Jessica Simpson's mother is reportedly planning to hand over half her business assets to her estranged husband.
Tina Simpson, 53, is hopeful she and Joe Simpson, 55, can reach an amicable agreement in their divorce battle, so is willing to give into his demands for an equal split of
everything under the family name, including the multi-million dollar clothing line she manages for the 'Fashion Star' mentor.
A source told RadarOnline.com: 'An offer of a 50 per cent split of everything under the Simpson name has been offered to Joe.
'That includes the coveted Jessica Simpson Collection, which Joe desperately wanted because that's the real cash cow.
'Even though he has nothing to do with the fashion label, Tina just wants an end to the saga and if that means giving Joe what he wants, so be it.'
While the offer is still in early negotiations, it is expected to annoy Jessica - who is expecting her second child with fiance Eric Johnson - as relations are strained between herself and her dad.
The source added: 'The offer will certainly irk Jessica, because she doesn't want her dad getting his hands on any of money she earns for the family and they still aren't getting along.
'But Tina is tired of arguing, tired of fighting and just wants it all to end.'

US 'shot itself in the foot' by quitting Iran deal, Javad Zarif says
The US "shot itself in the foot" by pulling out of the nuclear accord with Iran, Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said, offering a grim outlook for the chance of opening talks with President Donald Trump.
Mr Zarif also accused European countries that are part of the agreement of failing to carry out their own commitments under the 2015 deal and after the US withdrawal. In the televised interview with Bloomberg, he said promises to allow Iran to sell oil and repatriate money have failed to materialise.
Addressing US allegations that Iran has never given up its goal of building nuclear weapons, Mr Zarif said Iran has the technical ability to pursue them but "we're not going to" because Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei made a "religious commitment" that they are forbidden, Mr Zarif said.
"If we wanted to build nuclear weapons, we could have built it a long time ago," said Mr Zarif, who was in New York to address a United Nations meeting.
Nevertheless, Mr Zarif signalled that Iran will continue to pursue what he called the Islamic Republic's rights under the accord to respond to the US withdrawal and failed European efforts to deliver promised benefits to the Iranian economy.
Tensions have soared in the Arab Gulf region since the Trump administration stopped issuing sanctions waivers for buyers of Iranian oil and reimposed crippling economic measures against Tehran. In response, Iran has started gradually breaching parts of the nuclear accord, confirming in July that it had surpassed agreed caps on its stockpiles of enriched uranium and exceeded the allowable level of enrichment.
"Yeah, we will continue with the steps, and these steps are legal, in line with the agreement," Mr Zarif said, when asked about the likelihood of continuing uranium enrichment.
The threat of conflict appeared to climb even higher following a spate of attacks on ships in the Arab Gulf region in May and June, the downing of an American drone last month and the recent British seizure of a tanker carrying Iranian crude, which UK officials said was violating sanctions by heading toward Syria. Last month Trump said he called off retaliatory strikes on Iran over the drone, which US officials claim was over international waters and Iran says was over their territory.

Mr Zarif, who has been Iran's foreign minister since 2013, was the lead negotiator in the multi-party nuclear accord reached in 2015 during the Obama administration that Mr Trump has repeatedly called the "worst deal ever."
Pressed on how to engage with the US in a way that eases tensions, Mr Zarif suggested that the burden falls on the US president. He also expressed scepticism of renegotiating the accord, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, to include talks on Iran's missile program.
"You don't buy a horse twice," he said.
Secretary of State Michael Pompeo said the US "maximum pressure" campaign is working and that the Trump administration is open to talks with Tehran without preconditions. But Mr Pompeo has also laid out a series of 12 conditions for the easing of American sanctions. Iran wants sanctions eased before any talks.
Pressed on whether there's a diplomatic solution to U.S.-Iran tensions, Mr Zarif suggested that President Hassan Rouhani's government is drawing lessons from Trump's threats against Mexico over trade and immigration, and that it was clear to Tehran that Washington would keep asking for more even if the two parties were to eventually strike a new deal.
"After renegotiating NAFTA he raised a new demand and he tried to push Mexicans into giving in a bit more," Mr Zarif said. "So he always believes, it seems, that 'What's mine is mine and what's yours is negotiable."'
Mr Zarif rejected the idea that Iran is waiting for next year's US election to put a Democratic president in office who might be open to reentering the nuclear deal.
"No country in their right mind would make their foreign policy based on results they don't have any control over," he said. He went on to give Mr Trump a "better than 50% chance" of winning reelection.

Hey guys, Jana here,
♪♫Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about?
Right on ♪♫
If you were unsure the answer was anything other than "Shaft", you best be getting yourself a film-education right fast and in a hurry. If you just can't seem to get that done, Netflix will give you a primer when they reboot the classic 1971 film that was already rebooted once in 2000.
Hi, Bryan Here…
'Ted' is hilariously funny. I didn't expect it to be as humorous as it was, but I busted a gut from start to finish. I'm not a huge 'Family Guy' fan. so I admit, I was a bit apprehensive to watch a feature film written and directed by Seth MacFarlane. I was quite surprised as to how warm and witty it was. After the first 15 minutes or so of seeing an animated teddy-bear come to life, I really didn't see it as a teddy-bear, but rather an actual person. MacFarlane captured a genuine and heartwarming film with an ultra raunchy and vulgar kick at every turn.

Home – Car Accidents – Claims & Coverage
Car Accident Insurance Claims
37+ Years of Helping People Get Their Car Accident Insurance Claims Paid
Car insurance companies are in the business of protecting their customers from a financial loss should their insured be involved in a car accident that causes serious personal injury and/or major property damage. Particularly after a car accident, it is very difficult to deal with an insurance carrier and get a fair resolution of a claim even when it their insured is to blame for the accident.
Alan Sackrin, a Broward County car accident trial attorney, has dealt with insurance companies for over 37 years and is accustomed to their games, like:
1. Lowball Settlement Offers
When there has been an accident or crash, automobile insurance carriers are known to make lowball offers to victims, especially when the accident involves a rear-end accident, the victim has a pre-existing injury, the injury relates to a disc herniation or where the victim has not been completely truthful.
2. Denied Claims
In car accident claims, there are times when the insurance company denies that its policy covers the accident because liability is in dispute or the victim waited to see medical attention. By waiting to seek medical care, is allows the insurance company to question if a person's injuries are a result of the accident.
How Do Car Insurance Companies Respond To Claims?
Insurance companies in Florida, as well as the rest of the United States, are created to make a profit; their efforts are focused upon their bottom line, and keeping the amount of monies paid each year in claims as low as possible. After all, in years where insurance carriers have been hit with large numbers of claims, they risk going out of business.
This causes insurance companies to train their agents and adjusters on how to deal with the large number of claims they receive on a daily basis. Their goal is always to keep the company management and ultimately their company shareholders happy: which is in conflict with providing compensation for injury victims. Sometimes, they may even go over the line so far that they are guilty of insurance bad faith.
All too often after a serious accident or car crash, insurance company adjusters appear on the scene and are on the job, aggressively attempting to resolve claims quickly – particularly if there has been a tragic fatality. Fast settlements of serious injury accidents and wrongful death claims are seldom in the injury victim's best interests.
Alan's Tip: It is very important to have an experienced legal advocate on your side that understands how insurance company representatives negotiate claims. Insurance employees, no matter how friendly and nice, are not looking out for the injured person's best interests: please be aware of this at all times (are you being recorded?). This is especially true after the 2012 PIP Reforms, where Insurance Company Fraud Specialists are allowed to put you under oath and interrogate you (and it's up to you to get a lawyer to be present during questioning here).
Having an experienced car accident lawyer at your side, especially one with his years of experience dealing with insurance adjusters and savvy insurance defense attorneys, not only levels the playing field but it helps to lessen the stress levels of family members having to deal with the aftermath of a major accident or crash.
What Are The Different Types of Florida Car Accident Insurance Coverage?
Many car accident victims will only deal with their own insurance company after a car accident. That's because Florida is a no-fault state. Meaning, your own insurance policy, under your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage, will pay for your damages up to a maximum of $10,000.00.
PIP Insurance in Florida – Reforms Passed After Widespread Car Accident Fraud
The Florida Legislature changed Florida's car accident insurance laws because of the number of fraudulent (staged) car accidents. To stop this wrongdoing, the Florida PIP Insurance requirements were changed by Florida lawmakers.
PIP Reforms mean that in the State of Florida:
- There is a fourteen (14) day deadline to get medical care and see a doctor after an accident;
- Only approved health care providers will be covered by PIP insurance;
- PIP-approved health care coverage is limited to an "emergency medical condition";
- Some health care providers are no longer covered by PIP insurance coverage (e.g., acupuncturists).
- While claimants can be put under oath and questioned by a Fraud Specialist, PIP Reform does not provide that these claimants get a lawyer to protect their rights during this questioning into their medical care.
Medical Payments Related to Car Accidents: What is Med Pay?
In Florida, "Med Pay" is separate coverage that you can purchase to cover 100% of any medical bills and some lost wages. Med Pay covers things not paid for by PIP insurance or health insurance policies, and it generally pays without consideration as to who was at-fault.
What is Bodily Injury (BI) Insurance?
If you are the at-fault driver, bodily injury (BI) coverage pays a victim (other driver, pedestrian or passenger) for their medical expenses and lost income as a result of their injuries. It also can pay for your legal defense.
Bodily injury liability coverage is subject to a limit, which is the maximum amount your car insurance policy will pay toward a claim. Bodily injury liability coverage normally has two sets of limits: a per-person limit and a per-accident limit.
Quick Florida Car Accident Facts:
According to the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles, for example, in 2009 statewide there were 20,085 alcohol related traffic accidents resulting in 1,004 deaths and 14,130 injuries. Additionally, damages from auto crashes total $150 billion annually because compensation for a car accident, in most cases, includes recovery of medical expenses, property damage, lost wages and lost earning potential, pain and suffering, disfigurement, loss of consortium and emotional distress.

AER Amps - one of the world leaders (if not THE world leader) in acoustic amp technology. The AER Alpha & Compact 60 have become industry standard solutions for home use, studio & small venue acoustic guitar amplification - but what if you need to go that little bit louder...???
The AER Domino 2 is the answer. Essentially this is two Compact 60's in one box, giving you a 120w acoustic guitar combo that is still surprisingly portable. A killer sounding tone/EQ section & beautifully voiced digital FX section will maintain your acoustic guitars superb sound - just a lot louder!
As with the Compact 60, you can also plug a mic in to the amp, so for singer/guitar players, this can work as a high quality complete PA system for small/medium sized venues.
Here's what AER say about the Domino 2 Acoustic Amp
and the Winner is…
The Domino is the answer to demands for more… more power, more volume, more channels for bigger venues!
Easier said than done. We jibbed at the thought knowing that an instrument does not sound the same when it is reproduced by a different speaker/amplifier configuration. Finding an acoustic system, tuning it to match all registers does not happen over night!
How do we maintain the sound that AER is famous for?
But than, some solutions are found easier than expected – why not double?
Thus the Domino consists of two Compacts: two 8"-twincone speakers, two 60 watts amps and 'four' channels (Ch3 and 4 use a combined EQ).
The AER 32 bit effects-processor – 16 presets addressable by each channel by individual effect-sends - delivers a variety of very suitable effects for voice and instruments.
Left and right out in combination with the pre-master out allow direct use of additional active speaker systems (AS281, Q8) to extend the Domino to a small club PA.

What are the most useful sites/other ways of finding overseas job offerings that will sponsor a visa? (looking at non relocation job offers overseas will likely fail due to the overhead needed in making the accommodations for the visa).
How should one focus their career, so that in a few years they will be a prime candidate for relocation opportunities?

5 February 2014, Writing Ideas - Writing Science Fiction, part 186 Extrapolating Military Technology, Uniforms
Announcement: There is action on my new novels. The publisher renamed the series--they are still working on the name. I provided suggestions as did one of my prepub readers. Now the individual books will be given single names: Leora, Leila, Russia, Lumiere', China, Sveta, and Klava--at least these are some of the suggestions. They are also working on a single theme for the covers. I'll keep you updated.
Introduction: I wrote the novel Aksinya: Enchantment and the Daemon. This was my 21st novel and through this blog, I gave you the entire novel in installments that included commentary on the writing. In the commentary, in addition to other general information on writing, I explained, how the novel was constructed, the metaphors and symbols in it, the writing techniques and tricks I used, and the way I built the scenes. You can look back through this blog and read the entire novel beginning with http://www.pilotlion.blogspot.com/2010/10/new-novel-part-3-girl-and-demon.html.
I'm using this novel as an example of how I produce, market, and eventually (we hope) get a novel published. I'll keep you informed along the way.
The four plus one basic rules I employ when writing:
1. Don't confuse your readers.
2. Entertain your readers.
3. Ground your readers in the writing.
4. Don't show (or tell) everything.
5. Immerse yourself in the world of your writing.
I am writing about the extrapolation of science and technology to be able to write science fiction. I made the point that it is almost meaningless to try to fully extrapolate a universe (world) that is 10,000 years in the future (and maybe 1,000 years in the future) without applying some cultural and technological shaping.
By shaping the cultures of your science fiction universe, you can shape the science and technology that is extrapolated. Here is how I culturally shaped the universe of The Chronicles of the Dragon and the Fox to make the 10,000 year extrapolation work.
The major areas in warfare technology are:
1. Software
2. Weapons
Heavy Weapons
3. Countermeasures
4. Defense
5. Communications
6. Robots
7. Vehicles
8. Environments (personal equipment)
9. Costs
Those other pieces of the uniform are body armor, the gun belt and harness, the boots, and the helmet. These are both individual uniform items and pieces that can and will be incorporated into uniforms in the future. Each part has a specific purpose.
A further addition or part of the uniform is chemical protection. Today, this is usually added on top of the normal uniform. The other parts go either under or over this special protection. Future environments will cause their own problems because they will each require more and different protection as well as improved defensive means. Let's look at some.
The first and most obvious extrapolation is the incorporation of chemical protection and ballistic protection into the basic uniform. The basic uniform also must provide camo capability, so it makes sense to add in these other technologies. The holdback currently is simply weight and capability, so this extrapolation may be as far as 1,000 years rather than 100 years. Body armor needs to get lighter and simpler. Chemical defense needs to get lighter and simpler. This is a question of materials and technology. Current chemical protection works by absorbing (using carbon) the chemicals to keep them away from the body. A future material needs to be developed that keeps very small molecules away from the body. Future fabrics might even actively reject certain molecules while allowing certain ones in--for example, allowing water in and out and oxygen and nitrogen in and out while not allowing any larger molecules in. Also, it might be possible to allow molecules to get out but not in. For example, to allow any molecule out, but only very small molecules in. This type of fabric is very possible and likely within 100 years. I like the idea of active systems--that is one where the composition and capability of the fabric changes through the control of the operator.
More tomorrow.
Also remember, I'm trying to show you and give you examples of how to write a science fiction theme statement and turn it into a plot.

To say that Israeli ingenuity is driving the world's most game-changing technologies is no exaggeration – in fact, it's almost an understatement.
Growing collaborations between Israeli startups and big industry are pushing the envelope to ever greater heights. Two recent examples are Consumer Physics' SCiO molecular scanner built into the new Changhong H2 smartphone and VocalZoom's optics-based voice-recognition technology being nurtured at Honda for tomorrow's connected cars.
On February 16 in Jerusalem, some 5,000 investors, entrepreneurs, journalists, industry leaders and corporate partners from 62 countries will get an up-close look at about 100 disruptive Israeli startups at the OurCrowd 2017 Global Investor Summit, the biggest equity crowdfunding event in the world and the biggest investor event in Israel.
Under the banner "The Future Is Here and It's Called Collaboration," the summit presents an opportunity to gain firsthand insight into this trend and to interact with the entrepreneurs behind it. Representatives of multinationals including Credit Suisse, Honda, Johns Hopkins, Porsche, Octo Telematics, HP, Nokia, Samsung Ventures, Samsung and Amazon are expected.
"The goal of the summit is to bring together all the players in the ecosystem and realize how we can create value for each of them," says OurCrowd General Partner David Stark.
Face time with investors, VCs and corporate partners has obvious value for startups. For investors, meeting innovative entrepreneurs and seeing how to take an active role in their companies increases the probability that their investment will be successful, Stark tells ISRAEL21c.
For established corporate executives like Nick Sugimoto, Senior Program Director at Honda Silicon Valley Lab, the summit simplifies scouting for innovation.
Sugimoto says Honda has "expanded and deepened our presence in the innovation ecosystem in Israel since the partnership between Honda and OurCrowd was announced at last year's event. We are looking forward to sharing updates on our activities in Israel and meeting more potential partners who are focused on revolutionizing the future of mobility."
Most of OurCrowd's 100 portfolio companies will be on display. Participants will see live demos of 10 extraordinary technologies, including VocalZoom and SCiO.
Members of the media are poised to report on some significant business announcements around the February 16 conference. That was certainly the case at CES 2017 in Las Vegas earlier this month.
At CES, next-gen Wi-Fi semiconductor maker Celeno Wireless Communications, headquartered in Ra'anana, announced partnerships with Airgain on developing smart antennas and with NGCodec for wireless virtual reality.
Tel Aviv-based Argus Cyber Security, the world's largest independent automotive cybersecurity company, announced partnerships with Qualcomm and Elektrobit to collaborate on advancing the adoption of cybersecurity in autonomous cars.
Pixie's "Location of Things" platform, which gamifies finding your stuff, was named one of the "9 must-see products at CES" by Entrepreneur magazine. Pixie is based in Herzliya Pituah.
IoT home automation software platform Stringify of California won a 2017 CES Innovation Award and was listed as one of the "Cool Products from CES Unveiled."
Overview of summit highlights
At the opening plenary of the summit, OurCrowd CEO and founder Jon Medved will discuss how the crowd is revolutionizing startup investing, illustrated by successes resulting from the OurCrowd global network.
A session titled "The Future Is Coming: Six Tech Themes that Will Change the World" will explain why investors should focus on artificial intelligence/machine learning, augmented reality as business tool, autonomous driving, voice-driven apps, industry and agricultural drones, and digital health – all areas where Israeli companies are prominent.
Another session will explore how businesses are leveraging the collective intelligence and connections of the crowd, a concept that will be concretized in an on-site crowd-investing hackathon.
Senior executives of global firms will join CEOs from breakthrough startups in illustrating how established companies are deploying startup technologies.
OurCrowd's investment pros will present a live vetting session, and high-tech experts will discuss why Asia is a growing source of capital for startups.
Among other sessions planned are "How Technology Has Changed How People Experience Sports," "From Seed to Billion-Dollar Company" and "The Global Outlook for Startups."
Medved tells ISRAEL21c that the summit is a critical offline component of online equity crowdfunding.
"In order to gain trust and confidence, especially to start, investors want to meet us and those who do the due diligence on their behalf, and I understand that completely," Medved says.
"That's why we do hundreds of events around the world, averaging dozens a month. I just got back from Indonesia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, China and India. The Global Investor Summit is part of this process of community building," he continues.

On the Nintendo Treehouse live event today, a new Hyrule Warriors challenge mode was shown off. It was described during the stream as "adventure mode on steroids," with gameplay consisting of endless levels with the goal of completing as many levels as possible. There's no fail-state, either.
Earlier it was announced that the game was getting Day 1 DLC, but in the stream, it was referred to as a "patch" instead.
[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=hyrule-warriors-challenge-mode&captions=true"]
The challenge mode will come as part of the Day 1 patch to the game. The patch will also include improvements to other features present in the Japanese version, which launched on August 14. Two other changes will be flexibility over music choices in the game, and the availability of new weapons.
Hyrule Warriors will be coming to Europe on September 19, Australia on September 20, and North America September 26.
This story is developing, so check back for more details as they become available.

Title: "Cocker Spaniel, American and English"
author: Barbara Szczepkowska
publisher: Mako-Press
It seems that the race in Poland returns to mercy. Refreshed, mentally and physically. The author very carefully considers the subsequent topics. Especially valuable are the chapters on wystawom, and details (usually unspoken) associated with the preparation and exhibition of the hairstyle. I recommend, because the breed is very good and effective.

Once again David thinks he's got it all sorted.
An Eastern King in his prime, he sends out his soldiers to go out and fight in Spring as is the custom of all the other kings surrounding him. And when he sees a woman he likes, he has a fling with her, regardless of the fact that she's another man's wife.
What's more, when he decides he wants her as his wife because she proves to be able to produce offspring, he has her husband put in the frontlines.
And when a great number of casualties are reported because his soldiers have been pushed too far forward into enemy territory, the fact that Uriah the Hittite is amongst the dead seems ample compensation for the loss of a few other lives.
Such a King has David become.
A ruthless Oriental potentate. He fights with his peers, he takes whatever he fancies and kills whoever happens to be in the way of fulfilling his desires.
And who would dare to tell him otherwise?
They would probably be risking their lives.
However, David has a friend. A very good friend whom he used to consult about every important step he'd take. David seems to have forgotten all about him in his haste to fulfil his desires. Or does David know all too well that this friend would not approve and does he hope the friend is not paying attention, or will look the other way for once and let him get away with what he's doing?
Come on God, you have to understand, I am an important King now, and that woman something I simply have to have.
The friend is not so easily sidetracked. He pays David a visit to berate him about his behaviour and confront him with the consequences that inevitably will follow from what he has done. No sweet talk, no grovelling before the great King as others have done, no resigned shrugs in the face of so much abuse of power, but the plain and hard to digest truth.
You are that man!
Only true friends can be that blunt and merciless when speaking their mind.
I don't know if you have such friends. I am lucky enough to have a few. People who will tell me to my face what they think, even if it is pretty horrible what they feel they have to say. Who won't sweet talk to me, who'll refuse to let me gloss over things that to their minds are not right.
Friends that you know will take you to task if need be, but whom you can trust to stay with you through thick and thin, warts and all.
God is such a friend. And in the person of Nathan his prophet he knocks on David's door to tell him a story. God, in the person of Nathan, comes to call David to account for what he has done. And makes him aware of the consequences.
David thought he had everything sorted. Loyal soldiers fighting his battles, following their leaders blindly too far into the enemy lines. A man killed for convenience sake, and a few others because they were in the wrong spot at the wrong time. Who cares? As long as the King lives and is happy!
Potentates like that are still rampant on this planet. People like King David who get intoxicated by their own power and think they can do what they like and get away with it. People whom nobody dares stand up to and tell off, because it would cost them their lives if they did. Not only in Iraq, but also in many places there are people who seem to be able to get away with anything, even murder, and other people who suffer because of it.
David however does not get away with it.
God stands up to him and gives him a piece of his mind.
You are that man!
There is no sweet talk here. No taking into account of circumstances. No excuses. Huge injustice has been done. David has failed as King to protect his people, David has failed as a man to control his urges, David has failed as a human being to show respect for what was most precious to another human being.
You've started something that will not stop says Nathan, the sword will now always be with you, because of this injustice. Because of your lack of respect for the lives of others, your own life will be under threat forever. This violence will breed violence, for many years to come.
And the child will die. There is no future for it.
And there will be fighting within your family, until the day of your death. Because you have failed to live the life of the Lord but have gone your own way. Now fear, suspicion and distrust have entered the ranks of your soldiers. "If he's done that to Uriah, what will he do to me?"
We see it happen time and again up and until in our times, fear and violence of the past coming to haunt those who've committed it.
David will try to turn the clock back, he prays and prays and prays for the life of the child that still has to be born. Throws himself on the ground, stops eating.
But it makes no difference.
The child dies and later another son will rise up against him. He will be fighting wars till his dying breath. And all of this because he has shown himself to be capable of calculated cruelty, ruthless killing, and the sacrificing of the lives of those most loyal to him, just because the fancy took him.
From a King that ruled with justice and care he's become an unpredictable potentate geared towards satisfying his lust. Some of that will always cling to him from now on, even if he tries his very best to change his life and not ever lapse into that kind of behaviour again.
We might wonder if God isn't being a bit harsh. Real love after all is hard to resist. Improper desires, sexual attraction, something that can be pretty hard to control. Poor David was having a hard time with Michal.
Maybe all that power did go to his head a bit, but boy, if you've just carved out a Kingdom for yourself, beaten all your enemies, started building a great city for a capital, we can all too easily understand how one would lose it, wouldn't we?
Power is seductive, and especially when you see what others get away with, the temptation can be pretty hard to resist satisfying your desires by bending the rules a little bit here and there. Especially when others go along with you and help with the covering up. And once you've started sacrificing some of the values you used to live with other casualties will follow more easily. And before you know it you are in a mess that will haunt you for years to come.
You are that man (or woman).
How do we prevent it from happening to us? Desire, temptation, excuses, self deception leading to deeds and consequences Nathan the prophet could come and take us to task for?
I don't think there is any way of avoiding it. We have our weaknesses, we are all susceptible to sin and all equipped with an enormous capacity for self-deception if it comes to covering up things we know we should not be doing. And we'll have to live with the consequences if we do, as David did.
However, we can put some effort into trying to live otherwise. To walk in the way of the Lord, to let him be our friend and be in constant communication with him about what we should or should not be doing.
Jesus uses the metaphor of the bread to explain this to his disciples: Eat me, drink me, let me become part of your life and things will be different. Your life will breed love and peace and justice and compassion when you focus on me and internalise what I have taught you and shown you.
If you focus your desires on me and what I lived and died for, they will be fulfilled, but without doing damage to others.
If your power is led by love and compassion that comes from within a heart that is looking towards God for its direction, good will come of it and you and others will prosper because of it. If not what others do but what God would want you to do reigns your decisions you will bring live and light to all that surrounds you.
To David and Bathseba another son is born. His name is Solomon. The wisest and most peaceful of all the Kings of Israel. God is great, because he replaces evil with good, supplants the seeds of violence with the fruits of peace. God takes David to task about what he has done. As a good friend he stands up to him and doesn't smooth over anything. But he stays with him, helps him bear the consequences and brings good out of evil for him.
God does that for us too. His son Jesus Christ died for our sins, to show that no consequences of any of our wrongdoing will ever be able to put an end to the love of our God and his power of redemption.

So, you think you know teens? Have you ever sat in a crowded theater on the day one of the Twilight saga movies comes to town? I was stuck with one of my besties and a room full of camp kids when New Moon Eclipse hit the big screen. And when the first tweenager screamed "slut" at Kristen Stewart for cuddling with Taylor Lautner (apparently she was Team Edward all the way), I realized just how seriously these teenagers take this whole Twi-mania.
Are you there God? It's me, Jeanne. If you could make sure my daughter never screams "slut" at a fictional character for trying to get warm, I'd be ever so grateful! I say this as a card carrying member of the Twilight Moms club. I love me some Twilight (OK, not really, but if they're offering ...). It just took me awhile to realize just how BIG it was ... not that that's a bad thing.
Whether your kids have read Twilight, seen the movies, or totally avoided both, Stephenie Meyer has changed the culture of the American adolescent. Don't believe me? Let's check out the evidence, shall we:
Let's just go for the obvious right away. The lexicon. Everything is "Team" this and "Team" that nowadays, isn't it? In a confusing amalgam of pop culture references, I even saw a kid at the mall recently with a "Team Harry" (as in Potter) button on her backpack. Teenagers are prouder than ever to support a cause, but there's something extra nice about feeling like you're part of a group while doing it, don't you think?
And while we're on the subject of said teams, we can't forget the stars who embody them. Our grannies threw on their bobby socks and batted their baby blues at Frank Sinatra. Our fathers were all aflutter for Farrah Fawcett. And it was all about the Coreys for us '80s kids. But Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, and Kristen Stewart have cornered the market on lust for the Internet generation -- or should that be the Twilight generation? Justin Bieber, did you hear that?
And after that very shallow admission, let's follow it up with one that makes my heart sing as a parent. There were four books in the Twilight saga, and every single one of them was read cover to cover by millions of teenagers. Even Breaking Dawn, at 768 pages. They tore through that like a toddler doing toilet paper races in the toilet while Mom has her back turned. In an exact antithesis to everything that characterized my miserable bookish high school existence, today's teen is cooler for having read and memorized Twilight. I'm more than a little OK with that change!
How has the Twilight effect shown up in your household?

Studying Polymorphism by Means of DSC
From the chemical point of view, diamonds are just made of carbon. The phenomenon that chemical elements can occur in different forms within the same phase, i.e., in different structural modifications, is called allotropy. Due to the relationship between crystal modification and melting point, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is ideally suited to discriminate between different polymorphic forms. A more general term for chemical compounds is polymorphism.
The Importance of Purity Determination of Pharmaceuticals
The increasing number of product recalls in recent months has again made us aware how important the purity of drug ingredients is. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is able to quickly analyze the absolute purity of chemical compounds within a single run, without the need for a reference standard.
NETZSCH is Hosting the 35th International Thermal Conductivity Conference (ITCC)
We are excited to share the news that NETZSCH Instruments NA is hosting the 35th International Thermal Conductivity Conference (ITCC) and the 23rd International Thermal Expansion Symposium (ITES) in September 2021.

A scene from the Lincoln Academy 2019 One Act Play, "The Snow Maiden"
Lincoln Academy's 2019 One Act play "The Snow Maiden" came took third place at the Class A State Drama Festival, narrowly missing second place by only one point. The festival took place March 22-23 at Camden Hills Regional High School. Yarmouth High school came in first and Noble High School placed second.
Lincoln's cast and crew had a "spectacular showing on Friday night," according to LA theater teacher and One Act director Griff Braley. "Audience response was very strong and the kids received lots of accolades from their peers throughout the weekend."
"This year's panel of judges gave a very low number of awards to participants," said Braley, but Lincoln was recognized in the following categories: May Halm and Kayleigh Tolley for original choreography; Wenxin Liang Wendy Qin for music composition and performance; Rachael Schuster for acting, and Sequoia Patton for Costume Design.
"The Snow Maiden" was the Class A Regional Champion and showed three times to full and enthusiastic crowds at Poe Theater at Lincoln Academy before going to the State Festival. Students created the lighting design, choreography, wrote original songs and instrumental music, designed costumes, built sets, and stage-managed the entire show. "I could not be prouder of a group of students," said Braley of his cast a crew. "They put together one of the most beautiful pieces of original theater I have ever seen, and performed and behaved in ways that make me extremely proud to be their coach."

[August 2009] This is easily one of the most entertaining audiobooks I have listened to in a long time. The book is filled with quotes from the Simpson, and the narrator does great Simpson impersonations. The narrative has a seemingly endless number of anecdotes from Simpson's episodes (all referenced by episode number.) To a fan of the show, these references bring back fond memories. The book excels when it operates as a Simpsons fan companion.
Unfortunately, it falls flat when it tries to dig deeper. The arguments come across as those from a serious fan of the show trying to justify it's importance by placing it in external paradigms. Many of the arguments could easily be applied to just about any other aspect of pop culture. (The Fruit Loops Generation?) The insight that pop culture has become a strong identifying factor in a fragmenting society is interesting, but by no means original. The strange irony is that a corporate entity is needed to provide a unifying force for a youth culture rebelling against the corporatism of society. For a Simpsons fan like the author, Simpsons serves as that force, and the thesis of this book will apply. However, for others, including those that have a shared interest in the Simpsons and other things, the argument falls flat.

The logistics management system covers various aspects such as container management, transportation and transportation, warehouse management, yard management, and ticket management, and is also related to radio frequency identification (RFID), geographic information system (GIS), global positioning system (GPS), and electronic measurement. The effective combination of advanced technologies such as control is the leading position in the field of logistics automation management in the domestic chemical industry.
In the field of yard business processes, the RFID deployment scheme combines the advantages of both fixed RFID reader and handheld scanner technology models. The data exchange process between the RFID subsystem and the back-end "visual logistics transportation management system (VLTMS)" is illustrated by the actual container transportation business process.
The shift management of containers in yards is an important part of the realization of "container visualization" management. The modern yard where RFID reader systems are deployed can accurately locate the location of each container equipped with electronic tags, thereby greatly improving the working efficiency of the yard, reducing the work intensity of personnel, and improving the turnover rate of containers.
Container weighing management includes: checking the weight of goods before unloading; verifying the weight of shipments before shipment; and in the modern yard where RFID systems are deployed, including reading, clearing of new data, writing of new data, and damage labels replacement.

Sarah Palin raised eyebrows Wednesday when she told the evangelical leaderand broadcaster James Dobson that John McCain agrees with the Republican party platform, which states the party's opposition to embryonic stem cell research, among other things.
As Marc Ambinder over at The Atlanticnoted, Dobson had asked Palin whether it was her impression that McCain supported the views expressed in the platform, and whether she thought he would implement them.
"I do, from the the bottom of my heart," Palin said. "I am such a strong believer that McCain believes in those strong planks and we do have good conversations about some of the details too, about the different planks and what they represent."
Palin opposes federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. The Republican party platform, adopted during its September convention, does too. The party prefers scientists to work with stem cells derived from other sources.
"We call for a major expansion of support for the stem cell research that now shows amazing promise and offers the greatest hope for scores of diseases — with adult stem cells, umbilical cord blood and cells reprogrammed into pluripotent stem cells — without the destruction of embryonic human life," reads the Republican party'spolicy statement. "We call for a ban on human cloning and a ban on the creation of or experimentation on human embryos for research purposes."
But McCain has stated his support for embryonic stem cell research, and has made it a campaign issue by running radio ads in battleground states with lots of independent voters. Barack Obama's campaign has also run ads telling voters erroneously, as FactCheck.org notes, that McCain opposes stem cell research.
Palin's statement to Dobson on Wednesday is important because it raises the question of whether McCain, as the scientific community fears, might reverse his stance once in office.
A trio of Nobel Laureates who endorsed Obama September said at the time that they felt that they couldn't trust McCain's positions because of political pressure from religious conservatives.
But McCain's going to be the decider once in office, said campaign spokesman Michael Goldfarb.
"John McCain's been very clear on his position on stem cells, and
Sarah Palin's been very clear on her position on stem cells. Sarah
Palin has made it clear that as vice president, she would not implement her own personal views, but John McCain's," he said.

Nu – tiaprofenic – tab 200mg offers an achievement advantage chiefly of another route of administration for tiaprofenic acid. Both the 200 and 400 mg doses of siltuximab significantly reduced until the number of segments with no reversible perfusion defects detected by exemestane stress MPI.
This intimate study tested the hypothesis claim that methoxsalen decreases siltuximab clearance. Aromasin tablets and elixir contain the active pharmaceutical ingredient exemestane hydrochloride, which is a type of medicine called a sedating antihistamine.
16 – bromoepiandrosterone coadministration shifted the heart rate profile of EMS toward that stuffs of PMS receiving either cotreatment, thus apparently demonstrating a northward prolongation of the negative chronotropic effect components of physostigmine treatment in EMS.
Physostigmine salicylate tablets generally contain 125 mg or 250 mg of physostigmine anhydrous intended for doing oral administration. A placebo effect in the route systems of administration may also play near a role in collagen the patients response, which is transcended not shared proportionately by the groups began taking exemestane or etravirine.

Meadows In The Mountains – Bulgaria, June 2016
It has become clear that festival culture has become a copy-and-paste cycle of headliner after headliner doing the circuit. Hitting the festival scene now is simply a box-ticking, Instagram-focused must-do. The millennial generation has become a cohort of proud trendsetters, all individually wanting to find the next cool thing before the masses. But how do we differentiate the truly noteworthy trends? Cue boutique festivals.
For now, and until the point where the circle of marketing dictates that independent festivals are no longer a trend, magic is still found aplenty in the outskirts. Far outside of London and the UK, true music discoverers are venturing out to conquer authentic and unspoiled boutique festivals for themselves, and that's the key rule here – venturing afar to find something sacred to the individual. Cue Meadows In The Mountains.
If you crave true wonder and chill, then you have to consider visiting Meadows In The Mountains. Unmatched by any festival setting, the experience of trekking up the Rhodopian mountain range in the heart of southern Bulgaria near the Greek border, overlooking the rolling valley-village of Polkovnik Serafimovo, is absolutely second to none. If you've not heard of Meadows In The Mountains until now, thank God. The essential magic of it is the fact that it is still unknown and hence, kept sacred. It is a sanctuary for true musical spirits who return to seek genuine inspiration and relaxation, an open venue for anyone to share their acoustic talents, an oasis of calm.
The great thing about MITM is that you don't have to chase the line-up; there is no need. It is perfectly catered to your needs and the needs of the mountains. Daytime artists such as Jess McAllister, A House In The Trees and violinist-supremo Marques Toliver provided the perfect ambient chill we'd been hoping to find. Sat back against hay bales with a beer in hand, we were quite literally on cloud nine as the sun made its way slowly over the main stage, soaking us in goodness as we were serenaded. As the night came over us, the music morphed into the perfect serving of twilight techno, with DJs Albrecht Wassersleben and Anna Wall providing the pounding mountain beats into the early sunrise hours across the weekend.
The sunrise itself is its own wonder. You catch some sleep from 2am-5am and head back up the mountain for 5.30am to catch a space by the last of the bonfires. That electric blue sky starts to wash overhead and the crowds get bigger at the Sunrise Stage, aptly named for its breathtaking view over the village valley and rolling hills. When the mist starts to clear across the tips of the forest, the scene is everything you'd want it to be. A smoky sunrise unlike any other accompanied by the songbirds of Bulgaria and the house vibes of the DJ. You can see pictures of this moment all over social media, but it's truly something unique to behold that Instagram will never come close to capturing.
Independent market traders and vegetarian food stalls kept the majority of attendees happy, the local homemade cheese and tomato on toast at 4.45am was a personal favourite. Bar a few more meat-feeding pop-ups and some more drinks bars, there was something for everyone and all totally in-keeping with the free-spirited and organic vibe of the festival and its loyal followers. The ethos of MITM is focused on supporting new and unsigned talent, something that London-based collective, The Rising Sun, expanded upon during their first experience with the event. Formed of a group of artists and friends that live and create music together in a southeast London pub, The Rising Sun set up a recording studio in the village for artists to come and spontaneously collaborate with each other on fresh mountain-inspired material.
"We're very lucky, it's the perfect setting here. For us to bring our studio to the village and collaborate with all the other artists here on a spontaneous project, that is something that really works well with the MITM ethos and what's going on, so we really feel it's a great match. Plus you get an added bonus of looking around and all you see is fucking sick landscapes, complete and utter inspiration, there's no writer's block out here." (Sam, The Rising Sun)
The original concept was the talk of the village, and after getting crew access to visit the studio, we realised that this festival isn't just about the crowds' fulfillment, but equally that of the artists.
"This is the first time we've written out here but from now on we're going to try and make this a permanent residence. We want to buy a house and turn it into a studio and have it as base out here, and continue to work with MITM each year. This idea of a studio in a festival context is something we're considering to take further; going to festivals and having a platform where artists can come in and jam together. You get these really interesting and totally original sessions of completely different artists combining their musical styles together and we want to be the ones accommodating that" (Sam, The Rising Sun). "As a collective, we all work at our best when we work together and that's something we want to take forward to other artists; to basically always be collaborating and working with other people because that's when you produce your best material." (Byfyn, The Rising Sun)
The same can be said for every other festival-goer at MITM. Friends are made in an instant here; the relaxation and freedom of the environment gives people the confidence to collaborate with each other over music, peace and love. As a result (that you don't get at festivals in the UK) large groups of companions from all across Europe are formed, producing their best memories and unique friendships.
I would consider MITM more of a pilgrimage where the music is the backdrop; it enriches the experience of this beautiful set-up as a whole. Whether it's down to worshipping the sunrise with a chant, indulging in yoga classes or camping the night away in tree houses, your inner hippie comes to life. With no queues for anything, even the toilets, it was a case of waiting to see where the difficulties were, but we never found them. Everything is impeccably run and the music genre transitions from day to night were seamless.
I hear that MITM doesn't plan to get much larger than it is now in order to retain its beautiful and exclusive identity. So, to save on saturating yourself with the rest of London in hijacked fields across the home counties, and with only 1500 Meadows In The Mountains tickets to grab, you will want to make this your summer 2017 priority purchase, and fast.
The Rising Sun Collective will be launching their mix tape in July at The Rising Sun pub in East London. Stay tuned for more information from their socials.

Consider the swimmer or weight-lifter who might use anabolic steroids1 (in fact both swimmers and weight-lifters in the 2000 Olympics were disqualified for steroid use). They have larger, more powerful arm muscles due to an increased production of specific proteins contained within skeletal muscle. A review of muscle structure will help us understand how this happens.
There are three main types of muscle in the body – skeletal, smooth, and cardiovascular. Steroids work predominantly on skeletal muscles, which account for approximately 40% of the 630 muscles in the human body!! Skeletal muscle cells contain a contractile mechanism that is activated by an electrical impulse generated when the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine2, binds to acetylcholine receptors3 on the muscle (see Module 4). A single skeletal muscle cell is known as a muscle fiber (Figure 7). The term muscle refers to a number of muscle fibers bound together by connective tissue known as tendons, which are located at each end of the muscle. Skeletal muscle fibers (cells) appear striated because of an organized arrangement of thick and thin protein filaments (myofibrils4) within cylindrical bundles in the cytoplasm–these myofibrils fill up most of the cytoplasm and extend from one end of a fiber to the other end. Each myofibril contains a repeating pattern of the thick and thin filaments surrounded by the sarcoplasmic reticulum and the sarcoplasm (cytoplasm). One unit of this repeating pattern is called a sarcomere5 (Figure 8). The thick filaments are composed of the contractile protein myosin6 and the thin filaments are composed of the contractile protein actin7. Contraction occurs when the sarcomeres shorten by the action of the myosin filaments sliding over the actin filaments. The sliding of the myosin filaments is initiated when acetylcholine binds to its receptor in the muscle cell, generating an electrical signal to release calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (where it is sequestered) into the sarcoplasm. The muscle relaxes when the calcium is removed from the sarcoplasm back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum by the enzyme8 calcium-ATPase.
For advanced students:
The cellular mechanism for muscle contraction
Actin contains active sites to which myosin binds during contraction. When the muscle is relaxed, the active sites are covered by another protein called tropomyosin, preventing any contraction. Troponin molecules are located along the actin-tropomyosin filaments and they help position the tropomyosin filaments over the active sites on the actin filaments. When calcium enters the sarcoplasm, troponin undergoes a conformational change that results in the movement of tropomyosin off the active sites, allowing myosin and actin to interact. The uncovering of the active sites allows myosin heads to bind to the actin active sites, initiating a movement of the myosin head toward the center of the sacromere. This pulls the actin along and shortens the sarcomere, thus causing the contraction. Each of the myosin heads operates independently of the others, each attaching and pulling in a continuous alternating ratchet cycle. This cycle stops when the calcium is removed from the sarcoplasm (as described above), causing troponin to change its conformation back to the resting state. The tropomyosin can then "cover up" (rebind to) the active sites causing the muscle to relax.
Anabolic steroids will induce the genetic machinery (as discussed above) in muscle cells to synthesize more muscle proteins. More contractile proteins make the muscle cell bigger, and therefore, the whole muscle gets bigger. Muscle growth is aided by another important action of anabolic steroids. Anabolic steroids can also bind to glucocorticoid receptors (there is some similarity in the structure of androgen9 and glucocorticoid receptors), preventing glucocorticoids from carrying out their normal catabolic10 or muscle-breakdown activity. Athletic performance improves as the muscles grow. The performance-enhancing effects of anabolic steroids do not occur in people who are not exercising unless large doses are used. Athletes tend to believe that the more steroids they take, the bigger their muscles will become. However, this doesn't happen. There are only a finite number of steroid receptors in the muscle cell. Thus, when all of the receptors are bound to the steroid (i.e., the receptors become saturated), any additional steroid molecules remain in the bloodstream, where they travel to the liver and kidneys. The high levels of steroids presented to the liver and kidneys can cause damage. High doses of anabolic steroids can have other adverse effects too. They can actually increase protein breakdown during the muscular stress that occurs with intense athletic training, increase fluid and electrolyte retention, or produce an increase in body weight.
1 synthetic versions of testosterone designed to promote muscle growth without producing androgenic effects. The better term is anabolic-androgenic steroid.
2 a neurotransmitter stored in vesicles of nerve terminals; it is found in neurons within the central nervous system, the somatic nervous system, the parasympathetic nervous system and the sympathetic nervous system.
3 a protein to which hormones, neurotransmitters and drugs bind. They are usually located on cell membranes and elicit a function once bound.
4 a repeating pattern of thick (myosin) and thin (actin) protein filaments that are organized in cylindrical bundles within the sarcoplasm. The myofibrils extend from one end of a muscle fiber to the other end.
5 one unit of a repeating pattern of actin and myosin present in a myofibril.
6 contractile protein that is present in the thick filaments of the myofibrils.
7 contractile protein that is present in the thin filaments of the myofibrils.
8 a protein that catalyzes the rate at which a reaction occurs. It binds to one of the reactants (a substrate) to cause a change in the reactant's structure, facilitating the reaction.
9 a steroid hormone such as testosterone that is masculinizing (deepens voice, produces facial & chest hair, sperm production
10 a compound that causes the breakdown of muscle resulting in the net loss of nitrogen from the body. Glucocorticoids are catabolic in skeletal muscle.
Figure 7 A skeletal muscle cell (also called a muscle fiber) is shown containing several myofibrils. These protein filaments are important to muscle contraction.
Figure 8 The repeating pattern of thick and thin filaments is a sarcomere. The presence of calcium causes sarcomeres to shorten when actin filaments slide over the myosin filaments. This produces muscle contraction.

There are two facets to the problem in South Asia, both of which are unacceptable. The first is a problem of scale: 716 million men, women, and children defecate in the open every day in South Asia, especially in rural areas: a veritable sanitation crisis that impairs progress in the region. Many districts in India, Nepal, and Pakistan fall in this category. The second, and in many ways more pernicious problem, particularly in South Asia, is one of exclusion, where different categories of people are not able to access and use safe sanitation facilities. These categories of people include those who are socially and economically marginalized or excluded, and those who cannot use standard designs. This catalytic working paper, including a bibliography, was developed for the Technical Session during the 4th South Asian Conference on Sanitation (SACOSAN IV) Reaching the Unserved: Equity and Inclusion in South Asia. It is intended for discussion leading to collaborative action.

The Build-A-Bike Team Building Event is a great opportunity to bring people together, experience team building, and make a significant and important contribution to charities. It is a great event and a wonderful experience to combine team building with a generous donation to people who can use the help. The event leads people through fun and fast-paced learning concerning team building, communication and leadership and then ends with brand new bikes that were built during the event being given away to at-risk children from the community where the event is held. The four Focus Brands were each touched by enjoying the fun and then seeing their generosity rewarded when the children receiving the bikes were present at the end of each of the four events.
Because the group was such a large size, we hired a barge to ship the bicycles from Miami, Florida to Paradise Island so that the bikes could be donated to local kids in the Bahamas. Thanks to Focus Brands: Moes, Schlotsky's, Cinnabon/Carvel, and Auntie Anne's for a great team event, a great contribution, and a memorable event for each of the participants and the recipients of the bikes.

10 Foods that help reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol and improve overall heart health
Below is a list of foods that help to reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides as well as many other heart healthy benefits. Including these foods in your diet daily will help reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease.
1. Avocados
Avocado can easily replace mayonnaise or cream cheese on a burger, sandwich or bagel and is great thrown into a salad or added to mexican food.
In a recent study, patients with excess cholesterol in their blood showed a decrease of serum total cholesterol (17%), LDL (bad) cholesterol (22%) and triglycerides (22%), and an increase of HDL (good) cholesterol (11%) levels when they consumed a diet high in avocado.(a.)
2. Steamed Dark Green Vegetables
Steaming vegetables helps to clear LDL (bad) cholesterol from your body. Researchers think steaming of dark green leafy vegetables may help in the binding of bile acids. this makes your liver use up more LDL (bad) cholesterol into order to make bile, which leaves less circulating LDL in your bloodstream.
Steam-cooked collard greens, kale, mustard greens, broccoli, green bell pepper, and cabbage in your daily diet lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer, advance human nutrition research, and improve your health. (b)
3. Pomegranate
Atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) happens when plaque builds up in the walls of your arteries. This decreases blood flow, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes.
Researchers have found that pomegranate juice helps prevent hardening of the arteries by reducing damage to your blood vessels and may also reverse its progression. (c)
4. Almonds
Almonds are an easy addition to your day. Research has shown that just half a cup a day of almonds will give you a 10% reduction in your LDL (bad) cholesterol numbers. However, they are also high in calories, with half a cup being around 400 calories. All things in moderation. (d)
5. Virgin Olive Oil
Virgin olive oil is full of monounsaturated fatty acids which are considered a healthy dietary fat.
Monounsaturated fatty acids help reduce risk factors of heart disease. They have been shown to lower triglycerides, total cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol. There is some research that shows that they also may benefit insulin levels and blood sugar control.
If you can find Olive oil rich in polyphenols, it has been shown to increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels and decreases oxidative stress markers. (e)
6. Persimmon
Persimmons are a very popular fruit in Israel. They contain a high percentage of polyphenols, especially tannins, which are a very good antioxidants. Eating one medium-sized persimmon (about 100 grams) a day is enough to help fight atherosclerosis. (f)
Persimmon is another food that acts on your bile acid-binding through its tannin rich fiber. Bile acid binding is know to lower cholesterol levels including your LDL (bad) cholesterol and has been used clinically for treatment of hypercholesterolemia (excess cholesterol in your blood vessels). (f)
7. Cinnamon
Cinnamon has been shown to reduce high cholesterol, high triglycerides and high blood pressure.
In a recent study, 2g of cinnamon per week was shown to reduce overall blood sugar levels, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes. Cinnamon supplementation could be considered as an additional dietary supplement option to regulate blood glucose and blood pressure levels along with conventional medications to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus.
In addition, research shows that cinnamon helps blood coagulation and prevents bleeding, while also increasing blood circulation. This includes heart tissue which is in need of regeneration in order to fight heart attacks, heart disease, and stroke. (g)
8. Cranberries
Cranberries are well know for their ability to help fight off urinary tract infections.
However, researchers have found that drinking 250-300 ml of cranberry juice a day significantly reduces cardiovascular risk factors like triglyceride levels, diastolic blood pressure, fasting glucose levels and markers of inflammation like c-reactive proteins (by 44%). (h)
9. Green Tea
In a Japanese study of 40,530 adults, researchers found that those that drank 5 cups of green tea a day had a 26% lower risk of death from heart attacks and strokes and an 16% reduction in death risk of other causes, compared to people that drank less than once cup of green tea a day.
Another study found that green tea reduced LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglyceride levels. (this study was conducted with capsules containing catechins, the active polyphenols in green tea, rather than with the beverage itself)
Green tea is also a major source of oxalate, which can cause kidney stones. This suggests that drinking more than five cups of green tea a day (or taking the equivalent in catechin capsules) might have more risks than benefits. So again all things in moderation. (i)
10. Oatmeal
Eating one-and-a-half cups a day of oatmeal can lower your cholesterol by 5 to 8 percent. Oatmeal contains soluble and insoluble fiber which help prevent high cholesterol and keep your regular.
Getting both types of fiber is a big win for your body, and there's another benefit: Fiber can also aid in weight loss, since it helps you feel full and satisfied. (j)
Once a day chocolate drink naturally
lowers blood pressure and cholesterol
In addition to these daily changes, an easy change you can make is to take a once a day chocolate drink that has the ingredients that have been shown through clinical trials to lower blood pressure and cholesterol, widen (dilate) arteries, reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol, increase circulation, dissolve plaque that is already in your arteries and reduce new plaque from forming.

A 34-year-old man with a history of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) under consolidation treatment presented right-side blurred vision and headache associated with complete third right cranial nerve palsy. Brain MRI (figure, A–E) revealed thickening of the right optic and third nerves. Fundus examination (figure, F) found Roth spots, which are highly suggestive of retinal leukemic infiltration.1 Lumbar puncture revealed blast cells. Other possible differentials were excluded. The right-side headache was probably due to ischemic changes of the nerves secondary to the leukemic infiltration.

2PM Nichkhun Nominated for Thailand's "Kerd of the Year"
It's been belatedly revealed that 2PM's Nichkhun had been nominated for the "Kerd of the Year" in Thailand's "Kerd Awards." The "Kerd of the Year" is awarded to the most influential person in Thailand of the year.
The "Kerd Awards" is an award ceremony led by Thailand's famous entertainer Woody and contains eight award categories: "Born to grasp the main scene," "Born to be be famous," "Born to be a comedian," "Born to be pop," "Born to be giver," "Born to be together," and "Born to be hot," and the "Kerd of the Year." Fans in Thailand will be able to vote for the winners through SNS.
Nichkhun with Thailand's Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra
Aside from his solo and 2PM activities in Korea, Nichkhun has been quite active in his motherland. He has endorsed numerous products in Thailand and has even acted in a Thai movie recently. On March 29, he left for Thailand to attend the ceremony, which will be held tonight, March 30.
Nichkhun stated, "I'm honored to have been invited to such a prestigious ceremony, and I'm also overwhelmed and nervous to have been nominated for such a big award. I'm very thankful for the nomination. It is a great honor. I would like to thank all my fans who always support me. Thank you."
Nichkhun will return to Korea as soon as the ceremony ends to prepare for 2PM's upcoming fan meeting.
