Riteish Deshmukh: Each tree belongs to citizens as much as to govt
Ritesh Deshmukh takes a stand in the wake of the cutting of trees at Aarey for Metro 3 car shed
Amidst the ongoing protests against cutting trees in Mumbai's Aarey Colony to build a Metro rail yard, actor Riteish Deshmukh shared his views on the situation, saying "we all need sustainable urbanization and cutting off old trees is certainly not the solution to handle the situation". "Well, I think in a democratic country, every citizen has a right to protest and I firmly believe that each tree belongs to us, citizen, as much as it belongs to the government. Whether it is I and our colleagues from the film industry, we are firmly expressing our opinion on the deforestation of Aarey Colony. It is sad.
"It is really sad that after the court gave the order, without even waiting for 15 days, they have just cut 2000 trees already…I understand the importance of urbanization. But what will we do with that development if it is not sustainable for people to breathe clean air,"
Emphasizing on the rapid urbanization that the state of Maharashtra is going through, the 'Housefull' actor added: "I am not saying that every building that is there in the city is eco-friendly, but building developers are working towards it because we have started a conversation around it. We have to create awareness and that is important for starting the process."
According to Riteish, "it is the responsibility of everyone who is getting a chance to develop a piece of land for people, that it has to be eco-friendly and in tune with nature."
"You as a human being need to breathe clean air and without nature, you cannot get that…Sustainable development is important," mentioned the actor who along with his wife Genelia Deshmukh came together as brand ambassador for the Kavya Group Project 'Grandeur'.
The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) started cutting the trees for building the Metro rail yard after the Bombay high court dismissed petitions challenging the felling of 2,464 trees from Aarey colony.
"By ruining green carpet, what kind of developing nation are we giving our future generation? Yes, we are saying that we will plant 20,000 trees but how many of them will survive? These trees are here at the Aarey colony for 100 years. Today we plant trees and tomorrow we cut them again, that is not how it works. Planting trees is not always the solution, retaining old trees and green carpet is important," he added.
The Supreme Court on Monday prohibited cutting of any more trees in Mumbai's Aarey colony and directed the Maharashtra government to maintain status quo till October 21, the next date of hearing.

Q: Changing Appmaker deployment owner Is there any way to change the deployment owner of an Appmaker application?
The person who has created Appmaker applications for our organization is leaving, and we need to have new owners for the deployments. The options for exporting data, viewing logs, publishing and editing deployment details (e.g. admins) are only available to the deployment owner, so managing the deployment is close to impossible without the deployment owner.
Also, I'm wondering what will happen when the account of the deployment owner's account is deleted. Does the deployment disappear or is it just a deployment without an owner?
Could a Google admin transfer the ownership, even though it is not possible for the normal user?
If you have any other suggestions on how to deal with this problem, I'm happy to hear them out.
EDIT: I have tried transferring the Appmaker file to a different owner but that has no effect on the deployments.

In this test we examine the consistency of a sample of bitumen by determining the distance in tenths of a millimetre that a standard needle vertically penetrates the bitumen specimen under known conditions of loading, time and temperature. This is the most widely used method of measuring the consistency of a bituminous material at a given temperature. It is a means of classification rather than a measure of quality.
It measures the hardness or softness of bitumen by measuring the depth in tenths of a millimeter to which a standard loaded needle will penetrate vertically in 5 seconds.
Heat the sample until it becomes fluid.
Pour it in a container to a depth such that when cooled, the depth of sample is at least 10mm greater than the expected penetration.
Allow it to cool in an atmospheric temperature.
Clean the needle and place a weight above the needle.
Use the water bath to maintain the temperature of specimen.
Mount the needle on bitumen, such that it should just touch the surface of bitumen.
Then start the stop watch and allow the penetration needle to penetrate freely at same time for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds stop the penetration.
Result will be the grade of bitumen.
Take at least three reading.
Penetration test is used to measure the consistency of bitumen, so that they can be classified into standard grades. Greater value of penetration indicates softer consistency. Generally higher penetration bitumen is preferred for use in cold climate and smaller penetration bitumen is used in hot climate areas.
The bitumen is softened to a pouring consistency, stirred thoroughly and poured into containers at a depth at least 15 mm in excess of the expected penetration.
In hot climates, a lower penetration grade is preferred.

"International Christmas Child" a Gift of Love That Keeps Giving
It is unusual, but I think this is what it feels like to love the world; to place the hope for our future on our children, believing that they can succeed where we have failed. "Matthew Todd"
Matthew & Nathan Todd
Each year when I ponder what the Christmas Article should contain, I always consider what will make the greatest impact or best benefit the young artists represented and promoted through this site.
With Christmas being a time of giving, I could not think of a greater example of young artists using their talents to help make a difference in the world than the "INTERNATIONAL CHRISTMAS CHILD" project.
This CD project spearheaded by a band of brothers from Scotland is a great example of adults helping "Children helping Children". I asked Matthew and Nathan Todd to share a little about this project with Rivenmaster's Place and provide insight about each participating young artists.
Matthew shared;
"I'm coming round to the belief that, just as adults all have an unwritten responsibility to support and nurture children, children have an unwritten responsibility of reminding adults what is important in life. They do this, often, simply by being themselves."
Matthew and Nathan Todd have been running projects for a few years now, all with the goal 'to inspire and transform'. What could be more inspirational and transformational, they thought, than an album of children singing to help children? What they could not know was, if any would join them in their quest……….
Matthew went on to explain;
"One word could sum up the whole month of October for us: "Apprehension". The messages were sent out to artists and their managers on October 12 and we awaited the responses. We were asking for a track from about 16 artists which could be included on a compilation album raising funds for Operation Christmas Child. Then the drama began! After several weeks of language barriers, messages going to fake accounts, communications being lost in cyber-space and time rapidly running out, we arrived with 14 young artists buzzing with enthusiasm and ready to submit."
The process that followed getting the tracks mastered, artwork made, albums duplicated, website up and promotion started would take pages to describe but, suffice to say, Nathan and I spent many sleepless nights (and days!) at our computers in every spare moment. Nathan being a full time student and a partner in GN Todd (web development), was literally working around the clock, meanwhile I was trying to communicate with 14 different artists, often in languages I spoke very badly or not at all! Then our brother Phil came on board to make our promo video and our cousin Tom got involved with promotion. A generous friend of my fiancé agreed to translate our press release into French, and a professional media consultant got us an article in the Herald. This was becoming bigger every day!
I remember walking into our little Glasgow flat (aka 'The Ladz Fortress') about 11pm on a cold November night after a hard day of teaching and choir directing, and seeing Nathan working on the website, Phil (visiting) editing the promo video and Tom working on an animation for our logo. I sat down to answer a message from France and had to stop to think out loud: 'this is awesome!' "Nobody told me that making a difference would be this much work, but nobody told me it would be this exciting and fulfilling either!"
The Album:
Our biggest challenge is that people are so bombarded with advertising, especially at this time of year, getting someone to buy something is a real challenge. We in the Western world have also become quite emotionally numb, finding it hard to trust big charities or organizations and no longer believing that buying one CD or even one track on iTunes really can make a difference. To be honest, we are still a long way off our goal which was to raise £2500 (over $4000) for Operation Christmas Child though we are over half way there, but there are other goals which have exceeded our expectations. Every young artist on the album went out of their way to promote the album and some even made personal videos to recommend it to their fans.
There is no currency for inspiration and yet, without it, the whole world could one day just decide to give up. As I promote these young artists, watch them sing and see them sharing their gifts with such passion and enthusiasm I feel a strange tug on my heart-strings. How is it that I can feel a sense of pride and joy in children that are not related to me and, most, not even from my country? It is unusual, but I think this is what it feels like to love the world; to place the hope for our future on our children, believing that they can succeed where we have failed. And, like my God who loved the world so much he wanted to give the best Christmas present anyone could give, it inspires me to give my all to make the world a better place."

'The Fable of Forsaken': A Dream Made Reality
"Do you know what it means to be alone?"
Watch Gaitway Brothers in their new Music Video
When I first introduced "Gaitway Brothers" I knew that these two youngsters had something very special to offer the world. With their award winning smiles, captivating charm, mischievous and adventurous spirit, coupled with their (brothers forever) care for each other, I instantly knew that this was the beginning of a great musical duo.
Of course in the beginning they were just starting to work on their singing voices. They sang all their songs in unison which was lovely, but required some harmonies to really make it come alive. It was not long after meeting their vocal coach that I learned that this was going to be the next step for the boys through their lessons. To my delight, the very next song they produced included harmonies which were surprisingly and remarkably done.
The boys sing and record songs which not only lighten your spirit but bring a touch of their homeland with every offering. Perhaps for some, their music may be a little foreign, but for most who enjoy young treble music it is very much in step to the kind of music made famous by the likes of Libera.
So what has happened since all this? Plenty! The boys are now on their way to a great and exciting future not only in the recording industry but also as young actors.
Last month after finding out about a new project which included both Steven and Peter, I contacted Matthew Todd their vocal coach, and also the author of the screenplay for a new film entitled "The Fable of Forsaken". I asked Mr. Todd to tell us the full story behind the concept, creation, and making of this new film which is sure to bring winning reviews from all who love Independent Films.
The following was shared directly by the extremely talented Musician, Vocalist, Composer, and Author Matthew Todd.
"It all started in April 2014 when my brothers, Nathan and Philip, and I were having one of those rare late-night chats where inspiration flows like a waterfall! As an emerging actor and film-maker, nothing excites Phil more than making films. As a lover of stories and a working musician, I am never happier than when I can get my teeth into a creative project. And Nathan, with a host of technical skills, just loves to make things happen! We were raring to go. We had collaborated on many smaller projects in the past, but we all felt the time had come to embark on a true 'passion project': to make a film that we wanted to make. The risk was huge. Many have tried, many have failed miserably… Were we just being naive and foolish?
We are all avid Tolkien fans and are excited by epic adventures and heroic characters so the "Lord of the Rings" movies have always been a big inspiration. Also, recently we had the honor of meeting director, Roger Christian, at a screening of his short film 'Black Angel' which was set and shot in Scotland. We were hugely encouraged by his words to us and convinced that Scottish film could be so much more than it is now. We are all so sick of seeing visually brilliant films which are let down by weak story-lines and unconvincing characters. We hungered for something deeper, and something that showed that Scotland could produce films that were not dominated by drugs and thugs. So Phil set me a challenge that I could not turn down: 'write me a story, and we will make it into a film'! The Fellowship had begun their quest!

ART FIX: Students of inspirational artist show their work
A group of local painters taught by one of the Harbour Gallery's "most loved artists" are exhibiting their work in St. Aubin, showing how much influence he has had on them.
Every Friday, Express presents a selection of online and offline exhibitions, performances, workshops, events and other historic and creative content to help islanders get their weekly dose of culture.
Here's this week's selection...
'In A Dark Place the Eye Begins to See'
Pictured: The artists with Graham Tovey and James Cunningham Davis from Abaris Chartered Accountants.
Four years ago, local artist Graham Tovey, "one of The Harbour Gallery Jersey's most loved artists and such a good friend and supporter", started a painting group following requests from the gallery's regular visitors. Among Graham's students were novice painters as well as some who had stopped practising their skills.
"It was just lovely," Gallery Director Pat Robson said. "He would discuss their work and their ideas with them. It was a really relaxed group but very productive."
After Graham sadly suffered a major stroke nearly two years ago, his 'ladies' were eager to carry on developing their work and decided to continue meeting on a Monday.
"It is such a positive group, they inspire each other," Pat said.
Pictured: "It's all totally different, they all have different styles," Pat Robson said.
Six months ago, the group, composed of Linda Rose Parkes, Liz Adams, Julia Coutanche, June Gould, Joey Brown, Carole Elizabeth Parkes and Michele Snape, decided to exhibit their work at the Harbour Gallery.
"In A Dark Place the Eye Begins to See", sponsored by Abaris Chartered Accountants, opens to the public today and will continue until 2 November. Graham was able to visit the group earlier this week and see the exhibition, a reunion which Pat said was "really moving".
Pictured: The exhibition presents the work of Graham Tovey's seven students.
"You can see how Graham has been an influence on their work," Pat added. "It's all totally different, they all have different styles, but you can see how he has helped them, even without touching the canvas, simply by talking to them about the use of colours, the use of positive and negative space.
"Their work has really come leaps and bounds."
The exhibition will be supporting Jersey Cheshire Homes, who are currently caring for Graham, with collection boxes.
Reptile Rescue in Mauritius
Durrell recently released a short documentary on the emergency rescue mission that took place in Maurititus in July, when the MV Wakashio freighter ran aground just a few kilometres from nature reserves and national parks causing 1,000 tonnes of fuel oil to spill.
The documentary, created by Freedom Media, includes footage from the emergency rescue as well as interviews with local conservationists.
The mission aimed to "rescue the future" of three reptile species - lesser night geckos, Bojer's skinks and Bouton's skinks.
All three species are unique to the offshore islands of Mauritius and serve an important role within the ecosystem as predators or prey of other threatened animals, but also as pollinators and seed dispersers of rare plant species.
Over the last 14 years, Durrell, the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation (MWF), National Parks and Conservation Service (NPCS), and the Forestry Service have been working to rebuild the reptile communities on these islands – a work that was threatened by the oil spill.
All 66 rescued animals have now been brought to Jersey and are being cared for by herpetologists to ensure that they and their offspring can be returned to the wild in the future.
"We always work in partnership and this film really tells the story of just how many people were involved in ensuring these Mauritian reptiles were urgently rescued from immediate danger and bought to Jersey, where our team of captive breeding experts can care for them. I am so grateful to everyone who worked so hard to make this happen," Dr Lesley Dickie, Durrell CEO, said.
"Without swift intervention, the impact of the Wakashio oil spill could have caused irreversible damage and pushed the reptiles closer to extinction. Co-ordinating this mission was no small undertaking and there were many challenges along the way. We really couldn't have done it without the generous support of the Jean Boulle Group, who enabled the transport of these animals, and Ports of Jersey, who have been so supportive in handling all the complex aviation logistics."
'Beholding brings becoming'
In 2019, local photographer Anna Houiellebecq travelled through Nepal and was "astounded" by the beauty of the country and the people who called it home.
She fell in love straight away and decided to capture a series of photographs which are currently exhibited at the Link Gallery, in "a visual display of people and communities that have a story to be shared".
"I use my skills in photography to document the people and places I see throughout my travels," Anna said. "I love meeting and getting to know people from different backgrounds and cultures, and believe they all have something powerful and unique to share.
"My aim with photography is to become a story teller. I strive to see the beauty in the places and people that I meet, and to listen and to learn from my experiences."
50% of all profit made through the exhibition, will go to Five14, an adventure company that aims at preventing exploitation through ethical business.
On a late summer's day, members of local poetry group, La Poèt'tie, met at Howard Davis Park to share and perform original poetic pieces.
Set up by Juliette Hart and Stefan Le Marquand last year, the group - whose name means "collective of poets, a place where poets gather, a place where poetry is made" – meets monthly and welcomes any local wordsmith.
ArtHouse Jersey Presents has shared a video of their recent 'leafy' encounter. The video includes a playboy's laments, a "wee poem about Scotland", a "Capitalist Meditation", as well as a Brexit-themed parody of Robert Browning's 'Home Thoughts, from Abroad' and a poem in Jèrriais about a seagull (mauve).
Aerial photographer reaches new heights
An aerial shot of Jersey Airport's Rescue and Firefighting Service at work on a simulated aircraft fire as earned Marc Le Cornu of Bam Perspectives first place in the documentary category of the Aerial Photography Awards.
"Capturing the power of the water monitors and the skills of the firefighters was a great opportunity and I hope it is a small way of celebrating our local firefighters!" Marc, who spent three decades in the fire service, said.
"As an ex-firefighter myself, it was good to be back alongside the flames! Hope you like these shots as much as I enjoyed capturing them!"
Marc's snap of the Triathlon start and of a boat also got third place in the Sports category and a special mention in the Transportation category respectively.

The Illicits "FEEL IT"
(Artist Bio) | September 26, 2022
A riled-up slice of rip-roaring modern rock, "Feel It" sees The Illicits stride back into the spotlight — paying homage to their northern roots while forging their fiery own path. Blending an earworm bluesy riff with the progressive rock'n'roll sound they've become known for, the voltaic new cut has the Blackburn foursome barrelling towards a hopeful new horizon.
Recorded at OX4 Studios and produced by Vince Von Van, the track blends strutting guitar work with incendiary riffs and a riotous live-ready feel. Fusing meticulous musicianship with anarchic rock sensibilities, "Feel It" was written at the band's rehearsal room in Blackburn and takes inspiration from the landscape of their hometown.
Speaking about the new song Joe Mitchell says:
"The stomping rhythm and punk production helps conjure up familiar Lancashire moods: cold early morning walks, rain-soaked shoes and slow, clattering commutes on buses and trains. The lyrics centre around how the people around us speak — 'but you have to keep on' is a well-known Lancastrian phrase, despite modern day life struggles. There are also references to local landmarks such as Winter Hill, and a natural rebelliousness against those who have let the industries around them fall and decline."
An assured next step for a band already certain in their own sound, the four-piece's dynamic take on "terrace punk" brings the post-industrial imagery of their own northern towns to the fore, and glints with the optimism of a rising young band determined to keep moving forward.
The Illicits are George Richards (vocals), Brad Hayes (lead guitar), Joe Mitchell (bass) and Matt Cottam (drums). With "Feel It" arriving as their fourth single to date, the four-piece have already amassed a cult following with their electric live shows in their hometown and beyond. As well as support slots with the likes of Liam Gallagher, Primal Scream, DMA's, The Zutons and Miles Kane, the Blackburn band have performed live on Soccer AM and appeared on both BBC North West Tonight and Steve Lamacq's show on BBC 6 Music.
The band have also amassed praise from the likes of Gigslutz, Northern Exposure, Louder Than War and Dork, with the latter commending "there's a lot going on, and a lot more to come." Making a stir with a run of earlier singles released on sold-out vinyl-only runs via Alan McGee's Creation 23 label, raucous rock track "Left Behind" also featured Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones.
With their first headline show at Blackburn's Electric Church selling out before they'd so much as released a single, The Illicits will be heading back to the hometown venue for another packed out show this October. The band will also be hitting the road for shows in Nottingham and London over the Autumn, as well as playing a slot at Glasgow's First Wave Festival.

TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2014--THE FORGER Send This Review to a Friend
TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2014--THE FORGER
As caper movies go, this is a pretty good one, thanks mainly to its performances. "The Forger," directed by Philip Martin from a screenplay by Richard D'Ovidio and showcased at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival, is not to be confused with the recently released "Art and Craft," a documentary about a famous art forger. Martin's film, starring John Travolta, is set up as suspenseful thriller clearly in the caper genre.
What gives "The Forger" initial credibility is the reason why Travolta as Ray Cutter, a forger, thief and convict, gets involved in the basic scheme. His son Will, played by Tye Sheridan, is stricken with cancer and his dad urgently wants early release from prison to spend time with the lad. To accomplish this, he makes a devil's bargain with a criminal who can pull strings to get him out of prison more quickly.
Cutter's assignment is to paint a convincing replica of Monet's "Woman with Parasol" that can be replaced for the original to be stolen from the museum where it is hung in a Boston museum. Travolta is in good acting form, and there is another appealing performance by a grizzled Christopher Plummer as Cutter's colorful, wily father, who has a myriad of connections that will come prominently into play as the complicated plot details evolve. Another key role is played by Abigail Spencer as an undercover agent who is keeping tabs on the illicit doings. As required, "The Forger" is filled with assorted other character types.
Cutter's challenge is to extricate himself in one piece and not be sent back to prison. As any caper fan knows, there will be twists and turns that one doesn't want explained before seeing the movie. Truth be told, this is not one of the greatest of caper films, but it is a very human one that is intriguing to watch on its own terms. And it is a good showcase for its leading actors. Reviewed October 5, 2014


Excessive flatulence, bloating, constipation or diarrhoea, burping, a feeling of heaviness or nausea after meals, lack of appetite for meat or a desire to eat despite having a full stomach, heartburn, reflux, and a sour aftertaste in the mouth are just some of the symptoms of insufficient stomach acid. If you also suffer from allergies, psoriasis, or malabsorption, have observed recurring rashes, are underweight or obese, have brittle nails, hair loss or undigested food in your stool, it most likely means that your stomach is secreting too little stomach acid.
There may be several reasons for this phenomenon. One of the most common is the use of antibiotics or antacids, and the use of substances such as alcohol or cigarettes. Of course, what and how we eat is also of great importance. Highly processed, sugary foods and fast foods have a very negative effect on the whole digestive tract. The type of diet and lifestyle are also important. Vegetarian and vegan diets, which have a high consumption of grains, don't require as much digestive juices to be produced as diets that include meat. Low secretion of hydrochloric acid is also seen in people under a lot of stress, in whom its release is blocked by hormones.
The most-important role of the stomach is the initial digestion of protein and fats, as well as sterilisation of food by maintaining an adequately low pH of gastric juices (1.5 to 2.5), which destroys microbes such as bacteria, viruses and parasite eggs.
Proper acidification of the stomach is necessary for it to function properly. A lack of stomach acid causes problems with proper digestion of meat, fish, eggs, dairy products and vegetables, in particular legumes and raw vegetables. If not digested, protein stays behind in the stomach and ferments – hence the feeling of being overly full, bloated or gassy. Decreased stomach acidity doesn't allow you to completely digest food, which then remains and rots in the gastrointestinal tract, negatively affecting the whole body. It results in inflammation, which damages the mucosa and intestinal villi leading to leaky gut. In addition, when the pH of gastric juices is too high, the production of pepsin, which is the enzyme responsible for the initial digestion of protein, is impaired. Undigested proteins are dangerous if you have a leaky gut, causing and intensifying various allergies and autoimmune diseases. At a pH above 5, bacteria such as helicobacter pylori start multiplying in the stomach; these bacteria are associated with the formation of gastric and duodenal ulcers.
Insufficient hydrochloric acid results in hindered fat absorption, which in turn translates into problems with the absorption of vitamins and minerals, leading to serious deficiencies. Fatty acids are necessary for the absorption of beta-carotene and vitamins A, D, E and K from meals.
Stomach acid levels also affect how well carbohydrates are digested. They're broken down in the presence of pancreatic enzymes, the secretion of which depends on the adequate acidification of food entering the intestines. A lack of pancreatic enzymes results in the excessive production of gases, which can lead to reflux.
People with reduced gastric acidity are typically deficient in zinc, which is an element necessary for the production of hydrochloric acid; zinc also influences the proper functioning of the immune system and the thyroid, and plays a role in the condition of hair, skin and nails.
Impaired protein digestion in an insufficiently acidified stomach also significantly reduces iron absorption. That's why if you have been diagnosed with anaemia, you should always check your stomach acid levels. Perhaps it's low stomach acid levels that are the reason for your anaemia caused by a lack of iron, which is necessary for the proper metabolism of B vitamins, in particular B6 and B12.
Hydrochloric acid itself is essential for the absorption of vitamin B12, which ensures the proper functioning of the nervous system, circulatory system and brain. Deficiency in vitamin B12, B6 or folic acid causes an increase in the level of homocysteine, which is a factor in the development of atherosclerosis.
Unfortunately, often symptoms of hypoacidity are confused with those of hyperacidity, for which antacids are recommended. These drugs result in a complete shutdown of the stomach's digestive functions, even for up to 24 hours, which causes problems with calcium absorption and significantly increases the risk of osteoporosis.
To check if hypoacidity is a problem for you, you should first find out the levels of elements in your body. One of the methods used to test this is elemental hair analysis. The test results will show which elements you're lacking, and which ones are at adequate or excessive levels. The key elements that'll give you this information are those that are known to be poorly absorbed when there is low stomach acidity (e.g. calcium, zinc and iron). You can also carry out a test using baking soda – dissolve one teaspoon of baking soda in 3/4 glass of water and drink it. It's important that the test is carried out on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning. Hydrochloric acid in the stomach will react with the sodium bicarbonate and immediately produce carbon dioxide, which will make you burp. The conclusion: the longer you have to wait for the burp, the less hydrochloric acid you have in your stomach.
Vitamin C preferably natural, taken during meals. It releases and promotes the absorption of iron, which helps to acidify the stomach.
Apple cider vinegar only good-quality, organic ACV, preferably homemade. How to use: 1 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in 1/2 cup of water (children: 1 teaspoon in 1/2 cup of water), drink 3x a day 15 minutes before meals. Several weeks of this treatment will help stabilise the functions of the stomach. Do not use spirit vinegar for this – it's harmful to the stomach and kidneys!
Lemon juice can be used instead of apple cider vinegar. How to use: drink 1/2 a cup of undiluted lemon juice 3x a day before meals.
Table or rock salt unrefined, non-iodised salt, such as Kłodawska or Himalayan salt. How to use: eat a pinch of salt, especially before or after a large meal, several times a day. You can also drink it dissolved in water.
Stomach drops their bitter taste provokes the secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
Spices and herbs stimulating the production of gastric juices and improving the functions of the entire digestive system include peppermint, ginger, cloves, fenugreek, aniseed, basil, savory, caraway, coriander and nigela sativa.
Wormwood – how to use: drink wormwood mixed with water every morning for 10 days. Don't use it in children or long-term, as it negatively affects vision.
Hydrochloric acid with betaine (betaine hydrochloride, betaine HCL) and pepsin – capsules should be taken immediately after you begin eating. If you take too much betaine, you may feel warmth in your stomach. If this occurs, reduce the dose. Betaine supplementation should always be consulted with a doctor due to possible contraindications.
To start with, you should exclude foods that require large amounts of gastric juices to digest. These include fatty, fried, and rich foods containing large amounts of animal protein. Light meats such as veal, poultry and fish are recommended. Your food should be poached or braised, finely chopped, preferably in a paste or liquid form. This will make your stomach's work easier. You should also remember to avoid sugar, as it strongly inhibits the secretion of digestive juices.
The second-most-important thing is the way you eat. You should thoroughly chew each bite for a long time. Meals should be eaten regularly, and you shouldn't overeat. Your portions should be small but eaten often – preferably five times a day. To avoid diluting your gastric juices, drink between meals and avoid drinking during, just before and immediately after meals. Remember that the stomach likes sour, salty and bitter flavours.
Adequate stomach acidification is one of the key factors directly affecting your health. Checking the acidity of the stomach can help eliminate many diseases and their bothersome symptoms.

Ansel Elgort Bio and Career:
In the 2014 film "The Fault in Our Stars," Ansel Elgort played the character Augustus Waters. He is an American actor and musician. Most people call him by his stage name, Ansolo. Elgort began getting notoriety in the industry after making his playing debut in the 2013 American horror film "Carrie," which he co-directed with Kimberley Peirce. But he didn't begin to enjoy significant global acclaim until his part in the 2014 American romantic drama movie "The Fault in Our Stars." Elgort portrays a cancer patient who falls in love with another cancer patient in a support group in the movie, which not only won over hearts everywhere but also became a smash hit, debuting at number one at the box office.
Also, it brought in more than $307 million globally. Elgort has won multiple accolades for his outstanding work in the movie, including the Young Hollywood Award for "Best On-Screen Couple" in 2014. Elgort is well renowned for his musical talents as well. He released the song "To Life," which was made public in September 2015. In New York City, Ansel Elgort was born on March 14, 1994. His mother Grethe Barrett Holby is an opera director, and his father Arthur Elgort is a fashion photographer.
His siblings are Sophie and Warren. Ansel Elgort originally started his acting career on stage before being given a supporting part in the 2013 film "Carrie." The movie, which was helmed by renowned American filmmaker Kimberley Pierce, is the third to be based on Stephen King's acclaimed horror book of the same name. The main subject of the movie is a little girl who possesses telekinetic abilities and the detrimental effects it has on her life. The most important project in Ansel Elgort's career might be regarded as the 2014 American romantic drama movie "The Fault in Our Stars." In addition to Elgort, the movie also stars Shailene Woodley and Nat Woolf, two well-known actors from the United States. Josh Boone was the film's director and screenwriter.
In the film, Elgort portrays Woodley's romantic interest, Hazel Grace, a sixteen-year-old cancer sufferer. Another significant part of Elgort's career is his portrayal of Caleb in the "The Divergent" trilogy. The Divergent Series: Allegiant and The Divergent Series: Insurgent was released after the first film in the series, "Divergent." The series' final film has not yet been made public.
In 2012, Violetta Komyshan, his high school girlfriend, and Ansel Elgort began dating. However, they eventually split up due to his demanding job and busy schedule. They eventually made amends in 2015. His elder sister Sophie is a photographer, while his older brother Warren works as a film editor right now. The Divergent book by acclaimed American novelist Veronica Roth served as the inspiration for the series of movies.
The dystopian civilization in which the narrative is set is split into five groups. Teenagers must choose a faction when they are sixteen; it might be the faction they were born into or another one they prefer. The films include topics including betrayal, war, friendship, and love. The series' films have all achieved enormous success on the global stage. In a support group where she meets and falls in love with Augustus Waters, a former basketball star portrayed by Elgort is Hazel's character.
The majority of the reviews for the movie were favorable, and Woodley and Elgort's performances garnered great praise. The movie became a big success. With a global total of more than $307 million, it became a smash hit. It has won various honors, including the Best Romance trophy at the 15th Golden Trailer Awards and the Scene Stealer prize at the 2014 Teen Choice Awards.
India's Fox Star Studio confirmed in August 2014 that the movie will be remade in Hindi. Following that, he had an appearance in Neil Burger's science fiction film "Divergent," which was adapted from the best-selling young adult book of the same name by American author Veronica Roth. The movie premiered on March 21, 2014. It brought in a total of $289 million globally, including $151 million alone in North America. It was criticized, nevertheless, for having a narrative that was predictable.

PUBLISHERS PLAN ADVANCED LAUNCH OF NEW SERIES OF BOOKS FEATURING NOTABLE AFRICAN AMERICANS
Beenetwork Media Group (BMG), and the Positive Images That Invoke Self Esteem (PITISE) Publishers Group is proud to announce the advanced launch of its first of several books featuring notable African Americans and Women from the "Moments in the Shadow of Greatness " series by George L. Addison, Jr.
Earlier this year the original book release and tour were canceled due to the Coronavirus outbreak. Therefore, due to the uncertainty of this pandemic our enthusiastic supporters are requesting an advanced release of these encouraging and motivating stories. As part of this launch we are also attempting to raise funds via "Go Fund Me and our Encouraging Words Through Stories" campaign to donate fifty (50) thousand copies of volume one nationwide to grades 8 thru 12, juvenile, adult male and adult female correctional facilities.
The "Moments in the Shadow of Greatness" book series provides a fresh look and perspective of known and unknown movers and shakers that have contributed to the American experience and the world. According to one reader Kim Hicks of Maryland, "Moments in the Shadow of Greatness – Volume One "illustrates how Information is truly power. It appeals to all ages, providing inspiration. Thanks also to the author's candor, proving it doesn't matter where you start, it's all about pursuing your dreams."
Beverly Finklea of Ohio said, "Mr. Addison gives the reader permission to gaze through his personal "reminisce window" providing previously unknown insights which amplifies the greatness of each of the African Americans profiled in "Moments in the Shadow of Greatness." The book takes young and old on a soulful journey and is both inspiring and motivational. It is a great addition to any library."
Karen Henderson, an AP teacher from Kentucky said, "I really enjoyed the first-person perspective of "Moments in the Shadow of Greatness." As a teacher of African American Studies, I found it easy to read and to build lesson plans around the information contained throughout its pages. The additional web links provided me with a perfect resource for student AP writing projects. This book is an ideal learning and motivational teaching tool for educators everywhere."
Brian Jones of Kentucky said, "I especially enjoyed the website links he provided so I could visit and explore in further depth the stunning photos by Gordon Parks Sr, and the uplifting programs and services provided by both the Ali and Obama organizations. I very much look forward to continued learning from George's rich, and diverse life experiences in this "Moments in the Shadow of Greatness" series of books."
Lorraine Brown in Arkansas said, ""Moments in the Shadow of Greatness," an absolute must-read for
Moments in the Shadow of Greatness Volume One.
anyone searching for positive influences or role-models of recognized self-worth and prominence. George offers his readers a dazzling glimpse into the lives of people with courage and fortitude, while simultaneously, defying the odds. This book was exhilarating, captivating, and very thought-provoking, to say the least. The author gives insight into the lives of the great men and women who influenced the decisions of his life. While reading, I had the feeling of being with George as he sat and spoke with each person. Truly a great read, let us do it again, George. I 'll be waiting!
And Chandra Stroud, another Kentucky resident said, "What a privilege it was to sit in my favorite chair in my favorite room with "Moments in the Shadow of Greatness" in hand. George mindfully guides you through each page of his personal journey as it intersects with the most power-filled, influential, intentional, and down to earth individuals that ever graced the planet. Under the low lamp light of my favorite room, I was transcended by George's stories and his ability to "write" you into his life narrative…filled with divine orchestrated moments like Gordon Parks responding to his letter even when due to Mr. Parks' time constraints, hundreds went unanswered! Easy to read and easy to "feel", the sacred moments that George experienced with these monumental individuals, left an indelible imprint on my spirit, mind and heart!
Moments in the Shadow of Greatness – Volume One will be released Worldwide to the public online and in stores beginning December 15, 2020. Pre-release single copies and Bulk Orders of 150, 250 and 500 are available for a limited time by going to https://beenetwork.wixsite.com/georgeladdison/contact .

A special memes post specifically for the Iron Bowl. No matter the outcome of the game, we can all just bond over humor, right? No? The hatred of the opposing teams is un-quenchable even with laughter? Sounds about right. Here are some memes to get you ready for kickoff.
Roll Tide. War Eagle. I'm looking forward to this game.
What do all Bama and Auburn fans have in common? They never attended the university of Alabama.
Did you attend auburn? I ask because I have a friend that is a huge Auburn fan and he didn't attend Auburn. I am also willing to bet the majority of the Auburn fanbase didn't attend Auburn…..Good joke though.
Um, yea. Why the hell would I make the joke if I didn't attend Auburn? I'm guessing you did attend Alabama considering I had to spell that one out for you.
I figured if you did attend Auburn you would realize how stupid that joke truly is considering the majority of fans for every college football team didn't attend the college. I guess I was wrong…….Here is one for you. What did the Bama grad say to the Auburn grad?…Super size please.
What does attending the University have to do with it? I guarantee the percentages would tell you that a much higher number of Alabama fans didn't go to Alabama. So yea good one bro.
The Auburn fan brought up attending the college. Of course bama will have more fans that didn't attend. Bama is a national brand auburn is not.
That's because Alabama has a much larger fan base, winning does that.
Sorry but that is just not true. Auburn has plenty of fans that didn't attend the school just like bama. It doesn't make them bandwagon fans. Use pro football for example. How do you cheer for a team in professional football? You associate yourself with something about the team. You can about so contribute to a college without ever attending it. Your posts makes you come off as an idiot.
Trying to post from a phone…wish we could edit.
What do Alabama fans and Maggots have in common? They can both live off of a dead bear for twenty years.
What does an Auburn grad and a tornado have in common? They are both going to end up in a trailer park.
Is that why so many tornadoes come through Tuscaloosa every year?
I have always thought the Iron Bowl is the best rivalry in college football. I don't care what anyone says about OhioSt/UMich, USC/ND, Army/Navy, or any other matchup. Same state. Same conference. It doesn't matter where you come from or which college you went to, there is no neutrality. Even if you move into the state, you must declare.
Hands down, 'Bama/Auburn is the best rivalry in the nation. Period.
Why don't you post where you belong.. the toilet bowl.
So when Auburn beats bama again whats the excuse going to be this time?
You created an account to post that? Wow..

Welch's fruit snacks are 'no more healthful than candy', says false advertising lawsuit
Email to a friend 6 comments
Welch's fruit snacks: A healthier snack or candy by any other name?
Related tags: Fruit snacks, Snack foods
Welch's fruit snacks are candy masquerading as healthy snacks, says a false advertising lawsuit filed in New York.
In the complaint*, filed on Friday, plaintiffs Aliza Atik and Winnie Lau argue that the snacks – which they say contain "mostly a combination of corn syrup, sugar, modified corn starch, juice from concentrate, artificial flavors and dyes" – contain "minimal amounts" of the "vibrantly depicted" fruits on the label and "are no more healthful than candy".
While the first ingredient in some of the snacks is juice from concentrates** the second, third and fourth ingredients are corn syrup, sugar and modified corn starch, says the complaint, which notes that the regular fruit snacks contain no fiber and 40%+ sugar (eg. the mixed fruit snack contains 11g sugar per 25.5g serving, or 43% sugar), while the PB&J snacks contain 53% sugar.
Meanwhile, the vitamins advertised on the front of the pack - which features the slogan 'made with real fruit' – are added to the snacks, and are not, as is implied, derived from the fruit, it says: "[The snacks are] devoid of the health benefits plaintiffs and other reasonable consumers associate with consuming real fruit."
The plaintiffs add: "Welch Foods has deceived shoppers by engaging in a deceptive marketing campaign to convince consumers that Welch's Fruit Snacks contained significant amounts of the actual fruits shown in the marketing and on the labeling of the products, were nutritious and healthful to consume, and were more healthful than similar products."
Steve Gardner: 'Basically, the fortification rule says not to add vitamins to crap'
Specifically, they allege, Welch's is violating federal food labeling requirement 21 C.F.R 102.5*** by failing to display the percentage of fruit in the product name on the front of the label.
Welch's is also violating the so-called 'jelly bean rule' enshrined in 21 C.F.R. 104.20, in which the FDA says it does not consider it appropriate to fortify "snack foods such as candies and carbonated beverages", argues the lawsuit.
Asked whether the fruit snacks were the equivalent of 'candies', Stephen Gardner, who heads the food law practice at the Stanley Law Group of Dallas, Texas, and is representing the plaintiffs along with the Richman Law Group, told FoodNavigator-USA: "These products are in fact snack foods masquerading as health foods."
Ingredients list: Welch's strawberry fruit snacks
He added: "The judge in our Vitaminwater case [in a previous life as head of litigation at the CSPI, Gardner sued Coca-Cola over claims made about Vitaminwater] effectively… found that the fortification policy applied to Vitaminwater, which also is neither a candy nor a carbonated beverage."
He added: "Basically, the fortification rule says not to add vitamins to crap, and Welch's has done that every bit as much as Coke did."
According to a lawsuit filed in New York this month, Welch's is a trusted brand that parents have come to associate with 100% fruit juice and grapes: "Welch's is one of the most respected and well-known names in the world when it comes to 100% fruit juice and grapes. Plaintiffs and other reasonable consumers trust the Welch's name when it comes to expecting healthy, fruit-based snacks for their children."
There are other things that do have actual fruit in them
Asked to address the argument that juice concentrate is still from 'real fruit' and that if you wanted a snack that primarily comprised real fruit, you should go to the produce department, Gardner said:
"There are other things that do have actual fruit in them, but are still a long way from the produce aisle. Smoothies come to mind."

Asked about juice concentrates, he said: "When fruit juices are used, they are often stripped of anything that organoleptically qualified as fruit. Even pure juices are mostly sugar, which is why nutritionists generally advise to limit their consumption."
Promotion in Motion: Fruit, whether in the form of juices or purees, has always been the first ingredient in Welch's Fruit Snacks
However, Promotion in Motion, which manufactures and markets the snacks under license for Welch Foods, told FoodNavigator-USA that it "stands behind all of our Welch's Fruit Snacks products and packaging".
A spokesperson added: "It is a fact that fruit, whether in the form of juices or more recently purees, has always been the first ingredient in Welch's Fruit Snacks. Our labeling is truthful and gives consumers the information they need to make informed decisions. For nearly 15 years, we have been proud to bring consumers snacks made with the highest quality ingredients, that consistently meet and even exceed quality standards and FDA regulation.
"The legal complaint against Welch's Fruit Snacks is false and misleading, and we will defend the brand with the facts and record behind us."
*The case is Atik and Lau et al vs Welch Foods Inc., a cooperative, and the Promotion in Motion Companies Inc No. 1:15-cv-05405 filed in the eastern district of New York.
**Promotion in Motion says it is gradually reformulating the snacks such that fruit puree - rather than juice concentrate - is the first ingredient across the portfolio. So, for example, the website shows that juice from concentrates are still the top ingredient in the strawberry fruit snacks, while fruit puree is the top ingredient in the Island Fruits variant.
Some varieties of the fruit snacks now feature fruit purees as the #1 ingredient, such as the Island Fruits variety.
A spokesperson said: "For years, a number of Welch's Fruit Snacks products have had fruit purees as the first ingredient. In recent months, Promotion In Motion has expanded the use of fruit purees as the first ingredient across the portfolio of Welch's Fruit Snacks."
However, Steve Gardner told us: "Even if they are in the process of changing, that doesn't excuse the millions of dollars they've already ripped off from consumers."
***21 C.F.R 102.5 states that "The common or usual name of a food shall include the percentage(s) of any characterizing ingredient(s) or component(s) when the proportion of such ingredient(s) or component(s) in the food has a material bearing on price or consumer acceptance or when the labeling or the appearance of the food may otherwise create an erroneous impression that such ingredient(s) or component(s) is present in an amount greater than is actually the case."

it doesn't take a nutritionist to turn a box around and read the ingredient label as well as the nutrition label and look at the sugar content to realize its nothing more than fruit flavored candy. my suggestion is: rather than buy these "fruit snacks", just buy fresh fruit. how many thousands of nutrition and just good old fashioned common sense does it take before people jump on the bandwagon and start eating real food instead of processed prepackaged garbage all in the name of "convenience". and its beyond the nutrition or lack thereof in these products; think about the environmental cost of these packaged snacks. eating a fresh apple is always better than snack size packages of applesauce or slices. Come on people- WAKE UP!!! the closer to a foods natural state we eat it (especially fruits) the better it is for us. that way we get ALL the nutrients in it. and the best part about eating real fruit, you can toss an apple core out the window and nature will take care of the core- ants, and a host of other insects will take care of disposing it for you.
Worse Yet - Made in Spain
Posted by Harry Sabres, 25 September 2015 - 11:57 GMT
Furthermore, as far as deceptive advertising, you think you are getting a product from an American farmer, as part of cooperative per Welch's claim. I once tried to buy these from Amazon and they said Welch's Fruit Chews MADE IN SPAIN!
An ignorant consumer is our best customer
Posted by Haywood Jablowme, 23 September 2015 - 18:17 GMT
I can see how the packaging and messaging can dupe (uninformed)consumers into thinking there is significant fruit content in these.
Given the rest of the free world are removing them, I am surprised these numbskulls are still using the FD&C dyes.

Schools Are Regretting Opening Their Doors During COVID-19

There are dozens of schools that now regret opening their doors for the 2020 school year amid the spreading COVID-19 pandemic. According to CNN, in the last two weeks of July 2020, over 97,000 students contracted the virus across the country, and now they're getting ready to go back to school with other kids, in-person.
Reportedly, even more students are becoming sick upon returning to the physical classroom. And, whereas a few weeks ago lots of kids were looking forward to getting out of the house and back around their friends, now it is simply a scary situation when they actually do so.
The Dangerous Hallways of Schools During COVID-19
Hannah Watters, a fifteen-year-old sophomore at North Paulding High School in Dallas, Georgia, showed the nation just how seriously dangerous the situation in a school's environment can be as kids across the country are returning to classes. Hannah herself is an honor student, so of course she was happy to be going back to school. But, upon arriving, she noticed how many kids we're not wearing masks, or practicing social distancing, and just didn't feel safe.
15-year-old Hanna Watters took hallway pics of a lack of social distancing and masks at her school, posted them to Twitter, then got suspended by her school. Image from WWII.
Hannah was so worried and upset about the situation that she posted a picture of her school hallway (that was packed full of close-walking kids) on Twitter. Then, she did it again the next day, writing a caption under the second picture that read "This is not okay, not to mention the 10% mask rate."

After posting her pictures on August 4th, 2020, they rapidly went viral. But, did the school officials take this as a warning from Hanna to enforce mask usage, social distancing, etc.? No. Instead, they decided to suspend Hannah for five days for violating the social media and phone policies at the school.
By the time CBS News, CNN, and other major nationwide news sources caught hold to this story, the girl was already getting death threats. She told reporters that there were kids who said they were going to beat up every girl named Hannah, and post other things on social media, like "Hannah's going to have a bad day at school today."

She told CNN that she felt like the school had literally used the kids as "guinea pigs", and that she felt they could have just stayed closed like other schools to make sure that everybody was safe upon returning. Hanna felt like they had made them all go back to school, just as an experiment to see what would happen.
After the media caught a hold of the situation, all of a sudden school officials lifted Hanna's five-day suspension. CBS News said that the Paulding County School District finally announced in a public statement that Hannah's suspension from school had been rescinded, but that they didn't want to include why they'd suspended her and other kids who took similar pictures in the first place. The school district also did not want to mention in the public statement the reason why they eventually reversed the suspensions.
Other Situations with COVID-19 Infecting Students
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported in early August of 2020 that dozens and dozens of employees had ended up contracting Coronavirus (or were possibly quarantined because of exposure to it) in what is apparently the biggest school district in the State of Georgia.
It's absolutely mind-blowing how quickly the disease spread through the Gwinnett County Public School system, according to the newspaper, when the teachers started their in-person pre-planning at the over 140 facilities across the county the week before classes started. After just one day of coming in contact with their colleagues, 260 of the folks on the Gwinnett County School District's faculty and staff ended up testing positive for COVID-19.
It seems to me that, with that particular county having one of the highest rates of Coronavirus cases in the entire State of Georgia (over 17,700 cases, close to 2,000 hospitalizations and 240 deaths), they would have thought it through more thoroughly before letting everybody return to the regular in-person school routine this year.

One of the worst places for COVID-19 infection among children is Florida. Even with two kids dying in early August from the virus (which made it their sixth and seventh case of deaths from the disease for kids under 17), and with the panhandle State been the one with the fifth highest rate of positive infections of Coronavirus in the entire country, they still decided to open up schools in at least a dozen counties for school across the state.
Along with another seven-year-old Georgia boy who died from COVID-19 without even showing any pre-existing conditions of the disease, and much of the States in the southeastern U.S. collectively averaging between 1,000 to 5,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19, things seem to be getting worse than better among children who are contracting it.
If schools are just letting kids go back within their wall so freely without really looking at the statistics thoroughly enough, then I have to agree with Hannah, the girl who posted the pictures of the students in the hallway of her school. Some of these schools are probably letting these kids come back to school to use them as "guinea pigs". It needs to stop immediately, because these deaths are real, and this situation is getting scarier as the days go on.

Fishing season has returned to Lexington Reservoir, and the state has issued guidelines that people can follow to know how much fish is safe to eat. The guidelines are based on mercury and PCB measurements taken from Lexington fish and are for rainbow trout, sunfish, black bass, inland silverside and threadfin shad.
The guidelines were issued by the state Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment.
Mercury can harm people's brains and nervous systems. It is especially dangerous to fetuses and growing children, which is why the guidelines are broken into age groups.
Women ages 18-45 and children ages 1-17 can eat as many as seven servings a week of rainbow trout. Or they could have two servings of Inland silverside or threadfin shad, or one serving of a small sunfish species like bluegill or pumpkinseed.
Women and children in this age group should not eat any species of black bass, such as largemouth bass.
But women who are 46 and older and men 18 and older can safely eat up to seven servings a week of rainbow trout, inland silverside or threadfin shad. Or they can consume three servings of small sunfish species or one serving of black bass.
An adult serving of fish is about the size and thickness of an individual's hand. Children should be given smaller servings.
The guidelines go on to say that eating more than the recommended amounts on an occasional basis is OK.
