The new and improved Zenergize was formulated to support focus, motivation, mood, memory and cognitive performance.
The hectic demands of modern life often lead to exhaustion. As a result, many people turn to energy supplements which can often cause nervousness, jitters and a severe crash in the evening. Some energy drinks may also contain artificial sweeteners or other chemicals.
Cognitive performance shouldn't have to come at the expense of health and serenity.
Not only does the new Zenergize promote autonomic arousal, it now contains additional key ingredients for supporting dopamine levels and the functioning of dopaminergic pathways. It also includes new components for promoting cognitive enhancement, memory support and increased neuroplasticity.*
Autonomic arousal is often associated with stress, but healthy levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine are conducive to sustaining attention. Zenergize was formulated with consideration given to mitigating the potentially unwanted physical effects associated with autonomic arousal.*
Dopamine is the neurotransmitter associated with reward and motivation. Zenergize provides unparalleled dopamine support to help you to wake up feeling invigorated, alive, razor-sharp, and relishing the day ahead.
Zenergize contains eleven high-quality ingredients, three of which are adaptogenic herbs, namely Panax Ginseng, Rhodiola Rosea and Guarana. Panax ginseng and Rhodiola have been used for thousands of years in China and India, while guarana has long been used by the indigenous tribes of the Amazon rainforest.
Research indicates that adaptogens, as the name suggests, can help our bodies adapt to stress and regulate homeostasis.* Although adaptogens have long been hailed for their balancing properties, scientific light is only recently being shed on their astounding effects.
DL-Phenylalanine and L-Tyrosine together provide comprehensive dopamine support, combined with caffeine, guarana, ginseng, and B vitamins to promote norepinephrine synthesis and release. In addition, we added L-theanine to help balance autonomic arousal with calmness. L-theanine is a soothing ingredient found abundantly in green tea.
Finally, Zenergize now contains additional nootropics to enhance brain function, learning and memory.
Citicoline is a compound naturally produced by the body as a precursor to critical plasma membrane phospholipids. Citicoline also serves as a choline donor for the synthesis of the key parasympathetic neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is vital for learning and memory formation. In addition, scientific research has proven citicoline to have neuroprotective properties and to encourage endogenous neurorepair.
Citicoline has been shown to promote arousal, attention, learning and memory formation. It's also one of few compounds proven to support neuroplasticity. Remember when you were a child, how you could learn completely new subjects in a short time? That's because the mind of a child is what's referred to as "plastic." Neuroplasticity is a remarkable feature of the nervous system. In fact, it's the defining feature of the nervous system — its ability to change itself in response to experience. Everything that you know, everything you can do, and everything that you'll ever be able to do, is bound only by the limits of neuroplasticity. Children have an abundance of the neurochemicals needed to form new neural pathways. However, as we age, our brains lose plasticity. As an adult, achieving neuroplasticity is possible, but it requires the release of neurochemicals associated with focus, engagement, and a strong sense of urgency. Citicoline has been proven to potentiate neuroplasticity.* Healthy adults frequently utilise it to improve focus and attention. Randomised placebo-controlled trials have shown it to enhance cognitive inhibition, attentional performance, accuracy, and impulsivity.*
Uridine is another one of the new Zenergize ingredients. Uridine is one of the five standard nucleosides that comprise nucleic acids – the biopolymers that form all human life. Pyrimidine nucleosides such as uridine help to maintain mitochondrial function, catecholamine-synthesis, and glutamatergic transmission. Uridine is a precursor to phosphatidylcholine, a choline source used to produce acetylcholine. As previously mentioned, acetylcholine is vital for learning, memory formation and neuroplasticity. Several studies have observed that uridine supplementation improves memory function and learning ability and positively affects mood and well-being. There is also some evidence suggesting uridine can slow brain atrophy and improve measures of cognitive decline associated with ageing.
Finally, the new and improved Zenergize also contains DL-phenylalanine, also known as DLPA. DL-phenylalanine is used to support mood, energy, stress resistance and maintain healthy non-malignant pain management. In addition, DL-phenylalanine is a precursor to tyrosine, which is a precursor for adrenaline, noradrenaline, and dopamine.
Further details on the Zenergize formula can be found on the scientific research page.
Citicoline is chemically identical to CDP-choline, a compound naturally produced by the body as a precursor to critical plasma membrane phospholipids. Citicoline also serves as a choline donor for the synthesis of the key parasympathetic neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is crucial for learning and memory formation. Scientific research has proven citicoline to have neuroprotective properties and to be effective at encouraging endogenous neurorepair.* It has been proven efficacious for supporting memory, encouraging brain recovery, and promoting improved vision.*
Uridine is one of the five standard nucleosides that make up nucleic acids – the biopolymers that form all human life. Pyrimidine nucleosides such as uridine are paramount for mitochondrial function, catecholamine-synthesis, and glutamatergic transmission in the brain, evidencing the importance of uridine for cognitive health. Uridine also acts as a precursor to brain phosphatidylcholine, a major source of choline in the production of acetylcholine. Several studies have observed that uridine supplementation improves memory function and learning ability and positively affects mood and well-being.* There is also some evidence suggesting uridine can slow brain atrophy and improve measures of cognitive decline associated with ageing.*
DL-Phenylalanine
DL-phenylalanine, also known as DLPA, is a racemic mixture of the essential amino acid L-phenylalanine and its pharmacologically active enantiomer D-phenylalanine. The body cannot produce L-phenylalanine, but it's a critical amino acid. DLPA supplementation has been used to support mood, attention, pain management.* DLPA has been shown to be effective at supporting stress resistance and energy levels.* In the human body, phenylalanine-hydroxylase converts phenylalanine to tyrosine, a precursor for the critical neurotransmitters adrenaline, noradrenaline, and dopamine. DLPA has been administered to support mood in individuals with low noradrenaline.* Supplementation has also shown phenylalanine to contribute to cognitive improvement, though the mechanism is not yet completely understood in humans. In healthy adults, DL-Phenylalanine has been shown to improve concentration, focus, and motivation, alongside maintaining a good mood and promoting calmness.*
L-Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid that is metabolised to make dopamine. Dopamine is thought to be associated with motivation, reward and pleasurable feelings.*
The original Zenergize contained extended-release caffeine, but some customers complained that it interfered with sleep if taken after lunchtime. Therefore, we took your feedback on board and switched the time-release caffeine for rapid-acting, ensuring it provides you with an additional boost earlier in the day. Caffeine works by binding to adenosine, a compound that is thought to regulate the sleep cycle.* Studies have found that caffeine may support cognitive function and feelings of mental alertness, mood, and arousal.*
L-theanine is a compound found in green tea, black tea and some mushrooms. Some studies have suggested it may help to support calm energy, mitigating the physical arousal associated with caffeine.*
Panax ginseng is an adaptogenic root native to the mountains of Eastern Asia. It is claimed to have been used traditionally for thousands of years to promote energy and support resistance to stress.*
Rhodiola is an adaptogenic herb, hailing from cold mountainous regions throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Studies have suggested it may help to support resistance to stress.*
Guarana is a natural caffeine-rich fruit resembling an eyeball, indigenous to the Amazon basin. Native Amazonian tribes have reportedly used guarana to support wakefulness, as well as for its alleged aphrodisiac qualities.* A 17th century Jesuit missionary is said to have noted that guarana gave members of an Amazon tribe "so much energy, that when hunting, they could go from one day to the next without feeling hungry."*

Pension hungry politicians by Tony Ademiluyi
Otto Von Bismarck, the former German Chancellor bequeathed the legacy of pensions for civil servants in the then German empire. He was worried that many German civil servants were retiring into poverty as a result of inflation and the vagaries of day to day living in the empire. A pension plan was necessary to act as a buffer for hardship in old age. This legacy spread around the world and its one of the attractive benefits of being a civil servant anywhere in the world.
Nigerian civil servants have always been receiving the short end of the stick since time immemorial. Whether it was during the military or civilian regimes, civil servants have never known economic peace after their retirement whether voluntary or forced. Many have been turned into mendicants who are worse than their professional counterparts. The sight of them begging for government attention in the twilight of their lives sends goose pimples to many members of the public. It is one reason why many current civil servants are corrupt as corruption is about the only route to prevent hunger and lack after retirement.
The avaricious and greedy political class for no justifiable reason got attracted to the idea of a pension plan after leaving office to the detriment of the hapless citizenry.
It first started in 2007 in Lagos — 'the centre of excellence.' The Lagos State House of Assembly passed a law giving the Governor and Deputy a hefty pension for life. It included a house in Lagos and Abuja, the changing of cars and domestic aides as well as medical expenses in any part of the world.
This sounded too good to be true coming from the former capital of Nigeria. Like a virus, it spread to some other states of the country like Rivers, Akwaibom, Kwara amongst many others.
The legislators must have felt used as they passed the law they weren't benefitting from. What is sauce for the goose should equally be sauce for the gander.
The Bayelsa state House of Assembly fired the first salvo by sending a bill to Governor Seriake Dickson to give members present and past including Bayelsan members who served in the Old Rivers State House of Assembly a pension for life. Dickson is yet to assent to it. The Speaker would receive 500,000 naira monthly while the Deputy gets 200,000 naira. Members get 100,000 naira monthly.
Ekiti State fondly known as the 'Fountain of Knowledge' followed suit by sending a similar bill to Governor Kayode Fayemi for assent.
The nation is currently battling infrastructural deficits amidst a plethora of challenges plaguing the states. Ekiti has been finding it extremely challenging paying salaries to their civil servants and the only thing these legislators can think about is their personal interests and furthering their nests. So many states are currently insolvent and the only thing these so called 'public servants' can think about is in implementing anti-people policies to the detriment of those they purport to 'serve.' The level of unemployment is heart wrenching and the poverty is excruciating. It is tragic that the only thing on the minds of these shameless law makers is on how to use the instrumentality of the law to impoverish the man on the clapham omnibus.
What is the rationale of a member of the executive or legislator who in some cases only serves for four years and within that time must have amassed a fortune still going ahead to have a pension plan? It is extremely satanic and cruel to say the least?
Politics is the most lucrative business in Nigeria which explains why the stakes are so high as it's an instant life changer. People are willing to kill and maim for it as its about the only trade in the country that is more profitable than winning a mega jackpot. In advanced countries, politics is seen as an instrument of service and is far from mouth watering. Tony Blair started making his millions after he stepped down as Prime Minister in 2007 after being in politics for twenty-four years. Bill Clinton couldn't afford a house after close to three decades in American politics. His lucrative speaking career kicked off after he left the White House. Nelson Mandela only did one term of five years as President of the Rainbow and never demanded for a pension as compensation for his 27 year stay in Robben Island which his compatriots would gladly have obliged him as his case was a locus classicus in public service. Heroes like Julius Nyerere, Lee Kuan Yew, Mahathir Mohammed etc never asked for pensions despite their gargantuan contributions to nation building. In Nigeria, some councilors can afford houses in Ikoyi or Lekki after serving for just a term of three or four years. How sad!
The legislators in Bayelsa state think that the oil wealth will last forever forgetting that most nations of the world are moving away from oil. The demand for Nigeria's oil in the global market has dropped tremendously. Latest reports show that the United States demand for our oil has dipped by 89%. This feeling of entitlement would cease when in fifty years time, the nation would be left behind as electric cars may be the next big thing. Saudi Arabia, one of the largest oil producers has already set up a fund to plan for a post oil economy. The CEO of Royal Dutch Shell drives an electric car to show that the nation is sitting on a time bomb with its sole dependence on oil.
It is a shame that the so called Fountain of Knowledge state which is ironically one of the nation's poorest is steeped in this mess. The world has long moved to human capital development. Think critically — Facebook is the largest social media conglomerate in the world and they produce no content, Uber is the biggest taxi service and they own no taxis, Air Bnb is the world's largest hospitality group and they own no taxis or cabs. A lean economy is what the world is gradually shifting into. One would have thought that Ekiti with the highest number of Professors and Doctorate Degree Holders in the country would have developed blue prints for the nation's economic development. It's sad that the only thing preoccupying the minds of these law makers is on how to grow emergency pot bellies and further impoverish the electorate.
These obnoxious bills must be vetoed by the respective state governors. If it is signed into law by a two-thirds majority of the state houses of assembly, there should be mass protests and the recalling of the law makers who voted in favour of the sinister bill.
The madness in the polity must cease!

With an ever-increasing number of security breaches happening worldwide, we've pulled together a bullet pointed list of the challenges and potential issues that can arise from not out-sourcing your confidential waste.
Ø Office shredders (strip shredders) – Despite commonly located in offices, these shredders do not provide secure document destruction. Office shredders often shred vertically, as opposed to "cross shred", making a business's confidential data easy to reassemble and access.
Ø In some cases, office shredders fail under the demands of an office environment, leaving confidential information intact, and sometimes just being dumped next to the shredder. Due to the open expose this automatically increases the risk of your confidential waste being manipulated with.
Ø Office shredders cannot shred tougher materials such as staples, binders, paperclips, CDs, and more. This will require extra manual labour and time to remove.
Ø Shredding paperwork is a time consuming process, detracting employees away from other, more productive work-related tasks.
Ø Simply shredding your documents doesn't actually make your business legally compliant i.e. in the event of a suspected breach. A Certificate of Destruction from a reputable shredding provider, like Printwaste, is mandatory to demonstrate proof of destruction.
Ø According to the Ponemon Institute, in 2015, the cost of a data breach was £104 per compromised record (9% increase), with an overall cost averaging £2.37 million.
Ø Organisations face expensive legal fees, fines of up to £500,000 for a serious breach of the Data Protection Act.
Ø Intangible implications contribute towards financial damage to your business i.e. the company's reputation, negative media coverage, and loss of customers, etc. To get a grasp of the financial impact, The Ponemon Institute 2015 Cost of a Data Breach study found that an average data breach resulted in £1.07 million of lost business.
Ø The initial cost of a high quality in-house shredder can be expensive, especially if you want to enjoy a hassle-free and low maintenance machine.Using a paper shredding service means that you only have to pay when you need paper shredding and you won't have any of the overhead costs associated with employing admin staff or buying and maintaining the equipment you require.
For information regarding the Printwaste shredding service, get in touch here.

People Urge Senators To Develop Bipartisan Redistricting Plans

Plan for redistricting the Executive Council by Sen. Donna Soucy, D-Manchester
By GARRY RAYNO, InDepthNH.org
CONCORD — People told Senators Monday to go back to the drawing board and construct fair and transparent redistricting maps not driven by party politics.
The Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs Committee held a public hearing on four proposals to redraw the political boundaries of the state Senate and Executive Council districts, two from Republicans and two from Democrats.
Most of the people testifying asked the senators to reject the Republican plans to redraw the state Senate districts and Executive Council district, saying they made the current gerrymandered districts worse.
No one testified in favor of either Republican plan.
Others told the committee, the people of the state are watching at a time when lawmakers need to instill trust and confidence in the political process and gerrymandered districts undermine that.
"If you support clearly gerrymandered maps," said Ellen Farnum of Tamworth, "you run the risk of losing credibility with voters."
Others referred to a resolution many towns passed last spring calling for a fair and transparent process to redraw the political districts, and others noted despite public hearings in all 10 counties, the maps did little to address the suggestions and recommendations citizens made.
Olivia Zink of Franklin, and the executive director for Open Democracy Action, opposed all the amendments proposed by both parties.
"I do not wish to see a Republican plan and a Democratic plan," Zink said, "I want to see one plan that is good for the voters of New Hampshire."
Many people took aim at the proposal to retain the five council districts as they are including District 2, which stretches from the western to eastern border of the state and packs many Democratic strongholds like Keene, Concord, Dover, Durham and Somersworth. A revised plan is likely to be presented by Republicans.
The second district is often cited as an example of gerrymandering and several testifying noted Gov. Chris Sununu singled it out as an example for what would be unacceptable to him.
Liz Tentarelli, president of the League of Women Voters NH, said her organization has been pushing for a fair, transparent and open process without gerrymandering and brought up the executive council plan.
"This map is just as obviously gerrymandered now as was when it was proposed and adopted in 2011," she told the committee.
She said the redistricting process needs to be completed by June for the new districts to be in place for the 2022 election, and if they approve a map with the current district 2, the governor could veto it, delaying the filing period, or it could be challenged in court also delaying the process.
"These are all open questions," she told the committee.
A number of people testifying preferred the districts drawn by the Mapathon project which used communities of interest such as shared high schools, emergency services and water and sewer systems in developing senate districts.
The group also tried to create as many competitive districts as possible, which a number of people said produce better candidates and fewer on the extremes of either party.
And said David Andrews, the lead mapper for the organization, the districts should be compact and not stretch from Bedford to Hinsdale as the Republicans' proposed district 9 does.
"I am very disappointed with the fact you have a Democratic proposal and a Republican proposal," Andrews said, "when you should be working together on something you can be proud of and the voters can be proud of."
He said redistricting is a foundation of democracy, and should reflect the makeup of registered voters of the state, while gerrymandering does not allow the best candidates to rise to the top.
"With gerrymandering, the primary is the real election," Andrews said, "and there is no bipartisanship in the State House and that is not good for New Hampshire voters nor anyone."
The Republicans senate plan would provide 15 or 16 safe seats for their party and eight seats that would be filled by Democrats, while the Democratic plan would result in a 13-11 split leaning Republican with more competitive districts.
While many people were not happy with either plan, most said they could support the Democratic proposal for the Senate, but not the Republican one, although they noted both favor incumbents.
Many wanted the senators to approve bipartisan plans.
"I have an eight-year-old daughter," said Michael Strand of Bedford, "and I believe democracy is imperiled right now."
He questioned why some of the proposed changes by Republicans were made and noted many of the changes would create less competitive districts.
Strand noted Republicans have said one of their prerogatives is to combine politically-minded towns. He called that a poor attempt to justify a gerrymandering process.
"I was raised a Republican, the party of free markets, fair competition and may the best person get job, and I still believe those value, but now I'm a Democrat," Strand said. "I ask when did Republicans get so scared of competition?"
The committee will continue to accept new proposals for redrawing state senate and executive council districts and is scheduled to meet again Wednesday and then Jan. 20 and may vote on the proposals on one of those days.
Lucas Meyer of Forward 603, asked the committee to hold an evening public hearing to allow young people and others who work during the day to testify on the plans.
Committee Chair Sen. James Gray, R-Rochester, said he would discuss that with the committee.

Enjoy a mule kicker on the roof of Acme Feed & Seed.
Each time we've come to Nashville we've gone to Acme: get the frozen mule kicker and the pulled pork nachos or pulled pork tacos with street corn! You will not be disappointed. Plus they have three levels of music & dancing, plus a rooftop bar. This Saturday was raining but we still hung out for 2+ hours on the roof throwing back our favorite Mule Kickers.
Sing & dance the night away at Ole Red.
This is Blake Shelton's bar on Broadway and it just re-opened after being closed for quite some time for renovations. The bar is named Ole Red after Blake Shelton's most popular song. The bar is ideal for listening to music & dancing since the stage is smack dab in the middle of the bar. There is also a second floor with a balcony that overlooks the stage— so you can listen to the music on both levels. This past Saturday they had two amazing artists— Cort Carpenter and Nick Alligood... both of which I honestly believe are on their way to a radio station near you. You just wait.
Order the "Bonuts" at Biscuit Love.
This is one of those places that seems to make every Nashville Must-Do list, but for good reasons. Their fried biscuits with blueberry jam & marscarpone cheese are amazing!! Anthony also got the Eggs Benedict, which was also pretty delish. The vibe is very laidback and the restaurant is set up as fast casual so you stand in line to order & then find a seat— this is a great setup because it keeps the line moving. PS get here early if you're coming for brunch, the line can get pretty long. Luckily they now have three locations: Hillsboro Village, The Gulch and Franklin. We've been to both Hillsboro and the Gulch. I personally would recommend Hillsboro!
Take a Pedal Tour up and down Broadway.
For your first time in Nashville, you absolutely should do a pedal tour. The biking itself is not difficult as one might think and it's so fun to meet other people, drink & get to see all of Broadway. The popular "Pedal Tavern" was sold out when we went, so we opted for the "Country Music Crawlers" tour. We had such a blast singing, dancing, and drinking up and down Broadway. Our tour consisted of a Bachelorette party, a 30th birthday, and Anthony & I— I felt bad he was the only guy but he had so much fun and said he would even do it again! The tour itself is BYO but they have coolers to keep your drinks cold & there is a bartender that makes sure your cup is never empty!
Drink a Moonshine 'Rita at Bootleggers Inn.
This bar on Broadway always has great live music and drinks. The last time we were here I swore the guy performing was Chris Stapleton's twin, he was so good and looked exactly like him. It has a dive bar feel and is known especially for their long list of flavored moon shines. And I mean come on, who doesn't want to get their shine on in Nashville?! Try their moon shine margarita or an oatmeal cookie moon shine shot!
All in all, Nashville is filled with some pretty amazing people just looking for a good time! You'll have a great time no matter what you do in the Music City!
Have you been to Nashville? Are you planning an upcoming trip? Comment below to share!

"I have seldom seen a more fearful section of coastline", wrote explorer Matthew Flinders when first rounding Cape Otway. Some 80 shipwrecks and many hundreds of lives later, the beautiful but treacherous 130 kilometre stretch between Moonlight Head and Port Fairy had earned the title 'The Shipwreck Coast'.
Last Century the southern waters of Bass Strait were one of the main approaches to eastern Australia. King Island divides the entrance into this strait into two channels. The southern channel could not be used as it was obstructed by reefs. So ships chose the northern passage which was only 75 kilometres wide. Since there was no guiding light on King Island until 1861, ships would hug the Australian coastline, anxious to find the Cape Otway light. But thick fogs and wild seas led to miscalculation and the coast claimed many convict transports, supply and immigrant ships as they innocently sailed through turbulent waters to the new colonies. Today, the evidence of these shipwrecks still exists and the drama and tragedy has been brought to life in many ways.
The Historic Shipwreck Trail from Lavers Hill in the east to Port Fairy in the west, has markers indicating the sites of 25 known shipwrecks. Occasionally you will stumble across isolated relics, like the old anchor from the "Loch Ard" which leans against the Visitors Centre at Port Campbell, and the anchors of two ships wrecked off Moonlight Head, which lie at the base of these cliffs.
One of the most famous sites is Loch Ard Gorge where the iron clipper 'Loch Ard' floundered in 1878. A thick fog caused the ship to crash against the rocks and she sank quickly, leaving only two survivors. They were Tom Pearce, who clung to an upturned life-boat and Eva Carmichael, who had clung to a chicken coop and then a spar. The strong seas swept both of them into the gorge and Tom was able to drag the barely- conscious Eva to a cave and then go for help.
Only four bodies were recovered. You can see their graves at the nearby cemetery as well as a memorial to all those who lost their lives in the tragedy. There are other cemeteries along The Shipwreck Coast which have historical graves. Near the Cape Otway lighthouse, you can see those of lighthouse staff, pioneers and shipwrecked sailors.
Other ships that went down along The Shipwreck Coast include the 'Schomberg', 'Tails of Halladale', 'Young Australia' and in recent years, the 'Casino'. Having completed 2500 trips between Melbourne and Portland, she was wrecked offshore from Apollo Bay in 1932.
At the Flagstaff Hill Maritime Museum many items recovered from some of these shipwrecks are on display. A prize piece is the spectacular Minton Loch Ard Peacock, which was to be exhibited at the 1880 International Exhibition in Melbourne, had the ship not gone down and taken the peacock with it.
Other exhibits you will see include the awesome Schomberg diamond. The roof of the Museum is made of slate salvaged from the 'Falls of Halladale' and the canons of the 'Schomberg' and 'Children' are also on display. The Old Cable Station Museum at Apollo Bay, and the Blackwood Gully Tourist and Heritage Centre at Lavers Hill provide a fascinating insight into the natural heritage and intrigue of shipwreck history.

Last Friday, an Alaska Airlines flight out of Seattle was delayed because a rat was seen scurrying in the cabin. Our county health department provides helpful advice if a rat swims up your sewer lines into your toilet.
We even have a neighborhood nicknamed "Rat City." Rats are featured in the popular Underground Tour of Seattle, and I believe are part of Seattle culture as much as Douglas firs and coffee.
Not long after Schwartz killed our pet snake, I discovered some evidence in our basement of rats.
They had found some secret stashes of dog food samples and treats and chewed their way in. I called the exterminator and he went through the usual routine of setting bait and traps and dutifully returned once a week to look for results. We suspected they were living in the basement ceiling, and Schwartz did his part letting us know that now we were on to something.
The exterminator finally decided that it was time to open the ceiling and pull out the rat's nest once and for all. As he got to work unscrewing the screws that held the panel in place, Schwartz watched him carefully. As he tipped the panel down to slide out the rat's nest, down it came, full of leaves and sawdust and lots of rat poop and there in the middle one big live rat. As it hit the floor it took off at a run, but Schwartz was on the case. He had the rat immediately. In one pounce he stopped the rat. The exterminator did the rest.
The exterminator was very excited and proud to tell me this story.


End of the Spear is a 2005 movie which gives a powerful true story of reconciliation - reconciliation between man and God, and reconciliation between man and man.
The movie begins with this statement: "Some people say we live in a world of irreconcilable differences. Others say that true peace, lasting peace, can't be obtained because we haven't found a way yet to change the human heart."
The movie is based on the story of Jim Eliot, Nate Saint, and their three missionary companions who were killed by the Waodoni of Ecuador. The stunning development from this horrifying tragedy is that their relatives - Jim's wife Elizabeth and Nate's sister Rachel, chose to go back to the Waodoni and offer them the greatest ministry of reconciliation they knew: forgiveness.
I'm the sort of person who is generally not a fan of movies that are overt attempts to evangelize the audience; my experience is that the plotlines of such movies are often deeply contrived and flawed, and therefore make the audience (believers and unbelievers alike) feel awkward about having to listen to a sermon at the end. This movie is not overtly evangelistic in a traditional sense, but clearly demonstrates the power of the gospel for reconciliation, as described in the verses above.
The movie is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence.

You certainly can shop as many lenders as you want but the reality is the limit of how many banks you can contact. Good Oakville Mortgage Brokers have many lenders to contact, as well as access to special well-priced programs that are inaccessible to individual borrowers. When you choose a direct lender you are obliged to fall into his way of doing things, whereas with a mortgage broker you are able to have better control over the closing process. The Broker serves as a liaison between you and the lender for closing times, flexibility, paperwork leniency, or for a credit issue.
A key benefit of working with a Oakville Mortgage Broker is that they can find you a better deal for your mortgage than you can find by shopping on your own. Very often the broker will price their fees into the loan's interest rate, or into the final closing costs. Through this way, you benefit from their services without having a large initial cash expense.
Oakville mortgage brokers assemble loan packages to procure financing purchase and refinance transactions. They use a loan submission checklist to ensure that all the necessary items required are enclosed within the loan package. Included are items such as a borrower's loan application form, a credit report, pay stubs, tax returns, a homeowner's insurance policy, as well as certain loan disclosures. Your mortgage broker will check each loan file over before submitting to the investor for approval.
By law, borrowers are obliged to complete home loan applications truthfully. Misrepresentations or fraudulent loan information could lead to heavy fines or even jail time. A variety of methods is used by mortgage lenders for establishing the authenticity of a borrower's loan application. Truthfulness with mortgage brokers and lenders could help a borrower to avoid certain consequences and receive the ownership of his home.
Your Oakville Mortgage Broker will gladly assist you to secure a loan for an investment property. However, you must remember that property loans are associated with above average lending risks, and so the loan costs are generally more expensive. A borrower could find the down payment for an investment property to be several times as much as a down payment for a primary residence. The financial arrangements could make the borrower choose to further finance their residential property instead of utilizing an investment property option.

Q&A Friday #76: Would Dobson And Company Actually Form A Third Party If Rudy Was The Candidate?
Answer: My guess is that if Rudy gets the nomination, Dobson and a handful of other big name social conservatives will take a very hard look at backing a candidate for a third party run in 2008.
However, it seems likely that most big name social conservatives won't go along with them and that they'll have great difficulty getting any sort of candidate of note to agree to run under their banner.
But, in any case, when they run Alan Keyes or a candidate of similar quality, you'll probably see them start out with 8%-15% of the vote — maybe a little higher, maybe a little lower. But, over time, as it becomes clear that the effort is doomed, the numbers for the Dobson Party candidate will drop.
By November of 2008, their candidate would probably be pulling somewhere in the 1%-5% range, depending on how unhappy people are with Rudy. Is that a big chunk of the electorate? No. But, is it enough to probably cost Rudy the election? Yes.
So, would we end up with a Democrat in the White House? Yes, probably. Would Dobson and anyone who went along with his effort have their reputations permanently destroyed with conservatives, even with most other social conservatives? Yes, probably.
In other words, threatening to form a third party could hurt Rudy enough to allow another candidate to beat him. But, if they actually were to go through with it, it would be a lose/lose situation for the entire conservative movement, including any social conservatives who decided to form a Third Party.
Since that's how it's likely to play out, is it possible that Dobson and Company would change their minds about forming a third party if Rudy actually won? Sure. In fact, it would be proof that they had more pride than brains if they didn't, but if there's one lesson I've learned the hard way since I started blogging, it's that people don't always do the rational thing.
PS: Even if no third party is formed, you can be sure that millions of social conservatives will stay home rather than turn out for Rudy. Don't buy that? Well, Karl Rove worked very hard to turn out "4 million Christian conservatives" in 2004 that he thought stayed home in 2000. Now, if that many Christians decided to sit the election out in 2000 rather than vote for George (Jesus is my favorite philosopher) Bush, what makes people think they're going to turn out for a pro-abortion, soft-on-gay-marriage adulterer like Rudy G.?

A white blouse with cute khaki or camel trousers can never go wrong. You can team up other accessories with them such as a tan or beige bag and gold colored jewelry. To keep things cute you can go for such a trouser that has a bow knot belt.
Skinny jeans and a t-shirt would look just fine on a brunch paired with some flats in a noticeable color and perhaps a neutral colored bag and layered bracelets. But let's say if you have to attend a brunch after a business meeting, you can team up the skinny jeans with a blouse and a blazer and replace flats for heels.
There is another combo that looks just so classy. And that is the pairing of a denim shirt with leather pants. It's up to you what color of leather you prefer with the denim shirt. Usually black and brown are ideal choices. Because you can choose rest of the accessories in black with both the options.
When in doubt go for a white dress. From preventing it to look bland you can choose a version that is a little embellished so that you can match the shoes, accessories and makeup with it.
Want to look ethereal and cute? Then create an outfit around a lace top and a skirt in the color that best defines your personality. Then, go ahead and introduce more style with a cross body bag or a hat and some trendy jewelry.
Want something girly? Then simply wear a floral dress along with a prominent colored jacket that complements your dress. Finish off the look with brown sandals and a clutch bag.
Jumpsuits either printed or plain are so effortlessly stylish. A great thing about them is that they are a fashion statement on their own and just a scarf with a pair of earrings or glasses would be enough to make you a fashionista.
Maxi skirts are perfect to wear with any casual t-shirt. Simply wear flats with such an assemble and grab your glasses and bag on the go.
Are you a girl who strongly believes in old is gold? Then hit the brunch with a retro or vintage style outfit.
Let's just admit it, some girls' outfits are always incomplete without a little glitter and sparkle. So, we thought to feature at least one brunch outfit that is cute and glamorous at the same time.

Soulful Style in Miami
Let these Latin designers inspire your wardrobe.
Sara Liss
Nowadays, fashion and philanthropy often go hand-in-hand. From designer collaborations with charities to co-branded shopping events, it's fashionable to care about where the items in your closet come from and the impact they have made on others. These Miami-based Latin designers not only want to make their customers feel more beautiful, but also contribute to a more beautiful world. Be it working with artisans in developing countries to provide employment or donating to charitable causes, these stylish do-gooders prove that giving back is always fashionable.
JETLAGMODE
Colombian designer Carolina Baena is committed to bringing change to her native country one pair of earrings at a time. Her bold and colorful statement pieces are hand-crafted in Colombia by single-mother artisans generating income and new jobs for poverty-stricken communities. The brand also partnered with MISIÓN GUAJIRA 3, a project led by a group of friends in order to help the people of La Guajira access clean drinking water by building a clean water well.
ARTTECA
In 2015 Venezuelan sisters Claudia Giardinella and Flavia Giardinella founded this ready-to-wear brand which ranges from scarfs to pants and kimonos. The brand taps artists from the U.S. and Latin America to create one-of-a-kind pieces that are printed on high-quality silk. Each piece of "wearable art" (as the founders describe it), also comes with a certificate of authenticity that details the name of the artist, the print it based on and the artwork that inspired it. With each artTECA purchase, the company donates a percentage of sales to support art education programs in the community that remove barriers for low- income students and allow them to explore art.
THE ONIKAS
Founded by long-time best friends and designers, Veronica Pesantes and Jonnyka Bormann (dubbed "the Onikas" in high school) this brand of dreamy ponchos, kaftans, sundresses and mala necklaces is sustainably sourced in Ecuador and India. Miami-based and Ecuador-born Pesantes works to guarantee ethical and sustainable practices among supply chains, by traveling to Ecuador to work directly with the workshop that handlooms their knits and collaborate with the weavers each season. In India, they work with a printing workshop that pays their artisans more than is required, and employs various generations of men. As an added bonus, the brand also has a zero-waste initiative making necklaces and tassels from all the leftover fabric from their designs.
SONDER AND HOLLIDAY
Started by Miami gals Lorena Miranda and Victoria Cuesta, this line of straw baskets, hats and fabric bands is sustainably sourced in Ecuador, Ghana and the U.S. "Sonder and Holliday is a direct result of my desire to create a fabulous line of travel and resort products with the intention of bridging the gap between their wearers and their creators," says Miranda. Using special promo codes on the brand's "Shop for a Cause" page on their website, they donate ten percent of sales to local charities including Overtown Youth Center and The Miami Learning Experience School.

Rape lawsuit vs. magician Copperfield
By Tom Liddy and Post Wires
August 20, 2009 | 4:00am
DAVID COPPERFIELD Alleged death threat, too.
A Seattle woman claims that illusionist David Copperfield repeatedly sexually assaulted her on his private island in the Bahamas during a horrifying two-day ordeal, according to a bombshell federal lawsuit.
The magician raped the 22-year-old victim, sexually assaulted her on two other occasions and threatened to kill her, court papers filed in Washington state claim.
The woman says her nightmare unfolded two summers ago, when the 52-year-old performer invited her to his $50 million private retreat on Musha Cay after meeting her at a show in Washington state.
One of the showman's assistants invited the alleged victim backstage, where she was told about promotional work on the island that might lead to "modeling opportunities," according to the suit, filed on July 29.
When she arrived on the island, which is reachable only by private boat, on July 27, 2007, "she realized no one else was in attendance other than . . . Copperfield," the suit says.
After the two dined, they went to the magician's room to watch a movie.
"Copperfield then attacked [her] and sexually assaulted her" and "threatened to kill her," despite the victim's attempt to fight him off, leaving her "extremely traumatized," her filing charges.
Without cellphone coverage on the island, the woman tried to use a land line to call her boyfriend, but Copperfield — once married to model Claudia Schiffer — allegedly marched in, holding a phone to his ear as if he were "listening to her call."
The next morning, she claims, he took her to a private beach, "ordered her to get naked," and held her head under water, telling her, "This is an example of what you will get if you tell anyone," before sexually assaulting her twice more.
The US Attorney's Office has not filed criminal charges, but a grand jury has been convened, according to the Seattle Times.
The woman is seeking unspecified damages.
"This lawsuit is extortion for money, plain and simple," Copperfield's lawyers said in a statement.
"Unfortunately, false claims like this only hurt the women who really have been abused."

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Sean Thomas Dennis, 29, formerly of La Follette, Tenn., pleaded guilty on Jan. 18, 2013, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee at Knoxville, to an indictment charging him with fraudulently issuing U.S. Postal Money Orders. Sentencing has been set for 10:30 a.m., Apr. 8, 2013, before the Honorable Thomas W. Phillips, U.S. District Judge.
In conjunction with his guilty plea, Dennis, a former U.S. Postal Service employee, admitted to issuing money orders without having first receiving or paying the full amount required for their issuance. Between October 2010 through January 2011, Dennis embezzled $32,096.21 from the U.S. Postal Service by fraudulently issuing 43 money orders. He told federal investigators that committed these acts to obtain money to finance his drug addiction.
This conviction was the result of an investigation by the United States Postal Service, Office of Inspector General. Assistant U.S. Attorney Frank M. Dale, Jr. represented the United States.

Technological giants, Apple have requested new emojis to represent the disabled community.
Apple has requested thirteen new emojis, but state that these are not meant to represent all disabilities but are to be used as a starting point to further disability inclusiveness.
The proposal includes requests for male and female characters in wheelchairs, a prosthetic arm and leg, a guide dog and an ear with a hearing aid.
Whilst there are only thirteen requested emojis, it will enable smartphone users to see beyond the normal stereotypes of disabilities. One requested emoji is a man with a white cane, this will encourage users to understand more about different cane uses rather than the normal stereotype of someone wearing sunglasses.
As a beginning, we are excited to see where these emojis will lead.

Setting the Table for Congressional Cup
The 53rd Congressional Cup regatta, the second stop on the World Match Racing Tour, will host seven of the world's top 10 match racing skippers when it takes place this year on March 27 to April 2 in the waters off Long Beach, California.
The Congressional Cup is regarded the 'granddaddy of match racing' as Long Beach Yacht Club (LBYC) innovated the game of match racing in 1965 and was a pioneer in on-the-water umpiring. The seven-stop WMRT global series commences in Australia in March and concludes in China in November.
Returning to defend his Congressional Cup Championship title is three-time winner Taylor Canfield, ISV (ranked no.1 by World Sailing), who will vie to match Peter Holmberg's record of four Congressional Cup victories (1998, 1999, 2001 and 2002). Leading the opposition is Phil Robertson, NZL (no. 4) – who edged out Canfield in last year's WMRT finals to capture the 2106 World Match Racing Champion title.
Other past Congressional Cup winners on the leaderboard include 2011 and 2012 victor Ian Williams, GBR (no. 2), and Johnie Berntsson, SWE (no. 37), who triumphed in 2009. Sam Gilmour, AUS (no. 3), Eric Monnin, SUI (no. 9) and Nicolai Sehested, DEN (no. 23) also join the line-up, along with Chris Steele, NZL (no. 6) who is carrying a WMRT Tour Card for the first time.
Steele scrapped his way into Congressional Cup history via the Ficker Cup qualifier in 2015; earning a wild-card entry in 2016. "We have been chasing the Tour Card for several seasons now and have been falling short every time, so we are super happy to have it for the 2017 season," Steele announced.
Making his Congressional Cup debut is another rising star from the land down under, Harry Price, AUS (no. 5), who scored his slot by winning the 2016 US Grand Slam – a bracing quartet of back-to-back match racing regattas held last summer. The final contenders will be decided in the Ficker Cup qualifier, held in the days leading up to Congressional Cup.
While other WMRT Championship Events are raced in M32 multihulls, the Congressional Cup is challenged in a fleet of identical 37-foot Catalina sloops designed specifically for LBYC's match racing series; which guarantee an even platform and exciting competition. Gilmour, who finished third last year, described it as, "some of the most exciting racing I've ever done," and lauded LBYC for both the high level of racing, and hospitality.
The Congressional Cup is hosted by LBYC, renowned for its outstanding hospitality and organization, utilizing the talents and energy of more than 300 member volunteers annually. Since 1965 the world's top ranked skippers have come here to compete for the esteemed Congressional Cup and the Crimson Blazer – an honor bestowed to sailing icons like Dennis Conner, Dean Barker, Ken Read, Ted Turner, Taylor Canfield and more.
Racing is held directly off the city's Belmont Veterans Memorial Pier, where spectators can view this world class competition for free, beginning around 11AM each day.
For more information on Congressional Cup visit www.thecongressionalcup.com
Background: In 2013, Swedish company Aston Harald AB acquired the design and production rights to the one-design M32 catamarans. In July 2015, Aston Harald AB acquired the World Match Racing Tour, which then began the use of the M32 during the 2016 Tour. Launched in 2000, the World Match Racing Tour is the leading professional match racing series sanctioned by World Sailing.

After reading The Book of Drugs, I can say with total certainty that Mike Doughty doesn't want to hear about anyone's love for his former band.
At first I was devastated to read this, as he rightly predicts in the book, but having heard his story, I understand. I wish, for his sake, that he hadn't had such a negative experience with the band, but perhaps it was part of his journey to sobriety and his evolution as an artist. Ultimately his story doesn't take away from my personal associations with the music. I am probably the more fortunate one because I can still enjoy the music and savor those memories, whereas he still seems to be tortured by anger, resentment, and bitterness about it.
I was living in Minnesota when the first Soul Coughing album, Ruby Vroom, was released. Soul Coughing had a large following in Minneapolis, I believe due to a local radio station called REV105. REV105 had a giant influence on my life - not only was it there that I first heard Soul Coughing (and The Replacements, Sugar, Semisonic, and a whole host of other bands) but it was also what sparked my interest in music and led me to my college radio's airwaves, and ultimately to Amoeba. I saw my first Soul Coughing show at First Avenue in Minneapolis, not long before I moved to the Bay Area for college. I was lonely that first semester and I found an online community in the Soul Coughing chat rooms, making friends with other fans. We would see the band play live whenever we got the chance, even convening in Minneapolis for a 3-night Soul Coughing stint at First Avenue (an event we lovingly named "Coughstock"). We weren't groupies, we just loved the music. Their live shows were incredible. After finishing the book, I listened to all three Soul Coughing albums again, for the first time in years (I don't know if I've played El Oso since 2000). But even today, what I hear in my head - and what I prefer - are the live versions, dancing and singing with the audience.
I went to a couple of Doughty's solo shows in Los Angeles on his first few tours, but I stopped going. It made me too sad to hear him perform Soul Coughing songs. I was hearing the live, full-band versions in my head and, at that point, I didn't understand why he left the band. I was glad to read that he doesn't play those songs anymore. He sounds happier with the musicians who play with him today, and writes about them with affection and respect. It made me want to see his solo shows again.
Doughty's latest solo effort, Yes and Also Yes (Snack Bar), came out at the end of August last year and I listened to it for the first time ths week. Dan Wilson of Semisonic co-wrote some of the songs and there's a duet with Roseanne Cash called "Holiday (What Do You Want)." I need more time to digest the album - I've been too busy reading his book. On January 31, he is releasing The Question Jar Show, a double disc recorded live of Doughty and his sidekick "Scrap" performing and answering questions audience members put in a jar onstage.
In February, Doughty will embark on a tour reading from The Book of Drugs, performing and taking questions. He comes to San Francisco on April 10 at the Swedish American Hall (get tickets) and to Los Angeles on April 11 at the Bootleg (get tickets). Both shows go on sale on Friday, January 27. I know I'll be there.

Two shark divers freed 19 sharks from a longline. They're facing five years in prison
David Goodhue
Two years ago, a captain and mate of a Jupiter-based shark diving boat stopped about two miles into their trip taking six tourists out to swim with the apex predators.
During the August 2020 charter, they came across a commercial fishing longline — a controversial piece of angling gear consisting of sometimes up to several miles of monofilament line, weights and hooks, designed with the purpose of snagging dozens of fish at a time.
The men, boat captain John R. Moore Jr., 56, and mate Tanner Mansell, 29, gathered up the three miles of line and freed 19 sharks and a Goliath grouper, a state-protected species. The three-hour effort was done with the help of their charter passengers, telling them the line was an abandoned "ghost set" of line, U.S. Attorney's Office prosecutors said.
A hammerhead shark struggles on a commercial longline hook off Jupiter, Florida, in August 2020.
Two years later, a grand jury indicted Moore and Mansell of theft of commercial fishing gear in federal waters. A jury convicted the men last week, and they now face five years each in federal prison. The line, prosecutors said, belonged to a commercial fishing operator that was licensed to catch all the species of shark that were hooked that day.
Attorneys for Moore and Mansell declined to comment on the case prior to the scheduled Feb. 9 sentencing, but both men maintained throughout their trial they thought the longline was an illegal setup and their only intent was to free the fish, not steal the gear.
Both men have years of experience working on the water. Moore was a former commercial fisherman, according to federal prosecutors. Additionally, Mansell is a noted underwater photographer and handled sharks for a film shoot of the famous Shark Week series on the Discovery Channel in 2021.
His social media accounts are filled with images of sharks he photographed around the world, as well as messages touting shark conservation.
But federal prosecutors said the pair should have been well aware that the longline they handled and eventually brought back to shore was legitimate. It was attached to a large orange buoy clearly marked with the name of the vessel to which it belonged, the Day Boat III, prosecutors said.
According to prosecutors, a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officer watched as Moore's boat entered the Jupiter Inlet and stopped the vessel. Moore told the officer the line was an illegal shark fishing set, prosecutors said. The buoy — "which would have established the obvious legality of the shark fishing effort" — was gone, prosecutors said in a statement.

The FWC officer told Moore and Mansell to leave the line, hooks and weights on the dock for evidence, but prosecutors said the pair instead cut up the line and threw all the gear into a dumpster.
"Evidence at trial established that the gear alone cost the vessel owner approximately $1,300, and the value of the lost sharks amounted to several thousand dollars, which represented a significant portion of the income that would be paid to the fishermen," the prosecutors said.
Moore and Mansell, who their attorneys say are not in federal custody, not only face prison time, but also fines up to $250,000 apiece.

Bruce, there he goes: Struggling Canucks fire head coach Boudreau, hire Tocchet
VANCOUVER — General manager Patrik Allvin feels strongly that his Vancouver Canucks needed a coaching change — whether the passionate fan base wanted one or not.

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — For all the progress of the first road playoff victory in 30 years, Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys still can't get out of their divisional-round rut.

"They're all independent," the Dallas quarterback said after dropping to 0-3 in divisional games, almost half of the record seven consecutive losses in this round for the Cowboys.
