According to the Western medical view, there is no clear cause of eczema. Atopic eczema is the most common form of eczema although there are several different types. Being 'atopic' usually means that you are allergic. Atopic eczema can run in families and often occurs alongside other conditions, such as asthma and hay fever.
Patient's symptoms improve and the eczema resolves itself.
When the body become sensitive to any of the above toxins one of the results can be irritation and inflammation. For eczema prone people this result is puritis (itching). Once the itch begins and scratching occurs then this leads to a rash. The rash causes external inflammation and irritation which then itches. Hence the itch/scratch cycle is born. The result is dry, sensitive and damaged skin.
My strategy for combating eczema takes a three tiered approach.
Repairing the damage the toxins have done.
Western medicine offers steroid treatment most commonly. This acts buy controlling the inflammation but is mearly a temporary measure that manages symptoms.
Homoeopathy on the other hand addresses the the cause of the eczema by offering a solution to getting rid of the toxins and further reduces the patient's susceptibility to getting eczema in the first place.

DAR ES SALAAM Tanzania (Xinhua) -- Tanzania's coastal high value species will be exhausted in 30 years from now if the continued degradation of coastal forests remained unchecked, said a new report released on Tuesday.
The continued degradation of the coastal forests was expected to significantly decrease their capacity to provide ecological services and to support livelihoods, said the report entitled: Saving Forests, Changing Lives-Current status and trends in the Tanzanian coastal forests and their woody resources.
The report was made by WWF Tanzania in collaboration with the Tanzania Commission for Science and Technology, the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburg, and other partners after they jointly conducted a one-year research in 2016 in selected coastal forests in Coast and Lindi regions.
The report said forest surveys showed a progressive and significant decline in the availability of woody resources in the coastal forests between the 1990s and 2016.
"Logging and charcoal burning continued to spread like waves from Dar es Salaam, targeting resources from high to low value, and spreading at a speed of approximately 10km per year," said the report.
It added that the resource extraction had substantial negative impact where between 2005 and 2016 the density of standing trees in reserves surveyed in Coast region was more than halved, and the carbon stored in above-ground biomass decreased by 40 percent.
"The density of trees suitable as timber dropped threefold, and the density of species with the highest timber value dropped fourfold," said the report which was funded by players of People's Postcode Lottery in the United Kingdom.
It cited most affected timber species as Milicia excelsa, Brachylaena huillensis, Khaya anthotheca and Pterocarpus angolensis, saying these species have almost been exhausted.
Antje Ahrends, Head of Genetics and Conservation with the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, who was one of the lead authors of the report, said Tanzanian forests were facing big pressure caused by expanding population and growing cities.
She said city growth rate was 5 percent while 90 percent of population was reliant on wood fuels, timber for construction and export.


Terracotta is a beautiful building material that has been used for centuries and offers a unique look. However, when it comes to replacing or restoring this historic material, many challenges arise that drive up the cost and even extend the amount of time on a restoration project. There are even times when it may seem challenging to replicate the original look of the terracotta design in a way that does not give away that it was restored.
With the development of new innovative materials, including architectural fiberglass, there are many reasons to consider using this as a replacement for traditional terracotta.
Matching original terracotta can be next to impossible. With so many terra cotta mixtures that have led to a wide array of colors and textures, creating new traditional terra cotta materials may not work or may take too long to get right. However, architectural fiberglass is technologically advanced and can create an exact match to fit other terra cotta structural components. Even terra cotta experts have had a difficult time telling traditional terra cotta from architectural fiberglass that has been made to look like terracotta.
Architectural fiberglass is much lighter in weight than traditional terra cotta. That means it is easy to pick up, load, transport and install. Regular equipment or manpower can replace the need to rent heavy equipment that is often necessary for the transport and installation of traditional terra cotta.
Architectural fiberglass is flexible and can be made to any mold or shape, including very elaborate architectural details and patterns. Traditional terra cotta just does not have the same flexibility or versatility. Even if it was attempted, the cost of doing so often becomes too much for a project's budget.
With such flexibility, architectural fiberglass can be used for any feature where terra cotta had been used. Plus, it can even work on applications where terra cotta was previously too difficult or heavy to use.
Just because it weighs less than terracotta does not mean it is more vulnerable to the elements. If anything, because it is less porous than terra cotta, it is more resistant to water and insects. It can also withstand chemicals, weather, seismic activity and fire. This makes it a much more value-added solution since it lasts longer and requires less maintenance and replacement.
Since architectural fiberglass is so much lighter than traditional terra cotta, it offers other advantages, including lightening the building load. This alleviates pressure on the other architectural features attached to the structure. The result is that the other features and the overall structure can last longer, extending their life and the overall value of this replacement process.
The Stromberg Architectural team can show you projects where terracotta has been replaced with architectural fiberglass with extraordinary results.

Floating and sun-drunk, She Went To Japan meanders effortlessly through a quadripartite of conspicuous tracks. The EP digs in early with woozy and haunting melodies in the title track "She Went To Japan". "ANNNA-LIZZZA" breaks away with faster instrumentals and vocals, starting off downright grimy. The singer howls into some off-screen chasm, never pausing for the echo.
Penultimately, "Bright Light in The Castle" tightens up rhythmically while belching screeches and scratches over airy, omnipresent vocals. "Heavenly Load (Silver Halide)" decrescendos into a lo-fi amalgamation of the previous three songs, stylishly ending on what sounds like carousel music played in reverse. It's pretty far out.

IMDB: Waiting for the Barbarians (2019)
The Playlist - Unnamed
The metaphors are a bit too numerous and on the nose at times, but Rylance's unbelievable performance overshadows the minor downfalls.
The Film Stage - Jared Mobarak
Despite the on-the-nose delivery of its messaging being intentional, Coetzee's script will surely alienate some viewers. The slow pacing won't do it any favors either, considering it promises weightier drama than that heightened, moralizing tone could ever provide.
Slant Magazine - Pat Brown
Ciro Guerra never quite finds an imagistic equivalent to the novel's apocalyptic mood and subtly hallucinogenic atmosphere.
Movie Nation - Roger Moore
Depp could be dismissed as just a name and a costume who got the film financed, but his Franco-Teutonic take on Joll never quite crosses into caricature. It's good to see him putting in the effort. Pattinson? His tiny part basically is just a name and a costume who got the film financed.
The Guardian - Unnamed
It's easy to read the film as a not particularly subtle metaphor for fascism or "the war on terror", and its black hats aren't so much characters as automatons.
Waiting for the Barbarians (2019)
At an isolated frontier outpost, a colonial magistrate suffers a crisis of conscience when an army colonel arrives looking to interrogate the locals about an impending uprising, using cruel tactics that horrify the magistrate.

The Iceman Cometh OFF-BROADWAY REVIEWS
Photo: Sara Krulwich
Theater: BAM Harvey Theater / 651 Fulton Street, New York, NY,
Tony Award-winning stage and screen actors Nathan Lane and Brian Dennehy come to BAM for the Goodman Theatre's revival of Eugene O'Neill's trenchant portrait of hope and disillusionment. At Harry Hope's saloon, the biannual visit of charismatic traveling salesman Hickey (Lane) is cause for celebration. But when a newly sober Hickey arrives, his renewed outlook on life threatens to upend the lives of his old friends, leading to a series of devastatingly comic and heartbreaking events. This epic 18-character drama—which garnered critical acclaim and broke boxoffice records in its extended Chicago run—is directed by Robert Falls, whose productions of O'Neill's works (with longtime artistic collaborator Dennehy) have been the hallmark of his 27-year tenure at the Goodman.
NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW OF The Iceman Cometh
'The Iceman Cometh' Revived, With Nathan Lane and Brian Dennehy
Charles Isherwood
February 12, 2015: The zombies stomping all over pop culture these days will seem about as scary as Santa's elves once you've met the dead souls inhabiting the sepulchral gloom of Robert Falls's production of Eugene O'Neill's The Iceman Cometh. The bloodletting and brain-eating in this case may be metaphoric, but make no mistake: None of the suffering men and women seeking comfort in the bottom of a bottle in Harry Hope's saloon will emerge truly alive. Mr. Falls's magisterial staging of O'Neill's harrowing drama, one of his very greatest, floored me when I first saw it at the Goodman Theater almost three years ago. Once again, at the conclusion of this blistering production, currently at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, I had to scrape myself up from my seat, with my innards churning. As enacted by a cast that is not likely to be bettered this season — on Broadway or off — O'Neill's symphonic ode to the lies we tell ourselves to survive sustains an enthralling dramatic intensity for pretty much all of its famously long running time, notwithstanding the undeniable longueurs and repetitions. (You could get mighty soused if you knocked back a shot every time the words "pipe dream" cropped up in the dialogue; this is not recommended.)

Hi, I'm English living in Barbados and have a property which comprises the conveniences we are used to in the UK - (TV, DVD, Video, Satellite TV, Phone, Broadband, Washing Machine, Microwave etc) with a charming tranquil Barbadian enviroment.
3 Bed/2 Bath House with large Kitchen, separate dining room and living room with internal office.
The master bedroom is ensuite with shower and toilet and has fitted wardrobes and a king size bed. The 2nd bedroom has a double bed and the 3rd bedroom is currently used for storage but singles or a double can be put in there.
The kitchen dining room and living space/office are all connecting and provides a lovely family environment to cook, hang out and relax to a dvd after a hard day on the beach - dad will be found in one of the many local bars or rum shops if you cant find him lol.
I would also consider renting out a room to females who travel to barbados on a regular basis - a home from home on your travels.
Our home is in a residential area a 5 min drive from the main tourist area in South Coast of Barbados and is convenient for many beaches, (my favourite is Sandy Bay about a 3 min drive from us where we go to play paddle ball before the sun sets) supermarket (Big B's,) post office, banks, shopping, restaurants and is very close to "the gap" the local nightlife (not close enough to hear it tho).
You will get to live as a local Barbadian rather than surrounded by other tourists although they are right on ya doorstep if you want to join in.

"The danger of identifying with a stranger is the possibility of becoming a stranger. To lose one's racialized rank is to lose one own valued and enshrined difference". In my preoccupation with borders, movement and all the various forms of differences they presuppose, I have, more often than not, encountered the question: how can imagery (and by extension photography) play a useful role in the restitution of our world towards more conscious and correlational human relationships? As an attempt to reflect on this question, I would like to begin with the above-cited quote from Toni Morrison's The Origin of Others. It would seem, at first glance, that it is a quote about reciprocity. Yes. There is that, yet it goes even further. It is a quote about affecting the gaze. Thus I would, for the purpose of my reflection, argue that everything begins with the gaze: affect the gaze and naturally, the effect reciprocates. In the language of the Igbo people of Nigeria (one that I speak as my mother's tongue), the gaze is central …

Poetics of Location: Beyond "Africa Focus" of the Paris Art Fair 2017
Version fraiçaise traduite par Janine Gaelle In the train from Paris to Berlin, I reflected on the events of the previous days. It was the last weekend of March 2017 and the Parisian art world was busy. This year, Paris decided to jump on the bandwagon of one of the most fashionable rave: the renewed focus on the African continent and its artists. The events, grouped under two main headings – the Art Paris Art Fair and 100% Afrique – were further broken down into satellite programs of exhibitions and talks in such places as La Villette, Galeries La Fayette, Galerie Des Galeries, La Colonie and many more. The Art Paris Art Fair, however, was the most literal in its claim of focusing on Africa by adopting "Africa Guest of Honour" as its subtitle. In this, the well-meaning intention was to give African artists a world stage and the corresponding red carpet to showcase and sell their artistic productions. The Art Fair took place at the Grand Palais, a large historic site and exhibition hall built in 1897 in preparation for the Universal …

On Permanently Temporary Lives: Reflections on Somolu/Bariga – Lagos
In the first quarter of 2016, I made an off-handed decision to find some semblance of coordination in the otherwise chaotic over-the-place kind of life I have led for a long time. This decision could easily have been inspired by the sheer weariness from answering questions like "where are you based?" that often serve as openers to conversations. Not that it mattered much what image people had of me, but at some point, I began asking the same question to myself – "where are you based?". It was not in a bid to find a fixed answer. As a matter of fact, just as nature abhors a vacuum, I abhor anything that attempts to permanently occupy a vacuum. I can invariably say that all my life, I have been hopping from one box to another in order to escape the very notion of finality. I am not wired to think of life in any way order than a perpetual journey of which all who are born will die on the road. The question of where …

June 7, 2016 around the web, Pets, Texas, viral video.
With firefighters flanked on either side saluting, a 16-year-old dog from Houston walked into a veterinary clinic in Cypress to be euthanized Monday. The golden retriever, Bretagne, was the last known living search dog who responded after the 9/11 terrorist attacks and helped locate human remains in the rubble, the Associated Press reports.
Bretagne was 2 years old when she and handler Denise Corliss were sent to the World Trade Center site where they spent 10 days searching through the rubble. She was nominated for a Hero Dog Award by the American Humane Association in 2014, and met with former President George H.W. Bush last year.

Rain affected a nail-biting finish to the last round of the Toyota Futures League fixture between ACT/NSW Country Comets and NSW Metro at North Dalton Park in Wollongong.
NSW Metro required just seven runs to win and the Comets needed two wickets before the heavens opened up on Thursday afternoon.
NSW Metro resumed on Day 4 at 1/89 but rain interrupted play on and off throughout the day.
Starring with the bat, Comets skipper Jay Lenton was the leading scorer in the opening innings with 81 to lead the side to 257.
It was a team effort with the ball with six bowlers sharing the wickets to see NSW Metro all out for 206 on Day 2.
Opening pair Matt Gilkes and Henry Hunt combined for 106 in the second innings but a middle order collapse saw the Comets dismissed for 231 and setting NSW Metro a target of 283.
Sitting at 1/162 it wasn't looking good for the Comets but some quality bowling from debutant Benji Floros (3-41) and Tom Pinson (2-61) narrowed the margin.
NSW Metro were 8/276 when heavy rain stopped play once again at the match was officially abandoned.

This video session covers a 45 minute discussion between the Awards winners from the Business Transformation & Operational Excellence World Summit, including IBM, Sanofi, Philips, Wipro, and many more.
On Day 2 of the Business Transformation & Operational Excellence World Summit, we heard from representatives of each Operational Excellence Award Winner to learn more about their project, awards entry and Operational Excellence outcomes. I've compiled the key learnings from each award winner on their entry below, or you can watch the full session here!
"It boils down to your #1 priority - in our case, we have a heavily matrixed environment - a business and market entity that works together. Whoever your stakeholders, board of directors, supervisors - you always rely on alignment at the top, and that's not always easy"
"Our key 3 priorities firstly, a cross-functional team - bringing in nurses, doctors and plugging them straight into the machine. Our second priority was to start simple, with a minimal project, and add complexity as the team members grew accustomed to the software. Thirdly, we redesigned our roadmap - instead of one long project, we set short goals - first 90 days build the product, second we enhance it, and so on - it adds satisfaction.
"We are a traditional Operational Excellence team, our company views us as focusing on process - however, this project allowed us to change our stance to bring about innovation, as well as meaningful financial results. We've gone from being 'process' people, to integrating with innovation in front of the entire company"
"Thinking on my experience the past two years, I can think of one of my 4 main points to succeed in driving Customer Centricity in an Operational Excellence Project: Don't treat a project as a process initiative, think of it as a Change Management initiative."
"Our project improved culture across the board to make improvements for the patient - I think what we are most proud of is changing the conversation in our organization. We changed the conversation around targets, how executives should be leading, and how data can help our team/understand our own problems and tell stories."
"Our entry focused on re-imagining value-stream mapping. We knew that this process was old wine, and we needed a new bottle. We sought to make these maps an end in themselves, not just a means to an end."
"I think what sets us apart is the 'Big Opportunity'. This started with one worker, one idea, two years ago - two years later we're 5,000 people strong across five continents, using social movement to maintain our projects. This is all about moving from 'I have to', to a culture of 'I want to'."
"[Cognitive Watson] is all about changing the way that work gets done. As we build these solutions, we utilise 'design-thinking' - this user-centric view requires that we think about the workers that will be dealing with new software and automation, to ensure that it's them who benefit from what we can provide."
"From a cultural standpoint, it all starts with a commitment to Operational Excellence for each worker from Day 1. We run through the history of Operational Excellence for every new employee, and provide Lean Six Sigma training throughout the business. It starts with leadership - our CEO is a black belt!"
"I think the reason we won is the way that our excellence program crowdsources innovation - if you look at the history of our Business Excellence program, it started around 10 years ago with 2 dozen guys believing in a training program. We open up the program to all professionals, not just the leadership - this is why we have 2000 Operational Excellence qualified professionals worldwide."
"I have to say, we have ONE priority, and that is ONE way of Manufacturing. However, this was built using the voice of every single customer and professional within the company. Our managers champion the ONE way of manufacturing, and we celebrate all improvements - even when we find waste! If we find waste, we have an opportunity to improve."
There are some fantastic questions from attendees, and these comments above are just scratching the surface of the incredible insights offered by these award winners. Take a look, and if you'd like to learn more about any of their operational excellence projects, you can download the winning case studies here!


Gbedu magazine reveals that just few days after receiving an open letter from a concerned fan who wrote her to give her marriage another chance, however, she replied that ever since she left, her husband, Olakunle Churchill has never called just to check up on their son, King Andre.
The actress, Tonto Dikeh deleted all photos that featured estranged husband, Olakunle Churchill from her Instagram page.
She has also deleted all the photos of their traditional marriage she posted.
But what could have triggered this reaction? Hope it's not Rosaline Meurer gushing over an 'invisible' bae?
