How To Take CoQ10 (So Your Body Actually Absorbs It!)

If you’re taking statins to lower your cholesterol, you probably know that they also lower your natural levels of CoQ10.

Your cardiologist has likely suggested supplementing with CoQ10, also called coenzyme Q10, to avoid muscle pain and disease (heart problems, brain disorders, diabetes, and cancer have also been linked to low levels of CoQ10).

But absorption of CoQ10 into the bloodstream is a complicated process, and bringing your CoQ10 up to therapeutic levels may be difficult.

This guide will explain why CoQ10 is particularly important for statin users, and help you get the maximum benefit from your CoQ10 supplements.

Statins Lower CoQ10

Statin drugs lower the body’s natural CoQ10 levels.

Research has shown that cholesterol-lowering statin medications can lower CoQ10 levels. This is because cholesterol and CoQ10 are made in the same pathway in the body.

In fact, scientists have found that taking statins can lower CoQ10 levels by as much as 40%.

This is a potential concern because CoQ10 plays an important role in the production of energy in the body and is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect our cells.

Statins and Muscle Disease

Along with lowering CoQ10 levels, another side effect of statins is myopathy (muscle disease), which can cause muscle symptoms such as pain, cramps, and fatigue.

Sometimes, a more serious condition develops, called rhabdomyolysis, a breakdown of damaged skeletal tissue, which can lead to kidney damage.

Given the important role CoQ10 plays in the normal functioning of cells, including muscle cells, researchers wondered if taking CoQ10 supplements with statins could help prevent or improve muscle symptoms.

Over the years, CoQ10 has been studied as a potential solution to myopathy caused by statins. Some of the clinical trials have shown benefits, while others have not.

An article published on New York Times concluded that research does not support the use of CoQ10 as a prevention for statin-induced muscle problems.

The author of the New York Times article reverenced a 2015  meta analysis and a 2015 clinical trial, which concluded that CoQ10 wasn’t beneficial for statin-caused myopathy.

However, new research has called these findings into question.

A 2018 meta-analysis published in the Journal of the American Heart Association looked at 12 studies, and found that:

“CoQ10 supplementation [improved] statin‐associated muscle symptoms, implying that CoQ10 supplementation may be a complementary approach to manage statin‐induced myopathy.”

In the paper, the researchers explain that the 2015 meta-analysis only evaluated six studies, while the new meta-analysis looked at 12 studies and included six newly published studies, which explains why the findings from the new analysis were different from the conclusions reached in the 2015 analysis.

According to a study published in the American Journal of Cardiology, CoQ10 is a vital supplement that may help alleviate side effects of statin drugs, including muscle pain.  The study authors concluded:

“Results suggest that coenzyme Q10 supplementation may decrease muscle pain associated with statin treatment. Thus, coenzyme Q10 supplementation may offer an alternative to stopping treatment with [statins].”

While more research needs to be done, the evidence now suggests that CoQ10 supplements can help with muscle symptoms caused by statins.

CoQ10 and Heart Health

As a known essential nutrient in the health and maintenance of the cardiovascular system, CoQ10 provides many benefits in supporting heart health.

According to a summary of research studies from the Mayo Clinic Coenzyme Q10 Information web page, CoQ10 has been used for promoting:

  • Healthy cholesterol levels: 200 mg/day
  • Healthy blood pressure levels: 200‒300 mg/day
  • Healthy blood pressure levels* during pregnancy: 200 mg/day
  • Heart function: 300 mg/day
  • Arterial health: 100‒300 mg/day

As CoQ10 plays a key role in maintaining the healthy musculature of the heart, supplementation is the smart way to promote heart health and can help support any existing cardiovascular concerns.

CoQ10 and Aging

As the body ages, natural amounts of CoQ10 drop significantly, as does the body’s ability to absorb this vital nutrient-like coenzyme.

Low amounts of CoQ10 can lead to a loss of strength, vitality, and even pain, particularly in the muscles and vital organs like the heart.

Cardiovascular health, including heart function, healthy blood pressure levels, and healthy cholesterol levels can be affected by lowered CoQ10.

Additionally, CoQ10 is a highly active antioxidant that helps protect healthy cells from free radical damage.

CoQ10 Supplementation

CoQ10 plays many potential roles in promoting heart health and is particularly beneficial to statin drug users. It’s a vital nutrient which is difficult to obtain through a healthy diet alone, so supplementation is recommended.

In fact, In light of the latest research and many other studies, CoQ10 is now recommended by more cardiologists than any other supplement.

According to the Journal of The American College of Nutrition:

“Correction of deficiency requires supplementation with higher levels of CoQ10 that are available in the diet.”

Choosing a CoQ10 Supplement

Many of us are currently taking a CoQ10 supplement to boost our CoQ10 levels.

But if you’re not truly absorbing your CoQ10 supplement, you may not be able to experience its potential benefits.

Regular CoQ10, typically found in most powder-filled capsules and softgels, struggles with absorption because of its large molecule size and poor solubility in fat and water.

 This is why you should choose a CoQ10 supplement that is both water and fat-soluble.

CoQ10 Absorption

Before we get any benefits from them, our bodies must break down food and supplements, including CoQ10, into particles that are small enough for us to absorb.

The wall of our intestines, the site of absorption, is like a cheesecloth – small dissolved particles can pass through the wall easily, but most larger particles do not go through.

Since regular CoQ10 is a large molecule, it has trouble passing through our intestinal wall and very little will normally make it to the bloodstream.

Food intake also affects the absorption of CoQ10. It’s recommended that you take your CoQ10 with meals (preferable with some fat), because food will help slow down the time it takes CoQ10 to travel through your digestive system, therefore allowing more absorption time.

To facilitate absorption, most CoQ10 supplements are available in softgels suspended in oil (fat).

While oil suspension improves the absorption of CoQ10, there is an even better way to improve its absorption.

Water-Soluble CoQ10

Our intestines are a water-friendly environment, and we absorb water-soluble substances more efficiently than fat-soluble substances.

So, look for a CoQ10 supplement that is water-soluble (in addition to fat-soluble), to ensure that your body will absorb more of the CoQ10,  allowing you to experience its benefits.

In order for CoQ10 to be effective, your blood serum  CoQ10 levels must reach a certain level of concentration (the therapeutic level).

It’s become a common practice to take very large doses, in the hopes that more will be absorbed.

However, this brute force approach can get expensive in a hurry, and still only offers minimal incremental benefits.

The Best Option – Ubiquinol

For therapeutic absorption (and to avoid taking mega-doses, hoping you’ll get some benefit), get your CoQ10 in its concentrated form: ubiquinol.

Ubiquinol is the active form of CoQ10, produced by our cells.

The problem with conventional CoQ10 is that your body must convert it into Ubiquinol (the more advanced type of CoQ10) before it can help make the cellular energy your heart and other vital organs need to function at optimal levels.

CoQ10 (ubiquinone) must convert to ubiquinol for absorption.

Unlike conventional CoQ10, Ubiquinol is also a strong antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals that might otherwise damage healthy cells in the body.

Ubiquinol Absorbs Better Than C0Q10

CoQ10 Ubiquinol supplements are significantly better absorbed than regular C0Q10, and can produce higher concentrations of CoQ10 in the blood, than regular CoQ10.

In every published comparative study to date, Ubiquinol CoQ10 was better absorbed by the body than conventional CoQ10.

The amount your body absorbs will vary based on your age and overall health, but studies have consistently shown Ubiquinol to be the form of CoQ10 that’s easier for the body to use.

Ubiquinol CoQ10 is more readily absorbed in the intestinal tract and therefore considered more “bioavailable” than conventional CoQ10.

This difference makes Ubiquinol quite special. When conventional CoQ10 is ingested, the body must turn it into Ubiquinol CoQ10 so it can contribute to the production of cellular energy, which our hearts and other major organs need to function at optimal levels.

But the process of turning conventional CoQ10 into Ubiquinol becomes harder and less efficient as we get older and especially after age 45. That’s a big reason why many experts encourage “older” adults who take a CoQ10 supplement to consume it as Ubiquinol.

For many people and often to their surprise, conventional CoQ10 simply does not deliver the same benefits of Ubiquinol CoQ10.

Ubiquinol Dosage

Ubiquinol accounts for 90% of the CoQ10 in the blood and is the most absorbable form, and studies show this is the most efficient form for supplementation.

The standard dose of CoQ10 ranges from 90 mg to 200 mg per day. Doses up to 500 mg seem well tolerated, and several studies have used even higher doses without any serious side effects.

Your body does not store CoQ10, so its continued use is recommended to see its benefits.

Ubiquinol Side Effects

Supplementing with CoQ10 appears to be well tolerated by humans and have low toxicity.

In fact, participants in some studies showed no major side effects taking daily doses of 1,200 mg for 16 months.

However, if side effects appear, it is recommended to divide the daily dose into two to three smaller doses.

Informative Video

If you or someone you care about is on statins, I highly recommend watching the video “Statins Cause Major Deficiency to Most Important Vitamin in the Body”  by Dr. Alan Mandell, D.C.

It’s a detailed and easy-to-understand explanation of the importance of C0Q10, and the effect of statins on the body’s C0Q10 levels.

Recommended Ubiquinol

If you’re not sure where to start with ubiquinol supplements, I can recommend a couple of excellent brands.

These choices are based on company integrity, customer reviews and value.

Jarrow Formulas Ubiquinol QH-Absorb

QH-Absorb Ubiquinol

Jarrow Formulas QH-Absorb is a bestseller among ubiquinol supplements, and utilizes the Q-absorb natural, proliposomal delivery system for enhanced absorption.

These 100 mg softgels are available in bottles of 30, 60 and 120.

Jarrow Formulas have been manufacturing health supplements since 1977, and are actively involved in clinical studies and continually work with researchers from universities and institutes around the world.

They also stand by their “Total Quality Pledge” and GMP compliant supplements.

Qunol Mega Ubiquinol

Qunol Mega C0Q10 Ubiquinol

Another excellent choice is Mega Ubiquinol from Qunol.  These have a patented water and fat soluble formula for superior absorption.

The reviews for Mega CoQ10 Ubiquinol are outstanding, with several purchasers reporting a noticeable improvement in energy, circulation, joint pain and mobility.  Some also mentioned that their cardiologist recommended this particular brand.

Qunol’s specialty is CoQ10 and turmeric curcumin supplements, and the company has an excellent reputation for quality.

These 100 mg softgels are available in bottles of 60 or 100.

They have approximately 1,000,000,000,000 things competing for their attention and OMG the cat is scratching at the couch and you forgot to turn off the tea kettle and look at all of those email notifications! 🤯

We get it and sympathize. Life can be overwhelming.

The bottom line is this: Lights Film School has been purpose-built from the ground up to adapt to you, not the other way around.

£25K Grant to Tackle Child Hunger in North Bristol

The National Benevolent Charity has granted our charity £25,000 to tackle child hunger in the North Bristol area.

Ali Russell, CEO of The National Benevolent Charity and Phoebe Ruxton, Communications Manager at FareShare South West holding boxes of surplus food.

FareShare South West’s Fundraising Manager Phoebe Ruxton says: “The funding from The National Benevolent Charity will enable us to provide enough food for thousands of meals to projects working with children across Avonmouth, Lawrence Weston, Southmead, Henbury and Lockleaze. The initiative will place the child at the centre in the hope that no child in that area will ‘fall through the cracks’ and be subject to needless hunger. Its success will be as a result of the holistic and joined up approach that this funding will allow us to take. A coalition of settings will receive food – targeting places where children may go or directly benefit from – such as primary schools, holiday projects and youth clubs. We also aim to launch several new ‘Community Pantries’ in the area, which will be a shop-like set up where families in need can get low cost groceries – including fresh food items – at the same time as accessing long term support services.”

The National Benevolent Charity CEO Ali Russell says: “Ensuring individuals can meet their basic needs is a driver for our charity. We know that 1 in 5 children in Bristol are at risk of hunger due to poverty. The reality is that many children in our city are forced to miss meals, go to bed hungry or turn up at school without the fuel needed for their days. This markedly impacts a child’s success and future opportunities. We know FareShare South West already do remarkable work in getting surplus food out to a multitude of organisations who in turn provide meals for the most vulnerable in our region, but we wanted to ensure they could really tackle the issue of child hunger in the North Bristol area. With their strategic approach to getting the right beneficiaries on board so that all opportunities to get food to children are given – whether that’s in the morning, after school, during the holidays or at home – we feel confident that the children of North Bristol will fare better as a result of this work.”

The first surplus food deliveries supported by the extra funding began in early February, with an uplift of food to holiday projects over the school half term.

Paris Fashion Week Runway Review: Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2014 RTW

October 5, 2013

Louis Vuitton has been probably the most buzzed about runway show at Paris Fashion Week for an array of reasons: the collection was stunning, the atmosphere of the show was majestic and the question on everyone’s lips regarding the status of Marc Jacobs’ design contract with the fashion powerhouse was answered. After 16 iconic years of designing for LVMH and working closely alongside business partner Robert Duffy the fashion super duo announced contracts were not to be renewed for Louis Vuitton. Marc Jacobs, Robert Duff and LVMH head, Bernard Arnault, sat down for an interview with WWD to discuss the transition which was ultimately born out of an effort to expand the Marc Jacobs brand “This [Marc Jacobs] brand has an enormous potential all over the world,” Arnault told WWD. “To materialize this potential, we decided together within the next two or three years, to do an IPO.”

Marc Jacobs final collection for Louis Vuitton was definitely superb, powerful and a celebratory way to end his work with the French fashion house. The dramatic all-black runway show featured retrospective aspects from Jacobs’ previous Louis Vuitton runway shows including carousels, elevators, escalators, mirrors all covered black paint. The looks in the runway show were fierce, sophisticated and powerful. Models on the runway donned massive black feathered head-dresses and all the garments in the runway show had a distinct Victorian-era vibe with a contemporary twist. Overall the show was amazing and Marc Jacobs’ amazing legacy at Louis Vuitton will never be forgotten. Who will succeed MJ at LV? Rumors are already swirling that Nicolas Ghesquiere may be Louis Vuitton’s next Artistic Director!

Check out all the best looks from Marc Jacobs’ incroyable Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2014 RTW collection bellow as well as runway clips from the show and an interview with Jacobs…

Oppose development on old NuFarm dioxin manufacturing site in Fawkner

There are plans to build warehouses on the old Nufarm Chemicals site in McBryde St Fawkner. This site was highly contaminated with dioxins when it was operational.

A campaign by local residents who were effected by the toxic fumes, particularly Elsie Snowden from the Fawkner Progress Association succeeded in closing the plant down.

Local residents are opposed to any development occurring on the site because even cement footings for warehouses will pierce the clay cap and could cause the toxic fumes to be released again. Local residents are forming an action group to oppose the proposal and to make sure that the current generation knows how toxic this site is.

The original #EPA audit of the site only audited the two central sites of the old factory and not the surrounding sites which are likely to also be contaminated.

Residents meetings:
When: at 2 PM – 4 PM on Saturday 22 April
Where: Fawkner Community House, 95 Major Rd

The next meeting of the action group to stop development on the toxic site at 102 McBryde st will be on:
Wednesday 3 May, 7pm @ the 95 Major Road site of Fawkner Community House.

Community meeting – Thursday 11 May, 7pm – 10pm @ Fawkner Senior Citizens Centre
Sue Bolton has initiated a public meeting in her role as a councillor. The meeting is on Thursday 11 May, 7pm at the Fawkner Senior Citizens Centre.
Register at Facebook event

Speakers at the public meeting are: Harry van Moorst (Western Region Environment Centre & long-term campaigner on toxic chemical issues); Percy Pillai (Health & Safety officer for Australian Workers Union & rep for retired workers with serious health effects from spraying the chemicals produced on the Nufarm site in Fawkner); Brian Snowden, local resident; Sue Bolton, plus others (seeking an environmental scientist)

There are more background details both from Cr Bolton and Council officers in the report and motion that was put forward by Cr Sue Bolton at Moreland Council meeting 12 April 2017.

A look at the mental development of personality

For a long time, at the end of the 19th and 20th centuries, inpsychology there was a methodological crisis associated with the fuzziness and uncertainty of the ultimate goals of psychological research. The discrepancy in understanding what mental development is, in determining the patterns and conditions of its course, has led to the emergence of many different concepts, based on social and biological factors, on the leading role of heredity or the environment in the development of the psyche. However, the existence of various scientific schools contributed to the accumulation of a lot of empirical data on the development of the personality in different periods of life, which formed in certain theories explaining the features of behavior, revealing the mechanisms that form certain psychic properties of man.

In modern science, the development of the psyche is traditionally considered within the most well-known areas: psychoanalysis, behaviorism, gestalt psychology, humanistic and genetic theories.

Psychological development in terms of psychoanalysis

Sigmund Freud, having created the theory of the unconscious,argued that mental processes are mostly unconscious, and only individual emotional experiences are realized by man. The processes of creating and developing human cultural values Freud attributed exclusively to sexuality, and the productive interaction of the biological and social aspects in the development of the psyche - protective mechanisms. Within the framework of psychosexuality, the great analyst also considered the mental development of the personality in children's periods. Everyone knows the stages of sexual instinct that he has identified, which are reflected in the psyche of the child, and then of the adult.

Mental development in terms of genetic psychology

The theory of development J.Piaget - the brightest and most famous, connects the development of the child's psyche with the intellect. Cognitive maturation scientist defined the processes of adaptation, assimilation, accommodation and balancing. The knowledge of the world around us is caused by the desire for adaptation or adaptation. Adaptation, in turn, consists of the process of assimilation - changes in existing representations under the influence of new information, and accommodation, which allows to process the information received and develop new ways of behavior as a reaction to it. The psychic develops with a balanced alternation of these processes.

Humanistic theory and development of the psyche

A completely new view of mental developmenta person from existential psychologists. They recognize the uniqueness and uniqueness of a person who is an open and self-developing system. The inner world of each personality, its self is a complex interlacing of individual psychological qualities and needs. How true is real experience helps to realize one's inner self, and consequently, the level of needs and claims, the degree of congruity of personality will be so high. The desire for greater congruence is, in the opinion of humanistic psychologists, the fundamental sign of human nature, and the goal of its development is the maximum manifestation of the self in the process of self-actualization. The well-known psychologist A. Maslou believed that a person in life needs to determine as accurately as possible and show the personal qualities that create his "I". It is conscious aspirations, and not unconscious drives, that control his actions and actions. On the path of self-actualization and self-improvement, there are various obstacles that each individual must overcome, pasuya before the difficulties, it stops its development, which can lead to neurotic disorders.

Humanistic psychology also definedan important role of the social environment for the mental development of man. This role is twofold, because, on the one hand, society promotes development and self-actualization, and on the other hand, tries to erase individuality, make a person look like everyone else. Optimal in relation to the individual and society, from the point of view of humanistic psychologists, is an interaction in which the personality identifies with the society in outward manifestations, but at the same time retains its individuality and self in the process of personal development.

Rifle "Exhaust" - an excellent Russian weapon of our time

Sport and fitness

Large-caliber sniper rifle "Exhaust" was established in 2002. The development was carried out under the state order of the security service of the Russian Federation.

Three years later the sniper rifle "Exhaust"The first time was demonstrated to all arms lovers at one of the Moscow exhibitions. It is known that a complex of this type of combat ammunition was created only for the arming of special troops of the Russian FSB. The number of copies of the rifle is quite small. All the performance characteristics were provided by the manufacturer and were detailed at the Interpolitex exhibition.

Rifle "Exhaust" is capable of hitting the enemy inradius of 600 meters. Silent and flameless fire management allows you to fight in any conditions. The deadly power of the bullet is capable of destroying protected targets and penetrating non-armored vehicles. The use of cartridges with a high initial speed in combination with a specially designed muffler well "extinguishes" the sound of the shot produced. The shooting from the weapon is made by bullets of the twelfth caliber. Weighted weight cartridges weighing up to 76 g significantly increases the lethal force of the rifle.

For the use of weapons, cartridges of threespecies: two of them give the bullet increased accuracy and one increases the punching ability. The variety and quality of ammunition characterizes it as a model capable of standing at the same level as Western counterparts.

The rifle "Exhaust" is equipped with a recharge mechanismmanual action. The shutter easily charges weapons and locks up from the turn of the larva. A single-row box-shaped shop is capable of holding five cartridges. Sights are attached to the top of the receiver, the optical sight allows you to fire with great precision at a great distance. In addition, the weapon is equipped with a front sight and the whole.

Integral muffler, perhaps, is oneof the main advantages of the developers of weapons. The part can be removed easily, this makes it possible to disassemble and clean the rifle in a short time. Transportation is only disassembled.

The shooting in the supine position is carried out with the help ofbiped bipod. The rifle "Exhaust" though refers to large-caliber weapons, but the return in the process of the shot is not noticeable. A convenient recharge lever minimizes the time spent preparing the next shot.

Designers developed weapons capable ofCartridges of large calibers were used as ammunition, but the main goal was different: to significantly reduce the weight of the rifle in comparison with the already existing analogs. The total mass of weapons was only 7 kg, taking into account the fact that the muffler itself weighs about two. With this weight, the Rifle "Exhaust" has a length of 795 millimeters.

The question of mass production of weapons andremained open. The sniper rifle, created on the special order of the security service of Russia, fully met the expected expectations, proving its effectiveness in combat use.

Home Pets 4 Common Signs that Your Dog Needs Retraining

4 Common Signs that Your Dog Needs Retraining

6 min read
Comments Off on 4 Common Signs that Your Dog Needs Retraining

If you’ve had your dog since they were a puppy and have sent them to puppy training at the right time, they will likely remember their training as long as there are no significant changes around them (e.g., relocation or another dog joining the family). However, if you’ve adopted an older dog or rescued them from the streets, they will likely need retraining (if they were even trained in the first place).

All dogs are different when it comes to behavior and temperament. Whether you’ve had your four-legged pal since they were a puppy or had them later in life,

here are the signs that might mean they need retraining:

  1. Aggression

If your dog has not shown signs of aggression until now, it’s best to take them to a vet to see if there’s anything wrong. Most of the time, when dogs show unusual bouts of aggression, they are dealing with pain or an illness that does not physically manifest in other ways.

However, if the vet says there’s nothing wrong with your dog, the next best step is to enroll them in an obedience school. Aggressive dogs, especially those who have come from abusive owners, are likely to harm other dogs or people.

  1. Disobeying your ‘no’ command

Some dogs learn that a ‘no’ from their owner is not necessarily a command to stop because of the lack of consequence afterward. And so, if your dog has adopted this behavior, they will likely do what they initially wanted to do once you are distracted. Of course, this can lead to unwanted consequences for you, as the owner, especially when your dog has stopped listening to your ‘no’ commands entirely.

  1. Destructive behavior

No dog owner wants to come home and find their favorite pair of shoes ruined by their beloved pup. So if your dog starts up his or her destructive behavior again (which you probably thought they got over when they were younger), it’s time for an obedience refresher course. However, remember that unusual destructive behavior is typically a sign of a deeper problem, such as separation anxiety or lack of exercise, so you might want to have them checked out by a vet first.

  1. Forgetting old commands

Commands to dogs are like language to humans–when you don’t use it, you lose it. So if your dog has forgotten some of the commands they’ve been trained before, it’s a clear sign that they need retraining.

On the other hand, forgetting commands is not only caused by poor practice. It can also be due to a significant change in their environment. If you have moved to another house, for example, your dog might forget the commands that they’ve associated with the things at your old place. In this case, retraining is necessary.

Every dog owner wants their pup to behave well, but you can only expect good behavior if you train your dog well enough. So if your dog starts exhibiting one or more of the qualities listed above, it is high time for retraining. If the problem is simple, such as whining and jumping on counters, you can easily tackle retraining yourself. However, if your dog starts exhibiting destructive or dangerous behavior, it’s best to enroll them in a professional retraining course.

Motivational Monday!

make monday sparkleHappy Monday y’all! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and your week will start off excellent. I can’t believe next week is Christmas already and then we will reach 2020! I would say it seems like 2019 went by in a blink of an eye, but really 2017 through 2019 flew by incredibly fast! I still feel like life has been on overdrive and I kind of wish it would slow down, just a little at least! I just hope if life is in such a rush, there is better times in nearby because I am pretty sick of all the horrible things that have gone on worldwide!

On a more positive note I have a great quote to share with y’all today. Honestly, I have had this saved for a few weeks now and was just waiting for the right time. I do hope you will get as much from this quote as I have!grow.jpg

I will explain why this quote means so much to me, but I also want to read what you think as well. I feel that we should all be evolving with the times, instead of devolving. Sadly, I do still think too many are continuously devolving and finding more reasons forsmile hatred because of the color of someone’s skin, who another person loves, the religion another follows and so on. I will never understand this way of thinking because it does in fact cause harm to others, whereas who someone loves causes no pain!

Thank you for stopping by my site today, if I haven’t said it enough I really do appreciate you! I do hope you have a wonderful day and your week will only get better as the days go on. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love ❤, comfort, and many positive vibes!

❤Always, Alyssa❤

  2. I like that quote and do agree with it. If we don’t take a risk and change what isn’t working in our life then we are just existing. How exciting is that? It’s like we’re going no where and life seems boring. Putting ourself out there is scary but so needed. That is how we grow and live a happier life and actually make a difference. That I believe is what matters. Making a difference and making someone smile is so important. You’ll feel better along with the ones you’re kind to. Isn’t a smile better than a frown? Isn’t it better that you made someone smile instead of cry? This world would be such a better place if we could all do this every day. All my Love & Support, Mom

Protect Pets From Super Bowl Syndrome | Figo Pet Insurance

Protect pets from Super Bowl Syndrome

Q: My boyfriend’s buddies are coming over to watch the Super Bowl. I’m afraid they’ll give Brady, our miniature Schnauzer, snack food and beer, and Brady will get sick. Am I worried for nothing?

A: You are right to be concerned. The problem you’re asking about has actually earned a name: Super Bowl Syndrome.

People food is fine for humans, but dogs can get mighty sick from eating too much of it. Dogs with certain diseases—and even particular breeds of dogs—are at increased risk.

For example, miniature Schnauzers like Brady are susceptible to pancreatitis, a painful inflammation of the pancreas. Even small amounts of fatty foods like buttered popcorn, nuts, ribs and cheese can trigger vomiting and abdominal pain.

If Brady has heart disease, he should stay away from salt. That means no potato chips, pretzels or lunch meat that might cause fluid buildup and breathing problems.

Your boyfriend and his friends may not realize that some foods they enjoy are toxic to dogs. For instance, onions and garlic damage red blood cells, grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure, and macadamia nuts produce tremors and loss of coordination. The artificial sweetener xylitol induces liver damage, hypoglycemia and seizures in dogs.

Don’t let anyone give Brady beer, not just because he’s underage, but because alcoholic beverages are toxic to dogs.

Forbid your boyfriend and his buddies from giving Brady any people food or drink. Instead, offer your pooch a new toy to keep him occupied so he doesn’t beg. Or settle down with him elsewhere to watch one of these pet-themed movies.

9 Kickass Women in Philippine History You’ve Never Heard Of

Last Updated on

Some Filipinas in history went beyond their motherly roles just to prove their bad-assness. Most of their names have been forgotten, but their achievements will definitely blow your minds.

Related Article: 14 Amazing Filipina Heroines You Don’t Know But Should

Here are 9 of the most amazing lesser-known Filipinas who blazed a trail and made their own mark in Philippine history:

1. Leona Florentino.

Leona Florentino

Also known as Mother of Philippine Women’s Literature.

Extraordinary moments: Leona Florentino (1849-1884) became the first internationally recognized Filipina poet at a time when Philippine society was largely patriarchal. Born in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, Florentino started to write poems at the age of ten. Her works–written in Ilocano and some in Spanish–include Naangawan A Kablaaw (“A Jolly Birthday Greeting”) and Nalpay A Namnama (“Blasted Hope”).

A prolific poetess, satirist, and playwright, Florentino braved all adversities to express her creativity–sometimes even at the expense of her family. It is said that due to her feminist views, her husband and son opposed her writing. For this reason, Florentino was forced to leave her family and had since led a life of solitude until her untimely death in 1884 at the age of 35.

Florentino’s 22 poems were later exhibited posthumously in the Exposicion General de Filipinas (Madrid, 1887), Exposition Internationale (Paris, 1889), and St. Louis International Exposition (Missouri, 1904). Her name, as well as her works, were also represented in Madame Andzia Wolska’s anthology, Bibliotheque Internationale des Oeuvres de Femmes, edited in 1889.

Interesting facts:

  • Leona Florentino’s ancestral home in Vigan City, Ilocos Sur now houses the Provincial Tourism Center, the Vigan Heritage Commission, and the famous Café Leona.
  • She was a distant cousin of Jose Rizal, Philippines’ national hero.
  • She was the mother of Isabelo de los Reyes, a labor activist and founder of the Aglipayan or Philippine Independent Church. Like his mother, De los Reyes was also a talented writer. In fact, he is considered as the Father of Philippine Folklore. Among his works include Ti Langit Ti Inanamatayo (“The Glory of our Hopes”), the first short story in Iluko.

Did you know? President Ferdinand Marcos was baptized into the Aglipayan Church.

2. Encarnacion Alzona.

Also known as The first Filipina historian and also the first Filipina to obtain a doctoral degree.

Extraordinary moments: In an era when Filipinas were somehow considered intellectually inferior to Filipino men, a woman named Encarnacion Alzona (1895-2001) refused to be defeated. Her fight for gender equality opened a lot of opportunities for women that would not have been possible if she had refused to take a leap of faith.

In 1919, Alzona participated in the pensionado program of the American government which, for the first time in many years, provided equal opportunities for middle- and upper-class Filipinas to study in the US. She eventually earned a master’s degree from Radcliffe College as well as a Ph.D. degree from Columbia University in 1923, the first Filipina to do so. Her achievements gave her the necessary credentials to serve as the chairperson of the Department of History in U.P.

Even while pursuing her career, Alzona never stopped fighting for women’s rights. Believing that education is the key to gender equality, Alzona helped other Filipinas–including Fe del Mundo, then a medical student–to pursue studies in the US. She also fought for Filipinas’ right of suffrage, going as far as hosting tea parties for members of the Legislature just to convince them to grant such right.

Fortunately, her efforts soon paid off. In September of 1937, the election bill that grants the right to vote to all citizens (male and female, 21 years of age and who can read and write) finally became a law.

Interesting facts:

  • As a historian, Alzona’s most prominent works include “The Filipino Woman: Her Social and Political Status 1565-1933,” published in 1934 as part of the campaign for woman suffrage in the country, and “A History of Education in the Philippines: 1565-1930,” her first book that was released in 1932.
  • Alzona was elected Chairperson of the Sub-Committee on Social Science, Philosophy, and Humanities during the 1946 meeting of the UNESCO in Paris.
  • In 1985, she received her highest award when she was given the distinction of National Scientist by the National Academy of Science and Technology.

3. Pelagia Mendoza.

Also known as The first known Filipina sculptor in history.

Extraordinary moments: Pelagia Mendoza y Gotianquin (1867-1939) stood out for excelling in the male-dominated field of sculpture. She was the first female student ever accepted at the Academia de Dibujo y Pintura, known as the first and only coeducational institution during the Spanish regime.

With an exceptional flair for painting, embroidery, and sculpture, Mendoza entered the prestigious school at the age of 22. With the help of her mentors Agustin Saez and Lorenzo Rocha, Mendoza’s artistic mastery grew by leaps and bounds, culminating to her award-winning entry to the Columbus Quadricentennial Art Contest, a competition organized by the Spanish Government in 1892.

Mendoza’s winning artwork–a wax bust of Christopher Columbus–also reaped other international awards such as the second prize at the 1892 Chicago Universal Exposition, making her the first Filipina artist to gain international recognition.

Interesting facts:

  • Pelagia Mendoza married Crispulo Zamora, a silversmith and her former classmate at the  Academia de Dibujo y Pintura. To support their seven children, the couple established an engraving business, Crispulo Zamora and Sons, Inc., which became known for religious jewelry and ornaments.
  • After her husband’s death in 1922, Mendoza took over the business. By traveling to different countries and studying the different carving techniques used in those places, Mendoza was able to help modernize the metal-working and engraving industry in the Philippines.
  • All of Mendoza’s works–including the award-winning bust–were destroyed when her family home at Sta. Cruz was bombed during WWII.

4. Olivia Salamanca.

Olivia Salamanca, M.D.,
1889-1913 by Encarnacion Alzona, Ph.D.

Also known as Pioneer Woman Physician of the Philippines.

Extraordinary moments: In 1910, Salamanca obtained the degree of doctor of medicine from the Women’s Medical College in Philadelphia. Therefore, she was the second Filipina to become a physician after Dr. Honoria Acosta-Sison who graduated from the same school in 1909.

Salamanca was among the pensionados who qualified and were chosen by the government to study in the US in 1905. She was sent to St. Paul, Minn. to finish the secondary course and later to Women’s Medical College where she fulfilled her dreams of becoming a physician. Salamanca graduated on June 1, 1910, at the age of 20 and also passed the civil service examination in the same year.

To give back to her countrymen, Salamanca returned to the Philippines and served as the first secretary of the Philippine Antituberculosis Society. At the time, potent anti-TB drugs were not available yet, so Salamanca and other medical professionals had to care for their patients at the expense of their own health.

Eventually, Salamanca was also diagnosed with tuberculosis. Despite her deteriorating health, she still led an active life, travelling back and forth between Philippines and Hongkong until her untimely death in 1913 at the age of 24.

Interesting facts:

  • Salamanca was one of the first Filipinos to be subjected to the use of tuberculin in the treatment of tuberculosis. However, her health had not improved.
  • She was a child prodigy. In fact, she was able to play the piano without the guidance of a teacher. Maestro Manuel Ruiz y Javier, her elder sister’s teacher, was so impressed by her that he composed a mazurka entitled “Olivia.”
  • To honor her contributions as a pioneer Filipino physician, the Philippine Medical Women’s Association named the place at the corner of General Luna and T. Kalaw as “Plaza Olivia Salamanca.”

5. Magdalena Leones.

Also known as Lioness of Filipina Agents.

Extraordinary moments: Born and raised in Kalinga, Magdalena Estoista Leones didn’t let her lack of military experience stop her from assuming various roles during WWII. She spent most of her early twenties nursing the wounded and providing vital intelligence information to the Allied forces. Indeed, she was the ultimate Filipina spy.

Once a deaconess to evangelical churches, Magdalena was forced to take over a new role when the American soldiers from the Japanese-occupied Baguio City chose to retreat to her hometown. She assisted Reverend Nagel of the United Evangelical Church who became the chaplain to the American soldiers led by Colonel John Horan. She also served as an interpreter between English and Ilokano/Kalinga speakers.

After the Fall of Corregidor in 1942, Magdalena was imprisoned together with Horan’s troops. She was later freed and subsequently joined the guerrilla Fil-American Irregular Troops (FAIT) in Manila. In January of 1944, Magdalena was ordered by an agent “AZ-48” to “collect rosters of guerrilla forces in Northern Luzon.” Although she did as she was told, an American-sponsored investigation revealed that agent “AZ-48” was actually a double agent of the Japanese.

In the end, Magdalena left FAIT and joined USAFIP, NL (the United States Armed Forces in the Philippines, Northern Luzon) as its special agent. From 1944 to 1945, Magdalena escaped death thrice and traveled back and forth between Manila and provinces such as Pampanga, La Union and as far as Bicol to secure intelligence information, medical supplies, and other important provisions.

Interesting facts:

  • In 1945, the United States Army awarded Magdalena “Maggie” Leones the Silver Star, the third highest military decoration that can be given to a member of any branch of the United States armed forces.
  • She was the only Filipina WWII veteran who was awarded the Silver Star medal.
  • Later, she also received four more awards–the Philippine Liberation Medal, the Resistance Movement Medal, the World War II Medal, and the Philippine Independence Ribbon.
  • In an interview for the 2007 documentary “A Moral Debt: The Post-War Battle of The Veteranos,” Magdalena Leones shared her painful experience of witnessing at least 20 young people being executed during WWII, and how that incident became “some kind of a motive in which I go against the Japanese.”

6. Maria Ylagan Orosa.

Maria Ylagan Orosa

Also known as A war heroine, banana ketchup inventor, and the first Filipino nutritionist.

Extraordinary moments: A native of Taal in Batangas, Maria Ylagan Orosa (1893-1945) was a pioneer in food technology, nutrition, and preservation. In fact, she was credited for inventing some of the most amazing foods we know today–banana ketchup, Calamansi Nip (a powdered form of calamansi), Soyalac (powdered soya beans), just to name a few.

Orosa’s mission in life was plain and simple: to make every Filipino family self-sufficient in terms of food, health, and nutritional needs. However, the journey she took to achieve her life goals was not easy by any means. At the age of 23, she went to the US as a stowaway armed with a dream of getting a college degree. After doing odd jobs to support her education, Orosa finally earned degrees in Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Food Chemistry, and Pharmacy.

Hard work soon paid off for Orosa when she became the first Filipino to be appointed assistant state chemist of Washington in 1920. However, she left the position in 1922 and went back to her country instead. As the chief of Plant Utilization Division of the Bureau of Plant Industry, Orosa started to bring local food technology into a whole new level.

Among Orosa’s countless innovations include the use of Philippine fruits in wine-making; coconut in preparing honey, flour, cassava, cooking oil, and candy; and pineapple in making vinegar. She also pioneered the making of catsup from banana, extracting insecticide from tobacco dust, and making toyo from soy.

Did you know? Contrary to popular belief, Datu Puti vinegar was not based on a legendary chieftain.

As a war heroine and humanitarian, Orosa devised a process of canning food for the guerrillas. She was a captain in Marking’s Guerillas during WWII and supplied food to soldiers, prisoners of war, internees, and religious communities in UST and concentration camps. When her family decided to leave Manila for Batangas, Orosa refused to join them, saying “I am soldier and soldiers do not leave their post, I cannot in conscience abandon my work and my girls.”

Orosa died when she was hit twice by shrapnel during a bombing raid in Manila on February 13, 1945.

Interesting facts:

  • Orosa founded the Home Extension Service which taught barrio housewives different ways to earn extra income and improve their homemaking skills. To honor this contribution, former President Carlos P. Garcia declared November 29–Orosa’s birthday–as Home Extension Day.
  • Florida Street in Ermita was renamed after her.
  • Orosa was the first to produce and export frozen mangoes in the US during an era when freezing was still relatively unknown. Dr. Kruze, a food technologist in Berkeley, California, describes Orosa as “a Filipina who came to the laboratory to do experiments who surprised everyone with the first frozen mangoes from the Philippines”.
  • Orosa also invented the famous “Palayok-Oven,” a device specially made for housewives who had no electricity.
  • She left behind more than 700 recipes which were results of her experiments.
  • Before she died, Orosa had planned nationwide rehabilitation projects which were supposed to start as soon as peace was restored. She also planned to produce and export chocolate candy, a project which Samuel Gaches, the famous owner of Heacock’s, had promised to finance.

7. Clemencia Lopez y Castelo.

Also known as The first Filipina to visit the White House.

Extraordinary moments: At the age of 26 and with no relatives to guide her, Clemencia Lopez y Castelo went to the White House in the U.S. with one goal in mind: to appeal the case of her brothers who were imprisoned in the Philippines for supporting the revolution and refusing to pledge allegiance to the U.S.

Born in Balayan, Batangas to a prominent Lopez family, Clemencia knew from the start that nationalism runs in their blood. Her father, the gobernadorcillo of their town, was a pro-Filipino during the Spanish regime. Her brothers followed their father’s footsteps and supported the Philippine revolution all the way to the Philippine-American War, leading to their arrest in 1901.

A year later, Clemencia traveled to the U.S. to meet with then-President Theodore Roosevelt on behalf of her brothers. She made a speech before the Massachusetts Association for Women’s Suffrage to uphold the woman’s right to vote as well as the desire of the Philippine women to free their country from American colonization.

Interesting facts:

  • On her return to the Philippines in 1905, Clemencia became a founding member of the Philippine Feminist Association, an organization dedicated to the “promotion of social welfare and the encouragement of the participation of women in public affairs.”
  • To pay tribute to her courage and accomplishments, the National Historical Commission of the Philippines installed in February 2013 a historical marker in the Lopez home in Batangas.

8. Nicolasa Dayrit Panlilio.

Nicolasa Dayrit-Panlilio

Also known as The Peacemaker of Pampanga.

Extraordinary moments: Born to a wealthy family in San Fernando, Pampanga, Nicolasa Dayrit (1874-1945) was more than a local beauty. Along with Pampanga’s Red Cross president Praxedes Fajardo, Nicolasa wholeheartedly volunteered to care for the sick and wounded during the Philippine-American War. However, most historians best remember her for helping end the rift between two famous Filipino generals.

All the drama started when Gen. Antonio Luna (famous for his fiery temper) ordered Gen. Tomas Mascardo to reinforce the former’s troops during a battle with the Americans. However, Mascardo, then commander of Philippine troops in Guagua, refused to follow Luna’s orders, putting the latter in a very bad mood. The altercation was so serious that it almost ended in a duel.

Thankfully, with Pampanga governor Tiburcio Hilario’s request, Nicolasa Dayrit and other Kapampangan women offered flowers, knelt before Gen. Luna, and asked him to stop the said conflict with Mascardo. It all ended well, but things would have been different had Nicolasa refused to be a peacemaker.

Interesting facts:

  • Nicolasa Dayrit Panlilio was fluent in Spanish and was one of Pampanga’s best pianists during her time.
  • Some historical accounts suggest that Nicolasa was among the women who sewed the flag of the Pampanga Batallion during the Philippine Revolution of 1898.
  • Nicolasa married a Spanish-educated doctor named Vicente Panlilio and had five children with him. They later moved to Malate, Manila when their home in Pampanga was destroyed during WWII. She died on April 12, 1945, at the age of 71 due to heart failure.
  • In 2003, Mayor Rey Aquino of San Fernando, Pampanga declared September 10 of every year as “San Fernando Women’s Day” in honor of Nicolasa Dayrit who was born on the same day.

9. Maria Carpena.

Maria Carpena

Also known as: “Nightingale of Zarzuela” and the first Filipino recording artist in history.

Extraordinary moments: After overcoming all adversities, Maria Evangelista Carpena (1886-1915) finally blazed the trail for other Filipino singers when she became the first Filipino recording artist in 1908.

A native of Santa Rosa in Laguna, Maria was born with a superb talent in singing. However, her father was no fan of music. He prevented Maria from performing onstage and even threatened to disown her if she would pursue a music career. Unfazed, Maria went to Manila and stayed at a convent at Colegio de Sta. Rosa in Intramuros where she would help in doing household chores and embroidery work.

Maria married a sales agent named Jose “Pepe” Alcantara. Sadly, in 1904, she became a widow at only eighteen years old. She was left to take care of their two kids, Florita and Jaime Alcantara.

As a singer, Maria’s debut performance came when she was only 15 years old. It was for a benefit concert at the Zorila Theater in 1901, an event where she earned the applause and admiration of the audience. However, her biggest break happened in 1902 when she was chosen by Severino Reyes, director of the Gran Comania de Zarzuela Tagala, for the lead role in Minda Mora. She went on to star in numerous plays including Walang Sugat, Lukso ng Dugo, and La Confianza Mata al Hombre.

After receiving an invitation from Governor General Howard Taft to go to the US in 1908, Maria Carpena embarked on a journey that would soon place her name in Philippine history. Accompanied by the Molina Orchestra, she recorded “Ang Maya” and other songs for Victor Recording Company, making her the first Filipino recording artist in history.

Unfortunately, Maria’s life was cut short when she died of health complications after undergoing appendectomy on March 8, 1915.

Interesting facts:

  • Maria Carpena did not receive any formal voice training. In fact, she never learned to read music sheets and only learned songs through the use of her ears.
  • Professor H. Otley Beyer, a renowned anthropologist, described Maria as a “real nightingale” who would “sing at the Luneta to 20,000 people and her voice would be heard clear through Manila Hotel.”
  • After the death of her first husband, Maria fell in love with a married man from Manila. The affair produced a love child named Mauro Carpena who was born on March 12, 1908.
  • A copy of the original recording of “Ang Maya” was obtained by Antonia Tiongco from the Filipinas Heritage Library of the Ayala Foundation in Makati.
  • Her remains were buried and can be found at the La Loma Cemetery.
  • A street in Quiapo was named in her honor.

Patrick Stewart, Ben Kingsley join Paramount 100th anniversary

Patrick Stewart and Sir Ben Kingsley are among the 116 actors who were photographed together for the 100th anniversary of Paramount Studios.

Over the course of the past few decades, Paramount has produced some of the most iconic and successful films to date, from epics to controversial comedies. Most recently Sacha Baron Cohen starred in 'The Dictator' which showed the lighter side of oppression at the hands of a British comedian and proved to be a big success at the global box office. When Paramount Studios was founded in 1912, one of the world's most talked about ships 'The Titanic' struck an iceberg and sunk killing all but a few passengers. in 1997, Paramount decided to produce the epic that would become the world's most successful film. The romanticism and fascination of those events that started in 1912, the year of the studios founding, have never died, and thanks to great acting and direction from James Cameron, 'Titanic' is one of the many films that have captivated audiences.

Patrick Stewart had been a big onscreen presence for the last 20 years as the bold Star Trek captain of the Star Trek : The Next generation series and also starred in subsequent movies that were produced for cinema release by the studio including 'First Contact'.

Kazemi published a thorough guide for both the technical tools and community building practices that go into creating your own small social media community. It can still interact with other communities across the web, but the advantages of this approach are fascinating and I hope to see more of it:

A small social network site doesn’t need a huge complex network of computers. One computer can be enough. Often it’s the kind of thing you can rent for $10 a month, or even run at home on an old computer you have lying around if you want.

For example, Friend Camp costs about $30 a month to run, it experiences about 10 minutes of down time each week, and it takes about 2 hours a week of my own time to maintain. I maintain the computer that Friend Camp’s software runs on. I’m training another camper to be an administrator as well, so if something happens to me there is still someone who can make sure the site keeps going. The site is funded by campers who can afford to throw a few bucks a month at a Patreon that I run just for us. It’s a small price to pay for a nice place to talk to friends on the internet.

As a result of these economic realities, Friend Camp does not have the annoyances of big social network sites. We sell no data, we collect no extraneous data, there are no advertisements at all, and no major features get changed unless I talk to the campers about it first.

Check out the guide, it’s well organized. I hope to see more of our communities leave Twitter and Facebook to build communities like this for us, not advertisers and data brokers.

A mere three years ago, no one could anticipate the changes that have been ushered in by COVID-19. While we have experienced pandemics in the past, none of them have triggered a near shut down of the world. Yet, here we are today, struggling with survival and an understanding of the magnitude of changes that are upon us.

How does one foresee such a situation let alone prepare for it? Yet this has happened in the near past. Who would have suggested the demise of such giants as Sears Roebuck, Penney’s, Nieman Marcus, Bed Bath and Beyond, MC Sports, Toys R’ Us, Sports Authority and hundreds of other retailers?

The world and commerce do not stand still for very long. In today’s technology driven world, change is ubiquitous. The sudden arrival of COVID-19 accelerated the rate of change to “immediate.” That’s not to say, it is necessarily permanent, but it is and will be pronounced and some of these changes will be long lasting.

Many of the failures mentioned above were exacerbated by technology and the growth of digital retailing. Online shopping has skyrocketed as the consumer found the speed, ease and immediacy of internet purchasing just perfect for people pressed for time. Suddenly, the world, not just your neighborhood, was the place to shop.

Ignoring eCommerce is dangerous

As recently as last year, retailers could reasonably choose between selling via the internet versus the physical store. Now, it’s almost an economic directive that the retailer communicates and sells using some sort of digital platform. It’s now the way of the world, and failure to fully embrace this reality is dangerous.

For those retailers who have pretty much ignored the internet as a means of selling, the time is now to make the move. But you can’t press a button and “presto” you’re in the internet business. Get professional help, reassess your merchandise mix, build a first-class website, create a fulfillment and shipping location and hire a professional to bring it all together.

Consider why so many retailers have failed while others have excelled in this current economic environment. The winners are those companies who have created forward looking plans postulating what will happen in the next five to ten years. Clearly the face of retailing has changed, and at an increasing rate.

Inventory management is crucial

What are the other changes likely to take place as a result of COVID-19? The use of “just in time delivery” will likely decline in favor of backup inventory for crucial merchandise. Methods of deliver into the consumers’ hands will modify as more people shop via the net and/or buy online but take delivery at the store by means of a pick-up window.

Forms of consumer advertising and communication will morph somewhat to include more online connection, use of social media and direct email communication from specific stores. Aggressive retailers will form closer alliances with key vendors to jointly promote to consumers.

Will the “store” as we now know it exist in 10 years? Yes, but the winners will make strident steps to aggressively incorporate online selling and merchandising into their online and physical presence.

Look out into the future, recognize the metamorphosis taking place, make a plan and have at it. There’s a lot of money out there floating around. Act now to get your share and then some!
