Valentine's Day is to holidays what Donald Trump is to American politics – downright divisive. In fact, we can practically hear you from the Savoir Flair office. Some of you are groaning, and some of you are giddy. The one thing about today, however, that we can all agree on? Chocolate. And lots of it.
To that end, we reached out to the experts at Forrey & Galland to discuss the weird and wonderful world of all things chocolate – and considering that the Dubai-based "haute couture chocolate house" is a revival of what was originally a luxury chocolatier established in Paris back in 1912, we knew we were in good hands. While the macarons at Forrey & Galland are a star attraction, it's the decadent range of chocolate that keeps loyalists coming back for more.
Here, French chocolate-making techniques are combined with regional flavors – tea, spices, premium Omani halwa, and even rose petals – to make for offerings that are almost impossible to find elsewhere. And if that wasn't enough, Forrey & Galland has put together 14 facts about chocolate to help you appreciate what February 14th is (mostly) about.

She is a Chartered Marketer (MCIM) and takes part in a programme of continuous professional development via the CIM.
More from Claire
On completion of my Masters I briefly dabbled in academia before making the decision to set myself up as an independent and freelance marketer based in a place that I love living; Pembrokeshire, in West Wales.
I work closely with a range of businesses both near and far geographically – including attractions, experience providers and PR agencies. Location really isn't an issue – as long as you enjoy Skype and the joys of communicating with those in different time zones!
I'm a consumer behaviour obsessive and a big fan of qualitative research, I'm fascinated by consumer motivations, values and decision making. In 2009 I co- authored a paper on ethical consumers and their flying behaviours which was presented at the Academy of Marketing conference. I love to use client data and insight to shape market offerings and marketing communications, and I'll encourage you at all stages to 'listen' carefully to what your clients and potential clients are saying about you, your competitors, and your marketplace. I can offer simple qualitative and quantitative market research to aid you in your business' decision making processes.
I'm an SEO aficionado, but also enjoy working with organisations on most areas of digital marketing – from IA planning, Google AdWords, considering website usability and user experience, through to making sense of analytics. As a qualified generalist marketer I'm happy to provide input into most areas of small and medium sized business marketing, and I have access to a super network of passionate and experienced specialist marketers who are also able to advise on digital PR and strategic communications related matters.
When I'm not working you can find me running on the Pembrokeshire coast path and generally making the most of the glorious Pembrokeshire coast and countryside.
So that's me – what about you? I'd love to hear more about your business and what you're hoping to achieve on the internet. If you're looking to improve the efficacy of your online presence in line with your marketing and business objectives, then please contact me. If you're thinking 'gawd, I don't even know how my marketing objectives fit in with my business objectives' then contact me too, I'd be happy to help!

Lady Scribes Welcomes Zoe Dawson!
11 comments:
Welcome Zoe! I'm indulging a tradition right now, traveling to visit family, but I'm glad to have you at Lady Scribes.ReplyDelete
Leashed and the new series sounds fantastic. Best of luck with it!
Thanks Deb! It's great to be here.ReplyDelete
Welcome to Lady Scribes, Zoe! We're so pleased to have you! My holiday traditions are traveling--which I dislike. A lot. However, since all our family is three states away, it won't be changing soon. ;] Hope your Holidays were beautiful!ReplyDelete
I love the Eeyore ornament! My holiday tradition is to listen to A Christmas Carol on audiobook. It always gets me in the holiday mood. I loved "Leashed" and look forward to reading the rest of the series!ReplyDelete
Thanks Andris. I'm not a big fan of traveling either. I like the cozy feel of home. Have safe travels!ReplyDelete
Jennifer - the Eeyore ornament is a so cute, but I'm partial to Tigger. I'm glad you loved "Leashed". "Groomed for Murder," the second book in the series is uploading as I type this. Happy Holidays!ReplyDelete
Hi Zoe! Welcome to LadyScribes! Every year as I decorate my Christmas tree, I go on a little trip down memory lane. I have ornaments from nearly every vacation I've ever had with my son. So as we decorate the tree, we talk about those trips and how much fun we had.ReplyDelete
Love your ornaments. They're very cute. (My favorites, too, are the ones my son made when he was younger.
Ava - Yes, that's exactly my experience. We reminisce about almost every ornament we put on the tree. It's nice to have that history. And we love everything our kids do, lol. It's the mommy in us.ReplyDelete
Welcome to Lady Scribes, Zoe. Thanks for sharing all those ornaments. My favorite ornaments are the ones my kids made or rather make every year. :ReplyDelete
Best wishes on your upcoming release!
Thanks Marquita! Great to be here. I'm watching Amazon and B&N for the "published" notice like a hawk.ReplyDelete
Hi, Zoe!ReplyDelete
I love the reindeer ornaments. how simple and how creative.
Can't wait for the Groomed for Murder dog book. Loved Leashed!

DP World Limited has agreed upon acquiring Maher Terminal's Fairview Container Terminal (Fairview), that is located in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada. The company is to acquire the terminal in question from Deutsche Bank.
Photo: RupertPort
Fairview is a purpose constructed terminal that has an established sea-rail link and is capable of handling 850,000 TEU (twenty-foot equivalent container units). It was also announced recently that a phase two expansion operation will be carried out in order to increase the capacity level to 1.35 million TEU.
The current concession period is to run up to 2034, and there is an extension in place for it to proceed to 2056 after phase two is completed.
The total consideration payable is in the amount of CAD580 million (US S457 million) for Fairview's total outstanding stock on a cash-free, debt-free basis.
The above-stated transaction's completion is to be put into compliance in order to receive all necessary Canadian regulatory approvals. Expectations are for it to happen at some point during 2015's second half.
DP World Limited has proven to be a significant investor when regarding Canada's market, noting the fact that the company operates the CENTERM terminal that is located in the Port Metro Vancouver.
"Fairview Container Terminal currently provides its clients with the fastest access possible for vessels that sail on routes between North America and Asia, the highest level of productivity when regarding the West Coast and a proper and sufficient rail-based link to the hinterland. Given the long-term concession along with the ability to go even farther than the current expansion phase 2, we have created a splendid opportunity for the company to develop even more. We are proud to announce this current transaction and have set our sight on further enhancements to port operations," commented DP World Group Chief Executive Officer, Mohammed Sharaf.

Gem Theater
524 Hampshire Street,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Showing 3 comments
And the Glenn Theatre, opened in 1910 as the Colonnade, was at 520 Hampshire, so for a time there were three small theaters in a row, with the Savoy in the middle. I wonder if there are any photos of the row somewhere?
Joe, I found a reference that a Peter Jacobs, former police chief of Springfield, Il opened the Savoy and Gem at 522 and 524 Hampshire. There are also references to both of these properties changing hands a number of times.
This house might have been called both the Savoy and the Gem at various times, but there were houses of those names operating simultaneously in Quincy at one point. A book called Quincy and Adams County History and Representative Men, published in 1919, tells of Peter E. Pinklemann, a transplant from Philadelphia, who "…bought four theaters in Quincy, and now owns the Gem, the Savoy, the Princess and the Family, all popular and well patronized houses, furnishing a large share of the daily entertainment and amusement for Quincy people."

Dear Diary,
I am very proud of myself! I became China's first female astronaut!
In the previous 21-hour flight, I was agreeably surprised. Why do I say so? When the rocket launched into space, I was looking forward and hoped to reach the space. And this is my dream. Although I had already familiar with the space environment and live in space from the different training, in that moment (arrived the space), my heart was filled with joy. I felt the mysteries of space! This feeling could not be found in elsewhere. That was very amusing!
It turned out that cosmic was so wonderful! In these 21-hour flights, I experienced the most memorable moments of life. However, these 21-hour flights, it was exchange of innumerable hardships of training. Although the training process was extremely hard for me, I thought it was very worthwhile.
Relying on my efforts and perseverance, I was finally able to reach my dream. Said the same as Steve Job, 'the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do'.
Who says Chinese women cannot become an astronaut? China's aviation industry has developed rapidly, the next one I expect to become China's first female astronaut that walking on the moon!

Script Adherence With EVS
Traditionally, the auditing process for script adherence has been manual and time consuming, relying on a few call samples across multiple business units. The voice channel in your business creates hundreds of conversations a day, but of these conversations, do you know how many scripts were adhered to accurately?
With EVS™, both sides of every single conversation that occur across your business can now be analysed and audited automatically – no more trying to find the needle in the haystack.
Using EVS for script adherence:
Improve script adherence: Monitor every call and conversation, not just a sample; accurately and quickly identify script issues without having to listen to each call recording.
Enhance staff training: Identify staff that need further training with script adherence by quickly pinpointing real life examples.
Script refinement: Identify situations where scripts need refinement and support calibration sessions with actual evidence at rapid speed.
Improve customer service: Identify scripts that customers find objectionable or confusing and improve them for maximum potential.
Stronger compliance culture: Instill a strong culture of compliance with greater vigilance, tighter script adherence and better trained staff.
Automation: Automate manual script adherence processes.
Interested in finding out more about how EVS can integrate into your business? Get in touch.

I think woodworking would be the worst hobby ever for me. I am definitely a cut first, measure afterwards, curse, re-cut later type of person. I am still fascinated with it, though. Furniture is so expensive, who can even afford it new? Who wants to? I'd rather take a vacation to somewhere warm, for roughly the same cost.
BUT – wait! For those of you who are disciplined and skilled enough to build it yourself, you have to check this out. And then make one for me, please.
For an estimated $100 – $150 you can make this via Ana-white.com.
This one from Dangerously Domestic Jen might even be more awesome than the original is.

The following text is derived in part from My Success Journal, a new book by Ron A. Rhoades, JD, CFP(r). This workbook contains 12 weeks of exercises designed to propel college students to success ... in college, in business, and in life. Available at Amazon.com. (Students of Ron Rhoades receive this workbook for free.)
What Can Sleep Do for You in College?
With adequate sleep, you will feel energized and focused. Your grades will improve. You will be more vibrant and alive. You'll smile more. More people will say about you, "Wow, I'd really like to get to know that person." You'll secure more dates!
That's right ... as counter-intuitive as it sounds: More Sleep = More Sex!
The Dire Consequences of Insufficient Sleep
Sleep is an important key to health, wellness, cell growth, memory formation, mental agility, physical performance, and peace of mind. You name it and sleep can improve it. Insufficient sleep can have serious and sometimes fatal consequences for themselves and others around them. For example, an estimated 20% of vehicle crashes are linked to drowsy driving.
Short sleep duration is associated with various adverse health effects (e.g., cardiovascular disease or obesity), decreased workplace and public safety, and impaired job performance. Being drowsy during a job interview will usually result in a short interview. And, of course, appearing drowsy during a conference with a prospective client, or at a networking event, can easily convey the wrong impression concerning you and your abilities.
How Much Sleep Does a College Student Need?
The National Sleep Foundation recommends that healthy adults sleep 7–9 hours per day. For college students the recommended amount of sleep is 9 hours 15 minutes for the average college student, to be fully engaged in all of your classes, and for maximum learning. (Most college students possess overconfidence in their abilities, and hence substantially underestimate how much sleep they require.)
Yet, 30% of civilian employed U.S. adults (approximately 40.6 million workers) reported an average sleep duration of less than or equal to only 6 hours per day, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
Advice from Your Fellow Students
Don't believe me? Here's some advice from your fellow students about getting enough sleep:
- "While it may sound self-explanatory, in our freshman year it took some of us some time to realize that he or she needed to get a good night's sleep. Once one's sleep each night increased, so did one's GPA."
- "Regardless of how much you might personally need, you will have a hard time concentrating in class – and learning – if you are drowsy. Also, your ability to retain facts in memory is greatly enhanced when you get enough sleep."
- "If you get plenty of rest, you will have more energy to make it to every class on time, and to do all of the readings and assignments."
To manage all your time better, get more sleep. More sleep will also lead to you being nicer, more attractive, and generally more awesome.
And yes, more sleep can even lead to greater socialization ... even more sex!

Microsoft Fuels Antitrust Battle with Google
(NEW YORK) -- Microsoft is making a last-ditch effort to get government regulators to crack down on Google.
The Windows company claims Google is abusing its dominance of online search, online video and the lucrative smartphone market. Microsoft also says Google has been unfairly squashing competition to the detriment of consumers.
Microsoft's claims come as regulators in the U.S. and Europe wrap up several probes into Google's business practices. Microsoft is worried Google will settle with the governments without having to make any major changes.
Microsoft Deputy General Counsel Dave Heiner wrote Wednesday in a blog post about Google's potential deal to ward off a lawsuit by the Federal Trade Commission.
"You might think that Google would be on its best behavior given it's under the bright lights of regulatory scrutiny on two continents, particularly as it seeks to assure antitrust enforcers in the U.S. and Europe that it can be trusted on the basis of non-binding assurances that it will not abuse its market position further," Heiner wrote. "However, as we enter 2013, that is not the case."
One example, Heiner highlights, is that Google still has not allowed Microsoft to offer a fully featured YouTube app for the Windows Phone. Microsoft has taken issue with Google's refusal to allow YouTube on the company's smartphone since at least 2011, according to the Wall Street Journal.
If Google can agree to make "'voluntary commitments' to reform its behavior," Heiner wrote, "the FTC may close its investigation," an outcome Microsoft hopes it won't see.
According to Heiner, any agreement between Google and the antitrust authorities "appears to be less demanding than the pledge the U.S. Department of Justice received from Apple and Microsoft nearly a year ago."

Mozart's Cosi Fan Tutte A Concert Opera
Fiordiligi - Danielle Talamantes Dorabella - Shirin Eskandani Guglielmo - Trevor Scheunemann Ferrando - Norman Shankle Despina - Arianna Zukerman Don Alfonso - Kenneth Kellogg
National Philharmonic Chorale Piotr Gajewski, conductor
Mozart's delightful and elegant opera buffa, Cosi fan tutte, unfolds a tale of mistaken identities, love, trust, deceit and final reconciliation. When two soldiers decide to test the love and faithfulness of their beloveds by pretending to go away but then appearing in disguise to observe their reactions, events unfold in ways unforeseen by the young lovers. This opera contains some of the Mozart's most beautiful music.

This range of nail strips by Sally Hansen are becoming fast favourites. They stay on for days and come in loads of different patterns and colours, most of which are excellent. Although every time I read the name of these Aztec ones, 'Out Of Line' I think of that Victoria Beckham and Dane Bowers single 'Out Of Your Mind', which then makes me think of The Office because they play that song when everyone goes to 'Chasers', the awful nightclub in Slough. David Brent gets very drunk and says terrible things to the friend of the woman he that day hired as his receptionist (and then accidentally headbutted).
But I don't think that's anything to do with Sally Hansen, and even if it was it's a nice memory as it also makes me think of Tim's descriptions of other Slough nightspots:
"There's New York, New York. They call it the nightclub that never sleeps. That closes at one".
So yeah, great nail strips!

Those of you who've been reading my editorials for some time may recall that I've written about some of the border and immigration challenges our country faces. Specifically, I've written about the confrontation between Hudspeth County (Texas) deputies and Mexican soldiers at the Rio Grande after the deputies pursued three drug-packed SUVs (March 2006). I've also written about the danger of an open border and asked that you contact legislators when it seemed they had turned their backs on the need to secure the borders (July, 2007). I feel very strongly about illegal immigration because like many of you, I've worked some fatal traffic accidents, investigated homicides, rapes and robberies perpetrated by illegal aliens.
Recently, while working on a technology project near the U.S./Mexico border, I had an opportunity to see our U.S. Border Patrol at work, and I was incredibly impressed. Although I had worked with Border Patrol agents in the past, it was always on my turf in a city environment and near the coast. In this case, it was the middle of August, and the temperature was over 115 degrees F. Any right-minded person would be looking for air-conditioning or shade with a big, ice cold drink in their hand, but these agents were laboring in the middle of the desert, an area every bit as challenging and dangerous as the meanest streets in the country. Unfortunately, their job is made all the more difficult by two significant dynamics:
1. Similar to the conditions faced by our military troops, it's often very difficult to tell the difference between innocents and the real villains; and
2. Politicians seldom have their backs.
I saw agents staffing checkpoints, dismantling a car thought to contain drugs, patrolling remote roads and walking through areas much more friendly to rattlesnakes and gila monsters than human beings. To be perfectly candid, I'm not really sure how they do it. One determined female agent said simply, "You do what you've gotta do."
As the sun began to set, I saw a scene reminiscent of Star Wars. Dwarfed by huge sand dunes, a Border Patrol truck moved across an expansive area, stopping at observation towers that were being lifted skyward. I couldn't help but wonder how different the desert sands were once the blazing sun was replaced by darkened skies.
I have a lot of respect for the agents of the U.S. Border Patrol and their parent agency, Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Recently, there was an excellent TV program produced by Chris Hanson (host of the "To Catch a Predator" series on NBC) regarding the job being done by CBP. The one-hour overview provides great insight to the challenges faced by the agency. You can access the entire broadcast at www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25999369/.
Although the border is virtually wide open in many areas, it does appear that progress is being made. A physical wall is being built along large stretches of the border, massive agent recruitment is underway, and the Border Patrol is using some of the latest surveillance technology, which can see across incredible distances. Notably, the number of criminal deportations has increased significantly. Although border security is a top concern, we must prioritize the removal of predatory illegal aliens who are already inside this country, such as the Mara Salvatrucha gang (MS-13), whose deadly impact has been so widespread that a nationwide sweep in 2005 resulted in the arrest of 700 gang members.
So, here's what you can do:
1. Determine your agency's policy regarding immigration. Some areas have bowed to political pressure and forbidden officers from working with the Border Patrol. If this is the situation you face, I encourage you to work within the system to effect change. Start by watching the above video and getting some facts as to the true mission of CBP. At a minimum, officers should be able to turn illegal alien lawbreakers over to the Border Patrol.
2. Develop a working relationship with the Border Patrol agents responsible for your area. You'll find them to be a wealth of information and capable of providing great insight to trends and troublemakers, and most of them are great translators.
The phrase, "front line of defense" has probably never applied to any agency more than the U.S. Border Patrol. They deserve our support.

Native Ad Trends
Posted on June 20, 2016
in Trends
According to a recent post on Business Insider, native ads, or those that take on or mimic the content surrounding them, will make up to 74% of and up from a 56% share in 2016–this according to data from the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) and PwC, as well as IHS.
Social sites such as Facebook and Twitter were early adopters of native formats and their dominance will likely continue as new technologies will make it easier for all publishers and advertisers to develop native campaigns.
"Native display ad revenue in the US will rise at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17% during this time period to eclipse $36 billion."

The most recent studies show that 1 in 3 women alive today will be diagnosed with some type of cancer in their lifetimes.
Don't rely on routine tests alone to protect you from cancer.
It's just as important to monitor and listen to your body and notice anything that's different, odd, or unexplainable.
In this article, we'll look at 12 tips to reduce your risk of cancer, 20 signs of cancer that are commonly overlooked, and what to do if you suspect you may have cancer…
Cancer Signs #1 – #6
Wheezing or shortness of breath
One of the first signs many lung cancer patients remember noticing is the inability to catch their breath.
Chronic cough or chest pain
Several types of cancer, including leukemia and lung tumors, can cause symptoms that mimic a bad cough or bronchitis. Some lung cancer patients report chest pain that extends up into the shoulder or down the arm.
Frequent fevers or infections
These can be signs of leukemia, a cancer of the blood cells that starts in the bone marrow. Leukemia causes the marrow to produce abnormal white blood cells, sapping your body's infection-fighting capabilities.
Difficulty swallowing
Trouble swallowing is most commonly associated with esophageal or throat cancer, and is sometimes one of the first signs of lung cancer, too.
Swollen lymph nodes or lumps on the neck, underarm, or groin
Enlarged lymph nodes indicate changes in the lymphatic system, which can be a sign of cancer.
Excessive bruising or bleeding that doesn't stop
This symptom usually suggests something abnormal happening with the platelets and red blood cells, which can be a sign of leukemia. Over time, leukemia cells crowd out red blood cells and platelets, impairing your blood's ability to carry oxygen and clot.
Cancer Signs #7 – #13
Weakness and fatigue
Generalized fatigue and weakness is a symptom of so many different kinds of cancer that you'll need to look at it in combination with other symptoms. But any time you feel exhausted without explanation and it doesn't respond to getting more sleep, talk to your doctor.
Bloating or abdominal weight gain
Women diagnosed with ovarian cancer overwhelmingly report unexplained abdominal bloating that came on fairly suddenly and continued on and off over a long period of time.
Feeling full and unable to eat
This is another tip-off to ovarian cancer; women say they have no appetite and can't eat, even when they haven't eaten for some time.
Pelvic or abdominal pain
Pain and cramping in the pelvis and abdomen can go hand in hand with the bloating that often signals ovarian cancer. Leukemia can also cause abdominal pain resulting from an enlarged spleen.
Rectal bleeding or blood in stool
This is a common result of diagnosing colorectal cancer. Blood in the toilet alone is reason to call your doctor and schedule a colonoscopy.
Unexplained weight loss
Weight loss is an early sign of colon and other digestive cancers; it's also a sign of cancer that's spread to the liver, affecting your appetite and the ability of your body to rid itself of wastes.
Upset stomach or stomachache
Stomach cramps or frequent upset stomachs may indicate colorectal cancer.
What is your ACTUAL risk of getting cancer?
You can find out in just 42 seconds: There is great online quiz over at The Truth About Cancer website. It's only 11 questions and when you finish you get a detailed report with lots of important information…

Cancer Signs #14 – #20
A red, sore, or swollen breast
These symptoms can indicate inflammatory breast cancer. Call your doctor about any unexplained changes to your breasts.
Nipple changes
One of the most common changes women remember noticing before being diagnosed with breast cancer is a nipple that began to appear flattened, inverted, or turned sideways.
Unusually heavy or painful periods or bleeding between periods
Many women report this as the tip-off to endometrial or uterine cancer. Ask for a transvaginal ultrasound if you suspect something more than routine heavy periods.
Swelling of facial features
Some patients with lung cancer report noticing puffiness, swelling, or redness in the face. Small cell lung tumors commonly block blood vessels in the chest, preventing blood from flowing freely from your head and face.
A sore or skin lump that doesn't heal, becomes crusty, or bleeds easily
Familiarize yourself with the different types of skin cancer — melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma — and be vigilant about checking skin all over your body for odd-looking growths or spots.
Changes in nails
Unexplained changes to the fingernails can be a sign of several types of cancer. A brown or black streak or dot under the nail can indicate skin cancer, while newly discovered "clubbing"– enlargement of the ends of the fingers with nails that curve down over the tips — can be a sign of lung cancer. Pale or white nails can sometimes be a sign of liver cancer.
Pain in the back or lower right side
Many cancer patients say this was the first sign of liver cancer. Breast cancer is also often diagnosed via back pain, which can occur when a breast tumor presses backward into the chest, or when the cancer spreads to the spine or ribs.

12 Tips to Reduce Your Risk of Cancer Now
As I said earlier, living an anti-cancer lifestyle now will help your body to stay healthy and in balance, and avoid developing cancer in the first place. Here are the top tips I recommend to start living your healthier lifestyle now…
1. Normalize your vitamin D levels by getting plenty of sunlight exposure and consider careful supplementation when this is not possible. If you take oral vitamin D and have a cancer, it would be very prudent to monitor your vitamin D blood levels regularly.
2. Reduce or eliminate your processed food, sugar and grain carbohydrate intake. Yes, this is even true for whole unprocessed organic grains, as they tend to rapidly break down and drive your insulin and leptin levels up, which is the last thing you need to have happening if you are seeking to resolve or prevent cancer.
3. Control your fasting insulin and leptin levels. This is the end result, and can be easily monitored with the use of simple and relatively inexpensive blood tests.
4. Normalize your ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fats by taking a high-quality animal-based omega-3 fat like krill oil and reducing your intake of most processed vegetable oils.
5. Get regular exercise. One of the primary reasons exercise works is that it drives your insulin levels down. Controlling insulin levels is one of the most powerful ways to reduce your cancer risks.
7. Eat according to your nutritional type. The potent anti-cancer effects of this principle are very much underappreciated. When we treat cancer patients in our clinic this is one of the most powerful anti-cancer strategies we have.
8. Reduce your exposure to environmental toxins like pesticides, household chemical cleaners, synthetic air fresheners and air pollution.
9. Limit your exposure and provide protection for yourself from radiation produced by cell phones, cell phone towers, base stations and WiFi stations.
10. Avoid frying or charbroiling your food. Boil, poach or steam your foods instead.
11. Have a tool to permanently reprogram the neurological short-circuiting that can activate cancer genes. Even the CDC states that 85 percent of disease is caused by emotions. It is likely that this factor may be more important than all the other physical ones listed here, so make sure this is addressed. One of the best approaches and my particular favorite tool is the Meridian Tapping Technique.
12. Eat at least one-third of your food raw. Personally my goal is 85% raw and I am usually able to achieve that.You won't read or hear much about these cancer-preventive techniques elsewhere because they have not been formally "proven" by conservative researchers. However, were you aware that 85 percent of therapies currently recommended by conventional medicine have never been formally proven either?

If You Suspect You Have Cancer, What Should You Do?
First and foremost I would suggest you seek the guidance of a knowledgeable natural health care practitioner. From there the choice is a highly personal decision but one I would urge you to keep an open mind on.Many people turn to conventional cancer treatments like chemotherapy because they think they are the ONLY option.
Well, there are other safer options to consider, including one that you may have in your kitchen pantry: baking soda.
Sodium bicarbonate delivers a natural form of chemotherapy in a way that effectively kills cancer cells — without the side effects and costs of standard chemotherapy treatments. The only problem with the treatment, according to Dr. Mark Sircus, is that it's too cheap. Since no one is going to make money from it, no one will promote it.
Dr. Simoncini's quite amazing experience has shown that 99 percent of breast and bladder cancers can heal in just six days, entirely without the use of surgery, chemo or radiation, using just a local infiltration device (such as a catheter) to deliver the sodium bicarbonate directly to the infected site in your breast tissue or bladder.You can watch actual before and after footage of the treatment working in this video.
Another such approach is Dr. Hamer's German New Medicine (GNM), which operates under the premise that every disease, including cancer, originates from an unexpected shock experience, and that all disease can be cured by resolving these underlying emotional traumas.
Dr. Hamer has spent time in prison for refusing to disavow his medical findings and stop treating his patients with his unorthodox techniques, and is currently living in exile, seeking asylum from persecution.
Make Sure Your Vitamin D Levels are in the Optimal Range
It is also very important for cancer patients to optimize their vitamin D levels into a high range, and you can find out the correct levels by watching my one-hour vitamin D lecture.
Calcitriol, the most potent steroid hormone in your body, is produced in large amounts in your tissues when you have sufficient amounts of vitamin D. However, most cancer patients are vitamin D deficient.
Calcitrol — the activated form of vitamin D — has been shown to protect against cancer by inducing cell differentiation and controlling cell proliferation. People with a low vitamin D level are less able to make activated vitamin D in an amount sufficient to exert the controls over cell proliferation that are needed to reduce cancer. Not only is this approach almost without any side effects, but the treatment is virtually free. So, again, if you have or suspect you have cancer please watch my free vitamin D lecture now to find out how to optimize your levels to the therapeutic range.

In April, 2009, researchers stunned the medical community when they reported chronic inflammation as the root cause of several major diseases.
See, every year 610,000 people in the U.S. die of heart disease. Cancer claims another 584,000...stroke 130,000...Alzheimer's disease nearly 85,000 — and the list goes on.
Truth is, we now know... chronic inflammation is responsible for 7 out of the top 10 leading causes of death in the United States! Hundreds of studies and scientific reviews prove it.
Fortunately, newer research shows you can prevent-even reverse-most major diseases by "turning off" inflammation. And in our new book, we show you how to do just that.
If you or a loved one is suffering from a debilitating condition-and you"re not sure what the culprit is-now's the time to find out...while you can still do something about it!

The #1 "bodyfat-eating" hormone...
To begin, I apologize for the dark nature of today's email.
However I promise what you'll discover today will be completely worth it.
Imagine a rotting corpse draped over your body from head to toe...
...suffocating tissue, restricting blood flow, damaging joints and infecting your healthy cells.
Shockingly, that nightmare is a reality for most:
64% of women and 74% of men carry too much body fat according to the National Institutes of Health.
It's choking their organs, assaulting their metabolism and sucking their energy dry.
But here's the worst part:
For most, this bodyfat has become "calorie-resistant":
It's completely unaffected by even the strictest diets... and most intense exercises.
This zombie fat is essentially... "dead tissue".
That's important for those who have 10, 25 or 50 or more pounds to lose...
AND for those who aren't technically overweight, but have what's called "pocket obesity"...
...unsightly patches of fat that cling to specific places, like:
just above your hips, lower belly, where your butt and legs meet... and even arms, neck and face.
However, there's good news:
Obesity researchers have now discovered a "metabolic jumper cable":
It jolts dead bodyfat back to life.
This allows your metabolism to burn it as calories and re-energize your entire body.
First though, here's the #1 reason why bodyfat becomes calorie-resistant:
It lacks blood flow. This has 3 effects:
- Not enough oxygen or nutrients reach fat cells, so they become unresponsive..
- Released fat can't be sent to other tissues to be burned, so fat cells suck it back in...
- 3) Metabolic hormones carrying the "burn calories" message don't reach the fat cell...
All this means one thing:
Your body can't transform into energy, the 135,000+ of calories the average person stores as fat!
You become a metabolic zombie: NO energy to think. NO energy to move. NO energy to motivate.
Update: calorie-resistant bodyfat can be now removed...
The discovery of this "metabolic jumper cable" can now reverse this process:
- It wakes up un-responsive bodyfat with a powerful calorie-burning hormonal jolt....
- It pops open fat cells, sucks out the fat, sending it off before its yanked back in...
- It shuttles fat to your brain, heart, lungs, kidneys - even your bones - to be burned as energy.
Not only do those layers of "zombie fat" start coming off, but your entire body just works better.
Plus, as your whole body burns more calories, those patches of pocket obesity whittle away.
This "metabolic jumper cable" isn't any exercise, machine or pill.
It's a little-known, calorie-burning hormone we all have... just waiting for the right spark to come alive.
It's not thyroid, leptin, ghrelin, insulin, adiponectin, HGH or any other "fat loss" hormone you may know.
And on this next page, you'll find out precisely how to unleash its calorie-burning power:
==> How to Activate Your #1 "Bodyfat-Eating" Hormone...
How to Activate Your #1 "Bodyfat-Eating" Hormone
PS - Studies show that not only can healthy levels of this powerful calorie-burning hormone devour bodyfat and fortify soft muscle, but it can also reduce your risk of diabetes by 53.7%, a heart attack by 83.3% and stroke by 51.4%. Here's more of the scientific proof...
#1 muscle that eliminates joint and back pain, anxiety and looking fat
I bet you can't guess which muscle in your body is the #1 muscle that eliminates joint and back pain, anxiety and looking fat.
This "hidden survival muscle" in your body will boost your energy levels, immune system, sexual function, strength and athletic performance when unlocked.
If this "hidden" most powerful primal muscle is healthy, we are healthy.
Is it…
a) Abs

Don't just take my word for it... watch his short video and decide for yourself.
Is Bread Really the Staff of Life… or the Stuff of Disease?
For most us, there are few foods more comforting than bread.
Fluffy biscuits, crusty baguettes, flaky croissants… even a simple slice of toast topped with melted butter can taste like heaven.
And that smell… few scents are quite as pleasant as fresh bread baking in the oven.
But there is a lot of confusion as to where bread fits into a healthy diet.
The Bible practically commands followers to eat it: "Give us this day our daily bread…" The government put it at the base of the food pyramid. And for centuries, it has been called "the staff of life."
Of course, there are some who disagree…
Well-known cardiologist, Dr. William Davis, calls wheat "the perfect chronic poison."
And for a poison, we sure eat lots of it…
The average American consumes 55 pounds of wheat flour every year, making refined flour the #1 source of calories in the American Diet – a situation that nutrition expert Chris Kresser describes as, "a public health catastrophe."
So, what is the truth about bread and wheat?
- Is it the perfect poison… or an essential daily food?
- Is "gluten-free" bread better for you than regular bread?
- And can you still eat bread… while maintaining a lean body and optimal health?
The answers to these questions may surprise you!
The 5 dangerous lies about bread…
Be sure to read #5 – the biggest surprise of all!
Do You Know Your Body's Most Important Weight Loss Secret?
Recently, Doctor of Naturopathy, weight-loss expert and best-selling Amazon author Liz Swann Miller, creator of the Red Smoothie Detox Factor, revealed 2 of the secrets to easy, steady weight loss. Secrets the big food corporations do their best to hide from us.
Secret #1: Enjoy real food. Don't fall for the lie that you have to deprive yourself to lose weight.
Secret #2: stop eating out. You will automatically eat less without even noticing.
Then start detoxing your body with tasty, nourishing smoothies that are just as easy on your wallet as they are easy to make.
Because a single day of enjoying Liz' smoothies demonstrated the radical power of her superfood-packed red smoothies to make me feel incredibly good.
Now prepare yourself for one of the biggest weight loss secrets there is. A secret that, when you use it properly, can transform your body and your health.
You probably know most of us eat too much processed food. What you may not know is that it's full of toxic chemicals and substandard, dirt-cheap ingredients designed to make you eat more…and force you to gain weight.
Here's how it works.
"That stuff is just a lot of calories your body can't use," Liz told me, "Some are poison. And all these foods are stripped of the anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatories that help your body detox. The result? Your body expends huge amounts of calories to eliminate some toxins—the rest, it stores in your fat to protect you. This is why most people are hungry all the time. They're not getting energy they need."
"So… what's going on with me? Why am I losing weight but not going hungry?"
Liz paused, then dropped the bombshell.
Your body is designed to burn fat. You just have to let it.
"What? I thought we were designed to store fat?!?" We were Skyping and I was practically shouting. Then I heard Liz say…
What good is a fat reserve if you can't burn it?
Mind blown.
Liz continued: "You're drinking smoothies packed with phytonutrients, anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatories that pull toxins out of you like a tractor beam. Allowing your body to burn those toxin-filled fat stores… and releasing tremendous amounts of stored energy."
So that's why I'm losing weight without going hungry.
Watch Liz' free presentation. It's packed with revolutionary weight loss information—information that works. Because it's based on how nature.

Find the Best Plan in Your Area
Find The Right Dentist For You
On March 15, the Beaches Community Healthcare Clinic in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, will open a dental care facility to help provide services to local residents who do not have dental insurance.
Officials with the healthcare clinic, which recently celebrated its one-year anniversary of supplying free care to the underprivileged, said that the creation of a dental facility was overdue, according to Jacksonville.com.
"We've been getting calls since day one for dental," said Cindy Funkhouser, vice president of health services at the Sulzbacher Center in Jacksonville, which oversees the clinic. "It was a huge service gap here at the Beach."
The two-room dental center will fill cavities, provide teeth cleanings and perform complementary root canals to uninsured patients with incomes at or below 200 percent of the poverty level, which is $38,000 a year for a family of four. A nominal fee may be charged to employed patients, depending on their income.
Patients in need of care who do not have dental insurance may want to invest in a discount dental plan, which can provide significant savings on the majority of procedures.
For more information on discount dental plans call 1-888-632-5353

Oceansize album
the review's up now
though you'd never know it
you have to search the fuck out of this website to find it though
Hope it's good yes...
why can't we...
see it on the main page?
go to this link
to see what's the most recent uploads
i think the front page is bidding to look more professional by only showing content that is released now.
bit silly i think but hey.
what a kop out
You didn't review the album for ages, now when you put it up, we can't browse to it. :(
Yet there's loads of shit that you (collectivly) can find time to review and publish, but the best album of the year and it can't even find a way on to your site.
Fuckin pathetic
If you go
to Raz's profile, you can get to the review from there, if you're still looking for it?
got the link
from another message board.
Still, not exactly encouraging people to go out and buy it is it? How can people read it and think, "hmm that sounds good, I'll go out and buy that" when they're not likely to even stumble across it on the site?
No tour news, no album release news, no album review, no live review
Have DiS got something against Oceansize or what?
Or has this site has really gone down the pan?
this matter
is being addressed
fingers crossed
who can really say...
the ratings
have changed - praise the lord

Hmm.. I think I can name a few off the top of my head ;) PS: There may be spoilers. You've been warned!
1. Katniss and Peeta from The Hunger Games Trilogy. Obviously, they are the hottest fictional couple right now, so I definitely think their relationship would stand the test of time in their generation. But, it could be rocky. If you read the Mockingjay already and you know what happens to Peeta, then you know what I mean. But, I don't want to spoil it for anyone so I'll just leave it at that.
2. Rose and Dimitri from Vampire Academy. Holy moly, this whole series blew me away! Honestly, they are my favorite book couple. Rose and Dimitri always were the couple I was rooting for from the beginning. Since they are both guardians, they can kick some
3. Hermione and Ron from Harry Potter. I may be making this more towards the last movie but i don't care. (: They are flipping adorable together, and they don't realize till the end! They complete each other and could totally make it in the real world. They'd just be all googly eyed, aha.
4. Ever and Damen from The Immortals Series. Now, I know a lot of people don't like this series as a whole, but the romance is so great in my opinion! I'm only 3 books into the series, so don't tell me anything that may ruin it! Ever and Damen are probably one of the most complicated relationship's I've read about. But together, they can conquer any obstacles. Plus, with their mind abilities? They're unstoppable.
(I couldn't find any people representations of them, so you get three book covers instead!)
I'm gonna stop there, cause I've been working on this post for over an hour. I've got my work cut out for me though! I'm just now realizing the mass of series I have yet to finish.. *panics* I seriously need to finish them all before I start a new one..
What is your Top Ten Tuesday? Leave me a link, and comment down below!

WASHINGTON (AP) - Lawmakers hardly missed a beat after Hurricane Katrina in trying to grab money for local projects in the Army Corps of Engineers' budget. The Energy and Water spending bill approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee last week contains dozens of home-state earmarks that the agency didn't request. The House took up its version of the bill last month, but hasn't yet released its earmarks - pet projects sought by lawmakers - because committee leaders said they were inundated with requests. Many of the projects fall within the corps' scope of work: fortifying levees, restoring river habitats and upgrading river locks. But with limited funding, they didn't make it into the budget that the agency submitted to Congress. Among the items that made it into the Senate bill, according to legislative language and lawmakers' press releases:
- Nearly $16 million inserted by Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, for improvements to various harbors in Alaska, plus another $5 million for coastal erosion.
- $200,000 for mosquito control and $950,000 for improvements to boat ramps and docks on North Dakota's Lake Sakakawea, by Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D.
- More than $11 million sought by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., for nearly two dozen studies on the need for various dam, shoreline and river projects around her state.
- $3 million sought by Sen. Judd Greg, R-N.H., for dredging the Cocheco River in Dover, N.H., to allow more boat traffic to enter the city and boost the local economy.
- $5 million sought by Sens. Larry Craig and Mike Crapo, both Idaho Republicans, for unspecified environmental infrastructure projects in rural Idaho.
- $2 million by Sen. Wayne Allard, R-Colo., and Sen. Ken Salazar, D-Colo., for repairs at three recreational lakes.

The Teaching of Religious Studies at Sarum Academy
Teaching and Learning about Christianity
At Sarum Academy Religious Studies is a compulsory subject for all pupils in Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4. Christianity is the majority study in Religious Studies. Understanding Christianity as a living religion is the foundation of pupils' Religious Education in schools. It is important that this draws on the richness and diversity of Christian experience in the breadth of its Anglican and other denominational forms, and in the variety of worldwide forms. The encounter is an open one which stems from and instils respect for different views and interpretations and in which real dialogue and education takes place. Pupils will be enabled to deepen their understanding of God as encountered and taught by Christians.
Teaching and learning about other faiths and world views
Church schools have a duty to foster an accurate and increasing understanding of world religions and world views. As a result, pupils will gain greater insight into the world in which they are growing up. They will also be able to appreciate the faith of others and develop a deeper understanding of their own beliefs and practices. These outcomes must contribute to harmonious relationships within and between communities, promoting social inclusion and combating prejudice. At GCSE pupils study Buddhism in addition to Christianity.
Dedicated curriculum time
In Key Stage 3 6% of time is dedicated to Religious Studies. In Key Stage 4 10% of time is dedicated to Religious Studies. All pupils in Key Stage 4 work towards a qualification in Religious Studies.
The lead teacher of RS has specialist qualifications in RE. All teachers teaching RS have good access to appropriate professional development. RE has equal status with other core subjects in staffing and resourcing.
The right to withdraw from Religious Education
Any parent has a right to withdraw their children from religious education (RE). If a parent asks for their child to be wholly or partly excused from attending any RE at the school the school must comply unless the request is withdrawn. The school remains responsible for the supervision of any child withdrawn from RE, unless the child is lawfully receiving religious education elsewhere. Parents do not need to explain their reasons for seeking withdrawal.
If a parent is wishing to withdraw their child from RE it is kindly requested that they contact the Headteacher directly. It is helpful to know the religious issues about which the parent would object to their child being taught and the practical implications of withdrawal.

Awesome Stuff: Smartphone Proximity Locks For Your Car
from the a-little-different dept
For this week's awesome stuff, we're trying out a slightly different format. Instead of gathering three new crowdfunded products, we're going to focus on just one and take a slightly closer look at its progress and prospects. Please let us know in the comments if you like this approach, or if you prefer the old format.
This week, we're looking at Loxet: a smartphone-controlled proximity lock for your car.
The Loxet is a device that installs in any car with a central locking system and, along with an accompanying iOS or Android app, allows you to lock and unlock the doors and control ignition access with your proximity to the car. It also bills itself as an advanced sharing system, allowing you to grant time-limited access to the car to other people.
The Good
For one thing, it's new. There are already plenty of proximity locks on the market, but they generally require a specialized fob on your keychain; there are already smartphone-controlled locks too, but they operate by button-press. Loxet appears to be the first smartphone-controlled proximity lock, or at least the first one that works with both iOS and Android (they make this latter claim on the Kickstarter page). The price also looks good — though all the super-cheap early bird deals are sold out, the standard Kickstarter price of $69 is still below the price of existing non-smartphone proximity lock systems, which tend to sit in the $80-200 range.
The Bad
The way Loxet operates seems like it might come with some inherent issues. The device uses Bluetooth Low Energy, and in order to achieve full proximity operation on both iOS and Android, they have to use apps that repeatedly scan for connected Bluetooth devices at a time interval you set. To realize the full hands-off, out-of-mind potential of the system, that time interval will have to be pretty short — and I suspect it will have a noticeable impact on your phone's battery life and performance, though just how noticeable remains to be seen. For the time being, there aren't any obvious alternatives to this approach, at least not without sacrificing some capabilities.
The Questionable
With any wireless locking system, there's always one big question: is it secure? The last thing we need is someone whipping up an app to hack into people's cars via Bluetooth. Loxet would surely claim, in good faith I don't doubt, that the system is secure — but I'd like to see them call in some independent security audits and put the software in the hands of some white hat hackers before telling people it's ready to keep their cars safe. In fact, there's actually a disturbing lack of security information and discussion on the Kickstarter page, especially for an app that claims it will allow car-sharing via e-mail, SMS and QR code. With just under a month left in the campaign, this is the biggest thing the Loxet team needs to address.

Ward, K., The Evidence for God, in the University Library at C 11 WAR.
|Photo: York Minster by
NMK Photography. Reproduced
under a Creative Commons Licence
Professor Ward is a very accomplished and elegant speaker, who in his talk managed to refer to almost every reputable philosopher of the past two thousand years as well as most populist scientists of contemporary times. Within the first few minutes he constructed a reasonably convincing opposition between materialism and idealism in the minds of his largely non-academic audience, went on to associate these with different evidential assumptions identifying materialism as weak, and, with some reference to aesthetics, justified transcendental belief and consequently the existence of God.
Perhaps I simplify the arguments a little; they are more convincingly elaborated upon in my chosen book this week, Keith Ward's 'The Evidence for God'.
Despite the very persuasive style I still left the lecture a little dissatisfied. Personally, I don't think that a religious position needs to rest solely on belief and evidence (a contemporary obsession), or on taking a stand on the opposition between materialism and idealism that Professor Ward suggests.
|Image courtesy of Ward, K., The Evidence for God (2014)
A number of religions still operate without this excessive focus on belief and evidence, and there are other philosophers and theologians who will make the point that the early church was in fact philosophically materialist.
So what has this to do with a woman Bishop? Professor Ward appeared genuinely sad that there seems to be less interest in the traditional forms of organised religion, and that future forms need to be different. Perhaps the event in the Minster will be a positive step along this path.
Further reading: A satisfying and full account to me of how we arrived at the current position of overwhelming secularism is in Charles Taylor's A Secular Age. This is hardly a nightshelf read, but well worth the effort.
