Pinch of turmeric powder
Pinch of salt
2 cups of water
1 tbsp Mustard oil
Wash and peel the mango. Cut into small pieces and do not discard the pit. Heat oil in a pan and add mango pieces, sprinkle little salt and red chilly powder and fry till light brown. Now keep these fried pieces aside. In the same pan add whole red chillies and mustard seeds, when the seeds starts spluttering add saunf and fried mango pieces along with 2 cups of water simultaneously . Cover and cook till the mangoes soften. Add the jaggery and stir well till it gets dissolved. Cook till it thickens to your desired consistency. I prefer it little runny texture.

Many MSNBC anchors have forged their reputation this year by speaking kind words about Barack Obama. So it was telling that, in the moments after declaring Obama's victory, the talking heads fell silent. For a while, there was no commentary - just images of elated crowds in Chicago's Grant Park, at a Baptist church in Atlanta, at historically-black Spelman College.
For all the feverish analysis the TV networks have spun in the past hours, days, and weeks, something changed the moment an Obama victory became clear. Across the dial, the rhetoric shifted from politics to history.
On the Fox News Channel, panelist Juan Williams declared that "on some level you have to say this is America at its grandest, the potential, the possibility." And Karl Rove, too, succumbed, "Every American ought to celebrate tonight." On a split screen, a camera panned over the faces - some elated, some amazed - of Obama supporters in Grant Park.
On CBS, correspondent Byron Pitts told Katie Couric that for some black Americans, "there are no words" to describe the emotions of the night. On NBC, Representative John Lewis spoke of "a night of gratitude."
The outpouring at 11 p.m. - when the closing of the West Coast polls made Obama's victory instantaneously clear - felt like a release from an uncomfortable restraint. Throughout the night, every network had shown considerable caution in projecting returns. Even seconds before 11, CNN's Wolf Blitzer, on the verge of declaring Obama the president-elect, was almost absurdly understated. "This is a moment," he said, "that potentially could be rather historic."
Clearly, the lessons of 2000 - when early projections turned out cataclysmically wrong - linger on in news executives' nightmares.
So even as the electoral math became increasingly difficult for John McCain to surmount, the networks replaced giddy projections with an arms race of gizmos.
CNN had its touch-screen electoral map,and more: holographic images of reporters and interviewees (causing anchor Campbell Brown to make a snide reference to "Obi Wan"), plus a stream of odd-shaped graphics that were meant to elucidate exit poll data, but wound up inducing headaches.
Fox News Channel, meanwhile, presented a graphic screen it called "The Launch Pad." NBC had a "virtual reality electoral map studio," in which some graphics rose from a replica of the presidential seal on the floor.
That information and processing power didn't necessarily translate into reporting speed - if speed remains an election-night value. Despite its avalanche of data, or possibly because of it, CNN was the slowest of the cable networks to call states. Brown kept preaching caution as if hewing to a yoga mantra.
MSNBC often called states for Obama before its cable competitors. Well before polls closed anywhere, anchor Keith Olbermann was declaring that journalists in 2100 would be interviewing 2008 voters, by then elderly, about their votes cast for the first black president.
Though Fox was slower to call some races, its panelists telegraphed their own predictions early on. By 8:30, Fox's Bill Kristol, also a conservative columnist for The New York Times, was looking disconsolate.
As the bad news for the GOP wore on, CNN too started waxing poetic about an Obama victory. When Jeffrey Toobin suggested that there was no historic precedent for the way the nation's image would change overnight, panelist William Bennett calmly pointed out that the end of World War II might count.

If you use email to communicate withing your organization you must ask yourself the following questions.

- Do I get a lot of fowards emails?
- Am I Ccd in a lot of emails?
If you answer YES to any of the questions above email is killing your productivity and you must make a change now.

Earlier today, Prince William and his new bride, Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, participated in a medal ceremony for the 1st Battalion Irish Guards Regiment at Victoria Barracks in Windsor.
It was Kate's first official military function, as she awarded operational medals to soldiers who had recently returned from service in Afghanistan.
One of this blog's readers, (peter_a), had long been singing Kate Middleton's praises as a devoted pantyhose wearer way before her famous marriage. He would tell me that Kate always appears in public wearing dresses, high heels and sheer pantyhose, and that I should write about her in my blog.
He is right. It seems that Kate is all about beauty, glamour, style and class. Well, add to that … ROYALTY.
Like Prince William's famous late mother, Princess Diana, royalty really suits Kate. It's not at all lost on the masses in the UK and likely throughout the rest of the world that Kate is picking up right where Princess Diana left off – at least in terms of presenting herself to the public.
During her time as a member of the Royal Family, perhaps no woman was more dedicated to service in global humanitarian efforts than Lady Di, and her energy for fulfilling those causes was matched by her devotion to dressing beautifully and elegantly when presenting herself to the world.
During the medal ceremony today, Kate wore a beautiful military-style dress in royal blue, with matching pumps and sheer nude pantyhose (photo at right). She looked absolutely stunning.
Contrast that to the wife of the most powerful man in the USA. She has come out publicly and trashed pantyhose, saying she hates them and will never wear them.
So, while her husband has made history, she appears to want to go down as the first First Lady in modern history to dishonor all that the office stands for by making public appearances in "bear" legs.
Guess she doesn't feel that the job her husband holds is worthy of her demonstrating any class, grace, or at the very least, professionalism, in the way she dresses. That's making history in another way all together. Swell.
Like her famous sister, Philippa Middleton (affectionately called Pippa), is considered a fashion icon. Fortunately, she too, has the class to always appear in public venues wearing dresses, heels and pantyhose.
Is Pippa Middleton Responsible for Spike in Nude Tights Sales?
In her piece, Singer wrote:
"Catapulted to style stardom as a result of her sister's wedding, Pippa Middleton's clothing choices are almost as influential as her sister's …
"But earlier this month, Jezebel (another blog site) pointed out that Pippa committed 'the ultimate pantyhose sin,' while she was spotted wearing nude tights in Paris no less."
Wait! Now, one isn't supposed to wear nude pantyhose in Paris? Oh, the rules. Who can keep up?
Singer continued:
"And somehow, the skin-toned hosiery trend is catching on! The Telegraph (a UK-based Internet news site) reports that sales of nude tights has 'risen by up to 85 percent in the past year.' The shocking increase has been attributed to a hesitancy to jump from opagues in the winter months to bare legs in the spring, as nude stockings offer an in-between of sorts."
OK, some interesting issues here:
First, I am glad to hear that sales of sheer nude pantyhose anywhere in the world are up at all – let alone by 85 percent. That report in The Telegraph also states that UK customers bought 130,000 pairs of tan tights in April and the first half of May.
Second, it's interesting that in Singer's post, she didn't make it clear what "the ultimate pantyhose sin" is, resulting in many of her readers writing in to ask for clarification.
I think Singer was referring to the bare legs culture in general, which has ruled the fashion industry for so long now, meaning that just the act of wearing pantyhose is "the ultimate sin."
To me, one of the most encouraging aspects of Singer's blog post is that the vast majority of comments I read were from women who seemed to be coming out in support of pantyhose. I found this refreshing because, if you've read blog topics about pantyhose in general, you know that most men write positive things in defense of pantyhose, while most women wax on about how much they hate pantyhose.
Somehow, I found my way on to another site: http://uk.ask.com/beauty/Pantyhose-Fashion – a sort of Q&A forum about pantyhose and fashion today. Usually, I can't read things like this because I end up getting really mad at all the mean things women write about how much they hate pantyhose, but surprisingly, I was thrilled to find that most comments were very much pro-pantyhose. Most people lamented the bare legs fad, saying it never should have happened and that they looked forward to the return of pantyhose for its beauty, glamour and workplace significance.
I also read many comments from men (and women) who blasted the bare legs look, saying it was boring and they were tired of it. And men stated that women who wear pantyhose are much more apt to receive attention from men.
Finally, there were comments from confused readers. Some asked in a hopeful tone if all this attention to the subject was a sign of the return of pantyhose to fashion prominence, while others confessed they never realized that pantyhose were ever considered "out" in the first place. I love that.
Back to Singer's post. She ended it this way:
"Will you follow Pippa's lead and wear nude hosiery on cooler summer nights, or have you sworn off the flesh-toned tights?"

Despite being on track as recently as this past February, Lamborghini's production Urus SUV—first shown as a concept at the 2012 Beijing auto show—may not have the clear path to gilded driveways we initially thought. Lamborghini itself greenlit the SUV last year, but the Italian automaker, according to a report from Autocar, is still waiting on a final go-ahead from the powers that be at Audi, its parent company within the Volkswagen Group.
Reportedly, the reluctance stems from Audi's concern over a potential global economic downturn and instability in the Middle East. The Germans feel there may not be room for another high-bucks performance SUV in the world, after all.
- 2015 Lamborghini Huracán LP610-4 Tested: It's Quicker than the Aventador
- 2015 Bentley Flying Spur V-8 Tested: Less Can Be More
- Porsche Cayenne Research: Full Pricing, Specs, Reviews, and More
It doesn't appear as though the Lamborghini's platform-mates—the Bentley SUV and the next-gen versions of the Volkswagen Touareg, Audi Q7, and Porsche Cayenne—have been or will be affected by the same train of thought. Despite the unease, we'd be surprised if the world's superwealthy are ultimately denied the chance to purchase a Urus. Ferrari's new president, at least, seems confident that the market for superexpensive cars isn't going anywhere but up.

Its hectic upon hectic here at Tiddler & Fox HQ, after a 3 day shopping show at the weekend; one day to set up, 3 days selling with a late night on Sunday, it was straight into preparing to move into a new shopping emporium in Salisbury which opens this Saturday (find all the details at the end of this post) with stock to price and sort and then packed up and off we went today.
As is the norm in retail, everything was chaos when we got there but a happy atmosphere as all of us traders set about getting our areas looking lovely. Just a few finishing touches later this week and it's good to go. I'm really pleased and looking forward to another new challenge. (plus there will be T&F goodies in another emporium in January 2017 but more on that to come!)
I will post in more detail next week when I have images to show you and the doors are open to shop, shop, shop. But its a great space and the cafe looks set to be awesome too, just bring me coffee and I'm happy.
So on top of that I almost forgot yesterday that the business was one year old.
Amazing to forget but there is so much my tiny bear brain can take so it dawned on me mid afternoon and I posted to social media and had some lovely responses. So nice to have the support when its been a full-on, non-stop, mind blowing year of learning, growing, developing and changing but overall I have to admit that it's been pretty darn amazing. I'm really looking forward to everything the next year will bring....
Now it's less than a month to Christmas I hope everyone is starting to feel festive, I have another 6 markets to go, with a full weekend this weekend in Sherborne (all the details are on the Craft and Vintage fairs page) and I'm really enjoying meeting such lovely customers and getting great feedback, makes all this hard work and endless thinking worth it.
So it's just a short post this week as my to-do list is packed full and there simply isn't enough coffee to keep me awake at the moment but here's to a great year for Tiddler & Fox with many more to come, thank you for reading and happy birthday to me!
The new Mollys Den in Salisbury can be found opposite the 6th Form college in Tollgate Road. Opening day is Saturday 3rd December at 10am and there will be live music, fizz and nibbles! (115 Tollgate Road, Salisbury, SP1 2JG) www.mollys-den.co.uk

Yes, I love me some delicious sangria recipes! The best thing about sangria (OK, no, there isn't just one best thing about sangria, it's all good) is that you really can't screw it up. As long as you have the basics of wine, fruit and perhaps some fruit juice or soda, you're good to go. This is my basic combination of go-to ingredients for a red sangria that's always a party-pleaser (everyone leaves my backyard happy!)
To make a pitcher like the one in this post, simply double the recipe!
Fruity Red Sangria
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup water
- 1 bottle red dry table wine
- ½ cup brandy
- 1 cup cranberry juice
- 1 apple, sliced
- 1 orange, sliced
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- Add sugar and water to a small saucepan. Over medium high heat bring the mixture to a boil. Cook until sugar is fully dissolved. Allow to cool. Congrats, you've just made delicious simple syrup (we make this in a larger batch ahead of time and store in a sealed jar in the fridge for sangria and mojitos!)
- Add red wine, brandy, cranberry juice, apple slices, orange slices, strawberries and blueberries to a large pitcher.
- Add in cooled simple syrup and stir. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or for best results overnight. Serve over ice and garnish with additional fruit and/or a cute straw!
- To make a spritzer, you can always add some club soda or sprite before serving.
You can find a chalkboard pitcher like the one I used at Amazon.ca!

Washington Snapshot: Tax Cuts 2.0 Expected to Stall in Senate, Congress Punts Spending Fight to December
In This Week's Edition of Snapshot…
- "Tax Cuts 2.0" Passes House, Expected to Stall in Senate
- Government Shutdown Averted, December Vote Looms
- Tax Writers Remain Hopeful That IRS Reform Will Happen Before Year's End
- Rettig Officially Sworn In to Become IRS Commissioner
- Sen. Scott Sends Letter to Treasury About Opportunity Zones
- Single Portal Filing Debuts as "Soft Launch" in Two States
- Nonprofit and Foundation Tax Exemptions Remain in Flux
News from the Hill
"Tax Cuts 2.0" Passes House, Expected to Stall in Senate
Last Friday, the House voted—mostly along party lines—to pass the package of three bills (H.R. 6760, H.R. 6757, and H.R. 6756) that has been referred to as "tax cuts 2.0." The legislation would make permanent the individual and small business tax cuts that were passed at the end of 2017 and currently expire in 2025. A number of these provisions raise significant concerns due to their expected negative impact on charitable giving (e.g. changes to the individual income tax rates, the increased standard deduction, and the increased threshold for the estate tax). One positive provision that would become permanent under this plan is the 60% AGI limitation for donations of cash. It also includes incentives for retirement savings and new business innovation.
With passage in the House, this legislation now advances to the Senate—although the upper chamber has no immediate plans to consider it. The top priority for the Senate right now is to address Judge Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court. If and when they resolve that issue, it will become a matter of whether Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) feels confident that he has the 60 votes necessary to pass the tax bills—which is highly questionable at this point, especially prior to the midterm elections. The Senate might alternatively decide to take up just the retirement-focused legislation, which is similar to a Senate bill that has bipartisan support from key Senate Finance Committee members.
Government Shutdown Averted, December Vote Looms
Last Friday, President Donald Trump signed a spending package that kept the federal government open as the new fiscal year (FY) began on Oct. 1. According to The Hill, "The measure fully funds most parts of the federal government through fiscal 2019, pushing off a deadline for a partial shutdown—and showdown over funding for Trump's proposed border wall—until early December. … Friday's measure included a continuing resolution [CR], or funding extension, for the seven bills that Congress has yet to agree on. Among them is the Department of Homeland Security bill, which contains funding for [President] Trump's proposed border wall."
Congress will need to pass another spending package for the remaining appropriations bills or pass another CR before Dec. 7 to avoid a partial government shutdown. With the midterm elections next month, the different dynamics of a lame-duck Congress could potentially complicate efforts by members to reach a compromise. According to POLITICO Morning Tax, "Congress exceeded lots of people's expectations with its recent appropriations performance. But that doesn't mean that efforts to fund the government after November's elections will go smoothly for Republicans—especially if they lose the House, the Budget team's Sarah Ferris reports. … 'It could be nearly impossible to muscle through the seven outstanding bills for fiscal 2019, at best prompting another stint of stopgaps and at worst stoking a pre-Christmas shutdown with Republicans in charge.'"
Tax Writers Remain Hopeful That IRS Reform Will Happen Before Year's End
Efforts to overhaul the IRS have been a consistent topic this year. With bipartisan support, a package of bills passed the House in April and two bipartisan bills (S. 3246, Taxpayer First Act and S. 3278, Protecting Taxpayers Act) have been introduced in the Senate by Finance Committee members. The House efforts have been spear-headed by Reps. Lynn Jenkins (R-KS) and John Lewis (D-GA), who lead the Ways and Means Oversight Subcommittee. In the Senate, the Taxpayer First Act was introduced by Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Ranking Member Ron Wyden (D-OR), with the Protecting Taxpayers Act led by Sens. Rob Portman (R-OH) and Ben Cardin (D-MD).
As reported by POLITICO Morning Tax, staffers from House and Senate tax-writing committees met last Thursday to try and reach an agreement on how to merge the three separate bills. However, this process seems to have hit a snag with Chairman Hatch and Sen. Portman butting heads about which provisions from each of their bills get included in the negotiations. According to POLITICO Pro, Sen. Portman, whose bill is more broad-sweeping in its outlined reform measures (and subsequently, is more controversial than the Hatch/Wyden bill), would prefer to "ride with [his] bill." However, a spokesman for Sen. Portman later indicated that the Senator "supports the chairman's bill, wants to see it pass, and is working with him and Finance staff to include key initiatives in the Portman-Cardin effort as well."
On the House side, Rep. Jenkins believes they are "so close" to reaching an agreement. She further predicted that some final version of an IRS reform bill could pass on a bipartisan basis in the lame-duck session of Congress following the midterms. "This is a legacy opportunity [for Chairman Hatch]," she said, referring to his retirement at the end of this year. She continued, "We're looking to get this reform bill done by the end of the year."
Executive & Regulatory News
Rettig Officially Sworn In to Become IRS Commissioner
On Monday, Chuck Rettig was sworn in as the 49th IRS commissioner by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. Commissioner Retting was confirmed last month by the Senate to serve the remainder of a 5-year term expiring in November 2022. Until this Monday, Treasury Department Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy David Kautter had served as the acting IRS commissioner for the past 11 months.
According to The Hill, in an internal communication directed to IRS employees, the new commissioner said, "I am honored, privileged and most humbled by the opportunity to serve with you as Commissioner…The foundation of my becoming Commissioner is a deep appreciation for the IRS, its workforce and our country." Commissioner Rettig also highlighted the importance of providing good customer service to taxpayers despite the challenges presented by the IRS' outdated technology system.
Among the IRS commissioner's priorities are the readiness for the upcoming filing season after the 2017 tax overhaul, the improvement of data security and combating tax-related identity theft, and working with Congress to increase the agency's funding for fiscal year 2019.
In a tweet about the new IRS commissioner, Secretary Mnuchin said, "Chuck's commitment to fairness and taxpayer service will make a tremendous impact in the lives of millions of Americans."
Also on Monday, Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden (D-OR) sent a letter addressed to Commissioner Rettig asking him to assure the Committee that the IRS will enforce the Johnson Amendment under his leadership. Sen. Wyden's letter comes after Vice President Mike Pence's speech at the Values Voter Summit on Sept. 22, where he mentioned that the Administration had "ended enforcement of the Johnson Amendment."
Sen. Scott Sends Letter to Treasury About Opportunity Zones
Last week, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin asking for regulatory clarification on Opportunity Zones—a provision from the 2017 tax code overhaul that Sen. Scott primarily authored. In the letter, Sen. Scott noted, "Today, public and private stakeholders nationwide are eagerly awaiting regulatory clarity on Opportunity Zones. As the lead sponsor of the Opportunity Zones provision and a Senate conferee for TCJA [Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, P.L. 115-97], I write to underscore key aspects of congressional intent for the provision, and urge you to take these issues into account as the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) draft the initial Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for Opportunity Zones investments."
Sen. Scott specifically requested that, (1) "Treasury…use its authority to establish a regulatory framework that meets reasonable market-based needs for flexibility and scalability for investors organizing to serve both new and existing operating businesses, as well as to invest in real estate projects;" (2) Treasury take care "not to artificially or inadvertently limit the practical ability of Opportunity Funds to raise capital from multiple investors and invest in multiple holdings;" and (3) that "Treasury…provide adequate time for [Opportunity] Funds to reinvest capital that has been returned to the Fund from an underlying portfolio investment."
It is expected that Treasury will release their regulations on Opportunity Zones in the coming weeks.
Single Portal Filing Debuts as "Soft Launch" in Two States
On Monday, the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG)/National Association of State Charity Officials (NASCO) held the Public Day of their "Charities in a World of Change" conference. It was announced that the State Charity Registration Portal (Single Portal) is now live in two states: Connecticut and Georgia. Single Portal expects to have at least five more states join in the second cohort, launching by January 2019.
Additionally, with over 1.4 million nonprofits in the United States, self-regulatory programs were discussed as a valuable tool that allows charities to focus on compliance and best practices, which in turn allows charities to distinguish themselves as credible and accountable to the public, policymakers, and regulators. Christina Gonzalez, the Council's executive director of National Standards and staff counsel, heard directly from James Sheehan, chief of the New York Attorney General Charities Bureau, that his office works closely with accredited community foundations in New York precisely because they are accredited by National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations.

Nonprofit and Foundation Tax Exemptions Remain in Flux
While Congress and most state legislatures have adjourned for the year or are on hold during election season, nonprofits and foundations are facing moving targets from the branches of state government. In the executive branch, the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration confirmed that nonprofits conducting auctions do not need to charge sales taxes when all proceeds benefit the charitable organization. In a separate case, however, the department found that an organization must collect sales tax on event tickets sold through a third-party website based on the reasoning that the charity does not retain the processing fee for purchasing the tickets.
A gubernatorial candidate in Massachusetts pledged to pay for some of his spending promises by imposing a billion-dollar tax on investment returns of certain colleges and universities in the Commonwealth. The Massachusetts Nonprofit Network immediately opposed the proposed tax rate of 1.6 percent, which is slightly more than the new federal tax on large college and university endowments that Massachusetts members of Congress opposed as part of the 2017 federal tax law.
The New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled that a religious organization's youth summer camp, which offers religious, educational, and recreational services and benefits to the general public, is entitled to be exempt from property taxes. The court overturned a trial court ruling denying the Catholic organization's exemption. In 2012, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court reached the opposite conclusion in a similar case based on that Commonwealth's constitution.
Finally, in a case of great national interest, the Illinois Supreme Court ruled that the Legislature has the authority to clarify and narrow the property tax exemption of nonprofit hospitals in the state. In response to an earlier ruling that put hospital tax exemption in question, the Legislature worked with nonprofits and local governments to develop a regime for determining whether individual hospitals provide sufficient community benefits to justify the property tax exemption. The recent decision upheld the legislative fix as valid under the state constitution. Nearly three-quarters of the state's 200 hospitals are nonprofits, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Few places have embraced mobile telecommunications with the enthusiasm of Africa, where the lack of fixed telephony and continent-wide poverty meant phones were once only for the rich.
In the mid-1990s this began to change as mobile companies discovered the need for cheap communication coupled with a growing middle class meant demand for their services was insatiable. Mobile towers are easier to construct than a dedicated copper line network, and soon enough mobile chatter was possible from the Cape Town to Cairo.
Between 1994 and 2014, mobile phone subscribers across Africa rose to 329 million – about the same as the United States – and could reach as high as half a billion by the end of this decade, according to KPMG. Revenue from voice, message and data crossed the US$75 billion mark in 2013 and now contributes 5.4 per cent of sub-Saharan Africa's GDP.
Growth in communications is aided by a fast-growing middle class, which rose to 130 million between 2000 and 2010, according to the African Development Bank. Another 100 million are expected to join their ranks within this decade.
So important has Africa become that the emerging mobile handset producer, China's Huawei, used Nigeria as a test ground to roll out its early generation handsets, before introducing them to the international market a few years ago.
Banking and online commerce is another area where Africa has excelled; users in even the remotest of villages in east Africa can pay bills, transfer funds and obtain loans on cheap handsets that predate the smartphone era.
By 2020 African mobile banking will be worth US$1.4bn according to a study by Frost and Sullivan ICT.
Some innovations have been more welcome than others. Mobile carriers have begun to grumble over the increasing use of over-the-top (OTT) content, whereby users bypass voice and sms communications and make use of services such as WhatsApp instead. Apps such as this allow cheap communication using mobile data only, eating into operators' sms and voice revenue.
Barely a week before MTN's Nigeria trouble hit the news, the company's South Africa chief executive Mteto Nyati upset South African subscribers by suggesting the carrier was planning to move against OTT
"You have these players which are getting huge benefit out of an industry without making any investment. How do we level the playing fields?" Mr Nyati said. "What have these over the top players invested in South Africa? Zero."
The ensuing public outrage – nearly 80 per cent of South African subscribers are regular OTT users, according to WhatsApp – made the company drop the subject quickly.
In any event, it is likely that platforms such as this will continue to grow and expand across a continent, where mobile phones are continually being used in new ways not originally envisaged by the telecommunications industry.

The murder of his wife during a botched heist thrusts Orson Gage into a quest for vengeance, and entangles him in a world of villains, violence and duplicity, where the line between friend and foe is blurred. DEAD BODY ROAD is unabashedly derivative of works Elmore Leonard and Richard Stark. The premise could be ripped from the minds of both those authors. It is not especially innovative, and it's not 'genre defining.' It's simply a great crime comic; a love letter to the grandmasters of crime fiction, and an artistic tour de force. Which is enough to make it one of my favorite comics of the year.
Gage is not a likeable protagonist. He is not a good man, and there is nothing chivalrous about his mission. He attacks his enemy with brutal intensity and determination. He is not seeking redemption through his actions. Gage understands and accepts the fact that his quest for vengeance will likely lead to his death. With his wife gone, revenge has become the single thing he lives for. So he investigates and targets the men involved in the heist that got his wife killed, cutting through the posse like a hot knife through butter, asking each of individual the same question: "who killed my wife?"
Revenge tales are a time a dozen, but very few have the benefit of Matteo Scalera's artwork. Already a fan from his work on BLACK SCIENCE (which I reviewed recently), DEAD BODY ROAD is exactly the type of story perfect for Scalera's talents. Amidst the scratchiness and unique flamboyance of the art is a layer of realism necessary to ground the story. Car chases rarely work on a static page, but Scalera pulls off a scene with aplomb, capturing the pace and adrenaline of an equivalent scene from a blockbuster film. The visuals alone make DEAD BODY ROAD worth the price of admission. It really is a treat.
But take nothing away from the writer, Justin Jordan. He doesn't try to hide his story's influences, instead makes sure he hits the high notes of his predecessors and contemporaries. DEAD BODY ROAD is not a blatant facsimile of single story we've read before; instead it massages a multitude of stimuli into its final product. It's a perfect salute to the genre's greatest writers.
And it's a darn fine one.

While trees continue to grow, timberland values and a trickle of wood bioenergy projects continue to fall. In the market, timberland investors struggle with current valuations and wood bioenergy projects work to gain traction or have fallen to the sidelines as investors shake the sector like a sack of Scrabble tiles. As an analyst reviewing the data and observing events in the field, I hear Earl Weaver, the former Baltimore Orioles' manager, screaming in my ear, "Everything changes everything!"
Wood Bioenergy Update
The New York Times, in citing Forisk's wood bioenergy research ("Wood Makes Comeback as a Fuel", May 2, 2012), emphasized the growth opportunities related to European pellet markets. In total, however, the wood-using energy sector has started highlighting winners and losers. Financing continues to prove a major hurdle for independent power producers.
While the number of projects that pass Forisk's screening methodology fell from 297 to 295, the estimated volume of wood consumed by viable projects edged up 2.4%. As of April 29, 2012, Wood Bioenergy US reports that projected wood demand for all 452 announced projects in the U.S. totaled 123.7 million tons, while the 295 projects that passed Forisk's screen could consume up to 72.1 million tons of wood annually by 2022.
Timberland Investment Purgatory
Recent returns from the NCREIF Timberland Index affirm that turmoil reigns in timber. For four consecutive quarters, NCREIF has reported negative appreciation returns for private US timberlands (Table 1). And for three consecutive years, NCREIF reported negative appreciation returns for private US timberlands (Table 2). Meanwhile, these timberlands continue to generate on the order of 1.5 – 2.5% annual cash returns.
Turmoil reflects uncertainty and confusion, and timberland returns, even in the face of positive signs from housing markets, incur disquiet. While cash returns improve with increased harvest volumes and stronger stumpage (timber) prices, timberland appreciation builds on prices paid – and received – by institutional investors.
The reality remains that investors choose timberlands for reasons in addition to returns. These include the diversification and capital preservation benefits of being in a hard asset, directly owned and managed.
So Where Are We?
In the US, forestry investment professionals understand the market, which remains undersupplied with timberland relative to demand from institutions and available capital. The purgatory – this (temporary) period of miserable waiting and scratching at Excel valuation models – resolves itself when the market decides whether or not timberland is a "6% business." If investors expect or demand 6% real returns from new acquisitions, then math dictates additional depreciation in timberland values.
Ultimately, timber markets are uniquely local, and those trading in small parcels, outside of the institutional investment spotlight, retain niche and higher potential opportunities. The pressure on timberland markets and investors are forcing a return to forestry fundamentals that are today reshaping the timberland investment sector.

Since my father's death on October 19, 2013, I have been working on compiling a permanent memoir of him along with his poems for a hardcover copy of his work. When I was growing up, my father, R. Leonard Swanson always said that he wrote write in the style of Edgar Guest. Because the Nursing Staff at Corry Manor called Dad "Santa Claus" and because it is the holiday season, I thought it would be appropriate to compare Dad's poems to Mr. Guest's poems. I have done a little research into Edgar Guest's work and found a Christmas poem that he wrote and I have a Christmas poem that Dad wrote. There is a bit of difference in style, but there is definitely a similarity. Click here to Read Remainder of Post

2570 Mechanical Tank Gauge
The GSI 2570 Mechanical Tank Gauge is a mechanically actuated, float and tape instrument designed to provide continuous level measurement in tanks, vessels, vats, or any other container for liquid storage. Also referred to as Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG), Float and Tape Tank Gauge, Float Type Level Gauge.
The latest modification (Patent Pending) to the GSI-2570 is the removable checker gland. It is, no longer required to remove the bolts and back cover, cassette, TSSA, and tape to change the checker assembly, checker or hair spring. This new method will save hours of maintenance.
Theory of Operation
GSI 2570 Mechanical Gauge Head contains a Constant Force Spring, called a Negator Motor or Negator Cassette. The GSI 2570 Mechanical Gauge Head can be mounted at ground level or on tank top . Changes in the tank level will raise or lower the Float, which moves the Tape through the Gauge pipe and over the Elbows. As the Float moves, the Tape is pulled or released by the Negator Motor. As the Tape moves, it drives a Sprocket that drives a Counter Assembly. The Counter Assembly level is given on the front of the Gauge. The Gauge may also contain a Dual Calibration Assembly, known as the DCA. This unit will let you calibrate the Counter Assembly along with the Transmitter at the same time if one is installed. If mechanical Alarms are used instead of a Transmitter, it will let you calibrate the Cams on the Alarms at any level that you set the Inch Dial to. This is very helpful when product is in the tank and you are trying to set the low & low low or high & high high levels.
Counter Assemblies may be English fractional in 16ths of an inch, English decimal in 100ths of feet or Metric in meters and millimeters. These readings may be Innage or Ullage.
Liquid seals are used on tanks that store heavy products, such as tar, in which case the seal would be filled with a cleaning agent. As the Tape runs through the Seal, the Tape would be cleaned. This keeps the contaminants or corrosive agents out of the Gauge, and keeps the Gauge working freely.
Floats are of the hollow shell type, and are made of stainless steel. In some cases, special Floats are needed. For example, in a tar tank, the Float has inverted guide clips and a long Swivel. In a turbulent or agitated tank, a Cone Dampener Float is used. Some tanks use the internal or external roof as the Float. In this case the Tape or Tape/cable would be attached to a roof weight that sets on the Floating roof. The same tanks may also use a Float that rides inside a Float well.
Top Anchors are used on the Cone Roof Tanks to allow the Guide Wire to expand with tank expansion by means of a spring that is enclosed. Top Anchors mount on top of the tank. Guide Wire runs from the Top Anchors down to the Bottom Anchor, which is attached to the floor. The Guide Wire provides a track for the guided Float to travel along.
Brackets are used for holding the pipe in place along the external wall of the tank. Some tanks require a bracket at the top of the tank to support the sheave Elbows also.
The GSI 2570 is a low pressure gauge, suitable for installation on tanks with working pressure up to 15 psig. The GSI 2570 can be purchased as a gauge head to upgrade older or broken gauges and purchased as a gauge kit for new tank installations.
GSI offers the 2570 in a variety of gauge and kit options. GSI gauge kits are engineered to fit the tank application, i.e., product content, service requirements, and physical tank construction.

Pause and Consider Pet Insurance
It's been more than a year since her dog died from lymphoma, and Judy Miller still has no idea how much she and her husband spent on his veterinary care. She couldn't figure it out even if she wanted to; the Los Angeles resident shredded the bills.
"Honestly, it was a fortune," she said with a sigh, clearly still heartbroken over the loss of Flynn, a poodle-terrier mix that succumbed to the illness at the ripe old age of 15. "I couldn't bear to total it up. I just didn't want to know."
The rescue dog's cancer was discovered only a month after the Millers spent $3,500 for his double cataract surgery. Flynn was a part of the family—a stand-in grandchild, Miller joked—and the couple would have spent anything to extend his life.
As veterinary medicine improves, experiences like the Millers' are becoming more and more common. Americans spent $10.1 billion on veterinary care in 2007, according to the American Pet Products Manufacturers' Association. That number is expected to go up to a whopping $10.9 billion for 2008.
"People are treating their pets like family members," said Hope Schultz, president of WebVet.com, a comprehensive health platform for pet owners. "They're spending exorbitant amounts of money trying to maintain them."
The nation's age-50+ population is likely leading the pack in veterinary spending, as nearly half of those 50 and over own at least one pet, according to consumer analysis firm Scarborough Research. Yet even with increasingly high veterinary bills, in an economy that's shaky at best, it's estimated by market research group Yankelovich Monitor that only 3 percent of pet owners have pet insurance.
That figure isn't shocking to Miller.
"I never would have thought of getting it," she said of pet insurance. "You don't think of animals getting sick. You don't think it's ever going to happen to your dog."
Other pet owners, like Linda Welch of Washington, D.C., are well aware of the health problems that can plague household animals, but feel the fees—which can vary depending on breed and age—aren't worth the benefits that can sometimes take years to materialize.
Welch—who owns a holistic pet food and supplies shop and a 24-hour dog kennel—was paying $700 a year for her two Saint Bernards' pet insurance. "They up the price when they see us coming," she laughed of her large canine companions. Since the policy didn't cover routine care or their preexisting conditions (most policies do not), she felt it didn't make sense financially to continue the policies.
Still, shelling out $1,800 for a single, recent root canal for one of her giant dogs, and then $3,000 to get the other's toe amputated (and another $3,000 for related treatment, such as antibiotics and diagnostic tests) took a toll on the 50-year-old's wallet.
A well-researched pet insurance policy could have lessened the financial load for both of these pet owners, according to Dr. Anna Worth, president of the American Animal Hospital Association.
The longtime Vermont-based veterinarian and her organization stand firm on responsible pet ownership, part of which means mapping out a financial plan to pay for the unexpected when it comes to pet health. Accidents and poor health may not occur to most of us when we're staring in the adoring eyes of that puppy or kitten we're about to take home. The plan may include savings or credit cards, but "insurance is certainly an important tool to help pet owners meet unexpected [veterinary] bills," she said.
AAHA does not endorse any particular pet insurance companies, but recommends taking time to understand what potential policies cover, what they exclude (such as preexisting and hereditary conditions), how expenses are reimbursed (almost all policies have deductibles and copay requirements), and whether or not the policies allow you to choose your own vet.

A friend sent this to me a while ago and I just loved it. As it was originally written quite a long time ago, I took liberty to change some of the verses to make them a little more applicable to me…
Mother oh Mother come take up your cloth
Hang out the laundry and mend up the socks
Clear off the table and mix up the bread
Finish the sweeping and make up the beds.
Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?
She's up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.
Oh I've grown as shiftless as Little Boy Blue
Dishes are waiting and bills are past due
The shoppings not done and there's nothing for stew
And out in the yard there's a hullaballo.
But I'm playing kanga, and this is my roo.
Look! Aren't his eyes the most wonderful hue?
The cleaning and scrubbing can waith till tomorrow
For children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down cobwebs, dust go to sleep
I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.

Title: Brain scans help think away pain
Post by: kristine on December 20, 2005, 09:30:29 AM
Brain scans help think away pain
It may really be a matter of mind over matter - scientists suggest it is possible to control brain activity to reduce the pain you feel.
Stanford University researchers found seeing brain scans and using mental exercises helped reduce pain.
A UK pain expert said the work backed other studies which suggested changing how people thought about pain could reduce its effects.
The research is in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.
Thirty-six volunteers took part in the study.
Heat was applied to their palms, with the temperature for each person set depending on what they found painful.
One group was placed inside a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner where they were able to watch their brain activity on a moment-by-moment basis.
They were then shown "live" action images of their rostral anterior cingulate cortex, an area of the brain responsible for processing pain.
Next, they were given various mental strategies to try to train the brain to respond to pain differently, such as being asked to think of it as a relatively pleasant experience.
Over time, the eight people who went through this training procedure showed an increased ability to modulate their response to pain.
Other groups were either shown no scans at all - and just given behavioural techniques to help them cope with pain, or shown scans of different areas of the brain, or those showing other people's pain responses.
People in these groups showed no changes in how they responded to pain.
'Brain exercise'
Dr Sean Mackey, who led the research, said the study findings offered great hope for people who suffer chronic pain.
"We could change people's lives.
"However, significantly more science and testing must be done before this can be considered a treatment for chronic pain."
He said it was not clear how people had controlled their brain activity, but added: "We really don't know how anyone controls their brain to perform an action."
Laura Tibbitt, 31, who took part in the study, has chronic back pain caused by a horseback riding accident seven years ago, said she used different thoughts to decrease the pain while watching her brain scans.
She said: "I'd think of little people on my back digging out the pain, or I'd think of snowflakes.
"The goal was to exercise your brain, to retrain your brain. Sometimes I felt like I had made a change in my brain. The pain was never completely gone, but it was better."
Dr Beverley Collett, president of the British Pain Society, said: "In some ways, this supports some of what we are already doing in pain treatment, using cognitive therapy to change how people think about their pain.
"And we know psychological treatments do help people manage their pain."

Fat freezing is a technique used to reduce the number of fats in your body. Earlier on, this technique was known only for healing burnt skin surfaces and swollen body parts. But thanks to research, doctors have now discovered that freezing fats is also a great way to lose weight.
How does it Work?
Well, if this has been your problem then the answer is right here! First, you got to understand that there are two types of fats in the body. We have the white fat which speeds up muscle development and of course, the brown fat which increases the rate of fat breakdown.
Now, when white fats are exposed to something cold, they quickly convert to brown fats. Consequently, the resultant brown fats accelerate metabolism of more fats leading to weight loss.
How is Fat Freezing Done with Ice/Gel Packs?
First, you have to identify the areas of your body you would like to get frozen. Next, is to wrap each of the parts with either ice or gel packs then leave for at least half an hour or a maximum of one hour. You should repeat this every single day for about 2 weeks.
Advantages of Freezing Fat

We're always looking for a cadre of folks who love thinking deeply about fashion and culture and (insert your interest) to write for IBC. We receive over a thousand hits a day, and reach folks all over the world.
If you read IBC, you probably know what our deal is. But just in case, please read carefully before submitting…
Ironing Board Collective's Philosophical Angle:
First and foremost, we love fashion and we know it. All of it. We love couture and high fashion, designer (big name and local), seasonal trends, accessories, shoes, obscure trends from bygone times, bikers and biker chicks, hippies, poets, artists, barbershop owners, muscle car fans, Black Panthers, fashion stuff we can afford, stuff we can't afford, stuff we're obsessed with and can't afford so we try to fake it from less expensive items… ALL…OF…IT. We love fashion and, because the fashion industry can be complicated, we welcome our own complicated relationships to it.
We started IBC because there seemed to be a dearth of smart people who also love fashion writing about fashion in interesting ways. Lots of people think fashion is vapid. Lots of people take photographs of themselves wearing things that are pointless so why they start blogs we don't know. Lots of people are trend followers and write about that, which is frankly also boring. Lots of people think that fashion is nothing but an elitist trope of a vacant consumerist culture, which is depressing and also seems not entirely true. We are not those people. We are people who love fashion, think it's important in its own right, think it's beautiful and sometimes hideous, think it is and can be thought-provoking, and think it's fun to talk about the myriad ways in which the art of personal aesthetics affect our lived experiences.
We think about fashion in some context all the time, because let's face it–we wear clothes! Otherwise we'd be indecent like that guy on the corner who sometimes isn't wearing pants.
And some of us are queer. And trans. And straight. And people of color. We think the lens in which you look at things is meaningful, and we're a fashion blog with diverse perspectives. But we're a fashion blog first and foremost.
Who You Might Be (with easy to read bullets):
- You love fashion. You don't think that its shit smells like roses, but you love it all the same because you think it can be beautiful and hideous and fascinating and you love it.
- You consider yourself stylish in some way. This doesn't mean you're always dressed to the nines, or that you're chasing trends–in fact, we're not so into trend chasing. Just that you like what you like and you're pretty confident about it.
- You think about fashion in interesting, snappy, unexpected ways because you're passionate about style and culture and how the two dance together.
- You are a photographer and want to do a photo blog. If you are we REALLY want to meet you.
- You're trolling for weird/gorgeous/unexpected items on the regular and would love to share your unique finds with the INTERNET. C'mon! Everyone's on the internet!
- You like the idea of scooping the Times Style section and Esquire because they're actually a little behind.
- You're always thinking about the intersection of fashion and ________ (race, gender, class, art, literature, design, lived experience, kittens, etc.)

The guest gig is two months/8 posts long beginning in September, November, January, and so on. We accept submissions on a rolling basis. You can write along a theme for the 2 months, or do whatever comes into your head on the weekly. Posts would go up once a week (in keeping with our general format).
I know what you're thinking, "Omg, do they pay?" Sadly, no. We all do this so our brains don't explode from over thinking, but maybe one day if we mobilize and make it REALLY magazine-y in a really pro way, we can get paid by the Internet.
If you think you might enjoy writing for IBC, then read a variety of posts, get a feel for the personality of the site, and submit a "dummy" post to Michael (or a clip/link to something you've published that fits our guidelines) at firstname.lastname@example.com. We're looking forward to hearing from you.
Additionally, we're open to "one-offs" so if you have a great idea for a single post, pitch us!
1 euro Minimum Deposit Casino in Ireland
It used to be expensive to run online casino games. This was a limitation because not every player could afford such a price. After reading the review of the Ireland 1 Euro Deposit Casinos here, you will understand that they were mainly created in order to provide players with a small budget. If you are skeptical about how many casinos in Ireland can offer you a €1 deposit, you should be prepared for a surprise.

Best Quotes by Voltaire
Speak about Voltaire as a philosopher will make some people smile. But if he did not build a philosophical system like Hegel or Kant, Voltaire remains a major influence on the philosohy of the Enlightenment. His pacifism will influence Alain, he popularized the English liberalism of Locke, the empiricism of Hume and exchange conflictual views with Rousseau in his lifetime.
Here are famous quotes by Voltaire on the main themes of his philosophy: religion and politics.
Voltaire and religion:
– "As long as there are rogues and fools, there will be religious. Ours is unquestionably the most ridiculous and most absurd and bloodiest ever infected the world"
– "The world embarrasses me, and I can not think – that this clock exists and has developed a watchmaker"
– "Fanaticism is superstition that the transport is at a fever, that rage is to anger"
– "Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy the mad daughter of a very wise mother"
– "If God did not exist it would have to invent"
– "Christianity is the most infamous superstition that ever stupid men and desolate the earth"
Voltaire and freedom of expression:
– "I do not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death for your right to say"
Voltaire and Metaphysics:
– "The human species is the only one who knows she must die"
– "We love life, but none do not let having a good"
– "I stop to die if I had a good word"
Voltaire and politics:
– "The art of government consists in taking as much money as possible to a class of citizens to give to another"
– "As is the abuse of despotism of the monarchy, anarchy is the abuse of democracy"
– "When the mob gets involved in reasoning, all is lost"
– "It is better to risk saving a guilty person than to convict an innocent man"
– "Men with wise laws, customs have always insane"
– "Politics has its source in evil than in the greatness of the human spirit"
Voltaire, equality and the people:
– "It is expedient that the people should be guided, and not that he is educated, he is not worthy of being"
– "The system of equality has always seemed a fool's pride"
– "I do not know that Jean-Jacques Rousseau who can be blamed for these ideas of equality and independence, and all these dreams that are only ridiculous"
– "The work us from three great evils: boredom, vice and need"
Voltaire, Leibniz and optimism:
– "If this is the best of possible worlds, what are the others?"
– "Optimism is the madness of maintaining that all is well when it is wrong"
– "We must cultivate our garden"

[Seoul] A long line of tourists from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan can always be spotted queuing for Isaac Toast 이삭토스트 at Myeongdong.
Known to be one of the best sandwich toast place in Korea, is this worthy or just overhyped?
Quick introduction: Isaac Toast has over 700 retail stores in South Korea, with overseas branches in both Macau, Taiwan and Malaysia.
The outlets in Malaysia include Gateway at Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (KLIA2) Arrival Hall, and Johor Bahru Paradigm Mall Level 3.
While there are many branches all around, this kiosk at Myeongdong with no seating space, seems to be the most popular.
The Myeongdong outlet serves up 7 varieties of toast, including Bulgalbi (3,200 Won), Bulgogi (2,800 Won), Hot Tteokgalbi (3,200 Won), Hot Chicken (3,000 Won), Steak Ham (2,800 Won), Bacon Best (2,800 Won) and Ham Special (2,400 Won).
That is between SGD$2.85 to SGD$3.80, making it a rather affordable and filling breakfast.
Do note that other branches may carry different types of toast include Double Cheese Potato, Shrimp, Spicy Cutlet, and Bacon & Cheese Bagel.
While the line at Myeongdong is usually long, it clears up quite fast. However, I read some reviews that the servers can be rude. I guess can't help it when there are only 2 to 3 ajumma handling so many tourists at once.
I first had a Bulgalbi Toast (3,200 Won), freshly made on the spot, filled with grilled beef patty, egg, cheese, pickles and cabbage.
The toast would then be wrapped in a paper wrap, printed with a verse of Genesis 26.
Upon the first bite, I realised what the hype was all about. It was simple stuff made particularly good.
There was a lot going out in a toast, with some special sauce and sweet honey which gave the bread a tinge of appetising sweetness.
The patty was thin (maybe too thin) but juicy, and sliced cabbage added refreshing crunch. The bread freshly pan-grilled over butter, was fluffy and aromatic.
To be fair, I had another Korean Street Toast from an ordinary road-side stall which turned out to be comparable.
After trying a couple different toasts, here are some tips.
Between than Ham Special (2,400 Won) and Ham with Cheese (2,200 Won), get the former as it includes pickles and cabbage, adding some "Korean-ness" to a breakfast meal.
Hot Tteokgalbi would mean spicy grilled beef patty. A friend confused it with Tteokbokki (rice cakes).
If you would like something sweeter, go for the Bulgogi patty.
The Hongdae branch is a café sit-down concept which faces directly the Hongik University entrance.
I also had a Spicy Cutlet Toast at this branch, which was closer to ordinary and lacked of that thin crisp on the surface. If this was the only Isaac Toast I had, I might be more inclined to say it was "over-rated".
Conclusion: I like Isaac Toast enough, won't mind having this for breakfast a couple of times in a week, but only if the queue is short.

I'm hanging my head out the window, the roof lit with the orange end of a cig. Everything is coated with the saccharine scent of vanilla and the beginning of an episode. My head is throbbing, waiting for the meds to start working, this is torture.
I slept earlier today for an hour or so, only to fall into a nightmare that you died. I was sitting over your grave trying to play a song for you on guitar, and (as it goes with nightmares) I was unable. My fingers would not move, I just screamed and sobbed and lay on the dirt and pebbles in front of your headstone. My first instinct upon waking was to stop crying and call you, and we spoke in numbed voices for barely a minute,
"I'll call you when I'm back home"
I knew you were lying.
It's been so long since I've had time off that I can't handle the transition in and out of working. Maybe thats what brought this on, maybe it's all the important decisions I've let linger. Maybe it's that I haven't had a thing to eat today, but I'm not hungry. I can't breathe. Let the descent into madness begin.

In honor of World Health Day on April 7, 2019, let's take a look at some surprising ways your physical health can impact your hearing health. If you've recently been diagnosed with hearing loss, consider asking your physician or dentist about these other issues so you can keep on top of your overall health. Cardiovascular Health It's been demonstrated many
The human body is complex. So complex, in fact, that some things you read about it might seem downright far-fetched. For example, your heart health affects your hearing health. The Heart–Hearing Link That might sound a little squirrelly, but it's supported by more than six decades of research . How are they connected? Your inner ear is where sound waves
How many people in your life have hearing difficulties? One person? Two people? A handful? No one? The actual number is quite possibly more than you think, because hearing loss — the inability or reduced ability to perceive sounds that enter the ear — is much more common than many realize. In the United States and Canada together, for example,
Are hearing impairment and diabetes connected? More than you might think. Hearing loss — which affects an estimated one of every five Americans — is twice as common among people living with diabetes, making healthy habits and regular hearing checkups all the more important for overall wellness. Some 30 million people in the U.S. have diabetes , a chronic metabolic

Nadolol (Corgard) is a non-selective beta blocker used in the treatment of high blood pressure and chest pain.
The reference site for Nadolol
WHAT IS Nadolol?
Nadolol is prescribed for patients with high blood pressure (hypertension). It is used to treat chest pain (angina) related to coronary artery disease.
Nadolol is a beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agent that primarily blocks the action of the sympathetic nervous system on the heart. It works by reducing the heart rate and the force of contractions of the heart's muscle, thereby lowering blood pressure.
Angina occurs when the heart's need for oxygen exceeds the supply of oxygen. By slowing the heart rate and decreasing the force of muscle contractions, nadolol reduces the demand of the heart's muscle for oxygen and thereby prevents angina.
Brand Name(s): Corgard; Corzide
CAS nº: 42200-33-9
