  • Systematic, ethical, and Islamic way of generating wealth with small investments
  • SHARIA SMILES portfolios did better than normal SMILES portfolios!!
  • SHARIA SMILES performance way ahead of Sharia Compliant Mutual Fund Schemes
  • SHARIA SMILES way ahead of Nifty SIP, as shown in the table below

For whom?

Employing Sharia compliant principals of investing methods, this monthly SIP product is suitable for investors who have moderate to low risk appetite, want to run for profit and have surplus funds. It is highly recommended for investors of all backgrounds who can await for their investments to yield desired returns or to those who intend to build need based corpus.

Every month ViVeKam will invest in stocks that have high intrinsic value but are under priced. Sharia compliant stocks are separated from the basket of these growth stocks. Such stocks are so selected based on logic built rankings that are reviewed daily. Monthly portfolios are created employing these rules. The stocks in the portfolio are also reviewed every quarter to ensure productivity of the portfolio. Sale of stocks is triggered only when the stock price reaches the perceived price level as defined by ViVeKam’s Stock Value Logic or when the operating results of the stock have failed to enthuse.

Our research helps us assert that every stock, sooner or later, shall complete its price discovery process. And a successful investor is one who does not emotionally attach himself to any stock but uses the stock to create wealth for himself. In-house developed algorithmic logic enables the creation of a portfolio of stocks whose true prices have not yet been discovered by the market. The logic is so designed to identify, periodically review and regularly process only stocks that are likely to achieve price growth in the near future. The core competency of the logic is to stay with Market Winners and not just Market Leaders. Provided the stock is fundamentally strong, every stock is equally important and relevant. This ensures to drive away emotion, develop discipline by consistently investing scientifically and oppose herd behavior – the mantras to successful portfolio strategy! Convinced with the above stated principles, none of our clients are overtly surprised when 88% of the logic selected stocks have appreciated by more than 10% in 3 months from the date of announcement of quarterly results.

For how long?

ViVeKam’s analysis of past 11 years data suggests a minimum period of 3 years to achieve the optimal results of the product.

Breaking News

'No Country for Old Men' and 'There Will Be Blood' Top Oscar Nominations

The films There Will Be Blood and No Country for Old Men lead the Oscar nominations, announced in Los Angeles. Both films earned eight Oscar nods, including for best picture. Mike O'Sullivan has details on the announcement and on prospects for the 80th Oscars in a year marked by a Hollywood writers' strike.

There Will Be Blood, the story of the early 20th century California oil boom, earned nominations for director Paul Thomas Anderson and lead actor Daniel Day-Lewis, who plays a ruthless oil man: "There is a whole ocean of oil under our feet. No one can get at it except for me."

No Country for Old Men, a tale of a drug deal gone bad near the Texas-Mexico border, earned a nomination for supporting actor Javier Bardem, who plays a hired killer. Filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen are nominees for best director.

Atonement, a tale of unrequited love in wartime Britain, earned seven nominations. The legal thriller Michael Clayton also earned seven, including Oscar nods for director Tony Gilroy and lead actor George Clooney, who plays a lawyer known at his firm as "The Fixer": "The math on this is simple. The smaller the mess, the easier it is for me to clean up."

The animated film Ratatouille earned five nominations.

Juno, a comedy about a pregnant teenager, earned four, including nods for leading actress Ellen Page and director Jason Reitman.

The French-language drama The Diving Bell and the Butterfly also earned four nominations, including one for artist Julian Schnabel who directed the film.

Johnny Depp is a nominee for best lead actor for the macabre musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, and Tommy Lee Jones for In the Valley of Elah, one of this year's many films with a plot linked to the Iraq war. Viggo Mortensen earned a nomination as best actor for his role as a Russian mobster in Eastern Promises, and Laura Linney as best actress for The Savages, about a dysfunctional American family.

Cate Blanchett received two acting nods, one for her supporting role as singer Bob Dylan in I'm Not There, and another for her leading role in the period film Elizabeth: The Golden Age.

Here, in her role as Britain's Queen Elizabeth I, she stands up to the Spanish ambassador as their countries verge on war: "I, too, can command the wind, sir! I have a hurricane in me that will strip Spain bare if you dare to try me."

Other contenders for best leading actress include Julie Christie for Away From Her, a drama about love and the ravages of aging, and French actress Marion Cotillard for La Vie en Rose, a film about the great French singer Edith Piaf.

Persepolis, a film based on a graphic memoir about growing up in Iran, will compete for the Oscar for best animated film. This year's foreign-language film entries come from Israel, Austria, Poland, Kazakhstan, and Russia.

The Oscar ceremony, scheduled for February 24, may depart from its usual format if an 11-week-long writers' strike is not resolved. The Golden Globe award ceremony this month was reduced to a news conference after the writers threatened to picket and actors refused to attend.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which presents the Oscars, says its event will go ahead in one form or another.

New Laws Aimed at Medical Bills Come Into Effect

By  |

AUGUSTA, Maine Two new laws aimed at health care costs are coming into effect.

Starting the new year, Maine health insurance carriers will face new requirements under a law backed by Republican Sen. Rodney Whittemore. Carriers must allow enrollees to get cost and quality data for comparable health care services through a website and toll-free telephone number.

Carriers can satisfy that requirement by directing enrollees to the Maine Health Data Organization website.

Also, carriers can no longer deny payment for a covered health care service just because an out-of-network provider made the referral.

Another new law backed by Democratic Rep. Martin Grohman is aimed at unexpected medical bills. The law says carriers can only require enrollees to pay the out-of-pocket cost they would have faced under an in-network provider under certain scenarios.

Don't fall for the scam.
Don't fall for the scam.

Police have issued a warning about a telephone scam which has been used to target hundreds of people across the country.

There were almost 500 reports made to Action Fraud last year about the fraud, which involves cold-callers who pretend to be from a well-known UK telecommunication service provider.

READ: Motorcyclist badly hurt after crash with bus
In many cases, the victims targeted through this particular scam were elderly people.

How does the scam work?

The criminals call victims claiming to provide a ‘Telephone Preference Service’ – an enhanced call-barring service, which includes barring international call centres.

They ask victims to confirm or provide their bank account details, informing them that there is a one-off charge for the service.

Victims instead see monthly debits deducted from their accounts, which they have not authorised.

In all instances, direct debits are set up without following proper procedure.

The victim is not sent written confirmation of the direct debit instruction, which is supposed to be sent within three days.

On occasions when victims attempted to call back, the telephone number provided by the fraudster could not be reached or the victim’s direct debit cancellation request was refused.

READ: Death of teenager found in street not suspicious
How to protect yourself

There is only one Telephone Preference Service (TPS). The TPS is the only official UK ‘do-not-call’ register for opting out of live telesales calls. It is free to sign-up to the register. TPS never charge for registration. You can register for this service here.

You will receive postal confirmation of genuine direct debits. If you notice unauthorised payments leaving your account, you should contact your bank promptly.

Always be wary of providing personal information, or confirming that personal information the caller already claims to hold is correct. Always be certain that you know who you talking to. If in doubt hang up immediately.

If you have been affected by this, or any other type of fraud, report it to Action Fraud by visiting the website or by calling 0300 123 2040. In an emergency, dial 999.

If you have any information regarding those responsible for such crimes, Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.

More advice on how to protect yourself and your family from fraudsters can be found by visiting northyorkshire.police.uk/fraud or following the Take Five North Yorkshire hashtag (#TFNY) on Facebook and Twitter.

On the Sunday before Thanksgiving, The Post -- one of the foremost turkeys (unfeathered) of modern journalism -- published a lengthy diatribe attacking the U.S. turkey industry and included North Carolina's turkey producers in the broadside.

I don't mind so much The Post's attacking me, or President Reagan, or the free-enterprise system. I'm accustomed to that. But when the newspaper jumps on an industry of which I am very proud -- that's going too far.

The piece in The Post was written by a fellow named Colman McCarthy, whom I do not know. That may be one of my special blessings. In any event, Mr. McCarthy appeared to be saying that all of us should stop enjoying turkey at Thanksgiving, or at any other time. He implied that Thanksgiving Day is scarcely more than a commercialized holiday created by the turkey industry. So much for Mr. McCarthy's knowledge of history.

His little diatribe bore the headline "Eat a Carrot, Save a Turkey." It's difficult to conjure up a vision of the Pilgrims sitting down to bounteous servings of carrots on the First Thanksgiving. For that matter, it's impossible to imagine what my five grandchildren, not to mention other assorted relatives, would do and say if Mrs. Helms invited them to sit down to a turkeyless Thanksgiving dinner. Saucers and plates would probably fly around the dining room.

Mr. McCarthy even dragged in a gross misrepresentation of the facts in declaring that "turkey meat is very likely to be infected with salmonella bacteria." The truth, of course, is that some bacteria are to be found in almost everything we eat -- including carrots. In any case, the bacteria to which Mr. McCarthy referred are destroyed after the first two minutes of cooking at 160 degrees.

So, while I'm obliged to object to the attack on the turkey industry, I don't anticipate that the increasing numbers of Americans who enjoy eating turkey (or their increasing frequency of doing so) will diminish. They know a good thing when they eat it. So this latest curious advocacy printed in The Post fits in with its endorsement of communist and socialist dictatorships around the world and its relentless efforts to appease the communists in Nicaragua, Cuba and the Soviet Union.

So let's join in lifting our forks in gratitude for the U.S. turkey industry -- and as for The Post, let's just consider the source.

- The Washington Times - Thursday, August 29, 2002

If Maryland Gov. Parris N. Glendening warns of bone-dry conditions, plan on bringing along an umbrella.
Three times this year the governor's announcements or plans for regional drought restrictions have been accompanied by heavy rains.
On March 18, Mr. Glendening canceled a news conference in Frederick, Md., to declare a drought warning in all or part of seven central Maryland counties. The reason for the cancelation? Rain. More than half an inch fell across the state during four days of showers.
The governor finally issued the drought warning on April 5, and April went on to become the first "wetter than normal" month since July 2001, according to National Weather Service statistics.
So it should have come as little surprise that dark clouds formed overhead just after the governor had announced a drought emergency in 16 counties on Tuesday. The rain started that night, and the NWS predicts that as much as 3 inches could fall in some parts of the state through tomorrow.
"He's as good at predicting the weather as he is at putting together a budget and a map," said Comptroller William Donald Schaefer, a frequent Glendening critic, referring to the nearly $1 billion state budget shortfall and the governor's redistricting plan that was struck down by the Maryland Court of Appeals.
The Maryland Department of the Environment was at a loss to explain the coincidences but was quick to credit the governor.
"He does seem like a rainmaker in some of these situations," spokesman Richard McIntire said.
The last time Mr. Glendening issued a drought emergency for the state on July 29, 1999 15 months of dry weather ended abruptly with Hurricane Floyd dumping more than a foot of rain on parts of the upper Eastern Shore in September. That announcement was made at the Liberty Reservoir west of Baltimore in Carroll County the same site at which Mr. Glendening made the announcement on Tuesday.
So should residents expect history to repeat itself?
"Never doubt the power of Parris N. Glendening," said Glendening spokeswoman Susan Woods.
Miss Woods said the governor was "very pleased" the state was getting some much-needed showers but stressed that a few days of rain is unlikely to significantly alter the rainfall deficit.
State officials say the deficit has been building for a year and ranges statewide from 5 to 13 inches. Even the regular amount of rainfall through the end of the year would be unlikely to make up the difference, they say.
The emergency status issued Tuesday for most of the state restricts watering lawns, using various watering devices, irrigating, and washing cars and hard surfaces such as driveways. It also requires most businesses and industries to reduce water usage by 10 percent and prohibits eating establishments from serving water unless requested by customers.
The NWS's Climate Prediction Center said the drought is likely to intensify through November after Marylanders have elected a successor to the term-limited governor.

DENVER (AP) - The Bonfils Blood Center says supplies are dangerously low and as of Wednesday, it only had enough blood for one day.

The organization’s goal is to maintain a five-day supply, and the center is worried the Memorial Day holiday will make it difficult to recruit enough donors to keep up with demand.

According to KMGH-TV (https://tinyurl.com/nt7jf9s ), Bonfils operates six Denver Metro area Community Donor Centers as well as one in Colorado Springs. There are also several mobile blood drives happening each day in various communities around the state.

CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (AP) - Girls Scouts are making a sweet donation to the Mountaineer Food Bank in Clarksburg.

Representatives from the food bank are headed to the Black Diamond Council to pick up the first installment of Girl Scout cookies. They’ll leave with 81 cases of cookies to be distributed at local food pantries.

Chad Morrison is with the Mountaineer Food Bank. He said the Girl Scout cookies are an important donation for families that are struggling. He said it brings a “sense of normalcy” to a family in need.

TACOMA, Wash. (AP) - The sculpture “Sun King” has never had much respect in Tacoma.

In 1976, when the City Council approved spending $37,000 on the bronze artwork - which weighs 6 tons and stands taller than a semi-truck - the headline in the next day’s newspaper was “Monstrosity? Masterpiece? It’s now ours - forever!”

At the time, “Sun King”’s creator, Oregon sculptor Thomas Morandi, endured a barrage of insults about his work from Tacoma residents, who compared it to “dinosaur droppings” and worse.

Despite its prominent location in front of the Sheraton Hotel at South 13th Street and Broadway, the sculpture was mostly ignored for 30 years.

For many people, its best feature was the satisfying sound it made when hit with the side of a fist - a deep, resounding “bong,” often compared to a Chinese gong.

In 2006, “Sun King” suffered further ignominy. When the Sheraton was upgraded to become the posh Hotel Murano, the building’s new owners asked that “Sun King” be removed, saying it didn’t fit with the image they were trying to create.

The city obligingly hauled the statute off to storage, rusted and decaying from the inside out.

Now, after eight years in exile, “Sun King” is out in public again. Its rusty insides have been repaired, and Wednesday it was trucked to its new home in a tiny pocket park at South 15th and Dock streets, where city arts administrators hope it finally will get the respect they say it deserves.

“I think it’s going to be really stunning in its new location,” said City of Tacoma Arts Administrator Amy McBride. “It’s a magnificent work of art, and I’m really looking forward to having the right space around it to actually enjoy it.”

McBride and Dan Cederlund, the city engineer who orchestrated “Sun King”’s move across town, watched nervously Wednesday as contractors inched the sculpture onto its new concrete base at the park. “Sun King” made the move in three separate pieces. The largest one touched down shortly before 5 p.m.

Cederlund pronounced the sculpture’s new reinforced bottom “better than new.”

A dedication ceremony has been scheduled for June 25.

Regardless of the level of appreciation “Sun King” deserves as artwork, it deserves recognition for the place it holds in Tacoma’s history with public art. “Sun King” was the first major piece of public art commissioned by the city, and it happened decades before Dale Chihuly and before Tacoma began to see itself as an “arts town.”

As a public art pioneer, Morandi and his work bore the brunt of debates not only over the value of spending public money for artwork, but also the value of “abstract” art in general.

The $37,000 paid to Morandi for “Sun King” didn’t come from the local community. It was part of a federal urban renewal grant awarded to the city for the southern extension of the Broadway Plaza.

But it coincided with the debate over “percent-for-art” programs in Tacoma and elsewhere in Washington state.

Sun King’s most passionate defender, then and now, is Ellida A. Lathrop, now 82, and the city’s first arts administrator. Lathrop objected to Sun King being placed in storage in 2006, and she’s been campaigning ever since to return it to public view.

The sculpture and the artist were misunderstood and mistreated, Lathrop said.

Morandi is a very gifted guy, and we beat him up,” she said. “Tacoma was not ready for this kind of art.”

Lathrop admits that even she was slow to warm to “Sun King.” When Morandi first brought a scale model of the sculpture to the arts commission jury in 1976, she was not impressed.

“Actually, I hated it,” Lathrop said, “but there were a lot of other people on the jury who were much smarter than I was.”

Lathrop eventually changed her mind. She now calls “Sun King” ”the single most significant piece of public art in the city of Tacoma.”

“It opened the gateway to the idea that we needed an ordinance to provide money for the arts from public building projects,” she said. “It led to a public awareness that these things are important.”

Morandi was a young man when “Sun King” won the Tacoma commission. A 32-year old professor at Eastern Oregon State University, he’d had only one previous commission, for an abstract stainless steel piece called January Sprinter he did for the city of Pittsburgh.

He’s won 16 large outdoor public art commissions since then - some abstract, others figurative - including works at Reser Stadium at Oregon State University, the Capitol Mall in Salem and Portland State University.

Now 70 and retired from a 25-year career as an art professor at OSU, Morandi remembers his early Tacoma experience as a lonely and grim one.

“The sculpture was never a point of pride with the city of Tacoma,” he said, recalling there was no dedication ceremony or any other public recognition of “Sun King”’s debut.

“It was a cold winter week when we were there and installed it,” he said. “Not too many people paid much attention one way or the other.”

Even so, Morandi said he harbors no resentment.

“I wasn’t particularly surprised by the reaction,” Morandi said. “It was abstract sculpture and not as accessible to the general public as some would have liked. Unless you have some vocabulary - some knowledge to bring to a work like this - it’s going to be difficult to understand.”

Now, 37 years later, Morandi said he remains proud of “Sun King.”

“I still like the piece. I always did,” he said. “Maybe I made better statements at later points in my career, but it remains an honest observation of my environment when I was in my early 30s, and my environment was the Pacific Northwest.”

Morandi said he hasn’t visited the little pocket park where “Sun King” is being installed.

“I’ve only seen it on Google, but you can get a pretty good sense of it that way,” he said. “It’s a nice space, from what I can tell.” He plans to make the trip north to Tacoma next month for the rededication ceremony.

Morandi likes that the park is more open than the old spot by the Sheraton. People will be able to move around “Sun King” and explore it from different angles, he said.

As for whether the new location will lead to lots of new love for the sculpture, Morandi said he’s been around too long to think it’s possible to please everybody.

“There are always going to be people who are not happy with public art,” he said. “It doesn’t make sense to them at any level, and in my experience, they tend to be very vocal.”

- Associated Press - Friday, May 8, 2015

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Gov. Mary Fallin has signed into law a bill setting up a regulatory framework for ridesharing programs such as Uber and Lyft.

But Fallin vetoed a separate bill on Friday that would have changed how future elected state officials, including the governor, are paid.

The ridesharing bill by Republican Rep. Katie Henke of Tulsa defines ridesharing companies as those that use a digital network or software application to connect passengers and drivers. Some Democrats had criticized the bill after the Senate removed a provision to protect gay and transgender passengers from discrimination.

The bill Fallin vetoed would have changed how future statewide elected officials are paid. Instead of linking their salaries to those of various judges, the bill would have placed an annual fixed salary into state law.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Electric bills of 700,000 Entergy Arkansas customers will be going up slightly in April.

The requested rate increase settled Friday raises residential customer bills by 8.2 percent. That means a current $100 monthly electric bill would rise to $108.20.

But the utility will file its annual “fuel and purchased power cost” adjustment next month, which is expected to lower monthly residential bills by about 7 percent.

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports (bit.ly/1QDQiu3) the combination of the two rate adjustments will create a 1.2 percent rate increase.

So a customer with a $100 electric bill should see a bill of about $101.20 for April.

But I Repeat Myself....the Sad Results Never Change

Tuesday, July 13, 2010 (blog originally posted)

The Pint Size State

The sword of the state simply means
The state has the power to regulate
And back it up with all it takes;
This is a role it cannot abdicate
And remain the state

The citizen’s role is large and great
To create, vote, and speak
But the role of the state it cannot take
The sword of the state it must not usurp
For then citizen it ceases to be,
And becomes instead a mini-state

Oh brave new world that attempts to make
Man and gun a mini-state
Forfeiture of roles etched in heaven
It seeks to level with gun metal.

Sometimes, You’ve Got to Put Yourself First

Sometimes, You’ve Got to Put Yourself First

Mother’s spend so much time taking care of others, they regularly forget to take care of themselves. This Mother’s Day we want you to remember… Sometimes, You’ve Got to Put Yourself First.

It may not be surprising, but at Women’s Cancer and Surgical Care we really value the health and happiness of our patients. Many of them are mothers and more than likely they care for others first, then themselves. While we hope everyone is grateful for the love and care they receive from the women in their lives, it is so important that those women do the same for themselves.

Unfortunately, many of the moms we know are battling illness. They often feel guilty because they are having to neglect their usual motherly duties. We can not stress enough how important it is for them to put themselves first during this time. Even if it is a hard thing to do, their recovery may depend upon it.

Mother’s Day is the perfect time for all women to start, or reestablish a self care routine. Putting yourself first sometimes is not only “okay”, it is essential. Even if you’re in good health, everyone needs to care for themselves as they would others. Here are a few tips to get you started

The Basics ~ Eating healthy and getting enough physical activity are well known essentials. We would add to this to drink plenty of water, no smoking, and limited alcohol.

The Next Level ~ Keeping your body healthy is obviously important. But what’s not as obvious is the importance of keeping your mind and spirit in shape too. Things like meditation, hobbies, and building relationships all keep the unseen parts of yourself in good shape.

The Specials ~ Every once in a while do something that is just for you. See a movie, get a pedicure, or simply sit in a spot that makes you happy and enjoy.

We hope all the women out there realize that Sometimes, You’ve Got to Put Yourself First.

Speed Limit Changes On Local Roads

Tuesday September 6 2011

THE speed limits on three local roads are to be changed in the coming weeks as a new road traffic order is put in place.

Highways Officers won permission from the decision-making cabinet to approve plans to alter the limits for Dodworth Road, Barugh Green Road and Hunningley Lane.

It follows an independent study – carried out last year – which gathered speed data, personal injury data and environmental characteristics of every A and B road in Barnsley to determine whether or not they had the appropriate speed limit.

Now, a stretch of Dodworth Road, between Broadway and the M1, will have its speed reduced from 40 to 30 MPH – a decision that will affect 27,000 motorists who pass through each day.

Hunningley Lane will change from 30 to 40MPH and a stretch of Barugh Green Road between Claycliffe Avenue and Cannon Way (currently a national speed limit road used by 7,000 motorists daily) will be changed to 40 MPH.

Coun Roy Miller said: "While the journey times of some motorists may be affected, it is necessary to improve respect for the posted speed limits, to encourage self compliance and to help continue to reduce casualties and the number of speed related collisions."

Despite a lively debate on our Facebook page and on our website about this proposal - the council claim no objections were received either at the initial or formal consultation stage regarding the plans to increase the speed limit on the stretch of Hunningley Lane.

What do you think to the changes? You can have your say in the box below.

Product Overview

Having a sensitive colon is a problem that affects many individuals. Unfortunately, most people are not even aware that they have this condition. This problem can be triggered by certain foods, stress, caffeine or carbonated beverages. This is the problem Bowtrol Colon Control was designed for. It is primarily to address sensitive digestion particularly a sensitive colon.

What Is Bowtrol Colon Control?

Bowtrol Colon Control

It is a dietary supplement that needs to be taken daily to address sensitive digestion specifically a sensitive colon. The supplement works to reduce regular or occasional digestive discomfort by strengthening and protecting the mucosa of the intestines. This also enhances the absorption process enabling the body to utilize all the nutrients consumed. It also helps replenish good bacteria in the colon for optimum digestive balance.

This product can be bought online at the brand’s Official WebSite.

What Are the Active Ingredients?

Activated Charcoal – this active ingredient binds to toxins in the intestinal tract to prevent absorption of such harmful substances. It then passes through the digestive system and is extracted in the stools preventing digestive problems like gas, bloating, infections and loose bowel movements.

Bentonite Clay – this is a special form of inert clay that passes through the digestive system without being absorbed. It absorbs water forming a gel that makes it easier for stools to pass. This is often used to treat constipation naturally acting as a mild laxative. It also collects potential toxins from the intestinal tract which exits the body when stool is passed.

How Does It Work?

The primary actions of Bowtrol Colon Control include making it easier for stools to pass through the intestines, promoting bowel cleansing, decreasing colon irritation and strengthening the mucosa of the intestines. It may cause constipation in certain individuals which requires the user to stop intake and use another product from the same manufacturer(Bowtrol Colon Cleanse).

Strengths of Bowtrol Colon Control

  • It is an all-natural product designed to address sensitive digestion particularly a sensitive colon.
  • The formula helps restore digestive balance.
  • The product helps get rid of toxins that are stuck in the digestive tract.

Weaknesses of Bowtrol Colon Control

  • Some people may be sensitive to certain ingredients in the product’s formulation.

How to Use?

As a dietary supplement, take 2 to 4 capsules in the morning and another 2 to 4 capsules in the evening. Start with 1 capsule in the morning and another at night. In case diarrhea or other symptoms do not improve, increase your dosage by one capsule until you getyour desired results.

What Are People Saying about This product?

The majority of reviews on Bowtrol Colon Control from people who have tried it say it is not a very good product. Many experienced gas, bloating and/or constipation. Conversely, there are also some users who say it is a good product that helped ease their sensitive digestion/colon symptoms.

The Bottom Line

After carefully examining Bowtrol Colon Control, it is not a very good product. It is only recommended for individuals who are diagnosed with sensitive digestion particularly a sensitive colon. For those who are not suffering from this condition, the product may actually do more harm than good leading to digestive problems like constipation and bloating.

Brexit backstop plan published

smart currency

The UK government published its new Brexit backstop plan yesterday, with No. 10 and David Davis both claiming victory, despite the fact that we’re all supposed to be in this together. The Brexit Secretary had insisted that an end-date must be included in the formal proposal for the Northern Ireland backstop and, while it is true that the backstop plan included an end date of December 2022, the wording was far from emphatic, as it says the government ‘expects’ the backstop to cease to apply by December 2022.

Theresa May’s spokeswoman played down reports of tensions between the Prime Minister and several cabinet ministers, but did confirm that the December 2022 date is not legally binding (though not in so many words). Still, it must go down as a good day when parties on both sides of an argument believe they have emerged victorious. It remains to be seen whether the EU will accept the terms of the plan, but the European parliament’s lead spokesman, Guy Verhofstadt, suggested that the plan is not a workable solution.

The currency markets were relatively quiet, although the euro was the best performer of the day, moving a little higher against sterling and posting some decent gains against the dollar. The third estimate of the eurozone’s GDP growth rate for the first quarter of 2018 came in as expected, but factory orders in Germany tumbled by 2.5% when they had been expected to grow by 0.8%. Initial jobless claims in the US came in better than expected, and figures released by Halifax showed that UK house prices rose by 1.5% in May.

Today we will see Germany’s balance of trade report for April and the European Central Bank’s Yves Mersch is set to give a speech. However, it is reasonable to think that the headlines will be dominated by continued discussion of the Brexit backstop plan and whether the UK and EU will come to an agreement on the terms.

Eldren's Josh Lee: Musicians rally around violinist detained by ICE

When the members of local experimental rock band Eldren gathered themselves and their gear together for a June 4 show at Aspen's Belly Up, they quickly noticed one person was missing: Josh Lee, the group's violinist, vocalist and electric guitarist. And then they received a call. From inside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Aurora, Lee told them he had been detained and could face deportation to his childhood home of South Korea.

Eldren's Josh Lee: Musicians rally around violinist detained by ICE

For more than two weeks, Lee has remained in detention, and he faces a best-case release date of July 11, if eligible, while he awaits developments regarding his residency status. In the time since that phone call, prominent members of the local soundscape have gathered to rally around Lee, selling "Free Josh Lee" T-shirts, drafting a petition for his release and staging a benefit concert to pay for his legal fees. In addition to his full-time role in Eldren, Lee has played guest spots with Caleb Slade, Take to the Oars, My Body Sings Electric, Sarah Slaton, Petals of Spain, Valedictorian and -- the list goes on.

According to Lee's younger sister, Esther Seungjin Lee, the two siblings and their parents moved to the United States from Seoul, South Korea in May of 2000. Josh Lee was eleven years old and Esther was nine, and neither has returned to South Korea since. Their father, a small-time pastor, chose Denver because of the growth potential he saw in its Korean Christian community, and he quickly launched a grassroots church in Centennial. "He always wanted to start his own practice from the ground up, and he thought Denver would be the best place to do it," Esther Lee says.

The family applied for permanent residency, but when ICE officials interviewed her father, they found his answers unsatisfactory, Esther Lee says. "Their report indicated they thought he was a fraud, and that's never really gone away or changed," she says.

ICE's policy is not to comment on the details of an individual case, though a representative confirmed Lee has been in custody since June 4 and is not leaving soon.

In the twelve years since they moved, the Lees have applied for residency twice; ICE has denied that request twice and they are currently on their second appeal of that decision. The result is a long-term gray area for the family as a whole -- but the Obama administration's recent executive order allowing most undocumented young people to stay in the country if they were brought here as children would seem to apply to Josh's situation.

However, his case has been complicated by a charge on Josh Lee's criminal record.

In May of 2011, police officers pulled Lee over for a traffic violation before searching his car and discovering a controlled substance. After months of legal negotiations, Lee took a deferred judgment on the charge of possession, whereby he can eventually avoid a formal charge if he obeys the conditions of his plea bargain. But his temporary class six felony drew immediate attention from ICE: On June 4, as Lee accepted two years of probation, ICE representatives met him at the Arapahoe County Probation Department, handcuffed him and took him into custody.

"I visited him that next day, and he was really scared and couldn't stop crying, but he's doing better now," Esther Lee says. "Right now, the goal is just to get him out as soon as possible."

To that extent, Lee is aided by Denver criminal attorney Malcolm Seawell. Because the possession of a controlled substance charge is the greatest red flag in Lee's case, Seawell hopes to renegotiate the disposition of that charge to avoid the "threat to homeland security" connotations that come with a felony charge attached to an already murky immigration status.

In the meantime, as they navigate their current live schedule without Lee, the four remaining members of Eldren are fundraising to support their detained bandmate. When it came to next weekend's benefit concert on Lee's behalf, local bands such as The Epilogues and In the Whale quickly volunteered to join the lineup, and organizers at the Gothic donated the venue time. "People were already reaching out to help Josh before we could even set anything up," Eldren guitarist and keyboardist Tyler Imbrogno says. He yawns. "Sorry, we've been up all night."

That's because last night, four-fifths of Eldren gathered to record a cover of the Beatles' "Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite," which they reworked as "Being For the Benefit of Josh Lee" and will pair with a music video to promote the upcoming benefit. "We're just trying to come up with any ideas we can," Imbrogno says. "There are a lot of people out there in the community who really care about Josh."

Tomorrow, Elden will play the Westword Music Showcase with a 12:45 p.m. spot at Stoney's.

Next weekend's benefit concert features Eldren, In the Whale, the Epilogues and Caleb Slade and is scheduled for the Gothic Theatre at 9 p.m. on June 29.

About this trip

Check all pricing options. Pay in full or split your payments.

Begin your rEVOLUTION. Be the Revolutionary of your own Evolution. Discover your greatest strengths and BIG courage.

A magnificent adventure for you! What makes this trip different than most? We are including adventure and service on our trip. It is a yoga retreat, but that is included just like breakfast, not a focus of what we will be doing.

We will travel and see a Wonder of the World, Machu Picchu. For some adventure we will travel to Palomino Islands and swim (or watch the sea lions).  And for the final beautiful bonus, not only will we be taking in the beauty and adventure offered in Peru, we will offer our appreciation through hours of service in Cusco.  The service project will include three days at a boys orphanage.  No specials skills required.

Last year we painted their dining room. The project we take on will be decided when we arrive and based on their needs. The boys just simply love having us there.... it is an amazing experience!

What’s included

Included in the trip:

*The transportation and excursion to experience the sea lions and penguins of Peru

*Bus to/from Machu Picchu

*Entrance and Guide at Machu Picchu

*Tour of the Salt Flats and more

*Accommodations for 7 nights

*All meals excluding lunch on the day of Machu Picchu

*R/T flight Lima to Cusco

*Train for Machu Picchu

*Taxis and Buses to scheduled destinations

*Yoga class on most days

*** No additional cost for single occupancy***

Not included

*Your flight to and from Lima

*Alcohol and/or souvenirs

*Additional tours or travel

*Travel Insurance

*Meals not listed

*Additional drinking water

*Upgrades to accomodations

Before You Go

Before you go you may want to read up on some common customs but your guides will be there to answer any questions. It can also be helpful to brush up on your Espanol (Spanish) before we depart. They do not speak much English there and just knowing some important words may come in handy during your adventure and service.

I suggest the app, Duolingo, if you would like to practice words that might be useful. Language Zen is another great one but they only have a website.

8 days/7 nights

We will join one another in Lima and spend a day on the ocean exploring the islands and swimming with the sea lions.  Then we travel to the mountains together! Where we will experience the magnificence of Manchu Picchu together.  There will be an opportunity for Peruvian medicinal ceremony for those interested.  We will end our time in Cusco serving at a boys orphanage and seeing this ancient city.

Your Organizer

Tanya Stevens Pence
I have a GREAT passion for travel. I enjoy the process of the journey, I believe that adventure is food for the soul and I LOVE sharing the excitement with others. Latin and South America are where my heart is and I cannot wait to share them with you.

Finless Porpoise

Finless Porpoise is a small grey porpoise.

It is about 1.5 meters long and weighs only about 40kg.

Finless Porpoises Inhabit the Asiatic Coastal Waters
Poster by AllPosters. Click on thumbnail to buy
As the name says, it has got no dorsal fin.

They are active swimmers but they don't put on much of a surface display.

They are found in coastal areas in Asia as well as in Chang (Yangtze) River.

They like shallow waters and they eat squid, shrimp, fish, octopuses and other small animals.

They are protected and not hunted but their numbers are still believed to be on decline.

The threats they face are habitat loss and accidental trapping in fishing nets.

Turning off autopilot.

Going on autopilot is sometimes considered lazy.

But I don’t see it that way.

Check out this definition of autopilot:

An autopilot is a system used to control the trajectory of an aircraft without constant ‘hands-on’ control by a human operator being required. Autopilots do not replace a human operator, but assist them in controlling the aircraft, allowing them to focus on broader aspects of operation, such as monitoring the trajectory, weather and systems.

Going on autopilot doesn’t mean you’re not focused on “flying the plane”, so to speak; it simply means you’re getting some assistance where you can so you can manage all the other big picture things.

I “go on autopilot” sometimes at work. I consider it a means of survival – especially at this crazy time of year. I spend less time doing some things in order to manage the myriad other things I have going on. I let some things be “status quo” so I’m not totally overwhelmed by my workload.

But you take a risk when you go on autopilot. You risk not doing the very best work you can… for the donors.

Because as crazy as it sounds, the donors are the first stakeholders to be neglected. When you’ve got performance reviews and a certain amount of money to raise, you run as hard and as fast as you can for your internal stakeholders, and – if there’s time – you spread a little #donorlove.

So here’s my unsolicited advice to you as we tip over into December:

PAUSE. Breathe. Get off autopilot! Even just for a day. Just for a few hours!

I did this last night. I was doing some work on some big picture creative planning for a client and preparing a slide deck to brief our creative team. I had a glass of wine and the slide deck and was feeling really relaxed and inspired. So I tried to get off autopilot as much as possible. I tried to ask questions that it’s hard to find time to ask: How can we do things differently? How can we surprise the donor? I tried to think of what I learned at the Nonprofit Storytelling Conference. How can I implement what I know to be true? Not just successful revenue-wise, but also delivering the donor what inspires her.

It felt awesome! And I’m not going to just please the creative team when I share the deck with them, or the client when we share the ideas… We’re going to meet the donor where she is and motivate her to give! What could be better?!

GSC (Google Search Console

GSC will identify where you appear in search, how many clicks your website has received and where you rank for searches that people have actually executed in Google. It DOES NOT cover all search terms you might like to rank for and any other search engines or mobile display though which is where SERPs Tracking comes in.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics helps you identify what people did once they arrived at your website. Which pages and content were popular and what users did while visiting your website.

SERPs Tracking

SERPs Tracking helps you identify where you appear in search (any search engine and even which mobile devices and Google's local listings or maps) and shows how effective your organic or paid ranking campaign has been.

Paid Search

Paid search can be used to get you to the top of Google very quickly for specific search terms and we will often use this in conjunction with an organic campaign to help clients get appropriate traffic to their website.

This is just one in a series of articles we have on the subject of Google Analytics, Google Search Console, SERPs and AdWords.

So……A Burglar Breaks Into an Escape Room .

 Oh man, this guy is NEVER going to live this down.

A 40-year-old guy named Rye Wardlaw in Vancouver, Washington broke into a business in a strip mall late on Saturday night.

That business happened to be the Northwest Escape Experience, which is one of those ESCAPE ROOMS that are everywhere now.

And this is a hell of an endorsement for the business . . . because once he was in, he couldn’t figure out HOW to get out of the escape room.

So he wound up calling 911 for help.

The cops came and arrested him for second-degree burglary.

Yukoner wins bronze in NorAm event

In the first North American Cup slopestyle event of the season, a Yukoner landed his skis on the podium.

By Dustin Cook on February 23, 2018

In the first North American Cup slopestyle event of the season, a Yukoner landed his skis on the podium.

Etienne Geoffroy-Gagnon took the bronze medal in the slopestyle competition in Calgary Feb. 9.

In a field of 73 athletes from across Canada and the United States, the Whitehorse skier qualified for the final where the 32 remaining competitors got two more runs on the rails and jump course.

In his first run, Geoffroy-Gagnon tallied a score of 80.41 putting him in second place after the run, just over six points behind the eventual winner Philippe Langevin.

The 20-year-old Yukoner didn’t have a solid second run scoring 43.66 and relying on his first run score for a shot at the podium as the best score of the two is what counted.

He was passed by one competitor, Patrick Dew, who scored an 84.16 to finish in second.

Landing in third place, this is the first time a Yukon freestyle skier has been on the podium in a NorAm Cup competition.

But the season is just beginning for the young snow shredder.

He is in Aspen, Colorado for the second cup event of the season running until Saturday to compete in the slopestyle competition.

Now training in Alberta, Geoffroy-Gagnon is hoping to gain enough points in his runs to qualify for World Cup competitions which pick back up in the beginning of March with slopestyle competitions in Switzerland and Italy.

The third NorAm event is March 12-13 in California with the final event back in Canada running March 27-April 1 in Quebec.

Prior to hopping on the NorAm circuit, Geoffroy-Gagnon took top spot in the most recent Canada Cup competition and after two events sits in second for the Toyo Cup lead – which goes to the most consistent athlete across all disciplines.

The top three athletes overall receive education bursaries. The next event is March 22-25 in Quebec.

Students study with the Masters

Published on

The mid-year Mastercrafts Workshops at Whitireia are a ‘jewel in the crown’ of the School of Art and Design, says jewellery tutor Peter Deckers. The workshops, offered as part of the overall programme each year, bring in specialist artists and craftspeople from various disciplines to teach their professional skills to students.

The object is to provide a different angle or a more in-depth look into subjects the students are already studying. "The workshops are advanced, so artists are not expected to teach the basics," Peter Deckers says. "They will impart their particular specialist skills, and share their work ethics."

"Nobody controls the way each artist runs their class. They are not professional educators, but each one knows what they do well they are mentors, rather than teachers," he says.

This year, however, organisers have ensured that each of the eight artists has some teaching experience, to give the best possible learning environment.

The workshops have been a feature of the Whitireia Art and Design programme since 1988. Because successful artists are scattered across the country, it can be difficult and expensive to arrange work experience for students in the more specialist fields. Tutors decided that it would be more useful — and cheaper — to bring the artists to them.

The workshops have proved very successful, and for many students they are a deciding factor in choosing to take the Whitireia programme.

"Houdini is in town. Can we help?"

Here's a terrific nugget of information from our friend Lisa Cousins, librarian at the William Larsen Sr. Memorial Library at The Magic Castle. (I shared this at my recent "Houdini in Hollywood" talk at the Castle.) It involves Houdini and comedian Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, seen above the set of Backstage in 1919. Lisa writes:

"I've been reading a book called Room 1219 about the Fatty Arbuckle scandal and trials, and I was amused when I came across an anecdote involving a "Judge John Cox," who sentenced actress Bebe Daniels to ten days in prison for speeding. The coincidence became even more amusing when the point of the anecdote proved to be Fatty Arbuckle sending a telegram to the jailed Bebe Daniels, which read "Dear Bebe, Houdini is in town. Can we help? Love."
Judge John Cox seems to have benefited somewhat from the publicity, as Bebe sang a song called Judge Cox Blues at a benefit, and Bebe is said to have been visited by 792 friends during her ten days in jail, including numerous Hollywood celebrities "and one new celeb, Judge Cox."

Not be a buzz kill like my namesake, but Houdini actually wasn't in town in April 1921 when Bebe did her famous stint in jail. But it's a good joke, and the Bebe-Judge Cox speeding incident is a great story from Hollywood's silent era.

You can read more about Bebe Daniel's arrest and Judge John Cox at the Orange County Sheriff's Museum website.

Bebe making the most of her 10 days in jail.

Thank you Lisa!

  1. What a crazy, nutty story. The photos at the museum website are really great.

    1. Yeah, that's a great page. Great story.

  2. What a treat to get the full story - thanks, John!

    I suppose if your middle name was also Belshazzar you would have said as much.

We Are the Best!

We Are the Best! Release Date: May 30, 2014

We Are The Best is an adaptation of the little known graphic novel of the same name about three young misfits growing up in early 1980s Stockholm. Pixieish, mohawk-sporting Klara (Mira Grosin) and her best friend Bobo (Mira Barkhammar) are 13-year-old rebels looking for a cause. Despite having no instruments-or discernible musical talent-the two put all their energy into forming an all-girl punk band, recruiting their shy, classical guitar-playing schoolmate Hedvig (Liv LeMoyne) as the third wheel. With tender affection for his young characters and the period in which his film is set, Moodysson paints an ebullient and sharply observant portrait of DIY spirit and growing up different.
