Brand New Unit with Minor Scuff Marks or Dents. (Scuff marks and dents are to minor to be shown in pictures). Dynamic Low EMF Far Infrared Sauna is completely safe and produces the same far infrared heat produced by the sun. The Far-infrared heat is required for all living things for optimum health.
The radiant heat from your Dynamic Low Far Infrared Sauna surrounds you and penetrates deeply into your joints, muscles and tissues, speeding oxygen flow and increasing circulation. Using your Dynamic Low EMF Far Infrared Sauna helps to remove impurities from your cells, specifically the cells inside our fat where our body stores waste and harmful toxins such as cholesterol and heavy metals. When used properly, your Dynamic Low EMF Far Infrared Sauna will help provide a lifetime of healthful living.
Completely harmless, we feel far infrared heat from such sources as the sun (without the harmful ultraviolet waves that the sun gives off) and fires. Just as visible light has a range of wavelengths (running from red to violet), so does infrared light: longer wavelength infrared waves are thermal, while short or near infrared waves are not hot at all, in fact, you cannot even feel them. It is the far infrared energy that is most beneficial, penetrating the skin and increasing circulation to help rid the body of harmful toxins.
Ease Joint Pain and Stiffness. HOW TO USE AN INFRARED SAUNA.
Using an infrared sauna is easier than you think. There are simple guidelines you can follow to increase overall beneficial results from your sauna sessions. As you become more familiar and comfortable with your infrared sauna, you can adjust these guidelines to fit your personal needs.
Always remember to drink plenty of fluids prior to, during, and after your sauna session. Begin by preheating your infrared sauna to a desired temperature.
This can take anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes depending on the size of your sauna and the ambient temperature. The most common temperatures for beginners will be in the range of 110° F to 118° F.
Experiment within this range to find what is comfortable for you. While you are waiting for your sauna to preheat, there are a few ways you can prepare for your sauna session. Taking a warm bath/shower or doing some light physical exercises will prepare your body for the sauna session. These activities will shorten the amount of time it will take for your body to begin perspiring once you enter the sauna.
Now you are ready to begin your session. Start with one or two sauna session(s) per week. When entering the sauna, wear as little clothing as possible. Infrared rays have difficulty penetrating clothing.
Take at least two towels inside the sauna with you, one to sit on and the other to wipe away perspiration. Adjust the timer to reflect a 15 to 20 minute session. Gradually, you can increase this time with future sessions. Use your session to relax, meditate, and escape from your everyday stress. Enjoy the benefits of your infrared sauna as you detox your body through perspiration.
Massage areas of the body that ache to relieve sore and tense muscles. From time to time, wipe off the excess perspiration to allow for more intense sweating. If at any time you feel dizzy, sleepy, or any discomfort, exit the sauna immediately. After your sauna session is over, turn the power off and sit in the sauna with the door opened slightly for about 10 minutes and let your body cool down. Although the sauna heat emitters are turned off, your body will still continue to perspire.
Once your body has cooled down, you can exit the sauna. Wait at least 20 minutes before taking a warm shower to rinse the perspiration from your body. This Item is Brand New. Guarantee Brand New Unit and 100% Working Condition (unless otherwise listed).

WHY BRITAIN HAS TO LEAVE THE EU – IT’S GOD’S WILL FOR US!
It is written that God establishes the boundaries of nations and for those who understand the times we are in, you realise we’re getting close to the end of days. So in light of the Referendum outcome, we decided to publish this article as we believe Britain could be the ancient nation of Tarshish, as referred to in Old Testament biblical prophecy. Tarshish is listed as one of the nations that challenges the Gog- Magog confederacy that sets itself up against Israel. Tarshish is also one of the first nations to bring offerings (tribute) to the God of Israel therefore could not be part the Gog-Magog confederacy.
The Emmaus Group believes our deliverance from Europe was God’s will for this nation, for His word does not return void but will perform what He purposes, in the thing for which He sent it (Isaiah 55:11). So be encouraged, but also understand such revelation highlights the times we’re in. Time is now very short and Britain will soon be humbled. What we are witnessing before our very eyes reflects both prophecy and the list of nations in Ezekiel 38.
According to Josephus, a well-respected Roman-Jewish scholar, the sons of Japheth went north and west into what we know to day as Europe, Scandinavia and Western Russia. The sons of Shem went to the Middle East and Asia, and the sons of Ham to North Africa. Josephus was one of the first of many to assign known ethnicities to some of the names listed in Genesis 10.
The name Gaul lies at the root of the word Galatian, which was the name the ancient Greeks gave the Gauls, in what we know today as the French-Belgian region. In ancient times the Gauls were also known as Gomerites, because they had descended from Gomer. Jophesus also listed Tubal as the Iberes, the root of the word Iberian, aka the Spanish-Portuguese-Andorran region. Meshech was identified as the father of Cappadocian people, i.e. Turkey and today the Armenians still identify themselves as the ‘House of Togarmah’.
Josephus identified Magog as being Scythia and in 450BC, Herodotus listed the rivers of Cythia, which included the Danube in the West as far as the Don in East. Therefore the region of Magog extends from what we know as Germany into Russia.
Now one of the sons of Javan is Tarshish, and if we study scripture carefully we can find many clues to help identify who Tarshish is. He is a grandson of Japheth, therefore it is fair to say the ‘people of Tarshish’ are descendants of Japheth, thus ‘European’ in origin. We know from scripture that Tarshish is located in the West relative to Israel.
Silver, iron, tin and lead are all metals found in Britain. According to Roman trading records these metals were only found in three places: Persia, Iberia and Britannia. Of these three places, only one was an island afar off – Britannia aka Tarshish.
Isaiah 23 speaks of a transfer of maritime power and influence from Tyre to Tarshish. The passage is titled an oracle concerning Tyre in which its fall from global influence is lamented. The East India Trading Company, who dominated trade in the east and west during the British Empire, used trade routes remarkably similar to those of the Phoenicians. Thus it could be said the power and influence of Tyre was passed to Britain using trading routes we still ply today. We too were a colonial power with all the commonwealth nations with connection to Britain, yet independent.
Ezekiel 38 speaks of the time in which the Gog-Magog confederacy comes against Israel and her God. However, Sheba and Dedan with the merchants of Tarshish, and its young lions, challenge them (38:13). Sheba and Dedan are the modern day nations of the Arabian Peninsula, what we know as the Gulf States. This implies an alliance will be forged between Tarshish and the Gulf States in trading sanctions against the Gog-Magog confederacy. But who are the young lions?
Ezekiel 19:2-3 gives us another clue by telling us of a Lioness rearing her cubs to become young lions able to fend for themselves. The picture of a lioness rearing cubs pertains to a nation rearing colonial offspring who are taught to fend for themselves and become independent, which is exactly what happened to the British commonwealth. Of note, the lion features heavily in British symbolism. It’s on our crest, many coats of arms and in much national symbolism, even our football and rugby shirts! The picture is of a wartime poster and speaks for itself.
Tarshish is a maritime nation with global trading influence and as if to prove the point, the world’s oldest boat was recently discovered off Dover, which was 3000 years old. The report, featured in the Daily Telegraph was titled; “3000 year old shipwreck shows European trade was thriving in the Bronze age” – i.e. throughout biblical times.
Continuing with the theme of maritime power, something that Tarshish is identified as having, it’s notable that Britain today still has a strong relationship with the Gulf States through major trade deals. ‘The British Navy has a permanent presence in the gulf to ensure the safe flow of trade and oil in the area.’ (RN Website). On 26th March this year, a news item appeared titled: “UK to lead gulf maritime force,” reflecting what is written in Ezekiel 38, that Tarshish will have a strong relationship with Sheba and Dedan.
That this relationship exists and will ultimately challenge the Gog-Magog confederacy demonstrates that Tarshish is on an opposing side, not part of the confederacy. Therefore, if Britain is Tarshish, it could not remain in Europe for prophecy to be fulfilled.
This might also account for why many believers sensed, in the run up to the Referendum, that God wanted us out, because He still has plans for this nation, His hand is upon us and ultimately we will bring tribute to the King of Kings, the God of Israel.
Isaiah 2 says that in the latter days God will humble the nations, that He will humble all that is proud and lofty and bring them low. In verse 16 it specifically names the ships of Tarshish. Britain will be humbled too. The dissolution of the European Union following Brexit may trigger exactly this?
If correct, that England is Tarshish, God has not finished with us. He has a work for us to do which is why He needed us to leave the EU. We could not work against the Gog-Magog confederacy if we were ‘in’ it.
Isaiah 66:19. “And I will set a sign among them (all nations and tongues v18). And from them I will send survivors to the nations, to Tarshish…and they shall declare my glory among the nations.” Those who witness God’s glory will speak of it in Tarshish, will Britain have a role in declaring the glory of God among the nations at the end of time?
Psalm 72:10 “May the kings of Tarshish and the coastlands render Him tribute, may the kings of Sheba and Seba bring gifts!” This prophetic prayer echoes Ezekiel 38, that after the Tarshish-Sheba-Dedan trade sanctions are enforced against the Gog-Magog confederacy, to hinder their efforts to trample Jerusalem, Tarshish and Sheba will bring tribute to the King of kings in Jerusalem.
Can we use the Bible to identify who Tarshish is, and does Britain fit the description?
Are the British people descendants of Japheth, in the region of Europe – yes.
Is Britain located in the West relative to Israel – yes.
Is it a trading power in the gulf – yes.
If Britain is indeed the nation of Tarshish, as identified in the scriptures, then it’s easier to understand why we had to come out from under the influence and control of the very confederacy we may soon come against under God’s divine plan for the last days. It would also explain why our relationship with the Gulf States is strengthening and why our Royal Navy has a permanent presence in the gulf. Such a notion would also reaffirm our understanding of the times in which we are living, as we witness the realignment of nations in accordance with biblical prophecy for the end game scenario.
Watch therefore and pray dear friends for your redemption draws near. These final days will be troubled times as we will be humbled by God, but in the end, according to prophecy, there will be a revival as the survivors are sent by God, to Tarshish, to declare the glory of God.
If however we humble ourselves before God, He will lift us up. Pray the nation humbles itself that God does not have to do it for us!

Splitting product is the way i started years ago. It served all quite well. Times have changed and those that are concerned with efficacy as well as quality are keeping all of their meds by paying for the service, if you must have others extract for you. There are many ways to extract and each provides a different outcome. If you are choosing to extract with a non-eatable solvent, be sure you are checking temperatures to remove all residual solvent. There has been a case of liver failure with iso extractions. I am reasonably certain it was due to improper purging at the end. Check skunkpharmresearch.com for correct procedures. Let’s keep this a medicine rather than make it into a product that is harmful. If you all are interested, I will run a class for ethanol (alcohol, this too is a chemical) extractions. Are you all interested?
My heart is with you. I know your pain.

The graveyard is full of history and worth of exploration in its own right. There is a medieval coffin near to the South door which may hve been the tomb of the founder Gospatric or perhaps the first priest.
Excluding the medieval coffin the oldest stone in the graveyard is a tombstone dated 1669; inscribed with the initials WR MG.
The stones in the graveyard preserve the names of some ordinary Dalmeny families. Many stones are richly adorned with carved symbols of death and ressurection or representing the crafts and trades of the deceased.
The graveyard also contains the graves of several former ministers, schoolmasters and local landowners, including Dundas of Dundas, Stewart-Clark of Dundas and Stewart of Newhalls.
The Rosebery family are intered in their family vault.
A list of grave monuments with photographs can be found at the Gravestone Photographic Resource site.

The City of Brandon’s Emergency Preparedness team is watching the spring melt on the Assiniboine River closely this month to ensure readiness in the event a flood response is warranted.
As of noon today (Monday, April 3rd), the Assiniboine River level in Brandon was sitting at 1,171.84 feet above sea level, measured at First Street. This is within a couple of inches of the level at which the river is considered overbank and at technical flood stage. Flood stage is considered to be 1,172 feet above sea level, measured at First Street, although there are some places along the river in recreational areas where the river is overbank before this level.
According to the Manitoba Hydrologic Forecast Centre, the first peak on the Assiniboine River in Brandon is likely to arrive sometime between April 10th and 17th. The province has also amended the estimated peak to be 1,176.80 feet, above sea level measured at First Street. This is a level where officials would have to plug the dike at the intersection of Grand Valley Road (Provincial Road #459).
Ice on the river has begun to break up and in the next day or two will begin to move with the current. This increases the risk of ice damming which may lead to a sudden but short term rise in river levels. In preparation for this developing situation, the City of Brandon has been sealing manholes, readying pumps, preparing to close outfalls, monitoring the situation and generally getting ready.
As the City of Brandon awaits the river’s spring peak, morning and afternoon river level readings are being taken at First Street and will be published on the City of Brandon’s website here: http://intriverlevel.brandon.ca/.
Updates to the City of Brandon’s spring melt situation will be also be published to the City of Brandon’s website as they become available.

The idea came while Dr. Andrea Dreyfuss was doing her emergency medicine residency at Highland Hospital in Oakland, CA. Could Dr. Dreyfuss, with the help of others, create an Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship program? Not only would it be rewarding to be a part of building an ultrasound program in her home country, but the nation of Peru is poised for a point-of-care ultrasound revolution.
Hospital Nacional Dos de Mayo, a public hospital in Lima, a city of 8 million people, established an Emergency Medicine residency 17 years ago, which had a major impact on patient lives. Furthermore the Peruvian officials recently required that Emergency Departments in Peru have access to ultrasound. However, the new regulations didn’t come with support for ultrasound training which has resulted in a lag in developing ultrasound expertise in POC and thus a delay in widespread POC ultrasound adoption in emergency medicine.
Dr. Dreyfuss saw this gap in ultrasound training as an opportunity. She presented her idea to Dr. Arun Nagdev, Director of Emergency Ultrasound at Highland Hospital in Oakland, CA.
While the need for ultrasound training in Peru was clear, Dr. Nagdev had been involved in training clinicians on POC ultrasound around the world and knew that when an established ultrasound program didn’t already exist, it would be an uphill battle for the local clinicians to get the ongoing training and mentorship they needed to get the program off the ground. Programs with similar goals always face the same challenges: the lack of access to ultrasound experts significantly impacts longitudinal learning, and supplementing ultrasound expertise across a distance is both expensive and time consuming.
The need was great, the appetite was high, but how would they provide access to ultrasound experts to ensure effective longitudinal ultrasound education for the three Fellows in Dr. Dreyfuss’s Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship program?
To address this, Dr. Dreyfuss set up a clinical rotation exchange between the Fellows at Hospital Dos de Mayo and key physicians at Highland Hospital Emergency Department. While these efforts provide a great learning environment, there remained the challenge of having 24/7access to experts and mentors for on-going education and consultation in difficult cases.
Dr. Dreyfuss and Dr. Nagdev have now enlisted a new tool: Philips Lumify with Reacts, integrated tele-ultrasound. Lumify provides outstanding image quality, simplicity and mobility to facilitate ultrasound learning and diagnosis anytime, anywhere. Reacts directly connects physicians at Dos de Mayo with experts at Highland providing live tele-ultrasound at the bedside. It doesn’t matter where the physicians are – in the same facility, across town, in another city or on another continent. Lumify with Reacts allows them to share ultrasound images, two-way video and voice, virtually bringing experts to any clinical case.
For Dos de Mayo and Highland, this has already had a huge impact. In one case, real-time consultation with a remote expert helped the clinician in Peru determine that the patient was suffering cardiogenic shock, not sepsis due to pneumonia as originally thought. The clinician immediately changed the clinical management of the patient.
In another case, one of the residents came in to help out on her day off. She noticed a patient in the waiting room with a gunshot wound who looked seriously ill. The resident used Lumify with Reacts, and with the real-time guidance of the consulting physician, she was able to determine that the patient had a hemothorax that was not seen on x-ray. With ultrasound guidance they placed a needle in the chest and found blood and subsequently placed a chest tube. This is an example of the ease of using Lumify with Reacts to help make confident clinical decisions.
Dr. Nagdev is encouraged by the ability to have real-time consultation with experts as he feels this creates a model for longitudinal education that can be used worldwide. Having access to a POC expert provides an important element to any ultrasound training program, and is key to developing and retaining POC ultrasound champions. Lumify with Reacts facilitates longitudinal learning experience, and brings expertise directly to clinicians where and when it’s needed – in near or distant emergency departments, clinics and small hospitals.

Papua New Guinea introduced its own notes and coins Currency on the 19th April 1975. The name of the dollar equivalent is Kina and the name of the cent equivalent is Toea. The Kina is the major unit and one single kina is equivalent to one hundred toeas. To learn more about Papua New Guinea’s currency on notes and coins click above notes and coins images.
Papua New Guineans had been living in rural areas as subsistence farmers where a family or clan is self sufficient in producing what they need for for their own consumption. Goods they could not produce or make themselves were exchanged for goods they had in abundance.
However during, the colonial period PNG evolved from a subsistence to a markedly monetary economy. The transition from a subsistence based to a modern exchange economy was part of the inevitable cultural and social changes which occur within a society over time.
In this transformation of economic processes PNG became urburnised, industrialised and monetised. This was the era in which the people learnt to use money in its different traditional forms until it finally became the Kina and Toea we know today.
In PNG where there are more than 800 different languages and traditional cultures, there are also many different types of traditional monies used for exchange of goods. These included the Tabu shells, pig tusks, kinas and toeas. Many of this traditional monies or currencies functioned as a means of payment, as an accepted standard of value and as a store of wealth.
It was amongst all this traditional monies used up in the highlands, in the coastal areas and along the New Guinea Islands regions that the name Kina and Toea was selected for our national Currencies. The word ‘Kina’ in found in both Pidgin and Kuanua languages and it refers to the caluable pearl shell used widely for trading in both the Coastal and Highlands areas of PNG. This shell is traded from the coastal areas into the highlands and is a traditional store of wealth.
The Toea is the name of a very valuable type of shell used for trading and bride price ceremonies in the Motuan Coastal villages. It is very valuable because it is found in the depths of the ocean and only at certain times of the year. After extracting the flesh from the shell a lot of work is done before it finally comes out as an armshell and becomes a means of payment, standard of value and store of wealth.
During the colonial period and before the introduction of the Kina and Toea, Papua New Guineans used German Marks and Pfennings, Japanese Yen, Australian Pounds, Shillings and Pence and most recently Australian Dollars.
PNG introduced its own notes and coins Currency on the 19th April 1975. The name of the dollars equivalent is Kina and the name of the cent equivalent is toea. The Kina is the major unit and one single kina is equivalent to one hundred toeas. The First issue of Kina was in four denominations K2, K5 and K10 Bank notes and K1 coin to replace the existing Australian dollar. The K20 Banknote was issued in 1977 and the K50 Banknote was issued in 1990. The first issue of Toea was in five denominations 1t, 2t, 5t, 10t, and 20t. For the eight months until the end of 1975 both the Australian Dollar and the Kina were both fully accepted. However, on the 1st of January 1976 (at the end of this dual Currency period) PNG gained full monetary independence. This meant that the dollar was withdrawn from circulation as it was no longer legal tender of the country.
The front of the notes shows the national crest and other design patterns from various provinces. The back of the notes features many of our traditional tools for fishing, hunting and gardening from the many different tribes and traditional cultures in the country.
To help protect our currency from counterfeiting, our banknotes have various security features. These include the slightly raised printing of the Bank of PNG logo and the numerals, the security thread in the star dust method and offset printing used on the National parliament building featuring multi-coloured patterns.
The most advanced security features are that the banknotes are in polymer substrate. Secondly, the see through clear window with printed Bank of PNG logo and the numerals in micro lettering and the embossed figures. Finally, the third security feature evident on the notes is the intaglio printing of certain designs on the front and back of the note. The other advanced security features are also incorporated into the note but can only been seen under a UV light.
The Bank issues new notes to commemorate certain occasions for the country. In April 1985 the Bank issued a new redesigned K10.00 Banknote commemorating the new National Parliament Building.
In 1991 the Bank issued its first K2.00 Banknote in polymer substrate with the Bank logo in a clear window to commemorate the 9th South Pacific games held in the country. A special overprint of the South Pacific Games was placed on the note to mark the occasion. Again in 1995 a special K2.00 in polymer was issued to commemorate the 20th anniversary of independence.
The Bank issued its first fifty toea coin in 1980 to commemorate the 4th South Pacific Festival or Arts held in PNG. Also in 1991 the second issue of fifty toea coins was introduced to commemorate the ninth South Pacific games held in PNG.
On the 19th of April 2000 a special K5.00 commemorative note was issued to mark the 25th anniversary of our kina and toea currency. This note retains the same design and security elements of the existing K5.00 note but incorporates a special overprint of the stylised PNG flag in a silver filigree foil on the front lower right side of the note.

As unrest in Iran spreads, President Trump has an opportunity to kill the Iran nuclear deal he despises. And so far, European allies aren’t doing a thing to stop him.
Protests throughout Iran are cresting right as a crisis point for the landmark nuclear deal approaches.
Starting on January 13, a week from Saturday, Trump will face a deadline over reimposing economic sanctions that the U.S. agreed to lift under the 2015 nuclear deal. Despite the agreement, those sanctions have remained in place, technically; it’s just that president Obama and, thus far, Trump, periodically agree not to enforce them, keeping the deal alive.
In other words, as unrest in Iran spreads, Trump has an imminent opportunity to kill the Iran nuclear deal he despises, all by doing nothing.
And as of right now, there’s no wave of concerted allied diplomacy aimed at keeping him in, The Daily Beast has learned.
That’s in marked contrast to the last time Trump brought the U.S. to the precipice of withdrawing from the Iran deal was October, when he “decertified” Iranian compliance with the deal, even though the International Atomic Agency has consistently found Iran to live up to its obligations under what’s formally called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Before he did, the White House and the State Department endured a full-court press from the U.S.’ traditional European allies to save the deal.
But the Europeans are relatively silent this time. “We’re not pressing the White House, which is aware of our position,” a senior European diplomat told The Daily Beast.
Another European diplomat from a different country confirmed the lack of a concerted pressure campaign, saying the Trump administration and Congress knows full well the Europeans want the agreement to remain intact. This second diplomat said they remain “concerned by the possible implications” of Washington reneging on the nuclear deal.
As Politico observed, if Trump declines to waive sanctions, the implications for the deal’s future are far greater than any decertification. (After all, the whole American “certification” concept was a product of U.S. legislation, not the deal itself.) The Iranians will be able to claim that the nuclear deal is dead, that Americans killed it and that it ought to no longer be subject to the negotiated restraints on its nuclear program.
“No question about it, we would be in material noncompliance” if the U.S. sanctions regime returns, said Jarret Blanc, who during the Obama administration was the State Department official in charge of overseeing the American end of the deal.
It remains unclear why Trump devoted so much emphasis last fall to focus on decertification, instead of the more urgent question of waiving sanctions. National security adviser H.R. McMaster told legislators last fall that Trump could let the deal remain in place, —if Congress would get rid of the politically troublesome requirement of recertifying Iran’s compliance over and over again. If it didn’t, McMaster suggested, Trump might not waive the sanctions when they come due in January. But Congress hasn’t revised Iran legislation, and it’s unclear if McMaster was bluffing, freelancing or heralding what happens in two weeks.
A representative for the National Security Council did not respond to a request for comment.
“If the president was inclined before [the protests] not to waive the sanctions and violate JCPOA, he’s probably more inclined today than a couple weeks ago,” said retired CIA analyst Paul Pillar, the former senior-most intelligence analyst for the Middle East.
The Trump administration took its first steps—besides the president’s tweets—toward pressuring Iran and encouraging the protests on Tuesday. They had little to do with the nuclear deal. The State Department urged the regime to remove digital restrictions on Iranian access to social media and secure messaging platforms, and called on Iranian citizens to use VPN tunnels to circumvent obstructions to those tools inside the country. The U.S. has an “obligation not to stand by,” said Undersecretary of State Steve Goldstein.
But while economic pressure on the Iranian regime would take time to reemerge, a restoration of sanctions “immediately strengthens the regime line, that [the protests] are a matter of our external enemies, especially America, trying to do us in,” Pillar said.
And that restoration could come as early as January 13.

First, that you actually have a good home equity value. This means that the amount of your unpaid mortgage is considerably smaller than the amount of your house fair market value. In fact, this is how your home’s equity is actually computed. You deduct your unpaid mortgage from the fair market value of your property. You end up with your equity. If the amount is big, your equity is big; and so, your chances of securing bigger home equity loan with low interest rate are also great. This applies regardless of the amount of your credit score.

Raymond Owl, a First Nations elder and environmental activist, handles his hunting rifle in Sagamok Anishnawbek First Nation on Nov. 21, 2016. His organization, Traditional Ecological Knowledge Elders Group, wants an herbicide banned in traditional First Nations territory.
When Raymond Owl hunts and forages for medicines in woodlands around his Northern Ontario First Nation, he routinely finds blistering, withered plants and seldom sees game. The forest is part of a tract of land sprayed with glyphosate, the active ingredient in an herbicide used to expedite the growth of coniferous trees after clear-cutting. And Mr. Owl argues the effects of the chemical impede traditions on which his culture hinges.
"You don't want to take a chance on it," he said. "If you go up the road here where they sprayed, everything is black, like a forest fire."
Not only does the forest near Sagamok Anishnawbek First Nation – about an hour's drive southwest of Sudbury – yield fewer fruits, he said, but his people are reluctant to take from the bush in case the flora and fauna are contaminated. Mr. Owl refuses to harvest in these affected areas; and for roughly two decades, he's noticed marked changes to the environment.
"If the forests weren't sprayed, we would harvest as we please without any fear."
Mr. Owl, 73, co-founded an organization called the Traditional Ecological Knowledge Elders Group (TEK) to protect a large swath of forest along the northern shore of Lake Huron between Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury that totals about 5.1 million hectares. TEK says glyphosate is harming their traditional territories, ways of life and consequently infringing upon their vested rights as First Nation people.
After two years of sending letters to provincial and federal officials, TEK organized a peaceful demonstration of about 50 First Nation elders and activists on Parliament Hill. They held placards emphasizing their discontent with what they consider a "poison."
They want the department to abolish the use of glyphosate in their territories. TEK has been pressing Health Canada and the Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) for a moratorium. But the group has made little headway.
Calls placed to forestry and helicopter companies in early September revealed that glyphosate was used in the area during the spraying season. And MNRF said it was considering the moratorium request, but never followed up with a timely decision after telling The Globe and Mail it would.
Glyphosate was designed by Monsanto in the early 1970s and is the most widely sold herbicide in Canada. The agent is deployed by air over portions of Ontario forests to eliminate unwanted plants – like underbrush – from stifling the early growth of coniferous trees, which are harvested for commercial use.
And it is quite effective. That's because it's systemic (it impacts the entire plant), said Paleah Black Moher, head of environmental exposures at CAREX Canada, a surveillance project studying exposures to known and suspected carcinogens in the country. "How it works is essentially stopping the enzyme that is responsible for producing amino acids, which are the basic building blocks of growth. It essentially hinders growth. It will eventually kill the plant," she said.
International health organizations have given glyphosate mixed safety reviews. This year, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization said in a joint review that it is "unlikely" to be a cancer-causing agent. In 2015, however, the WHO's International Agency for Cancer Research said it's "probably carcinogenic to humans" after going through studies of agricultural exposures since 2001.
In Canada, the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), a branch of Health Canada responsible for approving the use of a given pesticide or herbicide, determined after reviewing scientific studies that "products containing glyphosate do not present unacceptable risks to human health or the environment when used according to the proposed label instructions."
The herbicide is treated differently from province to province. Quebec, for example, banned the use of the substance in public forests in 2001. In Ontario, glyphosate is used, but is sprayed on less than 0.2 per cent of the 28 million hectares of managed Ontario Crown forests (48,655 hectares in total – a land mass greater than Montreal), said Michael Irvine, a vegetation-management specialist with the MNRF. Part of traditional Anishinabek territory is included in aerial spraying programs.
Decisions to deploy glyphosate are related to site characteristics, said Jolanta Kowalski, a senior MNRF media-relations officer. "Temperature needs to be between 5 and 21 degrees. The relative humidity has to be greater than 50 per cent and winds need to be less than 8 kilometres an hour. There are 60-120-metre buffer zones for aerial applications left on all creeks and streams that are within or beside the spray blocks."
Mr. Irvine calls TEK's concerns a "misconception."
"It's used following tree-planting operations to ensure that the seedlings that are planted survive and grow," he said. "Our interest is in renewing a forest that's comparable to the forest that was harvested."
Glyphosate's half-life – a measure of how long a compound remains in soil and water – depends on conditions, he said. "If conditions are warm, moist and aerobic, then it breaks down really quickly – maybe a week or less." The longest period has been more than 100 days in dry conditions, he added. According to CAREX Canada, glyphosate can remain in the soil for 47 days on average. And because it dissipates, forests eventually regain their biodiversity, said Mr. Irvine.
"It may take several years," he said. "But all the species [like deciduous trees and varieties of undergrowth] that were represented on that site before application will come back."
But the linchpin of TEK's fight goes beyond any scientific review of the herbicide. It says the use of glyphosate is an infringement of indigenous rights enshrined in the Robinson-Huron Treaty of 1850.
The treaty states that the Crown promises "…to allow the said Chiefs and their Tribes the full and free privilege to hunt over the Territory now ceded by them, and to fish in the water thereof, as they have heretofore been in the habit of doing."
A letter written by TEK to provincial and federal departments on Sept. 15 calling for a moratorium says the spraying of herbicides violates these rights.
"Herbicides destroy the interdependent balance of all life, which is the core philosophy of the Anishinabek," says the letter. "We do not want to collect medicines from our lands that might have been affected, hunt animals that consumed plants that have been poisoned, nor do we want to fish in water that have been contaminated by herbicides."
Stephen O'Neill, who spent 16 years as a judge for a superior court in northeast Ontario before retiring, is providing TEK with legal counsel and says the decision to use glyphosate has been unilateral because the group has not been adequately consulted.
"In an ideal world, [consultation] would mean sincere attempts to understand each other's position and engage in good-faith processes of communication," said Mr. O'Neill. "It's not a one-way street.
"TEK is saying you have to be involved through the process of consultation and accommodation with respect to treaty rights and impacts of this government action on those rights."
Legal action could be on the horizon, he added, depending on what Ottawa and Ontario choose to do with TEK's requests. In the Sept. 15 letter, it gave the federal and provincial governments a deadline of Sept. 30 to arrange a meeting.
"We [still] haven't heard a thing," said Mr. Owl.
If First Nations people want to be consulted, it's up to the province, said a Health Canada spokesperson, who didn't want to be identified.
But TEK has persistently addressed letters to Ottawa in hopes Health Canada will implement a ban of glyphosate in its territory.
Dr. Philpott said in a July 4 letter to the Member of Parliament in the area, NDP MP Carol Hughes, that TEK's concerns are being "carefully considered" and Health Canada's PMRA will arrange a conference call. TEK shut down the offer.
"We don't want no teleconference," said Mr. Owl. "We [the elders] want to know who you are and look at you. Oral communication and seeing is the makeup of First Nations. It's not to complain, it's for them to hear what's happening in our territory."
‘If the forests weren’t sprayed, we would harvest as we please without any fear,’ Raymond Owl says.
Some communication between TEK and the province has occurred, though. On July 12, Wayne Fiset, MNRF district manager from Sault Ste. Marie, sent a letter to Willie Pine, co-leader of TEK, notifying the group of imminent herbicide spraying in the region. The ministry also acknowledged indigenous rights, saying in an e-mail: "Ontario is committed to respecting existing Aboriginal and Treaty rights and to meeting the province's constitutional and other obligations in respect of Aboriginal peoples, including the duty to consult. Ministry officials continue to meet with First Nations to discuss forestry issues, including aerial spraying."
One such meeting occurred on July 27. It was on this date that TEK requested a suspension of the herbicide. The following day, Patrick Wedaseh Madahbee, the Grand Council Chief of the Anishinabek Nation-Union of Ontario Indians – which represents 40 First Nations in Ontario – also called for a moratorium.
"The elders are getting very concerned. We've been trying to give this message to federal and provincial [governments] and they keep coming back and saying the toxins in this stuff is at acceptable levels," said Chief Wedaseh Madahbee. "They're not the ones that are eating from and living in the environment. The people on that land have lived there for years, and they've seen a difference as a result of spraying."
In terms of federal government efforts to consult with TEK, Jason Flint, director of the PMRA, offered the elders a chance to meet with an advisory council next February.
"It's an opportunity to get across what [TEK's] concerns are about these pesticides," said André Gagnon, a Health Canada media-relations officer.
Mr. Owl, though, is adamant.
"Advisory don't mean they'll listen to me," he said. "They haven't listened to us yet.
"The bottom line is to stop aerial spraying. If it destroys anything, grass, leaves, we're against it."
B.C. projects create testing ground for UN declaration on indigenous rights B.C. warns UNDRIP could put jobs and the economy at risk if First Nations stop projects like the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, Justine Hunter reports.

Showdown over water looms for Alberta reserves The province and several First Nations appear headed for a showdown over who controls water on aboriginal lands, one that risks leaving some reserves without water during droughts, Matthew McClearn reports.

I prefer to begin my story with a special family member, a dog called Mantou. I still remember the first day I spent with him. When I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and murmured about the endless noises he had made the whole night, I discovered him peeing on my lovely carpet just beside my lovely bed with an innocent look! Nevertheless, Mantou has dramatically influenced my daily life. In order to be a good owner, I have to collect an abundance of strange information on the feeding of dogs. I started to understand every movement of this little creature.
One day when I was doing my biology homework, I found that on the bottom of the page I was working on was a piece of short knowledge which discussed the similarities between the genes of dogs and those of human. Attracted by the interesting knowledge about dogs, I forgot to do my task and went though all the notes of every page in that book. I suddenly realized how deeply I was into Biology!
In fact, when I was just a primary school student, I enjoyed watching the science program on CCTV 10, especially the documentary about rare genetic diseases. One episode made a deep impression on me: a hairy boy born in a small Indian village. The furry look made the boy’s life rather difficult. Every beginning of the semester was the most terrible time for him because the little boy had to hide behind his parents to avoid being stared by others. I do not know how his life is now, but what I do know is that just sitting in front of the TV is not enough. I cannot wait to go to a university to find out the secret of genes! The wish to save more life is the simple reason why I concentrate more on biology experiment than other students in high school study and struggle to attend an advanced campus.
"I want to have a chance to sing a song in front of them! I want to prove myself."
"Are you crazy? What if you forget the lyrics? What if people leave here because of your bad performance?"
Just at this time, I heard the words from the singer," …the stage is for everybody, you can also stand here to sing…" which instantly cheered me and impelled me to walk to the microphone. Holding the microphone, I tried to emit a sound but seemed to lose my voice. Each cell of the body was shivering. The schoolboy picked up his guitar and gave me a confident smile. Hearing the melodies of the guitar, I closed my eyes to sing my favorite song, imagining that I was standing on a real, bright stage. After finishing the song, I was so intense that I left the stage without looking up at the crowd, but the warm applause did vividly echoed in my ears!
After the performance, I asked the cool boy if I could join such kind of performance on weekends. Surprisedly, he was pleased to have a companion. So this is how my wonderful music weekends began.
We are our own worst enemy. I believe that challenging ourselves is the key to success. Because of this, I become more and more confident to taste the colorful world.

It seems as though winter is finally over, and Teddy and I have been spending time in the yard. She and I have been trying to figure out what type of plants we have here.
If you can help identify these two items, we’d both be very grateful.
Teddy just came back from the groomer, so she is looking quite clean and well coiffed.
When I bought the house in October, this "thing" was a bundle of twigs on the ground, and we put up a trellis for it. I thought it was wisteria, but now that the wisteria has blossomed in other places in the yard, I see that it is NOT wisteria. I would be grateful for any insights.
Is this a flowering plant? Is it an ornamental plant?
Or did I just spend $200 to put a trellis up for poison ivy?
Now flowers yet, but what is it?
Shown above is a clipping from a fruit tree in the front yard. I suspect it's an apple tree, but I really don't know. I do think it's a fruit tree of some kind. Any insights?
The leaves have little furry edges.
Teddy and I appreciate your help.
As I sneak up on the two-year anniversary of my husband’s suicide, I seem to be struggling to survive. I am in great need of a “five minute” turn.
There are days that I think that I’m going to be okay, and other days when my sufferings are great.
In the last two years, everything has changed. The first six months after his death, I was in shock, and stumbled around - from pillar to post - trying to find a moment or two of solace. The second six monts, I was still in shock but (thanks to friends), found a rental home.
Last October, I purchased a small brick ranch in Suffolk, Virginia. Last month, I purchased a new car to replace my aging Camry. In the last few weeks, I’ve started looking through all those boxes that were hastily packed two years ago, only to find that I gave away or discarded about 50% of my earthly possessions.
My memory has returned, but most of those memories of life with him are upsetting, unnerving or devastating. There are no good memories left. They’re all tainted.
If you’re reading this, I would be grateful for your prayers for guidance and wisdom and health and wholeness.
In short, a turning of this situation.

Low oil prices have provided a windfall to consumers around the world. In the United States, the second largest importer of crude (which was recently overtaken by China), millions of motorists have seen their gas bills plummet over the past year.
The head of the U.S. Energy Information Administration said in January said that low oil prices provided a “tremendous positive impact” on the American economy.
That is because the U.S. is not just a major oil importer, but also a massive oil producer. The fall in oil prices has inflicted widespread damage on oil-producing states like Texas, Alaska, North Dakota, and Louisiana. If not for severe cutbacks in capital investment on behalf of American oil companies and other related sectors, U.S. GDP would have been 0.75 percentage points higher.
The billions of dollars in slashed investment ripples through all sorts of industrial activity – from manufacturing and heavy equipment, to financial services, commercial real estate and even housing. Related: How Much Longer Can The Oil Age Last?
Oil prices have rebounded quite a bit since March, but how quickly drillers return to the oil patch is unclear. Rig counts continue to decline, having fallen by an additional 11 rigs for the week ending on May 8. Employment in the oil and gas sector is now at its lowest level in more than a year, with 3,300 more positions eliminated in April. Oil and gas jobs have now declined in four months out of the last six.
The muddied economic outcome from the oil bust comes as a surprise. In April, the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas concluded that “[d]espite the growing importance of the oil and gas sector in recent years, the U.S. as a whole benefits” from low oil prices. That sentiment has certainly been the conventional wisdom as of late, but given the latest macroeconomic data, it may not capture the entire picture.

School is a good time for young adults to find themselves and to really find out what they are created from. There is a lot to discover, however. Some individuals only actually grow to be secure at college when it’s about time to have! Don’t let that be you. Below are a few great college or university suggestions.
1 tip that can help you examine in university would be to make oneself flash credit cards in case you have an examination coming. Display charge cards are really easy to make. Your can purchase low-cost crawl charge cards and publish questions on 1 part and replies in the other. You and also a classmate are able to utilize them to examine together.
You should not take into account likely to college unless of course you have a good idea of the level of job you would like or at a minimum have got a basic idea. Talk to a profession specialist for more information about your different alternatives and spend some time to do some research about various applications and universities.
Figure out how to publish an essay making use of the “5 Paragraph Essay” file format. This is a basic essay file format that may be often taught in primary or middle college. Even though it is straightforward to learn, it really is invaluable in college. This format can help you very easily make it through most essay projects.
You will possess use of a number of careers on campus, as being a university student. Should you not currently have a great career, you need to search for a career on university. You should choose a work that will enable you to obtain newer capabilities and fulfill some interesting folks.
As an alternative to selecting lessons that are recognized to be “effortless,” select the ones that are demanding and fascinating. There may be excellent pleasure in driving your emotional boundaries. Hard classes can help you find out more, and may also offer you valuable associates which can be of support once you begin your work.
Although you may love espresso, don’t buy it in a coffee shop. Coffeehouses fee a lot of. Produce your gourmet coffee as opposed to buying it with a coffee writing a research summary shop.

Because girls are unlikely than guys to choose these career fields of research, there are many scholarships and grants available for females. These job areas also generally wind up being more economically helpful right after graduation.
If you are researching to get a examination, it is crucial that you have a break once in awhile. Should you not permit a rest every now and then, learning will take a toll for both your both mental and physical overall health, specially. Take a stroll or watch some Tv set to get a little while.

1. Restocking the salad bar at The Vineyard restaurant.
You wouldn’t eat the hard-boiled eggs at a salad bar if you saw where they come from.
And I don’t mean the chickens.
2. The photo processing counter at Service Merchandise.
We would wait for certain customers to drop off their film.
The waitresses wore naugahyde mini-skirts and the cooks wore leather-like aprons.
Reminiscent of a bar in San Francisco that I used to visit.
Except the women weren’t really women.
I loved the Texas Toast at Bonanza the most: A huge, thick slab of white bread, drenched with a melted butter-like-substitute, then char-broiled over the open fire until crispy.
If we wanted real butter, we had to pay 5 cents extra.
If caught using real butter, the manager would throw a fit and threaten to fire us.
Gee, I wonder what he’s doing now?
4. Scooping Ice Cream at the University Deli.
We perfected making that one HUGE scoop…one that was hollow inside. The moment they got outside and took their first lick, the ball of ice cream would flop over onto the sidewalk.
People never learn: Don’t mess with people serving you food.

I smiled at your website list because I was at PostSecret right before I came here. Excellent taste we have.
If only I could break off my affair with Defamer and switch to Gawker… The NY native in me knows it’s the right thing to do, but the CA dweller I have become is so frickin’ committed.
I’ve always suspected those hard-boiled eggs were cut from long tubes of egg-like stuff… the slices were just a little too uniform. Are they, are they???

Marianne: Where did you say you lived??
Jessica: PostSecret is amazing; lovely and touching at the same time.
Nina: Defamer is kinda dull to me. I guess Gawker reflects the excitement of NY and I always find something really funny there.
Cathy: The hard-boiled eggs come from a big plastic tub. You pry off the lid and they’re all swimming in some sort of chemical solution. Icky.
I used to call the salad bar “The Trough” because of the way people would behave around it. I was in Las Vegas once and the people at the table next to me were eating so fast they could barely breathe. Literally. I thought they were going to pass out. And it wasn’t from the sulfides. Oink Oink!

I was an extra in a commercial shot at CDG last week (NOT as glamorous as it sounds) and met a gorgeous ex-model who was to be an extra the following day in a Sopranos episode being filmed at the Hotel du Louvre! Some restaurant scene, I think. It’ll be interesting to see how Paris fits into the final episodes…is there a French Mob??

David, dearest, I failed you on the last one so I promise you that I will make you proud this time. But really, I can’t believe you watch the Nanny..
Six Feet Under — genius.
Your ice cream cone story? Had me rolling from side to side in my chair, laughing.
Gawker? I nearly fell off my chair when Gawker linked to my website yesterday. That was more exciting than living in Sting’s house.
The Sirloin Pit? Yea, that SO makes me think of “Tales of the City”… Brian should have worked there.
Funny, as I was reading your post I was mentally answering with my own. Guess I’d better get cracking – haven’t been tagged in a while and I was starting to feel like a wallflower in the blogging world!
I too used to work a salad bar (at Arby’s) and was somewhat disgusted by the large bag labelled “processed pasteurized shredded American cheese food.” Yum.
Talking of salad bars…my mum just emailed me from downunder and said all the Sizzlers have been shut down – as they found rat pellets in thru the salads in the salad bars!
and I love your comment about your old boss…I too say to myself when thinking of past jobs and bosses – Ha! I live in Paris – so there!
Jeff: Delete me not. I think it’s the same program, if it’s the one where this obnoxious guy invites people onto his show, then yells at them for the entire program (imagine if you did that to your guests!) The entry is “….shows that I’ve never watched”; I’m not a fan. Maybe if he yelled at the people who deserve it, I might be more inclined!
great site-i agree with so much of what you like-i love the nanny and all the jewish stuff they threw in-i am crazy for freeway-fried chicken, don’t get me started-paris, sopranos, hawaii-what am i doing at work-my mind is wondering…have a great day!!
And I did. And she was right. And here it is in your blog, which I haven’t been able to read for a week or so.
Oh, I see. You’re safe, then :) I misunderstood and thought that you were recommending it also. Carry on!
David, you are a treat! I love Pandora and have been telling all about it! Auntie Mame, the Nanny, and Duck Confit all in the same post. That’s why we love you.
I’ve discovered three other bloggers this week who’ve lived in Ithaca–I’m thinking that there’s a connection between Ithaca and Berkeley (I’ve lived in both) and foodies. And thanks for the heads up on the egg yolks!
Oh man, you STINKER! i fell behind and i just read this. NOT AGAIN!
It’s bad enough that you put up that delicious picture of chouquettes…and now you tag me??

Australian road traffic authorities can begin the roll out of intelligent transport systems (ITS) that enable vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-person, or vehicle-to-infrastructure communications, thanks to new regulations introduced by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) on Thursday.
The Radiocommunications (Intelligent Transport Systems) Class Licence 2017 regulations allow the 5.9 GHz band to be used for ITS in Australia, and will support the use of complying wireless technologies and devices.
The new regulations also make the local guidelines consistent with the ITS arrangements in major vehicle markets such as the United States and European Union, ACMA explained.
"ITS are expected to make roads smarter, safer, and cleaner through the use of communications technologies," ACMA acting chair James Cameron said. "The new Class Licence will facilitate the rollout of the latest transportation communications technology, putting Australia on par with other nations adopting ITS."
The new Class Licence authorises a person to operate an ITS station subject to the condition that it must be operated on a frequency, or within a range of frequencies, greater than 5855 MHz and not greater than 5925 MHz; and at radiated power that does not exceed a maximum EIRP of 23 dBm/MHz.
The ITS station must also not be operated within 70kms of the Murchison Radioastronomy Observatory, and it must comply with ETSI Standard EN 302 571.
Additional conditions of the Class Licence also dictate a transmitter, or a group of transmitters, must not be operated in a place accessible by the public if the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the transmitter or group of transmitters exceeds the general public exposure limits specified in the ARPANSA Standard, which is published by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency.
The NSW Department of Transport has been undertaking a connected vehicles trial for a number of years, connecting 60 trucks and 11 buses with road infrastructure such as traffic signals and hazard alerts.
Calling connected and autonomous vehicles "game-changing technology", the department said last year it was speaking with universities and other partners to analyse the collected data in order to predict and deploy safety, environmental, and traffic efficiency improvements, as well as moving to expand the trial to more areas and to 55 cars in an eventual goal of implementing on-demand public transport.
The Royal Automobile Club (RAC) of Western Australia and the Western Australian government will soon be trialling Navya's "Autonom" electric-powered autonomous vehicles in "a closed and controlled environment".
Perth is one of three cities picked for trials of the new type of electric vehicle and once the vehicles are rolled out, they will be bookable through a smartphone app, similar to ride-sharing services such as Uber.
RAC began trialling its driverless electric shuttle bus in August 2016. The RAC Intellibus, which carried more than 2,000 passengers along the South Perth Esplanade for a distance of about 3km, uses light detection and ranging, stereo cameras, GPS, odometry, and autonomous emergency braking to detect and avoid obstacles.
In Victoria, the Autonobus is driving students around La Trobe University campus as part of a trial until July this year. It uses 360-degree cameras and sensor systems to detect objects and runs a set route based on map coordinates.
The South Australian government also launched a AU$2.8 million trial of driverless shuttle buses in March, similar to the RAC Intellibus. Darwin, meanwhile, has entered its second phase of a driverless bus trial, although with a driver still on board for safety.
Will human drivers always be the weak link when sharing the road with autonomous vehicles?

Terms for this particular article are usually necklaces, cheap citrine jewelry, beauty, ingenuity.
It is a wonderful means of telling that you’re interested without being so hanky. Going to the hairdresser might be a nerve-wracking experience, particularly if you arent’ sure that which you desire. Don’t forget, listening is a component of good communication.
When you have a worship service you can attend do that. It doesn’t need to be for a particular occasion either. It is particularly important to witness to people who haven’t yet accepted Jesus as his or her private savior.

Session includes how many angels and spirit guides you have as your support team, negative thoughts forms, how many souls (with personality traits) and if any of them want to leave. Bonus can include: You are checked for entity attachments which include those who are lost from the light, ET's, elementals, and ancestors. Scanned for hidden/trapped emotions, ET implants, karmic cords, spells/curses and portals in home/land. Followed by a clearing and healing session. This is all done remotely and on the telephone.
Often when some breakthrough in science or technology occurs, several individuals, unbeknownst to each other, simultaneously arrive at the same conclusions. For the past twenty-five years Ruth Rendely has been waiting to see if someone else would come forward with the revolutionary discoveries about the nature of souls that she first comprehended in 1989.
At that time she was living in Japan, and began occasionally doing past-life readings, exploring her abilities as a psychic counselor, in addition to being a lecturer at two Tokyo universities. For some unknown reason, while she was doing these readings, a spirit guide began imparting some new information to her about human souls. He kept showing her clients who had more than one soul, and saying that it was normal.
This book is the result of that exploration, which reveals why souls might want to share a body, and what happens when they do. This theory helps to explain complexity in human behavior. Complex normal behavior can mean problems in relationships and career choices; while complex deviant behavior can mean murder, mayhem and suicide. Although most of us hold a reverential feeling about the nature of the soul, in reality souls vary in levels of maturity and treat bodies on a sliding scale between respect and disrespect.
Ruth has been shown instances of souls treating bodies much like teenagers going for a joy ride in a stolen car-riding for a few days, and then abandoning the car. What almost nobody realizes is that quite a few souls avoid attachment to a body before that body reaches physical maturity.
When Ruth's spirit guide first presented these theories to her, she was naturally dumbfounded, but after he trained her to practically apply them, she became convinced of their veracity. Since those early years, she has assisted souls in entering and exiting human bodies.
Her talents go beyond clearing entities, or lost souls, from a person's aura, which many adepts can do. With the help of spirit guides, Ruth has literally induced what the author Ruth Montgomery referred to as "Walk-ins". Most individuals who have experienced these changes have felt profound relief. Ruth has stopped counting the number of suicides that she helped to prevent in utilizing this knowledge and procedures.

With the risk of being the dullest ever opening to a blog post, did you know that, according to www.worldometers.info there have been 1,803,597 (and rising) blog posts published today? How do they know? I've no idea, but for the purposes of a flowing intro I won't be asking too many questions here.
With so many eager beavers tapping away at our keyboards, using our blogs to communicate to an audience, be it big or small, it's no surprise that brands have jumped right on in there and asked you, dear blogger, to spread a message on their behalf.
Now it's all fun and games when that very first email from a PR lands in your inbox. I was over the moon when I read that "Chill Factore want to work with you" because I flaming well wanted to work with Chill Factore too.
I know the response, "I jumped at the chance" is the standard write up response regarding any offer of collaborating, but I did genuinely jump at the chance.
The PR booked me in on a ski lesson at the level of my choice (anxious Bambi level please), with the agreement to write about my experience afterwards. At the time I was in the process of learning to ski anyway so it worked out splendidly. I could genuinely rave about my experience and honestly recommend the ski lessons because I loved going.
Blogging, in the beginning for sure, is a hobby that mainly consists of hitting publish and sending your beloved posts into an abyss. I would hedge my bets that all bloggers have asked themselves at some point "hellooooo, is there anybody out there? does ANYONE care about what I'm writing?"
So when you're actually asked to write about something it's hugely reassuring. It's basically someone saying you're doing ok at this, and that's exciting. I thought I'd hit the big time even if in reality it was just the big slope.
Now for the downside. It's not always quite as straight forward as grabbing your faux fur ski jacket and heading out to snow plough care free for the morning. For a newbie, deciding whether to say yes or no to the offers you receive, can be tricky.
There comes a time when you're faced with a quandary which is, in a nutshell, do I have to promote products that I'm just not that into if I want to succeed?
The initial reaction to this question is, or should be, a flat out NO absolutely not, I would never include anything on my blog that I don't absolutely love. But, when you're new to the game and haven't exactly got Channel hammering down your door, collaborations with other brands provide you priceless experience and practice. Not forgetting the fact that it's fun. I enjoy being sent an item and seeing what content I can create with it.
It's a toss up - should you polish the truth slightly and gain experience or stay absolutely true to yourself?
In an ideal world you would agree to review a product and aim to create an objective write up BUT that's easier said than done when have to send your content back to the PR for a final ok. Write a damning review and they won't work with you again.
I'll be honest with you, I've been lucky enough to have been sent a few items that I was excited about, but one or two that in reality I wouldn't have gone into a shop and bought for myself. These situations can leave you with a bad taste in your mouth (not literally, although that can't be said for all products).
You might not be head over heels with excitement about the offer on the table but building those relationships could lead to bigger and better things. It is after all, practice.
Maybe your reader might not quite buy it that you simply love a certain item that you've never once mentioned or even alluded to before and now you're 'obsessed with...', but, is there not an understanding?
Ask yourself this, do you think that Nicole Scherzinger, this very minute is tucking into a Muller Corner?
Do you think that Gary Lineker is, this very second in the midst of a panic stricken search through his kitchen cupboards, desperate to get his hands on another bag of Walkers crisps?
Do you think, even for a minute, that Kate Moss wears Rimmel makeup? Nah, me neither. Do we love her any less? Nope not really.
Although some bloggers may say they've never included anything on their blogs that they didn't absolutely love, I'm sure most have at some point in the early days. Promoting the odd product here and there seems to all be part of the blogging game. I suppose then the question is, do you want to play?
A line that you refuse to cross is helpful. Chuck any old thing on your site and it won't take long until your readers go elsewhere.
I said no to a Linen company I'd never heard of for example, who wanted me to write about their bedding which they weren't in a position to send me. Now it's not about the freebies, but it is about not wanting to promote items that stood every chance of being, for want of a better word, crap.
Would title would I run with? ... "My Top 10 Bedding Sets That Could Be Scratchy and Cheap But I Got Paid £20" ?
I also said no to a guest post about bingo, because, well bingo.
I vote treat your brand collaborations like you would your men. If it doesn't feel right it probably isn't.
Maybe the answer to, how do I get experience working with brands and stay true to myself, lies with disclosure. If you always disclose when an item has been sent to you, you get the experience you're after and the fun of creating content while your reader gets the transparency that they deserve.
Go for the opportunities you get but remember that line. Always remember that line. If the product in question runs the risk of maiming, laming or causing indigestion, just say no.
Thanks so much for reading. Feel free to leave a comment below if you have any thoughts on bloggers Vs brands. I'd be interested to hear them.
I can be so difficult trying to decide whether or not to collaborate with a brand, and I can most certainly agree that if you get an offer from a brand, it can make you feel like you have made it, but the definitely isn't the case.
