How plant-based nutrition is changing the landscape of medical practice in the U.S.
This annual conference, now in its fourth year, was the first in Northern Arizona to present the latest information on the science and practice of "food as medicine" – medicine that goes beyond managing chronic conditions to promote true healing. Each year, participants learn the latest information on plant-based nutrition, the effects of diet on chronic disease prevention and control, and how to promote lasting behavior change toward an optimum plant-based diet for patients and clients.
Interest in plant-based diets is rapidly growing. Practitioners are now successfully using this interest and information in a clinical setting to change the lives of their patients.
This conference, designed for healthcare professionals, offers up to 11.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits for many medical professionals, and 11.0 CPEUs from the Commission on Dietetic Registration for registered dietitians. Others with interest in nutrition and health also attend.
PLEASE HOLD JANUARY 28-29, 2021 FOR NEXT YEAR's CONFERENCE!

Doug Lisle, PhD
Douglas J. Lisle, Ph.D., is the founder of a new method of approaching human psychology and wellbeing. He describes this approach as Esteem Dynamics – its core insights adapted from a revolutionary biological approach to psychology. Central figures having major influence on Dr. Lisle's thinking include Richard Dawkins, John Tooby and Leda Cosmides, David Buss, Steven Pinker, and Geoffrey Miller. All of these individuals are considered academic A-list thinkers in evolutionary theory and human psychology. Somewhat surprisingly, insights from these trailblazers has yet to reach mainstream clinical psychology, and thus major advances stemming from some of the world's greatest thinkers have yet to be systematically applied to problems of helping people improve their lives. Esteem Dynamics is the first such effort – born of Dr. Lisle's 25-years of clinical experience wedded to the deep insights into human nature now available via evolutionary psychology.
Dr. Doug Lisle received his undergraduate education from the University of California, San Diego (summa cum laude). He completed his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the University of Virginia, where he was awarded the Presidents Fellowship and was a DuPont Scholar. He was then appointed Lecturer in Psychology at Stanford University, and worked on the research staff at the Department of Veterans Affairs at the National Center for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Palo Alto, California. His research and clinical interests have broadened to include health and wellness, self-esteem, relationship satisfaction, the treatment of anxiety disorders and depression, and optimizing achievement motivation. In addition to his work with Esteem Dynamics, he is currently the Director of Research for the TrueNorth Health Center and also serves as the psychologist for the McDougall Wellness Program, both located in Santa Rosa, California. He is author of the book The Pleasure Trap.

"The current transportation funding system is failing and won't be able to rebuild or upgrade the Interstate system," Reason's Director of Transportation Policy Robert Poole said in a statement announcing the new study. "This study shows that alternative financing, via all-electronic tolling, is a feasible way to transform the Interstate system."
The study found that "modest" tolling of existing highways would provide enough funding to cover reconstruction of highways that are in need of repair in 37 states.
The study drew praise from the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association (IBTTA).
IBTTA Director Patrick Jones called the study "a serious effort to examine the costs of reconstructing and widening our 50-year-old Interstate highway system using all-electronic tolling.
"When the Interstate highway system was first being built in the 1950s, the emphasis was on paying to get it built, creating an interconnected national system and creating immediate jobs and economic growth," Jones said in a statement.
"The Highway Trust Fund is one valuable tool to maintain roadways, bridges, and tunnels, but it is not funded at a level needed to address the rebuilding of our Interstate system," he continued. "The recommendations outlined in the Reason Foundation report are critical to helping bridge the huge funding gap to fund our nation's transportation infrastructure. Tolling is one proven funding option to address this huge gap."
The full Reason report on tolling can be read here.

Simple Purchase Ordersby GhostApps
Create POs, restock inventory & automate split dropship orders
All reviews
Restaurant Supply World
This is a great APP for creating Purchase Orders directly from Orders. We not only sell on the Shopify platform, but also have eBay and Amazon stores connected. When orders come in from any of the stores, this app makes it very easy and seamless to create Purchase Orders and email them directly to our Suppliers. Would highly recommend this app for any drop-shipping store!
When Tech Support is required, Alex is very prompt in responding and resolving any issues. Would highly recommend this APP!!
Developer reply
Thanks for your review, it's always great to hear how the app is speeding up your processes and improving your business
Midwest Inkjet
I've been using SPO for a few months now and it's been working great for my business; auto-sending PO's to vendors means I never have to worry about forgetting to send it = peace of mind. I've had a couple of questions along the way and support has alway been quick and helpful. I would recommend this app.
The Sofa Store
I´ve used this app for quite sometime now. At the beginning i wasn´t fully satisfied. I tried all sorts of apps. Basically i had quite simple demands. And this app is really as the name suggests, Simple! It does thinks easier than other inventory apps, and they even developed a function where one can transfer incoming items so that inventory is under control at all times. So after using it for more than 6 months i´m really happy. I would love if they developed a function where one doesn´t need to go into the app to transfer a purchase inte the store inventory. That would be icing on the cake. Oh, and the price is so good for what it does.
Simple Purchase orders gave us exactly what we were looking for. Really easy to install and set up, and gives you the ability to include your supplier codes, product names and pricing in the background of the app for easy ordering. Haven't tested out the auto function yet, but it seems like a great feature once we've been up and running with the app for a while.
We are a multi vendor site serving international customers and this app helps me to AUTOMATE! Off the shelf, it has all the basics we need: Receive order, split order, create PO, automate sending to Vendors. But there were still some things that required tweaking and the support we've received is fantastic. I trialled 4 or 5 other 'big name apps' but they just didn't suit our business. This one does. 5 Stars from me!
Developer reply
Glad to hear how the app's features are helping you to automate your business
Cozy Shed
This app was really helpful. I want to get purchase orders out as soon as possible, which this app lets me do.

Developer reply
Thank you for your review, glad to see the app is saving you so much time creating POs
Urban Armour
This app is amazing. It does everything I need and more. Its simple to use and easy to create and send POs. Integrating it into my theme was flawless and automatic. The developer was super fast and available for my questions. They even added a feature that was on their road map earlier than excepted, and now I can send order notes to my factory. An essential item for custom orders. Highly recommended and functional app. Great and helpful team!!!!
Developer reply
Thanks for your review and helpful feature suggestions!
Brilliant app. Makes ordering so much easier. We used to email orders directly to our suppliers but found that mistakes were sometimes made, entering the wrong product, or wrong address etc. This app eliminates all of these issues. What took us a few hours in now done in less than 30 minutes. Setup is simple and quick. Support is excellent and swift.
Developer reply
Glad to see Simple Purchase Orders is saving you so much time and money from mistakes being eliminated!
We use this app to do all of our PO's. It is simple and intuitive to use. I really love the ability to split an incoming order into multiple locations. Highly recommended app for anyone who wants to keep it simple and easy.
Developer reply
Thanks for this great feedback, pleased to see the features are working so well for you

A challenge of teacher education is to produce graduate primary school teachers who are confident and competent teachers of mathematics. Various approaches to primary school teacher education in mathematics have been investigated, but primary teacher education graduates still tend to be diffident in their teaching of mathematics. In an age where personal use of mobile technologies is becoming ubiquitous, such technologies could provide a conduit into making mathematics teaching and learning more accessible to primary teacher education students. This paper introduces the use of a pedagogical framework which can scaffold mobile learning in mathematics teacher education programs. The paper discusses ways in which this framework, the Mobile Pedagogical Framework, can contribute to enhanced primary teacher education in mathematics, using mobile technologies. The Framework has three major dimensions: authenticity, collaboration and personalisation. Each of these will be discussed in terms of their alignment with current ideas about quality teaching in mathematics.

Economists say Trump off on tariffs' impact
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump promised on Twitter that tariffs would maximize the country's economic heft and "MAKE AMERICA RICH AGAIN."
Almost all economists say the president is wrong. That's because tariffs are taxes on imports. They can cause higher prices, reduce trade among countries and hurt overall economic growth as a result.

Home insurance is one of those expenses that many homeowners don't think much about…until disaster strikes. We all strive to pay as little as possible for Home Insurance, however when the time come that we need it, we pray we did not pay too little.
Everyone that has a place they call needs insurance. If you own property, at the very least, then you need protection against liability for accidents that injure other people or damage their property. If you have a mortgage, your lender will require an insurance policy that at least covers their investment. If you rent property, be it a home or apartment, your landlord will most likely require renter's insurance to protect your personal belongings. However, these basic policies are focused on protecting other people.
So, why are you purchasing home insurance? Are you insuring your home and/or personal belongings because your mortgage Company or rental agreement requires that you have insurance, or are you purchasing home insurance to protect your investment and family in the case of a disaster? Be clear on what you want from your Insurance policy and then make sure you get a policy that will achieve those results.
Know What is Covered and What is Not:
There are many different events that can cause damage to your property: fire, wind, flooding, and theft just to name a few. Depending where you live, insurance companies may or may not cover certain causes of property damage or charge significantly higher premiums for certain coverage.
In addition, insurance policies will vary in the type of expenses it will cover: property damage, additional living expenses, personal liability and medical payments. It is important that you clearly understand what types of property damage your insurance policy covers and what is does not.
Be Sure Your Insurance Policy Provides the Amount of Coverage You Need:
Understanding the amount of coverage you need can be very tricky…understand what your insurance policy actually covers can be even more difficult.
Every policy will have a "Declaration Page" which outlines: your dwelling limit, your content limit, your additional living expenses limit, and other limits. The better your coverage, the less you will have to pay out of your own pocket in the event of a claim.
Most people under estimate the true value of replacing their home and belonging, much less the cost of living while your home is being repair or replaced. If you are unsure of the amount of coverage you need to adequately protect your investment and family, you should contact a qualified Insurance Appraiser.
Compare Deductibles
The deductible is the initial amount you have to pay out of pocket on each claim you make on damage to your house or property. While having a higher deductible will help lower the cost of your insurance, you need to be sure you are comfortable paying the deductible if you need to make a claim. Carefully compare the cost savings associated with a higher deductible to ensure they are worth it.
Understand How the Compensation is Calculated:
Homeowner's usually have the option to choose to insure your home and belongings for either replacement cost or actual cash value.
Actual cash value or market value is the standard insurance companied arguably prefer. In this type of policy, the amount the homeowner receives is based on the cost to replace the property with similar materials and quality, less any depreciation. The insurance company determines the depreciation based on the combination of objective criteria (age, current market conditions, desirability) and subjective assessment (wear and tear). These polices tend to be very vague in respect to depreciation, changes to building code and workmanship and thus are more likely to end up in court to determine what is fair.
Replacement cost is the amount it would take to replace or repair your home with materials of similar kind and quality, without deducting for depreciation. The means the homeowner is compensated for the actual cost of the property repair or replacement, thus usually is a more favorable figure from the homeowner's point of view.
For those homeowners that would rather pay more for the peace of mind of knowing what their compensation will be, a Guaranteed Replacement Cost policy with a single limit pre-set your compensation and combine your benefits.
Choosing an Insurance Company:
There are countless companies offering insurance these days: some are recognized insurance companies, some are companies you never heard of, many major banks and even major retailers are now offering insurance, not to mention the on-line insurance companies.
While dealing directly with an insurance company on-line may reduce your costs, it is also eliminating an additional layer of professional advise and support that a local established insurance broker can provide.
However, using an insurance broker does not mean you should not do your homework. While most insurance brokers are very professional in looking after the needs of their customers, they are also obligated to represent the interests of the insurance companies they represent.
For professional advise that The best way to ensure you are getting insurance advise that truly policy is by hiring an independent Insurance Consultant that you can be sure is on your side.
Read Your Policy Carefully
A home insurance policy is a legal contract. It is written so that your rights and responsibilities as well as those of the insurance company are clearly stated. When you purchase home insurance, you will receive a policy. You should read that policy and make certain you understand its contents. Keep your policy in a safe place and know the name of your insurer.
Review Your Home Insurance Needs Every Year
You should review your home insurance policy at least once a year to make sure your policy provides adequate coverage. Changes to your home, your neighborhood, the real estate or construction industry, or even your families routines could effect the type and amount of coverage you require to fully protect your investment and family.
Report All Major Home Renovations
Most insurance policies have some sort of disclaimer stating that any changes to the property without notifying your insurance company could result in the policy being deemed null and void.
Most homeowners assume this only refers to the additional property value resulting from the renovations, however it is better to be safe than sorry…it is recommended that you send an email to your insurance broker notifying them of any significant renovations. At least then you can argue that you notified them.
Before Making A Claim…seek Advice:
Just like your Insurance policy is a legal document, so is your insurance claim. The wording of your claim can play a critical part in the amount of compensation you get for your claim. If you are unsure about how to word your claim, it may be a wise decision to contact a "Claims Advocate Team" to help manage your claim and ensure you achieve the desired results.
Like with most things in life, you get what you pay for. Don't assume all insurance policies or insurance companies are the same.
The cost of your home insurance policy is based on many different factors, including: the size and value of your home; its geographic location; heat sources; type of policy; type of coverage; the size of the deductible; and reputation of the insurance company.
While it is wise to shop around for the best price…make sure you are not compromising important coverage that you will need should a disaster occur just to save a few dollars.
Hopefully, you never find yourself in a legal battle with your insurance company over compensation for a claim, however these decisions usually favor the party with the most detailed and reliable information. quinju.com allows you to collect, organize, store and archive every detail of your home renovations projects.

Report of the committee
Thursday, October 25, 2018
The Standing Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Trade has the honour to present its
Your committee, to which was referred Bill C-79, An Act to implement the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership between Canada, Australia, Brunei, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam, has, in obedience to the order of reference of Wednesday, October 17, 2018, examined the said bill and now reports the same without amendment but with certain observations, which are appended to this report.
Respectfully submitted,
to the Nineteenth Report of the Standing Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Trade (Bill C-79)
Taking into consideration the testimony heard during the Standing Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Trade's ("the committee") study of Bill C-79, as well as the findings in the committee's report entitled Free Trade Agreements: A Tool for Economic Prosperity tabled on February 7, 2017, the committee makes the following observations for consideration by the Government of Canada:
1. The committee is aware, based on testimony and written submissions it received, that potentially adverse effects could impact the competitiveness of some Canadian industries, including in the agricultural sector, if Canada is not among the first six countries to ratify the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). The committee recognizes the potential benefits of the CPTPP and understands the significance that Canada be among those first six countries to ratify the agreement to ensure that Canadian businesses are not put at a competitive disadvantage. The committee prepared for the study of Bill C-79 by reviewing its recent examination of benefits and challenges associated with free trade agreements (FTAs) as well as past experience studying various FTA implementation bills. The committee also closely monitored the work previously accomplished by the House of Commons Standing committee on International Trade regarding the original Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and took into consideration analysis it received that compared changes between the CPTPP and the TPP.
2. In this instance, the committee understands the importance for Canada to be one of the first six ratifying countries of the CPTPP. Nevertheless, it reiterates that parliamentarians require sufficient time to study comprehensive, complex and technical FTA implementing legislation.
3. In addition, the committee notes the significance of regulations relevant to the implementation of an FTA, and underscores that the federal government should work closely with impacted stakeholders when developing those regulations. As well, considering that regulatory changes are not part of an FTA implementation bill, information regarding relevant regulations should be shared with parliamentarians in the context of their study of FTA implementing legislation.
4. Moreover, the committee insists on reiterating an observation from its 2017 report on FTAs: promoting trade is about much more than signing FTAs. In line with a recommendation made in that same report, the Government of Canada should develop a robust FTA implementation strategy designed to help Canadian businesses maximize the benefits of the CPTPP. Such a strategy should include the mobilization of federal trade promotion services to ensure that they are ready to fully support Canadian businesses interested in CPTPP markets. Such an implementation strategy should be made available as soon as possible after the agreement enters into force. The committee also emphasizes that coherence between trade and economic policies is critical to help Canadians compete and succeed in the global marketplace.
5. Furthermore, the Government of Canada should identify federal measures intended to mitigate the CPTPP's potentially adverse impacts, including transition programs for Canadian workers and industries negatively affected by that FTA.
6. Finally, the Government of Canada should ensure that FTA provisions on labour rights and standards are consistently enforced, and that such provisions are designed in a manner that can meet their underlying objectives.

7 Summer Habits That Ruin Your Hair
When it comes to summertime beauty, you're all about protecting your skin. You already know that too much time in the sun can be harmful to your complexion. You've heard about the dangers and have been taught to limit your exposure to the sun. But there are some bad summer habits that can ruin your hair that you may not even be aware of.
Believe it or not, swimming, sunbathing, and even wearing a ponytail can do some pretty major damage to your hair. But things like wearing a protective hat and thoroughly washing your hair after a swim can help prevent some of the dryness and discoloration that can make your locks look less than perfect.
Your summer social calendar is probably already filling up, and the last thing in the world you want is to have to run from the camera in fear every time someone wants to post a pic to Instagram. But if you stay away from some of these bad summer hair habits, you can keep your hair healthy and looking great all summer long. And that's enough to get you a picture that's worthy of becoming the new profile pic — at least for a few months.
1. You Use The Wrong Ponytail Holder
An article in Redbook cautioned against those thin hair elastics, as they cause breakage to your hair. Instead, use bobby pins to pull hair away from your face gently. Your hair will thank you.
2. You Get Too Much Sun
Marie Claire warned girls about the damage too much sun can do to your locks, including dryness and discoloration. If you're going to spend a lot of time outside, be sure to wear a hat or use a heat protectant on your hair first.
3. You're Rough With The Brush
You may be in a rush after your morning swim, and think you have to comb through your hair. But according to the Huffington Post, you should take your time when detangling your hair. and enlist the help of a detangling spray and a wide tooth comb.
4. You Get Salty
According to Stylecaster, the ocean's salt water can leave your hair a dry, tangled mess. The site recommended applying a good leave-in conditioner to your hair before taking a swim in the ocean to combat the negative effects. And be sure to give yourself a good shampoo afterwards.
5. You Wash It Too Much
With all of that beach and pool time, you're definitely going to take more showers this summer. But too much shampooing will strip your hair of it's natural moisture and lead to breakage, according to the Aveda Institute. For daily washing, it's best to use a lighter shampoo or co-wash.
6. You're Trying To Lighten Your Hair
You may want to add a little lemon juice to give your hair a sun-kissed glow. But on their website, Urban Bush Babes warns that things like alcohol, peroxide and lemon can dry out your hair. Leave the lightening to the pros.
7. You're Covered In Chlorine
Prevention magazine noted that chlorine buildup can cause some pretty major hair damage, including leaving a disgusting green film. To combat the pool's damage, the magazine suggested protecting your hair by rinsing it with tap water before you dive into the pool. Additionally, adding leave-in conditioner after will help retain moisture.

'Are You The One' Premiere Recap: Spin The Bottle Brings The Drama
Another season of 'Are You the One?' is here and the new twist is definitely bringing on the drama. This time, it's not just about finding love — it's about the love of money.
Night one of Are You the One? season three featured there was hooking up, screaming, and yes, the first truth booth. Right away, the cast — 10 men and 10 women — were informed that this time around, every week without a match, they lose $250,000. So if it happens four times, they win nothing. Let's just say, the pressure. Was. On. But let's get to the hooking up.
Right away we meet the crazy kids looking for love. Mike, the male stripper is embarrassed about his job… but looking for love. He's immediately attracted to Amanda (and her freckles) and by the end of night one, he's telling her he'll move to Colorado for her. Devin, who starts with meditation every morning, draws ladies in with that — and it works on Kiki. She actually has a bracelet that says "Perfect" and made one that says "Match" for whoever that is. And she thinks it's Devin.
Another early connection is between Alec and Rashida. I mean Stacey. I mean Hannah. Yes, he kisses all three of them on night one, but to play devil's advocate, the kiss with Hannah was just spin the bottle. The other two, he seemed actually interested in for a few minutes. After spin the bottle, Stacey absolutely flipped out on Alec and screamed at him in front of the whole house. Yes, this is still night one. She ended it (it being their apparent connection after 30 minutes).
It's Challenge Time
For the first challenge of the show, the men had to guess who was who based on pics of the girls as kids; then vice-versa. Mike and Hunter, won dates for the men, and Melanie and Cheyenne won for the girls. Melanie picked Devin (which did not make Kiki happy); Cheyenne chose Chuck; Mike chose Hannah; (and not Amanda!); and Hunter took Kiki. The rest of the singles had to send one of the couples into the truth booth. Back at the house, Devin and Kiki were all over each other, saying they really just wanted to be together on a date.
Mike told Amanda the reason he didn't pick her was because he already knows they're each other's matches, so they didn't want to go into the truth booth on week one; Hannah knew too, and was ok with it. So with that, naturally Mike and Amanda went to bed together. So onto the date: they swam with dolphins, Cheyenne got seasick, Kiki and Hunter kissed underwater, and while they had a lot in common, it was Devin who gave her butterflies. Meanwhile, Devin admitted that in his past four relationships, he cheated on all four. Eek.
Hunter and Kiki were sent into the truth booth after the date, even though she said there was no actual connection. Luckily, they weren't a match. So, who picked who in the first match ceremony?
And The Perfect Matches Are
Hannah picked Chuck
Rashida picked Tyler
Amanda picked Mike (after a screaming fight with Keke)
Melanie picked Devin (after talking sh-t about him; Devin liked the love triangle and Nelson called him out for saying he wanted to hook up with both.)
Chelsey picked Connor
Keke picked Austin (after being heartbroken by the new side of Devin)
Stacey picked Alec (even though they were already arguing, and he admitted he was telling her what he wanted to hear in the beginning.)
Brittany picked Hunter
Cheyenne picked Nelson
Kayla picked Zak (out of default)
So did anyone match? Just a reminder, for every week they have a black out (no matches), they loose $250,000. Luckily, this week there were two. Alright guys, are you loving this season as much as we are?

Sensory Integration Crash Mat
Provides more benefits than you realize. Ironically enough, a crash pad can improve gross motor skills and motor planning. By jumping into a crash pad, you receive a large amount of sensory support that provides deep pressure from the leg and knee muscles to the joints, which is good for muscle tone and core strength. In addition, when people fall into the crash pad, the fabric helps strengthen their tactile senses as well as their balance and coordination in their vestibular system. 36"W x 72"L x 20"H This is an oversize item and will incur extra shipping charges.

Personally, I use:
python -c "import urllib2, sys;eval(compile(urllib2.urlopen('http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py').read(), 'distribute_setup', 'exec'))"
on Python 2.x and
python -c "import urllib.request, sys;eval(compile(urllib.request.urlopen('http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py').read(), 'distribute_setup', 'exec'))"
on Python 3.x. This technique saves the extra step of running the Python code after downloading it and deleting the distribute_setup.py after (though you still have to delete the .tar.gz file downloaded).
The biggest disadvantage is that it's long to type and has to be customized for Python2/3 (though I believe the suggested proposal has the same limitation).

IRVINE MEADOWS (CBSLA.com) — Thousands were feeling the Bern in Orange County Sunday.
Vermont Senator and presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders spoke to an enthusiastic crowd of supporters and vowed to continue his push for the Democratic nomination.
Just prior to going on stage, Sanders spoke one-on-one with CBS2/KCAL9 Political Reporter Dave Bryan.
Despite the fact Clinton has a large lead in delegates, he told Bryan he was not only going to win California but that he was going to fight all the way to the convention in July.
Sanders lashed out at what he called "the corrupt campaign finance system" an "an absurd" delegates-selection system.
Bryan began by asking Sanders about his criticism of the Democratic party. And his zero chance of winning. Doesn't he get the math?
"Here's the math," he said. "there are polls that came out recently where Hillary Clinton actually lost to Donald Trump. So part of the math, is which candidate stands the best chance to make sure that Donald Trump does not become president of the United States? — and that's me."
If he does win the California primary, does he expect a divided convention?
"I think we have a realistic chance in the sense that if we do really well in California, and in the other five states, and the non-state primaries, it will be possible for us to get 50 percent of the pledged delegates," Sanders said.
Bryan asked Sanders about the fear that many Democrats have that his continued "fight" could be splintering the party. He became fired up and attacked the Democratic party establishment.
"I look at it very differently," Sanders said, "those, some Democrats, they are Senator Clinton's supporters. I look at it, as here in California, more than one million people have registered to vote. Which as I understand is historical, it's never happened. I look at tonight, where we'll have 7-10,000 people there. And the Democratic party has to understand, if they're going to be successful, they're going to have to open up and bring new people in. And they have to bring in, the people who do not necessarily go to fancy, high-priced fundraisers."
Bryan asked, despite the rhetoric, if he felt some responsibility to help unite the party.
"As I have said many, many times, if I am the nominee or if I'm not the nominee," Sanders said, "I will do everything I can to see that Donald Trump is defeated. Donald Trump, in my opinion, would be a disaster for this country if he were elected president. And I will make sure that that does not happen."
In the continuation of his interview, Sanders told Bryan about his plans to win over SuperDelegates, and he also told Bryan what his thoughts were about Hillary Clinton.
He said, "Look, here is the story. I've known Hillary Clinton for 25 years. We served in the Senate together. The issue today, is whether the Democratic party is going to represent working families in a forceful way. If the Democratic party is prepared to do that, I will be elected president, Hillary Clinton will be elected president, one of us will be elected president. Donald Trump will not."

Netflix has said that those critics who panned its new Will Smith movie Bright – and there were many – are 'pretty disconnected' from what makes a good film.
The movie found Smith as an LAPD cop in an alternate universe struggling with the appointment of the first ever Orc cop as his partner, played under heavy prosthetics by Joel Edgerton.
As an example of notices in the press, it was described as 'laughable', 'a bloated, expensive mess', and 'astoundingly bad in virtually every way'.
"The consumer response to the film has been great," countered Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos.
"Every internal measurement says it's one of our most-watched pieces of original content – meaning TV show or film – that we've ever had. If you look at the [audience-generated] reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb, you see positive experiences with that film.
"Critics are an important part of the artistic process but they're pretty disconnected from the commercial prospects of a film. The way we look at it is [that] people are watching this movie and loving it and that is the measure of success. If critics get behind it or don't, that's a select group of social media influencers talking to a select audience."
According to Nielsen, of its 111 million subscribers worldwide, 11 million streamed the movie on its opening weekend.
Such is Netflix's satisfaction with the movie that a sequel is already in the pipeline.
Revenue from the company hit $3.2 billion last year, with a profit of $186 million in the last three months of 2017.

In the golden age of streaming — with more options for viewing than ever before — information often gets muddled.
What can you actually watch on a streaming site like Hulu? What does it cost? How does Hulu's new live TV service (or services like it) differ from the standard cable package?
In this post we are going to give you detailed Hulu Review so you can decide to buy freely if you're considering to buy Hulu TV.
What Is Hulu?
Hulu was founded in 2007 as a joint venture by companies that included Disney, 21st Century Fox, Comcast, and Time Warner.
Originally launched as a way for TV networks to stream TV content on your computer, the service has expanded and is now available on almost every streaming device. Your TV might already be able to stream Hulu. It's everywhere.
Hulu is an on-demand video service that allows users to stream popular TV shows in the U.S. and Japan. It is co-owned by The Walt Disney Company, 21st Century Fox, Comcast, and to a lesser degree, Time Warner.
Unlike traditional TV subscriptions, with Hulu there are:
- No contracts or long-term commitments
- No-hassle cancellation via Hulu.com
- No appointments, home installation, or special equipment needed
- No hidden costs or fees (sales tax required in some areas)
How Does Hulu Work?
If you've ever used a streaming service, you'll be able to quickly pick up Hulu, but learning its quirks might take you a few minutes.
Hulu keeps its content separated, so you won't see movies when you're looking for TV shows and vice versa. Hulu remembers where you are in each episode, and it creates a list of favorites that appears at the top of your screen whenever you fire up the app.
Using Hulu is a joy. Even with ads, the service aims to give you an ideal experience, often allowing you to watch one long ad at the beginning of an episode instead of several short ones throughout.
When you're done watching something, the service recommendations another show or film based on your viewing habits.
However, my personal favorite feature only appears when you close the app while in the middle of a movie or episode.
The next time you open Hulu, the service immediately asks if you'd like to pick back up where you left off. If you have a partner who falls asleep during movies regularly, it's a godsend.
When it comes to searching for content, Hulu works hard to help you discover things, even if you don't know you want to watch them.
The app suggests shows based on your tastes and has deep category options for searching that allow you to browse through content listings by everything from Genre to Release Company.
Curious about everything ABC has available? You can look under their category to see shows from their network and shows it's produced for syndication. It makes for great late-night browsing when you just can't think of anything to stream.
You can also add on the Showtime catalog for an additional cost per month, which allows you to watch the premium cable service's original programming and Showtime movies even if you've cut the cord.
Hulu has made big strides to keep up with Netflix when it comes to original programming. In addition to a wide range of incredible British shows you can only watch there, most notably Moonboy and The Wrong Mans, Hulu's made great shows like Aaron Paul's cultist thriller The Path and an adaptation of Stephen King's 11/22/63 starring James Franco.
Hulu Compatible Devices
Here are the devices that Hulu can operate
- Apple TV (fourth generation and up)
- Fire tablets
- Fire TV and Fire TV Stick
- Xbox One and Xbox 360
- Roku and Roku Stick (on certain models)
- iOS and Android smartphones/tablets (via Hulu app)
- Chromecast
- Web browsers
- Samsung TVs (on certain models)
- LG TVs (on certain models)
- Nintendo Switch, Wii, and Wii U
From its inception, Hulu has been about TV shows, and that emphasis remains.
The service offers hundreds of seasons and thousands of episodes from major networks. However, the rise of network-specific streaming services, like CBS All Access, might cut into this vast content library.
Disney's recent acquisition of 21st Century Fox's Film and TV divisions isalso problematic, in light of Disney's plans to launch its own streaming platform. There's still enough good TV content that we're not downgrading its rating—yet. But if the trend continues, it will definitely be a problem for Hulu.
One solution to this problem is, of course, making your own shows and movies.
Like Netflix and Amazon, Hulu creates original content. Its offerings have been a mixed bag, including prestige projects like The Looming Tower, hits like I Love You, America with Sarah Silverman, and less worthy offerings like Rocketjump: The Show.
Netflix Originals have been more successful and more varied, including mega-budgets productions like The Crown, animated hits like Bojack Horseman, stunning genre pieces like Stranger Things, and smash-hit Marvel miniseries like Jessica Jones.
Amazon also has a growing list of quality originals, including The Grand Tour, Patriot, The Tick, and Transparent. Recent original releases, such as Difficult People, Marvel's Runaways, and The Handmaid's Tale have improved Hulu's reputation when it comes to original content.
The service offers many current broadcast and cable TV shows, which appear on Hulu sometimes as little as a day after airing on the traditional outlets.
Hulu shares this day-after availability with Amazon and iTunes. Netflix, by comparison, only releases complete seasons, which is great for bingeing, especially when it comes to the service's original shows.
It does mean that regular network seasons don't reach Netflix for as much as a year after the first episode is shown.
For some newer shows, only the most recent season or two is available on Hulu. If you're starting from scratch, you'll have to get the earlier parts from a competitor.
Some very popular shows only offer the most recent few episodes, so it's important to stay current, or you'll have to go to a service like Amazon Video or Apple iTunes to buy the ones you missed.
For older complete series, there's quite a bit of overlap between Hulu and Netflix; both services have every past Star Trek series you could possibly hope to watch, although for Star Trek: Discovery, you'll need to sign up for CBS All Access.
While Hulu may now have the edge when it comes to shows, Netflix's wide variety of films and documentaries trumps Hulu's solid but modest movie library. Hulu no longer includes films from the Criterion collection, which have since moved over to Turner's FilmStruck streaming service.
Hulu does have a large selection of Korean, British, and Latino programming. If you're a fan of import television, it's a strong offering.
How Much Does Hulu Cost?
Although Hulu used to offer a free (albeit limited) version of its library of content, that is no longer the case. The platform moved to an entirely subscription-based model in 2016, eliminating the ad-supported service.
However, in a recent partnership with Yahoo, Hulu moved some of its free content to Yahoo View. The website will make available the most recent episodes of select series, and new episodes will be added eight days after they air.
The traditional Hulu streaming service is now divided into a subscription, ad-supported tier for $8 per month and an ad-free tier for $12 per month (which we think is well worth the money), with a few contractually obligated exceptions like Grey's Anatomy and Once Upon a Time.
Hulu with Live TV is $40 per month for limited ads or $44 per month for ad-free viewing.
How Much Internet Speed You Need To Have For Hulu?
Hulu and Hulu with Live TV can be streamed at a variety of different quality levels, which will adjust automatically depending on your internet speed.
For smooth, interruption-free playback, Hulu recommends a minimum download speed of 6 Mbps for Hulu in HD and 8 Mbps for Hulu with Live TV.
If you are planning on streaming to multiple devices, more bandwidth will be required for a quality experience. Currently, 4K streaming is not supported, and Hulu has not made any indication as to when (or if) it will allow for 4K streaming.
The internet connection speed requirements for Hulu are as follows:
- Standard Definition: 1.5Mbps
- 720p HD: 3Mbps
- 1080p HD: 6Mbps
- Hulu with Live TV: 8Mbps
Is Hulu Worth It?
If you're on the fence about getting Hulu because you don't know if it's worth it just for The Handmaid's Tale or Marvel's upcoming Runaways, you're definitely going to get a valuable streaming service.

Leviticus 21:15
"Neither shall he profaneH2490 his seedH2233 among his people:H5971 for I the LORDH3068 do sanctifyH6942 him."
King James Version (KJV)
Leviticus 21:15
12. Neither shall he go out
Commentary for Leviticus 21:15 Click here to view
10 And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes 11Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother 12Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the LORD. 13And he shall take a wife in her virginity. 14 A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife. 15 Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD do sanctify him.
More was expected from a priest than from other people, but more from the high priest than from other priests, because upon his head the anointing oil was poured, and he was consecrated to put on the garments (Leviticus 21:10), both which were typical of the anointing and adorning of the Lord Jesus, with all the gifts and graces of the Holy Spirit, which he received without measure. It is called the crown of the anointing oil of his God (Leviticus 21:12) for the anointing of the Spirit is, to all that have it, a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty. The high priest being thus dignified,
I. He must not defile himself at all for the dead, no, nor for his nearest relations, his father or his mother, much less his child or brother, Leviticus 21:11. 1. He must not use the common expressions of sorrow on those occasions, such as uncovering his head, and rending his clothes (Leviticus 21:10), so perfectly unconcerned must he show himself in all the crosses and comforts of this life: even his natural affection must be swallowed up in compassion to the ignorant, and a feeling of their infirmities, and a tender concern for the household of God, which he was made the ruler of. Thus being the holy one that was entrusted with the thummim and the urim he must not know father or mother, Deuteronomy 33:8,9. 2. He must not go in to any dead body, Leviticus 21:11. If any of the inferior priests were under a ceremonial pollution, there were other priests that might supply their places but, if the high priest were defiled, there would be a greater want of him. And the forbidding of him to go to any house of mourning, or attend any funeral, would be an indication to the people of the greatness of that dignity to which he was advanced. Our Lord Jesus, the great high priest of our profession, touched the dead body of Jairus's daughter, the bier of the widow's son, and the grave of Lazarus, to show that he came to altar the property of death, and to take off the terror of it, by breaking the power of it. Now that it cannot destroy it does not defile. 3. He must not go out of the sanctuary (Leviticus 21:12) that is, whenever he was attending or officiating in the sanctuary, where usually he tarried in his own apartment all day, he must not go out upon any occasion whatsoever, nor cut short his attendance on the living God, no, not to pay his last respects to a dying relation. It was a profanation of the sanctuary to leave it, while his presence was requisite there, upon any such occasion for thereby he preferred some other business before the service of God and the business of his profession, to which he ought to make every thing else give place. Thus our Lord Jesus would not leave off preaching to speak with his mother and brethren, Matthew 12:48.
II. He might not marry a widow (as other priests might), much less one divorced, or a harlot, Leviticus 21:13,14. The reason of this was to put a difference between him and other priests in this matter and (as some suggest) that he might be a type of Christ, to whom the church was to be presented a chaste virgin, 2 Corinthians 11:2. See Ezekiel 44:22. Christ must have our first love, our pure love, our entire love thus the virgins love thee (Song of Song of Solomon 1:3), and such only are fit to follow the Lamb, Revelation 14:4.
III. He might not profane his seed among his people, Leviticus 21:15. Some understand it as forbidding him to marry any of an inferior rank, which would be a disparagement to his family. Jehoiada indeed married of his own tribe, but then it was into the royal family, 2 Chronicles 22:11. This was not to teach him to be proud, but to teach him to be pure, and to do nothing unbecoming his office and the worthy name by which he was called. Or it may be a caution to him in disposing of his children he must not profane his seed by marrying them unsuitably. Ministers' children are profaned if they be unequally yoked with unbelievers.

A: USA Hockey uses the 4-ounce blue puck at 8U in order to allow these young players to develop proper technique in passing, shooting and stickhandling.
At this age, teaching proper technique through the use of age-appropriate equipment is critical to skill development. Lighter-weight blue pucks, along with the correct stick, help players build confidence and avoid frustration by being able to lift the puck, score goals, complete firm tape-to-tape passes, etc. The blue puck allows players to perform basic puck control skills through a proper range of motion.
One of the highlights for any young hockey player is learning to lift the puck when shooting. With the heavier black puck, young players tend to try and flip it so that it will rise off the ice. This circumvents learning the correct shooting technique. The blue puck is at a weight that encourages good shooting technique while allowing the player to successfully raise it off the ice.
