The Move were the band that came before Electric Light Orchestra. Quite literally, they transitioned into ELO. Not everything here is prog rock, but there is enough to qualify, particularly with that ELO connection. This is a cool new reissue. It's a double disc set with the first disc a re-master of the actual album and the second a lot of rarities. It comes with some great packaging, fold out booklet and another nice booklet, too. This is highly recommended as far as I'm concerned.
The guitar sound on this is heavy and crunchy. The vocals and other elements lend both a psychedelic and space rock texture. This is definitely proto-prog. It's also very cool. The instrumental section is mellower. It's also a bit trippy with a lot of psychedelia and prog rock in the mix.
Much more of a straight ahead hard rocker, in a bit different arrangement it wouldn't be hard to imagine ELO doing this tune. It's hard edged and psychedelically tinged. It's also classy stuff.
This is one of the most decidedly prog and complex pieces here. It's got some definite psychedelia built into it, too. Yet, all that stuff taken into consideration, it still rocks like crazy. The vocal arrangement is tastefully strange and the whole thing is just a bit weird, but in a very cool way. The closing movement is quite classical in nature while still managing to be rock music.
There seems to be a bit of Little Richard built into this rocker. It has a real soulful vibe, but a lot of late 60s rock and roll, too. It's a pretty mainstream rocker, but still has some intriguing twists to it. I dig the piano solo. The instrumental section later takes it into more proggy territory and includes some more piano soloing. There is an odd bit of psychedelic weirdness (and some doo-wop) at the end.
The opening riff on this makes me think of The Stones a bit. The band work out from there into some cool psychedelic territory. This is a cool 60s styled tune. It even has a sitar section at the end.
Piano and finger-popping serve as the backdrop for doo-wop vocals. Piano controls the later parts of the song.
This rocker gets a little different take. It's not really all that different, though. Well, to me the second part seems quite a bit different. It has some great expansive jamming. The weirdness at the end seems different, too.
This edited version somehow feels very much like a glam rock take on The Beatles.
I think I might actually like this version better than the one that landed on the album proper. This is more of a mainstream blues rocker here. It works well that way. The ELO reference is definitely less pronounced here. Perhaps this feels more like Cheap Trick.
This is the Move covering The Beatles. There's some rather annoying announcer stuff at the beginning. That includes the introduction of new singer Jeff Lynne, though. This is a cool performance that works well.
Truth in advertising this is an interview.
Here we get a different take on the song from the main album. This is a bit on the raw side, but tastefully. It's almost Cheap Trick meets The Beatles in a lot of ways.
Introduced by the announcer as a Jeff Lynne penned tune, this is a cool psychedelic rocker. It has some good changes to it. It's definitely one that has a lot of that ELO kind of vibe.
With the announcer at the beginning again, this is a straight-ahead rocker as delivered here. It's another strong tune. It's very psychedelic in texture.
Again we get the announcer here. This rocking cut gets a solid rendition here.
I dig the slide guitar on this. It's more on the raw side than the version on the album. It's packed with energy and style, though.
This interview talks about the transition from The Move to Electric Light Orchestra.
The Move again hit the Beatles cover. This version isn't drastically different from the other take on the cut.

Sigma AF 18-125mm f/3.8-5.6 DC HSM OS (Canon) - Review / Test Report
Lens Reviews - Canon EOS (APS-C)
Review by Klaus Schroiff, published December 2008
Lens kindly provided by Thomas König!
The Sigma AF 18-125mm f/3.5-5.6 DC HSM OS is one of the more interesting releases in the extreme zoom range league - it tries to keep at least a little rest of sanity with its "mere" 7x zoom ratio. While it may look harmless on paper today but it's still equivalent to a whopping "28-200mm" on full format cameras - during the film era (not so long ago) this was about as extreme as it got. The zoom range is just one aspect here though. The Sigma also offers HSM (an ultrasonic AF drive) and, more importantly, OS - Sigma's version of an image stabilizers. Combine all that with an affordable price of around 300€/US$ and we seem to have a winner, have we ?
The build quality of the Sigma feels surprisingly good on first contact - that's quite typical for the recent Sigmas actually. The lens body is made of quality materials and there's no significant sign of wobbling despite of the duo-cam design - the two inner lens tubes extend when zooming towards the long end of the zoom range. The broad, rubberized zoom ring operates slightly stiff whereas the focusing feels very smooth. The tested sample did not suffer from zoom creeping (which may develop over time) but Sigma implemented a transport lock (18mm only) just in case. The front element does not rotate so using an polarizer remains easily possible. According to the lens name the max. aperture should give you f/3.8 @ 18mm but EOS cameras will report f/4 here.
As mentioned the Sigma uses a HSM AF drive. This may sound promising but this incarnation is actually about as noticeable acoustically as a conventional micro motor and it's not really much faster either. The AF accuracy was good during the field tests with the EOS 50D. Full-time manual focusing is not available.
Sigma claims a benefit of up to 4 f-stops for its OS (Optical Stabilizer). However, this seems to be a bit optimistic. You may be lucky at times with shutter speeds that slow but it's more realistic to reckon with about 2 f-stops in field conditions.
There's only a single mode OS-switch (on/off) but the lens is able to detect panning (object tracking) which is different compared to Canon's IS implementation.
The OS seems to have a little side effect though. You may be aware that the active OS/IS/VR produces a "humming" noise caused by the system which shifts the OS/IS/VR element to compensate shake. The Sigma has the strange behavior to do that in non-OS mode as well. Even more strange - the image gets "lifted" into position when switching on the camera. Obviously the OS system remains active to keep the OS element in a static position in non-OS mode. This behavior is "normal" and no defect. This unnecessary power drain may be somehow annoying but, frankly, most users will not disable the OS anyway.
Equiv. focal length 29-200 mm (full format equivalent)
Equiv. aperture f/6-f/9 (full format equivalent, in terms of depth-of-field)
Optical construction 16 elements in 12 groups inc. 1x SLD and 3x aspherical elements
min. focus distance 0.35 m (max. magnification ratio ~1:3.8)
Hood supplied, petal-shaped, snap-on type
Other features OS (Optical Stabilizer)

Double Chin? There May Be a Drug for That
A recent article in Bloomberg Business discusses how people who suffer from an unsightly double chin may not need to contort their head, neck and face into funny positions to try to work off the extra roll if U.S. regulators sign off on a new drug.
Kythera Biopharmaceuticals Inc.'s experimental drug is injected into fat under the chin. The drug is a version of deoxycholic acid, a molecule that occurs naturally in the body to help destroy fat.
Kythera Biopharmaceuticals Inc. aims to bring true, rigorous clinical science to cosmetic dermatology with prescription drugs that modulate novel biological pathways in aesthetic and restorative indications.
The injection is still not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. A panel of outside advisors and academics will discuss whether the FDA should approve the first-of-its-kind treatment on March 9. The agency doesn't have to follow the panel's recommendation.
Kythera, based in Westlake Village, California, says the drug, ATX-101, contours the chin without affecting surrounding tissue. Injectable drugs like Allergan Inc.'s Botox and dermal fillers aren't approved to fix fat and loose skin under the chin, making ATX-101 potentially the first injection for the area to hit the market if approved.
ATX-101, is an adipolytic agent discovered at the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center (LA Biomed) and identified by Munshi. Adipolytic therapy, dissolving fat by injection, has been used for several decades, primarily outside of the US, but the products used are unregulated; thus there has been no real understanding of their mechanism of action.
Chin augmentations were the fastest-growing category of plastic surgery in the U.S. in 2011, according to an analysis by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. There were 20,680 chin procedures in 2011, and they grew more than breast augmentation, Botox and liposuction treatments combined, according to the society.
The FDA is scheduled to rule on the drug by May 13. It would be Kythera's first product for sale, and could generate $505 million in sales in 2020, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The drug has been tested on 1,600 patients in clinical trials, more than 90 percent of whom maintained a meaningful reduction of fat after two years, Kythera said on its website.

A review of The Western Academic Perspective on Islam, Muslims and Islamic Countries
This review comes with a recommendation!
In this book review, Imranali Panjwani makes an in-depth analysis of Saied Reza Ameli's Bibliographical Discourse Analysis: The Western Academic Perspective on Islam, Muslims and Islamic Countries (1949 – 2009). In this, he highlights his findings on an increase in Islamophobic rhetoric after 9/11 and the so-called 'War on Terror,' and how throughout Ameli's works, there has been a wide attempt from many scholarly sources to understand Islam and how western rhetoric has displayed it in their literature.
Ameli reviewed 23,872 works concerning Islam produced in the West from 1949-2009 .
He concluded that 13.4% of these works are Islamophobic and the number post 9/11 has increased drastically.
Only 8.6% of the sample make an effort in the academic works to understand Islamic values and tenets and to maintain a dialogue with Muslims despite their diverse value systems.
A staggering 48.4% of the works see an Islamic ethos as inferior to a Western ideology and this notion is conveyed in their works.
10.5% of the works intend to not stereotype Muslims and attempt to understand them each in their own diverse historical, social, cultural, political and economic contexts.
Ameli's extensive four volume set, Bibliographical Discourse Analysis: The Western Academic Perspective on Islam, Muslims and Islamic Countries (1949 – 2009), is an unapologetic and meticulous piece of work which strikes at the heart of how the West has viewed Islam since the seventh century. Whilst the bibliographic samples (which constitute 23,872 items) cover the period from 1949 to 2009, in Volume 1, Ameli offers a concise and engaging introduction to the origins of the historical relationship between the West and Islam, beginning with when, in 628 ce, the Prophet Muhammad invited the Byzantine Emperor, Heraclius, to accept Islam (15), and ending with the continuing effects of post-colonialism on Muslims. Though some scholars in Western academia may find Ameli's conclusions uncomfortable, his hope is that his work 'will make even a small contribution to changing the world for the better'.
The primary epistemological basis of Ameli's research is that:
during the past 60 years, a significant body of knowledge concerning Islam and the Muslim World – books, book reviews, articles, and PhD dissertations – has been produced in the West. Even though a great sum of it claims to be of a scientific standard, well-researched and unbiased, the fact remains that centuries of mistrust, misunderstanding and misrepresentation have had an undeniable impact upon Western thinkers and their scholarly work on Islam.
His method of bibliographical discourse analysis involves 'taking a critical stance towards text and context' in order to gather, analyse, and categorise 'the relevant material in different discourses and sub discourses' (61). All items, therefore, are critically categorised in accordance with five key discourses to show how Western academia has analysed and represented Islam, Muslims, and Islamic countries: 'Islamophobia', 'Islamophilia', 'Islamoromia', 'Islamoverita', and 'Neutral'. Ameli arrives at these categories by engaging in a conceptual analysis of academic resources that show the context in which the resource was written, the sociopolitical worldview inherent within the resource as well as the very text of the resource which outlines its own aims and contents. These categories will be outlined in the review for the benefit of the reader.
Islamophobia is, as 'the 1997 Runnymede report suggests, the shorthand way of referring to dread or hatred of Islam – and, therefore, to fear or dislike of all or most of Muslims'. Ameli argues that Islamophobia paints Islam as a monolithic, inflexible, distant 'other' – a barbaric, irrational, primitive, sexist, aggressive, and intolerant religion. This has its roots in the seventh century (and continued onwards) when many Christians feared that Islam would rival the status of Christianity as a dominant world religion. St. John Damascene, the seventh century monk and priest who was 'the real founder of the Christian tradition [against Islam]', claimed that the Qur'an imitated the Old and the New Testament incompletely and that this was to 'become a pillar of Christian accusations against Islam as a false religion in the centuries to come'. This mistrust was heightened in al-Andalus; while some form of convivencia was enjoyed there, it also had its fair share of tensions. There, some of the Christian clergies attacked the 'Muslim Prophet as a licentious Arab who promoted lust in the form of polygamous commandment'. The Crusades accelerated the derogatory image of Islam: 'the image of a savage, dark-skinned Saracen, the pagan enemy of Jesus Christ, did not appear merely as papal propagation to keep the flames of war high; nor was it meant to address the Crusaders only; soon after the First Crusades, it entered Christian art and literature, a space in its imagination'.
Ameli's approach in giving an overview of how the demonised image of Islam developed gives the reader an idea of the kind of themes used in the West to attack Islam. He does, however, mention that the Enlightenment period saw a re-evaluation of the Crusades by Hume, Gibbon, and Diderot, who argued that it was an act of folly on the part of extremist Christians. Regardless, Islamophobia today is nourished by the media, and Ameli goes further by stating it is institutionalised. The Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons (2005) and the Innocence of Muslims trailer (2012) only confirm Ameli's argument. This is substantiated by the number of works in Western academia which are Islamophobic: 'out of 23,872 works in our voluminous sample, 3,191 ones (13.4%) bear the label Islamophobia'. It is noteworthy that since the events of 9/11 and the so-called 'War on Terror', the number of Islamophobic works has increased dramatically, and is continuing to do so.
Ameli's next discourse within his bibliographic examination is 'Islamophilia'. This 'implies an effort in the academic works to understand Islamic values and tenets and to maintain a dialogue with Muslims despite their diverse value systems. In this view, conscious attempts are made to iron out any history-long prejudices prior to scientific investigation of Islam and Muslims'. Works in this category are generally sympathetic towards Islam, emphasise its commonalities with other religions, and reveal its fundamentally peaceful nature. Despite the noble aims of these works, Ameli concludes that 'out of 23,872 works in our sample, 2,042 (8.6%) engage themselves in the above mentioned Islamophile modi operandi'. This is a rather low percentage in comparison to the other discourses. It is possible to argue that because the manner of these works is not adversarial they do not provoke responses from Islamophobic works which employ a bolder and sharper linguistic tone.
It is here that arguably the most interesting discourse is analysed, 'Islamoromia'. Works in this category:
"contextualise Islam in the bosom of the Roman tradition embodying the West in general and from a historical perspective […] [and] […] try to compare [the] Islamic ethos with Western values; while the jury is still out on the debate, many works in this category – thinking, evaluating and comparing Islam with and in a Western mindset, pronounce their favour for Western values and norms as superior, the more practical and less ornamental side of the binary." (49)
Not only do works in this section represent the highest percentage of all the discourses (11,563 items constituting 48.4% of the total) but show where the real battle of ideas lies. When one scans the bibliographies in all four volumes, one is able to see the subtlety of these works which 'try to present […] the desirable domesticated Islam which poses no threat to the Western value system, on the one hand, and does not, as a result, engage in the clash of civilisations, on the other'. Authors of such works may be Muslim or non-Muslim; but, the author says, this is not of significance. The key issue, according to Ameli, is whether the majority of works in this section represent 'the postcolonial approach to the Orient' which shows 'a gradual shift from hard colonisation in the East to soft colonisation of the East' (39)
It appears that, out of all the discourses, the aforementioned section was the hardest for Ameli to categorise simply because detecting the subtle literary techniques and intellectual epistemologies of the authors are both difficult and time-consuming. As Ameli admits, 'the jury is out on the debate', meaning that research findings can be interpreted in many different ways. Muslim and non-Muslim scholars working in Western academia may have a genuine reason to consider Western values as superior whilst others may do so in order to purposefully demonstrate the inferiority of Islam. In my view, however, the hardest group to classify are those scholars that sincerely wish to examine the origins of Islam at a universal level and its capability from within to continually develop its interpretations in response to new moral challenges and contribute to humanity. Here, there is no issue of Islamoromia; rather the issue is one of true philosophical creativity driven by the search for wisdom.
The next discourse, 'Islamoverita', consists of 'works [that] intend to avoid stereotyping either Islam or Muslims by simply generalising what is already known about one singular aspect to the whole object of their study' and 'dedicate much effort to understand[ing] Islam and Muslims as distinguishable entities, and to study[ing] each in their own diverse historical, social, cultural, political and economic contexts' (54-55). Similar to Islamophilia, these represent a low percentage – 10.5% or 2,510 items out of the total sample. It appears that the publication of works of this nature – as important as they are in analysing Islam, Muslims, or Islamic countries from their own standpoint – is either relatively stagnant or falling gradually. This is in stark contrast to Islamoromic works, the publication of which is increasing at a relatively substantial rate.
The final discourse, 'Neutral', appears to offer some hope in analysing Islam as objectively as possible, though Ameli admits that truly objective works are impossible simply because every person has an interest, bias, or historical background from which they write. Regardless, works in this category involve a 'study [of] Islam in relation to the contributions it has made historically to [the] sciences, medicine, philosophy and pure sciences in different regions, time periods and in relation to other civilisations'. They are termed as Neutral because they are not framed around political biases, historical interpretations, or cultural (mis) representations. Ameli's findings are hopeful here: 'this category includes a considerable 19.1% of the total sample (4,566 works out of 23,872 ones)'; he adds that 'almost every two out of ten works the Western academia produces about Islam take conscious steps away from partisan politics, historical hatred and institutionalised biases against it'. Therefore, whilst Islamophobic works are on the rise and Islamoromic works are being produced at a relatively constant level, a notable proportion of scholars in Western academia are taking interest in the intellectual contributions which have arisen out of Islamic civilization itself. A useful example which Ameli cites is George Saliba's Islamic Science and the Making of the European Renaissance (MIT Press, 2011).
I can also attest to the presence of the aforementioned category in Western academia, having reviewed Humberto Garcia's Islam and the English Enlightenment 1670-1840 (The John Hopkins University Press, 2011). The book explores sympathetic literary representations of Islam by major British writers such as Henry Stubbe, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Percy Shelley, who was impressed by the Prophet Muhammad's socio-political achievements in Mecca and Medina in the seventh century; these ideas found their way into British literature and influenced Protestant Britain's own evolution in the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries, and helped redefine Whig principles and challenge Anglican authority. Therefore, Ameli's work is useful in identifying which books may fall into the five discourses as above.
In sum, I would highly recommend Ameli's work. He has been courageous enough to tackle a sensitive subject in Western academia – the politicisation of Islam, Muslims, and Islamic countries. Whatever one's intellectual attitude towards Islam, one must appreciate the depth and detail of this four volume set which is littered with graphs, data, and analyses. It is a useful reference book for identifying secondary sources on Islam within Western academia and, for those interested, for engaging with the critical debate of how Islam should be represented, taught, and properly researched. Here, Ameli presents a rather startling finding from the items he examined: 'only a tenth (2,526 out of 23,872) have, away from historical prejudices and scientific enslavement, tried to present Islam as it truly is and to understand diversity among Muslims and their identities, free from a common will to oversimplify and generalise'. This not only shows the need for greater scholasticism in analysing Islam but points to a long and rather unsettling history of how Islam has been viewed in the West: 'what the West conceives of Islam today is the result of its direct and indirect relations with Islam, distorted and demonised, through a vast temporospatial purgatory expanding from West Asia to North Africa and well into Eastern Europe during the Middle Ages/ Renaissance centuries. We harvest today what was sown in the past'.

Woman charged with damaging phone slapped out of hand of nuke petition circulator
Randy Ludlow The Columbus Dispatch
Sep 13, 2019 at 1:28 PM Sep 13, 2019 at 7:38 PM
A Columbus woman hired as a "blocker" to monitor petition circulators has been charged with criminal damaging for slapping the cellphone out of the hand of a man obtaining signatures on the House Bill 6 referendum.
Dublin police charged Stinner Wimberly-Shine, 51, with the misdemeanor following a Tuesday afternoon confrontation with a hired circulator outside the Dublin branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library.
Harold Chung, 46, of Las Vegas, called police to say that in addition to his phone being knocked to the ground while taking a photo of the woman, she assaulted him by bumping his shoulder while he was picking up his phone and her fliers.

Police said library surveillance video failed to prove that the contact constituted assault, but Wimberly-Shine was charged with shattering the screen of Chung's phone. She was issued a summons and ordered to appear in Franklin County Municipal Court. The charge is a second-degree misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of 90 days in jail and a $750 fine.
The woman told police Chung came up to her and hit her in the nose with the phone, which police said was contradicted by the surveillance video.
The Dublin police report said Wimberly-Shine was involved in a "similar disturbance call" with a petition circulator Wednesday at the library branch in Upper Arlington. Police in that city said they had no report of such an incident.
Wimberly-Shine worked as a "blocker" hired for FieldWorks, a Washington, D.C., company employed by Generation Now, which supports the House Bill 6 bailout of FirstEnergy Solutions' pair of nuclear power plants. "Blockers" are instructed to monitor petition circulators and to speak with voters in an attempt to persuade them not to sign petition forms.
Wimberly-Shine declined to comment when contacted on Friday. Generation Now spokesman Curt Steiner said she was fired by FieldWorks on Thursday and the company has offered to pay for the damages to Chung's phone.
Chung was working on behalf of Ohioans Against Corporate Bailouts, a group seeking to gather the valid signatures of 265,774 registered Ohio voters by Oct. 21 to place a referendum before voters on the November 2020 ballot.
Signed into law by Gov. Mike DeWine, House Bill 6 will impose an 85-cent monthly charge on residential electricity bills to generate $150 million a year to subsidize the Lake Erie plants owned by Akron-based FirstEnergy Solutions. If the referendum makes the 2020 ballot, the law will not take effect unless voters approve it.

Q: Linq to SQL .Equals returns true when comparing int to string --> Id.Equals("5") returns true We have a new developer that is just now learning LinqToSql.  While going over his code, we noticed that he was using .Equals instead of == for a value comparison.  On top of that, he is comparing an int with a string.  What completely baffled us, was that it worked!
After doing some testing it appears to only work with LinqToSql.  Linq to objects returns false and just doing int.Equals("string") returns false.
Below is a simple test using two sql tables:

Customer
    Id(PK)(int)
    Name(varchar)
    CompanyId(FK)(int)

Company
    Id(PK)(int)
    Name(varchar)

Console.WriteLine("{0}.Equals(\"{1}\") returns {2}", 3, "3", 3.Equals("3"));
        using (WrDataClassesDataContext wrDataContext = new WrDataClassesDataContext())
        {
            var customers1 = from c in wrDataContext.Customers
                            where c.CompanyId.Equals("3")
                            select c;

            Console.WriteLine("int .Equals String Results: ");
            foreach (Customer customer in customers1)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(customer.Name);
            }

            var customers3 = from c in wrDataContext.Customers
                        where c.CompanyId == 3
                        select c;

            Console.WriteLine("int == int Results: ");
            foreach (Customer customer in customers3)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(customer.Name);
            }
        }

RESULTS:
3.Equals("3") returns False
int .Equals String Results:
Mike
Joe
Candy
int == int Results:
Mike
Joe
Candy
Press any key to continue . . .

Any explanation?

A: Your comparison is translated to SQL, and SQL behaves differently from C# and .NET Framework. It's similar to how "a" == "A" is false in C#, but may be true when it's part of a query.

A: LINQ to SQL generates SQL code from your LINQ query. In SQL, a comparison of an int to a string is perfectly valid. What happens is that by using .Equals, you bypass the type checking the == operator does at compile-time.

Not only is "living" décor beneficial to your personal well-being by filtering harmful chemicals from the air and regulating humidity, but can instantaneously add a vibrant glamour to your home's interior.
Patone, a persuasive color predictor may have transitioned from green to ultra-violet in 2018, but that won't prevent people from "thinking green", keeping their interiors on par with designer's use of living foliage.
Not only are plants good for our health by cleaning our indoor air, but is artistically attractive too. Designer Rowena Gonzales, Founder of Liquid Interiors, sees that homeowners are willing to pay a premium for "living" décor, and that it is heightened by a larger trend – wellness.
This option is far more inexpensive to those more luxurious interior choices. Shop locally or harvest from your own backyard, then add them to a beautiful or unique planter.
Gonzales acknowledges some people more than others are "a houseplant kind of person," but she contends that we all should be filling up our homes from top to bottom with plants.
"Introducing plants into our homes is one of the ways we can easily and practically counteract the negative effects of city living," says Gonzales.
"Indoor plants can improve air quality by creating oxygen and absorbing carbon dioxide, regulating humidity and absorbing harmful chemicals, such as, formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds," she continues. Plants are great stress relievers "and gives us overall higher levels of well-being," Gonzales states, allowing for the possibility to increase people's creativity and production.
The most important thing when enhancing your spaces is "to have fun with it," says Gonzalez. "See your plants as a form of art to be placed as vignettes on shelves, in corners, and spaces where there are natural gaps," she advises.
Bring additional depth to a room's features by hanging plants as well. Oversized glass baubles are an invaluable way to liven up a room.
Add some spice: Layer plants by sizes while adding in a sculptural plant – making a cluster arrangement. Odd number assemblies are more pleasing to the eye. "Even numbers create symmetry; off numbers create interest," she explains. Green, "living" walls, first seen at the corporate level, are finding their way into residential spaces, especially smaller ones where there's limited placement options for pots. But be careful to choose the appropriate plant for the conditions.
One exception is Polarmoss, indigenous to Finland, and is being marketed in Hong Kong as living artwork. It can be found at Wah King Garden Arts in Sai Kung and thrives in indoor settings, with limited effort.
At the Liquid Interiors office, Gonzales preserves a formula of 1 large plant between every 4 people, using plants as artful decoration. When at home each plant's pot is chosen and tied into a room the same way we do it with furniture.
In the living room you would observe a Swiss Cheese plant along with a jade plant located in an elevated pot. While the dining table sports a fish bowl, fish included, with some greenery of its own.
Gonzales suggest using succulents since they are smaller in size and easily upheld, while adding a sculptural form to every minimalist's aesthetic.
The majority of houseplants do require effort to maintain, including fertilizer. Gonzales prepares her own plant nutrition by creating fertilizer from table scraps. This process takes as little as 4 hours in her Smart Cara indoor composter. More labor intensive micro greens into an edible garden are also a nice touch.
Australian architect Jason Chongue believes that most people are put off by adding plants into their spaces for fear of disappointment.
The passionate grower put his professional practice behind for the ability to work exclusively in his own business, The Plant Society, in Collingwood, a neighborhood in Melbourne, Australia. His store operation includes design services and gardening workshops.
The book highlights the 25 indoor plants best suited for you based on how easy they are to maintain to the more unusual, labor-concentrated plants. The guide also includes styling advice, such as, how to decorate different rooms in your home with plants; and how to obtain personality with the use of unique pots and planters.
When he hears someone say they've killed every house plant in the past, Chongue responds that, "it's not so difficult to keep them happy." His book covers it all from basic plant care, repotting to the plants best suited for pets.
His goal is to inspire everyone to set their fears aside and create their "very own indoor rainforest" – like Chongue and his partner has done.
The couple shares a 5 meter wide and 30 meter long urban-fringe terrace home; that they have jam-packed with 400 plants. Chongue believes the maintaining of healthy and happy plants is achieved by choosing those best suited to the environment at hand.
He suggests starting small with just a few plants and fostering your collection as your gardening skills progress.
"Use different leaf textures, and layer them up," he says. Optimize window ledges and vacant corners by placing flowing ivies from them, or adding a smaller piece to a dining table.
"Plants bring a lot of softness to a home and remind everyone that we really do rely on the environment," he says. Smaller spaces, like flats, often lack finishing touches plants can give.
Not sure if you are ready for the commitment of maintaining plants? Hong Kong-based stylist Marilen Faustino-Montenegro believes nature in any form whether it is fresh cut flowers, pebbles or driftwood, can not only spruce up a room, but generate stunning displays as well.
Lastly, to help you manage your home renovation projects, we recommend using our Browzzer app to simplify the process.
You're about the see this trend in home décor everywhere.
With Pantone declaring it to be the hottest trend of the new year (we totally agree as we've been seeing it everywhere), the geometric trend that presented itself in the angular print here and the faceted vase is about to blow up.
Geometry plays a big part in staging and decorating and you're bound to notice more simple shapes picking up speed and design from everything including tiles, wallpaper, furnishings and décor. Expect an abundance of plentiful circles, triangles and hexagons!
Kasey Hodgson, co-owner and interior designer of Roost Interiors agrees and explains "Because of my background in graphics design, I have particular fondness for geometric patterns".
As seen above, the recent living room renovation showcases a modern twist on timeless classics with features that array of shapes and sizes when combined together.
Clean-lined cabinet doors with geometric molding contrasts nicely with over scaled circular knobs, over-sized subway tiles laid out with a patterned mosaic marble floor. "We plan on incorporating bold geometric using tile, wallpaper and fabric in the upcoming year", says Kasey as she finds clients tend to be big fans of the straight forward geometric motifs.
ITALIANBANK, an interior and design blog has also seen this trend take off in tile work- as evidenced by the diamond-shaped pieces showcased at Cersaie, the International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings.
"Unexpected" hexagons, chevron and fish scale patterns left quite an impact and a new take on simplistic circles and symmetrical shapes.
Before you tear down your walls and rip up your floors, try to incorporate subtle items to compliment what you already have. Like an art prints for the wall or end tables by the sofa or even carpets and mirrors will keep it busy but yet simple.
Make the trend a focal point in your home, like tetris-styled back splash in your kitchen or like the one here via Architectural Digest – or even a dedicated wallpaper nook would look on point.

Biden's Cold War summit isn't about democracy, it's about US domination
By Kelly P. Taylor	 On Dec 9, 2021
U.S. President Joe Biden speaks during a United Nations General Assembly COVID Virtual Summit at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in Washington, DC, United States, September 22, 2021. / Getty
Editor's Note: Fiona Edwards is a member of the No Cold War campaign organizing committee. The article reflects the views of the author and not necessarily those of CGTN.
President Joe Biden's so-called "Democracy Summit" on December 9-10 is the latest move in America's new Cold War agenda. Under the guise of promoting "democracy" and "human rights", the United States conceals the true objectives of this summit, which is to divide the world and recruit new allies to join the dangerous American offensive. against China. The United States has absolutely no intention of "democratizing" international relations. In fact, the exact opposite is happening – the United States seeks to preserve its American dominance in world affairs.
The true Cold War character of Biden's "Democracy Summit" was revealed in the list of those who were invited to attend and those who were excluded.
Countries that refuse to submit to US foreign policy, including China, Russia and Cuba, were of course not invited to the Biden summit. Indeed, the whole summit was organized to attack those countries, especially China, which are pursuing their own independent path.
That this is a summit to promote a Cold War agenda is more strikingly confirmed by Biden's decision to exclude China but invite Taiwan, a region of China, to the summit. The move is both provocative and a blatant attempt to interfere in China's internal affairs, violating the United States' stated commitment to the one-China principle, which Biden reaffirmed in a phone call. with Chinese President Xi Jinping last month.
The United States also uses the summit to intervene in the internal affairs of other countries. A clear example is Biden's decision to invite Juan Guaido, a Venezuelan opposition politician, to the summit, but not to invite the democratically elected government of Venezuela.
The US administration recognizes Guaido as interim president of Venezuela despite the fact that he never even stood for election to be president of Venezuela. Guaido is widely despised by the Venezuelan people for repeatedly supporting the US intervention in his own country, including multiple violent attempts to stage a coup to overthrow Venezuela's democratically elected government led by President Nicolas Maduro.

Bolivia is another Latin American country with a democratically elected government that was not invited to participate in Biden's "Democracy Summit". In October 2019, the United States supported a violent coup against the President-elect of Bolivia, Evo Morales, who was forced into exile. After a year of mass struggle, the coup was called off and Luis Arce was elected president in November 2020. The hostility of the US administration towards the new democratically elected government of Bolivia continues, which continues. clearly reflected in the fact that he was not invited to join Biden's party. Mountain peak.
The attitude of the Biden administration towards Venezuela and Bolivia is in line with Washington's long-term foreign policy approach to Latin America and the Caribbean, which sees the entire region as the backyard of states. -United. The Latin American countries which pursue their own sovereign and independent path, instead of following American diktats, are treated with the greatest hostility by the American administration and subjected to intervention.
Among the countries and regions Biden invited to participate in the "Summit for Democracy" are allies, including Britain, which supported and participated in the United States' brutal wars of aggression against Afghanistan, the Iraq, Libya and Syria. Millions of people have been killed, injured and displaced as a result of these barbaric wars which demonstrate America's true "human rights" record.
It is particularly ridiculous and hypocritical for Britain to join the US summit aimed at teaching China about "human rights" and "democracy" when Britain has been involved in two opium wars against China and ruled as a colonial power in Hong Kong for over 150 years. For a century and a half of British rule in Hong Kong, there has been no election for the governor of Hong Kong in any form.
The ridiculously named "Summit for Democracy" in the United States is extremely divisive and therefore dangerous. It takes place at a time when humanity urgently needs global cooperation to deal with growing threats around the world, including a pandemic that has already killed millions of people in the past two years, a economic crisis that plunges millions of people around the world into poverty and a climate crisis which, according to the United Nations, could lead to a "catastrophe" for human civilization.
The United States' Cold War agenda, which aims to deliberately create a world divide and not world cooperation, is totally against the interests of mankind. In fact, the US aggression against China increases international instability and creates new threats, including the threat of a new nuclear arms race and the diabolical prospect of a devastating hot war between two weapon states. nuclear. It is therefore clear that the new cold war agenda of the United States is the real threat to human rights around the world.

2 examples of how technology made the difference during the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami
Created April 22, 2011 Last update June 4, 2017 13:32 By Armand Vervaeck and Dr. James Daniell
Japan launched a new earthquake warning system in 2007.
It uses sensors that pick up the faster-moving and less destructive P-waves produced by an earthquake and transmits a warning broadcast on television and radio before the destructive S-waves and surface waves arrive, giving recipients of the message, precious seconds to seek shelter. (P waves are generally about 1.7 times faster than S waves)
The system gives people as much as a 50 second warning before an earthquake occurs in places far from the epicenter. The system is only really effective for places a decent distance away from epicenter.
Eight earthquake warnings were issued the first year the system was in operation. The main problem with them is that few people actually were aware of the warnings. Japanese companies have begun developing cell phones ad other devices that can pick up the warnings better. Japan also has a tsunami warning system that issues warnings on television.
Practical uses of the detection of P-waves
Shinkansen bullet train - image courtesy -Tokyo5.wordpress.com
Shinkansen bullet trains
The Tohoku Shinkansen is a high-speed passenger train (bullet train) that connects Tokyo to the northern city of Morioka in Honshu, Japan.
The line is protected by a seismic early warning system, which includes two sets of accelerometers: one set is deployed along the line (wayside system), while the other comprises eight accelerometers placed along the eastern coast of Honshu (coastal system). The coastal system is designed to protect the train against earthquakes with origin in the highly active offshore subduction zone.
It causes trains to automatically stop when the ground acceleration exceeds a preset limit.
Earthquake prepared elevators
Otis, the elevator maker, had equipped a lot of their Japanese elevators with safety seismic equipment.
About half the elevators Otis maintains in Japan—including most in high-rise buildings and regions with severe earthquake risk—are equipped with seismic detectors. At the first vibration of the quake (P-wave), these devices return the elevators to the ground floor so passengers can exit, then block them until Otis can check their safety.
The detectors did their job. Some 16,700 elevators in the areas affected by the quake were shut down by the emergency systems. Otis, which had worldwide revenues of $11.58 billion in 2010 and manufactured about 40,000 of the 80,000 elevators it services in Japan, didn't receive any report of trapped or injured passengers. "All the elevators operated as they were supposed to" said a company spokesperson.
* Many factories in earthquake-prone areas have machines that automatically shut down when they sense vibrations from a quake.
* The Japanese gas company has installed meters that shut off the gas supply in the event of tremor.
* Nuclear power plants and other dangerous factories are also automatically shut down. (!?!?-ER)
Important remark : P-waves and S-waves arrive close together at places close to the epicenter, where warning would only be a matter of a couple seconds at most. As a result, such equipment will only be reliable with an epicenter at least 100 km (around 15-20 secs distance for P-waves, and around 30-40 secs for S-waves) from a populated area. Practically speaking it will be mainly used for subduction triggered earthquakes. Other countries able to use these systems are among others South American countries, Philippines, Indonesian, New Zealand etc. However, only 2 seconds is required to shut down essential facilities like power systems for hospitals and other services, so different systems are applicable if used for life safety versus life continuation. Therefore even at a much closer distance, early warning systems are extremely useful.
Something more about the speed of P-waves and S-waves
The speed of an earthquake wave is not constant but varies with many factors. Speed changes mostly with depth and rock type. P waves travel between 4 and 13 km/sec. S waves are slower and travel between 3.5 and 7.5 km/sec.
Generally spoken the destructive S-wave is approx. 50-60% of the velocity of the P-wave.
Make the calculation yourself with an average of 8 km/sec. and a distance from the epicenter of 240 km. The P-wave will then arrive 30 sec. after the rupturing. The destructive S-wave, traveling at 4.8 km/sec (60% of 8) will arrive after 50 seconds. The 20 seconds time lapse (in this example) is for a lot of instruments enough to safely stop.

Betty White agent denies rumor that her death was related to getting a booster shot
January 3, 2022 bilal1558
Betty White's agent denies rumor her passing was related to getting the COVID-19 booster shot: 'Her death should not be politicized'
White died aged of natural causes aged 99 on December 31, 2021
Rumors swirled that her passing was related to a COVID-19 booster shot
Her agent Jeff Witjas denied the rumor stating she died 'peacefully in her sleep'
Witjas added that her death 'should not be politicized'
By George Stark For Dailymail.com
Published: 16:39 EST, 3 January 2022 | Updated: 16:54 EST, 3 January 2022
Betty White's longtime agent and friend is denying an Internet rumor that the TV icon's death was linked to her getting a COVID-19 vaccine booster shot.
Some social media users had shared a quote falsely attributed to White prior to her death, which said: 'Eat healthy and get all your vaccines. I just got boosted today.'
However, her agent Jeff Witjas has denied she ever gave the quote, saying her death 'should not be politicized.'
In a statement to PEOPLE on Monday, Witjas added: 'Betty died peacefully in her sleep at her home. People are saying her death was related to getting a booster shot three days earlier but that is not true.'
'She died of natural causes. Her death should not be politicized — that is not the life she lived.'
Denial: Betty White's agent has denied a rumor that her passing was related to getting the COVID-19 booster shot (Pictured together in 2015)
It was also revealed this week that White lived her last few years in her Los Angeles home over COVID concerns – but had wished she could have stayed in the Carmel, California, home she shared with her late husband Allen Ludden.
White was living in her five-bedroom, six-bathroom Brentwood home in West Los Angeles when she died on Friday – just weeks before her 100th birthday.
Witjas told the Associated Press she had been staying at her LA home during the pandemic out of caution.
Rumors: A quote attributed to White had been doing the rounds on the Internet
Legend: Betty appearing at the 70th Emmy Awards in LA (2018)
But if she had it her way, the New York Post reports, White would have remained at her longtime marital home in Carmel, which she built with Ludden when they bought the land back in 1978 for just $170,000.
Ludden died just three days shy of their 18th wedding anniversary in June 1981, leaving White with three step-children: David, Martha and Sarah.
'She never wanted to leave her home in Carmel, but was forced to for at-home care,' an unnamed source told he Post, explaining: 'Los Angeles was more accessible.
'If she had it her way, Betty would've lived and died in that home [in Carmel],' he said. 'It's the home she shared with her husband – it's where she felt more comfortable.'
Meanwhile, her agent Witjas also revealed that he always reminded Betty of her popularity among fans.
Rest in peace: White, who died at the age of 99 on Friday, was only two and a half weeks away from celebrating her 100th birthday in January
He told People: 'She knew it, but I would tell her often. Even when she wasn't working, I said, "Betty, millions of people out there are still asking for you. You're getting your fan letters, I'm getting offers for you."'
Jeff always wanted Betty to know just how much people loved and admired her.
He told People: 'I don't know if she ever embraced it, [or] really, really felt it. The extent of it. I really don't.
'I would always reinforce it with her because I always felt she should know that. I never wanted her to think while she was sitting at home, that the world has passed her by. It never did.'
Jeff is also glad that Betty – who died at her home in Los Angeles on Friday – was able to achieve her life ambitions.
He added that her popularity went 'beyond love'.
He said: 'Betty lived a great life and she lived a life that she chose. She was happy.
'Every time I told her, "Betty, you're loved," she would look at me with a wry smile and say, "Really?" I hope she knew. I think she did. It was something beyond love.'

UCLA faculty voice: What we, as citizens, can do to fight genocide

United to End Genocide/FlickrUCLA's Aliza Luft says that increasing economic opportunity is a powerful weapon against violent oppression and could help the Rohingya being killed in Burma.
Aliza Luft
Aliza Luft is an assistant professor of sociology at UCLA. This column originally appeared in the Washington Post.
I was 10 when I learned that most of my family had been killed. My grandmother sat me on her lap, and in her Yiddish-inflected accent, she told me about her six siblings. All but one of them was murdered by Nazis, as were her parents. My grandfather and his sister survived the Holocaust, but the other four members of their family were killed as well.
Today, the Rohingya in Burma are being slaughtered by their government's military and police. One Rohingya woman described how her baby was torn from her arms and tossed into a fire. My grandmother saw the same at the Kolomyia ghetto in western Ukraine: Nazis grabbed a child, threw it against a wall, and fed it to their dogs.
We observe Holocaust Remembrance Day this year while yet another genocide unfolds — and we seek to motivate Washington to act. But how?
Armed humanitarian intervention — the use of military force to alleviate human suffering — is improbable. From a pragmatic perspective, the U.S. has poured trillions of dollars into its never-ending wars, and is said to be quietly preparing for war with North Korea; intervention in Burma, which is also known as Myanmar, is not likely a priority. Philosophically speaking, it is also difficult to justify war in order to end violence against others. Legally, the United Nations charter proclaims "the sovereign equality of all states," which also complicates intervention in Burma where the Rohingya are described as illegal immigrants and terrorists. And of course, there's the matter of history: As the lessons of Cambodia, Rwanda, and Darfur make clear, the United States has a track record of failure to intervene to stop genocide.
Fortunately, military intervention isn't the only tool. Citizens can pressure governments, companies, and global institutions to act in ways that mitigate genocide. To do so, however, we must understand some of the underlying elements that can lead to genocide and realize the levers we can pull to enact change.
My research suggests that state leaders can only go so far in implementing mass violence. Contrary to popular belief, most civilians aren't secretly harboring grudges against their neighbors and waiting for the moment when they can murder them. In fact, governments draw civilians into group violence through a variety of mechanisms, including poverty and the lack of resources to resist extremists who recruit them to become foot soldiers. This requires money.
Thus, one strategy for intervention is to even the economic playing field: to lower the capital of the génocidaires while increasing that of their potential recruits. Responses can include targeted financial measures such as asset freezes and economic divestment from major firms that help fund genocidal governments. Additionally, non-governmental relief efforts might focus not only on food, medicine, and housing for the displaced, but also on creating economic opportunities to reduce the potential for recruitment by genocidal authorities.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo — where more than six million civilians have died since 1996 and mass rape has been described as "a fact of life" — mining companies have signed contracts with warlords to gain access to mineral resources, and are thus financing violence. The Enough Project has tried to break this linkage by compelling giant tech companies to create conflict-free products. In turn, civilian activists have helped to both impede mining production in the country and weaken militias through the direct targeting of corporations that traffic in minerals and fuel violence. Without money to fund their fighters, the militias can't act.
Recently, a private alliance called the Myanmar Foreign Investment Tracking Project developed a database of 118 companies that invest or operate in Burma, and asked those companies to provide open records on their human rights commitments. Only 66 have responded so far, but the approach is commendable.
To deepen the link between investment or operations abroad and commitments to human rights, civilians can emply boycotts and social media campaigns to pressure these companies over their complicity in genocide. Research has shown that economic and reputational concerns can motivate a company to change its policies. It is time to mobilize on behalf of the Rohingya, and to target businesses whose taxes and revenue fund violence.
As an example, an investor coalition with more than $30 billion in assets has been pressuring Chevron to leverage its relationship with the Burmese government to promote change. As of now, the coalition represents only 6 percent of shares voted. Though the next meeting of Chevron investors isn't until May, the International Campaign for Rohingya has developed a "No Business With Genocide" tactic to target Chevron and other companies doing business with Burma. The hashtag #NoBusinessWithGenocide sounds pretty good to me.
It is shameful our government has repeatedly failed to respond to genocide. Yet this should not leave those of us who care about making "never again" a reality feeling hopeless. Rather, we must cease waiting for an unlikely intervention, and instead take the initiative ourselves. The lives of too many depend on it.

Stressed And Anxious? Your Gut Might Be Telling You Something
Posted by LifePharm Inc. on April 21, 2021
It has already been determined that the gut and the brain are closely connected. The interaction between the brain and the gut plays an important role in gastrointestinal functions, but it also affects your emotions and intuitive decision-making.
Think of the last time you were in a stressful situation—maybe you had stomach upset or loose bowels. You were in an emotional situation and your brain told your gut "something is not right." Recent neurobiological insights into this gut–brain crosstalk have revealed a complex, bidirectional (back and forth interactive) communication system.
This bidirectional crosstalk can influence the proper maintenance of gastrointestinal homeostasis and digestion, motivation and higher cognitive functions. Moreover, disturbances of this system have been implicated in a wide range of disorders, including functional and inflammatory gastrointestinal disorders, obesity and eating disorders.
How Your Organs Communicate With Your Body
Signals from organs in the body communicate to affect the body and its various functions, including:
Central Nervous System (CNS) - Controls most functions of the body and mind. It consists of two parts: the brain and the spinal cord, which is responsible for muscle movement, pain receptors, movement, etc.
Enteric Nervous System (ENS) - One of the main divisions of the nervous system, it includes the millions of nerve fibers embedded in the digestive tract and colon.
Endocrine System - Collection of glands that produce hormones and regulate metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, mood, etc.
Immune System - Made up of a network of cells, tissues and organs that work together to protect the body. Most important are white blood cells, and immune factors that combine to seek out and destroy disease-causing organisms or substances.
Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) - The part of the nervous system that regulates function of all organs, such as heart, lungs, kidney, bladder, etc.
Pituitary/Adrenal Axis - Our central stress response system. The pituitary gland and brain are interconnected by hormones.
Intestinal bacteria and their metabolites - Healthy microbes support the gut lining making the GI tract physiologically more healthy, which has a positive effect on the CNS. Conversely, harmful microbes are detrimental to the GI tract and produce toxins that negatively impact the CNS.
Through this back and forth communication network, signals from the brain can influence the motor, sensory and secretory functions of the gastrointestinal tract, and messages from the gastrointestinal tract can influence brain function.
Behavioral Disorders Linked to Gut Microbiota
There are various mood and nerve disorders that affect behavior, which can be characterized by impaired social interaction and communication. Emerging data has indicated a link between gut microbiome and behavioral disorders.
Studies are indicating that disruption of gut microbiota may promote the over-colonization of gut microbes that produce destructive nerve toxins contributing to bad mood and depression. Changes in gut microbiota or specific gut bacteria strains that exist within the gut of humans or animals have been implicated in certain neurological behavioral disorders.
Several studies in humans evaluating the gut microbiome illustrated a greater number of bacterial species from the Clostridium genus were present in fecal samples of young people with mood disorders.
Furthermore, gut microbiome-mediated metabolism may also have an impact on nerve behavioral conditions. When urinary and fecal samples were gathered from test subjects with neurological behavioral conditions, the microbes were very different from normal test subjects.
An Unhealthy Gut Can Affect Your Mood
Mild depression is a major form of mood disorder that results from neural psychiatric disturbance involving the nerves, or immunological dysfunction. Probiotic treatment has shown to help lessen depression in animals. Species of Lactobacillus bacteria, which produce lactic acid, have been particularly characterized as antidepressants.
Species of Bifidobacterium, which has been shown to increase when fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) are consumed as prebiotics, have also been shown to be potent antidepressants in some studies. Certain strains of Bifidobacterium were shown to alleviate depression in animals. Mechanisms involved include a reduction of inflammatory agents, regulation of tryptophan metabolism (the amino acid that turns into serotonin, the happy hormone) and CNS neurotransmitters.
Similar probiotics were shown to help alleviate mild depression, which often occurs after a heart attack. These probiotics helped improve post-heart attack depression through reduction of pro-inflammatory proteins, in addition to restoration of barrier integrity in the lining of the gastrointestinal tract. It has also been shown that a diet formulation containing high levels of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) was helpful towards alleviating depression.
A Health Gut Can Reduce Mild Anxiety And Stress
Mild anxiety and stress are common forms of mood disorders that result from alterations in the nervous, endocrine and immunological systems. Exposure to stressors such as chemical, biological or environmental stimuli can trigger stress and anxiety responses, which also involves activation of the pituitary system affecting the brain.
Conditions that involve anxiety and stress have been perceived in drastic and mild types of intestinal dysfunctions, underscoring the role of gut-brain signals such as neurotransmitters and immune factors.
Studies have shown that a normal and healthy gut microbiota affects nerves, nerve junctions, and increased serotonin (the happy hormone). Gut-associated infections or bacteria can exacerbate anxiety. In contrast, beneficial probiotics can help improve anxiety. Specific species of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium genera have shown sedative effects.
DIGESTIVE+++ Contains Good Microbes To Support Your Gut
The DIGESTIVE+++ formula consists of the Lactobacillus strain of the gut microbe called Bacillus Coagulans. The prebiotic blend has fructooligosaccharides and Jerusalem artichoke, which enhance the colonization of Bifidobacterium in the gut and colon. New research is suggesting that both of these strains of good microbes support the following: a happy disposition, improved mood and decreased anxiety.
DIGESTIVE+++ also contains a full range of digestive enzymes at all pH ranges to fully digest and assimilate the vitamins, minerals and cofactors from the foods we eat. It also helps break down fats and proteins to support their complete digestion and assimilation. Take one gel capsule with every meal to keep your GI tract healthy and support a happier mood and feeling of well-being!
