Workers closer to retirement more wary of health reform
by Christian Schappel
Of workers age 50 and over currently receiving employer-sponsored health benefits, 52% think health reform will make their situation "worse off." Meanwhile, fewer younger workers share their concerns, found a new survey.
Less than half (43%) of workers younger than 50 — and receiving health coverage from their employers — think healthcare reform will put them in a worse situation overall, according to a new survey of 1,502 workers by Mercer.
In just about every aspect of the survey, those closer to retirement viewed health reform's affect more negatively than their younger counterparts.
Check out the results in these areas:
Federal income taxes — 68% of older workers feel health reform will hurt their current tax situation (compared to 59% of younger workers).
Personal expenses for care — 57% of older workers think reform will drive up their expenses (compared to 49% of younger workers).
Work-sponsored benefits — 46% of older workers feel reform will negatively impact the benefits they currently receive from their employer (compared to 40% of younger workers).
Choice of doctors, hospitals — 45% of older workers are wary of what health reform will do to their provider options (compared to 35% of younger workers).
Quality of care — 46% of older workers feel health reform will reduce the quality of the healthcare they receive (compared to 36% of younger workers).
Access to care — 45% of older workers feel reform will reduce their current ability to access care (compared to 35% of younger workers).
The catalyst for some of these concerns: Tracy Watts, partner in Mercer's Health and Benefits business, believes it's the fact that employers are looking to lump more of the costs associated with healthcare reform onto employees.

iPhone calendar bug scraps 2022 holidays in many countries
By Killian Bell • 5:08 am, January 6, 2022
No days off in 2022? Blame Apple.
Image: Killian Bell/Cult of Mac
iPhone's built-in Calendar app has an ongoing bug that prevents 2022 holidays from appearing in a number of countries, including the United Kingdom.
The problem first cropped up in mid-2021, but iPhone owners assumed the holidays would appear as the new year drew closer. Almost a week into 2022, a large number of users remain unable to see them.
2022 holidays missing from iPhone
Apple helpfully adds all national holidays to its built-in Calendar app so we can properly plan our days off work (probably). But you may be shocked to find that, according to Apple, you have no days off in 2022.
Users in Australia, the United Kingdom and a whole bunch of European countries — including Denmark, Germany, Portugal, Spain and Sweden — do not see any public holidays for this year. (The holidays appear as expected in the United States.)
The problem was first reported by MacRumors, which initially thought only U.K. users were affected. However, a large number of iPhone owners across many countries have since reported the same problem.
The root cause seems to be a bug in Apple's Calendar service. Strangely, the problem seems limited to recent versions of iOS. Those using older iPhone models reportedly see 2022 holidays as expected.
Apple already working on a fix
The good news is that it looks like Apple is already working on putting things right. Some users in the countries listed above report that their public holidays are returning to the Calendar app. But it's not fixed for everyone yet.
If you can't wait for a fix, you may find that your government offers a downloadable list of national holidays in an ICS file that you can add to the Calendar app. That's certainly the case for those in the United Kingdom.

South Dakota Governor Held Christian Worship Party on First Day in Office January 24, 2019 Hemant Mehta
South Dakota Governor Held Christian Worship Party on First Day in Office
On her first full day as governor of South Dakota this month, Kristi Noem held what was meant to be an interfaith "Inaugural Worship Service." It was actually a giant government-sponsored ad for Christianity.
According to the Freedom From Religion Foundation, which just sent a letter reminding her about how the law works, that crossed the line:
The service featured Christian music, a full sermon by a pastor, and multiple group prayers. One of these prayers, led by a woman who identified herself as the new governor's family friend, endorsed a Christian nationalist vision for South Dakota, saying of God: "You are the Lord and King of South Dakota" and "We thank you, Lord God, that we have faith — faith in You. And that Holy Spirit is filling this place now as we worship you, and the Holy Spirit absolutely takes over every corner and every crevice of this Capitol and of this state." The woman then pivoted from Christian nationalism to exorcism, praying that "any demon that may try to come in this place is kicked out."
"We hope that you can see how your endorsement of an event at which attendees were asked to pray that 'the Holy Spirit absolutely takes over every corner and every crevice of this Capitol and this state' sent an unmistakable message to all nonreligious South Dakotans 'that they are outsiders, not full members of the political community,'" FFRF Legal Fellow Colin McNamara writes to the governor, quoting the U.S. Supreme Court. "We urge you to focus on the secular business of governing, and leave church services where they belong — in a church."
Noem isn't alone on this. This month alone, we've seen Gov. Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma talk about how his office will "join in with what God is doing in Oklahoma." Tennessee's Gov. Bill Lee sold tickets for "preferential seating" to the worship service before his inauguration.
All of these people put their hands on a Bible while swearing to uphold the laws of their states. All of them seem to have gotten the two books mixed up.

I first became interested in the Catholic chapel at Sharpness when I was looking at the list of documents held at Bristol Record Office for the Diocese of Clifton. I was actually looking for something about Thornbury, but the nearest I could get was in box 27, referring to Stroud and district, where one heading read 'Sharpness: letters, papers and accounts'. It had not even occurred to me that Sharpness, a small town which grew up around the docks constructed at the Severn end of the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal which was opened in 1827, had ever had any post-Reformation Catholic history. Still, there it was, and Sharpness seemed the nearest I was going to get to Thornbury, so I asked for Box 27, and the sad little episode of the Catholic chapel at Sharpness unfolded itself, as seen from the point of view of its originator and benefactress, Mrs Mary Gifford.
Mrs Gifford was the wife of Edgar Berkeley Gifford, who was the third son of Baron Gifford of St. Leonard's in Devon. She married him in 1879 – the marriage is recorded in the Woodchester registers – when he was twenty-two. Perhaps she was older than he, as she is described on the marriage certificate as 'Maria Booth de Ozleworth', and Burke's 'Peerage' of 1899 tells us that she was the daughter of John Osborne Esq., Q.C. and the widow of Thomas Booth of West Ashby Manor in Lincoln. Most of the Sharpness material in the Record Office is her correspondence with Bishop Clifford about Sharpness. The first letter that we have is dated 11 February 1881, and enclosed a letter from Canon J.J. Clarke to the Bishop. She writes from Pedington Manor Farm, Berkeley, to say that there are thirty to forty Catholics at or within reach of Sharpness, including children, and she thinks there would be support for a Catholic chapel at Sharpness.
To find Bishop Clifford's end of the correspondence means working in the Diocesan Archives at Bishop's House, and I have to admit that I have not yet matched up all the letters and diary entries. The Bishop's reply I have not traced, but it seems to have been encouraging. At all events, on 9th July terms were proposed by Bishop Clifford to Mrs Gifford for the running costs of the chapel. The suggestion is that a chapel should be rented and furnished and a priest provided from Bristol. The costs of the priest's journey, given very precisely as four shillings and three pence, his salary for coming (twelve to fourteen shillings a journey, that is about £30 to £35 a year) and his board and lodging ('meals on Sunday and a bed on Saturday and Sunday') are to be found by the congregation at Sharpness. However, any idea of renting a building seems to have been changed, for a year later (9 March 1882) Mrs Gifford is writing to the Bishop thanking him for returning 'the plans of the church', and asking that it should be dedicated to Our Lady, Star of the Sea. The costs allowed are to be £40 for the land and £130 for the building, and this is to be made up to £200 to allow for extra costs. Stone, King, the Bath solicitors used by the Clifton diocese, agreed to advance the money to the diocese to be repaid over the next five years. The financial transactions are not very easy to sort out. The money was repaid to Stone, King by Bishop Clifford in 1883. Mrs Gifford paid for the whole of the chapel herself once it was opened, but I have not found a formal receipt, and in the light of subsequent events I begin to wonder whether there ever was one. The nearest thing that I have yet found are some rough notes in Bishop Clifford's writing indicating that Mrs Gifford paid the full cost of the land, the building and the furnishings in October 1885.
The estimate of £200, as is the way with estimates, proved over-optimistic. In July of the same year, Austin King of Stone, King writes to the Bishop about the chapel, saying that the owner of the land, an Alfred Cole, has agreed to sell the land for £60 (his original price had been £150) and the cost of building the chapel will be £200. There will be a 'school or cottage' behind. He adds that the trade in Sharpness Docks is improving, and in August Mrs Gifford, who is delighted at the prospect of having the chapel, tells the Bishop that petrol and chemical works are to be built at Sharpness.
Bishop Clifford was decidedly interested and records in his diary that he discussed the matter with the Franciscan Father Provincial, who was willing to make enquiries but said nothing could be settled until it was discussed the next month with the Definitors in France. In June it was arranged that the Crown would be bought by the Franciscans and they would serve Sharpness, though this last was not necessarily to be a permanent arrangement. But in the end nothing came of it and the Franciscans went to Portishead.
On 22 December 1883, Bishop Clifford of Clifton blessed and opened the new chapel at Newtown, Sharpness. The chapel, according to the Dursley, Berkeley and Sharpness Gazette for 29 December, was built 'for the accommodation of seamen visiting the port and the Catholic residents of the neighbourhood'. It was a plain structure of brick, with chairs to take about sixty people. The Gazette adds somewhat enigmatically, 'The altar and the appendages are thoroughly characteristic of the Catholic Faith'. The congregation is described by Bishop Clifford in his diary as 'over twenty persons … mostly Catholics'. Was Mrs Gifford's 'thirty to forty Catholics' rather hopeful? Among them, the Gazette records, were Mrs Earl of Ozleworth and the Hon. Mrs E.B. Gifford. It was thanks to Mrs Gifford that the chapel had been built and opened at all, but its history as a Catholic Mission in the Berkeley Vale was to be shorter and sadder than she hoped.
The brutal fact seems to have been that the local Catholic population could not support such a venture. The 'thirty to forty Catholics including children' at Sharpness does seem highly unlikely, though I am willing to be corrected by anyone who may know more about it than I do. The collection of the money to maintain the chapel was put in the hands of a Signor Montana, who was to hand what was collected both from local Catholics and also from the ships using the docks over to Mrs. Gifford, who was to put it in the savings bank. A collection book survives, endorsed by Bishop Clifford, with the entries in Italian.
Signor Montana seems to have borne the heat and burden of the day to day – or rather week to week – organisation of the chapel. Bishop Clifford, in his diary entry about the opening and blessing of the chapel, records methodically that the 'chalice, ciborium and all vestments are to be kept at Signor Montana's' who will also 'lodge and feed the priest (who was to begin with a Franciscan from Clifton) Saturday night and Sunday'. He adds that 'Mrs Rolt's milkman will drive the priest to Berkeley Road Station on Sunday evening'. (One of the witnesses to the Gifford's wedding seems to have been called Rolt).
Mrs Gifford, though, was the chief benefactress of the chapel. She bought furnishings for the altar from Austen and Oates at Park Street, Bristol, and further church furniture from Jones and Willis of Birmingham. She also provided for the weekly cleaning of the chapel, and insisted on having it heated. ('Please have good warming appliances', she wrote to the Bishop, 'as it will make very little difference to the annual expense and so much in the comfort of the congregation and also prevents the things getting spoiled by damp … 'Duly, on 17 May 1883, the item '14 weeks' coal at 6d a week' appears in the expense accounts for Sharpness chapel).
Staffing the chapel became difficult when the Franciscans went to Portishead and in June 1884 it was agreed that the Dominicans from Woodchester should take over and also be responsible for the finances. Mrs Gifford wrote to Bishop Clifford in July that year, saying that the mission was 'again flourishing' and that Father Gabriel Whittaker 'takes great pains'. However, a Father Bernard is more often at Sharpness, and Mrs Gifford does not seem to have got on with him. In July 1885 she writes to the Bishop saying that the Dominicans are leaving Sharpness. 'I cannot regret it', she says, 'as it will clear the way without any difficulty for anyone else to come', and she again says how much she would like the Franciscans to come to Newport, where the Crown Inn is still available. 'So it is possible', she says, 'and if you give me leave to try my best, the great disagreeable of clashing with the Dominicans is at an end, which would be a great help'. From Newport the Franciscans could start missions 'in Berkeley, Dursley, Wotton-under-Edge, Thornbury and Alveston, all of which much need them, don't they?' she adds.
Quite why Mrs Gifford had to remind the Bishop that she should be repaid I am not clear, unless, as I suggested earlier, her payment to the Bishop was somehow never recorded, and as he was away at the time of the sale of the chapel there was a misunderstanding. Three days after her letter reminding the Bishop that the chapel actually belongs to her, she writes again, saying, 'I can see now plainly that I have put you in a false position regarding the ownership and I greatly regret having done so', but adds that examination of the records will show that she gave all the money. Finally, in the closing account for Sharpness, on 11 December 1888, Mrs Gifford's generosity is properly recorded. Of the £375.12.6d paid for the building, furnishing and running of Sharpness chapel, she had given £335.17s.6d.
Bishop Clifford's diary entry for 15 December adds that the chapel is empty apart from chairs, hassocks and about twelve lamps, and that the keys are now with one of the principal Dock Clerks, a Mr Quirk of 11. Dock Row, who may help with the sale. The chapel was finally sold to a Mr. Browne for £84.6s.6d.
At this point my researches gave up. But the indefatigable Richard Barton of the Gloucestershire and North Avon Catholic History Society discovered that far from coming to an untimely end, Sharpness chapel (of Our Lady, Star of the Sea?) is still very much in use. It is now St Andrew's Anglican church at Sharpness. It is described as a plain brick building with a slate roof. The interior measures sone 72' x 21'. As far as I could tell when I visited it, the original 'west' window still exists, though the 'east' window has been boarded over and hidden by a curtain, in front of which is the altar and reredos. The 'west' wall is now causing problems, a lady doing the flowers told us, and the congregation is having to decide what to do about it. Quite how the chapel came into Anglican hands I am hoping to find out one day. Did 'Mr Browne' buy it for the Church of England, or is it more complicated than that.
Why did Sharpness fail? It is interesting to compare its history with that of two short-lived Berkeley Vale missions – those at Berkeley Power Station and Oldbury Power Station when they were built. At Oldbury (and I am told the same was true at Berkeley) so many of the men building the place were Irish that the C.E.G.B. made a building available for Mass and a resident priest, Father Joseph Hogan, was sent from Ireland. My neighbour in Oldbury can remember going to Mass at the power station when she first moved to Oldbury. In its most flourishing times there were two Masses on a Sunday morning and one in the evening, and a Mass every weekday, together with Confessions before all Masses and from 5 to 6.30 on a Saturday. My neighbour remembers the building as having also been a cinema, and that the Sunday Masses were regularly packed. As the need for outside workers came to an end, the mission was gradually closed down, being run for a short time from Thornbury before being closed down altogether.
In this case the mission was opened to serve a particular need, not as at Sharpness to fulfil the vague expectation that Sharpness's own local Catholic population plus the shifting one from the ships in the docks would be sufficient to maintain it. The Oldbury mission had the financial backing of the C.E.G.B. construction workers, not the uncertain one of a local lady, comparatively well off but not entirely her own mistress in financial affairs. And the greatest advantage of all: Oldbury had a resident priest, and did not have to rely on someone travelling the eighteen miles or so from Bristol or even the fifteen or sixteen miles from Woodchester.
Perhaps the lesson to be drawn is that to succeed a mission has to have financial backing, a sufficiently large Catholic population to provide both that backing and the necessary congregation, and a nearby priest who can give the younf mission the tender loving care it needs to get established. Sharpness failed on all three counts, and perhaps the most revealing moment in Mrs Gifford's letters is when she says in her letter of July 1885 that she wants the Franciscans to come back: 'the chapel having become almost "my private chapel".' Indeed it was, as the accounts show, but that was not enough, unfortunately, to ensure its survival.
Additional Note: Lady Mary Gifford of Bourne Stream, North Nibley, died on 15th August 1913, aged 72 years, and she is buried in North Nibley Cemetery.

Of all the mid-century historic houses I'd like to visit, Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion House — which has been reassembled inside the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Mich. — is at the very top of my list. This is the only known prototype of Bucky's dream home, envisioned as a solution to provide affordable housing to the masses after World War II. The Museum acquired the house in 1991 and over the next decade restored the priceless relic. The Dymaxion House — which was officially known as The Dymaxion Dwelling House — was opened to the public in 2001.
YOWZA! Old newsreel footage. I love the internet!
"Comprehensive, anticipatory design scientist"
Buckminster Fuller is such a fascinating person. He had to have been one of the most genius minds of the 20th century… According to his daughter, he identified himself as a "comprehensive, anticipatory design scientist." He is most famous for working with the geodesic dome. He coined the term "spaceship Earth"… and the word "synergy."
The CBS Sunday Morning segment above is an excellent introduction and includes great shots of the Dymaxion house — including in a proposed subdivision. What do you think, did we miss out? Would you like to live in Dynamaxion Village?

Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion Dwelling Machine
The Museum says:
Conceived and designed in the late 1920's but not actually built until 1945, the Dymaxion House was Fuller's solution to the need for a mass-produced, affordable, easily transportable and environmentally efficient house. The word "Dymaxion" was coined by combining parts of three of Bucky's favorite words: DY (dynamic), MAX (maximum), and ION (tension). The house used tension suspension from a central column or mast, sold for the price of a Cadillac, and could be shipped worldwide in its own metal tube. Toward the end of WW II, Fuller attempted to create a new industry for mass-producing Dymaxion Houses.
The story gets pretty fascinating. Fuller created a company to try and produce the house. But only two prototypes were made before the company collapsed over creative differences. An investor, William Graham, purchased the two prototypes and in 1948, incorporated at least one of them into a house he built for his family in Wichita, Kansas. The family lived in the house into the 1970s and in 1991, donated the Dymaxion to the Henry Ford Museum.
The Dymaxion House was built of aluminum. Fuller chose this material because it was light to transport, strong enough to withstand a Kansas tornado, and because after World War II, there were aircraft manufacturing facilities with capacity to manufacture it.
The house was "designed to be about 1,100 square feet or about the size of a small Cape Cod-style bungalow. It was supposed to cost about $6,500 in 1946." The efficient and ingenious layout held "two bedrooms, foyer, living room, dining room, kitchen, kitchen storage, stainless steel fireplace, optional folding stairs to the balcony, accordion doors, O-Volving shelves, revolving shoe and clothes rack, tie and hat rack, and the Dymaxion bathroom."
The Dymaxion House design at the Henry Ford was adapted from an earlier prototype designed in the 1920s. Watch the video from the Whitney Exhibit in 2008, and it appears that the original prototype had some distinct differences. Including that it would be delivered by zeppelin… which would first drop a bomb to create a crater-foundation!

It truly is something to see in person! The bathroom is a bit claustrophobic. Come to Dearborn, you won't be disappointed. 🙂 My daughter-in-law works at The Henry Ford. We can hit up the Saarinen house while your here. I have a nice knotty pine bedroom you can sleep in.
This is at the top of my list too! I must go see it one day. The architect that designed my house must have been very influenced by buckminster fuller's dymaxion house. Living in a round house definitely has its advantages. They are very energy efficient. My home is about 2500 ft2 and has whatever insulation still exists from 1964 and paper thin windows but my elec bill never goes above $100 and it is currently 98 degrees here in south LA. In the winter months it can be as low as $40. Having the ac centrally located and shooting out air in a wagon wheel configuration works so much better than trying to cool off a long rectangle house with an ac unit off on one side.
It's also convenient in the fact that you are never at the 'far end' of the house, there is none! Any room is just a few steps away.
And they are great for areas prone to tornados and hurricanes. The wind has no flat walls to push against so the chances of wind damage are slim. My house came out fine during hurricane Rita (just as bad as Katrina) and I know of other camps further south that benefited from being roundish ( they were octagons).
It's funny to think of what America's landscape would look like if fuller's idea had really taken off and we all lived in round dwellings…
Kate H (in Va) says
Would love to see a floor plan of your house, or of any round house, really. This is such a neat idea and I didn't realize how much more energy efficient they were.
deltechomes.com: The inspiration, terms and ideas for these homes come from none other than R. Buckminster Fuller. I've been presenting the Dymaxion House at Henry Ford Museum for over 10 years! Come experience this, and so much more at The Henry Ford (Museum, Greenfield Village, Ford Rouge Factory Tour).
To rephrase my earlier comment, I would say instead that the creators of deltechomes were inspired by Buckminster Fuller and his ideas for producing round efficient homes. You can find out more about this company (and see illustrated floor plans) by going to their website.
This is AMAZING!! What forward thinking! I would love, love, love to go see it.
Nancy B says
This is fascinating!! Some people are just ahead of their time! This is at the top of my list (and can't thank you enough for the list)!
Jenny A. says
We went to The Henry Ford a few years ago and I saw the Dymaxion House. It's such an amazing concept and really a pity it didn't catch-on. I enjoyed touring it immensely and it was really my favorite part of the whole museum (which is saying a lot because the whole place is just fascinating). 😉
Mary Tatum says
It's the house version of an Airstream!
I was thinking the very same thing!
The Henry Ford (and Greenfield Village) is my favorite place in the world, hands down, and the Dymaxion is part of that reason. It is SO COOL, the revolving shelves and self cleaning bathroom are the stuff of dreams. If you haven't been make plans to go because it is amazing and you won't regret it.
Kathy Merchant says
Makes me want to know more about the history of my house and its design. I have the original pamphlet with the different models available and floorplans from the builder. Maybe I will try the internet and see what I can find!
Is your house round?!
Ashly says
I'm going to be a nitpicker… it should read "Visit *a* historic house", unless you pronouse House as "ouse" and I don't think many people do! http://www.grammar-monster.com/lessons/an_or_a.htm
Actually, using an is for ease of pronunciation, so you use it based on the word that follows it, not based on the noun it modifies. And I'm pretty sure that a "h"istoric house and an 'istoric house are both acceptable.
Robin, NV says
I believe "a" and "an" are both acceptable. I'm a(n) historical archaeologist and those of us in my field have this debate all the time.
While regionally, there may be some play with "a" and "an", it is most common to use "a" in this instance, and especially when addressing a national audience. For those of us who do not drop our H's (most of us), it looks sloppy to write "an". /nitpicking
I am going to use "an". Golly.
Stand your ground, Pam!
Hey – it's your website! If you're comfortable with the uncommon usage of "an", then by golly, go for it!
I assumed it was an oversight on the editor or graphic designer's part. Most of us pronounce the "H" in historic and would say and write "a historic" (and a quick google search confirms this to be the case), but I can see how if you hail from an area that would pronounce historic as "istoric," that you would not find the use of "an" to be strange. Since I am the only person who took issue (enough to say something, at least) with the "an", I will move on and privately cringe when I see the images again in the future.
Geez louise! I can assure you that it's perfectly OK to write "an historic" with the "h" pronounced. It really has nothing to do with whether or not the "h" is silent. But if you want to get nitpicky, the "h" is not vocalized. From a phonetic perspective, it sits on the border of vowel and consonant – so in my opinion, it's OK to use "a" or "an." I've seen "an" used extensively in professional journals.
But what REALLY matters is that Pam and Kate came up with a super cool map!! Why are we arguing over grammar? Hugs Pam.

The hubs just visited Mr. Fuller's personal dome home in Carbondale, Illinois. He said it was really cool. It's abandoned now and sitting there looking really sad but there is a group that's trying to get it preserved and cleaned up. He showed me some pictures where you could barely see inside – original floors and vintage furniture still sitting where it was left. Very intriguing..

You can make these using any colours you like to represent different bottles. I have given you instructions below to make the Peroni bottle. To make different bottles simple change colours on different rows. You can be as creative as you like!
Use embroidery thread to sew on lettering to represent the bottle of your choice!
You can block your work using an iron and spray starch, this will give a nice stiff finish.
Arrange the bottles in the order that you would like (you will work from right to left). Chain 35, sl st along the top four stitches of the first bottle that you would like to join one that will be on the far right), chain 10, add the next bottle by slip stitching along, chain 10, continue to add bottles, finish with ch 35 which gives you a length to tie the bunting up with.

It's no secret that your financial priorities change over the course of your life. In your teens you might save for a car, in your 30s you might save for your kids' education, and by your 40s and 50s you're more focused on your retirement. But to achieve any of these goals you need a solid savings plan. One that keeps you on track for your long-term goals, and one that will see you through any economic downturns that may happen along the way.
Consolidating your accounts is a simple solution, which makes it a good place to start. It'll save you money on fees and reduce the risk of losing track of accounts and incurring charges. Those savings might seem small, but they add up fast.
Of course the key to any savings plan is to start early. That way you can take full advantage of the power of compound interest. "A little bit saved each month starting at age 25 beats a lot saved every year starting at age 50," says Heather Franklin, a certified financial planner in Toronto. "Every day you wait to put a savings plan in place could affect the lifestyle you want."
You can't get to your destination unless you have a road map. Having a clear objective of what you are saving for is the first step, whether it's for a family vacation, a TV or second family car. "People know they have to save, but if they can visualize their financial goals, it really helps," says Sheila Munch, a CFP and owner of Durham Financial in Oshawa, Ont. It also helps to write down each objective with the amount you want to save and a target date for reaching your goal. "Don't rush this part," she says. "This helps ensure you'll succeed."
Whether you make $50,000 or $150,000 a year, you need a snapshot of how much you're spending. That's where a budget comes in. Once in place, you can determine how much you can allocate to savings or if you need to rein in your spending. "If 5% of income is all you can afford, start there," says Franklin. "Then increase it to 10% or 15%." If you're unsure how much you should be saving talk with an adviser who can help you build a budget and show you ways to save that you may not have considered, like consolidating or restructuring debt to lower your interest costs.
There are many ways to save and invest your money, including savings accounts, Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs), mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs)-the list goes on. The trick is picking the one that works for you. Choosing the right savings vehicle will depend on how much you can save, how frequently you plan to add to your savings, and how quickly you may need to access that money.
For short-term goals, focus on safety and liquidity rather than growth. Savings accounts (including Tax-Free Savings Accounts), GICs and high-interest savings accounts are good options. Picking the right investments for medium-term goals can be more challenging, because you need to strike a balance between protecting your assets and growing them to offset inflation. As a general rule, the more time you have to reach a financial goal, the more investment risk you can afford. More risk means more volatility, but if you have 15 years or more to meet your goals, you should be able to ride out any market downturns.
If you don't see the money, you're less likely to spend it. Once you know how much you want to tuck away-say 5% or 10% of your after-tax salary-set up an automatic transfer to a separate savings account or investment account as soon as you're paid. Even small amounts count. For instance, $200 a month earning 2% annually will grow to $2,426 after the first year, to $7,424 after the third year, and to $12,625 in just five years. "It will hurt for the first three months, but after that you'll get used to it," says Munch. "It's absolutely pain-free saving."
Take a few minutes every few months to see if you're meeting your savings goals. "If you get a salary increase, add it to your savings," says Franklin. "It shouldn't be an opportunity to spend more."
There's more to saving than cutting your spending and setting aside that money. A host of government programs, for instance, have been set up to help you through almost every stage of your life-you just have to know how to take advantage of them.
If you're saving for your child's education, make sure you're using a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP). Your money grows tax-free and you'll get some generous government grants that will really boost your savings. The Canada Education Savings Grant, for example, can increase your saving by 20%. The Canada Learning Bond is an additional grant for those who qualify: it provides $500 when you first open an RESP. You may also be eligible to receive a $100 Universal Childcare Benefit from the federal government each month for each child under age six.
If you're saving for retirement, consider using a Registered Retirement Savings Plan. The money you contribute to an RRSP is deducted from your gross income, which may reduce the amount of income tax you pay. To get the maximum benefit, you should use your tax refund to boost your savings, either by increasing your emergency fund, paying down your mortgage or putting it back into your RRSP for next year's contribution.
If you're saving for a dream trip, or just a rainy day, consider using a Tax-Free Savings Account. Your savings will grow faster in a TFSA because you're shielded from tax on the growth generated in your account, even when you withdraw the funds. "All these plans-RESPs, RRSPs and TFSAs-are great gifts the government has given investors," says Franklin. "Use them well."
For help on how to make full use of these government programs, speak to an adviser who will help you choose the savings solutions that are right for you.


The introductory course in Design Theory explores themes in architecture and urbanism after World War II focusing on select movements and figures whose work defines the late modernist and post-modernist discourse. Building on ARC 5744/4783 History of Design from the Nineteenth Century to the Present and the previous History I and II courses, Introduction to Theory analyzes specific movements and projects during the decades after the war culminating in the contemporary condition. Significant changes in the social, political and technological conditions prevailing after the war exerted pressures on architectural ideologies and practices emerging around the world. The major themes addressed include: cultural concerns (architect's renewed interest in regionalism and the vernacular and related concerns in sustainable practice); the role of technology in the rapidly growing post-war, post-Fordist economies of consumption; political ideologies (changing strategies of territorialization in the city, decolonization and the crisis of architecture, identity and representation); and the new philosophies and scientific advancements influencing how architects and urban designers shaped the material environment.
The course has two lectures per week and one discussion section every third lecture on alternating weeks: attendance to both is mandatory. This course includes a writing requirement and directs assignments toward helping students develop the necessary skills to analyze, synthesize and communicate ideas in architecture history and theory. Introduction to Theory is a continuation of the history/theory sequence whose aim is to develop students capacity for reflective thinking to ensure that they are able to do research on focused topics and to formulate concepts in architecture clearly in writing. Please note: readings are the basis for lectures and discussion in section and should be completed before lectures. Assignments include weekly one-page questions and a term research project of a 2,500 word paper (Undergraduates) and an analytical model. Graduate students write a 4,000 word paper with an analytical model. The term project is an exhibition titled "Synthetic Ideologies: The Post-War Architecture Machine" and will be done in teams of two students.

What is the book by Nicole Stevens Effective Home Remedies for High Blood Pressure? Does it really work? We are going to review Effective Home Remedies for High Blood Pressure aka the high blood pressure diet.
Nicole Stevens watched for years as her parents and grandparents battled high blood pressure and saw that the medicine they used really didn't work that well. When she hit her 30s she started noticing symptoms in herself of the things her parents and grandparents went through; at which point she started looking for a better way to deal with high blood pressure.
She had countless conversations with doctors, homeopaths, specialist, yoga trainers, personal trainers, and more only to find that the information from each contradicted itself and left her more confused than ever.
At that point she started her own screening methodology and used it on herself first, she has been able to gain better control of her blood pressure, feel better, and do more things than she could before. Since then she has written everything she learned into the Effective Home Remedies for High Blood Pressure book.
An explanation of what high blood pressure (hypertension) is; the pressure of blood flow against the artery walls. If that pressure is too high it will damage the arteries leading to stroke and other health issues that could prove to be fatal.
Who gets high blood pressure? Anyone can have high blood pressure; the majority of people who do have it will not even know that their blood pressure is high until they have their normal checkup at the doctors. Basically 140/90 is considered high.
This book will give you several recommendations of lifestyle changes to help you get your blood pressure under control before or even after you have had to start blood pressure medication. However if you are currently on medication you need to pay attention once you start using the remedies in this book as it is possible for your blood pressure to drop too low which can also cause hazards to your health.
The lifestyle changes in the book consist of diet, exercise, reducing stress, stopping things like smoking, and other bad habits that lead to health issues. I will not give you detailed writings of what is in the book or how you should do the program.
Why the lifestyle changes? As you change your lifestyle and become healthier, your blood pressure will improve and decrease to a more normal level. Exercise will help reduce stress, not smoking or drinking will lower blood pressure, and eating better foods will also lower blood pressure as you will have less cholesterol in your blood that could build up in the arteries. Losing weight will also reduce blood pressure.
Also there are certain foods that can help with lowering or regulating your blood pressure naturally.
Is there a guarantee? You have 60 days to read the book and if you are not satisfied return it for a refund.
Will any of these home remedies harm me? Home remedies or natural remedies should not cause you any harm however we advise you to speak to your doctor before starting any kind of lifestyle change, exercise, diet to make sure you are healthy enough to do those changes.
Should I monitor my own blood pressure while following this program? Yes, even if you are not following this program by Nicole, and have high blood pressure you should monitor your own blood pressure even when it is under control with medication. By checking your blood pressure once every 2 weeks you will know if it is where it should be running allowing you to alert your doctor if it is too low or too high.
Is there anything in the program that could cause an allergic reaction or reaction with my medication? If you have food allergies you will need to stay away from the foods that cause your allergies, while some medications require you to watch your diet you should speak to your pharmacist or health care practitioner about your medication and dietary restrictions.
Is there anything else I should know about regarding this program or book? You will also get some bonus booklets some of which are; 1. Heart-healthy life style! Booklet, 2. Combat the Causes of High Blood Pressure, 3. Know Your Body to Lower Blood Pressure, as well as two others.
The pros are it is all natural the only thing you would really need to be worried about is food allergies. The cost is not terribly expensive. The cons are it may not work for everyone. You won't know until you try it.
I have only just begun so I can't say if it is truly working for me yet however I am feeling more energetic and have been dealing with stress much better. In the 4 weeks I have been doing this my BP has dropped from 155/93 to around 150/90 so I am still working on it but I think even if I still have to take medication in the long run the dose will be much lower if I continue to heed the advice given in this book.
While this approach may not work for everyone I recommend you give it try as it just might work for you or at least lower the dosage of medication you need to take to control your blood pressure.
heartburn no more is an ebook created by Jeff Martin in order to help people defeat their gastrointestinal issues.
The acid reflux disease or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), is caused when the valve entrance to your stomach called LES (lower esophageal sphincter) malfunctions. This causes the acid in the stomach to move up the esophagus causing a burning sensation called heartburn. Treatment for GERD usually ranges from prescription drugs and antacids to surgery depending upon the severity. Most doctors agree that these treatments provide temporary relief but may not provide a permanent solution. Though there are many experts who claim to have natural cures to this disease, Jeff Martin's Heartburn no more solution seems most convincing than the rest.
Jeff Martin, the author of the book "Heartburn No More", is a medical researcher and nutritionist. At age 41, he was diagnosed with GERD and battled hiatal hernia, esophageal reflux and gastritis for more than a decade. He interviewed other GERD sufferers, doctors, homeopaths, naturalist and herbalists. He tried various diets before coming up with a combination of his own creation which cured his acid reflux. He has put his 11 plus years of research into this book, to help other acid reflux sufferers.
This book is available for download from Jeff Martin's official website currently for a price of $47. This book comes with a 60 no-questions-asked 100% refund if you are not satisfied with the results. There are also a number of bonuses worth $313 which come with the book.
Why should I buy this book and not any other making similar claims?
You will get immediate relief for some of the symptoms. Within a couple of days you will see significant change in the way you feel. Within 4-7 weeks (depending on severity) you will be completely cured of you acid reflux problem and start enjoying a healthy and energetic life.
Is this book available in bookstores?
No. This book is currently available only as a downloadable pdf file.
Like most natural treatments, this method too is not a fancy quick fix. It requires you to put in some effort for a few weeks.
As a travelling businessman, I ate a lot of junk food at odd times and drank nearly 8 cups of coffee a day. I guess it was this irregular eating habits lead my digestive tract to breakdown. I would burp constantly, and always feel very bloated. My doctor prescribed some drugs which gave me some temporary relief, but I wanted a permanent solution which did not put a hole through my pocket. One day while waiting at an airport, browsing some sites, I stumbled upon this book, Heartburn no more, and I decided to buy it immediately. This was probably the best investment I have made in my life, as it helped me cure my acid reflux in a matter of few weeks.
Acid reflux when left untreated can lead to other more serious diseases like cancer and may even be fatal. Antacids and other over-the-counter drugs could only make your acid reflux worse. If you have acid reflux this book is worth buying.

My father, who has always been a pillar of support for everyone in our family, suddenly collapsed one day. He was rushed to the hospital. Doctors said he had suffered a heart attack and his blood pressure was abnormally high at 220/150. Food had always been his passion and now he was forced to eat tasteless bland food which he hated. The tablets that he was taking made him dizzy and nauseous. Everyone in the family took it upon themselves to see what could be done to get him back to his normal self. My sister then stumbled upon this amazing book, The Blood Pressure Protocol. We began using this treatment in parallel to his regular medications and immediately began to see the improvement. Within a month, his doctors said he could go off medication.
Blood Pressure Protocol is a legit product based on scientific research. The best thing about it is that it uses herbs and natural food to lower blood pressure. This is better than using another drug with side effects and no guarantee that you would be alright.
My sciatica issues started up from a pretty mundane accident, I was out in the neighborhood and one of my students (I'm a high school teacher) that I have a good mentor-student relationship with invited me to skateboard with him and his friends, despite my protests that I hadn't done a wheelie in years. It all seemed in good fun, so I got the board and proceeded to injure myself when I landed on my back. What I wouldn't realize until later is that a mixture of posture, some neglectful weightlifting, and then this incident all compounded into me developing sciatica.
This was over a year ago, and the pain was absolutely intolerable. At first I just relied on pain medication and yoga/stretches to help temporarily alleviate the symptoms, but it got to the point where I knew I was going to have to deal with my sciatica at its very source if I wanted to be rid of it for good.
This sort of mentality and my willingness to constantly research new treatments (comes with the training you get becoming a teacher) lead to me Glen Johnson's treatment for Sciatica. I'm going to go through as much of the program as I can in order to give an honest review to anyone else considering it.
Sciatic SOS is a pretty new protocol from www.sciaticasos.com, compiled by everyday average man, Glen Johnson. That's right, he's not some sort of doctor nor does he pretend to be one. Instead, at 44 years old ( or "young" as he refers to himself), he mentions that he was diagnosed at age 41 with sciatica. He says his sciatica was keeping him from living a normal life with his wife and son, making him unable to play sports with his son. This program was born from him getting frustrated with his sciatica still hanging on strong despite a few years of chiropractor trips and medications.
I'm going to paraphrase/sum up what the program is in my own words, although if you go their website, a lengthy video from Johnson himself will explain it in his words much better than I can. This video provides audio and video of the book's creator, Glen Johnson, explaining his goal with the program and how it works to treat Sciatica. If you would prefer to read a text version of all the information you can check that out here.
The book is primarily focused on a natural sciatica treatment from the Nepalese people. Glen explains that it wasn't until one of his wife's friends introduced him to her all natural recipe for a certain type of tea that he began to see serious results in his sciatica.
Sciatica SOS comes with the recipe for this tea and an explanation for how exactly it works. And I'm not going to lie, at first, when I read this is sounded a bit unbelievable. I wasn't quite ready to hit the "BS" button yet, but the story of someone foreign is bit of an overused trope. But is it overused because it gives you plausible deniability, or because other nations are less reliant on modern medicine and only use natural cures (which, for them, can be very hit or miss) to solve their ailments?
This treatment revolves around Glen's friend Xie and her natural treatments for sciatica, but it's important to note that she didn't come to him presenting a solution to sciatica. What she offered was a tea that specialized in doing one important thing: relaxing his muscles. At an extremely alarming rate, even (five minutes or so later and his legs were completely relaxed).
Sciatic pain is typically caused by damage to your nervous system, particularly it being overactive. Treatments that can help relax your nerves will therefor be effective in numbing, dulling, or stopping sciatica. However, it's not common to see NATURAL ways of "forcing" your nerves to relax. That's where this program gains an advantage.
Sciatica in and of itself is curable, but how you go about it matters a lot. If you choose to rely on the pharmaceutical companies, you're in it for the long haul. You'll have to keep buying expensive treatments that are designed to only last as long as you keep taking them . Or at least, this is Johnson's central argument in favor of using his program to resolve your sciatica for good through natural methods.
The treatment is designed to release tension in your joints, muscles, tendons, and nerves that are being built up every time you experience jolts of pain caused by sciatica. The medicine aims to heal the afflicted areas, rather than just strengthening the muscles but not fighting the source of pain.
This sort of treatment is very typical of Nepal – whose people typically go for both mental and spiritual benefits in their treatments. Pharmacies are not at all about your spiritual/mental health – rather focusing on just your physical health and even treatment of symptoms rather than causes. Synthetic drugs simply aren't designed to be one stop-shops.
Many women wonder how to deal with a new ovarian cyst after hysterectomy or ovarian cyst after menopause – and if they are smart they are going to want to focus primarily on natural remedies for ovarian cysts. We've created this guide to help you understand exactly what these cysts are, and have compared some of the best ovarian cyst natural treatment options for you to consider looking into to be rid of your condition, quickly and effectively.
The Ovarian Cyst Miracle Guide by Carol Foster.
This is a pretty all encompassing guide that shows you exactly how you can and WHY you can trust in ovarian cyst natural treatment instead of jumping straight to expensive medications and surgical removals. If you want to learn more about it, visit the official site at www.OvarianCystMiracle.com/.
Available for easy pickup on Amazon, these have been known to have some soothing and remedial affects on ovarian cysts, but with varying degrees of success. Not a totally disposable option if you don't mind a dependency on pills.
Now I'm not going to lie, this option is almost four times as expensive as the other options. However, I have seen some people see good results with it. If you have the money to spend and don't want to read into all the natural options or take pills, you can go ahead and check this option out here.
It is true that not every single woman out there may suffer from the ovarian cysts. As such, it is only natural that only a handful of women out there are actually aware of the existence of such a disorder. But then again, what are the ovarian cysts? Well, they can be considered as fluid-filled things that grow inside a woman's ovaries. The ovarian cysts can usually develop in either one or both of a woman's ovaries. Most of the time, however, these cysts are pretty harmless and they will disappear as time passes by. Nevertheless, this does not necessarily mean that women can simply take the ovarian cysts for granted. There are times when the cysts can grow pretty large that they result in rupture or, even worse, ovary damage. This is why it is of utmost importance for women who suffer from the cysts to consider natural cures for ovarian cysts.
Follicular cyst; this is a cyst that emerges when the follicle can't seem to rupture, leading to its inability to release egg during a woman's ovulation period. Instead, the follicle keeps on growing, eventually forming up a cyst.
Corpus luteum cyst; once a woman enters her ovulation period and releases her eggs, the follicle will transform itself into something that is often referred to as the corpus luteum. Now, the corpus luteum cyst emerges when the follicle opening seals off. Because the opening is sealed off, the corpus luteum begins to build up fluid. As a result, it then grows into a cyst.
Dermoid cysts; these are rather complex cysts that originate from the cells which are in charge of producing the human eggs. As such, the cysts can often contain skin, teeth and hair.
Cystadenomas; this cyst grows from a woman's ovarian tissue. It is normally filled with mucous or liquid.
Endometriomas; this is a cyst that forms up at the moment a woman's ovary gets attached to displaced endometrial cells. As a result, a growth is formed and this growth is often known as the endometriosis. Just for information, this particular cyst type is often known as the chocolate cyst as well.
There are often quite a few factors that can trigger the growth of these cysts.
The use of tamoxifen; for those who may not know just yet, the tamoxifen is often used in order to treat breast cancer.
Excessive use of the clomiphene; clomiphene is often associated with the growth of the corpus luteum cysts.
The use of gonadotropins; typically used by women attempting to treat infertility.
Note: These are more tips outside of the solutions we included at the start of this article.
Believe it or not, some women out there have managed to get over their ovarian cysts by exposing themselves to heat. Heat can help reduce the muscular pain or cramps in a woman's abdomen that is often triggered by the ovarian cysts. Just be careful to not overdo it- know your body's limits.
The thing about the chamomile tea is that it has a gentle sedative effect. This effect can really reduce the pain that is felt by a woman who suffers from the ovarian cysts. In addition to that, thanks to its warm nature, the chamomile tea can help control irregular menstrual cycles. The warm nature of the tea stimulates a woman's blood flow in the uterus and pelvic area.
This is one important factor to note. The thing is, after a woman enters menopause, she will become more likely to develop ovarian cancer. This is why it is of utmost importance for women who are in menopause to begin seeing their doctor periodically.
Besides the ovarian cyst after menopause, another thing that a woman should also be concerned about is the ovarian cyst after hysterectomy. It is often the case that a woman will develop a cyst soon after one of these operations. In this case, if the woman suffering from this pain is still considered young she can simply use birth control pills to help eliminate her ovarian cysts. Otherwise, in case the pain persists or worsens, any women out there really should not hesitate at all to go see a doctor. When the pain persists or even becomes worse, this may also be an indication that the woman is also suffering from a urinary tract infection.
And there you have it folks – our recommended natural remedies for ovarian cysts, as well as all the information we have on topics and causes of the cysts such as having an ovarian cyst after menopause or ovarian cyst after hysterectomy. Hopefully you'll see now that ovarian cyst natural treatment is entirely possible and pretty easy to do yourself with the right tools.

Before we get started, here are some of the diabetes treatment programs we've tried and seen good success with as far as reducing/eliminating symptoms goes.
1. The Diabetes Destroyer (ebook/pdf) This is a very detailed guide to getting diabetes under control, aimed at both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics. It was created by David Andrews and I personally found it to be extremely informative and instructional as far as getting blood sugar levels back under control, as well as increasing energy and making diabetes overall easier to manage. It also helps you construct a diabetic diet and lifestyle to try and aleviate diabetes symptoms as best as you can naturally. The official website, which features a video presentation for more information, is http://diabetesdestroyer.com.
2. Metformin (oral pill) This is a pretty common diabetes medications that can be easy enough to pick up from your doctor. It's designed to help control your blood sugar levels. I've found that this was pretty effective, but the probably is that it's a medicine so like all medicines, eventually you run out. Being too dependent on Metformin can lead to you falling into a pitfall as far as your money goes, depending entirely on medications to try and get your symptoms under control instead of giving natural methods a solid chance.
3. The ADA Diet The ADA diet was created by the American Diabetes Association to combat diabetes symptoms, and while I think it has merit it has come under fire recently for being ineffective in many people. I still recommend you look into it though, because you never know what might work for you that didn't work for others.
Now that you've seen what works to fight symptoms, time for us to get into the symptoms of diabetes themselves.
Perhaps the most common form of disease in humans is Diabetes which is characterized by high blood sugar levels in the body over a long period of time. It is considered to be an insulin deficiency syndrome where either the body (specifically pancreas) does not produce enough insulin or the cells lose their ability to respond to the insulin produced which is in turn responsible for controlling sugar levels in blood.
Diabetes mellitus, or simply Diabetes, can cause serious complications in our body leading to strokes, chronic kidney failure and can even prove to be fatal if left untreated. While these can be categorized among the long-term complications, acute complications include diabetic ketoacidosis and nonketotic hyperosmolar coma. The former is defined as a condition in which the body starts burning fatty acids and produces acidic ketone bodies due to shortage of insulin which leads to severe complications ultimately leading to untimed death.
Nonketotic hyperosmolar coma is different from diabetic ketoacidosis in terms of fat burning and rather leads to acute dehydration followed by coma and finally death. Diabetes can be branched into three types in terms of cause and symptoms. Type 1 diabetes is caused by the failure of pancreas to produce enough insulin for the body while Type 2 diabetes results from the unresponsive nature of cells towards insulin.
Both of these types can be branched into hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia which are characterized by very low blood glucose level and very high blood glucose level, respectively. The third type known as gestational diabetes occurs mostly in pregnant woman without a diabetic history. When diabetes assumes bigger role in degrading our body, immediate medical attention is required to prevent any possibility of terminal illness.
However if detected during the first stages through some basic symptoms, it can easily be fought off by following certain precautions and counter-measures that have been prescribed by doctors and researchers all over the world. We shall now discuss about these symptoms and how to prevent them individually in order to prevent diabetes in the long run.
One of the classic symptoms of diabetes mellitus is diabetes fatigue which causes excessive tiredness and exhaustion. Although fatigue can be caused by both hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia, the source of cause is a bit different. When fatigue is caused due to low glucose levels it results in lack of enough energy to perform a task, i.e. the cells do not get to work well with the low sugar level. On the other hand when fatigue is caused by high glucose levels in the blood, it results in preventing the cells from getting enough nutrients and oxygen for metabolism as high sugar level slows down blood circulation. Stress can be also be the cause of diabetes fatigue as it leads to increase in blood glucose level, may cause inflammation and can even trigger increase in heart rate which makes the heart work more leading to exhaustion. However it can controlled and prevented. The first step lies in treating your diabetes by eating healthy foods and fruits that are low on sugar but high on other essential nutrients. Also having proper sleep and regular short naps can lower down the very cause of fatigue. Reducing stress and having regular tea can also be considered as prompt measures for fatigue treatment.
Diabetes has been known to cause nausea due to abnormal glucose levels in the blood. Nausea can be characterized as some irritation or uneasiness in the stomach which may lead to vomiting. In order to prevent diabetes nausea one needs to drink fluids having enough carbohydrates in order to keep the body metabolism running as well as to prevent dehydration which is often associated with nausea. However acute diabetes nausea is caused by diabetic ketoacidosis which requires immediate medical attention and if left untreated may lead to coma and finally death as mentioned before. It is thus advisory to perform an insulin check every 3-4 hours along with a ketone level test to ensure that the levels are not crossed. And if unfortunately it happens then seeking the help of a doctor and getting admitted to the hospital is the best you can do to keep yourself safe from complications.
One shocking diabetes indicator is diabetes hair loss which is known to be caused mainly due to Type 2 diabetes. When the insulin in our body isn't used effectively as it should, it leads to increase in the blood sugar levels. This inadvertently causes damage to the blood vessels which carry important nutrients throughout the body for nourishment. With the same reason in effect, the blood vessels fail to carry enough oxygen to the hair follicles leading to their malnourishment and as a result our scalp starts losing hair due to abnormal growth cycle. It has also been recorded that hair loss doesn't only occur from our scalp, but we may also lose facial hairs and even hair under arms. Diabetes can also cause another hair loss disease known as alopecia areata which causes patches of hair loss instead of complete loss. Adjusting diet, taking proper medicines and intaking biotins can regularize the blood flow and lessen the damage caused to the hair follicles. The hormonal imbalance caused by diabetes can lead to hair loss during pregnancy but it can be prevented by seeking medical attention. Also the drugs prescribed for treating diabetes should be monitored because they can also be the reason behind the diabetes hair loss.
As we have discussed above, diabetes can be initially treated during the first stages by taking care of the diabetes early symptoms. If you experience fatigue, nausea, hair loss and some other uneasiness then you might consider giving a thorough check-up of your blood sugar levels in order to make sure that they are within the prescribed levels. It should always be considered that treating the diabetes early symptoms is the key to prevent the harmful effects and sever complications of diabetes. It is thus rightly said, Prevention is better than cure.

Other Diabetes Treatment Books we've reviewed: 7 Steps to Health, Diabetes Destroyer, Reverse Diabetes Today.
This isn't the first diabetes treatment system we've reviewed on our site at all. We're getting used to the requests however, so we don't mind continuing to do them. By now, most people are aware that we've rated the Diabetes Destroyer and 7 Steps to Health and the Big Diabetes Lie among some of the top treatments that will show a serious reduction in your symptoms if you follow their protocol. The question is whether or not Traverso's book also fits the bill.
What is the Reverse Diabetes Book?
As stated above, the book was created by Mr. Matt Traverso. This book is his answer to diabetes treatment, with his goal being to shy away from people having to be reliant on repeat purchases of diabetes drugs in order to see continued improvement in their health. He compiled information on the disease into a one-stop shop in which you could figure out exactly what steps you need to take if you want to see improvement in your symptoms through natural/holistic methods, primarily diet and exercise. In order to make sure people had an easy time, he provided a complete lay-out of what one needs to do in order to see a reversal in their conditions as soon as possible – so easy (according to him) that you can get started "now" as soon as you get the book.
Matt Traverso is an esteemed medical professional, and he even has his own website dedicated to his research and programs. Unfortunately, the website ( matttraverso.com) is entirely in Italian. He does have a specialization in diabetes however, and seems to have come to the same conclusion as many majorly respected Diabetes Gurus have – Diet is the key to treating diabetes without being overly reliant on drugs.
We should also mention that this particular treatment is so successful that it's hosted on Amazon, which we used to help gauge costumer response to it. However, the Amazon version of the book is now outdated and a bit more expensive, so if you want a cheaper discount on the updated version of book you're going to want to continue reading down.
Reverse Diabetes Today has a easy-to-follow layout, so I'll explain how the book progresses. That's the most revealing I can be about the content.
Pharmaceutical companies – the book warms you up to trying the methods by stating why this isn't the sort of thing your Doctor would have told you, which makes complete sense the way Traverso breaks it down. Basically, their main source of income is through the prolonged, recurring sales of their drugs that are designed to only help you maintain your current condition as far as Diabetes goes.
Diet is what Traverso presents as the main solution, since our bodies are effectively made of what we eat. He attributes the very development of diabetes (pre-diabetes specifically) to eating foods that slowly lead to a breakdown of your internal organs, particularly the pancreas. The pancreas creates the Beta cells that are responsible for producing insulin, so with sustained damage it begins to lose this ability.
Through using this treatment system, you focus on restoring your internal organs (once again with a focus on the pancreas) to the state they were in before they began to take sustained damage.
Because of the nature of this method, it's clear that this book is aimed specifically at Type-2 Diabetics, rather than Type 1s.
The PDF is easy to follow and has a completely logical progression to get you to understand exactly what Traverso is telling you and why he is telling you it. You won't have to question what the reason is he's suggesting something.
The "now" part kicks in when you adopt the diet, which will provide immediate relief of common type 2 and pre-diabetic symptoms such as tingling and fluctuation in blood sugar levels.
If you're not open to changing your diet, you're going to have a bad time. This method is pretty much focused on using food to cure you.
As we said above, the book is indeed available on Amazon but it's more expensive and outdated in that version. If you want the update version (with our free coupon code already thrown in for you) just press the button below.
The purchase will take place through Clickbank, which is a particularly large online product retailer. This means that only quality eBooks are allowed to be hosted on their site, and you get the added bonus of a 60 day money-back guarantee when you purchase anything through them. If you aren't happy with Traverso's treatment, simply return the book through CB.
Reverse Diabetes Today definitely stands up among the other Diabetes treatments we've reviewed on this site. It keeps things very simple for the reader by focusing primarily on the diet aspect of fighting diabetes, rather than exploring the commonly connected exercise/workout part of it (which can be another beast entirely if you're not already used to living an active lifestyle). The book is extremely informative and can help you make great decisions for your general health as well as diabetes for months and years to come after you read it. Congratulations to Matt Traverso for nailing it with his guide.
As you guys know, we here at SteamSpoils are not afraid to deliver a negative review if we are suggested to review a product and find it…unsatisfactory to say the least. And I have to say, that as far as this program goes…. This is not the case. I'm not sure how Joe Barry did it, but he managed to coin the ideal system for fighting off panic attacks and anxiety in general. This is my real review of Panic Away after having been an anxiety sufferer since puberty. It's quite debilitating to live with constant uncontrollable fear despite trying various anxiety and panic attack treatment systems over the past 8 years of my life. I know it's hard to find real reviews today, so I'll try and keep it as impartial as possible.
Is Panic Away for Me?
If so, then it's definitely worth at least reading over our review to see if the program merits more of your time.
Panic Away is a program developed by Joe Barry, full name Barry Joe McDonagh (more on him below). He created this program to help people around the world deal with their anxiety and avoid panic attacks – a subject that he is personally attuned to because he himself found that he was prone to these issues since he was young. His hatred of his powerless lead him down the path of finding natural ways to treat himself without having to depend on expensive medications.
Panic Away is very decently detailed, containing more than 70 chapters and even some sub-chapters, although the sub-chapters are brief and just serve to supplement the book without harming its readability. Panic is focused on how the way to approach anxiety isn't with the mentality that you have to "fight" or overcome" it. Instead, Barry's approach is that you have to realize your feelings aren't your enemy, and need to be embraced in order to stop them from being so cumbersome. It sounds a bit crazy at first, but it's this type of unorthodox approach that I believe makes the system so effective.
are likely to learn from the program, so as to give you a glimpse of it.
Each stage is given its own chapters and explanations, in-depth instructions on how to utilize each step, and real life case studies and testimonies as to how and why each step is important. The purpose of these stages is to get past the mentality of "relieving the symptoms" and instead getting to the core issues. Through this stage system, you target the very reasons you are having your anxiety or panic attacks and work towards a long-term solution. Barry believes that the solution is all in the mind.
Barry's Anxiety Treatment also utilizes a 21/7 technique. This means that you do a 21-second countdown, and then engage in a 7-second exercise. This system allows you to practice your exercises anywhere and everywhere, which can actually be a negative against the program if you're big into making excuses for not improving. Seriously, this program made it impossible for me to not spend all of my freetime working to improve my anxiety. These exercises are both physical and mental to engage in stimulating various ways in which people learn the best. Also included among these methods are visualization, affirmation, and breathing techniques.
Real panic away review taken from their site.
Written is an extremely easy to understand structure that has managed to strike the perfect balance between "informative" and "to-the-point".
No Filler content in the book. Everything is connected, nothing is mentioned that doesn't have meaning or a purpose.
Did I mention that I used this system? Because I did, and I saw great success after YEARS of trying anxiety treatments. I promised I would keep this review neutral…and I did it extremely well for most of it.
Real Life examples for when you can apply certain techniques are provided which only serves to make it easier to relate to the program and begin to implement its methods immediately.
There is a 60-day money back guarantee if the book does not seem to work for you.
The look of a woman with anxiety, a face I know all too well.
Mr. Barry makes claims that can not ALL be validated. He promises that the techniques can work for everybody with no exceptions, which is an extremely strong claim for anyone to make in any situation. I'm not so sure about that one! There are no guarantees with ANY treatment.
The book is definitely skewed more towards personal anecdotes and examples than it is scientifically proven information. I know the science is solid from trying the book, but the average reader won't trust it and honestly has no reason to. Weak point for Barry.
Barry has a lot of confidence in this program, which results in him offering no back-up plan in case it doesn't work for someone. So either you like his program and it works, or you don't and you get your money back and are stuck without a cure for anxiety or a cure for panic attacks. I've been in that world and I'd prefer if others didn't have to remain in it.
This anxiety treatment system is available off of Joe Barry's website. You can get it for a fraction of the price other people have to pay though, because you know I had to hook you p. You can snag it easily enough by clicking the button below. You can pay using VISA, American Express, Discover, MasterCard, or PayPal.
This ebook is available in two different versions. You can purchase both the ebook version or the hard-copy version.
All Clickbank products are given a 60 day return policy. If you decide you don't like the program, you can just get a refund.
So what is the verdict of this review? Is it a scam? No, Not at all. Through using the program, I was able to finally conquer my paralyzing anxiety issues that I've suffered from for far too long, and I no longer have to worry about panic attacks. This book is worth every penny, and has some serious power in it. If you were on the fence and my personal testimony got you to try it out, please comment below and update me on your progress. It's a great thing to finally conquer anxiety and panic attacks and I'd love to share in your feelings.

Brimeyer has dedicated his life to finding remedies for various chronic health issues that are prevalent in our country, especially since he and his family have a history of a few themselves. Therefore, diseases such as Hypothyroidism are right up his ally he sought to address by targeting its underlying causes. In order to do so effectively, he designed his program to help people treat their disease with changes in their life and diet, rather than depending on medications (which often often have side-effects and require prescriptions).
As you can expect, Hypothyroidism Revolution is focused on giving you up-to-date information about your disease, because knowledge is power. As I mentioned in the first part of the review, there are fifteen chapters including in the program.
