In March 2003, I received a phone call from a man named Dennis Burkhart. He said he was producing a film on the Lewis and Clark expedition as seen through Sacagawea's eye's. He needed a Newfoundland for the part of Seaman and asked if I had a dog Ithought could handle the part? Of course! Roan has never let me down, no matter what I have asked of him. The part didn't sound too hard~nothing we haven't covered in basic obedience.
The producer's daughter (about 11 years-old) was one of the first people to greet me. "The dog is here, Seaman is here!" I then met Dennis in person and he introduced me to Rolf Forsberg, the director. Rolf had not seen a Newf in person before, but he loved Roan. There was a big tent, the inside transformed into a log fort. This was where the first scene was shot. Captain Lewis was seated at his desk. Roan was to lay under the desk and Lewis was to reach down and pet him. The director sat at a table with electronic equipment. Cameramen, lighting people, and assistants seemed to be everywhere. Roan laid down on a long stay. "Have him look up, more to the left! The log behind him is hot!" said the director. The director's attention to detail was amazing. The scene was shot and Roan was perfect. The main thing that happened on the set was waiting: for your scene and for make-up and wardrobe. Roan's make-up was easy, a quick run through our pasture before heading to the set and he was ready to go!
Roan's other scenes were outside. He hunted with Lewis, Clark and York for game. The area we filmed in was very wooded and hilly. They wanted Roan to come from behind the group and lead them up the trail as if he had caught the scent of an animal. In another scene he walked along the trail with Lewis and Clark as they neared the ocean. In the Corps of Discovery scene he had to walk in a procession that included people and horses. Only one scene had to be re-shot because of Roan, and that was my fault. I could not hear the director and I sent him up the trail too early. The only thing Roan got upset about during filming were the powder muskets going off. I don't know why. He is usually fine with gunshots-maybe the sulfur smell?
In August there was a preview of the film for the cast and invited guests and the film looked great! It is geared towards grades three through eight. The director has since told me that he would like to do another film on the Lewis and Clark expedition from Seaman's point of view. That film will be a lot more involved for Roan, but I know he can do it.

Although the group was formed in 2000, its members have been playing together in different groupings and settings throughout Europe since 1997. There is a special connection between the London and Berlin scenes, which The Sealed Knot exemplifies. Although the musical form is composed in the moment, the structures are open. Nothing is forced – all three lock into a specific area of exploration in a subtle way. The group uses no pre-prepared material and they don’t eschew repetition and definite pitches.

Non-fungible tokens from some of the most popular blockchain networks for crypto art are coming to Instagram with the announcement of a pilot as soon as Monday.
The social media powerhouse owned by Meta is planning NFT integrations for Ethereum, Polygon, Solana and Flow, CoinDesk has learned. Those networks host the vast majority of trading in digital collectibles, with Ethereum and its Bored Apes leading the way by market cap.
The pilot will feature a small group of NFT aficionados based in the U.S. It wasn’t immediately clear whether Instagram would support NFTs from all four chains at launch.
Instagram intends to support widely used crypto wallets such as MetaMask. Plugging in their wallets, users will be able to prove NFT ownership, showcase them on their profiles and tag the creators who made them.
CoinDesk has confirmed Instagram will not charge users for posting and sharing NFTs, as Twitter (TWTR) initially did for its hexagonal NFT profile pictures in January.
The decision likely spells a rush of new cultural visibility for NFTs. Instagram has over one billion monthly active users; many of whom use the platform to promote and market their art.
Meta (FB) CEO Mark Zuckerberg teased the initiative in March without divulging many details.
The Financial Times previously reported that Meta would follow up its NFT pilot on Instagram with minting and group membership options on Facebook.
An email to Meta seeking comment wasn't immediately answered.
The leader in news and information on cryptocurrency, digital assets and the future of money, CoinDesk is a media outlet that strives for the highest journalistic standards and abides by a strict set of editorial policies. CoinDesk is an independent operating subsidiary of Digital Currency Group, which invests in cryptocurrencies and blockchain startups. As part of their compensation, certain CoinDesk employees, including editorial employees, may receive exposure to DCG equity in the form of stock appreciation rights, which vest over a multi-year period. CoinDesk journalists are not allowed to purchase stock outright in DCG.

Lemon Cream Pie
This post may contain affiliate links, meaning that I may receive a commission at no cost to you if you use a link provided. All opinions shared are my own. You can review my full disclosure policy here.
Lemon Cream Pie is tangy and sweet with a buttery graham cracker crust. It’s just like key lime pie, but made with lemons, and topped with fresh sweetened whipped cream. A super easy spring or summer dessert, and great alternative to lemon meringue pie.
The inspiration for this lemon pie came from my love of Key Lime Pie. It has the same elements. A buttery graham cracker crust, creamy citrus filling, and real whipped cream topping.
The only thing I had to change was the fruit, from limes to lemons.
I’ve actually made this creamy lemon pie with blueberries before and used Meyer lemons. Which are a cross between a lemon and a mandarin orange.
The chunks of blueberries in that pie are tasty too, but I love the simple and smooth richness of this lemon cream pie.
Lemon Cream Pie
This lemon pie is creamy from sweetened condensed milk and tangy with fresh lemon juice and zest. A buttery graham cracker crust and sweetened whipped cream topping are the perfect accompaniment for this spring dessert.
I love lemon curd, but I just don’t love meringue, so lemon meringue pie is a no-go for me. This lemon cream pie, on the other hand is a winner. If you’re a fan of Key Lime Pie, be sure to try this lemon variation.
More Lemon Desserts:
- Lemon Bars – These classic lemon bars are extra tangy, perfectly sweet, and super easy to make. This is the ultimate lemon lovers’ recipe!
- Soft Baked Lemon Cookies – These lemon cookies are soft baked and have plenty of lemon zest, lemon juice, and lemon extract throughout for a delicious lemon treat!
- Lemon Cream Cheese Pie – has layers of no-bake cheesecake and an easy microwave lemon curd inside of a vanilla wafer crust. It’s the perfect combination of sweet and tart.
- Lemon Crumb Bars – have a lightly sweet and buttery cookie base that doubles as the crumb topping, and an easy creamy lemon filling in the center. A delicious bar dessert that is a great substitute for pie.
- 12 graham crackers (rectangles)
- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 6 Tbsp butter
- 2 (14oz) cans sweetened condensed milk (can use original or fat-free)
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a food processor, crush graham crackers until they resemble fine crumbs. Add sugar and combine. Melt butter in microwave. Add to crumb mixture and mix until all crumbs are wet. Press evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a standard 9-inch pie dish.
- Bake crust at 350˚F for 8 minutes.
- Prepare filling while crust bakes. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, salt, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Pour into hot crust and bake an additional 10-12 minutes, until filling is solid when jiggled in the pan.
- Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate 3 hours, or until chilled.
- Whisk heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar in a stand mixer until stiff peaks form. Dollop or pipe onto top of pie before serving.
- You will need 4-5 fresh lemons for this recipe.
- Cover and store pie in the refrigerator.


MSc(Res) Graduate student
In 2019, I graduated with a first class Bachelors in Medical Sciences where my interest in cardiovascular research began. My third year project consisted of a literature review and some dissections of a human heart looking in to the causes and therapies for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
After graduating, I started working as a research assistant in cardiovascular diagnostics. During that time I became interested in the novel biomarker, sST2, and its potential value as an indicator of outcome after myocardial infarction (MI). IL-33 is the functional ligand for ST2L, the transmembrane form of ST2, that activates a cardioprotective signalling pathway as a response to tissue damage. In the event that cardiomyocytes are under physical stress, the soluble form of ST2 (sST2) is released in to the bloodstream and acts as a decoy receptor that binds IL-33. This prevention of IL-33/ST2L signalling causes adverse remodeling like hypertrophy and scarring. Troponin is currently the gold standard biomarker for MI diagnosis, but it degrades around 48 hours after release. Some recent literature gives evidence that there may be value in measuring sST2 alongside troponin to add more information and therefore robustness to care plans for patients post-MI.
For my project within the Smart group I am developing a duplexed immunoassay for sST2 and troponin, with the aim to establish whether there is a correlation between sST2 and troponin in human clinical plasma samples of those diagnosed with MI. I am also exploring the effects of sST2 expression after injury in a cell model. My thesis will discuss the potential benefit of serial sST2 measurements after MI.

Davis' not-so-triumphant return: Royals lose another close game
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- There was no easing Wade Davis back into the Kansas City Royals' closer role.
Davis gave up a go-ahead two-run single in the ninth inning to Miguel Cabrera, and the Kansas City Royals lost 7-6 to the Detroit Tigers on Friday night.
Davis had not pitched in the majors since July 22 because of a right flexor strain. He pitched three scoreless innings over three games on a rehab assignment before being reinstated from the disabled list earlier in the day.
Watch the Royals Live pregame and postgame shows before and after every Kansas City Royals game on FOX Sports Kansas City.
In his return, Davis was asked to safeguard a one-run lead after Paulo Orlando's two-run, two-out single in the eighth put the Royals ahead 6-5.
"Wade said (before the game), `I'm ready to close,'" Royals manager Ned Yost said. "You look at his rehab and he threw the ball well there. He was ready. It wasn't like he spent three weeks on the DL and didn't do his rehab stuff. He did all his rehab stuff, threw the ball well and was ready to go."
Davis's first pitch hit Ian Kinsler, who stopped at third on Jose Iglesias' single before Cabrera -- who homered among his three hits and had four RBIs -- drove them both in.
World Series champion Kansas City has three consecutive one-run losses after winning 18 of its previous 22 games.
Cabrera hit a 439-foot shot, his 29th homer, off Peter Moylan in the seventh, and also had an RBI single in Detroit's three-run third. Justin Upton homered in the second and added an RBI single in the third.
Francisco Rodriguez (3-3) picked up the victory, despite blowing a save in the eighth on Orlando's single.
Orlando thought the Royals were going to win after his big hit.
"Oh yeah, late in the game and you take the lead for the first time, but you play nine innings," Orlando said. "Today was not to be."
Orlando, who snapped an 0-for-17 skid with a single in the seventh, punched a single off Rodriguez to right, scoring Alcides Escobar and Jarrod Dyson.
"Obviously we're happy we came out on the winning side, but what a great game to watch, just as a fan of baseball, with the back and forth, both teams scoring off of closers," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. "It was good entertainment."
Tigers starter Anibal Sanchez gave up three unearned runs and five hits over five innings.
Cabrera's fielding error opened the door for the Royals to score three runs in the third. Alex Gordon had a two-run single, while Kendrys Morales contributed a run-scoring single.
Danny Duffy allowed four runs and nine hits in 5 2/3 innings and has allowed 18 hits and 11 runs over 10 2/3 innings in consecutive starts.
"I felt like I battled," Duffy said. "We had a rough third inning there. They were kind of singling me to death. I did my best to try to keep my team in the game. It's kind of been a rough couple of games for us."
Tigers left-hander Justin Wilson gave up a run on three singles to Orlando, Cheslor Cuthbert and Eric Hosmer in the seventh, the only three batters he faced.
ROYALS PROMOTE FOUR
The Royals purchased the contract of INF Hunter Dozier, a 2013 first-round pick who hit 23 HRs with 75 RBIs this season with Double-A Northwest Arkansas and Triple-A Omaha. They also recalled C Tony Cruz, IF-OF Whit Merrifield and OF Terrance Gore.
Erick Aybar started at third base for the Tigers. It was only his second career game there, with the other on May 30, 2007, while with the Angels against the Mariners. He did not have an assist or putout against the Royals.
Tigers: OF Cameron Maybin (left thumb contusion) has not played since Monday. ... 3B Nick Castellanos (fractured fifth metacarpal of his left swing) took about 25 swings with a fungo off a tee. "He felt it a little bit today, swinging," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. "It buzzed him every once in a while, which is normal."
Royals: OF Lorenzo Cain has not played since Tuesday because of a sore left wrist. ... LHP Jason Vargas, who is rehabbing from 2015 elbow surgery, struck out 10 and walked none, while allowing two runs on five hits over 5 2/3 innings in a Thursday start for Triple-A Omaha against Round Rock.
Tigers: RHP Michael Fulmer is 0-1 with a 1.98 ERA in two appearances against the Royals.
Royals: RHP Yordano Ventura is 6-0 with a 2.98 ERA in 10 games against the Tigers.

Our new Working Paper Societal Risks and Potential Humanitarian Impact of Cyber Operations provides an up-to-date assessment of existing risks and protection needs in light of contemporary and future military cyber capabilities.
The report of the second focused review pilot – conducted in St. George’s, Grenada, by our Geneva Human Rights Platform (GHRP) with the Commonwealth Secretariat – shows the benefits that this exercise brings to both the work of UN treaty bodies and the implementation of human rights in countries.
This short course, which can be followed in Geneva or online, discusses the extent to which states may limit and/or derogate from their international human rights obligations in order to prevent and counter-terrorism and thus protect persons under their jurisdiction.

The Member of Parliament (MP) for Ofoase-Ayirebi, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has visited the two sides of the recent violent clashes in the area to calm tensions.
The effort followed last Thursday’s violent clashes between Ofoase Zongo and Brenase Youth in the constituency.
The MP called for peace among the people.
In an engagement with townsfolk and traditional leaders on both sides, Mr Oppong Nkrumah expressed regret about the incident, which left one person dead and four others injured.
“First of all, we are one people. Whether you are from Brenase or from Ofoase, we are one people living in harmony. That is why we shouldn’t allow things like this to divide us,” he said.
“Ofoasi-Ayirebi is noted for being one of the peaceful areas in the region. Over the years, we have experienced significant developments, which has made our constituency the envy of many.
“So we need to come together as one people and not engage in acts that further divides us,” the MP added.
Call for restraint
Mr Oppong Nkrumah called on both factions to exercise restraint and to maintain law and order in the area while the police expedited investigations into the matter.
The meeting came on the back of clashes between youth of the two towns.
Residents of the towns have previously lived in unity until recently when reports of attacks on each other emerged.
Although the police have restored law and order, tension remain high, with fears of reprisal attacks being planned.
Mr Oppong Nkrumah asked the police and the District Security Council to step up patrols and intelligence-led operations to forestall further violence.
Traditional leaders and youth of both towns thanked the MP for his visit, and committed to live in peace, while asking for justice to be done by the state.

Name: Vashti Hinton
Hometown: Baltimore, Maryland
Major: Political Science
Campus Involvement: Senator for Student Government Association College of Arts & Sciences Department
Relationship Status: Single
What’s the background story on how you got interested in politics?
My parents are pastors. I always enjoyed giving back. They come from the disenfranchised background of inter-city Baltimore. They come from a place where blacks are oppressed. They lived in that state. I have watched them and thought if my parents can make it, anyone can make it. I think how many more folks that are disenfranchised are there who don’t have the tools to get out? How can I make it more accessible for them? What can I do to make that process easier for people? It makes people happy to someone advocating for them.
What activities did you participate in when you were younger?
We would work at a soup kitchens and do things of that nature all the time.
When did you know that you fell in love with politics?
I took Poli-150, Introduction to Political Science, with Professor Derek Smith and it changed my whole perspective. At that point, I fell in love with politics. I fell in love with power structures. I fell in love with learning about this system. I saw how complex it really was.
When did it all become full circle for you?
During this past year, I just took off. First of all, I love to read and I met people who had the same mindset I do. I always wanted to find solutions. How do we help our people? How do we make our people succeed or embrace themselves? How to help them tap into that king or queen in them? A part of that is getting involved in our communities.
What do you thing one problem that is hindering progressiveness?
Sometimes I feel like there is disconnect because people are so busy and don’t try to pay attention.
What keeps you motivated?
I am a Christian. Jesus came to set the captives free. He came so we might live again. I think it part of us inherently to help people. The Bible says “Love thy neighbor as thy self.” For me that’s loving “thy neighbor” when I’m fighting and advocating, so I can teach my brother or sister what I know.
What organizations are you or have been a part of?
A lot. Well last year, I was a member of the Elections Committee, HBCU Political Action Alliance, the Greensboro Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Bombshells in Business, and Model United Nations. I currently am the third Vice-President for the Youth and College Division of the NAACP over North Carolina. It’s very stressful, but our chapter presidents are great. I didn’t think I was going to win because I was the new girl. I ran for junior class president and lost, but I got support and encouragement from others in this organization (NAACP) to run, so I did.
Anything else exciting?
I am an intern for Ignite North Carolina and Bree Newsome is one of the directors. I was so nervous when she came to campus to speak at the Student Government Association’s “Stay Woke” event. I told myself I better not do anything wrong.
Did you organize an event recently on campus?
Yes. I helped organize and plan the “Movement of Change” series. This event was needed to raise awareness and start the conversation of black liberation in America. Students really appreciate having a conservation like this. Contrary to most beliefs, students do care.
Have you ever been arrested?
Yeah. I have been in handcuffs twice but only arrested once. It was definitely a life changing moment. When you get engaged in that type of thing you really wonder if it’s worth it, that day I said yes. That day we were talking about the increase for the minimum wage. We were going to talk to the speaker of the house, we had an appointment and everything. They wouldn’t let us and they crazy thing is we saw him go into his office. The staff kept on saying he wasn’t there. Security came out and we continued to protest. We weren’t leaving until we saw him.
Did you get training for something like that?
So we did have training but I didn’t go. I didn’t think I was going to need it. I’m happy I did though.
So, what are the career goals for Vashti Hinton?
I hope to go to law school and become an international civil rights lawyer or maybe even work for the United Nations. I want to do something that deals with policies.

The arms are one of the more vulnerable parts of the body in a medieval melee, particularly where multiple combatants are concerned. The arm must extend to strike, but that is when it is open to a counterattack. Plate bracers are optimal for forearm protection – plate is impervious to cutting and slashing and when paired with padding beneath, is good at dissipating and absorbing blunt force.
This pair of plate bracers are constructed from 20 gauge steel. They are affixed to the arm with a pair of integrated leather straps and antiqued steel buckles. The interior of the bracers are blackened. This thinner gauge of steel reduces weight whilst keeping an outward appearance identical to thicker steel. This makes it ideal for long days in kit or costume at the Ren Faire, Con or LARP events.
Please Note: Color of leather straps may vary from varying shades of brown or black

(a) A written or unwritten employment policy or practice which excludes from employment applicants or employees because of pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions is in prima facie violation of title VII.
(b) Disabilities caused or contributed to by pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, for all job-related purposes, shall be treated the same as disabilities caused or contributed to by other medical conditions, under any health or disability insurance or sick leave plan available in connection with employment. Written or unwritten employment policies and practices involving matters such as the commencement and duration of leave, the availability of extensions, the accrual of seniority and other benefits and privileges, reinstatement, and payment under any health or disability insurance or sick leave plan, formal or informal, shall be applied to disability due to pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions on the same terms and conditions as they are applied to other disabilities. Health insurance benefits for abortion, except where the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term or where medical complications have arisen from an abortion, are not required to be paid by an employer; nothing herein, however, precludes an employer from providing abortion benefits or otherwise affects bargaining agreements in regard to abortion.

In order to come into compliance with the provisions of 1604.10(b), there can be no reduction of benefits or compensation which were in effect on October 31, 1978, before October 31, 1979 or the expiration of a collective bargaining agreement in effect on October 31, 1978, whichever is later.

Houston, January 6, 2021, ZEXPRWIRE, Inform-service is in the market of information services for more than 10 years. We offer the services of certified specialists, professionals who provide information and practical assistance in writing academic papers. Do you want to know how to do a thesis? Or don’t have enough time to write an essay? You will find the answer here.
The informative service states that students may need help throughout their studies. It’s not unimportant to perform qualitatively any task assigned to you, be it a test or a term paper, all the way up to a benchmark master’s thesis.
Innovative solutions, an unconventional approach to the task, literacy and uniqueness, these are the main distinguishing features of this company which will help you with the defense of the diploma.
The first is the reliability of service, based on feedbacks
The only way to find out at least a rough price of the work, make an application and wait for the answer, which will come in one of the weekdays. If you need to quickly find out prices for other types of work, you simply do not get it. Given that the search for information on the prices of diploms.com.ua job for several types of tasks, you have to wait for an answer to a couple of your applications with different types of work listed in them, which will come only after their processing at an unknown interval.
The registration of an order at Inform-service is carried out through e-mail correspondence, after you have left an application with information about your order, the specified e-mail address receives an answer, presumably with the specified cost of the work and other information. So it turned out that make a request on Saturday, a day when I had free time for that, the weekend I did not wait for an answer. Apparently everyone in the information service have a rest, in their legitimate days off. And on Monday I had already forgotten about the letter.
In the useful information about the design of the work noted important points: Provide a method statement, an approved plan (if any), and other requirements or guidelines.
The approved work plan remains unchanged until you cease working with this company.
In case of unforeseen situations, the website has a list of paid changes to already approved work.
In general terms, the work of the company does not cause any complaints. A lot of useful information about the different nuances of providing services to customers. Informservice has all the right elements of a good writing company, except for the checkout system, which is quite uncomfortable. And what is most disliked, the complete absence of some kind of price list with which you can get acquainted before ordering. Personally, for this reason, I would skip this service, having dozens of other good essay writing services. The presence on the site at least approximate rates for the main types of work must be present. Take at least the average turnaround time of two weeks for most topics similar in complexity = price.

Create an immunity force field. Here are the immune boosters you don’t know about yet… – Yahoo News
During the current pandemic – now more than ever – we are all turning to immune-boosting supplements. That is a given. And we all know now that certain vitamins and minerals like vitamin D, Vitamin C, and Zinc are good for immunity, because they have all received a lot of attention in the press. You probably know them already. However, there are many other immune-boosting supplements that don’t get the same press and, in my expert opinion, there are highly effective ways to build an immunity force field around your body. I recommend a host of other supplements to my clients through Urban Healing. Here is a quick run-through of the supplements I think you should also be taking that aren’t in the spotlight.
Vitamin A – 600 μg once a day provides an immunity force field
Vitamin A maintains a number of immune cell types from both the innate and acquired immune system including modulation of T-helper cells and secretory IgA. In layman’s terms: it helps provide an immune force field for the body. And this is why Vitamin A is seen as one of the best immune system boosters. Vitamin A comes from retinol and it is generally low in the average diet; the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey showed 44% of Americans are deficient in Vitamin A.
NAC 300 mg twice a day is a lung booster
NAC (N-Acetyl cysteine) is a sulphur compound that increases the body’s production of the antioxidant glutathione, including levels within the lungs. Low levels of lung glutathione have been shown in medical literature to be present in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), as well as in viral and bacterial pneumonia. When NAC was given to ARDS patients their outcomes were improved. Because of this impact on lung health, I believe taking NAC is an excellent choice to be added to your immune-boosting supplements. I recommend taking Adaptivir Immune Support Tonic.
Beta glucans can boost immunity even more
β-Glucans are plant chemicals found in mushrooms and other foods such as oats. They have been long known to be one of the best immune system boosters. β-Glucans provide immune system support by enhancing certain white blood cells including macrophages, neutrophils, and Natural Killer cells. Studies conducted with shiitake extracts in vitro and in animal models reveal β-Glucans immune-boosting effects, increasing innate immunity as well as showing antiviral effects. They have also been shown to be immune-modulating. These make medicinal mushrooms or a beta-glucan extract to be great immune-boosting supplements.
Probiotic and prebiotic food will boost your gut health and thus your immunity
The gut microbiota is the name given to the rich community of microbes that live in the intestine. They have many effects on health including effects on the immune system particularly through T-cell modulation and their related anti-inflammatory cytokines. Prebiotic and probiotic supplementation may boost the immune system and even reduce the incidence and duration of respiratory infections. Recent studies strongly suggest probiotic supplementation in pretreatment and during acute infection. The microbiota can be boosted by eating foods such as fermented vegetables, like kimchi, and prebiotic foods like asparagus and onions, and herbal medicines like astragalus and dandelion. As well as dietary changes a prebiotic or probiotic can be added as part of your immune-boosting supplements.
Quercetin 500 mg a day will be anti-inflammatory
Quercetin is a bioflavonoid found in high amounts in nettle leaf, red onion, and apples. It is known for its anti-inflammatory effect. In addition to the antiviral properties of quercetin, this potent chemical also was shown to have an anti-inflammatory effect on chemicals like NLRP3 inflammasome which is involved in ARDS. Which is why this supplement is regularly suggested by health care providers as one of the top immune-boosting supplements.
Selenium 40mcg once a day will help regulate immune response
The immune system relies on adequate dietary selenium intake. Adequate levels of selenium are important for initiating immunity, but they are also involved in regulating excessive immune responses. Selenium levels also have an impact on the severity of viral infection, in selenium deficiency, benign strains of coxsackie and influenza viruses can mutate to highly pathogenic strains. There have been some direct studies on the effects of selenium deficiency and the recent global pandemic, a review of these studies suggested that at-risk groups should be given Vitamin D, Zinc, and Selenium supplementation. Although many think of vitamin D and Zinc supplementation few think of selenium when choosing their immune-boosting supplements.
Fish oils will fight inflammation
We often think of fish oil in terms of heart health and joint pain rather than part of immune-boosting supplements. However, maintaining the balance of inflammation in the body is a vital part of preventing severe symptoms in viral infections. Omega-3 oils are found in fish and certain plant sources like hemp seed and are seen as anti-inflammatory. Omega-6 oils are found in many cooking oils like canola, sunflower seed, and soybean oil but not in olive oil. A low ratio of omega-6 relative to omega-3 fats can shift the production of prostaglandins from the series-2 (inflammatory) to the series-3 (anti-inflammatory).
Experts suggest an omega-6:omega-3 ratio of 1:1 to 2:1, which is in alignment with traditional diets, being the best bet for keeping inflammation in check. In most western diets the ratio is more like 15:1. Eating fish twice a week is a good way to boost intake of Omega-3 fats although many find a fish oil supplement more convenient and it has been suggested a preventative measure in the pandemic to help put the body in an anti-inflammatory state.
Plant foods contain thousands of phytonutrients, which have been categorized into phytonutrient families. One of the groups of plant compounds shown to be helpful for boosting immunity are polyphenols, a category consisting of more than 8,000 different compounds such as flavonoids (e.g., isoflavones and anthocyanins) and non-flavonoids (e.g., phenolic acids and stilbenes).
These compounds are ubiquitously found in plant foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains. On a physiological level, they can serve as foodstuff for the gut microbiome, resulting in the production of favorable metabolites for immune-boosting. At the molecular level, they are thought to regulate immune function through several mechanisms, including favorably modifying inflammatory pathways. This, coupled with their anti-inflammatory properties, they can inhibit oxidative enzymes responsible for free radical generation. A plant-filled diet is one of the best immune system boosters. But as well as adding fruits and veggies to the diet, polyphenols can also be added as part of your immune-boosting supplements.

When you add this option our experienced musicians will take a standard file and convert it so the module will play a music box type of sound of your song. They will go note by note and make a fabulous rendition. We have a few musicians that we work with and they have done thousands of songs and are the best at what they do. Cick here to hear some files they have done:

We are offering an option to take your song and covert it to sound like a traditional music box melody (still in digital format). Your tune will be onverted note by note to sound just like a mechanical movement music box, but better, due to the flexibility of the module as well as software sound enhancement. Here are two examples of the previous conversions of songs that our musician has done:
We also suggest browsing for your song on YouTube to see if it has already been converted, this way you can get the music box sound but not pay the additional $75.
