"Natural oil finished" wood flooring is the fastest growing segment of the Engineered Wood Flooring market. Designed to compete against polyurethane wood flooring, oiled floors offer tremendous cleaning and repairing flexibility. No longer is it necessary to close down your operation, empty all of the contents from your rooms and wait for the sanding and refinished to take place. Gone too is the DUST.
Historically, natural oil finishes have been tremendously popular due to their durability. Whether site finished or shop applied (prefinished), urethane finishes are the most damage resistant.
Cleaning and maintenance programs can be scheduled just like carpet cleaning. Floors can be serviced and walked on in a matter of hours.
The natural oil used to finish oiled floors is not a surface coating but is designed to become part of the wood by penetrating, bonding with, and hardening the fibers of wood. When wood is finished with natural oil, it may dent or scratch, but it can easily be repaired. Typically, only spot sanding on extreme wear marks and scratches would be necessary, and a total wall-to-wall sanding is normally avoided.

The advent of special-purpose hardware such as FPGA- or ASIC-based annealers and quantum processors has shown potential in solving certain families of complex combinatorial optimization problems more efficiently than conventional CPUs. We show that to address an industrial optimization problem, a hybrid architecture of CPUs and non-CPU devices is inevitable. In this paper, we propose problem decomposition as an effective method for designing a hybrid CPU–non-CPU optimization problem solver. We introduce the required algorithmic elements for making problem decomposition a viable approach in meeting real-world constraints such as communication time and the potential higher cost of using non-CPU hardware. We then turn to the well-known maximum clique problem, and propose a new decomposition method for this problem. Our method enables us to solve the maximum clique problem on very large graphs using non-CPU hardware that is considerably smaller in size than the graph. As an example, we demonstrate that the maximum clique problem on the com-Amazon graph, with 334,863 vertices and 925,872 edges, can be solved using a single problem embedding on fully connected hardware with at least 21 nodes, such as the D-Wave 2000Q. We also show that our proposed problem decomposition approach can improve the runtime of two of the best-known classical algorithms for large, sparse graphs, namely PMC and BBMCSP, by orders of magnitude. In the light of our study, we believe that even new non-CPU hardware that is small in size could become competitive with CPUs if it could be either mass produced and highly parallelized, or able to provide high-quality solutions to specific problems significantly faster than CPUs.BACK

"I'm still having those fevers," the voice over the telephone reported casually. "It's been a month. Should I be worried?" Dr. John Henning Schumann, an internist and a close friend of the caller, was worried. His college friend often asked him medical questions and had mentioned a viral illness a few weeks earlier. If it never went away — that was concerning. Schumann told him to see his doctor immediately.
A few days later Schumann received an e-mail from his feverish friend. He had seen his doctor. Now he was in the hospital. A CT scan of his abdomen had revealed a softball-size mass in his liver. His doctor sent him to the hospital for further testing.
Dr. Andrew Modest at Mt. Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, Mass., scrolled through his new patient's electronic medical record before going to see him: the patient was 40 years old, a university professor and healthy — until now. The blood tests revealed a mild anemia, and the CT scan showed the mass.
The patient sat comfortably in his hospital bed with a computer on his lap. He looked a little pale but otherwise appeared well. "I'm writing about my illness for my friends and family," the patient said cheerfully. "Is that O.K. with you?"
The fevers started a week after he returned from a conference in Switzerland, the patient told Modest. They only came at night, but they came every night. First the fever and then hours later he would break out in a heavy sweat. Sometimes it was so bad that he had to change his pajamas and sheets. He had a tickly kind of cough, too. Other than that, he had no pain. The patient said he had lost 15 pounds over the past month, but assumed that was because he started a new diet.
The doctor found nothing out of the ordinary. The patient had no fever, although his temperature had gone up to nearly 102 the night before. His heart rate and blood pressure were normal. So was everything else.
The patient had fever for four weeks and lost a good deal of weight, which the doctor thought could not be attributed to the minor dietary changes. Was this an infection? Maybe, although he didn't look sick. Was it some sort of autoimmune disease like lupus? Or was it some sort of cancer? Any of these were possible.
The patient also had the huge mass in his liver; was that the source of the fever? Or was the mass what is known as an incidentaloma — an abnormality found when searching for something else? The size alone suggested it had been there for quite some time — probably years. Why would he get a fever now? And if it wasn't the liver, then what? Tick-borne diseases like Lyme and anaplasmosis could cause this kind of persistent fever. So could H.I.V., T.B., hepatitis and dozens of other infections.
Modest sought out a radiologist to review the images of the liver mass with him. The radiologist's first thought was that this could be a very big hemangioma — an abnormal but benign collection of blood vessels. But these tumors usually have smooth borders, the radiologist added, and this one didn't. Besides, hemangiomas typically don't cause fevers.
Modest asked what else it could be. The radiologist said there was a malignant form of hemangioma known as angiosarcoma. Those can cause fevers, but they are extremely rare. Or maybe it was a benign hemangioma with some kind of infection within it. That could certainly cause a fever and would require immediate antibiotics. But in order to make this diagnosis, they needed to see what kind of fluid was in this mass. If there was pus, they would have to drain it and start antibiotics. If no infection was seen, they could hold off on the antibiotics, at least for the time being.
That afternoon the radiologist inserted a long needle into the mass in the patient's abdomen. Once in place, the radiologist pulled back on the syringe. Its chamber filled with what looked like pure blood. The lab confirmed the finding. There was no pus and no evidence of an infection. Modest shared the news with the patient. He told him that he wasn't sure what the source of his fever was. An infectious-disease doctor would examine him later that day and a gastroenterologist would come by over the weekend. Modest would be back Monday.
That night the patient was so worried he could barely sleep. The next morning he called Schumann, his doctor friend. He had had many tests, he said, including CTs and M.R.I.'s; he had been poked, prodded and stuck. As a result, there were many things his doctors were pretty sure he didn't have — it didn't seem to be cancer, they still couldn't find an infection; it wasn't H.I.V. or hepatitis or Lupus — but none of his doctors had been able to figure out what he did have. And that uncertainty was scaring him.
Schumann was worried, too. He lived nearly a thousand miles away — too far to come and see his friend. Besides, the patient was posting all his test results for his friends and family, so Schumann was following the case from a distance, and he still had no idea what was going on. If he was the second opinion, then the patient clearly needed a third. Suddenly Schumann had an idea. What if they opened the mystery of his symptoms to other doctors? What if they put his case on the Internet — on a blog read mostly by doctors — and let some new eyes and brains work on this problem? The patient was excited by the idea.
That afternoon Schumann put the case on a blog (glasshospital.com) he was writing and contacted Kevin Pho, who has a popular medical blog (www.kevinmd.com), who then posted it, too. Within hours, a dozen comments were posted in response. Several pointed to a series of reports similar to this very case: patients with large hemangiomas and persistent nightly fevers. In several cases, simply removing the tumor stopped the fevers.
Hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors found in the liver. Most remain small and asymptomatic. But occasionally they can become quite large, and when that happens, patients often complain of pain or a sense of fullness. In very rare cases, and for reasons that are not well understood, these tumors can cause fever, weight loss and anemia — the same symptoms that this patient had.
As soon as Schumann saw these case reports, he was hopeful that this was the right diagnosis. The patient was optimistic, too.
Modest never saw those case reports. Nevertheless, he arrived at the same diagnosis, albeit through a more traditional route. The patient was seen by Dr. Frederick Ruymann, a gastroenterologist. Ruymann saw a case just like this years earlier and recognized it immediately. Still, because there was no way to know if this benign tumor was the cause of the fever, short of taking it out, Modest had to be sure that he had ruled out as many alternative diagnoses as he could before turning his patient over to the surgeons. All his tests were unrevealing and finally, by midweek, Modest was comfortable that the symptoms were probably caused by the hemangioma.
The patient had the hemangioma removed in April. Although the recovery from the operation was more rigorous than he expected, he is now back to his old self. No more fevers, no more fatigue; even the cough disappeared.
In medicine, doctors accept that no one knows everything. Our knowledge is shaped by experience, training and personal interest. We all reach out to our community of doctors when we are stumped. Usually it's to our friends and colleagues, but the Internet offers the possibility of a broader community — a sea of strangers linked by our medical curiosity and by our keyboards.

In 2001 the business world was rocked by news of the Enron scandal. Over the following decade many other company scandals have come to light, further eroding trust within companies and about big business in general.
In response to this flurry of scandals, business writers began to publish articles and books about the issue of trust in the workplace and between companies. Among those authors was Stephen M. R. Covey, son of the late Stephen R. Covey. In 2006 he released The Speed of Trust, focusing on how trust between individuals and companies can speed up the way we do business. This was followed up in 2012 by Smart Trust, with a focus on how trust affects our careers.
Now in late 2013 Covey has released an extensive update to Smart Trust, with a focus on the importance of trust in developing strong leaders. With this latest update, we've invited Stephen back to bring us up to date on his latest findings in this important area of trust in the workplace.
Please join us on December 12th for The Defining Skill that Transforms Managers into Leaders with Stephen M. R. Covey. With a whole new generation of workers moving up through the ranks, it's more important than ever to make sure that trust practices are part of their training.

There is an epidemic of frigid women.
She is angry as a hornet and cold as an iceberg (especially in bed).
She feels closed down, locked up, and hard around the edges…but keeps asking for MORE and DIFFERENT.
She is waiting for her man to prove his love (again and again) and then she will show her love…. but often it's too late.
Men give up, move on, and find another.
Women then become more calculated and cool, and the endless cycle begins again.
Hence, why we have an epidemic of frigid women, and lonely men.
Hopefully today can be life-changing (share THIS)!
A Bit About Me:
I myself was a frigid woman, thinking this was the best way to "train my husband."
But what I didn't realize that I was:
- Driving a wedge
- Breaking trust
- Discrediting him.
- Making him RUN the other direction.
The truth is…a happy man only has a desire to be with YOU!
It took years of personal development and feminine embodiment work to transform my life and marriage.
Now, my coaching practice is unintentionally men!
The type of men that brings a whole new meaning to masterful humans.
Here is what I have learned after almost 18 years of marriage and mentoring these incredible men:
Men's primary goal is to make women happy!
Men go ALL IN for personal development! (Men are my highest paying clients and most value my work! From $12,000-$35,000 programs without a blink of an eye, request for a refund, or question about the value) That is commitment! They show up, ask questions, and take notes! They are serious about being better men.
Men have a 3 time program – *three times with the same results*
This means that you have requested him to change, but you are still frigid 3 times or more, he gives up.
Can you relate?
Men want to support…
Men want to love…
Men want to protect…
Men are literally dying to love….
If you can resonate, but don't know where to start, here are a few tips.
Tips for Women
- Focus on releasing your pain and suffering.
- Use clear language (I need support with…)
- Consciously touch – It will give them confidence.
Tips for Men
- Use Clear Language (How can I support you?)
- Practice being present with her by putting your phone down.
- Look into her eyes – it calms the nervous system.

Insider Story: Antique Furniture Restorer, Bill
Bill Kratz likes to do things the old-school way. After decades in the trucking industry, the Austin, Texas resident has shifted his attention and passion to refinishing antique furniture, all by hand, with no shortcuts. No special tools, no chemical strippers—"I don't believe in that stuff," he says, "because it goes into the wood, and then it doesn't stain right. I mostly hand-sand and I'm very intricate about what I do." One of Bill's secrets to success: he uses old socks to apply all his stains and varnishes, a technique that produces excellent end results.
His process takes a long time, but he enjoys it. "I just love wood—the grain, everything," Bill says. "A pretty wood is just like a beautiful picture."
Bill's is a small-scale operation. "I don't go out and look for pieces," he explains. "Most of the furniture in our house is antique, given to us by our mothers and grandmothers and other relatives." One recent project was an antique pie safe, which Bill describes as "a bureau-looking thing with glass doors and drawers on the bottom." Utensils and equipment used in pie-making go in the drawers, with three shelves on top for storing pies."
One piece of antique furniture that he had for years was a bed that both his father and grandfather both slept on. "The box spring and the mattress had seen as many days as they were ever going to see," Bill says, so about five or six years ago, he started to think about getting a new bed, particularly when his doctor recommended it to help with Bill's sleep apnea. He went straight to Sleep Number. "I sleep a whole lot better now," Bill says. "Sometimes my back gives me a bit of trouble, if I'm on my feet all day long, and I can adjust the bed to make me feel more comfortable at night. Sometimes I like it firm, sometimes I like it soft. Either way, I can make sure I get a good night's sleep."
Thanks to the modern craftsmanship of his bed, this old-school craftsman is able to pursue his passion and keep giving new life to beautiful antiques. And today, as he looks around his house at all his pieces, Bill says, "I feel proud of my work."
Bill's Sleep Number setting is around 65, but sometimes he'll go up to 85.
Like diet and exercise, quality sleep is essential for optimal health and performance. Because everyone's sleep needs are different, Sleep Number 360® smart beds, with SleepIQ® technology inside, sense your movements and automatically adjust firmness, comfort and support to keep you both sleeping comfortably. Find your Sleep Number®setting for your best possible night's sleep.

With so many eateries, we had to circle the Star Vista twice before making the apprehensive move to throw in our lot with Boston Seafood Shack.
Do note that it was more a fast food restaurant (highlight step two: place order at counter and step 5: collect food) than a full service one and if not for the one plus one fish and chips, i would have gladly gone for Itacho or this ramen restaurant boasting a long queue.
The only assurance was that despite being pretty unknown, the place still managed to draw quite a crowd. Of course, this could have been a result of the attractive 1 + 1 fish and chips promotion!
Clam Chowder
Gooey [tick], thick consistency [tick], many pieces of clam [tick]; sounded good? A pity it tasted way too normal and lacked the special flavour to beckon a second sip.
Spicy Crab Nachos
I am reserving my comment on nachos as i am not a nachos person but as far as crab was concerned, i was disappointed with the pathetic serving. That could have been forgivable if the crab meat didn't leave that foul aftertaste on my tongue.
I am better off with plain nachos with cheese.
Fish and Chips
Wrapped in a classical fish and chips style, it was like a Christmas present waiting to be open!
Our one plus one fish and chips! As barramundi cost the same as snapper, we checked with the counter on the possibility to have one of each. Surprisingly, this was almost rudely rejected! Oh well, at least we did ask.
Notwithstanding the less than stellar service, we enjoyed the fat fries and the delectably juicy fish encased in a tender yet crispy batter! This fish and chips was definitely better than the one from the Little Fish Shop.
This is when the big BUT comes into picture. At S$13.50 for a serving of fish and chips that i have to order and collect from the counter, i thought it was seriously way overpriced.
1 Vista Exchange Green,
#01-16, The Star Vista
[Right outside Buona Vista MRT Station]
Clam Chowder - S$5.00
Spicy Crab Nacho S$8.00
Fish and Chips - S$13.50
[Prices include GST]
As above.
Additional Information
Top up S$2.50 to your main meal for a chips/cookie and a can of drink!
We opted for the cookie option and damn were we glad we chose it! The yummy cookie gave one the impression that it could have been baked at Subway although it appeared flatter with way more chocolate!

October 1, 2009 – Spectranetics Corp. yesterday said it filed a 510(k) application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration seeking clearance for the treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR) in the legs with its commercially available peripheral atherectomy laser products.
ISR is caused by the regrowth of tissue within the stent, known as neointimal hyperplasia, which can lead to blockages in the affected leg artery. The 510(k) application makes reference to the results of bench testing associated with the interaction of laser and nitinol stents. This testing shows that stents subjected to extensive fatigue testing following laser interaction had no fatigue-related failures. The submission also includes reference to clinical data supporting the safety and efficacy of excimer laser treatment in coronary artery ISR and an analysis of interim data from the peripheral artery ISR study, PATENT, which is ongoing in Germany. Although the data from the PATENT trial is preliminary, no evidence of stent damage has been observed during the procedure or during subsequent follow-up evaluations, the company said.
Spectranetics manufactures and markets the only Excimer Laser System approved in the United States, Canada, Europe and Japan for use in minimally invasive interventional procedures within the cardiovascular system. More than 800 Spectranetics laser systems are used in hospitals worldwide.
The company's vascular intervention products include a range of peripheral and cardiac laser catheters for ablation of occluded arteries above and below the knee and within coronary arteries. The company also markets aspiration catheters for the removal of thrombus and support catheters to facilitate crossing of coronary and peripheral arterial blockages.
The lead management product line includes excimer laser sheaths and cardiac lead management accessories for the removal of pacemaker and defibrillator cardiac leads.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- A bus driver who is accused raping a 7-year-old passenger appeared in court Monday.
Stephen Meek, 66, was supposed to learn whether he would be held in jail pending a trial. However, his lawyers requested more time before the judge makes a ruling.
Meek will remain in custody prior to a new hearing.
During Monday's hearing, the mother who stopped when she noticed Meek's bus pulled to the side of the road addressed the court.
"So I followed the bus next to me and then at one point it pulled off of the road. And I don't why it pulled off the road. But I still, in my mind needed to see for my own self if that child was OK," said Tyler Archuleta.
Meek was hired by the Chama Valley Independent School District in 2016.
The superintendent, Anthony Casados, said Meek passed an FBI background check.
Meek's previous employer, Santa Fe Public Schools, did not raise any red flags either, according to Casados.
New Mexico State Police is looking into Meek's past. An officer testified that there were no previous offensives on Meek's record that would be an indicator of the crime he's accused of committing.
Police encourage any other potential victims to come forward.

That was such a dream to see these sprawling lavender fields in Provence. My friend Ana realized one of my dream and took me to this stunning region, the Provence. I really wanted to wear a statement dress that would perfectly match with the decor. Fortunately I found this fabulous Dark Pink dress on asos.com which is currently on sale and almost sold out. Believe me, this dress look like a designer dress. Material is super soft, airy and lightweight. The cut greatly emphasizes feminine curves.
I added below more dresses I love for the perfect shot in lavender fields.

ACCA Recently Joined Hands with Concordia Colleges
Recently there has been collaboration between ACCA and Concordia, a project of Beacon house Group, which owns the leading private school networks all over world with operations expanding in nine countries. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), signed in the second week of June at the head office of the group, is expected to change the landscape of learning for ACCA students in Pakistan and this indicates a beginning of a collaborative venture.
This collaboration with Concordia College is an initiative move to reinforce ACCA's efforts to work with renowned academic institutions of Pakistan that will ultimately contribute for the betterment of accountancy profession within the country.
Through Concordia Colleges' campuses (Beacon house Group's initiative), ACCA will implement a new system of studies designed specifically for Concordia schools to provide quality teaching and ensure a healthy campus environment for students.
The venture will ensure the quality of tuition is provided by the management as promised. The goal is to deliver seamless quality of tuition to candidates, while keeping in view that demand of ever changing technology is fulfilled.
The most interesting thing of this Memorandum of Understanding is the facility of premium campus based facilities which is normally not being provided currently in Pakistan by other institutes who are providing tuition to ACCA students. Further the MoU focuses on the provision of skill enhancement activities and extracurricular activities. This represents one of the aspects which have been long ignored by the present ACCA tuition providers within Pakistan.
The group is a National Learning Partner of ACCA and will initially start the operations in seven campuses located across four cities. It is expected that the group will expand the network to twenty five campuses across fifteen to eighteen cities within Pakistan in the next three to five years.

By Dr. Sarah King, ND, Toronto
Many of us tend to underestimate the power of our gastrointestinal tracts (GIT). As far as it concerns us in the most basic sense, our stomach digests the food we eat, and then we poop it out; sounds like a pretty effective and concise system. But the world inside the GIT is actually an entire ecosystem, carrying on in constant activity. The bacterial colonies within this system interact with the food we send down, create a habitat, and take up space along the intestinal lining; sending signals, communicating with us! There are literally trillions of living microorganisms inside of you, with the power of suggestion over you. Are you experiencing constant sugar cravings? Feel anxious or have a low mood? Do you tend to have abdominal cramping and/or bowel urgency when you're anxious or stressed? These experiences are all guided by the enteric-gut-brain axis.
The gut-brain axis essentially is the connection between the enteric nervous system and the central nervous system, including all communications between the GIT and the brain. Gut microbiota plays a critical role in the function of this axis as well as many other processes, from inflammatory control and immune responses to gut barrier integrity and permeability.[1] The term "gut microbiota" is used to describe the multitude of species and colonies of bacteria and yeast in the GIT. The composition of the gut microbiota is influenced by diet, stress, and environmental factors, and it influences the production of metabolites that help to maintain host homeostasis.[2]
The gut microbiota is very much influenced by our diet, as the bacteria feed on the nutritional contents in our intestines. This drives the fermentation of carbohydrates and releases short-chain fatty acids for energy production for other, more specialized bacteria.[3]
The balance of bacterial strains is crucial to our health; many health concerns have been linked to gut dysbiosis, whereby an imbalance in the strains or a lack of bacteria in the gut can influence intestinal-wall integrity and transit time.[4] For example, small-intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) describes a condition where the GIT is inhabited by a multitude of pathogenic bacteria and relatively little commensal bacteria. SIBO has been shown to impair intestinal transit time, causing constipation, but also can accelerate transit time, causing diarrhea.[4] This dysbiosis is a reflection of diet, sleep quality, and stress in the body.[4]
In addition to influencing changes in intestinal permeability and motility, this bacterial flora also plays a key role in mucosal immune function, and in the production of GABA and serotonin as signaling molecules to the nervous system.[1]
Serotonin functions as a major signaling molecule in the enteric nervous system, functioning and overlapping with the central nervous system.[1] Tryptophan, a precursor to serotonin, is found in seeds, soybeans, meat, and fish. From our diet, tryptophan is absorbed in the gut and crosses the blood-brain barrier, where it is transformed into serotonin.[1] Interestingly, the majority of serotonin in our bodies is actually located in the gut, synthesized by enterochromaffin (EC) cells.[1] This production of serotonin is used to modulate the functioning of the GIT via secretion, peristalsis, vasodilation, and the perception of pain and nausea.[1]
Not only do the EC cells synthesize serotonin, but the gut microbiota also has the ability to produce serotonin from tryptophan and use it as a signal within the gut-brain axis to modify host behaviour.[1] Drawing on the gut-brain axis, serotonin influences the brain and our mood, but it also regulates the development of structures in the intestinal lining. Microvilli are microscopic protrusions that increase the surface area of the intestinal lining. This extra surface area is utilized for nutrient absorption, and its development is induced by 5‑HTP, the precursor to serotonin.[5]
These connections demonstrate how bacterial gut flora can influence intestinal health as well as nutrient absorption, and contribute to signaling within the enteric and central nervous systems.
Initiation and Maintenance of a Healthy Gut Microbiota
The colonization of the GIT by microbiota is initially determined at birth by the mode of delivery. Vaginally delivered babies have a microbiota dominated by Lactobacillus species originating from the mother's vaginal and fecal microbiota.[1] By comparison, babies that have been born via caesarean section have a microbiota influenced predominantly by the mother's skin microflora. This flora is typically composed of Staphylococcus, Corynebacterium, and Propionibacterium species, with a larger susceptibility to C. difficile.[6] These babies have also been shown to have very low amounts of Bifidobacteria species; however, breast-feeding can provide an abundance of Bifidobacteria species.[1] This bacterial flora will become more diversified as the infant is later weaned onto solid foods.
As mentioned above, diet plays a key role in the maintenance of beneficial gut bacteria. After all, these bacteria are feeding on the compounds and nutrients that are found in our GIT. Fibre plays an especially important role, and its absence can lead to bacterial migration. If their preferred food source isn't available, the microbiota will look to feed on other compounds such as amino acids, releasing potentially harmful substances during metabolism.[3] These substances may contribute to inflammation and "leaky gut," issues with intestinal permeability and a loss of integrity in the tight junctions between intestinal cells. This process may influence the development of IBD or colon cancer, in addition to food sensitivities and/or allergies.[3]
Antibiotics and Gut Health
As adults, our microbiota is heavily influenced by our dietary choices, and can be easily disturbed by the use of antibiotics.[1] It's becoming more common—though not regular practice—for medical doctors to advise patients to take a probiotic during or after a course of antibiotics. Taking a probiotic a few hours apart from an antibiotic dose can help to correct the wipe-out effect of antibiotics on gut microflora. However, repeated antibiotic use without the repopulation of healthy gut bacteria can lead to permanent alterations in the gut.[1]
More specifically, antibiotic use in children reduces the colonization of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus strains. These species of bacteria help to shift the immune system altering the immunological homeostasis between Th1 and Th2 responses.[1] Early and frequent antibiotic use has been associated with allergies and irritable bowel disease (IBD).[1]
In children and adolescents, brain development is dependent on serotonergic neurotransmission and is required for the function of structures in the brain such as the amygdala, the hippocampus, and the frontal cortex. Serotonin signaling may then influence sleep, sexual behaviour, and mood, strengthening the requirement for a healthy gut microflora.[1]
Benefits of Probiotics on the Gut-Brain Axis
The interconnectedness of the brain and the gut cannot be understated. Intestinal dysbiosis, an altered gut microbiota with few beneficial bacterial colonies relative to pathogenic species, has been linked to anxiety and depression.[1] By using probiotics as an intervention, some studies are showing benefit to psychological distress and depression.[7]
Probiotics, by definition, are live microorganisms that are administered in high-enough doses to provide beneficial health outcomes to the host.[8] Their use for gastrointestinal disorders has been widely studied, but research into their role in benefiting the nervous system has greatly increased over the past decade.[8] Several human studies have even shown that multistrain probiotics can improve the symptoms of anxiety and depression, as well as cognition.[4][8]
The adult stress response via the hypothalamic-pituitary axis (HPA) has also been linked to gut microbiota. Abnormal stress responses have been observed in adults with gut dysbiosis, which can be reversed with proper colonization and restoration of the gut microbiota.[4] Multistrain probiotics have been shown to decrease cortisol and/or adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).
Human studies are ongoing; some of which are investigating the involvement of gut microbiota in areas such as autism, Parkinson's, and chronic pain.[4] Strains most notable for their ability to improve anxiety, depression, and stress responses, in addition to gastrointestinal relief, include B. longum, B. breve, B. infantis, L. helveticus, L. rhamnosus, L. plantarum, and L. casei, with doses ranging from 10 million to 40 billion colony-forming units (CFU) per day.[8]
The colonization of the GIT by bacterial species influences several areas of our overall health including digestion, mood, and behaviour. The ability of our intestinal cells and gut microflora to modulate serotonin synthesis plays a key role in signaling between the enteric and central nervous systems. Irritable bowel syndrome, although presenting as a dysfunctional digestive disorder, is greatly affected by stress and anxiety, the symptoms of which could be traced back to the composition of the gut microflora. Human studies continue to investigate the role of probiotics in mental health and stress responses, and may very well be an indicated intervention in gastrointestinal disorders linked to anxiety and stress. Repopulating the gut after antibiotic use is critical to overall health, including the development of structures within the brain in children and adolescents.

Portugal's unknown billionsin News · 02-03-2017 14:19:00 · 1 Comments
Two former finance ministers are in line to face a parliamentary grilling after it emerged that billions of euros were transferred to offshore havens under their watch without being analysed by the tax office.
Vítor Gaspar, who will be remembered as the first finance minister to enforce austerity measures under the previous coalition Government, could be called to explain how ten billion euros were channelled from Portugal's wealthy to havens such as Panama without the knowledge of the treasury.
But it his successor Maria Luís Albuquerque - in charge of the country's finances from 2013 to 2015 - who is being targeted by the leftist alliance Government to explain whether she withheld information from opposition MPs with regards to the undisclosed cash.
According to information obtained from a Communist MP and published on Thursday by newspaper Diário de Notícias, there are apparent indications that Maria Luís Albuquerque could have had knowledge of additional funds being channelled to Central America and the Caribbean, without disclosing this to the opposition.
The former State Secretary Paulo Núncio, who served under Albuquerque, while not quite falling on his sword, assumed full political responsibility for the lack of control over these funds.
In justifying his option to keep mum on the matter, Núncio told MPs this week that he believed the publication of these transfers to tax havens "could give some advantage to offenders and impair the battle against fraud and tax evasion."
He added that "the publication of this information as a whole could lead to incorrect interpretations."
Another big question is whether the transfer of these billions of euros has had an effect on the country's depleted coffers and indirectly burdened the taxpayer with the ability of the wealthy to potentially have dodged billions of euros in unpaid taxes.
"I'm not in a position to state whether there is a penny of tax missing," current State Secretary Fernando Rocha Andrade was quoted by Lusa News Agency as telling the parliamentary committee this week.
He explained that "the matter is more complex than has been reported" because the period during which there would be a liability for tax has not yet passed.
Figures released a few months ago by the Finance Ministry had indicated that Panama had taken receipt of some €1.3 billion in transfers from Portugal over the period between 2010 and 2014 with around 1,800 transfers taking place.
But figures out this week for the period 2011 to 2014 have revealed more than three billion euros was transferred to Panama in 2014 alone.
According to Lusa News Agency, interconnected with the Panama Papers detailing the activities of companies set up by the law firm Mossack Fonseca but broader in scope, the Finance Ministry detailed how some €10.2 billion was transferred out of Portugal to tax havens worldwide over this same period of time.
Panama constantly remains in the top 5 on the list of preferred destinations for this capital flight and in 2010 ranked second with 351 individual transfers for a total of €531 million.
That year saw the Dutch Antilles lead the way as haven of choice with €770 million heading there with Luxembourg in third on €505 million followed by Hong Kong and the United Arab Emirates on €386 million and €201 million respectively.
In the following year, Panama ranked third with Portuguese money totalling €547 million heading to the Central American country before slipping back to fourth in 2012 and 2013 with transfers of €98 million and €105 million whilst its attractiveness as a destination slipped still further in 2014 when the country came in fifth with 158 transfers for only €19 million.
In 2014, Hong Kong topped the list for Portuguese financial transfers, raking in almost €163 million, followed by the Cayman Islands, the United Arab Emirates and Trinidad and Tobago that accounted for €51 million, €35 million and just under €25 million of transfers respectively.
The amounts being squirreled away in such domains have also varied over the course of time with 2010 and 2011 representing the peak years with over €3 billion and €4 billion, before soaring to almost nine billion euros in 2014.
Last year, Gabriel Zucman, a professor of the University of California at Berkeley, claimed that his research had found that 37.1 percent of Portugal's riches were tied up abroad, making it the European country with the highest ratio of cash held by institutions outside of its borders.
Greece comes a distant second, with a ratio of 25.8 percent of its Gross Domestic Product stashed in offshores, followed by Ireland with 19.5 percent, France (18.1 percent), the United Kingdom (17.1 percent) and Germany on 15.5 percent.
Despite Portugal topping the Zucman black-list, tax authorities here have spent the past few years upping the ante in retrieving unpaid taxes.
Since 2014, more than 83,000 homes have been attached by the taxman, while figures out for 2015 also revealed that the taxman set a new record in coercive collections. While the target set out at the beginning of 2015 had been 1.1 billion euros, tax collectors improved on this by almost 20 percent, raking in 1.3 billion euros during the course of that year, for an average of 3.5 million euros a day.
However, it remains unclear how many of Portugal's super-rich were on the receiving end of the taxman's efforts to replenish the state's dwindling coffers.

The Company:
Cinpak Inc.: A leading non-food manufacturer rep firm located in Texas.
The Problem:
-Spent the entire month on commissions.
-Zero efficiency in reporting and analytics.
-Disorganized sales team.
-Tried multiple CRM "solutions" to no avail.
"We tried various CRMs before Repbox. We looked at all of the big names, from Salesforce to Microsoft Dynamics. Not only were these systems extremely expensive to implement and maintain, they also couldn't meet every single one of the demands of our business. We even tried other systems designed for rep firms, yet none of them are as robust as Repbox. The mult-line rep model of sales is unique and none of the 'out-of-the-box' systems matched up."
Tony L., President, Cinpak Inc.
The Solution:
Repbox Executive Plan: Over 4 years using Repbox to handle all of their business processes and completely customized for Cinpak.
The Outcome:
-Commissions and splits done on time, every time.
-Reporting and analytics done with a click of a button.
-Know where business stands at all times: Instant analysis of pipeline and sales forecast
-Organized and efficient sales team that now spends more time driving revenue and less time sorting notes and data entry.
-Increased revenue each year since implementing the system
-Increased time spent doing what they love: Over an hour per day for each team member.
"Using Repbox has completely transformed our business. Most managers think that CRMs are just a way to keep tabs on their sales team. That's not the case with Repbox. It is an unbelievable sales-enablement tool that makes each member of our team better at what they do, from the sales staff to the administrators. Most importantly, Repbox saves us so much time throughout the week that would otherwise be spent on data entry or getting our commissions in order, that we now use to focus on driving sales and doing what we love."

Senator Chris Murphy's cross-state walk brings him to Milford
U.S. Senator Chris Murphy looked like just a regular guy out for a walk as he strolled through downtown Milford Thursday afternoon as part of his cross-Connecticut walk to meet and talk to some of the state's residents.
Four days into the journey, he said things are going well: He's meeting many residents and gaining insight into local concerns. His legs, he acknowledged with a laugh, are starting to feel a little tired.
On day one, Monday, Murphy posted this on his Facebook page: "It's the unofficial last week of summer in Connecticut and I decided to do something a little different — I'm going to try walking across the state. I started today in Voluntown (a little town near the Rhode Island border) and I'm heading west. I'm excited to hear from people across Connecticut, to stop into local businesses and get some great ideas to bring back to Washington. I'm a little unsure how far I'll make it but we will see how this goes."
Murphy has been walking most of the day since Monday and then ending his daily jaunt with a town meeting. Tonight's is planned at a church on the east side of Bridgeport.
He was in downtown Milford at about 3 p.m. Thursday, after ducking for cover from pouring rain inside a wood shed on Pepe's Farms Road.
"I ate my lunch in there," he said.
Murphy, 43, describes his weeklong journey as a long, leisurely stroll. Along the way he stops to talk to people who are walking their dogs or just out for a stroll themselves, and he pops into businesses to talk to the people there.
"When you're wearing a tee shirt and shorts, it creates an opening for open, honest conversation," he said.
So far Murphy said he's talked to small business owners who said they feel the government could be less antagonistic toward them.
"Everybody says they're doing better but they could stand a little more love in terms of regulations," Murphy said.
He said he's gotten a better picture of the working poor: In West Haven he talked to a woman who works a minimum wage job full time but couldn't afford her electric bill and her electricity was turned off.
In Milford, at SBC Brewery and Restaurant, Murphy stopped and chatted with Robert Granfield, a commercial clammer. Granfield talked to Murphy about fishing for a living, and he told the senator that some of the commercial fishing regulations ought to be lightened up.
Others, too, chatted with Murphy at SBC before he headed back onto Broad Street, going west toward Sterling House in Stratford, his next stop.
This is the first time the senator has undertaken this kind of walking campaign, and his staff said he's accomplishing just what he set out to do. Some people call his office to talk about their concerns, but there are thousands of people he never talks to, but whom he represents. He wanted to talk to some of them.
Not only is he hearing from residents, he's seeing sights he hadn't seen this close up before.
"When you're walking you get a sense for how beautiful the state is," Murphy said. "The shoreline in Branford...I never walked it before. And I'd never walked into New Haven over the Route 1 bridge first thing in the morning."
The New Haven skyline in the morning is worth seeing, he said.
Murphy has been posting photos from his walk on Facebook and Twitter, along with comments about the day.
On day three he wrote: "Walked 30 miles today and my legs are in revolt. Made it through Chester, Killingworth, Madison, Guilford, Branford and finally to East Haven."
He's getting plenty of feedback and suggestions, like this posting from a resident:
"I really think this is a cool thing you're doing! I've noticed so often that I see things differently when I'm walking than when I'm driving. Also, please notice how much of CT needs more pedestrian-friendly walkways!"
After stopping at Sterling House in Stratford and then the east side of Bridgeport later Thursday, Murphy said he planned to stop for the night at his in-laws' house in Fairfield. He said he's been "couching it," staying with friends or family at night and then starting his walk again in the morning.
At the end of Thursday, he expected to have logged more than 90 miles.
He plans to keep walking until Saturday, when he gets to Greenwich.
Earlier Post:
This week, U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) is walking Connecticut, taking to the streets and dirt roads to listen to and get feedback from Connecticut residents. Murphy began his walk on Monday, Aug. 29 in Voluntown.
After holding a town hall last night in East Haven, Murphy will walk through the following towns today: New Haven, West Haven, Milford, Stratford and Bridgeport.
Murphy plans to make it to the East End Baptist Tabernacle Church, 548 Central Avenue in Bridgeport at 6:30 p.m. tonight, Sept. 1, where he will hold a public town hall meeting.
All members of the public are encouraged to attend.

Productive While Doing Nothing
I've been getting down on myself for not doing all the writing things that I want. That's not to say I'm not doing anything. I am. I'm just not doing as much as I would like. I feel like I should be done with all the character sketches and concordance entries and synopsis writing, and ready to write the novel. I'm already writing out scenes as they occur to me, but all my characters have different agendas, so it's important that I have them all in my head so I can put them down in the right way.
Meanwhile, through my job (which I never actually divulge, saying instead that I work for a pig launching company) I am nationally certified to, uh, launch pigs, and my recertification date is coming up. I have to do 20 units by this spring, but don't want to do it late and have to rush. (It takes quite a lot of knowledge to launch pigs, mind you.)
So, this past weekend I did some of my courses, worked on organizing my concordances (one for this project and some for the recently set aside project), some character sketches, kept in touch with my previous (and hopefully future) editor…and yet I was down on myself for not accomplishing more. I thought that I should be done with this, working on something else, past this developmental stage. I was down on myself for watching Netflix (American Dad!, in case you were wondering) and sorting my new iPod. Why? Because I had other things to do.
This is what I mean by being productive while doing nothing. Thinking about it objectively, I actually did…enough. Not as much as I could or even should have, of course, but I did do quite a bit. Sometimes we have these expectations of ourselves, these agendas we internalize which become law, and any deviation from them becomes crushing defeat. Any accomplishments, however significant, become paltry in the face of what we DIDN'T do.
Our perceptions and our focus become our realities, so that any achievement, no matter how lofty or hard-won, pale in comparison to our expectations. We minimize our achievements because they don't fit 100% with our preconceived notions of what ought to be. Because of this, we are never satisfied, and therefore set ourselves up for failure.
With that mindset, we become discouraged and don't work to our greatest ability. My only advice after all this is to not let it happen. Take a step back and look at it from someone else's viewpoint. See your accomplishments for what they are without holding them against a background of your expectations. You might find that you didn't do as badly as you thought.
