believe that Christians should be socially engaged in aiding the poor.
5) You are not troubled by the word 'social' in a sentence.
6) You believe that some form of universal health care could be beneficial.
If you detect any one of these attributes in ministry, friend, family or enemy REPORT them to us at once so that we might discernmentalize them immediately. Remember, we have FOURformidable foes battling the church today; Islam, Emergents, people who use candles in worship and Commies (remember this is absolute biblical truth). We must do our do diligence and fight these enemies. Remember, our weapons are of flesh and blood, in name calling and verbal attacks!
Stay with me friends…we must fight!

Iran rejects Trump's demand for imprisoned Americans' release
Tehran: Iran has rejected US President Trump's demand for release of detained Americans, describing it as an "interference and unacceptable stand", local media reported on Sunday.
"The meddlesome and threatening statements by the US would not affect the Iranian Judiciary's determination to prosecute and punish the violators of Iran's law and national security," Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi was quoted as saying by Tasnim news agency.
Qasemi stressed the independence of Iranian Judiciary, adding that it is responsible to deal with the actions and moves that threaten the national security.
He also said that the US administration is pursuing an incorrect and illegal approach of threatening other countries and interfering in their internal affairs.
The spokesman asked Washington to immediately release the Iranian nationals who have been jailed in the US on "false" charges.
On Friday, Trump warned Iran of "new and serious consequences" if Iran did not release the imprisoned Americans.
"President Trump is prepared to impose new and serious consequences on Iran unless all unjustly imprisoned American citizens are released and returned," said the White House in a statement.
The US statement followed earlier remarks by an Iranian Judiciary official that an Iranian court has sentenced a US national to 10 years in prison over spying charges.
The person who holds dual nationality of the US and another country had snooped into Iran to gather documents and intelligence, Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejeie, spokesman for Iranian Judiciary, told the reporters.
Iran has sentenced several such nationals, some of them hold US citizenship, over spying charges in the past few years.
The latest example dates back to September 2016, when Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced the arrest of an Iranian-American in the country's northeastern province of Golestan over charges of spying and breaching security.
In August 2016, Iran reportedly arrested another person, also with dual citizenships, accusing him of links to Britain's foreign intelligence service MI6.

There was no specific Borg language, per se; since the knowledge of a lifeform was assimilated when it became part of the Collective, then all Borg knew the languages of every drone.
Despite this, the Borg used an alphanumeric code as their written language and for encoding and transmitting data throughout the Collective. This language consisted of circular symbols with geometric shapes cut out of them. These symbols could be seen on various control panels, labels, and viewscreens within Borg structures. It was written in many different directions: in horizontal lines going from left to right and right to left, and vertically. As the name suggests, the symbols represented both alphabetic characters that represented sounds, and numbers, with much Borg terminology comprising alphanumeric sequences.
The code was immensely complex and consisted of at least fifty characters and was stored, among other places, in data nodes. Despite its complexity, other species could learn it. (VOY: "Revulsion", "The Raven")
