The examples above needn't be substitutes for your breakfast, lunch, and dinner; rather, they can serve to keep your blood sugar levels steady in between those bigger meals.
The following herbs and supplements (listed in rough order of importance) can further strengthen your immune system and aid your body in healing.
Cat's Claw: herb that reduces viruses and cofactors such as strep A and strep B.
Silver Hydrosol: lowers viral load.
Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin and/or adenosylcobalamin): repairs and strengthens the central nervous system.
Licorice root: lowers viral production and strengthens the adrenals and kidneys; helps balance the body's levels of cortisol and cortisone; very effective at impairing the ability of virus cells to move and reproduce.
Lemon balm: antiviral and antibacterial. Kills viral cells and strengthens the immune system.
Selenium: strengthens and protects the central nervous system; restores damaged nerves near the skin.
L-lysine: lowers viral load and acts as a central nervous system anti-inflammatory; impairs the ability of virus cells to move and reproduce.
Nettle Leaf: provides vital micronutrients to the brain, blood, and central nervous system; reduces pain and inflammation of rashes.
Monolaurin: antiviral; breaks down viral load and reduces cofactors.
Red clover: cleanses the liver, lymphatic system, and spleen of neurotoxins.
Star Anise: antiviral; helps destroy viral infections in the liver and thyroid.
California poppy: reduces inflammation and calms nerves, which helps stop nerves from swelling or going into spasm.
Zinc: lowers inflammatory reactions to neurotoxins produced by viral infections.
Feverfew: reduces inflammation in the nervous system.
The following list of fruits and vegetables are the best ones to incorporate into your diet (listed in rough order of importance). Try to eat at least three of these foods per day - the more the better - rotating your consumption so that in a given week or two, you get all of these foods into your system. Remember to purchase certified ORGANIC fruits and vegetables!
Wild Blueberries: help restore the central nervous system and flush neurotoxins out of the liver.
Sprouts: high in zinc and selenium to strengthen the immune system.

Nettle Leaf: herb containing alkaloids that can reduce inflammation.
Turmeric: root that reduces inflammation and relieves pain.
N-acetyl cysteine: amino acid that reduces inflammation and relieves pain.
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane): compound that reduces inflammation and relieves joint pain; restores nerves that have tightened up from inflammation to a healthy level of pliability and flexibility.
Use cold and hot packs. Place a cold pack on painful areas for about half an hour a day to reduce inflammation and speed healing, and place a hot pack on the same areas for about ten minutes a day to loosen up any muscle tension that might be developing around the damaged joints.

Even though iron in the right amount is good for you, viruses love to feed on this metal. Almost all cases of anemia are caused by a low-grade viral infection. You should therefore avoid iron supplements that are not plant-based.
Always consult your physicians before adjusting any medical regimens.
If you don't already, you may want to start getting into the habit of reading labels and avoiding artificial flavors and emulsifiers. Why? Because, as reported via EcoNews, some of the artificial flavors are toxic poisons that are powerful enough to cause liver, kidney, and heart disease, asthma attacks, allergic reactions, hay-fever, hyperactivity, and more.
Vanilla flavoring is peperonal or vanillin. Peperonal is a chemical used to kill lice. Vanillin is made from the wastes of wood pulp and has no relationship to the vanilla bean. Natural vanilla (which is pureed vanilla beans or vanilla extract) is much more expensive than artificial vanilla.
Pineappleflavoring, also known as ethyl acetate is used to fool our taste buds. It can cause liver, kidney, and heart damage. It is also used as a cleaner for leather and textiles. Its vapors have been known to cause chronic lung, liver, and heart damage. So, as long as we don't breathe when we are eating, according to the manufacturers, it is ok to eat????
Banana flavoring is amylbutyrate. This chemical is used as an oil paint solvent.
Cherry flavoring is Aldehydec 17, which will burn your senses. This inflammable liquid is used as ananiline dye in the manufacture of plastic and rubber.
Nut Flavoring is butraldehyde, one of the ingredients in rubber cement. Next time you are repairing your shoes, just think of the consumers eating their butternut or crunchy nut ice cream.
Nearly all artificial food flavors and food colors come from coal tar. This is a substance in coal and also petroleum. Coal tar is notorious as a causative agent in producing cancer of the stomach, bowel, kidney, liver, and other organs.
Stabilizers make ice cream smooth; and emulsifiers make it stiff, so that it can retain air. Some of the chemicals used by large manufacturers include: propylene glycol (also used in antifreeze), glycerin, sodium carboxyl methylcellulose, monoglycerides, diglycerides, disodium phosphates, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, polysorbate 80, and dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate.
disodium phosphates, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, polysorbate 80, and dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate.
An unusual treatment for pain comes from hot chili peppers. You don't have to eat them. Their "hot" ingredient, capsaicin, is mixed into a cream that is applied to the skin over the painful joint. Inside the nerves, this strategy is like fighting fire with fire. A brief stinging sensation stimulates the pain nerves and then shuts them down as capsaicin depletes a chemical called substance P, which nerves use to transmit pain signals. This is an old pain remedy, having been used as long ago as 1850 to treat toothaches. In controlled studies, patients report that capsaicin reduces osteoarthritis pain by more than 70%. Because it is used topically, it has no drug interactions and no serious toxicity. The main side effect is a mild to moderate burning sensation on the skin that lasts about 2 hours after application during the first 10 days or so of use. The painkilling power continues to increase week by week, presumably as substance P is being used up, although you will notice most of the benefit within the first 2 weeks of use. It is most useful for people with one or 2 painful joints and can be used for both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. You will find Capsaicin in drugstores under the brand names Dolorac and Zostrix.
Experimental work by Strivastava et al. (1995) has indicated that turmeric extract exerts its anti-inflammatory effects by decreasing eicosanoids synthesis. The study concluded that turmeric inhibits joint destruction while also blocking a protein responsible for inflammation. Clinical studies using turmeric extract have been limited but have shown some useful results. One study using a turmeric extract in a formulation with other compounds reported a decrease in the pain of knee osteoarthritis (Kulkarni et al., 1991).
Start documenting the date/time and food items that you eat. At the end of every day, log your pain level for that day. After a month, cut out certain foods that are known to cause pain, and see how your pain levels are affected. Do this until you have ruled out all of the foods that exacerbate your pain levels.

You could go for years without ever seeing a Bentayga on the street; you could easily go a lifetime without seeing its slick headlamp washer system in action. Bentley's designers wanted to make sure the striking headlamps stayed clean enough that you could see the automaker's logo from a dozen paces, but didn't want the typical, ugly water jets spoiling the SUV's lines.
The solution is mechanical excess of the first order. Pull the windshield washer stalk and the center of the side lamps pops out like R2D2's gripper, quickly releasing a spritz of water and then snapping shut again. It doesn't happen every time – the lamps don't get as dirty as the windshield does, after all – but it's definitely eye-catching when you see it happen.

Parishioners
Helping Beckenham Recover – Our SVP
Into Advent with Pope Francis – Part II
St Edmund's RC Church, Beckenham > Sermons > Into Advent with Pope Francis – Part II
ON THURSDAY I listened to the traditional Carol Service led by KS2 children at St Mary's School – sadly once again this could not be in church for Covid reasons and was recorded from the school, and I concluded the service with a blessing as usual. As in the past one of the highlights was a rendition of Silent Night including verses in French, Spanish and German: when we take the trouble to do this we affirm our belief that Christmas breaks down barriers among peoples (the carol was famously sung at the unofficial Christmas truce in December 1914).
Last weekend I started our reflections for Advent with the insights of Pope Francis in his October 2020 letter Fratelli Tutti. This needs to be our guide both for Advent and all our efforts to renew and restore the mission of our parish as we engage in the synodal pathway which he initiated a few weeks ago. Next week we begin our parish reflections which will enable us both to share with others what we believe, but also renew the life of the parish. This is why the whole process is so important – all of you need to be involved in this.
In Fratelli Tutti two years ago the pope wrote, quoting what he had said earlier to a gathering of young people of varying backgrounds in Skopke (Macedonia):
'It is my desire that, in this our time, by acknowledging the dignity of each human person, we can contribute to the rebirth of a universal aspiration to fraternity. Fraternity between all men and women. "Here we have a splendid secret that shows us how to dream and to turn our life into a wonderful adventure. No one can face life in isolation… We need a community that supports and helps us, in which we can help one another to keep looking ahead. How important it is to dream together… By ourselves, we risk seeing mirages, things that are not there. Dreams, on the other hand, are built together". Let us dream, then, as a single human family, as fellow travellers sharing the same flesh, as children of the same earth which is our common home, each of us bringing the richness of his or her beliefs and convictions, each of us with his or her own voice, brothers and sisters all'.
The pope's vision is crucial to why it is so good that children in our parish school sing Stille Nacht in different languages. As Britain descends into ever more toxic xenophobia, this is what makes us different as Catholics. The picture here is of the Jean Monnet museum north west of Paris, which I was able to visit recently. As some of you will know from various teaching programmes we have run over the years in this parish, Jean Monnet was one of the key figures in the setting up of common European institutions after the Second World War. The museum, which was his home for many years, is the place where in the 50s and 60s he pioneered work for reconciliation and peace in Europe. I have wanted to go to this place for many years: (https://www.jean-monnet-europe.eu/en/permanent-exhibition/museum); it is a bit out of the way but if you have the chance it is well worth a visit. I had studied Monnet for many years (thanks to the late Tony Kinch, whom many of us remember, I have the biography of him by François Dechêne) but it was incredibly moving. This was where the vision of European unity after the Second World War was forged; Monnet, Adenauer, Schuman, and De Gasperi were motivated by two things: the catastrophic destruction of much of Europe in two World Wars, and Catholic Social Teaching. This is why the Catholic Church supports European Unity.
While it was moving to be at the Monnet house I also found it rather depressing, more than I might have done a few years ago. Among photos in the house of people he had worked with were pictures including Harold Macmillan (MP not far from here in Bromley) and Edward Heath (again, Bexley and Sidcup); this country, with its sad flag-waving and xenophobia, has walked away from what Monnet's house, and the teachings of the Catholic Church, try to say to the world. People in this country do not know much about Monnet – it's not too late to put that right.
In Fratelli Tutti the Holy Father reflects on what is wrong with the world in the chapter 'Dark Clouds over a Closed World', and pays tribute to Monnet and the other founding fathers of today's Europe (quoting his address to the European Parliament in 2014):
'For decades, it seemed that the world had learned a lesson from its many wars and disasters, and was slowly moving towards various forms of integration. For example, there was the dream of a united Europe, capable of acknowledging its shared roots and rejoicing in its rich diversity. We think of "the firm conviction of the founders of the European Union, who envisioned a future based on the capacity to work together in bridging divisions and in fostering peace and fellowship between all the peoples of this continent".' (section 10)
Advent is not simply about looking at our own lives; nor is it simply about looking at our parish; it has to entail looking at the world in which we live. Pope Francis' vision of breaking down borders and barriers, against so much hatred in our land, has to be central to how we try to keep a good Advent.

2016 was quite a year for new musicals on Broadway. We welcomed the revival of Broadway's longest-running show Cats, got in line to conga with On Your Feet! and were immediately moved by Dear Evan Hansen. 2017 marks the dawn of new musicals, and we've rounded up a few that you absolutely cannot miss this year.
Come From Away is the breathtaking new musical that played record-breaking engagements in La Jolla, Seattle, and Washington, DC. Written by Canadians Irene Sankoff and David Hein, this is the stunning production from Tony-nominated director Christopher Ashley (Memphis).
Direct from its smash London run, Cameron Mackintosh's stunning new production of Boublil and Schonberg's legendary musical Miss Saigon lands on Broadway in March, 2017, featuring its acclaimed stars Eva Noblezada and Jon Jon Briones.
Follow the mesmerizing journey of the inquisitive and charmingly shy Amélie and who turns the streets of Montmartre into a world of her own imagining, while secretly orchestrating moments of joy for those around her.
Hello, Dolly!, returns to Broadway starring none other than Bette Midler. Directed by four-time Tony Award® winner Jerry Zaks, Hello, Dolly! will begin performances at Broadway's Shubert Theatre (225 West 44th Street) on March 15, 2017.
This production, the first new production of Hello, Dolly! to appear on Broadway since it opened more than fifty years ago, will pay tribute to the original work of legendary director/choreographer Gower Champion, which has been hailed both then and now as one of the greatest stagings in musical theater history.
Groundhog Day is the story of Phil Connors, a cynical Pittsburgh TV weatherman who is sent to cover the annual Groundhog Day event in Punxsutawney, PA, when he finds himself caught in a time loop, forced to repeat the same day again and again…and again. As each day plays out exactly the same as before Phil becomes increasingly despondent, but is there a lesson to be learned? Will he ever unlock the secret and break the cycle?
The 1993 Columbia Pictures film, with a screenplay by Danny Rubin and Harold Ramis, starred Bill Murray. Now widely regarded as a contemporary classic, Groundhog Day was cited by the Writers Guild of America as one of the 101 Greatest Screenplays ever written.
Anastasia features a book by noted playwright Terrence McNally and a lush, original score by Stephen Flaherty (music) and Lynn Ahrens (lyrics). Tony Award-winning director Darko Tresnjak directs.

(AC-3: dp. 19,360; 1. 542'; b. 65'; dr. 27'8"; s. 15 k.:cpl.
Jupiter (AC—3) was slid down 18 October 1911 by Mare Island Navy Yard, Vallejo, Calif.; launched 24 August 1912; sponsored by Mrs. Thomas F. Ruhm; and commissioned(t 7 April 1913, Comdr. Joseph M. Reeves in command.
After successfully passing her trials, Jupiter, the first electrically propelled ship of the U.S. Navy, embarked a submarine detachment at San Francisco and reported to the Pacific Fleet at Mazaltlan, Mexico, 27 April 1914, bolstering US. naval strength on the Mexican Pacific coast during the tense days of the Vera Cruz crisis. She remained off the Pacific coast until she departed for Philadelphia, 10 October. In route the collier steamed through the Panama Canal on Columbus Day—the first vessel to transit it from west to east.
Prior to America's entry into World War I, she cruised the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico attached to the Atlantic Fleet Auxiliary Division. The ship arrived Norfolk 6 April 1917, and, assigned to NOTS, interrupted her coaling operations by two cargo voyages to France in June 1917 and November 1918. She was back in Norfolk 23 January 1919 whence she sailed for Brest, France, 8 March for coaling duty in European waters to expedite the return of victorious veterans to the United States. Upon reaching Norfolk 17 August, the ship was transferred to the west coast. Her conversion to an aircraft carrier was authorized 11 July 1919. and she sailed to Hampton Roads, Va., 12 December where she decommissioned 24 March 1920.
dr. 18'11"; s. 15 k.; colt 468; a. 4 5", act 55 (max.), cl. Langley.
As the first Navy carrier, Langley was the scene of numerous momentous events. On 17 October 1922 Lt. Virgil C. Griffln piloted the first plane, a VE-7- SF, launched from her decks. Though this was not the first time an airplane had taken oft from a ship, and though Langley was not the first ship with an installed flight deck this one launching was of monumental importance to the modern U.S. Navy. The era of the aircraft carrier was born introducing into the Navy what was to become the vanguard of its forces in the future. With Langley underway 9 days later, Lt. Comdr. a. DeC. Chevalier made the first landing in an Aeromarine. On 18 November Commander Whiting, at the controls of a PT, was the first aviator to be catapulted from a carrier's deck.
By 15 January 1923 Langley had begun flight operations and tests in the Caribbean for carrier landings. In June she steamed to Washington, D.C., to give a demonstration at a flying exhibition before civil and military dignitaries. She arrived Norfolk 13 June and commenced training along the Atlantic coast and Caribbean which carried her through the end of the year. In 1924 Langley participated in more maneuvers and exhibitions, and spent the summer at Norfolk for repairs and alterations. She departed for the west coast late in the year and arrived San Diego 29 November to join the Pacific Battle Fleet. For the next 12 years she operated off the California coast and Hawaii engaged in training fleet units, experimentation, pilot training, and tactical-fleet problems. On 25 October 1936 she put into Mare Island Navy Yard, Calif., for overhaul and conversion to a seaplane tender. Though her career as a carrier had ended, her well trained pilots proved invaluable to the next two carriers, Lexington ( CV-2) and Saratoga ( CV-3) .
Langley completed conversion 26 February 1937 and was reclassified AV-3 on 21 April. She was assigned to Aircraft Scouting Force and commenced her tending operations out of Seattle, Sitka, Pearl Harbor, and San Diego. She departed for a brief deployment with the Atlantic Fleet from 1 February to 10 July 1939, and then steamed to assume her duties with the Pacific fleet at Manila arriving 24 September.
At the outbreak of World War II, Langley was anchored off Cavite, Philippine Islands. She departed 8 December and proceeded to Balikpapan, Borneo, and Darv, in Australia, where she arrived 1 January 1942. Until 11 January Langley assisted the RAAF in running antisubmarine patrols out of Darwin. She was then assigned to American-British-Dutch-Australian forces assembling in Indonesia to challenge the Japanese thrust in that direction. She departed Freemantle, Australia, 22 February in convoy, and left the convoy 5 days later to deliver 32 P-40's to TjilatJap, Java.
Early in the morning 27 February, Langley rendezvoused with her antisubmarine screen, destroyers Whipple (DD-217) and Edsall (DD-219). At 1140 nine twin engine enemy bombers attacked her. The first and second Japanese strikes were unsuccessful; but during the third Langley took five hits. Aircraft topside burst into flames, steering was impaired, and the ship took a 10° list to port. Unable to negotiate the narrow mouth of TjilatJap Harbor, Langley went dead in the water as inrushing water flooded her main motors. At 1332 the order to abandon ship was passed. The escorting destroyers fired nine 4 inch shells and two torpedoes into the old tender to insure her sinking. She went down about 75 miles south of Tjilatjap with a loss of 16.


Area Information - History of the Naming of "Chili"
If it had been a mild day in that cold, raw winter of 1881 in this Central Wisconsin town (and they do have mild winter days here – sometimes!), this community might have ended up with the name of Mild – or Tolerable, or maybe even Pleasant. But it's named Chili.
Back in 1880, when the population of the U.S. Was around a fifth its present size and James A. Garfield was elected to his short-lived presidency, the Northwestern Railroad was building a line through this area in order to service the sawmills popping up in the vicinity. One of these sawmills was built where Chili now is and became one of the larger operations in the area.
Railroad officials arrived on a cold day in 1881 to help select a name for the community. The weather was so unpleasant that the officials were reluctant to disembark, it was warmer on the train.
One of their party, anxious to get on with the naming and avoid getting off the train, came up with an idea.
"Let's call this stop Chili because it is really chilly here," he said, and that settled the matter.
Located somewhat off by itself on County Road Y in Clark County, Chili really tries to live up to its name during most cold, cold winter days – and nights. Especially nights!

Summary: A slightly late and slow start to the workout, but it was surprisingly good all things considered. Just as good as Monday, really. The only change today was the sequence on forearms: I did supersets of wrist curls with reverse wrist curls rather than drop sets on each, and changed it up to have flexor work first. Also went to a slightly different angle on the Incline hammer curls before that. Made for a monstrous forearm pump and a difficult time opening the door to get out of the gym. LOL!
Summary: Lots of blood flow and plenty of pump. This is probalby the longest day of the three on this split, but that doesn't mean it's long. Still no problem getting it all out in under an hour with time to spare. Delts are getting a much needed extended blast, and biceps are responding surprisingly well to relatively low volume. Forearms have been underworked for a while – strength is fine, but the burn is almost unbearable, and the pump is so intense that it almost hurts. In a good way, of course.
Summary: Another great one, and much more delt work than I've been doing. That's a good thing, though, as delts have always been a weak area for me, at least from a width aspect. I blame my parents for my narrow clavicles. LOL! Delts felt great, and they'll probably be sore tomorrow. Midback felt great, too, and much more "in touch" than it has lately. Biceps and forearms always respond well, and it was great to have dedicated forearm work for a change. I guess we'll see if I still have some grip strength left for lats tomorrow.
Summary: Switching the back work around a bit was a great move. It allowed me to actually use TORQ (30,20,15), which I can't quite do on chins, at least not back-to-back reps with 45-second rest periods between sets. Plus, this actually made the rest of back work feel more productive, so it's a win-win. No major changes other than sequence adjustments for back. A great workout made even better than last time.
Summary: Outstanding weather and an outstanding workout. The only thing that would've made it better is if I had been able to open the gym window for some fresh air. No, there was nothing wrong with the window, but our dog has decided that his new bathroom is right outside of that window. I'll take stale basement air over that any day. LOL! Strength was great, and so was the pump. I'll probably start using some rep-speed variations from SSCC to add to the variety. Despite the back work, forearms have felt a bit ignored, so I added direct work back into the mix. Felt great, and added to the lower-arm vascularity, which always helps with the pre-summer motivation.
Summary: Yesterday was rough, so I skipped cardio. Actually, I tried cardio… I lasted 8 minutes before I thought I was going to die, so I skipped the rest and went back to work. Woke up this morning with a bit of a headache and some body aches still, so I took something with my morning coffee and breakfast in hopes to at least be able to train. That did the trick, as I felt 100% in the gym. It was one of the best workouts in weeks, actually, and the pump was incredible! Lots of focus and intensity on everything, but maybe part of that was knowing that we'll have nice weather for the next week. Whatever it was, the workout was great.

Who's running the government now?
This from Americans for Limited Government explains a lot. A few excerpts:
An email sent from an Service Employees International Union (SEIU) lobbyist to Democratic members of the U.S. Senate shows that the SEIU had advance knowledge of when key votes on Craig Becker were to be held. Becker is one of Barack Obama's nominees for the National Labor Relations Board.
The email was released by Jeri Thompson, co-host of the Fred Thompson Show. Thompson described the email as "marching orders to the Senate HELP Committee, telling them what their schedule was going to be."
According to the email sent from Alison Reardon, legislative consultant for SEIU, "Your attendance at is crucial to appointing Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Please attend Thursday's HELP Ex. Session to report out President Obama's nomination of Craig Becker for Senate confirmation."
The memo continues, "This is the highest priority for organized labor, and Majority Leader Reid will file Cloture on Friday 2/5, and has assured us that Senate will vote to end debate at 5 p.m. Monday 2/8."
The email also asks for Senators to confirm their attendance at the executive session of the HELP Committee.
In essence, the Senate was working at the beck and call of the Service Employees International Union. Talk about buying access! Their millions in campaign contributions sure are coming in handy as far as that goes.
Fortunately, it doesn't look like the Becker nomination will go through because the GOP has another helper against him: Senator Ben Nelson, in full panic mode after word of the Cornhusker Kickback got out, has signaled he'd join with the GOP in filibustering the nominee. So the SEIU will be thwarted for now into getting their toady onto the National Labor Relations Board. (The vote today was 52-33 to invoke cloture with Democrats Nelson and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas joining the GOP cause.)
But just imagine if ExxonMobil or Halliburton had been behind a memo such as this – do you think the mainstream media and leftist bloggers wouldn't be screaming about impeachment hearings? Yet most of what we've heard about this issue from the folks at the mainstream media (like this CBS News example from today) talks about how business groups held his nomination up, not the machinations to grease the skids.
Obviously the situation ended well, but the question remains whether this sort of influence exerted by the SEIU and Big Labor in general is too much for America's good.

THE BRITISH RAILWAY STORIES LTD: "Titles"
For years I have been despairing about fonts, logos, and generally the very plain look of the title cards I use in The British Railway Series episodes on Youtube.
Well, no more - because a friend has come up with a solution, which, dare I say it, looks utterly amazing.
Gentlemen, I believe the word is "stunned". It works in iMovie too, and in different colours!
When I go to remaster the original 17 episodes and the 4 short episodes this coming Christmas period, the new title cards will use this spectacular font. I'm over the moon: how utterly amazing it looks!
Now think how gorgeous Episodes 18, 19 and 20 will look with a proper title card...!

Channel 8 reveals its '4-legged chair' strategy's success against Covid-19 climate The strategy has proven to help improve revenue base increase, effective risk diversification and continued growth in Q1 2020
Working-from-home policy and travel restrictions to high-risk areas as measures to curb COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in higher viewership of Digital TV during workdays and forced TV providers to shift to new strategies in face of a fierce competition. With agility and news strategies already in place, Channel 8 has taken proactive measures namely organizing a troop of news anchors to cover the situation give viewers up-to-date information, cancelling Muay Thai boxing program before the pandemic worsened to prevent the corona virus spread, and acquiring broadcasting license of Indian TV series for staying-at-home viewers. Moreover, the '4-legged chair' strategy previously implemented to help diversify risks and increase revenue base, has ensured its business growth and climbing ratings in Q1 of year 2020.
Mr. Surachai Chetchotisak, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of RS Public Company Limited, said, "The Covid-19 virus outbreak has not only affected government sector, businesses, economy, society, but also greatly disrupted consumer behavior, which is one of the challenges that must be overcome. Nevertheless, every cloud has a silver lining. This is especially true for Channel 8, which is the star of our media business with the highest income growth. Amidst an unclear situation like this, a clear vision and long-standing expertise in the entertainment business allow us to be able to react quickly in times of crisis. Channel 8 was the first channel to cancel live broadcasting of boxing show and suspend Channel 8 Concert Festival to prevent the spread of the virus. In addition, people who work at home watch television for the news, cause the viewership of news program between 8:00 am – 7:00 pm, to rise by 10-15% in the first quarter."
Mr. Surachai also described the four-legged chair strategy as a risk management strategy that balances the generated income by aiming to create a strong revenue stream by leveraging from Channel 8's internal potential and not relying too much on any particular means of income to reach the growth target by segmenting 4 income channels including;
Media sales and Sponsorship 50%: by taking proactive measures and treat customers as one of the main partners by helping them to create and develop ideas for advertisements and cater to each customer's need.
Program license for online and over-the-top (OTT) media service to domestic and international partners 25%
Commerce of RS Mall products through various programs 20%
On-ground activities 5%
Miss Nongluk Ngamroj, Head of Channel 8, RS Public Company Limited, said that "In response to the situation and with concerns of our employee's welfare, we have imposed preventive measures in accordance with the RS Group Policy for our employees by implementing work-from-home policy and staggering work hours for functions that are not related to the broadcasting system. For the business aspect, we have created precautionary plans including plan A, which investigates the situation realistically, and plan B which prepares for worse scenarios, and allows us to be ready to act. These strategies are thus the reasons why Channel 8 continue to strive in this difficult time."
Channel 8's measures against Covid-19 include:
Modifying ways of working of news anchor to solidify the coverage of the situation by adding column type news programs such as Covid-19 News Update and Weather Forecast Report.
Re-arranging the news broadcast schedule with 65% of the content about the Covid-19 virus, by presenting information and facts in each news program daily, adding Q&As sessions to engage audience and to help clarify and provide accurate understandings for the public as per duties and ethics of the press.
Producing news scoops on the outbreak of the virus after prime-time TV dramas. Channel 8 has being creating news scoops to share tips with the general public regarding the virus since March, before the outbreak peaked.
Adding new entertainment programs with the new Indian series "Naagin Season 3", the fantasy drama series of the year about finding true love. Guaranteed with first-class awards and accolades by Indian leading institutions, the series has created a phenomenon in India with the highest rating in every episode. The series is backed by a big investment for its spectacular CGI and will be on air every Monday-Friday from 6:00 pm-7:00 pm, starting April 13. Now is the golden time for the return of the rating-smash Indian series including Rangrasiya, Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?, Ganesh Mahathepiyara and Siya Ke Ram.
For Thai drama series, the production has been put on hold for the time being for safety reasons of the cast and crew, therefore the highest rated hit drama "Maneenaga" and "Sangnangprai" will be rerun.
All in all, the decision of the Office of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) to reduce the USO fee or the rate of annual payments to the research and development fund for broadcasting businesses, television business and telecommunications for the public good, will also help lower the cost of business operations.

The South East LEP sets a target of 100,000 new homes by 2020. Many Local Plans in Kent accommodate new housing by growing existing settlements. It's an approach that almost always means extending the built environment into the landscape and changes to existing communities. Given the sensitivity of both, the emphasis needs to be on design; design that strengthens the settlement and fully integrates the new with the old in a way that is sensitive to the landscape. Infrastructure is equally critical, and so too is collaboration and cooperation between local authorities, developers and communities. To look at these issues we brought together leading thinkers and practitioners from the public and private sector to share their knowledge of how to successfully grow places.

The performance of the local lymph node assay with chemicals identified as contact allergens in the human maximization test
D. A. Basketter, E. W. Scholes, I. Kimber
For many years, tests in the guinea pig have been the favoured option for the identification of the skin sensitization potential of chemicals. However, the mouse has been used widely in immunology research and can represent a viable alternative. A variety of murine assays have been described, including several methods based on ear swelling as an endpoint. Another option is to assess induced lymph node cell proliferation and it is this which forms the basis of the murine local lymph node assay (LLNA). The LLNA has undergone several successful interlaboratory validations and compares well with standard guinea pig assays. In the present study, the performance of the LLNA was examined with chemicals tested previously in the human maximization test (HMT). 30 chemicals, 23 of which proved positive in the HMT and seven of which were negative, have been tested. All but four of the materials found positive in the HMT also tested positive in the LLNA. Of these four, sulfanilamide and paraben esters would not classify as skin sensitizers in the guinea pig maximization test and nickel has been found to yield variable results in a number of predictive animal tests. Of the seven substances which proved negative in the HMT, six were also negative in the LLNA, the exception being sodium dodecyl sulfate. These data demonstrate that the LLNA is able to identify accurately chemicals which have the potential to cause significant allergic contact dermatitis in humans. © 1994.

Overview — Each of these Utility Districts had a need for a website. Initial and ongoing costs were major considerations. But the main consideration was the ease and timeliness of updates. Several board members and vendors of a focus group indicated that their experience with other website companies resulted in delayed updates, unbudgeted costs and overall frustration in getting simple updates completed.
We provided a custom website solution for a minimal cost investment for the District. The client did not have to purchase any additional software or conduct extensive training for use. We were able to get them up and running in 30 days and they have been managing their website since.
This client had a website in place, but no one knew how to make changes. It was built by a board member who left the board several years ago and moved to another state. We were able to acquire the required credentials to manage both the domain name and the website contents. We provided a custom website solutions for a minimal cost investment for the District. This client now manages their website content using our platform.
This client had an existing website and liked their design, but they were having difficulty with the timeliness of the updates being provided by their webmaster. We were able to convert their existing website to our Content Management System and saved them money on an annual basis as well as better the timeliness of the updates.
Overview — From time to time, the District will need to communicate with the residents of the District with emergency or urgent information. Email notifications are good, but TEXT messaging is more efficient and has a far better 'read' rate.

Anne Harris meets Shelly Corkery: "I look at a team of people and I can feel the energy"
In a retail world turned upside down by the digital revolution, the leadership style of Brown Thomas's fashion director includes a measure of "listen and wait" and careful attention to young people.

A funny thing happened on the way to the forum (The Currency of course!). Two people, in the same week, towards the end of a bleak November, used a metaphor I had never heard before.Firstly, in the august surroundings of the Abbey Theatre, Sean Scully, world-renowned and officially Ireland's tenth favourite artist, in the course of a fascinating dissertation on his life and work, said: "Art flies over everything." Three days later in a minimalist office in Anne's Lane South in Dublin, Shelly Corkery, fashion director of Brown Thomas, explaining the complexities of high-end retail said: "Fashion flies over everything."Scully's…

Fear really will not kill you.
Think about your words before your speak and also try to be discerning about the words you are hearing.


For as unusual as the name camp bark may sound, it tells us that its primary use is in relieving cramps. It is the national symbol of the Ukraine and is called Kalyna in their language. The name stems from a legend where young lady named Kalyna was associated with the birth of the universe. Traditionally, Native Americans used the bark to ease menstrual cramps and for lessening spasms after birth. This plant is also of great benefit to those experiencing headaches, arthritis and muscle pain.
Latin Name: Viburnum opulus L.
Botanical Description: A deciduous shrub which can grows to 13-16' and can spread from 10-15' wide. It has white, lace-cap type flowers which are similar to the shape and look of hydrangeas and large, maple-like leaves. The red berries grow in clusters during the fall.
Contraindications (Plant-Medication Combinations): None known.

Windows Vista business sales better than expected
Posted on Thursday, January 11 2007 @ 20:58:53 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck
Despite initial criticism it looks like Windows Vista for businesses is selling better than predicted:
The sales outpaced the first month's tally for Windows 2000 and only slightly trailed that for Windows XP, the market researcher said Thursday. Commercial revenue from Vista in December was 62.5 percent above that racked up by Windows 2000 in March 2000, its first month after launch. But Vista's total is 3.7 percent below what Microsoft got in the commercial channel for Windows XP in November 2001, its first month on the market.
In addition, the average price of Vista was about 4 percent higher than of Windows 2000 and roughly similar to that of Windows XP, NPD said.
"I think these results could be classified as 'strong,' or at least 'stronger than expected,'" NPD analyst Chris Swenson said in an e-mail interview. "Although Vista dollars were slightly lower than XP dollars in its first full month, I consider Microsoft's December results to be very impressive, given the commercial-only 'soft launch' approach that Microsoft took with the OS."
The real test will come later this month, as Windows Vista becomes available for consumers.


The term "friends with benefits," or those who are in a casual physical and emotional relationship, has become a common part of the vernacular. They have a blend of friendship and physical relations, yet they are not in a committed romantic relationship. This study was performed to analyze the reactions or association of young adults to a friends-with-benefit relationship in the previous year. The reactions were correlated to their gender, previous relationships, psychological disturbances and alcohol consumption. It was found that men were more likely to be involved in a friends-with-benefits relationship and higher alcohol consumption was observed in those engaging in a friends-with-benefits relationship. Further, thoughtfulness about relationship decisions moderated the link between alcohol use and involvement in friends-with-benefits relationships, and this moderation effect was stronger for women than men. Young adults with more psychological distress and those who felt constrained in the friends-with-benefits relationship were more likely to report negative emotional reactions. Implications for psycho-educational programs and future research are offered.
In friends-with-benefits relationships, there are no commitments as in an actual relationship. The need for emotional and physical satisfaction motivates most young adults into this relationship. However, this could result in deeper emotions and jeopardize friendships. It could also prevent clear decisions being made about relationships. Factors such as social pressure, alcoholism and psychological distress could instill thoughts about this relationship in young adults. Gender could also influence the initiation of friends-with-benefits relationships. Few young adults retain their friends-with-benefits relationship hoping for a progression to a committed relationship. This study was performed to ascertain the demographic and psychosocial factors that could induce such a relationship. The reactions to these relationships were also examined.
* There were 889 participants, including 341 men and 548 women in the age group between 17 and 25 years.
* The study was conducted as an online survey. The participants were given five days to answer the questions in the survey.
* The survey assessed the emotional reactions of the participants to the friends-with-benefit relationship, their psychological distress factors, and other related factors.
* It was found that 54.3 percent of men and 42.9 percent of women reported have had a friends-with-benefits relationship.
* Only 24.8 percent of men hoped that their relationship would progress into a committed one, whereas 39.5 percent of women hoped for progression to a committed relationship.
* For a committed relationship, statistically significant gender differences were observed.
* Alcohol was a primary factor influencing the engagement in a friends-with-benefits relationship.
All participants were selected from a university class on families leading to biases. It was found that because all were university students, the results could not be generalized. Self-reporting of the survey could have led to bias too. Although relationship research requires results from the couple, only one member in this study voiced opinions. The study also lacked details on the relationship such as the duration, previous relationships and the type of physical intimacy involved.
"The present study helps shed light on an important phenomenon in emerging adulthood." The study included the influence of various factors on friends-with-benefits relationships. Though this relationship could lead to a viable relationship at later stages, dangers such as sexually transmitted diseases and unplanned pregnancies could increase. Most young adults do not seem to have complete knowledge on these relationships. Thus, relationship education programs could play a vital role and could help raise the intellect of young adults in this perspective. The educators could help in increasing the awareness of all relationships and emphasize the disadvantages of factors such as alcoholism that could impede thoughtful decisions.


The client: A newly established SPV limited company whose directors are experienced buy to let property investors who have branched into property development. Their new focus is on building and converting properties into residential units either for rent or resale.
The project: The directors were in the process of converting a four-storey, former hotel into a block of nine self-contained flats. They had bought the property for cash with a combination of their own funds and an unsecured loan, then subsequently applied for and received planning permission to create four one-bedroom and five two-bedroom flats which they planned to sell on.
The finance: The clients required finance to complete the conversion and to repay the unsecured loan; however, after receiving a tentative agreement to lend from a high street bank, they had begun works, only for the finance to fall through.
Although experienced landlords, the clients are relatively new to property development, which meant that the choice of lender was somewhat restricted. We put together a comprehensive proposal for our clients which included a comprehensive breakdown of their income streams, details of their previous experience as landlords and developers, plans and a schedule of works for the development in question, and a breakdown of the loan exit strategy including onward sale prices for each unit.
Here are some more examples of commercial and development projects I've helped clients to finance recently. Do get in touch if you'd like me to give you a quote for your next project. My direct line is 01732 471609.


Warren County Ohio Real Estate News and Observations: Should I Pay Full Price?
We just lost one. Wanted to bid $5k under. Lost out to a full price cash offer. Not sure we would have got it, our offseason financed, but at least we would have been in the running.
In our market with little inventory to choose from, Chances are it will go full pirce. Or Over as in one of my lastest deals. We went over by 5000 in order to get the home. They were not willing to chance it as there were multiple offers.
My buyers lose to over listing price offers and no closing assistance needed and also waiving appraisals are brought in to the picture these days. We put our best offer in and if it doesn't make the cut then we move on.
I have a friend that says he only pays full price if there's no other option. But I totally agree with you overall.
William Feela That's not always a guarantee that the buyers know who to contact and what to say. It's nice when it happens, though.
The question often here is...how much OVER ASKING do I have to pay..

In 2008, with help from Jay-Z and Puff, Barack Obama got the hip hop vote, and became the first African American to be elected president. For a brief moment, the "Audacity of Hope" seemed attainable. The 2014 Ferguson riots signaled the end of that hope, and in 2016 the hip hop community had to grapple with the election of Donald J. Trump as Obama's successor. Now more than ever, hip hop artists such as J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar are the voice of the voiceless.
In the new, updated compact edition of Hip Hop Raised Me., DJ Semtex examines the crucial role of hip hop in society and reflects on the positive influence it has had on his own life, and the lives of disaffected youths from generation after generation. Featuring specially commissioned photography and seminal interviews he conducted with key artists such as Jay-Z, Kanye West, Eminem, Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Nas, Semtex traces the course of hip hop from its origins in the early 1970s through its breakthrough to the mainstream and the advent of gangsta rap in the late 1980s to the global industry that it has become today.
DJ Semtex hosts the UK's premiere hip-hop show on BBC Radio 1Xtra every Friday. He has interviewed the most significant names in hip-hop, DJ'ed on every continent, performed on stage with the likes of Nas, Rick Ross, Iggy Azalea, and Dizzee Rascal, toured with legends such as the Wu-Tang Clan, and opened for a plethora of artists from Macklemore to Dela Soul. He is currently the director of artist development at Sony Music.

130th anniversary of the closure of Tower of London tube station
Published 12 October 2014 by By Ian Mansfield History, Transport News
On this day, 130 years ago, the Tower of London station on the London Underground closed. No, not the one we know today, nor that other one you are thinking of. It's in fact the original of the three that closed — a mere two years after it had opened, which probably makes it the shortest lived tube station in the Underground's history.
Opened in 1882, the Tower of London station was built by the Metropolitan Railway and opened roughly where the current station of a similar name stands, but thanks to the arrival of the Circle Line in 1884, the station was replaced by another one just a few yards away.
Nearly called Seething Lane, it actually opened as Mark Lane, and was to be later renamed as Tower Hill. That station was to serve the local area until 1967 when it closed to be replaced by the modern Tower Hill station.
But back to 1884, the timing of the closure of the original Tower of London station is itself a little curious.
The new Circle line opened on the morning of the 6th October 1884[1], with both the old Tower station and its replacement Mark Lane station open at the same time.
It was the following week, on the 12th October that Tower of London station closed.
Quite why the old station didn't close as the new one opened is a bit of a mystery, but I can probably be laid at the animosity between the Metropolitan line and its rival the District line, who had been forced into an uncomfortable sharing of services to form the Circle line.
Anyway, whatever the reason, for one week, passengers could alight at stations that were just yards from each other.
They had to be careful to buy the correct ticket though — for the clockwise route was marked as O — for outer, and the anti-clockwise was I for inner. Buy an O ticket at Mark's Lane to get a few yards to Tower of London, and you had to go all the way round the circle. You couldn't hop one stop on the I side of the tracks.
The old station site once closed saw the platforms removed in 1903[2], and served a new purpose though, as in 1936, a new electricity sub-station was built into part of the station. This is actually interesting as back in 1882 when the station was built, it destroyed[3] some 73 feet of Roman wall[4]. The destruction did uncover some worthwhile roman carvings, including an tombstone erected by the wife of Fabius Aplinus Classicianus[5], who had been sent to Britain as Procurator in AD62.
Demolition of Roman wall in 1882
That stone was given to the British Museum, but a replica was installed in the wall of the electricity sub-station[6].
It may still be there, the sub-station certainly is — next to the old University building.
Roman wall remains inside the substation
A few years later, the remains of the original Tower of London station were themselves demolished. The station had been constructed from wood, and its removal in August 1940 opened up a view of the remaining sections of London Wall, which are still visible today.
The replacement station, Mark Lane served the Tower of London area until September 1946, when it was renamed as Tower Hill. Then in a curious twist, the site of the original Tower of London station was redeveloped to build the current Tower Hill station.
That new Tower Hill station opened on 4th February 1967, and the old Mark Lane site closed. But echoes of that old station still remain to be seen.
If you were to look out of the train when heading eastwards, you can see the remains of the station platform at Mark Lane. Although most of it has been removed now and is used for storage — the gap it left is clearly noticable.
Also below ground, but accessed from the street level is the subway — which includes the two entrances down to the platforms.
Now permanently sealed, they are useful ventilation shafts, and you can very clearly hear the trains just below as they pass by.
One small plot of land — three different underground stations. Not bad, even by the London Underground's fragmented history standards.

Nicholas Bennett says:
I worked on Saturdays in 1966 at Joe Lyons next door and used to arrive at the old Tower Hill station. When working in the back of the shop where the washing up was done in the basement one could see passengers going up and down the stairs on the other side of a thick frosted glass wall.

Renee-Louise Carafice is a New Zealand-born experimental pop singer and songwriter. As of 2014, she was based in Nashville, Tennessee.

Biography
Carafice was born and raised in New Zealand. In 2003, due to a severe bout of clinical depression, fears for her safety prompted the government of New Zealand to make her a ward of the state and place her in a mental institution in Auckland. Her recovery from this episode informed the recording of her debut album, Tells You to Fight. This album was recorded at Steve Albini's Electrical Audio studio in Chicago, Illinois and released in 2008 on the New Zealand independent label Monkey Records. In addition, she collaborated with rapper Serengeti and producer Tony Trimm in the group Yoome, which released the album The Boredom of Me in 2008. She also appeared on two tracks on Serengeti and Polyphonic's 2009 album Terradactyl.

While recording Tells You to Fight in Chicago, Carafice met the Nashville-based band Heavy Cream, who she eventually followed to move to Nashville. Her second album, I Will Raise a Bird Army, was released in September 2010. It was recorded at Hill Street Studios in Onehunga, New Zealand, and produced by Jamie Stewart in Chicago. The New Zealand Music Commission described this album as "starkly beautiful and gently disturbing". In 2011, she returned to New Zealand to support Sufjan Stevens. In 2013, Yoome released a 7" entitled "Tragedy of the War/Peaches and Pebbles" on the label Heardrums. The 7" contains two songs from their album June, which was also released that year.

Carafice's third album, Power Animals, was released in 2014 on her own label, Bird Army Records. It was written while she was receiving extensive hypnotherapy, and was originally released in an unfinished form in mid-2012. She later started a successful Kickstarter campaign that led to the album being re-recorded with the help of Daniel Tomczak. According to Carafice, "This album is an anti-suicide note: love songs to myself and hate songs to the haters. These songs say: I am alive, and perhaps being alive is more brutal than being dead."
