A Different Approach to Fibromyalgia

“The effects of not getting good blood flow to your brain, joints and muscles?…. Fibromyalgia” – >Vital Motion

Erik Hiester D.O., is not your ordinary doctor. He’s an interesting blend of engineer and doctor. Hiester’s first love was biomedical engineering (B.S. and M.S.). Wanting more contact with patients, he became a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. After encountering so many people in pain during his family practice residency, he took another left turn and became probably the first biomedical engineer and family practice physician to receive a fellowship in interventional pain medicine at Emory.

Then he put it all together to help produce a machine he believes could help people with fibromyalgia and others with pain, fatigue and other symptoms. The machine resulted from a bit of the serendipity which leavens so much of science. One of Hiester’s neighbors, a bioengineer, had developed a device which increases the circulation in the body. He planned to use it for osteoporosis but Hiester, overwhelmed with the many FM patients he was seeing, saw an opportunity in fibromyalgia.

After a trial produced good results, the team was expanded, the Vital Motion company was borne, the device was improved, patents were registered, and the FDA approved it as a Class I Medical Device. Last year, Vital Motion’s Hummingbird Machine won a Production Innovation Award from Frost and Sullivan.

The Exercise Conundrum in Fibromyalgia and ME/CFS

Exercise is important for cardiovascular health, cognition, mood and pain relief, but how to get the benefits of exercise without getting hammered has been one of the great questions for many people with FM, ME/CFS and allied disorders. When even mild activity can bring pain, how to get the blood flowing without producing a symptom flare?

Vital Motion may have found a way. Their Hummingbird machine triggers a reflex that gets the blood flowing in the lower and perhaps even the upper body – while you’re sitting down. It presents the possibility of getting some of the benefits of exercising while not actually exercising.

Instead of pounding away to get one’s blood flowing during what, to be honest, is going to be a very limited walk anyway (and is likely going to leave one in pain), Vital Motion’s Hummingbird device purports to gets the blood and fluids in your body moving without your ever leaving your chair.

Activating “The Second Heart”

The device – which one plugs in and then steps on with the front of your foot – produces a vibration detected by sensors on the front of the foot called Meissner’s Corpuscles.  This in turn activates something called the postural reflex arc at the front of the foot.

That reflex then stimulates the soleus muscle in the calf which plays an important enough role in our circulation as to sometimes be called “the second heart.” Activation of that soleus muscle returns pooled blood and interstitial fluid back into the circulatory system, increasing blood flow to the body and hopefully reducing symptoms.

Plantar stimulation may sound like science fiction, but the medical literature suggests it may work.  Back in 2005, plantar stimulation was shown to increase both peripheral and system circulation.  Calf muscle pump stimulation substantially improved sleep in one small study. It reversed the resting tachycardia that eleven women experienced after 20 minutes of sitting. It’s been shown to increase blood flows in the legs, and it reversed the blood pooling in the legs of almost 50% of women in one study.

The Hummingbird is somewhat similar to the Avacen 100 device developed for fibromyalgia which uses microprocessors and heat to enhance microcirculation of the hands and hopefully the rest of the body. Both machines attempt to improve the circulation, increase oxygen delivery, reduce sympathetic nervous system activation and relieve pain.

 Fibromyalgia Study

“Without a specific therapeutic agent for disorders like fibromyalgia, this device offers a reasonable way to improve a patient’s daily life.” Dr. Charles Lapp, creator of the Hunter Hopkins Center in North Carolina

One small, unblinded fibromyalgia study in 2014 using an older, prototype device involved 23 patients with moderate FM. Thirteen dropped out (six because of increased pain, four because of time concerns; others for a variety of reasons). The increase in pain appeared to occur in sicker FM patients who couldn’t tolerate the vibration of the older, more primitive device. (The new device uses a smartphone app which allows one to control the amount of vibration present.)

(For sicker patients, Dr. Hiester starts lower and goes slower. He notes that minor adverse events that occur early usually resolve themselves as the body gets adjusted to new circulation.)

The results suggested that some of the dropouts may have really missed something.  Over 12 weeks, the ten participants reported a 33% improvement in symptoms – equal to moving them from the moderate case of FM to a mild case – plus a patient reported outcome study showed an almost 60% increase in activity.

Plus, the device comes with virtually no side effects in those it helps.

A statistical analysis suggested that longer may be better with the Hummingbird. The more a person used the device, the better they did.  Given that some people in the study only used it five minutes a day, the results were encouraging, indeed. (A minimum of 15 minutes twice a day is suggested and 30 minutes twice a day is probably optimal.)  If you get the device, give it some time; it may take up to 6 weeks before you see benefits.

Hiester reported that his own anecdotal experience suggests that up to 75 – 80% of FM patients are getting relief. As some people use it for hours a day without negative effects, the potential for side effects – except for the very hypersensitive – appears to be low.

Interestingly, the study also found the FM patients exhibited low diastolic blood pressure while sitting – a sign of reduced blood flow to the tissues.  (Anecdotal reports suggest that lower blood pressure may be common in ME/CFS as well.) The fact that the low blood pressure levels were positively correlated with symptoms suggested that the Hummingbird’s ability to induce small elevations in blood pressure may be helping.

Cindy Leyland, an editor at Prohealth and person with fibromyalgia, reported on her experience with the Hummingbird. It was not a cure – it’s not supposed to be – but it did help.

The results are truly quite amazing.  I still have insomnia, fatigue and pain. But I find my overall wellness improved, with less life interruption because of pain and fatigue, and I credit the Hummingbird with some of that improvement. I will continue my flight with this Bird.

POTS / ME/CFS / Dysautonomia and Others

The Hummingbird was developed for use in fibromyalgia but it’s hard to believe that if it works, it wouldn’t also help out in chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and other allied diseases. The evidence rests on the notion that problems with the circulation in the lower body are impeding blood flows back to the heart, brain and tissues.

That problem – which is called reduced preload – is precisely what Dr. David Systrom found in a large study of people with idiopathic exercise intolerance. This group, which includes people with ME/CFS, FM, POTS and others who have difficulty exercising but have no detectable heart issues, have been a mystery. Systrom’s invasive exercise tests suggest that circulatory problems that prevent sufficient venous return of blood to the heart are one cause.

The insufficient venous return results in blood pooling in the lower body which then causes in a reduction of blood flows to the heart, brain and muscles – potentially accounting for some of the problems with exercise, gut issues and cognition found in these diseases.

Vital Motion is primarily marketing the Hummingbird to FM patients, but if it works in FM, it’s hard to believe that it will not be helpful for people with ME/CFS/POTS. (Those with other circulatory problems such as diabetes, peripheral neuropathy and the elderly might conceivably benefit as well.)  The University of Tennessee is assessing the Hummingbird’s effectiveness in chronic pain patients.

I wondered about the bedbound. Getting the blood flowing better seems like a great idea for the bedbound. I asked Dr. Hiester if the Hummingbird could provide enough of a boost to help people to move more without relapsing. No studies have been done but Hiester thought it might be possible.

Compare the potential cost-effectiveness of devices like this, which, if they work, require only one-time purchase (not covered by insurance) with drugs and their never-ending costs.

The device is not a cure but used consistently it appears to have the potential to ameliorate the symptoms in FM/ME/CFS, POTS, etc. while the search for the cure goes on.

Note that if you have uncontrolled blood pressure (UBT) or deep vein thrombosis, this machine, since it can elevate blood pressure a bit, is not for you. If, on the other hand, you have FM and/or related diseases, particularly if you experience dizziness or low blood pressure, the Hummingbird might be worth trying.

Getting the Hummingbird

The Hummingbird sells for $399. It comes with a risk-free guarantee. Pay for it now and if it doesn’t produce results over the next 45 days, return the device and get your money back with no restocking fee.

Find out more about purchasing it here.

The Vital Motion website states that 75% of those buying the device have kept it.

I haven’t tried the Hummingbird yet but both I, with my ME/CFS/FM/MCS, and my partner, with her ME/CFS and POTS, are going to try it. The Hummingbird and Dr. Heister were introduced to me by Nancy McGrory Richardson, a long-time ME/CFS supporter, whom I trust and have known for years.

Health Rising is not affiliated with Vital Motion and does not receive benefits from the sale of the device.

Epson America Unveils Industry's First 1080p Resolution Front Projector to Break $2,000 Price Mark

Epson Builds Upon Leadership Position as Number-One Selling Projector Brand Worldwide With New High-Performance, High-Value 1080p PowerLite Home Cinema 6100
DENVER, Colo. – Sept. 4, 2008 – Continuing its long-established leadership role as the number one selling projector brand worldwide (i), Epson today announced the introduction of its latest 3LCD 1080p front projector, the high-performance, and high-value PowerLite Home Cinema 6100. Redefining the price-to-performance equation, the Home Cinema 6100 provides full 1920 x 1080 progressive high definition resolution at an amazing $1,999 price point, bringing the big-screen high definition home theater experience to an even wider range of consumers.

“Our goal is to drive the growth of the home theater market in a wide range of customer segments, bring incredible big-screen experiences to first-time home entertainment consumers and to the most discerning AV elitists,” said Rajeev Mishra, director, Projector Marketing and Development, Epson America. “The Home Cinema 6100 is especially ideal for home theater enthusiasts, delivering the optimal balance of quality, performance, ease-of-use, and flexibility at an outstanding value.”

At the heart of the Home Cinema 6100’s optical imaging engine is Epson’s latest-generation D7 high definition resolution LCD technology. Unlike projectors which use a spinning color wheel with a white segment, 3LCD technology delivers realistic, vibrant colors without the possibility of color break-up. This latest technology also provides substantially improved contrast, reaching an incredible 18,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio (a 50 percent improvement over earlier models) to deliver brighter and more accurate whites and darker blacks.

Another contributing factor to the Home Cinema 6100’s increased contrast is its exclusive Dynamic Iris system, which allows light to be controlled precisely on a frame-by-frame basis. This feature is especially ideal for projecting fast-action movies that involve quick changing scenes. This is largely due to the Dynamic Iris system’s ability to make automatic light output adjustments up to 120 times per second. The projector also features Epson’s exclusive Cinema Filter that delivers a larger color space for improved color accuracy and a more film-like image. Epson has also collaborated with Fujinon – the leading provider of precision optics to the digital film and HDTV camera industry - to develop this projector’s unique OptiCinema™ multi-lens system. This feature projects clean, precise edges with consistent image quality across the entire screen. It also gives users more options and flexibility in terms of where they wish to install the projector.

The Home Cinema 6100’s light source uses a newly-updated E-TORL® (Epson Twin Optics Reflection Lamp), an exclusive Epson design. Unlike off-the-shelf lamps, the ultra high efficiency E-TORL design provides optimum light uniformity and is rated at 200 watts (compared to 170 watts with earlier models). This enables the projector to deliver an incredible 1,800 lumens of white and color light output. It also allows the projector to be used with larger screen sizes (greater than ten feet diagonal), while still providing a bright, impressive picture.

A significantly improved airflow system in the Home Cinema 6100 contributes to more efficient use of power, reduced cool-down periods and lower fan speeds that result in quieter operation (only 22 db) than earlier models. The airflow system also takes advantage of an advanced air filtration system that achieves up to 98 percent efficiency which contributes to longer filter life.

The Home Cinema 6100 features numerous high definition inputs, including a high definition component video input as well as two HDMI version 1.3a digital inputs. An S-video input and a composite video input are also provided, along with a VGA-type RGB input (D-sub 15) to accept a wide variety of computer resolutions including high definition, bringing the number of HD-compatible inputs to four.

Stylishly designed, the Home Cinema 6100 features a white casing with silver accents and a reversible Epson logo on the front panel that can be reoriented for tabletop, shelf and ceiling mounting. An integrated cable hook ensures that connections always remain solid and secure, while an optional rear panel cable cover fully encloses the input panel to hide wiring.

Availability and Support
The Epson Home Cinema 6100 will be available in November through authorized Epson projector dealers and select retail outlets for an estimated street price of $1,999. The projector also comes with the service and support only Epson can offer, including a two-year limited warranty with toll-free access to PrivateLine, Epson’s priority technical support, and free overnight exchange with ExtraCare Home Service.

Six Tips for Landscape Recovery after Storm Damage

Six Tips for Landscape Recovery after Storm Damage

Cleaning up in the aftermath of a storm can be an ordeal for any property owner or tenant, and require much more time and effort than picking up a few branches and broken limbs. Storms that heavily damage trees and other large pieces of the landscape can be a potential hazard for the lessor and lessee.

After Mother Nature plays her heavy hand during spring storms – or any other time of the year – it’s best to take a step back and formulate a strategic plan for the cleanup, say landscape professionals. Also, communicating with tenants to discourage them from tackling a potentially dangerous situation during cleanup is prudent.

Property Owners and Tenants Probably Shouldn’t “Do It Yourself”

Depending on the extent of storm damage, calling in the experts to remove debris and deal with fallen trees is always a good idea, says Chris Lee, President of Earthworks. A storm-damaged landscape can produce a number of hazards, including trees that may appear to be stable but have been damaged and can fall.

In 2012, an Annapolis, Maryland, man was killed while working for a tree care company to help clear trees downed by a severe storm. While in the backyard of a home damaged by heavy wind and rain, a tree fell on top of him.  He was dead before emergency personnel arrived.

Lee recalls a similar instance when a maintenance man at a client property became permanently disabled while attempting to cut up a tree.

“They were trying to save money and thought anyone can cut up a tree,” he said. “ If there are large trees or limbs down, it’s typically best to get a professional, especially with large fallen trees.”

Utility providers should be contacted when dealing with downed power lines or hot lines that are tangled in trees.

But first, the best strategy is draw up a plan rather than jump into the cleanup too quickly, Lee said. He, along with the Center for Disease Control (CDC), recommends 6 core tips and precautions for restoring a storm-damaged landscape.

1. Create a Plan and Identify Potential Hazards Before Storm Cleanup

Prioritize the cleanup by first determining any access issues to the home, cars or entrances and exits elsewhere on the property. Also, identify potential dangers, like trees that are unstable and limbs hanging in tree canopies.

Working in conditions with good visibility after the storm is essential.

2. Use Extreme Caution when Cutting or Removing Trees

Trees are extremely heavy and can cause serious injury or death. During cutting and removal, trees can shift, “jump” or roll, Lee says.

“Trees are extremely heavy and can cause serious injury or death if you don’t understand how the weight shifts as you cut,” he said.

Another potential danger is chainsaws and other cutting devices used to cut and remove trees. Only experienced operators of equipment like chainsaws should be permitted to the “heavy lifting” of cleanup,” Lee added.

3. Inspect Standing Trees for Instability and Potential Removal

A careful assessment needs to be made regarding additional tree trimming to stabilize and rebalance the damaged trees after limbs and other debris have been removed. A tree that looks like it fully survived the storm may actually be damaged. Lee recommends close inspection of the tree to determine if any structural damage has been done.

Also, some stable but unsightly trees may need to be removed.

4. Prune Smaller Trees, Shrubs and Perennials Affected by Storm Damage

Smaller ornamental trees, shrubs and perennials often are affected by storm damage. A determination should be made if the damaged plant life can be salvaged or if removal is necessary. Each plant heals in its own way and some may not be able to overcome the damage.

“Expert advice for this is important as different varieties of plants have different abilities to recover,” he said. “Also you have to weigh recovery time and unsightliness against replacement cost and make that decision.”

5. Inspect Landscape for Drainage Issues

Storms often produce heavy rains that can wash away a landscape. In addition, the drainage system could be altered.

Assess any soil erosion and changes to site drainage, and determine if a problem exists and how to best correct it. Also, mulch that washes out of beds will need to be removed and replenished.

6. Handle Standing Water With Care

Standing water resulting from heavy rains and flooding can be a health hazard, especially in extreme circumstances when the home has been flooded. Water from a flooded structure can contain fecal material from overflowing sewage systems as well as agricultural and industrial waste.

The CDC recommends wearing protective clothing and gloves, and keeping open cuts or sores exposed to floodwater as clean as possible by washing them with soap and applying an antibiotic ointment to discourage infection during cleanup.

While the damage from severe weather may appear to be done when the storm moves out, several factors should be considered before tackling cleanup. A well-organized plan will help the homeowner and resident safely get the landscape back on its feet.

Hearing Loss in the Mining Industry

November 27, 2012

The most common occupational illness for miners is hearing loss. Immediately noise levels come to mind – the large drilling machines, close proximity to loud machines and the reverberation off the walls of the mine. According to NIOSH and the CDC, by age 60, 75% of miners have a hearing impairment due to exposure to noise jumping castle.
Hearing Protection for Miners in the Mining Industry
Hearing loss is 100% preventable and unfortunately, once it occurs, there is no cure. You may not even notice that the damage has occurred right away, because it causes no pain and the damage is not visible.

If you are a miner and have loss of hearing, you may experience these symptoms:

• Difficulty hearing warning signals
• Difficulty hearing what someone is saying
• Accidents
• Ringing or buzzing in your ears
• After you leave a noisy area, your hearing may seem dull or muffled
• Headaches
• Tiredness
• Stress

Miners Can Protect Their Hearing with Custom Ear Plugs

Do not wait to experience any of these symptoms before you protect your ears with hearing protection. Custom Protect Ear dB Blockers™ custom fit earplugs are more comfortable and offer superior hearing protection to any disposable earplug. However, did you know that they are more cost effective as well?

You can reduce your hearing protection costs by 60% over five years when an entire facility is fit.
dB Blockers™ are more comfortable because there is only one way for them to fit and they made for each individual. They also make it easy for workers to communicate with each other because of our proprietary tuned filter that allows users to hear better with the plugs in than if they take them out.

Our product is safer for miners because it allows them to hear. Hear warning signals, hear backup alarms, and hear the roof. Our dB Blockers™ are made from a non-flammable, hypoallergenic silicon blend (called SkinSoft™) unlike disposable earplugs, which are flammable and make users prone to ear infections. Disposable foam earplugs also swell when they come in contact with water or perspiration.
We urge you to consider Custom Protect Ear dB Blockers for your mine for a product that can be worn for an entire shift because if you can’t hear, it’s not clear.

CPE Leads on Noise Suppression Technology Hearing Protection

October 23, 2012

Custom Ear Protect (CPE) has been in the hearing protection business for over three decades. Their ability to produce a superior custom fit product at the cost of disposable ear plug is an accomplishment in itself. Not just cost, but quality factors have brought CPE to take a leading stance on noise suppression technology.  Custom Ear Plugs dB Blockers from Protect Ear

Thousands of companies worldwide trust their employees to CPE’s extensive line of hearing protection devices. Some of the biggest brand names in the business use dB Blockers and Sensear products offered by Custom Ear Protect.

From Alcoa to Kraft, Nabisco, Shell, Boeing, Chevron, Goodrich, Toyota, Air Canada, Honda, International Paper and Sterling Trucks.  We believe everyone, regardless of what size company they work at, deserves the best quality hearing protection.

Sound energy is expressed in decibels and is the bases of the name for dB Blockers. A test showing the noise levels within a specific plant is determined by performing a Dosimetry test. This test will show the full extent of noise your workers are subjected to over long periods of time.

The final results will determine which dB Blocker a company should use to best protect their employees. CPE can arrange this test and help in choosing the right custom ear plugs that fit the outcome of the report. All noise is not the same and without the specifics it can be difficult to understand which protection is best.

Custom ear plugs are a major factor in use and compliance within the workplace. With their highly trained staff a fitting takes just a few minutes. An impression is made of the ear and canal so that every dB Blocker is a perfect fit to comfort and safety alike. CPE has a FitRight Guarantee with everything they do, if the product doesn’t fit, you don’t pay.

A final process of workplace implementation of the hearing protection devices is yet another important step. We at CPE have set programs to help make sure that every worker is in compliance with the safety protection being offered. Not only is the color of our hearing devices easy to see, but the comfort and fit, will make anyone want to wear their devices all day, every day.

If you would like CPE to arrange a  noise dosimetry test for your company, please sign up for a noise level exposure test, submit a Dosimetry Test Request form (80K pdf).

Why Should You Choose Custom-Moulded Over Disposable Earplugs?

September 25, 2012

Custom Molded Vs. Disposable Earplugs

Custom-moulded earplugs, sometimes called Personalized Hearing Protection, are just as, if not more, effective for the prevention of noise-induced hearing loss as are disposable earplugs. There have not been head-to-head studies of the relative effectiveness, but two major long-term retrospective studies of the effectiveness of hearing loss prevention programs can provide insight. Read Complete Whitepaper by Dr. John Franks.

Choose Custom-Moulded Over Disposable Earplugs Abstract

In 1989 Franks, Davis and Krieg (Franks, 1989) reported that noise-exposed employees of a company that provided Employee noise protection custom earplugs to all of its employees had changes in hearing over a ten-year period that were no different from their non-noise-exposed colleagues and peers.  The company had six facilities around the United States with noise-exposed employees as well as a cadre of employees of similar age and gender who were not exposed to workplace noise. All of the employees studied had been with the company for the ten-year period studied. Audiometric, health and hobby histories, as well as noise-exposure levels were known for all employees. A ten-year segment of the records was used for the analysis.

It was company policy to provide custom earplugs for use at work or home as well as to provide disposable earplugs to employees to use outside of work. Analysis of the data revealed that the changes in hearing that were observed were not due to exposure to workplace noise. Having resolved that and adjusting for age, statistical analysis showed hypertension and diabetes increased the propensity to have worsening hearing for women. For men, the factors were hypertension, diabetes, and use of firearms.

Read Complete Whitepaper

In 2011, Heyer, et al. (Heyer N, 2011- view abstract) reported a retrospective analysis of hearing conservation programs for three foam ear plugs different companies, all of which relied upon premoulded or slow-recovery foam disposable earplugs to protect employees from noise-induced hearing loss.

  1. > Company 1 made automobile body components,
  2. > Company 2 made automotive parts,
  3. > Company 3 was a major food processing company.

All of the employees had been at the study sites for longer than the period of time studied. Noise-exposure and hearing protector use histories were established for each employee as were audiometric records including relevant medical and hobby histories. In this study there was not a cohort of fellow non-noise-exposed employees, so the outcome was compared to a standardized set of data (American National Standards Institute, S3.44-1996 (R 2006)). The noise-exposure levels in the three companies studied were similar, as were they to the noise-exposure levels in the Franks, et al. (1989) study. Heyer, et al. found that two factors were associated with changes in hearing: age and noise-exposure level. Because of the strong effects age and noise-exposure level had on the data, it was not possible to assess the influence of other factors.

Had the pre-moulded disposable earplugs been used as effectively as the custom-moulded earplugs, then noise-exposure level should not have been a main effect associated with changes in hearing; with age factored out, noise-exposure level was as much a primary risk as would be expected for the unprotected.

Hearing Loss in the Aviation Industry

May 11, 2012

dB Blocker™ Discreet VentedEffects of Noise Exposure

On their website, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) publishes a detailed brochure about hearing and noise in aviation occupations. It explains how the ear works, general types of noise and the effects of noise exposure, both in everyday activities and in the aviation industry in particular.

Written specifically for pilots, the FAA explains that hazardous noise occurs not only on the ground but also in the air. We would expect aircraft equipment, jet efflux, propellers, and rotors to cause noise induced hearing loss, but cabin conditioning and pressurization systems also give off noise that can cause hearing loss with prolonged exposure. Cockpit or cabin noise can be so loud that pilots have to shout to be heard buy inflatable giant water slide. Over time, even cockpit noise can cause hearing impairment.

How can pilots and other aviation workers protect themselves from noise induced hearing loss?

The FAA recommends limiting the duration of exposure to noise, but also recommends insertable-type earplugs. The FAA’s brochure states, “To be effective, earplugs must be inserted properly to create an air-tight seal in the air canal.” Custom Protect Ear’s dB Blockers™ are made to fit the individual’s ear exactly. It’s made of medical grade silicones that are soft and flexible, creating a comfortable, custom fit.

In fact, it’s no secret that we help aviation employees protect themselves from long term hearing loss. Some of our customers are big names in the aviation industry like WestJet, Air Canada, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing. Passengers can also protect themselves from the effects of prolonged exposure to noise when flying across the country. dB Blockers worn on such flights allow those wearing them to arrive much more refreshed and less tired. If you or someone you know works in the aviation industry, share the FAA brochure with them and tell them about CPE’s custom ear protection. We are here to help.

Flying from Zanzibar

Abeid Amani Karume International Airport welcomes travellers flying from Zanzibar with Qatar Airways, and provides an excellent starting point for any journey from Tanzania. Located just five kilometres from Zanzibar’s city centre, the airport is relatively modern and - despite its small size - extremely efficient and welcoming. Staff go out of their way to ensure customers have a smooth and trouble-free start to their travels, and the construction of a new terminal has considerably improved facilities at this friendly airport.

Transportation and parking

Transport to and from the airport is best done by a pre-booked taxi, which your hotel concierge should be able to arrange for you. Buses do run between the city centre and the airport, but they can be very crowded and inconvenient for customers travelling with large amounts of luggage. Parking is limited at the airport and spaces can fill up very quickly, so it is advisable to leave your vehicle at an alternative location and take a taxi to the airport. The taxi rank is located outside the main passenger terminal.

At the airport

Customers flying from Zanzibar with Qatar Airways depart from the main Departures hall in Terminal 2. While check-in times are relatively quick due to the compact nature of the airport, security checks can take considerably longer and are very strict, so allow between one to two hours to check-in and clear security before your flight is due to depart.

Facilities and amenities

Although the new terminal has improved facilities, they are still somewhat limited. A private lounge area is available for First and Business class customers, while the general lounge area in the Departures hall is spacious and well laid out, with good toilet facilities and a baby changing area. Food vendors and vending machines offer a limited selection of on-the-go snacks and drinks. Some retail outlets are available, selling accessories and Duty Free products. Wi-Fi is available in some areas for a fee.

Since his late teens, Kenny Garrett has lived the kind of life most musicians only fantasize about. He's been a sideman for legends like Miles Davis, Art Blakey, Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw, and the Duke Ellington Orchestra. Emerging in the mid-'80s as one of contemporary jazz's most exciting and eclectic new solo artists, the saxophonist's albums have earned him worldwide recognition, four-star reviews, and top spots on reader polls and Rolling Stone's "hot list." Known for years primarily for his adventurous playing and sparkling improvisations, Garrett finally came into his own as a composer with his 1997 Grammy-nominated Warner Bros. release Songbook -- his first album comprised entirely of his own compositions. The concept behind Simply Said, Garrett's latest Warner Jazz release, must have been to further reflect his growth as a songwriter, keeping memorable melodies as the focus while exploring -- as the stylistically diverse performer has always done -- new exotic, rhythmic possibilities within the jazz framework. While Garrett has been very successful in the past covering the classics of influential artists (as he did on his previous Warners projects, 1993's Black Hope, 1995's Triology, and 1996's Pursuance: Music of John Coltrane), his growth as a songwriter has unleashed a desire to journey beyond what people might expect based on past projects. While Garrett kept his playing simple on lush, hypnotic ballads like "Can I Just Hold Your Hand?," "Sounds Like Winter," and "Words Can't Express," he and his core unit of gospel pianist/organist Shedrick Mitchell, acoustic bassist Nat Reeves, and drummer Chris Dave can't help but stir up the fires of the unexpected throughout the rest of the collection. Playful titles like "Organized Colors" (a nearly ten-minute piece incorporating a multitude of shades from silky and seductive to swinging and percussive), "Delta Bali Blues," "G.T.D.S" (aka "Give the Drummer Some"), and the whimsical piano, sax, and percussion jam "Charlie Brown Goes to South Africa" reflect the spirit Garrett was after here. Simply Said also features guest appearances by drummer Jeff Watts, electric bassist Marcus Miller ("G.T.D.S"), and Pat Metheny (who plays an atypical harmony role on "Yellow Flower" and "Sounds Like Winter"). ~ Jonathan Widran

Cool Jazz - Released May 16, 1997 | Warner Jazz

Songbook is the first release by alto saxophonist Kenny Garrett to feature his frequent touring quartet -- pianist Kenny Kirkland, drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts and bassist Nat Reeves -- on a program that consists entirely of Garrett's own compositions. Always inventive, curious, daring, and exuberant, Garrett's Songbook proves him worthy of the alto legacy that most people (both fans and musicians) seem to agree he carries, as he demonstrates what sounds like the uncanny ability to play two-faced -- one face looking forward to the freshness of new concepts and creations as yet undiscovered, yet with another face which simultaneously looks back to the fine, fierce alto tradition of Phil Woods and Charlie Parker. The band stretches out luxuriously in the Miles Davis tribute "Before It's Time to Say Goodbye," this first recording of Garrett's perennial in-concert crowd pleaser "Sing a Song of Song," "Ms. Baja" and "Brother Hubbard," and Garrett simply sounds like a true master. Garrett also pays tribute to Woody Shaw with "Wooden Steps." ~ Chris Slawecki

Cool Jazz - Released September 30, 1994 | Concord Music Group

Taken in small doses, Boney James can be enjoyable to listen to. The Grover Washington-influenced saxophonist always sounds soulful, sincere, and passionate playing over R&B-ish rhythms. The problem is that James sounds virtually the same on every song he plays, and the individual tunes lack any personality of their own. So listening to four minutes of Boney James will tell listeners everything that he will play for the next 40 minutes; it does not change or evolve. And James' recordings do not stand out from each other, so the music on Trust is very similar to that found on all other Boney James CDs. If you enjoy one Boney James record, you will like them all, but is there any reason to own more than one or two? ~ Scott Yanow

Cool Jazz - Released October 4, 1996 | Concord Music Group

Working with producer Paul Brown, Boney James' Boney's Funky Christmas is an entertaining set of loose, funky and bluesy interpretations of both classic Christmas carols ("The Christmas Song") and more obscure contemporary selections like "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and Donny Hathaway's "This Christmas." Two selections, "This Christmas" and "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?," are sung by Dee Harvey and Bobby Caldwell, respectively, but the star of this show remains James and his saxophone, who breathe new life into these holiday cuts. ~ Thom Owens

Cool Jazz - Released October 23, 2001 | Concord Music Group

The masterful fusion of street funk, sensual R&B, and contemporary jazz that Boney James accomplishes on Ride continues to make him a favorite with listeners around the world. The multi-talented saxophonist, keyboardist, producer, and composer wrote or co-wrote nine of the songs for this ten-song program and features such stellar guest talent as Marcus Miller, R&B singer Jaheim on the title track, Dave Hollister's gospel-flavored street style heard on "Something Inside," and Trina Broussard's crystal-clear vocals on the opening track, "Heaven." Boney James recorded two of the songs live in the studio, seasons "This Is the Life" with a tropical flavoring complete with steel pans, and downright floors listeners on the groove-oriented "See What I'm Sayin'," with Marcus Miller's funky basslines doing the walking while Boney James' saxophone does the talking. Ride is more intense and funkier than James' duet collaboration with trumpeter Rick Braun on Shake It Up, but doesn't stray far from his ability to do just that. It's definitely a smooth ride and one listeners will enjoy. ~ Paula Edelstein

Cool Jazz - Released July 26, 2005 | Rhino Atlantic

This 1961 release was intended to explore the humorous side of trombonist Frank Rosolino, relying as much on his vocals as his proven skill as an instrumentalist. Sticking mostly to standards and accompanied by a solid rhythm section consisting of pianist Victor Feldman, bassist Charles C. Berghofer, and drummer Irving Cottler, the leader's skills on trombone are never in doubt, but his prowess as an effective jazz vocalist is another matter. Although liner note writer Herb Heinman simply refers to his singing as "offbeat," his nasal sound and the considerable reverb added to every track grow quickly tiresome, although the cover photo is hilarious. Perhaps latecomers to Rosolino's music will have an even greater time thinking of him in a humorous vein; before shooting himself to death in 1978, he shot both of his young sons, killing one and blinding the other. ~ Ken Dryden

Cool Jazz - Released February 12, 2007 | Rhino Atlantic

Jimmy Giuffre's four Atlantic albums of 1958 are among his rarest and most satisfying releases. Unlike the other three, this particular set finds Giuffre (tripling as usual on clarinet, tenor and baritone) leading a somewhat conventional band, a seven-horn pianoless nonet. They perform 11 songs from the musical The Music Man, best-known of which are "76 Trombones," "Gary, Indiana" and "Till There Was You." The arrangements (all by Giuffre) swing, the beauty and joy of the melodies are brought out, and the leader (who takes all of the solos except on "The Wells Fargo Wagon") is in top form. A true rarity. ~ Scott Yanow

Smooth jazz presents something of a marketing quandary for both its practitioners and the labels that market them. On the one hand, it positions itself in the marketplace as a subgenre of jazz; on the other hand, serious jazz fans tend to look down their noses at its shiny surfaces, smooth textures, and harmonic simplicity. You could argue that smooth jazz is jazz for people who hate jazz, but the fact is that many of those jazz fans who affect a public attitude of snobbish superiority do get off on this stuff privately, especially when it's got a certain amount of depth and complexity to it, which it sometimes does. Shakatak is a good example of a smooth jazz outfit that makes music even jazz snobs can get behind. Yes, the keyboards and vocals are layered sumptuously and the chord progressions unroll with blissful predictability; yes, the bass and drums lay down a barely funky groove that keeps things upbeat without making you feel like you have to dance. But on songs like "Falling" and "Running Back to You," those chord progressions have a pleasing tendency to slide a bit sideways from time to time, and even the cheesy vocoder bits are more cute than annoying. And vocalist Jill Saward is never anything less than an utter treat to listen to. If it bothers you to call this jazz, then call it pop music for jazz fans who think they're too sophisticated for pop music. ~ Rick Anderson

We live in exciting times, brought by advances in technology! Within the space of 70 short years, organisations went from a 30-ton computer, with 100 bytes of memory, to self-driving cars; virtual assistants like Siri, Cortana, Alexa and Google Home; and artificial intelligence systems used to diagnose cancer.

And, the future looks even brighter. Yet, sometimes, it could also feel confusing, onerous and unrealistic to Senior Executives, Board Directors and strategic professionals. QuattroTech™ Summit aims to change that by bringing together 22 business and technology leaders and experts to share their thoughts and experiences within different areas of digital technology.

By attending QuattroTech™, you will get valuable insights and clarity on how to harness the power of digital technology and become a driver of change in your organisation.

The program at QuattroTech™ is structured around four areas. The first three: CREATE → PROTECT → USE, reflect various stages of digital technology lifecycle.

The fourth one, DIVERSIFY, is focused solely on the catalyst that makes the final result outstanding - diversity in people. Diverse teams are the key to delivering products and services that customers want and, consequently, differentiating an organisation strongly.

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things.

Geocoder Accuracy

- Source digital street maps
- Zip code boundries
- Census tract boundries

With more than 8 million verifications annually, accuracy in QuestSoft’s Instant Geocoder is the best available.

In our primary markets, that attribute overrides everything from ease-of-use to integrations. Time and time again, Instant Geocoder has been proven to be accurate in over 10,000 government banking audits.

Accuracy includes many factors -- most importantly, the source digital street maps, zip-code boundaries, and census-tract boundaries. A reduction of quality in any of these important pieces can result in lower matches and potentially incorrect results.

QuestSoft starts with NAVTEQ digital street data -- the same data used by the vast majority of GPS systems -- to achieve the highest level of street accuracy.

We then add industry-leading zip code and census tract information. You cannot geocode an address without first being able to break it down into its components and identify each portion to match with digital street maps.

Sophisticated Street-Matching

Street-matching is quite an art form, and every geocoding system uses different search methods that could provide different results even when using the same source data -- so it's highly important to match the correct information.

Instant Geocoder databases are regularly updated, and these updates are included in our licenses. More than 1 million new addresses and global positioning enhancements have been added in each of the past two years.

We are proud of the street matching system built into our product, since it has stood up to competitive challenges and government audits over the years. At the same time we are always improving Instant Geocoder’s abilities and making it smarter.

Bethlehem Lights 9' Upswept Douglas Fir Tree 2.6 5 5 5
Love this tree Ordered this tree because I wanted a pre lit incandescent bulb tree. It did take two of us to put it together, but it is a 9 ft. tree and would have been heavier than a smaller tree. We did it rather quickly, though and it is a beautiful tree. You get plenty of replacement bulbs, too. We love it. Would recommend this tree if you have help putting it up. 12-07-14
Disappointed Was excited about this tree until I tried to put it together..took two of us and was heavy..it was advertised as being light weight and easy to put together..not..the limbs scratch your arms up and are hard to move to cover up holes..can't get it to set straight because the top is wobbly..all the lights work but not enough lights for this 9ft tree. Also the bottom of the tree is so far off the floor that the bottom metal limbs show and make it ugly at the bottom. 12-06-14
PRE LIT 9' CHRISTMAS TREE We just put our tree up and it really looks great! Pretty, lots of lights and makes a statement. I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 because it is a very, very heavy tree. I bought it thinking I could put it up myself..... NOT!! My son did it for me. I love the tree. And we had a broken light that caused a section not to light but we used the tester that we bought from QVC a couple of years ago, we found it right away, replaced the bulb with the extras that were sent, and it worked right away. Several people have seen it and have oooohed and aweeed! 12-01-14
Nice tree, lightning problems I purchased the tree last year. It's a very nice tree. The tree is all LED. That was the main reason I made the purchase. Three weeks after we put the tree up a few strands went out. I E-mailed the mainufacturer and got no response. I had to buy a kit to determine what LED lights went out. It's was very difficult to find the individual lights that went out. I will not buy this company again. 11-30-14
Not for me!!!! I bought this last year. My Grandson and his Dad put it up and I did not like it. I put off ordering the tree I usually got (I had another tree but it had all the lights where you connected it and I had given it away) I used it but after all the torments I had and I have many I still did not like it. I sent it back and told them I did not like it. I have tons of presents and you could sit them out around it. I upswept tree you get them closer to the tree but I did not either. I ordered a new tree this year when they first arrived and I know I will be happy with it. 9 11-01-14

Big reward offered as bee colonies stolen

5:24 pm on 25 July 2016

Manuka honey company Watson and Son is offering a $20,000 reward for information on stolen bee colonies.

The Ministry for Primary Industries wants to be able to more accurately define the properties of manuka honey.

Photo: RNZ / Diego Opatowski

The company said it had 200 bee colonies stolen from the Toponi Forest in Northland between July 11 and 16.

Watson and Son has put a public notice in the New Zealand Herald asking for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of the people responsible for the theft, and for the recovery of the hives.

Beekeepers say there appears to be an increase in bee hive theft and vandalism around the country due to high prices for Manuka honey.

Manuka honey is worth just over $200 million a year - with aims to increase that to more than $1 billion a year by 2028.

Top grade manuka is the mainstay of New Zealand's total honey exports, currently worth just over $200 million a year with a target of increasing to more than $1 billion a year by 2028, according to industry and government figures.

North Island beekeeper Kim Singleton told RNZ in February that there were now close to 600,000 managed hives in New Zealand - the most ever, and double the number in 2005 during the peak of the varroa mite problem.

Mr Singleton said the increase followed a business and economic modelling report that put beekeeping as the next billion-dollar industry.

Hone your healthy eating habit at spa hotels

Dec 26, 2009
Posted in: Well-being   Posted by: Admin

If it seems no time at all since the last turkey sandwich was scoffed and the last semi-cremated currant of Christmas pud met its custardy fate, then that can only mean one thing: we’ve eaten, drunk and been merry all festive season, and now it’s time to diet.

It seems there’s a different diet for every day of the year – indeed every day of the new decade, I suspect. However, the truth is that healthy eating is nothing like as complex as the hosts of nutritional spin doctors and the copious reams of literature on the subject would lead us to believe.

Drink seven or eight glasses of water each day. Eat the right amount of calories for your age, size and build.  Oh, and make sure you have some of each food group – but not too much of any group either.

That’s basically it!  But of course, we all find excuses… Such as the fact that opening a packet of crisps is so much quicker than peeling an orange; or that a dollop of full-fat cream just adds a certain “je ne sais quoi” to an otherwise healthy baked apple; or that toast doesn’t taste quite the same without some lovely golden butter atop.

A popular misconception prevails that healthy food takes longer to prepare (it needn’t) or that it isn’t as tasty (it certainly is, as the restaurants in any of the country’s top spa hotels demonstrate on a daily basis!).

With a range of stir fries and grilled, fresh foods available – not to mention some “healthy baking” to round off a perfect meal – spa restaurants are proof positive that healthy food is not only very good for you but tastes very good too.

So if you’re curious to see what it’s like to eat healthily meal after meal, spending a weekend or a few days mid-week at one of the country’s top spa hotels will give you an ideal opportunity to do just that.  Or rather not “just” that, for you’ll also be able to take advantage of all the spa’s treatment and exercise facilities at the same time.

Pursuing a healthy spa lifestyle needn’t mean the end of fun as you know it – in fact, you may find that it opens up a whole new world of enjoyment and helps you develop healthy habits that will stay with you even after you return home, relaxed and inspired to make changes in the way you eat, drink, exercise and live.
