The body reacts to these changes with physical, mental, and emotional responses. What’s it doing to us? With stress so clearly linked to our health, it is shocking to me that we don’t think about our own level of stress and do something about lowering it. Oh yes, we say “I am so stressed” but do we really know what that means? The things that cause stress are called stressors. Do we know our own stressors?

he 10th Annual Walk4Friendship will be taking place at the Old Port on Sunday, Oct. 14th. The event is being held by the Friendship Circle a local non-profit that promotes friendship, support, and inclusion for young people with special needs. The 2k walk and 5k run attract hundreds of people every year. Last year there were just under 1000 participants and the organization raised $510,000. This year the group plans to do even better and has organized
teams with the help of several sponsors including the Royal Bank of Canada and Yellow.

"Our theme will be "Pure Friendship", celebrating the amazing friendship that the organization was able to create and empower for the special needs children and volunteers, " says Communications intern Audrey Fleurot. The Friendship Circle primarily services children, teens, and young adults from the greater Montreal area although its mandate covers adults up to 40. Members have a wide range of cognitive or physical disabilities including Autism, Downs Syndrome, Development
Delays, Cerebral Palsy, and visual impairment. "This year we hope to see many more walkers and runners who aren't yet affiliated with Friendship Circle," she says. "We also hope to surpass our last year's goal of $500,000 which will enable us to create more friendships and inclusive opportunities in the upcoming year." It's all about making our city more inclusive. Racheli the family support and program developer puts it this way: "We’re so grateful and inspired to see the community come together to walk in sup-
port of friendship and inclusion for our special friends.This walk celebrates the unique abilities of each individual and the incredible affect of inclusive friendships!" You don't have to walk or run to participate, you just have to show up. It's an opportunity for people to have fun, make new friends, meet old friends, and support special friends. There will be plenty of fun activities for kids of all age groups including interactive games, face painting, tattoo art, caricature artists, virtual reality and the latest rage - ax throwing! - for those who are not faint of heart. Food and beverages will be provided which
11 Critical home inspection traps to be aware of weeks before listing your home for sale
MONTREAL - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That's why it's critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn • October 13, 2018
pretty much guarantees that everyone will have a grand ole time. If you haven't yet taken a spin on Montreal's Observation Wheel now's your opportunity. Like last year, La Grande Roue has generously partnered with the Friendship Circle and is offering free rides on the giant Ferris wheel for all participants following the festivities. The big wheel is 60 meters high and offers a breathtaking view of the city and mountain with a panoramic vista stretching all the way to Montée de Liesse on the South Shore. It promises to be quite the ride! Friendship, fun, and food: what's not to like? www.walk4friendship.ca

In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre- inspection yourself if you know what you're looking for, and knowing what you're looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones.

Special exhibition highlights the contributions of Canadian women in both World Wars
C
anadian women performed crucial and often dangerous tasks during both World Wars, from manufacturing munitions to hand-painting artificial eyes for wounded servicemen. Exporail, the Canadian Railway Museum in Saint-Constant / Delson is pleased to present their stories in the special exhibition World War Women, developed by the Canadian War Museum, Ottawa. “During the two World Wars, thousands of women served in the military,” said James Whitham, Acting Director General of the Canadian War Museum. “Others made contributions at home, knitting socks and sending care packages to soldiers overseas. Gender barriers were lowered during the chaos of war time, providing women with unprecedented opportunities in all areas of Canadian society. This travelling exhibition tells the stories of these women in their own voices. It looks at the many ways in which women threw their energies into the war effort, often while grieving husbands, sons and brothers killed in battle.” Divided into four thematic zones, World War Women uses artifacts, images, audiovisuals and archival materials to delve into the personal stories of Canadian women during the World Wars. Visitors will meet women from volunteer organizations, wartime workplaces and branches of the military — such as Joan Arnoldi and Mary Plummer, who founded the Canadian Field Comforts Commission; Ada Sylvester, who worked at the Canadian Car and Foundry plant in presentday Thunder Bay, Ontario;

and photographer Lorna Stanger of the Women’s Royal Canadian Naval Service. The exhibition also includes the stories of some of the more than 100,000 grieving wives, mothers and sisters who lost loved ones during the wars. Together, these stories paint a picture of how women’s lives and social roles were transformed in wartime. Their experiences forged a new understanding of women’s capabilities, both within society and within themselves. Developed by the Canadian War Museum, World War Women will be on display at Exporail until January 6, 2019. The Canadian War Mu-
seum is Canada’s national museum of military history. Its mission is to promote public understanding of Canada’s military history in its personal, national, and international dimensions. Work of the Canadian War Museum is made possible in part through financial support of the Government of Canada. Schedule • Until October 28, 2018: from Wednesday through Sunday 10:00 am to 5 pm. • From November 2, 2018 to January 6, 2019: Open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

he Office de consultation publique de Montréal (OCPM), was holding an information session this Thursday, October 11, on the projected changes for McGill College Ave., a rather short but iconic street in the heart of downtown. This past April, the City of Montreal had made public
By Sergio Martinez mtltimes.ca
its intentions to revamp the whole avenue that goes from Cathcart to Sherbrooke, making it "a public space," i.e. a pedestrian area, probably with the intention of transforming it into another hub for public events, a sort of smaller version of the nearby "place des festivals." The city will take advantage of the current excavations on McGill College Ave., to allow the construction of the McGill REM station, to redesign the avenue. The problem now is whether the city plans for the street are what people really need. Following a trend that is now becoming standard in many cities around the world, the basic idea in
the projected change to McGill College is to repossess the streets for pedestrians. Of course, there is nothing wrong with that notion: for decades cities designed roads to serve motorists, the pendulum now has moved in the opposite direction. But then the question is whether we can elaborate urban policies based on whimsical impulses or on more rational thinking. It is necessary to ask then whether converting McGill College Avenue into a pedestrian area responds to the needs of Montrealers –especially those who use it– or is it merely the following of a fad. And perhaps it would
be interesting to remember what the city document itself, says about the importance of the place: "Avenue McGill College is rich in history. For a century, almost without interruption, promoters, property owners, citizens and designers have envisioned a multitude of projects to transform the street. In 1984, this avenue was at the heart of one of the first public stances taken to change a development project. Avenue McGill College, as we know it today with its magnificent views of Mount Royal, was protected thanks to citizen action." The reference is to a proposed development in 1984 which in
fact would have resulted in a narrower avenue, the blocking of Mount Royal from Ste. Catherine St., and the building of a gigantic mall in the area. The citizen mobilization against the project not only ended the ill-conceived plan, but it also meant the end for the control of the city by the autocratic party that Jean Drapeau had led. The new projected transformation of McGill College Avenue seems to have some important problems: first of all, except for the small segment of the avenue between Ste. Catherine and Cathcart where a number of restaurants with terraces are located,
"It is our duty to assure that the citizens' representatives are adequately remunerated in compliance with the modified legal provisions, moral obligations and tax payers' ability to pay," explains Mayor Georges Bourelle. The revision of the remuneration was accomplished by following Council's specific instructions to situate Beaconsfield in the lower stratum for elected officials of municipalities similar in terms of population. A three-fold comparative remuneration basis was developed to ensure that Council members receive equal, just and reasonable compensation. The comparables were evaluated according to the remuneration for elected officials in cities with similar profiles as
well as in the 15 demerged suburban municipalities, and by using a calculation tool offered by the Union des municipalités du Québec (please consult beaconsfield.ca for further information). It was determined that the most equitable basis of comparison was to divide the total cost of remuneration in municipalities of similar population by the number of citizens. 27 municipalities throughout the province, including Beaconsfield, share a similar demographic size. "In addition, we have used data from 2018 or prior. In this way, the remuneration of Beaconsfield elected officials will be in line with the median and below average. This procedure also limits the growth in compensation,
for the benefit of our taxpayers," concludes Mayor Bourelle. Council members' remuneration will come to a vote at the regular council meeting on October 22. The basic remuneration for the 7 elected officials will be adjusted by $28,940. The tax adjustment for taxable expense allowances will be $31,762, for a total of $60,702 or 0.14% of the municipal budget.Thus, for the mayor who holds a full-time position, the basic remuneration will increase from $47,780 to $58,000, with a tax adjustment of $11,296 and a taxable expense allowance that remains unchanged at $16,595. For the councillors, the basic remuneration will increase from $15,920 to $18,000, with a $2,274
tax adjustment and a taxable expense allowance of $10,137. These salaries shall come into force in 2019.

the rest of the street toward Sherbrooke (except for a Second Cup Café just north of President Kennedy Ave.) only has corporate buildings with no venues able to provide some kind of "street life." Could it be that the city creates a public place but then, nobody goes there? Some people have suggested that scheduling public events there would

attract people, but the closeness to the Quartier des spectacles and the Place des Festivals makes it difficult to justify such type of events. A second objection comes from the fact that this avenue has two huge parking installations: Eaton Centre which has already access through McGill College, and Place Ville Marie, whose access and exit is through Cathcart, but cars coming from there usually take McGill College to go to Sherbrooke or some other east-west street. Closing the avenue to vehicles will result in more traffic on Cathcart (a narrow two-way street) and on the adjacent Robert Bourassa and Mansfield St. The discussion is now open and so is the consultation; unfortunately, the current administration has a tendency to make its mind before any consultation (remember the closing of the road on Mount Royal, coinciding with the closing of Dr, Penfield for repairs, which causes serious traffic problems on Sherbrooke St.). Public consultation at the OPCM will take place on November 6 at 7 p.m. at 1550 Metcalfe, 14th floor. Registration deadline to participate and submit a presentation is November 1, at 4 p.m.

50PlusPC teaches technology to seniors
A
Business profile - Sponsored
West Island retiree has just celebrated her 4th year in business helping seniors learn about technology. Monica Reider, of Dollard des Ormeaux, has always had a knack for understanding electronic communications and always enjoyed teaching people. Now she offers training sessions for Facebook, Skype, smartphones, computers, Macs and iPad at her clients’ own homes. She wants her clients to enhance their lifestyles with their (new) devices. If a client doesn’t own a particular device, she will bring hers for them to try and practice on. However, perhaps most importantly, Reider who is 66 refers to herself as a junior senior is close to the age of many of her clients. “I am not intimidating to seniors,” as she puts it. “They feel reassured once I start working with them. We understand stand each other”. Her clients generally range in age from their 60s to early 90s. “I start by asking questions, seeing what my clients’ needs are. I listen to them. I listen to what they want to know. Why must they wait for a course to come along with an abundance of information that is, frankly, useless to them. They don’t need to know the intricacies of a computer, they just want to
email, chat, or even play games like solitaire. I show them, step by step. I don’t do it for them. It’s important that they do it for themselves. Everything is written out and we go over it as many times as necessary until they can comfortably manage on their own and feel independent. Everyone is different. Everyone works at their own pace.” “Sometimes when younger people try showing us how to use technology, they have little patience or understanding. The young ones were born into this computer world, we weren’t, and they sometimes forget that important fact. For them it’s 2nd nature, for us it’s a whole new learning process. I’m a ‘Hands on’ person and know how important it is. I show people and guide them so that they can do this on their own.” It is becoming increasingly important to cope with modern electronic technology and communications for both business and social reasons. Reider points to online banking as an important feature that many seniors are unfamiliar with. “It’s a great feeling; it’s liberating when you don’t need to go out in bad weather, or just don’t feel up to it, to be able to get into your banking online.” she notes. Reider can also show
nent for many Montreal seniors whose families have moved away from Quebec. These new skills help to keep seniors in touch and break the isolation.” “Smart phones can also be intimidating for some users. I had one client who bought such a phone for emergency use, but never used it, never turned it on, not even once for an entire year. She was embarrassed to admit she didn’t know how to use it. She is not
alone. I can show people how to use these things...” Reider jokes about how her husband always used to call for her whenever the family TV or VCR machine wasn’t working properly, and how she was able to quickly solve the issue. To supplement her knack with new technology, she has taken various courses at the Cummings Centre,The West Island Career Centre, and at John Abbott College in recent years. Reider also tends to be one of the consumers who rushes to buy the latest technology just so she can stay abreast of the newest developments. Back in 2013 Reider had impressed the Quebec government enough to merit receiving a new business start-up grant. “I go to my clients’ place of residence to show them how to use their new technology. I have clients over the city, West Island, in NDG, Cote St Luc, Park Extension, Verdun and downtown. There’s a one hour minimum with my services. Payment can be made by cash, cheque, Interac eTransfer or credit card. Some clients even like the idea that they get points from using their credit cards”.

how to sell unwanted items the modern way, via electronic notice boards such as Craigslist and Kijiji, helping clients to de-clutter and perhaps also bringing in some extra cash at the same time. Making purchases online via E-bay and PayPal is also becoming increasingly important. “But the biggest push for seniors is coming from wanting to keep in touch with their families and friends.Young people today
prefer to communicate online by Facebook, Twitter and email; letter writing is almost a lost art.” She also notes that Canada Post has phased out home mail delivery as another reason to get aboard with electronic communications. “Long distance telephone communications can be carried out easily and at no cost via Skype, Messenger, FaceTime etc. Learning about electronic communications is especially perti-

Open-minded and non-judgmental, acceptance was central to Sandra’s worldview - her impartial compassion was generous and genuine. All who had the good fortune of knowing her will not soon forget Sandra’s empowering spirit.

Why West Island businesses should jump aboard the digital transformation train
F
rom the local pizzeria and corner store to large urban retail chains and manufacturers, every business is feeling the impact of technological advancement in a radically changing world. Digital transformation is ushering in big changes to the modern workplace, forcing a total rethink of how things get done. It’s not just about automating and supporting traditional processes; it’s about creating whole new ways of communicating and collaborating, storing and sharing data, and embracing and implementing new technologies. Businesses that don’t take the necessary steps to keep up are in danger of losing out to those that have already made the move. Let’s face it, these days, if someone can’t order lunch from their favourite place with one click on an app, they likely to go to somewhere else that lets them do so -- and quickly. With so much on the line, it’s important to get started on a digital transformation journey. But where do you start? Hugues Bélanger, Strategic Partnerships, Director
at TELUS, offers his expertise and how TELUS, thanks to the power of its network, is ahead of the game. 1. Businesses need a fullservice wired and wireless network. Combining the two into one solution makes it possible to provide a fully resilient solution, without the burden of a second physical connection obsolete, says Mr Belanger. Saving money and boosting efficiency in a in a world where agility and customization are the name of the game is paramount for businesses of all sizes. 2. Put your business in the cloud. “Cloud-based services offer full security and connectivity for just about every type of business,” says Belanger. “ It makes it possible for smaller businesses, in particular, to streamline the need for inhouse servers and hardto-find IT staff.” An important aspect of cloud-based applications is reliability. If you run your point-of-sales or accounting software from a cloudbased server, businesses need to make sure they are always connected to prevent costly downtime. 3. A fastest and reliable net-
work is key Since more and more services are delivered directly from the cloud, it’s very important to get adequate network speed so the performance of the cloud-based applications are not impacted. It’s why so many Canadian businesses are turning to a new generation of cloudbased network technology for the solution, known as SD-WAN (short for Soft-
ware-Defined Wide Area Network). SD-WAN is much simpler than the traditional “hub-and-spoke” technology and much easier and less costly for businesses to set up, maintain and expand. TELUS is the first Canadian service provider to offer its own SD-WAN solution into the market under the name TELUS Network as a Service, or
TELUS NaaS. This model put the network in the cloud and keeps costs down by offering a subscription-based approach to scale. “The network you operate on is the beating heart of your business. It’s a service that is becoming as instrumental as having a good accountant” says Bélanger. By using the proper tools, West Island
businesses will improve their bottom lines by reducing costs and inefficiencies while growing their market. It also allows for more customization, providing a more satisfying customer experience. So what are you waiting for? TELUS is here to help you harness innovation and ensure your business stays ahead of the competition now and for years to come.

n Thanksgiving Monday Sun Youth invited the 120 young basketball players members of its Hornets teams as well as other teams from the Montreal Basketball League (in which the Sun Youth Hornets compete) to give back to the community with NBA Legends Jerome Williams and Gary Payton, as part of the NBA Canada Series presented by Bell. In addition to the two NBA Legends, the youngsters had the chance to volunteer alongside two members of the Raptors’ North Side Crew, the Toronto Raptors mascot and over a dozen volunteers from NBA Canada.The kids will be able to have their picture taken with all these good folks and with the
brand new Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy. Participants were also treated to a free barbecue and took part in draw for tickets to October 10th's Raptors game against the Brooklyn Nets at the Bell Centre. Volunteers from the NBA were kept busy throughout the event, wrapping up toys, sorting out food donations and preparing food hampers for Sun Youth's beneficiaries. The only entrance fees to the event were a donation of non perishable food items or a new unwrapped toy for children 0 to 12 years old. The young athletes thus had the chance to contribute the preparations of Sun Youth's Annual Holiday Campaign which are well under way since the end of August. From mid-De-

It is a perfect wine to have with your favorite meat stew. Winerie Parisienne is represented in Quebec by Elixirs Vins et Spiritueux and the invitation to meet Mr. Brutus was a courtesy of their importer.

gions. The wines are sourced and crafted from diverse appellations that include Napa Valley, Russian River, Arroyo Seco, Lodi and the Central Coast Not long ago, I tasted their Predator Zinfandel and Rutherford Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon both from the 2015 vintage. The Predator line of wines include Lodi Old Vine Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Six Spot Red Blend. A distinctive feature of the wine line is the ladybug icon which is natural predator of destructive vineyard pests. The company employs this ecological strategy to limit the use of chemical
pesticides. The Predator Old Vine Zinfandel 2015 is a rich and creamy Zin with aromas of blackberries, coconut cream and coffee. Quite polished in the mouth with ultra smooth tannins and a moka finale. Perfect for those last BBQ days. Rutherford Ranch Winery is situated on Napa Valley’s famous Silverado Trail which is one of the area’s most renowned sub-appellations.
Their Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 is a hearty wine that sees an extensive aging (over 12 months in American and French oak). Full-bodied with firm but silky tannic structure, this is a big Californian Cab with an interesting aging potential. Deep with intense flavors, it’s bursting with aromas and flavours of ripe blackcurrants, cherry and cedar. On the palate, it displays great depth and finesse with undertones of mocha and sage. Racy with a lingering finale, it should be perfect with an oxtail stew. The wines of Rutherford wine company are available in Quebec via private import imported by Selection Caviste ( https://www.selectioncaviste.com/fr/).The predator Zinfandel retails for around $25 while the Cabernet Sauvignon for around $40
Heitz Wine Cellar When Heitz Cellars opened for business in 1961, the Napa Valley had fewer than twenty wineries. Today there are more than two hundred. The Heitz family were trailblazers in the Napa Valley, establishing new quality benchmarks and gaining an important recognition for their wines. Heitz Cellar has been earning accolades for its wines for over five decades. As the second oldest winery in Napa, Heitz Cellar helped shape the history of Napa Valley winemaking and has for making Napa Valley’s first vineyard-designated Cabernet Sauvignon, Heitz Cellar Martha’s Vineyard. Heitz Cellar is represented in Canada by Mark Anthony Brands. In the annual trade tasting of their importer in Quebec, I had a chance to taste their Zinfandel Ink Grade
Vineyard Napa Valley 2013 ( Private Import, $52.75 per bottle /Case of 12).The 2013 Ink Grade Zinfandel captures the beauty of the variety without going overboard:—a medium to full body wine that is quite versatile a range of international cuisines.The rich core of blue fruit from Zinfandel fruit is beautifully showcased and laced with delicate nuances of graphite and black pepper This wine is loaded with bright raspberry flavors that go slow in your palate with supple tannins. A spicy finale of pepperoncini gives the wine a pleasing lift to the finish.
The Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 ( SAQ # 11898848, $84.75 Available from December). is a knockout. Californian by birth but European by spirit, it charms the drinker with its cassis and floral nuances. On the palate, it is smooth and quite balanced with charming barnyard and graphite notes complemented by long flavours in the finale that recall plums and graphite. This is a highly recommended wine that will charm your upcoming holiday table. Please see more wine articles online: mtltimes.ca

Bibliophile by Jane Mount
O
ver the past 20 years or so, there has been an ever-growing trend of appreciating books. Not just the fact that we like to read a certain book or literary genre, but why we like to read them (sometimes reading certain titles over and over again). This literary appreciation that has turned us not into just bookworms, but bibliophiles, has been exemplified by the multitude of book clubs, book readings and author appearances at bookstores, and book appreciation programs like PBS’ recent series “The Great American Read”. American illustrator Jane Mount knows how to appreciate books, both as a literary and aesthetic masterpiece. Her website (and companion book) “Ideal Bookshelf” takes an individual’s list of alltime favorite books and turn them into a personalized painting that resembles how it would look like it they were placed on a typical bookshelf (and for most part, she portrays the books in question quite faithfully according to their respective original dust jacket artworks). And now, Ms. Mount has put together a volume that combines the literary and artistic appreciation of great books that bookworms and avid readers alike must have on their bookshelves, Bibliophile. From cover to cover, it’s a colorful, eye-catching celebration of the books we read and loved over the years, the people who wrote them, the places • October 13, 2018
about a number of beloved bookstores from around the world (including my favorite The Strand in New York City; even Montreal’s Drawn & Quarterly bookstore on Bernard Street gets a mention); libraries that are just as striking for their architecture as their book collections; the private, customized rooms where such literary greats as James Baldwin, George Bernard Shaw and Jane Austen did their writing; the top 10 best selling books of all time (by the way, Don Quixote is at #1, not The Bible); the anatomy of a physical book; the all time iconic book cover designs; memorable literary cats; pets of famous writers (including John Steinbeck’s pet poodle Charley); and songs that were based on great books (such as Bruce Springsteen’s “The By Stuart Nulman Ghost of Tom Joad”, which was inspired by The mtltimes.ca Grapes of Wrath).

ardio Conditioning or training really refers to any type of exercise that stimulates the Cardio Respiratory System to work harder than usual to supply adequate oxygen to the working muscles during physical activity.The muscles contract to cause the skeleton to move, which causes the heart to increase its output or rate and volume of blood flow. Oxygen rich blood travels from the lunges to the heart then throughout the body although particularly to the key working muscles. It’s a repeating pattern that may increase or decrease via a reflex system that signals the need for oxygen. Traditional exercise classes almost always had a Cardio component and although there is a plethora of fitness class specializations, there is still a real need for regular Cardio (Aerobic) training. Recreational “athletes” as well as people pursuing a fitness program can benefit from improved cardio-respiratory training as much as competitive athletes. Although everyone has essentially the same skeleton and muscle groups, Cardio exercise must match, needs and ability. Choosing the best type of Cardio exercises for “you” is a very individual process and having professional guidance from a Certified Professional Fitness Coach (keep in mind that not all qualifications as equivalent) is a great starting point. Guesswork when it comes to exercise is not
often a great path to follow. In general if you select a few types of Cardio activity to perform exercises below a maxed out threshold, sustaining the “Cardio Training” for anywhere between 10 & 60 minutes, or in intervals at higher and lower intensity, repeating the activities until you reach to the point where you feel a sense of fatigue (you don’t need to kill it), you’re on the right path. Breathing sequence is a very important point to be aware of during Cardio training and for great results follow the trend of using small wearable activity / HR trackers. You should stay within boundaries (hi/low) determined by your age as a prediction method to calculate Training Heart Rate range. It’s also a good idea to use a prediction scale to determine your rate of perceived exertion. Ask a Pro Fitness Coach to help get you show you.. Pick an activity then go*….cycle, swim, runwalk, dance, step, skip, ski or follow a program (gym workout) that causes you to raise your heart rate (either a steady state continuous or Hi-Lo intensity intervals) You might use machines or just you…… moving. Consider joining a Cardio Conditioning focused exercise class and make some form of training Cardio a part of your everyday routine. (Call Peter for a chart to be e-mailed) Peter Churchill C.S.C.S.

“Why do my hands crack and bleed?”
W
By Martha Shannon mtltimes.ca
e admit the answer is complicated: Your DNA, climate, environment, food intake, and whatever touches your skin. Might be a form of eczema of which there is no known cure. It is often advised: “With eczema on your hands, use cortisone and unscented soap.” “Cortisone For itchy skins Even though we know it thins - Use Steroid cream sparingly - Along with Soap Unscented’” The advice is to use the steroid cream sparingly. But why the ‘soap unscented’? Unscented soap means free of synthetic fragrance. Using a soap without fragrance is wise. What they do not tell you is that the unscented commercial soap contains other ingredients that do absolutely nothing beneficial for the skin and are often irritating. If your skin is already tender, why would you want to add parabens, triclosan, sulphates, ureas, 1,4 dioxane, formaldehyde, phthalates, toluene. We, at Earth to Body, have an alternative recommendation, one which has produced phenomenal testimonials. To stop hands cracking
and bleeding, ask Joe. “Suffering from eczema on my fingers for over a year. Skin was severely cracking, flaking, horrible patches. Tried many natural products (unrefined shea butter, aloe, coconut oil, beeswax). Sadly, nothing was working. Been using Earth to Body “x cream & shampoo bar ESP” for 2 weeks.The improvement is unbelievable, it’s 80% better. Also, been applying apple cider vinegar diluted with water, as you recommended. Cannot thank you enough. It’s healed so much in such a short period of time. Will continue using it & will buy more of your products. I’ve sent your web link to friends, who also suffer from eczema.” Joe C. Follow Joe’s advice 1. No commercial soaps. Use only natural homemade, head to toe. 2. No commercial lotions or creams and avoid prescriptions if possible. They may ease, but they also camouflage the underlying issues. 3. Allow only good nutrition to touch your skin. To cleanse: Buy natural soaps, preferably handmade by soap crafters. Visit local farms. Go to craft shows. Ask for a soap without synthetic fragrance and unnatural dyes. Buy from us. To moisturize: Try what Joe did. He was on the right track using unre-
fined shea, coconut etc. Try Health Food Stores. Initially, Joe had not connected the SOAP to his problem. Then he met us. Once he combined the natural soap and the nurturing X cream, he saw results. Our X Cream is most popular. Also recommended to try : Neem Salve, Unrefined Emu Oil, pure Argan Oil, Sheamu or Shargan Butter, Moisturizing Lotion, Spoil Me Body Oil. To cleanse further, disinfect and normalize the skin: Make your own rinse: An organic apple cider vinegar and water ratio 1:3 or 1:4 restores your PH to normal. Stops itching, dryness. Or even better, try our Apple Cider Vinegar rinse with the added nutrients. This advice covers all forms of eczema, psoriasis prone skin where the goal is to soothe and improve the condition. As with all our products, we make no claims to curing or healing as no one can do that. We have a new package available, selling the combo: The ESP Shampoo/Soap bar, the X Cream and the Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse: The ‘Eczema Package’. Visit our shop and you might catch our chefs in action. If not actually preparing the products, they will still be happy to advise.

Movie review
Seirios K9 Academy Professional dog training and behaviour specialist
FIRST MAN: The human side
N
ext year it will be the 50th anniversary of the historic landing on the Moon by the spaceship Apollo 11, commanded by Neil Armstrong. "First Man," directed by Damien Chazelle and written by Josh Singer is then an appropriate tribute to what could indeed be regarded as one of the most significant moments in the 20th century. Canadian Ryan Gosling delivers a solid performance as the somehow troubled Armstrong: the would-be astronaut had confronted a family loss, and at one point he wasn't pleased with the job he had before he applied to be trained as an astronaut. Although he had been in the Navy, at the time when he started his training, he was a civilian. NASA had then opened the Project Gemini to civilian pilots as well. The movie starts precisely with that sad personal loss episode and then it shows his training as a member of the NASA Astronaut Corps which he joined in 1962. Of course, a subject like this lends itself to a display of the patriotic fervour in which some Americans are so prone to engage. How-

remember that the lunar landing had happened in the middle of the Cold War, and in this space race at first, the U.S. had been left behind by the Soviet Union. The Apollo mission accomplished the goal set by President John Kennedy eight years earlier: "before this decade is out, [to be able] of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth." Although "First Man" is very descriptive of the
Moon voyage itself and of a previous mission where some errors could have proven tragic for Armstrong and the rest of the crew if one has to underline one remarkable aspect of the movie I would mention its focus on the human aspect of Armstrong. He is masterly played by Gosling (talks of an Oscar nomination are already circulating), portraying very well his personal dilemmas, especially after the loss of a dear colleague. The tense dialogue between the astronaut and his wife Janet (Claire Foy) the night before the launching of the spaceship highlights the emotional elements involved. Janet, in fact, forces Armstrong to talk to his children and explain to them –the best he can do considering they were still young kids– that this was a mission from which there were no assurances he would be back… "First Man" is a movie apt to all audiences, those looking for some action in space will have its doses, while those trying to get some insight into the first man on the Moon would also have a good idea of what he could have undergone.
