Photography—it's all about commitment, passion, and skill. Ever wondered what a day in the life of a professional photographer is like? Every week, we ask a 500px photographer to document a typical day at work, giving you an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at their shooting schedule and techniques in the field.
This week, we're spending the day with Prague-based landscape photographer Martin Rak. By day, he is an area manager for Marmot, an outdoor company. After hours, he takes his Canon EOS 5D Mark II to shoot the subjects he enjoys the most—moody landscapes from mountaintops to rivers.
It's rare to find a landscape image that can tell a powerful story, but Martin Rak has managed to deliver this consistently in his fairytale-like body of work. When it comes to capturing a blanket of fog rolling over the hills or the golden light of the sun setting over city rooftops or even a flower bathed in bokeh, we look to him for inspiration.
Aside from his photographs in full color, he is also not afraid to shoot in black and white with a minimalist style, creating atmosphere of stillness, heavy with mystery.
Perhaps it's because of his sharp curatorial eye or his natural skill in spotting and working with great light. Whatever it is, we can some find some answers and inspiration in the 24 hours of his life that he documents for us.
Scroll down, and see what it's like to be spend an autumn day in the life of a landscape photographer.
5 A.M. I wake up and check the latest weather forecast on my phone. It looks very promising, so I quickly pack my stuff, check if I have all my photo gear, and set off.
6 A.M. I am going up on a narrow trail in the Bohemian Switzerland National Park. It is still dark. I can see dozens of eyes, reflecting the light of my headlamp when I look deep into the forest.
6.45 A.M. I arrive at the viewpoint. It is on a sandstone cliff high above the valley. Everything below is covered with a blanket of fog, only treetops and hills are peeking through. It is late October, and it is freezing cold. I am setting up my tripod. I am looking for some great compositions.
7:30 A.M. Sunrise. The sun is slowly making its way up above the horizon and the first sun rays pierce through the mist. The golden light together with the colorful trees create such a wonderful performance. I am just releasing the shutter, while enjoying the beauty of a wonderful autumn morning.
9 A.M. The mist in the valley is almost gone, as the sun is getting higher. Having packed my gear, I just sit on the rock, have a snack, and enjoy the view.
10 A.M. It is a nice and sunny October day, so I've decided to scout the area and look for some new locations. Bohemian Switzerland is a beautiful national park in the northern part of the Czech Republic right on the border with Germany. There are so many valleys, gorges, and rock formations there. You could be exploring it for weeks, and still discover new views and unseen spots.
12 P.M. I am getting tired as I have been hiking almost all morning in a harsh terrain. I head back to my car. As I come back to the main hiking trail, there are already many hikers, and it is getting quite busy. Time to rest and time for lunch.
2 P.M. I am sitting in one of the local restaurants enjoying a cup of espresso after a great lunch. I check the latest weather forecast which looks good.
3 P.M. I have decided to go to the Carolafelsen viewpoint which is right across the border of the Saxon Switzerland-German part of the Elbe sandstone mountains. It is a 40-minute drive. On the way, I stop to check my favorite waterfalls, but there is almost no water, as there hasn't been much rain recently.
4 P.M. I park my car and head to the rocks.
5 P.M. I am setting up my gear at the viewpoint. The trees in front of me are colored in red and yellow. It was a fantastic autumn mood.
6 P.M. I am shooting the sunset. The wind is blowing pretty hard, so I have to hold my tripod because it almost fell over. I meet a fellow German photographer. We chat for a while, and when the sun is gone behind the horizon, we pack our gear and head back to the parking lot.
7 P.M. I am already in the car driving back home.
8 P.M. I stop at the gas station to grab some food and a cup of coffee.
9 P.M. I arrive home. I quickly check the images I took today on my computer. It seems there could be some keepers. All in all, it was a wonderful and successful day.

EECS Tech Talk: Towards Usable and Practical Image Privacy
Today image hosting platforms are a popular way to store and share images with family members and friends. However, such platforms typically have full access to images raising privacy concerns. In this talk we motivate the need for image privacy protection techniques that preserve certain visual features in images while hiding other information, to balance privacy and usability in the context of cloud-based image storage services. We will explore privacy schemes that use cryptographic, adversarial perturbation and semantic perturbation approaches and discuss their pros and cons.

Just write any title related to the topic of your work. Besides, you don't want the reading public or your potential editors to think you're unoriginal. Other Resources on How to Title a Book There are a lot of great resources out there that can help you with this process. As a general rule we do not censor any content on the site. Ultimately, this free tool will tell you the likelihood of your book becoming a based seller based on previous data. Currently there are no restrictions on foreign ownership of land in the United States, although sales of real estate by non-resident aliens are subject to certain special taxation rules.
Even modern day authors like Joanna Penn have. Then, do your homework on the title companies recommended. Loses a little something, right? This proclamation by reserved title in land to the Indians, subject to alienation only by the Crown. Not because all guidance is wrong, but because every author is different. Paramount title is the best title in available for the true owner. Basically, these words are proven marketing words that will increase engagement and drive better conversions.
To ensure that the title is valid, the title company will do a title search, which is a thorough examination of property records to make sure that the person or company claiming to own the property does, in fact, legally own the property and that no one else could claim full or partial ownership of the property. But the point is, subtle or large, there is empirical proof that book titles make a difference on your marketing and sales. Most, if not all of the states have merged the law and equity courts into a single court system, though there may still be law and chancery divisions in some of the systems. This title generator is great for creating academic essay titles. Make sure to also revise your title after you finish your paper.
One sounds commonplace; the other sounds impressive. The constitution of the United States forbids the tyrant by the United States, or any state of any title of nobility.

Kalamazoo Plank Road Was A Boon To Travelers, But A Bumpy Ride For Investors
By Sehvilla Mann • Apr 11, 2019
A wooden road is visible at the edge of this undated photo from the Allegan County Historical Society's plank road file. It was likely taken in Plainwell.

Dean Knuth noticed it years ago: a marker on Douglas Avenue in semirural Kalamazoo County, in the front yard of an old brick house near the Allegan County line. A metal plaque on a stone remembers the "old toll gate" on the road to Grand Rapids.
This wasn't just any toll road. It was a plank road - one of hundreds of wooden roadways built in the U.S. in the 19th century. The plank roads made travel quicker and easier (if not always safer), and yet they struggled to stay in business.
A report on the rise and fall of "Kalamazoo's Wonderful Washboard," the plank road.
According to the marker this toll, built in 1852, closed just 16 years later.
"I don't know why it got started and stopped when it did, and I've driven by it for years and haven't had a chance to ask the question," he said, standing just off Douglas Avenue on a rainy morning in March.
Dean also wonders about the old brick house behind the marker, and whether it played a role in plank road history. Before we answer that question, we head to the Allegan County Historical Society in downtown Allegan for some background on traveling in Southwest Michigan in middle of the nineteenth century.

"The road between Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo was a nightmare in those days," the Historical Society's Mark Lovett said.
He added that before the plank road, there was no direct route to Grand Rapids. And as on other unfinished roads, travelers would have faced dust, ruts and axle-swallowing mud. Lovett said people tried various improvements, starting with the boggy spots.
"They would throw in brush and logs and stuff and they would drive over that and then they refined that by doing what they called corduroy roads which were more just logs laid," he said.
Then people started edging the logs to make a smooth surface.
"But then the plank roads came along, then what they'd do is put a stringer on either side running parallel to each other and put the boards across it," he explained.
Voilà, a dry-ish, even road. Sounds great, but who's going to build it? Not the state, which regulated highways in the mid-1800s but did little to provide them, according to the Michigan History Center. It mostly fell to private companies to build Michigan's plank roads. That's why many of them had tolls - so their shareholders could hopefully earn a dividend.
Kalamazoo had two wooden roads. One went most of the way to Three Rivers. The other went from Kalamazoo to Grand Rapids. Completed in 1855, it cut travel time between the villages in half - from two days, to just one.
One of the stops on that road was on Douglas Avenue by a brick house. It's the site of the marker that caught Dean's eye.
"It's a very unique house," says Paul Sugas. He and his wife Penny live there now, and over the years they've put together a file of articles and historical documents on the toll road. Paul Sugas says the toll gate itself was impressive.
"It's described as a covered barn that went across the road, and it had a draw," he says.
"You had to stop and if someone wasn't tending it you had to walk up to the house."
The house was the official tollmaster's residence. "During the seasons of 1855 and 1856, A.P. Ware and his wife Anna kept the toll gate and sold tobacco, cigars and beer to wayfarers," according to one account in the Sugas' file.
Another view of a wooden road, also most likely in Plainwell (and possibly of the same house from a different angle and in a different year).
Things could get tense on the road. Dean reads from the recollections of a descendant of the Wares.
"Plank road etiquette required that the lighter load was supposed to leave the road and let the other one pass, which sometimes meant that they'd get stuck in the mud. So they occasionally would have some pretty contentious confrontations between people hauling things."
Dean wants to know why the Kalamazoo to Grand Rapids toll road didn't last longer.
First, it appears that the investors, like other plank road owners around the country, got swamped by the cost of keeping up the surface. Claims that the roads would last for years with few repairs turned out not to be true. Many only turned a profit for a few years. Then they became a financial burden for the companies that owned them.
Also, as Kalamazoo got more and more train service and the plank road became less essential, investors had another reason to abandon the tolls, which they did in the late 1860s.
The failure of the plank roads was tough on people like Epaphroditus Ransom of Kalamazoo County, the namesake of Ransom Street and Michigan's seventh governor. Lovett of the Allegan County Historical Society said Ransom was big on plank roads.
"He lost his shirt," Lovett said. "He was one of the biggest investors and when it went bottom-up, he went with it."
This led Dean to observe that "governors and road infrastructure in Michigan have been inextricably linked for over a century."
"Yeah," Lovett said. "They just kept telling him, 'Fix the damn road!'"
According to a 1950 history of the Kalamazoo plank roads by Kalamazoo College's Jack Porter, the toll could be suspended for riders on their way to a funeral, for church-goers on the Sabbath, for people who were traveling to appear in court and for those on their way to a military parade.
Some 19th-century toll roads suffered from "shunpikes," or illegal shortcut roads that bypassed the gates.
Humorist and novelist Mark Twain supposedly rode the plank road from Kalamazoo to Grand Rapids on his way to a lecture. He is said to have complained that the road would have been more comfortable to travel 'if some unconscionable scoundrel had not now and then dropped a plank across it.' Several sources share a version of this quote without a date or other documentation to verify it. However, according to steamboattimes.com, Twain toured several states including Michigan between November 1868 and March 1869. At the time, the Kalamazoo to Grand Rapids plank road was in bad shape, and the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad line from the south into Grand Rapids was not complete (and wouldn't be until the fall of 1870). Thus, it is plausible both that Twain took the plank road and that he complained about it.
why's that

WSW: Miniature Death Scenes Taught Detectives To "Find Truth In A Nutshell"
By Sehvilla Mann • Nov 18, 2018

Interpreting a crime scene takes skill. But in the 1940s, detectives didn't always get the training and practice they needed. They sometimes overlooked clues or destroyed evidence by accident. Pioneering forensic scientist Frances Glessner Lee sought to change that - using a craft that few of us associate with crime.

Q: HTML chart display issue - move the chart inside of the card I used the "Range Selector plugin" to create a line chart with the date selector.
The following codes are in my HTML file:

Area Chart

     <canvas id="chart"></canvas>

But my chart doesn't display properly. It is outside of the card:

Please advise what I should adjust to move the chart inside of the card

A: You need to move your #chartdiv element inside the area chart card body.  I have tried to do this with the HTML you supplied but it seems to be missing some CSS.  I've managed to get it working though:

var chart = am4core.create("chartdiv", am4charts.XYChart);
chart.paddingRight = 20;

var data = [];
var visits = 10;
for (var i = 1; i < 50000; i++) {
  visits += Math.round((Math.random() < 0.5 ? 1 : -1) * Math.random() * 10);
  data.push({
    date: new Date(2018, 0, i),
    value: visits
  });
}

chart.data = data;

var dateAxis = chart.xAxes.push(new am4charts.DateAxis());
dateAxis.renderer.grid.template.location = 0;
dateAxis.minZoomCount = 5;

dateAxis.groupData = true;
dateAxis.groupCount = 500;

var valueAxis = chart.yAxes.push(new am4charts.ValueAxis());

var series = chart.series.push(new am4charts.LineSeries());
series.dataFields.dateX = "date";
series.dataFields.valueY = "value";
series.tooltipText = "{valueY}";
series.tooltip.pointerOrientation = "vertical";
series.tooltip.background.fillOpacity = 0.5;

chart.cursor = new am4charts.XYCursor();
chart.cursor.xAxis = dateAxis;

var scrollbarX = new am4core.Scrollbar();
scrollbarX.marginBottom = 20;
chart.scrollbarX = scrollbarX;

var selector = new am4plugins_rangeSelector.DateAxisRangeSelector();
selector.container = document.getElementById("selectordiv");
selector.axis = dateAxis;
#chartdiv {
  height: 500px;

HISTORY OF CIACLA | mart gallery
The groundwork for CIACLA was established in 2011 when Matthew Nevin & Ciara Scanlan of MART Gallery & Studios Dublin Ireland began to curate exhibitions annually in Los Angeles. Curating 'Invite or Reject' an exhibition of artworks that focused on interaction and participation, working with ten Irish artists in C4 Gallery LA in 2011 as part of Culture Ireland's Imagine Ireland showcase.
The pair returned in 2015 with Instinct an eclectic exhibition of 17 artists across three venues; Santa Monica Art Studios, Hive Gallery and Los Angeles Center for Digital Art. In 2016 the MART curators kicked off Activating Pangea - a series of six exhibitions planned over three years in the city. First up was group exhibition showcasing four emerging visual artists in DAC Gallery and Downtown Artwalk LA and exhibiting two established Irish Artists working in new technologies in Voyage at CB1 Gallery.
2017 brought MART to LA for two large exhibitions, first to Arena 1 Gallery presenting Destroy These Walls which involved five artists working across sculpture, performance, new media and print. Returning later in the year to create a Pop Up Art Gallery as part of Irelandweek right on Hollywood Blvd, to present Re:In Force highlighting new work from four Irish artists.
In March 2018 the Acts to Objects exhibition at LACE Gallery presented eight Irish artists working in live art and sculpture, and most recently presenting three visual artists latest work in Transmission back at SMAS.
In 2019, following eight years of exhibitions and events by MART through local partnerships in Los Angeles, the pair alongside Director of Development Jennifer Minniti Shippey founded the non-profit CIACLA - Contemporary Irish Arts Center Los Angeles, as a Californian based arts organisation to manage future US programming.
With the help of Events Manager Jenn McGuirk and a wonderful team of volunteers and cultural advisors they programmed an exciting multidisciplinary summer of events held at a pop up gallery in Bergamot Station, Santa Monica. This program showcased a need for a dedicated Irish arts on the west coast of USA and was made possible with thanks to our new members and supporters, The MART Gallery & Studios, Culture Ireland, the Government of Ireland's Emigrant Support Programme and Santa Monica City.

How to use the Parallel Master Port in PIC18F87J11?
Has anybody ever used the Parallel Master Port function in PIC18F series? not Parallel Slave Port!
the slave. The constants used with this function are in the 18F87J11.h file.
Tell us what you want the Parallel Master Port to do in your project.
Unfortunately I think you will have to write to the configuration registers generally yourself. The way I do it above shows a good portable way to define the registers and use them. My memory was that the register numbers selected by the inbuilt functions was wrong when I was looking at them, and this was on a close 'relative' of your chip, and fairly close on compiler versions.
The 32 bit value is meant to be sent to the PMMODE register (upper 16bits), and PMCON (low 16bits), but when I tried it the values were going to completely the wrong registers.
Then calling this instead of setup_psp.
In fact, I can not understand well the define such as "#define PMP_ENABLED 0x02008000" in 18F87J11.h file. Why setting value as a word? hehe. No studying it carefully.
#byte PMDIN1H = 0xF67 // Is used for both input and output data in Master modes.
#byte PMDIN1L = 0xF66 // Is used for both input and output data in Master modes.
//#byte PMDIN2H = 0xF5F // Is used for buffering input data in select Slave modes.
//#byte PMDIN2L = 0xF5E // Is used for buffering input data in select Slave modes.
Why are the defines words? Because the register/SFR are used for is a word. They should be ored together in setup_pmp() as needed to select the desired functionality.
// Master mode 2 is Intel compatible, with CS, WR and RD lines. We are using this mode.
// We have separate data and address lines, hence NOT multiplexed.
This uses five address lines and a single chip enable. The 0x401f is the address mask for these five address lines, A0-4, and the CS, which gives the 40xx part.
I am a little confused by the reference to LEDs in your code, and also by your bit-banging of WR enable. The PMP is a full bus interface designed to interface with things like external memories, complex addressable peripheral devices (mine are GPIB and LAN ICs) and so on. It is not a latched LED driver. For that simple GPIO bits are all that's needed.
// This is for single byte reads at random addresses. For block reads, more efficient code is possible.
// set the high byte, that's fixed.
// Read the PMP data register, this initiates a read cycle, but doesn't give us the correct result.
// it actually give us the result of the last read, or even the last byte written!
// Wait for the cycle to finish.
About the LEDs I added in code: I only wanted to show whether I have controlled the data port successful - LEDs will blink a little if data write operation is right, (though data port can not be taken as a GPIO). Of course measuring the data port with a scope maybe better than LEDs.
About the WR enable: I added it compulsively in code after many times failure. hehe.
The 0x401f is the address mask for these five address lines, A0-4, and the CS, which gives the 40xx part.
the value "0x401F" is defined by yourself/CCS according to the chip manual?
When its correctly set up, which admittedly is tricky, it will automatically generate read and write cycles with all the necessary chip selects, read and write strobes etc, for multiplex and non-multiplexed busses. If correctly set up all you should need to do is set the address and then write to the data register, which triggers the write cycle. Reads are more "fun" as the peripheral is arranged mainly for block access, i.e. reading several words in sequence. Hence when you read the data register you get the result of the previous read and trigger a new one. Reading words on their own, i.e. true random access reads needs a little thought.
Thank you described them so detailed.
About "The 0x401f is the address mask for these five address lines, A0-4, and the CS, which gives the 40xx part. " the value "0x401F" is defined by yourself/CCS according to the chip manual?
The value is defined by the datasheet. It is the address mask that goes into PMAEN on the 24s and PMEH and PMEL on the 18F87J11 (the 18s have 8 bit registers, the 24s 16 bit registers). For the 18F87J11 look at pages 171 and 172. In my application there were five non-multiplexed address bits, A0-A4, that means the bottom five bits of the enable register have to be 1s, or 0x001F. You are using thirteen bits, so you need 0x01FF. The 4 in the top nibble of my application is to enable PMCS1, chip select one. Combine the two and for my app I got 0x401F, your probably need 0x41FF. The PMP will not control the other address bits, and they can be used for general IO.
With LEDs, the PMP does cycles so fast I don't think you'll see any visible blinking. An oscilloscope is the way to check its working.
You are a nibble short.
That's why I showed this value in my post higher up.
I studied the manual of 18s again as you said. It is just the value 0x1FFF if combine PMEH and PMEL.
If change the PMEH = 0x1F (13-bit address) and combine PMEH & PMEL, it is 0x1FFF.
Thank you for explaining it so carefully!
Removed the LEDs board and I measured the Data Port & Address Port(checking the pin level change one by one) with an oscilloscope.
Obviously, signals of data port and address port are changed according to the settings. Duty cycle of Address port is 50%, and the duty cycle of data port is very small -- data is a narrow pulse.
But unfortunately, I can not measure the change at PMWR/CS pin (it is always is '0') though I have changed the setting of PTWREN from '0' to '1'.
I will return to study the 18s manual much carefully again to find what causes no action at PTWR/CS pin.
First note how I used '#word'. This allows you to write to a 16bit register as a single 'entity'. Very useful for this sort of thing.
If you are dealing with registers that are fundamentally '8bit' entities, then use #byte. If you are dealing with 16bit registers use #word. The compiler locates the register at the location given, and the next location 'up', so by locating the word at the 'low' register address I get a 16bit register where wanted. Much easier.
Then the key place to look is DS-70299C. From MicroChip. This gives examples of the settings needed for several typical modes, and these are a great starting point. You are looking at 8bit data demultiplexed address?.
A look at the PMAEN register in the data sheet shows it stopping at bit 10.
So if you want an address this large you are going to have to 'think again'. Either accessing the chip as pages, with a fixed output for the extra bits, or doing some form of multiplexing.
In manual DS-70299C, it says "Up to 12 Programmable Address Lines",but this manual is used for "dsPIC33F/PIC24H FRM Section 35. Parallel Master port".
In Demultiplexed mode (PMCONH<4:3> = 00), data and address information are completely separated. Data bits are presented on PMD<7:0>, and address bits are presented on PMADDRH<7:0> and PMADDRL<7:0>.
I selected this mode here.
OF course for my "standby design scheme"(if PIC18F87J11 PMP function fails finally), I selected PIC24FJxxxGB108 FAMILY. In its manual(DS39897C) ,it says "Up to 16 Programmable Address Lines", "For more information, refer to the PIC24F Family Reference Manual",Section 13 - Parallel Master Port(PMP) (DS39713)". so if I select the chip PIC24FJ128GB108 for "standby design scheme", it will be OK.
TOOLS\Device Editor\Other Features\Par Port\PMP/PSP, then SAVE change.
You use the setup PSP function.
PCM_programmer pointed this out right at the start of the thread.
It's a problem of 'nomenclature'. Some chips have the 'slave only' peripheral, while others have a peripheral that can be set as master or slave. The function was originally introduced to handle the slave peripheral, and kept it's name.
the KEY issues in 18f67j11.h are: 1,Can not set the PMP address mode(0x1FFFF); 2, Use "INPUT_D(), OUTPUT_D()" for data operation; 3, Can not set address.
but I still worry there are some libraries/link ignored.
10 days ago I sent this issue by email to CCS support, but it is still the same answer as before: "The e-mail has been reviewed, however, an answer is not yet ready. A priority has not yet been determined for this issue."
I showed how to set the address mask earlier. Use the register direct access for this. It is much easier.


International commodity trader Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC) has committed to "eliminate deforestation" and UK supermarket Tesco has committed to "help achieve zero net deforestation" in their soy supply chains.
LDC plans to shift its policy for sourcing soy along the entire supply chain, particularly in the Amazon. It will also help protect land in the Cerrado biome, a savannah which covers about 25 percent of Brazil. Moving forward, the company will buy its supply from only soy producers that provide evidence that they have abided with the Brazilian Environmental Registry. The company's policy aims to "eliminate conversion of native vegetation in the Cerrado biome" with "a realistic target date to eliminate conversion from soybean supply chains in the Cerrado." These goals appear to include all conversion, not just illegal deforestation. It should be noted, though, LDC is currently much less exposed to deforestation in the Cerrado than its competitors Bunge and Cargill. Still, this is a strategic move by LDC that may influence others in its peer group.
Tesco is aiming to implement its "U.K. Zero Deforestation Soy Transition Plan" by 2025. To reach this goal, Tesco says that it will begin its transition this year and next, using credit schemes before moving onto mass balance certified soy by the end of 2020. Mass balance certified soy refers to a system that makes sure the amount of responsible soy that is sold is in "balance" with what is bought. And by 2025, although later than many other zero-deforestation commitments of 2020, Tesco plans to use soy from only supply areas that have verified that they are not undergoing deforestation for production purposes.
Tesco's latest plans come on the heels of similar actions to curb deforestation. The company, a member of the Consumer Goods Forum, has participated in industry engagement to support farm level certification programs, while also complying with the Amazon Soy Moratorium, a voluntary agreement to ban converting forests to soy production in the Amazon. Tesco has also taken steps to reduce deforestation with other commodities. For instance, in 2012, it nixed its contract with beef exporter JBS after reports surfaced that it sourced livestock on deforested area in the Amazon.
Some of Tesco's largest equity investors do screen their investments for deforestation risk, such as Norges Bank, the third largest shareholder (Figure 1 below).

LDC is a privately-held company, and as such, faces less scrutiny than publicly-traded companies. The companies' commitments add momentum to environmental and climate efforts in Latin America, particularly Brazil, where soy production has been a major driver of deforestation over the past two decades.


Drawing closely on Bulgakov's personal experiences of the horrors of civil war as a young doctor, "The White Guard" takes place in Kiev, 1918, a time of turmoil and suffocating uncertainty as the Bolsheviks, Socialists and Germans fight for control of the city. It tells the story of the Turbins, a once-wealthy Russian family, as they are forced to come to terms with revolution and a new regime.
I was advised by a Russian professor not to worry too much about how was fighting for what and why and just enjoy the writing and characterisation. Best advice I got, as once I stopped worrying about not knowing enough about Ukrainian politics around 1918, I adored this book.

Barcelona is a great city to travel with your baby. We took our daughter here on our first trip with her when she was 3 months old. We had such a great time it became the inspiration for Baby Can Travel. We hope you love your trip just as much as we did!
If you are visiting Barcelona to see the sights or visit the beach, your best bet will be to stay within the Gothic Quarter. This neighborhood has it all for travelling parents. The majority of Barcelona's attractions are within this area and can be easily reached by walking. In addition, there are tons of restaurants, amenities, pharmacies and grocery stores. One area within the Gothic Quarter to consider avoiding is La Rambla as it may be loud and the south end of the street is reputed to be a little rough at night.
If you are visiting Barcelona primarily for shopping, your best bet will be to stay in Eixample. This area features less tourist attractions, but is a little more upscale and is focused more on high-end shopping and restaurants.
Read this post for the best transportation options from the Barcelona airport to your hotel.
Renting an apartment can be an attractive option for parents with a baby. Apartments can often be found which have two bedrooms, a full kitchen and in-suite laundry facilities. To save you time, here are links to family friendly apartments on VRBO and Airbnb.

Melissa Etheridge was on hand to sing the national anthem for Game 7 of the World Series. Despite some signs of wear and tear in her voice, she gave a strong performance, providing a suitable kickoff for the final game of the season.
As planned, San Francisco went with Livan Hernandez as their Game 7 starter, while Anaheim sent rookie John Lackey to the mound. Ramon Ortiz developed tendinitis in his wrist following his Game 3 start, so the Angels were left with Lackey, again pitching on short rest after his Game 4 start, which followed the added recent stress of his relief work in Game 2.
However Lackey quickly dispelled many of the question marks that might have been in viewers' minds, as he efficiently retired the top three in the Giants lineup. In the bottom of the inning you could tell the momentum was still with Anaheim after the win the night before. While they didn't score in the first, the Angels were productive on the bases and weren't slowed by Hernandez.
Bonds hit a line drive directly to where David Eckstein was playing, a little right of second base due to the shift, though Eckstein had to jump slightly to catch it. Benito Santiago and J.T. Snow followed Bonds with singles. Santiago scored from third on a sac fly by Reggie Sanders, putting the Giants on the board as they attempted to gather some energy.
San Francisco's performance didn't faze Anaheim. The Angels promptly tied the game in the bottom of the inning. Scott Spiezio took a walk and scored on a hard-hit double to the outfield wall off Ben Molina's bat. Lackey brought any drive remaining in the Giants' offense to a halt in the top of the third, allowing Anaheim back to the plate to continue their rally.
Eckstein and Darin Erstad led off the inning with a singles to left. Hernandez then came in on Tim Salmon with a pitch that hit Salmon's top hand on the knuckles as he gripped the bat. After a few minutes of clutching the sore hand and a check-up from the trainers, Salmon remained in the game and trotted to first base. At that point, the Giants decided to start warming up some relievers in their pen, but Hernandez stayed in the game to pitch to Garret Anderson, who hit a double to the right field wall.
While Sanders was bending down to pick up the ball next to the fence, a fan reached over the wall and swatted him on the back with thunder sticks. Sanders wasn't really impeded by the act, but the fan was nonetheless severely out of line and should have been immediately removed from the park with a lot of fanfare. Although the person was reportedly moved later, we don't know if they were ejected.
Eckstein, Erstad, and Salmon all scored on the Anderson double. San Francisco ordered Hernandez to intentionally walk Troy Glaus and then brought in Chad Zerbe from the pen; he managed to retire the next three batters, holding the Angels lead to 4-1.
Up second in the fourth after a Kent strikeout, Bonds successfully reached base on a drive that Troy Glaus limited to a single by making a diving play to his left as he was playing over by second on the shift. Santiago singled into center, moving Bonds to second, but both runners were stranded when Snow and Sanders each flew out, ending the half-inning.
Kirk Rueter took over in the bottom of the fourth, and he made a strong case in the next few innings that he deserved the Game 7 start after Hernandez's postseason winning streak ended in Game Three. Over the next four innings, Rueter struck out three while allowing only one walk and one hit, a double by Molina. Kent helped him out of his one tight spot by making a diving catch of an Eckstein line drive to end the sixth inning with Molina stranded on third.
David Bell almost had a hit to lead off the fifth, but Erstad made a diving catch of his line drive, followed by a rather superfluous somersault. With that help, Lackey was able to complete the five innings Anaheim wanted from him before turning handing over the 4-1 lead to the bullpen.
Brendan Donnelly relieved Lackey in the sixth. While he effectively retired Kent on a groundout and Bonds on a weak infield popup, he then walked Santiago and allowed a double to Snow. However Dusty Baker pinch-hit for Sanders with Tom Goodwin, who struck out, ending the inning and stranding the runners. In the seventh, Donnelly dispatched the only three Giants to bat.
Francisco Rodriguez took over from Donnelly in the eighth, struck out Rich Aurilia and Kent, pitched around Bonds, and then struck out Santiago. San Francisco sent in Tim Worrell to pitch the bottom of the inning, and although Worrell attempted to compensate for his poor Game 6 performance with a one-two-three inning, the Giants were still down by three going into the top of the ninth.
Troy Percival took the mound to close out the game in the ninth. Following his pattern from previous playoff games, Percival allowed the game to grow a bit too interesting for the comfort of Angels' fans. Snow hit a lead off single, but he was forced out at second and replaced on the basepaths by Goodwin, who hit into the fielder's choice. Anaheim allowed Goodwin to take second and then walked Bell. The Giants then gave the Angels an out by pinch-hitting for Pedro Feliz with Tsuyoshi Shinjo, who struck out. We held our breath as Percival pitched to Lofton, who'd come up with big hits in earlier postseason games. However Lofton flew out harmlessly to Erstad in center.
The Angels won the World Series for the first time in their franchise history and every player on the team earned their first World Series ring.
Three-year-old Darren Baker cried in the Giants' clubhouse and for the moment Bonds stood away from the cameras. Of course, he's accused of behaving surly since the loss, but what do people expect? He just lost the World Series, an activity that doesn't usually elicit odes of joy. Bonds likely realizes that this season was probably his best shot at a ring, so I see no reason for him to be amiable now.
Troy Glaus took home the World Series MVP trophy, though he understandably seemed much more pleased with the team win. Glaus went 10-for-26 in the Series with three doubles and three homers. He had a 4:6 BB:K, 8 RBI, and scored seven runs. By comparison, Bonds went 8-for-17 with two doubles, four homers, and 6 RBI, walked 13 times with 3 strikeouts, and scored eight runs. While his performance was outstanding, the award rarely goes to a player on the losing team. Bonds also didn't help his case by packing most of his performance into the first half of the Series.
The game moved very quickly, finishing faster than every game in the Series excepting Game 4. Like Star Trek Movies, the even-numbered games of this Series offered the best stories. Game 7 didn't possess the necessary drama to make the 2002 World Series a truly standout fall classic. However, the game provided a suitable ending to a fairly strong season of baseball.

☕ About me
About me – Robert Clifton Storey Jr
Born in Detroit in the late fifties, I lived on the Eastside. While growing up in the Motor City, I loved to play games that relied on my imagination. I really enjoyed pretending to be a cowboy when I was very young. Westerns were big in those days, and I watched a lot of the Lone Ranger, Cheyenne, and Zoro. As I got a little older, I developed a fascination with space that bordered on obsession. The space race with the old Soviet Union was in full swing. I spent a lot of time pretending to be an astronaut. I enjoyed watching TV shows such as Lost in Space, Thunderbirds and Star Trek. All these televisions programs helped to fuel my budding creativity. Later, we migrated all the way over to the Westside of Detroit, where I spent my rebellious teenage years—it was a crazy and foggy time.
In high school, I found that I loved to write. I kept a notebook where I would experiment with small stories, a kind of doodling with words. Writing was a way to free my imagination and let it run wild. I thought books were the greatest invention ever made, and I still do. The first book that really affected me deeply was Flowers for Algernon. Later, I read the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings both of which started my love affair with the fantasy genre.
At twenty, I joined the service and was deployed aboard two aircraft carriers, the USS Enterprise and then later on the USS Coral Sea (Both of which are now decommissioned—man, do I feel old!). I voyaged to such wondrous places as the Philippines, South Korea, Singapore, Australia, and Hong Kong. I remember standing on the flight deck on a warm night, the sea breeze kissing my face, the Milky Way arcing above, and the dark waters of the Indian Ocean stretching out in all directions. It was an awesome experience and a great personal adventure. I read constantly and would write every night for hours as the ship rocked gently in the middle of the ocean. I was scribbling away on a book that could be considered a prequel to Flight of the Vessel.
I was determined to complete my college degree, so after leaving the service, I enrolled at Western Washington University whereI studied English, Literature, and several writing styles such as novel, short story, and playwriting. Sometimes the landscapes of the Western half of Washington State reminded me a bit of the landscapes one would find in a fantasy novel. It was an inspiring place for sure.
In search of better job opportunities, I left the cool, rainy fantasy lands of Washington State for the hot, muggy countryside of central South Carolina to help my family in their small businesses. And then a few years later, I moved on to the rolling hills of Virginia to work for a small newspaper in the Shenandoah Valley as the director of technology responsible for technology strategies. I decided to start a family, and I now have two wonderful sons. Wanting to polish my management skills, I went back to school to study business, earning a masters from a local college. Now I had a degree for each half of my brain.
While working, I did manage to write a little here and there, but not as much as I would have liked, finishing a movie script and some poems. One day, I received a pair of Bose headphones. So I put them on and began to write down some ideas for a new book that would carry on the story I wrote onboard ship…and thus began the Vision Dream Series.

Armand Dupuis est un homme politique français né aux Ageux (Oise) le  et mort le  à Paris  à 102 ans.

Biographie

Fils d'un homme politique local, Charles Dupuis (conseiller général de l'Oise), Armand Dupuis s'installe à Nointel en 1919, après sa démobilisation avec la Croix du Combattant et la Médaille militaire, où il exerce la profession de négociant en grain, puis de minotier.

En 1925, il est élu conseiller d'arrondissement et maire de Nointel. En 1928, il entre au Conseil général de l'Oise. Il conservera ces deux derniers mandats jusqu'en 1945.

Candidat "indépendant" aux législatives de 1928 dans la circonscription (« arrondissement ») de Clermont, il ne parvient pas à battre le député sortant modéré Désiré Bouteille.

En 1932, il rejoint le parti radical et, sous cette étiquette, est élu Député de l'Oise, et réélu en 1936, sous l'hégide du Front populaire.

Au sein de la Chambre, il développa une activité intense sur les questions agricoles, et notamment la question du blé et de la betterave, défendant des positions agrariennes et protectionnistes, en rapport avec les attentes de son électorat.

Il participa ainsi par le biais d'un rapport parlementaire, à la mise en place de l'Office nationale professionnel du blé.

En 1940, il ne participa pas au vote qui donna les pleins pouvoirs au Maréchal Pétain.

Bien que demeuré maire de Nointel pendant l'Occupation, il ne fut pas soupçonné de collaboration et, en 1944, fut même désigné à la Haute Cour de Justice par l'assemblée consultative.

En 1945, il ne se représenta pas aux élections cantonales et prit la tête de la liste radicale, qui n'eut aucun élu, aux élections législatives.

Élu maire de Sacy-le-Petit en 1947, il développa son activité politique dans la coordination des maires du département : fondateur et secrétaire général de l'Union des maires de l'Oise en 1947, président du syndicat des communes de l'Oise en 1952 et président de l'Union des maires de l'Oise en 1963.

Parallèlement, il fonda la mutuelle des employés communaux de l'Oise, en 1959.

Professionnellement, il continua de jouer un rôle important dans l'industrie du blé, puisqu'il fut pendant dix ans, à partir de 1947, président du syndicat national de la moyenne meunerie.

The AbbVie and Allergan deal: 'Two turkeys don't make an eagle'
Over the past couple of years, AbbVie (ABBV) executives have struggled to convince investors they had a long-term strategy for growth. Now, something resembling a plan has emerged: The drug maker agreed to pay $63 billion in cash and stock for Allergan (AGN), which has had even more difficulty appeasing critics over some of its own ill-fated moves that pummeled its stock and sapped confidence in management.
For AbbVie, the deal is designed to relieve pressure that is slowly mounting as 2023 nears — the year when generic competition will appear in the U.S. for its franchise product, the Humira rheumatoid arthritis treatment. Last year, Humira generated $13.7 billion in U.S. sales, 42% of revenue. The concern over timing cannot be underestimated, given its pipeline of forthcoming drugs has underwhelmed Wall Street.

Power Places: Best Cities Written Report Sample – Find Your Power Places!
Listed below are the best places in the geographic areas that you selected. The latitude and longitude of the place is also given. The latitude and longitude are helpful if you wish to confirm where the place is located. For example, there are several places in Panama with the name "San Miguel" and the latitude and longitude can be used to confirm the "San Miguel" referred to.
Scores for a place range from zero to 1,000. A score above 800 is extremely strong. These are places where you have a very strong ability to attract situations related to the category. Even scores above 500 are very strong. Because the very best places in the geographic regions selected are shown, there may be many places with scores above 500. All of these places are excellent. Of course, the higher the score, the better, but any score above 500 is excellent.
Scores of about 250 to 500 are also excellent even though a score that is higher than scores within this range is even better. Combine the astrological information with what you know about the place. For example, if you are looking for better employment and a place that has lots of opportunities in the profession in which you are qualified to work and wish to work has a score of 300, this is an excellent place for you. The astrological influences do not supercede the realities of the place. You can look at it like this: given the potential of that place to be suitable, the astrological score for that place will tell you how much of that potential you have easy access to.
Scores of around 50 to 150 are about average. You do not have an extra "boost" in these places but what you are also not likely to run into unexpected problems in regards to the area of interest. Scores below 50 are weak and you tend to have more difficulty achieving your goals in regards to the area of interest.
If your report has been produced for large geographic regions, then places with low scores are not given in the list of best places. If there are two or more places tied with the same lowest score on the list, all of these places are shown. For example, in a report with the top 100 places listed, all places with the same score as the hundredth place are also listed.

Civil rights organization issues legal statement on Contra Costa's requirement churches gather worshippers' information
June 9, 2020 By Publisher 1 Comment
May also challenge 12-person or 25% capacity limit for indoor services
Following is the statement from the Center for American Liberty's Founder Harmeet K. Dhillon concerning the Contra Costa Health Services Order No. HO-COVID19-17. (See related article)
"The Center for American Liberty was contacted recently regarding the June 5, 2020 Order issued from Contra Costa Health Services (Order No. HO-COVID19-17). This Order was concerning for several reasons and we intend to formally reach out to Contra Costa County with an analysis of our concerns.
The June 5, 2020 Order, as presently written, specifically singles out places of worship by requiring that places of worship in Contra Costa County create and preserve a list of persons in attendance, and then disclose such attendance list upon request to the government – a burden that is notably not placed on other establishments in Contra Costa County. Such burden is unconstitutional and is discriminatory on its face.
The California Constitution provides certain inalienable rights, including the right to privacy, to freely assemble, and to enjoy one's religion – Californians deserve to freely worship and assemble without fear that his or her name and address will end up in a government database. The Center for American Liberty welcomes any official change to this June 5, 2020 Order and will continue to be vigilant about any attempts to discriminate against houses of worship or people of faith in California.
Additionally, the June 5, 2020 Order currently limits houses of worship to a 12 person or 25% limit (whichever is fewer), which is arbitrary, and we will also be monitoring, and potentially challenging, this disparate burden on places of worship and people of faith in Contra Costa County."

Yes. Our country is not the same as China.
Not communism. Government cannot controls people but people select government by voting and supporting.
Do not trying anything like this.

Snake Davis is one of the music world's best kept secrets. He is a saxophonist of almost unparalleled gifts who has played with the best in the business through a career spanning three decades.
Yet it wasn't until he reached the age of 20 that he picked up his first saxophone. He enrolled on the diploma course in jazz and light music at Leeds College of Music funded by busking and gig money. It was here that he met and made many of his life long friends and gained the great experience of disciplined ensemble playing. The much loved "Snake Davis and his Alligator Shoes", the nine piece soul band were formed, playing 60's soul music with the sax taking the vocal parts.
After college, Snake spent several years travelling, playing on cruise boats briefly setting up home in Brooklyn getting tuition from hot players and visiting some of the best jazz clubs in America.
Back in England, he joined the soul revue band "Zoot and the Roots" started his long career as a session musician and first met Lisa Stansfield. The rest, as they say, is history.
To date, Snake Davis has recorded on more than 400 tracks for over 60 artists and the list keeps growing. That's not even counting all of the live performances! These are some of his career highlights to date:-
Sax Solo on cult television show "The Tube"
World Tour with Lisa Stansfield
"Tonight with Jonathon Ross"
1993 The start of his long association with M-People
Plays himself as band leader in "The Paradise Club" ITV series
Presents a Masterclass on Tyne tees, Granada and Yorkshire TV
World "Peace" tour with The Eurythmics
Saxophonist on Paul Hardcastle JazzMasters Series
First Solo album commercially available released – Snakebites
First of many tours with Japanese rock star Eikichi Yazawa

Klingande and Faul & Ad Wad used his sax riffs on three European chart hits, reaching number 1 in the dance charts in the summer of 2014.
Snake will be performing as part of the City of Culture in Hull in 2017
Snake plays soprano, alto, tenor and baritone Saxes, Shakuhachi, Flutes, Whistles and Vocals. He also composes and works as an educator, examiner and music director.
Classic Sax Solos Tour and more.....
The hugely popular Classic Sax Solos tour is now in it's third year and see's Snake Davis step into a 5 piece band (keys, drums, bass, guitar and vocals. We've taken on board suggestions from audiences's of additional tunes they'd like to hear and added more to the set list. If you've already seen the show, you'll see some of the favourites along with new songs.
So many people love the sound of a great saxophone solo and for good reason. In the right hands sax is so emotional, so passionate; it sings, screams, whispers.
An instrumental solo can break hearts, lift spirits, even change lives.
Snake performs a myriad of classics, including Baker Street, Careless Whisper, Still Crazy after all these Years, Respect, Yakety Yak, and his own solos from Million Love Songs, Moving on Up, Search for the Hero, and Lisa Stansfields "Change". What's more, he also tells you a bit more about them, fascinating facts and insights into the music we already love.
Imagine a room full of the saxophone greats; Junior Walker, King Curtis, Clarence Clemmons, Charlie Parker, Michael Brecker and more. Snake can deliver them all; challenging – yes, but he completely nails it. Sultry sax, searing sax, screaming sax, sexy sax, soulful sax, this show has it all.
Snake Davis on Saxes & Vocals, Gareth Moulton on Guitar & Vocals, Paul Birchall on Keys, Bryan Hargreaves on Drums & Simon Goulding on Bass
The Snake Davis Band
Snake is joined on stage by his band; Paul Birchall, keys, composer and lifelong friend, Simon Goulding, bass player extraordinaire with an impressive biography as long as your arm and Ali Thynne on drums, the most talented drummer to come out of Leeds College of Music to date (in our opinion) and the new kid on the block.
All are consummate musicians and clearly enjoy performing together. There is a great on stage rapport. This music doesn't fit into any bracket. In truth, it's real soul music. As Snake said "I believe that any music that moves you is soul music" You can expect to hear an exciting combination of old favourites as well as new material. This is not highbrow; it's genuine, emotional, soulful, feel good music.
Breathtaking skill, warm co-operation and witty anarchic banter. BoP3 invites its audience into a world of tenderness, virtuosity and human frailty. No drums. Just voice, saxophone and double bass.
BoP3's unique interpretations of evocative songs from Dylan to Dowland are spell-binding.
Helen Watson sings like an angel, and Snake Davis's saxophone has played a key role for a huge number of bands from M People to Eurythmics.
SnakeStrings
Finding a string quartet with the right sound and attitude for his ideas was hard, but finally Snake discovered 4 perfect players whose credentials included the Mercury nominated album "The Sea" by Corinne Bailey Rae and performances with some of the worlds finest conductors and soloists, with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, The Halle, Opera North, Sting, Martin Taylor, The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, The Pet Shop Boys and more.
SnakeStrings perform a mix of funky, classical, soulful and world music, all with a Snakey twist. Expect tunes ranging from "River Deep, Mountain High" and "A Little Respect" to self penned numbers such as "Sugar Loaf Mountain" and "Shiro Sunset" to classics from Albinoni, Faure and Bach.

Fein named director of CEST
Author: William G. Gilroy
Jeremy B. Fein, professor of civil engineering and geological sciences and director of the Environmental Molecular Science Institute at the University of Notre Dame, has been appointed director of the University's Center for Environmental Science and Technology (CEST). He replaces Patricia A. Maurice, professor of civil engineering and geological sciences, who had served as director since 2003.
A cooperative effort between Notre Dames Colleges of Engineering and Science, CEST fosters interdisciplinary environmental research and education by promoting the cutting-edge analytical technologies and providing the advanced instrumentation needed to address complex environmental issues.
The center offers a unique interdisciplinary environment that enhances research capabilities for faculty and students throughout the University,Fein said.Its main function is to provide a wealth of state-of-the-art analytical facilities that a single investigator could never manage or maintain on his or her own. In addition, we have extremely well-trained technicians who maintain the instruments and teach students and faculty how to use them.
CEST plays a crucial role in research projects that involve departments across the University, such as biological sciences, civil engineering and geological sciences, chemical and biomolecular engineering, chemistry and biochemistry, the Notre Dame Radiation Laboratory, and anthropology.
Fein's research encompasses geomicrobiology and aqueous environmental geochemistry. He uses experimental data to construct quantitative thermodynamic and kinetic models of mass transport in bacteria-water-rock systems, which are used to quantify heavy metal and radionuclide mobilities in systems of geologic and environmental interest, such as contaminated groundwater aquifers and oil-field reserves.
Fein earned a doctorate in geochemistry from Northwestern University in 1989, a masters degree, also in geochemistry from Northwestern, in 1986, and a bachelors degree in geophysical sciences from the University of Chicago in 1983.
Prior to joining the Notre Dame faculty in 1996, he served as an assistant professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at McGill University in Montreal.


Most homeowners never realize they have a problem until it is too late. Inspecting your foundation walls and floor at least once a year can help you keep a small issue from turning into a large problem. Look for changes in the foundation. Signs of leaks or seepage, cracks that may seem to be "growing", or "dissappearing soil" are often a clue that further investigation may be needed. Correcting an issue early can save sometimes thousands of dollars.
Your sump pump is the most important part of your basement drainage system. Without a working sump pump you are at risk for water infiltration that can cause damage and create very serious problems. It is important to check your sump pump to make sure it is working properly and free from corrosion or mineral buildup. It is also important to check your sump pit for debris. We could tell you story after story of how sump pumps stopped working due to toys, balls, woodworking scraps and other debris that caused the sump pump switch to fail, resulting in several inches in the basement.
Take a walk around your home and check your landscaping and the ground surrounding your home. It is important to try to maintain a slope away from your foundation to allow water to drain away from the foundation walls. This is also a good time to check your gutter downspouts. Your gutter downspouts should at a minimum be discharging water at least 5' away from your home. Make sure the lateral lines are not disconnected, crushed or full of debis. If your gutter downspouts go into an underground system, it is important that the pipes are fitted properly and draining into the underground line.


Metalizer Aerosols are an awesome way to add a sparkly, metallic effect to smaller Do-It-Yourself projects. Metalizers are a glossy clear infused with metallic flakes to take standard Plasti Dip Colors to the next level.
Plasti Dip Metalizers must be applied over a solid base (minimum 6 coats) of Plasti Dip, they are not a stand-alone product. The more coats of Metalizer you apply, the more of a metallic effect will be produced. A couple quick coats for a light sparkle, or multiple wet coats for a full metallic finish.
Temperature guidelines: Ideal temps for application range from 30F - 95F. In any climate, warming your cans in warm water prior to application dramatically helps achieve a smoother finish.

A well-designed detox protocol is a great way to help reset eating habits and nutritional status to boost metabolism, improve your energy levels and support your overall health. Whether your goal is to lose weight, improve energy or adopt healthier eating habits, our D.TOX℠ kit and program can help!
The D.TOX kit provides the key nutrients involved in overall organ function to help your body cleanse, reset its metabolism and eliminate toxins. And our unique program guides you to eat fresh, clean food in addition to your supplements. This way, you can fulfill your nutritional needs while cleansing your body.
Interested in more support? We offer a virtual D.TOX program that guides you through how to detox the right way – sign up here!
We recommend speaking with a Nutrition Coach before starting the program. The D.TOX program and materials are for educational use only and should not be considered or used as a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Responses to the D.TOX program and elimination of potential toxins will vary based on individual characteristics. Participants should seek the advice of a physician or other qualified health care provider with any questions regarding personal health or medical conditions or before beginning any new exercise or nutritional program.
Toxins are fat-loving, which means they seek out fat cells in which to reside. This is a common reason people struggle with losing weight: more body fat often means a higher toxin load. The body to some degree will resist losing fat to protect itself against the freeing of these poisons. When we lose weight, the toxins are released from our fat into our bloodstream and when we jump into a quick and/or extreme weight loss program (>2 pounds weight loss per week), we in essence "dump" the toxins into our blood very quickly, leaving our detoxification processes overwhelmed. The effect can leave us feeling pretty miserable.
Have you ever noticed the skin of someone who just completed a detox program? Their skin appears smooth and actually "glows." The skin is our largest organ, and it acts as a second kidney, removing toxins through sweat. When you further support your skin through sauna, hydrotherapy (cycling between hot and cold water in the shower) and skin brushing, it's amazing how clear and radiant your skin can become!
Detoxification programs support sleep by eliminating toxic substances that actually keep you awake, such as caffeine, sugar, tobacco and alcohol. Although alcohol acts as an initial sedative and helps you fall asleep, it will wake you up immediately once it wears off a couple hours later.
Detoxification programs boost energy by focusing on what you eat and drink and encouraging only healthy, clean sources of nourishment and hydration. Your body uses the food you give it as fuel. Additionally, detoxification programs emphasize drinking enough filtered water. By properly hydrating, the body has an easier time transporting oxygen and nutrients – and therefore energy – through a well-hydrated blood system to the cells that require them for optimum functioning.
Whether you suffer from constipation, bloating, gas, heartburn, or abdominal pain, a detoxification program can help. First off, the intestinal tract has initial contact with the majority of toxins entering our bodies through food, beverages and medications. It actually provides a physical barrier of entry for toxins into the body - but only if our digestive system is healthy. The second way detoxification programs can improve digestive function is by removing food culprits that tend to cause inflammation (and, therefore, the above digestive complaints) in the body: gluten, cow dairy, eggs, soy, peanut, corn and sugar.
Many of our D.TOX participants rave about their improved digestive function after the 14-day program.
There's a direct connection between digestive and cognitive health. You may have heard it called the "gut-brain axis." An inflamed gut contributes to an inflamed brain, affecting both systems' functioning.
Once you improve your digestive function, as explained above, you tend to notice your mind getting clearer, more focused and your mood more stable. It's amazing to me how we can truly live better when we live more healthily.
