Very good tips Radi! As you mentioned all of us are beautiful, but we can use some tricks to highlight our best features! For example monochromatic looks are a very good example and as you also mentioned, prints but playing with volumes, shapes and other garments, this one could be tricky but you can also combine neutrals + a print.ReplyDelete

Fishing in the Alaskan wilderness….
February 14, 2016
Many of you enjoyed the short fishing video I offered a while back, so I dug through the miles of tape and found this longer fishing video that I used at outdoor shows and as a demo to potential clients.
Though I am retired now I still enjoy watching the smiles as my clients landed their fish.
This video blog posting is dedicated to
L.A.R.A. and LAARK amateur radio clubs
in the Little Elm Texas area.
Please ignore the sales pitch and sit back and enjoy the show…..

Back at my desk – Fiji; Istanbul
While on holiday I managed to launch an ActNOW campaign in support of the embattled trade unions of Fiji – at the request of the British TUC and ITUC. Even without the normally extensive LabourStart publicity, it has already gotten 2,184 messages sent and was translated (without prompting by me) into two languages. Today I asked 11 other volunteer translators to get to work on it, and am beginning our own publicity blitz.
Update: Following our publicity blitz, support is increasing. Here are the latest totals as of 10:00 London time (Wednesday), 12 hours later –
- 4,213 supporters
- 730 recommendations on Facebook
A lot remains undone for our upcoming Global Solidarity Conference – this will be my top priority in the next week. I leave next Wednesday, 7 September, for Istanbul, where I'll be meeting with our Turkish comrades and we'll try to fix all outstanding issues.
3 Comments »
Given some of our earlier discussions below, I think the numbers, especially pre-push, are heartening.
Concerning Istanbul, what are the interpretation arrangements?
Turkish for sure, Arabic is likely.

New Client Information
In order to understand your wellness goals and match you with the correct treatment/practitioner, we ask that all new clients call us to set up their first appointment.
Initial Evaluation & CranioSacral Therapy Treatment
We schedule all new clients with an Initial Evaluation & CranioSacral Therapy treatment. Adult new evaluations are scheduled for 75 minutes and new evaluations for infants/children are scheduled for 60 minutes. (Note: these sessions may be extended if the wellness issue is particularly complex or severe).
The first part of the session will be dedicated to reviewing your wellness goals, medical history, and answer any of your questions before beginning treatment. Your practitioner will review any continuing treatment recommendations with you at the end of your session.
Health Insurance and Payment
We are a cash-based practice and payment is due at the time of any appointment. We are not an approved Medicaid or Medicare provider. However, in some cases, health insurance providers offer partial to full reimbursement for some of our services. If you would like us to see if you are eligible for reimbursement, we can send you an insurance verification form. Once completed, the form will be sent to a third-party firm who will provide an answer as to your potential coverage in 5-10 business days.
The most likely scenario for clients to receive coverage is when they have:
- A referral (with diagnosis code(s)) from a physician
- Have already met their out-of-network deductible
- Are not already claiming coverage for other physical or massage therapy treatments.
Please understand that wellness/prevention care, health maintenance and/or massage therapy are not services covered by most insurance companies. You will be responsible for all services provided at the time of treatment and take full responsibility for all the bills incurred for treatment.
Some clients do use their HSA cards to pay for treatments. However, we encourage that clients verify that their HSA policies cover our services prior to making use of their card.
Cancellation/No Show Policy
Your appointment time is reserved just for you. A late cancellation or missed visit leaves a hole in a practitioner's day that could have been filled by another patient. You will be charged in full for the appointment if we are not given notice ONE BUSINESS DAY prior to your appointment. You may cancel the appointment by calling 407-774-7744. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
Please be on time. If you are late, your session will be shorter in order for us to honor our other clients. You will still be responsible for the full time you have scheduled. If we are late, you will receive your full-length session, unless you have a time conflict, in which case the time missed will be scheduled into a future session.
Patient Responsibility
You are an active participant in determining the course of your treatment. Clients have the right to refuse any procedure and will notify their practitioner IMMEDIATELY if they have any concerns during a treatment session.
Clients agree to be aware that any verbal discussions are meant only to suggest options and that SomatoEmotional Release and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy techniques are aimed at improving their physical well-being. If at any time a client is concerned regarding their mental well-being, it is their responsibility to seek appropriate treatment from a qualified mental health care provider.
Clients will notify their practitioner of any changes regarding their health status that may impact their plan of care. In some cases, if a client is not being seen by a physician regarding the condition they are seeking treatment for, client agrees to do so within 21 days of initiating treatment. If unable to do so, client understands that treatment may be delayed until they receive clearance from a physician.
Patient Forms
You will receive a separate email with a link to our secure online intake form. Please complete the form prior to your first appointment so that your practitioner can have a chance to review your information before your treatment. If you prefer to complete the intake forms here at our office, we recommend that you arrive a minimum of 15 minutes early to your appointment to give you time to complete them.
Health Safety Protocols
We always make your health, well-being, and safety as a priority. To review our health safety practices and protocols, please CLICK HERE.
What Will I Experience During A Treatment?
You will be made comfortable and remain fully clothed while your therapist gently places their hands on or under different points of your body. At times, you may be very quiet to the point you fall into a deep, relaxed state… even sleep. Other times, you may dialogue with your therapist about emotions, memories or sensations that are pertinent to your healing. Following treatment, changes continue to integrate for several days/weeks as your various systems settle into a more natural balance and alignment.
Are There Any Contraindications or Precautions for Treatment?
Generally, the gentle techniques we utilize are safe for mostly everyone. It is important that you are specific in completing the medical history forms that will be provided to you so that we may be aware of any precautions or contraindications for your treatment.
We look forward to speaking with you to schedule your Initial Evaluation & CranioSacral Therapy treatment with us.
Get in Touch
2933 West State Road 434WSuite 111

ColdFusion Summit Notes: Geek Out With the Smart Language Additions in ColdFusion 2018, Rakshith Naresh
null support
datatype preservation
interacts w/ JavaScript, database,
how do we handle nulls in OTHER platforms?
so now we have REAL null support
and real datatype is preserved
if it's a 'string' it will continue to be a bool in CF2018
null —
null in JavaScript
that came into CF
CF treats it as "undefined"
it doesn't exists
that's not true here
it's not undefined anymore, it's "null"
same w/ database nulls
null becomes ""
when you try to put empty string back into db, it's not "Null" anymore
so your queries get wonky
where '' or where null
this is fixed.
in Application.CFC:
this.enablenullsupport = true
datatype preservation
CF is a typeless lang
run CFML code in the browser!
can also SWITCH versions!
employee["smoke"] = "no"
results in WriteOutput( smoke ) is "false"
— cf 2016
on cf 2018 it will say "no"
data type is preserved
no more hacks for null support or datatype conversion
new object oriented constructs
default functions in interface
typed arrays in 2018
negative index and slicing
Typed Array
numericArray = ArrayNew[ "numeric" ](1);
numericArray.append( "foo" ); — this will error out
(new member function instead of ArrayAppend, new inCF11)
(does 'null' work in the numeric array?)
arrayNew["some CFC name"](1)
— works on CFCs
Maybe combine this with the loops over abstract or interface things?
negative index
starts from the END of the array
array[ -1 ] - gets last element
array[ -2 ] - gets second to last, etc.
sort of shortcuts for "arrayLen() - 1" tricks
array slicing
slice the arrays in CF 2018
arr = array w/ 100 elements
arr1 = arr[1:50] - first 50 things in array are now in "arr1"
arr2 = arr[51:100] - second 50 things are in arr2
arr3 = array[2:50:2]
— items 2 thru 50, step by 2
so items 2, 4, 6, 8 up to item 50
25 elements in the array
coming in a future update -
array functions - pop, push, shift, unshift, splice
query functions - updated querynew, queryappend, queryprpepend, queryrowswap, queryslice, queryclear
some/every — array, struct, query
optional semicolons

American national identity has influenced the foreign policy of the United States in a number of ways. National identity can be defined as an overarching system of collective characteristics and values in a nation, American identity has been based historically upon: "race, ethnicity, religion, culture and ideology" (Huntington, 2004, p. 12). This essay shall argue that American national identity has influenced foreign policy in three distinct ways. Firstly, the American exceptionalism of the American national identity has influenced foreign policy through two schools of thought, exemplary and interventionist. Both see the United States as the global ideal but differ on whether this should be actively spread or left to admire. Secondly, this essay shall examine how American national identity and its implicit othering has influenced what or whom is deemed friend or threat by the United States. Thirdly, and finally, this essay shall examine ethno-racial and cultural influence on the foreign policy of the United States and how different groups influence policy formulation.
This essay reaches the conclusion that American exceptionalism leads to US foreign policy not only acting in a missionary fashion but also in a manner that it would not deem acceptable for other states to act. Exceptionalism also leads the United States to assume that the rest of the world desires the values that the US itself upholds. Alongside this, this essay concludes that the value systems of the American national identity lead to the conceptualising of other powers who uphold polar values as existential threats. Finally, this essay concludes that the ethnic/cultural/racial makeup of the American national identity influences foreign policy but is somewhat limited by the ingrained culture of White Anglo-American identity. Overall this essay asserts significant influence to national identity on the foreign policy of the United States, adopting a firmly constructivist stance.
The idea that the United States of America is in some way different from other countries, that it is a 'city upon a hill', that it is exceptional, has always been paramount to the American national identity, and has exerted significant influence throughout history over the foreign policy of the United States (Edwards, 2018, p. 177). American exceptionalism involves three key notions: the USA is the model society free from the problems of the Old World, it is also capable of avoiding those problems that have faced all states with time and has a special destiny (Edwards, 2018, pp. 177-178). This trifecta of assumptions influences foreign policy through implying that all American action on the world stage is performed with good intentions and that the United States, in its actions, knows "what is best for the world" (Edwards, 2018, p. 177). As Edwards explains there have been two main schools of thought in articulating American exceptionalism in US foreign policy – exemplary and interventionist (Edwards, 2018, p. 180). Exemplary exceptionalism was the largely dominant trend until the Spanish-American War when a turn in policy toward interventionism began – which largely became cemented in the post-1945 world (Edwards, 2018, pp. 179-180). Exemplary exceptionalism can be seen to have influenced American foreign policy in the Early Republican administrations' policies of avoiding foreign commitments alongside twentieth-century reservations toward joining the League of Nations (Edwards, 2018, p. 179). Lodge (a key anti-League figure) saw the League's military commitments as reducing American autonomy and ability to remain merely exemplar (Edwards, 2018, p. 179).
Interventionist exceptionalism has been the dominant strand of the two in American national identity following the end of the Second World War. This notion of exceptionalism works on the basis of the USA having a pre-ordained role to act as a global harbinger of their self-perceived unequalled values; American democracy, free market economics and liberty, bringing this about wherever possible, and seeking to support those who share these ideals – this is the "American mission" (Mccartney, 2012, p. 259). This aspect of American identity has influenced the foreign policy of the United States in its promotion of its values abroad – for example bringing about regime change toward democracy through military intervention. This is exemplified by the assertions by the G.W. Bush Administration that bringing American democracy to the Middle East was a desirable move not only in terms of promoting American values but that these values, due to their exceptional quality, would be panacea to the region's issues and loved by its people (Monten, 2005, p. 112). This lies contrary to research carried out in 2004 which shows overwhelmingly negative attitudes toward the USA by Middle Eastern/Arab nations, particularly in then-occupied Iraq alongside largely negative attitudes toward American-style democracy and freedoms (Zogby International, 2004, pp. 3-5). This report also demonstrated notable decline in opinion in the six nations surveyed between 2002 and 2004 – this reflects declining Arab opinion of the US following the 2003 Iraq War (Zogby International, 2004, pp. 3-5).
One can argue that the American exceptional national identity influences the United States to be overly interventionist in spreading its values due to its assuredness of their supremacy. This leads to foreign policy debacles in which the USA attempts to bring about regime change in states that do not desire the values that the USA seeks to disseminate. This is made all the more problematic by the self-righteousness of the cause created by the exceptionalism present in the American psyche. This exceptionalism also means that the USA engages in the aforementioned interventionism, yet viciously opposes other powers attempts at spreading their own values – the USA, due to its exceptional nature, is just in its actions, whilst others are not. This attitude can be seen in the 1947 Truman Doctrine – in which the USA set out its policy of containing the spread of Communism and preventing regime change, particularly regime change away from American-style democracy (Current History, 1947). Here one can see both the United States fulfilling its mission of spreading its values alongside its assertion that it is wrong for other powers to follow suit. This demonstrates the influence of American exceptional national identity on foreign policy: The United States believes its values to be above reproach, due to this these values should be spread, the USA has the right intentions in spreading said values due to their exceptional quality – this too makes it erroneous for other powers to seek to spread values contrary to those of the United States.
American national identity has played a significant role in influencing what or whom is deemed (or not deemed) a threat in US foreign policy formulation. As Zevelev explains, identity is not only a matter of self-perception but a matter of what other actors think of you (Zevelev, 2002, p. 450), and as Hixson adds, what you think of them, identity exists with an entity with whom to differentiate oneself from – an entity to other (Hixson, 2008, pp. 5-6). Identity is constructed in self-perception, how others perceive us, and by how we view others. The manner in which American national identity has constructed the enemies and friends of the United States is important, because it is central to how and why foreign policy is carried out. One can see the influence of the othering caused by national identity and its affect on foreign policy most clearly in relation to US foreign policy toward the USSR post-1945. This foreign policy, against a former ally, was set out to contain and combat the power wherever possible. Why did this happen? The American national identity emphasises four key factors: democracy, free markets, personal liberty and Judaeo-Christian values (Campbell, 1992, pp. 29-32). Due to its advocation of socialist/communist economics and its totalitarian and atheistic tendencies – the USSR was deemed anathema to American identity – in fact it was considered a truly existential threat (Campbell, 1992, pp. 29-32). The fear for the survival of the American identity and the United States itself can be witnessed in the National Security Council documents from the Cold War period. These documents express great fear toward the nature of this communist other and what it means for American identity, advocating aggressive foreign policy measures in response; one can discount a propagandising agenda in these documents as they were, at the time, "top secret" (Campbell, 1992, pp. 29-32). This evidence is particularly important in that it demonstrates the influence national identity has even at an elite level, thus challenging realist arguments – giving credence to a constructivist interpretation of American foreign policy (Schmidt, 2012, p. 13).
Responses to challenges to religiosity in foreign states have also been indicative of American national identity's influence on foreign policy. Eisenhower's interventions to prop up the Christian government in Lebanon and Chiang Kai-Shek in Formosa demonstrates the US foreign policy commitment to Judaeo-Christian values both at home and to states who uphold them (Gunn & Slighoua, 2011, p. 40). One can also see exceptionalism in Eisenhower's supposed religious interventionism in the cases of the Guatemala coup and the conspiracy to overthrow Mossadeq in Iran. Both governments were democratically elected yet despite this, the United States intervened to bring about their overthrow – both on religious grounds but also because they were leftist governments in the Cold War period (Gunn & Slighoua, 2011, p. 40). Here one can note that the United States is willing to compromise its principles in a manner that it would not deem acceptable for other states to do – democracy is only acceptable if it elects a government that is of the American nature. Despite the Truman Doctrine, it is perfectly acceptable in the American national identity, due to its exceptional nature, to orchestrate coups against democracies in order to advance the interests and values of the United States.
The ethno-racial and cultural aspects of American national identity influence US foreign policy. One can see the influence of European aspects of national identity in that the United States primarily perceives of itself as a Western power (Aysha, 2003, p. 120) and orientates itself and its policy, generally, toward the European states. This can be seen as a signifier of an overarching American civilizational identity – the USA is Western (Huntington, 1993, p. 22). One can see, more particularly, the White Anglo-Saxon influence on foreign policy; the United States has maintained for much of its history, a special relationship with the United Kingdom (DeConde, 1992, pp. 5-6). Due to the aforementioned, the USA has exercised significant pro-British tendencies in its foreign policy (DeConde, 1992, p. XI (preface)). The White Anglo-Saxon racial influence on American identity has played a significant role in formulating the foreign policy of the United States. This influence has run from the 19th century onward in the process of removal and assimilation of "non-White others" from North America (Taesuh, 2015, p. 744), the refusal to annex Cuba due to the large numbers of Black people who lived there (DeConde, 1992, p. 47), annexationist rhetoric toward Canada on grounds of Anglo-Saxon racial unity (DeConde, 1992, p. 47) to the Reagan administration's use of Whiteness as a device to encourage patriotism and legitimate an aggressive foreign policy (Lipsitz, 2006, pp. 73-77). Noting the impact of the social constructs of race and ethnicity is important because, as Hixson notes, the ethnic and racial makeup of a state justifies what action is taken, especially violence toward "external enemy-others", and whether this action is legitimated domestically (Hixson, 2008, pp. 8-11).
It is interesting to note the assertions of Huntington in relation to the ethno-racial national identity of the United States. Huntington sees the USA as moving away from its White Anglo-Saxon predominance toward an increasingly multicultural makeup (Huntington, 2004, p. 10). Huntington believes that this will move US policy from a Western focus to one focused elsewhere; for example a more Hispanic United States being orientated toward Latin America (Huntington, 2004, p. 10). One can see the influence of Huntington's theory of identity and foreign policy in contemporary politics; President Trump's campaign focused heavily on getting tough with Mexico, increasing border security on the Southern border and the "Muslim ban" policy (Vidal, 2018). This can be seen in a similar vein to Reagan's appeals to whiteness to legitimate policy (Kimmel, 2017) and arguably as an attempt to prevent Huntington's prophesised identity shift. The past influence of ethnic diasporas in the multicultural national identity can be seen in a number of cases, for example; Cuban exiles advocating for harsh sanctions against the Castro regime in the Cold War (Huntington, 2004, pp. 286-287) and in the Post-Cold War era under the Clinton administration (Petras, 1996, pp. 269-271). Another significant instance in which minority groups have influenced foreign policy is the Armenian lobby's attempt in the 1990's to secure Senate recognition of the Armenian genocide – an action which was only stopped by a lengthy filibuster (DeConde, 1992, p. 196). Turkey had promised severe consequences for such a recognition (DeConde, 1992, p. 196). This is significant in that a minority group nearly jeopardised a relationship with a key ally – contrary to realist foreign policy aims at an elite level – again evidencing identity-based constructivism's influence on foreign policy. Whilst these groups have exerted significant influence over US foreign policy, particularly post-Cold War, (Ambrosio, 2002, p. 9) they have had to operate within the framework of an Anglo-American worldview in order to experience any success (DeConde, 1992, pp. 196-197). This demonstrates that whilst a multicultural national identity does influence US foreign policy, the over-arching Anglo-American identity is an ingrained limiting force.
In summation, American national identity plays a significant role in influencing the foreign policy of the United States. American exceptionalism drives the United States to believe that it is legitimate in all of its foreign policy actions – its intentions are above reproach. Past-exemplarism drove the USA to adopt a policy of non-interference. Now-dominant interventionist exceptionalism drives the USA to spread its values worldwide through any means – even war. The USA in its exceptional character also believes that all nations desire such values to be implemented. This character also drives the USA to act contrary to how it deems other states should act. The key tenets of American identity – democracy, individual liberty, religiosity and free-markets drive the USA to other those who hold differing views and to ally itself with those who uphold the same values. Again, however, the exceptional nature of American identity shines through, in that it is acceptable for the United States to proselytise and intervene in the name of its values yet it is also acceptable for the United States to overthrow democratically elected governments. Finally, the cultural/ethnic/racial makeup of the American national identity influences foreign policy through the advocation of the interests of said groups, and in justifying the taking of action against those that are othered by them. The multicultural influence is largely moderated, however, by the more pervasive, White Anglo-American national identity, which provides a framework for said interests to operate in, whilst also advocating its own agenda. Overall, American national identity plays a significant role in influencing the US foreign policy – the values and systems that the USA seeks to advocate are socially constructed and their worth is intrinsically linked to the identity of those who value them.

Toxins, Detoxification, Far Infrared Sauna… Weight Loss and Pain Reduction
I use my High Tech FIR Sauna weekly. It is on my list of detoxification necessities! I couple it with very specific OHS nutrition, laser, Body Lights, foot baths, exercise, homeopathic remedies, such as Opti-Metals Detox and Opti-Enviro Detox, etc. These will be covered in detail at Homecoming 2016.
Below is an outline of how THE FIR SAUNA works, what it detoxifies and some of the many benefits:
Far Infrared is produced by the sun. It is a band of light that cannot be seen, but is felt as heat. It is the heat you feel on a cold day when the sun warms your skin. Far Infrared energy is absorbed by the body and gently elevates the body's core temperature a few degrees.
Through a process called resonant absorption, Far Infrared removes toxins out of the body's fat cells via perspiration, respiration, urine and stool. Being able to remove toxins out of fat cells is important because that is where toxins are stored when toxic exposure exceeds the body's natural ability to remove them.
Analysis of sweat, urine and stool after Far Infrared Sauna Therapy shows the excretion of pesticides, chemicals, environmental poisons, carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, obesogens and heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, aluminum, chromium, copper and nickel.
How does Far Infrared impact weight management?
"Permanent weight loss begins by getting the damaging toxins out of the body. You see, we are the first generation ever exposed to thousands of environmental toxins every day in our air, food and water. These toxins are unavoidable, and when they surpass the ability of the body to detoxify them, we silently, yet steadily, tank up on them." Sherry Rogers MD, 'It's Not Your Fault You're Fat'
Today, 60% of all Americans are obese or overweight. The Center for Disease Control is looking at the problem and finally understanding that it goes beyond food intake and physical activity. It has been proven that weight gain is occurring without food consumption or exercise being a factor.
The Environmental Working Group identified 287 chemicals in the unborn child and Harvard School of Public Health found rates of obesity in infants have risen 73% since 1980 among infants less than 6 months old. This is a clear indicator that the problem with weight control is connected to toxic environmental exposure.
Toxins cause obesity without even considering caloric intake and physical activity. Toxins also induce health problems associated with obesity such as inflammation, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, inability to regulate appetite, altered thyroid metabolism, cancers and diabetes.
BPA Excretion Via Sweat
BPA is commonly found in plastic food and beverage containers as well as in various household appliances, electronics, sports safety equipment, adhesives, cash register receipts, medical devices, eyeglass lenses, water supply pipes and many more products. BPA is an endocrine disruptor that is stored in fat cells and is very difficult to remove from the body. The accumulation of BPA in fat is three times higher than in other tissues. BPA harms reproductive organ function, neurological impairment and puts the body at a high risk for breast and prostate cancer. BPA programs fat cells to incorporate more fat and results in an increase of abdominal fat and glucose intolerance.
Stephen J. Genuis' clinical study of BPA excretion in urine, sweat and blood showed the highest levels were detected in sweat from the use of the Thermal Life Sauna. Results suggested Far Infrared Sauna Therapy is the most effective way to mobilize BPA from adipose tissue and excrete the toxin through the skin via sweat. As Far Infrared is absorbed by the body's tissues, primarily adipose tissue, the cells react in a process called resonant absorption. Resonant absorption occurs when the frequency of far infrared matches the frequency of the water in the cell. This causes toxins to be mobilized from the fat cells, dropped off into the blood stream, and excreted via sweat, urine and stool. Induced sweating via Far Infrared from the Thermal Life Sauna can mobilize BPA from adipose tissue leading to enhanced excretion in sweat.
Far Infrared detoxification is a mandatory step to lose weight by removing obesity causing toxins, while relieving the serious health problems that harm the body when overweight.
FIR and T D O S (Toxicity. Deficiency. Overweight. Stress.)
Today, toxic exposure is unavoidable and exceeds the body's natural ability to remove toxic waste. We face a daily attack of toxins from the air we breathe, water we drink and food we eat, but unfortunately, our lungs, skin, colon, liver and kidneys are not enough. Far Infrared detoxification is the most efficient and effective way to mobilize stored heavy metals and chemicals from the body's fat cells, lower total toxic burden and bring the body back to a state of balance, allowing the body to heal itself.
Toxicity combined with nutritional deficiency is fatal. The body needs nutrients and thrives in a balanced state. When the body is in a toxic overload, the body is unable to absorb nutrients. Sauna detoxification will rid the body of destructive toxins that can impede the body's ability to absorb healthy nutrients. A combination of nutrients and detoxification are essential for restoring and maintaining optimal health.
The human body is smart. Instead of allowing toxins to attack our vital organs, the body protects itself by creating layers of fat cells to store harmful toxins. Far Infrared detoxification increases the body's core temperature to encourage the heavy metals and chemicals to be released from the fat cells and excreted through sweat, breath, urine and stool. If you want to lose weight, you must detoxify your body of toxins daily. Far Infrared increases metabolism and blood circulation, effectively deals with cellulite and stimulates the immune system.
High daily stress levels put constant strain on the body's nervous system and can contribute to chronic disease. Emotional stress is another source of toxin created within the body. Depressive or angry emotions cause the body to release chemicals that weaken our neurological, hormonal and immune function. Stress puts the body at risk for the development of cancer and degenerative diseases. Far Infrared detoxification reduces stress by boosting circulation and triggering the release of endorphins, your feel good hormones. Far Infrared therapy also relieves the pathways used in the metabolization of stress chemicals, supporting healthy body function.
High Tech Health's Far Infrared Sauna Therapy really works!
Figure: FIR Sweat Analysis
An M.D. in his mid-forties, who was free of toxic symptoms, captured his own sweat produced during a single 35 minute High Tech Health sauna session and sent it in for analysis. Measurable quantities were found for 35 of 37 elements tested for, including harmful heavy metals and chemicals: aluminum, arsenic, nickel, cadmium, lead and mercury.
The Thermal Life Sauna by High Tech Health Sauna is designed for detoxification.
High Tech Health began advocating Far Infrared Sauna Therapy over fifteen years ago as an extremely effective way to detoxify the body from heavy metals and chemicals. With doctors and engineers, High Tech Health designed the Thermal Life Sauna specifically for detoxification. Today, the Thermal Life Sauna is used by thousands of medical practitioners and their patients worldwide.
The Thermal Life Sauna is made of premium poplar wood, a pure wood that comes from the Aspen family. Unlike cedar, spruce, pine, basswood and hemlock, poplar is odorless and doesn't emit hydrocarbons that cause lung irritations and contribute to total toxicity. The EPA warns against the exposure to cedar wood due to cedar wood oil being an active ingredient in five pesticide products that are used as repellents and feeding depressants to control moths and fleas and retard the growth of mildew. http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/REDs/factsheets/3150fact.pdf . When experiencing Far Infrared Sauna Therapy, it is imperative to detoxify the body in a sauna constructed of premium poplar wood for the safest and most effective detoxification session.
The Thermal Life Sauna has state-of-the-art bio-resonance emitters strategically placed throughout the entire cabin, ensuring delivery of the highest quality Far Infrared therapy to the entire body. The custom ceramic-inside-metal-sheath heaters are designed by High Tech Health's doctors and engineers to be the most reliable and effective Far Infrared emitters available. Each heater in the Thermal Life Sauna emits therapeutic infrared that gently raises the body's core temperature to experience the best health results. There is a fresh air fan in the sauna to keep CO2 levels low, delivering fresh air to the body and providing the healthiest environment for detoxification.
The Thermal Life Sauna is certified for both home and commercial use, to meet and exceed safety requirements for Canada, the United States and Europe. High Tech Health is not only committed to producing a sauna for detoxification, they also care about producing a product with the least impact on the environment. After all, harm to the environment through manufacturing results in the need to detox in the first place!
High Tech Health offers a Lifetime Warranty on the Thermal Life Sauna with a 30 day money back guarantee as a commitment to you and your health. Call High Tech Health to begin your path to detoxification, achieve your healthy weight and improve overall health and wellness.

In yet another of my "Why Joe Biden will NEVER be president Chronicles", I give you Exhibit 1164. A Joe Biden parade.
Now before you view this Joe Biden parade hosted by none other than Dr. Jill Biden, ask yourself what a Trump parade looks like.
Ok, now look at the Joe Biden parade:
🚨Campaigning in 2020. Yard sign car parades with @DrBiden and @DouglasEmhoff. Beep Beep! 🚘 pic.twitter.com/kDu9nrzwyO
— Michael LaRosa (@MichaelLaRosaDC) September 16, 2020
I counted 3 cars. What did you get?
In full disclosure, we don't know how many cars came before these, how many was it again, 3 cars. But I suspect not many.
According to this source, the Biden parade was meant to counter that of Trump's. Here's how Yahoo reported the pre-parade duel:
As the "MAGA-Gras Trump Truck/Car Parade" gets ready to roll through Riverhead and the North Fork Sunday, a group called "North Forkers for Biden/Harris" are preparing to hold a peaceful demonstration to counter the event.
The group, which supports Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the coming election, said the demonstration is "pro Biden/Harris, pro democracy, justice and truth."
The group is slated to gather on Sunday at the corner of Front and 3rd Street between 12:45 and 1 p.m.
Those attending said they are "standing up for justice and truth."
Apparently not many Biden supporters are "standing up for justice and truth."
With not a Trump in sight, people organize events with thousands of attendees. I spoke at one last weekend. There were well over 2,000 patriots near St. Louis.
The week before a friend asked me to speak at a boat flotilla in Florida where over 2,000 boats hit the waterway in support of Trump. Estimates are that 10,000 people attended the festivities, with over 2,000 gathering on a private island.
Meanwhile, the man Democrats think will dethrone Trump had a 3-car parade. I Googled to see how many people, cars, "whatevers" attended Joe Biden's parade. Unfortunately the media chose not to elaborate.
Clearly media was present, as they are seen running behind the third car. If any Leftists have additional footage, I'm happy to update this article.

Last night my friend Claudiu and I took the kids to the Serbia versus Romania World Cup Qualifying match. Serbia was leading Group 7 in the European Group and needed a win to secure a spot in next summer's World Cup soccer tourney in South Africa. They earned their spot with an emphatic 5 – 0 win over neighboring Romania.
My last experience at the stadium for the Austria qualifying match was horrible and I was apprehensive in taking three young boys (Owen, Sebey & Tudor) to the game. We were crushed in the entrance at that game, but last night's game was very well organized. Stadium officials looked at the tickets at several checkpoints on the way to our seats. The seats were numbered and there was one seat for every person. There were also many police and ushers in the aisles to prevent overcrowding in the exits like last time.
Serbia obviously outplayed Romania and were back to their up tempo attacking football that has been lacking the past few matches. At the end of the match, there was a big celebration with fireworks and President Tadic in his luxury box opening up the champagne. Serbia qualified for the first time as an independent nation – in 2006 in Germany, they were still Serbia-Montenegro. It is interesting the there are several ex-Yugoslavia republics with chances of qualifying. Bosnia-Hercagovina will finish in second place in their group and will play off to get in. Slovenia also is in second place and could qualify automatically as group winner if Slovakia loses to Poland. Croatia is one point out of second but will probably not get into the playoff.
How will they do in South Africa? They have as good of chances as anyone else. They have one superstar, Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic. They are solid in the midfield with InterMilan player and team captain, Dejan Stankovic. My favorite player on the team and possibly their best, is Milos Krasic. He plays for CSKA Moscow and really makes things happen for Serbia. He is fast and always moving forward and is always involved in Serbia's goals. He is a player to watch out for as he is only 24. I can't believe one of the bigger European clubs hasn't picked him up yet. They also have the tallest soccer player at this level, 6'8" Nikola Zigic. He usually gets several good header opportunities in front of the goal every game. Their goalie is solid and if the role players can step it up, they have a shot at taking on the big boys. They need another big scorer as I don't think Marko Pantelic, one of the strikers is up to World Cup level of play. He is always complaining on the field and doesn't really do a whole lot in my opinion. They will always be in games with Vidic as center back.
The qualification means the World Cup will be much more interesting for me with Serbia and the USA in the tourney. I have photos on my Blackberry but haven't yet figured out how to upload them to my computer. I will post some photos from the game when I get a chance.

Most conventional networks are passive, with only basic traffic monitoring, management, routing, and congestion control. At best, they can be called reactive. Deploying new functions and integrating new standards into these architectures is difficult due to the rigid embedding of software and hardware into the network components. Active and Programmable Networks for Adaptive Architectures and Services introduces a new generation of network technologies and architecture that allows the creation, customization, and management of new services and applications deployed dynamically into network nodes. Following a brief introduction and historical overview, the author outlines the architecture of active and programmable networks, discusses the enabling technologies for network programmability in detail, and introduces several paradigms and prototypes. He then explores packet scheduling, management, routing, and security and examines active wireless and mobile networks. The final chapter presents several real-world examples of currently deployed active and programmable networks. Several tables present information on different schemes and architectures, allowing easy comparison among a range of networking options. Placing the new paradigm in contrast with concepts such as TCP/IP and OSI, Active and Programmable Networks for Adaptive Architectures and Services makes it easy to see how these new technologies can help you build more flexible and adaptive networks that can seamlessly integrate new functions.

The Michigan Campaign Finance Network is reporting that the campaign for Chief Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court is largely an "underground" campaign where much of the spending is not subject to campaign finance regulations.
According to the organization, 60% of the television advertising in the race is "off the books." The Michigan Chamber of Commerce and the Michigan Democratic State Central Committee have spent $1,783,000 for television advertisements that attempt to "define the record, qualifications and character of one candidate or the other." However, because the advertisements never mention voting, they are not required to report their spending in campaign financing reports, nor do they have to disclose the source of the money.
Executive Director Rich Robinson of the Michigan Campaign Finance Network says "The peril in this is that an individual or interest group could secretly spend a million dollars to market a candidate – a very important contribution, and then have that justice vote to select its case and rule on its case."
The Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo combined market has seen $724,090 in spending from Taylor's campaign, the Michigan Chamber of Commerce, and the Michigan Democratic State Central Committee. The area has seen the second highest amount of ad spending after Detroit.

Great Dunmow Town Design Statement - Design guidance for enhancing and protecting the character of Dunmow.
Future use of the Town Design Statement
As planning guidance
One of the key aims in producing the Town Design Statement was to see it adopted as planning guidance – known as a Supplementary Planning Document. The role of SPD is to amplify strategic policies. While they are not statutory, like the Core Strategy, and are not Development Plan Documents they are meant to guide decision making and be given a lot of weight. To qualify they must be subject to public consultation, have a sustainability appraisal and be consistent with local and national policy. The strengths of the Town Design Statement that enable it to be adopted are:
- Sound evidence based on local knowledge
- Extensive public involvement
- Focus on design and management issues not statutory strategic planning policies
- A positive Sustainability Appraisal
- Consistency with planning policy
- The Town Design Statement will thus be submitted to the District Council as planning authority with a request that it be considered as SPD.
As a Guide to all who seek to change or manage Great Dunmow
It is very much hoped that the Town Design Statement will prove useful to a wide range of organisations and individuals as they seek to; either carry out development, undertake management of the environment in it's widest sense or seek to influence development. The audience thus includes:
- The Town Council which has a key role in many aspects of the running of the town and of influencing the District Council
- Developers who wish to promote development of whatever type or scale in the town
- The County Council in its vital role in highways, education and regeneration for instance
- Individuals and groups who may want to influence change or simply want to understand more of how the town may change in the future.
The Long Term
It remains to be seen whether the hopes for the Town Design Statement are met and that it proves useful in the ways that have been spelled out above. If so then it is hoped that it will be a 'living document' reviewed as time goes on so that it remains relevant to whatever challenge this fine historic town faces in the future.

Fans celebrate the video's sizzling visuals and Normani's dance moves, while sounding off on Kylie Jenner's appearance too.
update at 7:00 am 8/10/20
Over the weekend, someone Photoshopped Viola Davis' likeness over Kylie Jenner's cameo -- a move which caught the eye of the "How to Get Away with Murder" star. That was followed up with a clip of her character, Annalise Keating, drunkenly dancing being edited into the video -- which she also shared.
Who did this? 😩😭😍 pic.twitter.com/sbgX2KWITc— Viola Davis (@violadavis) August 10, 2020 @violadavis
💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿 #HowToGetAwayWithWAP pic.twitter.com/Aq9aunZUlq— Viola Davis (@violadavis) August 10, 2020 @violadavis
Cardi was ecstatic her video and the fan edits were met with Viola's approval, retweeting one of Davis' posts and adding, "I'm so fan out right now ya don't even know."
original story below
It's all about the "WAP" video starring Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion today, after the rappers dropped their collaboration overnight.
In addition to must-see looks, killer choreography and raunchy verses from the headlining duo, the colorful clip also features cameos from Kylie Jenner, Normani, her trademark splits and several female rappers including Mulatto, Rosalia, Rubi Rose and Sukihana.
Immediately after the video dropped, it began trending on social media -- as viewers celebrated its vibrant visuals.
Upon seeing how her fans were reacting with praise, Cardi took to her Twitter page to thank everyone for their support.
"Boutta take a bath and just cry I'm too emotional right now. All I can say is motherf--kin Thank you," she tweeted. "All the love means sooo much to me. From celebs to fan to any f--kin body it deadass means a lot."
Cardi also expressed her disappointment in how the lyrics had to be censored for the YouTube video. "I was so mad cause it takes away from the song but I get it," she tweeted, "MAKE SURE YA LISTEN TO THE REAL VERSION ON ALL STREAMING PLATFORMS!!!!!!"
Megan Thee Stallion 'Felt Very Betrayed By All My Friends' After ShootingView Story
Among the biggest changes: "WAP" is an acronym for "wet ass p---y," which was watered down to "wet and gushy" in the video.
Much of the online talk was enthusiastically supportive, as fans paid tribute to Cardi and Megan's NSFW -- but still very playful -- style and lyrics, Normani's always impressive dance moves and the appearances of Mulatto, Rosalia, Rubi Rose and Sukihana.

One person social media was less thrilled to see was Jenner, who didn't get quite the same level of enthusiasm on Twitter.
A few memes flipped the script on her door-opening moment, while others wondered why she got a music-stopping introduction over some of the other women in the clip.
There was even a Change.org petition started to "Remove Kylie Jenner from WAP video," which, at the time we published, had over 2,200 supporters.
Betty White even started trending as people said they'd rather the "Golden Girls" star appear in the video than Jenner.

I've got the AN 650 2004 Silver. Unfortunately I laid it down and now need some Burgman silver paint. Dealer says Suzuki does not stock touch up paint and won't/can't supply the dealer with the paint code. She advises me to go to a car detailer to get the paint scanned and have some made up!! Anyone have any info on this... seems unbelievable.

Located in Kerry, Ireland
Freya works as a Psychic Medium, Energy worker & Spiritual Life Coach. Freya is passionate about communicating evidence and validation from Spirit world to the bereaved with love, joy & gratitude. Freya has worked for the last 12years with parents who have Angels in Spirit.
Reading Charge & Duration
Sittings take 1 hour and are 70euro. Freya has extended the time allowance to 90mins for a session for anyone from HPH (Helping Parents Heal)
Family sessions €100 take 90mins, Freya has reduced these sessions to €80 for 90mins for HPH members
A number of years ago I was having a difficult time in my life. I was not a believer in anything remotely Spiritual yet I knew that I could not continue to feel how I was feeling. On the advice of some very good friends, I decided to visit Freya. Perhaps being a man and growing up in a Catholic environment I was more than sceptical, but being so low I had become more open to trying something new.
During the session, Freya began to unravel and tell me things about my life and my family that no one could have known. I met Freya in Ireland and I had not long moved to Ireland from the UK to retire. I went from being a confirmed 100% nonbeliever to a 100% firm believer in one hour flat.
Since my private reading session, I have been able to detach from my difficulties in a more loving way and it has changed my perspective and I live my life in a healthier and more positive way
I had had an amazing reading with Freya! Not only is she a great psychic/ medium, she is also a wise and compassionate counsellor who is able to provide real healing through her readings. Freya tuned in to my sister (who has passed) and brought through a very specific memory that only my sister and I shared, which shed a lot of light on a current issue. She was also able to pick up on subtle and difficult emotional dynamics in myself and my family and to offer helpful guidance and techniques for transforming the energy around these issues. Thank you so much, Freya!
