The Next Gen VaporTower Vaporizer:

The Next Gen VaporTower Vaporizer is a heavy-duty Home herbal vaporizer. It is our in-house model that will rival all other box type vaporizers on the market today. The VaporTower dual-screen handkit suspends the material in between two screens in for vertical air flow. This allows greater surface area for hot air to flow through, resulting in a much more efficient vaporization experience than the older box style Vaporizers. The difference is profound and amazing!

Change the way you think and feel about aromatherapy and the benefits of vaporizing. The VaporTower is simple, easy to use, with a timeless design to match any style. The VaporTower is the only aromatherapy and vaporizer machine on the market with a patent pending removable and replaceable element with a LIFETIME warranty!

So join the rest of us who enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy and vaporizing.

The VaporTower Vaporizer is fancier vertical take on the VaporBox with the same vintage style and more options for the true vape aficionado. Newly added features include a removable ceramic heating element, and removable glass heater cover with built in screen holes. The housing for the electronics is made from sturdy, quality wood. The included dual-screen hands-free whip measures about 1 meter in length and is made from medical grade tubing, so your vapor will be as pure as possible without any unwanted tastes. After just a few minutes warm-up, the temperature can be adjusted with the dial. Some experimentation may be required to find the sweet spot, though a setting of 6 - 8 on the dial is recommended for the ideal temperature. An aromatherapy oil diffuser attachment is also included in the box.

Less Waiting on heat-up !!

The VaporTower herbal vaporizer is hot and ready to deliver any size healthy vapor in 2 minutes.

Set It Once and Forget it !!

The separate on | off switch allows you to find your desired temp setting with the adjustable dial, just set it and forget it.

VaporTower Vaporizer Instructions:

Getting Started using The VaporTower Vaporizer:

  • Step 1
    Turn on your VaporTower and set the dial. We recomend the 12 o’clock position.
  • Step 2
    Read all of the directions.
  • Step 3
    Carefully unscrew the bowl and set on a solid surface, glass side down.
  • Step 4
    Grind material vigorously for 10 seconds, until completely broken up.
  • Step 5
    Make sure materials in finely ground and pour onto a business card, then fold the card and pour into bowl.
  • Step 6
    Be sure material is layered evenly over the screen. DO NOT overload.
  • Step 7
    Holding the bowl by the rubber insulation, NOT the glass (which may be hot from previous use), screw the handkit back onto the bowl
  • Step 8
    Gently slide the handkit onto the heater in VaporTower. Vaporizing does not actually begin until the next step.
  • Step 9
    Start with a few short and fast puffs to begin to get a feel for the vapor without taking in too much initially. Experiment with different breath speeds and durations for varied results on your comfort level. For heavy smokers, slightly increase the setting to the 1 o’clock position and wait about 2 minutes for stronger vapor. When vapor stops producing, the material is spent.
  • Step 10
    Conversely, turn the setting down to 10 o’clock if the vapor is too strong. Long, slow and deep breaths produce the best draws/pulls of vapor mist from the VaporTower. When vapor stops producing, the material is spent. The VaporTower can burn material quickly if the heat is too high. Use with caution and experiment slowly with high temperatures until you find the best setting for you.
  • Step 11
    Carefully remove the handkit from the VaporTower after each session. Glass bowl will be extremely hot, so allow time to cool, unscrewing by the rubber insulation only. Discard your spent material and repeat the loading process as needed.

Great product

- 09/14/2016

Great vaporizer for the price. The tower works best indoors, chilling at the house or in bed. Works for herbal vaping and has an essential oil bowl for aroma therapy--being a massage therapist I use it for work and personally too.
Wide range if heat settings to fit how dry or moist your herb may be.

Sometimes the tower can be prone to falling over, twice I\'ve had the bottom piece mysteriously become super attached to the heating element. Doesn\'t always work well with hash either.

If the tubing falls off, just reattach it to the gourd when it is not hot.

Thailand foreign digital services VAT proposal

Sun 28th Jan 2018

Thailand has updated its proposals to levy VAT on non-resident providers of electronic services to its consumers. The new draft rules will limit any tax liability to VAT, and has removed the potential for corporate income and withholding taxes on foreign providers.

Highlights of the proposals include:

  • A VAT registration obligation for non-resident providers of services via a digital platform, website, app, online marketplace or other electronic network if their annual sales exceed Baht 1.8 million
  • Marketplaces which act as intermediary for the provider, including invoicing, will be responsible for accounting for any VAT due instead
  • Providers must VAT register through the tax authority’s online portal
  • There is no obligation to produce a VAT invoice
  • For B2B transactions, no VAT is due by the provider who must collect their customer’s Thai VAT number as evidence
  • Returns will be submitted online, and may be prepared in English

The latest proposals are now open to public consultation until the end of February 2018.

Final Destination

Like Satyajit Ray did with Bengal, Adoor Gopalakrishnan draws upon the history and aesthetics of his native region, Kerala. But where Ray’s films glow with a bittersweet, redemptive humanism, Gopalakrishnan’s four recent features analyze darker aspects of society and existence with a forthrightness that affords few comforts. He sets social-realist tales within the detached, almost clinical structures of fairy tale and myth, confronting both negative and positive aspects of the human organism. Gopalakrishnan’s worldview could be compared to the Marxist concept of dialectical struggle (minus utopian finale) or Hindu cosmology’s inexorable yoking of creation to destruction.

Needless to say, these films do not include singing and dancing. Even incidental music is kept to a minimum, replaced by the chirps and susurrations emanating from the forests of southwestern India. Though Gopalakrishnan’s contemporary works investigate the psychological intricacies of modern India’s history, the primeval trees provide a timeless backdrop.

Set in Karnataka, on the borderlands of Kerala, The Servile (1994) plays out the relationship between a ruthless feudal chief (Mammootty) and his simpering servant (M.R. Gopakumar). Though it takes place in the 1960s, the sadomasochistic tale has an ancient quality, enhanced by the stylized nighttime cinematography. Akin to the dramatic lighting of kathakali, a classical dance form native to Kerala and practiced by Gopalakrishnan’s family, characters frequently appear in globes of lantern light, set against pitch black.

The semi-autobiographical Man of the Story (1996) revisits Indian political upheavals from Gandhi’s era to the 1980s through the experiences of the stuttering Kunjunni (Viswanathan), who grows from teased child to notorious Maoist author; his linguistic struggles allegorize the nation’s lurches through self-determination. Shadow Kill (2002) returns to a tighter existentialism. In late-colonial 1941, a retired hangman (Oduvil Unnikrishnan) faces a moral dilemma when called upon for a rare execution. Cosmic myth, political history, and individual mortality elegantly collapse into a meditation on the paradoxical interconnectedness of life and death. Though regimes change, the ultimate rule of death remains.

Discover the best in Hill Country Living

Gruene: One of Vintage Oaks’ Favorite Things!

Posted by Vintage Oaks

Topics: Texas Hill Country

Living in the Texas Hill Country—and, especially living in New Braunfels and Gruene—means living a full life. Here, great real estate values, unmatched land buying opportunities, and incredible dining, entertainment, and recreation converge among amazing natural beauty.

Gruene Hall Gruene Hall is the oldest dance hall in the nation.

A favorite spot to spend a few hours—or an entire day and night—is the historic town of Gruene and New Braunfels. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, Gruene is just down the road from Vintage Oaks, New Braunfels’ premier land buying opportunity and home to some of the most beautiful custom-built homes in Texas.

Founded in the 1840s by German settlers, Gruene was once filled with cotton fields. Today, this charming, walkable town is filled with historic places that have been turned into must-visit spots, tasty restaurants, beautiful scenery, and unique Texas shopping. The old cotton gin is today The Gristmill, recently named one of America's Most Popular Family-Friendly Restaurants by Urbanspoon.

Gruene Hall, the oldest dance hall in Texas, remains a primo spot for Texas live music seven days a week, where you just might catch a legend; George Strait, Lyle Lovett, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chris Isaac, and Willie Nelson have all played there and upcoming shows include Merle Haggard and Todd Rundgren—not to mention Sunday Gospel Brunch, a favorite local event that regularly sells out.

Still looking for more to do? Head to the Comal River for some tubing, grab a piece of homemade fudge at Gruene General Store—one of the 40 best places to visit in Texas and a small taste of what downtown Gruene has to offer—or visit on the third weekend of the month during Gruene Market Days.

No matter how you spend your day in Gruene, be sure to save some time to head over to Vintage Oaks to take in the most impressive Texas views: the ones you could have from your piece of Texas land as a Vintage Oaks landowner.

With the best Hill Country location and five-star resort amenities, it’s no wonder Vintage Oaks is a favorite of land buyers in search of the best values in Texas.

VMware VRDCEX – On HP Mixed Reality (Windows VR)

VMware VRDCEX – On HP Mixed Reality (Windows VR)

So I am at it again… I was very very lucky to get a HP mixed reality headset for Christmas mainly down to the fact I like being purchase savvy and the laptop I purchased (sorry my amazing wife as a present) wasn’t only on offer but it still qualified for the headset for free! I thought again this was going to be a very drawn out process and well due to the work I did with the Oculus well it took me all of 20 minutes to get this up and going! The nice thing is its a little easy to set up if I want to demo this out anywhere!

There are only a few steps some hopefully oblivious you miss and others you need to do but go open my other guide in another tab here! (just for reference)

Step 1. Get all the required files for VRDCEX by cloning/downloading the GitHub Repo and getting the build from here

Step 2. Extract both these files to a common location, I decided to put these under the below folder but its fine to chose your own

Step 3. Go setup your Windows Mixed Reality Headset as you usually would if you haven’t already done so

Step 4. Go grab the latest copy of Steam and Steam VR once Steam is setup. This essentially works as our translator/interpreter for our Mixed reality headset. so we don’t need any coding. Before we start to configure VRDCEX we need to launch Steam VR just to ensure it can see the Mixed reality headset. You will also need the following plugin from here via Steam. I found I had to reboot once or twice and ensure that playing around with the Mixed Reality portal being open or not

For any demo’s I usually try and use Standing Only as space is usually limited, you may also get the very cool Portal inspired intro to help you configure the headset… I am not sure if  you will see all this below or if it was because I also have the Oculus available on my machine.

If you have got this far hopefully you will now see the below. Try and put on the headset and just make sure that SteamVR does load before continuing

You can see Steam sees the Mixed Reality and Oculus with their respective components

Step 5. Lets get down to the main bit and install/configure VRDCEX. Firstly go back to Steam and select add game at the bottom of your games list.

From here select browse and navigate to where you extracted your downloads earlier and select the executable. Hit add selected programs and you should now see this appear in your Steam library.

Step 6 (Optional). Go to your extracted files and find the assets folder and wire mock. Create a shortcut on your desktop for On-Prem_Endpoint.bat. You will also need the latest version of Java JRE. The nice thing about this is until you are ready it allows you to play with the app by emulating vCenter.

I used JRE 8U151 for my configuration
Double click your shortcut but you will need to override Windows 10 protection as it was downloaded

Check that everything is running by going to https://localhost:8082 before proceeding

Step 7. It sounds odd but go and launch the exe but don’t really worry about your headset. You need to do this as it generates a configuration file under your app data folder that you need to amend. Close the VRDCEX app once its opened and then open the config file. In mine I have put the Wireframe emulator in step 5 but you can put in your own vCenter here at any point.

Step 8. Enjoy…. Go back to Steam and launch your App! Put on your headset and enjoy your virtual datacenter

I have done a little demo video of it running just to show you the subtlety of the way Steam pulls in the Windows controllers VS the Hive or Oculus its really quite clever

SharePoint 2016 Phone Book

SharePoint 2016 Phone Book

Another SharePoint post but I thought this may help people and me again one day. The basis of my Phone Book came from the following two articles but I found one or two things that I thought in my opinion made it a little better

My first addition was other phone numbers to the profile such as Mobile or desk extension. Secondly a picture but it appears that feature is dropped from AD sync so far in SharePoint 2016.

I also found that the search had to be specific and lets be fair we don’t always want to type the full name i.e Joseph Hausmann or we may only know part or be worried about the spelling. The above articles assume you know the exact name. So when building the query if you put the following in it will allow partial names for searches.

{SearchBoxQuery}* contentclass:*spspeople

In regards to mapping the additional attributes I used a photo one here as a base line and the below to to find the AD attribute to map.

The main one I wanted was the users mobile and I hope to be able to add the internal extension some how too.

One thing I also hope to fix is sort by last name rather than first but maybe leave that for another day!

Updating Mass Office 365 User details when not AD synced

Updating Mass Office 365 User details when not AD synced

A little while back I came across an issue where someone didnt sync their AD to Office 365 as they had two separate domains. There was quite a lot of planning and politics prior to getting one domain. All the users had their email in Office 365 but this also caused a lack of love with the details in Office 365 having two offices and domains.

My main challenge was to get the phone numbers updated in Outlook so each of the offices could easily call one another. As a bonus I also included photos of staff due to people visiting each office and all the new staff starting too. This is the reason for my main picture due to the fear of calling and everything feeling a little isolated a bit like a village.

First lets drag back some details

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

$session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri “https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/” -Credential $cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection

Import-PSSession $session
get-user | select WindowsEmailAddress,Title,Department,Office,Phone,Mobilephone | Export-CSV c:\scripts\useroutput.csv

Once this has completed open the csv file within c:\scripts\useroutput.csv, change the first tab from WindowsEmailAddress to login_name.  Update any of the required fields and save this to c:\scripts\userlist.csv

You will also need to add a photo column and in here set the path for your photo. I usually use 800×600 via IrfanView as they are then usually under the 64k JPG limit.

This is also a great time to audit your users and their details and job titles with HR as you can just send them the list.

Once you have all this you can then set the update off. You may see a load of yellow warnings if things aren’t changed but don’t worry!

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

$session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri “https://ps.outlook.com/powershell-liveid/?proxymethod=rps” -Credential $cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection

Import-PSSession $session

$user_file = Import-CSV c:\scripts\userlist.csv
$user_file | ForEach {Set-user $_.login_name -Title $_.title -Department $_.department -Office $_.office -Phone $_.Phone -Mobilephone $_.Mobilephone ; $user1 = ([Byte[]] $(Get-Content -Path $_.photo -Encoding Byte -ReadCount 0)) ; set-userphoto -identity $_.login_name -picturedata $user1 -Confirm:$false} >> c:\scripts\logfile.txt

I haven’t used this in a while and couldn’t test again but hope it helps someone out there. Use at your own risk but if you do find a way of making it better do let me know..

SharePoint 2016 with Server 2016 tips and tricks

SharePoint 2016 with Server 2016 tips and tricks

When not tinkering in my VMware environment day to day the other part of my role is for application specialism. This has recently got me looking into SharePoint 2016 so that we can have a central place for reports and other services. Initially I thought this would be a walk in the park as I had the dev one up in a day or two but when scaling out odd things happen and you soon realise some things are missing since the 2013 edition.

The major grips so far are:-

  • The setup wizard well should it even be there! Only 1 page now and should you be really using it anyway.
  • The user profile service has been cut back. Microsoft doesn’t think anyone was syncing AD, yes it was clunky but you could generate an awesome phonebook from it along with other things. This then causes the people search to do weird things or not work at all. Its been replaced my Microsoft Identity Manager of which I don’t think is cheap and I still need to look into.
  • There is no update to SharePoint designer and you just use the 2013 edition.

So onto the tips to save you time when installing and configuring.

1. Installing on Server 2016

You will soon find the pre reqs don’t want to install no matter what. I found that if you run the following commands in an elevated PowerShell first you are golden

Add-WindowsFeature Web-Server,Windows-Identity-Foundation,NET-Framework-45-ASPNET,Web-Mgmt-Console,Web-Mgmt-Compat,Web-Metabase,Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console,Web-Lgcy-Scripting,Web-Mgmt-Tools,Web-WMI,Web-Common-HTTP,NET-HTTP-Activation,NET-Non-HTTP-Activ,NET-WCF-HTTP-Activation45 -Source ‘Z:\sources\sxs’

I found this here and it worked perfectly after my old snippets didn’t work

2. Tips on user accounts

I would highly suggest the first portion of this guide for recommend user accounts to use for your installation. You can always substitute your service account acronyms in if needed

Moreton Bay Regional Industry and Tourism (MBRIT) is a non-for profit, industry led organisation that provides destination, marketing projects and campaigns as well as a directory for business in the Moreton Bay region. MBRIT promotes the Moreton Bay region by collaborating with business and industry to contribute to the economic development of the region and to build stronger industry sectors within the region.

MBRIT recognises the importance of protecting the privacy of personally identifiable information collected about the visitors and users of this website, and the confidentiality and security of any information provided to us.

For the purpose of this Privacy Statement, the word ‘customer’ includes visitors to our websites, subscribers to and users of our services and purchasers of our products.

This Privacy Policy has been created to demonstrate MBRIT’s commitment to protecting our customers’ personal information and complying with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act), along with other Australian States and Territory laws governing the use of personal information, and how personal information is to be handled in terms of collection, use and disclosure, storage, access and disposal.

Personal Information

MBRIT collects personal information when we provide our services to customers. As a general rule, customers will be advised at the time of collection, why MBRIT is collecting this information and how we plan to use it; alternatively this will be apparent when your details are obtained.

Generally, MBRIT will collect personal information directly from the customer, although on occasions, agents or service providers might be engaged for this purpose. Data may also be obtained from other sources such as other companies and public documents.

Information Collected

  • MBRIT usually collects personal information including:
  • Identifying information such as name and date of birth;
  • Contact information such as street address, phone number(s), postal address and email addresses;
  • Government-issued identifiers including ACNs and ABNs;
  • Financial information, such as credit card details; and
  • Information about activities, including leisure and other lifestyle interests.

    In each circumstance, MBRIT will only collect the personal information it needs from you in order to carry out specific functions. For example, if you deal with MBRIT in the course of business, MBRIT will generally only collect your business contact information so that MBRIT can communicate with you for normal business purposes.

    If you provide MBRIT with personal information about someone else other than yourself, you must ensure that you are entitled to disclose that information and that MBRIT may collect, use and disclose that information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. MBRIT is not obligated or required to take any further steps to ensure that you have the right to disclose that information. You should take all reasonable steps to ensure that the other person is aware of the contents of this Privacy Policy such as the reason for which the information is being collected, the purpose for which the information is being collected, the intended recipient of the information, the individual’s right to obtain access to that information and details of how the individual can contact MBRIT. The said individual must also provide the consents set out in this Privacy Policy regarding how MBRIT will deal with their personal information.

    If you do not provide or authorise the provision of personal information we request, we may be unable to provide you with some or all of our products and services, or the product and services of our members / partners.

    The type of personal information that MBRIT collects will depend upon your dealings with MBRIT. MBRIT may collect personal information from you when you, for example:

    • make an enquiry with MBRIT;
    • register to receive any printed material or subscribe to any newsletter through MBRIT’s websites;
    • complete an application to attend one of MBRIT’s events;
    • enter a promotion or competition through one of MBRIT’s websites;
    • apply for a job with MBRIT or one of its service providers;
    • if you have any business dealings with MBRIT;
    • if you volunteer any personal information to MBRIT.

      Furthermore, MBRIT may use personal details in any of the following ways:

    • Responding to and fulfilling requests for our products and services;
    • Enabling us to charge credit card and deliver your booking confirmation electronically;
    • Statistical purposes to improve or better direct products and services;
    • Storing information to save time when making future bookings and purchases;
    • Involvement in our competitions and being able to contact winners;
    • Communication through our e-Newsletter mailing lists;
    • Conduct marketing, feedback and research activities to determine if there are any demographic trends in the way consumers use travel information and book travel products;
    • Manage and resolve any legal or commercial complaints or issues;
    • Perform other functions and activities relating to our business; and
    • Comply with our legal obligations.

      In doing so MBRIT may disclose your personal information to persons or organisations in Australia and overseas including, but not limited to:

    • MBRIT members and strategic partners;
    • MBRIT agents and service providers;
    • MBRIT professional advisers;
    • Payment system operators and financial institutions;
    • Customer’s agents and advisers or other persons authorised by, or responsible for, the customer;
    • Government agencies within Australia;
    • Third parties whom we are authorised to represent if you acquire products or services through MBRIT; and
    • Other parties to whom MBRIT are authorised or required by law to disclose information;

    When you are online, information is collected regarding the pages within our network which you visit. As a general rule we do not collect sensitive information. However, should this be the case, it will generally be for the purposes of providing our goods or services and also if there is a legal requirement.

    We may collect your personal information in order to send you our free e-Newsletters containing community news and communication / promotions from our members. Any personal information that you provide to us for the purposes of receiving e-Newsletters can be deleted at any time by unsubscribing from the e-Newsletter.

    If MBRIT uses your personal information to send you marketing information (such as free e-Newsletters) MBRIT will always give you the opportunity to unsubscribe.

    Non-intended Recipient

    MBRIT’s email communications may contain confidential or copyright information. If you are not an intended recipient of the said MBRIT email communication you must not in any manner keep, forward, copy, use, save or rely on that email communication. Any such action is unauthorised and strictly prohibited. If you have received an MBRIT email communication in error, please notify the sender by return email advising them of the incorrect delivery and then delete both the email you receive and your reply.

    Information Shared

    MBRIT will only make limited disclosure of your personal information.

    MBRIT may disclose your personal information to its external service providers who help MBRIT operate its business such as information technology consultants, marketing firms, advertising agencies or professional advisers. In the event that MBRIT engages such external service providers, MBRIT will require those service providers to comply with contractual privacy obligations that reflect MBRIT’s own strict privacy obligations.

    It is intended that MBRIT will only disclose your personal information with your express consent or if it is required to be disclosed by law or if it’s permitted under the Privacy Act. If a request is made to disclose your personal information under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth) (FOI Act), MBRIT will disclose your information in accordance with the FOI Act.

    MBRIT may use personally identifiable information in aggregate form to improve our goods and services including our websites to make them more responsive to the needs of our customers. This statistical compilation and analysis of information may also be used by MBRIT or provided to others as a summary report for marketing, advertising or research purposes.

    Use of MBRIT Websites

    The use, reproduction, distribution, display or transmission of any content whatsoever on MBRIT websites is strictly prohibited unless authorised in writing by MBRIT. You are not permitted in any way whatsoever to upload, distribute or publish any content from MBRIT websites which is in any way defamatory, libellous, obscene, invasive of privacy, threatening, invasive of public rights, illegal, abusive or in any way objectionable or which may constitute or encourage a criminal offence or in any way violate the rights of any party or which may, in any way, give rise to any liability or violate any law.

    MBRIT strives to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of personally identifiable information of our customers. We use a variety of physical and electronic security measures including restricting physical access to our offices and firewalls and secure databases to keep personal information secure from misuse, loss or unauthorised use or disclosure. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be totally secure.

    MBRIT takes the security of your personal information very seriously. The majority of the electronic records of personal information collected by MBRIT are stored in databases that are hosted on servers in Australia and in the United States of America (US).

    Our employees are trained on privacy and access to personal information is restricted to individuals properly authorised to do so. We also take reasonable steps to make sure that the personal information that we collect, use and disclose is accurate, complete, up to date and relevant. We keep your personal information for only as long as it is required in order to provide you with products and services and to comply with our legal obligations. When it is no longer needed for these purposes, we take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify this personal information.

    If you do not live in Australia, when you provide your personal information to MBRIT you consent to MBRIT storing your personal information on servers located in Australia and in the US. If you do not want your personal information to be transferred to Australia, please do not provide MBRIT with your personal information. If you have previously dealt with MBRIT and no longer want your personal information to be stored in Australia and in the US you can request for your personal information to be removed from MBRIT’s databases at any time.

    Any paper records containing personal information are stored securely by MBRIT. MBRIT’s employees are bound by confidentiality obligations which requires them to ensure that any personal information collected in writing is kept confidential by MBRIT.

    You acknowledge that any companies to whom personal information is disclosed which are registered in the US may be required to provide information under the US Patriot Act H.R. 3162.

    How we communicate with you

Chronic Viral Infections and Telomeres

Chronic Viral Infections and Telomeres
Do you feel worn down, fatigued, or older than you actually are? Do you wake up with a sore throat or feel achy in the morning? Low-grade, chronic infections can take a toll on your health. Ongoing immune challenges lead to oxidative damage and inflammation triggered by an infection, like a virus. The sensation of feeling older than one actually is with chronic infection may be related with an exhausted immune system and aging telomeres. Now we can take this information and apply what we know with clinical nutrition to help optimize the immune system to protect against advancing immunological age. It is possible to increase energy and feel better!

Chronic Viral Infection Cause Shortened Telomeres

The October 2017 journal Viruses recently delved into the topic of chronic viral infections and how viruses affect telomeres and biological aging. Science technology confirms that telomeres age more rapidly with chronic viral infections. Telomeres are like the plastic tips at the end of shoe laces. They function as a cap at each strand of DNA that protects our chromosomes. Telomere shortening is the main cause of age-related breakdown of our cells. Stressors, from various sources like a chronic viral infection, can increase the rate at which telomeres age and shorten. Further information on telomeres and their importance may be found at Nutrition Makes Anti-Aging Possible: Secrets of your Telomeres.

Acute vs. Chronic Infections

There are many differences with how an infection affects the body. Acute and chronic infections have very different characteristics and impact on the telomeres and immune tolerance. Acute infections cause a rapid immune response to the viral pathogen. Usually, this resolves in a short time period. In a healthy response to acute infection, you return to health as the virus is cleared with very little impact on overall telomere health.

In some cases, the immune system battles the acute infection and cannot fully clear it. If this happens, the virus transitions into a chronic infectious state. The virus maintains a low-level, persistent, semi-stable active state and creates a chronic continuous or intermittent antigen stimulus.

An antigen is a molecule that can trigger an immune response within the body. Over time, repetitive antigen stimulus causes chronic T-cell exhaustion and permanent stress on the immune system. T-cells are a type of lymphocyte/white blood cell that is directly involved with cell-mediated immunity. Every time the virus releases an antigen, the T-cells have to respond.

Healthy T-cells contain a protein called telomerase, which helps extend and stabilize telomeres. If T-cells are unhealthy and exhausted, there is less telomerase and telomeres go through a shortening process with each viral antigen hit. This process can literally become a repetitive strain and wears out the immune system. The consequence is exhausted T-cells and shortened telomeres.

The type of chronic infection, i.e. slow, latent, or productive influences the rate and release of antigen. Chronic viruses known to cause disease in humans and shortened telomeres are Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), Hepatitis B/C/D virus (HBV/HCV/HDV), human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I), human papillomavirus (HPV), herpes simplex virus-1/2 (HSV-1/2), Varicella–Zoster virus (VZV), rubeola, and rubella.

Scientists have evaluated various medications to stop T-cell exhaustion and shortened telomeres. Much of the focus pertains to cancer drugs at this time due to the link of chronic viruses with many cancers, but current medical treatments are still under investigation. However, there are some empowering findings with nutrition, viral infections, and telomeres that may help individuals better manage this challenge. Nutritional science demonstrates the versatility and amazing power of nutrition with possibilities of telomere, T-cell and immune fortification against viral activity.

Telomere Protection

Telomere protection involves many different nutrients and even getting off to a great start in life with prenatal care and nutrition. It requires nutrient-dense diets rather than diets that are calorie rich as excess calories shorten telomeres. The Standard American Diet with its high calorie, nutrient poor, and high omega-6 processed vegetable oils act like a chronic sprain/strain which causes more damage and shortening of telomeres. Instead, focus on following the Five Rules of the Leptin Diet. Each day, choose a wide variety of organic non-GMO fruits and vegetables, seeds, nuts, legumes, fish and seafood, whole grains, spices, and extra virgin olive oil mixed with moderate intake of poultry, eggs, dairy, and occasional red meat.

Several nutrients help preserve and protect telomeres. These include the omega-3 oil DHA, green tea, quercetin, multiple vitamin, tocotrienols, vitamin D, lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamin C, and B vitamins. Poor methylation function and insufficient B vitamins adversely impacts telomeres. Because telomeres rely on antioxidants for protection and sustainability, phytonutrients from colorful fruits and vegetables are essential.

Immune Support

The immune system has a higher risk for chronic viral infections and immune system stress when the body’s nutrient status is compromised. Sufficient vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc, curcumin, lactoferrin, and monolaurin can be extraordinarily helpful for combating chronic viral infections like chronic active Epstein Barr Virus or other viruses. Additional nutrients found effective for viral management include NAC, quercetin, astaxanthin, lutein, selenium, mangosteen, passion flower, gingercordyceps, and olive leaf extract

T-Cell Support

In order to keep T-cells energized, several nutrients are needed. The most fundamental nutrients include adequate protein, vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin D, vitamin E, zinc, iron, and copper. Deficiencies of these nutrients, especially vitamin A and vitamin D, can lead to more severe infections. Improving DHEA status is also helpful for age-related decline in immune system function. DHEA, a natural steroid made by the adrenal glands, provides powerful antiviral, immune enhancing effects and T-cells. DHEA declines with age and becomes depleted with elevated cortisol.

Individuals who have gene SNPs or gene defects related to methylation, glutathione, vitamin D and/or vitamin A may have increased risks for immune challenges and chronic viral infections. Individuals with these gene SNPs are more prone to cells not getting the nutrients that is needed. This may require considerably higher dietary intake to keep nutrient levels optimal and the immune system supported.

Healthy aging is everyone’s goal. No one wants to feel older than they should. Chronic infections can make anyone feel exhausted and old. Nutrient needs vary greatly from person to person, especially with chronic concerns. It however is possible to protect and reinvigorate immune cells, telomeres, and put viruses back into dormancy. Try a blend of nutrients like zinc, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, cordyceps, and curcumin or whatever your favorite immune combination is to regain some immune vitality and vigor.

How to Use a Tanning Bed

Don't kid yourself. Using a tanning bed can cause injuries if done incorrectly --the least you can do is know your stuff. Tanning is one of those things that's surrounded by cosmetic mythology. Read these steps so that you don't get burned.

  1. 1
    Go to your local tanning salon and ask about the programs they have. Most salons have a variety of beds available with many packages to choose from:
    • Low pressure. This is the traditional tanning bed. UV rays are emitted in a spectrum that is similar to natural sunlight. The lamps produce fast color (instant gratification) but the risk of sunburn is highest in this kind of bed.[1] If you burn easily, it's not recommended that you use this bed.
    • High pressure. These beds emit a higher proportion of UVA rays (versus UVB rays). UVB rays are the ones that cause sunburn.[2] In this kind of bed you'll get a deeper, longer-lasting tan, but it will be slow to build.[1] Usually this bed is more expensive.
    • Booth. This is basically a vertical tanning bed. Instead of laying down, you stand up. Parts of the skin that would normally be hidden don't come in contact with surfaces that other people's skin has touched (and sweat on, perhaps naked). Plus, it's the best option for those suffering from claustrophobia.
    • Whole body spray. Your body gets sprayed by a substance that darkens your skin through a chemical reaction. UV rays are not involved, so this is the least cancerous way to go. Keep in mind that this tan might fade away in a blotchy, unappealing way if you don't keep coming back for more.
  2. 2
    Take a tour. Visit a few salons and ask to see the beds. Is everything clean? Look closely at the beds. If you see any dirty buildup, like where the glass meets the edge of the bed, leave and never return. Otherwise, ask what kind of cleaner they use on the beds (glass cleaner doesn't remove or kill bacteria). Shop around, compare salons, and choose the one you like most.
  3. 3
    Fill out a skin analysis form. Any decent salon will make you do it (they should also refuse to (UV) tan all fair-skinned customers.) The form is used to determine your skin type (so they don't accidentally fry your skin by putting you in a bed for too long). It should only take a minute or so.
    • One important thing to be open about is what kind of prescription medication you're using. Some can affect the way your skin reacts to tanning a very bad way.
  4. 4
    Get goggles. Again, any decent salon will make sure you have goggles. If they don't insist, then they don't care about your safety (and they might be just as nonchalant about cleaning the beds in between uses). Don't worry, these funny-looking goggles won't give you raccoon eyes. They just make sure you won't go blind.
  5. 5
    Avoid tyrosine-based tanning accelerators, lotion, tanning enhancers/tingles or pills. ("“Tanning accelerators” are not approved by the FDA") Don't listen to any rumors about tyrosine. Yes, tyrosine is an amino acid that your body uses to produce melanin, which is the stuff that makes your skin look darker. That part is true. But there's no evidence (none!) that tyrosine is absorbed by your skin (or through your gut, if you're tempted to buy the pill form) and finds its way to the melanin factory. Learn How to Resist a Sales Pitch if they get pushy, or just leave.
  6. 6
    Go to your room. Strip down as low as you want to go. You can keep your underwear/bra on, or you can wear a swimsuit, or you can go nude. Use the same precautions you would take in a public shower. Remember that even though the surface of the bed should be cleaned between uses, the rest of the room probably isn't, so don't sit on the chair naked unless you're 100% sure the person before you didn't have crabs. Keep your socks on unless you're 100% sure the person before you didn't have foot warts. You know, things like that.
    • If you're really paranoid, and you don't mind the staff looking at you like you have ten heads, ask for a bottle of the cleaner so you can wipe things down yourself. Don't bring your own cleaner, though, because some cleaners (e.g. ammonia-based ones) can damage the finish on the glass in the beds, or irritate your skin in surprisingly unpleasant ways when you expose it to UV rays right after sitting on a chair that you wiped down in bleach.
    • Ask a staff member to give you a tanning bed crash course. Find out what all the buttons do. How do you shut the whole thing off? How do you control the fan? If there are separate bulbs for the face, how do you turn those on and off?
  7. 7
    Put on your safety goggles. This is a must. Don't even think about getting into that bed unless you have goggles or some kind of approved eye protection (sunglasses don't do the trick, no matter how stylish they are). Who cares how goofy you look?
  8. 8
    Get inside the bed and shut the lid. Press the button to flip the lights. There should be a timer, and the staff person should have assigned you a small time (like 4-5 minutes), no matter how much you argued that you don't burn, or that you want to get the most bang for your buck. A good tanning salon employee will know better and will start you off with a "low dosage" and increase it gradually (depending on your skin responded) every time you return. As you're laying there, pray that your DNA will prove resilient. Beg the tanning gods to spare you a sunburn. Visualize your cells producing melanin and lots of it. Or take a power nap (unless you're in a booth; napping while standing is not recommended).
  9. 9
    Get out of the tanning bed. If you're all sweaty and slick, wipe yourself down with a towel (which should have been provided). Put your clothes back on and swagger out of the salon.

Community Q&A

Add New Question
  • Should I take off my make up before going on a tanning bed?
    wikiHow Contributor
    Yes. Some cosmetics can cause adverse reactions on your skin if they're exposed to heightened UV rays.
  • Can I go to a tanning salon if I have skin cancer?
    wikiHow Contributor
    No. Tanning while having skin cancer is detrimental to your skin, as tanning is a major cause for skin cancer. It's a lot like smoking while you have lung cancer. Since you clearly have skin that is prone to skin cancer, you really should avoid using tanning beds for the rest of your life.
  • How often do you have to tan in order to see an effect?
    wikiHow Contributor
    The time needed in order to see a visible tan varies with everyone. Those with paler complexions will tan more slowly, and those with darker skin will tan at a faster rate due to the melanin production in their DNA. Overall, just try to tan at a slow but gradual rate. It may take some time, but it is safer and looks more natural.
  • Where can I get the eye goggles?
    wikiHow Contributor
    Normally, they will be provided by the tanning salon. Some places may have disposable eye stickers that act as goggles instead. Just ask at the receptionist, they will be sure to have something for you!
  • Should I wear makeup in a tanning bed?
    wikiHow Contributor
    Makeup can prevent your face from tanning or cause uneven tanning. It can also cause an allergic reaction from the combination of heat and makeup. It's best to tan with a clean face or with a light sunscreen if you use it.
  • How many times can I go tanning in a week?
    wikiHow Contributor
    2 - 3 times per week, and it's advised that you wait 36 - 48 hours between sessions.
  • Do I put on tanning lotion before or after I tan?
    wikiHow Contributor
    Before. There are ingredients in the lotion to help boost your exposure. Use a moisturizer or tan extender after.
  • Do I have to wear a bikini in a tanning bed, can't I wear a 1-piece suit?
    wikiHow Contributor
    You can, it all depends on where you want your tan lines to be.
  • What if I get sunburned? What do I do?
    wikiHow Contributor
    If you are sunburned using a tanning bed, the operator of the device is incompetent. Do not return to the tanning bed until the sunburn is healed and it is important to see a doctor for help, as this can be quite serious. Consider switching salons if you continue using a tanning bed and you might want to follow up the practices of the salon where you were burned, to ensure that nobody else experiences this.
  • Do I use any lotion or oils?
    wikiHow Contributor
    Yes, use coconut oil, and tanning lotion. Take care of your skin and realize that tanning beds aren't the best for your skin.

    • For a tan that "sticks" even longer, exfoliate right before visiting the salon. This will expose a fresh layer of skin that won't shed for a while, although it may also increase your chances of getting a sunburn.
      • If you have sensitive skin, it's best not to exfoliate or wax less than 24 hours before visiting a tanning salon.
    • Moist skin tans better - stay hydrated, and be lavish with your favourite body lotion!
    • Don't shower directly after, let the melanin in your skin absorb the tan, it's a good idea to shower before and then bathe the next day if you can wait that long.
    • Tanning won't be as efficient if you're very hairy. Consider shaving or waxing first.
    • It is usually expected that after you finish with the machine, you wipe up any remaining sweat you might have left in the bed with the small towel. This reduces the time they have to take when they clean the bed before someone else uses it. It also saves you from some embarrassment.
    • Check for skin cancer and do a breast self-examination regularly.

    • Going into the tanning bed without special goggles is very dangerous and may cause you to go blind. Even if you don't go blind, you can permanently affect your night vision, and permanently destroy your ability to see colours properly and vividly.
    • If any of the staff members are burnt and peeling, they might not be your best guides to the tanning process.
    • Do not rely on the colour of your skin to tell you when to stop tanning - in an intense, stand-up booth you can burn badly in 5 minutes and not know it until 6 hours later when you start to turn beet red. START LOW and work your way up!
    • Do not tan more often than once every other day. Your skin will continue to tan for at least 24 hours after you leave the bed - you need recovery time, or you will burn.
    • Exposing yourself to UV rays increases your chances of skin cancer, no matter how you slice it.
    • Wear sunblock (when not tanning in a tanning bed). A base tan doesn't make you invincible.
    • Don't use indoor tanning lotions outside - they contain NO SUN BLOCK.

Ilex vomitoria (Yaupon)
Marcus, Joseph A.

Ilex vomitoria

Ilex vomitoria Aiton

Yaupon, Yaupon Holly, Cassina

Aquifoliaceae (Holly Family)

USDA Symbol: ilvo

USDA Native Status: L48 (N)

Native from southern Virginia south to Florida and west to southeast Oklahoma and central Texas, Yaupon is a picturesque, upright, single- or multi-trunked shrub or small tree, growing 12-45 ft high but usually no higher than 25 ft. Female plants produce prodigious amounts of bright red, persistent berries. The leaves are dark green and small, usually less than 1 1/2 in. long. The pale gray bark is marked with white patches.

Yaupon Holly is often grown in residential landscapes and trimmed into hedges, with many cultivars popular: weeping forms, columnar forms, and dwarf forms. The ornamental twigs with shiny evergreen leaves and numerous red berries have been used as holiday decorations and make cheerful accents in the winter landscape. The leaves and twigs contain caffeine, and American Indians used them to prepare a tea, which they drank in large quantities ceremonially and then vomited back up, lending the plant its species name, vomitoria. The vomiting was self-induced or because of other ingredients added; it doesnt actually cause vomiting. Tribes from the interior traveled to the coast in large numbers each spring to partake of this tonic, and it was also a common hospitality drink among many groups. It remained popular as such among southeastern Americans into the 20th century and is still occasionally consumed today, with a flavor resembling another holly drink, the South American yerba mate, from Ilex paraguariensis. Yaupon is slow-growing and tends to get thick and twiggy on the inside, making it ideal for dense hedges but requiring careful pruning to shape it into a tree. You must have both a male and female plant to have berries. Nursery plants are typically female (fruiting) and are propagated by cuttings.
