In spite of the improvement in the general health of the community,
due to more hygienic living, more healthy food and better ventilation,
headache, instead of decreasing, has increased to a great degree. Any
number of headache cures are advertised in the daily papers, in the
street cars, on the signboards, even in medical journals, and besides
these nearly every druggist has his own special preparation for
headache, so it would seem as though literally many millions of doses
of these headache cures must be taken every week. It would seem as
though there must be some special unhygienic factor at work to produce
headaches at a time when all other pathological conditions are being
reduced in number and severity.
A study of the patients who are especially affected by headache seems
to furnish evidence as to the special factor that has led to the
increase of the affection. It occurs much more frequently in women
than in men. It is complained of particularly by those who have less
regular occupation, and the notable increase has come with the
opportunity for leisure on the part of large numbers of the community
due to the growth of wealth.
A feeling of discomfort in the head to which much attention is paid
will become such a painful condition as to deserve the name of ache,
if it develops in those who have no serious occupation in life and no
interests that demand peremptory attention. With the noise of many
children around them in the olden times women suffered comparatively
little from headaches. Most of our grandmothers scarcely knew what it
was to have a headache. Now most business men are likely to say the
same thing. Very rarely do they suffer from headache. When they do,
there is some specific reason and when this is removed the headache
disappears. There are many women of leisure who have regular headaches
for which they must have some remedy at hand or the pain becomes
intolerable, but there are few women strenuously occupied with
business affairs or with interests in which their attention is
absorbed who find themselves under any such necessity.
It is evident that certain conditions predispose to headache. The
principal of these is having sufficient time to advert to certain
uncomfortable feelings in or around the head. Few people who stop to
think of what their head feelings are but will find there is some
unusual sensation somewhere in or outside the head which if dwelt upon
becomes emphasized into an ache. If the mind can be diverted it
disappears. If there has been some injury of the head or some
pathological conditions set up by congestion or anemia, the feelings
may become emphasized and occupy the center of attention, and even
after the injury has disappeared or the pathological condition been
ameliorated some sensations remain which with advertence produce achy
feelings of discomfort. This is the history of a great deal of the
increase of headache in our time. There are, of course, real headaches
due to definite pathological conditions, but the great majority of
headaches complained of are the result of over-attention to
certain sensations, some of them normal, some of them only slightly
abnormal, which are emphasized by concentration of attention on them
until they become a torment.
Two main classes of headaches come to the physician for treatment. One
class is seen in patients who suffer from real and even acute pain
that cannot be distracted by diversion of mind, that is usually worse
when they try to sleep, as toothache is, and is evidently due to
definite physical disturbance. In the second class are the many queer
feelings about the head called headaches, though the patient suffers
rather from annoyance than from pain. It is said that the Chinese in
olden times put criminals to a lingering death by fastening them in
such a way that a drop of water fell every minute on their heads. It
was impossible to avoid the falling drop, and its constant recurrence
became an awful torture. Any feeling that engrosses consciousness will
be followed by the same sense of torment. The constant exercise of
function of any nerve without rest is of itself physically disturbing
to a serious degree. This must be realized with regard to many forms
of headache which, though trivial in origin, are the source of bitter
Attention Headaches.--Professor Oppenheim, in his "Letters to Nervous
Patients," has a paragraph with regard to headache that is worth
recalling for the benefit of patients who suffer from low-grade
headaches. Doubtless these were at the beginning real aches due to
some local condition. They are now due merely to exaggeration of more
or less normal feelings within the head which have come into the realm
of the conscious because of the attention attracted to them when the
intracranial affection was first noted. Professor Oppenheim says:
Your headache also I ascribe to this source. Originally it may have
been a real headache, the result of your nervous shock. There is no
one who has not at some time had a transient feeling of pain in the
head or in some other part of the body, quite apart from those
caused by injuries or painful diseases. Out of a thousand various
kinds of causes I will mention only an extremely common one: the
pains which result from straining muscles or nerves. Every sudden
awkward movement may in this way cause pain in different parts of
the body, but very specially so in nervous persons, in whom the
mechanical excitability of the nerves--that is, their sensitiveness
to pressure and strain--is usually exaggerated. As a rule, however,
this pain is quite transient. But here again the law of which I have
been already speaking comes into force: under the stimulating
influence of introspection the tiny, perishable seed-grain of pain
grows into the firm, strong, enduring tree of neuralgia or
The first condition for the successful treatment of headache, then,
must include the recognition of the possibility of some rather simple
pathological condition being exaggerated by over-attention to a
disturbing affection, or of some affection, now past, having produced
a suggestion that, in a mind given to introspection, continues to have
influence even to the inveteration of sensations for which there is no
longer a physical cause.
These patients insist that their medical status is that of real pain.
Hysterical patients describe a sensation as if a nail were being
driven into the forehead--the so-called clavus hystericus. In nervous
people the sense of pressure increases from one of mere discomfort to
a positive pain, as a consequence of attention to it. In most cases of
headache, however, what is most needed is a distraction of the
attention from the ailment. Over and over again I have found
that when all remedies failed the deliberate search for an occupation
of mind that would interest the patient during many hours of the day
was the only thing that promised relief and in many cases the relief
afforded was so complete that patients were effusive in their
Power of Distraction.--The proof that these so-called headaches are
really not aches is found in the comparative ease with which many of
them may be suppressed. Almost any interesting occupation will make
the sufferer forget them entirely and they will not return immediately
after the occupation ceases, but usually only when the patient is
alone and attention is once more directed to this symptom. These queer
feelings about the head that are often raised to the dignity of
headaches by attention and auto-suggestion may be distracted away
completely. That they are not pain is shown by the fact that the
ordinary remedies which ease pain so promptly often fail to relieve
these or soon cease to have any effect on them.
Lack of Distractions.--The apartment hotel system has multiplied the
victims of headaches. When a woman has nothing in the world to do
except get her clothes fitted and attend to what she calls her "social
duties," it is no wonder that her head bothers her. Blood is
constantly going to the brain and interchange of nutritive elements is
taking place, yet there is no real function of cells and no
consumption of material, or at least function is so slight that
consumption of material must be trivial. There is no reason why these
women should get up in the morning. Their breakfast is brought to
their rooms, and some of them do not get around until eleven o'clock.
Women used to have a morning occupation in going out to market or else
in planning the household day with housekeepers, but of course there
is no more of that. In olden times, too, many of them had religious
practices. Now women are likely to be unemployed until the afternoon,
which must be occupied at most with so-called social duties that may
be done if one wishes to do them, but that may be put off for many
reasons and there are constantly recurring reasons for not making any
special exertion. Also, the rooms these women live in must be kept at
a high temperature because the poorer the air that we breathe the
higher must be its temperature for comfort, while stimulating fresh
air may be quite low in temperature and yet produce only a brisk
reaction instead of chilly feelings.
Children used to be the best possible remedy for these non-occupation
headaches, but either there are no children any more or there are but
one or two and these are largely cared for by bonnes at home and by
various schools once they have reached the age of three. The old idea
that children should not leave home until six put upon the mother the
burden of their early education, but since the coming of the
kindergarten she is relieved of responsibility of this and the mother
of one or two children might now almost as well be childless as far as
any serious occupation from care of her children is concerned.
If patients are told all this bluntly there will be a vigorous protest
from most of them, for to them their pains are very real. It must not
be forgotten that a pain in the mind is often worse than in the body.
Some of these women save themselves from having their unused mental
faculties disturb them from very lack of something to do, by becoming
interested in charities, in clubs, in social movements of various
kinds, in art and in literature. It is not to these that I
refer. On the contrary, if women have nothing else to do I would
insist that they find some cause or movement in which they may become
deeply interested. Their interest will save them from self-annoyance,
though it may not exactly add to the gayety of nations in its effect
upon other people. As a physician, however, I am only interested for
the moment in the good of particular patients.
Source of Pain.--I would not be understood as saying that all
headaches are not real aches nor pains in the most literal sense of
the word, for some of them are agonizing tortures. With regard to all
headaches, however, even the most genuine variety, there are certain
considerations that are of value from the standpoint of
psychotherapeutics. The most important of these is assurance as to the
source or location of the pain. Most people think that it is the brain
itself that is suffering pain and not a little of their suffering is
due to the fact that they dread the effect of such pain upon the
cerebral tissues and its possible consequences upon their mental
state. These people will be much relieved to be told at once that the
brain tissue itself is not sensitive, that when exposed it may be
touched with impunity without causing any pain. It is the structures
surrounding the brain that are sensitive. As a rule the lesion that
causes pain is not progressive and all dreads with regard to serious
after effects may be put aside.
Pressure Headaches.--It is important to insist on the fact that, as a
rule, headaches and pains in the head are not due to the brain, but to
extraneous structures within the skull. It is true that brain tumors,
gliomatous and cystic and, above all, the overgrowth of the pituitary
body in acromegaly give rise to agonizing pains. The cause of these
headaches is undoubtedly pressure. It is not the pressure upon the
brain tissue itself, however, that is the underlying cause of the
pain, but pressure upon the sensitive structures connected with the
brain. The same thing is true with regard to congestive headaches.
Pain is produced not because vascular congestion presses on sensitive
brain tissues, for we have no reason to think that any such exist, but
because the congested brain exerts pressure upon sensitive filaments
in its integuments. Neuralgia may be unbearable and yet it is borne
with more equanimity, and less dread of results, because it is felt to
be in a comparatively unimportant structure. One of the most serious
elements in severe headache is the fear of lasting results in the
brain tissues, that may lead to disturbance of mentality or to injury
affecting mental processes. Patients find their pain much more
bearable as soon as they are assured that headaches do not lead to
mental disturbances and that, as a rule, even the growth of a tumor
does not disturb mentality.
In the relation of the brain to the intellectual faculties that are so
closely associated with it, we must remember that direct connection
between the two has not been demonstrated and that the relations of
the brain and the mind are almost as mysterious as they ever were.
There are some who still think that the frontal convolutions are
especially concerned in carrying out mental operations. All that we
know about them in pathology, however, is that they are the silent
convolutions. When a lesion occurs in other portions of the brain we
see the effect of it practically always without delay, in some way,
either in the sensory or motor functions of the body. Large lesions in
the frontal region, however, often give no sign. Large tumors have
been found pushing frontal convolutions from their ordinary
positions without any noticeable effect upon the individual.
Hard Study and Headache.--It is worth while to impart this knowledge
to patients who suffer from headaches, because it at once improves
their outlook on life. I have known hard students--men who had spent
twenty or thirty years in work at a special subject--live in constant
dread that sometime their minds would give way because they frequently
suffered from headaches, or at least from some uncomfortable
sensations in their heads, which they feared as a portent of ultimate
mental breakdown. The assurance that such a thing is utterly unlikely
and quite apart from the physician's ordinary experience, not only
relieved their anxiety and made their headaches more bearable, but in
a dozen of cases in my note-books the headache has gradually
disappeared as certain habits of life were corrected and modified, as
their habits of eating were varied, as bodily functions were
controlled and as diversions of mind were introduced into lives that
had before been too unvaried for healthy functions.
I do not think that I have ever seen a case, and I have been closely
in touch with hard students for over twenty years, where I felt that
the cause of a headache was mental overwork. I have known men who at
the age of seventy or over have taken but four or five hours of sleep
and who have worked at their favorite subjects for the better part of
half a century. They never complained of headaches. Of course, there
are others whose physical and mental power is less and who cannot be
expected to stand a strain that for large-minded men is only the
normal exercise of function. It has not been the mental work that they
were doing, however, that was the source of whatever central nervous
disturbance was to be found in lesser minds, but worry and anxiety and
dread over what they were doing, anxiety as to what they were going to
do that constituted the real pathological agents at work.
Local Conditions.--A striking case that impresses patients much more
than the physician's declaration and is more likely to be remembered
and is therefore of psychotherapeutic value, is that of Von Buelow, the
German musician. He suffered for many years from excruciating
headaches. They were so severe as almost to drive him crazy. His only
relief was morphine and he and his friends lived in the midst of no
little dread that sometime or other either the pain or the process
which caused it would bring about a deterioration of mentality. After
his death an autopsy was made. It was found to be a small nerve fiber
pinched by a scar in the dura as a consequence of an injury received
when Von Buelow was very young. Many other stories of this kind have
been told.
It must not be forgotten that in many cases the pain is not within the
skull itself or at least its cause is not and other sources should be
carefully looked for. The connection of the eyes with headache has
been so well worked out, owing to the initiative of S. Weir Mitchell,
that nothing more need be said of it. One feature perhaps deserves to
be mentioned. While strain of accommodation is a frequent source of
headache and is at once looked for by ophthalmologists, there seems no
doubt that some headaches, much fewer than accommodation cephalalgias,
are due to muscle difficulties, that is, a lack of balance among the
external muscles of the eye, whose full pathological significance has
perhaps not yet been worked out. Headaches are frequently due to
sinus troubles, especially to disturbances in the frontal sinus and to
intranasal difficulties. These must be eliminated before the patient
can be helped. Sometimes these nasal and sinus difficulties are signs
of a deeper constitutional disturbance, due to lack of fresh air and
exercise and are relieved promptly by the establishment of hygienic
Congestion Headaches.--Some headaches require changes of habit and
persuasion of the necessity for arranging the day's work so as to give
proper intervals for relaxation. Much experience with persons whose
absorption in their work causes them to miss a meal or delay taking it
for seven or eight hours from the last time of eating has shown me
that this disturbance of the routine of vegetative life is
particularly likely to be followed by headache. This headache is not a
mere dull ache and is much more than a sense of discomfort; it is
often an excruciatingly painful condition that usually does not come
on until toward the end of the day and then may seriously disturb
sleep. An interesting thing about this class of headaches is that
nearly always they are increased by lying down. Often only a faint
preliminary symptom of it is apparent when the patients go to bed,
though they may be wakened after two or three hours of disturbed
slumber by a headache that prevents further sleep, and pass the
remainder of the night in painful wakefulness.
Usually it becomes impossible to continue lying down. The head must be
raised and much relief is afforded by sitting up. The headache does
not disappear at once but it will gradually pass away and sleep may be
resumed after a half an hour of sitting up, though the sleeper will
have to be in a sitting posture. Older people get up and sit in an
arm-chair. I have found that placing a chair with a rather long back
beneath the mattress, the mattress slanting along the chair back at an
angle of about forty-five degrees and then an arrangement of three or
four pillows above that, will enable these patients to get to sleep
better than anything else. The ordinary remedies for headache afford
some relief, but even very large doses of the coal-tar products will
not relieve the pain entirely unless some arrangement is made for
keeping the head quite high and immovable.
The headache is evidently due to congestion. The reason for it is
perhaps the failure of the blood to be recalled from the brain to do
its usual physiological work at the digestive tract, with a consequent
distention of arterioles in the brain so that a little later they do
not react to prevent congestion. Usually with the headache there is
some digestive disturbance, a feeling of unrest, flatulency with
perhaps acid eructations. Accordingly the headache is often attributed
to digestive disturbance. But both would rather seem to be effects of
the same cause--the failure to supply the digestive apparatus with the
proper amount of material to work on at the time when it expects it,
while the mental absorption naturally attracts blood to the head. We
know from delicate experiments made in physiological laboratories that
at times of mental work there is an appreciably larger amount of blood
in the head. A proof of the connection between the lack of a meal and
the headache seems to be the fact that with most people even a glass
of milk and a cracker, taken at the time when the meal is normally
eaten, is sufficient to prevent the otherwise inevitable headache.
Whenever some such simple explanation as this for a headache is found
and the patient made to realize its truth on his own observation, the
significance of the headache at once dwindles and it becomes
much easier to bear it. Before the very real pains of it were
emphasized by the dread of the consequences that would result from it.
If it was really a brain ache patients would find it hard to
understand how under its influence even serious changes might not take
place in the brain. This is only a rational suggestion, but it is
mental healing of the best kind.
Many of the aches which are spoken of as headaches are really forms of
tenderness associated with the integuments of the skull. Certain of
the muscles particularly are likely to suffer from achy feelings which
are spoken of as headaches. This is true of certain feelings of
discomfort in the frontal region and also of those that occur on the
occipital region. External applications of many kinds relieve
headaches in these regions, particularly in the frontal region. It is
easy to understand that such applications do not affect the contents
of the skull.
Some Occipital Aches.--Occasionally I have found that people who
complained of a sense of weight at the back of the head, with some
muscular tenderness, were sleeping on pillows that were too high. They
were over-exerting these muscles and this gave a sense of fatigue,
which when much attention was paid to it, became such an ache or at
least discomfort as is often found in the occupation neuroses. I have
seen schemata according to which headache complained of at the top of
the head meant digestive disturbance, headache in the anterior portion
of the head was referred to the eyes or the brain, and headache at the
back of the head spinal exhaustion or severe neurasthenia, but these
are at most very uncertain and I do not think that the tabulation of
cases justifies any such diagram of absolute causes and effect.
Usually there is some local condition that calls particular attention
to a special part of the head and then the attention being
concentrated complaint is made of that part.
Local Head Discomfort.--Usually a headache, accompanied by a localized
sense of pressure or weight or constriction, occurs in highly neurotic
people or those inclined to think much of themselves and whose
attention becomes concentrated on some part. At all times we have
sensations streaming up to our consciousness from every portion of the
body and anyone who wants to think about them, or a particular set of
them, can make them sources of considerable discomfort by
concentration of attention. Sometimes there are special conditions
that predispose to these localized sensory disturbances. I have known
tight hats to produce such effects. It is sometimes surprising how
tightly hats are worn. Nervous people are prone to overdo everything,
and they overdo the pulling down of their hats. At times the wearing
of a heavy hat will be the root of the trouble. I have known nervous
men accustomed to wearing high hats all their lives who began to
complain of headache when they were in the midst of busy worries and
troubles of late life, find considerable relief by abandoning their
high hats.
Toxic Headaches.--There are headaches that are due to the taking of
stimulants, as is well known from common experience. The mistake is
often made, however, of thinking that only alcoholic stimulation will
cause a severe headache. Tea and coffee headaches may be quite as
severe. Whenever people complain much of headache it is important to
revise their dietary as to the consumption of tea and coffee. Of
course, the headaches following alcoholic stimulation are
usually recognized as such, though occasionally a man accustomed to
taking much alcohol without any such after effects is surprised in the
midst of the worry incident to business stresses to find that he is
having headaches. These are due to the combination of stimulants and
congestion consequent upon an excess of alcohol with the increased
brain work that is demanded, or even with the same amount of brain
work from a tired brain. Gradually stopping the alcohol will do more
to relieve these headaches than anything else. To advise the sudden
stoppage of regular quantities of spirits that have been taken for
some time, will sometimes produce an anemic headache and defeat the
purpose of the advice.
When for some other reason tea or coffee or alcoholic stimulants are
suddenly omitted after they have been taken to excess for some time,
patients' complain of a headache. Some of this is probably imaginary,
or at least is due to the idea that their craving for the stimulant,
whatever it may be, must have a local manifestation, and the head
sensation is exaggerated as a consequence. Tea and coffee cravings may
here give more trouble than the longing for alcohol. Sometimes there
may be a real disturbance of the circulation from the lack of the
heart stimulant to which the system is accustomed and therefore an
uncomfortable feeling in the head from brain anemia. This can be
overcome by not cutting off the stimulant, whatever it may be, all at
once, but by bringing about its gradual cessation. These patients,
however, are very prone, even with the best of good will in the
matter, to deceive themselves and find an excuse for not having their
favorite tipple, be it tea or coffee or alcohol, taken from them, so
that they readily create symptoms by auto-suggestion.
Direct Mental Treatment.--For both congestive and anemic headaches
mental treatment is important. For those suffering from the congestive
kind the physicians's business is not so much the cure of any one
attack of headache (for this can be accomplished by various now rather
familiar anodyne drugs as a rule), but the discovery and removal of
the cause for the recurring attacks. These will be found in some habit
of the patient which must be corrected. Drugs are seldom needed for
the underlying condition which occasions the headache, for when it is
due to such organic affections as brain tumors or other intracranial
lesions, drugs can accomplish very little. In less serious conditions
benefit may be obtained by having the patient change his attitude
towards certain important details of his life, such as eating,
sleeping, attention to business or to study and the like, so as to
prevent the mistakes of daily habit that predispose to headache.
With regard to anemic headaches, especially those which occur in
persons who are very much run down in weight, the most important
element of treatment is to bring about an increase in weight. This can
be accomplished much better through the mind than in any other way.
Appetite is a function of the will, and patients should have an
increase of diet dictated to them and then be persuaded to follow
that. I have seen many a headache disappear among teachers, and
religious workers particularly simply as the result of this measure.
As regards headaches for which no definite cause can be found mental
treatment is the only efficient remedy. Practically nothing but a
change of mental attitude towards the affection and its underlying
causes, whether these be neurotic or psychic, will bring about
relief, and each patient is a problem quite distinct from any other.
There is no pretense that this use of mental healing for headache is
new or even modern. Many stories show that in olden times headaches
were often relieved by this means, and that suggestion was looked upon
as an important element in the treatment for their relief. In the
chapter on Great Physicians in Psychotherapy the quotation from Plato
with regard to Socrates curing the headache of his young friend
Charmides illustrates this very well.
In the old stories of Greek medicine there are a number of references
to headaches cured by suggestion or at least by mental influence. Miss
Hamilton, in her book on "Incubation," [Footnote 40] tells the story
of Agestratos and his headaches and how they were cured at Epidaurus.
Agestratos had a combination of headache and insomnia, the description
of the ailments having a strangely modern air. Just as soon as he came
to the Temple at Epidaurus he fell asleep and had a dream. The God of
Medicine, AEsculapius, whose cult was practiced assiduously at
Epidaurus, came to him in his sleep and promised him the cure of his
headache and at the same time taught him wrestling and advised its
practice. When day came he departed cured, and continued to practice
wrestling. Not long after he competed at the Nemean Games and was
victor in the racing. The suggestion that his headache would get
better had come to him and at the same time he had been given a
suggestion that provided him with occupation of mind and body. Many of
the people who suffer from persistent headaches need this advice more
than anything else. Probably every physician has had the experience of
headaches being cured by some interesting exercise, especially if
taken in the open air. The important factor is the change of mental
attitude, though changes in exercise, diet, amount of sleep and the
like are helpful auxiliaries.

Feeling "Fake" Full?
"Fake" full? What the heck is that?
Glad you asked!
Food high in sugars and carbs leave you feeling "fake" full. This means your stomach feels full for a bit, but then before you know it, you're hungry again, usually long before your next meal.
Fake full is not good for you because it means your meal did not provide the nutrition necessary to keep you going, and it highly increases your desire to snack and eat more poor food choices.
If you're always hungry, then you're always looking for quick eats, which usually results in poor nutrition as well as weight gain.
The Worst Offenders
Here is a list of the foods that will fill you up, but only short term – meaning you will be hungry again long before your next meal.
- Cereal
- Pretzels and crackers
- Bagels, toast, croissants
- Granola bars
- Store-bought soups
- Juice
- Artificial Sweeteners
- Donuts and cookies
- Alcohol
- Fast food
- Pasta
- Corn
- Potatoes
- Pizza
- Chips
- Fried foods
Notice a trend? Foods high in sugars and carbs satisfy you quickly, but then leave you hungry again, with no actual nutritional gain.
How to Stay Full and Satisfied
When your stomach is full it sends a signal to your brain that turns off your desire to eat. Obviously, if you are trying to control your diet or even lose weight, this is a key trigger in resisting the urge to gorge on snacks or treats.
First, instead of something dangerous like gastric-bypass surgery, take a supplement that helps you feel fuller longer. For example TummyTrim was designed for just this purpose. Called "The World's First Natural Lap Band", TummyTrim is a natural alternative to expensive gastric bypass surgeries with none of the risks or dangerous side effects.
Developed by British scientists, TummyTrim's herbal blend causes the stomach and intestines to believe that they are full, releasing appetite hormones and suppressing your desire to eat. It also helps your body to decrease cortisol, which promotes muscle growth and activates your metabolism, as well as to release insulin, which helps control blood sugar levels and inhibits fat storage.
Second, eat foods high in protein and fiber. Fiber and protein take longer to digest and thus, obviously keep you fuller longer. Foods like lean chicken, pork and fish, nuts, leafy greens, veggies, and dairy (without added sugar) all help fill you up with good nutrition and keep your hunger and snacking urges to a minimum.
In addition to taking the right kind of supplement and eating good foods, you also need to eliminate the bad foods. Sugars and refined carbs like candy, donuts, white breads, white pasta and more do three things: they make you "fake" full, they spike your blood sugar which causes short term energy but long term exhaustion, and they also cause sugar addiction which makes you eat more than you need.
Think about it. How many times have you eaten a dessert or sugary/high carb snack even though you weren't really hungry? You were just craving it…just because! Sugar addiction is a real problem and only getting worse in today's society full of quick, sugar-filled snacking. Just like nicotine or other illegal drugs, our brain gets used to sugar and over time actually demands more, which means even if your stomach is full, your brain will tell you to eat more sugar. What's worse, when you try to clean up your diet, you will go through actual sugar withdrawal, which includes headaches, hunger and cravings, irritability, exhaustion and more.
To reduce hunger and cravings you need to get out of the Fake Full trap! If you combine a supplement like TummyTrim with better food choices (more proFtein and fiber and less sugar), you will soon (After the sugar withdrawal wears off!) notice a massive difference in how you feel and how often you get cravings.
We all know feeling fuller longer, craving snacks less, and being able to feel satisfied and stick to a healthy meal plan is about the best way to lose weight and feel great!

Bankrupt church wants donations for pastor's sick wife ferried in limo
Some members of a bankrupt Orange County, Calif. megachurch are expressing outrage after fielding an email request for congregants to deliver food to waiting limos so that it can ferried to the founder's sick wife. The appeal comes weeks after a lawsuit charged that the founder of the Crystal Cathedral house of worship, Rev. Robert Schuller, and his family had been paying themselves lavish salaries and other benefits while the church was in financial straits.
"They've completely depleted the church's funds," one member, Bob Canfield, told the Orange County Register. "But they have shown that they have absolutely no remorse for what they've done. They're still being chauffeured around in limos. We, the congregants, have nothing."
An email sent recently by Crystal Cathedral administrators said that Schuller and his wife, Arvella, "would appreciate meals over the next three to four weeks." It added: "They are to be sent to the church in order to be transported to Arvella. The limo drivers could pick up the dinners or meet in the Tower Lobby around 4:30 p.m."

The members of the East Carolina University band who chose to protest our National Anthem deserve whatever response they incur, and it looks like they're going to regret their actions.
This past weekend the ECU marching band surprised their fans when several of their number decided to take a knee and refuse to play the National Anthem.
The blatant disrespect was not appreciated, and when the ECU band came out onto the field at halftime, the fans made sure to make it clear how they felt about the display.
Trending: Life Insurance: Evidence Tying Hillary to 'Orgy Island,' Underage Sex on Weiner's Laptop?
The stadium filled with boos as thousands of irate fans rose to their feet to protest the protesters.
After the game ECU board member Kiernan Shanahan told Fox News' Todd Starnes, "We foster and encourage free speech but that has to be tempered by time, place and circumstances. It was not the right time, place and (it was) the incorrect manner for these students to articulate personal dissent. It reflected poorly on the band…
The strong boos from the crowd when they realized what was happening certainly echoed the sentiment of the board. It was unfortunate and poor judgement for these few band members to disrespect our country, to take advantage of the uniforms they were wearing as ECU Pirate band members – to advance a personal agenda."
The school's immediate "official" response wasn't nearly as negative as the school's chancellor Cecil Stanton tried to stake out a middle ground acknowledging the upset of ECU's fans and donors, while defending the band members decision to protest. However, just a few days later the school realized that it had erred in their initial response and the music department chose to offer a far stronger apology.
"We regret the actions taken by 19 members of the East Carolina University Marching Pirates on game day October 1st felt hurtful to many in our Pirate family and disrespectful to our country," the directors of the band and the school of music and the dean of the College of Fine Arts wrote.
The directors said they met with the band and "have collectively reaffirmed their commitment to the unique privilege and responsibility that comes with wearing the uniform of the Marching Pirates."
And then – the directors threw down the baton.
"While we affirm the right of all our students to express their opinions, protest of this nature by the Marching Pirates will not be tolerated moving forward,' they wrote.
The athletic department and the football team also offered support for the anthem, saying that the band "does not report to Athletics" and that the football team will continue to honor the flag and the anthem, each and every game.
College football programs would be wise to take note about the current turmoil in the NFL, where the TV ratings have dropped dramatically in the wake of similar protests against the National Anthem and the American flag. Most Americans don't want to mix their politics and entertainment, and if liberal athletes and schools aren't careful, they will end up only hurting themselves with their protests because people will simply stop paying to watch them play.

My relationship with Japan dates back to 1989, when I visited for the first time to collect data for research comparing Japan's productivity with that of the US and Germany. In those days, flying from Amsterdam to Narita took 18 hours and included a stopover in Anchorage. I stayed for a few weeks in a small house in Tokyo's Shinjuku area, sharing with teachers from the US and other foreigners, sleeping on tatami beds and eating in Japanese restaurants where you would choose your meal by simply pointing at the clever plastic model of the food in the window–great looking and great tasting food! Japan was going strong in those days, with GDP growing at around 4-5% a year.
In the US at that time, many books were being written about Japan's strong economic performance and the perceived threat to the US economy—including the 1989 bestseller, Made in America. Japan's industries, and in particular electronics, cars and steel, were among the most modern and productive in the world, thanks to their strong engagement in exports, their uptake of modern technology, and constant innovation in products and processes. However, at the same time, many service sectors and domestically focused industries lagged well behind the US and Germany. Then, as today, there were large productivity differences between those sectors in Japan that were engaged in international trade and exposed to international competition and those that were not.
I returned in 1991 for a longer visit, spending almost six months at the new Fujisawa campus of Keio University, outside Tokyo, where there were very few other foreigners. I continued my work on Japan's productivity performance, and became more immersed in the way of life in Tokyo. It is still one of my favourite cities in the world to visit, and not only for its impressive food culture. It was around that time that Japan's economy had begun to wilt, and what followed was over two decades of slow growth: Bill Emmott, who later became the editor of The Economist, had underlined the difficulties ahead in his bestseller, The Sun Also Sets.
Since I joined the OECD in 1994, Japan has been a regular destination of mine. While there are more foreigners in Tokyo today than in the early 1990s and the city has become easier for visitors, many of the OECD's studies still point to an economy that is less internationally engaged than most other advanced countries, with low levels of international co-operation in science and technology, low levels of international migration, including of the highly skilled, and low levels of foreign direct investment. These are worrying facts, since as many of the OECD's reports have pointed out, Japan increasingly needs access to knowledge, technology, people and resources from outside the country. Even for a large economy like Japan, 90% of knowledge creation occurs outside the national borders, and in a world where innovation has become more complex and expensive, accessing foreign knowledge and working with partners is of growing importance. Critics have even referred to Japan's relative insularity as "the Galapagos Syndrome", whereby many products and services within Japan are highly sophisticated, but don't have much success in the global marketplace.
So while Japan grew rapidly in the three decades following OECD accession, since the early 1990s it has grown only slowly, if at all, with little of the dynamism apparent in many other Asian countries at the time. But now it finally appears to be emerging from a long, difficult period, and is actually showing signs of business dynamism, with many new start-ups opening in Tokyo and elsewhere. If the momentum is sustained, Japan stands to become a more creative, dynamic and entrepreneurial economy. There is much that Japan has to offer to the world, in robotics and the use of big data, for example. Further opening up of the economy to knowledge, technology, people, trade and foreign direct investment would benefit not just the Japanese, but all of us. Happy 50th anniversary, Japan!

Offshore Services
Myrna R. Walwyn & Associates specializes in the following offshore services:-
1. Offshore Trusts
2. IBC Incorporation
3. LLC Incorporation
4. Nominee Incorporators/Shareholders
The firm can provide asset protection structures specially designed and tailored to its client's specific needs.
Offshore Trusts
The Nevis International Exempt Trust Ordinance was enacted in 1994 by the Nevis Island Assembly. The Ordinance combines many of the modern provisions of trust legislation in other jurisdictions, with new and innovative elements which together make it a most unique and progressive legislation.
The Nevis International Exempt Trust was designed primarily to meet the needs of the modern professional desirous of protecting hard earned asset from frivolous litigation.
This trust which is largely used in conjunction with a Nevis Business Corporation, is also widely utilized for tax and estate planning.
The following are some of the key features of the Nevis International Exempt Trust :
a) The assets and income of the trust are exempt from all estate, corporation, gift, income, inheritance, withholding, succession and stamp duties.
b) Foreign judgments are not enforceable against the Settlor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary or any trust property.
c) The Settlor can appoint a Protector.
d) The maximum duration of an International Trust is 100 years. However, an international trust established for charitable or non charitable purposes, may have a duration in excess of 100 years.
Nevis Business Corporations.
International Business Corporations ( IBCs ) in Nevis are governed by The Nevis Business Corporation Ordinance 1984.
A Nevis IBC may be incorporated to conduct any lawful business and so there is no need to list the specific objects of the company incorporated. Once the company does not conduct business in Nevis, it is exempt from all corporate tax, income tax, withholding tax, stamp duty, asset tax, exchange control, or other taxes based upon or measured by asset or income originating outside of Nevis.
The incorporation process is extremely simple. All that is required to be submitted on incorporation to the Registrar of Companies is the name of the corporation.
Annual Returns are not required, but corporations must pay an annual renewal fee. The corporation is required at all times to maintain a Registered Agent in Nevis.
Foreign corporations may easily transfer their domicile to Nevis, so long as the law of the foreign domicile does not expressly prohibit such transfer.
Limited Liability Companies (LLCs)
The Nevis Limited Liability Company Ordinance was enacted in 1994 to provide an alternative to those individuals who wish to establish either a corporation or a partnership.
The owners of the Limited Liability Company (LLC ) are called members and, depending on the structure of the entity, may be either partners or shareholders.
The company is incorporated by filing with the Registrar of Companies, Articles of
The Nevis Limited Liability Ordinance provides protection to the company from creditors by limiting its creditors to a charging order and, stipulating that this is the only remedy available to them.

Employers frequently contact our Employer Service's Central Office looking for guidance before they terminate an employee or after they've received the claim notice. Will accepting my employee's resignation result in me having to pay unemployment benefits? I've gotten a claim notice in the mail, what do I do now? The UI Claim's process can be intimidating and, depending on whom you ask, downright confusing. Below is a look at what to do and not to do before and after a claim arises.

The Sun is reporting that Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has been told he has no future at Stamford Bridge, and will be free to leave the club during the transfer
window, which opens on Tuesday, even though the player is under contract with the Blues until the end of the season. According to the report, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has
informed Lampard of his decision, leaving the 34-year-old "distraught," as he wanted to end his career with the club he has played for since 2001.
"Frank is absolutely distraught," an unnamed source told The Sun. "He wants to keep playing for Chelsea but they've told him to find another club in the January transfer window. He can't believe it. All he wants to do is play for Chelsea. This club means everything to him."
Lampard has been heavily linked in the British media with a move to the MLS champion Los Angeles Galaxy, which is seeking to replace the departing David Beckham.

The Big Disconnect: Protecting Childhood and Family Relationships in the Digital Age
Click here to download notes from the presentation.
What did our audience have to say?
"The most important thing I learned tonight was…"
- Things that I can do to help my family navigate this tech world we are living in
- I need to set boundaries around my children's digital devices
- Looking at our technology use in the family and making sure we aren't losing track of the personal interactions
- the perspective of the children and how the iphone use can affect a young child's brainThat too much screen time and technology use robs our children of the tools they need to develop deep relationships and emotional intelligence
- how to be role model for our kids
- We must limit screen time and places
- That parents are more addicted to electronics than their kids in many cases
- the perception that kids have of their parents when parents use smartphones/computers
- the effect our technology use is having on all of our relationships
- Don't be scary, crazy, clueless parents!
- The topics discussed were not what I thought they were; I assumed the disconnect was with the children using computer games and video games too much. And here it was about PARENTS using their devices and forgetting about their children. Very amazing and I can't wait to read the book and share it with my friends and family of small children.
- How the use of technology releases dopamine into are brains which is why we feel the pull to constantly look at it
- The most importatnt thing I learned wasn't necessarily a new lesson though more of a reminder to continue to be mindful of how I interact with my children. To be aware and be involved in their lives and to not be a hypocrite
- It starts at home. The technology might be owned by the school, but I can have my own rules about the use of it in my house and in the hands of my child. SEL.
- preschoolers brains could be affected significantly by using the cell phone as a "baby sitter/pacifier"
- It made me realize that I may need to leave my comfort zone to do what is best for my children. I am their parent, not their buddy

On Apparelyzed, sometimes a member would comment on one of my posts and, somewhere in his/her post, would thank me for the information. Rather than writing another post that would have said, "You're welcome", I would just click the "like" button on his/her post. That way, the poster knew I'd gotten the message.
No announcement yet.
Welcome Apparelyzed Members!
new posts
Speaking of thanks or thumbs up. thank you for the welcome and new thread name. I know we are asking for some changes. most of us just want to have a better idea of who we are talking to. me being a lower t 11.12 would be so wrong in trying to give advise to a quad or someone a good deal higher up, as well as being a female and discussing cathing or sex. you can tell some by their name but not all. I remember someone upset by people giving quads advise or just simple complaining about what someone like me being a low injury may be dealing with. simple advise someone left was, every person here who was paralyzed is going through the biggest life change for them no matter the level. on threads marked quads I simply stayed out of since I could not give them any true help.
As a member of both sites through a few evolutions of each, I can say that both sites have their ups and downs. For the brand new people from Apparelyzed the format looks scary and new. For the CareCure members who joined Apparelyzed our old site looked confusing to them too. We just need to take some time, take a few deep breaths and center ourselves. I normally post in the Central Cord Thread, because that's where I feel most comfortable posting. If you search your level or condition many threads will pop up and with it, many potential friends.
I first met Ketamine Kitty here and kidnapped him for Apparelyzed. I asked Lynnifer here to join up on Appz to help out a fellow Canadian who was having a hard time.
This site is only arranged differently. The same friends and same type of friends are here. Many of the games we played on Appz are the games from here that our members borrowed and brought to Apparelyzed. Good ideas do get assimilated into other websites and they evolve. Maybe in time this will feel more like home to some of you.
In the meantime find out who the mods are, meet the sci nurses, ask for some guidance around the site and see if there's a welcome wagon to guide you to people, mentors or threads.
I think like 99% of you knew knew I was really bossy over at appz too and not good at all at keeping my opinion to myself.....that has not changedCCS/Walker C6...it's a long story
It feels like I should say something witty or sarcastic, but nothing comes to mind. (See, on Apparelyzed there was a "Boring Thread" where this would have been an appropriate post).TM 2004 T12 incomplete

Media Contacts
Efforts to give more babies a healthy start in life by avoiding medically unnecessary early deliveries are beginning to show results, the March of Dimes said today.
The March of Dimes comments came as new hospital-based statistics released today by The Leapfrog Group show that medically unnecessary c-sections and inductions performed before 39 weeks are on the decline. About 39 percent of about 750 hospitals that voluntarily report to Leapfrog report an early elective delivery rate of 5 percent or less, up from about 30 percent last year.
For more than two years, the March of Dimes has been working with hospitals, health policy experts, and partner organizations to implement a toolkit that helps hospitals put in place policies and practices to reduce the number of medically unnecessary c-sections and inductions scheduled before 39 weeks of pregnancy. The toolkit is part of the March of Dimes multi-pronged approach to achieving the goals of its national Prematurity Campaign. The March of Dimes has set a goal of lowering the national preterm birth rate to 9.6 percent of all live births by 2020. To learn more about the importance of a full-term pregnancy visit marchofdimes.org/39weeks
Research in 2008 by the March of Dimes and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that c-section deliveries accounted for nearly all of the increase in the U.S. singleton preterm birth rate between 1996 and 2004.
Preterm birth, birth before 37 weeks of pregnancy, is a serious health problem that costs the United States more than $26 billion annually, according to a 2006 Institute of Medicine report. It is the leading cause of newborn death, and one million babies worldwide die each year as a result of their early birth. Babies who survive an early birth often face the risk of lifelong health challenges, such as breathing problems, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities and others.
The March of Dimes says that if a pregnancy is healthy and there are no complications that require an early delivery, women should wait until labor begins on its own, or until at least 39 weeks of pregnancy. Many of the baby's important organs, including the brain and lungs, are not completely developed until then.

The woman is V4, as always.
The dress was modeled, no simulation, that's why it looks so pathetic.
The hair is available for sale at inlite studio (google it).
And the room was to create a mood that compliments the lighting.
So I got this image!
Thank you for checking it out.

Miami's already more than a fortnight back and we're slowly but surely getting back on our feet with tons of newies to be featured on our Miami Special Pt.2 thereafter talking about nuttin' but aural delites. On the image front, feel free to check some of the pictures we've taken over there on our M3 Gallery. Then we've renamed our In Da (Audio) Mix section, going for some more explicit title under the DJ's In Da Mix name with two contributions respectively from Chicagoan Julius the Mad Thinker and Toulouse based Lea Lisa, who also happens to open our newly launched DJ's On Da List section. As for our editorial team's concern, expect new names to appear very soon incl. NYC multi activist Peter Reyes by the end of this month. And, as hedonism doesn't have boundaries, new sections dedicated to the pleasure of the mouth ! Isn't life that beautiful for f*** sake ?
Props to Franck Roger widely contributing to this with his rework of Blaze 'Most Precious Love' with a damned silky touch thus having this title being our Single Of The Week for the second time.
MIAMI SPECIAL Pt.II
Time now to embark on our Miami Special Pt.2 report with what to be reminded as some of the essential tunes of this year's Florida gathering. So what you have to do is simply sit back, have a check, then eventually shop at your favourite store.
Dunno about you peeps, but apart from the already released 'Somethin' Wit Jazz' and 'Love Will', respectively by Mr V and Stephanie Cooke, I've found it quite hard this year - as our Swiss pal Michael Fossati of spiritofhouse.com - to find a cut really above the rest. Could it be because of the scene being so diverse and somehow… divided with fans firmly hanging on to their heroes as opposed to taking the opportunity they had to look out for some different vibes ? Or because, the quality level has undoubtly reached a few steps higher, havin'us being torn between too many things worth to mention ??? Maybe both of those realities at the end of the day. This being one of the reasons of having us taking some x-tra time before delivering this column. And believe this, although you may not have heard of many of the references therafter anywhere else, the ones we've decided to get your attention to are absolute and timeless must haves and I couldn't help myself deeply thanking those who've honoured us while feeding our appetite.
As one would guess in those times of drastic change, we've been given an increasing amount of CDR's this year in comparison to vinyls this year, many of them eventually featuring short snippets as opposed to full versions, following here a path which would be opened quite a while ago by Masters At Work. Talking about their traditional bag of newiies, it has been limited to its simplest expression featuring a 5 track vinyl sampler and the usual yearly CD mix assembled by Albert Cabrera. Works worth the attention including the hypnotic 'Let's Get Jazz' by Louie Vega featuring Mr V and the much awaited MAW featuring Vikter Duplaix 'In The Real World' on the vinyl and a whole bunch of awaited newies on the CD featuring the latest, the brilliant 'Life Ain't What It Seems' by Sterling Ensemble featuring Sara Divine, the recently released 'Free' by Stephanie Mills on Expansion, the seducive Jennifer Lopez's 'Get Right' and the ultra sensuous and classy 'Amazing Love' by Anane.
The Blaze presents UDAFL Keep Hope Alive project is obviously doing pretty good with current and forthcoming releases on different labels. Firstly as a whole on SuSu label (could it to be that remix concept on which rumours have come to our ears), on its homelabel (King Street) with the latinesque title track featuring the sweety Dawn Tallman. Not to mention the numerous remixes of 'Most Precious Love' on Defected including a top class contribution from Franck Roger on what is to be our current Single Of The Week. As for their West End label, expect forthcoming goodies by the likes of Steal Vybe (on the atmospheric tip with 'Odyssey') some soulful vibes by Mr A.L.I. the winner of this year's WE competition with the cool and friendly 'Thinking Back', the most awaited 'Sunshine' by Aid To The SoulLess featuring Latrice Burnett which we happened to talk to you a year ago while being given a copy of it by Julius The Mad Thinker, Ginger House featuring Pegy on a Sade-like vein with 'Sewing Seeds' and the retro discofunked feel 'A Love Mystery' by Passaro.
2005 looks like in the footsteps of 2004 for Jellybean label with an impressive list of forthcoming hot tunes from the solid 'Lift Up Your Hand' by Xodus featuring Dawn Tallman and the subtle 'Reachin' by Instinct featuring Kenny Bobien both retouched by B.O.P. to the Afro Cubanised 'Ven Y Baila' by. Jellybean featuring Leah & Innersoul. Meanwhile NJ label Soul Groove steps into the jazz influenced territory with the smart 'It's Alright' courtesy of Soul Creation featuring SuSu Bobien.
On the heavyweight front, also gotta check out Kerri Chandler's new works incl. the much sout after 'Bar A Thym' on a quite hypnotic vein, meanwhile Dennis Ferrer who's currently putting the final touches to his awaited debut long player on Sfere has taken some time to 'sensualize' the soulful and vibrant 'Life Everlasting' by Glenn Lewis featuring Mjojo & Bongani on Funk La Planet. Not to mention Joe Claussell (also due to drop his first LP this year), with the magnificient 'Sampu' to be released any time now by NYC defunct Dubspot record shop owner, Makoto Ki on her own label.
Another ones of our favs, Quentin Harris drops the tribally Easternised M'Bifo using his Epod post production guise on Fall Out before adding his typical approach to Trina's soulful 'Joy' on Restricted Access. Meanwhile expect the names of Blvd East & Lou Gorbea + the one of Eric Frazier aka EWonder to appear amongst the most serious contenders around due to the quality of their current and forthcoming works, as shown on our Tennerz thereafter.
It takes only 4 to 5 hours by bus to go to King Britt's hometown (Philadelphia) and the ride is worth to be done with our man as inspired as ever. For those in search for sensuous vibes, his rework of Ellie Perez 'La Vida' is an absolute model of the genre, as emotive as his relifting of 'Our Time' by Scuba featuring Lizz Fields. The ones turned onto those balearic sounds championed by Jose Padilla may well find their happiness while listening to his brand new version of 'Warm Summer Nights' by - you've guessed it… - Chic !!! And if that wasn't enough, he's also updated the classic 'War' by Edwin Starr turning it into some other piece of fine art, before giving some extra plaintive emphasis to the late Curtis Mayfield's 'Little Child Running Wild'. Ooh my man, Britt, you're da king !
Crossing the US from East to West is by far another affair, having us giving a visit to Charles Spencer's Loveslap! Label who, alongside David Harness looks set to provide us with jazzy chillin' abstract house vibes including the phonky 'Taboo Jazz' blended with a light drop of post disco influences + the frantic electro synths based 'Dance Now' on his own.
From the Paradax stable, we have the '12 :30 am Dub Project' dealing with raw vibes but first and foremost the friendly 'It's A Moody Thing' by Soulato's alongside Bernard Harris who happens to be one of the most exciting vocalist around as also demonstrated on Jesse Outlaw's current 'Love You So' on Chicago based label Eargasmic. The same label dropping the hypnotic and jazzy 'Man On Fire' from the 'Puzzle Project EP' by The Enigma enlighted with lush xylophone parts. Not that much in comparison alas to expect from Anthony Nicholson's Necessary Phazes LP on Track Mode apart from the opening 'Thinking Of You' on this typical USG vein. Meanwhile his former partner, Ron Trent, drops the 2nd installment of his Ital Foods guise on Atal music on a cool dubby atmospheric groover called 'Dub Life' ready to find its niche at François K.'s Deep Space sessions.
We gow now further North and cross the Canadian border up to Toronto, where King Sunshine hails from. A 10 piece band reknown for his backups for various top noted artists, going now on its own with its debut single. If geared towards jazz house, then check out the infamous Extended Remix of 'High On You' courtesy of MSM label head Andy Roberts, meanwhile you may already expect other works of their to be release later on on West End Records. Ending now our North American trip with a last stop in Montreal, where jojoflores's Gotsoul label drops a funky gem by the likes of Ashen & Walker featuring Shaun Escoffery delivered with remixes by Fred Everything (to me the best one) and Miguel Graça. Sister label Jamsteady dropping its 7th and 8th eponym volumes. The first of'em featuring the gorgeous 'Sunrise' by Norah Jones full of sensuous appeal, the familiar 'Rofo Part Revisited', given an Afrobeat feel courtesy of Trevor Walker and the ultra soulful 'On Jones Street' whereas you may recognize Grace Jones's voice with that infectious trumpet bridge widely speaking for itself. As for Jamsteady#8, it's features various versions of Vivian Green's vibrant 'Emotional Rollercaster' as revamped by Osunlade at the top of his art. Ppfew !
South Africa is by no doubt the last (fast) emerging country on the production front, not to mention the launch of their first Conference right after Miami, with activists such as Brothers Of Peace, DJ Fresh and others such has DJ Mbuso with the compact 'Golden Life' on Soul Candi, Brett Jackson & Orion's 'Nocturnal Sight' the keys parts of which are reminders of Playin' For The City's previous works and Black Coffe as shown on our Tennerz. A subject we'll give you further developments about with the help of YFM's broadcaster Greg M in the near future.
Amongst the most prolific (and inspired) producers for some time, UK producer Sir Piers provides us with another slice of beauty with the help of Los Amigos Invisibles and Shaun Escoffery on the classy and effective 'She's Gone Away' awaited on May 9 on Curious Records.
Hot on the heels of his debut album released by the end of last year, Needs member Lars Bartkuhn has extracted 2 cuts out of it to put'em on a limited 12'' edition incl. the awesome 'Discover The World' lookin' set to take the latin jazz house dancefloors by storm (Needs). Meanwhile Double Beat goes straight psyche jazz on 'Caught In The Act' and The Dining Room drop another piece of delicious cool tap dance on the cool & jazzy 'No Problem' as retouched by 7 Samurai (Schema).
Expect more to follow in the weeks to come. MFSB
BROTHERS OF PEACE Sikukhuzile (advance)
Oh man, I guess I've never met people as genuinely talented and humble as those people hailing from South Africa, from DJ Fresh to Greg @ YFM and this collective better known as Brothers Of Peace. And what another lesson of known how they provide us with here with this traditionally sung delicate stomper
JOE CLAUSSELL Sampu (advance)
Not to sure about the way you spell the title. Nevertheless, can't help thinking about this new piece of atmospheric heaven due to appear some time on defunct NYC Dubspot record shop owner's label according to what Melting Pot NYC resident Kervyn Mark told me.
BLVD EAST featuring CHARLIZE Take Me With You (advance)
Life is hopefully made of those good surprises when you happen to meet someone you deeply feel connected and vice versa. It's exactly what occured a year ago when Blvd East and NYC Ashé DJ/producer Lou Gorbea came to know each other From this has resulted a sampler of their common works that the latest gave me in Miami and you've gotta believe this the threesome have really got what it takes, as most brilliantly demonstrated on this gorgeous slice of silky intimate jazzy soulful groover and it's far from being the only one on display. Watch this pace !
NORAH JONES Sunrise - Jason Barham Therapy Dub (Jamsteady)
From the Jamsteady series #7 of the likes comes this absolute sensuous gem by jazz rising star Norah Jones with additional work by Canadian newcomer Jason Barham
INSTINCT featuring KENNY BOBIEN Reachin' - B.O.P. Remix (Jellybean/advance)
Expect another drop of serious juice to come out of the Jellybean stable this year as shown on their Miami sampler featuring the ever active Kenny Bobien at his peak on this subtle and percussive groove reworked by B.O.P.
JESSE OUTLAW featuring BERNARD HARRIS Love You So (Eargasmic)
Without a doubt, the best production coming out of Chicago, courtesy of the association between producer Jesse Outlaw and singer Bernard Harris taking us on some simple and fluid but soulful affair.
MIKIEL Say It Ain't So (Slaag)
A somehow dark atmospheric jazzyphonk affair, the effect of which aptly suffering the comparison with works from both Carl Craig or Ron Trent if not somehow King Britt, courtesy of NJ producer Eric Frazier. A name that we've definitely added on our chat search list.
GLENN LEWIS featuring MJOJO & BONGANI Love Everlasting (Funk La Planet)
Quite an aerial soulful affair this is with the help of Dennis Ferrer. Let the emotion flow.
BLACK COFFEE Happiness (advance)
Another piece of absolute atmospheric soulful delight which I happened to be provided with by South African producer Thato Silkwame aka DJ Fresh as a part of the Sheer Music/Soul Candi Sampler. A shiny melody over a cool groover with positive lyrics.
GROOVE JUNKIES featuring INDEYA Musc's Gotcha Jumpin' (MoreHouse/Advance)
From the MoreHouse Miami 2005 6 tracks sampler, a directive jazzy swing along with a retro disco/funk feel melted with clever breakdowns dubbed with filtered effects. In other words, fusing the right elements to rock the floors.

He said British Crime Survey statistics showed crime had not fallen in London, despite Wednesday's figures from the Metropolitan Police (Met).
Mr Paddick has promised to cut crime in London by 20% during his first term if he is elected.
He also told BBC London he would improve public transport, with a plan to shorten bus routes to curb delays.
Mr Paddick said the Met's figures were not as accurate as the British Crime Survey's statistics. The survey questions 3,500 Londoners to try to draw an accurate picture of crime in the capital.
The former policeman said: "During the run-up to the last election Ken said he would cut crime by 50%. Whichever measure you take, the police's or the British Crime Survey, Ken hasn't cut crime anything like 50%."
On transport, Mr Paddick said he objected to the extension of the Freedom pass for over-60s to include rush hour travel, saying it would add to congestion for commuters.
He proposed shortening bus routes so buses were less affected by delays, and use GPS tracking to stagger buses.
Mr Paddick won 73% of the first preference votes during the Lib Dem contest.
'Stop the slaughter'
This year two teenagers have been stabbed to death in London while 26 teenagers were killed on the city's streets last year.
Mr Paddick said: "I have a track record of performance against Londoners' number one concern; crime... It's time for someone who can stop the slaughter on our streets.
"I will cut crime in London by every year over the course of my first term in City Hall.
"And I will take personal control of ensuring this target is met by chairing the Metropolitan Police Authority. If I fail to reach my target after four years, I will not stand again."
As the Metropolitan Police Borough Commander for Lambeth in 2000, Mr Paddick's approach to cannabis - which saw officers cautioning rather than arresting people caught with the drug - brought him to prominence.
Mr Paddick, who resigned from the Metropolitan Police in May 2007, will be competing with the current mayor Ken Livingstone, the Labour Party candidate, and the Tory candidate Boris Johnson.

The Child Advocacy Program (CAP) at Harvard Law School is committed to advancing children's interests through facilitating productive interaction between academia and the world of policy and practice, and through training generations of students to contribute in their future careers to law reform and social change. We are committed to a broad vision of advocacy, working both in and outside of the courtroom, as well as across disciplinary lines.
CAP provides:
- Academic courses, including Child, Family, and State, designed to educate students about substantive legal issues important to children, and Family Law, taught in alternating years.
- A policy workshop, Art of Social Change: Child Welfare, Education, and Juvenile Justice, designed to bring into the HLS classroom leading child advocates and policy-makers from different disciplines and practice settings (e.g., law, medicine, social science, academia, child welfare agencies, state and federal legislatures), engaging students in important debates as to how best to advance children's interests, and exposing students to a range of career paths relevant to this work.
- A law clinic, the Child Advocacy Clinic, designed to educate students about the wide variety of ways in which they can use their legal abilities to work for children. Students are placed with different organizations and agencies using various methods to advance children's interests, including direct services, impact litigation, policy reform, administrative advocacy, and more. They bring their different experiences into the clinic seminar so that everyone can learn from the rich combination of fieldwork placements and debate the benefits and limitations of different approaches.
- An academic research and writing seminar, Future of the Family, where students who are interested in delving deeply into an issue affecting children, and/or who are interested in policy work more generally, write an in-depth research paper, receiving extensive guidance and feedback on their work.
- A center to:
- Support students at HLS interested in children's issues through various activities beyond the formal course offerings, including: speakers, panel discussions, and film events, and information regarding paid and volunteer opportunities for students during their HLS years, as well as career opportunities post-graduation.
- Engage the larger community of academics and activists interested in children's issues, through, e.g., conferences and cooperative work on law reform projects.

The default apps on an iPhone have long been a source of frustration for iPhone users that don't have enough space. The apps could not be deleted, which usually left you in a situation where you had to hide them in folders.
Fortunately the release of iOS 10 has allowed for these apps to be deleted, which can remove some Home screen clutter, and free up some of your storage space. One of the default apps, GarageBand, takes up a lot of that space. Our guide below will show you how to delete the GarageBand app from your iPhone 7 in the iOS 10 operating system.
Removing the GarageBand App in iOS 10
The steps in this article are going to delete the default Garageband app that came with your iPhone 7. These steps were performed on an iPhone running the iOS 10 operating system. This option is not available in earlier versions of iOS. If you decide later that you want the GarageBand app back, you can go to the App Store, search for it, and download it again.
Step 1: Locate the GarageBand app icon on your Home screen. Note that you may need to swipe left or right if it is not on the active Home screen.
Step 2: Tap and hold on the GarageBand app icon for a few seconds, until a small x appears at the top-left corner of the icon.
Step 3: Tap the red Delete button to confirm that you wish to remove the app from your device.
Would you prefer that other people who can use your iPhone not see who you have called, or who has called you? Read this article to learn how to delete the call history on your iPhone.
