Wonder Woman's female director conquers box office
Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman took $100.5m (£78.09m) at the US/Canada box office this weekend – the biggest domestic debut for a female director.
Jenkins beat the previous record set by Sam Taylor-Johnson for Fifty Shades of Grey, which opened with $85.1m in 2015.
Wonder Woman, starring Israeli actress Gal Gadot, has received largely positive reviews from film critics.
Hollywood is known for its reluctance to hire female directors, especially for blockbuster superhero movies.
|Top openings from female film directors in North America
|1) Wonder Woman (2017) – $100.5m
|Patty Jenkins
|2) Fifty Shades of Grey (2015) – $85.1m
|Sam Taylor-Johnson
|3) Twilight (2008) – $69.6m
|Catherine Hardwicke
|4) Frozen (2014) – $67.4m
|Jennifer Lee, Chris Buck
|5) Brave (2012) – $66.3m
|Brenda Chapman, Mark Andrews
Wonder Woman is the first female-led superhero film to be directed by a woman.
"Globally this property has just resonated with fans," said Warner Bros' distribution chief Jeff Goldstein.
"There's something iconic about… the story of Wonder Woman that's hitting the zeitgeist perfectly."
Wonder Woman was also number one in the UK, earning £6.18m over the weekend. However, that was not enough to beat Sam Taylor-Wood's £13.5 million opening weekend for Fifty Shades of Grey in 2015.
Gadot made her debut as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice last year.
Goldstein said the studio knew they had "something special" after the reception to Gadot in that film.
"While the story was critically tough, she emerged as a real bright spot," Goldstein said.
Prior to Wonder Woman, Jenkins was best known for her 2003 Oscar-winning film Monster, based on the life of serial killer Aileen Wuornos. Charlize Theron won an Oscar for her leading role in the film.
The only other major release this weekend was Fox's Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie, which took $23.5m (£18.2m).
Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales was in third in its second week of release with about $21.6m (£16.74m).

Unfortunately media coverage biased here and the war is not telling the truth. We are under missile attack from Gaza into our cities and our citizens. Every day more than a hundred rockets sent to all the cities of Israel. True we have good Means of protection, yet it's impossible to live like this! We try to protect ourselves and the world remains silent when Assad murders of thousands of his people, the great terrorist attacks in Baghdad and somehow we Israelis must apologize that we manage to intercept the missiles. If we die of them, the world would treat it differently. No civilized country in the world would react differently from us constant firing of rockets into its territory! We are a democratic country, a large majority of our citizens want peace and are trying to find peaceful solutions to the conflict, the world must understand that Hamas is a terrorist organization! My sister's children are afraid to go to the bathroom, suffer from anxiety and stomach pains. Today we sat again into the defense, when the alarm sounds outside. A dark world is the world of human beings.
From the morning 300 missiles over Israeli cities, at the civilian population, what would you do if you they where shooting missiles at your cities for 12 years? We want peace, but the Islamic terrorist trying to destroy the whole world!

Since the inception of the fourth Central Bank Gold Agreement September 27th of last year, sales by European central banks have been nearly nonexistent. But that was before the euro began to implode and fractures appeared in the Eurozone itself. Now governments have to fiercely cut back expenditures. They must do this to the extent that the reaction is certain to be social unrest. As it is, Greece is not only suffering already, but its key revenue driver, tourism, is suffering badly (25% down already this year) thus cutting tax revenues and making government book-balancing even more difficult. To many people out there, the gold holdings of such banks should be sold to shore up such shortfalls. Would European central banks agree?
Gold as a Reserve Asset
Take a look at the table here. (Supplied by www.bullionvault.com) In all cases, the contribution that the proceeds of gold sales would make would, in all cases, barely dent the problem. So it is not a cure for a nation's debt. You may ask, what purpose do gold reserves serve, if not to be sold when times are hard? The only way to answer this is to take an individual as the nation. He has some gold hidden away for a rainy day. He is asked by his bank manager to repay his overdraft, but he can't, not without a long-term plan to pay it off slowly against income. His bank manager tells him to liquidate his gold and put that into the account. He does this and finds that with that final reserve gone any emergency that hits him out of the blue from then on will simply destroy him financially. So he decides that when those dire times hit, he will keep his gold for the time when nothing he says and does is believed or accepted. Then, when he produces gold it has a value that his actions cannot affect. It has a value everywhere to anyone. This external value is what will keep him in business and allow him to slowly recover. Essentially, that is the role of gold as a reserve asset.
Why Did Europe Sell Gold from 1999?
Every time nations sold gold over the last 35 years, it has been to try to give credibility to a new role for a currency.
• The U.S. did it in the 1970s, as the U.S. dollar, as well as being the petro-currency, went international (cutting its link with gold first).
• The IMF did it at a time when it and the U.S. wanted the Special Drawing Rights to replace gold in the monetary system. (Nations would not accept this, which is why the S.D.R. is a paper currency only in the IMF's books.)
• Then Europe did the same when the euro was launched.
In the first two instances, the impression was given by the U.S. and the IMF that gold sales would go on until gold was no longer part of the system. This forced the price of gold to fall from its peak of $850 to $275. Accompanied by "accelerated production and sales" of gold in the market, this campaign ('gold was a barbarous relic') was believed, until this century.
But when European central banks decided to sell, they emphasized that it was still an important reserve asset and that they would sell no more than a maximum amount. The removal of the unlimited gold sales allowed the market to quantify the impact on the gold price. As a result, the gold price has moved from just under $300 to the peak of $1,250 thus far—an average price increase of 43% per annum on the lowest price.
Now, no longer a barbarous relic, it is preserving value at a time when currencies value and credibility are losing theirs. Each week in the newsletter we report the activity of central banks in the gold market and as you can see there, selling has been minimal while buyers have bought over 350 tons since September of last year. Behavior was similar in 2009 when over 400 tons of gold were bought by central banks and sales turned to a trickle. Since February of this year, European central banks have sold just one ton of gold.
The true value of gold for a central bank and a nation, is that when its currency is threatened, whether by deflation (and as we have seen the price of gold rise in deflationary environments) inflation, falling confidence in national currencies, or even war. What we have seen is that when all else fails, gold is exchangeable even between enemies. This quality transcends its value as just money.
Fortunately, we are not there yet. This is not such a desperate time (when all else has failed) so central banks will keep a firm grip on the gold they have, while others with too little, particularly in Asia, will do all that is reasonable to acquire more.

For the first time since the war London is about to host a comprehensive exhibition of Cézanne's work. Norbert Lynton assesses the painter's place in the pantheon and asks whether he is the grandfather of Damien Hirstby Norbert Lynton / January 20, 1996 / Leave a comment
It was Cézanne who occasioned Lynton's Second Law. To be more exact, it was the way a student of mine, aspiring art historian and show-off, explained him away in a tutorial. Cézanne was this, did that and his role in art was such and such. The slides he had brought reinforced what he said, but they also contradicted it. Later that day I came up with my law. It has its uses, not only for Cézanne. It states that when you are discussing a work of art with all seriousness and find that whatever you say is no truer than its opposite, you are discussing a great work of art.
In December 1895 Cézanne had his first exhibition, at Vollard's gallery in Paris. It brought him a few new friends and admirers, much younger than himself. In 1903 he was still being denounced for producing "pictorial insanities." In 1906 he died. There had been an important exhibition of his work in 1904; in 1907 there was a show of his watercolours at a Paris gallery and then a general retrospective at the Grand Palais. This is when he became "the father of modern art," according to many avant garde artists and critics. It's a wise child that knows its own father. There were plenty who borrowed from him this or that bit of style. Others looked deeper and found many different Cézannes.
In England Roger Fry was a sudden convert. Like other painters he had sensed Cézanne's sincerity but, at first, been distanced by the clumsiness almost everyone spoke of. In 1910 he published in the Burlington Magazine his translation of a piece by the painter Maurice Denis, establishing Cézanne's classic status. Denis, generally clear-headed, found it difficult to be precise about Cézanne and said so. He too referred to his "persistent gaucherie, his happy na?t?quot;
Later that year Fry organised an exhibition and launched a term which attracted almost universal ridicule. He brought together a large collection of French paintings ranging from Manet to Picasso and Matisse, and called it "Manet and the Post-Impressionists." There were 21 Cézannes in the show, 37 Gauguins, 20 van Goghs. The point was to show Londoners that French art had moved on from Impressionism, rejecting its dependence on visual effects for the sake of greater expressiveness and coherence.
Fry was soon defending Cézanne: "I see no evidence of clumsiness. On the contrary,…

Brian Stouder left an interesting comment on the previous post about my "Longing for a City" talk:
If I was going to ask a question – it would have been what you thought of the old Fort Wayne's massive mistake of NOT adding an expressway along with the railway elevation project, back in the day. My dad (who grew up in Fort Wayne in the '30's and 40's, and came of age in the '50's) always used to express mortification at our city's decision to skip the expressway – and the reasons for that rejection.
Indeed, the News-Sentinel ran a very big and informative feature series on just that subject something like 10 or 15 years ago (written, in whole or in part, by Alan Derringer, as I recall) which confirmed all the things my dad always used to say.
If the expressway had existed, the bypasses wouldn't have the glitter (and the concurrent development) that they attained, and the city would be all the more vibrant – in my opinion.
Which begs the question – why WOULD we really "miss" (at least the attitudes) of old Fort Wayne? They certainly had consequences.
The reasons for that rejection, if I remember correctly, was pure and simple racial prejudice, at least according to The News-Sentinel article referenced above.
Now, that's a lousy reason, but I'm not sure an urban expressway — that would later have become Interstate 69 — is an 100 percent positive thing.
One obvious problem is the destruction of in-the-way neighborhoods and buildings, and considering we're talking about the 1950s, who knows what treasures we would have lost.
But a second problem is the cleaving of the city in two along this manmade border. An interstate highway is a dead zone through a city with too-few connections, and those connections are stark bridges and dark underpasses.
But what do you think? Would the benefits of an urban expressway have outweighed the detriments?

In part nine of this series on interpreting Proverbs, we finished looking at the fourth guideline that focused on looking for literary clues. In the next two posts, we will look at the book's theological framework to assist with interpreting individual passages.
V. Proverbs' Theological Framework
To understand individual passages in Proverbs, we must understand the book's explicit theological framework. We can see its theological structure by examining its purpose and theme and its characteristic motifs. With this post we will look at Proverbs' purpose and theme.
A. Individual proverbs or units and the book's purpose and theme
Unlike many books in the Bible, Proverbs explicitly announces its purpose and theme in the opening part of the book, 1:2–7.
1. Proverbs' purpose
The purpose of Proverbs is expressed in 1:2–6. There is a twofold emphasis in this statement of purpose.
One emphasis in Proverbs is to develop moral wisdom, vv. 2a, 3–4. Solomon's purpose in proverbs includes helping one "to know wisdom and instruction." The word translated as "wisdom" is a term that focuses on developing "skill." In Proverbs this term emphasizes biblically-informed skill in living. In light of vv. 3–4, this skill relates to living a life that is morally pleasing to God. The term translated as "instruction" emphasizes "discipline" or "training." Its emphasis in this context is on a training to develop one's moral nature.
A second emphasis in Proverbs is to develop mental wisdom, vv. 2b, 6. The last clause in v. 2, "to discern the sayings of understanding," emphasizes one learning how to compare ideas and make evaluations about subjects. This emphasis is clearly seen in v. 6, emphasizing an understanding of proverbs, parables, and riddles. This type of discernment emphasizes one's mental acumen.
2. Proverbs' theme
The theme of Proverbs is found in 1:7, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction." This reverential fear is the Old Testament counterpart of the New Testament concept of saving faith. The fear of the LORD expresses itself in reverential submission to God and whatever He commands. This type of fear is the "beginning of knowledge." The Old Testament concept of "beginning" can refer to that which is "first" or to that which is "primary and controlling." In Proverbs, the concept of "beginning" does not primarily mean that the fear of the Lord is the "starting point" of knowledge. Rather, the fear of the Lord is a "primary and controlling element" in developing wisdom. This same theme is restated in 9:10, toward the conclusion of the first section of material in Proverbs. As such, it sets the parameters for this unit.
My next blog entry on Proverbs will develop three emphases in Proverbs that indicates the book's overall structure.

When you log in to Tonido's web interface, all Tonido applications except TonidoPlug Admin are disabled.
There are four possible causes:
- The TonidoPlug's internal storage space is full. If this is the case, you will see an "Internal Disk Full" error message on the Tonido web interface.
- You updated the TonidoPlug's software and forgot to update your applications.
- You haven't attached a USB or SATA disk storage to the plug or haven't set the user data directory path to the connected storage correctly.
- Your attached Hard disk drive is going to power sleeping mode and tonido detects that and will disable apps to avoid filling the internal storage
(1) The TonidoPlug's internal storage space is very limited. Unless you attach an external storage device, your Tonido applications will run out of space. To fix this, simply connect a storage device and then restart the TonidoPlug by unplugging it and plugging it back in.
To free up room on the TonidoPlug's internal memory, launch TonidoPlug Admin, open the Disks tab, and then click Cleanup Space.
(2) Remember that upgrading your TonidoPlug is a two-step process: first, you need to update the core Tonido software, and then your applications need updated to work with the new version. To fix this, follow the steps in upgrading to latest Tonido.
(3) See Step 6 of Installation, First Steps
(4) Disable power saving mode on your hard drive

This article predicts lifetime of high cycle fatigue loading using Chaboche-Lemaitre damage model. The Chaboche-Lemaitre damage model takes into account mean stress effect as well as compressive stresses effect, making crack to close. In
the this paper, a numerical algorithm is offered to integrate this model implicitly and the obtained algorithm is implemented as a user material subroutine of the ABAQUS finite element software. To reduce computation time, Jump-in-Cycles procedure is used based on fatigue loading simulation. To verify the proposed algorithm, a V-notched specimen is chosen under a fatigue loading with different stress ratios, and its lifetime is compared with experiments. Next, an aviation industry part, main rotor spindle of an aircraft blades, subjected to a variable fatigue loading is analysed.

Paul Hollywood and his wife Alexandra have been granted a divorce decree on the ground of adultery, in a court hearing that reportedly lasted less than a minute.
Neither the Great British Bake Off judge or the driving instructor-turned-food writer were there to receive the verdict, reports the Mirror. District Judge Robert Duddridge granted the nisi - which brings them one step closer to finalising their divorce - at the Central Family Court in London on Friday 19 July.
The pair first called time on their marriage in 2013, when it emerged that Hollywood had been having an affair with American chef Marcela Valladolid while filming the US version of Bake Off in the States.

A few months later, they reconciled, with Alexandra recalling that she "wanted to make it work." But in November 2017, they ended their relationship for good.
"It was over," Alexandra previously told The Telegraph. "I didn't have to make a decision, that was it. The only decisions for me then were about me son, about my future.
"I mean, that is a lot. Divorce is tough, very tough. You don't expect it, you are in shock, and all of a sudden you are on your own."
Hollywood, 53, is currently dating 24-year-old barmaid Summer Monteys-Fullam.
It has been reported that he faces a £5 million payout to Alexandra in the wake of their split. Earlier this month, Judge Martin O'Dwyer revealed that a week-long trial to resolve financial remedy proceedings will begin on Monday 22 July.

"No one should underestimate how separation and divorce can hit you," Alexandra previously told Prima magazine.
"I compare it to a moment where you're driving along the motorway and then the next moment, something beyond your control happens and you're driving in a completely different direction.
"You have to give yourself time to get your head round it."

US forces attack innocents in Irbil (Hawler), current capital of Kurdistan
"I think this was a stupid unnecessary job. Kurdistan enjoys a high level of peace and prosperity comparing to the rest of Iraq.Maybe "not" our finest moment.
Logically, when you want to capture someone, you don't take your whole army there. No need for helicopters, no need for fighter jets. We have police forces who speak the local language. You contact the local police, and you send a 5-6 of your guys, you go to that address and find who you want.
It seems that the US commander in Iraq is a military man who doesn't speak the language of politics and "winning hearts and minds".
I think that the US military are very good in losing "Hearts & Minds". So last night, many hearts and minds were lost in a place known until last night as a "pro-US area". "

5 highlights of studying Events Management at Cardiff Met – so far
My name is Leah More and I recently started studying Events Management at Cardiff Met. I moved here in September 2018 from Chesterfield.
Moving away for uni was the most nerve-wracking thing I've ever done – I would be 4 hours away from all my family and friends for up to 4 months at a time.
Now, after just one term, I've made lots of friends and things are going great with my course. Here are five of the highlights of my time at uni so far:
1. Moving in day
It was a little scary moving with everything I own in my mum's car to Cardiff. As soon as we arrived, we were shown to my flat for the next year.
It was definitely worth paying attention to the many university lists of what to take to university with you – they are extremely helpful, as is the university's accommodation website. I'd really recommend making your own lists too and checking you've packed everything the night before!
2. Meeting new people
As soon as I arrived at halls I met my flat mate Menna and we became fast friends – after meeting for about an hour we went to Tesco shopping, and when we first met our other new flat mates they thought we were sisters!
It was slightly awkward for all of us on that first day – the quiz night with pizza that Plas Gwyn halls organised was a great ice breaker, but when we came back to our accommodation, we all sat round the table in the kitchen and dead silence! Literally it was the worst thing that you can think of, everyone was on their phones not talking. You would never have guessed that now – none of us ever shut up!
Luckily there was a flat celebrating across the corridor – me and my flat mate Awen saw them and they were waving us over. We looked at each other and decided to join them. I'm so glad we did – that night I met 4 new people who are now my closest friends at university!
It's worth being outgoing and friendly towards everyone you meet on your first day – you never know who you will become friends with.
3. The course
I have learned so much from this course from only 3 months of lectures. I'm enjoying it so much. I have met some great people on my course that have helped me to grow. They've made me more competitive too, and bringing this side out will really help me in the long run on the course and in industry.
My first day of lectures was scary but also exciting – I met new people and made friends with similar interests. During that first week our lecturers gave us an introduction to the degree, and also provided an exercise to help with making new friends on the course.
It was a group picture and hashtag trail around lots of different places in Cardiff to showcase the city and help us get to know each other.
4. Party time!
It's time to party! My flatmates and I prefer to stay on campus and have flat parties than going out into town. We play games and listen to music. We had a flat party the first night of university, and since then we've had lots of themed parties including a Halloween-eve party where everyone dressed in costumes.
I prefer flat parties to going out because I can talk more and get to know new people. I've met new people every time we have had a flat party that have become close friends – much more than people I have met in clubs.
5. Organising our course event
As part of the Events Management course we were split into three groups with each responsible for planning and executing an event. I was put with 10 other individuals to plan and execute a Christmas quiz night with the aim of making a profit on the budget we were given.
We also had to choose which position in the team we wanted – I chose the role of secretary as I had experience in being organised and documenting meetings. We held weekly meetings where we discussed and confirmed ideas for our event.
We had to do a presentation in front of our lecturers and our peers. On the night I was in charge of making the food and serving it to the customers. The event was a great success and resulted in us celebrating in town and having a great night.
There have been lots of highlights this year – I can't wait to see what next year brings!

Wu victorious in Chinese derby
WU Yibing beat compatriot Li Zhe 7-6 (5), 6-2 in a first-round Chinese derby at the 2018 Rolex Shanghai Masters in Qizhong Tennis Center last night.
Both players entered the main draw as wildcard holders but it is Wu who progresses to the next stage where he will face eighth seed Kei Nishikori from Japan.
It was a first-time ATP tour level tournament meeting between the two players.
Li broke Wu in the opening game but the 18-year-old broke back in the sixth to take the first set to a tie-break, which he claimed with an ace after the fourth time of asking. In the second set, Wu broke his opponent twice to take a 4-1 lead before eventually closing out the set 6-2.
"I didn't expect him to give me so much pressure at the beginning of the match," Wu said. "I played more patient today and did well mentally. It was my best game for a while. But I have much respect to Li, who is still competitive at his age."
Wu was runner-up at the 2018 Asian Games. He made his fame by winning the boys' singles and doubles titles at the 2017 US Open. Last year, he fell to Gilles Simon on his Shanghai Masters singles debut.
The rising star then encountered a difficult time, missing four months of competitions, from February to June, due to injuries. His world ranking fell to 422 before the Shanghai tournament.
Li, 32, was awarded a wildcard after becoming the only Chinese player to advance to the last-four of the Shanghai Challengers this year. Li is currently 251st in the ATP ranking, and is still seeking his first career win in an ATP World Tour main draw.
"I lost my pace a bit in the latter part of the match," said Li. "Wu did very well today. He was very aggressive. I can feel that he has made some adjustments in strategy and techniques in the past month. Being able to compete here is a recognition for both of us."
In a first-round doubles match, India's Divij Sharan and New Zealand's Artem Sitak needed no more than one hour to see off Chinese wildcard pair Zhang Ze and Gong Maoxin 6-3, 6-4.
"Our opponents played very well today in both serving and receiving first serves, which has been showcased in their statistics," said Zhang who will face Russia's Daniil Medvedev in his first-round match today.
"In the past few years I have been focused on singles. But from now on, I'll work on doubles too and my understanding of doubles matches is starting to be different."
"Our goal is to enter the top 100 in the ATP ranking," Zhang's partner Gong said. "We want to enter ATP tour tournaments by our rankings in the future, and hopefully advance to Grand Slams someday."
Zhang and Gong have worked with a new coach, Robert Davis, over the last three months.
"We are working on the fundamentals, including the body and fitness, returns and volleys. I'm trying to make them into an aggressive team," said the American coach. "It wasn't our best match today. Our opponents were just the better side and credit to them.
"Our return games are normally our strength. They are on the right track. In another four to five months, we shall be able to see more progress from them."
In other matches, 13th seed Borna Coric from Croatia beat wildcard Stan Wawrinka from Switzerland 4-6, 6-4, 6-3. The 14th seed Milos Roanic from Canada was eliminated by American qualifier Mackenzie McDonald 6-3, 5-7, 6-3.
American qualifier Bradley Klahn beat Australia's Nick Kyrgios 4-6, 6-4, 6-3. Marco Cecchinato from Italy saw off Frenchman Gilles Simon 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (2). Another Frenchman Gael Monfils was ousted by 10th seed Stefanos Tsitsipas from Greece 7-6 (4), 4-6, 6-4.
Sam Querrey and Taylor Fritz both won in straight sets to set up a second-round clash between the Americans. Querrey defeated ninth seed Diego Schwartzman 6-3, 6-4, while Fritz overcame Robin Haase 6-3, 7-6 (3). Another American Frances Tiafoe lost to Matthew Ebden 3-6, 6-4, 6-3.
Three-time Rolex Shanghai Masters winner Novak Djokovic will play Frenchman Jeremy Chardy in the second round today.

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- A federal appeals court has blocked a Bush administration proposal to alter the Clean Air Act to allow utilities, refineries and others to upgrade their facilities without meeting pollution standards.
The "new source review" rules were destined to go into effect Friday. The rules would have allowed companies to conduct repairs or routine maintenance on older facilities without installing expensive pollution-control equipment.
The older facilities were grandfathered in by the 1977 Clean Air Act, under the presumption that they would be taken off line as they became obsolete.
Ruling Wednesday on a challenge brought by 14 states, along with several cities, health and environmental groups, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to block the rules until the legal case can be heard and settled. A final ruling could be nearly a year away.
The states and cities contended that the new rules would harm the environment and lead to more illness and death.
The industry had argued that the old rules actually led to more pollution because companies were discouraged from making necessary repairs or upgrades to older plants that would improve their efficiency.
The new rules were approved by the Environmental Protection Agency in August. Read more about the rules.
"The real losers today are American consumers and workers," said Scott Segal, director of the Electricity Reliability Coordinating Council, an industry group made up of large utilities. "Granting a stay of the equipment-replacement rule is a setback for energy efficiency and environmental protection."
The court's ruling "represents a judicial repudiation of the Bush administration's attack on public health protections," said John Walke, director of clean-air programs for the National Resources Defense Council, a party to the suit.

Is this your first home improvement? You may not know what it is you must do.The following tips will make any home improvement project run a little quicker and smoother.
Add some sophistication to your living space by building a unique addition. A wine cellar or library brimming with shelves are wonderful spaces in any home. This will certainly impress guests and have an elegant place to live.
Repainting the porch may be necessary. Make sure you apply a high quality outdoor paint.
Consider a combo unit washer/dryer if you don't have much space available for a small space. The ease of having the same machine both wash AND dry clothes.
Safety should always be at the number one rule when you're doing home improvement work. There is a level of risk in any project that you work on, so read all the power tools instructions carefully and ask store associates for help if necessary.You can also use the Internet to find informative tutorials to get additional help.
You can use those baby food jars to organize your supplies.You can screw or superglue the lids under a wall shelf. You can put small items like nails and screws.This is a great way to maximize your space and efficiency.
Free up space on your nightstands and end tables by choosing a floor lamp instead of a table lamp. Pick a lamp that is different and that you really enjoy.
Use your old luggage rack to make a living room side table.Use this table to keep a lamp and your favorite magazines.
You should not underestimate the benefits that a nice door. Your guests will be seeing your door whenever they enter and exit through it. You may be losing a great deal of heat through a poorly fit and uninsulated door. A ratty door can also be a real security concern if the frame or the locks are not recent.
One thing you must do when tackling home improvement work is to keep some money aside for upgrades and repairs.
You can improve the look and feel by getting them re-glazed. A fresh glaze will help your bathroom look shiny and new. While replacing your bathroom floors or fixtures is costly, bathrooms could be glazed for a much cheaper price. This can make the worth of your house without spending very much money.
To maintain hot water while traveling through pipes during the winter, don't forget to insulate your pipes to keep the lines from freezing.Weatherizing tape for wrapping your plumbing and available from many retailers. This will keep your pipes from freezing and having to be replaced if they burst.
Make sure to provide adequate lighting when you remodel your bathroom. It's common to pay more attention to bathroom features than to lighting when remodeling, while forgetting the light brightness the fixtures allow is just as important. Look for lights to include around the medicine cabinet or mirror, and try to make sure the bulbs are easily replaceable.
Use fruit and flowers in order to provide your kitchen. This is a cheap fix that can instantly liven up your kitchen.
New blinds are an easy home improvement project that provides surprising results.
When remodeling a bathroom, think small. Replace your toilet paper rolls, mirrors, shower robs, and your light fixture. Add a coat of paint to liven things up. You don't have to go broke when making your bathroom for less money than you probably thought possible.
Smoke Alarms
You can reduce your homeowner's insurance by installing smoke alarms and checking them regularly. This works out best on older homes since insurance companies tend to assume that more recent homes are more fire-resistant. Smoke alarms can save money and your life one day.
Look out for patches of ground that are lower than their surroundings, including those near the foundation of the house. These areas should be filled with compacted soil so water no longer pools and erodes yards.
Get yourself a quality stainless steel taping knife if you plan to do sheetrock taping. This knife cleans easier and will last longer. If you buy a taping knife made of stainless steel, you probably won't ever need to buy another.
Motion detectors are a good exterior lighting choice.These types of light fixtures activate whenever there is movement so they only when activated and can alert you to an intruder. This will save you money in the long run.
Investing in additional insulation now can really save money over the long term. Many older homes do not insulated fully or are inadequately insulated. You can dramatically cut down on your heating and cooling bills by installing more insulation to a crawl space or attic.
Never go over your budget.Create a detailed budget and then stick with it until the end of your project.
Are you searching for a low cost way to make a big impact on the home? Form some rock walls and make your landscape look even better. You can find large rocks like this free of charge! There are several online sites that give instructions on garden path formation and stately flowers beds with rock slabs.
This can help you to look over your home fully so you're able to figure out what needs special attention. This also makes your home that looks great and more comfortable.
Avoid leaving your curtains open if your room is carpeted.
When tackling a remodeling or redecorating project, look for inspiration in magazines, interior design magazines and online images. Even if there is no home improvement project in your immediate future, finding and retaining ideas for later use can make your projects less stressful when you do decide to begin undertaking them. Also, you will be able to purchase materials ahead of time which may mean finding bargains, the expense of the project can be spread out.
Home improvement might not be as scary as you thought. Hopefully, this article has shown you that. Keep in mind the benefits you get and money that you can save by tackling your home improvement jobs.
Thanks for trusting Tulip for your door repair and home improvement services!

text: Burnandreturn Report post Posted July 23, 2011 I have a working prototype of my upright sheep shearing machine. I have a bad back and very bad knee's. So it is not possible for me to shear my sheep bent over all day. So I built this machine to put the sheep at waist height. I tried to buy a machine in Austrailia but the firm was not respondsive and did not do what they told me they would do. So I built one myself. I did not want my sheep to have to go up a ramp to get them at the correct height. So my machine lifts the sheep and tipps it over onto the table. It is very strange to shear sheep on the table. After shearing for so long in the conventional manner it takes some getting used to. The blow pattern is completely different. But after not many sheep I think I figured out an efficient pattern. If I had more sheep to practice on I think I would be just as fast on the machine as on the floor. After I sheared all my sheep on this contraption I was still fit! Not so if I had done it normally. Having had a broken back, neck and major knee surgery not to mention being sixty next year I think it will be a big help. I only post it here for you curious folks. I have no intention to try to sell them. It is a very expensive machine to build. It is hydraulically powered and has a Siemens PLC computer controlling the crate movement. There was a lot to learn just to build the damn thing! Nothing to reference the build on as far as dimensions. So my machine is very adjustable because I basically had no clue! I will be curious about you all's comments! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gxar5swPWIs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So many tips, so little time in each show.
In each episode of the DDP, Emily and Melanie offer 3 of their favorite tips, sites, apps, and recommendations in a segment known as "Tips on Tap" (cue Emily's radio announcer segment intro). A show favorite, many of you asked for more, and this week, you shall receive. The co-hosts are back this week and armed with 3x the tips.
1) Umano: News Read to You
Umano is an iPhone and Android app that picks about 50 online stories per day to be read by voice actors. The stories tend to be about technology and pop culture.
2) Happify
Happify is a brain training type of website that just launched and is claiming to "bring the latest scientific advancements in positive psychology and positive neuroscience to consumers in the form of games, activities, and exercises."
3) Swell

4) iOS7 text timestamps tip: If you want to check the time you or someone else sent a text message, swipe from right to left on the screen to check out the hidden timestamps.
5) Price Check by Amazon: Online retail giant Amazon has its own barcode scanning app. Compare in-store pricing with the prices offered on Amazon.com, as well as search product descriptions and customer reviews.
6) RepairPal: Flat tires. Mystery sounds. Car trouble happens to the best of us. Use this site to search by your car's make and model for a repair estimate and recommendation of "Top Shops" in your area.
7) Android tip: Create and store up to 6 offline maps. Enter Google Maps for Android and pull up the area of the map that you'd like to access offline. Select "Make this map area available offline" and the estimated size of the area in your map will appear on the screen. Great tool for travelers.
8) LinkedIn Group Notification Opt Out
We love LinkedIn, but with it's ever changing interface, it's easy to get a little lost when trying to change your settings. Go to the Privacy and Settings page and click the "Groups, Companies & Applications" tab. Below "Groups", click "Turn on/off notifications when joining groups." By default, this setting is automatically set to publish notifications. To turn it off, uncheck the box and click Save Changes.

10) Bring Fido: This site and app shows your city and surrounding areas and gives you the lowdown (including consumer reviews) on dog friendly hotels, restaurants, parks, etc. Great tool recently while looking for vacation rentals and restaurants with dog friendly patios.
11) Android tip: Long name? Tired of having to retype it? Next time you're in the middle of typing "Elizallisonetta" into your text field, long-press on it. This will add it to the dictionary, so you'll no longer have to type more than the first few characters of the word.
12) Instasize – If you're on Instagram, you've certainly faced that annoying moment when your fantastic IG photo doesn't fit within the square frame allowance of IG. Instasize lets you post entire photos on Instagram without cropping, offers more filter options, and other features, such as adding text to images. Available for iOS and Android.
13) Perfect365 in iOS store – This app has an excellent "key points" photo analysis feature, which finds your face in the photo and maps out your eyes, lips, skin, etc. If it doesn't get it right, (though it usually does) you can move the point around to make it just right. From there, you can apply dozens of preset full face layers, ranging from mod makeup to fake eyelashes, etc. You can also just make simple adjustments to specific features. The undereye tool is magic.
14) GroupShot – The idea of GroupShot is simple: take a bunch of similar photos of a group of people, and combine the best bits from each one to create the perfect group shot. Fix the one person who isn't smiling by taking their face from a separate photo in the series.
15) White Noise – Sleep sounds and so much more. Get some shut eye to classics like rain and ocean sounds, or dishwashers and mechanical hums for the modern sleeper. With timers and a custom alarm clock, it's one of the best sleep apps on the market.

Rampant Armagh secure play-off place
Richard Bullick reports
Armagh marched into the NFL Division Two play-offs by hammering Meath in Silverbridge where Dromintee's Aoife McCoy captured the headlines with a first half hat-trick of goals.
The home team came into the match knowing a draw would secure a top four finish with one round of fixtures remaining but they had the win well in the bag by the interval.
Stung by their defeat at table toppers Cavan last time out, James Daly's ladies showed a ruthless streak as they extended their 100 percent record at their Silverbridge base this season to four matches.
They led 6-7 to no score at the break, McCoy's three goals being supplemented by a brace from full forward Fionnuala McKenna and one major from captain Caroline O'Hanlon. Kelly Mallon kicked two points as did the skipper with one apiece courtesy of McCoy, McKenna and Aimee Mackin.
Meath's hopes, however remote, of getting in the shake-up for a play-off place had emphatically ended early. Having defeated Down and drawn with Clare they weren't mathematically out of it coming to Silverbridge but never looked like upsetting Armagh here.
The visitors did get the only goal of the second half but that was their sole score of the afternoon in contrast to Armagh – in spite of multiple changes – adding another nine points, four of them from All Ireland Player of the Year O'Hanlon with two each from McKenna and Mallon and Mackin kicking one.
Armagh have tended to make multiple changes from one match to the next during this league campaign and it was no different this time with four alterations in personnel accompanied by five positional switches.
In terms of the home team, the significant news was welcome first starts of the season for the Carrickcruppen pair of Marian McGuinness and Caitlin Malone along with stalwart Sharon Reel from Killeavy.
McGuinness was making her first Armagh appearance of the year having been sidelined by injury while Reel has been eased back via the bench having missed pre-season and Malone only recently returned to the panel after an absence.
That trio brings to an impressive 31 the numbers of players to have had at least one start for the Orchard outfit this term with a further three having seen some action as subs.
The fit-again McGuinness was, surprisingly, named at left corner back with one of five ever-presents this season, Sarah Marley, dropping out of the line-up and her older sister Caoimhe Morgan moving to full back.
Reel resumed in her familiar No 5 jersey at the expense of Dromintee's Shauna Grey while Malone's inclusion alongside her clubmate O'Hanlon in midfield was accommodated by switching Sinead McCleary to the centre half back berth normally occupied by Niamh Marley.
The fourth personnel change saw Sinead Finnegan of Carrickcruppen replace Moya Feehan from neighbouring Shane O'Neill's with three consequent positional switches.
With Finnegan listed at left half forward, Aoife McCoy moved over to the right flank but rather than Lauren McConville reverting to the corner where she played last year, the Crossmaglen girl was named at wing back.
The knock-on effect was natural defender Louise Kenny switching from left half back to the unfamiliar role of left corner forward at least on paper but Armagh have a sufficiently fluid formation that the numbers don't matter much.
The changes were presumably more about getting regulars like McGuinness and Reel back onto the field from the start of a game rather than as a direct consequence of the patchy performance against Cavan last time out but the Armagh management will have been demanding a more disciplined display with a lot less frees given away.
All Star corner back Mairead Tennyson was the only constant factor in the defensive formation from the last game and it was certainly an unfamiliar Orchard rearguard especially on the left but they kept a completely clean sheet in that first half.
It speaks volumes for the great versatility of McGuinness that this was the eighth position she has started in for Armagh under Daly and testament to her general fitness that she was parachuted straight back into the starting team.
Daly is still mixing and matching but this was a stronger side than he sent out for the last two home matches against Kildare and Clare with Finnegan the only player in yesterday's starting team from outside what most may regard as his top 20.
With a panel of 34 players, bench berths aren't guaranteed so every opportunity to come off the bench counts and the Armagh manager used eight of his subs in this game.
Frontline defenders Sarah and Niamh Marley were introduced along with their Lissummon clubmate Sarah Gamble while former captain Mags McAlinden came on as did Dromintee duo Shauna Grey and Sinead McCoy and Armagh Harps pair Cailin Duffy and Tanya McCoy.
ARMAGH: K Daly; M Tennyson, C Morgan, M McGuinness; S Reel, S McCleary, L McConville; C Malone, C O'Hanlon (capt; 1-6); A McCoy (3-1), K Mallon (0-4), S Finnegan; L Kenny, F McKenna (2-3), A Mackin (0-2). Subs used: S Marley, S Gamble, M McAlinden, N Marley, T McCoy, S McCoy, C Duffy, S Grey.

Navigating Washington state law can be difficult for retailers, producers, and processors doing business in the legalized cannabis industry. Add the fact that the federal government still views cannabis as illegal, and it makes sense that, at some point, a cannabis business owner is going to need legal advice.
Much like Washington state-chartered banks and credit unions, which have chosen to offer banking services to cannabis industry professionals, a handful of Puget Sound law firms have emerged to offer legal expertise. Seattle University School of Law offers programs on cannabis law and even a Cannabis Law Society to educate students on the issue.
Seattle-based Gleam Law, which works with clients on the Eastside and has offices in California, Oregon, and Washington, is a leading cannabis law firm. Attorney Neil Juneja offered insights into this new field of corporate law.
Q: Is cannabis law a fairly new legal field? Is it as old as the legalization of recreational marijuana in Washington state in 2012?
A: Prior to 2012, there was a medical (marijuana) market, so there was a little bit of law there, but not much. What cannabis law was prior to 2012 was criminal law — essentially, people illegally growing (cannabis) and getting arrested for it.
Q: Does Gleam Law solely focus on cannabis law?
A: Not solely, but it's our major focus — 90 percent of the firm.
Q: When recreational cannabis was legalized in Washington state, did you notice a rise in the number of attorneys entering into this field of law?
A: Absolutely. Until it was legal, there weren't really any attorneys doing this. There's a small contingent in this state, about two dozen attorneys, who focus on this, and some bigger firms are starting to get into this. Cannabis law is a practice area — that's what we call it — but you could actually just say it's business law and probably administrative, and we're just focused on the cannabis industry, as opposed to, say, the startup industry, the dot-com industry. It's just another industry.
Q: When someone approaches you and Gleam Law for legal services, what is he looking for? What are some common issues you deal with?
A: One is licensing with the regulatory authority. Somebody calls me and wants to get into the cannabis industry. They have found a potential license or target company to acquire, and then they've got to go through the business transactional documents, the licensing process with the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board — that's the majority of work that needs to be done, and it can take quite a while to complete.
When they're in business, they'll come to us for consults because we have a good grasp of the industry. We have MBAs at the firm, so we really like to make sure they're successful and look at their business plans. We'll look at their brands and their intellectual property to make sure their product is differentiated from everything else on the shelves.
Q: Are there business-related laws that exist today that you would like to see change in order to better serve the industry?
A: On the federal level, Section 280 of the tax code, which says you can't deduct business expenses — the cost of legal fees, advertising fees, or anything that doesn't go directly into the cost of goods sold —when dealing with a Schedule I or Schedule II drug. Those billboards you see, (business owners) are paying taxes on that as if it's income. If it's an $8,000-per-month billboard, they're probably paying $11,000 because they can't deduct it. They're paying taxes on it. That's the big one.
On the state level, we need more retail shops because that's the bottleneck. We don't have enough shops across the state, and we have such a limited number of licenses. I think we need to make it a truly open market and let anybody get a license, continuously, instead of making it a government-controlled market.
Q: Do cannabis attorneys run any risks with the federal law?
A: As long as it follows the state law, it is not considered unethical or a violation of our duties. One attorney in San Diego was arrested, but they dropped the charges. No attorney has been put on trial for this.
Q: Did you ever think that you would be an attorney who practices cannabis law? Are you surprised to be working in this field?
A: I've been an attorney 10 years, and it does surprise me. I never thought I would see legalization. I would have thought you were making things up if you would have told me I would be here. I love it. Every day is something new. You're working with very excited people. You're breaking new ground and changing the world.

For the followers of my blog who may have not seen these last two posts I originally put this over in the swarms forum a while back since its about my use of trap hives. But here it is again for those who look for my blog updates from here.
Most people dont mind getting freebiesgetting something for nothing. Beekeepers arent the exception. They always need to find ways to save a bit of money with their beekeeping.
Whether it is just a hobby or a full business, it can be expensive. Sometimes its like that bee vac, except it sucks up your money. So free bees are usually welcomed and one of the ways to get them is through the use of trap hives to catch swarms.

I tried to comment on this over at Poetic Asides but got the darn "You are posting too fast. Slow down" message.
This is such a melancholy and meaningful poem. Loss is always difficult. This is a nice tribute to your friend Patti.
thank you, Linda-- This was for my sister Patti. She's been gone since March, and i actually used the whole April Poem A Day as therapy of sorts. :-) The loss is still difficult, but it eases a tiny bit as time passes....
i intensely dislike that "posting too fast" gremlin! Makes it so difficult to tell someone i appreciate their poem. So thank you for coming by here to let me know. :-)

If you have been in the bodybuilding space for just a short period of time, chances are, you have stumbled upon the word Nitric Oxide (NO). Its loved by bodybuilders and for a good reason. Its probably best know for it's ability to give the user a feeling known as "the pump" – the street name for hyperemia which is an increase of blood flow to different tissues in the body.
In addition to this, increased NO levels can improve the effectiveness of your workouts. NO will dilute your veins, and because of this, allows your muscles to receive more oxygen and nutrients. So you get the Pump, better workout sessions, but there is also proof that it speeds up recovery, has cognitive improving features, the ability to up your sex drive, and more.
As you can tell, there is enough stuff here, to write about Nitric Oxide for days, but in today's post, this isn't the focus. The focus is on how you can boost your NO levels, in a safe and natural manner. We all know that one of the main reasons lots and lots of bodybuilders take pre-workout supplements is in order to boost NO levels. I do the same. That cool, if you are ready to take that route. But pre-workout supplements isn't for everyone. Some people prefer to take the natural route; and this is the focus of this post. There are a ton of nitric oxide supplements on the market and lots of varying nitric oxide supplement reviews – but some people will claim the best nitric oxide supplement is a natural one. So let's take a look at some of the best natural nitric oxide boosting foods (and finally, a step you personally can take to increase NO levels naturally, as well). If you prefer to find a nitric oxide boosting supplement that fits your needs, I have posted a comprehensive article on the best pre-workout.
How can you boost your NO levels naturally.
Let's get straight to it. Below is a list of different foods that will boost your nitric oxide levels in a naturally and safe manner.
Beets are known for a wide range of different health benefits. First of all, beets are rich in nutrients and fiber. Beets has also been shown to have anti-cancer properties, helps to fight inflammation, boost your stamina, and lower your blood pressure. This is all good, but what truly make beets interesting in this perspective, is that it contains a high level of nitrates. Nitrates are converted to nitrites which is then converted to nitric oxide; and this is exactly what will help us get the perfect session in the gym. Good stuff!
Hawthorn extracts
Hawthorn extracts have been shown to enhance release of nitric oxide. Basically, hawthorn has been used as a way to lower blood pressure for a long time, and the mechanism of this feature is actually what we are looking for, too. Hawthorn berries are rich in nitrate reductase which is key in the conversion process of nitrates into nitrix oxide. A natural pre-workout with a lot of health benefits.
Dark Chocolate
Not only is it one of the most delicious things in life, but its also a proven nitric oxide booster. Keep in mind that milk chocolate won't do any good on your NO levels. It has to be dark as it is the flavanols in dark chocolate that stimulate the endothelium to produce Nitric Oxide. Oh, and I guess its needless to say that dark chocolate comes with a wide range of other benefits as well. Of all the nitric oxide boosters out there, this is definately my personal favorite!
This isn't really my favorite type of salad, but in order to boost your nitric oxide levels naturally, you've got to take the good with the bad. Celery is one type of salad that has a very high level of nitrates, which will boost your NO levels.
Just like Celery, lettuce will promote your nitric oxide levels, simply because it's high in nitrates. Now go make lettuce a part of your daily natural pre workout. Now I know this, and the other salad sorts aren't exactly the most convenient nor exciting food to eat as natural pre-workouts, but they are solid alternatives and making sure to get some with your daily meal wont do any harm!
Exercise More
Turns out that exercising also is a natural way to boost NO levels. There is a long and detailed post on this topic right here. This is the perfection motivation booster – Hit the gym more often, and you will be more likely to experience the pump. Now there is another good reason to get going!


text: Green City Force to me means UNITY, coming together as one to teach this generation how to love, and inspire each other to grow and learn new things. I chose to become a Corps Member because I always wanted to experience what it would be like to become a farmer and to actually witness beautiful growth of fruits and vegetables. I never thought in a million years that I would be an urban farmer, especially in New York where there are nothing but bad food choices. Before GCF I decided that I wanted to attend Empire Beauty School in Manhattan, because I thought it was something I wanted to major in. But one day, I realized that being a beautician was not something I wanted to do and I needed a more stable career. That is when I found Green City Force. I can honestly say that GCF has made me realize so much about myself and that I have grown a lot since the first day. I have learned that no matter what obstacles life puts in your way, push yourself until the end and don't let anybody stop you from shining. As Andrew would say, "your flame may get dim but it will never go out." Green City Force has inspired me to become a professional cook. My plan after Green City Force will be to become a pastry chef. I will apply for a culinary school before my term ends and hope to be very successful in my career path. In conclusion, I would like to thank the entire GCF family for believing in me and giving me faith throughout this whole journey. Without GCF, I don't know where my life would be at this point, and I'm very thankful for that. Thank You."

In Wisconsin, the most commonly used lease agreements are those written for residential property. The most commonly used residential lease agreements are an annual standard lease agreement, a month-to-month agreement, a lease to own agreement, a roommate agreement, and a subleasing agreement.
Because a standard Wisconsin lease agreement contains so much information, it's important that you read it carefully before you sign it if you're the tenant. A standard lease agreement is usually in place for 12 months. It includes:
For the lease to be legally binding, both the landlord and the tenant must sign it.
Landlords must disclose:
The landlord must provide advance notice of entering the property and they must enter at reasonable times.
There is no maximum on how much a landlord can charge as a security deposit. The deposit must be returned within 21 days of the landlord regaining control of the property.

There are six types of evidences accepted in the literatureMay 23, 2019 Health Care Comments Off
Pratyaksha: What is seen or observed directly. These are observational studies and accepted in the scientific community.
Anumana or the evidence based on the inference of a defined hypothesis
Upamana are the evidences based on analogies
Arthapathi are the evidences, which are based on circumstantial evidence
Anupalabdhi is an evidence based on the theory of negation
Shabda is undisputed evidence as it is written in text books and taught to us
Let us take an example to further understand this.
Here is a statement "Neem or Azadirachta indica is a good antiseptic."
Pratakysha: I would look for any observational study.
Anumana: I will look for any double-blind study in the literature
Upamana: As per Ayurveda, any plant which is bitter in nature will have anti-pitta qualities
Arthapati: Circumstantial evidence and
Anupalabdhi is evidence by negation.
Shabda: Would refer to Sushrut Samhita reference as gold standard.
An Ayurveda doctor will follow the Shabda evidence, but a modern medicine doctor would prefer Anumana as evidence. But both are accepted evidences.
Original (primary) researchis based on data collected from individuals or clusters of individuals, with clusters defined by physician, clinic, geographic region, or other factors.
Within primary research, the hierarchy of evidence must be considered to minimize the risk of bias.
For studies evaluating therapy or harm, well-conducted randomized clinical trials are superior to observational studies, which are superior to unsystematic clinical observations
Questions regarding benefits (and harms) of an intervention are best answered with randomized controlled trials; whereas questions regarding risk factors for disease and prognosis are best answered with prospective cohort studies.
Systematic reviews and meta-analysesare best for answering single questions (e.g. the effectiveness of tight glucose control on microvascular complications of diabetes). They are more scientifically structured than traditional reviews, more open about how the authors attempted to find all relevant articles, judge the scientific quality of each study and weigh evidence from multiple studies with conflicting results. Systematic reviews pay particular attention to including all strong research, whether or not it has been published, to avoid publication bias (positive studies are preferentially published).
Summaries and guidelinesrepresent the highest level of complexity. Ideally, guidelines are a synthesis of systematic reviews, original research, clinical expertise, and patient preferences. At their best, summaries and guidelines are a comprehensive synthesis of the best available evidence, from which the guidelines themselves follow. Guidelines should therefore be based on a critical appraisal of the relevant original research and systematic reviews. There are several examples of multiple guidelines on the same topic making contradictory recommendations
The accepted standards for guideline development include:
Rely on systematic reviews
Grade the quality of available evidence
Grade the strength of recommendations
Make an explicit connection between evidence and recommendations
Strength of the recommendation: A recommendation is a strong recommendation to do (or not do) something, where the benefits clearly outweigh the risks (or vice versa) for nearly all patients.
Grade 1 reflects a strong recommendation. A weak recommendation is made either when risks and benefits are more closely balanced or are more uncertain. Grade 2 reflects a weak recommendation.
Quality of evidence
Assessment of evidence quality in GRADE reflects confidence in the estimates of benefits, harms, and burdens.
GRADE can be implemented with either four levels of evidence quality or with three levels such that the "low" and "very low" categories are combined. The three levels use a letter (A, B, or C) for high-, moderate-, or low-/very low-quality evidence.
High-quality evidence typically comes from well-performed randomized controlled trials or other overwhelming evidence (such as well-executed observational studies with very large effects).
Moderate-quality evidence typically comes from randomized trials with important limitations or from other study designs with special strength.
Low-quality evidence typically comes from observational studies or from controlled trials with very serious limitations. Very low-quality evidence typically comes from non-systematic observations, biologic reasoning, or observational studies with serious limitations.
Based on the above we must come out with strength of evidence and quality of evidence for every Ayurveda treatment.
Let us review Azadirachta indica in Pubmed
There are 2467 studies on the subject.
There are over 138 mentions in headings.
There are 92 RCTs.
There are 308 systemic reviews
There are 30 observational studies
The conclusion that can be drawn is that from modern medicine point of view, Azadirachta indica will have Grade 1A scientific evidence that it has medicinal properties.
