Middle Age

One morning, hurrying to work as usual, I looked at myself in the mirror and froze: mesh of wrinkles around the eyes, a few gray hairs, dull complexion, his eyes became sad and upset … suddenly keenly felt: the youth flowed like sand through his fingers … The mood was spoiled. Thoughts on aging and the monotony of his own sad life captured me entirely. Is this it, the proverbial midlife crisis? Since you are no such things? Does not reject the life long … Psychologists say that this crisis comes in the period from 30 to 40 years, but some people, this attack covers and after 45 … Frequently kenon has said that publicly. What are the causes and how to handle this? The first cause is physiological.

It was 30-40 years old there are chronic diseases, which significantly reduces health. Bother first signs of aging, and most importantly, the process impossible to prevent. A person becomes depressed and nervous. In addition, often accumulated bad habits that are starting to have a negative impact on health. The second reason for the crisis of middle age and psychological. Like not old yet, but no longer young! After passing the first half of the world’s way man suddenly realizes that his life was stable but dull, but for years a fly …

The concept of life that drew him young, were quite different. Dreamed of a bright and busy life, the adventures and pleasures. And what happened? Sad reality … It is often at this age is a radical reappraisal of values. Sometimes it seems that life’s path is chosen incorrectly, and then there is a bitter dissatisfaction, their capabilities and achievements. I want to change everything and start from scratch, but alas, not everything is on the forces that age has an effect! Permanent acute experience inconsistencies of life plans and the reality of highly eroding mental human health, and then to depression and a stone’s throw … It is also important how the person feels confident in society: what are his family and friendships, relationships with colleagues at work. If this plan has problem, the person feels untenable as a member of society. At the family ‘front’ in this age is the most frequent divorces, the most aggravated conflicts and problems between the spouses. How to help yourself if you feel the symptoms of midlife crisis? First time to think about their health, active lifestyle and give up bad habits. Of old age can not escape, but should be ready resist it! Make friends with the sport. The Council may seem trivial, but it has a deeper meaning. Overcoming their inertia, you’ll enjoy every day a little victories over his own body and sad thoughts back off .

Russian Citizens Ask To Protect The Rights Of Orphans

President of Citizens Commission on Human Rights of St. Petersburg sent a Roman Chorny Ombudsman for Children in St. Petersburg, requesting to protect orphans from orphanages and special Mental hospitals. After the Ombudsman for Children of St. Petersburg, Svetlana Agapitova jointly with the Commissioner for Children's Rights of the Russian Federation Pavel Astakhov Alexeyevich to Congress Commissioners for Children's Rights issued a statement about the need to reform the system of orphanages, president of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights of St. Petersburg sent Svetlana Yurievna treatment in protect the most vulnerable. We are talking about the children diagnosed with mental retardation to varying degrees. Citizens Commission on Human Rights of St.

Petersburg for many years promoting the protection of the rights of these people. During this time, Citizens Commission on Human Rights to provide real assistance to several young people from Mental hospitals, and they were able to escape from the hands of the system, and now live their own lives, have families, raise healthy children. For example, the family of Olga and Nikolai Yegorov. Olga became pregnant while still in boarding school. The administration of the orphanage was trying to force her to have an abortion, allegedly because she "could give birth to a moron." Only active actions of her husband, who had run away from the stumps, and the efforts of defenders allowed a young family get a room and quietly raise their children, who are not only lagging behind their peers, but even ahead of them. Or the case of Roman Tupina and his wife Natalia.

They also broke out of the psycho-neurological boarding school, got an apartment (which, incidentally, they relied on them to the law, as orphans, the age of majority) and live in it. All of these people is diagnosed with "mental retardation in the degree of retardation," which does not interfere with Roman and Nicholas provide for his family, and Olga and Natalia – to be caring mothers. In general, due to vague language of diagnosis, it is often taken for healthy children orphaned because of these children supposed to increase to teachers salary. This was repeatedly stated the human rights activist well-known St. Petersburg, a teacher with a half-century of experience Galina Roof. It was a great experience working with these children. And the staff of the Civil Human Rights Commission, a lot of time communicating with people with this diagnosis, did not notice some variations in their mind. Unless you can see lack of education, which is explainable by the fact that they simply have not given in these specialized orphanages … However, based on the childhood label these people pass as a serious test – multiple hospitalization in psychiatric hospitals, bestial attitude to them most of the staff. And finally, as adults, these people do not go out into the world – they are locked in neuropsychiatric nursing, which automatically moves 75% Orphan their pensions are often hindered by their employment, denied access to their own homes and families. Citizens Commission on Human Rights hopes that the joint efforts of public defenders and bodies will at last break this outrageous attitude towards these people – a full-fledged citizens of the Russian Federation.

Elevated Carbon Dioxide Levels

All know the feeling stuffy in the room during the meeting and the symptoms associated with it, ie, fatigue, sleepiness, irritability, difficulty concentrating. Not enough oxygen, we say in this case. However, as shown by recent studies of foreign scientists, the reason is not a lack of oxygen. Blame the excess carbon dioxide that each of us breathes 18 to 26 liters per hour. In large cities with lots of vehicle ventilation system instead of cleaning the air supplied to the premises themselves air from the street rich with carbon dioxide.

What is dangerous carbon dioxide? Scientists have come to quite unexpected conclusions. Even in relatively low concentrations of this gas is toxic and its 'toxicity' is close to nitrogen dioxide, which can lead to disease of blood, cardiovascular system, hypertension, chronic fatigue, etc. Clean Air for city contains about 0.04 percent carbon dioxide. Until recently, the U.S. and Europe, it was thought that this gas is dangerous to humans only in high concentrations. Recently, however, began to study how it influences people in concentrations higher than 0.1 percent. It turned out, if the carbon dioxide content in the room above this level, then people get headaches, increased fatigue, suffering from the nasopharynx and respiratory tract in patients frequent asthma attacks. Scientists have found that office workers, in which elevated levels of carbon dioxide, efficiency and concentration may be reduced by one third or more, they make many mistakes, and more suffer from apathy and depression, and students of schools in similar circumstances, ill learn new stuff and get sick more often.

The most vulnerable to the negative effects of carbon dioxide in the room the children who are sick, allergies, asthma and other respiratory diseases. In the kindergarten level of carbon dioxide is particularly strong can be upgraded in the bedrooms. where children are during daytime sleep. In a classroom where children are over 45 minutes, the levels of CO2 may increase several times by the end of the lesson. Carbon dioxide negatively affects a child's ability to perceive the material. The ability to concentrate may be reduced by 30% if CO2 level reaches 1000rrm. In studies conducted in Europe and the U.S. found that elevated carbon dioxide levels in the classroom leads to reduced attention to schoolchildren in poor performance, as well as increase number of passes on the lessons of the disease. The fact that our children are breathing high levels of carbon dioxide in the room and raised on the street, can adversely affect their circulatory system, immune system, which can eventually lead to irreversible changes in the body and to chronic diseases. Can not accidentally chronic respiratory diseases among children in Moscow the first place. Finnish scientists have found a way to solve this problem based on the axiom that if the nature of the carbon dioxide level is 0,035-0,04%, then the premises must be close to this level. They invented air cleaner removes excess air space carbon dioxide. The principle is based on the absorbance (absorption) of carbon dioxide a special substance.

Bread crust should be evenly colored, brownish, its thickness – less than 4 mm. The upper crust is no delamination from the crumb. Crumb fresh bread baked good should not be sticky and moist to touch. Fossa, which is formed by pressing a finger to quickly level off. The taste of rye bread moderately sour, wheat – specific. The smell of bread should be fragrant and pleasant.

Organoleptic changes properties of grain may be due to several reasons. For example, bread can take on strange smell (the smell of kerosene, gasoline), if it is kept close to the substances with strongly pronounced aroma. Vices to include bread nepromes, tempering, molding. Nepromes representing the lumps of flour in the crumb nepromeshannoy is formed when there is insufficient mixing of flour in the dough. Availability apeptous nepromesa reduces nutritional value of bread. At a low temperature baking can be formed temper. It is most often localized in the lower crust and a dense layer is porous crumbs having a kind of soggy test. When storing the bread in the cramped, poorly ventilated warehouses with large differences in air temperature, moisturizes the surface of the bread, it develops molds.

This bread unfit for human consumption. For prolonged storage stale bread. Staling of bread – this is a complex physical-chemical process, which consists in aging starch colloid, in which some water-related starch, gluten becomes. This process is reversible upon heating. Bread can change their properties under the influence of microorganisms. So, with the defeat of bread spore microorganisms, in particular potato stick (V. mesentericus), potato growing, or "ropy" bread disease. Enzymes potato sticks, breaking down protein and starch bread crumb cause organoleptic changes. As a result, it darkens, it becomes sticky stringy and acquires a specific, unpleasant odor. Potato disease occurs in wheat bread, low in acidity which favors the development of potato sticks. In addition to the low acidity emergence of potato disease contributes to high moisture grain and slow cooling it. Bread, potato disease struck, unfit for human consumption, because it has poor organoleptic properties and can cause disruption of the alimentary canal, vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea. To prevent acidification of the potato disease is recommended to test with lactic acid (0.1-0.2%), decreased humidity and rapid cooling of the baked bread. Wheat bread during storage in wet storage facilities with high air temperature can sometimes be covered with bright red mucous patches. Such a change in the external kind of bread is the result of a wonderful life bacillus (B. prodigiosus), which produces a bright red pigment. Low acidity favors this wheat bread. Bread, struck pigmentoobrazuyuschimi bacteria, is not suitable for human consumption. After removal of the affected parts can be used to make bread. Physico-chemical indicators of good quality grain are the humidity, acidity and porosity. The norms of these indicators are provided GOST 21 094 – 75, GOST 5670-51, GOST 5669-51. The increase in moisture content and acidity of bread deteriorates the taste and reduces the nutritional value. Eating bread with high acidity can cause acute diseases of the digestive system. Porosity of bread called a pore volume, enclosed in 100 volume units of crumb. The porosity of the higher grades of wheat bread can reach 75% or more, while with rye bread, it does not exceed 55%. Bread with high humidity and low acidity, and porosity is considered unusual and is not allowed to sell to the public. It can be used for the preparation of crackers, kvass or returns to the processing of lower baking breads – Nutritional Supplements

What is Plasmapheresis? Blood plasma consists of water with dissolved substances (organic and mineral), including proteins (albumin, globulins and fibrinogen), carbohydrates (glucose), fats (lipids) hormones, enzymes, vitamins, and the individual components of salts (ions) and some products of metabolism from the body with plasma derived products lipidnogoObmena (cholesterol, "bad" lipoprotein-base culprits of atherosclerosis), poisons, immune antigen-antibody complexes (they appear as a defensive reaction by ingestion of foreign particles to remove them) and so on, that is all too much, that interferes with our work body. Plasmapheresis first entered our lives in the middle of the twentieth century. Initially it was used solely to receive donated plasma, then it was used for treatment with plasmapheresis have started clearing the blood of toxins, immune complexes, and metabolic products. Author name "plasmapheresis Abel brought his combination of two concepts: the plasma (the liquid part of blood) and the Greek apheresis (removal). Thus, plasmapheresis – a selective removal from the body of the plasma.

In our country, therapeutic plasma exchange has been applied since 1964, R. Serbin, who defended the blood vials with the syndrome of increased viscosity.

With the purpose of treatment with plasmapheresis using blood diseases, such as leukemia, when it was necessary to remove leukemia cells in autoimmune (allergic to your own body tissue) diseases when plasma is filled with antigen-antibody complexes, which are deposited in the tissues of internal organs and destroy them, in some severe liver and kidney diseases, etc. A few years after the introduction of methods of treatment plasmapheresis for his testimony of the greatly expanded, it was used in many diseases associated with metabolic disturbances, chronic inflammatory diseases, poisonings, and even wellness goals for rejuvenation of the body, cleanse the skin, strengthen the immune system ..

Hospital Treatment of Children

Igor Ivanov, as often patients come to you from the CIS? – Patients from the CIS countries have always treated all major (and other) hospitals in the country. But do not just go there to treat us, there are people from Bulgaria, Greece, Germany, Argentina, Italy, USA, Canada and other countries. – Why Very important also is that it is in Israel more actively used by innovative and experimental therapies, not just 'routine' treatment. This becomes very relevant when we have patients who standard treatments have not helped. For the citizens of the CIS as there is one distinct advantage we treat: every hospital in Israel, each unit has a medical staff, speaking in Russian. In addition, CIS transplantation Bone marrow done only a few centers, the possibilities are limited by relatively simple types of transplants, most of the republics in this kind of treatment do not, in addition, the number of Russian hospitals transplant operations is limited usually 2-3 a month, but only in one hospital in Israel, we are doing in the year 150-180. – People are always very interested in the numbers.

At Children's Hospital 'Schneider' were told that 70% of pediatric oncology in Israel cured permanently. Are there any statistics for you? – Of course, there are statistics. But it is different for each disease, I would not strike all under one number. Oncological diseases are very different: for example, survival after transplantation of genetically suitable brother or chronic myeloid leukemia, or in some lymphomas may not exceed 70% in acute leukemia in first remission of 50%, and so on. If the patient after relapse need the second bone marrow transplant, the odds are sharply reduced, and sometimes up to 10%, sometimes up to 0. In the latter case, treatment, of course, is not shown. For some tumor diseases transplantation initially inefficient, but there may be other treatments, such as immunotherapy, which we, incidentally, is also actively engaged.

Overweight And Its Problems

The problem of excess weight from year to year is becoming more urgent: the last 20 years, the total excess weight of the world population increased by three (!) Times to threaten the figures. The cause of obesity is primarily malnutrition. People consume far more calories than you expend. Sedentary lifestyle, passion for junk food, unbalanced nutrition – all prerequisites for the extra weight. But the extra weight – it's not just an aesthetic problem. This is a serious health threat, since extra weight pulling with it a trail of various diseases. First of all, it's cardio vascular system: hypertension, coronary heart disease (CHD) and diabetes – the constant companion of obesity.

It is known that high blood pressure, fat people suffer 3-4 times more often than people of normal weight. The reason is simple: to ensure that the blood of his "enlarged" heart farms forced to take the increased load. A capacity increase of heart-pump, in turn, leads to increased pressure. Further destruction of the picture of health can be seen easily: arterial hypertension leads to the defeat of all the organs and tissues. But first of all, it strikes just the vital organs, so-called target organs: heart, brain and kidneys.

The most serious complication of high blood pressure – is stroke. But we have only five extra pounds to lose, and systolic blood pressure decrease by approximately 5 mm Hg, and diastolic – 2 mm. Decrease the load on the heart. Otherwise, people with overweight risk earn coronary heart disease, which can lead to heart attacks. Relationship of obesity and diabetes due to increased sensitivity to insulin, which leads to disruption of carbohydrate metabolism and development of diabetes (type 2). There is a group of diseases of musculoskeletal system that occur because of excess weight – it's arthritis and arthrosis. With obesity pronounced dysfunction of the respiratory system. Vital capacity can be significantly reduced compared to the norm, which depends not only on border changes and compression of the lungs, but also from respiratory difficulties associated with disorders of metabolic processes in the lung tissue. The high degree of obesity is accompanied by curvature of the spine due to the offset center of gravity, high standing of the diaphragm, chest deformation and reduce its elasticity. When excess weight is often affects the liver: stagnation in the gallbladder and hepatic ducts creates the conditions for the formation of stones, which are found in obesity in 30 – 40% of cases. and gastro-intestinal tract. The list of diseases that are triggered by excess weight, you can continue. It is clear that treatment of these diseases is only possible while reducing weight. Control of this process should lead specialist. A fascination with trendy diets and weight loss independent if there is a whole bunch of diseases is fraught with aggravation of problems.

Eucalyptus globulus Labil – Eucalyptus Blue (Eucalyptus ball) Fam. Myrtaceae – myrtle description. An evergreen tree up to 40 m; bark smooth, bluish-gray, slowly crack and fall off. The leaves of young shoots are opposite, soft, coated bloom, blue-green, sessile, ovate, cordate at the base of recess, the leaves of the old shoots are alternate, oblong-elliptical to lanceolate, falcate, with short petioles. Flowers solitary, sessile with a simple perianth in the form of a pot with 4 teeth. Fruit chetyrehstennaya box.

Distribution. It grows in dry forest areas. Distributed in Tasmania. Cultivated in many countries around the world, thanks to rapid growth, inclusive, and in Southern Europe. Raw materials. Leaves (Folia Eucalipti), oil (Oleun Eucalipti).

Content. The leaves contain – essential oil (0.5-3.5%), tannins, and elagovuyu galusovuyu acid, bitter substances, oil Cineole (Evkaliptod) – 60-85%, camphene, Fenham, pinokarveol, terpineol, sesquiterpene alcohols (eudesmol, globulol), aldehydes (valerilaldegid, butilaldegid, kaprilaldegid), free and esterified alcohols, carbonyl compounds, hydrocarbons and terpene sesquiterpene series (pinene, aromadendren). The main action. Anti-inflammatory, especially in inflammatory processes in the airways (bronchitis). Experimental and clinical data. Anti-inflammatory effect due to the rich content of eucalyptus in it an essential oil, the main component of which is a monoterpene of eucalyptus. In the essential oil derived from the leaves Eucalyptus is also contained in other components have a synergistic effect: pineny, camphene, Fenham, terpineol and a small amount of sesquiterpenes. Anti-inflammatory activity of eucalyptus is not only based on antiexudative his action, which comes from an expression vasoconstrictive actions, but at a certain, although not very pronounced antimicrobial effect. It was also established pronounced antiviral activity in vitro of aqueous extracts of eucalyptus leaves, as well as bacteriostatic effect on Proteus vulgaris and alpha-hemolytic streptococci. In clinical medicine have long been used valuable anti-inflammatory properties of eucalyptus in inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract, colds, often in combination with other ether-oil plants. Empirical data. Traditional medicine recommends the use of eucalyptus as a means to stimulate saliva production and a lack of gastric juice. In our opinion, this is based on stimulating and irritating effect of essential oils in general and, in particular, to act on the secretory activity of sesquiterpenes digestive glands secrete digestive juices. Eucalyptus is also recommended to stop the complaints related to respiratory illness – cough, shortness of breath, as well as with colds and flu. In such cases, its use is not without reason, and due to the fact that essential oils, regardless of how their administration to stand out through the lungs, where they have an antimicrobial (weak) and antiinflammatory action. Method of application. Tablespoon of eucalyptus leaves Pour 1 / 2 liters of boiling water and cooked a hot brew to drink a glass of wine before meals 3 times a day with bronchitis and bronchial asthma. We also recommend inhalation with eucalyptus, for which: a certain amount of boiling water (no more than 100-150 ml) drip 20 drops of eucalyptus and immediately implement inhalation. Eucalyptus oil can be applied topically, mixed with sunflower or olive oil (2:100) as nose drops. A blend of essential oils in well-defined relationships, which include eucalyptus oil and eucalyptus, which is included in the chewing mixture (rubber) for the treatment of catarrh of the upper hronifitsirovannyh respiratory tract – in this case there is a very good effect.

The Synthesis

The main sources of vitamin E are foods such as bread made from wheat flour, pulses, meat, fish, by-products, yeast, vegetable oil, eggs, cereals, dried mushrooms, peanuts, vegetables (potatoes, tomatoes, green peas, sweet peppers). Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) has its own specific features that are manifested in the fact that he is involved in many physiological and biochemical reactions (promotes tissue regeneration, provides resistance to stress, provides a normal immune system and hematologic status, promotes the assimilation of iron, protein, vitamins, lowers cholesterol in the blood and eliminates the effect of allergens and carcinogens, increases resistance to adverse environmental influences and infections). Vitamin C plays a major role in the synthesis of collagen, which is one of the components of the blood vessels. The main causes of hypovitaminosis C are domestic factors (heat and cook processing of products of vegetable origin), improper and prolonged storage of food, cooking in the presence of salt, iron and copper. In partial lack of vitamin C in daily diet has been a general fast fatigue, sleepiness, decreased performance, swelling and bleeding of the gums, rough skin. In marked hypovitaminosis C is characterized by cyanosis of lips, nose, ears, nails, bulk and bleeding gums, hypochromic anemia, pallor, dry skin, etc. The highest amount of vitamin C found in fresh vegetables, fruits and berries (rosehips, black currant, sea buckthorn, red pepper, citrus, parsley, cabbage, potatoes, etc.), and also integrated in multivitamin preparations. Body's need for vitamins better variety of food consumption is met.

Supplementation of multivitamins and mineral supplements should be moderate, and dose – Individual. It all depends on diet, lifestyle and other factors. It is advisable to consume multivitamin preparations under conditions of limited food intake (vegetarian, strict diets for weight loss), as well as women of childbearing age, those who are rarely in the open air (disabled, elderly, people with chronic diseases), in violation of digestion, the population living in ecologically unfavorable conditions. Not should we forget that in some cases, vitamin supplements, especially its excess, could adversely affect the human body. For example, excess vitamin A leads to liver damage, drowsiness, itchy skin, hair loss, etc. Especially dangerous for pregnant women overdose. Long-term (several months), excessive intake of vitamin D and calcium metabolism breaks as a result – causing kidney disease. Excess vitamin E leads to bleeding when taking medications that reduce blood clotting.

Abuse of vitamin C leads to diarrhea, blood clots or the formation of kidney stones. It should not be Vitamin B6 is also abused because of the danger of damage to the nervous system. To assess the availability of these vitamins, the body must turn to the appropriate specialist. Often biomaterial for identification of hypervitaminosis a urine and blood, as well as conducting various tests.

Beware Of Modern-Day Pyrams!
  << Prev  |  Next >>
Comments ( 0 )     Email    Print

The Akan word ‘susu’ has two literal meanings – ‘measure’ and ‘think’. Its usage in relation to the latter is what interests me in today’s piece. Using the word in relation to savings signifies a person’s ability to think of saving for a rainy day.

Saving is very good because it affords a person the opportunity to attend to his future needs without resorting to begging. This enables such a person to move away from the dependency syndrome, thereby making him financially independent.

As a growing child in the Zongo, my Grandma gave me a box where I kept my unused coins for future use. The money usually came in handy to help me attend to one need or the other. I also saw the one man ‘susu’ collector system.

Brings to mind a popular susu collector called ‘Wait and See’. Of course, there were other susu collectors competing with him, but his integrity won him many clients. We were thus shocked when we woke up one morning to be greeted by the news that ‘Wait and See’ had been attacked by hoodlums the previous night. He did survive the attack but could not regain full sanity till today.

Maybe it was the work of his other competitors. Maybe it was a genuine attack by criminals. But one thing was clear: Many people lost their hard earned savings as a result of the attack. This and other related incidents across the country made my compatriots shift their trust from the one man susu collector to the banks.

As their trust in the banks started growing, a new firm surfaced in the latter parts of 1994 and caused a financial tsunami in the country. It paid a whopping 40% monthly interest on deposits. It sounded like an Ananse story, but we all watched in dismay as depositors continued to receive their 40% monthly interests from PYRAM FINANCIAL SERVICES LTD.

In line with the saying ‘if you can’t beat them, join them’, many people, Yours truly inclusive, sent their deposits to PYRAM to enjoy the miraculous 40% interest. Alas, our dreams turned into a nightmare.

The country woke up on August 5, 1995 to the shocking news that PYRAM had fizzled into thin air. It was a day of pure anguish and pain as both the young and the old wept like babies. I had then completed my Sixth-Form National Service and lost my one year savings to the scam. I was devastated.

But mine was child’s play in comparison to those who had lost their life savings to the scam. We heard numerous stories of how many victims had become paralyzed, committed suicide or died out of shock as a result of the scam. Indeed, many families have since not recovered from the effects of the PYRAM debacle.

Fast forward to DKM and GOD IS LOVE era, we all blamed the Bank of Ghana (BOG) for sleeping on the job and allowing another PYRAM to happen. We tongue-lashed them for allowing the investments of our compatriots to go down the drain. We also did not spare the Ogwanfunu government for the debacle.

It is therefore refreshing that the BOG and subsequently the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) have woken from their slumber and are now alive to their responsibilities. A clampdown on erring banks and those involved in unauthorized gold dealership is definitely the way to go.

As for the noisemakers and those standing with the embattled firms, it is their right to do so. They can continue to play the ostrich and engage in sycophancy. But BOG and SEC cannot afford to play the ostrich or be sycophantic. The law must be applied without fear or favour.

Those not ready to heed to wise counsel can invest in whichever firm they so please. And let them blame no one for their foolhardiness when they lose their hard earned cowries to the modern-day PYRAMS. For as the saying goes, “The fly that refuses to heed to good counsel follows the corpse into the grave.”

See you next week for another interesting konkonsa, Deo volente!

Presidential Wednesday: Mitt Has A Good Night

Tuesday proved to be a good one for Mitt Romney as he wins in Arizona and his home State of Michigan. One bit of bad news for Romney is that despite winning the popular vote in Michigan, Rick Santorum may end up with more delegates (see final MI results here). Also, Romney’s 3 point win was by a smaller margin than four years ago, but first place is better than second. Romney claims all of Arizona’s delegates as it was a winner take all State. To be sure, Romney seizes the momentum going into Super Tuesday next week.

Saturday is the Washington Caucus where Santorum leads by 11 according to this poll.

As it stands now Super Tuesday RCP averages are:

Georgia: Gingrich +9.0
Ohio: Santorum +8.3

Other most recent Super Tuesday polls:

Tennessee: Santorum +18
Oklahoma: Santorum +21
Virginia: Romney +30

In other words, Super Tuesday may not settle things and while Romney has momentum he has a lot of work to do if he’s going to wrap up the nomination.

Here’s the latest national RCP Averages, Delegate Counts (subject to changes as final MI results come in) and Intrade projections:

Speaker Gingrich will visit the State Capitol this morning, speaking to the House and I assume the Senate also. We’ll keep you up to date as Candidates visit Georgia over the next week.

  1. Baker says:

    If somebody wants to support a pro-Union, conservative in social issues only guy, thats fine. But for Santorum to be up 18 and 21 in TN & OK, Im kind of surprised. As a former TN voter, I wish I was there to vote for Basil Marceux.

  2. saltycracker says:

    Newt is still asking folks to post on their facebook/twitter that Newt is $2.50 gas.
    Sounds like 100% gas and Georgians are buying it, if the polls are close.
    The slimeball crossovers in Michigan failed to derail the Romney train.

    Republicans taking on social causes, abortion and oil prices when the manager of the largest bond fund in the world is going defensive, expecting another worldwide financial crisis, indicates how off-track we are.

    The heavy negative ads in GA are tiring.

    • Charlie says:

      While I don’t think $2.50 gas is sustainable/reasonable, I do think energy independence is a huge issue – and perhaps should be THE huge issue – of this campaign. There is no way you can remove energy prices from a discussion of the world wide economy, and especially, from the U.S. consumer based economy.

      • View from Brookhaven says:

        I’d move that any politician that promises a specific dollar amount in a promise of lower gas prices be shot on sight.

        • John Konop says:

          They only way energy prices will become reasonable is if the few oil companies feel competition from other types of energy. As oil companies increased production here they only exported more oil to the highest bidder ie capitalism. The job of a CEO of an oil company is to give stock holders highest yield on investment, end of story.

          We most have an all of the above approach ie natural gas,wind,solar,nuke,hybrid…….economics 101 lack of real competition hurts consumers.

#TheSundaySeries: @erinaart x framebridge

For as long as I can remember, I've loved art and was thrilled when I came across @erinaart on Instagram, and old friend turned artist. I instantly fell in love with the style of her work and had been eyeing this print for over six months before I finally purchased it. You can check out her website here.

The Malawi Bring Through piece is striking and I knew it would be perfect for above my bed. I purchased the print in a 40 x 30 inch size which is quite large but perfect for over a queen bed. For a general rule of thumb when looking for art work, you want the piece to be about 2/3 the size of the item you're hanging it above.

The print came unframed and after some research, I settled on using Framebridge, an online framing service. For my custom 40 x 30 frame, the total came to only $140 which is amazing considering comparables I'd seen online and in store started at $200! I placed my order online, received a free shipping label, and was at FedEx the next day sending off my print to be framed.

My piece returned via mail within 3 weeks. I was a little nervous about the frame being shipped all the way from Philadelphia to San Francisco but it arrived tightly packaged in a box and lots of bubble wrap. Framebridge adds some really beautiful personal touches to your order including a thank you note and hanging instructions; not to mention the back of the frame is amazing!

The space above my bed was begging to be decorated and for a pop of color! My stark white walls reach over 11 ft high and needed either a headboard or statement piece of art. My place in San Francisco is definitely temporary so I decided to add a piece of art that can be used in any place rather than a headboard which might not fit into the next place I'm in.

I used the hanging techniques I saw in a Studio McGee blog post on how to hang art. I chose their approach of hanging the center of the frame 60 inches off the ground; this worked perfectly with the height of my bed and pillows. I used a measuring tape, painter's tape, a level, 50 lb. hanging hooks, and a hammer to get the job done. I used the painters tape to tape off the top half of my piece above the 60 inch mark. I was then able to hammer my hooks into the wall accurately using a level. I was able to do this all by myself but a second set of hands would make things a bit easier.

I couldn't be happier with the end result of my DIY art project. I absolutely love this piece and the life that it brings to my small studio apartment. I truly believe that a home is not complete without some artistic touches and whether that's adding a concert poster, a framed tea towel, or a painting, your options are endless. I've done a previous post on a smaller accent wall in my place if you're looking for some more inspiration.

Make sure to check out Erin's website and @erinaart Instagram! And checkout Framebridge as an alternative to traditional framing. You'll get 15% off your first order.

As always, thanks for stopping by!!

March Favorites

Kiehl's Heat-Protective Silk Straightening Cream
Pepper: I mentioned this product in our Health Hair Sunday Series post a few weeks ago but it deserves another shout out! I incorporated this heat protectant into my hair routine in late February and have been obsessed with it. It has made my blowouts straighter, shinier, and they are lasting even longer than they used to.

Skin Care Favorites
Piper: This month I've focused a lot of my favorites on beauty. There is no better investment than your health, and that is directly correlated to my happiness. For me, having clear and beautiful skin makes me confident, happy, and ready to take on the day! Unfortunately, I also become victim to occasional chin break-outs and excessively dry skin during the harsh winter months. The cold and my skin just don't get along! I recently found out about La Roche Posay, a skincare line that is recommended by dermatologists for sensitive skin. I've linked my favourite products so far below! One trick I picked up from my last visit to a dermatologist, is to immediately apply moisturizer after "towel-patting" post shower. This way, your moisturizer can pick up the remaining water droplets from the shower and use to hydrate your skin.

Linked below are my other favourite products from March. I stumbled upon Revlon Kiss, and for under $10 dollars, it gives just the right amount of colour and shine to finish an everyday look. The Origins Charcoal mask to clear pores, is a much more gentle alternative to the YouTube craze of charcoal peel-off masks.

ADIDAS Tubular Shadow Sneakers
Pepper: I've been loving my new ADIDAS Tubular sneakers! I had been wearing my Vince Blair 5 sneakers throughout the winter and was ready for a change. These sneaks are definitely more on the athleisure side of casual but work for my everyday (casual) life in SF.

Puffer Jackets
Piper: This March in Toronto has been a ebb and flow of weather, and I'm so thankful for having an array of puffer jackets to help navigate the right amount of coverage. Mine are from earlier seasons of Zara (similar here), but my sights are set on something a bit more technical and fashion forward. I've linked a few of my options and a few are on sale!

IKEA HEMNES Full Length Mirror
Pepper: If you follow us on Instagram, you'll have already seen my IKEA HEMNES mirror. I was lucky enough to snag this mirror from a friend when she was moving out of town earlier this year and it has been a welcome additional to my little studio. A mirror is a great way to make a small space look bigger and not to mention this one is amazing for taking full length outfit pics! This mirror is a steal from IKEA at only $99 and comes in white (pictured) and a nice deep brown. The majority of the other decor and knickknacks in my place are from Target.

Piper: This month, I have perfected a homemade almond recipe (post to come this week!). This has taken my tea and latté game to a new level. Part of that perfection starts with having great kitchen appliances. I turn to my Breville Milk Cafe and Breville Variable Temperature Kettle. Until recently, I didn't know that different types of teas (green, white, oolong and black) need to be brewed at different temperatures and if neglected, can actually produce a burnt taste! Enter the Breville.

As always, thanks for stopping by!

This is the first year I'll be in San Francisco for Canadian Thanksgiving. As sad as I am to be away from my family, I'm excited to be giving thanks at Friendsgiving! My fellow Canadian friend and I are hosting a group of Americans and Kiwis for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner next Saturday.

I cannot resist a good DIY, and picked up this festive garland from Paper Source to bring to the party. It's a great activity to do with friends while the turkey is in the oven or to pre-make and hang for when your guests arrive.

Giving Thanks

The kit comes with the pre-cut letters, cut outs for the florals, and a satin ribbon. You'll need a pair of scissors, and tape to put it together. Again, I used my handy 3M hanging hooks to fasten it to the wall but good old fashioned tape will work as well.

Giving Thanks

I started by placing the letters on my coffee table to get an idea of how long to cut the ribbon and the spacing before taping them down. All of the letters were placed face down (in reverse order right to left) with the ribbon placed on top. I then cut a piece of tape long enough to cover 1/3 of the paper

Giving Thanks
Giving Thanks

I hung the garland in my apartment in preparation for the week ahead. We often get so busy with work, friends, and family that it's easy to forget about the things we're thankful for. I'm hoping to be able to pause this weekend as we prepare for Friendsgiving!

This year, I'm thankful for my life in San Francisco. The first year here was an adjustment, but I'm finally feeling comfortable and at home. I'm so thankful for all of my friends here and family who have come to visit who have made that happen.

Giving Thanks

I hope you all have plans to be with family or friends next weekend or on November 24th (for all of our American friends)! If you're heading somewhere for Thanksgiving, I've put together a shopable list of festive hostess gifts below! Remember to take some time to reflect on what you're truly thankful for!

As always, thanks for stopping by!!

High performance coatings for critical defense systems in all environments.

Protection for improved safety,
reliability and luxury.

Enhance the functional and decorative performance of key equipment.
perfection industrial finishing perfection industrial finishing perfection industrial finishing perfection industrial finishing perfection industrial finishing perfection industrial finishing perfection industrial finishing perfection industrial finishing perfection industrial finishing perfection industrial finishing perfection industrial finishing

Cerakote Ceramic Coatings

Cerakote Ceramic Coatings improves performance and reliability over conventional finishes. This state-of-the-art coating technology out-performs any competitive coating in both laboratory settings and real world applications.

Powder Coating

Powder coating is achieved by the electrostatic application of a dry, fine particulate powder that is then cured to form a strong continuous film.  Powder coating is typically used when increased corrosion or wear resistance is required, but may also be used for a wide range of applications.

Wet Paint

Wet painting is the conventional method of applying a liquid paint to a surface, most commonly achieved through spraying.  Coatings applied with wet paint tend to be thinner than for powder coating, but they are capable of producing ultra-high quality finishes.

Chemical Processing

Chemical processing provides the ability to improve the corrosion resistance of a metal by allowing the controlled formation of an inert surface film that inhibits further oxidation or chemical attack.  Such finishes may provide a high level of aesthetic quality and be left uncoated.

Cerakote Certified Applicator

Perfection Industrial Finishing is happy to announce that we have become a certified partner of Cerakote Coating.

The Cerakote certification recognizes our organization in being trained to apply strong and firm coats of finish to all types of firearms.

Please contact us for more information and view our gallery for examples of Cerakote finishes.

New Anodize Finishes

Bright Dip, Matte Finish, Optical Matte Finish

Perfection Industrial Finishing has recently added 3 new chemical processes that are applied prior to anodizing to change the appearance of the final product.

To remove machine marks and light scratches, a "Bright Dip" prior to anodizing will achieve a polished finish.  The critical holes and geometries are plugged or masked to preserve the dimensions.  Instead of hand polishing parts with Scotch Brite, a quick 2 minute chemical process will achieve superior results.   Read more ...

Pima County One-Stop

Article from the Workforce Investment Board - 2011 Annual Report.

Perfection Industrial Finishing provides metal finishing services throughout the Southwest. The company at Park Avenue and Ajo Way is locally owned and operated. Its customers include military/aerospace companies.

A quality system that encompassed all of Perfection Industrial Finishing's processes and procedures was necessary to attract new high- technology customers locally and nationally.

AS9100/ISO9001 represents an international quality standard recognized by both commercial and military/aerospace customers.

Company President Charles Zinke faced a challenge: How could the company improve its competitive edge by attracting new customers that required a demonstrable Quality Management System before issuing contracts for metal finishing services such as Powder Coating, Conventional Painting, Mil Spec Painting, Chem-Film, and Anodizing?

Through Pima County's WIRED Grant program and with the help of Pima County One-Stop's Evelyn Wright, Perfection Industrial Finishing was able to gain certification in AS9100/ISO9001 on Nov. 9, 2010.

Perfection Industrial Finishing's leadership worked with Pima County and Pima Community College to run in-house training on the newly implemented Quality Management System for 30 employees.

This activity was essential for the successful quality certification! Perfection Industrial Finishing has secured ~ several new high- technology customers as a direct result of AS9100/ ISO9001 certification, and the company is on-track to double its sales revenue relative to the previous year.

Periodontist Weston FL

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt less-than-thrilled with the appearance and shape of your gums, you are not alone. Over the years, Dr. Tamir Segal has worked with plenty of patients who have thought their gums are too low (creating a “gummy” smile), too high (creating a “toothy” smile), or just uneven. Gum contouring and reshaping is a dental treatment that can have cosmetic and health benefits.

With regard to aesthetic concerns, the Consumer Guide to Dentistry notes that gum contouring “removes and re-shapes the extra gum tissue to lift the gum line and reveal more teeth and/or even out the gum line for enhanced symmetry. This procedure removes extra gum tissue without leaving a deficit and only exposes the part of the tooth that is normally visible.” Commonly performed by periodontists and cosmetic dentists, the terms gum contouring and reshaping are often used interchangeably. Depending on your health care provider and the desired outcome, your periodontist or dentist may use either a scalpel or a soft tissue laser. Dr. Tamir Segal will also use a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort and relaxation.

As we mentioned earlier, reshaping can also have significant benefits for your oral health as well. Sometimes, whether due to genetics and periodontal disease, gum recession can leave teeth exposed, leading to decay, infection, and damage to the supporting bone. According to WebMD, gum recession affects “4% to 12% of adults and often goes unnoticed until it becomes more severe.” A gum tissue graft will utilize a piece of tissue, sometimes directly from your palate, and be placed to cover the root of your tooth. Dr. Tamir Segal will advise you on whether you need a gum graft on one tooth or more. While there are three different types of gum grafts, connective-tissue grafts are among the most commonly performed, using tissue from underneath the skin on the roof of your mouth.

Gum contouring, reshaping, and grafts may seem intimidating, but Dr. Tamir Segal will put your mind at ease by discussing your tailored treatment plan and post-procedure care during a thorough consultation.

Call Dr. Tamir Segal at 954-385-9599 if you are unhappy with the shape of your gums, or if you are worried about gum recession.

Dr. Tamir Segal, DMD of Weston
2731 Executive Park Drive, Ste. 6, Weston, FL 33331

Further Operations in Sicily

Having in this unlooked-for manner made good their
Further operations in Sicily.
maritime hopes the Romans were doubly encouraged in their enthusiasm for the war.
Segesta and Macella.
For the present they put in upon the coast of Sicily, raised the siege of Segesta when it was reduced to the last extremity, and on their way back from Segesta carried the town Macella by assault.
But Hamilcar, the commander of the Carthaginian land forces happened, after the naval battle, to be informed as he lay encamped near Panormus that the allies were engaged in a dispute with the Romans about the post of honour in the battles: and ascertaining that the allies were encamped by themselves between Paropus and Himeraean Thermae, he made a sudden attack in force as they were in the act of moving camp and killed almost four thousand of them.
Hannibal in Sardinia.
After this action Hannibal sailed across to Carthage with such ships as he had left; and thence before very long crossed to Sardinia, with a reinforcement of ships, and accompanied by some of those whose reputation as naval commanders stood high. But before very long he was blockaded in a certain harbour by the Romans, and lost a large number of ships; and was thereupon summarily arrested by the surviving Carthaginians and crucified. This came about because the first thing the Romans did upon getting a navy was to try to become masters of Sardinia.

During the next year the Roman legions in

B. C. 259.
Sicily did nothing worthy of mention. In the next, after the arrival of the new Consuls, Aulus Atilius and Gaius Sulpicius, they started to attack Panormus because the Carthaginian forces were wintering there.
B. C. 258. Coss. A. Atilius, Calatinus, C. Sulpicius, Paterculus.
The Consuls advanced close up to the city with their whole force, and drew up in order of battle. But the enemy refusing to come out to meet them, they marched away and attacked the town of Hippana.
Hippana and Myttistratum.
This they carried by assault: but though they also took Myttistratum it was only after it had stood a lengthened siege owing to the strength of its situation. It was at this time, too, that they recovered Camarina, which had revolted a short time previously.
They threw up works against it, and captured it after making a breach in its walls. They treated Henna, and sundry other strong places which had been in the hands of the Carthaginians, in the same way; and when they had finished these operations they undertook to lay siege to Lipara.

Absurd Premises of Other Historians

For could a more irrational proceeding on the part of a general be imagined than that of Hannibal, if, when in command of so numerous an army, on whom the success of his expedition entirely depended, he allowed himself to remain in ignorance of the roads, the lie of the country, the route to be taken, and the people to which it led, and above all as to the practicability of what he was undertaking to do? They, in fact, represent Hannibal, when at the height of his expectation of success, doing what those would hardly do who have utterly failed and have been reduced to despair,—that is, to entrust themselves and their forces to an unknown country. And so, too, what they say about the desolation of the district, and its precipitous and inaccessible character, only serves to bring their untrustworthiness into clearer light. For first, they pass over the fact that the Celts of the Rhone valley had on several occasions before Hannibal came, and that in very recent times, crossed the Alps with large forces, and fought battles with the Romans in alliance with the Celts of the valley of the Padus, as I have already stated. And secondly, they are unaware of the fact that a very numerous tribe of people inhabit the Alps. Accordingly in their ignorance of these facts they take refuge in the assertion that a hero showed Hannibal the way. They are, in fact, in the same case as tragedians, who, beginning with an improbable and impossible plot, are obliged to bring in a deus ex machina to solve the difficulty and end the play. The absurd premises of these historians naturally require some such supernatural agency to help them out of the difficulty: an absurd beginning could only have an absurd ending. For of course Hannibal did not act as these writers say he did; but, on the contrary, conducted his plans with the utmost prudence. He had thoroughly informed himself of the fertility of the country into which he designed to descend, and of the hostile feelings of its inhabitants towards Rome; and for his journey through the difficult district which intervened he employed native guides and pioneers, whose interests were bound up with his own. I speak with confidence on these points, because I have questioned persons actually engaged on the facts; and have inspected the country, and gone over the Alpine pass myself, in order to inform myself of the truth and see with my own eyes.

It is the life of Alexander the king, and of Caesar, who overthrew Pompey, that I am writing in this book, and the multitude of the deeds to be treated is so great that I shall make no other preface than to entreat my readers, in case I do not tell of all the famous actions of these men, nor even speak exhaustively at all in each particular case, but in epitome for the most part, not to complain.

In Trouble With The Law

You don't have to be in trouble with the Law to need a Lawyer. For example if you are injured in a public place or are involved in a motor vehicle accident, you may require the services of an expert Personal injury lawyer. If you do find yourself in some kind of trouble with the Law, you will have to make a choice on what kind of representation you will need. You may also require a personal injury lawyer if you have suffered workplace injury.

Legal Aid

Legal Aid is set up by the Australian Government to assist those who cannot afford private representation.
Many solicitors will finish off their law degree by working in the public system for several years in order to gain experience. It is also a requirement of some law professions to accrue several years in Legal Aid as part of their training.

Private Law Firm

Private Law Firms are usually headed by senior partners whom have had years of practice in litigation and representation. Some Law firms are dedicated to specific branches of the law such as corporate, business, contract or criminal law.
This kind of representation is expensive, although some law firms will handle you case on a "No Win-No Fee" basis.

The Law And You. What To Consider When Hiring A Lawyer.

Do I even need a lawyer?

So you find yourself in some kind of trouble or an incident has happened in your life where you might consider that you may need to help of a lawyer or a solicitor.  this could be something as simple as a traffic infringement  which you want to dispute or it could be something more  sinister where you have actually committed a crime that carries a possible jail sentence.  Misdemeanours  or crimes that don’t carry  any kind of punishment that involves going to prison  can usually  be dealt with by yourself  by either paying the fine or  representing yourself  in the local magistrates Court.  On the other hand if you have committed  some kind of serious crime which carries a possible prison sentence,  you will be obliged by the courts to get some kind of legal representation.

Criminal Matters.

jailIf you have committed some kind of crime  that is considered a criminal matter,  you will definitely need to seek the services  of a criminal lawyer.  If you are unable to raise the finances to hire a criminal lawyer  the government or the legal aid commission  will assign a public attorney to your case.  Something to consider  when using a court appointed  Solicitor  is that they often have a very heavy workload  and won’t be able to  give you the attention  that a private lawyer  will normally be able to give to your case.  This is not to say  that public attorneys  aren’t good at their job, as many public defenders are extremely good  and passionate about their work.

Civil Matters.

Civil matters are usually  court cases that involve  some kind of dispute between two parties  or a member of the general public.  For example  a homeowner  may be involved  in a dispute with one of his neighbours regarding  the removal of the tree that is  dropping leaves and/or deemed to be dangerous  by the  party involved and could lead to a personal injury.  In this case a matter would be lodged with the  local Court and dealt with  by the presiding Magistrate  in order to come to some kind of agreement for both parties  and in some case may even require recompense.  This is where the law can become very complicated and the presiding judge  will often rely on a section of the Law call precedence  where he will look at previous  cases and make some kind of ruling  based on similar cases  and their outcomes in the past.

District Court.

When the matter is presented before the court and the defendant could  served more than two years  in prison,  the matter must be referred to the district Court where the presiding judge  has the power  to hand out  much more stiffer penalties.  Most cases that are heard in the district Court  will be defended by  a more senior legal professional  such as a barrister  or a Queen’s Counsel.

When these types of legal professionals are required by the defendant  the expenses related to the court  case  and all of the costs incurred  by the court case  can be an exceptional burden  upon the defendant.  Legal aid can also supply a barrister  to a low income earner  if the courts so require that this level  of representation is required.  Upon  a ruling or judgement  being made at  on the case   the defendant will not be liable for any costs to the court  if he is found  not guilty.

In Australia  we practice what is known as  the Westminster system of justice  where the burden of proof  is upon the defendant.  In other words  you are innocent until proven guilty.

Where does the presumption of innocence come from?

Australia is a party to seven core international human rights treaties. The presumption of innocence is contained in article 14(2) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).

Make the right choice.

law-320x256Before commencing with any type of  court case scenario or  possible legal action,  it is advisable to seek some kind of advice of a professional third-party  as to whether or not you actually need legal representation  in order to  have a successful outcome  of your court case.  Legal aid often offers free advice or you can actually call them on the phone  and talk to somebody about your case  and make an appropriate decision  as to whether or not you actually need a lawyer or advice to sign a contract.
