Right, good people. Talk to me about vits/min supplements.
It's not something am up in, other than the most basics, but at Dr this morning for blood tests, she wanted to check my Bs, but as usual not a single drop could she get, so have to do back for someone else to try. I do take supplements and have done for years, so was surprised last year to discover that a random blood that worked then had shown low iron. Taking it tends to upset my stomach a bit though.
So, what is best make, what combo best to try, as iron and calcium tend to go together but what then re needing to take a general one with everything in it...if that makes any sense. At the moment what I take is a multi vit and mineral and a separate D3, and evening primrose out of habit always had, back from when young and was pre meno.
I admit my diet could be better, as in I don't actually eat very much, my appetite is not great and don't often feel hungry. My weight should be far less than it is but my metabolism etc went to hell when developed all the auto immune crap.

With the TaiChi Yin Yang flag and bagua trigram or hexagram also in the flag with the three broken or unbroken lines
You would think Korea taught Bagua and TaiChi since they literally have their symbols in the flag but no they have TaeKwonDo everywhere instead of internal martial arts or Neigong
Trigrams (Black Symbols):
Each trigram consists of three lines, either solid (yang) or broken (yin), and they represent the four classical elements:
Geon Heaven (three solid lines).
Gon☷Earth (three broken lines)
Ri☲Fire (two solid lines with a broken line in the middle).
Gam☵Water (two broken lines with a solid line in the middle)
These elements symbolize core concepts in Korean philosophy and culture, representing harmony, balance, and the interconnectedness of all things

- Les communauté de commune de centre Alsace (Selestat...) qui indiquent "Axe non recommandé pour un public familial" (et distinguent les pistes cyclables des voies partagées)

In May, early-stage mortgage delinquencies posted the largest month-over-month increases of any other debt type, according to a report from VantageScore, a credit scoring company. That's particularly notable, since borrowers usually prioritize their mortgage debt over other loans, making it less common for them to fall behind on their house payments.

Don't miss the beauty in what Israel is doing in Syria, because it is going to have the same effect and the same result as its attack on Iran, only much worse, because Syria shares a border with occupied Palestine.
Israel has now made it clear that it is an enemy of the Syrian people - all of them, regardless of faith or ethnic group. It made an Israeli-friendly government in Syria an impossibility: it will be seen, rightly so, as an act of treason to be friendly with Israel.
This will have a very positive impact on creating a shared Syrian story and ethos, and rekindle the spirit of resistance.
On the military front, Israel now engages in active fighting over a huge piece of geography it has no soldiers to occupy or even monitor. And that's when, in neighboring Lebanon, things are close to boiling point.
Israel has created the perfect conditions for guerrilla warfare against its forces on the ground across many hundreds of kilometers of frontline, stretching from Ras a Nakura on the Mediterranean to the Syrian/Jordanian border.
Israel has chosen to do that at a time when its military is disintegrating, with a serious chunk of its ground forces effectively debilitated or too fatigued and afraid to engage in conflict, and Israeli society finding growing difficulty in just surviving.
Israel, led by Netanyahu, is invading Syria now because, as I have said many times in the past 20 months, they have no other option, psychologically and in terms of the driving narratives. They are being propelled forward by the sheer force of their psychopathy, fanaticism, and previous mistakes.
But the consequences are going to be devastating. Netanyahu will have to ask for American help in the war for the second time in months. Israel just doesn't have soldiers for these adventures, and thinning down further the forces stationed in Gaza will have terrible implications for the remaining IDF colonizer force there. They may have to retreat from parts of the Strip, under fire, while suffering heavy casualties.
And the Intifada that I'm anticipating in the West Bank and East Jerusalem is another catastrophe waiting to unfold.
Don't mistake the Syria campaign for a show of force. These are the last desperate palpitations of a dying body and ideology. Israel is digging its own grave as fast as its remaining energy allows.

@reallyangry
I think the Adhkenazi & Sephardic Jews are descendants of a mixture of converts and the worst of the worst among the Israelites who
travelled over land and sea to make converts who were twice the children of hell that they are if I remember the quote correctly
They are primarily of ancestry from the Soviet Union and Europe and have a lower percent middle eastern ancestry than Syrian Palestinians
Celebrities might lie about Ashkenazi ancestry to stay out of trouble
@reallyangry
Exactly Jesus taught a message of love instead of a message of enslaving or executing people if they are of the wrong ancestry
The worst among the Israelites did not like that message so they revolted and got kicked out and made converts that behaved even worse than them and who discriminated against people based on ancestry even though they were converts and not of that ancestry

This works fine with personal contracts like your mobile. (EE has a porn filter that you can disable in your account.)
But it doesn’t quite work for contracts that usually have multiple users. Like your home Internet. Because a child could connect to your WiFi and access that shmutz.
Your ISP doesn’t see which device accesses the Internet. They only see their router.
OTOH, most routers already have features to block websites for specific client devices. But good luck putting the onus on the parents to configure that properly.
