This beautiful rainbow moonstone pendant has some lovely splashes of iridiscent blue when it catches the light.
It has been reduced due to a fine but significant line which runs around the top edge, and a couple of tiny inclusions, but it is a fabulous and eye catching pendant.
It is set in 925 silver, and measures about 3cm from top to bottom, whilst the width is about 2.3cm.

I have been seeing Dr. Davis for many years and I always had the best of care. My veneers look as good today as when they were completed many tears ago. Recently, I had the opportunity to have an appointment with Dr. Matt Guerre. I was very impressed with him personally and with his technical expertise too! Congratulations to Dr. Davis for attracting such a fine professional to his practice. I am confident that Dr. Guerre will contribute to the continued success of Cosmetic Dental Associates. More
Spiker took the time to make sure that my veneer was perfect, and it was. More
Dr Davis finds great joy in assisting patients with their cosmetic and dental needs. He is hands on and works with a passion that brings patients back to his office. His techniques and end results make you proud when you leave his office. I highly recommend Dr Spiker Davis. More
Dr. Davis and the staff are so personable and helpful. I have never been in the office that they weren't friendly. In fact I really enjoy going to the dentist. I have been seeing Dr. Davis for over 20 years and have never had a bad experience...even in the drilling and filling department. My smile is important in my line of work because I have been in the Houston Media for 45 years and I owe a lot to Dr. Davis for allowing me to continue with that smile. I love the staff and most of them have been with him for over 20 years....so he is certainly doing something right because they like him too. More
I normally don't write reviews, but Dr. Davis did an incredible job. Instead of rushing to replace the veneers, he took the time to adjust my bite first, so they would stay on. The new veneers fantastic. He is also the first dentist I actually enjoy seeing. His office is clean and the atmosphere is relaxed. Everyone is exceptionally nice and friendly. I will definitely use him from now on both for cosmetic and general dentistry, and can't stop recommending him to people. More
I have been a patient for over 12 years. From root canals to porcelain veneers to regular cleaning Dr. Davis and his staff have been professional and sincere in their advice and care. I highly recommend Dr. Davis. His new office is state of the art, beautiful and unlike any dentist office you have ever experienced. Do yourself a favor and go see Dr. Spiker Davis.Jesse More
Dr. Davis and his entire staff are extremely professional and polite. The office itself is relaxed and comfortable which I think is important for a dentist's office! I have been to Dr. Davis for both cosmetic and regular dental services and have been very pleased with everything. As a TV person, my smile is very important to me and I wouldn't trust it with anyone else! More
The bleach treatment was truly amazing! I never imagined the results would be so good. This enabled me to have some other work done without compromising the result at all, and, with significant savings. Thanks so much! More
Veneers – Dr. Davis did my veneers three years ago and I remain very happy with the results - so much so that my sister's coming down from Chicago to get hers as well. More
I'm 69 and still have great teeth--only a couple of gold inlays which Dr Davis set long ago during our 35 plus years of our association. 7 or 8 years ago, he placed 4 front veneers; and there's been no chips, breaks, or fading. Has always? More

World Bank Offers Macedonia $100 Million
Bank plans to give Macedonia $100 million to pursue economic reforms and address health, education and social welfare issues at a time of crisis.
|Macedonian Central Bank | Photo by: Balkan Insight
The World Bank expressed readiness to advance the cash at a joint World Bank/IMF meeting in Washington with Macedonian Finance Minister Zoran Stavreski.
Macedonia earlier this month was forced to shave some 5 per cent off its budget for 2012. Cuts of 120 million euros from the 2.7 billion euro budget reflected the need to reduce spending as a result of the European crisis and the cold winter, the Finance Minister said at the time.
Macedonia's economy is strongly linked to the struggling European economy as roughly 60 per cent of its exports go to the EU.
The government has also lowered its forecast of economic growth for 2012 from 4.5 per cent to 2.5 per cent.
Macedonia earlier this month took a loan of 250 million euros from Deutsche Bank to fill the gap in the readjusted budget and refinance euro loan stock. The interest on the bank loan is 6.83 per cent and Macedonia has to return the money in five years.
In November 2011, Macedonia borrowed 130 million euros from the Deutsche Bank and Citibank with a guarantee from the World Bank.
The Central Bank governor, Dimitar Bogov, recently expressed hopes that economic growth will strengthen towards the end of the year, when some experts expect signs of recovery in the European economy.

Watching theatrical performances, Dale Latam became a bit of an armchair director over the years.
Now she has a chance to step into the director's chair behind Central Alberta Theatre's dinner theatre Mending Fences, which runs from March 2 to April 7.
The comedy, written by Canadian playwright Norm Foster, tells the story of two stubborn men — a father and his son — who haven't seen each other in 13 years and now the son is coming to visit the father's Saskatchewan farm.
"It's a father and son story," said Latam. "The father and the mother split up and the father never contacted his son for 13 years. The son has a similar breakup with a woman he married and he comes back to give his father a hard time.
"People want to laugh, they want to have a good time. You can't get too serious."
Dustin Funk plays Drew, the son, while Jim Claggett plays the father, Harry. Carla Falk fills the roles of all the women in the play including Gin, Lori and Harry's mom. Claggett and Falk have prior experience performing with CAT while this is Funk's first full script with the theatre company.
The cast received their scripts before Christmas and performances start this weekend.
The play utilizes flashback scenes to provide background to the characters conflicts and to explain their motivations.
"Norm Foster is just such a good playwright," said Latam. "He can take that kind of subject and make it so damned funny in places.
"I don't know how Foster can get so funny with something so serious. He just knows how to write comedy."
One of the key scenes happens after a hockey game where Drew and Harry "finally connect," said Latam.
"They're at the kitchen table and Gin is giving them heck because they're both being such idiots," said Latam. "She's reaming them both out and that's when they start connecting and things start happening after that."
Latam said she worked hard with the actors picking up cues and their voice projection.
Latam has worked previously as an actor for CAT, but is now taking a turn in the directors chair. The show runs until her birthday, when she and some family members have a large table reserved to watch the show.
The show runs Thursday to Sunday from March 2 to April 7 at the Black Knight Inn, 2929 50th Ave. It costs $63 on Sunday, $67.50 on Thursday and $69.50 on Friday and Saturday. For more information visit centralalbertatheatre.net or visit the Black Knight Inn Ticket Centre.

Moments after time had expired on the 2009 Ohio high school boy's basketball championship game in March, the victorious Columbus-Northland Vikings lined up to shake hands with runner-up Cincinnati-Princeton.
When Northland's Jared Sullinger met Princeton's Jordan Sibert in line, the teams came to a brief halt. Sullinger took a moment to console a dejected Sibert before the two left the Schottenstein Center court in different directions.
Before ever playing for a state title, Sibert and Sullinger became friends. They gave two of the earliest verbal commitments to Ohio State's 2010 recruiting class. Last week, they officially signed their letters of intent, and along with four other high school seniors, joined what some consider to be the best group of recruits in the nation.
Joining Sibert and Sullinger are DeShaun Thomas from Fort Wayne, Ind., Lenzelle Smith from Zion, Ill., Aaron Craft from Findlay, Ohio and J.D. Weatherspoon, Sullinger's teammate at Northland.
The group members, dubbed as the "Super Six," have grown to know each other well.
"I love the fact that they've got a good feel for each other," coach Thad Matta said. "They're very close, and they've communicated for the last couple of years in the process of the recruiting."
Matta has adapted a knack for bringing in highly touted recruiting classes during his career in Columbus. Including Sullinger and Thomas, he has signed eight five-star recruits since 2006, according to Rivals.com.
Matta said even though they might be highly rated, he treats these players like all the others.
"The one thing I always try to do with recruits, once they finish their senior year of high school, I go and sit down with them and just say, 'Alright here's how it's going to be,'" Matta said. "'It's going to be unlike anything you've ever been through before. It's a completely different game. It's a completely different level.'"
This most recent class will draw comparison to OSU's 2006 class that included four players now on NBA rosters. Matta is not ready to compare the two in terms of talent, but he said there is one thing both groups have in common.
"I think we got in both classes what we needed," Matta said. "When they rank recruiting classes, they need to rank it on, 'Did the team get what they needed?' For us, I think we got what we needed not only for this year but for the future of our program."
What is particularly encouraging about these recruits, Matta said, is the success they've had on and off the court.
"We've got six great kids and six kids that I think truly understand what Ohio State is about athletically and academically," Matta said. "You have three 4.0 students in the class. Every guy has played for a state championship, and three of them have won a state championship."
Among the three state champions is Sullinger. With all the hype surrounding the "Super Six," Buckeye fans hope the next time he hoists a trophy, Sibert will get to join him.

Professional wrestling holds
listing of professional wrestling holds
In professional wrestling, a hold is any kind of move used by a performer to stop their opponent from being able to moving. The hold may lead to a submission from the opponent. Some examples of holds are the cloverleaf (a kind of leglock),[1] the keylock (a kind of armlock), and the guillotine choke (a kind of necklock or choke).

During my stay in Cambodia, Husk made it possible for me to visit a rehearsal at this Circus. My passion is making photos of performing arts and this was for me the first time at a circus. "Phare" is a special place. All the artists have their education at the school at Battambang, a small city at the border with Thailand. In 1975 during the regime of Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge, all forms of art were abolished. In 1994 the association called Phare Ponleu Selpak was grounded, but the initiative came from a small group of refugees who came back to Cambodia from a refugee camp years before and decided to bring back art and culture to their home land. This school now gives the possibility to disadvantaged children to develop themselves by providing free food, support and education in visual and performing arts.
Wenn I arrived at the tent I discoverd that there was not much light inside. A big challenge for me. It was hot and many fans were turning. First there was a warming up, and then they started with the routines to practice. The main difference I discovered between a dance rehearsal and these circus routines is that there is another form of expression. When a dancer rehearses, there is a certain expression all over the body, not here. And I can understand because it takes a big concentration to find a balance of your body, or to juggling with cones or balls. Also the acrobatics are sometimes dangerous, it takes full concentration.
The movements are fast and with the lack of ligth It was a challenge to capture the moments I was searching for. But I did find them, these small moments in between.
The performance I visited later was filled with beautiful emotions, skills and surrender. I will write about this performance , Sokha, later. It was a show that touched me emotional very much.. It is a combination of circus skills and acting, not with words but with their whole expression they tell a story.
Here is a small impression of a daily rehearsal routine of some of these beautiful artists of the Phare Circus .
If you like to know more you can visit their side. They wrote a blog about the artistic leader of the circus, Houn Bonthoeun, with some photos I made.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild mod aims to make Zelda the star
It's about time.
After 30 years, Nintendo fans want Zelda to be the star of a Legend of Zelda game - so much so, a team of modders are trying to make this happen within Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
We've seen plenty of Breath of the Wild mods before - it's become a hobby for some, as the game's Wii U build has been hacked onto PC and repeatedly edited. But this one's a bit more involved - and there's a clear aim behind it.
The project is the work of more than 20 people, according to a Kotaku report. You can find various gameplay updates posted to YouTube.
Right now, Zelda is a playable character - she's been given a character model, can equip costumes which have also been hand-designed and has a new set of fan-recorded voices. It's been going down well online:
There are truly next-level modders who are working on making Zelda a fully-playable character in Breath of the Wild, with all the clothing, voices, and whatnot?a really impressive endeavour. I REALLY WISH IT WERE AN OFFICIAL OPTION BECAUSE IT'S BADASS. ? https://t.co/UL4AIV2c2h pic.twitter.com/ky2WmULgIX— Maxime Lebled (@MaxLebled) May 7, 2018
Here's how Zelda's new model sounds, as recorded by fans:
Here's Zelda's Gerudo costume, as an example of how each of Link's designs are being reworked by hand:
Finally, here's over an hour of gameplay showing off various costumes and areas of the game, explored as Zelda:
The closest we've ever gotten to (officially) playing as Zelda is in spin-off titles such as Hyrule Warriors and Super Smash Bros (or as a Phantom in Spirit Tracks). Isn't it time that changed, Nintendo?

CNN gets a letter from Crown Prince Kojo of the United Nations and he's a cranky lad:
Kojo Annan, in his first public comment on the subject, told CNN in a written statement: "I have never participated directly or indirectly in any business related to the United Nations."I'm sure the Crown Prince spent a lot of time opening crates.
Annan, 31, who lives in Lagos, once worked for Cotecna, a Switzerland-based company that inspects commercial freight shipments. It employs 4,000 people in 100 countries.
"I feel the whole issue has been a witchhunt from day one as part of a broader Republican political agenda," Annan said in his statement to CNN.Deny, deny, deny and and claim it was a frame-up. Not a bad plan, but he better polish it up a little since just last week it was revealed that he was turning in expense reports for things like:
Kojo Annan, 29, claimed fees and expenses for eight days' work in July 1998, including six days in Abuja "during my father's visit to Nigeria". On another, he claimed expenses and $500 a day for a 15-day trip to New York and the UN General Assembly in September 1998 for meetings on "special projects".Sounds like United Nations business to me. But gosh, he has plausible deniability - his company got a juicy contract from Emperor Kofi, but he wasn't really involved because he was collecting some nice fees for doing something else. Of course, that brings up the difficult question of what exactly he was doing:
What appears missing from documents seen so far is any indication of what Kojo Annan's employment either on staff, or as a consultant, actually delivered in the way of results for Cotecna; or what services he was providing for which he submitted expenses during the noncompete period following his employment.I believe the technical term is "no show job." But it wasn't no work and no play for Kojo:
On November 17, 1997, one Cotecna official based in Niger, where Kojo Annan was staying at a company guest house, sent an email in French to Mr. Pruniaux in Geneva, noting, "It's important that KA respect the hours and rules of the liaison office" because "laxity on his/our part" would lead the local staff, given his background, to ask, "Why him and not us?"Woohoo! Anyhow, those evil Republican congressmen want to help Kojo get his message out:
"We'd be happy to hear from him under oath if he has things to contribute to the investigations," said Rep. Chris Shays (R-Conn.).Silly fellow! Royalty doesn't have to answer questions from the commoners.

Custom E-Commerce Websites
What is an e-commerce website?
An e-commerce website will increase your sales by helping you reach more customers. With minimum manual intervention you can save time and resources, improving your profit margins. A high search engine rating will drive more visitors to your website, which can be achieved with carefully targeting Search Engine Optimisation.
Your customers will be able to select and pay for the items they require, and you will receive notification of the order together with payment. As the information is captured electronically it can be validated to minimise the risk of error. The data can be integrated with your business administration database and used in many different ways. Customer spending patterns can be monitored, best selling items can be promoted, and an automatic notification can be triggered when stock levels are low.
Your e-commerce website will be backed by a Content Management System so you can easily update your information yourself. Alternatively, with website integration your website can be automatically updated from an Access database, or your existing central office administration database, for even greater time saving.
Project Examples...

Tomato Blossom End Rot
Blossom end rot is fairly easy to identify because of the dry sunken decay of the blossom end of the fruit. The rot begins with a small water soaked area on the blossom end. A lesion develops and is followed by the leathery rotten area. Eventually it will cover the lower half of the tomato which will become flat or concave destroying the entire tomato.
Causes and Symptoms
A calcium deficiency is the most often cause of blossom end rot in tomatoes. The root cause of this deficiency is thought to be fluctuations of heat and cold weather and excessive rainfall. When these occur at the same time, calcium becomes unavailable to the plant.
Aggravating factors are soil with too high a PH (too acid), plants too close together causing a lack of air circulation, from over watering or from high humidity. Periods of drought followed by rain can cause blossom end rot also. The normal plant cells of the tomato require calcium to grow. When calcium levels are insufficient for growth, the plant tissue breaks down causing the "rot."
Treatment and Control
You can't do much about poor weather conditions so the best treatment and control is to do everything possible to avoid the problem. Get your soil tested for PH regularly. There are home tests available online for a very small fee. Ideally your soil PH should be 6.5 and this will provide adequate calcium. If you need to apply lime to improve the PH of the soil (and your extension office will generally give you a specific recommendation with your soil test results), it is best applied 3-6 months ahead of planting so you must plan ahead.
Plant your tomatoes at the correct time for your area. Too early planting could expose your crop to fluctuations of temperature that encourage disease.
Do not over-water your plants. Once your tiny plant is established in the ground, stress it slightly by letting it dry out in-between watering. This produces deep root system capable of drawing up nutrients from the soil. Plant seedlings far enough apart to allow good air circulation, pull out suckers to keep only 3-5 main stems and trim the bottom leaves off the plants. Use mulch to keep even moisture levels.
Use super phosphate fertilizer which is high in phosphorus and low in nitrogen. Work this into the soil before you plant. Also be sure to provide adequate drainage for tomato plants. Do not use excess potassium or magnesium fertilizers either because they compete with calcium uptake by the plant. Remember that Epsom salts is a magnesium source so it should be avoided unless you have had a soil nutrient analysis that indicates a deficiency.
Once the problem develops, it is very difficult to control. First try and stabilize the moisture level which will be difficult if you are in a rainy season. Some gardeners side-dress plants with well composted manure or water with compost tea. Others add crushed egg shells, bone meal tea, powdered milk to the plants but prevention is the key.
I've seen bone meal tea mentioned in several different places lately and have never used it. How do you make it, or where do you buy it? I would, of course, prefer to make my own, but if I need to buy it, I will.
I assume that there's a high level of calcium but should I use it all the time in my soil or only in certain circumstances?
In this article there is a common error when it was stated that a high pH was too acidic.
Actually a high pH (a pH value greater than 7) is basic. Using lime will raise the pH, so depending on what the pH value is to start will cause the end result. Be careful, tomatoes do not thrive in basic soil.
A neutral pH is 7, so 6.5 is slightly on the acidic side of the scale (a number less than 7 is acidic). Since tomatoes enjoy growing in slightly acidic soil this makes sense.
If the soil is too acidic (example: a low pH value, such as "4.5" ), then of course tomato plants will not thrive, so it would be necessary to add a small amount of lime to raise the pH to approximately "6.5".
A local extension office should be able to assess whether the soil pH is in a desirable range for growing tomatoes. If the soil needs altering they should be able to suggest with what and how much and a method of proper application.

Title: A Different Kind of Lovely: A Novel
Published: 23rd May 2017
Author: Petra March
Facebook: www.facebook.com/AuthorPetraMarch
A man with a damaged soul fell in love with a ballerina with a broken body."
When Neal Medwin glimpses Mina Automne for the first time, he's a man whose soul is darkened with memories of a painful past, whereas Mina is a vibrant, strong, young woman. She's a determined ballerina who's carefully planning and painting her life.
Neal steps into her existence and threatens to shatter Mina's plans with an impossible request.
Mina can't help the fragile man who's invading her home, even though their parents used to be close friends and she knows of Neal's hurtful background. She allows him to linger within her lovely and artistic world, however, hoping he might find some peace and solace.
Slowly, their conflict turns into friendship, and eventually into love, until a terrible discovery ruins Mina's projects and forces her to let go of all her dreams, and of her sweet, damaged man.
Neal is unable to fight for Mina and for the unripe love they share, because he's not ready to leave his past behind. He's not strong enough – not yet.
(Ages 18+)
Publisher's Note: This stand-alone Novel is a spinoff of Petra March's award winning series, A Touch of Cinnamon.
Goes down as another off my 2017 Bookworm Bingo Challenge – A book about dancing or dancers. Another beautifully descriptive novel written by Petra March, one that takes the reader on a journey through a wealth of emotions from start to finish. A little repetitive at times but a good read all the same.
After the death of David everyone connected with him – family and friends alike – have all found it hard to move on passed their grief. All grieve in very different ways but all slowly need to find another/new reason to move forward and not live in the nightmares of the past. Something that Neal is slowly starting to learn after meeting Mina.
Neal is a broken soul of a man still struggling – like the rest of his family – with the sudden death of his brother David years before. His coping mechanism is to just shut down all his emotions, put on a mask and take care of his parents and sister. They call, ask him to do something, and its like he is powerless to refuse them. The latest task his mother sends him on is to purchase the cottage David stayed at before he died. One of the roads that lead to it being the one the accident happened on. A weird way to grieve on the anniversary but its what they do, buy something new to help push away their emotions. He thinks he's just going to have a look as he thinks they are already selling but he gets a shock when the owner very much says she is not.
Mina is a ballet dancer with a passion to perform and live life to the full with her dream but it all comes crashing down when her body starts to betray her. Neal first spots her in a field dancing. Gliding across the land and through the air like a butterfly caught on the wind, soon to be his Butterfly. She caught his attention and drew him to her swiftly. When he follows her to the cottage and she finds out he wants to buy it it's a push and pull feeling she has to deal with. He intrigues her so she wants him to stay but at the same time angers her with his intensions to buy her home making her want him to go. Seems their parents were friends once upon a time and hers thought to sell when they asked to buy without letting her know, even though the cottage is hers. Her dream being to build a dance studio out on the land and teach, after she has had a career with her ballet that is.
Seems to be heart and head, or should that be body and mind, are feeling very conflicted about what they are doing. Chemistry is a bit of a slow build between them as they try to get a feel for the other. The cottage and Mina's memories of David help Neal to start to open up to his own. She knows his pain, can see it clearly in his face as his mask is slowly falling away. The cottage and Neal's subconscious might hold nightmares to start with but soon they will turn around with the presence of Mina. Just as she can see his pain he can see hers, though hers might be more physical. They need each other to hold onto and build something new from their broken souls but his need to help his family pulls them apart. Can they find their way back to each other to help heal their pain, both physical and mental?
Cameos with Eagan and Brina give the story a rounder depth as it's showing how others have come through the other side of their grief. Felia, Neal's sister, needed to find her own way through it, which Neal is slowly figuring out. To move on you have to face the past and until they do that they will be stuck in a dark loop repeating their mistakes. Push past it and they will finally be happy again, just like David would have wanted.
To get a proper feel for the story and how certain characters may show their emotions, or lack their of by keeping them locked up, I would recommend reading the other books in the series. This can be read as a stand-alone but I feel you would benefit from reading the others. Plus they are good anyway, so why not.
4 out of 5 stars
I received this ARC from the author for my honest review.

Among tourists in Southeast Asia, if you utter the word "Gilis" those around you will assume you're talking about the three most popular "Gili" islands off the coast of Lombok: Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, and Gili Meno.
In Lombok's local language, Sasak, the word "gili" simply means island. Therefore, when you talk about the Gili Islands, you are somewhat saying "Island islands." In the past few years, the colloquially called Gili Islands have seen a boom in tourism. Though this growth has slowed because of a slew of earthquakes that occurred in mid-2018, the islands are well on their way to rebuilding.
What many tourists don't know is that Lombok has over 20 smaller islands surrounding it. These little islands tend to be rife with sandy beaches and thriving coral reefs. Since the earthquakes did not affect Lombok's southern region, the reefs and beaches remain in near-pristine condition.
After spending years hopping between the popular Gili Islands, I knew it was time to see Lombok's lesser-known spots.
The problem with seeing Lombok's other islands is that transport is difficult to arrange as a solo traveler. Moving between islands requires boat transfer and a guide. Thankfully, I got in touch with Gemma at Mimpi Manis Snorkel Tours and booked a full-day excursion.
Gili Nanggu
Gili Nanggu has just one small resort on the island and is a popular stop among locals. Just offshore, there's an artificial reef made from metal crates and traditional Sasak-style sculptures. These sculptures were built to encourage coral growth, as coral reefs are essential habitats to juvenile fish and other marine creatures like anemones, star fish, and urchins. The coral structures and reef sweep around the island, and there are occasional sea grass patches where you can spot neon urchins and pipefish in the grass. If you swim beyond the reef, you'll find schools of fish that surround you as you swim through.
On so many snorkel tours I've been on, the guide simply chucks you a mold-speckled mask and snorkel. He'll wave his hand in a general direction and tell you to be back in an hour. Then, he'll kick back with a cigarette in hand until it's time to help you back onto the boat.
Not so with Gemma. Over the past two decades, Gemma has become an expert in spotting creatures that masterfully camouflage themselves into the reef. Ultra-venomous creatures like scorpionfish look as though they're made of stone.
After what felt like hours in the water, the two other guests and I realized that we'd be the ones to urge Gemma back onto shore for mealtime – not the other way around.
Gili Sudak
For lunch, we stopped at Gili Sudak. Tables are set on the sand and you can choose from a menu that features classic Indonesian dishes like nasi goreng, mie goreng, and nasi campur. I recommend the gado gado, a meal made from stir fried vegetables tossed in peanut sauce. We watched colorful fishing boats scuttle to and fro, and let our our skin take a break from the sunshine. At a place like this, it's easy to remember why you opted for a little-known stop rather than get lost among crowds elsewhere.
Gili Kedis
For the last stop of the day, we ventured to Gili Kedia. Gili Kedis is the tiniest of the three islands and the easiest to snorkel around. The island is punctuated with a small swing in the center of it and has a handful of shady rest areas to tuck under. Two minutes is all you need to walk a complete lap around the island. Along the reef, we spotted tiny lionfish, clown fish, nudibranch, and scorpionfish. Every time Gemma or I saw a critter under a ledge or disguised within the reef, we'd wave the other over. As an ocean-nerd, it was refreshing to snorkel with someone who shares my passion for finding hidden sea creatures.
Snorkel Tour: From 450k IDR with Mimpi Manis Snorkel Tours. Tours depart from Kuta, Lombok and last from 7am to 5pm. Underwater pictures of your trip included.
Bring: Reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, water, and a rash guard.

Kareem Hunt, RB Kansas City Chiefs
Hunt faces a Miami Dolphins defense that ranks third-worst in points allowed to running backs after back-to-back weeks in which he had 24 or more carries, 116 or more rushing yards, and at least one touchdown. He is clearly a must-start, Top 5 play in championship week just three weeks after being a debatable flex starter. Some guys step it up and win championships for owners, and Hunt's timely resurgence could make him that guy this year.
Tom Brady, QB New England Patriots
Brady has thrown for fewer yards, rushed for fewer yards and produced fewer touchdowns than Blake Bortles over the last four weeks. He has thrown two touchdowns, combined, in his last three games and scored fewer than 16 Fantasy points in each of those games. Brady has a rivalry game against a Buffalo Bills defense that ranks third-best in points allowed per game to quarterbacks (12.2 points per game), while Bortles faces a 49ers pass defense that is third-worst in points allowed to quarterbacks (19 points per game). It would be blasphemous to even suggest owners claim Blake Bortles and start him while benching Brady…. but all the trends suggest you should. Seriously. It pains me, as a Patriots fan, to say such vulgarity, but the odds are very good that Bortles outscores Brady in the Fantasy championship Week 16 game.
Blake Bortles, QB Jacksonville Jaguars
A much-maligned pariah, Bortles has scored 22,25,18, and 25 Fantasy points over the last four weeks. He has thrown for at least 268 yards and two touchdowns in three straight games. In two of those games, he threw for over 300 yards and he rushed for two scores in Week 12. In Week 16, Bortles is as close to a must-start as a player as maligned like Bortles can be. He'll be facing a 49ers defense that ranks third-worst in Fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks – less than a point from being ranked the worst. Looking back with glory, Bortles, like Hunt, could be 2017's gift that won some owners their leagues.
Keelan Cole, WR Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jaguars' receiving corps has flown mostly under the NFL radar and Cole has become one part of that group, but he has a touchdown in three consecutive games with 99 and 186 receiving yards respectively in the last two games. Cole led the Jaguars in targets for Week 15 after being mostly ignored in Weeks 13 and 14, making him a dicey but intriguing risk/reward option. DeDe Westbrook received ink in this column last week and Marqise Lee (out for Week 16), when healthy, has been Fantasy-relevant for most of the season. Now its Cole's chance for some props. Fournette is banged up. The Jaguars may want to ease up on his workload to be prepared for the playoffs, and the 49ers have a leaky pass defense. Cole and Westbrook have both been targeted and productive in recent games, and they have one of their best matchups of the season in Week 16.
Marquise Goodwin, WR San Francisco 49ers
Goodwin has scored double-digit Fantasy points in four straight games and he has done it without scoring a touchdown. He's had back-to-back 100-yard receiving games and six receptions or more in three straight games. Since Jimmy Garoppolo took over under center, Goodwin has led the team in targets in three straight games (13 targets in Week 8, 12 in Week 14, and 13 in Week 15). The knocks against lining up with Goodwin in your league championship is that he hasn't scored a touchdown in any of those games and the Jaguars are second-stingiest in points allowed to wide receivers (24.5 per game). It depends on your alternatives, but Goodwin's floor in PPR formats is probably 10 Fantasy points and if he can find the end zone, you could get a 20-point week at the flex spot from a guy that was available on the waiver wire over Thanksgiving.
Bengals Run Defense and Theo Riddick
Jerick McKinnon punished the Bengals in the passing game in Week 15, Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen ran all over them in Week 14 and Le'Veon Bell did it all in bunches in Week 13. Theo Riddick struggled against the Bears in Week 15, but he scored 17 and 27 points in Weeks 13 and 14, and he has practiced fully this week. The juicy matchup makes him a tasty championship week flex play.
Chicago Bears Defense
They have scored eight,12 and 10 Fantasy points in their three previous games, and the NFL schedulers gave them Deshone Kizer and the futile Cleveland offense on Christmas weekend. The Bears have nine sacks in their last three games and have generated a turnover in five straight. They rank seventh on the season in Fantasy scoring in ESPN leagues, so they should be owned. But if they're not, they are a premier stream this week.
Phil Dawson, K Arizona Cardinals
Robbie Gould kicked more than a few undeserving Fantasy teams into their league championships with six field goals in Week 15. Dawson has scored 16,12, 5 and 17 Fantasy points in his last four games and faces the lowly Giants, who are giving up points by the bushel. He should be a 10-point kicker this week, kicking at home in the friendly conditions of Arizona.

In case you missed the big news from last week, Cincinnati arts patron and philanthropist Louise Nippert announced that she is giving Cincinnati arts organizations $85 million. According to Cincinnati Enquirer music critic, Janelle Gelfand, Nippert's gift is the largest "single gift by an individual to a Cincinnati arts organization." Flying under the radar of this momentous news for Cincinnati's arts scene is a quote from the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra (CSO) president claiming that without the gift, the CSO was facing scenario of "bad things"…
Do You Want To Lead The Artistic Admin Dept At One Of The Newest Halls In The Country?
After $143 million dollars and 16-months, the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra (CSO) opened the doors to their renovated Music Hall for a grand reopening concert on 10/6/2017 and by all accounts, the renovation was a smashing success. As a frame of reference, that cost and timeline are a downright bargain given how much work was performed converting what was, to put it politely, a cavernous 3,400 seat barn.

The battle continues to heat up regarding the truth about High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) – and this time researchers argue that it doesn't just make you fat … it can make you stupid, too.
In a UCLA study recently published in the Journal of Physiology, researchers examined two groups of rats – one given drinking water enhanced with fructose, while the group's fructose-enhanced drinking water was enriched with flaxseed oil and DHA. After six weeks, researchers discovered that the group that did not receive the flaxseed/DHA supplement was not only slower physically, but suffered from reduced synaptic brain activity. And that's after a mere six weeks … think about how much HFCS the average person consumes on a weekly basis. Scary stuff.
While it's best to limit the amount of HFCS you consume, it is somewhat unrealistic in today's society to expect to be able to eat all-organic, all-unprocessed all the time. The good news? Though you'll still have to watch what you eat, an occasional slip-up can be combatted by consuming omega-3 fatty acids – which have been shown repeatedly in studies to encourage brain health and function.
So, try to steer clear of HFCS whenever possible for your health – and if you do happen to indulge in processed foods containing the ingredient, just be sure to up your fish, flax or omega-3 enriched eggs and dairy products (or pop a fish oil supplement). You'll save both your waistline and your brain function!

Waiting on weed: Cannabis shortage prevents opening of local stores
No additional cannabis retailers will open in the near future for Grande Prairie due to a national shortage of the product, while the only approved retailer will be delaying its opening.
Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) announced it would temporarily stop accepting new applications and issuing more cannabis retail licences due to the national shortage of the product since legalization on Oct. 17.
In Grande Prairie, Lucky Leaf Cannabis Retailers is the only retail cannabis store to have its application approved. But owner Sheldon D'Souza said its opening would be pushed back further to an unspecified date because of the shortage.
"We want to have enough to provide our community with cannabis — the cannabis that it deserves — and Grande Prairie has been waiting for this all year," D'Souza said. "We don't want a situation where we are selling out in the first day or second day so of course it is pushing us back quite a bit."
D'Souza described Lucky Leaf as taking a "wait-and-see" approach to get a better idea of the demand and how it could be satisfied.
"Unfortunately, we are in a situation where demand is more than the product that AGLC has," he said. "Even though we are the only store, having limited stores is not good for Lucky Leaf, for Grande Prairie or the industry as a whole. It's not good for a business to open up and then sell out in a few days, so I'm actually looking forward to seeing if we can figure this out."
Bud Runners Cannabis in downtown Peace River is the nearest retail cannabis store to Grande Prairie. It will also open a location in Grimshaw this Saturday.
Alain Maisonneuve, AGLC president and CEO, reported in a statement that it has only received around 20 per cent of this quota as of Nov. 17, while producers with federal licences were unable to make up for the shortfall due to the national shortage. The initial quota was meant to supply 250 retail stores over six months.
"While some licensed producers have fulfilled their commitments, not all have," Maisonneuve said. "We continue to work with them to fill stock. Unfortunately, regardless of our efforts, we are seeing the supply of most products run out."
AGLC is working with licensed producers regarding production and shipping timelines and meeting with cannabis retailer, he added. Applicants can also receive a full refund for all licencing fees if they want to withdraw from the licencing process.
"Our priority is to ensure private Alberta retailers are supported," Maisonneuve said. "We will continue to allocate the majority of our scarce inventory to private retailers. We will still maintain some online product to allow consumers in communities where there are not any retail stores to purchase online."

Nowadays, almost half of the adult population suffers from constipation, so a laxative has long been a part of household first aid kits. That is why everyone should knowhow and when to take a laxative at home, what exactly it should be and other aspects of self-treatment of constipation at home.
Indications for use of a laxative at home
Laxative at home used when a patient has constipation (chronic and episodic), as well as diseases that result in constipation (colitis, cholecystitis, gastritis, endocrine diseases, diabetes, intestinal diseases). As a rule, the doctor prescribes a laxative, he also determines the drug itself, the course of treatment and the dosage. In addition to taking laxatives, the treatment of constipation also includes the correction of the patient's nutritional system, the appointment of physiotherapy exercises, self-massage of the abdomen and the use of traditional methods of treatment.
Most often, a laxative at home is used during a prolonged absence of stool, this can occur as a result of a long stay on the road, during pregnancy, while taking medications containing a high concentration of calcium, while the patient is depressed. Constipation can occur after eating the following foods: rice, coffee, boiled eggs, pears and other foods that are hard for the body to absorb.
How to choose the best laxative at home?
As a rule, laxatives are dispensed in pharmacies without a doctor's prescription and its range is very wide. To use laxatives at home, you need to choose a drug that is safe, effective and has a mild effect. You should also choose a laxative that is suitable for long-term use.
Folk laxatives at home
In addition to drugs purchased in a pharmacy, traditional medicine is also great for constipation at home, for example, herbal decoctions.
Hay leaves, rhubarb rhizomes and buckthorn root, cooked in the form of decoctions, will help you in a short time to get rid of the long stool delay. In order to prepare a remedy for constipation from them, it is necessary to take approximately 20 g of the plant, pour 200 ml of drinking water, put it on the fire and boil for 20 minutes. After the broth is removed from the fire, drinking water is added to it, to the level of a whole glass. Such a means is taken in half a cup 2 times a day.
The result after taking the funds appears after 8-10 hours. But do not use such decoctions too often, as they are addictive, and in order to achieve the desired effect, it will be necessary to periodically increase the dosage of the agent.
Also The following herbs are great laxatives at home.:
- Yarrow is a choleretic plant. For the preparation of remedies for chronic constipation of yarrow, you need 1 tsp. brew herbs with 1 cup of boiling water and let it brew a little. Drink this infusion should be before each meal in 1/3 cup.
- liquorice root not only has an expectorant effect, but also helps fight constipation. Take 1 tbsp. root, pour 200 ml of boiling water and leave for about an hour. Apply this tool with each delay of the chair 1/3 cup.
- nettle leaves perfectly stop the blood, tighten wounds, ulcers, burns, and also struggle with stool delays. 2 tbsp. plants, pour 600 ml of boiling water, let the broth stand and take the whole amount of infusion during the day.
In addition to herbs, there are other laxatives that will help to deal with constipation at home, such as mountain ash and aloe.
From the mountain ash, you first need to prepare a syrup, for this you need to fill the berries with sugar and leave for a month. After the berries should be squeezed out, add 25 ml of alcohol for every 0.5 liters of the resulting syrup. Apply this tool every day on an empty stomach (before use it must be diluted with drinking water). Often, means based on the fruits of mountain ash normalizes the independence of the chair.
Aloe juice is beautifully weak; for its proper application, it is best to take a plant that is at least 3 years old, cut the leaves and put them in the fridge for 6-7 days. After putting the leaves of the plant under the press to squeeze the juice out of them. Then evaporate the juice and consume 0.1-0.2 g per day in a small amount of drinking water. Also pressed aloe juice can be mixed with honey (for 30 g of honey 150 ml of juice). The resulting product should be stored in the refrigerator and use 1 tbsp. l a day with water.
Other ways to treat constipation at home
If you do not have time to prepare decoctions and infusions, then you can use very simple recipes for laxatives at home:
- To the usual kefir add 1 tbsp. any vegetable oil and drink this mixture overnight. The result will appear the next morning, but if it doesn't exist, repeat this manipulation every night, soon the work of the intestine will normalize;
- Take an equal amount of raisins, prunes and dried apricots, scroll through it all in a meat grinder and eat in the morning.
Do not forget that malnutrition, violation of the daily regimen can lead to a malfunction of the intestines, so try to work out for yourself a specific nutrition schedule and plan your day correctly, learn how to take care of your body and be healthy!
