Auto Oxidation of Glutathione and its Relevance to IV Use
Dr. Paul S. Anderson
This is an incredibly common issue in the assay of GSH-GSSG in lab testing so the mechanisms are well described. In-vitro (i.e. in the IV syringe or bag) this phenomenon happens even faster than in plasma or tissue samples when additives are introduced due to lack of in-vivo enzymes. So protecting the GSH from the pharmacy until infusion is important. (Yes, one can infuse GSSG but then glutathione reductase has to work even harder).
Below are some of the many discussions with clinical chemists regarding the procedures they have to go through to diminish auto oxidation of GSH to GSSG (there are hundreds as it is a common technical issue).
So when preparing an IV it is best to dilute it with sterile water or saline as neither has an oxidizing component. Trace elements, most B-Vitamins etc. will auto-oxidize GSH on contact. If infusing it in a water or saline diluent it remains mainly GSH and then can enter the plasma where it has the best chance of having a higher GSH to GSSG ratio until delivery to target tissue.
One of the many papers on "auto-oxidation of GSH" and an attempt to mitigate this laboratory finding comes from Curello et.al. Reiterating the perpetual lab issue of "reduced glutathione in plasma undergoes spontaneous autoxidation, with mixed disulfide formation" and then describing the lengths one must go to not have this happen. [Curello, et.al CLINICAL CHEMISTRY, Vol. 33, No. 8, 1987]
CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: So if it is this difficult for clinical chemists why in IV preparation would one purposefully auto-oxidize that costly GSH you are about to infuse?
More lab nerd information below for flavor:
From Prof. Alan Slusarenko: RWTH Aachen University
We use Ellman's reagent in a glutathione reductase based recycling assay to measure glutathione. Here is an extract from Gruhlke et al. FRBM 49:1916-1924 (2010): Glutathione levels were determined using a standard enzymatic recycling assay based on glutathione reductase (GR) [54, modified by 55]. Glutathione (GSH) was sequentially oxidized to glutathione disulfide (GSSG) by 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB, Merck) and reduced by NADPH (AppliChem) in the presence of GR. The rate of 2-nitro-5-thiobenzoic acid formation was monitored at 412 nm and the total glutathione present read off from a standard curve prepared using GSH (AppliChem). In any given sample the assay can be rendered to reflect only GSSG levels by utilising 2-vinylpyridine to remove GSH from the GSSG /2GSH couple [54]. The system was calibrated using standard curves prepared with GSH and GSSG purchased from AppliChem and GR from Sigma (E 3664). Under the test conditions used the detection limit for GSH was 1.25 µg mL-1.
[54] Griffith, O. W. Determination of glutathione and glutathione disulfide using glutathione reductase and 2-vinylpyridine. Anal. Biochem. 106:207-212; 1980.
[55] Anderson, M. E. Determination of glutathione and glutathione disulfide in biological samples. Methods Enzymol. 113:548-555; 1985.
There are many methods to estimate glutathione but we like this one because its specific and sensitive and since it is an enzyme-based assay, you get a good feeling for what is going on by seeing that the enzyme kinetics are behaving as they should.

The value of a cold storage room to a professional kitchen or commercial food company cannot be understated.
It's a critical component of any business that deals with raw food or ingredients, and you'll need to do absolutely everything in your power to make sure that the cold storage area in your business is working properly around the clock.
Not only should all of the critical systems that control and monitor temperature be tuned and maintained regularly, but you also need to do everything you can to keep the temperatures in these rooms or areas even as well.
And that usually means installing the right doors – well insulated and perfectly fit doors – that trap cool temperatures in the cold storage space while keeping warm temperatures out.
With our help, that isn't ever going to be a problem.
Here are just some of the door options that we make available to our customers (with custom fabrication and installation services available as well).
Designed to effortlessly (and quickly) flip open and then flap closed just as soon as you come through the doors themselves, these see through options are going to help you easily maintain temperatures inside of your cold storage space while also providing effortless access to your cold storage space, too.
For busy kitchens or commercial enterprises, there simply isn't a better option than these flip flap doors, that's for sure.
These automatic sliding doors are also a great option for those in busy kitchens or commercial spaces, but especially those that don't have extra room for doors to swing open or closed (one way or another).
It's going to be easy to maintain temperatures in your cold storage space down to -5 degrees Celsius with these doors properly installed, and because the single or dual blade setup will open and close on command you won't have to worry about any temperatures leaking.
Durable, easy to clean, and effortless to maintain, you should be able to get decades of use out of these doors without any trouble at all (so long as they have been installed by professionals like the ones that we employ).
Service Doors
Doors designed to (you guessed it) provide service from the inside – or the outside – of the cold storage space you're working with, these doors are going to make life a lot easier for the people that will be using the cold storage space most often.
Made out of insulated materials and double hinged for service, it's easy to divide cold storage space and filter out loud sounds with these doors.
All of these doors are capable of effortlessly dividing different spaces inside of storage units as well, thanks to the hygienic and sterilisation properties that they have built right in.
Though these doors aren't see through (or even semi-transparent) they can be used in a high speed food service area all the same.
These hinged doors have been designed and engineered from the ground up to maintain positive temperatures without any difficulty at all, and come in both right hand open and left hand open configurations.
As close to the "standard door" as you're going to find in the cold storage space industry, these doors are heavy duty and well insulated for sure.
Made out of the highest quality construction materials available (and with special attention paid to the hinge system so that there's no temperature loss there, either), these are doors that look and feel solid in the hand – and that's because they are!
Obviously, you're going to have a whole host of choices to pick and select from when it comes to setting up your cold storage with new doors. Hopefully you'll call on us to help you not only find the right doors for your needs, but to also handle the heavy lifting of properly installing them for you as well!

That awful touchpad that Cadillac has used to navigate their CUE infotainment system appears dead. Here's the interior shot of the 2019 CT6 V-Sport they released today:
See, that's a knob! A real life knob!! No touchpad in sight!
As for the rest of the car, I think it looks great. Definitely see the Escala in the design. If every Caddy will look like this, then they might be on to something.

Bullying is not something to laugh about. It is also not just an event that you can easily stop once seen. Bullying is detrimental both to the one doing the bullying and the one being bullied. They are not normal for kids and even to adults. It is not like buying cheap website traffic wherein everything will be okay after resolving that particular incident. You have to monitor the growth of both sides of the bullying and see if their problems have been resolved. It is only through constant care and therapy can both situations be alleviated.
What Are the Types of Bullying?
Physical Bullying
This is the most common type of bullying that occurs in most schools and universities. Children who resolve to physical bullying tend to give physical hurt to students and classmates every day until the kid being bullied gives up. This is very dangerous because kids have the cleanest minds in the world. You can program it with goodness or you can program it with evil and bullying. For the one bullying, this tells himself that it is okay for someone to bully another person. It is also allowed to physically hurt someone if you are bigger and stronger than anybody else. For the person being bullied, he will always feel threatened and harmed.
Verbal Bullying
Verbal bullying is a kind of bullying wherein no physical hurt is present but the words being uttered toward another person hurts deep into the heart and the mind of the other person. This usually occurs in the office and schools as well. Our website visitors can attest to the fact that most people are not aware that they are being a bully to someone else. He may just say that he is just telling the truth. Unknowingly, he is already bullying his seatmate, his colleague, or even his friend.
Social Bullying
This is more difficult to recognize on the mere fact that it is covert or done in secret. Someone may be spreading rumors against another person. Some may be telling nasty jokes against other people. Even encouraging someone to exclude another person from your group is a kind of social bullying.

Top 5 DJ Mixing App For iOS & iphone ipad
Top 5 DJ Mixing App For iOS & iphone ipad. In this post, we going to show you five useful iPhone and ipad apps to DJ. find out which ones those are good for you. so the first piece of software we have up is algorithm DJ prothis is one of the first DJ software's that was out for iOS for both iPad and iPhone.
this software has a bunch of hardware support a bunch of controllers that you can purchase usually most of them are budget controllers. so if you're just getting into DJing you can grab a controller for cheap, grab this software and you're good to go. also if you're just on the go so you're at a party or something or you know awkward DJing in the whip with your friends. you can play with just your iPhone or your ipad. A pretty good piece of software super solid for DJing has a bunch of features that you would need for DJing. all the usual stuff effects key. so great piece of software be sure to check it out. check here
Next up we have pioneer DJ weDJ the mobile app that accompanies their controllers again like algorithm DJ before it you can just DJ without the controller and just this piece of software pioneer makes crazy good controllers as well as the software works perfectly with the the controllers you get great effects pioneer level effects features like pad control for cue points effects etc loops a lot of the features that you would see on a pioneer controller you get within just the software so if you have an iPad this is a great piece of software they just released for iPhone recently.
Great piece of software I would say the iPad version is a little bit better but you can get by with just the iOS version for iPhone if you're in a pinch or you're just on the go so another great piece of DJ software to stay with the whole pioneer DJ live.
we got going on the next few software is Record box now this you can't actually DJ with what . this is good for is either for two things you can throw a bunch of songs on your iPhone and prepare them while you're on the go say you're like on the subway or on the bus or train or something like that and you need to just have some time to kill you need something to do you can throw all the songs that you haven't analyzed yet in record box on your computer throw them on your phone go ahead and analyze them on your phone set your cue points set your loops set your beat grid and you're good to go you can transfer them back to your computer and then onto a flash drive and you're good to go that way or the second way to use the software is you can actually just prepare your phone the way you would prepare a record box flash drive.
iPhones now have over a hundred gigabytes of storage. you can have basically a whole flash drive full of song fully prepared plug your phone right into the deck and use your phone just like you would use a flash drive . you can think of it as one less thing to carry or the way . is have a couple backup tracks on your phone at all times . you have an emergency backup of something good .forbid happen to your flash drive and your backup flash drive hopefully you have one of those you have your phone with record box on it that you can plug in and you're good to go.
the next piece of software is from turntables – is table beats this is a looper which basically means a bunch of instrumentals a bunch of loops from tons of great producers a bunch of producers that I actually now shout out to all the homies out there that have contributed to table beats this got really popular with the whole portable n't as you can see in these photos so just having a portable turntable going into a speaker and having your phone out with a loop or going so just endless beats for endless cut sessions and this cue is and what's great about this software is they keep adding more beats to it so once you get to download you're not just stuck with whatever beats are available at the time they keep adding on and keep adding even more tracks and all those songs on here are pretty dope a lot of great stuff to cut too and there's going to be even more great stuff to cut to in the future.
the last piece of software is not necessarily DJ related its native instruments iMaschine is more of a production software but I would say the majority of DJ's out there have at least dabbled in production this is probably one of the easiest and I think one of the best production software on iOS and what's great about this is you can start constructing a beat on your phone and then save it and once you get home.
if you have a iMASCHINE 2 for your laptop you can go ahead and plug your phone in sync it grabs the song that you started while you're away from home and finish it on the actual computer. so it's a great way to get ideas get sketches for beats. I'm sure there's plenty of you out there that produce that are like me where you have a bunch of ideas flowing through your head but you're not by your computer you're not in the studio so this is a great way to just get those ideas out and get them down before you forget them so those are five best music DJ software.

A Horizon 2020-funded project named E-Ferry will launch an electric drive train ferry service this summer, connecting a Danish island to the mainland.
E-Ferry launched in 2015, and received €15m in funding from the EU's Horizon 2020 framework programme, to develop an electric drive train ferry service which could connect the island of Ærø to the Danish mainland. Depending on the route used, this journey is around ten nautical miles long, more than twice the distances currently seen by electric ferries.
The project's first electric ferry is set to launch this summer, and takes advantage of advances in the development of electric batteries. The ferry can travel 22 miles without needing to be topped up, and will initially make seven trips per day. It will charge for around 20 minutes between journeys as the ferry is loaded with cars.
The ferry also utilises slow charging overnight, which allows it to reach full capacity before it re-enters service the next morning.
What have the project's stakeholders said?
Dr Trine Heinemann, who is based on Ærø and is co-ordinator for the project, told Horizon: The EU Research and Innovation Magazine that decarbonising the ferry was an important contribution to combating climate change for the island to make. She said: "[The island's only] connection to the mainland is passenger ferry, so I think there's a local interest in trying to reduce emissions from that."
The development of an electric drive train ferry service comes at a vital time for efforts to decarbonise the maritime sector in Europe, and around the world.
How will the project impact the maritime sector?
The International Maritime Organization's (IMO) member states recently voted to approve a new greenhouse gas emissions strategy to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the shipping sector, with a view to achieving zero emissions by 2050.
Further, an Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development report published last month explored strategies for reducing CO2 emissions in shipping in light of the expected contents of the IMO's proposal, which had not yet been agreed. It found that strong policy support and innovation could facilitate the introduction of zero-carbon shipping as soon as 2035.

An update from yesterday's post where Duterte was naming and shaming the United States for cutting off weapons sales.
'[America] won't sell weapons? We have lots of explosives here already'
Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte has suggested he may turn to Russia to provide his country with weapons, after the US government reportedly blocked the sale of assault rifles to police in the Philippines.
Thelle US state department recently halted the sale of 26,000 rifles due to concerns over Mr Duterte's violent war on drugs in which thousands have been kid without trial, according to Reuters.
"They are blackmailing me, saying that they won't sell weapons? We have lots of explosives here already," Mr Duterte told CNN Philippines.
"I remember what the Russian diplomat said: Come to Russia, we have anything you need here."
In October, Russia's ambassador to the Philippines said Moscow was ready to discuss a partnership with the Philippines, after Mr Duterte announced his country was "separating" from the United States.
"Formulate your wish list," Igor Khovaev told Mr Duterte according to GMA news agency. "Think of what kind of assistance you expect from Russia and we will be ready to sit down with you and discuss what can and should be done."
Speaking during a state visit to Beijing last month, Mr Duterte said: "I announce my separation from the United States. Both in military, not maybe social, but economics also. America has lost."
During his China visit, Mr Duterte announced he believed "America has lost" and said he would "go to Russia to talk to Putin and tell him that there are three of us against the world – China, Philippines and Russia".

In Ferguson, Missouri, tensions flared once again on Saturday over the fatal shooting of a black man by a white police officer.
Multiple smoke canisters were fired to disperse protesters, still angry over the killing of 18-year-old Michael Brown on August 9.
A state of emergency was declared in the town and an overnight curfew was impose after several local stores were looted.
Many shopkeepers took steps to protect their businesses by boarding up their shop windows while Missouri governor Jay Nixon defended his curfew decision.
"This is not to silence the people of Ferguson or this region or others, but to contain those who are drowning out the voice of the people with their actions. We will not allow a handful of looters to endanger the rest of this community," said Nixon.
The shooter, officer Darren Wilson, has no previous disciplinary record and has been with the Ferguson Police Department for six years.
But Brown's killing has mobilised the African-American community in the town, who have long complained of racial profiling.
Malik Shabazz, National President of Black Lawyers For Justice who led a protest on Saturday said:
"We are going to make sure that the message that officer Darren Wilson must be indicted and brought to justice right away."
Figures from UCLA's Center of Policing Equity suggest an overwhelming majority of stop and search incidents carried out by police in Ferguson targeted blacks.
Almost three quarters of African Americans in the US say they've been unfairly treated by police, according to the Pew research centre.

Sweet, 8 cylinder mode did the trick! The tach in MS is now within ~120RPM of whatever the Kat tach says. Revs much smoother and now will go above 6000rpm. Todays plan is to take it for a ride, come back and resync the throttles, then maybe go for another short ride with the laptop in the backpack. Of course its the 4th so the emissions place and DMV are closed but I might be able to get a temp tag. If not then tuning will have to wait and I'll have to stick to parking lots again. I hate arizona sometimes. It's so hot out, and just to **** me off we are the ONLY state in the US to require emissions testing for bikes.

Mini update, tomorrow I need to get a USB extension cable so the MS can reach the laptop while its in a backpack. The tune is still really rough, especially after leaning it out for emissions. It'll pull strong up to 7000RPM where it starts coughing and choking, but now the throttle response is pretty bad. Still isnt bad for never having the tuning software running while riding.
Alright, got a nice long usb cable and took a ride with the laptop. Rode around for a good few miles while datalogging, and got some good info out of it. I gunned it hard and got it up to about 9500 rpm but it was coughing the whole time above 7500. Logs show it peaked at 21:1 AFR!! That explains quite a bit.
In the logging software theres a mode to analyze the VE tables vs the actual logged AFR and correct as needed. I ran that mode just now and it made some massive corrections. Of course, somehow its raining right now (even though it was over 105* an hour ago..) so I cant play with it anymore today. Looking forward to tomorrow though.
Few updates just to let you guys know I'm still here.
I got my license after passing the MSF course yesterday, so now I can try it out on freeways. The bike is still an epic ***** to start. Cold starts and hot starts need completely different settings and I'm having trouble getting them to work correctly. Without a CTS I have to manually put it in "first start mode" and it adds more fuel. This works fine for a true cold start but it doesnt like when the engine is warm but not hot. I'm getting closer, though I still keep jumper cables in the backpack just in case...
You'd see much more progress but its so damn hot here (and humid now too) that I just can't bring myself to work on any of my projects during the day. Stupid Arizona. I can't wait for winter.
Anyway, apart from hard starting I have zero complaints about the system. I'll keep updating as I progress.
Edit: I forgot to mention what first start mode actually is. Its a "carburatorism" of sorts, like a choke. You turn the ignition on, and pump the throttle 3 times before hitting the start button and MS will multiply the cranking fuel by an adjustable percentage. This could be done away with by using an oil temp sensor wired into the coolant temp input on MS.Last edited by TheSteve; 07-26-2008, 05:41 PM.

Thanks for the updates! Looks like it's going in the right direction. Congrats on the MSF course.
Alright, chapter 3 is here: Tuning!
I finally got everything running well enough to take her on the freeway. Still wont ****ing start on its own half the time, but
thats another issue for another day. Prior to today I wasnt about to get autotune or anything like that working correctly. Looking
at the logs I was getting pretty bad tach spikes above 2000rpm. Heres a screenshot from an old log showing this:
Note how you can see the rpm changing rapidly here (over 2000rpm/sec). Clearly this isnt really happening, as the bike wouldnt be
rideable. On the megasquirt-n-spark extra forums (alternative firmware that I'm using) I found a schematic to increase the
accuracy of the HEI tach input. ***Had to remove a diode, resistor, and jumper and connect a new resistor elsewhere.*** Now the tach
is perfectly clean. I have no idea why the signal was so dirty, but either way it confused the hell out of MS at higher RPM. Here is
the "fixed" signal of a different ride:
So heres what we're working with:
The actual tuning of the bikes AFR is done here at the VE table. The numbers are percentages representing how much of the
air/gas mixture actually fills the cylinders. So a 600cc engine at 50% VE is only getting 300ccs of air/gas in the motor in one
cycle. The vertical axis is the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) reading and shows engine vacuum in KPA. 100 KPA is about equal
to atmospheric air pressure at sea level. The horizontal axis is the RPM. So when you open the throttle the engine vacuum drops
to zero (or MAP rises to 100, same thing).
This is the Target AFR table. You tell MS what AFR numbers you want and it tries to hit them by adjusting injection pulsewidths.
This is ONLY useful if you have a wideband. Narrowbands only say "richer than 14.7" or "leaner than 14.7" and they cannot tell the
MS any more than that. With a narrowband system you aim to get fast oscilations between too rich and too lean on the O2
sensor. If youre constantly going between the two a few times a second, your mixture is pretty much dead on. However running
14.7 afr at redline is likely going to melt a piston or two. So no narrowbands for WOT tuning.
This is the MegaLogViewer. It graphs data that Megatune logs while riding, dyno testing, etc. In the main screen you see the 3
graphs showing whatever data you select. To the right you see the VE table for this log. Below the VE table is the AFR target
table again.
Clicking the VE Analyzer button brings you here, where the program checks every record in the log (over 8000 on this 15 minute
ride) and compares the recorded AFR to the target AFR. If they dont match, a new value for the VE table is suggested based on
the "on target" sections of the logs and some math I dont care to explain. It actually works pretty well. This will only be the third
time I've run the analyzer and even after two the bike is perfectly rideable. The only hard part came from the fact that the built in
calculator in megatune didnt like the high redline of the Kat, so I had to draw the initial table from a blind guess.
Thats about it, actually. Tuning an MS system like this is pretty much datalog (ride), analyze tables, burn to the ECU, repeat until
satisfied. With my other projects tuning is a little bit easier. In megatune theres a feature called Autotune, and it runs in real time
instead of going off logs. It's also a little safer to use in that you can see if you go crazily lean since the laptop is sitting on the
passenger seat. You might be able to get it to work with the laptop in the backpack as well, but I didn't want to try it without
being able to see the screen. Heres what it looks like if you want to try that route instead.
Now I just have to get it to start every time. I need an oil temp sensor, but I'm not sure how to do it. I'm thinking about maybe
just gluing one to the outside of the oil pan as I'd rather not drill and tap the aluminum pan. I could also see if I could attach it to
the hot side of the oil cooler but there might be some lag time until it warms up with hot oil being pumped through. Sorry for all
the huge pics, in low res you probably wouldnt be able to see the details. Let me know if you have any questions.Last edited by TheSteve; 08-22-2008, 06:07 PM.
Forgot to mention, if anyone wants a copy of the entire log file to look at just let me know and I'll post it up. The logging software is available for free.
Is there a way to run those logs off of a carb, or is it just for an MS system? Here's another question, any ideah what the difference would be for putting the injectors on a Post Kat as opposed to a Pre? Or should I just leave it alone and find a Gixxer to play with.
The engine is 99% the same on a post, so I would think fitting the throttle bodies would be about the same. The only forseable difference is the throttle cable. And I think you'd have more room to work with under the seat for placing the MS box.
Theres sort of a way to log with carbs. With the wideband, it comes with software to log directly onto a computer (no MS required). The hard part would be assigning a tach and throttle position to the log as well. Just logging the AFR over time would be easy, but pretty pointless since you dont know whats happening at that exact moment in time. A better idea might be to buy the LC-1 package that comes with an AFR gauge. You could mount the gauge to the handlebars and just try to remember where the rich and lean spots are.
The hard part really isnt getting an AFR log, its in the other two signals. While the post does have a TPS from the factory it might be hard to tie into the logging software that comes with the wideband. Same for the tach.
Check that out. It looks like the TPS and RPM should be able to be adapted to the logging software pretty easily. I'd advise shopping around a little bit, you might be able to find a better price.
Steve, I know your fuel rail doesn't leak, but is there a standard NPT tap and union that could use there? I have no idea what the ID on the GSXR fuel rail is.
Also, the oil pressure dummy light sensor should be a good place to tap into for a temp sensor. All you'd need is some kind of T fitting and put the dummy light sensor on one end and the temp sensor on the other.
Good idea, dumb idea??

As for a fitting on the fuel rail, I'm not quite sure. The ID is very small. Probably about a quarter inch or less.The OD is a more reasonable size for an adapter but youd have to grind it perfectly smooth for a metal adapter to seal correctly.

dang man..... that looks like a ton of work but its SWEET..... cant wait to hear the final conclusions on it all when its totally done and see what its like...THE EMAIL BANDIT
F4 I stunted out
Cbr900 (low and stretched)
MK III Jetta VR6 TURBO.....
Previously 93 Katana 750....
Standard NPT tap sizes are .250 NPT and .190 (or #10) NPT.
You could also drill and tap the ID out to whatever size is next up on the chart, like a 3/8 or 5/16 NPT. Maybe something to do in the down time. I'm just a little leary of heater hose as an HP fuel line, for safety sake.

The DKR Engineering team to race in the Le Mans 24 Hours
Due to the Gulf Racing Middle East team withdrawing their No. 29 LM P2 entry, the DKR Engineering bumps up to an official entry for the 2013 24 Hours of Le Mans race.
Following the withdrawal of the Gulf Racing Middle East no. 29 from the 2013 Le Mans 24 Hours, it will be replaced on the grid by the team from Luxembourg, DKR Engineering.
The Gulf Racing Middle East team had entered two cars for the 2013 Le Mans 24 Hours in the LM P2 category. After the withdrawal of no. 29 only no. 28 driven by Frenchman Fabien Giroix remains in the running.
In compliance with the ACO regulations the place left vacant by the United Arab Emirates squad's defection will be allocated to the first car on the list of LM P reserves.
Thus, the DKR Engineering team's Lola B11/40-Judd joins the entrants invited to take part in the Le Mans 24 Hours on 22-23 June. The first driver announced is Olivier Porta from France.
This does not change the number of entrants (22) in LM P2 at the Le Mans 24 Hours, making it the category with the highest number of cars out of the 56 present. There is now only one car left on each of the reserve lists in LM P and LM GTE.

This morning I was treated to a morning of fragrance and beauty at the Victoria's Secret Valentine's Beauty Preview and Gifting Suite at the Four Season's hotel in San Francisco. The elegant suite was strewn with gorgeous spring flowers and several of Victoria Secret's beauty collections. Before today I wasn't too familiar with Victoria Secret's beauty line-up. I must admit I was impressed at the variety of products, quality and well-designed packaging. I will be revealing more fab finds from this go-to resource for beauty and fragrance in the upcoming weeks.
Today I will be sharing a few of my favorite picks for Valentine's gifting. I am always out scouting interesting and fun new products and here are four picks for Valentine's Day.
All girls have their naughty and nice sides. Perhaps it depends on the day, the occasion or the event? These beauty collections from Victoria's Secret speak to the rebel and romantic in all of us. Love Rocks pays tribute to your inner wild at heart, while the Tease for Two appeals to a softer and sweeter side. Both are perfectly appropriate for gifting or receiving.
You have seen the moto-inspired trends all over the runways. Think leather Balmain motorcycle jackets, Pierre Hardy boots and Alexander Wang's studded Coco duffel. Karl Lagerfeld even outfitted a custom Chanel motorcycle. A fresh take on this trend is the Victoria's Secret Love Rocks Eau de Parfum (1.7 oz., $39). Fit for a rebel who is also a romantic at heart, this scent is a fruity floral giving off top notes of Bergamot, Peony and Raspberry sorbet. Middle notes includes scents of Sandalwood flower, Jasmine, Peach nectar, and Plum. The Love Rocks eau de parfum is bottled in a striking red lacquer bottle and the atomizer is accessorized with a black leather rosette. Another item from this collection that caught my eye is the super sweet Love Rocks Lip Gloss Ring ($12), it opens up to a little pot of sheer cherry red lip gloss and the word "Rocks" inscribed inside.
These gifts are for indulging your romantic side and sharing with another. A wearable and edible treat, from the Tease for Two collection, the Vanilla Craving Edible Shimmer Powder ($15) can be dusted on your décolleté for a pretty glimmer and nibbled off later. It is very delicate and is lightly scented, doesn't leave a harsh metallic glimmer like some shimmering body powders. Also perfect for Valentine's most intimate moments is the Kissable Massage Oil ($15)…the perfect ending to a romantic evening.

The Vallarta Yacht Club will be sponsoring their second annual fundraising event for the Junior Sailing Program. The theme is Fiesta Cubana and will be held Saturday, November 23rd at 6:00 pm after the first day of Races of the traditional "Regata de la Revolucion."
This event generally draws fantastic prizes and auction and raffle items donated by many generous companies from the community, and is a great opportunity to socialize with friends while drinking, dancing, eating and bidding! Dinner plus drink tickets are on sale now at the Vallarta Yacht Club located at the Paradise Village Marina in Nuevo Vallarta.
Adult ticket is 300 pesos and children 12 and under ticket is 150 pesos for Authentic Cuban food and fun. Raffle tickets will be sold on-site and drink tickets are 20 pesos each or 5 for 100. Of course, the drink of the night will be Mojitos, but full bar service will be open. A Cuban salsa dance show and Cuban music will be provided throughout the evening.
Net proceeds from the event will go to financing scholarships and equipment to the Junior Sailing Program. One out of six children in the program is under a sailing scholarship program for which a 8.5 GPA is required, along with excellent conduct reports and a recommendation, and above all a great a desire to sail.
The Junior Sailing Program at the Vallarta Yacht Club is the ONLY Yacht Club in the country that does not oblige youngsters to provide their own equipment. Donations and proceeds from Fundraiser dinner event allow sailing to become available. Along the way children gain self-confidence and pride in their accomplishments while learning life skills such as decision making, team work and developing character, knowledge and love for the sea.
The VYC instructors are top ranked and every year their VYC Junior sailors attend the National Sailing Circuit Regattas in which the best qualify for the Mexican National team who represents the country in the most prestigious international events such as the Optimist North and South American Championships and the Opti Worlds.
The live and silent auctions include fantastic ticket items such as weekend getaways, dinner for two at Vallarta's finest restaurants, extreme adventure and sailing cruises on the bay. Probably the best though are the mother's fresh baked items – a nostalgic indulgence! and the children's masterpiece t-shirts that each child has created under the theme "My World of Sailing" to exhibit their view of the world as a sailor. Also, the children will be preparing a video of their sailing experience for you from cameras that they will place on their boats and windsurf boards.
This Fundraiser is open to people of all ages and it's a great opportunity for those interesting in the sport of sailing. Any questions welcome and can be directed to Rudy Trejo at the Vallarta Yacht Club (322) 297-2222, email@example.com.
Because we cannot do it without you, come to the Junior Sailing Fundraiser!
This event has been traditionally organized by the parents of the Vallarta Yacht Club Junior Sailing Program, who are very involved in the developing in youth sailing in Bahia de Banderas as well as in the individual growth of their own children, using the discipline of the Sport of Sailing as a tool raising independent resilient children.
We invite you to add your charity or supporting organizations' news stories and coming events to PVAngels so we can share them with the world. Do it now!
If you would like to donate directly to the non-profits in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit, here are some suggestions you may want to consider to help our local communities in this time of greatest need.

So much of our lives make little sense to our biological selves.
Commuting, sitting indoors, typing away on a computer screen for 40+ hours per week, resting two days per week and working the other five. It's all strange for humans.
It makes sense because it's all we know, but if we could start over, we wouldn't design it like this. It seems to have happened to us slowly, but surely.
The same goes for something like education. It's quite unnatural to learn by staying in the same building 180 days out of the year, working with the same people from the same place learning the same thing as they learned last year.
Again, if we could start over, we wouldn't design the current system. We probably wouldn't come up with anything even close to it.
On a meta level, the same is true for the system that perpetuates all other systems. If the general public can all identify broken components, why are they not being fixed? Why is there deadlock in government? If everyone elected has the best interests of the country, why is it impossible to do anything bold?
We've created and perpetuated an inhuman and unnatural world. The worst part is, there seems to be no way forward.

Low Carb Chocolate Almond Butter Fat Bombs (Halloween Edition) | Healthy Snack Ideas
Check THIS Out!
So, were you pleased with the Low Carb Chocolate Almond Butter Fat Bombs video? I hope so! I liked sharing it. If you ask me, it looks pretty delicious!
All that aside, it's great to have you here at Live Well Corner! My name is Marc Gil . You being here makes me pretty happy. I really love checking out delicious-looking, fat-loss recipe videos. Nice to have a partner in crime. 🙂
If the Low Carb Chocolate Almond Butter Fat Bombs video really did do it for you, you may want to consider taking a look at my additional Low Carb recipe shares on this site. I'd love for you to stay a while!
Additionally, if you'd like to be alerted whenever I share new recipe, diet, and fitness videos, then go ahead and click on the image below. As you can see, you'll also receive a FREE copy of 19 Delicious & Easy Keto Lunch Recipes as a thank-you gift.
Here's where you want to go…
Let's chat…
Clearly, there are many diet plans in the world. Choosing one diet over another can be a daunting task.
Therefore, once you've committed to a diet, and it's time to start menu planning, you want to avoid looking outside of your chosen diet for meal options. Wavering could be detrimental to your weight loss success. It may just have you returning to the starting line.
It's really a good idea to build up a diet-focused recipe library on your computer or device. So you'd want to compile videos ONLY related to raw-food veganism, if that happens to be your chosen diet plan.
The importance of this cannot be overstated.
In the past, I've definitely hopped from one thing to the next… like crazy. The reason for this is actually quite simple…
Food and drinks that one diet permits, another, seemingly equally legitimate program will banish. I mean, it's still officially "diet food," even if it's not your diet… right? And one thing is clear… Cooking videos are usually unbelievably irresistible. 😉
Choose a lifestyle that you're thrilled to stick with. That's how long-term results will be achieved. At the end of the day, eating healthy foods and not going into a crazy caloric surplus may be enough to help you reach your goals.
Seems pretty logical, really. Put the right amounts of the right fuel into your body, and reap the rewards of a healthy body and physique. This is especially true if our activity levels are relatively high.
No doubt that this is conventional wisdom. There's probably good reason for this!
Even still, if you're trying to stick to a particular plan, you may want to stay the course. Many diets put more of an emphasis on macro-nutrient ratios. It could be detrimental to your results to stray from your diet's particular ratio.
Keep your eye on the prize! Don't stray.
I Think You Should Do This…
Come see me over at the Low Carb recipes category page right here on the site. Explore the great videos I've already compiled for you.
Then, ensure quick and easy future access to each of your favorite recipes by simply bookmarking them in your browser. Add them to a whole new folder labeled "Low carb Recipes," or something else that you'll remember.
And if you haven't already, stay in the loop by signing up to my weight loss newsletter. I'll also be sharing tons of pretty great fat loss tools and strategies that may help you to reach your goals a lot faster!

We are working towards a sustainable future, empowering our diverse talent to lead this agenda.
Our people provide the foundations for our continued success. In the last 12 months we grew significantly: Turner & Townsend now employs more than 6,100 people, and as we expand, we are offering more opportunities around the world.
We continue to diversify our teams, recognising this is not only the right thing to do but it also provides us with a range of perspectives to help our business to thrive. We are promoting a wide range of people at every level and have set a target to reach a 40:60 split of women and men across our workforce by 2025.
We have also made great progress in localising our talent. By training local teams and leaders, we are reflecting the customs and practices of the communities in which we work, ensuring we offer the same quality service across the world.
The wellbeing of our people continues to be a key focus. We are training mental health first aiders to identify issues early and help colleagues navigate challenging situations.
We continue to invest in our apprentice and graduate programmes. Our programme for recent university leavers has grown in all our regions and we are increasingly attracting people from non-construction backgrounds, including school leavers. We recognise that a range of experiences and perspectives are vital when encouraging innovation and strengthening teams.
We are committed to social mobility, removing barriers and raising aspirations among groups who are most removed from opportunity.
This year, we launched our #TT5000futures initiative, seeking to improve the lives of 5,000 children and young people across the globe through our education and employment initiatives. Through this, we hope to inspire the next generation to join our industry, addressing our growing skills gap.
In the USA, we increased our involvement in Year Up – a year-long paid position for underrepresented groups. In Asia, we launched a partnership with Habitat for Humanity, adopting a rural school in Indonesia, while in Europe our involvement with JINC, the youth employability charity in the Netherlands, continues to grow.
Our UK business raised £150,000 for Action for Children for the second year in a row and we have reached 1,000 children since our partnership with the National Literacy Trust launched last year.
These initiatives are only made possible by the generosity of our people; nearly a third of whom have collectively given 8,000 hours of their time, while many more have donated funds to a range of charities, enabling us to reach more than 6,000 children and young people across the globe.
We recognise that the root causes of inequality differ across the globe. As a result, we tailor our responses to local need. We commenced our reconciliation journey in Australia this year to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land, and our approach to Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) in South Africa continues to mature.
Working on innovative projects like Virgin Hyperloop One, we are proud to be a part of forward-thinking programmes that are tackling society's biggest issues.
In addition, we are increasingly supporting clients with sustainable solutions. Our lean construction advisory services continue to grow, as does our work in renewable energy worldwide. We are also unlocking the sustainability benefits of Building Information Modelling while collaborating across supply chains to achieve the highest sustainability standards.
Our various industry memberships, including the RICS and Constructing Excellence among others, enable us to lead the latest industry thinking and our people have been involved in discussions at the very highest level. Vincent Clancy continues to lead the export and trade working group for the Construction Leadership Council. The industry must have the ear of government in order to work well with the public sector, which is why Patricia Moore's work on the department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) advisory panel has been so vital.
In order to help our society to overcome its biggest challenges, we are building a platform for growth by empowering our people, partnering with our clients and leading industry debate. We know that tackling the world's biggest challenges cannot be done in silos nor incrementally. As a result, we will continue to build a culture where all our people feel empowered to lead and collaborate at an industry level to drive real change.

SA Cup #4
Luke Moir wins the fourth round of the Western Cape Provincial Series. This Silverback athlete is currently training towards his upcoming international races.
Luke's strategy for the provincial race was to race as fast as possible from the gun. His aim was to catch up with the Elite riders who started 2 minutes in front of him.
Riding the Silverback STRATOS SBC, Luke pushed hard throughout the race.
SA Cup #3
The 2019 SA CUP #3 kicked off in Bloemfontein on Saturdays the 20th March 2019.
'I been looking forward to racing the Silverback Stratos at this race for a while. The track was super rough, dusty, rocky and technical' said Luke Moir after winning the 3rd round of the SA National Series at Happy Valley in Bloemfontein on the weekend.
Luke managed to take the lead on the first lap with a crazy overtaking manoeuvre on a rock drop and never looked back. He pushed the Stratos on the downhills, gaining a few seconds every lap. The win solidifies Luke's leading position in the National Series with three races to come.
'I am proud to be riding this bike, it not only looks the part but rides so well, I am feeling really fast on it' says Luke.
Luke travels to Windhoek Namibia this coming weekend for a Junior World Series Race. Thereafter he will be representing South Africa at the African Continental Championships. This race will be held the following weekend at the same venue.

As useful as pallets are in the handling, transportation and distribution of materials, they are equally essential in the efficient placement and storage of palletized goods. What's so interesting for warehouse owners and inventory managers is the ultimate versatility of pallet rack systems.
The components of most pallet racks are its uprights, which are usually made from steel. These are combined with beams that serve as support for the decking and the materials that will be stored there. In this manner, the length and height of the storage bays, along with the general size and weight of the goods, help determine both the layout of the system and the strength required for its uprights and beams.
Along with the weight classification of the uprights — such as light- or heavy-duty — there's also a mechanism for locking in the decking to the uprights. Many warehouses with a large selection of SKUs will employ a variety of decking materials, from open cantilevered supports to solid and wire decking.
Pallet Racking Benefits
The benefits of pallet racking are numerous, but nothing is as important to your business as the efficient handling and movement of your inventory. A properly chosen and installed pallet rack system supports the type of distribution center it's installed in. By reducing the time spent loading, unloading and picking palletized goods, pallet racking becomes an integral part of a warehouse's design.
If your business is expanding, it's also crucial to think ahead to ensure the choice and variety of pallet racks are right for the goods you'll be storing and handling. Of course, one of the other significant benefits of pallet racking is its versatility. That's why, with a little forethought and the advice of our storage equipment experts at McCall Handling, your choice of a pallet rack system has the potential to meet your storage needs for years to come.
What's more, so long as the steel components of the racking system are not damaged or exposed to corrosive substances or harsh weather, they have the ability to last for a long time. Just be sure to conduct regular visual safety inspections to check for signs of corrosion as a result of weather exposure, as well as any damage caused by forklift impacts.
Selective Pallet Rack Systems
The choice to use a selective pallet rack system is largely one of even further versatility. With a selective pallet rack system, you have the choice of arranging stacks of inventory in a back-to-back or single layout. Of course, since this choice will impact how your transport aisles will be arranged, it will also require you to consider how you want your inventory to be managed, whether that's with a first-in, last-out or first-in, first-out system.
Overall, most selective pallet rack systems have the ability to reach 40 feet in height. They offer one of the widest selections of potential racking and decking arrangements. If, however, you're looking to store items more than 40 feet off the warehouse floor, a more robust system of storage will most likely be necessary.
For All Types of Racking and Storage Solutions, There's McCall Handling
We've been dedicated to serving the storage equipment needs of the Mid-Atlantic region for over 65 years. That's why, if you're looking for pallet racking advice, you need to look no further than our team at McCall Handling. Contact us today for all your warehouse equipment needs.

Climate of Algeciras
The climate is warm and temperate in Algeciras. The rain in Algeciras falls mostly in the winter, with relatively little rain in the summer.
This climate is considered Csa according to the climate classification of Köppen-Geiger. The temperature here is on average 17.5 ° C. In one year, the average rainfall is 770 mm.
The driest month is July, with 1 mm. In December, the precipitation reaches its peak, with an average of 141 mm.
The hottest month of the year with an average of 23.6 °C in August. At 12.5 ° C on average, January is the coldest month of the year.
Gastronomy of Algeciras
The kitchen of Algeciras is presided over by fish. This, together with seafood, also from its coast, is cooked in various ways: cooked, in soups and stews, grilled, grilled, grilled, battered and fried.
Some popular seafood, such as crabs, sea urchins, shrimps, legs or burgaos, are easy to find in street vendors' stalls, which are generally the same ones that have shellfish.
Among the best known recipes are soups of minced meat, garlic, seafood or clams.
Noodles with coquinas, fish a la algecireña known as "abajá", made with several kinds of fish, seasoned with condiments and white wine, grouper, swordfish grilled or in yellow, and cod tortillas.
There are also other dishes such as artichokes a la algecireña, snails (cabrillas) with tomato or poleo and pinchitos morunos.
In confectionery the real pasta of soft sponge cake stands out. In addition to the rich and traditional cakes from our traditional confectioneries and seasonal sweets, we find a good Moroccan pastry.
We can not forget our bread and honey Pelayo.
Monuments of Algeciras
Church of Nuestra Señora de La Palma
Work on this church began in 1723, when the increase in population made the religious service offered by the chapel of Our Lady of Europe insufficient, finishing 13 years later, although the canonical consecration of the temple was not carried out until 1829.
At first, the church consisted of only three naves. It currently consists of five naves, plus a transept and roofs of Arab tiles located at different levels.
The central dome of the transept rests on four wide pillars with a square base, topped with capitals that roughly imitate the Ionic style.
Between 1795 and 1805 the last reforms were carried out with its bell tower. This tower has a square floor plan with two bodies, it is in a tempered neoclassical style that gives it a very robust appearance and, as a curious fact, its base is formed by reused ashlar masonry from the old medieval walls of the city, as attested to by the stonemasonry marks it has.
No doubt other monuments to see in Algeciras is its wonderful aqueduct. The Aqueduct of Algeciras is one of the most important constructions made in the city during its first two centuries of existence.
The gradual growth of the city made necessary the creation of public fountains, the aqueduct supplied them with water from the River of Honey.
The work, which began its construction in 1777 and finished in 1783, had two sections: the farthest was located in the neighborhood of El Cobre (known as Los Arcos de El Cobre), and a closer section located in the neighborhood of La Bajadilla, now almost disappeared.
The section of El Cobre has been restored and integrated into its surroundings as a green area.

As many others have done so, I thought I would publish my verdict on the election. There are basically three conclusions:
1. This was about a challenge from Don Brash to Labour on two issues - tax cuts and race based laws, with a subtext about trusting Labour given a whole host of issues, like the speeding motorcade;
2. Voters either voted for a change in government (National), with those on the Maori roll going for the Maori party to send a different message. Or they voted AGAINST that change (Labour).
3. All other parties - that is other than Labour, National and the Maori Party - did poorly, because they either did not stand for supporting either Labour or National, risked not reaching the 5% threshold and because almost all voters wanted to choose a government - which doesn't mean a coalition partner or supporter on confidence and supply.
Unlike the last three MMP elections, this time voters stopped dabbling with minor parties. Most voters decided it was a choice between changing the government ala Don Brash and National or not, this is different from endorsing Labour - this was Labour's election to lose, and it nearly did.
Large numbers of people turned out to vote out Labour – they abandoned NZ First, United Future, ACT, Christian Heritage and others to vote National – and they sure did. Brash delivered a result that he should be proud of – because it beats anything Jim Bolger achieved after 1990. Bolger only got 35% and 33% respectively in 1993 and 1996, and the 1990 result was in no small part to him promising to abolish the then superannuation surtax and Phil Goff's tertiary student fees, and then doing quite the opposite (which spawned NZ First).
Brash lost because he blundered in some debates, was not always speaking naturally as himself by correcting the message when his advisors saw it as being not so popular - e.g. privatisation, nuclear ships. He did not show sufficient passion and courage to defend on principle tax cuts and less bureaucracy. Next time he should sharpen the focus as a battle between nanny state Labour and "we trust you a bit more" National. However, it was hard to fight with the economy buoyant. Brash's key success was that he asked the public two questions:
1. Do you want Maori to continue to have laws and taxpayer funding that other New Zealanders cannot receive?
2. Do you want more of your money back when the government is running surpluses and expanding the bureaucracy?
39% said no, but 41% said yes.
The message resonated for many New Zealanders, as shown by the swathe cut through provincial New Zealand by National. Labour has lost much support in cities like Napier, New Plymouth and Hamilton, only the high party vote in the core support bases of south and west Auckland saved them. Labour remains dominant in the big cities – Labour won Auckland - just. It lost the North Shore, but lower income Auckland was scared they would lose benefits under National. Wellington and Christchurch were also won. Wellington wasn't a surprise, as public servants vote for the incumbent government as a rule, and Christchurch is the people's republic. National clearly has struck a couple of chords, and with its substantially refreshed caucus will hopefully continue running with that. The risk is that it has a bunch of MPs who will sell out for power once more, feeling they lost because they weren't centrist enough. This is nonsense - National lost because it didn't stick to the message throughout the campaign. It DID play well in one respect - it ignored Labour's pleas to change the terms of the debate, but it did falter at key moments, and these probably cost it the support it badly needed, particularly in the main centres.
Labour, as usual, mobilised those who were scared that tax cuts meant their beloved state health and education systems would fall apart – it perpetuates the myth, beloved by the vested interests who want more money and no competition or accountability, that constantly pumping money into publicly provided health and education makes a huge difference. The beneficiaries of Labour – anyone who chooses not to work, public servants and unionised quasi-monopoly industries (teachers and nurses) came out in force to continue to vote themselves other people's money. The naïve were convinced that Helen Clark would better spend their money than they could, so they came out to vote. National played against that by listing many areas of poor spending - it could have done more of this, and been credible - but didn't have the team doing sufficient research to fight Cullen hard on this.
Others were frightened by Labour and the Maori Party, that abolishing race based law would upset too many radical Maori, and we could have civil war or something not far short of that. Then there are the legions of voters now indoctrinated by Nanny State's schools into loving the Treaty of Waitangi and the guilt industry built around it.
Labour undoubtedly lost some votes to National, and to the Maori Party (although more electorate than party votes), but it gained some from the Greens, the JAP party (Jim Anderton) and the remnants of the Alliance. While in a time of low unemployment and a reasonably buoyant economy Labour should have won, it shows how Brash's policies of tax cuts and abolishing race based laws were resonant with much of the electorate for it to be so close.
Those who hate the Nanny State hypocrisy of the government and saw in Brash an honest man who would give people back their money, and end special government privileges for Maori, got out to vote. Labour got out its core vote, and used fear to generate votes for the status quo, and it worked. For that, Clark deserves credit for winning a third election – although that victory may not taste so good when she has to share it with so many. More New Zealanders wanted government that tells them what to do and spends their money, than not. She runs a tight ship, and is a model for future PMs in that regard. There is little tolerance of dissent or side agendas – Helen Clark has spent far too long working to get where she is to let the lesser minds of many of her caucus members derail this government. Heather Simpson and Helen Clark (H2 and H1 in common Parliamentary parlance) tolerated the 1980s Labour government, and the debacles of the 1993 and 1996 elections to go on and reshape government to be more closely involved in most aspects of the economy and society. Just think about how much untangling of funding, bureaucracy and regulation would be needed by a free market oriented National government to wind back what Labour has done. Telecommunications, energy, education, the arts, broadcasting, local government, the list goes on and on.
Beyond the two big parties, the Maori Party was the other success story. It won because it had a brand, it had an MP who stood up against Labour on the Foreshore and Seabed Bill, and Pita Sharples – a man who at best, is a skilled and passionate educator and communicator. The Maori Party harnessed the vast taxpayer funded Maori broadcast media, and with very little policies, became a nationalist rallying cry. Much of the Maori Party's policy and some of its candidates had been seen before – in the very nationalist Mana Maori Party. Now those voting in the separate Maori seats had a choice, like had happened with NZ First in 1996. This time the party simply said it would be a voice for Maori – as if Maori have one coherent view on the role of government. Nevertheless it worked, and with an overhang of one, the Maori Party has shown that many Maori voters figured out MMP – voting Labour for their party vote and Maori party for the electorate. The test will be the next three years – how critical will the Maori Party be in granting confidence and supply, or supporting key legislation. Will it press Labour towards taking more steps to please Maori voters specifically, and if so, will this backfire by returning those voters to Labour?
Losses for the other parties were rather catastrophic. As Frogblog has already noted, the Greens lost the lowest proportion of votes of all those remaining in Parliament – but clearly it did face some voters reverting to Labour, to bolster its chances of beating National for number 1 spot, but also because polling for the Greens made their 5% spot not always convincing. Wasted votes are avoided by many voters, and the Greens had little new to sell to voters besides "we'll support Labour and want to spend more of your money on new energy sources, and petrol is running out ha ha ha". The loss of Nandor Tanczos will also reduce the appeal of the Greens to voters keen on cannabis law reform.
NZ First suffered a loss of protest votes to National. Winston rightfully should feel humiliated having lost his base in Tauranga and is now playing a careful game of not supporting or opposing Labour being in government. His elderly support base are slowly dying off missing Rob Muldoon and the dark ages, his Maori supporters are drifting away, and virtually all of his MPs are invisible and unknown (who's going to miss Bill Gudgeon and Edwin Perry!). Unless Winston exploits a high profile issue near the next election that National drops the ball on, he is fading away.
United Future understandably is back down to more usual levels, as much of its support from 2002 went back to National. Even absorbing the Outdoor Recreation party and the irrelevant WIN party, did nothing for United Future, which at best is now a place for those who don't care about the election outcome – but like Peter Dunne – to vote. The soft Christian family vote has probably left for National as well. Once Dunne retires, United Future will be gone, and not a moment too soon!
ACT is glad it survived – it barely did. Rodney Hide made a great effort in Epsom and I trust he will be a vibrant local MP, and deservedly so. No doubt ACT would have picked up more National votes had Epsom been a sure thing, but then that would not have assisted National in forming a government while Dunne and Peters prefer negotiating with the larger of the two main parties. It now has two socially liberal MPs, and it is about time they thought more about that, and let ACT be free of its conservative instincts. It wont of course, which is why I didn't vote for ACT in the 2005 election. I did in 1996 and it proceeded to disappoint.
Jim Anderton is back down to his personal cult party – how quaint and irrelevant, it's Labour in drag with a Catholic conservative bent *yawn*.
Beyond that, those who believed God was on their side were wrong – Brian Tamaki has little support outside his tithing sheeple, following him in his quest to take New Zealand to the Dark Ages. The Christian Heritage Party was damned for having tried to convince the public to vote for Graham Capill too many times in the past – Libertarianz beat them in several electorates for the party vote. Methinks Destiny and Christian Heritage would get together, if Brian's ego wasn't so enormous (oh I forgot, he doesn't lead the party - it has nothing to do with him!).
The Alliance similarly must now be down to its last rites, as Libertarianz also beat it in several electorates on the party vote.
Which comes to Libertarianz – a very poor result, less than one thousand votes, despite a tremendous effort campaigning by a range of talented people, some of whom were cutting their teeth bravely on the campaign trail for the first time. At least the party stood this time, and generally did better in electorates it had candidates than those where it did not. Two of our key messages were central to the election – abolishing race based laws, including the Maori seats, and cutting taxes. Sure we wanted to abolish taxation ultimately, but the principle remained – Brash argued it is YOUR money, Clark argued that the world would end if she didn't have access to it.
Where to from here for Libertarianz? The message remains the same - small government is beautiful and the state should get out of the way, but the way the message is communicated will diversify. It has to – nobody else on the political spectrum is consistently fighting for private property rights and the right of you to own your body, your life and interact voluntarily with other adults. That is what Libertarianz is about – it is not what Labour, National or any other party believes in.
For New Zealand? Clark will run a status quo government, and be hard pressed to do anything beyond tax and spend more of your money - and pass some legislation that isn't too controversial.
One thing to remember though is that although NZ First and United Future are painted as being centre-right, they are both parties of bigger government. NZ First is inherently conservative, likes the government running businesses and likes banning things it doesn't like (look at how it approached civil unions, prostitution and censorship). United Future is also conservative, and if creating a new pointless bureaucracy called the Families Commission isn't about big government, what is? They will both allow Labour to increase the size of the welfare state in the next three years - no pleading from either party about stable government will deny this fact. If either wanted to legitimately claim they support tax cuts and less bureaucracy they would withhold confidence and supply, and let Labour deal with the Maori Party - and implement its agenda.
I dare them!

What Is National Income Accounting?
National income accounting is a bookkeeping system that a government uses to measure the level of the country's economic activity in a given time period. Accounting records of this nature include data regarding total revenues earned by domestic corporations, wages paid to foreign and domestic workers, and the amount spent on sales and income taxes by corporations and individuals residing in the country.
Although national income accounting is not an exact science, it provides useful insight into how well an economy is functioning, and where monies are being generated and spent. When combined with information regarding the associated population, data regarding per capita income and growth can be examined over a period of time.
Some of the metrics calculated by using national income accounting include gross domestic product (GDP), gross national product (GNP) and gross national income (GNI). The GDP is widely used for economic analysis on the domestic level and represents the total market value of the goods and service produced within a specific nation over a selected period of time.
National Income Accounting
Use in Economic Analysis
The information collected through national income accounting can be used for a variety of purposes, such as assessing the current standard of living or the distribution of income within a population. Additionally, national income accounting provides a method for comparing activities within different sectors in an economy, as well as changes within those sectors over time. A thorough analysis can assist in determining overall economic stability within a nation.
For example, the United States uses information regarding the current GDP in the formation of various policies. During the financial crisis of 2008, the GDP began to suffer as increased market volatility and shifting supply and demand affected consumer spending and employment levels. As a result, President Barack Obama, after taking office in 2009, instituted an economic stimulus package in response.
As an example, the basic accounting identity for GDP, sometimes known as the national income identity, is computed using the following formula:
GDP = consumption + investment + government spending + (exports − imports).
National Income Accounting and Economic Policy
The quantitative information associated with national income accounting can be used to determine the effect of various economic policies. Considered an aggregate of the economic activity within a nation, national income accounting provides economists and statisticians with detailed information that can be used to track the health of an economy and to forecast future growth and development.
The data can provide guidance regarding inflation policy and can be especially useful in the transitioning economies of developing nations, as well as statistics regarding production levels as related to shifting labor forces. These data are also used by central banks to set and adjust monetary policy and affect the risk-free rate of interest that they set. Governments also look at figures such as GDP growth and unemployment to set fiscal policy in terms of tax rates and infrastructure spending.
Inaccuracies in National Income Accounting
The accuracy of analysis relating to national income accounting is only as accurate as the data collected. Failure to provide the data in a timely fashion can render it useless in regard to policy analysis and creation.
Additionally, certain data points are not examined, such as the impact of the underground economy and illegal production. This means the activities are not reflected in the analysis even if their effect on the economy is strong. As a result, certain national accounts such as GDP or the CPI index of inflation have been criticized on the grounds that they do not accurately capture the real economic condition of the economy.

I had homework to do this week. My skeptics group decided that for tonight's meet everyone needs to bring the name of a female scientist along. A person might wonder about the skeptics angle for such a request but as I hunted for a suitable biography, I was reminded that there were points in history where men were skeptical of a woman's ability to think (and later had their asses handed to them).
One interesting woman I ran across was Trotula of Salerno. There has been skepticism in the past about whether she actually existed, or if she was actually a man, for that matter. If not, then she was a physician in the 11th century and collaborated on several books about health and wrote a few herself about women and health issues specifically. Some anonymously penned things were also attributed to her whether or not they should have been. The end result was a collection of health manuals that guided physicians for centuries — in the wrong direction, as it turns out, since much of what she's credited as writing was based on whatever tripe Galen came up with back in his day. Treatments were mostly herbal and came from a variety of sources of tradition, from the Mediterranean to Muslim methods.
Sophie Germain might be the better choice. She was born April 1st, 1776 and had a lust for knowledge that could not be quenched. She was 13 when the French Revolution got nasty enough for her parents to justify keeping her inside all the time so she made good use of her father's library, where she ran across a legend about Archimedes.
"during the invasion of his city by the Romans Archimedes was so engrossed in the study of a geometric figure in the sand that he failed to respond to the questioning of a Roman soldier. As a result he was speared to death" (Perl 64). This sparked Sophie's interest. If someone could be so engrossed in a problem as to ignore a soldier and then die for it, the subject must be interesting! Thus she began her study of mathematics.
Her family had a hell of a time trying to stop her from learning. That sort of business was left to aristocrats. It wasn't proper for the middle class (let alone girls!) to have that kind of ambition but her stubbornness won the day and they just let her get on with it. The kid happily spent her time during the Reign of Terror figuring out differential calculus via Dad's books on her own but she was still out of luck at the age of 18 in terms of getting a proper higher education. The Ecole Polytechnique was founded in Paris that year, 1794, and they weren't letting women study there. She got around that somehow, managing to get lecture notes from instructors anyway and continued her studies the same way she always did. Eventually she wrote papers and letters to those learned men she admired and gained entry into the mathematics world by mentoring with them. Her contributions to science include work on number theory and theories of elasticity.
One more that piqued my interest, Annie Jump Cannon, an astronomer. She did graduate work in physics and astronomy at Wellesley in 1894 but moved to Radcliffe Women's College because Harvard had a far better telescope. She wound up getting hired along with several other women to help the Harvard Observatory director, Edward Charles Pickering, work on what's called the Draper catalog, after the man who funded it. Cannon is the one who came up with the clever method of organizing stars by spectral classes: O B A F G K M — or as is easier to remember: "Oh be a fine girl and kiss me." She's credited with classifying 230,000 stars over the course of her work on that project.
What a gal.
I don't know about you, but after reading about all these intelligent, world-changing women, I feel a little more stupid this morning than usual…

A daily multi-vitamin / mineral combination (MVM) may reduce the risk of infectious illness in healthy individuals, according to researchers at the University of North Carolina, and Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Diabetics can gain even greater protection from infectious illness with the use of a daily MVM, according to the study. A group of 130 adults aged 45 to 64 took a MVM or a placebo daily for one year. The group included 51 participants with Type-2 Diabetes.
Healthy participants taking the daily MVM reported fewer infections and days absent from work than those taking the placebo. Infection rates were 43% for the MVM group versus 73% in the placebo group. Work-absence rates were 21% in the MVM group and 57% in the placebo group. Diabetics taking the MVM reported more dramatic results, with only a 17% infection rate compared with 93% in the diabetic placebo group. Illnesses included influenza and gastrointestinal, respiratory, and urinary tract infections.
The study's authors surmised that the positive results for diabetics were likely due to the correction of micronutrient deficiencies. A larger clinical trial is needed to determine whether these findings can be replicated in diabetics and any nutritionally deficient populations. MVM supplementation may most benefit those in the developing world.
In June of 2002, the Journal of the American Medical Association reversed its long-standing position and recommended that all adults take a daily Multi-Vitamin/Mineral combination.

I just talked about characteristic from one game to another game, and no offense, i already see that this game is not have any characteristic except whiners. Don't be follower, just be trendsetter.
About extra slot, I think 8 slots for 2-3 elements + 5-6 talent slots is more than enough and still you can use it manually. Compare to another game, like Pockie Ninja, at that game you only have 6 slots and your char is under full control by AI. But when I step into it's forum, I see their players are not whining about that, just fine and peace.
About reset element, why the whiners are not create another char (like create another FB accounts) and play at there from start again (like collecting TPs and tokens or golds) if they want to use another talents. It's not different with reset talent, coz as long as I see, the whiners have almighty hope about reset talent even the TPs (including tokens and golds) which they are already spent not refund.
I care about this game coz I already played it long time, actively.
Its called "Life isnt fair" people should understand that kind of word

Day 74
It has been a long exhausting day. Dad finally got the beast running again near dusk. It was not the prettiest fix, but should get us to the cabin. Mom radioed Fremont to tell him we are close. They have been busy defending the area from the charred and something else. Fremont said they have been attack by giant bugs.. Great now add spiders monsters to the mix. Just what I wanted to see in my dreams. Since the beast didn't get fixed till late we will be staying the night here. There is too much risk to travel tonight. Car headlights are beacons that will attract all sorts of baddies. We also set up guard rotations. I got second shift with Olivia. Courtney was not happy about that. Makes sense though why they didn't get to be on guard duty together. Those two would have geeked out all night and would have gotten us all eaten. One last thing to note the sky is no longer that crimson color. Those purple streaks seem to have taken over the whole sky. I wonder what caused it?
