Seven Forests - Pinellia 16 - 100 tabs FREE SHIPPING on ALL Orders! Pinellia 16 is a derivative of traditional formulas for lung diseases, including Platycodon and Fritillaria Combination (Qingfei Tang) and Ma-huang and Magnolia Combination (Shen Mi Tang), and of formulas for resolving phlegm, such as Citrus and Pinellia Combination (Erchen Tang; see Pine Mountain) and Three Seed Combination (Sanzi Yangqin Tang). These formulas all treat cough, asthma, bronchitis, and other lung disorders in which there is accumulation of sputum (as opposed to dry cough; see Lily 14). The formula ventilates the lungs (platycodon, apricot seed, magnolia bark), clears phlegm (pinellia, citrus, fritillaria, bamboo, sinapis, raphanus), and alleviates coughing (perilla fruit, morus bark, schizandra). Pinellia 16 can serve as a constitutional formula for persons who chronically or repeatedly have an excess of phlegm manifesting as lung disorder and/or sinus congestion. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
10/12: Sexual-Harassment-Reporting Maps Help Women Navigate Cities Photo: Getty Images No one should plan their schedule around avoiding sexual harassment, but that doesn’t mean many people don’t do exactly that. Whether it’s taking an indirect route to avoid a poorly lit park or opting for a private car instead of risking inappropriate comments or touching on public transportation, vulnerable populations around the world — for the sake of the following examples, women — are constantly maneuvering themselves around their abusers, taking time out of their own pursuits to accommodate the behavior of would-be harassers. But to do so, women must first know where they can and can’t go, information that until recently could only be learned through personal experience or by word of mouth. Many of these kinds of platforms use Ushahidi, a data collection and visualization tool, which allows anonymous users to report not only through the apps and sites but also through email, SMS, Twitter, and RSS.

Australian Prints + Printmaking Discover the Australian Prints + Printmaking collection using our five unique exploratory based interfaces. Explore allows you to discover the collection using five new interfaces especially developed for the Australian Prints + Printmaking site. These experimental web interfaces aim to encourage exploration and discovery and they created especially for our collection. They seek to step away from the traditional search and browse model - instead of assuming that you know what you want to find - they allow you to engage in a process of open ended exploration. It is hoped that this process of visual exploration provides an appreciation of the size and diversity of the collection while encouraging you to make new discoveries within it. Explore Australian Prints + Printmaking was developed as part of Ben Ennis Butler's doctoral work, Escaping the search box: Developing digital interfaces that encourage exploration and discovery in cultural heritage collections. These interfaces are prototypes.
10/11: Seoul is latest city to offer free menstrual products like pads Following a scandal last year where impoverished girls in South Korea were found to be using the insoles of shoes in place of sanitary napkins, the government of Seoul is launching a pilot program to provide free menstrual products at facilities around the capital. According to the Korea Herald newspaper today (Oct. 11), the metropolitan government will offer sanitary pads at 10 venues in Seoul, including the Seoul Museum of Art, Seoul Metropolitan Library, and Seoul Museum of History. The scandal around Korea’s so-called “insole girls” came to light last year after Yuhan-Kimberly, the dominant producer of feminine-hygiene products, raised the prices of sanitary pads, which many low-income families could not afford. Prices had already been among the highest in Asia. The backlash over “period poverty” also opened up a broader discussion in Korea about menstruation, where it had previously been considered shameful and taboo.
Guardian|Billionaire investor Carl Icahn sells entire stake in Apple | Technology Carl Icahn, the billionaire activist investor who has long been one of the most prominent voices declaring the company to be undervalued, says he has sold his entire stake in the technology firm, citing the risk of China’s influence on the stock. After years of high growth, reaching triple-digit percentage points in 2015, Apple now sells more in China than it does in the whole of Europe. But sales in the country are now shrinking, with revenue dropping 26% year-on-year in the company’s latest quarterly earnings. Icahn’s concerns aren’t related to the China slowdown, however. Instead, the investor is concerned with the barriers to trade that China’s authoritarian regime might put in place. “You can’t go into that business unless you’re like Samsung which is really like a country backing it,” Icahn told US cable television network CNBC. In response to further questioning, Icahn clarified that he wasn’t concerned with interference so much as with the country’s “relationship” with Apple.
12/3/16: Trump formally recognizes Taiwan with a phone call The fact that Donald Trump is the first US president to have a call with his Taiwanese counterpart in nearly four decades, seriously upsetting China in the process, might come as a shock when you think that Taiwan is the world’s 22nd largest economy. The answer as to why this call has taken so long – and has caused so much trouble – is fascinating and goes back years. In fact, even though Taiwan has managed to work wonders, including manufacturing 80 per cent of the world’s computer notebooks, it somehow has failed to be recognised as an independent state by the rest of the world. What is Taiwan’s dispute with China? Central to the issue is Taiwan’s tense relations with China. Initially, the rest of the world was reluctant to recognise the communist regime on the mainland – it was the Cold War, after all. On occasion, this dispute has led to threats of war. Unique Diplomacy Lastly, Taiwan’s strong economy has allowed it to use what Timothy Rich refers to as “checkbook diplomacy”.
Japan PM Shinzo Abe offers Pearl Harbor condolences Japanese PM Shinzo Abe has visited the US naval base at Pearl Harbor, where he offered "sincere and everlasting condolences" to the victims of Japan's attack on the base 75 years ago. "We must never repeat the horrors of war again, this is the solemn vow the people of Japan have taken," he said. Mr Abe was accompanied by US President Barack Obama, making the visit the first by the leaders of both countries. Japan devastated much of the base, killing more than 2,400 Americans. 'An alliance of hope' Mr Abe paid tribute to the men who lost their lives in 1941 at the naval base, many of whom remain entombed in the wreckage of the USS Arizona, sunk by the Japanese that day, and vowed reconciliation and peace. "To the souls of the US servicemen who lie aboard the USS Arizona, to the American people, and all people around the world, I pledge that unwavering vow," he said. And he called the renewed alliance between the countries an "alliance of hope". Image copyright AFP Image copyright AP Getty Images
