I AM IN THE MOOD FOR YOM KIPPUR TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF AUTUMN IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE

HAPPY SPRING IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE

FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH OF MEHR IN IRAN AND ALSO The Mehregan Festival, or the Persian Festival of Autumn, is an ancient celebration which is dedicated to Mehr (or Mithra/Mitra), the symbol of light, friendship, love and kindness. Mehregan is also the feast of harvest and abundance.

Tomorrow at sundown begins the 25 hour celebration mainly in reflection and prayers of the most sacred on the jewish calendar Yom Kippur.  It involves fasting and spending time reflecting upon the year past and whether or not each one of us have been a good human being. Once again Gratitude , Humility and Compassion.

The past year has been very very good for travel   Malaysia x 2 Cambodia Japan France x6  Morocco x5 Tunisia x4 India x3 Uruguay Argentina Cuba x7 England Spain Israel  Belgium Mexico x4. During the next month before the end of the Gregorian year, more travels to France England India. 

I am very grateful for my work with the Indigenous peoples and hope it continues this pace. 

The importance player has been IRAN, a country I have been in love with ever since someone gave me Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam when I was still in school. I have learned so much about the resilience, hope and hopelessness, the innocence and vision and the strength of the women of that country.. also learned more about my favourite thing about Iran , its old and new literature and music.

On this Yom Kippur, I would pray for Iran and its people and its freedom.

Conclusions

Results of this cross-sectional study suggest that fish oil supplement labels frequently include health claims in the form of structure/function claims that imply health benefits across a wide range of organ systems, increasing potential for consumer misinformation. Significant heterogeneity exists in the daily dose of EPA and DHA in available supplements, leading to potential variability in safety and efficacy between supplements.

Regularly eating fish and seafood is consistently associated with lower risk for cardiovascular disease. Fatty fish is also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for your heart
