Hello everyone!
Today's weather will come straight from January's playbook as our weather pattern is driven by the Arctic cold front that passed through this weekend. Look for cold temps not getting above 20 in the north and 30 in the south, along with gusty NW winds to make things feel even colder than they actually are. Those NW winds will drive a classic upslope/downslope pattern for sky cover/precip chances today, with partly to mostly cloudy skies and occasional flurries in the mountains, and mostly sunny skies in the south along with dry conditions.

LowComDom Performances Presents
Film Reviews - Suck-O-Matic rating system
Go out and watch this movie right now! There aren't many of these. Usually there was something very special about the film, perhaps superior production values, or great character development. In any event, the movie was so good, it couldn't get the vacuum motor started.
Well, this movie isn't perfect. The vacuum motor got started, and the golf ball is being sucked into the hose. Usually movies like this are great, but there's just a little something that was annoying. Perhaps the movie could have been 20 minutes shorter to make it better, or the Chinese girl had green eyes. You know, little stuff. Fortunately, there are a lot of these films.
Damn we had high hopes for this film, but it sucks so bad the golf ball is forever jammed in the pipe. Looks like we're going to need a new Hoover. This film might be worth seeing if it has special appeal to you. Perhaps you like mud wrestling movies.
Who made this movie? Who did they sleep with to get it made? Our poor little golf ball is forever lost the in a full dust bag. If only I were lost in a theatre watching a good film!
Avoid this movie at all costs. You're wasting your money, time, and brain cells. Find something else to watch, like snow on your TV. These aren't the droids you're looking for.
Technically, this isn't a reviewed movie. It's a film we have decided not to risk our money on. Either the trailer sucked too much, or it's a star and/or director we can't stand, or perhaps it's another movie where someone thought taking a five-minute skit from Saturday Night Live might make a good 100-minute film. Not on our dime. Of course, if the studio would like to invite us to a screening...

WORD WAR GAME (Part 2): RISE UP AFRICA!
They told us!
They referred to us!
They stigmatized us!
That we were, and that we are still the third world nations.
Africa! Ponder over saddened history,
Ruminate over your lost cultural value systems,
Your traditional institutions were disrespected, used, exploited and dumped.
Africa! Ponder over your besmeared identity,
Motherland Africa, several decades after gaining independence,
You are still being tagged us as an under-achiever amongst your equals.
What about your uncertain future?
Think about the destiny of your unborn kids?
Tell me what will be left for them?
The time is now!
The time to rise up is now!
Amidst your backwardness,
Amidst your various crisis, amidst your glaring level of under-development,
Despite your high rate of poverty,
It is time to war against all these challenges.
Together, we will war against deficiency,
Together, we will fight against our economic crisis,
Prepare your Arsenal, we are going to war against under-development.
Motherland Africa,
Let me provoke you to war!
You need to hear this,
After several decades of gaining independence,
You have not gained common food independence,
You still depend on your takers for daily sustenance,
Oh No!
Prepare your Arsenal, prepare, prepare, prepare!
We must fight against hunger in our land.
But before we go into war,
Here is another eye opener for you,
My dear partner in this ideological war of liberty,
Let us do a comparative analysis here,
Remember the Asian Tigers (Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan) were not endowed with natural and mineral resources as most African Nations, but guess what? Guess what?
These nations rose up to the task of fighting against their economic challenges by jointly blazing a trail for a sustainable economic growth tailored towards their full industrialization few decades after gaining independence.
The economic development experience of these Asian Tigers is what I call; "from Independence to Industrialization".
These nations maximized their comparative advantages in order to become the economic giant of East Asia.
Remember the Taiwan Miracle!
Taiwan is now a fully industrialized nation after scaling through distinct stages of economic growth.
Oh Motherland Africa,
Remember the South Korean History!
She is now the major player in the field of electronics production, mover and shaker in the sector of Information and Communication Technology, Automobile productions and other allied services.
That is her comparative advantage!
East Africa, West Africa, North Africa, South Africa and Central Africa, tell me now! What are your comparative advantages?
Here is another strategy to fight this war! African nations, Arise! It is time to maximize our distinct comparative advantages to for the advancement of our Motherland Africa.
Oh! Motherland Africa!
Remember the City State of Hong Kong!
She is now the Asian Giant in offering trade and financial services.
That is her comparative advantage.
Oh ye African Nations, what are you waiting for?
It is time to fight against our economic challenges.
But wait, wait, wait!!!
Before we go into this developmental war, let us consider the City State of Singapore.
In case you don't know,
Singapore moved to the final phase of development by the fulfillment of Stamford Raffle's original vision for Singapore as the trade and financial hub of South-East Asia.
Hmmm! Just one man! hmmm! Just one man's vision made a whole nation to experience a paradigm shift from being an under-developed one to a fully advanced nation.
Just one man!
Most African Nations need only just one man, I mean just one visionary leader to take the people to the aspired destination. Just one man to lead the war against under-development in our land.
Can you feel my pain? Can you feel the present state of my emotional destabilization?
Just one leader!
Just a visionary leader's ideology,
Just one futuristic leader's economic development policy sustainably developed Singapore for decades.
So! why not Africa?
We must go into war right now!
We are about to fight against our numerous challenges,
Prepare your Arsenal,
But before we go into war, let me provoke you; let me provoke you to war.
Permit me to remind you the story of some of the tiger cubs, that is, Malaysia and Thailand.
Few decades ago,
They were also called names,
I mean, they were referred to as under-developed nations,
But they went into battle,
They fought, they fought, and they fought.
They fought against their shames, they fought against their poverty, they strived against their wailing under-development by discovering, by exploring, by exploiting and by maximizing their comparative advantages in Agricultural practices. Thailand focused on large scale production of rice as a competitive agro-export product, while Malaysia focused on the massive production of palm oil as an agro-export product.
Africa! Africa! Africa, to strategically fight the war against hunger in our land, we shall be replicating some of the tested solutions that stimulated the economic success of the Tiger cubs in our land. That is, Agricultural Revolution!
Here is another call of duty!
African Union! Arise!
You need to also join us in this battle.
Let us jointly save the black nations from the edge of collapse,
We must war against racism and ethnical discrimination in our land.
We say NO to Xenophobia!
Brothers don't kill brothers!
Brothers don't leave brothers!
Africa Nations, we are blood, we are one!
Let us embrace peace, love and unity for the advancement of our continent. The African diversity should be a blessing and not a drawback.
Therefore, Africa Union! Arise!
Rise up to the task of instrumentalizing, implementing and enforcing an effective alien policy in Africa.
In a simpler term;
If a group of dwellers migrate from the North Africa to the South or from the East to the West Africa, what shall be their inalienable social, political and economic rights and benefits? For how long will such stigmatized aliens dwell in the foreign land to be entitled to their inalienable rights accorded with due socio-political benefits?
The reformed African Alien Policy must be clearly defined, constitutionalized and enforced if the African nations will productively work together in actualizing a self-reliant economy for an improved standard of living.
Africa nations shall no longer be termed as under achievers in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, only if the people can peacefully coexist together while at the same time maximizing their diverse comparative advantages for a sustainable development.
African Leaders, African Youths, Captains of Industries, Stakeholders, Private Investors and Foreign Direct Investors, you all need to prepare your Arsenal right away to engage in this developmental war against Africa's under-development.
We must jointly war against the wailing under development in our lands, we must war against skin discrimination, it is time to war against hate speeches, we must fight against xenophobia, this is the pathway to develop the African economy and to actualize the goals of "The Africa We Want". In reference to my maxim of national development; "if peace exists, all-round development is certain".
Prepare! Prepare! Prepare your Arsenal.
We are ready to go to war now!
But before we go, let me remind you of the great exploits of our Founding Fathers; the Nationalists and the Pan-Africanists, I mean our trailblazers that selflessly fought for the sake of humanity.
Oh! I am so delighted in the developmental philosophy of Sankaraism; I mean the economic and national development policy of Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso.
The likes of Nelson Mandela of South Africa,
Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana,
The likes of the Nigerian Nationalists and other reputable African Leaders.
Just one man is needed,
Just one Revolutionalist,
Just one Transformationist,
Just one visionary leader is needed to fight the war against under-development and take the people to the aspired greener pasture.
"The examples of the Asian Tigers show us an alternative path to development; a strong central government guiding the economy forward through several distinct stages of development until it reaches full industrialization".
Motherland Africa!
Prepare your Arsenal, we are going to war, we must war against under-development problems in our land.
The task is hanging on us like a sword of Damocles.
They gave us independence several decades ago, but we are still having some iota of neo-colonialism in our land.
We still import petty and cheap consumable products like biro from France, Rice from Thailand and most annoyingly importing the likes of toothpicks from China.
Oh No! How did we get to this point?
A sober reflection of the past,
A deeper thought about the present,
And a foresight into the future.
We are on the way to the battlefield; here is another ideological strategy to engage in this developmental war – The 4 cardinal targets;
- Agricultural revolution in Africa
- Democratization of Education in Africa
- Modern Manufacturing Technology in Africa
- Internet/Digital Revolution in Africa
The goals of these 4 cardinal targets will be actualized by adopting the former United State's President Barrack Obama's Techno-economic development policy – Advanced Manufacturing Partnership Programme. The special type of partnership between prominent research-oriented academic institutions ready to embark on productive research works with established firms ready to foster the phenomenon of technology transfer. The products of the research works by these educationists will be accorded with due capital mobilization scheme by these well-established industries for the purpose of converting the physical model of the research works into marketable and exportable products.
We need to act now!
Africa Arise!
Take your place!
Oh motherland Africa!
You were born!
Born to reign!
Born to win!
So rule your world!
You were made!
Made to reign!
Made to win!
So rule your world!
Arise! North Africa!
Arise! South Africa!
Arise! East Africa!
Arise! West Africa!
Central Africa! It is time to rise up!
God bless Motherland Africa.
Thank you for listening.

Email advertising hands free operation is a sort of advertising and marketing automation. Depending upon how you've put together your initiative, a certain e-mail is delivered to your client depending upon the activity they have actually taken.
Conditions, actions, and events are the building blocks responsible for ConvertKit patterns.
If this seems like it might be complicated to establish, software like ConvertKit helps streamline the process for you with its easy user interface.
For most marketers using ConvertKit to manage their email campaigns, automation and tagging are the sellout features. Automation makes it easy to manage subscribers based on events while tags help to segment contacts.
For example, you can tag subscribers automatically if they click certain links in an email. This, in turn, triggers a course of action such as enrollment in a Webinar, subscription to a course, and so forth.
A big plus of ConvertKit: Move seamlessly between building your email automation sequence and working on the individual email content.
You might have heard about sales funnels if you're looking into marketing your small business. A sales funnel is the path your customer takes to purchasing from your business. It usually starts with awareness of your brand, moves onto interest and decision. The end goal is a sale or conversion.
An email marketing funnel will include sending your potential customer helpful content linked to your service or product. By setting up rules, you tell ConvertKit which emails to send (and when).
To keep it simple, ConvertKit visualizes the process so you can immediately see your funnel and all you have to do is add the content.
If you've never built a funnel before you'll be able to craft a compelling email campaign, this approach means even. ConvertKit also has a free email course to get you started.
The landing page creator is a great addition that ConvertKit offers to help website owners who have little to no design skills. Using the visual editor, there's no need to write code for your landing page. You can change colors, upload images, and alter text with just a few clicks.
There are only three landing page layouts to choose from, ConvertKit offers full access to CSS for those with somec coding ability who wish to create a unique landing page design.
ConvertKit landing pages are also integrated with a large collection of textures and patterns from SubtlePatterns.com. You can be sure of finding a landing page style that matches your brand or website theme.
ConvertKit is quite flexible when it comes to hosting landing pages. You have the freedom of hosting landing pages on ConvertKit servers or move it to your own domain using a WordPress plug-in.
Adding a lead magnet to your landing page is a great way to get customers to sign up for your subscriber list. A lead magnet is a resource you use to attract potential customers: leads.
Lead magnets can take many forms. Examples include:.
E-books (e.g. how-tos that are valuable to the reader).
Industry white papers.
Research reports.
Cheat sheets.
Gated videos (videos a viewer can only access if they give you their contact information).
In exchange for your free resource, your customer shares their email address.
ConvertKit comes with support to add lead magnets to their forms.
Here are a few ways you could use ConvertKit to achieve your business objectives.
Engage at the outset.
Automated welcome series based on users' interests. Automatically identify and retarget those who don't open emails.
Deepen the connection.
Use lead magnets to send recipients a content series that is relevant and valuable .
Develop funnels and monetized content like email courses.
An email marketing campaign would not be complete without signup forms. ConvertKit comes with a form builder as expected from any typical email marketing application. Using this tool, you can create multiple attractive opt-in forms and place them anywhere on your website.
Though basic in function, the form builder does its job well.
Once you're done uploading the file, you'll receive a message confirming that your contacts have been successfully imported.
The subscriber page marks contacts as confirmed, unconfirmed, canceled, or complained to describe their status on the list.
Subscribers can be tagged and segmented if you want to send targeted messages to a specific group– for example, you could create an email series to target individuals who attended a particular webinar you held, or an in-person conference you exhibited at.
As mentioned earlier, ConvertKit offers email creation features that allow you to send a course of messages automatically. You can create multiple email messages, save them as drafts and schedule when to send.
Email course scheduling can be great when sending content that is relevant to specific subscribers. Sometimes you'll need to send one email blast to everyone on your list.
To accomplish that, ConvertKit offers a broadcast function. A broadcast email is when a single email is sent to multiple people at the same time. This feature is great for announcing special offers, product launches, or time-sensitive discounts or news.
Currently, customers have no access to live chat and phone support. However, you can always get in touch with a customer support agent via email.
While this might not sound too assuring, one unique aspect about contacting ConvertKit is that when you submit a question or complaint, they personally look into your account.
The assigned support agent will make recommendations to help you improve your results or enjoy a better experience if something is lacking.
In addition to email support, ConvertKit hosts workshops, offers training materials, and provide plenty of online help documentation. The knowledge-base categorizes help articles according to topics, thus making navigation easy. You can use key phrases to search for help articles.
ConvertKit offers analytics tools for easy campaign tracking. You can track email opens, bounces, visitors, subscribers, and conversion rates for each campaign separately. The program also tracks website statistics for different forms to help you know which signup tactics are providing the best results.
For instance, you can examine conversion rates as well as the number of subscribers that joined your email list via the pop-up modal or the ones who signed up for incentives using the sidebar form.
ConvertKit creates email courses easily.
The landing page and form creators feature intuitive interfaces.
Email scheduling and automation features save time.
Subscriber tagging facilitates list segmentation.
Migrating to ConvertKit is simple since you can import contacts via a CSV file.
Built-in reporting tools track campaign metrics easily.
ConvertKit offers the ability to create multiple sign up forms for different pages and track their conversion rates individually.
Currently, no free trial is available but new subscribers are protected by a 30-day refund policy.
No phone or live chat support is provided.
Limited third-party integrations compared to other email marketing platforms.
ConvertKit is a relatively new product and although it doesn't have all the bells and whistles that other more prominent email service providers offer, it still gives professional bloggers and business owners everything they need to manage an email campaign.
Additionally, features such as automation, tagging, and sending out a sequence of course emails add great usability to this platform.
Overall, ConvertKit is heading in the right direction and if this is what the early version has to offer, it will be exciting to see what new innovations future upgrades will provide early adopters with.
Easy Digital Downloads.
and many others.
And because they integrate with Zapier, that means there are lots of other combinations that you can use even if there isn't a directly integration.
I can't possible consider all the questions that you might ask before deciding to buy Convert Kit; however, here's a few questions that I might anticipate.
How good is the customer support?
The customer support is really good. They offer a live chat option that I've used. You can email them and they usually get back in a pretty timely manner if they are not available via live chat. I haven't had any big issues with the support.
Will they help me migrate from my old provider?
Yes, they will move all of your subscribers for you, but they will also create all the forms you place and need on your website (as needed) to make sure your transition over is really smooth. They will also move any campaigns that you had on your old provider so that you don't manually have to recreate them.
How does the price compare to other email tools?
The pricing is pretty comparable. There are hundreds of options out there, so some may be cheaper, but there are definitely much more expensive options.
How many lead magnets can I deliver and create through ConvertKit?
You can create unlimited number of lead magnets or downloads that ConvertKit will deliver seamlessly to your customers. If you want, the way they have everything set up makes it really easy to have dozens (or more) of freebies that lead to the exact same list. This makes it really convenient to do special content upgrades, etc
. Does ConvertKit have options for double or single opt-in?
Yes, when you create your opt-in forms you have the option to require that the subscriber get a verification email first before they are added to your list. Single opt-in is likely to lead to more overall subscribers, but double opt-in is likely to lead to more verified subscribers.
Is ConvertKit worth the cost?
I've been using email automation tools since about 2006, and I'm a happy customer of ConvertKit. I think the cost of an email marketing tool is a necessary expense for an online business, and ConvertKit is a great option at a fair price.
At the end of the day, ConvertKit is a great email and marketing automation tool that has all the features that a serious blogger and business owner would need to help automate their business.
With an unlimited amount of campaigns and lead forms that you can create and an easy to use interface, you can spend more time growing your business than worrying about how to make your email provider "work".
The best part is that you can start a 14 day free trial (with no credit card required) so you can check out what ConvertKit looks like on the inside.

I use this email marketing software on a daily basis right now, but I've also used other email tools over the years, so I have a point of reference to compare. Overall, ConvertKit is a great email marketing tool. These emails might consist of a series of related tutorials (forming an email course) or they might information on your various services along popular blog posts and customer testimonials.
A broadcast email is when a single email is sent to multiple people at the same time. In addition to email support, ConvertKit hosts workshops, offers training materials, and provide plenty of online help documentation.

Eze tips Kwara United for NNL Super 4 glory
Kwara United goalkeeper, Chidiebere Eze has tipped his club to emerge as the overall champions of the 2016-17 Nigeria National League during the Super Four billed for Lagos.
Eze, who is not strange to the second division Super Four having won it with FC IfeanyiUbah three seasons ago in Ilorin has assured the Harmony Warriors' fans they will not disappoint when the tournament commences from January 7 to 9 at the Agege Stadium.
"We are heading to Lagos to become the overall winners of the National League and I don't think Yobe Desert Stars, Heartland and Go Round can stand in our way. We have trained very hard for this and for our campaign in the Nigeria Professional Football League which starts from January 14," Eze told Goal.
"We have been in Oba near Onitsha perfecting our tactics and by the time we depart for Lagos on Friday, we will be going with high hope knowing that we have the players and the right blend of coaches to get the job done.
"I am not new to this type of tournament having represented FC Ifeanyiubah some years back when we lifted the Super Four in Ilorin and went ahead to surprise everyone in the NPFL the following season."
The former Anambra Warriors' goaltender is, however, relishing his return to the top-flight after spending two seasons in the lower league with Kwara United, and he has vowed to make it count this term.
"I have tasted what it was like playing in the premier league with FC IfeanyiUbah and having staged a dramatic return I want to prove to all that I am still the same goalkeeper that hit the league by storm," he concluded.

The select committee will today begin its consideration of the Local Government Bill, 2000. It is an extensive Bill, with 241 sections and 14 Schedules. A substantial number of amendments have been tabled, which reflects the importance of the Bill to local government. The Bill is one element of a broad programme of measures for the renewal of local government, some of which have been completed while others are in train. I hope the committee will conduct its business efficiently and make a positive contribution to the Bill.
In the spirit of co-operation within the committee, I welcome Deputies, including the Minister of State, Deputy Molloy, and on behalf of the committee extend best wishes for a speedy recovery to the Minister for the Environment and Local Government and hope it will not be too long before he returns to the House. I also welcome the officials from the Department accompanying the Minister of State, Mr. Kevin Curran and Ms Patricia Curran. I remind members that, as agreed, we will meet to consider the Bill over four days this week, although I hope we can reach a conclusion on Thursday.
Today we will sit until 8.30 p.m. with a break from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Tomorrow we will commence business at 10 a.m. and consider the Bill until 10 p.m. We will break from 1 p.m. to 2.30 p.m. We will review the progress late on Wednesday evening and we will meet again on Thursday morning at 10 a.m. and continue our consideration of the Bill. We will break from 1 p.m. until 2.30 p.m. I hope to conclude business at some stage on Thursday so we can report to the House accordingly. With the committee's co-operation, I am confident the target we have set for consideration of this important legislation can be met.

The public policy spotlight is focused on science and engineering programs at Florida's universities, particularly the public universities. The state's leaders want the universities to graduate more workforce-ready scientists and engineers, and have even proposed a tuition scheme that would provide students an incentive to select majors in these fields (although this scheme is proving to be remarkably unpopular with university faculty and the public at large).
There are things that the universities can do to graduate more scientists and engineers, and nearly all of them fall in the category of "retention" – that is, helping more students who arrive at a university intending to major in science and engineering to successfully navigate the rigorous courses of study associated with these fields. Courses can be revamped with more effective research-based pedagogies. Social support structures like FSU's Women in Math, Science and Engineering Living-Learning Community can be offered to help students who are members of groups underrepresented in these fields. Undergraduates can be encouraged to join the university's research groups and take on major research projects.
But students who arrive at a university uninterested in and unprepared for science and engineering careers are almost never going to climb into the science and engineering pipeline. Therefore, Florida's universities will not show any significant increase in the number of graduates in the most economically viable science and engineering fields unless the state's K-12 schools do a better job of preparing and motivating students in these fields. And at present that is not among the priorities of the K-12 schools.
The symptoms of the K-12's systems shortcomings in its science and engineering pipeline are so numerous that a single listing would be difficult to read and depressing to write. They are listed throughout the more than 1,100 posts on this blog.
But here are a few action items for the new year. There are just a few in part because the state's educational bureaucracy has proven so resistant to input on science education that it makes no sense from a mental health point of view to be any more ambitious:
Push for Florida adoption of the national Next Generation Science Standards: Adoption of the NGSS would at least leave the door to improved K-12 science education cracked open in Florida. One more public draft of the standards will be released in January, and then states will have the opportunity to adopt them in the spring. Florida, a leader in the Common Core movement in math and English language arts, declined to be a "lead state partner" in the development of the NGSS, while 26 other states said "yes" to the opportunity. Furthermore, the FDOE used thousands of hours of effort by educators and scientists to patch the state's woeful existing standards, leading any objective observer to conclude that the present plan is to pass on the NGSS and stay with the state's standards. A national science education leader told me recently that Florida is considered to be one of the most difficult states when it comes to improving K-12 science. Adoption of the NGSS would be the first step in reversing that perception.
Educate policy-makers on the limitations of the present generation of virtual science courses: Someday there may be effective virtual science courses, but that day hasn't yet come. Even officials from the Florida Virtual School say so. For now, we are "stuck" with the "old paradigm" of an effective science classroom being made by the physical presence of an effective science teacher. And while we desperately need more of those, solving the problem will require relatively expensive and politically difficult steps like differential pay. No wonder virtual science seems like a panacea. I'll note for the record that the American Physical Society, the guild of physicists, is holding a workshop on virtual physics courses next year. So we are not hiding from the virtual science issue, but instead are trying to lead. But virtual science is not yet ready for prime time. [Update, Wednesday, December 26: This morning's Tampa Bay Times includes an op-ed advocating for – among other things – a federal program to support high school MOOC's. The authors are either not thinking about science in their proposal or (worse) are and just know nothing about the teaching and learning of science.]
Build grass-roots support for the science and engineering pipeline by recruiting middle school students and their parents: Hence the Future Physicists of Florida. See the Tallahassee Democrat feature story here, their editorial here, my op-ed here, and the piece from the blog redefinED here.
In Florida, the science and engineering pipeline leaks everywhere. Perhaps in 2013 we can start thinking seriously about how to plug a few of the leaks.
For some more information on Florida's S&E pipeline, take a look at the Florida "Vital Signs" report from the national advocacy group Change the Equation.

Did you know that during a colon cleanse, large amounts of water are flushed through the colon? According to Mayo Clinic, sometimes up to 16 gallons!
Before I go into the benefits of cleansing your colon and trying out a salt water flush, let me update you on my fast.
I've made a salad for my boyfriend, but he ended up staying at work later to chat with some coworkers. Unfortunately, that left me alone in the apartment with a delicious looking salad.
I kept myself busy by watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch episodes off youtube. There, I said it. Now you know where part of my witchy inspiration comes from.
Okay, let's get right into the content…
If there was ever a point in time where you were not eliminating properly and regularly then there is a high probability that you've got junk in your colon's trunk.
If you aren't moving your bowels daily, preferably two or three times daily, depending on how many meals you eat, then you aren't regular.
Of course you can solve this by eating more green leafy veggies, and starting with green smoothies will make that happen.
But you need to remember that all those days where you weren't eliminating add up. Where does all that waste matter go? Well it can become dry caked-on fecal matter that just hangs out in your colon and causes you to gain weight and get sick. Lovely, huh?
That's where colon cleansing comes in. There are a couple of colon cleansing options.
You can do home enemas. You can hire a hydrocolon therapist and have a colonic. Or, today's suggestion is to try a salt water flush.
Here's the key, you need to do this first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. This is perfect while you're fasting.
Here is the recipe:
This technique is an ancient Yogic cleansing method. I've also seen Chinese people do this in the morning, during my trip to China.
Do not perform this cleanse for more than 7 days in a row. Then give yourself weeks or months between the next flush you perform. You do not want to cause an imbalance in your body, and you don't want to become dependent on the flush to evacuate your bowels.
Another method you could give a shot is Dr Tobias Colon Quick Cleanse – I've been using that last few weeks and it works just perfect.
It would also help you detoxify your body, so give it a try!
Or you can try some of the best detox teas: EveryDay Detox Tea or Yogi Detox Tea won't just cleanse your colon but also give you a bunch of other benefits.
The salt water's saliency is the same as the body's saliency. So none of the water gets absorbed into the body, and it just passes right through you and out through your colon.
It is recommended to wait about 30 minutes after you've drank the salt water before going to the bathroom.
You'll start to feel your bowel moving as the salt water moves through you. You might even hear some gurgling sounds.
When you do go to the bathroom, the feeling might be reminiscent of diarrhea. Though those of you who have experienced a colonic will know it just feels like evacuating water through the colon.
You might need to go to the bathroom more than once, so only do this flush if you'll have access to a bathroom nearby.
Yesterday I tried the salt water flush for the first time, and today I did it again. I prepared my salt water and drank it first thing in the morning.
Then I made my first batch of lemonade, and got ready for my day. By the time I was done showering, it was time to evacuate the salt water.
It definitely felt good, kind of like I felt after I had a colonic. I went to the bathroom three times, and each time the matter got more solid and less watery. I gave myself gentle tummy massages that seemed to help, so give that a try too.
Hopefully this whole post hasn't been too graphic with all of this "potty talk".
Thanks for reading! I hope I've opened your mind to the concept of colon cleansing. Remember that there are many different ways of cleansing your colon.
You can ensure you don't need to cleanse as often by starting with a healthy high raw diet diet full of fiber.

- be more aware when using French of the social meanings that can be attached to speech.
This module deals with: (a) the making of Modern French, and its coexistence with non-standard social and situational variants within metropolitan France; (b) the nature and status of French in multilingual societies outside metropolitan France. It aims to provide the following: - Factual knowledge concerning: (a) the emergence and dissemination of standard French; (b) the status of French and its relationship to other languages in different francophone territories; (c) certain features of different varieties of French; - Improvement of understanding of basic linguistic and sociolinguistic concepts, by means of examples from the French-speaking world. This involves consideration of the following: language change and history, regional variation, language contact, diglossia, bilingualism, the relationship between linguistic and non-linguistic divisions in multilingual societies. An awareness of the pervasiveness of variation in language use, and a realisation that "French" could be regarded as several languages rather than just one.

As You Wish Talk Radio with James Gilliland
Guest, Alec Newald
Guest Name, Alec Newald
One Monday in mid-February 1989, Alec Newald set off on what should
have been a three hour drive from Rotorua to Auckland, in New Zealand.
He arrived in Auckland feeling tired and confused, but was even more
confused to learn that Monday was now Thursday ten days later, and that
he had no idea of what had happened in the meantime!
When Alec did retrieve his memories of those missing ten days, he
realized his life had changed forever. Early on in that fateful trip, while
driving through a foggy mountain pass, Alec was whisked from the road by
beings from an extraterrestrial civilization. The most unusual thing was not
only was Alec taken, his car was taken as well. And it was his attempts to
find out what was "wrong" with his car" that assisted him in remembering
and at the same time put him on the radar of Government Intelligence
What he learned and experienced during his stay with these friendly
beings has profound implications for all of us here on earth.
Soon after his "return", Alec received strange visits from "government
scientists" wanting to know about his experience.
Among other things, they were keen to learn what he had noticed about
the capabilities of this alien race. Alec was uncooperative and soon found
himself in "hot water" and in fact
It was obvious that these "scientists" knew all about Alec's abductors' and
expected they would return to Earth one day - soon.
The interrogations that took place behind closed doors while Alec was
locked away from the public eye have never be disclosed in any of the
Coevolution story thus far and edition No 3 will tell that story and it only
opens up a bigger can of worms as far as Artificial Intelligence is
This is small extract from a 32page document that recounts two days of heavy
interrogation while held at her majesties' pleasure.
….He did draw another item from the case. "Your turn" he said, handing
me another small item, this time a cube similar to the pyrite crystals I had
been given aboard the alien craft. At first I thought it was one of them, I'd
had one stolen a few years before. But on closer inspection it was more
highly polished and less natural looking than my own. "See what you can
do with that" House suggested.
As soon as I took it from his hand it lit up as if I'd tuned it on! "Ah, now we
are getting somewhere." He said, "Up til now we had not managed to get
anything out of it, and in case you are wondering, yes it's the real deal,
that was not manufactured here."
The cube was studded with what looked like small dots, but once it was
switched on the dots appeared to project images, I could describe them as
letters but actually they were more like hieroglyphics or symbols.
"Oh, that's interesting, House commented. "I've seen those symbols
before, we worked out is some sort of periodic table. I don't' suppose
you….." He tapered off as the cube started to hover above my hand and
started to spin. It spun so fast it became invisible -the only things left were
the symbols. "Quick, write those down." Cried our House, only to realize
he and I were the only ones in the room.

Hiking for fitness can sometimes seem like a strenuous sport, but the benefits certainly outweigh the drawbacks when it comes to fitness levels and uphill battles. When you reach the top of a mountain or get access to unrivalled views, hiking suddenly becomes less of a sport and more of a must-do travel experience.
When in LA, be sure to put hikes on the top of your list for must-do's. There are a couple of options, and all offer their unique views of the city and are considered moderate when it comes to fitness levels.
BEST FOR: This is by far the best way to get views of the Hollywood sign. The hike takes you up and behind the sign, with incredible views of LA too.
FITNESS LEVEL: This hike requires moderate fitness levels as there are quite a few steep hills. Children would enjoy this hike as long as they have plenty of water and sun protection.
HOW TO GET THERE: The trailhead entrance is located at 3000 N Beachwood Dr, Los Angeles, CA, 90068, USA. As the trailhead starts up quite steep, it is highly recommended to drive to the start of the trail (don't bother trying to walk or riding a bike, you'll be tired before you even start)! Ubers are very cheap in LA so it's also an easy way to get there (as parking can sometimes be limited). The hike is free and open 365 days of the year from sunrise to sunset.
WHAT TO BRING: Make sure you bring plenty of water as it gets very hot and dry on the trail. The hike is relatively short (a couple of hours round trip) so you won't need food (unless you're taking children).
WHAT TO WEAR: Enclosed shoes are highly recommended, as are covered clothing to ensure you don't get sunburnt.
BEST FOR: Unrivalled views across LA city and beyond.
FITNESS LEVEL: Moderate fitness levels are required for the majority of the trail, with the top end of the trail requiring a higher level of fitness due to the length and winding hills.
HOW TO GET THERE: Drive to the top of Fuller Ave in Hollywood, CA, 90046, USA. Parking can be limited on this street, however plenty of parking can be found further down the street with a small walk to the entrance.
WHAT TO BRING: Water is always a must for any hike and if you're planning on hiking to the top it's a good idea to bring some snacks too.
WHAT TO WEAR: Ensure you wear protective clothing, take plenty of sunscreen and enclosed shoes are imperative.

I am of Ireland
James Joyce Centre
A poet never speaks directly, says WB Yeats, "as to someone at the breakfast table, there is always a phantasmagoria". That he tells us this directly, as to the audience for a biodrama, thickens the irony of Edward Callan's project, one that assembles its text from the tumult of poetry, letters and public utterances to reveal something of the man, only to find he is already deeply familiar.
Callan is alive to a certain tension in turning the poet into a performer, so much so that late in the play he archly includes Yeats's sniffy words for actors who deliver the lilt of his verses with the banal thud of bad prose. With his character thus attempting to sabotage his performance, this makes Bosco Hogan all the more admirable. Not only does he present a recognisably precious figure in a neat tweed suit beneath a curtain of hair, he also lends Yeats a warmth the poet never seemed to radiate and a steady baritone voice to match the regal stride of the poems. (Yeats's actual voice, tremulous and affected, wasn't one you hope to hear over the breakfast table.)
How can we know the dancer from the dance, Yeats asked, and so Callan rarely distinguishes between the poetry and the poet. Narrating to us from the restored tower of Thoor Ballylee, his Yeats slips easily from remembrance of Maud Gonne, for example, into unforced recitals of He Wishes for the Cloths of Heavenand No Second Troy, as though he thought in verse.
There's some justification for this. Perhaps more than any other 20th-century writer, Yeats is so present in his work – his romantic yearnings, his politics, his narcissism, his sorrow, his rage – that the poems are as revealing as a secret diary. Yet Callan's scrupulous and concise biography only seems truly revelatory when it strays into the crannies of anecdote. As intimate as the details are of Yeats's bewildering dalliances with fascism, the occult, or several young women, nothing makes him more vivid than his celebration of the Nobel Prize win, cooking sausages after midnight, the only appetite he left undocumented.
Yeats found his theme in the matter of Ireland and Callan and Hogan elegantly render him as a forger of the nation. Marking the 70th anniversary of Yeats's death, however, their revival aches with reverence, unable to probe further, unwilling to criticise. (Colm Tóibín's Beauty in a Broken Place, in contrast, dared to put words into Yeats's mouth, making him more human than national emblem). The result is that while Yeats stands before us, he seems no closer. His presence is already so familiar, not because he is of Ireland, but because Ireland is of him. Until Saturday
The Script
Olympia Theatre, Dublin
When the Choice Music Prize shortlist was announced this year there was huffing and puffing when three Dublin lads who make commercial pop made the cut. Like or loathe The Script, you won't have escaped hearing their earworm singles on the radio. Last August the trio released their debut album and in one year notched up a profile most bands could only achieve by a Robert Johnson-style pact with the Devil. They've had huge success in the US – songs used in TV shows, gigs on the chat-show circuit, opening for Paul McCartney – so this gig was something of a homecoming. And what a homecoming – when they finally bounced out on to the stage, the crowd volume was ear-splitting. By the time their single Breakevenappeared early on, the band was drowned out by an ecstatic crowd singing along. Danny O'Donoghue, a gleaming facsimile of Cristiano Ronaldo, introduced We Cryas "a song about our beautiful city of Dublin".
Every high note was greeted with fresh shrieking from smitten women and the atmosphere felt decidedly X-Factor. But then The Script rose from the ashes of the boyband Mytown, and it's clear from their safe, marketable sound that they're destined for success of Take That proportions.
Guitarist Mark Sheehan told us that Fall for Anythingis a song "about slappers" and responded with a riff when the crowd chanted "olé, olé". The Man Who Couldn't Be Movedand I'm Yoursgot the biggest cheers of the night and little more than an hour later it was all over. Sadly, not before a butchered cover of David Bowie's Heroesduring the band's two-song encore.
It's not every band who can fill Dublin's Olympia Theatre, let alone sell out five nights. And who can argue with the fact that their 10-date Irish tour sold out in a morning? To most, this is slick, chart-friendly pop and the band deserve their success. To this reviewer's ears the music can't shake off its blandness – but try telling that to the waiting teenage girls outside and the row of anxious dads all double-parked on Dame Street.
Ensemble ICC
NCH Kevin Barry Room
The NCH's Kevin Barry Room, a former lecture theatre, has been hosting fringe activities; the space is small and informal, and the emphasis is on experimental music. The Irish Composers Collective (ICC), whose website boasts a membership of just under 50, presented a programme of works for harpsichord (Michael Quinn) and double bass (Daniel Bodwell), with extra contributions by Seán Clancy on harmonica and Enda Collins on horn.
There were eight works, most feeling short but not particularly pithy. There were problems with the harpsichord, which, although tuned a number of times during the concert, didn't hold its tuning at all well.
The opening chordal section of Dylan Curran's Obloquy, for example, would surely have sounded different on a sweetly tuned instrument, although the sourness was altogether less of an issue in the Punch and Judy style conflicts of Emma Brennan's Ode to the Marionette, pitching mock- baroque harpsichord against a taped electronic opponent.
Enda Bates's Miniature, for harpsichord and bass, ran like a piece of moto perpetuowriting with some wrinkles in the surface, and Brian Bolger's Oil and Water treated both instruments to an energetic workout, with a central section of hiccuping harpsichord against tremolos on the bass.
Seán Clancy's A Plague on Both Your Houses, for solo bass, was like a throat-clearing, exploratory improvisation, a start without a finish, and Donal Sarsfield's Did You?, the only piece which called for all four instruments, had a disjointed feeling reminiscent of the title of the John Masefield novel, ODTAA("one damn thing after another"), with the sparing use of harmonica providing the best moments.
Johanne Heraty's Four Lamentshad a blunt, nagging character, and it was the slow swing of Richard Gill's Cyclical Junctionswhich seemed to make most effective use of the character of the two main instruments. The audience gave it the most rousing reception, a verdict I would not contest.

Birth and New Motherhood Photography
Many years ago I believed I would study photography in college. While I did take a couple of classes and even set up a little studio in my parents' garage, I never pursued my passion for the art fully. Over the course of my doula career I have photographed many births–sometimes with a phone, and sometimes with a DSLR that the client provided. I've always been happy to do this, and when I was recently asked to capture a client's birth on film once again, it ignited that passion and made me realize that getting back to photography, within the context of my doula work, would be a beautiful melding of many things that I love.
To book these services, please email me at email@example.com
The Poetry of Birth
Families can hire me to photograph their birth with or without hiring me as their birth doula. But, those who hire me for photography alone get the benefit of a seasoned birth doula being there if needed. If doula clients hire me for photography, I will prioritize supporting the clients over taking pictures, but will always do my best to keep my camera at the ready and capture the moments the family hopes to have.
This package includes:
-One meeting to discuss your desires for birth photography (doula clients will do this at our prenatal meetings)
-On call for the birth beginning at 38 weeks
-Specific image requests when possible
-Ideally 50-100 (or more) edited photographs (depends on length of birth)
For Birth Doula Clients: $200.00
Without Birth Doula Support: $500.00
Raw Motherhood
Many photographers focus on posed, studio-style images of newborns and new mothers, but I'm always drawn to the candid, raw images depicting the real and raw aspects of the time after birth and early motherhood. Booking a Raw Motherhood session means you can just be YOU and I will frame the beauty of your experience with my camera. No need to put on makeup, pose, or worry about cleaning up your house–these images are all about capturing what is real and true for you in the postpartum period. Capture moments such as… breastfeeding, baby's bath, siblings and babies, partner bonding time, skin to skin, mom self care moments, and more.
This package includes:
-One full hour of photography in the comfort of your home
-25 edited photographs
For Postpartum Doula Clients: $50.00
Without Postpartum Doula Support: $100.00

The number of boarding groups that the US airlines have has become borderline comical. The SNL (Saturday Night Live) live comedy program had a funny sketch about them this weekend.
There shouldn't be geographical block to access this video from Yahoo's archives here. Edit: The Yahoo doesn't seem to work for all. I have now linked it to NBC's archives here.
The number of boarding groups with airlines such as United or Delta is crazy. Also, what is the purpose of Priority Boarding if more than half of the passengers are elites?

For Miles O'Brien's many fans, a CNN special from Dr. Sanjay Gupta will be indispensable.
"Miles O'Brien: A Life Lost and Found" premieres at 9 p.m. Tuesday.
Gupta explains how O'Brien, a free-lance science journalist and a CNN contributor, came back from the amputation of his left arm above the elbow.
He had bruised the arm during a February 2014 reporting trip to the Philippines. A heavy case fell on his left forearm and he initially ignored the painful bruise, but he was soon in a fight for his life and undergoing the amputation.
In the program, O'Brien, 55, shares his dark thoughts after the surgery, returns to flying a plane and lets the CNN crew follow his physical therapy and competition in a 300-mile charity bike ride.
Viewers have come to value O'Brien for his smart, sensible reporting on NASA and aviation disasters. A career highlight was his CNN coverage of the space shuttle Columbia catastrophe in 2003. O'Brien's command of scientific facts and his thoughtful style in interviews even won the on-air praise of broadcast legend Walter Cronkite.
O'Brien's willingness to share his own story will offer viewers a deeply personal look at science and health issues.

Fowles, a second-year doctoral student in the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology, just received a $15,000 grant from the Environmental Protection Agency for his research on "Beetle Larvae as Biodegraders of Styrofoam and Organic Waste" and now has an opportunity to score a $75,000 grant.
Meanwhile, his 100,000 mealworms in the Briggs Hall lab of his major professor Christian Nansen, are munching away in a project that Fowles hopes will make a difference in breaking down Styrofoam--especially a problem in the nation's landfills--and offer sustainable environmental solutions.
The larvae of the darkling beetle larvae, Tenebrio molitor, eat polystyrene or plastic foam, generically known as Styrofoam, a fact first revealed in 2015 by Stanford University researchers.
"It's about insects processing waste," Fowles said of his research. "In three weeks they ate three-fourths of a pound of Styrofoam, converting it into biodegradable waste."
"Trevor's project should be viewed as an example of what entomological agricultural research is all about in the 21st Century--developing new and highly innovative ways to recycle resources and more sustainable food production systems," said agricultural entomologist Christian Nansen, an associate professor of entomology who specializes in applied insect ecology, integrated pest management (IPM) and remote sensing.
In addition, the project has an applied evolutionary angle, which Fowles intends to explore.
Fowles received one of 31 Phase 1 grants in in the National Student Design Competition for Sustainability Focusing on People Prosperity and the Planet (P3), amounting to $463,000 in funding. His project now advances to the Phase 2 level, to take place April 7-8 at the National Sustainable Design Expo at the Science and Engineering Festival in Washington, DC.
In his research project, Fowles seeks to design a pilot-scale styrofoam biodegradation unit to take in regional styrofoam and organic waste, and establish a high-performance beetle lineage, or the "best beetle larvae to do the job." The adult beetles also eat Styrofoam, but not as much.
"Organization of our food systems will be a defining challenge in the upcoming century and I believe insects will play a significant role in transforming our agricultural sectors," Fowles said.
His design emphasizes economic feasibility, community engagement, and environmental stewardship. To be sustainable, the project is aimed at connecting local community stakeholders with research expertise to produce an ecofriendly alternative for styrofoam disposal. Fowles is zeroing in on four components to meet these objectives:
- optimizing parameters influencing styrofoam biodegradation
- modeling and designing a pilot system that maximizes degradation and nutritional value of beetle larvae
- project integration in collaboration with local agricultural producers and waste management to meet real world waste demands and
- community engagement to share the novel aspect of this concept and educate local school children about the concepts of sustainability.
After biodegrading the styrofoam, the beetles can be pelletized for animal feed, Fowles said, and the excrement or frass can be used as "high-value amendment to compost mixtures." He figures that that since Styrofoam by itself is a poor nutrient source for the beetle larvae, he eventually will mix it with organic waste materials, such as, pulp from wine and tomato industries, to optimize beetle development.
The darkling beetles and larvae are pests of stored grains, but the larvae are widely used throughout the world as food for humans; for captive pets, including fish, reptiles and birds; and as fish bait. They are reared commercially on fresh oats, wheat bran or grain, and often with sliced potato, carrots, or apple as a moisture source.
In the wild, darkling beetles and larvae are general decomposers, eating decaying leaves, sticks, grasses, and carcasses.
Fowles said he received his first colony of mealworms in 2016 from then graduate student Tom Nguyen at the Bohart Museum of Entomology, now a researcher at the Smithsonian Institution. Fowles purchased his 100,000 mealworms from the insect farm, Rainbow Mealworms and Crickets in Compton.
Fowles, who grew up in West Sacramento, received his bachelor's degree in biology in 2011 from San Diego State University. Before entering the UC Davis graduate student program, he served as a lab manager for five years for Carroll/Loye Biological Research, launched by the UC Davis entomological team of Scott Carroll and Jenella Loye.
In a news release, EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt said: "This year's P3 teams are applying their classroom learning to create valuable, cutting-edge technologies. This next generation of scientists is designing sustainable solutions that will help protect public health and the environment and ensure America continues to lead the world in innovation and science for decades to come."
