text: Not everyone knows how to fillet and prepare a branzino, but Chef Giovanni Novella was practically born doing it. The fish, otherwise known as European sea bass, is daily fare in Giovanni's hometown of Torre del Grecco, a fishing port between Naples and Sorrento in southern Italy. Giovanni was lucky enough to grow up right on the water, and fish almost every day in the summer. It's no wonder his style of cooking finds its center around seafood. "In Italy, the food culture is very powerful. I knew right away that cooking was my passion, and something that I wanted to do for the rest of my life," says Giovanni. So at age 14, he decided to study at a culinary school in Sorrento. Afterward, he was accepted into a prestigious pastry program in Amalfi, where he specialized in southern Italian desserts. During his five years of culinary school, Giovanni honed his skills in small restaurants along the coast of southern Italy. After graduating, he traveled and cooked across Europe, expanding his horizons to Germany, Greece, France, all around Italy, and finally to a luxury cruise ship that traveled around South America. Despite the wide variety of environments and foods he encountered, the one constant was restaurant life, and restaurant people. "Restaurant people tend to be creative and open to new ideas. I like to be challenged, and be around people and a culture that is always pushing me to challenge myself to be better." After his culinary journey, he spent three years working in Italy in fine dining before moving to San Diego, California, in 2011. Cooking in San Diego gave Giovanni an opportunity to balance his experiences from Italy and his travels with American-style cuisine, and to blend the flavors from different continents. "My favorite thing about restaurants is using ingredients-both local and from around the world-to create new dishes and flavors that let each product shine," says Giovanni, who loves getting to know the customers and hearing their feedback on new or classic dishes. "I'm excited to be in Madison, and to experience this city and culture. My wife grew up in Madison and has always told me what a great place this is to live, and what a great "food" city it is. I am excited to raise our growing family here, and enjoy all that the city has to offer." And while Giovanni spent a good part of his life fishing on the breathtaking coast of Italy, there's one thing Madison has to offer that he's never experienced. "I've never fished in a lake before-I can't wait to get out on the lake!"

Drug tests which are hair based are among the most difficult to pass since you can’t really carry out tests at home and THC is found inside the cuticle of the hair root in a part called the cortex.
Regular shampoos no matter how clarifying are simply going to have no effect.
Zydot Ultra Clean is a product designed for drug users with high levels of toxins in their body and it has been known to help pass drug tests with as little as two washes prior to the test.
When compared with premium hair detoxification shampoos such as Nexxus Aloe Rid which cost well above a $100 this is a very affordable yet effective option. The shampoo can be ordered via discreet shipping for only $35.95.
As an employee you will need to undergo drug tests repeatedly so you won’t be spending a fortune in the long run. One bottle lasts for quite a few washes anyway even when used liberally as the product requires.
Order from Testclear.com or pick up the shampoo from your closest pharmacy. Since this is a cheaper shampoo it needs to be used in conjunction with a conditioner and a deep cleaning purifying treatment which are included in the pack.
It claims to dissolve all THC and related toxins from the cortex. In most hair tests only 1.5 inches of the hair from the root is tested so this product gives you the all-clear.
The shampoo performs the most basic function which is revealing the follicle of the hair by removing all dirt and grime and clogging toxins. It exposes the cortex with its harsh formula so that the other products might then do their job.
The Purifying treatment which is designed to be used next penetrates into the cortex to leech out the toxins and the THC. It also dissolves many chemicals so that they might be rinsed from the hair afterwards. There is no need to worry about anything other than the roots of the hair as this is the only part which will actually be tested.
The conditioner just like any regular one makes your hair healthy and silky and makes sure there is no dryness or tangles when you begin to comb out your hair. This will also later give the illusion of healthy hair and a great diet.
Remember to use all this products on the same day as your test. Many people repeat the process twice if they are paranoid or really heavy users but once is quite enough to pass your test.
First step is to wet your hair and apply half of the shampoo in the pack and massage your scalp with it. Leave the shampoo on for about 10 minutes. After that you rinse the product out.
Secondly you apply the purifier, leave on for 10 minutes and then rinse. After that you use what remains of the shampoo to wash and rinse again. In the end you apply the conditioner again leaving on for 10 minutes and then rinsing well.

As poor economic conditions deepen and uncertainty in the market due to Brexit continues to gnaw away at business confidence levels, there’s one sector that is bucking the trend this year. New research shows that almost two thirds (63%) of community businesses reported feeling confident about their financial prospects for the year ahead; a rise of 16% on the previous year. This contrasts dramatically with the most recent Federation of Small Businesses figures, which showed a drop in confidence in that sector from 20.0 to 1.1 on their index measurement. (Quarters 1-3 2017).
Commissioned by Power to Change, the independent trust supporting community businesses in England, and carried out for the first time by CFE Research, the new report The Community Business Market 2017 estimates that there are around 6,600 community businesses in England with a combined market income of £1.2 billion and assets totalling £0.7 billion.
There were clear expectations of growth as the majority of community businesses surveyed expect to increase volunteer numbers and income from trading, contracts and grants and over a fifth plan to access crowdfunding, having not done so previously. Almost half also expect to hire more paid staff.
Power to Change is supporting many of these community businesses. One of them, Homebaked, a community bakery in Anfield, says it can measure its market growth in the number of pies they produce and sell which has risen from 500 a week in 2015 to 2,000 a week now, thanks to a grant from Power to Change. Another grant from the trust has enabled them to refurbish the flat above the bakery for letting to local young people at affordable rents. This award-winning business is now completely self-sustainable and having a significant impact in the regeneration of the local area.
 Whilst the number of community businesses in 2017 is lower than the 2016 estimate, a direct comparison of market number figures between years is not possible as the research method adopted this year triangulates data collected from community businesses directly through a survey and longer interviews with a number of secondary data sources. This is a more robust way to provide a market estimate compared to past studies but does not offer a like for like comparison.
To assess market size in 2017, estimates from previous years (2015 and 2016) are reproduced where possible. However, there are two main differences which have a major impact on this year’s estimates. First, the 2017 estimate is based, where possible, on data that can be verified by an existing source. In many cases, this may represent an underestimate depending on the secondary data sources used, especially where sector estimates are derived from primary research data. For the sake of transparency, we document all assumptions that have been made and data sources used to derive the estimates of the market size. Second, new data has become available in some sectors, some of which improves estimates. Our assessment is also based on a combined online and Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) survey of 259 community businesses, interviews with 43 individuals from across the sector and a desk-based review of existing evidence, secondary databases and literature.

Nashik: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Nashik has decided to make posters about the ill effects of tobacco and paste them at medical shops across the city and the district as a part of its awareness campaign against tobacco which started on Thursday.
The additional joint commissioner of FDA, Nashik, Bhushan Patil said, "this is part of our campaign against consumption of tobacco products. Last week we booked nearly 200 pan stalls and shops into the sale of tobacco product within 100 meter radius of schools. Now we are working on spreading awareness among people about the ill effects of tobacco products."
Patil said, "the drive is being conducted under the guidance of Harshadeep Kamble, commissioner, FDA, Mumbai and Harish Baijal, joint commissioner, vigilance, FDA, Mumbai. The 200 shops and pan stalls were booked under the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act (COTPA) last week and a fine of Rs 42,000 was also collected by our drug inspectors and food safety officers."
On Thursday, a students' rally passed through different parts of the city to spread the message of the ill effects of tobacco . Nearly 300 students of two pharmacy colleges and the staff of FDA participated in the rally. On Friday, another rally was organised in the Nashik Road area with the help of school students. Officials said that the awareness spread through school students would help the students in the first place. Sankalp Group, an association of chemists in the Nashik Road area is assisting the FDA. in its awareness campaign.The awareness campaign, which started from Thursday would continue till Saturday, after which posters on ill effects of tobacco will be made and pasted near medical shops across the city and the district, said FDA officials.
FDA officials also added that the awareness rally against tobacco product was appreciated by all.

We are seeing a very advanced intrusion attempt and campaign going on on our website, systems and at some customers and friends (we also assume this is targeting multiple cyber security companies as well). It appears to be at the Nation-State level and very good tools and attempts are being used that are at the very least coordinated and thought out. We are currently collecting lots of data which is being collected and backed up for forensics later on. We are seeing IPs from US, India, China, Brasil, Russia, Germany, France in these attacks that are both IP based that target various specific apps and specific attack vectors. The campaign also includes AWS resources, MSNbot, Googlebot, Yandex and Baidu as well as what looks like coordinated Phishing attempts with multiple payloads as pdf, MSOffice files.
A trend can be seen to how the attackers first map out the target and search for about us and other details of the company members (we don’t publish our team and the listed address is not the actual company / for exactly this reason). We then see attempts to upload various payloads into areas not normally seen in other attacks an then coordinated phishing attempts that also leverage any and all social media and other online resources. Phishing attempts have picked up ever since we started to publish information on recent attacks and have been picking up over the last few days to much higher levels. Many phishing attempts are flagged domains but some are new and fresh. Since most “cyber” security companies keep their suffered attacks secret, we assume this is either targeted at us or at a dedicated group of companies engaged in APT and Risk research. We encourage anyone to come forward with details of similar activities so that we can coordinate with the appropriate teams.
We have a few things, this data highlights the reason why we talk about Risk Intelligence all the time and proactive security teams as well as methodologies. We work on data that are indicators of (potential) threats so that teams don’t have to scramble during an attack to find needles in haystacks. We save time, money and a huge amount of costs by using our own dogfood (CyberNSight, NeedleStack -TM HDN2017).
If you have domains that send you email that are from onmicrosoft.com or other official looking domains please be careful. Phishing emails with new payloads that are not getting picked up by email security appliances or Firewalls / UTMS are going around. Delete those emails!
If you see any DNS or Domains with similar names that yours, flag it, try to register those domains to stop tampering.
If you see internal emails going out to “weird IPs or connections” please flag those and block those addresses at your UTM/Firewall.
Integrate our Risk Intelligence into your systems for correlation.
Capture header information of emails you don’t know, send them to us (if you have no security audit services) We will look through the headers, review our current tracking lists and let you know what to do.
We hope you enjoyed another post, we will do the next one on owning routers and permitter devices using a nice little tool that we found in our darknet searches.
Until the next time, you saw it here first at Hakdefnet!

The major factor influencing plant communities that exist in an area is the climate, in association with rock type, landforms, water and soil. Locally climate may be modified.
Succession is the changes that occur over time as a plant community reaches a seral climax. It is influenced by - competition, number of new species and environmental stress, for example, lack or water.
An ecosystem passes through several stages before it reaches a climatic climax. These are called seres.
If natural conditions are not interrupted climactic climax is the final stage that seres reach. It is the natural vegetation that should be found in an area. For example, for most of the UK this would be deciduous woodland.
Plagio Climax: This is where the resultant community has been permanently influenced by humans. For example, by burning or grazing.
Sub climax: If vegetation does not reach its climax as a result of interruptions by local factors such as soil changes or differences in parent rock. The interruptions are known as arresting factors.

(cover image) A TiO2 crystal extracted from a T2D pancreas and its electron diffraction pattern. The resulting interference patterns indicate the findings outlined by the study in the journal, Chemical Research in Toxicology. Credit: Cockrell School of Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin.
In a pilot study by a team of researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, crystalline particles of titanium dioxide—the most common white pigment in everyday products ranging from paint to candies—were found in pancreas specimens with Type 2 diabetes, suggesting that exposure to the white pigment is associated with the disease.
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is not a known constituent of any normal human tissue. Our body normally has plenty of salts and compounds of metallic elements such as sodium, potassium, calcium, iron and magnesium, as well as lesser amounts of other metallic elements like cobalt or molybdenum but not of titanium.
The team examined 11 pancreas specimens, eight of which were from donors who had Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and three from donors who did not. Whereas the three non-diabetic pancreatic tissue specimens contained no detectable TiO2 crystals, the crystals were detected in all of the eight T2D pancreatic tissue specimens. The UT Austin researchers found more than 200 million TiO2 crystallites per gram of TiO2 particles in the specimens from T2D donors but not in the three specimens from non-diabetic donors. They published their findings last month in the journal Chemical Research in Toxicology.
The UT study was led by Adam Heller, professor in the McKetta Department of Chemical Engineering in the Cockrell School of Engineering, a 2007 recipient of the National Medal of Technology and Innovation and a lifelong champion for diabetes research. Heller was a leading member of the teams that designed FreeStyle, the first painless blood-glucose-monitoring system used by millions of people with diabetes worldwide; and the glucose-sensing technology of the FreeStyle Libre system, developed by Abbott Diabetes Care.
“Our initial findings raise the possibility that Type 2 diabetes could be a chronic crystal-associated inflammatory disease of the pancreas, similar to chronic crystal-caused inflammatory diseases of the lung such as silicosis and asbestosis,” Heller said.
In the mid-20th century, titanium dioxide pigment replaced highly toxic lead-based pigments. It became the most commonly used white pigment in paints and in foods, medications, toothpaste, cosmetics, plastics and paper. As a result, annual production of titanium dioxide has increased by 4 million tons since the 1960s.
According to the World Health Organization, the number of people with diabetes has quadrupled during the past four decades, affecting approximately 425 million people, with T2D comprising the majority of recorded cases. Although obesity and an aging population are still considered major factors leading to a rise in T2D cases worldwide, Heller’s study suggests that increased use of titanium dioxide may also be linked to the rapid rise in the number of people suffering from the disease.

we will see how we can use invariants for counting.
Bob is debugging his code.
And when he starts, he has only one pending bug.
But once he fixes one bug, three new bugs appear.
After several hours, Bob fixed 15 bugs.
So how many pending bugs he has at this moment?
Okay, let's see what's going on in this problem.
So in the beginning we have the following.
Bob has fixed zero bugs, and he has one bug pending.
After fixing one bug he has one bug fixed.
Okay, but now he has three pending bugs, why?
He fixed the one which was an issue, there, and three new appeared.
Okay, now he fixes the second bug.
Then he reduced the number of pending bugs by one.
But then, three new bugs appeared.
So, we have five pending bugs in total.
Then he fixes the next bug.
And again, he reduced five by one.
And then three new bugs appeared.
So he has seven bugs.
then three new bugs appeared, so he has nine, and so on.
is that the number of fixed bugs and pending bugs are related.
Indeed we can observe the following formula.
The number of pending bugs is equal to 1 plus the number of fixed bugs times 2.
bugs is increased by 1 and the number of pending bugs is increased by 2.
So this formula is true in the beginning and then it is true after each next step.
So, it is true always.
And this is our invariant, this equation is our invariant, it is always true.
And now we can use it to compute the answer to the problem.
We know that the number of fixed bugs at the point we are interested in is 15.
So the number of pending bugs is 15 times 2 plus 1 which is 31.

Working on decorating the house for Christmas with no lovelies at home is just not fun. It almost like work. Yes, Hubs is here but he is working on the outside because we are also getting ready for the Christmas oyster roast. There's LOTS to be done!
And then, yesterday evening, an early Christmas gift arrived in the form of our youngest lovely- DoodleBug. That's right! DoodleBug came over late yesterday afternoon and stayed until 11:00 which translates to a fantastic Saturday evening!
This picture is just so her oldest sister will know who got to put the topper on the tree...in other words, she's trying to stir up some trouble of the fun, sister variety.
and, of course, watched Christmas Vacation. Again. And it's not the last time this season either!
An icky day that turned out perfect thanks to our DoodleBug!
All you do, if the teaser interests you, is head over to the blog of the day and read! That's it!
The 25 Days of Christmas Blogshare post for today is at Happy Go Lucky! where you can find a recipe for MINT CHOCOLATE BROWNIES!
It was so nice to have her come over and spend time with her old parents. LOL We did have fun! Thanks!
Glad you had your daughter there. Looks like a fun evening!
What a wonderful surprise and such super pics to capture the day for all time!
Desiree- I had no idea she was coming! And then stayed until 11:00ish! What a great kid, eh?
Aw, so sweet of her to come over! Did she know you were doing the decorating? Mine would avoid the place if they did, lol!
We're leaving our decorating till next week.
Mimi- She did know we were decorating! The lovelies really enjoy decorating for Christmas they just aren't at home anymore. So this was a huge treat for us!
So glad your day was such fun with your lovely daughter. Love unplanned days that turn out so well don't you? Tree pics are beautiful. Hugs!
The perfect day, couldn't of gotten any better (well unless the other lovelies came home and that just isn't always possible). I am so glad you had a great day.
Take care and have a blessed week. See you tomorrow with you updates.
So much more fun with girls home to help!
I am an empty nester also, so I know that feeling. It's not as much fun to decorate the tree without my son. but he will be here soon, Anyway, I am a new follower from 25 Days of Christmas. I have visited your blog several times now, and I really enjoy it. Happy Holidays!!
Kelly- Thanks! I just hopped over to your blog and returned the follow!
Barb-Thanks! I love them too- it's a good thing we know how to go with the flow!
Julie- You got that right! Thank you so much!
Teri- Just got back from returning the follow! And I agree that it's not near as much fun without them at home!
Your daughter is a gorgeous gem .... no wonder you were happy to have her stop by ;-). And your tree looks fab dahlink .... I don't you fancy doing mine?!!
What a beautiful tree. I'm so happy for you - daughters visiting and a day full of fun. The house just doesn't seem the same when the children aren't their to share it with you. I miss my children and hope they come around soon for a surprise visit. Have a wonderful day!
Wish I'd read this post before I came home for Christmas. Then I could have taken off the tree-topper, beat my sister over the head with it, and put it back on myself. Hmph.

text: In a normal year we would celebrate the desire that everyone in every nation and region experience the fullness of human rights. This isn’t a normal year. Some would have us bicker that others aren’t worthy of “special treatment.” What happened to treat others as you would be treated? Especially at this time of year, you’d think we would want the best for everyone, instead of limiting the good we experience to us and our own. Every person and family should be free and have full access to the good (rights) that many of us enjoy. This shouldn’t be some political “us against them” thing. We do better when all of us experience our full human rights.

The best luxury floor plans combine great functionality with dazzling form - no matter the size. We understand that luxury comes in a wide variety of sizes, styles and layouts (and, perhaps most importantly, budgets). Our Laurel apartment--#3204—may not be Royal Oaks' largest residence, but it is certainly big in character.
Dubbed "The Penthouse" by the 14 residents living there, the 3rd floor of The Illingworth Center houses only three unique floor plans and the Laurel is one of them. This floor plan is perfect for couples who like to keep private bedroom spaces and also ideal for a single lady or gentleman who likes a little more room to call their own. In fact, one of the bedrooms makes a perfect media area, keeping the living room free for socializing without a TV in sight.
This two-bedroom, two-bath apartment has new wood floors throughout. When you leave the air-conditioned hallway and enter through your front door, the 23' X 12' living/dining room that greets you feels spacious, thanks in part to the 9-foot ceilings. The two master bedroom suites are separated by the common living spaces; and the separate laundry room, complete with a new washer/dryer, could be re-purposed into a hobby space, too.
The modern kitchen, complete with a pantry and stainless appliances, invites you to cook a favorite meal and enjoy it on your private balcony. Or ask your personal digital assistant, the Alexa Show (one comes with every apartment) to call your neighbor or bring in take-out from the Acorn Grill, located right here on campus.
This third-floor hide-a-way affords the best view on the entire campus. Purple-flowering jacaranda trees sway right outside the kitchen and dining room windows, brushing up against the balcony, the ideal spot for morning coffee. Watch the comings and goings of fellow residents heading out to exercise or attend a lecture in the Life Enrichment Center. Much of the entertainment on campus happens in this Center, just a 2-minute walk from apartment 3204. Join in a dance party, listen to a lecture, play Hand-and-Foot, or fuel your inner artist in The Gallery, where lots of creative magic is brought to life.
Love this Laurel but have different ideas as far as décor? Apartment 3214 is the same floor plan—and the best part? You can completely customize it! You pick appliances, cabinets, flooring, granite, window treatments—the works—and we provide the funds to make it happen!
Of course, in addition to a no-maintenance lifestyle in beautiful surroundings, a primary reason people move to a Type A Life Plan Community (also known as CCRCs) is the security knowing you will not need to relocate and your monthly service package won't increase if you need a higher level of living.
To see the Laurel, or any of our other floor plans, give us a call today at (623) 815-4132 or .

WIDELY reported cases involving ``surrogate mothers,'' and other recent events in our society, have prompted many people to consider more deeply what constitutes motherhood. Such issues, and their implications in human lives, can be deeply disturbing. As a Christian Scientist I take refuge in this unassailable fact: God is our true Mother. Intimations of the motherhood of God are found in the Bible. In the book of Psalms, for example, the image of finding safety under the shadow of God's wings appears frequently.1 And in Isaiah, God is represented as saying, ``As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you.''2 Many passages in the Bible convey a sense of the comforting, nurturing, mothering love of God.
The understanding that God is our Mother as well as our Father has brought healing to my own experience. When I was a girl of twelve or thirteen my mother developed a puzzling resentment toward me. This went on for many years and tormented me. I felt that if my own mother didn't like me, I could not be worth anything at all. Self-respect and peace of mind eluded me. Eventually I was married, and my husband and I became Christian Scientists.
The healing of my unhappiness did not come all at once. I remember sitting in a Christian Science Reading Room, perhaps two or three years after I had become a serious student of this Science. I was praying deeply to see myself more as God knows me. Suddenly I understood that from a spiritual standpoint, God is my true Mother, now and always, and that in God's sight I am now and have always been His beloved and perfect offspring.
From that time on I began to find a self-respect and peace I had never known. I found that I could actually like and love myself. My marriage became more stable, and I was soon doing work that was commensurate with my education and ability. Not only that, my relationship with my mother became harmonious for the first time in almost thirty years. There are still occasional problems, but the momentum of healing predominates. My mother seems happier and healthier than she has been for many years.
Acknowledging the motherhood of God doesn't belittle the human sense of motherhood but purifies and elevates it. The realization of God's motherhood can free women from any sense of inferiority. There are no second-class citizens in the kingdom of heaven. God is both Father and Mother, and each individual in his or her true selfhood reflects all the qualities of Deity.
The comprehension of this spiritual fact can heal injustice in individual instances like my own and on the larger stage of society as well. Social action undergirded by such metaphysical understanding is less likely to lead to discouragement if new forms of exploitation crop up to replace the old. We find in a spiritual understanding of God and man a truly radical and efficacious approach to the troubles that plague humankind.
We do not have to settle for injustice or exploitation for ourselves or others. And the perception that God is indeed our Mother shows us why.
1See, for example, Psalms 17:8; 36:7; 57:1; 61:4; 63:7; 91:4. 2Isaiah 66:13. 3Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 340.

Well, back at the very beginning, long, long ago and in a land far, far away, my ancestors sat in caves and banged rocks together.
OK, maybe that's too long ago!
Fast forward to 1995. I had been working at the University of Michigan for several years as a part of the Engineering College and then at the School of Information. Two graduates of the School, Lou Rosenfeld and Peter Morville had formed Argus Associates and came to me with a small project. From that first project and through my continued association with these gentlemen I was able to start my own business, Cyber Data Solutions.
Since those days we have worked with many companies, from the local -- Nonprofit Enterprise at Work, Community Housing Network -- to the remote -- The National Institutes of Health. The projects we've completed have ranged from the simplest email response forms all the way up to the most complex online information management systems and everything in between.
Through all of these projects I have reached the determination that each client deserves to understand what we are building for them. I don't mean that they'll get a crash course on website programming, but rather that we are dedicated to answering all of their questions completely and accurately without unnecessary use of computer jargon. I will admit that even my eyes will glaze over when I hear someone talking about "PHP, Perl, CGI, RSS, HTML, HTTP, .NET, and XML". I want us to be the company that helps to "Clear up the Confusion."
I look forward to helping you in the future. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions with which you think I can help.
Just a note of congratulations to you for a job well-done. You have done a masterful job with the site and it looks just gorgeous. It is quite an accomplishment on your part.
I appreciate all your good humored emails back and forth to me. You handled all the changes with diplomacy and tact.
Well done! It is a unique site for a very unique camp. You succeeded in building what Suzanne was working toward.
I enjoyed working with you."

Allergy is a reaction between your immune system and a foreign body or an allergen. The body’s immune system or the defense mechanism works overtime fighting these allergens. These allergens may be harmless to others but may effect you severely causing discomfort to the body.
Allergies cause problems like sneezing, runny nose, itching, rashes, swelling, watery eyes, itchy hives, sinus headaches or even asthma. Some people can also experience wheezing and shortness of breath. However, they are not necessarily fatal.
– is a good Anti- Allergy herb. It is a natural anti-histamine. It reduces the ability of the body to produce histamine. Histamine is a chemical produced by the antibodies in the body to fight against the allergens. Stinging nettle fights against allergy symptoms like cough, watery eyes, sneezing and runny nose.
Quercetin is a natural anti-oxidant and anti-histamine. It helps in relieving typical allergic symptoms and even asthma. Its anti-inflammatory properties help reducing itchiness and rash.
Butterbur (Petasites hybridus) is an anti-inflammatory herb. It also decreases histamines and leukotrienes. It blocks the action of histamine released by the body during the allergic reaction. It treats fever symptoms effectively.
– Astralagus Membranaceus is used to strengthen the body’s immune system. It is rich in anti-oxidants and protects cells against damage caused in allergies. It protects and supports the immune system in preventing colds and upper respiratory infections. It is also an anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory herb.
– or Ma Huang is an active ingredient in many traditional Chinese medicines used in the treatment of Asthma, hay fever and common cold. It is a thermogenic and a stimulant. It expands the bronchial tubes making breathing easier. Its diaphoretic properties help to expel exterior pathogens and regulate the functioning of lungs.
Chamomile has antihistamine, antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties. This is an excellent remedy for allergies, particularly for hay fever. As it is an antihistamine, it counteracts histamine effects and hence reduces hypersensitivity.
It has expectorant properties. Eucalyptus oil can be applied topically for clearing chest congestion. Also, it helps in clearing nasal congestion. Additionally, it loosens phlegm and also protects from insect bites.
This is an effective medicine for hay fever. The active components present in this herb block antibodies formation which are produced due to allergic reactions.
This is a wonderful herb for treating asthma and allergies. Licorice root has glycyrrhizic acid. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties as well. Hence, it is very effective in the treatment of conjunctivitis, bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis and hay fever. As it is a strong expectorant, it can also be used for treating chest infections and cough.
The tincture and capsules of Eyebright can be used for reducing hay fever symptoms.
It is known for its anti-microbial properties. It inhibits the activities of clotting agent and platelet-activating factors. These produce inflammatory reactions. Also, it prevents excessive secretion of histamine, thus reduces the symptoms of allergies.
Rooibos has antihistamine properties. In some situations, rooibos tea can help in treating hay fever symptoms.
St. John’s Wort capsules give relief from sinus headaches.
Honey helps you by augmenting the resistance of the body against allergens.
It is a decongestant and thereby, gives relief from congestion problems caused by allergies.
This is another useful herb for clearing congestion. Also, it can be used for treating sinus problems, nasal congestion and cough.
Green tea reduces histamine release and thereby, reduces allergy symptoms.

Σε συνεργασία με την οργάνωση Solidarités Jeunesses – Delegation, Sem&Vol, η ΕΛΙΞ έχει εξασφαλίσει για εσάς και σας προτείνει ένα πολύ ενδιαφέρον πρόγραμμα ESC (πρώην EVS) μεγάλης διάρκειας, μια εξαιρετική ευκαιρία να συνεισφέρετε σε μια τοπική κοινότητα, να γνωρίσετε την Γαλλική κουλτούρα, και να μάθετε τα γαλλικά.
Το πρόγραμμα είναι στο πλαίσιο του Ευρωπαϊκού Σώματος Αλληλεγγύης και θα λάβει χώρα στην Γαλλία, σε ένα πολύ ωραίο χωριό, Cadouin, στην όμορφη περιοχή Dordogne, από τις 15 Μαρτίου 2019, για έναν χρόνο.
Όπως θα δείτε παρακάτω, το πρωί θα γίνονται εργασίες ανακαίνισης και τα απογεύματα είναι αφιερωμένα σε τοπικές δραστηριότητες (παρεμβάσεις στα σχολεία, βίντεο / ραδιόφωνο με τους κατοίκους και σε συνεργασία με τον κινηματογράφο του χωριού).
In France, Solidarités Jeunesses consists of 7 affiliated territorial associations and 1 partner organisation. On the basis of commonly established goals, the affiliated associations reflect the dynamic of the movement at local level. Most of these structures host international volunteers as well as young people in need of social integration and are involved in the local development of their regions through a variety of activities.
Altogether, the movement has over 1200 members, of whom 300 are involved in actions all year round.
Sem&Vol is the eighth independent association of the Solidarités Jeunesses Movement which, with the support of several public institutions, has developed partnerships in the Dordogne, Nouvelle-Aquitaine (a region in the south-west of France).
Since 2013, the year Sem&Vol was created, 7 Εuropean exchanges (Erasmus+) have been hosted by the delegation (in Le Buisson, Cadouin, Le Bugue, Limeuil), bringing together many people from around the world and the local population. All exchanges were highly successful!
Between 2015 and 2018, Sem&Vol expanded its activities by proposing other local development and grassroot actions: over this period of time, around 30 international voluntary workcamps were hosted by different villages in the Dordogne.
Today, we wish to renew these activities and continue to develop our projects.
reflection, practices and projects in the field of environmental education in line with a sustainable development approach.
connect with people, create new openings and broaden theirs horizons.
The development of our « short-term » projects in our area of action (workcamps, international exchanges, training sessions, welcoming groups …) in order to enable local youth to have an international experience close to home and to gain more autonomy through intercultural and interpersonal learning as well as the experience of community life.
The hosting of local youth on civic service missions and volunteers under the European Voluntary Service programs, to help develop our association and promote the different activities we carry out in our region. Most of our activities with the local population will be focused on cultural activities ( in partnerships with schools and youth associations), particularly in the development of video, photo and audio activities in cooperation with art and experimental cinema of the village.
The increase of information campaigns targeting local youth through the structures they go to (training sessions, forums, presentations in secondary schools, « local missions » – community aid projects for young people – youth information centres, …) in order to inform them about international mobility, civic engagement and volunteering – among other values upheld by our association.
Follow to renovate the hosting center, for more comfort and space for its volunteers. The conversion of this space, in the former primary school of Cadouin (24) into an accommodation facility started in 2018. Now we are enable to host people from different horizons and backgrounds, medium and long-term volunteers, and young people with fewer opportunities ; it would also be used as a training and information centre.
At a broader level, through our actions, to work towards breaking down barriers between different publics, and to work on projects where the experience of living and working together contributes to the fight against social exclusion.
As a continuation of the projects backed by Solidarités Jeunesses in the area, we are entering into partnerships with different municipalities of the county (Dordogne), as well as with public institutions and local associations.
Each project is designed in partnership with a local organisation and our involvement provides support to a local action by bringing the international component and our popular education values.
With regard to our financial partners, we wish to maintain our partnership with the Nouvelle Aquitaine region, the Dordogne department (county), the Regional Youth and Sports Council, the territorial community (« communauté de communes ») of the Vallée de l’Homme. Furthermore, we would like to enter into new partnerships with other territorial communities and the Joint Association of the Vézère River Basin in the Dordogne.
Hosting French and international volunteers is a fundamental part of our mission: these medium and long-term exchanges are the direct expression of our values and will contribute to our territorial outreach. They will also help transform a disused school into a community living space. Cadouin’s inhabitants were deeply affected by the closing of the school at the end of 2015 and most of them are looking forward to the transformation of these premises. Several rooms have already been made available for local cultural associations and the village wishes to put part of the building at our disposition.
Volunteers will each have the opportunity to acquire new skills, develop their own creativity and share their own knowledge (practical skills, interpersonal skills, intellectual and cultural knowledge) : all the various activities developed by the association aim at bringing together people from different horizons in order to give them the chance to build a fairer society together and to develop their critical thinking through concrete actions.
The association Sem&Vol is located in the Dordogne, in the Périgord Noir (Black Perigord). Its registered office is situated in the village of Cadouin but the association is active throughout the entire department, right down to the Vallée de l’Homme (Valley of Mankind), known for its prehistoric sites, and onto the Land of Bastides, further south. This is where the association was created, in a village called Le Buisson de Cadouin, on the occasion of its first international project.
In 2015, when the school in Cadouin had to close due to a shortage of children and the proximity of the school in Le Buisson, the municipality offered us the use of the premises to host young people coming from elsewhere.
The school is situated in the centre of the village – a small vibrant and welcoming village of only 300 inhabitants, which is attached to the larger rural community of Le Buisson (around 2600 inhabitants).
The municipality and the local counsillors of this rural community have been organising activities hosting young europeans since 2013; they are deeply involved in local associative life and youth policy planning as well as being interested in the dynamics of international mobility.
In a very rural context, the main economic activity is cultural and green tourism. It is a lively rural community lying in the heart of unspoilt land, by the Dordogne river, close to a forest of 25 000 hectares, surrounded by vineyards, medieval fortified towns („bastides“), medieval castles, prehistoric caves and shelters (Lascaux, Les Eyzies, Maxange): the quality of life there is high.The population living in the area is mainly working class but many inhabitants work in Périgueux, Sarlat or Bergerac : Le Buisson de Cadouin is located between these three towns.
To learn more about the area, go to this link.
Also, we continue the renovation of the hosting center and permanent construction sites will be held every morning.
One of the interests of these workcamps is to bring together people from all over the world and local people who have little international experience.
The volunteers hosted by our association will have the opportunity to take part in internal training courses in ordert to lead these international volunteer summer workcamps.
What kind of activities will you get to take part in ?
The hosted volunteers come with the desire to experience community life (sharing responsabilities: cooking the meals, washing up, housework …) but also to discover new activities with concrete learning objectives – for example, in manual, technical and linguistic apprenticeship.
We encourage volunteers to take on responsability at different levels and we foster the learning of organisational and logistics skills; we also offer the possibility of exploring creative and artistic activities which can be used in workshops where people can express themselves verbally, corporally and/or artistically.
In this way, the volunteers will be actively involved in the development of our associative project and our activities. They will be given the opportunity, if they wish to, to develop a personal project in keeping with and in relation to the collective project.
Thus it is important for everyone to identify the needs and to assess the interests as well as the objectives to be reached. In this way, we seek to empower and guide the volunteers towards a certain amount of autonomy and active citizenship.
The activities organised with the volunteers will primarily be workcamp related activities and local development actions, particularly artistic and cultural projects.
Many of these activities will take place in the volunteers‘ accomodation premises or in the host village but also in neighbouring villages and throughout the Dordogne department.
Once a week, a group coordination meeting will take place to work with the volunteers on activity planning, budget management and to give everyone a chance to talk about their week. These moments of sharing also serve to defuse certain conflicts which are not uncommon in an intercultural setting. We propose a democratic and collective approach to decision-making in order to develop the positionning and critical thinking necessary for constructive cohabitation.
SATURDAYS and SUNDAYS are dedicated to the discovery of the region and of the French culture and, occasionally, to hosting groups and/or taking part in local cultural events.
welcoming and involving people in difficulty towards social and professional integration.
We wish to welcome people from different backgrounds in keeping with our social equity values. Our aim is to enable everyone to develop skills but also to pass on their own knowledge to the others. We believe this will help each person to see him or herself as an individual within a group and to grow in respect and consideration for others.
We expect our volunteers to have a good understanding of our overall project and to be motivated to be part of a team. We regard volunteering as an exchange between a volunteer who offers his/her time and energy a community project and a host community which in turn provides the volunteer with a learning and testing ground as well as a space for personal development. Consequently, the most important element for our association remains the motivations and the willingness of the volunteers to invest themselves wholeheartedly in Sem&Vol.

Sharks are a group of fish characterized by a cartilaginous skeleton, five to seven gill slits on the sides of the head, and pectoral fins that are not fused to the head. Modern sharks are classified within the clade Selachimorpha (or Selachii), and are the sister group to the rays. However, the term “shark” has also been used for extinct members of the subclass Elasmobranchii outside the Selachimorpha, such as Cladoselache and Xenacanthus. Under this broader definition, the earliest known sharks date from more than 420 million years ago.
Since, sharks have diversified into over 470 species. They range in size from the small dwarf lanternshark (Etmopterus perryi), a deep sea species of only 17 centimetres in length, to the whale shark (Rhincodon typus), the largest fish in the world, which reaches approximately 12 metres. Sharks are found in all seas and are common to depths of 2,000 metres. They generally do not live in freshwater although there are a few known exceptions, such as the bull shark and the river shark, which can survive in both seawater and freshwater. They breathe through five to seven gill slits. Sharks have a covering of dermal denticles that protects their skin from damage and parasites in addition to improving their fluid dynamics. They have several sets of replaceable teeth.
Well-known species such as the great white shark, tiger shark, blue shark, mako shark, and the hammerhead shark are apex predators—organisms at the top of their underwater food chain. Their survival is threatened by human-related activities.
Tails provide thrust, making speed and acceleration dependent on tail shape. Caudal fin shapes vary considerably between shark species, due to their evolution in separate environments. Sharks possess a heterocercal caudal fin in which the dorsal portion is usually noticeably larger than the ventral portion. This is because the shark’s vertebral column extends into that dorsal portion, providing a greater surface area for muscle attachment. This allows more efficient locomotion among these negatively buoyant cartilaginous fish. By contrast, most bony fish possess a homocercal caudal fin.
Tiger sharks have a large upper lobe, which allows for slow cruising and sudden bursts of speed. The tiger shark must be able to twist and turn in the water easily when hunting to support its varied diet, whereas the porbeagle shark, which hunts schooling fish such as mackerel and herring, has a large lower lobe to help it keep pace with its fast-swimming prey. Other tail adaptations help sharks catch prey more directly, such as the thresher shark’s usage of its powerful, elongated upper lobe to stun fish and squid.
It is estimated that 100 million sharks are killed by people every year, due to commercial and recreational fishing. Shark finning yields are estimated at 1.44 million metric tons for 2000, and 1.41 million tons for 2010. Based on an analysis of average shark weights, this translates into a total annual mortality estimate of about 100 million sharks in 2000, and about 97 million sharks in 2010, with a total range of possible values between 63 and 273 million sharks per year. Sharks are a common seafood in many places, including Japan and Australia. In the Australian state of Victoria, shark is the most commonly used fish in fish and chips, in which fillets are battered and deep-fried or crumbed and grilled. In fish and chip shops, shark is called flake. In India, small sharks or baby sharks (called sora in Tamil language, Telugu language) are sold in local markets. Since the flesh is not developed, cooking the flesh breaks it into powder, which is then fried in oil and spices (called sora puttu/sora poratu). The soft bones can be easily chewed. They are considered a delicacy in coastal Tamil Nadu. Icelanders ferment Greenland sharks to produce hákarl, which is widely regarded as a national dish. During a four-year period from 1996 to 2000, an estimated 26 to 73 million sharks were killed and traded annually in commercial markets.
Sharks are often killed for shark fin soup. Fishermen capture live sharks, fin them, and dump the finless animal back into the water. Shark finning involves removing the fin with a hot metal blade. The resulting immobile shark soon dies from suffocation or predators. Shark fin has become a major trade within black markets all over the world. Fins sell for about $300/lb in 2009. Poachers illegally fin millions each year. Few governments enforce laws that protect them. In 2010 Hawaii became the first U.S. state to prohibit the possession, sale, trade or distribution of shark fins. From 1996 to 2000, an estimated 38 million sharks had been killed per year for harvesting shark fins.
Shark fin soup is a status symbol in Asian countries, and is considered healthy and full of nutrients. Sharks are also killed for meat. European diners consume dogfishes, smoothhounds, catsharks, makos, porbeagle and also skates and rays. However, the U.S. FDA lists sharks as one of four fish (with swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish) whose high mercury content is hazardous to children and pregnant women.

beyond the lining of this life.
but never open to utter a plea.
glass sky and over-tilled land.
to see where value first arises.
on the truth of the hard earth.
The rich men are flooding into the churches, holding their gold embossed bibles, crossing their fingers behind their backs and they sing the old hymnals. They pray for excess while in subsequent pews the starved bellies are embarrassed to gurgle in the face of god. These sunday-suited men will speak of your bootstraps and something within you that is broken and worse yet, lacks the desire to be fixed. These are the ones who stand outside of any true heaven. Do not think of your body as a wafer to be eaten. Do not think of your blood as wine. A house of the lord is wherever you sleep tonight. It has no gold or wealth. The closer to dirt you are, the nearer your god awaits.
will open up to us upon our deaths.

The first itinerary leaves Tufo at 9 am and returns by 8 pm. In 179 km, about three hours’ total driving, you can visit the towns of Calitri, Compsa (Conza), and Cairano. Check out the Google Map below for directions, and feel free to click on the “more options” button to open it up in a new tab and take a closer look.
Calitri is a picturesque town, rich with ceramic artists and other artisans. A tour of Calitri is like immersing yourself in a labyrinth of magic and culture.
Protip: have lunch on the terrace of the Restaurant Zia Michelina (link to Tripadvisor page here), located directly across from and with a marvelous view of a World Wildlife Fund Oasis of 3900 hectares (about 9600 acres) of conservation land with hundreds of protected species.
Last stop we have is Cairano: one of the towns symbolic of Irpinia. The shape of the town, lying on the mountain, reminds tourists of the shape of a sea whale, and the atmosphere in town is a meditative silence. There is a website you can access here.

Approximately computes a definite integral.
Press MATH to access the math menu.
9 to select fnInt(, or use arrows.
fnInt(f(var),var,a,b[,tol]) computes an approximation to the definite integral of f with respect to var from a to b. tol controls the accuracy of the integral computed. The default value of tol is 10-5. fnInt( returns exact results for functions that are polynomials of small degree.
fnInt( only works for real numbers and expressions. The Gauss-Kronrod method is used for approximating the integral.
Tip: Sometimes, to get an answer of acceptable accuracy out of fnInt(, substitution of variables and analytic manipulation may be needed.
ERR:DOMAIN is thrown if tol is 0.
ERR:ILLEGAL NEST is thrown if fnInt( occurs in the expression to be integrated.
ERR:TOL NOT MET may occur if the tolerance is too small.

CAN YOU HELP US FIND NEW HOMES FOR FERAL AND TIMID CATS?
These pages will tell you what we do to help cats and kittens in our area. To provide a new home for a cat or kitten in our care, please see our Adopt a cat page.
Adopting – to find good homes for cats in need.
Neutering – to support and encourage the neutering of cats and kittens.
Informing – to improve people’s understanding of cats and their care through education and advice.
To do this, we operate a Local Helpline service on 0333 567 4746 that is answered between 08.30 and 18.00 Monday to Friday and between 09.00 and 17.00 on Saturday. Outside these times, an answerphone service operates. If you leave a message, a volunteer will respond in due course. When you leave a message, it is important that you tell us your full postcode and a telephone number so that we can contact you and deal with your enquiry properly.
PLEASE NOTE THAT, AS IS OFTEN THE CASE WITH CAT 'RESCUE' CHARITIES, NORMALLY ALL OUR FOSTER PLACES ARE FULL. THEREFORE, WE ARE RARELY ABLE TO TAKE CATS INTO CARE AT SHORT NOTICE; THE NORM IS THAT THERE WILL BE SOME LENGTH OF TIME BEFORE WE ARE ABLE TO CONSIDER TAKING CATS INTO CARE.
if you are interested in providing a home to any one or more of our cats or kittens in care. Details of cats to be homed are to be found in the Adopt a cat pages of this website.
if you require information on spaying or neutering your cat. You can also see our Neutering page for more information and, for those in need, we can provide assistance in the form of money-off vouchers towards the veterinary cost of neutering.
if you require information, help or are concerned about the condition of a cat in your area. We will endeavour to do whatever we can to help.
FREE VETERINARY CARE: Please note that we are NOT able to offer free veterinary care. The PDSA offers veterinary treatment free (subject to available funding) to those on certain benefits. To be eligible, pet owners need to live within the defined postcode catchment area of a PDSA PetAid hospital or PetAid practice and must be receiving financial help with their housing costs through either Housing Benefit or Council Tax Benefit. More information can be obtained from the PDSA website www.pdsa.org.uk or call the PDSA’s main number – 0800 731 2502 – to discuss what assistance may or may not be available in your area.
