The Commander of the RCMP’sLower Mainland Regional Police Service,Assistant Commissioner Dan Malo states,“The law enforcement agencies in the

Lower Mainland and the municipalities ofSurrey and Delta are united in addressingthe now fatal conflict between two lower-level drug trafficking groups whose turfwar has erupted on our streets. The issueis certainly not about lack of policeresources or level of integration betweenagencies. This is about the continued lackof information being shared by thosecriminals involved in this violence.”

A significant number of law enforce-ment agencies are working on the shoot-

ing investigations including the SurreyRCMP, Combined Forces SpecialEnforcement Unit (CFSEU-BC), DeltaPolice, and Integrated Homicide

Investigation Team (IHIT). Twenty-twoshootings have been recorded in Surreyand Delta since March 9, 2015.

Continued from page 01"The police have shared everything

possible with the public as we know howthese situations can escalate.Unfortunately, this situation escalatedover the weekend and, sadly, a 22-year-old man has been taken from us," saysC/Supt Bill Fordy, Officer in Charge ofSurrey RCMP. “To the people who areinvolved in these shootings, the choicesyou are making could also easily lead toyour death, or that of innocent people inthe community not connected to thisconflict.”

Police have determined that 14 ofthe 22 shootings are related to a SouthAsian group and Somalian groupinvolved in low-level drug trafficking.The victims and intended victims of theshootings have been uncooperative with

police, which has significantly impactedthe ability of police to make arrests.

"The police are doing all that theycan, but they need information,” saysMayor Linda Hepner. “The code ofsilence we have seen so far will onlyresult in more heartache for the lovedones that are left behind. That is why Iam imploring that anyone who has anyinformation to come forward, do theright thing, and contact police."

"The community of Delta and theDelta Police are stakeholders in a crossjurisdictional crisis that is putting ourcommunities at risk,” says A/Chief LyleBeaudoin, Delta Police. “As you can seefrom the leadership here today, this is ournumber one priority. We all live, coach,

work and raise our families in ourrespective communities and we arecommitted to ensuring long term publicsafety that restores public confidence. Ifyou have any information to help usadvance these investigations, pleasecontact us directly via the new tip line orCrime Stoppers if you wish to remainanonymous."

“The Integrated HomicideInvestigation Team will continue to workin conjunction with our partnersthroughout the lower mainland in ourinvestigation of the murder of ArunBains. IHIT is asking anyone who hasinformation regarding the murder ofArun Bains to come forward and share itwith police,” says SuperintendentDwayne McDonald, Officer in Charge ofIHIT.

"It is essential for cooperation andcoordination between our policingpartners. CFSEU-BC is working closelywith the RCMP, IHIT, and Delta PD torestore the sense of safety and securityback to the Lower Mainland," saysC/Supt. Kevin Hackett of the CFSEU-BC."We want people to know engaging inthis sort of brazen violence isunacceptable and offenders will betargeted."

BY CATHY LOCKEA Yuba City police officer was one of

two people arrested Wednesday onfederal charges related to a cocainetrafficking scheme.

Harminder Phagura, 35, an officerwith the Yuba City Police Department,and GursharanPhagura, 39, of Yuba Cityand Roseville, were arrested based on acriminal complaint, according to a newsrelease from the U.S. Immigration andCustoms Enforcement’s HomelandSecurity Investigations. The complaintaccuses them of conspiring to possess acontrolled substance with intent todistribute, and use of a communicationfacility in narcotics trafficking activity.

The men, who are believed to berelated, were taken into custody byspecial agents with Homeland SecurityInvestigations. They made their initialappearance in federal court Wednesdayafternoon before U.S. Magistrate JudgeCarolyn K. Delaney. Following thehearing, Harminder Phagura wasreleased on $100,000 bond, authoritiessaid. GursharanPhagura remains incustody pending a detention hearingThursday. The case is being prosecutedby the U.S. Attorney’s Office for theEastern District of California.

Shawna Pavey, operations supportmanager for the Yuba City PoliceDepartment, said Harminder Phagurahas been placed on administrative leave.She said he joined the department as areserve officer in 2010 and became aregular officer in 2012. He was assignedto patrol duty and also served as ahostage negotiator.

Yuba City police put second officeron leave in drug case

The arrests are the latestdevelopment in a long-term HomelandSecurity Investigations probe targetingsuspected cocaine trafficking byGursharanPhagura, authorities said.According to information in thecomplaint affidavit unsealed Wednesday,

special agents developed informationduring the course of the investigationimplicating Officer Phagura in thescheme.

The two men are accused in thefederal complaint of being part of aninterstate and international drugtrafficking organization.

According to the complaint, sinceOctober 2011, Homeland SecurityInvestigations and other law enforcementagencies have investigatedGursharanPhagura for transporting illicitnarcotics. During the investigation,Homeland Security Investigations agentsconfronted GursharanPhagura withevidence of his involvement in smugglingoperations. He admitted his involvementand agreed to “become a confidentialinformant for possible futureconsideration to reduce his criminalliability,” the complaint says.

But, according to the complaint,information provided byGursharanPhagura proved unreliable andhe was not used as a confidentialinformant after October 2012.

The complaint alleges thatHarminder Phagura wasGursharanPhagura’s “law enforcementfriend,” who aided the narcoticstransactions by intercepting radio

communications used by federal lawenforcement agents and warning of thepresence of other law enforcementofficers.

Federal authorities said the YubaCity Police Department fully cooperatedwith the investigation. Police ChiefRobert Landon said in a preparedstatement that it was “a sad day for theYuba City Police Department, the citizensof Yuba City and all of law enforcement.”

Incidents like this, he said, erode thepublic’s trust and confidence. He pledgedto continue to fully cooperate withHomeland Security Investigations andthe U.S. attorney’s office.

Investigators Wednesday executedsearch warrants at three locations tied tothe defendants, including two residencesin Yuba City and a home in Roseville.Federal officials said the investigation isongoing.

VICTORIA - Since theintroduction of our Climate Action Planin 2008, British Columbia has beenrecognized as a world leader in the fightagainst climate change.

That doesn't mean we should reston our laurels - so we're taking the nextsteps forward, building on past andpresent success.

Last week, Environment MinisterMary Polak and I announced ClimateAction Plan 2.0. Mike Bernier,Parliamentary Secretary for EnergyLiteracy and the Environment, will chairthe team. With his impressive climatecredentials - during his time as mayor,Dawson Creek became a leader in cleanenergy and climate action - Mike is theright person for the job.

The first step will be the formationof a new Climate Leadership Team,consisting of leaders from B.C.businesses, First Nations, academia, andthe environmental sector. The ClimateLeadership Team will provide advice andrecommendations to government as wedevelop Climate Action Plan 2.0.

Our climate actions led to tangible,long-term success in reducing B.C.'sgreenhouse gas emissions. Last year, weannounced that we had reached our firstGHG emissions reduction target of 6%below 2007 levels by 2012.

At the centre of our plan is NorthAmerica's first and most comprehensivecarbon tax. Thanks in large part to ourcarbon tax, our strong, diverse economyis growing, emissions are falling, and -because the carbon tax is revenueneutral - we've cut taxes.

We don't always appreciate theinternational recognition our climateleadership receives, but there'sincreasing global recognition not onlythat carbon pricing is necessary toreduce GHG emissions, but that B.C.'sbroad-based, revenue-neutral carbon tax

is a successful model to follow. Just lastweek, I was invited to the World Bank-International Monetary Fund springmeetings in Washington, D.C. to speakabout our carbon tax - the first time aCanadian premier has been invited tospeak at the forum.

Last December, Minister Polakrepresented B.C. at the United Nationsclimate change conference in Lima Peru,meeting people from all over the worldwho wanted to know more about ourcarbon tax.

This year, Mike Bernier spoke at theMassachusetts Institute of Technology inBoston at the invitation of Massachusettslegislators, who are considering a carbontax of their own. He also presented ourcarbon tax success story to Canada'spremiers when he represented B.C. atlast week's First Ministers' climatesummit in Quebec City.

Whether at the national orsubnational level, B.C. continues toencourage governments to take action tocombat climate change - to meet or beatour carbon tax. There are reasons to beencouraged. Recently, both Oregon andWashington have committed to carbonpricing through the Pacific CoastCollaborative, and have expressed keeninterest in learning more about ourClimate Action Plan and carbon tax asthey prepare plans of their own.

British Columbia remainscommitted to achieving our legislatedGHG reduction targets of 33% below2007 levels by 2020, and 80% below by2050, and Climate Action Plan 2.0 willhelp us get there - and keep the eyes ofthe world squarely on B.C.

By John Horgan, Leader of the BC New Democrats

VICTORIA ─ I was heartbroken to learn Sunday morning that a

young man had been shot and killed on the streets of Surrey.

That young man was Arun Bains. He was a son, a brother, and a

cousin. He was a nephew to my friend and colleague, Surrey Newton

MLA Harry Bains. Harry tells me Arun was a fine young man who

loved his family and had a bright future ahead of him.

I know Harry and his family have been deeply touched by the

outpouring of love and support from the communities of Surrey and

Delta. Visits from other parents who have lost children to violence

have been a particular source of courage and strength.

Arun’s death comes amid a terrible rise in gun violence in

Surrey’s neighborhoods. Criminals have opened fire at people, cars

and houses 23 times in the past six weeks. This is a shocking

number, a number that seems impossible in a nation of peace.

On Tuesday night, I joined hundreds of parents, educators,

police and community leaders in the gym at Tamanawis Secondary

School to talk about the way forward from here. I heard anger. I

heard longtime residents share their frustration that this problem

has dogged the people of Surrey for so long. I heard the anguish of

a man who also lost his child to violence.

But I also heard tremendous passion for the communities of

Surrey and Delta. I heard a young man challenge his peers to

program the police tips line into their phones right then and there.

We got to meet Jesse Sahota, a young man with a remarkable

message of redemption. As a teenager, Jesse was walking down the

wrong path, seduced by the cars, guns and clothes of a gang life. But

the teachers and counsellors at his school intervened. They set him

on the right path and now Jesse is a two-time national wrestling

champion and an SFU graduate. Today, Jesse works for the Surrey

school district and it’s him that is intervening when a young

person’s future hangs in the balance.

We need more resources in our school system to support the

kind of work that Jesse Sahota does.

Several parents talked about sleepless nights spent waiting

for a young person to come home. They are well aware that their

child is heading in the wrong direction, mixed up with the wrong

people, and they don’t know what to do or who to call. We need to

make sure that everyone – parents, educators, police – have the

tools they need to step in as a young person approaches that fateful

crossroads.

Co-operation and resourceswill end Surrey gun violence

Harry Bains has been a tireless advocate for his community

against crime for many years. Over the past year he has

championed the Surrey Accord. There are some strong policy ideas

in the Accord that would go a long way towards tackling crime in

the short term and addressing the root causes of crime. But what’s

important about the Accord is not a policy, it’s a principle – co-

operation.

Police need residents and parents to speak up when they see

something amiss. Parents need resources and guidance on how to

speak with their kids. Teachers need people like Jesse Sahota to help

cut through the glamorous veneer of gang life to show kids the

cruelty and heartbreak that waits underneath. We need to make

sure that we don’t let a small number of criminals pit one

community against another.

And all levels of government – federal, provincial, and local –

need to stand united to provide the leadership and resources the

community needs.

Only hours before Arun’s death, I was on the streets of Surrey

with 300,000 other British Columbians celebrating Vaisakhi. I saw

the joy and optimism and generosity that bring a community

together. I strongly believe that those are the moments that define

us. During the community forum, even amid the pain and

frustration, I felt that same sense of community and sense of

purpose. I am convinced that when we work together, we can take

criminals off the streets, set our young adults on the right path, and

build the safe, prosperous neighborhoods that the people of Surrey

deserve. Let’s get to work.

Hundreds attend Surrey forum on gun violenceBY KIM BOLANA former “gangster wannabe” now

working with at-risk kids told a crowdedpublic forum in Surrey Tuesday thatparents should never be too ashamed toask for help.

Jesse Sahota said when he was just12 or 13, he sought acceptance by actinglike a “tough guy” and hanging aroundwith the wrong people.

But he turned his life aroundthrough the Surrey school district’s Wrapintervention program, he told more than700 people at an anti-gang forum atTamanawis secondary, the school fromwhich he graduated in 2010.

“Now I provide the same servicesthat were provided to me in 2005,” hesaid to applause.

Sahota joined Surrey residents,police officials and politicians at theforum, organized to discuss a rash ofviolence that has led to 22 shootingsover the last six weeks.

On Sunday, 22-year-old Arun Bains— the nephew of Surrey-Newton MLAHarry Bains — was shot to death in hiscar at 88A Avenue and 126th Street.

Sahota said he wanted to speakfrankly with the crowd, many of whomwere South Asian. While parents arevictims of their kids’ destructivebehaviour, they can also be enablers, hesaid.

“Every community has its issuesand it’s time we acknowledged ours,” hesaid.

One of the teens he worked withtold Sahota that his dad once said: “Ifyou are going to be doing criminalactivity, you might as well be making mesome money.”

Sahota said another issue is thatmany families feel to embarrassed orashamed to seek community resourcesto help their at-risk sons. Many in the

crowd stood on their feet applaudingafter Sahota finished.

RCMP Chief Supt. Kevin Hackett, ofthe Combined Forces SpecialEnforcement Unit, said the wave ofviolence in Surrey is the anti-gangagency’s “top priority.” Even “hardenedpolice officers” are impacted by theviolence, he said.

Police have said young drugtraffickers primarily from the SouthAsian and Somali community areengaged in a violent struggle that hasled to public shootings.

Hackett said that while thecommunity is understandablyconcerned, police will make arrests. Hepointed to the 2008-2010 gang warbetween the Red Scorpions and United

Nations gang.“There was carnage in the street at

that time and there were victims,” hesaid.

But police were able to convincesome of those involved to testifyagainst their “brothers,” leading tocharges and convictions.

Hackett said his officers “aremeeting the individuals that we believeare responsible.”

Surrey’s top cop, Chief Supt. BillFordy, challenged the community tohelp police as much as possible.

“The violence playing out on ourstreets keeps me up at night. I haveasked myself are you doing enough,”Fordy said.

He said police can and will tomore.

“I ask you — all of you — if youcan do more.”

Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner saidpolice are doing all they can.

“You the community are a key partof the solution,” Hepner said.

She said those involved have to getthe message that their behaviour isunacceptable.

“It pains me that a life has been lostamid this senseless violence. And it hasto stop,” she said.

Several MLAs were in attendancebut Harry Bains was not among them.

His family issued a statement aboutthe loss of Arun Bains, calling him “theheart of our family” and neither acriminal nor a gang member.

“As you can appreciate, our familyis still grieving our loss,” the statementsaid.

“This is an extraordinarily painfultime. Arun was the heart of our family.We are still trying to accept the realitythat our son, brother, cousin, andnephew is gone,” it said. “Arun was not acriminal. He was not a gang member. Hewas loved by everyone who knew him.

“Arun was a fine young man wholoved his family and had a bright futureahead of him.”

"For Friendly & Honest Service Always Remember"

Apna Roots, April 24th, 201512 Horoscope

Dear SOS: My cousin

recently separated from her

husband, She didn’t have

enough money to live on her

own, so her elderly parents

offered that she and her two

kids come live with them. It

has been three months and she

says her parents are driving

her crazy. Always complaining

about her kids being too noisy,

and don’t behave and so on.

She says the kids are just being

kids. The parents are not

taking any money from her but

she says she can’t live there

much long. She can’t work as

her kids are 4 and 6 years old.

I live on my own in a two

bedroom condo. I work long

hours and enjoy living on my

own. She asked me if she could

move in with me. I don’t know

what to say to her, she told me

to think about it. We have

always been very close. She

says she cooks and cleans for

all of them. But they pay for

all her expenses. But she says

she’s changed so much living

away from them that she can’t

adjust to their way of life. She

is hoping I will agree to let her

and the kids move in with me.

She says she will try to find a

part time job to help with the

grocery bills. I don’t know

what she plans to do with her

kids when she is at work. More

than that the truth is that I

really don’t want to burden

myself with three people living

in my small place. The more I

think about it, the more I

regret not saying no right away

to her.

I do feel guilty because

she's desperate to get out of her

parents' home. I feel like a

terrible friend. Should I suck it

up and be there for her? If not,

how do I break it to her that I

like being her friend, but don't

want to her moving in with me.

Having Misgivings about

family situation in Vancouver

DEAR Having Misgivings

about family situation in

Vancouver: Your cousin needs a

reality check. She should be glad

that her parents loved her enough to

offer her and her kids a roof over

their heads and pay for all the

expenses.

She should be grateful to them

rather than complaining. They are

adjusting their lives to accommodate

her and the kids. Her kids will only

gain by living with the grandparents.

Plus she has a readymade babysitter,

should she want to go somewhere or

if she wants to work for couple of

hours. Should her parents agree to

babysit the kids. No matter what she

should stay with them until she has

money to get her own place. It is not

your responsibility to help your

cousin escape from her parents

house. That responsibility should be

hers.

Think very deeply before you

say yes to her. You will have no

privacy, a lot of anxiety living in a

small space and two kids. For your

own sake, speak up and don 't allow

her to guilt you into doing

something you know you'll regret.

Dear SOS (Sabrina Offers Support)

Many of the hassles and things that 'slowedyou and your progress' over the last 7 to 14days has lifted now, particularly anything todo with finance and you appear to be able to'manage' so much better, especially 'shoestring' and 'stretching' where and when 'there

is not enough'. Now, there seems to be room for 'plenty'particularly basic needs, vehicles, repairs, appliances and still the'every day expenses'. Several indications of 'special events'appear likely the 23rd to 25th, particularly weddings, birthdays,anniversaries and other 'observations' for achievements and milestones.

Here we may find some of the 'best of the best'

for recent months, as your stars show new

employment for the unemployed, raise, praise

and a 'general lifting up' for those already

placed and several big opportunities to 'make

your mark' in your chosen field 'at this time' to

launch what may easily be a special time, place

or event in your career life. MANY of you may be celebrating

achievements, especially the 22nd to 25th.

Siblings, siblings, siblings. Be happy if you

have them and happy if you don't. This

week may be a lot about 'siblings' for a real

hefty cross section of you; traveling to see

them, accommodating them as visitors,

sharing time, effort or money with them,

enjoying typical actives or even going 'toe-

to-toe' with them. What's more, is that you

can be one with one sibling and other with the other/s. Those

of you born in may, could see the accent be more on 'financial

spending' to get the household and its needs 'up to snuff'.

This week may 'move along very fast' but

have rich, full days of 'one accomplishment

after another' with one day having nothing to

do with the next or last! Be very careful with

any and all 'written' items, double check

amounts, minor details and 'fine print'. High

action days the 21st to 24th may guarantee a

wide variety of 'energies' you will have to juggle and balance

successfully. Help from Capricorn, Virgo, Gemini, Cancer,

Scorpio and Taurus is very likely.

You know how you 'love love'. Well, there isa really great week filled with days to doalmost anything you want to with love. Theonly exception may be the 20th; not socooperative. However, the rest of the week isa minefield of potential explosive romanticenergy; step on it and you will be swept intoa dizzy, busy week.You are able to 'put great

stock' in friendships this week and some of it may be almost'literal' in that there will be a cross section of Leos who chooseto 'invest' in pals in a variety of ways; banking with/on them,throwing their hat in with them or backing their efforts withreputation, finance or effort.

Work is what you live for, breath for and often

dedicate your life to, as long as there is a level

of 'successful outcome' depending upon your

view of 'success'. While for many it may be

'pure profit' for a lot of you this week it is

about integrity, reputation, recognition and

respect. You will have these things or it is

not 'a total success'. Your timing may be a problem the 21st,

your temper the 22nd and your focus the 24th but if you 'stay

on top of those issue ON those days' you can't fail.

Most of your week is filled with good food,good fun and good pals, especially the 21st,22nd and 25/26th but there may be 'cause' foryou to 're assess' the actions or behavior of apal near the 23rd to 24th as you show a'discernment' of kinds that may almost'demand' you see a pal in 'another light'.While this one is almost sure to unfold in

your love life, it is not totally restricted to it and for a smallcross section of you, it may be a friend you decide to 'examinemore closely' and choose to distance yourself from.

There are many of you who appear to be in

the 'negotiating' stages of some very

important career moves, needs and 'roll of

the dice' situation/s. Some are at 'various

stages' while others are creating the 'setting

of the stage' for those many next phases. No

matter where along the trail you are, what is

essential is that you take total control, maintain it and clearly

outline what you will and will not accept, even if you do it

silently or by the 'not doing' of certain things. There are many

ways to send messages and 'set boundaries'.

Your family life is sure to demand loads and

loads of two things this week; domestic tasks:

washing, shopping, errands and bill paying

and spending on travel, vehicles, upgrades,

repairs and vacations. Number one with a

bullet is 'plans that involve either siblings' or

travel, possibly for the winter holidays or

vacation/s. Focus appears to be on June and

July through discussions held the 20th to 24th and

August/September the 25/26th.

You are 'in the mood' this week and as long asother areas of life do not 'overburden you' distractor melt your resolve, you can enjoy a highlyrewarding romantic and sexual life; single orpaired! Hot days for upgrades appear to be the20th, especially the 22nd and some pretty nicethings on the 26th. Problem areas may arise out of

the 21st and 24th but only if you allow them to 'take over' or you'drop the ball'. This IS an excellent week for singles with timeframes the same as upgrade time for paired

This can be a week of great progress

but it all seems to hinge on 'getting the

details' right, addressing the 'small

stuff' and checking and double

checking 'all the bottom lines' as if

you can not be too careful,

particularly on written communications, reports,

anything you 'add to and pass on to the next' and

projections, estimates or promises you 'make on

paper'.

Others of you may be trying tomanage 'interference' from coworkers or

By Emily Sohn

You already know you need to eatwell to stay healthy, but scientists arenow zeroing in on specific diet strategiesthat can help bolster immunity. With coldand flu season right around the corner,here are three to add to your arsenal.

1. Fill Your Vitamin D TankYou may have fewer health

problems—ranging from colds tocancer—if you get enough vitamin D.Your body naturally makes vitamin Dfrom sunlight. You can also get it—albeitin smaller doses—from fatty fish, such assalmon, and fortified milk. But becauseAmericans don’t get enough vitamin D,most experts recommend a Dsupplement. New research in theAmerican Journal of Clinical Nutritionsuggests that taking such a supplementmay help boost your immune system. Ina study of more than 300 Japanesechildren, those who took daily vitamin Dsupplements (1,200 IU) were 40 percentless likely to get a common flu virus thankids who took a placebo. Laboratorystudies indicate that the nutrient mayhelp immune cells identify and destroybacteria and viruses that make us sick,says Adit Ginde, M.D., M.P.H., a public

health researcher at the University ofColorado School of Medicine in Denver.Aim to get at least 1,000 IU of vitamin Ddaily (check with your doctor beforetaking more).

2. Get a Daily Dose ofSoluble Fiber

Mice that ate a diet rich in solublefiber for six weeks recovered from abacterial infection in half the time it tookmice that chowed on meals containingmixed fiber, according to a recent studyin the journal Brain, Behavior andImmunity. Soluble fiber—abundant incitrus fruits, apples, carrots, beans andoats—helps fight inflammation, says leadauthor Christina Sherry, Ph.D., R.D., of

the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.Insoluble fiber—found in wheat, wholegrains, nuts and green leafy vegetables—is still important for overall health, but itdoesn’t seem to have the same impact onimmunity. Strive for 25 to 38 grams oftotal fiber a day, Sherry says, payingextra attention to getting the solublekind.

3. Stay Lean

Overweight adults who cut theirdaily calorie intake by nearly a third sawa 50 percent boost in immunity,according to a six-month study out ofTufts University. (Those who cut caloriesby 10 percent had smallerimprovements.) Restricting calories mayreduce levels of compounds in the bodythat depress your immune response, saysTufts nutritional immunologist SiminMeydani, D.V.M., Ph.D. Animal studiessuggest that calorie restriction couldwork in normal-weight individuals too.“Try to maintain your body weight atwhat is considered ideal,” Meydani says,because eating more than what you needdrags the immune system down. Andremember: when you cut back onquantity, you need to be even morevigilant about the quality of your diet.Aim to eat more fruits and vegetables—and choose lean protein sources, such asfish, chicken and low-fat dairy.

3 Everyday Tips for Immune Support

A great face mask can do wondersfor your skin. An important part of yourweekly or monthly skin routine ishydration. These top picks are for all skintypes.

An important part of your weeklyor monthly skin routine is hydration.Depending on your skin type, a greatmask can remove excess oils or hydratevery dry skin. While you can make yourown masks out of ingredients found inyour refrigerator or pantry, you can buysome great ones, too.

I recommend leaving these maskson your face for 5-10 minutes and thenrinsing with a warm washcloth. Thewashcloth acts as a natural exfoliant.

Baby washcloths are the best forthis, I've found. They are super soft (tryones made from bamboo) and won't tearat skin.

Best for Dry Skin: AhavaIntensive Hydration Mask

I love Ahava productsbecause they're so simplymade but with the mostluxurious of ingredients(hello, Dead Sea mineral-rich mud!) but they don'tcost so much you feel likeyou have to eat peanutbutter and jelly sandwichesfor a week. This hydrating

mud-based mask has won many awardsfrom beauty magazines, but what I likeabout it is it really rich, leaving skinfeeling super soft, supple and hydrated.

You can wash it off after 15 minutes, orfor best results, you can actually sleep init.

Best for Oily Skin: Dr. BrandtPores No More Vacuum Cleaner

Masks for oily skin workby removing excess oil andblackheads. This face maskwas named a Best Beauty Buyby Allure Magazine in 2010.The editors loved it becausethe salicylic and glycolic acidsdo a great job of exfoliatingskin and helping to removeblackheads from problemareas, while the eijitsu rose

helps minimize the appearance of largepores.

Great for Acne: Origins ClearImprovement Charcoal Mask

When it comesto acne masks, lookfor productscontaining bentoniteand sulfur, whichhave the anti-inflammatory anda n t i - m i c r o b i a lproperties.This maskfrom Origins was byfar the best-ratedand most talked about mask for acne thatI found in my research.The charcoal inthis universally beloved facial mask pullsdirt, bacteria and dead skin from yourpores to the surface. The white china clayand lecithin work together to dissolveany remaining impurities.

Kidney failure is a very serioushealth condition, and one that canbring on subtle symptoms that often goundiagnosed. Typically, most patientsthat suffer from kidney failure havelived with kidney disease for quitesome time before it gets to this point.Some lucky ones can also live withkidney disease their whole lives, but itnever develop into kidney failure. Themost important thing to do with akidney illness is to become welleducated about your ailment. Youdesperately need your kidneys to behealthy and working just fine in orderto live a long life. Simple diagnosticssuch as blood work or urine samplescan quickly notify your medicalprovider if kidney disease is present ornot. Pretty simple trip to the localfamily doctor to tell if you havesomething that could seriouslydebilitate your life, so withouthesitation go consult with yourphysician if you have any of thesymptoms recognized as kidney failure.

1. Changes in UrinationThe kidneys work hard for you all

day long producing urine; when theyaren’t working up to par they instantlystart showing signs of trouble throughyour urine. You may start going moreoften, your urine can be various colorssuch as very dark orange to almostclear. You can also begin to notice yoururine bubbling, foaming, or almostlooking as if it’s boiling. Blood in theurine is also a telltale sign that kidneysare in trouble.

2. Swollen LimbsWhen your kidneys stop working

normally, they store that extra fluidanywhere they can find a space atwithin the body. This means the patientmay have legs that are swollen, arms,hands, or their face. Most patientsnotice their ankles swelling first, or apuffy face out of nowhere.

3. ExhaustionYour kidneys are hard workers,

they not only make urine all day long,but they also produce EPO which is ahormone that’s required to create redblood cells. This results in a case ofanemia, which thankfully can be easilytreated by your doctor. Many kidneypatients feel they are tired or fatiguedfrom doing absolutely nothing.

4. Itchy SkinThe kidneys also take waste

particles out of the blood, so whenyours are not up to par you’ll end upwith backed up waste travelingthrough your blood. This generallybegins to show signs of occurrencethrough causing dry, itchy skin patcheson the body. Many patients feel theitching is so severe they were distractedby it most of the day prior to getting

their kidney diagnosis.

5. Foul Taste inMouth

When the patientsuffers from kidney issues, italso suffers from uremia;which is when the wasteparticles develop excessivebuildup inside and you gaina metallic taste in the mouthin return. Some report theyno longer could consume

some of their favorite foods, such asmeats, or breads due to the taste.

6. VomitingNo one ever enjoys vomiting, and

sadly it is a very popular side effect ofkidney failure. Patients experience theitchy skin first, then the constantnausea, followed by a few days ofvomiting. This is why many assumethey have the flu or even foodpoisoning and don’t seek treatment fortheir kidney issue early enough toprevent it from becoming severe.

7. Inability to BreatheWhen you begin to have trouble

breathing, you know something in thebody isn’t sitting well. Catching yourbreath, paying more attention to whenyou inhale and exhale, or havingdifficulty breathing while your activitylevel is low are all symptomatic ofkidney failure. The reason for this isdue to fluid traveling to the lungs, andthe body being deprived of red bloodcells from the lack of regular kidneyfunction.

8. Memory Issues

As you get older, you tend tonaturally become more forgetful; thatisn’t the kind of memory loss kidneyillness causes. This version is more of alack in concentration initially, followedby dizzy spells, resulting in memoryissues. All developing in lieu of anoxygen deficiency caused by the kidneyinduced anemia.

9. Cold or ChillyOften women are usually colder

than men, but this type of coldsensation is caused even when it’s inthe dead of a sweltering summer. It is asign of anemia taking its course, andcausing your temperature to bechallenging to sustain. Increasing youriron intake, drinking more water, andof course getting your kidneysevaluated will all aide in curing thissymptom.

10. Flank PainsMany experience what is known

as flank pain, which is basicallysoreness near the top of the abdomen,sides of the midsection, or middleportion of the back. This locationcoincides with where the kidneys arekept, and can be an indication of severekidney disorder. Most patientsexperience flank pains after theirdiagnosis or once their condition hasgone from bad to worse.

Kidneys are not something to letlinger on bothering you; if you feelpain, or soreness at any point thatdoesn’t subside in a day or two, consultwith your medical professional.Additionally, if your urinary patternshave drastically changed, or if younotice blood in your urine- make anappointment to be evaluated just to beon the safe side.http://rmhealthy.com/

The next time you make rice, don’tthrow away the water! It turns out it’s

one of the cheapest ways to pamper yourskin and hair!

Rice water is full of vitamins andminerals that are wonderful for both hairand skin, something women in Asiancultures have known for centuries.Traditionally, female rice farmers inChina, Japan, and other southeast Asiancountries used to bathe and wash in thewater used for cleaning rice.

One of the best things about ricewater is that it’s probably the simplestDIY “beauty product” you’ll ever make.Some rice and water is literally all youneed!

Make Your Own Rice WaterBeauty Elixir

What You’ll Need:• 1/2 cup uncooked rice (brown,

white long grain, white short grain,

jasmine, or what ever you have)• 2 cups waterTo make rice water, first rinse the

rice with about a cup of water to removeany dirt or impurities.

Then, place 1/2 cup of uncookedrice in a bowl and cover with water. Letthe rice soak for 15 to 30 minutes. Swirlit around and lightly knead it until thewater turns cloudy. This will help thevitamins and minerals seep into thewater, creating a nourishing rinse foryour hair and skin.

Strain out the rice water into aclean bowl or container. You can storeyour rice water in an air-tight containerin the refrigerator for a few up to a week.

Your rice water is ready to use for avariety of hair and skin treatments:

Skin Benefits

Rice water contains vitamins,minerals and amino acids which areessential for beautiful skin, includingferulic acid, which is a great antioxidant,and allantoin, known for it’s anti-inflammatory properties.

Let your face air dry to makesure it really absorbs all of the good stuff.With regular use you will notice your skinfeeling soft, tight, and radiant. Use everyday as part of your skin care routine.
