The ABC Homeopathy Forum

Silica, is my homeopath right?

My homeopath and I belive Silica is right remedy for me. We tried potencies 30C and 200C but it did not seem to work on mental level. Now, my homeopath advised me to take Silicea 1 M in the morning, then Silicea 10 M in the evening, for 3 days. On the forth day she advised 200C in the morning and 30C in the evening. When I asked if it is OK to mix potencies, she said that this is deffinatelly not as per school method homeopathy, but she is advising me according to her personal experience and my own state (she belives I can manage it so high, I am not a slow person to wait long between remedies to work). I have some doubts about how dangerous this method of different potencies can be. What can I expect to happen and how long would i have to wait before it works mentally. Thanks for advice.
  flower8 on 2008-11-24
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Yes mixing so many potencies in such a short period of time needs a skilled homeopath....and constant interaction with him / her.

It would be a good idea for you to post full details of your case here as I would like to be sure that Silicea is certainly your constitutional med.

Know your problem
Know your data
Visualize your data - pie charts
11. Draw the pie chart
Work with your chart
Check yourself

Now you know everything necessary to plot a pie chart, so let's do that.

First, we will add the polar coordinate system to our plot. We do this by adding the following command to ggplot:

coord_polar(theta = "y")

Setting this coordinate system changes how R interprets some of the other commands. The whole syntax will look like this:

ggplot(data = dataset, aes(x = "", y = numerical_variable, fill = categorical_variable)) + coord_polar(theta = "y") + geom_col(width = 1)

First, look at the second part of this code; we set the polar coordinates. Next, look at the mapping arguments in aes(). Here, we remove the x argument by setting it to "". We also set the y argument as the dataset's numerical variable and the fill argument as the dataset's categorical variable. Lastly we added geom_col(width = 1). In the polar coordinate system, this will plot wedges for each category. (When we use the familiar Cartesian system, which has two perpendicular axes, this command sets the bar size.)

Let's plot our data on a pie chart.

To do that, use the above syntax for the ggplot() function. Set france_beverages as the dataset, the percent column as y and the beverage column as fill. Pass this command to the object pie.

Stuck? Here's a hint!

You should write:

pie <- ggplot(data = france_beverages, aes(x = "", y = percent, fill = beverage)) +
  coord_polar(theta = "y") +
  geom_col(width = 1)

Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels

Feeling bugged out? Caterpillars like nests of the Wandering Albatross

Tanya Haupt (Department of Botany and Zoology, Stellenbosch University, South Africa) and colleagues write in the journal Polar Biology on why Wandering Albatross Diomedea exulans nests contain so many moth caterpillars.

The papers’ abstract follows:

“On the South Indian Ocean Province Islands of the sub-Antarctic, most nutrients are processed through a detritus-based food web.  On Marion Island, larvae of the moth Pringleophaga marioni are one of the key decomposers. Abundance of these caterpillars is higher in newly abandoned Wandering Albatross (Diomedea exulans) nests than other habitats, and this observation has been explained by hypotheses regarding the thermal and nutrient advantages of nests.  These hypotheses require a mechanism for increasing the abundance of caterpillars, since nests are an ephemeral resource, and here, we determine whether caterpillars respond to chemosensory and thermal cues using a laboratory choice chamber approach.  Caterpillars show no significant preference for newly abandoned nest material over no other choice, old nest material, and the common mire moss Sanionia uncinata.  Caterpillars that are acclimated to warm (15°C) conditions do prefer lower (5°C) to higher (15°C) temperatures, perhaps reflecting negative effects of prolonged exposure to warm temperatures on growth.  Caterpillars also show significant avoidance of conspecifics, possibly because of incidental cannibalism previously reported in this species.  Thus, we find no empirical support for nest-finding ability in caterpillars based on chemosensory or thermal cues.  It is possible that adult females or very early instar caterpillars show such ability, or high caterpillar density and biomass in nests are an incidental consequence of better conditions in the nests or deposition by the birds during nest construction.”

Tips & Strategies

Ready for Writing!

What makes a good writer?

Excellent spelling and grammar? Engaging style? Creative story lines and compelling characters?

Good writers pay attention. They read a lot, they listen and most of all they practice. But good writing needs a strong foundation to build upon. Like reading, writing development begins in early childhood and our experiences during these first few years have a significant impact on our abilities as writers later in life. In Part 2 of our series on supporting early literacy development, the Access Learning Blog is sharing tips and strategies to help parents, educators, and caregivers support emerging writers.

We’ll begin by explaining what emerging writing looks like.

Early writing is messy. It looks like scribbles on a page (or worse, on your walls!) and although your child may know how to “read” what they put down, you won’t find any recognizable letters or numbers at first. Over time, emerging writers begin to recognize specific letters and numbers. By the age of three, most children begin to create recognizable shapes on paper, often starting with the first letter of their name or other significant letters. Reading and writing go hand-in-hand, so if your child enjoys regular reading sessions with a parent, sibling, grandparent, friend, or child care provider, chances are that they will start to mimic the shapes they see in the stories being read to them.

Click here for a helpful list of the emerging writing skills you may observe in your child or the children you care for.

Healthy writing development can be supported in so many ways! Some ideas include:

  • Pointing out letters and words in printed materials and in the world around you
  • Drawing or writing gently on your child’s hand or back
  • Writing letters or words in the air
  • Using Play Dough or other modelling materials to form letters
  • Providing your child with magnetic letters or building blocks printed with letters on them
  • Offering writing materials (paper, pencils, crayons, etc.) and making them accessible to your child
  • Demonstrating and encouraging the use of a pincer grasp
  • Allowing your child to observe you writing in different contexts and for different purposes (i.e. writing out a recipe, writing a letter, filling out paperwork)
  • Giving your child a blank notebook to fill with their own writing
  • Providing fun and interesting writing materials like colour-changing markers, glitter pens, scented markers, Boogie Boards, or paints and a paintbrush

While your child is young, engaging them in learning through play and exploration is a key strategy to promoting enthusiasm and interest in developing new skills. If you make reading and writing fun for your child, chances are they will want to keep doing it! Using the strategies listed here, or coming up with some of your own, you can support the early writers in your family or community.

Does your child need extra support with their literacy development? Would you like to better understand how to support them with reading and writing? Access Learning has experience tutors ready to work with your family to support literacy development from preschool and beyond! We specialize in using the Aardvark Language Program.

My treadmill doesn't agree with my Wii Fit Plus.
After walking about 25 minutes, the treadmill says I've burned 160 calories.  The Wii Fit Plus says it's been about 120 calories.

In either case, one can of soda or a candy bar or even a serving of my favorite spiced chai will erase every single minute I walked.
What a waste of time, right?

Makes me think twice before grabbing that treat.

Doug Jones’ Election Signals That Americans Want Health Care Progress

Kathy Melley, Community Catalyst Action Fund, (617) 791-0708

(BOSTON) – Statement from Robert Restuccia, executive director of the Community Catalyst Action Fund, regarding the election of Doug Jones (D-AL) to the U.S. Senate

 “Doug Jones’ victory in Alabama signals, without question, that Americans want health care progress, and they are willing to use their votes to elect candidates who share these values. As the people of Alabama elected the first Democrat to the Senate in nearly three decades, last night offered a harsh rebuke of the “repeal and replace” political rhetoric iterated repeatedly by the right for the last seven years. Jones ran a campaign rooted in support of policies that have a proven record of expanding access to health care, including the Affordable Care Act, DACA and guaranteed reproductive rights.

“Not only that, but the Republican National Committee was willing to set aside documented instances of Roy Moore’s racism, homophobia and xenophobia, as well as disturbing allegations of sexual misconduct involving minors so Republicans in Congress could continue to push their party-line legislative efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act and roll back Medicaid funding. Polls continue to show that health care is at the top of people’s concerns, and research continues to uncover the disparities that exist because of social determinants of health. The RNC showed pushing a partisan agenda was more important than the safety and dignity of marginalized people, and voters in Alabama answered. Last night offered a first-of-its-kind referendum on policies that harm our elected officials’ constituents, and proved that those of us fighting for progressive health care reform have momentum on our side.

“Lastly, thank you to the advocates in Alabama, especially communities of color, who made this victory possible by mobilizing unprecedented numbers of voters for this historic special election. We hope we can unite to build on that momentum and make our voices heard in our fight to defend health care for millions, including defeating the Republicans’ dangerous tax bill, which could come to a final vote in the next week.”

About the Community Catalyst Action Fund

The Community Catalyst Action Fund is a national non-profit organization committed to engaging consumers in the decision-making that shapes our health system. We support consumer advocate participation in the creation and implementation of public policy that improves the affordability and quality of health care, and we work to highlight electoral candidates’ positions on health care issues so the public can make informed choices.  Visit or follow us on Twitter @ccactionfund.

Does the State Owe You Money?

We’re entering the holiday season, and many people could use a little extra cash. You might be interested to know that California is sitting on unclaimed properties valued at over $9 billion. Please visit to see if any of that money belongs to you.

Why does California have so much unclaimed property? Under our Unclaimed Property Law, businesses like banks and insurance companies are required to transfer property to the Controller’s office if it goes unclaimed for a specified period of time, usually three years. Common types of unclaimed property are bank accounts, stocks, bonds, uncashed checks, insurance benefits, wages, and the contents of safe deposit boxes. Funds are held for as long as it takes to reunite the property with its rightful owner, which explains why the pot keeps growing.

Checking to see if you have unclaimed funds is easy. Once you access the website, simply type in your name and see if you’re listed. If it looks like you have some funds coming to you, you can file a claim immediately if the value is less than $5,000. Higher amounts require you to mail a form and takes longer to process. Also, please remember that there is no charge to retrieve your property from the State Controller – so watch out for scams that try to charge for this free service.

Just last February, 33,000 people received their unclaimed properties, valued at over $23 million. You could have been one of them. Don’t let the state keep funds that may legitimately belong to you – visit the Controller’s website today!

If you have any additional questions, feel free to contact the Controller’s Unclaimed Property Division at (800) 992-4647.

Introduction: The aim of this prospective audit was to assess the effectiveness and safety of rectal paraldehyde in the management of acute, including prolonged, tonic–clonic convulsions. There are very limited published data on its effectiveness and safety, and previous data have focused on its intramuscular route of administration.

Methods: Four hospitals participated in the study. Information was collected on each dose of paraldehyde used for the treatment of a tonic–clonic convulsion over 1 year. Data were not included on patients treated with rectal paraldehyde for other seizure types or non-convulsive status epilepticus.

Results: Data analysis was undertaken regarding 53 episodes in 30 patients. Patient’s ages ranged from 5 months to 16 years (mean 6.12 years, median 5.91 years). A pre-existing diagnosis of epilepsy was recorded in 35 episodes (66%). The mean dose of paraldehyde was 0.65 ml/kg (SD 0.22, 95% CI 0.59 to 0.71) and median dose 0.79 ml/kg. Rectal paraldehyde terminated the convulsion in 33 (62.3%) of the 53 episodes. In the 35 episodes where a pre-existing diagnosis of epilepsy was recorded, paraldehyde stopped the convulsion on 26 (74.3%) occasions. There was no difference in the dose of paraldehyde between the episodes where the convulsion was or was not terminated. There was no recorded respiratory depression in any episode.

Conclusions: This study provides unique evidence that rectal paraldehyde is effective and safe in treating acute prolonged tonic–clonic convulsions. This would appear to confirm that paraldehyde should remain a treatment for the management of prolonged tonic–clonic convulsions, including convulsive status epilepticus.

AdorStore Automatic Chicken Door

With so many thousands ADOR1 and ADOR2 automatic doors out there, we get calls to troubleshoot a problem sometimes, and many times the customer does not understand some of the subtle things or even more functional things.  We hope that this list of notes are helpful. You can call us or text us and we are glad to help, but here is a summary of some things you may want to know.

  1. All the electronics that control the ADOR is on one electronic board.
  • The electronic board has a computer chip that runs software and the software can be upgraded by the factory when new revisions become available.
  • The board must be screwed in place to function because there is a magnet detector on the board that "looks" through a hole behind it so it can see magnets in the sliding door panel. The magnets serve to limit the door travel so it will stop at the bottom and at the top.
  • The user programmable settings are stored in flash memory, so the settings are not "forgotten" by cycling power.  For every "set" there is a corresponding "reset".
  1. When the ADOR is powered up, it always starts by beeping out four short beeps, a pause, and two short beeps.  This is "HI" in Morse Code.  The ONLY time it should beep out "HI" is when it is powered-up or power is cycled.
  • Next, the ADOR will turn on the LED while it turns on the motor to close the door.  Then if it sees light, the ADOR will open the door.
  • The LED flickers about once per second while powering the motor.
  • The ADOR always starts out in Automatic Mode.
  1. The sliding panel should never stop partially the way down or partially the way up..  If it stops without reaching full open or full closed, the cause could be one of the following:
  • Someone stopped it with the pushbutton action.
  • An obstacle was in the way.  The ADOR cannot tell the difference between an obstacle, or high friction or some extraneous load on the motor, which appears to the electronics the same as a motor having internal failure.
  • The frame or sliding panel, or both, are warped.  This could be because it was bent in shipping, or was dropped during the installation process, or screwed down to a non-flat surface too tight.  Warp can be tested by loosening the four screws under the battery box that hold the motor assembly, scoot the motor away so it is not engaged in the sprocket holes and then get the sliding panel up on your finger and test that you can drop it from the top and catch it at the bottom.  It should drop loosely under gravity -- otherwise, if it is pinched then it is the frame or panel or both.
  • It is possible that the motor is starting to fail.  If it starts drawing too much current, the electronics will stop it and reverse direction and try again.  It will re-try twice.
  • A component, resistor R2, possibly was damaged on the board.  This would most likely have been caused by a motor that shorted out.  If you mail us your board we can replace R2.
  • The sprocket may not be turning on the motor shaft.
  • The setscrew may not be tightened down onto the flat part of the motor shaft, sufficiently.
  • The sprocket is made of two pieces clinched together.  Possibly the flat piece is spinning freely on the hub.
  1. There are two magnets in the right margin of the sliding panel, one near the top and one near the bottom.  When the door slides and one or the other magnet lines up behind the electronic board, the electronics can "see" the magnet.  This provides the function of limiting door travel at the top and bottom.  If the door continues to try to go beyond these limits, check if the magnets are in place.  If one has been lost, it probably is hiding somewhere very close by on the ADOR1... either sliding around on the panel, or hiding behind the box.  You can glue it back in place.  Make sure the electronic board is fastened in place -- it cannot see the magnets if it is not in good position where it is supposed to be.
  2. Remember that the ADOR's structure is all galvanized steel.  It won't rust and it should last forever for all practical definitions.  If there's a problem, it is most likely something that can be easily fixed.  If it is beyond the warranty, don't worry because you can purchase parts on the website
  3. The ADOR is designed very simply in order to make it simple to maintain.  Even if you have had your unit for 6 years and something is not working right, it may be as simple as replacing the motor and you should be back and running like new.  You should NEVER need to send back anything bigger/heavier than what goes in a bubble mailer.

Allianz and Afloat - Supporting Irish Boating

Ireland's sailing, boating & maritime magazine

In association with ISA Logo Irish Sailing

Displaying items by tag: John Ryan

#Powerboats - An Irish-based powerboat racing team is aiming for a full 11 offshore endurance and speed records over the next three years.

“It’s ambitious, but it’s do-able,” as Red Bull hears from John Ryan, team driver and throttle man with Allblack Racing and an Sailor of the Month in his own right for Team Hibernia’s record-smashing Round Ireland powerboat run.

The 11 challenges of the Union International Motonautique (UIM) offshore ocean endurance long distance and speed records represent a step beyond for Ryan and his team mates.

Allblack Racing will take to Irish waters again for the Cork-Fastnet loop and the Round Britain and Ireland challenge, as well as the Round Anglesey run in the Irish Sea and Menai Strait.

The team will also tackle various taxing European routes such as an Italian speed trial from Naples to Capri, a blast between the Channel Islands and the Isle of Wight, and a straight 60-hour run from London to Monte Carlo.

That’s not to mention the epic routes from London to St Petersburg and Miami to New York that will complete the list — all raced on the team’s Swedish-designed Allblack SL44 that's been specially adapted for extreme racing.

Allblack from Konjow Films on Vimeo.

What’s more, there’s an opportunity for additional passengers to join Ryan and his team mates Philip Fitzgibbon and Ant Middleton — if you can bring funding for the demands of each record, you could get trained up and listed as co-driver for the fourth seat on the boat.

Red Bull has much more on the story HERE.

Published in Powerboat Racing

With his splendid achievement on Sunday of chopping six hours off the established Round Ireland powerboat record time, John Ryan is acclaimed as May’s Powerboat “Sailor of the Month” with a breakthrough which could stand for quite some time.

Ryan and his crew of defending record holder Philip Fitzgibbon, together with Sean MacNamara and Denis Dillon, took full advantage of ideal conditions. The impressive black 40ft Team Hibernia recorded a clockwise circuit from Kinsale with a massive 33% reduction in the standing eighteen hour time. Admittedly Fitzgibbon’s 2009 time was achieved in a RIB of les than 30ft and he continues to hold the under-30ft record. But the John Ryan-led new record of 12 hours 54 minutes and 24 seconds is a very special time indeed, and well worthy of spreading the “Sailor of the Month” awards into an additional category.

A bid to break the 2009 Round Ireland powerboat record will be made this weekend. Venture Cup entrant John Ryan and his Team Hibernia crew will make an attempt at the record on Sunday. Starting in Kinsale on the South Coast, Ryan and his four man crew will need to be back in the Munster harbour within 19 hours if they are to break the seven–year–old record set in a time of 18 hours 38 minutes and 50 seconds.

Hibernia Racing's 100 mph –ALLBLACK SL44 entry is built for marathon racing and has a range of 500–miles, making it possible for the circumnavigation to be made with just one refuel stop. The sleek aluminium built craft was testing in Cork Harbour a month ago and was powering around Dublin Bay in the past fortnight as preparation for the now cancelled Venture Cup.

The 2009 record holder Philip Fitzgibbon will be part of this weekend's attempt and joins the four–man crew as navigator. Sean McNamara and Denis Dillon complete the line–up.

'We''re going clockwise from Kinsale. I'm keen to get the Atlantic out of the way first', Ryan told this afternoon.

Fitzgibbon and Mike Shanahan reclaimed their Round Ireland Powerboat Record powering over the Kinsale finish line to become the first team to set a sub 19–hour time for the circumavigation of Ireland in October 2009. The record was set in a 7.5 metre RIB powered by a 250hp engine.

#Missing - Gardaí have said they are satisfied that a body recovered from the River Boyne yesterday afternoon (Saturday 23 August) is that of missing Meath man John Ryan, as The Irish Times reports.

The remains of the 20-year-old – who had been missing from Mornington in Co Meath since last Tuesday – were removed from the Boyne by Drogheda River Rescue during a search, and are expected to be positively identified today.

#INLAND WATERWAYS - Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) officially launched the Lough O’Flynn and Upper Suck Angling Guide at the Old Stonehouse Restaurant in Ballinlough recently.

The guide opens to Lough O'Flynn, a 300-acre limestone lake situated 2km from Ballinlough and one of IFI’s many managed lakes requiring a permit.

This lake holds a stock of wild brown trout and is also stocked with brown trout each year which provides an excellent opportunity for all kinds of anglers and those wishing to take up the sport to learn how to fish for trout.

Meanwhile, the centrefold of the guide showcases the Upper Suck catchment from Lough O’Flynn through Co Roscommon and Galway until the Shiven tributary joins, along which good quality coarse, pike and trout angling can be expected.

With breathtaking scenery, this is the perfect place for anglers who can fish almost undisturbed from dawn till dusk.

There are also a considerable number of sections dedicated to anglers with disabilities, such as the Donamon angling stretch which has 30 fishing stands available with individual car parking bays and toilet facilities. This section has proven extremely popular, and IFI says it is committed to ensuring that sections like Donamon continue to open fishing up for everyone.

Amanda Mooney, director at IFI, said: “The guide offers a great source of information on angling hotspots for various types of species, access points and facilities, legislation and safety.

"All in all everything you need for planning a fishing trip. The guide and angling promotion in general supports local businesses and communities in sustaining jobs.”

The Lough O’Flynn and Upper Suck Angling Guide is available from IFI outlets and local permit agents in Ballinlough, Co Roscommon.

Inland Fisheries Ireland also marked the retirement of John Ryan, assistant inspector for Lough O’Flynn and the Suck catchment, after 41 years of service.

Ryan was involved in many areas and aspects of fisheries throughout his career, and was particularly noted for his positive engagement with various groups from angling clubs and development associations to local authorities, businesses and communities.

The Half Ton Class was created by the Offshore Racing Council for boats within the racing band not exceeding 22'-0". The ORC decided that the rule should "....permit the development of seaworthy offshore racing yachts...The Council will endeavour to protect the majority of the existing IOR fleet from rapid obsolescence caused by ....developments which produce increased performance without corresponding changes in ratings..."

When first introduced the IOR rule was perfectly adequate for rating boats in existence at that time. However yacht designers naturally examined the rule to seize upon any advantage they could find, the most noticeable of which has been a reduction in displacement and a return to fractional rigs.

After 1993, when the IOR Mk.III rule reached it termination due to lack of people building new boats, the rule was replaced by the CHS (Channel) Handicap system which in turn developed into the IRC system now used.

The IRC handicap system operates by a secret formula which tries to develop boats which are 'Cruising type' of relatively heavy boats with good internal accommodation. It tends to penalise boats with excessive stability or excessive sail area.

The most significant events for the Half Ton Class has been the annual Half Ton Cup which was sailed under the IOR rules until 1993. More recently this has been replaced with the Half Ton Classics Cup. The venue of the event moved from continent to continent with over-representation on French or British ports. In later years the event is held biennially. Initially, it was proposed to hold events in Ireland, Britain and France by rotation. However, it was the Belgians who took the ball and ran with it. The Class is now managed from Belgium.
